WEBVTT - The Late Debate | 29 May 0:00:00.120 --> 0:00:07.360 Lately. Welcome to the late Bad, Well Good evening and 0:00:07.360 --> 0:00:08.119 thanks for joining us. 0:00:08.160 --> 0:00:11.200 I'm James Macpherson with Freyerlitch and filling in for Caleb 0:00:11.240 --> 0:00:15.160 Bond who's just hosted Paul Murray Live. Caroline Marcus coming 0:00:15.240 --> 0:00:19.400 up tonight. We all saw the French president's wife shove 0:00:19.520 --> 0:00:22.480 him in the face, but now a lip reading expert 0:00:22.520 --> 0:00:26.080 reveals what she said to him right after that incident. 0:00:26.200 --> 0:00:27.760 We'll get to that shortly. 0:00:28.040 --> 0:00:30.600 Plus, when we look at what's making news tomorrow, a 0:00:30.680 --> 0:00:34.199 radical imam apologizes to Jews and then in the next. 0:00:34.000 --> 0:00:36.680 Breath calls for all oppresses to be killed. 0:00:37.120 --> 0:00:41.159 And a man narrowly escapes death after accidentally taking his 0:00:41.200 --> 0:00:46.520 wife's euthanasia medication. All of that shortly, but first, working 0:00:46.600 --> 0:00:49.840 from home, at least part time is at least as 0:00:49.880 --> 0:00:53.440 productive as working in the office. That's according to a 0:00:53.440 --> 0:00:57.120 new report from the Productivity Commission that was released this week. 0:00:57.440 --> 0:01:00.440 The report found that people working from home take less 0:01:00.440 --> 0:01:04.840 sickies and are less distracted. They also report a higher 0:01:04.959 --> 0:01:08.759 level of job satisfaction, which then begs the question, well, 0:01:08.760 --> 0:01:12.479 what's happening to productivity in this country? Because it's going down. Well, 0:01:12.480 --> 0:01:15.360 the productivity Commission says it's nothing to do with people 0:01:15.400 --> 0:01:18.600 working in their pajamas from home. It's just the fact 0:01:18.640 --> 0:01:22.280 that the employers aren't providing enough new technology. They're not 0:01:22.480 --> 0:01:26.360 equipping staff with the means to have greater output. 0:01:26.920 --> 0:01:27.960 So here's the deal. 0:01:28.040 --> 0:01:32.039 Working from home is obviously contentious because the Coalition went 0:01:32.080 --> 0:01:35.560 to an election and lost promising to put public servants 0:01:35.640 --> 0:01:39.279 back into the office. So does this settle the matter? 0:01:39.640 --> 0:01:42.520 The Coalition lost an election on this issue. The Productivity 0:01:42.520 --> 0:01:46.760 Commission say working from home doesn't affect productivity? Is the 0:01:46.800 --> 0:01:50.720 debate finally over? Is working from home here to stay? 0:01:50.760 --> 0:01:53.160 Freyer Well, I think it definitely is here to stay 0:01:53.240 --> 0:01:56.720 in some form, and now that we've got hybrid work arrangements, 0:01:56.800 --> 0:01:59.680 I think they're too entrenched to really wind back. 0:02:00.080 --> 0:02:02.200 But I would say that I probably. 0:02:01.880 --> 0:02:05.200 Disagree with this Productivity Commission study on a few levels. 0:02:05.440 --> 0:02:07.760 I mean, one, with economics, you can kind of make 0:02:08.080 --> 0:02:10.000 modeling say whatever you want it to say if you 0:02:10.080 --> 0:02:12.960 use the right data. But also it is true business 0:02:13.000 --> 0:02:16.960 investment has been going down for the last twenty years, really, 0:02:17.080 --> 0:02:22.960 but we have seen a dramatic fall in productivity since COVID. 