The Albanezi 20 00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:19,679 Speaker 2: government's latest budget projected that Australia's birth rate will four 21 00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:23,440 Speaker 2: to one point four this financial out. That's well below 22 00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:26,640 Speaker 2: the rate of two point one. The ABS says we 23 00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:31,440 Speaker 2: need to maintain a stable population and now former Treasurer 24 00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:35,119 Speaker 2: Repetic Costello, who famously gave out three thousand dollars baby 25 00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:39,039 Speaker 2: bonuses in his twenty two thousand and two budget, is 26 00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:44,039 Speaker 2: warning that productivity is about to crash further. He told 27 00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:48,040 Speaker 2: The Australian we are facing stronger headwinds in the future 28 00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:52,880 Speaker 2: with fertility decline and an increase in the age dependency ratio. 29 00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:57,520 Speaker 2: That means all other things being equal, productivity growth will 30 00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:00,440 Speaker 2: be less. Joining me now for more on this, senior 31 00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:03,280 Speaker 2: fellow and Chief Economists at the Institute of. 32 00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:06,360 Speaker 1: Public Affairs, Adam Crichton. Adam, we have. 33 00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:09,840 Speaker 2: Lots of policies aimed at young people in this election, 34 00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:13,240 Speaker 2: a lot of focus on first home buyers, but really 35 00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:17,320 Speaker 2: nothing on this very crucial issue, and it. 36 00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:18,800 Speaker 1: Speaks about so much. 37 00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:22,480 Speaker 2: It speaks about all sorts of societal issues as well 38 00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:23,600 Speaker 2: as economic issues. 39 00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:25,519 Speaker 4: Well, certainly, one of the reasons why I think young 40 00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:27,840 Speaker 4: couples are not having children is because of two high 41 00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:30,359 Speaker 4: house prices and yet the housing policies that have been 42 00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:32,720 Speaker 4: proposed in this selection will actually push up those prices 43 00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:36,160 Speaker 4: even more. So far from having no policies on the issue, 44 00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:39,320 Speaker 4: the policies are actually bad for the issue. It's you know, 45 00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:42,320 Speaker 4: it is a glaring emission that there's nothing nothing being 46 00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:44,640 Speaker 4: said on either side of politics about this serious issue. 47 00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:46,720 Speaker 4: One point four is seriously low, and I would say 48 00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:48,320 Speaker 4: it's actually worse than that if you look at the 49 00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:49,359 Speaker 4: native born population. 50 00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:51,919 Speaker 1: So often talk about record low. 51 00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:54,639 Speaker 4: So often it's migrant communities who have a lot of children. 52 00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:56,920 Speaker 4: So the native born communities is having even less. 53 00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:57,520 Speaker 5: Than one point four. 54 00:02:57,840 --> 00:02:59,520 Speaker 4: And the problem in this country is we've just relied 55 00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:02,160 Speaker 4: on immigrant for so long, mass immigration. You know, we 56 00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:04,320 Speaker 4: had one point two million people come into this country 57 00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:07,440 Speaker 4: in net terms in just three years from twenty twenty 58 00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:10,600 Speaker 4: two to now, and so no one's looking at this. 59 00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:12,640 Speaker 4: So if we slow the immigration down, we're going to 60 00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:15,200 Speaker 4: notice the birth rate effect much much more. We could 61 00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:18,160 Speaker 4: get creative like hungry for instance, where where I think 62 00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:20,800 Speaker 4: recently there's a law change there that if a woman 63 00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:23,600 Speaker 4: has four kids, she never pays income tax again. 64 00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:25,839 Speaker 5: So that's a creative solution that may or may not work. 65 00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:28,080 Speaker 4: But you know, but we should note that governments around 66 00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:31,240 Speaker 4: the world have tried throwing money at families to. 67 00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:33,040 Speaker 5: Have children, and it's very very hard. I mean the 68 00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:35,200 Speaker 5: Japanese government case in point. I mean the birth rate 69 00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:37,040 Speaker 5: there is even lower, the population. 70 00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:39,800 Speaker 4: Shrinking very fast, and they spend a fortune on trying 71 00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:40,480 Speaker 4: to get, you know. 72 00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:41,920 Speaker 5: To get women to have children. I mean some of 73 00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:42,760 Speaker 5: it is psychological. 74 00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:45,080 Speaker 4: We've got so much, you know, so much climate change 75 00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:49,800 Speaker 4: propaganda that some very misled young people are scared to 76 00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:50,320 Speaker 4: have children. 77 00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:52,480 Speaker 5: So that's another issue to absolutely. 78 00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:56,080 Speaker 2: I think it speaks about all sorts of issues in 79 00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:58,560 Speaker 2: a country when people don't want to have kids. I 80 00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:01,480 Speaker 2: think it's even deeper than just housing cost and cost 81 00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:02,400 Speaker 2: of living pressures. 82 00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:04,320 Speaker 1: And you're right about Hungary. 83 00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:08,120 Speaker 2: They are instituted a raft of policies and they are working. 84 00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:11,440 Speaker 2: They have seen their birth rate booth, and you don't 85 00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:12,400 Speaker 2: have to have four kids. 86 00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:12,960 Speaker 1: They're not that. 87 00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:15,480 Speaker 2: You can have just one child as a woman and 88 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:18,560 Speaker 2: you'll get a twenty five percent discount on your income 89 00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:21,960 Speaker 2: tax rate that you're charged, and you have two kids 90 00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:25,480 Speaker 2: fifty percent discounts, So there's a real incentive. But I 91 00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:28,919 Speaker 2: think Australia we just rely on immigration, and we don't 92 00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:31,080 Speaker 2: see this as a real issue because we'll just bring 93 00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:31,760 Speaker 2: in more people. 94 00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:33,800 Speaker 4: Look, there's a crazy belief out there too that the 95 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:37,080 Speaker 4: world's population is spiring out of control. Well, actually, as 96 00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:39,560 Speaker 4: Elon Musk always points out, it's actually going to be 97 00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:40,320 Speaker 4: spiring out. 98 00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:42,760 Speaker 5: Of control in a downward direction pretty soon. Birth rates 99 00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:46,359 Speaker 5: are falling everywhere, so even China. We are sharing it 100 00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:47,200 Speaker 5: in China as well. 101 00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:48,440 Speaker 1: It's ont due today. 102 00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:53,080 Speaker 2: One Child policy is now seeing the impact of that, 103 00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:55,680 Speaker 2: and it's going to be devastating for them in the 104 00:04:55,680 --> 00:05:00,320 Speaker 2: medium term. Now, let's talk about the Smart Energy sol 105 00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:04,039 Speaker 2: a green lobby group with links to labor and this 106 00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:07,279 Speaker 2: We've got a senior advisor who's at Simon Holmes the Court. 107 00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:08,120 Speaker 6: You've heard of him. 108 00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:12,160 Speaker 2: Well, the Smart Energy Council has been court accepting thousands 109 00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:16,440 Speaker 2: of dollars in funding from renewable energy companies accused of 110 00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:20,600 Speaker 2: using Wiga slave labor in China. One of those firms 111 00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:24,800 Speaker 2: is a major Chinese solar panel manufacturer, Jinko Solar. 