- 0:49Speaker 5: How much money have you sent to Ukraine?
- 0:50Speaker 6: None?
- 0:51Speaker 7: Oh?
- 0:51Speaker 5: So what do you mean by we? You're the one
- 0:54Speaker 5: who's family's from Ukraine? Like, why don't you send them
- 0:56Speaker 5: a million dollars?
- 0:58Speaker 3: Let's bring in it sky. New contributor Tina McQueen. Tina
- 1:02Speaker 3: workers on Australia's largest and most expensive renewable energy projects,
- 1:07Speaker 3: No Hydro two point oh will receive up up front
- 1:12Speaker 3: pay rises of at least fifty thousand dollars under a
- 1:16Speaker 3: new deal, they will see their annual wages sorted three
- 1:19Speaker 3: hundred thousand dollars, significantly increasing labor costs on the troubled
- 1:24Speaker 3: twelve billion dollar project Tina. This is another gift from
- 1:29Speaker 3: Malcolm Turbul, the gift that keeps on giving.
- 1:32Speaker 4: Well, a gift that was originally two billion dollars has
- 1:35Speaker 4: blown out to sixteen billion dollars. And what's even worse,
- 1:39Speaker 4: They've been given these magnificent rates of pay and bonuses
- 1:43Speaker 4: and everything else, but they haven't guaranteed anything return. There's
- 1:46Speaker 4: no kepis, there's no you know, saying.
- 1:49Speaker 2: What will you do for us?
- 1:50Speaker 5: It's just you deserve this, You're going to get it.
- 1:52Speaker 1: Where do you sign up? Reader?
- 1:54Speaker 4: I mean you and I should be digging tunnels. It
- 1:56Speaker 4: sounds like a good gig for the money.
- 2:01Speaker 3: I'm not sure if I want to be part of
- 2:02Speaker 3: a project, you know, sending water upstream and then downstream.
- 2:06Speaker 3: I mean, I'm still wondering how the whole concept works. Now,
- 2:11Speaker 3: that's all about the University of Melbourne law professor their
- 2:14Speaker 3: doctor Eric desh Maker probably mispronounced that, has launched a
- 2:19Speaker 3: discrimination lawsuit against the university, claiming it was out to
- 2:23Speaker 3: get him after he said that indigenous activists were leading
- 2:26Speaker 3: the one hundred and seventy two year old institution to destruction.
- 2:30Speaker 3: The case is going to go to trial next year.
- 2:33Speaker 3: TITA doctor Desha Maker claims that the University of Melbourne
- 2:38Speaker 3: took adverse action against him by suspending his employment due
- 2:43Speaker 3: to his political opinion. Well, it's not hard to believe
- 2:48Speaker 3: that when you're talking about a university in Australia, they
- 2:51Speaker 3: have been utterly hijacked by the left. The lefts march
- 2:55Speaker 3: through the institutions started in education and if you are
- 3:01Speaker 3: center right or even just a centrist, I think you
- 3:06Speaker 3: would have a hard time at most Australian universities.
- 3:09Speaker 4: Well it's not even that reader. Even if you just
- 3:11Speaker 4: make some common sense remarks, you can be penalized, which
- 3:16Speaker 4: is what happened to this stopt to now.
- 3:18Speaker 2: Originally not a lot of notice.
- 3:20Speaker 4: Was taken until one of his colleagues made a complaint,
- 3:23Speaker 4: which forced his attention, has enforced all.
- 3:26Speaker 3: The legal action.
- 3:27Speaker 1: I feel very sorry for him.
- 3:29Speaker 4: But he has to keep on a fight because he's
- 3:30Speaker 4: absolutely right. You shouldn't be sacked for an opinion or.
- 3:35Speaker 1: Being of a political suasion.
- 3:36Speaker 2: Persuasion.
- 3:37Speaker 4: The university may not agree with. It's absolutely disgraceful, but
- 3:40Speaker 4: it happens all the time in universities.
- 3:43Speaker 2: It's now happening just in life.
- 3:44Speaker 4: We all have to be very careful what we say are,
- 3:47Speaker 4: particularly regarding the indigenous industries.
- 3:50Speaker 2: So that's how life is reader.
- 3:52Speaker 3: Unfortunately, Tina McQueen, thank you so much for your time tonight.
- 3:57Speaker 3: Former Liberal Senator Linda Reynold's defamation case against X staffer
- 4:01Speaker 3: Britney Higgins has come to an end, with West Australian.
- 4:04Speaker 2: Supreme Court Justice Paul Tottle.
- 4:06Speaker 3: Ruling that Britney Higgins must pay her former boss eighty
- 4:10Speaker 3: percent of her legal costs, amounting to approximately one point
- 4:13Speaker 3: five million dollars. That's on top of the three hundred
- 4:17Speaker 3: and forty thousand in damages and interest already awarded. Justice
- 4:21Speaker 3: Paul Tottle's judgment also revealed that Higgins initially offered Reynolds
- 4:25Speaker 3: two hundred thousand dollars with a mutual statement of regret
- 4:30Speaker 3: before the case went to trial. Now that so called
- 4:34Speaker 3: mutual statement of regret would have required Linda Reynolds acknowledging
- 4:39Speaker 3: Britney Higgins believed she was not given appropriate support after
- 4:43Speaker 3: being allegedly raped in Parliament House. Joining me now for
- 4:47Speaker 3: more on this is a Macedoni legal principle, Sam Macedoni Sam.
- 4:52Speaker 3: The judge found that that settlement offer, tabled just four
- 4:56Speaker 3: days before the trial was scheduled to begin, could not
- 5:00Speaker 3: be considered reasonable.
- 5:02Speaker 8: No, it was simply a contribution towards Miss Reynolds costs,
- 5:08Speaker 8: which were well in excess of the two hundred thousand dollars.
- 5:12Speaker 8: In any event, it contained no form of vindication as
- 5:16Speaker 8: to her reputation, It didn't include any sort of an apology,
- 5:20Speaker 8: and there was no admission of liability, so to speak. So,
- 5:24Speaker 8: in aller the circumstances he's on a found that the
- 5:28Speaker 8: offer was nowhere near an apology and therefore it was
- 5:33Speaker 8: rightly rejected by Miss Reynolds.
- 5:38Speaker 3: Now, could this judgment potentially bankrupt Britney Higgins? The money
- 5:43Speaker 3: she received the two point four million dollars settlement was
- 5:48Speaker 3: placed into a trust. Does that mean Linda reynolds legal
- 5:51Speaker 3: team can't get their hands on it?
- 5:54Speaker 2: Is those funds inaccessible.
