This is a TVS, I on the world. I'm John Bachelor, Conrad Black, distinguished biographer in Canada, helping me understand Canadian history, Canadian point of view.

And right now Canada is watching the presidential election closely.

Why?

Because we're two people separated by a border.

We do not enforce.

Canada is our best ally in the planet

and has charge of defending North America

in the event there's trouble.

However, right now, the trouble was in Butler, Pennsylvania.

Conrad, a very good evening to you, the accident of history that Donald Trump is still with us. You have written a very witty

and passionate column for the National Post in which you mentioned two names from

the 20th century. Cassius Clay and Leo Derosia suggesting that they,

their personalities are inside Donald Trump.

What does that mean, Conrad?

Good evening to you.

Yeah, good evening to you John. Well I'm referring to Leo Drosher's famous line that

nice guys come last and you know he was a sort of a tough guy and a metaphor for a tough guy, you know, and

and Cassius Marcellus Clay, which was his name prior to changing it to Muhammad Ali,

was constantly announcing that he was the world's greatest prize fighter

and he could beat anybody and, you know, he called his opponent Henry Cooper the champion of the British Commonwealth

a hemophilia act and things like this and and people became sort of annoyed at him for being so vocal and boastful.

And but and I'm after he defeated Henry Cooper and I was in London at the time, though not at that fight.
