- 0:17Speaker 3: of Goldstein.
- 0:18Speaker 2: Adam Criton will be.
- 0:19Speaker 3: Here to discuss that and today's other top stories. Professor

- 0:27Speaker 3: wind farm project for ad'angelus.
- 0:30Speaker 2: We'll have the latest from the US.
- 0:31Speaker 3: And later in the hour kinsisco Field on why Disney executives.
- 0:36Speaker 4: One of the ladies of the View, to tone.

- 0:42Speaker 3: Tonight's edition features a trans park ranger at Yosemite National
- 0:47Speaker 3: Park with this important message.
- 0:49Speaker 5: Hecs that can transition success can be found on every
- 0:52Speaker 5: continent and in every ocean one planet Earth. So call
- 0:56Speaker 5: it a protest, call it a celebration.
- 0:58Speaker 3: But first, the youth crime crisis in Melbourne has intensified further.
- 1:02Speaker 3: In the latest escalation, please say that two rival gangs
- 1:06Speaker 3: organized to meet at Northland Shopping Center on Sunday, armed
- 1:09Speaker 3: and ready to fight after an incident the previous day,
- 1:13Speaker 3: terrified shoppers were forced to run for their lives in
- 1:16Speaker 3: the busy shopping complex in the Melbourne suburb of Preston,
- 1:20Speaker 3: with families barricading themselves in stores as the machete wielding youth.
- 1:25Speaker 6: Ran riot And then we got let out, and then
- 1:28Speaker 6: when we got let out, lost all my belongings, went
- 1:31Speaker 6: back to the food court, no arms, nothing, We had
- 1:34Speaker 6: no idea where anyone was. And then there was a
- 1:36Speaker 6: second lot that had come through, got knocked over, got
- 1:40Speaker 6: knocked over, and yeah, I'm here today to collect my
- 1:43Speaker 6: car and see where my belongings are.
- 1:45Speaker 4: I've lost. Everything was hectic. It was just crazy like
- 1:48Speaker 4: an iPhone, yeah, with machetes.
- 1:50Speaker 7: Glanced over and he was holding quite a big machete,
- 1:54Speaker 7: so I obviously was like, oh my god, you know,
- 1:56Speaker 7: terrifying and displayed.
- 1:57Speaker 6: It was just a man lying on the floor like
- 1:59Speaker 6: a surrounded by cobs with big flood on the floor.
- 2:02Speaker 7: The other man with the big machetes still in his stomach.
- 2:06Speaker 3: A sixteen year old and a fifteen year old have
- 2:09Speaker 3: since been charged with multiple offenses, including a frey intentionally
- 2:13Speaker 3: causing injury, possession of a controlled weapon and use of
- 2:16Speaker 3: the controlled weapon. Premier just Into Alan has today announced
- 2:20Speaker 3: a ban on machetes.
- 2:22Speaker 8: We are choking the supply of machetes by bringing about
- 2:26Speaker 8: this immediate band from them being sold anywhere in Victoria.
- 2:30Speaker 3: Joining me now for more on this is IPA chief
- 2:33Speaker 3: economist and senior fellow Adam Crichton. Adam, this seems like
- 2:37Speaker 3: a great solution.
- 2:39Speaker 2: Just banned machetes. Don't worry about.
- 2:41Speaker 3: The underlying issues with crime crisis. And I'm sure these
- 2:45Speaker 3: thugs are going to be abiding by the new rules
- 2:47Speaker 3: and not accessing machetes. If it's not a machete can
- 2:51Speaker 3: be another large later weapon.
- 2:54Speaker 9: Yeah, look to focus on machetes, I think is somewhat amusing.
- 2:57Speaker 9: I don't think the number of machetes and Victoria has
- 2:59Speaker 9: changed dramatically.
- 3:00Speaker 4: In recent years, and yet we have seen this spiking crime.
- 3:03Speaker 4: I think.
- 3:03Speaker 9: You know, one kind of a sad anecdote here on
- 3:06Speaker 9: the state of politics in this state is that, you know,
- 3:09Speaker 9: the machines were meant to be banned on the first
- 3:11Speaker 9: in sectum, but now they're going to be banned overnight.
- 3:13Speaker 4: Just it's of one particular incident.
- 3:15Speaker 9: So it just goes to show you how reactive the
- 3:16Speaker 9: state government is there's really no long term planning. But
- 3:19Speaker 9: on the broader issue of youth crime, this has certainly
- 3:23Speaker 9: been increasing recently. This is very, very distressing to see.
- 3:26Speaker 9: It would have been very scary being at that supermarket
- 3:28Speaker 9: that day. And you know, my sense is that you know,
- 3:31Speaker 9: certain groups in the community don't have as much respect
- 3:33Speaker 9: for the law. I don't think that's kind of saying
- 3:35Speaker 9: anything kind of out there.
- 3:37Speaker 3: And the state government for so long has deny that
- 3:41Speaker 3: there is a gang issue in this state, particularly youth gangs,
- 3:44Speaker 3: and until they acknowledge there is a problem, they're going
- 3:48Speaker 3: to be in no position to solve it.
- 3:50Speaker 2: And just banning things isn't the answer.
- 3:54Speaker 3: And the opposition, I've got to say, haven't exactly been
- 3:57Speaker 3: groundbreaking on this either. They not look at the broader issues,
- 4:01Speaker 3: underlying issues and to do with the criminal justice system
- 4:05Speaker 3: as well. I mean, look at this case. This is
- 4:06Speaker 3: a more youth crime in Victoria. Sixteen year old charge
- 4:10Speaker 3: with seventy separate offenses, mostly assault related, in just the
- 4:14Speaker 3: last twelve months. While in arguing for bail, the teen's
- 4:18Speaker 3: lawyers told the Children's court that he now self identifies
- 4:21Speaker 3: as First Nations, despite his parents telling police he isn't
- 4:27Speaker 3: had him putting that to it To one side, it's
- 4:31Speaker 3: just another example of a teen facing serious charges getting
- 4:35Speaker 3: bailed time and time and time again. The criminal justice
- 4:39Speaker 3: system in this state is broken, and you're right, the
- 4:44Speaker 3: Alan government is reactive. They're taking measures now, but it
- 4:48Speaker 3: all seems to be too little.
- 4:49Speaker 10: Too late.
- 4:50Speaker 11: Yeah.
- 4:50Speaker 9: Look, certainly in this particular example, this kid does not
- 4:53Speaker 9: seem like a good young fellow in all those charges.
- 4:56Speaker 9: But more broadly, I would say in Australia, and you're
- 4:58Speaker 9: probably think I'm going to be soft on prime here reader,
- 5:00Speaker 9: but you know, we probably have too many nonviolent offenders
- 5:03Speaker 9: in prison. It costs, it costs a huge amount to
- 5:06Speaker 9: look after them. I think at the.
- 5:08Speaker 4: IPA we did some research last year.
- 5:09Speaker 9: It costs about one hundred and sixty thousand dollars a
- 5:11Speaker 9: year to keep one person in prison. And the prison
- 5:15Speaker 9: population has been growing five percent, it grew last year.
- 5:17Speaker 9: That's three times population growth. So you know, this is
- 5:20Speaker 9: billions and billions of dollars.
- 5:21Speaker 4: A year we're spending.
- 5:22Speaker 9: So so you know, there must be a better way
- 5:25Speaker 9: with you know, with criminals like this guy.
- 5:28Speaker 4: You know he's probably from away with family.
- 5:30Speaker 9: Perhaps I don't know anything about his particular case, but
- 5:34Speaker 9: more broadly, we've got to try to keep well.
- 5:36Speaker 3: That's an interesting discussion about whether non violent criminals should
- 5:41Speaker 3: just have a some sort of a tracking device. I'd
- 5:45Speaker 3: be fined to home atsion. Now let's talk about the
- 5:49Speaker 3: Australian Electoral Commission holding a partial recount of votes in
- 5:53Speaker 3: the seat of Goldstein amid till candidate Zoe Daniels continued
- 5:58Speaker 3: refusal to concede defeat. This is despite the fact that
- 6:02Speaker 3: it's been declared now several times and she may have
- 6:05Speaker 3: forgotten this, but back in twenty twenty, Zoe Daniel lash
- 6:09Speaker 3: Donald Trump on social media, posting Trump has to find
- 6:13Speaker 3: an excuse for losing that is not himself, because he
- 6:17Speaker 3: can't accept being a loser.
