Speaker 1: On Scolus Oscodia.
Speaker 2: This is the Reader Panalty Show.
Speaker 3: Good evening and welcome to the Rita Paney Show.
Speaker 4: Coming up tonight, unrest in the streets of Melbourne as
Speaker 4: anti Israeli protesters target a Melbourne synagogue. Dan Wild will
Speaker 4: be with me shortly to discuss the Great Josh Hammer
Speaker 4: on the cases against President elect Donald Trump collapsing. Also
Speaker 4: joining me tonight's seventy Bastion on the proposed social media
Speaker 4: bands for under sixteen. They'll be able to access hardcore porn,
Speaker 4: but not Instagram and x. You will not believe how
Speaker 4: utterly incoherent this legislation is and Left is losing it
Speaker 4: again features the work of the ladies of the view.
Speaker 1: We lost the election. Wait a minute, we lost the election.
Speaker 1: We're miserable. Half of this country is miserable, and let's
Speaker 1: just tell the truth.
Speaker 5: We hate that he won.
Speaker 4: We hate but first joining me now is Deputy Executive
Speaker 4: Director of the Institute of Public Affairs Dan Wild. Dan
Speaker 4: New South Wales faces potential blackouts this week, with temperatures
Speaker 4: in Sydney tip to reach thirty nine degrees.
Speaker 3: Australian energy market operator.
Speaker 4: Is issued a lack of reserve warning for New South
Speaker 4: Wales from three point thirty to seven thirty PM, flagging
Speaker 4: that the energy deficit could be so severe it may
Speaker 4: trigger intentional power outages in parts of Sydney. Dan We've
Speaker 4: got the min's government telling people to run their air
Speaker 4: conditioners at warmer temperatures.
Speaker 3: To use less power.
Speaker 4: This is what we were warned about, that if you
Speaker 4: go down this road, you're going to have blackouts, intentional blackouts.
Speaker 6: Unbelievable.
Speaker 7: You know, for this to be happening in the year
Speaker 7: twenty twenty four in Australia is a result of policy decisions.
Speaker 6: All of this is avoidable. We've been talking about this.
Speaker 7: We've been talking about this ever since Scott Morrison signed
Speaker 7: Australia up to net zero, without any debate, without any discussion,
Speaker 7: without any analysis. We were warning that we will have
Speaker 7: blackouts in Australia. When you radically and rapidly decommission based
Speaker 7: low power from coal and you put renewables into the system,
Speaker 7: a weather dependent energy system, you are going to have
Speaker 7: blackouts and you are going to have astronomical price rises.
Speaker 6: Which is what we are seeing.
Speaker 7: This is a monumental failure of leadership over many years
Speaker 7: on both sides of politics who continue to go down
Speaker 7: the net zero path.
Speaker 6: You cannot run a nation on net zero.
Speaker 7: Humans have spent hundreds and hundreds of years getting out
Speaker 7: of an energy system that relies on Mother Nature to
Speaker 7: one that is more reliable, and now we're going backwards.
Speaker 7: This is a wake up call to all leaders to
Speaker 7: urgently stop the path that we're on.
Speaker 6: Now.
Speaker 4: We're in a per capita recession right now. It's something
Speaker 4: we mentioned on this program frequently, and the Australian reports
Speaker 4: today that this is the longest per capita recession we
Speaker 4: have had in the past fifty years. Economists are warning
Speaker 4: that this trend will continue. But Dan, we've got Treasurerer
Speaker 4: Jim Chalmers defending the Albanese government's record on economic management.
Speaker 4: How can he do that given these numbers and the
Speaker 4: numbers showing that Australian households are suffering the worst decline
Speaker 4: in living standards since the nineteen fifties.
Speaker 7: Well, it's good to see the Canabra bubble is finally
Speaker 7: caught up to this. I mean, we've been talking about
Speaker 7: this for months on end, that we're in a per
Speaker 7: capita recession and it's the longest since Whitlam. I mean,
Speaker 7: we've the IPA has pointed that out, you know, six
Speaker 7: months ago, that this is what's happening. So finally the
Speaker 7: mainstream media and the establishment and their favorite economists have
Speaker 7: finally caught up to the reality, which is that mass
Speaker 7: migration makes Australians poorer.
Speaker 6: What's happening. The only growth strategy of this.
Speaker 7: Government is population growth, not productivity growth. And as you know, Reto, yes,
Speaker 7: of course, if you bring more people into an economy,
Speaker 7: the size of the economic pie will get bigger. But
Speaker 7: the slice of that economic pie that every Australian is
Speaker 7: getting is getting smaller.
Speaker 6: And they've got no plan for.
Speaker 7: How to boost our productivity growth and instead doubling down
Speaker 7: on this failed migration strategy. So look, I think the
Speaker 7: government's got a real problem here. They don't have any
Speaker 7: way of growing the economy. This is a redistributionist government,
Speaker 7: not a growth government. So I think Jim Chalmers has
Speaker 7: been found, as we head to my EFO which will
Speaker 7: be coming out next month, has been found to not
Speaker 7: have any meaningful economic policies of your sleeve.
Speaker 4: If you want to know what Australia is going to
Speaker 4: look like if we had ten years of the Urban
Speaker 4: Easy government.
Speaker 3: Then look at Victoria.
Speaker 4: The state is broke, state taxes soaring, businesses are fleeing,
Speaker 4: and taxpayers are paying for Labour's massive infrastructure projects which
Speaker 4: have blown out by over forty billion and county.
Speaker 3: Just have a look at these three projects.
Speaker 4: There's plenty of others I could quote, but Melbourne Metro
Speaker 4: it's jumped up. The blowout there by four point seven billion.
Speaker 4: We've got the Northeast Link, the blowout there is ten
Speaker 4: point three billion, and the Westgate Tunnel is three point
Speaker 4: nine billion.
Speaker 3: Dan, you look.
Speaker 4: At how these projects are traveling and you can understand
Speaker 4: why the state is in the financial peril it's in.
Speaker 6: Well, that's exactly right.
Speaker 7: Victoria has been driven into the ground by a decade
Speaker 7: of bad policy decisions. And you know, they can't just
Speaker 7: blame it on COVID. This happened before COVID, has been
Speaker 7: happening after COVID, and the reality is that every single
Speaker 7: rock that you look under there's more debt. They keep
Speaker 7: discovering more debt every single day. I don't know whether
Speaker 7: anybody in the Victorian government actually knows the true state
Speaker 7: of Victoria's underlying fiscal position. It is now becoming increasingly
Speaker 7: apparent that the rest of Australia is going to have
Speaker 7: to bail out Victoria. Unlike in the Kennet era when
Speaker 7: there were similar issues in the early nineteen nineties, when
Speaker 7: Victoria was in a deep recession and Kennet largely restructured
Speaker 7: the economy sold off the assets to pay down the debt. Well,
Speaker 7: there's almost no assets left to sell off, so there's
Speaker 7: real problems. And now this government in Victoria is simply
Speaker 7: increasing taxes. It's the highest taxing government in the nation,
Speaker 7: the highest debt government in the nation, the highest spending
Speaker 7: government in the nation. And this is a warning to
Speaker 7: everyone else in Australia do not go down the path
Speaker 7: of Victoria, otherwise you will see significant economic calamity, businesses leaving,
Speaker 7: people leaving. It's going to take at least a decade
Speaker 7: to restructure and fix the mess the Victorians have now
Speaker 7: been left with.