112 00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:26,000 Speaker 1: And Simon Homes. 113 00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:28,560 Speaker 2: The Court actually attended a tour of one of their 114 00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:31,920 Speaker 2: Chinese factories back in twenty nineteen as part of a 115 00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:35,800 Speaker 2: delegation led by the Smart Energy Council. The council has 116 00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:39,320 Speaker 2: a track record of donating to the ALP and has 117 00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:43,440 Speaker 2: run campaigns telling voters to bin the Coalition. It is 118 00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:47,960 Speaker 2: responsible for the disputed claim that the opposition's nuclear policy 119 00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:49,200 Speaker 2: will cost six. 120 00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:50,839 Speaker 1: Hundred billion Adam. 121 00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:56,480 Speaker 2: I struggle to understand how this mob, this group enjoys 122 00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:57,680 Speaker 2: charity status. 123 00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:01,480 Speaker 4: Well, they always give themselves fancy names, smart energy Councils, 124 00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:04,080 Speaker 4: to give the illusion of, you know, that it's bipartisan, 125 00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:04,839 Speaker 4: when it's clearly not. 126 00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:06,560 Speaker 5: These are just highly political outfits. 127 00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:09,200 Speaker 4: The six hundred billion dollar figure, Actually the coalition should 128 00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:11,839 Speaker 4: be pushing back more against that. 129 00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:12,920 Speaker 5: I mean, where does it come from. 130 00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:15,520 Speaker 4: And let's face it, even if it's even if it's true, 131 00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:17,440 Speaker 4: at least we would get some nuclear powers, yes, for 132 00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:20,359 Speaker 4: the six hundred rather than rather than borrowing five hundred 133 00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:23,240 Speaker 4: billion during COVID for everyone to stay at home. 134 00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:26,480 Speaker 5: But you know, the point here. 135 00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:28,160 Speaker 4: From this that I drew it was just the extraordinary 136 00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:30,200 Speaker 4: hypocrisy on the left with climate change, that you've got 137 00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:32,960 Speaker 4: this slave labor being used to you know, to build 138 00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:34,840 Speaker 4: the solar panels. And these are the same people who 139 00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:37,120 Speaker 4: would say, oh, we need the highest industrial standards, the 140 00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:40,719 Speaker 4: highest workplace standards, So you know, just just extraordinary hypocrisy. 141 00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:41,320 Speaker 5: I would say. 142 00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:47,880 Speaker 2: Now, the US is actively considering fifteen bespoke agreements with 143 00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:51,760 Speaker 2: fifteen unnamed countries, and the Wall Street Journal is reporting 144 00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:56,800 Speaker 2: that Treasury Scott Treasury Secretary of Scott percent is prioritizing 145 00:06:56,920 --> 00:07:04,040 Speaker 2: quick agreements with South Korea, Kingdom and Australia, prioritizing deals 146 00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:10,000 Speaker 2: with the US's strongest allies. Meanwhile, Adam, a top Chinese official, 147 00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:14,280 Speaker 2: has launched an extraordinary attack against President Trump and America 148 00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:17,080 Speaker 2: over the decision to slap a one hundred and forty 149 00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:19,360 Speaker 2: five percent levy on goods from China. 150 00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:22,760 Speaker 1: He called the move brutally unreasonable. 151 00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:27,320 Speaker 2: They're senior Chinese official who overseas Hong Kong and Macau said, 152 00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:31,960 Speaker 2: the US isn't after our tariffs, but our very survival. 153 00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:37,280 Speaker 1: Let those peasants in the un hited States whale in 154 00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:38,080 Speaker 1: front of the. 155 00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:41,440 Speaker 2: Five thousand years of Chinese civilization. 156 00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:43,560 Speaker 1: Goodness, may China's. 157 00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:46,360 Speaker 2: Not used to a powerful country standing up time. 158 00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:48,200 Speaker 5: I certainly not. Look, I mean, I'm not surprised that 159 00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:48,720 Speaker 5: they're angry. 160 00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:50,520 Speaker 4: I mean, some of the language it's quite amusing, but 161 00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:52,440 Speaker 4: we've got, you know, we have a bullfight here between 162 00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:54,480 Speaker 4: the two biggest balls in the world. So it's you know, 163 00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:57,360 Speaker 4: it could get get quite agro. Let's hope it never 164 00:07:57,360 --> 00:07:59,440 Speaker 4: gets to a military point. But on the trade front, 165 00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:01,080 Speaker 4: there's going to be a lot of tariffs slapped on 166 00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:04,120 Speaker 4: either side and hopefully Australia Australia comes out of it 167 00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:07,000 Speaker 4: okay in the end. But it's worth pointing out too, 168 00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:08,880 Speaker 4: you know, kind of your earlier story there about the 169 00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:09,960 Speaker 4: possibility of an. 170 00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:12,000 Speaker 5: Agreement with the US. I mean, we've done reasonably well 171 00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:12,400 Speaker 5: out of this. 172 00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:15,680 Speaker 4: There's tariffs of the tariffs have gone on all countries 173 00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:18,400 Speaker 4: and we've just got ten percent, and that may even 174 00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:20,440 Speaker 4: be lessened based on your story earlier. 175 00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:22,640 Speaker 5: So you know, I think there's been a huge hysterical 176 00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:26,080 Speaker 5: reaction about this policiciller and it's been completely over the top. 177 00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:29,080 Speaker 2: That's waiting to say, completely over the top, particularly when 178 00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:33,719 Speaker 2: you look at other nations who've got tariffs against our products. 179 00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:35,839 Speaker 1: And there seems to be a little objection there. 180 00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:38,520 Speaker 5: And so China going to stop you. I mean, China 181 00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:40,280 Speaker 5: basically blockaded. 182 00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:42,240 Speaker 4: Our coal for ages because we are any of our 183 00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:45,040 Speaker 4: farming products, and there was nowhere near the reaction here 184 00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:46,120 Speaker 4: that there has been with the US. 185 00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:47,640 Speaker 5: Please, ridiculous. 186 00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:48,679 Speaker 1: Ridiculous. 187 00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:52,240 Speaker 2: And also the way you're seeing people siding with this 188 00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:59,120 Speaker 2: communist regime, the communist regime that enslaves Wiguas because of 189 00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:03,600 Speaker 2: their religious leaves, that a slave labor, that Ain has 190 00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:08,360 Speaker 2: a political dissidents who are facing the death penalty. Well, 191 00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:13,240 Speaker 2: and you've got people who supposedly value human rights siding 192 00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:15,280 Speaker 2: with China because Donald Trump. 193 00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:16,440 Speaker 5: It's very telling. 194 00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:18,880 Speaker 4: I think they actually do like the Chinese model of 195 00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:20,120 Speaker 4: government more, even though. 196 00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:21,920 Speaker 5: They don't say it, and that's why they don't attack them. 197 00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:24,840 Speaker 4: They quite like the total aiteners and they think it's efficient, 198 00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:25,640 Speaker 4: they think it works. 199 00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:29,240 Speaker 5: They don't like the US idea of freedom. Yeah, that's 200 00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:30,199 Speaker 5: the real issue. 