The always brilliant Douglas 6 00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:27,400 Speaker 2: Murray weighs in on Joe Biden's ongoing cognitive spiral. 7 00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:30,880 Speaker 3: France in crisis as the far left takes over. 8 00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:35,199 Speaker 2: Ralph Scholhammer will join us all the latest celebrity in 9 00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:39,320 Speaker 2: Royal News with d D Dunlevy and of course Left 10 00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:43,400 Speaker 2: He's losing it featuring the masculinity Retreat when men pay 11 00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:53,040 Speaker 2: ten thousand dollars to float at a pool and cry 12 00:00:55,040 --> 00:01:00,400 Speaker 2: with Joe joinny me Now is Deputy Executive director of 13 00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:02,080 Speaker 2: the Institute of Public Affairs. 14 00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:04,479 Speaker 4: Daniel Wilde, Daniel, good to see you. 15 00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:07,279 Speaker 2: Let's start with the National Disability Insurance Scheme. 16 00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:10,559 Speaker 4: We know it's in a mess. It's costing taxpayers a bomb. 17 00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:14,360 Speaker 2: It already costs more than Medicare and will soon outstrip Defense. 18 00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:17,880 Speaker 2: Now sex work services on the NDIS are back in 19 00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:21,480 Speaker 2: the spotlight. The Guardian is today asking is it a 20 00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:26,240 Speaker 2: real issue or just a red herring. So, Daniel, I'll 21 00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:30,120 Speaker 2: ask you, courtesy of the Guardian's journalism sex worker is 22 00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:33,559 Speaker 2: a real issue or a red herring when it comes 23 00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:37,720 Speaker 2: to the NDIS, Well, it is a real issue. 24 00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:41,480 Speaker 5: We've seen a lot of routing behavior, inappropriate service provider 25 00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:44,360 Speaker 5: behavior that's been taking place, and I think that it's 26 00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:46,680 Speaker 5: good that they're addressed, or I know the government seeking 27 00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:49,400 Speaker 5: to address some of those issues. I think it gets 28 00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:51,120 Speaker 5: to a bigger issue, which is that, of course we 29 00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:54,080 Speaker 5: want the NDIS to work. We want Australians who have 30 00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:56,880 Speaker 5: a disability to be taken care of. But all too 31 00:01:56,920 --> 00:02:00,160 Speaker 5: often the NDIS seems to be serving the interest the 32 00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:03,320 Speaker 5: bureaucracy and of the service providers rather than those who 33 00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:06,800 Speaker 5: really need access to the services. And of course taxpayers 34 00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:09,760 Speaker 5: are being fleeced on the way through. The issue you've 35 00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:12,679 Speaker 5: got here, Deniker, is that the government has said, under 36 00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:15,040 Speaker 5: the best case scenario, they want to limit the growth 37 00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:18,080 Speaker 5: of the NDIS to eight percent per year. Well, the 38 00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:21,080 Speaker 5: economy is growing at four percent in nominal terms, so 39 00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:24,280 Speaker 5: you've got NDIS that's going to be at least growing 40 00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:27,079 Speaker 5: at double the raiders the entire economy, So we need 41 00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:29,800 Speaker 5: structural reform to make sure it's sustainable, not just tinkering 42 00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:30,560 Speaker 5: around the edges. 43 00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:34,480 Speaker 2: Absolutely, and let's not forget the ndis a very important scheme, 44 00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:37,600 Speaker 2: but it was only designed for the most severely disabled. 45 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:39,160 Speaker 4: Now you've got. 46 00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:41,079 Speaker 2: Every man and their dog trying to get a slice 47 00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:43,440 Speaker 2: of the pie and it is simply not working. So 48 00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:47,680 Speaker 2: certainly these reforms are needed now. A Chinese cyber espionage group, 49 00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:52,920 Speaker 2: which has already infiltrated public and private sector networks in Australia, has. 50 00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:56,040 Speaker 4: Been named as APT forty. 51 00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:59,200 Speaker 2: The Australian Signals Director and says the group has waged 52 00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:03,400 Speaker 2: a years long hacking campaign on behalf of China's Ministry 53 00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:04,440 Speaker 2: of State Security. 54 00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:05,560 Speaker 4: Daniel, I've got to ask. 55 00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:08,640 Speaker 2: Because, as you know, Australia just rolled out the red 56 00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:12,160 Speaker 2: carpet for the Chinese premiere Labor has today chosen to 57 00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:13,120 Speaker 2: name and. 58 00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:13,960 Speaker 4: Shame this group. 59 00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:17,680 Speaker 2: But I wonder did Albo even raise this with Premier 60 00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:18,560 Speaker 2: Lee last month? 61 00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:20,680 Speaker 1: Well, I wouldn't bank on it. And you know, here 62 00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:21,320 Speaker 1: we go again. 63 00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:23,640 Speaker 5: This is not the first time this kind of behavior 64 00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:27,239 Speaker 5: has taken place. Of course, there's an important trading relationship 65 00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:30,200 Speaker 5: with China. We want that to be maintained, but we 66 00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:32,320 Speaker 5: also need to be aware that, you know, China has 67 00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:35,200 Speaker 5: a really the Chinese Communist Party, not so much the 68 00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:37,440 Speaker 5: Chinese people, but the Chinese Communist Party that run the 69 00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:41,240 Speaker 5: country have a pattern of repeated behavior. They have very 70 00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:45,320 Speaker 5: ambitious and expansionist geopolitical intentions. We know that with the 71 00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:47,839 Speaker 5: One Belt, One Road, the Made in China twenty twenty 72 00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:50,360 Speaker 5: five around advanced technology, and all you have to do 73 00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:53,240 Speaker 5: is look at policies like net zero. Net zero will 74 00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:56,560 Speaker 5: be a boon for China because they are the world's 75 00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:59,800 Speaker 5: main manufacturer of solar panels, wind turbines and processing of 76 00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:03,080 Speaker 5: the critical minerals, but its countries like Australia that lose out. 77 00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:05,720 Speaker 5: So we need our political leaders to be aware that 78 00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:09,800 Speaker 5: China is seeking to reorientate the global economic supply chains 79 00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:13,440 Speaker 5: around it, and we see this sort of espionage behavior 80 00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:16,000 Speaker 5: as a part of a much broader agenda. We've also 81 00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:19,320 Speaker 5: seen it with the Confucian centers at Australian universities, which 82 00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:22,240 Speaker 5: were hugely concerning. So I'm not too sure whether our 83 00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:25,600 Speaker 5: leaders are taking this with the seriousness that it deserves, and. 84 00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:27,960 Speaker 2: It certainly needs to be taken very seriously. 85 00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:29,680 Speaker 4: Now I have a listen to this. 86 00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:33,320 Speaker 2: Channel seven has confirmed a controversial change to its TV 87 00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:37,159 Speaker 2: news bulletins that will feature would you believe an astrology 88 00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:41,479 Speaker 2: report from astro Tash Now, this is a twenty second 89 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:45,080 Speaker 2: astrology report after the weather on the six pm bulletin, 90 00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:48,360 Speaker 2: along with a weekly comedy skit on Fridays by comedian 91 00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:52,760 Speaker 2: Mark Humphreys Daniel. Look, hopefully the astrology report will predict 92 00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:55,840 Speaker 2: how long seven has left before the lights go out 93 00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:57,720 Speaker 2: on these ridiculous segments. 94 00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:02,800 Speaker 5: They need more stars at Channel seven. But I'm not 95 00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:06,200 Speaker 5: sure this is what viewers really had in mind. But 96 00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:09,200 Speaker 5: I'd say, look, this is the dumbing down of the 97 00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:11,520 Speaker 5: news and the dumbing down of mainstream media that we're 98 00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:14,440 Speaker 5: seeing across network television. For many years, you know, the 99 00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:17,080 Speaker 5: six o'clock news, not necessarily just a Channel seven, but 100 00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:20,599 Speaker 5: across the board used to be mandatory viewing for Australians. 101 00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:25,200 Speaker 5: It was informed and Australians are hungry for proper information, 102 00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:28,200 Speaker 5: for debate, for serious content. We saw that with the 103 00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:30,919 Speaker 5: Voice to Parliament debate last year that Australians wanted to 104 00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:34,360 Speaker 5: be involved, They wanted to learn about it. So look, 105 00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:38,600 Speaker 5: I just think this is an example of why many Australians, 106 00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:40,919 Speaker 5: and indeed many people around the world, are starting to 107 00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:44,640 Speaker 5: get their news from other platforms, including on social media, 108 00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:47,080 Speaker 5: because you know, if this is what you're getting from 109 00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:49,880 Speaker 5: the network television, then it's no wonder that people are 110 00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:51,360 Speaker 5: sort of reconsidering their options. 111 00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:53,440 Speaker 4: Yeah, you can absolutely say why. I look forward to 112 00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:54,599 Speaker 4: seeing how this one goes. 113 00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:58,000 Speaker 2: Now, more than two three hundred people sought asylum in 114 00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:03,040 Speaker 2: Australia after arriving by from relatively stable countries. The Daily 115 00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:06,400 Speaker 2: Telegraph reports it's the highest of any month since the 116 00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:10,080 Speaker 2: Albanese government came to power. Daniel, I've got to say 117 00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:13,400 Speaker 2: the ghosts of the Rudd Gillard Rudd years are circling 118 00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:16,279 Speaker 2: this current labor government. It really feels like we're back 119 00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:17,400 Speaker 2: open for business again. 120 00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:22,680 Speaker 5: It does, and I think since day one of this 121 00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:26,360 Speaker 5: government there's been a failure on our migration policy. We've 122 00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:30,479 Speaker 5: seen the criminal detainees, we've seen the boat arrivals and 123 00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:32,479 Speaker 5: so on, but also just the size of the legal 124 00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:36,039 Speaker 5: program and we've had over a million net arrivals over 125 00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:40,040 Speaker 5: the last two financial years, by far the biggest surge 126 00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:44,279 Speaker 5: to our population in our nation's history. There's been no 127 00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:48,680 Speaker 5: planning for this whatsoever. With schools, roads, hospitals, housing, there's 128 00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:52,839 Speaker 5: a housing shortage and crisis with rent and affordability of purchasing. 129 00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:56,799 Speaker 5: We know that it's not working. Economically. Per capita growth 130 00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:59,920 Speaker 5: is going backwards. You know, we've had five consecutive cord 131 00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:04,320 Speaker 5: of negative per cape economic growth. That's the first time 132 00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:06,440 Speaker 5: that's happened on record, and those records go back to 133 00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:07,640 Speaker 5: the early nineteen seventies. 134 00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:10,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's not working, and I think migration is now 135 00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:12,640 Speaker 3: an acute vote driving issue. 136 00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:16,240 Speaker 2: Daniel Wilde, thank you so much for joining us, joining 137 00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:19,600 Speaker 2: me now.

