Coming up tonight the. 0:00:13.440 --> 0:00:16.280 Leadership battles that will decide the future of the Coalision. 0:00:16.720 --> 0:00:19.200 Adam Crichton will be here to cover today's top. 0:00:19.040 --> 0:00:23.680 Headlines, including a proposed congestion tax for Melbourne. 0:00:24.040 --> 0:00:26.040 Donald Trump secures the release. 0:00:25.800 --> 0:00:28.760 Of an American hostage from her mass as rumors run 0:00:28.880 --> 0:00:32.400 wild of a deepening rift between the US President and 0:00:32.520 --> 0:00:33.320 Benjamin Netting. 0:00:33.400 --> 0:00:37.600 Yahoo Josh Hammer will have the latest from the US and. 0:00:37.560 --> 0:00:41.639 Later in the hour, Kinsey Schofield on the overprivileged Miss 0:00:41.760 --> 0:00:46.720 Grants arrested at Columba Columbia University and Left is Losing. 0:00:46.760 --> 0:00:47.760 It features the. 0:00:47.880 --> 0:00:52.800 Former leader of the Free World. He ain't well of the. 0:00:54.920 --> 0:00:58.440 Projects, the benefits? How do you lead the world? Harv 0:00:58.440 --> 0:01:01.240 An ambusted instruction? How do you leave that? Of the 0:01:01.240 --> 0:01:02.040 best Healthcarenral? 0:01:02.880 --> 0:01:05.480 But first, the Liberal Party will vote for a new 0:01:05.560 --> 0:01:07.880 leader this week. The choice is likely to be between 0:01:07.959 --> 0:01:10.720 two contenders, Shadow Treacher Angus Taylor. 0:01:10.440 --> 0:01:12.360 And acting Opposition leader Susan Lee. 0:01:13.000 --> 0:01:15.520 Now the pair are locked in a tight contest, with 0:01:15.640 --> 0:01:18.559 both of them promising to end the so called civil 0:01:18.600 --> 0:01:22.520 war between the party's conservative and moderate factions. Ahead of 0:01:22.520 --> 0:01:26.440 tomorrow's party room ballad Angus Taylor has said he'll reward 0:01:26.560 --> 0:01:31.080 talent over factional allegiances, bring more women into the party's leadership, 0:01:31.240 --> 0:01:36.200 and make the Liberal Party campaign fitter, flatter, faster and 0:01:36.360 --> 0:01:40.040 more focused. Meanwhile, Susan Lee has said that if the 0:01:40.040 --> 0:01:43.640 party elects her as leader, it would send a very 0:01:43.680 --> 0:01:47.600 strong signal that we understand that things must be done differently. 0:01:48.200 --> 0:01:51.600 She also told colleagues that the Liberal Party must respect 0:01:51.680 --> 0:01:56.840 modern Australia, reflect modern Australia and represent modern Australia. 0:01:57.920 --> 0:01:59.920 Sounds like Malcolm Turnbull in a skirt. 0:02:00.200 --> 0:02:03.240 Joining me now for more on this is chief economist 0:02:03.360 --> 0:02:08.359 and senior Fellow at the Institute of Public Affairs, Adam Crichton. Adam, 0:02:08.720 --> 0:02:10.360 how do you see this contest? 0:02:10.840 --> 0:02:11.040 Look? 0:02:11.040 --> 0:02:13.480 Well, I'm not going to pick a personal favorite, but 0:02:13.560 --> 0:02:15.519 I do notice that in both their statements they've said 0:02:15.560 --> 0:02:18.600 nothing about policy yet, so I don't know who's going 0:02:18.639 --> 0:02:20.359 to have the best set of policy. They've just they've 0:02:20.360 --> 0:02:23.960 just made the usual slogans and a dine phrases. I mean, 0:02:23.960 --> 0:02:25.919 who do I think they will probably go with? I mean, 0:02:25.960 --> 0:02:28.840 I imagine Susan Lee because she's a woman, and it's sad 0:02:28.880 --> 0:02:31.160 that that's a factor. I think personally, I think people 0:02:31.320 --> 0:02:33.320 you know, should be choosing leaders on who's the best leader, 0:02:33.360 --> 0:02:36.080 not the sex of the person. But certainly, you know, 0:02:36.120 --> 0:02:38.640 the conventional political wisdom would be, you know, go with 0:02:38.720 --> 0:02:41.480 a woman because the Labor Party will find that harder 0:02:41.480 --> 0:02:45.400 to attack. But you know, I don't think the party 0:02:45.440 --> 0:02:47.600 generally needs a lot of unity at the moment. It'd 0:02:47.600 --> 0:02:49.440 be fine with me if there was a lot of debate, 0:02:49.480 --> 0:02:51.840 a lot of squabbles going on, both in public and private, 0:02:51.919 --> 0:02:54.160 so the party can work out what they actually stand for. 0:02:54.760 --> 0:02:55.480 I mean, it's been. 0:02:55.400 --> 0:02:58.919 A massive loss, there's no shying away from that. And 0:02:59.360 --> 0:03:02.880 my view is to get back to their core Liberal party, 0:03:03.440 --> 0:03:06.680 liberal party principles of low taxation, free speech, individual rights, 0:03:06.760 --> 0:03:09.320 enterprise and so forth. They seem to have lost that, 0:03:09.400 --> 0:03:11.799 and so whichever leader is for that, that's. 0:03:11.680 --> 0:03:12.560 The one that I would before. 0:03:12.560 --> 0:03:16.480 Well, the identity crisis is significant within the Liberal Party. 0:03:16.520 --> 0:03:20.400 Precisely who they are, what they stand for. That seems 0:03:20.440 --> 0:03:23.239 to be a confusing issue, and I think that was 0:03:23.320 --> 0:03:30.320 behind this really lackluster, weak, unprincipled election campaign where they 0:03:30.320 --> 0:03:33.320 were labor lite and they've had major donors tell them 0:03:33.320 --> 0:03:36.080 that and if you're going to run another labor lighte campaign, 0:03:36.160 --> 0:03:40.280 don't expect to see any donations from that group. On 0:03:40.640 --> 0:03:43.680 Susan Lee, who has added an extra s to her 0:03:44.000 --> 0:03:46.000 given name because of numerology. 0:03:46.280 --> 0:03:48.760 That's fantastic, isn't it. Wells just got a. 0:03:48.800 --> 0:03:52.040 Long track record of being on the wrong side of 0:03:52.600 --> 0:03:55.920 debates from the voice to the Middle East issue, to 0:03:57.040 --> 0:04:00.440 cultural war issues. This is just last year. Now some 0:04:00.520 --> 0:04:02.920 things you can say, well, she's changed her mind. That 0:04:03.040 --> 0:04:04.920 was five years ago, that was ten years ago. 0:04:05.360 --> 0:04:06.360 This was last year. 0:04:06.520 --> 0:04:12.480 This is her promoting the deeply flawed activist gender wage report. 0:04:12.840 --> 0:04:16.159 I'm pleased to see the scrutiny that is being applied 0:04:16.640 --> 0:04:21.000 today with the release of this data to organizations in Australia. 0:04:21.040 --> 0:04:24.559 My message to corporate Australia is it's not good enough 0:04:24.600 --> 0:04:28.200 to have a morning tea and cupcakes and pink icing. 0:04:28.600 --> 0:04:28.800 Now. 0:04:28.800 --> 0:04:32.560 We had conservative women like myself Janet Albrigson, We had 0:04:33.240 --> 0:04:38.839 senators like alex Antique Mamcanavan picking holes in this ridiculous report. 0:04:39.000 --> 0:04:43.840 It had holes you could drive a truck through. Deeply flawed, 0:04:44.160 --> 0:04:48.520 and yet we've got the deputy leader going there and 0:04:48.640 --> 0:04:50.520 advocating it like an activist. 0:04:50.640 --> 0:04:52.680 I mean, this is my problem with her, that. 0:04:53.240 --> 0:04:56.640 She's led by the bureaucrats and she needs to be 0:04:56.720 --> 0:04:59.839 convinced that a position is an actual liberal position. 0:05:00.440 --> 0:05:02.120 The Voice is a perfect example. 0:05:02.200 --> 0:05:05.360 She was pro voice and then she became an outspoken 0:05:05.400 --> 0:05:07.960 critic when the party adopted that position. 0:05:08.440 --> 0:05:09.920 It's not exactly authentic. 0:05:10.040 --> 0:05:11.080 No, look, certainly that's true. 0:05:11.080 --> 0:05:12.719 And you know, to be fair, I know I've been 0:05:12.760 --> 0:05:14.839 away for four years out of the country, but Susan 0:05:14.880 --> 0:05:16.240 Lee has been around for a while, and I must 0:05:16.240 --> 0:05:18.080 say I don't really know what she does stand for. 0:05:18.680 --> 0:05:21.200 Whereas Angus Taylor, I could name a few things. I mean, 0:05:21.240 --> 0:05:23.320 he didn't run a great campaign. Yes, look, I think 0:05:23.360 --> 0:05:25.440 I think Susan's a bit of a weather vein in 0:05:25.520 --> 0:05:28.640 terms of, you know, whatever's to work politically. 0:05:28.200 --> 0:05:28.760 At the moment. 0:05:28.800 --> 0:05:30.320 And yes, you're right that report, you know, the so 0:05:30.400 --> 0:05:33.920 called gender gape, So the gender pay gap completely vanishes 0:05:33.920 --> 0:05:35.760 statistically once you measure everything properly. 0:05:36.080 --> 0:05:40.440 Yeah, that was what was troubling about that, and it 0:05:40.560 --> 0:05:41.960 was only last year. 0:05:42.640 --> 0:05:42.880 Now. 0:05:43.080 --> 0:05:46.400 We spoke to Senator Matt Canavan on Outsiders yesterday and 0:05:46.480 --> 0:05:49.440 he talked about the tyranny of group think. 0:05:49.520 --> 0:05:51.080 It's what we saw. 0:05:50.880 --> 0:05:53.520 At the last election, arguably, but where it was very 0:05:53.560 --> 0:05:57.440 difficult to ascertain what the difference between the two parties was. 0:05:58.000 --> 0:06:02.080 But we keep hearing these calls for unity, unity, disunity 0:06:02.200 --> 0:06:06.680 is death. You've argued, perhaps the obsession with unity can 0:06:06.720 --> 0:06:07.880 be counterproductive. 