Coming 3 00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:16,239 Speaker 2: up tonight, the Albanizer government attempts to rain in the 4 00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:20,480 Speaker 2: massive NDIS cost blowout. Nick Kata and Louis Roberts will 5 00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:23,800 Speaker 2: join me to discuss that and much more. The brilliant 6 00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:26,880 Speaker 2: Douglas Murray will join us before the first ad break. 7 00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:29,720 Speaker 2: It don't want to miss that. John Heindereker will have 8 00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:33,400 Speaker 2: the latest from the US, including a deepening crisis for 9 00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:37,440 Speaker 2: the Democrats, and later in the hour, Kinsey Schofield will 10 00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:40,960 Speaker 2: tell us why a Manhattan judge has rejected the Trump 11 00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:45,640 Speaker 2: administration's bid to unseal the Jeffrey Epstein grand jury testimony 12 00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:50,120 Speaker 2: and left he is losing. It features this dangerously dim 13 00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:54,520 Speaker 2: witted actor. You may recognize him. 14 00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:57,520 Speaker 3: The guys a monster. It's beyond rang It's almost like 15 00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:00,680 Speaker 3: he wants to do the most horrible things that he 16 00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:01,360 Speaker 3: can think of. 17 00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:05,520 Speaker 2: But first, the Albanizer government has unveiled its plan to 18 00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:09,960 Speaker 2: bring NDIS spending under control, reducing the schemes year on year, 19 00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:13,080 Speaker 2: increasing costs from ten to twenty percent to four to 20 00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:16,960 Speaker 2: six percent by twenty twenty seven by no longer accepting 21 00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:21,920 Speaker 2: kids with mild and moderate autism, despite promises there would 22 00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:26,320 Speaker 2: be no change to NDIS eligibility. Joining me now for 23 00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:29,680 Speaker 2: more on this is mensi's Research Center. Senior fellow Nikata 24 00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:33,720 Speaker 2: and Sky News contributor Louise roberts Nick. This is a 25 00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:37,280 Speaker 2: broken promise, you could say, by labor, but one that 26 00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:38,320 Speaker 2: is necessary. 27 00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:40,840 Speaker 4: Yeah. 28 00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:43,959 Speaker 1: There are good broken promises and bad broken promises. 29 00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:43,840 Speaker 5: Aren't they. 30 00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:47,360 Speaker 1: This sounds like it's a broken promise in the right direction. 31 00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:50,360 Speaker 1: I do kind of worry though, that they're going to 32 00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:53,600 Speaker 1: get rid of this from the NDIS and then just 33 00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:57,320 Speaker 1: create another welfare scheme. So you know that size of 34 00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:00,240 Speaker 1: the welfare check and the whole culture that go with 35 00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:04,400 Speaker 1: it contributes. I'll tell you what I found so really 36 00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:08,080 Speaker 1: discouraging about that report regionally, about the number of kids 37 00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:10,799 Speaker 1: that are on this sort of being diagnosed as autism. 38 00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:14,840 Speaker 1: I just really don't think we should be diagnosing kids 39 00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:17,920 Speaker 1: too young. If we can help it. It's better that 40 00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:19,880 Speaker 1: we give all the help we can get for whatever 41 00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:23,080 Speaker 1: their issues. But you don't want to kind of pathologize 42 00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:26,360 Speaker 1: a kid in the way that they'll permanently think, oh, 43 00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:29,280 Speaker 1: I've got this terrible burden on me. You want them 44 00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:32,639 Speaker 1: to be able to overcome it. And with something like autism, 45 00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:35,920 Speaker 1: in most cases there are many ways you can overcome it. 46 00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:38,239 Speaker 1: And I think what we should be encouraging. 47 00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:44,840 Speaker 2: People Louisa reducing the scheme's growth to four to six 48 00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:50,280 Speaker 2: percent per annum is still unsustainable, I would argue, because 49 00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:54,120 Speaker 2: this has blown out so dramatically in a short number 50 00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:58,079 Speaker 2: of years. And the number of children in particular who 51 00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:01,680 Speaker 2: are covered in this scheme. You've got one in every 52 00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:06,160 Speaker 2: six boys in grade two in the NDIS. I mean 53 00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:07,519 Speaker 2: that just seems incredible. 54 00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:08,880 Speaker 6: It does. 55 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:12,520 Speaker 7: And this new Thriving Kids scheme they're proposing to sort of, 56 00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:15,800 Speaker 7: you know, stop the gap of children falling through if 57 00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:17,680 Speaker 7: they're not covered by the NDIS is going to cost 58 00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:19,760 Speaker 7: a lot of money as well. And I do feel 59 00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:22,520 Speaker 7: that a diagnosis should be on reality, not based on 60 00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:26,120 Speaker 7: a funding model. And unfortunately the NDIS brand, I feel 61 00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:29,000 Speaker 7: it is broken because you don't think of it as 62 00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:32,200 Speaker 7: something to help the most needy and vulnerable people in society. 63 00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:35,600 Speaker 7: You immedate, your mind goes to roots, and people rip 64 00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:38,880 Speaker 7: you off a system, and you know, as a system 65 00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:41,680 Speaker 7: per se, it does need a major overhaul. But if 66 00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:45,480 Speaker 7: thriving kids works, then great, But I think it may, 67 00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:47,840 Speaker 7: as Nick says, usher in a lot more problems. 68 00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:51,200 Speaker 2: Now, let's move along to this piece in the Age 69 00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:55,119 Speaker 2: today that notes more than a quarter of Australian households 70 00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:59,680 Speaker 2: only contain one person, but only six percent of homes 71 00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:04,320 Speaker 2: are one bedroom apartments or studios. And of course then 72 00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:06,520 Speaker 2: they go on to quote an expert who has this 73 00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:10,800 Speaker 2: to say. It's perfectly acceptable and desirable for people to 74 00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:14,440 Speaker 2: have spare bedrooms. But you could ask them to pay 75 00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:18,400 Speaker 2: for it through a land tax, or you could incentivize 76 00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:21,960 Speaker 2: them to move on through the abolition of stamp duty, 77 00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:25,320 Speaker 2: or some combination of both. Nick, is this the solution 78 00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:30,840 Speaker 2: to the housing crisis? Taxing spare bedrooms. 79 00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:34,159 Speaker 1: Is up to every individual what they do with their house, 80 00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:37,599 Speaker 1: right if you don't want an sometimes I feel like 81 00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:39,760 Speaker 1: not having anybody else in the house, and that's fine, 82 00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:41,279 Speaker 1: en up, I don't want to be fine for that. 83 00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:46,760 Speaker 1: But again, you know this sort of spare bedroom tax idea, 84 00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:49,440 Speaker 1: you know, it's just another way for the government to 85 00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:51,800 Speaker 1: get money out of us. I have some sympathy with 86 00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:55,080 Speaker 1: the idea that we should lower stamp duty, sure, because 87 00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:58,039 Speaker 1: that's a big obstacle for a lot of people to 88 00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:00,720 Speaker 1: downsize or to hand the property over to the kids 89 00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:03,120 Speaker 1: or whatever. I mean. Stab duty is way too high 90 00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:06,480 Speaker 1: and it stops all sorts of transactions which would otherwise 91 00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:09,120 Speaker 1: go ahead and smooth and make their property market more 92 00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:12,800 Speaker 1: efficient and houses more cheap. But you know, the idea 93 00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:16,400 Speaker 1: that this is a problem that you're somehow sinning against 94 00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:20,120 Speaker 1: humanity if you just leave an empty bedroom. Yeah, no, 95 00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:23,680 Speaker 1: it's just it's just too much of the nanny state. 96 00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:28,799 Speaker 2: Once again, Yeah, it's nanny's state, Luise. And it's also 97 00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:32,800 Speaker 2: just trying to guilt homeowners that if you're one or 98 00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:36,520 Speaker 2: two person household, you don't deserve to live in a 99 00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:37,640 Speaker 2: three bedroom dwelling. 