1
00:00:02,800 --> 00:00:04,519
Speaker 1: On scoring lis Oskolia.

2
00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:10,039
Speaker 2: This is the Reader Panalty Show. Good evening, Welcome to

3
00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:11,200
Speaker 2: the Reader Panahe Show.

4
00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:14,800
Speaker 3: I'm Caroline de Russo coming up tonight, and Labour support

5
00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:17,840
Speaker 3: continues to decline, with the latest polls painting a very

6
00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:20,599
Speaker 3: grim picture for the party. We'll give you a breakdown

7
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:24,000
Speaker 3: in just a moment. Biological men have finally been banned

8
00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:25,000
Speaker 3: from being held.

9
00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:27,880
Speaker 2: In women's prisons in the US. Stephanie Bastian will be

10
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:29,600
Speaker 2: joining us with those details.

11
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:33,879
Speaker 3: And President Trump's first hundred hours in office has been praised.

12
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:36,280
Speaker 3: It's the start of a golden age. We'll speak to

13
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:39,760
Speaker 3: Alex Stein about that shortly. And of course Left is

14
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:40,279
Speaker 3: losing it.

15
00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:43,239
Speaker 4: Let me make something absolutely clear, unless it wasn't already,

16
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:46,280
Speaker 4: if you got it for a Trump, you are.

17
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:47,120
Speaker 2: Not Alad in Mexico.

18
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:50,640
Speaker 3: Joining me now is Deputy executive director for the Institute

19
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:54,120
Speaker 3: of Public Affairs, Dan your Wild Dan. The latest news poll.

20
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:57,760
Speaker 3: It was released yesterday and despite Albow traveling around the

21
00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:03,040
Speaker 3: country and handing out billions, his and Labor continue to slide.

22
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:04,399
Speaker 2: What's notable about this poll?

23
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:07,920
Speaker 5: It was a couple of things.

24
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 6: I think it's not despite but it's because of Alberizi

25
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:14,560
Speaker 6: doing that because the more Australian sea of Anthony Alberizi,

26
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:16,319
Speaker 6: the less they support it. And we know he's a

27
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:19,000
Speaker 6: bad campaigner, so this is probably as good as it's

28
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 6: going to get for Labor. We saw how bad he

29
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:23,039
Speaker 6: was during the Voice to Parliament, where the more he

30
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:26,000
Speaker 6: talked about it, the more support went backwards.

31
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:26,319
Speaker 5: Not forwards.

32
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:28,560
Speaker 6: And I think in terms of Peter Dutton, well, this

33
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:31,880
Speaker 6: is what happens when you show leadership on key issues,

34
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:33,400
Speaker 6: particularly cultural issues.

35
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:34,319
Speaker 5: That Australians care about.

36
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:38,039
Speaker 6: Whether it's Australia Day, whether it's calling out big business

37
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:40,360
Speaker 6: and sporting codes who seek to divide us, whether it's

38
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:43,840
Speaker 6: supporting racial equality by voting no to the Voice to Parliament.

39
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:47,360
Speaker 6: You know, when a political leader stands up for Australian values,

40
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 6: mainstream Australians will back them and they will support them.

41
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 6: So that's the number one reason why Peter Dutton has

42
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:55,640
Speaker 6: been surging in the polls because he has become a

43
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 6: voice for mainstream values and mainstream aspirations.

44
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 3: And you'll also recall during the last federal election, Labour's

45
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 3: best week during the campaign was the week that Anthony

46
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:12,520
Speaker 3: Alberizi was in isolation with COVID, but the Coalition has

47
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 3: released a video of Peter Dutton today.

48
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 7: Here's a look as a minister. I learned that a

49
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 7: strong economy and a safe community are central to everything.

50
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 7: That you sometimes need to stand up to vested interests

51
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:28,400
Speaker 7: and always make decisions in our national interest. The right

52
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:31,920
Speaker 7: decisions aren't always popular, but I'm not interested in taking

53
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 7: me as you pass because we lived in the best

54
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:38,959
Speaker 7: country in the world and I'm determined to get Australia

55
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:39,680
Speaker 7: back on track.

56
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 3: Dan, the preferred prime minister numbers have moved substantially over

57
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:46,160
Speaker 3: the last twelve months, but do you think voters still

58
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 3: need to get to know Peter a little better?

59
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:53,760
Speaker 6: Yeah, they do because most people aren't engaged in politics

60
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 6: on a day to day basis, and you know, you

61
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:57,639
Speaker 6: can hardly blame them for that, you know, so over

62
00:02:57,639 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 6: the next couple of weeks or the next couple of

63
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 6: months will start to see people paying attention a little

64
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 6: bit more. So I think there's a huge opportunity for

65
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 6: Peter Dutton to explain himself to the electorate. And you know,

66
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:09,640
Speaker 6: anyone who's spent more than two minutes with Peter Dutton

67
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:12,640
Speaker 6: would know that he's somebody fairly down to earth and

68
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 6: he's been out a Holy seat of Dixon, which is

69
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 6: a marginal seat, and Labor always thinks it's going to

70
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 6: win and they never do for something like seven or

71
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 6: eight times in a row now, So if that could

72
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:22,639
Speaker 6: be replicated on a national level, I don't think you'll

73
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:25,360
Speaker 6: have any problem getting over the line. But what Australians

74
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:27,920
Speaker 6: also one, as I mentioned before, is a political standard

75
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 6: bearer who will make the big calls on the economic

76
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 6: social issues that can front our nation's problem. And ultimately,

77
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 6: the Labor government has been very divisive. It's been governed

78
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 6: by sectional interests rather than national interests as the ad suggests.

79
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 6: So now we'll wait and see how it goes. But

80
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 6: I think it's going to resonate with a lot of Australians.

81
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 2: And on to Australia Day and the IPA.

82
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 3: You guys regularly pole support for Australia Day. This year

83
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 3: there has been a notable shift, but even some of

84
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 3: the politicians are starting to change their narrative.

85
00:03:59,120 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 2: What have you picked up?

86
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 5: It's been a massive year.

87
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 6: We've been doing this survey for about seven years now

88
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 6: tracking the attitudes of Australians toward Australia Day, and this

89
00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 6: is the single biggest increase we've ever seen, from sixty

90
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:16,279
Speaker 6: three to sixty nine percent who support twenty sixth January

91
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:20,040
Speaker 6: as Australia Day, and that was driven by young Australians,

92
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 6: the youngest cohort eighteen to twenty four year olds increasing

93
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 6: from forty two to fifty two percent, and the debate

94
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 6: has completely changed. We had record turnouts to Australia Day

95
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:34,280
Speaker 6: events across our nation, whether they were official events held

96
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:37,599
Speaker 6: by councils at local parks and community centers, or whether

97
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:40,799
Speaker 6: it was Australians going to the beach or other community

98
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 6: areas to celebrate our National Day. At the same time

99
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 6: as we had a record drop in those who were

100
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 6: attending protests and so called Invasion Day rallies. So what

101
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 6: we've seen is an enormous vibe shift over our National

102
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 6: Day Australians. You know, the silent majority is no longer silent.

103
00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:00,360
Speaker 6: And it's a beautiful thing to see because I think

104
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:02,600
Speaker 6: we were at risk at one point of losing our

105
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:05,160
Speaker 6: National Day, but it's certainly come roaring back and I

106
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:06,720
Speaker 6: don't think there's any turning back now.

107
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:11,160
Speaker 3: No, I don't think there is, and I think, you know,

108
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:14,680
Speaker 3: particularly where the going gets tough, people do still realize

109
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:18,159
Speaker 3: how lucky we are to live in this country now.

110
00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:21,600
Speaker 3: This week, Foreign Minister Penningwong and Attorney General Mark Dreyfus

111
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:25,040
Speaker 3: there in Poland for the eightieth anniversary commemorations.

112
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 2: Of the Liberation of Auschwitz.

113
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:29,559
Speaker 3: The Prime Minister stood by his decision to send Wong,

114
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:32,840
Speaker 3: but he does seem a little rattled by the backlash.

115
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 3: What are your thoughts on this decision and how it's

116
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:35,719
Speaker 3: been handled.

117
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:40,280
Speaker 6: Well, he probably didn't have any choice but to send

118
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:43,880
Speaker 6: Senator Wong given her position as Foreign Affairs Minister. I

119
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 6: think it'd be odd to send anyone of a lower

120
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:49,240
Speaker 6: position within cabinet, so he probably had to go with her.

121
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:51,840
Speaker 6: You know, this goes to the problem and this is

122
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:55,320
Speaker 6: such a solemn anniversary, such a serious one, not only

123
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:57,839
Speaker 6: for the Jewish people, but for all of humankind in

124
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:01,599
Speaker 6: terms of what was experienced at Auschwitz all throughout World

125
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:04,800
Speaker 6: War Two. So it's important that humanity remembers what happened

126
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 6: and what other people are capable and are still capable of.

127
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:09,839
Speaker 6: Just because it happened in the past doesn't mean it

128
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:11,880
Speaker 6: can't happen in the future, so we need to remember that,

129
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:13,480
Speaker 6: and that's the whole point of remembrance.

130
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 8: You know.

131
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 5: I think the issue here.

132
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:20,200
Speaker 6: Is the government lacks credibility because they already have lacked

133
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:23,839
Speaker 6: leadership on the domestic level since the October seven attacks,

134
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:25,239
Speaker 6: where they've always been on the back foot.

135
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 5: They've been reluctant.

136
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:29,200
Speaker 6: It seems like they've often been dragged, kicking and screaming

137
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:32,039
Speaker 6: to make a statement and try to stamp out some

138
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 6: of the behavior. And like I've said before, it has

139
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 6: given a bit of a permission structure for domestic behavior

140
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:41,960
Speaker 6: that we've seen from protesters and agitators to continue. So,

141
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 6: you know, the real problem is because they lack leadership

142
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:48,480
Speaker 6: on the domestic front, they've lacked credibility on the international stage.

143
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 5: And that's exactly what we're seeing now.

144
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:54,680
Speaker 2: And on the issue of domestic leadership.

145
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:58,200
Speaker 3: In an interview with Andrew Clenell on this channel yesterday,

146
00:06:58,520 --> 00:06:59,920
Speaker 3: albit Easy stood bys.

147
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:01,919
Speaker 2: To see to purchase a four point two.

