00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:05,200
Speaker 3: been through this week, you all deserve to see my unfiltered.

16
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:09,760
Speaker 2: Joining me now a Sky News contributor Gary Hardgrave. Gary.

17
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 2: Australians have the worst decline in living standards since the

18
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 2: nineteen fifties, with analysis of Australian Bureau of Statistic STATA

19
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 2: showing the fall in living standards over the past two

20
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:26,680
Speaker 2: years is worse than what we suffered during the last

21
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:31,440
Speaker 2: four recessions. Australia is doing considerably worse than many other

22
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 2: developed nations. Gary it all paints are rather alarming picture.

23
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:39,200
Speaker 2: We can't ignore the fact that we're in a per

24
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:42,839
Speaker 2: capita recession right now. It seems to be glossed over,

25
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 2: but the reality is hitting households.

26
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 4: And reader's been like that for what eighteen months, maybe

27
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:53,040
Speaker 4: even two years. I mean, look, we came out of

28
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:56,560
Speaker 4: COVID and we knew times were tough in COVID. We

29
00:01:56,600 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 4: pulled everything back, we went into some additional debt and an

30
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:04,040
Speaker 4: enormous amount of debt and the capacity to repay that

31
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 4: was always relied on growing the economy. And then we

32
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 4: had Chris bowencom and Anthony Alban easy cuff and all

33
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 4: they did was kill off our economy big time by

34
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:16,360
Speaker 4: going helpful leather on this renewables push. The secret to

35
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:19,000
Speaker 4: all of our problems, the key pointer on all of

36
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 4: our problems is the price of electricity. I mean, we

37
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 4: used to have plenty of food. We used to make

38
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:26,359
Speaker 4: stuff here Victor Lawnmowers, Hills Hoyst saw these things. We

39
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:29,239
Speaker 4: invented Wi Fi and all these other things. We all

40
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 4: did this off the back of cheap, reliable and plenty

41
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 4: of it power and we don't have that anymore. And

42
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:38,239
Speaker 4: the reason why Australia can't pick itself up is because

43
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:41,120
Speaker 4: we're now reliant on other countries to provide everything that

44
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 4: we used to make ourselves. And reader even coming out

45
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 4: of this Council of Parties, this COP twenty nine event,

46
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 4: the idea that they're are going to try and impose

47
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 4: the Australian style emissions reduction standards, all these taxes and

48
00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:59,240
Speaker 4: stuff on Chinese stuff. I mean, we can't have a

49
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:02,240
Speaker 4: future made in Australia if our present is currently being

50
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 4: made in China.

51
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:05,959
Speaker 1: We're going to kill off China as well.

52
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 4: I mean, we are so stupid or sorry, we're being

53
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:12,640
Speaker 4: governed by stupid people. And I think the anger is there.

54
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 4: It's very large and it's very loud, and I reckon

55
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 4: come the next election, there's going to be a few

56
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 4: big baseball or maybe cricket bats out for this government,

57
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 4: and so it should be.

58
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 2: You wouldn't have thought, after a very comfortable victory for

59
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:32,800
Speaker 2: the Albanezy government that they could be a one term government,

60
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 2: but it is looking like a real possibility, like you said,

61
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 2: because the impact of their economic irresponsibility is being felt

62
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 2: so far and wide, businesses, households. There's really nobody you

63
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 2: can think of who's untouched by this per capita recession

64
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 2: that we're in the midst of. And you're right, it's

65
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 2: been going on for almost two years now. To add

66
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 2: insult to injury for those of us live in Victoria,

67
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 2: the state government here, led by Dan Andrews and now

68
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 2: just in to Allen, has been spending like crazy. Victoria's

69
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 2: economy is looking more die than ever. Look at these

70
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 2: figures as reported by Today's Herald's son. Victorian government's tax

71
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:20,680
Speaker 2: take has more than doubled gary from sixteen point three

72
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 2: billion to thirty six point three billion in just ten years.

73
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:29,479
Speaker 2: Government wages have blown out, the bureaucracy is huge, it's

74
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 2: gone up from eighteen point nine billion to thirty six

75
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:37,599
Speaker 2: point seven billion, and the debt per capita has more

76
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 2: than tripled. Net debt was forecast in May state budget

77
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:45,480
Speaker 2: to reach one hundred and eighty seven point eight billion

78
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 2: by twenty twenty seven twenty eight, and that's twenty two

79
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:55,040
Speaker 2: percent of Victoria's gross state product well above the average

80
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:58,919
Speaker 2: of eleven point two percent for other states and territories.

81
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 2: That's as reported by Today's Herald's signing Gary, and it

82
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 2: all paints a very dire picture. Indeed, it shows you

83
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:12,160
Speaker 2: why so many people are fleeing Victoria going into state,

84
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:17,039
Speaker 2: whether they're business people, whether they're employees, If you are

85
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:21,119
Speaker 2: paying payroll tax, if you're paying land tax, you're seeing

86
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:25,039
Speaker 2: those bills explode. And if you're just trying to make

87
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:30,880
Speaker 2: ends meet, it's becoming increasingly harder in the state of Victoria.

88
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 4: You can't tax your way into prosperity. Reader, we do

89
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:40,679
Speaker 4: need a department of government efficiency. To borrow the Trump mantra,

90
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:44,039
Speaker 4: we do need less government. We need government to be

91
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:46,800
Speaker 4: as big as it needs to be to do what

92
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 4: needs to be done, but as small as it should

93
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:52,239
Speaker 4: be to make sure it's not interfering in people's lives.

94
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:55,359
Speaker 4: But Victoria's gone exactly the other way. And this is

95
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 4: the problem. And you know, they can build a statue

96
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:00,160
Speaker 4: to Dan Andrews, never get a statue built while is

97
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 4: still alive, because the pigeons may not be the only

98
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:07,120
Speaker 4: thing that's pupping on you. This whole government of Victoria

99
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 4: is dragging the whole of Australia down, and it is

100
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:13,880
Speaker 4: the place, the place to flee. Victoria. That's what the

101
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:17,280
Speaker 4: number place should say. Victoria the place to flee. It

102
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:20,960
Speaker 4: used to be the place to be. Look, Rita, this

103
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:23,680
Speaker 4: has to be fixed. It has to be repaired. No

104
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:29,240
Speaker 4: one will want Victoria. The symbolism of paying Glasgow to

105
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:31,960
Speaker 4: do the Commonwealth Games kind of sums it all up

106
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 4: to me. This is a state that's now lost its

107
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:37,360
Speaker 4: way to the point where it doesn't get the basic

108
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 4: stuff done, but it certainly does employ a lot of

109
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:46,160
Speaker 4: favored friends and a big constantly growing wages and I

110
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 4: think that it's holding back the whole of Australia. This

111
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:53,560
Speaker 4: is the rust bucket state. Look and I'm in Queensland

112
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:55,800
Speaker 4: and there's a whole lot of trouble. It's got to

113
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 4: be repaired here because at one stage we were per

114
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:02,120
Speaker 4: capita even worse than Victoria's that level under the previous government.

115
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:04,240
Speaker 4: I don't know what the current stats are. New government

116
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 4: will see what happens. But unless we get the confidence

117
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:09,760
Speaker 4: to build for the future, our president is going to

118
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 4: continue to be poor. And we've got people in government

119
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:15,560
Speaker 4: who just want to manage our misery and they reward

120
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 4: themselves well and line themselves up for jobs after politics.

121
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:21,840
Speaker 4: That's just not what Australians need right now.

122
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:28,800
Speaker 2: You're so right, and that perception of Victoria as being

123
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:34,920
Speaker 2: broken broken, I think is spreading across the country. That's

124
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 2: going to help with investment into the state. Why would

125
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 2: you want to move here or invest here when that's

126
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:44,200
Speaker 2: how the state is viewed and you can understand why

127
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 2: it's viewed because those numbers are pretty grim. Indeed, I

128
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:52,600
Speaker 2: want to speak to you about Australia's Gender Equality Ambassador,

129
00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:55,280
Speaker 2: Stephanie Copper's Campbell. I don't know if you've heard of

130
00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:58,239
Speaker 2: her before, but we learned today that she has spent

131
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:01,360
Speaker 2: more than three hundred and thirty five thousand dollars in

132
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:05,800
Speaker 2: taxpayer funds on airfares and hotels. She's traveled to twenty

133
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 2: four countries, including five trips to the US. This is

134
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:12,640
Speaker 2: since her appointment in December twenty twenty two, so we're

135
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 2: not talking about a lengthy period here, less than two years.

136
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 2: Is this a good use of taxpayer funds?

