He is losing it tonight. 14 00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:54,600 Speaker 3: We have a young man pretending to be a woman 15 00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:57,760 Speaker 3: who wants a safe space away from women. 16 00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:05,880 Speaker 4: I want to see beast from siss women. How about that? 17 00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:09,280 Speaker 3: But first, our fears that the charges laid against Ben 18 00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:13,360 Speaker 3: Roberts Smith will have a dramatic effect on recruitment efforts 19 00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:16,560 Speaker 3: for the Australian Defense Force. Former labor Defense Minister Joel 20 00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:20,800 Speaker 3: Fitzgibbon is among experts warning that the charges against Robert 21 00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:24,360 Speaker 3: Smith will make recruitment more difficulty. Said, I fear some 22 00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:28,120 Speaker 3: parents will discourage their adult children from becoming involved in 23 00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:31,760 Speaker 3: the Defense Forces because of the treatment of an Australian hero. 24 00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:35,399 Speaker 3: Victoria Cross recipient Ben Robert Smith has been charged with 25 00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:38,839 Speaker 3: five counts of the war crime of murder the five 26 00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:42,759 Speaker 3: alleged defenses occurring in Afghanistan between two thousand and nine 27 00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:47,000 Speaker 3: and twenty twelve. If found guilty, the maximum penalty is 28 00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:50,280 Speaker 3: life in prison. Joining me now is the Institute of 29 00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:54,080 Speaker 3: Public Affairs chief economist Adam Crichton and former Liberal MP 30 00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:58,080 Speaker 3: Nicole Flint. Nicole, I'll start with you. The Australian Defense 31 00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:01,040 Speaker 3: Force currently has sixty one thous members. It wants to 32 00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:04,760 Speaker 3: have eighty thousand members by twenty forty. I don't think 33 00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:07,840 Speaker 3: that's likely under the current circumstances. 34 00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:08,080 Speaker 5: Do you? 35 00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:10,880 Speaker 6: I don't think it's likely. 36 00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:14,919 Speaker 5: Rita, Why would you join the Australian Defense Force and 37 00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:19,840 Speaker 5: risk your life and your reputation and your family knowing 38 00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:23,040 Speaker 5: what has just happened to Ben Roberts Smith, one of our. 39 00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:25,240 Speaker 6: Most decorated soldiers. 40 00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:28,399 Speaker 5: Why would you sign up when you know that your 41 00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:32,880 Speaker 5: superiors probably won't be held to account for alleged cultural 42 00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:37,160 Speaker 5: issues or issues and things that may have happened on 43 00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:40,280 Speaker 5: the battlefield. Why would you sign up to endure a 44 00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:43,680 Speaker 5: decade of allegations hanging over you and then have the 45 00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:47,720 Speaker 5: full force of the federal government departments and sections of 46 00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:52,760 Speaker 5: the mainstream media pursuing you. Rita, it is completely unfair 47 00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:58,480 Speaker 5: and I just can't see how people can have confidence 48 00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:04,680 Speaker 5: in joining our defense right now under these circumstances, particularly 49 00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:07,040 Speaker 5: after you look at the manner in which Ben Robert 50 00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:11,160 Speaker 5: Smith was arrested, which I think would make Russia and 51 00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:14,720 Speaker 5: Chinese communists really happy. He was arrested in front of 52 00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:18,960 Speaker 5: his family. He was arrested in public at an airport. 53 00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:22,800 Speaker 5: The media were there. How they were granted access like 54 00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:25,079 Speaker 5: they were is beyond belief. 55 00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:26,519 Speaker 6: The AFP have a lot. 56 00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:29,519 Speaker 5: To answer for, but of course the AFP aren't answering 57 00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:33,600 Speaker 5: any questions. Rita, this is an absolutely shocking situation, and 58 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,680 Speaker 5: at a time when we have record low recruitment. 59 00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:38,600 Speaker 6: And defense, it is just a disaster. 60 00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:45,200 Speaker 3: On the arrest, Adam, the AFP really need to account 61 00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:47,680 Speaker 3: for how certain members of the media seem to be 62 00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:50,800 Speaker 3: forewarned of this arrest. They seemed to be right there 63 00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:55,840 Speaker 3: with their cameras trained so they could capture the event. 64 00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:58,160 Speaker 3: It's like a humiliation ritual. 65 00:03:58,360 --> 00:03:58,520 Speaker 7: Yeah. 66 00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:01,360 Speaker 8: Look, and he's already been humiliated quite well enough, I 67 00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:04,200 Speaker 8: would say, in previous years. Look, it doesn't surprise me. 68 00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:06,760 Speaker 8: There's leaks from the AFP, like there are any police forces. 69 00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:08,600 Speaker 8: It's a bad thing, and of course it's designed to 70 00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:12,080 Speaker 8: add to the humiliation as you as you say. 71 00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:13,160 Speaker 7: Look, the only things that I. 72 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:15,720 Speaker 8: Would add to Nicole's comments there, which I completely agree with, 73 00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:18,240 Speaker 8: is that you know, these these events are based on 74 00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:20,360 Speaker 8: two thousand and nine, I think twenty twelve or something. 75 00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:23,040 Speaker 8: Shouldn't there be some sort of statute limitations with these charges? 76 00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:25,679 Speaker 8: I mean, how can you have so many years later 77 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:27,880 Speaker 8: these charges brought against you. I mean, of course you 78 00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:29,839 Speaker 8: would not join. You know, as a young man or woman, 79 00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:32,279 Speaker 8: you would not join the force thinking that. You know, 80 00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:34,080 Speaker 8: even after you leave, and even if you win the 81 00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:37,960 Speaker 8: Victoria Cross, you could still be charged with murder fourteen 82 00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:39,919 Speaker 8: fifteen years later. It's crazy. 83 00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:44,279 Speaker 3: Well. Hugh Pote, the father of Fall an Australian soldier, 84 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:49,159 Speaker 3: Private Robert Pote has question why dedicated team of investigators 85 00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:52,080 Speaker 3: has spent six years building a case against Ben Robert 86 00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:55,840 Speaker 3: Smith while his son killer remains free. Robert was one 87 00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:59,920 Speaker 3: of three Australians killed in Afghanistan by rogue Afghans so 88 00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:05,000 Speaker 3: known as heck Matulla, while they were playing cards. This 89 00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:08,560 Speaker 3: happened at a base in twenty twelve. Hugh told The 90 00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:13,200 Speaker 3: Daily Telegraph they've spent ten years and hundreds of millions 91 00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:17,080 Speaker 3: determined to find enough evidence to arrest Ben for allegedly 92 00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:20,880 Speaker 3: murdering three Afghans, but successive governments have taken no action 93 00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:25,760 Speaker 3: at all to capture heck Matulla and those who proudly 94 00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:30,200 Speaker 3: confessed in the Afghan Supreme Court to murdering three Australian soldiers. 95 00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:33,520 Speaker 3: My son was one of them. Nicole, This is just 96 00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:37,359 Speaker 3: a heartbreaking case and you can understand that father's grief. 97 00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:43,160 Speaker 3: Why hasn't more been done to bring some justice to 98 00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:47,920 Speaker 3: this rogue Afghan soldier and anyone else who assisted him? 99 00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:51,320 Speaker 5: Well precisely, and I think that this is the very 100 00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:55,760 Speaker 5: question that she should be put to every single Defense 101 00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:57,760 Speaker 5: minister who has served. 102 00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:02,400 Speaker 6: In that portfolio since the incident and our involvement in 103 00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:03,400 Speaker 6: the Afghan war. 104 00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:06,760 Speaker 5: I would love to hear their answers, and I would 105 00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:09,480 Speaker 5: also love to hear the answers from the AFFE, from 106 00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:12,320 Speaker 5: the Department of Defense and any other bureaucrats that have 107 00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:18,800 Speaker 5: been involved in this entire reprehensible process involving our sas 108 00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:23,000 Speaker 5: troops and particularly Ben Roberts Smith. And I'm guessing Rita, 109 00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:25,720 Speaker 5: but one of the answers as to why they haven't 110 00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:30,480 Speaker 5: pursued Afghans who murdered Australian troops is. 111 00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:32,360 Speaker 6: Because that would be quite difficult. 112 00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:35,000 Speaker 5: They would have to leave the safety of Australia, they 113 00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:38,800 Speaker 5: would have to go to a terrorist controlled country, they 114 00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:41,280 Speaker 5: would have to put their lives at risk, and I 115 00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:43,880 Speaker 5: sincerely doubt we will see that happen. Now. 116 00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:45,559 Speaker 6: I'd love to be proven wrong. 117 00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:48,120 Speaker 5: So please, if you're a bureaucrat out there who has 118 00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:52,400 Speaker 5: actually done the right thing and tried to bring justice 119 00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:57,000 Speaker 5: for an Australian soldier who gave his life for our nation, 120 00:06:57,120 --> 00:07:00,680 Speaker 5: I would love to hear about it. 121 00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:04,279 Speaker 3: Adam, the War Memorial in Canberra has confirmed it won't 122 00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:08,200 Speaker 3: take down its display of Ben Roberts Smith while he's 123 00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:10,760 Speaker 3: facing these charges. Is that the right decision? 