Speaker 1: On Scolus Oscodia.
Speaker 2: This is the Reader Panalty Show.
Speaker 3: Good evening and welcome to the Reader Paney Show. Coming
Speaker 3: up tonight, a massive program for you. Kevin Rudd's days
Speaker 3: as ambassador here to be numbered, the strongest signs yet
Speaker 3: that Trump's team are not in a forgiving and forgetting mood.
Speaker 3: The Great Douglas Murray will join me shortly and he's
Speaker 3: got plenty to say about Trump, Biden and the electist media.
Speaker 3: Also on the program tonight, Prue McSween, Stephanie Bastion and
Speaker 3: Army Horowitz on the latest appointments to the Trump team,
Speaker 3: including ill On Mask and Vivek Ramaswami. And Left He's
Speaker 3: losing it has this dude who thinks he's your mummy.
Speaker 4: If your queer and your family voted for Trump like
Speaker 4: mine dead. Hi, Hello, I'm your mother now just checking in.
Speaker 3: But first, Kevin Rud's role as Australian ambassador to the
Speaker 3: US is on life support unless he can pull off
Speaker 3: a diplomatic miracle. Just look at this post from Donald
Speaker 3: Trump's long standing political aid and senior campaign advisor, Dan
Speaker 3: Scavino Junior. He posted this in response to Kevin's statement
Speaker 3: congratulating Donald Trump. It's an hour glass about to run
Speaker 3: out of sand. And yes, this Kevin crisis is entirely
Speaker 3: self inflicted. We've played you some of his comments about
Speaker 3: Donald Trump. Here is one of the posts he deleted recently,
Speaker 3: where he wrote of Trump the most destructive president in history.
Speaker 3: He drags America and democracy through the mud. He thrives
Speaker 3: on fomenting, not healing division. He abuses Christianity, Church and
Speaker 3: the Bible to justify violence. Oh dear me, it's also
Speaker 3: called Trump a traitor to the West. Joining me now
Speaker 3: for more on this. Sky News contributor Prue McSwain, Prue,
Speaker 3: it's quite the dire tribe. And I think Kevin Rudd
Speaker 3: is going to find out the hard way that actions
Speaker 3: have consequences. These emotional, undergraduate musings are going to be costly.
Speaker 3: Well read it.
Speaker 5: This man is a dead man walking, let's face it.
Speaker 5: You know, good relationships are built on trust and mutual respect,
Speaker 5: and I'm sure that Trump doesn't have either for Kevin.
Speaker 5: And then you have this situation where Alberanzi is having
Speaker 5: to prop him up. He's become a lamed up ambassador
Speaker 5: because we hear that he's already enlisted Morrison to help
Speaker 5: him through it.
Speaker 3: I mean, this is bizarre, isn't it.
Speaker 2: To say the least?
Speaker 5: And we all know that Alberanzi doesn't want to admit
Speaker 5: another deed of misjudgment.
Speaker 3: You know, this is why he.
Speaker 5: Won't call him back or replace him. He would rather
Speaker 5: put our relationship with one of the strongest allies we have,
Speaker 5: our national security, our respects internationallyed just to prop up himself.
Speaker 3: Now, Milania Trump has refused to meet with Jill Biden
Speaker 3: for the traditional First Lady's Morning tea at the White
Speaker 3: House because of that FBI raid on Mara Lago also
Speaker 3: told The New York Post that Millennia is still fuming. Understandably,
Speaker 3: I would say the quote here is Jill Biden's husband
Speaker 3: authorized the FBI snooping through her underwear draw and she
Speaker 3: thinks that the bidens are disgusting, and Jill Biden isn't
Speaker 3: someone Milania needs to meet. I would think this is
Speaker 3: fair enough. Through that the law fair that was used
Speaker 3: against her husband, the raid on her private residence, at
Speaker 3: the entire Justice Department campaign against their family. I can
Speaker 3: understand why Milania doesn't want to pretend it's all okay.
Speaker 3: And we're going to sit down and have a couple
Speaker 3: of tea like we're friends.
Speaker 5: Well, the world, let alone all of Washington, knows that
Speaker 5: Biden was the one who's been probably orchestrating her lame
Speaker 5: duck husband for quite a while, and she would be
Speaker 5: behind a lot of this colluding with Pelosi, I presume
Speaker 5: in terms of you know, the gotcha moments with Rudd,
Speaker 5: sorry with Trump to try and get him.
Speaker 2: Out of contention.
Speaker 5: And so I don't blame Millennia. She's a strong woman.
Speaker 5: Why would she put up with playing nice with this
Speaker 5: woman who's been colluding against their family. And I was
Speaker 5: amused to also see that even Kamala didn't shake Jill's
Speaker 5: hand when they appeared on at some sort of a
Speaker 5: ceremony just the other I mean, people understand that Jill
Speaker 5: Biden is the force behind her husband and has been
Speaker 5: probably orchestrating a lot of the decisions that are being
Speaker 5: made in Washington.
Speaker 3: So it was a.
Speaker 5: Nice tradition when previous First Ladies invited new ones to
Speaker 5: see the White House. Millennia is very familiar with it.
Speaker 5: She doesn't need to have to do the right thing
Speaker 5: and play nicely with this woman because she never has.
Speaker 3: Well, yes, they broke every norm in the way they
Speaker 3: attacked her husband, their family and the lawfare that I
Speaker 3: mentioned before. Good on her for being authentic and not
Speaker 3: pretending things are okay. This story is incredible. This just
Speaker 3: shows you that cancel culture is not over. Australian singer
Speaker 3: songwriter front woman of the Jezebel's Hailey Mary, has been
Speaker 3: canceled for wearing a mega hat. I had to look
Speaker 3: at her Instagram page earlier, prou and it is just
Speaker 3: a mess of lefties losing their teeny tiny minds. So
Speaker 3: much hate, so much bile and vitriol just because she's
Speaker 3: don bad hat and made a political message. It wasn't
Speaker 3: the only image there was a number of images was
Speaker 3: posted and the hate she's receiving from her own followers
Speaker 3: is incredible.
