Just as the Victorian Liberals 20 00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:14,080 Speaker 2: get some good news that had a fantastic poll in 21 00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:18,640 Speaker 2: the Age. This week, John Pursuto, the hapless Leader goes 22 00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:22,959 Speaker 2: and spoils it. It's got a feud with Peter Dutton happening, 23 00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:26,440 Speaker 2: The Herald Sun reports, in a move that's done sections 24 00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:29,040 Speaker 2: of the party and some of his own MPs. John 25 00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:32,640 Speaker 2: Pursuita this week refused to attend a Liberal Party multicultural 26 00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:36,680 Speaker 2: dinner headlined by Peter Dutton after being told he wouldn't 27 00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:42,360 Speaker 2: be allowed to make a speech. His political judgment is lacking, 28 00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:43,720 Speaker 2: to say the least kosher. 29 00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:47,160 Speaker 5: It would be hard to dry any other conclusion for sure. 30 00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:52,080 Speaker 5: Not exactly covering himself in political savvy in fighting is 31 00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:55,080 Speaker 5: never a good look. Having internal dirty laundry within a 32 00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:57,360 Speaker 5: party airing out is never a good look. We see 33 00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:00,240 Speaker 5: these cracks happening more and more in different political parties. Here, 34 00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:02,360 Speaker 5: of course, it seems to all be downstream from that 35 00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:06,040 Speaker 5: original sin of the more redeeming situation and amerquent sideways 36 00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:08,200 Speaker 5: from there, and you're just seeing a show up in 37 00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:09,919 Speaker 5: different ways. It was a bit ironic because it was 38 00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:14,800 Speaker 5: a multicultural dinner and that's his portfolio. But here we are, and. 39 00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:18,000 Speaker 2: It's said that more deeming a FED does have a 40 00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:21,320 Speaker 2: FED bit to do about this rift. It's been reported 41 00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:25,040 Speaker 2: Peter Dutton wasn't particularly happy with the timing of some 42 00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:28,239 Speaker 2: of that action, undermining the lead up to the ast 43 00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:30,840 Speaker 2: and by election. So you can understand why the FEDS 44 00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:33,480 Speaker 2: would be looking on not too happy, because you would 45 00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:38,560 Speaker 2: think if any state has a party that should be 46 00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:41,040 Speaker 2: flying in opposition, it should be the Liberals. 47 00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:42,600 Speaker 3: That the problems we've got in this. 48 00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:45,680 Speaker 2: State, with the debt highest stet of any state in 49 00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:51,200 Speaker 2: the country, state taxes going up, so much dissatisfaction, and 50 00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:54,800 Speaker 2: yet despite this poll, I think most people would expect 51 00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:56,880 Speaker 2: if there was an election today, labor would win. 52 00:02:57,720 --> 00:02:59,720 Speaker 5: Indeed, a lot of people did expect that after the 53 00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:02,519 Speaker 5: lock down fiasco as well, and we did have an election, 54 00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:04,959 Speaker 5: So who knows. That's a bigger topic, but it does 55 00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:08,640 Speaker 5: feel a little bit like snatching defeat from the jobs 56 00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:11,760 Speaker 5: of victory. Yeah, all the fundamentals are favorable to the 57 00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:14,840 Speaker 5: Liberal Party, as you pointed out, and it feels like 58 00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:16,200 Speaker 5: a little bit of a head scratcher that if they're 59 00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:20,280 Speaker 5: not able to advantage that for their own re electoral prospects, 60 00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:22,360 Speaker 5: then what would they What would it take. 61 00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:26,120 Speaker 2: Now to a story broken by the Australian newspaper that 62 00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:30,360 Speaker 2: really exposes some troubling cultural issues at Channel nine, and 63 00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:34,640 Speaker 2: the chief executive, Mike Sneezebe, is now urging the company's 64 00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:38,960 Speaker 2: staff to come forward with any complaints about inappropriate behavior. 65 00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:43,920 Speaker 2: This follows claims about former news boss Darren Wick's behavior, 66 00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:48,120 Speaker 2: but Kosher, this concern for the welfare of stuff only 67 00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:52,600 Speaker 2: came about after The Australian broke this story. Before that, 68 00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:54,680 Speaker 2: they appeared to be going out of their way to 69 00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:58,920 Speaker 2: hide any wrongdoing in the workplace. So excuse me if 70 00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:03,480 Speaker 2: I'm a little bit dubious about their claims of caring 71 00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:04,920 Speaker 2: about the welfare of staff. 72 00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:08,720 Speaker 5: Now it has shades, and obviously this is still an 73 00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:12,360 Speaker 5: investigation internally that's ongoing and that will run its course. 74 00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:13,920 Speaker 5: But from what we know so far, it really to 75 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,800 Speaker 5: me had shades of all these other things that we've seen, 76 00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:20,880 Speaker 5: whether it was Fox News, CBS, less members, Harvey Weinstein, 77 00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:24,400 Speaker 5: and Hollywood, like in all those situations, Matt Lauer at NBC, 78 00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:26,880 Speaker 5: you know, it was sort of not equating and give 79 00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:28,840 Speaker 5: those people to this scenario, but it's in the same 80 00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:33,440 Speaker 5: category basically of somebody who was obviously misbehaving against staff 81 00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:36,479 Speaker 5: in a pretty egregious way. Everybody knew about it, and 82 00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:39,280 Speaker 5: they never say anything until somebody leaks at breaks and 83 00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:42,120 Speaker 5: it's impossible to ignore, and then they can conduct these 84 00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:44,839 Speaker 5: internal investigations and maybe this is in the same. 85 00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:49,640 Speaker 2: Vein Well, we'll say at this point nothing has been proven, 86 00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:56,040 Speaker 2: but there's certainly allegations and how someone in a position 87 00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:59,000 Speaker 2: of power left their job. I think that is also 88 00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:03,120 Speaker 2: something that Channel I weren't completely transparent about it at 89 00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:08,040 Speaker 2: the time. Reporter r V Yemeni has captured incredible footage 90 00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:13,279 Speaker 2: of himself being threatened by pro Palestinian activists thugs really 91 00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:15,960 Speaker 2: as Victoria police looked on. 92 00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:20,520 Speaker 4: I'm gonna get you. I'm gonna what are you going 93 00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:21,240 Speaker 4: to do live? 94 00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:22,240 Speaker 3: What are you going to do live? 95 00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:23,240 Speaker 6: What are you going to do live? 96 00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:27,839 Speaker 7: What do you get my way? 97 00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:32,919 Speaker 4: You're the camera? 98 00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:36,640 Speaker 8: You want to me? 99 00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:42,840 Speaker 4: Why did you turn my way? 100 00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:43,440 Speaker 9: Why? 101 00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:45,000 Speaker 10: Why did you turn? 102 00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:48,040 Speaker 3: This is Victoria Kosher. 103 00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:52,159 Speaker 2: The police watched a man throw what looked like a bottle, 104 00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:56,560 Speaker 2: look like the threats were being made a lot of aggression, 105 00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:00,000 Speaker 2: and they did nothing even as they see the entire 106 00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:01,480 Speaker 2: I think being filmed. 107 00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:02,280 Speaker 3: So if they've got. 108 00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:05,560 Speaker 2: Someone here with a profile who's got a camera crew there, 109 00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:06,680 Speaker 2: and they don't do nothing. 