124 00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:11,080 Speaker 6: Yeah? 125 00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:12,840 Speaker 8: Look, I think it certainly is. There's something in this 126 00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:15,840 Speaker 8: country called the presumption of innocence, and he is certainly 127 00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:20,080 Speaker 8: innocent until proven otherwise in a court of law. You know, 128 00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:22,320 Speaker 8: we often forget that. I think people are charged with 129 00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:25,880 Speaker 8: things and then it's basically treated like they've actually done it. 130 00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:27,680 Speaker 8: You know, it just goes back to my earlier point. 131 00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:30,040 Speaker 8: I mean, it's been so long since these events, the 132 00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:32,440 Speaker 8: charges are still being brought, and could I just stress 133 00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:34,720 Speaker 8: you know, the decision to charge someone is real. It's 134 00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:38,280 Speaker 8: almost a political decision when you have limited resources in 135 00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:42,160 Speaker 8: the AFP, in the Commonwealth Department Prosecutions, et cetera. So 136 00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:44,480 Speaker 8: I just don't understand from a pragmatic point of view, 137 00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:47,080 Speaker 8: solely pragmatic point of view, why would you choose to 138 00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:48,920 Speaker 8: target someone like this when it's going to have all 139 00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:51,480 Speaker 8: of this collateral damage on the hiring for the forces, etc. 140 00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:56,800 Speaker 3: Well more so than that, do they really have a 141 00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:59,520 Speaker 3: hope of conviction? Because that's another decision you make when 142 00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:02,800 Speaker 3: you bring charges. Is there a reasonable chance that you're 143 00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:04,960 Speaker 3: going to achieve a conviction in a case? 144 00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:06,800 Speaker 8: Well, from what I've read, no, it's not very high 145 00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:09,080 Speaker 8: at all, Because you know, I hope he has some 146 00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:10,760 Speaker 8: of the best lawyers in the country on his side, 147 00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:12,880 Speaker 8: and to prove something beyond reasonable doubt that occurred in 148 00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:14,480 Speaker 8: twenty ten. I think it's going to be. 149 00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:16,760 Speaker 3: Extremely in a foreign country. In a foreign country, But 150 00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:21,560 Speaker 3: the AFP would say there's a number of witnesses and 151 00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:25,640 Speaker 3: there's people who've given evidence, so we will leave that 152 00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:29,680 Speaker 3: to the courts. Now, let's move on to Labour's proposal 153 00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:33,800 Speaker 3: to overhaul tax settings for property investors. Well, that could 154 00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:37,559 Speaker 3: drive a thirty percent spike in rents over the next 155 00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:40,760 Speaker 3: two years. That's according to a major real estate boss. 156 00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:44,200 Speaker 3: Nathan Birch, the head of property management firm Blink, told 157 00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:47,000 Speaker 3: real estate dot com do AU these changes will scare 158 00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:50,400 Speaker 3: a lot of investors into selling. It's poor timing. It 159 00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:53,280 Speaker 3: would be a massive shock to the market and the 160 00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:58,240 Speaker 3: average tenant would struggle. Nicole Cheam charmers. I've got to 161 00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:02,960 Speaker 3: say the treasure I wonder whether it is economically illiterate. 162 00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:05,440 Speaker 3: He's hinted that there's going to be changes to the 163 00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:11,440 Speaker 3: capital gains tax discount and negative gearing provisions. Are they 164 00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:16,520 Speaker 3: just clueless about the full effects of a change like this, 165 00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:21,120 Speaker 3: or are they so ideologically driven that they don't care. 166 00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:26,200 Speaker 3: They're just so embroiled in the politics of envy and 167 00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:29,200 Speaker 3: the haves and have nots. And despite the fact that 168 00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:32,959 Speaker 3: most property investors are mum and dad investors trying to 169 00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:37,000 Speaker 3: secure their financial future, they're going after that sector. 170 00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:43,839 Speaker 5: Last time I checked, the main group of property investors 171 00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:47,960 Speaker 5: were nurses, teachers, police who had one or two investment 172 00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:50,880 Speaker 5: properties at most ritas. So yep, they're going after mum 173 00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:53,840 Speaker 5: and dad investors again. What really irks me about this, 174 00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:56,800 Speaker 5: though not even nerks me, disgusts me, is that Prime 175 00:09:56,880 --> 00:10:00,560 Speaker 5: Minister Anthony Arbernezi said during the federal election camp there 176 00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:05,040 Speaker 5: will be no changes to capital gains tax. So once 177 00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:09,520 Speaker 5: again we are seeing labor lying. We are seeing labor 178 00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:15,920 Speaker 5: remove confidence from the sector, and we are seeing labor. 179 00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:18,560 Speaker 6: Tax people more. This is what they always do. 180 00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:21,120 Speaker 5: They lied when they said that they wouldn't during the 181 00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:24,280 Speaker 5: previous election campaign, and here they are not even twelve 182 00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:28,280 Speaker 5: months in and going to change the rules once again 183 00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:31,200 Speaker 5: and remove confidence from our property market. 184 00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:37,200 Speaker 3: Adam Nicole makes an excellent point thereabout we just had 185 00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:40,000 Speaker 3: an election not too long ago. This wasn't on the agenda. 186 00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:42,679 Speaker 3: They don't have a mandate to make these sort of changes. 187 00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:45,280 Speaker 3: The last time they took this sort of issue to 188 00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:49,640 Speaker 3: an election, they lost. They lost their unlosable election. And 189 00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:53,319 Speaker 3: now they're talking about it because there's a fuel crisis, 190 00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:57,600 Speaker 3: there's a budget crisis. They're not going to waste this crisis, 191 00:10:57,640 --> 00:10:58,000 Speaker 3: are they. 192 00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:00,840 Speaker 8: No, It certainly not. But look, you said that they're 193 00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:03,000 Speaker 8: ideological driven. I don't even give them that much credit. 194 00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:05,840 Speaker 8: This is all about politics, basically, it's about making a 195 00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:07,800 Speaker 8: change that will not actually have much impact. 196 00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:08,400 Speaker 9: In my view. 197 00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:10,640 Speaker 8: They're going to twiddle with They're going to tweak the 198 00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:13,680 Speaker 8: fifty percent discount. It's not going to raise any money. 199 00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:15,920 Speaker 8: People are just less likely to sell in that case. 200 00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:18,040 Speaker 8: They're just going to hold it on forever, basically passing 201 00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:20,400 Speaker 8: on to their kids. All the studies in the world, 202 00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:23,560 Speaker 8: basically even from Gratton, show that a small change will 203 00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:25,520 Speaker 8: only have a one or two percent effect on prices 204 00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:27,679 Speaker 8: at most, and even then over quite a long period 205 00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:30,080 Speaker 8: of time. So this is just to be seen to 206 00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:32,280 Speaker 8: be doing something. But the irony of that is it's 207 00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:34,240 Speaker 8: going to actually hurt younger people the most. And the 208 00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:37,160 Speaker 8: government's banging on all the time about intergenerational equity. Well 209 00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:39,480 Speaker 8: presumably and almost certainly it's going to be grandfathered. So 210 00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:41,560 Speaker 8: anyone who's already bought is going to be fined sand 211 00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:43,920 Speaker 8: on the fifty percent rate, but anyone new will be 212 00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:46,640 Speaker 8: on say thirty three percent discount or twenty five percent discount, 213 00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:48,720 Speaker 8: so they won't go in. So basically, the younger people 214 00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:50,240 Speaker 8: are going to be hurt, and all of the you know, 215 00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:52,839 Speaker 8: the so called evil boomers and the Gen x's or whatever, 216 00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:54,880 Speaker 8: they're going to be fine with their fifty percent discount. 217 00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:58,600 Speaker 3: You'll be okay, ridden fantastic. That's all I care about. 218 00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:01,280 Speaker 3: Adam Kraut and Nikolf Llene, thanks for your time tonight, 219 00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:05,360 Speaker 3: Thanks Na. A groundbreaking study from Finland has found that 220 00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:09,679 Speaker 3: puberty blockers and hormone treatments deepen troubled kids distressed. A 221 00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:13,120 Speaker 3: study which examined the outcomes for over two thousand patients 222 00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:16,720 Speaker 3: between nineteen ninety six and twenty nineteen, found that there 223 00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:20,360 Speaker 3: was an elevated risk in distress for kids after they 224 00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:24,600 Speaker 3: start gender affirming treatments. Joining me now to discuss this 225 00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:29,000 Speaker 3: further is a Rachel Wong, SEO of Women's Forum Australia. Rachel, 226 00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:33,840 Speaker 3: So we've got Finland here tracking every gender referred adolescent 227 00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:36,480 Speaker 3: in the country for around twenty five years, and the 228 00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:42,000 Speaker 3: study shows that their psychiatric needs didn't improve after gender assignment. 229 00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:44,319 Speaker 3: How significant is this study? 