Speaker 5: Well, they believe that the mega hat is a symbol
Speaker 5: of division and racism and as anophobia, and you know,
Speaker 5: you have to say they're delusional. They've been smoking too
Speaker 5: much of something. I think I'd give this girl a
Speaker 5: job in marketing. She's so smart. She wanted to protest
Speaker 5: and get some attention around her hatred and concerns about
Speaker 5: the misinformation Bill and what better way to do it
Speaker 5: than to use this prop And frankly, I.
Speaker 2: Think she's very smart.
Speaker 5: She's raised her concerns about it, and really, if she's
Speaker 5: going to be canceled by these morons, well it's probably
Speaker 5: a good thing. It's about time she probably learned a
Speaker 5: lesson that the people she's been playing with who are
Speaker 5: in that pool with her, are not going to ever
Speaker 5: play nicely and just you know, out of touch and
Speaker 5: so good honor.
Speaker 3: I'll be interesting to see if this entire exercise has
Speaker 3: a red pilled and she actually does become right leading
Speaker 3: or a conservative per McSween, thanks for your time, pleasure
Speaker 3: joining me now is best selling author of The War
Speaker 3: on the West, Douglas Murray Douglas. We will get to
Speaker 3: Trump's red waves shortly, but let's start with President Joe
Speaker 3: Biden's performance in recent days. Here he is yesterday dodging
Speaker 3: reporters questions and trying to stay upright. It's the president.
Speaker 6: Why are you going to stay to Trump on Wednesday?
Speaker 7: Oh mister president, what are you gonna talk with?
Speaker 3: Joba was there and earlier today he was asked this
Speaker 3: reasonable question by a reporter from Israel's channel thirteen.
Speaker 4: Listen to his response, President Biden, do you think that
Speaker 4: you can cut a hostage deal by at the end.
Speaker 3: Of your term?
Speaker 6: Well, I think the head by chand behind.
Speaker 3: Him, Douglas. That's a somewhat bizarre answer to a very
Speaker 3: reasonable question. What do you make of that?
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, you just have to remind yourself that
Speaker 1: only a few months back, the Democrats were all trying
Speaker 1: to pretend that this was a president on peak form
Speaker 1: who had another four and a bit years left in him.
Speaker 1: It should be a reminder, I mean, things have moved
Speaker 1: very fast in the past few months. It should be
Speaker 1: a reminder of just how foolish the Democrat Party seemed
Speaker 1: to think the American public are. Why do they think
Speaker 1: that that people couldn't see Why do they think that
Speaker 1: we can't see it now? Why did papers like The
Speaker 1: New York Times hide this from the American public. Why
Speaker 1: did Kamala Harris hide it from the American public? Why
Speaker 1: did Nancy Pelosi, Dr. Jill Biden, Chuck Schumer and all
Speaker 1: the rest of them try to hide this from the
Speaker 1: general public. It's been excruciating in recent years, particularly in
Speaker 1: the past year, and yet this is a political party
Speaker 1: that thought that they could run this guy again. And
Speaker 1: it's very sad to see. I've said to you before Eata.
Speaker 1: You know, it's laughable and tragic. But really the Democrats
Speaker 1: should have a look at themselves, even before getting to
Speaker 1: the Kamla disaster, and say what were they doing, what
Speaker 1: were they thinking? What's wrong with this party?
Speaker 3: And what's wrong with the media, because the media plied
Speaker 3: along with this delusion for the entire term. And well,
Speaker 3: I guess you can say that there hasn't been a
Speaker 3: great deal of accountability for all of that deception other
Speaker 3: than the election result. Donald Trump's red wave is complete.
Speaker 3: He has secured the presidency by the biggest margin by
Speaker 3: a Republican in thirty six years. He has secured the Senate,
Speaker 3: the House, the popular vote biggest ever by Republican, and
Speaker 3: one every single swing state. You spoke to Donald Trump
Speaker 3: in recent days, how do you think Trump two point
Speaker 3: zero will be different to his first.
Speaker 1: Term that was taken Mara Lago on the Navy election
Speaker 1: where I was there and I was at the convention
Speaker 1: center when he gave his victory speech. You know, it's
Speaker 1: early days. The transition is taking place. Early appointments have
Speaker 1: already been announced, some more are imminent, and it's clear
Speaker 1: I think several things already. One is that Trump and
Speaker 1: Trump's team have said for a long time, you know,
Speaker 1: that they wanted to come in, first of all, with
Speaker 1: a resounding victory. When his team said to me at
Speaker 1: the Madison Square Gardens event a couple of weeks ago,
Speaker 1: now that they wanted not only to secure a victory,
Speaker 1: but such a decisive victory that it would include the
Speaker 1: popular vote. You know, I thought, well, sure, you know,
Speaker 1: everybody would like that. But the fact that they actually
Speaker 1: achieved it is remarkable. And there's several very important things
Speaker 1: about that. One is it gives Donald Trump an extraordinarily
Speaker 1: clear and clean mandate. The second thing is that the
Speaker 1: Democrats complain none of the games about well, the electoral college,
Speaker 1: this is the popular vote. That no, he got all
Speaker 1: of it, and that should cause them some serious times
Speaker 1: for reflection in the Democrat Party. But Trump and his
Speaker 1: team have been clear about a number of things. Firstly,
Speaker 1: they seem to everything I've heard, to be fully aware
Speaker 1: that in the twenty sixteen to twenty administration, you know,
Speaker 1: there was a lot of firing, a lot of hiring.