110 00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:08,240 Speaker 3: I hate to. 111 00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:10,320 Speaker 2: Think what their approach would be if you're just an 112 00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:13,239 Speaker 2: ordinary person who's attacked in this way. 113 00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:16,280 Speaker 5: For sure, it's hard to really understand why when there's 114 00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:20,000 Speaker 5: such an obvious case of assault or violence, or somebody 115 00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:21,880 Speaker 5: you know, flinging a bottle as you say, that's when 116 00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:24,000 Speaker 5: it crosses that line. There's a lot of talk about 117 00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:27,080 Speaker 5: freedom of speech and protecting protesters rights versus when it 118 00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:29,360 Speaker 5: crosses over. That would be an example when it crossed over. 119 00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:32,880 Speaker 5: And it is interesting. I'm not sure we could speculate 120 00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:35,640 Speaker 5: that maybe there's politics that's baked into this issue so 121 00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:38,839 Speaker 5: much that it's affecting the way the police are deciding 122 00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:40,520 Speaker 5: and in real time what they do or don't do. 123 00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:43,840 Speaker 5: But needless to say, for somebody like Avi who had 124 00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:45,919 Speaker 5: a camera behind him and captures his footage, it's not 125 00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:48,160 Speaker 5: a good look. And obviously he's gonna he's got a 126 00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:51,320 Speaker 5: big audience and he's gonna market that and expose you know, 127 00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:52,719 Speaker 5: what he experienced there. 128 00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:57,000 Speaker 2: Victoria police really need to be far more consistent in 129 00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:59,680 Speaker 2: how they apply the law. They can't have this two 130 00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:05,400 Speaker 2: tier policing, selective policing where if they like the alleged victim, 131 00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:09,760 Speaker 2: they step in. If they don't, then we can't do anything. 132 00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:14,160 Speaker 2: This is really undermining faith in the police force. Now 133 00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:17,200 Speaker 2: let's go to the UK, where Prime Minister Isshi Sunak 134 00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:21,160 Speaker 2: made the surprise announcement that the general election will be 135 00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:25,360 Speaker 2: held on July fourth this year. The Daily Telegraph calls 136 00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:29,200 Speaker 2: it a gamble. That's putting it lightly. They also mocked 137 00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:33,520 Speaker 2: his rain drenched appearance with things can only get wetter. 138 00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:35,440 Speaker 3: His party is. 139 00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:39,880 Speaker 2: Behind in the polls, Kosher badly, twenty seven points behind 140 00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:43,600 Speaker 2: Labor according to the latest Yugov poll for The Times. 141 00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:47,840 Speaker 3: But you have inflation falling. He's got this. 142 00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:51,520 Speaker 2: Rwandant plan that finally seems to be making its way 143 00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:55,280 Speaker 2: through Parliament. How do you assess this decision to go 144 00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:57,440 Speaker 2: early when you're this far behind. 145 00:07:57,640 --> 00:07:59,800 Speaker 3: It's a gamble. 146 00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:03,320 Speaker 5: Indeed, gamble. I've heard it described as a suicide mission 147 00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:05,760 Speaker 5: instead of I like that one better that you know 148 00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:08,640 Speaker 5: you're going down, so just cut your losses and go out, 149 00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:11,560 Speaker 5: go down on your own terms. Earlier who knows, but 150 00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:14,160 Speaker 5: it seems like something along those lines. We talked earlier 151 00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:18,040 Speaker 5: about snatching victory defeat from the jaws of victory. Excuse me, 152 00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:20,000 Speaker 5: this is kind of the same thing that they had 153 00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:23,320 Speaker 5: a massive majority in twenty nineteen. People in the UK 154 00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:28,360 Speaker 5: are really really dissatisfied with both parties. Huge issues, immigration, inflation, 155 00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:30,800 Speaker 5: all of that the same in their counterparts everywhere, and 156 00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:32,920 Speaker 5: if there were ever a party that had an opportunity 157 00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:36,560 Speaker 5: to present high contrast positions that address those issues, it 158 00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:38,400 Speaker 5: should have been the Liberal Party. When they're in power. 159 00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:41,480 Speaker 5: They completely failed to do that and many are not surprised, 160 00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:43,920 Speaker 5: including people who are sympathetic to them or voters of them, 161 00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:45,720 Speaker 5: a lot of them saying that they deserve to lose. 162 00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:48,679 Speaker 3: Other tories have been so hopeless. 163 00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:52,280 Speaker 2: They really have. They've been in power for such a 164 00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:55,839 Speaker 2: length of time, but it seems like the bureaucracy is 165 00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:57,880 Speaker 2: round the show and you really wonder how much worse 166 00:08:57,960 --> 00:08:58,640 Speaker 2: lib it can be. 167 00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:01,000 Speaker 3: I guess we'll find out very shortly. 168 00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:07,480 Speaker 2: Now's who Israeli campaign group which is released really disturbing 169 00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:11,040 Speaker 2: footage year and I do give a warning for people 170 00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:15,319 Speaker 2: to step away from the television because this is disturbing footage. 171 00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:20,880 Speaker 2: This is female troops being captured by her mass militants 172 00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:25,720 Speaker 2: on October seven. The families of these victims want this 173 00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:30,079 Speaker 2: footage to be shown. These young women are still hostages 174 00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:59,520 Speaker 2: of her masks. 175 00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:47,720 Speaker 4: Beautiful. 176 00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:55,400 Speaker 3: And kosher. 177 00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:58,560 Speaker 2: The plight of these hostages has been lost in the 178 00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:01,880 Speaker 2: coverage that we're getting. There's nothing mentioned in all these 179 00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:08,120 Speaker 2: protests and marches, the pro Palestinian marches and campus protests. 180 00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:14,040 Speaker 2: There's nothing said about the hostages. It's almost their hostile 181 00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:16,720 Speaker 2: to any mention of the hostages. We saw the posters 182 00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:21,360 Speaker 2: of the hostages being torn down early on and you 183 00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:25,760 Speaker 2: look at that and it is just so sadistic and barbaric. 184 00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:28,319 Speaker 5: It is a just stick and barbaric, and that's why 185 00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:30,800 Speaker 5: the family members released it. I think as they're trying 186 00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:33,800 Speaker 5: to bring attention back to this issue, they're being very 187 00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:36,160 Speaker 5: critical of the leadership of israel leadership because these are 188 00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:39,199 Speaker 5: Israeli troops and whether rightly or wrongly, they're saying, it's 189 00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:41,880 Speaker 5: been more than six months, seven months, where is the 190 00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:45,400 Speaker 5: hostage negotiation strategy, where is a hostage rescue plan? Why 191 00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:48,440 Speaker 5: aren't they more of a focal point, as you say, 192 00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:50,360 Speaker 5: And I think this issue is just morerphed. You know, 193 00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:53,679 Speaker 5: its tentacles have turned up in all sorts of venues, 194 00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:57,360 Speaker 5: from free speech to immigration, and different factions of people 195 00:10:57,360 --> 00:10:59,960 Speaker 5: who view this Israel versus Palestine issue through different lens. 196 00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:02,400 Speaker 5: But the one thing that was the most unifying in 197 00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:05,200 Speaker 5: all of it was innocent hostages needing to be released. 