WEBVTT - The Late Debate | 22 May 0:00:00.120 --> 0:00:08.039 Late Welcome to the Late Base, Good evening. I'm James 0:00:08.119 --> 0:00:12.119 macpherson with Freilich and Nika di Giorgio. Coming up tonight, 0:00:12.280 --> 0:00:16.079 a teeth whitening brand labeled as racist for an advertising 0:00:16.120 --> 0:00:19.840 campaign that promises that will turn your teeth white. We'll 0:00:19.880 --> 0:00:22.440 get to that a little later. Plus, when we look 0:00:22.480 --> 0:00:24.919 at the papers, the number of assaults by students on 0:00:25.079 --> 0:00:29.080 teachers in New South Wales has skyrocketed, and in North 0:00:29.120 --> 0:00:34.560 Queensland healthcare workers regarded requiring armored vehicles just to get 0:00:34.560 --> 0:00:38.080 to work. We'll get to all of that shortly, but first, 0:00:38.280 --> 0:00:40.559 what do we want a quality? And when do we 0:00:40.600 --> 0:00:44.400 want it tomorrow? I had to laugh today at ABC 0:00:44.520 --> 0:00:49.040 host Patricia Cabellius when she rudely interrupted other journalists at 0:00:49.040 --> 0:00:52.239 a press conference to complain she should be allowed to 0:00:52.280 --> 0:00:55.200 ask the next question because well she's a woman. 0:00:58.280 --> 0:01:01.279 What exactly good question? Do not feel like a lot 0:01:01.280 --> 0:01:03.080 of blokes that have been asking questions be nice if 0:01:03.080 --> 0:01:05.400 I asked the question, Trisha Carvellous, thank you very much. 0:01:05.440 --> 0:01:08.200 I've just observed this. I'd actually like to ask you, 0:01:08.319 --> 0:01:10.320 David little Proud, actually, if you don't my bridget I 0:01:10.400 --> 0:01:11.920 last year a moment because I've been running get in 0:01:11.959 --> 0:01:15.000 as you know in terms of the time frame. 0:01:15.840 --> 0:01:18.360 And don't you love having demanded the right to ask 0:01:18.400 --> 0:01:21.440 a question as a woman. She then told Bridget McKenzie 0:01:21.520 --> 0:01:24.360 to move aside to the bloke. Good answer, So much 0:01:24.400 --> 0:01:28.840 for the sisterhood. But what if Platricia Cavellis's claim that 0:01:29.000 --> 0:01:32.080 you know a lot of blokes were asking questions rather 0:01:32.120 --> 0:01:34.880 than women. Well, I'll let you be the judge. 0:01:36.000 --> 0:01:36.360 I don't know. 0:01:37.040 --> 0:01:38.080 See you're getting back together. 0:01:38.280 --> 0:01:44.319 No, this all our time, the announcement of these portfolio allocations. 0:01:44.560 --> 0:01:47.120 You can see that you've got the gums. Analyses like 0:01:47.240 --> 0:01:50.720 nuclear are have got to go through the legal party 0:01:50.720 --> 0:01:52.880 there under review, are about to be under review, the 0:01:53.000 --> 0:01:55.840 subject to review. If it is a no, what then? 0:01:56.200 --> 0:02:00.560 Why was this decision made with haste on choose one 0:02:01.080 --> 0:02:01.640 and mackenzie? 0:02:01.680 --> 0:02:05.000 As we can tw moments like this. I'm glad we've 0:02:05.000 --> 0:02:07.120 got Danika to Georgio with us because she was a 0:02:07.120 --> 0:02:10.120 hot shot reporter for many years. Danika, did you feel 0:02:10.120 --> 0:02:12.440 like you never got a good opportunity to ask a 0:02:12.520 --> 0:02:15.440 question because when you're a woman and all the blokes 0:02:15.440 --> 0:02:16.639 were dominating, I mean. 0:02:16.560 --> 0:02:18.840 Please seriously, Well, I would have forced my way into 0:02:18.840 --> 0:02:21.200 it anyway, because that's the kind of person I am. 0:02:21.480 --> 0:02:24.360 But I mean imagine being so up yourself and so 0:02:24.880 --> 0:02:28.520 entitled that you feel the need to say, excuse me, 0:02:29.200 --> 0:02:33.080 I'm a woman, please listen to me, Please step aside, blokes, 0:02:33.440 --> 0:02:36.720 I'm actually I'm actually cringing of secondhand embarrassment, to be 0:02:36.800 --> 0:02:40.200 quite frank a, Patricia carr vellis, because you're not actually 0:02:40.240 --> 0:02:42.880 just bringing yourself into disrepute as a journalist that you 0:02:42.919 --> 0:02:45.840 feel the need to