People in general, I'm tired 16 00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:57,280 Speaker 5: of your mother, I'm tired of your incompetence, I'm tired 17 00:00:57,280 --> 00:00:58,240 Speaker 5: of your laziness. 18 00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:02,880 Speaker 4: But first, let's start with the coalitions Net zero infighting. 19 00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:06,080 Speaker 4: Let's bring in Daily Telegraph journalists James Willis. 20 00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:08,240 Speaker 3: James, you've reported today that the. 21 00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:13,920 Speaker 4: Coalition won't be announcing a new position anytime soon. Why 22 00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:18,080 Speaker 4: Why is the party leadership resisting calls from an increasing 23 00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:21,600 Speaker 4: number of MPs to abandon net zero. 24 00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:25,240 Speaker 6: Well, ready, they've got a problem because the reality is 25 00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:28,880 Speaker 6: that inside the party room, particularly the Liberal party room, 26 00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:31,800 Speaker 6: there are a lot of people that think dumping net 27 00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:36,640 Speaker 6: zero would be political suicide. They've obviously got the business 28 00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:40,000 Speaker 6: community now and a lot of ASX companies that have 29 00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:44,199 Speaker 6: climate change policies and are determined to have their own 30 00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:46,360 Speaker 6: carbon neutral footprints and all that sort of thing, so 31 00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:49,040 Speaker 6: they don't want to be annoying part of their sector. 32 00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:53,280 Speaker 6: And you've got this sort of internal struggle where the 33 00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:56,360 Speaker 6: moderates of the Liberal Party insists that the only way 34 00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:59,720 Speaker 6: to win back government is to have a similar climate 35 00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:03,000 Speaker 6: to what labor has and to what the deals have, 36 00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:07,280 Speaker 6: and to be overwhelmingly in favor of, you know, mass 37 00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:09,520 Speaker 6: cuts to emissions and all that sort of thing. You've 38 00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:11,320 Speaker 6: got others that say, well, I'm sorry, but in two 39 00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:15,280 Speaker 6: straight elections, after backing net zero in twenty twenty, after 40 00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:17,200 Speaker 6: going to with the net zero policy to the twenty 41 00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:20,280 Speaker 6: twenty two election, and this year that net zero hasn't 42 00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:23,239 Speaker 6: served us. We've lost dozens of seats and it's now 43 00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:26,240 Speaker 6: time for a logical point of difference. So you've got 44 00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:28,960 Speaker 6: a lot of warring tribes there, and I think Dan 45 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:32,040 Speaker 6: Te and the shadow Energy Minister, and indeed Susan Lee 46 00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:35,280 Speaker 6: are going to hear from everyone understand the role of gas, 47 00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:38,520 Speaker 6: understand the role of nuclear power, and figure out what 48 00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:41,000 Speaker 6: is their point of difference. But for the time being 49 00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:43,640 Speaker 6: is going to be infighting for I think weeks to 50 00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:46,720 Speaker 6: come in more MPs that have their own stance, which 51 00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:48,880 Speaker 6: will be at odds with what they're trying to do. 52 00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:49,880 Speaker 3: Well. 53 00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:54,400 Speaker 4: Their primary vote is at record lows, the lowest since 54 00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:59,200 Speaker 4: newspol measured primary votes. I'm sure that for further if 55 00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:00,880 Speaker 4: this is the road they got to go down, If 56 00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:04,280 Speaker 4: they don't know where they stand on such a critical issue, 57 00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:08,200 Speaker 4: if they can't differentiate from labor, what hope do they 58 00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:11,000 Speaker 4: have of being elected, particularly during a cost of living 59 00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:16,280 Speaker 4: crisis where energy costs soaring? James, could this see a 60 00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:20,560 Speaker 4: split with the Nationals down the line, because again the 61 00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:24,520 Speaker 4: National Party has also got this in fighting happening. And 62 00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:28,280 Speaker 4: if I was a betting woman, I would bet that 63 00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:30,280 Speaker 4: they will abandon net zero before. 64 00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:30,519 Speaker 3: The Libers do. 65 00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:35,320 Speaker 6: Yeah, I think that's a really interesting point and to 66 00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:39,320 Speaker 6: be honest, both leaders are on very very shaky ground 67 00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:43,760 Speaker 6: because you have to remember Giselle Capterian is no longer 68 00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:46,400 Speaker 6: in parliament. She lost the seat of Bradfield in Sydney. 69 00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:49,480 Speaker 6: So Susan Lee is on a wayfer Finn margin. When 70 00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:53,880 Speaker 6: you work backwards from the last leadership challenge against Angus Taylor, 71 00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:56,920 Speaker 6: David Little Proud isn't all that solid either, and Barnaby 72 00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,080 Speaker 6: Joyce has obviously not going to take part in the 73 00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:02,920 Speaker 6: Nationals partyom many more, David Little Proud is under enormous 74 00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:05,920 Speaker 6: pressure to decide what to do with net zero, But 75 00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:08,120 Speaker 6: I'm with you. I think they've got to have a 76 00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:10,360 Speaker 6: point of difference and they've got to be able to 77 00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:14,920 Speaker 6: argue the economics that surrounds our position towards twenty fifty. 78 00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:17,479 Speaker 6: I think people are convinced that if you don't back 79 00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:20,080 Speaker 6: net zero, you don't believe in climate change, and that's 80 00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:22,800 Speaker 6: not the case. You can argue the cost, you can 81 00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:26,240 Speaker 6: argue Australia's contribution, and you can argue how much damage 82 00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:28,480 Speaker 6: we should be doing to our economy and our farming 83 00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:31,000 Speaker 6: land to get there. And there is a huge bit 84 00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:34,120 Speaker 6: of ammunition there that they should be throwing at Labor instead. 85 00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:37,160 Speaker 6: They're timid and they've really got no idea what they're doing, 86 00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:39,560 Speaker 6: and they need to find that point of difference urgently 87 00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:42,520 Speaker 6: so they can start selling that message to the electric 88 00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:45,680 Speaker 6: The problem with nuclear is they really by the time 89 00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:48,960 Speaker 6: they announce their policy with nuclear, the other side had 90 00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:52,880 Speaker 6: been talking about costs, talking about the impact to government 91 00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:56,000 Speaker 6: services and talking about you know that the scare campaign 92 00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:58,120 Speaker 6: was in place. They've got to start arguing their point 93 00:04:58,160 --> 00:04:59,680 Speaker 6: of difference now, I think by the end of the 94 00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:02,719 Speaker 6: year to have any chance of forming government by the 95 00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:04,360 Speaker 6: next election, but I think it's a mile off. 96 00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:05,960 Speaker 3: In fairness, oh. 97 00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:08,680 Speaker 4: It's a mile off, and they have to do the work. 98 00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:11,280 Speaker 4: They can't wait a few months before the next election 99 00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:13,159 Speaker 4: to state a policy position. 100 00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:14,920 Speaker 3: It's just not going to work. 101 00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:18,240 Speaker 4: They need to articulate their arguments and explain to the 102 00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:21,719 Speaker 4: Australian people why their way makes sense. 103 00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:23,440 Speaker 3: And they didn't do that with nuclear. 104 00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:26,200 Speaker 4: In fact, they were running scared from nuclear throughout the 105 00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:29,360 Speaker 4: election campaign. Is one of the few points of difference 106 00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:32,479 Speaker 4: between Labor and the Coalition and they barely spoke about it. 107 00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:33,200 Speaker 3: Now. 108 00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:36,640 Speaker 4: You reported last week that the federal opposition has called 109 00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:39,559 Speaker 4: for a review into the two point six billion dollars 110 00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:42,200 Speaker 4: solar farm in South Australia after it was declared a 111 00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:47,560 Speaker 4: national priority and received backing by a Labour's Capacity Investment scheme, 112 00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:52,400 Speaker 4: but it then outsourced work to two companies owned by 113 00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:55,840 Speaker 4: the Chinese government by the Chinese Communist Party. James, what 114 00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:58,960 Speaker 4: more can you tell me about this arrangement and the 115 00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:05,240 Speaker 4: hidden costs of Labour's renewable schemes. The fifty nine secret 116 00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:09,400 Speaker 4: floor and ceiling deals signed with the owners of wind 117 00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:11,440 Speaker 4: solar and battery developments. 118 00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:15,080 Speaker 6: Well, reader, I think this is a scandal because, as 119 00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:20,000 Speaker 6: you say, fifty nine projects, wind solar, battery, the government 120 00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:23,880 Speaker 6: has basically done deals of up to fifteen years with 121 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:27,599 Speaker 6: these developers, the majority, the overwhelming majority of foreign owned, 122 00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:32,720 Speaker 6: and those deals basically allow taxpayers to fund any losses 123 00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:36,039 Speaker 6: below the revenue floor that has agreed to before the 124 00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:39,719 Speaker 6: project is built for quarters up to fifteen years in length. 125 00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:41,960 Speaker 6: Now we have no idea how much all of this 126 00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:44,240 Speaker 6: is going to cost. You start to realize that this 127 00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:47,159 Speaker 6: is the only way really that these projects can be 128 00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:50,880 Speaker 6: built if they are underwritten by taxpayers, and as we know, 129 00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:54,479 Speaker 6: Labor is going aggressively towards a twenty thirty target. They're 130 00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:57,120 Speaker 6: at twenty thirty five target. The only way to do 131 00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:00,360 Speaker 6: that is to build these projects quickly. And it's Gael 132 00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:02,960 Speaker 6: and the impact on farming land. We've heard stories from 133 00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:06,320 Speaker 6: all over regional Australia about the impact on farming land. 134 00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:08,280 Speaker 6: But when you look at the list and you start 135 00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:10,960 Speaker 6: to see who is actually going to make money from 136 00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:14,400 Speaker 6: these fifty nine schemes, you see a Malaysian oil giants. 