0:02:22.960 --> 0:02:27.280 It's down about five point seven percent from its peak. Now, 0:02:27.320 --> 0:02:31.240 when you hear stories of public servants working from home 0:02:31.600 --> 0:02:35.639 but actually going on caravan rides around Australia and then 0:02:35.680 --> 0:02:39.000 you see that huge collapse in productivity, it does make 0:02:39.040 --> 0:02:42.919 you wonder. Surely, I know some people are super productive 0:02:42.919 --> 0:02:45.600 at home, but on the whole there have to be 0:02:45.680 --> 0:02:48.080 some people that are just raughting the system. And that's 0:02:48.120 --> 0:02:49.440 my issue with working from home. 0:02:49.600 --> 0:02:51.760 You know what, you don't have to be working from 0:02:51.800 --> 0:02:53.720 home to rule the system. And I think we all 0:02:53.720 --> 0:03:00.400 know people in the workplace, you know, present company, people 0:03:00.440 --> 0:03:04.960 in the workplace who take the piss frankly and slacking 0:03:05.000 --> 0:03:08.520 off and really are dragging it down for everyone else. 0:03:08.560 --> 0:03:10.799 And I think those are the same people who, if 0:03:10.800 --> 0:03:12.760 you put them in a home environment, are going to 0:03:12.880 --> 0:03:17.639 rut the system even further. I mean, aside from this report, 0:03:17.760 --> 0:03:21.080 I know from my own personal experience is having young children, 0:03:21.360 --> 0:03:23.560 I've often had to do some of what I can 0:03:23.680 --> 0:03:25.960 do in this job, whether it be research or writing 0:03:26.040 --> 0:03:29.280 up pieces for the website or a lot of you 0:03:29.280 --> 0:03:32.400 know work that goes behind the scenes in a television job. 0:03:33.080 --> 0:03:35.240 I'm able to do that from home, and it's often 0:03:35.240 --> 0:03:37.160 means I'm up late but I can be there for 0:03:37.200 --> 0:03:39.360 the bedtime for the kids where possible, and it is 0:03:39.400 --> 0:03:43.480 a godsend. And I think for young families who do 0:03:43.560 --> 0:03:46.120 not have a choice except to be working at the 0:03:46.120 --> 0:03:48.520 time where they've raising their children, because who can afford 0:03:48.600 --> 0:03:53.440 not to these days, it is an absolute blessing. And 0:03:53.720 --> 0:03:56.600 my husband often does it and helps out, and he's 0:03:56.760 --> 0:04:01.280 absolutely not slacking off. So I hope long continue. I'd 0:04:01.320 --> 0:04:04.120 like to be public servants, not wrought the system. I 0:04:04.120 --> 0:04:06.760 think a lot of them probably are. And it's a 0:04:06.800 --> 0:04:10.440 shame that the coalition's policy on this went down like 0:04:10.480 --> 0:04:13.080 a lead balloon, because in many respects I think it 0:04:13.160 --> 0:04:15.080 was It was good because I think for a lot 0:04:15.080 --> 0:04:17.800 of people there's no excuse they can easily be in 0:04:17.839 --> 0:04:18.479 the workplace. 0:04:18.520 --> 0:04:21.320 I'm going to argue that you and your husband, wonderful people, 0:04:21.400 --> 0:04:24.320 are the exception. I think most people slack off when 0:04:24.320 --> 0:04:25.479 they're working with that's. 0:04:25.320 --> 0:04:28.360 Not what they actually found. 0:04:28.440 --> 0:04:29.000 And I know. 0:04:32.279 --> 0:04:35.400 Lies and statistics, right, and if you're slacking off at 0:04:35.400 --> 0:04:36.960 the office, I agree. There's a lot that slack off 0:04:37.000 --> 0:04:40.480 at the office, but it's easier to slack off at home, 0:04:40.720 --> 0:04:41.839 so I think. 0:04:41.880 --> 0:04:44.320 But in some respects, you want to prove yourself even 0:04:44.320 --> 0:04:46.840 more you want to continue to have that privilege. I 0:04:46.839 --> 0:04:48.560 mean not if you're in the public service and your 0:04:48.640 --> 0:04:51.400 sort of your salary is you know you've got it 0:04:51.480 --> 0:04:54.240 on some kind of tenure, you're like locked in. That's 0:04:54.279 --> 0:04:56.320 the problem with the public service. The problem is also 0:04:56.360 --> 0:04:59.400 that it's taxpayer funded, so we there needs to be 0:04:59.440 --> 0:05:02.200 accounted there. But if you're working for a company, if 0:05:02.200 --> 0:05:04.279 I'm working for a network like scut, if I'm not 0:05:04.320 --> 0:05:06.960 producing stories, I'm eventually not going to be able to 0:05:07.000 --> 0:05:08.719 hold my job. So I think people have to prove 0:05:08.760 --> 0:05:10.800 themselves even more when they're working from home. 0:05:10.839 --> 0:05:12.800 In some respect, I still think if you're a boss, 0:05:12.839 --> 0:05:15.240 then you have the right to say, if I'm paying you, 0:05:15.640 --> 0:05:18.800 then I want you here not there, and that's my right. 