230 00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:47,200 Speaker 10: Hi, Rachel, great to join you. On the one hand, 231 00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:51,559 Speaker 10: this study is incredibly significant because, as you say, every 232 00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:53,640 Speaker 10: gender di stress young person who presented to a gender 233 00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:56,439 Speaker 10: clinic in fine Land over twenty five year period has 234 00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:57,679 Speaker 10: been captured by the study. 235 00:12:58,000 --> 00:12:59,040 Speaker 6: The study provides. 236 00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:01,280 Speaker 10: Damning evidence that not when did these young people present 237 00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:03,679 Speaker 10: with the distress at the outset, but this is stress 238 00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:07,240 Speaker 10: actually increased after they were provided various hormonal and other 239 00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:10,840 Speaker 10: gender of permian interventions. So for females the distress increased 240 00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:14,880 Speaker 10: approximately threefold and for male's fivefold, which is a huge, 241 00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:18,000 Speaker 10: huge increase. And this I think really turns on the 242 00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:21,800 Speaker 10: idea that so called gender affirmin care is needed to 243 00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:25,679 Speaker 10: address distress and suicidality. I would say the study very 244 00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:28,840 Speaker 10: clearly shows that the opposite is true. But I would 245 00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:31,679 Speaker 10: also say that on the other hand, this is information 246 00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:34,240 Speaker 10: that I would say every right thinking person already understood 247 00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:36,640 Speaker 10: to be true. We already understood to be true that 248 00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:39,680 Speaker 10: you know, children and young people are not going to 249 00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:41,160 Speaker 10: be helped by telling them they've been born in the 250 00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:45,520 Speaker 10: wrong body and by giving them irreversible mutilating surgery and hormones. 251 00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:47,880 Speaker 10: And so I think that, on the one hand, a 252 00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:51,000 Speaker 10: various egneficant study, but something that should already be obvious 253 00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:51,680 Speaker 10: to most people. 254 00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:58,199 Speaker 3: Well, will Australian clinics take notice of this study, particularly 255 00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:02,640 Speaker 3: the children's gender clinic? As you said, it's not an 256 00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:06,640 Speaker 3: isolated study. We've seen other reviews and studies that have 257 00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:10,559 Speaker 3: given similar results. Are we going to finally take note 258 00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:13,920 Speaker 3: of this body of research in this Australia. 259 00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:17,400 Speaker 10: Well, creator, I think there was no excuse when the 260 00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:19,960 Speaker 10: Cash Report came out in twenty twenty four, and there 261 00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:24,000 Speaker 10: is certainly no excuse now for Australia to continue along 262 00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:27,240 Speaker 10: this incredibly destructive pathway for gender to stress children and 263 00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:30,040 Speaker 10: young people. I think that they should really start to 264 00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:32,800 Speaker 10: follow the science now, as they like to say, although 265 00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:35,320 Speaker 10: scenes they only usually like to do that when it 266 00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:38,120 Speaker 10: flits their narrative and when it suits them. But I'd 267 00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:39,920 Speaker 10: also say that I don't think that we can trust 268 00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:42,760 Speaker 10: Australian gender clinics to do the right thing. I think 269 00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:44,640 Speaker 10: they've proven that they're not willing to do that, and 270 00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:47,200 Speaker 10: I think that the Prime Minister, that the Health Minister, 271 00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:49,600 Speaker 10: in accordance with the State leaders need to actually step 272 00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:52,080 Speaker 10: in and put an end to the supporing experiment on 273 00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:54,480 Speaker 10: children and young people in this country and to also 274 00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:57,640 Speaker 10: stop the witch hunt of good doctors. We're speaking out 275 00:14:57,840 --> 00:14:59,960 Speaker 10: like doctor Gillian Spencer and doctor Andrew am. 276 00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:05,320 Speaker 3: Now to the ABC's decision to cut ties with activist 277 00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:10,480 Speaker 3: group Acorn, including acon's Pride in Diversity program. This comes 278 00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:13,800 Speaker 3: after the Australian newspaper exposed a string of cases in 279 00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:20,640 Speaker 3: which the broadcaster's independence was compromised by its membership of Acon. Rachel, 280 00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:23,960 Speaker 3: Are we finally going to get some balance reporting on 281 00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:25,920 Speaker 3: this issue from the ABC? 282 00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:29,480 Speaker 10: Okay, I'd love for it to be as simple as that. 283 00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:32,440 Speaker 10: I think this is a huge step, a very welcome step, 284 00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:35,320 Speaker 10: and a step that advocates and others have fought for 285 00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:38,160 Speaker 10: for years to get the ABC out of Acon. But 286 00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:40,720 Speaker 10: the reality is this relationship has been going on for 287 00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:44,760 Speaker 10: some time. They have embedded a framework that really elevates 288 00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:47,440 Speaker 10: gender identity over biological six and this has been very 289 00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:50,720 Speaker 10: clear in the ABC's reporting over many years on women's sex, 290 00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:53,800 Speaker 10: base rights and other issues like youth gender medicine, and 291 00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:56,160 Speaker 10: so I think what's really important now is to is 292 00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:59,560 Speaker 10: the ABC to look internally to see whether or not policies, 293 00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:02,160 Speaker 10: various other training and things need to be updated so 294 00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:05,480 Speaker 10: that the capture that has really plagued them for so 295 00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:10,120 Speaker 10: long with gender idiology is really genuinely rooted out. Otherwise, 296 00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:12,000 Speaker 10: I think what we're going to see is more of 297 00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:13,000 Speaker 10: the same going forward. 298 00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:18,600 Speaker 3: Rachel Wong. We wait, We've baited breadth for the ABC 299 00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:22,160 Speaker 3: to wake up to reality, but we may be waiting 300 00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:25,160 Speaker 3: some time. Rachel Wong, thanks for your time tonight. Thank 301 00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:29,840 Speaker 3: you still to come. Left Ear is Losing It plus 302 00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:33,360 Speaker 3: the latest from the US, including the CEA spy deal 303 00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:37,080 Speaker 3: appearing to fracture within the first twenty four hours. Arm 304 00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:51,160 Speaker 3: Horowitz is up next, You're watching The Reader Paney Show, 305 00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:54,680 Speaker 3: and it's time for Leftie is Losing It Now. We 306 00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:57,960 Speaker 3: have plenty of laughs poking fun at the lunatic left 307 00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:00,760 Speaker 3: on this segment, but let's be honest, some of these 308 00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:05,160 Speaker 3: people are unwell, including this next dude MSNBC ms now 309 00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:08,959 Speaker 3: Anka Lawrence O'Donnell, who had this to say after the 310 00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:13,040 Speaker 3: heroic rescue of a US airmen from hostile Iranian territory. 311 00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:16,840 Speaker 3: Get ready for a dose of supercharge crazy. 312 00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:21,080 Speaker 9: That brilliant rescue was described by the Secretary of Defense 313 00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:24,320 Speaker 9: and by General Dan Kine, the Chairman of the Joint 314 00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:30,440 Speaker 9: Chiefs of Staff, as a longstanding American military rule of 315 00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:32,200 Speaker 9: never leaving anyone behind. 316 00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:36,159 Speaker 7: We leave no man behind. 317 00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:40,760 Speaker 9: That is, of course, the old school version of the 318 00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:46,760 Speaker 9: idea back when only men flew American military planes. General 319 00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:50,080 Speaker 9: Dan Kane, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, 320 00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:54,320 Speaker 9: put it this way. 321 00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:54,879 Speaker 7: We leave no one behind. 322 00:17:56,480 --> 00:18:00,879 Speaker 9: The General knows, unlike Pete Hegsath, that that could have 323 00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:04,320 Speaker 9: been a woman they were trying to rescue, and it 324 00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:05,600 Speaker 9: might be a woman the. 325 00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:10,120 Speaker 3: Next time the man needs help. Let's be honest, professional help. 326 00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:13,760 Speaker 3: Imagine being aggrieved by the term no man left behind 327 00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:17,040 Speaker 3: is assuming that means that you'd leave a woman behind. 328 00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:21,320 Speaker 3: I mean, how heteronormative of lawrence to assume anyone's gender 329 00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:24,400 Speaker 3: and not count that hundreds of other genders the likes 330 00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:28,320 Speaker 3: of him claim exist. The Left has become so demented 331 00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:33,000 Speaker 3: and radical it's becoming increasingly difficult to determine what is 332 00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:37,359 Speaker 3: real and what is parody. Apparently this next clip is real, 333 00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:40,240 Speaker 3: but I have my doubts. Here a young woman speaks 334 00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:42,760 Speaker 3: out about racist lawns. 335 00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:46,840 Speaker 11: I can't stop thinking about how grass lines are racist 336 00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:54,600 Speaker 11: and lake beaston Waite supremacy. If that doesn't make sense, 337 00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:57,840 Speaker 11: that's okay, I guess it seems really obvious to me. 338 00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:05,480 Speaker 11: It's really upsetting.

