1 00:00:02,840 --> 00:00:04,519 Speaker 1: On scoring Leeds Ostrodia. 2 00:00:05,240 --> 00:00:07,280 Speaker 2: This is the Wider Panalty Show. 3 00:00:08,640 --> 00:00:11,560 Speaker 3: Good evening and welcome to the reader Panety Show coming. 4 00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:15,280 Speaker 4: Up tonight, newspoll is in and the Coalition has nosedive 5 00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:18,480 Speaker 4: to its lowest point in forty years. 6 00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:20,920 Speaker 3: The panel will be here shortly to unpack all that. 7 00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:23,080 Speaker 3: The brilliant Josh Hammer. 8 00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:26,520 Speaker 4: Will have the latest from the US, including what is undoubtedly, 9 00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:29,360 Speaker 4: in my mind, the biggest story of the yeah. 10 00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:31,480 Speaker 3: Perhaps decade, and later. 11 00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:33,520 Speaker 4: In the hour kins Is Schofield will tell us more 12 00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:38,560 Speaker 4: about that infamous Coldplay kiss Camp saga and Left He's losing. 13 00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:41,400 Speaker 3: It is a colleidoscope of crazy. 14 00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:46,639 Speaker 5: How long do all of the voices against this horrific 15 00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:50,640 Speaker 5: administration have in terms of their careers? 16 00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:54,279 Speaker 4: But first, the data from the latest News poll is 17 00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:58,120 Speaker 4: in and it's devastating for the Liberal Party and new 18 00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:02,160 Speaker 4: leader Susan Lee. Where As extended it's two party per 19 00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:05,600 Speaker 4: therred lea to fifty seven to forty three percent over 20 00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:09,320 Speaker 4: the Coalition. That's even better than the election result, which 21 00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:13,280 Speaker 4: was a landslide to Labor. Support for the Coalition has 22 00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:18,600 Speaker 4: noseedive to its lowest point in forty years, the party 23 00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:22,720 Speaker 4: attracting just twenty nine percent of the primary vote, the 24 00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:27,080 Speaker 4: worst recorded primary vote for the Coalition since newspol started 25 00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:32,080 Speaker 4: recording the data point back in nineteen eighty five. Joining 26 00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:35,679 Speaker 4: me now for more on this is chief economist and Senior. 27 00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:37,440 Speaker 3: Fellow at the Institute of Public Affairs. 28 00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:41,920 Speaker 4: Adam Crichton and News Corps senior writer Patrick Carlyon. Adam 29 00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:44,480 Speaker 4: will start with you. Doesn't get much worse than this. 30 00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:51,320 Speaker 4: Support for the Coalition has fallen further after they recorded 31 00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:55,360 Speaker 4: their worst ever election result as far as a primary 32 00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:57,960 Speaker 4: vote goes. I was thirty one point eight percent and 33 00:01:58,040 --> 00:01:59,680 Speaker 4: we're now down to twenty nine. 34 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,600 Speaker 6: It's pretty bad, but I'm not really that surprised. I mean, 35 00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:04,360 Speaker 6: there was just a huge wipeout, as you said, and 36 00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:06,240 Speaker 6: I think most of the electorate's not really paying attention 37 00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:09,200 Speaker 6: to politics at the moment. We don't have another election 38 00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:12,239 Speaker 6: for a few years. They still don't really know Susan lay. 39 00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:15,840 Speaker 6: That's going to take some time, I think so. But 40 00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:17,840 Speaker 6: I think the most important thing is that they need 41 00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:20,640 Speaker 6: an issue to differentiate themselves from the government, and they 42 00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:22,320 Speaker 6: don't really have that yet. In fact, I can't think 43 00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:23,840 Speaker 6: off the top of my head of one thing that 44 00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:26,560 Speaker 6: they are totally different from the Labor Party on and 45 00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:28,400 Speaker 6: I think Barnaby Choice is right this week when he 46 00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:32,200 Speaker 6: said that they should the coalition should undertake to dump 47 00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:34,680 Speaker 6: net zero. So I think that's one idea that they 48 00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:36,400 Speaker 6: might pursue, and I think should pursue. 49 00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:40,880 Speaker 4: What they don't seem to have the courage to do 50 00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:45,919 Speaker 4: the work Patrick. They really need to decide who they are, 51 00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:48,919 Speaker 4: what they stand for, what sets them apart from Labor. 52 00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:50,040 Speaker 3: Why are they even there? 53 00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:54,760 Speaker 4: And we're not getting that, you know that obsessing about 54 00:02:54,760 --> 00:03:01,080 Speaker 4: things like quotas rather than sb significant issues like energy policy, 55 00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:05,480 Speaker 4: like immigration policy. I mean that's a huge issue in 56 00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:07,600 Speaker 4: this country. And yes they did go to the last 57 00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:11,000 Speaker 4: election with a lower migration level than. 58 00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:14,680 Speaker 3: Labor, but it wasn't that much lower. It wasn't that different. 59 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:15,440 Speaker 5: That's right. 60 00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:18,960 Speaker 2: That point of distinction between the parties has got very blurred, 61 00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:22,360 Speaker 2: and they bug it up the election totally. One in 62 00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:25,600 Speaker 2: two people women didn't want to vote for the Liberal Party. 63 00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:30,320 Speaker 2: I mean, there were groundbreakingly bad policies that were taken 64 00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:33,640 Speaker 2: to that election. And look, I think forming policy that 65 00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:35,680 Speaker 2: works is going to take time. To be fair, it's 66 00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:38,800 Speaker 2: five minutes since the election. As Adam said, no, I 67 00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:42,080 Speaker 2: know Susan Lee. It is going to take time, but 68 00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:43,200 Speaker 2: they do need to fix it. 69 00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:44,160 Speaker 1: They have to work. 70 00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:46,760 Speaker 2: Out how to be appealing to more Australians. It's down 71 00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:49,760 Speaker 2: below thirty percent, that's less than one in three. 72 00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:53,800 Speaker 4: Well, it's not a problem that started since Susan Lee 73 00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:56,760 Speaker 4: became leader. This is a problem they had at the election. 74 00:03:56,960 --> 00:04:01,119 Speaker 4: That's possibly why they did so badly because who are they? 75 00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:05,480 Speaker 4: They seem to be like labor light alternative on Susan Lee. 76 00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:08,000 Speaker 4: Her she's been in the job a couple of months 77 00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:11,360 Speaker 4: of approval rating is that thirty five percent? That's not 78 00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:17,039 Speaker 4: good And when it comes to preferred PM, she's predictably 79 00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:22,240 Speaker 4: trailing Anthony ALBERNIZI he is on fifty two percent, thirty 80 00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:26,600 Speaker 4: two percent for Susan Lee and sixteen percent undecided. Is 81 00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:29,200 Speaker 4: that where we would expect her to be, Adam? Is 82 00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:34,080 Speaker 4: that a poor performance or what you'd expect at this point? 83 00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:34,240 Speaker 7: Well? 84 00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:36,080 Speaker 3: I think probably what I would expect. 85 00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:37,680 Speaker 6: I mean, I did notice that Channel nine read a 86 00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:40,720 Speaker 6: very positive for sixty minutes about her on Sunday night, 87 00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:42,760 Speaker 6: So she's getting some good press out there. 88 00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:48,279 Speaker 3: That could change that helps not really, no one's watching anymore. 89 00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:50,560 Speaker 6: But look, look, I just you know, it's hard to 90 00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:52,679 Speaker 6: know yet, but she hasn't really put down her colors 91 00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:54,400 Speaker 6: yet in terms of what she stands for. It's just 92 00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:57,080 Speaker 6: all motherhood statements so far, and until I think she does, 93 00:04:57,440 --> 00:04:59,040 Speaker 6: most people are going to withhold their judgment. 94 00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:02,160 Speaker 3: Well my problem with her. I've got lots of problems with. 95 00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:08,159 Speaker 4: Patrick, but her issues are precisely what the biggest issues 96 00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:11,520 Speaker 4: for the Liberal Party aret, which is lack of conviction. 97 00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:14,960 Speaker 4: You look at where she has stood on significant issues 98 00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:19,040 Speaker 4: and the flip flopping we've seen, whether it's been the 99 00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:23,120 Speaker 4: live sheep trade, whether it's been tax carts, whether it's 100 00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:27,200 Speaker 4: been the voice. I mean, how can she possibly have 101 00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:30,479 Speaker 4: the Liberals come to a position where we know who 102 00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:32,840 Speaker 4: they are and what they stand for when she doesn't 103 00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:35,400 Speaker 4: know who she is and what she stands for. 104 00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:37,960 Speaker 2: Looking back, you look at Peter Darton. It seems like 105 00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:39,839 Speaker 2: a long time ago, but he was sort of flying 106 00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:42,279 Speaker 2: in the polls because he did appear to be a 107 00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:46,160 Speaker 2: conviction politician. This is way before May this year. He 108 00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:49,360 Speaker 2: knew what he thought, he knew what to say, and 109 00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:51,960 Speaker 2: we really do need that kind of leadership sort of 110 00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:55,040 Speaker 2: to set the Liberal Party apart from the Labor Party 111 00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:57,480 Speaker 2: and to actually show the world that they've got something 112 00:05:57,520 --> 00:05:59,560 Speaker 2: to have reasons to be voted for. 113 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:03,040 Speaker 4: Well, the Peter Dutton we saw throughout the Voice campaign 114 00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:06,400 Speaker 4: was very different to the Peter Dutton missaw in the 115 00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:10,479 Speaker 4: election campaign and the results reflected that. Now let's go 116 00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:14,080 Speaker 4: to another horrific arm for robbery in Melbourne, this time 117 00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:16,320 Speaker 4: at the Central Square shopping. 