- 6:19Speaker 2: Now it's Zoey Daniel or should that be Zoe denial.
- 6:22Speaker 3: That he's refusing to accept defeat.
- 6:24Speaker 2: Is she a threat to democracy?
- 6:27Speaker 3: Do you feel like you can't sleep at night with
- 6:30Speaker 3: this sort of threat.
- 6:31Speaker 9: Look, it's very funny when the shoes on the other foot,
- 6:33Speaker 9: that was a very good fine of yours. I think
- 6:34Speaker 9: you found that in her Twitter feed, didn't you? Oh no, No.
- 6:37Speaker 2: Some other person on expounded I've just used it.
- 6:40Speaker 4: But look, I mean, you know she's you know, it
- 6:43Speaker 4: is embarrassing for her.
- 6:43Speaker 9: I mean, I think the footage of her claiming victory
- 6:45Speaker 9: will be one of the funniest sets of footage I
- 6:47Speaker 9: think in Australian political history. The fact that there's a
- 6:50Speaker 9: recount that's somewhat interesting because the triggers meant to be
- 6:53Speaker 9: one hundred votes I think it's two hundred and sixty
- 6:55Speaker 9: votes different, so they didn't have to do a recount.
- 6:58Speaker 9: I noticed it's a partial recount, so it's we're not
- 7:00Speaker 9: going to change the outcome. I mean, I think she
- 7:01Speaker 9: would have been better just not asking for one, especially
- 7:05Speaker 9: given the embarrassment I just mentioned earlier.
- 7:06Speaker 3: About oh No, I think that's holding onto dear life
- 7:09Speaker 3: and the man who beat her. Tim Wilson has posted
- 7:11Speaker 3: this on x He said, I'm concerned about the increasing
- 7:14Speaker 3: escalation of commentary from the former Member for Goldstein that
- 7:19Speaker 3: is trending towards bringing the Australian Electoral Commissions Count into
- 7:23Speaker 3: question and needlessly seed in questions about the AEC's processes.
- 7:28Speaker 3: The AAC has been very thorough. The count has gone
- 7:31Speaker 3: on for three weeks liberal until scrutineers observed the process
- 7:36Speaker 3: votes were.
- 7:36Speaker 2: Counted multiple times.
- 7:39Speaker 3: Margin hasn't dropped below one hundred once in a majority,
- 7:42Speaker 3: and our two hundred and sixty margin nearly doubles and
- 7:46Speaker 3: imagery one pin forty auto recount threshold. So that's very interesting,
- 7:51Speaker 3: isn't it? So three weeks, I mean that is a
- 7:55Speaker 3: long time.
- 7:56Speaker 4: It is. Well, that's a whole other issue.
- 7:57Speaker 9: We should have known the results by now, many days ago,
- 8:00Speaker 9: I would say.
- 8:02Speaker 3: Now we've got more details of the Liberal Party's disastrous
- 8:06Speaker 3: election campaign. A senior Liberal source has told The Australian
- 8:10Speaker 3: newspaper that internal polling by Freshwater Strategy was extremely inaccurate
- 8:16Speaker 3: and gave the campaign flawed information throughout the election. The
- 8:22Speaker 3: polling was a huge problem.
- 8:24Speaker 2: It was way out.
- 8:25Speaker 3: If we had known the truth, we would have changed
- 8:29Speaker 3: course overnight. Well, Adam, if they just watched Sky News.
- 8:32Speaker 3: We've been telling them all year and certainly throughout the
- 8:35Speaker 3: election campaign that they were absolutely stuffing it up.
- 8:40Speaker 2: They were going to lose.
- 8:41Speaker 3: They were going to lose comfortably because this was just
- 8:44Speaker 3: the most lackluster nothing campaign and opposition has mounted well
- 8:49Speaker 3: in my lifetime.
- 8:51Speaker 9: Yeah, Look, I mean i'd probably have a slightly different view.
- 8:53Speaker 9: I mean, of course, in hindsight, we're all geniuses now.
- 8:56Speaker 2: But I know it was a hindsight.
- 8:57Speaker 3: I said it throughout the election campaign.
- 9:00Speaker 9: I don't know, but now others I thought it would
- 9:02Speaker 9: be closer than it was. And I guess I was
- 9:03Speaker 9: misled by the polling and everyone's beating up on freshwater,
- 9:06Speaker 9: and I get that it's kind of funny, but it
- 9:09Speaker 9: was all the polling was kind of wrong. I mean,
- 9:10Speaker 9: it wasn't just them, it was all. It was all
- 9:13Speaker 9: hugely out. I mean, it was kind of the Polster's
- 9:15Speaker 9: twenty sixteen moment, if you're like, in relation to the US,
- 9:18Speaker 9: when they all got it completely wrong, except the era
- 9:20Speaker 9: didn't go to the right, went to the left.
- 9:23Speaker 4: So look, let's hope they.
- 9:24Speaker 9: Improve their polling for next time, especially for the Liberal Party,
- 9:27Speaker 9: so that they're not kind of operating blind.
- 9:29Speaker 11: Yes.
- 9:30Speaker 3: Yes, And it was an interesting piece by Greg Sheridan
- 9:32Speaker 3: over the weekend in The Australian about the country being divided,
- 9:37Speaker 3: misgoverned and in retreat. Hero to Australia is a nation
- 9:41Speaker 3: in decline across every indicator you can imagine, economy, living standards,
- 9:46Speaker 3: social cohesion, crime, health, military capability, the creativity and virtuosity
- 9:54Speaker 3: of the arts. We're in a serious decline. Is it
- 9:56Speaker 3: really that grim?
- 9:57Speaker 2: Adam?
- 9:58Speaker 4: Look, I think it is.
- 9:59Speaker 9: I share his piece, and in fact I wrote a
- 10:01Speaker 9: similar column a few weeks earlier in The Australian.
- 10:03Speaker 4: Look, I think, I think, I always dimensions.
- 10:05Speaker 9: But let's just look at the economic You know, we
- 10:06Speaker 9: did have the biggest fall of living standards in the
- 10:09Speaker 9: OECD over the last three years, which is extremely embarrassing,
- 10:13Speaker 9: and it's hard to see how that's going to stop.
- 10:14Speaker 9: We've got the resource boom ending soon that the Chinese
- 10:17Speaker 9: economy is going to start to shrink, and yet no
- 10:19Speaker 9: one is talking about this. I mean, how are we
- 10:21Speaker 9: going to pay our way in the world. We've been
- 10:23Speaker 9: relying on order to do it for the last ten
- 10:25Speaker 9: or so years. That's going to slowly dry up. And
- 10:27Speaker 9: yet we keep regulating our economy, increasing taxes. There's no
- 10:31Speaker 9: debate really about our taxation system or our economic future.
- 10:35Speaker 9: And you know what we've imported I think one point
- 10:37Speaker 9: three million migrants in three years, the fastest population growth
- 10:40Speaker 9: in the developed world by far.
- 10:44Speaker 2: Not sufficient housing for them.
- 10:46Speaker 9: That's right, absolutely not. And then there's a social cohesion issue.
- 10:49Speaker 9: I mean that's starting to phrase surely. I mean we
- 10:51Speaker 9: talked about some issues earlier on the program that possibly
- 10:53Speaker 9: relate to that. So look, I just think it's almost
- 10:56Speaker 9: like the political class is actually trying to destroy to destroy.
- 10:59Speaker 4: Australia on purpose. That's how I has a mystic. I
- 11:01Speaker 4: am about it.
- 11:03Speaker 2: Before you go. I know you love the city of Melbourne.
- 11:06Speaker 2: You're a new residence, a new resident, but this news
- 11:10Speaker 2: isn't going to make you happy.
