And left is losing and has the 12 00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:48,519 Speaker 2: ladies of the view wondering whether they'll survive three more 13 00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:49,280 Speaker 2: years of Trump. 14 00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:53,240 Speaker 3: Every day it's every day is a shuck and owe 15 00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:57,560 Speaker 3: here and I for one skeptical that we will survive this. 16 00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:00,000 Speaker 4: First. 17 00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:03,880 Speaker 2: Victorian Opposition leader Brad Batten has pledged to keep transgender 18 00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:07,800 Speaker 2: sex offenders out of women's prisons. As premiers listened to 19 00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:12,200 Speaker 2: Alan Ignores pleas to have a transgender inmate who sexually 20 00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:16,319 Speaker 2: abused his five year old daughter removed from a female 21 00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:17,440 Speaker 2: correction facility. 22 00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:21,240 Speaker 5: Any person who wants to choose in their life what 23 00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:24,000 Speaker 5: they identify as that is one hundred percent their choice, 24 00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:26,319 Speaker 5: but not at the risk of others. And there needs 25 00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:28,479 Speaker 5: to be a line in the sand that says no, 26 00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:31,440 Speaker 5: there is certain things and not acceptable and people going 27 00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:34,840 Speaker 5: into the opposite sex prisons are putting people at risk. 28 00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:36,839 Speaker 5: That is something that needs to be considered and wouldn't 29 00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:39,360 Speaker 5: happen under a government I lead now. 30 00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:43,520 Speaker 2: The sex offender in question, a father who now identifies 31 00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:47,880 Speaker 2: as a woman and calls himself Hillary Maloney, took thirteen 32 00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:52,480 Speaker 2: videos and sixty four images of himself sexually abusing his daughter, 33 00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:55,560 Speaker 2: five year old daughter across the state one month period 34 00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:59,200 Speaker 2: after agreeing to engage in those vile acts for the 35 00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:03,400 Speaker 2: sexual gratify vocation of American pedophile Sam Booth, who he 36 00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:08,160 Speaker 2: called his master now. Brad Batten also slammed the sentence 37 00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:11,440 Speaker 2: given to this offende minimum jail term of just two 38 00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:15,560 Speaker 2: and a half years when the maximum is twenty five years, 39 00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:19,080 Speaker 2: but the judge in the case through that because the 40 00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:23,000 Speaker 2: offender was transitioning to being a woman and that transition 41 00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:26,679 Speaker 2: wasn't fully accepted by those around him. Because of that, 42 00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:30,000 Speaker 2: his moral culpability was reduced. 43 00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:34,480 Speaker 5: These are sentences that are not in line with community expectations. 44 00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:36,760 Speaker 5: That is why we will make sure we will review 45 00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:37,720 Speaker 5: all of the sentence in. 46 00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:38,840 Speaker 6: Here in Victoria. 47 00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:41,560 Speaker 2: Joining me now for more on this, ask Sky News 48 00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:46,160 Speaker 2: contributors Caroline dei Rosso and Evelyn Ray. Caroline, I'll start 49 00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:48,920 Speaker 2: with you. I wrote about this issue again in the 50 00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:53,960 Speaker 2: Herald Sun today. There is something very wrong, very sick 51 00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:58,320 Speaker 2: with the judiciary, with the bureaucracy, with the expert class 52 00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:02,480 Speaker 2: in Victoria. When something like this happens. This doesn't happen 53 00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:03,239 Speaker 2: in isolation. 54 00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:07,400 Speaker 4: No, it doesn't happen in isolation. 55 00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:11,600 Speaker 7: And what was very interesting as well as a corollary 56 00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:15,480 Speaker 7: to that, is to Cinter Allen has not been as 57 00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:17,280 Speaker 7: eager to be in front of the media as she 58 00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:21,200 Speaker 7: usually is because obviously this is something that is just 59 00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:26,400 Speaker 7: impossible to defend, impossible to justify, and I think she 60 00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:31,200 Speaker 7: knows that. I think Brad Baton summed it up perfectly 61 00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:34,680 Speaker 7: and his position, I think is totally in line with 62 00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:41,720 Speaker 7: community expectations. You know, it is not appropriate for biological 63 00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:44,760 Speaker 7: men to be in women's prisons. Like he said, you 64 00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:47,320 Speaker 7: can make whatever decision you want in life, but you 65 00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:51,120 Speaker 7: don't have the luxury of visiting those consequences on other people. 66 00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:54,040 Speaker 2: We've got to look at the cases in Victoria. I 67 00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:58,400 Speaker 2: remember more than three years ago being contacted by women 68 00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:04,080 Speaker 2: from Dame from correction facility that signed a petition to 69 00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:09,160 Speaker 2: have a male predator identifying as women removed from their prison. 70 00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:13,720 Speaker 2: They were terrified and Evelyn, no one was listening to them, 71 00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:16,919 Speaker 2: not Corrections Victoria, certainly not the labor government, and at 72 00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:20,719 Speaker 2: that time even the opposition in this state was too 73 00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:23,320 Speaker 2: gutless to take a stand for these women. 74 00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:29,400 Speaker 8: Yeah, it's just another clear example of the hierarchy of ideologies, 75 00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:33,880 Speaker 8: you know. Put simply, this is another example of prioritizing 76 00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:37,880 Speaker 8: the trans movement over women's safety, you know, and when 77 00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:42,600 Speaker 8: women's safety takes a back seat to any ideological movement, 78 00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:46,520 Speaker 8: we as a society should be very, very concerned. You know, 79 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:50,359 Speaker 8: we have politicians in this country who either can't or 80 00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:54,080 Speaker 8: just flat out refuse to define what a woman is. 81 00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:57,800 Speaker 9: And that is a massive, massive red flag. 82 00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:00,320 Speaker 8: These were questions that five year olds could answer up 83 00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:03,680 Speaker 8: until five minutes ago. You know, common sense unfortunately is 84 00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:07,960 Speaker 8: incredibly fleeting. But the reality is when you abandon common sense. 85 00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:11,440 Speaker 8: When you forsake truth and you replace it with these 86 00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:16,000 Speaker 8: ideological things that abandon those very foundations, the people who 87 00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:18,720 Speaker 8: get hurt are often the ones who are actually living 88 00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:23,599 Speaker 8: in truth, and it's the ones who are constantly censoring, constantly, 89 00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:26,720 Speaker 8: you know, trying to shut down any rhetoric that goes 90 00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:30,760 Speaker 8: against them. It's just it's, honestly, the people who are 91 00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:32,680 Speaker 8: most vulnerable who are going to get the most hurt, 92 00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:34,760 Speaker 8: and that's what we're seeing play out in these prisons. 93 00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:38,200 Speaker 8: I'm honestly disgusted by the result of this court matter. 94 00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:39,960 Speaker 2: Two and a half years I. 95 00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:42,839 Speaker 8: Worked in child sex crimes in Australia as a detective 96 00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:45,880 Speaker 8: and I can tell you from firsthand experience that this 97 00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:48,839 Speaker 8: isn't like a one off thing. I've seen it time 98 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:54,040 Speaker 8: and time again where ideological movements get priority over justice. 99 00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:56,040 Speaker 4: And you know, the reason why the West. 100 00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:58,800 Speaker 8: Has prospered for so long above second and third world 101 00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:02,080 Speaker 8: countries is because we have always wielded the sword of 102 00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:06,200 Speaker 8: justice very well. That it's an incentive to not commit 103 00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:09,280 Speaker 8: crime because you go, oh crap, I don't want the punishment. 