Everything was hectic. It was just crazy like 34 00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:50,600 Speaker 4: an iPhone, yeah, with machetes. 35 00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:53,440 Speaker 7: Glanced over and he was holding quite a big machete, 36 00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:56,440 Speaker 7: so I obviously was like, oh my god, you know, 37 00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:57,800 Speaker 7: terrifying and displayed. 38 00:01:57,800 --> 00:01:59,840 Speaker 6: It was just a man lying on the floor like 39 00:01:59,880 --> 00:02:02,559 Speaker 6: a surrounded by cobs with big flood on the floor. 40 00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:05,680 Speaker 7: The other man with the big machetes still in his stomach. 41 00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:09,079 Speaker 3: A sixteen year old and a fifteen year old have 42 00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:13,280 Speaker 3: since been charged with multiple offenses, including a frey intentionally 43 00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:16,600 Speaker 3: causing injury, possession of a controlled weapon and use of 44 00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:20,480 Speaker 3: the controlled weapon. Premier just Into Alan has today announced 45 00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:22,239 Speaker 3: a ban on machetes. 46 00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:26,720 Speaker 8: We are choking the supply of machetes by bringing about 47 00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:30,320 Speaker 8: this immediate band from them being sold anywhere in Victoria. 48 00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:33,360 Speaker 3: Joining me now for more on this is IPA chief 49 00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:37,240 Speaker 3: economist and senior fellow Adam Crichton. Adam, this seems like 50 00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:38,520 Speaker 3: a great solution. 51 00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:41,239 Speaker 2: Just banned machetes. Don't worry about. 52 00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:44,720 Speaker 3: The underlying issues with crime crisis. And I'm sure these 53 00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:47,919 Speaker 3: thugs are going to be abiding by the new rules 54 00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:51,880 Speaker 3: and not accessing machetes. If it's not a machete can 55 00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:54,520 Speaker 3: be another large later weapon. 56 00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:57,600 Speaker 9: Yeah, look to focus on machetes, I think is somewhat amusing. 57 00:02:57,600 --> 00:02:59,560 Speaker 9: I don't think the number of machetes and Victoria has 58 00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:01,079 Speaker 9: changed dramatically. 59 00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:03,080 Speaker 4: In recent years, and yet we have seen this spiking crime. 60 00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:03,440 Speaker 4: I think. 61 00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:06,120 Speaker 9: You know, one kind of a sad anecdote here on 62 00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:09,200 Speaker 9: the state of politics in this state is that, you know, 63 00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:11,240 Speaker 9: the machines were meant to be banned on the first 64 00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:13,079 Speaker 9: in sectum, but now they're going to be banned overnight. 65 00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:14,760 Speaker 4: Just it's of one particular incident. 66 00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:16,680 Speaker 9: So it just goes to show you how reactive the 67 00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:19,480 Speaker 9: state government is there's really no long term planning. But 68 00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:23,040 Speaker 9: on the broader issue of youth crime, this has certainly 69 00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:26,280 Speaker 9: been increasing recently. This is very, very distressing to see. 70 00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:28,359 Speaker 9: It would have been very scary being at that supermarket 71 00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:30,920 Speaker 9: that day. And you know, my sense is that you know, 72 00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:33,000 Speaker 9: certain groups in the community don't have as much respect 73 00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:35,640 Speaker 9: for the law. I don't think that's kind of saying 74 00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:37,119 Speaker 9: anything kind of out there. 75 00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:41,160 Speaker 3: And the state government for so long has deny that 76 00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:44,760 Speaker 3: there is a gang issue in this state, particularly youth gangs, 77 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:48,360 Speaker 3: and until they acknowledge there is a problem, they're going 78 00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:50,640 Speaker 3: to be in no position to solve it. 79 00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:53,760 Speaker 2: And just banning things isn't the answer. 80 00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:56,839 Speaker 3: And the opposition, I've got to say, haven't exactly been 81 00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:01,280 Speaker 3: groundbreaking on this either. They not look at the broader issues, 82 00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:05,000 Speaker 3: underlying issues and to do with the criminal justice system 83 00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:06,840 Speaker 3: as well. I mean, look at this case. This is 84 00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:10,200 Speaker 3: a more youth crime in Victoria. Sixteen year old charge 85 00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:14,040 Speaker 3: with seventy separate offenses, mostly assault related, in just the 86 00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:17,960 Speaker 3: last twelve months. While in arguing for bail, the teen's 87 00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:21,640 Speaker 3: lawyers told the Children's court that he now self identifies 88 00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:26,440 Speaker 3: as First Nations, despite his parents telling police he isn't 89 00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:31,360 Speaker 3: had him putting that to it To one side, it's 90 00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:35,839 Speaker 3: just another example of a teen facing serious charges getting 91 00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:39,919 Speaker 3: bailed time and time and time again. The criminal justice 92 00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:44,839 Speaker 3: system in this state is broken, and you're right, the 93 00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:48,479 Speaker 3: Alan government is reactive. They're taking measures now, but it 94 00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:49,920 Speaker 3: all seems to be too little. 95 00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:50,080 Speaker 10: Too late. 96 00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:50,400 Speaker 11: Yeah. 97 00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:53,680 Speaker 9: Look, certainly in this particular example, this kid does not 98 00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:56,040 Speaker 9: seem like a good young fellow in all those charges. 99 00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:58,640 Speaker 9: But more broadly, I would say in Australia, and you're 100 00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:00,600 Speaker 9: probably think I'm going to be soft on prime here reader, 101 00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:03,640 Speaker 9: but you know, we probably have too many nonviolent offenders 102 00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:06,560 Speaker 9: in prison. It costs, it costs a huge amount to 103 00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:08,039 Speaker 9: look after them. I think at the. 104 00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:09,480 Speaker 4: IPA we did some research last year. 105 00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:11,359 Speaker 9: It costs about one hundred and sixty thousand dollars a 106 00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:14,960 Speaker 9: year to keep one person in prison. And the prison 107 00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:17,920 Speaker 9: population has been growing five percent, it grew last year. 108 00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:20,520 Speaker 9: That's three times population growth. So you know, this is 109 00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:22,000 Speaker 9: billions and billions of dollars. 110 00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:22,560 Speaker 4: A year we're spending. 111 00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:25,160 Speaker 9: So so you know, there must be a better way 112 00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:27,760 Speaker 9: with you know, with criminals like this guy. 113 00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:30,320 Speaker 4: You know he's probably from away with family. 114 00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:33,840 Speaker 9: Perhaps I don't know anything about his particular case, but 115 00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:36,760 Speaker 9: more broadly, we've got to try to keep well. 116 00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:41,480 Speaker 3: That's an interesting discussion about whether non violent criminals should 117 00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:45,760 Speaker 3: just have a some sort of a tracking device. I'd 118 00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:49,000 Speaker 3: be fined to home atsion. Now let's talk about the 119 00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:53,440 Speaker 3: Australian Electoral Commission holding a partial recount of votes in 120 00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:58,760 Speaker 3: the seat of Goldstein amid till candidate Zoe Daniels continued 121 00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:02,680 Speaker 3: refusal to concede defeat. This is despite the fact that 122 00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:05,599 Speaker 3: it's been declared now several times and she may have 123 00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:09,800 Speaker 3: forgotten this, but back in twenty twenty, Zoe Daniel lash 124 00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:13,440 Speaker 3: Donald Trump on social media, posting Trump has to find 125 00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:16,919 Speaker 3: an excuse for losing that is not himself, because he 126 00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:18,640 Speaker 3: can't accept being a loser. 