<v Speaker 1>On scoring lives Ostrodia. This is the Wider Panalty Show.

0:00:07.680 --> 0:00:10.280
<v Speaker 2>Good evening and welcome to the Riata Panety Show. We

0:00:10.360 --> 0:00:13.440
<v Speaker 2>have a packed program for you tonight. The best minds

<v Speaker 2>in the business, Douglas Murray and Battia Unga Sagon will.

0:00:17.200 --> 0:00:18.920
<v Speaker 3>Be with me shortly. Well, look at the.

0:00:19.040 --> 0:00:23.799
<v Speaker 2>Victorian town that claims to have banned former Premier Dan Andrews, Tina.

0:00:23.600 --> 0:00:25.040
<v Speaker 3>McQueen and Priy mcsweeden.

0:00:25.079 --> 0:00:30.200
<v Speaker 2>With the day's top headlines including Jackie Lamby's latest on

0:00:30.320 --> 0:00:33.400
<v Speaker 2>air meltdown, I'm not gonna believe that. Later in the hour,

0:00:33.520 --> 0:00:37.200
<v Speaker 2>the popular Australian comic who has declared that all vegans

0:00:37.240 --> 0:00:38.160
<v Speaker 2>are idiots.

0:00:38.600 --> 0:00:40.600
<v Speaker 3>He'll be here to explain himself.

0:00:40.720 --> 0:00:44.400
<v Speaker 2>And Left is Losing It features old favorite Dylan Mulvaaney.

0:00:44.720 --> 0:00:47.280
<v Speaker 4>Oh my god, it's D oneenty ninety six for being

0:00:47.280 --> 0:00:48.880
<v Speaker 4>a girl. It's your three and that's me on a

0:00:48.920 --> 0:00:50.080
<v Speaker 4>billboard in Times Square.

0:00:50.800 --> 0:00:55.120
<v Speaker 2>But First Treasurer Jim Chalmers handed down Labour's pre election budget.

0:00:55.200 --> 0:00:58.160
<v Speaker 2>It's a bit of a spenderthon to soften.

0:00:57.960 --> 0:01:00.280
<v Speaker 3>Voters up ahead of the election. The large es.

0:01:00.400 --> 0:01:04.120
<v Speaker 2>Includes another round of one hundred and fifty dollars energy bill,

0:01:04.240 --> 0:01:08.160
<v Speaker 2>rebates and tax cuts of around five dollars per week

0:01:08.200 --> 0:01:11.360
<v Speaker 2>for the average worker. This is a budget aimed at

0:01:11.520 --> 0:01:15.640
<v Speaker 2>buying the votes of low information voters. Watch how the

0:01:15.760 --> 0:01:20.000
<v Speaker 2>Assistant Minister to the Prime Minister, Patrick Gorman promoted the

0:01:20.040 --> 0:01:22.400
<v Speaker 2>budget on his social media accounts.

0:01:23.959 --> 0:01:27.880
<v Speaker 3>I'm so excited about the budget. Do you you're excited?

0:01:28.440 --> 0:01:30.560
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I'm getting one hundred and fifty bucks off my

0:01:30.640 --> 0:01:31.559
<v Speaker 5>power bill.

0:01:31.880 --> 0:01:33.280
<v Speaker 1>You are What else?

0:01:33.319 --> 0:01:34.400
<v Speaker 3>Are you excited about?

0:01:37.000 --> 0:01:41.000
<v Speaker 6>The Medicare all of the Medicare, the Buyer Australia.

0:01:40.480 --> 0:01:45.400
<v Speaker 4>Stuff and the three day childcare guarantee you have kids?

0:01:45.720 --> 0:01:48.200
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, Leo and Ruby.

0:01:48.680 --> 0:01:53.840
<v Speaker 8>Of course because because we both were both about the budget.

0:01:54.040 --> 0:01:57.360
<v Speaker 2>Yes, we're all very excited about years of deficits and

0:01:57.440 --> 0:02:00.720
<v Speaker 2>being in over what a trillion dollars in debt. Joining

0:02:00.800 --> 0:02:04.080
<v Speaker 2>me now for more Sky News contributors Tina McQueen and

0:02:04.160 --> 0:02:08.800
<v Speaker 2>Prue McSween. Tina, the Coalition is opposing this tax change.

0:02:08.840 --> 0:02:12.080
<v Speaker 2>They're saying seventy cents a day is not going to

0:02:12.120 --> 0:02:14.079
<v Speaker 2>do much to help the average Australian.

0:02:15.000 --> 0:02:17.720
<v Speaker 8>Look, it's so insignificant. It's really not going to make

0:02:17.720 --> 0:02:19.799
<v Speaker 8>a difference. I mean five dollars a week and then

0:02:19.880 --> 0:02:22.360
<v Speaker 8>ten dollars a week twelve months down the track. I

0:02:22.400 --> 0:02:24.680
<v Speaker 8>don't think this is going to win open election and

0:02:24.720 --> 0:02:26.920
<v Speaker 8>the rebates they've offered, I mean, the energy bills are

0:02:26.960 --> 0:02:33.320
<v Speaker 8>going so high Rita, they're not really helping the average person.

0:02:33.560 --> 0:02:35.760
<v Speaker 8>You're simply going to ask yourself are you better off

0:02:35.800 --> 0:02:38.520
<v Speaker 8>than you were when this government first came in? And

0:02:38.560 --> 0:02:43.079
<v Speaker 8>the answer is fundamentally no. So I hope that Dunton

0:02:43.120 --> 0:02:45.480
<v Speaker 8>comes out with some bold policies that will make a

0:02:45.480 --> 0:02:48.919
<v Speaker 8>difference because the Treasurer's delivery is not going to win

0:02:48.960 --> 0:02:52.120
<v Speaker 8>it for Labor with these policies.

0:02:54.320 --> 0:02:57.320
<v Speaker 2>But Proue, I do wonder whether the Labor government has

0:02:57.360 --> 0:03:01.880
<v Speaker 2>set a trap for the Coalition given this teeny tiny

0:03:01.960 --> 0:03:06.040
<v Speaker 2>tax cut, and if the Coalition don't back it, they'll

0:03:06.080 --> 0:03:08.960
<v Speaker 2>say they're standing in the way of tax cuts for

0:03:09.000 --> 0:03:12.560
<v Speaker 2>the average Australian, even though those tax cuts we know

0:03:12.600 --> 0:03:16.000
<v Speaker 2>amount to seventy cents a day. It's not a great

0:03:16.040 --> 0:03:18.600
<v Speaker 2>look for the Coalition to be opposing any sort of

0:03:18.639 --> 0:03:19.240
<v Speaker 2>tax cut.

0:03:19.960 --> 0:03:22.520
<v Speaker 9>Well, they need to be mounting a proper argument. This

0:03:22.639 --> 0:03:26.840
<v Speaker 9>is really a come to Jesus moment for the electorate,

0:03:27.120 --> 0:03:31.919
<v Speaker 9>where people I think are grasping that all of these

0:03:31.960 --> 0:03:38.040
<v Speaker 9>solutions are manipula, political manipulations by government via the government,

0:03:38.600 --> 0:03:41.800
<v Speaker 9>and in fact they're ignoring the elephant.

0:03:41.320 --> 0:03:41.800
<v Speaker 3>In the room.

0:03:41.800 --> 0:03:44.680
<v Speaker 9>And the elephant in the room is the fact that

0:03:44.720 --> 0:03:49.000
<v Speaker 9>their energy plan has created this whole mess. The cost

0:03:49.040 --> 0:03:52.360
<v Speaker 9>of living can be greatly attributed to it, and the

0:03:52.360 --> 0:03:55.040
<v Speaker 9>cost to manufacturing, to industry.

0:03:54.600 --> 0:03:55.280
<v Speaker 1>To jobs.

0:03:55.560 --> 0:03:57.440
<v Speaker 3>It's all back to the energy.

0:03:57.880 --> 0:04:02.040
<v Speaker 9>And the point is that unless Dutton and the Libs

0:04:02.320 --> 0:04:06.040
<v Speaker 9>grasp this and don't get sidebarred by all these little

0:04:06.080 --> 0:04:10.240
<v Speaker 9>facile arguments. You know, at the moment, Charmers is paying

0:04:10.320 --> 0:04:16.159
<v Speaker 9>violin politics, is justifying decades of deficits with oh, you know,

0:04:16.600 --> 0:04:20.920
<v Speaker 9>it's social you know justice. What's her saying, we're ignoring

0:04:20.960 --> 0:04:25.200
<v Speaker 9>our responsibility if we don't pay these you know this what.

0:04:25.360 --> 0:04:26.560
<v Speaker 3>Bribery to people.

0:04:27.000 --> 0:04:29.640
<v Speaker 9>So I think that we have to really focus on

0:04:29.720 --> 0:04:34.520
<v Speaker 9>what's going on and energy is the real issue about

0:04:34.560 --> 0:04:37.599
<v Speaker 9>costs of living, and Dutton's got to get real about

0:04:38.120 --> 0:04:41.600
<v Speaker 9>and be brave about saying net zero is a joke

0:04:42.279 --> 0:04:45.719
<v Speaker 9>and we need to put our money into gas and

0:04:45.880 --> 0:04:48.000
<v Speaker 9>you know coal of course and COMMTA.