Speaker 4: Day in Melbourne, let's turn our attention to a pro
Speaker 4: Palestinian protest that targeted a synagogue in Corfield last night
Speaker 4: while a conference on Israel's challenges and Opportunities in the Middle.
Speaker 3: East was being held inside.
Speaker 4: The locals did not take too kindly to that this
Speaker 4: is an area with a sizeable Jewish population, and they
Speaker 4: came out waving Israeli and Australian flags. Dan specialists police
Speaker 4: circle the pro Palestinian protesters who were holding signs saying
Speaker 4: things like nothing is more anti Semitic than Zionism. This
Speaker 4: is not what you want to see in the streets
Speaker 4: of Melbourne or any Australian city.
Speaker 7: Well, we're losing our country, reader, because our migration program
Speaker 7: has failed. You know, Australia is a lot of umping
Speaker 7: ground for foreign conflicts. We are a welcoming nation and
Speaker 7: a tolerant nation, but that depends on reciprocity and people
Speaker 7: coming here who share our values and tolerance is a
Speaker 7: fundamental Australian value. And plainly there are a number of
Speaker 7: those who have migrated here in recent times who do
Speaker 7: not share those values, and we have to really look
Speaker 7: at our migration system and say, well, how do these
Speaker 7: people get into our country. There's far more worthy people
Speaker 7: who want to be here and want to make a contribution,
Speaker 7: who should be at the front of the queue. And frankly,
Speaker 7: if you're going to engage in violence and antagonism towards
Speaker 7: one group of Australians based on their religion, then you
Speaker 7: don't have a place in our nation. It's as simple
Speaker 7: as that. What worries merit is that many of the
Speaker 7: people that are engaging in these so called protests are citizens.
Speaker 7: They're actually citizens of our country, so they can't really
Speaker 7: be deported. Yes, you can look at stripping their citizenship,
Speaker 7: but that's an open question from a legal perspective whether
Speaker 7: you can.
Speaker 6: Do that or not.
Speaker 7: So look, we've got a real issue on our hands,
Speaker 7: and so far our political leaders haven't been willing to
Speaker 7: do the hard yards actually talk about the fact that
Speaker 7: there are many citizens in our country that have these
Speaker 7: intolerant views and what are we going to do about
Speaker 7: it as a community.
Speaker 4: Well, further on that, in Sydney and Liverpool, a tattoo
Speaker 4: artist there says he's not supportive of terrorists, but he
Speaker 4: has been offering free tattoos of dead HAZBULLA leader hasan
Speaker 4: Nazarella for a month after being inundated with requests.
Speaker 3: What do you make of this, Dan.
Speaker 7: Well, it's exactly what we're talking about. I mean, this
Speaker 7: kind of behavior has been condoned and enabled by lack
Speaker 7: of political leadership. I mean from day one of the
Speaker 7: October seven attacks. We've had political leadership in Australia that
Speaker 7: has been lacking, certainly from the federal government. I think
Speaker 7: Chris Min's in New South Wales has been a bit
Speaker 7: better on this, but I don't think he's been as
Speaker 7: outspoken as he potentially could be.
Speaker 6: You know.
Speaker 7: So we've got a real social cohesion problem. There's no
Speaker 7: denying it anymore. And mainstream Australians look at this behavior
Speaker 7: and they say, why, you know, what has happened to
Speaker 7: the country that I live in? What is the country?
Speaker 7: What has happened to the country that I moved to where?
Speaker 7: You know, ten years ago, twenty years ago, this kind
Speaker 7: of behavior was unthinkable. Now it seems to be happening routinely.
Speaker 7: So you know, like I say, we've got a long
Speaker 7: way to go as a community to fix these really
Speaker 7: difficult issues. A good place to start is to reduce
Speaker 7: the size of the program, fix the intake, and then
Speaker 7: we can deal with the issues that we have on
Speaker 7: the ground.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 4: Finally, Dan, I will be speaking to Stephanie Bastian about
Speaker 4: this shortly, but I wanted to get your take on
Speaker 4: government officials admitting that there's nothing in Labors proposed social
Speaker 4: media bands for under sixteens that would stop the Safety
Speaker 4: Commissioner from requiring digital IDB used to verify the age
Speaker 4: of users.
Speaker 3: And that's all of us. Have a listen, we've got
Speaker 3: to pass a load.
Speaker 8: Once I go through the Senate, that's it. I don't
Speaker 8: get to touch it again. Does know there anything in
Speaker 8: the law that says that, that says.
Speaker 9: The saidec quis nothing on miss law that says that.
Speaker 8: Okay, thank you.
Speaker 3: This is terribly worrying.
Speaker 4: This seems to be going through at record speed. We
Speaker 4: know that many in the Coalition are favoring these bands.
Speaker 4: I think there's a lot of misunderstanding about how these
Speaker 4: platforms work, how they're used, and it is a backdoor
Speaker 4: way of introducing digital IDs, something that has been rejected
Speaker 4: by the Australian people, something that's wildly unpopular and we
Speaker 4: did not.
Speaker 3: Vote for that.
Speaker 6: That's right, reader.
Speaker 7: I think Senator Canavan and his colleagues such as Senator
Speaker 7: Antique have played a vital role in debate here. As
Speaker 7: you rightly say, it's record time. That less than twenty
Speaker 7: four hour consultation period is frankly absurd. There's these major
Speaker 7: issues around digital identification and privacy many other issues.
Speaker 6: Besides.
Speaker 7: The Safety Commissioner used to be the Children's e safety Commissioner,
Speaker 7: you remember, and now she's engaging in these global crusades
Speaker 7: around censorship, so we don't have any confidence in that office.
Speaker 7: So yes, I fully understand and respect the concerns of
Speaker 7: parents about how kids interact with social media, but we
Speaker 7: need to have a proper debate, not a rushed twenty
Speaker 7: four hour consultation process which is not dignifying this issue
Speaker 7: at all.
Speaker 4: And yeah, absolutely right about these Safety Commissioner. She has
Speaker 4: continuously politicized that office. It was supposed to be about
Speaker 4: the protection of children, but he has morphed into something
Speaker 4: entirely different. Dan Wild, thanks for your time tonight. Let's
Speaker 4: talk more about this social media ban for under sixteens
Speaker 4: with my next guest, Women's Forum Australia head of Advocacy,
Speaker 4: Stephanie Bastian. Stephanie, let's listen to Matt Canavan again questioning
Speaker 4: ACMO officials incentive hearings on whether the government social media
Speaker 4: ban for under sixteens applies to pornography platforms like pornhub.
