Sitting down 15 00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:55,720 Speaker 1: on an episode of the but Tutor Talks podcast, Pennywong 16 00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:59,160 Speaker 1: said Australians in the future will be dumbfounded to know 17 00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:02,200 Speaker 1: that they vote against such an important issue. 18 00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:04,120 Speaker 4: Look, I think we'll look back on it in ten 19 00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:06,440 Speaker 4: years time and it'll be a bit like marriage equality. 20 00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:09,480 Speaker 4: Don't you reckon? Like I always just say marriage equality, 21 00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:12,600 Speaker 4: which took us such a bloody fight to get that done. 22 00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:16,240 Speaker 4: And I thought, all this fuss, it'll become something to 23 00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:18,760 Speaker 4: be like people go, do we have an argument about that? 24 00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:22,199 Speaker 4: They weren't even like kids today any even adults today 25 00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:25,120 Speaker 4: barely kind of clock that it used to be an issue. 26 00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:28,040 Speaker 5: Joining me now four more on this is our panel. 27 00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:32,319 Speaker 1: Sky News contributors pro McSween and Tina McQueen ladies. The 28 00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:35,080 Speaker 1: Australian people voted sixty. 29 00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:37,520 Speaker 5: To forty No. It was a landslide. 30 00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:41,560 Speaker 1: Every state voted no, despite the No camp having a 31 00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:45,120 Speaker 1: fraction of the money of the Yes camp to campaign 32 00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:49,320 Speaker 1: pre I'll start with you, why is the Albanezy government 33 00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:53,480 Speaker 1: trying to re litigate this issue? 34 00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:57,240 Speaker 6: Because they have no respect for the Australian people. They 35 00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:01,240 Speaker 6: have their own agenda and they're in ten on delivering it. 36 00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:06,000 Speaker 6: And you know the hypocrisy of this woman who opposed 37 00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:13,000 Speaker 6: the initial marriage equality bill or proposal by the Greens. 38 00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:13,560 Speaker 7: In twenty ten. 39 00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:18,160 Speaker 6: Is using that as an example of how people change 40 00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:20,760 Speaker 6: their mind. Well, she certainly changed their mind, didn't she. 41 00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:25,600 Speaker 6: But the fact that they've got in their budget, you know, 42 00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:30,880 Speaker 6: an allocation of money for the truth telling and the treaty. 43 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:34,080 Speaker 6: We know the macarata is. They're on the agenda and 44 00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:37,160 Speaker 6: they're going to force it through and they don't care 45 00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:40,639 Speaker 6: because they're so cocky now they think that they can 46 00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:42,120 Speaker 6: inflict anything they like. 47 00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:43,960 Speaker 7: On the Australian people and we'll copy it. 48 00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:47,600 Speaker 6: And frankly, if they get in on May three, we 49 00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:48,560 Speaker 6: are copying it. 50 00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:55,240 Speaker 1: Well, Tina, perhaps the Coalition would have campaigned on this issue, 51 00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:58,960 Speaker 1: campaign on the fact that we had this expensive, divisive 52 00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:03,040 Speaker 1: voice or referee and put the notion out there that 53 00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:05,480 Speaker 1: they're going to try this again, because what we heard 54 00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:09,079 Speaker 1: there from Penny Wong is clear evidence that Labor has 55 00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:12,400 Speaker 1: not accepted or has any respect for the will of 56 00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:13,760 Speaker 1: the Australian people. 57 00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:16,080 Speaker 8: No respect at all retail. 58 00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:19,079 Speaker 9: Look, I'm in absolute disbelief that the Coalition hasn't got 59 00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:21,760 Speaker 9: hard on this. I mean, we had a wonderful win 60 00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:25,280 Speaker 9: with the Voice under circumstances that didn't favor us at all, 61 00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:29,519 Speaker 9: just Enter Price single handedly. I just can't believe we've 62 00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:33,160 Speaker 9: ignored this issue. And everyone knows that Albanezi can be 63 00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:36,400 Speaker 9: a little bit vindictive, hates to lose, and if they 64 00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:39,160 Speaker 9: do form government on May third, I can promise you 65 00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:41,520 Speaker 9: in the first couple of weeks that will reintroduce this. 66 00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:43,840 Speaker 8: They'll have no respect for the voice vote. 67 00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:47,240 Speaker 9: I'm in shock that we haven't just campaigned on this 68 00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:49,440 Speaker 9: hard the last few weeks. 69 00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:56,120 Speaker 1: Absolutely, Labor are running another medi scare campaign. They're the 70 00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:59,560 Speaker 1: ones running the scare campaigns though they are in power, 71 00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:03,120 Speaker 1: and the coalition seems to have been reluctant to go 72 00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:07,600 Speaker 1: negative to actually point out this isn't just a scare campaign. 73 00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:09,280 Speaker 5: This is a real possibility. 74 00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:12,280 Speaker 1: This is what they did last time around, and they 75 00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:15,560 Speaker 1: haven't accepted the umpire's decision. They're pushing ahead with this 76 00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:20,159 Speaker 1: race agenda and if they're in coalition with the Greens, 77 00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:24,320 Speaker 1: then watch out. Now let's talk about Simon Holmes Accord. 78 00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:27,840 Speaker 1: He has claimed that many of the female til MPs 79 00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:30,840 Speaker 1: he backs are at risk of losing their seats and 80 00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:36,719 Speaker 1: it's due to misogyny. Simonomes Accord said, there are misleading, 81 00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:42,520 Speaker 1: misogynistic attacks to undermine the credibility of these women. But ladies, 82 00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:44,760 Speaker 1: Simon Homes, the court seems to have a bit of 83 00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:47,440 Speaker 1: a short memory because it seems to have been very 84 00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:53,120 Speaker 1: comfortable with these sort of attacks against conservative politicians. Let's 85 00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:56,039 Speaker 1: look at just a few examples. Back in twenty twenty two, 86 00:04:56,120 --> 00:05:00,279 Speaker 1: you use the term crumb maidens a derogatory term to 87 00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:06,120 Speaker 1: describe Anne Roston, Kayla Cash, Maurice Payne. In twenty twenty two, 88 00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:10,880 Speaker 1: he also called Victorian MP Katie Allen pathetic and told 89 00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:14,040 Speaker 1: Susan Lay to get in the bin. And who can 90 00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:18,920 Speaker 1: forget his conduct with Liberal MP Jane Hume last week 91 00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:22,960 Speaker 1: her homes of Court called her the nanny. In twenty nineteen, 92 00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:26,720 Speaker 1: he accused her of bitchiness, and during the twenty two 93 00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:30,799 Speaker 1: election campaign he accosted her at a polling booth after 94 00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:35,039 Speaker 1: Hume told him numerous times to just leave me alone. 95 00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:37,200 Speaker 5: We remember all that footage, Tina. 96 00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:40,520 Speaker 1: It seems that Simon Holmes the Court has a pretty 97 00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:45,159 Speaker 1: hazy memory when it comes to women copying unfair treatment 98 00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:46,960 Speaker 1: in politics. 99 00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:50,240 Speaker 9: Very selective and it's also apparent from the previous statements 100 00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:53,320 Speaker 9: the conservative women simply don't count. And this is quite 101 00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:56,479 Speaker 9: often the case across the board. His comments have been 102 00:05:56,600 --> 00:06:01,360 Speaker 9: disrespectful and wopeful to conservative women. Yet now he's trying 103 00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:04,040 Speaker 9: to make out it's the teal candidate. 104 00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:06,719 Speaker 8: He's women that are hard done by. Nothing could be 105 00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:07,599 Speaker 8: further from the truth. 