Labor indulges in more disinformation online as the 5 00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:19,680 Speaker 3: party's social media campaign intensifies in the lead up to 6 00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:22,600 Speaker 3: the federal election. Patrick Carline will be here to discuss 7 00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:25,479 Speaker 3: that and much more. The new South Wales Minister for 8 00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:30,040 Speaker 3: Women flounders when asked about malebodies in women's sport. Stephanie 9 00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:33,880 Speaker 3: Bastian joins me later in the hour. Kosher Gator will 10 00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:37,840 Speaker 3: weigh in on whether Malcolm Turnbull's attention seeking antics will 11 00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:41,880 Speaker 3: cost Australia as we negotiate a tariff exemption with the US. 12 00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:44,960 Speaker 3: And Alex Stein will be here right after left he 13 00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:49,200 Speaker 3: is losing it Tonight starring the word salads specialist herself, 14 00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:51,400 Speaker 3: Kamala Harris. 15 00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:54,959 Speaker 4: And I'm thinking about this about so I was. 16 00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:58,880 Speaker 3: Willing to give up whatever might be the tracking. 17 00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:04,800 Speaker 4: Kamala Harris's particular fondness for a notch of chief doritos. 18 00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:10,600 Speaker 3: Yes, but first, if this poll is right, the Tills 19 00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:14,720 Speaker 3: are in a world of trouble. Polling from fresh Water 20 00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:18,039 Speaker 3: Strategy has indicated that four of the six Climate two 21 00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:21,679 Speaker 3: hundred backed MPs are likely to lose their seats at 22 00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:25,080 Speaker 3: the next election amid a collapse in support for Labour 23 00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:28,399 Speaker 3: and the Greens, whose preferences the Tills rely on. In 24 00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:33,039 Speaker 3: curtain Keong, Goldstein and mckella, the Liberals are back on 25 00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:37,399 Speaker 3: top with an average two party preferred vote of fifty 26 00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:40,120 Speaker 3: one to forty nine against the Tills, and if this 27 00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:43,399 Speaker 3: is replicated during the election, the Coalition would boot out 28 00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:48,560 Speaker 3: Kate Cheney, Nique Ryan z O'Daniel and Sophie Scamps from Parliament, 29 00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:52,520 Speaker 3: leaving just Allegra Spender and Zali Steggle to represent the Tills. 30 00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:55,520 Speaker 3: Joining me now for more on this is News Corps 31 00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:59,240 Speaker 3: senior writer Patrick Carly and Patrick is this the end 32 00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:00,480 Speaker 3: of the Tills ex experiment? 33 00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:03,720 Speaker 5: It's an interesting poll, isn't it, Because it basically it 34 00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:05,960 Speaker 5: goes to the fact that in twenty twenty two we 35 00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:09,079 Speaker 5: were talking about much different things to now. Cost of 36 00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:12,200 Speaker 5: living wasn't the main issue. We weren't talking about economic management. 37 00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:15,799 Speaker 5: We're talking more about climate change. And there was also 38 00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:18,840 Speaker 5: this visceral sort of dislike for Scott Morrison in the electorate. 39 00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:21,840 Speaker 5: So the TiAl sort of cashed in on a moment 40 00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:24,040 Speaker 5: in time, if you like, and it was very successful. 41 00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:27,919 Speaker 5: They got six seats. The world has changed dramatically since then. 42 00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:32,080 Speaker 5: The Labor and the Green vote has dropped the primary vote, 43 00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:34,120 Speaker 5: and you can see, you can actually see how this 44 00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:37,640 Speaker 5: might actually play out, where the tials, even though their 45 00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:40,280 Speaker 5: voters stayed much you're saying the preferences will work against them. 46 00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:44,400 Speaker 5: They could be wiped out effectively. Companies election, and I. 47 00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:49,240 Speaker 3: Think people have discovered that they're not conservative alternatives, which 48 00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:52,920 Speaker 3: is how they sold themselves. It was deeply dishonest, which 49 00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:55,359 Speaker 3: is pretty ironic given that one of the other big 50 00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:58,240 Speaker 3: issues the last election was integrity. Remember it was all 51 00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:03,400 Speaker 3: about integrity and climate, and they were presenting themselves as 52 00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:07,600 Speaker 3: an alternative for liberal voters. But anyone who looked at 53 00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:10,960 Speaker 3: who they were and what their policies were, they pretty 54 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,320 Speaker 3: much fit into the Greens. They're certainly in my mind, 55 00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:17,000 Speaker 3: left of the Labor Party. And I think Simon Holmes, 56 00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:19,400 Speaker 3: the court has done a beautiful job for the Liberals 57 00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:23,800 Speaker 3: getting rid of all those wets, all those smaller liberals 58 00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:26,720 Speaker 3: they were compromising the party. So I think in the 59 00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:29,640 Speaker 3: long run it's a big win for conservatives all around. 60 00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:32,720 Speaker 3: Now let's have a look at how Labour's social media 61 00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:37,600 Speaker 3: campaign is going. Housing Minister Cla O'Neill and a bunch 62 00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:41,360 Speaker 3: of her colleagues have served up this. 63 00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:46,080 Speaker 6: I will not be lectured about sexism and misogyny by 64 00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:46,800 Speaker 6: this man. 65 00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:49,960 Speaker 3: I will not and the government not be. 66 00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:53,440 Speaker 6: Lectured about saying and misogyny. 67 00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:55,800 Speaker 3: By this man. Not now, not ever. 68 00:03:56,200 --> 00:04:00,320 Speaker 6: The leader of the Opposition says that people who hold sexes. 69 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:01,280 Speaker 7: Views and are. 70 00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:06,040 Speaker 6: Not appropriate for high office. Well, I hope the Leader 71 00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:08,880 Speaker 6: the Opposition has got a piece of paper and he 72 00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:12,520 Speaker 6: is writing out his insignation because he wants to know 73 00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:15,480 Speaker 6: what misogyny looks like in Australia. 74 00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:18,680 Speaker 3: And he doesn't need emotion. You know how this rerecumcenter is. 75 00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:27,440 Speaker 3: He needs a mir Dear me, you think Tanya Plima 76 00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:31,320 Speaker 3: sec would know better, but there's a bunch of Labor ministers, 77 00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:37,839 Speaker 3: their MPs. That's the infamous Julia Gillard misogyny speech which 78 00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:41,880 Speaker 3: a man wrote for her. And listening to that now 79 00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:45,800 Speaker 3: and knowing the circumstances, and we knew the circumstances of 80 00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:48,320 Speaker 3: the time, but I think, how do you think that 81 00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:52,320 Speaker 3: speech is age? Listening to those ladies' lip sync? It 82 00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:55,680 Speaker 3: is it one that the left will be proud to 83 00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:59,039 Speaker 3: promote or is it now got a certain element of 84 00:04:59,080 --> 00:04:59,880 Speaker 3: cringe to it. 85 00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:02,200 Speaker 2: Look, it was wrapped up in the politics of the day. 86 00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:05,080 Speaker 5: It was aimed squarely at Tony Abbott, who was opposition 87 00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:08,320 Speaker 5: leader at the time. It was in twenty twelve. Yeah, 88 00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:11,080 Speaker 5: obviously a long time ago. I'm not sure how relevant 89 00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:15,000 Speaker 5: how it's dated now. It was an important thing in 90 00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:19,320 Speaker 5: the moment, but actually running it out now apparently for 91 00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:20,960 Speaker 5: no strong reason. 92 00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:24,839 Speaker 3: I could only think it would be International Women's Day 93 00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:27,520 Speaker 3: that decided, of all the things that could promote that 94 00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:31,200 Speaker 3: was it. And what happened shortly after twenty twelve at 95 00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:35,280 Speaker 3: a federal election and they lost in an absolute landslide 96 00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:37,440 Speaker 3: to Tony Abbots. So maybe that would indicate to them 97 00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:41,360 Speaker 3: outside the media circles, the academic circles, the activist circles, 98 00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:44,760 Speaker 3: that speech did not resonate. That speech was seen for 99 00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:49,280 Speaker 3: what it was. It was just a diversion from the 100 00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:52,880 Speaker 3: woes of the Qaali Guillard and her government at the time. 101 00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:54,760 Speaker 5: And I think to try and weaponize it now as 102 00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:57,200 Speaker 5: a party political sort of instrument, if you like, it 103 00:05:57,279 --> 00:06:00,960 Speaker 5: really doesn't resonate at all. Back at that speech and 104 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:03,880 Speaker 5: you can argue the toss wasn't this important or that important. 105 00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:06,279 Speaker 2: It was a big deal at the time, but it's 106 00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:07,360 Speaker 2: ancient history now. 107 00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:09,880 Speaker 5: It has no sort of relevance to what's going on 108 00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:13,839 Speaker 5: in society today, certainly on a details level. 