137 00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:17,480 Speaker 6: You see a company that is owned by BP, one 138 00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:20,200 Speaker 6: of the biggest emitters on the planet. You see Canadian 139 00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:23,920 Speaker 6: superannuation funds. Everyone has figured out there is money to 140 00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:26,000 Speaker 6: be made in this scheme, so they've just flooded in 141 00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:29,200 Speaker 6: at record pace. And then there's one which is this 142 00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:32,400 Speaker 6: company that is literally run by a husband and wife 143 00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:35,120 Speaker 6: that started two years ago, that have an office in 144 00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:37,440 Speaker 6: Sydney that is not an office, it's just a mail room. 145 00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:39,960 Speaker 6: There's no sign on the door. They've been declared a 146 00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:43,920 Speaker 6: priority and they have been given Capacity Investment Scheme support 147 00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:47,720 Speaker 6: and in the first couple of months after signing this deal, 148 00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:53,120 Speaker 6: they have outsourced technical support and the supply of batteries 149 00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:57,000 Speaker 6: from companies that are owned by the Chinese government. Now 150 00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:00,360 Speaker 6: they are Chinese government companies that have been linked to 151 00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:03,480 Speaker 6: the Belton Road initiative, which was four years ago what 152 00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:06,280 Speaker 6: Dan Andrews tried to sign Victoria up to, and the 153 00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:09,160 Speaker 6: Australian government said, this is not in our national interest 154 00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:13,120 Speaker 6: for Chinese government owned companies to be building infrastructure projects 155 00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:16,160 Speaker 6: for a range of reasons. But the government is saying, 156 00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:18,840 Speaker 6: the Albanezy government is saying that in this case, if 157 00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:21,040 Speaker 6: you're an Australian company, even if you're just a mom 158 00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:24,760 Speaker 6: and dad and you subcontract work to the Chinese government, 159 00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:28,520 Speaker 6: that's actually okay and there's no national security risk there. 160 00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:30,920 Speaker 6: Now I would disagree with that. I think this requires 161 00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:34,600 Speaker 6: a review. The opposition agrees, But you have to imagine 162 00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:37,440 Speaker 6: there's all sorts of secrecy around this reader. We don't 163 00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:39,640 Speaker 6: know how much any of this is costing us, and 164 00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:42,840 Speaker 6: when you have fifty nine secret contracts, it's the kind 165 00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:45,160 Speaker 6: of thing that one day will be worthy of a 166 00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:48,680 Speaker 6: Royal Commission, depending on where things actually end up, because 167 00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:51,080 Speaker 6: we're entitled to know the cost, and we're entitled to 168 00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:54,920 Speaker 6: know who is making money, how much, and how quickly 169 00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:57,280 Speaker 6: these things are being built. The fact that we don't 170 00:08:57,320 --> 00:08:58,800 Speaker 6: I think is a scandal. 171 00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:04,480 Speaker 4: Absolute scandal, particularly when there's public money involved and taxpayer 172 00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:09,400 Speaker 4: funds underpin a lot of what's happening in the renewable space. 173 00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:11,520 Speaker 4: And I think you've just explained why some of those 174 00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:14,439 Speaker 4: big corporates don't want the coalition to abandon it's zero 175 00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:18,800 Speaker 4: because they can see a lot of dollars guarantee, taxpaid dollars. 176 00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:19,880 Speaker 3: Going into their coppers. 177 00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:22,920 Speaker 4: James Willis, thank you so much for your time. 178 00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:25,160 Speaker 3: Tonight, Thanks Reda, thanks for having me. Now. 179 00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:28,280 Speaker 4: Eddie McGuire has said Melbourne may need a Los Angeles 180 00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:32,120 Speaker 4: style crime crackdown to make the CBD safe again. Maguire 181 00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:35,520 Speaker 4: says the recent disruptions in the CBD have been discouraging 182 00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:37,800 Speaker 4: people from visiting during the day. 183 00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:38,040 Speaker 7: Now. 184 00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:40,360 Speaker 3: McGuire's coments come just hours. 185 00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:43,000 Speaker 4: After his beloved suburb of broad Meadows, where he grew up. 186 00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:43,720 Speaker 3: So it's a. 187 00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:47,120 Speaker 4: Third instance of violent knife crime in just four days, 188 00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:49,880 Speaker 4: with a nineteen year old boy found with stab wounds 189 00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:54,000 Speaker 4: after a group of men wielding machetes worth fighting and 190 00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:56,720 Speaker 4: fleeing the scene. Joining me now for more on this 191 00:09:56,920 --> 00:10:01,280 Speaker 4: is Chief Economists at the Institute of Public Affairs, Adam Crichton, Adam, 192 00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:05,040 Speaker 4: you're a new resident to Melbourne. What are your perceptions 193 00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:08,000 Speaker 4: of the CBD. Can it be turned around? 194 00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:09,720 Speaker 2: Well, look, I think it can be turned around. 195 00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:12,480 Speaker 8: But it's a great thing that serious Melbourne personalities like 196 00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:15,560 Speaker 8: Eddie McGuire finally are speaking out and hopefully that does 197 00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:18,520 Speaker 8: prompt the government to change its stance on crime. I mean, 198 00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:21,000 Speaker 8: you know, the statistics are true, crime has been increasing, 199 00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:22,800 Speaker 8: but it's also a perception thing, just like he was 200 00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:25,559 Speaker 8: talking about, and it's the reputation of Melbourne I think, 201 00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:28,560 Speaker 8: both domestically and internationally has just been taking a massive 202 00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:31,440 Speaker 8: beating in the last few months, especially and frankly since 203 00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:34,880 Speaker 8: COVID for various reasons. Yes, as we've discussed, and you know, 204 00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:36,680 Speaker 8: I think that this really matters as a resident, as 205 00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:39,120 Speaker 8: someone who's recently bought property here, and that would include 206 00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:41,200 Speaker 8: tens of thousands of people. You know, you want your 207 00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:43,880 Speaker 8: city to have a good reputation and currently it does not. 208 00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:46,520 Speaker 3: It does, but I think it's entirely deserved. 209 00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:49,000 Speaker 4: I don't think it is a perception issue. I don't 210 00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:53,400 Speaker 4: think it's a reality issue. Victoria's got a record breaking 211 00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:56,880 Speaker 4: crime wave right now, so that's not in contention. 212 00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:00,200 Speaker 3: And I'm in Sydney every week. 213 00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:04,040 Speaker 4: For outsiders, and so I see the Sydney CBD during 214 00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:06,160 Speaker 4: the weekend and it is thriving. 215 00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:09,480 Speaker 3: There's people everywhere, the restaurants are full. It is so 216 00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:11,320 Speaker 3: different to the Melbourne CBD. 217 00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:14,600 Speaker 4: If there's not a major event happening, it's it's dead, 218 00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:16,160 Speaker 4: it's scary, it's depressing. 219 00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:18,959 Speaker 2: That's true. Yeah, it's my perception to especially living in 220 00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:20,920 Speaker 2: South Bank. There's always high rise towers. But where are 221 00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:23,240 Speaker 2: the peoples? Where are the weeople on the weekend? 222 00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:27,040 Speaker 4: Oh gosh now, says Knox City Council in the New 223 00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:29,680 Speaker 4: South Wales Hunter region has come under fire for its 224 00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:34,679 Speaker 4: lethargic response to complaints about a homeless encampment set up 225 00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:38,080 Speaker 4: in the town's main street. Residents have been complaining about 226 00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:41,760 Speaker 4: the encampment for weeks. They say it has transformed a 227 00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:46,000 Speaker 4: one save recreation area into a hot spot for open 228 00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:50,160 Speaker 4: air drug use, sex acts and aggressive behavior, deterring families 229 00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:54,000 Speaker 4: from visiting. The council has only now taken action, ordering 230 00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:59,040 Speaker 4: the occupants to clear off the site by earlier today. 231 00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:02,320 Speaker 4: And it's only come a bad adam because this video 232 00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:06,600 Speaker 4: that has been posted online went viral, just showing how 233 00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:09,720 Speaker 4: bad the situation is, and so often now authorities only 234 00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:12,920 Speaker 4: act when vision like this goes viral exactly. 235 00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:14,679 Speaker 8: Look, it's one of the virtues of social media that 236 00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:16,280 Speaker 8: we do find these things out. I think, you know, 237 00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:18,760 Speaker 8: the general point is, I think a permissive attitude to 238 00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:21,760 Speaker 8: taking drugs in public has failed internationally. I think we 239 00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:24,439 Speaker 8: have to admit that, and so that is relevant here. 240 00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:27,360 Speaker 8: But I think the more pertinent point is probably that 241 00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:29,920 Speaker 8: rents are spiraling out of control in these regional towns 242 00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:31,920 Speaker 8: and it is pushing people into homelessness, and this is 243 00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:34,679 Speaker 8: because of immigration largely. I would say that is one 244 00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:36,520 Speaker 8: of the key factors. I think I saw in that 245 00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:38,800 Speaker 8: article that rents incestknock in four or five years are. 246 00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:40,920 Speaker 2: Up thirty percent. Wow, right, I mean that's enormous. 247 00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:43,000 Speaker 8: These people's incomes would not be up thirty percent in 248 00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:44,440 Speaker 8: four or five years, and so some of them are 249 00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:46,280 Speaker 8: going to be tipped into living on the streets. And 250 00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:48,600 Speaker 8: this is what you get, and so quite understandably, people 251 00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:51,800 Speaker 8: are furious. Sadly, the council doesn't have much power over that. 252 00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:55,040 Speaker 8: I'd say it's a federal government ultimately, and these are 253 00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:57,560 Speaker 8: just you know, the social examples, you know, the social 254 00:12:57,600 --> 00:12:59,680 Speaker 8: fallout if you like, of this high immigration policy. 