0:04:48.160 --> 0:04:50.560
<v Speaker 8>I think I think the public will forgive the Coalition

0:04:50.640 --> 0:04:53.279
<v Speaker 8>for opposing these tax cuts if like Prue says, Duntet

0:04:53.320 --> 0:04:55.800
<v Speaker 8>comes out with something bold that makes these tax cuts

0:04:55.839 --> 0:04:58.240
<v Speaker 8>looks absolutely ridiculous. So I think that's the key.

0:05:00.160 --> 0:05:00.680
<v Speaker 3>That's the thing.

0:05:00.720 --> 0:05:03.279
<v Speaker 2>You have to come up with some alternative plan. You

0:05:03.320 --> 0:05:06.080
<v Speaker 2>can't just say we're not labor elect us. You have

0:05:06.160 --> 0:05:09.640
<v Speaker 2>to actually give us something to back and walking away

0:05:09.640 --> 0:05:14.200
<v Speaker 2>from net zero, walking away from Paris is a game changer.

0:05:14.320 --> 0:05:16.120
<v Speaker 3>But are they going to be brave enough to even

0:05:16.240 --> 0:05:17.160
<v Speaker 3>go down that road?

0:05:17.560 --> 0:05:17.760
<v Speaker 1>Now?

0:05:17.800 --> 0:05:21.880
<v Speaker 2>For some early lefties losing it? Content courtesy of Tasmanian

0:05:21.960 --> 0:05:26.240
<v Speaker 2>Senator Jackie Lamby, who gave us this extraordinary performance on

0:05:26.320 --> 0:05:30.200
<v Speaker 2>morning television. Here she is with Shadow Finance Minister Jane

0:05:30.279 --> 0:05:35.320
<v Speaker 2>Hume on the Sunrise program this morning, becoming a tad emotional.

0:05:35.560 --> 0:05:37.400
<v Speaker 10>You took a lot of my mates out over that

0:05:37.480 --> 0:05:40.719
<v Speaker 10>nine years, and you spent twenty billion dollars of tax

0:05:40.800 --> 0:05:44.200
<v Speaker 10>payers money to consultancy firms. Are we going back to

0:05:44.240 --> 0:05:47.680
<v Speaker 10>those days, Jane? Because veterans want to know that this morning.

0:05:48.080 --> 0:05:50.320
<v Speaker 10>Are you going back and moving those public service to

0:05:50.360 --> 0:05:54.240
<v Speaker 10>are finally finding their seat over such complex medical issues?

0:05:54.400 --> 0:05:55.960
<v Speaker 3>Are you going to cut the guts?

0:05:56.200 --> 0:05:59.560
<v Speaker 10>Are going to contract.

0:05:59.000 --> 0:05:59.839
<v Speaker 3>That out again?

0:06:00.080 --> 0:06:02.719
<v Speaker 2>Yes, Jane, None of us near precisely what she was

0:06:02.760 --> 0:06:07.200
<v Speaker 2>talking about, but there was more, more historyonics more hyperbole.

0:06:07.960 --> 0:06:10.279
<v Speaker 2>As Jackie Lamby defended Labour's budget.

0:06:10.680 --> 0:06:15.000
<v Speaker 10>Jackie, no, dear, because you don't have a plan of attack, Jane.

0:06:15.120 --> 0:06:18.240
<v Speaker 10>All I've heard out of you with this budget is negative, negative, negative,

0:06:18.400 --> 0:06:21.000
<v Speaker 10>But you have no answers. What is the coal issue

0:06:21.040 --> 0:06:24.360
<v Speaker 10>to the state of Seriously, what is.

0:06:24.320 --> 0:06:25.440
<v Speaker 3>In your budget paper?

0:06:25.800 --> 0:06:29.720
<v Speaker 10>Apart from you spending three hundred and sixty billion dollars

0:06:30.040 --> 0:06:33.039
<v Speaker 10>on nuclear power plant that is completely going to blow

0:06:33.080 --> 0:06:35.719
<v Speaker 10>out of proportion. So let's be conservative and say that's

0:06:35.760 --> 0:06:38.080
<v Speaker 10>going to cost five hundred billion and that is the

0:06:38.080 --> 0:06:40.640
<v Speaker 10>best plan of attack, the only you come out with.

0:06:41.960 --> 0:06:43.440
<v Speaker 3>Jane Hume, once again, I.

0:06:43.400 --> 0:06:44.960
<v Speaker 10>Want to get back to those public servants because I

0:06:45.000 --> 0:06:46.880
<v Speaker 10>want to know how many public servants you are going

0:06:46.880 --> 0:06:48.800
<v Speaker 10>to get rid of in Tasmania, Because most of those

0:06:48.800 --> 0:06:51.920
<v Speaker 10>public servants, Darling, are not sitting here in Canberra, They're

0:06:51.960 --> 0:06:54.839
<v Speaker 10>not sitting there. How many are you taking from Tasmania today?

0:06:55.120 --> 0:06:58.000
<v Speaker 2>Wowy, yeah, proof, What can you say about that?

0:06:58.760 --> 0:07:02.000
<v Speaker 9>Well, she's sounding more more unhinged. Look, no one doubts

0:07:02.000 --> 0:07:05.920
<v Speaker 9>her passion and concern about veterans, and many of us

0:07:05.920 --> 0:07:08.599
<v Speaker 9>support that but I don't know if she partied a

0:07:08.640 --> 0:07:11.720
<v Speaker 9>bit hard after the budget or you know what has happened.

0:07:11.760 --> 0:07:16.280
<v Speaker 9>Maybe she's feeling the pressure of you know, politics. But really,

0:07:16.800 --> 0:07:20.040
<v Speaker 9>I mean, she didn't even give the Dutton a chance

0:07:20.120 --> 0:07:22.800
<v Speaker 9>to respond. We know, we all think that Dutton should

0:07:22.800 --> 0:07:26.640
<v Speaker 9>have been announcing policies earlier. But to go on as

0:07:26.640 --> 0:07:29.840
<v Speaker 9>she did, she just sounded really like a mad woman.

0:07:29.840 --> 0:07:32.480
<v Speaker 2>All of us, whatever side of politics you're on, can

0:07:32.520 --> 0:07:34.880
<v Speaker 2>feel a little bit of sympathy for Jane Hume heres

0:07:35.160 --> 0:07:38.600
<v Speaker 2>in this clip she looks up to the sky and

0:07:38.760 --> 0:07:40.400
<v Speaker 2>praise for Heaven to help her.

0:07:40.520 --> 0:07:45.200
<v Speaker 3>Heaven help us, you know what it is, And that's

0:07:45.240 --> 0:07:45.680
<v Speaker 3>really rude.

0:07:45.720 --> 0:07:45.920
<v Speaker 7>Joane.

0:07:45.920 --> 0:07:48.720
<v Speaker 10>And those independents, those toils standing are actually really performs

0:07:48.760 --> 0:07:50.720
<v Speaker 10>if they're bon in, so give them a goally one

0:07:50.800 --> 0:07:53.720
<v Speaker 10>woman to another that was not polite. Yes they have

0:07:54.200 --> 0:07:56.200
<v Speaker 10>so I haven't looked at their you know that you

0:07:56.280 --> 0:08:00.680
<v Speaker 10>people don't like them, okay, so you know there's just

0:08:00.720 --> 0:08:03.120
<v Speaker 10>no need for that they perform really well, let's be honest.

0:08:03.120 --> 0:08:04.200
<v Speaker 10>You just don't want them in there.

0:08:04.480 --> 0:08:05.520
<v Speaker 3>That's really frightening.

0:08:06.000 --> 0:08:07.600
<v Speaker 10>There is you know what, there is a place for

0:08:07.680 --> 0:08:09.720
<v Speaker 10>every ordinary Australian in this Parliament.

0:08:09.920 --> 0:08:14.280
<v Speaker 2>Wow, Now she is passionately defending the tills and it's

0:08:14.320 --> 0:08:19.200
<v Speaker 2>frightening if if they're being criticized Tina, I'm having trouble

0:08:19.560 --> 0:08:22.520
<v Speaker 2>figuring out where she's coming from.

0:08:22.640 --> 0:08:24.640
<v Speaker 3>Jackie Lamby, she seems to.

0:08:24.560 --> 0:08:28.320
<v Speaker 2>Be a label attack dog these days.

0:08:28.920 --> 0:08:32.600
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, she's certainly, she certainly is. I mean to say

0:08:32.640 --> 0:08:36.120
<v Speaker 8>the Teals, well, they've done very well in supporting labor,

0:08:36.200 --> 0:08:38.960
<v Speaker 8>that's one aspect that's performed very well in and the

0:08:39.000 --> 0:08:42.400
<v Speaker 8>Green Parliament and the Greeds exactly, So I think we

0:08:42.480 --> 0:08:44.320
<v Speaker 8>need to constantly point that out.