201 00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:33,360 Speaker 2: Now it's time to check in on the major party's 202 00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:37,160 Speaker 2: social media campaigns. This week, they've been spooking their new 203 00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:40,800 Speaker 2: housing policies. Let's have a look at what Labour put 204 00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:42,240 Speaker 2: up on their Instagram page. 205 00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:44,520 Speaker 7: I feel like our generation will actually be able to 206 00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:47,160 Speaker 7: buy our own homes now. I just saw Albo's announcement 207 00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:49,199 Speaker 7: that all first home buyers will only need a five 208 00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:51,959 Speaker 7: percent deposit, and Labour's going to build one hundred thousand 209 00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:54,360 Speaker 7: new homes just for first home buys that property investors 210 00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:55,360 Speaker 7: won't be able to bit on. 211 00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:57,600 Speaker 1: And we had this from the Libs. 212 00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:04,439 Speaker 8: Three hundred and forty homes are complete and as these 213 00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:07,680 Speaker 8: have been acquired and conversion into social and affordable housing. 214 00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:10,360 Speaker 5: So do you say acquired and converted? 215 00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:13,319 Speaker 1: Yes, that's my understanding. 216 00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:14,480 Speaker 5: What does that mean? 217 00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:17,920 Speaker 1: Well then yeah, no, you go. 218 00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:20,520 Speaker 6: I'll just go past to my team. 219 00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:22,120 Speaker 5: How many of the three forty were built and how 220 00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:22,880 Speaker 5: many were required? 221 00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:24,880 Speaker 1: Well, we'll see if we can provide you with that answer. 222 00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:29,040 Speaker 9: We can't afford three more years of labor authorized by 223 00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:30,000 Speaker 9: a host liberal camera. 224 00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:33,800 Speaker 2: Adam, I'll be speaking to an advertising expert shortly about 225 00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:35,559 Speaker 2: how the major parties are faring. 226 00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:39,360 Speaker 1: But what do you make of what you've seen so far? 227 00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:41,840 Speaker 2: Actually, before I get your answer, let's check in with 228 00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:42,720 Speaker 2: the Greens as well. 229 00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:43,480 Speaker 1: They matter. 230 00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:44,079 Speaker 5: They matter. 231 00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:46,760 Speaker 9: We've just been out doing being in Merrickville and it 232 00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:49,920 Speaker 9: is crystal clear that Palestine is absolutely on the minds 233 00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:52,960 Speaker 9: of people here. They are totally disappointed for the Albanezi 234 00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:56,080 Speaker 9: government's complicity in the genocide, and they're planning to send 235 00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:57,760 Speaker 9: him a message at the ballot box. 236 00:10:57,800 --> 00:10:58,920 Speaker 1: Will keep him dumbing out. 237 00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:02,400 Speaker 10: Balestine is an election issue, but so is the cost 238 00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:05,959 Speaker 10: of living, so is events going through the roof. 239 00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:08,120 Speaker 1: There you go. 240 00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:11,520 Speaker 2: The Green seem to think that Palestine is a major 241 00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:12,760 Speaker 2: election issue. 242 00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:14,599 Speaker 4: Look, that was the first takeaway there for me. I 243 00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:16,360 Speaker 4: mean they didn't even talk about the climate. They talked 244 00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:19,640 Speaker 4: about Gaza and basically keeping the Liberal Party out. 245 00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:22,000 Speaker 5: So they're just a highly political effort in organization. 246 00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:24,480 Speaker 4: Really, the climate is less and less an issue with 247 00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:26,880 Speaker 4: the other two ads. Well, I think the young woman 248 00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:28,199 Speaker 4: in the labor ad is going to get a rude 249 00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:30,680 Speaker 4: shock when house prices keep going up. The labor policy 250 00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:32,640 Speaker 4: is not going to make any difference. And of course 251 00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:35,880 Speaker 4: this is the the five percent deposit policy, which you know, 252 00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:37,240 Speaker 4: I mean think about it. Does it Does it make 253 00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:39,840 Speaker 4: sense to buy a million dollar asset with fifty thousand dollars? 254 00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:42,120 Speaker 5: I mean, what happens if the price goes down? Who's 255 00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:44,200 Speaker 5: I mean? Who I mean who actually cops the loss? There? Well, 256 00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:46,600 Speaker 5: this is a touchdoiler or the buyer. 257 00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:51,160 Speaker 2: Because so many on the left do want house prices 258 00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:54,840 Speaker 2: to drop. In fact, even Clara O'Neil got some criticism 259 00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:57,079 Speaker 2: because she said, we don't want to see prices drop. 260 00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:01,000 Speaker 2: These people don't seem to understand that if how's prices drop, 261 00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:05,240 Speaker 2: that is economic disaster for Australians and a great many 262 00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:09,760 Speaker 2: Australian households whose biggest asset is their home and they 263 00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:13,200 Speaker 2: often have got significant borrowings against that home. So if 264 00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:16,160 Speaker 2: that value of that asset drops, that is not a 265 00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:16,880 Speaker 2: healthy economy. 266 00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:17,360 Speaker 5: It's very true. 267 00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:19,880 Speaker 4: I'm instantly looking back through history. The biggest depressions are 268 00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:22,079 Speaker 4: caused by huge crashes in the property market, and I 269 00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:23,400 Speaker 4: think if we had one now, it would be a 270 00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:27,439 Speaker 4: very big depression. Indeed, look at you know, we've Australia's 271 00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:30,120 Speaker 4: got itself into this issue where we're extremely dependent on 272 00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:31,080 Speaker 4: house prices. 273 00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:32,960 Speaker 5: Going up every year. As you say, everyone's borrowed fast 274 00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:35,240 Speaker 5: sums of money. You know, like the irishman that joke. 275 00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:37,200 Speaker 4: I wouldn't want to be starting here to get back 276 00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:39,319 Speaker 4: to that other place where we're not so dependent. 277 00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:42,120 Speaker 1: Adam Crush and thank you for your time tonight. 278 00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:46,360 Speaker 2: Thanks Joining me now is DPR and co advertising co 279 00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:50,959 Speaker 2: founder Richard Ralph Smith. Richard, We're going to assess the 280 00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:54,360 Speaker 2: effectiveness of political ads we've seen during this campaign. 281 00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:55,720 Speaker 1: Let's start with labor. 282 00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:59,240 Speaker 2: Many of their ads have targeted Peter Dutton specifically, and 283 00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:03,560 Speaker 2: there is always a scare campaign around cuts. 284 00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:07,439 Speaker 11: The money for Peter dutton six hundred billion dollar nuclear 285 00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:10,840 Speaker 11: plan has to come from somewhere, so twenty years to 286 00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:13,440 Speaker 11: build to make up under four percent of the grid, 287 00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:16,680 Speaker 11: and the CSIOO says it will drive up power bills 288 00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:19,520 Speaker 11: and he'll have to drive up the cost of everything 289 00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:20,480 Speaker 11: else to pay for it. 290 00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:23,760 Speaker 5: So under Dutton, your health costs go up. Under Duttin, 291 00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:24,760 Speaker 5: your tax goes up. 292 00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:28,880 Speaker 11: Underdutton, your HEXTEP childcare medicines takee thees go up. 293 00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:33,000 Speaker 5: He cuts you pay authorized p eRx and ALP camera. 