255 00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:04,160 Speaker 4: Now Anthony Albernizi has come under five wearing this t 256 00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:06,360 Speaker 4: shirt let's have a look at it, as he arrived 257 00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:10,000 Speaker 4: in Sydney last Thursday following his first state visit with 258 00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:14,000 Speaker 4: US President Donald Trump. Now he's fully aware that t 259 00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:17,360 Speaker 4: shirt says Joy Division, which is a band, and he's 260 00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:21,320 Speaker 4: fully aware of the dark meaning behind that band's name. 261 00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:26,720 Speaker 4: Former Leo Burnett Australia chen Nigel Marsh told the Prime 262 00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:30,360 Speaker 4: Minister during a podcast back in twenty twenty two exactly 263 00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:34,160 Speaker 4: what the name of the English band Joy Division refers to? 264 00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:37,280 Speaker 9: You know where the name comes from? 265 00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:39,400 Speaker 10: No I joant Actually it's awful. 266 00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:43,600 Speaker 9: In nineteen fifty five, a Holocaust survivor wrote a book 267 00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:47,080 Speaker 9: called The House of Dolls, and it's about, you know, 268 00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:52,360 Speaker 9: unfortunately the truth of the Germans. In the concentration camps 269 00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:58,559 Speaker 9: had divisions of women who were forced into enslaved prostitution 270 00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:02,720 Speaker 9: for the ess and that was they were cooled Joy divisions. 271 00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:05,079 Speaker 3: Oh redly, Yeah. 272 00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:08,360 Speaker 11: You should edit that out of the podcast just for 273 00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:13,719 Speaker 11: the sake of the listeners so that they can continue 274 00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:15,240 Speaker 11: to enjoy it. 275 00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:16,520 Speaker 10: But it was so dark. 276 00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:22,800 Speaker 4: Well, you can continue to enjoy the music of Joy Division. 277 00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:27,240 Speaker 4: But what about the wisdom of wearing a T shirt 278 00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:28,600 Speaker 4: that's his Joy Division. 279 00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:29,640 Speaker 2: It's very strange. 280 00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:31,440 Speaker 8: I mean, he obviously does know the meeting behind it. 281 00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:31,840 Speaker 2: I don't. 282 00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:34,160 Speaker 3: That was only twenty twenty two, so he hasn't forgotten. 283 00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:35,760 Speaker 8: He certainly wouldn't have forgotten it also, But you're the 284 00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:37,640 Speaker 8: more general point wearing a T shirt as you get 285 00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:38,200 Speaker 8: off the plane. 286 00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:40,520 Speaker 2: You're the Prime Minister of Australia. But is he cool 287 00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:42,280 Speaker 2: at us a serious country? I mean, can you not 288 00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:46,000 Speaker 2: wear a T shirt, especially especially one like that? Anyway, Look, 289 00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:48,960 Speaker 2: I know question his judgment there. I mean, let's hope 290 00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:51,120 Speaker 2: he did forget. Okay, that's very weird. 291 00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:55,480 Speaker 4: I just know if it was a liberal prime minister 292 00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:58,720 Speaker 4: wearing that same T shirt or another T shirt with 293 00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:02,600 Speaker 4: a band name that had that sort of origin, wow, 294 00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:04,400 Speaker 4: can you imagine the outrage. 295 00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:06,400 Speaker 2: Well, in fact, I hadn't even heard this until. 296 00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:14,040 Speaker 4: Steve Jackson in the Australian newspaper highlighted it again, because 297 00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:16,920 Speaker 4: I've got to say I'm not fully across Joy Division's work, 298 00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:19,920 Speaker 4: so I wasn't aware of that. But obviously the Prime 299 00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:23,920 Speaker 4: Minister is a big fan. Now Argentina's president, Javier malays 300 00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:28,320 Speaker 4: a libertarian party has won a big victory in national 301 00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:31,760 Speaker 4: legislative elections. The results should help me lay push ahead 302 00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:37,360 Speaker 4: with his radical overhaul of Argentina's long troubled economy. He's 303 00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:41,320 Speaker 4: already got that work well under way, Adam, this is enormous. 304 00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:43,720 Speaker 4: I mean what he has been able to achieve in 305 00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:47,520 Speaker 4: a short period of time in Argentina, when again the 306 00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:51,120 Speaker 4: world's media was in meltdown, he was called the Argentinian 307 00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:53,880 Speaker 4: Trump and he was going to destroy the place. And 308 00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:55,760 Speaker 4: he is a great admirer of Donald Trump. 309 00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:56,680 Speaker 3: And he has. 310 00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:02,160 Speaker 4: Slashed inflation by numbers you would not think would be 311 00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:03,120 Speaker 4: possible in that time. 312 00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:04,800 Speaker 8: No, the rate of inflation has gone from something like 313 00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:06,920 Speaker 8: two hundred and fifty percent a year to thirty percent 314 00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:08,880 Speaker 8: a year now, so huge reduction. Obviously more to go, 315 00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:11,760 Speaker 8: but that's incredible result. First budget surplus. I think for 316 00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:15,400 Speaker 8: decades poverty rates have actually fallen, and this result is 317 00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:17,920 Speaker 8: just extraordinary. Most polls had him getting about twenty five 318 00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:19,360 Speaker 8: percent of the vote. It looks like he's going to 319 00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:22,040 Speaker 8: get forty one percent, his party forty percent, which is 320 00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:24,560 Speaker 8: huge and the paronhas the opposition, that's the party that's 321 00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:26,440 Speaker 8: been responsible for the decline of Argentina. 322 00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:28,160 Speaker 2: I think they're going to get about twenty seven. 323 00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:30,800 Speaker 8: So this basically means that he has more than one 324 00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:32,360 Speaker 8: third of the seats in the lower House and the 325 00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:35,040 Speaker 8: upper House, and that basically means he can he can 326 00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:38,360 Speaker 8: press on with his reform agenda and he can't be 327 00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:39,640 Speaker 8: vetoed by the legislature. 328 00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:41,240 Speaker 2: So it's all good news. It's very great. 329 00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:43,560 Speaker 8: He's got two more years of his presidency, of course, 330 00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:46,960 Speaker 8: and now he's been inboldened by a great victory. So 331 00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:48,720 Speaker 8: you know, I think the Argentina and people have said, 332 00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:50,440 Speaker 8: we do not want to go back to that past. 333 00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:53,240 Speaker 4: No, that socialist past, and that's what it was, and 334 00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:57,520 Speaker 4: it absolutely destroyed the economy and the living standards of 335 00:16:57,520 --> 00:17:00,960 Speaker 4: that country, a country that was once very prosperous. And 336 00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:03,760 Speaker 4: you're going to be in Argentina in a few days, 337 00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:07,040 Speaker 4: so enjoy that, Adam krist Then come back on the program. 338 00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:09,040 Speaker 2: Indeed I will.

Grab a tissue, folks, 347 00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:50,600 Speaker 4: this is rather emotional. 348 00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:52,560 Speaker 12: I want to use this moment to speak to the 349 00:17:52,600 --> 00:18:02,560 Speaker 12: Muslims of New York City. I want to speak to 350 00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:10,920 Speaker 12: the memory of my aunt who stopped taking the subway 351 00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:13,879 Speaker 12: after September eleventh because she did not feel safe in 352 00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:14,399 Speaker 12: her Hitdjab. 353 00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:18,760 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's devastating, folks, it really is.

And that's if you 356 00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:30,320 Speaker 4: believe him, and frankly I don't. After every Islamist terrorist attack, 357 00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:33,000 Speaker 4: there is such a focus. 358 00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:34,480 Speaker 3: On stamping at Islamophobia. 359 00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:38,280 Speaker 4: Yes, the leftist propping up the Islamists will come to 360 00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:41,280 Speaker 4: rue that day. Let's hear now from Zora and Mamdani 361 00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:44,640 Speaker 4: in turn, are Zoo Malik, who. 362 00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:49,000 Speaker 3: Is calling on Muslims to be gangster and jhad, and the. 363 00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:51,600 Speaker 13: True believer knows that none of this is in vain, 364 00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:54,640 Speaker 13: that this is all you had, that this is all ibada, 365 00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:57,520 Speaker 13: and this is all counted for by a los pranodata. 366 00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:01,280 Speaker 13: And so the conversation of dockxing, the conversation of getting 367 00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:05,080 Speaker 13: arrested and suspended. I think it's time for Muslims to 368 00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:08,399 Speaker 13: start to say, all right, all right, so what do 369 00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:09,000 Speaker 13: what you want? 370 00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:09,560 Speaker 14: I'm gonna do. 371 00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:11,639 Speaker 13: I'm gonna do what I gotta do, because that's it. 372 00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:14,080 Speaker 13: It's about time to do that. How gangs are you? 373 00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:17,080 Speaker 13: That's just my Christian How much are you willing to 374 00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:19,600 Speaker 13: do it? And I know everyone has their own risk level, 375 00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:21,960 Speaker 13: but at the end of the day, that's a question 376 00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:26,000 Speaker 13: to ask ourselves. How committed am I to this? How 377 00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:30,560 Speaker 13: to what extent of my personal material games am I 378 00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:34,159 Speaker 13: willing to sacrifice for this bigger normal cause. 379 00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:38,800 Speaker 4: Let's go to another failing city, crime real Chicago, which 380 00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:43,119 Speaker 4: has been ruled by Democrats for decades and decades, and 381 00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:47,359 Speaker 4: where the current mayor, Brandon Johnson, is triggered by factual 382 00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:49,640 Speaker 4: terms like illegal immigrant. 383 00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:53,680 Speaker 14: We don't have illegal aliens. I don't know if that's 384 00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:55,880 Speaker 14: from some sort of sci fi message that you wish 385 00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:58,840 Speaker 14: you bad. Well, listen, the legal term for my people 386 00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:00,840 Speaker 14: were slaves. You want me to use that term too, 387 00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:03,720 Speaker 14: So look, let's just get the language right. We're talking 388 00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:07,320 Speaker 14: about undocumented individuals that are human beings. The last thing 389 00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:10,880 Speaker 14: that I'm going to do is accept the type of racist, 390 00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:13,920 Speaker 14: nasty language to describe human beings. 