Speaker 1: By the way, even that's different from President Joe Biden,
Speaker 1: who never fired anyone. Sometimes you wonder if he was
Speaker 1: even aware who was working for him. And but but
Speaker 1: there was a lot of everyone's aware. There was a
Speaker 1: lot of upheaval in the first term.
Speaker 2: I think it's a very.
Speaker 1: Clear desire to make sure that's not the case this time.
Speaker 1: And they're getting people into positions who have not just experience,
Speaker 1: but who have a very clear mandate themselves. I mean,
Speaker 1: getting people like Congresswoman at least Stephanic into the United
Speaker 1: Nations job, Congressman Tim Waltz also. You know, this is
Speaker 1: this is a very serious administration that's being put together,
Speaker 1: with some very distinguished figures in it already. And so
Speaker 1: I think I think the main thing is just that thing,
Speaker 1: not just of of some continuity, but of a sort
Speaker 1: of an intent to have a calmness in the administration
Speaker 1: this time that was sometimes missing last time. It's also
Speaker 1: clear that you know, there's there's going to be no
Speaker 1: sort of recruiting of people who aren't Trump loyalists. You know,
Speaker 1: Trump has had so many defaults his last administration who
Speaker 1: have shot him in the back and the front metaphorically
Speaker 1: speaking of course, and he obviously doesn't want any more
Speaker 1: of that, the sort of you know, the Kellys and
Speaker 1: others who said things that he completely disputes about him.
Speaker 1: It's clear they don't want that kind of rollercoaster anymore.
Speaker 1: And so I think it's going to be very, very
Speaker 1: interesting to see the more appointments that come in the
Speaker 1: coming days.
Speaker 3: I think you're one hundred percent right, and it's very
Speaker 3: clear now that he's not going to repeat those mistakes.
Speaker 3: He's not going to have these rivals in the inner sanctum.
Speaker 3: I think he thought initially it was a way of
Speaker 3: countering the anti Trumpers to keep your enemies closer, but
Speaker 3: that's not the way to get things done. And I
Speaker 3: think he had two point. I is going to be
Speaker 3: very different. You wrote a piece for The New York
Speaker 3: Post on the ten things Donald Trump can do to
Speaker 3: clean up Joe Biden's messes abroad, starting with Ukraine and
Speaker 3: ending with Iran. He's got plenty of missus to clean
Speaker 3: up domestically, Douglas, how much focus do you think will
Speaker 3: be on foreign affairs?
Speaker 1: Well, I think there'll be a significant amount. But the
Speaker 1: main thing is that just Donald Trump being president elect
Speaker 1: is already starting to change the calibration of the world.
Speaker 1: You know, he is somebody who understood and has understood
Speaker 1: for years the Chinese Communist Party as the main strategic
Speaker 1: competitor to the United States, and he realized that Americans
Speaker 1: had to a great extent been taken for a ride
Speaker 1: in trade terms for years, the best part of a
Speaker 1: quarter of a century. Right now he's the only resident,
Speaker 1: and I think he's in a position to actually do
Speaker 1: something about that. He says he wants to bring about
Speaker 1: the swift end to the Ukraine conflict that I said,
Speaker 1: we'll see about that, But there's you know, there's a
Speaker 1: lot of opportunity and potential there. The Middle East is
Speaker 1: where I think he's going to have the biggest impact
Speaker 1: because the Ayatollahs in Iran were being throttled by him
Speaker 1: economically when he was last in office, and I would
Speaker 1: hope that he would start to do that again, because
Speaker 1: of course we've seen in the last year, in particular,
Speaker 1: what happens when the revolutionary Islamic government of Iran is rich,
Speaker 1: it exports terror and colonialism across the region. So I
Speaker 1: think there's going to be a massive shift there. There
Speaker 1: are also big strategic questions we have seen this axis
Speaker 1: that has come together in Joe Biden's time in office,
Speaker 1: which is the want of a better abbreviation, the Russia, China,
Speaker 1: North Korea Iran axis, and it's going to be very
Speaker 1: important to pull that apart. China will be the one
Speaker 1: that's most important to pull apart from Russia. It's relatively
Speaker 1: easy to pull people away from Iran when people realize
Speaker 1: that the Ayatolas will become the pariahs that they should
Speaker 1: always have been. But there's a lot of opportunity here,
Speaker 1: and already there are rumors. We'll see what happens, but
Speaker 1: the terror sponsoring slave state of kata has already started
Speaker 1: to say that it might it might end up not
Speaker 1: actually remaining a retirement home or indeed a base for
Speaker 1: the terrorist group Hamas, And that'll be interesting to see
Speaker 1: if Katar realizes that it backed in every single way
Speaker 1: the losing side.
Speaker 3: Now, you summed it up beautifully in the Telegraph when
Speaker 3: you said this election wasn't about race, it wasn't about
Speaker 3: gender and abortion, all the issues the media seemed to
Speaker 3: be hyper focused on. It was about secure borders, the economy,
Speaker 3: and government overreach. And I would argue Douglas that last
Speaker 3: point was hugely significant for many of Trump's voters. The
Speaker 3: law fair against Trump and his allies. This two tier
Speaker 3: justice system that even targets conservative mums at school board meetings.
Speaker 3: It's a big issue for many in Trump's space.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, absolutely. I mean the interesting thing about not
Speaker 1: just the radical left, but the left in general in Australia,
Speaker 1: in Britain, in the US and other Western countries, Canada particularly,
Speaker 1: is that the moderate left thought that there were all
Speaker 1: of these issues which were like right wing talking points
Speaker 1: or what didn't really affect people's lives.
Speaker 7: You know.
Speaker 1: Professional adults like Alistair Campbell in the UK have just
Speaker 1: started in recent days to sort of start to say,
Speaker 1: maybe the thing of big hairy men being allowed in
Speaker 1: women's lockers, locker spaces, locker rooms is not something that
Speaker 1: is just being made up by right wing fanatics. Maybe
Speaker 1: we should have listened to women. They say this late
Speaker 1: in the day. Not just the far left, the center left,
Speaker 1: the moderate left vastly underestimated the way in which culture
Speaker 1: or issues are not made up by conservative pundits, but
Speaker 1: are things that are felt by any parent whose daughter
Speaker 1: is training in an elite sport. It's felt in people's lives.