198 00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:07,959 Speaker 5: All sides generally agree with that, and it's completely gotten 199 00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:09,280 Speaker 5: lost in the fog of war. 200 00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:14,640 Speaker 2: Absolutely, and some world leaders are rewarding Hamas's barbaric attack 201 00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:18,000 Speaker 2: by announcing that they recognize the state of Israel. His 202 00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:20,400 Speaker 2: Irish Prime Minister Simon Harris. 203 00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:23,320 Speaker 11: Last month, I stood on these same steps with Prime 204 00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:26,760 Speaker 11: Minister Sanchez of Spain, and we said that the point 205 00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:31,320 Speaker 11: of recognizing the state of Palestine was coming closer. That 206 00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:38,120 Speaker 11: point has now arrived. Today Ireland, Norway and Spain are 207 00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:43,200 Speaker 11: announcing that we recognize the state of Palestine. Each of 208 00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:48,120 Speaker 11: us will now undertake whatever national steps are necessary to 209 00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:49,960 Speaker 11: give effect to that decision. 210 00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:54,520 Speaker 2: Israel's Minister of Foreign Affairs wrote on x Today's decision 211 00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:58,080 Speaker 2: sends a message to the Palestinians and the world that 212 00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:02,920 Speaker 2: terrorism pa. He also said, these countries are choosing to 213 00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:07,360 Speaker 2: reward her mass and I ran by recognizing a Palestinian 214 00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:11,360 Speaker 2: state strong words, and then now before you go Kosher. 215 00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:16,839 Speaker 2: Fox News's Bill Milujin has done superb work on the 216 00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:20,440 Speaker 2: US border crisis, has been reporting on it for many 217 00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:25,280 Speaker 2: Years've seen millions, yes, millions, pouring through that southern border 218 00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:30,160 Speaker 2: illegally every year of Biden's presidency. Here he is interviewing 219 00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:33,840 Speaker 2: some recent arrivals, and this group are not economic migrants 220 00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:37,120 Speaker 2: from Mexico or even South America. They have traveled all 221 00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:40,600 Speaker 2: the way from Asia and the Middle East to cross 222 00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:42,640 Speaker 2: into the US through the southern border. 223 00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:53,520 Speaker 8: Where he goes from the country, Folks, Pakistan, India, India, Turkey, Yeah, Turkey, Okay, Yeah, India, 224 00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:57,199 Speaker 8: where he goes from Turkey, Turkey, Turkey. Where he goes 225 00:12:57,200 --> 00:13:05,760 Speaker 8: from China, China, Where you guys from India, India, India. 226 00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:07,400 Speaker 3: And Kosher. 227 00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:11,959 Speaker 2: We're hearing the numbers may increase further because they want 228 00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:14,640 Speaker 2: to take advantage of what could be Joe Biden's final 229 00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:19,640 Speaker 2: months in office. And it really is incredible to see 230 00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:23,320 Speaker 2: more than two million every year under Biden coming in 231 00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:24,280 Speaker 2: this way so. 232 00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:27,080 Speaker 5: Reason and in the era of airfare and air travel, 233 00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:29,280 Speaker 5: it's not a surprise that people can travel and fly 234 00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:31,200 Speaker 5: in from anywhere in the world across the border. That 235 00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:33,679 Speaker 5: is wide open. This is an issue that is also 236 00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:36,240 Speaker 5: unifying the electorate in a way as never before. People 237 00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:38,880 Speaker 5: don't want it and it may well be his downfall. 238 00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:41,000 Speaker 2: Kosha Gator, thank you so much for your time to 239 00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:46,440 Speaker 2: save me. Joining me now is Victorian Libertarian MP David Limbrica. 240 00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:48,600 Speaker 3: David, the new chair of the. 241 00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:52,840 Speaker 2: Australian Sports Commission, Kate Jenkins, has said, my vision is 242 00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:57,280 Speaker 2: for sports to be safe, air, accessible and inclusive for everyone, 243 00:13:57,400 --> 00:14:02,559 Speaker 2: with every athlete supported to reach their full potential. Sounds wonderful. 244 00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:05,959 Speaker 2: But before female athletes celebrate this a little too much, 245 00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:09,680 Speaker 2: the CEO of Women's Forum Australia, Rachel Wong, reminds us 246 00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:14,880 Speaker 2: that Jenkins helped destroy the female sporting category when she 247 00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:19,680 Speaker 2: implemented trans inclusion guidelines in her previous role as a 248 00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:24,000 Speaker 2: sex discrimination commissioner. Wong rites, so, in other words, Kate 249 00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:30,880 Speaker 2: wants safe, fair, etc. Sport for everyone except women and girls. David, 250 00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:33,400 Speaker 2: I know you are deeply involved. 251 00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:33,920 Speaker 3: In this issue. 252 00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:36,320 Speaker 2: Is that a fair assessment or should we give Kate 253 00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:39,640 Speaker 2: Jenkins an opportunity to show what she's going to do 254 00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:40,520 Speaker 2: in this new role. 255 00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:44,080 Speaker 12: Well, look, I think what Rachel Wong's saying here is 256 00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:49,760 Speaker 12: exactly right in that ultimately the reason that different sporting 257 00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:52,720 Speaker 12: classes were separated between boys and girls is because there's 258 00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:56,400 Speaker 12: physical differences, and just taking hormones for a period of 259 00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:58,880 Speaker 12: time doesn't change any of that. The fact of the 260 00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:01,560 Speaker 12: matter is that female and males are different, and if 261 00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:03,880 Speaker 12: they want to have sports that are separated, then they 262 00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:04,840 Speaker 12: should be allowed to do that. 263 00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:08,200 Speaker 2: Now, let's go to the energy crisis. New South Wales 264 00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:11,680 Speaker 2: and Victorian households are facing a very real threat of 265 00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:15,480 Speaker 2: energy blackouts this coming summer as both states push ahead 266 00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:19,120 Speaker 2: with shutting down the cheapest and most reliable current forms 267 00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:23,280 Speaker 2: of energy we have. David, will renewables ever give us 268 00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:28,920 Speaker 2: the stable energy supply we need. It seems mad, particularly 269 00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:31,800 Speaker 2: in this state when we're sitting on so much gas 270 00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:33,800 Speaker 2: that we could have a shortage. 271 00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:36,440 Speaker 12: Well, we've got cole as well in Victoria, which we've 272 00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:37,920 Speaker 12: been running on for a very long time. 273 00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:38,280 Speaker 4: Now. 274 00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:41,720 Speaker 12: Whether or not you can get to a fully renewable 275 00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:44,520 Speaker 12: system is more a matter of cost and reliability, and 276 00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:48,400 Speaker 12: to my mind, it seems pretty risky to go down 277 00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:51,120 Speaker 12: a path where your entire energy supply is dependent on 278 00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:53,760 Speaker 12: the weather rather than dependent on what you can mine 279 00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:56,720 Speaker 12: or what you can get from gas. So I think 280 00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:58,800 Speaker 12: it's very risky over the long term. I've been saying 281 00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:00,320 Speaker 12: for a long time that we need to look at 282 00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:06,000 Speaker 12: other technologies such as nuclear energy. But yeah, we're risking blackouts. 283 00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:08,040 Speaker 12: And a lot of this is around the infrastructure that 284 00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:10,680 Speaker 12: they need to build as well. They need to build 285 00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:14,640 Speaker 12: a web of networks all over the state and other 286 00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:17,960 Speaker 12: infrastructure like batteries and condensers and all these things, and 287 00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:20,560 Speaker 12: that's going to take time. It adds complexity, it adds cost, 288 00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:23,600 Speaker 12: and where you've got more complexity, more cost, you have 289 00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:24,720 Speaker 12: things go wrong. 