WEBVTT - The Late Debate | 29 July 0:00:01.200 --> 0:00:05.880 Late General, welcome the Late plays. 0:00:08.360 --> 0:00:10.600 Great to have your company. I'm James Macpherson with Liz 0:00:10.640 --> 0:00:14.360 Storer and Caleb Bond coming up. It's every flyer's nightmare 0:00:14.440 --> 0:00:16.480 losing your luggage. We'll tell you about an ossie who 0:00:16.520 --> 0:00:20.239 spent eighteen months trying to find his plus When we 0:00:20.280 --> 0:00:23.720 look at the papers, Australian states racking up massive deficits, 0:00:24.400 --> 0:00:28.200 the largest of anywhere in the world. And Tony Burk's 0:00:28.200 --> 0:00:30.680 only been the Home Affairs Minister for forty eight hours 0:00:30.960 --> 0:00:34.560 but already has problems. We'll get to all of that soon, 0:00:34.640 --> 0:00:38.440 but first, it appears video of the opening ceremony has 0:00:38.520 --> 0:00:42.000 been removed from the Official Olympic Game's YouTube channel. 0:00:42.360 --> 0:00:42.519 Now. 0:00:42.520 --> 0:00:46.320 Of course, the opening ceremony caused huge controversy after it 0:00:46.400 --> 0:00:50.560 was used to mock Christianity, promote gender fluidity, and platform 0:00:50.600 --> 0:00:54.160 public nudity. And now, while full videos of other opening 0:00:54.200 --> 0:00:58.360 ceremonies from previous Olympic Games are freely available, well the 0:00:58.400 --> 0:01:02.640 Paris ceremony is not. Just twenty four hours after appearing 0:01:02.680 --> 0:01:06.600 on the site, it's suddenly vanished. The IOC say there's 0:01:06.600 --> 0:01:09.960 no big conspiracy, they just don't have the digital rights 0:01:10.000 --> 0:01:13.160 to display the footage, but that fails to explain why 0:01:13.160 --> 0:01:16.520 it was uploaded in the first place before being taken down. 0:01:17.040 --> 0:01:19.240 Calebern this, if you ask me, I would actually prefer 0:01:19.280 --> 0:01:21.960 that they did remove it, because that would at least 0:01:21.959 --> 0:01:27.039 show some contrition and maybe even some embarrassment. The queer 0:01:27.120 --> 0:01:30.760 artistic director of the opening ceremony, he was responsible for 0:01:30.840 --> 0:01:33.240 the fiasco. He said, I didn't mean to offend anybody. 0:01:33.240 --> 0:01:36.360 We were just promoting diversity. That old chestnut that if 0:01:36.400 --> 0:01:39.280 you say it was to promote diversity, well, then what 0:01:39.360 --> 0:01:42.880 you saw was not some pornographic, satanic sort of display 0:01:42.880 --> 0:01:45.560 of hedonism. It was diversity. And then we're all supposed 0:01:45.560 --> 0:01:49.360 to say, oh, diversity is our strength. What do you think, Liz, 0:01:49.360 --> 0:01:52.080 do you think this is an issue of digital rights 0:01:52.160 --> 0:01:54.920 or do you think the organizers have said, you know what, 0:01:54.960 --> 0:01:58.240 this says turned really bad, really fast, let's just quietly 0:01:58.600 --> 0:02:01.360 hide the evidence viral for all the. 0:02:01.320 --> 0:02:05.840 Wrong reasons, and the backlash has been so profound that 0:02:06.000 --> 0:02:08.880 is obviously why they've taken it down. 0:02:08.960 --> 0:02:09.120 Now. 0:02:09.120 --> 0:02:12.160 The artistic director that you referred to, his name is 0:02:12.240 --> 0:02:17.160 Thomas Jolly. He says, quote our idea was inclusion end 0:02:17.440 --> 0:02:19.960 quote right, So you thought the best way to go 0:02:20.120 --> 0:02:25.480 about parading inclusion at an event that the world is 0:02:25.880 --> 0:02:28.760 watching and a lot of kids as well. By the 0:02:28.800 --> 0:02:33.800 way was to mock the Last Supper, some of Christ's 0:02:33.960 --> 0:02:38.880 last moments on earth before his death his ascension. 0:02:39.880 --> 0:02:44.679 It boggles the mind. We all know that they went 0:02:44.760 --> 0:02:48.040 out of their way to do this. I mean, there's any. 0:02:47.919 --> 0:02:50.400 Number of things that you could have instead done for 0:02:50.520 --> 0:02:54.919 the opening ceremony, and yet this was frontline and center. 