Speaker 3: You will not believe this interact.
Speaker 8: But if YouTube's covered. I mean, there's a video sharing
Speaker 8: for non explicit content, video content. Well, wouldn't pornhub be
Speaker 8: cover it's porn covered.
Speaker 5: I think they have very different purposes.
Speaker 8: Explain that to me.
Speaker 5: I think, sorry, I think this is.
Speaker 9: Under the definition. We wouldn't see porn hub as falling
Speaker 9: within scope. It's not.
Speaker 8: Just explain to me in simple terms, how if YouTube
Speaker 8: is covered, how would another video sharing service with explicit
Speaker 8: material Medley not be covered?
Speaker 9: So against center. It comes back to the commitment that
Speaker 9: the government's already made in relations And I'm not asking
Speaker 9: for a commitment. I'm asking in the law. We're going
Speaker 9: to pass the law, not government's commitments. So in the law,
Speaker 9: how are these two services different? I think different and
Speaker 9: porn hub up completely different.
Speaker 8: I agree with that, But how are they differently defined
Speaker 8: in the law?
Speaker 4: Stephanie, A fourteen year old or thirteen year old can
Speaker 4: access hardcore porn but not use x or Instagram, even
Speaker 4: with parental permission. That can't be on social media, but
Speaker 4: they can see this extreme pornographic material.
Speaker 3: Does this seem sane to.
Speaker 10: You, well, good evening reader, this is an absolute joke.
Speaker 10: This bill is seriously flawed and it actually doesn't tackle
Speaker 10: any of the issues that are facing children. We've just
Speaker 10: looked at that clip on pornography. YouTubers banned, but porn
Speaker 10: tubers are porn hubbers not, even though we know there
Speaker 10: are issues with kids and sexual assault rising due to
Speaker 10: their access. We know that kids are being taught harmful
Speaker 10: gender ideology at school that's resulting in them taking drugs
Speaker 10: and undergoing surgeries that are irreversible the government won't investigate.
Speaker 10: We know that little girls are being exploited by their
Speaker 10: parents's influences and during followings of predatory men. There's nothing
Speaker 10: in this bill that tackles that, or deals with that,
Speaker 10: or prevents that from happening. This bill is a way
Speaker 10: for the government to look like it's doing something when
Speaker 10: it's not doing anything at all to deal with these
Speaker 10: issues that are harming children. It's a total cop out,
Speaker 10: and it's a.
Speaker 4: Total cop out from coalition MPs who are just going
Speaker 4: along with this because it might test well in focus groups.
Speaker 4: If you just take a minute to scrutinize the detail,
Speaker 4: it all falls apart.
Speaker 3: One of the questions.
Speaker 4: I don't know if you have an answer to this,
Speaker 4: but how's this policy going to be implemented without all
Speaker 4: of us submitting to age verification digital ID or providing
Speaker 4: some other form of age verification to access social media.
Speaker 4: How's a sixty year old going to prove they're over
Speaker 4: sixteen so they can be on these platforms.
Speaker 10: Well, this is a question the Government hasn't even answered,
Speaker 10: and in fact it's a reason why the cross Bench
Speaker 10: and the Coalition should be opposing it, one of many.
Speaker 10: I mean, this is a great concern. What about elder
Speaker 10: people who can barely log into their phones you alone
Speaker 10: get IDA uploaded. This is a way for them to
Speaker 10: connect with their families.
Speaker 6: There are a number of.
Speaker 10: Issues with this bill, including security issues and risks, and
Speaker 10: the government hasn't responded to them at all. You can't
Speaker 10: just pass a bill and say we'll work it out.
Speaker 10: At the end, you could be handing more power and
Speaker 10: more privacy over to government departments where they're not entitled
Speaker 10: to have it. This issue should be resolved before it's passed.
Speaker 10: I mean, quite frankly, this bill should be blocked.
Speaker 3: It absolutely should. It is underdone.
Speaker 4: There's scant detail about how it will be implemented, and
Speaker 4: it seems to be if that crucial part has been
Speaker 4: handballed to the office of the e Safety Commissioner, and
Speaker 4: that in itself is a massive worry. Now moving along,
Speaker 4: jaguars Woke rebrand is not going so well. They are
Speaker 4: being mocked far and wide for this effort. The mockery
Speaker 4: has extended to spoofs of the ad, which are actually,
Speaker 4: got to say, far more innovative and clever than the
Speaker 4: real thing.
Speaker 3: Sephanie.
Speaker 4: Jaguar's managing director, Rodent Glover, has called criticism of their
Speaker 4: ad vile and a blaze of intolerance.
Speaker 3: But isn't this just people.
Speaker 4: Who are sick of this sort of activism, corporate activism
Speaker 4: masquerading as an innovative commercial. There's nothing innovative about.
Speaker 10: It, absolutely not. The beast has gone out of their branding.
Speaker 10: I think people are sick of woke being rammed down
Speaker 10: their throats by these big corporates. I mean, this clip
Speaker 10: is something out of the Hunger Games. It's quite sad
Speaker 10: because once branded a masculine car, it's been totally neutralized
Speaker 10: or feminized whatever you like, which I think is really
Speaker 10: symptomatic of the culture going for today that the Left
Speaker 10: are pushing into our culture today, and I think that's
Speaker 10: very sad. For the legacy of the car as well.
Speaker 4: Just finally, Stephanie, was International Day for the Elimination of
Speaker 4: Violence against Women yesterday and your organization, Women's Forum Australia,
Speaker 4: launched a campaign last night to restore sex base rights
Speaker 4: in law and policies across state and federal jurisdictions. Tell
Speaker 4: me about this campaign and how people can support you.
Speaker 10: Well, we've launched this campaign because we need both state
Speaker 10: and federal legislators to tackle the issues that are harming
Speaker 10: women in policies. It's not just legislation, it's policies in schools,
Speaker 10: it's policies in prisons. It's state and federal legislation that
Speaker 10: needs to be amended, from the Employment Act to Discrimination Act.
Speaker 10: So this is the starting point for collective action. We
Speaker 10: encourage people to get onto our website to sign up,
Speaker 10: to follow the campaign, to sign the petition you can
Speaker 10: find at www dot Women's Forum Australa dot org, slash
Speaker 10: xx and really get involved because we need this for
Speaker 10: the future of our women and girls.
Speaker 3: Stephanie Bastian, thanks for your time. Still to come.
Speaker 4: Lefties losing it, plus the cases against Presidents elect Donald
Speaker 4: Trump are collapsing. Is the law fair over Josh Hammer
Speaker 4: as the details.
