<v Speaker 1>On scorn Lands Australia.

0:00:05.240 --> 0:00:07.280
<v Speaker 2>This is the Wader Panicky Show.

0:00:09.280 --> 0:00:12.040
<v Speaker 3>Good evening and welcome to the reader Panicky Show. Coming

0:00:12.119 --> 0:00:16.720
<v Speaker 3>up tonight. Your taxes funding neither classes for bureaucrats. Patrick

0:00:16.760 --> 0:00:19.520
<v Speaker 3>Carline will be here to discuss that and much more.

0:00:20.079 --> 0:00:21.680
<v Speaker 4>The politicization of the.

0:00:21.640 --> 0:00:25.520
<v Speaker 3>Australian curriculum is back in the headlines, including a requirement

0:00:25.560 --> 0:00:29.320
<v Speaker 3>to incorporate indiculous dance into MAT's classes.

0:00:29.920 --> 0:00:31.200
<v Speaker 4>Colleen Harkin joins me.

0:00:31.360 --> 0:00:36.840
<v Speaker 3>Shortly, the back between President Trump and cos Zelenski intensifies

0:00:36.920 --> 0:00:39.720
<v Speaker 3>as the Ukrainian leader declares the end of the war

0:00:39.960 --> 0:00:44.520
<v Speaker 3>is very far away. Kosher Gator will break down their

0:00:44.640 --> 0:00:47.640
<v Speaker 3>latest and later in the hour they always droll. Alex

0:00:47.680 --> 0:00:50.640
<v Speaker 3>Stein will bring us some good news from the US

0:00:50.680 --> 0:00:54.400
<v Speaker 3>southern border. The illegal immigration crisis is over.

0:00:55.200 --> 0:00:56.360
<v Speaker 4>To take long, did it?

0:00:56.760 --> 0:00:59.880
<v Speaker 3>And of course your favorite segment and mine left his

0:01:00.120 --> 0:01:05.080
<v Speaker 3>losing it featuring the most nominated film at yesterday's Oscars,

0:01:05.160 --> 0:01:09.399
<v Speaker 3>a Mexican musical about a transgender cartel leader.

0:01:10.080 --> 0:01:11.400
<v Speaker 4>I wish I was kidding.

0:01:11.640 --> 0:01:15.680
<v Speaker 2>Man to woman from Pstuina.

0:01:16.880 --> 0:01:21.920
<v Speaker 4>Is it for you for Me? Yes?

0:01:22.080 --> 0:01:25.800
<v Speaker 3>That got thirteen nominations. Can't imagine why people aren't going

0:01:25.840 --> 0:01:26.959
<v Speaker 3>to the movies nowadays.

0:01:27.280 --> 0:01:30.279
<v Speaker 4>But let's start with the Day's a big stories.

0:01:29.840 --> 0:01:32.800
<v Speaker 3>And the same fringe indigenous group that brought down the

0:01:32.959 --> 0:01:36.400
<v Speaker 3>billion dollar Regis gold mine has now set its sights

0:01:36.440 --> 0:01:40.600
<v Speaker 3>on Mount Panama Rama, the home of the iconic Bathurst

0:01:40.640 --> 0:01:45.680
<v Speaker 3>one thousand. The Worried Jury Traditional Owner's Central West Aboriginal

0:01:45.720 --> 0:01:49.320
<v Speaker 3>Corporation launched a bid to have the peak of Mount

0:01:49.360 --> 0:01:55.160
<v Speaker 3>Panorama declared a sacred State Heritage site after its scattered

0:01:55.160 --> 0:01:58.920
<v Speaker 3>the ashes of former member Uncle Brian Grant there in

0:01:59.040 --> 0:02:03.520
<v Speaker 3>late twenty two. Bathurst A Local Aboriginal Land Council Chief

0:02:03.560 --> 0:02:07.520
<v Speaker 3>Executive Tony Lee Scott has hit out at this rebel group,

0:02:07.600 --> 0:02:11.959
<v Speaker 3>saying the proposal had been made without informing the Land

0:02:12.040 --> 0:02:16.440
<v Speaker 3>Council even though it is the legislated cultural authority.

0:02:16.040 --> 0:02:16.840
<v Speaker 4>Of that region.

0:02:16.880 --> 0:02:21.840
<v Speaker 3>The local Aboriginal Land Council had criticized Tanier Plibask last

0:02:21.919 --> 0:02:25.359
<v Speaker 3>year when she used the fringe group submission to block

0:02:25.440 --> 0:02:29.560
<v Speaker 3>the Regious gold mine that will cost the hundreds of

0:02:29.600 --> 0:02:32.440
<v Speaker 3>well paying jobs for that region, as well as around

0:02:32.480 --> 0:02:35.640
<v Speaker 3>two hundred million dollars in royalties.

0:02:35.000 --> 0:02:36.200
<v Speaker 4>For New South Wales.

0:02:36.639 --> 0:02:38.920
<v Speaker 3>Joining me now for more on this is News Corps

0:02:38.960 --> 0:02:42.440
<v Speaker 3>Senior writer Patrick Carli and Patrick, will we see the

0:02:42.520 --> 0:02:46.040
<v Speaker 3>minister side with this fringe group again? I do wonder,

0:02:46.040 --> 0:02:50.360
<v Speaker 3>And if scattering ashes in twenty twenty two is going

0:02:50.440 --> 0:02:55.400
<v Speaker 3>to be grounds for declaring an area an Indigenous heritage site,

0:02:55.520 --> 0:02:58.239
<v Speaker 3>then I can see that causing a few issues.

0:02:58.600 --> 0:03:02.000
<v Speaker 5>This is game changing with its audacity, isn't it. When

0:03:02.040 --> 0:03:04.560
<v Speaker 5>you think of sacred, you think ancient, you think of caves,

0:03:04.639 --> 0:03:09.320
<v Speaker 5>you think of trees or whatever. The ashes were scattered

0:03:09.360 --> 0:03:14.160
<v Speaker 5>in twenty twenty two, that's two three years ago, basically

0:03:14.800 --> 0:03:17.480
<v Speaker 5>the man's ashes. It wasn't even born or raised in

0:03:17.560 --> 0:03:20.680
<v Speaker 5>bass from what I read. It's such an audacious claim.

0:03:20.840 --> 0:03:23.640
<v Speaker 5>If it is successful, it actually opens the door to

0:03:23.720 --> 0:03:26.680
<v Speaker 5>actually laying ashes wherever and saying this is a sacred

0:03:26.680 --> 0:03:29.239
<v Speaker 5>site because we laid our ashes here last week or

0:03:29.360 --> 0:03:32.720
<v Speaker 5>last year. I mean, it's ridiculous. It is utterly ridiculous.

0:03:32.960 --> 0:03:35.920
<v Speaker 3>Well remains to be seen if there's any other grounds

0:03:35.960 --> 0:03:38.280
<v Speaker 3>for this claim. But as we know with the Region's

0:03:38.360 --> 0:03:42.320
<v Speaker 3>gold mine, we still don't actually know why that was rejected.

0:03:42.400 --> 0:03:46.720
<v Speaker 3>There's really not clarity on that decision. And that was

0:03:46.720 --> 0:03:51.320
<v Speaker 3>such a momentous decision Patrick, A billion dollar project, all

0:03:51.360 --> 0:03:55.000
<v Speaker 3>these well paying jobs for a regional area that desperately

0:03:55.040 --> 0:03:59.120
<v Speaker 3>needs them, and enormous amount of money going to New

0:03:59.160 --> 0:04:00.520
<v Speaker 3>South Wales in loyalties.

0:04:01.080 --> 0:04:02.760
<v Speaker 4>Premier means was a gas.

0:04:03.840 --> 0:04:05.840
<v Speaker 3>The Prime Minister didn't seem to be on board, and

0:04:05.920 --> 0:04:07.880
<v Speaker 3>yet Tania Plebusk made this decision.

0:04:08.000 --> 0:04:10.160
<v Speaker 5>I think anyone who's looked at that closely would be

0:04:10.200 --> 0:04:13.800
<v Speaker 5>a ghast. I mean, the argument was the Blue Banded

0:04:13.880 --> 0:04:16.880
<v Speaker 5>B and the story of the Blue Banded B. Now

0:04:16.920 --> 0:04:19.160
<v Speaker 5>apparently no one can trace that story back any further

0:04:19.200 --> 0:04:20.479
<v Speaker 5>than twenty twenty two.

0:04:20.960 --> 0:04:24.560
<v Speaker 4>Again, twenty twenty two.

0:04:26.279 --> 0:04:30.960
<v Speaker 5>Beggars belief that these massive projects that do they provide jobs,

0:04:31.000 --> 0:04:34.560
<v Speaker 5>they provide royalties, Everything was done properly in terms of

0:04:34.600 --> 0:04:38.440
<v Speaker 5>the application at the twelve hour basically was kibosh over

0:04:38.480 --> 0:04:41.719
<v Speaker 5>a story which honestly sounds like it's complete nonsense.

0:04:42.200 --> 0:04:46.680
<v Speaker 3>Well, even people within the indigenous community, people associated with

0:04:47.120 --> 0:04:51.120
<v Speaker 3>the Visual Land Council, have come to that determination, but

0:04:52.320 --> 0:04:54.239
<v Speaker 3>the Minister has sided with this group.

0:04:54.320 --> 0:04:55.720
<v Speaker 4>So here we are now.

0:04:55.760 --> 0:04:58.560
<v Speaker 3>It's been revealed that the federal government has spent more

0:04:58.600 --> 0:05:03.600
<v Speaker 3>than twenty five thousand on drama classes for just thirteen

0:05:03.920 --> 0:05:07.760
<v Speaker 3>Services of Australia employees in an effort to teach them

0:05:07.839 --> 0:05:10.320
<v Speaker 3>how to communicate with empathy.

0:05:11.000 --> 0:05:14.760
<v Speaker 4>The government agency listed the National Institute of.

0:05:14.839 --> 0:05:18.760
<v Speaker 3>Dramatic Arts neither to provide the training for its top

0:05:18.839 --> 0:05:22.800
<v Speaker 3>ranking leaders across two days. So that's that's pretty good.

0:05:22.880 --> 0:05:25.400
<v Speaker 3>That's twenty five thousand dollars for a couple of days.

0:05:25.480 --> 0:05:28.880
<v Speaker 3>Probably was a nice little junket or away from the office.

0:05:29.920 --> 0:05:31.120
<v Speaker 4>Not a great use of our money.

0:05:31.120 --> 0:05:34.040
<v Speaker 3>I wouldn't have thought, surely you can communicate with empathy

0:05:34.080 --> 0:05:38.680
<v Speaker 3>without prancing around in a nier class, probably doing interpretive dance.

0:05:39.560 --> 0:05:41.920
<v Speaker 5>I was on the phone to Services Australia this morning

0:05:42.040 --> 0:05:45.360
<v Speaker 5>just oh were they They were not very empathetic. I

0:05:45.400 --> 0:05:47.600
<v Speaker 5>don't think it's working. So they're not getting banged for

0:05:47.640 --> 0:05:51.000
<v Speaker 5>their buck. Look, I think the fact it's twelve people,

0:05:51.120 --> 0:05:53.480
<v Speaker 5>Look it was for one hundred people or one hundred

0:05:53.480 --> 0:05:56.240
<v Speaker 5>managers or whatever. You'd sort of say, well, well, possibly

0:05:57.320 --> 0:06:00.360
<v Speaker 5>this is ridiculous. And you've got Services Australia doesn't provide

0:06:00.440 --> 0:06:03.240
<v Speaker 5>very good services, and you had the story not long ago.

0:06:03.320 --> 0:06:05.680
<v Speaker 5>I think last year with a speech writer was being

0:06:05.720 --> 0:06:08.480
<v Speaker 5>paid three hundred thousand dollars a year for speech writing,

0:06:08.560 --> 0:06:12.240
<v Speaker 5>which is miles above the odds. This does not pass

0:06:12.320 --> 0:06:13.760
<v Speaker 5>any pub test whatsoever.

0:06:14.080 --> 0:06:17.920
<v Speaker 3>I tell you the public service, it's a different world entirely.

0:06:18.640 --> 0:06:21.480
<v Speaker 3>Now it's looking like Victoria is going to have more

0:06:21.520 --> 0:06:25.080
<v Speaker 3>bad policy, perhaps three more decades. Of the state's transported

0:06:25.160 --> 0:06:28.560
<v Speaker 3>infrastructure blueprint for the next thirty years.