Let's start with 141 00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:34,520 Speaker 2: the situation with Joe Biden, whose mental incompetence has become 142 00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:37,880 Speaker 2: really the laughing stock of the world. Here is an 143 00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:42,000 Speaker 2: exchange between Fox News reporter Peter Doucey at White House 144 00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:45,320 Speaker 2: Press secretary at Karine Jean Pierre, where he asks a 145 00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:48,640 Speaker 2: legitimate question about how the president, who needs more sleep, 146 00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:52,400 Speaker 2: can't do anything after eight PM would handle a national 147 00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:53,560 Speaker 2: security situation. 148 00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:57,280 Speaker 1: He also said he sharp. 149 00:07:57,040 --> 00:08:01,960 Speaker 6: Is before EPM that the Pentagon at some point picks 150 00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:03,080 Speaker 6: up an incoming nuke. 151 00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:06,600 Speaker 1: It's eleven pm. Who do you com't the first lady? 152 00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:10,120 Speaker 6: He has a team that lets him know of any 153 00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:11,520 Speaker 6: of any. 154 00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:13,960 Speaker 7: News that is pertinent and important to the American people. 155 00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:18,600 Speaker 7: He has someone or that is decided obviously with his 156 00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:21,360 Speaker 7: National security council, and who gets to tell. 157 00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:21,920 Speaker 4: Him that news? 158 00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:25,040 Speaker 2: Douglas, The best she could say is, well, we've got 159 00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:28,320 Speaker 2: a whole tame not we would wipe the president immediately in. 160 00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:29,840 Speaker 4: The event of a nuke. 161 00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:35,160 Speaker 2: Has this now gotten to the point where it's dangerous? 162 00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:38,520 Speaker 8: It's long past that point. I'm afraid because the question 163 00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:42,679 Speaker 8: that is on everybody's lips in America is who then 164 00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:45,760 Speaker 8: is running the country? Who exactly is running it? Who's 165 00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:48,440 Speaker 8: running it after four pm in the afternoon or whenever 166 00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:50,760 Speaker 8: it is that we're told that Biden starts to wind 167 00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:55,679 Speaker 8: down for the day. Are they confident about waking him 168 00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:59,480 Speaker 8: in the night? Clearly not. Queen Jean Pierre behaves. What 169 00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:02,440 Speaker 8: has ever, as if it's just impertinent to ask any 170 00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:07,719 Speaker 8: question of the Sun King and his court, and it's 171 00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:12,040 Speaker 8: very troubling. What the American public have seen growing for 172 00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:14,440 Speaker 8: a long time, in which the Democrat media have had 173 00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:18,000 Speaker 8: admit since the catastrophic debate with Trump the other week, 174 00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:21,240 Speaker 8: is that that Biden is not on top of his game, 175 00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:24,880 Speaker 8: to say the very least. And so where is the 176 00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:28,000 Speaker 8: direction of the country, where is the security of the country, 177 00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:30,800 Speaker 8: And all we get to these sort of miffed and 178 00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:37,600 Speaker 8: peeved answers from the White House press spokeswoman, and really, 179 00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:39,800 Speaker 8: you know that these are questions that should be asked, 180 00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:42,520 Speaker 8: and that furthermore, there are questions should be answered. 181 00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:43,840 Speaker 3: Well. 182 00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:48,200 Speaker 2: Absolutely, And following the US presidential debate, it was interesting 183 00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:51,520 Speaker 2: because you wrote you said, you don't think an American 184 00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:54,800 Speaker 2: journalist meaning or would be sitting in a cell in 185 00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:58,360 Speaker 2: Moscow or American hostages in Gaza if the word world 186 00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:02,440 Speaker 2: feared America. Now the president of the free world is 187 00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:06,440 Speaker 2: clearly a bumbling mess. Makes no sense not being taken 188 00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:08,400 Speaker 2: seriously here. 189 00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:12,520 Speaker 4: This is highly problematic. The world doesn't say the US 190 00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:13,560 Speaker 4: is a genuine threat. 191 00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:17,600 Speaker 8: Well, I mean, you know, there's still plenty to be 192 00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:20,600 Speaker 8: said about the US and plenty of force in it. 193 00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:24,200 Speaker 8: It's just that the direction of travel under this president 194 00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:26,079 Speaker 8: is so extraordinarily unclear. 195 00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:28,000 Speaker 1: We've seen that. 196 00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:31,480 Speaker 8: I know, we've all been told by the courtiers of 197 00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:35,160 Speaker 8: the Biden family for years that he's absolutely on top 198 00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:39,040 Speaker 8: of his game, that he absorbs things so fast, and 199 00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:43,680 Speaker 8: he asks such devastatingly pertinent questions of the people briefing him. 200 00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:48,079 Speaker 8: But nobody believes that anymore. And if the average swing 201 00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:51,440 Speaker 8: voter finds that hard to believe and they're inclined to 202 00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:54,600 Speaker 8: sort of favor the president of the United States, imagine 203 00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:59,000 Speaker 8: what Vladimir Putin thinks, or the Mullers in Tehran who 204 00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:03,720 Speaker 8: are guiding Hamaz, or the regime in Katar which hosts 205 00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:08,840 Speaker 8: terrorists whilst pretending to play middleman. It's an extremely worrying situation. 206 00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:11,959 Speaker 8: As I mentioned in that column in the New York Post. Yes, 207 00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:16,640 Speaker 8: there are American hostages in Gaza in Moscow, and I 208 00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:19,800 Speaker 8: don't think that would be the situation if the world 209 00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:24,920 Speaker 8: recognized that the superpower America was something to be fearful of, you, 210 00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:30,319 Speaker 8: that you cannot steal its citizens with impunity, and that 211 00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:32,920 Speaker 8: lesson you know, I mean, it was recently said, you 212 00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:36,600 Speaker 8: probably heard, it's been confirmed from other sources that on 213 00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:38,560 Speaker 8: the way out of the White House when Trump was 214 00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:43,120 Speaker 8: trying to negotiate the withdrawal from Afghanistan with the Taliban leaders. 215 00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:45,480 Speaker 8: But apparently he said, you know, you're not going to 216 00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:48,839 Speaker 8: touch a single hair on an American service person's head 217 00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:51,680 Speaker 8: on the way out, or I'll kill you, And then 218 00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:54,480 Speaker 8: just for emphasis, showed the Taliban leader that he had 219 00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:58,520 Speaker 8: a photograph from the air of the Taliban leader's house. Now, 220 00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:01,800 Speaker 8: I think that is is a suitable way for a 221 00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:05,760 Speaker 8: strong power to defend its citizens, for democracy to defend 222 00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:09,760 Speaker 8: its citizens. And you know, it's just night and day 223 00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:12,400 Speaker 8: difference set and I'm afraid that Americans and the rest 224 00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:14,079 Speaker 8: of the world are learning this. 225 00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:18,600 Speaker 2: So just on that, then what should Trump do if 226 00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:22,199 Speaker 2: he's reelected? What message does he need to be sending. 227 00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:27,040 Speaker 8: Oh, I think on the hostages, the message is extremely clear. 228 00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:31,160 Speaker 8: It's you will release the hostages on the first day 229 00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:33,880 Speaker 8: of my presidency. You better keep them in the best 230 00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:38,640 Speaker 8: possible condition until then, because if you don't, and you 231 00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:41,520 Speaker 8: don't release them the day I come back into office, 232 00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:44,560 Speaker 8: there isn't a tunnel or a bunker deep enough view 233 00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:47,920 Speaker 8: to escape from me. That would be the message. And 234 00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:50,720 Speaker 8: I think that I think that it would be heard. 235 00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:52,280 Speaker 4: Yeah. 236 00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:55,480 Speaker 2: Absolutely. Now, look just on Joe Biden. He spoke at 237 00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:59,320 Speaker 2: the NATO summit overnight. He started off with some strong 238 00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:01,320 Speaker 2: words on the Ukraine war. 239 00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:04,800 Speaker 9: And we know Puton won't stop at Ukraine. Would make 240 00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:09,959 Speaker 9: no mistake, Ukraine can and will stop Putin. 