0:02:55.120 --> 0:02:57.560 And the sad part of it is, besides what. 0:02:57.480 --> 0:03:02.640 You've just said, this being an outright display of degeneracy, like, 0:03:02.760 --> 0:03:06.280 let's normalize this. I don't think anyone once that normalized. 0:03:07.000 --> 0:03:11.359 Is that's all anyone's been talking about. So these athletes 0:03:11.400 --> 0:03:15.000 who have trained four years, day and day out to 0:03:15.240 --> 0:03:19.240 make it to the most esteemed position in the Olympic 0:03:19.880 --> 0:03:24.520 world have now been overshadowed by everyone just talking about 0:03:24.720 --> 0:03:30.360 how utterly disgusting and disappointing this display of degeneracy was. 0:03:30.440 --> 0:03:33.840 And it was clearly a dig at Christians. There's two 0:03:33.919 --> 0:03:37.200 billion of us. We're not going anywhere. You can preach 0:03:37.320 --> 0:03:40.120 DEEI to us until you're blue in the face. We 0:03:40.160 --> 0:03:44.000 are not going to change what we believe and this 0:03:44.280 --> 0:03:51.680 just seemed to absolutely thankfully tank worldwide. Nobody appreciated this, 0:03:52.200 --> 0:03:56.760 and you've got companies now pulling their ad sponsorships for 0:03:56.800 --> 0:03:59.280 the Olympics, and I think that is one of the best, 0:03:59.400 --> 0:04:03.800 most really practical ways that people can show their discuss. 0:04:03.960 --> 0:04:08.520 So Mississippi tech based company they're called Ceespire has pulled theirs, 0:04:08.840 --> 0:04:11.400 and I think this may well and truly start an 0:04:11.440 --> 0:04:15.800 avalanche of other companies doing the same. Mississippi Governor Tate 0:04:15.960 --> 0:04:21.120 Reeves came out and commended them for doing so, tweeting quote, 0:04:21.200 --> 0:04:25.599 God will not be mocked. That's a scripture verse end quote. 0:04:26.320 --> 0:04:29.640 So I think that this is wonderful. The backlash that 0:04:29.680 --> 0:04:32.560 we have seen just goes to show people are not 0:04:32.800 --> 0:04:37.159 okay with these kind of flagrant displays of what can 0:04:37.200 --> 0:04:39.680 only be described as uta degenerates k. 0:04:40.000 --> 0:04:42.240 A measure of how big the backlash was is that 0:04:42.680 --> 0:04:46.320 introducing the South Korean team as the North Korean team 0:04:46.320 --> 0:04:49.039 has been reduced to a footnote of the opening ceremony 0:04:49.920 --> 0:04:52.640 of the. 0:04:51.920 --> 0:04:56.240 Putting the Olympic flag up the flagpole upside down like. 0:04:56.240 --> 0:04:58.840 That was quite symbolic of the entire thing, Like you. 0:04:58.880 --> 0:05:02.600 Had run job to put the Olympic flag up the 0:05:02.640 --> 0:05:05.520 pole the right way, and they couldn't even manage to 0:05:05.600 --> 0:05:09.360 do that. But this nonsense about it being about diversity, 0:05:09.680 --> 0:05:12.680 I didn't see much diversity in the religions that they 0:05:12.720 --> 0:05:15.320 went after. At the end point ceremony. Yeah, there was 0:05:15.440 --> 0:05:18.719 only one under attack, right And if ever there was 0:05:18.760 --> 0:05:20.920 a time, because of course everyone should be free to 0:05:21.000 --> 0:05:23.640 lampoon any religion they want, if ever there was a 0:05:23.680 --> 0:05:27.680 time an event where you had like pretty much every 0:05:27.760 --> 0:05:31.839 country in the world, people representative of every religion in 0:05:31.880 --> 0:05:34.839 the world in one place, so you could go the 0:05:34.880 --> 0:05:36.359 whole lot at the same time. 0:05:36.640 --> 0:05:38.760 Oh no, no, we're not going to do that. 0:05:39.040 --> 0:05:40.880 We're just going to go after the one that we 0:05:40.960 --> 0:05:43.640 know will not result in either having a bullet in 0:05:43.680 --> 0:05:46.919 your head or your head cut off. And France is 0:05:46.960 --> 0:05:50.880 the greatest example of the dangers of going after certain religions, 0:05:51.080 --> 0:05:53.880 because let's not forget about Charlie hebdo. I mean that 0:05:53.920 --> 0:05:57.360 they are very cognizant in France of what happens when 0:05:57.400 --> 0:05:59.039 you go after particular religions. 