294 00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:37,200 Speaker 2: People say they don't like negative ads, but Richard negative ads, 295 00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:42,280 Speaker 2: particularly political negative ads, are enormously effective. They've had other 296 00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:48,839 Speaker 2: ads painting Peter Dutton as economically illiterate and reckless dangerous. 297 00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:50,800 Speaker 1: How effective are they? 298 00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:54,120 Speaker 8: They are effective, and they're quite easy. It's easy to 299 00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:55,880 Speaker 8: do a negative ad. It's easy to sort of get 300 00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:58,520 Speaker 8: people riled up about a negative ad and a positive one. 301 00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:00,720 Speaker 8: This one's actually had quite a bit of an agement online. 302 00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:04,920 Speaker 8: It's probably a labour's most effective scare ad. And I 303 00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:07,840 Speaker 8: think the reason is that people don't average voters do 304 00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:11,120 Speaker 8: not understand the cost structures of nuclear energy, or energy 305 00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:12,760 Speaker 8: and any energy. 306 00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:13,040 Speaker 5: For that matter. 307 00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:17,600 Speaker 8: So raising the specter of cost and then itemizing all 308 00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:20,680 Speaker 8: of those cost of living issues that are Dutton's means 309 00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:25,080 Speaker 8: for paying for it is a really really effective scare campaign. 310 00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:27,440 Speaker 2: That Yeah, I want to show you this Greens ad. 311 00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:32,120 Speaker 2: They have been very clear with their messaging.

But does 336 00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:24,880 Speaker 1: it work? 337 00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:28,200 Speaker 5: Look, I think we'll see. 338 00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:29,920 Speaker 8: I think the most likely outcome we are going to 339 00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:31,720 Speaker 8: have from this election if the betting markets are to 340 00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:34,479 Speaker 8: be believed as a Labor Greens coalition. 341 00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:34,920 Speaker 6: Right. 342 00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:37,800 Speaker 8: So what's interesting in that ad as well is that 343 00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:41,120 Speaker 8: out of thirty seconds, they spend one second talking about 344 00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:44,040 Speaker 8: the environment, and as you say, they make it really, 345 00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:47,080 Speaker 8: really really clear, we're going to keep Dutton out and 346 00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:50,960 Speaker 8: we're going to drag labor to the left. So they're 347 00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:52,840 Speaker 8: putting all their cards on the table as much as 348 00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:55,480 Speaker 8: when Easy doesn't want to admit that that's what's going 349 00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:58,120 Speaker 8: to happen if the votes fall that way. 350 00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:01,160 Speaker 2: How do you strike that balance tween being able to 351 00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:03,840 Speaker 2: articulate a position in an ad say this is what 352 00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:07,000 Speaker 2: we stand for, but at the same time getting the 353 00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:10,320 Speaker 2: message through that the other guy is bad news. We've 354 00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:13,080 Speaker 2: got to be getting rid of albol, getting rid of Dutton. 355 00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:16,440 Speaker 1: It's how do you manage that when you've got limited 356 00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:17,720 Speaker 1: time limited budget. 357 00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:21,280 Speaker 8: Well, the first thing is you don't try to do 358 00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:26,320 Speaker 8: everything right. You need to create an overarching narrative that 359 00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:31,040 Speaker 8: is a motive that's easy to understand and that you 360 00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:33,760 Speaker 8: repeat with all of these different proof points. You can 361 00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:37,120 Speaker 8: put positive ads, negative ads under it, and people just 362 00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:40,640 Speaker 8: buy it. I mean, everybody knew in two thousand and eight, 363 00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:45,600 Speaker 8: Yes we can for Obama, everybody knows make America great again. 364 00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:48,960 Speaker 8: If you ask the average liberal or labor voter what 365 00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:52,000 Speaker 8: the line or the overarching theme of either of their 366 00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:55,160 Speaker 8: campaign is, none of them know. And the reason is 367 00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:58,200 Speaker 8: because they're boring and they keep changing, they keep scattering 368 00:16:58,200 --> 00:16:58,800 Speaker 8: their messages. 369 00:16:58,920 --> 00:16:59,120 Speaker 6: Yeah. 370 00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:03,280 Speaker 2: Right, And we saw that also with Tony Abbott's landslide victory, 371 00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:05,480 Speaker 2: where it was about stop the boats. We knew what 372 00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:08,760 Speaker 2: the policy was. We knew about Cardi cutting carbon tax. 373 00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:11,880 Speaker 2: It was clear and it was a clear point of differentiation. 374 00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:14,000 Speaker 2: Let's have a look at the Libs now. 375 00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:15,720 Speaker 1: They've put out a rap song. 376 00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:17,800 Speaker 6: You've got to bring them braces down. 377 00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:21,160 Speaker 11: This is what we know because our bull's gotta leave, 378 00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:22,840 Speaker 11: owbull's gotta leave. 379 00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:24,840 Speaker 5: Questions credit. 380 00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:30,720 Speaker 2: Are they trying to make elbow look cool? Because if 381 00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:34,879 Speaker 2: you watch that, you think maybe that wasn't a labor ad. 382 00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:39,680 Speaker 2: I struggle to understand what angle they're going for with that. 383 00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:42,480 Speaker 2: Are they trying to appeal to young voters appear to 384 00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:43,359 Speaker 2: be hip and cool? 385 00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:47,119 Speaker 8: I know, could the campaign get any dumber? Look, there 386 00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:49,359 Speaker 8: are two scores of thought. The first one and you know, 387 00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:51,080 Speaker 8: I did a bit of a one thing that's great 388 00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:53,119 Speaker 8: about advertising. A lot of gen Z's in the office, 389 00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:56,280 Speaker 8: like you can always do a straw pole. They all 390 00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:59,520 Speaker 8: thought it was stupid. They all thought it was like 391 00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:01,360 Speaker 8: the old man trying to be the cool kid. 392 00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:04,800 Speaker 2: Oh yes, yes, not everyone on TikTok is a tully, 393 00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:06,760 Speaker 2: not a schooling exactly. 394 00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:10,639 Speaker 8: Not everyone on TikTok is eighteen and some eighten year 395 00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:14,760 Speaker 8: olds are quite smart and engaged as well. So that's 396 00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:16,680 Speaker 8: one side of the coin. The other side of the coin, 397 00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:19,960 Speaker 8: it's like rage bait. You know, are people going to 398 00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:22,600 Speaker 8: hate on this enough that well, while they're hating on it, 399 00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:25,520 Speaker 8: they're engaged, whether they're sharing it and they're talking it. 400 00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:29,000 Speaker 8: And this has actually had the most engagement and the 401 00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:31,159 Speaker 8: most news media and the most sharing of anything that 402 00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:31,960 Speaker 8: we've had so far. 403 00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:35,399 Speaker 5: So I don't think I think it's de branding for 404 00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:37,119 Speaker 5: the Liberals. I don't think it. 405 00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:40,640 Speaker 8: Looks like the Liberal Party that people trust at all. 406 00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:42,280 Speaker 8: For those who do trust the Liberal Party at de 407 00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:45,600 Speaker 8: brands among their base, look among the young people. That 408 00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:48,840 Speaker 8: might at least shift the narrative and have them talking 409 00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:51,080 Speaker 8: about the party. But I don't think it's enough to 410 00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:51,720 Speaker 8: move a needle. 