109 00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:17,400 Speaker 2: It just it doesn't work at all. I don't think now. 110 00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:19,560 Speaker 2: It sounds like it happened a long time ago. 111 00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:23,320 Speaker 3: It does. But what a Labor also gone back to 112 00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:27,800 Speaker 3: is their medi Scare campaign, and it was successful for 113 00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:32,200 Speaker 3: them last time. It certainly had an impact, and they're 114 00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:37,360 Speaker 3: doing it again. They're promoting what is essentially disinformation, misinformation 115 00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:40,760 Speaker 3: across social media. Let's have a look at their ad. 116 00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:42,159 Speaker 2: We're very clear about this. 117 00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:45,760 Speaker 8: Medicare is dead. They can't be for free. We have 118 00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:48,800 Speaker 8: to pay for a world class medical system. We are 119 00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:51,600 Speaker 8: determined to send a price signal so that we can 120 00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:53,919 Speaker 8: move away from the view that everything can be for 121 00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,159 Speaker 8: free in health in this country because it can't be. 122 00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:59,800 Speaker 3: Sounds pretty damning. You got Peter Dutton. They're saying Medicare 123 00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:03,680 Speaker 3: is dead, but what he actually say, Let's have a 124 00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:05,000 Speaker 3: look at the full clip. 125 00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:08,080 Speaker 8: So the government is determined to make sure that Medicare 126 00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:11,080 Speaker 8: is sustainable. We are determined to send a price signal 127 00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:13,760 Speaker 8: so that we can move away from the view that 128 00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:16,200 Speaker 8: everything can be for free in health in this country 129 00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:16,960 Speaker 8: because it can't be. 130 00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:19,080 Speaker 2: We're very clear about this. 131 00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:23,360 Speaker 8: Medicare is dead if we can't make it sustainable today. 132 00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:28,040 Speaker 8: But we are absolutely determined to make Medicare sustainable so 133 00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:30,800 Speaker 8: the Labor Party can pretend to the Australian public that 134 00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:33,360 Speaker 8: things are for free. They can't be for free. We 135 00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:36,200 Speaker 8: have to pay for a world class medical system. We 136 00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:39,920 Speaker 8: will negotiate with the Senators. We are pragmatic about the 137 00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:43,120 Speaker 8: approaches that might be available to us, but we will 138 00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:44,440 Speaker 8: make Medicare sustainable. 139 00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:50,440 Speaker 3: That was just straight out just disinformation. There's no other 140 00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:52,360 Speaker 3: word for it. And it's pretty rich for a party 141 00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:56,840 Speaker 3: that bleeds endlessly about disinformation, that wants to suppress our 142 00:07:56,880 --> 00:08:00,680 Speaker 3: free speech, supposedly to protect us from disinformed, and they 143 00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:03,480 Speaker 3: pump that out. And that's a paid Facebook ad, So 144 00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:08,240 Speaker 3: it's not only appearing on TikTok and LinkedIn a whole 145 00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:11,600 Speaker 3: bunch of other sites, but it's actually paid and promoted 146 00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:14,640 Speaker 3: on Facebook. So I'm sure hundreds of thousands of people 147 00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:16,120 Speaker 3: have probably seen it by now. 148 00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:19,480 Speaker 5: Absolutely look they've cheated, they've misrepresented what he was trying 149 00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:22,840 Speaker 5: to say, and they've completely taken it out of context. 150 00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:26,440 Speaker 5: That wasn't what he was trying to say at all. 151 00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:28,560 Speaker 5: I think we're going to say more and more of this, 152 00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:30,600 Speaker 5: especially in this social media age. I mean, you can 153 00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:33,400 Speaker 5: get away with things that you can't in the mainstream press. 154 00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:36,880 Speaker 5: You can sort of make claims that can get some 155 00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:40,080 Speaker 5: purchase if you like, with the electorate in ways that 156 00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:43,520 Speaker 5: the mainstream press you can't do. And I'm sure we 157 00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:45,760 Speaker 5: will see more and more of this where they're just 158 00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:48,400 Speaker 5: trying it on and hoping that it actually lands to 159 00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:51,240 Speaker 5: an extent before it gets removed or called out or whatever. 160 00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:53,679 Speaker 5: And look, it's not good for politics, and it's not 161 00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:55,440 Speaker 5: good for debate because it is cheating. 162 00:08:55,840 --> 00:09:00,240 Speaker 3: Well it is. It's just so deeply dishonest, and you know, 163 00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:03,200 Speaker 3: Labour parties should be better than that. Now, let's go 164 00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:06,280 Speaker 3: to a Quantus chair John Mullen, who's warned that companies 165 00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:11,280 Speaker 3: should steer clear of involving themselves in social causes. Quantus 166 00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:13,600 Speaker 3: has of course been guilty of doing that for many, 167 00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:19,080 Speaker 3: many years, and Patrick they still inflict those incessant acknowledge 168 00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:22,040 Speaker 3: amount of country announcements every time one of their planes 169 00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:25,600 Speaker 3: lands domestically. I know there's plenty of staff who resent 170 00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:30,120 Speaker 3: having to do it, but they're obliged to. Perhaps I 171 00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:32,080 Speaker 3: don't know that the chair could have a word to 172 00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:36,480 Speaker 3: his own CEO the board and actually take his own advice. 173 00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:38,760 Speaker 2: Look what John Mullen had to say. 174 00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:41,040 Speaker 5: I mean, it's a breath of fresh air after so 175 00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:44,160 Speaker 5: many years of having these big companies trying to sort 176 00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:47,200 Speaker 5: of read the breeze and sort of go on a 177 00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:50,280 Speaker 5: social issue that a lot of people sort of silently 178 00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:52,360 Speaker 5: have been forced to sort of grumble about and say, wow, 179 00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:55,600 Speaker 5: I don't agree with that. John Mullen makes a good point. 180 00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:57,560 Speaker 5: He talks about the regions that don't like big city 181 00:09:57,559 --> 00:10:01,360 Speaker 5: elites imposing values on them and telling them how to think, 182 00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:04,280 Speaker 5: and he use the word lecturing. These big companies can't 183 00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:07,320 Speaker 5: lecture Australians. We don't want to be lectured. We don't 184 00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:10,000 Speaker 5: want to be told what to think. I think this 185 00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:13,160 Speaker 5: is so welcome to hear a CEO actually saying this 186 00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:17,480 Speaker 5: after so many years of actually being force fared this 187 00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:20,720 Speaker 5: big company nonsense, which is about you know, it's about 188 00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:23,360 Speaker 5: sort of getting people on side. It's about sort of 189 00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:27,160 Speaker 5: being on the right side of history. What mister Mullen 190 00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:29,920 Speaker 5: used the term just do the knitting and in this 191 00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:31,319 Speaker 5: case just fly planes. 192 00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:33,760 Speaker 2: I don't care what qunscious thinks about this or that 193 00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:35,080 Speaker 2: I have no interest for them. 194 00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:39,200 Speaker 3: That is, I think a very widely held opinion. Whatever 195 00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:43,440 Speaker 3: side of politics you're from, you want your corporates to 196 00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:45,600 Speaker 3: stick to their knitting, do what they're supposed to do, 197 00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:47,960 Speaker 3: and do it well, take care of their staff, take 198 00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:51,960 Speaker 3: care of their customers, and leave the politics to the politicians. 199 00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:54,520 Speaker 3: Patrick Carline, thank you so much for your time tonight. 200 00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:59,080 Speaker 3: Joining me now is Sky News contributor Kosher Gaeta Kosher. 201 00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:03,400 Speaker 3: Let's start with Malcolm Turnbull, the feud between Malcolm Turnbull 202 00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:07,400 Speaker 3: and US President Donald Trump. Now the prime minister. The 203 00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:10,080 Speaker 3: former prime minister did start this war of words with 204 00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:15,080 Speaker 3: some ill advised attention seeking. He was on US TV 205 00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:17,960 Speaker 3: just doing what he does, not sure what he was 206 00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:21,160 Speaker 3: trying to achieve there, but in response, President Trump posted 207 00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:24,760 Speaker 3: this on truth Social saying, Malcolm Turnbull, the former Prime 208 00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:28,520 Speaker 3: Minister of Australia, who was always leading that wonderful country 209 00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:33,040 Speaker 3: from behind, never understood what was going on in China 210 00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:35,679 Speaker 3: nor did he have the capacity to do so? I 211 00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:39,080 Speaker 3: always thought he was a week an ineffective leader, and 212 00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:43,280 Speaker 3: obviously Australians agreed with me, Yes we did. And Turnbull 213 00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:46,680 Speaker 3: then went on the ABC. Of course he did, and 214 00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:48,520 Speaker 3: he had this to say. 215 00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:52,400 Speaker 9: Are we just going to become just a conger line 216 00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:55,160 Speaker 9: of sycophants creeping through the White House? 