say, I am demand to answer 0:02:46.040 --> 0:02:49.600 to ask the next question, but you're actually representing a brand, 0:02:49.840 --> 0:02:53.000 and therefore you're bringing the ABC into disrepute, which is 0:02:53.080 --> 0:02:56.560 hilarious because the ABC of course prides itself on gender equality, 0:02:56.600 --> 0:02:59.119 as we as we know. But what she's doing there 0:02:59.240 --> 0:03:03.239 is clearly show her bias, because I would ask Patricia carrvellis, 0:03:03.280 --> 0:03:05.799 would she go to a labor press conference and ask 0:03:05.880 --> 0:03:08.440 the same thing. Would she go face to face with 0:03:08.480 --> 0:03:12.839 Anthony Alberizi and demand that the Prime Minister asked get 0:03:12.919 --> 0:03:15.200 her to ask the question ahead of a bunch of men. 0:03:15.560 --> 0:03:19.240 I highly doubt that the gender card is actually so tiresome. 0:03:19.320 --> 0:03:21.040 I don't know if you find that as well. Freyer, 0:03:21.080 --> 0:03:25.000 but as a woman, to be to want to be 0:03:25.080 --> 0:03:28.560 listened to just because you're a woman is utterly pathetic. 0:03:28.680 --> 0:03:31.240 So well done, Patricia. You've embarrassed yourself again. 0:03:31.280 --> 0:03:34.720 But that's exactly the thing. How did gender have any 0:03:34.880 --> 0:03:37.760 role in this at all? And then the awkward moment 0:03:38.040 --> 0:03:42.680 when she had to tell the one female politician in 0:03:42.760 --> 0:03:46.880 the room to step aside so the bloke could answer 0:03:46.880 --> 0:03:50.440 the question. It's honestly so embarrassing, and this is why 0:03:50.480 --> 0:03:54.200 the ABC's viewership is declining. This is why the public 0:03:54.320 --> 0:03:57.320 is losing trust in them. Their coverage around the Voice 0:03:57.560 --> 0:04:01.240 was extremely biased. The majority of stories favored the yes case, 0:04:01.400 --> 0:04:04.280 whereas just twenty percent favored the no case. This is 0:04:04.320 --> 0:04:08.839 a consistent thing, and situations like this are emblematic of 0:04:08.880 --> 0:04:12.640 the ideological rot and decay within the ABC. 0:04:13.040 --> 0:04:16.160 Yeah, I think we displayed publicly that exact point. I've 0:04:16.200 --> 0:04:18.360 got to be honest, I enjoyed that press conference because 0:04:18.360 --> 0:04:21.560 I found it so amusing. I've watched that clip several 0:04:21.560 --> 0:04:24.560 times now and every time it makes me smile, especially 0:04:24.600 --> 0:04:27.960 as you said, having won the right to ask one 0:04:27.960 --> 0:04:30.960 for the women. She then tells the woman move aside, 0:04:31.000 --> 0:04:33.359 I want to talk to the man. You honestly could 0:04:33.440 --> 0:04:34.520 not make that up. 0:04:34.600 --> 0:04:36.880 No, But also we played that clip for the audience. 0:04:36.920 --> 0:04:39.240 There were so many female reporters that actually got to 0:04:39.279 --> 0:04:41.839 ask multiple questions. And you know what, and I would 0:04:41.920 --> 0:04:44.480 know this as a formal reporter myself. Sometimes you rock 0:04:44.600 --> 0:04:47.040 up to these press conferences and you might be the 0:04:47.080 --> 0:04:50.760 only female reporter, or there might be only one male reporter. 0:04:51.040 --> 0:04:53.159 It doesn't mean that I would say, no, excuse me, 0:04:53.240 --> 0:04:55.200 can we just stop this press conference because the one 0:04:55.200 --> 0:04:57.600 male reporter would like to ask his question as well. 0:04:58.080 --> 0:05:01.880 It's just, honestly, it's time and embarrassing, and she's made 0:05:01.880 --> 0:05:05.360 an absolute fool of herself. But look, let's move on. 0:05:05.520 --> 0:05:09.600 Because the divorce between the Nats and the Liberal Party 0:05:09.960 --> 0:05:12.560 has been put on hold. In fact, they are undergoing 0:05:12.680 --> 0:05:15.440 marriage counseling. And look it's good news, thank goodness, that 0:05:15.480 --> 0:05:18.280 they are coming together to try and sort this out. 0:05:18.480 --> 0:05:21.279 They've announced that they will try and negotiate a pathway 0:05:21.320 --> 0:05:24.680 forward to reunite the coalition. And it's a really good thing. 