104 00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:11,359 Speaker 8: I don't want to have to reap the consequences. But 105 00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:14,120 Speaker 8: The more that we diminish these things in place of 106 00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:16,839 Speaker 8: these ideological movements, the more we are going to regress 107 00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:18,880 Speaker 8: to second and third world nations, because it's. 108 00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:21,039 Speaker 2: Quite simply is just not good enough. 109 00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:24,080 Speaker 8: And I think that, you know, women make up over 110 00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:25,279 Speaker 8: fifty percent of this nation. 111 00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:26,440 Speaker 4: I think we can make. 112 00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:28,640 Speaker 8: A pretty loud noise, especially if we have the good 113 00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:31,600 Speaker 8: men and politicians who can stand around us. And that's 114 00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:33,080 Speaker 8: what we should really be pushing for. 115 00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:39,279 Speaker 2: Now. Let's move on to the barefoot investor Scott paper 116 00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:42,480 Speaker 2: lashing out of the Albanezy government over it's five percent 117 00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:46,360 Speaker 2: deposit scheme for first home buyers which has just come 118 00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:50,960 Speaker 2: into effect. He's branded an insult. He warned the policy 119 00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:55,840 Speaker 2: risked first home buyers taking up taking on ninety five 120 00:06:55,920 --> 00:07:00,200 Speaker 2: percent mortgages, making them vulnerable to interest rate high and 121 00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:03,920 Speaker 2: inflation spikes. He writes, it's dressed up as a helping hand, 122 00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:07,320 Speaker 2: but it's really just a shove into bigger debt. Instead 123 00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:10,560 Speaker 2: of making homes more affordable, it will push prices higher 124 00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:14,320 Speaker 2: and encourage first home buyers to borrow more and save less. 125 00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:20,680 Speaker 2: That's subprime lending Australian style. Caro. Why is the government 126 00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:26,440 Speaker 2: getting involved in private home purchases. We already have companies 127 00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:29,240 Speaker 2: that provide lenders mortgage insurance. So if you want to 128 00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:33,880 Speaker 2: borrow ninety five percent ninety percent, why is the government 129 00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:39,480 Speaker 2: getting involved in this area. Well, I've spent plenty of 130 00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:44,200 Speaker 2: time in my former life doing back end enforcement work 131 00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:47,840 Speaker 2: for the bank, so I've seen this go south on 132 00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:50,120 Speaker 2: more than one occasion, and particularly. 133 00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:51,080 Speaker 4: During the GFC. 134 00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:53,400 Speaker 7: We obviously didn't have the same you know, sort of 135 00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:56,120 Speaker 7: circumstance or to the extent that happened in the US, 136 00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:57,920 Speaker 7: but there was some of it that happened here. 137 00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:01,400 Speaker 4: What the government is doing, or is. 138 00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:05,600 Speaker 7: They're pretending to help, They're pretending to fix reta And 139 00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:07,520 Speaker 7: this won't come as a surprise to you, but big 140 00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:10,840 Speaker 7: buckets have cash actually don't fix problems. And in the 141 00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:14,720 Speaker 7: case of something like housing, it actually makes the problem 142 00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:19,400 Speaker 7: worse because the supply hasn't changed, but you're putting a 143 00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:23,400 Speaker 7: big extra chunk of demand onto the market. What Barefoot 144 00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:27,080 Speaker 7: Investor said is absolutely correct. All it is doing is 145 00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:31,560 Speaker 7: putting a bigger set of golden handcuffs on first homeowners. Okay, 146 00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:34,839 Speaker 7: some of them might be able to go into this 147 00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:39,160 Speaker 7: into their mortgage, maybe with a two percent or three percent, 148 00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:43,520 Speaker 7: two or three years sorry, fixed loan. But after that, 149 00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:47,319 Speaker 7: and as is usually the case in Australia, loans become 150 00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:50,719 Speaker 7: variable if they're not variable from the beginning, so they 151 00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:52,760 Speaker 7: are absolutely subject to. 152 00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:54,880 Speaker 4: Fluctuations, and not just that. 153 00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:56,920 Speaker 7: If you're not one of the first people to get 154 00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:58,640 Speaker 7: in there and buy a house and get it done 155 00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:01,040 Speaker 7: right at the beginning, something like this is going to 156 00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:05,000 Speaker 7: have an inflationary impact. And even just the rises that 157 00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:08,560 Speaker 7: we've seen in house prices over the last three months 158 00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:13,000 Speaker 7: GUS the September quarter, it adds an extra eighteen thousand 159 00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:16,240 Speaker 7: dollars to the price of a house. So if you can, 160 00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:18,960 Speaker 7: if you can save an extra eighteen grand in a quarter, 161 00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:21,040 Speaker 7: well good on you. But I tell you what, it's 162 00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:23,360 Speaker 7: just going to make things tougher for everyone out there. 163 00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:27,760 Speaker 2: Evelyn Ray, I'm run out of time. If I can 164 00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:30,600 Speaker 2: get a response in about fifteen seconds. Do you see 165 00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:33,240 Speaker 2: any upside to this policy for first time buyers? 166 00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:35,480 Speaker 9: Absolutely no upside. 167 00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:37,800 Speaker 8: I think it's important to remember if the government owned 168 00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:39,239 Speaker 8: one percent of your home. 169 00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:43,120 Speaker 2: And you are one hundred percent of your home, well 170 00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:45,640 Speaker 2: said Evelyn Ray. Caroline de Rousso, thank you so much 171 00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:49,160 Speaker 2: for your time, tonight.

Douglas, I'm keen 175 00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:03,680 Speaker 2: to get your thoughts on the war against populism being 176 00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:06,520 Speaker 2: waged by the likes of Kis Starmer and our own 177 00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:10,440 Speaker 2: Prime Minister Anthony Alberanezi. But let's start in the US, 178 00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:15,040 Speaker 2: where Hillary Clinton has decried white men of a certain 179 00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:20,200 Speaker 2: religion for reversing what she calls social progress. 180 00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:22,400 Speaker 6: The idea that you could turn the clock back and 181 00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:27,640 Speaker 6: try to recreate a world that never was dominated by 182 00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:31,600 Speaker 6: you know, let's say it, white men of a certain persuasion, 183 00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:35,400 Speaker 6: a certain religion, a certain point of view, a certain ideology. 184 00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:40,400 Speaker 6: It's just doing such damage to what we should be 185 00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:42,640 Speaker 6: aiming for, and we were on the path toward that. 186 00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:48,079 Speaker 2: There you go, Douglas, white Christian men holding back social progress. 