0:06:08.160 --> 0:06:10.040 Yeah, look, it certainly is. I mean, as I said earlier, 0:06:10.080 --> 0:06:12.000 I don't think they really need unity at the moment. 0:06:12.000 --> 0:06:13.479 They need to work out what they stand for, and 0:06:13.520 --> 0:06:15.679 not just what they stand for, but also to see, 0:06:15.800 --> 0:06:18.479 you know who on the backbench might even make a 0:06:18.480 --> 0:06:20.320 better leader than the two that we've already mentioned. There 0:06:20.320 --> 0:06:22.360 could be some talented people there, and if there's unity, 0:06:22.360 --> 0:06:23.760 they won't be able to speak out. They'll just have 0:06:23.800 --> 0:06:26.800 to do whatever the leader does. But we have an 0:06:26.800 --> 0:06:29.720 obsession with unity I think in the political system, I mean, 0:06:29.760 --> 0:06:31.800 the parties are actually can be a problem. I mean, 0:06:31.839 --> 0:06:34.479 factionalism is not a great thing. I mean, if you 0:06:34.520 --> 0:06:39.560 go back to George Washington or to Tokeville, you know 0:06:39.600 --> 0:06:43.320 they argued against parties because they're extremely confrontational and combative 0:06:43.360 --> 0:06:45.400 and they often don't work in the interest of the country, 0:06:45.400 --> 0:06:47.560 but they work in the interests of themselves and so 0:06:47.680 --> 0:06:49.200 sometimes I think it'd be better to have a Parliament 0:06:49.240 --> 0:06:51.440 of one hundred and fifty independents and not have parties, 0:06:51.720 --> 0:06:54.039 so they'd be actual debate in the Parliament rather the 0:06:54.080 --> 0:06:55.840 debate's already being sort of. 0:06:55.920 --> 0:06:58.919 Well, we were supposed to have the upper house, the Senate, 0:06:59.040 --> 0:07:04.600 be the states and have instead of having party allegiances, 0:07:04.680 --> 0:07:09.479 allegiancens to each individual state, but of course that hasn't happened. 0:07:09.520 --> 0:07:11.240 It's just gone down party line. 0:07:11.360 --> 0:07:16.480 So that's where the unrepresentative swill line about the senator began. 0:07:16.640 --> 0:07:18.240 And I think Paul Keating was spot on. 0:07:18.280 --> 0:07:20.280 I mean, how can you have someone in Tasmania whose 0:07:20.360 --> 0:07:23.360 Upper House vote is worth what twenty times of that 0:07:23.640 --> 0:07:26.600 on someone in New South Wales. Now let's have a 0:07:26.600 --> 0:07:31.120 look at this post election assessment from Federal Vice President 0:07:31.160 --> 0:07:33.600 of the Liberal Party. If you own a Scott, this 0:07:33.720 --> 0:07:36.240 might give some indication as to why the party has 0:07:36.280 --> 0:07:39.720 completely lots its direction under the current leadership, why they 0:07:39.800 --> 0:07:42.320 ran such a woeful labor lighte campaign. 0:07:42.920 --> 0:07:45.080 She's rejected comments made by. 0:07:45.080 --> 0:07:48.480 Former Liberal Prime Minister Tony Abbott and former Nationals Deputy 0:07:48.480 --> 0:07:52.520 Prime Minister John Anderson who said that not all cultures 0:07:52.680 --> 0:07:54.560 are created equal. I would have thought that was a 0:07:54.560 --> 0:07:59.520 fairly self evident statement, but she said there is good 0:07:59.560 --> 0:08:03.880 and bad in all cultures. It's ignorant to dismiss cultures 0:08:04.000 --> 0:08:05.360 or to rank cultures. 0:08:05.400 --> 0:08:07.520 It should be an aspiration for all. 0:08:07.480 --> 0:08:10.760 People to do better, to do better, to strive to 0:08:10.800 --> 0:08:14.200 be better, and to celebrate diversity and uniqueness. Are God, 0:08:14.240 --> 0:08:15.240 where's my bucket? 0:08:15.560 --> 0:08:17.920 Adam? The Liberal Party lost. 0:08:17.640 --> 0:08:20.520 In a landslide listening to that sort of advice, and 0:08:20.600 --> 0:08:25.640 it looks like those smaller voices are being emboldened as 0:08:25.640 --> 0:08:28.480 opposed to being ashamed of their contribution to that loss. 0:08:28.840 --> 0:08:31.800 Well, certainly, the empirical record is very clear some cultures 0:08:31.840 --> 0:08:34.959 are superior to others. Western culture, with you know, small 0:08:35.000 --> 0:08:38.200 government and individual rights, has produced extraordinary economic growth over 0:08:38.240 --> 0:08:41.240 the century. So there's really no doubt about that. So 0:08:41.320 --> 0:08:43.960 I disagree with her there. I think our culture is 0:08:44.040 --> 0:08:47.680 much better, just inherently. But look, you know where she 0:08:47.800 --> 0:08:49.520 might have a point is if you want to win 0:08:49.559 --> 0:08:52.240 elections in a country where thirty one percent of people 0:08:52.280 --> 0:08:55.880 have born overseas, and that would include many Muslims, many 0:08:55.960 --> 0:08:59.120 Chinese people, you know, maybe trumpeting how great your own 0:08:59.160 --> 0:09:00.800 culture is is not so helpful. 0:09:00.840 --> 0:09:02.120 Sometimes I don't think. 0:09:01.920 --> 0:09:06.720 It was trumpeting, And I would argue, if you've moved 0:09:06.760 --> 0:09:10.920 to Australia, particularly from a Muslim majority country, then there's 0:09:10.920 --> 0:09:14.480 a reason why you've moved here, and perhaps if those 0:09:14.600 --> 0:09:18.520 cultures were giving you precisely what you needed, whether it's 0:09:18.559 --> 0:09:22.600 in lifestyle or opportunity or freedom, then perhaps you would 0:09:22.600 --> 0:09:22.959 have stayed. 0:09:23.040 --> 0:09:24.839 Look a very good you work, very good point. That's 0:09:24.840 --> 0:09:25.960 a very good point. I just think that if a 0:09:25.960 --> 0:09:28.280 liberal party ever wants to win, you know, in ten 0:09:28.320 --> 0:09:30.800 twenty years those southwestern seats in Sydney, ever. 0:09:30.880 --> 0:09:34.160 Why can't they win by appealing to the fact that 0:09:34.200 --> 0:09:38.240 these people are one socially conservative when the labor has 0:09:38.400 --> 0:09:40.959 veered to the far left on those cultural issues and 0:09:41.320 --> 0:09:44.360 the Liberals are too terrified to debate them on it. 0:09:44.920 --> 0:09:48.000 And also, these people are, often particularly new migrants of 0:09:48.040 --> 0:09:52.160 this country, are hugely aspirational. They come here seeking a 0:09:52.200 --> 0:09:54.880 better future for their children. They want to work, they 0:09:54.920 --> 0:09:58.240 want to build wealth, they want to be independent, they 0:09:58.240 --> 0:10:01.400 don't want to be reliant on welfare. And that's again 0:10:01.480 --> 0:10:04.280 something else you can appeal to. But this election, we 0:10:04.360 --> 0:10:09.040 had the Liberal Party, opposing tax cuts personal income tax cuts. 0:10:09.040 --> 0:10:11.200 It's pretty I mean, it was a very center left campaign. 0:10:11.240 --> 0:10:12.640 I would say all this stuff about it was too 0:10:12.640 --> 0:10:16.280 trump is I mean, the point to a single policy 0:10:16.320 --> 0:10:18.120 that shows that it was very center left. So if 0:10:18.160 --> 0:10:20.200 there's a problem, then it's that, not not that it 0:10:20.240 --> 0:10:20.880 was too rightly. 0:10:21.120 --> 0:10:25.120 But the post mortem analysis from all the usual hacks 0:10:25.280 --> 0:10:27.000 is that they need to veer further left. 0:10:27.240 --> 0:10:28.840 Every time they veer. 0:10:28.760 --> 0:10:31.600 Left, they lose and lose badly. We've seen it with 0:10:32.440 --> 0:10:36.559 previous campaigns, and we've seen it in Victoria, wa elsewhere, 0:10:37.120 --> 0:10:40.720 and the learnings from it seemed to be completely missing. 0:10:41.080 --> 0:10:44.920 Now let's talk about Goldstein, your seat and mine. The 0:10:44.960 --> 0:10:50.160 former til MP there, Zoey Daniel. She prematurely declared victory. 0:10:50.240 --> 0:10:52.160 Remember that that was kind of hilarious. Look at her 0:10:52.240 --> 0:10:53.160 celebrating it. 0:10:53.080 --> 0:10:58.199 Was great, yay. Well, she seems in denial over the loss. 0:10:58.280 --> 0:11:01.920 Adam tim Wilson has declared victory. 0:11:01.960 --> 0:11:04.719 Everyone accepts that the media is reported on it. 0:11:04.880 --> 0:11:08.720 But Zoe Daniel, in her latest post on X has 0:11:08.920 --> 0:11:11.920 again refused to admit defeat, stating that there are still 0:11:12.040 --> 0:11:15.120 up to ten thousand votes to count, and she also 0:11:15.160 --> 0:11:18.480 said the AEC has not yet declared the seat, calling 0:11:18.520 --> 0:11:22.640 on her supporters to respect the process and voters until. 0:11:22.360 --> 0:11:23.840 A definitive position is clear. 0:11:23.960 --> 0:11:26.440 I didn't see her respecting the process when she was 0:11:26.760 --> 0:11:31.240 dancing around celebrating the Massif someone in her in a 0:11:31.360 --> 0:11:34.360 circle needs to have a word with her, maybever embarrassing. 