• 0:02
  Speaker 1: On scoring in Zastrodya.
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: This is the reader Panahe Show.
• 0:08
  Speaker 3: Good evening and welcome to the reader Panahee Show. I'm
• 0:11
  Speaker 3: Caroline Derusso.
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: Coming up on the show tonight.
• 0:13
  Speaker 3: And the new Coalition ministry has finally been announced and
• 0:16
  Speaker 3: yes it has raised some eyebrows.
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: We'll discuss that and much more with Angela.
• 0:21
  Speaker 3: Mollard, including Independent Senator Fadam of Payman's bombshell allegations against
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: colleague now Adam B.
• 0:28
  Speaker 4: Coleman.
• 0:29
  Speaker 3: He joins us to discuss the latest from the US,
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: including a shocking undercover video from a Democrat insider and
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: of course Left He's losing It, featuring Democrat Jasmine Crockett's
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: dire warning about Trump.
• 0:41
  Speaker 5: It is time for Republicans to starry calling him out
• 0:44
  Speaker 5: and started questioning his mental acuity and whether or not
• 0:48
  Speaker 5: he is equipped to serve mentally.
• 0:50
  Speaker 4: But joining me now is newscot colonist Angela Mollard.
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: Angela, after kicking the decision on the Northwest Shelf down
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: the road until after the election, Labor has given it
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: the green light.
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: Thankfully.
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: And obviously I'm from Western Australia, so I feel like
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: I've got a bit of.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: Skin in the game in this decision.
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: Do you think though, you know, was it a bit
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: dangerous then politicizing that decision in that way.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: We've definitely seen them walk.
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: Back their opposition to gas in recent months, we have,
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: and I think there's a newfound pragmatism that they needed.
• 1:21
  Speaker 6: You know, they've won the election, but they have to
• 1:24
  Speaker 6: they have to make the country work now, and this
• 1:26
  Speaker 6: is central to making the country work. This, of course
• 1:28
  Speaker 6: took six and a half years of green tape. I
• 1:30
  Speaker 6: think it's a bit of a shame that it didn't
• 1:32
  Speaker 6: get through on pleverusx watch because of course she had,
• 1:35
  Speaker 6: you know, walls put up.
• 1:37
  Speaker 7: At every turn when she was Environment minister. Of course
• 1:39
  Speaker 7: has come through Murray what.
• 1:41
  Speaker 6: But it shows that the labor is prepared to look
• 1:44
  Speaker 6: at the fact that if we are going to have
• 1:46
  Speaker 6: productivity and we are going to energize this country, you know,
• 1:49
  Speaker 6: both for industry and for individuals, that we need to
• 1:52
  Speaker 6: look at diverse sources, not just fossil fuels. The only
• 1:56
  Speaker 6: interesting thing I think though, is that what are the
• 1:57
  Speaker 6: Greens going to think about in the future, Because of
• 2:00
  Speaker 6: course they are in the Senate, they can block the
• 2:01
  Speaker 6: sistance like this in the future. So it's a good
• 2:04
  Speaker 6: it's a you know, it's front footed and it's smart
• 2:07
  Speaker 6: for Labor.
• 2:08
  Speaker 7: At this stage.
• 2:08
  Speaker 6: But I'll be interested to see how it flows through
• 2:11
  Speaker 6: on other projects.
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: Do you think it could have potentially been different if
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: Labor didn't have the majority that.
• 2:16
  Speaker 7: They have, look hugely different.
• 2:18
  Speaker 6: You possibly wouldn't have got that or you would have
• 2:20
  Speaker 6: got blowback on it, of course, but you know, they
• 2:23
  Speaker 6: have such a strong remit now and it'd be really
• 2:26
  Speaker 6: interesting to see what they do. There's so many areas
• 2:29
  Speaker 6: now they can push through because they have that majority.
• 2:31
  Speaker 6: It's just really looking at what they choose and where
• 2:34
  Speaker 6: they will see the greatest benefit both budge for the
• 2:38
  Speaker 6: budget and for the populace.
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: Now, Victoria doesn't seem to have got the memo on
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: gas and the Santa CEO Kevin Gallagher, he's come out
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: and basically compared Victoria to North Korea.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: So what's this all about?
• 2:50
  Speaker 7: Yeah, that's right.
• 2:50
  Speaker 6: So he's at a conference since Brisbane, an oil and
• 2:53
  Speaker 6: gas conference, and he has basically said that they are
• 2:55
  Speaker 6: so back with they're so communist in their approach to
• 2:58
  Speaker 6: things that they are not green lighting projects that help
• 3:01
  Speaker 6: industry in that.
• 3:02
  Speaker 7: State, and I think he's right.
• 3:04
  Speaker 6: There is a real danger that Victoria is going to
• 3:06
  Speaker 6: become forever more a loser state. I mean, you have
• 3:09
  Speaker 6: to balance your socialist policies with your capitalist ones. Any
• 3:13
  Speaker 6: government does, whatever government, you know, whatever party they represent,
• 3:17
  Speaker 6: and you have to drive growth.
• 3:18
  Speaker 7: You have to drive productivity.
• 3:20
  Speaker 6: We have a massive productivity issue in this country nationally,
• 3:24
  Speaker 6: and if a state is going to fall by the wayside.
• 3:26
  Speaker 7: I also think it's really important.
• 3:28
  Speaker 6: Just as it's important to have a strong opposition in
• 3:31
  Speaker 6: government at a federal level, you also need strong parity
• 3:35
  Speaker 6: within the state and territory governments so that they're looking
• 3:38
  Speaker 6: at each other, that they're competing with each other, whether
• 3:40
  Speaker 6: that's on education as a safe productivity, whether it's on
• 3:45
  Speaker 6: environmental policies. By keeping an eye angel on each other
• 3:48
  Speaker 6: and all staying strong, and there'll be areas where some
• 3:50
  Speaker 6: have better resources than others.
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: Competitive federalism doesn't exactly.
• 3:54
  Speaker 6: If you've got to have that system, and a lot
• 3:56
  Speaker 6: of us think it's a very you know, a bloated system,
• 4:00
  Speaker 6: then it's got to be sharp, it's got to be
• 4:02
  Speaker 6: rigorous and effective. And he's quite right and drawing attention
• 4:05
  Speaker 6: to it and what's problematic about this by him declaring
• 4:08
  Speaker 6: it is that other businesses that might consider setting up
• 4:11
  Speaker 6: in Victoria will not.
• 4:12
  Speaker 7: Do that now.
• 4:13
  Speaker 6: So the effect on others looking at that, you know,
• 4:17
  Speaker 6: we've already seen this massive move for a lot of
• 4:20
  Speaker 6: businesses to Queensland, New South Wales other parts of the country.
• 4:24
  Speaker 7: I mean, Victoria needs to watch itself.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: It really does.
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: And I think this here is a real failure of
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: state policy because if you are not going to develop
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: your resources and have the benefit of your resources, you
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: can't just put your hand out for more GST because
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: you're failing to do the things that you should be
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: doing in the first place.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: Onto the coalition and.
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: They announcing you ministry or shadow ministry yesterday, what was
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: most notable for you in.
• 4:46
  Speaker 7: All of that.
• 4:47
  Speaker 6: Look, I know there's been a lot of discussion around
• 4:49
  Speaker 6: the demotion of women and the part of women and
• 4:52
  Speaker 6: the party. I'm much more interested, actually less in the
• 4:55
  Speaker 6: numbers than the portfolios, and the two portfolios that stand
• 4:58
  Speaker 6: up to me. Where I think that Susan those made
• 5:00
  Speaker 6: a mistake is obviously just into an ampership of price.
• 5:03
  Speaker 6: She so owns that Indigenous conversation. She was brilliant after
• 5:07
  Speaker 6: the Voice. Most Australians really care about how money is
• 5:12
  Speaker 6: being spent on the Indigenous community and whether it's effective. Now,
• 5:16
  Speaker 6: she just to drove through that idea that we should
• 5:20
  Speaker 6: have an audit on where all that money is being spent.
• 5:23
  Speaker 7: It's a brilliant idea.
• 5:24
  Speaker 6: We can look at what's effective, we can look at
• 5:26
  Speaker 6: what's working. She was well placed. It was also been
• 5:29
  Speaker 6: really smart to have her alongside you. She's somebody that
• 5:33
  Speaker 6: the population likes. She's great on media and you know
• 5:36
  Speaker 6: a lot of the Liberal and National Party aren't great
• 5:38
  Speaker 6: at that. So that's one thing where she made a mistake.