0:08:44.320 --> 0:08:46.120
<v Speaker 1>There are so they are so far.

0:08:45.920 --> 0:08:49.000
<v Speaker 8>From independent minded politicians at ridiculous.

0:08:49.160 --> 0:08:50.880
<v Speaker 3>Look, I feel a bit sorry for Jackie.

0:08:50.960 --> 0:08:51.440
<v Speaker 1>I do think.

0:08:51.440 --> 0:08:54.400
<v Speaker 8>Look, she takes her politics very seriously. She's a very

0:08:54.440 --> 0:08:59.280
<v Speaker 8>passionate and popular in Tasmania. But I think she has.

0:08:59.120 --> 0:08:59.920
<v Speaker 3>To chill a little.

0:09:00.120 --> 0:09:03.200
<v Speaker 8>Look at the voting records and you know, look at

0:09:03.200 --> 0:09:05.120
<v Speaker 8>both sides and see he's going to do the best

0:09:05.200 --> 0:09:07.040
<v Speaker 8>for Tasmania in the coming election.

0:09:09.920 --> 0:09:13.520
<v Speaker 2>And I think we have to think about our entire

0:09:13.600 --> 0:09:18.040
<v Speaker 2>democracy sometimes when we see clips like that, what did

0:09:18.080 --> 0:09:23.360
<v Speaker 2>Paul Keating call the Senate unrepresentative swill and Tasmanians, I

0:09:23.360 --> 0:09:25.680
<v Speaker 2>don't know, consider your vote a little bit more carefully

0:09:25.720 --> 0:09:29.680
<v Speaker 2>next time around. Now former Victorian Premier Dan Andrews is

0:09:29.720 --> 0:09:32.960
<v Speaker 2>facing even more bands and boycosts. This time he's been

0:09:33.440 --> 0:09:38.280
<v Speaker 2>banned from a whole town Bunderlong located on the Murraying Country, Victoria.

0:09:38.360 --> 0:09:42.080
<v Speaker 2>He was reportedly booted from the bunderalong Tavern and the

0:09:42.120 --> 0:09:46.040
<v Speaker 2>local tradees of black listed him as well, but a

0:09:46.160 --> 0:09:50.600
<v Speaker 2>spokesman for Dad Andrews has said that the premier never

0:09:50.640 --> 0:09:52.920
<v Speaker 2>even visited the pub, so there's a little bit of

0:09:53.280 --> 0:09:57.120
<v Speaker 2>confusion about what's happened there. This comes after Dan Andrews

0:09:57.200 --> 0:10:00.920
<v Speaker 2>was banned from the trendy South Melbourne pub Mro's, and

0:10:01.360 --> 0:10:04.720
<v Speaker 2>he's also faced a golf club band down on the

0:10:04.720 --> 0:10:09.360
<v Speaker 2>Mornington Peninsula, with members objecting to his potential membership at

0:10:09.440 --> 0:10:15.920
<v Speaker 2>Portsea Golf Club. Tina, are you surprised that Australians have

0:10:16.080 --> 0:10:19.559
<v Speaker 2>not forgiven and forgotten what happened during the COVID era?

0:10:20.480 --> 0:10:21.840
<v Speaker 3>But it seems to be just Dan.

0:10:22.040 --> 0:10:25.439
<v Speaker 2>I'm not hearing these sort of stories about Anastasia Palichet

0:10:25.880 --> 0:10:27.800
<v Speaker 2>or Mark McGowan.

0:10:27.880 --> 0:10:31.600
<v Speaker 3>It still just be Dan Andrews is copying it well.

0:10:31.720 --> 0:10:34.839
<v Speaker 8>Dan went the extra mile of Victoria must admit, But

0:10:34.880 --> 0:10:37.440
<v Speaker 8>what confuses me why didn't they do this when he

0:10:37.520 --> 0:10:40.560
<v Speaker 8>was in government. Why didn't they push back, ban him,

0:10:40.760 --> 0:10:42.520
<v Speaker 8>vote him out. I mean, it's all very good to

0:10:42.559 --> 0:10:45.400
<v Speaker 8>do after the fact, where there are no consequences for him.

0:10:45.400 --> 0:10:48.240
<v Speaker 8>He still gets his pension, he still gets everything entitled

0:10:48.280 --> 0:10:50.520
<v Speaker 8>to him. They should have done this when he was

0:10:50.559 --> 0:10:53.720
<v Speaker 8>in power and really sent a strong message that these

0:10:53.760 --> 0:10:55.200
<v Speaker 8>actions should never happen again.

0:10:57.880 --> 0:11:01.880
<v Speaker 2>Well, I think those actions were sadly hugely popular at

0:11:01.960 --> 0:11:02.679
<v Speaker 2>the time.

0:11:02.440 --> 0:11:03.800
<v Speaker 3>As they were around the country.

0:11:03.800 --> 0:11:05.839
<v Speaker 2>There was a few of us speaking out, but we

0:11:05.840 --> 0:11:09.400
<v Speaker 2>were certainly sadly in the minority back then.

0:11:09.679 --> 0:11:11.360
<v Speaker 3>But it's good to.

0:11:11.280 --> 0:11:13.319
<v Speaker 2>Be on the right side of history because I think

0:11:13.360 --> 0:11:17.920
<v Speaker 2>that all those positions have been vindicated. Primcsween Tina McQueen,

0:11:18.000 --> 0:11:19.640
<v Speaker 2>it's always always a pleasure.

0:11:19.679 --> 0:11:20.720
<v Speaker 3>Thanks for your time tonight.

0:11:21.679 --> 0:11:25.120
<v Speaker 2>Joining me now is a best selling author. Douglas Murray's

0:11:25.200 --> 0:11:28.800
<v Speaker 2>latest book on democracies and death Cults, Israel and the

0:11:28.800 --> 0:11:32.880
<v Speaker 2>Future of Civilization will be released in April. You don't

0:11:32.880 --> 0:11:36.000
<v Speaker 2>want to miss that, Douglas. Let's start with the state

0:11:36.080 --> 0:11:38.800
<v Speaker 2>of the Democrats in the US. While much of the

0:11:38.920 --> 0:11:43.439
<v Speaker 2>media is preoccupied with twenty four to seven anti Trump hysteria.

0:11:43.520 --> 0:11:47.280
<v Speaker 2>The polling is showing Trump voters are pretty happy at

0:11:47.280 --> 0:11:51.280
<v Speaker 2>the moment, but the Democrats are in peril. Their approval

0:11:51.360 --> 0:11:55.240
<v Speaker 2>ratings are at record lows twenty seven percent. It's a

0:11:55.440 --> 0:12:00.160
<v Speaker 2>grim state of affairs with Democrats facing historic discontent with

0:12:00.200 --> 0:12:03.240
<v Speaker 2>their base, and as you can see in the graph,

0:12:03.280 --> 0:12:07.679
<v Speaker 2>the net approval figure for the Republicans and Democrats paints

0:12:07.679 --> 0:12:12.079
<v Speaker 2>and undeniable picture of a party in crisis.

0:12:12.760 --> 0:12:15.120
<v Speaker 3>Douglas, is this just a case of.

0:12:15.520 --> 0:12:19.480
<v Speaker 2>Bitter ideologues reacting to a big election loss and having

0:12:19.520 --> 0:12:22.480
<v Speaker 2>a bit of a tantrum or? Is there a deeper

0:12:22.520 --> 0:12:25.880
<v Speaker 2>issue here because we are seeing the most radical voices

0:12:26.000 --> 0:12:28.439
<v Speaker 2>now seemingly taking over the party.

0:12:30.720 --> 0:12:31.920
<v Speaker 1>Yes, that's right.

0:12:32.040 --> 0:12:34.400
<v Speaker 5>I mean it's inevitable, isn't it that after an election

0:12:34.559 --> 0:12:39.160
<v Speaker 5>wipeout like the one that the Democrats suffered last November?

0:12:39.679 --> 0:12:42.680
<v Speaker 5>It's inevitable that there is going to be a period

0:12:42.960 --> 0:12:45.960
<v Speaker 5>of reflection, if not silence from them as they try

0:12:45.960 --> 0:12:48.040
<v Speaker 5>to work out what to do. That's the case with

0:12:48.120 --> 0:12:52.840
<v Speaker 5>any party that suffered such a blistering defeat. The interesting

0:12:52.840 --> 0:12:55.360
<v Speaker 5>thing with the Democrats, you say that they seem to

0:12:55.360 --> 0:13:00.960
<v Speaker 5>be leaderless, that's really because they are. I mean, it

0:13:01.040 --> 0:13:03.320
<v Speaker 5>can't be stressed in the American system. I mean there

0:13:03.360 --> 0:13:07.680
<v Speaker 5>is you know, Kamala Harris and what's his name, Oh yeah, Waltz.

