  Speaker 4: Energy, the Energy.
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: Okay, But first the election is close and the.
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: Prime Minister is on a charm offensive.
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: He was on the front pages of the newspapers to day,
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: The Herald Sun, Daily Telegraph with fiance Jody talking about
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: his marriage plans. It's a bit of a puff piece.
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: It included details about a possible outdoor wedding and the
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: role the couple's dog may play on the day. The
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: media blitz comes days after the couple posted this now
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: infamous val Valentine's Day video on Instagram. Jody we now
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: for more on this. Sky News contributors pro McSween and
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: Gary Hardgrave Gary, We've had our first interest rate cut
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: in more than four years. We're hearing about outdoor weddings
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: and dogs.
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: An election isn't far away.
• 1:57
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm waiting for a close up shot of the
• 2:00
  Speaker 5: covertal corsage.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: You know it's coming.
• 2:04
  Speaker 5: Reader, Look anything other than the reality that an interest
• 2:08
  Speaker 5: rate cut is not going to solve the everyday problems
• 2:11
  Speaker 5: of people paying more for everything. You know, they might
• 2:15
  Speaker 5: give you zero point two five percent reduction in about
• 2:19
  Speaker 5: ten days or a fortnight after the banks have made
• 2:21
  Speaker 5: tens of millions of dollars.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: But let's face it, for a lot of every.
• 2:24
  Speaker 5: Day Australians, the price of fuel just went up. You know,
• 2:28
  Speaker 5: the price of electricity is going up constantly.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: The price of.
• 2:30
  Speaker 5: Electricity keeps increasing at such a rate, and not that
• 2:34
  Speaker 5: knots that nobody actually can keep up with the increasing costs,
• 2:39
  Speaker 5: and it's killing industry.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: And I think that's the reality.
• 2:42
  Speaker 5: So Albo says, you know, never mind the quality, feel
• 2:45
  Speaker 5: the width, this is this is a pe under a
• 2:49
  Speaker 5: shell game going on here, and I don't think Australia
• 2:51
  Speaker 5: is going to fall for it. It's you know what, Frankly,
• 2:53
  Speaker 5: a lot of people can't afford the kind of intimate,
• 2:56
  Speaker 5: covertle corsage wedding that he's talking about. So I think
• 3:01
  Speaker 5: a lot of people have tuned right out. It's going
• 3:04
  Speaker 5: to take a lot more charm to get a you know,
• 3:06
  Speaker 5: ticked from me.
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: I can assure you, well, pray, what do you make
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: of the charm offensive? The media bleedzer Obviously they've had
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: some sort of focus group data coming in telling them
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: that well, Jodie is a good look for the PM.
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: The more we see of her, the more we think
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: of him. Is this going to be a boost for
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: the Prime minister and for the Labor Party coming up?
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: Or we're going to be weeks away now from an
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: election date.
• 3:38
  Speaker 6: Well, it's so predictable, you know, wheel out the little
• 3:40
  Speaker 6: missus or the little missus to be and you know
• 3:44
  Speaker 6: all the you know, the old old ladies might think
• 3:47
  Speaker 6: it's so sweet. Look the Women's Weekly, you know the
• 3:51
  Speaker 6: media today, nothing's going to save him. This is the
• 3:56
  Speaker 6: point that Gary was making that we're so focused on
• 3:59
  Speaker 6: just staying alive, basically economically alive, being able to put
• 4:04
  Speaker 6: food on our table and pay our mortgage or rent,
• 4:07
  Speaker 6: that you know, he can will out as much charm
• 4:10
  Speaker 6: as he likes, and it is offensive. That's what I
• 4:14
  Speaker 6: find when he's talking about and timing his wedding, you know,
• 4:22
  Speaker 6: announcement and the intimate details to soften us up. Oh well,
• 4:26
  Speaker 6: he's really a nice guy. Well, he may be a
• 4:28
  Speaker 6: nice guy, although I'm yet to appreciate that, but you know,
• 4:32
  Speaker 6: he's incompetent and he's basically you know, the nuptials that
• 4:38
  Speaker 6: he's proposing will not work out for him with the
• 4:41
  Speaker 6: Australian public and the Australian voter.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: I believe.
• 4:45
  Speaker 6: I think it'll be a know at the altar of
• 4:47
  Speaker 6: the voting booth, and let's hope it is.
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: Oh yes, we've alould prefer competence over niceness.
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: About to pick between the two.
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: Now, company directors shareholder groups are at war with Australia.
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: It's four trillion dollars superanuation.
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: Industry over corporate diversity guidelines. The nineteen members of the
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: ASX Corporate Governance Council were asked last week to vote
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: on a new set of corporate governance principles, which could
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: have resulted in company directors needing to disclose their sexual
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: orientation and even their religious beliefs.
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: Now it's the.
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: Association of Superannuation Funds of Australia that's pushing for these
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: diversity reforms.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: But it's good to see business leaders.
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: Including the likes of John Wiley, calling for an end
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: to this sort of debate. He said, I personally think
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: it's a gross invasion of people's personal privacy to have
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: to disclose their sexual identity when it comes to eligibility
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: for board positions. And mister Wiley also told the Australia
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: And what is the relevance to corporate performance and the
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: suitability of sitting on a board?
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: Very good question there.
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: Through the ASX Council is now set to drop its
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: push for these diversity reforms for the time being. Anyway,
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: there's no consensus even amongst those council members. But isn't
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: it good to finally have some corporates taking a stand
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: against this sort of insanity.
• 6:23
  Speaker 6: Well, they've been so limp and weak up till now,
• 6:25
  Speaker 6: you know, following this whole energy debarcle, and you know,
• 6:30
  Speaker 6: so scared that they're going to be whipped by the
• 6:32
  Speaker 6: government if they don't support them, even though it's against
• 6:36
  Speaker 6: their principles. In this case, I suppose they feel empowered
• 6:40
  Speaker 6: because Trump's rubbish DEI. And we're seeing also examples with
• 6:46
  Speaker 6: you know, with Woolworths, what happened to them when they
• 6:50
  Speaker 6: went woke, But like Disney, all these profits that are
• 6:55
  Speaker 6: going down the toilet and the branding impacts that it's having.
• 7:01
  Speaker 6: I don't care what the sexuality of a board member is,
• 7:06
  Speaker 6: whether they're indigenous, if they're disiabled, you know, all these
• 7:10
  Speaker 6: ridiculous imposts they're wanting them now to impose on them
• 7:14
  Speaker 6: or proposing to impose on them, impose on them.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: I want to know that.
• 7:18
  Speaker 6: The people in boards are actually worrying about delivering a
• 7:22
  Speaker 6: profit to shareholders, that they have proper corporate guidance and
• 7:27
  Speaker 6: they have the expertise to be able to give this guidance.
• 7:31
  Speaker 6: And that's all you worry about if you're either an
• 7:34
  Speaker 6: investor or you're a customer of these companies, and to
• 7:37
  Speaker 6: have the superation mob.
• 7:40
  Speaker 7: Wanting to take a stand.
• 7:42
  Speaker 6: I would say that a lot of the superannuation people
• 7:46
  Speaker 6: they represent are older people who would be horrified to
• 7:49
  Speaker 6: think that this is going to be posed on board members.
• 7:55
  Speaker 7: It is gary.
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: The industry super funds are behind so much of this
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: far left ideology that we're seeing adopted in the corporate world,
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: even pushed by the corporate world but pre touched on
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: Donald Trump's policies is cut DEI programs, diversity, equity inclusion,
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: and it's seen a massive shift in the debate even
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: in Australia.