• 5:41
  Speaker 6: I also think she made the same mistake with Sarah Henderson.
• 5:45
  Speaker 6: There is a massive opportunity for the Coalition to make
• 5:49
  Speaker 6: headways on education. It was completely undiscussed in the election.
• 5:54
  Speaker 6: Henderson really complained about the fact that it was under
• 5:57
  Speaker 6: the remit.
• 5:57
  Speaker 7: You know, no one was talking about it.
• 5:59
  Speaker 6: The New Zealand government, the Nationals in New Zealand won
• 6:03
  Speaker 6: the election on their education mandate. We are in a
• 6:06
  Speaker 6: crisis situation in education in this country.
• 6:09
  Speaker 7: Our maths is appalling and the.
• 6:11
  Speaker 6: Gratin In Institute has a plan for a ten year
• 6:14
  Speaker 6: maths guarantee. The impact on productivity if we do not
• 6:18
  Speaker 6: raise our standards is immense, And that is such an
• 6:21
  Speaker 6: easy win you could have as the coalition appointed her.
• 6:24
  Speaker 6: She's got a feet under the table, she knows the portfolio,
• 6:27
  Speaker 6: and you could have started to make headways in a
• 6:30
  Speaker 6: really good portfolio that most of the Electric parents, like myself,
• 6:35
  Speaker 6: people across the board care about. It's not a niche interest,
• 6:38
  Speaker 6: it's a mainstream one.
• 6:39
  Speaker 7: And to now have.
• 6:40
  Speaker 6: To have someone else in the portfolio learning about it
• 6:43
  Speaker 6: when you could have got off to a good start
• 6:45
  Speaker 6: is shortsighted as far.
• 6:47
  Speaker 7: As I'm concerned. Okay, now bring your enemies close too,
• 6:49
  Speaker 7: you know. But also people are really self oriented.
• 6:53
  Speaker 6: If you're given something, you're given power to do it,
• 6:56
  Speaker 6: you soon align with the person who's given you that power.
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that is very interest.
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: That's a reasonable point to make onto independent Senator fatom
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: of Payment. And she's made some pretty bombshell allegations about
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: behavior from a colleague.
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: So what's the story here and here?
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: And do we expect this to gain traction as similar
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: stories have in the past.
• 7:17
  Speaker 6: I'd be really interested to see because this is historical.
• 7:20
  Speaker 6: I mean, it's only two hundred twenty twenty three. But
• 7:23
  Speaker 6: what I'm interested about it and I do want to
• 7:25
  Speaker 6: get this right. I do want to get her wording right,
• 7:27
  Speaker 6: so Shor. What she's doing is she's claiming that a
• 7:29
  Speaker 6: male colleague was drunk and pressed her at an event,
• 7:33
  Speaker 6: saying let's get some wine into you and see you
• 7:36
  Speaker 6: dance on the table. Now she's claiming sexual harassment and
• 7:39
  Speaker 6: racial harassment.
• 7:41
  Speaker 7: I'm not an expert.
• 7:41
  Speaker 6: I don't pretend to know whether that is sexual or
• 7:43
  Speaker 6: racial harassment. But to me, that's being a dickhead and
• 7:47
  Speaker 6: it's being ugly. So call the dickhead policy. And this
• 7:50
  Speaker 6: is what I want more women to do. She says
• 7:53
  Speaker 6: she's raising this now because there's more young women in
• 7:56
  Speaker 6: Parliament that are coming through. She wants them to be
• 7:58
  Speaker 6: protected in that environment. I'm not sure that that's her
• 8:02
  Speaker 6: motivation here. I think she's bringing attention back to herself.
• 8:04
  Speaker 6: And look, if somebody feels uncomfortably racially, sexually, they have
• 8:08
  Speaker 6: the remit and the right to talk about that.
• 8:11
  Speaker 7: But I also want.
• 8:12
  Speaker 6: Women to just stand up in the moment and turn
• 8:15
  Speaker 6: around and go, don't be a dick Honestly, you're just ugly.
• 8:18
  Speaker 6: Because most men or anybody any gender who says something
• 8:22
  Speaker 6: stupid when questioned on it in the moment will usually
• 8:25
  Speaker 6: come back you usually persolutely.
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: Look, I'm all for I'm all for a formal nodheads policy.
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: I think I think it is served various parts of
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: the political and corporate world very well. And always the
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: best time, if you feel like you're able to, is
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: to deal with it in the moment, because that there
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: is actually an empowering, empowering for you in that moment,
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: rather than feeling terrible about something afterwards and maybe wishing
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: you had have said.
• 8:52
  Speaker 6: I love what you're saying there, because you're talking about
• 8:54
  Speaker 6: agency and every time you grab your own agency.
• 8:57
  Speaker 7: And you know, look, as a woman who's worked in
• 8:59
  Speaker 7: the work, but you.
• 9:00
  Speaker 6: Know a very long time, I was going to put
• 9:02
  Speaker 6: a year number on yeh, but you know, I'm not
• 9:05
  Speaker 6: pensionable yet.
• 9:06
  Speaker 7: But I do.
• 9:07
  Speaker 6: I really feel you're right on that, that you know,
• 9:09
  Speaker 6: that being having some self determination. And here she looks
• 9:12
  Speaker 6: she took it to the to the Parliamentary Workplace Support Service.
• 9:17
  Speaker 6: We will I don't know if we'll find out what
• 9:19
  Speaker 6: actually happened from that, but I you know, in all
• 9:21
  Speaker 6: these cases, you know there are a lot like defamation.
• 9:23
  Speaker 6: You need facts and clarity on them to fully understand
• 9:26
  Speaker 6: the situation.
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: Absolutely absolutely now onto the A and U and they
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: have walked back.
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: That they have walked back where they got to.
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: On the definition of anti Semitism. It's been panned by
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: Jewish groups as you would expect. So what has happened here?
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: Why the walmbag?
• 9:42
  Speaker 7: That's right.
• 9:43
  Speaker 6: So most of the universities in the country have either
• 9:46
  Speaker 6: signed up to the two definitions, and that's pretty similar
• 9:49
  Speaker 6: on anti semitism, A and YOU hasn't. And there's been
• 9:53
  Speaker 6: a lot of demonstrations and concerns around anti semitism and
• 9:57
  Speaker 6: some issues. Look, there's some question about the factor leadership
• 10:00
  Speaker 6: on holiday and I've been enjoying looking at.
• 10:02
  Speaker 7: Julie Bishop's instagram on holiday. She seems to be having
• 10:05
  Speaker 7: a jolly old time.
• 10:06
  Speaker 6: Of course, Look the fact that they haven't done it yet,
• 10:10
  Speaker 6: is it that they haven't pushed it through because they're
• 10:12
  Speaker 6: still considering it and they want.
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: Just sitting on it?
• 10:14
  Speaker 7: Are they just sitting it on to the end of
• 10:16
  Speaker 7: the year.
• 10:17
  Speaker 6: At the end of the day, I think whether or
• 10:19
  Speaker 6: not you have a definition or not, half the time
• 10:22
  Speaker 6: we can't actually say what's sorracism?
• 10:24
  Speaker 7: What is semitism? But we know when we see him,
• 10:27
  Speaker 7: let's see it.
• 10:27
  Speaker 6: And without having a definition doesn't mean they cannot prosecute
• 10:31
  Speaker 6: or when there are instances where that occurs. And I
• 10:34
  Speaker 6: think so, Yes, of course we need a framework, but
• 10:37
  Speaker 6: we shouldn't be too overly concerned that this hasn't been
• 10:39
  Speaker 6: pushed through yet. Better to do it properly and have
• 10:41
  Speaker 6: something fair enough to do it once, exactly, measure twice,
• 10:45
  Speaker 6: do it once.
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and the lady.
• 10:46
  Speaker 4: Needs a holiday, Then the lady needs a holiday now.
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: Very interesting piece about the changes to travel.
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: Rules in twenty twenty five.
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: I love to travel, but can you tell us what
• 10:55
  Speaker 4: are the tricks and the.
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: Traps for the intrepid Australians heading overseas.