0:13:08.520 --> 0:13:12.079
<v Speaker 5>We you know what happened, and they drifted away after

0:13:12.080 --> 0:13:14.880
<v Speaker 5>the election something that they got, and it's not like

0:13:14.960 --> 0:13:18.360
<v Speaker 5>any of the Democratic Party wants to hear very much

0:13:18.400 --> 0:13:22.319
<v Speaker 5>from either of them after having led them to that defeat.

0:13:23.880 --> 0:13:26.920
<v Speaker 5>And then the rest of the party. You've got a

0:13:26.960 --> 0:13:33.960
<v Speaker 5>minority leader Santa Schumer, who has been castigated by his

0:13:34.200 --> 0:13:40.920
<v Speaker 5>party for making a budget deal with the Republicans. Nancy Pelosi,

0:13:41.080 --> 0:13:47.640
<v Speaker 5>the stripling of eighty four has criticized Chuck Schumer, and

0:13:47.840 --> 0:13:50.880
<v Speaker 5>Chuck Schumer has in fact canceled the book or he

0:13:50.960 --> 0:13:53.959
<v Speaker 5>was going to go on in becoming days because of

0:13:55.000 --> 0:13:59.120
<v Speaker 5>threats to him, not from Republicans but from fellow Democrats.

0:13:59.800 --> 0:14:03.760
<v Speaker 5>And so that's sort of the top of the party.

0:14:04.120 --> 0:14:07.080
<v Speaker 5>You go to the layers underneath that, and unfortunately, you see,

0:14:07.280 --> 0:14:11.840
<v Speaker 5>unfortunately for the Democrats, you see just this case after

0:14:11.960 --> 0:14:17.320
<v Speaker 5>case of somebody whose career is in cinders. Governor Gavin

0:14:17.400 --> 0:14:23.680
<v Speaker 5>Newsom is trying podcasting, and that's because much of the

0:14:23.720 --> 0:14:25.680
<v Speaker 5>district he was meant to keep an eye on burnt

0:14:25.920 --> 0:14:29.760
<v Speaker 5>to the ground a few months ago, and he didn't

0:14:29.800 --> 0:14:33.000
<v Speaker 5>do very much to stop that, and so it's hard

0:14:33.040 --> 0:14:35.800
<v Speaker 5>to see how a little bit of podcasting could make

0:14:35.880 --> 0:14:38.840
<v Speaker 5>up for that. And it's the same all the way

0:14:38.840 --> 0:14:42.360
<v Speaker 5>down the party. There are people like Don Lemon, the

0:14:43.000 --> 0:14:46.080
<v Speaker 5>former CNN anko I mentioned in the New York Post,

0:14:46.640 --> 0:14:50.400
<v Speaker 5>who claimed that the future of the party is the

0:14:50.800 --> 0:14:53.760
<v Speaker 5>radical left wing of the party. But in fact, the

0:14:53.800 --> 0:14:56.840
<v Speaker 5>only future of a party that those people are the

0:14:56.840 --> 0:15:00.120
<v Speaker 5>future of is they are a future for the Republican Party,

0:15:00.520 --> 0:15:03.480
<v Speaker 5>because if the Democratic Party decided to take in the

0:15:03.520 --> 0:15:08.560
<v Speaker 5>worst excesses of the Squad and others, then it's hard

0:15:08.560 --> 0:15:13.120
<v Speaker 5>to see how the Republicans don't just continue winning for

0:15:13.200 --> 0:15:14.360
<v Speaker 5>the foreseeable future.

0:15:16.840 --> 0:15:19.640
<v Speaker 2>Well, I did very much enjoy that peace in the

0:15:19.680 --> 0:15:23.400
<v Speaker 2>New York Post, very droll, indeed. But it does beg

0:15:23.440 --> 0:15:26.760
<v Speaker 2>the question who is the next leader? You mentioned Gavin Newsom,

0:15:26.800 --> 0:15:31.520
<v Speaker 2>he's trying to position himself as somewhat of a moderate centrist,

0:15:32.000 --> 0:15:36.080
<v Speaker 2>a point of difference from the aocs and Bernie Sanders.

0:15:36.480 --> 0:15:41.200
<v Speaker 3>What about Tim Walls? Apparently he has presidential ambitions.

0:15:43.800 --> 0:15:48.560
<v Speaker 5>Well, where to even start with Tim Walls? He has

0:15:48.680 --> 0:15:54.160
<v Speaker 5>cropped back up in recent days, first of all to

0:15:54.240 --> 0:15:57.320
<v Speaker 5>boast about his masculinity and to talk about what a

0:15:57.360 --> 0:16:02.640
<v Speaker 5>threat he believes that he, the man known as Tampon

0:16:02.680 --> 0:16:07.240
<v Speaker 5>Tin Tampon Tin, how much of a threat he was

0:16:07.360 --> 0:16:10.880
<v Speaker 5>to the Republicans because of his masculinity. Odd sort of

0:16:10.960 --> 0:16:13.840
<v Speaker 5>thing to be boasting about and roaring about, but there

0:16:13.880 --> 0:16:16.640
<v Speaker 5>it is. That's Tim Woltz. And then he cropped back

0:16:16.720 --> 0:16:21.680
<v Speaker 5>up in front of some sycophants on stage and talked

0:16:21.680 --> 0:16:25.880
<v Speaker 5>about how he gets happy each day by he downloaded

0:16:25.960 --> 0:16:29.400
<v Speaker 5>the share app that apparently you can have to monitor

0:16:29.440 --> 0:16:33.320
<v Speaker 5>your shares. That's real man of the people's stuff right there.

0:16:33.880 --> 0:16:37.240
<v Speaker 5>And Tim Waltster says he's added the Tesla shares to

0:16:37.320 --> 0:16:42.880
<v Speaker 5>that and was celebrating Tesla's shares going down. Tim Waltz

0:16:43.040 --> 0:16:48.360
<v Speaker 5>should look at where his shares politically are right now,

0:16:48.640 --> 0:16:53.360
<v Speaker 5>and he'd see that they're close to bankruptcy. It's a

0:16:53.400 --> 0:16:57.000
<v Speaker 5>really pathetic spectacle to see him doing that. The thing

0:16:57.120 --> 0:17:01.120
<v Speaker 5>that they most need to do of Democrats is they

0:17:01.160 --> 0:17:03.720
<v Speaker 5>need to actually come up with some policies and some

0:17:03.880 --> 0:17:08.720
<v Speaker 5>ideas that differentiate them from the Republicans. They spent years

0:17:08.920 --> 0:17:13.680
<v Speaker 5>doing Republicans of Fascists it's the end of the republic.

0:17:14.960 --> 0:17:18.400
<v Speaker 5>Democracy dies in darkness. If you vote in Trump, he's

0:17:18.480 --> 0:17:23.000
<v Speaker 5>Hitler and it's all over. And it didn't work. It

0:17:23.080 --> 0:17:27.280
<v Speaker 5>was clearly a total political play, but it also just

0:17:27.359 --> 0:17:30.960
<v Speaker 5>didn't work. It turned out that the voters didn't believe them,

0:17:31.440 --> 0:17:34.639
<v Speaker 5>and rightly so. But what do you do in the

0:17:34.680 --> 0:17:38.000
<v Speaker 5>aftermath of that. They seem to be trying a little

0:17:38.000 --> 0:17:39.600
<v Speaker 5>bit of stuff out, but they're going to have to

0:17:39.600 --> 0:17:42.400
<v Speaker 5>put an awful lot more meat on the bone if

0:17:42.440 --> 0:17:47.320
<v Speaker 5>they're going to look like a really reasonable, respectable party

0:17:47.520 --> 0:17:51.480
<v Speaker 5>of opposition. And all parties need opposition, all governments need opposition.

0:17:52.040 --> 0:17:54.720
<v Speaker 5>But apart from a bit of hollering about taxing the rich,

0:17:54.760 --> 0:18:03.560
<v Speaker 5>there's very little there that the Democrats have to say.

0:18:00.200 --> 0:18:03.359
<v Speaker 2>That there are signs of the left love of violence

0:18:03.760 --> 0:18:07.320
<v Speaker 2>apparent again. It's really never been far away with sword,

0:18:07.359 --> 0:18:11.240
<v Speaker 2>with the BLM riots, the violent anti Israel protests on

0:18:11.400 --> 0:18:15.360
<v Speaker 2>university campuses, and the latest project seems to be attacking

0:18:16.119 --> 0:18:20.480
<v Speaker 2>Tesla cars, Tesla dealerships. Due to their hatred of Elon

0:18:20.640 --> 0:18:23.959
<v Speaker 2>Musk and Douglas. I've got to say those who should

0:18:24.000 --> 0:18:29.000
<v Speaker 2>know better continue to rationalize what some are calling domestic terrorism.

0:18:29.320 --> 0:18:32.680
<v Speaker 11>Someone throw a molotov cocktail at a Tesla service center.