148
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 3: Million dollar holiday home while maintaining that no one will

149
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:08,120
Speaker 3: be left behind. Now, I'm not quite sure that hit

150
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:11,560
Speaker 3: the court with the court with Australians that he thinks

151
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:14,240
Speaker 3: it might Is this just more poor judgment from the

152
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:14,800
Speaker 3: Prime Minister.

153
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:17,760
Speaker 8: Yeah.

154
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 6: I think everyone says, you know, you have every right

155
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 6: to buy a holiday home, whether you're a politician or not,

156
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:24,600
Speaker 6: and I don't have any problems with that, but it's

157
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:27,720
Speaker 6: incongruent with his political history and how he presents himself

158
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 6: to the community as someone from a working class, battling

159
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 6: background in a housing trust. And I don't doubt the

160
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 6: way he's presented himself, but what I do doubt is

161
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:39,280
Speaker 6: whether he's authentic to that now and decisions he's taken,

162
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 6: including a relation to his massive defined benefits that he

163
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 6: will receive when he does leave Parliament, and the holiday

164
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 6: home purchase, as I say, incongruent with how he's presented himself.

165
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 6: So you know, it's all about you know, what kind

166
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:52,440
Speaker 6: of story are you telling the community and how does

167
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:55,320
Speaker 6: your behavior and actions then shape up to that, because

168
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:58,000
Speaker 6: people will judge you based upon what you have said

169
00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:00,560
Speaker 6: and who you have said you are, and so this

170
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:03,520
Speaker 6: purchase is clearly inconsistent with the person who he has

171
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 6: said he is. It's also taking the in place in

172
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 6: the context of a housing shortage driven by this government's

173
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:11,960
Speaker 6: mass migration program. You know, they brought in over a

174
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:14,680
Speaker 6: million migrants on a net basis, which is driven Australians

175
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:17,800
Speaker 6: out of the housing market and really caused the rents

176
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 6: to skyrocket, as you would know full well in Perth.

177
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:22,920
Speaker 6: You know, they've been dramatically increasing as they have across

178
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 6: the country. So you know, not only is there an incongruency,

179
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:27,320
Speaker 6: but there's also people look at it and say, well,

180
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:31,280
Speaker 6: your own policy is causing problems for every day Australians.

181
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 3: And it is causing problems for every day Australians. Dan,

182
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:37,800
Speaker 3: we do have an election coming up. This might be

183
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:41,280
Speaker 3: the Prime Minister can say what he likes, but are

184
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:42,760
Speaker 3: Australians listening.

185
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:47,079
Speaker 6: Well, they're probably starting to tune out. And I think

186
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 6: this sort of happened with the Voice to Parliament, which

187
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:51,720
Speaker 6: was an inflection point where you know, you spent half

188
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 6: a billion dollars on a referendum to divide Australians by race,

189
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:57,120
Speaker 6: which was sort of driven by the activist class, and

190
00:08:57,240 --> 00:08:59,320
Speaker 6: Australians had a lot of good will towards that, and

191
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 6: I think they were also had a lot of good

192
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 6: will towards this government. You know, Albersi was very popular

193
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:05,440
Speaker 6: to start with for a number of months, and of

194
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:08,479
Speaker 6: course Scott Morrison, his predecessor, was very unpopular, so Australians

195
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 6: were willing and open to a change after a decade

196
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:13,920
Speaker 6: of coalition government that often failed to deliver for people

197
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:16,520
Speaker 6: and was a massive failure during COVID both at the

198
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:18,439
Speaker 6: federal and state although it was labor at state level,

199
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 6: but liberal oppositions didn't hold state governments to accounts, so

200
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:22,960
Speaker 6: Australians were rightly saying, well.

201
00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:23,880
Speaker 5: Let's give something else a go.

202
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:26,440
Speaker 6: But I think ever since the Voice to Parliament when

203
00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:29,520
Speaker 6: they heard from Alberanesi for a year and a half

204
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 6: talking about well we need to have this policy to

205
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:34,599
Speaker 6: entrench racial division, while Australians were struggling with cost of

206
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:37,280
Speaker 6: living and were more concerned with other issues. So again

207
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:38,880
Speaker 6: he sort of brought himself a bit of time with

208
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:41,560
Speaker 6: the Stage three tax cut revamp that sort of saved

209
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:45,440
Speaker 6: him with the by election in the outer suburbs of Melbourne.

210
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:47,600
Speaker 6: But you know it's really a question of well can

211
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:49,600
Speaker 6: he pull a rabbit out of the hat again, and

212
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:51,719
Speaker 6: I think the latest newsporpt would suggest that he's really

213
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:52,720
Speaker 6: struggling on that front.

214
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:55,480
Speaker 8: Yeah.

215
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:59,000
Speaker 3: Absolutely, And look just on the invasion day protest you

216
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:01,560
Speaker 3: alluded to a li bit earlier. They have become a

217
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:04,680
Speaker 3: recent Pox on Australia Day. As you said, numbers appear

218
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:07,719
Speaker 3: to have dropped off in Sydney, while those Invasion Day

219
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:12,080
Speaker 3: protests joined forces with the pro Palestine protests in Melbourne.

220
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:14,760
Speaker 3: I'm not quite sure the black Band view of the

221
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:17,800
Speaker 3: world is as popular as it once was, and I'm

222
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:20,359
Speaker 3: not quite sure if the recent.

223
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:23,560
Speaker 2: US election has had any impact on that. What's your view.

224
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:28,360
Speaker 6: I think the US election has had a massive impact.

225
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:31,360
Speaker 6: I mean, whatever happens the US reverberates around the world,

226
00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:34,040
Speaker 6: especially in the Western world, whether you know you agree

227
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:36,079
Speaker 6: with it or not. And I think Trump has taken

228
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:39,320
Speaker 6: a culdgurl to Wokism. And like I said before, with

229
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:41,679
Speaker 6: the Voice to Parliament, let's not forget about that as well.

230
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:43,640
Speaker 6: I mean, that was really the first major defeat of

231
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:46,680
Speaker 6: identity politics with a national vote in the Western world,

232
00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:49,040
Speaker 6: other than perhaps Brexit. Although there was a big economic

233
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:51,760
Speaker 6: dimension to Brexit that wasn't there with the Voice as much.

234
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:55,360
Speaker 6: So you know, there's a big component there with the protest.

235
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:57,840
Speaker 6: I mean, it's your typical Renter crowd, isn't it. As

236
00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:00,679
Speaker 6: you said, not only the I guess the indigit activists,

237
00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:04,400
Speaker 6: but the Palestine activist and anybody else in between, you know.

238
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:06,560
Speaker 6: So I don't think there's any grassroots support for this

239
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 6: at all. As far as I could see, mainstream Australians

240
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:10,960
Speaker 6: were just having a good time with their families, whether

241
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:13,520
Speaker 6: it was at one of the local events for breakfast

242
00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:16,440
Speaker 6: or lunch, or at the beach in the hotter parts

243
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:19,760
Speaker 6: of the country. So I think these protests are well

244
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:23,520
Speaker 6: and truly very much a fringe component now of our society,

245
00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:25,199
Speaker 6: and so much the better, I reckon.

246
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 3: And over the weekend, Peter Dutton handed down his refreshed

247
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:33,600
Speaker 3: Shadow Ministry and crowd favorite just Enter Price. She's been

248
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:38,760
Speaker 3: given the newly creative role of government efficiency spokesperson. I mean,

249
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:41,800
Speaker 3: look where small government people. So we're probably a bit biased,

250
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:42,560
Speaker 3: but do you think this was.

251
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:43,080
Speaker 2: A good move.

252
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:47,760
Speaker 6: It's a very good move, just to show that she's

253
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:51,120
Speaker 6: not only a community leader but also a national leader

254
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:53,920
Speaker 6: with the voice to Parliament debate. And you know she

255
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:55,680
Speaker 6: was going to lead that debate no matter what, whether

256
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 6: the Liberals were yes or no or in between. She

257
00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:00,319
Speaker 6: was always going to lead the No campaign one way

258
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:03,319
Speaker 6: or the other. And I think just Centerest demonstrated time

259
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:06,440
Speaker 6: again that she really can talk to mainstream Australians. I

260
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:09,040
Speaker 6: reckon that the speech that she gave at the National

261
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:12,640
Speaker 6: Press Club during the Voice to Parliament debate, which kind

262
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:14,480
Speaker 6: of went under the radar a little bit, but I

263
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:17,080
Speaker 6: think it's one of the most significant and important speeches

264
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:19,240
Speaker 6: delivered by a political leader in recent memory, and I

265
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:23,080
Speaker 6: encourage everybody to revisit that. And certainly her elevation to

266
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:27,040
Speaker 6: a critical nationwide role and an economic role of government

267
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:30,280
Speaker 6: efficiency will give her, I think, a broader set of

268
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:32,880
Speaker 6: responsibilities and I've got no doubt that she's going to

269
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:36,839
Speaker 6: play a very key role in the campaign and if

270
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:38,320
Speaker 6: the Coalition do form government.

271
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:39,600
Speaker 5: Look, there's a lot of red.

272
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:41,600
Speaker 6: Tape that needs to be cut, so it's a big

273
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:42,760
Speaker 6: job that she'll have ahead of her.

274
00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:48,720
Speaker 3: Speaking of red tape and onto our friends at the ABC, well,

275
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:51,440
Speaker 3: they haven't bothered to send anyone to our Schwitz to

276
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:55,720
Speaker 3: cover the Holocaust Memorial commemoration. We note, of course that

277
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:59,040
Speaker 3: they sent thirty seven stuff at a cost of the

278
00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:01,400
Speaker 3: tax payer of a hunt undred and fifty thousand for

279
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:06,080
Speaker 3: the four day Gama festival. The collective appears to still

280
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:07,640
Speaker 3: be running the show, Dan.

281
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:10,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, it does.

282
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:12,960
Speaker 6: And this is a big issue for the ABC in

283
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:15,920
Speaker 6: for all Australians, because all Australians pay for the ABC,

284
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:18,679
Speaker 6: or at least all Australian tax payers pay for the ABC.

285
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:21,320
Speaker 5: And you know, over the years, really.