187 00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:54,280 Speaker 10: Well, Hillary Clinton obviously believes in the myth that so 188 00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:57,559 Speaker 10: many progressives do, which is that you're on a trajectory 189 00:10:57,559 --> 00:11:00,960 Speaker 10: to just have more and more rights, get more and 190 00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:05,840 Speaker 10: more freedoms, and more and more liberal in their understanding 191 00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:09,199 Speaker 10: of the term, and that anything that doesn't go along 192 00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:12,400 Speaker 10: with that, including for instance, not voting for Hillary Clinton, 193 00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:18,520 Speaker 10: it revealed a terrible mock failing. And it's just always 194 00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:22,840 Speaker 10: so striking the presumptuousness of that and. 195 00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:23,880 Speaker 9: The sour grapes of it. 196 00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:26,600 Speaker 10: And they always add that thing of going back to 197 00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:30,480 Speaker 10: a world that never existed, knowing I would have thought 198 00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:33,480 Speaker 10: or being able to intuit. A lot of people don't 199 00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:35,400 Speaker 10: want to go back to a world that never existed, 200 00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:39,920 Speaker 10: but they would like to live in stable, secure societies 201 00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:43,520 Speaker 10: that were proud of their identity and history. And that 202 00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:46,000 Speaker 10: isn't a make believe world. That isn't a world that 203 00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:48,160 Speaker 10: never existed. It's one that some of us can remember 204 00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:51,560 Speaker 10: in our own lifetimes. It's impossible to imagine a world 205 00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:54,880 Speaker 10: in which Hillary Clinton said, it's unfortunate that there's been 206 00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:59,360 Speaker 10: a rise in female genital mutilations in Western societies, but 207 00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:03,480 Speaker 10: you know that's the fault of dark skinned men of 208 00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:08,640 Speaker 10: a certain religion. Wow, the talk show hosts in America 209 00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:10,360 Speaker 10: wouldn't NodD belong to that. 210 00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:13,080 Speaker 9: But as always. 211 00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:17,000 Speaker 10: Rita, it's acceptable to beat up on Christians, and especially 212 00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:21,199 Speaker 10: acceptable to beat up on white men and if white 213 00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:23,640 Speaker 10: men are Christians, then we all know. I mean, they've 214 00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:25,800 Speaker 10: got it coming, haven't they. I mean, they are standing 215 00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:28,640 Speaker 10: in the world in the way of Hillary Clinton's world, 216 00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:30,480 Speaker 10: not for the first. 217 00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:36,160 Speaker 2: Time, and that she would make these comments just two 218 00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:40,840 Speaker 2: weeks after Charlie Kirk's assassination. She is just so tone 219 00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:44,320 Speaker 2: deaf and offensive in so many ways. But staying in 220 00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:47,719 Speaker 2: the US, New York Mayor Eric Adams has dropped out 221 00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:51,280 Speaker 2: of the racer. We've got the hardline socialist Zor and 222 00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:55,160 Speaker 2: man Danny polling very strongly, and he now has the 223 00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:59,079 Speaker 2: backing of Kamala Harris. Look, as far as I'm concerned, 224 00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:02,920 Speaker 2: he's the Democratic he should be supported. 225 00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:04,920 Speaker 9: Do you endorse his candidacy? 226 00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:09,200 Speaker 2: I support the Democrat in the race. Sure you have 227 00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:13,840 Speaker 2: a Douglas, the former VP has no reservations about backing 228 00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:15,040 Speaker 2: a man like Mandani. 229 00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:16,960 Speaker 11: Yeah. 230 00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:20,120 Speaker 10: I mean, this is the great test for the Democratic 231 00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:23,400 Speaker 10: Party is whether or not they actually go with a 232 00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:30,319 Speaker 10: democratic socialist and somebody who has not just the terrible 233 00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:36,320 Speaker 10: track record of views and alliances, but of course zero 234 00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:40,280 Speaker 10: track record as being able to be a mayor. 235 00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:41,240 Speaker 9: Of a city like New York. 236 00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:44,760 Speaker 10: I mean, I don't think you'd be mayor of any small, 237 00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:47,079 Speaker 10: tiny city of a few hundred or village of a 238 00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:50,160 Speaker 10: few hundred people. I don't know what the Democrats think 239 00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:55,360 Speaker 10: think in putting forward somebody who's so manifestly unsuited for 240 00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:58,600 Speaker 10: such an important role. I'm sorry to see Mayor Adams 241 00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:01,120 Speaker 10: fall out of the race, although I think it's probably 242 00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:07,240 Speaker 10: the right decision. I'm hoping, as most people that don't 243 00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:10,880 Speaker 10: want Mam Daney to get in are hoping that people 244 00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:14,280 Speaker 10: will coalesce around one of the other candidates, and that's 245 00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:15,680 Speaker 10: obviously Mayor Adams's hope. 246 00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:17,720 Speaker 9: I think he's done the dignified and right thing. 247 00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:20,440 Speaker 10: He was a good mayor and he's a good man, 248 00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:23,480 Speaker 10: and I'm not sure that could be said of the 249 00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:27,520 Speaker 10: person who is currently polling well to be his successor. 250 00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:34,040 Speaker 2: Now switching to the uk KRE, Starma continues to champion 251 00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:38,280 Speaker 2: digital ID, says it will be compulsory and it's the 252 00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:40,280 Speaker 2: only way to tackle illegal immigration. 253 00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:42,040 Speaker 4: We need to be. 254 00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:46,560 Speaker 12: Really clear, you must have an ID mandatory digital ID 255 00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:49,720 Speaker 12: in order to work, because we have to stop illegal 256 00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:52,359 Speaker 12: working Douglas. 257 00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:54,800 Speaker 2: More than two and a half million people have already 258 00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:59,240 Speaker 2: signed a petition against Starma's digital ID what are your 259 00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:01,520 Speaker 2: thoughts on the merits of this policy. 260 00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:07,720 Speaker 10: Well, this is a reheated policy from the Blair era 261 00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:12,440 Speaker 10: and it's another reminder that Starma doesn't have any real 262 00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:15,480 Speaker 10: policies of his own. But presumably Tony Blair or somebody 263 00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:17,880 Speaker 10: from Blair circle has said why not give this another go. 264 00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:21,440 Speaker 10: It was fantastically unpopular twenty years ago, but perhaps people 265 00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:22,280 Speaker 10: will be with it now. 266 00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:25,080 Speaker 9: I'm not one of those libertarians who. 267 00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:28,480 Speaker 10: Objects to the idea of ID because I think that 268 00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:31,040 Speaker 10: government's going to come and snoop and all that sort 269 00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:34,080 Speaker 10: of thing. I object to it, particularly rolled out on 270 00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:39,640 Speaker 10: these grounds, because you don't need digital ID to prove 271 00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:42,720 Speaker 10: your right or otherwise to be in the UK. And 272 00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:46,560 Speaker 10: it does absolutely nothing I can see serious to crack 273 00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:49,400 Speaker 10: down on illegal migration. I mean, for instance, if you 274 00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:52,240 Speaker 10: wanted to crack down on illegal migration, you don't have 275 00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:53,400 Speaker 10: to get everyone in the. 276 00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:55,800 Speaker 9: United Kingdom to sign up to digital ID. 277 00:15:56,040 --> 00:16:01,920 Speaker 10: You could send boats out into the channel, stop illegal 278 00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:08,080 Speaker 10: migrant gangs sending illegals into the UK. You could stop 279 00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:13,280 Speaker 10: the UK Border Force acting as the helpmates of the 280 00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:17,160 Speaker 10: smuggling gangs by going out and you know, halfway through 281 00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:20,720 Speaker 10: the Channel maybe a bit more. If the boat doesn't 282 00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:23,480 Speaker 10: have to have any troubles for the UK Coast Guard 283 00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:25,840 Speaker 10: and the Royal Navy and others to pick up the 284 00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:28,720 Speaker 10: illegal migrants, say thank you very much to the smugglers 285 00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:30,880 Speaker 10: and bring the. 286 00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:32,040 Speaker 9: Illegal migrants to the UK. 287 00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:36,640 Speaker 10: Then none of that gets stopped by making every British 288 00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:42,360 Speaker 10: person get digital ID. It's a classic case of an 289 00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:47,640 Speaker 10: inept government that doesn't have many ideas, rehashing and reheating 290 00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:51,360 Speaker 10: an old idea, and I can say with absolute certainty 291 00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:54,600 Speaker 10: it is a distraction. It does nothing to deal with 292 00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:57,160 Speaker 10: illegal migration. And by the way, they're worried about illegal workers. 