106 00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:09,560 Speaker 9: I do hope he's right, though I hope some of 107 00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:12,520 Speaker 9: them at least lose their seats. But he should be 108 00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:15,120 Speaker 9: more good that he responded to Jane him. But he 109 00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:17,719 Speaker 9: should be more careful and treat all women with respect, 110 00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,760 Speaker 9: not just those that he pays their campaigns. 111 00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:23,240 Speaker 5: Prue. 112 00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:26,480 Speaker 1: This is not isolated when it comes to the left. 113 00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:31,040 Speaker 1: They're very sensitive to any hints of misogyny sexism when 114 00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:35,080 Speaker 1: it's targeted at leftist women, but they are guilty of 115 00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:39,640 Speaker 1: just heinous behavior us. Some of the most reprehensible things 116 00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:43,480 Speaker 1: I have seen online targeted at women are targeted at 117 00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:47,719 Speaker 1: conservative women, and the Sisterhood doesn't come in to defend them. 118 00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:50,760 Speaker 1: The Sisterhood isn't there to say this sort of behavior 119 00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:51,680 Speaker 1: is unacceptable. 120 00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:55,320 Speaker 7: Read did they have double standards? Don't they? 121 00:06:55,360 --> 00:07:00,000 Speaker 6: The hypocrisy is astounding, or probably not so astounding these days. 122 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:02,919 Speaker 6: We're so used to it from any of the lefties. 123 00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:05,960 Speaker 6: But you know, you have this spoil little rich boy 124 00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:10,320 Speaker 6: who's got this big bank, big wallet, and he's not happy. 125 00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:13,320 Speaker 6: He's stamping his foot because it's not going his way. 126 00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:17,000 Speaker 6: And you know, thankfully people are waking up to the teals. 127 00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:21,000 Speaker 6: These con artists who pretend to be something and are 128 00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:22,720 Speaker 6: definitely the opposite. 129 00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:25,920 Speaker 7: So I'm delighted that they're under threat. 130 00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:28,800 Speaker 6: I just hope that the donors and many of whom 131 00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:31,920 Speaker 6: I'm sure are you know, people have invested quite heavily 132 00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:33,760 Speaker 6: in the renewables. 133 00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:37,720 Speaker 7: Scam as far as I'm concerned, will. 134 00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:39,920 Speaker 6: Wake up to the fact that, you know, they're backing 135 00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:40,600 Speaker 6: the wrong horse. 136 00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:41,440 Speaker 7: But I doubt it. 137 00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:44,960 Speaker 6: When money is in line, you know, they'll always go 138 00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:46,040 Speaker 6: after the money trail. 139 00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:51,760 Speaker 1: Now, as we reach the final days of the election campaign, 140 00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:55,600 Speaker 1: it seems like the cringe worthy posts from the candidates 141 00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:58,760 Speaker 1: are getting worse. Let's take a look here at a 142 00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:04,160 Speaker 1: labor candidate for Ali France. She's contesting Peter Dutton's seat 143 00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:15,760 Speaker 1: of Dixon. Just inspiring stuff there. Now, when it comes 144 00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:20,360 Speaker 1: to weapon grade cringe, the Greens are among the worst offenders. 145 00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:23,520 Speaker 1: Let's have a look at Green's letter, Adam Band's. 146 00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:27,160 Speaker 5: Work friend, Bady friends. 147 00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:31,559 Speaker 10: Friend. 148 00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:34,080 Speaker 5: Okay, there's worse. 149 00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:38,160 Speaker 1: Take a look here at Green's candidate Mandy Nolan, who 150 00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:40,800 Speaker 1: seems to think that if we get rid of coal 151 00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:45,080 Speaker 1: and gas projects, we will somehow be able to fund 152 00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:48,840 Speaker 1: health and education better. And she also thinks she cannot 153 00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:50,040 Speaker 1: cap mortgage payments. 154 00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:53,520 Speaker 11: You know what would make sense if we've got dental 155 00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:57,200 Speaker 11: in domedicair, and we had a limit on mortgage and 156 00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:01,400 Speaker 11: rent increases, and we stopped opening cold and gasmine in 157 00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:03,880 Speaker 11: the middle of a climate crisis, so we can fund 158 00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:07,600 Speaker 11: health and education and make sure that everyone has a 159 00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:08,520 Speaker 11: secure home. 160 00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:09,120 Speaker 7: Proue. 161 00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:13,400 Speaker 1: This is just a fantasy in material. We perhaps should 162 00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:16,760 Speaker 1: start having some truth in advertising regulations when it comes 163 00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:17,480 Speaker 1: to the Greens. 164 00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:22,360 Speaker 6: Well, it's astounding that there isn't truth in advertising. This 165 00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:28,679 Speaker 6: whole campaign has been a campaign of fabrications, misinformation and lies. 166 00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:32,400 Speaker 7: The ads that we see at nauseum. 167 00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:35,720 Speaker 6: Are all lies, and yet they're getting away with it. 168 00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:40,920 Speaker 6: Where is the consumer protection? And we've got these influencers 169 00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:44,400 Speaker 6: who apparently have a brain. I have yet to determine 170 00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:47,440 Speaker 6: if they do, but they're going to squeal the loudest. 171 00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:51,760 Speaker 6: You know that last one said nothing changes. If nothing changes, 172 00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:55,440 Speaker 6: well if they keep if they actually do vote in 173 00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:58,920 Speaker 6: Labor and the Greens, nothing will change. 174 00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:00,480 Speaker 8: You know, reader, It's sad. 175 00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:02,120 Speaker 9: I mean we sit back and eye up and laugh 176 00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:04,760 Speaker 9: at these ads, but it's frightening. Some of these people 177 00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:07,720 Speaker 9: may actually get elected. And if someone like that is elected, 178 00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:10,360 Speaker 9: that's the scary part. So as much as we'd like 179 00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:12,679 Speaker 9: to mop and make fun of these ads, because they 180 00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:16,559 Speaker 9: are ridiculous with some demographics, they work and it's. 181 00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:19,520 Speaker 6: Scary and they're going to squeal so loudly when they 182 00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:24,480 Speaker 6: can't power up their influencer, you know, spotlights and post 183 00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:28,320 Speaker 6: it and charge their phones. They're going to wonder what happened, Well, 184 00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:30,000 Speaker 6: they deserve what's coming to them. 185 00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:35,600 Speaker 1: Well, they'll blame somebody else. They'll never take responsibility that 186 00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:39,800 Speaker 1: the very policies that advocated for has brought about the 187 00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:40,920 Speaker 1: pain they're suffering. 188 00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:43,360 Speaker 5: Now, let's have a look at this bit. 189 00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:47,080 Speaker 1: Of satire from the days when the chaser was actually funny. 190 00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:50,200 Speaker 1: This is why people used to vote for the Greens 191 00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:52,679 Speaker 1: before they become I don't know what do you call 192 00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:54,640 Speaker 1: them these days, far left extremists. 193 00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:57,720 Speaker 9: I felt disillusioned and let down by the two major parties. 194 00:10:58,000 --> 00:10:59,320 Speaker 4: That's why I voted Greens. 195 00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:02,520 Speaker 8: I'm an inner city trending who's never had to. 196 00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:05,240 Speaker 1: Deal with really shees like drought, transport or having to 197 00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:06,160 Speaker 1: run your own business. 