286
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:24,199
Speaker 6: Over i'd say the last decade or so, the ABC

287
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:28,600
Speaker 6: has stopped being an institution of cultural importance in a

288
00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:30,960
Speaker 6: manner that it may have been in the past. It

289
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:35,280
Speaker 6: struggles to speak to mainstream values because it is largely

290
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:37,960
Speaker 6: captured by an inner city collective run out of Sydney

291
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:40,080
Speaker 6: and Melbourne. I've had you know, I've been on the

292
00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:42,960
Speaker 6: ABC many times in the regions and I reckon they

293
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:45,439
Speaker 6: do a pretty good job on regional radio. They're fairly balanced,

294
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:48,720
Speaker 6: but when it comes to representing mainstream Australians in the

295
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:51,360
Speaker 6: suburbs and the outer suburbs, they time and time again

296
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:53,880
Speaker 6: show that they get it wrong. They're so focused on

297
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:56,640
Speaker 6: their niche issues that they just can't They're in a

298
00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:59,000
Speaker 6: position now, I reckon, they just can't even understand what

299
00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:01,960
Speaker 6: the typical on the street thinks. So this is why

300
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:04,720
Speaker 6: their ratings or their marquee programs are going down, and

301
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:06,200
Speaker 6: they're just going to continue to go down.

302
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:09,640
Speaker 5: If they behave in this manner, it.

303
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:12,680
Speaker 3: Won't surprise you that I am in furious agreement.

304
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:14,199
Speaker 2: Thank you so much, Daniel Wilt.

305
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:19,200
Speaker 3: Joining me now is Women's Forum Australia's head of advocacy,

306
00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:20,200
Speaker 3: Steph Bastian.

307
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:24,200
Speaker 2: Steph, Look, we seem to me making progress in the

308
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:25,120
Speaker 2: fight to return the.

309
00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:28,960
Speaker 3: World to gender common sense. Obviously that progress is not linear.

310
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:32,560
Speaker 3: And then in the Albanezy government, Minister Catherine King has

311
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:37,040
Speaker 3: accused Donald Trump of sowing a division because he dared

312
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:40,800
Speaker 3: to back basic biology. We still have a little way

313
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:42,160
Speaker 3: to go in Australia, don't we.

314
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:46,080
Speaker 9: Yeah, we certainly do.

315
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:49,320
Speaker 10: Not only were hers and Jasina Allen's comments inappropriate, they

316
00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:52,000
Speaker 10: were totally dismissive of the issues that are facing women

317
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:56,360
Speaker 10: because of our policies that prioritize gender ideology over women's

318
00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:59,760
Speaker 10: sex base rights. I mean, we have women in prison

319
00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:02,480
Speaker 10: who who are being housed with male offenders. We have

320
00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:05,240
Speaker 10: little girls going to school and having to share bathrooms

321
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:08,480
Speaker 10: with male with male students, and parents are telling me

322
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:10,360
Speaker 10: that their girls are holding on all day rather than

323
00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:13,640
Speaker 10: going out of embarrassment or for fear of their safety.

324
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:18,240
Speaker 10: We have women being injured in sport because of our

325
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:21,360
Speaker 10: inclusive policies that allow men to identifying to female team.

326
00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:24,200
Speaker 10: Some of these are head injuries, stomach injuries, broken bones.

327
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:28,440
Speaker 10: It's absolutely horrendous. So these comments, I mean, not only

328
00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:32,600
Speaker 10: are they being divisive, they are totally dismissing the issues

329
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:35,600
Speaker 10: that are being faced by women today as a result

330
00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:38,960
Speaker 10: of bad government failure to address this issue. And quite frankly,

331
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:41,640
Speaker 10: the train left the station before Trump got elected. His

332
00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:45,320
Speaker 10: policies are simply surcharging the demand for change in this country.

333
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:50,640
Speaker 3: And Steph, just a point. I mean, this issue was

334
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:54,480
Speaker 3: a real sacred cow. You know, even twelve eighteen months ago.

335
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:57,200
Speaker 3: Do you think we are making some progress here in

336
00:15:57,240 --> 00:16:00,520
Speaker 3: Australia at least being able to more openly speak about it.

337
00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:03,560
Speaker 9: Oh?

338
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:06,080
Speaker 10: Absolutely, I think more and more people are speaking up

339
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:09,000
Speaker 10: across the political spectrum. There was silence I think for

340
00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:12,560
Speaker 10: a long time, particularly from people on the left who

341
00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:17,600
Speaker 10: saw themselves as allies. But increasingly, particularly as other groups

342
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:20,560
Speaker 10: such as you know, lesbians and same sex people are

343
00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:23,520
Speaker 10: being affected, they're realizing that this gender ideology is just

344
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:26,920
Speaker 10: taking over everywhere and that it's no longer about equal riotes,

345
00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:31,000
Speaker 10: it's about submission, and it's just it's gone so far,

346
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:32,880
Speaker 10: and the harm is so great to.

347
00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:34,840
Speaker 9: Women and to girls and to all the rest of it.

348
00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:38,200
Speaker 10: More and more people are realizing that it's not based

349
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:39,920
Speaker 10: on common sense and it's.

350
00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:40,160
Speaker 5: Got to go.

351
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:43,200
Speaker 2: Yeah. Absolutely.

352
00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:47,400
Speaker 3: Now, some recent research conducted by Employment Service ZIMIA has

353
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:50,720
Speaker 3: shown that in the US, seventy five percent of DEI

354
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:55,640
Speaker 3: positions were held by white Americans, and ironically, blokes still

355
00:16:55,760 --> 00:17:00,240
Speaker 3: seem to earn more than women despite preaching equality. Now

356
00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:03,800
Speaker 3: I find this, you know, hysterically funny. Doesn't it just

357
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:07,080
Speaker 3: show how shallow and disingenuous this mantra.

358
00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:10,160
Speaker 2: Has been from right at the very beginning.

359
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:17,679
Speaker 10: Oh absolutely, These sorts of roles were always about pr exercises,

360
00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:21,720
Speaker 10: particularly by governments and woke corporations. I remember going to

361
00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:24,400
Speaker 10: the Northern Territory when the Voice campaign just to bring

362
00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:27,639
Speaker 10: it back home, and I met with community organizations who

363
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:30,080
Speaker 10: were working on the front line with women facing domestic

364
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:33,679
Speaker 10: violence or getting young offenders back on track after a

365
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:37,159
Speaker 10: stint in prison. And while you know, inner city elites

366
00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:42,240
Speaker 10: were arguing about land rights and the Voice, they had

367
00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:45,640
Speaker 10: government being stripped from the government, funding being stripped for them.

368
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:48,040
Speaker 9: And they are no longer able to deliver those services.

369
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:51,760
Speaker 10: I think that big corporations and government departments that want

370
00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:53,520
Speaker 10: to do the right thing should be putting these three

371
00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:56,480
Speaker 10: hundred thousand dollars salaries to better use, quite frankly, but

372
00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:58,600
Speaker 10: there doesn't seem to be any initiative to do that,

373
00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:01,480
Speaker 10: probably because there's little to be gained from a pr

374
00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:02,480
Speaker 10: perspective out of it.

375
00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:05,080
Speaker 8: Yeah.

376
00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:05,760
Speaker 2: Well, I've just.

377
00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:09,720
Speaker 3: Thoroughly enjoyed light being shone down on this. It has

378
00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:13,000
Speaker 3: been a very interesting week, that's for sure.

379
00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:15,960
Speaker 2: And look, women's rights groups, and you raise this earlier,

380
00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:18,800
Speaker 2: they've long fought to keep biological.

381
00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:20,719
Speaker 3: Men out of women's prisons, and this is now the

382
00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:21,960
Speaker 3: reality in the US.

383
00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:23,800
Speaker 2: Can you tell us about the executive order?

384
00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:30,159
Speaker 10: Yeah, it's a brilliant executive order. I'm so pleased that

385
00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:32,960
Speaker 10: it's happened because women in prison are some of the

386
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:35,960
Speaker 10: most marginalized and the most vulnerable in society. They often

387
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:38,719
Speaker 10: come from backgrounds of abuse and trauma and neglect. They

388
00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:42,840
Speaker 10: suffer greater mental health issues and often addiction problems as well.

389
00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:46,440
Speaker 10: And the last thing that they want, the last thing

390
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:49,040
Speaker 10: that they need, is to have male offenders being placed

391
00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:52,120
Speaker 10: in prisons with them. It's grossly unfair and I think

392
00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:55,520
Speaker 10: what the Trump administration has done here is common sense

393
00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:57,680
Speaker 10: and it's something that we need here in Australia too.

394
00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:01,520
Speaker 10: We know that there are sex offenders and male perpetrates

395
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:04,920
Speaker 10: being housed in female prison self idea into female prisons.

396
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:07,320
Speaker 9: There was an example.

397
00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 10: Of this raised a couple of weeks ago by a

398
00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:12,760
Speaker 10: Rodducks magazine where late last year a male offender he

399
00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:15,400
Speaker 10: was arrested as a male, he was out on bail

400
00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:20,880
Speaker 10: in male accommodation on pedophilia charges, then during sentencing housed

401
00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:23,639
Speaker 10: and housed and placed into a female prison.

402
00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:26,000
Speaker 9: I mean, it's just not good enough for the safety

403
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:26,359
Speaker 9: of women.

404
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:30,040
Speaker 10: Once again their rights are being trampled on by gender ideology,

405
00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:33,600
Speaker 10: men who identify as women for their own.

406
00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:34,440
Speaker 9: Intents and purposes.

407
00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:37,520
Speaker 10: So brilliant policy, but I think we definitely need something

408
00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:40,040
Speaker 10: here and probably at a federal level, because every state

409
00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:41,040
Speaker 10: has different policies.

410
00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:41,720
Speaker 9: We need an.

411
00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:47,120
Speaker 10: Overarching, overarching policy that's going to improve things across.

412
00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:48,639
Speaker 9: The board for these vulnerable women.

413
00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:50,600
Speaker 11: Yeah.

414
00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:53,719
Speaker 3: Well, you would think that the feminists would be you know,

415
00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:57,560
Speaker 3: you don't have plenty to say about this, and typically

416
00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:00,399
Speaker 3: on this issue they are silent. Now last, and my

417
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:04,840
Speaker 3: favorite gender meltdown this week is from Awen Madawi writing

418
00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:08,119
Speaker 3: for our friends at The Guardian. Now, her op ed

419
00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:11,800
Speaker 3: proffers the question, after his executive order on sex, is

420
00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:14,920
Speaker 3: Trump legally the first female president?