And this is a 373 00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:20,600 Speaker 3: woman who really really should know better. This is former 374 00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:25,760 Speaker 3: soccer player, the spectacularly arrogant and dumb Meaghan Rapperno, claiming 375 00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:30,439 Speaker 3: that the ioic banning male bodies from women's sport is somehow. 376 00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:35,159 Speaker 12: Hateful transgender day of Visibility.

They've 383 00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:07,200 Speaker 12: announced a new policy that they're calling You can't even 384 00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:10,240 Speaker 12: believe they're coining of this because it has nothing to 385 00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:12,880 Speaker 12: do with protecting women. I feel like two people who 386 00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:17,520 Speaker 12: played at the very highest level for every competition that 387 00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:21,840 Speaker 12: you possibly could don't agree with this and never felt 388 00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:25,159 Speaker 12: like this was an issue at all, the protection of 389 00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:31,240 Speaker 12: the female bracketed women's category. They're limiting people eligible to 390 00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:35,920 Speaker 12: compete in the women's category to those who qualify as 391 00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:39,880 Speaker 12: what they're calling quote unquote biological females. 392 00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:45,080 Speaker 3: Here's a little reality check, Meagan, you would not have 393 00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:48,919 Speaker 3: played at the highest level if biological men identifying as 394 00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:52,360 Speaker 3: women invaded your sport. No one would know who you are, 395 00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:55,720 Speaker 3: and you wouldn't even be important enough to feature on lifties. 396 00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:59,600 Speaker 3: Losing it. The truth is elite female teams have lost 397 00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:04,520 Speaker 3: by massive margins against under fifteen boys, thirteen and fourteen 398 00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:07,840 Speaker 3: year old boys. Our own national team, the Australian national team, 399 00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:11,840 Speaker 3: the Matilda's lost seven nil to the under fifteen boys 400 00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:17,359 Speaker 3: from Newcastle, not even the national under fifteen side. Now, 401 00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:21,160 Speaker 3: in recent weeks we've discussed the comic convoy to Cuba 402 00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:24,840 Speaker 3: led by the likes of Hassan Piker. This streamer has 403 00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:27,960 Speaker 3: become a favorite of the left. Democrat politicians have been 404 00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:32,520 Speaker 3: closing up to this character despite his quite awful track record, 405 00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:36,640 Speaker 3: and that track record has become so egregious that earlier 406 00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:41,200 Speaker 3: today CNN was disgusted enough with his antiques for anchor 407 00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:43,120 Speaker 3: Dana Bash to say. 408 00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:46,479 Speaker 13: This, here's some of what he actually has said about 409 00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:50,280 Speaker 13: the depravity of the October seventh terror attack, the deadliest 410 00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:53,399 Speaker 13: day for the Jewish people since the Holocaust. Quote, it 411 00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:57,040 Speaker 13: doesn't matter if effing rapes happened on October seventh, like 412 00:23:57,160 --> 00:24:03,000 Speaker 13: that doesn't change the dynamic for mean resistance is not perfect. Now, 413 00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:07,120 Speaker 13: let that sink in. Hassan Piker is excusing sexual violence 414 00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:10,960 Speaker 13: by Hamas terrorists. He also claims Hamas is quote a 415 00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:15,840 Speaker 13: thousand times better than Israel. Hamas is a designated terror 416 00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:20,639 Speaker 13: organization not just by the US, but by the EU, Canada, Australia, 417 00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:23,520 Speaker 13: New Zealand, just to name a few. And here's what 418 00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:27,359 Speaker 13: Piker said about the horrors of September eleventh, two thousand 419 00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:27,640 Speaker 13: and one. 420 00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:31,760 Speaker 7: America deserved nine to eleven. 421 00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:35,720 Speaker 14: Dude, I'm saying it, but we totally brought it on ourselves. 422 00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:37,440 Speaker 7: Dude, holy shit, we did. 423 00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:42,639 Speaker 3: We did. Feels like deja vu all over again. Didn't 424 00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:45,480 Speaker 3: I play that exact clip and a few others just 425 00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:49,720 Speaker 3: like it? When I questioned why CNN Dana's network would 426 00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:52,760 Speaker 3: have Hassan Paiker on as a serious guest to talk 427 00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:55,840 Speaker 3: about the evils of the Trump administration, it was only 428 00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:59,600 Speaker 3: a few days ago that CNN gave this creep of. 429 00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:04,320 Speaker 14: Platform, and then I was very angry.

Okay, 497 00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:34,200 Speaker 1: it's crazy how badly Iran has played a very bad hend. 498 00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:38,320 Speaker 1: First of all, they attack their neighbors, the Gulf States, 499 00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:42,360 Speaker 1: pushing the it's incredible, pushing the Gulf States to side 500 00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:46,800 Speaker 1: with Israel, to nearly almost beg Israel in the US 501 00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:51,240 Speaker 1: to continue bombing Iran because of how scared they are 502 00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:55,400 Speaker 1: on the reaction one have to them.

China gets between ten to 508 00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:14,240 Speaker 1: fifteen percent of all their oil from the Straits. And 509 00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:17,560 Speaker 1: talk about you know, cutting your nose off to spite 510 00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:22,280 Speaker 1: your face, Iran, and how badly you've played this. Yeah, 511 00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:26,280 Speaker 1: China buys nearly eighty percent of all your goods, including 512 00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:29,640 Speaker 1: oil and gas, yet you chose to try to freeze 513 00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:30,680 Speaker 1: out one of your partners. 514 00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:32,000 Speaker 7: I mean, it's crazy. 515 00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:34,520 Speaker 1: And by the way, the straight up Homu's reopening, which 516 00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:38,880 Speaker 1: has reopened, is really the only area of leverage that 517 00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:40,320 Speaker 1: Iran has right now. 518 00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:41,719 Speaker 7: They lost that pressure point. 519 00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:44,680 Speaker 1: And I guess now CNN can drop the chiron that 520 00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:48,040 Speaker 1: I saw up all day Rita where it said that 521 00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:51,600 Speaker 1: the gas prices are up one dollar since the start 522 00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:52,080 Speaker 1: of the war. 523 00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:55,240 Speaker 7: I don't know if I saw the same. 524 00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:59,800 Speaker 1: Chiron when get gas prices were up three dollars under 525 00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:02,640 Speaker 1: by night. I think I may have missed that. But look, 526 00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:04,240 Speaker 1: the ceasefire is going to allow a number of things 527 00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:07,680 Speaker 1: to happen. Iron Israel can now focus on Lebanon and 528 00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:11,000 Speaker 1: eradicating them from the issue, and all the dominoes that 529 00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:13,480 Speaker 1: will fall from what's going on here. 530 00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:14,560 Speaker 7: Is absolutely incredible. 531 00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:18,720 Speaker 1: It's going to change the entire region, if not the world, Lebanon, 532 00:30:18,800 --> 00:30:22,640 Speaker 1: the Palestinians, Iraq, it changes it all. So yeah, let's 533 00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:24,840 Speaker 1: see what happens. But I feel like we're going a 534 00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:25,280 Speaker 1: good place. 