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, and thank heavens for Donald J. Trump.
• 8:24
  Speaker 5: But you know, DEI is an anagram of DEE, which
• 8:27
  Speaker 5: is what's happening to a lot of companies who are
• 8:29
  Speaker 5: held bent.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: On box ticking.
• 8:31
  Speaker 5: And you know, these industry super funds, they've completely begged
• 8:34
  Speaker 5: up the power generating investment regime in Australia. They're the
• 8:38
  Speaker 5: ones that are behind the wind farms. They're the ones
• 8:40
  Speaker 5: that are behind and I shouldn't call them wind farms
• 8:41
  Speaker 5: because they're industrial installations. Are the wind turbines and the
• 8:46
  Speaker 5: solar panels. These are the people who are driving your
• 8:48
  Speaker 5: electricity prices up, your superannuation funds. The industry funds are
• 8:53
  Speaker 5: helping to drive up the price of electricity. They load
• 8:57
  Speaker 5: them up with lefties and they expect the world to
• 8:59
  Speaker 5: con Look. I think you just need competence. I'm a
• 9:03
  Speaker 5: company director, I'm said on a couple of different organizations,
• 9:07
  Speaker 5: and what we hire is competence. If you keep putting
• 9:10
  Speaker 5: people into boxes rita that you have to tick and
• 9:12
  Speaker 5: say I've got one of them, I've got one of
• 9:14
  Speaker 5: those things, we're not building Noah's ark. I mean, heavens above,
• 9:17
  Speaker 5: look at me. I can't get any whiter than I am.
• 9:21
  Speaker 5: I can't be any more male than I am. I
• 9:23
  Speaker 5: don't think I'm as alpha as some others. But I'm
• 9:26
  Speaker 5: just saying I'm a bloke. I'm an older bloke, I'm white. Heavens,
• 9:31
  Speaker 5: I'm completely bigger, aren't I? Under this regime?
• 9:34
  Speaker 7: So you are?
• 9:36
  Speaker 5: You are the problem on competence, not on They got
• 9:40
  Speaker 5: to hire on competence, not on identity.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: This is crazy, and yet I've got a problem.
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: I get to know, Well, yes, you don't tick any boxes. Gary,
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: You're white, you're male, your privilege, your heteronormative able body Duman. Yeah,
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: it's downhill for you now. Before you two go, ask
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: you about the Queensland government being warned that its decision
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: to pause cross sex hormones for children for children, mind you,
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: could result in a tsunami of court cases being brought
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: against it. A group of high profile mental health experts, scientists,
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: churches and lawyers have written to Premier Christa Fooley and
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: they're saying that this pause may be in contravention of
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: Queensland's Human Rights Act. Really, Gary, this pause came about
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: after it was discovered that children at Ken's Sexual Health
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: Clinic had been given puberty blockers cross sex hormones without
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: either the required specialist input or parents' permission. Can you
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: believe the activism that's coming from these characters, From Patrick mcgruorie,
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: who I would have expected more from, and even church groups.
• 10:57
  Speaker 5: And the Human Rights Act in Queensland is obviously written
• 11:00
  Speaker 5: by the extreme left who were in power to write
• 11:03
  Speaker 5: this act for a start, So they're using a tool. Look,
• 11:05
  Speaker 5: I think in so many ways these people are part
• 11:08
  Speaker 5: of an industry that's heavily get around. Frankly, you're turning
• 11:12
  Speaker 5: our children into elaborates, turning our kids into a great experiment.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: Let's see, they think they're this, so let's do that
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: to them. You can't do that.
• 11:20
  Speaker 5: I think kids, people, individuals are able to make their
• 11:23
  Speaker 5: own decision.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: It's such a small percentage of people.
• 11:25
  Speaker 5: They obviously clearly have some trauma, mental trauma in their
• 11:29
  Speaker 5: mind about who they are and what they are. But
• 11:31
  Speaker 5: these doctors and church groups are just looking for victims.
• 11:35
  Speaker 5: They're victim farming with this, and the mere fact they're
• 11:38
  Speaker 5: raising this means they're not reading the room. So they
• 11:41
  Speaker 5: look like they're clever, but they're pretty stupid.
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and they're ignoring the best research that has been
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: done in this area. You only have to look at
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: what we've seen in the UK and Scandinavia, what we're doing.
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: If you want to talk about a tsunami of court cases,
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: it's probably going to come from people who've been irreversibly
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: damaged by these drugs and treatments and irreversible surgeries. That's
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: where the tsunami of court cases is going to come from.
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: Prim Ex Sween, Gary Hardgrove, thank you so much for
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: your time tonight.
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: Joining me now is Sky News Northern Australia correspondent Matt Cunningham. Matt,
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: you've reported some alarming statistics out of the NT this week,
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: school attendance rates amongst Indigenous students in the territory have
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: fallen to just fifty five point two percent, with many
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: children attending schools so infrequently that more than sixteen hundred
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: of them have been removed from the official attendance roles altogether.
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: Matt, how much has the.
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: Attendance rate for Indigenous children fallen in the NT and
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: how does it compare for other students for non Indigenous students.
• 12:52
  Speaker 8: Well, when it comes to Aboriginal students, read, the drop
• 12:55
  Speaker 8: off is fairly alarming. So this Education Department data we've
• 12:59
  Speaker 8: managed to this week shows that if you go back
• 13:01
  Speaker 8: to twenty sixteen, they're about sixty seven percent of Aboriginal
• 13:06
  Speaker 8: children who were attending school. And by attending that means
• 13:10
  Speaker 8: attending on average at least four days per week, So
• 13:13
  Speaker 8: sixty seven percent back in twenty sixteen.
• 13:16
  Speaker 7: But by twenty twenty.
• 13:17
  Speaker 8: Four that number, according to the latest data, has fallen
• 13:20
  Speaker 8: to fifty five point two percent. Now the real number,
• 13:24
  Speaker 8: if you can believe it, Riada is actually significantly worse.
• 13:27
  Speaker 8: The other thing we've uncovered is that they have a
• 13:30
  Speaker 8: thing here in the Northern Territory called an intensive support role.
• 13:33
  Speaker 8: It basically means that if a child doesn't attend school
• 13:36
  Speaker 8: for twenty days, they're taken off the official role, they're
• 13:38
  Speaker 8: removed from the official attendance data and they're placed on
• 13:42
  Speaker 8: this intensive support role. The idea is that they get
• 13:45
  Speaker 8: extra wraparound services to get the kid to school, but
• 13:48
  Speaker 8: it also means they're not being included in the actual data.
• 13:51
  Speaker 8: So when you take that data into account, you're looking
• 13:53
  Speaker 8: at basically one in every two Aboriginal children in the
• 13:57
  Speaker 8: Northern Territory are basically not going to school.
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 14:01
  Speaker 8: Over the same period, there has been a slight drop
• 14:03
  Speaker 8: off when it comes to non Indigenous kids. The rate
• 14:06
  Speaker 8: was at about eighty nine percent eight years ago. It's
• 14:08
  Speaker 8: at eighty five percent now, so probably a worrying fall
• 14:12
  Speaker 8: off there, to be honest, but nothing compared to what
• 14:15
  Speaker 8: we're seeing go on with Aboriginal children. The new government
• 14:19
  Speaker 8: here is taking a hardline approach. They've introduced truancy officers.