137
00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 4: Gary, Well, of course it isn't. But at least she's

138
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 4: got a spot in the chairman's lounge. I mean, Rita,

139
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:31,480
Speaker 4: you know, I'm sure she had fain that would get

140
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:33,960
Speaker 4: her in the chairman's lounge. That sort of money being

141
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:36,120
Speaker 4: spent quants and say, come this way, you know, let

142
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:39,360
Speaker 4: us make it comfortable. Would you like a chamblis? Look, Rita,

143
00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:42,760
Speaker 4: this is the problem. Government is just constantly finding new

144
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:45,040
Speaker 4: ways to take your money, my money, everybody's money, and

145
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 4: spend it on what they think is right. Who do

146
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:49,320
Speaker 4: they think they are? Government, the super funds and the

147
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:52,040
Speaker 4: big banks. They just keep taking money office and spending

148
00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:54,679
Speaker 4: it on the things they like to talk about. And

149
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 4: this is just a nonsense. This will be one of

150
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:58,439
Speaker 4: the first things you could get rid of. But I

151
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:01,360
Speaker 4: would like to volunteer, and would volunteer for the role

152
00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:04,280
Speaker 4: of the head of the Department of Government Efficiency. I

153
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:07,240
Speaker 4: could get rid of a whole lot of this stuff.

154
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:10,439
Speaker 4: I would have governments smaller, I would have it more efficient,

155
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 4: I would have it less intrusive. I'd actually have it

156
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:16,479
Speaker 4: doing things like, oh, building infrastructure so people could be productive,

157
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:20,480
Speaker 4: using taxpayer funded money to build infrastructure, so the private

158
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 4: sector can go and make money and employ more people. Reader,

159
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:26,079
Speaker 4: These are the sorts of things that are doing all

160
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:29,920
Speaker 4: our heads in and rightly so, because everyday Australians are

161
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:32,280
Speaker 4: doing it tough and they're seeing a few people who

162
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:34,640
Speaker 4: are well placed doing it very very well. Three ound

163
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:36,960
Speaker 4: thirty five thousand in less than two years.

164
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:38,640
Speaker 1: Where do you get it?

165
00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:40,720
Speaker 4: As the old TV ad used to go, how do

166
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:43,840
Speaker 4: you get a piece of this action? It's offensive to

167
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:48,120
Speaker 4: me in any decent person, and.

168
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 2: I think there'd be if you would argue that office

169
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:54,880
Speaker 2: doesn't even need to exist. So the mentally having that

170
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:58,200
Speaker 2: sort of expenditure is but yeah, who needs an Elon

171
00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:02,160
Speaker 2: Musk and Vivet gramas we've got, Gary Hardgrave. You could

172
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:05,360
Speaker 2: go in there and just cut, cut, cut, cut, and

173
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:10,160
Speaker 2: got them line all for it. You would be excellent.

174
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:15,320
Speaker 2: Add it now got a political row erupting between the

175
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:20,160
Speaker 2: Coalition and Labor figures over the Albanese governments deal with

176
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:23,760
Speaker 2: Indonesia to have convicted drug traffickers who were part of

177
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:27,960
Speaker 2: the Bali Nine brought back to Australia. Labor insists that

178
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:33,240
Speaker 2: they won't be released into the community when they return. Gary,

179
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:37,680
Speaker 2: I've heard several Coalition MPs speak out against this. They've

180
00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:41,880
Speaker 2: been very strong in condemning the deal, but I'm going

181
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:45,600
Speaker 2: to take a contrary view here. Haven't these Australians paid

182
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:49,080
Speaker 2: a heavy enough price for their crimes? Do they really

183
00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:50,880
Speaker 2: deserve to die in prison?

184
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:56,200
Speaker 4: Well, no they don't, and read I'm on your page. Look,

185
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:58,840
Speaker 4: I think nineteen years in prison is equivalent to three

186
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:03,160
Speaker 4: life sentences under the Australian supposedly judicial but really just

187
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 4: legal system. They would have probably gone to jail for

188
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:08,520
Speaker 4: a handful of years max and been out in our

189
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 4: community anyway. And look, I declare that I had made

190
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:17,600
Speaker 4: advocacy for the Rush family, Scott Rush, Christine and Lee Rush.

191
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:21,679
Speaker 4: Those two people, the parents of Scott, were constituents of

192
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:24,800
Speaker 4: mine in years past. We've met with former Prime Minister

193
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:27,280
Speaker 4: John Howard at one stage. This is twenty years ago

194
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:29,600
Speaker 4: when it all first happened. I feel very sad about it.

195
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:32,839
Speaker 4: I understand that there's nothing nice about anybody involved in

196
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 4: dabbling in drugs, but I think there's some mitigation, particularly

197
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:39,320
Speaker 4: for young people like Scott Rush. I just say to you, Rida,

198
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:42,360
Speaker 4: that the penalty has been paid and I think that

199
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 4: whatever the deal is, we need to know. I think

200
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:48,240
Speaker 4: it's reasonable they come back. The Australian system takes it

201
00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:50,520
Speaker 4: over and if after a period of time there's a

202
00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 4: determination they're allowed out in the community, well, you know

203
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:55,960
Speaker 4: what they've done the time, because they did the crime.

204
00:11:56,640 --> 00:12:00,840
Speaker 4: But this is becoming inhuman now. I'm pleased to see

205
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 4: that maybe after three different presidents and five or six

206
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:08,200
Speaker 4: different Prime ministers, we're actually starting to see a relook

207
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:11,959
Speaker 4: at this. And look, there'll be people who say go hard,

208
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:14,120
Speaker 4: but no, I think that they need to go home.

209
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:15,679
Speaker 4: It's time for them to come.

210
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:19,800
Speaker 2: Home with you one hundred percent. I thought we were

211
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:22,719
Speaker 2: going to have an argument on this one, but I

212
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:27,880
Speaker 2: just think it's inhumane to keep punishing these young Australians.

213
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:30,080
Speaker 2: Well they're not young anymore. They were most of them

214
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:33,880
Speaker 2: when they were convicted that they were not the brain's trust.

215
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:37,000
Speaker 2: They were the very bottom of the wrong. They were dumb.

216
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:40,040
Speaker 2: I'm not saying they shouldn't have been punished. They have

217
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:44,480
Speaker 2: been punished. They were used, but they were greedy and

218
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:49,800
Speaker 2: they paid a price. But serving time in Indonesia is

219
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:53,240
Speaker 2: significantly harder than serving time in Australia, and they have

220
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:57,199
Speaker 2: served it, as you've said, for close to two decades.

221
00:12:57,360 --> 00:13:00,440
Speaker 2: I think they've paid their debt. You've dealt with the parents,

222
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:05,280
Speaker 2: of one of these Australians. And we've had the death

223
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:09,280
Speaker 2: penalty for people who've been convicted of these crimes in

224
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:12,080
Speaker 2: Indonesia and I've been dead set against that as well.

225
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:15,400
Speaker 2: It's just the punishment doesn't fit the crime.

226
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:20,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, time to bring them home. Reader. Look, I think

227
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 4: that anybody who goes there is really plainly stupid thinking

228
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:26,560
Speaker 4: that they can get away with trafficking in drugs. The

229
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:30,280
Speaker 4: signs are writ large in all of those airports. But

230
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 4: they did a dumb thing. They got used a couple.

231
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:32,360
Speaker 5: Look.

232
00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:34,360
Speaker 4: I can only speak about the Scott Rush matter. I'm

233
00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:37,600
Speaker 4: satisfied this is a kid troubled and looking for attention,

234
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:40,520
Speaker 4: filling with the wrong crowd, got used, being penalized for

235
00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:42,960
Speaker 4: twenty years basically in jail. I think it's time for

236
00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:45,640
Speaker 4: him to try and get a bit of a life back,

237
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 4: and hopefully.

238
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:46,800
Speaker 1: He can.

239
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:54,120
Speaker 2: Well, said Gary Hardgrave. Thanks for your time tonight. Joining

240
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:58,359
Speaker 2: me now is leading geologist and author Professor Ian Plymer,

241
00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:04,400
Speaker 2: ins from Prime Minister Anthony Albanezi, who posted this little

242
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:08,000
Speaker 2: rant on X and was promptly fact checked.

243
00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:12,320
Speaker 6: Even if you were a climate skeptic and didn't believe

244
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:15,200
Speaker 6: any of the science and didn't notice that there were

245
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:18,760
Speaker 6: more floods and more bushfires and more cyclones. It would

246
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:23,040
Speaker 6: still be good policy. It will produce the cheapest form

247
00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:26,240
Speaker 6: of energy, not the most expensive, which we know is nuclear.

248
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:29,560
Speaker 6: It will create jobs. It will allow Australia to have

249
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:33,560
Speaker 6: a future made in Australia, because the vision of clean,

250
00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:40,360
Speaker 6: renewable energy powering advanced manufacturing is where Australia's future is

251
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:41,800
Speaker 6: into the twenty thirties.