391 00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:17,240 Speaker 3: Now, let's have a little Hollywood import. 392 00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:21,160 Speaker 4: Actress Jenna or Taga was asked about who her heroes 393 00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:24,520 Speaker 4: were and gave this rather incoherent. 394 00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:27,840 Speaker 3: Virtue signaling response, is sheare okay because you're in here today? 395 00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:33,959 Speaker 7: Oh, my mum will always be a hero, but another 396 00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:38,560 Speaker 7: hero of myn today, I don't know. I'm quite revitated 397 00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:41,800 Speaker 7: towards the people of Palestine and the way that they 398 00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:46,520 Speaker 7: speak up and you know, the way that they're continuously 399 00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:49,879 Speaker 7: using their voice no matter how much the world seems 400 00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:52,879 Speaker 7: to ignore them. It's very important and it's very commendable. 401 00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:57,639 Speaker 7: And uh, you know, I would like to left and 402 00:20:57,680 --> 00:20:58,800 Speaker 7: raiser voices as well. 403 00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:03,040 Speaker 4: Natural rather generously proportioned woman who seems to think white 404 00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:08,160 Speaker 4: people are lazy, dirty and violent. I can only hope 405 00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:10,680 Speaker 4: this is a parody, a prank. 406 00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:14,840 Speaker 3: Surely no one can be this boldly racist. 407 00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:16,679 Speaker 9: To just white people in general. 408 00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:19,760 Speaker 5: I'm tired of you, mother, I'm tired of your incompetence. 409 00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:22,879 Speaker 5: I'm tired of your laziness. I'm tired of you not 410 00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:25,840 Speaker 5: watching your egg on a regular basis, and then we 411 00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:29,840 Speaker 5: have to be susceptible to that. I'm tired of you 412 00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:33,439 Speaker 5: having babies. I'm tired of you're raising and birthing and 413 00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:38,640 Speaker 5: raising serial killers, pedophiles, mad shooters. 414 00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:38,480 Speaker 3: And all this. 415 00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:42,400 Speaker 5: And then you tell black people that we're violent. Everything 416 00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:47,280 Speaker 5: about violence we learned it from you, So you're the 417 00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:48,199 Speaker 5: root cause of it. 418 00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:51,600 Speaker 4: Now would be uncharitable of me to listen some crime 419 00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:55,920 Speaker 4: statistics right about now, and some demographic breakdowns, but just. 420 00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:59,520 Speaker 3: Imagine if the word black was substituted for white. They're 421 00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:01,639 Speaker 3: in that crazy rant. 422 00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:02,159 Speaker 1: Now. 423 00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:05,280 Speaker 4: I didn't think me praising Arnold Schwarzenegger was going to 424 00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:07,600 Speaker 4: be on the cards, But here we are. Twenty twenty 425 00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:10,800 Speaker 4: five has been a wild year. Here is the Hollywood 426 00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:14,760 Speaker 4: star and former California governor dropping a brutal fact check 427 00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:19,760 Speaker 4: on CNN's Jake Tappa. Now, despite being a former Republican governor, 428 00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:22,280 Speaker 4: Jake would have thought he was on safe ground. With 429 00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:26,080 Speaker 4: Arnie given hes a full blown Teds case, but no 430 00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:27,879 Speaker 4: Arnie surprised us all. 431 00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:29,600 Speaker 3: Watch what he says. 432 00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:34,119 Speaker 4: When Tapa tries to blame Republicans redistricting efforts and calls 433 00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:35,600 Speaker 4: it cooking the books. 434 00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:38,760 Speaker 15: This all started because of redistricting in Texas, and this 435 00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:42,600 Speaker 15: was Trump pushing Republican controlled states to throw out their 436 00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:46,560 Speaker 15: current congressional maps so as to cook the book so 437 00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:50,280 Speaker 15: that there is less it is less likely for Democrats 438 00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:54,440 Speaker 15: to retake control of the House during the next year 439 00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:57,040 Speaker 15: mid terms. I mean, is it fair to argue that 440 00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:00,960 Speaker 15: do you believe that the Republican Party's starting us? 441 00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:07,040 Speaker 1: No, Jake, there has been cherrymandering going on for two 442 00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:12,000 Speaker 1: hundred years. There is such such extreme cherrymandering going on 443 00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:16,200 Speaker 1: in the state like Massachusetts, it has like forty percent 444 00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:18,760 Speaker 1: of the puper voting for Trump. They only had they 445 00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:23,240 Speaker 1: have Seer a representative. The Republican Party has seral representatives 446 00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:26,520 Speaker 1: sent to the House. Think about that in New Mexico 447 00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:29,760 Speaker 1: and forty five percent of the people voted for Trump 448 00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:34,160 Speaker 1: and voted Republican and Cyril is sent to the House 449 00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:36,679 Speaker 1: zero representative from the Republican Party. 450 00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:40,400 Speaker 4: You can just see Jake's little heartbreaking into a thousand 451 00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:43,679 Speaker 4: pieces as Arnie betrays him there betrays him with the 452 00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:47,440 Speaker 4: truth with cold heart facts. Joining me now is Newsweek 453 00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:50,840 Speaker 4: Senior editor at Large and Article three Projects Senior Council 454 00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:57,159 Speaker 4: Josh Hammer. Josh, tell me about the jerry mandering, the redistricting. 455 00:23:57,440 --> 00:23:59,720 Speaker 4: It just seems crazy to me that you can have 456 00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:04,160 Speaker 4: a state we're forty five percent for Republican. 457 00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:06,159 Speaker 3: And I don't get a single member in the House. 458 00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:09,080 Speaker 16: So Rita, first of all, you know what year is it? 459 00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:10,679 Speaker 16: I mean, is it the year two thousand and five 460 00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:12,760 Speaker 16: where Arlan schwartzen Anker is back in the news. I mean, 461 00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:15,520 Speaker 16: it's really quite funny. I actually it's doubly funny for 462 00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:17,240 Speaker 16: me as the case. Maybe I actually just got back 463 00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:19,679 Speaker 16: to my state of Flora, actually was in arl schwartzen 464 00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:21,600 Speaker 16: Ainger's home country of Austria, of all places, for the 465 00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:24,200 Speaker 16: past weeks. This is really kind of deja vous all 466 00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:27,159 Speaker 16: over again. But look, he's right, He's right. All parties 467 00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:29,199 Speaker 16: do it. There are actually many Democrats states that do 468 00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:31,560 Speaker 16: it a lot worse than others. I actually know this firsthand, Rita, 469 00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:35,760 Speaker 16: because going back in twenty sixteen in the Republican presidential primary. 470 00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:38,880 Speaker 16: I actually was a delegate on the ballot in Illinois 471 00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:41,959 Speaker 16: seventh Congressional District, where I studied the state of Illinois 472 00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:44,439 Speaker 16: maps very well. These maps are like I mean to 473 00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:46,800 Speaker 16: call them hooks and crooks, I think will be an understatement. 474 00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:48,639 Speaker 16: They are wiggling, they are wagging, they're zigging. 475 00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:49,280 Speaker 10: There's zagging. 476 00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:52,000 Speaker 16: It's total nonsense there. They'll go down to like half 477 00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:54,840 Speaker 16: a mile wide and then balloon out to two hundred 478 00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:57,399 Speaker 16: miles there, just trying to make sure that the party 479 00:24:57,400 --> 00:25:00,240 Speaker 16: in control has as many seats as possible, as the 480 00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:02,919 Speaker 16: former governor of California, Schwartz Nager was saying. Now, this 481 00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:05,520 Speaker 16: goes back, as he also correctly said, to the origins 482 00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:08,320 Speaker 16: of the Republic. The name jerry mandering comes from the 483 00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:11,960 Speaker 16: early American statesman Elbridge Jerry. He literally lived over two 484 00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:14,080 Speaker 16: hundred years ago. So this goes back a very very 485 00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:17,560 Speaker 16: long time. Long story short, everyone does it, everyone does, 486 00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:19,800 Speaker 16: and everyone's done it for a very very long time. 487 00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:22,440 Speaker 16: So for Democrats to kind of you try to play 488 00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:24,440 Speaker 16: the moral high ground. We saw that in Texas a 489 00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:26,639 Speaker 16: few months ago earlier this summer, where Greg Abbott and 490 00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:29,600 Speaker 16: the Texas legislature. We're trying to redraw their maps. There 491 00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:31,720 Speaker 16: they were saying, oh my god, it's a threat to democracy, 492 00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:34,000 Speaker 16: as if you guys don't do it, as the Democrats 493 00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:38,080 Speaker 16: go to the exact same darn thing. Now legally speaking, 494 00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:40,960 Speaker 16: read up, there are real limits on the ability of 495 00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:43,520 Speaker 16: the courts to police his behavior. It's typically viewed as 496 00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:46,199 Speaker 16: an inherently political question best left to the courts. There 497 00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:48,439 Speaker 16: are limits on racial jerry mandering. 498 00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:48,879 Speaker 10: In particular. 499 00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:51,199 Speaker 16: It's actually a very interesting Supreme Court case. They just 500 00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:53,480 Speaker 16: heard oral argument in that case about a week ago. 501 00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:55,639 Speaker 16: It's very hot off. The press could get a very 502 00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:57,800 Speaker 16: fascinating ruling on that. But traditionally the courts that have 503 00:25:57,840 --> 00:26:01,200 Speaker 16: been pretty hands off on this. It's fundamentally political question. 504 00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:02,639 Speaker 16: They are the Red states versus Blue states. 505 00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:05,800 Speaker 3: Well, who does it better? 506 00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:11,280 Speaker 4: Because the allegation is that the Democrats have mastered this. 507 00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:15,480 Speaker 4: They have been doing this in a rampant fashion across 508 00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:16,560 Speaker 4: the country. 