535 00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:31,120 Speaker 3: Have those broadcasters, I think CNN, perhaps even MS now 536 00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:35,000 Speaker 3: have they dropped those banners about what the ship market 537 00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:37,640 Speaker 3: is doing and what gas prices are doing as soon 538 00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:41,840 Speaker 3: as they started going in the right directions? Is that true? 539 00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:45,520 Speaker 3: Because I'm hearing reports that as soon as the news 540 00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:49,440 Speaker 3: was positive, those scare banners were gone. 541 00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:54,920 Speaker 1: They dropped it as soon I was technically possible, that's right. 542 00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:57,120 Speaker 1: As gas prices plummeted today. 543 00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:02,560 Speaker 3: Well, we've got short in this country where not energy 544 00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:06,320 Speaker 3: independent like the US, and the Wall Street Journal is 545 00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:09,840 Speaker 3: reporting that Iran has told mediators it would limit the 546 00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:13,040 Speaker 3: number of ships transiting through the Strait to about a 547 00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:17,480 Speaker 3: dozen a day as part of this cease fire army. 548 00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:21,160 Speaker 3: That's not going to do much to ease global shortages. 549 00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:23,320 Speaker 3: And as I said, we've got petrol stations in this 550 00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:25,719 Speaker 3: country that have a run out of fuel. 551 00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:27,760 Speaker 7: Yeah. 552 00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:30,280 Speaker 1: No, but it's not about if it's not about the 553 00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:31,680 Speaker 1: snapshot of where we're are. 554 00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:33,680 Speaker 7: It's about where this thing is progressing to. 555 00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:36,840 Speaker 1: And that's a massive change in the Iranian position to 556 00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:39,120 Speaker 1: allow any oil. And again I think this is China 557 00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:42,000 Speaker 1: kind of pressure them to do this. Yeah, look, they're 558 00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:43,520 Speaker 1: limiting it now that are trying to hold on to 559 00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:46,040 Speaker 1: whatever leverage they can. But in reality, I've already given 560 00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:50,400 Speaker 1: up the ghost and they're moving toward total capitulation. 561 00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:54,840 Speaker 3: Now, let's have a look at this ten point plan 562 00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:58,240 Speaker 3: presented by the Iranians and army. I can't see the 563 00:31:58,360 --> 00:32:03,560 Speaker 3: US agreeing to many of these demands. For starters, point three, 564 00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:07,320 Speaker 3: they want the US to accept an Iranian right to 565 00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:11,680 Speaker 3: enrich uranium. Point four calls for the lifting of all 566 00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:17,000 Speaker 3: primary sanctions, and point five lifting of all secondary sanctions. Now, again, 567 00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:21,280 Speaker 3: the Iranians seem to be rather delusional here. The US 568 00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:24,320 Speaker 3: surely isn't going to agree to all of this without 569 00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:27,880 Speaker 3: some fairly seismic changes from the regime. 570 00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:32,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, they had some pretty weird aggressive asks in there, 571 00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:37,360 Speaker 1: including oddly at the iotoleby the hostler and that's golden globes. 572 00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:40,240 Speaker 7: But actually that is problem more likely. 573 00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:44,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, that one's actually more likely leader than the US 574 00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:47,800 Speaker 1: agreeing for let them to continue to rich uranium. Yeah, 575 00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:50,440 Speaker 1: these are a lot of these our non starters. I 576 00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:52,600 Speaker 1: don't know who they think they're negotiating with. I think 577 00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:56,320 Speaker 1: they're still remembering what it's like to negotiat with Trump 578 00:32:56,480 --> 00:32:59,400 Speaker 1: and Biden, Obama and Biden. 579 00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:02,360 Speaker 7: But yeah, I think the difference is the. 580 00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:06,680 Speaker 1: Almost seven hundred and fifty million pounds of bombs that 581 00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:10,000 Speaker 1: Trump dropped on their heads. Maybe it gave them some 582 00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:13,000 Speaker 1: kind of, you know, weird amnesia of who they're dealing 583 00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:13,360 Speaker 1: with here. 584 00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:14,920 Speaker 7: So that's not going to really help them much. 585 00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:17,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, they want you know, one of the things they 586 00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:21,560 Speaker 1: asked for all there was compensation for their damages. I 587 00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:24,280 Speaker 1: think it's more likely that Trump will get them to 588 00:33:24,520 --> 00:33:27,840 Speaker 1: pay him for the for the gas that we've spent 589 00:33:27,920 --> 00:33:31,280 Speaker 1: on our b one bombers, dropping all the ordinances on 590 00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:35,280 Speaker 1: them because gas prices spiked because of them. So yeah, look, 591 00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:38,920 Speaker 1: let's be honest what this really is about. Ultimately they're negotiating, 592 00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:42,640 Speaker 1: I get it, but I think the only way out 593 00:33:42,840 --> 00:33:46,920 Speaker 1: is through and what that really means. Ultimately, I feel 594 00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:49,200 Speaker 1: strongly this is just going to regime change. 595 00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:50,520 Speaker 7: That's the endgame here. 596 00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:54,840 Speaker 3: Well, let's hope so. But that's going to be up 597 00:33:54,880 --> 00:34:00,400 Speaker 3: to the Iranian people. And they've been battered after what 598 00:34:00,520 --> 00:34:03,680 Speaker 3: happened in January, tens of thousands of them slaughtered by 599 00:34:03,680 --> 00:34:08,600 Speaker 3: the regime for protesting for their freedom. So remains to 600 00:34:08,640 --> 00:34:11,200 Speaker 3: be seen whether they'll take to the streets and demand 601 00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:15,360 Speaker 3: regime change again. Now let's talk about Kiir Starma, the 602 00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:19,000 Speaker 3: British Prime Ministers, being widely mocked for trying to take 603 00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:22,319 Speaker 3: credit or pretending he had anything to do with this 604 00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:23,439 Speaker 3: Ceaspire deal. 605 00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:27,560 Speaker 15: What is the purpose of your visit here in the Gulf. 606 00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:29,560 Speaker 3: What kind of influence do you think you can have. 607 00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:33,279 Speaker 8: Well, we've just reached this Cea spire, which is both 608 00:34:33,320 --> 00:34:35,120 Speaker 8: welcome and I think there'll be a sense of real 609 00:34:35,160 --> 00:34:38,000 Speaker 8: relief that certainly is across the region and for the 610 00:34:38,080 --> 00:34:38,840 Speaker 8: United Kingdom. 611 00:34:39,080 --> 00:34:40,799 Speaker 11: But there's work to do. 612 00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:47,520 Speaker 3: We reached this Seaspire Army kissed Starma there in Saudi 613 00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:51,279 Speaker 3: Arabia talking about the Sea Spied deal that he had 614 00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:53,920 Speaker 3: nothing at all to do with, He had no part 615 00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:57,839 Speaker 3: in brokering it. He had nothing at all to do 616 00:34:57,920 --> 00:35:01,440 Speaker 3: with the detail. If I'm wrong, Army, but didn't you 617 00:35:01,520 --> 00:35:03,600 Speaker 3: find out about it at the same time as the 618 00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:04,040 Speaker 3: rest of. 619 00:35:04,040 --> 00:35:08,680 Speaker 1: Us In the immortal words of Tanto, What do you 620 00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:13,799 Speaker 1: mean we white man? Yeah, Kiir Starmer, you had, bro, 621 00:35:14,239 --> 00:35:16,319 Speaker 1: you had nothing to do with this. This is Kiir 622 00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:20,080 Speaker 1: Starmer who said repeatedly this is not our war. This 623 00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:23,800 Speaker 1: is the Kia Starmer who said that you, the US 624 00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:27,960 Speaker 1: cannot use our basis to free the Iranian people. 