0:06:28.400 --> 0:06:30.640
<v Speaker 4>Is calling for slashing.

0:06:30.360 --> 0:06:34.560
<v Speaker 3>Speed limits to just thirty kilometers an hour in local streets.

0:06:34.920 --> 0:06:39.440
<v Speaker 3>He wants to expand desalination plant capacity, build more tunnels.

0:06:39.880 --> 0:06:42.919
<v Speaker 4>Patrick. The projects here are extensive.

0:06:43.000 --> 0:06:46.080
<v Speaker 3>The cost has been put around seventy five billion dollars.

0:06:47.279 --> 0:06:50.080
<v Speaker 3>But I've got to question the wisdom of anybody putting

0:06:50.080 --> 0:06:52.840
<v Speaker 3>this plan together, who thinks it's fantastic to have thirty

0:06:53.120 --> 0:06:57.960
<v Speaker 3>kilometer limits across town. What's the point? Might as well

0:06:58.000 --> 0:06:59.799
<v Speaker 3>be out there, I don't know, going for a jog.

0:07:00.520 --> 0:07:06.359
<v Speaker 3>It's making the use of cars almost a nuisance.

0:07:06.400 --> 0:07:08.120
<v Speaker 4>If you have to go, you've got these Some of.

0:07:08.040 --> 0:07:10.960
<v Speaker 3>These streets are white boulevards and you're crawling along at

0:07:11.000 --> 0:07:11.840
<v Speaker 3>thirty kilometers.

0:07:12.120 --> 0:07:14.480
<v Speaker 5>It's the Nanny State gone mad.

0:07:14.520 --> 0:07:14.720
<v Speaker 6>Really.

0:07:14.800 --> 0:07:17.280
<v Speaker 5>I mean, I've driven down streets in Collingwood in the

0:07:17.360 --> 0:07:19.600
<v Speaker 5>north of Melbourne that are thirty kilometers an hour and

0:07:19.640 --> 0:07:21.560
<v Speaker 5>you can barely get up the speed hunt to get

0:07:21.880 --> 0:07:26.680
<v Speaker 5>over the other side. This is Look, I think the

0:07:26.720 --> 0:07:28.640
<v Speaker 5>big thing here is the fact that we've got no money.

0:07:28.960 --> 0:07:31.600
<v Speaker 5>I mean, Victoria's can't really afford a one year plan

0:07:31.680 --> 0:07:34.320
<v Speaker 5>at this stage if you're talking about seventy five billion

0:07:34.360 --> 0:07:38.119
<v Speaker 5>dollars for all these expenses, and it includes extending tram

0:07:38.240 --> 0:07:41.320
<v Speaker 5>routes and all sorts of things that are fairly controversial

0:07:41.400 --> 0:07:45.400
<v Speaker 5>or have a massive impact. Yes, cars obviously are second

0:07:45.640 --> 0:07:49.520
<v Speaker 5>and drivers a second class citizens. Now you can't get around,

0:07:50.360 --> 0:07:53.560
<v Speaker 5>and it's all about sort of pedestrian safety or whatever. Well,

0:07:54.200 --> 0:07:56.640
<v Speaker 5>there are all sorts of ways to have better safety

0:07:56.680 --> 0:07:59.600
<v Speaker 5>for pedestrians. Driving at the same rate as you could

0:07:59.600 --> 0:08:02.080
<v Speaker 5>on escape is not really the first pick, is it.

0:08:02.560 --> 0:08:04.960
<v Speaker 3>And you know what a good safety measure for pedestrians

0:08:05.080 --> 0:08:07.520
<v Speaker 3>is is not stepping in front of cars. Yes, so

0:08:07.560 --> 0:08:10.720
<v Speaker 3>that's something that has always worked for me, something that

0:08:10.760 --> 0:08:17.440
<v Speaker 3>perhaps could be taught at school. Now, before you go

0:08:17.520 --> 0:08:20.040
<v Speaker 3>and ask you about the Alan government here in Victoria,

0:08:20.040 --> 0:08:22.400
<v Speaker 3>they're just sent to Alan government trying to keep twenty

0:08:22.480 --> 0:08:28.960
<v Speaker 3>nine documents detailing complaints about CFMU misconduct on Victoria's big

0:08:29.000 --> 0:08:32.440
<v Speaker 3>build road and rail projects secret. They want to keep

0:08:32.480 --> 0:08:37.120
<v Speaker 3>this secret. With a Victorian Infrastructure Development Authority, the public

0:08:37.240 --> 0:08:41.560
<v Speaker 3>service unit running the projects is refusing to release them

0:08:41.760 --> 0:08:45.200
<v Speaker 3>to the press. The Australian newspaper has been trying to

0:08:45.200 --> 0:08:48.600
<v Speaker 3>get hold of this under the freedom of information laws,

0:08:49.080 --> 0:08:54.200
<v Speaker 3>but they're suppressing here seventeen other documents as well. We

0:08:54.240 --> 0:08:57.520
<v Speaker 3>are in the suppression state. Victoria has been called that.

0:08:57.679 --> 0:09:00.560
<v Speaker 4>But why would we not want to know.

0:09:00.480 --> 0:09:03.920
<v Speaker 3>What's happening on the big build projects, these projects that

0:09:03.960 --> 0:09:07.040
<v Speaker 3>are over budget, taking way longer than we were told.

0:09:07.440 --> 0:09:08.760
<v Speaker 4>Surely we should know what's happening.

0:09:08.880 --> 0:09:11.720
<v Speaker 5>Absolutely. Look, it's probably tens of billions of dollars that

0:09:11.760 --> 0:09:15.240
<v Speaker 5>has been sort of potentially misused here. We are entitled

0:09:15.240 --> 0:09:18.920
<v Speaker 5>to know exactly how this money got used. We know

0:09:18.960 --> 0:09:22.679
<v Speaker 5>that the CFMEAU, whether it's Queensland or Victoria, the price

0:09:22.720 --> 0:09:25.200
<v Speaker 5>of their projects that they work on a twenty five

0:09:25.240 --> 0:09:28.000
<v Speaker 5>to thirty percent more. What struck me about this story.

0:09:28.040 --> 0:09:31.000
<v Speaker 5>It's a very good story. I think the surveyor has

0:09:31.000 --> 0:09:33.840
<v Speaker 5>had a meeting which is sent to Allen and she

0:09:34.000 --> 0:09:36.480
<v Speaker 5>was very sympathetic and said, I understand there are delays

0:09:36.920 --> 0:09:39.560
<v Speaker 5>and so on, but I'm powerless to actually do anything

0:09:39.600 --> 0:09:44.440
<v Speaker 5>about it. This is the politician who actually administrates billions

0:09:44.480 --> 0:09:47.960
<v Speaker 5>of dollars, actually saying, well, I can't do anything about this,

0:09:48.200 --> 0:09:50.840
<v Speaker 5>and when it goes to the depth of the extortion

0:09:51.160 --> 0:09:54.959
<v Speaker 5>and the stronger tactics that have been applied for so long.

0:09:55.400 --> 0:09:58.560
<v Speaker 4>It's victoria for you. Patrick Carline, thanks for your time tonight.

0:09:59.440 --> 0:10:02.920
<v Speaker 3>Joining me is Institute of Public Affairs Research Fellow and

0:10:02.960 --> 0:10:08.160
<v Speaker 3>director of the IPA's Schools Program, Colleen Harken. Colleen, let's

0:10:08.200 --> 0:10:12.520
<v Speaker 3>talk about the Australian curriculum. Analysis of the curriculum shows

0:10:13.000 --> 0:10:16.320
<v Speaker 3>of the more than twenty four hundred lesson suggestions and

0:10:16.360 --> 0:10:21.679
<v Speaker 3>the revised curriculum, three quarters relate to Aboriginal antres Strait

0:10:21.760 --> 0:10:23.960
<v Speaker 3>Islander history and culture.

0:10:24.280 --> 0:10:26.319
<v Speaker 4>And it even mandates that.

0:10:26.440 --> 0:10:33.520
<v Speaker 3>Maths teachers incorporate Indigenous dance and storytelling into maths classes.

0:10:34.360 --> 0:10:38.119
<v Speaker 4>What more can you tell me about this revised curriculum.

0:10:39.440 --> 0:10:42.360
<v Speaker 3>It seems to be even more preoccupied with race and

0:10:42.480 --> 0:10:45.199
<v Speaker 3>climate and even more politicized.

0:10:45.679 --> 0:10:48.760
<v Speaker 1>It is so the National Curriculum is a body called

0:10:48.760 --> 0:10:52.200
<v Speaker 1>a Current that sets the national curriculum and it prioritizes

0:10:52.240 --> 0:10:54.840
<v Speaker 1>and it says its priority is Aboriginal and torres Straate

0:10:54.920 --> 0:10:59.480
<v Speaker 1>Islanders histories and culture, and sustainability, which is climate change, diversity, equity, inclusion,

0:10:59.480 --> 0:11:02.880
<v Speaker 1>all that kind of activist agender and it mandates that

0:11:02.920 --> 0:11:07.080
<v Speaker 1>it's in every subject, every year level, every opportunity. So

0:11:07.559 --> 0:11:11.720
<v Speaker 1>it's not just maths, it's physic it's art, it's science,

0:11:11.880 --> 0:11:15.000
<v Speaker 1>it's every single subject, every year level. The child is

0:11:15.040 --> 0:11:18.480
<v Speaker 1>exposed to this kind of activism within the curriculum.

0:11:17.960 --> 0:11:19.120
<v Speaker 4>And it's mandated.

0:11:19.160 --> 0:11:22.319
<v Speaker 3>It's not like the teachers have a suggestion, you may

0:11:22.720 --> 0:11:23.400
<v Speaker 3>like to do this.

0:11:23.640 --> 0:11:26.199
<v Speaker 1>They have to well, let's sort of what I call

0:11:26.240 --> 0:11:28.960
<v Speaker 1>a market is it states what the what they want

0:11:28.960 --> 0:11:30.480
<v Speaker 1>them to do, and then it gives them a whole

0:11:30.559 --> 0:11:32.760
<v Speaker 1>range of suggestions as to how they might go about

0:11:32.760 --> 0:11:36.199
<v Speaker 1>doing that. Okay, but it is mandated that these are priorities.

0:11:36.480 --> 0:11:40.000
<v Speaker 1>It actually specifically says these are the curriculum priorities.

0:11:40.800 --> 0:11:43.440
<v Speaker 3>Oh dear man, Now it seems like no amount of

0:11:43.480 --> 0:11:47.440
<v Speaker 3>activism is even enough. The Australian Human Rights Commission, which

0:11:47.559 --> 0:11:51.120
<v Speaker 3>we of course fund as taxpayers, has scolded schools for

0:11:51.200 --> 0:11:55.120
<v Speaker 3>celebrating Harmony Day on March twenty one, claiming that it

0:11:55.200 --> 0:12:01.240
<v Speaker 3>actually hides long standing systematic racial discrimination and that they

0:12:01.240 --> 0:12:06.680
<v Speaker 3>should rename the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination,

0:12:07.880 --> 0:12:11.640
<v Speaker 3>turning it the day from a protest against racial discrimination

0:12:11.760 --> 0:12:14.280
<v Speaker 3>into a celebration, so that seem to be upset that

0:12:14.679 --> 0:12:18.120
<v Speaker 3>this isn't angry and activist enough.

0:12:18.400 --> 0:12:19.600
<v Speaker 4>It's been celebrated.

0:12:19.679 --> 0:12:24.559
<v Speaker 3>People are celebrating different cultures and foods, and we.

0:12:24.559 --> 0:12:25.680
<v Speaker 4>Can't be happy in school.

0:12:25.679 --> 0:12:29.000
<v Speaker 3>We've just not always have a grievance, always just behating

0:12:29.040 --> 0:12:29.600
<v Speaker 3>the country.

0:12:31.160 --> 0:12:32.800
<v Speaker 4>Tell me about what's happening there.

0:12:32.600 --> 0:12:35.120
<v Speaker 3>And our school's taking notice of this service.

0:12:35.240 --> 0:12:35.480
<v Speaker 7>Yeah.