• 11:00
  Speaker 6: I need to bundle off home because my daughter's taken
• 11:02
  Speaker 6: off in two weeks time and she's going to get
• 11:04
  Speaker 6: stung for these fines. Okay, basically, Caroline, the whole of
• 11:07
  Speaker 6: Europe seems to be looking at fining, probably us because
• 11:11
  Speaker 6: where the people that go there, all our gap years
• 11:13
  Speaker 6: and all our boomers who end up going over to
• 11:15
  Speaker 6: the northern Hemisphere during the summertime. These are astonishing Portugal,
• 11:20
  Speaker 6: for instance, they're going to have a three thousand dollar
• 11:23
  Speaker 6: fine for being naked in public.
• 11:25
  Speaker 7: Probably fair enough.
• 11:26
  Speaker 6: The bikini fine, okay, if you don't wear a bikini,
• 11:29
  Speaker 6: buy the pool or a beach, you're going to be fine.
• 11:32
  Speaker 6: What's that two hundred and two five hundred dollars? You
• 11:38
  Speaker 6: know in Manly where I live in New South Wales,
• 11:42
  Speaker 6: you wouldn't have anyone in the supermarket get back bikinis.
• 11:45
  Speaker 6: Lisbon's having a three five hundred dollar fine for being
• 11:48
  Speaker 6: noisy and a quiet place.
• 11:51
  Speaker 7: I was in Lisbon last year. The whole point of
• 11:53
  Speaker 7: Lisbon is that it's noisy where you go there.
• 11:55
  Speaker 6: Turkey, if you take your seatbelt off before the plane
• 11:58
  Speaker 6: says you can, you're going to be fine.
• 12:00
  Speaker 7: One hundred and four dollars.
• 12:02
  Speaker 6: There's no pub crules, so like loads of places in
• 12:04
  Speaker 6: Europe say, you know you can't go on a pub rule, Well,
• 12:07
  Speaker 6: what defines a pub crule?
• 12:08
  Speaker 7: Is that two pubs? Or is that six pubs?
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: But you know what the great thing is, how many
• 12:12
  Speaker 4: is a crawl?
• 12:13
  Speaker 7: How is a what's a crawl?
• 12:15
  Speaker 6: For you?
• 12:16
  Speaker 7: Well? Three?
• 12:17
  Speaker 4: IM a non drinker, so oh there you got there.
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: I'm a little bit useless in this particulous circumstances.
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: But you would you would think it would have to
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: be at least three or four because you would always
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: go somewhere before dinner, have dinner after dinner. So that's
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: three that could technically I.
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: Think to be four or more.
• 12:33
  Speaker 6: Is that you know what the real opportunity here is
• 12:35
  Speaker 6: for our tourism industry. We need to come up with
• 12:38
  Speaker 6: a new campaign which is basically, come as you are,
• 12:41
  Speaker 6: where your bikini in the supermarket, you can have as
• 12:43
  Speaker 6: many go to as many pubs as you like. There's
• 12:45
  Speaker 6: one there's one that says, you know how you have
• 12:48
  Speaker 6: those all inclusive deals? Yes, well the all inclusive alcohol
• 12:51
  Speaker 6: deal is now that you can only have maximum of
• 12:53
  Speaker 6: six drinks.
• 12:54
  Speaker 7: So who's going to police that?
• 12:55
  Speaker 6: If you've got an all inclusive deal, who's counting your
• 12:57
  Speaker 6: drinks as you're ordering them?
• 12:59
  Speaker 7: Look, Europe's getting tough, we know Barcelona. There's the laura that.
• 13:01
  Speaker 4: Means there's an opportunity here for us in Australia.
• 13:04
  Speaker 6: Absolutely, we just sell it as that anything goes country
• 13:07
  Speaker 6: absolutely a bit messy, it might be a bit noisy,
• 13:09
  Speaker 6: there might be a few boobs hanging out.
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: But you know, We've been that country in the past
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: and I think we should celebrate it.
• 13:14
  Speaker 4: But remember Caroline.
• 13:16
  Speaker 6: When I lived in Britain back in the nineties, everyone
• 13:19
  Speaker 6: had their boobs out on a beach, So I don't
• 13:21
  Speaker 6: know what this about to.
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: Had become prudes.
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: As always, Thank you so much, Angela Molla, Thanks Carolyn.
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: Joining me now is child and adolescent psychologist Clairo Claire.
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: Thank you for coming to the show. Big Few or
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: about Newington College going co ed. There were some legal
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: proceedings they have failed. What's the reasoning behind this particular decision.
• 13:45
  Speaker 8: Yeah, thanks Carolyn. Yeah, the decision from Newington, big private
• 13:49
  Speaker 8: private boys' school soon to be co ed now in Sydney,
• 13:52
  Speaker 8: and of course there was a big legal battle to
• 13:56
  Speaker 8: try and stop that, mostly from the old boys of
• 13:58
  Speaker 8: the school. That's fallen over basically with a judge ruling
• 14:03
  Speaker 8: that you know, the constitution allows this of the school,
• 14:07
  Speaker 8: that they have every right to go ahead with that plan,
• 14:10
  Speaker 8: which I think is coming in with girls now in
• 14:13
  Speaker 8: twenty thirty three. So it's a very disappointed people, I
• 14:17
  Speaker 8: suppose with that decision that school Newington in Sydney, very
• 14:21
  Speaker 8: prestigious private school, is one of a few now private
• 14:25
  Speaker 8: boys schools.
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: That are turning co ed.
• 14:28
  Speaker 8: I would note it's never actually the girls' schools that
• 14:30
  Speaker 8: welcome in the boys. It always seems to be the
• 14:33
  Speaker 8: other way around. But there we go, and.
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: Look that there was obviously legal proceedings and that was
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: to do with the interpretation of that particular constitution. But
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: onto the issue of single sex versus co ed education.
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: What's your view on single sex schooling or co ed
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: schooling and the impacts and potential impacts on child learning. Yeah,
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: this topic comes around and it seems quite polarized, but
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: I mean my take is there.
• 15:01
  Speaker 8: Needs to be choice. It's not an either or approach.
• 15:04
  Speaker 8: The outcomes on learning. Actually, there's no really conclusive research.
• 15:09
  Speaker 8: There is some research to the shows, of course, that
• 15:11
  Speaker 8: children come out with maybe some confidence and empathy and
• 15:14
  Speaker 8: maybe some better communication skills with the opposite sex in
• 15:17
  Speaker 8: coed education. Of course, the argument for coed education is
• 15:21
  Speaker 8: that it mirrors the real world, so communities and workplaces
• 15:24
  Speaker 8: and families aren't gender segregated. But then I would argue,
• 15:29
  Speaker 8: there's a lot of kids who do really well in
• 15:31
  Speaker 8: a single sex school, so this has to be about
• 15:34
  Speaker 8: a parent's choice. There's a lot of your research that
• 15:37
  Speaker 8: shows that some girls are less inhibited, they're less worried
• 15:41
  Speaker 8: about their image. As you can imagine, without boys around,
• 15:44
  Speaker 8: they're more likely to take up stem subjects. And I think,
• 15:48
  Speaker 8: you know, sometimes culture and tradition is just more important
• 15:50
  Speaker 8: to people, and that's okay. So I just think progression
• 15:54
  Speaker 8: should be about choice for parents looking at their individual child.
• 15:59
  Speaker 8: A child's like cologists. But I've got two kids, and
• 16:01
  Speaker 8: I actually think i've got one of each. One will
• 16:03
  Speaker 8: do really well in a single sex school. One probably
• 16:06
  Speaker 8: co eds. So I just don't think that we can
• 16:09
  Speaker 8: have progression if we're going to eliminate or minimize choice
• 16:13
  Speaker 8: for parents.
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: No fair enough, I went to a single sex school.
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: I was a massive nerd, so I think it suited
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: me really well.
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: Actually.
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: Now onto the perennial issue, unfortunately, of closing the gap,
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: and again a big part of that is health and
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: education outcomes for Indigenous kids. Have we made any progress
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: recently and is there anything new that's proposed in that
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: space which is likely to help those particular issues.
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: Well, we're not making.
• 16:42
  Speaker 8: Much progress as far as I can see. The latest
• 16:45
  Speaker 8: report shows that four out of seventeen objective outcomes for
• 16:50
  Speaker 8: the Closing the Gap policy are on track only four
• 16:54
  Speaker 8: out of the seventeen, so no, we're not doing much.