100 00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:42,440 Speaker 7: This is such a ridiculous idea. And again, the housing 101 00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:45,520 Speaker 7: crisis is not caused by homeowners. People who own these homes, 102 00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:48,120 Speaker 7: as you say, Rita, you know, who work very hard 103 00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:49,640 Speaker 7: all their lives and they've got Now I've got a 104 00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:52,080 Speaker 7: home that they own and it's spacious. Maybe their kids 105 00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:53,760 Speaker 7: have moved out, but that's not a crime. That's what 106 00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:56,120 Speaker 7: happens in life. And it's not down to them to 107 00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:58,320 Speaker 7: fix the housing crisis. It's on the government who are 108 00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:01,240 Speaker 7: way behind on their housing target anyway, so to go 109 00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:05,640 Speaker 7: after homeowners will be a very unpopular mood. And also 110 00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:08,440 Speaker 7: to Nick's point, don't we pay enough taxes anyway? I 111 00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:09,720 Speaker 7: mean why another one on top of. 112 00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:14,120 Speaker 2: That, South Australian Premier Peter Malanascus has endorsed the end 113 00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:17,279 Speaker 2: of woke, well sort of. He said, I think people 114 00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:21,479 Speaker 2: are just becoming increasingly disinterested in the noise of being 115 00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:24,640 Speaker 2: woke or anti woke, and they just want to know 116 00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:29,080 Speaker 2: who in political leadership is occupying the common sense. Nick, 117 00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:32,920 Speaker 2: that's a pretty disingenuous position to take. It's all well 118 00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:35,039 Speaker 2: and good to say, you know, we're sick of woke 119 00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:39,680 Speaker 2: or anti woke when his government is very woke enforcing 120 00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:44,000 Speaker 2: a state based treaty on the population that clearly doesn't 121 00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:47,719 Speaker 2: want it. Two and three South Australians voted no to 122 00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:50,160 Speaker 2: the voice. 123 00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:52,359 Speaker 1: Yeah, and I take it he hasn't spoken out against 124 00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:56,120 Speaker 1: the AFL's ridiculous over the top ban on this poor 125 00:06:56,160 --> 00:07:00,320 Speaker 1: player either, But yeah, I think let's be generous. I 126 00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:03,560 Speaker 1: think what it does is it is another encouraging sign 127 00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:09,200 Speaker 1: that we are in certainly past peak woke anyway, because 128 00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:13,000 Speaker 1: if a labor premier, even one is reasonably moderate and 129 00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:17,040 Speaker 1: sometimes vaguely sensible, like Peter melanowskis if he's coming out 130 00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:19,760 Speaker 1: now and speaking out against it, and I think it 131 00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:22,880 Speaker 1: shows that the tider's turned. Certainly, the word woke now 132 00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:27,480 Speaker 1: is absolutely deadly or left. They hate just using it 133 00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:30,480 Speaker 1: because it's been so effective. You know, they managed to 134 00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:33,600 Speaker 1: find words to demonize us, and pick up words like 135 00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:35,760 Speaker 1: coal and turn them into something you're not leaving it 136 00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:39,040 Speaker 1: loud to think about. Now, this is an occasion when 137 00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:42,360 Speaker 1: we've done it back to them. 138 00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:46,160 Speaker 2: Well, it happens always with the words the left users 139 00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:49,560 Speaker 2: to describe itself. They pick the word and very quickly 140 00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:55,480 Speaker 2: that word becomes unfashionable and a slur almost. There's been 141 00:07:55,520 --> 00:08:00,320 Speaker 2: so many social justice activists woke, progressive, they're all mean 142 00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:05,160 Speaker 2: something other than what was initially intended. Now. Peter Malanascus 143 00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:09,400 Speaker 2: also said this about young men becoming increasingly right wing 144 00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:13,120 Speaker 2: and all the damaging messaging around toxic masculinity is that 145 00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:16,920 Speaker 2: if we seem to be culturally disconnected from them, young 146 00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:19,760 Speaker 2: men and boys, then they won't listen to us on 147 00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:23,920 Speaker 2: anything else because we wouldn't represent what they're interested in. 148 00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:28,080 Speaker 2: I don't know why we would consciously allow that to happen, Louise, 149 00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:31,520 Speaker 2: They're left. In Australia, the smarter ones like the South 150 00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:36,000 Speaker 2: Australian Premiere are recognizing the data that is showing young 151 00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:40,160 Speaker 2: men are increasingly becoming right wing in a number of 152 00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:41,080 Speaker 2: western countries. 153 00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:44,800 Speaker 7: Well that's because certainly men and young men in Australia 154 00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:48,199 Speaker 7: feel abandoned. They feel that they're you know, because they're male. 155 00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:51,520 Speaker 7: That's a crime. And I think the South Australian Premium 156 00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:53,600 Speaker 7: makes a great point that we have to separate the 157 00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:57,000 Speaker 7: words toxic and masculinity and it will be catastrophic going 158 00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:59,640 Speaker 7: forward for labor if they don't, you know, step into 159 00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:02,599 Speaker 7: support the young men in this country who've been demonized 160 00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:05,199 Speaker 7: four years. I've written about this at length because I 161 00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:09,320 Speaker 7: feel ready passionately about the subjugation of young men and 162 00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:11,840 Speaker 7: how they made you feel that they're sort of sexual 163 00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:14,839 Speaker 7: predators and training and everything's wrong about what they do 164 00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:17,120 Speaker 7: and their total outlook on life. So I was actually 165 00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:20,520 Speaker 7: very relieved to see him step up and make these comments. 166 00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:20,920 Speaker 6: The sort of woke stuff. 167 00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:23,439 Speaker 7: Aside, I'm not sure why he went there, but certainly 168 00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:25,280 Speaker 7: to go in and bat for young men in Australia. 169 00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:26,600 Speaker 7: I thought was absolutely terrific. 170 00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:31,160 Speaker 2: Nick Kta, Louis Roberts, thank you so much for your 171 00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:35,920 Speaker 2: time tonight.

Douglas. Let's start 175 00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:50,400 Speaker 2: in DC, where Donald Trump is tackling crime, to the 176 00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:53,960 Speaker 2: dismay of Democrats and the media. But look at these 177 00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:58,520 Speaker 2: crime statistics released by the DC Police Union showing a 178 00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:02,800 Speaker 2: dramatic drop in crime since the announcement of federal control 179 00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:06,320 Speaker 2: compared to the seven days prior. We're saying robbery is 180 00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:10,960 Speaker 2: down forty six percent, carjackings down eighty three percent, violent 181 00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:15,319 Speaker 2: crime down twenty two percent. Who can possibly be against 182 00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:19,920 Speaker 2: that other than criminals. 183 00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:26,000 Speaker 5: Well, the Democrats and other Trump critics, as feverish critics, 184 00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:29,800 Speaker 5: have all been against this from the very beginning. It's 185 00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:34,040 Speaker 5: extraordinary Trump has the President. Trump has a very straightforward thing, 186 00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:37,439 Speaker 5: which is that DC, you know, should not be allowed 187 00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:39,800 Speaker 5: to fall any more than any other American city, but 188 00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:42,800 Speaker 5: also it should be looked after a little bit more 189 00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:44,240 Speaker 5: than other American cities. 190 00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:45,880 Speaker 8: Because it's the nation's. 191 00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:52,559 Speaker 5: Capital, because it's the place where people arrive in statesman, politicians, businessmen, 192 00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:58,359 Speaker 5: and tourists. And if Washington, DC is covered in homeless 193 00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:03,120 Speaker 5: encampments and is rife with crime, then that's the sort 194 00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:05,600 Speaker 5: of thing that makes people believe that this is a 195 00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:09,200 Speaker 5: little symptom or big symptom of a much wider problem 196 00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:09,800 Speaker 5: in the nation. 