421
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:15,400
Speaker 12: Now?

422
00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:17,480
Speaker 3: Look, we've seen some drivel out of the garden over

423
00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:20,800
Speaker 3: the years, but this article just makes me feel like

424
00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:24,120
Speaker 3: the world is healing and the morons are outing themselves.

425
00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:26,119
Speaker 2: You know, what was this all about?

426
00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:32,960
Speaker 10: I was absolutely absurd to claim that. You know, scientists

427
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:36,360
Speaker 10: no longer agree that sex is binary, and I mean

428
00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:39,960
Speaker 10: the reality is sex is actually determined from conception because

429
00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:43,360
Speaker 10: the male sperm determined sex. The sex characteristics might take

430
00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:46,679
Speaker 10: a little while to determine, but in most cases, in

431
00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:47,400
Speaker 10: most normal.

432
00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:48,359
Speaker 9: Cases, it's already there.

433
00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:53,520
Speaker 10: I think this is just historyonics and the organizations like

434
00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:58,200
Speaker 10: The Guardian and the Misinformation continue to publish this information,

435
00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:00,560
Speaker 10: but people are switching off. I mean, more and more

436
00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:04,639
Speaker 10: people are getting the news and information from social media,

437
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:07,800
Speaker 10: and there's a reason for that because they've lost credibility.

438
00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:11,560
Speaker 10: So I think if these organizations, if they want to

439
00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:14,280
Speaker 10: sustain themselves, they need to get back to factual reporting,

440
00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:17,639
Speaker 10: telling the truth, and to stop misleading the public with

441
00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:19,199
Speaker 10: this misinformation.

442
00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:22,679
Speaker 3: And go back to posting on x so they can

443
00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:25,280
Speaker 3: get some more feedback. Thank you so much, Steph Bashan

444
00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:28,280
Speaker 3: for joining us. Still to come, Lefties losing it, Plus

445
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:31,600
Speaker 3: Alex Stone joins me to discuss Trump's first one hundred

446
00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:45,200
Speaker 3: hours in office. Now it's time for Lefti's losing it

447
00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:48,520
Speaker 3: and a week into the Trump presidency and Trumps derangement

448
00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:50,040
Speaker 3: syndrome has well and.

449
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:51,560
Speaker 2: Truly hit its stride.

450
00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:55,199
Speaker 3: So deranged in fact, that lefties appear to think that

451
00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:59,000
Speaker 3: all Mexicans in the US are illegal because if you

452
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:01,880
Speaker 3: voted for Trump, now you can't eat Mexican food.

453
00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:04,119
Speaker 1: Listen, if I pull up to the Mexican restaurant and

454
00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:05,679
Speaker 1: I see a truck, because let's face that, it's going

455
00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:08,600
Speaker 1: to be a truck with a Trump bumper sticker, you're

456
00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:11,240
Speaker 1: getting keyed. I didn't want to see you at Taco Bell.

457
00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:12,560
Speaker 1: The only thing you get to eat for the rest

458
00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:15,480
Speaker 1: of your life is plain white bread and mayonnaise. And

459
00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:16,600
Speaker 1: I know that you were gonna eat a lot of

460
00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:19,080
Speaker 1: that anyway, but that's all you deserve. You deserve nothing

461
00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:20,800
Speaker 1: that tastes good for the rest of your life.

462
00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:23,800
Speaker 2: Or if you voted for Trump, you can't go to Mexico.

463
00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:27,240
Speaker 4: And let me make something absolutely clear, unless there wasn't already,

464
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:31,120
Speaker 4: if you voted for Trump, you are not allowed in Mexico.

465
00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:31,720
Speaker 8: You are not.

466
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:36,359
Speaker 4: Allowed at Gawos, Cancun, Perto, Wayata, Auascaliandez.

467
00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:37,560
Speaker 2: None of that. Guess what, baby, that's all in Mexico.

468
00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:39,560
Speaker 8: You don't like us, we don't like you.

469
00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:41,840
Speaker 4: Don't go there, Stay in your country.

470
00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:43,200
Speaker 8: Figure it out.

471
00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:46,639
Speaker 3: The raging irony is that to travel between countries you

472
00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:50,360
Speaker 3: usually need some form of identification and to enter at

473
00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:51,919
Speaker 3: a formal port of entry.

474
00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:53,000
Speaker 2: It's the people.

475
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:55,280
Speaker 3: Without idea who are jumping the fences that are the

476
00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:59,640
Speaker 3: current cause for concern. How people can't or won't understand

477
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:03,639
Speaker 3: the differentference is beyond me. And while the threat of

478
00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:07,520
Speaker 3: cancel culture is waning, this is true, it still rears

479
00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:08,840
Speaker 3: its ugly head on occasion.

480
00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:09,520
Speaker 5: Now.

481
00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:13,439
Speaker 3: The single juel she performed at rfk's Make America Healthy

482
00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:14,240
Speaker 3: Again Ball.

483
00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:31,920
Speaker 13: Which was met with such severe backlash that she had

484
00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:34,960
Speaker 13: to issue an apology for causing pain.

485
00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:40,480
Speaker 14: I'm so sorry that I caused pain, especially in my

486
00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:45,200
Speaker 14: LGBTQA plus community. Because you guys are treasures. You make

487
00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:46,960
Speaker 14: the world a better place.

488
00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:49,680
Speaker 3: Never mind the pain that is caused by poor access

489
00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:53,960
Speaker 3: to health care, poor therapeutic regulation, poor diet, and net's associated

490
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:58,960
Speaker 3: health complications, amongst many things. I'll never understand why Americans seem.

491
00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:00,840
Speaker 2: To eat like health care areas free.

492
00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:06,719
Speaker 3: Anyway, despite all that, an apology was apparently warranted because feelings.

493
00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:10,000
Speaker 2: It's actually so perverse. I have no more words.

494
00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:14,360
Speaker 3: And with much discussion, change of policy and ranker surrounding

495
00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:19,280
Speaker 3: the deportation of illegal immigrants, one TikToker advise Americans to

496
00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:20,720
Speaker 3: interfere with ICE agents.

497
00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:25,439
Speaker 15: We should try to make it as much as uncomfortable for.

498
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:27,400
Speaker 8: The ICE eight as as possible.

499
00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:30,080
Speaker 15: You see a group of I'm going to laudge dinner

500
00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:33,280
Speaker 15: breakfast through a restaurant you're working at, and you happen

501
00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:36,440
Speaker 15: to be Hispanic, and you happen to be in the kitchen,

502
00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:43,600
Speaker 15: split out the food, do unhuman things to their food.

503
00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:46,480
Speaker 2: Another claim, she was willing to land herself in.

504
00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:49,359
Speaker 16: Jail if it comes into my school. I'm going to jail,

505
00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:53,480
Speaker 16: full start. I'm going to jail. Don't go to go

506
00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:57,560
Speaker 16: with me in jail. I mean because in no way

507
00:24:58,359 --> 00:24:59,200
Speaker 16: retain the students.

508
00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:02,760
Speaker 12: And then the ICE can now raid classrooms, and as

509
00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:04,600
Speaker 12: a high school teacher, I just want to make one

510
00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:08,240
Speaker 12: thing clear. If someone tries to come in my classroom

511
00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:11,480
Speaker 12: and take one of my students, one of us isn't

512
00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:14,600
Speaker 12: leaving the classroom play with me.

513
00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:18,800
Speaker 3: Fortunately, the new US ladyship is having none of it.

514
00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:21,120
Speaker 17: I don't agree that all these immigrants or all these

515
00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:24,119
Speaker 17: refugees have been properly vetted. In fact, we know that

516
00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:27,800
Speaker 17: there are cases of people who allegedly were properly vetted,

517
00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:30,879
Speaker 17: and then we're literally planning terrorist attacks in our country

518
00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:32,720
Speaker 17: that happened during the campaign, if you may.

519
00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:34,520
Speaker 8: Remember, these people are vetted, just like the guy.

520
00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:36,760
Speaker 17: Who planned a terrorist attack in Oklahoma a few months ago.

521
00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:40,280
Speaker 17: He was allegedly properly vetted. I don't want my children

522
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:43,240
Speaker 17: to share a neighborhood with people who are not properly vetted.

523
00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:45,240
Speaker 17: And because I don't want it for my kids, I'm

524
00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:47,600
Speaker 17: not going to force any other American citizens' kids to

525
00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:48,120
Speaker 17: do that either.

526
00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:50,240
Speaker 5: No, and that was a very particular case.

527
00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:51,840
Speaker 1: It wasn't clear if he was radicalized when he got

528
00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:53,880
Speaker 1: here or while he was living.

529
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:55,200
Speaker 8: I don't really care, Margaret.

530
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:57,159
Speaker 17: I don't want that person in my country, and I

531
00:25:57,160 --> 00:25:58,560
Speaker 17: think most Americans agree with me.

532
00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:00,920
Speaker 2: I don't care a and anyway.

533
00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:04,480
Speaker 3: That's today's snapshot of the total stupidity of the modern left.

534
00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:08,119
Speaker 3: It's been a memorable week in US politics with the

535
00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:10,960
Speaker 3: return of Donald Trump to the White House. Compared to

536
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:13,480
Speaker 3: the lethargy of the last four years, it feels like

537
00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:14,240
Speaker 3: we've all of a.

538
00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:16,320
Speaker 2: Sudden been plunged into a cold bath.

539
00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:20,040
Speaker 3: Here is a video highlighting what Trump is called the

540
00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:22,520
Speaker 3: most historic one hundred hours in office.

541
00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:27,840
Speaker 18: The Golden Age of America begins right now. America's decline

542
00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:32,040
Speaker 18: is over. We will be working to meet every crisis

543
00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:33,280
Speaker 18: with dignity.

544
00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:34,280
Speaker 8: And power and strength.

545
00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:39,160
Speaker 18: We will move with purpose and speed to bring back hope, prosperity,

546
00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:44,479
Speaker 18: safety and use for citizens of every race, religion, color,

547
00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:50,240
Speaker 18: and create for American citizens. January twenty, twenty twenty five

548
00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:56,400
Speaker 18: is Liberation Day, and everything we do my administration will

549
00:26:56,440 --> 00:27:00,000
Speaker 18: be inspired by a strong pursuit of excellence and unrelat

550
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:04,760
Speaker 18: doing success. America will reclaim its rightful place as the greatest,

551
00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:07,480
Speaker 18: most powerful, most respected nation or Earth.