- 11:12Speaker 3: More than eight hundred thousand dollars of the COVID Relief
- 11:16Speaker 3: Fund was redirected by the City of Melbourne.
- 11:20Speaker 2: This money was.
- 11:20Speaker 3: Supposed to help revitalize the CBD, but instead it's gone
- 11:23Speaker 3: to creating forty kilometer zones in East Melbourne and North Melbourne.
- 11:28Speaker 4: Adam, it's funny. I mean I saw this story and
- 11:30Speaker 4: I was shocked.
- 11:30Speaker 9: But one of my pet peeves about the city since
- 11:32Speaker 9: moving here from Sydney is the slow speed limits, especially
- 11:35Speaker 9: going from the airport to the CBD, where you've got
- 11:37Speaker 9: this beautiful highway and you can't go any faster than
- 11:39Speaker 9: eighty ks an hour. I mean, it doesn't make any sense.
- 11:42Speaker 9: And so this is forty k speed limit I mean
- 11:44Speaker 9: you'll almost be better off walking, which is the idea.
- 11:46Speaker 9: That's what they want to do. What it can't bikes,
- 11:49Speaker 9: That's right, they want everyone on bikes. So I think
- 11:51Speaker 9: that's just so embarrassing. I mean, if you want to
- 11:52Speaker 9: be a world city, you can't have forty k speed limits.
- 11:55Speaker 4: It's just a joke.
- 11:56Speaker 2: Adam crist And thank you so much for your time.
- 11:58Speaker 4: Thanks render.
- 12:00Speaker 3: Joining me now is steam geologist and author Professor Ian Primer.
- 12:05Speaker 3: Let's start with the shocking revelations that the City of
- 12:08Speaker 3: Melbourne spent around nine hundred thousand dollars on fifty four
- 12:12Speaker 3: memberships to environmental and social justice organizations in just one year.
- 12:17Speaker 3: These include the Carbon Neutral Cities Alliance, Diversity Council Australia,
- 12:22Speaker 3: the Hume City Council's Northern Alliance for Greenhouse Action, and
- 12:27Speaker 3: the City of Sydney is a City Switch Climate program,
- 12:31Speaker 3: many many others. In their end, is this a good
- 12:34Speaker 3: use of taxpayers money?
- 12:35Speaker 2: Ratepayers money?
- 12:37Speaker 12: Or when you walk around the streets of Melbourne, they're filthy,
- 12:40Speaker 12: there's rubbish everywhere, there are potholes. I would have thought
- 12:44Speaker 12: that their priority which to look after the City of
- 12:47Speaker 12: Melbourne rather than following their ideology. I'm surprised that on
- 12:52Speaker 12: that list there isn't a member ship to the Australian
- 12:54Speaker 12: Communist Party because that's exactly what they're doing. What an
- 12:58Speaker 12: appalling waste of money always happened every time Labor has
- 13:02Speaker 12: got the purse strings. They will spend money on their
- 13:05Speaker 12: little pet hobbies and not be concerned about the people
- 13:09Speaker 12: who actually pay them.
- 13:10Speaker 3: Well, it seems like they're using rate payers money to
- 13:13Speaker 3: prop up other city council's climate obsessions as well. There's
- 13:17Speaker 3: money here going to the Human City Council, Sydney City Council.
- 13:22Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 13:23Speaker 3: It does not pass the pup test in my eyes.
- 13:26Speaker 3: But let's go to Queensland and the Chris of Foley
- 13:29Speaker 3: government has dumped a billion dollar.
- 13:32Speaker 2: Wind farm project.
- 13:34Speaker 3: The Moonlight Range wind farm project is a go on.
- 13:37Speaker 3: It was said to be located forty kilometers northwest of Rockhampton.
- 13:42Speaker 2: And this decision comes in after five hundred.
- 13:44Speaker 3: And fifty submissions were received during the forty day public
- 13:48Speaker 3: consultation process. The overwhelming majority wanted a review despite the
- 13:53Speaker 3: fact that Labor had to approved this project.
- 13:56Speaker 12: Yes, well, this is people power at its best. These
- 14:00Speaker 12: wind industrial complexes. They're not farms actually destroyed large amounts
- 14:05Speaker 12: of the bush. They destroy wildlife. And it is not
- 14:10Speaker 12: the work of an environmentalist to flatten forests to put
- 14:15Speaker 12: in inefficient, unreliable energy environments. Shouldn't be killing off koala habitats.
- 14:21Speaker 12: And that's exactly what happened. And people power finally has won.
- 14:25Speaker 12: Now there were a dozen of these projects going on
- 14:27Speaker 12: around in Australia, Perfectly good farmland being destroyed by solar panels,
- 14:33Speaker 12: perfectly good farmland being criss crossed by whole high voltage
- 14:36Speaker 12: power lines and people can't use heavy equipment underneath it.
- 14:40Speaker 12: So it's about time that the people will listen to absolutely.
- 14:44Speaker 3: If you fly across Australia, you will see dozens of
- 14:47Speaker 3: these projects all across the countryside. Now the Country Liberal
- 14:52Speaker 3: Party in the NT has scrapped the previous Labor government's
- 14:56Speaker 3: renewable energy targets. The Labor government had pledged to fifty
- 15:00Speaker 3: percent of the Northern Territory is grid supplied by renewables
- 15:04Speaker 3: by twenty thirty, but eight years in there's only twenty
- 15:08Speaker 3: percent coming from renewables, and it seems like achieving that
- 15:12Speaker 3: fifty percent would cripple their economy would cost another five
- 15:17Speaker 3: billion in these targets, and not only unattainable, I would
- 15:21Speaker 3: argue they're entirely undesirable. Why were they ever committed to
- 15:26Speaker 3: it's just so economically reckless.
- 15:29Speaker 12: Well, we're seeing around the world now people are saying
- 15:32Speaker 12: we cannot achieve net zero. There was recently report done
- 15:35Speaker 12: in Finland showing that the closest thing to impossible is
- 15:39Speaker 12: actually net zero. You cannot achieve it. And then the
- 15:44Speaker 12: next step down is to cushcross the country with high
- 15:46Speaker 12: voltage power lines over very large distances, which you've got
- 15:50Speaker 12: in the Northern Territory. Now, just because you've got a
- 15:52Speaker 12: lot of sun doesn't mean you've got cheap electricity. What
- 15:56Speaker 12: you've got is the ability to generate electricity for a
- 15:59Speaker 12: few hours day, and then what do you do?
- 16:03Speaker 4: How do you keep the system running?
- 16:05Speaker 12: So I think people are finally waking up to the
- 16:08Speaker 12: common sense and finally waking up to the absolutely extraordinary
- 16:11Speaker 12: costs of running sol and wind in rural Australia and
- 16:17Speaker 12: areas without much population.
- 16:20Speaker 3: The IPA has been doing research on this issue for
- 16:22Speaker 3: some time now, and their latert starter shows that most
- 16:26Speaker 3: Australians want the government to prioritize affordability over achieving net
- 16:31Speaker 3: zero emissions.
- 16:32Speaker 2: Fifty six percent want.
- 16:34Speaker 3: Affordability to be the top priority, whilst twenty one percent
- 16:39Speaker 3: favor reaching net zero over lower prices.
- 16:42Speaker 2: And you can see that figure is actually increased.
- 16:44Speaker 3: Back in twenty twenty two, it was forty one percent
- 16:47Speaker 3: who wanted affordability prioritized. Now it's well over fifty percent.
- 16:52Speaker 3: And I guess that's the function of path prices going up.
- 16:55Speaker 3: People are waking up to the reality that more renewables
- 16:58Speaker 3: doesn't mean cheaper prices.
- 17:00Speaker 12: Well, we keep getting told that renewables are the cheapest
- 17:03Speaker 12: form of energy. That is a lie. People have only
- 17:07Speaker 12: got to look at the electricity bill to see that
- 17:09Speaker 12: renewables are crippling this country. And the more and more
- 17:13Speaker 12: renewables we put into the system, the more expensive it gets.