Speaker 3: Welcome back.
Speaker 4: Now it's time for lefties losing it. It's time to
Speaker 4: check in with the ladies of the view. And today
Speaker 4: we hear this colonel of truth from Joy behar the
Speaker 4: haters and they are miserable.
Speaker 2: Now what's in the air?
Speaker 1: What's we lost the election? Wait a minute, we lost
Speaker 1: the election. We're miserable. Half of this country is miserable.
Speaker 1: And let's just tell the truth. We hate that he won.
Speaker 11: We hate.
Speaker 1: And everybody's height and crazy young.
Speaker 3: Now they are miserable.
Speaker 4: Yes, we know, we know that. Not much Joy on
Speaker 4: the view set. Now listen, here is Joy unloads on
Speaker 4: a man whose audience is far, far greater than hers,
Speaker 4: Joe Rogan.
Speaker 3: She's upset about dragons.
Speaker 1: We went from water cronkite basically to this guy, Joe Rogan,
Speaker 1: who believes in dragons.
Speaker 3: I checked it.
Speaker 1: He believed he believes in dragon, Yes I did. And
Speaker 1: he also thinks that the dragons, like I guess, like
Speaker 1: dinosaur type type of animal.
Speaker 4: Oh, dear for the record, because you're never going to
Speaker 4: get straight backs from the view. Joe Rogan doesn't believe
Speaker 4: there were once dragons that breathe fire like in the
Speaker 4: Game of Thrones. He was talking about dragon dinosaur type
Speaker 4: of animals that fly, something wildlife biologists.
Speaker 3: Have speculated about.
Speaker 4: But back to the view and their delusions of honesty
Speaker 4: and accuracy.
Speaker 1: But I think that that's why people like our shell
Speaker 1: because they know that we are checked by ABC.
Speaker 2: News, by everybody.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, if we're wrong, we have you know,
Speaker 1: the legal note here.
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, but Sonny reading out frequent legal notes when
Speaker 4: people threaten to sue is not the same thing as
Speaker 4: being accurate. Now to an all mighty meltdown from Axious
Speaker 4: CEO and co founder Jim vander Hay, this rant about
Speaker 4: Elon Musk and X is incredible for its sheer, audacity
Speaker 4: and self delusion. He really think things people lost trust
Speaker 4: in the media because of X or some nefarious force.
Speaker 3: No, Jim, it was because.
Speaker 4: Folks were sick of being lied to by the leftist media.
Speaker 12: Elon Musk sits on Twitter every day or X today
Speaker 12: saying like we are the media, you are the media.
Speaker 12: My message to Elon Musk is both, you're not the media.
Speaker 12: What we do, what journalists do. What you did in Mississippi,
Speaker 12: what el Jazeira does in the Middle East, like, being
Speaker 12: a reporter's hard, really hard. You have to care, you
Speaker 12: have to do the hard work, you have to skit
Speaker 12: up every single day and say I want to get
Speaker 12: to the closest approximation of the truth without any fear,
Speaker 12: without any favoritism.
Speaker 4: He is either lying or he is ignorant. There are
Speaker 4: no other options at this point. Journalists ignoring the truth
Speaker 4: and becoming political activists is what has seen trust in
Speaker 4: the media plummet to record lows. Of course, Jim's rant
Speaker 4: was applauded by the very worst examples of the leftist media,
Speaker 4: the lunatic asylum that is MSNBC, the network with a
Speaker 4: plummeting audience for the lunatic fringe, by the lunatic fringe.
Speaker 3: And yeah, of course they loved jim speech.
Speaker 12: You'd do it by doing the hard work.
Speaker 2: Yeah, come on.
Speaker 11: First of all, I've got to say, extraordinary content. It
Speaker 11: needed to be sad, it continues to need to be
Speaker 11: said when all of the garbagees flying around on social media,
Speaker 11: lying about reporters, lying about the hard work they do,
Speaker 11: lying about the hard work editors who lying about everything
Speaker 11: up and down.
Speaker 4: Joe Scarborough and the network that has done more to
Speaker 4: damage journalism's name than any other. He's still trying to
Speaker 4: gaslight the nation. At least while they're playing the victim.
Speaker 4: They've stopped pushing the Russian collusion hoax. Time to check
Speaker 4: in now on the leader of the Free world. Remember him,
Speaker 4: Joe Biden? Or is it Joe Biden's husband.
Speaker 11: I must say I followed that standard because I had
Speaker 11: no choice.
Speaker 5: I'm Joe Biden's husband.
Speaker 4: Oh dear, he's not all there is he Now to
Speaker 4: a man identifying as a woman who is wearing a
Speaker 4: lemon dress and a kafir, I wouldn't suggest doing that
Speaker 4: in Gaza or the West Bank or any Muslim majority country.
Speaker 13: Today, for the first time I dressed fully feminine in
Speaker 13: public in the broad light of day. It was to
Speaker 13: a luncheon at my work with the board of directors
Speaker 13: of the theater company I work for. I wore my
Speaker 13: lemon dress and my cathea.
Speaker 3: And something of a miracle.
Speaker 4: Folks, this is CNN bringing cold, old, hard facts to
Speaker 4: their audience. And you know, in airports and hospital waiting
Speaker 4: rooms around America, they'd be lifties losing it listening to this.
Speaker 14: Take a look here President Trump's transition net approval.
Speaker 6: You go back to November twenty sixteen.
Speaker 14: Look at this, it was just a plus one point,
Speaker 14: just a plus one point. That is well well well
Speaker 14: below the historical norm. Look at where we are today,
Speaker 14: significantly higher, plus eighteen points at seventeen points higher on
Speaker 14: the presidential transition net approval rating. The bottom line is this,
Speaker 14: If eight years ago Americans were lukewarm on Donald Trump
Speaker 14: at this particular point, they're giving him much more of
Speaker 14: the benefit of the doubt. A lot more Americans are
Speaker 14: in love with this transition. What you see eight years ago,
Speaker 14: fifty three percent of Americans were scared or concerned, the
Speaker 14: majority towards the upcoming Trump term. Look at where we
Speaker 14: are now. The shoe is on the other foot. Fifty
Speaker 14: three percent of Americans are excited or optimistic.
Speaker 5: It's flip flop.
Speaker 4: Joining me now is Newsweek's seniorators are at large and
Speaker 4: article three projects your council, Josh Hammat Josh, we will
Speaker 4: speak about the cases against Donald Trump collapsing shortly. The
Speaker 4: lawfare appears to be almost over. But first to Trump's
Speaker 4: transition team and the majority of Americans. A CNN just
Speaker 4: explained optimistic about what the next four years will bring
Speaker 4: very different situation to twenty sixteen.