290 00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:27,800 Speaker 2: Well, you've put up a private members built to remove 291 00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:31,800 Speaker 2: the nuclear prohibition in this state. What are the chances 292 00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:36,640 Speaker 2: that's going to get up? And with all due respect, why. 293 00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:37,840 Speaker 3: Is it left to you to do this? 294 00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:41,960 Speaker 2: Why aren't the liberal opposition coming up with these plans 295 00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:46,560 Speaker 2: and trying to ensure we have safe, reliable energy. 296 00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:51,760 Speaker 12: Well, with regards to the nuclear prohibition in Victoria, I 297 00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:55,360 Speaker 12: just think it's a no brainer that if people who 298 00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:58,400 Speaker 12: are against it are saying, well it's too expensive, well 299 00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:02,080 Speaker 12: why have the prohibition? That's argument for prohibition. Look as 300 00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:04,400 Speaker 12: for the Liberal Party, I don't know like they did 301 00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:07,840 Speaker 12: end up supporting my bill in Parliament. But the current government. 302 00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:10,080 Speaker 12: I think that the Premier today said that she's never 303 00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:12,960 Speaker 12: going to have nuclear because it's too risky. I would 304 00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:16,439 Speaker 12: argue it's too risky to put, you know, depend on 305 00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:20,359 Speaker 12: the weather and depend on being perpetually dependent on China, 306 00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:23,920 Speaker 12: which is what we're doing with the so called cheap renewables. 307 00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:27,359 Speaker 2: Is just so dishonest, I think to try to scare 308 00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:31,640 Speaker 2: people off nuclear, it's really just ignoring the evidence from 309 00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:36,560 Speaker 2: around the world. So many countries safely using nuclear energy. 310 00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:39,520 Speaker 2: We're sitting on the world's biggest reserves of uranium and 311 00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:43,480 Speaker 2: we're not. We spoke on the show last night about 312 00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:47,080 Speaker 2: that promising pole for the Victorian Liberals in the Age newspaper. 313 00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:50,760 Speaker 2: They're well in front of labor. According to that pole. 314 00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:56,640 Speaker 2: Clearly Victorians are fed up therese state taxes are hurting, 315 00:17:57,800 --> 00:17:59,600 Speaker 2: but other liberals. 316 00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:00,680 Speaker 3: Are viable alternative. 317 00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:05,960 Speaker 2: How are you seeing their performance in Parliament and are 318 00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:10,159 Speaker 2: they coming up with policies that differentiate them adequately from labor. 319 00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:12,200 Speaker 4: Look, I think a lot. 320 00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:14,840 Speaker 12: Of the decline in labor really honestly has to do 321 00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:17,159 Speaker 12: with Dan going away. A lot of people did like 322 00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:19,720 Speaker 12: him and if you look at it, it's quite interesting. 323 00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:23,040 Speaker 12: The poll shows are decline in support for Labor, but 324 00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:25,280 Speaker 12: it doesn't show people going to the Greens. The Greens 325 00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:27,639 Speaker 12: are sort of flatlining, and it's going to the Liberal 326 00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:30,919 Speaker 12: Party and cross benches like Libertarian Party. And if you 327 00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:32,400 Speaker 12: look at it, I think it's the first time I've 328 00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:36,719 Speaker 12: seen it where the cross benches combined are actually gaining 329 00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:39,879 Speaker 12: more support than either major party. So I think a 330 00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:41,639 Speaker 12: lot of people are saying, well, I'm not happy with 331 00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:43,719 Speaker 12: the government. Some of those are going and looking at 332 00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:45,879 Speaker 12: the Liberal Party. Some of them are looking at minor 333 00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:49,240 Speaker 12: parties like the Libertarian Party, you know, as to whether 334 00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:51,359 Speaker 12: the opposition is viable or not. Look, they've got a 335 00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:53,399 Speaker 12: lot of problems. They've got to need they need to 336 00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:56,960 Speaker 12: sort out, I think. But you know, they're trying to unify. 337 00:18:57,480 --> 00:18:59,960 Speaker 12: How successful that is, I mean, that's up to the electorate. 338 00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:02,440 Speaker 12: But they've certainly got a lot of problems and they've 339 00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:04,200 Speaker 12: been on the back foot a lot over the last year. 340 00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:09,480 Speaker 2: Well, there's a lot of material that Labor give the 341 00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:12,120 Speaker 2: Liberal Party which they never use. I mean, you look 342 00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:16,399 Speaker 2: at this week, this crazy position and conjecture about the 343 00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:21,359 Speaker 2: treaty with the minister making the most remarkable comments about 344 00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:26,000 Speaker 2: colonization and stolen land and people being murdered, the sort 345 00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:27,880 Speaker 2: of things you'd expect to hear from a first year 346 00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:33,119 Speaker 2: art student, not a senior cabinet minister. Why are the 347 00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:38,640 Speaker 2: Liberals so reluctant to venture into those areas and where 348 00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:41,760 Speaker 2: they know they're on safe ground? The overwhelmed, melming majority 349 00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:44,159 Speaker 2: of Victorians do not want a treaty. 350 00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:46,320 Speaker 12: A lot of these things. I think they're just scared 351 00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:48,440 Speaker 12: of being called names. Like we saw it with the 352 00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:51,359 Speaker 12: fracking band in the last term of parliament. They were 353 00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:54,240 Speaker 12: scared of getting called, you know, fossil dinosaurs or whatever, 354 00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:56,240 Speaker 12: and so they end up supporting the government on that. 355 00:19:56,600 --> 00:20:00,199 Speaker 12: We saw it with things around gender medicine and and 356 00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:03,040 Speaker 12: the Change of Suppression Act in the last term of parliament, 357 00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:06,480 Speaker 12: and we see it with issues like nuclear as well. 358 00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:10,720 Speaker 12: Even though the majority of Victorians are okay with nuclear, 359 00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:13,399 Speaker 12: they don't come out and say, yes, we're supportive of 360 00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:15,560 Speaker 12: this like the Federal government has been doing the Federal 361 00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:18,440 Speaker 12: Opposition has been doing recently. So I think a lot 362 00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:19,880 Speaker 12: of it is they're just sort of scared of being 363 00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:20,760 Speaker 12: called names. 364 00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:23,080 Speaker 2: But at the end of the day, you are being 365 00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:29,560 Speaker 2: called the state's unofficial opposition leader. So it's an honor, 366 00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:33,240 Speaker 2: I guess because thank you, and it's something you really 367 00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:36,159 Speaker 2: took to during those COVID years where we had the 368 00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:40,879 Speaker 2: liberals again too scared to challenge some of the crazy 369 00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:43,399 Speaker 2: draconian policies that we saw in this state. 370 00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:47,120 Speaker 3: Before you go, we're seeing wonderful. 371 00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:52,080 Speaker 2: Things from Argentina's new Leaderjava Mila. Here's a libertarian like yourself. 372 00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:54,800 Speaker 2: Does this give you hope that people will look at 373 00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:58,120 Speaker 2: libertarians and say they don't just have some good ideas, 374 00:20:58,119 --> 00:20:59,280 Speaker 2: they can actually govern. 