0:05:24.760 --> 0:05:27.440 Otherwise we are going to be stuck with this Labor 0:05:27.480 --> 0:05:31.080 Party for a very long time under a broken renewable system. 0:05:31.360 --> 0:05:34.560 A trillion dollars in debt, were already going broken backwards 0:05:34.560 --> 0:05:37.000 a big Australia, and I mean, gosh, that's only just 0:05:37.120 --> 0:05:40.160 the beginning. But National's leader David little Proud said this 0:05:40.240 --> 0:05:44.200 morning that he paused this split after receiving a surprise 0:05:44.560 --> 0:05:46.719 phone call from Liberal leader Susan Lee. 0:05:47.720 --> 0:05:50.520 I got a text out of blue early this morning 0:05:51.000 --> 0:05:53.400 from Susan to come around to her office and have 0:05:53.480 --> 0:05:56.840 a conversation. And I went and had a conversation with her, 0:05:56.880 --> 0:06:00.440 and she made it clear that she would pause announcing 0:06:00.600 --> 0:06:04.800 a shadow cabinet. What she would do is call a 0:06:04.880 --> 0:06:07.880 party room meeting of the Liberal Party to discuss those 0:06:07.920 --> 0:06:11.720 four policy areas that she couldn't give us a guarantee 0:06:11.760 --> 0:06:15.279 on what. Susan Lee made a decision to change that around. 0:06:15.279 --> 0:06:17.360 And while I accepted that, I just want to ask 0:06:17.440 --> 0:06:19.600 for those four to remain now. 0:06:19.600 --> 0:06:22.840 Of course, the main four of those topics is nuclear 0:06:22.960 --> 0:06:26.920 energy policy seems to be what is dividing and causing 0:06:26.960 --> 0:06:29.279 this split right now. And I've been saying this for 0:06:29.320 --> 0:06:31.600 the last week and I maintained this that Susan Lee 0:06:31.600 --> 0:06:34.600 should have accepted those four options. They she should have 0:06:34.640 --> 0:06:37.240 accepted it from the beginning, particularly nuclear policy, given that 0:06:37.320 --> 0:06:40.760 she actually backed nuclear policy under Peter Dutton when she 0:06:40.960 --> 0:06:44.400 was the Deputy Liberal Leader. But here's where it gets 0:06:44.440 --> 0:06:46.840 a little bit more complicated now because now there has 0:06:46.920 --> 0:06:50.719 been a leaked letter which was sent from Senator Bridget 0:06:50.720 --> 0:06:55.680 mackenzie National Senator Bridget Mackenzie to MICHAYLEEA. Cash and it 0:06:55.760 --> 0:06:59.640 actually reveals that the coalition split was sparked by internal 0:06:59.680 --> 0:07:03.440 tension over center Nampa Jimper Prices defection to the Liberals. Now, 0:07:03.640 --> 0:07:06.480 the letter was sent to Michaleea Cash eight days before 0:07:06.520 --> 0:07:09.000 that breakup, and I'll read you a part of what 0:07:09.000 --> 0:07:11.360 it said. It said it is understood Senator Nampajym for 0:07:11.400 --> 0:07:14.280 prices defection to sit in the Liberal Party room is 0:07:14.320 --> 0:07:17.480 associated with the overtures from the Liberal Party and an 0:07:17.480 --> 0:07:20.400 intention to stand for a leadership position in the parliamentary 0:07:20.480 --> 0:07:23.360 Liberal Party. As a result of her defection, together with 0:07:23.400 --> 0:07:26.400 a severe drop in Liberal Party vote in New South 0:07:26.400 --> 0:07:29.120 Wales from one July twenty twenty five, the Nationals will 0:07:29.120 --> 0:07:32.040 only hold four seats in the Senate. Losing party status 0:07:32.040 --> 0:07:35.280 in the Senate would have significant implications for the National 0:07:35.320 --> 0:07:39.080 Senate team as well as the wider coalition. Now, I 0:07:39.120 --> 0:07:42.840 mean it's hardly surprising. And unfortunately for Senator Nampajim for Price, 0:07:42.840 --> 0:07:45.680 of course, she didn't get a leadership position after that 0:07:45.800 --> 0:07:49.120 leadership vote a few days ago. But gee, the fact 0:07:49.160 --> 0:07:52.720 that they're now leaking against each other, this is a disaster. 