0:05:59.160 --> 0:06:00.560 In that case it was Islam. 0:06:01.120 --> 0:06:05.159 Muhammad was drawn and that resulted in the death of people, 0:06:05.480 --> 0:06:08.000 a terrorist attack as a result of that of course 0:06:08.000 --> 0:06:10.600 there'll be nothing, no kind of retribution of that sort 0:06:10.640 --> 0:06:13.160 to this as well, there should not be, but he 0:06:13.480 --> 0:06:17.560 just shows how weak they are in their conviction in 0:06:17.680 --> 0:06:20.960 standing up for quote unquote diversity, that they're not willing 0:06:21.000 --> 0:06:23.719 to go after pretty much every other religion in the world, 0:06:23.920 --> 0:06:27.919 which also has an issue with transgenderism and homosexuality and whatever. 0:06:28.120 --> 0:06:29.560 It's just the easiest one to go after. 0:06:29.760 --> 0:06:33.440 And the hypocrisy was highlighted by a Brazilian surfer who's 0:06:33.480 --> 0:06:36.440 competing at the Olympics, and two weeks before the game 0:06:36.600 --> 0:06:39.839 started he was told to remove an image of Jesus 0:06:39.880 --> 0:06:42.840 from his surfboard. He's a Christian surfer. He had an 0:06:42.839 --> 0:06:45.920 image of Christ on his surfboard. You can see it there. 0:06:46.279 --> 0:06:47.960 He was asked to remove it because one of the 0:06:47.960 --> 0:06:52.520 Olympic rules is that they are religious religiously neutral. So 0:06:52.560 --> 0:06:55.080 he complied with that. So that's fine, happy to do that. 0:06:55.360 --> 0:06:58.600 He's now competing, but of course there's the opening ceremony 0:06:58.760 --> 0:07:02.120 was not neutral came to religion, as Caleb has so 0:07:02.240 --> 0:07:03.120 well pointed. 0:07:02.839 --> 0:07:05.880 Out, none whatsoever, And the surfer could have easily argue 0:07:05.960 --> 0:07:06.600 that that is. 0:07:06.560 --> 0:07:08.440 A Brazilian icon Christ. 0:07:08.480 --> 0:07:12.120 The Redeemer standing atop that mountain was voted one of 0:07:12.120 --> 0:07:14.360 the new seven Wonders of the World back in two 0:07:14.400 --> 0:07:18.280 thousand and seven. One hundred million people voted, and that 0:07:18.400 --> 0:07:19.560 one got the gong. 0:07:19.800 --> 0:07:22.040 So he could have just as easily been like, ang 0:07:22.040 --> 0:07:22.960 it a minute, this is. 0:07:23.040 --> 0:07:23.840 I'm from Brazil. 0:07:23.960 --> 0:07:27.800 I'm a Brazilian surfer. This is a Brazilian icon. 0:07:28.360 --> 0:07:31.000 Why are you guys making this into anything else? But 0:07:31.040 --> 0:07:34.320 of course it does highlight the hypocrisy that he was 0:07:34.360 --> 0:07:37.360 told that he had to remove it because quote, the 0:07:37.480 --> 0:07:42.480 games have strict rules and focus on total neutrality. 0:07:42.600 --> 0:07:43.600 Well, they broke their own. 0:07:43.600 --> 0:07:46.440 Rules, didn't they, And they only seem to break those 0:07:46.800 --> 0:07:51.000 when it pertains to Christianity an unpopular opinion. I almost 0:07:51.080 --> 0:07:56.320 take this as a backhanded compliment because they know this 0:07:56.520 --> 0:07:59.560 is the religion which founded the Western world and the 0:07:59.640 --> 0:08:04.600 value that we all hold dear. They know Christianity, Catholicism, 0:08:04.760 --> 0:08:08.560 these ones are the natural enemy of every single agenda 0:08:08.640 --> 0:08:12.480 we roll out, whether it's LGBTIQ issues, whether it's the 0:08:12.520 --> 0:08:16.880 world's about to implode, climate change, climate communism, everyone get 0:08:16.960 --> 0:08:17.520 on board. 