Speaker 15: Yeah, I think he's up that as Donald Trump seventeen
Speaker 15: points compared to where he was at this exact time
Speaker 15: eight years ago. Look, it's no small wonder why there's
Speaker 15: multiple clauses for this retail in my estimation, First and
Speaker 15: foremost is that, you know, it's funny the Republican Party
Speaker 15: at this time, it went through an ideological phase run
Speaker 15: the time of the Tea Party Up, the Tea Party
Speaker 15: Rise twenty ten, twenty twelve. At this point, bad guy
Speaker 15: has an ideology for sure, and I don't want to
Speaker 15: downplay that. But right now, I think the Republican Party
Speaker 15: under Donald Trump is best understood as a party of
Speaker 15: the opposition, and it is the majority party. But what
Speaker 15: it does oppose is woke. It opposes wokeism, it opposes
Speaker 15: radical leftism. And at that point, when you are defined
Speaker 15: so broadly in opposition to all these various policies and
Speaker 15: moons that are so wildly unpopular, you're gonna be more
Speaker 15: popular because guess what, on all these various woke issues,
Speaker 15: whether it's the open border, whether it's biological men and
Speaker 15: women's sports, or God forbid, biological men and women's prisons,
Speaker 15: all these crazy, woke excesses. The American people are on
Speaker 15: the side of civilizational sanity, not the side of civilizational arson.
Speaker 15: I think the second reason why the Trump transition team
Speaker 15: is polling so well right now, Rita, is for the
Speaker 15: very simple reason that Donald Trump is actually appointed a
Speaker 15: lot of former Democrats to very high ranking positions, people
Speaker 15: like Rfk Junior, people like Tulci Gabbert, you know Hackey.
Speaker 15: It wasn't that long ago that Elon Musk himself was
Speaker 15: a Democrat. There, the list of Frankly goes on and on.
Speaker 5: There.
Speaker 15: Scott Besen's his current Treasury secretary once upon a time,
Speaker 15: actually works for a George Soros funded investment firm over
Speaker 15: a decade ago. So, I mean, Democrats have a lot
Speaker 15: of reason themselves to actually not necessarily be totally pessimistic
Speaker 15: about what the Donald Trump administration might bring. Again the
Speaker 15: way that I see the Donald Trump presidency in the
Speaker 15: Donald Trump political legacy. More broadly, this is not an
Speaker 15: ideological right wing agenda. It is an agenda and above
Speaker 15: all a coalition of the scene and the common sensical.
Speaker 5: That's what it is. That's why the approval ratings are so.
Speaker 4: High, and that's why I was so stupid for so
Speaker 4: many in the media and so many of his political
Speaker 4: opponents to characterize in some sort of extremists, some sort
Speaker 4: of unique threat to democracy, because as you've just explained,
Speaker 4: in fact, he's very much mainstream with his positions and
Speaker 4: his values and the sort of policies he wants to implement.
Speaker 4: And on that, I want to ask you about the
Speaker 4: angry I was going to say crazy, I'll say angry
Speaker 4: rant of Axios CEO and co founder Jim Van der
Speaker 4: Hay his defense of the media industry. Does he understand
Speaker 4: why trust in the media has plummeted to these historic lows.
Speaker 4: We've got now only one in ten Republicans trusting the media,
Speaker 4: and importantly and was pretty critical in the election, I
Speaker 4: would say only around twenty seven percent of independent voters
Speaker 4: trust the media. They've cried wolf too many times.
Speaker 15: Josh, yeah, So that's that's astonishing, right, I mean twenty
Speaker 15: seven percent of independence the one A had ten Republicans.
Speaker 15: I mean, frankly, my response to that is, you know
Speaker 15: who the heck is in that ten percent? And what
Speaker 15: are you looking at that I am not apparently seeing
Speaker 15: I say that, by the way, is I say that
Speaker 15: as someone who works for a newsweek, which which is
Speaker 15: a pretty historic brand in American journalism. But I mean,
Speaker 15: I don't understand what that one in ten people are
Speaker 15: possibly looking at there. Look, obviously the Axio CEO doesn't
Speaker 15: understand what's going on out there. This is an activist
Speaker 15: organization that is calling itself a news outlet. Unfortunately, what's
Speaker 15: happening in Axios is basically what's happening out there with
Speaker 15: anything that called itself the mainstream corporate media these days.
Speaker 15: That is why the mainstream media right now has literally
Speaker 15: its lowest approval ratings than it has ever had in
Speaker 15: the history of mainstream gallop Hu American public polling. And
Speaker 15: unless until they come to grips with the fact that
Speaker 15: they are just wildly out of touch, unless they come
Speaker 15: to grips of the fact that, for example, mass deportations
Speaker 15: are actually a winning issue for republic in something like
Speaker 15: sixty to sixty five percent of Americans said they support
Speaker 15: that agenda. You know, they're freaking out on CNN, they're
Speaker 15: freaking out on MSNBC, unless then, tell you, guys, actually
Speaker 15: realize that what you think and what the American people
Speaker 15: think are two very very different things. Unless the until
Speaker 15: they actually realize that reader, their approval ratings are only
Speaker 15: going to go further and further into the toilet.
Speaker 5: I fear.
Speaker 4: Absolutely and Axils itself, like MSNBC and many other FI
Speaker 4: lift outlets, has seen a big.
Speaker 3: Dive in their audience share.
Speaker 4: So I think a lot of that angry rant is
Speaker 4: motivated by self interest. Special Counsel Jack Smith, He's moved
Speaker 4: to have the election interference and classified document cases against
Speaker 4: Donald Trump dismissed in line with the Department of Justice policy.
Speaker 4: A US district judge has signed off on dismissing the
Speaker 4: election interference charges and another is reviewing the classified document charges.
Speaker 4: What else can you tell us about this, Josh? Is
Speaker 4: the law fare over or is it just going to
Speaker 4: be delayed?
Speaker 15: So the federal cases appear to actually be over. So
Speaker 15: those are the two cases in Florida where I live,
Speaker 15: and in Washington, d C. Florida would be the classified
Speaker 15: documents case in mar Lago and the DC case it's
Speaker 15: kind of the Marquee case, the Crown Jewel. That's the
Speaker 15: twenty twenty case involving January sixth. That is the case
Speaker 15: that Judge Tanya Chu can actually formally dismiss pursuance to
Speaker 15: so called special counsel Jacksmith's motion to withdraw the case.
Speaker 2: There.
Speaker 15: Now it's over at a federal level, there are still
Speaker 15: two state level prosecutions. There's the so called hush money
Speaker 15: case in New York City as well as the Fulton County,
Speaker 15: Georgia case. That's the one with Fannie Willis and her
Speaker 15: former lover Nathan Wade. It's actually not entirely clear what
Speaker 15: happening in Georgia. The Georgia Corp Appeals this past week
Speaker 15: actually just said that they're not going to hear the
Speaker 15: appeal from the Superior Court. So it's not entirely clear.