- 5:57Speaker 8: Look, there's always ways and means of getting to trust funds,
- 6:02Speaker 8: but if nothing else, if that isn't available, she will
- 6:06Speaker 8: no doubt be declared bankrupt because she won't be able
- 6:09Speaker 8: to pay the money that she has to pay, which
- 6:12Speaker 8: is around about one point five million at the end
- 6:15Speaker 8: of the day. And if she's bankrupted, then any trustee
- 6:18Speaker 8: in bankruptcy will call in all of her assets and
- 6:21Speaker 8: anything that she has an entitlement to pay off that debt.
- 6:26Speaker 8: So I don't think that she'll be able to hide
- 6:28Speaker 8: behind the trust forever, and it is a debt that
- 6:31Speaker 8: will follow her for a long long time until it's paid.
- 6:37Speaker 3: Was this a massive miscalculation from her legal team? Why
- 6:43Speaker 3: did they go ahead with this case or why do
- 6:46Speaker 3: they not make a more significant offer to settle given
- 6:50Speaker 3: the odds of this happening that she could be left
- 6:55Speaker 3: bankrupt at the end of this trial.
- 6:57Speaker 8: Mainly because lawyers have to do what they're instructed to do.
- 7:01Speaker 8: Their advice may very well have been a lot different,
- 7:04Speaker 8: But if they were instructed to make an offer of
- 7:06Speaker 8: two hundred thousand towards legal costs only, then that's the
- 7:11Speaker 8: offer that was made. As far as proceeding with the matter,
- 7:14Speaker 8: they must follow instruction, So whether they believe that she
- 7:19Speaker 8: would win or not, they had to go ahead and
- 7:21Speaker 8: do the best they could.
- 7:24Speaker 7: Now.
- 7:25Speaker 3: Linda Reynolds has called on the alban Easy government to
- 7:28Speaker 3: stop its lawyers from fighting against a worker's compensation claim
- 7:33Speaker 3: lodged by her former chief of staff, fa Brown, who
- 7:36Speaker 3: was falsely accused of covering up this alleged rape of
- 7:40Speaker 3: Britney Higgins. Linda Reynolds told the Australian newspaper it is
- 7:44Speaker 3: clear to me and so many others that Fiona suffered
- 7:47Speaker 3: a grave injustice that has yet to be righted. My
- 7:51Speaker 3: message to the Prime Minister is, even if you will
- 7:54Speaker 3: not apologize for the dammage you and Labor have done,
- 7:56Speaker 3: please do the right thing now and compensate Fiona for
- 8:00Speaker 3: the terrible dammage you inflicted on her so her healing
- 8:03Speaker 3: can finally start. Please Sam Fyoda Brown I think is
- 8:09Speaker 3: undeniably one of the victims of this saga.
- 8:13Speaker 8: Without any doubt in the world, she was virtually accused
- 8:18Speaker 8: of covering up the rape that Higgins said had occurred
- 8:22Speaker 8: to her. Now that cover up was totally set aside
- 8:28Speaker 8: by his honor, Justice Lee when he said there is
- 8:31Speaker 8: no such thing as a cover up by Brown. Therefore,
- 8:35Speaker 8: she was wrongly accused of doing a rather horrible thing
- 8:39Speaker 8: and I can understand how she has been damaged in
- 8:42Speaker 8: reputation and in financially, and therefore she should be compensated.
- 8:47Speaker 8: And I think the government came too quick to offer
- 8:50Speaker 8: Britney higgin Higgins two point four million, and yet they're
- 8:54Speaker 8: barking at offering this woman who was wrongly convicted of
- 9:00Speaker 8: doing something she didn't do, and they're fighting a compensation claim.
- 9:03Speaker 8: They should be out there negotiating a settlement as quickly
- 9:07Speaker 8: as possible.
- 9:09Speaker 3: Absolutely, it's salt in to the wounds, and we know
- 9:12Speaker 3: the terrible personal costs. She's spoken about how low she
- 9:17Speaker 3: got with with this ordeal. Sam Macedoni, thank you so
- 9:21Speaker 3: much for your.
- 9:22Speaker 2: Time tonight, Thank you, thank you. Still to come a
- 9:25Speaker 2: left he is Losing It plus c J.
- 9:27Speaker 3: Pearson as the latest from the US, including the fallout
- 9:30Speaker 3: from the horrific murder of a young Ukrainian refugee.
- 9:44Speaker 2: You're watching the Reader Paney Show, and it's time for Left.
- 9:47Speaker 3: He's losing it and we're going to have some shameful
- 9:51Speaker 3: antics from CNN shortly.
- 9:52Speaker 2: You will not believe how low they have sunk.
- 9:54Speaker 3: But let's start tonight with the leader of the Free
- 9:57Speaker 3: world facing down demented protests ruining everyone's dinner.
- 10:02Speaker 2: President Trump was a.
- 10:03Speaker 3: Joe's Stone crab in DC to enjoy a meal with
- 10:06Speaker 3: a vp jd vance. Michael Arrubio was there, Pete Hexeth,
- 10:11Speaker 3: thank you.
- 10:15Speaker 1: That you have a six sitting them.
- 10:20Speaker 3: But it wasn't long until the usual suspects were ruining
- 10:24Speaker 3: everyone's delicious crab meals with their craze, screeching about freeing DC,
- 10:30Speaker 3: freeing Palestine, and they were also calling President Trump Hitler.
- 10:35Speaker 3: Watch the President walk towards them as they made spectacles
- 10:39Speaker 3: of themselves now international spectacles. Now Here is a hint
- 11:11Speaker 3: for the diabolically dumb women in that clip. If Trump
- 11:15Speaker 3: was Hitler, if it was a modern day dictator, you
- 11:18Speaker 3: would never be seen again. You think you can scream
- 11:21Speaker 3: insults to I don't know, Jijiping or Kim Jong un.
- 11:26Speaker 3: If you did, you'd be in a labor camp or
- 11:28Speaker 3: dead in quick time. Now to a delightful clash between
- 11:33Speaker 3: Tucker Carlson and billionaire and dimwit Mark Cuban. Yes, he's
- 11:37Speaker 3: both unusual combination. I know here they are discussing funding
- 11:41Speaker 3: for Ukraine.
- 11:42Speaker 9: Half my family's Ukrainian from my grandparents, and so you know,
- 11:46Speaker 9: personally I think we should help, but I don't have
- 11:50Speaker 9: a studied answer for you.
- 11:51Speaker 5: Have you said how much money have you sent Ukraine?
- 11:53Speaker 6: None?
- 11:54Speaker 5: So what do you mean by we? You're the one
- 11:58Speaker 5: who's family's from Ukraine? Like, why don't you send a
- 12:00Speaker 5: billion dollars?