552
00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:10,440
Speaker 3: Joining me now is comedian and host of Prime Time

553
00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:13,639
Speaker 3: with Alex Stein on Blaze TV. The man himself, Alex Stein,

554
00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:18,439
Speaker 3: Alex Trump is organized and not wasting time this time round.

555
00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:23,199
Speaker 19: No, Donald Trump is not wasting time. He's setting the

556
00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:25,920
Speaker 19: tone of his presidency. You know right from the start

557
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:29,920
Speaker 19: that he means business. That he's done messing around letting

558
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:34,560
Speaker 19: other countries just walk to our country and become asylum seekers.

559
00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:37,639
Speaker 19: He's done with that. He's realized that we have a

560
00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:39,960
Speaker 19: serious issue at the border, and that's why he's putting

561
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:43,560
Speaker 19: troops there. He's helping all the January six ers get

562
00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:47,280
Speaker 19: pardoned because the Department of Justice was weaponized against American citizens.

563
00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:50,720
Speaker 19: So just the tone that he said this early, I

564
00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:54,159
Speaker 19: think it's going to be a wild four years, especially

565
00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:57,480
Speaker 19: for the liberals that are probably shaking in their boots

566
00:27:57,560 --> 00:27:59,280
Speaker 19: right now, especially the illegal immigrants.

567
00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:02,399
Speaker 8: Seeing you know that Donald Trump was not kidding.

568
00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:05,000
Speaker 19: He is doing what he said that he was going

569
00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:06,400
Speaker 19: to do on the campaign trail.

570
00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:11,119
Speaker 3: And Trump has signed well, he signed a number of

571
00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:15,560
Speaker 3: executive orders, but including one to release the JFK, RFK

572
00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:18,880
Speaker 3: and Martin Luther King assassination files.

573
00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:22,159
Speaker 2: What should we expect here, Well.

574
00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:25,360
Speaker 19: You know, there's so many files I saw online that

575
00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:27,679
Speaker 19: even though they gave us ninety nine percent of the

576
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:30,760
Speaker 19: files there's still so much to go through, and that

577
00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:33,000
Speaker 19: the Martin Luther King family didn't want some of the

578
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:35,480
Speaker 19: information to come out because if you look at that information,

579
00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:38,080
Speaker 19: there's some weird stuff that Martin Luther King maybe was

580
00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:38,680
Speaker 19: doing some.

581
00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:40,280
Speaker 8: Weird nefarious stuff.

582
00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:41,840
Speaker 19: Now I think we're going to find out that a

583
00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:43,800
Speaker 19: lot of people in America were doing nefarious stuff, and

584
00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:45,880
Speaker 19: that's why they didn't want all this information to get out.

585
00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:48,040
Speaker 8: But luckily, Donald Trump.

586
00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:50,720
Speaker 19: In his four years when he was president got railroaded

587
00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:51,680
Speaker 19: the whole entire time.

588
00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:54,440
Speaker 8: So he's a waste one minute.

589
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:57,400
Speaker 19: Not accomplishing all the goals in tasks that he set

590
00:28:57,440 --> 00:28:59,720
Speaker 19: forth during his campaign. So this is just another indication

591
00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:03,120
Speaker 19: that he's going to give us governmental transparency that everybody

592
00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:06,200
Speaker 19: in America is craving. So, you know, God bless America

593
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:08,080
Speaker 19: and God bless the future when it comes to Donald

594
00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:08,960
Speaker 19: Trump as president.

595
00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:13,920
Speaker 3: And he's definitely a lot more organized this time around.

596
00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:17,280
Speaker 3: There were parts of his last term in presidency they

597
00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:20,400
Speaker 3: were a bit chaotic. This time here he seems to

598
00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:22,040
Speaker 3: have thought things very much better.

599
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:26,880
Speaker 19: Well, yeah, I mean, I think now looking back, it

600
00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:29,640
Speaker 19: was terrible that he didn't win in twenty twenty, but really,

601
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:31,880
Speaker 19: this is probably the best thing that could have happened,

602
00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:34,160
Speaker 19: because if it was the other way around and that

603
00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:36,720
Speaker 19: he won, now he would be out of office right

604
00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:38,520
Speaker 19: now and they would be opening up the border, so

605
00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:42,160
Speaker 19: a total opposite situation potentially than what we're having now.

606
00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:44,400
Speaker 19: So it was actually a blessing that he lost. Everybody

607
00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:46,360
Speaker 19: got to see how the country was doing under the

608
00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:49,360
Speaker 19: Biden regime and the Kamala Harris regime. So now they're

609
00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:52,160
Speaker 19: going to appreciate Donald Trump that much more. And I'm

610
00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:54,120
Speaker 19: ready for our gas prices to go down. I know

611
00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:54,840
Speaker 19: that's next.

612
00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:55,960
Speaker 8: So just wait.

613
00:29:56,320 --> 00:29:58,200
Speaker 19: The cost of living is going to go down for

614
00:29:58,240 --> 00:29:59,680
Speaker 19: your average American very soon.

615
00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:05,240
Speaker 3: Well, a lot of people have obviously been very welcoming

616
00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:08,000
Speaker 3: of a Trump return. But in the wake of that

617
00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:11,600
Speaker 3: return and his visit to California, and obviously those wildfire

618
00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:15,240
Speaker 3: fires in Los Angeles continue to rage, but there are

619
00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:19,680
Speaker 3: moves a foot in California for California to secede from

620
00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:23,480
Speaker 3: the United States. Now what's the process here and does

621
00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:24,760
Speaker 3: it have a snowballs chance?

622
00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:28,360
Speaker 19: Well, you know, I'm in Dallas, Texas, and a lot

623
00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:31,520
Speaker 19: of Texans want to text it. They want us to secede.

624
00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:34,000
Speaker 19: From America and now the Donald Trump's in power. I

625
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:36,920
Speaker 19: don't agree with that, But if California was to go California,

626
00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:38,920
Speaker 19: see it later. I mean, they're doing all kinds of

627
00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:41,880
Speaker 19: weird gender assignment surgeon for kids. They let biological males

628
00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:44,680
Speaker 19: compete against biological females all because they put on a

629
00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:47,400
Speaker 19: dress for a few periods during class. So, you know,

630
00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:50,880
Speaker 19: California has gone so crazy and they're so woke that

631
00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:55,160
Speaker 19: at this point, let them have their little crazy euphoria

632
00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:57,479
Speaker 19: where nothing works and everything gets burned down and they

633
00:30:57,520 --> 00:30:58,920
Speaker 19: can't even you know, fill.

634
00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:00,760
Speaker 8: Up their water reserves stop of fire.

635
00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:03,560
Speaker 19: So go ahead, if California wants to become his own country,

636
00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:07,520
Speaker 19: I'll just let them basically destroy themselves from the inside out.

637
00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:12,160
Speaker 2: Is there anything you missed though? If California goes.

638
00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:15,480
Speaker 19: Well, of course, I mean California is a beautiful state.

639
00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:18,360
Speaker 19: Don't get me wrong. California is an epic place. It

640
00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:21,160
Speaker 19: used to be kind of the pinnacle of cool. Everybody

641
00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:23,320
Speaker 19: used to like Hollywood until we realize that they're all

642
00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:25,560
Speaker 19: best friends with Jeffrey Epstein and they're all best friends

643
00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:28,560
Speaker 19: with Harvey Weinstein, and that Hollywood has lost a lot

644
00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:30,080
Speaker 19: of it's luster that it once had.

645
00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:33,360
Speaker 8: So California was once a great state. But I mean,

646
00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:34,600
Speaker 8: just look at it burning down.

647
00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:36,440
Speaker 19: San Francisco, one of the most beautiful cities in the

648
00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:39,280
Speaker 19: world's covered in you know, human excrement.

649
00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:41,360
Speaker 8: I mean, so this is not a joke. This is

650
00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:42,120
Speaker 8: a serious thing.

651
00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:44,480
Speaker 19: That fire hydrants don't have water to put out fire.

652
00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:48,640
Speaker 19: So California did this to themselves, and until they make

653
00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:51,000
Speaker 19: some major changes, it's only gonna keep heading in the

654
00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:51,640
Speaker 19: wrong direction.

655
00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:56,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, it has got that failed state whiff to it,

656
00:31:56,360 --> 00:31:56,880
Speaker 3: doesn't it.

657
00:31:57,360 --> 00:31:58,560
Speaker 2: Now under the Biden.

658
00:31:58,280 --> 00:32:02,280
Speaker 3: Administration, they were to substantially increase the number of agents

659
00:32:02,360 --> 00:32:06,120
Speaker 3: working for the IRS. Now, I understand the breaks have

660
00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:09,720
Speaker 3: gone on, but what's Trump's plan for these new hires.

661
00:32:11,560 --> 00:32:13,480
Speaker 8: He needs to get them the heck out of here.

662
00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:14,480
Speaker 8: We don't need any.

663
00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:17,880
Speaker 19: More IRS agents IRS. Nobody likes the IRS. Just the

664
00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:20,360
Speaker 19: fact that the Biden administration hired that many, enough to

665
00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:22,720
Speaker 19: fill up a football stadium shows you that the Biden

666
00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:25,680
Speaker 19: administration does not care about American citizens and we get

667
00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:29,000
Speaker 19: taxed out the wazoo. So I think Donald Trump realizes

668
00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:32,160
Speaker 19: that these people have jobs. He you know, the previous

669
00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:35,640
Speaker 19: administration gave them some sort of you know, promise that

670
00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:37,680
Speaker 19: they're going to hire them. But I don't care about

671
00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:40,040
Speaker 19: any of that. Donald Trump needs a fire every single

672
00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:42,880
Speaker 19: one of them. We need less irs agents, not more

673
00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:45,720
Speaker 19: to help in our quality of life here.

674
00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:51,080
Speaker 3: Well, and that would definitely fit in, very tidally with

675
00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:53,840
Speaker 3: having a smaller government, which is something that he has

676
00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:57,080
Speaker 3: absolutely been championing. Now, when I woke up this morning

677
00:32:57,160 --> 00:33:01,720
Speaker 3: here in Perth, Western Australia, I saw these rather eventful

678
00:33:01,760 --> 00:33:05,680
Speaker 3: exchange between the US and Colombia over the repatriation of

679
00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:09,400
Speaker 3: illegal immigrants. What's happened and what's the latest on that?