• 14:23
  Speaker 8: They brought in fies to three hundred and seventy dollars
• 14:25
  Speaker 8: for parents who don't send their kids to school. So
• 14:28
  Speaker 8: obviously they're trying to take the big stick approach to
• 14:31
  Speaker 8: try and get a different outcome.
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: Well, the way they count those stats, it almost is
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: designed to hide how bad the situation is, because you're
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: removing the students who are most likely to be truant
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: from the equation, and that just seems a silly way
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: to be presenting statistics. You're actually worried about fixing the problem.
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: And I do wonder if one of the possible reasons
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: attendance rates in the nt are lower than the rest
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: of the country is the level of violence.
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: At some schools.
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: There's been a spate of school yard bashings at Catherine
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: High School, which has been described has been uglier.
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: Than many street fights.
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: Traumatized parents have told the nten user they are fearful
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: and keeping their kids at home. One parent said, I
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: fear it is only a matter of time before someone dies.
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: How widespread is this problem, Matt, And why aren't authorities
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: cracking down on the thugs?
• 15:34
  Speaker 8: Well, I think that it's clearly an issue at Catherine
• 15:37
  Speaker 8: High School, and those videos that have been published absolutely horrific.
• 15:43
  Speaker 8: And I think that description is right that when it
• 15:46
  Speaker 8: says in many ways they're worse than street rules, and
• 15:49
  Speaker 8: the fact that this is happening in the school yard
• 15:51
  Speaker 8: or on school buses is absolutely appalling. I don't have
• 15:56
  Speaker 8: any specific evidence that it's more widespread than Catherine. I
• 15:59
  Speaker 8: think there've been issues at schools in Darwin that you know,
• 16:01
  Speaker 8: I'm certainly aware of over the years. I don't know
• 16:05
  Speaker 8: how significant it is when it comes to Indigenous attendance rates.
• 16:10
  Speaker 8: From the videos I've seen in Catherine, a lot of
• 16:12
  Speaker 8: the students involved in those fights appear to be non Indigenous,
• 16:17
  Speaker 8: so I don't know if there's a link there. I
• 16:19
  Speaker 8: think there are other reasons that we're seeing a lot
• 16:22
  Speaker 8: of Aboriginal children not attend school in the Northern Territory.
• 16:27
  Speaker 8: That they're many and varied, and they've been going on
• 16:29
  Speaker 8: for a long time. I mean, if you look at
• 16:31
  Speaker 8: the rates of alcohol abuse, you look at some of
• 16:33
  Speaker 8: the decisions made by government returning alcohol to town camps
• 16:36
  Speaker 8: in Alice Springs, an absolutely horrendous decision that had far
• 16:41
  Speaker 8: reaching impacts that I would suggest probably affected school attendance
• 16:44
  Speaker 8: as well. And you look at some of the domestic violence,
• 16:47
  Speaker 8: domestic and family violence rates across the Northern Territory and
• 16:52
  Speaker 8: particularly in some of those remote Aboriginal communities, that they
• 16:56
  Speaker 8: really are horrific. So I think that's probably driving those
• 16:58
  Speaker 8: Aboriginal school attends rates more than what we're seeing in Catherine.
• 17:02
  Speaker 8: But as you say, what we're seeing there in Catherine
• 17:04
  Speaker 8: at that school is shocking, But the Education Minister has
• 17:07
  Speaker 8: said she wants to crack down on it, so I
• 17:09
  Speaker 8: think we'll probably see some action there in the next
• 17:11
  Speaker 8: few days.
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: Staying in the NT, a horrific case of alleged domestic
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: violence in Darwin which has left a woman dead allegedly
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: at the hands of a partner with a long criminal
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: record who has been granted bail again and again despite
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: serious offending. And that this comes just days after a
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: mother of four in Alice Springs was allegedly killed at
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: the hands of her partner, who also has an extensive
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: criminal record. Are the courts doing enough here to protect
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: vulnerable women?
• 17:51
  Speaker 8: Well, I think there's an argument that they're not. Reader
• 17:54
  Speaker 8: This latest case in Darwin here this week is absolutely
• 17:57
  Speaker 8: horrific and I've spoken to police sources, so they are
• 18:01
  Speaker 8: just shocked and appalled by what has happened in this
• 18:04
  Speaker 8: particular circumstance. You're talking about a mother of three young
• 18:08
  Speaker 8: children here who was in a safe house in the
• 18:12
  Speaker 8: Top End to try to get protection from her violent
• 18:15
  Speaker 8: partner and now she's been killed. I mean, it's just
• 18:19
  Speaker 8: an absolutely tragic incident. Her father's a well known Territorian
• 18:24
  Speaker 8: who's worked for in Indigenous affairs for a long time,
• 18:27
  Speaker 8: a highly respected person here in the Northern Territory, and
• 18:31
  Speaker 8: the woman who was killed in this incident as well
• 18:33
  Speaker 8: as someone who has worked in the arts industry across
• 18:40
  Speaker 8: the Northern Territory. So you know, this is a tragic case. So,
• 18:43
  Speaker 8: as you mentioned, this is the second in nine days,
• 18:45
  Speaker 8: a woman killed in Alice Springs nine days ago. It's
• 18:47
  Speaker 8: the third this year, and I believe it's the twelfth
• 18:49
  Speaker 8: domestic violence death in the Northern Territory since June last year.
• 18:55
  Speaker 8: All of the victims in those cases are Aboriginal. This
• 18:58
  Speaker 8: is a shocking crisis that's going on in the Northern Territory.
• 19:01
  Speaker 8: We talked about those School of tendant's rates falling, Well,
• 19:03
  Speaker 8: I can tell you domestic violence rates not falling in
• 19:06
  Speaker 8: the Northern Territory. Domestic violence incidents in the Northern Territory
• 19:10
  Speaker 8: have risen eighty two percent in the last eight years.
• 19:14
  Speaker 8: That is a shocking statistic and overwhelmingly the victims in
• 19:18
  Speaker 8: these incidents, and I have to say, to be frank,
• 19:21
  Speaker 8: the perpetrators are Aboriginal. And people look at the prison
• 19:25
  Speaker 8: system up here and they say, why there's so many
• 19:27
  Speaker 8: people in prison. We've got more than two twenty seven
• 19:30
  Speaker 8: hundred people in prison here in the Northern Territory. I
• 19:32
  Speaker 8: can tell you that a large part, a large number
• 19:36
  Speaker 8: of those people are in prison for acts of domestic violence,
• 19:40
  Speaker 8: for violent acts committed against another Aboriginal person.
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: The amount of overrepresentation is shocking, and you called it
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: a crisis. It's precisely what it is. Indigenous women more
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: than thirty times likely to be hospitalized due to domestic
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: violence than non indigenous wa. It is I think our
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: greatest shame in this country, the fact that we don't
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: seem to be able to do anything about that. Matt,
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: what sort of programs, what's happening in the NT to
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: actually address these shocking rates of abuse.
• 20:17
  Speaker 8: Well, it's interesting because you know, every time one of
• 20:20
  Speaker 8: these horrific incidents happens, and we've seen a lot of
• 20:22
  Speaker 8: this recently, there are calls for more funding for services.
• 20:26
  Speaker 8: And there's no doubt that those services are required and
• 20:29
  Speaker 8: that that funding is required. But you know, there's a
• 20:33
  Speaker 8: lot of funding that gets directed in this area already,
• 20:36
  Speaker 8: and a lot of this funding goes basically to putting
• 20:39
  Speaker 8: the ambulance at the bottom of the cliff. I think
• 20:41
  Speaker 8: that more work needs to be done to try to
• 20:44
  Speaker 8: change the behavior of these men. In the first place.