0:11:34.440 --> 0:11:36.880 Maybe you, being a neighbor, I could just wreak across 0:11:36.920 --> 0:11:39.079 and go, Zoey, let's have a word. 0:11:39.280 --> 0:11:41.440 She must be pretty shattered. But look, she's going to 0:11:41.480 --> 0:11:44.240 lose a big salary soon. I'm not sure actually when 0:11:44.240 --> 0:11:46.120 the official date that it gets cut off. Maybe it's 0:11:46.120 --> 0:11:47.160 when it's declared, I don't know. 0:11:47.200 --> 0:11:48.480 But look, she'll be okay. 0:11:48.559 --> 0:11:50.600 She's going to get a job in the SOUL or 0:11:50.600 --> 0:11:52.840 the wind power industry, is the head of comms, or 0:11:52.920 --> 0:11:55.200 back at the ABBC sorry, or maybe even back at 0:11:55.200 --> 0:11:57.280 the ABC. So I think she'll be fine financially, but 0:11:57.320 --> 0:11:59.480 she's probably personally a bit shattered and embarrassed. 0:11:59.679 --> 0:12:03.880 That was It was now to an outrageous proposal by 0:12:03.920 --> 0:12:09.040 the Productivity Commission, the ironically named Productivity Commission. They're talking 0:12:09.040 --> 0:12:16.040 about imposing a road congestion tax on those visiting Melbourne CBD. 0:12:15.040 --> 0:12:18.480 By the twenty fifties, more than nine million people will 0:12:18.480 --> 0:12:19.760 call Melbourne home. 0:12:19.880 --> 0:12:21.680 Where As more and more people are trying to come 0:12:21.840 --> 0:12:25.319 into our cities, the challenges our roads get super busy. 0:12:25.440 --> 0:12:28.920 The Productivity Commission putting forward a proposal to bring in 0:12:28.960 --> 0:12:32.240 a congestion levy, a charge for motorists to try to 0:12:32.320 --> 0:12:35.480 limit the number of cars and trucks and encourage people 0:12:35.520 --> 0:12:37.120 to walk or ride instead. 0:12:37.400 --> 0:12:40.760 New York has just introduced such charge. What we've seen 0:12:41.160 --> 0:12:44.800 is that travel times have fallen on all the routes 0:12:45.559 --> 0:12:47.920 that are going into the city. 0:12:48.040 --> 0:12:48.400 Adam. 0:12:48.440 --> 0:12:52.000 The fact that this mob called themselves the Productivity Commission 0:12:52.240 --> 0:12:55.920 is absurd, as is the notion that this tax is 0:12:55.960 --> 0:12:58.480 working a treat in New York. Yeah, of course it's 0:12:58.600 --> 0:13:02.920 reducing traffic because poor people, ordinary working people can't afford 0:13:02.960 --> 0:13:05.560 to drive into the city anymore. So if you want 0:13:05.600 --> 0:13:09.280 to exclude poor people from the CBD from driving into 0:13:09.280 --> 0:13:11.560 the CBD, then go right ahead. 0:13:12.160 --> 0:13:13.600 Coletely agree with those arguments. 0:13:13.600 --> 0:13:14.400 It's very regressive. 0:13:14.440 --> 0:13:16.520 And also they're getting ahead of themselves. The traffic in Melbourne, 0:13:16.520 --> 0:13:18.560 it's bad, but it's not like Manhattan, I mean, so 0:13:18.640 --> 0:13:20.880 they just want to introduce a tax clearly they just 0:13:21.040 --> 0:13:21.199 like it. 0:13:21.240 --> 0:13:23.720 They're just anti car. Their anti car. 0:13:23.960 --> 0:13:26.560 They want to see bike lanes which nobody is using. 0:13:26.559 --> 0:13:28.600 They want to see more public transfer. You know what, 0:13:28.760 --> 0:13:32.800 you can't take home six bags of shopping on your bike, 0:13:33.360 --> 0:13:35.160 particularly if you live in Narry Warren. 0:13:35.640 --> 0:13:38.319 But the head of the Productify, the head of the PC, 0:13:38.480 --> 0:13:41.080 the Productivity Commission, she was a big champion of Lockdown's actually, 0:13:41.240 --> 0:13:43.880 of course, so I'm not surprised that she also supports 0:13:44.400 --> 0:13:46.080 this sort of tax. I mean, we need less tax 0:13:46.080 --> 0:13:47.560 in this country, not more. I mean, if they want 0:13:47.559 --> 0:13:49.760 to boost productivity, why are they talking about stamp duties 0:13:49.760 --> 0:13:50.319 in Victoria. 0:13:50.440 --> 0:13:51.520 I mean, I just bought a place. 0:13:51.600 --> 0:13:53.760 Have to pay fifty grand just for someone to go 0:13:54.360 --> 0:13:54.640 that's it. 0:13:54.840 --> 0:13:55.120 That's it. 0:13:55.200 --> 0:13:55.720 I mean, that's a. 0:13:55.720 --> 0:13:59.120 Shoe, and that prevents you from easily selling that property 0:13:59.320 --> 0:14:00.679 and buying something else. 0:14:00.480 --> 0:14:02.240 Because you'll have to pay it each and every time. 0:14:02.280 --> 0:14:03.040 A massive problem. 0:14:03.040 --> 0:14:05.520 But just silence for the productivity, the productivity. 0:14:05.520 --> 0:14:08.240 We need to have some truth in what people call 0:14:08.320 --> 0:14:12.040 themselves and their bodies, and calling the Productivity Commission that 0:14:12.200 --> 0:14:15.760 name is an insult to productivity and to the English language. 0:14:15.800 --> 0:14:17.840 Adam Crichton, thank you so much for your time. Thanks 0:14:18.280 --> 0:14:18.800 joining me. 0:14:18.800 --> 0:14:22.520 Now is a steem geologist and author professor in primer 0:14:23.240 --> 0:14:26.720 in Let's start with the ABC. Former ABC board member 0:14:26.840 --> 0:14:30.720 Joe Gersh has called on the taxpayer funder broadcaster to 0:14:30.720 --> 0:14:34.640 conduct a comprehensive review of its election coverage. Here is 0:14:34.680 --> 0:14:38.600 that the ABC will become a mouthpiece of government under 0:14:38.680 --> 0:14:44.160 Labour's supermajority, become I think we got there some time ago. 0:14:44.680 --> 0:14:47.280 Twenty eight thousand of those home Remarchael. 0:14:47.040 --> 0:14:49.560 What would your mother say hearing you interrupt her? 0:14:49.680 --> 0:14:52.920 Just I've been interrupted the entire time. Just please, it's okay. 0:14:53.200 --> 0:14:54.600 I'm unflappable, Sarah. 0:14:54.640 --> 0:14:56.400 I'm going to ask you one more time, and everyone 0:14:56.480 --> 0:14:59.280 is listening to me. Ask this question, how many social 0:14:59.320 --> 0:15:01.320 and affordable houses will you build? 0:15:01.480 --> 0:15:03.560 Well, we will fund social and for right. 0:15:03.600 --> 0:15:03.880 That's it. 0:15:03.960 --> 0:15:06.360 You're not getting an answer, You'll get an answer out 0:15:06.360 --> 0:15:09.400 of me. And who can forget this on election night? 0:15:10.600 --> 0:15:14.200 Let's just talk about this sensibly. Just into We saw 0:15:14.240 --> 0:15:17.760 you wearing a make Australia a Great Again hat at 0:15:17.760 --> 0:15:21.240 a time when Donald Trump poison to the world. We 0:15:21.320 --> 0:15:23.880 saw you give a speech in which you used a 0:15:24.040 --> 0:15:27.880 Donald Trump value statement to make Australia, Great together. 0:15:29.360 --> 0:15:29.600 Ian. 0:15:29.840 --> 0:15:33.240 When the ABC is critical of a labor government, it's 0:15:33.400 --> 0:15:37.080 always from the left, never from the right, never from 0:15:37.120 --> 0:15:40.120 the conservative point of view. And I would argue their 0:15:40.200 --> 0:15:43.720 conduct during the Voice referendum. Their coverage of that issue 0:15:44.360 --> 0:15:47.120 was far more reprehensible than what we saw during the 0:15:47.160 --> 0:15:52.920 election campaign. It was so relentlessly pro Voice and often 0:15:53.000 --> 0:15:53.760 hysterically so. 0:15:54.200 --> 0:15:57.480 It was pro Yes in just about every bit of coverage. 0:15:58.200 --> 0:16:02.040 Well, that interview was vulgar, it was partisan, and the 0:16:02.080 --> 0:16:04.960 ABC has been like that for a long while and 0:16:05.360 --> 0:16:08.320 the last time I appeared on the ABC it was 0:16:08.360 --> 0:16:12.000 an ambush. Of course, that is their standard tactic. Now. 0:16:12.200 --> 0:16:16.520 When Sarah talks about what would your mother think about this? 0:16:17.280 --> 0:16:19.720 I look at her and think, well, only a mother 0:16:19.800 --> 0:16:24.920 could love that. You can't behave like that on taxpayer 0:16:25.000 --> 0:16:28.120 funded television. That is just not the way you behave. 0:16:28.280 --> 0:16:31.680 And I think to set behavioral standards like that shows 0:16:31.760 --> 0:16:34.880 you that the ABC has got right to the bottom. 0:16:35.520 --> 0:16:36.000 It has. 0:16:36.280 --> 0:16:41.200 But even if they do agree to this comprehensive review, 0:16:41.400 --> 0:16:43.280 we know who's going to be doing the review, and 0:16:43.320 --> 0:16:45.080 we know what the recommendations are going to be. 0:16:45.160 --> 0:16:47.840 The entire exercise will be pointless because that will. 0:16:47.680 --> 0:16:52.240 Come up with no bias, no learnings, and just more 0:16:52.280 --> 0:16:52.840 of the same. 0:16:53.280 --> 0:16:55.880 Well, I can suggest some wonderful names for the review. 0:16:55.960 --> 0:16:58.080 Some of the people that are on this network, like 0:16:59.120 --> 0:17:01.360 Krager for exactly, plast think he would do quite a 0:17:01.360 --> 0:17:01.640 good thing. 0:17:02.000 --> 0:17:04.360 He would love that role. He would do it for free. 0:17:04.640 --> 0:17:05.520 He would do it for free. 0:17:05.560 --> 0:17:09.639 Hard Graves would be another way. So there are some 0:17:09.760 --> 0:17:13.359 people around who would take a very different view to 0:17:13.480 --> 0:17:16.320 the soft glove approach that a review would be. In 0:17:16.359 --> 0:17:19.200 the trick with the review, it's to appoint the people 0:17:19.240 --> 0:17:21.880 to do the review. You've got to drive that. Once 0:17:21.880 --> 0:17:23.960 you've appointed the right people, you know the way it's 0:17:24.000 --> 0:17:25.960 going to go. And that's the way the ABC review 0:17:26.040 --> 0:17:30.080 is going to be. And I was once a listener 0:17:30.119 --> 0:17:33.120 to the ABC, especially ABC FM Classic. 