0:12:35.559 --> 0:12:39.720
<v Speaker 1>So there are about thirteen name days, Aboriginal and Toastrate

0:12:39.760 --> 0:12:43.000
<v Speaker 1>Island name Days, in addition to those cross curriculum priorities

0:12:43.000 --> 0:12:45.960
<v Speaker 1>we just spoke about. Now, Harmony Day in theory is

0:12:46.000 --> 0:12:50.080
<v Speaker 1>a really nice idea that we should celebrate our shared values,

0:12:50.440 --> 0:12:52.920
<v Speaker 1>but that's not what they're aiming at. This is again

0:12:53.000 --> 0:12:55.559
<v Speaker 1>a constant sort of activist agenda to divide us.

0:12:55.760 --> 0:12:57.000
<v Speaker 4>They don't want harmony.

0:12:57.080 --> 0:13:00.400
<v Speaker 1>What they want is this perpetual industry of griev and

0:13:00.440 --> 0:13:04.840
<v Speaker 1>they're teaching the children from very young to be indoctrinated

0:13:05.120 --> 0:13:09.400
<v Speaker 1>to that divisive agenda. We did a research article on

0:13:09.760 --> 0:13:12.920
<v Speaker 1>the Early Learning Framework, which is mandate by the government

0:13:13.040 --> 0:13:15.400
<v Speaker 1>for early learning centers, So we're talking children who are

0:13:15.440 --> 0:13:19.640
<v Speaker 1>literally in nappies who are mandated to doing a daily

0:13:19.679 --> 0:13:22.880
<v Speaker 1>acknowledgment to country to fly an Aboriginal flag.

0:13:23.360 --> 0:13:24.679
<v Speaker 4>And that's how we find.

0:13:24.480 --> 0:13:27.680
<v Speaker 1>Things like in prime in kindergartens where children are walking

0:13:27.679 --> 0:13:30.480
<v Speaker 1>in and touching the ground and saying always was, always

0:13:30.480 --> 0:13:33.400
<v Speaker 1>will be. This agenda is running all the way through

0:13:33.559 --> 0:13:37.680
<v Speaker 1>all of the institutions from the earliest of years, and it.

0:13:37.600 --> 0:13:41.880
<v Speaker 3>Does not stop once high school finishes. Right through the universities,

0:13:41.880 --> 0:13:45.880
<v Speaker 3>and mcquarie University has students been forced to sit through

0:13:45.920 --> 0:13:49.440
<v Speaker 3>a series of far left learning modules and in these

0:13:49.480 --> 0:13:52.240
<v Speaker 3>modules they are reportedly told that if you are living

0:13:52.240 --> 0:13:55.959
<v Speaker 3>in Australia and you are not Aboriginal or Torres Strait islander,

0:13:56.040 --> 0:13:59.600
<v Speaker 3>well you're a settler and deaf, war a guest and

0:13:59.679 --> 0:14:01.840
<v Speaker 3>Colin and I guess I understand then why we need

0:14:01.880 --> 0:14:04.880
<v Speaker 3>to have all these welcome to countries because the message

0:14:04.920 --> 0:14:07.280
<v Speaker 3>there is this isn't really your country.

0:14:07.440 --> 0:14:08.800
<v Speaker 4>It's not very inclusive, is it.

0:14:09.040 --> 0:14:12.400
<v Speaker 3>Well no, I've always said, as a migrant, I see

0:14:12.800 --> 0:14:15.760
<v Speaker 3>these acknowledgment of countries welcome to countries. Not only do

0:14:15.840 --> 0:14:19.120
<v Speaker 3>I see them as incoherent in many cases, but it's

0:14:19.120 --> 0:14:20.440
<v Speaker 3>a pc way of.

0:14:20.360 --> 0:14:22.680
<v Speaker 4>Saying, go back to where you came from. This place

0:14:23.000 --> 0:14:23.640
<v Speaker 4>isn't yours.

0:14:23.640 --> 0:14:26.760
<v Speaker 3>You're not as entitled to feel this is yours as

0:14:26.760 --> 0:14:29.040
<v Speaker 3>somebody else based on ethnicity.

0:14:29.160 --> 0:14:31.360
<v Speaker 4>I mean that is so toxic.

0:14:31.960 --> 0:14:33.880
<v Speaker 1>And how long do you have to be here before

0:14:33.960 --> 0:14:36.960
<v Speaker 1>they will consider you Australian? I mean at what stage?

0:14:37.280 --> 0:14:38.200
<v Speaker 4>Who am I? Who are you?

0:14:38.280 --> 0:14:41.120
<v Speaker 1>I mean you're an immigrant? You know I'm born here,

0:14:41.320 --> 0:14:43.480
<v Speaker 1>like we're all Australian. And this is the device.

0:14:43.640 --> 0:14:44.400
<v Speaker 4>You're a sessler.

0:14:44.520 --> 0:14:47.160
<v Speaker 3>This isn't If you go to mccurra University, you'll be

0:14:47.200 --> 0:14:50.800
<v Speaker 3>taught that doesn't matter. If you go back seven generations

0:14:50.960 --> 0:14:53.640
<v Speaker 3>and you have no other country in the world where

0:14:53.640 --> 0:14:56.000
<v Speaker 3>you have an allegiance or a link, you are still

0:14:56.880 --> 0:14:57.440
<v Speaker 3>a sessler.

0:14:57.560 --> 0:14:58.160
<v Speaker 4>You're a guest.

0:14:58.240 --> 0:15:00.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and so then reader, it's not I wonder that

0:15:00.960 --> 0:15:03.560
<v Speaker 1>our young people don't want to defend Australia.

0:15:03.640 --> 0:15:06.040
<v Speaker 4>We did a survey that showed.

0:15:05.720 --> 0:15:08.920
<v Speaker 1>That almost half of our young eighteen to twenty four

0:15:08.960 --> 0:15:11.240
<v Speaker 1>year olds, if we're in the same situation as Ukraine

0:15:11.280 --> 0:15:13.880
<v Speaker 1>right now, they would not stay and fight. And why

0:15:13.920 --> 0:15:16.160
<v Speaker 1>would you If you've been told all along you don't

0:15:16.160 --> 0:15:19.600
<v Speaker 1>belong you hear, your presence is illegitimate, why would you

0:15:19.680 --> 0:15:20.200
<v Speaker 1>stay in fight?

0:15:20.280 --> 0:15:22.960
<v Speaker 3>Well, the whole country is not legitimate. There is on

0:15:23.120 --> 0:15:26.360
<v Speaker 3>stolen land. There was an invasion, there was a genocide.

0:15:26.480 --> 0:15:29.480
<v Speaker 3>When if you're taught to be ashamed of your history,

0:15:29.600 --> 0:15:32.120
<v Speaker 3>why would you go to wolf to try to defend

0:15:32.120 --> 0:15:32.560
<v Speaker 3>that country?

0:15:32.560 --> 0:15:32.840
<v Speaker 7>Correct?

0:15:33.080 --> 0:15:35.040
<v Speaker 1>And we spend all this money on universities.

0:15:35.440 --> 0:15:35.800
<v Speaker 4>We want.

0:15:35.840 --> 0:15:39.400
<v Speaker 1>The return on investment is to have a workforce and

0:15:39.480 --> 0:15:42.440
<v Speaker 1>a future generation that are independent and capable people.

0:15:42.440 --> 0:15:45.240
<v Speaker 4>But what we're churning out is just a bunch of activists.

0:15:45.160 --> 0:15:48.040
<v Speaker 3>We are, and a bunch of self loathing activists. It's

0:15:48.080 --> 0:15:51.400
<v Speaker 3>not even healthy activism. It's not actually activism that I

0:15:51.440 --> 0:15:53.880
<v Speaker 3>don't know. It could be enriching and make them happy

0:15:53.920 --> 0:15:57.840
<v Speaker 3>and make them productive. Before you go the IPA's education

0:15:58.040 --> 0:16:02.240
<v Speaker 3>program class action, it's had a tell me about that,

0:16:02.320 --> 0:16:05.720
<v Speaker 3>and tell me in thirty seconds how you're countering the

0:16:05.760 --> 0:16:06.840
<v Speaker 3>madness that's happening.

0:16:06.920 --> 0:16:08.680
<v Speaker 1>So we change it from class Actions now called the

0:16:08.680 --> 0:16:11.560
<v Speaker 1>IPAs Schools Program because it was sort of confused with

0:16:11.680 --> 0:16:15.200
<v Speaker 1>being to do with law that wasn't helpful. What we're

0:16:15.200 --> 0:16:19.320
<v Speaker 1>doing is providing free curriculum materials for teachers. They can

0:16:19.360 --> 0:16:22.720
<v Speaker 1>download it free from the IPS from Schools program dot

0:16:22.760 --> 0:16:25.840
<v Speaker 1>org dot au website. We've also done things like given

0:16:25.880 --> 0:16:28.200
<v Speaker 1>every primary school in the country a board game about

0:16:28.200 --> 0:16:32.240
<v Speaker 1>the First Fleet that positions the story of who we

0:16:32.280 --> 0:16:34.160
<v Speaker 1>are and how we can you know the Australian, the

0:16:34.760 --> 0:16:37.680
<v Speaker 1>first Fleet and the arrival of that. All of our

0:16:37.680 --> 0:16:41.200
<v Speaker 1>curriculum materials are free. It's a balanced view of our history.

0:16:41.400 --> 0:16:43.120
<v Speaker 1>We have a history to be proud of and we

0:16:43.160 --> 0:16:44.800
<v Speaker 1>should be proud of it, and the children should be

0:16:44.840 --> 0:16:47.240
<v Speaker 1>learning to be proud of it and to know the facts,

0:16:47.240 --> 0:16:48.320
<v Speaker 1>like the balance, So just.

0:16:48.280 --> 0:16:51.360
<v Speaker 3>To know the facts, just to actually get something other

0:16:51.440 --> 0:16:54.920
<v Speaker 3>than this black armband view of our entire history.

0:16:55.000 --> 0:16:57.960
<v Speaker 4>Colin Harkn, thanks so much for problem still to come.

0:16:58.040 --> 0:16:59.640
<v Speaker 4>A left is a losing it.

0:17:00.360 --> 0:17:05.760
<v Speaker 3>The spat between President Trump and President Zelenski intensifies. Koshagaida

0:17:06.119 --> 0:17:11.440
<v Speaker 3>is here to break it down.

0:17:16.520 --> 0:17:17.280
<v Speaker 4>Welcome back.

0:17:17.359 --> 0:17:20.520
<v Speaker 3>Now it's time for lefties losing it and let's have

0:17:20.680 --> 0:17:24.879
<v Speaker 3>a gander. The Oscars the night devoted to celebrating excellence

0:17:24.960 --> 0:17:25.760
<v Speaker 3>in cinema.

0:17:26.320 --> 0:17:28.199
<v Speaker 4>Well, except it's not anymore.

0:17:28.240 --> 0:17:32.400
<v Speaker 3>It's a massive leftist snallfest featuring a bunch of pretentious films.

0:17:32.800 --> 0:17:36.080
<v Speaker 3>No one's brought it to watch but satisfy the Academy's

0:17:36.160 --> 0:17:40.840
<v Speaker 3>diversity quotas or inclusion standards, as they call it, And

0:17:40.960 --> 0:17:45.160
<v Speaker 3>of course they started the ceremony with an incoherent land

0:17:45.200 --> 0:17:48.000
<v Speaker 3>acknowledgment delivered by actress Julianne Hoff.

0:17:48.440 --> 0:17:51.480
<v Speaker 8>We gather in celebration of the Oscars on the ancestral

0:17:51.520 --> 0:17:55.359
<v Speaker 8>lands of the Tonga, Tatavium and Chumash peopils, the traditional

0:17:55.359 --> 0:17:58.240
<v Speaker 8>caretakers of this water and land. We honor in p

0:17:58.359 --> 0:18:01.639
<v Speaker 8>our respects to indigenous communities here and around the world.

0:18:01.840 --> 0:18:03.480
<v Speaker 4>The what tribe? Now?

0:18:04.240 --> 0:18:07.560
<v Speaker 3>Didn't they slaughter the previous tribes that lived there? Matt

0:18:07.600 --> 0:18:12.560
<v Speaker 3>Walsh tweeted this response to the Oscars vacuous virtue signaling.

0:18:12.680 --> 0:18:16.960
<v Speaker 3>He wrote, she paid homage to the Tomba tribe, But

0:18:17.359 --> 0:18:21.520
<v Speaker 3>the Toma moved into southern California thousands of years after

0:18:21.560 --> 0:18:25.760
<v Speaker 3>he had already been occupied by more ancient tribe. They

0:18:25.880 --> 0:18:29.679
<v Speaker 3>killed and displaced the inhabitants and took over. If they

0:18:29.720 --> 0:18:32.840
<v Speaker 3>get to claim the title of indigenous, then so do we.