- 12:00Speaker 1: Because I'm trying to fix health care?
- 12:02Speaker 5: Why do you fix their healthcare? If you're like so deep,
- 12:04Speaker 5: if you think we need to help, why don't you start?
- 12:07Speaker 1: How about you?
- 12:07Speaker 5: First?
- 12:08Speaker 1: I noticed that's never.
- 12:09Speaker 5: Like even an option for anybody.
- 12:10Speaker 1: It's like, we need to help. That's not what chaired is.
- 12:13Speaker 5: Forcing other people to help is not charity.
- 12:16Speaker 3: Here's a good entity love that we need more Carson v.
- 12:20Speaker 3: Cuban content in our lives. Now to another clash, but
- 12:23Speaker 3: this one was very much one side, and despite the
- 12:27Speaker 3: best efforts of MSNBC host Mika Brazinski, Watch Our Borders,
- 12:32Speaker 3: Our Tom Homan demolishes her ridiculous claims and calls out
- 12:36Speaker 3: her earlier misleading coverage of ICE operations.
- 12:40Speaker 9: I see on the should this morning, you have Governor
- 12:42Speaker 9: Heally talking about ICE doing enforcement.
- 12:44Speaker 7: Operations at a church involve they were parked there, They
- 12:49Speaker 7: didn't do an operation there. She said they were parked
- 12:52Speaker 7: in a public space.
- 12:53Speaker 9: Legally, but to see that and to push it out
- 12:56Speaker 9: there with fear in the immigrant community.
- 12:59Speaker 4: So let me tell you to.
- 13:04Speaker 7: Agent's vehicle there on a park street.
- 13:07Speaker 1: They're on the public street, on a public street.
- 13:10Speaker 9: Waiting to respond to a criminal alien release pulled outside
- 13:13Speaker 9: the road. Let me tell you in the last couple
- 13:16Speaker 9: of days, what's happened in Boston. They've arrested Victor Goldbetz Paris,
- 13:19Speaker 9: the thirty three year old criminal alily from Guatemala with
- 13:22Speaker 9: charges of aggravated rape, assaultant batty with dangerous weapon in
- 13:25Speaker 9: decent assault, and battery on a victim fourteen years or younger.
- 13:28Speaker 9: They arrested Katie Espinoza, thirty fe year old criminal alien
- 13:31Speaker 9: from Columbia, with charges of aggravators assault on a pregnant victim.
- 13:36Speaker 9: They arrested Joshua Gonzalez, a twenty four year old criminal
- 13:39Speaker 9: alien from Dominican Republic, with charges for trafficking heroin, morphine, opium,
- 13:44Speaker 9: resisting police, dislready conduct, and drug distribution. They also arrested
- 13:49Speaker 9: Samuel Armanda Barrero, a twenty year old criminal illegal ali
- 13:52Speaker 9: from Guatemlo Opendon charges for sault and battery on a child.
- 13:56Speaker 9: For this past year, I've seen innocent Americans raped and
- 13:59Speaker 9: bird by people who are not supposed to be here.
- 14:02Speaker 9: So rather than going back and forth saying, well, I
- 14:04Speaker 9: got a current park near a church that.
- 14:06Speaker 3: Is ridiculous, ridiculous indeed, but Mica was not done yet.
- 14:13Speaker 3: Having hit rock bottom, she decided to start digging.
- 14:18Speaker 7: I would argue that actually that the ice vehicle parked
- 14:22Speaker 7: upside a Spanish mass is a frightening site given what
- 14:26Speaker 7: has happened in this country. I also, with respect, sir,
- 14:29Speaker 7: thank you for the information that you have shared on
- 14:32Speaker 7: this show, but we would appreciate all of the information,
- 14:36Speaker 7: all of it, all of the data that you have.
- 14:40Speaker 9: I've done this show several times. Every time on your show,
- 14:43Speaker 9: I speak with integrity, I speak with honesty, and I
- 14:45Speaker 9: speak with facts. The bottom line is, because of all
- 14:48Speaker 9: the Fausari and you used the term disappearing people.
- 14:54Speaker 7: To the group, that.
- 14:55Speaker 3: Essentially, she is determined to make a monumental full of
- 14:59Speaker 3: herself repeating these debunked Democrat talking points. Even some Democrats,
- 15:04Speaker 3: the sensible ones, have stopped making these claims, but not
- 15:08Speaker 3: Maker and not MSNBC.
- 15:10Speaker 2: They are going down with the ship.
- 15:12Speaker 7: Why a lot of these people have been disappeared. You
- 15:16Speaker 7: say you have data, We would love to see it
- 15:20Speaker 7: the American people see this data.
- 15:23Speaker 9: Well, here's the rhetic again, right, you just disappeared. That
- 15:26Speaker 9: was a ridiculous thing to say, because ICE is doing
- 15:29Speaker 9: the same thing we've done for decades. But because of
- 15:32Speaker 9: the last four years, ICE wasn't allowed to enforce the law.
- 15:36Speaker 9: But we're doing the same thing right now that we've
- 15:38Speaker 9: done when I started back in nineteen eighty four. ICE
- 15:41Speaker 9: agents are enforcing the laws and acted by Congress now.
- 15:44Speaker 3: To see it and disgracing itself again by accusing Donald
- 15:48Speaker 3: Trump of seizing on the murder of a young Ukrainian
- 15:51Speaker 3: woman are murdered they had refused to cover until now.
- 15:54Speaker 5: Ukrainian refugees murder caught on camera.
- 15:57Speaker 2: It is absolutely horrific.
- 15:58Speaker 10: Trump is now seizing on this to push his nationwide
- 16:01Speaker 10: crap down.
- 16:03Speaker 2: And it gets worse.
- 16:04Speaker 3: Have her listen to what's in in anchor, Abby Philip
- 16:07Speaker 3: had to say.
- 16:08Speaker 2: She seems to be more mad.
- 16:09Speaker 3: At Charlie Kirk for bringing attention to this sickening crime
- 16:13Speaker 3: than the barbaric thug.
- 16:15Speaker 2: Who killed an innocent woman.
- 16:17Speaker 11: When you are mentally ill, you have a hard time
- 16:19Speaker 11: knowing that you are mentally ill. But also, I mean,
- 16:22Speaker 11: people like Charlie Kirk fan they've been looking for opportunities
- 16:26Speaker 11: to make this some sort of like reciprocal George Floyd situation.
- 16:31Speaker 11: And that's the part that I think he's almost giving
- 16:34Speaker 11: away the game. And it's sad to see a lot
- 16:37Speaker 11: of people going along with it.
- 16:40Speaker 2: You know what, I'm almost speechless.