217 00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:58,720 Speaker 3: Oh dear, you can just know he rehearsed those lines 218 00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:01,960 Speaker 3: in front of the mirror. What will this attention seeking 219 00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:05,840 Speaker 3: by the former prime minister do to our negotiations with 220 00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:10,679 Speaker 3: the US. We do want this tariff exemption. Will this 221 00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:14,840 Speaker 3: hurt or hinder that? Or will have absolutely no impact? 222 00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:17,920 Speaker 10: I think it certainly doesn't help. Is it the core driver? 223 00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:22,120 Speaker 10: Probably not. That's economic policy and where Team Trump stands 224 00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:25,120 Speaker 10: on that. But these things don't help Trump. We know, 225 00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:28,480 Speaker 10: I think everybody, but especially him, is a beast of 226 00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:31,840 Speaker 10: policy and personality. Whether it's Zelenski in the Ukraine, who 227 00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:34,240 Speaker 10: he doesn't have a lot of fondness for, whether it's 228 00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:36,400 Speaker 10: people over here, whether it's Kevin Rudd, who we know 229 00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:39,240 Speaker 10: has sparred with him as well. This just adds to that. 230 00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:41,960 Speaker 10: It's probably not good form for former prime ministers to 231 00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:44,559 Speaker 10: come in and muddy the waters anyways, is making the 232 00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:49,320 Speaker 10: job difficult of the current administration, and most people will 233 00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:51,439 Speaker 10: never win against Trump in a war of words. It 234 00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:53,840 Speaker 10: just will never win. So it's just better to keep 235 00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:56,000 Speaker 10: quiet and let the administration do what it's doing. 236 00:12:56,440 --> 00:13:00,560 Speaker 3: And as he said previously, he's holding all the right 237 00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:03,280 Speaker 3: Now we're the ones who are wanting something, So I 238 00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:06,880 Speaker 3: would suggest let's just be a little bit more diplomatic 239 00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:10,000 Speaker 3: for the time being. Now, let's talk about the horrific 240 00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:14,080 Speaker 3: scenes in Syria of armed men loyal to the government 241 00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:20,040 Speaker 3: rounding up religious minorities, torturing, slaughtering them. They talking about 242 00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:25,880 Speaker 3: purifying the country as they kill men, women, and children Kosher. 243 00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:31,319 Speaker 3: This was sadly predictable. We've seen tyrants removed in countries 244 00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:35,880 Speaker 3: like Iraq and Libya to be replaced by something even worse, 245 00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:40,640 Speaker 3: And is that what's happening now in Syria appears to. 246 00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:44,960 Speaker 10: Be predictable predicted. Many people on camera repeatedly have said 247 00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:47,240 Speaker 10: this and called for this over the years, Trump and Tossa. 248 00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:51,760 Speaker 10: Gabbert being two more prominent examples. And you know, the 249 00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:53,480 Speaker 10: US is at a cross roads in terms of its 250 00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:57,360 Speaker 10: foreign policy approach and We've had the forty fifty years 251 00:13:57,360 --> 00:14:00,200 Speaker 10: of policing the world and beating the world, inviting the 252 00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:02,880 Speaker 10: world in through immigration, and now we're breaking away from 253 00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:06,240 Speaker 10: that clearly with Trump and his team about non interventionalism. 254 00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:09,720 Speaker 10: And one reason is just economic that we're stretched too 255 00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:11,560 Speaker 10: thin and it's really none of our business to be 256 00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:14,120 Speaker 10: doing that when there's so many domestic problems. The other 257 00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:16,240 Speaker 10: reason is what you're seeing here, that we live in 258 00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:19,720 Speaker 10: very complicated world, and often the choice between leaders in 259 00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:21,800 Speaker 10: these hot spots is not between good and evil, but 260 00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:24,520 Speaker 10: it's between bad and worse. And we go in removing 261 00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:27,200 Speaker 10: the quote bad guy, and often you have no idea 262 00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:28,960 Speaker 10: who's on the other side, or what's going to happen, 263 00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:31,440 Speaker 10: and which types of actors are going to fill that void, 264 00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:33,640 Speaker 10: and then you just create a bigger mess, which further 265 00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:35,880 Speaker 10: supports the argument of the other side that wants a 266 00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:38,160 Speaker 10: US to keep policing and invading, and then that downward 267 00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:41,600 Speaker 10: spiral continues. I don't know what Trump administration is going 268 00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:44,200 Speaker 10: to do here because they inherited this mess, but it 269 00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:47,920 Speaker 10: looks like they are going to stick to less interventionalism. 270 00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:47,640 Speaker 2: Not more. 271 00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:51,760 Speaker 3: Well, there's some foreign policy experts, some former leaders who 272 00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:54,360 Speaker 3: look like absolute fools in the moment, the ones who 273 00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:57,480 Speaker 3: celebrated what happened in Syria just a few weeks ago, 274 00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:01,640 Speaker 3: as if it was the dawn of some uiege of democracy, 275 00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:05,880 Speaker 3: not looking at who was actually seizing power. And you 276 00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:08,240 Speaker 3: mentioned Tulsa Gabbert. It was only a couple of months 277 00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:10,600 Speaker 3: ago that she warned about what could occur. 278 00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:14,360 Speaker 11: No tears for the fall of the Assad regime. But 279 00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:18,520 Speaker 11: today we have an Islamist extremist who is now in 280 00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:21,760 Speaker 11: charge of Syria, as I said, who danced on the 281 00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:24,600 Speaker 11: streets to celebrate the nine to eleven attack. 282 00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:27,240 Speaker 3: Who ruled over it, lived with. 283 00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:31,920 Speaker 11: An Islamist extremist governance, and who has already begun to 284 00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:36,560 Speaker 11: persecute and kill and arrest religious minorities like Christians in Syria. 285 00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:39,160 Speaker 3: I understood why that should be acceptable to anyone is 286 00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:43,440 Speaker 3: beyond me. And Donald Trump was warning about this some 287 00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:44,640 Speaker 3: ten years ago. 288 00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:47,360 Speaker 12: So I've watched Assad, and I've watched a little bit 289 00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:48,240 Speaker 12: on the other side. 290 00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:50,120 Speaker 2: The problem is the other side of the side. We 291 00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:51,160 Speaker 2: have no idea who they are. 292 00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:54,480 Speaker 12: They probably are Racis, I'm saying, are we beent off 293 00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:57,000 Speaker 12: with a sad We have no idea who these people are. 294 00:15:57,160 --> 00:15:59,400 Speaker 12: We give them weapons, we give them ammunition, we give 295 00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:02,440 Speaker 12: them everything. Erin, we have no idea who I mean. 296 00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:04,000 Speaker 12: Maybe it's worse than a side. 297 00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:06,360 Speaker 2: So what are we doing? Why are we involved? 298 00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:09,520 Speaker 12: We have to get rid of ices very importantly. But 299 00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:12,120 Speaker 12: I look at Aside, and Aside to me looks better 300 00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:13,280 Speaker 12: than the other side. 301 00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:14,800 Speaker 2: And you know, this has happened before. 302 00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:17,600 Speaker 12: We back a certain side and that side turns out to. 303 00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:19,000 Speaker 3: Be a total catastrophe. 304 00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:22,240 Speaker 12: Russia likes Aside seemingly a lot. 305 00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:24,840 Speaker 3: Kosher. I think it was Tony Abbott who said it's 306 00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:28,720 Speaker 3: baddies versus baddies. We're talking about Syria, and sadly, no, 307 00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:31,560 Speaker 3: it might seem simplistic, but it's the reality of what's 308 00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:34,280 Speaker 3: happening there, and the West just keeps making the same 309 00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:38,240 Speaker 3: mistake over and over again. Now, meanwhile, in Romania, the 310 00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:43,080 Speaker 3: leading candidate there, Kulin Djesku, has been banned from running 311 00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:47,520 Speaker 3: in the upcoming presidential election in May. Kosher, this is 312 00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:52,400 Speaker 3: a NATO nation, This is supposed to be a democratic nation. 