0:18:34.080 --> 0:18:36.119
<v Speaker 4>Interesting interesting point.

0:18:36.200 --> 0:18:39.520
<v Speaker 3>They're almost like lands and people have been conquered over

0:18:39.600 --> 0:18:44.600
<v Speaker 3>and over again throughout history, and perhaps assigning collective guilt

0:18:44.720 --> 0:18:48.640
<v Speaker 3>or collective reverence and praise to people based on their

0:18:49.280 --> 0:18:53.959
<v Speaker 3>color or ethnicity is not the best of ideas. But

0:18:54.040 --> 0:18:56.439
<v Speaker 3>back to the Oscars, and when you think about what

0:18:56.560 --> 0:19:01.000
<v Speaker 3>a far left lunatic asylum Hollywood has become, then you

0:19:01.040 --> 0:19:04.600
<v Speaker 3>won't be surprised that the most nominated film this year

0:19:04.920 --> 0:19:10.480
<v Speaker 3>was a Mexican musical about a transgender cartel leader. Now really,

0:19:10.880 --> 0:19:16.399
<v Speaker 3>the film Emilia Perez, had thirteen nominations, including for Best Picture,

0:19:16.920 --> 0:19:20.280
<v Speaker 3>and he even scored a Best Actress nomination for a

0:19:20.440 --> 0:19:23.960
<v Speaker 3>dude identifying as a woman, Carla Sophia Gascon.

0:19:24.760 --> 0:19:25.480
<v Speaker 4>In the end, the.

0:19:25.440 --> 0:19:29.320
<v Speaker 3>Film won two Oscars, including for Best Supporting Actress for

0:19:29.480 --> 0:19:30.640
<v Speaker 3>Zoe Saldana.

0:19:30.720 --> 0:19:33.600
<v Speaker 4>And let's have a look at her stellar work. This

0:19:33.720 --> 0:19:41.960
<v Speaker 4>is just amazing man two woman? Is it for you?

0:19:43.240 --> 0:19:45.080
<v Speaker 9>For me?

0:19:45.560 --> 0:19:46.040
<v Speaker 4>Yes?

0:19:46.160 --> 0:19:49.880
<v Speaker 3>She got an oscar for that, and the audience those

0:19:50.040 --> 0:19:52.800
<v Speaker 3>crazy enough to sit through that entire film got an

0:19:52.920 --> 0:20:02.600
<v Speaker 3>edge education in all the different types of trans operations.

0:20:00.480 --> 0:20:05.480
<v Speaker 7>Blasi lab, blasi, control, Lavin, god blastin, what is that?

0:20:05.920 --> 0:20:06.400
<v Speaker 4>Adama?

0:20:09.040 --> 0:20:12.840
<v Speaker 3>And it's not just actors who've been spewing activist nonsense.

0:20:12.880 --> 0:20:15.439
<v Speaker 3>Seeinger Pink is never one to miss out on an

0:20:15.440 --> 0:20:17.240
<v Speaker 3>opportunity to make a full of herself.

0:20:17.640 --> 0:20:20.240
<v Speaker 4>He she is earlier in the year claiming that.

0:20:20.680 --> 0:20:25.639
<v Speaker 7>What ladies and gentlemen and every other gender that absolutely exists.

0:20:25.840 --> 0:20:29.200
<v Speaker 5>I give you the incredible genre.

0:20:29.880 --> 0:20:34.240
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, but they don't pink. There are two, count them two.

0:20:34.320 --> 0:20:40.480
<v Speaker 3>Everything else's performative attention seeking. Now to a transactivist posing

0:20:40.560 --> 0:20:44.960
<v Speaker 3>this important question, the answer is quite obvious, I would

0:20:44.960 --> 0:20:47.400
<v Speaker 3>have thought, but sadly lost on this soul.

0:20:47.840 --> 0:20:53.000
<v Speaker 10>So trans people are considered a danger to women in sports,

0:20:53.240 --> 0:20:57.000
<v Speaker 10>yet they're considered a weakness to the United States military.

0:20:58.160 --> 0:21:01.840
<v Speaker 4>Make it make sense, MAGA.

0:21:00.520 --> 0:21:03.800
<v Speaker 3>I would have thought, that's because the US Army isn't

0:21:03.920 --> 0:21:09.560
<v Speaker 3>fighting against female combatants exclusively. If it were, then perhaps

0:21:09.640 --> 0:21:12.200
<v Speaker 3>your question would be valid. But alas, you just went

0:21:12.280 --> 0:21:15.840
<v Speaker 3>and made a massive full of yourself and provided more

0:21:15.920 --> 0:21:17.480
<v Speaker 3>content for lefties losing it.

0:21:17.520 --> 0:21:19.760
<v Speaker 4>So I do thank you for that. Let's have a

0:21:19.800 --> 0:21:20.600
<v Speaker 4>look now at.

0:21:20.440 --> 0:21:24.080
<v Speaker 3>The great work of Charlie Kirk. He goes to university

0:21:24.080 --> 0:21:29.520
<v Speaker 3>campuses around America debating lost lefties, and this next gal

0:21:29.760 --> 0:21:31.640
<v Speaker 3>needs all the help she can get.

0:21:31.960 --> 0:21:34.120
<v Speaker 11>Let's say there's you know, a black kid right now?

0:21:34.119 --> 0:21:36.160
<v Speaker 11>Would you rather have that black kid have a role

0:21:36.240 --> 0:21:38.560
<v Speaker 11>model be Kendrick Lamar or Clarence.

0:21:38.200 --> 0:21:41.639
<v Speaker 8>Thomas Kendrick obviously.

0:21:42.320 --> 0:21:45.000
<v Speaker 11>So not the not the black American on the United

0:21:45.040 --> 0:21:45.960
<v Speaker 11>States Supreme Court.

0:21:46.080 --> 0:21:48.320
<v Speaker 8>No, he's he's trying to ban interracial marriage.

0:21:48.320 --> 0:21:49.200
<v Speaker 4>He's trying to like do it.

0:21:49.560 --> 0:21:53.920
<v Speaker 11>Wow, he's in an interracial marriage. He literally like he's

0:21:54.040 --> 0:21:56.040
<v Speaker 11>married to a white woman. Yeah, I know the Roe v.

0:21:56.200 --> 0:21:59.200
<v Speaker 12>Wage thing, Like goes again, he's trying.

0:21:59.000 --> 0:22:00.000
<v Speaker 11>To ban his own marriage.

0:22:00.240 --> 0:22:02.560
<v Speaker 4>Yes, what can you say?

0:22:02.640 --> 0:22:05.960
<v Speaker 3>But it's not just the students, it's the teachers too

0:22:06.000 --> 0:22:09.400
<v Speaker 3>that Charlie Kirk has exposed for being out a fools.

0:22:10.040 --> 0:22:13.159
<v Speaker 3>Here he asks the teacher a simple question, what is

0:22:13.200 --> 0:22:17.000
<v Speaker 3>a woman? The guy thinks he's prepared for this obvious question,

0:22:17.240 --> 0:22:19.760
<v Speaker 3>but watching flounder.

0:22:19.440 --> 0:22:21.400
<v Speaker 11>For teacher, Yes, what is a woman?

0:22:21.840 --> 0:22:22.560
<v Speaker 6>What is a woman?

0:22:25.080 --> 0:22:25.280
<v Speaker 2>Oh?

0:22:25.359 --> 0:22:25.679
<v Speaker 6>Buddy?

0:22:26.119 --> 0:22:26.280
<v Speaker 12>Hi?

0:22:27.119 --> 0:22:29.919
<v Speaker 6>So we define gender as a set of preferences that

0:22:29.960 --> 0:22:39.679
<v Speaker 6>you have, excuse me, gender, gender the set of preferences

0:22:39.760 --> 0:22:45.200
<v Speaker 6>we have women. Woman is a social construct that we've

0:22:45.280 --> 0:22:49.719
<v Speaker 6>agreed upon. Typically we imagine womanhood as makeup or whatever

0:22:50.160 --> 0:22:56.760
<v Speaker 6>it is. There is a difference between the word woman

0:22:57.280 --> 0:23:02.040
<v Speaker 6>and being a biological female. Women is a social construct

0:23:02.040 --> 0:23:05.000
<v Speaker 6>that we use. Listen for a suck, I'm telling you

0:23:05.040 --> 0:23:05.639
<v Speaker 6>what it means.

0:23:05.880 --> 0:23:06.440
<v Speaker 4>There you go.

0:23:06.640 --> 0:23:10.159
<v Speaker 3>It's just a set of preferences, a social constructs. So

0:23:10.200 --> 0:23:13.680
<v Speaker 3>if you like makeup and the color pink, then you're

0:23:13.720 --> 0:23:15.879
<v Speaker 3>a woman. I mean, can you get more backward than that?

0:23:16.040 --> 0:23:19.240
<v Speaker 3>They had more enlightened values in the nineteen twenties. These

0:23:19.280 --> 0:23:22.080
<v Speaker 3>are the so called progressives these days, that's what they

0:23:22.080 --> 0:23:26.280
<v Speaker 3>call themselves. And now, educator, I continue to dig himself

0:23:26.320 --> 0:23:29.960
<v Speaker 3>a hole trying to answer a question which a child

0:23:30.200 --> 0:23:31.240
<v Speaker 3>could easily answer.

0:23:31.440 --> 0:23:34.200
<v Speaker 6>Women is a social construct. We agree on these set

0:23:34.240 --> 0:23:36.840
<v Speaker 6>of preferences. If I tell you that I'm a man

0:23:37.000 --> 0:23:38.919
<v Speaker 6>is because I want you to know that I'm like

0:23:38.960 --> 0:23:41.040
<v Speaker 6>these set of preferences. If I tell you I'm a woman,

0:23:41.119 --> 0:23:42.600
<v Speaker 6>is because I want you to know that I agree

0:23:42.640 --> 0:23:43.680
<v Speaker 6>with these set of preferences.

0:23:43.680 --> 0:23:44.520
<v Speaker 11>And men give birth?

0:23:46.080 --> 0:23:49.359
<v Speaker 6>Can men? Or can males? If you listen to your

0:23:49.400 --> 0:23:52.879
<v Speaker 6>bio professors, you'd understand there's the difference between biology and

0:23:53.000 --> 0:23:53.720
<v Speaker 6>what we think.

0:23:53.600 --> 0:23:56.040
<v Speaker 11>Of I want to thank you for proving a great point. Well,

0:23:56.080 --> 0:23:58.520
<v Speaker 11>you are why we should eliminate the Department of Education.

0:23:58.720 --> 0:23:59.600
<v Speaker 6>Thank you very much.

0:24:01.280 --> 0:24:03.880
<v Speaker 3>That is scary. That is who's teaching your kids. That's

0:24:03.880 --> 0:24:07.280
<v Speaker 3>why you save up for those college fees. I'll tell you,

0:24:07.359 --> 0:24:09.959
<v Speaker 3>Charlie Kirk is so effective because he just gives them

0:24:10.080 --> 0:24:12.920
<v Speaker 3>enough rope and they do the rest and no wonder

0:24:13.480 --> 0:24:17.280
<v Speaker 3>the lefties are tearing down posters for his events.

0:24:17.320 --> 0:24:23.280
<v Speaker 4>Look at this mug entitled brat Why do you feel

0:24:23.280 --> 0:24:24.040
<v Speaker 4>they need to do that?

0:24:25.640 --> 0:24:26.919
<v Speaker 8>Why do you feel they need to do that?

0:24:27.840 --> 0:24:30.800
<v Speaker 4>Why do you feel they need to tip tear posters? Dound? Okay,

0:24:30.840 --> 0:24:31.440
<v Speaker 4>I don't like them?

0:24:32.000 --> 0:24:35.600
<v Speaker 7>Why I think.

0:24:35.480 --> 0:24:38.800
<v Speaker 4>You know what? Why?

0:24:39.359 --> 0:24:42.840
<v Speaker 3>Joining me now is Sky News contributor Kosher Gator Kosher

0:24:42.960 --> 0:24:46.520
<v Speaker 3>Let's jump into the intensifying war of words between President

0:24:46.560 --> 0:24:51.160
<v Speaker 3>Trump and President Zelenski, who has completely shifted from pledging

0:24:51.200 --> 0:24:54.600
<v Speaker 3>to negotiate a piece still, President Zelenski now says the

0:24:54.680 --> 0:24:58.240
<v Speaker 3>end of the war is very very far away, a

0:24:58.280 --> 0:25:02.359
<v Speaker 3>statement that has seen a swift response from the White House.