• 16:56
  Speaker 8: And the latest proposal is that, oh, you know, need
• 17:00
  Speaker 8: to include decision making with communities and indigenous voices, and
• 17:05
  Speaker 8: of course we should. That makes sense and I think
• 17:07
  Speaker 8: that most Australians recognize that we don't need a third
• 17:10
  Speaker 8: chamber of Parliament to do that. We don't need to
• 17:12
  Speaker 8: mess around with changing the constitution.
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: We just need to get on and do it.
• 17:18
  Speaker 8: As you said, you know, a lot of this comes
• 17:20
  Speaker 8: down to health and education, but across the board, I
• 17:23
  Speaker 8: think one hundred percent of Australians are ashamed and appalled
• 17:27
  Speaker 8: at the developmental outcomes of Indigenous kids, who by four
• 17:31
  Speaker 8: and five years old are absolutely you know, delayed developmentally
• 17:37
  Speaker 8: compared to non Indigenous kids. So I think, like in
• 17:40
  Speaker 8: most areas, it's just about more action, isn't it, and
• 17:43
  Speaker 8: it's less policy making. And from an education point of view,
• 17:47
  Speaker 8: I actually think that we need to come to this
• 17:51
  Speaker 8: from the point of view of not significantly lowering our
• 17:54
  Speaker 8: expectations for Indigenous kids, like we kind of think they're indigenous,
• 17:59
  Speaker 8: so you know, they're not going to attend school and
• 18:01
  Speaker 8: that's okay, that's not okay, because that's how we set
• 18:04
  Speaker 8: them up for a better life in the future, is
• 18:06
  Speaker 8: through education. So we need to hold the same standard
• 18:10
  Speaker 8: for these Indigenous kids and these expectations for them as
• 18:13
  Speaker 8: we would other Aussie kids.
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and they still they deserve to be able to achieve,
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: just like any other child in the country. Now onto
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: youth crime, and I think it's pretty fair to say
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: that it's a bit out.
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: Of control in Victoria.
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: There's now been an immediate ban on the selling of machetes.
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: Why is the government in Victoria so obsessed We're treating
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: the symptom and not treating the problem.
• 18:38
  Speaker 8: Yeah, well, I mean, on one hand, there was an
• 18:40
  Speaker 8: immediate ban. On the other hand, the other government gave
• 18:44
  Speaker 8: forty eight hours to retailers. So one could argue we're
• 18:47
  Speaker 8: safer now with less machetes on the street. But I
• 18:49
  Speaker 8: don't know if we are safer. I think there's more
• 18:51
  Speaker 8: machetes because of the fire sale that happened in the
• 18:54
  Speaker 8: last forty eight hours. They've all sold out. So you know,
• 18:57
  Speaker 8: it's just the same thing with Alan government of reactive
• 19:01
  Speaker 8: policy and a really short term look at things. Research
• 19:06
  Speaker 8: by the IPA into youth crime has shown actually the
• 19:10
  Speaker 8: biggest to turrent of youth crime is not actually things
• 19:14
  Speaker 8: like the severity of the punishment. Youth criminals are not
• 19:17
  Speaker 8: thinking about that. The biggest to turrent is whether in
• 19:20
  Speaker 8: the moment they're going to be caught or not. So
• 19:23
  Speaker 8: that's a pretty cost benefit shallow analysis, but that's the
• 19:27
  Speaker 8: reality of it. So I think if the Allen government
• 19:31
  Speaker 8: was really serious about cracking down on this, they would
• 19:34
  Speaker 8: put their funding and support into the police and have
• 19:37
  Speaker 8: them more visible. And if mashety attacks are happening in
• 19:41
  Speaker 8: shopping centers, there needs to be police and shopping centers.
• 19:44
  Speaker 8: At the end of the day, that's no different to
• 19:46
  Speaker 8: the primary school yard, is it? Where you know, troublesome
• 19:49
  Speaker 8: kind of kids don't act out when the teachers on duty.
• 19:53
  Speaker 8: And that's what the IPA research says. I think that
• 19:55
  Speaker 8: that's where we need to look at things. But at
• 19:57
  Speaker 8: the end of the day, I think all the policies
• 19:59
  Speaker 8: and ideas come out to really fringe and around the edges,
• 20:02
  Speaker 8: bail reforms and things like that. But actually that's how
• 20:06
  Speaker 8: youth criminals decite in the moment impulsively whether they're going
• 20:10
  Speaker 8: to act out or not.
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: No fair enough. Now, lastly, and I've only got about
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: a minute yet left, but a Canadian university has launched
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: an adulting one to one course to teach basic life skills.
• 20:22
  Speaker 4: Now, Claire, isn't this just the mother.
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: Of all indictments that we've failed our children on development?
• 20:30
  Speaker 8: Yes, this university cause is proposing to do things like
• 20:35
  Speaker 8: teaching not kids, twenty year olds how to put the
• 20:39
  Speaker 8: washing on and how to do the super much shopping.
• 20:41
  Speaker 8: This is the job of parents. And I've always said,
• 20:44
  Speaker 8: you know, we completely overprotect our kids in the real world.
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: We underprotect them in the online world.
• 20:50
  Speaker 8: But kids need to be able to by the time
• 20:52
  Speaker 8: they're in primary school walk into a shop and buy something.
• 20:55
  Speaker 8: We absolutely need to be teaching life skills.
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: It's not enough just.
• 20:59
  Speaker 8: To house your here and feed them. You need to
• 21:01
  Speaker 8: be parenting them. You've got eighteen years to turn out
• 21:04
  Speaker 8: a fully functioning human in society. It's a lot longer
• 21:08
  Speaker 8: than most mammals get and we're failing that and we've
• 21:11
  Speaker 8: got universities teaching it, which just seems bizarre.
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: It seems totally.
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: Bizarre given some of the other things we worry about.
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: Our universities you think your kids would be better off
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: learning those life skills at home. But as always, Clairot,
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: thank you so much for joining the show.
• 21:25
  Speaker 8: Thanks a lot still to come.
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: Lefties Losing It, Plus shocking footage has emerged of a
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: Democrat insider exposing Joe Biden's inner circle.
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: Adam B.
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: Coleman joins me next with the details. Welcome back to
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: the show, and now it's time for Lefties Losing It
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: and Democrat Representative Jasmine Crockett.
• 21:53
  Speaker 4: Well, she is back in the headlines. You right, Remember
• 21:56
  Speaker 4: when she ridiculed Texas Governor Greg.
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: Abbott for being in a wheelchair, calling him the governor
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: hot wheels.
• 22:04
  Speaker 5: We in these hot ass Texas streets, Honey, y'all know
• 22:10
  Speaker 5: we got governor hot.
• 22:11
  Speaker 8: Wheels down there.
• 22:12
  Speaker 9: Come on now, and the only thing hot about him
• 22:17
  Speaker 9: is that he is a hot ass mass honey.
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: Or perhaps the time she admitted that she was only
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: hired because she was black.
• 22:24
  Speaker 9: When I first became a public defender, I had no
• 22:26
  Speaker 9: criminal defense experience and I walked in and I told
• 22:29
  Speaker 9: my boss, Charlie, I said, listen, you should hire me.
• 22:33
  Speaker 9: He said why, I said, because I'm black.
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: Well, now she's come out swinging, calling for Republicans to
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: question President Trump's mental acuity.
• 22:40
  Speaker 5: It is time for Republicans to start calling him out
• 22:43
  Speaker 5: and started questioning his mental acuity and whether or not
• 22:47
  Speaker 5: he is equipped to serve mentally.
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: Well, that's all very interesting because where was she when
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: people were questioning Joe Biden's mental acuity?
• 22:56
  Speaker 5: People tried to talk about the mental acuity of Joe Biden,
• 23:01
  Speaker 5: and as someone who was able to interact with him,
• 23:03
  Speaker 5: I never questioned his acuity.
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: And if that isn't enough, Jasmine Crockett cringe for one day,
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: enjoy this short clip that she shared on her social media. Yes,
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: she actually thought this was something worth sharing.
• 23:16
  Speaker 10: Jasmine Crocking, she rises with the dum fighting for justice.
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: I will never be gone.
• 23:26
  Speaker 7: Now.