313 00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:56,240 Speaker 3: But this candidate won the first round that was deemed 314 00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:59,320 Speaker 3: illegitimates for some reason, they were claiming there was Russian 315 00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:04,359 Speaker 3: interference so now banned from running the front runner. 316 00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:07,680 Speaker 10: This is pretty stunning development. And when you do things 317 00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:11,000 Speaker 10: like that, you null an election that was conducted freely 318 00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:14,479 Speaker 10: and then you ban the candidate from running again. It 319 00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:17,640 Speaker 10: is not a consequence free action that they're taking over here, 320 00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:20,240 Speaker 10: because what they're doing is creating a pressure quiker environment 321 00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:22,720 Speaker 10: in the nation where at least a certain faction of 322 00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:26,159 Speaker 10: the citizenry is having a lid put on their demands 323 00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:28,480 Speaker 10: and there is no venue for them to address their grievances. 324 00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:30,320 Speaker 10: That is not going to end well. It never does 325 00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:32,399 Speaker 10: when you look throughout the span of history and you 326 00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:35,359 Speaker 10: can see protests right now happening in Romania, people taking 327 00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:37,719 Speaker 10: to the streets, so you know, buckle up from more 328 00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:40,200 Speaker 10: unrest and hopefully, you know, worse things could happen. 329 00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:40,960 Speaker 3: We hope not. 330 00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:44,480 Speaker 10: It also very much validates Jade Vance and the comments 331 00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:47,479 Speaker 10: he's been making in Munich and other venues recently about 332 00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:51,639 Speaker 10: why are we underwriting so called democracies in Europe? And 333 00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:54,240 Speaker 10: this phrase, you know, let's not be a threat to democracy, 334 00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:57,840 Speaker 10: let's defend democracy has become a chant almost and the 335 00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:00,399 Speaker 10: louder they chanted it's because these things are happening in 336 00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:03,520 Speaker 10: these European countries and others, and the whole world can see. 337 00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:07,479 Speaker 3: It absolutely, and I think the Trump administration is watching 338 00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:11,600 Speaker 3: on very closely here now, the Democrats are coming out 339 00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:15,840 Speaker 3: in support of a pro Palestinian activist blamed for some 340 00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:20,240 Speaker 3: of the violent protests at Columbia University. The Trumpet administration 341 00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:23,520 Speaker 3: wants to deport this character, but the Democrats are fighting 342 00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:26,240 Speaker 3: for him to stay in the US. And earlier today 343 00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:32,480 Speaker 3: a federal judge did temporarily block Mumwood Khalil's deportation and 344 00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:35,879 Speaker 3: it's been arrested over the weekend by immigration agents. Kosher 345 00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:40,560 Speaker 3: I just cannot believe the Democrats would come out and 346 00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:45,560 Speaker 3: try to protect this guy from deportation. I mean, how 347 00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:53,639 Speaker 3: crazy can you get? Just as far as electoral popularity 348 00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:56,159 Speaker 3: you are in politics, you do want to appeal to 349 00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:59,239 Speaker 3: the American people, and we know where they stand on 350 00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:03,480 Speaker 3: this to try to stop the deportation of someone who's 351 00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:06,240 Speaker 3: coming to the country. He's causing trouble. We've seen the 352 00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:10,679 Speaker 3: violent protests at Columbia University. What's the thinking behind this 353 00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:11,560 Speaker 3: with the Democrats? 354 00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:14,520 Speaker 10: So politically it's not a good move, and you know 355 00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:16,360 Speaker 10: there are all these memes all over the internet where 356 00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:19,520 Speaker 10: they wouldn't stand for the boy who was fighting cancer 357 00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:23,159 Speaker 10: for fifteen year old doing chand or for Lake and 358 00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:26,240 Speaker 10: Riley's parents or family members and others, and then over 359 00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:28,760 Speaker 10: here going to town on this. So politically, I think 360 00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:30,080 Speaker 10: it is a big problem because they're. 361 00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:31,439 Speaker 3: Out of step with what people want. 362 00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:33,720 Speaker 10: Where this issue gets a little bit interesting, and it's 363 00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:36,400 Speaker 10: actually one of the fewer Trump's bases splitting a little bit, 364 00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:39,280 Speaker 10: is what are the two forces at place? So one 365 00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:44,520 Speaker 10: is zero tolerance for illegal behavior by immigrants, certainly illegal immigrants, 366 00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:47,960 Speaker 10: but also legal immigrants like this person, and really using 367 00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:50,280 Speaker 10: the full weight of deportation power to deport them. The 368 00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:53,000 Speaker 10: other is free speech, which is a big value obviously 369 00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:56,280 Speaker 10: in the Trump base, And there are questions about legally 370 00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:58,520 Speaker 10: what did this person actually do and if it was 371 00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:01,800 Speaker 10: just limited to speech and so as vile and unhinged 372 00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:05,040 Speaker 10: as they may be, that is constitutionally protected right either us, 373 00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:06,959 Speaker 10: or did he do something more? Does he have some 374 00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:09,240 Speaker 10: actual ties where he was eating in a batting hamas 375 00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:12,639 Speaker 10: in which case he violated some terrorism laws and that 376 00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:14,679 Speaker 10: would be the thing. So I think the judge is 377 00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:18,439 Speaker 10: trying to adjudicate that this judge might have something to 378 00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:21,240 Speaker 10: stand on, unlike all the other unhinged judges who are 379 00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:24,160 Speaker 10: just rushing to challenge Trump's Article two powers. 380 00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:25,280 Speaker 3: But we shall see. 381 00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:27,639 Speaker 10: We probably don't know everything that the government has on 382 00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:29,680 Speaker 10: this person. And I think this story will continue to develop. 383 00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:33,199 Speaker 3: But that comparison between them taking a stand for this 384 00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:38,320 Speaker 3: character but not people who've been victims of their policies, 385 00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:41,960 Speaker 3: like in Riley's parents, I mean, it just speaks volumes 386 00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:45,760 Speaker 3: and kosher. The Democrats are in all sorts of troubled 387 00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:51,400 Speaker 3: political analysts. Van Jones summed up their current situation on CNN, 388 00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:53,679 Speaker 3: and he is from the left, but he is sane 389 00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:54,639 Speaker 3: enough to realize this. 390 00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:57,960 Speaker 13: Can we talk about Ukraine? 391 00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:00,479 Speaker 1: Look, man, we're screwed. 392 00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:01,119 Speaker 3: I mean, we don't know. 393 00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:02,720 Speaker 13: No Democrats don't know what to do. 394 00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:04,280 Speaker 3: This is a nightmare. 395 00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:08,720 Speaker 13: The Democratic Party is going through a massive set of 396 00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:13,040 Speaker 13: internal crises. You have a party that got trapped two ways. 397 00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:19,960 Speaker 13: One defending a broken status quo that nobody likes because 398 00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:21,800 Speaker 13: they thought that Donald Trump was going to make it worse. 399 00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:23,960 Speaker 13: But when you're defending a status quote, you're going to 400 00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:27,680 Speaker 13: lose and then offending most people in the country, calling 401 00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:31,200 Speaker 13: everybody's sexist and racist and transphobic and every other name, 402 00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:33,720 Speaker 13: and then say please follow us. That's not a good 403 00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:35,280 Speaker 13: strategy for it. 404 00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:37,840 Speaker 3: Makes an obvious point there, But they are in a 405 00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:40,480 Speaker 3: crisis at the moment and they've got to get there 406 00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:43,679 Speaker 3: act together because the midterms aren't that far white. You 407 00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:44,600 Speaker 3: need to be prepared. 