0:17:33.640 --> 0:17:34.720 And it's just terrible. 0:17:35.359 --> 0:17:38.359 They pretle on piece of music. 0:17:38.400 --> 0:17:42.280 It wasn't it wasn't. So I think we've got to 0:17:42.320 --> 0:17:47.480 scrap the ABC except for ABC Regional Radio and put 0:17:47.480 --> 0:17:49.240 it out the subscription like Sky. 0:17:49.520 --> 0:17:53.199 Well, that's never going to happen. And the conservative so 0:17:53.320 --> 0:17:57.600 called Conservative Coalition governments who had plenty of opportunity to 0:17:57.640 --> 0:18:01.679 reign in the ABC to fund aspects of it to 0:18:01.880 --> 0:18:04.360 hold them account and will refuse to do so. And 0:18:04.840 --> 0:18:07.879 it would be I think her foolish to expect the 0:18:08.280 --> 0:18:09.760 Labor Party to be doing anything. 0:18:09.760 --> 0:18:12.439 WNG really what you say, and that's what's happened. 0:18:13.040 --> 0:18:17.480 Now, let's talk about these shock revelations about the Antarctic 0:18:17.640 --> 0:18:21.040 ice shelf. A study published in Science China Earth Sciences 0:18:21.080 --> 0:18:24.399 has found that between twenty twenty one and twenty twenty three, 0:18:24.480 --> 0:18:30.119 the Antarctic ice sheet, far from disappearing, has been experiencing 0:18:30.280 --> 0:18:33.960 record growth almost one hundred and eight gigatons or one 0:18:34.040 --> 0:18:37.800 hundred and eight billion metric tons of ice per year. 0:18:38.520 --> 0:18:39.800 How do we explain this? 0:18:39.920 --> 0:18:42.359 Because I thought these this was going to be the 0:18:42.440 --> 0:18:45.359 end of the world, these rising sea levels and everyone 0:18:45.480 --> 0:18:47.560 was going to drown, and now we've. 0:18:47.359 --> 0:18:52.720 Got record gross Well, we have cycles, and these cycles 0:18:52.760 --> 0:18:56.000 are where the ice sheds grow the ice sheets contract. 0:18:56.200 --> 0:18:59.560 Now in the Antarctica, you've got another parameter which journalists 0:18:59.600 --> 0:19:02.400 never meant. They never chase it up in questions, they 0:19:02.440 --> 0:19:05.720 never put it down in any articles about Antarctica, and 0:19:05.760 --> 0:19:09.520 that is there are one hundred and fifty geothermal centers 0:19:09.560 --> 0:19:13.439 and volcano underneath the ice sheet and if you're going 0:19:13.480 --> 0:19:15.919 to heat the ice from below, what's it going to do? 0:19:16.560 --> 0:19:20.040 It will melt a very slight temperature raised from the 0:19:20.080 --> 0:19:22.840 top of the ice sheet. If you raise the temperature 0:19:22.840 --> 0:19:26.679 from minus twenty to minus eighteen, the ice won't melt. 0:19:26.880 --> 0:19:29.879 But if underneath the temperature seven to fifty degrees celsius, 0:19:30.200 --> 0:19:31.040 it will melt. 0:19:31.359 --> 0:19:32.480 So when you. 0:19:32.440 --> 0:19:37.320 Ignore the volcanic factor, then you end up shock, horror, surprise. 0:19:38.440 --> 0:19:41.800 We have psychical climates on planet Earth. We've known that 0:19:42.160 --> 0:19:45.800 for over one hundred years, and nothing should shock you 0:19:45.920 --> 0:19:48.000 if you're aware of the literature. 0:19:49.359 --> 0:19:51.639 Oh well, well, you're speaking there like some sort of 0:19:51.640 --> 0:19:53.680 a geologist, some sort of leading john. 0:19:53.840 --> 0:19:57.199 What would climate? We've only been studying it for two 0:19:57.320 --> 0:19:59.560 hundred years and looking at four and a half billion 0:19:59.600 --> 0:20:01.800 years of what would What would. 0:20:01.560 --> 0:20:04.040 You know, Professor the implymer? Thanks for your time tonight. 0:20:04.240 --> 0:20:06.160 Thank you still to come. 0:20:06.280 --> 0:20:10.000 Matt Lefty's losing it plus as Donald Trump. So here's 0:20:10.040 --> 0:20:13.159 the release of an American hostage from her mask. Rumors 0:20:13.240 --> 0:20:16.439 run rife of a rift between the US President and 0:20:16.560 --> 0:20:18.840 Benjamin ettan Yahoo Josh Hammer. 0:20:18.760 --> 0:20:19.679 As the details. 0:20:28.800 --> 0:20:31.560 You're watching the Reader Panny Show, and it's time for 0:20:31.720 --> 0:20:37.080 lefties losing it. I'll be bringing you a Biden extravaganza shortly. 0:20:37.760 --> 0:20:41.160 But let's start with one of our favorites, stillan mulvainy 0:20:41.200 --> 0:20:43.399 who has made a creer out of mocking what he 0:20:43.520 --> 0:20:46.879 calls girlhood and this fight causing more than a billion 0:20:46.920 --> 0:20:50.159 dollars worth of damage and almost destroying bud Light. With 0:20:50.240 --> 0:20:55.000 an endorsement, he is now promoting another iconic brand for 0:20:55.160 --> 0:20:55.640 such a. 0:20:57.400 --> 0:20:58.959 I've never seen you in that dress? 0:20:59.440 --> 0:21:01.760 Sure, funny, this is the one that I always pull 0:21:01.800 --> 0:21:02.920 out on my relationships. 0:21:02.920 --> 0:21:04.360 Started to get a little serious. 0:21:09.480 --> 0:21:14.480 Okay, yes, I'm sure they'll have the ladies flocking to 0:21:14.560 --> 0:21:18.080 buy those overpriced Versace garments. 0:21:18.119 --> 0:21:19.119 Well done, Donatella. 0:21:19.880 --> 0:21:22.719 Let's check in on a protest that took place in 0:21:22.800 --> 0:21:27.679 recent days where masked anti Israeli activists stormed Columbia University, 0:21:27.800 --> 0:21:39.360 taking over the library. They may have learned something in there, well, 0:21:39.400 --> 0:21:43.200 they weren't interested in sticking around the library too much 0:21:43.240 --> 0:21:46.000 knowledge there. It wasn't long before they were trying to 0:21:46.240 --> 0:21:50.160 escape with shouts of let us out, let them out, 0:21:50.240 --> 0:21:54.440 but security wanted to see id before allowing the protesters 0:21:54.440 --> 0:22:13.600 to leave. Remember the days when you needed to have 0:22:13.640 --> 0:22:18.239 an IQ above room temperature to attend university. Now, the 0:22:18.280 --> 0:22:22.280 most dangerously dumb seem to be recent graduates. 0:22:22.359 --> 0:22:26.080 I mean, where else will you hear something this silly? 0:22:27.240 --> 0:22:29.040 Do you have depict a country in the Middle East 0:22:29.080 --> 0:22:31.720 to live in? What country would you choose? I would 0:22:31.720 --> 0:22:34.159 say are On, but I know that it's not the 0:22:34.200 --> 0:22:34.920 best for women. 0:22:35.160 --> 0:22:36.200 Probably are On here. 0:22:36.960 --> 0:22:41.400 Yeah, they want to live in an Islamist hellhole where 0:22:41.400 --> 0:22:45.639 women are second class citizens. Let's see what other profound 0:22:45.880 --> 0:22:47.920 insights these two have to provide. 0:22:48.960 --> 0:22:50.280 Are you guys ask for a free pastime? 0:22:50.440 --> 0:22:53.360 Yes? Yes, okay? So what is your favorite free pawsign? 0:22:53.440 --> 0:22:56.960 They chant from the river to the sea, palestign will 0:22:57.000 --> 0:22:59.560 be free? Do you guys know, like what river and 0:22:59.600 --> 0:23:05.080 what sea that chant? It refers to? Like the Mediterranean? 0:23:06.480 --> 0:23:10.160 I don't know. I'm gonna go Arabian for you? 0:23:10.320 --> 0:23:12.440 And what river like? 0:23:12.600 --> 0:23:14.600 I don't know river and ams, but I know it's 0:23:14.640 --> 0:23:15.760 the one that's near there. 0:23:16.040 --> 0:23:21.800 Let's hear from President Trump now diagnosing another Democrat, Chuck Schumer, 0:23:21.840 --> 0:23:25.240 this time with TDS trumped arrangement syndrome. 0:23:25.760 --> 0:23:27.520 What's here as jd. 0:23:27.480 --> 0:23:30.600 Vance cracks up, is trying not to crack up, but 0:23:30.640 --> 0:23:31.800 he's losing that battle. 0:23:31.840 --> 0:23:35.240 Trump really is the funniest president if you don't. 0:23:35.280 --> 0:23:37.920 And the Democrats are fighting it only because they want 0:23:37.920 --> 0:23:40.399 to fight. They have Trump derangement syndrome. You know, with 0:23:40.520 --> 0:23:43.439 somebody else. They wouldn't fight if you had a normal person, 0:23:43.480 --> 0:23:46.160 if you had some stiff sitting behind you, they'd be fine. 0:23:46.560 --> 0:23:50.600 But they have Trump arrangement syndrome. There. You know, Senator 0:23:50.680 --> 0:23:54.840 Schumer has become a Palestinian. Welcome. I don't know when 0:23:54.840 --> 0:23:57.720 they're going to give him the ceremony, whatever the ceremony 0:23:57.800 --> 0:24:01.440 may be. It's a terrible what's happened to the Democrats. 0:24:01.800 --> 0:24:04.320 Now to the ladies of the view, who were joined 0:24:04.320 --> 0:24:07.520 by former President Joe Biden and his wife, doctor Jill, 0:24:07.760 --> 0:24:13.960 and good lord, it was a sickly sycophantic love festing 0:24:14.040 --> 0:24:14.920 his nephew. 0:24:14.720 --> 0:24:22.719 Today here beyond happy to have you here today for 0:24:22.760 --> 0:24:24.160 a lot of different reasons. 