198 00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:09,719 Speaker 5: That's why I voted Greens. I'm trying to get into 199 00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:10,160 Speaker 5: the pans. 200 00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:12,600 Speaker 12: So this hot hippie girl is into dolphins and shit. 201 00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:14,439 Speaker 5: That's why I voted Greens. 202 00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:18,959 Speaker 13: I'm a cool hepster from Melbourne who always lives against 203 00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:19,559 Speaker 13: the Green just a. 204 00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:21,840 Speaker 9: Look alternative, That's why I voted Greens. 205 00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:26,160 Speaker 14: I was just staying on an elections. 206 00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:29,280 Speaker 7: Tita. 207 00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:32,720 Speaker 1: They used to be a joke, we used to mock them, 208 00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:35,360 Speaker 1: but really you look at them now, you look at 209 00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:40,719 Speaker 1: the policies that advocate for the anti Semitism, the hostility 210 00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:45,040 Speaker 1: to Australia. They're a dangerous party and they may hold 211 00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:48,160 Speaker 1: the balance of power. In fact, that's possibly the most 212 00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:53,199 Speaker 1: likely scenario, as the Poles stand tonight tonight and all. 213 00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:56,120 Speaker 9: These young people but you know, rushing to vote for them. 214 00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:59,439 Speaker 9: What about the inheritance tax guys they might introduce. Honestly, 215 00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:03,040 Speaker 9: you're all think of the future, think of your inheritance, 216 00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:07,480 Speaker 9: Think very carefully before your vote Green. Although I haven't seen, 217 00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:11,040 Speaker 9: they're not moving too much in the polls, hopefully their 218 00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:12,600 Speaker 9: vote will drop this election. 219 00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:18,960 Speaker 1: Reta now, Housing Minister Clara O'Neill has distanced herself from 220 00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:23,280 Speaker 1: ten potential volunteers linked to the Chinese Communist Party in 221 00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:27,480 Speaker 1: her electorate of Hotham. A Chinese Australian labor member who 222 00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:31,800 Speaker 1: describes himself as a friend of Miss O'Neill reportedly used 223 00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:36,319 Speaker 1: an intermediri to gather ten Chinese Australians to staff polling 224 00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:40,240 Speaker 1: boots on election day. And this all comes claims of 225 00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:44,320 Speaker 1: possible foreign interference involving till MP Monique ran in the 226 00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:49,520 Speaker 1: seat of Qyong. There are approximately one point four million 227 00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:54,000 Speaker 1: Australians with Chinese ancestry living in the country right now. 228 00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:56,640 Speaker 5: It's a pretty significant voting block. 229 00:12:57,960 --> 00:12:59,160 Speaker 7: Well, this is the problem. 230 00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:02,840 Speaker 6: You know, both parties will all parties want to court them. 231 00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:08,520 Speaker 6: A diasper has quite a powerful influence. And what's concerning 232 00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:12,319 Speaker 6: is the contradiction. So we have Clara O'Neil saying that 233 00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:17,080 Speaker 6: this mister Ji, who is associated with the Communist Party 234 00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:23,240 Speaker 6: in China, volunteered to supply volunteers, but then he said 235 00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:28,000 Speaker 6: that her offers reached out. We've got Andrew Charlton who's 236 00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:33,000 Speaker 6: accusing Liberal volunteers of being part of the exclusive Brethren. 237 00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:37,959 Speaker 6: And we have, as you said, Mcmonique Ryan who's seemingly 238 00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:44,720 Speaker 6: having or for some amazing reason, these Chinese are again 239 00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:50,120 Speaker 6: volunteering for her. So there needs to be a whole investigation. 240 00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:53,800 Speaker 6: I believe into this because it's quite dangerous and when 241 00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:59,080 Speaker 6: we have political parties who are potentially being influenced by 242 00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:02,440 Speaker 6: the Communist Party of China, then we're in for a 243 00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:06,280 Speaker 6: really bad time. So it cannot be ignored. This is 244 00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:09,400 Speaker 6: very significant and we need an investigation. 245 00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:12,160 Speaker 5: Tina. 246 00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:14,760 Speaker 1: Is this part of the reason why the Albanese government 247 00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:17,680 Speaker 1: is so soft on China even as their warships are 248 00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:21,200 Speaker 1: in our territory, because they know there's one point four 249 00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:25,680 Speaker 1: million voters with a link to China and some of them, 250 00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:30,040 Speaker 1: maybe many of them, do have some feelings of allegiance 251 00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:32,880 Speaker 1: and they don't like to see criticism of China. 252 00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:35,200 Speaker 8: That's true. 253 00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:38,600 Speaker 9: There's no doubt that Albanesi is very careful not to 254 00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:42,920 Speaker 9: raffle China's feathers. Look traditionally, a lot of the Chinese 255 00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:46,840 Speaker 9: voters in electorates are conservative voters. But as you say, 256 00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:51,480 Speaker 9: there is this strong pool to the home country. So yeah, 257 00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:56,120 Speaker 9: Albanese is really tiptoeing about the whole China and I 258 00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:58,640 Speaker 9: think this is something done and again didn't capitalize on 259 00:14:59,040 --> 00:14:59,960 Speaker 9: to show our strength. 260 00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:01,560 Speaker 8: The countries will stand up to. 261 00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:04,280 Speaker 9: I mean, there's so many things during this election we 262 00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:06,520 Speaker 9: should have been more firm on reader that will be 263 00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:09,760 Speaker 9: no doubt looked at closely after the election went Sadly, 264 00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:10,600 Speaker 9: it's all too late. 265 00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:15,440 Speaker 1: Well, we've been talking about it for weeks, even before 266 00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:18,440 Speaker 1: the election was called. We were in talking about the 267 00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:22,600 Speaker 1: coalition being bolder, being stronger, being clear in how they 268 00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:26,720 Speaker 1: differentiate themselves from Labor. And there are so many policy 269 00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:29,560 Speaker 1: areas where they could have done that energy being right 270 00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:33,560 Speaker 1: up there, immigration policy, population policy. If they came in 271 00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:37,280 Speaker 1: saying we're going to slash immigration by fifty percent because 272 00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:40,160 Speaker 1: we cannot cope with five hundred thousand people a year 273 00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:42,800 Speaker 1: coming in as they did under Labor, I think that 274 00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:45,040 Speaker 1: would have spoke to the electorate. But they have just 275 00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:48,160 Speaker 1: declined to do that. It's been a bizarre campaign as 276 00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:51,240 Speaker 1: far as I've seen. Before you go, Lateies, I wanted 277 00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:54,440 Speaker 1: to bring you a bit of a Megan Markle. It's 278 00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:56,560 Speaker 1: been a while since we've talked about the Duchess. She 279 00:15:56,680 --> 00:15:59,920 Speaker 1: appeared on a Friends podcast this week. A woman who 280 00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:02,840 Speaker 1: is even more annoying than Megan. Her name is Jamie 281 00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:06,680 Speaker 1: kurrent Lima. And here, I mean, the whole thing is 282 00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:09,480 Speaker 1: just so painful. I've just picked one little clip here. 283 00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:13,400 Speaker 1: She just talks about just what an incredible work ethic 284 00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:13,880 Speaker 1: she has. 285 00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:18,600 Speaker 15: My gosh, I work so hard, and I appreciate what 286 00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:23,960 Speaker 15: hard work looks like. I like working hard, and I'm 287 00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:26,600 Speaker 15: still working hard. Right the moment that everything sells out, 288 00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:29,280 Speaker 15: it doesn't mean that we're done. Yeah, it means we're 289 00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:30,920 Speaker 15: working on replenishment and what are the next cues and 290 00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:32,720 Speaker 15: what's the next tranch of products and what's the timing 291 00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:35,080 Speaker 15: on that, and writing the newsletters and writing their social 292 00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:37,240 Speaker 15: media captions and making sure that all that appeels in 293 00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:39,600 Speaker 15: line and what's the cadence of it, and what's the 294 00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:40,640 Speaker 15: photography that we want to. 295 00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:42,240 Speaker 7: Do and what do I want to wear for those shoots? 