408 00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:47,879 Speaker 10: He evangelines can be siged from time to time. You 409 00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:51,919 Speaker 10: see the talk Mber of honesty over there, and I 410 00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:53,880 Speaker 10: think it had worked for them for a period of time. 411 00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:56,320 Speaker 10: Trying to paint to the other side is irredeemable, going 412 00:21:56,359 --> 00:21:58,639 Speaker 10: back to Hillary Clinton and everything they did against Trump, 413 00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:03,200 Speaker 10: as well as maybe defending this idea that the other side, 414 00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:06,199 Speaker 10: the Democrats side, is more normal and less chaotic, and 415 00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:09,199 Speaker 10: that whole line worked for period. So they keep doing that, 416 00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:12,000 Speaker 10: but it didn't this time. It didn't last very long. 417 00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:14,679 Speaker 10: They've been beaten back and they don't really seem to 418 00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:16,760 Speaker 10: have a leader too Like right now, it's hard to 419 00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:18,560 Speaker 10: know who is the leader of the Democrat Party that 420 00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:21,320 Speaker 10: can corral them and heard the cats and align. 421 00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:21,760 Speaker 3: On one message. 422 00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:24,360 Speaker 10: So they're out there in the wilderness, but not for long. 423 00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:27,040 Speaker 10: I'm sure they will regroup and come back with a vengeance. 424 00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:30,680 Speaker 3: Koshigeta, Thanks so much for your time. Tonight, still to come, 425 00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:42,320 Speaker 3: Lefty's losing it. You're watching the Raida Panty Show, and 426 00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:46,240 Speaker 3: it's time for lefties losing it. We've got something unbelievable 427 00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:49,199 Speaker 3: from the ladies of the view shortly. But let's start 428 00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:52,560 Speaker 3: with a woman who the media told you was qualified 429 00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:57,240 Speaker 3: to be president, the woman they painted as competent and inspiring. 430 00:22:57,840 --> 00:22:59,960 Speaker 3: Here is Kamala being Kamala. 431 00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:07,600 Speaker 14: So we did door dash because I wanted Doritos, and 432 00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:10,360 Speaker 14: it was they were about the Red Carpet Partners Bobster. 433 00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:12,879 Speaker 14: Nobody wanted to leave to go to the grocery store, 434 00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:14,600 Speaker 14: so it was door dash. 435 00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:19,480 Speaker 4: And I'm thinking about this about so I. 436 00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:23,800 Speaker 3: Was willing to give up whatever might be the tracking. 437 00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:30,879 Speaker 4: Of Karmala Harris's particular fondness for nacho cheese Doritos for 438 00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:33,720 Speaker 4: the sake of getting a big bag of Dorito's as 439 00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:35,159 Speaker 4: I watched the oscars. 440 00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:40,480 Speaker 3: That is just my numbing. I think I lost twenty 441 00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:44,040 Speaker 3: to thirty IQ points just just listening to that. Now, 442 00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:48,240 Speaker 3: let's hear from aging British pop star Bob Geldoff. He 443 00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:52,439 Speaker 3: goes on an unhinged trump rant, spelling all sorts of 444 00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:56,800 Speaker 3: lies and hyperbole and nonsense about Donald Trump and Elon 445 00:23:56,880 --> 00:24:01,320 Speaker 3: Musk literally taking food from the mouth of starving children. 446 00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:04,399 Speaker 3: He says, he really is too old to be this thick. 447 00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:07,879 Speaker 15: Creeps like Trump and Musk have sucked out all of 448 00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:11,280 Speaker 15: that generosity out of the air. You know, the most 449 00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:14,719 Speaker 15: powerful man on the planet, the richest man in the world, 450 00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:19,320 Speaker 15: have decided to take away any of the life support 451 00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:22,280 Speaker 15: systems of the most fun of the poorest children on 452 00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:25,800 Speaker 15: the planet, quite literally, take the last food from their mouth, 453 00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:29,080 Speaker 15: quite literally, take the bandages of the gang raped woman 454 00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:34,520 Speaker 15: quite literally, stop aids five minute eights sufferers getting their 455 00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:37,080 Speaker 15: things so they will die in a matter of weeks. 456 00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:40,320 Speaker 2: This is the usaid. This is Trump and Musk and 457 00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:41,480 Speaker 2: all those other creeps. 458 00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:44,359 Speaker 3: Now, if you're ever in any doubt about just how 459 00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:49,400 Speaker 3: intellectually baron, how exceptionally stupid the view co hosts are, 460 00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:54,120 Speaker 3: then watch this performance from Woopee Goldberg re named Karen Johnson, 461 00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:58,399 Speaker 3: as she explains to transactivist still in Mulvainy, she doesn't 462 00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:02,359 Speaker 3: understand why anyone could have any issue with men in 463 00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:03,280 Speaker 3: women's sports. 464 00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:05,479 Speaker 16: I wanted to ask you because there's been all of 465 00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:10,960 Speaker 16: this debate about whether transgender athletes should be able to compete, 466 00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:15,720 Speaker 16: and last week California Governor Gavin Newsom said that he 467 00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:20,160 Speaker 16: thinks that trans athletes competing in girls and women's sports 468 00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:22,119 Speaker 16: was deeply unfair. 469 00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:25,840 Speaker 3: Oh, she wasn't done yet. Then she explains that men 470 00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:29,320 Speaker 3: don't really have a physical advantage when competing in women's 471 00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:30,400 Speaker 3: sporting competitions. 472 00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:33,359 Speaker 16: When you come in and you say, oh, you know 473 00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:39,200 Speaker 16: these men, these are men, you know, competing competing against women, 474 00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:42,720 Speaker 16: you're assuming that the women are weak and. 475 00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:43,879 Speaker 3: Just can't do anything. 476 00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:48,760 Speaker 11: Have you seen female athletes? 477 00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:50,040 Speaker 3: They know what they're doing. 478 00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:54,240 Speaker 16: So I'm not sure what's going on or why this. 479 00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:57,640 Speaker 3: Is an issue. I think even Dylan Mulvaaney was wondering 480 00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:00,159 Speaker 3: what the hell she was talking about there. If you 481 00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:02,800 Speaker 3: don't know what's going on, woopee, you don't know why 482 00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:05,399 Speaker 3: this is an issue. Have you been hiding in a 483 00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:07,840 Speaker 3: cave for the past decade when this issue has been 484 00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:11,680 Speaker 3: discussed at length? You think just because female athletes are 485 00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:15,159 Speaker 3: stronger and faster than the average female, that they have 486 00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:19,280 Speaker 3: no issue competing with male bodies. Are you crazy? You 487 00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:23,200 Speaker 3: do realize that female gold medalists at the Olympics would 488 00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:27,800 Speaker 3: be beaten easily by the top high school track athletes. 489 00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:31,639 Speaker 3: Easily by the top high school male track athletes.

This isn't what real women do. 497 00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:59,160 Speaker 3: It's a good time. God, this is best in my life? 498 00:26:59,160 --> 00:26:59,800 Speaker 2: Have you international? 499 00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:00,440 Speaker 18: Good? 500 00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:02,560 Speaker 7: Be'st the International Women's. 501 00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:05,560 Speaker 19: Day everb I got to do my hormone injection, which 502 00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:07,359 Speaker 19: we love the hormones, but we do not like the. 503 00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:09,359 Speaker 3: Nausea that accompanies the hormones. 504 00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:11,520 Speaker 11: And I have a long drive to the airport, so 505 00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:13,440 Speaker 11: wish you luck. 506 00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:15,840 Speaker 4: That's going to be rough. 507 00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:21,040 Speaker 3: Now the leftist media, activist and propagandas who championed Joe 508 00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:25,360 Speaker 3: Biden for years are finally telling the truth about what 509 00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:28,720 Speaker 3: sort of man he really is. Listen here as Chuck 510 00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:32,200 Speaker 3: Todd tells us what he really thinks. 511 00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:36,720 Speaker 1: And when I realized that not one, not two, but 512 00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:42,080 Speaker 1: three Biden children, and I count Bo's widow. We're all 513 00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:47,679 Speaker 1: dealing with drug problems. In twenty eighteen and Joe Biden 514 00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:49,920 Speaker 1: and Joe Biden said, now's a perfect time to run 515 00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:52,840 Speaker 1: for president because who cares about our family. I have 516 00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:56,400 Speaker 1: to tell you something about Joe Biden. There's this mythology 517 00:27:56,440 --> 00:28:00,280 Speaker 1: about Joe Biden that the man cared so much, told 518 00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:05,119 Speaker 1: that he was this incredible family man, and instead what 519 00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:09,040 Speaker 1: he really was was a craven political animal that never 520 00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:12,360 Speaker 1: it was desperate. The man considered or ran for president 521 00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:15,080 Speaker 1: every four years he was eligible. You know why he 522 00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:18,320 Speaker 1: didn't run in seventy six. He wasn't thirty five. Yet, 523 00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:19,600 Speaker 1: that's totally reason. 