241 00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:13,760 Speaker 4: But then, true to form, he started stumbling. 242 00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:16,880 Speaker 9: For five additionals to the DIGA defense system. 243 00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:19,600 Speaker 2: I don't know what he said there, And then as 244 00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:22,679 Speaker 2: he started walking off stage, she clearly had no idea 245 00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:43,840 Speaker 2: where he was or who he was with. Douglas Sisters 246 00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:46,280 Speaker 2: goes to the point that you were making earlier that 247 00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:49,840 Speaker 2: he's not being taken seriously on the world stage. We're 248 00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:53,400 Speaker 2: talking an important global event, the NATO summit, where the 249 00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:57,840 Speaker 2: Ukraine War is being discussed, an important discussion, and get 250 00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:00,559 Speaker 2: the president doesn't know where he is. 251 00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:01,680 Speaker 4: He's becoming a joke. 252 00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:05,720 Speaker 8: Well, we've had this week the news that he usually 253 00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:09,480 Speaker 8: gets a briefing that includes I mean, this is horrible 254 00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:11,800 Speaker 8: to say, it's so cruel, but he apparently gets these 255 00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:14,440 Speaker 8: briefings where it shows photographs of how to get to 256 00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:17,040 Speaker 8: the stage, where the podium is, where to walk on, 257 00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:20,720 Speaker 8: where to walk off. You can't really pretend that this 258 00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:24,120 Speaker 8: is a man at the height of his powers, or 259 00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:28,400 Speaker 8: even with any real powers. It's very sad, and I 260 00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:32,920 Speaker 8: think that, you know, the people who support the Democrats 261 00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:36,360 Speaker 8: in America or would like to vote against Trump should 262 00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:38,960 Speaker 8: just reflect on what their instinct is when they see 263 00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:42,880 Speaker 8: something like that. Do they think this guy has got 264 00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:45,560 Speaker 8: another four years in him or do they think as 265 00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:49,560 Speaker 8: many of us do. This is cruel of Jill Biden 266 00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:52,000 Speaker 8: and Hunter Biden and the rest of the family not 267 00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:55,400 Speaker 8: to be saying to him, step down now, Joe, allow 268 00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:59,280 Speaker 8: a new generation to come in, leave with some dignity, 269 00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:05,440 Speaker 8: protect your legacy, and pass the baton on. It's cruel 270 00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:07,560 Speaker 8: that they're not saying that. And there's going to be 271 00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:10,440 Speaker 8: just more and more of this and just one other 272 00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:12,600 Speaker 8: quick thing. You know, the job of the President of 273 00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:15,560 Speaker 8: the United States is not just to occasionally read an 274 00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:19,960 Speaker 8: auto Q in front of allies. It is much much 275 00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:24,120 Speaker 8: more than that. It is directing policy, it is deciding policy. 276 00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:24,720 Speaker 1: Uh. 277 00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:27,680 Speaker 8: He he does these speeches where he gets sort of angry. 278 00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:30,160 Speaker 8: He can whip himself up into an anger still sometimes 279 00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:32,840 Speaker 8: when reading the auto Q. But if if he meant 280 00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:35,720 Speaker 8: what he just said about Ukraine, then then why has 281 00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:39,040 Speaker 8: America not been providing Ukraine with all of the weaponry 282 00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:41,240 Speaker 8: it's been asking for in this period, Whether you agree 283 00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:43,480 Speaker 8: with it or not, Biden says, you know, we're gonna 284 00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:46,280 Speaker 8: we're gonna stop Vladimir Putin, but then then doesn't act 285 00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:49,640 Speaker 8: on it. I mean, I think there's these are the 286 00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:52,720 Speaker 8: sort of it feels like a late Empire problem, and 287 00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:53,480 Speaker 8: I hope it's not. 288 00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:56,360 Speaker 4: Well, look, let's hope that it's not. 289 00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:58,640 Speaker 2: And just just on that point, you know, he's got 290 00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:01,200 Speaker 2: these big photos of how you need to walk from 291 00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:05,200 Speaker 2: the stage to the podium. There's reports that White House 292 00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:08,440 Speaker 2: advisors for more than a year have had to aggressively 293 00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:15,680 Speaker 2: stage manage his schedule, his movements, his interactions. You know, Douglas, 294 00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:19,040 Speaker 2: how long can the White House and Jill Biden, as 295 00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:22,320 Speaker 2: you mentioned, the Biden family, how long can they really 296 00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:26,320 Speaker 2: keep up this facade if he is to go another term. 297 00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:28,520 Speaker 1: They can't. 298 00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:33,080 Speaker 8: They can't. It's perfectly clear, and with every day they 299 00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:35,400 Speaker 8: just can't keep it up. I mean, they will for 300 00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:38,000 Speaker 8: a little time, but the longer they leave it, the 301 00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:41,400 Speaker 8: more humiliating it's going to be for everybody, not least 302 00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:44,680 Speaker 8: the America. The harder it'll be for the Democrats to 303 00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:49,160 Speaker 8: find a candidate or a running mate, and a candidate 304 00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:52,320 Speaker 8: who can be introduced to the American public in time 305 00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:55,560 Speaker 8: for the polls in November. You know, the longer the 306 00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:58,120 Speaker 8: Bidens leave this, the worst it is for the Bidens, 307 00:16:58,160 --> 00:16:59,840 Speaker 8: the worst it is for America, and the worst it 308 00:16:59,880 --> 00:17:04,080 Speaker 8: is for their political party. You know, that's what makes 309 00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:09,800 Speaker 8: no sense, when when your political opponents are running rings 310 00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:14,040 Speaker 8: around you and ridiculing you, when your rivals on the 311 00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:19,119 Speaker 8: world stage are mocking you, when your own side is saying, 312 00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:23,240 Speaker 8: in the name of God, go and you cling on, 313 00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:28,040 Speaker 8: there's something cruel about that. There's something very unusual about it. 314 00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:30,880 Speaker 2: Certainly, well, you just would want to say a loved 315 00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:33,800 Speaker 2: one in that position. It's just extraordinary that they're letting 316 00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:36,840 Speaker 2: this go on for so long. Look, let's move on now, 317 00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:41,520 Speaker 2: because three Columbia University deans have been removed from their 318 00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:45,960 Speaker 2: positions and placed on indefinitely over text messages they sent 319 00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:49,320 Speaker 2: during a panel about Jewish life on campus that quote 320 00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:54,960 Speaker 2: disturbingly touched on ancient anti Semitic tropes. Now, Douglas, we 321 00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:57,600 Speaker 2: know this university has failed on many fronts. That let 322 00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:01,639 Speaker 2: pro Palestine protesters run rampant ad encampments. And now this 323 00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:05,280 Speaker 2: what does it say about the state of the university system. 