0:07:53.120 --> 0:07:55.360 They have to come back to the table on this, 0:07:55.400 --> 0:07:57.360 and they've got to come back pretty quickly to put 0:07:57.440 --> 0:08:00.160 trust back into the Australian public because obviously there's a 0:08:00.160 --> 0:08:03.160 lot of voters are out there that are very disgruntled 0:08:03.200 --> 0:08:05.440 with the coalition at the moment. And then their policies 0:08:05.440 --> 0:08:07.440 were at home, particularly in the last few weeks of 0:08:07.440 --> 0:08:10.240 the election campaign, it really was policy on the run. 0:08:10.560 --> 0:08:13.720 And now again, what exactly do they stand for? I 0:08:13.720 --> 0:08:16.000 think the Nats seem to have a clear policy way forward. 0:08:16.000 --> 0:08:19.160 The Liberals are still in limbo discussing it. But they've 0:08:19.200 --> 0:08:22.080 got to come together pretty quick. And the coalition, of course, 0:08:22.120 --> 0:08:26.000 of the so called Conservatives freyer, but they've lost their 0:08:26.080 --> 0:08:30.160 way and the future of Conservative politics, in my view, 0:08:30.200 --> 0:08:32.839 really depends on the coalition actually sorting themselves out. 0:08:33.320 --> 0:08:36.080 No one is winning from this divorce. No one is 0:08:36.120 --> 0:08:40.199 winning from this breakup. It is not beneficial to anyone. 0:08:40.520 --> 0:08:43.080 I think it's putting David Little Prown in a really 0:08:43.240 --> 0:08:47.000 difficult position because there was also another interesting development in 0:08:47.040 --> 0:08:50.680 the story where last night Bridget mackenzie on the ABC 0:08:51.280 --> 0:08:55.000 said that the rewriting the party rules to essentially remove 0:08:55.080 --> 0:08:59.720 shadow cabinet solidarity was not a sticking point in the 0:08:59.760 --> 0:09:03.520 co being unable to come to an agreement. But then 0:09:03.600 --> 0:09:07.920 this morning David Little Proud appeared to backtrack those comments 0:09:08.320 --> 0:09:12.600 and said that it was something that was discussed with Susan, 0:09:12.679 --> 0:09:15.079 which is what she's been saying the whole time, and 0:09:15.120 --> 0:09:17.480 why I thought we should give her the benefit of 0:09:17.480 --> 0:09:22.400 the doubt because breaking shadow ministerial solidarity would be chaotic 0:09:22.480 --> 0:09:26.520 and never work. So now I think David Little Proud 0:09:26.640 --> 0:09:29.520 is in a really tough position where all of a sudden, 0:09:29.600 --> 0:09:32.200 his back benches and shadows are turning around and saying, 0:09:32.520 --> 0:09:36.479 were you actually telling us the whole truth throughout these negotiations. 0:09:36.720 --> 0:09:39.360 But then it's also not great for Susan because if 0:09:39.400 --> 0:09:42.080 she can't unite the coalition then it's all over. So 0:09:42.240 --> 0:09:45.319 really it's a recipe for disaster. Get back together, guys, 0:09:45.360 --> 0:09:46.080 and let's move on. 0:09:46.480 --> 0:09:49.800 I'm so confused, so David said, and then Susan said, yeah, 0:09:49.880 --> 0:09:52.000 Bridget got involved, and then there was an interview on 0:09:52.040 --> 0:09:54.800 the ABC with Sarah Ferguson, and then Susan said to 0:09:54.840 --> 0:09:58.680 them that the producers that married at First Sight dream 0:09:58.960 --> 0:10:02.000 of a strip like this. And for all the damage 0:10:02.040 --> 0:10:05.120 that the liberals have done with their idea that you know, 0:10:05.160 --> 0:10:07.200 everything's on the table, we don't know what we believe 0:10:07.280 --> 0:10:10.240 at the moment, for all of that, it's worse now 0:10:10.320 --> 0:10:13.400 because they just look like an absolute rabble. If you're 0:10:13.440 --> 0:10:16.359 going to have a breakdown, at least do it privately. 0:10:16.800 --> 0:10:19.480 But going on television every five minutes to update the 0:10:19.480 --> 0:10:22.320 reporters on well, you know, Susan and I haven't spoken. Oh, 0:10:22.360 --> 0:10:25.640 actually I've got a text from Susan earlier today. I mean, honestly, 0:10:25.640 --> 0:10:27.560 it's like Facebook, where people go on and tell all 0:10:27.559 --> 0:10:30.960 their relationship dramas and everybody has their two cents worth. 