0:24:24.280 --> 0:24:29.679 But my question is how are you looked like he 0:24:29.760 --> 0:24:30.720 was falling asleep there. 0:24:31.040 --> 0:24:34.119 Biden did struggle through the program with help from his 0:24:34.240 --> 0:24:37.560 handler Amina, his wife, doctor Jill, and he was not 0:24:37.680 --> 0:24:42.119 above engaging in more divisive rhetoric, painting America as inherently 0:24:42.640 --> 0:24:44.040 racist and sexist. 0:24:44.080 --> 0:24:46.520 Apparently that's the only reason Kamala lost. 0:24:47.840 --> 0:24:51.840 Well, I was surprised. I wasn't surprised because they went 0:24:51.960 --> 0:24:55.719 the route of the sexistuit of the whole room. I mean, 0:24:55.760 --> 0:25:00.200 this is a woman, she's this, she's a real I've 0:25:00.200 --> 0:25:05.920 never seen quite as successful and a consistent campaign, under 0:25:06.119 --> 0:25:08.959 cutting the notion that a woman couldn't lead the country 0:25:09.080 --> 0:25:11.040 and a woman of mixed race. 0:25:11.920 --> 0:25:13.199 Yes, he really said that. 0:25:13.280 --> 0:25:15.399 And he also seems to think that he would have 0:25:15.520 --> 0:25:18.000 besioned Donald Trump if he hadn't drummed out. 0:25:18.160 --> 0:25:22.879 I mean, there is delusional and then there's this knowing 0:25:22.880 --> 0:25:23.280 what you know? 0:25:23.400 --> 0:25:25.440 Now, do you think you would have beat him? 0:25:25.680 --> 0:25:29.440 Yeah, he's still has seven million fewer votes. Yes, a 0:25:29.520 --> 0:25:32.560 lot of people didn't show up number one, number one, 0:25:32.680 --> 0:25:38.440 number two, the uh, they're very close in those those 0:25:38.480 --> 0:25:43.440 toss up states. It was. It wasn't a slam dunk. 0:25:44.240 --> 0:25:49.399 And so look, you know, every time I've been on 0:25:49.440 --> 0:25:52.280 the show, which you've been fortund I've been fortunate beyond 0:25:52.600 --> 0:25:56.000 more than once. Thanks for having me. Is that we talk. 0:25:57.200 --> 0:25:59.200 You guys don't focus on as much. And I think 0:25:59.240 --> 0:26:04.600 it's good pulling numbers, but thankful this way he's had 0:26:04.680 --> 0:26:07.280 the worst hundred days any presidents ever had. 0:26:07.520 --> 0:26:10.600 Yeah, fact, that's a fact. Is a joy. 0:26:10.640 --> 0:26:14.119 The man who managed this solve the ruinous border crisis 0:26:14.160 --> 0:26:16.440 within weeks of being in office has had the worst 0:26:16.560 --> 0:26:20.120 hundred days on record. Even Old Joe, in his feeble 0:26:20.160 --> 0:26:23.440 mental state, doesn't really believe that, though he did try 0:26:23.480 --> 0:26:27.120 to blame his failings on the border on Donald Trump. 0:26:27.280 --> 0:26:30.160 Listen to this lunacy you got on. 0:26:30.160 --> 0:26:36.040 The telephone, any call. Republicans do not support it. It's legal, 0:26:36.240 --> 0:26:39.520 it'll work, it'll make Biden look good. Don't do it. 0:26:40.480 --> 0:26:42.760 They backed off, They backed off. 0:26:43.600 --> 0:26:47.920 Impeached for something like that, Well, impeached. 0:26:48.200 --> 0:26:51.760 That's a new and imaginative reason to impeach Trump for 0:26:51.920 --> 0:26:55.800 things Biden failed to do. As Donald Trump showed, you 0:26:55.840 --> 0:26:58.639 didn't need the flawed border bill to fix the border. 0:26:58.680 --> 0:27:01.399 You just needed a president knew what he was doing. 0:27:02.080 --> 0:27:08.960 Unlike this, dude, Listen to this incomprehensible gibberish. 0:27:09.320 --> 0:27:14.399 All the projects, the projects, the benefits. How do you 0:27:14.480 --> 0:27:16.840 lead the world having best instruction? How do you leave 0:27:16.840 --> 0:27:19.199 the world without him the best health carerent role? How 0:27:19.200 --> 0:27:21.400 do you lead the world without having the best education? 0:27:21.520 --> 0:27:23.520 So, how do you lead the world and do not 0:27:23.640 --> 0:27:26.640 have that done. What do you say to that? 0:27:27.560 --> 0:27:30.720 Joining me now is Newsweek's senior editor at Large and 0:27:30.880 --> 0:27:33.480 Article three Projects Senior Council Josh Hammer. 0:27:33.640 --> 0:27:36.760 Josh, if the goal of that exercise was. 0:27:36.720 --> 0:27:40.920 To convince the American people that Joe Biden was and 0:27:41.280 --> 0:27:45.080 is cognitively sound, well it was a massive failure. 0:27:46.760 --> 0:27:49.159 Yeah, reader, at what point do we just start, you know, 0:27:49.320 --> 0:27:52.600 charging doctor Jill Biden, so called doctor job Biden. I mean, 0:27:52.640 --> 0:27:55.359 at what point does she just start getting charged with 0:27:55.359 --> 0:27:57.399 with elder ab so? I mean, that is clearly what 0:27:57.480 --> 0:28:00.440 is going on here. I mean I look at clips 0:28:00.480 --> 0:28:03.400 like this and I genuinely ask, and actually my wife 0:28:03.440 --> 0:28:06.200 and I were talking about this, like, actually, like what 0:28:06.240 --> 0:28:09.080 are they trying to do? I genuinely do not know 0:28:09.119 --> 0:28:10.560 what they're trying to do. Now, there are a lot 0:28:10.560 --> 0:28:13.320 of rumors floating around here. It's not entirely clear which 0:28:13.400 --> 0:28:16.399 rumors are true which are not true. Apparently the Biden 0:28:16.480 --> 0:28:19.480 family is actually hurting financially, and I have a guess 0:28:19.480 --> 0:28:22.119 as to why. It's because the big guy is not 0:28:22.160 --> 0:28:24.639 in power anymore and Hunter Biden is not able to 0:28:24.720 --> 0:28:28.639 basically use that Frank Flynn to bring money into the 0:28:28.680 --> 0:28:31.399 Coffers of the Biden crime Family bank accounts, Right, So 0:28:31.480 --> 0:28:34.199 there are all sorts of rumors that Biden is going 0:28:34.240 --> 0:28:36.280 to try and take a massive book contract nout, that 0:28:36.320 --> 0:28:37.840 he's going to write a single page of this book 0:28:37.880 --> 0:28:40.680 because he's looking for ways to make money. So I 0:28:41.160 --> 0:28:44.480 maybe maybe that's what's going on here. Honestly, I think 0:28:44.480 --> 0:28:46.920 that's probably going on here. Rita is actually even sadder 0:28:46.920 --> 0:28:48.680 than that. I think we're looking at as a man 0:28:48.680 --> 0:28:50.480 who has been in the public sphere here in the 0:28:50.560 --> 0:28:52.880 United States for more than half a century. Joe Biden 0:28:52.920 --> 0:28:56.000 first became a US cenator from Delaware in the early 0:28:56.080 --> 0:28:59.560 nineteen seventies. He simply does not know anything else other 0:28:59.600 --> 0:29:02.200 than going out before cameras, other than trying to be 0:29:02.280 --> 0:29:05.280 a public figure. The problem is that he's literally just 0:29:05.280 --> 0:29:09.160 not capable of doing it mentally, intellectually, physically. 0:29:08.760 --> 0:29:09.400 At this point there. 0:29:09.440 --> 0:29:12.880 And it's really, really, really profoundly sad. But I guess 0:29:12.920 --> 0:29:14.800 if you're Biden and you're trying to get a book 0:29:14.800 --> 0:29:17.560 contract and you're willing to basically embarrass yourself before Global 0:29:17.560 --> 0:29:19.360 TV lines to get a few more dollars into the 0:29:19.400 --> 0:29:23.800 Biden crime family coffers, I guess they're. 0:29:23.600 --> 0:29:26.480 Looking at this and thinking, well, we managed to fool 0:29:26.480 --> 0:29:28.920 the world for four years whilst he was the most 0:29:28.960 --> 0:29:30.960 powerful man in the world. We had the bulk of 0:29:31.000 --> 0:29:35.680 the media in on this ruse that he was in charge. 0:29:35.720 --> 0:29:38.600 He was cognitively sound, he was up to the job. 0:29:38.680 --> 0:29:42.280 And I think with these books coming out now about 0:29:42.320 --> 0:29:44.640 his time in office, and some of those books being 0:29:44.720 --> 0:29:49.080 penned by leftist authors, he's trying to counter that, but 0:29:49.120 --> 0:29:51.479 it's not working. Every time he's in front of the camera, 0:29:51.680 --> 0:29:55.000 you are reminded of why he should have never been 0:29:55.000 --> 0:29:58.360 in that role. Now, let's talk about US President Donald 0:29:58.400 --> 0:30:01.080 Trump announcing on the way he can that India and 0:30:01.200 --> 0:30:04.719 Pakistan have agreed to a ceasefire. He wrote, after a 0:30:04.720 --> 0:30:08.840 long night of talks mediated by United States, please to 0:30:08.840 --> 0:30:11.040 announce that Indian and Pakistan have agreed. 0:30:10.760 --> 0:30:12.840 To a full and immediate cease fire. 0:30:12.920 --> 0:30:17.080 Congratulations to both countries on using common sense and great intelligence. 0:30:17.600 --> 0:30:20.400 Thank you for your attention to this matter. Now, how 0:30:20.520 --> 0:30:24.240 tenuous is this piece? This ceasefire? Josh? 0:30:24.280 --> 0:30:27.240 And what can you tell me about President Trump's offer 0:30:27.320 --> 0:30:32.120 to work with these nuclear armed nations to come up 0:30:32.120 --> 0:30:33.680 with a solution over Kashmir? 