625 00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:29,440 Speaker 7: This is the Kias Starmer didn't. 626 00:35:29,239 --> 00:35:32,279 Speaker 1: Lift a finger to help the US and said that 627 00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:36,880 Speaker 1: we can't have a gen change through bombing. Yeah, Kis Starmer, 628 00:35:37,080 --> 00:35:38,680 Speaker 1: thanks a lot, but we don't need your help, bro. 629 00:35:40,920 --> 00:35:44,279 Speaker 3: Now Trump has lashed out at NATO again. He said 630 00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:47,680 Speaker 3: NATO members had actually gone out of their way not 631 00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:50,160 Speaker 3: to help with the conflict in Iran, and he said 632 00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:54,000 Speaker 3: the Alliance is a paper tiger that Russian President Vladimir 633 00:35:54,080 --> 00:35:58,120 Speaker 3: Putin is not afraid of. And he posted this earlier today. 634 00:35:58,360 --> 00:35:58,600 Speaker 7: Army. 635 00:35:58,640 --> 00:36:01,879 Speaker 3: He said NATO wasn't there when we needed them, and 636 00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:05,439 Speaker 3: they won't be there if we need them again. Tell 637 00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:08,600 Speaker 3: me about the meeting he had with the NATO Secretary 638 00:36:08,719 --> 00:36:10,920 Speaker 3: General of the Wide House and imagine that would have 639 00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:12,479 Speaker 3: been a fairly tense meeting Army. 640 00:36:14,120 --> 00:36:18,319 Speaker 1: Yeah, well, Route is a big fan of Trump right 641 00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:20,200 Speaker 1: famously call them daddy. 642 00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:23,240 Speaker 7: Route is actually been defender of NATO. 643 00:36:24,080 --> 00:36:26,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't think that means actually particularly tense. I 644 00:36:26,640 --> 00:36:29,240 Speaker 1: gotta be honest. I think that Route kind of agreed 645 00:36:29,280 --> 00:36:32,000 Speaker 1: with most of what Trump was saying, So. 646 00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:32,840 Speaker 7: I think they're cool. 647 00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:35,960 Speaker 1: I think that the larger issue here is the way 648 00:36:36,040 --> 00:36:37,640 Speaker 1: Trump deals with NATO in general. 649 00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:38,839 Speaker 7: And I can't look. 650 00:36:38,880 --> 00:36:41,839 Speaker 1: You know, I will take a victory lap when I'm right, 651 00:36:41,920 --> 00:36:44,280 Speaker 1: and I will do me a couple when I am wrong. 652 00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:46,759 Speaker 1: And I have been wrong a number of times with 653 00:36:46,840 --> 00:36:49,759 Speaker 1: Trump and kitin NATO. I remember saying, me and Frank 654 00:36:49,840 --> 00:36:51,160 Speaker 1: and you know the rest of the world was saying, 655 00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:53,520 Speaker 1: I can't believe he keeps saying you want to leave NATO, 656 00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:58,000 Speaker 1: drop out of NATO. It's Look, it's Trump's way of negotiating, 657 00:36:58,160 --> 00:37:03,320 Speaker 1: and boy is he right. In twenty seventeen, okay, nearly 658 00:37:03,520 --> 00:37:06,960 Speaker 1: none of the NATO countries were paying their fair share 659 00:37:07,320 --> 00:37:10,160 Speaker 1: of their GDP to the military that they contractually were 660 00:37:10,200 --> 00:37:14,680 Speaker 1: obligated to do. And during Trump's first administration. He got 661 00:37:14,719 --> 00:37:17,440 Speaker 1: nearly all of them to pay up, and that was 662 00:37:17,520 --> 00:37:20,040 Speaker 1: because the leverage he put on them was saying, we're 663 00:37:20,040 --> 00:37:22,400 Speaker 1: going to drop at new This is all part of 664 00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:25,400 Speaker 1: Trump's master plan to get NATO to do what it 665 00:37:25,440 --> 00:37:28,080 Speaker 1: has to do and get them in line for this 666 00:37:28,200 --> 00:37:31,760 Speaker 1: new rule order that we're seeing Trump initiate across the globe. 667 00:37:33,640 --> 00:37:36,759 Speaker 3: Well, this is what's incredible about the way Trump has 668 00:37:36,760 --> 00:37:41,879 Speaker 3: handled this conflict. I'm continuously shocked at me that no 669 00:37:41,920 --> 00:37:46,400 Speaker 3: one is waking up to his strategy. He does the 670 00:37:46,440 --> 00:37:50,240 Speaker 3: same thing pretty much every time. It's the same cycle 671 00:37:50,320 --> 00:37:53,640 Speaker 3: that he goes sorry to get to the desired end results, 672 00:37:53,719 --> 00:37:57,640 Speaker 3: and yet we have this mass hysteria every time he 673 00:37:57,719 --> 00:38:02,840 Speaker 3: becomes antagonistic, every time he makes these wild claims about 674 00:38:03,280 --> 00:38:07,520 Speaker 3: wiping out of civilization or whatever the cases during each negotiation. 675 00:38:09,360 --> 00:38:12,400 Speaker 3: Is the media awake now to what he's doing. Is 676 00:38:12,440 --> 00:38:16,000 Speaker 3: this just all them buying into the hysteria because it's 677 00:38:16,040 --> 00:38:19,640 Speaker 3: a good story. Are they genuinely in shock each time? 678 00:38:19,960 --> 00:38:22,680 Speaker 3: Like they have selective amnesia. 679 00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:26,960 Speaker 1: He is the goat of trolls, the greatest of all times, 680 00:38:27,360 --> 00:38:31,320 Speaker 1: and they still don't know they're being trolled. It's absolute 681 00:38:31,480 --> 00:38:33,960 Speaker 1: How does people have a job in media if they 682 00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:38,919 Speaker 1: are so gollible and fall into his trap every single time. 683 00:38:40,880 --> 00:38:43,640 Speaker 3: It's incredible, it really is. Now we've spoken about the 684 00:38:43,719 --> 00:38:48,040 Speaker 3: left wing bias of Apple News, well Google is almost 685 00:38:48,080 --> 00:38:52,640 Speaker 3: as bad. And the war against Iran is a good 686 00:38:54,360 --> 00:38:57,040 Speaker 3: sign of how they present the news. Let's have a 687 00:38:57,040 --> 00:38:59,439 Speaker 3: look at this of the one hundred and eighty nine 688 00:38:59,640 --> 00:39:03,560 Speaker 3: article it has promoted on this conflict. One hundred and 689 00:39:03,600 --> 00:39:08,480 Speaker 3: eighty three army. We're from left leaning sources. That's according 690 00:39:08,520 --> 00:39:11,920 Speaker 3: to the Media Research Center, And I think that helps 691 00:39:12,040 --> 00:39:16,120 Speaker 3: paint a picture of why so many people are buying 692 00:39:16,160 --> 00:39:19,319 Speaker 3: into the media hysteria, certainly in this country where they 693 00:39:19,360 --> 00:39:23,440 Speaker 3: think it's just chaos and the Trump administration is just 694 00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:27,560 Speaker 3: blindly going to this conflict not knowing what it's doing, 695 00:39:27,640 --> 00:39:32,120 Speaker 3: without understanding there's a strategy behind all this, there is 696 00:39:32,160 --> 00:39:35,680 Speaker 3: an end goal that is that the administration is trying 697 00:39:35,680 --> 00:39:36,200 Speaker 3: to achieve. 698 00:39:37,760 --> 00:39:41,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, it really is incredible to me. Look, the bias 699 00:39:41,719 --> 00:39:43,640 Speaker 1: is not shocking, right, if the bias is what we've 700 00:39:43,640 --> 00:39:46,439 Speaker 1: seen much about this war, but anything when it comes 701 00:39:46,440 --> 00:39:49,200 Speaker 1: to conservative versus liberals and becomes to social media, right, 702 00:39:49,239 --> 00:39:52,480 Speaker 1: everybody in our business, your company, my business, everyone I 703 00:39:52,520 --> 00:39:56,359 Speaker 1: know I deal with has faced bias across social media, 704 00:39:56,400 --> 00:40:00,799 Speaker 1: particularly Google and YouTube, but certainly other ones as well. 705 00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:03,640 Speaker 7: But it just confounds me. 706 00:40:03,840 --> 00:40:08,960 Speaker 1: That this is where the Democrats, even mainstream Democrats, people 707 00:40:08,920 --> 00:40:11,479 Speaker 1: will have a lot of some you know, some true 708 00:40:11,520 --> 00:40:15,239 Speaker 1: men as a matter of respect for that, they have 709 00:40:15,360 --> 00:40:20,080 Speaker 1: come out so staunchly against this war, the freeing. They're 710 00:40:20,160 --> 00:40:23,680 Speaker 1: coming against a war that is freeing the Iranian people 711 00:40:23,760 --> 00:40:27,560 Speaker 1: from one of the most brutal, evil regimes on planet Earth. 712 00:40:27,680 --> 00:40:30,960 Speaker 1: I don't get who they're aligning themselves with. It doesn't 713 00:40:30,960 --> 00:40:33,000 Speaker 1: make sense to me. I'm not talking about the far 714 00:40:33,160 --> 00:40:36,560 Speaker 1: less Democrats that asan pikers and the shad Telaibs. I'm 715 00:40:36,600 --> 00:40:41,960 Speaker 1: talking about the mainstream Democrats who cannot support Trump. It 716 00:40:42,040 --> 00:40:45,200 Speaker 1: just shows you the reality and the truth of Trump 717 00:40:45,280 --> 00:40:48,520 Speaker 1: the arrangement syndrome that even this the freeing of the 718 00:40:48,520 --> 00:40:52,360 Speaker 1: Iranian people against this evil regime, something they cannot support, 719 00:40:52,560 --> 00:40:54,920 Speaker 1: and they are They're not even like equivocating. 720 00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:57,120 Speaker 7: There are against it full stop. 721 00:40:59,200 --> 00:41:01,160 Speaker 3: Amy, how are we?