- 16:43Speaker 3: Comparing that poor innocent woman to George Floyd is bad enough,
- 16:48Speaker 3: but get ready to be truly disgusted.
- 16:50Speaker 2: Here is Van Jones.
- 16:52Speaker 6: We don't know why that man did what he did.
- 16:55Speaker 6: And for Charlie Kirk to say we know he did
- 16:57Speaker 6: it because she's white when there's no evidence of it
- 17:00Speaker 6: is just pure race mongering, hate mongering.
- 17:04Speaker 1: It's wrong.
- 17:05Speaker 6: Then he says that if something like that had happened
- 17:07Speaker 6: the other way, there'd be sweeping changes in polls on society.
- 17:11Speaker 6: Where is the George Floyd Policing Act.
- 17:14Speaker 1: It didn't pass well.
- 17:15Speaker 3: No evidence except the killer saying I've got the white girl,
- 17:19Speaker 3: and the fact that he was seated with five others
- 17:21Speaker 3: around him who he didn't attack, who all happened to
- 17:24Speaker 3: be black, but he targeted Irena pretty much as soon
- 17:27Speaker 3: as she sat down in.
- 17:28Speaker 2: Front of him.
- 17:30Speaker 3: All of this had White House Press Secretary Caroline Leavitt
- 17:33Speaker 3: fuming when she addressed the media earlier.
- 17:35Speaker 10: Today, Arena Zarutska was stabbed to death on the rail
- 17:39Speaker 10: system in Charlotte, North Carolina by a savage career criminal.
- 17:44Speaker 10: The most enraging and unacceptable part of the story is
- 17:47Speaker 10: that her death was entirely preventable. De Carlos Brown never
- 17:51Speaker 10: should have been on that train that night. In fact,
- 17:54Speaker 10: he should have been behind bars. Previously served five years
- 17:58Speaker 10: in prison for a robbery with a deadly weapon charge,
- 18:01Speaker 10: and he had also forfeited bonds three different times, twice
- 18:04Speaker 10: in twenty fourteen and once in twenty twenty three. Despite
- 18:09Speaker 10: all of this past documented criminal history, when Brown was
- 18:12Speaker 10: arrested yet again in January of this past year, a
- 18:15Speaker 10: Democrat judge, who will I will add was a supporter,
- 18:19Speaker 10: a strong supporter of former Vice President Kamala Harris, released
- 18:23Speaker 10: this insane criminal once again without requiring him to pay
- 18:27Speaker 10: any bail. He simply had to sign a written promise
- 18:31Speaker 10: to return for his court hearing. Think about how crazy
- 18:35Speaker 10: it is to ask a career criminal, someone who by
- 18:38Speaker 10: definition repeatedly breaks the law to just sign a written
- 18:42Speaker 10: promise and come back again another day. This is madness.
- 18:46Speaker 3: And Caroline Levitt had a message for those in the
- 18:49Speaker 3: media who had refused to cover this shocking murder.
- 18:53Speaker 10: And perhaps most shamefully of all, the majority of the
- 18:56Speaker 10: media many outlets in this room decided that her murder
- 18:59Speaker 10: was not worth reporting on originally because it does not
- 19:03Speaker 10: fit a preferred narrative. Many of the journalists in this
- 19:07Speaker 10: room spills plenty of ink trying to smear Daniel Penny
- 19:10Speaker 10: for defending a subway car from a deranged lunatic in
- 19:13Speaker 10: New York City, but none of those same reporters lift
- 19:17Speaker 10: a finger to write stories about an actual murderer. Here's
- 19:21Speaker 10: the truth that every American must know. Too many innocent
- 19:24Speaker 10: people across the country continue to pay the price of
- 19:27Speaker 10: the failed experiment known as cashless Bill.
- 19:31Speaker 3: Joining me now is political advisor and commentator CJ.
- 19:35Speaker 2: Pearson. CJ. The full United footage is now.
- 19:38Speaker 3: Being widely circulated of that shocking murder, and I'll ask
- 19:42Speaker 3: you about that in a second. It is one of
- 19:43Speaker 3: the most chilling things I've ever seen, not just the
- 19:47Speaker 3: brutal attack, but what happened afterwards. But firstly, tell me
- 19:52Speaker 3: about the reaction of the media since they've been called
- 19:55Speaker 3: out for the manner they have covered this story and
- 19:59Speaker 3: in many cases the manner in which they have refused
- 20:02Speaker 3: to cover this shocking story.
- 20:04Speaker 12: Well, first of all words, thank you again for having me, Rita,
- 20:07Speaker 12: and I got a level with you. You know, that
- 20:08Speaker 12: video is not just sickening, but it's disgusting for many
- 20:11Speaker 12: of the reasons that Caroline said, it was preventable, but
- 20:14Speaker 12: of course because of the disasterrous progressive policies of you know,
- 20:18Speaker 12: far left politicians like what we are seeing in Charlotte,
- 20:21Speaker 12: someone like that was allowed to walk free to commit
- 20:24Speaker 12: the act of violence that we saw in that video.
- 20:26Speaker 12: When I talk about the media's reaction to this, it's
- 20:28Speaker 12: even more disgusting. Right if this was a black man
- 20:32Speaker 12: who was you know, killed by a white man, this
- 20:35Speaker 12: would be wall to wall coverage, unending, and that is
- 20:39Speaker 12: exactly what we would see coming from folks like Al Sharpton,
- 20:43Speaker 12: who would be marching this reach right now, probably calling
- 20:45Speaker 12: for America to.
- 20:46Speaker 1: Be burned down. But because this is a white woman, but.
- 20:49Speaker 12: Because this is a different situation of course, as Caroline said,
- 20:52Speaker 12: doesn't fit their preferred narrative.
- 20:55Speaker 1: They want to ignore it.
- 20:56Speaker 12: They want to accuse Conservatives of overreacting and pouncing on
- 21:01Speaker 12: this situation. No one's pouncing on anything. What we're demanding
- 21:05Speaker 12: is the return of Laura in this country. And I
- 21:08Speaker 12: think it's a radical position to hold to believe in that.
- 21:13Speaker 3: Well, the full unedited version, and we're not going to
- 21:16Speaker 3: play you the moment of the attack is just too shocking.
- 21:20Speaker 3: But a warning nevertheless, because some viewers may find this distressing,
- 21:25Speaker 3: and it is distressing the lead up to the attack
- 21:27Speaker 3: and what happened afterwards, that's disturbing enough.
- 21:32Speaker 2: After Irena was stad.