Speaker 1: It's felt by parents whose children come back from school
Speaker 1: having been told that there are million genders and a
Speaker 1: lot of other woo woo nonsense. And when it comes
Speaker 1: to things like the border, you know, they seem to hope,
Speaker 1: the Democrats seem to hope that the American public would
Speaker 1: not think anything particularly awry and would just be told
Speaker 1: it was a Project twenty twenty five conspiracy that for
Speaker 1: four years the border had been open and millions and
Speaker 1: millions of people had come into the United States illegally.
Speaker 1: They thought that people didn't mind about that. They thought
Speaker 1: they could take these votes for granted. And the amazing
Speaker 1: thing is that they thought they could do this by
Speaker 1: playing the dei game at the highest possible level. Why
Speaker 1: wouldn't you want to vote for Kamela. She's a woman.
Speaker 1: If you're a woman, you have to vote for Kamela.
Speaker 1: Guess what, Camela's from an ethnic minority. Unless you hate
Speaker 1: ethnic minorities, why would you not vote for Kamela. I mean,
Speaker 1: this was seriously their pitch. And then you got all
Speaker 1: of the Democrat commentators on the media who zoomed in
Speaker 1: on the abortion issue again, when this is actually something
Speaker 1: which has healed significantly in the United States in the
Speaker 1: last few years since the overturning of Roe v. Wade,
Speaker 1: as people realize that this is a state issue, and
Speaker 1: states can vote one way or they can vote more another.
Speaker 1: But when you see these white dudes for Harris who
Speaker 1: were trying to you seemed to think that the most
Speaker 1: important thing about this election was to make it much
Speaker 1: easier for their daughter to abort their grandchild. I was like,
Speaker 1: why did you think that was an appealing message? When
Speaker 1: you have cost of living crisis, you have the world
Speaker 1: having conflicts breaking out that didn't break out until recent years,
Speaker 1: when you have a totally open border, when you have
Speaker 1: the crime that comes from that, the the the debt
Speaker 1: that comes from that, the government overspend that comes from that.
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, as Elon Musk said the other day,
Speaker 1: there's a there's about two trillion dollars a year you
Speaker 1: could you could you could shave off from the federal
Speaker 1: government's budget in the US. And one of the things
Speaker 1: you can do would be to strip out all of
Speaker 1: the wasteful, woke nonsense, among other things, which isn't just
Speaker 1: not helping America, it's holding it back. And if they
Speaker 1: can do that if they can strip out this horrible
Speaker 1: destructive mechanism that's been put in place in teaching, in
Speaker 1: education where American taxpayers pay more per student than almost
Speaker 1: anyone else in the world, and get out of it
Speaker 1: one of the worst education results of anywhere in the world,
Speaker 1: including the developed world. These are things that are really serious,
Speaker 1: and the Democrats did not run a serious campaign. They
Speaker 1: had an unseerious candidate who wouldn't even answer a question seriously.
Speaker 1: So thank goodness of the American public have seen through that.
Speaker 3: Now before you go, the leftist media has been in
Speaker 3: full meltdown mode. They haven't heeded any of the messages
Speaker 3: as you just spoke about. They're just doubling down on
Speaker 3: the identity politics, and as entertaining as that is for
Speaker 3: me and my Left is losing its segment. It's not
Speaker 3: helping their ratings. Douglas MSNBC's ratings have tanked, diving a
Speaker 3: staggering fifty four percent. In primetime, shows like Joy Reid
Speaker 3: and Lawrence o'donald's have lost more than half their audience,
Speaker 3: and CNN is also having a rough time. It's planning
Speaker 3: to will the acts on some of its biggest stars
Speaker 3: it seems like calling half the country Nazis, fascists and
Speaker 3: white supremacists is not a winning formula. Douglas, Well, no,
Speaker 3: it isn't.
Speaker 1: And some of us Rita, we've said this for a
Speaker 1: while about them, haven't we. You know, I mean, it
Speaker 1: was amazing, as we said the other day, now that
Speaker 1: Kamala Harris's campaign went from joy to literally hitler in
Speaker 1: three months. And the most intelligent Democrats and leftists and
Speaker 1: others and you know, anti Trump Republicans, most of them
Speaker 1: will I hope spend this grieving process that they're going
Speaker 1: to go through actually learning some lessons. It's been very
Speaker 1: interesting in recent days. This isn't like post twenty sixteen
Speaker 1: at all. There actually haven't been as many complete meltdown
Speaker 1: and there's lots of reasons for that. But I'd like
Speaker 1: to think putting a positive spin on it is that
Speaker 1: one of them is that some of the Democrats and
Speaker 1: others have actually started to get the message. Maybe we
Speaker 1: shouldn't call the public garbage. Maybe when Donald Trump wins
Speaker 1: the popular vote, it's not enough to call anyone who
Speaker 1: has ever supported him a Nazi. It's not enough to
Speaker 1: talk about brown white supremacists. And black white supremacists and
Speaker 1: Jewish Nazis and everything else. And there will be some
Speaker 1: people who'll still try to do that. You just mentioned
Speaker 1: one of the particular people who's broken out of the asylum,
Speaker 1: Joy Read. She's a pure race beata. She's a black
Speaker 1: race beata who just loves causing racial division in America.
Speaker 1: And she's one of the very few who's tried to
Speaker 1: double down since this. I don't see a future for
Speaker 1: people like her on the media. That their ratings are
Speaker 1: horrible and their behavior is much more horrible, and so
Speaker 1: no wonder people are turning off. I think it's really important.