0:30:35.240 --> 0:30:40.160 Well, this is an extraordinarily complicated and extraordinarily emotionally religiously 0:30:40.280 --> 0:30:43.040 fraught conflict bearer in the Cashi or Pakistan. India have 0:30:43.120 --> 0:30:46.400 been at lagger heads Rita, as you know, for longer 0:30:46.440 --> 0:30:48.640 than half a century. It has been a very, very, 0:30:48.920 --> 0:30:52.880 very long time. And both these countries our nuclear powers. 0:30:53.240 --> 0:30:56.800 Anytime you have two nuclear powers that are directly firing 0:30:56.800 --> 0:31:00.520 each other and not necessarily firing via proxy, as Russia 0:31:00.520 --> 0:31:02.040 and the United States have been doing Ukraine for the 0:31:02.080 --> 0:31:06.240 past three years, but literally just directly, no proxy, just unfettered, 0:31:06.600 --> 0:31:09.760 but you know, shots fired across the border that has 0:31:09.800 --> 0:31:12.760 potential to be absolute disastrous. So if there is an 0:31:12.800 --> 0:31:16.560 actual ceasefire and it's it's a very fluid connect situation. 0:31:16.640 --> 0:31:18.600 With the last I checked, it looks like things were 0:31:18.640 --> 0:31:20.760 a lot calmer than they were at least earlier in 0:31:21.160 --> 0:31:24.080 this past week, then that is news to be celebrated 0:31:24.160 --> 0:31:27.400 all throughout the world. I think that America, fundamentally, and 0:31:27.640 --> 0:31:30.040 Donald Trump is the right person to do this, has 0:31:30.080 --> 0:31:33.200 to reassess its relationship with these two particular countries. So 0:31:33.240 --> 0:31:36.160 back during the Cold War, India was part of the 0:31:36.200 --> 0:31:38.840 broader Soviet sphere of influence there, they were cozy with 0:31:38.920 --> 0:31:41.160 communists China, with a part tiight South Africa, and so 0:31:41.240 --> 0:31:43.360 war there. So the United States made a decision to 0:31:43.480 --> 0:31:47.200 ally with India's rival Pakistan. That decision might have been 0:31:47.360 --> 0:31:50.720 correct at the time, it has not been particularly sound, 0:31:50.760 --> 0:31:53.520 shall we say, in retrospects. Let's not forget that Osama 0:31:53.560 --> 0:31:57.840 bin Laden was actually found in Pakistan. Pakistan is increasingly 0:31:58.160 --> 0:32:01.760 a radical Islamist nation in there. America's ally in this 0:32:01.800 --> 0:32:04.760 conflict is no longer Pakistan. It really actually is India. 0:32:04.760 --> 0:32:08.520 America and the Western general, Australia, western style countries really 0:32:08.520 --> 0:32:10.480 ought to stand shoulder to shoulder with India. 0:32:11.280 --> 0:32:12.640 What my money's worked this conflict there. 0:32:12.640 --> 0:32:14.440 I think that Donald Trump's the right guy to make 0:32:14.520 --> 0:32:17.240 inroads there with Moody and the leadership in New Delhi, 0:32:17.280 --> 0:32:19.440 and I look for those inroads to hopefully continue. 0:32:22.200 --> 0:32:26.080 Donald Trump has announced that an American Israeli hostage held 0:32:26.120 --> 0:32:30.040 by HAMA since October seven, twenty twenty three, is coming home. 0:32:30.800 --> 0:32:34.400 Trump wrote, I'm happy to announce that Eden Alexander, an 0:32:34.440 --> 0:32:37.640 American citizen who has been held hostage since October twenty 0:32:37.640 --> 0:32:39.440 twenty three, is coming. 0:32:39.120 --> 0:32:40.160 Home to his family. 0:32:40.200 --> 0:32:43.320 I'm grateful to all those involved in making this monumental 0:32:43.320 --> 0:32:46.040 news happened. This was a step taken in good faith 0:32:46.080 --> 0:32:49.160 towards the United States and the efforts of the mediators 0:32:49.560 --> 0:32:52.360 Katar in Egypt to put an end to this very 0:32:52.400 --> 0:32:56.520 brutal war and return all living hostages and remains to 0:32:56.560 --> 0:32:57.640 their loved ones. 0:32:57.720 --> 0:33:00.440 Josh. This development comes out as. 0:33:00.360 --> 0:33:04.320 Reports of a growing rift between Donald Trump and Benjamin 0:33:04.360 --> 0:33:08.520 Netting Yahoo emerge. What can you tell me about what 0:33:08.600 --> 0:33:12.160 this means for the war between Hamas and Israel? Is 0:33:12.200 --> 0:33:15.920 there a truth that there is a rift between these 0:33:15.920 --> 0:33:16.560 two leaders. 0:33:18.320 --> 0:33:21.800 So there's an enormous amount of rumors, and it is 0:33:22.000 --> 0:33:25.040 very very difficult to know what exactly is certain and 0:33:25.080 --> 0:33:28.880 what is not certain. Now, apparently the asking price that 0:33:28.920 --> 0:33:31.520 Hamas essentially again this is just a rumor, This is 0:33:31.520 --> 0:33:34.920 not verified, but allegedly the asking price that Hamas asked 0:33:34.920 --> 0:33:37.440 President Trump and Or to free the last American hostage 0:33:37.440 --> 0:33:41.800 there was to put pressure on Netta Yahu to establish 0:33:41.840 --> 0:33:45.400 a definitive time frame to wind down the military operations 0:33:45.400 --> 0:33:45.920 in Gaza. 0:33:45.960 --> 0:33:47.840 The obvious problem is that Prime. 0:33:47.680 --> 0:33:50.160 Mister Naton Yahu and the Israelities are not ready to put 0:33:50.160 --> 0:33:52.920 a definitive time frame on the operations in Gaza because 0:33:52.960 --> 0:33:55.840 Hamas is not close to being eradicated yet. Now they 0:33:55.880 --> 0:33:59.160 are deeply, deeply hurting compared to where they were on 0:33:59.200 --> 0:34:01.680 October sixth, twenty twenty three. That should not be surprised 0:34:01.680 --> 0:34:04.160 to anyone there. But yes, I think it's fair to 0:34:04.200 --> 0:34:08.240 say that they're likely are increasingly signs of a rift. 0:34:08.280 --> 0:34:10.760 Maybe there is not a rift at this exact moment, 0:34:11.080 --> 0:34:13.080 but there are a lot of ten situations. The latest 0:34:13.120 --> 0:34:15.240 rumors over the past twenty four to thirty six hours 0:34:15.480 --> 0:34:18.040 are that Qatar, of all countries, might be gifting a 0:34:18.480 --> 0:34:21.200 Boeing seven forty seven to be an Air Force one 0:34:21.280 --> 0:34:24.440 backup plane or something along those lines. They're Qatar, shall 0:34:24.440 --> 0:34:28.440 we say, is a problematic country. They are somewhat infamous 0:34:28.480 --> 0:34:31.080 when it comes to double speak. They like to play 0:34:31.120 --> 0:34:33.839 the nice role of mediator when it comes to these negotiations, 0:34:33.880 --> 0:34:36.360 but they also are major funders of Hamas and the 0:34:36.400 --> 0:34:39.719 Muslim brotherhood there. The Trump Organization recently into big deal 0:34:39.960 --> 0:34:42.080 to develop a new golf course there in Doha, so 0:34:42.560 --> 0:34:44.719 it's a little difficult to know exactly what is going 0:34:44.760 --> 0:34:46.759 on here. At the end of the day, though, the 0:34:46.800 --> 0:34:50.839 American people and especially MAGA voters. Republicans really do stand 0:34:50.880 --> 0:34:54.400 overwhelmingly with Primauisternenti Yahu in Israel. So if for no 0:34:54.520 --> 0:34:56.759 other reason than that reason, Rita, I expect that US 0:34:56.840 --> 0:34:58.880 Isra relations will continue to be quite close. 0:35:01.520 --> 0:35:04.400 Now, a lot has happened in the recent days, is Josh. 0:35:04.400 --> 0:35:07.200 We've got a lot to cover, including the US striking 0:35:07.239 --> 0:35:09.960 a trade deal with the UK. This was pretty big news, 0:35:10.080 --> 0:35:13.440 but it was a long before the usual suspects in 0:35:13.480 --> 0:35:17.200 the media were out to downplay the significance of the deal. 0:35:17.280 --> 0:35:19.640 Let's have a listen to MSNBC. 0:35:20.880 --> 0:35:23.319 This is relatively low hanging fruit. If you can't get 0:35:23.360 --> 0:35:27.960 a trade deal with the longest standing and loyalist United 0:35:27.960 --> 0:35:32.640 States ally anywhere in the world over generations, you're going 0:35:32.680 --> 0:35:35.080 to be in trouble when you're dealing with some of 0:35:35.120 --> 0:35:37.600 the more obstruperous countries around the world, the ones that 0:35:37.600 --> 0:35:41.240 are more willing to resist your entreaties. 0:35:43.320 --> 0:35:47.400 Josh, if it's so easy, then why didn't previous administrations 0:35:47.440 --> 0:35:47.640 do it? 0:35:47.640 --> 0:35:48.960 Why didn't Joe Biden do it? 0:35:48.960 --> 0:35:51.920 Why did the Obama administration do it? What can you 0:35:51.960 --> 0:35:53.040 tell me about this deal? 0:35:54.080 --> 0:35:57.400 Okay, so this deal I believe really should shatter a 0:35:57.400 --> 0:36:00.759 lot of illusions as to a President Trump, MAGA more 0:36:00.840 --> 0:36:03.120 generally believe about trade and what they do not believe 0:36:03.120 --> 0:36:04.640 about trade. I think a lot of people look at 0:36:04.640 --> 0:36:06.879 President Trump, they look at him as the so called 0:36:06.960 --> 0:36:09.120 tariff guy, and they say, this guy doesn't believe in trade. 0:36:09.160 --> 0:36:10.240 He doesn't want to trade with anyone. 0:36:10.280 --> 0:36:13.480 He wants every single product, every good, every leg of 0:36:13.520 --> 0:36:16.120 every supply chain to be made here in the United States. 