411 00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:52,320 Speaker 12: No. 412 00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:55,680 Speaker 2: And I think that notion that any publicity is good 413 00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:59,240 Speaker 2: publicity just because it's getting attention it's successful. 414 00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:01,480 Speaker 1: Is a very very dangerous. 415 00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:02,640 Speaker 14: Yeah. 416 00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:05,520 Speaker 2: That is I think something advertisers say when they come 417 00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:07,240 Speaker 2: up with bad ads that go viral. 418 00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:10,560 Speaker 1: They have also put out this effort they'll. 419 00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:12,840 Speaker 5: Be better off under a labor government than they will. 420 00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:15,879 Speaker 1: Be really done. Has he delivered more housing? 421 00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:16,520 Speaker 10: No? 422 00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:21,080 Speaker 1: Has he made things cheaper as he fixed the cost 423 00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:22,760 Speaker 1: of living fourteen bucks thanks? 424 00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:25,000 Speaker 6: Nah? 425 00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:27,320 Speaker 5: Has he made the country safer? 426 00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:31,560 Speaker 1: Nah? Didn't he spend nearly half a billion on the police? 427 00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:32,200 Speaker 2: Yeah? 428 00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:32,879 Speaker 5: He did that. 429 00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:37,959 Speaker 15: We can't afford three more years of labor authorized by 430 00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:38,840 Speaker 15: a host liberal Canberra. 431 00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:40,760 Speaker 1: What do you think about that ad? Does it pass 432 00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:41,360 Speaker 1: the pop test? 433 00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:43,760 Speaker 8: I was going to say it's a literal pub test. 434 00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:47,359 Speaker 8: It's actually had some decent online engagement. It's kind of 435 00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:49,280 Speaker 8: relatable the guy on the left looks like he's had 436 00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:51,880 Speaker 8: ten beers. So there's one hundred and forty bucks cost 437 00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:55,160 Speaker 8: of living message right there. It does a fairly reasonable 438 00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:58,520 Speaker 8: job of itemizing the failures of the last few years, 439 00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:01,200 Speaker 8: but it's not really it's not going to get people 440 00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:02,119 Speaker 8: talking and sharing it. 441 00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:05,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a bit boring, that's it.

Here is Katy Perry. 548 00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:21,520 Speaker 12: I hope they can see the unity that we modeled 549 00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:25,560 Speaker 12: and replicate that and understand that we weren't just taking 550 00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:29,560 Speaker 12: up space. We were making space for the future. And 551 00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:34,440 Speaker 12: for me, like Gil said, this wasn't a ride, it 552 00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:37,800 Speaker 12: wasn't a destination. It was a journey and it was 553 00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:39,000 Speaker 12: a supernatural one. 554 00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:43,040 Speaker 2: And here is Oprah's bestie, Gail King, talking about the 555 00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:46,800 Speaker 2: backlash to all the hyperbole we've heard from these ladies. 556 00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:49,680 Speaker 18: This is what bothers me because I've certainly read some 557 00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:51,840 Speaker 18: of the things online coming from people that I know 558 00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:55,080 Speaker 18: that I like, that I consider friends. Space is not 559 00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:57,920 Speaker 18: an either or, it's a both and and because you 560 00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:00,800 Speaker 18: do something in space doesn't mean you're tea anything away 561 00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:03,120 Speaker 18: from Earth. And what you're doing in space is trying 562 00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:04,720 Speaker 18: to make things better here on Earth. 563 00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:09,040 Speaker 2: And Gail King claims that these overprivileged women were victims 564 00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:13,320 Speaker 2: of sexism. How else can you explain this stunt being 565 00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:14,280 Speaker 2: called frivolous? 566 00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:16,640 Speaker 18: What do you think when people say, oh, it's frivolous. 567 00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:18,360 Speaker 18: Number one, they call it a ride, which I find 568 00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:21,160 Speaker 18: very irritating because they never say men went for a ride. 569 00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:23,359 Speaker 18: What do you say to people who think that this 570 00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:25,960 Speaker 18: was frivolous or just to ride it? You know, I 571 00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:28,680 Speaker 18: think the message that it sends is very, very powerful. 572 00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:33,000 Speaker 2: Laurence Sanchez, whose fiance Jeff owns the rocket, while she 573 00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:35,800 Speaker 2: was reduced to tears by the experience. 574 00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:38,119 Speaker 1: And six women just did the same flight that. 575 00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:40,439 Speaker 5: Yeah, she didn't. 576 00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:43,399 Speaker 1: I just want to keep hugging you. 577 00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:44,600 Speaker 15: It's really cool. 578 00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:48,440 Speaker 18: Yeah, And I hope that more people get to see 579 00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:51,080 Speaker 18: this because I feel I don't even. 580 00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:52,720 Speaker 6: Know how much it's going to change me. 581 00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:56,399 Speaker 2: And if you thought that was bad, watch this performance 582 00:27:56,440 --> 00:28:10,560 Speaker 2: from Katy Perry, who joining me now is Newsweek's Senior 583 00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:15,000 Speaker 2: editor at Large and Article three projects senior Council Josh Hammer. 584 00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:20,200 Speaker 1: Josh, just how insufferable and self delighted can these ladies be? 585 00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:24,600 Speaker 2: We had less carry on when real astronauts stranded in 586 00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:30,120 Speaker 2: space for months were rescued recently by SpaceX. These over 587 00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:34,119 Speaker 2: privileged ladies spent a total of eleven minutes floating around 588 00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:35,800 Speaker 2: in their designer spacesuits. 589 00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:38,920 Speaker 1: And now they think it's going to bring about world peace. 590 00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:43,400 Speaker 13: Yeah, reader, you know, it kind of reminds me a 591 00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:46,560 Speaker 13: little bit of the old John Lennon's song Imagine, otherwise 592 00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:48,760 Speaker 13: known as the as the worst song ever written. I mean, 593 00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:51,040 Speaker 13: John Lennon had this song back in the nineteen seventies 594 00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:53,360 Speaker 13: after the breakup of the Beatles, that it's going to 595 00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:56,520 Speaker 13: be a world with no borders, no religion, just Kumbai 596 00:28:56,600 --> 00:28:59,160 Speaker 13: ya world peace there, you know, and apparently Katy Perry 597 00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:02,640 Speaker 13: here and they and the ladies circumnavigating the globe in 598 00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:04,680 Speaker 13: the year twenty twenty five are trying to do their 599 00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:07,840 Speaker 13: best John Lennon Imagine impression there. But I mean, what 600 00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:12,200 Speaker 13: a bunch of of just over indulgent, pure exhibitionism. I mean, 601 00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:13,520 Speaker 13: that really is the world that comes to mind here. 602 00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:15,440 Speaker 13: I mean, I think this is obviously a stunt. It 603 00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:18,320 Speaker 13: is transparently a stunt. These people are not going into 604 00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:20,600 Speaker 13: space for any other reason other than to kind of 605 00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:24,080 Speaker 13: raise their fist and say raw raw feminism. World beside. 