0:08:17.960 --> 0:08:20.840 This is the religion that is the problem. 0:08:20.560 --> 0:08:24.840 Child and will continue to be the biggest pain in 0:08:24.880 --> 0:08:26.160 their neck going forward. 0:08:26.200 --> 0:08:28.480 I think it's been heartening though, to as you sort 0:08:28.520 --> 0:08:31.920 of pointed out before, is to see the almost unanimous 0:08:32.280 --> 0:08:35.280 worldwide response to all of this, like people are just tendering. 0:08:35.679 --> 0:08:38.000 For heaven's sake, this is the Olympics. 0:08:38.040 --> 0:08:41.719 Like it's hard to think of a more wholesome, unifying 0:08:41.800 --> 0:08:44.920 event in the world than the Olympics coming together to 0:08:44.960 --> 0:08:46.960 celebrate all these sports that we really don't give a 0:08:47.000 --> 0:08:50.200 toss about for the other four years that we wait 0:08:50.320 --> 0:08:52.600 for the next Olympics to come along. But we all 0:08:52.640 --> 0:08:55.560 get behind our country, everyone else gets behind their country, 0:08:55.600 --> 0:08:58.920 and we celebrate the athleticism and everyone coming together to 0:08:59.000 --> 0:09:01.320 compete at the event under the one. 0:09:01.160 --> 0:09:02.319 Flag, et cetera. 0:09:02.640 --> 0:09:07.040 And the stuff that was displayed, you know, women with 0:09:07.200 --> 0:09:10.160 beards and all these transgender people whatever else. 0:09:10.040 --> 0:09:11.960 Otherwise well, yeah, correct. 0:09:12.559 --> 0:09:15.320 There was a great piece on sky news dot com 0:09:15.320 --> 0:09:18.720 dot au today by our resident child psychologists, clear Row, 0:09:18.840 --> 0:09:21.520 explaining that you know, she watched it with her kid 0:09:22.000 --> 0:09:25.720 and her kids asking the question like, what's this all about? 0:09:26.000 --> 0:09:29.520 Why is that blue man naked? Why are these why 0:09:29.679 --> 0:09:31.760 is there someone here presenting as a woman but with 0:09:31.880 --> 0:09:34.480 a beard, like use lots of people would have sat 0:09:34.559 --> 0:09:37.360 down to watch the opening ceremony, thinking that it was 0:09:37.400 --> 0:09:40.240 a family friendly event, it was good for everyone, and 0:09:40.280 --> 0:09:42.080 it'll be lovely and we'll have a nice whale of 0:09:42.120 --> 0:09:44.600 a time, and they walked away from it or sat 0:09:44.679 --> 0:09:45.840 on the couch watching it. 0:09:45.760 --> 0:09:48.599 Going my god, I now have to explain. 0:09:48.320 --> 0:09:51.560 Things to my kids that I really didn't want to explain. 0:09:51.800 --> 0:09:54.000 It's pushed down your throat and again we go back 0:09:54.000 --> 0:09:56.800 to the point of diversity. Okay, you want to talk 0:09:56.800 --> 0:10:00.720 about diversity. Diversity is one thing, but telling us that 0:10:00.800 --> 0:10:04.480 we must then watch participate be part of this at. 0:10:04.400 --> 0:10:08.040 All, abortion of the discussion is wrong, and that's what 0:10:08.080 --> 0:10:08.880 they're trying to do. 0:10:09.000 --> 0:10:10.840 Of course, the only question you should be asking about 0:10:10.840 --> 0:10:14.439 the Olympic Games is why breakdancing is included, not why 0:10:14.559 --> 0:10:15.960 it's skateboarding. 0:10:16.679 --> 0:10:18.880 I wanted a bit to that last night, All. 0:10:19.160 --> 0:10:21.079 The same, I'm sitting at home watching fourteen year old 0:10:21.080 --> 0:10:23.560 girls skateboard. I thought they were quite impressible. 0:10:24.160 --> 0:10:26.800 Guys, you guys, you need to learn the apps. They've 0:10:26.840 --> 0:10:29.079 got like forty different apps. 0:10:29.120 --> 0:10:30.120 I'm just sitting. 0:10:29.840 --> 0:10:34.200 There like literally chain smoking all the gymnastics. 