296 00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:45,480 Speaker 15: While also editing all the time coded notes for season 297 00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:48,800 Speaker 15: two of With Love Meghan, and then being in edits 298 00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:53,240 Speaker 15: for the podcast and making and being a mom and 299 00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:54,360 Speaker 15: a wife and a friend. 300 00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:58,160 Speaker 1: Yes, the work ethic must just be grueling, writing social 301 00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:00,040 Speaker 1: media captions, deciding. 302 00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:03,200 Speaker 5: What she's going to wear, being a MoMA prue. 303 00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:07,440 Speaker 1: It's too much for me that there's only small doses 304 00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:11,480 Speaker 1: of that podcast I can consume because it's just too. 305 00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:12,560 Speaker 7: Posting that long. 306 00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:16,000 Speaker 6: I mean it is, so that is enough to make 307 00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:18,240 Speaker 6: you go to the toilet.

It is a place 340 00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:03,679 Speaker 16: that really is the heart and soul of the community. 341 00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:07,600 Speaker 16: And to have a situation where an eighteen year old 342 00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:09,560 Speaker 16: man who according to police, was in there trying to 343 00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:12,159 Speaker 16: steal from that shop when Lindford tried to escort him 344 00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:16,600 Speaker 16: out of the premises and then he allegedly stabbed and 345 00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:21,879 Speaker 16: killed Lindford, I think has just left everyone quite shocked 346 00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:25,240 Speaker 16: and quite angry about the whole situation. And then to 347 00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:29,800 Speaker 16: subsequently learn that, you know, that alleged defender was on 348 00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:34,159 Speaker 16: bail for very serious offenses, including the alleged rape of 349 00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:36,280 Speaker 16: a fourteen year old girl. I think people are just 350 00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:39,280 Speaker 16: shaking their heads and wondering how on earth we've got 351 00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:40,080 Speaker 16: to this point. 352 00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:44,480 Speaker 1: Now, Matt, the Northern Territory will have the toughest bail 353 00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:47,119 Speaker 1: laws in the country. That's why the Chief Minister wants 354 00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:50,320 Speaker 1: to see what will that mean for the courts and 355 00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:53,359 Speaker 1: for the police and is it a plan that's backed 356 00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:54,560 Speaker 1: by community leaders. 357 00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:01,560 Speaker 16: Look, I think the plan has widespread support to answer 358 00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:04,439 Speaker 16: your question in Parliament today. I mean even the Greens 359 00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:09,200 Speaker 16: MP who represents the electorate of Nightcliff where this incident happened. 360 00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:14,800 Speaker 16: She in the Parliament supported the government's changes to bail laws. 361 00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:18,680 Speaker 16: So it had almost unanimous support from the parliament. There 362 00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:22,080 Speaker 16: was an independent MP who abstained and another independent who 363 00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:24,600 Speaker 16: wasn't in the chamber but did have the support of 364 00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:26,960 Speaker 16: the Greens MP. It had the support of Labor and 365 00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:30,360 Speaker 16: of course it had the support of the seventeen members 366 00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:34,320 Speaker 16: of the Government. What essentially is being changed is there 367 00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:37,800 Speaker 16: will be a removal of a clause that applies to 368 00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:41,040 Speaker 16: youth offenders at the moment that says detention must be 369 00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:43,320 Speaker 16: an option of last resort that has been taken out, 370 00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:48,480 Speaker 16: and there will be also inserted a clause where it 371 00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:51,200 Speaker 16: will say that a judge must have a high degree 372 00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:55,119 Speaker 16: of confidence that someone who is given bail will not 373 00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:59,560 Speaker 16: reoffend while they are on bail. Now, this is something 374 00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:04,120 Speaker 16: that was changed in New South Wales and the Chief 375 00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:07,800 Speaker 16: Minister Leafanocquio has said that not only will the legislation 376 00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:10,560 Speaker 16: here in the Northern territory now go as far as 377 00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:12,880 Speaker 16: New South Wales, it will in fact go further because 378 00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:18,280 Speaker 16: there will be more prescribed offenses that fall under this legislation. 379 00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:22,680 Speaker 16: Where that is the consideration that the judge must make. 380 00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:25,960 Speaker 16: I guess the question that's being asked because the country 381 00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:29,120 Speaker 16: of the Liberal Party came to power last August, and when 382 00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:31,480 Speaker 16: they came to power last August, they had promised to 383 00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:33,680 Speaker 16: crack down on baila, promised to crack down on law 384 00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:37,160 Speaker 16: and order. That actually implemented changes to the bail laws 385 00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:40,359 Speaker 16: that they'd call Declan's Law in honor of Declan and Lavity, 386 00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:42,439 Speaker 16: the twenty year old bottletrot worker who was killed a 387 00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:44,359 Speaker 16: couple of years ago, stabbed to death while he was 388 00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:47,520 Speaker 16: at work. So they changed the presumption so that the 389 00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:50,680 Speaker 16: presumption was against bail for a lot of these serious offenses. 390 00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:54,959 Speaker 16: But still we've had a number of incidents since then, 391 00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:59,320 Speaker 16: where we have learned of people committing serious violent crimes 392 00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:01,680 Speaker 16: while they have been on bail. So that's why they've 393 00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:04,840 Speaker 16: gone a step further now and implemented what they are 394 00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:07,800 Speaker 16: calling the toughest toughest bail laws in the country. 395 00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:12,640 Speaker 1: Well, obviously those changes weren't effective because, as you explained earlier, 396 00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:15,800 Speaker 1: we had a man murdered a week ago allegedly by 397 00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:18,840 Speaker 1: someone who was out on bail on very serious offenses. 398 00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:22,480 Speaker 1: So if you do end up with the toughest bail 399 00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:23,800 Speaker 1: laws in the country, I think. 400 00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:24,720 Speaker 5: That's a good thing. 401 00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:29,160 Speaker 1: We've seen footage of extreme violence in the past week, 402 00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:32,960 Speaker 1: of mass brawls at service stations, at pubs, on the streets. 403 00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:36,680 Speaker 1: Must just be terrible for the local community there to 404 00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:39,560 Speaker 1: be living with that. Do you think the Prime Minister 405 00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:43,320 Speaker 1: and the Opposition leader should have a greater focus on 406 00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:47,360 Speaker 1: this issue as the election campaign hits the final days. 407 00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:52,000 Speaker 16: Well, I think everyone here would love the Prime Minister 408 00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:55,160 Speaker 16: and the Opposition leader to have a greater focus on 409 00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:58,439 Speaker 16: this issue. It seems sometimes living up here, it seems 410 00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:00,320 Speaker 16: like you live in a parallel universe and you look 411 00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:05,080 Speaker 16: at the issues that get discussed on the East Coast 412 00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:09,480 Speaker 16: in Canberra, etc. Particularly around the issue of Indigenous affairs. 