509 00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:19,359 Speaker 3: Are the Republicans playing catch up here? 510 00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:21,680 Speaker 10: I think they are. 511 00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:24,600 Speaker 16: The good news reader, is that some of the leading 512 00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:26,719 Speaker 16: red states in the country, including my state of Florida, 513 00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:29,520 Speaker 16: are doing a pretty darn good job of playing cash up. 514 00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:33,120 Speaker 16: So Florida has added numerous Republican congressional seats just during 515 00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:35,680 Speaker 16: Ron the sanders Is gubernatorial tenure. Stay of Texas under 516 00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:38,119 Speaker 16: Greg Abbot is doing very much the same thing. But 517 00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:41,600 Speaker 16: if you look at the leading blue states California, Illinois, 518 00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:44,399 Speaker 16: New Jersey, states like that, there a lot of them 519 00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:48,639 Speaker 16: are frankly just comically jerrymandered. I mean, you look at 520 00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:50,760 Speaker 16: the map and you just want to laugh out loud, 521 00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:53,800 Speaker 16: like how these actual congressional maps look. Now, this is 522 00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:57,360 Speaker 16: relevant for US House representation. It's relevant for the dsseniel 523 00:26:57,359 --> 00:26:59,639 Speaker 16: once every ten year census when it comes to how 524 00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:01,600 Speaker 16: much how much funding states can get for the FEDS 525 00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:04,800 Speaker 16: for various programs. So it has real ramvocations there. Democrats 526 00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:07,160 Speaker 16: managed this art a very long time ago. Republicans are 527 00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:09,879 Speaker 16: indeed playing catchup, as they all too often are. I 528 00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:11,840 Speaker 16: might say, the good news, reader, is that at least 529 00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:14,720 Speaker 16: in the leading red states like Florida, Tennessee, Texas, those 530 00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:15,840 Speaker 16: states are and d catching up. 531 00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:22,680 Speaker 4: Now, Josh, tell me about the absolute mass meltdown we've 532 00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:26,240 Speaker 4: had over Donald Trump gifting the American people a ballroom, 533 00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:29,479 Speaker 4: a beautiful ballroom. We would say this addition to the 534 00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:33,800 Speaker 4: white House will have zero taxpayer dollars bent on it, 535 00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:37,520 Speaker 4: with Trump and other donors paying for the enormous construction cost. 536 00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:42,560 Speaker 4: You'd think this wouldn't be grounds for a massive meltdown, Josh, 537 00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:46,640 Speaker 4: But it's every way, even on our nine papers in 538 00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:49,520 Speaker 4: Australia today, The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age are 539 00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:54,800 Speaker 4: carrying pieces about this as if it's some horrible misdeed 540 00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:59,560 Speaker 4: by Trump. It is one of the more bizarre controversies 541 00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:01,520 Speaker 4: I've got to side of this second term. 542 00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:04,080 Speaker 16: You know, Rita, You and I are both in the 543 00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:06,560 Speaker 16: news business, and every so often a story comes up 544 00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:09,160 Speaker 16: and I just asked myself, why use this a thing? 545 00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:11,919 Speaker 16: Like literally, why are people talking about it? I mean, 546 00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:13,800 Speaker 16: here in the United States, we have some pretty big issues. 547 00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:16,760 Speaker 16: This is actually one of the longest government shutdowns already 548 00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:18,800 Speaker 16: in the United States history, thanks to Chuck Schumer and 549 00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:21,439 Speaker 16: than Kim Jeffries. We have Donald Trump, who's currently in 550 00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:24,400 Speaker 16: Southeast Asia on in a very very important forum policy trip. 551 00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:26,560 Speaker 16: When it comes to everything from piece between Thailand and 552 00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:30,679 Speaker 16: Cambodia to trade with communists China, we have this this 553 00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:34,119 Speaker 16: whole brewing controversy when it comes to this president's admirable 554 00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:38,480 Speaker 16: willingness and ability to take out drug cartel smugglers down 555 00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:40,160 Speaker 16: in the Caribbean all the way down to vent as 556 00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:42,080 Speaker 16: well as a lot going on in our own hemisphere. 557 00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:44,320 Speaker 16: But I mean the notion that this would be a 558 00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:49,040 Speaker 16: story that Donald Trump remodeling and granting the White House 559 00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:51,360 Speaker 16: a new ballroom. I mean, don't you guys have anything 560 00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:53,200 Speaker 16: better talk about? I mean, like, literally, don't you have 561 00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:55,920 Speaker 16: something better to get your pantees all up in a 562 00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:58,040 Speaker 16: lot about. I mean it really makes you think sometimes, 563 00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:00,280 Speaker 16: Rita that I mean, Donald Trump could eat a piece 564 00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:03,440 Speaker 16: of stale cheese and he could issue a particularly loud 565 00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:06,360 Speaker 16: bit of flatulence in the wrong direction, and the people 566 00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:09,400 Speaker 16: would say that it is the imminent incoming Jack Boots 567 00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:10,040 Speaker 16: of the Third Reich. 568 00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:11,920 Speaker 10: I mean, what is wrong with you? 569 00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:13,840 Speaker 16: At a certain level, They're like, this is what you're 570 00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:16,240 Speaker 16: choosing to live and die in. But you know, facetiousness aside, 571 00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:18,000 Speaker 16: just to be serious for a second here, you know, 572 00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:20,800 Speaker 16: the White House is, among other things, the President's home 573 00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:24,000 Speaker 16: and president's going back since time immemorials to George Washington, 574 00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:26,960 Speaker 16: well he actually in the White House. Well, starry In says, 575 00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:29,200 Speaker 16: the White House was actually inhabited by the presidents there, 576 00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:31,800 Speaker 16: they all remodeled it to some extent to their liking, 577 00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:33,680 Speaker 16: because again, it is a home. It is not a 578 00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:36,280 Speaker 16: big deal at all. The left surely has better things 579 00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:36,720 Speaker 16: to care about. 580 00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:40,360 Speaker 4: I would like to think, and you would think that 581 00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:43,440 Speaker 4: the White House should have a ballroom, given the functions 582 00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:47,120 Speaker 4: they host and the world leaders and dignitaries. 583 00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:47,840 Speaker 3: Who come through daily. 584 00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:54,200 Speaker 4: Almost it's obviously something that would be beneficial to the 585 00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:58,040 Speaker 4: whole setup. And you know, people joke that if Donald 586 00:29:58,040 --> 00:30:00,959 Speaker 4: Trump cured cancer, people would be use him for putting 587 00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:05,560 Speaker 4: doctors out of work, and this is almost akin to that, 588 00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:10,520 Speaker 4: because here, with our taxpayer funds, a beautiful ballroom is 589 00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:13,200 Speaker 4: going to be built. It's owned by the American people, 590 00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:16,440 Speaker 4: it's not owned by Donald Trump, and yet they're finding 591 00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:21,240 Speaker 4: ways to have an absolute hissy fit over it. 592 00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:22,200 Speaker 3: Crazy stuff. 593 00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:26,120 Speaker 4: Now, Donald Trump is setting a blistering pace in Asia 594 00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:30,120 Speaker 4: for the summit of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations. 595 00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:33,960 Speaker 4: Within six hours of landing in Colo Lumpa, the President 596 00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:37,920 Speaker 4: announced trade deals with four countries, met regional leaders, and 597 00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:41,560 Speaker 4: held talks with the Brazilian president. And he's presided over 598 00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:46,160 Speaker 4: signing of a peace steal between Cambodia and Thailand. 599 00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:48,280 Speaker 3: Josh, there's a lot happening there. 600 00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:51,480 Speaker 10: Yeah, it's a bit of a blitzkreak, isn't it. 601 00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:51,600 Speaker 1: So? 602 00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:53,720 Speaker 16: First of all, I mean, he deserves tremendous credit for 603 00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:56,040 Speaker 16: getting this peace deal between Thailand and Cambodia. You know, 604 00:30:56,040 --> 00:30:57,880 Speaker 16: Frankly Rider, there have been so many peace deals that 605 00:30:57,920 --> 00:31:01,280 Speaker 16: he has negotiated over the first less than a Euro's presidency. 606 00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:04,000 Speaker 16: It's genuinely hard to keep track there, but Tyland Cambodia 607 00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:05,920 Speaker 16: was definitely one of those that kind of snuck in 608 00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:07,840 Speaker 16: under the radar. So good for him for game there 609 00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:10,040 Speaker 16: being there in person to preside over this. The big 610 00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:11,959 Speaker 16: question I think a lot of Americans are paying very 611 00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:14,360 Speaker 16: close attention to, at least from my vantage points, is 612 00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:17,320 Speaker 16: when Donald Trump actually goes to meet with Si Jimping. 613 00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:19,640 Speaker 16: That's going to happen imminently. They're going to have a 614 00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:23,280 Speaker 16: full blown discussion over issues of trade between the United 615 00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:26,000 Speaker 16: States and China. This is one of the great questions 616 00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:28,160 Speaker 16: of our time. I think from an American perspective, there 617 00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:32,360 Speaker 16: is some sorts of healthier trade relationship between the United 618 00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:35,560 Speaker 16: States and our art geopolitical foe, the communist Chinese. Is 619 00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:38,440 Speaker 16: there something that is a healthier relationship that can possibly 620 00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:40,480 Speaker 16: flow from this? I genuinely am not sure what the 621 00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:42,280 Speaker 16: answer is. I definitely know that I have been deeply 622 00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:44,960 Speaker 16: skeptical of the way that bypars and elites have sold 623 00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:47,000 Speaker 16: the American people down the river when it comes to 624 00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:49,600 Speaker 16: offshore in China, when it comes to just stripping out 625 00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:52,640 Speaker 16: the industrial base of the American homeland and betting the 626 00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:56,440 Speaker 16: Chinese communist parties intellectual property fats, their currncy manipulation, all 627 00:31:56,440 --> 00:31:59,040 Speaker 16: these horrible things there. So what will Donald Trump actually 628 00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:01,760 Speaker 16: be able to do? China's been tough. I mean, Chijinpang 629 00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:04,240 Speaker 16: is doing a very hard sell right now. He has 630 00:32:04,280 --> 00:32:07,440 Speaker 16: these sort of damocles of possibly invading Taiwan, which would 631 00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:09,719 Speaker 16: be a total disaster, certainly for the Indo Pacific. So 632 00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:12,200 Speaker 16: that's really fascinating. I think that's very much what I 633 00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:14,480 Speaker 16: think many others are paying very close tend to this week. 634 00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:20,840 Speaker 4: Well, he not only arrived in Kola Lumpa with a 635 00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:26,480 Speaker 4: dance off, introduced some new moves to his repertoire, but 636 00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:30,000 Speaker 4: he was also introduced with the rocky theme. 