252
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:45,840
Speaker 2: Let's start with the first part of that statement, that

253
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:50,520
Speaker 2: claim that we're having more floods, more bushfires and cyclones

254
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:52,040
Speaker 2: because of climate change.

255
00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:56,440
Speaker 7: Is that true, Well, mister Albanez, he should follow his

256
00:14:56,520 --> 00:15:01,640
Speaker 7: own misinformation and disinformation legislation and he would be jailed

257
00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:02,360
Speaker 7: for what he said.

258
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:05,760
Speaker 1: We have more people building on floodplanes.

259
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:09,320
Speaker 7: We have more people building on floodplanes, but we don't

260
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:12,600
Speaker 7: have more flooding. And what that's doing is diverting the

261
00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:16,480
Speaker 7: amount of runoff and showcage and changing that formula. We

262
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:20,800
Speaker 7: have extremely good records that we have and fewer bushfires

263
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:23,720
Speaker 7: now that in the past, the big years for nineteen

264
00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:27,000
Speaker 7: thirty nine and eighteen fifty one. We also have very

265
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:30,280
Speaker 7: good evidence also over one hundred and fifty years showing

266
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:33,720
Speaker 7: us that the number of cyclones and the intensity of

267
00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:39,480
Speaker 7: cyclones has decreased over time. And since Cyclone Tracy, we've

268
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:43,960
Speaker 7: been building cyclone proof buildings in the cyclone prone areas.

269
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:48,240
Speaker 7: So that is absolutely totally misleading and deceptive.

270
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:54,800
Speaker 2: It is, and the same is can be said for

271
00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:59,720
Speaker 2: incidents of cyclones and bushfires and floods overseas. And yet

272
00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:05,680
Speaker 2: we hear this misinformation consistently from the climate catastrophists and

273
00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:09,960
Speaker 2: really with very little pushback from anybody in the media,

274
00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:13,320
Speaker 2: any of the fact checkers. What about the claims he

275
00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:18,200
Speaker 2: made there about renewable energy boosting the economy, boosting jobs,

276
00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:23,200
Speaker 2: lowering our energy costs, and making us a more attractive

277
00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:27,640
Speaker 2: for manufacturing. Any of that ring true?

278
00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:28,400
Speaker 1: None of it.

279
00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:33,840
Speaker 7: Every country in the world that has embraced the renewables

280
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:37,360
Speaker 7: has actually had their electricity costs go up. Countries like

281
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:41,320
Speaker 7: Germany have lost their major industries, Countries like Australia. Every

282
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:44,760
Speaker 7: time we put in more renewables, our electricity costs go

283
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:48,000
Speaker 7: up and we kill off small businesses and we drive

284
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:54,400
Speaker 7: businesses overseas. As for powering advanced manufacturing, pull the other

285
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:58,160
Speaker 7: one that's got bells on it. Exactly the opposite has happened.

286
00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:02,760
Speaker 7: You cannot have advanced manufacturing which operates twenty four to

287
00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:05,560
Speaker 7: seven when the wind doesn't blow and the sun doesn't shine.

288
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:08,280
Speaker 7: What is an advanced manufacturing unit go to do at

289
00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:11,680
Speaker 7: three o'clock in the morning. So this is just absolute,

290
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:15,480
Speaker 7: total nonsense. We know from the building of nuclear power

291
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:19,520
Speaker 7: stations in places like Finland the cost of electricity has

292
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:22,959
Speaker 7: gone down enormously and the productivity has gone up. And

293
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:27,480
Speaker 7: the decrease in Australian project productivity is an absolute embarrassment.

294
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:31,119
Speaker 7: We also have a decrease in our standard of living.

295
00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:34,920
Speaker 7: We are now going backwards in this country and that

296
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:39,160
Speaker 7: is driven almost one hundred percent by our embrace of

297
00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:41,840
Speaker 7: renewable energy. And as I keep saying, the only thing

298
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:44,640
Speaker 7: renewable about renewable energy are the subsidies.

299
00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:46,040
Speaker 1: They just keep coming.

300
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:49,480
Speaker 7: You're paying for it with your electricity bills, and we

301
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:53,560
Speaker 7: are sending this country broke. We are finding that major investors,

302
00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:56,320
Speaker 7: and I'm only talking to one this morning here in Brisbane,

303
00:17:56,560 --> 00:18:02,119
Speaker 7: they are preferentially if investing in our Argentina.

304
00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:02,960
Speaker 1: Rather than Australia, I mean.

305
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:07,440
Speaker 7: Argentina investing rather than Australia. That's telling you about sovereign

306
00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:10,960
Speaker 7: risk and this country has become so risky and so

307
00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:14,960
Speaker 7: expensive you can go to wild South American countries and

308
00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:17,720
Speaker 7: invest rather than in the country like Australia.

309
00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:19,000
Speaker 1: Shame on us.

310
00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:26,720
Speaker 2: Well, Argentina. Argentina has Javier Milay and we've got Anthony Albanesi.

311
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:30,119
Speaker 2: That could be an explanation for why the investment is

312
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:33,439
Speaker 2: flowing over there. And soon the US is going to

313
00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:38,280
Speaker 2: be drilling baby drilling, and that can't be helping us either,

314
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:41,800
Speaker 2: because they are going to create an environment where there'll

315
00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:46,280
Speaker 2: be less red tape, lower corporate tax rate and again

316
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:50,280
Speaker 2: very attractive for investment. I want to ask you about

317
00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:54,320
Speaker 2: COP twenty nine. It's a concluded. Enormous amount of money

318
00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:58,360
Speaker 2: was spent just holding this gap fest. The UK government

319
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:03,119
Speaker 2: alone sent four hundred seventy delegates. But the end result

320
00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:07,320
Speaker 2: of this whole thing is countries like Australia, rich countries

321
00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:12,040
Speaker 2: handing over huge bundles of cash to developing countries. The

322
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:18,480
Speaker 2: deal is for three hundred billion US in essentilly climate reparations.

323
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:22,520
Speaker 2: How is any of this actually helping the environment In.

324
00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:27,000
Speaker 7: Well, the UK sending over four hundred and seventy delegates.

325
00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:30,560
Speaker 7: It's just laughable. They are sending people, which is costing

326
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:35,600
Speaker 7: a fortune, over to Buku and Azerbayan so that their

327
00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:38,760
Speaker 7: money can be stolen and going to dictators and third

328
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:43,440
Speaker 7: world despots, such that the UK can have higher energy costs,

329
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:47,399
Speaker 7: can have more people struggling, have more pensioners having to

330
00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:50,679
Speaker 7: make a choice between warm water, a warm meal and

331
00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:53,439
Speaker 7: heating a house. Now, this is what it's got to.

332
00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:57,720
Speaker 7: This is an absolute wrought. It's time that these cop

333
00:19:57,760 --> 00:19:59,040
Speaker 7: functions were stopped.

334
00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:01,120
Speaker 1: They have no to do with climate.

335
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:04,200
Speaker 8: They're all to do with highway robbery. They have nothing

336
00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:06,240
Speaker 8: to do with the environment, and they have nothing to

337
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:10,000
Speaker 8: do with science. We cannot change the way the Sun

338
00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:13,120
Speaker 8: operates and the Earth orbits, and those are the two

339
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:17,359
Speaker 8: factors driving climate, and no legislation will change that.

340
00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:20,960
Speaker 5: We are, in this country and in many other countries,

341
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:24,880
Speaker 5: destroying our wildlife by putting up these bird and bat

342
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:29,359
Speaker 5: munching wind turbines, by putting up turbines offshore which are

343
00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:33,680
Speaker 5: killing whales, by destroying all of our agricultural.

344
00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:38,440
Speaker 7: Land with solar panels. Now, if the English, the four

345
00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:42,119
Speaker 7: hundred and seventy English delegates really wanted to do a

346
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:45,719
Speaker 7: good conference, they should argue to have it in, say Hawaii,

347
00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:50,000
Speaker 7: so these sun starved English bureaucrats could actually get a

348
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:52,680
Speaker 7: bit of sunshine and maybe a bit of common sense

349
00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:55,800
Speaker 7: would shine on them as well. These cop functions a

350
00:20:56,240 --> 00:21:00,879
Speaker 7: rip off. They are aimed at destroying Western sization, and

351
00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:02,680
Speaker 7: we have to see it for what it is. It's

352
00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:06,000
Speaker 7: got nothing to do with climate the environment. It's to

353
00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:07,600
Speaker 7: do with destroying our culture.

354
00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:12,639
Speaker 2: I want to ask you about this video the UN

355
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:17,600
Speaker 2: posted on its social media pages talking about the importance

356
00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:23,480
Speaker 2: of gender positive climate action gender positive climate action. This

357
00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:27,679
Speaker 2: was focused at COP twenty nine, the same conference that

358
00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:32,760
Speaker 2: the Taliban we're attending, and we're talking about gender and climate.