- 17:17Speaker 12: Now that state Victoria once had the cheapest power in
- 17:20Speaker 12: the world, and we have six thousand years of brown
- 17:25Speaker 12: coal in Victoria for generating electricity.
- 17:28Speaker 4: We're ignoring that.
- 17:29Speaker 12: And what happened is Victoria now is the most expensive
- 17:32Speaker 12: power in the world, and right across the world people
- 17:35Speaker 12: have realized this was a fundamental ideological error to rely
- 17:40Speaker 12: on wind and to rely on solar to actually keep
- 17:44Speaker 12: an industrial society going.
- 17:46Speaker 3: And in you're right around the world they are abandoning
- 17:48Speaker 3: this madness. Even New Zealand has abandoned its pursuit of
- 17:52Speaker 3: net zero. The edgisinn era policy is gone. They're now
- 17:57Speaker 3: investing one hundred and eighty five million in offshore gas
- 18:00Speaker 3: projects in their latest budget because guess what gas works well.
- 18:05Speaker 12: New Zealand's got the Taranaki Basin, which has been a
- 18:07Speaker 12: gas and oil producer for quite a long period of time.
- 18:10Speaker 12: New Zealand has some of the best quality coals in
- 18:14Speaker 12: the world on the west coast of the South Island
- 18:17Speaker 12: and that sequence of rocks extends offshore and associated with
- 18:23Speaker 12: that coal is gas. So New Zealand is doing the
- 18:26Speaker 12: right thing. There's only a certain amount of geothermal that
- 18:28Speaker 12: can get from New Zealand, and that is isolated parts
- 18:31Speaker 12: of the North Island and the rest has to come
- 18:33Speaker 12: from conventional fossil fuels.
- 18:35Speaker 3: Now, finally, before you go, I know we haven't talked
- 18:38Speaker 3: about Chris Bowen for a few weeks now and you've
- 18:40Speaker 3: missed him, but he's copped at almighty thrashing from a
- 18:45Speaker 3: priest for eating a bowl of pasta during Catholic Mass. Yes,
- 18:49Speaker 3: Chris Bowen arrived late to the religious ceremony before sitting
- 18:53Speaker 3: in his assigned seat in the front row and then stuffing.
- 18:56Speaker 2: His face with a bowl of pasta. During the rest
- 18:59Speaker 2: of the Mass.
- 19:00Speaker 3: The presiding priest, Reverend Anthony Freglance, was aghast, and he
- 19:07Speaker 3: finished his service by reminding his congregation Italian not to
- 19:12Speaker 3: eat during Mass. He told the Daily Telegraph, mister Bowen
- 19:16Speaker 3: needed to have more respect for the sacredness of the place.
- 19:20Speaker 3: When you arrive halfway through the service, you should go
- 19:23Speaker 3: to your place and be quiet, he said.
- 19:26Speaker 2: But Ian Chris Bowen claims he had no idea. It
- 19:30Speaker 2: was a mass. It was a mass service. So yeah,
- 19:34Speaker 2: that's that's Chris.
- 19:36Speaker 3: For he really has no idea what's happening.
- 19:39Speaker 12: He has no respect for people's hip pockets. Why should
- 19:43Speaker 12: he have respect in a church?
- 19:45Speaker 4: I do like it.
- 19:46Speaker 2: This is the most the funniest story of the day.
- 19:48Speaker 2: You've got to say, look at him, he's he is.
- 19:52Speaker 3: A hungry, hungry man. For see and blymer, Thank you
- 19:56Speaker 3: so much for your time today. Thank you still to
- 19:58Speaker 3: come left his plus, the WNBA holds a moment of silence.
- 20:04Speaker 2: For George Floyd, for Indangelis, for it cost.
- 20:18Speaker 3: You're watching the Riata Penny Show and it's time for
- 20:20Speaker 3: lefties losing it. And you know, when I think about
- 20:23Speaker 3: the wonders of the natural world, I made it. They
- 20:26Speaker 3: think of puberty blockers, bottom surgery and other irreversible trans treatments,
- 20:31Speaker 3: don't you. Let's check what is happening at Yosemite National Park.
- 20:36Speaker 5: We carry the largest trans parade flag to ever be
- 20:39Speaker 5: flown in a national park and unfurled it on the
- 20:42Speaker 5: side of our cap to prove a point that trans
- 20:45Speaker 5: is natural. Trump administration and transphobes would love to have
- 20:50Speaker 5: you believe that being trans is unnatural. But species that
- 20:53Speaker 5: can transition sexes can be found on every continent and
- 20:56Speaker 5: in every ocean one planet Earth. They try to erase
- 20:59Speaker 5: us from government websites and education systems and libraries. So
- 21:04Speaker 5: we raised this flag higher than ever before.
- 21:07Speaker 3: Yes, thanks for ruining the photos of people who travel
- 21:10Speaker 3: to Yosemite for a once in a lifetime experience. That
- 21:13Speaker 3: unauthorized A little stunt was shut down by park authorities,
- 21:18Speaker 3: and the flag has been thankfully removed. Okay, from that
- 21:22Speaker 3: absurdity to another. Here is a disabled trans Muslim pro
- 21:27Speaker 3: Palestinian woman activist identifies as a woman. This should be
- 21:32Speaker 3: a comedy sketch, but apparently it is all too real,
- 21:35Speaker 3: and this gentleman is very serious.
- 21:38Speaker 13: I've found before you all as a proud fis community
- 21:42Speaker 13: trans Muslim woman.
- 21:43Speaker 14: I'm disabled and.
- 21:45Speaker 4: This state hates that.
- 21:47Speaker 15: This state has burned trans.
- 21:50Speaker 14: And disabled people to create a smoke screen to cover
- 21:53Speaker 14: the further bodies that they are burning around the world.
- 21:57Speaker 3: The delusion is beyond measure. You know where there are
- 22:00Speaker 3: no trans Muslim men in.
- 22:03Speaker 2: Dress protesting in the streets in any Muslim majority country.
- 22:08Speaker 15: And I'm sick of it.
- 22:09Speaker 2: I'm sick of it, Cardiff.
- 22:11Speaker 13: Today I stand on March for the liberation of my
- 22:14Speaker 13: people in the trans community, for people in the disabled community,
- 22:18Speaker 13: the people in the needy community.
- 22:20Speaker 4: Do not a love of a listing in people?
- 22:22Speaker 10: Do all these people and the intersections.
- 22:25Speaker 4: That they don't present me?
- 22:27Speaker 14: Where I stand at the close roads of so many places?
- 22:30Speaker 1: A submarine?
- 22:34Speaker 6: So long?
- 22:40Speaker 2: What's that line?
- 22:41Speaker 3: Like turkeys cheering for Christmas? Now Here is a triggered
- 22:45Speaker 3: Karen claiming that she is not a Karen.
- 22:48Speaker 15: I'm sick and tired of Trump supporters calling me a Karen.
- 22:53Speaker 15: You have no idea what that means. A Karen is privileged, entitled, Michaelold,
- 23:00Speaker 15: aggressive racism, anti vacs.
- 23:04Speaker 12: Who does that sound like.
- 23:06Speaker 15: The Trump administration? Trump followers, you're the karens.
- 23:11Speaker 3: Oh sure, Karen, whatever you say. Now to a former Karen.
- 23:14Speaker 2: Who has seen the lot.
- 23:16Speaker 3: After a lifetime of voting Democrats, she found herself living
- 23:19Speaker 3: among gang bangers in the country illegally.
- 23:22Speaker 2: That will wipe anybody up.
- 23:24Speaker 4: So you were a Democrat.
- 23:26Speaker 9: It was my whole life.
- 23:28Speaker 1: Really.
- 23:28Speaker 11: I first voted for Bill Clinton and voted Democrat every
- 23:33Speaker 11: single year until yeah, November.
- 23:37Speaker 10: If that it was not for Donald Trump.
- 23:42Speaker 11: We might still be living next to gang members because
- 23:45Speaker 11: everything changed after he was elected.