127 00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:22,560 Speaker 2: Now it's Zoey Daniel or should that be Zoe denial. 128 00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:24,160 Speaker 3: That he's refusing to accept defeat. 129 00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:26,240 Speaker 2: Is she a threat to democracy? 130 00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:30,159 Speaker 3: Do you feel like you can't sleep at night with 131 00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:31,080 Speaker 3: this sort of threat. 132 00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:33,480 Speaker 9: Look, it's very funny when the shoes on the other foot, 133 00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:34,920 Speaker 9: that was a very good fine of yours. I think 134 00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:37,120 Speaker 9: you found that in her Twitter feed, didn't you? Oh no, No. 135 00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:40,520 Speaker 2: Some other person on expounded I've just used it. 136 00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:43,000 Speaker 4: But look, I mean, you know she's you know, it 137 00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:43,839 Speaker 4: is embarrassing for her. 138 00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:45,599 Speaker 9: I mean, I think the footage of her claiming victory 139 00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:47,440 Speaker 9: will be one of the funniest sets of footage I 140 00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:50,400 Speaker 9: think in Australian political history. The fact that there's a 141 00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:53,840 Speaker 9: recount that's somewhat interesting because the triggers meant to be 142 00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:55,400 Speaker 9: one hundred votes I think it's two hundred and sixty 143 00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:58,080 Speaker 9: votes different, so they didn't have to do a recount. 144 00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:00,240 Speaker 9: I noticed it's a partial recount, so it's we're not 145 00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:01,920 Speaker 9: going to change the outcome. I mean, I think she 146 00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:05,160 Speaker 9: would have been better just not asking for one, especially 147 00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:07,040 Speaker 9: given the embarrassment I just mentioned earlier. 148 00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:09,160 Speaker 3: About oh No, I think that's holding onto dear life 149 00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:11,600 Speaker 3: and the man who beat her. Tim Wilson has posted 150 00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:14,560 Speaker 3: this on x He said, I'm concerned about the increasing 151 00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:19,120 Speaker 3: escalation of commentary from the former Member for Goldstein that 152 00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:22,880 Speaker 3: is trending towards bringing the Australian Electoral Commissions Count into 153 00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:27,960 Speaker 3: question and needlessly seed in questions about the AEC's processes. 154 00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:31,640 Speaker 3: The AAC has been very thorough. The count has gone 155 00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:36,080 Speaker 3: on for three weeks liberal until scrutineers observed the process 156 00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:36,840 Speaker 3: votes were. 157 00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:38,160 Speaker 2: Counted multiple times. 158 00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:42,320 Speaker 3: Margin hasn't dropped below one hundred once in a majority, 159 00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:45,920 Speaker 3: and our two hundred and sixty margin nearly doubles and 160 00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:51,400 Speaker 3: imagery one pin forty auto recount threshold. So that's very interesting, 161 00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:55,320 Speaker 3: isn't it? So three weeks, I mean that is a 162 00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:55,920 Speaker 3: long time. 163 00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:57,440 Speaker 4: It is. Well, that's a whole other issue. 164 00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:00,920 Speaker 9: We should have known the results by now, many days ago, 165 00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:01,640 Speaker 9: I would say. 166 00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:06,400 Speaker 3: Now we've got more details of the Liberal Party's disastrous 167 00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:09,960 Speaker 3: election campaign. A senior Liberal source has told The Australian 168 00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:15,960 Speaker 3: newspaper that internal polling by Freshwater Strategy was extremely inaccurate 169 00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:22,120 Speaker 3: and gave the campaign flawed information throughout the election. The 170 00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:24,040 Speaker 3: polling was a huge problem. 171 00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:25,360 Speaker 2: It was way out. 172 00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:29,000 Speaker 3: If we had known the truth, we would have changed 173 00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:32,319 Speaker 3: course overnight. Well, Adam, if they just watched Sky News. 174 00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:35,319 Speaker 3: We've been telling them all year and certainly throughout the 175 00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:40,160 Speaker 3: election campaign that they were absolutely stuffing it up. 176 00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:41,680 Speaker 2: They were going to lose. 177 00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:44,840 Speaker 3: They were going to lose comfortably because this was just 178 00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:49,839 Speaker 3: the most lackluster nothing campaign and opposition has mounted well 179 00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:50,800 Speaker 3: in my lifetime. 180 00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:53,319 Speaker 9: Yeah, Look, I mean i'd probably have a slightly different view. 181 00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:56,400 Speaker 9: I mean, of course, in hindsight, we're all geniuses now. 182 00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:57,560 Speaker 2: But I know it was a hindsight. 183 00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:00,280 Speaker 3: I said it throughout the election campaign. 184 00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:02,160 Speaker 9: I don't know, but now others I thought it would 185 00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:03,800 Speaker 9: be closer than it was. And I guess I was 186 00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:06,960 Speaker 9: misled by the polling and everyone's beating up on freshwater, 187 00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:09,240 Speaker 9: and I get that it's kind of funny, but it 188 00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:10,920 Speaker 9: was all the polling was kind of wrong. I mean, 189 00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:13,040 Speaker 9: it wasn't just them, it was all. It was all 190 00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:15,600 Speaker 9: hugely out. I mean, it was kind of the Polster's 191 00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:18,240 Speaker 9: twenty sixteen moment, if you're like, in relation to the US, 192 00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:20,480 Speaker 9: when they all got it completely wrong, except the era 193 00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:22,319 Speaker 9: didn't go to the right, went to the left. 194 00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:24,720 Speaker 4: So look, let's hope they. 195 00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:27,320 Speaker 9: Improve their polling for next time, especially for the Liberal Party, 196 00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:29,000 Speaker 9: so that they're not kind of operating blind. 197 00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:30,000 Speaker 11: Yes. 198 00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:32,880 Speaker 3: Yes, And it was an interesting piece by Greg Sheridan 199 00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:37,239 Speaker 3: over the weekend in The Australian about the country being divided, 200 00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:41,600 Speaker 3: misgoverned and in retreat. Hero to Australia is a nation 201 00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:46,719 Speaker 3: in decline across every indicator you can imagine, economy, living standards, 202 00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:54,200 Speaker 3: social cohesion, crime, health, military capability, the creativity and virtuosity 203 00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:56,920 Speaker 3: of the arts. We're in a serious decline. Is it 204 00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:57,720 Speaker 3: really that grim? 205 00:09:57,760 --> 00:09:58,080 Speaker 2: Adam? 206 00:09:58,280 --> 00:09:59,200 Speaker 4: Look, I think it is. 207 00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:01,360 Speaker 9: I share his piece, and in fact I wrote a 208 00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:03,400 Speaker 9: similar column a few weeks earlier in The Australian. 209 00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:05,319 Speaker 4: Look, I think, I think, I always dimensions. 210 00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:06,760 Speaker 9: But let's just look at the economic You know, we 211 00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:09,000 Speaker 9: did have the biggest fall of living standards in the 212 00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:12,440 Speaker 9: OECD over the last three years, which is extremely embarrassing, 213 00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:14,920 Speaker 9: and it's hard to see how that's going to stop. 214 00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:17,640 Speaker 9: We've got the resource boom ending soon that the Chinese 215 00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:19,800 Speaker 9: economy is going to start to shrink, and yet no 216 00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:21,640 Speaker 9: one is talking about this. I mean, how are we 217 00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:23,520 Speaker 9: going to pay our way in the world. We've been 218 00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:25,200 Speaker 9: relying on order to do it for the last ten 219 00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:27,719 Speaker 9: or so years. That's going to slowly dry up. And 220 00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:31,679 Speaker 9: yet we keep regulating our economy, increasing taxes. There's no 221 00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:34,920 Speaker 9: debate really about our taxation system or our economic future. 