0:18:32.880 --> 0:18:35.520
<v Speaker 11>At least five Teslas blew up. When you pull out

0:18:35.520 --> 0:18:40.440
<v Speaker 11>a chainsaw to celebrate firing, thousands of people forget mad. Interesting,

0:18:40.560 --> 0:18:43.679
<v Speaker 11>you know, Let's send these techno fascist rouler garchs and

0:18:43.800 --> 0:18:46.720
<v Speaker 11>old fashioned Nazis a message loud and clear.

0:18:46.960 --> 0:18:51.520
<v Speaker 12>The vandalism really shows the outright anger and reads that

0:18:51.560 --> 0:18:54.000
<v Speaker 12>people are feeling about what Elon Musk is doing.

0:18:54.320 --> 0:18:57.400
<v Speaker 2>Douglas, they almost hate Elon Musk more than they hate

0:18:57.440 --> 0:19:02.080
<v Speaker 2>Donald Trump these days. This derangement because it's not just

0:19:02.240 --> 0:19:06.199
<v Speaker 2>a disagreement and they want to see him destroyed.

0:19:08.800 --> 0:19:09.280
<v Speaker 1>They do.

0:19:09.560 --> 0:19:14.760
<v Speaker 5>It's it's a rather strange turn for people from a

0:19:14.800 --> 0:19:17.240
<v Speaker 5>political wing that talks about how much they love the

0:19:17.320 --> 0:19:19.440
<v Speaker 5>environment so much and how they want to take the

0:19:19.560 --> 0:19:23.800
<v Speaker 5>environment to be setting light to anything and burning it

0:19:23.800 --> 0:19:27.679
<v Speaker 5>down and setting light two cars run on renewable energy.

0:19:27.760 --> 0:19:30.320
<v Speaker 5>That's that's that's a really great way to say, I

0:19:30.480 --> 0:19:34.240
<v Speaker 5>heart the environment, isn't it? But yes, I mean this,

0:19:34.680 --> 0:19:38.760
<v Speaker 5>any political side can do this. But it's extremely dangerous stuff.

0:19:38.840 --> 0:19:41.280
<v Speaker 5>When you start to say.

0:19:40.760 --> 0:19:42.880
<v Speaker 1>Like that, well, you know, if you.

0:19:42.760 --> 0:19:46.280
<v Speaker 5>If you cut federal spending, you know, you can't expect

0:19:46.359 --> 0:19:50.159
<v Speaker 5>people not to buy a bomb things. I mean, I mean, really,

0:19:50.960 --> 0:19:58.920
<v Speaker 5>we're going, why why this desire to legitimize totally pointless

0:19:58.920 --> 0:20:03.360
<v Speaker 5>destructiveolitical violence. I can only assume that some of these

0:20:03.400 --> 0:20:06.640
<v Speaker 5>people are people who are very bored as well as

0:20:07.080 --> 0:20:13.399
<v Speaker 5>very unpleasant. Indeed, they want a great cause. They spent years,

0:20:13.440 --> 0:20:16.719
<v Speaker 5>as I said earlier, saying that Donald Trump was hitler.

0:20:17.200 --> 0:20:20.680
<v Speaker 5>Now they've decided, in fact, Elion Musk is hitler, which

0:20:20.720 --> 0:20:25.080
<v Speaker 5>means you've got to burn the cars or something, or

0:20:26.080 --> 0:20:31.520
<v Speaker 5>flip the finger to people driving a certain type of car. Again,

0:20:32.600 --> 0:20:39.800
<v Speaker 5>nothing shows moderation and be kind better than just swearing

0:20:39.960 --> 0:20:45.600
<v Speaker 5>at your neighbors because they've got a car whose company

0:20:46.720 --> 0:20:49.800
<v Speaker 5>is founded by a man whose political views you disagree with.

0:20:49.840 --> 0:20:53.480
<v Speaker 5>I mean, it's astonishing, but again, this is deadly. This

0:20:53.600 --> 0:20:57.840
<v Speaker 5>is crypped tonight for the Democrat Party and for people

0:20:57.960 --> 0:21:00.679
<v Speaker 5>like that guy who you show at the beginning of

0:21:00.720 --> 0:21:03.439
<v Speaker 5>that clip. He's meant to be, by the way, a

0:21:03.520 --> 0:21:06.439
<v Speaker 5>late night comedian. I don't know about you, but I mean,

0:21:06.480 --> 0:21:10.280
<v Speaker 5>nothing he said or says is remotely funny. He's just

0:21:10.320 --> 0:21:13.280
<v Speaker 5>one of these weird new clerics for Pere on American

0:21:13.320 --> 0:21:17.240
<v Speaker 5>television who were hired as comedians and then come out

0:21:17.240 --> 0:21:21.040
<v Speaker 5>and give a boring lecture and excuse violence and think

0:21:21.560 --> 0:21:25.800
<v Speaker 5>that that will get them the big laughs and we'll see,

0:21:26.160 --> 0:21:27.760
<v Speaker 5>and that's one of the reasons why people are turning

0:21:27.760 --> 0:21:30.399
<v Speaker 5>off those programs. But it's quite sickening to see that,

0:21:30.680 --> 0:21:32.679
<v Speaker 5>because if the Republicans did that and said, wow, you

0:21:32.680 --> 0:21:35.520
<v Speaker 5>can only push people so far before they start executing you,

0:21:36.119 --> 0:21:39.160
<v Speaker 5>I think we'd all think that was a bit run

0:21:40.160 --> 0:21:41.040
<v Speaker 5>I think we would.

0:21:41.240 --> 0:21:44.479
<v Speaker 2>I think that we would all right on January sixth,

0:21:44.480 --> 0:21:47.280
<v Speaker 2>and they were bleeding about it for five years.

0:21:47.320 --> 0:21:48.160
<v Speaker 3>So if.

0:21:49.480 --> 0:21:52.679
<v Speaker 2>The violence from their side, they seem to rationalize very easily.

0:21:52.680 --> 0:21:55.200
<v Speaker 2>And you're right about those late night comics. There's a

0:21:55.240 --> 0:21:58.080
<v Speaker 2>reason why their ratings are in the toilet is because

0:21:58.200 --> 0:22:02.280
<v Speaker 2>there's very few laughs. There's just lectures, and Greg Guttfeld

0:22:02.359 --> 0:22:03.760
<v Speaker 2>is the big beneficiary there.

0:22:04.880 --> 0:22:04.960
<v Speaker 13>Now.

0:22:05.080 --> 0:22:07.879
<v Speaker 3>Talking about celebrities, we've seen a number of them threatened

0:22:07.920 --> 0:22:09.200
<v Speaker 3>to leave the US if.

0:22:09.080 --> 0:22:11.400
<v Speaker 2>Trump won, and one of them, I've got to give

0:22:11.400 --> 0:22:14.239
<v Speaker 2>her credit she followed through with it. Rosio O'Donnell is

0:22:14.280 --> 0:22:19.320
<v Speaker 2>now an resident of Ireland and she started spreading election

0:22:19.520 --> 0:22:20.480
<v Speaker 2>denial there.

0:22:20.880 --> 0:22:24.359
<v Speaker 12>I question why the first time in American history a

0:22:24.480 --> 0:22:28.720
<v Speaker 12>president has won every swing state and is also best

0:22:28.760 --> 0:22:32.199
<v Speaker 12>friends and his largest donor was a man who owns

0:22:32.280 --> 0:22:35.240
<v Speaker 12>and runs the Internet, So I would hope that that

0:22:35.280 --> 0:22:39.560
<v Speaker 12>would be investigated. Kamala Harris was filling up stadiums with

0:22:39.680 --> 0:22:42.920
<v Speaker 12>people who supported her, and Donald Trump was not able

0:22:42.960 --> 0:22:43.320
<v Speaker 12>to do that.

0:22:43.920 --> 0:22:45.720
<v Speaker 3>There you go, Douglas.

0:22:45.720 --> 0:22:49.639
<v Speaker 2>Elon apparently owns and runs the internet now and Kamala

0:22:49.680 --> 0:22:51.960
<v Speaker 2>was hugely popular, So we need an investigation.

0:22:53.480 --> 0:22:54.320
<v Speaker 1>Yes, that's right.

0:22:54.400 --> 0:22:56.200
<v Speaker 5>And one of the ways you can tell that Elon

0:22:56.320 --> 0:22:59.080
<v Speaker 5>Musk runs all of the Internet is that there are

0:22:59.119 --> 0:23:02.960
<v Speaker 5>never any negative pieces or a negative comment about Elon

0:23:03.080 --> 0:23:06.520
<v Speaker 5>Musk on the Internet. As ever, Rosio o'donald is as

0:23:06.640 --> 0:23:11.159
<v Speaker 5>sharp tacked as she ever was. I remember this is

0:23:11.200 --> 0:23:14.600
<v Speaker 5>another comedian. By the way, remember Rosi o' donald. She's hilarious,

0:23:14.640 --> 0:23:17.600
<v Speaker 5>isn't she. I mean you can just feel your face

0:23:17.680 --> 0:23:21.639
<v Speaker 5>cracking up with the humor whenever Rosie appears, and a

0:23:21.760 --> 0:23:26.280
<v Speaker 5>pines on the world. As for Donald Trump not filling

0:23:26.359 --> 0:23:32.040
<v Speaker 5>up stadiums, I mean, that's just bizarre, because of course,

0:23:32.080 --> 0:23:36.040
<v Speaker 5>I mean I've been to Trump rallies. He very much

0:23:36.080 --> 0:23:39.639
<v Speaker 5>fills up stadiums, very much, filled up Madison Square Garden

0:23:40.160 --> 0:23:43.479
<v Speaker 5>in New York and countless other places across the country.