293 00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:02,400 Speaker 10: They could just send the police or anyone else to 294 00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:07,200 Speaker 10: all of the migrant hotels and vast swathes of the UK. 295 00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:10,600 Speaker 10: Go to the delivery companies and the uber eats companies 296 00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:13,280 Speaker 10: and all the others, and just ask if everyone's got 297 00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:17,840 Speaker 10: any idea at all, digital or otherwise, who's doing deliveries 298 00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:20,560 Speaker 10: for those people. They're very easy to do, but they 299 00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:22,880 Speaker 10: would never do that, of course, much easier to put 300 00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:25,040 Speaker 10: the whole country through this once again. 301 00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:31,359 Speaker 2: Now kiss Starmer and is ideological bedfellow. Australian Prime Minister 302 00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:36,200 Speaker 2: Anthony alber Easy have been railing against populism as represented 303 00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:38,040 Speaker 2: by parties like Reform. 304 00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:41,520 Speaker 11: Have a listen well, I don't want to see the 305 00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:48,560 Speaker 11: rise of populist organizations such as that. I met with 306 00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:56,080 Speaker 11: the mainstream opposition party here and you know, I'm involved 307 00:17:56,160 --> 00:18:02,320 Speaker 11: in parties of governance have to come up with solutions, 308 00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:05,560 Speaker 11: not seek to divide people. 309 00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:08,720 Speaker 2: Oh gosh, it's so inspiring, isn't He puts you to 310 00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:14,960 Speaker 2: Slabor Douglas. These leaders say they are defending democracy itself. 311 00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:18,320 Speaker 2: Is populism a threat to democracy? 312 00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:24,240 Speaker 10: In my observation in recent years, the word populism is 313 00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:30,160 Speaker 10: always used as a synonym effectually for parties that are popular. 314 00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:33,800 Speaker 9: That's it, and populism is. 315 00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:38,960 Speaker 10: Never defined by these very second rate adults we have 316 00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:43,840 Speaker 10: running our countries. In Australia and the UK, they always 317 00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:48,359 Speaker 10: rail against populism, and I think really the problem is 318 00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:51,480 Speaker 10: they have a deep problem with anyone who is popular, 319 00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:56,720 Speaker 10: and that's because they're not, and they always use the 320 00:18:56,800 --> 00:19:03,520 Speaker 10: same playbook. We're not here to divide, we're here to unite. 321 00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:09,480 Speaker 10: We want to go forward into tomorrow, not upwards into 322 00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:11,360 Speaker 10: yester year or something like that. 323 00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:15,480 Speaker 9: Actually, Albanese starmer they're. 324 00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:18,840 Speaker 10: Very very good at dividing, very very good at it, 325 00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:21,040 Speaker 10: and they do it all the time. 326 00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:23,960 Speaker 9: So they're not anti division at all. 327 00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:27,040 Speaker 10: They just want to be able to do their own dividing, 328 00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:31,240 Speaker 10: and part of that is dismissing anyone who they don't 329 00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:34,760 Speaker 10: like as a populist. Well, as I say, I hope 330 00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:38,800 Speaker 10: at some point the voters will make it clear what 331 00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:40,760 Speaker 10: popularity really means. 332 00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:45,600 Speaker 2: Well, let's hear now from the Deputy Prime Minister of 333 00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:49,160 Speaker 2: the UK, David Lammie, who has stepped up his attacks 334 00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:53,560 Speaker 2: against Nigel Farage. He's now claiming that Farage was flirting 335 00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:54,440 Speaker 2: with the Hitler Youth. 336 00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:57,159 Speaker 12: I will leave it for the public to come to 337 00:19:57,200 --> 00:20:00,120 Speaker 12: their own judgments about someone who once flirted. 338 00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:02,480 Speaker 11: With Hitler Youth when he was younger. 339 00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:07,560 Speaker 2: That is for the public, Douglas. I know Lammy's not 340 00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:10,320 Speaker 2: the sharpest tool in the shed, but I'm pretty sure 341 00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:15,000 Speaker 2: Nigel Varaje was born around twenty years after the Hitler 342 00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:18,919 Speaker 2: Youth disbanded. What is he on about there? And what 343 00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:22,640 Speaker 2: about this turning down the temperature and not having this 344 00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:26,800 Speaker 2: retrick that could lead to violence? Have we forgotten that already? 345 00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:28,040 Speaker 8: Oh? 346 00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:30,280 Speaker 10: Of course they've forgotten it that stuff never lasts more 347 00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:33,960 Speaker 10: than a few minutes, if not a few hours. You 348 00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:37,159 Speaker 10: could see on David Lammy's face there as he said it, 349 00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:39,560 Speaker 10: he was trying to work out whether he should go there. 350 00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:43,120 Speaker 10: His eyes flickered for a moment as he was trying 351 00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:45,680 Speaker 10: to work out whether this was the one to wheel out. 352 00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:52,120 Speaker 10: David Lammy as I never stop enjoying reminding people appeared 353 00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:56,600 Speaker 10: on Celebrity Mastermind some years ago and asked in the 354 00:20:56,640 --> 00:21:02,399 Speaker 10: general Knowledge round which king succeeded the eighth answered Henry 355 00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:07,399 Speaker 10: the seventh. Now that being said, it's perfectly possible that 356 00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:12,280 Speaker 10: in David Lammy's mind Nigel Farage as a boy, traveled 357 00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:15,280 Speaker 10: back in time to flirt with joining the Hitler youth. 358 00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:20,800 Speaker 10: And so we must allow David Lammy these brain farts. 359 00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:25,600 Speaker 10: But I mean, yes, again, it's just woeful, isn't it, Reta, 360 00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:30,879 Speaker 10: It's just woeful. We have prime ministers deputy prime ministers 361 00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:31,280 Speaker 10: of just. 362 00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:32,840 Speaker 9: Such a low caliber. 363 00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:37,480 Speaker 10: And they really do think that if they call mainstream 364 00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:39,879 Speaker 10: politicians who they are trying to beat at the ballot 365 00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:43,080 Speaker 10: box and in the polls, they call them Hitler flooding 366 00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:51,000 Speaker 10: with Hitler youth, fascist, Nazi everything else populist. If they 367 00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:52,840 Speaker 10: do all of that, then they can win the argument. 368 00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:56,879 Speaker 10: It's absolutely woeful and they would hate that if it 369 00:21:56,920 --> 00:21:59,960 Speaker 10: was done to them. And I suppose at some point 370 00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:03,960 Speaker 10: people with fewer morals, or indeed the same morals as 371 00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:08,360 Speaker 10: them in these matters as little adherence to truth might 372 00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:12,040 Speaker 10: well play that round at them and wow, how they'll scream. 373 00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:17,639 Speaker 2: Then, you know, absolutely before you go. I don't know 374 00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:21,119 Speaker 2: if you caught this story. The NHS National Health Service 375 00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:25,919 Speaker 2: has come under fire for claiming that first cousin marriage 376 00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:31,959 Speaker 2: is linked to stronger extended family support systems and economic advantages. 377 00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:35,560 Speaker 2: There you go, Doug, Let's never mind the moral issue 378 00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:39,479 Speaker 2: or the very serious birth defects of children born from 379 00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:43,480 Speaker 2: these unions. Apparently there's all sorts of economic advantages. 