222 00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:37,480 Speaker 9: And you know what we've imported I think one point 223 00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:40,920 Speaker 9: three million migrants in three years, the fastest population growth 224 00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:42,520 Speaker 9: in the developed world by far. 225 00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:46,480 Speaker 2: Not sufficient housing for them. 226 00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:49,160 Speaker 9: That's right, absolutely not. And then there's a social cohesion issue. 227 00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:51,000 Speaker 9: I mean that's starting to phrase surely. I mean we 228 00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:53,640 Speaker 9: talked about some issues earlier on the program that possibly 229 00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:56,280 Speaker 9: relate to that. So look, I just think it's almost 230 00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:59,839 Speaker 9: like the political class is actually trying to destroy to destroy. 231 00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:01,880 Speaker 4: Australia on purpose. That's how I has a mystic. I 232 00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:02,560 Speaker 4: am about it. 233 00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:06,559 Speaker 2: Before you go. I know you love the city of Melbourne. 234 00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:10,320 Speaker 2: You're a new residence, a new resident, but this news 235 00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:11,480 Speaker 2: isn't going to make you happy. 236 00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:16,240 Speaker 3: More than eight hundred thousand dollars of the COVID Relief 237 00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:19,920 Speaker 3: Fund was redirected by the City of Melbourne. 238 00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:20,640 Speaker 2: This money was. 239 00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:23,800 Speaker 3: Supposed to help revitalize the CBD, but instead it's gone 240 00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:27,920 Speaker 3: to creating forty kilometer zones in East Melbourne and North Melbourne. 241 00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:30,120 Speaker 4: Adam, it's funny. I mean I saw this story and 242 00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:30,640 Speaker 4: I was shocked. 243 00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:32,480 Speaker 9: But one of my pet peeves about the city since 244 00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:35,240 Speaker 9: moving here from Sydney is the slow speed limits, especially 245 00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:37,200 Speaker 9: going from the airport to the CBD, where you've got 246 00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:39,840 Speaker 9: this beautiful highway and you can't go any faster than 247 00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:42,400 Speaker 9: eighty ks an hour. I mean, it doesn't make any sense. 248 00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:44,400 Speaker 9: And so this is forty k speed limit I mean 249 00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:46,440 Speaker 9: you'll almost be better off walking, which is the idea. 250 00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:49,040 Speaker 9: That's what they want to do. What it can't bikes, 251 00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:51,200 Speaker 9: That's right, they want everyone on bikes. So I think 252 00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:52,880 Speaker 9: that's just so embarrassing. I mean, if you want to 253 00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:55,640 Speaker 9: be a world city, you can't have forty k speed limits. 254 00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:56,280 Speaker 4: It's just a joke. 255 00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:58,560 Speaker 2: Adam crist And thank you so much for your time. 256 00:11:58,679 --> 00:11:59,280 Speaker 4: Thanks render. 257 00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:04,559 Speaker 3: Joining me now is steam geologist and author Professor Ian Primer. 258 00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:08,320 Speaker 3: Let's start with the shocking revelations that the City of 259 00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:12,080 Speaker 3: Melbourne spent around nine hundred thousand dollars on fifty four 260 00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:17,280 Speaker 3: memberships to environmental and social justice organizations in just one year. 261 00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:22,760 Speaker 3: These include the Carbon Neutral Cities Alliance, Diversity Council Australia, 262 00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:27,719 Speaker 3: the Hume City Council's Northern Alliance for Greenhouse Action, and 263 00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:31,080 Speaker 3: the City of Sydney is a City Switch Climate program, 264 00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:34,160 Speaker 3: many many others. In their end, is this a good 265 00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:35,600 Speaker 3: use of taxpayers money? 266 00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:36,640 Speaker 2: Ratepayers money? 267 00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:40,240 Speaker 12: Or when you walk around the streets of Melbourne, they're filthy, 268 00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:44,720 Speaker 12: there's rubbish everywhere, there are potholes. I would have thought 269 00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:47,560 Speaker 12: that their priority which to look after the City of 270 00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:52,120 Speaker 12: Melbourne rather than following their ideology. I'm surprised that on 271 00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:54,480 Speaker 12: that list there isn't a member ship to the Australian 272 00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:58,439 Speaker 12: Communist Party because that's exactly what they're doing. What an 273 00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:02,840 Speaker 12: appalling waste of money always happened every time Labor has 274 00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:05,720 Speaker 12: got the purse strings. They will spend money on their 275 00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:08,960 Speaker 12: little pet hobbies and not be concerned about the people 276 00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:10,160 Speaker 12: who actually pay them. 277 00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:13,120 Speaker 3: Well, it seems like they're using rate payers money to 278 00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:17,680 Speaker 3: prop up other city council's climate obsessions as well. There's 279 00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:21,559 Speaker 3: money here going to the Human City Council, Sydney City Council. 280 00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:23,240 Speaker 2: I don't know. 281 00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:26,400 Speaker 3: It does not pass the pup test in my eyes. 282 00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:29,160 Speaker 3: But let's go to Queensland and the Chris of Foley 283 00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:32,599 Speaker 3: government has dumped a billion dollar. 284 00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:34,040 Speaker 2: Wind farm project. 285 00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:37,640 Speaker 3: The Moonlight Range wind farm project is a go on. 286 00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:41,679 Speaker 3: It was said to be located forty kilometers northwest of Rockhampton. 287 00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:45,240 Speaker 2: And this decision comes in after five hundred. 288 00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:48,120 Speaker 3: And fifty submissions were received during the forty day public 289 00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:53,040 Speaker 3: consultation process. The overwhelming majority wanted a review despite the 290 00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:55,520 Speaker 3: fact that Labor had to approved this project. 291 00:13:56,480 --> 00:14:00,400 Speaker 12: Yes, well, this is people power at its best. These 292 00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:05,920 Speaker 12: wind industrial complexes. They're not farms actually destroyed large amounts 293 00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:09,680 Speaker 12: of the bush. They destroy wildlife. And it is not 294 00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:15,440 Speaker 12: the work of an environmentalist to flatten forests to put 295 00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:21,080 Speaker 12: in inefficient, unreliable energy environments. Shouldn't be killing off koala habitats. 296 00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:25,120 Speaker 12: And that's exactly what happened. And people power finally has won. 297 00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:27,680 Speaker 12: Now there were a dozen of these projects going on 298 00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:33,000 Speaker 12: around in Australia, Perfectly good farmland being destroyed by solar panels, 299 00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:36,640 Speaker 12: perfectly good farmland being criss crossed by whole high voltage 300 00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:39,920 Speaker 12: power lines and people can't use heavy equipment underneath it. 301 00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:44,400 Speaker 12: So it's about time that the people will listen to absolutely. 302 00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:47,440 Speaker 3: If you fly across Australia, you will see dozens of 303 00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:52,480 Speaker 3: these projects all across the countryside. Now the Country Liberal 304 00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:56,160 Speaker 3: Party in the NT has scrapped the previous Labor government's 305 00:14:56,200 --> 00:15:00,520 Speaker 3: renewable energy targets. The Labor government had pledged to fifty 306 00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:04,320 Speaker 3: percent of the Northern Territory is grid supplied by renewables 307 00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:08,480 Speaker 3: by twenty thirty, but eight years in there's only twenty 308 00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:12,880 Speaker 3: percent coming from renewables, and it seems like achieving that 309 00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:17,400 Speaker 3: fifty percent would cripple their economy would cost another five 310 00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:21,480 Speaker 3: billion in these targets, and not only unattainable, I would 311 00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:26,640 Speaker 3: argue they're entirely undesirable. Why were they ever committed to 312 00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:28,640 Speaker 3: it's just so economically reckless. 