0:10:31.040 --> 0:10:35.280 It's just embarrassing. And they'll come back together, of course 0:10:35.320 --> 0:10:38.000 they will, they have to, But the damage they do 0:10:38.160 --> 0:10:42.120 to their own credibility with this public squad sought your 0:10:42.120 --> 0:10:44.640 relationship differences out in private. 0:10:44.480 --> 0:10:46.320 Well, it's making you know, and I hate to say 0:10:46.320 --> 0:10:49.160 this is actually making Anthony ARBENEZI look really good at 0:10:49.160 --> 0:10:51.520 the moment, No wonder he's out there. Every press opportunity 0:10:51.559 --> 0:10:54.240 he's had in the last week, the man is smiling. 0:10:54.320 --> 0:10:56.839 The man is absolutely beaming. Of course he is, because 0:10:56.840 --> 0:10:59.520 he has a united Party and he is not dealing 0:10:59.559 --> 0:11:02.840 with all sorts of nonsense. It's like high school rubbish. 0:11:02.880 --> 0:11:05.600 And the fact that they're leaking against each other now 0:11:05.640 --> 0:11:06.200 as well. 0:11:06.320 --> 0:11:09.000 Right before we went on air, Paul Murray, just before 0:11:09.040 --> 0:11:10.800 we came on, he said, Hey, have a look at 0:11:10.800 --> 0:11:12.920 the Sidney Morning Herald tomorrow. They've got an article that's 0:11:12.960 --> 0:11:16.960 headlined how the ABC became a surprise mediator in the 0:11:16.960 --> 0:11:20.680 coalition's separation and so now the ABC acclaiming credit for 0:11:20.720 --> 0:11:24.000 you know, well, they've had different people on televisions telling 0:11:24.040 --> 0:11:26.199 their side of the story, and that way they're communicating 0:11:26.600 --> 0:11:28.760 via the media, that's the worst thing you can do. 0:11:28.880 --> 0:11:32.800 Maybe it was Patricia carve Ellish, Maybe it was Carvellis 0:11:32.880 --> 0:11:34.720 she got to ask a question, it was her mediation. 0:11:34.880 --> 0:11:38.360 Perhaps, well, whoever it was, this whole situation is just 0:11:38.480 --> 0:11:40.640 so embarrassing for everyone involved. 0:11:40.960 --> 0:11:43.320 Please, guys, let's fix this and move on. 0:11:43.679 --> 0:11:46.200 Let's also move on to America now, where there have 0:11:46.320 --> 0:11:50.920 been some really interesting meetings happening in the White House. 0:11:51.200 --> 0:11:54.800 You might remember a couple of months ago Trump confronted 0:11:54.920 --> 0:11:57.760 Zelenski in the whole world was in shock. Well he's 0:11:57.880 --> 0:12:01.880 done it again, this time with the President of South Africa, 0:12:02.320 --> 0:12:06.600 Cyril Ramaposa, and he confronted him over the violence being 0:12:06.640 --> 0:12:10.720 inflicted on white farmers in his country. Now, I want 0:12:10.720 --> 0:12:14.600 to show you a clip of what Trump showed the 0:12:14.640 --> 0:12:17.880 president in the White House. He asked one of his 0:12:17.920 --> 0:12:21.840 staffers to dim the lights, turned on a TV and. 0:12:21.800 --> 0:12:24.400 This is what he confronted the president with. 0:12:25.600 --> 0:12:26.600 Turn the lights down. 0:12:27.559 --> 0:12:28.600 Turn the lights down. 0:12:35.720 --> 0:12:40.599 This film a montage of rallies held by the Communist 0:12:40.640 --> 0:12:44.160 Opposition Party chanting for the deaths of white farmers. 0:12:46.520 --> 0:12:50.480 It's pretty disturbing that the eff the Economic Freedom Fighters. 0:12:50.480 --> 0:12:53.600 They are one of the major parties in South Africa 0:12:53.679 --> 0:12:58.000 and they openly call for the killing of white South 0:12:58.000 --> 0:13:03.839 Africans bors or africaan. Now Trump has granted refugee visas 0:13:03.960 --> 0:13:07.720 to white farmers so they can escape this violence. But 0:13:07.920 --> 0:13:12.000 when Cyril Ramaposa was talking about those who have fled 0:13:12.040 --> 0:13:16.680 the violence against white South Africans, he laughed and joked 0:13:16.679 --> 0:13:18.559 about them being cowards. 0:13:19.960 --> 0:13:23.960 None of us ever having to want to run away 0:13:24.080 --> 0:13:30.520 to another country for fictional reasons that we are being persecuted. 