606 00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:26,320 Speaker 13: I mean the message frankly, like, I don't even really 607 00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:28,640 Speaker 13: understand exactly what the purpose of this stunt was. I mean, 608 00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:31,760 Speaker 13: it's kind of like a United Nations like hold hands 609 00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:34,880 Speaker 13: together kumbayah thing. It's also partially like a feminism thing. 610 00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:37,240 Speaker 13: But frankly, I mean when people do this in the 611 00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:40,920 Speaker 13: name of feminism, they actually set real feminism and real 612 00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:44,239 Speaker 13: genuine equality. The sex is backwards there, because I mean, 613 00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:46,400 Speaker 13: if this is what people think of when they think 614 00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:48,480 Speaker 13: of feminisms, someone who gets dolled up and they put 615 00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:51,160 Speaker 13: on the designer suits and the makeup. I mean Katy 616 00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:54,280 Speaker 13: Perry clearly spending more time actually getting her makeup ready 617 00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:57,239 Speaker 13: than actually going up into the atmosphere, right. I mean, 618 00:29:57,320 --> 00:29:59,840 Speaker 13: I mean people see this and they're like, Okay, this 619 00:29:59,920 --> 00:30:02,520 Speaker 13: is feminists, I'm going to pose it. So they're undermining 620 00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:05,320 Speaker 13: the very cause they purport a champion. They're ultimately all 621 00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:07,840 Speaker 13: sorts of these stunts. This is the reason, reader, why 622 00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:10,440 Speaker 13: I think the left is just is just not in 623 00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:12,520 Speaker 13: a good place in the United States, because it is 624 00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:15,240 Speaker 13: all pure symbolism. It is all virtue singling. That's the 625 00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:19,320 Speaker 13: entire edifice, that's the entire purpose. Super nuts of all, frankly, 626 00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:20,720 Speaker 13: all of all they believe these. 627 00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:27,680 Speaker 2: Days, you're so right, is just so self delighted, so 628 00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:32,480 Speaker 2: divorced from reality. And they probably did spend a great 629 00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:34,840 Speaker 2: deal more time on their hair and makeup than they 630 00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:35,880 Speaker 2: actually did in space. 631 00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:39,080 Speaker 1: They were up there only for eleven minutes. Now, let's 632 00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:40,080 Speaker 1: talk about Donald Trump. 633 00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:43,400 Speaker 2: He's going to be very happy with the poll released overnight. 634 00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:47,200 Speaker 2: After a poor showing on a CBS poll a day earlier, 635 00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:51,479 Speaker 2: this latest poll shows Donald Trump has hit a record 636 00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:55,840 Speaker 2: high approval rating amid the tariff turmoil. The new Daily 637 00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:59,560 Speaker 2: Mail Jail Partner's polling was conducted between April ten and 638 00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:04,040 Speaker 2: a fourteen, and it shows the president's approval ratings sitting 639 00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:08,080 Speaker 2: at fifty four percent. Josh, what's really interesting here is 640 00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:12,080 Speaker 2: that Donald Trump remains most popular with young voters. Among 641 00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:15,760 Speaker 2: those aged eighteen to twenty nine, the president's approval rating 642 00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:19,760 Speaker 2: is sixty four percent, and it's in their fifties for 643 00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:21,760 Speaker 2: every other age group. 644 00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:24,320 Speaker 1: That's pretty incredible. 645 00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:24,640 Speaker 5: Josh. 646 00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:28,080 Speaker 13: So, there's a few things that are very very interesting 647 00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:30,200 Speaker 13: about about those graphs and the data that we all 648 00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:32,360 Speaker 13: just saw there. So, going back to the to the 649 00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:35,760 Speaker 13: Trump baseline number there, he's currently at around fifty three 650 00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:38,720 Speaker 13: percent curt this poll. Even at his lowest point of 651 00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:41,280 Speaker 13: the second term thus far, he's at around forty nine percent. 652 00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:44,000 Speaker 13: Forty nine percent believe it or not, Riada in contemporary 653 00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:46,960 Speaker 13: American polling is actually very good as far as the 654 00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:49,760 Speaker 13: president's approval rating goes. I'm not sure that Donald Trump 655 00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:53,480 Speaker 13: reached forty nine percent really in his entire first term. Neither, 656 00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:55,920 Speaker 13: for that matter, de Barack Obama in his entire second term. 657 00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:58,360 Speaker 13: Joe Biden definitely did not. We probably have not seen 658 00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:01,600 Speaker 13: presidential approval ratings this high since the very earliest days 659 00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:04,720 Speaker 13: of Barack Obama, prior to twenty ten, prior to Obamacare, 660 00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:07,400 Speaker 13: back when the country was still enraptured by these false 661 00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:09,360 Speaker 13: promises of hope and change. It's been a long time, 662 00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:11,240 Speaker 13: as the point there, So Donald Trump is clearly on 663 00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:13,600 Speaker 13: a high. People that are trying to tear him down, 664 00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:16,720 Speaker 13: that are saying that he's he's in a constitutional crisis 665 00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:18,840 Speaker 13: and that he's in a showdown of the courts. What's 666 00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:22,160 Speaker 13: going to happen with this El Salvadoran migrant there DEI 667 00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:24,280 Speaker 13: they're calling my racist as they would do there. The 668 00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:26,800 Speaker 13: American people aren't buying it. The American people have seen 669 00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:30,200 Speaker 13: this play before and when you cry wolf enough times rita, 670 00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:32,880 Speaker 13: which the Democrat media complex here in the United States 671 00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:35,240 Speaker 13: has been doing on and on and on and on 672 00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:37,800 Speaker 13: for the past decade, ever since Trump's to send down 673 00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:40,040 Speaker 13: the guilded Escalator a Trump Tower in the summer fifteen. 674 00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:42,280 Speaker 13: At some point, the American people are just gonna say enough, 675 00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:44,480 Speaker 13: I call your bluff. I don't buy it. That's what's 676 00:32:44,480 --> 00:32:45,160 Speaker 13: happening right now. 677 00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:52,560 Speaker 2: Absolutely, And we've seen these poll numbers always be underreported anyhow, 678 00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:55,280 Speaker 2: which shocked me that it was still happening in twenty 679 00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:58,280 Speaker 2: twenty four, because we saw that in twenty sixteen, and 680 00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:02,080 Speaker 2: it was pretty concised throughout the twenty twenty four campaign 681 00:33:02,160 --> 00:33:05,560 Speaker 2: as well, where the reality did not match the polls. 682 00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:08,120 Speaker 2: The reality ended up being a lot better for Donald Trump, 683 00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:11,280 Speaker 2: and the bad news continues for the Democrats. Have a 684 00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:15,360 Speaker 2: listen to this shock poll result, This shook up CNN. 685 00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:18,000 Speaker 17: This to me is one of the most shocking pieces 686 00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:20,920 Speaker 17: of poll data that I truly, truthfully have seen this year, 687 00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:24,400 Speaker 17: maybe in any prior year. Really, yes, really, because I 688 00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:25,880 Speaker 17: want you to take a look cares more about the 689 00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:28,520 Speaker 17: needs for people like you? You mentioned to Kate Paul, 690 00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:29,200 Speaker 17: and we got a tie. 691 00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:33,360 Speaker 16: Even after this terifar had already started split between Democrats 692 00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:36,880 Speaker 16: and Republicans on how people feel which party cares more 693 00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:37,840 Speaker 16: for needs of people like you? 694 00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:40,200 Speaker 17: And why is that so surprising? Because I want you 695 00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:40,880 Speaker 17: to take a look. 696 00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:41,440 Speaker 1: At prior years. 