0:05:18.920 --> 0:05:19.880 I'm paying the wages. 0:05:19.920 --> 0:05:22.080 If you don't like it, go work somewhere else. So 0:05:22.120 --> 0:05:25.120 I don't think this issue is over by a long shot. 0:05:25.200 --> 0:05:27.159 And that's part of my issue with it. When people 0:05:27.200 --> 0:05:29.760 see it as a right more so than a privilege. 0:05:29.839 --> 0:05:32.320 You should have to earn the privilege, prove that you're 0:05:32.360 --> 0:05:34.920 capable of being productive at home, and then you get 0:05:34.920 --> 0:05:36.040 that opportunity. 0:05:36.120 --> 0:05:38.880 It's not just productivity, though this report found that it 0:05:38.960 --> 0:05:44.479 also increased job satisfaction and actually, yes, well you're not 0:05:44.560 --> 0:05:48.360 stuck and it's not just the pajamas, but I don't 0:05:48.360 --> 0:05:52.520 know what's with you and your pj's very very close 0:05:52.560 --> 0:05:55.159 to them. But it's also the commute who wants to 0:05:55.160 --> 0:05:58.000 be stuck in people that is a huge problem, being 0:05:58.040 --> 0:06:00.280 able to pick up your kids from school, if you're 0:06:00.480 --> 0:06:04.920 a working mum. It's all those factors. Job satisfaction rated 0:06:05.000 --> 0:06:08.720 really highly and I can understand why for all those reasons. 0:06:09.640 --> 0:06:14.040 And it's so difficult to retain good employees for bosses 0:06:14.080 --> 0:06:17.120 these days, especially when you're looking at millennials and younger, 0:06:17.560 --> 0:06:19.040 so why not continue? 0:06:19.080 --> 0:06:21.039 And I guess one of the challenges is that women 0:06:21.080 --> 0:06:23.640 are often asked to work two jobs in the home, 0:06:23.680 --> 0:06:25.479 that's one full time job and then out of the 0:06:25.520 --> 0:06:27.839 home at work. So working from home does allow young 0:06:27.880 --> 0:06:29.320 families to integrate them a little. 0:06:29.440 --> 0:06:32.440 Hopefully the men are also working yea, some kids. 0:06:32.520 --> 0:06:35.679 I am moving on now let's look at the childcare sector. 0:06:36.600 --> 0:06:39.200 I think it's fair to say that childcare in Australia, 0:06:39.560 --> 0:06:42.560 certainly the peak body has been well and truly captured 0:06:42.960 --> 0:06:46.840 by the woke left, and I think this story perfectly 0:06:47.120 --> 0:06:51.680 sums it up. The National Early Learning Regulator has issued 0:06:51.839 --> 0:06:57.000 new guidance to childcare workers saying they should ask for 0:06:57.320 --> 0:07:03.760 consent from babies and preschoolers while changing their nappies, taking 0:07:03.800 --> 0:07:08.200 them to the toilet, and even playing with them. Now, 0:07:08.279 --> 0:07:12.280 I don't know what kind of babies and toddlers these 0:07:12.320 --> 0:07:15.160 guys are dealing with, but the idea not really that 0:07:15.760 --> 0:07:20.040 their children that young even know what consent or even 0:07:20.080 --> 0:07:22.840 decision making really is. I'm pretty sure they just have 0:07:23.000 --> 0:07:27.560 natural impulses and then act. I mean, this just shows 0:07:27.920 --> 0:07:31.760 that even the childcare regulator has been captured by this 0:07:31.920 --> 0:07:34.920 left wing language of we need to create a culture 0:07:34.920 --> 0:07:35.600 of consent. 