0:10:34.600 --> 0:10:37.439 But I mean the hypocrisy you can't show an actual 0:10:37.480 --> 0:10:40.719 depiction of Jesus, but you can show a depiction of 0:10:40.800 --> 0:10:45.520 Jesus as an abast lesbian surrounded by transgendered people. Joe 0:10:45.520 --> 0:10:47.680 Biden was asked what she thought of the ceremony, and 0:10:48.040 --> 0:10:50.520 she had quite a different tape. Yes, she is. 0:10:51.080 --> 0:10:55.800 It was spectacular. The rain did not dampen our spirits. 0:10:56.520 --> 0:10:59.640 And Casey, honestly, every step of the way, I was 0:10:59.679 --> 0:11:02.080 thinking to myself, Oh my god, Oh my god, how 0:11:02.080 --> 0:11:02.880 are we going to top this? 0:11:03.040 --> 0:11:04.000 How are we going to top this? 0:11:05.040 --> 0:11:09.040 So okay, So Paris has the you know, Eiffel Tower, 0:11:09.720 --> 0:11:15.960 but we have Hollywood and right and the magic of 0:11:16.040 --> 0:11:19.400 Hollywood that makes all dreams come true. So I think 0:11:19.400 --> 0:11:21.800 we're going to be okay. 0:11:21.840 --> 0:11:23.839 If you want to top the Paras opening ceremony, it's 0:11:23.880 --> 0:11:27.280 not difficult. Just don't have drag queens ficturing. But I mean, 0:11:27.320 --> 0:11:30.679 the mind boggles if the Biden administration slash Kamala Harris 0:11:30.679 --> 0:11:33.720 administration did try to top it. This is an administration 0:11:33.880 --> 0:11:39.199 that spent Easter Sunday honoring Transgender Visibility Day. That was 0:11:39.240 --> 0:11:42.199 an administration that had a pride event at the White 0:11:42.280 --> 0:11:47.000 House where a transgendered activist famously bared his breasts. This 0:11:47.080 --> 0:11:49.480 is an administration where one of the only sit down 0:11:49.520 --> 0:11:53.200 interviews Joe Biden ever did was with Dylan Mulvainy, a 0:11:53.320 --> 0:11:55.920 man parading as a woman, and can you believe that 0:11:56.000 --> 0:11:59.319 they talked about women's rights. So when Jill Biden says 0:11:59.600 --> 0:12:02.800 the the paras ceremony was spectacular, but how could we 0:12:02.960 --> 0:12:05.160 top it? Or I dread the thought list? 0:12:05.520 --> 0:12:08.360 My god, it actually got me really nostalgic. It got 0:12:08.360 --> 0:12:12.880 me watching opening ceremonies from decades past, even ones before 0:12:12.960 --> 0:12:13.640 I was born. 0:12:13.760 --> 0:12:15.720 The Chinese Communist Party did a great. 0:12:18.000 --> 0:12:22.280 It was absolutely like a hair standing up on your arms. 0:12:22.280 --> 0:12:22.920 Incredible. 0:12:23.120 --> 0:12:26.680 I was watching the one back in nineteen eighty in Moscow. 0:12:26.920 --> 0:12:30.720 Just incredible, but wholesome. That is something that they all 0:12:30.840 --> 0:12:34.800 had in common. It was just a wholesome celebration showing 0:12:34.840 --> 0:12:39.319 off what Each country has their own best arts, whether 0:12:39.360 --> 0:12:42.760 it's their music, their orchestras, but they roll out their 0:12:43.000 --> 0:12:48.320 very best to showcase on the international stage. And this 0:12:48.400 --> 0:12:50.839 is what we get from France. This is what we 0:12:50.920 --> 0:12:51.840 get from France. 0:12:52.480 --> 0:12:54.760 It's no great surprise, though, because when you look at 0:12:54.840 --> 0:12:56.600 the rest of what's going on at the Olympics like 0:12:56.600 --> 0:12:57.359 that gone. 0:12:57.120 --> 0:12:58.840 Full wacko left. 0:12:59.240 --> 0:13:02.840 Don't look at the the athlete's village where they're all 0:13:02.880 --> 0:13:06.880 sleeping on cardboard beds. I mean, can you imagine trying 0:13:06.920 --> 0:13:09.200 to get up and go swimming or running or whatever 0:13:09.240 --> 0:13:11.200 it is and perform to the best of your ability 0:13:11.440 --> 0:13:14.800 after spending a night on a cardboard bed. But it 0:13:14.880 --> 0:13:18.559 also turns out that they had some edicts that sixty 0:13:18.600 --> 0:13:21.840 percent of the food that was to be supplied to 0:13:21.880 --> 0:13:24.360 the athletes had to be vegan. 0:13:24.520 --> 0:13:26.200 Well, it turns out that people. 