697 00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:44,320 Speaker 17: Democrats always lead on this question. 698 00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:47,000 Speaker 16: Back in twenty seventeen, before the twenty eighteen mid terms, 699 00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:49,680 Speaker 16: thirteen point lead, twenty five, a twenty three point lead 700 00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:52,520 Speaker 16: for Democrats, nineteen ninety four, which was a big Republican year, 701 00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:55,160 Speaker 16: a nineteen point lead for Democrats, and now, all of 702 00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:58,760 Speaker 16: a sudden, a tie. All of a sudden, the Democrats, 703 00:33:58,760 --> 00:34:01,800 Speaker 16: who were the party of the people no more, no more, 704 00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:03,920 Speaker 16: We get a tie on this question, on a question 705 00:34:04,040 --> 00:34:07,880 Speaker 16: that has traditionally overwhelmingly been a Democratic advantage. 706 00:34:08,200 --> 00:34:12,040 Speaker 2: This is a stunning turnaround, Josh, and I think the 707 00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:15,480 Speaker 2: tariff policy, as unpopular as we are told it is, 708 00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:17,400 Speaker 2: might have something to do with that. 709 00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:20,680 Speaker 13: Well, it had a lot to do with that actually, 710 00:34:20,719 --> 00:34:24,359 Speaker 13: because it is emblematic of Donald Trump's working class mentality there. 711 00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:26,640 Speaker 13: I mean, this is a man who has fundamentally reshaped 712 00:34:26,719 --> 00:34:30,040 Speaker 13: the Republican Party. And you know, people say that it's 713 00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:33,760 Speaker 13: Donald Trump's party. No, there's actually a very long historical 714 00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:36,040 Speaker 13: school of thought when it comes to this more national 715 00:34:36,080 --> 00:34:39,160 Speaker 13: as populous strand of conservatism. I think back actually as 716 00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:42,680 Speaker 13: far back as Benjamin Disraelied, the nineteenth century British prime minister. 717 00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:46,160 Speaker 13: He coined the term one nation conservatism. It's this idea 718 00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:48,840 Speaker 13: that the working class, in the middle class really is 719 00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:50,400 Speaker 13: that really of the country. 720 00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:52,720 Speaker 1: For far too long, for far too long. 721 00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:57,120 Speaker 13: The Republican Party veered in a pro elite, pro wall 722 00:34:57,160 --> 00:34:59,600 Speaker 13: ste direction. They lost track of who they were. They 723 00:34:59,600 --> 00:35:03,000 Speaker 13: complete abandoned the very people that made this country grin 724 00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:05,480 Speaker 13: in the first place. Donald Trump is bringing it back there, 725 00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:08,719 Speaker 13: and his pro tariff, pro industrial policy measures I think 726 00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:11,680 Speaker 13: are very much part of the appeal. He recognizes that 727 00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:14,839 Speaker 13: our economists are ruling elits. Both parts went way way 728 00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:18,280 Speaker 13: way too far down the rabbit hole and maximizing vague 729 00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:22,279 Speaker 13: nostrums such as economic efficiency and consumer surplus. What about 730 00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:25,200 Speaker 13: the notion of manufacturing What about just making stuff there? 731 00:35:25,320 --> 00:35:27,520 Speaker 13: What about the fact that China has just taken all 732 00:35:27,560 --> 00:35:30,560 Speaker 13: of America's national security critical supply chain there? This stuff 733 00:35:30,560 --> 00:35:32,880 Speaker 13: actually matters a lot. Donald Trump's the guy to do it. 734 00:35:32,960 --> 00:35:35,080 Speaker 13: They're he's the champion of the working class. And you 735 00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:37,520 Speaker 13: see right there in the CNN poll. You know Harry Enton. 736 00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:39,239 Speaker 13: There is a CNN guy. I've known Harry since I 737 00:35:39,280 --> 00:35:39,920 Speaker 13: was eighteen years old. 738 00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:40,560 Speaker 1: We go way back. 739 00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:43,520 Speaker 13: Like I feel readA that Harry's trying to tell the 740 00:35:43,600 --> 00:35:45,239 Speaker 13: c and and audience a message there. I'm not sure 741 00:35:45,280 --> 00:35:47,279 Speaker 13: the CNN audience wants to listen to that message stuff. 742 00:35:49,160 --> 00:35:51,800 Speaker 1: No, I think when he brings them news like that, 743 00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:55,799 Speaker 1: they just turn off. Now we talk about. 744 00:35:55,680 --> 00:35:59,600 Speaker 2: Constitutional crisis, this, I think is the real constitutional crisis. 745 00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:06,120 Speaker 2: Another Obama appointed judge, this time Indirat Taliwany, blocking the 746 00:36:06,200 --> 00:36:10,440 Speaker 2: Trump administration from canceling a program introduced by Joe Biden 747 00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:13,799 Speaker 2: granted parole and the right to work to more than 748 00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:19,680 Speaker 2: five hundred thousand immigrants from our countries like Haiti and Venezuela. 749 00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:21,960 Speaker 1: What happens next year. 750 00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:26,040 Speaker 2: Josh, What can the administration do about these activist judges 751 00:36:26,200 --> 00:36:30,560 Speaker 2: who are undermining the authority of the July elected president. 752 00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:34,520 Speaker 13: Well, there's a lot, frankly, that Congress and the president, 753 00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:37,279 Speaker 13: acting in tandem can do. Fortunately for Donald Trump, his 754 00:36:37,400 --> 00:36:40,120 Speaker 13: party Republicans controlled both houses of Congress, so if they 755 00:36:40,120 --> 00:36:42,800 Speaker 13: actually wanted to, they could solve this prom essentially overnight. 756 00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:44,520 Speaker 13: So here are among the various things they could do. 757 00:36:45,120 --> 00:36:47,680 Speaker 13: You can, of course, get the ball rolling on judicial 758 00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:50,120 Speaker 13: impeachment if there is a truly rogue judge. Now then 759 00:36:50,200 --> 00:36:52,960 Speaker 13: really that would require a two thirds majority in the Senate, 760 00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:54,640 Speaker 13: so it's a bit of a long shot there. But 761 00:36:54,760 --> 00:36:57,680 Speaker 13: you could pass legislation Congress could pass, and the president 762 00:36:57,680 --> 00:37:02,400 Speaker 13: consigns law, such things as jurisdiction stripping legislation. Congress has 763 00:37:02,440 --> 00:37:05,880 Speaker 13: the ability, in our constitutional order to basically dictate what 764 00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:08,719 Speaker 13: types of cases federal judges can hear. If Congress wants 765 00:37:08,760 --> 00:37:10,600 Speaker 13: to say that, in a certain type of case, a 766 00:37:10,680 --> 00:37:13,719 Speaker 13: certain cause of action, the federal courts have no jurisdiction. 767 00:37:14,320 --> 00:37:16,360 Speaker 13: It's only state courts and local courts that here it. 768 00:37:16,680 --> 00:37:18,719 Speaker 13: Congress can do that there. When it comes to some 769 00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:22,800 Speaker 13: of these so called nationwide injunctions, which are lagrantly and 770 00:37:22,880 --> 00:37:27,799 Speaker 13: frankly offensively unconstitutional, Congress could abolish that overnight tomorrow, Lane too, 771 00:37:27,880 --> 00:37:32,520 Speaker 13: Congress has full authority to detail what remedies a federal 772 00:37:32,600 --> 00:37:36,040 Speaker 13: court can issue and cannot issue. There And frankly, rita, 773 00:37:36,120 --> 00:37:38,040 Speaker 13: I mean, if the courts really ultimately do want to 774 00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:40,080 Speaker 13: play this game, they really really want to go go 775 00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:42,640 Speaker 13: down there ultimately, ultimately, I think it's worth bearing in 776 00:37:42,719 --> 00:37:46,080 Speaker 13: minds in the Federals number seventy eight from Alexander Hamilton, 777 00:37:46,120 --> 00:37:48,600 Speaker 13: one of our great founding fathers. He famously said that 778 00:37:49,160 --> 00:37:52,120 Speaker 13: the judiciary is the least dangerous branch because it has 779 00:37:52,200 --> 00:37:55,439 Speaker 13: neither force nor will, but merely judgment, and depends upon 780 00:37:55,560 --> 00:37:58,880 Speaker 13: the efficacy of the executive branch even for the enforcement 781 00:37:59,040 --> 00:38:02,120 Speaker 13: of its own judgements. I emphasized that lighter part there, 782 00:38:02,160 --> 00:38:05,480 Speaker 13: because it's something of a truism. The courts literally cannot 783 00:38:05,680 --> 00:38:08,600 Speaker 13: enforce their own orders. In fact, the mere fact that 784 00:38:08,719 --> 00:38:11,759 Speaker 13: egiicial opinion has been rendered in our system, it is 785 00:38:11,840 --> 00:38:14,759 Speaker 13: the persuasive ability of that opinion that controls whether the 786 00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:16,920 Speaker 13: executive will enforce it. So at some point there, at 787 00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:19,120 Speaker 13: some point, frankly, their own hubos really could get the 788 00:38:19,120 --> 00:38:19,600 Speaker 13: better of them. 789 00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:23,160 Speaker 1: Now, this is big news. 790 00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:27,239 Speaker 2: Earlier today, New York Attorney General Letitia James, who was 791 00:38:27,760 --> 00:38:30,799 Speaker 2: behind so much of the law fare against Donald Trump 792 00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:34,760 Speaker 2: in New York, has now been referred herself for possible 793 00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:39,280 Speaker 2: prosecution over allegations of mortgage of fraud. 