413 00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:13,480 Speaker 16: I see this ongoing debate about welcome to country that 414 00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:18,040 Speaker 16: are happening at the moment in Sydney and Melbourne and Canberra, 415 00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:20,680 Speaker 16: and I can tell you not many people are talking 416 00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:23,080 Speaker 16: about welcomes to country up here at the moment. They're 417 00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:27,119 Speaker 16: talking about just the absolute chaos and dysfunction that we 418 00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:30,280 Speaker 16: are witnessing on the streets of Darwin. We've talked about 419 00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:32,480 Speaker 16: the streets of Alice Springs. I was in Catherine last week. 420 00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:35,560 Speaker 16: The number one number one thing people wanted to to 421 00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:38,600 Speaker 16: talk about in Catherine was the crime, the law and order, 422 00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:41,480 Speaker 16: the violence and dysfunction that is happening on our streets. 423 00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:43,399 Speaker 16: And I'd have to say, in many cases it's a 424 00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:47,280 Speaker 16: result of various policies in some instances that have been 425 00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:52,080 Speaker 16: sent our way from politicians in Canberra. I mean, right now, reader, 426 00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:55,479 Speaker 16: we are reversing decisions that were made by government in 427 00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:58,159 Speaker 16: the wake of the twenty seventeen Royal Commission into the 428 00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:02,119 Speaker 16: Protection and Detention of Children, a royal commission that Malcolm Turnbull, 429 00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:04,840 Speaker 16: the former Liberal Party Prime Minister, announced the morning after 430 00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:07,720 Speaker 16: he watched the TV show and we then had that 431 00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:10,320 Speaker 16: Royal Commission that went for twelve months and gave us 432 00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:12,560 Speaker 16: more than two hundred recommendations, and a lot of those 433 00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:16,280 Speaker 16: recommendations were about making it easier for people to get bail. 434 00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:18,680 Speaker 16: This is the situation we've been left in. So you're 435 00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:20,760 Speaker 16: all down there talking about welcome to country, I can 436 00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:23,240 Speaker 16: tell you that's not what we're talking about up here 437 00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:25,560 Speaker 16: at the moment. We're talking about the damage that is 438 00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:28,800 Speaker 16: being done to a community by policies that are often 439 00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:33,000 Speaker 16: directed by people who we are told are experts who 440 00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:34,640 Speaker 16: live a long, long way away. 441 00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:39,240 Speaker 1: From this place.

I actually welcome the judgment 487 00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:21,960 Speaker 14: because I think it gives real clarity. It allows those 488 00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:24,080 Speaker 14: that have got a drop guidance to be really clear 489 00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:25,720 Speaker 14: about what that guidance should say. 490 00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:30,640 Speaker 1: Now I have missed historically illiterate, hysteric Joyanne read since 491 00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:34,600 Speaker 1: she was sacked by MSNBC, But thankfully she's still producing 492 00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:39,000 Speaker 1: content like this where she claims voting for Republicans will 493 00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:44,479 Speaker 1: lead to civilizational death. And the example she uses couldn't 494 00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:45,119 Speaker 1: be more wrong. 495 00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:47,840 Speaker 2: If you take that away and try to distill us 496 00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:51,000 Speaker 2: just down to white folks, we'll be like Europe. 497 00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:55,440 Speaker 3: And aging, slowly dying former empire. 498 00:27:56,119 --> 00:27:59,360 Speaker 2: The Roman Empire didn't survive because it didn't have enough 499 00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:00,879 Speaker 2: strength its diversity. 500 00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:03,760 Speaker 3: It suppressed its diversity, and it died. 501 00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:06,840 Speaker 2: If the US wants to be the Roman Empire, keep 502 00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:08,080 Speaker 2: voting the way you vote in y'all. 503 00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:11,840 Speaker 1: You know Joy's mad fever. Dreams about Trump and white 504 00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:15,560 Speaker 1: supremacy seem to impact her entire worldview, But you. 505 00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:16,880 Speaker 5: Can't change history. 506 00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:17,320 Speaker 10: Joy. 507 00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:20,399 Speaker 1: Well, before the fall of the Roman Empire, the emperor 508 00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:24,920 Speaker 1: granted full Roman citizenship to all three men within the empire, 509 00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:30,000 Speaker 1: changing the entire scope of citizenship to be far more inclusive. 510 00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:33,879 Speaker 1: Facts are our friends. Now, let's check in with former 511 00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:37,760 Speaker 1: First Lady Michelle Obama, who must be among the unhappiest 512 00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:41,280 Speaker 1: women in America. She's full of self pity, she's full 513 00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:44,160 Speaker 1: of disdain for the country that gave us so much, 514 00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:48,640 Speaker 1: and full of fears that are frankly hysterical in this 515 00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:50,080 Speaker 1: current climate. 516 00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:54,040 Speaker 19: For me, it's you know, what's happening to immigrants, you know, 517 00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:57,800 Speaker 19: So it's it's not the fear for myself anymore. I 518 00:28:57,880 --> 00:29:00,440 Speaker 19: drive around in a four car motor care with the 519 00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:01,360 Speaker 19: police escort. 520 00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:03,160 Speaker 5: I'm Michelle Obama. 521 00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:06,400 Speaker 19: I do still worry about my daughters in the world, 522 00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:09,680 Speaker 19: even though they are somewhat recognizable. So my fears are 523 00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:13,200 Speaker 19: for what I know is happening out there in streets 524 00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:16,680 Speaker 19: all over the city. And now that we have leadership 525 00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:20,920 Speaker 19: that is sort of indiscriminately determining who belongs and who 526 00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:22,760 Speaker 19: doesn't indiscriminately. 527 00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:26,800 Speaker 1: Really, Michelle, you have to be in the country illegally. 528 00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:28,640 Speaker 1: You have to have broken the law to be in 529 00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:32,600 Speaker 1: the country illegally to be a candidate for deportation. Kind 530 00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:36,120 Speaker 1: Of an important point, but miserable. Michelle wasn't done yet. 531 00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:39,880 Speaker 1: She really does seem like the unhappiest person in America, 532 00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:42,920 Speaker 1: even with the full cor motiicate. 533 00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:45,720 Speaker 19: And knowing that there's so much bias and so much 534 00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:50,000 Speaker 19: racism and so much ignorance that fuels those kind of choices. 535 00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:54,720 Speaker 19: I worry for people of color all over this country, 536 00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:58,000 Speaker 19: and I don't know that we will have the advocates 537 00:29:58,040 --> 00:30:00,840 Speaker 19: to protect everybody, and that makes me. 538 00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:05,240 Speaker 7: That frightens me. It keeps me up at night. 539 00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:08,040 Speaker 19: And I know that there are and I see that 540 00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:10,800 Speaker 19: when I'm driving around LA, I'm just looking in the 541 00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:13,840 Speaker 19: faces of folks who could be victim, and I'm wondering, 542 00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:16,840 Speaker 19: how are you feeling, How do you feel standing on 543 00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:20,200 Speaker 19: the bus stop, How do you feel comfortable going to work, 544 00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:23,480 Speaker 19: going to school when you know that there could be 545 00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:26,840 Speaker 19: people out here judging you and who could up end 546 00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:28,440 Speaker 19: your life in a second. 