359
00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:35,879
Speaker 2: Let's have it. Listen to the message the UN is pushing.

360
00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:40,240
Speaker 9: By breaking down data by gender, they can point to

361
00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:45,920
Speaker 9: opportunities we cannot afford to miss because a gender responsive

362
00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:50,919
Speaker 9: approach isn't just the right thing to do, it is

363
00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:53,000
Speaker 9: in fact the smart thing to do.

364
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:57,000
Speaker 2: I claim there that the world needs climate action and

365
00:21:57,119 --> 00:22:01,120
Speaker 2: gender equality to go hand in hand. I'm not even

366
00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:02,119
Speaker 2: sure what that means.

367
00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:02,360
Speaker 10: Ian.

368
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:05,639
Speaker 2: Can you explain this intersectionality to me?

369
00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:11,000
Speaker 7: Well, I'm just having a moment recovering from vomiting, because

370
00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:16,600
Speaker 7: if you had gender involved with climate, you would actually

371
00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:20,280
Speaker 7: make sure that women in the Third World didn't have

372
00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:23,960
Speaker 7: to collect twigs, leaves and done to cook and heat

373
00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:28,320
Speaker 7: inside huts where they died of respiratory diseases and their

374
00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:32,199
Speaker 7: children died of spiratory diseases. You would tie them into

375
00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:36,760
Speaker 7: a grid based on coal fired electricity. So that is

376
00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:42,439
Speaker 7: the role of gender in climate. Stop women dying from

377
00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:47,439
Speaker 7: having you and imposed restrictions that actually kill them. Another

378
00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:53,239
Speaker 7: gender equality measure could be maybe we could counsel that

379
00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:57,480
Speaker 7: little Swedish pixie and tell her how climate works, How

380
00:22:57,480 --> 00:22:59,920
Speaker 7: it's got nothing to do with traces of a tray

381
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:03,280
Speaker 7: guests in the atmosphere, how we've had billions of years

382
00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:03,920
Speaker 7: of climates.

383
00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:07,720
Speaker 2: You don't have to worry about Greta, and you don't

384
00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:10,680
Speaker 2: have to worry about Greta anymore. She's now focused on

385
00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:16,200
Speaker 2: the pro Palestinian course. She's an anti Israeli activist these days,

386
00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:18,360
Speaker 2: so she seems to have got bored with the climate

387
00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:21,320
Speaker 2: message for now, but I'm sure we'll hear more from

388
00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:24,760
Speaker 2: her again. Professing in Clymate, thank you so much for

389
00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:28,800
Speaker 2: your time this evening and congratulations on the special award

390
00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:33,080
Speaker 2: you won at National Mining Day last Friday. That was

391
00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:37,159
Speaker 2: quite an honor. We'll speak about that next time.

392
00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:38,560
Speaker 1: Thank you, reader.

393
00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:43,360
Speaker 2: Still to come. Left is losing it? Plus why is

394
00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:49,560
Speaker 2: MSNBC scared of Trump's Attorney general pick? Alex Stein? Joins

395
00:23:49,560 --> 00:24:02,480
Speaker 2: me next, welcome back. Now it's time for lefties losing it.

396
00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:08,040
Speaker 2: Let's start lefties with the neo Marxist kendole himself, Justin Trudeau, who,

397
00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:10,200
Speaker 2: if the polls are ride, is going to lose in

398
00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:14,560
Speaker 2: a massive landslide. And what is the Canadian prime minister

399
00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:18,640
Speaker 2: doing as parts of his country for victim to violent

400
00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:24,760
Speaker 2: anti Semitic writers. Well, he's swapping bracelets with teenagers at

401
00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:29,040
Speaker 2: a tailor swift concert and dancing the night away like

402
00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:40,080
Speaker 2: some giddy teenager. Oh yes, there he is, dancing without

403
00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:42,640
Speaker 2: a care in the world, never mind that his country

404
00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:46,280
Speaker 2: is in crisis on a number of fronts. He's getting

405
00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:56,159
Speaker 2: he's swifty on And I wasn't kidding about him swapping

406
00:24:56,240 --> 00:25:00,560
Speaker 2: bracelets with teenagers. Even they were wondering what he was

407
00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:06,320
Speaker 2: doing there. What is Justin trudodoing your guys?

408
00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:23,520
Speaker 11: Who Hello, thank you, Jenna Brala, Thank you so much.

409
00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:29,679
Speaker 2: Time to listen to this screachy performance from Democrat Jasmine Crockett,

410
00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:34,639
Speaker 2: who seems desperate to appropriate the suffering of her ancestors,

411
00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:38,320
Speaker 2: and she seems more than a little ignorant about the

412
00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:39,760
Speaker 2: history of slavery.

413
00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:43,200
Speaker 12: You'll tell me which white men were dragged out of

414
00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:46,880
Speaker 12: their homes. You'll tell me which one of them got

415
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:50,680
Speaker 12: dragged all the way across an ocean and told that

416
00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:52,080
Speaker 12: you were gonna go at work.

417
00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:55,400
Speaker 2: We are gonna steal your wives. We are gonna rape

418
00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:59,440
Speaker 2: your wives. That didn't happen. That is oppression. We didn't

419
00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:02,919
Speaker 2: ask to be here. Well, Jasmine, as a free woman,

420
00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:05,840
Speaker 2: you can now be anywhere you want to be, and

421
00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:08,879
Speaker 2: yet you choose to be in America. But despite the

422
00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:12,720
Speaker 2: considerable power and privilege you hold, you want to play

423
00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:16,880
Speaker 2: the victim eternally and just to educate you. Slavery has

424
00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:20,640
Speaker 2: existed since the dawn of time, from the first civilizations.

425
00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:24,919
Speaker 2: We're talking three and a half thousand years BC, and

426
00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:29,280
Speaker 2: plenty of white men, women and children were taken as slaves,

427
00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:32,680
Speaker 2: including more than a million Europeans stolen and sold as

428
00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:37,560
Speaker 2: slaves in North Africa. Facts are our friends. Yes, Now

429
00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:42,120
Speaker 2: to comic and TV hosts Jonathan van Ness, whose pronouns

430
00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:45,680
Speaker 2: are he him, but he also likes she her, and

431
00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:49,720
Speaker 2: they then seems a little greedy. Here's one his Here

432
00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:54,000
Speaker 2: he is on stage talking about how hard it's been

433
00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:56,119
Speaker 2: since Donald Trump won the election.

434
00:26:56,560 --> 00:26:58,359
Speaker 3: Let's just get the elephant out of the room right away.

435
00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:05,560
Speaker 3: Need to make an apology. My dress is way too long,

436
00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:13,760
Speaker 3: and after what our country has been through this week,

437
00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:15,919
Speaker 3: you all deserve to see my unfiltered.

438
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:23,000
Speaker 2: That's what passes for comedy nowadays, folks, it's Graham. What's

439
00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:27,439
Speaker 2: really funny is the unintentional comedy from lefties losing it,

440
00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:30,679
Speaker 2: including a man we've featured heavily in the past week.

441
00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:35,800
Speaker 2: Here is election forecaster professor Alan Lickman, who got it

442
00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:39,840
Speaker 2: so wrong and has gone into this unseemly meltdown on

443
00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:44,480
Speaker 2: multiple programs. He has deluded, folks, and he's clinging to

444
00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:49,480
Speaker 2: that delusion. He claims that Donald Trump ran a terrible campaign,

445
00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:52,440
Speaker 2: despite the fact that he won in a landslide while

446
00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:56,560
Speaker 2: spending a fraction of the money that Kamala Harris met.

447
00:27:57,000 --> 00:27:59,920
Speaker 7: So the idea that Trump was this great charras matter

448
00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:01,879
Speaker 7: figure is absolute nonsense.

449
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:03,879
Speaker 1: And again, if you looked at this campaign.

450
00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:07,679
Speaker 7: It was the worst campaign we've ever seen in the

451
00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:09,520
Speaker 7: history of the country.

452
00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:13,240
Speaker 2: Now this lefty lady is disturbed to learn that she

453
00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:17,120
Speaker 2: can no longer use the red heart emoji. Let's pray

454
00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:17,560
Speaker 2: for her.

455
00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:20,800
Speaker 13: Does anybody else feel like the red heart emoji has

456
00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:24,480
Speaker 13: been totally ruined for them after this week? I did

457
00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:29,000
Speaker 13: not realize until Wednesday that I have a habit of

458
00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:33,440
Speaker 13: ending every text, DM, email, et cetera with a red

459
00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:36,760
Speaker 13: heart emoji. And now I feel like a red heart

460
00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:41,880
Speaker 13: emoji implies maga and so I no longer know how

461
00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:45,640
Speaker 13: to punctuate my sentences. I guess I'll have to go

462
00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:49,560
Speaker 13: back to using like an exclamation mark. What emoji are

463
00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:53,120
Speaker 13: we using now in lieu of the red heart? Because

464
00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:55,200
Speaker 13: the red heart for me is dead at least for

465
00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:55,680
Speaker 13: a while.