• 20:47
  Speaker 8: There is a great program run up here. It's called
• 20:49
  Speaker 8: the No More Campaign. It's run by a man by
• 20:52
  Speaker 8: the name of Charlie King who for the past twenty
• 20:55
  Speaker 8: years has been trying to tell Indigenous men that they
• 20:58
  Speaker 8: need to stand up and take responsibility for their actions,
• 21:00
  Speaker 8: that they need to stop engaging in acts of family violence,
• 21:06
  Speaker 8: and that there need to be consequences for them if
• 21:09
  Speaker 8: they do. But at the moment, you know, he's sort
• 21:12
  Speaker 8: of a lone voice out there trying to change things,
• 21:15
  Speaker 8: and I think we need to see more of that.
• 21:16
  Speaker 8: We need to see more responsibility taken by absolutely these
• 21:21
  Speaker 8: people who are being the perpetrators of business.
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: Matt Cunningham, thank you so much for your time. Appreciated.
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: Thanks.
• 21:29
  Speaker 7: Rader, still to come.
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: The left is losing it.
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: Plus the latest from the US, including the growing romance
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: between the leader of the free world and the world's
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: richest man.
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: But Tijunga Sagon is up.
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: Next, Welcome back, and ow it's time for lefties losing it,
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: and we have more celebrities stepping up, eager to embarrass
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: themselves with lame attempts at polytical humor. Here is actor
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: and transactivist David Tennant taking a painfully funny shot at
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: President Trump. It's a little sad.
• 22:11
  Speaker 9: A film about incredible architecture. In fact, it's the baldest
• 22:14
  Speaker 9: architecture in film this year, apart from Donald Trump's Here
• 22:18
  Speaker 9: and The Apprentice Donald Trump, because he says he hasn't
• 22:21
  Speaker 9: seen The Apprentice, because it's a fifteen. It's not on Nickelodeon.
• 22:29
  Speaker 9: See Donald Trump. I've said his name three times. It's
• 22:32
  Speaker 9: like beetlejuice of summoned and talking of villains.
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: Yes, about as funny as an ingrowing tone.
• 22:48
  Speaker 10: Awl.
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: And did you see at the end there who was
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: clapping away at that embarrassingly bad joke.
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: It's Mark Hamill. Trump, deranged Mark Hamill.
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: Who actually gave us the biggest laugh the height when
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: his pants fell down on stage.
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: This wasn't a skit.
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: This was Hamill looking like some deranged hobo desperately scrambling
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: to keep his pants on.
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: So what makes us love.
• 23:13
  Speaker 11: Cinema so much that we're all gathered here to celebrate tonight.
• 23:16
  Speaker 11: For me, it's a Films create world so vivid and
• 23:19
  Speaker 11: stories so powerful that we lose ourselves in them completely.
• 23:24
  Speaker 11: They create immersive, cinematic landscapes that feel alive, whether they're
• 23:28
  Speaker 11: sat here in London.
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: Now, that was funny, and it just proves that TEDS
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: is dangerous for your health. It makes you look like
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: a fool even when you're not talking about politics. And
• 23:38
  Speaker 3: Hamil is among the most afflicted with TEDS in Hollywood.
• 23:43
  Speaker 3: Remember these comments at the Democratic National Convention.
• 23:47
  Speaker 11: In the movies, I thought against make believe evil. We
• 23:51
  Speaker 11: were at a time in our history we were fighting
• 23:53
  Speaker 11: against real evil. So I beg you, please don't go
• 23:58
  Speaker 11: to the oor.
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: Inside real evil.
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: Concentrate on buying I don't know a belt and keeping
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: your trousers on, Hammel. Leave the politics to the grownups
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: who hysterical has been and talking about hysteria. It's time
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: to check in with the ladies of the view and
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: I'll be bringing you footage later of the ladies blaming
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: Trump for a delta plane crash in Canada. But here's
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: Whoopee and Joy having a little disagreement despite the fact
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: that I actually agree with each other.
• 24:30
  Speaker 7: There are two sides to being Italian.
• 24:32
  Speaker 12: You want to talk about the map, talk about da Vinci,
• 24:35
  Speaker 12: You want to talk about murders in Chicago.
• 24:37
  Speaker 7: Talk about Michaelangelo. So it's the same with every other group.
• 24:41
  Speaker 13: No, it's not why whycause we don't get the benefit
• 24:45
  Speaker 13: of all the That's why we have black history.
• 24:47
  Speaker 3: But everyone's so angry and they agree with each other.
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: I imagine if they actually disagreed. And here after Joey
• 24:56
  Speaker 3: Bejar makes some bizarre comments about eggs and planes. We
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: see Whoopee go on some mad tangent, and I don't
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: think even she knows precisely what she's trying to convey.
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: Yes, if you can work it out, by the way.
• 25:10
  Speaker 7: That crisis is supposed to come down, not in airplan.
• 25:12
  Speaker 13: Well let me let me let me say someplace that
• 25:15
  Speaker 13: could really use a lot of cutting, you know, Yeah, yeah.
• 25:22
  Speaker 7: Elon has very many what do you call it? Government?
• 25:27
  Speaker 7: Government contract?
• 25:29
  Speaker 13: I think because I don't remember. Maybe y'all heard it,
• 25:32
  Speaker 13: but I don't remember looking for an armored car and
• 25:36
  Speaker 13: I don't remember.
• 25:37
  Speaker 7: I don't I don't care what it looks like. I
• 25:40
  Speaker 7: don't remember asking for it. I don't know why I'm
• 25:42
  Speaker 7: paying for it. I want to know.
• 25:44
  Speaker 13: When did I say, hey, we need another agency.
• 25:48
  Speaker 7: Next to NASA.
• 25:49
  Speaker 13: So let's just so, when did we start paying for
• 25:53
  Speaker 13: his stock?
• 25:56
  Speaker 4: No?
• 25:56
  Speaker 7: No, you know that he's he's going to be cut.
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: Thanks for pet Now, I think we could all do
• 26:02
  Speaker 3: with a musical interlude. Here is a performer and transactivist
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: promoting they their energy and breastbinding.
• 26:13
  Speaker 4: The energy, the energy, energy, energy. This is a public
• 26:30
  Speaker 4: service announcement. Anyone dressers outfit.
• 26:35
  Speaker 13: This is a swim friend that you receive your show
• 26:40
  Speaker 13: off your binder.
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: I'm not sure the binding is working, love, but good luck.
• 26:47
  Speaker 7: You know what the.
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: Left is really need.
• 26:49
  Speaker 7: They are so lost.
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: What they really need is some sage words.
• 26:52
  Speaker 3: Of advice, and who better to deliver it than Senator
• 26:56
  Speaker 3: John Kennedy from the Great State of Louisiana.
• 26:59
  Speaker 14: I've got a lot of friends Democrats, and they want
• 27:01
  Speaker 14: to ask me for advice.
• 27:02
  Speaker 9: But if I did, I'd tell them, look, you just
• 27:04
  Speaker 9: got to try harder not to shock.
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: I mean, think about.
• 27:09
  Speaker 3: It, and there'll be plenty more left these losing it
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: content with My next guest and joining me now is
• 27:15
  Speaker 3: journalist Batiya Unga Sagon. But tire, let's start with the
• 27:19
  Speaker 3: beautiful bromance between the world's most powerful man and the
• 27:23
  Speaker 3: world's richest man who is working for free in President
• 27:28
  Speaker 3: Trump's team at the moment. Here is Elon Musk with
• 27:30
  Speaker 3: the President describing the effects of TDS.