0:23:43.680 --> 0:23:47.359
<v Speaker 5>Here's one of the problems, of course, for the Democrats. Again,

0:23:48.040 --> 0:23:53.879
<v Speaker 5>they can be pulled leftward by these now self exiled

0:23:53.920 --> 0:23:57.600
<v Speaker 5>comedians like Rosio o'donald, who, by the way, probably is

0:23:57.640 --> 0:24:01.080
<v Speaker 5>having a kind of breakdown because Donald Trump was very

0:24:01.160 --> 0:24:05.400
<v Speaker 5>largely elected in twenty sixteen, very largely won the Republican

0:24:05.440 --> 0:24:08.680
<v Speaker 5>nomination to run for president because of his line about

0:24:08.760 --> 0:24:11.879
<v Speaker 5>Rosy o'donald, which just got huge laughs and was hugely

0:24:11.880 --> 0:24:16.680
<v Speaker 5>appreciated by people across the country. But Rosy o'donald and co.

0:24:16.880 --> 0:24:20.000
<v Speaker 5>If they're going to do this stuff, what it really

0:24:20.119 --> 0:24:23.800
<v Speaker 5>is is a demonstration of denial. What the Democrats and

0:24:23.840 --> 0:24:27.600
<v Speaker 5>others should face up to is that Donald Trump was

0:24:28.200 --> 0:24:32.919
<v Speaker 5>and is extremely popular. He won the popular vote because

0:24:32.960 --> 0:24:37.160
<v Speaker 5>he's popular. He filled up stadiums because he's popular. Sure,

0:24:37.320 --> 0:24:39.840
<v Speaker 5>Kamala Harris could fill the Odd Hall. No one is

0:24:39.880 --> 0:24:43.480
<v Speaker 5>disputing that. But if you've just lost an election to somebody,

0:24:43.880 --> 0:24:47.600
<v Speaker 5>you don't pretend, or you shouldn't pretend that that person

0:24:47.680 --> 0:24:50.199
<v Speaker 5>has no popularity behind him. What you should do is

0:24:50.560 --> 0:24:53.520
<v Speaker 5>work out why he's got it. See what you can

0:24:53.560 --> 0:24:57.040
<v Speaker 5>do to adapt to the world that you're in, and

0:24:57.119 --> 0:25:00.119
<v Speaker 5>see what you can learn, see if there are policies

0:25:00.480 --> 0:25:04.800
<v Speaker 5>that you might learn from, instead of claiming that he's

0:25:05.040 --> 0:25:08.800
<v Speaker 5>faked his way to it, actually adapt and learn. And

0:25:08.880 --> 0:25:11.119
<v Speaker 5>so yes, I'm not sure, Rosian. No one is going

0:25:11.160 --> 0:25:14.639
<v Speaker 5>to be able to teach the Democrats very much from

0:25:14.760 --> 0:25:16.880
<v Speaker 5>her escape in Ireland. And by the way, the way

0:25:16.880 --> 0:25:20.159
<v Speaker 5>that Ireland's going at the moment, it's perfectly possible at

0:25:20.200 --> 0:25:22.439
<v Speaker 5>Rosier Donald will have to move back to the States

0:25:22.440 --> 0:25:24.159
<v Speaker 5>at some point soon. But that's another story.

0:25:26.320 --> 0:25:28.800
<v Speaker 2>Well, she is in a very inchulent little echo chamber

0:25:28.800 --> 0:25:32.000
<v Speaker 2>because in that interview it appeared that she doesn't actually

0:25:32.080 --> 0:25:34.920
<v Speaker 2>know any Trump voters. So even though more than half

0:25:34.920 --> 0:25:37.800
<v Speaker 2>the country half of voters voted for Trump, she doesn't

0:25:37.800 --> 0:25:41.480
<v Speaker 2>seem to know a single one. So that's rosy for you.

0:25:41.600 --> 0:25:44.399
<v Speaker 2>Before you go, just quickly. You wrote a superb piece

0:25:44.480 --> 0:25:48.480
<v Speaker 2>for The Spectator about the latest attacks against Western civilization.

0:25:48.960 --> 0:25:52.320
<v Speaker 2>And here we've got Britain's being expected to be ashamed

0:25:52.359 --> 0:25:54.840
<v Speaker 2>of their history, ashamed of things that should be enormously

0:25:54.920 --> 0:25:59.879
<v Speaker 2>proud of, like Shakespeare. Even Shakespeare's birthplace is supposed to

0:25:59.920 --> 0:26:03.320
<v Speaker 2>be we should be decolonized, Douglas, because it could be

0:26:03.400 --> 0:26:05.000
<v Speaker 2>used to promote white supremacy.

0:26:06.720 --> 0:26:10.680
<v Speaker 5>Yes, this is the latest report by a dim wit,

0:26:11.000 --> 0:26:15.640
<v Speaker 5>second rate academic at a third rate university who weirdly

0:26:15.840 --> 0:26:19.000
<v Speaker 5>cooperating with the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust. And you would have

0:26:19.000 --> 0:26:23.080
<v Speaker 5>thought the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust would like to celebrate Shakespeare's birthplace,

0:26:23.160 --> 0:26:25.760
<v Speaker 5>but oh no, no, no, no, not in this era.

0:26:26.160 --> 0:26:29.640
<v Speaker 5>So this second rate academic cooperated with the Shakespeare Birthplace

0:26:29.680 --> 0:26:34.520
<v Speaker 5>Trust and she has come to conclusion that Shakespeare's racist

0:26:34.560 --> 0:26:39.360
<v Speaker 5>and colonialist, or maybe even caused the colonial era himself unclear.

0:26:39.640 --> 0:26:42.880
<v Speaker 5>And also the Stratford upon Avon is a notorious meeting

0:26:42.880 --> 0:26:46.639
<v Speaker 5>place of white supremacists. And it's always struck me Rito

0:26:46.720 --> 0:26:51.280
<v Speaker 5>as I'm sure it has you that whatever remaining skinheads

0:26:51.320 --> 0:26:56.679
<v Speaker 5>there might be, they're forever gathering at places of poetry

0:26:57.520 --> 0:27:00.439
<v Speaker 5>like Stratford upon Avon and reading Sonnets. It's one of

0:27:00.440 --> 0:27:01.760
<v Speaker 5>the things I think you can it's one of the

0:27:01.760 --> 0:27:06.320
<v Speaker 5>ways you spot them, those guys. It's so preposterous. And

0:27:06.359 --> 0:27:09.400
<v Speaker 5>by the way, the important thing about this is that,

0:27:09.440 --> 0:27:11.959
<v Speaker 5>as I said in that piece and Spectator, it points

0:27:12.000 --> 0:27:15.560
<v Speaker 5>to this central issue that we are being told in

0:27:15.600 --> 0:27:19.199
<v Speaker 5>our countries, in America, in Britain, in Australia, in all

0:27:19.280 --> 0:27:22.560
<v Speaker 5>the western countries, we are being told all the time

0:27:22.680 --> 0:27:26.280
<v Speaker 5>to be ashamed of our inheritance. And there's no reason

0:27:26.320 --> 0:27:29.600
<v Speaker 5>to be ashamed of our inheritance. But what's weird about

0:27:29.640 --> 0:27:32.720
<v Speaker 5>it is that we are being told it all the time,

0:27:32.800 --> 0:27:37.520
<v Speaker 5>and it's always a one way street, this business with

0:27:37.640 --> 0:27:41.080
<v Speaker 5>Shakespeare's birthplace. They've decided that one of the things is

0:27:41.080 --> 0:27:45.720
<v Speaker 5>there's too much Shakespeare at Shakespeare's birthplace, and they've decided,

0:27:45.760 --> 0:27:51.280
<v Speaker 5>among other things, to introduce more of a celebrated Bengali

0:27:51.400 --> 0:27:55.200
<v Speaker 5>poet called Tagre. Now, if I went to de Gory's

0:27:55.200 --> 0:28:01.440
<v Speaker 5>birthplace in Bengal and said, guys, you need more Shakespeare here,

0:28:02.400 --> 0:28:05.760
<v Speaker 5>it's really not on that you haven't got another poet

0:28:05.880 --> 0:28:08.439
<v Speaker 5>that you're celebrating at the birthplace of this poet, I

0:28:08.480 --> 0:28:10.560
<v Speaker 5>think people would think it was rather audacious.

0:28:10.640 --> 0:28:11.520
<v Speaker 1>Well guess what.