Speaker 15: Procedurally speaking, what's going to happen there is probably going
Speaker 15: to fizzle out of it's own the court one way
Speaker 15: or the other. The big question right now from a
Speaker 15: lawfair perspective, well, I guess there are two big questions.
Speaker 15: One is what happens in the New York City case.
Speaker 15: Because wanmer Shawn, the very anti Trump judge, has indefinitely
Speaker 15: delayed the sentencing, but he hasn't actually dismissed the case.
Speaker 15: In its entirety, Yet he should declare a mistrial. This
Speaker 15: gets to the heart of what the Supreme Court said
Speaker 15: in the Trump versus us Presidential Community case, which constitutes
Speaker 15: a conduct that you cannot invoke at a trial setting.
Speaker 15: So under the clear terms of the Presidential Comunity case,
Speaker 15: that case should be declared a mistrial. I think the
Speaker 15: bigger question, though, read and one that I'm currently thinking
Speaker 15: a lot about, is what does Donald Trump do day one,
Speaker 15: January twenty twenty five when it comes to the lawfair
Speaker 15: You have a lot of people, I think whispering in
Speaker 15: his ear, saying, be the bigger man, you know, try
Speaker 15: to just extend a peace pipe there, KUMBAYI, y'all, let's
Speaker 15: all just move on here.
Speaker 5: I'm not ready to move on. I'm not ready to
Speaker 5: just move on and.
Speaker 15: Just turn the page from the past two and a
Speaker 15: half years of them trying to bankrupt, incarcerate, destroy their
Speaker 15: political opponents in third world sub Saharan Africa. Tim Pott
Speaker 15: dictatorship fashion that they have made a mockery of the
Speaker 15: rule of law in this country. They have crossed not
Speaker 15: just one rubicon, they have crossed hundreds of rubicons at
Speaker 15: this point. There and unless and until they pay some
Speaker 15: sort of price for that. I fear that when they
Speaker 15: regain power, which inevitably they will at some unforeseen point,
Speaker 15: but at some point they will unless the until you
Speaker 15: make them feel the price. Now, the pain there's going
Speaker 15: to double down at a future date.
Speaker 4: That is critically important and it's what the people voted for.
Speaker 4: That was an issue throughout this election campaign. The law fare,
Speaker 4: the way these departments and institutions have been corrupted and
Speaker 4: politicized and weaponized to go after political opponents. This is
Speaker 4: an issue that Trump's voters care about. So if he
Speaker 4: goes in there and decides, I've got other things to
Speaker 4: focus on, We're just going to hold hands and pretend
Speaker 4: we're good friends. I think that's entirely the wrong thing
Speaker 4: to do. And as you said, it doesn't actually see
Speaker 4: meaningful change.
Speaker 3: They're just going to try it on again when there's
Speaker 3: no consequences.
Speaker 4: So there has to be some consequences for those who
Speaker 4: misuse their power, misuse.
Speaker 3: Their officers to launch this lawfare.
Speaker 4: And it wasn't just Donald Trump, of course, it was
Speaker 4: their number one target.
Speaker 3: But we've seen school mums.
Speaker 4: At who objected to what their children were being taught
Speaker 4: and were protesting at school board meetings being targeted. We've
Speaker 4: seen pro life activists being targeted. So it's bigger than
Speaker 4: Donald Trump, and I hope he really does not neglect
Speaker 4: this important area.
Speaker 3: I want to ask you about.
Speaker 4: California Governor Gavin Museim. He's a future Democrat presidential candidate
Speaker 4: if you asked me, despite the mess that California is in.
Speaker 3: He's done something incredible.
Speaker 4: Lea's excluded Elon Musk's Tesla from a scheme that will
Speaker 4: offer rebates to electric vehicle buyers. Government Newism's going to
Speaker 4: introduce this seven and a half thousand dollars EV credits
Speaker 4: scheme if Donald Trump decides to repeal the federal EV
Speaker 4: rebates that are in place, but he's going to exclude Tesla,
Speaker 4: the most popular EV and the one that's actually made
Speaker 4: in America, made in California.
Speaker 15: Josh, Yeah, it's pretty morbidly hilarious, isn't it actually that
Speaker 15: the nation's largest EV manufacturer is being denied a purportedly
Speaker 15: facially neutral credit for the very simple reason that Elon
Speaker 15: Musk is a major Trump supporter, or that Elon Musk
Speaker 15: actually picked up and moved out of Gavin Newsoms California
Speaker 15: due to Gavin Newsom's policies and relocated to Texas there.
Speaker 5: You know, it's funny.
Speaker 15: So you know, in the Anglo American legal tradition and
Speaker 15: right here in our US Constitution, we have something known
Speaker 15: as a bill of a tinder. A bill of attainer
Speaker 15: back in the Old Star Chamber in medieval England was
Speaker 15: literally a decree by the king that would single out
Speaker 15: an individual for punishment without any law actually supporting of
Speaker 15: US Constitution actually clarifies that Congress shall never ever pass
Speaker 15: a bill of attainder. This is basically what's happening here.
Speaker 15: This is basically a single minded bill of a tanger
Speaker 15: of sorts that Gavin Newsom is just issuing at Elon
Speaker 15: Musk is coming from nothing, nothing other than pure personal
Speaker 15: pettiness and spite. That is exactly what's going on there
Speaker 15: by the way you mentioned this, But Gavin Newsim is
Speaker 15: the first governor since California became a state in the
Speaker 15: mid nineteenth century to oversee a population decline in California
Speaker 15: actually losing congressional seats in the US census. All this
Speaker 15: has happened under Gavin Newsom's gubernatorial tenure. Again, he's the
Speaker 15: first governor who's ever been there on the Golden State
Speaker 15: to ever see a population excess. People have been flocked
Speaker 15: in California forever until he came into power there. If
Speaker 15: Gavin Newsom is the best that the Democratic Party has
Speaker 15: to offer come the next presidential election in twenty twenty eight,
Speaker 15: then God help them, because it's not going to go
Speaker 15: a heck of a lot better than it did the
Speaker 15: last go round.
Speaker 4: Yes, the Californians are fleeing in a huge numbers. They're
Speaker 4: all over Texas and Florida where you are, and Tennessee
Speaker 4: that typically seem to be fleeing to the south. Let's
Speaker 4: just hope they don't take their politics with them.
Speaker 3: I want to ask you.
Speaker 4: About the January six political prisoners as some refer to them.
Speaker 4: But before that, Canadian Opposition leader Pierre Poulivier has called
Speaker 4: out Justin Trudeau Prime Minister Justin Trudeau over is rolling,
Speaker 4: creating and tolerating anti semitism in Canada. The left wing
Speaker 4: hate there is fueling rights in Montreal. I'll just quote
Speaker 4: from what Pierre wrote on X He said, you ax
Speaker 4: surprised we are reaping what you saw this is what
Speaker 4: happens when a prime minister spends ninety years pushing toxic,
Speaker 4: woke identity politics, dividing and subdividing people by race, gender, vaccine, status, religion, region, age, wealth,
Speaker 4: saying Canada is a post national state with no core identity.