• 27:34
  Speaker 7: It is they call it like.
• 27:35
  Speaker 10: Trump duration syndrome, And you don't realize how real this
• 27:39
  Speaker 10: is until like it's you can't reason with people. So
• 27:42
  Speaker 10: like I was at a friend's birthday party and allegis
• 27:45
  Speaker 10: birthday dinner and it was like a nice quiet dinner
• 27:47
  Speaker 10: and everything was everyone was behaving normally, and they happen
• 27:50
  Speaker 10: to mention this is before the election, like a month
• 27:52
  Speaker 10: or two before I have to mention the president's name,
• 27:54
  Speaker 10: and it was like they got shot with a dart
• 27:56
  Speaker 10: in the juggular that contained like methamphetamine and rabies.
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: Okay, I'm like, maybea's attacks against Musk at the moment
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: and their desperation to drive a wedge between him and
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: the President. I've gotta say this is a taxa getting
• 28:17
  Speaker 3: increasingly desperate.
• 28:20
  Speaker 14: Yeah, it's amazing because they seem to have realized that
• 28:24
  Speaker 14: due to Donald Trump's immense popularity, which only keeps growing
• 28:29
  Speaker 14: as he keeps succeeding at all of the things he
• 28:32
  Speaker 14: promised he was going to do. Has meant that their
• 28:34
  Speaker 14: usual line of attack, you know, Orange Man Hitler, is
• 28:38
  Speaker 14: falling really flat. And so what they've tried to do
• 28:42
  Speaker 14: is simply change the object of their obsessive, insane hadred
• 28:47
  Speaker 14: from Donald Trump to Elon Musk. And unfortunately, there is
• 28:51
  Speaker 14: a lot that Musk is worthy of criticism over. There
• 28:55
  Speaker 14: are big potential conflicts of interest. This is a person
• 28:58
  Speaker 14: who is a defense contractor who is now investigating the
• 29:02
  Speaker 14: Department of Defense. He was himself investigated by the SEC.
• 29:06
  Speaker 14: He is now himself investigating the SEC. He met with Mody,
• 29:10
  Speaker 14: the Prime Minister of India. He's now hiring people in India.
• 29:14
  Speaker 14: There are a lot of problems here. Elon Musk is
• 29:16
  Speaker 14: incredibly close with China, which is the United States's greatest adversary.
• 29:21
  Speaker 14: Their conflict of interest everywhere you look. And yet because
• 29:26
  Speaker 14: the lefties are losing it Rita, nobody is talking about
• 29:30
  Speaker 14: the important things and instead they're out there just screaming
• 29:34
  Speaker 14: and shrieking and braying and doing the same exact stuff
• 29:39
  Speaker 14: they did to Trump, now they're doing it to Elon Musk.
• 29:43
  Speaker 3: You are so right, because there are meaningful discussions to
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: be had, investigations to be had about some of what
• 29:52
  Speaker 3: you just described. But no, they're going for the chape easy.
• 29:56
  Speaker 3: He It's just exactly the same tactics and having the
• 30:00
  Speaker 3: same impact. The people have just tuned out except for
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: that tiny audience.
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: Let's go to New York now, where.
• 30:07
  Speaker 3: Governor Kathy Hockel is considering sacking New York City Mayor
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: Eric Adams after four of his top deputies quit.
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: The governor said she would meet.
• 30:17
  Speaker 3: With key leaders in Manhattan for a conversation about the
• 30:20
  Speaker 3: path forward. And one of those key leaders appears to
• 30:24
  Speaker 3: be our Sharpton. But t, I'll get your take on
• 30:28
  Speaker 3: why the governor is consulting with a character like Sharpton
• 30:32
  Speaker 3: when making this important call. As for Mayor Adams, well,
• 30:37
  Speaker 3: he had this message for the media.
• 30:40
  Speaker 12: Running two questions from the press, running two questions from
• 30:46
  Speaker 12: the press, What are we lying about?
• 30:50
  Speaker 7: Exactly?
• 30:50
  Speaker 3: Because you're all liars, That's what he said.
• 30:53
  Speaker 13: There.
• 30:54
  Speaker 3: What's happening in New York and what would happen if
• 30:57
  Speaker 3: Governor Hokel does remove the pop elected may.
• 31:03
  Speaker 14: I'll tell you what's gonna happen. Andrew Cuomo will become
• 31:05
  Speaker 14: our next mayor because he said that if Eric Adams
• 31:09
  Speaker 14: hangs on, he's not going to enter the race. But
• 31:11
  Speaker 14: if she pulls Eric Adams, that leaves the lane wide open.
• 31:15
  Speaker 14: And Andrew Cuomo is very clearly, you know, lining up
• 31:18
  Speaker 14: his ducks for a may or a bit. At this point,
• 31:21
  Speaker 14: it seems like the reason she had Al Sharpton and
• 31:24
  Speaker 14: is because she wants to know is there going to
• 31:27
  Speaker 14: be a racial backlash to her, calling her racist if
• 31:31
  Speaker 14: she takes Eric Adams in tell and basically forces him
• 31:35
  Speaker 14: to resign. So she brings in the race Bader in
• 31:38
  Speaker 14: Chief Al Sharpton to say, are you going to cover
• 31:41
  Speaker 14: me if I do this? Or do I have to
• 31:43
  Speaker 14: worry about being sneered for, you know, getting rid of
• 31:47
  Speaker 14: Eric Adams. That's what you saw play out. There was
• 31:49
  Speaker 14: a classic scene of New York City politicking. It will
• 31:53
  Speaker 14: not be the last time that happens.
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: That is a pulling.
• 31:59
  Speaker 3: If it's that simple, and I think you one hundred
• 32:01
  Speaker 3: percent right, that is just appalling. Of course, the optics
• 32:05
  Speaker 3: are terrible, and if you're from the left side of politics,
• 32:08
  Speaker 3: and Kathy hokul Is and sorr Is mayor Adams. Those
• 32:13
  Speaker 3: accusations are going to come for you because that's the
• 32:16
  Speaker 3: game they play. Everything is seen through that racial filter. Now,
• 32:20
  Speaker 3: I want to ask about this fantastic piece you've written
• 32:24
  Speaker 3: on the entire Justin Baldoni, Blake Lively, the fake me
• 32:28
  Speaker 3: Too scandal. You've argued it signals the death of man
• 32:33
  Speaker 3: bun feminism. Explain to my audience what man bun feminism
• 32:38
  Speaker 3: is in the first place, and how did a man
• 32:41
  Speaker 3: who presented himself and Justin Baldoni is this man who
• 32:46
  Speaker 3: is this new age perfect male feminist. Ally he is
• 32:51
  Speaker 3: now suing a woman who's accused him of sexual harassment.
• 32:56
  Speaker 14: So you see the man bun there in full display
• 32:58
  Speaker 14: on your screen. Justin Baldoni literally wrote the book on
• 33:02
  Speaker 14: beta maildom. He wrote a book called Undefining My Masculinity
• 33:07
  Speaker 14: or something like that. He wrote another children's book called
• 33:10
  Speaker 14: Boys Will Be Humans. You know, his whole public persona
• 33:16
  Speaker 14: as a celebrity was an ally of women, and this
• 33:21
  Speaker 14: ended up being a key to his downfall here when
• 33:25
  Speaker 14: Blake Lively, sensing his weakness, started to bully him on
• 33:30
  Speaker 14: the set of his own film, demanding the right to
• 33:33
  Speaker 14: rewrite scenes, demanding the right to have her own edit
• 33:36
  Speaker 14: of the film, and then finally, when she was hit
• 33:40
  Speaker 14: with a ton of negative press when the film came
• 33:42
  Speaker 14: out for the way she was handling herself in some
• 33:44
  Speaker 14: old clips in which she was fat shaming a reporter.