0:25:02.880 --> 0:25:05.640
<v Speaker 10>He said he thinks it was going to go on

0:25:05.800 --> 0:25:09.320
<v Speaker 10>for a long time, and he'd better not be right

0:25:09.359 --> 0:25:10.800
<v Speaker 10>about that. That's all I'm saying.

0:25:10.920 --> 0:25:14.720
<v Speaker 3>President Trump also wrote, this is the worst statement that

0:25:14.800 --> 0:25:18.040
<v Speaker 3>could have been made by Zelenski, and America.

0:25:17.600 --> 0:25:21.920
<v Speaker 4>Will not put up with it for much longer. Kosher

0:25:22.680 --> 0:25:23.520
<v Speaker 4>Trump also.

0:25:23.280 --> 0:25:26.199
<v Speaker 3>Pointed out in that statement the Kiir Starmer's comments and

0:25:26.240 --> 0:25:29.800
<v Speaker 3>the comments from other European leaders who have pledged to

0:25:29.920 --> 0:25:33.840
<v Speaker 3>support Ukraine. They've also said they can't do the job

0:25:34.080 --> 0:25:37.080
<v Speaker 3>without the US. That's an important point that much of

0:25:37.080 --> 0:25:40.400
<v Speaker 3>the media has missed, and I do wonder how that's

0:25:40.440 --> 0:25:43.479
<v Speaker 3>going to happen with relations at this point.

0:25:44.400 --> 0:25:47.200
<v Speaker 12>So as the dust from that dust up settles, there's

0:25:47.800 --> 0:25:50.480
<v Speaker 12>a picture that's clarifying it's coming out, which is, on

0:25:50.520 --> 0:25:53.280
<v Speaker 12>the one hand, you have a war that is not

0:25:53.320 --> 0:25:56.760
<v Speaker 12>winnable and was never winnable without the US and the

0:25:56.880 --> 0:25:59.280
<v Speaker 12>US involvement in large, large measure to the tune of

0:25:59.280 --> 0:26:02.439
<v Speaker 12>one hundred billion a year or more, plus this looming

0:26:02.520 --> 0:26:06.600
<v Speaker 12>specter of security guaranties in whatever shape or form that

0:26:06.680 --> 0:26:09.720
<v Speaker 12>took or was implied under the past administration for four years.

0:26:10.080 --> 0:26:11.879
<v Speaker 12>And on the other hand, you have an election that

0:26:11.920 --> 0:26:14.679
<v Speaker 12>took place, and Trump is a reflection of that election,

0:26:14.680 --> 0:26:17.520
<v Speaker 12>which is that the American electorate has long time not

0:26:17.640 --> 0:26:19.399
<v Speaker 12>been in favor of this. It is dropping like a

0:26:19.440 --> 0:26:22.000
<v Speaker 12>stone their support for the level of US involvement, and

0:26:22.040 --> 0:26:24.720
<v Speaker 12>Trump is reflecting that and personifying that. And it seems

0:26:24.720 --> 0:26:27.320
<v Speaker 12>like President Zelenski has not caught up to that. He

0:26:27.320 --> 0:26:30.520
<v Speaker 12>hasn't updated his software yet in his mind. Maybe it's

0:26:30.520 --> 0:26:33.520
<v Speaker 12>his own failing, Maybe it's that he's just been in

0:26:33.600 --> 0:26:36.240
<v Speaker 12>sort of the eastern East Coast, West coast bubbles whenever

0:26:36.280 --> 0:26:38.840
<v Speaker 12>he visits, and he doesn't understand the pulse of the American.

0:26:38.480 --> 0:26:41.200
<v Speaker 3>Electric really is advised better than that. This is what

0:26:41.320 --> 0:26:44.000
<v Speaker 3>was astonishing to so many. It was astonishing to me.

0:26:44.080 --> 0:26:47.160
<v Speaker 3>It was astonishing to a lot of pro Ukrainian experts

0:26:47.160 --> 0:26:50.240
<v Speaker 3>who been commenting on this crisis for three years, that

0:26:51.040 --> 0:26:53.760
<v Speaker 3>he seemed to think it was twenty twenty or twenty

0:26:53.800 --> 0:26:57.560
<v Speaker 3>twenty two. He did not go into that meeting with

0:26:57.640 --> 0:27:01.920
<v Speaker 3>any sort of appreciation of how the public mood has shifted.

0:27:02.200 --> 0:27:04.560
<v Speaker 3>What Trump can paint on and this is not a

0:27:04.920 --> 0:27:07.520
<v Speaker 3>position Trump has come to just in the last week.

0:27:07.600 --> 0:27:08.640
<v Speaker 4>He can paignt on this.

0:27:08.640 --> 0:27:12.080
<v Speaker 3>It should be crystal clear where the current administration stads.

0:27:12.080 --> 0:27:14.960
<v Speaker 12>Absolutely, it's where he has stood previously, even before he

0:27:15.080 --> 0:27:18.000
<v Speaker 12>entered political office. He has long time been against US involvements.

0:27:18.000 --> 0:27:21.040
<v Speaker 12>He's very much a non interventionalist. Everybody knows this. To

0:27:21.080 --> 0:27:23.119
<v Speaker 12>the point of advice, It almost sounds like to the contrary,

0:27:23.119 --> 0:27:25.159
<v Speaker 12>he's been getting really bad advice because he met with

0:27:25.240 --> 0:27:28.960
<v Speaker 12>Democrat senators before that meeting, like one hour before that

0:27:29.040 --> 0:27:32.640
<v Speaker 12>infamous meeting, had bad move and received advice from Mark

0:27:32.680 --> 0:27:36.119
<v Speaker 12>Kelly and Murphy of Connecticut and others who seemed to

0:27:36.119 --> 0:27:39.200
<v Speaker 12>have They ran to their ex feeds afterwards and presented

0:27:39.280 --> 0:27:41.359
<v Speaker 12>little snippets where they were saying, we think it's a

0:27:41.359 --> 0:27:44.120
<v Speaker 12>bad deal. It's reducing this to business transaction, et cetera.

0:27:44.400 --> 0:27:48.200
<v Speaker 12>So he seems to totally have misread how serious Trump

0:27:48.240 --> 0:27:50.520
<v Speaker 12>and Vance are. These are not just words. And now

0:27:50.520 --> 0:27:53.359
<v Speaker 12>there's reports that they're cutting off potentially all aid, humanitarian

0:27:53.400 --> 0:27:55.320
<v Speaker 12>and military. So these stakes just got a lot higher

0:27:55.320 --> 0:27:55.600
<v Speaker 12>for him.

0:27:55.880 --> 0:28:00.359
<v Speaker 3>I think that is that pause is going to be

0:28:00.520 --> 0:28:03.240
<v Speaker 3>the wake up call that we need now that if

0:28:03.280 --> 0:28:05.840
<v Speaker 3>you actually do want to have any sort of meaningful,

0:28:05.960 --> 0:28:09.479
<v Speaker 3>lasting piece, you have to come to the negotiation table

0:28:09.760 --> 0:28:14.479
<v Speaker 3>with the willingness to negotiate. Otherwise we're going to have

0:28:14.560 --> 0:28:20.040
<v Speaker 3>another three years of this disastrous war that the destruction

0:28:20.200 --> 0:28:25.680
<v Speaker 3>in Ukraine in particular is just heartbreaking now Donald Trump.

0:28:25.760 --> 0:28:28.879
<v Speaker 3>Kosher also pointed out Kiir Starmer's comments, and there's been

0:28:28.920 --> 0:28:32.399
<v Speaker 3>a lot of commentary about those comments and that of

0:28:32.960 --> 0:28:37.119
<v Speaker 3>other leaders who've pledged to stand by Ukraine.

0:28:37.760 --> 0:28:40.120
<v Speaker 4>Let's have a listen to what Kiir Starmer had to say.

0:28:40.240 --> 0:28:43.680
<v Speaker 2>The UK has prepared to back this with boots on

0:28:43.720 --> 0:28:47.160
<v Speaker 2>the ground and planes in the air. Together with others,

0:28:48.080 --> 0:28:52.680
<v Speaker 2>Europe must do the heavy listing. But to support peace

0:28:52.880 --> 0:28:57.560
<v Speaker 2>in our continent and to succeed this effort must have

0:28:57.680 --> 0:29:02.200
<v Speaker 2>strong US backing. We're working with the US on this

0:29:02.280 --> 0:29:07.040
<v Speaker 2>point after my meeting with President Trump last week. And

0:29:07.120 --> 0:29:10.360
<v Speaker 2>let me be clear, we agree with the President on

0:29:10.480 --> 0:29:13.360
<v Speaker 2>the urgent need for a durable peace Kosher.

0:29:13.520 --> 0:29:16.760
<v Speaker 3>He went very quickly there, from boots on the ground

0:29:16.960 --> 0:29:21.400
<v Speaker 3>to this plan is dependent on the US backing it too.

0:29:21.600 --> 0:29:25.040
<v Speaker 3>He agreed with President Trump about the urgent need for

0:29:25.120 --> 0:29:26.120
<v Speaker 3>a durable peace.

0:29:27.360 --> 0:29:28.600
<v Speaker 4>How do you see that statement?

0:29:28.640 --> 0:29:31.240
<v Speaker 3>Because people have listened to that first section about boots

0:29:31.320 --> 0:29:34.520
<v Speaker 3>on the ground, the whole thing only goes for thirty seconds,

0:29:34.960 --> 0:29:38.160
<v Speaker 3>and they seem to have disregarded the subsequent twenty seconds.

0:29:38.360 --> 0:29:40.400
<v Speaker 12>And in this datage of social media, you can just

0:29:40.400 --> 0:29:43.200
<v Speaker 12>clip what you need and then engineering narrators around that.

0:29:43.680 --> 0:29:45.640
<v Speaker 12>But it's really it was funny for me because it

0:29:45.760 --> 0:29:47.920
<v Speaker 12>reminded me of that great quote from the lead and

0:29:47.960 --> 0:29:50.920
<v Speaker 12>Greed Margaret Thatcher, who's seat he currently sits in, who

0:29:51.000 --> 0:29:53.320
<v Speaker 12>said the problem with socialism has eventually you run out

0:29:53.360 --> 0:29:55.880
<v Speaker 12>of other people's money, and he and all of Europe

0:29:55.960 --> 0:29:58.800
<v Speaker 12>is kind of showing that not at a national level,

0:29:58.840 --> 0:30:00.800
<v Speaker 12>but at a global level. Easy for them to talk

0:30:00.920 --> 0:30:03.840
<v Speaker 12>tough when it relies on spending American money and maybe

0:30:03.840 --> 0:30:05.760
<v Speaker 12>American troops. You can add troops to that sentence in

0:30:05.800 --> 0:30:08.520
<v Speaker 12>addition to money. And so they're all paper tigers. And

0:30:09.280 --> 0:30:11.320
<v Speaker 12>this Ukraine thing is sort of a flashpoint and what

0:30:11.360 --> 0:30:14.200
<v Speaker 12>Trump is trying to do in terms of recalibrating the

0:30:14.240 --> 0:30:17.240
<v Speaker 12>European US alliance as it released to defense more broadly,

0:30:17.600 --> 0:30:20.000
<v Speaker 12>and this is just an accelerant, I think, to that

0:30:20.080 --> 0:30:21.640
<v Speaker 12>endgame that he wants to get to.

0:30:22.560 --> 0:30:25.880
<v Speaker 3>And we do hear a lot from the European countries

0:30:25.920 --> 0:30:29.120
<v Speaker 3>about how much they're doing for Ukraine, how much money

0:30:29.200 --> 0:30:33.680
<v Speaker 3>they're contributing, how strong their support is. Meanwhile, this is

0:30:33.720 --> 0:30:38.360
<v Speaker 3>the reality there. You imported Russian fossil fuels in the

0:30:38.400 --> 0:30:41.640
<v Speaker 3>third year of the evasion. The amount that they imported

0:30:41.720 --> 0:30:46.160
<v Speaker 3>surpassed the eighteen point seven billion of financial aid they

0:30:46.240 --> 0:30:48.680
<v Speaker 3>sent to Ukraine in twenty twenty four. So Kosha, on

0:30:48.680 --> 0:30:52.200
<v Speaker 3>the one hand, they are providing some aid, none of

0:30:52.240 --> 0:30:56.720
<v Speaker 3>them as much as the US, but they're also enriching

0:30:57.440 --> 0:31:01.600
<v Speaker 3>Russia because there are inn energy policies are so broken

0:31:02.240 --> 0:31:07.280
<v Speaker 3>that they have become reliant on Russia for their energy.