313 00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:31,920 Speaker 12: Well, we're seeing around the world now people are saying 314 00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:35,520 Speaker 12: we cannot achieve net zero. There was recently report done 315 00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:39,680 Speaker 12: in Finland showing that the closest thing to impossible is 316 00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:44,120 Speaker 12: actually net zero. You cannot achieve it. And then the 317 00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:46,920 Speaker 12: next step down is to cushcross the country with high 318 00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:50,040 Speaker 12: voltage power lines over very large distances, which you've got 319 00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:52,560 Speaker 12: in the Northern Territory. Now, just because you've got a 320 00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:56,200 Speaker 12: lot of sun doesn't mean you've got cheap electricity. What 321 00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:59,440 Speaker 12: you've got is the ability to generate electricity for a 322 00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:03,760 Speaker 12: few hours day, and then what do you do? 323 00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:05,400 Speaker 4: How do you keep the system running? 324 00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:08,120 Speaker 12: So I think people are finally waking up to the 325 00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:11,920 Speaker 12: common sense and finally waking up to the absolutely extraordinary 326 00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:16,800 Speaker 12: costs of running sol and wind in rural Australia and 327 00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:19,280 Speaker 12: areas without much population. 328 00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:22,800 Speaker 3: The IPA has been doing research on this issue for 329 00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:26,640 Speaker 3: some time now, and their latert starter shows that most 330 00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:31,680 Speaker 3: Australians want the government to prioritize affordability over achieving net 331 00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:32,640 Speaker 3: zero emissions. 332 00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:35,080 Speaker 2: Fifty six percent want. 333 00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:39,040 Speaker 3: Affordability to be the top priority, whilst twenty one percent 334 00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:42,280 Speaker 3: favor reaching net zero over lower prices. 335 00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:44,800 Speaker 2: And you can see that figure is actually increased. 336 00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:47,120 Speaker 3: Back in twenty twenty two, it was forty one percent 337 00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:51,840 Speaker 3: who wanted affordability prioritized. Now it's well over fifty percent. 338 00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:55,000 Speaker 3: And I guess that's the function of path prices going up. 339 00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:58,680 Speaker 3: People are waking up to the reality that more renewables 340 00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:00,680 Speaker 3: doesn't mean cheaper prices. 341 00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:03,920 Speaker 12: Well, we keep getting told that renewables are the cheapest 342 00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:07,480 Speaker 12: form of energy. That is a lie. People have only 343 00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:09,639 Speaker 12: got to look at the electricity bill to see that 344 00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:13,280 Speaker 12: renewables are crippling this country. And the more and more 345 00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:16,800 Speaker 12: renewables we put into the system, the more expensive it gets. 346 00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:20,679 Speaker 12: Now that state Victoria once had the cheapest power in 347 00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:25,040 Speaker 12: the world, and we have six thousand years of brown 348 00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:28,320 Speaker 12: coal in Victoria for generating electricity. 349 00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:29,120 Speaker 4: We're ignoring that. 350 00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:32,359 Speaker 12: And what happened is Victoria now is the most expensive 351 00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:35,359 Speaker 12: power in the world, and right across the world people 352 00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:40,040 Speaker 12: have realized this was a fundamental ideological error to rely 353 00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:44,040 Speaker 12: on wind and to rely on solar to actually keep 354 00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:45,840 Speaker 12: an industrial society going. 355 00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:48,720 Speaker 3: And in you're right around the world they are abandoning 356 00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:52,199 Speaker 3: this madness. Even New Zealand has abandoned its pursuit of 357 00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:57,320 Speaker 3: net zero. The edgisinn era policy is gone. They're now 358 00:17:57,359 --> 00:18:00,480 Speaker 3: investing one hundred and eighty five million in offshore gas 359 00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:04,960 Speaker 3: projects in their latest budget because guess what gas works well. 360 00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:07,399 Speaker 12: New Zealand's got the Taranaki Basin, which has been a 361 00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:10,480 Speaker 12: gas and oil producer for quite a long period of time. 362 00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:14,000 Speaker 12: New Zealand has some of the best quality coals in 363 00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:16,640 Speaker 12: the world on the west coast of the South Island 364 00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:23,159 Speaker 12: and that sequence of rocks extends offshore and associated with 365 00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:26,040 Speaker 12: that coal is gas. So New Zealand is doing the 366 00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:28,600 Speaker 12: right thing. There's only a certain amount of geothermal that 367 00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:31,119 Speaker 12: can get from New Zealand, and that is isolated parts 368 00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:33,520 Speaker 12: of the North Island and the rest has to come 369 00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:35,200 Speaker 12: from conventional fossil fuels. 370 00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:38,320 Speaker 3: Now, finally, before you go, I know we haven't talked 371 00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:40,400 Speaker 3: about Chris Bowen for a few weeks now and you've 372 00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:45,000 Speaker 3: missed him, but he's copped at almighty thrashing from a 373 00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:49,360 Speaker 3: priest for eating a bowl of pasta during Catholic Mass. Yes, 374 00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:53,000 Speaker 3: Chris Bowen arrived late to the religious ceremony before sitting 375 00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:57,240 Speaker 3: in his assigned seat in the front row and then stuffing. 376 00:18:56,840 --> 00:18:59,760 Speaker 2: His face with a bowl of pasta. During the rest 377 00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:00,680 Speaker 2: of the Mass. 378 00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:07,000 Speaker 3: The presiding priest, Reverend Anthony Freglance, was aghast, and he 379 00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:12,320 Speaker 3: finished his service by reminding his congregation Italian not to 380 00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:16,600 Speaker 3: eat during Mass. He told the Daily Telegraph, mister Bowen 381 00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:20,800 Speaker 3: needed to have more respect for the sacredness of the place. 382 00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:23,720 Speaker 3: When you arrive halfway through the service, you should go 383 00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:25,920 Speaker 3: to your place and be quiet, he said. 384 00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:30,000 Speaker 2: But Ian Chris Bowen claims he had no idea. It 385 00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:34,480 Speaker 2: was a mass. It was a mass service. So yeah, 386 00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:36,440 Speaker 2: that's that's Chris. 387 00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:38,680 Speaker 3: For he really has no idea what's happening. 388 00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:43,080 Speaker 12: He has no respect for people's hip pockets. Why should 389 00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:44,480 Speaker 12: he have respect in a church? 390 00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:46,040 Speaker 4: I do like it. 391 00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:48,360 Speaker 2: This is the most the funniest story of the day. 392 00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:52,520 Speaker 2: You've got to say, look at him, he's he is. 393 00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:56,040 Speaker 3: A hungry, hungry man. For see and blymer, Thank you 394 00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:58,679 Speaker 3: so much for your time today.