0:07:36.280 --> 0:07:38.200 What does that even mean? 0:07:38.400 --> 0:07:41.040 Glad to say, Caroline, I'm now a convert to work 0:07:41.080 --> 0:07:43.720 from home. Why would anyone want to put their kid 0:07:43.960 --> 0:07:46.240 in a childcare center when this is the sort of 0:07:46.240 --> 0:07:47.200 nonsense they go on. 0:07:47.480 --> 0:07:49.600 It hasn't just been in childcare centers and when two 0:07:49.640 --> 0:07:52.160 young kids. I've come across this. In the last few years, 0:07:52.160 --> 0:07:55.400 there's been this huge push and a huge movement in 0:07:55.480 --> 0:07:58.720 gentle parenting, which I'm largely I never thought i'd be 0:07:58.840 --> 0:08:01.640 like that, having been spat myself as a child would 0:08:01.640 --> 0:08:04.920 be the product of top parenting. But I now subscribe 0:08:04.920 --> 0:08:08.280 to this gentle parenting, but not the permissiveness. You still 0:08:08.320 --> 0:08:10.480 need to have firm boundaries, and kids need to have 0:08:10.520 --> 0:08:13.160 firm boundaries. They need to know that you're the adults. 0:08:13.520 --> 0:08:18.120 You're not their friend asking them for permission to parent 0:08:18.440 --> 0:08:21.160 and do your role. But the funny thing is, James, 0:08:21.200 --> 0:08:23.440 I'll often say to my three year olds or oh, 0:08:23.520 --> 0:08:25.760 can mummy do your hair? And she'll be like no, 0:08:26.160 --> 0:08:28.160 and I'll say, well, that was a rhetorical question. I'm 0:08:28.160 --> 0:08:28.680 doing your hair. 0:08:29.680 --> 0:08:31.880 That's my problem with this, right, because if you're trying 0:08:31.880 --> 0:08:35.080 to teach consents, so you should ask for the baby's 0:08:35.120 --> 0:08:38.760 consent before you change the nappy. So clearly baby has 0:08:38.800 --> 0:08:41.400 a pooey nappy, and so you say, I'm about to 0:08:41.480 --> 0:08:42.280 change your nappy. 0:08:42.360 --> 0:08:43.120 Is that okay? 0:08:43.200 --> 0:08:46.440 Now the baby can't speak, let alone give consent, but 0:08:46.480 --> 0:08:49.119 you're supposed to read I don't know the facial expression. 0:08:49.440 --> 0:08:51.640 So your hope to god the baby doesn't break wind 0:08:51.679 --> 0:08:53.680 at that moment. Otherwise you interpret that as a no. 0:08:54.320 --> 0:08:56.200 But that if the baby sort of signals no, I 0:08:56.200 --> 0:08:57.319 don't want my nappy. 0:08:57.080 --> 0:08:58.160 Change, do you leave. 0:08:58.840 --> 0:09:00.880 That would be negligent, you know exactly. 0:09:00.920 --> 0:09:02.679 But you know, actually, here's my point though, So you're 0:09:02.679 --> 0:09:05.800 going to change the nappy after the baby's indicated no. 0:09:06.240 --> 0:09:09.040 Well, now you're teaching them that no doesn't mean no. 0:09:09.160 --> 0:09:11.760 That is a really good point. However, I do see 0:09:11.840 --> 0:09:14.320 the idea behind this. I mean, you're not just teaching 0:09:14.320 --> 0:09:16.559 them about I don't think this is the right way 0:09:16.559 --> 0:09:18.079 to do it for you. Don't give me that look, 0:09:19.240 --> 0:09:21.760 but you know, I do understand that because we have 0:09:21.920 --> 0:09:24.880 had a real issue with child abuse in this country, 0:09:24.920 --> 0:09:27.920 and it happens often from trusted No, don't no, you're right, 0:09:28.040 --> 0:09:32.400 You're right, it happens often from trusted places, including in 0:09:32.679 --> 0:09:37.000 childcare centers, you know. Shockingly, I don't think it's all 0:09:37.120 --> 0:09:41.439 together a terrible thing to teach children that their body, 0:09:41.440 --> 0:09:43.920 they have agency of their bodies from a pretty young age. 0:09:43.920 --> 0:09:45.960 I've been trying to do that as well, in a 0:09:46.000 --> 0:09:49.679 way that isn't like woke and just you know, ideological 0:09:50.200 --> 0:09:54.440 theater as one person has called it, with. 0:09:53.600 --> 0:09:56.439 Don't to workers have to go to the toilets. But 0:09:56.480 --> 0:09:59.880 there's always got to be two workings things of. 0:09:59.840 --> 0:10:02.120 Cour of course, we obviously don't want that happening. But 0:10:02.160 --> 0:10:04.280 I think the problem here is it looks like the 0:10:04.400 --> 0:10:08.200 childcare regulator itself has gone woke. So if you look 0:10:08.240 --> 0:10:12.040 at the early Learning framework, that is essentially the curriculum 0:10:12.040 --> 0:10:16.640 they're supposed to be teaching in childcare centers, explicitly stated 0:10:16.679 --> 0:10:21.600 within that framework is that educators need to promote diversity, equity, 0:10:21.640 --> 0:10:25.839 and inclusion, and it essentially embeds critical race theory into 0:10:26.000 --> 0:10:28.800 daycres by saying they need to critically. 