118 00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:18,000 Speaker 3: Center in Altna Meadows. 119 00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:20,680 Speaker 8: The victim is a thirty three year old man who 120 00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:23,960 Speaker 8: police say was attacked with an edged weapon after being 121 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,799 Speaker 8: approached by a group of men. Police say the offenders 122 00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:30,679 Speaker 8: fled with his phone. Ambulance Victoria has confirmed the victim 123 00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:34,359 Speaker 8: suffered serious lacerations to his arm, and witnesses at the 124 00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:37,839 Speaker 8: shopping center have told me there was blood everywhere and 125 00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:42,000 Speaker 8: the man's hand was only partly attached. Tonight seven News 126 00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:45,920 Speaker 8: understands he's having the lower part of his arm amputated. 127 00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:51,039 Speaker 4: Just absolutely shocking violence, Adam, and all that for a phone. 128 00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:52,920 Speaker 3: I mean, what has become of Melbourne? 129 00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:54,920 Speaker 6: And also too, they were using machepies, which I thought 130 00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:58,479 Speaker 6: we banned in this state coming obviously not working. 131 00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:00,839 Speaker 4: But I'm sure you know you could cut thems with 132 00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:02,080 Speaker 4: other eedged weapons. 133 00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:04,480 Speaker 3: I'm not sure a machete band. It's not to make light. 134 00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:07,000 Speaker 6: I mean, it's absolutely horrific. Obviously, you know we're hearing 135 00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:08,880 Speaker 6: more and more of these kind of crimes all the time, 136 00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:10,760 Speaker 6: at least that's my sense. And indeed I check the 137 00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:14,440 Speaker 6: statistics today, Victorian crime statistics, and sure enough, incidents are 138 00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:18,920 Speaker 6: up twenty two percent in twelve months. That's that's an extraordinary. 139 00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:20,880 Speaker 3: Increase and coming from a high base. 140 00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:24,760 Speaker 4: It's not like we've had, you know, this falling crime 141 00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:27,360 Speaker 4: level and now suddenly we've had an increase. 142 00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:28,240 Speaker 3: Patrick. 143 00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:32,280 Speaker 4: This incident comes just a day after a seventeen year 144 00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:35,640 Speaker 4: old boy was left with critical injuries after being stabbed 145 00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:39,520 Speaker 4: at broad Meadows Central shopping Center. We've seen the violence 146 00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:43,600 Speaker 4: in north Land shopping center. You would think shopping centers 147 00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:46,520 Speaker 4: would be one of the safer places you'd be feel 148 00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:50,640 Speaker 4: comfortable your kids being there, but not these days. 149 00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:53,040 Speaker 2: And look, this is not an isolated story or these 150 00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:55,640 Speaker 2: two stories. This is happening. We're talking about this every week. 151 00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:59,080 Speaker 2: This has been going on for years. As Melbournians, there's 152 00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:01,680 Speaker 2: a sense of there's a perception that we're not safe 153 00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:05,320 Speaker 2: and we've got kids marauding with machetes, and we've got 154 00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:07,720 Speaker 2: the band coming in I think that starts on September one. 155 00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:09,480 Speaker 2: That will make absolutely. 156 00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:10,920 Speaker 1: No difference to the violence levels. 157 00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:15,160 Speaker 2: Screwdrivers, kitchen knives are pretty handy at hurting people, and 158 00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:17,160 Speaker 2: this has been festering for years. And the fact that 159 00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:20,880 Speaker 2: the bail laws weren't hardened up earlier and you didn't 160 00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:24,320 Speaker 2: have crackdowns, we really are suffering for that now. It's 161 00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:25,440 Speaker 2: manifestering saw. 162 00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:26,640 Speaker 3: It has been. 163 00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:31,400 Speaker 4: And the victims here, you really feel for them because 164 00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:35,320 Speaker 4: not only have they being victims of this horrific violence, 165 00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:39,360 Speaker 4: but often they see the alleged defenders given bail over 166 00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:42,640 Speaker 4: and over again. Really, the faith in the justice system 167 00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:46,200 Speaker 4: in this state, I think is at historic lows. 168 00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:47,080 Speaker 3: That's my feeling. 169 00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:49,200 Speaker 6: I would say too that with these crimes, the media 170 00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:51,960 Speaker 6: never reports on the background of the perpetrators. But I 171 00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:53,960 Speaker 6: think most people out there in kind of normal land 172 00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:55,600 Speaker 6: would be watching this and they would probably think these 173 00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:58,000 Speaker 6: people are immigrants. Whether they're right or wrong, that's probably 174 00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,440 Speaker 6: what they got to think. And this crime spy does 175 00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:02,840 Speaker 6: correlate with a huge increase in immigration in recent years, 176 00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:04,480 Speaker 6: and I think most people would put those things together 177 00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:06,360 Speaker 6: and make the link. Whether it's right or wrong, I 178 00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:08,640 Speaker 6: don't know in this case, but that's what people would think. 179 00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:12,640 Speaker 4: Yeah, and I would think a lot of the assailants 180 00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:15,920 Speaker 4: or alleged assailants may be born and bred here there, 181 00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:20,880 Speaker 4: maybe second generation, the third generation, but often that is 182 00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:23,720 Speaker 4: the perception that this is something that is not spoken 183 00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:28,560 Speaker 4: about because of cultural sensitivities. 184 00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:32,640 Speaker 3: Now let's move along to Mornington Council. 185 00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:36,920 Speaker 4: It's been revealed that the secret anti Australia flag guidelines 186 00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:41,640 Speaker 4: at the Mornington Pninsula Council which resulted in the infamous 187 00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:46,000 Speaker 4: Kindergarten pamphlet being published without the Australian flag, all sorts 188 00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:48,559 Speaker 4: of other flags there, but not the Australian flag. Well, 189 00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:52,720 Speaker 4: it even defied advice from the Rainbow Local Government Group, 190 00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:57,120 Speaker 4: which is part of the Victorian Pride lobby. Now, adam 191 00:09:57,160 --> 00:10:00,080 Speaker 4: not for one second suggesting the counselor should be listening 192 00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:05,120 Speaker 4: to these activists. But even the activists in this space 193 00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:09,400 Speaker 4: are less extreme than the council and its bureaucrats. 194 00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:10,440 Speaker 3: I mean, it is. 195 00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:15,440 Speaker 4: Astonishing that they are triggered by the Australian flag. 196 00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:16,000 Speaker 9: I know it. 197 00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:17,160 Speaker 10: Look, I mean it's quite funny. 198 00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:21,320 Speaker 6: We've done research on this, We've done surveys and huge majorities. 199 00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:22,920 Speaker 1: Of Australians just want the Australian. 200 00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:25,640 Speaker 6: Flag flowing most of the time in public buildings. I 201 00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:28,160 Speaker 6: think it's more than seventy five percent. So this story 202 00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:30,800 Speaker 6: is quite amusing. As you say, there was one sentence 203 00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:32,360 Speaker 6: in that in that story that said there are six 204 00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:34,319 Speaker 6: flags that fla ot six. 205 00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:37,080 Speaker 4: How many flag polls are we erecting these days? 206 00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:37,640 Speaker 3: Ridiculous. 207 00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:40,319 Speaker 6: Most other countries will never behave like that, and yet 208 00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:43,080 Speaker 6: we do, I know Canada does. It's a very strange 209 00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:44,240 Speaker 6: thing and I don't think it's good. 210 00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:44,880 Speaker 9: For national unity. 211 00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:46,440 Speaker 3: Oh it absolutely is not. 212 00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:48,920 Speaker 4: Only just had the Prime Minister doing his six day 213 00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:54,200 Speaker 4: tour of China and consistently behind him were the three flags. 