And you know, when I think about 399 00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:26,159 Speaker 3: the wonders of the natural world, I made it. They 400 00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:31,520 Speaker 3: think of puberty blockers, bottom surgery and other irreversible trans treatments, 401 00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:35,600 Speaker 3: don't you. Let's check what is happening at Yosemite National Park. 402 00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:39,199 Speaker 5: We carry the largest trans parade flag to ever be 403 00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:42,000 Speaker 5: flown in a national park and unfurled it on the 404 00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:45,360 Speaker 5: side of our cap to prove a point that trans 405 00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:49,959 Speaker 5: is natural. Trump administration and transphobes would love to have 406 00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:53,840 Speaker 5: you believe that being trans is unnatural. But species that 407 00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:56,560 Speaker 5: can transition sexes can be found on every continent and 408 00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:59,760 Speaker 5: in every ocean one planet Earth. They try to erase 409 00:20:59,840 --> 00:21:04,360 Speaker 5: us from government websites and education systems and libraries. So 410 00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:06,879 Speaker 5: we raised this flag higher than ever before. 411 00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:10,040 Speaker 3: Yes, thanks for ruining the photos of people who travel 412 00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:13,520 Speaker 3: to Yosemite for a once in a lifetime experience. That 413 00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:18,119 Speaker 3: unauthorized A little stunt was shut down by park authorities, 414 00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:22,840 Speaker 3: and the flag has been thankfully removed. Okay, from that 415 00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:27,160 Speaker 3: absurdity to another.

Then before he dropped. 510 00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:17,400 Speaker 16: Out, Annie Lynsky and Shavon Hughes did an amazing job 511 00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:21,200 Speaker 16: in their reporting and they should be heralded. 512 00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:22,040 Speaker 1: And I heralded them. 513 00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:23,840 Speaker 16: I had them on my show right after the debate 514 00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:25,600 Speaker 16: to talk about the great reporting. 515 00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:27,359 Speaker 10: But anyone to the debate. 516 00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:29,240 Speaker 7: But you did not put them on when they published 517 00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:31,320 Speaker 7: that story, which was before the debate. 518 00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:33,680 Speaker 16: Correct. I don't know what the booking situation was, but 519 00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:35,320 Speaker 16: it wasn't because I didn't want them. I'm sure I 520 00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:37,720 Speaker 16: will be the day Let's book. I'm sure I said 521 00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:38,520 Speaker 16: that day Let's book. 522 00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:39,280 Speaker 4: That did they? 523 00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:42,920 Speaker 7: Yeah, you put on a Democrat and you allowed the 524 00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:45,680 Speaker 7: Democrat to rip on the report as a Rupert Murdoch 525 00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:47,560 Speaker 7: sponsored hit piece. 526 00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:50,760 Speaker 4: No, No, it's just that we're going to do. 527 00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:54,240 Speaker 16: If we're going to do this, let's just stick to 528 00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:57,800 Speaker 16: the facts here, Okay, when there is a damnating report. 529 00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:01,000 Speaker 10: That's what I've been doing all along. I'm wondering about 530 00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:01,520 Speaker 10: what you just said. 531 00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:04,480 Speaker 7: Didn't dismiss the biggest story of the century when it 532 00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:07,280 Speaker 7: comes to presidential politics, and one of us did. 533 00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:09,119 Speaker 2: Oh that was beautiful, wasn't it. 534 00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:12,600 Speaker 3: And now you've got Jake Tappa out there, the Russian 535 00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:16,720 Speaker 3: collusion hoax spreader, the Biden cognitive decline cover up participant. 536 00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:20,960 Speaker 3: Now he wants the media to be aggressive about Donald 537 00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:22,040 Speaker 3: Trump's health. 538 00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:25,960 Speaker 8: Records, worry less about politeness when it comes to these 539 00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:30,200 Speaker 8: health issues, and needs to be even more aggressive when 540 00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:34,080 Speaker 8: it comes to demanding transparency on health issues when it 541 00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:38,200 Speaker 8: comes to the president. President Trump, while he appears healthy, 542 00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:41,720 Speaker 8: he has not been transparent about his health records. And 543 00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:43,760 Speaker 8: I think that that's something that the American people have 544 00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:44,320 Speaker 8: a rate. 545 00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:49,200 Speaker 3: To the audacity is breathtaking now to the WNBA. And 546 00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:52,520 Speaker 3: here is the woman that the Biden administration swapped for 547 00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:55,080 Speaker 3: the merchant of death after she got her self arrested 548 00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:58,800 Speaker 3: on drug charges in Russia. Here is Britney Grin now 549 00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:05,160 Speaker 3: on the bench seemingly mouthing trash and saying, effing white girl. 550 00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:10,600 Speaker 3: Could it been about Caitlin Clarkeye wonder? And here she 551 00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:15,040 Speaker 3: is in a postmatch interview just being a delight BG. 552 00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:17,600 Speaker 13: Right now you have ten points by rebounds. We see 553 00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:21,560 Speaker 13: that Atlanta dream as being veried. Right now, she's talking 554 00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:29,240 Speaker 13: to the reps about holding. We're going to send it 555 00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:30,280 Speaker 13: back to you guys. 556 00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:34,520 Speaker 3: And to make the league even less appealing, the Minnesota 557 00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:37,880 Speaker 3: Lynks decided to hold in front of a mostly empty stadium, 558 00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:41,480 Speaker 3: a moment of silence for George Floyd. You remember him, 559 00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:44,440 Speaker 3: the fella who died with a fatal level of ventanyl 560 00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:46,920 Speaker 3: in his system and who had a long record of 561 00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:49,520 Speaker 3: criminality and violence, including against women. 562 00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:53,040 Speaker 2: Yes, the w NBA thought this was a good idea. 563 00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:55,600 Speaker 17: Thank you guys for taking a minute to fire the 564 00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:59,720 Speaker 17: light George Boyle. George is a father, a brother, and. 565 00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:02,760 Speaker 5: Like every lie that. 566 00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:06,840 Speaker 17: Club meaning his death exposes the folls that are sellular 567 00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:11,080 Speaker 17: justice and criminal institutions today and his five year anniversary 568 00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:15,560 Speaker 17: reminds us that provides continue the final against criminal, racial, 569 00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:16,960 Speaker 17: and social injustices. 570 00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:26,240 Speaker 2: We cannot stay silent. 571 00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:29,760 Speaker 1: Every life deserves respect, indignity. Thank you. 572 00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:33,520 Speaker 3: Yes, every life should be respected, including the life of 573 00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:38,360 Speaker 3: Floyd's female victims. That includes the victim of an aggravated 574 00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:41,560 Speaker 3: robbery with a deadly weapon in which George Floyd and 575 00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:45,560 Speaker 3: five others forced their way into a woman's apartment and 576 00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:49,360 Speaker 3: where Floyd pushed a pistol against the abdomen of the 577 00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:54,240 Speaker 3: female victim, threatening her life. That's the character WNBA want 578 00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:58,040 Speaker 3: to elevate to hero status, deserving of a tribute on 579 00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:01,480 Speaker 3: the fifth anniversary of his death. Joining me now is 580 00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:07,320 Speaker 3: American Culture Project Senior fellow and school choice advocate Corey DeAngelis. 581 00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:13,600 Speaker 3: Corey is the WNBA determined to fail? Why doesn't want 582 00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:17,640 Speaker 3: to repel so much of its potential audience with this 583 00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:18,640 Speaker 3: sort of activism. 