Speaker 4: And while you were dancing, Montreal was burning. We won't
Speaker 4: let you divide us anymore. Call an election, and now
Speaker 4: we will fire you and reclaim our citizenship, our values,
Speaker 4: our lives, our freedom, and most of all, our country. Wow, Josh,
Speaker 4: that's pretty powerful stuff.
Speaker 15: Yeah, that's a I mean, that's a fiery statement, and
Speaker 15: it's a fire statement that has to be made. I mean, frankly,
Speaker 15: you know, I was looking at the so called ratio
Speaker 15: on the other on the underlying tweet that Justin Trudeau
Speaker 15: pointed out that we saw kind of the quote there.
Speaker 15: I mean, Justin Trudeau was getting so called ratio to.
Speaker 15: I mean, he was getting just blown up in the
Speaker 15: replies there. I mean, Trudeau is going to get demolished
Speaker 15: and next time that he actually bothers to hold an
Speaker 15: election there in Canada. There, it's because his policies are
Speaker 15: fundamentally failed. By the way, It's not just that he's
Speaker 15: allowing Jew heaters in Montreal to firebomb sending gues.
Speaker 5: You know.
Speaker 15: He's also now on record as saying that he looks
Speaker 15: forward to enforcing the International Criminal Courts arrest warrant against
Speaker 15: Prime Minister of Benjamin Nintinyahu as if if Natanyahu were
Speaker 15: to visit Ottawa. I mean, is Trudeau literally going to
Speaker 15: send in the Royal Canadian Mounted Police to round up
Speaker 15: the Jews? I mean, are you kidding me here? I mean,
Speaker 15: I mean, is this sort of nazi esque rounding up
Speaker 15: the Jews the progressive mentality in the year twenty twenty four.
Speaker 15: I guess the answer apparently is yes. Again, He's going
Speaker 15: to get his clock cleaned in Canada the next time
Speaker 15: that they bother to host elections there. This leader of
Speaker 15: the opposition of the Tories is very, very, very well spoken.
Speaker 15: I hope he gets back in the power of the
Speaker 15: next time that Canada bothers to hold the national election.
Speaker 4: Frankly, I do like his form. He reminds me a
Speaker 4: lot of Ron DeSantis. I want to ask you about
Speaker 4: January sixth has been another hole that's been blown in
Speaker 4: Congress's January sixth investigation. Despite the Capitol Police and Justice
Speaker 4: Department clearing Captain Michael Bird for shooting protester Ashley Babbitt dead.
Speaker 4: New information has come to light where Bird admits to
Speaker 4: not having sufficient grounds to have open fire on her
Speaker 4: and a new report confirms that Bird had pride, disciplinary
Speaker 4: and training issues.
Speaker 3: What more can you tell us about that?
Speaker 4: And what is going to be the plight of these
Speaker 4: January sixth prisoners? Some refer to them as political prisoners,
Speaker 4: and really their cases highlight this two tier justice system.
Speaker 15: So the US Supreme Court had an opinion earlier this
Speaker 15: year called the Fisher case US versus Fisher, where they
Speaker 15: held that a two thousand and two statue called Sarbanes Oxley,
Speaker 15: specifically Section fifteen twelve cannot be used to prosecute the
Speaker 15: JA sixers.
Speaker 5: That was basically the holding of the case.
Speaker 15: Now, notably Jack Smith, who we were just discussing a
Speaker 15: few minutes ago. Jack Smith decided not to let the
Speaker 15: Supreme Court ruling effect his indictment against Donald Trump.
Speaker 5: He actually left those charges in.
Speaker 15: But when it comes to a lot of the JA
Speaker 15: sixers who were being prosecuted, or who are waiting trial,
Speaker 15: or who are currently sentenced under these same statutory grounds.
Speaker 15: The Biden DOJ has not actually bothered to change or
Speaker 15: to let out many of these people, and they're acting,
Speaker 15: in many cases in flagrant disregard of this Preme Court's
Speaker 15: clear guidance in this fissure case. Many of these cases,
Speaker 15: perhaps most possibly even all of them, honestly, are really
Speaker 15: just day one easy parting calls, I think for Donald
Speaker 15: Trump and Pam Bondy as soon to be a turned
Speaker 15: general come January twenty twenty five. Look, was January sixth
Speaker 15: a good day? No, it obviously was not. Has been
Speaker 15: blown out of proportion by anyone remotely resembling anyone on
Speaker 15: the left.
Speaker 5: Yeah, of course it.
Speaker 15: Has this notion that it was a pearl harbor and
Speaker 15: nine to eleven. Get the heck out of here, I mean,
Speaker 15: this latest revelation about Bird and Nashley babbittt there is
Speaker 15: really just the latest data indicating that there Donald Trump
Speaker 15: should issue a pardon to basically anyone who's been prosecuted
Speaker 15: under that same statue to mention there possibly all of
Speaker 15: them there, get it done with out of the way.
Speaker 15: The left will freak out, let them melt down. Frankly,
Speaker 15: who cares.
Speaker 3: Exactly they're going to melt down anyway. Joshadma, thanks for
Speaker 3: your time tonight.
Speaker 6: Thank you.
Speaker 4: Rita still to come proof that ethnic minorities are rejecting
Speaker 4: identity politics.
Speaker 3: Adam Weiss joins me next. Welcome back.
Speaker 4: My next guest is a regular at mar A Lago
Speaker 4: and he's written about how it is now at the
Speaker 4: center of a massive cultural shift. Here, writes mar A
Speaker 4: Lago isn't just the epicenter of conservative politics. It's the
Speaker 4: new Hollywood, the new page six. This cultural shift speaks
Speaker 4: volumes about where America is heading. Joining me now is
Speaker 4: host of media expose, Adam Weiss. Adam, tell me about
Speaker 4: this cultural shift and tell me about mara A Lago.
Speaker 3: What's it like there?
Speaker 16: Rider, Thanks for having me. Mar A Lago seems a
Speaker 16: bit different. I went there last week for the Seapack
Speaker 16: Conservative Action Conference, and the first people I walked in
Speaker 16: was right, it was Tucker Tulsa gab but very friendly,
Speaker 16: chattowit for a bit. Downstairs, I saw Kerry Lake, who's
Speaker 16: the larger than life figure the RNC chair. But what
Speaker 16: really stuck out was I was with a colleague of
Speaker 16: mine from Silicon Valley and she said, oh, that guy
Speaker 16: over there who wasn't dressed well.
Speaker 2: Like in gen.
