1
00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:03,160
Speaker 1: And Amanda gem.

2
00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:06,560
Speaker 2: Nation Sydney Sweeney Jonesy's imaginary girlfriend.

3
00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:07,960
Speaker 3: I'm glad you said imaginary.

4
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:11,039
Speaker 2: She I just I feel if there was another time,

5
00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:12,920
Speaker 2: perhaps you know.

6
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:13,319
Speaker 1: I don't know.

7
00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:14,880
Speaker 3: I feel like I got a connection with her. I don't

8
00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:17,040
Speaker 3: know what to do connection with her. Well, you've never

9
00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:18,640
Speaker 3: met her, you haven't seen a films.

10
00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:20,640
Speaker 2: You might be the only person left in the world

11
00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:23,320
Speaker 2: who's a fan of her. After this controversy, she is

12
00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:26,239
Speaker 2: at the center of a massive social media storm at

13
00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:29,560
Speaker 2: the moment following this new ad campaign. She's done with

14
00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:34,600
Speaker 2: American Eagles, so that's a US denim manufacturer. So Sidney Sweeney.

15
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:37,520
Speaker 2: In case you don't know her, she's in Euphoria White Lotus.

16
00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:39,760
Speaker 2: She did that movie Anyone but You that was filmed

17
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:43,239
Speaker 2: in Sydney. She has been accused and this brand has

18
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:48,080
Speaker 2: been accused of kind of making linking this ad campaign

19
00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:53,559
Speaker 2: to ideals of white supremacy, specifically eugenics, by making a

20
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:57,280
Speaker 2: punt about jenes with j and jeans with a G

21
00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:00,400
Speaker 2: genetic genes. I think we've got a grab of the

22
00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:01,280
Speaker 2: ad here for you.

23
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:07,320
Speaker 1: My Bardy's composition is determined by my genes. Hey as

24
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:11,880
Speaker 1: a peer Sydney Sweeney has great gene Well that's just funny.

25
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:14,039
Speaker 3: Yes, well, what is the controversy?

26
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:17,480
Speaker 4: And I'm always ready to slag off anyone who's that attractive.

27
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:20,200
Speaker 2: Well, yes, me too. But to give you an idea

28
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:22,200
Speaker 2: of what people are writing. And when I say this

29
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:25,160
Speaker 2: is all over, TikTok like it. It's mass twenty third

30
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:27,840
Speaker 2: of July when this ad dropped, it has not gone away.

31
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:31,440
Speaker 2: So one person wrote on TikTok, the American Eagle ad

32
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 2: wasn't just a commercial. It's a love letter to white

33
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:38,560
Speaker 2: nationalism and eugenic fantasies. And Sydney Sweeney knew it. Another

34
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:43,120
Speaker 2: person wrote, when those traits are consistently uplifted as genetic excellence,

35
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:43,800
Speaker 2: we know.

36
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:44,760
Speaker 3: Where this leads.

37
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 2: This just echoes pseudoscientific language, a racial superperiority.

38
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 4: See but you could have had a beautiful black model

39
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 4: act just saying I've got great cheese.

40
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure Nami Campbell all those years ago there

41
00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 2: was it's all about the genes.

42
00:01:57,400 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 3: I'm pretty sure she said that.

43
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:01,440
Speaker 2: But I guess the argument here is that they didn't

44
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 2: hire a beautiful black woman to do this. They hired

45
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 2: a blue eyed blonlonde haired woman. So anyway, that's the

46
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 2: beginning of the controversy. It then intensified because there was silence.

47
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 2: We didn't hear from the brand.

48
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:17,040
Speaker 3: Although their numbers went up exactly.

49
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 2: We didn't hear from American Eagle for ages. Finally, after

50
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:23,639
Speaker 2: more than a week, it responded and defended the ad, saying,

51
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 2: Sidney Sweeney has great jeans. Isn't always was about the

52
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 2: jeans with Jay, her jeans, her story. So they're maintaining

53
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 2: this kind of it's upon it's purely innocent, its wordplay.

54
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 2: Sidney Sweeney, though, still has said nothing. So she has

55
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:41,120
Speaker 2: not made a peep or a reference about this. She

56
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:42,960
Speaker 2: has appeared at events, she was on the Red Car

57
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 2: but a few weeks ago at a movie premiere, but

58
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 2: she's said completely nothing. It's not the first time, though,

59
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 2: that she's been at the center of a kind of

60
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:55,640
Speaker 2: conservative esque controversy. A few years ago, at her mum's

61
00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 2: birthday party, a bunch of the guests were seen wearing

62
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:02,960
Speaker 2: Maga hats, and at the time there was this big fueror.