584 00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:22,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, the WNBA is burning itself into the ground with 585 00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:25,960 Speaker 1: these kind of publicity stunts. They should focus on sports, 586 00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:27,720 Speaker 1: but they're not so good at that, so I guess 587 00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:30,880 Speaker 1: they're focusing on all of this political ideology and getting 588 00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:33,040 Speaker 1: it onto the court. But look, you can't make this 589 00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:36,520 Speaker 1: stuff up. They've operated at a loss each year since 590 00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:40,160 Speaker 1: its inception about thirty years ago, and last year they 591 00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:44,120 Speaker 1: operated at about a fifty million dollar loss, about five 592 00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:49,000 Speaker 1: times the average loss each year in the WNBA. So 593 00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:54,080 Speaker 1: I mean, you just can't make this stuff up. And look, 594 00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:57,200 Speaker 1: the stadium is empty. You can see it on the screen. 595 00:30:57,880 --> 00:31:01,120 Speaker 1: Basically based on their track record of not having an audience. 596 00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:04,240 Speaker 1: They have a moment of silence basically every game. So 597 00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:07,440 Speaker 1: this is not so new, since's no one's there anyway. 598 00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:13,560 Speaker 3: Well, yes, there's involuntary moments of silence. And yet you've 599 00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:17,160 Speaker 3: got again the activism within the league from the players 600 00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:22,800 Speaker 3: pushing to have pay parity with male stars. But as 601 00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:25,680 Speaker 3: you've just explained, this is a league that doesn't make money. 602 00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:29,320 Speaker 3: So how can they possibly hope to boost the salaries 603 00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:32,120 Speaker 3: of their stars and have them to sort have them 604 00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:35,320 Speaker 3: have the sort of resources that the NBA players have. 605 00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:39,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean that's exactly right. You can't call for 606 00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:42,680 Speaker 1: equal pay when you don't have equal profitability. And the 607 00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:46,000 Speaker 1: NBA is just more interesting to watch, and this league 608 00:31:46,520 --> 00:31:48,840 Speaker 1: they don't know what they're doing. And they're taking these 609 00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:52,680 Speaker 1: political stunts to the court. They deserve everything that's coming 610 00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:55,280 Speaker 1: to them. They should they should shudder already, they should 611 00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:57,480 Speaker 1: have shut down a long time ago, with operating it 612 00:31:57,600 --> 00:32:02,600 Speaker 1: in three decades, having no profitability, having millions of dollars 613 00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:05,800 Speaker 1: and losses every single year. And so this is just 614 00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:09,560 Speaker 1: another reason why that we should not watch THEWNBA. 615 00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:12,960 Speaker 3: Corey, Let's talk about Harvard. Now, they're in a world 616 00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:16,240 Speaker 3: of paying. The Trump administration is not letting up on 617 00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:20,560 Speaker 3: holding the college responsible for its discriminatory practice, for its 618 00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:24,440 Speaker 3: tolerance of anti Semitism on its campus. 619 00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:26,480 Speaker 2: Tell me what the latest is here. 620 00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:30,880 Speaker 3: The federal funding cuts are going through and there are 621 00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:35,160 Speaker 3: attempts to ban international students from enrolling at Harvard. 622 00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:36,640 Speaker 12: Yeah. 623 00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:39,880 Speaker 1: Look, Harvard played stupid games. Now they're winning stupid prizes. 624 00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:43,240 Speaker 1: They're losing tons of money. Trump's already blocked billions and 625 00:32:43,320 --> 00:32:45,880 Speaker 1: billions of dollars from going to that university, which raises 626 00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:49,440 Speaker 1: the question, why would this elite institution that already has 627 00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:52,880 Speaker 1: a fifty three billion dollar endowment that are sitting on. 628 00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:57,040 Speaker 1: They charge students about sixty thousand dollars per year in tuition. 629 00:32:57,160 --> 00:32:59,920 Speaker 1: They they're flushed with cash. They have so much money, 630 00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:03,040 Speaker 1: why do they need a scent of taxpayer money to 631 00:33:03,160 --> 00:33:05,920 Speaker 1: begin with? So a lot of people didn't even realize 632 00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:10,080 Speaker 1: that they were getting so much taxpayer funding before this 633 00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:14,120 Speaker 1: whole debacle kind of unfolded. So a lot of people 634 00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:16,160 Speaker 1: are seeing that this was regressive to begin with, a 635 00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:18,520 Speaker 1: lot of people who will never go to college, who 636 00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:24,920 Speaker 1: are paying for the college activities of well off, well 637 00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:27,440 Speaker 1: to do people in the ivy leagues. It is just 638 00:33:27,560 --> 00:33:30,880 Speaker 1: preposterous to begin with. But Trump, I'm glad he's leaning 639 00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:33,680 Speaker 1: the way on this issue. These universities that are just 640 00:33:34,360 --> 00:33:39,560 Speaker 1: the ideological breeding grounds for left wing indoctrination, they shouldn't 641 00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:41,040 Speaker 1: get a scent of taxpayer money. 642 00:33:43,240 --> 00:33:46,600 Speaker 3: Well, you talked about being ideological breeding grounds for left 643 00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:50,000 Speaker 3: wing indoctrination, and the data bear is that out. Have 644 00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:53,239 Speaker 3: a look at this graph showing that Harvard is an 645 00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:57,040 Speaker 3: echo chamber. It's got less than three percent of its 646 00:33:57,080 --> 00:34:03,120 Speaker 3: faculty identifying as conservative, and seventy eight percent there are 647 00:34:03,320 --> 00:34:08,640 Speaker 3: left or very left. Around twenty percent say they are moderate, though, Corey, 648 00:34:08,719 --> 00:34:12,560 Speaker 3: I would imagine at Harvard calling yourself a moderate means 649 00:34:12,600 --> 00:34:14,520 Speaker 3: you're a socialist instead of a communist. 650 00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:18,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, the moderates are just Marxists who don't want to 651 00:34:18,239 --> 00:34:21,480 Speaker 1: admit it. At Harvard, so yeah, it's a one side institution. 652 00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:24,839 Speaker 1: Less than three percent identify as conservatives, and that's their 653 00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:29,080 Speaker 1: own student newspaper reporting this about their own faculty. So 654 00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:31,759 Speaker 1: this is a big deal and it shows that there 655 00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:36,839 Speaker 1: are more of a political organization than a educational organization. 656 00:34:37,200 --> 00:34:38,960 Speaker 1: And if you look at where the money goes, I 657 00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:41,960 Speaker 1: mean you look at Open Secrets, ninety five percent of 658 00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:46,200 Speaker 1: political contributions from people affiliated with Harvard University go to 659 00:34:46,280 --> 00:34:50,480 Speaker 1: Democrats each year. It's insane how one sided this is. 660 00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:53,600 Speaker 1: And they again, we should go further than pulling billions 661 00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:56,479 Speaker 1: of dollars in taxpayer money. We should revoke their tax 662 00:34:56,600 --> 00:34:59,040 Speaker 1: exempt status because of their political nature. 663 00:35:01,560 --> 00:35:04,880 Speaker 3: Now, Donald Trump's big beautiful bill, that's what it's called, 664 00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:08,600 Speaker 3: has passed the House and your passion project Corey. School 665 00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:12,320 Speaker 3: choice was one of the policy areas covered in the 666 00:35:12,680 --> 00:35:14,319 Speaker 3: Babay Bay tell me about that. 667 00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:17,839 Speaker 1: As this huge look. Trump won the parent vote by 668 00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:21,440 Speaker 1: nine points after campaigning on nationwide school choice and abolishing 669 00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:25,360 Speaker 1: the Department of Education. This is popular with the American public, 670 00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:29,760 Speaker 1: and red states right now are already passing school choice policies, 671 00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:33,000 Speaker 1: including my home state of Texas becoming the sixteenth state 672 00:35:33,400 --> 00:35:36,320 Speaker 1: to go all in on school choice. This package in 673 00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:39,400 Speaker 1: the Big Beautiful Bill, also includes a federal tax credit 674 00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:43,239 Speaker 1: which would supercharge that school choice momentum already happening in 675 00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:47,400 Speaker 1: the Republican controlled states. But it would also expand educational 676 00:35:47,480 --> 00:35:51,640 Speaker 1: opportunities to families in blue states like California and New York. 677 00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:55,160 Speaker 1: So this is a big win. It's five billion dollars, 678 00:35:55,280 --> 00:35:58,120 Speaker 1: it's a start, and hopefully once families get a taste 679 00:35:58,160 --> 00:36:00,880 Speaker 1: of school choice in those blue states will demand their 680 00:36:00,920 --> 00:36:03,400 Speaker 1: state legislatures go all into. 681 00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:11,120 Speaker 3: Now you mentioned the clear mandate that Trump has. He 682 00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:15,560 Speaker 3: campaigned on a platform of dramatic change, and part of 683 00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:20,080 Speaker 3: that was abolishing the Department of Education. But a federal 684 00:36:20,200 --> 00:36:24,000 Speaker 3: judge has now blocked the Trump administration from carrying out 685 00:36:24,160 --> 00:36:28,720 Speaker 3: the President's executive order to dismantle the Department of Education. 