Speaker 8: I say this.
Speaker 1: You know, the Democrats who ever want to get back
Speaker 1: into office again have to listen to this result and
Speaker 1: realize it wasn't the public that was wrong.
Speaker 3: Absolutely, and just finally, on Joy Reach, you had an
Speaker 3: Ivy League psychiatrist on it just in the last couple
Speaker 3: of days saying stop seeing family members who voted for Trump.
Speaker 3: It's essential to stop communicating and spending the Christmas and
Speaker 3: Holidays with your loved ones. Crazy Douglas Ury, thanks for
Speaker 3: your time. This evening.
Speaker 1: Great pleasure still to come.
Speaker 3: Lefties losing it class President Elect Donald Trump's team is
Speaker 3: coming together and Trump two point zho will be uncompromising.
Speaker 3: Army Horrowitz with the details. Welcome back. Now it's time
Speaker 3: for lefties losing it and let's hear from this member
Speaker 3: of the lgbt QIAA plus plus plus community who tells
Speaker 3: his followers don't worry. If your family voted for Donald Trump,
Speaker 3: forget about them. I'm your mummy.
Speaker 4: Now if your queer and your family voted for Trump
Speaker 4: like mine dead, Hi, Hello, I'm your mother now, just
Speaker 4: checking in. Have you drank water today?
Speaker 1: Did you eat? Did you take your meds?
Speaker 3: Emphasis on the meds, and this next white dude for Camaloe,
Speaker 3: who masqueraded as an unbiased journalist, could also do with
Speaker 3: some meds. Here is CBS journalist John Dickerson with Stephen Colbert,
Speaker 3: just fighting back the twos.
Speaker 8: How would you explain that to a fourteen year old today?
Speaker 1: How would you explain this election?
Speaker 3: I'll try it to think about my boys, because yes,
Speaker 3: I can only imagine how embarrassed his poor sons are.
Speaker 3: Right now, here's another lefty who is desperate to be
Speaker 3: a victim. Of course, they can never articulate what rights
Speaker 3: they have. Apparently, lost. These people are so tight.
Speaker 7: Knowing that I was born with more rates than I
Speaker 7: have now it's a pretty crazy feeling knowing that what
Speaker 7: we're about to go through, I mean to the possibility
Speaker 7: of me putting more of my right and that being
Speaker 7: a real threat.
Speaker 1: It is insane.
Speaker 3: Yes, insane. It is a word he should reflect on
Speaker 3: long and hard, in front of a mirror, preferably. And
Speaker 3: this next last could also do with some self reflection.
Speaker 6: I was just walking down the street to go and
Speaker 6: get my medication because I'm out and I need.
Speaker 3: It for today.
Speaker 6: And I saw a woman walking her two kids, and.
Speaker 1: She had got her fees.
Speaker 3: And I looked at her.
Speaker 8: We mean, I contact people.
Speaker 3: Kind of nodded like we were both.
Speaker 6: Just devastated, and you could just tell her her eyes
Speaker 6: thank you. I believe this country did this again? Why
Speaker 6: did I let myself up?
Speaker 7: Oh?
Speaker 3: Tiresome, So tiresome. Now time to check in on the
Speaker 3: ladies of the view. And today it's a whoopee who's
Speaker 3: taking a break from scolding the public about being concerned
Speaker 3: with that cost of living the economy. You see, she
Speaker 3: now gets it. She's just working goal as well, struggling
Speaker 3: to make ends meet. We're all in this together, folks.
Speaker 9: When you have one candidate who has been running for
Speaker 9: twelve years, lies and changes things, I appreciate that people
Speaker 9: are having hard time too.
Speaker 1: I work for a living.
Speaker 9: If I had all the money in the world, I
Speaker 9: would not be here.
Speaker 2: Okay, So I'm a working porrister.
Speaker 3: There you have it. She's just like you, guys. She's
Speaker 3: just struggling with mortgage payments and gas prices. Except she's
Speaker 3: earning around eight million dollars a year. And that was
Speaker 3: back in twenty twenty two. It could be even more now.
Speaker 3: That's six hundred and sixty six thousand, six hundred and
Speaker 3: sixty six dollars a every single month. According to that report,
Speaker 3: joy Beja earns seven million a year and Sonny Houstin
Speaker 3: is on one point six million. Maybe that's why she's
Speaker 3: the angriest of the lotter machin, joy Beja out earning
Speaker 3: you by that much for doing the same work. Guys.
Speaker 3: You know what, all of that's fairly depressing. I think
Speaker 3: I feel a dance break coming on. President elect Donald
Speaker 3: Trump's team is coming together, and Trump two point zero
Speaker 3: will be uncompromising in delivering his mega agenda. These are
Speaker 3: all his people thoroughly vetted established histories. The first time around,
Speaker 3: he did have a few in his team who were
Speaker 3: rivals critics. He thought it was a way of countering
Speaker 3: the anti Trumpers, to try to neutralize them. But the
Speaker 3: whole keep your enemy's closest strategy is gone, thank god.
Speaker 3: And among his selections is Marco Rubio for Secretary of State.
Speaker 3: Here is Rubio being confronted by pro Palestinian activists.
Speaker 1: From the contrary are filming. I want you guys to
Speaker 1: get this.
Speaker 7: I want them to destroy every element of her mask
Speaker 7: they can get their hands on.
Speaker 2: These people are vicious animals who did horrifying crimes.
Speaker 3: And I hope you guys post that.
Speaker 9: What about the civilians?
Speaker 10: Every day, Marsias stop hinting behind civilians, putting civilians on
Speaker 10: the way harm ask knew that this was going to
Speaker 10: lead to this, so Hamas stopped building their military installations
Speaker 10: underneath hospital.
Speaker 5: So you don't care the fifteen thousand, you don't care
Speaker 5: about the babies that.