324 00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:09,280 Speaker 8: Well, it says nobody should send their kids to Columbia, 325 00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:12,719 Speaker 8: nobody should give any money to Columbia. Columbia should not 326 00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:16,639 Speaker 8: have federal funding labor. Look, I mean, it's just a 327 00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:21,800 Speaker 8: total mess. There's no reason. Whatever students think about international affairs, 328 00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:25,600 Speaker 8: there is nothing that should allow them to shut down 329 00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:29,360 Speaker 8: the study of other students on campus, prevent students from 330 00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:33,800 Speaker 8: learning even as they're getting into significant personal debt. And 331 00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:37,560 Speaker 8: what's more, to get away with screaming at Jewish students 332 00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:43,320 Speaker 8: things like go back to Poland or saying these Jewish 333 00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:46,119 Speaker 8: students should be the next targets of Hamaz, both of 334 00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:48,600 Speaker 8: which were things that were screamed at Jewish students on 335 00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:51,439 Speaker 8: the Columbia campus. Then for them to be a hearing 336 00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:57,119 Speaker 8: about those sorts of racist slurs, and for these dems 337 00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:01,399 Speaker 8: to be actually engaging in more racism during it, you 338 00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:04,400 Speaker 8: just have to do the experiment any other way. If 339 00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:09,480 Speaker 8: there had been an anti black protest on campus at 340 00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:13,000 Speaker 8: Columbia for an hour, it would have been shut down. 341 00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:15,399 Speaker 8: It would not have been allowed. If there was a 342 00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:19,679 Speaker 8: protest on Columbia's campus that went on for weeks and 343 00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:22,879 Speaker 8: weeks calling for the lynching of black people. I don't 344 00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:27,480 Speaker 8: think that it would be difficult for everyone in American 345 00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:31,080 Speaker 8: society and particularly the faculty, to condemn any students and 346 00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:33,680 Speaker 8: outside is engaging in that. And what's more, if there 347 00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:36,320 Speaker 8: was a hearing about that and there were racial slurs 348 00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:40,119 Speaker 8: being hurled around about black students by deans and employees 349 00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:43,720 Speaker 8: of the university, all hell would be let loose. In fact, 350 00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:46,600 Speaker 8: I suspect that the campus would be over. I suspect 351 00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:49,600 Speaker 8: that Columbia's storied and rich history would come to an 352 00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:54,240 Speaker 8: end that day. But it wasn't black students, it was Jews. 353 00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:58,240 Speaker 8: And this just shows one of the appalling standards of 354 00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:04,800 Speaker 8: our time. Columbia students have been let down by their authorities, 355 00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:07,840 Speaker 8: but this is a spiral that that institution is in. 356 00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:11,119 Speaker 8: These are always elite things when you're talking about sort 357 00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:15,120 Speaker 8: of Ivy League colleges, but this just shows how rotten 358 00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:17,560 Speaker 8: elite institutions can become. 359 00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:23,000 Speaker 2: Absolutely, the double standards on display have just been astonishing, 360 00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:25,040 Speaker 2: and not just at Columbia. We've seen it all around 361 00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:26,480 Speaker 2: the world, even here in Australia. 362 00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:29,280 Speaker 4: It's just been terrible at these universities. 363 00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:33,000 Speaker 2: Now New York City hotels housing migrants have brought in 364 00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:36,960 Speaker 2: would you believe, over a billion dollars in taxpayer funds 365 00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:40,960 Speaker 2: since converting their buildings into migrant shelters. That's according to 366 00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:44,480 Speaker 2: the New York Post Douglas, New York City is spending 367 00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:47,720 Speaker 2: an average of one hundred and fifty six US. 368 00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:51,920 Speaker 3: Dollars per room per night on hotel rooms that house migrants, 369 00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:54,280 Speaker 3: some up to three hundred dollars. 370 00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:56,880 Speaker 4: Where do you draw the line here? This is out 371 00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:57,520 Speaker 4: of control. 372 00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:01,080 Speaker 8: The whole thing's been out of con for a long time. 373 00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:07,520 Speaker 8: Sanctuary cities in the US, I'm afraid reaping what they sowed. 374 00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:11,560 Speaker 8: They said, you know, these are places where illegal migrants 375 00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:15,119 Speaker 8: can come. And the illegal migrants came and there was 376 00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:17,400 Speaker 8: nowhere for them. And so the authorities in New York 377 00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:20,119 Speaker 8: have got into this racket. And by the way, it 378 00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:26,280 Speaker 8: is a racket. The huge spending on hotels, I mean, 379 00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:29,440 Speaker 8: it's apart from being preposterous, there are people who very 380 00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:33,080 Speaker 8: cynically benefit from that, who have got into the business 381 00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:38,240 Speaker 8: of this, and who are raking in the taxpayers' money 382 00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:41,320 Speaker 8: as they put up all of these people who shouldn't 383 00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:44,480 Speaker 8: be in the US. And I say that completely straightforward, 384 00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:48,160 Speaker 8: because you know, everywhere in the twenty first century, migration 385 00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:50,800 Speaker 8: is going to be an issue. Everywhere that is a 386 00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:54,440 Speaker 8: developed country is going to be under pressure. In this century, 387 00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:58,000 Speaker 8: the mass movement of people has never been easier. And 388 00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:03,240 Speaker 8: unfortunately that very time time, countries like America have decided 389 00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:05,840 Speaker 8: to punish people who go to the legal route and 390 00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:09,080 Speaker 8: a reward people who've gone the illegal route. And if 391 00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:13,440 Speaker 8: you're a legal worker in the United States, have gone 392 00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:16,280 Speaker 8: through all the right things, paid your lawyers, got your 393 00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:18,920 Speaker 8: papers in order, and all of that, you're the mug 394 00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:21,760 Speaker 8: because it turned out you could just walk over the 395 00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:24,040 Speaker 8: border and you could be put up in a three 396 00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:26,880 Speaker 8: hundred dollars a night hotel with a swimming pool, which 397 00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:29,280 Speaker 8: is not an exaggeration. In New York City, in the 398 00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:32,720 Speaker 8: heart of Manhattan. Nobody has a right to live in Manhattan. 399 00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:36,160 Speaker 8: Nobody has a right to live in the most expensive 400 00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:39,680 Speaker 8: bit of real estate in the world. But why do 401 00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:43,600 Speaker 8: so many Democrats think that if you come illegally, you 402 00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:47,320 Speaker 8: actually do have that right. It's inexplicable, not least, but 403 00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:51,160 Speaker 8: it undercuts their own voter base. They may think they're 404 00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:53,200 Speaker 8: importing a new voter base. I've got news for them. 405 00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:55,919 Speaker 8: It undercuts their own voter base because if you go 406 00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:58,680 Speaker 8: to those hotels in New York City where the illegal 407 00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:03,880 Speaker 8: migrants of being housed filled outside with delivery bicycles, because 408 00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:07,040 Speaker 8: all of these guys, and they're mainly guys, do illegal 409 00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:12,240 Speaker 8: work for delivery companies and totally destroy the legal workforce. 410 00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:16,639 Speaker 8: So good luck the Worker's Party, who thought you were 411 00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:19,359 Speaker 8: doing anything good for your country by actually just letting 412 00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:20,160 Speaker 8: the borders go. 413 00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:21,080 Speaker 1: Yeah. 414 00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:25,000 Speaker 2: Meanwhile, there's a cost of living crisis in the United States. 415 00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:27,880 Speaker 2: People can't even afford to be in a home. Yet 416 00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:30,360 Speaker 2: the illegals get this handed on a silver platter. It's 417 00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:33,560 Speaker 2: just shocking. Now, let's talk about the UK election result. 418 00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:38,119 Speaker 2: You wrote about how the Tories only have themselves to 419 00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:40,320 Speaker 2: blame for what occurred over the weekend. 420 00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:44,040 Speaker 4: Where do you think it all went wrong for them? 421 00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:48,760 Speaker 8: Around about two thousand and six, in my view, David 422 00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:53,880 Speaker 8: Cameron announced that he was going to detoxify the Conservative Party. 423 00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:59,040 Speaker 8: He just made it wooly and boke. All the promises 424 00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:03,280 Speaker 8: that he made, such as they were. It was a 425 00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:06,840 Speaker 8: lack lass of five years of a parliament where he 426 00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:10,520 Speaker 8: had to be in government with the Liberal Democrats and 427 00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:13,040 Speaker 8: Nick Quig remember him, Wow, what talent. 