• 33:48
  Speaker 14: She then argued that he had, you know, sexually harassed
• 33:53
  Speaker 14: her in an attempt to launder her image by becoming
• 33:58
  Speaker 14: the victim, she cast herself as the victim of a
• 34:01
  Speaker 14: me too scandal and cast him as the aggressor. Unfortunately,
• 34:06
  Speaker 14: a more beta male you couldn't have found. I mean,
• 34:09
  Speaker 14: he had all of the receipts showing that in every
• 34:12
  Speaker 14: interaction she had had the power and he hadn't. And
• 34:16
  Speaker 14: what I argue in the Free Press piece is that
• 34:19
  Speaker 14: basically this is not just the end of the Me
• 34:21
  Speaker 14: too movement, but it's the end of this kind of
• 34:24
  Speaker 14: man bum bun ally feminism, because what we really see here, Rita,
• 34:29
  Speaker 14: is that the problem with the Me too movement, the
• 34:32
  Speaker 14: problem with Believe all women, is that the relationship between
• 34:36
  Speaker 14: sexuality and power is very, very complicated. It cannot be
• 34:42
  Speaker 14: reduced to just who is the woman and who is
• 34:44
  Speaker 14: the man, and in this case, the man was the
• 34:48
  Speaker 14: one being bullied, the woman being the one bullying him.
• 34:51
  Speaker 14: And when that was revealed, she claimed the victor status
• 34:54
  Speaker 14: and it fell on its face.
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: It did.
• 34:59
  Speaker 3: It has been such a chamozzle for her. She should
• 35:02
  Speaker 3: have just helped, you know, God on holidays for two
• 35:05
  Speaker 3: weeks and the whole thing would have blown over.
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: The film was a dud. Everyone would have forgotten about her.
• 35:10
  Speaker 3: But no, she couldn't have any bad publicity because you know,
• 35:13
  Speaker 3: she's a golden girl and she's part of this golden couple.
• 35:16
  Speaker 3: So she comes up with this insane story. The New
• 35:19
  Speaker 3: York Times just prints it. I think New York Times
• 35:21
  Speaker 3: is going to be looking at a massive payout to
• 35:24
  Speaker 3: Justin Baldoni here. And as much as of a beta
• 35:28
  Speaker 3: male he is, and we've we've heard some of the
• 35:31
  Speaker 3: calls he plays to Blake Lively, some of these recorded calls,
• 35:34
  Speaker 3: and oh gosh, it is cringe worthy, just how over
• 35:40
  Speaker 3: the top he is with this male feminist ally narrative.
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: But he's got.
• 35:45
  Speaker 3: Himself an absolute killer lawyer, and he's going he's not
• 35:51
  Speaker 3: one you want to mess with. He's got a fantastic
• 35:54
  Speaker 3: track record and with each New Revelation, Blake Lively and
• 35:59
  Speaker 3: Ryle Ryan Reynolds ended up looking worse, and I noticed
• 36:03
  Speaker 3: they were both at the special Saturday Night Live anniversary
• 36:07
  Speaker 3: edition of the Playing the Awful skit. Ryan was involved
• 36:12
  Speaker 3: in a little bit later in this show, but also
• 36:14
  Speaker 3: on that program, we had that Tom Hanks skit painting
• 36:18
  Speaker 3: Trump supporters the majority of the country that is as
• 36:22
  Speaker 3: racist and stupid.
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: How is that being received in the US?
• 36:29
  Speaker 14: Oh, people are so upset about this. You have to understand.
• 36:35
  Speaker 14: The election we just went through was the least racialized
• 36:39
  Speaker 14: election probably in American history. It united working class voters
• 36:44
  Speaker 14: of all races, including a quarter of black men, a
• 36:47
  Speaker 14: historic number for a Republican to have gotten. This is
• 36:51
  Speaker 14: a moment of unbelievable unity among Democratic and Republican voters
• 36:57
  Speaker 14: who are working class because Donald really spoke to them.
• 37:01
  Speaker 14: He basically cobbled together the New Deal Democrat coalition for
• 37:06
  Speaker 14: the twenty first century. But the Democrats refuse to admit
• 37:12
  Speaker 14: that they lost the working class, which in and of
• 37:15
  Speaker 14: itself is utterly outrageous. What the Democratic Party represents today
• 37:20
  Speaker 14: is exactly what was in that skit. An unbelievably wealthy
• 37:25
  Speaker 14: person pretending to himself probably as well, that he is
• 37:29
  Speaker 14: a good person because he can smear poor and working
• 37:34
  Speaker 14: class people as racists to hide the fact that they
• 37:39
  Speaker 14: are rich. I mean, this is the move of the Democrats.
• 37:42
  Speaker 14: The liberals in America today are rich. The Democrats are
• 37:45
  Speaker 14: the party of the wealthy, and they masquerade as having
• 37:50
  Speaker 14: the higher moral high ground, as being somehow more compassionate
• 37:54
  Speaker 14: by smearing poor people.
• 37:55
  Speaker 7: I mean, it's.
• 37:56
  Speaker 14: Utterly disgusting and everybody can see it. Rita. The backlash
• 38:01
  Speaker 14: has been immense, and people are pretending on the left
• 38:04
  Speaker 14: like this is not a big deal. It is a
• 38:06
  Speaker 14: really big deal. The country is uniting around Donald Trump.
• 38:10
  Speaker 14: They are uniting around this agenda. They are uniting around
• 38:14
  Speaker 14: the strength and the efficiency and just the utter, utter
• 38:19
  Speaker 14: competence on display. It is such a relief. Every day
• 38:24
  Speaker 14: in the last three weeks that he's been president, to
• 38:26
  Speaker 14: two months, whatever it's been, Donald Trump has said to
• 38:29
  Speaker 14: the American people, you are not alone. I'm here, I'm
• 38:33
  Speaker 14: gonna help you. It is an unbelievably amazing thing to
• 38:37
  Speaker 14: be seeing. And I'll just end with this, Rita. This
• 38:40
  Speaker 14: has changed the game for future presidents because we've never
• 38:44
  Speaker 14: seen anybody do this. We've never seen anybody actually do
• 38:47
  Speaker 14: what they promised they were gonna do. We've never seen
• 38:50
  Speaker 14: anybody show up and say to forgotten Americans, I am
• 38:54
  Speaker 14: here and I'm gonna make your life better. This has
• 38:57
  Speaker 14: changed the game going forward, no more going back to
• 39:01
  Speaker 14: whatever the last four years was. But also I would
• 39:03
  Speaker 14: argue even what keen before that.
• 39:08
  Speaker 3: It has been an astonishing four weeks that the pace
• 39:11
  Speaker 3: of it has blown I think everybody away, even all
• 39:15
  Speaker 3: those people who believe that Trump would execute his agenda.
• 39:20
  Speaker 3: He was going to do what he promised to do.