Speaker 3: I think it's terrible and I think Commas is one
Speaker 3: hundred percent to blame.
Speaker 1: That's what I think. Make sure you post that.
Speaker 3: Please make sure you post that. Let's bring in documentary
Speaker 3: filmmaker and journalists. Army Horoid's army. It's quite an appointment.
Speaker 3: And today we learned that Vivek Ramaswami and Il Musk
Speaker 3: will lead the Department of Government Efficiency to the smartest
Speaker 3: guys in any room, working together to cut government. That
Speaker 3: wis That's it's quite a winning team.
Speaker 2: Yes, it is cvs Paris Bellum. Secure peace by preparing
Speaker 2: for war. That has been the saying through the ages
Speaker 2: from Classowitz to John Wick and now to Donald Trump.
Speaker 2: Welcome to the Donald Trump doctrine as opposed to the
Speaker 2: Biden doctrine, which is war through cowardice. Right, That's essentially
Speaker 2: what we had then, and this is what we have
Speaker 2: now and I'm super humped for it. Look, this is
Speaker 2: not a neo isolationist policy that people were scared of.
Speaker 2: How do I know because the people who we appointed.
Speaker 2: And by the way, how do I know because we've
Speaker 2: seen this in the past. This is another continuation of
Speaker 2: the first Trump administration. We know we did, We know
Speaker 2: what happened. Look, this is not hart. Is he going
Speaker 2: to abandon Ukraine like people are trying to make I
Speaker 2: just believe. No, of course not. He might hold them
Speaker 2: more accountable. But let's not forget that when did Russia
Speaker 2: invade Ukraine during the Obama administration, during the Biden administration.
Speaker 2: When he didn't go after them was during the Trump administration. Guys,
Speaker 2: this is not hard stuff. Okay, this is going to
Speaker 2: be a muscular forum policy which is going to essentially
Speaker 2: say peace through strength. That's the bottom line. And he's
Speaker 2: appointing phenomenal people. By the way, Pete Hegseeth is now
Speaker 2: going to be second Defense. He's going to have Mike
Speaker 2: Huckabee as as the ambassador Israel. Friends of mine, I
Speaker 2: feel like a proud papa. It's wonderful. Look as far
Speaker 2: as Vivek and and Elon look generally, Yeah, I'm not
Speaker 2: in favor of creating new departments to create more efficiency,
Speaker 2: but I think in this case, I'll give him the pass. Look,
Speaker 2: Elon Musk is the right guy for the right job.
Speaker 2: How do I know this? Just compare SpaceX to NASA. Okay,
Speaker 2: SpaceX is ten times more efficient and twice as fast
Speaker 2: as NASA. That when when they have cost overruns, SpaceX
Speaker 2: has one percent cost overruns as opposed to ninety percent
Speaker 2: for NASA. Okay, this is the man we need for
Speaker 2: this job. He created an entire industry, the electric car industry,
Speaker 2: out of his own mind. By the way, how is
Speaker 2: he not getting credit for that from the world crowd?
Speaker 2: Of course he's not. He's demonized. Look is Viveka one
Speaker 2: of the smartest guys in the room. Of course he is.
Speaker 2: Just ask him. I'm pumped. This is gonna be.
Speaker 3: Great now, let's see it. From Joe Reagan and comic
Speaker 3: Theo Von both of whom did long form interviews with
Speaker 3: Donald Trump, but both were off the left. Joe Rogan
Speaker 3: was a big Bernie Sanders fan. They both seemed to
Speaker 3: have been red peeled. And here I think theovue really
Speaker 3: what helped clinch the nomination and the presidency for Trump.
Speaker 8: You want to hear someone crazy Trump At the day
Speaker 8: of the election, Dana Waite told me he'd been up
Speaker 8: for seventy two hours.
Speaker 7: Unbelievable.
Speaker 2: How is that possible? He goes, Dude, he's a freak.
Speaker 8: The guy is as resilient. No one could go through
Speaker 8: all that. When the Justice Department started to come over,
Speaker 8: that's when a lot of people were like, you know what,
Speaker 8: the only thing we should be able to believe in
Speaker 8: this country is at least the justice system and if
Speaker 8: they're over and then he got shot at a couple
Speaker 8: of times.
Speaker 3: Dude, bit of blue language there, but you get the idea. Army.
Speaker 3: I think that nomination was his when that Mara Lago
Speaker 3: rate happened, when we had all the law fail, the
Speaker 3: trumped up charges, the Democrats thought if he was cast
Speaker 3: as a convicted felon, he'd be unelectable. And in the
Speaker 3: end they just exposed what lengths they were going to
Speaker 3: go to go to to try to clinch this election,
Speaker 3: and people weren't having it this time around.
Speaker 2: They use the IRS on the bombministration to go after people,
Speaker 2: and yes, that turned people off. I don't know how
Speaker 2: they don't get this and they don't understand this. When
Speaker 2: you try to demonize people, they will not follow you.
Speaker 2: This is really simple stuff. Look, I can tell you
Speaker 2: as personally. When they try to frame Trumps as an
Speaker 2: anti Semite, as a fascist, as Hitler, and they try
Speaker 2: to convince Jews, okay, I'm gonna do they treads on me.
Speaker 2: It didn't work. I'm sorry. I'm not that dumb. When
Speaker 2: they try to scare Latinos and they said, look, what
Speaker 2: is more racist? Than trying to convince people like Latinos
Speaker 2: or Jews that they have to vote a certain way
Speaker 2: because I'm viewing that way right. They credit manufacturer contrived
Speaker 2: controversy about Puerto Rico. Nobody bought it. They failed from
Speaker 2: beginning to end, because why their policies are failing. They
Speaker 2: know that they understand that they had to come with
Speaker 2: something in order to knock Trump out and to get
Speaker 2: other people to follow them. But guess what we do.
Speaker 2: It simply did not work.