0:10:28.360 --> 0:10:30.640 Engage with world views and biases. 0:10:30.760 --> 0:10:33.240 I think you'll just look after the care. I mean, 0:10:33.280 --> 0:10:34.800 you're going to have a real shop when you have 0:10:34.920 --> 0:10:37.560 kids and they go to daycare, preschool prayer, because I 0:10:37.640 --> 0:10:40.000 tell you they do a version of Welcome to Country 0:10:40.880 --> 0:10:43.199 pretty much every day. And I'm not just talking about 0:10:43.200 --> 0:10:46.200 my kids, like I'm talking about prayers. It's pretty much standard. Now, 0:10:46.280 --> 0:10:47.000 just one more. 0:10:46.880 --> 0:10:47.440 Question on this. 0:10:47.840 --> 0:10:51.080 How do they police it? Like, how do they then police? 0:10:51.280 --> 0:10:53.960 You know, you change that baby's nappy without consent? 0:10:54.160 --> 0:10:59.040 Well, how are they going to police exactly? 0:10:59.160 --> 0:11:01.559 This works when the child is nonverbal. As soon as 0:11:01.559 --> 0:11:03.880 they can say no, you have to drop this straight away. 0:11:04.559 --> 0:11:05.680 Well let's go to Victoria. 0:11:05.720 --> 0:11:10.600 We've been talking all week about netball in Victoria after 0:11:10.760 --> 0:11:14.840 a Victorian netball league banned two transgendered players. 0:11:15.400 --> 0:11:16.880 Now the players were. 0:11:16.679 --> 0:11:20.640 Banned one of them after footage made the rounds on 0:11:20.679 --> 0:11:25.240 the Internet of a female player being thrown to the 0:11:25.280 --> 0:11:29.520 ground after bumping into the transgendered play. Now, I must 0:11:29.880 --> 0:11:32.520 say the transgendered play didn't throw her to the ground, 0:11:32.559 --> 0:11:36.079 but she obviously fell pretty hard after coming into contact 0:11:36.480 --> 0:11:40.320 with the transgendered play. Now, this story, unsurprisingly and that 0:11:40.480 --> 0:11:44.800 video has gone right around the world, and the transgendered 0:11:44.880 --> 0:11:47.600 player has become pretty upset. It's goppt a fair bit 0:11:47.640 --> 0:11:50.719 of flack for it, and has made this statement. This 0:11:50.760 --> 0:11:54.360 won't be a long novel, the transgendered player wrote on 0:11:54.400 --> 0:11:58.000 social media, because frankly, these bigots don't deserve my time 0:11:58.240 --> 0:12:02.440 or energy. Melton South Football Netball Club and your netball 0:12:02.480 --> 0:12:06.280 coordinator players, this is the team that wanted to boycott 0:12:06.360 --> 0:12:10.040 the transgendered players team. You're in total to your opinions, 0:12:10.280 --> 0:12:12.920 But let's clear some things up. Your head coach tried 0:12:12.960 --> 0:12:15.480 to recruit me to play for your club. Yes, your 0:12:15.520 --> 0:12:19.480 head coach tried to recruit me. Now, a couple of 0:12:19.559 --> 0:12:22.640 points on this. First of all, I can understand to 0:12:22.679 --> 0:12:27.480 an extent, the frustration of the transgender player, because there 0:12:27.520 --> 0:12:30.720 are all these weird rules for some sports you're allowed, 0:12:30.800 --> 0:12:34.280 some sports you're not. In one league, this transgendered player 0:12:34.440 --> 0:12:37.800 was banned, but then in another league, the transgendered player 0:12:37.960 --> 0:12:40.800 was permitted to play. So that would breed a level 0:12:40.840 --> 0:12:44.600 of frustration. And second of all, whether you agree with 0:12:44.679 --> 0:12:48.880 the transgendered player or not, a pile on online can 0:12:48.920 --> 0:12:51.760 be very hurtful, and so I could understand why that 0:12:51.800 --> 0:12:53.360 transgendered player would react. 0:12:53.440 --> 0:12:55.640 No one, no matter who you are, wants a pile 0:12:55.679 --> 0:12:56.840 on online. 