- 21:33Speaker 3: There were five others sitting nearby who didn't go to
- 21:38Speaker 3: her assistancy. J the good Samaritans who eventually came to
- 21:42Speaker 3: help her were further down the carriage, and they are
- 21:45Speaker 3: to be applauded for trying to save her life. But
- 21:49Speaker 3: it was really quite chilling to watch people who failed
- 21:54Speaker 3: to check on her after she's suffered those horrific injuries.
- 21:58Speaker 1: You know, it was a disgusting display of cowardice.
- 22:01Speaker 12: You need to be quite honest with you and I
- 22:03Speaker 12: and I'm glad that there were people that eventually rose
- 22:05Speaker 12: to the occasion to render her aid. There was one
- 22:08Speaker 12: man who actually took his shirt off and attempted to
- 22:10Speaker 12: apply a turnity to stop the was going on, and
- 22:13Speaker 12: God bless him for it. But again, you know, what
- 22:16Speaker 12: was discussing, of course, was his actions, but also the
- 22:19Speaker 12: fact that no one's frung to help. I think it
- 22:21Speaker 12: goes to show that only, you know, do we have
- 22:24Speaker 12: a problem when it comes to actually courage in this country.
- 22:27Speaker 12: But also too, they were probably afraid as well, you know,
- 22:31Speaker 12: which goes to show this man had no business being
- 22:33Speaker 12: on our no business being out in the community. And
- 22:35Speaker 12: the judge that let him out, we should know his
- 22:38Speaker 12: name as well.
- 22:41Speaker 3: Now, SiGe, the race issue here, you've already touched on it.
- 22:45Speaker 3: It's undeniable when you look at the media's reluctance to
- 22:48Speaker 3: properly cover this story. And also undeniable is the fact
- 22:53Speaker 3: that the other five passengers sitting near.
- 22:55Speaker 2: The killer were black.
- 22:57Speaker 3: They weren't attacked, but as soon as Irena sat down,
- 23:00Speaker 3: she became a target.
- 23:02Speaker 2: The statistical data.
- 23:04Speaker 3: About black on white crime is now being talked about widely,
- 23:08Speaker 3: perhaps for the first time in a long time. Let's
- 23:11Speaker 3: hear now from will Caine on Fox News.
- 23:15Speaker 13: I want to show you the actual truth when it
- 23:17Speaker 13: comes to crime. The story is about race. Race. Take
- 23:23Speaker 13: a look at the black on white crimes three hundred
- 23:27Speaker 13: and eighty five thousand and twenty twenty three, the white
- 23:31Speaker 13: on black crimes just under one hundred and eighteen thousand.
- 23:35Speaker 13: You see the comparative numerical difference. But now here's what
- 23:39Speaker 13: the media actually does. They did what our camera operator
- 23:41Speaker 13: just began to do a moment ago. I'm going to
- 23:43Speaker 13: step out of the way. I'm going to show you
- 23:45Speaker 13: literally what the media does with the camera. They zoom
- 23:48Speaker 13: in on this number, this number devoid of context.
- 23:55Speaker 1: Ce J.
- 23:56Speaker 3: The data shows a white person is around thirty times
- 23:59Speaker 3: more likely to be victimized by a black person then
- 24:03Speaker 3: the other way around. How much discussion is there about
- 24:06Speaker 3: that issue at the moment in America, or the fact
- 24:09Speaker 3: that you do have black men of a certain age
- 24:12Speaker 3: so heavily overrepresented in the violent crime statistics.
- 24:18Speaker 12: There's very little discussion about this issue in America because
- 24:21Speaker 12: the life seeks us shut down discussion in America. Right.
- 24:24Speaker 1: You know, here's the deal.
- 24:25Speaker 12: You know they want to say, let's not make this
- 24:27Speaker 12: about race, let's not bring color into it. In that video,
- 24:30Speaker 12: what you see is that man, that perpetrator, that thug,
- 24:34Speaker 12: that animal.
- 24:35Speaker 1: He says, I got that white girl.
- 24:38Speaker 12: He says repeatedly, rita, I got that white girl.
- 24:44Speaker 1: And so it's not us making it about race.
- 24:46Speaker 12: It's not Fox News making it about racist's not any
- 24:48Speaker 12: of us weighing in on this terrible tragedy making it
- 24:52Speaker 12: about race. He committed this act because he was motivated
- 24:56Speaker 12: by race. And so if you want to call anyone
- 24:58Speaker 12: out for racism or so called racial supremacy, call out
- 25:02Speaker 12: the thug who did this.
- 25:05Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 25:06Speaker 3: Absolutely, And again, as you said, if the races were reversed,
- 25:10Speaker 3: if you had here a black victim, a white perpetrator,
- 25:14Speaker 3: and a white perpetrator referring to the race of the victim,
- 25:18Speaker 3: you're telling me people are going to be talking about
- 25:20Speaker 3: it and they're not going to be noting the racial element. Now, Democrats,
- 25:25Speaker 3: including Roy Cooper, are seeking to highlight mental health issues,
- 25:30Speaker 3: the lack of policing. But this particular perpetrator had plenty
- 25:35Speaker 3: of contact with police, didn't you, CJ.
- 25:39Speaker 1: He exactly did.
- 25:40Speaker 12: And let's also talk about the fact that it's the
- 25:42Speaker 12: Democrats who've called for the defunding of the police. It's
- 25:44Speaker 12: the Democrats who've called for less policing in our communities.
- 25:47Speaker 12: It's the Democrats right now who are fighting against Presidents
- 25:49Speaker 12: Frump to secure America's greatest.
- 25:52Speaker 1: And once beautiful cities.
- 25:53Speaker 12: And so you know, it's ironic to hear this from them,
- 25:56Speaker 12: but honestly, it's out of survival that they're now starting
- 25:59Speaker 12: to see this, right. They realize that the American public
- 26:02Speaker 12: are not with them. The American public want to live
- 26:04Speaker 12: in safe and secure communities. They don't want to live
- 26:07Speaker 12: in fear on their public transportation as they walk down
- 26:10Speaker 12: the sidewalk. And so, yeah, it's actually not surprising to
- 26:13Speaker 12: me to hear Roy Cooper change his tune.
- 26:15Speaker 1: But it's a day short and.
- 26:17Speaker 12: A dollar elate, And I got to tell you, I
- 26:19Speaker 12: think the American people are going to hold him accountable
- 26:21Speaker 12: for it. And this is a man who, by the way,
- 26:22Speaker 12: is running for US Senate right now in the state
- 26:24Speaker 12: of North Carolina. And I got to tell you this
- 26:26Speaker 12: is going to hang around his neck like an Orbitroce.