680
00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:10,320
Speaker 2: Where do things stand?

681
00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:15,120
Speaker 8: Well, you saw the about facing the Colombian president. It's

682
00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:15,680
Speaker 8: so great.

683
00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:18,840
Speaker 19: Gustavo buckled under the pressure of Donald Trump.

684
00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:20,200
Speaker 8: Just saying that he was going to raise terrorists.

685
00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:22,520
Speaker 19: And what's so good about this is that we don't

686
00:33:22,520 --> 00:33:25,080
Speaker 19: have to go to war with these foreign countries. All

687
00:33:25,120 --> 00:33:27,200
Speaker 19: we can all we need to do is just put

688
00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:30,800
Speaker 19: rules and regulations and tax them and then we can

689
00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:33,400
Speaker 19: actually solve these problems. You look at all the money

690
00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:36,520
Speaker 19: that's wasted in the Ukraine right now fighting that proxy

691
00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:39,120
Speaker 19: war just all over the world. We can come to

692
00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:43,160
Speaker 19: an agreement through negotiation and solve these problems. And you

693
00:33:43,240 --> 00:33:46,200
Speaker 19: saw with Columbia that's a perfect example of what Donald

694
00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:48,680
Speaker 19: Trump's going to do going forward. When other countries want

695
00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:51,040
Speaker 19: to send us all their criminals, want to empty their jails,

696
00:33:51,040 --> 00:33:53,000
Speaker 19: and when we try to bring them back to their country,

697
00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:55,479
Speaker 19: they better accept them or else they're going to be

698
00:33:55,800 --> 00:33:58,640
Speaker 19: there's going to be serious consequences when it comes to

699
00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:00,640
Speaker 19: our geopolitical.

700
00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:04,880
Speaker 3: And what has been the reaction from some of those

701
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:10,520
Speaker 3: other countries in relation to the repatriation of illegal immigrants.

702
00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:15,440
Speaker 8: Well, I mean, I think Mexico and you saw Columbia.

703
00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:17,800
Speaker 19: At first they're a little hesitant, but now they're realizing

704
00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:19,879
Speaker 19: that Donald Trump is not joking around and that they

705
00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:22,359
Speaker 19: have to play ball with this new administration.

706
00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:25,520
Speaker 8: So, you know, they might not like it. They might

707
00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:26,280
Speaker 8: not want.

708
00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:28,640
Speaker 19: A bunch of criminals coming back to their country that

709
00:34:28,680 --> 00:34:31,279
Speaker 19: they excommunicated, but we don't want.

710
00:34:31,200 --> 00:34:32,000
Speaker 8: Them here in America.

711
00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:34,319
Speaker 19: And it's not and Donald Trump says it clearly, he's

712
00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:36,920
Speaker 19: not anti immigration. We just need to vet the people

713
00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:40,239
Speaker 19: that come into our country, and we're not doing that.

714
00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:41,319
Speaker 8: We're letting in people that.

715
00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:44,719
Speaker 19: Have serious criminal history, have done serious crimes, and that

716
00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:47,400
Speaker 19: needs to be fixed, and under Donald Trump, these other countries,

717
00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:49,840
Speaker 19: they're going to realize that America is not playing around

718
00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:53,759
Speaker 19: when it comes to immigration happening and asylum happening. When

719
00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:55,840
Speaker 19: you're a criminal, you're not going to be welcome in

720
00:34:55,880 --> 00:34:57,440
Speaker 19: the United States any longer.

721
00:34:57,880 --> 00:34:59,959
Speaker 8: And it's a beautiful sight to see.

722
00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:03,319
Speaker 3: Now, Alexi, it came as no surprise to me, and

723
00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:06,560
Speaker 3: I imagine it came as no surprise to you that

724
00:35:06,600 --> 00:35:11,600
Speaker 3: the CIA has concluded that COVID nineteen likely originated from

725
00:35:11,680 --> 00:35:14,759
Speaker 3: a China lab lake. Now, there are some people who

726
00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:18,160
Speaker 3: should frankly be ashamed of themselves, and others who were

727
00:35:18,160 --> 00:35:22,800
Speaker 3: no doubt going through their receipts. It's just another example

728
00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:26,960
Speaker 3: of the level of rampant stupidity and censorship during COVID,

729
00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:27,360
Speaker 3: isn't it?

730
00:35:29,120 --> 00:35:30,200
Speaker 8: Are you kidding me?

731
00:35:30,320 --> 00:35:32,680
Speaker 19: And I know you're being sarcastic when you asked me,

732
00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:34,920
Speaker 19: but this is what makes me so sick about this

733
00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:37,600
Speaker 19: whole entire thing, is that they knew that this was

734
00:35:37,640 --> 00:35:41,640
Speaker 19: a virus that got leaked in China, and that we

735
00:35:41,719 --> 00:35:44,799
Speaker 19: have had histories of sarros pneumonia, There's been lots of

736
00:35:44,840 --> 00:35:48,960
Speaker 19: respiratory illnesses. But because they wanted to push out the vaccine,

737
00:35:49,040 --> 00:35:51,720
Speaker 19: and it makes me sick. All the people, the people

738
00:35:51,760 --> 00:35:54,360
Speaker 19: that I lost, the people that I love, that weren't

739
00:35:54,360 --> 00:35:56,640
Speaker 19: able to get proper care because they said that the

740
00:35:56,640 --> 00:35:59,000
Speaker 19: only remedy was a vaccine, and the only way to

741
00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:01,360
Speaker 19: get a vaccine without one long term testing was to

742
00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:04,840
Speaker 19: get it through an emergency use authorization, and you're only

743
00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:07,360
Speaker 19: able to get that authorization if there's no other remedies.

744
00:36:07,400 --> 00:36:09,759
Speaker 19: So they lied about the origins of the virus, they

745
00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:13,000
Speaker 19: lied about fixing the virus, they lied about every single

746
00:36:13,160 --> 00:36:16,120
Speaker 19: aspect of COVID nineteen, and they ruined a lot of

747
00:36:16,120 --> 00:36:19,000
Speaker 19: people's lives. So these people should be held accountable. And

748
00:36:19,080 --> 00:36:22,160
Speaker 19: I hope not trying to, you know, cheerlead for Putin,

749
00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:24,920
Speaker 19: but I would love for doctor Fauci to get extradited

750
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:28,439
Speaker 19: to Russia and face a real trial because what they

751
00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:31,760
Speaker 19: did to American people by not giving us any other

752
00:36:32,320 --> 00:36:35,799
Speaker 19: remedies for pneumonia or the flu, it costs a lot

753
00:36:35,800 --> 00:36:38,280
Speaker 19: of people and a lot of loved ones their lives,

754
00:36:38,440 --> 00:36:39,560
Speaker 19: and it just makes me sick.

755
00:36:41,880 --> 00:36:44,319
Speaker 3: And there were a lot of us during COVID who

756
00:36:44,360 --> 00:36:49,840
Speaker 3: asked questions that those questions obviously were not appreciated but

757
00:36:50,280 --> 00:36:52,239
Speaker 3: I do wonder, and I'd be interested in your view

758
00:36:52,280 --> 00:36:55,319
Speaker 3: on this, if there was to be something similar which

759
00:36:55,360 --> 00:36:58,400
Speaker 3: happened again, do you think, having.

760
00:36:58,200 --> 00:37:00,200
Speaker 2: Gone through the experience we've all gone.

761
00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:03,600
Speaker 3: On through, the same thing would occur or do you

762
00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:05,760
Speaker 3: think people would be more likely to push back?

763
00:37:07,440 --> 00:37:10,400
Speaker 19: Well, of course I think people would realize the first

764
00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:14,080
Speaker 19: time shutting down during the pandemic was not the best

765
00:37:14,440 --> 00:37:17,279
Speaker 19: choice for our country. And yes, if this happens again,

766
00:37:17,360 --> 00:37:19,799
Speaker 19: which I'm sure it will, because there are viruses.

767
00:37:19,840 --> 00:37:22,480
Speaker 8: You know, we've had this before. Like I said, SARS.

768
00:37:22,160 --> 00:37:24,839
Speaker 19: Didn't just come around in twenty twenty, We've had other

769
00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:28,520
Speaker 19: issues with sudn or cute respiratory syndrome. I mean, so, yes,

770
00:37:28,560 --> 00:37:30,480
Speaker 19: it's going to happen again, And the next time it happens,

771
00:37:30,480 --> 00:37:32,279
Speaker 19: they're not going to be able to bamboozle the people.

772
00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:34,040
Speaker 8: They will be able to shut stuff down.

773
00:37:34,120 --> 00:37:36,560
Speaker 19: They will be able to give people vaccines again, for sure,

774
00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:39,040
Speaker 19: but we're going to be a lot more cognizant and

775
00:37:39,239 --> 00:37:43,080
Speaker 19: ask the appropriate questions and hopefully get the appropriate answers

776
00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:45,760
Speaker 19: and not let the same thing happen. I just really

777
00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:48,000
Speaker 19: really find it hard to believe that they could do

778
00:37:48,040 --> 00:37:49,800
Speaker 19: this to the extent that they did at the first

779
00:37:49,800 --> 00:37:50,680
Speaker 19: time ever again.

780
00:37:50,719 --> 00:37:51,600
Speaker 8: But will they do it again?

781
00:37:51,640 --> 00:37:55,160
Speaker 19: Will there be other pandemics and you know, viral issues, Yes,

782
00:37:55,360 --> 00:37:57,480
Speaker 19: but a lot of people woke up from this first one.

783
00:37:59,640 --> 00:38:04,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, because definitely here in Australia, you know, for the

784
00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:07,719
Speaker 3: country that's renowned for its Alaricans. Oh my god, will

785
00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:11,040
Speaker 3: be very very compliant and frankly it's a bit terrifying.

786
00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:11,799
Speaker 5: Now.

787
00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:15,520
Speaker 3: Lastly, there have been calls for Trump's face to be included.

788
00:38:15,080 --> 00:38:18,600
Speaker 2: On Mount Rushmore. Should it happen or shouldn't we just

789
00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:20,120
Speaker 2: wait and see first?

790
00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:22,399
Speaker 8: No, it needs to happen.