794 00:38:39,400 --> 00:38:41,560 Speaker 1: What else can you tell me about this, Josh. 795 00:38:43,120 --> 00:38:45,840 Speaker 13: Well, this is pretty brand new stuff across the transm 796 00:38:45,880 --> 00:38:49,920 Speaker 13: But it looks to me like Tiss James listed to 797 00:38:49,960 --> 00:38:53,120 Speaker 13: the Commonwealth of Virginia, the state of Virginia as her 798 00:38:53,239 --> 00:38:55,960 Speaker 13: primary residence back when she was applying for a mortgage 799 00:38:56,000 --> 00:38:58,160 Speaker 13: back in twenty twenty three. The problem is that Tiss 800 00:38:58,239 --> 00:39:00,399 Speaker 13: James has been the attorney general of New York State 801 00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:02,879 Speaker 13: for far longer than that there, So I mean square 802 00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:05,200 Speaker 13: that circle for me. How can you legally get away 803 00:39:05,320 --> 00:39:08,480 Speaker 13: with calling one state your primary residents try to get 804 00:39:08,520 --> 00:39:12,480 Speaker 13: a more favorable mortgage interest rate type loan and on 805 00:39:12,520 --> 00:39:14,600 Speaker 13: the other hand, you're the attorney general of a different 806 00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:17,399 Speaker 13: state there. But you know, Rita, this is really nothing new. 807 00:39:17,719 --> 00:39:22,360 Speaker 13: I mean Democrat, Democrat lawmakers, Democrat prosecutors, they played by 808 00:39:22,360 --> 00:39:25,319 Speaker 13: an entirely different set of rules. I mean Tis James. 809 00:39:25,360 --> 00:39:27,239 Speaker 13: We all remember her for being front and center of 810 00:39:27,320 --> 00:39:30,600 Speaker 13: the lawfair, of the Democrat lawfair complex. They sprawling campaign 811 00:39:30,640 --> 00:39:33,239 Speaker 13: to try to deprive Donald Trump of getting his second 812 00:39:33,320 --> 00:39:33,880 Speaker 13: term in office. 813 00:39:33,920 --> 00:39:34,080 Speaker 9: There. 814 00:39:34,239 --> 00:39:36,520 Speaker 13: I think about Fannie Willis as well. Fannie Willis is 815 00:39:36,600 --> 00:39:39,960 Speaker 13: in Atlanta, Georgia, Fuldon County, Georgia. Fannie Willis was on 816 00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:42,160 Speaker 13: the wrong side of the law as well. So many 817 00:39:42,200 --> 00:39:45,280 Speaker 13: of these Democrat prosecutors Rita, they just flip their hands. 818 00:39:45,520 --> 00:39:47,759 Speaker 13: They say, you know what, I am the lawyer here, 819 00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:49,000 Speaker 13: I'm the prosecutor. 820 00:39:49,360 --> 00:39:49,840 Speaker 6: Screw you. 821 00:39:50,080 --> 00:39:51,239 Speaker 13: I'm gonna make the rules here. 822 00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:52,680 Speaker 5: You better come at me there. 823 00:39:52,719 --> 00:39:55,040 Speaker 13: But you know what, the Trump doj is calling her 824 00:39:55,120 --> 00:39:57,279 Speaker 13: bluff in this case tis James because she could find 825 00:39:57,320 --> 00:39:59,120 Speaker 13: herself on the wrong side of the law for good. 826 00:39:59,280 --> 00:40:01,680 Speaker 13: They'll depend on on which judge they draw there. But 827 00:40:01,719 --> 00:40:03,200 Speaker 13: I like what I see so far. I like the 828 00:40:03,239 --> 00:40:05,360 Speaker 13: aggressiveness of the administration and bringing these charges. 829 00:40:07,560 --> 00:40:12,440 Speaker 2: A bit of irony given the cases she pursued against 830 00:40:12,480 --> 00:40:16,520 Speaker 2: Donald Trump, But there's got to be a reckoning for 831 00:40:16,640 --> 00:40:21,560 Speaker 2: some of these activist prosecutors. She launched her old campaign 832 00:40:22,360 --> 00:40:26,400 Speaker 2: on the premise of getting Trump. She wasn't even hiding 833 00:40:26,719 --> 00:40:29,400 Speaker 2: how she was going to politicize that office. 834 00:40:30,840 --> 00:40:31,040 Speaker 5: Yeah. 835 00:40:31,840 --> 00:40:34,759 Speaker 13: She literally ran in twenty eighteen for a trained general 836 00:40:34,760 --> 00:40:37,080 Speaker 13: of New York State on a platform of I don't 837 00:40:37,200 --> 00:40:39,160 Speaker 13: like Donald Trump and I am going to get him 838 00:40:39,239 --> 00:40:42,440 Speaker 13: by any means necessary. There's there's actually kind of a 839 00:40:42,680 --> 00:40:46,840 Speaker 13: clever legal analogy here. So in the Constitution there is 840 00:40:46,880 --> 00:40:48,839 Speaker 13: a prescription and there's a ban on what is called 841 00:40:48,880 --> 00:40:51,120 Speaker 13: a bill of a tainder. A bill of attainder goes 842 00:40:51,160 --> 00:40:53,960 Speaker 13: back to the old English star chamber in like seventh 843 00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:57,640 Speaker 13: century England, and a bill of attainder was a king's 844 00:40:57,760 --> 00:41:01,120 Speaker 13: rits or a parliamentary active legislation that would single out 845 00:41:01,120 --> 00:41:04,760 Speaker 13: an individual by name, meaning it was not a general provision. 846 00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:07,800 Speaker 13: It was just singlely a one person for sole exclusive 847 00:41:07,800 --> 00:41:10,560 Speaker 13: punishment there. So the analogy that I like to draw 848 00:41:10,719 --> 00:41:12,480 Speaker 13: is that when Tis James ran for office there, she 849 00:41:12,560 --> 00:41:15,680 Speaker 13: basically ran a bill of a tender political campaign. Now 850 00:41:15,719 --> 00:41:18,560 Speaker 13: that's not necessarily illegal. I mean, we have a first moment. 851 00:41:18,760 --> 00:41:20,360 Speaker 13: You can say a lot of crazy stuff on the 852 00:41:20,400 --> 00:41:22,560 Speaker 13: campaign show. People frankly do it all the time there, 853 00:41:22,880 --> 00:41:25,440 Speaker 13: but it's morally repulsive. It's morally repulsive there, and it 854 00:41:25,480 --> 00:41:27,799 Speaker 13: says a lot about her character, frankly or lack thereof. 855 00:41:30,160 --> 00:41:32,920 Speaker 1: Josh Hammah, thanks so much for your time tonight. Thank 856 00:41:32,960 --> 00:41:34,680 Speaker 1: you still to come. 857 00:41:34,680 --> 00:41:39,280 Speaker 2: Labor pledges millions more in Medicaid funding for lgbt QUI 858 00:41:39,440 --> 00:41:41,440 Speaker 2: A plus plus Australians. 859 00:41:41,600 --> 00:41:53,000 Speaker 1: Stephanie Bastian joins me in next welcome back. 860 00:41:53,120 --> 00:41:56,319 Speaker 2: Joining me now is Women's Forum Australia's head of Advocacy, 861 00:41:56,400 --> 00:41:57,440 Speaker 2: Stephanie Bastian. 862 00:41:58,200 --> 00:41:58,520 Speaker 1: Steph. 863 00:41:58,520 --> 00:42:02,240 Speaker 2: First, let's hear from Labor Our MP's Josh Burns, Peter Khalil, 864 00:42:02,560 --> 00:42:07,279 Speaker 2: Cake Thwites and Jed Karney in this rather bizarre ad 865 00:42:07,480 --> 00:42:11,799 Speaker 2: where they tackle one of Australia's foremost issues, splurging ten 866 00:42:11,880 --> 00:42:16,560 Speaker 2: million dollars on training for primary care professionals to better 867 00:42:16,640 --> 00:42:20,120 Speaker 2: support lgbt QIA plus Australians. 868 00:42:20,280 --> 00:42:21,920 Speaker 5: Come on, come on, what are you going to do it? 869 00:42:22,120 --> 00:42:23,480 Speaker 3: Not now, mate, Not now? 870 00:42:23,800 --> 00:42:25,680 Speaker 5: All right, We got to let you go to your guess. 871 00:42:26,920 --> 00:42:29,560 Speaker 1: Now we can make the announced a month for me.

But also I'm in this government is as ideological 887 00:43:12,280 --> 00:43:15,160 Speaker 10: as it is irresponsible. Part of this funding is going 888 00:43:15,239 --> 00:43:20,920 Speaker 10: towards ensuring that medical professionals are meeting best practice. The 889 00:43:21,120 --> 00:43:24,759 Speaker 10: voluntary accreditation program. We don't even know what best practice is. 890 00:43:25,200 --> 00:43:28,480 Speaker 10: There was a very damning judgment out last week. This 891 00:43:28,680 --> 00:43:32,760 Speaker 10: video was made after, I might add where the judge 892 00:43:32,840 --> 00:43:36,400 Speaker 10: found that the key witness who helped draft the guidelines 893 00:43:36,440 --> 00:43:42,440 Speaker 10: of care for transgender diverse adolescents was ideological and an 894 00:43:42,480 --> 00:43:45,680 Speaker 10: activist rather than an independent witness. There was a little 895 00:43:45,719 --> 00:43:50,320 Speaker 10: boy who was being medically transitioned, approved of hormones until 896 00:43:50,400 --> 00:43:54,959 Speaker 10: his dad intervened, without a diagnosis of gender dysphoria. These 897 00:43:55,160 --> 00:43:58,160 Speaker 10: practices that are going on are not best practice. And 898 00:43:58,239 --> 00:44:00,120 Speaker 10: the fact that the governments put their head. 899 00:44:00,200 --> 00:44:00,600 Speaker 5: In the sand. 900 00:44:00,680 --> 00:44:03,040 Speaker 10: Matt Butler has said that he hasn't read the judgment yet, 901 00:44:03,400 --> 00:44:05,960 Speaker 10: he hasn't provided any comment, but the fact that they're 902 00:44:05,960 --> 00:44:09,640 Speaker 10: now spending ten million dollars to invest in best practice 903 00:44:10,120 --> 00:44:13,680 Speaker 10: shows that they do not care about the LGBTI community 904 00:44:13,719 --> 00:44:15,680 Speaker 10: at all and are not willing to look at the 905 00:44:15,719 --> 00:44:18,480 Speaker 10: facts to ensure they are actually receiving the best medical care. 906 00:44:20,920 --> 00:44:23,520 Speaker 2: And in that case, you mentioned that that poor child 907 00:44:23,760 --> 00:44:26,440 Speaker 2: has been under the care of a gender clinic since 908 00:44:26,640 --> 00:44:30,960 Speaker 2: the age of six. Just incredible that it was a 909 00:44:31,040 --> 00:44:36,759 Speaker 2: devastating judgment and to have the relevant minister not familiarize. 910 00:44:36,080 --> 00:44:39,200 Speaker 1: Himself with it is not good. 911 00:44:39,840 --> 00:44:43,120 Speaker 2: Let's turn our attention to the Riley Dennis versus a 912 00:44:43,360 --> 00:44:48,400 Speaker 2: Kiraly Smith case.