428 00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:15,280 Speaker 1: And then we had the. 429 00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:19,600 Speaker 8: Brexit years and the Tory in fighting and the stabbing 430 00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:22,880 Speaker 8: in the back and prime minister after prime minister and 431 00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:26,440 Speaker 8: deadlock in a total I mean, the way in which 432 00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:29,240 Speaker 8: the Conservative Party seemed to think that the nation had 433 00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:35,240 Speaker 8: an absolutely limitless appetite for Conservatives to have infighting in 434 00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:39,280 Speaker 8: the party. It was just astonishing to me, and you know, 435 00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:42,560 Speaker 8: we watched it happen. Couldn't believe the lack of discipline, 436 00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:45,880 Speaker 8: couldn't believe the lack of delivery. David Cameron came in 437 00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:49,879 Speaker 8: in twenty ten promising to lower migration from the hundreds 438 00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:52,800 Speaker 8: of thousands a year to the tens of thousands like 439 00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:55,919 Speaker 8: in the nineteen nineties before Blair. They leave office with 440 00:24:56,160 --> 00:25:00,440 Speaker 8: migrat net migration nearer one million in a year. They 441 00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:03,280 Speaker 8: let down everyone. They've got very little to show for 442 00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:06,360 Speaker 8: their time in office. They were there for fourteen years 443 00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:10,080 Speaker 8: and what few things they did achieve are all now 444 00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:14,320 Speaker 8: going to be wiped away by the historic label landslide 445 00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:19,119 Speaker 8: of Kirstarmer, a man who absolutely nobody is enthusiastic about 446 00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:22,760 Speaker 8: it's not that Britain swung left. It didn't. It just 447 00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:26,640 Speaker 8: voted against the Conservative Party. And maybe they will use 448 00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:31,120 Speaker 8: their time in opposition to try to cohere, actually be conservative, 449 00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:35,080 Speaker 8: actually come up with some policies that differentiate themselves from 450 00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:35,760 Speaker 8: the other parties. 451 00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:37,280 Speaker 1: Well, maybe they won't. 452 00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:42,360 Speaker 8: Maybe they will just disappear into history. That can happen. 453 00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:45,520 Speaker 8: There is no law of nature that means that the 454 00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:50,720 Speaker 8: Conservative Party should never die. Maybe it will, we'll see. 455 00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:52,640 Speaker 4: We'll find out. Now. 456 00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:55,600 Speaker 2: Nigel Farage has given his first ever speech in the 457 00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:57,760 Speaker 2: Commons as Leader of Reform UK. 458 00:25:57,960 --> 00:25:58,840 Speaker 4: This is what he said. 459 00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:00,920 Speaker 1: We are the new on the block. 460 00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:04,800 Speaker 10: We have no experience in this Parliament whatsoever, even though 461 00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:07,879 Speaker 10: some of us have tried many times over the years 462 00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:11,640 Speaker 10: previously to get here. So we can't judge you from 463 00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:14,400 Speaker 10: working in this place, but we can judge you from 464 00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:16,919 Speaker 10: the way the outside world sees you. And I know 465 00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:19,359 Speaker 10: it just mean the United Kingdom, I mean the world 466 00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:24,199 Speaker 10: because Prime Minister's questions time is global box office politics. 467 00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:25,320 Speaker 4: Douglas. 468 00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:28,240 Speaker 2: He's got them all rattled already and he's only just begun. 469 00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:30,320 Speaker 2: And what sort of a force do you think Nigel 470 00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:31,960 Speaker 2: Farage will be in UK? 471 00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:32,520 Speaker 4: Parliament. 472 00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:35,639 Speaker 8: It's gonna be very interesting. I mean, I've got you 473 00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:38,040 Speaker 8: what a frosty reception he got there. There weren't very 474 00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:44,320 Speaker 8: many convivial, comrade ly jeers were there. I suspect he will, 475 00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:47,359 Speaker 8: and if he's wise, he will use the opportunity as 476 00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:52,800 Speaker 8: a really remarkable platform. There are lots of things that 477 00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:56,480 Speaker 8: can happen from here. For Farage and the other reform MPs, 478 00:26:56,920 --> 00:27:00,440 Speaker 8: they could be a sort of nuisance block. They could 479 00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:04,920 Speaker 8: make noise, use it as a platform like Rice very 480 00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:09,000 Speaker 8: cleverly did the EU Parliament to effectively broadcast to a 481 00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:10,000 Speaker 8: wider audience. 482 00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:12,000 Speaker 1: Or they could use it to. 483 00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:17,199 Speaker 8: Coalition build, to friend build. They could do an awful 484 00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:19,720 Speaker 8: lot of things. They can cause trouble, but they can 485 00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:22,920 Speaker 8: do lots more than cause trouble as well. The problem 486 00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:25,480 Speaker 8: is that the size of the Labor majority as such 487 00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:27,960 Speaker 8: that I suspect that in the coming years the main 488 00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:32,280 Speaker 8: opposition to the Labor front bench will be the backbenches 489 00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:36,280 Speaker 8: of the Labor Party, because everyone else has very little 490 00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:38,280 Speaker 8: voting sway in them. 491 00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:40,640 Speaker 2: And that's a really fair point. 492 00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:41,040 Speaker 4: Douglas. 493 00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:43,000 Speaker 2: Before we let you go, I just want to ask 494 00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:44,879 Speaker 2: you about the situation in France. 495 00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:47,320 Speaker 4: Where riots and violence. 496 00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:49,520 Speaker 2: Have erupted after the left defeated the far right and 497 00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:50,920 Speaker 2: an unexpected victory. 498 00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:53,440 Speaker 4: Now this is on the streets of Paris. 499 00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:02,520 Speaker 2: Shopping scenes, and we also saw the far left clash 500 00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:06,000 Speaker 2: with police as they celebrated the victory. Douglas, you know, 501 00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:09,919 Speaker 2: the far left are just as dangerous, if not more dangerous, 502 00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:12,520 Speaker 2: than the fringe right. But what does it tell you 503 00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:15,080 Speaker 2: when you say these scenes unfolding right now? 504 00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:21,200 Speaker 8: We know it's the fault of Macron for his hubris. 505 00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:26,960 Speaker 8: Paris is about to host the Olympics.

Yes, her 583 00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:09,919 Speaker 2: brain capacity is genuinely at the same low level as 584 00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:13,560 Speaker 2: Joe Biden's, and the left wing media, who were finally 585 00:34:13,640 --> 00:34:17,440 Speaker 2: realized the president is indeed mentally incompetent, have been plunged 586 00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:20,760 Speaker 2: into a state of panic. It's only taken them four years, 587 00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:24,680 Speaker 2: but they now know he is a potato, and so 588 00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:27,879 Speaker 2: suddenly the race is on to trundle out doctors left, 589 00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:31,920 Speaker 2: right and center to make urgent medical diagnoses. 590 00:34:32,440 --> 00:34:35,840 Speaker 14: There was cause for concern stumbling of speech, sort of confused, 591 00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:39,239 Speaker 14: rambling at times, and they're also motor symptoms, you know, 592 00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:41,960 Speaker 14: lack of expression in the face if you take a look, 593 00:34:42,440 --> 00:34:45,200 Speaker 14: slow response time. I think we saw that, you know, 594 00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:50,439 Speaker 14: sort of in a sustained fashion, definitive word retrieval mix ups, 595 00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:56,799 Speaker 14: rambling sometimes confused speech, reduced voice volume as well, and 596 00:34:56,840 --> 00:34:58,560 Speaker 14: reduced facial movements. 597 00:34:58,200 --> 00:35:01,080 Speaker 1: Because he has just a classic feature of nerd degeneration. 598 00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:02,959 Speaker 4: I mean word finding difficulties. 599 00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:04,480 Speaker 1: And that's not oh I couldn't find the word. 600 00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:07,560 Speaker 14: That's from degeneration of the word retrieval area. 601 00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:09,960 Speaker 2: Good to say that, I've only just realized he has 602 00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:12,400 Speaker 2: the cognitive ability of a pee. 603 00:35:12,680 --> 00:35:14,799 Speaker 4: They never learned, do they.

Not even a humid summer evening could 606 00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:25,120 Speaker 2: stop the thousands from attending, many wearing T shirts with 607 00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:29,239 Speaker 2: his mugshot on it.

Now, 638 00:37:04,560 --> 00:37:06,799 Speaker 2: I'm not so sure Joe Biden would even be able 639 00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:08,360 Speaker 2: to stand up long enough to make it. 640 00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:09,200 Speaker 4: To the first hole. 641 00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:11,040 Speaker 2: So I don't know what about you, but I would 642 00:37:11,080 --> 00:37:13,719 Speaker 2: pay money to watch the president try and swing at 643 00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:14,400 Speaker 2: golf club. 644 00:37:15,560 --> 00:37:17,879 Speaker 1: Well, thanks, Donik, it's great to be on with you.