791
00:38:22,440 --> 00:38:24,239
Speaker 19: They need to put them one hundred dollars bill, They

792
00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:28,520
Speaker 19: need to pump Trump up. And honestly, you know, I

793
00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:30,680
Speaker 19: know this is kind of a comical thing to put

794
00:38:30,719 --> 00:38:35,080
Speaker 19: them on Mount Rushmore, but honestly, I wouldn't I would

795
00:38:35,120 --> 00:38:37,440
Speaker 19: love it. I wouldn't disapprove of it. I would approve

796
00:38:37,440 --> 00:38:39,759
Speaker 19: of it wholeheartedly. Are they going to actually do it?

797
00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:41,879
Speaker 8: I don't know. But Donald Trump.

798
00:38:41,640 --> 00:38:45,160
Speaker 19: Deserves, especially after this four years, to be treated like

799
00:38:45,239 --> 00:38:46,799
Speaker 19: the legend that he is.

800
00:38:46,880 --> 00:38:49,000
Speaker 8: And in my opinion, I think he won three elections,

801
00:38:49,040 --> 00:38:49,759
Speaker 8: not just two.

802
00:38:49,920 --> 00:38:51,560
Speaker 19: I don't really believe a lot of the mail in

803
00:38:51,600 --> 00:38:53,880
Speaker 19: ballots when it came into the twenty twenty elections. So

804
00:38:54,600 --> 00:38:56,960
Speaker 19: he's one of the only presidents in my opinion, to

805
00:38:57,040 --> 00:38:59,560
Speaker 19: win three elections. So he deserves to be on Mount

806
00:38:59,640 --> 00:39:01,360
Speaker 19: Rushmore just because of that factor.

807
00:39:04,239 --> 00:39:06,799
Speaker 2: Thank you so much for your time, Alex Stein. What

808
00:39:06,920 --> 00:39:08,480
Speaker 2: a way to end. Now still to.

809
00:39:08,440 --> 00:39:12,839
Speaker 3: Come, Kinsey Schofield joins me. We detail about Meghan Michael's.

810
00:39:12,520 --> 00:39:25,200
Speaker 2: Alleged divorce book. You don't want to miss that. Welcome

811
00:39:25,239 --> 00:39:25,839
Speaker 2: back to the show.

812
00:39:25,960 --> 00:39:30,440
Speaker 3: Joining me now is celebrity and royal reporter Kinsey Schofield. Kinsey,

813
00:39:30,560 --> 00:39:34,640
Speaker 3: the Vanity Fair piece on the Sussexes was absolutely brutal.

814
00:39:35,280 --> 00:39:38,080
Speaker 3: What's the latest on Meghan's alleged post of horse book?

815
00:39:39,120 --> 00:39:40,080
Speaker 2: Absolutely well.

816
00:39:40,200 --> 00:39:44,000
Speaker 11: A Peach six spoke to a source that revealed even

817
00:39:44,120 --> 00:39:47,360
Speaker 11: if Harry and Meghan wanted to split, they couldn't. The

818
00:39:47,440 --> 00:39:50,840
Speaker 11: source said, they are just two narcissists that are worth

819
00:39:51,200 --> 00:39:55,480
Speaker 11: more together that benefit, you know, with the brand that

820
00:39:55,520 --> 00:39:57,879
Speaker 11: they built. But what's buried with.

821
00:39:58,040 --> 00:39:59,600
Speaker 2: And I know you're going to think this this is

822
00:39:59,600 --> 00:40:00,520
Speaker 2: actually really interesting.

823
00:40:00,600 --> 00:40:03,439
Speaker 11: What's actually buried within this article is this is a

824
00:40:03,480 --> 00:40:07,759
Speaker 11: publishing contact of page six is that reveals that that

825
00:40:07,880 --> 00:40:11,759
Speaker 11: original twenty million dollar Penguin Random House book deal that

826
00:40:11,800 --> 00:40:14,920
Speaker 11: the sussex Is signed back in twenty twenty one seems

827
00:40:14,960 --> 00:40:20,320
Speaker 11: to have quietly dissipated. So is this another spotify where

828
00:40:20,360 --> 00:40:23,520
Speaker 11: a huge corporation in the States is turning their back

829
00:40:23,560 --> 00:40:27,200
Speaker 11: on the Sussexes because their work ethic is weak, the

830
00:40:27,320 --> 00:40:30,880
Speaker 11: return on investments not there, they are difficult to collaborate with.

831
00:40:31,239 --> 00:40:34,120
Speaker 11: I think we were all waiting for the Netflix ball

832
00:40:34,200 --> 00:40:37,240
Speaker 11: to drop, but it looks like the Penguin Random House

833
00:40:37,280 --> 00:40:40,600
Speaker 11: ball actually might be the next to drop, and that

834
00:40:40,640 --> 00:40:45,120
Speaker 11: would be another embarrassing situation for the Sussexes.

835
00:40:47,600 --> 00:40:50,640
Speaker 2: But Kinsey, where to now? Honestly? I mean, we have

836
00:40:50,800 --> 00:40:53,360
Speaker 2: just watched tryin Reck after try and Wreck. They have

837
00:40:53,520 --> 00:40:54,160
Speaker 2: to do something.

838
00:40:54,280 --> 00:40:57,400
Speaker 3: They have to earn money a project, so one of

839
00:40:57,400 --> 00:41:00,160
Speaker 3: the projects has to go from beginning to end.

840
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:00,840
Speaker 2: And what do they do?

841
00:41:02,800 --> 00:41:03,040
Speaker 12: Well?

842
00:41:03,120 --> 00:41:06,759
Speaker 11: My Meghan Markle is like praying to God that her

843
00:41:06,800 --> 00:41:10,480
Speaker 11: Netflix show sees the light of day on May fourth,

844
00:41:10,560 --> 00:41:13,080
Speaker 11: first of all, actually sees the light of day, but

845
00:41:13,200 --> 00:41:18,520
Speaker 11: that somebody will be complimentary about it. You are seeing

846
00:41:18,520 --> 00:41:21,440
Speaker 11: this role push and pull between Harry and Meghan when

847
00:41:21,440 --> 00:41:24,720
Speaker 11: it comes to his fight against the media because Meghan

848
00:41:24,760 --> 00:41:27,680
Speaker 11: doesn't hate the media. She's desperate for their love and

849
00:41:28,080 --> 00:41:31,160
Speaker 11: attention and affection because she knows the only way she

850
00:41:31,200 --> 00:41:34,920
Speaker 11: will succeed commercially is if she gets those magazine covers

851
00:41:34,920 --> 00:41:36,760
Speaker 11: and those positive profile pieces.

852
00:41:39,160 --> 00:41:39,440
Speaker 2: Yeah.

853
00:41:39,480 --> 00:41:42,799
Speaker 3: Absolutely, and Trump pretending to the White House. Questions are

854
00:41:42,840 --> 00:41:46,799
Speaker 3: being raised again about Harry's admission to elicit drug use.

855
00:41:46,840 --> 00:41:47,680
Speaker 2: Where's this going?

856
00:41:48,920 --> 00:41:51,480
Speaker 11: I mean, yeah, that's right, this is the Heritage Foundation.

857
00:41:51,560 --> 00:41:53,240
Speaker 11: You and I've discussed this before.

858
00:41:53,360 --> 00:41:53,520
Speaker 8: Now.

859
00:41:53,640 --> 00:41:57,239
Speaker 11: Gardner recently telling the Daily Beast that he will personally

860
00:41:57,360 --> 00:42:00,719
Speaker 11: urge Donald Trump to deport Prince Harry. It's shown that

861
00:42:00,800 --> 00:42:04,840
Speaker 11: he lied on his immigration application. But the associate editor

862
00:42:04,840 --> 00:42:08,560
Speaker 11: of The Daily Telegraph, Kimilla Tomini, is asking if Prince

863
00:42:08,560 --> 00:42:12,319
Speaker 11: Harry settled with Newsgroup newspapers because he didn't want to

864
00:42:12,400 --> 00:42:16,359
Speaker 11: rattle the cage of President Trump. She makes some very

865
00:42:16,400 --> 00:42:20,520
Speaker 11: clear and vario astute arguments that perhaps Prince Harry settled

866
00:42:20,800 --> 00:42:22,640
Speaker 11: and didn't want to get on a plane to the

867
00:42:22,760 --> 00:42:26,239
Speaker 11: UK because it's way too easy at this point for

868
00:42:26,320 --> 00:42:29,320
Speaker 11: Donald Trump to not let him back into the country,

869
00:42:29,800 --> 00:42:32,920
Speaker 11: And a lot of people reading that article saying, wait,

870
00:42:33,120 --> 00:42:35,560
Speaker 11: maybe she has a point here, because remember Prince Harry

871
00:42:35,560 --> 00:42:38,160
Speaker 11: said he would never settle this case. It was on principle,

872
00:42:38,239 --> 00:42:39,279
Speaker 11: not on finances.

873
00:42:43,120 --> 00:42:44,960
Speaker 3: And the thing we also have to remember is the

874
00:42:45,040 --> 00:42:48,439
Speaker 3: royal family and the new president do have a very

875
00:42:48,440 --> 00:42:51,759
Speaker 3: good relationship. So it would be very interesting to see what,

876
00:42:51,880 --> 00:42:55,720
Speaker 3: if any influence that has on that other issue going forward.

877
00:42:55,800 --> 00:42:55,920
Speaker 18: Now.

878
00:42:56,000 --> 00:43:00,279
Speaker 3: During the inauguration, Kim Kardashian posted a photo of Milania Trump, who,

879
00:43:00,360 --> 00:43:05,239
Speaker 3: on any measure, looked absolutely stunning. Apparently, Kim went on

880
00:43:05,280 --> 00:43:09,720
Speaker 3: to lose one hundred and fifty thousand followers. So many

881
00:43:09,760 --> 00:43:12,759
Speaker 3: words to describe this, Kinsey, But what are your thoughts?

882
00:43:13,640 --> 00:43:18,480
Speaker 11: My thoughts are Everyone knows that Kim Kardashian is promiscuous politically.