547 00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:30,080 Speaker 5: Incredible stuff. 548 00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:33,720 Speaker 1: Funnily enough, Michelle wasn't too worried when her husband, the 549 00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:37,120 Speaker 1: man who got the nickname Deporter in Chief. She wasn't 550 00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:39,080 Speaker 1: too worried when he was in the White House and 551 00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:43,560 Speaker 1: responsible for deporting millions. That didn't keep her up at night. 552 00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:45,880 Speaker 1: Let's give Michelle a little reminder. 553 00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:49,600 Speaker 20: We simply cannot allow people to pour into the United 554 00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:56,600 Speaker 20: States undetected, undocumented, unchecked, and circumventing the line of people 555 00:30:56,600 --> 00:31:01,280 Speaker 20: who are waiting patiently, diligently, and lawfully to become immigrants 556 00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:04,600 Speaker 20: in this country. So that's why we need to start 557 00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:09,320 Speaker 20: by giving agencies charge with border security, new technology, new facilities, 558 00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:14,560 Speaker 20: and more people to stop process and deport illegal immigrants. 559 00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:17,400 Speaker 1: That's how Barak used to campaign, and when he was 560 00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:21,760 Speaker 1: in office, he was deporting millions. He even talked about 561 00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:25,719 Speaker 1: targeting businesses that gave employment to illegal immigrants. 562 00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:28,400 Speaker 5: I don't think this kept Michelle up at NASEE either. 563 00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:32,560 Speaker 20: We all agree on the need to better secure the 564 00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:37,040 Speaker 20: border and the punish employers who choose to hire illegal immigrants. 565 00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:40,000 Speaker 10: You know, we are a generous and welcoming people here 566 00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:42,360 Speaker 10: in the United States, but those who entered the country 567 00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:46,280 Speaker 10: illegally and those who imployed them disrespect the rule of law, 568 00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:52,000 Speaker 10: and they are showing disregard for those who are following 569 00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:52,360 Speaker 10: the law. 570 00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:55,800 Speaker 1: Joining me now is comedian and host of Prime Time 571 00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:57,560 Speaker 1: with Alex Stein on Blaze TV. 572 00:31:57,760 --> 00:32:00,600 Speaker 5: Alex Michelle was in the wine House. 573 00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:04,640 Speaker 1: During a period where Barack got known as the deporter 574 00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:07,920 Speaker 1: in chief? Did she ever speak out about that at 575 00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:11,040 Speaker 1: the time, Because Trump's doing the same thing, and it's 576 00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:12,760 Speaker 1: keeping the poor woman up at night. 577 00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:18,000 Speaker 21: You know, honestly, I don't think Trump is deporting him 578 00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:20,120 Speaker 21: fast enough. I really do believe that, even though I 579 00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:22,160 Speaker 21: know he's doing a great job on stopping the illegal 580 00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:25,440 Speaker 21: border crosses right now. But listen, let's look at Michelle, 581 00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:27,840 Speaker 21: Obama and Riata. You know, I've been trying to kind 582 00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:32,440 Speaker 21: of pinpoint the similarities to Jada Pinkett Smith and Will Smith. 583 00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:34,600 Speaker 21: You know, if you look at it now, she's doing 584 00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:37,560 Speaker 21: a podcast. Jada Pinkett Smith is doing a podcast. It 585 00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:40,360 Speaker 21: just seems like this couple that you know, gave us 586 00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:43,480 Speaker 21: the impression that they are very strong, they're on thin eyes. 587 00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:46,560 Speaker 21: So I've just you know, the hypocrisy of the Obama 588 00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:48,840 Speaker 21: is considering they say climate change is one of our 589 00:32:48,840 --> 00:32:51,160 Speaker 21: biggest threats, that they live in Martha's vineyards. So this 590 00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:54,360 Speaker 21: is just another example of probably some of the most 591 00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:56,280 Speaker 21: hypocritical people on planet Earth. 592 00:32:58,080 --> 00:33:00,880 Speaker 5: But also some of the unhappiest. 593 00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:05,040 Speaker 1: It seems Michelle's podcast is just a massive winch fest. 594 00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:08,760 Speaker 1: Is She's just lives a fairly charmed existence. You would 595 00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:12,000 Speaker 1: think she's gotten more money than she could ever need. 596 00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:14,720 Speaker 5: She's got the four car murdercate you mentioned. 597 00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:20,120 Speaker 1: There, but she just whinds endlessly on that podcast and 598 00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:23,200 Speaker 1: all these interviews. She's almost overtaken Meghan markl and Prince 599 00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:29,640 Speaker 1: Harry as the most self delighted, overprivileged, miserable people in 600 00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:30,240 Speaker 1: the country. 601 00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:34,200 Speaker 21: Well, and that's a tough award to win because nobody 602 00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:36,480 Speaker 21: can beat Meghan Markle really when it comes to that. 603 00:33:36,600 --> 00:33:40,440 Speaker 21: But you know, I mean, just the sad reality though 604 00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:42,360 Speaker 21: when it comes to Michelle Obama, is that you're right, 605 00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:45,040 Speaker 21: is that she's unhappy. She's doing whatever she can to 606 00:33:45,080 --> 00:33:47,680 Speaker 21: stay relevant, but the people wanted to run, She's not 607 00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:49,760 Speaker 21: going to run. So she's kind of stuck in this 608 00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:52,520 Speaker 21: in between zone of what does she want to do? 609 00:33:52,600 --> 00:33:54,760 Speaker 21: What is it going to be her identity other than being, 610 00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:57,160 Speaker 21: you know, the former first Lady. So she's kind of 611 00:33:57,200 --> 00:34:00,000 Speaker 21: grasping a straw. She's not as talented as people probably thought, 612 00:34:00,560 --> 00:34:03,520 Speaker 21: and nobody's listening to her podcast. There's trouble at home. 613 00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:06,840 Speaker 21: So the future for Michelle Obama, I imagine it is 614 00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:09,520 Speaker 21: going to be a tough road ahead, and I don't 615 00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:11,680 Speaker 21: think we're ever going to get actually any transparency. I 616 00:34:11,719 --> 00:34:14,200 Speaker 21: think that they could totally be divorced Rita and they 617 00:34:14,200 --> 00:34:16,680 Speaker 21: would never publicly stated, at least not for a while. 618 00:34:16,920 --> 00:34:18,759 Speaker 21: They'll just live one will be in Hawaii and one 619 00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:21,760 Speaker 21: will be in Martha's vineyards. Because there are such phonies. 620 00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:23,640 Speaker 21: I don't even think they would admit that they can't 621 00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:24,879 Speaker 21: even make their relationship work. 622 00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:29,759 Speaker 1: I tell you, I reckon. This podcast has been an 623 00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:33,680 Speaker 1: enormous mistake. It's not only exposed how inpopular she is, 624 00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:37,160 Speaker 1: because she's always had this image of being enormously popular, 625 00:34:37,680 --> 00:34:40,399 Speaker 1: and that's been part of a appeal for the Democrats. 626 00:34:40,640 --> 00:34:43,880 Speaker 1: She's always talked about as a future presidential candidate. But 627 00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:47,400 Speaker 1: the numbers for this podcast are so woeful. But beyond 628 00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:51,480 Speaker 1: that is she's become a figure of mockery because everything 629 00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:56,360 Speaker 1: that seems to go viral from the podcast is material 630 00:34:56,480 --> 00:34:58,960 Speaker 1: that sees her as the butt. 631 00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:02,000 Speaker 5: Of jokes because She wines and wines and wines. 632 00:35:02,040 --> 00:35:05,360 Speaker 1: She never has anything happy to say, and very little 633 00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:08,000 Speaker 1: that's interesting. That's the other thing that she's not a 634 00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:11,200 Speaker 1: very compelling character. Now I want to ask you about 635 00:35:11,239 --> 00:35:15,320 Speaker 1: the tariff war. There were reports that Amazon was going 636 00:35:15,360 --> 00:35:19,120 Speaker 1: to list the tariff on items on its website. 