214 00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:55,319 Speaker 3: I mean, I hate. 215 00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:59,640 Speaker 4: To think what other countries think of this. And as 216 00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:02,520 Speaker 4: well as the usual flags we see the Aboriginal flag, 217 00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:06,920 Speaker 4: Torres Straight Islander flag, there's also something called the Intersex 218 00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:12,959 Speaker 4: Inclusive Progress Pride flag that's flying at council properties or 219 00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:16,199 Speaker 4: at childcare centers down on the peninsula. Is this what 220 00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:18,880 Speaker 4: the folks, good folks of the Peninsula are voting for. 221 00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:19,560 Speaker 3: I don't think so. 222 00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:19,960 Speaker 7: No. 223 00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:23,040 Speaker 2: As a ratepayer at Mornington, No, I don't want all 224 00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:27,280 Speaker 2: those flags. What upset me about this is the idea 225 00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:31,520 Speaker 2: that the Australian flag is culturally unsafe. Somehow people are 226 00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:35,079 Speaker 2: offended by the unifying As Adam puts it, the. 227 00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:36,440 Speaker 1: Flag unites us. 228 00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:40,800 Speaker 2: It represents different things for different people, but it unites us. 229 00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:44,439 Speaker 2: And the idea that some segments of Australian society are 230 00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:48,120 Speaker 2: offended or too hurt to have the flag shown at 231 00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:51,400 Speaker 2: all is outrageous. That needs to be put to a 232 00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:52,400 Speaker 2: stop straight away. 233 00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:56,360 Speaker 4: Oh, it absolutely needs to be put to a stop. 234 00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:59,680 Speaker 4: I think it is so divisive and it's counterproductive. And 235 00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:02,800 Speaker 4: that's what I think the Pride Coalition we're talking about, 236 00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:06,760 Speaker 4: that this is actually leading to a backlash against the 237 00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:11,280 Speaker 4: LGBTQIA plus community, making it seem like they're the ones 238 00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:14,280 Speaker 4: pushing for this when they're quite happy for the Australian 239 00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:16,640 Speaker 4: flag to be flying because it represents. 240 00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:19,479 Speaker 3: All of us. Now, I want to get your opinions 241 00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:20,240 Speaker 3: on this story. 242 00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:22,840 Speaker 4: From the UK, they want to lower the voting age 243 00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:27,880 Speaker 4: there to sixteen. Labor are trailing reform in the polls 244 00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:30,520 Speaker 4: and obviously they're desperate to hold on to power. But 245 00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:35,079 Speaker 4: labor ministers don't even know basic laws about what sixteen 246 00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:39,520 Speaker 4: year olds can and cannot do. In England, here's UK's 247 00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:42,320 Speaker 4: Labor Environment Secretary, Steve Reid. 248 00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:44,679 Speaker 3: How old do you have to be to be legally 249 00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:45,640 Speaker 3: married in the UK? 250 00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:51,840 Speaker 10: Mister Reid, to be legally married? Mary, UK, you have 251 00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:54,920 Speaker 10: to Oh you yeah, I don't tell me how old? 252 00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:55,680 Speaker 3: Sixteen? 253 00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:56,600 Speaker 10: Eighteen? 254 00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:00,400 Speaker 3: No, it's not sixteen. This is a trap that you're colleagues. 255 00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:04,200 Speaker 11: The Deputy Prime Minister Andrela Rayner fell into. She justified 256 00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:06,480 Speaker 11: a vote since sixteen by saying that's the age you 257 00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:09,200 Speaker 11: can get married. Actually, you can only get married when 258 00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:12,480 Speaker 11: you're eighteen in this country. Why doesn't the Deputy Prime Minister, 259 00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:18,520 Speaker 11: indeed the Environment Secretary no basic laws of the UK. 260 00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:22,480 Speaker 10: Well, having votes at sixteen was something that we put 261 00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:25,600 Speaker 10: in our manifesto. We won a majority in the House 262 00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:29,199 Speaker 10: of Commons. Now we're getting ahead and we're implementing our manifesto. 263 00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:34,880 Speaker 4: Oh yes, they're all about their manifesto. Patrick, What do 264 00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:37,720 Speaker 4: you think about this? Should we be lowering the voting age? 265 00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:39,000 Speaker 4: I think we should be increasing it. 266 00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:40,560 Speaker 3: Look, I tend to agree. 267 00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:43,000 Speaker 2: When I was sixteen, I didn't care about federal politics 268 00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:46,640 Speaker 2: and I didn't care about getting married for that matter. Look, 269 00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:51,440 Speaker 2: it does skew young people vote left. It would represent 270 00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:53,840 Speaker 2: the big advan Why. 271 00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:58,040 Speaker 6: In the US though there's actually been a huge, huge 272 00:13:58,080 --> 00:13:59,760 Speaker 6: swing amongst young people to Trump. 273 00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:01,240 Speaker 1: It's not necessarily the case. 274 00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:02,319 Speaker 3: So I agree generally. 275 00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:04,199 Speaker 6: You're right, and that's probably the case for certainly here, 276 00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:06,960 Speaker 6: probably the UK. But to get the stuff, the government 277 00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:09,720 Speaker 6: is someone the knows that. Who knows in three years 278 00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:11,160 Speaker 6: what young people are going to think of it? 279 00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:12,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, they might be. 280 00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:18,360 Speaker 4: They might be very, very regretful of pushing this policy 281 00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:21,760 Speaker 4: because in the US, Yeah, those youngsters eighteen plus, eighteen 282 00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:25,120 Speaker 4: to twenty five have really swung behind Trump in a 283 00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:26,680 Speaker 4: way that no one expected. 284 00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:30,200 Speaker 3: Adam Crichton, Patrick Carline, thank you for your time. 285 00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:34,840 Speaker 4: Tonight Still to come, Lefty's Losing d plus the latest 286 00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:38,160 Speaker 4: from the US, including what is the biggest story of 287 00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:40,479 Speaker 4: the year perhaps the decade. 288 00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:54,480 Speaker 3: Josh Hammer has the details. Welcome back, It's time for 289 00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:57,920 Speaker 3: lefties losing it. Let's start with the WNBA. 290 00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:01,680 Speaker 4: They had a humorously named All Star game this weekend 291 00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:06,000 Speaker 4: and the players all wore these absurd T shirts saying 292 00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:09,720 Speaker 4: pay us what you owe us, be careful, their ladies, 293 00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:12,920 Speaker 4: be careful what you wish for, because the WNBA loses 294 00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:16,280 Speaker 4: forty million dollars a year. That's how much they lost 295 00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:19,720 Speaker 4: in twenty twenty four, and that's with the Caitlin Clark 296 00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:23,720 Speaker 4: effect that boosted interest and attendance and games. But it 297 00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:26,920 Speaker 4: seems the activists who dominate this league, and sadly, the 298 00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:30,920 Speaker 4: WNBA is a highly political product. Sadly, some of these 299 00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:35,400 Speaker 4: ladies are economically illiterate. Here is Britney Sykes holding up 300 00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:39,080 Speaker 4: a sign that says paid the players, they are paid 301 00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:42,840 Speaker 4: and their entire league is propped up by the NBA, 302 00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:46,600 Speaker 4: by the men's competition, something that is lost on a 303 00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:50,920 Speaker 4: lot of the players. Including Nefisa Collier. 304 00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:54,600 Speaker 9: Put in the blizzwead tears for the new money that's 305 00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:57,200 Speaker 9: coming in, and so we feel like we are on 306 00:15:57,200 --> 00:15:58,240 Speaker 9: a lot a piece of that pilate. 307 00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:02,320 Speaker 4: We go to create new money coming in, but it's 308 00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:05,960 Speaker 4: not enough to cover the costs. If these players understood 309 00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:10,160 Speaker 4: basic maths, the T shirts would be saying I owe. 310 00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:11,040 Speaker 3: The NBA money. 311 00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:15,520 Speaker 4: And the WNBA players are often their own worst enemies. 312 00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:18,760 Speaker 4: They are always many of them are always playing the 313 00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:23,640 Speaker 4: victim and engaging in political activism that alienates the majority 314 00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:27,680 Speaker 4: of sports fans, and they suffer from delusions of grandeur. 315 00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:31,440 Speaker 4: The sport is growing, but other than Caitlin Clark, most 316 00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:35,840 Speaker 4: sports fans couldn't name a single WNBA player, and the 317 00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:39,600 Speaker 4: brilliant Shane Gillis use that to his advantage when he 318 00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:45,200 Speaker 4: was hosting ESPN's The Spiz the Excellence in Sports Performance Awards. 319 00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:48,480 Speaker 12: Four time WNBA All Star Brittany hecks Is here, give 320 00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:54,320 Speaker 12: it up for Brittany.