466
00:28:56,600 --> 00:28:59,400
Speaker 2: Joining me now for more LIFTI is losing its content

467
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:02,680
Speaker 2: is commit and host of Primetime with Alex Stein on

468
00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:09,520
Speaker 2: Blaze TV. Alex Stein MSNBC gives us so much content

469
00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:13,520
Speaker 2: on this program. The Morning Joe program is in all

470
00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:16,800
Speaker 2: sorts of trouble. They've seen some of their lowest ratings

471
00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:20,760
Speaker 2: since twenty twenty one. The lefties are really upset with

472
00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:24,760
Speaker 2: the host Joe and Meeker for visiting President elect Donald

473
00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:30,480
Speaker 2: Trump at mare Lago. We've got Elon Musk meanwhile teasing

474
00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:35,800
Speaker 2: the idea of buying MSNBC after its parent company, Comcast,

475
00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:39,320
Speaker 2: put the network up for sale. Alex, is this a

476
00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:42,840
Speaker 2: real possibility or is he just having some fun and

477
00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:44,800
Speaker 2: games with the MSNBC crew.

478
00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:48,960
Speaker 14: Well, I think with Elin, I mean everything is possible.

479
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:51,840
Speaker 14: Anything is absolutely possible with Elin. And when you saw

480
00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:56,400
Speaker 14: Rachel Maddow crying because of Elon Musk or you know,

481
00:29:56,440 --> 00:29:58,960
Speaker 14: being emotional and they say maybe the video is edited,

482
00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:02,360
Speaker 14: it doesn't matter. NBC's viewers realize that they can't trust

483
00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:05,360
Speaker 14: that network. That network called everybody a Nazi for eight years.

484
00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:07,520
Speaker 14: They said Kamala Harris is going to win the election.

485
00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:10,440
Speaker 14: So their audience is just leaving in droves because they

486
00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:13,160
Speaker 14: feel like they were duped, and that's exactly what happened.

487
00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:16,480
Speaker 14: So I would love for Elin to buy MSNBC and

488
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:18,760
Speaker 14: resurrect it like he made.

489
00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:23,680
Speaker 1: X the best social media network in the world, Alex.

490
00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:27,920
Speaker 2: It would be fascinating if Elon Musk does follow through

491
00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:32,480
Speaker 2: with this threat and actually purchases MSNBC to see if

492
00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:36,680
Speaker 2: there would be wholesale resignations where all the hosts like

493
00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:40,320
Speaker 2: Madow and Joy Reid and Joe Scarborough would resign on

494
00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:44,000
Speaker 2: principle whether they try to work with him, it would

495
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:46,320
Speaker 2: be fascinating. He would grab the popcorn. But the man

496
00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:48,400
Speaker 2: is pretty busy. He's got a few things to us

497
00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:52,880
Speaker 2: to take care of that. There's pressure on the newly

498
00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:56,960
Speaker 2: formed Department of Government Efficiency, which Elon Musk and Vivek

499
00:30:56,960 --> 00:31:01,000
Speaker 2: Gramaswami will be leading. There's course for them to cut

500
00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:05,920
Speaker 2: funding to NPR, and for good reason. Let's listen to

501
00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:09,320
Speaker 2: the woke boss of NPR who used to be the

502
00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:14,600
Speaker 2: Wiki Media Foundation chief. This is Catherine Mass who seems

503
00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:18,640
Speaker 2: to have some very strange ideas about truth. She thinks

504
00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:22,040
Speaker 2: our reverence for truth is a distraction.

505
00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:25,960
Speaker 15: The wikipedians who write these articles aren't actually focused on

506
00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:29,320
Speaker 15: finding the truth. They're working for something that's a little

507
00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:32,080
Speaker 15: bit more attainable, which is the best of what we

508
00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:36,280
Speaker 15: can know right now, and after seven years there, I

509
00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:39,800
Speaker 15: actually believe that they're onto something that for our most

510
00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:44,000
Speaker 15: tricky disagreements, Seeking the truth and seeking to convince others

511
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:47,000
Speaker 15: of the truth isn't necessarily the best place to start.

512
00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:51,400
Speaker 15: In fact, I think our reverence for the truth might

513
00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:55,760
Speaker 15: become might have become a bit of a distraction that

514
00:31:55,920 --> 00:32:00,120
Speaker 15: is preventing us from finding consensus and getting important things done.

515
00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:04,800
Speaker 2: The truth is a distraction. It's a little disturbing.

516
00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:09,040
Speaker 14: Alex you know, Rita, I'm a full blown conspiracy theorist.

517
00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:14,160
Speaker 14: And they've even made that word, you know, an incredible description.

518
00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:16,920
Speaker 14: If you're described as a conspiracy theorist, you're demonized. But

519
00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:19,400
Speaker 14: during the pandemic, if you looked into it, if you

520
00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:21,280
Speaker 14: did your own research, they called you stupid.

521
00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:22,400
Speaker 1: So this is a.

522
00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:25,520
Speaker 14: Serious issue where they don't want citizens to even seek truth,

523
00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:28,320
Speaker 14: ask questions, have any idea what's going on. They want

524
00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:30,840
Speaker 14: us confused, they want us stressed out, they want us

525
00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:33,200
Speaker 14: focusing not on trying to fix the problems, and they

526
00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:34,360
Speaker 14: want us fighting with each other.

527
00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:36,040
Speaker 1: So this is a much bigger issue.

528
00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:38,720
Speaker 14: In the head of NPR, the National Public Radio is

529
00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:42,560
Speaker 14: saying that truth is not important. It's just that's the

530
00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:45,640
Speaker 14: real what that's really what's happening in America is they're

531
00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:46,480
Speaker 14: hiding the truth.

532
00:32:46,520 --> 00:32:48,680
Speaker 1: And you hear it right then and there.

533
00:32:48,520 --> 00:32:52,000
Speaker 14: From the person that controls our public radio. It's insane, reno.

534
00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:56,800
Speaker 2: It is, and it helps explain why trust in the

535
00:32:56,880 --> 00:32:59,920
Speaker 2: media in the US is that historic lows. I think

536
00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:04,480
Speaker 2: they've earnt that mistrust well and truly. And the trust

537
00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:08,040
Speaker 2: in the public institutions in general is so low, and

538
00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:11,760
Speaker 2: that's why Trump won so comprehensively. People want him to

539
00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:15,120
Speaker 2: go in there and clean up these institutions that have

540
00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:20,280
Speaker 2: become so politicized and really lost their way. Talking about

541
00:33:20,320 --> 00:33:24,280
Speaker 2: Donald Trump, let's have a look at his new attorney general.

542
00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:30,800
Speaker 2: He selected former Florida Agpam Bondie after Matt Gates dropped out.

543
00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:34,960
Speaker 2: That was a surprise to many, but lefties everywhere are

544
00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:39,280
Speaker 2: still freaking out about this latest selection. Let's have a

545
00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:41,200
Speaker 2: look at what MSNBC had to say.

546
00:33:41,480 --> 00:33:43,400
Speaker 16: Pam Bondi is exactly what I was saying in the

547
00:33:43,480 --> 00:33:46,520
Speaker 16: last segment that we should all fear because she's competent.

548
00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:49,840
Speaker 16: We may not agree with her ideologically, but she actually

549
00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:52,360
Speaker 16: knows how to do this job. So if anyone on

550
00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:54,600
Speaker 16: the Democratic side or anyone who cared about liberty or

551
00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:57,080
Speaker 16: justice was thinking, well, maybe Matt Gates will screw this

552
00:33:57,160 --> 00:33:59,520
Speaker 16: up and that'll give us some time, no, pambody knows

553
00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:02,720
Speaker 16: what she's doing. She is a dangerous and effective pick.

554
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:05,719
Speaker 16: And that's frankly worse than what we would have got

555
00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:06,480
Speaker 16: with Matt Gates.

556
00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:09,080
Speaker 2: Well, that's music to my ears. I want to hear

557
00:34:09,160 --> 00:34:13,080
Speaker 2: that that she's got the same ideology as Matt Gates

558
00:34:13,160 --> 00:34:16,640
Speaker 2: and has been highly effective in implementing the sort of

559
00:34:16,719 --> 00:34:21,080
Speaker 2: changes Trump wants to see at a national level. What

560
00:34:21,160 --> 00:34:24,240
Speaker 2: can you tell me about Pam Bondie, Because she's also

561
00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:29,600
Speaker 2: received praise from rhinos, including Jeb Bush and Mitt Romney.