637 00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:23,040 Speaker 22: It was reported this morning that Amazon will soon display 638 00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:25,720 Speaker 22: a little number next to the price of each product 639 00:35:25,719 --> 00:35:29,080 Speaker 22: that shows how much the Trump tariffs are adding to 640 00:35:29,239 --> 00:35:32,760 Speaker 22: the cost of each product. So isn't that a perfect 641 00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:36,360 Speaker 22: crystal clear demonstration that it's the American consumer and not 642 00:35:36,640 --> 00:35:39,520 Speaker 22: China who is going to have to pay for these policies. 643 00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:43,040 Speaker 1: But alex Amazon is denying these reports. They're denying that 644 00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:47,000 Speaker 1: they plan to display prices showing the tariff's impact on 645 00:35:47,080 --> 00:35:49,960 Speaker 1: Amazon dot Com. I don't know if this has anything 646 00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:53,040 Speaker 1: to do with a two percent drop in Amazon's share 647 00:35:53,120 --> 00:35:56,799 Speaker 1: price after the White House call. The reports of this 648 00:35:56,920 --> 00:36:00,640 Speaker 1: pricing plan a hostile and political act. 649 00:36:00,760 --> 00:36:01,879 Speaker 5: What do you make of this? 650 00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:05,239 Speaker 1: Did they do a U turn on this policy when 651 00:36:05,280 --> 00:36:08,440 Speaker 1: they saw the backlash or was it always fake news? 652 00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:12,359 Speaker 21: Well? I hope it was always fake news, because after 653 00:36:12,440 --> 00:36:16,560 Speaker 21: Jeff Bezos' disaster, you know, sending Lauren Sanchez. It's a 654 00:36:16,680 --> 00:36:18,960 Speaker 21: space I mean, he just wasted all of his money 655 00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:22,440 Speaker 21: basically sending you know, let's be real, a bunch of 656 00:36:22,560 --> 00:36:25,160 Speaker 21: untalented I guess Katy Perry is a little bit of talent, 657 00:36:25,200 --> 00:36:27,680 Speaker 21: but not astronauts. None of those women were astronauts. 658 00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:28,920 Speaker 8: He sent them all into space. 659 00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:31,759 Speaker 21: So I think that was actually not received as well 660 00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:33,600 Speaker 21: as they expected, and a lot of people thought that 661 00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:36,560 Speaker 21: was a way, So I think for their public relations 662 00:36:36,840 --> 00:36:40,160 Speaker 21: it cannot add this terriffic. Mag's already upset they sent 663 00:36:40,200 --> 00:36:42,760 Speaker 21: Katy Perry up there. He needs to try to appease 664 00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:45,680 Speaker 21: the American people, and these tariffs are unfortunate, but it's 665 00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:47,440 Speaker 21: just a necessary evil at this point. 666 00:36:49,600 --> 00:36:51,480 Speaker 1: Well, he has done a great deal of harm to 667 00:36:51,560 --> 00:36:55,000 Speaker 1: the credibility in the image of those women. Katy Perry 668 00:36:55,040 --> 00:36:58,120 Speaker 1: is now being mocked widely. Is just having trouble moving 669 00:36:58,239 --> 00:37:00,920 Speaker 1: tickets for a concert, and I'm saying of her concert 670 00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:06,480 Speaker 1: to our being mocked mercilessly. Gail King is also being 671 00:37:07,280 --> 00:37:12,520 Speaker 1: ridiculed online. It's one of the biggest PR disasters in 672 00:37:12,600 --> 00:37:16,360 Speaker 1: recent years, that little space expedition. 673 00:37:18,280 --> 00:37:20,279 Speaker 21: Well, and you know, it's not about the women. I 674 00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:22,319 Speaker 21: think people want women to go into space. But it 675 00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:24,200 Speaker 21: was just the women that they chose. I mean Lauren 676 00:37:24,280 --> 00:37:26,840 Speaker 21: Sanchez because she's dating Jeff Bezos, she gets to be 677 00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:29,160 Speaker 21: one of the women that goes up there. And you know, 678 00:37:29,520 --> 00:37:32,319 Speaker 21: it's just this is what we get. There's people that 679 00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:35,680 Speaker 21: are starving out there, the middle classes literally shrinking every 680 00:37:35,719 --> 00:37:38,640 Speaker 21: single second, and the billionaire elites are more interested in 681 00:37:38,680 --> 00:37:41,480 Speaker 21: sending their girlfriends up to space than actually helping the 682 00:37:41,480 --> 00:37:44,080 Speaker 21: American people. So I'm happy that Elon Musk is using 683 00:37:44,120 --> 00:37:47,359 Speaker 21: his billionaire power to give us some more government transparency. 684 00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:48,920 Speaker 21: Some of these guys need to use their power for 685 00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:52,560 Speaker 21: good and not wasting, you know, rocket fuel to send 686 00:37:52,560 --> 00:37:54,960 Speaker 21: these women into space. That Let's be real, Katy Perry 687 00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:56,359 Speaker 21: doesn't know what to do in space. What are they 688 00:37:56,400 --> 00:37:59,920 Speaker 21: testing ozimpic and zero G silicone and zero G gravity. 689 00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:02,279 Speaker 13: They don't need this. It's a waste reading this. 690 00:38:04,320 --> 00:38:06,520 Speaker 1: Well, if they actually did those tests, it could have 691 00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:08,000 Speaker 1: been a worthwhile exerciser. 692 00:38:08,120 --> 00:38:09,399 Speaker 5: Alex Stein, always a. 693 00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:11,760 Speaker 13: Pleasure, Thank you reader. 694 00:38:12,040 --> 00:38:13,120 Speaker 5: Still to come, we'll. 695 00:38:12,960 --> 00:38:16,600 Speaker 1: Discuss the first hundred days of Donald Trump's second term. 696 00:38:16,719 --> 00:38:18,440 Speaker 5: Corey DeAngelis joins me. 697 00:38:18,520 --> 00:38:18,880 Speaker 7: Next. 698 00:38:28,440 --> 00:38:29,200 Speaker 5: Welcome back. 699 00:38:29,280 --> 00:38:32,000 Speaker 1: Now, President Donald Trump is touted the first one hundred 700 00:38:32,080 --> 00:38:35,439 Speaker 1: days of his second term as the most successful of 701 00:38:35,480 --> 00:38:40,040 Speaker 1: any administration. Speaking at the Michigan National Guard, the President 702 00:38:40,120 --> 00:38:42,680 Speaker 1: also spoke about the enormous boost in the number of 703 00:38:42,760 --> 00:38:46,320 Speaker 1: Americans wanting to join the armed forces since his election 704 00:38:46,480 --> 00:38:47,760 Speaker 1: tribe last November. 705 00:38:48,160 --> 00:38:52,040 Speaker 17: Since November, enlistment numbers for every branch of the armed 706 00:38:52,080 --> 00:38:56,200 Speaker 17: forces have surged. Recruitment is now the highest it's been 707 00:38:56,320 --> 00:38:59,719 Speaker 17: in thirty nine years. This goes not only for the 708 00:38:59,800 --> 00:39:03,200 Speaker 17: armed forces, for the police, for firemen. People are proud 709 00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:06,799 Speaker 17: of our country again, big difference. But we had the 710 00:39:06,840 --> 00:39:10,360 Speaker 17: worst numbers that we've ever had. Virtually we couldn't get anybody, 711 00:39:10,360 --> 00:39:13,800 Speaker 17: and now we're overstocked. We have waiting lists of people 712 00:39:13,840 --> 00:39:16,279 Speaker 17: wanting to sign up and be with the military. They're 713 00:39:16,320 --> 00:39:19,920 Speaker 17: proud of our country again. And I'll be supporting a 714 00:39:20,040 --> 00:39:23,720 Speaker 17: record setting one trillion dollar investment in our national defense. 715 00:39:23,760 --> 00:39:26,200 Speaker 17: We're going to go one trillion dollars, the largest in 716 00:39:26,239 --> 00:39:27,759 Speaker 17: the world, largest ever. 717 00:39:28,080 --> 00:39:29,360 Speaker 5: One trillion dollars. 718 00:39:29,440 --> 00:39:32,759 Speaker 1: Joining me now as American Culture Project Senior fellow and 719 00:39:32,800 --> 00:39:38,600 Speaker 1: school choice advocate Corey DeAngelis, Corey has been an extraordinary 720 00:39:38,719 --> 00:39:43,120 Speaker 1: hundred days. The President has set a furious pace. It's 721 00:39:43,160 --> 00:39:46,720 Speaker 1: been called a counter revolution. And one of the early 722 00:39:46,840 --> 00:39:51,440 Speaker 1: signs of this was the boost in recruitment numbers. Institutions 723 00:39:51,480 --> 00:39:54,880 Speaker 1: that were struggling to find recruits, the military, the FBI, 724 00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:58,920 Speaker 1: the police force, they're now flooded with applications. 725 00:39:59,600 --> 00:40:00,839 Speaker 5: Why do you I think that is. 726 00:40:02,880 --> 00:40:03,040 Speaker 7: Well. 727 00:40:03,080 --> 00:40:07,520 Speaker 23: The Trump administration inspires confidence. The American First agenda is 728 00:40:07,560 --> 00:40:11,439 Speaker 23: popular with the American public, and Trump just makes people 729 00:40:11,480 --> 00:40:13,360 Speaker 23: feel proud to be venom again. 730 00:40:13,440 --> 00:40:14,880 Speaker 8: This is the golden age. 731 00:40:14,640 --> 00:40:17,960 Speaker 23: Of America in education and throughout the rest of the 732 00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:20,799 Speaker 23: country as well. Pete Hegseat is a great leader. He 733 00:40:20,920 --> 00:40:24,799 Speaker 23: was chosen to be the Secretary of Defense. So when 734 00:40:24,840 --> 00:40:27,040 Speaker 23: you have people that are proud of their country, when 735 00:40:27,040 --> 00:40:33,720 Speaker 23: you don't have DEI ideology infesting all the institutions, become 736 00:40:33,800 --> 00:40:36,839 Speaker 23: proud of those institutions. Again, it's based on merit, and 737 00:40:36,920 --> 00:40:39,600 Speaker 23: so when you become a soldier, you're happy to be 738 00:40:39,719 --> 00:40:42,000 Speaker 23: there and you want to brag about it to your colleagues. 739 00:40:42,040 --> 00:40:44,439 Speaker 23: I saw this in the I do education work. When 740 00:40:44,480 --> 00:40:48,359 Speaker 23: people first heard that Trump won election in a landslide 741 00:40:48,719 --> 00:40:52,160 Speaker 23: in November, they're calling me asking how can I be 742 00:40:52,200 --> 00:40:54,400 Speaker 23: out of this? I want to be in the Trump administration. 