0:13:25.960 --> 0:13:28.280 Who were trying to perform to the best of their 0:13:28.320 --> 0:13:32.480 athletic ability don't eat vegan, and so they ran out 0:13:32.480 --> 0:13:36.160 of meat in the athlete's village very quickly. 0:13:36.320 --> 0:13:38.080 They had to go and order more meat. 0:13:38.160 --> 0:13:41.240 Because what a surprise, The athletes went for the protein 0:13:41.320 --> 0:13:43.200 as opposed to all this vegan food. 0:13:43.000 --> 0:13:44.880 That they lined up for them. What did they think 0:13:45.040 --> 0:13:45.640 was going to happen? 0:13:45.840 --> 0:13:47.520 You're saying the same bolt is not a vegan. 0:13:47.640 --> 0:13:48.600 What a surprise. 0:13:49.080 --> 0:13:51.280 Believe we're all going to turn up and go, oh yeah, 0:13:51.320 --> 0:13:53.640 we're all going to eat vegan for the next two weeks. 0:13:53.760 --> 0:13:55.400 Like they lost the plot. 0:13:55.559 --> 0:13:58.600 It It just shows what happens when you prioritize ideology 0:13:58.720 --> 0:14:02.280 over everything else, and when you assume that everyone else 0:14:02.280 --> 0:14:05.640 in the world must share your sort of niche luxury views. 0:14:06.200 --> 0:14:10.040 It gets worse. No air conditioning and it's going to 0:14:10.080 --> 0:14:10.760 be in the mid. 0:14:10.679 --> 0:14:15.199 Thirties in the coming days. Thankfully, the Australian team we 0:14:15.280 --> 0:14:20.560 read today has their own portable air conditioners, so they're like, okay. 0:14:20.720 --> 0:14:22.440 We've dodged that bullet. 0:14:22.680 --> 0:14:27.800 But also crowded buses with no airflow. They're probably electric generated. 0:14:28.280 --> 0:14:32.040 I mean, these are the best from all around the world. 0:14:32.200 --> 0:14:36.120 It's worse supposed to be busting them all in to impress, 0:14:36.520 --> 0:14:39.760 to impress, and these are the reports that we're receiving 0:14:40.240 --> 0:14:41.960 just days into this. 0:14:41.960 --> 0:14:44.600 This half the US women's tennis team. There were ten 0:14:44.640 --> 0:14:47.280 of them, but to half of them left after all 0:14:47.320 --> 0:14:51.120 ten were forced to share two bathrooms. Oh my, you know, 0:14:51.360 --> 0:14:52.200 of all the problems. 0:14:52.520 --> 0:14:57.040 This is like dormitory room stuff exactly for the best 0:14:57.120 --> 0:15:01.240 athletes in the world. But let's talk about election interference, 0:15:01.280 --> 0:15:06.000 shall we. Back in twenty sixteen was the Russian collusion hopes. 0:15:06.400 --> 0:15:09.320 The media was all over it, driving it hard, and 0:15:09.440 --> 0:15:12.720 big tech was right there with them doing their darndist 0:15:13.120 --> 0:15:16.440 in twenty twenty, it was the Hunter Biden laptop story. 0:15:16.520 --> 0:15:19.440 Oh no, it's not really his laptop, or wait, it 0:15:19.680 --> 0:15:22.600 is his laptop, or we're just going to suppress the 0:15:22.640 --> 0:15:26.640 heck out of that story prior to the elections, so 0:15:26.760 --> 0:15:29.160 it doesn't have any effect on the result. 0:15:29.200 --> 0:15:31.360 Well, this year, they seem to have. 0:15:31.400 --> 0:15:35.720 Taken a slightly different tack. People have brought to the 0:15:35.760 --> 0:15:40.720 world's attention again via x via Twitter. Thank goodness Elon 0:15:40.840 --> 0:15:42.680 Musk bought that platform. 0:15:43.080 --> 0:15:44.200 They're telling everyone. 0:15:44.440 --> 0:15:49.000 I am trying to ask AI about the assassination attempt 0:15:49.280 --> 0:15:53.520 on Donald Trump's life, and according to AI, it just 0:15:53.840 --> 0:15:58.760 didn't happen. Check out the screenshot shared by Elon Musk. 0:15:59.120 --> 0:16:02.240 He says, tell me about the assassination attempt on Trump. 0:16:03.040 --> 0:16:05.400 AI says, I can't assist you with that. I don't 0:16:05.400 --> 0:16:07.800 always have access to the most up to date information. 