380 00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:46,639 Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean the idea that the National Health Service, 381 00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:48,879 Speaker 10: which is, by the ways, you know, one of the 382 00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:53,280 Speaker 10: largest employers in the world somewhere around the same figures 383 00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:56,760 Speaker 10: as the Chinese Communist Party's army. The idea that the 384 00:22:56,880 --> 00:23:00,719 Speaker 10: National Health Service, which is so woeful provide giding actual 385 00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:04,800 Speaker 10: healthcare to the British public, would think to be stepping 386 00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:08,840 Speaker 10: into the realm of giving advice on the economics of 387 00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:13,080 Speaker 10: certain marital unions. Actually they should stick with the health stuff, 388 00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:17,439 Speaker 10: which they just don't do very well. The NHS, if 389 00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:21,520 Speaker 10: it was being honest, would admit to the fact that 390 00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:26,760 Speaker 10: the children of cousin marriages are more than twice as 391 00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:32,199 Speaker 10: likely as other children to suffer severe birth defects. 392 00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:35,240 Speaker 9: That is a shocking and. 393 00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:40,280 Speaker 10: Terrible statistic and it's not like it's something we don't 394 00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:44,000 Speaker 10: see in a country like Britain. It's twenty years now 395 00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:48,120 Speaker 10: since the Labor mpn Crier said that in her constituency 396 00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:51,080 Speaker 10: in the North of England, the hospitals had a serious 397 00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:55,560 Speaker 10: problem with the children of cousin marriages of people from 398 00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:59,640 Speaker 10: Pakistan and Bangladesh in particular coming to the UK having 399 00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:02,280 Speaker 10: children with severe birth defects. On that this was putting 400 00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:05,360 Speaker 10: strains on the National Health Service. Of course, then as 401 00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:09,080 Speaker 10: now everybody decides to shoot the messenger and lots of 402 00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:10,080 Speaker 10: people said a cryer. 403 00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:11,120 Speaker 9: The Labor MP was. 404 00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:14,240 Speaker 10: Racist for raising this issue about the welfare of children 405 00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:15,480 Speaker 10: and the standing. 406 00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:15,920 Speaker 9: Of the NHS. 407 00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:19,960 Speaker 10: But you know, this is a classic example of something 408 00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:23,399 Speaker 10: everyone can now notice, which is that entities like the 409 00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:31,359 Speaker 10: NHS effectively try to retrofit their own purpose in order 410 00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:35,959 Speaker 10: to fit in with the diverse, multicultural society, the NHS 411 00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:38,919 Speaker 10: must know that if it put out guidance saying please 412 00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:43,520 Speaker 10: don't marry your first cousin from merepoor, even if your 413 00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:46,200 Speaker 10: dad says you're going to get a great wedding dowry, 414 00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:50,919 Speaker 10: don't do it because you're very likely to have a 415 00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:56,040 Speaker 10: child with unbelievably problematic health issues from birth. That would 416 00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:58,840 Speaker 10: be a really good thing to do. But of course, yeah, 417 00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:01,240 Speaker 10: that might get the need to gets into trouble because 418 00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:01,800 Speaker 10: after all. 419 00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:02,359 Speaker 9: It would be true. 420 00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:05,480 Speaker 10: And I mean, what right do they have to tread 421 00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:09,159 Speaker 10: into this domain. It's such an indictment not just of 422 00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:12,359 Speaker 10: the NHS and its leadership, but of a society in 423 00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:16,080 Speaker 10: which stories like this come out now almost on a 424 00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:17,119 Speaker 10: daily basis. 425 00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:22,399 Speaker 2: It just shows you how corrupted that bureaucracy is with 426 00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:27,240 Speaker 2: this poisonous thinking. It really is crazy. But I just 427 00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:32,159 Speaker 2: want to point out to the viewers that President Trump 428 00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:35,280 Speaker 2: has again praised your work at Douglas. I noticed this 429 00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:39,159 Speaker 2: all over X and social media side. President Trump is 430 00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:43,560 Speaker 2: saying to go out and purchase this book, impactful book 431 00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:48,320 Speaker 2: on democracies and death cults. It's quite a good endorsement there, Douglas, 432 00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:52,359 Speaker 2: the leader of the Free world, encouraging people to read 433 00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:53,280 Speaker 2: your latest work. 434 00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:57,640 Speaker 10: Yes, I was very pleased to see that the President 435 00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:02,400 Speaker 10: issued that truth over the weekend as he was preparing 436 00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:05,880 Speaker 10: for the meetings on the peace deal that's being put 437 00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:09,240 Speaker 10: forward in the Middle East. So I was very pleased 438 00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:11,879 Speaker 10: that my recent book was at the forefront of his 439 00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:14,240 Speaker 10: mind on that, or anywhere in his mind on that. 440 00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:17,000 Speaker 10: I think I was very flattered that that would be 441 00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:20,080 Speaker 10: the case.

Watch. 513 00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:36,600 Speaker 13: This administration has done a great deal from day one 514 00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:42,040 Speaker 13: to remove the social justice, politically correct, and toxic ideological 515 00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:45,640 Speaker 13: garbage that had infected our department. We are done with that. 516 00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:48,840 Speaker 13: It's tiring to look out at combat formations, or really 517 00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:54,440 Speaker 13: any formation and see fat troops. Likewise, it's completely unacceptable 518 00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:56,520 Speaker 13: to see fat generals and admirals in the wholes of 519 00:30:56,520 --> 00:30:57,080 Speaker 13: the Pentagon. 520 00:31:01,120 --> 00:31:02,640 Speaker 3: Why is he obsessed with fat? 521 00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:04,959 Speaker 15: Yeah and fitness? 522 00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:08,040 Speaker 2: Gosh, I don't know, Joy, Why is the Secretary of 523 00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:12,160 Speaker 2: War obsessed about fitness? Do you really think fat obese 524 00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:17,400 Speaker 2: troops are ideal? And Joy's looking for some conspiracy behind 525 00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:20,840 Speaker 2: this bizarro push for standards, as she sees it. 526 00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:23,640 Speaker 3: So why do you think they're doing this? There's always 527 00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:26,080 Speaker 3: an ulterior motive. Well, that's the major. 528 00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:27,600 Speaker 6: Question, and if it has anything to do with the 529 00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:29,760 Speaker 6: recruiting law, they probably just meet it worse. 530 00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:35,200 Speaker 2: That was the dangerously misinformed Sarah Hayines claiming there is 531 00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:39,720 Speaker 2: a recruiting issue. There was a massive recruiting issue under 532 00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:43,120 Speaker 2: the Biden administration. As soon as Donald Trump was re 533 00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:48,080 Speaker 2: elected in November, recruitment numbers saw to record highs. We 534 00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:50,960 Speaker 2: really should have more of Sarah Haynes on lefties losing 535 00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:53,560 Speaker 2: it because she's as awful as the others on the view. 536 00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:57,200 Speaker 2: But she's a little bit boring, isn't she? While Sonny Houston, 537 00:31:57,280 --> 00:32:01,840 Speaker 2: for example, is awful, but we'd compelling here. She is 538 00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:04,080 Speaker 2: being befuddled fun. 539 00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:08,280 Speaker 15: I'm actually really refuddled by why he did that. 540 00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:09,760 Speaker 2: The optics were terrible. 541 00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:15,160 Speaker 15: Return to the highest male standard for combat positions because 542 00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:19,960 Speaker 15: the troops were fat. I don't understand how that was 543 00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:21,680 Speaker 15: supposed to be an uplifting. 544 00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:25,360 Speaker 2: Message for our military. You know, her complete ignorance is 545 00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:28,400 Speaker 2: part of her charm. Really, she doesn't get it. She 546 00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:32,880 Speaker 2: thinks having standards is demoralizing. I guess it would be 547 00:32:33,080 --> 00:32:35,360 Speaker 2: for the view because all the hosts would be sacked 548 00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:38,280 Speaker 2: if there were any standards, which would be devastating for 549 00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:41,520 Speaker 2: this segment. Where else can I get such a ready 550 00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:46,320 Speaker 2: supply of weapon grade crazy? Here is Joy Behar again. 