Obama together with his national security team, 498 00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:09,440 Speaker 4: the likes of John Brennan and James Klapa, they manufactured 499 00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:17,720 Speaker 4: intelligence to create the entire twenty sixteen Russian election interference narrative, and. 500 00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:20,960 Speaker 17: President Obama and his team their goal was to essentially 501 00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:25,040 Speaker 17: not accept the decision of the American people and to 502 00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:30,840 Speaker 17: use this manufactured, politicized intelligence as a means to enact 503 00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:35,520 Speaker 17: what would become essentially a year's long coup against President Trump. 504 00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:39,199 Speaker 17: The years long Muller investigation that cost tax payers almost 505 00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:44,840 Speaker 17: forty million dollars, two congressional impeachments, endless smears and attacks 506 00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:47,960 Speaker 17: against not only President Trump but his family. He had 507 00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:52,639 Speaker 17: senior members of his team who were investigated, some arrested 508 00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:56,080 Speaker 17: and jailed. We had heightened and increased tensions between the 509 00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:59,199 Speaker 17: United States and Russia. The list goes on and on 510 00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:03,080 Speaker 17: about the concept quances of President Obama and his senior 511 00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:08,400 Speaker 17: cabinet members politicizing intelligence once again, and I say these 512 00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:12,240 Speaker 17: words very clearly to enact what was essentially a year's 513 00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:16,000 Speaker 17: long coup subverting the will of the American people in 514 00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:16,600 Speaker 17: that election. 515 00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:21,680 Speaker 4: That's not hyperbole, Josh. It was a coup. It was 516 00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:22,800 Speaker 4: a quiet coup. 517 00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:25,639 Speaker 3: And its impact is still being felt today. 518 00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:29,680 Speaker 16: Well, it was an attempt at a coup. The coup 519 00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:32,080 Speaker 16: failed because Donald Trump did win the twenty sixteen election. 520 00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:34,879 Speaker 16: But overall, Rita, the Russia collusion delusion, as I'd like 521 00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:37,159 Speaker 16: to cause it, as I have to call it, is 522 00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:41,320 Speaker 16: really one of the two greatest gas lighting operations perpetrate 523 00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:44,280 Speaker 16: against the American people in myer entire adult lifetime. The other, 524 00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:46,280 Speaker 16: by the way, is what we just saw last year 525 00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:49,399 Speaker 16: with the Democrats running a literal mental patient and the 526 00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:51,600 Speaker 16: lengths of that they went to conceal Joe Biden's health 527 00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:52,440 Speaker 16: for years and years. 528 00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:55,080 Speaker 1: But the Russia Gate hoax is right up there. 529 00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:57,359 Speaker 16: I mean, those are the top two hoaxes, the top 530 00:27:57,359 --> 00:28:00,280 Speaker 16: two gas lighting bamboozling operations in my lifetime. The most 531 00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:04,320 Speaker 16: astonishing thing about the Russia collusion. Delusion is twofold one 532 00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:07,119 Speaker 16: is I think we at this point, especially given what 533 00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:09,040 Speaker 16: D and I Tolsey Garett has said, we can kind 534 00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:11,080 Speaker 16: of put two and two together and realize that by 535 00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:15,359 Speaker 16: January twenty seventeen, when then FBI Director Comy formally brought 536 00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:17,840 Speaker 16: in Robert Mueller to do the whole Russia gay probe, 537 00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:19,800 Speaker 16: a probe by the way, that took up literally more 538 00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:23,000 Speaker 16: than half of the Trump presidency. Trump was not exonerated 539 00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:26,399 Speaker 16: until March twenty nineteen, if memory, sir, so, the entire 540 00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:28,399 Speaker 16: half of his first term was totally derailed by this. 541 00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:31,040 Speaker 16: But by the time Comy announced this in January of 542 00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:34,400 Speaker 16: twenty seventeen, they knew. The FBI at that time knew 543 00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:38,240 Speaker 16: that this was buck They absolutely, without question, period, full stop, 544 00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:40,040 Speaker 16: end of story, would have known that this was a 545 00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:44,760 Speaker 16: Hillary Clinton fusion GPS Perkins Cooley political hit job. Literally 546 00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:47,360 Speaker 16: in the context of the twenty sixteen political campaigns. All 547 00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:49,720 Speaker 16: that has to say that they lied. They lied through 548 00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:51,520 Speaker 16: their teeth, and it is a good thing. It is 549 00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:54,120 Speaker 16: a good thing that the Pam Bonni DOJ and the 550 00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:56,959 Speaker 16: cash Betel, FBI and all them now are now looking 551 00:28:57,000 --> 00:29:00,000 Speaker 16: into James Comy and John Brannan to try to find 552 00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:02,520 Speaker 16: I only get justice now. I look, I don't want 553 00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:04,840 Speaker 16: to mislead the viewers. I tend to be quite cynical 554 00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:07,920 Speaker 16: about these things, and we'ven't burned too many times readers, 555 00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:10,040 Speaker 16: So I'm not going to confidently predict that we're finally 556 00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:12,040 Speaker 16: going to get justice there. But the fact that to 557 00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:16,320 Speaker 16: this day, the only semblance, the only iota of justice 558 00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:19,200 Speaker 16: that we have is that a somewhat obscure former agent 559 00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:22,440 Speaker 16: by the name of Kevin Kleinsmith had his law license 560 00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:24,560 Speaker 16: temporarily temporarily revoked. 561 00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:25,000 Speaker 18: That's it. 562 00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:26,760 Speaker 1: No one has served the day in jail. 563 00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:29,280 Speaker 16: Throw all the bumps in jail, reader, This is a 564 00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:32,440 Speaker 16: world historical scandal. I am happy that we're finally seeing 565 00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:34,480 Speaker 16: the truth come out, but my god, it's a little late, 566 00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:37,080 Speaker 16: isn't it. 567 00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:37,920 Speaker 3: It's a little late. 568 00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:43,080 Speaker 4: And I think, yes, they didn't succeed, but they did 569 00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:48,080 Speaker 4: succeed in undermining Trump's first term. They did succeed in 570 00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:53,920 Speaker 4: undermining the American people's trust in America's democratic systems. 571 00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:55,800 Speaker 3: How many Democrats to this. 572 00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:59,400 Speaker 4: Day think Russia had a hand in determining the two 573 00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:01,440 Speaker 4: thousand and six exteen election that it would be a 574 00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:05,560 Speaker 4: sizable percentage to this day who don't trust the electoral 575 00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:11,760 Speaker 4: process because of this deceit. And I just think there 576 00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:15,640 Speaker 4: has to be accountability. Josh, this can't just be we 577 00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:19,680 Speaker 4: finally have some transparency, we're finally exposing the documents. The 578 00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:24,120 Speaker 4: documents are being released, We've got evidence that is indisputable 579 00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:27,600 Speaker 4: that this happened. There now needs to be charges and 580 00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:31,280 Speaker 4: people going to jail. Otherwise, what's the point of all 581 00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:34,960 Speaker 4: this basically saying, well, you know you did your best, 582 00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:35,800 Speaker 4: don't do it again. 