Speaker 3: And on that manufactured outrage about Puerto Rico, the man
Speaker 3: who made the joke, because if you actually didn't see
Speaker 3: the rally, you would have thought Trump had said that
Speaker 3: joke about Puerto Rico and floating island of garbage. But
Speaker 3: the man who actually did make the joke, Tony Hinchcleapis,
Speaker 3: finally addressed it.
Speaker 10: On my speech on free speech, I referenced Puerto Rico,
Speaker 10: which currently has a landfill problem in which all of
Speaker 10: their landfills are filled to the brim. I guess I'm
Speaker 10: the only person that knew about this. With that said,
Speaker 10: i just want to say that I've been I love
Speaker 10: Puerto Ricans, very smart people, and they're smart enough to
Speaker 10: know when they're being used as political fodder. I apologize
Speaker 10: to absolutely nobody, not to the Puerto Ricans, not to
Speaker 10: the whites, not to the blacks, not to the Palestinians,
Speaker 10: not to the Jews.
Speaker 3: And it's refreshing approach to take. Ami. If you've done
Speaker 3: nothing wrong, don't apologize.
Speaker 2: Now. Look, the massive and racist disconnect between the media
Speaker 2: and the Democratic Party was incredible. Okay, Again, to expect
Speaker 2: a group of people to vote a certain way is
Speaker 2: by definition racist. How do they not understand that? At
Speaker 2: the bottom line on this thing. Look, and by the way,
Speaker 2: to make it worse, they're doubling down on this insanity.
Speaker 2: I mean, you're now hearing people talk about how Latino
Speaker 2: men are exemplifying toxic masculinity. Guys, this is not the
Speaker 2: approach to take when you are absolutely losing among Latinos
Speaker 2: who were part of your coalition that won the last
Speaker 2: couple of races. This is not the way you handle it.
Speaker 2: They don't get it, they don't understand it. And you
Speaker 2: know what, great, I'm glad because all that's going to
Speaker 2: do is lead to a more entrenched Republican majority. Let's
Speaker 2: do it. Let's go for this now.
Speaker 3: Let's see it from Nancy Pelosi. She played a key
Speaker 3: role in the quiet coup against Joe Biden. She's claiming
Speaker 3: now that Kamala's loss was what Biden's fault because he
Speaker 3: didn't step down sooner, and if Kamala had more time, she.
Speaker 11: We had the president gotten out sooner, there may have
Speaker 11: been other candidates in the race. Commonly, I think still
Speaker 11: would have won, but she may have been stronger having
Speaker 11: taken her case to the public sooner. The anticipation was
Speaker 11: that if there if the president word to stepiside, that
Speaker 11: there would be an open primary.
Speaker 3: Who is she kidding? The longer Kamala had, the worst
Speaker 3: it was. I mean, they should have left it to
Speaker 3: the last minute and given her a week or two
Speaker 3: before people could work her out and see just how
Speaker 3: vacuous she was, how completely unprincipled.
Speaker 2: I think that.
Speaker 3: That is just bizarre from Nancy Pelosi, because whatever you
Speaker 3: say about her, she is normally a pretty savvy political operator.
Speaker 3: And if she's blaming Joe Biden for not stepping down sooner,
Speaker 3: that seems to be the wrong call.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, I mean, they wanted to give Americans
Speaker 2: more time to get to know the human pretent from
Speaker 2: village we know is Kamala Harris. Are you kidding me?
Speaker 2: More time? The only reason why she got this close
Speaker 2: because they didn't really know who at all. That's the
Speaker 2: reason this wasn't even a bigger blowout. Look, this woman ran.
Speaker 2: Let's not forget she ran the Democratic nomination in twenty twenty.
Speaker 2: She had to pull out in twenty nineteen, two months
Speaker 2: before the first vote because no one wanted her. Forget Americans.
Speaker 2: The Democratic Democrat only didn't want her. But she was
Speaker 2: put in obviously, as we know, because she was a
Speaker 2: DII candidate. By the way, that's not racist, that's just fact. Yeah,
Speaker 2: they wanted her, She wanted hurt the Americans get to
Speaker 2: know her better. Oh my god, Nancy, can't you're lucky
Speaker 2: stars they knew as poolly as they did. It's crazy talk.
Speaker 3: Well, who's going to be the next one for the Democrats?
Speaker 3: You look at the Republican side and they've got a
Speaker 3: lot of impressive young talent. You can see who their
Speaker 3: potential candidates can be for the next twenty years. We
Speaker 3: talked to earlier about Vivet Grammar Swami. You've got Ron DeSantis.
Speaker 3: You have obviously JD. Vanced that their talent pool is
Speaker 3: significant there. And I'm looking at the Democrat side, who
Speaker 3: do you see as the next one who they'll be
Speaker 3: looking to in four years to put them back in
Speaker 3: the White House.
Speaker 2: You know, it's so interesting. This is actually the first
Speaker 2: time since nineteen ninety two that they haven't had a
Speaker 2: front runner four years earlier. No, that's the great there's
Speaker 2: no one. This is a signif. First of all, before
Speaker 2: they can choose who will be a front runner, the
Speaker 2: Democrats have to decide and which direction are they going
Speaker 2: to go. They have to decide whether or not they're
Speaker 2: going to move to the center, which will lead to
Speaker 2: more wins, or they're going to double down and move
Speaker 2: to the hard left because they're not as pure. And
Speaker 2: there you hear it now, already hear there's a disconnect.
Speaker 2: So half the people are saying in the Democratic Party,
Speaker 2: we didn't move to the center enough, but half are
Speaker 2: still saying, we weren't giving all our all, we weren't
Speaker 2: pure to our values. Okay, that is a recipe for loss.
Speaker 2: I have one thing to say to you, Rashida Tula
Speaker 2: twenty twenty eight. I'm there for you.