So at some point this is 649 00:37:26,520 --> 00:37:30,840 Speaker 6: just elder abuse. So it's some fun trolling by Donald Trump. 650 00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:34,200 Speaker 6: But if you look at the condition Joe Biden is in, right, 651 00:37:34,239 --> 00:37:37,960 Speaker 6: you know, if stairs are your mortal enemy and bakes 652 00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:40,360 Speaker 6: as well, maybe golf is no longer really your sport. 653 00:37:41,040 --> 00:37:44,520 Speaker 2: No, I think you've absolutely raised a good point there, definitely, Ralph. 654 00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:47,799 Speaker 2: Now look, let's talk about the situation in France, where 655 00:37:48,120 --> 00:37:51,160 Speaker 2: of course riots and violence have erupted after the far 656 00:37:51,320 --> 00:37:53,560 Speaker 2: left defeated the far right in an election. 657 00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:57,279 Speaker 4: Shock, Ralph, what have the French actually voted for here? 658 00:37:58,600 --> 00:38:00,640 Speaker 1: Well? Defeat it as a tricky term. 659 00:38:00,680 --> 00:38:02,960 Speaker 6: No, you're correct when it comes to parliamentary seats that 660 00:38:03,040 --> 00:38:05,800 Speaker 6: have been defeated. But if you look at the popular vote, 661 00:38:06,560 --> 00:38:10,280 Speaker 6: the National Rally actually increased significantly. They got about ten million, 662 00:38:10,440 --> 00:38:14,040 Speaker 6: whereas Macros's quote unquote centrist party because he's no longer 663 00:38:14,080 --> 00:38:17,640 Speaker 6: a centrist. If you ally with the Islamists and the communists, 664 00:38:17,760 --> 00:38:19,400 Speaker 6: I'm sorry, you're not a centrist. 665 00:38:19,640 --> 00:38:21,000 Speaker 1: But he got about six million. 666 00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:25,080 Speaker 6: And the New Popular Front, which is this alliance of 667 00:38:26,200 --> 00:38:29,040 Speaker 6: traditional left wing us like the Socialists and the Greens, 668 00:38:29,080 --> 00:38:31,800 Speaker 6: but also more radical elements like the Communists like trots 669 00:38:31,880 --> 00:38:35,520 Speaker 6: Kiss and open Hamas and Islamist sympathizers, they also got 670 00:38:35,560 --> 00:38:39,359 Speaker 6: around six millions. So kind of the National Rally won 671 00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:42,880 Speaker 6: the popular vote, but due to the election system in France, 672 00:38:42,920 --> 00:38:46,200 Speaker 6: there was kind of tactical alliance between the quote unquote 673 00:38:46,280 --> 00:38:50,160 Speaker 6: center and the radical left, so they got more seats. 674 00:38:50,360 --> 00:38:53,280 Speaker 1: So the trend towards the right in Europe is continuing. 675 00:38:53,320 --> 00:38:54,960 Speaker 6: I mean, we saw the same by the way, in 676 00:38:55,040 --> 00:38:57,680 Speaker 6: the United Kingdom, as many of your viewers are familiar 677 00:38:57,719 --> 00:39:00,920 Speaker 6: with Nigel Farage, But Nigel Farash got fourteen percent of 678 00:39:00,960 --> 00:39:04,360 Speaker 6: the popular vote, but it only translated into five seats, 679 00:39:04,440 --> 00:39:07,120 Speaker 6: right as the lip Dams, for example, only got twelve 680 00:39:07,200 --> 00:39:09,480 Speaker 6: percent of the vote and they got seventy two seats 681 00:39:09,520 --> 00:39:10,040 Speaker 6: in parliament. 682 00:39:10,320 --> 00:39:11,759 Speaker 1: So there is a mismatch at them. 683 00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:13,680 Speaker 6: I mean, we always have to deal with the voting system, 684 00:39:13,719 --> 00:39:16,040 Speaker 6: there is, but there is a mismatch at the moment. 685 00:39:16,080 --> 00:39:19,279 Speaker 6: I think where the popular movement is, where the populacets are, 686 00:39:19,360 --> 00:39:22,120 Speaker 6: and what the population is and how it translates into 687 00:39:22,200 --> 00:39:25,080 Speaker 6: actual political power. But this was not the breaking of 688 00:39:25,160 --> 00:39:27,120 Speaker 6: the conservative or whatever you want to call it, or 689 00:39:27,160 --> 00:39:29,400 Speaker 6: the right wing wave that is building in Europe. I 690 00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:31,680 Speaker 6: would say this is more calm before the storm, because 691 00:39:31,719 --> 00:39:33,080 Speaker 6: the trend lines are still there. 692 00:39:33,719 --> 00:39:35,600 Speaker 2: Well, I was going to ask you about that, because 693 00:39:35,640 --> 00:39:38,520 Speaker 2: what does it say about the leadership of the West 694 00:39:38,680 --> 00:39:41,920 Speaker 2: right now? Look at France, Kiir Starmer in the UK, 695 00:39:42,160 --> 00:39:45,680 Speaker 2: Joe Biden in the US, Justin Trudeau in Canada for example, 696 00:39:46,360 --> 00:39:47,600 Speaker 2: where is the world heading to? 697 00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:50,840 Speaker 6: Well? I think what it does tell you and I 698 00:39:50,920 --> 00:39:52,680 Speaker 6: think this is one of the most important things we 699 00:39:52,760 --> 00:39:54,960 Speaker 6: don't talk about enough. Look at the people you just 700 00:39:55,160 --> 00:39:59,720 Speaker 6: mentioned just In Trudeauugh Peostarmer, Joe Biden. In my opinion, 701 00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:02,160 Speaker 6: if you look at their agendas, if you look with 702 00:40:02,280 --> 00:40:06,560 Speaker 6: whom they is around themselves, from the radical transgender agenda 703 00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:11,960 Speaker 6: to net zero and caa radical environmentalism, those are the radicals. 704 00:40:12,320 --> 00:40:15,400 Speaker 6: Very often the so called right wing populist If you 705 00:40:15,440 --> 00:40:17,680 Speaker 6: look at their program they are not the radicals. I 706 00:40:17,760 --> 00:40:21,239 Speaker 6: think the biggest brainwashing operation of the last twenty years 707 00:40:21,960 --> 00:40:24,719 Speaker 6: was to tell the people that the opposition, the right 708 00:40:24,760 --> 00:40:28,160 Speaker 6: wing opposition, are the radicals and those in government are 709 00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:31,040 Speaker 6: the moderates. It's exactly the other way around. We actually 710 00:40:31,080 --> 00:40:33,399 Speaker 6: have been gathered for twenty years. And this is also 711 00:40:33,480 --> 00:40:36,000 Speaker 6: d on the European Union level. We've been governed by 712 00:40:36,120 --> 00:40:38,520 Speaker 6: radicals for the last twenty years, and it was the 713 00:40:38,680 --> 00:40:43,080 Speaker 6: moderate opposition. The main winning agenda of the so called 714 00:40:43,160 --> 00:40:46,640 Speaker 6: right wing is their common sense approach. Wherever they stick 715 00:40:46,680 --> 00:40:49,200 Speaker 6: to their common sense, they're winning. And Donald Trump is 716 00:40:49,239 --> 00:40:51,600 Speaker 6: the best example of this. Look at this, at the 717 00:40:51,680 --> 00:40:54,600 Speaker 6: current Republican platform, look at their programs, Look at the 718 00:40:54,680 --> 00:40:58,400 Speaker 6: way he carried himself during the debate. Donald Trump is 719 00:40:58,480 --> 00:41:00,560 Speaker 6: not a radical. I don't care that the Who Republic 720 00:41:00,640 --> 00:41:02,520 Speaker 6: had him as Hitler on their cover. 721 00:41:02,800 --> 00:41:04,960 Speaker 1: This is all they have. Again, they do the same thing. 