0:28:11.680 --> 0:28:15.159
<v Speaker 5>We in England, We in Britain also think it's rather audacious.

0:28:15.400 --> 0:28:19.440
<v Speaker 5>It's rude and to use a term, it's rather colonizing.

0:28:22.000 --> 0:28:24.679
<v Speaker 2>Indeed, Douglas Murray, thank you so much for your time tonight.

0:28:25.760 --> 0:28:27.200
<v Speaker 5>Pleasure as always.

0:28:27.520 --> 0:28:28.240
<v Speaker 3>Still to come.

0:28:28.560 --> 0:28:32.160
<v Speaker 2>Lefties Losing It plus the latest from the us, including

0:28:32.240 --> 0:28:36.200
<v Speaker 2>George Clooney, labeled a liar and coward for his part

0:28:36.280 --> 0:28:38.760
<v Speaker 2>in hiding Joe Biden's cognitive decline.

0:28:38.800 --> 0:28:40.720
<v Speaker 3>But here unga sagone is.

0:28:40.720 --> 0:28:41.600
<v Speaker 1>Up next.

0:28:50.120 --> 0:28:50.760
<v Speaker 3>Welcome back.

0:28:50.800 --> 0:28:54.440
<v Speaker 2>It's time for lefties losing it and another Hollywood actress

0:28:54.440 --> 0:28:56.840
<v Speaker 2>has decided to show us how daft and out of

0:28:56.960 --> 0:29:00.360
<v Speaker 2>touch she is. Here is Star of Grays and to me,

0:29:00.560 --> 0:29:04.360
<v Speaker 2>Ellen Pompeio just being comically clueless.

0:29:04.680 --> 0:29:06.440
<v Speaker 3>I don't know it all. At the same time, it's

0:29:06.480 --> 0:29:07.200
<v Speaker 3>not a good combo.

0:29:07.600 --> 0:29:10.800
<v Speaker 13>I think we all need a lot more empathy right now,

0:29:10.840 --> 0:29:14.120
<v Speaker 13>and so I hope we take that away. I mean,

0:29:14.800 --> 0:29:17.400
<v Speaker 13>why are old white men the only ones who are

0:29:17.400 --> 0:29:22.680
<v Speaker 13>allowed to be felons? Good?

0:29:22.720 --> 0:29:23.640
<v Speaker 3>No one else can.

0:29:23.560 --> 0:29:25.200
<v Speaker 7>Stay in this country if they're a felon.

0:29:25.280 --> 0:29:27.720
<v Speaker 3>But somehow if you're and he's not even that word.

0:29:28.400 --> 0:29:31.720
<v Speaker 3>Just a profound point. How proud was she of what

0:29:31.760 --> 0:29:33.479
<v Speaker 3>you just said? Really?

0:29:33.840 --> 0:29:37.480
<v Speaker 2>But you can't expect someone who is this demon out

0:29:37.480 --> 0:29:42.640
<v Speaker 2>of touch to understand why Americans want illegal immigrants, particularly gangbangers,

0:29:42.720 --> 0:29:43.600
<v Speaker 2>out of the country.

0:29:43.600 --> 0:29:47.840
<v Speaker 14>Watch this, Your twenty million dollar salary was publicly shared

0:29:48.440 --> 0:29:49.120
<v Speaker 14>to the world.

0:29:50.240 --> 0:29:52.200
<v Speaker 3>How did you feel when that came out?

0:29:52.400 --> 0:29:55.680
<v Speaker 7>Well, my manager at the time said something to me

0:29:55.760 --> 0:29:57.960
<v Speaker 7>that literally hit me like a brick. He said, or

0:29:58.080 --> 0:30:02.360
<v Speaker 7>how are you ready to be unpopular? I was like,

0:30:02.360 --> 0:30:04.040
<v Speaker 7>what do you what do you mean? And he was like, well,

0:30:04.120 --> 0:30:06.080
<v Speaker 7>I just don't want you to think that everyone's going

0:30:06.120 --> 0:30:07.760
<v Speaker 7>to go in and cheer for you and clap for

0:30:07.840 --> 0:30:09.880
<v Speaker 7>you and bow to you and think you're the dopest

0:30:09.880 --> 0:30:11.680
<v Speaker 7>thing ever, because there's going to be a lot of

0:30:11.680 --> 0:30:14.840
<v Speaker 7>people who are not happy for you. And that had

0:30:14.880 --> 0:30:15.680
<v Speaker 7>never occurred to me.

0:30:16.120 --> 0:30:19.120
<v Speaker 2>What it had never occurred to her that people might

0:30:19.160 --> 0:30:22.720
<v Speaker 2>be critical, maybe unhappy that some second right actress is

0:30:22.760 --> 0:30:25.840
<v Speaker 2>earning twenty million dollars. Let's check in now with some

0:30:26.080 --> 0:30:30.120
<v Speaker 2>leftist protesters. So are asked about the job status. Q

0:30:30.480 --> 0:30:32.480
<v Speaker 2>much hysterics and victim playing.

0:30:32.680 --> 0:30:33.800
<v Speaker 12>I got to ask you, it's the middle of the

0:30:33.880 --> 0:30:34.600
<v Speaker 12>day on Wednesday.

0:30:34.680 --> 0:30:35.640
<v Speaker 1>Do you have a job?

0:30:36.200 --> 0:30:36.560
<v Speaker 3>I do?

0:30:36.760 --> 0:30:38.880
<v Speaker 1>I do Wednesdays.

0:30:38.920 --> 0:30:41.160
<v Speaker 15>I have some flexibility and you know during the day,

0:30:41.200 --> 0:30:41.760
<v Speaker 15>I'm able to.

0:30:41.680 --> 0:30:42.280
<v Speaker 1>Go do stuff.

0:30:42.280 --> 0:30:45.400
<v Speaker 3>I gotta get stuff, I gotta get Do we leave

0:30:45.440 --> 0:30:46.640
<v Speaker 3>our job tomorrow?

0:30:46.760 --> 0:30:51.440
<v Speaker 16>What is not more precious than husband children? That no salary,

0:30:51.640 --> 0:30:56.000
<v Speaker 16>no slave wage, is enough to stop me from actually

0:30:57.280 --> 0:30:58.400
<v Speaker 16>raising my point.

0:30:58.800 --> 0:31:02.840
<v Speaker 2>Now, let's have some watching Dylan Mulvainy run in heels.

0:31:02.920 --> 0:31:06.560
<v Speaker 2>Here he is mocking womanhood again. He's notched up more

0:31:06.600 --> 0:31:08.760
<v Speaker 2>than a thousand days of mocking womanhood.

0:31:08.760 --> 0:31:11.680
<v Speaker 3>And he now has a billboard in Times Square.

0:31:11.920 --> 0:31:14.480
<v Speaker 4>Oh my god, it's d one thy ninety six being

0:31:14.480 --> 0:31:16.120
<v Speaker 4>a girl. It's your three And that's me on a

0:31:16.120 --> 0:31:19.520
<v Speaker 4>billboard in Times Square at the three Bees, a book,

0:31:19.640 --> 0:31:23.560
<v Speaker 4>a bath bomb, and a billboard. Oh wow, Now I

0:31:23.560 --> 0:31:25.719
<v Speaker 4>think we should hand out some paper doll books some

0:31:25.760 --> 0:31:27.120
<v Speaker 4>of these people out in Times Square.

0:31:27.200 --> 0:31:27.760
<v Speaker 1>Let's go.

0:31:29.680 --> 0:31:32.960
<v Speaker 2>Now, don't go accusing the Democrats of being in a cult.

0:31:33.200 --> 0:31:35.000
<v Speaker 3>Not like they'd be mindless.

0:31:35.080 --> 0:31:39.400
<v Speaker 2>Sheep, regurgitating the same phrase over and over again. The

0:31:39.520 --> 0:31:42.920
<v Speaker 2>latest talking point is all about this moment.

0:31:43.280 --> 0:31:45.440
<v Speaker 3>The strength that we have is in this moment.

0:31:45.760 --> 0:31:50.120
<v Speaker 8>Listen to your constituents, center them in this moment.

0:31:50.320 --> 0:31:52.160
<v Speaker 4>But I can tell you that there are a lot

0:31:52.200 --> 0:31:55.320
<v Speaker 4>of people that are watching his leadership in this moment.

0:31:55.400 --> 0:31:56.320
<v Speaker 3>This is the moment.

0:31:56.440 --> 0:31:59.600
<v Speaker 1>No I think about what's happening, you know in this moment.

0:32:00.040 --> 0:32:02.600
<v Speaker 1>What's important is that we meet this moment.

0:32:03.360 --> 0:32:06.640
<v Speaker 2>So are these current Democrats the ones to meet the moment?

0:32:07.080 --> 0:32:09.520
<v Speaker 1>What do you want to see us doing?

0:32:09.960 --> 0:32:10.200
<v Speaker 17>Right?