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: See here none other than Hollywood action star Chuck Norris. Well,
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: he explains why he left the Democrats and became a Republican.
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: I used to be a Democrat, but unfortunately the Democrats
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: went too far to the left, and the Republicans moved
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: into their position that the.
• 23:43
  Speaker 4: Democrats were forty years ago.
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: Yes to see, and so the what the Democrats.
• 23:49
  Speaker 6: Believed forty years ago, the Republicans believed today.
• 23:53
  Speaker 10: And so I realized that I had to go.
• 23:56
  Speaker 4: To a Republican because the Democrats has got to for
• 23:59
  Speaker 4: oft off the trail.
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: And it's not at all hard to see what Chuck
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: is talking about.
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: Look at this new.
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: Poll which indicates that AOC best represents the Democratic Party values.
• 24:11
  Speaker 11: Who is in fact the leader of the Democratic Party.
• 24:13
  Speaker 11: And a recent poll showed Congresswoman Alexandria Casio Cortez topping
• 24:17
  Speaker 11: the list of Democrats who best represent the party's values.
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: That should terrify every Democrat.
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: Yes, that's the same AOC, who, when she isn't pretending
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: to be a fashion model, is telling people to ignore
• 24:29
  Speaker 3: the rule of law.
• 24:30
  Speaker 12: They believe that the Biden demonistration should ignore this ruling.
• 24:34
  Speaker 12: I think that we know the courts have the legitimacy
• 24:40
  Speaker 12: and they rely on the legitimacy of their rulings.
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: Classy with a capital K joining me now is political
• 24:47
  Speaker 3: commentator and author of The Children We Left Behind.
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: Adam B. Coleman.
• 24:52
  Speaker 3: Adam an allegation was made some months back about the
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: use of autopen during the Biden administration, and then obviously
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: consequently questions over who was pulling the strings if the
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: former president wasn't where in signing things himself.
• 25:06
  Speaker 4: So, what's the latest with this auto pen situation.
• 25:11
  Speaker 13: Yeah, the latest with the autopen situation is that the
• 25:14
  Speaker 13: GOP is now starting to do investigations. They're making claims
• 25:18
  Speaker 13: about staffers being the ones who are actually making decisions
• 25:23
  Speaker 13: as to what is actually being signed supposedly by the president.
• 25:27
  Speaker 13: And coincidentally, you have some Democrats, some of them are
• 25:32
  Speaker 13: media personalities like Jake Tapper, who are coming out and
• 25:36
  Speaker 13: saying that Joe Biden's cognitive ability was declining. The thing
• 25:41
  Speaker 13: that we all could tell, you know, if we're just
• 25:43
  Speaker 13: being honest and paying attention, and that puts into question
• 25:47
  Speaker 13: was he aware of all the things that are happening
• 25:49
  Speaker 13: in the White House? And if he wasn't, who was
• 25:52
  Speaker 13: behind it? So it's less about the autopen because even
• 25:55
  Speaker 13: Trump has used autopen, but he's aware that it's being used,
• 26:00
  Speaker 13: he's given the authorization for being used. But if Joe
• 26:03
  Speaker 13: Biden is sleeping all day and someone else is turning
• 26:06
  Speaker 13: on the autopan function and pardoning people just because the
• 26:10
  Speaker 13: occurring favors, that's a massive issue.
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, potentially a huge issue.
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: Now some big admissions from a Democrat insider. Now there
• 26:19
  Speaker 3: was an undercover video from Project Veritash showing DNC Vice
• 26:23
  Speaker 3: chair David Hogg revealing that Jill Biden's chief of staff
• 26:26
  Speaker 3: allegedly held a lot of power.
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: The bigger issue was like the inner circle that was
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: about Biden.
• 26:32
  Speaker 7: That's it, and I keep stressing, I keep strengths to
• 26:34
  Speaker 7: you another Jill Biden's chief of.
• 26:36
  Speaker 8: Staff, like had an enormous amount of hour Jill Biden,
• 26:39
  Speaker 8: Jill Biden's chief That was like an open secrett of
• 26:42
  Speaker 8: like I would avoid you.
• 26:45
  Speaker 6: You was scary.
• 26:46
  Speaker 10: What was the thing? Anthony Flord, Now.
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: This is something that you know a number of people
• 26:52
  Speaker 3: were speculating about for some times, and this revelation really
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: puts moments like this inter question.
• 27:00
  Speaker 14: We're grateful and Jill is here today, heard that clapping.
• 27:05
  Speaker 14: It wasn't for me. Today at the Top four meeting,
• 27:07
  Speaker 14: Jill's going to give an update on the House Initiative,
• 27:11
  Speaker 14: White House Audition.
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: Adam, what impact does this have on people's trusting institutions?
• 27:19
  Speaker 13: Well, it's and this is having a massive impact. You know,
• 27:24
  Speaker 13: even Democrats are questioning their entire party. They're questioning, how
• 27:29
  Speaker 13: did this man even end up in the position of power.
• 27:33
  Speaker 13: Speaking for myself, personally as a former Democrat. When I
• 27:36
  Speaker 13: saw him running for office, I asked the question as
• 27:38
  Speaker 13: to why, what is the motive behind all of this,
• 27:41
  Speaker 13: because it was very clear that he was falling apart.
• 27:44
  Speaker 13: It was very clear who's belligerent. And it's also clear
• 27:48
  Speaker 13: that the reason they wanted him is because he was controllable.
• 27:52
  Speaker 13: They were able to push all types of agendas without
• 27:55
  Speaker 13: any sort of fight from him, And he got to
• 27:57
  Speaker 13: have the title as President, and Joe Biden got to
• 28:01
  Speaker 13: be the first Lady, and.
• 28:02
  Speaker 10: So everyone was wielding power around him.
• 28:05
  Speaker 13: But no one was actually thinking about the American people
• 28:08
  Speaker 13: and what was actually happening.
• 28:09
  Speaker 10: So no, a lot of people are not having.
• 28:13
  Speaker 13: Trust in institutions insanely that they did a decade ago
• 28:16
  Speaker 13: at Lease.
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah, fair enough, And look, you can understand when those
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: sorts of allegations are made that people really question even
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: the most basic of institutions. Functions now onto a Colorado
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: sports brand and it's found it'sself in some trouble with
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: the state's anti discrimination law.
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: What's the story here?
• 28:37
  Speaker 13: Essentially, their new law is an antidiscriminatory law, but it's
• 28:42
  Speaker 13: a very progressive antidiscriminatory law, and Essentially, it's trying to
• 28:46
  Speaker 13: cldify that if you use certain language in advertising, that
• 28:51
  Speaker 13: it can be seen as discriminatory, and that every person
• 28:55
  Speaker 13: in Colorado supposed to have some sort of right to
• 28:58
  Speaker 13: non discriminatory advertising. So, if you're someone who is transgender
• 29:04
  Speaker 13: and believes that even though you're a biological man, you're
• 29:07
  Speaker 13: actually a woman, someone saying that trans women are men
• 29:13
  Speaker 13: is someone that is being offensive to you, and so
• 29:16
  Speaker 13: that could lead to all different types of lawsuits and
• 29:18
  Speaker 13: things of that nature. So XXXY assuming because they're putting
• 29:23
  Speaker 13: their business in jeopardy by saying biological truths that biological
• 29:28
  Speaker 13: men are men, regardless if they were addressed or not.
• 29:32
  Speaker 13: So this is essentially why they're trying to fight back
• 29:35
  Speaker 13: against the state.
• 29:36
  Speaker 10: And I hope they do.
• 29:37
  Speaker 3: Well well and we will say how that goes. But
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: I mean, this year is not a situation in isolation.
• 29:45
  Speaker 3: Trump's threat to cut federal funding over the mission of
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: trans athletes in women's sport has prompted a rule change
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: in California.
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: What's happened here? What's the latest with these.
• 29:59
  Speaker 13: Yeah, essentially they're reacting to Trump, but they're giving a
• 30:02
  Speaker 13: lukewarm response.
• 30:04
  Speaker 10: So the championships that they have.