0:16:07.880 --> 0:16:11.800 Can I help you with anything else? Bill Board Chris 0:16:11.920 --> 0:16:12.960 tried his luck. 0:16:13.320 --> 0:16:16.840 He typed in, why is there rich and structured information 0:16:16.920 --> 0:16:20.720 about Harris campaign but not about the Trump assassination attempt? 0:16:21.040 --> 0:16:24.240 And AI said, Oh, the reason for the disparity and 0:16:24.320 --> 0:16:27.560 information is due to the fact that the Trump assassination 0:16:27.720 --> 0:16:32.680 attempt is a fictional event, whereas Kamala Harris's twenty twenty 0:16:32.680 --> 0:16:34.880 four presidential campaign is a. 0:16:34.840 --> 0:16:37.080 Real and ongoing event. 0:16:37.280 --> 0:16:43.040 Ladies and gentlemen, this is election interference by big tech, 0:16:43.240 --> 0:16:46.800 plane and simple. You don't have to be an expert. 0:16:47.200 --> 0:16:50.320 You can even go online right now and type into 0:16:50.440 --> 0:16:56.720 Google assassination attempt. Try Trump. Try typing in Donald, Try 0:16:56.760 --> 0:17:01.120 typing in Trump. Look what comes up if you even 0:17:01.280 --> 0:17:04.040 try to search for his name again a tweet by 0:17:04.119 --> 0:17:11.400 Elon Musk. Instead you get President Donald Duck, President Donald Reagan. 0:17:12.000 --> 0:17:15.440 President Donald Duck is turning in his grave right now? 0:17:15.480 --> 0:17:16.640 What is going on? 0:17:17.000 --> 0:17:20.639 Elon Musk writes, Wow, Google has a search ban on 0:17:20.840 --> 0:17:22.159 President Donald Trump. 0:17:22.480 --> 0:17:29.040 Election interference. I can't even search for Trump's name. It 0:17:29.160 --> 0:17:32.200 seems every single election year. 0:17:32.400 --> 0:17:36.200 The Democrats, They're not even smart about it. 0:17:36.280 --> 0:17:40.480 This isn't a sleight of hand. It is just so obvious. 0:17:41.040 --> 0:17:42.680 So people voters. 0:17:43.119 --> 0:17:47.000 There's people in Canada sharing the same Here in Australia, 0:17:47.040 --> 0:17:50.480 We've all tried and discovered it's true all over America. 0:17:50.720 --> 0:17:55.120 This is probably worldwide. People can't even find the guy. 0:17:55.280 --> 0:17:58.040 So if you are curious in America and you still 0:17:58.040 --> 0:18:00.520 want to know a bit more about this guy, good. 0:18:00.400 --> 0:18:02.840 Luck even finding him on the interweed. 0:18:03.119 --> 0:18:05.440 It's not a great advertisement for AI. Is that when 0:18:05.480 --> 0:18:07.760 AI is telling us that what we all saw with 0:18:07.840 --> 0:18:11.679 our own eyes just two weeks ago was complete fiction 0:18:11.760 --> 0:18:14.320 and that we actually never saw it. So who would 0:18:14.320 --> 0:18:16.359 ever trust AI? And you listed the example of you know, 0:18:16.440 --> 0:18:19.240 Hunter Biden's laptop, but then there's plenty of other examples 0:18:19.280 --> 0:18:22.000 as well where big tech have interfered. They famously banned 0:18:22.000 --> 0:18:26.760 Donald Trump from Facebook and Twitter for a period. Instagram 0:18:26.800 --> 0:18:30.680 recently adjusted everybody's settings without telling them so they would 0:18:30.680 --> 0:18:33.920 not receive political information unless they went in and manually 0:18:34.359 --> 0:18:37.760 chose to receive it, whereas previously they had. So this 0:18:37.840 --> 0:18:40.719 is just the latest example in a litany of examples 0:18:40.760 --> 0:18:43.960 about how big tech have tried to interfere, all the 0:18:43.960 --> 0:18:45.760 while claiming we never interfered. 0:18:45.880 --> 0:18:49.160 And this is why these companies need to be treated 0:18:49.200 --> 0:18:52.680 as publishers just like media companies are, because they are 0:18:52.720 --> 0:18:56.960 making editorial value judgments about the content they put in 0:18:57.000 --> 0:19:00.280 front of you on the basis of ideology. And we 0:19:00.359 --> 0:19:03.080 know that media companies do that and have forever more 0:19:03.200 --> 0:19:04.680 and you've generally been able to. 0:19:04.640 --> 0:19:05.360 Make a choice. 