- 26:30Speaker 3: Now, So, Jay, what is happening with the job data
- 26:33Speaker 3: in the US. I saw the Bureau of Labor Statistics
- 26:36Speaker 3: revised down the job numbers by some nine hundred thousand
- 26:41Speaker 3: for twenty twenty four twenty twenty five. How many jobs
- 26:45Speaker 3: created under the Biden administration have now been revised away
- 26:51Speaker 3: they never really.
- 26:52Speaker 2: Existed, Dude.
- 26:54Speaker 1: It's looking to look upwards of a million.
- 26:56Speaker 12: And you know, similar to the way in which they've
- 26:57Speaker 12: cooked the books for the MPD in the City of DC,
- 27:00Speaker 12: where they're reporting less valid crime that's actually than occurring,
- 27:03Speaker 12: we're actually seeing the same thing with these BLS statistics,
- 27:06Speaker 12: which is absolutely unfortunate, which actually underscores the importance of
- 27:09Speaker 12: performing or confirming.
- 27:11Speaker 1: You know, an incredible guy like EJ.
- 27:13Speaker 12: And Anthony, who is a Heritage Foundation scholar, to replace
- 27:17Speaker 12: the former buying appoint to who was in the position before.
- 27:20Speaker 12: It's actually a shame to see, but it's just not
- 27:23Speaker 12: surprising at this point. You know, everything that Biden administration
- 27:26Speaker 12: did seems to have been in an attempt to cover
- 27:29Speaker 12: just how much of a failure their entire political agenda was.
- 27:35Speaker 3: To Florida now and the federal trial of Ryan Ruth,
- 27:39Speaker 3: who faces charges for attempting to assassinate President Donald Trump.
- 27:43Speaker 3: This has occurred back at his West Palm Beach golf
- 27:48Speaker 3: club in September twenty twenty four, not long after the
- 27:51Speaker 3: first assassination attempt in Pennsylvania.
- 27:55Speaker 2: CJ the judge in.
- 27:56Speaker 3: This case, has exclusive potential jurors any self declared biases.
- 28:02Speaker 3: One woman who said I am Mega was eliminated as
- 28:05Speaker 3: a potential duror. But that doesn't make me wonder how
- 28:09Speaker 3: many others are quiet about their affiliations, whatever they may be,
- 28:13Speaker 3: And what more do we know about this alleged assassin,
- 28:18Speaker 3: Ryan Ruth. It seems like we've learned very little since
- 28:21Speaker 3: September twenty twenty four.
- 28:24Speaker 12: Yeah, I'm definitely curious about the political affiliations of those
- 28:27Speaker 12: jurors as well, but also too to your point, who
- 28:30Speaker 12: exactly is right and Ruth? And why was he motivated
- 28:33Speaker 12: to do what he did? We haven't heard much about that.
- 28:36Speaker 1: You know.
- 28:36Speaker 12: Hopefully, you know, Cash Hotel and good folks of the
- 28:38Speaker 12: FBI are taking a hard look at that and we
- 28:40Speaker 12: will learn more. But I think that the American people
- 28:43Speaker 12: are desperate to actually, you know, get a lot more
- 28:46Speaker 12: inside of his motivations as to why he did what
- 28:48Speaker 12: he did and to ensure that he gets the fair
- 28:51Speaker 12: punishment that he deserves here in this case.
- 28:56Speaker 2: His background.
- 28:58Speaker 3: His recent history is pretty interesting and perplexing. Really where
- 29:05Speaker 3: he got the funds from to do some of the
- 29:07Speaker 3: things he was doing when he didn't seem to have
- 29:09Speaker 3: any sort of meaningful employment for a period of time.
- 29:14Speaker 3: Have you found out anything more about that or we're
- 29:17Speaker 3: hopefully going to get some understanding during the trial.
- 29:21Speaker 1: Hopefully we'll get it from the trial. I think that's
- 29:23Speaker 1: the thing.
- 29:23Speaker 12: I think people are scratching their heads as to exactly
- 29:26Speaker 12: how we found the means, how we have the resources
- 29:28Speaker 12: to do this, but also to what drove him.
- 29:30Speaker 1: To do it. You know, he's a very erratic and
- 29:32Speaker 1: irate person.
- 29:34Speaker 12: You know, some are saying mental illness, but I think
- 29:36Speaker 12: that there is a deep desire to learn more about
- 29:39Speaker 12: him and what his motivations were and what his motive was,
- 29:41Speaker 12: and so hopefully we will get those answers. But I
- 29:44Speaker 12: think unfortunately now details are quite scant.
- 29:49Speaker 3: Well, we know next to nothing about the Butler attempted
- 29:53Speaker 3: assassin who was killed after his assassination attempt against Donald
- 29:59Speaker 3: tr And it's incredible how little we know about that
- 30:02Speaker 3: particular individual. Now, good news for Donald Trump and Millennia.
- 30:07Speaker 3: Baron is moving back into the White House and CJ.
- 30:11Speaker 3: Barron was invaluable for the Trump camp in helping formulate
- 30:16Speaker 3: the strategy to reach young men.
- 30:18Speaker 2: He really, I think.
- 30:19Speaker 3: Served a very important role throughout the election campaign.
- 30:23Speaker 2: He encouraged President Trump.
- 30:25Speaker 3: To go on podcasts of popular personalities some of the
- 30:29Speaker 3: President had never heard of before Baron's intervention. And it's
- 30:33Speaker 3: worth noting this horrible murder we spoke about in North
- 30:36Speaker 3: Carolina would have been on the President's radar much earlier
- 30:41Speaker 3: if barn was around, because the President learnt about it
- 30:46Speaker 3: twenty four to forty eight hours after it really went
- 30:49Speaker 3: viral on x and other social media platforms.
- 30:54Speaker 12: You know, It's yeah, we love having Baron here in DC,
- 30:58Speaker 12: and we love to see that he's going to be
- 31:00Speaker 12: the White House. And I'll tell you, this is a
- 31:02Speaker 12: guy who has his figure on the pulse of everything
- 31:04Speaker 12: that's going on, and so I think he's going to
- 31:06Speaker 12: be an invaluable advisor to his father as he navigates,
- 31:09Speaker 12: of course, the upcoming years of his presidency. And as
- 31:12Speaker 12: you point out, he was an integral peace eye to
- 31:14Speaker 12: his return to the White House, and so I will
- 31:17Speaker 12: continue to serve that incredible role. But you know, again,
- 31:20Speaker 12: I think what the President is really leaning on right now,
- 31:23Speaker 12: is doing all that he can to you get information
- 31:26Speaker 12: from wherever he can, but also to act on it effectively.
- 31:30Speaker 12: And already I think he's taking action to ensure that
- 31:32Speaker 12: what happened in Charlotte never happens again. And God bless
- 31:35Speaker 12: him for it, because there is no reason that should
- 31:38Speaker 12: happen in a civil and polite society at all anywhere
- 31:41Speaker 12: in this country.