• 30:06
  Speaker 13: Obviously they are trans athletes who are competing, and it's
• 30:09
  Speaker 13: of course biological men always competing in women's games. So
• 30:14
  Speaker 13: what they did was for the spots that the trans
• 30:17
  Speaker 13: athletes were taking up, they added additional spots for the
• 30:20
  Speaker 13: women who lost their spots because of the trans men
• 30:23
  Speaker 13: being there, which is superficially fine, but at the same time,
• 30:28
  Speaker 13: it doesn't remove these trans athletes who have a disadvantage
• 30:32
  Speaker 13: or who have an advantage over the women.
• 30:35
  Speaker 10: It doesn't remove.
• 30:36
  Speaker 13: Them from actually winning, so they can still take medals.
• 30:40
  Speaker 13: They still can win these competitions.
• 30:42
  Speaker 10: So it's a moot point.
• 30:44
  Speaker 13: It's like, okay, sure we'll have more women be involved
• 30:47
  Speaker 13: as they lose, Like, that's not any sort of fairness.
• 30:51
  Speaker 13: And for them to think that this actually abides by
• 30:54
  Speaker 13: what Trump is actually wanting, I think is far fetched.
• 30:58
  Speaker 10: But we'll see what happened. I think that there's more
• 31:02
  Speaker 10: changes that are coming down the pipe. But if they
• 31:04
  Speaker 10: think this is it, this is definitely not the solution.
• 31:07
  Speaker 3: Well, there really is a big difference between participation and competition.
• 31:11
  Speaker 3: So I take your point there that it is a point.
• 31:14
  Speaker 3: Now our next story is almost amusing because when you
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: think of the US Secret Service, you think of you
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: think of discipline, But a couple of officers have found
• 31:24
  Speaker 3: themselves suspended this waking well, what I would say, is
• 31:27
  Speaker 3: a rather unusual set of circumstances.
• 31:29
  Speaker 13: Yes, it's an unusual set of circumstances when it comes
• 31:32
  Speaker 13: to two Secret Service members fighting each other and there
• 31:36
  Speaker 13: being caught on camera outside of Obama's location. But it
• 31:41
  Speaker 13: just goes to show you the level of this array
• 31:45
  Speaker 13: that is stemming from the federal government and especially coming
• 31:48
  Speaker 13: from the Biden administration.
• 31:50
  Speaker 10: And I would wager that.
• 31:52
  Speaker 13: Some of these people, I don't know these particular agents
• 31:55
  Speaker 13: if they were hired during the Biden administration, but.
• 31:58
  Speaker 10: There is a lot of chaos that was happening.
• 32:00
  Speaker 13: We can also look at what happened with Donald Trump
• 32:03
  Speaker 13: and the assassination attempt and the failures of the Secret
• 32:06
  Speaker 13: Service that led for him to be even shot in
• 32:09
  Speaker 13: the first place.
• 32:10
  Speaker 10: So none of this shocks me.
• 32:13
  Speaker 13: But the Secret Service has a little bit of tumultuous history.
• 32:18
  Speaker 13: We've heard, you know, situations of them getting prostitutes and
• 32:21
  Speaker 13: foreign nations and things like that, So this doesn't strike
• 32:24
  Speaker 13: me as completely abnormal.
• 32:27
  Speaker 3: Maybe they're not as disciplined as we all give.
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: Them credit for.
• 32:30
  Speaker 3: Now, we've also learned that the FBI is revisiting a
• 32:33
  Speaker 3: few things.
• 32:33
  Speaker 4: Which might have potentially fallen off there.
• 32:35
  Speaker 3: To do list like the White House cocaine find what's
• 32:39
  Speaker 3: this all about?
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: And should we speak expecting any action here?
• 32:43
  Speaker 13: Personally, I don't think there's going to be any sort
• 32:45
  Speaker 13: of action. You know, we're talking a small amount of cocaine,
• 32:50
  Speaker 13: not that there should be any cocaine in the White House,
• 32:54
  Speaker 13: but it was very clear that the Biden administration wasn't
• 32:58
  Speaker 13: going to take this particular situation seriously. For all I know,
• 33:02
  Speaker 13: it could have been a staffer who left some sort
• 33:05
  Speaker 13: of cocaine at in the White House. I don't know
• 33:08
  Speaker 13: if this is that big of a deal. You know,
• 33:11
  Speaker 13: if it was a lot of cocaine, if it was
• 33:13
  Speaker 13: a large mountain of cocaine, then it would be a
• 33:15
  Speaker 13: different story. But it looks like it was for a
• 33:18
  Speaker 13: personal usage. They can do their investigation, but I don't
• 33:22
  Speaker 13: think much will come from it.
• 33:24
  Speaker 3: Now on to Democratic Senator Michael Bennett, and he's at
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: a crack at his own party or his party's brand,
• 33:30
  Speaker 3: I should say, And I'm sure there's some truth in it.
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: But shouldn't they be concerned.
• 33:35
  Speaker 3: Shouldn't these concerns be raised and dealt with internally?
• 33:41
  Speaker 10: No, I actually like it that it's public.
• 33:46
  Speaker 13: It shows that it tells the American public that they're
• 33:51
  Speaker 13: finally waking.
• 33:51
  Speaker 10: Up just a little bit.
• 33:53
  Speaker 13: There's a little bit of glimpse, a little bit of
• 33:55
  Speaker 13: a hope, but then realizing that Democratic Party is lost,
• 33:59
  Speaker 13: and they finally recognize that they're a bit lost. And
• 34:02
  Speaker 13: some of especially the blue dog Democrats, are getting fed
• 34:06
  Speaker 13: up of the progressives who've taken over, who've led this
• 34:10
  Speaker 13: charge of being anti male and talking about patriarchy and
• 34:14
  Speaker 13: everything is oppressive. So yeah, there's a bit of disgust,
• 34:18
  Speaker 13: and I'm glad it's finally happening. I am one of
• 34:21
  Speaker 13: those Democrats who walked away and became an independent because
• 34:24
  Speaker 13: of this very thing. It is a party that is
• 34:27
  Speaker 13: not appealing anymore. It doesn't speak to the majority of
• 34:30
  Speaker 13: the American population. They cater to a niche audience of
• 34:34
  Speaker 13: typically wealth the elitists, coastal elitists, and they don't speak
• 34:39
  Speaker 13: the same language I do.
• 34:40
  Speaker 10: They don't have the same concerns that I have.
• 34:42
  Speaker 13: So I'm glad that he's actually being public about it
• 34:46
  Speaker 13: because while they're you know the reason for him saying
• 34:50
  Speaker 13: this is because he's anti Trump whatever, but he is
• 34:53
  Speaker 13: speaking some truth that their brand is actually terrible.
• 34:58
  Speaker 3: And I suppose for people out there, you know, like you,
• 35:01
  Speaker 3: who are worried about the brand, you're hoping that they
• 35:03
  Speaker 3: maybe have just worked it all out. Now, the US's
• 35:07
  Speaker 3: enemies have criticized Donald Trump's proposed one hundred and seventy
• 35:10
  Speaker 3: five billion dollar Golden Dome missile shield. Is this meant
• 35:15
  Speaker 3: to be a joke.
• 35:18
  Speaker 10: No, Actually, he's very serious about it.
• 35:22
  Speaker 13: Believes during Trump's the first administration where space force was
• 35:25
  Speaker 13: brought about, So he's very serious about reinforcing space, you know,
• 35:31
  Speaker 13: having some sort of space command looking out for the
• 35:36
  Speaker 13: America's interests when it comes to space as well. Of course,
• 35:40
  Speaker 13: North Korea and Russia aren't going to like it, trust
• 35:43
  Speaker 13: and belief. If they're the ones doing it, they wouldn't
• 35:46
  Speaker 13: be complaining.
• 35:47
  Speaker 10: So you know, they're.
• 35:49
  Speaker 13: Saying that this might turn into another space race or
• 35:52
  Speaker 13: arms race or some sort of race. But I don't
• 35:56
  Speaker 13: really care what Russia or North Korea thinks about this.
• 36:00
  Speaker 13: What I do care about is actually how much is
• 36:03
  Speaker 13: it really going to cost. Some estimates are saying that
• 36:06
  Speaker 13: his numbers are very conservative.
• 36:09
  Speaker 10: For the real.
• 36:09
  Speaker 13: Estimates maybe or times the amount that he's claiming.
• 36:13
  Speaker 10: So is this worth it? And actually, how long is
• 36:18
  Speaker 10: it going to take?
