01:01Oh, woke bae.

01:03Woke bae.
01:03This guy is so amazing and so woke and so brilliant
01:08and so dope that he makes me want to give a two-tit salute.
01:12Wait.
01:12What's the two-tit salute?
01:14It's like this.
01:15Did you move?
01:16I can't do it.
01:16I can't.
01:17I'll do it hotter for you later.
01:19I'll do it hotter later.
01:20OK.
01:20I can't do it.
01:22So who is this mystery guy?
01:24I know.
01:24It's Justin Trudeau.
01:30Is he coming out?
01:32No.
01:32Do you think we have money for that?
01:35Anyway, we're here to talk about Justin Pierre Trudeau,
01:39who is the Canadian Prime Minister.
01:41Leader of the Liberal Party.
01:42Father of three kids.
01:44And friend to many Syrian refugees.
01:46And he's our woke bae of the week.
01:48Would you describe yourself as a feminist?
01:50Yes.
01:50Yes.
01:51I am a feminist.
01:52I'm proud to be a feminist.
01:53And he's also raising his sons to be a feminist.
01:56To be a feminist.
01:58It's great that you're engaged and modeling to your daughter
02:02that you want her in power and everything,
02:04but you need to take as much effort to talk to your son
02:08about how he treats women and how he is going to be grown up
02:12to be a feminist just like dad.
02:14And also, when everyone was like no to Syrian refugees,
02:18he was like, yeah, okay.
02:22He was like, come out of here.
02:24You need the bathroom?
02:26It's down two doors down the hall.
02:28Yep, on the left.
02:29Let me know if you need some towels.
02:31Because he knows that no one should be a victim of terrorism.
02:35And check out this dope-ass yoga pose that he's doing at work
02:38just cause.
02:40I bet that's how he like lowers himself down to have sex.
02:43Just real slow, Mission Impossible style.
02:46Do, do, do, do, do.
02:47This is a low budget production.
02:49We can't afford for you to hum that song.
02:52Yeah, I can tell this is a low budget production TV.
02:55So we've learned that he's uber fit, he's gorgeous,
02:58and he's pro equality.
02:59For example, last year he decided to have a gender balanced cabinet.
03:03That means 15 men and 15 women.
03:06And when he was asked about this in an interview,
03:08this is what he said.
03:09Because it's 2015.
03:12Oh!
03:12Oh!
03:15Is that supposed to be a mic drop?
03:17I told you we ain't got no money.
03:20Thank you, Justin.
03:21Equality shouldn't be something that's like crazy.
03:24It should be like standard issue.
03:27Oh!
03:28He has an open heart, he's hella smart,
03:30and he's hotter than all the guys on a season of The Bachelorette.
03:33That's why we're going to give you a rose.
03:36We love you, Justin!
03:38He's not even here, Phoebe.
