00:00:00.000
boy, they're hitting us on all fronts. It's just a never-ending battle. This government
00:00:06.060
has no interest in trying to do better. It's not interested in trying to come up with nuanced
00:00:11.180
policies or actually solve problems. They just want to control and tax. And then tax is the
00:00:17.320
hammer they love to use to achieve the first thing. But of course, it irreparably, I should
00:00:22.700
say irreparably, things recover, but it damages the economy. It damages people. And then with
00:00:26.980
this media mess, yes, it's damaging trust. If nobody trusts what the media puts out there,
00:00:31.960
they won't tune in. I mean, we're accountable to you. If I kept feeding you a bunch of BS on this
00:00:38.360
show and kept lying to you, or just putting out shaky things, or if Dave was doing so with the
00:00:45.240
news copy, things like that, our subscribers are going to say, I'm not paying to get this garbage
00:00:50.000
fed to me. They will leave. We're accountable to them that way. And that's the only way you can do
00:00:56.400
it. But when you force everybody, you force the whole country to contribute and put money in,
00:01:02.860
then there's no accountability whatsoever. So they can feed you whatever they please.
00:01:07.080
And I mean, as we said, some of them might be very honest goods, journalists and stories. But once
00:01:11.400
the trust's lost, they all get labeled as the parasites taking subsidies and things such as
00:01:16.360
that. So everybody's losing here. Everybody's losing. And that's the final part of every story
00:01:22.180
we keep talking about with these things, whether it's the carbon tax, whether it's these media
00:01:24.860
ballots, they aren't working, they're doing what they told us they were going to do in
00:01:28.760
the first place. So why do we keep doing it? All right.