375 00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:03,399 Speaker 12: Well, he's been handed one of the probably one of 376 00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:05,639 Speaker 12: the worst situations that you could ever come up with. 377 00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:10,320 Speaker 12: The state was totally in chaos, like in every way, financially, socially, everything, 378 00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:13,159 Speaker 12: and so he's really focused on economic issues. So one 379 00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:14,960 Speaker 12: of the things he's done, they had a problem with 380 00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:18,160 Speaker 12: their rental properties, same as what we've got in Victoria. 381 00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:22,280 Speaker 12: He went to fully deregulate it because they had regulated pricing, 382 00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:25,080 Speaker 12: so he wanted to deregulate that. They've seen an increase 383 00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:27,879 Speaker 12: in the number of rental properties for being available of 384 00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:30,240 Speaker 12: over two hundred and forty percent in like a month 385 00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:33,840 Speaker 12: or so. He's already brought the budget back into surplus 386 00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:37,159 Speaker 12: in only a few months by slashing the public service 387 00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:40,320 Speaker 12: and a lot of the and also inflation is starting 388 00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:42,919 Speaker 12: to come down. So I think he's making a fantastic 389 00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:49,080 Speaker 12: headway so far by focusing on solid libertarian policies, and 390 00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:51,159 Speaker 12: I wish him all the best for the future. I 391 00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:53,520 Speaker 12: think they're off to a good start considering he's only 392 00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:54,520 Speaker 12: been there a few months. 393 00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:56,879 Speaker 2: David Limbrick, thank you so much for your time this evening. 394 00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:57,520 Speaker 4: Thanks for having me. 395 00:21:57,680 --> 00:21:58,239 Speaker 3: Still to come. 396 00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:03,280 Speaker 2: Alex Epstein breaks down left's latest claims that climate change. 397 00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:16,720 Speaker 3: Is racist plus lefties losing it Welcome back. 398 00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:20,000 Speaker 2: Now it's time for lefties losing it.

He has a book 400 00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:25,639 Speaker 2: to flog, so he's been everywhere from the View to Guttfeld. 401 00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:28,199 Speaker 2: Of course he went on Fox, that's where the audience is. 402 00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:30,800 Speaker 2: But the more we see of him, the more clear 403 00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:34,520 Speaker 2: it is that this lefty, who is occasionally sane and lucid, 404 00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:39,199 Speaker 2: is either wildly ignorant or dishonest. Watch as making Kelly 405 00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:42,920 Speaker 2: educates him or tries to about election denial. 406 00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:45,520 Speaker 10: I just I mean, you keep saying sort of, I'm 407 00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:47,639 Speaker 10: nuts because I don't see the difference between the elephant 408 00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:49,479 Speaker 10: and the mouth, and I'm telling you I identify them 409 00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:52,119 Speaker 10: differently than you do.

He's not going to 507 00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:35,000 Speaker 1: concede this election. 508 00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:36,040 Speaker 7: You don't know that. 509 00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:38,400 Speaker 4: Everybody said, oh, you smoke too much pot. 510 00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:40,920 Speaker 1: Turn out I smoke just the right amount of there's 511 00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:41,720 Speaker 1: no right amount. 512 00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:46,840 Speaker 6: So doctor Drews, you're really good at diagnosing mental illness. 513 00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:54,840 Speaker 6: What is Bill's problem? 514 00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:58,800 Speaker 2: Maybe layoff the pot Bill, that might clear up the TDS. 515 00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:02,480 Speaker 2: And let's continue with left is losing it. Here we 516 00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:05,960 Speaker 2: have a biological man identifying as a woman using their 517 00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:10,440 Speaker 2: position as the Assistant Secretary for Health in the Biden administration. 518 00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:11,920 Speaker 3: To lecture us about how. 519 00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:15,639 Speaker 2: Global warming is disproportionately affecting black people. 520 00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:19,480 Speaker 6: Climate change is having a disproportionate effect on the physical 521 00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:23,200 Speaker 6: and mental health of black communities. Black Americans are more 522 00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:26,200 Speaker 6: likely than white Americans to live in areas and housing 523 00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:30,919 Speaker 6: that increase their susceptibility to climate related health issues, and 524 00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:34,879 Speaker 6: sixty five percent of Black Americans report feeling anxious about 525 00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:36,199 Speaker 6: climate changes impact. 526 00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:41,040 Speaker 2: Joining me now is the author of Fossil Future, Alex Epstein. 527 00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:45,880 Speaker 2: Alexa your response to that, I would argue climate change 528 00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:51,240 Speaker 2: policies do disproportionately impact poor people, not black people, poor people, 529 00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:55,120 Speaker 2: whatever color they are. Is that how you see it, 530 00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:59,440 Speaker 2: because I find it hard to understand how global warming 531 00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:02,440 Speaker 2: is impacting black people more than everybody else. 532 00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:07,320 Speaker 9: I mean, the truth is that, you know, what they're 533 00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:11,400 Speaker 9: calling global warming so bad weather. They're saying it's racist, 534 00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:15,240 Speaker 9: but it's actually classiest in the sense of if you're poor, 535 00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:18,080 Speaker 9: it's hard to deal with bad weather. That's why as 536 00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:21,000 Speaker 9: the world has gotten richer, we've become much much safer 537 00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:23,160 Speaker 9: from climate We have a ninety eight percent decline in 538 00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:27,360 Speaker 9: climate related disaster deaths over the last century. So obviously, 539 00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:31,360 Speaker 9: obviously the solution if you care about susceptibility to climate 540 00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:34,440 Speaker 9: is for everyone to get rich, even within the United States, 541 00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:36,080 Speaker 9: let alone the rest of the world, where most people 542 00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:40,360 Speaker 9: are incredibly poor, even compared to you know, the poorest 543 00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:42,680 Speaker 9: people in the United States. So on the one hand, 544 00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:46,840 Speaker 9: it's just the exact opposite prescription of what's needed. It's 545 00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:49,160 Speaker 9: just we need to become wealthier and then on top 546 00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:52,560 Speaker 9: of it, this person has the goal to say that 547 00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:59,520 Speaker 9: Blacks are suffering climate related anxiety. That's because you're catastrophizing climate. 548 00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:03,920 Speaker 9: Maybe the government should prescribe fossil future. That's the solution 549 00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:05,040 Speaker 9: of climate anxiety. 550 00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:08,800 Speaker 3: That is a very good prescription. 551 00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:13,200 Speaker 2: Indeed, now here's some good news. This week's shareholders at 552 00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:19,520 Speaker 2: oil giant Shell overwhelmingly rejected a climate change resolution filed 553 00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:24,080 Speaker 2: by green activists urging it to align its reduction targets 554 00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:28,560 Speaker 2: to the Paris Climate Agreement. Alex only eighteen percent of 555 00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:30,760 Speaker 2: shareholders back this proposal. 556 00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:32,480 Speaker 3: In March, we. 557 00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:38,280 Speaker 2: Saw Shell weaken its twenty thirty carbon reduction target. They 558 00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:42,760 Speaker 2: cited strong demand for gas. They're refocusing on more profitable 559 00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:46,719 Speaker 2: operations like oil and gas. Seems to be a win 560 00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:47,959 Speaker 2: for common sense, Alex. 561 00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:52,520 Speaker 9: I think this is a good it's a good development. 