Speaker 3: Yet that's not the whole squad running together, Amy Horowitz,
Speaker 3: thanks via time still to come. The government thinks sixteen
Speaker 3: is too young to be on social media, but not
Speaker 3: too young to have irreversible gender surgery. Stephanie Bastion shows
Speaker 3: me next welcome back, joining me now all the way
Speaker 3: from India. Is Head of Advocacy at Women's Forum Australia,
Speaker 3: Stephanie Bastian Stephanie. The woke gender ideology was a huge
Speaker 3: flash point in the American presidential election. The Donald Trump
Speaker 3: campaign targeted Democrat Kamala Harris's support of radical trans policies
Speaker 3: like taxpayer funded gender transition surgeries for prison inmates, and
Speaker 3: one of their most effective ads was all about that topic.
Speaker 1: Kamala support taxpayer funded sex changes for prisoners, surgery for prisoners,
Speaker 1: for prisoners.
Speaker 3: Every transgender in me in the prison system would have access.
Speaker 2: Now, no, I don't want my taxpayer dollars going to
Speaker 2: Kamala supports transgender sex changes in jail where our money.
Speaker 8: Kamala even supports letting biological men compete against our girls
Speaker 8: in their sports.
Speaker 2: Kamala is for dy them.
Speaker 8: President Trump is for you.
Speaker 3: Kamala is for they them. Here's for you. It's a
Speaker 3: very effective message. The overwhelming majority of people, whether they're
Speaker 3: Democrats or Republicans, are on the same page on this topic, Stephanie.
Speaker 3: But how long before our politicians in this country realize
Speaker 3: that this is actually an issue people care about and
Speaker 3: give them a choice at the polling booth.
Speaker 12: With the election of Trump, it's going to bring in
Speaker 12: a title wave of change.
Speaker 3: He really put this issue on the agenda.
Speaker 1: I mean, being able to.
Speaker 12: Talk about this has been suppressed by powerful lobby groups
Speaker 12: for so long because of the pressure on employment and
Speaker 12: so on and so forth. But we know that people
Speaker 12: are very at this We know that it is having
Speaker 12: huge impacts on the community, on children who are being
Speaker 12: medically transitioned, on women's sports safeties. So I have no
Speaker 12: doubt that this is going to come to Australia and
Speaker 12: be an election issue at the federal election next year.
Speaker 12: Our federal MPs will no longer be able to hide
Speaker 12: behind the talking points of powerful lobby groups like ACON,
Speaker 12: and they will have to have a position on how
Speaker 12: they're going.
Speaker 3: To address this issue.
Speaker 12: They're going to have to have a position on whether
Speaker 12: they'll hold an inquiry, and they're going to have to
Speaker 12: have a position on how they're going to fix it.
Speaker 3: Well, here in Victoria, we've got some of the most
Speaker 3: radical trans laws anywhere in the world. Nobody really voted
Speaker 3: for this. The Liberals did not oppose any of this.
Speaker 3: In fact, they went to the state election promising that
Speaker 3: they wouldn't change these laws. All these change in mindset
Speaker 3: filtered down to the state governments because a lot of
Speaker 3: these laws are state based. It's all well and good
Speaker 3: to have the fight federally, but what about at state level.
Speaker 12: Well, I certainly think an inquiry is going to put
Speaker 12: an impact on the healthcare system who are providing these services.
Speaker 12: But there was a paper published in the Stage Journal
Speaker 12: earlier this month that highlighted the link the impact that
Speaker 12: our conversion therapy laws, particularly the ones that include gender
Speaker 12: identity as part of those attributes, are having on gender
Speaker 12: filming care effectively legislating them. So I think that the
Speaker 12: scandals that will come out of a public inquiry will
Speaker 12: state governments to act because the ramifications of ignoring it,
Speaker 12: the victims are the repercussions of all of that are
Speaker 12: going to be too heavy for them not to be.
Speaker 3: And one of the changes we've seen right now is
Speaker 3: posing age limits for social media, saying that children under
Speaker 3: sixteen shouldn't be on social media sites. Yet children of
Speaker 3: that age can have double missectomies, they can certainly have
Speaker 3: very powerful treatments, are puberty blockers, all sorts of irreversible treatments.
Speaker 3: It just seems completely mad that we won't let them
Speaker 3: have a Twitter or Instagram account at that age, but
Speaker 3: they can submit to radical, life changing medical treatments and procedures.
Speaker 12: Yeah, it's very concerning, and you look at how quickly
Speaker 12: they're ramming through the misinformation bills. It just looks like
Speaker 12: one big tidy package to control what people are doing online.
Speaker 12: The end of the day, parents are responsible for their children,
Speaker 12: and if the government really cared about what kids are
Speaker 12: accessing online, they'd be targeting things like porn sites that
Speaker 12: are driving up sexual assaults in primary schools and even
Speaker 12: in kindergartens because kids have access to this stuff.
Speaker 3: It doesn't pass the pub test just on that issue.
Speaker 3: Do we know how young people in this country teenagers
Speaker 3: in this country are having some of these irreversible surgeries
Speaker 3: like double missectomies or other procedures. Do we know at
Speaker 3: what age group they are performing these well life changing surgeries?
Speaker 12: We know anecdotally that they can access it in very
Speaker 12: early teens, some at sixteen.
Speaker 2: But the government really.
Speaker 12: Tries to hide this data because under Medicare these medical procedures,
Speaker 12: if you're having a double misseectomy, it doesn't determine whether
Speaker 12: it's for breast cancer or for these treatments. So the
Speaker 12: government is very careful at hiding this sort of data
Speaker 12: and it's really hard to get an accurate response.
Speaker 3: Stephanie Bastian, thank you so much for your time tonight.
Speaker 12: Thank you reader.
Speaker 3: That's it for me. Up next is Newsnight. I'll see
Speaker 3: you at eleven tomorrow