• 36:19
  Speaker 13: This is just going to be more government blow and
• 36:21
  Speaker 13: that's the thing that we should be concerned with.
• 36:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that is a definite question that the American people,
• 36:26
  Speaker 3: I'm sure are very interested in.
• 36:28
  Speaker 6: Now.
• 36:28
  Speaker 3: MPR is suing the government over Trump's executive order, obviously,
• 36:32
  Speaker 3: which was aimed at the public media. What's the claim
• 36:35
  Speaker 3: and does it have any merit?
• 36:39
  Speaker 13: Yeah, their claim is that Donald Trump is impeding on
• 36:41
  Speaker 13: their First Amendment, right, but he's not. The reality is
• 36:45
  Speaker 13: that Empire's budget is about one percent coming from the
• 36:49
  Speaker 13: federal government, even if it was fifteen or fifty percent.
• 36:54
  Speaker 13: MPR is a private organization and they're not entitled to
• 36:58
  Speaker 13: federal funding. And that's the biggest problem when it comes
• 37:01
  Speaker 13: to MPR. They believe that they're entitled to the consistent,
• 37:07
  Speaker 13: the status quo of receiving money from the federal government,
• 37:10
  Speaker 13: just like much of the federal government or much of
• 37:13
  Speaker 13: the apparatus that's attached to the federal government around DC especially,
• 37:18
  Speaker 13: So no, you're not entitled to our tax money. It's
• 37:22
  Speaker 13: not Trump's money, it's my money too. So if there
• 37:26
  Speaker 13: are questions about your conduct as a private organization, the
• 37:30
  Speaker 13: federal government doesn't have to fund you. And so very
• 37:33
  Speaker 13: clearly ninety nine percent of your budget comes from elsewhere.
• 37:36
  Speaker 10: Fill in the gap.
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, totally.
• 37:38
  Speaker 3: He's not stopping them from saying what they're saying. He's
• 37:42
  Speaker 3: just saying that the American people aren't going to pay
• 37:44
  Speaker 3: for it. The two totally different things. Now once at
• 37:47
  Speaker 3: the US university scene, and Trump has suggested that Harvard
• 37:50
  Speaker 3: cut its international student intake to fifteen percent. Now, he's
• 37:54
  Speaker 3: gone pretty hard on the Ivy League universities.
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: What's this latest barb what's the pose of it?
• 38:03
  Speaker 13: Yeah, when it comes to Harvard, they're once again upset
• 38:08
  Speaker 13: that the gravy train is ending when it comes to
• 38:10
  Speaker 13: federal funding. Even though they have over fifty billion dollars
• 38:14
  Speaker 13: in endowment they and they're essentially a mid tier hedge fund,
• 38:20
  Speaker 13: they still think that they should get as much money
• 38:22
  Speaker 13: as they possibly can from the federal government. And they
• 38:25
  Speaker 13: especially don't like it that Trump is calling into question
• 38:30
  Speaker 13: how many foreign students that they bring in and for
• 38:33
  Speaker 13: what reason?
• 38:34
  Speaker 10: And it's very clear. I mean it's an open secret.
• 38:36
  Speaker 10: You charge a.
• 38:38
  Speaker 13: Crazy amount for a crazy amount of money for foreign
• 38:41
  Speaker 13: students to come into your school. You make a lot
• 38:43
  Speaker 13: of money that way, so you just keep increasing the
• 38:45
  Speaker 13: amount of foreign students who can come through.
• 38:48
  Speaker 10: And so they're calling into.
• 38:49
  Speaker 13: Question the quality of students are coming in, the reasons
• 38:52
  Speaker 13: for taking in all these foreign students, And you know what,
• 38:56
  Speaker 13: I'm all for it. I'm all for them looking out
• 38:59
  Speaker 13: for because very clearly they're not very good at delegating
• 39:04
  Speaker 13: how many I don't know, terrorist sympathetic students who are
• 39:09
  Speaker 13: coming through, who aren't here for the American experience, who
• 39:13
  Speaker 13: are here to alter our society to some degree. And
• 39:17
  Speaker 13: granted that's not all of them, but they're obviously not
• 39:21
  Speaker 13: taking Trump's threats seriously, and so he's exercising what he
• 39:25
  Speaker 13: is saying.
• 39:26
  Speaker 3: Oh, he is absolutely exercising what he is saying. Adam Coleman,
• 39:30
  Speaker 3: thank you so much for joining us.
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: Still to come.
• 39:32
  Speaker 3: And Megan Michael thinks her next venture will make her
• 39:34
  Speaker 3: a billionaire.
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: But she also feels guilty about being rich.
• 39:38
  Speaker 4: Kinsey Schofield joins me next.
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: To discuss that and much much more.
• 39:51
  Speaker 3: Welcome back, to the show, and joining me now is
• 39:53
  Speaker 3: celebrity and oral reporter Kinsey Schofield. Kinsey Megan Michael thinks
• 39:57
  Speaker 3: her latest adventure is going to make her a billionaire,
• 40:00
  Speaker 3: and yet she feels guilty about having money.
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: I mean, honestly, this is really getting.
• 40:04
  Speaker 15: Tysome Lemonada's ad partner is Gretchen Ruben Media, and they
• 40:10
  Speaker 15: generally pay between twenty five to fifty dollars per one
• 40:14
  Speaker 15: thousand downloads. Megan would get the high end of that
• 40:18
  Speaker 15: because of name recognition, but based on the analytics provided
• 40:22
  Speaker 15: by Fast Company magazine this week, Meghan's made approximately forty
• 40:26
  Speaker 15: thousand dollars for season one of Confessions of a Female Founder,
• 40:30
  Speaker 15: not exactly Spotify money. And if she's trying to be
• 40:33
  Speaker 15: a billionaire, I think she's going to have to hustle
• 40:36
  Speaker 15: a little bit harder in the jam and the podcasting space.
• 40:41
  Speaker 3: Absolutely, But why talk about feeling guilty about having money?
• 40:45
  Speaker 4: I mean, we all know that they have it. Why
• 40:48
  Speaker 4: are you talking about it?
• 40:49
  Speaker 3: It's really quite ghost, isn't it.
• 40:51
  Speaker 2: It is?
• 40:52
  Speaker 15: But that's not the line that I took away from it.
• 40:56
  Speaker 15: She talked about a scarcity mindset, and I feel like
• 41:01
  Speaker 15: that is such a reflection of the chaos we see
• 41:04
  Speaker 15: in her unleashing all of these brands, this relentless promotion.
• 41:09
  Speaker 15: It's the fear of not having enough money that I
• 41:13
  Speaker 15: really took away.
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: From that conversation.
• 41:16
  Speaker 3: Very interesting now speaking about one of those one of
• 41:19
  Speaker 3: those projects, and that's her lifestyle brand as Ever. Now
• 41:22
  Speaker 3: there's rumor she won't be restocking some of her products,
• 41:25
  Speaker 3: including her Jam. We have been talking about this for
• 41:28
  Speaker 3: so long, this can't actually be serious.
• 41:32
  Speaker 15: Yeah, she said that she's going to take a step
• 41:34
  Speaker 15: back and kind of try to reevaluate the as Ever
• 41:38
  Speaker 15: brand until twenty twenty six.
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: She told this to Fast Company magazine.
• 41:42
  Speaker 15: Constant reinvention breeds skepticism. One minute, she's a podcast host,
• 41:47
  Speaker 15: the next a lifestyle guru, then a children's book author,
• 41:50
  Speaker 15: now a Jam entrepreneur. Reinvention isn't inherently bad, but without
• 41:55
  Speaker 15: follow through or success in any one domain, it's to
• 42:00
  Speaker 15: look like flailing, not versatility. And this inconsistency makes it
• 42:05
  Speaker 15: hard for anyone to invest emotionally or financially in Megan
• 42:10
  Speaker 15: Markle's ventures.
• 42:11
  Speaker 3: And onto that investment. And that is a really important
• 42:14
  Speaker 3: point that you make there. Do you think that her
• 42:17
  Speaker 3: well in your view, I hed.
• 42:20
  Speaker 2: Back is getting banged for back.
• 42:21
  Speaker 3: Are they starting to lose patients like at some point
• 42:25
  Speaker 3: pick something and stick with it.
• 42:27
  Speaker 15: Yeah, I'm sure that there is a lot of frustration.
• 42:31
  Speaker 15: I think that we saw it on full display with Spotify.