197 00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:12,959 Speaker 8: And that's the main reason. 198 00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:17,200 Speaker 5: Why Trump has decided to have this crackdown. As you've 199 00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:21,720 Speaker 5: just shown there, it's clearly already working. And I just 200 00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:26,880 Speaker 5: wish that, first of all, the critics of Trump would occasionally, 201 00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:31,280 Speaker 5: if he does something that provably works, would give him 202 00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:34,920 Speaker 5: some grace for it. And secondly that all of those 203 00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:41,520 Speaker 5: extraordinarily preachy international figures who believe that he can never 204 00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:44,560 Speaker 5: do anything right, wonder whether or not they would benefit 205 00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:48,280 Speaker 5: from the same policies. For instance, I'd have thought that London, 206 00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:50,439 Speaker 5: where I am at the moment, would certainly be out 207 00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:54,040 Speaker 5: of benefit from, for instance, the police taking an interest in. 208 00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:57,040 Speaker 8: Crime, But no, they don't want to do that. 209 00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:00,240 Speaker 5: And you just have to think of all, just think 210 00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:04,120 Speaker 5: of all of the tourists to a city who will 211 00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:07,560 Speaker 5: be put off the city and the country for very 212 00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:12,520 Speaker 5: considerable time if they experience or witness acts of criminality 213 00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:14,679 Speaker 5: of the kind that Trump is trying to. 214 00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:15,280 Speaker 8: Crack down on. 215 00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:21,760 Speaker 2: Indeed, now you've written in the New York Post about 216 00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:25,520 Speaker 2: the recent peace talks, the Alaska summit between President Trump 217 00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:29,000 Speaker 2: and Vladimir Putin, and you argue Peuterin is still up 218 00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:32,960 Speaker 2: to his old tricks, and Trump knows it. What do 219 00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:33,760 Speaker 2: you mean by that? 220 00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:39,720 Speaker 8: Well, the first meeting, the summit meeting. 221 00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:43,360 Speaker 5: In Alaska between Trump and puter was very, very interesting. 222 00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:46,640 Speaker 5: The fact that it happened at all was the first 223 00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:51,040 Speaker 5: point of interest, and the second was that the meeting 224 00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:53,240 Speaker 5: went on for some two and a half hours, and 225 00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:56,040 Speaker 5: thirdly that the two leaders did come out and do 226 00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:59,080 Speaker 5: a joint press conference after US President Trump had said 227 00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:02,400 Speaker 5: that if there was absolutely no deal, he would walk away, 228 00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:05,640 Speaker 5: or some viewers will remember, it's something that Trump is 229 00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:08,240 Speaker 5: perfectly capable of doing, even at the most high stakes 230 00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:12,560 Speaker 5: of meetings. In about twenty nineteen, twenty eighteen, twenty nineteen, 231 00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:16,000 Speaker 5: he had the famous summit meeting after the Singapore Summit 232 00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:20,120 Speaker 5: in Hanoi with Kim Yong Own. There was a huge 233 00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:22,120 Speaker 5: fan for a huge build up as they had been 234 00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:25,839 Speaker 5: before Alaska, and Trump realized there's absolutely nothing going Kim 235 00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:28,400 Speaker 5: Yong owned wasn't going to budge, and he just walked 236 00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:31,760 Speaker 5: out of the meeting. Trump just left and no press conference, 237 00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:36,720 Speaker 5: no Razmat, has no anything, just off. So the fact 238 00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:41,600 Speaker 5: that it went ahead and that afterwards the leaders appeared 239 00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:44,160 Speaker 5: together is at least a sign that there is something 240 00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:50,400 Speaker 5: to negotiate, There is something something on the table. Putin 241 00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:54,680 Speaker 5: and Trump said there or Trump particularly said that there's 242 00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:57,920 Speaker 5: one major issue which they haven't been able to agree on, 243 00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:01,000 Speaker 5: and it's the main stumbling block. The presumption is that 244 00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:03,400 Speaker 5: that's about whether or not that the Russians should be 245 00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:07,640 Speaker 5: allowed to continue to hold territory they've already stolen from 246 00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:11,959 Speaker 5: the Ukrainians, and that's that's that's a major issue and 247 00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:15,160 Speaker 5: a major problem that's going to be addressed. But at least, 248 00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:19,000 Speaker 5: at least the whole the whole thing showed that, first 249 00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:23,680 Speaker 5: of all, it could happen. Secondly that I think, again 250 00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:26,600 Speaker 5: a lot of Trump critics are giving him credit for this. 251 00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:30,040 Speaker 8: He by no means sort of fell into Putin's arms, 252 00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:31,640 Speaker 8: as as as. 253 00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:33,560 Speaker 5: A lot of people would like to pretend he was 254 00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:36,520 Speaker 5: extremely cautious in the joint press conference. 255 00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:38,360 Speaker 8: He was polite, but he. 256 00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:42,120 Speaker 5: Was by no means sort of nodding along and smiling 257 00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:45,360 Speaker 5: along to Putin. He was very careful, and I think 258 00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:48,800 Speaker 5: that's because he knows, as of course he would that 259 00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:54,160 Speaker 5: that that Putin is an exceptionally slippery character to be 260 00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:57,960 Speaker 5: negotiating with. And Trump has of course been bitten before 261 00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:01,920 Speaker 5: from Putin promising thing and then doing quite the opposite. 262 00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:05,280 Speaker 8: So we'll see. But it's at least the start. 263 00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:10,880 Speaker 2: It is. And since the Alaska summit, we've seen the 264 00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:15,000 Speaker 2: European leaders travel to the White House for further discussions, 265 00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:18,720 Speaker 2: and now Douglas, President Old Trump is saying, here has 266 00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:22,440 Speaker 2: begun arrangements for a face to face meeting between Putin 267 00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:27,160 Speaker 2: and Zelenski to discuss and enter this war. Douglas, that 268 00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:30,800 Speaker 2: would have been thought unthinkable not too long ago. It 269 00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:34,600 Speaker 2: would be astonishing if that were to take place. And 270 00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:37,920 Speaker 2: do you see that sort of meeting being possible? 271 00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:42,920 Speaker 5: It certainly is possible, and if Trump wants to make 272 00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:48,720 Speaker 5: it happen, I suspect it will happen. It's been extremely 273 00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:53,920 Speaker 5: thought meeting because not only is there a dispute about 274 00:15:53,960 --> 00:16:00,400 Speaker 5: the future about land swaps, prisoner exchanges, and much more. 275 00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:04,320 Speaker 5: There's also, of course, this fundamental thing which has kept 276 00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:07,440 Speaker 5: coming across, which came across from Putin, Alaska, which is 277 00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:10,360 Speaker 5: what were the causes of the conflict. 278 00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:12,800 Speaker 8: Now Putin has a sort. 279 00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:18,400 Speaker 5: Of a fantastical version of this, of course, where his 280 00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:21,200 Speaker 5: troops rolled into Ukraine to try to take the whole thing, 281 00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:28,120 Speaker 5: to seize it from Nazis. I mean, it's you know, Zelenski, 282 00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:31,640 Speaker 5: of course, is in this position of representing a country 283 00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:37,720 Speaker 5: that has been brutalized by Putin's aggression, totally unwarranted aggression 284 00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:41,080 Speaker 5: by Putin, and I suspect that's going to be one 285 00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:44,600 Speaker 5: of the very difficult things, especially I think for Zelensky 286 00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:48,280 Speaker 5: during any such meeting, is that Putin just has a 287 00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:52,520 Speaker 5: completely counterhistorical, counterfactual version of this. 288 00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:55,520 Speaker 8: What he talked about even Alaska as if the war. 289 00:16:55,560 --> 00:17:00,800 Speaker 5: He acknowledged the tragedy of the war, talked about it 290 00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:02,840 Speaker 5: as if it was a natural disaster. 