686 00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:30,640 Speaker 2: What else can you tell me about this? Does that 687 00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:32,719 Speaker 2: mean that policy is over? 688 00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:37,319 Speaker 1: This is the clearest example of judicial activism that I've 689 00:36:37,360 --> 00:36:40,520 Speaker 1: ever seen. This guy was appointed by Democrat Joe Biden. 690 00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:44,080 Speaker 1: He has a history of donating to the Democrat Party. 691 00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:47,880 Speaker 1: He's in lockstep with the teachers union doing their bidding. 692 00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:52,239 Speaker 1: Randy Weingarten, the head of the AFT, the largest teacher 693 00:36:52,239 --> 00:36:55,000 Speaker 1: re union in the country in the United States, she 694 00:36:55,200 --> 00:36:57,880 Speaker 1: celebrated the decision. She was the main plaintiff in the 695 00:36:57,960 --> 00:37:00,800 Speaker 1: decision as well. And so this is just protection of 696 00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:04,400 Speaker 1: special interest teachers unions more than anything else. But the 697 00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:07,800 Speaker 1: fight isn't over yet. This same judge, his last ruling 698 00:37:08,160 --> 00:37:12,759 Speaker 1: that was a pro dei racist ruling got overturned at 699 00:37:12,800 --> 00:37:16,279 Speaker 1: our US Supreme Court. I expect this one will also 700 00:37:16,360 --> 00:37:18,680 Speaker 1: get overturned as well. So Trump is still in the 701 00:37:18,760 --> 00:37:22,120 Speaker 1: fight here. This short term loss with judicial activism is 702 00:37:22,160 --> 00:37:23,720 Speaker 1: not going to make us lose. 703 00:37:23,600 --> 00:37:26,239 Speaker 3: The war, now, Corey, that does seem to be some 704 00:37:26,400 --> 00:37:29,840 Speaker 3: sort of a judicial insurrection happening at the moment in 705 00:37:29,920 --> 00:37:35,759 Speaker 3: the US. It seems every single policy is being frustrated 706 00:37:36,200 --> 00:37:40,800 Speaker 3: through the courts with these small time judges, activist judges 707 00:37:41,120 --> 00:37:44,520 Speaker 3: frustrating the Trump administration and not allowing it to press 708 00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:48,480 Speaker 3: ahead with its mandate. It may ultimately get overturned and 709 00:37:48,600 --> 00:37:52,239 Speaker 3: become policy, but in the meantime they're not doing what 710 00:37:52,360 --> 00:37:53,239 Speaker 3: they were elected to do. 711 00:37:54,840 --> 00:37:57,879 Speaker 1: That's right. They are more political pawns than judges. They're 712 00:37:57,920 --> 00:38:00,680 Speaker 1: supposed to be unbiased, they're supposed to follow the rule 713 00:38:00,719 --> 00:38:02,160 Speaker 1: of law, but they don't a lot of the times. 714 00:38:02,200 --> 00:38:05,560 Speaker 1: They're less accountable than the politicians and the legislature because 715 00:38:05,600 --> 00:38:07,840 Speaker 1: you can't vote them out. So this guy got appointed 716 00:38:07,880 --> 00:38:10,239 Speaker 1: by Joe Biden, and he's going to do whatever Joe 717 00:38:10,280 --> 00:38:13,120 Speaker 1: Biden wants him to do. And so this puts people 718 00:38:13,200 --> 00:38:15,680 Speaker 1: in limbo. It puts the American people in limbo, and 719 00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:18,600 Speaker 1: that's going to hurt the Democrats in the next election 720 00:38:18,840 --> 00:38:20,759 Speaker 1: because of all this back and forth. But at the 721 00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:24,240 Speaker 1: end of the day, the Conservatives control of the Supreme 722 00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:26,880 Speaker 1: Court most of the time here in the United States, 723 00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:30,279 Speaker 1: so I think will ultimately win the war, even if 724 00:38:30,320 --> 00:38:31,960 Speaker 1: we lose the battle in the short term. So the 725 00:38:32,040 --> 00:38:34,520 Speaker 1: Democrats are pulling out all the stops. They lose in 726 00:38:34,560 --> 00:38:37,480 Speaker 1: the legislature, so they fight it through the courts to 727 00:38:37,640 --> 00:38:40,120 Speaker 1: try to stop the will of the people, but they're 728 00:38:40,120 --> 00:38:41,719 Speaker 1: going to lose at the end of the day, and 729 00:38:41,800 --> 00:38:42,240 Speaker 1: so I'm. 730 00:38:42,120 --> 00:38:42,600 Speaker 4: Okay with that. 731 00:38:44,680 --> 00:38:49,040 Speaker 3: Well, parents had a win in California District Court there 732 00:38:49,520 --> 00:38:52,359 Speaker 3: has ruled that parents have the right to opt out 733 00:38:52,560 --> 00:38:56,959 Speaker 3: of gender identity ideology being presented to their kids. Most 734 00:38:57,040 --> 00:39:01,560 Speaker 3: Californian public schools prohibit parents from opting their children out 735 00:39:01,600 --> 00:39:06,520 Speaker 3: of these lessons. This is a positive move forward, particularly 736 00:39:06,560 --> 00:39:09,360 Speaker 3: in a state like California, which is the forefront of 737 00:39:09,480 --> 00:39:10,960 Speaker 3: so much of this madness story. 738 00:39:12,040 --> 00:39:14,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, this is a huge win. This judge ruled based 739 00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:18,480 Speaker 1: on the First Amendment to free speech that the school 740 00:39:18,800 --> 00:39:22,640 Speaker 1: was violating the First Amendment rights of parents by keeping 741 00:39:22,680 --> 00:39:25,080 Speaker 1: them in the dark, by not allowing them to opt out, 742 00:39:25,320 --> 00:39:30,239 Speaker 1: and by essentially using compelled government speech making kids learn 743 00:39:30,400 --> 00:39:34,560 Speaker 1: this about this gender ideology curriculum. Families now will be 744 00:39:34,640 --> 00:39:37,640 Speaker 1: able to have that information up front, and they will 745 00:39:37,640 --> 00:39:40,200 Speaker 1: also be able to opt out if they're not happy 746 00:39:40,320 --> 00:39:43,360 Speaker 1: with the values that are being instilled with their children. 747 00:39:43,520 --> 00:39:47,080 Speaker 1: So for this to happen in California, I'm very optimistic 748 00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:49,560 Speaker 1: this is going to spread to other states too. And 749 00:39:50,440 --> 00:39:51,800 Speaker 1: this is how it always should have been. But we 750 00:39:51,840 --> 00:39:54,200 Speaker 1: should take it a step further. You should obviously be 751 00:39:54,280 --> 00:39:56,120 Speaker 1: able to opt out of your kids school if it's 752 00:39:56,160 --> 00:39:58,560 Speaker 1: not alignment with your values, but you should also be 753 00:39:58,600 --> 00:40:00,680 Speaker 1: able to take that money with you you to another 754 00:40:00,800 --> 00:40:03,200 Speaker 1: school that is aligned with your values. This is a 755 00:40:03,239 --> 00:40:06,240 Speaker 1: great argument for school choice to have the money follow 756 00:40:06,280 --> 00:40:09,240 Speaker 1: the child to a school that best meets your needs. 757 00:40:09,680 --> 00:40:11,840 Speaker 3: Corideangelus, thanks so much for your time. 758 00:40:12,280 --> 00:40:14,640 Speaker 1: Hey, thank you so much for having me still to come. 759 00:40:14,880 --> 00:40:17,600 Speaker 3: Why Disney executives want the ladies have the need to 760 00:40:17,800 --> 00:40:20,000 Speaker 3: tone down their anti Trump hysteria. 761 00:40:20,320 --> 00:40:21,960 Speaker 2: Kinsey Schofield joins. 762 00:40:31,480 --> 00:40:36,160 Speaker 3: Welcome back joining me now, celebrity and royal commentator Kinsey Schofield. Kinsey, 763 00:40:36,239 --> 00:40:40,240 Speaker 3: Let's start with David and Victoria Beckham. They're reportedly upset 764 00:40:40,320 --> 00:40:44,040 Speaker 3: with their eldest son Brooklyn because he and wife Nikola 765 00:40:44,239 --> 00:40:48,640 Speaker 3: have befriended their former pals, Prince Harry and Meghan mark All. 766 00:40:48,719 --> 00:40:51,040 Speaker 2: Kinseywier. Why would that be a problem. 767 00:40:52,800 --> 00:40:55,200 Speaker 18: I think it's a problem because Harry and Meghan not 768 00:40:55,360 --> 00:40:58,160 Speaker 18: only have become such a toxic brand, and they realize 769 00:40:58,200 --> 00:41:01,560 Speaker 18: they're so savvy when it comes to Hollywood and when 770 00:41:01,600 --> 00:41:05,359 Speaker 18: it comes to Q scores, that they realized that any 771 00:41:05,400 --> 00:41:11,800 Speaker 18: association with Harry and Meghan lowers their value Brooklyn and Nicholas, 772 00:41:12,200 --> 00:41:14,880 Speaker 18: but also I just think that they are truly so 773 00:41:15,120 --> 00:41:18,439 Speaker 18: close to the British royal family. Today, David was named 774 00:41:18,480 --> 00:41:21,920 Speaker 18: ambassador for the King's Foundation and their bond was on 775 00:41:22,040 --> 00:41:25,040 Speaker 18: full display at the twenty twenty five Chelsea Flower Show, 776 00:41:25,320 --> 00:41:28,000 Speaker 18: where David and the King were joking about a birthday 777 00:41:28,040 --> 00:41:30,440 Speaker 18: gift the King had sent David Beckham. Remember this is 778 00:41:30,480 --> 00:41:33,720 Speaker 18: a man that waited in line to pay his respects 779 00:41:33,800 --> 00:41:37,680 Speaker 18: to Queen Elizabeth for eleven hours, David Beckham and I 780 00:41:37,800 --> 00:41:40,200 Speaker 18: think that he just wants to ensure that the British 781 00:41:40,239 --> 00:41:41,920 Speaker 18: royal family feels respected. 782 00:41:44,280 --> 00:41:47,879 Speaker 3: And I think there may also be fears that through 783 00:41:48,080 --> 00:41:51,840 Speaker 3: their son, unwittingly, information can get to Harry and Meghan 784 00:41:51,880 --> 00:41:54,520 Speaker 3: that will end up in a Netflix documentary or the 785 00:41:54,640 --> 00:41:58,279 Speaker 3: next book or podcast, and it's the last thing that 786 00:41:58,400 --> 00:42:00,600 Speaker 3: want to be doing to the Royals now. Harry and 787 00:42:00,640 --> 00:42:04,960 Speaker 3: Meghan have also been accused of hypocrisy after they restructured 788 00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:10,000 Speaker 3: their staff, creating what has been labeled the Montecito Royal Court. 789 00:42:10,200 --> 00:42:11,960 Speaker 2: What does that meg Kin see what's happening? 