524 00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:24,040 Speaker 3: I don't recall hearing that frankness, that honesty during Chuck 525 00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:28,320 Speaker 3: Todd's many many years at NBC. But he wasn't just 526 00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:33,359 Speaker 3: Chuck Todd. Then Stage four teds sufferer Steve Schmidt joined in, 527 00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:38,320 Speaker 3: saying that he doesn't even trust Joe Biden's children to babysit. 528 00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:41,080 Speaker 19: What I said to the group that made them gasp, 529 00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:44,720 Speaker 19: I said, I have five kids, and if I had 530 00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:48,120 Speaker 19: to leave twelve year old alone, how to leave the 531 00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:53,200 Speaker 19: kids with someone, and my choices are Hunter Biden for 532 00:28:53,400 --> 00:29:00,400 Speaker 19: Ashley Biden or Don Junior and Eric and Laura's Trump 533 00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:05,160 Speaker 19: Like I'm dropping the kids off at Don and Eric 534 00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:06,520 Speaker 19: in Laura's house. 535 00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:10,760 Speaker 3: Wow, if only these two were forthcoming with this sort 536 00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:13,760 Speaker 3: of information when it actually mattered. Joining me now is 537 00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:17,640 Speaker 3: comedian and host of Prime Time with Alex Stein on 538 00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:22,320 Speaker 3: Blaze TV. Alex. The cowardice of these leftist activists, some 539 00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:25,800 Speaker 3: of the masquerading as journalists, is astounding. What's even the 540 00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:26,880 Speaker 3: point of saying all this? 541 00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:30,720 Speaker 20: Now, Well, if you look at Chuck Todd, I believe 542 00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:33,640 Speaker 20: he worked at NBC for eighteen years, and I think 543 00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:36,480 Speaker 20: that he was let go in January because you know, 544 00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:39,960 Speaker 20: obviously he was trying to keep the mainstream narrative that 545 00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:43,800 Speaker 20: Joe Biden was competent for office, when in reality, everybody 546 00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:46,120 Speaker 20: knew that Hunter Biden was a drug addict. Everybody knew 547 00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:49,200 Speaker 20: that Joe Biden was basically a deadbeat dad for lack 548 00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:51,720 Speaker 20: of a better word, and they had to lie to 549 00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:54,520 Speaker 20: try to paint a picture that he was a competent president. 550 00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:57,880 Speaker 20: And now Chuck Todd is realizing, listen, I lied. My 551 00:29:57,920 --> 00:30:01,760 Speaker 20: integrity is totally gone. So he's doing this to save face, 552 00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:04,640 Speaker 20: and that's why he's all of a sudden changes tune. 553 00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:07,400 Speaker 20: So I didn't blame the first time, and really, I 554 00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:09,160 Speaker 20: honestly don't trust what he's saying now either. 555 00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:14,160 Speaker 3: Well, yeah, because it wasn't just that Joe Biden was competent, 556 00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:15,880 Speaker 3: that was the only lie they were telling. They were 557 00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:20,280 Speaker 3: also telling us he was this warm, loving father and 558 00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:24,960 Speaker 3: grandfather who let's not forget that he doesn't even acknowledge 559 00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:28,640 Speaker 3: one of his own grandchildren, little girl down in Arkansas. 560 00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:32,480 Speaker 3: Now to the Democrats, new darling, she's the new AOC. 561 00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:34,320 Speaker 3: So you might have a crush on her because I 562 00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:38,360 Speaker 3: know you like AOC, Alex And she's been saying plenty 563 00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:43,760 Speaker 3: about immigration, illegal immigration. She doesn't even think it's illegal. 564 00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:48,360 Speaker 6: It is not a criminal violation to enter the country illegally. 565 00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:51,160 Speaker 3: It's not a criminal, it's crime. 566 00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:51,920 Speaker 13: It's not a crime. 567 00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:56,719 Speaker 3: It's Jasmine Crockett. She's pining herself quite a profile, and 568 00:30:56,800 --> 00:30:59,120 Speaker 3: she's dead wrong because it is a crime. You think 569 00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:02,440 Speaker 3: a congressman would know that here is borders, Tom Homan, 570 00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:03,040 Speaker 3: is it. 571 00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:06,880 Speaker 5: A crime or a misdemeanor to enter the country illegally? 572 00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:10,360 Speaker 18: It's a crime to under country illegally and in the 573 00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:13,320 Speaker 18: title United States called thirteen twenty five. And it's really 574 00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:16,400 Speaker 18: really pathetic that any member of Congress don't understand what 575 00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:18,240 Speaker 18: the law says. They wrote, the law they enacted, the 576 00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:21,200 Speaker 18: law are signed by president is a criminal violation in 577 00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:24,480 Speaker 18: the country illegally, if you've ventured a big prior, it's 578 00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:25,040 Speaker 18: a felony. 579 00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:30,160 Speaker 3: Alex. The Democrats continue to rail against the deportation policy. 580 00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:35,560 Speaker 3: It's hardly a winning strategy, no way read. 581 00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:37,800 Speaker 20: It's definitely not a winning strategy. And you know, Jasmine 582 00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:40,320 Speaker 20: Crockett is actually the representative of the district that I 583 00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:43,320 Speaker 20: have in office in so it's really sad that you 584 00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:46,240 Speaker 20: even got elected. It's obviously it's in South Dallas. It's 585 00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:49,840 Speaker 20: a predominantly African American lower income area. Not realizing that 586 00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:52,480 Speaker 20: just coming into the country illegally is a crime. That 587 00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:54,880 Speaker 20: shows you that you don't have to pass an IQ 588 00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:57,959 Speaker 20: test to become a congresswoman. You can just win based 589 00:31:57,960 --> 00:31:59,800 Speaker 20: on either the color of your skin or because of 590 00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:02,080 Speaker 20: the that you act. And you know, you win an 591 00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:04,320 Speaker 20: election in a place where the voters are going to 592 00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:06,360 Speaker 20: be favorable to you, But it does not mean that 593 00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:08,400 Speaker 20: she's smart and I think that the more she talks, 594 00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:12,680 Speaker 20: the more we realize, you know, how dumb Jasmincrorackett really is. 595 00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:14,160 Speaker 20: And I hate to call her that, but I think 596 00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:16,360 Speaker 20: it's just obvious with her statements saying that when a 597 00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:19,560 Speaker 20: person comes into our country illegally, they're not committing a crime. 598 00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:22,400 Speaker 20: It's just a very basic simple concept. You come in 599 00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:24,960 Speaker 20: here illegally, that's a crime. You're a criminal. I don't 600 00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:26,760 Speaker 20: know why this is so complicated and hard for them 601 00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:27,360 Speaker 20: to understand. 602 00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:31,800 Speaker 3: I don't know if she's dumb or not, but she 603 00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:35,080 Speaker 3: may have watched AOC say plenty of dumb stuff and 604 00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:38,920 Speaker 3: see her profile rise and and her influence within the 605 00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:42,160 Speaker 3: party increase. So maybe she just wants to replicate that. 606 00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:46,080 Speaker 3: We'll see now the Left cannot help themselves, Alex. There 607 00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:49,760 Speaker 3: appears to be no self control, no sense of decorum. 608 00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:54,160 Speaker 3: What chare is Activists harass Vice President jd Vance as 609 00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:57,040 Speaker 3: he walks with his three year old daughter near their 610 00:32:57,040 --> 00:33:01,280 Speaker 3: home in Ohio. He very graciously offers them a few 611 00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:04,720 Speaker 3: minutes of his time to talk about what's troubling them, 612 00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:07,480 Speaker 3: if they will leave him and his daughter alone. 613 00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:18,800 Speaker 17: Dam And, I told you, I talked to you to 614 00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:21,680 Speaker 17: have people run around in yell and they talk to you. 615 00:33:21,720 --> 00:33:23,840 Speaker 20: And I had said, if I talked to him, you. 616 00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:26,520 Speaker 11: Know, it's three old god alone, and you see me accident. 617 00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:28,200 Speaker 6: So I'd like you guys respect. 618 00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:32,160 Speaker 3: The Vice President tweeted, saying that it was a mostly 619 00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:36,320 Speaker 3: respectful conversation. But if you're chasing a three year old 620 00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:38,840 Speaker 3: as part of your political protest, you're a shit person. 621 00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:42,560 Speaker 3: This is not the way Alex to convince politicians, and 622 00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:45,600 Speaker 3: I don't think it's the way to convince the general 623 00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:50,400 Speaker 3: public about the righteous righteousness of your cause if you 624 00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:53,080 Speaker 3: do that, because no one wants to see a three 625 00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:55,960 Speaker 3: year old be distressed by this sort of behavior. 