291 00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:05,600 Speaker 8: You have to just sort of clear up afterwards. But 292 00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:07,080 Speaker 8: he is the disaster. 293 00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:12,080 Speaker 5: A Putin was the hurricane that tried to invade and 294 00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:13,520 Speaker 5: overrun his neighbors. 295 00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:16,080 Speaker 8: So there will be a lot of problems at. 296 00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:19,199 Speaker 5: Any face to face meeting, even before you get on 297 00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:22,199 Speaker 5: to the issue of how you actually get to a 298 00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:25,320 Speaker 5: cease fire and some kind of permanent agreement. 299 00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:32,120 Speaker 2: Now to a story by Christopher Rufo, who does fantastic 300 00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:36,639 Speaker 2: work in exposing the worst of academia, he reports Harvard 301 00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:41,120 Speaker 2: University's Center for Middle Eastern Studies is co sponsoring an 302 00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:45,680 Speaker 2: event featuring Sammy Alarian. This is a man Douglas, who 303 00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:49,000 Speaker 2: has pled guilty to in the past to providing assistance 304 00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:55,879 Speaker 2: to a US designated terror organization that specializes in suicide bombings. 305 00:17:56,720 --> 00:18:01,160 Speaker 2: What is Harvard thinking costpond through an event like this. 306 00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:05,840 Speaker 8: It's so crazy. I mean, Alarian is somebody who's been 307 00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:07,240 Speaker 8: on the radar a lot of us for a very 308 00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:07,800 Speaker 8: long time. 309 00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:11,760 Speaker 5: Why any student in America should need to get a 310 00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:17,919 Speaker 5: suicide bombing instruction or terrorism encouragement from such a figure, 311 00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:19,080 Speaker 5: I just don't know. 312 00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:22,960 Speaker 8: And it's utter lunency of Harvard at this stage. 313 00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:26,840 Speaker 5: And it's involved perhaps the most prominent university in America 314 00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:30,480 Speaker 5: to be involved in a struggle with the Trump administration over. 315 00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:32,240 Speaker 8: Precisely these sorts of issues. 316 00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:36,280 Speaker 5: It's just madness for Harvard to post something as provocative. 317 00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:38,960 Speaker 5: But you go back to that root question you and 318 00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:41,520 Speaker 5: I have talked about before, Eato, which is what do 319 00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:47,080 Speaker 5: these institutions think? Therefore, what does Harvard University actually think 320 00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:50,000 Speaker 5: it's for? What do these universities think the purpose of 321 00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:53,760 Speaker 5: university education is? Is it that the student should get 322 00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:58,919 Speaker 5: heavily into debt and have their studies subsidized by the 323 00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:03,159 Speaker 5: American tax to learn how to do terrorism and to 324 00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:07,840 Speaker 5: learn justifications for terrorism and reasons for terrorism from terrorists. 325 00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:13,080 Speaker 5: Or is it to actually learn something practical and develop practical, 326 00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:17,600 Speaker 5: usable skills that are going to further not only the 327 00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:22,040 Speaker 5: career of the student in question, but advance the interests 328 00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:25,960 Speaker 5: and the capabilities and the innovation of the country that's 329 00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:26,920 Speaker 5: educating them. 330 00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:28,639 Speaker 8: Like, what is the point here? 331 00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:30,560 Speaker 5: And it seems to me is it has to a 332 00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:34,479 Speaker 5: lot of Americans in recent years that the places like 333 00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:36,760 Speaker 5: Harvard have just completely lost. 334 00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:38,880 Speaker 8: The plot of what they are actually there to do. 335 00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:44,200 Speaker 5: And nothing can exemplify that more than something as preposterous 336 00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:48,800 Speaker 5: as this. They will, of course at Harvard cry free 337 00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:50,320 Speaker 5: each You just. 338 00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:53,680 Speaker 8: Have to say, you know, free speech is absolutely vital. 339 00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:56,080 Speaker 5: I spent much of my life defending it, and it 340 00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:58,240 Speaker 5: is a core bedrock principle. 341 00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:00,080 Speaker 8: But even without. 342 00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:02,520 Speaker 5: Their being an illegality. You have to say, what do 343 00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:06,560 Speaker 5: you want to use the speech for? And you just 344 00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:09,240 Speaker 5: can watch. It's not a criminal matter, it's not a 345 00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:12,159 Speaker 5: civing matter. It's just a matter of watching. And if somebody, 346 00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:14,440 Speaker 5: if an institution says we don't want you to crack 347 00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:18,560 Speaker 5: down on our free speech, mister Trump, etc. You go, okay, 348 00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:21,240 Speaker 5: and what are you using speech for? Oh, you're using 349 00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:25,920 Speaker 5: it to bring terrorists onto campus to educate the next generation. 350 00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:29,640 Speaker 8: That is an odd thing to do with. 351 00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:35,880 Speaker 5: Such a fundamental right, to put it at its latest, it. 352 00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:37,960 Speaker 2: Is an odd thing to do. And if you're going 353 00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:41,080 Speaker 2: to claim a free speech then you better be consistent 354 00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:45,600 Speaker 2: about it. And Harvard and other universities have not been. 355 00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:49,679 Speaker 2: You can't hardly get a mainstream conservative on campus without 356 00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:54,160 Speaker 2: all sorts of uproar from the staff as well as 357 00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:57,040 Speaker 2: the students. So yeah, the free speech argument rings a 358 00:20:57,040 --> 00:20:58,960 Speaker 2: little bit hollow when it comes from the likes of 359 00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:02,240 Speaker 2: Harvard Douglas. I want to ask you about what's happening 360 00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:05,520 Speaker 2: in the UK with the Tories. They should be flying 361 00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:08,440 Speaker 2: in the polls. We've got the Keir Starma government. They're inept, 362 00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:13,360 Speaker 2: Labor is flailing, but The Tories are also struggling their 363 00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:17,600 Speaker 2: trailing reform, and their leader is on the BBC talking 364 00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:19,959 Speaker 2: about getting kids expelled at school. 365 00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:24,080 Speaker 9: I was the person who would say, that person is 366 00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:26,879 Speaker 9: copying notes from the other person. I was the taple 367 00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:29,320 Speaker 9: tale in the class, like telling you getting people into 368 00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:31,919 Speaker 9: trouble because I hear even then I hate to cheating 369 00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:33,720 Speaker 9: because there I was, you know, I wanted to be 370 00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:35,680 Speaker 9: first in the class, and I've done all the work 371 00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:37,639 Speaker 9: and then there's some people who are copying notes, and 372 00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:39,240 Speaker 9: so why should they get away with it? They stood 373 00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:40,679 Speaker 9: up in the believe the exam, and I stood up 374 00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:42,919 Speaker 9: and said he's cheating. He's the one that's doing it. 375 00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:46,160 Speaker 9: And that boy ended up getting expelled and I didn't 376 00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:47,240 Speaker 9: get praised for it. 377 00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:53,800 Speaker 2: Now, I've been an admirer of Kemie Badanock, but who 378 00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:58,639 Speaker 2: is advising her? This story isn't endearing. I mean, why 379 00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:04,159 Speaker 2: she spending any sort of valuable airtime she has coming 380 00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:08,080 Speaker 2: across on some some dibber dobba. 381 00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:11,720 Speaker 5: Yes, I didn't think that was the wisest story to tell, because, 382 00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:17,760 Speaker 5: as you say, Rita, it's not an enormously sort of human. 