551 00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:50,320 Speaker 2: This time she's claiming America won't survive three more years 552 00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:50,800 Speaker 2: of Trump. 553 00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:54,040 Speaker 3: Every day It's every day is a shock and owe 554 00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:58,320 Speaker 3: here and I for one skeptical that we will survive this. 555 00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:01,960 Speaker 2: Joinning me now is Usweek's senior as were at large 556 00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:06,080 Speaker 2: and Article three projects in your council, Josh Hammer, Josh, 557 00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:09,840 Speaker 2: the ladies of the view are outraged by the notion 558 00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:14,200 Speaker 2: that military personnel should be fit for service. When will 559 00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:18,360 Speaker 2: the left understand that meritocracy is back and all the 560 00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:23,080 Speaker 2: DEI madness and political posturing that really has no place 561 00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:26,160 Speaker 2: in the armed forces? That is ash, That is something 562 00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:28,200 Speaker 2: Pete Hegseett was very clear about. 563 00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:31,320 Speaker 13: This administration has done a great deal from day one 564 00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:36,760 Speaker 13: to remove the social justice, politically correct, and toxic ideological 565 00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:42,440 Speaker 13: garbage that had infected our department. To rip out the politics. 566 00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:51,080 Speaker 13: No more identity months, DEI officers, dudes in dresses, no 567 00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:55,719 Speaker 13: more climate change worship, no more division distraction or gender delusions, 568 00:33:56,040 --> 00:34:00,760 Speaker 13: no more debris. As I've said before and will say again, 569 00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:02,760 Speaker 13: we are done with. 570 00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:07,240 Speaker 2: That, Josh, that was pretty emphatic. What did you make 571 00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:07,959 Speaker 2: of that speech? 572 00:34:10,200 --> 00:34:12,640 Speaker 16: That's what I voted for, Rita. That that is literally 573 00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:15,400 Speaker 16: exactly what I voted for. In fact, I was a 574 00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:18,080 Speaker 16: very early supporter of Pete heg Sets to be Secretary 575 00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:20,520 Speaker 16: of Defense. I wrote numerous articles of the Daily Mail 576 00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:22,759 Speaker 16: and elsewhere supporting his confirmation. 577 00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:24,200 Speaker 1: That was a tough confirmation fight. 578 00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:26,040 Speaker 16: Actually, it was very difficult to try to get Joni 579 00:34:26,160 --> 00:34:29,000 Speaker 16: Arth by one board. So I was personally all hands 580 00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:31,880 Speaker 16: on deck there. And this is exactly what I anticipated, 581 00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:34,000 Speaker 16: is exactly what I wanted, because Pete Hegset is a 582 00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:37,080 Speaker 16: kind of guy. Rita who served his country honorably in 583 00:34:37,160 --> 00:34:40,560 Speaker 16: multiple overseas theaters. He is of a younger generation. He 584 00:34:40,719 --> 00:34:44,000 Speaker 16: knows all the problems. He can directly relate to the problems, 585 00:34:44,040 --> 00:34:48,040 Speaker 16: the woke adult nature of the United States military under 586 00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:50,279 Speaker 16: Presidents Barack Obama and Joe Biden. He can relate to 587 00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:52,560 Speaker 16: it because he lived it, because he has seen it 588 00:34:52,640 --> 00:34:54,359 Speaker 16: with his own eyes in a way that a lot 589 00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:57,719 Speaker 16: of these stodgy, old fat generals that he's referring to 590 00:34:57,920 --> 00:35:01,120 Speaker 16: have not necessarily been able to relate. But really, Rita, 591 00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:03,640 Speaker 16: what heg Seth is trying to do. It's really not 592 00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:06,360 Speaker 16: that radical. It's actually something of a throwback to a 593 00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:08,680 Speaker 16: bygone era from as recently as, oh, I don't know, 594 00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:11,200 Speaker 16: like twenty twenty five years ago at the most. 595 00:35:11,320 --> 00:35:12,279 Speaker 1: I mean, once upon a Hahn. 596 00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:15,800 Speaker 16: The United States military was unanimously feared across the world 597 00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:19,280 Speaker 16: all throughout the world as the most lethal fighting force 598 00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:22,239 Speaker 16: in the modern history of mankinds, maybe really in all 599 00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:23,719 Speaker 16: mankind at least going back to the days of the 600 00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:26,800 Speaker 16: Roman Empire two thousand years ago. But what made the 601 00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:30,200 Speaker 16: units is military great? What led the US military to 602 00:35:30,320 --> 00:35:32,799 Speaker 16: storm the beaches of Normandy and to take the high 603 00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:36,200 Speaker 16: ground on the cliffs of France against the Nazi invaders. 604 00:35:36,200 --> 00:35:39,120 Speaker 16: There those men who did that rita, they were not 605 00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:41,640 Speaker 16: there because they thought it was good to be fat. 606 00:35:41,880 --> 00:35:43,680 Speaker 16: They were not there because they thought it was good 607 00:35:43,719 --> 00:35:45,800 Speaker 16: to be a man who would put on a female 608 00:35:45,840 --> 00:35:48,000 Speaker 16: wig or chop off their body part from the name 609 00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:50,719 Speaker 16: of so called diversity, equity inclusion. They were not there 610 00:35:51,160 --> 00:35:54,640 Speaker 16: because they had some sort of body positivity or because 611 00:35:54,680 --> 00:35:56,439 Speaker 16: they were gay at trying that enough. They were there 612 00:35:56,480 --> 00:36:00,319 Speaker 16: because they were men, typically just men who were only 613 00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:03,480 Speaker 16: really really good at hunting down and killing the enemy 614 00:36:03,520 --> 00:36:05,840 Speaker 16: in the most effective and efficient way possible. That is 615 00:36:05,880 --> 00:36:08,600 Speaker 16: the military that I strive for as the military that 616 00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:11,239 Speaker 16: Pete hex have envisions and God willing Regia. That is 617 00:36:11,280 --> 00:36:13,799 Speaker 16: the military under his leadership and President Donald J. Trump 618 00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:15,240 Speaker 16: that we're going to get back here asap. 619 00:36:17,719 --> 00:36:21,240 Speaker 2: And the Secretary of War was clear Josh that women 620 00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:24,920 Speaker 2: are welcome to serve in any capacity, but they have 621 00:36:25,040 --> 00:36:27,840 Speaker 2: to get there on merit standards. Aren't going to be 622 00:36:27,960 --> 00:36:32,200 Speaker 2: lowered physical standards to meet any sort of quota system. 623 00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:37,160 Speaker 13: Our female officers and NCOs are the absolute best in 624 00:36:37,200 --> 00:36:41,239 Speaker 13: the world. But when it comes to any job that 625 00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:45,440 Speaker 13: requires physical power to perform in combat, those physical standards 626 00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:47,440 Speaker 13: must be high and gender neutral. 627 00:36:48,480 --> 00:36:52,440 Speaker 1: If women can make it excellent. If not, it is 628 00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:53,000 Speaker 1: what it is. 629 00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:56,680 Speaker 13: If that means no women qualify for some combat jobs, 630 00:36:56,880 --> 00:37:00,840 Speaker 13: so be it. That is not the intent, but it 631 00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:04,919 Speaker 13: could be the result, so be it. It will also 632 00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:07,720 Speaker 13: men that we mean that weak men won't qualify because 633 00:37:07,760 --> 00:37:08,680 Speaker 13: we're not playing games. 634 00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:10,080 Speaker 1: This is combat. 635 00:37:10,520 --> 00:37:11,480 Speaker 9: This is life or death. 636 00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:16,240 Speaker 2: Josh. That's going to outrage all the usual suspects, because 637 00:37:16,360 --> 00:37:20,279 Speaker 2: I believe that diversity is our strength, even in the military, 638 00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:25,000 Speaker 2: even if that diversity is achieved through lowering standards to 639 00:37:25,080 --> 00:37:28,080 Speaker 2: make certain gender or other quotas. 640 00:37:28,360 --> 00:37:31,960 Speaker 16: I find this leftist notion so utterly unrelatable that I 641 00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:35,680 Speaker 16: can barely contort my head to wrap myself around the mentality. 642 00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:38,960 Speaker 16: Who actually thinks that the military should be there to 643 00:37:39,040 --> 00:37:43,840 Speaker 16: promote diversity. Diversity of sex is, diversity of sexual orientations, 644 00:37:43,920 --> 00:37:47,520 Speaker 16: di diversity of gender identities, diversity of literally anything. No, 645 00:37:47,880 --> 00:37:51,360 Speaker 16: the US military is not supposed to be diverse for 646 00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:52,680 Speaker 16: the sake of diversity, and. 647 00:37:52,719 --> 00:37:54,000 Speaker 1: It happens to be diverse. 