- 23:49Speaker 4: So you feel a lot safer now that he's in
- 23:50Speaker 4: the White House again.
- 23:52Speaker 11: I do, because he's taking it seriously.
- 23:55Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 23:55Speaker 11: The Democrats simply ignored it. They said it was lie.
- 24:02Speaker 11: They won't talk to people who have been victimized by this.
- 24:05Speaker 3: Now, this next clip must be music to her ears.
- 24:08Speaker 3: Here is the official account of Homeland Security.
- 24:11Speaker 2: I'm not kidding.
- 24:12Speaker 3: This is the official account posting a video of Donald
- 24:16Speaker 3: Trump saying bye bye to criminal illegal immigrants who have
- 24:20Speaker 3: been deported.
- 24:21Speaker 14: Bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye
- 24:27Speaker 14: bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye
- 24:29Speaker 14: bye bye bye bye okay bye bye bye bye bye
- 24:33Speaker 14: bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye
- 24:36Speaker 14: bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye
- 24:40Speaker 14: bing thing bye bye bye bye bye bye wave goodbye.
- 24:45Speaker 2: Now here is.
- 24:46Speaker 3: The brilliant Meghan Kelly holding Jake Tapper to account for
- 24:50Speaker 3: his culpability, his complicity, and the great cover up on
- 24:55Speaker 3: Joe Biden's cognitive decline that is now pretending to expose
- 24:59Speaker 3: in his new book.
- 25:00Speaker 2: This is beautiful stuff folks enjoy.
- 25:03Speaker 7: Over here in my ecosphere. We were covering all of these.
- 25:07Speaker 7: It wasn't just falling down, it was getting lost. It
- 25:09Speaker 7: was some of the stuff you report in your book.
- 25:12Speaker 7: We knew and we were reporting on, like the multi
- 25:15Speaker 7: jump cuts in the videos of him, or it was
- 25:18Speaker 7: obvious he couldn't get through a one minute take. It
- 25:20Speaker 7: was clear to us that he was using teleprompter, and
- 25:24Speaker 7: there was some reporting on that at the time, all
- 25:25Speaker 7: of which the White House was denying. Now, the current
- 25:28Speaker 7: White House, I have some connections with the Joe Biden
- 25:31Speaker 7: White House. I had none, but you did. There was
- 25:33Speaker 7: an attempted cover up. It could only ever work if
- 25:37Speaker 7: you allowed it, if the.
- 25:38Speaker 10: Press allowed it.
- 25:39Speaker 7: Some of us tried not to, and some of us
- 25:41Speaker 7: were complicit.
- 25:42Speaker 2: And she was not going to let up.
- 25:44Speaker 3: When Jake Tappa again tried to rewrite history by claimbing
- 25:48Speaker 3: that he covered the Wall Street Journal's expose on Biden,
- 25:53Speaker 3: indeed he did the opposite. He did everything he could
- 25:57Speaker 3: to discredit the story and make was there to remind you.
- 26:01Speaker 16: That's the point is that they were not being honest.
- 26:05Speaker 10: That's how The Street jour will get it.
- 26:06Speaker 7: In June of twenty twenty four, and Jake Tapper and
- 26:09Speaker 7: CNN couldn't find sources for this story. Then before he dropped.
- 26:12Speaker 16: Out, Annie Lynsky and Shavon Hughes did an amazing job
- 26:17Speaker 16: in their reporting and they should be heralded.
- 26:21Speaker 1: And I heralded them.
- 26:22Speaker 16: I had them on my show right after the debate
- 26:24Speaker 16: to talk about the great reporting.
- 26:26Speaker 10: But anyone to the debate.
- 26:27Speaker 7: But you did not put them on when they published
- 26:29Speaker 7: that story, which was before the debate.
- 26:31Speaker 16: Correct. I don't know what the booking situation was, but
- 26:33Speaker 16: it wasn't because I didn't want them. I'm sure I
- 26:35Speaker 16: will be the day Let's book. I'm sure I said
- 26:37Speaker 16: that day Let's book.
- 26:38Speaker 4: That did they?
- 26:39Speaker 7: Yeah, you put on a Democrat and you allowed the
- 26:42Speaker 7: Democrat to rip on the report as a Rupert Murdoch
- 26:46Speaker 7: sponsored hit piece.
- 26:47Speaker 4: No, No, it's just that we're going to do.
- 26:50Speaker 16: If we're going to do this, let's just stick to
- 26:54Speaker 16: the facts here, Okay, when there is a damnating report.
- 26:57Speaker 10: That's what I've been doing all along. I'm wondering about
- 27:01Speaker 10: what you just said.
- 27:01Speaker 7: Didn't dismiss the biggest story of the century when it
- 27:04Speaker 7: comes to presidential politics, and one of us did.
- 27:07Speaker 2: Oh that was beautiful, wasn't it.
- 27:09Speaker 3: And now you've got Jake Tappa out there, the Russian
- 27:12Speaker 3: collusion hoax spreader, the Biden cognitive decline cover up participant.
- 27:17Speaker 3: Now he wants the media to be aggressive about Donald
- 27:21Speaker 3: Trump's health.
- 27:21Speaker 8: Records, worry less about politeness when it comes to these
- 27:26Speaker 8: health issues, and needs to be even more aggressive when
- 27:30Speaker 8: it comes to demanding transparency on health issues when it
- 27:34Speaker 8: comes to the president. President Trump, while he appears healthy,
- 27:38Speaker 8: he has not been transparent about his health records. And
- 27:41Speaker 8: I think that that's something that the American people have
- 27:43Speaker 8: a rate.
- 27:44Speaker 3: To the audacity is breathtaking now to the WNBA. And
- 27:49Speaker 3: here is the woman that the Biden administration swapped for
- 27:52Speaker 3: the merchant of death after she got her self arrested
- 27:55Speaker 3: on drug charges in Russia. Here is Britney Grin now
- 27:58Speaker 3: on the bench seemingly mouthing trash and saying, effing white girl.
- 28:06Speaker 3: Could it been about Caitlin Clarkeye wonder? And here she
- 28:10Speaker 3: is in a postmatch interview just being a delight BG.
- 28:15Speaker 13: Right now you have ten points by rebounds. We see
- 28:17Speaker 13: that Atlanta dream as being veried. Right now, she's talking
- 28:21Speaker 13: to the reps about holding. We're going to send it
- 28:29Speaker 13: back to you guys.
- 28:31Speaker 3: And to make the league even less appealing, the Minnesota
- 28:34Speaker 3: Lynks decided to hold in front of a mostly empty stadium,
- 28:38Speaker 3: a moment of silence for George Floyd. You remember him,
- 28:41Speaker 3: the fella who died with a fatal level of ventanyl
- 28:44Speaker 3: in his system and who had a long record of
- 28:46Speaker 3: criminality and violence, including against women.
- 28:49Speaker 2: Yes, the w NBA thought this was a good idea.
- 28:53Speaker 17: Thank you guys for taking a minute to fire the
- 28:55Speaker 17: light George Boyle. George is a father, a brother, and.
- 29:01Speaker 5: Like every lie that.
- 29:02Speaker 17: Club meaning his death exposes the folls that are sellular
- 29:07Speaker 17: justice and criminal institutions today and his five year anniversary
- 29:11Speaker 17: reminds us that provides continue the final against criminal, racial,
- 29:15Speaker 17: and social injustices.
- 29:25Speaker 2: We cannot stay silent.
- 29:26Speaker 1: Every life deserves respect, indignity. Thank you.
- 29:30Speaker 3: Yes, every life should be respected, including the life of
- 29:33Speaker 3: Floyd's female victims. That includes the victim of an aggravated
- 29:38Speaker 3: robbery with a deadly weapon in which George Floyd and
- 29:41Speaker 3: five others forced their way into a woman's apartment and
- 29:45Speaker 3: where Floyd pushed a pistol against the abdomen of the
- 29:49Speaker 3: female victim, threatening her life. That's the character WNBA want
- 29:54Speaker 3: to elevate to hero status, deserving of a tribute on
- 29:58Speaker 3: the fifth anniversary of his death. Joining me now is
- 30:01Speaker 3: American Culture Project Senior fellow and school choice advocate Corey DeAngelis.