Speaker 16: He was one of the founders of PayPal. Another investors
Speaker 16: she saw it was from SpaceX. Another guy was another
Speaker 16: investor from Silicon Valley. And these weren't the usual typical
Speaker 16: people that were like establishments from you know, you'd usually
Speaker 16: see it Marolago. So what happened with the Elon effect,
Speaker 16: the cultural effect, the free speech effect. It's the new
Speaker 16: hit place, the new counterculture, it's the new hit place
Speaker 16: to be. And I think people are finally it's a
Speaker 16: big awakening out there, and people aren't afraid to say
Speaker 16: I'm conservative, I'm maga, and it's a big almost like
Speaker 16: a spiritual awakening happening in America.
Speaker 4: Well, we're seeing some data coming and even CNN were
Speaker 4: reporting on it that the majority of Americans are optimistic
Speaker 4: about the second Trump term. They're happy with the transitions
Speaker 4: team's work so far. And culturally, we are seeing this
Speaker 4: phenomenon with footballers, UFC fighters, other athletes doing the Trump dance.
Speaker 6: Again.
Speaker 4: That was unthinkable eight years ago, or even four years ago.
Speaker 4: It was almost forbidden to be a supportive of Trump
Speaker 4: if you're a high profile individual. But now you've got
Speaker 4: athletes doing that. It is a significant shift.
Speaker 2: I think four years ago they'd be chastised by the
Speaker 2: league and the owners. They'd be apologizing right away. They
Speaker 2: might have been fined. So the culture switch. People are
Speaker 2: allowed to be themselves finally, right.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 2: I noticed there was a couple of days for the election.
Speaker 16: I was living, of course, from the Central Park and
Speaker 16: I walked through the park and they were justpatic. Go
Speaker 16: Young and his dad. They both had maga hats on.
Speaker 16: I said, that's a rarity. Then I went down to
Speaker 16: the block in African America, get out of maga hat.
Speaker 16: I said, things are shifting here. Four years ago people
Speaker 16: were afraid to wear hats, maga hats in the city.
Speaker 16: And if that was happening in New York, I said
Speaker 16: to all over America, you know they must pain see
Speaker 16: an end reader that they have to show these polls
Speaker 16: on their network. And the people are happy right now
Speaker 16: with the transition work of the Trump team, but you
Speaker 16: know they're getting attacked, which is not fair most of
Speaker 16: the cabinet. X.
Speaker 4: Now, let's have a look at some data compiled by
Speaker 4: the New York Times. There's been a big shift towards
Speaker 4: the Republicans since twenty twelve. Among ethnic minorities who've seemed
Speaker 4: to have rejected identity politics and recorded swings towards Republicans,
Speaker 4: you can see they're Blacks, Hispanics, Asians, all with a
Speaker 4: big boost net shift in support of Republicans. And those
Speaker 4: with degrees when it comes to minorities and those without
Speaker 4: degrees have also spunk towards the Republicans. And interestingly, you
Speaker 4: look at the age groups from eighteen years of age
Speaker 4: to sixty four, there's been a shift, a significant shift,
Speaker 4: particularly amongst young voters towards the Republicans. Meanwhile, for the Democrats,
Speaker 4: it's whites, whites with college degrees, and people over sixty
Speaker 4: five who've shifted towards the Democrats.
Speaker 3: What do you make of this? Starter at him?
Speaker 16: It's its amazing stats to look at because for four
Speaker 16: years we've been told what a racist, sexist, homophobe that
Speaker 16: Maga Trump Conservatives are not and stop, day and night
Speaker 16: by the legacy mainstream media.
Speaker 2: He's had I don't know, I don't even know.
Speaker 16: How many indictments he had against him, told he's been convicted,
Speaker 16: did all.
Speaker 2: These terrible things.
Speaker 16: And yet young people, African Americans Hispanics saw through it
Speaker 16: all and still voted for him in big numbers.
Speaker 2: The shifts were n't remarkable.
Speaker 16: The Democrats always thought they owned the minority vote, the
Speaker 16: African American vote, the Hispanic vote.
Speaker 2: But the American people were tired of it.
Speaker 16: They've been bullied for you know, seven eight years since
Speaker 16: Trump presidency, bullied by wokeness, bullied by political correctors, and
Speaker 16: finally American people put up big punch into the bully.
Speaker 2: And I say, the bullies are the bullies, the media
Speaker 2: with the bullies.
Speaker 16: Hollywood was the bullies, pop cultures, bullet and finally American
Speaker 16: people so we're not going to take any more bullies,
Speaker 16: and they give a big punch on election Day.
Speaker 4: Now talking about that cultural shift, Hollywood is still very
Speaker 4: much over the left. We know that, but there are
Speaker 4: small productions and some bigger ones that are coming across
Speaker 4: that are challenging that narrative. I want to play you
Speaker 4: a scene from a television series called Landman, produced by
Speaker 4: Paramount Pictures, and just a rare moment of truth from
Speaker 4: an industry that is really captured by the left, including
Speaker 4: the climate cult.
Speaker 17: How many idea how much diesel they have to burn
Speaker 17: to mix that much concrete or make that steel and
Speaker 17: hold it out here and put it together with a
Speaker 17: four hundred and fifty foot crane. You want to guess
Speaker 17: how much all it takes to libricate that thing?
Speaker 2: Or winner is it?
Speaker 17: And as twenty year live span anyone off set the
Speaker 17: carbon footprint and making it. And don't get me started
Speaker 17: on solar panels and the lithium in your Tesla battery.
Speaker 4: Oh you don't see that every day, Adam. What do
Speaker 4: you make of how divorced Hollywood is from most of
Speaker 4: the US population Because for the overwhelming majority of them,
Speaker 4: they're not involved in productions like that. They are politically
Speaker 4: hard left. They're threatening to leave the country if Trump wins.
Speaker 4: That are doing campaign events for Kamala Harris, and they
Speaker 4: seem to just be disowning at least half of the
Speaker 4: American population.
Speaker 2: Well now they're desoning more than half of that population.
Speaker 16: Think about you know, Hollywood doesn't care about fifty percent
Speaker 16: of the American population that votes. You know, he's their bills,
Speaker 16: spends money at the theater, and they just people are
Speaker 16: sick of the indoctrination from Hollywood, the advertising industry, Hollywood,
Speaker 16: the TV shows everything is just seen through the lens
Speaker 16: of political correctness and an agenda. When people are tired
Speaker 16: of it and they put it and they gave their
Speaker 16: message through election here. But you know, culture switches quick,
Speaker 16: and hopefully this does put a little bit of debt
Speaker 16: in Hollywood. So we'll see, because right now there seems
Speaker 16: to be this awakening and you know, hopefully it does
Speaker 16: showcase in Hollywood.
Speaker 4: Adam Weisse, thank you so much for your time, and
Speaker 4: that's it from me.
Speaker 3: I'll see you at eleven tomorrow with Douglas Murray.
Speaker 4: Up next is Newsnight.