583 00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:37,880 Speaker 1: Yeah. 584 00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:39,720 Speaker 16: No, Look, I mean unless you get some sort of 585 00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:42,680 Speaker 16: accountability for these scandals here, whether it's the Biden cover 586 00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:44,920 Speaker 16: up operation. By the way, all all of the White 587 00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:47,600 Speaker 16: House doctors from Biydminstration all of a sudden have now 588 00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:50,080 Speaker 16: discovered the Fifth Amendment. They're now cleaning the Fifth and 589 00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:53,120 Speaker 16: saying I will not testify. That's a slightly sketchy there 590 00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:55,719 Speaker 16: in that respect there when it comes to having how 591 00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:58,760 Speaker 16: about the fifty one deep state spook letter that the 592 00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:01,760 Speaker 16: Biden campaign whipped us about the Hunter Biden laptop story. 593 00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:04,400 Speaker 16: They had these fifty one deep state engines, including Brand 594 00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:07,120 Speaker 16: and Clapper, all the usual suspects, signing off within twenty 595 00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:09,640 Speaker 16: four hours readA they probably hadn't even read the New 596 00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:11,520 Speaker 16: York Post article and they said, oh, it's just Russian 597 00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:14,720 Speaker 16: disinformation there COVID nineteen. I mean, there's so many scandals 598 00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:16,640 Speaker 16: at this point where I think the American people are 599 00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:19,880 Speaker 16: just dying and dying for some sort of justice, some 600 00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:22,320 Speaker 16: sort of accountability. And the longer that we go without 601 00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:24,719 Speaker 16: any kind of accountability, the more people are going to 602 00:31:24,760 --> 00:31:27,320 Speaker 16: be searching deep in the battles of the Internet. And 603 00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:29,920 Speaker 16: the Democrats are going to just they're going to shriek 604 00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:32,600 Speaker 16: and how that. Oh, people are going to bad sources 605 00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:34,840 Speaker 16: get the information. But you know what, you fools lost 606 00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:38,160 Speaker 16: your credibility and unless than till we get some justice, 607 00:31:38,280 --> 00:31:39,640 Speaker 16: this trend is just going to continue. 608 00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:44,680 Speaker 4: Yeah, and so much of this happened after Trump one, 609 00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:48,240 Speaker 4: So during that transition period after he won in November 610 00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:53,840 Speaker 4: twenty sixteen, before he was inaugurated, is where these documents 611 00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:58,040 Speaker 4: show that the Obama administration decided, well, yeah, the evidence 612 00:31:58,080 --> 00:32:01,200 Speaker 4: shows there was no Russian intoence, but we're going to 613 00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:07,959 Speaker 4: create our own evidence and completely undermine his term in office. 614 00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:10,880 Speaker 4: And I think the media's role in this cannot be 615 00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:14,600 Speaker 4: underplayed either, Josh. They wouldn't have got away with so 616 00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:19,160 Speaker 4: much of what happened if the media held the intelligence 617 00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:22,800 Speaker 4: community held these people accountable, because there just wasn't any 618 00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:24,760 Speaker 4: evidence of what was being alleged. 619 00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:25,640 Speaker 3: There was no. 620 00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:30,200 Speaker 4: Likelihood of what they were saying, and yet the media 621 00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:34,200 Speaker 4: whip this hysteria up. Now let's move on. We had 622 00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:38,280 Speaker 4: a little argument last week over the Epstein files. You're 623 00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:40,960 Speaker 4: not too concerned with the story. 624 00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:42,040 Speaker 3: I am. 625 00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:44,600 Speaker 4: I want to know how this character came to have 626 00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:50,160 Speaker 4: this enormous wealth and influence and seemingly protection from authorities 627 00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:53,600 Speaker 4: for so much of his life. But the polls are in, 628 00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:56,080 Speaker 4: and I hate to say it, but you were right. 629 00:32:56,280 --> 00:32:58,240 Speaker 19: I think that's one surprised me a bit because of 630 00:32:58,400 --> 00:33:02,560 Speaker 19: all these complaints on going after Trump and the Xtein files. 631 00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:05,200 Speaker 1: You might think is approval ratings were going down with Republicans. 632 00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:08,600 Speaker 19: If anything, they're going up Republicans who approve of Trump. 633 00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:10,320 Speaker 19: Look at our CNN pull the prior one to eighty 634 00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:12,320 Speaker 19: six percent, the one out this week eighty. 635 00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:13,240 Speaker 1: Eight percent with Republicans. 636 00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:16,360 Speaker 19: How about Quinnipiac The prior poll eighty seven percent approval 637 00:33:16,360 --> 00:33:20,600 Speaker 19: of Republicans this week out ninety percent with Republicans. If anything, 638 00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:23,440 Speaker 19: Donald Trump's approval rating has gone up since this whole 639 00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:27,360 Speaker 19: Epstein saga started. He is at the apex or close 640 00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:30,520 Speaker 19: there too in terms of its popularity with Republican voters 641 00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:32,680 Speaker 19: Epstein Files complaints or not. 642 00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:36,200 Speaker 4: Now, to be fair, Josh, I never thought this story 643 00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:40,840 Speaker 4: was going to fracture Trump's supported basis. Some others were alleging, 644 00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:44,920 Speaker 4: but it's had no impact whatsoever. If anything, his popularity 645 00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:47,160 Speaker 4: has gone up according to those major polls. 646 00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:50,320 Speaker 16: So real, let me to clarify that I do not 647 00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:52,920 Speaker 16: think the administration has handled this well. I'll be the 648 00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:55,560 Speaker 16: very first to say that Attorney General Bond, in particular, 649 00:33:55,800 --> 00:33:59,120 Speaker 16: it is literally impossible to reconcile her various statements on this. 650 00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:02,120 Speaker 16: So I'm definitely not going to offer full scale apology 651 00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:04,680 Speaker 16: for the administration on this one. Rather, my only point 652 00:34:04,760 --> 00:34:06,360 Speaker 16: is that and I think that now we see the 653 00:34:06,360 --> 00:34:08,680 Speaker 16: polling data which corroberates what I was saying, is that 654 00:34:09,160 --> 00:34:12,200 Speaker 16: I think that the Trump ministration is winning on basically 655 00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:13,960 Speaker 16: all cylinders right now. I mean, I mean, with this 656 00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:17,560 Speaker 16: Epstein file saga aside, I mean, look at literally everything else, 657 00:34:17,600 --> 00:34:20,960 Speaker 16: border crossings down to historic lows. I mean literally approaching 658 00:34:21,160 --> 00:34:23,440 Speaker 16: zero on a day in, day out. Basis not there yet, 659 00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:26,560 Speaker 16: but we're getting shockingly close. Massive victories of the US 660 00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:29,440 Speaker 16: Supreme Court when comes to everything from chemical castration on 661 00:34:29,560 --> 00:34:33,960 Speaker 16: minors aka so called gender affirming care, to nationwide injunctions, 662 00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:36,839 Speaker 16: to various other major legal victories there. 