In this special edition of Scott Fox After 9, Scott brings you the remarks from President Donald  Trump, Prime Minister Mark Carney, and Prime Minister Keir Starmer regarding the escalating military operations involving Iran. Instead of clips taken out of context or partisan analysis, this episode presents their statements in one convenient place so you can hear directly from the leaders themselves.
As Canadians head into a new work week, this is a fast and reliable way to understand why these operations are taking place and how Canada and the United Kingdom are responding. There is no spin and no commentary, just the words of our Prime Minister and key allies, delivered clearly so you can stay informed.

On today's Scott Fox After 9, Scott dedicates the entire episode to Pierre Poilievre's major speech in Toronto on Canada–U.S. relations, giving it the same full, unfiltered treatment he previously gave Mark Carney following his address at the World Economic Forum in Davos. While much of the mainstream media amplified Carney's message, Scott believes Canadians should also hear the alternative vision, in full.
Throughout the episode, Scott offers commentary and breaks down Poilievre's plan to protect Canadian sovereignty, strengthen the country's economic position, and negotiate a new deal with the United States. With key moments, context, and clear analysis, this episode reinforces a simple belief: knowledge is power, and every Canadian deserves access to the full conversation shaping the nation's future.
Note: The only editting done to Pierre Poilievre's speech to to cut out the parts in French and to minimize some of the applause. This is Poilievre, in his own words.

Former CTV personality Ana Almeida joins Scott for a candid and lively conversation you will not want to miss. They break down whether Auston Matthews will get booed in Toronto after meeting with President Trump, dive into the latest Rock & Roll Hall of Fame nominations, and talk about the everyday items that have quietly become outrageously expensive.
In Part Two, Scott brings you must-hear audio from yesterday's committee hearings, with ministers pressed on immigration and bail reform. Plus, highlights from Doug Ford's fiery news conference, where he defended his record and declared he is doing a great job managing Ontario's economy and health care system. It is sharp, fast, and packed with the clips everyone will be talking about.

Today on Scott Fox After 9, we break down President Donald Trump's State of the Union in 15 minutes or less. You will hear the biggest moments, the sharpest lines, and the clips everyone is talking about today. From policy promises to pointed partisan jabs, we cut through the noise and give you the highlights that matter. Plus, the moment drawing major reaction across the country. When Trump asked Democrats to stand for the American people, many remained seated. Was it protest, politics, or a misstep? We give you the context and the reaction.
Back home, Prime Minister Mark Carney commits another $2 billion to Ukraine, sparking debate over priorities at a time of economic pressure. And things get heated in Ottawa as Carney and Pierre Poilievre clash in a fiery exchange over health benefits for illegal immigrants.