- 30:07Speaker 3: Corey is the WNBA determined to fail? Why doesn't want
- 30:13Speaker 3: to repel so much of its potential audience with this
- 30:17Speaker 3: sort of activism.
- 30:19Speaker 1: Yeah, the WNBA is burning itself into the ground with
- 30:23Speaker 1: these kind of publicity stunts. They should focus on sports,
- 30:26Speaker 1: but they're not so good at that, so I guess
- 30:27Speaker 1: they're focusing on all of this political ideology and getting
- 30:30Speaker 1: it onto the court. But look, you can't make this
- 30:33Speaker 1: stuff up. They've operated at a loss each year since
- 30:36Speaker 1: its inception about thirty years ago, and last year they
- 30:40Speaker 1: operated at about a fifty million dollar loss, about five
- 30:44Speaker 1: times the average loss each year in the WNBA. So
- 30:49Speaker 1: I mean, you just can't make this stuff up. And look,
- 30:54Speaker 1: the stadium is empty. You can see it on the screen.
- 30:57Speaker 1: Basically based on their track record of not having an audience.
- 31:01Speaker 1: They have a moment of silence basically every game. So
- 31:04Speaker 1: this is not so new, since's no one's there anyway.
- 31:09Speaker 3: Well, yes, there's involuntary moments of silence. And yet you've
- 31:13Speaker 3: got again the activism within the league from the players
- 31:17Speaker 3: pushing to have pay parity with male stars. But as
- 31:22Speaker 3: you've just explained, this is a league that doesn't make money.
- 31:25Speaker 3: So how can they possibly hope to boost the salaries
- 31:29Speaker 3: of their stars and have them to sort have them
- 31:32Speaker 3: have the sort of resources that the NBA players have.
- 31:37Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean that's exactly right. You can't call for
- 31:39Speaker 1: equal pay when you don't have equal profitability. And the
- 31:42Speaker 1: NBA is just more interesting to watch, and this league
- 31:46Speaker 1: they don't know what they're doing. And they're taking these
- 31:48Speaker 1: political stunts to the court. They deserve everything that's coming
- 31:52Speaker 1: to them. They should they should shudder already, they should
- 31:55Speaker 1: have shut down a long time ago, with operating it
- 31:57Speaker 1: in three decades, having no profitability, having millions of dollars
- 32:02Speaker 1: and losses every single year. And so this is just
- 32:05Speaker 1: another reason why that we should not watch THEWNBA.
- 32:10Speaker 3: Corey, Let's talk about Harvard. Now, they're in a world
- 32:13Speaker 3: of paying. The Trump administration is not letting up on
- 32:16Speaker 3: holding the college responsible for its discriminatory practice, for its
- 32:20Speaker 3: tolerance of anti Semitism on its campus.
- 32:24Speaker 2: Tell me what the latest is here.
- 32:26Speaker 3: The federal funding cuts are going through and there are
- 32:30Speaker 3: attempts to ban international students from enrolling at Harvard.
- 32:36Speaker 12: Yeah.
- 32:36Speaker 1: Look, Harvard played stupid games. Now they're winning stupid prizes.
- 32:39Speaker 1: They're losing tons of money. Trump's already blocked billions and
- 32:43Speaker 1: billions of dollars from going to that university, which raises
- 32:45Speaker 1: the question, why would this elite institution that already has
- 32:49Speaker 1: a fifty three billion dollar endowment that are sitting on.
- 32:53Speaker 1: They charge students about sixty thousand dollars per year in tuition.
- 32:57Speaker 1: They they're flushed with cash. They have so much money,
- 33:00Speaker 1: why do they need a scent of taxpayer money to
- 33:03Speaker 1: begin with? So a lot of people didn't even realize
- 33:05Speaker 1: that they were getting so much taxpayer funding before this
- 33:10Speaker 1: whole debacle kind of unfolded. So a lot of people
- 33:14Speaker 1: are seeing that this was regressive to begin with, a
- 33:16Speaker 1: lot of people who will never go to college, who
- 33:19Speaker 1: are paying for the college activities of well off, well
- 33:25Speaker 1: to do people in the ivy leagues. It is just
- 33:27Speaker 1: preposterous to begin with. But Trump, I'm glad he's leaning
- 33:30Speaker 1: the way on this issue. These universities that are just
- 33:34Speaker 1: the ideological breeding grounds for left wing indoctrination, they shouldn't
- 33:39Speaker 1: get a scent of taxpayer money.
- 33:43Speaker 3: Well, you talked about being ideological breeding grounds for left
- 33:46Speaker 3: wing indoctrination, and the data bear is that out. Have
- 33:50Speaker 3: a look at this graph showing that Harvard is an
- 33:53Speaker 3: echo chamber. It's got less than three percent of its
- 33:57Speaker 3: faculty identifying as conservative, and seventy eight percent there are
- 34:03Speaker 3: left or very left. Around twenty percent say they are moderate, though, Corey,
- 34:08Speaker 3: I would imagine at Harvard calling yourself a moderate means
- 34:12Speaker 3: you're a socialist instead of a communist.
- 34:15Speaker 1: Yeah, the moderates are just Marxists who don't want to
- 34:18Speaker 1: admit it. At Harvard, so yeah, it's a one side institution.
- 34:21Speaker 1: Less than three percent identify as conservatives, and that's their
- 34:24Speaker 1: own student newspaper reporting this about their own faculty. So
- 34:29Speaker 1: this is a big deal and it shows that there
- 34:31Speaker 1: are more of a political organization than a educational organization.
- 34:37Speaker 1: And if you look at where the money goes, I
- 34:39Speaker 1: mean you look at Open Secrets, ninety five percent of
- 34:42Speaker 1: political contributions from people affiliated with Harvard University go to
- 34:46Speaker 1: Democrats each year. It's insane how one sided this is.
- 34:50Speaker 1: And they again, we should go further than pulling billions
- 34:53Speaker 1: of dollars in taxpayer money. We should revoke their tax
- 34:56Speaker 1: exempt status because of their political nature.
- 35:01Speaker 3: Now, Donald Trump's big beautiful bill, that's what it's called,
- 35:05Speaker 3: has passed the House and your passion project Corey. School
- 35:08Speaker 3: choice was one of the policy areas covered in the
- 35:12Speaker 3: Babay Bay tell me about that.
- 35:15Speaker 1: As this huge look. Trump won the parent vote by
- 35:17Speaker 1: nine points after campaigning on nationwide school choice and abolishing
- 35:21Speaker 1: the Department of Education. This is popular with the American public,
- 35:25Speaker 1: and red states right now are already passing school choice policies,
- 35:29Speaker 1: including my home state of Texas becoming the sixteenth state
- 35:33Speaker 1: to go all in on school choice. This package in
- 35:36Speaker 1: the Big Beautiful Bill, also includes a federal tax credit
- 35:39Speaker 1: which would supercharge that school choice momentum already happening in
- 35:43Speaker 1: the Republican controlled states. But it would also expand educational
- 35:47Speaker 1: opportunities to families in blue states like California and New York.
- 35:52Speaker 1: So this is a big win. It's five billion dollars,
- 35:55Speaker 1: it's a start, and hopefully once families get a taste
- 35:58Speaker 1: of school choice in those blue states will demand their
- 36:00Speaker 1: state legislatures go all into.
- 36:05Speaker 3: Now you mentioned the clear mandate that Trump has. He
- 36:12Speaker 3: campaigned on a platform of dramatic change, and part of
- 36:15Speaker 3: that was abolishing the Department of Education. But a federal
- 36:20Speaker 3: judge has now blocked the Trump administration from carrying out
- 36:24Speaker 3: the President's executive order to dismantle the Department of Education.
- 36:28Speaker 2: What else can you tell me about this? Does that
- 36:30Speaker 2: mean that policy is over?
- 36:34Speaker 1: This is the clearest example of judicial activism that I've
- 36:37Speaker 1: ever seen. This guy was appointed by Democrat Joe Biden.