637 00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:43,440 Speaker 3: Have a look at this What will China. 638 00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:48,800 Speaker 4: Make of the reception the president is receiving from Asian 639 00:32:48,840 --> 00:32:51,720 Speaker 4: countries during this summit, Well, you. 640 00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:53,760 Speaker 16: Would like to think that they would be somewhat cowed. 641 00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:55,840 Speaker 16: You would like to think that they would be somewhat 642 00:32:55,920 --> 00:32:58,040 Speaker 16: sobered up by the fact that Don Trump is being 643 00:32:58,080 --> 00:33:01,000 Speaker 16: welcomed as a hero in Southeast Asia, not particularly far 644 00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:07,360 Speaker 16: from China. But she jimping Rita is a fundamentally revolutionary figure. 645 00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:08,960 Speaker 16: She jimping when you look at what he is doing 646 00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:10,760 Speaker 16: to the Communist Party, when you look at the purges 647 00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:13,400 Speaker 16: of his top ranking military brass that he has done 648 00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:15,800 Speaker 16: just over the past two three years. I mean, he 649 00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:18,120 Speaker 16: is now purging more military generals than I think even 650 00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:20,600 Speaker 16: Maose Dung himself reached over a similar times, and he 651 00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:23,120 Speaker 16: is really consolidating power there. He is not a fan 652 00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:25,240 Speaker 16: of the United States. He is not a fan of 653 00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:28,680 Speaker 16: Donald Trump. So I would like to think that they 654 00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:30,720 Speaker 16: will be sobered up a little bit by this grand 655 00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:34,120 Speaker 16: welcome that Donald Trump got in Malaysia, with the Thailand 656 00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:36,600 Speaker 16: Cambodia deal, places like that there. Unfortunately, I'm not entirely 657 00:33:36,600 --> 00:33:38,360 Speaker 16: sure that I expect that it's gonna be a very 658 00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:40,600 Speaker 16: tough trad it's gonna be a very very tough negotiation 659 00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:43,400 Speaker 16: between the United States and China. There ultimately though redone. 660 00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:45,640 Speaker 16: Here's the key points. The United States has more leverage. 661 00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:48,120 Speaker 16: The United States fundamentally has more leverage with China. We 662 00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:50,600 Speaker 16: are the stronger country, we are the stronger economy. The 663 00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:53,200 Speaker 16: Chinese economy has all sorts of fundamental flaws when it 664 00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:55,040 Speaker 16: comes to the real estate market, when it comes to 665 00:33:55,080 --> 00:33:58,400 Speaker 16: the rudeness, ravications of their one child policy, finally come 666 00:33:58,440 --> 00:34:00,480 Speaker 16: into roos when it comes to declining dem graphics. That 667 00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:02,959 Speaker 16: they have all sorts of structural flaws. As long as 668 00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:05,400 Speaker 16: Donald Trump kind of keeps his head level here and 669 00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:07,240 Speaker 16: kind of tries to reprise the yard of the deal, 670 00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:09,680 Speaker 16: I'm pretty I'm pretty costly optimisty about what this could 671 00:34:09,719 --> 00:34:10,239 Speaker 16: result from. 672 00:34:12,719 --> 00:34:14,040 Speaker 3: Now, let's go to New York. 673 00:34:14,120 --> 00:34:17,120 Speaker 4: The mayoral race there is heating up with zorn Man 674 00:34:17,239 --> 00:34:20,120 Speaker 4: Danny the likely next Meg. Isn't he going to be 675 00:34:20,200 --> 00:34:23,200 Speaker 4: giving us rich content for many years to come if 676 00:34:23,239 --> 00:34:26,880 Speaker 4: that happens? But Josh a different story, very different story. 677 00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:31,160 Speaker 4: In New Jersey. The governor race there is fascinating and 678 00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:35,680 Speaker 4: you're looking at the numbers. Could New Jersey become a 679 00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:36,560 Speaker 4: red state. 680 00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:39,440 Speaker 10: Josh, oh, it's entirely possible. 681 00:34:39,640 --> 00:34:42,120 Speaker 16: First of all, New Jersey has had Republican state wide 682 00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:45,080 Speaker 16: officials in the not so distant past. I mean, let's 683 00:34:45,080 --> 00:34:48,200 Speaker 16: recall that Chris Christy was a two term and at 684 00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:50,840 Speaker 16: least at one point he was a fairly popular governor. 685 00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:53,360 Speaker 16: And I mean before the whole bridge Gate scandal and 686 00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:54,840 Speaker 16: all that, but at one point he was actually a 687 00:34:54,840 --> 00:34:58,200 Speaker 16: pretty popular governor there in New Jersey. But New Jersey 688 00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:01,640 Speaker 16: read it's a fascinting state because there is no single 689 00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:05,360 Speaker 16: massive city in New Jersey. It's a very suburban state. 690 00:35:05,600 --> 00:35:07,600 Speaker 16: So I think as a lot of these Philadelphia suburbs, 691 00:35:07,600 --> 00:35:10,000 Speaker 16: these New York City suburbs have started to sour on 692 00:35:10,080 --> 00:35:12,879 Speaker 16: the Democratic Party because frankly, they value quality of life 693 00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:15,520 Speaker 16: issues such as a secure borders, such as tamping down 694 00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:18,600 Speaker 16: on crimes such as increasing real inflation just to wages. 695 00:35:18,640 --> 00:35:22,239 Speaker 16: There they have soured at this current woke iteration of 696 00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:25,840 Speaker 16: the Jasmine Crockett AOC Democratic Party. So New Jersey has 697 00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:28,480 Speaker 16: been trending read for a few years now. They almost 698 00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:30,960 Speaker 16: actually voted for the Republicans back in twenty twenty one. 699 00:35:31,080 --> 00:35:33,400 Speaker 16: I will not be the least surprised if they can 700 00:35:33,440 --> 00:35:35,440 Speaker 16: actually pull it off in in just a week or 701 00:35:35,480 --> 00:35:37,440 Speaker 16: so here in New Jersey. I'm going I'm not gonna 702 00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:39,360 Speaker 16: confidently predict a read it, but I think it's actually 703 00:35:39,360 --> 00:35:42,600 Speaker 16: gonna be really really close. New Jersey easily, easily could 704 00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:44,720 Speaker 16: be the next day to genuinely flip red. I Thinkamala 705 00:35:44,760 --> 00:35:46,880 Speaker 16: Harris only wanted by about five points. 706 00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:48,640 Speaker 10: Giver take it was. It was a genuinely pretty close 707 00:35:48,719 --> 00:35:49,520 Speaker 10: race lesson November. 708 00:35:51,680 --> 00:35:55,720 Speaker 4: So interesting given its proximity to Manhattan. I think you'd 709 00:35:55,760 --> 00:35:59,200 Speaker 4: have such wildly different politics so. 710 00:35:59,320 --> 00:36:00,160 Speaker 3: Close to each other. 711 00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:02,719 Speaker 4: Before you go, I want to ask you about this 712 00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:10,120 Speaker 4: Harvard University resident dean who's attacked police, white people, conservatives, 713 00:36:10,440 --> 00:36:14,520 Speaker 4: even defended threats against President Donald Trump. And this was 714 00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:17,120 Speaker 4: before he was appointed, not that long ago. This is 715 00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:21,200 Speaker 4: a report by Fox News. In twenty twenty social media posts, 716 00:36:21,520 --> 00:36:25,440 Speaker 4: Gregory Davis wrote, you should ask your cop friends to 717 00:36:25,560 --> 00:36:30,640 Speaker 4: resign since they're racist and evil. He also posted something 718 00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:34,560 Speaker 4: to keep in mind, writing and looting are parts of democracy, 719 00:36:35,080 --> 00:36:36,600 Speaker 4: just like voting and marching. 720 00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:39,040 Speaker 3: The people will be heard, thee go. 721 00:36:39,080 --> 00:36:43,240 Speaker 4: Writing and looting is just like voting in marching, Josh, 722 00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:46,480 Speaker 4: when is Harvard going to learn, And these posts are 723 00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:47,600 Speaker 4: from twenty twenty. 724 00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:51,239 Speaker 3: It isn't exactly a long time ago, you know. 725 00:36:51,360 --> 00:36:54,800 Speaker 16: Sadly, Rita, this is hardly the only instance of recent 726 00:36:54,840 --> 00:36:58,360 Speaker 16: Harvard professors going wild. There was actually an insane story 727 00:36:58,360 --> 00:37:00,360 Speaker 16: that happened one of the Jewish heigh all days. I 728 00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:02,319 Speaker 16: can't remember which one it was. I think it was Russia, Shanna, 729 00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:03,799 Speaker 16: but it might have been young people, it doesn't matter. 730 00:37:03,880 --> 00:37:07,239 Speaker 16: But there was a visiting Harvard Law School professor went 731 00:37:07,280 --> 00:37:10,959 Speaker 16: to a synagogue just outside Boston, a very heavily Jewish area. 732 00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:13,800 Speaker 16: It was either Brookline or New to Massachusetts, and fired 733 00:37:13,840 --> 00:37:15,920 Speaker 16: like a pellet gun or a nerf gun in a 734 00:37:15,960 --> 00:37:20,480 Speaker 16: symbolic active protest at the synagogue for what ex athlete, 735 00:37:20,520 --> 00:37:24,160 Speaker 16: I mean, for being like Zionists or occupiers column I 736 00:37:24,160 --> 00:37:26,319 Speaker 16: mean all these various left wing buzzwords. And to my 737 00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:29,600 Speaker 16: knowledge that that professor was actually not yet yet been disciplined. 738 00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:32,400 Speaker 16: So Harvard's actually dealing with just utter and sanity on 739 00:37:32,520 --> 00:37:35,560 Speaker 16: multiple fronts. Now, Harvard has been actually been really kind 740 00:37:35,560 --> 00:37:37,759 Speaker 16: of taken to the woodshed, frankly from Donald Trump. The 741 00:37:37,760 --> 00:37:40,319 Speaker 16: trumminstration has done a really good job of trying to 742 00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:44,160 Speaker 16: exact concessions from Harvard. Harvard have this three to fourger 743 00:37:44,239 --> 00:37:47,360 Speaker 16: page memo where they basically admitted where they've aired in 744 00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:49,960 Speaker 16: recent years there and they pledged to do different going forward. 745 00:37:49,960 --> 00:37:51,719 Speaker 16: I guess the question is, are you actually going to 746 00:37:51,719 --> 00:37:54,399 Speaker 16: do different going forward? Because thus far in the two 747 00:37:54,480 --> 00:37:56,920 Speaker 16: three months or so since that memo was released there, 748 00:37:56,960 --> 00:37:59,680 Speaker 16: I mean, we've had numerous troubling data points there. Ultimately, 749 00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:03,160 Speaker 16: I us that the Dogsonal Rights Division, under the excellent 750 00:38:03,239 --> 00:38:05,600 Speaker 16: leadership of HARMI Dyllan, they're gonna continue to I think, 751 00:38:05,640 --> 00:38:07,600 Speaker 16: to hold horror It's feet to the fire and let's 752 00:38:07,600 --> 00:38:08,120 Speaker 16: see what happens. 753 00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:08,439 Speaker 1: I guess. 754 00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:13,120 Speaker 3: Josh Hamma, thank you so much for your time still 755 00:38:13,200 --> 00:38:13,600 Speaker 3: to come. 756 00:38:13,719 --> 00:38:17,600 Speaker 4: Donald Trump unveils his latest dance moves, and Meghan Markle 757 00:38:17,719 --> 00:38:18,920 Speaker 4: loses more staff. 758 00:38:19,360 --> 00:38:21,680 Speaker 3: Gabriella Power will have all the details. 759 00:38:32,880 --> 00:38:36,440 Speaker 4: Welcome back now to President Trump, who has set a 760 00:38:36,680 --> 00:38:40,080 Speaker 4: sizzling pace in Asia.