722 00:41:05,239 --> 00:41:09,719 Speaker 6: It's moderate acquisitions, but they say you're Hitler anyways, and unfortunately, 723 00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:12,680 Speaker 6: which is nobody's fault. But very often they still works 724 00:41:12,719 --> 00:41:15,400 Speaker 6: with the electorate because most people don't. 725 00:41:15,200 --> 00:41:17,239 Speaker 1: Have the time to engage with politics all the time, 726 00:41:17,360 --> 00:41:17,759 Speaker 1: like you and I. 727 00:41:18,200 --> 00:41:20,600 Speaker 6: So if the mainstream media constant it tells you these 728 00:41:20,640 --> 00:41:23,319 Speaker 6: guys are like Hitler, you assume, well, if the media 729 00:41:23,400 --> 00:41:25,400 Speaker 6: say so, it's probably true. But I think we're gradually 730 00:41:25,440 --> 00:41:28,080 Speaker 6: see people realizing the media lize to you. And the 731 00:41:28,200 --> 00:41:31,279 Speaker 6: best evidence we have for this is just remember we've 732 00:41:31,360 --> 00:41:36,080 Speaker 6: been told for four years that Joe Biden is the fittest, smartest, 733 00:41:36,320 --> 00:41:39,319 Speaker 6: most brilliant man ever to occupy the White House. 734 00:41:39,560 --> 00:41:41,200 Speaker 1: We all know now that this was a lie, that 735 00:41:41,239 --> 00:41:43,879 Speaker 1: it was visible for everyone what I used to see. 736 00:41:45,120 --> 00:41:47,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, now, look at the lefty media in the US 737 00:41:47,200 --> 00:41:50,960 Speaker 2: scrambling to take back the last four years of denial now. 738 00:41:51,160 --> 00:41:55,040 Speaker 2: Quebec based journalist Alexandra Lavoy has posted this video on 739 00:41:55,200 --> 00:41:59,920 Speaker 2: immigration growth in Paris. She says Paris is now almost unrecognizable. 740 00:42:17,600 --> 00:42:17,839 Speaker 4: Ralph. 741 00:42:17,920 --> 00:42:21,200 Speaker 2: This journalist has described what she saw as shocking almost 742 00:42:21,320 --> 00:42:26,080 Speaker 2: all immigrants African style, straight markets, litter and garbage everywhere. 743 00:42:25,600 --> 00:42:29,000 Speaker 4: On the ground. Will this get worse under the far left? 744 00:42:30,560 --> 00:42:33,520 Speaker 6: I mean, if you look at what's the program of 745 00:42:33,640 --> 00:42:36,600 Speaker 6: Sean Luke Menichew, like one of the more radical members 746 00:42:36,640 --> 00:42:39,200 Speaker 6: of the French Left Alliance, were saying, they are talking 747 00:42:39,320 --> 00:42:43,839 Speaker 6: about granting refugee star status to so called climate refugees, 748 00:42:43,880 --> 00:42:45,800 Speaker 6: which we can talk the detail I think is a 749 00:42:45,880 --> 00:42:48,640 Speaker 6: bollocks term, but that's besides the point. And according to 750 00:42:48,719 --> 00:42:52,320 Speaker 6: the UN, there's about one point two billion climate refugees 751 00:42:52,320 --> 00:42:54,680 Speaker 6: already in the world, so good luck for France to 752 00:42:54,800 --> 00:42:55,120 Speaker 6: take in. 753 00:42:55,200 --> 00:42:56,640 Speaker 1: One point two billion refugees. 754 00:42:57,360 --> 00:42:59,200 Speaker 6: You will no longer like you will have a place 755 00:42:59,280 --> 00:43:01,239 Speaker 6: on the map that is called France, but there will 756 00:43:01,320 --> 00:43:02,560 Speaker 6: no longer be a French nation. 757 00:43:02,880 --> 00:43:04,840 Speaker 2: Ralph Sholhamma, we have to leave it there. Thank you 758 00:43:04,960 --> 00:43:07,279 Speaker 2: very much for joining us. This evening still to come. 759 00:43:07,360 --> 00:43:10,120 Speaker 2: Prince William appears to close the door on his brother 760 00:43:10,600 --> 00:43:12,719 Speaker 2: and a famous Hollywood actor goes. 761 00:43:12,640 --> 00:43:14,520 Speaker 4: Undercover as a normal person. 762 00:43:15,000 --> 00:43:15,200 Speaker 1: D D. 763 00:43:15,360 --> 00:43:17,319 Speaker 4: Dun Levy joins me next after this. 764 00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:30,719 Speaker 2: Welcome back, joining me now is broadcaster and commentator d D. 765 00:43:30,920 --> 00:43:32,960 Speaker 4: Done Levy. Thank you so much for joining us. 766 00:43:33,360 --> 00:43:36,439 Speaker 2: So, Prince William is said to have banned his brother 767 00:43:36,640 --> 00:43:39,440 Speaker 2: Prince Harry, from ever returning to the Royal Fold. That's 768 00:43:39,480 --> 00:43:43,520 Speaker 2: according to British royals expert Hillary Forditch, who says, to 769 00:43:43,640 --> 00:43:47,200 Speaker 2: this day, after the release of Spare and that Netflix series, 770 00:43:47,600 --> 00:43:50,120 Speaker 2: as well as everything else that Harry's done, it's Prince 771 00:43:50,200 --> 00:43:53,560 Speaker 2: William who adamantly refuses to even speak to his brother. 772 00:43:53,760 --> 00:43:54,000 Speaker 15: D D. 773 00:43:54,160 --> 00:43:56,759 Speaker 2: Look, this is hardly surprising. Why on earth would they 774 00:43:56,840 --> 00:43:59,000 Speaker 2: ever want Harry back into the fold. 775 00:44:00,080 --> 00:44:02,880 Speaker 3: Well, I think it's a little part of me, a 776 00:44:02,920 --> 00:44:06,240 Speaker 3: little part of probably everyone in Britain and Royal watches 777 00:44:06,320 --> 00:44:08,960 Speaker 3: that would actually like the Royal family to be all 778 00:44:09,120 --> 00:44:13,520 Speaker 3: reunited and unified, which I don't suspect will happen while 779 00:44:13,680 --> 00:44:16,799 Speaker 3: Meghan is still part of the whole picture. And there's 780 00:44:16,880 --> 00:44:19,520 Speaker 3: talk that William is the sort of the enforcer, the 781 00:44:19,560 --> 00:44:20,800 Speaker 3: tough guy of the Royal family. 782 00:44:20,920 --> 00:44:22,080 Speaker 4: Prince Charles is a pushover. 783 00:44:22,160 --> 00:44:24,719 Speaker 3: I think he'd take Harry back in a heartbeat, but 784 00:44:24,840 --> 00:44:27,360 Speaker 3: William's sort of taken on that role that Prince Philip 785 00:44:29,320 --> 00:44:32,279 Speaker 3: led where he was the tough guy of it. I 786 00:44:32,440 --> 00:44:34,319 Speaker 3: think I can see William's point of view as well. 787 00:44:34,400 --> 00:44:37,960 Speaker 3: He's more protective of I think the upset that Harry 788 00:44:38,080 --> 00:44:41,880 Speaker 3: caused while the Queen was in her dying weeks, months, 789 00:44:42,760 --> 00:44:46,480 Speaker 3: even years, and so that's probably why William has such 790 00:44:46,520 --> 00:44:50,839 Speaker 3: a stronger feeling toward Harry. But I just can't see 791 00:44:50,880 --> 00:44:53,000 Speaker 3: it happening. I think what the Royal family should do 792 00:44:53,239 --> 00:44:55,880 Speaker 3: is actually sever all ties with this pair with Harry 793 00:44:55,920 --> 00:44:59,160 Speaker 3: and Meghan, because that then devalues their currency. Does it 794 00:44:59,680 --> 00:45:03,000 Speaker 3: if the not former Royals and can't keep referring to that, 795 00:45:03,560 --> 00:45:05,879 Speaker 3: than all her little schemes to make money they really 796 00:45:05,920 --> 00:45:06,720 Speaker 3: not worth anything. 797 00:45:07,400 --> 00:45:09,800 Speaker 2: Well, clearly I don't think they're worth anything as it 798 00:45:09,880 --> 00:45:14,720 Speaker 2: stands now. Look, Carnie West is reportedly retiring from professional music, 799 00:45:14,880 --> 00:45:16,759 Speaker 2: according to an alleged text. 800 00:45:16,600 --> 00:45:18,080 Speaker 4: Exchange with Rich the Kid. 801 00:45:18,520 --> 00:45:21,920 Speaker 2: Now Rich the Kid uploaded a screenshot to his Instagram 802 00:45:22,320 --> 00:45:25,840 Speaker 2: of messages he'd received from an iPhone contact under the 803 00:45:25,920 --> 00:45:28,839 Speaker 2: name ye reading I'm retiring from professional music. 804 00:45:28,960 --> 00:45:31,160 Speaker 4: Not sure what else to do. Rich then tried to 805 00:45:31,239 --> 00:45:34,560 Speaker 4: convince the father of four to reconsider his decision. DD 806 00:45:34,760 --> 00:45:35,600 Speaker 4: it seems. 807 00:45:35,480 --> 00:45:38,920 Speaker 2: Carnie's well highly controversial, rather strange at times. 