0:12:57.400 --> 0:13:02.520 But if you're a biological man playing netball against women, 0:13:03.040 --> 0:13:05.920 should you really be crying fairl and saying, oh, I'm 0:13:06.040 --> 0:13:07.040 being bullied. 0:13:07.160 --> 0:13:10.080 That's sort of a bit rich, is it not. 0:13:10.840 --> 0:13:13.680 Look I agree with a lot of the first part 0:13:13.720 --> 0:13:16.520 of what you're saying, and having covered this issue extensively, 0:13:16.559 --> 0:13:19.400 including a Skyinese documentary call fair Game The Fight for 0:13:19.480 --> 0:13:22.960 Women's Sport available and full online, now I can say 0:13:23.000 --> 0:13:25.760 that I think the real issue is with the clubs 0:13:25.840 --> 0:13:29.040 and the policies, and as you said, the fact that 0:13:29.040 --> 0:13:33.560 they're so confused and conflicting that even within one kind 0:13:33.600 --> 0:13:37.680 of sport or code, you have different policies at different levels. 0:13:37.720 --> 0:13:41.360 The elite level has one policy. Amateur levels might allow 0:13:41.520 --> 0:13:44.920 transgender players, whereas elite levels don't. Whereas you think, how 0:13:45.000 --> 0:13:48.280 is it any you know, more fair or safe? In fact, 0:13:48.320 --> 0:13:50.959 it should be even less safe for women who are 0:13:51.000 --> 0:13:55.319 not elite athletes to have to compete against biological mals. 0:13:55.320 --> 0:13:59.200 So I feel for this transgender player, but at the 0:13:59.200 --> 0:14:00.040 same time. 0:14:00.200 --> 0:14:03.160 Heart, I mean, just as a normal human being, you 0:14:03.400 --> 0:14:04.440 know this isn't fit. 0:14:05.520 --> 0:14:07.920 I never said it wasn't I did a whole documentary. 0:14:08.480 --> 0:14:09.800 I mean a transgendered perpose. 0:14:09.840 --> 0:14:13.040 I don't know. I don't think so that's my child. 0:14:13.120 --> 0:14:14.080 They absolutely don't. 0:14:14.280 --> 0:14:15.959 Well that's pretty clear from the post. 0:14:16.040 --> 0:14:18.760 They feel like they're the ones that have been victimized, 0:14:18.760 --> 0:14:21.600 which if there's an Internet pylon, I totally understand. 0:14:21.960 --> 0:14:24.000 But I also think, even if there are. 0:14:24.040 --> 0:14:27.800 Conflicting rules in different sports codes, if you know you 0:14:27.880 --> 0:14:31.320 were a biological male, if the images that we just 0:14:31.360 --> 0:14:34.800 showed you so clearly depict you as having a huge 0:14:34.840 --> 0:14:39.480 physical advantage, and by the way, this player has played 0:14:39.560 --> 0:14:43.600 in a men's team before, would you not demonstrate the 0:14:43.680 --> 0:14:50.320 good sportsmanship and just go I might identify woman, I 0:14:50.400 --> 0:14:53.280 might identify as a female, but for the purposes of 0:14:53.280 --> 0:14:56.320 playing sport, it is only fair that I am in 0:14:56.440 --> 0:14:57.320 the male category. 0:14:57.400 --> 0:14:59.760 That is the fair part. But one of the funny. 0:14:59.440 --> 0:15:03.440 Things and about this was in the post, the transgender 0:15:03.520 --> 0:15:07.000 athlete tried to say that essentially this was all just 0:15:07.800 --> 0:15:10.560 kind of payback from the opposing team because she wouldn't 0:15:10.640 --> 0:15:13.440 join their team. And then she says that they're now 0:15:13.520 --> 0:15:16.840 hypocritical for calling her out. But I'm like, I totally 0:15:16.920 --> 0:15:19.880 get the coach on the other team wanting to recruit 0:15:20.080 --> 0:15:22.520 them to their team, because if I knew there was 0:15:22.560 --> 0:15:24.920 a biological mail on the other side, I want them 0:15:24.920 --> 0:15:25.440 on my team. 0:15:25.480 --> 0:15:27.240 Well, it goes back to the rules, right, If you're 0:15:27.240 --> 0:15:28.360 allowed to recruit. 0:15:28.080 --> 0:15:30.840 Then why wouldn't you exactly exactly I mean, speaking of 0:15:30.880 --> 0:15:35.320 transgender issues, there's this huge another uproar in the States. 