562
00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:32,440
Speaker 2: That's worried a few people if that's not normally a

563
00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:36,520
Speaker 2: good sign. Do you know much about Pam Bondie?

564
00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:40,600
Speaker 1: You know, my knowledge is limited. She kind of, for me,

565
00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:41,600
Speaker 1: came out of nowhere.

566
00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:43,759
Speaker 14: And I was really disappointed when Matt Gates wasn't the

567
00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:46,359
Speaker 14: Attorney General and he stepped down because I know MATD.

568
00:34:46,400 --> 00:34:49,080
Speaker 1: Gates would actually go after a lot of the corruption.

569
00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:52,200
Speaker 14: That's happening within you know, the unelected bureaucrats of the

570
00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:54,440
Speaker 14: FBI and all of our alphabet agency, So that.

571
00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:55,200
Speaker 1: Would have been great.

572
00:34:55,560 --> 00:34:58,040
Speaker 14: Pam Bondi, though, is supported by, like you said, a

573
00:34:58,040 --> 00:34:59,839
Speaker 14: lot of rhinos, and you know Rita.

574
00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:01,479
Speaker 1: That is one problem. Trump is great.

575
00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:05,680
Speaker 14: Trump is anti establishment, but even there's conservatives on the

576
00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:07,799
Speaker 14: right that don't have Donald Trump's back, that will you

577
00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:10,160
Speaker 14: pretend to have Donald Trump's back. So I'm not saying

578
00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:12,279
Speaker 14: that's the case of Pam Bindy. I'm just saying it's

579
00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:16,160
Speaker 14: hard to trust anybody that's in politics because they all

580
00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:18,320
Speaker 14: seem to lie to her. So I hope Pam Bindy

581
00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:20,040
Speaker 14: does a great job. The fact that the left is

582
00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:22,360
Speaker 14: afraid of her that is a good indication. That's a

583
00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:24,640
Speaker 14: good start. And if they're saying she's effective and she

584
00:35:24,719 --> 00:35:26,400
Speaker 14: is effective, well then she'll.

585
00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:28,279
Speaker 1: Be a great pick. But the jury's out. We got

586
00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:29,640
Speaker 1: to wait and see.

587
00:35:31,280 --> 00:35:34,279
Speaker 2: Well, it's such a critical role, isn't it. You really

588
00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:38,600
Speaker 2: want someone who gets the agenda, is on board and

589
00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:41,320
Speaker 2: willing to fight the good fight. In that role, ed

590
00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:44,560
Speaker 2: is one of the most important ones Alex. The mayor

591
00:35:44,600 --> 00:35:48,880
Speaker 2: of Denver, Mike Johnson, has said that he'd deployed local

592
00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:54,200
Speaker 2: police to block Donald Trump's mass deportations, and it's worth

593
00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:58,920
Speaker 2: noting that hours after he made that vow, an illegal

594
00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:03,320
Speaker 2: immigrant in Denver was charged with sexually assaulting a fourteen

595
00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:07,879
Speaker 2: year old girl. How much resistance is Donald Trump going

596
00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:13,760
Speaker 2: to face, Alex from sanctuary city mayors and other lifters

597
00:36:13,880 --> 00:36:18,680
Speaker 2: who are determined to obstruct his administration's deportation plan.

598
00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:23,600
Speaker 14: Well, you know, the mayor of Denver me being polite

599
00:36:23,680 --> 00:36:25,680
Speaker 14: as an idiot. If he thinks he's going to stop this,

600
00:36:26,239 --> 00:36:29,040
Speaker 14: Donald Trump's kicking people out that are here illegally. Donald

601
00:36:29,040 --> 00:36:30,920
Speaker 14: Trump's going to do that. I mean Tom Homan, the

602
00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:33,600
Speaker 14: guy he appointed, is a no nonsense guy that's going to.

603
00:36:33,600 --> 00:36:34,680
Speaker 1: Get these people out of there.

604
00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:36,640
Speaker 14: And if you really look at the people in the

605
00:36:36,680 --> 00:36:39,800
Speaker 14: cities that are plagued by this problem, the illegal immigration

606
00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:41,920
Speaker 14: is in New York and you have Mayor Eric Adams,

607
00:36:42,160 --> 00:36:46,080
Speaker 14: who's a lifelong Democrat, basically cozying up to Donald Trump

608
00:36:46,120 --> 00:36:47,920
Speaker 14: because he needs his help, he needs to support. He

609
00:36:47,960 --> 00:36:50,520
Speaker 14: realizes that a lot of these people have criminal records.

610
00:36:50,239 --> 00:36:52,160
Speaker 1: And that we can't vet them at the border. So

611
00:36:52,239 --> 00:36:52,720
Speaker 1: if you're.

612
00:36:52,640 --> 00:36:54,520
Speaker 14: Unvetted and we don't know that, if you're a murderer,

613
00:36:54,600 --> 00:36:56,440
Speaker 14: if you have a sexual assault on your record, and

614
00:36:56,480 --> 00:36:59,160
Speaker 14: we're just letting go in the country, that's unacceptable.

615
00:36:59,200 --> 00:37:00,719
Speaker 1: So we have to stop that. If you want to

616
00:37:00,719 --> 00:37:02,080
Speaker 1: come here, you've got to come here legally.

617
00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:03,920
Speaker 14: And I think Donald Trump has even said that if

618
00:37:03,960 --> 00:37:05,520
Speaker 14: you graduate from a school, who's going to make it

619
00:37:05,600 --> 00:37:08,399
Speaker 14: easier for you to get citizenships. So it's like these

620
00:37:08,440 --> 00:37:11,520
Speaker 14: mayors to think what Donald Trump is doing is sinister

621
00:37:11,680 --> 00:37:14,799
Speaker 14: or bad for trying to protect American citizens makes me sick.

622
00:37:14,840 --> 00:37:17,920
Speaker 14: And the sanctuary the sanctuary cities are not going to

623
00:37:17,920 --> 00:37:20,359
Speaker 14: be able to stop Donald Trump. If Donald Trump wants

624
00:37:20,360 --> 00:37:21,440
Speaker 14: to get the job done.

625
00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:26,000
Speaker 2: Well, he has a mandate to do this. This isn't

626
00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:29,840
Speaker 2: a surprise. This was an election promise and the American

627
00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:33,520
Speaker 2: people voted for it. So I just don't know how

628
00:37:34,239 --> 00:37:39,040
Speaker 2: any mayor can say we're not participating in this talk

629
00:37:39,080 --> 00:37:42,920
Speaker 2: about democracy denying that's a threat to democracy right there,

630
00:37:43,080 --> 00:37:46,760
Speaker 2: denying the will of the American people. Before you go, Alex,

631
00:37:47,040 --> 00:37:50,799
Speaker 2: we don't talk about art enough on this program. We're

632
00:37:50,840 --> 00:37:54,239
Speaker 2: clearly Philipstein's and I've got to say this painting here

633
00:37:54,320 --> 00:37:58,520
Speaker 2: looks to me like it was painted by a untalented child,

634
00:37:59,040 --> 00:38:00,440
Speaker 2: But it's a mass apiece.

635
00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:04,920
Speaker 17: The star of this Evening's auction the fabulous Mark roth

636
00:38:04,960 --> 00:38:08,960
Speaker 17: Goo from nineteen fifty four, fifty percent of the works

637
00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:11,040
Speaker 17: from this incredible year for the artists to house in

638
00:38:11,040 --> 00:38:13,920
Speaker 17: permanent museum collections. This is an incredibly rare opportunity to

639
00:38:13,960 --> 00:38:18,000
Speaker 17: buy one of the greatest works by the artist, Alex.

640
00:38:18,080 --> 00:38:22,040
Speaker 2: It ended up selling for thirty two million US. That

641
00:38:22,200 --> 00:38:24,759
Speaker 2: is thirty percent lower than it sold for a few

642
00:38:24,840 --> 00:38:28,279
Speaker 2: years back. But I'm starting to believe you said you're

643
00:38:28,320 --> 00:38:31,960
Speaker 2: a conspiracy theorist, and I'm starting to believe these conspiracy

644
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:36,480
Speaker 2: theories about the art world being largely funded by a

645
00:38:36,560 --> 00:38:39,400
Speaker 2: money laundering operation. I mean, how can that be worth

646
00:38:39,560 --> 00:38:41,480
Speaker 2: thirty two million US?

647
00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:46,240
Speaker 14: Reader, you nailed this is some sort of CIA moneyliner scam.

648
00:38:46,280 --> 00:38:48,399
Speaker 14: I don't know what it is, but that doesn't make

649
00:38:48,560 --> 00:38:49,920
Speaker 14: any sense to me.

650
00:38:50,120 --> 00:38:51,680
Speaker 1: So I think you're right on the nose.