0:19:05.440 --> 0:19:08.159 You know, I read this particular paper because it's generally 0:19:08.160 --> 0:19:10.040 a paper that agrees with my views, or I read 0:19:10.040 --> 0:19:12.920 this particular paper because this is why some people read 0:19:12.920 --> 0:19:15.119 the Guardian and other people read the Telegraph. Right, we 0:19:15.160 --> 0:19:17.800 all know that it's always operated like that, But these 0:19:17.880 --> 0:19:20.840 companies have set themselves up as though they're just part 0:19:20.880 --> 0:19:23.760 of the public square. You can come along and say 0:19:23.760 --> 0:19:27.480 whatever you like, and that's fine, but they're making editorial 0:19:27.560 --> 0:19:29.800 judgments about the content they put in front of you. 0:19:30.119 --> 0:19:31.359 If that's the game. 0:19:31.119 --> 0:19:34.800 They want to play, they should be regulated in exactly 0:19:34.840 --> 0:19:36.560 the same way as the media is. 0:19:36.840 --> 0:19:38.639 You can't have it both ways. 0:19:38.800 --> 0:19:41.320 Either you are the public square and you're all about 0:19:41.320 --> 0:19:44.600 free speech, or you're a publishing company and then you 0:19:44.600 --> 0:19:46.439 have to abide by all the same rules that the 0:19:46.440 --> 0:19:50.000 rest of us do, including defamation, and that would be 0:19:50.040 --> 0:19:53.720 a real killer for people like people companies like Facebook 0:19:53.840 --> 0:19:54.960 if they had to deal with that. 0:19:55.160 --> 0:19:56.440 But then you're just social media. 0:19:56.480 --> 0:19:58.080 We're talking about Google, Google. 0:19:58.600 --> 0:20:02.399 About a search? Can you please by Google? 0:20:04.720 --> 0:20:07.040 And it went even further with Google, like even if 0:20:07.040 --> 0:20:11.560 you put in an assassination attempt, right, and you would think, 0:20:11.600 --> 0:20:13.720 like the biggest news story of the last two weeks 0:20:13.760 --> 0:20:17.640 has been Trump the attempt at assassination attempt, the suggestions 0:20:17.640 --> 0:20:18.480 that comes up. 0:20:18.400 --> 0:20:20.720 With when you put in assassination attempt. 0:20:20.800 --> 0:20:26.800 Truman, Reagan, Fidel Castro, Slovakia, Bob Marley, Lennon, Gerald Ford, 0:20:26.920 --> 0:20:32.040 Teddy Roosevelt, Saudi Arabia, John Paul the Second, and Franklin Roosevelt. 0:20:32.080 --> 0:20:34.040 No mention of Trump there. Then if you put in 0:20:34.200 --> 0:20:37.880 assassination Trump, so you've left the p on I think 0:20:37.920 --> 0:20:41.840 by that point that Google would work out. No, not 0:20:41.880 --> 0:20:46.680 even then it says Truman or President Truman or Harry Truman. 0:20:46.920 --> 0:20:50.000 And if you put the whole damn thing in assassination 0:20:50.400 --> 0:20:56.600 attempt Trump, there's not one single search suggestion underneath it. 0:20:56.600 --> 0:20:59.399 It is a decision they have made to try to 0:20:59.520 --> 0:20:59.919 hide that. 0:21:00.480 --> 0:21:04.200 It was subliminally to hide that content from people. And again, 0:21:04.400 --> 0:21:06.800 if that's what they want to do, come and play 0:21:06.840 --> 0:21:08.439 in the tent with the rest of us, because I 0:21:08.440 --> 0:21:10.680 don't think they're going to enjoy doing that very much. 0:21:10.680 --> 0:21:15.200 And what's really damning is they've done this while it's 0:21:15.240 --> 0:21:18.320 one of the top searchers on Google Trends, so they 0:21:18.640 --> 0:21:22.359 know there are millions of people searching for details on 0:21:22.400 --> 0:21:22.800 this thing. 0:21:23.160 --> 0:21:25.639 We're just going to pretend like it didn't happen. 0:21:26.480 --> 0:21:29.080 Good one and good good luck, Sorry James, so well. 0:21:29.080 --> 0:21:30.439