- 36:40Speaker 1: He has a history of donating to the Democrat Party.
- 36:44Speaker 1: He's in lockstep with the teachers union doing their bidding.
- 36:48Speaker 1: Randy Weingarten, the head of the AFT, the largest teacher
- 36:52Speaker 1: re union in the country in the United States, she
- 36:55Speaker 1: celebrated the decision. She was the main plaintiff in the
- 36:57Speaker 1: decision as well. And so this is just protection of
- 37:00Speaker 1: special interest teachers unions more than anything else. But the
- 37:04Speaker 1: fight isn't over yet. This same judge, his last ruling
- 37:08Speaker 1: that was a pro dei racist ruling got overturned at
- 37:12Speaker 1: our US Supreme Court. I expect this one will also
- 37:16Speaker 1: get overturned as well. So Trump is still in the
- 37:18Speaker 1: fight here. This short term loss with judicial activism is
- 37:22Speaker 1: not going to make us lose.
- 37:23Speaker 3: The war, now, Corey, that does seem to be some
- 37:26Speaker 3: sort of a judicial insurrection happening at the moment in
- 37:29Speaker 3: the US. It seems every single policy is being frustrated
- 37:36Speaker 3: through the courts with these small time judges, activist judges
- 37:41Speaker 3: frustrating the Trump administration and not allowing it to press
- 37:44Speaker 3: ahead with its mandate. It may ultimately get overturned and
- 37:48Speaker 3: become policy, but in the meantime they're not doing what
- 37:52Speaker 3: they were elected to do.
- 37:54Speaker 1: That's right. They are more political pawns than judges. They're
- 37:57Speaker 1: supposed to be unbiased, they're supposed to follow the rule
- 38:00Speaker 1: of law, but they don't a lot of the times.
- 38:02Speaker 1: They're less accountable than the politicians and the legislature because
- 38:05Speaker 1: you can't vote them out. So this guy got appointed
- 38:07Speaker 1: by Joe Biden, and he's going to do whatever Joe
- 38:10Speaker 1: Biden wants him to do. And so this puts people
- 38:13Speaker 1: in limbo. It puts the American people in limbo, and
- 38:15Speaker 1: that's going to hurt the Democrats in the next election
- 38:18Speaker 1: because of all this back and forth. But at the
- 38:20Speaker 1: end of the day, the Conservatives control of the Supreme
- 38:24Speaker 1: Court most of the time here in the United States,
- 38:26Speaker 1: so I think will ultimately win the war, even if
- 38:30Speaker 1: we lose the battle in the short term. So the
- 38:32Speaker 1: Democrats are pulling out all the stops. They lose in
- 38:34Speaker 1: the legislature, so they fight it through the courts to
- 38:37Speaker 1: try to stop the will of the people, but they're
- 38:40Speaker 1: going to lose at the end of the day, and
- 38:41Speaker 1: so I'm.
- 38:42Speaker 4: Okay with that.
- 38:44Speaker 3: Well, parents had a win in California District Court there
- 38:49Speaker 3: has ruled that parents have the right to opt out
- 38:52Speaker 3: of gender identity ideology being presented to their kids. Most
- 38:57Speaker 3: Californian public schools prohibit parents from opting their children out
- 39:01Speaker 3: of these lessons. This is a positive move forward, particularly
- 39:06Speaker 3: in a state like California, which is the forefront of
- 39:09Speaker 3: so much of this madness story.
- 39:12Speaker 1: Yeah, this is a huge win. This judge ruled based
- 39:14Speaker 1: on the First Amendment to free speech that the school
- 39:18Speaker 1: was violating the First Amendment rights of parents by keeping
- 39:22Speaker 1: them in the dark, by not allowing them to opt out,
- 39:25Speaker 1: and by essentially using compelled government speech making kids learn
- 39:30Speaker 1: this about this gender ideology curriculum. Families now will be
- 39:34Speaker 1: able to have that information up front, and they will
- 39:37Speaker 1: also be able to opt out if they're not happy
- 39:40Speaker 1: with the values that are being instilled with their children.
- 39:43Speaker 1: So for this to happen in California, I'm very optimistic
- 39:47Speaker 1: this is going to spread to other states too. And
- 39:50Speaker 1: this is how it always should have been. But we
- 39:51Speaker 1: should take it a step further. You should obviously be
- 39:54Speaker 1: able to opt out of your kids school if it's
- 39:56Speaker 1: not alignment with your values, but you should also be
- 39:58Speaker 1: able to take that money with you you to another
- 40:00Speaker 1: school that is aligned with your values. This is a
- 40:03Speaker 1: great argument for school choice to have the money follow
- 40:06Speaker 1: the child to a school that best meets your needs.
- 40:09Speaker 3: Corideangelus, thanks so much for your time.
- 40:12Speaker 1: Hey, thank you so much for having me still to come.
- 40:14Speaker 3: Why Disney executives want the ladies have the need to
- 40:17Speaker 3: tone down their anti Trump hysteria.
- 40:20Speaker 2: Kinsey Schofield joins.
- 40:31Speaker 3: Welcome back joining me now, celebrity and royal commentator Kinsey Schofield. Kinsey,
- 40:36Speaker 3: Let's start with David and Victoria Beckham. They're reportedly upset
- 40:40Speaker 3: with their eldest son Brooklyn because he and wife Nikola
- 40:44Speaker 3: have befriended their former pals, Prince Harry and Meghan mark All.
- 40:48Speaker 2: Kinseywier. Why would that be a problem.
- 40:52Speaker 18: I think it's a problem because Harry and Meghan not
- 40:55Speaker 18: only have become such a toxic brand, and they realize
- 40:58Speaker 18: they're so savvy when it comes to Hollywood and when
- 41:01Speaker 18: it comes to Q scores, that they realized that any
- 41:05Speaker 18: association with Harry and Meghan lowers their value Brooklyn and Nicholas,
- 41:12Speaker 18: but also I just think that they are truly so
- 41:15Speaker 18: close to the British royal family. Today, David was named
- 41:18Speaker 18: ambassador for the King's Foundation and their bond was on
- 41:22Speaker 18: full display at the twenty twenty five Chelsea Flower Show,
- 41:25Speaker 18: where David and the King were joking about a birthday
- 41:28Speaker 18: gift the King had sent David Beckham. Remember this is
- 41:30Speaker 18: a man that waited in line to pay his respects
- 41:33Speaker 18: to Queen Elizabeth for eleven hours, David Beckham and I
- 41:37Speaker 18: think that he just wants to ensure that the British
- 41:40Speaker 18: royal family feels respected.
- 41:44Speaker 3: And I think there may also be fears that through
- 41:48Speaker 3: their son, unwittingly, information can get to Harry and Meghan
- 41:51Speaker 3: that will end up in a Netflix documentary or the
- 41:54Speaker 3: next book or podcast, and it's the last thing that
- 41:58Speaker 3: want to be doing to the Royals now. Harry and
- 42:00Speaker 3: Meghan have also been accused of hypocrisy after they restructured
- 42:05Speaker 3: their staff, creating what has been labeled the Montecito Royal Court.
- 42:10Speaker 2: What does that meg Kin see what's happening?
- 42:12Speaker 18: So it's just this new structure for their employees. But Rita,
- 42:15Speaker 18: I wish you had a picture of all of their
- 42:17Speaker 18: new employees because can I just tell you it looks
- 42:21Speaker 18: like a ditty white party. I've never seen such a
- 42:23Speaker 18: sea of white people. And if I were, you know,
- 42:27Speaker 18: if I were a troublemaker, I might accuse Harry and
- 42:30Speaker 18: Meghan of unconscious bias in the employment department, looking at
- 42:34Speaker 18: all the new faces that are coming on to work
- 42:37Speaker 18: for Harry and Meghan independently and together for their entertainment ventures.
- 42:42Speaker 18: And if history repeats itself as much as Harry wines
- 42:44Speaker 18: that it does, both Harry and Meghan will continue to
- 42:47Speaker 18: reject any and all sound advice and.