383 00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:20,760 Speaker 8: Ising story to her. 384 00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:25,560 Speaker 5: I think the reason why kemmy badnock told that would 385 00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:29,000 Speaker 5: have been because she does have and she has talked 386 00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:32,240 Speaker 5: about this basic sense of fairness that she's right to 387 00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:38,040 Speaker 5: recognize exists in the British people. And I think she's 388 00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:41,119 Speaker 5: actually right in a way, and it's an unfortunate part 389 00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:44,200 Speaker 5: of that interview that but I think actually she's right 390 00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:45,080 Speaker 5: to talk. 391 00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:47,480 Speaker 8: To this issue of fairness because a lot of. 392 00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:50,240 Speaker 5: The things that the left have been saying in recent 393 00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:54,960 Speaker 5: years about a whole range of policies, whether it's a 394 00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:58,440 Speaker 5: minority rights issues, whether it's a legal migration issues or 395 00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:04,160 Speaker 5: legal migwaginess issues, they talk about it in terms of rights. 396 00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:08,119 Speaker 5: It's always got to be about we have to do 397 00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:11,560 Speaker 5: this because our obligations are under various rights laws, or 398 00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:14,680 Speaker 5: we can't take this person out of the country who 399 00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:20,359 Speaker 5: abuse our country because of his rights, always his rights usually, 400 00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:23,160 Speaker 5: But there is another way of looking at that, which 401 00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:26,200 Speaker 5: is actually a more conservative way, which told say, you know, 402 00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:30,560 Speaker 5: we don't need legislation, let alone foreign legislation, to make 403 00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:33,080 Speaker 5: these decisions about the future for our country. What the 404 00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:36,199 Speaker 5: British people seek, I think, like the Australian people and 405 00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:40,080 Speaker 5: the people of American they seek fairness in the system. 406 00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:45,119 Speaker 5: They want the system to be fair, for instance, that 407 00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:48,520 Speaker 5: people who have paid into the system are given priority 408 00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:51,600 Speaker 5: over people who have never paid in when it comes 409 00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:54,960 Speaker 5: to taking out from the system. So yes, I agree 410 00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:59,240 Speaker 5: with you, Hereta. It's not the most endearing story. I 411 00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:01,600 Speaker 5: don't know who good I said to tell it, if 412 00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:02,720 Speaker 5: anyone indeed did. 413 00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:06,800 Speaker 8: But I do think there's a esteem. 414 00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:11,480 Speaker 5: Of conservative attack in there somewhere which is worth picking 415 00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:14,720 Speaker 5: up because if you look at whether it's street protests 416 00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:17,960 Speaker 5: against the illegal migration or a growing sense that you 417 00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:21,160 Speaker 5: know of the number of people are not sharing tax burden, 418 00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:24,520 Speaker 5: it does come down to that thing of fairness and. 419 00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:28,840 Speaker 8: Cheating the people who do cheat and cheat the system. 420 00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:31,720 Speaker 8: So yes, there is something in it. 421 00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:36,520 Speaker 2: Douglas Murray, thank you so much for your time tonight. 422 00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:39,719 Speaker 8: That's a pleasure as always. 423 00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:43,800 Speaker 2: Thank you still to calm Lefty is Losing It plus 424 00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:47,639 Speaker 2: the laters from the US, including a deepening crisis for 425 00:24:47,840 --> 00:25:03,639 Speaker 2: the Democrats. John Heinereicher is up next.

Robert de Niro is again sharing his keen 430 00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:21,400 Speaker 2: political insights that nobody asked for. Remember when he said 431 00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:23,520 Speaker 2: Donald Trump would come after. 432 00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:26,240 Speaker 10: Him if he was re elected, nothing at all, nothing 433 00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:31,200 Speaker 10: redeemable in him. It can't be, it cannot be. If 434 00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:35,080 Speaker 10: he is he wins the election, you won't be on 435 00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:36,040 Speaker 10: the show anymore. 436 00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:37,320 Speaker 2: He'll come looking for me. 437 00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:44,879 Speaker 10: There'll be things that happened that none of us can imagine. 438 00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:48,320 Speaker 10: That's what happens in that kind of a dictatorship. 439 00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:52,159 Speaker 2: Well, donald Trump was re elected, it can be, Robert, 440 00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:56,080 Speaker 2: and it was, And somehow, incredibly, Robert de Niro isn't 441 00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:59,959 Speaker 2: in a prison camp, he isn't silenced in any way. Indeed, 442 00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:03,600 Speaker 2: he's on television making an absolute full of himself. Again, 443 00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:11,080 Speaker 2: let's listen to this latest deranged, delusional, diabolically dumb die tribe. 444 00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:16,480 Speaker 3: It's about right and wrong period. The guys are monsters 445 00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:19,959 Speaker 3: beyond wrong. It's almost like he wants to do the 446 00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:23,200 Speaker 3: most horrible things that he can think of in order 447 00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:25,520 Speaker 3: to get a rise out of us. I don't know 448 00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:28,560 Speaker 3: what it is, but he's been doing it and doing it, 449 00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:31,280 Speaker 3: and it's scary. 450 00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:36,399 Speaker 2: Yes, well, the horrible things Donald Trump is inflicting on America, 451 00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:42,320 Speaker 2: like bringing back manufacturing, solving the border crisis, reducing the 452 00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:47,359 Speaker 2: cost of living, not to mention doing peace stills around 453 00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:51,560 Speaker 2: the world from Armenian Azerbajan to Rwanda and the Congo 454 00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:56,000 Speaker 2: and several others just in recent months. But while Robert 455 00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:59,520 Speaker 2: de Niro rants like a demented fool, here is another 456 00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:03,840 Speaker 2: perspective did from the acting world. This is a Hollywood superstar, 457 00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:07,440 Speaker 2: Chris Pratt. See if you can detect the subtle difference 458 00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:12,040 Speaker 2: between the deranged and hero and what Chris has to say. 459 00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:14,959 Speaker 11: I'd hate to be so marred and hatred for the 460 00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:18,920 Speaker 11: president that any success from his administration is something I'd 461 00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:19,920 Speaker 11: have an allergic. 462 00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:22,359 Speaker 12: Reaction to to be like, oh, well, if they do it, 463 00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:23,320 Speaker 12: I don't want it to happen. 464 00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:26,840 Speaker 4: I'll feed my I'll put clarox in my children's cereal myself. 465 00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:30,880 Speaker 6: You know, I'd say some be reasonable here. There's certain 466 00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:32,040 Speaker 6: things that would be a good thing to have. 467 00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:33,680 Speaker 8: I want them on success. 468 00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:38,160 Speaker 2: Now, let's marvel at Charlie Kirk embarrassing Oxford students during 469 00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:41,040 Speaker 2: a debate about whether Donald Trump has gone too far. 470 00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:44,480 Speaker 2: I could play you a whole program of this sort 471 00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:47,800 Speaker 2: of content. But this next twenty five second clip sums 472 00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:48,360 Speaker 2: it all up. 473 00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:53,359 Speaker 7: Trump has deported American citizens to comps without fair trial, 474 00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:56,159 Speaker 7: but the opposition will still tell you he has not 475 00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:56,760 Speaker 7: gone too. 476 00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:58,800 Speaker 11: First, I'll give you a thousand pounds right now if 477 00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:00,240 Speaker 11: you could tell me the US is an that was 478 00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:03,520 Speaker 11: deported under Donald Trump. Yeah, the US citizen that was 479 00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:05,560 Speaker 11: deported under Donald Trump.

