1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:04,400
Speaker 1: Dan Mitchinson US correspondence with Oslo den Hi there either.

2
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:07,360
Speaker 1: So Trump's legal kie against the BBC's next year.

3
00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:11,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, they were trying to sort of delay it, but

4
00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:13,960
Speaker 2: judge today said nope, this is going to go ahead.

5
00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:17,920
Speaker 2: It'll be heading to trial in twenty twenty seven. This

6
00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:21,360
Speaker 2: is a ten billion dollar lawsuit and it was filed

7
00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:24,120
Speaker 2: last Oh gosh, I guess back in December. The way

8
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:26,599
Speaker 2: the BBC edited this speech together that he gave in

9
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:31,040
Speaker 2: twenty twenty one, the amount that they're seeking is just

10
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:36,559
Speaker 2: sort of amazing. It's five billion dollars in damages and

11
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:40,440
Speaker 2: for defamation and then five billion dollars for unfair trade practices.

12
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:42,840
Speaker 1: What's the unfair tried practices?

13
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:46,120
Speaker 2: Well, the whole thing is just the fact that they

14
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:50,919
Speaker 2: delivered almost these these quotes together that they edited. There

15
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:53,360
Speaker 2: were like an hour apart in what appeared one quote

16
00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:56,320
Speaker 2: and you know, Trump was urging supporters to march with

17
00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:58,880
Speaker 2: him in quote fine like hell, and they cut it together.

18
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:00,800
Speaker 2: But what they didn't put in is that he wanted

19
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:06,200
Speaker 2: supporters to demonstrate peacefully. Right now, So who knows how

20
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:08,480
Speaker 2: much money, if at all, we'll get or if the

21
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:09,840
Speaker 2: BBC will end up settling.

22
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 1: Now, okay, so this is what I thought was particularly

23
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:17,480
Speaker 1: interesting was the BBC argued against exchanging evidence with Trump's team.

24
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:21,319
Speaker 1: Is that basically you know that I'm I'm imagining that's

25
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:23,400
Speaker 1: what we would call the process of discovery in the

26
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 1: New Zealand judicial system, where you basically have to hand

27
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:28,120
Speaker 1: over all of these documents and they go through and

28
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:29,200
Speaker 1: try to build a case with it.

29
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:33,120
Speaker 2: Is that basically exactly. And just you know, like most

30
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 2: media outlets, they don't want to give away their their

31
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:38,560
Speaker 2: you know, raw tape, or they don't want to give

32
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:40,720
Speaker 2: anything to the prosecution that these.

33
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:44,520
Speaker 1: Email stat their their emails, because can you imagine how

34
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 1: many of those staff at the BBC have written disparaging

35
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:50,720
Speaker 1: emails in jest about Donald Trump, never thinking it would

36
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:51,560
Speaker 1: ever be made public.

37
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 2: Oh no, oh yeah, absolutely. And and you know, this

38
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 2: is just the latest sort of nail that's been heading

39
00:01:57,640 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 2: to the coffin of the BBC right now, as you know,

40
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 2: and you've reported on too. They've had numerous lawsuits right

41
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 2: now and just sort of bad press one thing after

42
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 2: the other, which is why you know they're wondering after

43
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 2: seeing what happened over here when Trump went after CBS

44
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 2: and some of the other networks, if they might settle

45
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:12,840
Speaker 2: before they go to trial.

46
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:16,240
Speaker 1: Now, Okay, run me through what Trump has done here

47
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 1: in terms of fighting climate change.

48
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:22,240
Speaker 2: Okay, he's repealing this, this scientific finding and it's been

49
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:25,640
Speaker 2: the basis for how we regulate greenhouse gas emissions over

50
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:27,720
Speaker 2: here to fight climate change. And he says this whole

51
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 2: thing has been just a hoax from day one one

52
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 2: of the I think he called it one of the

53
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,640
Speaker 2: greatest scams in history. So what this is going to

54
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:38,240
Speaker 2: do now? By repealing this all the greenhouse gas emission

55
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:41,239
Speaker 2: standards for cars and trucks, it could unleash a number

56
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:44,240
Speaker 2: of other regulations for say, power plants and oil and

57
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 2: gas facilities, which would be huge in states like here

58
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:49,120
Speaker 2: in California or in Texas. But you know, there's going

59
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 2: to be legal challenges to all of these things right now.

60
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 2: And he's just saying that, you know, on the contrary,

61
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:57,960
Speaker 2: despite what the left is saying, you know, over the

62
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 2: generation's fossil fuels of saved millions of lives and you know,

63
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:04,080
Speaker 2: put billions of people out of poverty all over the world,

64
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:05,680
Speaker 2: not just here in the US.

65
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:08,640
Speaker 1: DAN So they found some gloves have they in the

66
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:11,440
Speaker 1: Gut three case, Like, have they said how many gloves?

67
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 1: Whose gloves are they? The gloves that belong to the

68
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:14,440
Speaker 1: chep who was knocking on the door?

69
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 2: Well, I think that's what they're trying to piece together

70
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:19,240
Speaker 2: right now. In fact, just a short time ago, they

71
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 2: said that they're going to increase the reward to one

72
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:25,120
Speaker 2: hundred thousand dollars, leading to which again a lot of

73
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 2: people have said, you know, that just doesn't seem like

74
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:28,800
Speaker 2: a lot of money for the kind of money that

75
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:31,919
Speaker 2: a host of the Today Show makes. And they've also

76
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 2: started releasing a description of a suspect that was seen

77
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 2: at that doorbell footage, which is very generic. You know,

78
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 2: they're seeing something like, you know, five nine five ten

79
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 2: tall mail with an average build, which could be any

80
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 2: number of millions of men here in the country. The

81
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 2: neighbors are having to turn over personal security footage right now.

82
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 2: They've had about twenty they being the investigators, have had

83
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 2: you know, twenty twenty two thousand tips related to this

84
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 2: case right now. And there was another ransom note earlier

85
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 2: today that was handed over to TMZ, and the writer

86
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 2: of that note said that they're not being taken seriously

87
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 2: so whether or not that's just sort of a crank

88
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 2: note or if that's actually something that's legit from the kidnapper,

89
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:11,080
Speaker 2: we don't yet know.

90
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:13,240
