Bill Boyle is a well sourced and connected businessman who lives in Washington DC with his wife and son. Bill is a trusted friend and source for me who I met after he listened and became a regular and highly respected caller of my siriusxm radio show. Bill is a voracious reader and listeners love to hear his take. I think his analysis is as sharp as anyone you will hear on radio or TV and he has well placed friends across the federal government who are always talking to him. As far as I can tell he is not in the CIA. Follow him on Blue Sky and park at his garages.

| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to today's episode of Stand Up. It is April 15th. It's tax day. Don't forget to pay your taxes or else I guess. I don't know. I always pay mine. I'm happy to have you here. I've got both Bill Boyle and Steve Hofstitter on today's show. Two really good conversations, two old friends of mine. I think you'll really like both |
| 0:23.0 | them. I learn a lot in my conversations with both Bill Boyle and Steve Hofstetter, so I hope that |
| 0:28.9 | you like them as well. I don't have a clip show. I do have the headlines today. Sorry, I was |
| 0:34.1 | gone yesterday, a little rest and relaxation on a beautiful sunny day for me after the amazing success that we had at Podjam 3. |
| 0:43.8 | And I am here today, though, with you. |
| 0:46.3 | So I am back. |
| 0:48.0 | Yeah. |
| 0:48.5 | I'll see you at tomorrow nights. |
| 0:49.8 | Hang out. |
| 0:50.4 | It is Thursday at 8 p.m. every Thursday at 8 p.m. |
| 0:54.0 | Many of us have gotten to know each other real well, and it'll be a lot of fun to recap the great fun we had last week in Las Vegas with Wajat Ali, J. Elkovan, and the Black I Who Tips Rod and Karen, so many of you out there as well. Thank you, thank you, thank you for coming. Thank you, Cassie, |
| 1:11.4 | for making it all happen. I can't say it enough. We'll talk more about it tomorrow night, but right now I'm |
| 1:15.7 | to get to those headlines and then my conversations with Stephen Bill. I'll start with a good |
| 1:20.6 | news story. Well, I think it's good news. It's one year almost to the day since the stunning electoral |
| 1:26.5 | win that made Mark Carney prime minister |
| 1:29.1 | in Canada, but still left him with a few parliamentary seats short of an outright victory. |
| 1:34.7 | Well, guess what? Canada had elections again Monday, and Mark Carney completed his plan to |
| 1:40.9 | clinch control, which means he's secured dominance at home. |
| 1:45.0 | The New York Times has shielding his government from the vagaries of a minority government. |
| 1:50.0 | He will now be more easily able to pass budgets and other crucial bills to advance the ultimate |
| 1:55.0 | goal of making Canada more independent from the United States. |