63
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:06,600
Speaker 2: But Sidney Sweeney said, stop making assumptions and turning an

64
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 2: innocent celebration into an absurd political statement. Maybe she's doing

65
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:14,919
Speaker 2: an afternoon show that was in twenty twenty two. Fast

66
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 2: forward to twenty twenty four, a US election year, Stay

67
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 2: with Me, Sidney Sweeney formalizes her Republican status by registering

68
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:26,360
Speaker 2: as a Republican voter in the state of Florida.

69
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 3: So why is that such a big deal.

70
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 2: It's a big deal because or the Internet says it's

71
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 2: a big deal because she down a big deal. She

72
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 2: downplayed the kind of maga connections in her family, and

73
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 2: I think at the time people were willing to write

74
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 2: that off and say, well, well, if her family are Republicans,

75
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 2: doesn't mean she's a Republican. The twenty twenty five context,

76
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 2: or twenty twenty four when she registered, context of being

77
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:50,840
Speaker 2: a Republican is of course, not the same context as

78
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 2: being a Republican twenty years ago. It's Trump's America. It's

79
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 2: Trump's party now, so there's those Trumpian kind of links

80
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:00,200
Speaker 2: to if you subscribe to this party, that must mean

81
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 2: X y Z about you.

82
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:04,839
Speaker 3: She's fair enough, Actually it's not as you do. Yeah,

83
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 3: but having said that, Republicans are.

84
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 4: All bad, you know, But what Emma's saying is these days,

85
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 4: if you're Marga.

86
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:16,800
Speaker 1: That is, there was another subsect the republic pushed.

87
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 3: To the right, and Trump's now weighed in, hasn't he

88
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 3: Trump is waiting?

89
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 2: Of course, he loves it. He's very impressed by the ad.

90
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:25,680
Speaker 2: I think we've got a grab of him speaking here.

91
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:30,240
Speaker 1: She's a registered Republican. Oh now, I love her ad?

92
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 1: Is that right? As Sidney Sweeney, you'd be surprised at

93
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 1: how many people are Republicans. That's what I wouldn't have known.

94
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:40,680
Speaker 1: But I'm glad you told me that if Sydney Sweeney

95
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:44,839
Speaker 1: is a registered Republican, I think her ad is fantastic.

96
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:47,160
Speaker 4: He said he thinks it's the hottest at He used

97
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:51,159
Speaker 4: the word HoTT type. And he also said that that

98
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 4: he thinks he thinks she's really hot and that this

99
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:56,359
Speaker 4: is the end of workness. That's another part of the events.

100
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:59,159
Speaker 2: Also, Wadian said something similar. But as you mentioned, Amanda,

101
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 2: American Eagle shares jumps twenty four percent after Trump's comments,

102
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:06,280
Speaker 2: their best day in twenty five years, adding about two

103
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 2: hundred million dollars to the company's value. So from a

104
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:11,320
Speaker 2: business perspective, it's great news.

105
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:13,320
Speaker 3: What size jeans do you think they're buying?

106
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 2: For Sidney Sweeney. It's not going to be good for

107
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:18,799
Speaker 2: her career. I don't think.

108
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 4: Because I read a Marina Hyde. She's an English journalist.

109
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:24,480
Speaker 4: She's very acerbic. She wrote this in The Guardian, saying

110
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 4: it's because she's hot and she's attractive. Everyone's up in arms.

111
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 4: She's got a sense of humor, let it go. So

112
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:31,280
Speaker 4: I don't know where to put myself with.

113
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 2: Silence is deafening though, whether she's a Republican or not,

114
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 2: whatever she says, it's going on and on and on,

115
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 2: and her not saying anything. I think the longest she

116
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:43,920
Speaker 2: says nothing, the worse the conspiracy spirals out and she just.

117
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 3: All drink her bath water and be done with it.

118
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:49,040
Speaker 2: She has I mean, at the end of the day,

119
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:51,320
Speaker 2: she's objectively very hot, so I think she'll be okay.

120
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:55,840
Speaker 3: She's got a very hot ad. Thanks mister Trump, Thank you.

121
00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:57,040
Speaker 1: Am you.

122
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:00,600
Speaker 3: Check her out. Ilios