- 31:44Speaker 3: Well, let's just hope the law and order crackdown that
- 31:47Speaker 3: we're hopefully going to see in America's big cities really
- 31:50Speaker 3: see some meaningful long term change, because they have just
- 31:54Speaker 3: deteriorated so much. And even as a tourist who goes
- 31:58Speaker 3: to the US very regularly, you can see that decay
- 32:01Speaker 3: each time you visit. Those big cities seem to be
- 32:04Speaker 3: a little worse now, CJ. We covered the baseball Karen's.
- 32:08Speaker 2: Story earlier in the week, the woman.
- 32:11Speaker 3: Who became among the most despised on the internet for
- 32:14Speaker 3: about twenty four hours after brating a father and son
- 32:19Speaker 3: for taking a home run baseball she somehow thought belonged
- 32:22Speaker 3: to her. She did get the baseball given to her well,
- 32:26Speaker 3: the father in that viral footage, Drew felt Well wants
- 32:30Speaker 3: people to leave her alone and not try to.
- 32:33Speaker 2: Get her fired. He said, CJ.
- 32:36Speaker 3: The internet has already messed her up pretty good.
- 32:40Speaker 2: He's not wrong there.
- 32:43Speaker 12: No, he's not wrong. But I will tell you, really,
- 32:45Speaker 12: he is a better man than me, because I guarantee
- 32:47Speaker 12: you I would have kept the ball and I would
- 32:50Speaker 12: have said keep going.
- 32:51Speaker 1: So he you know, I don't know. Maybe he is
- 32:54Speaker 1: a better man than me. I'll leave it at that.
- 32:58Speaker 3: Well, yeah, this is obviously a very charitable person. But
- 33:01Speaker 3: I'm going to get your opinion on this because then
- 33:04Speaker 3: we did get a bit of blowback earlier in the
- 33:07Speaker 3: Weeke when discussing this, because I thought his moved to
- 33:11Speaker 3: give the ball to her, to give into the bullying
- 33:14Speaker 3: in front of his son, was a poor move.
- 33:17Speaker 2: He should have stood his ground.
- 33:19Speaker 3: She had absolutely no right to demand that ball, and
- 33:23Speaker 3: I think just because it happened in front of his son,
- 33:25Speaker 3: it left a bad taste in my mouth. People said
- 33:27Speaker 3: that was a bit harsh. What's your take on this?
- 33:32Speaker 3: Do you think he did the right thing in the
- 33:35Speaker 3: moment in giving that ball back?
- 33:37Speaker 12: Well, Riad, I guess we're going to have to hate
- 33:39Speaker 12: both you and me because I.
- 33:43Speaker 1: Think you should have kept that ball.
- 33:44Speaker 12: I think he should have. I don't understand why he
- 33:48Speaker 12: gave it back, you know. I think I saw an
- 33:49Speaker 12: argument online where it was basically that, you know, it
- 33:52Speaker 12: just goes to show sometimes you can't give people, you know,
- 33:55Speaker 12: the attention of the time of day. I think that
- 33:58Speaker 12: you also have to show your son when to say
- 33:59Speaker 12: it on business and not for a lent in the
- 34:01Speaker 12: face of someone who is just being unreasonable and absolutely
- 34:04Speaker 12: crazy and seene and that is what I saw in
- 34:07Speaker 12: that video, and so I wish you would have kept
- 34:09Speaker 12: that ball, you know, and I think as.
- 34:11Speaker 1: Somewhat of appreciated.
- 34:12Speaker 12: But you know, of course, everyone has their own parenting
- 34:14Speaker 12: style and I'll leave that to him.
- 34:18Speaker 2: Yep, sometimes you've got to stand on business. CJ. Pearson,
- 34:22Speaker 2: thank you so much for your time tonight.
- 34:24Speaker 1: Thanks so much.
- 34:25Speaker 2: Still to come, we.
- 34:26Speaker 3: Look at Wikipedia's corruption of information. Investigative journalists Ashley Rinsberg
- 34:32Speaker 3: has the details. Welcome back now, My next guest has
- 34:46Speaker 3: highlighted the steady decline of Wikipedia as a trusted news
- 34:50Speaker 3: source for the general public.
- 34:51Speaker 2: Small cells of.
- 34:53Speaker 3: Bad faith editors have hijacked entire topic areas and are
- 34:57Speaker 3: using Wikipedia to put biased information into platforms like Google, Chat, JPT, Gemini, Alexa,
- 35:04Speaker 3: and Siri. Joining me now is editor and Chief investigative
- 35:08Speaker 3: Officer for Neutral POV Ashley Rinsberg.
- 35:11Speaker 2: Ashley, you say Wikipedia's.
- 35:14Speaker 3: Corruption of information has reached crisis levels.
- 35:18Speaker 2: Explain just how bad this is.
- 35:22Speaker 14: Yeah, that's exactly the case, Rita. What we're seeing is
- 35:25Speaker 14: that bad faith actors, and that can include anyone from
- 35:28Speaker 14: state propagandists to foreign terror organizations to hit business interests,
- 35:32Speaker 14: have learned that Wikipedia can be hijacked. They can take
- 35:36Speaker 14: clusters of two or three or four editors who can
- 35:39Speaker 14: capture an article or even an entire topic area on
- 35:43Speaker 14: political area like American politics, Australian politics, or pharmaceuticals, and
- 35:49Speaker 14: they can radically alter it to suit their own agenda.
- 35:53Speaker 14: That's a problem because, as you mentioned, this is the
- 35:57Speaker 14: material that feeds AI, It feeds Chat, GPT, Gemini, Siri, Alexa,
- 36:02Speaker 14: and of course Google. So the information we're getting downstream
- 36:05Speaker 14: has been perverted and corrupted by these bad faith actors.
- 36:12Speaker 3: Now, these ideological players, these ideological editors. How many are
- 36:18Speaker 3: we talking about, how many actually have control over Wikipedia?
- 36:22Speaker 3: And where they're coming from. You've mentioned some can be
- 36:25Speaker 3: from the corporate world, some maybe from activist groups, even
- 36:30Speaker 3: terror groups. But do we have an idea of the
- 36:32Speaker 3: countries they're coming from and just how many there are.
- 36:37Speaker 14: It's extremely hard to know who they are and what
- 36:41Speaker 14: they're really about. And that's part of the problem. Because
- 36:43Speaker 14: they're anonymous. They don't even need to register their username
- 36:47Speaker 14: on Wikipedia. They can just use their IP address, so
- 36:50Speaker 14: it doesn't take very much for someone to conceal their
- 36:53Speaker 14: agenda on Wikipedia. It's sort of designed for that purpose.