• 39:23
  Speaker 3: We didn't think it was going to be keeping up
• 39:25
  Speaker 3: this pace. This is something else before you go. We've
• 39:28
  Speaker 3: talked about the media's tactics against Trump administration, and there
• 39:33
  Speaker 3: is nothing they will not seek to blame on him,
• 39:36
  Speaker 3: including a Delta plane crashing, crash landing in Canada. Thankfully
• 39:42
  Speaker 3: nobody lost their lives. The usual suspects on the View,
• 39:46
  Speaker 3: including Sonny hostin Joey Baha said plenty of silly stuff
• 39:51
  Speaker 3: and whoopee. Goldberg wasn't going to miss out on the
• 39:54
  Speaker 3: ill informed hysteria either.
• 39:56
  Speaker 13: I have been panicking of all this insanity these plays, yeah,
• 40:01
  Speaker 13: you know, and.
• 40:02
  Speaker 7: There's all kinds of stuff going on.
• 40:04
  Speaker 13: So let's start with the string of mass firings by
• 40:07
  Speaker 13: Elon Musk's Doggy Dogy dog Dog.
• 40:11
  Speaker 7: Dogie has sparked a lot of chaos, confusion, and fear because.
• 40:16
  Speaker 13: Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy is defending the firing of four
• 40:21
  Speaker 13: hundred FAA workers, but former Secretary Bullta Judge slam the
• 40:26
  Speaker 13: firings of employees.
• 40:28
  Speaker 2: That's enough of that. Incredible.
• 40:31
  Speaker 3: But as we watch this astonishing footage of passengers being
• 40:35
  Speaker 3: rescued from the crash plane, tell me about some of
• 40:39
  Speaker 3: the media hysteria and misinformation about who is to blame
• 40:43
  Speaker 3: for this crash.
• 40:44
  Speaker 14: Oh gosh, they try to blame everything on Trump, and
• 40:47
  Speaker 14: then anything good he does they won't give him any credit.
• 40:50
  Speaker 14: It's utterly, utterly disgusting. I'll just say about our Secretary
• 40:54
  Speaker 14: of Transportation Sean Duffy, this is an incredible, incredible human being.
• 41:00
  Speaker 14: Watch closely what he does with that office. He's going
• 41:03
  Speaker 14: to do amazing, amazing things. And again it all comes
• 41:06
  Speaker 14: down to the fact that they cannot admit how incompetent
• 41:10
  Speaker 14: they have become on the left, how utterly divorced from
• 41:13
  Speaker 14: the needs of the average American and this is all
• 41:16
  Speaker 14: just projection.
• 41:17
  Speaker 11: Reader.
• 41:18
  Speaker 14: Every accusation from the Democrats is a confession. They can't
• 41:22
  Speaker 14: stand the efficiency with which Donald Trump is carrying out
• 41:26
  Speaker 14: the mandate given to him by the American people. It's
• 41:28
  Speaker 14: going to be long four years for them. That's for sure.
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: Going to be a long four years. And if JD.
• 41:35
  Speaker 3: Vance keeps up his current form, it maybe a long
• 41:38
  Speaker 3: twelve years. Buttiyo Ga Sagon, thanks for your time tonight.
• 41:43
  Speaker 14: Thank you so much. Rida God bless still to come.
• 41:46
  Speaker 3: Megan Michael's latest rebrand effort goes a ride.
• 41:50
  Speaker 2: Dady dun Leavy joins me next. Welcome back. Joining me
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: now is veteran broadcaster d D. Done Lee v DEDI.
• 42:06
  Speaker 3: Let's start with the Blake Lively Justin Baldoni saga, which
• 42:10
  Speaker 3: has now entangled Taylor Swift. A sources told Page six
• 42:14
  Speaker 3: that Taylor Swift feels like a pawn in the lawsuit
• 42:18
  Speaker 3: between her bff Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni.
• 42:21
  Speaker 2: Taylor is taking a break from their friendship right now.
• 42:24
  Speaker 3: The source said, she is really hurt by this whole situation.
• 42:28
  Speaker 3: Taylor wants nothing to do with this Hall ordeal. She
• 42:32
  Speaker 3: has always been a loyal friend to Blake and doesn't
• 42:35
  Speaker 3: appreciate being thrown into this at all.
• 42:39
  Speaker 2: Oh, I don't know.
• 42:40
  Speaker 3: If you're a loyal friend, surely you stick by your
• 42:43
  Speaker 3: best friend when she's being absolutely savaged in the media.
• 42:47
  Speaker 3: Because Blake Lively's reputation has gone from Golden Girl to
• 42:52
  Speaker 3: well Megan Marko levels.
• 42:54
  Speaker 7: Really that low?
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: Gosh?
• 42:57
  Speaker 7: Yeah, look, I agree with you.
• 42:58
  Speaker 15: When this story first prog, I had no idea who
• 43:00
  Speaker 15: Justin Baldonie was, and was a fan of Gossip Girls,
• 43:04
  Speaker 15: so I sort of and we've just been have been
• 43:06
  Speaker 15: taught to believe people when they make such claims of
• 43:09
  Speaker 15: sexual impropriety. But I have read in detail all of
• 43:14
  Speaker 15: the stuff that's been posted online by Baldoni and you
• 43:18
  Speaker 15: can see the whole thing unfolding from his point of view.
• 43:21
  Speaker 7: We don't know that it's all correct.
• 43:22
  Speaker 3: But he's got receipts, he's got text messages, he's got audio,
• 43:26
  Speaker 3: he's got.
• 43:27
  Speaker 15: We don't know have the are they the genuine texts?
• 43:31
  Speaker 15: Have the screenshot's been edited?
• 43:33
  Speaker 3: We don't know that it's his version, But that Blake
• 43:36
  Speaker 3: Lively side went first, so they released a bunch of
• 43:40
  Speaker 3: texts when The New York Times ran the story that
• 43:43
  Speaker 3: were edited, so he released his to show how those
• 43:47
  Speaker 3: were edited, how they were sort of taken out of context.
• 43:50
  Speaker 3: And we haven't seen the other side response, so yeah,
• 43:53
  Speaker 3: perhaps they.
• 43:54
  Speaker 2: Will in court.
• 43:55
  Speaker 15: The impression that I was left with reading through it
• 43:58
  Speaker 15: was that he was falling on himself to please her.
• 44:01
  Speaker 7: And I can't remember her.
• 44:03
  Speaker 15: It was I heard someone saying that she and the
• 44:06
  Speaker 15: way she started to exert herself on that production was
• 44:09
  Speaker 15: well above what she was employed to do. It would
• 44:11
  Speaker 15: be like if your plumber was there and fix the
• 44:13
  Speaker 15: pipe and then popped out and said, now, what are
• 44:16
  Speaker 15: we doing about the colors of these walls? And what
• 44:18
  Speaker 15: are we doing with that so far? You know, she
• 44:20
  Speaker 15: absolutely overstepped what she was there for.
• 44:22
  Speaker 3: And her version of the film, her cut, tested not
• 44:27
  Speaker 3: as well as his cut, and he was the director,
• 44:30
  Speaker 3: and yet it was the one that got that got
• 44:32
  Speaker 3: the release. Use again, she's got the star power, But.
• 44:35
  Speaker 15: I never thought I would be cheering for Taylor's with anything.
• 44:38
  Speaker 15: I don't agree with her on most things she says,
• 44:40
  Speaker 15: but she's a bad friend though.
• 44:42
  Speaker 3: I mean, at the end of the day, even if
• 44:44
  Speaker 3: Blake is a brash you're supposed to be her friend.
• 44:46
  Speaker 4: Stick with her.