Meghan Markle's 727 00:41:28,320 --> 00:41:32,520 Speaker 3: latest move to trademark her lifestyle brand as ever here 728 00:41:32,520 --> 00:41:36,040 Speaker 3: in Australia, has cast outs over the brand success in America. 729 00:41:36,200 --> 00:41:40,919 Speaker 3: Celebrity pr specialist Kaylee Cornearly is tot page six where 730 00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:44,880 Speaker 3: reports on Netflix's pulled back as an investor. That will 731 00:41:44,920 --> 00:41:48,319 Speaker 3: likely slow down any plans to scale the business domestically, 732 00:41:48,719 --> 00:41:52,120 Speaker 3: particularly when it comes to launching new products or expanding 733 00:41:52,160 --> 00:41:55,840 Speaker 3: the brand in a meaningful way. She also added, in 734 00:41:55,880 --> 00:41:59,520 Speaker 3: that context, branching out into a new market starts to 735 00:41:59,560 --> 00:42:03,440 Speaker 3: feel less like a choice and more like necessity to 736 00:42:03,520 --> 00:42:07,640 Speaker 3: avoid the brand stagnating. Joining me now is host of 737 00:42:07,680 --> 00:42:12,799 Speaker 3: the Kinsey Schofield Unfiltered podcast, Kinsey Schofield. Can I say 738 00:42:13,600 --> 00:42:18,080 Speaker 3: please keep Megan Markle with you. We've got enough painful 739 00:42:18,200 --> 00:42:20,960 Speaker 3: influences in this country. We don't need to add another one. 740 00:42:22,160 --> 00:42:25,360 Speaker 16: You know, going from cable TV actress to a duchess 741 00:42:25,520 --> 00:42:28,000 Speaker 16: should be the fairy tale ending. That's a once in 742 00:42:28,040 --> 00:42:31,880 Speaker 16: a lifetime promotion, But somehow the trajectory reversed. 743 00:42:32,400 --> 00:42:33,880 Speaker 3: I mean, we were looking. 744 00:42:33,640 --> 00:42:36,520 Speaker 16: At a woman who's using her royal title to turn 745 00:42:36,560 --> 00:42:40,400 Speaker 16: it into influencer marketing, meet and greets and selfies on 746 00:42:40,480 --> 00:42:45,360 Speaker 16: the dollar. That's not evolution, that's like moonwalking. She's going backwards. 747 00:42:45,360 --> 00:42:48,720 Speaker 16: And honestly, I'm surprised the Estate of Michael Jackson hasn't 748 00:42:48,760 --> 00:42:53,080 Speaker 16: sent a season assist because the fall is dramatic. 749 00:42:54,840 --> 00:42:58,800 Speaker 3: It is quite a force. The adoration she enjoyed early 750 00:42:58,880 --> 00:43:01,200 Speaker 3: on people forget that. I'm gonna tell you in this 751 00:43:01,320 --> 00:43:04,680 Speaker 3: country it was enormous, as it was in the UK 752 00:43:04,800 --> 00:43:08,520 Speaker 3: in the early days. Now, comedian Nikki Glazer has confessed 753 00:43:08,640 --> 00:43:12,400 Speaker 3: on the Call Her Daddy podcast that she enjoys it 754 00:43:12,440 --> 00:43:15,719 Speaker 3: when her boyfriend cheats on her when he hooks up 755 00:43:15,760 --> 00:43:17,799 Speaker 3: with other women. Have a listened to this. 756 00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:20,920 Speaker 15: I don't care if a guy has a sexual connection 757 00:43:20,960 --> 00:43:22,920 Speaker 15: with a girl and like he was to use protection 758 00:43:23,040 --> 00:43:24,480 Speaker 15: and just have sex with her for a night, Like 759 00:43:24,600 --> 00:43:28,000 Speaker 15: I don't. I literally wouldn't care if my husband did that, don't. 760 00:43:28,040 --> 00:43:30,320 Speaker 15: I don't know why, Kinsey. 761 00:43:30,440 --> 00:43:33,920 Speaker 3: She went on to say a lot of other weird stuff, 762 00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:37,080 Speaker 3: sort of pick me stuff. I would say, she's certainly 763 00:43:37,160 --> 00:43:40,439 Speaker 3: a funny, funny girl, but I get a feeling she's 764 00:43:40,440 --> 00:43:41,400 Speaker 3: a little bit troubled. 765 00:43:42,840 --> 00:43:45,440 Speaker 16: I mean maybe or is this just the podcast you 766 00:43:45,520 --> 00:43:48,440 Speaker 16: hit up to put your complete lack of morals and 767 00:43:48,520 --> 00:43:53,360 Speaker 16: values on display? Because remember when Justin Trudeau's current girlfriend 768 00:43:53,480 --> 00:43:56,799 Speaker 16: Katie Perry revealed that a clean kitchen or having the 769 00:43:56,880 --> 00:43:59,759 Speaker 16: dishes done by Orlando Bloom was a major turn on. 770 00:44:00,280 --> 00:44:02,480 Speaker 16: She said something like if I come downstairs in the 771 00:44:02,560 --> 00:44:04,600 Speaker 16: kitchen is clean, and I'm not going to finish that 772 00:44:04,719 --> 00:44:07,200 Speaker 16: sentence because this is a family show, but it rhymes 773 00:44:07,200 --> 00:44:08,839 Speaker 16: where he gets a nose job. 774 00:44:09,440 --> 00:44:10,479 Speaker 7: Or when forty nine. 775 00:44:10,440 --> 00:44:13,160 Speaker 16: Year old show leased their own admitted that she recently 776 00:44:13,200 --> 00:44:15,839 Speaker 16: had an amazing one night stand when a twenty six 777 00:44:15,920 --> 00:44:18,680 Speaker 16: year old man change the name of the podcast to 778 00:44:18,800 --> 00:44:22,840 Speaker 16: Golden Girls Getting Some I for one, am not prepared 779 00:44:22,920 --> 00:44:24,560 Speaker 16: for the stories that come out of the Call Her 780 00:44:24,640 --> 00:44:25,960 Speaker 16: Daddy podcast. 781 00:44:27,080 --> 00:44:29,600 Speaker 3: Oh, Kamala gave us nothing like that when she went 782 00:44:29,640 --> 00:44:32,279 Speaker 3: on that podcast. I mean that was really quite disappointing. 783 00:44:32,320 --> 00:44:34,920 Speaker 3: Maybe if she had, people would have taken notice of 784 00:44:34,920 --> 00:44:37,040 Speaker 3: that interview because they spent a lot of money getting 785 00:44:37,080 --> 00:44:41,279 Speaker 3: her to do that podcast. Now, some embarrassing news for 786 00:44:41,400 --> 00:44:44,319 Speaker 3: CNN actor Michael J. Fox has had to confirm that 787 00:44:44,400 --> 00:44:48,960 Speaker 3: he is in fact alive after the news publication posted 788 00:44:49,000 --> 00:44:53,440 Speaker 3: this article remembering the life of actor Michael J. Fox. 789 00:44:53,480 --> 00:44:56,000 Speaker 3: A member of Fox's team had to reach out to 790 00:44:56,120 --> 00:44:59,520 Speaker 3: TMZ to confirm that the actor is doing well. They said, 791 00:44:59,600 --> 00:45:03,640 Speaker 3: Michael is doing great. He was at Pailey Fest yesterday. 792 00:45:03,719 --> 00:45:07,759 Speaker 3: He was on stage giving interviews. Kinsey, more fake news 793 00:45:07,800 --> 00:45:08,440 Speaker 3: from CNN. 794 00:45:08,480 --> 00:45:12,440 Speaker 16: It seems CNN used to be the place where Americans 795 00:45:12,560 --> 00:45:16,080 Speaker 16: turned for facts, but since like twenty sixteen or even 796 00:45:16,200 --> 00:45:18,719 Speaker 16: before that, a lot of viewers believe the network has 797 00:45:18,760 --> 00:45:22,239 Speaker 16: been more interested in pushing a narrative, add in embarrassing 798 00:45:22,280 --> 00:45:26,160 Speaker 16: mistakes like falsely reporting the death of Michael G. Fox, 799 00:45:26,239 --> 00:45:28,960 Speaker 16: and every error tips away. It's at what's left of 800 00:45:29,000 --> 00:45:34,839 Speaker 16: this network's credibility. This is so humiliating for them now. 801 00:45:35,000 --> 00:45:38,160 Speaker 3: Rap star Kanye West made an appearance at an LA 802 00:45:38,360 --> 00:45:41,480 Speaker 3: comedy club yesterday, just hours after being hit with a 803 00:45:41,680 --> 00:45:44,960 Speaker 3: UK travel ban, and that travel ban has led to 804 00:45:45,000 --> 00:45:49,640 Speaker 3: the festival he was meant to headline being canceled altogether. Kinsey, 805 00:45:49,640 --> 00:45:52,279 Speaker 3: tell me, what are folks in the US making of 806 00:45:52,280 --> 00:45:53,760 Speaker 3: this UK decision? 