The US and 775 00:39:42,560 --> 00:39:46,839 Speaker 4: China have also agreed to a framework for a trade deal, 776 00:39:46,920 --> 00:39:51,040 Speaker 4: with Donald Trump expected to meet the Chinese president Gigiping 777 00:39:51,440 --> 00:39:52,279 Speaker 4: this Thursday. 778 00:39:52,800 --> 00:39:55,840 Speaker 17: Yeah, that's right, Rita. And just on Donald Trump's dance moves, 779 00:39:56,320 --> 00:39:59,120 Speaker 17: isn't it refreshing to have a president that is full 780 00:39:59,160 --> 00:40:02,120 Speaker 17: of life, that is energetic, that's high energy, that who 781 00:40:02,160 --> 00:40:05,480 Speaker 17: is entertaining on the world stage, especially after the past 782 00:40:05,680 --> 00:40:08,440 Speaker 17: several years of Joe Biden, who was just embarrassing on 783 00:40:08,480 --> 00:40:11,239 Speaker 17: the world stage, falling up and down the stairs. But 784 00:40:11,360 --> 00:40:14,480 Speaker 17: Donald Trump, you know, busting out iconic moves. But as 785 00:40:14,520 --> 00:40:17,359 Speaker 17: you say, he's getting it done. He's expected to meet 786 00:40:17,400 --> 00:40:20,520 Speaker 17: with China's president later in the week, and the US 787 00:40:20,520 --> 00:40:25,200 Speaker 17: and China have agreed to a framework trade deal at 788 00:40:25,239 --> 00:40:28,080 Speaker 17: this stage, which means it's likely that China will be 789 00:40:28,160 --> 00:40:30,840 Speaker 17: able to avoid the one hundred percent tariff. So that 790 00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:33,080 Speaker 17: is the art of the deal playing out. 791 00:40:33,160 --> 00:40:33,600 Speaker 14: We will, of. 792 00:40:33,560 --> 00:40:36,879 Speaker 17: Course works his space very closely. But as you say, 793 00:40:36,960 --> 00:40:41,160 Speaker 17: Donald Trump, he's been NonStop. He's been signing off on 794 00:40:41,200 --> 00:40:45,520 Speaker 17: that historic peace agreement between Cambodia and Thailand. He's been 795 00:40:45,560 --> 00:40:49,480 Speaker 17: signing trade deals with Cambodia, Thailand, and Malaysia. And this 796 00:40:49,520 --> 00:40:51,920 Speaker 17: is just at the very beginning of his tour. 797 00:40:54,080 --> 00:40:55,839 Speaker 3: And no one can keep up with him. 798 00:40:56,000 --> 00:40:59,360 Speaker 4: I was listening to an interview with Caitlin Collins from CNN. 799 00:40:59,480 --> 00:41:01,200 Speaker 3: No fan of Donald Trump, it must be. 800 00:41:01,239 --> 00:41:05,160 Speaker 4: Said, but she was saying that on these overseas assignments, 801 00:41:06,920 --> 00:41:09,080 Speaker 4: no one can sleep because he doesn't sleep. 802 00:41:09,120 --> 00:41:10,040 Speaker 3: He just keeps. 803 00:41:09,800 --> 00:41:13,840 Speaker 4: Going, and the reporter extremely to work with rab the clock. 804 00:41:14,640 --> 00:41:16,239 Speaker 3: They're very ugly to get up with him. 805 00:41:16,640 --> 00:41:21,440 Speaker 4: Now, you would remember Justin Trudeau, the former Canadian Prime minister, 806 00:41:21,600 --> 00:41:25,000 Speaker 4: the male himbo I used to call him his now 807 00:41:25,040 --> 00:41:28,640 Speaker 4: known as Katie Perry's boyfriend. And here they are on 808 00:41:28,680 --> 00:41:35,200 Speaker 4: a date in Paris to celebrate Katie's forty fifth birthday, Gaba. 809 00:41:35,320 --> 00:41:37,600 Speaker 4: We wish them, but well, I guess have you got 810 00:41:37,600 --> 00:41:40,080 Speaker 4: anything to add to this little union. 811 00:41:41,239 --> 00:41:43,680 Speaker 17: We do wish them well, of course, but they are 812 00:41:43,680 --> 00:41:46,720 Speaker 17: two highly unpopular people. I mean, looking at the reaction 813 00:41:46,840 --> 00:41:49,520 Speaker 17: to this, many people are still calling Katie Perry an 814 00:41:49,560 --> 00:41:53,040 Speaker 17: astronaut after the ten minutes that she spent up in space. 815 00:41:53,120 --> 00:41:55,279 Speaker 17: And Justin Todau, I mean, people are still calling him 816 00:41:55,320 --> 00:41:57,960 Speaker 17: the fifty first governor of the United States, and they're 817 00:41:58,080 --> 00:42:01,400 Speaker 17: ridiculing him for his stance on climate change. But Katie Perry, 818 00:42:01,560 --> 00:42:05,279 Speaker 17: Justin Trudeau, they've been They were captured or photographed, i 819 00:42:05,320 --> 00:42:08,280 Speaker 17: should say, back in July at a restaurant than earlier 820 00:42:08,280 --> 00:42:10,759 Speaker 17: this month.

For Katie Perry's birthday, they went to 824 00:42:21,320 --> 00:42:22,920 Speaker 17: a cabaret show in Paris. 825 00:42:25,440 --> 00:42:28,680 Speaker 4: Yes, it's a curious choice for a forty fifth birthday, 826 00:42:28,760 --> 00:42:31,240 Speaker 4: but you know, plenty of others have made similar choices. 827 00:42:31,880 --> 00:42:34,839 Speaker 4: Let's move along to Harry and Meghan. They've lost yet 828 00:42:34,960 --> 00:42:40,319 Speaker 4: another publicist. Former Netflix senior director of Publicity Emily Robinson 829 00:42:40,440 --> 00:42:43,279 Speaker 4: has quit her communications role with The Sussex is just 830 00:42:43,719 --> 00:42:48,920 Speaker 4: four months into the job. This follows several communications staffers 831 00:42:48,960 --> 00:42:52,800 Speaker 4: who have also exited The Sussex's team in recent years. 832 00:42:52,880 --> 00:42:56,800 Speaker 3: Gab, why can't these couple hold on to staff? 833 00:42:57,880 --> 00:43:00,440 Speaker 17: I mean it's extraordinary. It's a revolving door when it 834 00:43:00,440 --> 00:43:03,160 Speaker 17: comes to Harry and Meghan. If you look at any 835 00:43:03,360 --> 00:43:08,080 Speaker 17: kind of successful organization, any successful business, one of the 836 00:43:08,160 --> 00:43:11,120 Speaker 17: key parts or something that really reflects strong leadership is 837 00:43:11,160 --> 00:43:14,239 Speaker 17: if you can retain quality staff. Harry and Meghan have 838 00:43:14,360 --> 00:43:16,040 Speaker 17: not been able to do that. I mean the fact 839 00:43:16,080 --> 00:43:18,840 Speaker 17: that this is the tenth publicist to go in the 840 00:43:18,880 --> 00:43:21,360 Speaker 17: space of five years, that is extraordinary. And if you 841 00:43:21,400 --> 00:43:25,879 Speaker 17: look at this communications director Emily Robinson's career history, she's 842 00:43:25,960 --> 00:43:29,240 Speaker 17: quit after three months now. Previously, she's worked at NBC 843 00:43:29,560 --> 00:43:32,640 Speaker 17: Universal for nearly three years. She's worked at other channels 844 00:43:32,680 --> 00:43:36,600 Speaker 17: for several years, Netflix for reports of up to eight years. 845 00:43:36,640 --> 00:43:41,120 Speaker 17: So she's someone that clearly doesn't quit very easily. You know, 846 00:43:41,200 --> 00:43:45,240 Speaker 17: She's proven to be loyal to previous companies. So sources 847 00:43:45,239 --> 00:43:47,480 Speaker 17: have told outlets such as The Daily Mail she's not 848 00:43:47,520 --> 00:43:49,160 Speaker 17: a quitter and things must have been. 849 00:43:49,080 --> 00:43:50,959 Speaker 3: Horrible for her to quit. 850 00:43:51,120 --> 00:43:53,680 Speaker 17: So you think about the fact that she is now 851 00:43:54,000 --> 00:43:57,319 Speaker 17: the tenth person to quit in the space of five years. 852 00:43:57,440 --> 00:44:00,360 Speaker 17: What are Harry and Meghan doing or you know what 853 00:44:00,480 --> 00:44:03,680 Speaker 17: is happening there? It's actually clearly driving staff away there. 854 00:44:03,680 --> 00:44:07,680 Speaker 17: Of course those reports that Meghan had a bullying allegations 855 00:44:07,719 --> 00:44:09,920 Speaker 17: against her while she was in the UK, and so 856 00:44:10,280 --> 00:44:12,840 Speaker 17: Meghan Markle, who's someone who was so desperate for some 857 00:44:12,920 --> 00:44:17,680 Speaker 17: good PR this is just another PR disaster for her. 858 00:44:17,360 --> 00:44:20,880 Speaker 4: It is well, there was a probe into whether Meghan 859 00:44:21,160 --> 00:44:24,480 Speaker 4: was a bully or not. The results, from what I understand, 860 00:44:24,520 --> 00:44:30,120 Speaker 4: were never released. This was a palace investigation, but one 861 00:44:30,160 --> 00:44:32,480 Speaker 4: day will be because you can never bury this sort 862 00:44:32,520 --> 00:44:35,440 Speaker 4: of stuff forever, so we'll find out what really happened 863 00:44:35,520 --> 00:44:40,480 Speaker 4: behind closed doors now. Readers of the Australian newspaper have 864 00:44:41,000 --> 00:44:43,880 Speaker 4: voted on the top twenty five shows TV shows of 865 00:44:43,920 --> 00:44:47,640 Speaker 4: the past twenty five years, and topping the list was 866 00:44:47,840 --> 00:44:51,480 Speaker 4: Ted Lasso. I'm going to say I've never seen an episode, 867 00:44:51,560 --> 00:44:56,120 Speaker 4: so I will plead ignorance there, followed by Ozark, which 868 00:44:56,160 --> 00:44:59,359 Speaker 4: is good value. Could argue we jumped the shark sort 869 00:44:59,400 --> 00:45:04,560 Speaker 4: of deep into it's last season, mister in Between and Shit's. 870 00:45:04,400 --> 00:45:05,520 Speaker 3: Creak now, Gab. 871 00:45:06,160 --> 00:45:09,760 Speaker 4: I've got to say it is a surprising top four 872 00:45:09,800 --> 00:45:14,040 Speaker 4: where the readers perhaps drunk when they voted in this poll. 873 00:45:14,120 --> 00:45:15,520 Speaker 3: I'm just asking the questions. 