0:15:35.560 --> 0:15:40.280 You might remember Dylan Mulbainy. Now I don't know what 0:15:40.320 --> 0:15:44.720 pronounces to use anymore, guys. He She and the transgender 0:15:46.080 --> 0:15:51.200 model activist who started this bud Light commercial a few 0:15:51.240 --> 0:15:54.280 years back that led to a huge backlash against the 0:15:54.280 --> 0:15:58.560 beer company. It's sales dropped thirty billions of dollars. Well, 0:15:58.600 --> 0:16:03.400 now Dylan has again this time in a fragrance ad 0:16:03.520 --> 0:16:07.320 for Jean Paul Gautier. You wouldn't believe this. The product, 0:16:07.360 --> 0:16:14.160 the perfume is called feminity feminity, not femininity feminity, and 0:16:14.320 --> 0:16:18.600 it is all about how it is most the peak, 0:16:18.720 --> 0:16:24.840 peak feminine, peak feminine product to make women feel as 0:16:24.840 --> 0:16:26.000 feminine as possible. 0:16:26.640 --> 0:16:28.000 It is so frustrating. 0:16:28.040 --> 0:16:30.800 And what I find even more annoying about this is 0:16:30.840 --> 0:16:35.360 that the model of femininity that Dylan Mulvainy displays is 0:16:35.400 --> 0:16:41.200 actually extremely sexist. So during his TikTok transition, he've logged 0:16:41.200 --> 0:16:44.680 it every day gave an update about his transition, and 0:16:44.920 --> 0:16:47.400 this is one example of the kinds of things he 0:16:47.440 --> 0:16:49.840 would post about what it's like to be a woman. 0:16:52.880 --> 0:16:56.080 Day four of being a girl, and I am exhausted. 0:16:56.760 --> 0:17:01.560 The hair, the makeup, the clothes, the heals. It's a 0:17:01.600 --> 0:17:04.160 lot to keep up with and I need to learn 0:17:04.240 --> 0:17:07.359 early on that those things do not make me a girl. 0:17:07.480 --> 0:17:09.920 It's what's in here that matters. And I actually didn't 0:17:09.920 --> 0:17:12.600 shave my face today because I was like, Gil, even 0:17:12.680 --> 0:17:15.600 with your facial hair, you're a girl. And even though 0:17:15.600 --> 0:17:18.800 I'm having it removed, women can have facial hair. 0:17:22.200 --> 0:17:26.200 Okay. Well, I mean that's entirely confusing, is okay, it's 0:17:26.200 --> 0:17:29.200 a being a girl apparently, Frayer, it's all about having 0:17:29.240 --> 0:17:32.200 hair and makeup. But apparently it's not being a girl. 0:17:32.320 --> 0:17:34.520 That's not being a girl, because having a beard can 0:17:34.720 --> 0:17:36.760 you can still be a girl. But it's on the 0:17:36.800 --> 0:17:39.240 inside what counts. But not on the inside down there, 0:17:39.280 --> 0:17:41.119 and not the hormones or the chromosomes. 0:17:41.160 --> 0:17:43.280 Well, I wish he would actually look on the inside 0:17:43.320 --> 0:17:46.040 and tell us, Dylan, what is actually there, because it's 0:17:46.080 --> 0:17:48.479 a whole bunch of male chromosomes. 0:17:48.280 --> 0:17:51.040 Here's my question that this perfume. Who is it being 0:17:51.040 --> 0:17:53.959 marketed to? Is this marketed to women or is it 0:17:54.000 --> 0:17:57.360 marketed to men with gender dysphoria? But I do know this, 0:17:57.680 --> 0:18:00.840 I know what that perfume smells like. Smells like bud light. 0:18:01.440 --> 0:18:02.280 That's what it smells like. 0:18:02.359 --> 0:18:06.240 No one who's it smells like failure go broke. And 0:18:06.320 --> 0:18:09.679 companies never seem to learn it. But they will. Although 0:18:09.720 --> 0:18:12.520 it is a different product. It's not aimed at blokey blokes. 