807 00:45:55,239 --> 00:45:58,200 Speaker 16: I think that Kanye West remains on than ice with 808 00:45:58,320 --> 00:46:00,480 Speaker 16: Americans too. It's going to take more more than an 809 00:46:00,520 --> 00:46:03,360 Speaker 16: ad in a trade magazine and an apology for people 810 00:46:03,400 --> 00:46:06,160 Speaker 16: to forgive his past words and actions. But I think 811 00:46:06,239 --> 00:46:10,359 Speaker 16: many people recognize Americans, they should say, recognize this as 812 00:46:10,400 --> 00:46:14,760 Speaker 16: a public relations opportunity for a very weak looking Prime Minister. 813 00:46:15,320 --> 00:46:18,840 Speaker 16: Kier Starmer appears eager to take a stand against Kanye, 814 00:46:19,000 --> 00:46:22,160 Speaker 16: and you know what, Holding celebrities accountable is easy. Addressing 815 00:46:22,200 --> 00:46:25,879 Speaker 16: the antisemitic protests happening in London week after week as 816 00:46:25,920 --> 00:46:29,640 Speaker 16: apparently harder for him. That contrast is why some people 817 00:46:29,680 --> 00:46:33,920 Speaker 16: see this more as symbolism, I guess, than substance. I 818 00:46:34,040 --> 00:46:36,759 Speaker 16: call it virtue signaling. I'm just not buying this sincerity 819 00:46:36,800 --> 00:46:37,200 Speaker 16: from Kure. 820 00:46:39,320 --> 00:46:43,359 Speaker 3: Now, the woman who sold the fatal dose of ketamine 821 00:46:43,440 --> 00:46:47,600 Speaker 3: to friends Matthew Perry has been sentenced to fifteen years 822 00:46:47,640 --> 00:46:52,360 Speaker 3: in prison. Jasmine Sanga, also known as the Kettymine Queen 823 00:46:53,000 --> 00:46:56,440 Speaker 3: among her customers, pled guilty to five charges relating to 824 00:46:56,520 --> 00:47:01,640 Speaker 3: Perry's fatal overdose in October twenty twenty five. Three. Wow, 825 00:47:02,600 --> 00:47:05,480 Speaker 3: what else can you tell me about this fifteen year sentence? 826 00:47:06,440 --> 00:47:08,400 Speaker 16: Well, I could tell you. In court she acknowledged what 827 00:47:08,520 --> 00:47:12,360 Speaker 16: she called her poor choices and horrible decisions, telling the 828 00:47:12,440 --> 00:47:16,080 Speaker 16: judge she prays for forgiveness every day, and then I 829 00:47:16,080 --> 00:47:19,200 Speaker 16: thought it was very compelling. Outside of the courthouse. Keith Morrison, 830 00:47:19,560 --> 00:47:22,799 Speaker 16: Matthew Perry's stepfather. He praised the judge for delivering a 831 00:47:22,920 --> 00:47:27,160 Speaker 16: highly reasoned sentence. He said, you know, we miss Matthew dreadfully, 832 00:47:27,200 --> 00:47:29,080 Speaker 16: of course, but I also thought it was important that 833 00:47:29,120 --> 00:47:31,319 Speaker 16: he said, I feel badly for the family of the 834 00:47:31,360 --> 00:47:35,200 Speaker 16: perpetrator as well. Nobody won today, So I thought a 835 00:47:35,239 --> 00:47:38,439 Speaker 16: lot of empathy and compassion coming from Perry's family. 836 00:47:39,800 --> 00:47:44,279 Speaker 3: But a serious sentence there. Fifteen years now, we brought 837 00:47:44,400 --> 00:47:49,120 Speaker 3: you the story last week of Tilsea star Chili apologizing 838 00:47:49,440 --> 00:47:52,799 Speaker 3: to her fans and saying I'm not mag after it 839 00:47:52,840 --> 00:47:55,560 Speaker 3: was revealed she had donated money to the Trump campaign. 840 00:47:56,239 --> 00:47:59,359 Speaker 3: Now they're still going after there's now new reports that 841 00:47:59,560 --> 00:48:03,120 Speaker 3: Chile voted for the Republican Party from twenty sixty to 842 00:48:03,160 --> 00:48:06,800 Speaker 3: twenty twenty four in both primaries and the general election. 843 00:48:06,920 --> 00:48:10,560 Speaker 3: KINSI I couldn't believe she apologized. I mean, why can't 844 00:48:10,600 --> 00:48:13,200 Speaker 3: she be a little bit more like NICKI Minaj own 845 00:48:13,320 --> 00:48:18,080 Speaker 3: this and not I don't know, taking knee to the bullies. 846 00:48:19,160 --> 00:48:19,359 Speaker 7: Yeah. 847 00:48:19,400 --> 00:48:21,719 Speaker 16: Look, I don't want to get her in trouble or 848 00:48:21,760 --> 00:48:24,640 Speaker 16: call her out, but we have mutual friends, and I 849 00:48:24,719 --> 00:48:28,359 Speaker 16: know she does have some conservative values. She is genuinely 850 00:48:28,440 --> 00:48:32,839 Speaker 16: a sweet girl that unfortunately is fearful of alienation over 851 00:48:32,880 --> 00:48:36,400 Speaker 16: her political affiliation. You know, she has seen a resurgence 852 00:48:36,440 --> 00:48:39,200 Speaker 16: in her career thanks to her relationship with Matthew Lawrence, 853 00:48:39,239 --> 00:48:42,360 Speaker 16: and she feels she's jeopardized that. But perhaps if she 854 00:48:42,440 --> 00:48:44,920 Speaker 16: were a little more confident and clear in her beliefs, 855 00:48:44,960 --> 00:48:48,200 Speaker 16: she would attract a much more loyal and fierce fan base. 856 00:48:48,239 --> 00:48:51,759 Speaker 16: I'm sorry, you know, I feel sorry for her. Yeah, 857 00:48:52,360 --> 00:48:53,120 Speaker 16: I think that it's a. 858 00:48:53,160 --> 00:48:58,160 Speaker 3: Difficult I get it. There's a real, real McCarthyism in 859 00:48:58,200 --> 00:49:01,560 Speaker 3: the entertainment industry, a real one. And if you are 860 00:49:02,000 --> 00:49:05,600 Speaker 3: not of the left, if you are in any way conservative, 861 00:49:05,719 --> 00:49:08,880 Speaker 3: you will be blacklisted, you will have your career impacted. 862 00:49:08,960 --> 00:49:12,319 Speaker 3: So I get it. But you know, courage is contagious, 863 00:49:12,360 --> 00:49:14,759 Speaker 3: and sometimes you need to show a little courage now 864 00:49:14,800 --> 00:49:18,759 Speaker 3: before you go. Reports that Microsoft boss Bill Gates is 865 00:49:18,800 --> 00:49:22,839 Speaker 3: said to testify before US Congress on June tenth as 866 00:49:22,880 --> 00:49:27,319 Speaker 3: part of their investigation into convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein 867 00:49:27,800 --> 00:49:30,480 Speaker 3: Kinsey's is a major development in the story. Do you 868 00:49:30,480 --> 00:49:34,960 Speaker 3: think Bill Gates will be an open book in this hearing. 869 00:49:36,480 --> 00:49:38,480 Speaker 16: I think this is likely going to play out similar 870 00:49:38,520 --> 00:49:40,840 Speaker 16: to the Clinton testimony, where we get access to the 871 00:49:40,880 --> 00:49:43,400 Speaker 16: material after the fact. I suspect Bill Gates will be 872 00:49:43,520 --> 00:49:47,320 Speaker 16: highly choreographed in his delivery, unlike Bill Clinton, who seemed 873 00:49:47,360 --> 00:49:52,160 Speaker 16: almost giddy while looking through old photos and reminiscing. But 874 00:49:53,040 --> 00:49:55,440 Speaker 16: you know, I don't have high hopes for Bill Gates. 875 00:49:55,480 --> 00:49:58,360 Speaker 16: You saw that interview he gave in Australia, very composed, 876 00:49:58,520 --> 00:50:01,359 Speaker 16: very scripted, and I. 877 00:50:01,320 --> 00:50:03,759 Speaker 3: Think it will be so well rehearsed. I think he 878 00:50:03,840 --> 00:50:07,640 Speaker 3: is going to be drilled and drilled hard by his 879 00:50:07,840 --> 00:50:11,000 Speaker 3: media people, so there will be no surprises. He'll know 880 00:50:11,080 --> 00:50:14,120 Speaker 3: what questions are coming and he'll have some very well 881 00:50:14,160 --> 00:50:18,720 Speaker 3: scripted answers that possibly don't say much at all. Kinsiscofield, 882 00:50:18,719 --> 00:50:21,600 Speaker 3: thank you so much for your time tonight, and that's 883 00:50:21,719 --> 00:50:25,080 Speaker 3: all the time we have. Don't go anywhere. Newsnight is 884 00:50:25,160 --> 00:50:25,680 Speaker 3: up next