874 00:45:15,920 --> 00:45:18,799 Speaker 17: Perhaps I saw Ted Lasso, I didn't mind it, but 875 00:45:18,880 --> 00:45:21,520 Speaker 17: Rita that you missed one. There was also Yellowstone, and 876 00:45:21,560 --> 00:45:25,600 Speaker 17: surely you like Yellowstone and also Afterlife, I mean Ricky Deveyez, 877 00:45:25,760 --> 00:45:28,319 Speaker 17: that's something that I would absolutely vote for. He's a 878 00:45:28,360 --> 00:45:31,680 Speaker 17: brilliant comedian and so I'm not mad about that making 879 00:45:31,680 --> 00:45:34,640 Speaker 17: the list. 880 00:45:34,239 --> 00:45:37,719 Speaker 4: I've got to confess I will watch Yellowstone, but it's 881 00:45:37,719 --> 00:45:39,719 Speaker 4: one of the ones that's on my binge list that 882 00:45:39,800 --> 00:45:40,480 Speaker 4: I haven't got to. 883 00:45:40,640 --> 00:45:44,160 Speaker 3: But I did watch land Man. I binched that one, 884 00:45:44,239 --> 00:45:47,120 Speaker 3: and that is brilliant. I don't know if you've seen 885 00:45:47,120 --> 00:45:50,319 Speaker 3: that one, Gabby. That is with. 886 00:45:50,320 --> 00:45:54,120 Speaker 4: Billy Bob Thornton, Billy Bob Thornton, Demi Moore. I guess 887 00:45:54,120 --> 00:45:57,319 Speaker 4: they're the big stars in it. But it is a 888 00:45:57,640 --> 00:46:01,279 Speaker 4: brilliantly written drama. I think it's gone. Season two coming 889 00:46:01,360 --> 00:46:05,040 Speaker 4: up very shortly now. The Golden Globes has introduced a 890 00:46:05,160 --> 00:46:09,880 Speaker 4: new category for podcasts, and it's already been ripped to 891 00:46:09,960 --> 00:46:13,960 Speaker 4: shreds by fuming media insiders as it's an out of 892 00:46:14,000 --> 00:46:16,360 Speaker 4: control category and a money grab. 893 00:46:17,040 --> 00:46:18,480 Speaker 3: What's going on there, Gab. 894 00:46:18,719 --> 00:46:21,440 Speaker 17: Yeah, let's talk about the Golden Globes controversy, because there's 895 00:46:21,440 --> 00:46:24,239 Speaker 17: a bit of controversy around how these awards are going 896 00:46:24,320 --> 00:46:28,080 Speaker 17: to be decided. So essentially, the Golden Globes announced that 897 00:46:27,360 --> 00:46:31,880 Speaker 17: there are twenty five nominees for this new Best Podcast category, 898 00:46:32,200 --> 00:46:35,120 Speaker 17: but it's already being slammed as a racket because people 899 00:46:35,120 --> 00:46:37,720 Speaker 17: are wondering how these top twenty five podcasts are exactly 900 00:46:37,760 --> 00:46:40,239 Speaker 17: going to be chosen, So the list of the top 901 00:46:40,280 --> 00:46:43,400 Speaker 17: twenty five podcasts will be determined by Illuminate. Illuminate is 902 00:46:43,440 --> 00:46:46,839 Speaker 17: owned by Penske, if I'm pronouncing that correctly. Penske has 903 00:46:46,880 --> 00:46:49,719 Speaker 17: owned the Golden Globes since twenty twenty three. But there's 904 00:46:50,160 --> 00:46:53,600 Speaker 17: more controversy saying that this is essentially a cash grab 905 00:46:53,680 --> 00:46:58,319 Speaker 17: because potential podcast nominees must reportedly pay the Globes five 906 00:46:58,400 --> 00:47:02,239 Speaker 17: hundred dollars just to be sit it. So look, it's 907 00:47:02,280 --> 00:47:05,880 Speaker 17: being slammed. There's also a bit of controversy around some 908 00:47:05,920 --> 00:47:08,840 Speaker 17: of the podcasters aren't fans of the Golden Globes themselves 909 00:47:08,920 --> 00:47:10,840 Speaker 17: and certainly have a bit of a war on Hollywood. 910 00:47:10,880 --> 00:47:12,640 Speaker 17: So we'll see how this one plays out. Reader. 911 00:47:14,560 --> 00:47:17,719 Speaker 4: I mean, if it was a genuine category, you would 912 00:47:17,800 --> 00:47:20,960 Speaker 4: have a conservative likely win it. And can you imagine 913 00:47:21,000 --> 00:47:23,440 Speaker 4: if you had someone like a Megan Kelly giving a 914 00:47:23,520 --> 00:47:27,040 Speaker 4: speech at the Golden Globes. I mean, my god, Ricky 915 00:47:27,120 --> 00:47:29,600 Speaker 4: Gervais would have nothing on her. She would rip them 916 00:47:29,719 --> 00:47:32,960 Speaker 4: to shreds. Or if you had, I don't know so 917 00:47:33,040 --> 00:47:37,799 Speaker 4: many other great podcasters who would be in contention if 918 00:47:37,840 --> 00:47:40,080 Speaker 4: it was a genuine category, But I've got a feeling 919 00:47:40,120 --> 00:47:40,480 Speaker 4: it's not. 920 00:47:40,920 --> 00:47:44,840 Speaker 17: Now before you go, and you look at the podcasters, 921 00:47:44,920 --> 00:47:48,640 Speaker 17: and the conservatives are just absolutely dominating that space. When 922 00:47:48,640 --> 00:47:50,680 Speaker 17: you've got Megan Kelly, you've got Tucker cass and you've 923 00:47:50,680 --> 00:47:53,960 Speaker 17: got Joe Rogan. It's where Donald Trump spent three hours 924 00:47:53,960 --> 00:47:57,080 Speaker 17: of his time, you know, with Joe Rogan, with the Ovaughne, 925 00:47:57,120 --> 00:48:00,440 Speaker 17: with some really big podcasters, and it potentially helped him 926 00:48:00,440 --> 00:48:03,520 Speaker 17: get elected. It's where people are listening. People are certainly 927 00:48:03,560 --> 00:48:06,960 Speaker 17: listening to conservative voices on there, but not sure about 928 00:48:07,080 --> 00:48:09,040 Speaker 17: the Golden Globes categrie. That's for sure. 929 00:48:11,000 --> 00:48:11,520 Speaker 3: Absolutely. 930 00:48:11,640 --> 00:48:14,040 Speaker 4: Now, before you go, we have to have some Kardashian 931 00:48:14,239 --> 00:48:19,040 Speaker 4: input into this segment. Kim Kardashian has defended her twelve 932 00:48:19,160 --> 00:48:23,839 Speaker 4: year old daughter Northwest's fake face tattoos and piercings, and 933 00:48:23,880 --> 00:48:26,319 Speaker 4: she's also got the I think blue hair at the 934 00:48:26,360 --> 00:48:32,480 Speaker 4: moment after the child posted videos featuring this bold new 935 00:48:32,560 --> 00:48:37,160 Speaker 4: look on TikTok, gab Kanye has I think posted about 936 00:48:37,160 --> 00:48:37,840 Speaker 4: this as well. 937 00:48:37,880 --> 00:48:39,839 Speaker 3: He's not happy, but then his. 938 00:48:39,840 --> 00:48:42,840 Speaker 4: Own output on social media is hardly an example for 939 00:48:42,920 --> 00:48:43,720 Speaker 4: north to follow. 940 00:48:44,520 --> 00:48:49,000 Speaker 17: No, Kanye's example on social media is absolutely appalling. But 941 00:48:49,440 --> 00:48:52,520 Speaker 17: as you say, Kim Kardashian has come to her daughter's 942 00:48:52,520 --> 00:48:56,760 Speaker 17: defense here because outlets have shared that TikTok and written 943 00:48:56,840 --> 00:49:00,840 Speaker 17: articles saying that really found some concern when when she 944 00:49:01,000 --> 00:49:04,160 Speaker 17: was seen on TikTok with the blue hair, the piercings, 945 00:49:04,239 --> 00:49:08,680 Speaker 17: the tattoos, you know, some people find that a little 946 00:49:08,680 --> 00:49:13,400 Speaker 17: bit shocking. But Kim Kardashian has slammed Daily Mail saying 947 00:49:13,400 --> 00:49:15,560 Speaker 17: this is such a non issue, and plenty of fans 948 00:49:15,560 --> 00:49:18,120 Speaker 17: of backed Kim Kardashian saying, look, she's just going through 949 00:49:18,160 --> 00:49:20,400 Speaker 17: a teenage phase and give her a bit of space. 950 00:49:22,680 --> 00:49:24,799 Speaker 4: Or she may be going through a teenage phase, but 951 00:49:24,880 --> 00:49:27,160 Speaker 4: she's not a teenager yet, but yeah, maybe she's an 952 00:49:27,200 --> 00:49:28,920 Speaker 4: early bloomer out Northwest. 953 00:49:28,960 --> 00:49:31,080 Speaker 3: Gabriella Power, thanks so much for your time. 954 00:49:31,440 --> 00:49:35,480 Speaker 4: Thanks reader, and that's it from me. Up next it's Newsnight. 955 00:49:35,520 --> 00:49:37,279 Speaker 4: I'll see you at eleven tomorrow Night