0:31:07.440 --> 0:31:09.000
<v Speaker 12>That's such a great point because there's been a lot

0:31:09.000 --> 0:31:10.960
<v Speaker 12>of focus on one side of the ledger, which is

0:31:10.960 --> 0:31:13.320
<v Speaker 12>how much money the US is spending versus them on defense,

0:31:13.360 --> 0:31:15.880
<v Speaker 12>and there's some dispute around the number we've put into Ukraine.

0:31:15.880 --> 0:31:18.480
<v Speaker 12>But the point is nobody disputes of the US is

0:31:18.840 --> 0:31:20.960
<v Speaker 12>carrying the line's share of it. But the other side

0:31:20.960 --> 0:31:23.600
<v Speaker 12>of the ledsuer what you're showing is fascinating too, because

0:31:23.640 --> 0:31:26.520
<v Speaker 12>if they really cared, they would, I don't know, Germany

0:31:26.560 --> 0:31:29.960
<v Speaker 12>would turn back on their nuclear industry that they decimated

0:31:30.040 --> 0:31:32.560
<v Speaker 12>for green and other reasons. That would be one way

0:31:32.600 --> 0:31:35.280
<v Speaker 12>to weaken them, maybe buy more from the US, maybe

0:31:35.360 --> 0:31:37.560
<v Speaker 12>cut other types of deals. They're not doing that, so

0:31:37.560 --> 0:31:41.000
<v Speaker 12>it's all talk, little action unless it's easy action like

0:31:41.040 --> 0:31:43.720
<v Speaker 12>sanctioning Russia or freezing some of their assets in the

0:31:43.760 --> 0:31:45.680
<v Speaker 12>banking sector. They've done a little bit there, but not

0:31:45.720 --> 0:31:49.520
<v Speaker 12>really much more. And unless Zelensky comes back to the table,

0:31:49.520 --> 0:31:52.840
<v Speaker 12>I think you're just going to see this whole trend continue, and.

0:31:53.600 --> 0:31:57.400
<v Speaker 3>All this talk about the Trump administration is pro Russia

0:31:57.560 --> 0:32:01.440
<v Speaker 3>propute to this absolute idiom nonsense.

0:32:01.800 --> 0:32:04.479
<v Speaker 4>Passing for analysis, let's not forget.

0:32:04.560 --> 0:32:07.200
<v Speaker 3>Even in the first Trump term, he was in Europe

0:32:07.920 --> 0:32:12.239
<v Speaker 3>telling Germany and other countries do not become reliant on

0:32:12.320 --> 0:32:16.280
<v Speaker 3>Russian energy. It is a weakness, and they laughed at

0:32:16.360 --> 0:32:19.320
<v Speaker 3>him Kosher. They did not heed that advice at all.

0:32:19.440 --> 0:32:23.719
<v Speaker 3>And here we are where they are emboldening, enriching the

0:32:23.760 --> 0:32:27.200
<v Speaker 3>Putin regime at a time when they're saying that we

0:32:27.320 --> 0:32:28.200
<v Speaker 3>stand with Ukraine.

0:32:29.120 --> 0:32:31.720
<v Speaker 12>Great point, and so many of the things that Trump says,

0:32:32.320 --> 0:32:34.360
<v Speaker 12>they age really well when they come out of his mouth.

0:32:34.360 --> 0:32:35.240
<v Speaker 4>People don't like them.

0:32:35.240 --> 0:32:37.120
<v Speaker 12>He's a little bit coarse, he's a little bit rough

0:32:37.120 --> 0:32:39.640
<v Speaker 12>around the edges, but they always age and he always

0:32:39.680 --> 0:32:41.120
<v Speaker 12>ends up being true. And that was something that was

0:32:41.200 --> 0:32:43.520
<v Speaker 12>very prescient, as are many other things that he said.

0:32:43.920 --> 0:32:45.880
<v Speaker 12>And on the flip side, a lot of these European

0:32:45.960 --> 0:32:49.440
<v Speaker 12>leaders are not exactly sympathetic figures. Certainly not kurre Steimer

0:32:49.520 --> 0:32:51.840
<v Speaker 12>among the electorate, not Zelenski. A lot of people just

0:32:51.840 --> 0:32:54.240
<v Speaker 12>don't like him personally in terms of his demeanor and

0:32:54.280 --> 0:32:56.520
<v Speaker 12>the amount of travel he does. And he goes to

0:32:56.520 --> 0:32:59.560
<v Speaker 12>awards shows and has rung the bell at the Stock Exchange.

0:32:59.640 --> 0:33:00.480
<v Speaker 4>Fashion magazine.

0:33:00.520 --> 0:33:03.240
<v Speaker 12>Yes, here's aisympthetic figure. And on the side. They're trying

0:33:03.280 --> 0:33:05.920
<v Speaker 12>to paint Trump as a stewge of Russia, and that

0:33:05.960 --> 0:33:08.160
<v Speaker 12>whole thing has lost as potency, so that's not going

0:33:08.200 --> 0:33:08.880
<v Speaker 12>to work anymore.

0:33:09.120 --> 0:33:11.200
<v Speaker 4>No, I think it had a bit more.

0:33:12.520 --> 0:33:16.000
<v Speaker 3>Credibility when they were running that entire Russian collusion hoax,

0:33:16.120 --> 0:33:20.360
<v Speaker 3>not credibility, that's the wrong word. But people were believing

0:33:20.400 --> 0:33:23.920
<v Speaker 3>that hysteria. But since that's been completely debunked, it just

0:33:24.000 --> 0:33:29.240
<v Speaker 3>sounds like desperation. And on Europe here is some more

0:33:29.280 --> 0:33:34.080
<v Speaker 3>sobering data. Again, Europeans, many of them feel that Ukraine

0:33:34.080 --> 0:33:37.080
<v Speaker 3>should be getting more support. The polling shows that you

0:33:37.080 --> 0:33:41.440
<v Speaker 3>can see that there, but the polling also shows that

0:33:41.520 --> 0:33:44.680
<v Speaker 3>they don't want that support to come for their country.

0:33:45.120 --> 0:33:47.000
<v Speaker 3>As you can see, they're even the countries with the

0:33:47.120 --> 0:33:51.000
<v Speaker 3>highest percentage of people wanting greater support for Ukraine, Denmark

0:33:51.040 --> 0:33:53.080
<v Speaker 3>there is at the top of the list. Sixty six

0:33:53.120 --> 0:33:58.000
<v Speaker 3>percent think Ukraine deserves more support, but only seventeen percent

0:33:58.040 --> 0:33:59.600
<v Speaker 3>of Dan's kosher what.

0:33:59.600 --> 0:34:02.840
<v Speaker 4>Denm to increase its support.

0:34:02.920 --> 0:34:08.360
<v Speaker 3>It really just sums up this European virtue signaling where

0:34:09.840 --> 0:34:12.839
<v Speaker 3>they talk a big game, but really even their own

0:34:12.880 --> 0:34:16.759
<v Speaker 3>populations don't have the appetite for greater support and this

0:34:16.800 --> 0:34:17.920
<v Speaker 3>is on their doorsteps.

0:34:17.960 --> 0:34:18.439
<v Speaker 4>I don't know.

0:34:18.480 --> 0:34:22.080
<v Speaker 3>I see how people think Americans should care more about this.

0:34:22.239 --> 0:34:25.520
<v Speaker 3>You shouldn't have an America first approach in the United

0:34:25.560 --> 0:34:30.680
<v Speaker 3>States when this conflict is in Europe and the Europeans

0:34:30.680 --> 0:34:33.239
<v Speaker 3>seem to be a little bit apathetic about it.

0:34:33.400 --> 0:34:34.920
<v Speaker 12>Yeah, it's going to be a big reckoning for them

0:34:34.960 --> 0:34:38.160
<v Speaker 12>because the flip side of them stepping up spending on

0:34:38.200 --> 0:34:41.120
<v Speaker 12>defense and maybe them providing the security guarantee is going

0:34:41.160 --> 0:34:44.840
<v Speaker 12>to mean cutting back spending, austerity measures, these big lavish

0:34:44.920 --> 0:34:47.560
<v Speaker 12>social safety nets that Europe has loved and had for

0:34:47.680 --> 0:34:50.640
<v Speaker 12>half a century. There are meaningful repercussions from this for

0:34:50.719 --> 0:34:54.040
<v Speaker 12>them to kind of recalibrate their approach to government as

0:34:54.040 --> 0:34:56.279
<v Speaker 12>a whole. And the other thing about that is that's

0:34:56.440 --> 0:34:58.919
<v Speaker 12>very useful. Is it gets to the crux of the point,

0:34:59.000 --> 0:35:02.040
<v Speaker 12>which is, yes, we all support this war ending, We

0:35:02.080 --> 0:35:05.280
<v Speaker 12>support Ukraine's right to sovereignty. We certainly support their soldiers

0:35:05.280 --> 0:35:08.960
<v Speaker 12>and civilians who've been harmed and killed and injured and displaced.

0:35:09.360 --> 0:35:11.880
<v Speaker 12>We support democracy. Everybody supports those things. But when the

0:35:11.960 --> 0:35:13.879
<v Speaker 12>rubber hits the road, what does it mean in terms

0:35:13.920 --> 0:35:16.880
<v Speaker 12>of prioritization and you as a nation spending money and

0:35:16.920 --> 0:35:20.040
<v Speaker 12>spending troops to do that. That's where things shift because

0:35:20.040 --> 0:35:22.120
<v Speaker 12>we live in reality, we don't live in utopia. And

0:35:22.120 --> 0:35:24.120
<v Speaker 12>that's when that even the DN see that, and everybody

0:35:24.200 --> 0:35:26.200
<v Speaker 12>sees it, but the leaders don't seem to want to

0:35:26.200 --> 0:35:26.640
<v Speaker 12>acknowledge it.

0:35:26.680 --> 0:35:29.320
<v Speaker 3>Well, most people do see it, but sadly the bulk

0:35:29.360 --> 0:35:32.680
<v Speaker 3>of the media seems to be not living in reality.

0:35:32.719 --> 0:35:36.040
<v Speaker 3>They're living in some fantasy world. Well, it's some sort

0:35:36.080 --> 0:35:41.560
<v Speaker 3>of Greta Thumberg approach to geopolitics, where you know what

0:35:41.600 --> 0:35:45.400
<v Speaker 3>you want to happen must happen regardless of the reality.

0:35:45.480 --> 0:35:48.960
<v Speaker 3>And the reality is Ukraine is losing this war. America

0:35:49.000 --> 0:35:53.160
<v Speaker 3>doesn't want to keep funding it. And either you surrender

0:35:53.239 --> 0:35:59.120
<v Speaker 3>to Russia, which nobody wants. You keep fighting with backing

0:35:59.160 --> 0:36:03.120
<v Speaker 3>of European countries and the US soldiers on the ground,

0:36:03.480 --> 0:36:06.960
<v Speaker 3>which could spark World War III with a nuclear power.

0:36:07.080 --> 0:36:08.880
<v Speaker 4>I don't think anybody wants that either.

0:36:09.200 --> 0:36:12.520
<v Speaker 3>Or you negotiate a peace still that's advantageous to Ukraine.

0:36:12.560 --> 0:36:16.960
<v Speaker 3>And that's where we were before this meltdown in the

0:36:16.960 --> 0:36:22.600
<v Speaker 3>Oval Office, and we've seen many pro Ukraine foreign policy experts,

0:36:22.640 --> 0:36:25.600
<v Speaker 3>those who have championed extra funding for Ukraine from the

0:36:25.680 --> 0:36:29.799
<v Speaker 3>US have admired Zelenski for many years, be appalled by

0:36:29.840 --> 0:36:32.960
<v Speaker 3>his antics in the White House and what has followed,

0:36:33.040 --> 0:36:36.600
<v Speaker 3>and among them is Washington Post columnist Mark Theeson, who

0:36:36.600 --> 0:36:41.239
<v Speaker 3>has written a piece that saying Zelenski must mend the

0:36:41.239 --> 0:36:47.080
<v Speaker 3>breach with Trump or resign. Koshiki details Zelenski's conduct in

0:36:47.160 --> 0:36:50.280
<v Speaker 3>that fifty minute press conference leading up to that clash.