790 00:42:12,800 --> 00:42:15,560 Speaker 18: So it's just this new structure for their employees. But Rita, 791 00:42:15,640 --> 00:42:17,839 Speaker 18: I wish you had a picture of all of their 792 00:42:17,920 --> 00:42:21,160 Speaker 18: new employees because can I just tell you it looks 793 00:42:21,239 --> 00:42:23,759 Speaker 18: like a ditty white party. I've never seen such a 794 00:42:23,840 --> 00:42:27,480 Speaker 18: sea of white people. And if I were, you know, 795 00:42:27,880 --> 00:42:30,239 Speaker 18: if I were a troublemaker, I might accuse Harry and 796 00:42:30,320 --> 00:42:34,839 Speaker 18: Meghan of unconscious bias in the employment department, looking at 797 00:42:34,880 --> 00:42:37,439 Speaker 18: all the new faces that are coming on to work 798 00:42:37,800 --> 00:42:42,320 Speaker 18: for Harry and Meghan independently and together for their entertainment ventures. 799 00:42:42,360 --> 00:42:44,880 Speaker 18: And if history repeats itself as much as Harry wines 800 00:42:44,920 --> 00:42:47,800 Speaker 18: that it does, both Harry and Meghan will continue to 801 00:42:47,960 --> 00:42:50,480 Speaker 18: reject any and all sound advice and. 802 00:42:50,600 --> 00:42:53,120 Speaker 10: Will potentially treat their staff poorly. So good luck. 803 00:42:54,480 --> 00:42:58,520 Speaker 3: Now let's move on to the reports that the Disney 804 00:42:58,680 --> 00:43:02,360 Speaker 3: CEO and as well as the ABC News boss have. 805 00:43:02,520 --> 00:43:05,400 Speaker 2: Told the hosts of the View to dial. 806 00:43:05,320 --> 00:43:09,640 Speaker 3: Down the anti Trump commentary on their program. Kinsey calling 807 00:43:09,680 --> 00:43:14,840 Speaker 3: it anti Trump commentary barely covers it. It's unhinged hate 808 00:43:14,920 --> 00:43:17,640 Speaker 3: and hyperbole day in and day out. 809 00:43:18,920 --> 00:43:20,800 Speaker 18: And I'm sure it won't surprise you to know that 810 00:43:20,880 --> 00:43:24,120 Speaker 18: there has been some pushback from the host Now, Trump, 811 00:43:24,320 --> 00:43:28,000 Speaker 18: continuing his battle with the media, is in mediation right 812 00:43:28,040 --> 00:43:31,560 Speaker 18: now with Paramount Global over a twenty billion dollar lawsuit 813 00:43:31,840 --> 00:43:35,400 Speaker 18: regarding CBS News a sixty minutes interview with Kamala Harris. 814 00:43:35,680 --> 00:43:39,560 Speaker 18: He also recently secured fifteen million from ABC and an 815 00:43:39,600 --> 00:43:43,400 Speaker 18: apology over false claims by anchor George Stephanopolis. I know 816 00:43:43,520 --> 00:43:46,600 Speaker 18: he sued Meta before he sued X. He will chew 817 00:43:46,680 --> 00:43:49,799 Speaker 18: you up and spit you out if you clash with him. 818 00:43:50,080 --> 00:43:52,759 Speaker 18: ABC has learned the hard way, and they're trying to 819 00:43:52,840 --> 00:43:55,279 Speaker 18: avoid this going any further than it already has. 820 00:43:57,320 --> 00:43:59,439 Speaker 3: Well, you know what, they wanted to use law fair 821 00:43:59,560 --> 00:44:02,520 Speaker 3: to roy him. They shouldn't be surprised if some of 822 00:44:02,600 --> 00:44:04,759 Speaker 3: it comes back and they're going to be held to 823 00:44:04,840 --> 00:44:08,640 Speaker 3: account with some of the defamation rules in the country. Now, 824 00:44:09,120 --> 00:44:15,000 Speaker 3: Justin Baldoni talking about defamation, his legal team has retracted 825 00:44:15,120 --> 00:44:19,160 Speaker 3: their Tayler Swift subpoena in the legal fight with Blake 826 00:44:19,360 --> 00:44:20,440 Speaker 3: Lively Kinsey. 827 00:44:20,600 --> 00:44:21,759 Speaker 2: Why would they do that? 828 00:44:21,920 --> 00:44:26,399 Speaker 3: Why would Baldoni's legal team let Taylor Swift off the hook? 829 00:44:27,120 --> 00:44:30,440 Speaker 18: I'll tell you I because Taylor Swift's father, Scott Swift, 830 00:44:30,640 --> 00:44:34,200 Speaker 18: willingly provided the information that they were looking for as 831 00:44:34,280 --> 00:44:36,719 Speaker 18: part of a deal to prevent his daughter from any 832 00:44:36,800 --> 00:44:40,720 Speaker 18: further involvement with the Blake versus Justin drama. 833 00:44:41,080 --> 00:44:43,719 Speaker 10: So they had to agree to withdraw their subpoena. 834 00:44:43,840 --> 00:44:46,520 Speaker 18: And it's Taylor's father that stepped in and gave them 835 00:44:46,560 --> 00:44:51,160 Speaker 18: the requested information. Now, he also provided Justin Baldoni's team 836 00:44:51,200 --> 00:44:54,600 Speaker 18: with the bombshell claim that Blake Lively threatened to leak 837 00:44:54,640 --> 00:44:58,279 Speaker 18: his daughter's text messages if Taylor did not publicly support her. 838 00:44:59,080 --> 00:45:03,520 Speaker 18: This gives us exactly the perfect idea of how vicious 839 00:45:03,640 --> 00:45:06,160 Speaker 18: this truly has become behind the scenes. 840 00:45:08,360 --> 00:45:09,680 Speaker 2: Absolutely vicious. 841 00:45:09,880 --> 00:45:14,000 Speaker 3: And if that's accurate, If her father has done that, 842 00:45:14,280 --> 00:45:18,760 Speaker 3: then that friendship isn't just a little bit under strained, 843 00:45:18,880 --> 00:45:22,040 Speaker 3: it's well and truly done and dusted. If Taylor Swift 844 00:45:22,160 --> 00:45:26,160 Speaker 3: is being threatened with having years of her private text 845 00:45:26,280 --> 00:45:30,840 Speaker 3: messages release, that's pretty down and dirty. 846 00:45:32,480 --> 00:45:35,279 Speaker 18: Yeah, and Scott has defended her so much her father, 847 00:45:35,400 --> 00:45:40,000 Speaker 18: Taylor Swift's father is a savvy man. He financed her 848 00:45:40,280 --> 00:45:43,560 Speaker 18: entire career coming up. He has a lot to lose 849 00:45:43,960 --> 00:45:47,399 Speaker 18: if Taylor's reputation takes a hit because of Blake. That's 850 00:45:47,600 --> 00:45:50,520 Speaker 18: years and money down the drain that he's sacrificed. So 851 00:45:50,640 --> 00:45:52,440 Speaker 18: he is going to stand up and try to protect 852 00:45:52,480 --> 00:45:52,919 Speaker 18: his daughter. 853 00:45:55,320 --> 00:45:58,920 Speaker 3: I do wonder though, whether some damaging text messages over 854 00:45:58,960 --> 00:46:02,320 Speaker 3: the years may be leak. Doubt if the Blake Lively 855 00:46:02,480 --> 00:46:06,080 Speaker 3: side wants to retaliate. I mean, this is just this 856 00:46:06,880 --> 00:46:10,680 Speaker 3: battle was over nothing. They started a fight over something 857 00:46:10,760 --> 00:46:13,759 Speaker 3: that they should have just allowed to die down. It 858 00:46:13,760 --> 00:46:15,400 Speaker 3: would have been the story would have been done in 859 00:46:15,480 --> 00:46:18,920 Speaker 3: a week or two of Blake Lively being rather unpleasant, 860 00:46:19,360 --> 00:46:20,680 Speaker 3: unpleasant instead. 861 00:46:20,360 --> 00:46:21,960 Speaker 2: Of being America's golden girl. 862 00:46:22,600 --> 00:46:26,879 Speaker 3: And now it's this massive legal fight that is going 863 00:46:27,000 --> 00:46:32,160 Speaker 3: to absolutely drain their resources and completely damage their reputations. 864 00:46:32,920 --> 00:46:35,280 Speaker 2: Talking about damaged reputations. 865 00:46:34,960 --> 00:46:40,400 Speaker 3: Controversial model, when influencer Chrisy Teagan has reportedly undergone a 866 00:46:40,840 --> 00:46:46,120 Speaker 3: hairline procedure having her hairline surgically lower, it surely not 867 00:46:46,880 --> 00:46:47,719 Speaker 3: why would she do this? 868 00:46:49,200 --> 00:46:52,640 Speaker 18: Here's I have very limited commentary on this. I see 869 00:46:52,719 --> 00:46:58,000 Speaker 18: Christy Tigan America's favorite Saberably, she doesn't need a new hairline. 870 00:46:58,160 --> 00:46:59,399 Speaker 10: She needs an exorcism. 871 00:47:00,400 --> 00:47:03,040 Speaker 18: I feel like she had the wrong procedure done. She 872 00:47:03,200 --> 00:47:04,279 Speaker 18: needs an exorcism. 873 00:47:08,200 --> 00:47:11,040 Speaker 3: Wow, this is it's actually fairly major surgery. 874 00:47:11,120 --> 00:47:12,320 Speaker 2: I'm shocked she would do that. 875 00:47:12,480 --> 00:47:14,359 Speaker 3: Gosh, I mean just I don't know where a little 876 00:47:14,640 --> 00:47:19,279 Speaker 3: hair extension piece much easier, uh, Milania Trump. She's used 877 00:47:19,320 --> 00:47:24,080 Speaker 3: AI in a very clever fashion. It's voicing her audio 878 00:47:24,200 --> 00:47:27,440 Speaker 3: built book. She's used AI to narrate the audio book, 879 00:47:27,680 --> 00:47:29,440 Speaker 3: but in her own voice. 880 00:47:30,360 --> 00:47:31,960 Speaker 2: Tell me about this, Kinsey. I don't know if this 881 00:47:32,080 --> 00:47:32,640 Speaker 2: was possible. 882 00:47:33,480 --> 00:47:36,400 Speaker 10: Yeah, I think it's like seven hours. And this is 883 00:47:36,560 --> 00:47:38,760 Speaker 10: forward thinking. You know that moves. 884 00:47:39,800 --> 00:47:42,279 Speaker 18: I think it moves the first lady in at the 885 00:47:42,360 --> 00:47:47,360 Speaker 18: forefront of publishing innovation. And the reason why I'm so 886 00:47:47,480 --> 00:47:50,879 Speaker 18: excited about this is because this she at the same 887 00:47:51,000 --> 00:47:55,560 Speaker 18: time she is fighting a revenge porn, she's fighting people 888 00:47:55,760 --> 00:47:59,440 Speaker 18: using AI to create inappropriate content. 889 00:47:59,800 --> 00:48:02,400 Speaker 10: So you under it. You see that she appreciates what 890 00:48:02,520 --> 00:48:03,719 Speaker 10: it's capable of doing. 891 00:48:04,080 --> 00:48:06,880 Speaker 18: But she's also trying to jump ahead of any problems 892 00:48:06,960 --> 00:48:08,400 Speaker 18: and stop them before they happen. 893 00:48:10,760 --> 00:48:11,840 Speaker 2: And just before you go. 894 00:48:12,280 --> 00:48:15,239 Speaker 3: There's speculation as to who the new James Bond is 895 00:48:15,360 --> 00:48:18,960 Speaker 3: going to be. Actor Henry Golding has said that James 896 00:48:19,040 --> 00:48:21,759 Speaker 3: Bond should remain a white British male to. 897 00:48:21,800 --> 00:48:23,520 Speaker 2: Be faithful to the source material. 898 00:48:23,640 --> 00:48:26,160 Speaker 3: However, he said that if he was asked to be 899 00:48:26,560 --> 00:48:29,759 Speaker 3: Daniel Craig's successor, he would be an idiot to turn 900 00:48:29,840 --> 00:48:30,279 Speaker 3: it down. 901 00:48:30,480 --> 00:48:31,360 Speaker 4: What do we have? 902 00:48:31,480 --> 00:48:32,960 Speaker 2: You got a tip for me? Who's going to be 903 00:48:33,000 --> 00:48:33,960 Speaker 2: the next James Bond? 904 00:48:34,680 --> 00:48:34,839 Speaker 11: Oh? 905 00:48:34,960 --> 00:48:36,720 Speaker 18: I don't know who's going to I have no clue. 906 00:48:37,040 --> 00:48:39,320 Speaker 18: But Henry Golding, what a great answer. I love that 907 00:48:39,400 --> 00:48:42,040 Speaker 18: he didn't to go woke, so he's getting all my money. 908 00:48:42,120 --> 00:48:47,360 Speaker 3: He won't go broke, No, absolutely, you know what, I'd 909 00:48:47,400 --> 00:48:49,600 Speaker 3: be happy to see it be him if he's If 910 00:48:49,640 --> 00:48:51,920 Speaker 3: that's the argument at KINSI Schofield, thank you. 911 00:48:52,000 --> 00:48:54,759 Speaker 2: So much for your time tonight, and that's all the 912 00:48:54,920 --> 00:48:55,719 Speaker 2: time we've got. 913 00:48:55,760 --> 00:48:58,120 Speaker 3: I'll see you at eleven tomorrow and I don't go 914 00:48:58,239 --> 00:48:59,920 Speaker 3: anywhere Near's night is up neck 915 00:49:03,880 --> 00:49:04,000 Speaker 6: Si