- 36:57Speaker 14: In one case, we know that the gang of four
- 37:00Speaker 14: editors who are sort of pro Palestine, anti Israel in
- 37:03Speaker 14: some cases pro Hamas are three of them are at
- 37:06Speaker 14: least from at least three of them are from Australia,
- 37:09Speaker 14: others from around the world, and they have radically altered
- 37:12Speaker 14: the entire landscape on Wikipedia on the Israel Palestine conflict.
- 37:19Speaker 3: Now, tell me about the relationship between Wikipedia and these
- 37:24Speaker 3: AI platforms.
- 37:26Speaker 2: What feeds?
- 37:27Speaker 3: What is Wikipedia relying on AI or vice versa.
- 37:34Speaker 14: AI is relying on Wikipedia to an alarming degree, and
- 37:37Speaker 14: that's because the Wikipedia data is very structured, it's very
- 37:41Speaker 14: sort of regulated in a technical sense, and best of all,
- 37:44Speaker 14: it's free, so these sites can get all this free
- 37:47Speaker 14: data and they can populate their AI, they train on it,
- 37:50Speaker 14: and that's basically every frontier AI model trains heavily on Wikipedia.
- 37:55Speaker 14: And they also pull Wikipedia data for reference purposes. So
- 37:59Speaker 14: when you ask a question on chat gipt about some topic,
- 38:03Speaker 14: in many, many cases, and this is to a disproportionate extent,
- 38:07Speaker 14: they're directly pulling that information from Wikipedia. And that could
- 38:10Speaker 14: be from an article or topic area that has been hijacked,
- 38:13Speaker 14: hijacked or corrupted by one of these edit gangs.
- 38:19Speaker 3: Now, Ashley, we've been speaking all week about the horrific
- 38:22Speaker 3: stabbing of a Ukrainian refugee in North Carolina and the
- 38:25Speaker 3: media's failure to properly cover that story. One of your
- 38:29Speaker 3: tweets about this when viral had millions of views and
- 38:33Speaker 3: you showed a Wikipedia article about the murder and how
- 38:37Speaker 3: was nominated for deletion. There was a warning there saying
- 38:41Speaker 3: it may not meet Wikipedia's general notability guidelines. Explain that
- 38:48Speaker 3: to me, how does that work?
- 38:50Speaker 14: Wikipedia has a policy that things should be notable so
- 38:54Speaker 14: that they can meet the threshold of being inside of
- 38:57Speaker 14: an encyclopedia, not just a news story. In this case,
- 39:00Speaker 14: this was an important event. It had already been in
- 39:03Speaker 14: the news for many weeks, and still Wikipedia editors wanted
- 39:07Speaker 14: to keep it off of the site because they didn't
- 39:09Speaker 14: like the politics of it, they didn't like the optics
- 39:12Speaker 14: of it, it didn't agree with their own ideology. So
- 39:14Speaker 14: they took a very simple step. And again, this is
- 39:16Speaker 14: only two, three or four experienced veteran editors who can
- 39:20Speaker 14: pull this kind of thing off very easily. It's only
- 39:23Speaker 14: because people started to notice that this effort was defeated.
- 39:27Speaker 14: And yet still these same editors fought very hard and
- 39:31Speaker 14: successfully to keep the name of the suspect off of
- 39:35Speaker 14: that article. And there is currently no mention of the
- 39:38Speaker 14: suspect's name on the article, as if for his own privacy.
- 39:43Speaker 3: Even now, there's no even when we've had that the
- 39:46Speaker 3: President speak about this issue, it's become such.
- 39:49Speaker 2: A media scandal.
- 39:50Speaker 3: The media's rolling really not probably covering this story, has
- 39:54Speaker 3: become part of this story. And still Wikipedia doesn't have
- 39:58Speaker 3: a key bit of information, which is who And we
- 40:01Speaker 3: can't even call him a suspect because it's literally on
- 40:04Speaker 3: video murdering this girl. There's no alleged here, Yes.
- 40:09Speaker 14: That's right, And still today no mention where we see
- 40:12Speaker 14: in a counter example, when the Kenosha shootings, the BLM
- 40:16Speaker 14: shootings and Kyle Rittenhouse was accused of murder. He was
- 40:21Speaker 14: a miner at the time, and Wikipedia had an article
- 40:23Speaker 14: about those shootings where they mentioned written House fifty times
- 40:27Speaker 14: in a single article. There was no scruples about including
- 40:30Speaker 14: his name, and it was some of the same editors
- 40:33Speaker 14: who were fighting to keep this suspect's name in this
- 40:35Speaker 14: case off the article who made no mention of the
- 40:38Speaker 14: fact that Kyle Rittenhouse was being accused in this article
- 40:42Speaker 14: of a crime and his name was being exposed despite
- 40:45Speaker 14: him being a miner at the time.
- 40:49Speaker 3: Now you saying Wikipedia is worse because I've never trusted Wikipedia.
- 40:55Speaker 3: I've always seen it with the leftist lant it has
- 40:59Speaker 3: and in some cases that leftist slant is more extreme,
- 41:01Speaker 3: in other cases it's a little bit more subtle, but
- 41:04Speaker 3: it's never been trustworthy in my eyes. Are you saying
- 41:07Speaker 3: it's getting worse or it's just something that we should
- 41:10Speaker 3: be aware of and not trust.
- 41:13Speaker 14: It's getting worse, and the reason is because more and
- 41:16Speaker 14: more people, more of these groups are waking up to
- 41:18Speaker 14: the fact of its extreme influence online and in our lives.
- 41:22Speaker 14: On AI, on Google, everything we discussed, and they're understanding
- 41:26Speaker 14: how easy it is to break in to hijack these articles.
- 41:31Speaker 14: So it's become, yes, exactly, to manipulate it and become
- 41:34Speaker 14: this backdoor of vulnerability into the entire information ecosystem. The
- 41:39Speaker 14: foundation in charge of Wikipedia has done very little, in
- 41:42Speaker 14: some cases nothing about this, because they too have been captured.
- 41:45Speaker 14: This is something that happened in twenty seventeen. They're captured
- 41:48Speaker 14: where actually of Hillary Clinton.
- 41:51Speaker 2: We will have to we will have to get you
- 41:53Speaker 2: back home.
- 41:54Speaker 3: We've run out of time, but this is just such
- 41:55Speaker 3: an important issue. Ashley Rinsberg, thank you so much for
- 41:58Speaker 3: your time tonight, and that it from me.
- 42:01Speaker 2: Up next, It's Newsnight.
- 42:03Speaker 3: I'll see you tomorrow at eleven pm.