626 00:33:57,480 --> 00:34:01,120 Speaker 20: Oh exactly, you're exactly corrected. And you know there's a 627 00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:02,640 Speaker 20: saying when you give him a mouse of cookie, you 628 00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:03,440 Speaker 20: got to give him milk. 629 00:34:03,560 --> 00:34:03,760 Speaker 7: You know. 630 00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:04,080 Speaker 2: JD. 631 00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:06,800 Speaker 20: Vanswers more than gracious to even give them a moment 632 00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:09,480 Speaker 20: to speak and have a conversation with him. And of 633 00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:12,399 Speaker 20: course they can't just have the conversation and be over. 634 00:34:12,600 --> 00:34:14,359 Speaker 20: They have to start attacking him. They have to make 635 00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:17,080 Speaker 20: the three year old feel uncomfortable because some of these people, 636 00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:20,680 Speaker 20: they're incapable of actually having a civil conversation, and just 637 00:34:20,719 --> 00:34:23,560 Speaker 20: the fact that the sitting vice president is willing, you know, 638 00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:25,960 Speaker 20: to sit there and talk to You would think, even 639 00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:28,719 Speaker 20: if you disagree with him ideologically, you would show him 640 00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:32,680 Speaker 20: enough respect considering the office that he's holding, and then 641 00:34:32,880 --> 00:34:35,320 Speaker 20: forget about it. You can be disrespectful to the vice president, 642 00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:37,920 Speaker 20: but to his three year old daughter. It just shows 643 00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:42,719 Speaker 20: that these people have no empathy whatsoever other than you know, 644 00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:46,160 Speaker 20: what they personally feel. They care about feelings, just their feelings, 645 00:34:46,400 --> 00:34:48,439 Speaker 20: not that of a three year old or the vice 646 00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:51,719 Speaker 20: president who's being gracious and actually having a conversation. I 647 00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:54,200 Speaker 20: don't know any other politicians on the left that if 648 00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:56,080 Speaker 20: you actually talk to him, and I've tried to read it, 649 00:34:56,160 --> 00:34:57,719 Speaker 20: you know that I try to talk to these politicians 650 00:34:57,719 --> 00:34:59,719 Speaker 20: outside of you know, Congress and stuff, they don't ever 651 00:34:59,719 --> 00:35:02,360 Speaker 20: want to have conversation, and Jady Vance did. So that 652 00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:04,000 Speaker 20: shows you that he is a guy that does have 653 00:35:04,040 --> 00:35:06,640 Speaker 20: integrity and that is actually willing to speak to his 654 00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:10,000 Speaker 20: constituents and try to help and represent them the best 655 00:35:10,040 --> 00:35:10,719 Speaker 20: way that he can. 656 00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:16,480 Speaker 3: Now you've chased down plenty of politicians from both sides. 657 00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:23,600 Speaker 3: I've seen you go after Dan Crenshaw, Republican from Texas, 658 00:35:23,680 --> 00:35:27,359 Speaker 3: and that's been quite colorful at times. But if there 659 00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:31,239 Speaker 3: was a child present, would you still pursue them with 660 00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:33,840 Speaker 3: a camera. I mean, I just think if there's a 661 00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:37,920 Speaker 3: little child that age, a toddler, you just walk away. 662 00:35:38,280 --> 00:35:39,520 Speaker 3: It's just not the time. 663 00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:43,919 Speaker 20: You're absolutely right, And in no instance have I ever 664 00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:46,839 Speaker 20: confronted a politician while they were with their daughter or child. 665 00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:49,520 Speaker 20: I mean, it's unfair to the kid, and you're gonna 666 00:35:49,520 --> 00:35:52,560 Speaker 20: make them feel uncomfortable. So, like I said, Jadi Vance 667 00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:55,160 Speaker 20: was more than gracious enough to even speak with him. 668 00:35:55,160 --> 00:35:58,840 Speaker 20: But these people are just so insane that they can't 669 00:35:59,120 --> 00:36:02,400 Speaker 20: even rational lies. How big of a deal it is 670 00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:04,759 Speaker 20: that they're speaking to the sitting based president and show 671 00:36:04,920 --> 00:36:07,840 Speaker 20: him respect and his three year old daughters from. 672 00:36:07,680 --> 00:36:13,600 Speaker 3: Respect now staying in your home state of Texas or 673 00:36:13,719 --> 00:36:19,960 Speaker 3: drag performances have been banned from eleven campuses of Texas 674 00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:25,279 Speaker 3: A and M University. This is quite a momentous announcement 675 00:36:25,480 --> 00:36:29,560 Speaker 3: because though you would think a college like this in 676 00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:34,000 Speaker 3: Texas would be fairly conservative, these college campuses, almost all 677 00:36:34,040 --> 00:36:38,239 Speaker 3: of them are not. They're just hotbeds of left wing activism. 678 00:36:38,640 --> 00:36:43,920 Speaker 3: So to have drag performances effectively banned from college campuses. 679 00:36:44,040 --> 00:36:45,919 Speaker 3: What are your feelings about this, Alex. 680 00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:48,840 Speaker 20: Well, I'm really happy, and of course, you know, I 681 00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:51,280 Speaker 20: believe in the First Amendment. I believe in the freedom 682 00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:53,560 Speaker 20: of speech. But when it comes down to a Texas 683 00:36:53,560 --> 00:36:56,160 Speaker 20: public school, which Texas A and m is, we don't 684 00:36:56,160 --> 00:37:03,880 Speaker 20: need our school system trying to spread GBTQ ideology to 685 00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:07,280 Speaker 20: young people on campus. It's just unnecessary for the States 686 00:37:07,280 --> 00:37:09,719 Speaker 20: to sponsor that. And Donald Trump spoke out against it, 687 00:37:10,360 --> 00:37:12,880 Speaker 20: you know, the Attorney General Kim Paxson spoke out against it. 688 00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:15,239 Speaker 20: So if these people are saying we don't want this 689 00:37:15,280 --> 00:37:18,360 Speaker 20: on our state public schools, thank goodness that finally somebody's 690 00:37:18,360 --> 00:37:20,480 Speaker 20: putting their foot down and stopping it. Because when it 691 00:37:20,520 --> 00:37:22,640 Speaker 20: comes to all the discussing books that are in public 692 00:37:22,680 --> 00:37:25,920 Speaker 20: libraries that parents are constantly fighting against, you know, in college, 693 00:37:26,040 --> 00:37:28,560 Speaker 20: these are adults. This is still a public school. Our 694 00:37:28,560 --> 00:37:30,719 Speaker 20: public funds are going to this, and really I don't 695 00:37:30,719 --> 00:37:34,239 Speaker 20: want my public funds going to drag eyland so more 696 00:37:34,320 --> 00:37:38,440 Speaker 20: kids can get indoctrinated into this, you know, trans ideology. 697 00:37:40,840 --> 00:37:44,319 Speaker 3: Well, we say it in Australia from very young from 698 00:37:44,640 --> 00:37:48,719 Speaker 3: sometimes preschool all the way through the university. This sort 699 00:37:48,760 --> 00:37:52,680 Speaker 3: of left wing activism that is evident in the curriculum, 700 00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:55,880 Speaker 3: it's on the campus. It's just shoved down the kids' 701 00:37:55,920 --> 00:37:59,759 Speaker 3: threats from a young age through to their pros graduate 702 00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:03,239 Speaker 3: degrees if they go that far. How much of a 703 00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:06,279 Speaker 3: change has there been under the Trump administration because he's 704 00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:09,600 Speaker 3: made it clear that funding decisions are going to be 705 00:38:10,120 --> 00:38:15,560 Speaker 3: attached to these policies, and a lot of the universities 706 00:38:15,560 --> 00:38:18,759 Speaker 3: have resisted, but others like Texas, A and M are 707 00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:20,880 Speaker 3: changing their ways. 708 00:38:22,120 --> 00:38:25,239 Speaker 20: Well, Rita, as you just showed earlier, it's making monumental 709 00:38:25,320 --> 00:38:28,000 Speaker 20: change because you have the governor of California, Gavin Newsom, 710 00:38:28,040 --> 00:38:30,840 Speaker 20: who's getting railroaded, and a lot of people like Whoopy 711 00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:33,839 Speaker 20: Goldberger complaining because he said that it's unfair for biological 712 00:38:33,840 --> 00:38:36,319 Speaker 20: women to have to compete against transgender men, which is 713 00:38:36,360 --> 00:38:38,840 Speaker 20: not a crazy concept, but according to Whoopy Goldberg, she 714 00:38:38,960 --> 00:38:41,719 Speaker 20: just can't wrap her head around the fact that men 715 00:38:41,800 --> 00:38:44,640 Speaker 20: are bigger and stronger on average and would have a 716 00:38:44,680 --> 00:38:49,480 Speaker 20: physical advantage in a physical sport. So listen, this issue 717 00:38:49,600 --> 00:38:52,000 Speaker 20: is huge. Donald Trump is waking up people like Gavin 718 00:38:52,040 --> 00:38:54,759 Speaker 20: Newsom where they're having to have intellectually honest conversations with 719 00:38:54,800 --> 00:38:57,480 Speaker 20: people like Charlie Kirk, and it's changing the narrative. And 720 00:38:57,520 --> 00:38:59,879 Speaker 20: I know that you're not anti trans I'm not anti transit, 721 00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:01,640 Speaker 20: staying trans people of this, but there needs to be 722 00:39:01,680 --> 00:39:05,320 Speaker 20: a system where women can compete fairly against other women, 723 00:39:05,520 --> 00:39:08,960 Speaker 20: and we don't need young kids being indoctrinated into what 724 00:39:09,040 --> 00:39:11,760 Speaker 20: I call a transcort. So I think that the tide 725 00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:14,400 Speaker 20: is shifting and we're heading in the right direction, but 726 00:39:14,719 --> 00:39:16,160 Speaker 20: you know, we still have a far away to go. 727 00:39:18,560 --> 00:39:18,759 Speaker 14: Now. 728 00:39:18,920 --> 00:39:23,000 Speaker 3: This next story, Alex, reminded me of you instantly, because 729 00:39:23,040 --> 00:39:25,040 Speaker 3: I think this is the sort of shenanigans you would 730 00:39:25,040 --> 00:39:28,400 Speaker 3: have pulled as a youngster. Have a look at this video. 731 00:39:28,480 --> 00:39:31,680 Speaker 3: A child called the cops on his own mum, asking 732 00:39:31,760 --> 00:39:35,080 Speaker 3: for her to be locked up because she ate all 733 00:39:35,120 --> 00:39:41,680 Speaker 3: the ice cream. Watch this future, Alex Stein, I, oh, 734 00:39:41,680 --> 00:39:44,600 Speaker 3: it's the police. They came for real. Yeah, we have 735 00:39:44,640 --> 00:39:47,640 Speaker 3: to just come back and make sure everything's okay. What 736 00:39:47,840 --> 00:39:50,560 Speaker 3: to do? Did you call the police? 737 00:39:51,200 --> 00:39:51,439 Speaker 19: Yeah? 738 00:39:51,719 --> 00:39:51,919 Speaker 2: Why? 739 00:39:52,600 --> 00:39:52,759 Speaker 10: Kill? 740 00:39:55,360 --> 00:39:57,080 Speaker 20: Why do you want mommy to go to jail? 741 00:39:58,080 --> 00:39:59,680 Speaker 3: She hate you? Or is it because you didn't get 742 00:39:59,719 --> 00:40:00,760 Speaker 3: ice yet? 743 00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:01,480 Speaker 7: I think. 744 00:40:03,200 --> 00:40:04,400 Speaker 20: So is their way? You're upset? 