Yeah? 481 00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:07,880 Speaker 2: Name wrong? 482 00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:10,080 Speaker 11: Not a US citizen, Citisen L. Salbert or anywhere else. 483 00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:13,080 Speaker 11: US citizen deported under Trump. Nope, that was a lie. 484 00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:13,960 Speaker 11: You should know better than that. 485 00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:14,720 Speaker 8: You got to Oxford. 486 00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:19,920 Speaker 2: Perhaps Oxford can welcome this next academic who is fleeing 487 00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:23,760 Speaker 2: America to do her science, as she calls it, in 488 00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:24,640 Speaker 2: a better country. 489 00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:32,280 Speaker 13: I'm an associate professor at the University of California Institution. 490 00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:35,480 Speaker 5: And I'm starting to talk because I'm going to lead in. 491 00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:38,960 Speaker 7: The United States with my family to start a life 492 00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:43,200 Speaker 7: and do my science study climate change and sustainable Zebo. 493 00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:47,200 Speaker 2: To DC now, and here is a master class in 494 00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:50,640 Speaker 2: how to handle lefties losing it. You point out them, 495 00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:54,880 Speaker 2: you explain why their position is absurd, and then you laugh. 496 00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:58,680 Speaker 2: Let's see Vice President jd Vance and Defense Secretary Pete 497 00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:01,000 Speaker 2: hegxet demonstrate that perfectly. 498 00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:10,480 Speaker 8: This is the guy that makes people a low order 499 00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:11,400 Speaker 8: in their own community. 500 00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:21,160 Speaker 2: Superb work. That guy thinks people don't deserve law and 501 00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:24,040 Speaker 2: order in DC. And you know who else thinks that? 502 00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:28,240 Speaker 2: It's the media? And here jd Vance treats a stupid 503 00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:31,680 Speaker 2: question from the media with the disdain it deserves. 504 00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:35,640 Speaker 14: I'm sorry. Polls show that a majority of DC residents 505 00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:36,800 Speaker 14: don't support the guard here. 506 00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:38,920 Speaker 8: So what's your message to the majority of DC residents. 507 00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:41,880 Speaker 14: I'm highly skeptical that a majority of DC residents don't 508 00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:43,920 Speaker 14: want their city to be to have. 509 00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:49,040 Speaker 8: Better public safety and more reasonable safety standards within. 510 00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:49,560 Speaker 6: Washington, DC. 511 00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:52,000 Speaker 13: I don't know what pool you're talking about, maybe the 512 00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:54,440 Speaker 13: seat of Poles except Kamala Harrison in the popular world 513 00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:55,720 Speaker 13: likes and bullies. 514 00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:58,960 Speaker 2: And White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller had 515 00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:02,720 Speaker 2: a what a advice will and I quote these stupid 516 00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:07,200 Speaker 2: white hippies who are demonstrating against the law and auto 517 00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:08,160 Speaker 2: crackdown in DC. 518 00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:11,320 Speaker 14: All these demonstrators that you've seen out here in recent days, 519 00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:14,000 Speaker 14: all of these elderly white hippies. 520 00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:15,680 Speaker 8: They're not part of the city. 521 00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:16,640 Speaker 5: Never happened. 522 00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:18,840 Speaker 14: And by the way, most of the citizens who live 523 00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:22,160 Speaker 14: in Washington, DC are black. This is not a city 524 00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:28,800 Speaker 14: that has had any safety for its black citizens for generations. 525 00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:31,640 Speaker 14: And President Trump is the one who is fixing that 526 00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:34,160 Speaker 14: with the support Land Metropolitan of the Police Department, the 527 00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:37,280 Speaker 14: support of the National part and our federal l enforcement officers. 528 00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:38,280 Speaker 8: So we're going to. 529 00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:41,200 Speaker 14: Ignore these stupid white hippies and a need to go 530 00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:44,480 Speaker 14: holm a ticket now because they're all over ninety years old, 531 00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:46,360 Speaker 14: and we're going to get back from the business of 532 00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:48,640 Speaker 14: protecting the American people and the citizens. 533 00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:49,000 Speaker 8: Of Washington News. 534 00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:51,880 Speaker 2: Joining me now is President of the Center of the 535 00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:55,880 Speaker 2: American Experiment, John Heindereicher. John, we will get to the 536 00:30:55,920 --> 00:30:59,280 Speaker 2: peace talk shortly, but let's start with the Democrats, and 537 00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:02,360 Speaker 2: they are in crisis mode, with data showing the party 538 00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:06,200 Speaker 2: is bleeding support. The New York Times reports that in 539 00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:09,840 Speaker 2: the thirty states that track voter registration by political party, 540 00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:14,440 Speaker 2: Democrats lost ground two Republicans in every single one between 541 00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:17,680 Speaker 2: twenty twenty and twenty twenty four, and in some states 542 00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:20,280 Speaker 2: by quite a lot. The four year swing towards the 543 00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:25,080 Speaker 2: Republicans adds up to four point five million voters. John, 544 00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:28,040 Speaker 2: That is grim for the Democrats, with The Times also 545 00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:32,360 Speaker 2: reporting that the party saw some of its steepest declines 546 00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:37,000 Speaker 2: in registrations among young voters, and Donald Trump has been 547 00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:39,800 Speaker 2: instrumental in that rita. 548 00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:43,320 Speaker 4: The Democrats really are panicking, in part because that report 549 00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:47,400 Speaker 4: comes from their newspaper, The New York Times. And as 550 00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:51,479 Speaker 4: you say, thirty out of thirty states, it's a nationwide trend, 551 00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:55,600 Speaker 4: and it's strongest among young people and also among minorities. 552 00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:59,480 Speaker 4: And that's a key point too, because the Democrats strategy 553 00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:04,880 Speaker 4: has then to build a permanent winning coalition that's based 554 00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:08,480 Speaker 4: primarily on minority voters. That strategy right now is not 555 00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:11,560 Speaker 4: looking good at all. And so, yeah, the Democrats really 556 00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:14,480 Speaker 4: are in a padic, John. 557 00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:18,160 Speaker 2: The New York Times analysis also shows that this trend 558 00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:22,160 Speaker 2: is not new. It's been evident for months, for years. 559 00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:26,800 Speaker 2: In fact, in twenty eighteen, Democrats accounted for thirty four 560 00:32:26,840 --> 00:32:31,760 Speaker 2: percent of new voter registrations nationwide, Republicans were only twenty percent, 561 00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:36,920 Speaker 2: But by twenty twenty four, Republicans were overtaking the Democrats 562 00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:43,680 Speaker 2: among new registrants. Can the Republicans maintain this momentum beyond 563 00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:44,520 Speaker 2: Donald Trump. 564 00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:48,800 Speaker 4: I think so Donald Trump is really the candidate of 565 00:32:48,840 --> 00:32:51,200 Speaker 4: common sense, and I think there are others who can 566 00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:55,600 Speaker 4: pick up that mantle and carry it effectively. The Democrats 567 00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:58,160 Speaker 4: problem isn't so much Donald Trump as it is the 568 00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:02,200 Speaker 4: fact that they've gone crazy on the issues. They're pro crime, 569 00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:06,840 Speaker 4: they have this whole trans thing going on, absolutely no 570 00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:11,160 Speaker 4: restraint when it comes to spending, and so it seems 571 00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:13,920 Speaker 4: to me that even after Donald Trump is gone, in 572 00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:17,880 Speaker 4: order to come back, the Democrats are going to have 573 00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:21,480 Speaker 4: to become a more mainstream party on the issues. 574 00:33:23,600 --> 00:33:27,720 Speaker 2: Well, talking about going crazy, let's hear from MSNBC pundit 575 00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:32,760 Speaker 2: Mully Fast. If the Democrats listen to this advice, John, 576 00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:34,560 Speaker 2: then they deserve what's coming. 