0:36:16.200 --> 0:36:17.040 It's not true. 0:36:17.120 --> 0:36:23.040 What nationalists, realists, what MAGA believes is to oppose these 0:36:23.160 --> 0:36:27.880 multilateral trade boondoggles, these World Trade Organizations style trade deals 0:36:27.880 --> 0:36:30.880 that loop in twenty thirty countries there and you essentially 0:36:31.280 --> 0:36:34.120 at some point lose control over the granular details as 0:36:34.120 --> 0:36:35.200 to what is being traded there. 0:36:35.200 --> 0:36:36.840 What MAGNA supports are. 0:36:36.760 --> 0:36:41.960 Prudential, specific, granular bilateral trade deals. Country A and Country 0:36:42.000 --> 0:36:44.879 B agreed to lower trade barriers in exchange for blah 0:36:44.880 --> 0:36:46.640 blah blah blah blah. That's the sort of thing that 0:36:46.680 --> 0:36:48.600 the US and the UK worked out. So the fact 0:36:48.640 --> 0:36:51.600 that this happened and happened fairly quickly, actually barely over 0:36:51.640 --> 0:36:54.080 a month after so called Liberation Day at the Rosegarn 0:36:54.160 --> 0:36:55.759 the White House there, that actually ought to be an 0:36:55.760 --> 0:36:58.520 incredibly auspicious and positive sign when it comes to other 0:36:58.520 --> 0:36:59.160 countries that. 0:36:59.600 --> 0:37:00.600 Are looking to negotiate. 0:37:00.640 --> 0:37:02.880 Though, by the way, you know, in response to that 0:37:02.920 --> 0:37:05.520 clip that we just heard from from that you know, 0:37:05.560 --> 0:37:08.239 you know, rather upset leftist shall we say there, I 0:37:08.280 --> 0:37:10.120 would like to just say one thing. You know, the 0:37:10.239 --> 0:37:12.840 UK and the US do have a special relationship, but 0:37:12.920 --> 0:37:16.319 the US also got it it's independence from the UK 0:37:16.480 --> 0:37:18.400 over two hundred years ago. And in fact, if you 0:37:18.440 --> 0:37:21.640 go back and look at the American founding, Alexander Hamilton 0:37:21.719 --> 0:37:24.680 published his report on Manufacturer and he presented it to 0:37:24.719 --> 0:37:27.759 Congress as the nation's first Treasury Secretary in seventeen ninety one, 0:37:28.080 --> 0:37:30.719 specifically making the argument that the United States had to 0:37:30.800 --> 0:37:34.560 be trade independent of Britain because otherwise it would not 0:37:34.600 --> 0:37:37.240 be successful nations. So it's actually a very long history 0:37:37.440 --> 0:37:40.120 of America trying to get independent from Britain. There, So 0:37:40.239 --> 0:37:42.399 actually it's probably a bit of a bigger deal from 0:37:42.400 --> 0:37:45.279 a kind of a longer form historical view than this 0:37:45.400 --> 0:37:48.160 kind of you know, hurt left wing commentator would care 0:37:48.200 --> 0:37:48.800 to point out. 0:37:48.640 --> 0:37:53.120 Shall we say, And I'm would say there's plenty of 0:37:53.160 --> 0:37:56.440 other countries, including my own Australia, that would think we 0:37:56.560 --> 0:38:01.799 are as bigger allies and to the US as the 0:38:01.880 --> 0:38:04.720 UK is. So for the UK to get this still first, 0:38:04.880 --> 0:38:08.480 I think we'll be wanting to be next in line 0:38:08.560 --> 0:38:12.000 to strike a deal. Are there other deals that are imminent? 0:38:12.120 --> 0:38:15.280 Are you hearing other countries are close to an agreement? 0:38:16.400 --> 0:38:18.840 Well, Scott be send the tradery secretary. I mean, he 0:38:18.880 --> 0:38:20.880 was in Switzerland this past weekend, so you know, he 0:38:20.960 --> 0:38:25.239 was meeting with the Chinese. Chinese counterparts in Switzerland there. Look, 0:38:25.280 --> 0:38:27.640 I mean Donald Trump put on social media, on truth 0:38:27.719 --> 0:38:30.200 social the White House actually put out a formal official 0:38:30.200 --> 0:38:33.319 statement saying that a trade deal had been reached with China. Now, 0:38:33.360 --> 0:38:35.560 there's not a whole lot in the way of details there, 0:38:35.800 --> 0:38:38.239 but presumably there's something because I mean this came out 0:38:38.320 --> 0:38:40.839 not necessarily just from social media, but the White House 0:38:40.880 --> 0:38:43.279 literally put it on white House dot gov from their 0:38:43.400 --> 0:38:45.000 verified social media accounts there. 0:38:45.160 --> 0:38:46.719 So hopefully we learn more. 0:38:46.800 --> 0:38:48.759 I mean, that's that's probably gonna happen in real time 0:38:48.800 --> 0:38:50.359 here in the next twenty four or forty eight hours 0:38:50.400 --> 0:38:52.759 or so. But it looks like US China could have 0:38:52.840 --> 0:38:55.919 an off ramp to this trade war sooner rather than later, 0:38:56.000 --> 0:38:58.520 which is probably a good thing for consumers. As long 0:38:58.520 --> 0:39:01.880 as Donald Trump and MAGA and America get concessions out 0:39:01.920 --> 0:39:03.560 of it. As long as there's something to actually point 0:39:03.600 --> 0:39:05.840 to and say this is actually a win, then I 0:39:05.920 --> 0:39:07.400 will be optimistic for it. 0:39:07.440 --> 0:39:09.360 But again, the devil will be in the details in 0:39:09.400 --> 0:39:09.680 that one. 0:39:12.160 --> 0:39:16.919 Now we're seeing more leftist officials being arrested. Funnily enough, 0:39:16.960 --> 0:39:19.799 when you break the law, you'll end up in handcuffs. 0:39:20.280 --> 0:39:26.160 Here is Newark Mayor raz Baraka, who was arrested at 0:39:26.239 --> 0:39:30.279 an ICE facility. That's the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement 0:39:30.719 --> 0:39:45.719 detention facility that opened last week. Josh, the mayor, claims 0:39:45.760 --> 0:39:49.959 he did nothing wrong and he's vowing to shut down 0:39:50.040 --> 0:39:51.440 the ICE facility there. 0:39:53.200 --> 0:39:54.759 You know, reader, if I didn't know any better, if 0:39:54.760 --> 0:39:58.200 I saw this clip in a vacuum of a government 0:39:58.239 --> 0:40:03.680 official storming, aren't storming a federal immigration facility there with 0:40:03.840 --> 0:40:07.600 anarcic intention, with the intention of undermining and subverting and 0:40:07.680 --> 0:40:11.040 dare I say, seeking to on a smaller scale, potentially 0:40:11.120 --> 0:40:14.399 overthrow one facet of the federal government. You know, if 0:40:14.400 --> 0:40:17.919 I were being a little bit more, you know, shall 0:40:17.960 --> 0:40:20.520 we say a little a little more diabolical. I might 0:40:20.560 --> 0:40:22.279 say this is that this looks a heck of a 0:40:22.320 --> 0:40:25.120 lot like an insurrection, because that's basically what it is. 0:40:25.280 --> 0:40:28.719 I mean, this is essentially a blue state mini insurrection there. 0:40:29.040 --> 0:40:31.920 And I mean, you know who the hecker of the Democrats, 0:40:31.920 --> 0:40:33.680 who the hecker of the left this year? You know, 0:40:33.760 --> 0:40:36.080 to say that Donald Trump and the whole January sixth 0:40:36.160 --> 0:40:38.640 and know this was kind of a republic threatening insurrection. 0:40:39.000 --> 0:40:42.560 I mean, what, just what incredible hypocrisy. But the worst 0:40:42.600 --> 0:40:45.279 part about it to me is that this says so 0:40:45.440 --> 0:40:49.160 much about the actual state of the politics of the 0:40:49.160 --> 0:40:52.080 Democratic Party, meaning what plays politically well for them? What 0:40:52.160 --> 0:40:54.200 is politically for the fact that the mayor of Newark 0:40:54.280 --> 0:40:56.560 saw fit to do this there, this means that he 0:40:56.680 --> 0:40:59.160 thinks this is politically beneficial because that guy wants to 0:40:59.239 --> 0:41:02.960 run for governor Jersey. He used this as a stepping 0:41:03.000 --> 0:41:06.080 stone for a state ride run. What does it say 0:41:06.280 --> 0:41:09.719 that a stunt like this, an insurrectionist stunt seeking to 0:41:09.719 --> 0:41:12.959 get arrested, a photo op and handcuffs that apparently makes 0:41:13.000 --> 0:41:15.319 you a star in today's Democratic Party? What does that 0:41:15.360 --> 0:41:17.719 say about that party? Obviously nothing particularly good. 0:41:17.719 --> 0:41:18.279 That's for sure. 0:41:20.960 --> 0:41:24.400 I could not believe the antics afterwards, Josh, because he 0:41:24.520 --> 0:41:28.360 was on every network playing the victim, pretending like this 0:41:28.640 --> 0:41:34.080 was political persecution. As you said, he invaded that facility, 0:41:34.239 --> 0:41:37.560 refused to leave. He was given plenty of choices and 0:41:37.640 --> 0:41:41.360 plenty of chances to actually get out of there without 0:41:41.400 --> 0:41:44.799 being arrested, and he refused. I mean, what, really, what 0:41:45.160 --> 0:41:47.960 other choice did authorities have in those circumstances. 0:41:49.040 --> 0:41:51.280 They had none. I mean, this guy wanted to be arrested. 0:41:51.320 --> 0:41:54.799 He literally had every intention of going there and being 0:41:54.880 --> 0:41:57.120 arrested for the cameras because he knew that he would 0:41:57.120 --> 0:41:59.759 get off their two tier assistant adjustice. Again, it's newer 0:41:59.840 --> 0:42:03.560 New Jersey. It's a very blue jurisdiction there, Democrat governor 0:42:03.600 --> 0:42:07.440 and on and on there. But again, he wanted this showdown. 