0:36:50.320 --> 0:36:53.440
<v Speaker 3>Everyone's seen the clash, but what led up to it

0:36:53.520 --> 0:36:55.719
<v Speaker 3>that fifteen minutes. If you've watched the entire thing, it

0:36:55.760 --> 0:36:59.760
<v Speaker 3>gives you a very different perspective. And he called presidents

0:37:00.160 --> 0:37:04.239
<v Speaker 3>Ski's behavior unnecessary and reckless and questioned why he'd be

0:37:04.360 --> 0:37:08.000
<v Speaker 3>so rude to Trump in front of the media when

0:37:08.040 --> 0:37:11.560
<v Speaker 3>Trump was offering him a really advantageous deal. He was

0:37:11.640 --> 0:37:15.359
<v Speaker 3>getting a great deal of what he wanted, and there

0:37:15.360 --> 0:37:18.560
<v Speaker 3>were even concessions made, you know, quite late in proceedings.

0:37:19.480 --> 0:37:22.160
<v Speaker 12>When you've last Mark Theesen and Lindsey Graham, by the way,

0:37:22.200 --> 0:37:25.000
<v Speaker 12>who's been on a fire excoriating Zelenski, he was the

0:37:25.000 --> 0:37:29.839
<v Speaker 12>most pro war US involvement senator that we have. That

0:37:30.000 --> 0:37:32.279
<v Speaker 12>is a signal that he did misstep here in the

0:37:32.600 --> 0:37:35.680
<v Speaker 12>not everybody in international media and even US media seeing

0:37:35.719 --> 0:37:37.440
<v Speaker 12>it that way. And this was a great piece pae

0:37:37.480 --> 0:37:40.359
<v Speaker 12>Mark Deson because he went through the entire forty nine

0:37:40.360 --> 0:37:43.399
<v Speaker 12>minutes and forty of those forty nine minutes where actually

0:37:43.400 --> 0:37:46.560
<v Speaker 12>Trump was very magnanimous, very cordial, and throughout that time

0:37:46.560 --> 0:37:48.840
<v Speaker 12>there are multiple points at which Zelenski was kind of

0:37:48.840 --> 0:37:49.399
<v Speaker 12>golding him.

0:37:49.560 --> 0:37:51.879
<v Speaker 3>When you watch the whole thing, I've got to say,

0:37:51.960 --> 0:37:55.600
<v Speaker 3>one of the more shocking things was how patient President

0:37:55.680 --> 0:37:56.239
<v Speaker 3>Trump was.

0:37:56.480 --> 0:37:57.600
<v Speaker 4>That's not his style.

0:37:57.840 --> 0:38:01.640
<v Speaker 3>He lets so much go to the keeper until at

0:38:01.640 --> 0:38:04.080
<v Speaker 3>at some point it was too much and he had

0:38:04.080 --> 0:38:07.920
<v Speaker 3>to step in and check Zelenski. But there was a

0:38:07.960 --> 0:38:11.719
<v Speaker 3>lot of disrespect, a lot of behavior that.

0:38:11.680 --> 0:38:14.160
<v Speaker 4>Trump would normally tolerate up until that point.

0:38:14.520 --> 0:38:18.239
<v Speaker 12>Absolutely, and that point was when he said. Zelenski said

0:38:18.280 --> 0:38:20.000
<v Speaker 12>that you know what, you will feel it too, because

0:38:20.040 --> 0:38:21.600
<v Speaker 12>you have an ocean. That's why you don't feel it.

0:38:21.600 --> 0:38:22.399
<v Speaker 4>Now, you will feel it too.

0:38:22.400 --> 0:38:25.040
<v Speaker 12>And at that moment you can see Trump's entire demeanor change.

0:38:25.080 --> 0:38:27.279
<v Speaker 12>His face lit up, and he said, American people are

0:38:27.280 --> 0:38:27.680
<v Speaker 12>watching this.

0:38:28.080 --> 0:38:28.799
<v Speaker 4>You do not come here.

0:38:28.880 --> 0:38:29.960
<v Speaker 12>You're in no position to see that.

0:38:30.160 --> 0:38:32.960
<v Speaker 3>Absolutely, and it was an astonishing comment to suggest that

0:38:33.000 --> 0:38:38.239
<v Speaker 3>America somehow should be fearful of a Russian invasion. Koshigeta,

0:38:38.280 --> 0:38:40.839
<v Speaker 3>thank you so much for your time. Pleasure still to come,

0:38:40.960 --> 0:38:43.000
<v Speaker 3>Milania Trump at the Capitol.

0:38:43.080 --> 0:38:48.080
<v Speaker 4>Why is the First Lady becoming increasingly political? Alex Steyne

0:38:48.320 --> 0:38:49.040
<v Speaker 4>is unleased.

0:38:57.719 --> 0:39:00.440
<v Speaker 3>You're watching the Reader Penny Show, and now the world's

0:39:00.520 --> 0:39:05.000
<v Speaker 3>media is again engaging in hyperbole, shrieking in unison about

0:39:05.040 --> 0:39:08.520
<v Speaker 3>President Trump's attempts to engineer a peace still between Russia

0:39:08.560 --> 0:39:09.440
<v Speaker 3>and Ukraine.

0:39:09.800 --> 0:39:11.560
<v Speaker 4>But Donald Trump's approach, one he.

0:39:11.680 --> 0:39:16.320
<v Speaker 3>Articulated at length during the election campaign, is actually popular

0:39:16.480 --> 0:39:20.160
<v Speaker 3>with Americans who are sick of funding these endless wars.

0:39:20.200 --> 0:39:23.200
<v Speaker 3>Even CNN can't deny that reality.

0:39:23.360 --> 0:39:24.960
<v Speaker 11>Well, I think the easiest way we can kind of

0:39:24.960 --> 0:39:27.040
<v Speaker 11>just ask this is do Americans like the way that

0:39:27.040 --> 0:39:29.080
<v Speaker 11>Trump's handling his job in compared to how they felt

0:39:29.080 --> 0:39:29.760
<v Speaker 11>about Joe Biden?

0:39:29.840 --> 0:39:31.040
<v Speaker 4>So this is the net approval rating.

0:39:31.160 --> 0:39:33.239
<v Speaker 11>You look at Joe Biden back in twenty twenty four,

0:39:33.560 --> 0:39:35.640
<v Speaker 11>he was twenty two points underwater.

0:39:35.760 --> 0:39:38.560
<v Speaker 4>Holy cow, you look at Donald Trump. It's just a

0:39:38.600 --> 0:39:40.160
<v Speaker 4>different planet entirely.

0:39:40.239 --> 0:39:42.440
<v Speaker 10>I mean, the gulf between these two is wider than

0:39:42.480 --> 0:39:44.600
<v Speaker 10>the Gulf of America or Mexico, depending on which side

0:39:44.600 --> 0:39:46.520
<v Speaker 10>of the are you stand on He's at plus two.

0:39:46.880 --> 0:39:48.200
<v Speaker 4>So look at this.

0:39:48.080 --> 0:39:50.840
<v Speaker 6>Particular point, Americans are giving Donald Trump the benefit of

0:39:50.880 --> 0:39:51.280
<v Speaker 6>the doubt.

0:39:51.320 --> 0:39:54.080
<v Speaker 11>He's doing considerably better than Joe Biden was.

0:39:54.040 --> 0:39:57.040
<v Speaker 4>Doing on the handling of the Russia Ukraine conflict.

0:39:57.239 --> 0:40:00.279
<v Speaker 3>Joining me now is comic and host of Primetime with

0:40:00.440 --> 0:40:05.319
<v Speaker 3>Alex Stein on Blaze TV. Alex Stein. Those numbers are

0:40:05.360 --> 0:40:09.600
<v Speaker 3>for all voters, but among Republican voters, amongst Trumps supporters,

0:40:09.640 --> 0:40:11.800
<v Speaker 3>the figures are much higher.

0:40:12.360 --> 0:40:13.000
<v Speaker 4>And I've got to.

0:40:12.960 --> 0:40:16.719
<v Speaker 3>Say it's mighty nice to see CNN forced to.

0:40:17.080 --> 0:40:18.000
<v Speaker 4>Report all of that.

0:40:19.880 --> 0:40:22.439
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, I know, it does feel nice to see them

0:40:22.680 --> 0:40:25.040
<v Speaker 7>have to actually, you know, show Donald Trump in a

0:40:25.040 --> 0:40:28.360
<v Speaker 7>positive light. But I still don't believe anything that's CNN

0:40:28.400 --> 0:40:31.920
<v Speaker 7>posts with numbers. I don't trust them whatsoever. But listen,

0:40:31.960 --> 0:40:34.279
<v Speaker 7>people are sick of it. There's people struggling in California

0:40:34.320 --> 0:40:37.279
<v Speaker 7>with the wildfires, there's people struggling in North Carolina, and

0:40:37.280 --> 0:40:39.320
<v Speaker 7>there's people that are just struggling because of the inflation

0:40:39.360 --> 0:40:42.120
<v Speaker 7>that Biden caused us. So listen, we're sick of sending

0:40:42.239 --> 0:40:45.160
<v Speaker 7>billions of dollars to Ukraine where American citizens on both

0:40:45.200 --> 0:40:47.520
<v Speaker 7>sides of the aisle are struggling, So we're sick of

0:40:47.520 --> 0:40:49.440
<v Speaker 7>this warrant in his end right now.

0:40:51.800 --> 0:40:54.920
<v Speaker 3>Now, today we had the first Lady at the Capitol.

0:40:55.040 --> 0:40:58.920
<v Speaker 3>She attended a roundtable in support of the Take It

0:40:59.120 --> 0:41:02.480
<v Speaker 3>Down Act, is a bill that seeks to protect people

0:41:02.520 --> 0:41:08.600
<v Speaker 3>from the others sharing non consensual sexually explicit images as

0:41:08.600 --> 0:41:11.560
<v Speaker 3>well as deep fake pornography.

0:41:11.600 --> 0:41:15.960
<v Speaker 4>It's a relatively new issue. Let's hear from Millennia.

0:41:16.040 --> 0:41:21.400
<v Speaker 9>A fifteen year old, brave young woman, Aliston Spears, used

0:41:21.560 --> 0:41:28.120
<v Speaker 9>AI to create non consensual intimate images of her and

0:41:28.200 --> 0:41:33.960
<v Speaker 9>then spread the images across social media. They superimposed her

0:41:34.040 --> 0:41:41.640
<v Speaker 9>face into pornographic content without her consent, solely to humilate Alex.

0:41:41.960 --> 0:41:47.000
<v Speaker 3>I've always seen her as a massive asset and underutilized asset,

0:41:47.160 --> 0:41:50.960
<v Speaker 3>I would argue in the Trump cap she's clearly passionate

0:41:51.000 --> 0:41:52.000
<v Speaker 3>about this project.

0:41:53.880 --> 0:41:56.000
<v Speaker 7>Well, you know, I think Taylor Swift will agree with

0:41:56.120 --> 0:41:58.239
<v Speaker 7>Millennia that this is very important. And you know, this

0:41:58.320 --> 0:42:01.080
<v Speaker 7>is a serious issue that happens with not just well

0:42:01.120 --> 0:42:04.600
<v Speaker 7>known people on the Internet, but small unknown people. So

0:42:05.000 --> 0:42:07.000
<v Speaker 7>you know, you have no privacy, and I'm happy that

0:42:07.080 --> 0:42:09.920
<v Speaker 7>Milania is actually doing something to protect people's privacy.

0:42:10.160 --> 0:42:14.800
<v Speaker 3>And well, I wasn't even aware that these deep fakes

0:42:14.880 --> 0:42:17.759
<v Speaker 3>were being used, I don't know, to blackmail people, to

0:42:17.880 --> 0:42:23.640
<v Speaker 3>intimidate them, so where they just manufacture pornography that features

0:42:23.680 --> 0:42:28.279
<v Speaker 3>someone's face and then use that to terrorize them. So

0:42:28.800 --> 0:42:31.200
<v Speaker 3>it is frightening what they're able to do these days.

0:42:31.200 --> 0:42:31.600
<v Speaker 4>Alex.