648 00:37:54,080 --> 00:37:56,880 Speaker 16: It happens to be, you know, a nice mix of 649 00:37:56,960 --> 00:37:59,719 Speaker 16: black people and white people and Hispanic people and agents whatever. 650 00:37:59,719 --> 00:38:03,400 Speaker 16: They're great, fantastic there. But there's absolutely no compelling reason 651 00:38:03,520 --> 00:38:07,040 Speaker 16: why we haven't necessarily pick and socially craft the military 652 00:38:07,080 --> 00:38:09,120 Speaker 16: to do anything other than what we were just talking about, 653 00:38:09,120 --> 00:38:11,400 Speaker 16: which is to hunt down and kill the enemy in 654 00:38:11,440 --> 00:38:14,319 Speaker 16: the most effective and efficient way possible. By the way, 655 00:38:14,719 --> 00:38:18,080 Speaker 16: this whole notion of trying to socially engineer the military 656 00:38:18,080 --> 00:38:22,719 Speaker 16: to fit these postmodern, bizarre, oak neo Marxist standards has 657 00:38:22,760 --> 00:38:26,600 Speaker 16: also had a debilitating effect on American morales. We actually 658 00:38:26,600 --> 00:38:31,200 Speaker 16: look at the morale of young soldiers, marines, infantry men, sailors, 659 00:38:31,239 --> 00:38:33,480 Speaker 16: and so forth who sign up for the military. There, 660 00:38:33,560 --> 00:38:36,120 Speaker 16: the morales actually, at least prior to this administration, was 661 00:38:36,160 --> 00:38:38,440 Speaker 16: pulling in really really low. And the US military is 662 00:38:38,440 --> 00:38:42,320 Speaker 16: also missing its recruitment targets oftentimes by double digit percentage, 663 00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:44,399 Speaker 16: by a very high margin, year in and year out. 664 00:38:44,719 --> 00:38:48,759 Speaker 16: So this is really rapidly heading towards a near existential 665 00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:52,480 Speaker 16: crisis there. America needs a strong military. We need volunteers. 666 00:38:52,480 --> 00:38:54,799 Speaker 16: There's no conscription here, there's no draft there. If we're 667 00:38:54,840 --> 00:38:58,160 Speaker 16: going to stand up against communist China, which is getting 668 00:38:58,160 --> 00:39:00,760 Speaker 16: ever closer potentially to invading in Taiwan, on god forbid 669 00:39:00,760 --> 00:39:02,799 Speaker 16: the Philippines, who knows. If we're going to stand up 670 00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:05,080 Speaker 16: against all our enemies, we need a strong military. Again, 671 00:39:05,120 --> 00:39:07,040 Speaker 16: Pete Haig said, gets that with every fiber as being, 672 00:39:07,040 --> 00:39:09,520 Speaker 16: he's not going to cut anyone some slacks because they 673 00:39:09,560 --> 00:39:12,640 Speaker 16: happen to have a certain type of genitalia. You are 674 00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:14,719 Speaker 16: a certain to like sleeping with a certain type of 675 00:39:14,719 --> 00:39:17,319 Speaker 16: person who's their same sex. Now those days are done, 676 00:39:17,360 --> 00:39:19,920 Speaker 16: They're done, done done. I voted for this, reader of 677 00:39:19,920 --> 00:39:21,239 Speaker 16: the American peop voter for this. This is the way 678 00:39:21,280 --> 00:39:22,000 Speaker 16: it's going to be. 679 00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:24,160 Speaker 15: Now. 680 00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:27,600 Speaker 2: President Trump also addressed military leaders and he had this 681 00:39:27,719 --> 00:39:31,360 Speaker 2: to say about using the military to take on drug cartails. 682 00:39:31,640 --> 00:39:34,480 Speaker 17: There, our leadership, the military is now the knife's edge 683 00:39:34,520 --> 00:39:38,400 Speaker 17: and combating the sinister enemy. We have to put the 684 00:39:38,560 --> 00:39:41,839 Speaker 17: traffickers in cartels unnoticed, and we've done that. Try to 685 00:39:41,840 --> 00:39:46,200 Speaker 17: poison our people, we will blow you out of existence, 686 00:39:46,719 --> 00:39:49,480 Speaker 17: because that's the only language they really understand. 687 00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:54,080 Speaker 2: Josh. He has been blowing up those boats there, the traffickers, 688 00:39:54,400 --> 00:39:58,480 Speaker 2: some incredible footage of that. And he also wants to 689 00:39:58,560 --> 00:40:01,480 Speaker 2: use the military to take on the law and order 690 00:40:01,560 --> 00:40:06,680 Speaker 2: crisis in America's biggest cities. What do you make of 691 00:40:06,719 --> 00:40:10,520 Speaker 2: that plan. He's mentioned cities like Chicago and he's talked 692 00:40:10,560 --> 00:40:14,880 Speaker 2: about Portland. Could he utilize the military to do what 693 00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:16,000 Speaker 2: he achieved in DC? 694 00:40:17,840 --> 00:40:17,960 Speaker 17: Uh? 695 00:40:18,040 --> 00:40:18,560 Speaker 1: Yes and no. 696 00:40:19,400 --> 00:40:22,480 Speaker 16: The literal armed troops, like the actual men who sign 697 00:40:22,560 --> 00:40:24,600 Speaker 16: up for the US Army and US Navy, cannot be 698 00:40:24,680 --> 00:40:27,000 Speaker 16: used in dease to day law enforcement practices. 699 00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:27,280 Speaker 12: There. 700 00:40:27,480 --> 00:40:29,920 Speaker 16: There's a statue from the late eighteen hundreds called the 701 00:40:29,960 --> 00:40:33,839 Speaker 16: Passi Commentatus Act that supposedly prohibits that. Having said that, 702 00:40:34,280 --> 00:40:37,160 Speaker 16: there are other statutes, including the Insurrection Act which goes 703 00:40:37,200 --> 00:40:39,920 Speaker 16: back even further back to the Thomas Jefferson presidency around 704 00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:41,960 Speaker 16: eighteen oh seven or so. The Insurrection Act does give 705 00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:44,840 Speaker 16: the president the ability to send in the National Guard 706 00:40:44,880 --> 00:40:47,560 Speaker 16: to try to restore order again. You know, when certain 707 00:40:47,600 --> 00:40:49,480 Speaker 16: conditions are med. You can't just snap your fingers and 708 00:40:49,520 --> 00:40:51,600 Speaker 16: send it in there. But if you, if you earnestly 709 00:40:51,640 --> 00:40:55,000 Speaker 16: determine that there is a state of anarchy, the law 710 00:40:55,040 --> 00:40:56,960 Speaker 16: and order is not being restored, then there are various 711 00:40:56,960 --> 00:40:59,600 Speaker 16: conditions on which the National Guard can be sent in. 712 00:40:59,640 --> 00:41:03,080 Speaker 16: This is what center Tom Cotton of Arkansas, Rita. Lets 713 00:41:03,080 --> 00:41:05,520 Speaker 16: you forget. That is what Tom Cotton was talking about 714 00:41:05,560 --> 00:41:07,960 Speaker 16: in the infamous June twenty twenty op ed at the 715 00:41:07,960 --> 00:41:10,880 Speaker 16: New York Times that led to the whole staff talk 716 00:41:10,920 --> 00:41:13,680 Speaker 16: out there led to Barry Weis's resignation. That's literally what 717 00:41:13,680 --> 00:41:15,400 Speaker 16: Tom Condon was talking about his oup that was titled 718 00:41:15,440 --> 00:41:17,520 Speaker 16: send in the Troops. He was talking about the insurrection, 719 00:41:17,600 --> 00:41:20,360 Speaker 16: not the National Guard. So that's what Donald Trump is 720 00:41:20,400 --> 00:41:22,760 Speaker 16: talking about. He is, indeed, I think, on very firm 721 00:41:22,880 --> 00:41:26,400 Speaker 16: legal ground, again depending on just how bad the city 722 00:41:26,400 --> 00:41:28,200 Speaker 16: in question is. But let me tell you, I mean 723 00:41:28,239 --> 00:41:30,600 Speaker 16: having lived in Chicago, having lived in other blue cities 724 00:41:30,640 --> 00:41:33,440 Speaker 16: as well, it's oftentimes really really bad. Now, I think 725 00:41:33,440 --> 00:41:35,720 Speaker 16: that Trump he's been talking a lot about Memphis, Tennessee. 726 00:41:35,800 --> 00:41:39,360 Speaker 16: There have been some National Guard guardsmen already deployed to Memphis, Tennessee. 727 00:41:39,560 --> 00:41:41,960 Speaker 16: I think Memphis is actually a great example as to 728 00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:44,759 Speaker 16: what this should look like in practice, because when you're 729 00:41:44,760 --> 00:41:46,880 Speaker 16: trying to coordinate with the local authorities there with the 730 00:41:46,960 --> 00:41:49,920 Speaker 16: National Guard, you first and foremost coordinate with the governor 731 00:41:49,960 --> 00:41:51,520 Speaker 16: of the state, much more so than the mayor. So 732 00:41:51,560 --> 00:41:53,400 Speaker 16: I think I think the sweet spot here Rita should 733 00:41:53,400 --> 00:41:56,960 Speaker 16: be red cities in excuse me, blue cities in red states. 734 00:41:56,960 --> 00:41:59,920 Speaker 16: So that makes Memphis, Tennessee a very enticing option off 735 00:42:00,160 --> 00:42:02,759 Speaker 16: In Texas, I think would be another very incasing option there. 736 00:42:02,840 --> 00:42:06,959 Speaker 16: But you want, ideally a governor who was very sympathetic there, 737 00:42:07,160 --> 00:42:08,840 Speaker 16: and I think it would be kind of easy pickings 738 00:42:08,840 --> 00:42:10,520 Speaker 16: to go for a blue city deep in the bowels 739 00:42:10,520 --> 00:42:11,680 Speaker 16: of red state if he wants to take on a 740 00:42:11,760 --> 00:42:14,880 Speaker 16: challenge of really going forward in a San Francisco with 741 00:42:14,960 --> 00:42:17,160 Speaker 16: the Gaven newsum, I mean, I say bringing on. I 742 00:42:17,160 --> 00:42:18,680 Speaker 16: mean that would be a fun fight for sure, but 743 00:42:18,960 --> 00:42:20,960 Speaker 16: I think it would be an easier bang for your bucket. 744 00:42:20,960 --> 00:42:23,759 Speaker 16: You'd have to expend less political capital, that is to say, 745 00:42:23,840 --> 00:42:25,760 Speaker 16: but going for a blue city in a red state. 746 00:42:25,920 --> 00:42:29,080 Speaker 2: Josh, that's an excellent point, because those blue cities, the 747 00:42:29,120 --> 00:42:32,839 Speaker 2: big cities, are almost all Democrat, even if they are 748 00:42:32,880 --> 00:42:36,960 Speaker 2: in Republican states. Austin is a prime example. Doesn't even 749 00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:40,560 Speaker 2: feel like Texas anymore. Would be fantastic to make Austin 750 00:42:40,719 --> 00:42:44,160 Speaker 2: Texan again. Now, don't go anywhere. After the break, we're 751 00:42:44,160 --> 00:42:46,640 Speaker 2: going to talk about the left turning on each other. 752 00:42:46,880 --> 00:43:01,960 Speaker 2: BLM is taking on a George Soros back foundation. Welcome back, 753 00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:05,640 Speaker 2: Come here with Josh Hammer. Josh, the left is turning 754 00:43:05,680 --> 00:43:10,440 Speaker 2: on each other with BLM suing a George Soros backed organization. 755 00:43:10,680 --> 00:43:13,879 Speaker 2: The New York Post reports the National Black Lives Matter 756 00:43:13,920 --> 00:43:17,360 Speaker 2: Movement claims thirty three point four million is being withheld 757 00:43:17,400 --> 00:43:20,920 Speaker 2: by the TIDES Foundation, back by George Soros bil and 758 00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:27,000 Speaker 2: accuses the foundation of deceptive business practices and egregious mismanagement 759 00:43:27,160 --> 00:43:30,360 Speaker 2: of its money. And this week they asked the California 760 00:43:30,360 --> 00:43:35,840 Speaker 2: Attorney General to investigate TIDES after filing a lawsuit last year. Josh, 761 00:43:35,880 --> 00:43:36,399 Speaker 2: where did it. 762 00:43:36,360 --> 00:43:37,360 Speaker 4: All go so wrong? 