• 42:34
  Speaker 15: They just weren't as secretive as everybody else has been,
• 42:37
  Speaker 15: or they haven't had as much patience as everyone else
• 42:40
  Speaker 15: has been. Ted Sarandos still trying to tell us that
• 42:43
  Speaker 15: he thinks Megan Markle has this big cultural impact that
• 42:46
  Speaker 15: I'm patiently waiting to see exactly what is definition of
• 42:50
  Speaker 15: cultural impact means. But there has to be a lot
• 42:53
  Speaker 15: of frustration, especially just with the constant rebranding Love and
• 42:56
  Speaker 15: New that their new micro or Timu Royal Court that
• 43:02
  Speaker 15: they've created, and eleven new members that are going to help.
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: Rehabilitate their image.
• 43:07
  Speaker 15: It has to be exhausting for the people that have
• 43:09
  Speaker 15: invested in them to say everything seems so aimless.
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: Can you just focus.
• 43:15
  Speaker 3: Now onto the more celeb scene rather than Royal So
• 43:18
  Speaker 3: Lindsay Lowan, well, she's been part of the celebrity scene
• 43:20
  Speaker 3: for a very long time, but some recent rumors apparently
• 43:23
  Speaker 3: about her changing face.
• 43:25
  Speaker 2: What's the speculation here.
• 43:28
  Speaker 15: But she's had a facelift, and you know what, Lindsay
• 43:31
  Speaker 15: Lohan is refusing to admit that she allegedly went under
• 43:34
  Speaker 15: the knife and claims her new face is thanks to
• 43:37
  Speaker 15: listen to me when I tell you ice cold water
• 43:40
  Speaker 15: splashes to the face and drinking juice every morning like carrot, ginger,
• 43:44
  Speaker 15: lemon and apple. Oh and she's a big pickled beats person.
• 43:50
  Speaker 15: She claims she's all natur l that's not a face,
• 43:53
  Speaker 15: it's a group project.
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: But god, lover, she looks amazing.
• 43:56
  Speaker 4: She does look amazing, and god, we wish it was
• 43:58
  Speaker 4: all that simple.
• 44:00
  Speaker 3: Now to the Australian celebrity scene and debor a Furness
• 44:03
  Speaker 3: Hugh Jackson, Hugh Jackman's extrange wife. Well, she has broken
• 44:06
  Speaker 3: her silence and what is a catalyst for this?
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: Okay?
• 44:10
  Speaker 15: So while they split in twenty twenty three, she finally
• 44:13
  Speaker 15: officially filed for divorce this week.
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: I think it's after these photos surfaced of.
• 44:18
  Speaker 15: Hugh Jackman moving his current girlfriend in and Devor spoke
• 44:21
  Speaker 15: about the traumatic journey of betrayal and a lengthy statement.
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: She told The Daily Mail on Tuesday that they're split is.
• 44:27
  Speaker 15: A profound wound that cuts deep and without naming her
• 44:31
  Speaker 15: famous husband or his girlfriend s like subtly confirmed this affair,
• 44:37
  Speaker 15: and insiders say that Hugh Jackman is extremely disappointed and blindsided.
• 44:42
  Speaker 15: He believed they had an understanding that they would not
• 44:45
  Speaker 15: publicly discuss one another. He is dodging so much negative
• 44:48
  Speaker 15: press right now because of his association with Ryan Reynolds
• 44:52
  Speaker 15: and Blake Lively. He's worried both scandals will really negatively
• 44:55
  Speaker 15: impact his popularity.
• 44:58
  Speaker 2: That's a very very interesting point, isn't it.
• 45:00
  Speaker 3: But now want to some happier news, I suppose, and
• 45:03
  Speaker 3: some recent business news for Haley Beber.
• 45:05
  Speaker 2: What's the latest with her beauty brand?
• 45:07
  Speaker 15: Yeah, she's officially joined the coveted billionaires club. She probably
• 45:11
  Speaker 15: Megan Markle's probably calling her up right now, but she
• 45:15
  Speaker 15: her Road beauty brand reportedly has signed a deal with
• 45:19
  Speaker 15: Elf Cosmetics that's worth about one million dollars, while her husband,
• 45:23
  Speaker 15: Justin Bieber reportedly grapples with financial troubles. It was Wednesday
• 45:28
  Speaker 15: that they announced a definitive agreement.
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: Haley's latest milestone.
• 45:33
  Speaker 15: Fallows reports that her husband is facing financial difficulties. For
• 45:37
  Speaker 15: months now, the pop star has allegedly been dealing with
• 45:40
  Speaker 15: debt linked to has canceled twenty twenty two Justice Tour,
• 45:45
  Speaker 15: So she's the breadwinner today.
• 45:48
  Speaker 3: But I also think it's a great story from an entrepreneurship.
• 45:55
  Speaker 2: Point of view.
• 45:55
  Speaker 3: And you know, we were talking about Megan Markel earlier, but
• 45:57
  Speaker 3: he is someone who started approaching and went on to
• 46:00
  Speaker 3: be successful with it. And I think that that shows
• 46:04
  Speaker 3: real paradox, don't you.
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: Three years, this has existed for three years, and she
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: was so savvy.
• 46:10
  Speaker 15: The phone case that holds the lip glass, the lip
• 46:12
  Speaker 15: glass that's the exact shape of hers. Yeah, I mean,
• 46:16
  Speaker 15: and she's utilized the influencer title to actually generate an
• 46:22
  Speaker 15: incredible revenue and an incredible product. I have two of
• 46:25
  Speaker 15: her lip glasses in my makeup bag right now. So
• 46:28
  Speaker 15: it is an exciting project. And she is torn apart
• 46:32
  Speaker 15: on the internet regularly. There are a lot of similarities
• 46:35
  Speaker 15: between her and Megan Markle. So Meghan might want to
• 46:38
  Speaker 15: pick up the phone and say, do you mind mentoring
• 46:41
  Speaker 15: me a little bit here?
• 46:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that might be the very good point, Absolutely an
• 46:45
  Speaker 3: excellent point. Now, so much in the news about brigetting
• 46:48
  Speaker 3: Emmanuel mccronin whatever that particular incident was, but a lip
• 46:54
  Speaker 3: reader has weighed in on it. So what did they
• 46:57
  Speaker 3: have to say about what was said during this incident?
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: I cannot get enough of this story.
• 47:02
  Speaker 15: After the incident, a lipreader claims things turn icy again
• 47:06
  Speaker 15: once the couple start down the stairs to the tarmac.
• 47:08
  Speaker 15: The president offers his arm to his wife. She ignores it,
• 47:13
  Speaker 15: clinging to the railing instead, and the lip reader claims as.
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: She passes, she appears to mutter, stay away, you lose her.
• 47:20
  Speaker 15: Emanuel apparently replied to her by saying, let's try please
• 47:23
  Speaker 15: to what she allegedly answered no, And the expert described
• 47:27
  Speaker 15: it as a rare, unguarded exchange that hints at deeper
• 47:31
  Speaker 15: tensions between the couple.
• 47:34
  Speaker 3: Now you've said that there's nothing that you don't love
• 47:36
  Speaker 3: about this story, So what I mean, Look, we all
• 47:39
  Speaker 3: saw it, and it was it was really quite. It
• 47:41
  Speaker 3: was quite bruising in a I suppose a figurative as
• 47:45
  Speaker 3: well as a literal sense. But we don't often get
• 47:48
  Speaker 3: to say these sorts of things. What were the things
• 47:51
  Speaker 3: that were notable that really stood out to you.
• 47:53
  Speaker 7: In this.
• 47:55
  Speaker 15: But you know Emmanuel saying we were just being playful,
• 47:58
  Speaker 15: I mean to me, we were just being playful.
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: It wasn't anything you're jumping to conclusions.
• 48:06
  Speaker 15: That's why I hope I'm not being insensitive when I
• 48:10
  Speaker 15: say I love everything about this story. But it was
• 48:12
  Speaker 15: just such a voyeuristic moment, and I hope they were
• 48:16
  Speaker 15: just being playful. But the story just seems to have
• 48:20
  Speaker 15: so much meat that we have yet to get to.
• 48:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and I think there's probably I think you're quite right.
• 48:26
  Speaker 3: I think there's probably a bit more to that. Kinsey Schofield,