562 00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:56,320 Speaker 9: And contrast this to say, twenty twenty, when you know 563 00:30:56,360 --> 00:30:59,960 Speaker 9: we had a global pandemic, we had lockdowns that hurt 564 00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:03,280 Speaker 9: most the oil and gas industry, particularly oil because oil 565 00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:05,040 Speaker 9: is the basis of modern transportation. 566 00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:06,520 Speaker 4: And all these. 567 00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:09,120 Speaker 9: People saying I was wrong for saying that, you know, 568 00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:11,840 Speaker 9: we have a fossil future that we actually need more 569 00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:14,400 Speaker 9: oil going forward, and they're like, look, oil demand is low, 570 00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:16,200 Speaker 9: it's not good to invest in oil. 571 00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:16,360 Speaker 1: Now. 572 00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:18,640 Speaker 9: Why am I bringing this up in this context because 573 00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:21,320 Speaker 9: the fact that oil stocks happened to be crashing because 574 00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:25,560 Speaker 9: of those circumstances allowed a bunch of opportunistic ESG types 575 00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:29,560 Speaker 9: to claim that disinvesting from oil was somehow a wise 576 00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:32,520 Speaker 9: investment thing, when in fact what happened is right after 577 00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:34,960 Speaker 9: that oil became one of the best performing sectors in 578 00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:38,840 Speaker 9: the world, has demand rebounded and then continued to increase 579 00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:42,040 Speaker 9: to record levels where we are now and we're still increasing. 580 00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:44,200 Speaker 9: So what's happened is all these do good or ESG 581 00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:47,720 Speaker 9: types who are thinking they would get rich being ESG 582 00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:51,080 Speaker 9: are realizing that they're getting poor being ESG and that 583 00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:53,240 Speaker 9: if they have SHELL or BP or all these other 584 00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:56,320 Speaker 9: virtue signalering companies who've claimed that they want to go 585 00:31:56,360 --> 00:31:58,400 Speaker 9: net zero, that they have to actually do that, it's 586 00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:00,800 Speaker 9: going to creater their stock. Sola glad that people are 587 00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:04,480 Speaker 9: waking up to financial reality and it's helping defang this 588 00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:07,960 Speaker 9: really insidious ESG movement because that not only hurts the 589 00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:11,440 Speaker 9: oil companies, it most of all hurts the oil consumers, 590 00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:14,480 Speaker 9: which is the world's eight billion people who need cheap, 591 00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:15,480 Speaker 9: reliable energy. 592 00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:23,360 Speaker 2: Well, how powerful is the ESG, well, the environmental, social 593 00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:27,320 Speaker 2: and governance lobby. They seem to control a great deal 594 00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:32,440 Speaker 2: of the money. Alex is the power wakening. With the 595 00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:34,520 Speaker 2: pandemic over and things getting back. 596 00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:40,480 Speaker 9: To normal, there are signs of weakness, but we definitely 597 00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:43,320 Speaker 9: cannot let up at all. I mean, you're seeing more 598 00:32:43,320 --> 00:32:45,520 Speaker 9: and more people stand up to it. It used to be 599 00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:48,000 Speaker 9: pretty lonely to stand up to it. Now there are 600 00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:50,920 Speaker 9: a lot more people saying that it's bad. And in 601 00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:54,040 Speaker 9: particular the stuff I'm most interested in, the environmental side, 602 00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:57,160 Speaker 9: the idea of rapidly eliminating fossil fuels, that that is 603 00:32:57,200 --> 00:33:00,600 Speaker 9: a global death sentence. You're increasingly having people wreckognize that 604 00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:05,520 Speaker 9: to some extent. But unfortunately, the ESG movement has totally 605 00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:09,080 Speaker 9: poisoned so many institutions and taken them over. And I'll 606 00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:11,480 Speaker 9: just give an example in the realm of AI, which 607 00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:13,480 Speaker 9: is a new huge source of demand in the United 608 00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:15,920 Speaker 9: States and around the world. A lot of these leading 609 00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:20,080 Speaker 9: AI users like Microsoft and Facebook have been promoting ESG 610 00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:22,880 Speaker 9: poison for years and that's led to the shutdown of 611 00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:25,280 Speaker 9: reliable power plants on our grid. This should sound familiar 612 00:33:25,320 --> 00:33:28,719 Speaker 9: to Australians and trying to replace them with unreliables and 613 00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:32,080 Speaker 9: now we don't have nearly enough electricity for AI. So 614 00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:35,440 Speaker 9: you're seeing these these institutions are not yet apologizing. I'll 615 00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:39,360 Speaker 9: think it's great when Microsoft and Google and Facebook apologize 616 00:33:39,520 --> 00:33:43,800 Speaker 9: for ruining our grid with ESG. Until then, I'm not complacent. 617 00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:50,400 Speaker 2: Well, our National Science Agency, the CSIRO, has published a 618 00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:55,560 Speaker 2: report that insists the powering our country with nuclear energy 619 00:33:55,760 --> 00:33:59,160 Speaker 2: is going to be far more expensive, nearly double the 620 00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:04,280 Speaker 2: cost of doing it with renewables. Sixteen billion dollars and 621 00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:08,000 Speaker 2: sixteen years is what it will apparently take to build 622 00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:12,560 Speaker 2: a large scale nuclear reactor. Is this true, Alex or 623 00:34:12,640 --> 00:34:16,080 Speaker 2: is this just another sign of the CSIRO being captured 624 00:34:16,160 --> 00:34:18,120 Speaker 2: by the green ideology. 625 00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:23,319 Speaker 9: I want to draw people's attention to a weird kind 626 00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:27,200 Speaker 9: of schizophrenia that you have going on here which you 627 00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:30,320 Speaker 9: often see, which is there's a total can't do attitude 628 00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:33,360 Speaker 9: with fossil fuels and in particular nuclear So they act like, oh, 629 00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:35,879 Speaker 9: it has to be incredibly expensive, even though say South 630 00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:38,400 Speaker 9: Korea is able to do it cheaply. The United States 631 00:34:38,480 --> 00:34:40,520 Speaker 9: used to be able to do cheaply before we ruined 632 00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:43,240 Speaker 9: it with bad regulations. So they have a total can't 633 00:34:43,320 --> 00:34:46,960 Speaker 9: do attitude with regard to nuclear, but with unreliable solar 634 00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:49,960 Speaker 9: and wind, which have never powered any country anywhere without 635 00:34:49,960 --> 00:34:53,400 Speaker 9: totally parasiting unreliable fossil fuels in nuclear, they have this 636 00:34:53,560 --> 00:34:58,239 Speaker 9: infinite unicorn fantasy can do attitude. And so one of 637 00:34:58,239 --> 00:35:02,440 Speaker 9: the fallacies here is they're comparing unreliable power to reliable power. 638 00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:06,160 Speaker 9: So that's you know, that's like comparing rotten oranges to apple. 639 00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:08,880 Speaker 9: So they're just they're not comparisons. What you need to 640 00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:11,080 Speaker 9: happen is if you want to use solar and win 641 00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:13,960 Speaker 9: the so called renewables, those companies should figure out how 642 00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:17,920 Speaker 9: to make them actually supply reliable electricity, provide the batteries themselves. 643 00:35:18,040 --> 00:35:20,640 Speaker 9: Then what they see is is just prohibitively expensive. But 644 00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:23,719 Speaker 9: they're just comparing the cost of unreliable to reliable. So 645 00:35:23,719 --> 00:35:25,960 Speaker 9: that's that's intellectually non serious. 646 00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:29,960 Speaker 2: It is intellectually dishonest. 647 00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:31,080 Speaker 3: They're absolutely right. 648 00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:35,480 Speaker 2: Now Prime Minister Anthony Albanizi has unveiled a five hundred 649 00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:39,720 Speaker 2: and fifty million dollars strategy aimed at turning Australia into 650 00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:44,600 Speaker 2: a world leading battery manufacturer. This is another step we 651 00:35:44,640 --> 00:35:48,799 Speaker 2: are told in firming up renewables and supporting the net 652 00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:54,240 Speaker 2: zero transition. But can batteries ever provide that base load 653 00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:58,359 Speaker 2: power that a first world nation like Australia. 654 00:35:57,800 --> 00:36:02,640 Speaker 9: Needs, You know, ever is a long time, but you know, 655 00:36:02,719 --> 00:36:06,480 Speaker 9: with the technology we currently have there, they're nowhere near closed. 