808 00:45:39,040 --> 00:45:42,200 Speaker 3: Career is at the end of the road, the stage 809 00:45:42,280 --> 00:45:46,239 Speaker 3: at all times. I think, Look, I don't think either 810 00:45:46,280 --> 00:45:47,360 Speaker 3: of us or anyone's going to. 811 00:45:47,360 --> 00:45:48,520 Speaker 4: Fall for this at all. 812 00:45:49,080 --> 00:45:51,960 Speaker 3: I think Kanye craves the spotlight. I don't think he 813 00:45:52,239 --> 00:45:54,600 Speaker 3: can live without it. Just take a look at he 814 00:45:54,760 --> 00:45:58,160 Speaker 3: and his partner. They clearly love the attention. This all 815 00:45:58,239 --> 00:46:00,719 Speaker 3: feels very manufactured to me. And he's actually smart of 816 00:46:00,800 --> 00:46:03,640 Speaker 3: Carne that he's linked himself. I know he's released a 817 00:46:03,680 --> 00:46:08,399 Speaker 3: single with this artist who I'd never heard of neither, 818 00:46:09,880 --> 00:46:12,719 Speaker 3: But to align yourself with the younger artist and to 819 00:46:12,800 --> 00:46:15,120 Speaker 3: do something like this, it kind of gives him, you know, 820 00:46:15,560 --> 00:46:17,680 Speaker 3: a bit of more than longevity in the business. And 821 00:46:17,719 --> 00:46:19,640 Speaker 3: he's done very well for himself. I think he knows 822 00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:22,920 Speaker 3: from a marketing perspective what he's doing. And I think 823 00:46:22,960 --> 00:46:25,560 Speaker 3: the whole thing was staged for publicity. 824 00:46:25,880 --> 00:46:26,080 Speaker 1: Yeah. 825 00:46:26,160 --> 00:46:29,160 Speaker 2: Look, probably, and maybe he's got a new single coming 826 00:46:29,200 --> 00:46:31,320 Speaker 2: out and he's trying to just test the waters before 827 00:46:31,360 --> 00:46:32,120 Speaker 2: he goes the launches. 828 00:46:32,160 --> 00:46:33,319 Speaker 4: I think that's a very good point. 829 00:46:33,760 --> 00:46:37,120 Speaker 2: Now, this is hilarious because actor Kevin Bacon he wore 830 00:46:37,239 --> 00:46:43,400 Speaker 2: prosthetic teeth, nose, and glasses to experiment with anonymity. 831 00:46:43,080 --> 00:46:44,960 Speaker 4: Trying to be like the everyday man. 832 00:46:45,200 --> 00:46:47,880 Speaker 2: But his experiment was short lived because he said, quote 833 00:46:48,239 --> 00:46:50,120 Speaker 2: I had to wait in line to buy a coffee. 834 00:46:50,160 --> 00:46:52,160 Speaker 4: I was like, this sucks. I want to go back 835 00:46:52,200 --> 00:46:54,520 Speaker 4: to being famous. G DD. 836 00:46:54,719 --> 00:46:57,440 Speaker 2: It's a hard life being a celebrity, isn't it, not 837 00:46:57,600 --> 00:46:59,760 Speaker 2: having to wait in line for coffee. 838 00:47:00,000 --> 00:47:03,239 Speaker 4: I'm looking he gave it a fair guy, spies. Well, 839 00:47:03,440 --> 00:47:04,080 Speaker 4: I think. 840 00:47:04,000 --> 00:47:06,359 Speaker 3: Actually he's at risk of coming across as a bit 841 00:47:06,440 --> 00:47:08,960 Speaker 3: of a spoiled brat and a bit of somebody who 842 00:47:09,120 --> 00:47:11,600 Speaker 3: none of us want to be six degrees from as 843 00:47:11,680 --> 00:47:15,640 Speaker 3: we all are. I'd like to think that Kevin Bacon 844 00:47:15,719 --> 00:47:17,520 Speaker 3: did this just as a joke or for a bit 845 00:47:17,560 --> 00:47:20,800 Speaker 3: of fun, because if you'd take it seriously, it actually 846 00:47:21,600 --> 00:47:24,600 Speaker 3: it's just I mean, I can't stand that expression white privilege. 847 00:47:24,640 --> 00:47:26,200 Speaker 4: But it's a bit privilege, isn't it. 848 00:47:26,560 --> 00:47:29,120 Speaker 3: And all the influences are probably fainting and clutching at 849 00:47:29,120 --> 00:47:31,440 Speaker 3: their pearls because they're all dying to be famous, and 850 00:47:31,560 --> 00:47:33,520 Speaker 3: here's Kevin Bacon, who is famous, who just. 851 00:47:33,640 --> 00:47:35,759 Speaker 4: Doesn't want it for that moment. I mean, everyone wants 852 00:47:35,800 --> 00:47:36,759 Speaker 4: something they haven't got. 853 00:47:37,640 --> 00:47:40,400 Speaker 3: I'm going to assume that Kevin Bacon did this for 854 00:47:40,480 --> 00:47:43,320 Speaker 3: the fun of it and not because he actually hates 855 00:47:43,600 --> 00:47:45,160 Speaker 3: his life as a celebrity. 856 00:47:46,080 --> 00:47:46,840 Speaker 4: Yeah, I agree. 857 00:47:46,840 --> 00:47:48,400 Speaker 2: I think he just wanted to see how far he 858 00:47:48,440 --> 00:47:51,120 Speaker 2: could test the waters at being anonymous one. 859 00:47:51,360 --> 00:47:53,160 Speaker 4: He gave it a day at least. Good on him 860 00:47:53,160 --> 00:47:53,560 Speaker 4: for trying. 861 00:47:54,080 --> 00:47:58,280 Speaker 2: Now, Alec Baldwin's trial for involuntary manslaughter over a fatal 862 00:47:58,360 --> 00:48:01,360 Speaker 2: shooting on the set of western movie Rust has begun. 863 00:48:01,640 --> 00:48:04,840 Speaker 2: The Hollywood A lister was pointing a gun at cinematographer 864 00:48:05,160 --> 00:48:08,600 Speaker 2: Helena Hutchins during a rehearsal in twenty twenty one when 865 00:48:08,640 --> 00:48:11,320 Speaker 2: it fired a live round, of course, killing her and 866 00:48:11,440 --> 00:48:14,840 Speaker 2: wounding the movie's director d d He could actually face 867 00:48:15,160 --> 00:48:17,680 Speaker 2: jail time if he's found guilty by the jury. 868 00:48:18,880 --> 00:48:19,520 Speaker 4: Yeah, he could. 869 00:48:19,640 --> 00:48:21,640 Speaker 3: And I think this trial is going to be a 870 00:48:21,680 --> 00:48:24,920 Speaker 3: lot less Hollywood juicy than people are actually expecting. I 871 00:48:24,960 --> 00:48:27,840 Speaker 3: think it's going to be quite dry and technical because 872 00:48:27,840 --> 00:48:31,160 Speaker 3: a lot of the evidence is going to the discussion 873 00:48:31,239 --> 00:48:33,400 Speaker 3: I think in the case is going to revolve around 874 00:48:33,480 --> 00:48:36,239 Speaker 3: the gun that was used, because Alec Baldwin insists that 875 00:48:36,360 --> 00:48:38,880 Speaker 3: he didn't fire the gun, he didn't pull the trigger 876 00:48:38,920 --> 00:48:42,400 Speaker 3: at bigger pardon that he only cocked the gun, and 877 00:48:42,719 --> 00:48:45,640 Speaker 3: his defense teams say that the gun had been modified 878 00:48:45,760 --> 00:48:49,080 Speaker 3: somehow filed down. The FBI tested it and they said no, 879 00:48:49,200 --> 00:48:52,880 Speaker 3: it fired absolutely normally. But in the FBI doing their testing, 880 00:48:53,000 --> 00:48:56,560 Speaker 3: they destroyed the gun. Therefore, there is no evidence to 881 00:48:56,680 --> 00:48:59,320 Speaker 3: prove whether or not this gun. There are some photographs, 882 00:48:59,320 --> 00:49:01,480 Speaker 3: I believe, but there is no actual gun to look 883 00:49:01,520 --> 00:49:05,360 Speaker 3: at to determine whether he did actually fire it or 884 00:49:05,440 --> 00:49:06,360 Speaker 3: with he did just. 885 00:49:06,480 --> 00:49:07,560 Speaker 4: Pull the trigger back. 886 00:49:08,120 --> 00:49:10,279 Speaker 3: So I think it will be very technical, and I 887 00:49:10,360 --> 00:49:12,239 Speaker 3: think that it is a question that's going to be 888 00:49:12,320 --> 00:49:13,320 Speaker 3: very difficult to answer. 889 00:49:13,480 --> 00:49:15,799 Speaker 4: I suspect that he may end. 890 00:49:15,840 --> 00:49:19,640 Speaker 3: Up being cleared of these charges, and I think the 891 00:49:19,760 --> 00:49:21,160 Speaker 3: only thing that we can be sure of is that 892 00:49:21,280 --> 00:49:24,000 Speaker 3: he should be treated like any other person. He shouldn't 893 00:49:24,000 --> 00:49:26,680 Speaker 3: be given any special privilege in this particular case because 894 00:49:26,680 --> 00:49:27,440 Speaker 3: he's a celebrity. 895 00:49:27,760 --> 00:49:29,719 Speaker 2: No, I completely agree with you. It'll be interesting to 896 00:49:29,760 --> 00:49:32,000 Speaker 2: see what the jury finds. Deed it don Lee be 897 00:49:32,080 --> 00:49:34,320 Speaker 2: good to speak with you. Thanks for joining us, pleasure, 898 00:49:34,400 --> 00:49:35,000 Speaker 2: thanks for having me. 899 00:49:35,520 --> 00:49:38,239 Speaker 4: That's it from me. Up next is Newsnight. Good Night,