743 00:40:54,560 --> 00:40:57,160 Speaker 23: I want to the Department of Education and try to 744 00:40:57,160 --> 00:41:00,279 Speaker 23: dismantle it from within. And this is like unlike anything 745 00:41:00,320 --> 00:41:02,880 Speaker 23: I've ever seen before. So there's just more of the 746 00:41:02,920 --> 00:41:06,320 Speaker 23: momentum continue throughout that one hundred days. 747 00:41:07,960 --> 00:41:10,840 Speaker 1: Well, we're going to talk about the Department of Education shortly, 748 00:41:11,080 --> 00:41:15,000 Speaker 1: but let's focus on lawfare for a second. We saw 749 00:41:15,040 --> 00:41:18,040 Speaker 1: plenty of lawfare in the lead up to the election 750 00:41:18,200 --> 00:41:21,480 Speaker 1: and really has not stopped since. The efforts to frustrate 751 00:41:21,680 --> 00:41:26,960 Speaker 1: every Trump policy, particularly the deportation program, is in full swing. 752 00:41:27,120 --> 00:41:32,120 Speaker 1: Democrat appointed activist judges have been particularly active. Late last week, 753 00:41:32,160 --> 00:41:35,760 Speaker 1: we had Judge William Morrick of the US District Court 754 00:41:35,840 --> 00:41:39,920 Speaker 1: for the Northern District of California issuing a ruling stating 755 00:41:39,960 --> 00:41:44,120 Speaker 1: President Trump's executive orders against sanctuary cities. He said they 756 00:41:44,160 --> 00:41:48,800 Speaker 1: were unconstitutional. He blocked the Trump administration from cutting funding 757 00:41:48,840 --> 00:41:53,240 Speaker 1: to sanctuary cities. Now Fox News reports this particular judge, 758 00:41:53,280 --> 00:41:58,319 Speaker 1: this Obama appointed judge, has deep financial ties to the 759 00:41:58,400 --> 00:42:02,800 Speaker 1: Democratic Party, has spoken and events in support of Kamala 760 00:42:02,920 --> 00:42:05,680 Speaker 1: Harris and Barack Obama, and he's even held. 761 00:42:05,600 --> 00:42:08,080 Speaker 5: Leadership roles on committees to. 762 00:42:08,080 --> 00:42:13,480 Speaker 1: Help elect Obama and John Kerry and let's before I 763 00:42:13,520 --> 00:42:15,600 Speaker 1: get your response, let's have a look at how bad 764 00:42:15,680 --> 00:42:17,520 Speaker 1: the situation is in California. 765 00:42:17,719 --> 00:42:21,680 Speaker 12: Just how many accused criminal migrants are in sanctuary jurisdictions 766 00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:24,960 Speaker 12: that have been released onto the streets. All these are 767 00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:28,920 Speaker 12: sanctuary cities Virginia, but at the very top, and I 768 00:42:28,960 --> 00:42:35,400 Speaker 12: think this tells a telling stories detainers rejected locally thirteen 769 00:42:35,480 --> 00:42:37,959 Speaker 12: thousand for the entire state of California. 770 00:42:38,520 --> 00:42:38,880 Speaker 7: Corey. 771 00:42:39,160 --> 00:42:43,560 Speaker 1: It seems mad, but Californians keep voting for this lawlessness. 772 00:42:45,880 --> 00:42:48,200 Speaker 23: Yeah, and in some cases s even worse than that, 773 00:42:48,239 --> 00:42:52,280 Speaker 23: where you have judicial activism at its worst from judge 774 00:42:52,400 --> 00:42:57,399 Speaker 23: or giving over one hundred thousand dollars to Democrat politicians 775 00:42:57,440 --> 00:43:01,640 Speaker 23: like Obama Hillary Clinton. And we'd hope that judges would 776 00:43:01,640 --> 00:43:05,799 Speaker 23: be non biased, nonpartisan, but the reality is sometimes they 777 00:43:05,840 --> 00:43:09,880 Speaker 23: are less accountable than elected officials because they're appointed and 778 00:43:10,160 --> 00:43:12,920 Speaker 23: if they go against the will of the people, you 779 00:43:12,960 --> 00:43:15,720 Speaker 23: can't kick them out of office. So it's a huge problem. 780 00:43:15,719 --> 00:43:17,839 Speaker 23: We see this with school choice programs too. We had 781 00:43:17,880 --> 00:43:23,520 Speaker 23: an activist judge in West Virginia to stop a school 782 00:43:23,600 --> 00:43:25,880 Speaker 23: choice program a couple of years ago. She was funded 783 00:43:25,880 --> 00:43:29,440 Speaker 23: by the teachers unions previously endorsed by the teachers unions. 784 00:43:29,920 --> 00:43:32,200 Speaker 23: And now you know, in some cases it has to 785 00:43:32,239 --> 00:43:34,520 Speaker 23: get You have to ask yourself, how bad does it 786 00:43:34,560 --> 00:43:38,759 Speaker 23: have to get before things change. California has hit rock bottom, 787 00:43:39,040 --> 00:43:41,839 Speaker 23: and at some point the voters have to figure these 788 00:43:41,880 --> 00:43:45,640 Speaker 23: things out and see that the GOP Trump's party is 789 00:43:45,760 --> 00:43:49,640 Speaker 23: leading the way towards prosperity and freedom. And so hopefully 790 00:43:49,719 --> 00:43:53,040 Speaker 23: the more of this judicial activism, the more that California 791 00:43:53,120 --> 00:43:57,759 Speaker 23: keeps electing these politicians who are authoritarians who want to 792 00:43:57,760 --> 00:44:00,720 Speaker 23: control your lives, at some point they're going to reverse 793 00:44:00,760 --> 00:44:05,239 Speaker 23: force and maybe they'll start backpeddling, or some point Republicans 794 00:44:05,280 --> 00:44:06,760 Speaker 23: will start to win worses. 795 00:44:09,320 --> 00:44:13,000 Speaker 1: Now, let's look at the US Department of Education. Their 796 00:44:13,040 --> 00:44:18,040 Speaker 1: Office for Civil Rights is launch an investigation into Chicago 797 00:44:18,160 --> 00:44:22,240 Speaker 1: Public schools for an academic achievement initiative called a Black 798 00:44:22,400 --> 00:44:27,040 Speaker 1: Students Success Plan that discriminates on the basis of race. 799 00:44:27,040 --> 00:44:29,000 Speaker 5: Well, it's kind of in the name, isn't it. Corey, 800 00:44:29,440 --> 00:44:31,000 Speaker 5: tell me what's the latest on this. 801 00:44:33,920 --> 00:44:37,640 Speaker 23: It's a trogious it's a direct violation of Article six 802 00:44:37,640 --> 00:44:41,200 Speaker 23: of the Civil Rights Act in the United States. And look, 803 00:44:41,239 --> 00:44:43,960 Speaker 23: they're discriminating on the basis of race. That's school system's 804 00:44:43,960 --> 00:44:47,759 Speaker 23: failing kids of all different backgrounds, Black, white, Hispanic, and 805 00:44:47,800 --> 00:44:50,160 Speaker 23: so on and so forth. They should try to improve 806 00:44:50,200 --> 00:44:53,120 Speaker 23: outcomes for everybody and not single out one group. That 807 00:44:53,239 --> 00:44:58,560 Speaker 23: is a clear violation of civil rights law. And hopefully 808 00:44:58,360 --> 00:45:00,920 Speaker 23: they should lose their funding over the this issue, or 809 00:45:01,080 --> 00:45:05,200 Speaker 23: hopefully they can reverse course and try to up their 810 00:45:05,360 --> 00:45:08,160 Speaker 23: game and raise the bar for all students. But in 811 00:45:08,280 --> 00:45:12,279 Speaker 23: Chicago you have six percent of black kids that are 812 00:45:12,320 --> 00:45:16,640 Speaker 23: reading proficiently. I mean, it's a failure factory of a system, 813 00:45:16,880 --> 00:45:20,480 Speaker 23: and they're spending thirty dollars per yet per year. Things 814 00:45:20,520 --> 00:45:25,440 Speaker 23: need to change. School choice would provide some competition for improvement. 815 00:45:27,680 --> 00:45:31,240 Speaker 1: Well, Chicago is really an example of what not to do, because, 816 00:45:31,239 --> 00:45:36,160 Speaker 1: as you said, they are spending an enormous amount per student. 817 00:45:35,880 --> 00:45:39,200 Speaker 5: And the results are abysmal. 818 00:45:39,600 --> 00:45:42,279 Speaker 1: It really is hard to see how you could have 819 00:45:42,480 --> 00:45:47,440 Speaker 1: results that are so appalling given the expenditure, giving the 820 00:45:48,160 --> 00:45:52,360 Speaker 1: programs that they've supposedly have come out to address this issue. 821 00:45:53,360 --> 00:45:56,719 Speaker 1: And yeah, if you want to do well academically, do 822 00:45:56,880 --> 00:46:01,200 Speaker 1: the opposite off Chicago. Now, you wrote a piece in 823 00:46:01,280 --> 00:46:05,600 Speaker 1: the National Review about the battleful school choice, particularly when 824 00:46:05,640 --> 00:46:10,040 Speaker 1: it comes to rural families. You say they want educational 825 00:46:10,120 --> 00:46:12,840 Speaker 1: freedom and they're voting for it at the ballot box. 826 00:46:13,480 --> 00:46:15,400 Speaker 5: Tell me why this battle matters. 827 00:46:17,680 --> 00:46:17,839 Speaker 12: Yeah. 828 00:46:17,920 --> 00:46:20,440 Speaker 23: For a long time, the tears unions knew they couldn't 829 00:46:20,480 --> 00:46:25,960 Speaker 23: make let leaning arguments Democrat arguments in red states. They 830 00:46:25,960 --> 00:46:28,920 Speaker 23: had to come up with some so called conservative arguments 831 00:46:29,120 --> 00:46:31,360 Speaker 23: to stop school choice, and one of them, including my 832 00:46:31,400 --> 00:46:34,640 Speaker 23: home state of Texas, was that rural voters don't want this. 833 00:46:34,719 --> 00:46:37,240 Speaker 23: We don't have a lot of private schools in rural areas. 834 00:46:37,320 --> 00:46:41,400 Speaker 23: The public schools the only option, and therefore it's okay 835 00:46:41,440 --> 00:46:42,959 Speaker 23: for you to vote with the Democrats. 836 00:46:43,000 --> 00:46:44,760 Speaker 5: But the oldest. 837 00:46:44,400 --> 00:46:47,280 Speaker 23: Voucher programs in the United States started over one hundred 838 00:46:47,280 --> 00:46:50,560 Speaker 23: and fifty year old in places like Maine in Vermont, 839 00:46:50,600 --> 00:46:54,080 Speaker 23: where they were specifically designed for kids in rural areas. 840 00:46:54,400 --> 00:46:56,480 Speaker 23: They figured out, if you don't have a lot of choices, 841 00:46:56,520 --> 00:47:00,239 Speaker 23: a lot of opportunities, that's an argument to expand freedom 842 00:47:00,280 --> 00:47:03,719 Speaker 23: an education, not to restrict this. So they gave scholarships 843 00:47:03,760 --> 00:47:05,920 Speaker 23: to kids to go to private schools that they wanted. 844 00:47:06,200 --> 00:47:09,319 Speaker 23: And the victories this year prove it too that rural 845 00:47:09,400 --> 00:47:14,319 Speaker 23: voters want school choice. They voted out the rhinos in 846 00:47:14,400 --> 00:47:17,600 Speaker 23: office who voted against their party platform, who voted with 847 00:47:17,640 --> 00:47:20,480 Speaker 23: the Democrats, they held them accountable at the ballot box. 848 00:47:20,880 --> 00:47:23,719 Speaker 23: And now you have states like Texas who went all 849 00:47:23,760 --> 00:47:27,440 Speaker 23: in on school choice, Tennessee, Wyoming, and so on and 850 00:47:27,480 --> 00:47:30,520 Speaker 23: so forth. Rural areas are passing school choice left and 851 00:47:30,600 --> 00:47:33,480 Speaker 23: right in the United States, which really just debunks the 852 00:47:33,520 --> 00:47:36,799 Speaker 23: claim that rural voters don't want this. They absolutely do. 853 00:47:38,120 --> 00:47:40,799 Speaker 1: It's a huge it's a huge issue, and I've seen 854 00:47:40,840 --> 00:47:43,560 Speaker 1: that on the ground in the US. Is an issue 855 00:47:43,600 --> 00:47:47,960 Speaker 1: that really gets people motivated. Even people who weren't particularly 856 00:47:48,719 --> 00:47:52,239 Speaker 1: politically active in the past will do this because it's 857 00:47:52,239 --> 00:47:54,760 Speaker 1: in the interest of their children. It has an enormous 858 00:47:54,760 --> 00:47:59,359 Speaker 1: impact on the children's future prospects.