763 00:43:37,760 --> 00:43:39,880 Speaker 16: Well, you know, reader, they always say the revolution always 764 00:43:39,920 --> 00:43:41,759 Speaker 16: eats its own right. I mean, this is kind of 765 00:43:41,840 --> 00:43:44,480 Speaker 16: leftism one, really. I mean, I mean we see this 766 00:43:44,600 --> 00:43:47,480 Speaker 16: time and time again, how the various horts of this 767 00:43:47,640 --> 00:43:53,520 Speaker 16: leftist coalition, this intersectional coalition of aggrieved interests, I mean 768 00:43:53,719 --> 00:43:56,839 Speaker 16: they oftentimes not all those they pretty much always will 769 00:43:56,880 --> 00:43:59,600 Speaker 16: ultimately end up warring against each other. I mean, you know, 770 00:43:59,680 --> 00:44:01,920 Speaker 16: let's let's kind of take a similar example to kind 771 00:44:01,920 --> 00:44:04,000 Speaker 16: of paint this image a little more starkly there. I mean, 772 00:44:04,000 --> 00:44:06,720 Speaker 16: how about you had first the fight for same sex marriage, 773 00:44:06,719 --> 00:44:08,920 Speaker 16: gay rights, et cetera, and then you had the transgender 774 00:44:08,960 --> 00:44:11,920 Speaker 16: fight there. Well, one of the big premises of the 775 00:44:12,040 --> 00:44:15,279 Speaker 16: arguments for enhanced gay rights saints as marriagetctera in the US, 776 00:44:15,760 --> 00:44:18,560 Speaker 16: was that gay people are born this way. Right, That 777 00:44:18,600 --> 00:44:20,040 Speaker 16: was that was one of the big arguments. I mean, 778 00:44:20,120 --> 00:44:22,480 Speaker 16: Lady Gaga had had that had that song back in 779 00:44:22,480 --> 00:44:24,279 Speaker 16: twenty ten, twenty eleven, Born this way, that was a 780 00:44:24,320 --> 00:44:26,600 Speaker 16: big part of their movement. Well then you kind of 781 00:44:26,600 --> 00:44:29,239 Speaker 16: flip the screws. Then the transgender stuff comes wrong, and 782 00:44:29,280 --> 00:44:31,960 Speaker 16: it's like, oh wait, yeah, maybe you were literally born 783 00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:34,399 Speaker 16: this way, but no, subjectively you actually were not born 784 00:44:34,400 --> 00:44:34,719 Speaker 16: this way. 785 00:44:34,760 --> 00:44:36,960 Speaker 1: So I mean it literally doesn't make sense. 786 00:44:37,160 --> 00:44:38,920 Speaker 16: I mean, we see this kind of with Linda Sarsara 787 00:44:38,960 --> 00:44:40,359 Speaker 16: back when she was the head of the Women's March 788 00:44:40,360 --> 00:44:41,839 Speaker 16: as well, right, And this is someone who is who 789 00:44:41,880 --> 00:44:45,319 Speaker 16: is a Sharia loss sighting Muslim purporting to lead a 790 00:44:45,440 --> 00:44:47,680 Speaker 16: feminist march. I mean, are you kidding me? I mean, 791 00:44:47,680 --> 00:44:49,719 Speaker 16: how do you possibly square that circle? So, I mean, 792 00:44:49,760 --> 00:44:51,640 Speaker 16: here a Black Lives Matter and the Tide for Nation. 793 00:44:51,719 --> 00:44:54,279 Speaker 16: The Tide Foundation is of course the number number one 794 00:44:54,719 --> 00:44:58,040 Speaker 16: most most prominent left wing dark money organization in all 795 00:44:58,040 --> 00:45:00,400 Speaker 16: of the United States. So I mean this is another example, 796 00:45:00,440 --> 00:45:02,280 Speaker 16: of course, of the left eating its own and frankly, 797 00:45:02,480 --> 00:45:04,759 Speaker 16: as someone myself here, to me, this kind of looks 798 00:45:04,760 --> 00:45:05,759 Speaker 16: like the Iran Iraq war. 799 00:45:05,800 --> 00:45:07,440 Speaker 1: I pretty much just root for casualties. 800 00:45:10,400 --> 00:45:15,400 Speaker 2: Now, Donald Trump has another win, this time against Google 801 00:45:15,520 --> 00:45:18,759 Speaker 2: or YouTube to be precise, owned by Google. He's had 802 00:45:18,760 --> 00:45:23,680 Speaker 2: a number of these wins, Josh against ABC, CBS, has 803 00:45:23,719 --> 00:45:30,120 Speaker 2: had big wins against meta, Facebook and Twitter. And you 804 00:45:30,200 --> 00:45:34,120 Speaker 2: look at these legal wins and it's hard not to 805 00:45:34,200 --> 00:45:37,839 Speaker 2: think that there was a conspiracy of fun, a conspiracy 806 00:45:37,880 --> 00:45:43,440 Speaker 2: amongst these media outlets, those social media giants to effectively 807 00:45:44,080 --> 00:45:48,520 Speaker 2: deplatform the leading political candidate, that leading challenger to the 808 00:45:48,560 --> 00:45:50,800 Speaker 2: Democrats and to prevent his re election. 809 00:45:53,120 --> 00:45:55,680 Speaker 16: Reader, I mean, how anyone can possibly, you know, not 810 00:45:55,800 --> 00:45:57,319 Speaker 16: think that at this point strikes me. 811 00:45:58,200 --> 00:45:58,880 Speaker 1: It's crazy. 812 00:45:59,040 --> 00:46:01,799 Speaker 16: I mean, they pulled out all the stunts imaginable in 813 00:46:01,880 --> 00:46:04,239 Speaker 16: twenty twenty. In twenty twenty four, a lot of them 814 00:46:04,280 --> 00:46:07,520 Speaker 16: tried the exact same things again, and they've been on 815 00:46:07,520 --> 00:46:10,440 Speaker 16: this extended Maya Kulpla campaign. I mean, let's not forget 816 00:46:10,480 --> 00:46:13,960 Speaker 16: that this past January twentieth, on Inauguration Day in Washington, 817 00:46:14,000 --> 00:46:17,040 Speaker 16: d C. You had pretty much all the big tech oligarchs. 818 00:46:16,520 --> 00:46:17,040 Speaker 1: That attended this. 819 00:46:17,160 --> 00:46:19,719 Speaker 16: There was Jeff Bezos, there was Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk 820 00:46:19,760 --> 00:46:23,640 Speaker 16: obviously was there. Gool was in the House. So they've 821 00:46:23,640 --> 00:46:27,400 Speaker 16: been on this extended attempt to try to appease the 822 00:46:27,440 --> 00:46:30,720 Speaker 16: Trump administration. There now, for what it's worth, I remained 823 00:46:30,719 --> 00:46:34,719 Speaker 16: skeptical that all these companies have necessarily seen the lights, 824 00:46:34,719 --> 00:46:36,840 Speaker 16: so to speak. Mark Zuckerberg has been on hitting this 825 00:46:36,960 --> 00:46:39,360 Speaker 16: beat for at least a year now when he reports 826 00:46:39,400 --> 00:46:43,000 Speaker 16: open up meta and facebooks to free speech, and Google 827 00:46:43,160 --> 00:46:45,080 Speaker 16: just recently conceding for the first time that yes, I 828 00:46:45,160 --> 00:46:49,000 Speaker 16: actually did censor and deep platform consertive voices there. So look, 829 00:46:49,200 --> 00:46:50,920 Speaker 16: I think some of that are just trying to avoid 830 00:46:51,040 --> 00:46:54,239 Speaker 16: some sort of retribution there, and that's probably where these 831 00:46:54,280 --> 00:46:56,560 Speaker 16: settlements come in as well. But I guess I would 832 00:46:56,640 --> 00:46:59,720 Speaker 16: encourage Philip my fellow conservatives to not be so easily 833 00:47:00,400 --> 00:47:02,160 Speaker 16: I mean, don't be so easily duped here. The mere 834 00:47:02,200 --> 00:47:04,640 Speaker 16: fact that they that they are coming to the negotiating table, 835 00:47:04,640 --> 00:47:07,399 Speaker 16: whether it is defamation lawsuits, whether it is conceding that yeah, 836 00:47:07,400 --> 00:47:09,880 Speaker 16: they actually did really censor in deep platform here, that 837 00:47:10,239 --> 00:47:13,200 Speaker 16: doesn't mean that these c suite left wing Silicon Valley 838 00:47:13,239 --> 00:47:15,760 Speaker 16: Birkenstock wearing freaky ceo. It doesn't mean that they actually 839 00:47:15,800 --> 00:47:18,480 Speaker 16: have had a genuine change of hearts and that they 840 00:47:18,480 --> 00:47:22,440 Speaker 16: are suddenly joining team civilizational sanity against the forces of 841 00:47:22,440 --> 00:47:25,080 Speaker 16: civilization Artison. I personally don't buy it for a second. 842 00:47:25,160 --> 00:47:27,640 Speaker 16: So you know, I mean trust, but verify, they say, 843 00:47:27,680 --> 00:47:30,400 Speaker 16: in this case, I don't particularly trust, but I'm definitely verifying. 844 00:47:32,600 --> 00:47:36,000 Speaker 2: Just quickly before you go, We've had Hillary Clinton make 845 00:47:36,040 --> 00:47:40,160 Speaker 2: another appearance in the mainstream media decrying the influence of 846 00:47:40,920 --> 00:47:46,400 Speaker 2: white Christian men. How have you seen her interjection in 847 00:47:46,480 --> 00:47:49,840 Speaker 2: the political discourse and how useful is it to be 848 00:47:50,480 --> 00:47:53,359 Speaker 2: again trying to demonize white Christian men. 849 00:47:55,120 --> 00:47:57,239 Speaker 16: Well, that's what the Democrats do these days, right, I mean, 850 00:47:57,280 --> 00:48:00,399 Speaker 16: they demonize anyone who does not fit their particular or 851 00:48:00,800 --> 00:48:04,360 Speaker 16: interceptional conception of what it means to be a good American. 852 00:48:04,440 --> 00:48:07,120 Speaker 16: And you know, white Christian man, white straight Christian men, 853 00:48:07,160 --> 00:48:08,360 Speaker 16: I guess, are really kind of at the top of 854 00:48:08,360 --> 00:48:13,000 Speaker 16: the list of someone who checked pretty much zero interceptional 855 00:48:13,040 --> 00:48:15,120 Speaker 16: boxes that they are literally at the bottom of the 856 00:48:15,120 --> 00:48:17,359 Speaker 16: totem poll when it comes to the left. I mean, 857 00:48:17,800 --> 00:48:20,200 Speaker 16: I think a relevant question is what the heck is 858 00:48:20,200 --> 00:48:22,880 Speaker 16: is Hillary Clinton doing? I mean, like literally what is 859 00:48:22,960 --> 00:48:25,520 Speaker 16: she doing? I mean, what is what is her purposes 860 00:48:26,000 --> 00:48:29,359 Speaker 16: at this particular juncture? And I actually do not know 861 00:48:29,400 --> 00:48:31,520 Speaker 16: what the answer is. I mean I guess in theory 862 00:48:31,680 --> 00:48:34,839 Speaker 16: she might be looking for getting another book deal. I mean, 863 00:48:34,840 --> 00:48:36,560 Speaker 16: God knows what she could possibly write about that would 864 00:48:36,600 --> 00:48:38,680 Speaker 16: entertain a single human being. At this point there, she's 865 00:48:38,680 --> 00:48:41,680 Speaker 16: basically said everything platitoon isn't vapid under the under the 866 00:48:41,680 --> 00:48:44,840 Speaker 16: sun already at this point there. But I guess the 867 00:48:44,840 --> 00:48:47,320 Speaker 16: Clinton at this point, we just have an insatial desire 868 00:48:47,400 --> 00:48:50,799 Speaker 16: to be in the public lights. Recall also that you 869 00:48:50,800 --> 00:48:53,120 Speaker 16: know Bill Clinton, once upon a time and Hillary too 870 00:48:53,120 --> 00:48:56,200 Speaker 16: that once upon a time they actually call themselves religious Christians. 871 00:48:56,200 --> 00:48:59,000 Speaker 16: We can kind of scoff at at Bill's personal life 872 00:48:59,040 --> 00:49:01,920 Speaker 16: whatever they want. That's part of time call themselves real Christians. 873 00:49:01,920 --> 00:49:03,839 Speaker 16: So the fact that they have shifted this far where 874 00:49:03,840 --> 00:49:06,359 Speaker 16: they're openly mocking Christians near twenty twenty five, I think 875 00:49:06,400 --> 00:49:08,719 Speaker 16: really just shows how far the center of gravy of 876 00:49:08,719 --> 00:49:10,840 Speaker 16: the Democratic Party has shifted over the past few decades 877 00:49:10,880 --> 00:49:11,200 Speaker 16: as well. 878 00:49:13,280 --> 00:49:16,080 Speaker 2: Josh Amma, thank you so much for your time. Thank 879 00:49:16,120 --> 00:49:18,719 Speaker 2: you Rita, and that's it for May. I'll see you 880 00:49:18,760 --> 00:49:25,800 Speaker 2: tomorrow at eleven Up. Next, it's Newsnights.