0:13:31.520 --> 0:13:37.160 We are united in diversity, and none of us should 0:13:37.160 --> 0:13:41.680 ever feel that they have lost courage, that they've now 0:13:41.760 --> 0:13:49.319 become cowards and want to run. Once play once said Africanas. 0:13:51.120 --> 0:13:54.920 Now he might say they're cowards, but listen to what 0:13:55.160 --> 0:13:59.680 the head of the EFF is chanting in a stadium 0:14:00.080 --> 0:14:04.800 with around one hundred thousand people all going along with it. 0:14:16.520 --> 0:14:21.120 Now he's chanting, there kill the farmer. I don't think 0:14:21.480 --> 0:14:24.480 that you're a coward if you want to escape a 0:14:24.560 --> 0:14:29.680 country where a major political leader is calling for your death. 0:14:29.920 --> 0:14:33.000 But to make this whole situation worse. While Cyril Ramaposa 0:14:33.120 --> 0:14:38.120 is downplaying this as misinformation, he actually is a supporter 0:14:38.720 --> 0:14:42.160 of the EFF because the leader of this political party, 0:14:42.520 --> 0:14:47.040 Julius Malemma, used to be in the ANC, and back 0:14:47.120 --> 0:14:51.840 in twenty eighteen, Ramaposa said this. He said he would 0:14:52.080 --> 0:14:56.240 love to welcome Malemma back into the ANC. 0:14:56.760 --> 0:14:59.520 He is still ANC deep down. 0:14:59.680 --> 0:15:04.200 In his heart, so he cannot claim he has no 0:15:04.320 --> 0:15:08.120 idea what's going on. He cannot claim this is not serious. 0:15:08.280 --> 0:15:12.840 This is a direct threat to white farmers, but honestly 0:15:12.920 --> 0:15:16.400 to everyone, because crime in South Africa under this corrupt 0:15:16.480 --> 0:15:21.560 and useless government is going crazy. It's so so disturbing, guys. 0:15:21.600 --> 0:15:24.840 And to see this playdown and ignored by the left 0:15:24.880 --> 0:15:26.480 wing media, I think is shocking. 0:15:26.840 --> 0:15:29.200 Trump is a very I mean it goes without saying 0:15:29.200 --> 0:15:32.880 he's a very unique world leader. But his willingness to 0:15:33.040 --> 0:15:36.240 just call out other world leaders when they visit him 0:15:36.240 --> 0:15:39.320 in the Oval Office must have people like Anthony Albanezi, 0:15:39.400 --> 0:15:42.520 for example, shaking in their boots. Do you really want 0:15:42.560 --> 0:15:45.200 to go to visit Trump because he'll just call things out. 0:15:45.560 --> 0:15:48.000 This is a man who they tried to jail, they 0:15:48.040 --> 0:15:51.240 tried to bankrupt him, they tried to shoot him. He's 0:15:51.280 --> 0:15:56.360 got nothing to protect because he's almost lost everything anyway, 0:15:56.680 --> 0:15:59.880 and so he's just calling people out, and good on him. 0:16:00.200 --> 0:16:03.560 What's amazing is when Trump calls out what is blatant 0:16:03.680 --> 0:16:06.480 racism in South Africa. And I've been to South Africa 0:16:06.520 --> 0:16:09.720 many times. I love the country, love the people, but boy, 0:16:10.240 --> 0:16:12.600 white people really do live in fear of their lives 0:16:12.600 --> 0:16:15.800 in many parts of the country. Trump calls that out 0:16:16.040 --> 0:16:18.360 and all he gets is criticism. Have I listened to 0:16:18.400 --> 0:16:23.680 this NBC journalist too. Right after those very confronting videos 0:16:23.760 --> 0:16:27.480 that Freyer just showed us, immediately the lights go up again. 0:16:27.600 --> 0:16:31.240 You'd think journalists would ask questions, what's really going on 0:16:31.600 --> 0:16:34.160 in South Africa? Is this really happening? Is this true? 0:16:34.400 --> 0:16:36.880 South African President? What do you have to say? But 0:16:37.000 --> 0:16:39.800 instead this was the first question that was asked. 0:16:41.000 --> 0:16:46.680 Okay announced it would be sadly Victorian jabs be used 0:16:46.720 --> 0:16:47.280 as era or. 0:16:47.680 --> 0:16:49.280 What are you talking about it? 0:16:52.400 --> 0:16:54.760 You know, you to get out of here. 0:16:55.080 --> 0:16:57.000 What does this have to do with the guitar jet 0:16:57.560 --> 0:17:00.520 they're giving the United States for us, said jet? Okay, 0:17:00.960 --> 0:17:03.360 and it's a great thing. We're talking about a lot 0:17:03.400 --> 0:17:06.159 of other things. It's NBC trying to get off the 0:17:06.200 --> 0:17:07.560 subject of what you just saw. 0:17:07.920 --> 0:17:10.160 You are a real you know, you're a terrible. 