0:42:33.160 --> 0:42:35.720
<v Speaker 7>Oh yeah, I mean with technology, you can make anything

0:42:35.760 --> 0:42:39.200
<v Speaker 7>look real. So it's a very scary dark future with

0:42:39.280 --> 0:42:42.080
<v Speaker 7>the technology that they can do with all of this

0:42:42.320 --> 0:42:46.960
<v Speaker 7>AI generated pornography. So this is necessary and I hope

0:42:47.000 --> 0:42:48.719
<v Speaker 7>that we can stop it. But Reata, I don't know

0:42:48.760 --> 0:42:52.399
<v Speaker 7>if you can stop AI generated images like this. It's

0:42:52.440 --> 0:42:55.600
<v Speaker 7>just it's going to be difficult.

0:42:56.440 --> 0:42:59.080
<v Speaker 3>Now I've got some good news, more good news from

0:42:59.160 --> 0:43:04.280
<v Speaker 3>the border. Illegal crossings have plummeted further. Latest data shows

0:43:04.320 --> 0:43:10.560
<v Speaker 3>that February was the lowest illegal crossings in history. That's

0:43:10.600 --> 0:43:13.480
<v Speaker 3>the clime they're from the White House, just eight thousand

0:43:13.800 --> 0:43:15.680
<v Speaker 3>to three hundred and twenty six.

0:43:16.760 --> 0:43:17.080
<v Speaker 4>Alex.

0:43:17.160 --> 0:43:20.719
<v Speaker 3>They said this couldn't be done. They said this was

0:43:22.040 --> 0:43:23.280
<v Speaker 3>issues that were.

0:43:23.800 --> 0:43:25.560
<v Speaker 4>That America could not address.

0:43:25.680 --> 0:43:30.840
<v Speaker 3>The people were being persecuted in countries in South America

0:43:30.920 --> 0:43:33.440
<v Speaker 3>and they were fleeing for their life and nothing was

0:43:33.480 --> 0:43:37.280
<v Speaker 3>going to stop the flow of illegal immigrants, and Donald

0:43:37.280 --> 0:43:41.080
<v Speaker 3>Trump within a month has got the numbers down to this.

0:43:41.160 --> 0:43:42.399
<v Speaker 4>I mean, this is astonishing.

0:43:44.239 --> 0:43:47.359
<v Speaker 7>Well, you know, and I'm not trying to lessen all

0:43:47.400 --> 0:43:49.640
<v Speaker 7>the great work that Trump administration has done, but really

0:43:49.640 --> 0:43:52.040
<v Speaker 7>and truly, they've just stopped people from coming here by

0:43:52.080 --> 0:43:54.760
<v Speaker 7>not subsidizing their trips here by giving them free hotel

0:43:54.840 --> 0:43:57.120
<v Speaker 7>rooms and free flights around the country. So, yes, Donald

0:43:57.160 --> 0:43:58.719
<v Speaker 7>Trump is doing a great job. But all he had

0:43:58.719 --> 0:44:00.799
<v Speaker 7>to do was say stop coming, not getting a free

0:44:00.800 --> 0:44:03.399
<v Speaker 7>handout anymore, and now they can't afford to come here

0:44:03.440 --> 0:44:05.480
<v Speaker 7>on their own. So Tom Holman's doing a great job.

0:44:05.520 --> 0:44:07.799
<v Speaker 7>President Trump is doing a great job. But this is

0:44:07.840 --> 0:44:10.480
<v Speaker 7>a simple problem that they could have solved four years ago.

0:44:10.520 --> 0:44:12.839
<v Speaker 7>And listen, I understand there are people that are having

0:44:12.880 --> 0:44:15.840
<v Speaker 7>issues in countries, and there are, you know, real reasons

0:44:15.880 --> 0:44:17.759
<v Speaker 7>why a person would need to claim asylum, but we

0:44:17.840 --> 0:44:19.960
<v Speaker 7>have had an open border policy where people have been

0:44:20.000 --> 0:44:22.160
<v Speaker 7>able to manipulate it and just say that they're claiming

0:44:22.160 --> 0:44:25.240
<v Speaker 7>asylum and come into our country and receive better social

0:44:25.800 --> 0:44:28.920
<v Speaker 7>security benefits or social services than even some of our

0:44:28.960 --> 0:44:32.640
<v Speaker 7>military veterans. So it's absolutely disgusting and the Trump administration

0:44:32.960 --> 0:44:35.120
<v Speaker 7>has put their foot down, and now people are less

0:44:35.160 --> 0:44:37.240
<v Speaker 7>motivated to come here and illegally across our border.

0:44:39.520 --> 0:44:43.160
<v Speaker 3>Well, I always knew that this would happen, but the

0:44:43.239 --> 0:44:46.640
<v Speaker 3>speed at which it has happened has surprised me.

0:44:46.840 --> 0:44:48.040
<v Speaker 4>It has just been.

0:44:49.440 --> 0:44:54.080
<v Speaker 3>Amazing how quickly they have just pulled those pull factors

0:44:54.239 --> 0:44:56.719
<v Speaker 3>off the table. And guess what if you take the

0:44:56.760 --> 0:44:59.800
<v Speaker 3>sugar off the table, the numbers stop coming.

0:45:00.840 --> 0:45:03.960
<v Speaker 4>Canada and Mexico, I'm very happy they've run out of time.

0:45:04.120 --> 0:45:05.359
<v Speaker 4>The tariffs are right.

0:45:05.640 --> 0:45:07.600
<v Speaker 11>Is there any room left for Canada and Mexico to

0:45:07.640 --> 0:45:08.880
<v Speaker 11>make a deal before midnight?

0:45:08.920 --> 0:45:11.560
<v Speaker 6>And should we expect those Chinese tariffs the extra extra

0:45:11.600 --> 0:45:12.320
<v Speaker 6>ten percent.

0:45:12.080 --> 0:45:15.719
<v Speaker 10>To take a room left or Mexico or for Canada. No,

0:45:15.840 --> 0:45:18.759
<v Speaker 10>the tariffs, you know, they're all set. They go into effect.

0:45:18.520 --> 0:45:24.160
<v Speaker 3>Tomorrow, alex We know Canada and Mexico understandably unhappy about

0:45:24.160 --> 0:45:24.360
<v Speaker 3>all this.

0:45:25.360 --> 0:45:27.359
<v Speaker 4>What's the reaction being in.

0:45:27.280 --> 0:45:31.239
<v Speaker 3>The States because imports from those countries are going to

0:45:31.320 --> 0:45:34.160
<v Speaker 3>cost more? Is there any sort of a backlash to

0:45:34.200 --> 0:45:35.040
<v Speaker 3>these tariffs?

0:45:36.600 --> 0:45:38.279
<v Speaker 7>You know, I do think there is going to be

0:45:38.320 --> 0:45:40.399
<v Speaker 7>a you know, a temporary backlash where you know, it's

0:45:40.440 --> 0:45:42.279
<v Speaker 7>going to cost us some money in the short term,

0:45:42.280 --> 0:45:43.799
<v Speaker 7>but I think in the long term it's going to

0:45:43.800 --> 0:45:46.160
<v Speaker 7>be better for our country if we can actually, you know,

0:45:46.320 --> 0:45:49.680
<v Speaker 7>tax these people correctly, because we've been giving them basically

0:45:49.719 --> 0:45:52.400
<v Speaker 7>free money, and Mexico needs to play ball, and I

0:45:52.440 --> 0:45:54.279
<v Speaker 7>don't think they've done enough, and they haven't stepped up

0:45:54.320 --> 0:45:56.640
<v Speaker 7>to the plate enough and to satisfy Donald Trump. So

0:45:57.000 --> 0:45:59.120
<v Speaker 7>at this point, I think they're necessary, and yes, we

0:45:59.160 --> 0:46:00.960
<v Speaker 7>are going to feel the pain. But now you see

0:46:01.000 --> 0:46:03.319
<v Speaker 7>car manufacturers saying they're gonna build cars, They're gonna build

0:46:03.360 --> 0:46:05.759
<v Speaker 7>Hondas in America. So in the end it will be

0:46:05.760 --> 0:46:07.640
<v Speaker 7>better for our country, even though it might hurt in.

0:46:07.640 --> 0:46:08.600
<v Speaker 11>The short term.

0:46:10.320 --> 0:46:14.040
<v Speaker 3>Well, yeah, this is all about long term boosting manufacturing

0:46:14.040 --> 0:46:19.280
<v Speaker 3>in America, boosting investment, and making it an even bigger

0:46:19.480 --> 0:46:22.560
<v Speaker 3>economic powerhouse. Now I have to ask you about the

0:46:22.560 --> 0:46:27.080
<v Speaker 3>oscars before you go. They were on overnight. What was

0:46:27.120 --> 0:46:29.719
<v Speaker 3>the highlight for you? There were so many highlights.

0:46:31.000 --> 0:46:33.440
<v Speaker 7>Oh my gosh, what a virtue signal fest. I do

0:46:33.520 --> 0:46:35.680
<v Speaker 7>have to say. I thought Conan O'Brien did a good job,

0:46:35.719 --> 0:46:38.360
<v Speaker 7>and I really liked Adam Sandler, you know, wearing his

0:46:38.920 --> 0:46:41.680
<v Speaker 7>basketball shorts. That was the highlight of the night for me.

0:46:41.800 --> 0:46:44.600
<v Speaker 7>But you know, just the virtue signaling and the Academy.

0:46:44.719 --> 0:46:46.480
<v Speaker 7>But you know what, Reta, Do you remember how cool

0:46:46.520 --> 0:46:48.920
<v Speaker 7>the Academy Awards used to be. Everybody was watching it.

0:46:48.960 --> 0:46:50.880
<v Speaker 7>I mean there was a Sunday night the whole world

0:46:50.920 --> 0:46:54.680
<v Speaker 7>watched it. Now nobody cares. So Hollywood has lost its luster.

0:46:55.160 --> 0:46:57.080
<v Speaker 7>And it's actually a sad sight to see because I

0:46:57.120 --> 0:47:00.040
<v Speaker 7>didn't see one of the movies nominated this year. You

0:47:00.120 --> 0:47:02.960
<v Speaker 7>need to make better stuff that you know people can relate.

0:47:02.760 --> 0:47:08.480
<v Speaker 3>To, and they need to actually remove all these diversity

0:47:09.840 --> 0:47:15.320
<v Speaker 3>requirements for nominees and also, yeah, make better movies, pick

0:47:15.400 --> 0:47:16.279
<v Speaker 3>better options.

0:47:16.320 --> 0:47:18.120
<v Speaker 4>But I don't think you're alone.

0:47:18.160 --> 0:47:21.440
<v Speaker 3>I think many people have not seen or even heard

0:47:21.480 --> 0:47:26.360
<v Speaker 3>of some of these nominations, and it's lost all relevance.

0:47:26.800 --> 0:47:31.240
<v Speaker 3>It's no longer a night where you tune in eagerly

0:47:31.360 --> 0:47:33.759
<v Speaker 3>to see who's going to be the best actor and

0:47:33.760 --> 0:47:37.680
<v Speaker 3>the best actress. And I was surprised. I've got to say, though,

0:47:37.719 --> 0:47:41.160
<v Speaker 3>that there wasn't more political activism. There's a teeny tiny bit,

0:47:41.200 --> 0:47:44.480
<v Speaker 3>but given that it's the first month of Trump's second term,

0:47:44.880 --> 0:47:48.120
<v Speaker 3>I was expecting to see speech after speech after speech

0:47:48.200 --> 0:47:52.960
<v Speaker 3>decrying the state of America and Maga and all things Trump.

0:47:53.360 --> 0:47:54.239
<v Speaker 4>But I don't know.

0:47:54.280 --> 0:47:58.040
<v Speaker 3>Even Hollywood appears to have read the room, Alex Stein,

0:47:58.160 --> 0:48:00.000
<v Speaker 3>It's always a pleasure. Thank you so much for your

0:48:00.040 --> 0:48:00.600
<v Speaker 3>time tonight.

0:48:02.000 --> 0:48:03.800
<v Speaker 7>Thank you for having me read. Always a pleasure.

0:48:04.520 --> 0:48:06.440
<v Speaker 4>And that's all the time we have tonight.

0:48:06.560 --> 0:48:09.640
<v Speaker 3>I'll see you tomorrow night at eleven, but don't go

0:48:09.680 --> 0:48:10.440
<v Speaker 3>anywhere near.

0:48:10.520 --> 0:48:11.760
<v Speaker 4>Tonight is up next