577 00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:40,239 Speaker 15: Why are Democrats not Why are the polls back? Why 578 00:33:40,280 --> 00:33:42,000 Speaker 15: are they not breaking through? And I think it's a 579 00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:44,760 Speaker 15: couple of things. I think one is the people who 580 00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:48,440 Speaker 15: are breaking through are brave, right, they talk about humans, 581 00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:53,840 Speaker 15: They make the case Chris Murphy, Sharon Brown, Mondami, these 582 00:33:53,880 --> 00:33:58,160 Speaker 15: people AOC. They're not all exactly the same politically, but 583 00:33:58,240 --> 00:33:59,960 Speaker 15: they are the same in the fact that they're brave 584 00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:00,920 Speaker 15: and they break through. 585 00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:07,280 Speaker 2: I'd argue they are all the same politically, Jon, there 586 00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:10,279 Speaker 2: you go. You've got ma'm danni and Ioca. Are they 587 00:34:10,360 --> 00:34:12,680 Speaker 2: the solution to the democrats problems? 588 00:34:14,239 --> 00:34:17,040 Speaker 4: Yes, Rita, they're the saying they're socialists. We've got one 589 00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:20,160 Speaker 4: here in Minneapolis, you know where I live. There's a 590 00:34:20,200 --> 00:34:24,360 Speaker 4: guy named Omar Fonte who's an avowed socialist who's running 591 00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:27,720 Speaker 4: and is now the favorite to become the mayor of Minneapolis. 592 00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:31,080 Speaker 4: And I don't even understand the idea being of socialist. 593 00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:34,279 Speaker 4: I mean, America is not going to become a socialist 594 00:34:34,560 --> 00:34:37,319 Speaker 4: country and New York is not going to become a 595 00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:40,200 Speaker 4: socialist city. You know, this is a kind of a 596 00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:46,880 Speaker 4: luxury that certain voters who are limited to blue urban 597 00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:51,560 Speaker 4: areas can indulge. But outside of that handful of blue 598 00:34:51,800 --> 00:34:54,759 Speaker 4: urban areas, there is no support for this kind of 599 00:34:55,160 --> 00:34:58,360 Speaker 4: fire leftism. 600 00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:01,640 Speaker 2: John, we should have given a tree warning before this discussion, 601 00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:05,200 Speaker 2: because I think Democrats are going to be pretty disturbed 602 00:35:05,239 --> 00:35:06,560 Speaker 2: by what they're going to hear next. 603 00:35:08,040 --> 00:35:11,959 Speaker 13: Breaking tonight, Texas Republican legislators have just won their fight 604 00:35:12,040 --> 00:35:16,120 Speaker 13: over redistricting just moments ago. The state House vote is 605 00:35:16,239 --> 00:35:20,080 Speaker 13: now final. The bill aims to provide five additional congressional 606 00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:21,600 Speaker 13: seats for the GOP. 607 00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:28,960 Speaker 2: John How significant is this redistricting and are the states 608 00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:30,239 Speaker 2: looking at doing the same thing? 609 00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:34,000 Speaker 4: Well, read, of course, what's going on here is that 610 00:35:34,040 --> 00:35:38,440 Speaker 4: the Democrats have been jerrymandering for decades, and now that 611 00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:41,239 Speaker 4: the Republicans are trying to catch up, they're all up 612 00:35:41,280 --> 00:35:45,440 Speaker 4: in arms about it. But Democratic states like California, Illinois, 613 00:35:45,560 --> 00:35:51,080 Speaker 4: and Massachusetts and Maryland others are already heavily jerrymandered. Texas 614 00:35:51,120 --> 00:35:54,080 Speaker 4: isn't jerrymanderd at all, and so it's going to be 615 00:35:54,160 --> 00:35:57,600 Speaker 4: very difficult for the Democrats to respond effectively to this 616 00:35:57,719 --> 00:36:01,759 Speaker 4: because they've already wrung a about as many needs they 617 00:36:01,840 --> 00:36:03,760 Speaker 4: can out of the states that they control. 618 00:36:06,239 --> 00:36:11,160 Speaker 2: That is exactly true, and the absolute meltdown over the 619 00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:14,520 Speaker 2: Republicans starting to do what they've been doing for years 620 00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:18,680 Speaker 2: has been very amusing to observe. Now, let's discuss the 621 00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:22,400 Speaker 2: extraordinary talks of the past week, starting with the Alaskan 622 00:36:22,480 --> 00:36:27,200 Speaker 2: summit between President Trump and Vladimir Putin that saw European 623 00:36:27,280 --> 00:36:30,040 Speaker 2: leaders fly to the White House within forty eight hours 624 00:36:30,080 --> 00:36:33,400 Speaker 2: and in the hopes that a lasting peace agreement could 625 00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:38,040 Speaker 2: be struck. Between Russia and Ukraine. But vpjd Vance has 626 00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:41,520 Speaker 2: made it clear that it is Europe that must carry 627 00:36:41,520 --> 00:36:45,280 Speaker 2: the burden, that cannot continue to rely on the US 628 00:36:45,440 --> 00:36:47,040 Speaker 2: to play the leading role. 629 00:36:48,160 --> 00:36:50,160 Speaker 8: Well, I don't think we should carry the burden here. 630 00:36:50,239 --> 00:36:52,799 Speaker 11: I think that we should be helpful if it's necessary 631 00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:55,200 Speaker 11: to stop the war and to stop the killing. But 632 00:36:55,360 --> 00:36:57,960 Speaker 11: I think that we should expect, and the President certainly expects, 633 00:36:58,000 --> 00:36:58,840 Speaker 11: Europe to play. 634 00:36:58,680 --> 00:36:59,600 Speaker 8: The leading role here. 635 00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:02,920 Speaker 5: No matter what happens, no matter what form this takes, 636 00:37:03,160 --> 00:37:05,600 Speaker 5: the Europeans are going to have to take the line's 637 00:37:05,600 --> 00:37:06,719 Speaker 5: share of the burden. 638 00:37:08,560 --> 00:37:13,440 Speaker 2: John, is Europe up to the task, not yet Rita. 639 00:37:13,640 --> 00:37:16,840 Speaker 4: To be fair, they've made significant strides really since the 640 00:37:17,200 --> 00:37:20,240 Speaker 4: first Trump administration. He's been leaning on them to improve 641 00:37:20,280 --> 00:37:23,680 Speaker 4: their defense capabilities, and they have made some pretty serious 642 00:37:23,800 --> 00:37:27,319 Speaker 4: efforts in that direction. But I think the more significant 643 00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:29,880 Speaker 4: point as far as Ukraine is concerned is no, the 644 00:37:29,920 --> 00:37:33,200 Speaker 4: Europeans are not yet ready to really take on that burden, 645 00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:38,280 Speaker 4: but the United States is participating in the security guarantees 646 00:37:38,320 --> 00:37:41,439 Speaker 4: that are being given to Ukraine. We are not going 647 00:37:41,520 --> 00:37:44,880 Speaker 4: to have soldiers on the ground, but I believe that 648 00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:47,479 Speaker 4: the agreement is going to provide that the US will 649 00:37:47,520 --> 00:37:52,479 Speaker 4: provide air cover to protect Ukraine and Rita. No one 650 00:37:52,600 --> 00:37:55,080 Speaker 4: wants to mess with the United States Air Force. 651 00:37:57,640 --> 00:38:01,000 Speaker 2: No, absolutely not. What do you think about the plan 652 00:38:01,120 --> 00:38:05,359 Speaker 2: to bring Pewtin and Zelensky together? Donald Trump has said 653 00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:08,560 Speaker 2: he wants them to have a face to face meeting 654 00:38:08,640 --> 00:38:11,759 Speaker 2: to hash this out. Do you see that as feasible. 655 00:38:13,760 --> 00:38:15,680 Speaker 4: Well, it's really up to them, reader, but I think 656 00:38:15,719 --> 00:38:18,359 Speaker 4: it should be feasible. They are the ones that have 657 00:38:18,440 --> 00:38:21,400 Speaker 4: to solve this problem. They are the ones. They hate it. 658 00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:24,280 Speaker 4: They won't hate, you know, having to make a peace agreement, 659 00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:26,040 Speaker 4: but they've got to do it. They're the only ones 660 00:38:26,040 --> 00:38:28,759 Speaker 4: who can do it. And I think Trump is right 661 00:38:28,880 --> 00:38:31,000 Speaker 4: to say that the time has come for these two 662 00:38:31,080 --> 00:38:34,560 Speaker 4: guys to sit down, face to face and hammer out 663 00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:37,319 Speaker 4: an agreement that neither of them is going to like, 664 00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:38,960 Speaker 4: but that both of them can live with. 665 00:38:40,400 --> 00:38:44,760 Speaker 2: John Let's hear from Keir Starman now, who bizarrely claims 666 00:38:44,760 --> 00:38:46,600 Speaker 2: that there is not a family in the UK that 667 00:38:46,680 --> 00:38:50,520 Speaker 2: has not been personally impacted by the Russian Ukrainian War. 668 00:38:51,680 --> 00:38:55,040 Speaker 16: The war in Ukrainius had a huge impact, particularly on 669 00:38:55,120 --> 00:38:57,880 Speaker 16: the Ukrainians who bulled the front of it, but It's 670 00:38:57,920 --> 00:39:01,360 Speaker 16: also had an impact on Europe and on the United Kingdom. 671 00:39:01,400 --> 00:39:04,640 Speaker 16: There's not a family or community that hasn't been affected. 672 00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:08,160 Speaker 2: John, These European leaders have had three and a half 673 00:39:08,360 --> 00:39:10,919 Speaker 2: years to do something about ending this war. It looks 674 00:39:10,960 --> 00:39:14,200 Speaker 2: like the Trump administration we'll have to play a leading 675 00:39:14,280 --> 00:39:16,480 Speaker 2: role in securing lasting peace. 676 00:39:17,040 --> 00:39:20,400 Speaker 4: Well, Rita, we need to have a US, lasting US presidence. 677 00:39:20,400 --> 00:39:22,360 Speaker 4: You know who else had three and a half years 678 00:39:22,600 --> 00:39:25,440 Speaker 4: to address this problem. Joe Biden did, and of course. 679 00:39:25,200 --> 00:39:29,480 Speaker 2: He did well. Of course nothing and nobody. 680 00:39:29,080 --> 00:39:31,799 Speaker 4: Thinks that people like Starmer and Macron are really going 681 00:39:31,840 --> 00:39:34,640 Speaker 4: to be able to contribute a great deal here. 682 00:39:34,680 --> 00:39:34,919 Speaker 1: You don't. 683 00:39:35,239 --> 00:39:37,160 Speaker 4: At that session they had at the White House a 684 00:39:37,160 --> 00:39:40,840 Speaker 4: few days ago with all of the European leaders present, 685 00:39:41,120 --> 00:39:44,960 Speaker 4: the President of Finland said, we've made more progress in 686 00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:47,440 Speaker 4: the last two weeks than we've made in the preceding 687 00:39:47,480 --> 00:39:50,640 Speaker 4: three and a half years. In Georgia, Maloney, who I 688 00:39:50,760 --> 00:39:55,000 Speaker 4: like a lot, said yeah, something has changed. Well, I 689 00:39:55,040 --> 00:39:58,120 Speaker 4: think we all know what something is. Something is Joe 690 00:39:58,160 --> 00:40:01,759 Speaker 4: Biden is often arrest home somewhe and Donald Trump is 691 00:40:01,760 --> 00:40:04,480 Speaker 4: in the White House, and I'm hopeful, reader, it's up 692 00:40:04,520 --> 00:40:06,919 Speaker 4: to the parties. It's up to Ukraine and Russia. They're 693 00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:09,239 Speaker 4: the ones that have to make the deal. But I'm 694 00:40:09,320 --> 00:40:12,320 Speaker 4: hopeful that we are finally going to see peace in Ukraine. 