651
00:38:51,680 --> 00:38:53,600
Speaker 14: You're right on the money when it comes to seeing

652
00:38:53,680 --> 00:38:55,960
Speaker 14: what is going on it doesn't make sense.

653
00:38:58,600 --> 00:39:02,880
Speaker 2: Well, yes, but I should make clear for legal purposes,

654
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:06,600
Speaker 2: I'm not suggesting whoever purchase that painting for thirty two

655
00:39:06,680 --> 00:39:10,120
Speaker 2: million US is involved in money laundering. I'm just talking

656
00:39:10,160 --> 00:39:14,960
Speaker 2: broadly about these conspiracy theories that exist about the art world.

657
00:39:16,280 --> 00:39:19,600
Speaker 2: Just making that crystal clear. Alex Stein, thanks for your

658
00:39:19,600 --> 00:39:20,200
Speaker 2: time tonight.

659
00:39:21,360 --> 00:39:21,680

664
00:39:47,680 --> 00:39:52,120
Speaker 2: But Light has been trying to redeem itself ever since

665
00:39:52,200 --> 00:39:56,960
Speaker 2: that crazy Woke episode where they had a transactivist promote

666
00:39:57,000 --> 00:40:00,520
Speaker 2: their brand and promptly lose most of their custmers and

667
00:40:00,600 --> 00:40:04,640
Speaker 2: more than a billion dollars. Here is their new ad

668
00:40:04,800 --> 00:40:13,680
Speaker 2: featuring comic Shane Gillis, Because a passion?

669
00:40:14,560 --> 00:40:21,120
Speaker 1: What oh, where's a snake?

670
00:40:21,400 --> 00:40:22,640
Speaker 18: We are all lost?

671
00:40:22,800 --> 00:40:24,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm lost lost.

672
00:40:24,600 --> 00:40:25,560
Speaker 16: Year, but we are on.

673
00:40:27,719 --> 00:40:32,880
Speaker 1: I spuke for s. That's hey, I think I'm in

674
00:40:32,880 --> 00:40:36,399
Speaker 1: the wrong commercial. What Yeah, this isn't right?

675
00:40:36,600 --> 00:40:38,000
Speaker 19: Wait aren't you Andre?

676
00:40:38,560 --> 00:40:41,160
Speaker 1: No, I'm I'm Shane Why Shane.

677
00:40:42,640 --> 00:40:47,200
Speaker 2: Kinsy. What's been the reaction to that ad? I know

678
00:40:47,360 --> 00:40:51,560
Speaker 2: they've done others that have tried to be anti woke

679
00:40:51,800 --> 00:40:54,920
Speaker 2: to say that was a mistake. It's behind us, But

680
00:40:55,080 --> 00:40:59,799
Speaker 2: I wonder if they're customers are actually forgiving and forgetting

681
00:40:59,840 --> 00:41:01,200
Speaker 2: and drinking bud Light again.

682
00:41:02,280 --> 00:41:05,880
Speaker 19: Unfortunately the answer is no. The content is great, but

683
00:41:06,200 --> 00:41:10,719
Speaker 19: their customers, our former customers, are asking why can't they apologize?

684
00:41:10,920 --> 00:41:13,880
Speaker 19: I mean six million people have viewed that ad alone

685
00:41:13,920 --> 00:41:17,319
Speaker 19: from one tweet, but reaction is not all positive. Some

686
00:41:17,400 --> 00:41:19,960
Speaker 19: are saying, you know, why couldn't you have responded with

687
00:41:20,080 --> 00:41:23,080
Speaker 19: humor from the start? Translation too little, too late. Others

688
00:41:23,080 --> 00:41:27,120
Speaker 19: are asking if they are allergic to apologies. The execution

689
00:41:27,280 --> 00:41:29,640
Speaker 19: was great, Shane was the right personality, but it's going

690
00:41:29,719 --> 00:41:32,160
Speaker 19: to take some time for these people to come back around.

691
00:41:34,280 --> 00:41:37,640
Speaker 2: Oh absolutely, And the parent company has lost more than

692
00:41:37,680 --> 00:41:41,680
Speaker 2: a billion dollars. It just shows you, when you go work,

693
00:41:41,960 --> 00:41:46,040
Speaker 2: you can go broke. That's saying can apply to some companies,

694
00:41:46,080 --> 00:41:50,600
Speaker 2: and Jaguar, the car company, should hate that advice because

695
00:41:50,600 --> 00:41:55,279
Speaker 2: they've just gone completely crazy with their latest ad Now,

696
00:41:55,320 --> 00:41:59,520
Speaker 2: let's talk about the much anticipated cinema adaptation of the

697
00:41:59,520 --> 00:42:03,840
Speaker 2: Broadway musical musical Wicked. It's in cinemas now. The co

698
00:42:04,040 --> 00:42:08,560
Speaker 2: stars Ariana Grande and Cynthia Arrivo have been doing the

699
00:42:08,920 --> 00:42:12,239
Speaker 2: media rounds promoting the film, including here in Australia, but

700
00:42:12,320 --> 00:42:16,520
Speaker 2: the pair have been widely mocked for their often cringe

701
00:42:16,600 --> 00:42:22,040
Speaker 2: worthy efforts in these interviews, including this bizarre interaction this

702
00:42:22,080 --> 00:42:23,919
Speaker 2: is with out magazine.

703
00:42:24,320 --> 00:42:28,440
Speaker 10: I've seen this week. People are taking the lyrics of

704
00:42:28,480 --> 00:42:32,080
Speaker 10: defying gravity and really holding space with that and feeling

705
00:42:32,200 --> 00:42:32,960
Speaker 10: power in that.

706
00:42:33,840 --> 00:42:36,880
Speaker 2: I didn't know that that was happening. I've seen it. Yeah,

707
00:42:37,280 --> 00:42:42,640
Speaker 2: that's really powerful. That's why I wanted.

708
00:42:46,600 --> 00:42:47,720
Speaker 11: I didn't know that was happening.

709
00:42:48,760 --> 00:42:50,480
Speaker 10: I've seen it on a couple of posts. I don't

710
00:42:50,520 --> 00:42:52,360
Speaker 10: know how wide spread, but you know, I am in

711
00:42:52,840 --> 00:42:55,680
Speaker 10: queer media, so that's my cool.

712
00:42:56,160 --> 00:42:59,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, she's just seen a couple of them. What can

713
00:42:59,040 --> 00:43:01,560
Speaker 2: you tell me about this project? I've got to be honest,

714
00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:07,320
Speaker 2: I know absolutely nothing about Wicked. I have zero interests.

715
00:43:07,360 --> 00:43:12,440
Speaker 2: But tell me, against my will, it informed me kinzy

716
00:43:12,600 --> 00:43:15,640
Speaker 2: about this project, why some people are obsessed with it

717
00:43:15,840 --> 00:43:20,040
Speaker 2: and about this interviews, because it's not the only one.

718
00:43:20,080 --> 00:43:23,560
Speaker 2: I've seen other ones where they're both crying along with

719
00:43:23,640 --> 00:43:24,280
Speaker 2: the interviewer.

720
00:43:25,480 --> 00:43:28,040
Speaker 19: Have you seen the way they hold fingers too. They

721
00:43:28,040 --> 00:43:32,040
Speaker 19: don't hold hands, they hold fingers with like index fingers.

722
00:43:32,080 --> 00:43:34,200
Speaker 19: It is so weird. Yeah, I mean a lot of

723
00:43:34,200 --> 00:43:36,880
Speaker 19: people are passionate about Wicked. I think that that's great,

724
00:43:38,160 --> 00:43:40,319
Speaker 19: and this movie was made for those people that are

725
00:43:40,360 --> 00:43:45,480
Speaker 19: passionate about Wicked, But Cynthia Arrivo has ruined the experience

726
00:43:45,560 --> 00:43:47,880
Speaker 19: for some of them. I hate when people take themselves

727
00:43:47,920 --> 00:43:51,040
Speaker 19: too seriously, and that's the definition of Cynthia throughout this

728
00:43:51,560 --> 00:43:55,120
Speaker 19: promotion of the film. My favorite comment under that video was,

729
00:43:55,160 --> 00:43:56,120
Speaker 19: am I an ketamine?

730
00:43:56,280 --> 00:43:57,000
Speaker 2: What's going on?

731
00:43:57,440 --> 00:44:00,920
Speaker 19: And another one said the interviewer sounds like mala And

732
00:44:01,080 --> 00:44:03,200
Speaker 19: how accurate is that description?

733
00:44:05,760 --> 00:44:09,880
Speaker 2: Am I on ketamine? Yeah, that's not the response you

734
00:44:10,000 --> 00:44:13,680
Speaker 2: want from a heartfelt moment, which I think they thought

735
00:44:13,719 --> 00:44:17,239
Speaker 2: that was Meghan and Harry. We can't get enough of them.