• 44:47
  Speaker 15: I don't think so, not when there's a multimillion dollar
• 44:49
  Speaker 15: lawsuit brewing. I think Taylor's done something smart in this instance.
• 44:54
  Speaker 15: It's backing away from the whole thing because they're on
• 44:56
  Speaker 15: the nose.
• 44:57
  Speaker 3: That couple.
• 44:57
  Speaker 2: Oh absolutely well.
• 44:58
  Speaker 3: They were at the Saturday Night Live fiftieth anniversary day
• 45:03
  Speaker 3: made their red carpet appearance. I think it was the
• 45:06
  Speaker 3: first one they've had since this whole saga began with
• 45:10
  Speaker 3: Justin Baldoni and that lawsuit was launched. But have a
• 45:15
  Speaker 3: look at this rather embarrassing little skit that Ryan Reynolds
• 45:19
  Speaker 3: was involved with, and you can see Blake Lively sitting
• 45:22
  Speaker 3: next to him.
• 45:23
  Speaker 7: How's it going great?
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: Bye? What have you heard? Yeah?
• 45:34
  Speaker 4: Okay?
• 45:34
  Speaker 14: My question is that you know that the materials that
• 45:36
  Speaker 14: they made the cone heads with are those are those edible?
• 45:41
  Speaker 4: No?
• 45:42
  Speaker 3: No?
• 45:42
  Speaker 8: And based on them being made in nineteen seventy five,
• 45:44
  Speaker 8: I'd assume that they're highly toxic.
• 45:46
  Speaker 14: Oh oh, okay, So somebody hypothetically took a couple of.
• 45:50
  Speaker 7: Nables backstage and got excited. Should they go to the
• 45:54
  Speaker 7: hospital or should they.
• 45:56
  Speaker 8: Yes, they should go to the hospital right away.
• 45:58
  Speaker 3: Good Saturday Night Live supposed to be a comedy showman
• 46:01
  Speaker 3: Get me in Italy, Breda.
• 46:03
  Speaker 2: I need to stitch up my sides.
• 46:05
  Speaker 3: Every bit I've seen out of that special has just
• 46:09
  Speaker 3: been more cringe worthy than the next.
• 46:11
  Speaker 2: I don't think that's going to help them in.
• 46:13
  Speaker 7: I don't think so.
• 46:14
  Speaker 15: No build there and the face on her she did
• 46:16
  Speaker 15: not seem happy with that.
• 46:18
  Speaker 2: And maybe she read the skit and knew how badly.
• 46:20
  Speaker 15: Was so she knew what was going, what was coming.
• 46:23
  Speaker 15: Their people worked with the producers of Saturday Night Life
• 46:26
  Speaker 15: on that joke, so she knew it was coming. So
• 46:28
  Speaker 15: is she acting when she looks shocked?
• 46:30
  Speaker 7: She probably is.
• 46:31
  Speaker 15: She's not such a great actress.
• 46:33
  Speaker 3: We've mentioned Meghan Markle, and she's been forced to change
• 46:37
  Speaker 3: the name of her lifestyle brand from American Riviera Orchard.
• 46:42
  Speaker 2: Why that's such a great name, just rolls off the time.
• 46:45
  Speaker 3: It's now called as Ever, following a series of trademarks setbacks,
• 46:50
  Speaker 3: including just this station laughing at it incessantly.
• 46:53
  Speaker 2: But now Meghan is under fire over.
• 46:56
  Speaker 3: The new logo for as Ever. She has been accused
• 46:59
  Speaker 3: of copy the coat of arms for the village of
• 47:03
  Speaker 3: Where in Majorca. On the left is her logo, and
• 47:08
  Speaker 3: on the right is the villagers. So compare your Yeah,
• 47:12
  Speaker 3: they're pretty similar, I guess. The mayor of that town
• 47:16
  Speaker 3: told the local newspaper the likeness was surreal and that
• 47:21
  Speaker 3: the town hall was deciding whether or not to take
• 47:24
  Speaker 3: legal action against the duchess.
• 47:26
  Speaker 2: I laughed, because it's ridiculous. But can she do anything right?
• 47:30
  Speaker 3: I mean, this ridiculous brand was launched with this absurd
• 47:34
  Speaker 3: name that I've had so much fun with, and she's
• 47:37
  Speaker 3: managed to sell about three jars of strawberry jam that
• 47:40
  Speaker 3: seems to be the entirety of the business.
• 47:43
  Speaker 15: I don't think she sold any she gave them away.
• 47:46
  Speaker 7: And that was twelve months ago. We've been waiting for
• 47:48
  Speaker 7: the jam.
• 47:49
  Speaker 15: We've been promised more jam readers, and don't stress, it's coming. Yeah,
• 47:54
  Speaker 15: look at the logo, I think, look at it.
• 47:55
  Speaker 7: The town is Pereirees. I've never been there.
• 47:58
  Speaker 15: It's only tiny, and I think they're only jumping on
• 48:01
  Speaker 15: this for the publicity of it. But the logos are
• 48:03
  Speaker 15: incredibly similar, so she can't do anything original at all.
• 48:07
  Speaker 15: And even this much vaunted Netflix show where she's going
• 48:11
  Speaker 15: to put a walnut next to a slice of melon,
• 48:14
  Speaker 15: next to a slice of cheese or whatever she's going to.
• 48:16
  Speaker 7: Do that will not be original.
• 48:18
  Speaker 15: We know from her, I keep seeing this new brand
• 48:22
  Speaker 15: as ever dropped the A and you've just got sever
• 48:26
  Speaker 15: and she knows a lot about severing things, doesn't she relationships.
• 48:29
  Speaker 3: With There is a great name actually that's strong. Should
• 48:32
  Speaker 3: have gone with that, and yes she knows all about it.
• 48:34
  Speaker 3: Before you go, just quickly, there's been another development in
• 48:37
  Speaker 3: Elon Musk's latest baby mama drama. Do you love saying
• 48:41
  Speaker 3: that now the Ashley Sinclair she's supposed to be the
• 48:45
  Speaker 3: latest baby mama, has made Musk's baby news. He hasn't
• 48:51
  Speaker 3: really owned up to this, so we're saying alleged Musk
• 48:54
  Speaker 3: baby and she's now saying that he's essentially ghosted her, disappeared.
• 48:59
  Speaker 15: From her life, purely not Something doesn't add up with
• 49:03
  Speaker 15: this whole scenario. Firstly, she said she went public because
• 49:06
  Speaker 15: there was a tabloid journal snipping around.
• 49:08
  Speaker 7: Where's the journal?
• 49:09
  Speaker 15: Where's the tabloid story? If you were the journo who
• 49:11
  Speaker 15: was onto that story, you'd be telling everyone that was me.
• 49:14
  Speaker 15: I was onto it exactly. He's been, from what we
• 49:17
  Speaker 15: can tell, in his own unique way, a responsible father
• 49:20
  Speaker 15: with all twelve of his children so far, so for
• 49:23
  Speaker 15: him to not even acknowledge there does seem to be
• 49:26
  Speaker 15: something not quite right with this entire story. So maybe
• 49:31
  Speaker 15: he's asking for a paternity test.
• 49:33
  Speaker 3: When you're worth whatever he is worth. I don't know,
• 49:36
  Speaker 3: three four hundred billion. Probably a paternity test is a
• 49:39
  Speaker 3: good idea. Yeah, Dummley, thank you, so spend your time,
• 49:42
  Speaker 3: and that's all the time we have. I'll see you
• 49:44
  Speaker 3: tomorrow night at eleven up. Next is Newsnight.