656 00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:08,839 Speaker 9: So not even the best form of storage, what's called 657 00:36:08,880 --> 00:36:12,240 Speaker 9: pump storage, tends to be much cheaper. We just don't 658 00:36:12,239 --> 00:36:15,080 Speaker 9: have any form of man made storage right now that 659 00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:18,600 Speaker 9: can accommodate the unreliability of solar and wind. So what 660 00:36:18,680 --> 00:36:21,840 Speaker 9: happens is you build these battery facilities, and what happens 661 00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:24,520 Speaker 9: is they'll say, oh, we have this many megawatts of 662 00:36:24,560 --> 00:36:26,880 Speaker 9: batteries and isn't that going to be great? But a 663 00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:29,360 Speaker 9: mega waut of batteries is not the same as a 664 00:36:29,400 --> 00:36:32,600 Speaker 9: megawat of natural gas because the megaat of batteries usually 665 00:36:32,719 --> 00:36:36,840 Speaker 9: lasts four hours maximum. So if it only lasts four hours, 666 00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:39,160 Speaker 9: you need a lot more than four hours worth to 667 00:36:39,200 --> 00:36:41,640 Speaker 9: be able to handle highs and lows of the sun 668 00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:44,799 Speaker 9: and the wind over you know, days, let alone, let 669 00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:48,640 Speaker 9: alone weeks. So it's just this fake. It's just this 670 00:36:48,719 --> 00:36:52,120 Speaker 9: fake stuff being added on to pretend that solar and 671 00:36:52,160 --> 00:36:55,400 Speaker 9: wind are being reliable. But they're not reliable unless they 672 00:36:55,440 --> 00:36:59,479 Speaker 9: can truly be self sufficient without parasiting on the other stuff. 673 00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:02,200 Speaker 9: So again, I say Australian government, anyone who thinks they 674 00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:04,400 Speaker 9: can make it work, Have somebody figure out how to 675 00:37:04,440 --> 00:37:07,600 Speaker 9: make a solution just using solar winded batteries. See how 676 00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:11,120 Speaker 9: much that cost to provide reliable electricity with the same 677 00:37:11,160 --> 00:37:14,759 Speaker 9: reliability of as coler natural gas or nuclear. You'll be 678 00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:17,080 Speaker 9: in for a rude awakening. But go ahead and try. 679 00:37:17,360 --> 00:37:20,440 Speaker 9: But don't just steal everyone's money and restrict fossil fuels 680 00:37:20,600 --> 00:37:22,640 Speaker 9: and promise the best because there's no evidence it will 681 00:37:22,680 --> 00:37:23,239 Speaker 9: work at all. 682 00:37:25,400 --> 00:37:28,520 Speaker 2: And what about the elements that go into making these 683 00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:34,000 Speaker 2: giant batteries, where they come from, the supply chain and 684 00:37:34,120 --> 00:37:38,880 Speaker 2: the reliance on China. Is that something that isn't given 685 00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:40,800 Speaker 2: due consideration Alex. 686 00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:45,120 Speaker 9: Well, in general, there's just the you know, the the 687 00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:48,160 Speaker 9: negatives are challenges of solar and wind are never given 688 00:37:48,239 --> 00:37:51,000 Speaker 9: due consideration. And then the negatives are challenges of fossil 689 00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:53,920 Speaker 9: fuels are amplified, you know, one hundred times and just 690 00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:58,120 Speaker 9: exaggerated beyond all proportions, so there's definitely this bias. I 691 00:37:58,120 --> 00:38:01,319 Speaker 9: don't think it means fundamentally you can't produce batteries at 692 00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:04,120 Speaker 9: a much larger scale, but if you look at near term, 693 00:38:04,520 --> 00:38:07,840 Speaker 9: what people are proposing with these different net zero plans 694 00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:13,520 Speaker 9: is just a totally unprecedented increase in mining in a 695 00:38:13,680 --> 00:38:18,280 Speaker 9: very anti mining global environment, particularly in the Western countries 696 00:38:18,320 --> 00:38:20,680 Speaker 9: that used to be free but now have many, many 697 00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:23,759 Speaker 9: restrictions on mining. And this is a basic contradiction of 698 00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:27,400 Speaker 9: the green movement, which says that to achieve quote green energy, 699 00:38:27,719 --> 00:38:30,680 Speaker 9: we need to mind the world more than we ever have, 700 00:38:31,080 --> 00:38:33,719 Speaker 9: which the green movement is going to oppose. And I 701 00:38:33,760 --> 00:38:36,359 Speaker 9: think this confirms my thesis in Fossil Future, and people 702 00:38:36,360 --> 00:38:38,760 Speaker 9: can learn more about this at Energy talkingpoints dot com 703 00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:41,920 Speaker 9: that the green movement is really an anti energy movement. 704 00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:44,759 Speaker 9: It pretends to support energy, but it really just hates 705 00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:47,160 Speaker 9: human impact on Earth. And if you hate human impact, 706 00:38:47,400 --> 00:38:49,719 Speaker 9: you hate energy, because energy allows us to impact the 707 00:38:49,719 --> 00:38:51,040 Speaker 9: Earth to make our lives better. 708 00:38:53,440 --> 00:38:55,880 Speaker 2: Alex Epstein, thank you so much for your time this evening. 709 00:38:57,000 --> 00:38:59,040 Speaker 5: Thanks Rita still to come. 710 00:38:59,160 --> 00:39:02,319 Speaker 2: Ben Affleck Week goes from bad to worse as his 711 00:39:02,440 --> 00:39:07,160 Speaker 2: cringeworthy attempt at comedy and his striking marriage are scrutinized 712 00:39:07,680 --> 00:39:11,160 Speaker 2: and inside the Elvis Presley estate fight. 713 00:39:11,840 --> 00:39:21,880 Speaker 15: Who's going to own Graceland? 714 00:39:22,400 --> 00:39:25,799 Speaker 2: You're watching the Reader Paney show. Ben Afflecks week has 715 00:39:25,920 --> 00:39:28,600 Speaker 2: gone from bad to worse. Not only is the actor's 716 00:39:28,640 --> 00:39:32,480 Speaker 2: marriage the singer Jennifer Lopez reportedly on the Rocks despite 717 00:39:32,520 --> 00:39:35,880 Speaker 2: the recent release of her documentary The Greatest Love Story 718 00:39:35,920 --> 00:39:40,440 Speaker 2: Never Told, but his cringeworthy appearance on the Netflix roast 719 00:39:40,480 --> 00:39:43,960 Speaker 2: of Tom Brady is being pulled apart by the star 720 00:39:44,080 --> 00:39:48,520 Speaker 2: of the night, Niki Glazer. Here is Affleck bombing on 721 00:39:48,600 --> 00:39:50,040 Speaker 2: the roast stage. 722 00:39:50,200 --> 00:39:51,240 Speaker 4: You sitting there. 723 00:39:51,960 --> 00:39:55,919 Speaker 16: Hiding behind your keyboard, spewing out all this toxic about 724 00:39:55,960 --> 00:39:58,120 Speaker 16: people you'd be afraid to come up to. You saw 725 00:39:58,160 --> 00:40:00,560 Speaker 16: him at the cart wash, you know, well, went out 726 00:40:00,560 --> 00:40:01,719 Speaker 16: there and did something. 727 00:40:01,920 --> 00:40:04,640 Speaker 7: Who were successful or. 728 00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:07,840 Speaker 16: Even if another player ended up catching the football on 729 00:40:07,880 --> 00:40:12,840 Speaker 16: his helmet, maybe they failed. But fans have your back. Okay, 730 00:40:13,280 --> 00:40:17,240 Speaker 16: you guys out there talking all right behind your keyboard. 731 00:40:17,239 --> 00:40:19,960 Speaker 4: That doesn't make you a fan. That makes you up. 732 00:40:22,360 --> 00:40:25,560 Speaker 2: Oh and here is Nicki Gleiser actually being funny? 733 00:40:26,320 --> 00:40:27,120 Speaker 7: You really are. 734 00:40:27,360 --> 00:40:30,120 Speaker 17: I mean, you're the best to ever play for too long. 735 00:40:30,280 --> 00:40:34,080 Speaker 17: I mean you were tired, then you came back, and then. 736 00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:35,480 Speaker 7: You were tired again. I mean, I get it. 737 00:40:35,480 --> 00:40:37,239 Speaker 17: It's hard to walk away from something that's not your 738 00:40:37,280 --> 00:40:38,160 Speaker 17: pregnant girlfriend. 739 00:40:38,200 --> 00:40:38,720 Speaker 7: It's tough. 740 00:40:40,200 --> 00:40:44,000 Speaker 17: Hey, to be fair, he didn't know she was pregnant. 741 00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:48,560 Speaker 3: He just thought she was getting fat and Tom hates fat. 742 00:40:48,600 --> 00:40:50,280 Speaker 17: I mean, do you guys know about his diet program. 743 00:40:50,320 --> 00:40:52,600 Speaker 17: It is so strict, but if you follow it exactly 744 00:40:52,680 --> 00:40:55,520 Speaker 17: as he does, you two can lose your family. 745 00:40:56,040 --> 00:40:59,560 Speaker 2: Nicki says part of the reason why Benethlet bombed on 746 00:40:59,640 --> 00:41:02,640 Speaker 2: the Knot it was because of his poor attitude. 747 00:41:02,480 --> 00:41:04,759 Speaker 17: Because I don't really I don't like to watch people bomb. 748 00:41:04,880 --> 00:41:05,640 Speaker 7: He didn't prepare. 749 00:41:06,560 --> 00:41:08,640 Speaker 17: He's someone who's famous enough that thinks like this is 750 00:41:08,640 --> 00:41:10,400 Speaker 17: probably beneath them to do this, and so I'm just 751 00:41:10,440 --> 00:41:11,719 Speaker 17: going to do a favorite. It's not going to be 752 00:41:11,760 --> 00:41:12,719 Speaker 17: that big of a deal. 753 00:41:12,600 --> 00:41:16,880 Speaker 2: Doining me now is Entertainment and Royal reporter Kinsey Schofield. 754 00:41:17,080 --> 00:41:19,160 Speaker 3: Is he really that arrogant? Kinsey? 755 00:41:19,360 --> 00:41:21,960 Speaker 2: Is he just going to show up to this massive 756 00:41:22,200 --> 00:41:24,040 Speaker 2: roast of our greatest of. 757 00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:25,960 Speaker 3: All to time? Tom Brady? 758 00:41:27,040 --> 00:41:29,520 Speaker 2: He was definitely I reckon the low light of the 759 00:41:29,600 --> 00:41:30,720 Speaker 2: whole three hour affair. 760 00:41:32,520 --> 00:41:35,719 Speaker 14: Yeah, I mean, he's best friends with Jimmy Kimmel. Why 761 00:41:35,719 --> 00:41:38,560 Speaker 14: couldn't he have consulted Jimmy or some of his writers 762 00:41:38,600 --> 00:41:43,160 Speaker 14: to provide him with something legitimately funny, legitimately good. He 763 00:41:43,239 --> 00:41:47,480 Speaker 14: really just looked bitter and kind of unhinged throughout that 764 00:41:47,600 --> 00:41:52,359 Speaker 14: Tom Brady's roast. So I agree, like, clearly something is 765 00:41:52,400 --> 00:41:55,480 Speaker 14: going on in his personal life, and he seems like 766 00:41:55,800 --> 00:42:00,360 Speaker 14: he isn't entitled in you know, two miles Child to 767 00:42:00,400 --> 00:42:02,560 Speaker 14: ask for help. I don't know. It wasn't funny. It 768 00:42:02,640 --> 00:42:04,360 Speaker 14: just kind of seemed very resentful. 