0:42:07.560 --> 0:42:10.240 He literally wanted this because he thought that would play 0:42:10.280 --> 0:42:12.239 well for state wide voters. By the way, New Jersey 0:42:12.280 --> 0:42:14.640 is actually a politically interesting state. New Jersey's actually not 0:42:14.719 --> 0:42:16.520 quite as blue as people think it is. In fact, 0:42:17.040 --> 0:42:19.319 if you look at the twenty twenty four election, Donald 0:42:19.360 --> 0:42:22.960 Trump versus Kamala Harris, Kamala Harris wins that state. I 0:42:23.160 --> 0:42:25.640 forgot the exact margin, but it's roughly five points five 0:42:25.760 --> 0:42:27.799 five and a half points, which actually is really not 0:42:27.840 --> 0:42:30.320 a particularly wide margin at all, And in fact, Republicans 0:42:30.320 --> 0:42:33.480 have actually been making inroads in the New Jersey state 0:42:33.640 --> 0:42:37.040 legislature as some of these suburbs and ex serbs of Philadelphia, 0:42:37.080 --> 0:42:39.279 New York City trend a little bit rhtter in a 0:42:39.280 --> 0:42:41.360 more maga direction. There, there's a lot of people speculating 0:42:41.360 --> 0:42:43.600 that New Jersey could actually be in play at a 0:42:43.600 --> 0:42:46.480 presidential level in twenty eight or twenty thirty two at 0:42:46.480 --> 0:42:48.759 the latest. So you know, the mayor, you know, you know, 0:42:48.760 --> 0:42:50.799 the mayor might think that he is doing this as 0:42:50.840 --> 0:42:53.359 a as a political stunts to benefit his career there 0:42:53.360 --> 0:42:55.640 in the Garden States, but he might actually be in 0:42:55.680 --> 0:42:57.080 for a rough surprise, believe it or not. 0:43:00.080 --> 0:43:02.880 Thank you so much for your time tonight, My pleasure 0:43:03.160 --> 0:43:03.759 Coming up. 0:43:03.840 --> 0:43:07.840 The overprivileged child of a Hollywood star among those arrested 0:43:07.920 --> 0:43:11.560 at Columbia University, Kinsey Schofield, is up next. 0:43:22.040 --> 0:43:23.440 Welcome back joining me now. 0:43:23.600 --> 0:43:28.359 Celebrity and royal commentator Kinsey's Schofield. Kinsey, the daughter of 0:43:28.520 --> 0:43:34.080 Maggie Gillenhall Gillenhall, Ramona, has been arrested during the chaotic 0:43:34.239 --> 0:43:38.359 anti Israel protests at Columbia University last week. She has 0:43:38.480 --> 0:43:43.080 reportedly been given a desk appearance ticket for criminal trespassing. 0:43:44.239 --> 0:43:47.120 Yeah, nepotism is so en rate now, Rita, It's not 0:43:47.360 --> 0:43:50.200 just a mug shot anymore.

I mean, the whole thing was so absurd. 0:44:41.960 --> 0:44:43.919 Who's she kidding with these antics? 0:44:44.880 --> 0:44:45.280 Okay? 0:44:45.800 --> 0:44:49.120 Hilaria now claims in her new book that her fluctuating 0:44:49.160 --> 0:44:53.759 Spanish accent is due to a medical condition ADHD in dyslexia. 0:44:53.840 --> 0:44:55.400 Oh, I have to ches. 0:44:56.640 --> 0:45:01.960 Marco well before I would ever believe this.

There's been a lot of 0:45:16.600 --> 0:45:22.320 conjecture about Meghan Markle's podcast appearance with her good friend. 0:45:22.440 --> 0:45:25.800 Particularly about this point of. 0:45:25.680 --> 0:45:30.520 The interview where she appeared to be wiping away nonexistent tears. 0:45:30.640 --> 0:45:31.480 Have a look. 0:45:40.920 --> 0:45:45.680 Now, different commentators have zoomed in on her face and 0:45:45.760 --> 0:45:48.040 they say they can detect no tears. 0:45:48.400 --> 0:45:49.959 So what was she wiping away? 0:45:50.120 --> 0:45:50.400 In ZI? 0:45:51.400 --> 0:45:54.359 This is so disappointing coming from Megan Michael, who has 0:45:54.400 --> 0:45:58.320 gloated in past interviews that she just needs three seconds 0:45:58.480 --> 0:46:00.600 to secrete a fake tears out. 0:46:00.400 --> 0:46:01.480 Of her left eye. 0:46:01.480 --> 0:46:05.240 You'll notice her in Queen Elizabeth's funeral that there's only 0:46:05.320 --> 0:46:09.480 any type of saltwater discharge exiting her left eyeball throughout 0:46:09.520 --> 0:46:13.160 the entire event. She's just being lazy here. I think 0:46:13.360 --> 0:46:16.760 she probably doesn't want to ruin that electric spraytnd of hers. 0:46:18.920 --> 0:46:22.520 Well, yeah, apparently it was a makeup free appearance. But yeah, 0:46:22.600 --> 0:46:25.880 I think her acting skills may be slipping because I 0:46:25.960 --> 0:46:27.160 did not see a tear there. 0:46:27.200 --> 0:46:28.279 Maybe if I. 0:46:28.239 --> 0:46:31.920 Looked closer, one would appear, but I don't think so. 0:46:32.440 --> 0:46:36.520 Now the Sussexes have copped it from comedian Colin Just 0:46:36.719 --> 0:46:40.480 on Saturday Night Live. He's showing that one of the 0:46:40.520 --> 0:46:43.680 conditions of Trump's new trade deal with the UK is 0:46:43.719 --> 0:46:45.880 that Harry and Meghan have to go back. 0:46:46.120 --> 0:46:47.360 It's pretty cruel, Kinsey. 0:46:48.600 --> 0:46:51.080 Look, there's no way President Trump would accept that deal. 0:46:51.200 --> 0:46:54.080 He's called Megan Markle nasty and says he feels sorry 0:46:54.120 --> 0:46:56.160 for Prince Harry because his wife is a lot to 0:46:56.200 --> 0:46:58.680 deal with, you know. Trump says he hates the way 0:46:58.719 --> 0:47:00.880 that Harry dealt with the Lake and judging by his 0:47:00.960 --> 0:47:04.359 friendliness towards King Charles, he won't appreciate the way Harry 0:47:04.440 --> 0:47:07.839 continues to run his mouth against the monarchy today and 0:47:07.880 --> 0:47:10.839 say what you want about the Trump dynasty, but they 0:47:10.840 --> 0:47:13.640 are incredibly close and loyal to one another. 0:47:16.160 --> 0:47:18.400 Now more troubles for Paul Megan. 0:47:18.680 --> 0:47:22.160 She has been threatened with a ten million dollar lawsuit 0:47:22.239 --> 0:47:27.320 after a woman suffered catastrophic burns allegedly from the Duchess's 0:47:27.560 --> 0:47:30.000 do it yourself bath salt recipe. 0:47:30.000 --> 0:47:32.239 This is a recipe. 0:47:31.719 --> 0:47:36.120 That Kinsey featured on her Netflix's show What else can 0:47:36.120 --> 0:47:36.960 you tell me about this? 0:47:37.560 --> 0:47:37.640 Well? 0:47:37.840 --> 0:47:38.279 I could tell you. 0:47:38.360 --> 0:47:40.600 I spoke to two attorneys about this. Both said this 0:47:40.640 --> 0:47:44.800 potential lawsuit could no pun intended have legs. Attorney Christopher Melcher, 0:47:44.800 --> 0:47:48.520 who's ally based on Hollywood, here that Netflix could have 0:47:48.640 --> 0:47:51.360 and probably should have, put a disclaimer on the screen 0:47:51.440 --> 0:47:54.279 to save their own skin, saying, you know, consult a 0:47:54.320 --> 0:47:59.320 doctor or seek medical advice if you're looking for something specific. 0:48:00.120 --> 0:48:02.239 Meghan foamd this is crazy, he said. She's willing to 0:48:02.280 --> 0:48:06.160 resolve the matter without litigation if a financial settlement can 0:48:06.200 --> 0:48:08.280 be reached. Feels like a little bit of a shakedown, 0:48:08.560 --> 0:48:10.920 but if her demands are not met, she intends to 0:48:11.000 --> 0:48:14.120 launch a lawsuit seeking settlement damages of a minimum of 0:48:14.160 --> 0:48:17.640 seventy five thousand dollars to cover medical expenses. 0:48:19.760 --> 0:48:21.960 Ah, this is going to be fascinating because if there 0:48:22.000 --> 0:48:24.080 is some sort of a settlement, I expect to see 0:48:24.080 --> 0:48:27.200 a lot of other people coming forward with their own stories. 0:48:28.000 --> 0:48:30.600 You don't want to incentivize that kind of behavior if 0:48:30.640 --> 0:48:35.240 it's not genuine before you go, Kinsey acted. Tom Cruise 0:48:35.280 --> 0:48:39.200 has shut down questions about Donald Trump's movie tariffs. At 0:48:39.239 --> 0:48:42.480 a recent press event in Soul for Mission Impossible, the 0:48:42.520 --> 0:48:46.560 Final Reckoning, he told the Tends that he'd rather answer 0:48:46.640 --> 0:48:48.040 questions about the movie. 0:48:49.680 --> 0:48:52.120 This is why I think people like Tom Cruise, why 0:48:52.120 --> 0:48:54.680 he has this longevity when it comes to his career, 0:48:54.680 --> 0:48:56.560 because he's like, I'm not going to get political. I 0:48:56.600 --> 0:48:58.600 want to focus on the facts. I'm here to promote 0:48:58.600 --> 0:49:02.040 my movie. And I think that that's why his career 0:49:02.080 --> 0:49:03.120 is as long as it is. 0:49:05.400 --> 0:49:08.680 He's had plenty of bad press, Kinsey, particularly with his 0:49:08.800 --> 0:49:13.560 personal life scientology, but he's still a box. 0:49:13.280 --> 0:49:14.879 Office hit, and I think you're right. 0:49:15.040 --> 0:49:17.319 Part of it is he does big films, but part 0:49:17.360 --> 0:49:20.960 of it is he steers clear of politics. He lets 0:49:21.200 --> 0:49:25.040 other people worry about that so he doesn't alienate half 0:49:25.040 --> 0:49:29.239 the population with his political views, whatever they may be. 0:49:29.440 --> 0:49:32.560 Kin Ziscofield, always a pleasure. Thanks for your time tonight, 0:49:33.239 --> 0:49:36.960 and that's it from me. Up Next is Newsnight. I'll 0:49:36.960 --> 0:49:38.520 see you at eleven tomorrow night.