0:17:09.840 --> 0:17:14.959 Reports fair enough. Now, Trump talked about a genocide of 0:17:15.000 --> 0:17:18.400 white farmers. People now quibbling over, well, what's the definition 0:17:18.440 --> 0:17:21.320 of a genocide, which raises the question how many white 0:17:21.320 --> 0:17:24.160 farmers would you like to die before we can call 0:17:24.200 --> 0:17:27.720 it a serious issue. Trump made some other comments which 0:17:27.760 --> 0:17:31.240 may or may not have been exactly factually correct. The 0:17:31.400 --> 0:17:34.919 point is, however, that the South African government started with 0:17:34.960 --> 0:17:38.320 a policy where they would encourage white farmers to sell 0:17:38.359 --> 0:17:42.120 their properties to black farmers. Then when white farmers were 0:17:42.119 --> 0:17:45.040 reluctant to do that, the South African government passed a 0:17:45.119 --> 0:17:47.520 law saying that they would have the power to simply 0:17:47.720 --> 0:17:52.480 take land off white farmers and reallocate it without any compensation. 0:17:53.040 --> 0:17:56.119 Those questions are worth being asked, and the fact that 0:17:56.200 --> 0:18:00.320 so many criticized Trump for bringing up this topic is very, 0:18:00.440 --> 0:18:01.080 very revealing. 0:18:01.160 --> 0:18:03.800 I was really surprised by the left wing media's response 0:18:03.840 --> 0:18:06.680 to this. Everyone's saying how rude Donald Trump is, how 0:18:06.800 --> 0:18:10.040 dare he bring it up? That he's a terrible leader. Hey, 0:18:10.240 --> 0:18:13.320 this is a man who is actually willing and open 0:18:13.359 --> 0:18:16.240 to speak about something without fear or favor, while many 0:18:16.280 --> 0:18:19.240 world leaders actually hide behind the topic. They don't want 0:18:19.280 --> 0:18:21.880 to bring it up, they're not interested. I honestly think 0:18:21.880 --> 0:18:24.800 this is one of the most incredible moments in political history, 0:18:24.840 --> 0:18:27.040 and Donald Trump really is the leader of our times. 0:18:27.200 --> 0:18:29.600 And good on him for having the guts and courage 0:18:29.640 --> 0:18:32.560 to look Rabbit Posa in the eyes and ask him 0:18:32.560 --> 0:18:35.399 what on earth is going on? Because he's actually gotten 0:18:35.400 --> 0:18:37.800 away with it for so long. He's not speaking up 0:18:37.800 --> 0:18:40.840 about it over in South Africa, and how refreshing to 0:18:40.840 --> 0:18:43.320 have a world leader who's not scared. It's interesting that 0:18:43.480 --> 0:18:46.720 video that he played him actually went for five minutes. 0:18:46.800 --> 0:18:50.680 Can you imagine the tension in that press briefing room 0:18:50.840 --> 0:18:53.480 while everyone would have just sat there in shock as 0:18:53.480 --> 0:18:56.160 the lights were dimmed and Donald Trump played that video 0:18:56.240 --> 0:18:58.120 that went for five minutes. I mean, I can only 0:18:58.200 --> 0:19:02.800 imagine what Rabbi Posa was was thinking. White farmers. The 0:19:02.840 --> 0:19:05.120 reality is is, as we've been saying, white farmers are 0:19:05.160 --> 0:19:09.080 actually being killed in such barbaric ways. And the problem 0:19:09.200 --> 0:19:11.800 is it's a racist taboo topic, which it just it 0:19:11.840 --> 0:19:14.639 absolutely shouldn't be. I mean, people are so scared for 0:19:14.680 --> 0:19:18.040 their lives over there, and the mainstream media even over 0:19:18.080 --> 0:19:20.600 there is largely covering it up as well that they 0:19:20.600 --> 0:19:22.920 don't want to talk about it. I do wonder, though, 0:19:22.960 --> 0:19:25.760 will world leaders be skeptical, as you said, James, to 0:19:26.160 --> 0:19:27.920 go to the White House to want to this is 0:19:27.960 --> 0:19:30.760 the second dressing down. But good on Donald Trump. I 0:19:30.760 --> 0:19:33.800 mean he gave it to Zelenski. Whether or not people 0:19:33.880 --> 0:19:36.240 agree with that or not, in the end, he was 0:19:36.280 --> 0:19:38.600 willing to say no, enough is enough. You're not putting 0:19:38.600 --> 0:19:40.560 an end to the Ukraine War. We need a pullback. 