663 00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:38,560 Speaker 1: I mean, the Trump minstration is just winning. 664 00:34:38,640 --> 00:34:41,600 Speaker 16: I mean even on Donald Trump's thus far sendature political 665 00:34:41,640 --> 00:34:44,160 Speaker 16: economy issue, the issue of tariffs, which which has been 666 00:34:44,200 --> 00:34:46,960 Speaker 16: one of the most contentious controversial issues here in the 667 00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:49,520 Speaker 16: United States. There it turns out that the new month, 668 00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:52,160 Speaker 16: which for which we have data from the federal government there, 669 00:34:52,239 --> 00:34:55,400 Speaker 16: there's actually been a massive increase in revenue into the US. 670 00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:58,200 Speaker 1: Treasury from the tariffs. So the crazy old guys even done. 671 00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:01,480 Speaker 16: It's on the tariff issue, right, So he's basically winning 672 00:35:01,520 --> 00:35:04,799 Speaker 16: on all cylinders. And my only point is, look, I mean, 673 00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:07,520 Speaker 16: the Epstein thing is definitely sketchy. There are a million 674 00:35:07,600 --> 00:35:11,239 Speaker 16: detailers there that are deeply, deeply sketchy. The suicide, I mean, 675 00:35:11,239 --> 00:35:13,600 Speaker 16: all of it. I am definitely not saying it's not sketchy. 676 00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:15,720 Speaker 16: All I'm saying is that I think the median Trump 677 00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:18,319 Speaker 16: voter voted for Trump on the kind of issues that 678 00:35:18,360 --> 00:35:21,040 Speaker 16: he is winning on, and less so for this Epstein 679 00:35:21,120 --> 00:35:23,600 Speaker 16: issue that he is not necessarily winning massively on. 680 00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:28,680 Speaker 4: Now, before you go, I'm interested in your take on 681 00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:34,520 Speaker 4: the meltdown we've seen in the media amongst actors and 682 00:35:35,239 --> 00:35:41,399 Speaker 4: commentators over Stephen Colbert's terrible, terrible program being axed. He's 683 00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:45,680 Speaker 4: been on air for thirty three years, had a massive run, 684 00:35:45,880 --> 00:35:48,760 Speaker 4: Josh was losing, and this show was losing between forty 685 00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:50,719 Speaker 4: and fifty million dollars a year. 686 00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:53,239 Speaker 3: The audience had plummeted. 687 00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:56,920 Speaker 4: And yet people are saying this is a political hit chop. 688 00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:02,120 Speaker 16: You know, I remember with Stephen Colbert was on Comedy 689 00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:03,920 Speaker 16: Central back in the day. I mean, you know, he 690 00:36:03,960 --> 00:36:06,040 Speaker 16: actually was kind of sort of funny. He did this 691 00:36:06,080 --> 00:36:09,160 Speaker 16: whole this back during the Bush administration, back when Colbert 692 00:36:09,239 --> 00:36:10,759 Speaker 16: kind of first came to power. He would kind he 693 00:36:10,800 --> 00:36:12,640 Speaker 16: would kind of pretend to be a to be a 694 00:36:12,680 --> 00:36:16,520 Speaker 16: Bush administration and John McCain Lindsay Graham esque neo conservative. 695 00:36:16,560 --> 00:36:19,200 Speaker 16: He was kind of making all these funny arguments about 696 00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:21,239 Speaker 16: going all in on a rack in Afghanistan, and it 697 00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:24,000 Speaker 16: was obviously satirical, but it was actually kind of funny 698 00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:25,800 Speaker 16: even as a conservative. I used to enjoy him, But 699 00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:29,000 Speaker 16: as soon as Colbert got the CBS Late Night gig, 700 00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:32,480 Speaker 16: I mean, he just stopped being funny essentially overnight. I 701 00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:34,600 Speaker 16: mean he lost the whole satire thing. He just kind 702 00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:37,960 Speaker 16: of an angry, snarky guy who's not particularly funny. He 703 00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:41,880 Speaker 16: brings essentially no entertainment value. So I mean, good riddance, 704 00:36:41,960 --> 00:36:44,080 Speaker 16: good freaking riddance there. I mean, this is the kind 705 00:36:44,080 --> 00:36:46,160 Speaker 16: of thing that you, frankly just love to see at 706 00:36:46,200 --> 00:36:48,080 Speaker 16: this point. Read the scout that I want to see 707 00:36:48,120 --> 00:36:51,040 Speaker 16: next is Jimmy Kimmel, because Jimmy Kimble has lost his 708 00:36:51,239 --> 00:36:55,600 Speaker 16: ever you know, he's lost his everlasting mind.

Greg Guttfeld is cleaning Up is the 718 00:37:23,520 --> 00:37:25,759 Speaker 4: highest rating in that late. 719 00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:27,759 Speaker 3: Night time slot.

The clip from the concert went viral 727 00:38:05,280 --> 00:38:09,799 Speaker 4: very quickly. Chris Martin himself called out these cheaters. 728 00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:11,680 Speaker 3: Tell us what has happened since? 729 00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:15,960 Speaker 4: The fallout professional and personal has been significant? 730 00:38:17,640 --> 00:38:20,839 Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean Chris Martin this was unintentional when he 731 00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:25,400 Speaker 9: revealed this alleged affair between astronomer CEO Andy Byron and 732 00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:29,279 Speaker 9: his company's head of HR. You know, he said, Oh, 733 00:38:29,360 --> 00:38:34,000 Speaker 9: they're either cheating or really really shy as they duck down. 734 00:38:34,840 --> 00:38:40,120 Speaker 9: He's addressed the scandal since in Madison, Wisconsin joking tonight, 735 00:38:40,160 --> 00:38:41,960 Speaker 9: we want to give a shout out to some of 736 00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:44,000 Speaker 9: you in the audience and feature a few of you 737 00:38:44,040 --> 00:38:47,440 Speaker 9: on the big screen, saying like basically warning people, if 738 00:38:47,440 --> 00:38:51,960 Speaker 9: you don't want to be seen, duck that CEO, though, 739 00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:55,200 Speaker 9: has since had to resign based on the chaos. It's 740 00:38:55,280 --> 00:38:59,400 Speaker 9: the most powerful and influential cold Play has been since 741 00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:02,920 Speaker 9: I was a teenager, basically, and I'm sure they love it. 742 00:39:05,719 --> 00:39:08,360 Speaker 3: Well. The fallout has been enormous. 743 00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:13,920 Speaker 4: Even the woman who is laughing on the side, people 744 00:39:13,920 --> 00:39:16,200 Speaker 4: are trying to find out who she is. Is she 745 00:39:16,360 --> 00:39:19,479 Speaker 4: part of the company. Has she got some culpability because 746 00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:24,799 Speaker 4: she was obviously aware of something dodgy happening between these two. 747 00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:27,360 Speaker 3: I wonder if this has had an impact. 748 00:39:27,400 --> 00:39:31,000 Speaker 4: I'm sure it has on the share price of this company, 749 00:39:31,080 --> 00:39:34,320 Speaker 4: and to have the CEO stepping down as a fairly 750 00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:39,200 Speaker 4: dramatic development. Now let's check in with actor Alec Baldwin 751 00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:44,960 Speaker 4: his wife Hilaria. We've seen her humiliate him before, and 752 00:39:45,120 --> 00:39:50,280 Speaker 4: here is her latest attempt at publicly humiliating her husband. 753 00:39:50,440 --> 00:39:53,520 Speaker 3: I don't know if he's a active. 754 00:39:53,200 --> 00:39:57,759 Speaker 4: Participant in these videos or whether she's pressuring him to 755 00:39:57,800 --> 00:40:00,399 Speaker 4: take part, but they're pretty stupid to. 756 00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:04,319 Speaker 7: Me, Marmon, he seemed to me, Marmon thing. 757 00:40:04,480 --> 00:40:12,680 Speaker 4: Tell Kinsey, as I often ask you on this program, why, I. 758 00:40:12,680 --> 00:40:16,480 Speaker 9: Mean, imagine that the universe, god whoever you believe in, 759 00:40:16,880 --> 00:40:20,640 Speaker 9: saves you from going to jail for the accidental death 760 00:40:20,960 --> 00:40:21,759 Speaker 9: of somebody. 761 00:40:22,600 --> 00:40:24,840 Speaker 18: And this is what you choose to do with your time. 762 00:40:25,239 --> 00:40:28,480 Speaker 9: This is how you give back to the world. 763 00:40:28,840 --> 00:40:30,960 Speaker 18: To these hideous TikTok videos. 764 00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:34,480 Speaker 9: I mean, uh, and this, by the way, he's a 765 00:40:34,600 --> 00:40:38,080 Speaker 9: pretty good actor. What the heck is he doing wasting 766 00:40:38,080 --> 00:40:43,320 Speaker 9: his time with Ilaria from Boston, Hillary from Boston making 767 00:40:43,360 --> 00:40:47,120 Speaker 9: these stupid videos.