745 00:40:04,920 --> 00:40:14,279 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's why I sorry to yell at them. So 746 00:40:14,400 --> 00:40:17,480 Speaker 3: not calling nine one one unless it's a real emergency. Okay, 747 00:40:18,480 --> 00:40:21,040 Speaker 3: Oh dear, he needs a spanking, that boy, if you 748 00:40:21,200 --> 00:40:23,640 Speaker 3: believe in that sort of thing, Alex, that four year 749 00:40:23,680 --> 00:40:26,080 Speaker 3: old from Wisconsin, he did get his ice cream. The 750 00:40:26,400 --> 00:40:29,200 Speaker 3: police officers came back with some ice cream for him. 751 00:40:30,080 --> 00:40:32,360 Speaker 3: Just a nice way to end our little segment. 752 00:40:33,880 --> 00:40:35,799 Speaker 20: No, it was great, thank you to those cops. But 753 00:40:35,880 --> 00:40:36,920 Speaker 20: you gave me PTSD. 754 00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:37,400 Speaker 3: You remember. 755 00:40:37,440 --> 00:40:39,120 Speaker 20: I remember when I learned what nine one one was. 756 00:40:39,160 --> 00:40:40,799 Speaker 20: I called it and they came to my house and 757 00:40:40,840 --> 00:40:43,080 Speaker 20: read to talk about a spanking. I still have bruises 758 00:40:43,120 --> 00:40:44,280 Speaker 20: from that spanking. 759 00:40:45,719 --> 00:40:47,920 Speaker 3: And you would have deserved that. Alex Stein, thank you 760 00:40:47,920 --> 00:40:49,080 Speaker 3: so much for your time tonight. 761 00:40:50,280 --> 00:40:52,080 Speaker 20: Thank you reader. Always a pleasure. 762 00:40:52,080 --> 00:40:54,680 Speaker 3: Still to come. The new South Wales Minister for Women 763 00:40:54,880 --> 00:40:59,200 Speaker 3: flounders when asked about male bodies in women's sport. Stephanie 764 00:40:59,239 --> 00:41:11,759 Speaker 3: Bastian has the detaiss welcome back joining me now. Is 765 00:41:11,840 --> 00:41:16,279 Speaker 3: the head of advocacy at Women's Forum Australia. Stephanie Bastian Stephanie. 766 00:41:16,320 --> 00:41:20,520 Speaker 3: Conservative influencer Charlie Kirk had an interesting conversation with the 767 00:41:20,600 --> 00:41:25,279 Speaker 3: Democrat governor of California Gavin Newsom, and the man who 768 00:41:25,360 --> 00:41:29,160 Speaker 3: leads one of the most left wing states, shocked many 769 00:41:29,280 --> 00:41:33,560 Speaker 3: by admitting that trans inclusion in sport, well, that's a 770 00:41:33,640 --> 00:41:36,120 Speaker 3: nice way of putting it. Having male bodies in women's 771 00:41:36,120 --> 00:41:40,040 Speaker 3: sport is an issue of fairness and it's a major 772 00:41:40,080 --> 00:41:44,120 Speaker 3: contradiction of what he's done as governor. Let's have a listen. 773 00:41:44,440 --> 00:41:46,719 Speaker 7: It's like you right now should come out and be like, 774 00:41:46,760 --> 00:41:49,040 Speaker 7: you know what, the young man who's about to win 775 00:41:49,120 --> 00:41:52,840 Speaker 7: the state championship in the long jump in female sports, 776 00:41:52,120 --> 00:41:54,880 Speaker 7: that shouldn't happen. You as the governor should step out 777 00:41:54,880 --> 00:41:57,279 Speaker 7: and say no, no, And I appreciate and like, would 778 00:41:57,320 --> 00:41:59,040 Speaker 7: you do something like that? Would you say no men 779 00:41:59,040 --> 00:42:00,000 Speaker 7: in female sports? 780 00:41:59,719 --> 00:41:59,839 Speaker 17: Why? 781 00:42:00,160 --> 00:42:02,000 Speaker 9: I think it's an issue of fairness. I completely agree 782 00:42:02,040 --> 00:42:04,000 Speaker 9: with you on that. So that's easy to call out 783 00:42:04,040 --> 00:42:07,120 Speaker 9: the unfairness of that. There's also a humility and grace. 784 00:42:07,800 --> 00:42:10,120 Speaker 9: You know that these poor people are more likely to 785 00:42:10,120 --> 00:42:13,560 Speaker 9: commit suicide, have anxiety and depression, and the way that 786 00:42:13,719 --> 00:42:16,879 Speaker 9: people talk down to vulnerable communities is an issue that 787 00:42:17,120 --> 00:42:19,640 Speaker 9: I have a hard time with as well. So both 788 00:42:19,680 --> 00:42:21,799 Speaker 9: things I can hold in my hand. How can we 789 00:42:21,840 --> 00:42:25,120 Speaker 9: address this issue with the kind of decency that I think, 790 00:42:25,440 --> 00:42:28,680 Speaker 9: you know, it's inherent in you, but not always expressed. 791 00:42:29,400 --> 00:42:33,200 Speaker 3: So Stephanie talks about fairness there, but then straight away 792 00:42:33,280 --> 00:42:36,880 Speaker 3: he goes into the guilt tactics, talking about humility and 793 00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:41,440 Speaker 3: grace and punching down, and it's the usual tactics we 794 00:42:41,560 --> 00:42:44,040 Speaker 3: hear from the left to try to guilt women into 795 00:42:44,120 --> 00:42:47,440 Speaker 3: thinking that if they take a stand for their own rights, 796 00:42:47,560 --> 00:42:51,320 Speaker 3: that they somehow being harsh and not being compassionate towards 797 00:42:51,920 --> 00:42:53,040 Speaker 3: people who are struggling. 798 00:42:56,320 --> 00:42:59,120 Speaker 21: Absolutely, I think you've captured the issue really well. I 799 00:42:59,160 --> 00:43:04,560 Speaker 21: agree with him. People with struggling with gender dysphoyer deserve compassion, respect, support, 800 00:43:04,640 --> 00:43:06,640 Speaker 21: and all the rest of it. But the activists that 801 00:43:06,680 --> 00:43:09,680 Speaker 21: are demanding women except men and women's sports the risks 802 00:43:09,760 --> 00:43:12,959 Speaker 21: the injury, that is a totally different cattle of fish. 803 00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:15,200 Speaker 21: And I think that he is relying on that argument 804 00:43:15,560 --> 00:43:21,000 Speaker 21: to justify his inability his activity in addressing this issue. 805 00:43:21,040 --> 00:43:23,040 Speaker 21: I think it's good that he can see common sense, 806 00:43:23,080 --> 00:43:26,279 Speaker 21: but it's just not enough. Women need protection. We need 807 00:43:26,320 --> 00:43:29,480 Speaker 21: to separate the emotion from the reality, particularly for women, 808 00:43:30,080 --> 00:43:33,319 Speaker 21: and women deserve to have their sex based rights. 809 00:43:35,719 --> 00:43:38,680 Speaker 3: Absolutely. Now let's turn our attention to New South Wales, 810 00:43:38,760 --> 00:43:43,920 Speaker 3: where the Minister for Women, Jodie Harrison, struggle to answer 811 00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:49,520 Speaker 3: questions about women's safety in sport and the inclusion of 812 00:43:49,680 --> 00:43:51,120 Speaker 3: men identifying as women. 813 00:43:51,600 --> 00:43:55,480 Speaker 22: It's our view that sports themselves, that the sporting codes themselves, 814 00:43:55,719 --> 00:43:59,560 Speaker 22: our best, are in the best place to make decisions 815 00:44:00,160 --> 00:44:08,960 Speaker 22: about the inclusion of trans people in their codes and 816 00:44:09,000 --> 00:44:14,440 Speaker 22: whether they can play in men's teams or women's teams. 817 00:44:14,480 --> 00:44:17,680 Speaker 22: It's an issue if it's an issue of physical capability, 818 00:44:17,680 --> 00:44:19,640 Speaker 22: which is part of what the argument is about. I 819 00:44:19,719 --> 00:44:21,400 Speaker 22: think you respect you're not answering the question. 820 00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:25,600 Speaker 9: You know, how many women who are transitioning to men 821 00:44:25,680 --> 00:44:27,600 Speaker 9: actually participate in men's sport? 822 00:44:28,560 --> 00:44:29,000 Speaker 3: Very few? 823 00:44:29,000 --> 00:44:33,520 Speaker 22: I would consider that to be the case. Yes, I 824 00:44:33,560 --> 00:44:35,319 Speaker 22: don't have the figures for that. 825 00:44:36,200 --> 00:44:41,440 Speaker 3: She doesn't know. I mean, really, it just shocks me continuously, 826 00:44:41,560 --> 00:44:44,760 Speaker 3: people who are in these roles Minister for Women seem 827 00:44:44,800 --> 00:44:48,440 Speaker 3: to be completely ignorant about these sorts of issues that 828 00:44:48,520 --> 00:44:52,120 Speaker 3: have now been discussed and debated for years. How can 829 00:44:52,200 --> 00:44:57,719 Speaker 3: that be, Stephanie, It's just absurd. 830 00:44:57,840 --> 00:45:01,560 Speaker 21: But I don't think she's reflective Ofustralians and even perhaps 831 00:45:01,600 --> 00:45:03,640 Speaker 21: her base. I mean, we work with a range of 832 00:45:03,640 --> 00:45:08,000 Speaker 21: women across the political spectrum on this issue and the 833 00:45:08,040 --> 00:45:10,480 Speaker 21: ones that feel most politically homeless of the ones from 834 00:45:10,520 --> 00:45:12,000 Speaker 21: the left, and i'd go as far as the Green 835 00:45:12,040 --> 00:45:14,439 Speaker 21: as they've also had a rift in this issue. What's 836 00:45:14,480 --> 00:45:16,920 Speaker 21: happened is I think traditional left landing parties like the 837 00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:22,040 Speaker 21: Labor Party have traditionally championed or chouted to champion minority groups, 838 00:45:22,040 --> 00:45:25,360 Speaker 21: but in recent times that has turned to privileged minority groups. 839 00:45:25,680 --> 00:45:29,880 Speaker 21: Well funded lobby groups like the LGBTI movement, like the 840 00:45:29,920 --> 00:45:36,000 Speaker 21: sex industry, even abortion rights have come in and they'ves 841 00:45:36,360 --> 00:45:38,560 Speaker 21: with their power, have taken over a lot of these 842 00:45:38,560 --> 00:45:40,239 Speaker 21: political parties. And if you have a look at the 843 00:45:40,280 --> 00:45:43,000 Speaker 21: Labor Party for example, they don't have a conscience boat 844 00:45:43,040 --> 00:45:45,680 Speaker 21: on these issues. So if you want to get ahead 845 00:45:45,680 --> 00:45:48,080 Speaker 21: in the Labor Party, you have to subscribe to all 846 00:45:48,160 --> 00:45:51,520 Speaker 21: these issues. If you want an example of a dissenter, 847 00:45:51,600 --> 00:45:53,680 Speaker 21: you look at the way that Labor and p Rosie 848 00:45:53,719 --> 00:45:56,839 Speaker 21: Duffy was treated in the UK when she came out 849 00:45:56,880 --> 00:45:58,160 Speaker 21: in favor of women's. 850 00:45:57,800 --> 00:45:58,800 Speaker 3: Sex based rights. 851 00:45:58,840 --> 00:46:02,120 Speaker 21: They've traded their traditional base out for the elite to 852 00:46:02,160 --> 00:46:04,279 Speaker 21: the expensive women. But I think they will go down 853 00:46:04,320 --> 00:46:09,880 Speaker 21: in history as both traders to women and political cowards. 854 00:46:12,360 --> 00:46:15,560 Speaker 3: And the point there also is that, no, it's not 855 00:46:15,600 --> 00:46:18,760 Speaker 3: an issue of women identifying as men in men's sport. 856 00:46:19,600 --> 00:46:23,000 Speaker 3: Men don't ever complain about that because men have the 857 00:46:23,080 --> 00:46:26,480 Speaker 3: physical advantage, and there wouldn't really be any woman who 858 00:46:26,480 --> 00:46:29,960 Speaker 3: would be identifying as a man and who'd be taking 859 00:46:30,000 --> 00:46:34,200 Speaker 3: the place of men winning their scholarships, winning their places 860 00:46:34,239 --> 00:46:37,759 Speaker 3: in national teams. It is a one way traffic, and 861 00:46:37,800 --> 00:46:41,640 Speaker 3: you would think a Minister for Women would be across that. Finally, Steph, 862 00:46:41,800 --> 00:46:45,839 Speaker 3: the erasure of women, the very word women in the 863 00:46:46,000 --> 00:46:49,319 Speaker 3: medical profession continues. You pointed out that a study on 864 00:46:49,520 --> 00:46:52,600 Speaker 3: steel birds in the British Columbia Medical Journal refers to 865 00:46:52,680 --> 00:46:58,440 Speaker 3: mothers as birth parents and fathers as support people. In 866 00:46:58,480 --> 00:47:02,040 Speaker 3: the same paragraph, the study authors note that all the 867 00:47:02,120 --> 00:47:05,560 Speaker 3: birth parents identified as female, well that's good, and all 868 00:47:05,560 --> 00:47:09,640 Speaker 3: the support people identified as male. Why do we see 869 00:47:09,680 --> 00:47:14,600 Speaker 3: this sort of language in the medical profession. I mean 870 00:47:14,680 --> 00:47:20,040 Speaker 3: that just undermines their whole notion that they're above this, 871 00:47:20,280 --> 00:47:24,880 Speaker 3: that they're all about facts and the best possible care, 872 00:47:25,080 --> 00:47:30,239 Speaker 3: rather than getting hijacked by this sort of activism. 873 00:47:30,520 --> 00:47:33,080 Speaker 21: Absolutely, and I think it does enormous damage to the 874 00:47:33,120 --> 00:47:35,480 Speaker 21: trust in the medical system that they have been politically 875 00:47:35,560 --> 00:47:40,080 Speaker 21: hijacked in this way. It is absolutely disrespectful to women, 876 00:47:40,800 --> 00:47:45,960 Speaker 21: but overall it damages their integrity absolutely. 877 00:47:46,040 --> 00:47:48,600 Speaker 3: Stephanie, thank you so much for your time tonight, and 878 00:47:48,640 --> 00:47:50,840 Speaker 3: that's all the time and we have I'll see you 879 00:47:50,880 --> 00:47:54,720 Speaker 3: tomorrow night at eleven. Newsnight is up next