0:19:40.600 --> 0:19:43.200 We can't keep giving you military aid when this war 0:19:43.680 --> 0:19:47.160 experts say that it's simply unwinnable. And now he's taking 0:19:47.200 --> 0:19:49.960 on rubber Posa. So you know what, good on him. 0:19:50.080 --> 0:19:51.280 Is not afraid of confrontation. 0:19:51.640 --> 0:19:54.040 You know the other thing about that press conference is 0:19:54.080 --> 0:19:58.919 that when Trump confronted Ramoposa, Remoposa's response was, well, it's 0:19:58.960 --> 0:20:00.879 not just white to the getting lots of blacks are 0:20:00.880 --> 0:20:03.520 being killed as well. Imagine being the leader of a 0:20:03.560 --> 0:20:06.800 country and your defense is well, it's not just whites. 0:20:06.800 --> 0:20:09.400 Blacks are being killed as well. Everybody's being killed. That's 0:20:09.440 --> 0:20:13.600 the best he could do. Absolute shambles the ANC in 0:20:13.680 --> 0:20:19.760 South Africa. Trump wasn't only calling out the murders of 0:20:19.840 --> 0:20:23.240 white farmers in South Africa today. He was also calling 0:20:23.280 --> 0:20:26.520 out an automobile feature that causes you and I I'm 0:20:26.560 --> 0:20:29.320 sure you at home will be frustrated as I am 0:20:29.359 --> 0:20:33.320 with this feature. You know, the on off start stop 0:20:33.440 --> 0:20:35.679 button on your car that you come up to a 0:20:35.680 --> 0:20:38.159 set of lights or you stop in traffic and the 0:20:38.200 --> 0:20:41.679 engine automatically shuts down and then it only restarts when 0:20:41.720 --> 0:20:43.920 you put your foot on the accelerator. It's one of 0:20:43.960 --> 0:20:47.760 the most frustrating parts of modern motor vehicles. Will Trump 0:20:47.800 --> 0:20:50.920 has promised to get rid of it. The US Environmental 0:20:50.960 --> 0:20:55.840 Protection Agency boss Lee Zelden put out a tweet today saying, 0:20:56.200 --> 0:20:59.600 start stop technology where your car dies at every red light. 0:21:00.000 --> 0:21:03.639 Company's got a climate participation trophy. EPA approved it, and 0:21:03.680 --> 0:21:06.679 everyone hates it, So we're fixing it. He is what 0:21:06.680 --> 0:21:07.639 he had to say today. 0:21:08.920 --> 0:21:11.800 EPA a little over a dozen years ago, about thirteen 0:21:11.880 --> 0:21:17.000 years ago, approved an off cycle credit for this feature, 0:21:17.600 --> 0:21:20.040 and a lot of Americans over the course of the 0:21:20.119 --> 0:21:25.400 last dozen years have grown in frustration as they've had 0:21:25.440 --> 0:21:28.960 this experience where you're going to a red light and 0:21:29.000 --> 0:21:31.680 your car is stopping. Maybe if it saves a little 0:21:31.720 --> 0:21:32.439 bit and gas. 0:21:32.480 --> 0:21:33.800 What is it doing to my starter? 0:21:34.359 --> 0:21:36.200 Was it doing to my engine? 0:21:36.320 --> 0:21:38.160 Is is it safe? 0:21:39.320 --> 0:21:41.200 I don't know how many times I've been at lights 0:21:41.400 --> 0:21:43.840 and that feature has kicked in and I want to 0:21:43.920 --> 0:21:46.880 get away quickly and realize the engines turned itself off. 0:21:47.280 --> 0:21:49.760 Start it all over again. Many of the claims have 0:21:49.840 --> 0:21:53.760 been revealed to be quite bogus regarding the emissions reductions 0:21:53.800 --> 0:21:56.920 that are achieved by this feature of the Australian Automobile 0:21:56.920 --> 0:22:01.160 Association did a federal government funded study not long ago 0:22:01.200 --> 0:22:04.040 and found eight out of twenty one cars that they 0:22:04.119 --> 0:22:07.960 tested recorded fuel consumption that was eight to thirty one 0:22:08.000 --> 0:22:13.399 percent higher than had been advertised, and emissions were similarly 0:22:14.440 --> 0:22:17.840