0:18:12.600 --> 0:18:14.639 It has aimed at a fresh and crowd. I guess 0:18:14.640 --> 0:18:17.399 who might be more open to the sort of cost. 0:18:17.800 --> 0:18:20.480 Speaking of people not learning lessons. Let's go to the 0:18:20.640 --> 0:18:25.360 US where universities you would have thought learned something from 0:18:25.440 --> 0:18:29.320 all the pro Palestinian anti Semitic rallies that have taken 0:18:29.359 --> 0:18:32.800 place on their campuses and gotten their houses in order, 0:18:33.119 --> 0:18:35.560 but they haven't done that. Columbia has given lip service 0:18:35.680 --> 0:18:39.919 to what went on. Harvard has steadfastly refused to do 0:18:39.960 --> 0:18:43.920 anything to protect their Jewish students, and so US President 0:18:43.960 --> 0:18:47.800 Donald Trump has taken action. He's withheld about three billion 0:18:47.880 --> 0:18:50.760 dollars worth of funding from Harvard. He said that Harvard 0:18:50.760 --> 0:18:53.680 aren't allowed to bring students from overseas at the moment 0:18:53.760 --> 0:18:58.399 until further notice. But now the US administration has extended 0:18:58.440 --> 0:19:03.280 that action regarding foreign students, with Marco Rubio tweeting the 0:19:03.440 --> 0:19:07.720 US will begin revoking visas of Chinese students, including those 0:19:07.720 --> 0:19:11.360 with connections to the Chinese Communist Party or studying in 0:19:11.440 --> 0:19:16.399 critical fields. That comes a day after US embassies around 0:19:16.400 --> 0:19:19.720 the world were advised to hit pause on approving visas 0:19:19.760 --> 0:19:22.679 for foreign students to travel to the US while the 0:19:22.680 --> 0:19:27.160 Trump administration decided how they would expand vetting of prospective 0:19:27.240 --> 0:19:31.560 students social media accounts. This is a massive step when 0:19:31.600 --> 0:19:34.960 you consider foreign students a five point nine percent. I 0:19:35.000 --> 0:19:39.280 think it is of the nineteen million tertiary students in 0:19:39.280 --> 0:19:43.320 the United States. Harvard, it's worth a lot of money 0:19:43.359 --> 0:19:47.240 to these universities. And the Trump administration is now saying 0:19:47.359 --> 0:19:49.720 we are hitting pause on all foreign students. As you 0:19:49.720 --> 0:19:52.520 can imagine, the unis are up in arms, and we'll 0:19:52.520 --> 0:19:55.280 get into this. But my first point would be it 0:19:55.359 --> 0:19:59.359 didn't have to happen. If the universities had taken responsibility 0:19:59.400 --> 0:20:04.640 for making sure they had students not activists, students not radicals, 0:20:04.840 --> 0:20:08.160 that Trump administration would not have had to step in exactly. 0:20:08.240 --> 0:20:10.920 And Trump made it very clear that unless they took 0:20:11.040 --> 0:20:15.240 concrete action to address the anti semitism and hand over 0:20:15.320 --> 0:20:19.760 the details of all the international students that Harvard was enrolling, 0:20:20.000 --> 0:20:21.880 he was going to cut their funding. This has been 0:20:21.920 --> 0:20:25.199 clear for months. He also made these same demands of 0:20:25.280 --> 0:20:29.560 a bunch of other universities, all have either complied or 0:20:29.640 --> 0:20:33.440 are currently negotiating with the Trump administration. What Harvard has 0:20:33.480 --> 0:20:37.440 done is sue Trump, and obviously he does not well, 0:20:37.480 --> 0:20:40.520 he's not afraid of illegal battle, that's for sure, and 0:20:40.600 --> 0:20:43.479 so he's just gone bring it on. And it looks like, 0:20:43.640 --> 0:20:47.200 I mean, there are some interesting legal questions and constitutional 0:20:47.280 --> 0:20:50.720 questions around the First Amendment? Is this presidential overstep? Does 0:20:50.720 --> 0:20:52.840 he have the authority to do this? But I think 0:20:52.960 --> 0:20:56.359 regardless of the exact legalities of all of this, we 0:20:56.440 --> 0:20:59.359 can all appreciate what Trump is trying to do. And 0:20:59.440 --> 0:21:02.240 I think the way he's doing it and just saying 0:21:02.320 --> 0:21:07.080 hang on a second, American universities were founded to build 0:21:07.320 --> 0:21:10.960 this nation. The only thing they are building now is 0:21:11.000 --> 0:21:15.560 a generation of student activists who fundamentally hate the country. 0:21:15.840 --> 0:21:18.240 The facts he's cracking down on that, I say, good 0:21:18.280 --> 0:21:18.800 on him. 0:21:19.640 --> 0:21:22.560