736
00:44:17,280 --> 00:44:22,640
Speaker 2: The Sussexes have released the trailer for their latest Netflix documentary,

737
00:44:22,920 --> 00:44:26,760
Speaker 2: It's About Polo, but the trailer has already been torn

738
00:44:26,800 --> 00:44:29,720
Speaker 2: to shreds, with former friends of Prince Harry who actually

739
00:44:29,920 --> 00:44:35,280
Speaker 2: played the game, saying that this is just appalling. They

740
00:44:35,360 --> 00:44:39,040
Speaker 2: were left in appalled hysterics by the trailer. They called

741
00:44:39,040 --> 00:44:42,000
Speaker 2: it hilarious but not in a good way, and they

742
00:44:42,080 --> 00:44:45,879
Speaker 2: labeled it tacky and cringey. Let's have a look at

743
00:44:46,000 --> 00:44:46,920
Speaker 2: some of that trailer.

744
00:44:47,640 --> 00:44:51,839
Speaker 17: Yeah, channel when they've got so your buddy, it's addictiny.

745
00:44:54,040 --> 00:44:55,400
Speaker 1: Oiler is not just a sport.

746
00:44:56,400 --> 00:45:01,640
Speaker 2: Olo is a life statue, Need we breathe, we sleep?

747
00:45:02,000 --> 00:45:02,400
Speaker 1: Polo?

748
00:45:04,400 --> 00:45:11,440
Speaker 2: Really a documentary about Polo? Mainstream appeal doesn't come to mind.

749
00:45:11,600 --> 00:45:15,280
Speaker 2: Is that really the project that they thought was going

750
00:45:15,360 --> 00:45:16,160
Speaker 2: to work?

751
00:45:17,440 --> 00:45:19,680
Speaker 19: I mean it's not a documentary, it's a reality show

752
00:45:19,719 --> 00:45:22,080
Speaker 19: because if you watch how dramatic that trailer is, it's

753
00:45:22,120 --> 00:45:27,080
Speaker 19: like it was in Bravo's Rejection Pile, for sure. But

754
00:45:27,400 --> 00:45:30,960
Speaker 19: you can't ignore the hypocrisy of Prince Harry and Megan

755
00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:34,040
Speaker 19: Markle telling us that we need to be more conscious of,

756
00:45:34,280 --> 00:45:37,000
Speaker 19: you know, the environment, and we need to watch how

757
00:45:37,040 --> 00:45:39,399
Speaker 19: we travel through Travelist and then you have a man

758
00:45:39,440 --> 00:45:43,640
Speaker 19: in your trailer saying he flies to Argentina or wherever

759
00:45:43,719 --> 00:45:46,839
Speaker 19: two times a week to play polo. I mean, like,

760
00:45:47,360 --> 00:45:50,479
Speaker 19: who watches these people and holds them accountable because it'll

761
00:45:50,560 --> 00:45:54,399
Speaker 19: drive you crazy. But yeah, Netflix incredibly disappointed that Prince

762
00:45:54,440 --> 00:45:57,840
Speaker 19: Harry is not more involved throughout the project. You know,

763
00:45:57,880 --> 00:46:00,560
Speaker 19: their return on investment simply isn't there. And they've learned

764
00:46:00,560 --> 00:46:01,120
Speaker 19: the hard way.

765
00:46:03,719 --> 00:46:06,640
Speaker 2: They invested plenty in those two and yeah, you're right,

766
00:46:06,680 --> 00:46:11,120
Speaker 2: the returns have been very low. Indeed, Canadian Prime Minister

767
00:46:11,160 --> 00:46:15,000
Speaker 2: to Justin Trudeaux come under fire for attending a Taylor

768
00:46:15,080 --> 00:46:20,560
Speaker 2: Swift concert while violent and destructive protests were underway in Montreal.

769
00:46:21,440 --> 00:46:24,799
Speaker 2: Tell me about the reaction to this video of him dancing.

770
00:46:24,960 --> 00:46:28,120
Speaker 2: There's lots of videos of him dancing at the concert,

771
00:46:28,280 --> 00:46:32,959
Speaker 2: just having the time of his life and seemingly unconcerned

772
00:46:32,960 --> 00:46:35,080
Speaker 2: about what's happening on the streets in Montreal.

773
00:46:36,280 --> 00:46:38,920
Speaker 19: I mean, this man should have known better. This was

774
00:46:38,960 --> 00:46:41,360
Speaker 19: such a pr fell on his partner because he wasn't

775
00:46:41,400 --> 00:46:43,640
Speaker 19: just at a Taylor Swift concert. He was living his

776
00:46:43,760 --> 00:46:46,960
Speaker 19: best life at the Taylor Swift concert. And it's amazing

777
00:46:47,000 --> 00:46:51,080
Speaker 19: that when truckers were protesting the vaccine, Justin was engaged

778
00:46:51,200 --> 00:46:54,920
Speaker 19: enough to freeze their personal and corporate bank accounts. But

779
00:46:54,960 --> 00:46:58,680
Speaker 19: when pro Palestine and anti Semites take to the streets

780
00:46:58,719 --> 00:47:02,600
Speaker 19: and are destructive, he's too busy twerking at the Taylor concert.

781
00:47:02,719 --> 00:47:04,920
Speaker 19: It's not a good look and a lot of people

782
00:47:05,440 --> 00:47:06,799
Speaker 19: are up in arms over it.

783
00:47:09,040 --> 00:47:12,359
Speaker 2: Trudeau twerking that the words I don't want to hear

784
00:47:12,480 --> 00:47:16,839
Speaker 2: ever again in the same sentence Kinsey before you Go.

785
00:47:17,040 --> 00:47:20,960
Speaker 2: Billboard has published its staff selected list of the one

786
00:47:21,080 --> 00:47:24,520
Speaker 2: hundred best country artists from the last one hundred years,

787
00:47:24,600 --> 00:47:29,600
Speaker 2: but it has not included country music star Jason Aldi,

788
00:47:29,840 --> 00:47:33,960
Speaker 2: known for his conservative beliefs, is a big Donald Trump supporter.

789
00:47:34,360 --> 00:47:38,520
Speaker 2: He has twenty eight number one hits under his belt already,

790
00:47:39,120 --> 00:47:41,680
Speaker 2: and one of his most popular songs of the last

791
00:47:41,680 --> 00:47:44,360
Speaker 2: couple of years is try that in a small town.

792
00:47:46,560 --> 00:47:56,840
Speaker 18: Try that is smart town, CFFI make them, Kinsey, his wife,

793
00:47:56,920 --> 00:48:01,480
Speaker 18: Brittany Aldan is blaming woke politics for a husband being

794
00:48:01,560 --> 00:48:03,320
Speaker 18: excluded from this list.

795
00:48:03,800 --> 00:48:05,120
Speaker 2: What else can you tell us?

796
00:48:05,800 --> 00:48:08,920
Speaker 19: Yeah, I'm confident that Jason and Brittany Aldan are correct.

797
00:48:09,080 --> 00:48:11,759
Speaker 19: Jason stumped for Trump in Georgia. We saw them at

798
00:48:11,760 --> 00:48:16,400
Speaker 19: the Republican National Convention. Journalists are typically pretty liberal and intolerant,

799
00:48:16,440 --> 00:48:18,759
Speaker 19: so I do imagine that this was a political and

800
00:48:18,840 --> 00:48:23,560
Speaker 19: personal exclusion. Number ninety nine was Maren Morris. And if

801
00:48:23,600 --> 00:48:27,799
Speaker 19: you are familiar with Jason Aldean and Brittany Aldan, you'll

802
00:48:27,800 --> 00:48:30,319
Speaker 19: know that they do not get along because of their

803
00:48:30,360 --> 00:48:33,799
Speaker 19: conservative values. And I mean, she's a terror. She said

804
00:48:33,840 --> 00:48:36,840
Speaker 19: she was no longer going to be a country musician,

805
00:48:36,920 --> 00:48:40,160
Speaker 19: So the fact that she's included no longer going to

806
00:48:40,200 --> 00:48:43,640
Speaker 19: be one because of the conservative values. So the fact

807
00:48:43,680 --> 00:48:45,759
Speaker 19: that she's included is kind of a slap in the

808
00:48:45,800 --> 00:48:46,960
Speaker 19: face to the Aldans.

809
00:48:49,120 --> 00:48:52,560
Speaker 2: Absolutely, Kinsisco, Phil, thanks for your time tonight, and that's

810
00:48:52,680 --> 00:48:55,960
Speaker 2: all the time we've got. I'll see you at eleven tomorrow.

811
00:48:56,160 --> 00:48:57,719
Speaker 2: Up next is Newsnight