You didn't go to jail. 770 00:40:55,960 --> 00:40:56,200 Speaker 11: Now. 771 00:40:56,400 --> 00:40:59,880 Speaker 4: Royal expert Sarah Vine has written in The Daily Map 772 00:41:00,239 --> 00:41:03,320 Speaker 4: that the reason King Charles is reluctant to bring Harry 773 00:41:03,440 --> 00:41:06,520 Speaker 4: back into the fold is because, and I quote here, 774 00:41:07,120 --> 00:41:10,360 Speaker 4: the Prince is a selfish brat with a pushy wife 775 00:41:10,760 --> 00:41:12,799 Speaker 4: and he can't be trusted. 776 00:41:14,440 --> 00:41:16,240 Speaker 3: Harsh kinsy, but I would say. 777 00:41:16,040 --> 00:41:20,440 Speaker 9: Fair, yeah, I mean she goes on to basically call 778 00:41:20,520 --> 00:41:23,520 Speaker 9: Prince Harry a loser, saying he's lost. 779 00:41:24,480 --> 00:41:26,000 Speaker 18: You know, what would he do? 780 00:41:26,160 --> 00:41:28,600 Speaker 9: What would he bring back to the British royal family again, 781 00:41:29,040 --> 00:41:31,960 Speaker 9: how could he contribute to society if he was brought 782 00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:35,160 Speaker 9: back into the fold. And that, really, Megan, is so 783 00:41:35,320 --> 00:41:39,520 Speaker 9: money money motivated that they're more of a liability to 784 00:41:39,560 --> 00:41:41,800 Speaker 9: the royal family than an asset. 785 00:41:44,840 --> 00:41:48,360 Speaker 4: Well it's a good point, but we're hearing a great 786 00:41:48,440 --> 00:41:52,319 Speaker 4: deal about the senior aids for the Prince and the 787 00:41:52,400 --> 00:41:59,040 Speaker 4: King meeting, setting down the groundwork for this family reunion, 788 00:41:59,080 --> 00:41:59,800 Speaker 4: and what's happening. 789 00:42:00,360 --> 00:42:02,080 Speaker 3: Is it likely to happen this year? 790 00:42:03,880 --> 00:42:07,600 Speaker 9: It could happen in September during the well Child Awards, 791 00:42:07,719 --> 00:42:11,960 Speaker 9: a quick meet and greet with King Charles and Prince Harry, 792 00:42:12,040 --> 00:42:16,160 Speaker 9: depending on the King's schedule. But I also think that 793 00:42:16,800 --> 00:42:20,360 Speaker 9: somebody leaked this story and I don't see the value 794 00:42:20,440 --> 00:42:22,560 Speaker 9: in it, and I talked to Tom Bauer about it too. 795 00:42:22,600 --> 00:42:24,000 Speaker 18: I don't see the value in. 796 00:42:23,920 --> 00:42:27,439 Speaker 9: The King leaking the story, despite the sussex Is saying 797 00:42:27,440 --> 00:42:30,040 Speaker 9: they didn't leak the story. I do believe the sussex 798 00:42:30,120 --> 00:42:32,879 Speaker 9: Is leaked the story, which goes to prove that they 799 00:42:32,960 --> 00:42:36,560 Speaker 9: can't be trusted. So why would the King risk anything 800 00:42:36,680 --> 00:42:39,680 Speaker 9: by meeting with Harry and Meghan and have Harry and 801 00:42:39,680 --> 00:42:43,000 Speaker 9: Meghan or their friends discuss what happened at that meeting? 802 00:42:45,239 --> 00:42:49,960 Speaker 4: Always defies belief. Surely Harry and Meghan know by now 803 00:42:50,120 --> 00:42:56,400 Speaker 4: that the incessant leaking they're twisting of these family dynamics 804 00:42:56,440 --> 00:43:02,400 Speaker 4: for content for their different outlets, whether it's podcasts or 805 00:43:02,440 --> 00:43:06,440 Speaker 4: their little documentary series, reality show or their Harry's book. 806 00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:10,319 Speaker 4: Surely they've realized by now that is a major grievance 807 00:43:10,600 --> 00:43:13,880 Speaker 4: for the royals and that it has to stop if 808 00:43:13,960 --> 00:43:15,640 Speaker 4: there's to be any reconciliation. 809 00:43:15,800 --> 00:43:16,560 Speaker 3: Why would they. 810 00:43:16,440 --> 00:43:20,560 Speaker 4: Continue to leak when they know it's the biggest hurdle 811 00:43:20,640 --> 00:43:21,480 Speaker 4: perhaps to. 812 00:43:23,040 --> 00:43:24,880 Speaker 3: Father and so I'm coming together again. 813 00:43:26,600 --> 00:43:28,720 Speaker 18: I think that they are so shortsighted. 814 00:43:28,880 --> 00:43:32,320 Speaker 9: And you know, Bethany Frankel once said, Megan Markle plays 815 00:43:32,440 --> 00:43:35,120 Speaker 9: checkers and not chess. I think they're always in it 816 00:43:35,160 --> 00:43:39,080 Speaker 9: for the instant gratification, and specifically with the leaking, I 817 00:43:39,239 --> 00:43:42,440 Speaker 9: wondered over the last few weeks if it was because 818 00:43:42,440 --> 00:43:46,560 Speaker 9: we saw the Wales family having such incredible coverage, Prince 819 00:43:46,600 --> 00:43:49,760 Speaker 9: William on a handsome polo horse, raising over one million 820 00:43:49,840 --> 00:43:53,800 Speaker 9: dollars for charities he believes in the Princess of Wales 821 00:43:53,840 --> 00:43:57,479 Speaker 9: on the tennis courts, with the crowd screaming we love 822 00:43:57,560 --> 00:44:00,680 Speaker 9: you Kate, and then the entire family showing up at 823 00:44:00,680 --> 00:44:05,440 Speaker 9: the at the tennis courts. So I suspected that Meghan 824 00:44:05,560 --> 00:44:08,360 Speaker 9: was very better over some positive press, and that was 825 00:44:08,400 --> 00:44:11,800 Speaker 9: why we saw a many Sussex splits. 826 00:44:14,280 --> 00:44:18,920 Speaker 4: Now popular cartoon series Family Guy. They've mocked the Ginger 827 00:44:18,960 --> 00:44:19,759 Speaker 4: in the Winter again. 828 00:44:19,800 --> 00:44:22,800 Speaker 3: It's have a look, Bryant. This is a terrible idea. 829 00:44:22,880 --> 00:44:24,520 Speaker 1: We could change the course of history. 830 00:44:24,719 --> 00:44:27,360 Speaker 2: You always say that, but doesn't history pretty much suck? 831 00:44:27,560 --> 00:44:29,800 Speaker 5: I mean the crusades, Hitler. 832 00:44:29,400 --> 00:44:32,200 Speaker 3: Prince Harry marrying Meghan Markel again. 833 00:44:32,880 --> 00:44:35,600 Speaker 15: Oh, like all of your wives are so much better. 834 00:44:37,080 --> 00:44:37,800 Speaker 3: It's not bad. 835 00:44:38,239 --> 00:44:42,239 Speaker 4: The ratings are in for Meghan's Netflix cooking show that 836 00:44:42,360 --> 00:44:47,160 Speaker 4: was called With Love Meghan. It was a massive Flopkinsey. 