695 00:40:14,800 --> 00:40:17,360 Speaker 2: I'm hopeful too, John Heinderreka, thank you so much for 696 00:40:17,400 --> 00:40:21,040 Speaker 2: your time. Tonight still to come. Why Manhattan judge has 697 00:40:21,160 --> 00:40:25,960 Speaker 2: rejected the Trump administration's bid to unseal the Jeffrey Epstein 698 00:40:26,160 --> 00:40:42,160 Speaker 2: grand jury testimony. Kinsey Schofield has the details. Welcome back. 699 00:40:42,280 --> 00:40:47,320 Speaker 2: Joining me now is celebrity and royal commentator Kinsey Schofield. Kinsey, 700 00:40:47,360 --> 00:40:51,680 Speaker 2: a Manhattan federal judge, has rejected the Trump administration's bid 701 00:40:51,719 --> 00:40:56,319 Speaker 2: to unseal the Jeffrey Epstein grand jury testimonies, saying that 702 00:40:56,480 --> 00:41:01,120 Speaker 2: it failed to demonstrate any special circumstance that would justify 703 00:41:01,160 --> 00:41:06,480 Speaker 2: releasing the transcripts. Kitty, how is this decision being received? 704 00:41:06,560 --> 00:41:10,200 Speaker 2: Surely it's in the public interest to release the testimonias 705 00:41:10,680 --> 00:41:12,440 Speaker 2: as long as the victims are protected. 706 00:41:13,320 --> 00:41:16,720 Speaker 12: No, I agree with you, But anytime new Epstein records 707 00:41:16,760 --> 00:41:21,520 Speaker 12: are blocked, it fuels more curiosity and suspicion. Conspiracy theories 708 00:41:21,600 --> 00:41:24,080 Speaker 12: thrive in that vacuum because the less people know, the 709 00:41:24,120 --> 00:41:26,600 Speaker 12: more they fill in the blanks themselves and with the 710 00:41:26,640 --> 00:41:31,160 Speaker 12: Trump administration having promised transparency but failing to deliver on it, 711 00:41:31,560 --> 00:41:34,520 Speaker 12: the public's distrust seems to deepen when it comes to 712 00:41:34,560 --> 00:41:38,359 Speaker 12: this story. But look, the judge said, the entire investigation 713 00:41:38,480 --> 00:41:42,439 Speaker 12: file is already in the DOJ's hands and seems more 714 00:41:42,480 --> 00:41:47,000 Speaker 12: substantial compared to the requests slash rejected documents. So I 715 00:41:47,040 --> 00:41:49,439 Speaker 12: think the judge is saying, you guys have a lot here. 716 00:41:52,760 --> 00:41:55,640 Speaker 2: Now. We haven't talked about this character for a while. 717 00:41:55,800 --> 00:42:00,640 Speaker 2: Conservative influencer Ashley Sinclair has clive that she could be 718 00:42:00,719 --> 00:42:05,400 Speaker 2: evicted amid her ongoing child support battle with Elon Musk, 719 00:42:05,920 --> 00:42:11,360 Speaker 2: the alleged father of her seven month old son, Romulus Kinsey. 720 00:42:11,480 --> 00:42:13,000 Speaker 2: What more can you tell me about this? 721 00:42:13,719 --> 00:42:13,879 Speaker 12: Oh? 722 00:42:13,960 --> 00:42:14,280 Speaker 6: Yes. 723 00:42:14,440 --> 00:42:17,160 Speaker 12: To combat her eviction, Ashley Saint Clair has launched a 724 00:42:17,160 --> 00:42:21,160 Speaker 12: new pat podcast called Bad Advice. She admitted that she's 725 00:42:21,280 --> 00:42:24,880 Speaker 12: made many questionable life choices and has a gap in 726 00:42:24,920 --> 00:42:29,160 Speaker 12: her LinkedIn profile that cannot be legally explained. She even warned, 727 00:42:29,200 --> 00:42:32,560 Speaker 12: I actually think I have the worst ideas, so consider 728 00:42:32,680 --> 00:42:34,040 Speaker 12: everything out of my mouth. 729 00:42:34,200 --> 00:42:35,760 Speaker 6: I cautionary tale. 730 00:42:35,960 --> 00:42:39,600 Speaker 12: She's you know, she claims her opinions for or She 731 00:42:39,640 --> 00:42:43,200 Speaker 12: claims her options for income were little Tonne after she 732 00:42:43,320 --> 00:42:47,880 Speaker 12: revealed that Elon Musk was allegedly the father of her child. Clearly, 733 00:42:47,960 --> 00:42:50,280 Speaker 12: she's self deprecating and has a good sense of humor, 734 00:42:50,320 --> 00:42:51,120 Speaker 12: so good luck to her. 735 00:42:53,719 --> 00:42:57,799 Speaker 2: I'd be surprised if that was true. And surely the 736 00:42:57,840 --> 00:43:01,080 Speaker 2: world's richest man isn't going to have his baby mama, 737 00:43:01,160 --> 00:43:04,200 Speaker 2: one of one of his many baby mamas and son 738 00:43:04,600 --> 00:43:08,040 Speaker 2: out on the streets. I mean, really is that likely? 739 00:43:08,360 --> 00:43:11,279 Speaker 2: And didn't she get a big payout from Elon Musk 740 00:43:11,400 --> 00:43:12,160 Speaker 2: not too long ago? 741 00:43:13,320 --> 00:43:16,960 Speaker 12: Well, he offered her a huge payout to stay quiet, 742 00:43:17,200 --> 00:43:20,279 Speaker 12: and they say that she was just she was very 743 00:43:20,360 --> 00:43:23,400 Speaker 12: envious watching his life next to Trump and wanted to 744 00:43:23,440 --> 00:43:25,680 Speaker 12: be a part of the show and just couldn't take 745 00:43:25,800 --> 00:43:29,440 Speaker 12: being this you know the secret. He does claim that 746 00:43:29,560 --> 00:43:32,000 Speaker 12: he gives her a significant amount of money, but he 747 00:43:32,160 --> 00:43:38,000 Speaker 12: decreased it when she started talking about him now. 748 00:43:38,200 --> 00:43:42,160 Speaker 2: Kid Rock has hit out at California Governor Gavin Newsom 749 00:43:42,239 --> 00:43:46,680 Speaker 2: after his office posted this on X kid Rock wants 750 00:43:46,760 --> 00:43:50,000 Speaker 2: you to support Gavin newsm Why would they do that? 751 00:43:50,719 --> 00:43:55,520 Speaker 2: Alongside an AI generated image of the musician. Kid Rock replied, 752 00:43:55,600 --> 00:44:00,239 Speaker 2: the only support Gavin newsm misspelled deliberately. Well, what ever 753 00:44:00,280 --> 00:44:05,360 Speaker 2: get out of me is from these nuts and usem 754 00:44:05,360 --> 00:44:08,399 Speaker 2: replied to that, I hate kid Rock, I mean kids. 755 00:44:08,440 --> 00:44:11,080 Speaker 2: It's clear what he's trying to do. Yeah, he's trying 756 00:44:11,120 --> 00:44:15,960 Speaker 2: to emulate Donald Trump on social media, but it's not 757 00:44:16,160 --> 00:44:19,040 Speaker 2: working for him. It's just giving desperate vibes. He's not 758 00:44:19,120 --> 00:44:19,840 Speaker 2: Donald Trump. 759 00:44:20,840 --> 00:44:22,160 Speaker 6: Yeah, I agree with you. 760 00:44:22,239 --> 00:44:26,040 Speaker 12: I honestly hate this, but analytically Fast Company magazine disagrees 761 00:44:26,080 --> 00:44:28,839 Speaker 12: with us and says it is working. Fox News host 762 00:44:28,880 --> 00:44:32,440 Speaker 12: Dana Perino was critical of the account, and on Tuesday, 763 00:44:32,520 --> 00:44:36,960 Speaker 12: Newsome tore into her in one of these Trump style tweets, 764 00:44:36,960 --> 00:44:40,840 Speaker 12: and the post garnered nearly five million views. Newsom's office 765 00:44:40,840 --> 00:44:45,640 Speaker 12: told Politico that their Twitter account x account has gained 766 00:44:45,760 --> 00:44:49,640 Speaker 12: more than two hundred and fifty thousand followers since August first. Obviously, 767 00:44:49,719 --> 00:44:52,279 Speaker 12: this is leading to further speculation that he could run 768 00:44:52,320 --> 00:44:54,759 Speaker 12: for president in twenty twenty eight, to which I would 769 00:44:54,800 --> 00:44:55,600 Speaker 12: point to. 770 00:44:55,520 --> 00:44:57,520 Speaker 6: The feces I have to step. 771 00:44:57,200 --> 00:45:00,919 Speaker 12: Over in downtown Los Angeles to get into my and say, 772 00:45:00,920 --> 00:45:03,200 Speaker 12: please God, no, do not put do not put this 773 00:45:03,280 --> 00:45:04,440 Speaker 12: man in charge of our country. 774 00:45:06,440 --> 00:45:09,960 Speaker 2: Well, he was mayor of San Francisco and that city 775 00:45:10,080 --> 00:45:13,000 Speaker 2: is at mess. As shadow of its former self. He's 776 00:45:13,040 --> 00:45:18,040 Speaker 2: been governor of California, inflicted enormous damage there. Could he 777 00:45:18,360 --> 00:45:21,280 Speaker 2: possibly foil his way up into the White House? 778 00:45:23,200 --> 00:45:25,479 Speaker 12: I want to say no, but I mean I've seen 779 00:45:25,600 --> 00:45:26,600 Speaker 12: I saw Joe Biden. 780 00:45:26,680 --> 00:45:28,480 Speaker 6: I witnessed that with my own two eyes. 781 00:45:28,760 --> 00:45:31,440 Speaker 12: So I mean with all of the chaos surrounding the 782 00:45:31,440 --> 00:45:35,239 Speaker 12: Biden family, yeah, I mean, you see people hate vote 783 00:45:35,280 --> 00:45:38,240 Speaker 12: and you see other things. Wild things happen in this country. 784 00:45:38,280 --> 00:45:38,960 Speaker 12: So I don't know. 785 00:45:41,520 --> 00:45:46,600 Speaker 2: He is definitely a very media savvy and they've got 786 00:45:46,600 --> 00:45:49,440 Speaker 2: a very shallow talent pulled the Democrats, So he may 787 00:45:49,480 --> 00:45:52,840 Speaker 2: be the candidate. Now let's move along to Post Malone. 788 00:45:52,880 --> 00:45:56,440 Speaker 2: He's featured in a country themed add for Skins. This 789 00:45:56,520 --> 00:46:00,520 Speaker 2: is the Tits brand founded by Kim Kardashian, and he's 790 00:46:00,520 --> 00:46:04,360 Speaker 2: stripped down to his underwear as the brand's newest face 791 00:46:04,480 --> 00:46:08,279 Speaker 2: could you say face in its men's line Kinsey. It's 792 00:46:08,280 --> 00:46:09,600 Speaker 2: an interesting collaboration. 793 00:46:10,560 --> 00:46:13,520 Speaker 12: Oh right, the collab not on my twenty twenty five 794 00:46:13,560 --> 00:46:18,400 Speaker 12: bingo card in his underwear in the woods. Spoke to 795 00:46:18,480 --> 00:46:21,280 Speaker 12: GQ about this, he told them, I've never done anything 796 00:46:21,360 --> 00:46:24,839 Speaker 12: like that. It's like a sasquatch siting essentially is what. 797 00:46:24,880 --> 00:46:27,360 Speaker 12: It feels like everyone's going to call in the cops 798 00:46:27,360 --> 00:46:30,399 Speaker 12: and say we saw bigfoot out there or average foot. 799 00:46:30,480 --> 00:46:33,120 Speaker 6: I mean to me, it's hilarious. 800 00:46:35,200 --> 00:46:38,280 Speaker 2: Well, I'll tell you country is so cool at the moment. 801 00:46:38,360 --> 00:46:41,239 Speaker 2: Everyone wants to embrace the country theme. Some do it 802 00:46:41,280 --> 00:46:44,040 Speaker 2: better than others. I think Beyonce, though she won that 803 00:46:44,120 --> 00:46:46,040 Speaker 2: album of the year country album of the Year, that 804 00:46:46,120 --> 00:46:49,640 Speaker 2: was a travesty, I don't think she's succeeded in any way. 805 00:46:49,680 --> 00:46:52,120 Speaker 2: I don't know if this is going to work, because 806 00:46:52,120 --> 00:46:55,200 Speaker 2: you've got to be authentic. You can't just pretend to 807 00:46:55,239 --> 00:46:58,040 Speaker 2: be country. You got to have it in you. Now, 808 00:46:58,120 --> 00:47:01,160 Speaker 2: Sydney Sweetey, I don't think I've talked about this girl 809 00:47:01,200 --> 00:47:03,279 Speaker 2: so much ever in my life, and I probably never 810 00:47:03,320 --> 00:47:07,040 Speaker 2: will again. But she's grabbing headlines everywhere, and she's hit 811 00:47:07,120 --> 00:47:11,399 Speaker 2: back at claims that she's leading too hard into suggestive 812 00:47:11,480 --> 00:47:16,200 Speaker 2: and over sexualized marketing, saying that the ads are strategic 813 00:47:16,280 --> 00:47:19,239 Speaker 2: and a lot of thought goes into them. She said 814 00:47:19,360 --> 00:47:22,439 Speaker 2: it was mainly the girls making comments about it, which 815 00:47:22,480 --> 00:47:25,880 Speaker 2: I thought was really interesting. She told the Wall Street Journal. 816 00:47:25,960 --> 00:47:30,480 Speaker 2: They all love the idea of Jacob Lordie's bathwater. I 817 00:47:30,520 --> 00:47:32,920 Speaker 2: don't even know who that is it Kinsey.