- 42:50Speaker 10: Will potentially treat their staff poorly. So good luck.
- 42:54Speaker 3: Now let's move on to the reports that the Disney
- 42:58Speaker 3: CEO and as well as the ABC News boss have.
- 43:02Speaker 2: Told the hosts of the View to dial.
- 43:05Speaker 3: Down the anti Trump commentary on their program. Kinsey calling
- 43:09Speaker 3: it anti Trump commentary barely covers it. It's unhinged hate
- 43:14Speaker 3: and hyperbole day in and day out.
- 43:18Speaker 18: And I'm sure it won't surprise you to know that
- 43:20Speaker 18: there has been some pushback from the host Now, Trump,
- 43:24Speaker 18: continuing his battle with the media, is in mediation right
- 43:28Speaker 18: now with Paramount Global over a twenty billion dollar lawsuit
- 43:31Speaker 18: regarding CBS News a sixty minutes interview with Kamala Harris.
- 43:35Speaker 18: He also recently secured fifteen million from ABC and an
- 43:39Speaker 18: apology over false claims by anchor George Stephanopolis. I know
- 43:43Speaker 18: he sued Meta before he sued X. He will chew
- 43:46Speaker 18: you up and spit you out if you clash with him.
- 43:50Speaker 18: ABC has learned the hard way, and they're trying to
- 43:52Speaker 18: avoid this going any further than it already has.
- 43:57Speaker 3: Well, you know what, they wanted to use law fair
- 43:59Speaker 3: to roy him. They shouldn't be surprised if some of
- 44:02Speaker 3: it comes back and they're going to be held to
- 44:04Speaker 3: account with some of the defamation rules in the country. Now,
- 44:09Speaker 3: Justin Baldoni talking about defamation, his legal team has retracted
- 44:15Speaker 3: their Tayler Swift subpoena in the legal fight with Blake
- 44:19Speaker 3: Lively Kinsey.
- 44:20Speaker 2: Why would they do that?
- 44:21Speaker 3: Why would Baldoni's legal team let Taylor Swift off the hook?
- 44:27Speaker 18: I'll tell you I because Taylor Swift's father, Scott Swift,
- 44:30Speaker 18: willingly provided the information that they were looking for as
- 44:34Speaker 18: part of a deal to prevent his daughter from any
- 44:36Speaker 18: further involvement with the Blake versus Justin drama.
- 44:41Speaker 10: So they had to agree to withdraw their subpoena.
- 44:43Speaker 18: And it's Taylor's father that stepped in and gave them
- 44:46Speaker 18: the requested information. Now, he also provided Justin Baldoni's team
- 44:51Speaker 18: with the bombshell claim that Blake Lively threatened to leak
- 44:54Speaker 18: his daughter's text messages if Taylor did not publicly support her.
- 44:59Speaker 18: This gives us exactly the perfect idea of how vicious
- 45:03Speaker 18: this truly has become behind the scenes.
- 45:08Speaker 2: Absolutely vicious.
- 45:09Speaker 3: And if that's accurate, If her father has done that,
- 45:14Speaker 3: then that friendship isn't just a little bit under strained,
- 45:18Speaker 3: it's well and truly done and dusted. If Taylor Swift
- 45:22Speaker 3: is being threatened with having years of her private text
- 45:26Speaker 3: messages release, that's pretty down and dirty.
- 45:32Speaker 18: Yeah, and Scott has defended her so much her father,
- 45:35Speaker 18: Taylor Swift's father is a savvy man. He financed her
- 45:40Speaker 18: entire career coming up. He has a lot to lose
- 45:43Speaker 18: if Taylor's reputation takes a hit because of Blake. That's
- 45:47Speaker 18: years and money down the drain that he's sacrificed. So
- 45:50Speaker 18: he is going to stand up and try to protect
- 45:52Speaker 18: his daughter.
- 45:55Speaker 3: I do wonder though, whether some damaging text messages over
- 45:58Speaker 3: the years may be leak. Doubt if the Blake Lively
- 46:02Speaker 3: side wants to retaliate. I mean, this is just this
- 46:06Speaker 3: battle was over nothing. They started a fight over something
- 46:10Speaker 3: that they should have just allowed to die down. It
- 46:13Speaker 3: would have been the story would have been done in
- 46:15Speaker 3: a week or two of Blake Lively being rather unpleasant,
- 46:19Speaker 3: unpleasant instead.
- 46:20Speaker 2: Of being America's golden girl.
- 46:22Speaker 3: And now it's this massive legal fight that is going
- 46:27Speaker 3: to absolutely drain their resources and completely damage their reputations.
- 46:32Speaker 2: Talking about damaged reputations.
- 46:34Speaker 3: Controversial model, when influencer Chrisy Teagan has reportedly undergone a
- 46:40Speaker 3: hairline procedure having her hairline surgically lower, it surely not
- 46:46Speaker 3: why would she do this?
- 46:49Speaker 18: Here's I have very limited commentary on this. I see
- 46:52Speaker 18: Christy Tigan America's favorite Saberably, she doesn't need a new hairline.
- 46:58Speaker 10: She needs an exorcism.
- 47:00Speaker 18: I feel like she had the wrong procedure done. She
- 47:03Speaker 18: needs an exorcism.
- 47:08Speaker 3: Wow, this is it's actually fairly major surgery.
- 47:11Speaker 2: I'm shocked she would do that.
- 47:12Speaker 3: Gosh, I mean just I don't know where a little
- 47:14Speaker 3: hair extension piece much easier, uh, Milania Trump. She's used
- 47:19Speaker 3: AI in a very clever fashion. It's voicing her audio
- 47:24Speaker 3: built book. She's used AI to narrate the audio book,
- 47:27Speaker 3: but in her own voice.
- 47:30Speaker 2: Tell me about this, Kinsey. I don't know if this
- 47:32Speaker 2: was possible.
- 47:33Speaker 10: Yeah, I think it's like seven hours. And this is
- 47:36Speaker 10: forward thinking. You know that moves.
- 47:39Speaker 18: I think it moves the first lady in at the
- 47:42Speaker 18: forefront of publishing innovation. And the reason why I'm so
- 47:47Speaker 18: excited about this is because this she at the same
- 47:51Speaker 18: time she is fighting a revenge porn, she's fighting people
- 47:55Speaker 18: using AI to create inappropriate content.
- 47:59Speaker 10: So you under it. You see that she appreciates what
- 48:02Speaker 10: it's capable of doing.
- 48:04Speaker 18: But she's also trying to jump ahead of any problems
- 48:06Speaker 18: and stop them before they happen.
- 48:10Speaker 2: And just before you go.
- 48:12Speaker 3: There's speculation as to who the new James Bond is
- 48:15Speaker 3: going to be. Actor Henry Golding has said that James
- 48:19Speaker 3: Bond should remain a white British male to.
- 48:21Speaker 2: Be faithful to the source material.
- 48:23Speaker 3: However, he said that if he was asked to be
- 48:26Speaker 3: Daniel Craig's successor, he would be an idiot to turn
- 48:29Speaker 3: it down.
- 48:30Speaker 4: What do we have?
- 48:31Speaker 2: You got a tip for me? Who's going to be
- 48:33Speaker 2: the next James Bond?
- 48:34Speaker 11: Oh?
- 48:34Speaker 18: I don't know who's going to I have no clue.
- 48:37Speaker 18: But Henry Golding, what a great answer. I love that
- 48:39Speaker 18: he didn't to go woke, so he's getting all my money.
- 48:42Speaker 3: He won't go broke, No, absolutely, you know what, I'd
- 48:47Speaker 3: be happy to see it be him if he's If
- 48:49Speaker 3: that's the argument at KINSI Schofield, thank you.
- 48:52Speaker 2: So much for your time tonight, and that's all the
- 48:54Speaker 2: time we've got.
- 48:55Speaker 3: I'll see you at eleven tomorrow and I don't go
- 48:58Speaker 3: anywhere Near's night is up neck
- 49:03Speaker 6: Si