769 00:42:04,600 --> 00:42:08,080 Speaker 2: And it has been called the greatest roast of all time. 770 00:42:08,680 --> 00:42:13,560 Speaker 2: And there was just so much champagne comedy throughout, and 771 00:42:13,680 --> 00:42:16,200 Speaker 2: that just stood out because You're right, it was just 772 00:42:16,400 --> 00:42:20,400 Speaker 2: angry and bitter. It wasn't even he was trying to 773 00:42:20,440 --> 00:42:23,200 Speaker 2: be funny and failing. It just was sort of a 774 00:42:23,239 --> 00:42:26,319 Speaker 2: mad rant. Now I've got to ask you about this 775 00:42:26,840 --> 00:42:31,759 Speaker 2: Cate Blanchette dress. The internet is divided about what it 776 00:42:31,800 --> 00:42:38,080 Speaker 2: all means something that's her dress is referencing the Palestinian 777 00:42:38,200 --> 00:42:43,000 Speaker 2: flag at Carnes. Some say the colors of white, black 778 00:42:43,040 --> 00:42:46,360 Speaker 2: and green with the red of the CANSA red carpet 779 00:42:47,120 --> 00:42:51,359 Speaker 2: makes a deliberate political statement, but when you look at 780 00:42:51,360 --> 00:42:54,120 Speaker 2: the dress up plost, the white looks more like a 781 00:42:54,160 --> 00:43:00,920 Speaker 2: soft pink. It's a Jean Paul golt original designed. Are 782 00:43:00,960 --> 00:43:05,239 Speaker 2: people just desperate to see politics in everything? Or was 783 00:43:05,280 --> 00:43:08,640 Speaker 2: she trying to make a subtle statement here? 784 00:43:09,800 --> 00:43:11,799 Speaker 14: Yeah, I mean, I think I'm one hundred percent with you. 785 00:43:11,840 --> 00:43:14,440 Speaker 14: Blanchette was one of the original actors who signed the 786 00:43:14,520 --> 00:43:17,200 Speaker 14: Artist for Ceasefire open letter to President Joe Biden. 787 00:43:17,840 --> 00:43:18,560 Speaker 3: You know, that was. 788 00:43:18,880 --> 00:43:21,640 Speaker 14: Calling for an end to the war. But if you 789 00:43:21,680 --> 00:43:24,120 Speaker 14: look at that gown that photo you just showed, that's 790 00:43:24,120 --> 00:43:28,040 Speaker 14: a blush pink. I do think that the flag symbolism 791 00:43:28,160 --> 00:43:30,400 Speaker 14: is a bit of a stretch, and people with an 792 00:43:30,440 --> 00:43:34,319 Speaker 14: agenda are perpetuating that narrative. You know, I challenge them 793 00:43:34,360 --> 00:43:36,239 Speaker 14: to try to wear that dress in Gaza though. 794 00:43:38,440 --> 00:43:40,719 Speaker 3: Yeah, well she is very political. 795 00:43:40,840 --> 00:43:44,200 Speaker 2: She's she's made all sorts of statements about global warming 796 00:43:44,560 --> 00:43:47,520 Speaker 2: and other issues. When you mentioned signing that letter, so 797 00:43:48,320 --> 00:43:51,120 Speaker 2: I think that's part of the reason people are looking 798 00:43:51,200 --> 00:43:54,600 Speaker 2: for some deeper meaning. But my take of it is 799 00:43:54,800 --> 00:43:59,480 Speaker 2: it's just address move on people now. Actress scarlets Johansson 800 00:43:59,600 --> 00:44:03,440 Speaker 2: has expressed her shock and anger at a new feature 801 00:44:03,560 --> 00:44:08,200 Speaker 2: from the AI program chat GPT that used a voice 802 00:44:08,280 --> 00:44:12,120 Speaker 2: she described as eerily similar to hers, so similar that 803 00:44:12,239 --> 00:44:15,200 Speaker 2: friends and family can't tell the difference. 804 00:44:15,960 --> 00:44:18,160 Speaker 3: She revealed she'd previously. 805 00:44:17,680 --> 00:44:20,640 Speaker 2: Rejected an offer from the tech company to license her 806 00:44:20,719 --> 00:44:24,040 Speaker 2: voice for the product. So did they just go ahead 807 00:44:24,200 --> 00:44:26,600 Speaker 2: and create her voice without her consent? 808 00:44:26,719 --> 00:44:27,160 Speaker 3: Cancie? 809 00:44:28,520 --> 00:44:31,160 Speaker 14: You know, it is strange because when they approached her 810 00:44:31,200 --> 00:44:32,880 Speaker 14: to do this, it was in the middle of the 811 00:44:32,960 --> 00:44:36,000 Speaker 14: actor's strike and one of the biggest actors and writers 812 00:44:36,239 --> 00:44:40,760 Speaker 14: strike demands was that they navigate the world of AI 813 00:44:40,880 --> 00:44:43,759 Speaker 14: more carefully because no one wants to get replaced. Had 814 00:44:43,800 --> 00:44:45,920 Speaker 14: she agreed to do this, she would have been seen 815 00:44:46,000 --> 00:44:49,520 Speaker 14: as a trader in Hollywood. So yeah, she rejected the offer, 816 00:44:49,560 --> 00:44:52,200 Speaker 14: And it does seem like Chad GPT said, Okay, well, 817 00:44:52,200 --> 00:44:54,279 Speaker 14: we're just going to go find somebody that sounds just 818 00:44:54,520 --> 00:44:57,359 Speaker 14: like you, and they argue that it's not her and 819 00:44:57,400 --> 00:44:59,640 Speaker 14: it's not supposed to sound like her, But they sure 820 00:44:59,680 --> 00:45:03,799 Speaker 14: did rep Sky, who sounds just like Scarlet off the 821 00:45:03,800 --> 00:45:06,799 Speaker 14: internet as quickly as she entered. And so I think 822 00:45:06,800 --> 00:45:08,640 Speaker 14: that that was almost an admission of guilt. 823 00:45:08,680 --> 00:45:11,240 Speaker 3: Right there. That sky disappeared so quickly. 824 00:45:13,719 --> 00:45:17,680 Speaker 2: Now Elvis Presley's family are fighting hard to keep his 825 00:45:17,920 --> 00:45:22,680 Speaker 2: iconic mansion, Graceland, off the real estate market. Its sale 826 00:45:22,880 --> 00:45:26,359 Speaker 2: was scheduled for I think today or tomorrow. His granddaughter, 827 00:45:26,520 --> 00:45:31,680 Speaker 2: actress Riley Keo, obtained a temporary restraining order against the 828 00:45:31,719 --> 00:45:36,600 Speaker 2: sale of the Memphis property by Nozani Investments, who claimed 829 00:45:36,640 --> 00:45:41,719 Speaker 2: Lisa Mary Presley, Riley's mum and Elvis's daughter, had borrowed 830 00:45:42,320 --> 00:45:45,480 Speaker 2: a three point eight million from the company and used 831 00:45:45,480 --> 00:45:50,279 Speaker 2: Graceland as security for the loan. Riley claims her mom 832 00:45:50,400 --> 00:45:53,720 Speaker 2: never brought borrow that money and never gave them. 833 00:45:53,560 --> 00:45:57,000 Speaker 3: A deed of trust. Tell me more about this. 834 00:45:57,160 --> 00:45:59,840 Speaker 2: I'm surprised that they could be trying to sell it 835 00:46:00,120 --> 00:46:03,400 Speaker 2: or a relatively small debt or three point eight million. 836 00:46:03,440 --> 00:46:08,000 Speaker 2: I was at Graceland earlier this year, and my gosh, 837 00:46:08,080 --> 00:46:11,360 Speaker 2: it is a money making enterprise. 838 00:46:11,520 --> 00:46:14,320 Speaker 3: The tours are fool, they're expensive. 839 00:46:14,520 --> 00:46:20,400 Speaker 2: There's just thousands there daily. It seems odd that they 840 00:46:20,440 --> 00:46:22,320 Speaker 2: would have any sort of money issues. 841 00:46:23,440 --> 00:46:25,880 Speaker 14: Well, obviously you're more impressed with it than Prince Harry 842 00:46:26,080 --> 00:46:28,600 Speaker 14: was who complained about it in Spare. But yeah, this 843 00:46:28,800 --> 00:46:31,920 Speaker 14: attempt to foreclose on Graceland is about to become the 844 00:46:31,960 --> 00:46:37,200 Speaker 14: subject of multiple criminal investigations, including interest from the FBI. 845 00:46:37,840 --> 00:46:40,799 Speaker 14: The foreclosure was triggered by an alleged unpaid three point 846 00:46:40,840 --> 00:46:44,520 Speaker 14: eight million dollar debt Lisa Marie never paid, using Graceland 847 00:46:44,560 --> 00:46:46,920 Speaker 14: as collateral. But like you said, Riley said that this 848 00:46:47,120 --> 00:46:50,000 Speaker 14: never happened, and people that have had access to this 849 00:46:50,080 --> 00:46:53,480 Speaker 14: paperwork say it looks very suspicious. The judge has put 850 00:46:53,480 --> 00:46:57,160 Speaker 14: the temporary halt on the foreclosure, but this investigation is 851 00:46:57,280 --> 00:47:00,920 Speaker 14: keating up, and people at Graceland are the finger at 852 00:47:00,960 --> 00:47:04,480 Speaker 14: a very specific person you know in that investment company 853 00:47:04,520 --> 00:47:06,600 Speaker 14: you mentioned. They've already backed out and they said that 854 00:47:06,640 --> 00:47:08,880 Speaker 14: they won't they won't continue to pursue it. If somebody 855 00:47:08,960 --> 00:47:11,440 Speaker 14: really owes you that kind of money, do you so 856 00:47:11,760 --> 00:47:14,920 Speaker 14: easily back out? So I think that this story has 857 00:47:14,960 --> 00:47:17,359 Speaker 14: only just begun and I can't wait to see where 858 00:47:17,400 --> 00:47:20,960 Speaker 14: it goes. It seems like somebody is doing something, you know, 859 00:47:21,719 --> 00:47:22,520 Speaker 14: something sinister. 860 00:47:24,960 --> 00:47:28,600 Speaker 2: Now, what did Prince Harry say about Gweisland in spam? 861 00:47:28,640 --> 00:47:32,280 Speaker 3: I missed that little Pasha. He wasn't impressed. 862 00:47:32,280 --> 00:47:36,160 Speaker 14: He was not impressed. He said he could not believe 863 00:47:36,400 --> 00:47:39,600 Speaker 14: how Dungee Engross that he made fun of the carpets, 864 00:47:39,880 --> 00:47:42,520 Speaker 14: and he was like, I can't believe that Americans think 865 00:47:42,719 --> 00:47:46,520 Speaker 14: a quote unquote king lived here like Graceland was beneath him. 866 00:47:46,560 --> 00:47:49,520 Speaker 14: It's like, Harry, what have you done? Elvis built? That 867 00:47:49,600 --> 00:47:52,680 Speaker 14: was Elvis's shrine. He built that from hard work. He 868 00:47:52,719 --> 00:47:55,920 Speaker 14: was a nobody and he made something of himself and 869 00:47:55,960 --> 00:47:59,200 Speaker 14: that was like his sanctuary. And what, Harry, what have 870 00:47:59,280 --> 00:48:00,960 Speaker 14: you done? 871 00:48:02,080 --> 00:48:02,600 Speaker 3: Exactly? 872 00:48:02,719 --> 00:48:06,680 Speaker 2: I mean, whatever it is, You're so right. Elvis was 873 00:48:06,719 --> 00:48:09,959 Speaker 2: a self made man. He came from it was dirt poor, 874 00:48:10,000 --> 00:48:12,920 Speaker 2: and if he actually bothered to take note of some 875 00:48:13,000 --> 00:48:16,600 Speaker 2: of the memorabilia there, he would have seen just how 876 00:48:16,680 --> 00:48:20,920 Speaker 2: poor the Presley family were, and how Elvis moved his 877 00:48:20,960 --> 00:48:25,480 Speaker 2: own mother into that property to give her the sort 878 00:48:25,520 --> 00:48:28,919 Speaker 2: of lifestyle that she never had as he was growing up. 879 00:48:29,520 --> 00:48:31,840 Speaker 3: Harry, really, now we've run out of time. 880 00:48:32,040 --> 00:48:33,719 Speaker 2: Next week we're going to have to get to the 881 00:48:33,719 --> 00:48:36,960 Speaker 2: bottom of what is happening with Queen Mary and King 882 00:48:37,120 --> 00:48:42,799 Speaker 2: Frederick of Denmark, because there's body language experts coming out 883 00:48:42,920 --> 00:48:47,239 Speaker 2: saying that those two are not on good terms. Kinsy Schofield, 884 00:48:47,239 --> 00:48:50,600 Speaker 2: thank you for your time. That's it from me, up 885 00:48:50,680 --> 00:48:55,120 Speaker 2: Next is Newsnight.