883
00:43:18,880 --> 00:43:21,960
Speaker 11: You know, she attended a Hillary Clinton fundraiser in August

884
00:43:21,960 --> 00:43:25,040
Speaker 11: of twenty fifteen, but later was eager to work with

885
00:43:25,160 --> 00:43:28,440
Speaker 11: President Trump on prison reform. She worked with Kamala in

886
00:43:28,480 --> 00:43:31,360
Speaker 11: April twenty twenty four. But we've seen her out socially

887
00:43:31,440 --> 00:43:34,799
Speaker 11: with Ivanka Trump. You know, if you are familiar with

888
00:43:34,880 --> 00:43:38,399
Speaker 11: Kim Kardashian, you know that she's kind of everywhere.

889
00:43:38,480 --> 00:43:40,800
Speaker 2: And I don't think it was a political statement.

890
00:43:41,480 --> 00:43:43,960
Speaker 11: I think we'll see her dress as Malania Trump one

891
00:43:44,040 --> 00:43:46,400
Speaker 11: day in a similar fashion to the way she dressed

892
00:43:46,440 --> 00:43:49,120
Speaker 11: as Maryland. So I think it was just, hey, she

893
00:43:49,239 --> 00:43:51,960
Speaker 11: looks great, and it wasn't a political statement.

894
00:43:54,239 --> 00:43:56,960
Speaker 3: No, might not necessarily be a political statement. But it

895
00:43:56,960 --> 00:44:00,120
Speaker 3: also says something about her followers, doesn't it.

896
00:44:00,920 --> 00:44:04,680
Speaker 11: Yeah, but we've all seen people that are glued to

897
00:44:04,760 --> 00:44:06,280
Speaker 11: keeping up with the Kardashians.

898
00:44:06,480 --> 00:44:08,640
Speaker 2: You know, we know, we know.

899
00:44:11,440 --> 00:44:14,400
Speaker 3: Now the singer Joe she performed for RFKS Mike and

900
00:44:15,080 --> 00:44:21,000
Speaker 3: America Healthy Again Bo. She has since apologized how savage.

901
00:44:20,680 --> 00:44:23,640
Speaker 2: Was the backlash? I mean it was.

902
00:44:24,000 --> 00:44:28,360
Speaker 11: She apologized because she felt like she caused pain, particularly

903
00:44:28,480 --> 00:44:34,080
Speaker 11: to her LGBTQ IA plus fans, who she described as treasures.

904
00:44:34,560 --> 00:44:37,719
Speaker 11: But she also stressed that her commitment to addressing the

905
00:44:37,800 --> 00:44:43,319
Speaker 11: nation's mental health crisis transcends political divides. And this is

906
00:44:43,360 --> 00:44:47,719
Speaker 11: another moment where you sit back and think, surely we

907
00:44:47,800 --> 00:44:52,320
Speaker 11: should all rally around, you know, whatever administration is in charge,

908
00:44:52,600 --> 00:44:56,280
Speaker 11: because the success of our country, the success of that president,

909
00:44:56,440 --> 00:44:59,080
Speaker 11: is our success too. I mean it's the same with

910
00:44:59,160 --> 00:45:01,919
Speaker 11: Kim Kardashian. Everything has become so polarizing.

911
00:45:04,560 --> 00:45:07,520
Speaker 3: Now, speaking of polarizing, and Megan McCain, she's had a

912
00:45:07,520 --> 00:45:09,800
Speaker 3: fair bit to say about a few things this week,

913
00:45:10,320 --> 00:45:15,799
Speaker 3: including fueling rumors about a potential Obama divorce. Now, is

914
00:45:15,800 --> 00:45:19,160
Speaker 3: this just scandalous and there is there anything to these?

915
00:45:20,840 --> 00:45:21,040
Speaker 5: You know?

916
00:45:21,160 --> 00:45:24,120
Speaker 11: I think Megan McCain probably has better contacts than I do,

917
00:45:24,400 --> 00:45:26,520
Speaker 11: and she was on her podcast she said, I have

918
00:45:26,600 --> 00:45:29,319
Speaker 11: been hearing this rumor that the Obamas are getting a

919
00:45:29,360 --> 00:45:33,680
Speaker 11: divorce by reputable people, very serious journalists, telling her that

920
00:45:33,719 --> 00:45:36,200
Speaker 11: they're hearing that the Obama divorce rumors are true.

921
00:45:36,640 --> 00:45:37,920
Speaker 2: I think that.

922
00:45:37,520 --> 00:45:41,040
Speaker 11: That is much more likely than Obama and Jennifer Aniston.

923
00:45:42,200 --> 00:45:45,040
Speaker 11: But yeah, I mean that I am surprised that this

924
00:45:45,200 --> 00:45:49,480
Speaker 11: keeps coming up. Could Michelle Obama just be protesting any

925
00:45:49,520 --> 00:45:53,799
Speaker 11: sort of association with the new administration. Perhaps, but there

926
00:45:53,960 --> 00:45:58,239
Speaker 11: is talk that there is a divorce on the horizon

927
00:45:58,760 --> 00:45:59,880
Speaker 11: around the United States.

928
00:46:02,520 --> 00:46:05,120
Speaker 3: And look, to be honest, being involved in politics, and

929
00:46:05,160 --> 00:46:09,360
Speaker 3: particular at that very senior level must be absolutely exhausting,

930
00:46:09,400 --> 00:46:12,840
Speaker 3: and I'm sure out of over such a long period

931
00:46:12,880 --> 00:46:15,279
Speaker 3: of time, Michelle's probably a little bit over it and

932
00:46:15,320 --> 00:46:16,040
Speaker 3: would rather be.

933
00:46:16,040 --> 00:46:17,839
Speaker 2: Doing other things now.

934
00:46:17,840 --> 00:46:20,200
Speaker 3: One of the big I raising moments during the US

935
00:46:20,280 --> 00:46:24,680
Speaker 3: presidential election campaign was when former Bernie Sanders voter Joe

936
00:46:24,719 --> 00:46:30,000
Speaker 3: Rogan endorsed Trump. Now it's taken up many many column

937
00:46:30,040 --> 00:46:34,200
Speaker 3: inches since, but a piece in Newsweek asks whether Rogan

938
00:46:34,280 --> 00:46:35,920
Speaker 3: is a Republican or a Democrat.

939
00:46:36,040 --> 00:46:38,000
Speaker 2: What's the answer given and what do you think?

940
00:46:38,920 --> 00:46:42,920
Speaker 11: Yeah, he says, I'm neither. I'm an American. We do

941
00:46:43,000 --> 00:46:45,040
Speaker 11: know that he was a Democrat. He talks a lot

942
00:46:45,080 --> 00:46:47,680
Speaker 11: about how he was a Democrat that's kind of evolved.

943
00:46:48,600 --> 00:46:51,800
Speaker 11: But he says he doesn't really feel strongly towards either

944
00:46:52,040 --> 00:46:55,520
Speaker 11: of our political systems currently. He just wanted a strong

945
00:46:55,600 --> 00:46:59,640
Speaker 11: leader in the White House, somebody that had the courage

946
00:46:59,680 --> 00:47:01,840
Speaker 11: to go had to head with him because he invaded

947
00:47:01,880 --> 00:47:05,040
Speaker 11: Kamala on his podcast and he was turned down. So,

948
00:47:05,239 --> 00:47:08,360
Speaker 11: I you know, he just says, like, I support our country.

949
00:47:08,480 --> 00:47:12,040
Speaker 11: I don't really identify as a member of either party.

950
00:47:12,120 --> 00:47:14,320
Speaker 2: I just want us to win. And as JD.

951
00:47:14,480 --> 00:47:17,120
Speaker 11: Vans and Trump Trump keep telling us, are you tired

952
00:47:17,160 --> 00:47:19,440
Speaker 11: of winning? They've got plenty more winning to go.

953
00:47:21,719 --> 00:47:23,839
Speaker 3: And I'm sure there's quite a few people in and

954
00:47:23,880 --> 00:47:27,560
Speaker 3: around Hollywood who have similar sentiments, they just haven't come

955
00:47:27,600 --> 00:47:32,520
Speaker 3: out and said them publicly yet. Now Blake Lively and

956
00:47:32,560 --> 00:47:38,480
Speaker 3: the Justin Baldoni saga that continues that there has been absolutely.

957
00:47:37,960 --> 00:47:38,960
Speaker 2: Extraordinary to watch.

958
00:47:38,960 --> 00:47:42,280
Speaker 3: But separate allegations this week about a stolen script.

959
00:47:42,480 --> 00:47:45,480
Speaker 2: What has happened? Oh my gosh, can you believe this?

960
00:47:45,600 --> 00:47:45,719
Speaker 8: So?

961
00:47:45,840 --> 00:47:50,000
Speaker 11: Brian Friedman, the man currently representing Justin Baldoni in his

962
00:47:50,120 --> 00:47:54,600
Speaker 11: legal battle against Blake, filed a lawsuit back in twenty

963
00:47:54,680 --> 00:47:57,600
Speaker 11: twenty one on behalf of a man named Travis Flores,

964
00:47:58,080 --> 00:48:00,799
Speaker 11: claiming that Flores wrote a script from a movie called

965
00:48:00,880 --> 00:48:04,200
Speaker 11: Three Feet Distance based on his own life, and Baldoni,

966
00:48:04,239 --> 00:48:08,880
Speaker 11: who was working with Flores, stole this concept and created

967
00:48:08,880 --> 00:48:13,640
Speaker 11: a move a very celebrated movie out of it. So basically,

968
00:48:13,760 --> 00:48:16,839
Speaker 11: Justin Baldoni's current attorney at one point sued him.

969
00:48:17,080 --> 00:48:18,480
Speaker 2: Justin settled that case.

970
00:48:18,880 --> 00:48:22,360
Speaker 11: But Justin Baldoni's attorney knew exactly who he was working

971
00:48:22,400 --> 00:48:26,080
Speaker 11: with when he accepted this case against Justin and Blake.

972
00:48:26,719 --> 00:48:28,680
Speaker 11: So I think that Justin is a bit more of

973
00:48:28,680 --> 00:48:30,200
Speaker 11: a fighter than we were aware of.

974
00:48:32,320 --> 00:48:35,080
Speaker 3: Well, I guess the saga will continue, and no doubt

975
00:48:35,200 --> 00:48:37,560
Speaker 3: it will continue to be as eventful as it has been.

976
00:48:37,760 --> 00:48:40,680
Speaker 3: Thank you so much, Kinsey Schofield. And that's it from

977
00:48:40,760 --> 00:48:42,879
Speaker 3: May up next his news not good night