837 00:44:47,480 --> 00:44:51,319 Speaker 4: It came in at three hundred and eighty third in 838 00:44:51,400 --> 00:44:56,640 Speaker 4: Netflix's most views most viewed shows of twenty twenty five. 839 00:44:57,520 --> 00:45:02,320 Speaker 4: Has anyone on Netflix or perhaps even Spotify being sacked 840 00:45:02,360 --> 00:45:06,840 Speaker 4: for the enormous deal this couple got because the amount 841 00:45:06,880 --> 00:45:11,080 Speaker 4: they're being paid is completely out of proportion with the 842 00:45:11,120 --> 00:45:12,400 Speaker 4: contribution they're Maggie. 843 00:45:14,400 --> 00:45:18,680 Speaker 9: At Spotify, yes, a huge group of employees lost their 844 00:45:18,719 --> 00:45:21,200 Speaker 9: jobs and they were super angry over Harry and Meghan 845 00:45:21,280 --> 00:45:23,680 Speaker 9: Steel because they felt like it was in part to 846 00:45:23,719 --> 00:45:26,120 Speaker 9: do to Harry and Meghan Steel. But when it comes 847 00:45:26,160 --> 00:45:29,800 Speaker 9: to Netflix, you know the theories around holding on to 848 00:45:29,920 --> 00:45:33,480 Speaker 9: Megan Markel with season two of With Love Megan on 849 00:45:33,520 --> 00:45:36,760 Speaker 9: the Way are that Netflix wants to be the outlet 850 00:45:37,000 --> 00:45:41,480 Speaker 9: she takes if and when things fall apart with Prince Harry. 851 00:45:41,560 --> 00:45:46,640 Speaker 9: They want the exclusive. That's why they continue to, you know, 852 00:45:47,600 --> 00:45:51,080 Speaker 9: have that relationship with her. But you're right, this is 853 00:45:51,520 --> 00:45:55,720 Speaker 9: the return on investment is simply not there. These numbers 854 00:45:55,760 --> 00:45:59,799 Speaker 9: are embarrassing. Prince Harry's fall his Polo show was well 855 00:46:00,080 --> 00:46:02,880 Speaker 9: to the three thousands, like absolutely no one was watching. 856 00:46:02,960 --> 00:46:05,440 Speaker 9: Actually half a million people watch, just. 857 00:46:05,360 --> 00:46:08,400 Speaker 18: As many as watched Left. He's losing it. 858 00:46:08,520 --> 00:46:12,600 Speaker 9: So more people are watching you religiously than Prince Erry. 859 00:46:15,000 --> 00:46:17,520 Speaker 4: Oh yeah, we get more than that every night on 860 00:46:17,560 --> 00:46:23,120 Speaker 4: YouTube Beloon. I mean that is absolutely shocking, but completely 861 00:46:23,160 --> 00:46:25,560 Speaker 4: predictable because who wants to watch some sort of a 862 00:46:25,640 --> 00:46:29,520 Speaker 4: series on polo. I mean, it is such a niche 863 00:46:30,280 --> 00:46:34,520 Speaker 4: market you're appealing to unless the star is so compelling 864 00:46:34,560 --> 00:46:37,120 Speaker 4: that people are going to watch despite not having any 865 00:46:37,160 --> 00:46:37,799 Speaker 4: interest in. 866 00:46:38,480 --> 00:46:39,480 Speaker 3: The subject matter. 867 00:46:40,120 --> 00:46:44,280 Speaker 4: Now let's go to revelations that actress Gwyneth Paltrow felt 868 00:46:44,400 --> 00:46:48,239 Speaker 4: sad when she learned Brad Pitt had married Jennifer Aniston, 869 00:46:48,719 --> 00:46:52,160 Speaker 4: claiming that his decision to marry her was evidence that 870 00:46:52,280 --> 00:46:55,880 Speaker 4: he has terrible taste in women. And it's also alleged 871 00:46:55,920 --> 00:46:59,040 Speaker 4: that she described Brad as dumber than a sack of 872 00:47:00,160 --> 00:47:04,360 Speaker 4: sh it. Surely not, and I believe this for a second, Kinsey. 873 00:47:06,000 --> 00:47:09,440 Speaker 9: Yeah, it's just coming from Amy O'Dell's new book, Gwyneth 874 00:47:09,640 --> 00:47:13,759 Speaker 9: the Biography. And the reason that we are taking a 875 00:47:13,760 --> 00:47:17,200 Speaker 9: lot of this seriously is because Gwyneth gave some friends 876 00:47:17,200 --> 00:47:23,319 Speaker 9: and family permission to talk to Amy Odell. So I'm 877 00:47:23,400 --> 00:47:26,360 Speaker 9: taking a lot of this pretty seriously based on the 878 00:47:26,360 --> 00:47:31,400 Speaker 9: fact that Gwyneth is notoriously private and would likely burn 879 00:47:31,520 --> 00:47:35,640 Speaker 9: bridges with anyone that spoke on her behalf without her permission. 880 00:47:38,200 --> 00:47:41,160 Speaker 4: And before you go, Donald Trump has called on the 881 00:47:41,360 --> 00:47:46,440 Speaker 4: boss of the NFL's Washington Commanders to bring back the 882 00:47:46,600 --> 00:47:47,560 Speaker 4: Redskins name. 883 00:47:47,560 --> 00:47:50,160 Speaker 3: There used to be the Washington Redskins after. 884 00:47:50,600 --> 00:47:54,839 Speaker 4: They dumped that name in twenty twenty due to well, 885 00:47:54,840 --> 00:47:58,680 Speaker 4: you know, the usual nonsense of typically white people being 886 00:47:58,719 --> 00:47:59,479 Speaker 4: offended on. 887 00:47:59,400 --> 00:48:02,160 Speaker 3: Behalf of Native Americans. Kids. 888 00:48:02,160 --> 00:48:03,960 Speaker 4: See, what are the chances that we're going to see 889 00:48:04,000 --> 00:48:05,000 Speaker 4: the Redskins back? 890 00:48:06,239 --> 00:48:06,479 Speaker 18: Yeah. 891 00:48:06,480 --> 00:48:09,399 Speaker 9: He also urged the Cleveland Guardians to bring back their 892 00:48:09,480 --> 00:48:11,200 Speaker 9: previous name the Indians. 893 00:48:11,880 --> 00:48:13,440 Speaker 18: Trump says that. 894 00:48:13,200 --> 00:48:15,719 Speaker 9: The public has since moved away from what he described 895 00:48:15,760 --> 00:48:18,439 Speaker 9: as an excessive political correctness. 896 00:48:19,640 --> 00:48:22,279 Speaker 18: I don't know. I actually don't think that. 897 00:48:22,320 --> 00:48:25,320 Speaker 9: I think that the investment's been made, the logos exist. 898 00:48:25,880 --> 00:48:29,320 Speaker 9: I don't think that these franchises will change back unless 899 00:48:29,360 --> 00:48:33,200 Speaker 9: we continue to see the MAGA movement live beyond Trump, 900 00:48:33,640 --> 00:48:37,280 Speaker 9: maybe with advanced presidency or something similar. 901 00:48:39,600 --> 00:48:45,120 Speaker 4: I do recall a poll that was done showing ninety 902 00:48:45,239 --> 00:48:48,799 Speaker 4: ten Native Americans who were polled did not have a problem. 903 00:48:48,440 --> 00:48:49,880 Speaker 3: With the Redskins name. 904 00:48:50,320 --> 00:48:54,799 Speaker 4: It was essentially white folk who were outraged on their 905 00:48:54,840 --> 00:48:57,320 Speaker 4: behalf who led to that decision. 906 00:48:57,320 --> 00:48:58,239 Speaker 3: In Washington, d C. 907 00:48:58,640 --> 00:49:02,960 Speaker 4: Is what possibly the bluest of blue place blue cities 908 00:49:03,000 --> 00:49:06,040 Speaker 4: in America.