0:32:10.200 --> 0:32:13.920
<v Speaker 15>Now, in this moment, and which Democrats are actually going

0:32:13.960 --> 0:32:18.360
<v Speaker 15>to stand up against Elon Musk and Donald Trump in

0:32:18.400 --> 0:32:19.000
<v Speaker 15>this moment.

0:32:19.160 --> 0:32:23.160
<v Speaker 2>You know, in this moment, the Democrats' arguments against deportations,

0:32:23.240 --> 0:32:27.400
<v Speaker 2>against stopping illegal immigration amount to just one thing, their

0:32:27.440 --> 0:32:29.240
<v Speaker 2>love of cheap foreign labor.

0:32:29.760 --> 0:32:32.520
<v Speaker 3>This blue haired Texan is part of the problem.

0:32:32.600 --> 0:32:35.560
<v Speaker 18>Who's going to build the Texas detention camps?

0:32:36.160 --> 0:32:37.360
<v Speaker 5>Who's going to build them?

0:32:37.840 --> 0:32:38.520
<v Speaker 1>I'll wait.

0:32:42.640 --> 0:32:46.560
<v Speaker 2>And to another pitifully cheap and nasty attack from new

0:32:46.560 --> 0:32:52.000
<v Speaker 2>Democrat favorite Jasmine Crockett. Here, the privately educated congresswoman walks

0:32:52.080 --> 0:32:55.719
<v Speaker 2>Texas Governor Greg Abbott, who is disabled and in a wheelchair,

0:32:56.240 --> 0:32:59.160
<v Speaker 2>calling him governor hot whales.

0:32:59.000 --> 0:33:05.280
<v Speaker 3>As we in these hot ass Texas streets. Honey, y'all

0:33:05.280 --> 0:33:06.480
<v Speaker 3>know we got governor high.

0:33:06.360 --> 0:33:11.440
<v Speaker 14>Wheels down there, Come on now, and the only thing

0:33:11.640 --> 0:33:14.000
<v Speaker 14>hot about him is that he is a hot.

0:33:13.760 --> 0:33:14.960
<v Speaker 3>Ass mess honey.

0:33:15.320 --> 0:33:20.880
<v Speaker 2>So so yes, yes, yes, yes, Oh classy work there

0:33:20.920 --> 0:33:24.520
<v Speaker 2>from the Democrat congressman. Let's bring in journalists and author

0:33:25.000 --> 0:33:26.480
<v Speaker 2>Batia Unga Sagon.

0:33:27.400 --> 0:33:30.720
<v Speaker 3>Oh my gosh, what can you say about that? How

0:33:30.800 --> 0:33:31.680
<v Speaker 3>low can they go?

0:33:33.920 --> 0:33:39.120
<v Speaker 14>It's just so utterly appalling, And I honestly had to

0:33:39.240 --> 0:33:42.800
<v Speaker 14>listen to the clip a few times because the idea

0:33:43.040 --> 0:33:48.560
<v Speaker 14>that a member of Congress would be mocking the disability

0:33:49.280 --> 0:33:52.320
<v Speaker 14>of a man who had a horrific accident at twenty

0:33:52.440 --> 0:33:55.720
<v Speaker 14>six and then spent the rest of his life in

0:33:55.880 --> 0:34:00.520
<v Speaker 14>public service to this nation and never let his stability

0:34:00.560 --> 0:34:04.120
<v Speaker 14>hold him back from serving the people who he loves.

0:34:05.040 --> 0:34:09.960
<v Speaker 14>It's so shocking to me. And the fact that that

0:34:10.160 --> 0:34:14.040
<v Speaker 14>audience laughed. I don't know if your audience could hear that, Rita,

0:34:14.560 --> 0:34:20.400
<v Speaker 14>but the audience at this human rights campaign event just

0:34:20.560 --> 0:34:27.520
<v Speaker 14>burst out laughing at this mockery of a disabled person.

0:34:28.400 --> 0:34:30.360
<v Speaker 14>You have to see it to believe it. And I

0:34:30.400 --> 0:34:35.479
<v Speaker 14>think it really reveals that the Democrats truly check their

0:34:35.560 --> 0:34:39.279
<v Speaker 14>morals at the door when it comes to anybody who

0:34:39.320 --> 0:34:43.279
<v Speaker 14>disagrees with them politically, they owe them not even the

0:34:43.280 --> 0:34:48.280
<v Speaker 14>most basic common decency. Truly a sad low moment.

0:34:50.960 --> 0:34:55.360
<v Speaker 2>Now sixty Minutes did a fluff face on George Cloudy

0:34:55.560 --> 0:34:58.880
<v Speaker 2>and they asked about the role they act A played

0:34:59.000 --> 0:35:02.160
<v Speaker 2>in pressuring Joe Biden to step down. He gave a

0:35:02.280 --> 0:35:06.080
<v Speaker 2>rather self delighted, self serving answer.

0:35:06.000 --> 0:35:06.600
<v Speaker 1>Happy, you did it.

0:35:07.040 --> 0:35:10.200
<v Speaker 19>Yeah, I'll make it kind of easy. I was raised

0:35:10.200 --> 0:35:14.880
<v Speaker 19>to tell the truth. I had seen the President up

0:35:14.920 --> 0:35:18.840
<v Speaker 19>close for this fundraiser, and I was surprised, And so

0:35:19.360 --> 0:35:22.359
<v Speaker 19>I feel as if there was a lot of profiles

0:35:22.360 --> 0:35:26.440
<v Speaker 19>in cowardice in my party through all of that, and

0:35:26.520 --> 0:35:29.680
<v Speaker 19>I was not proud of that, and I also believed

0:35:29.680 --> 0:35:30.920
<v Speaker 19>I had to tell the truth.

0:35:31.280 --> 0:35:36.120
<v Speaker 2>But George Clooney, you must think we're all suffering from

0:35:36.160 --> 0:35:40.319
<v Speaker 2>Biden's cognitive decline. But yeah, because I remember, and I'm

0:35:40.320 --> 0:35:42.760
<v Speaker 2>sure you do the timeline.

0:35:42.800 --> 0:35:45.760
<v Speaker 3>So far from bravely cooling out.

0:35:45.560 --> 0:35:48.760
<v Speaker 2>The obvious, George Clooney in fact did a massive, star

0:35:48.920 --> 0:35:52.480
<v Speaker 2>stunded fundraiser for Joe Biden. You'll remember that it featured,

0:35:52.680 --> 0:35:54.440
<v Speaker 2>among others, Jack Black.

0:35:54.719 --> 0:35:57.520
<v Speaker 15>A few days ago, my manager called me and said,

0:35:57.520 --> 0:36:00.279
<v Speaker 15>George Clooney and Julia Roberts wanted me to help the

0:36:00.280 --> 0:36:03.680
<v Speaker 15>president and speak here tonight, And I said, I am

0:36:03.800 --> 0:36:05.080
<v Speaker 15>in When and where?

0:36:05.440 --> 0:36:08.920
<v Speaker 2>That was the event where President Biden frozen had to

0:36:08.920 --> 0:36:12.799
<v Speaker 2>be assisted off the stage by Barack Obama, and then

0:36:12.840 --> 0:36:15.080
<v Speaker 2>the White House lied to all of us saying that

0:36:15.120 --> 0:36:19.400
<v Speaker 2>the videos of this were all right wing disinformation that

0:36:19.600 --> 0:36:24.439
<v Speaker 2>we shouldn't be believing our lying eyes. That happened then

0:36:24.760 --> 0:36:29.719
<v Speaker 2>around two weeks later was the infamous Biden debate disaster,

0:36:29.960 --> 0:36:34.920
<v Speaker 2>where he just gave the most incoherent performance yet. And

0:36:35.040 --> 0:36:40.080
<v Speaker 2>it was some two weeks after that, when Biden was

0:36:40.120 --> 0:36:44.040
<v Speaker 2>steadfastly refusing to step down that we got that George

0:36:44.080 --> 0:36:47.960
<v Speaker 2>Clooney op ed so this suggestion that he saw Joe

0:36:47.960 --> 0:36:50.840
<v Speaker 2>Biden up close and decided I've.

0:36:50.719 --> 0:36:53.520
<v Speaker 3>Got to be a brave warrior here and take a stand.

0:36:54.280 --> 0:36:55.840
<v Speaker 3>Come on, who is he kidding?

0:36:57.520 --> 0:37:00.440
<v Speaker 14>It's so funny, Red, because you're exactly right about the timeline.

0:37:00.520 --> 0:37:07.759
<v Speaker 14>What we just saw was George Clooney acting, lying, pretending

0:37:08.200 --> 0:37:11.600
<v Speaker 14>that he is some sort of, you know, this beacon

0:37:11.680 --> 0:37:14.520
<v Speaker 14>of moral courage, when he is the opposite. He is

0:37:14.600 --> 0:37:19.680
<v Speaker 14>the biggest coward because, as you point out, he saw

0:37:19.719 --> 0:37:25.440
<v Speaker 14>the decline, but when he had privileged information that he

0:37:25.520 --> 0:37:28.000
<v Speaker 14>was granted due to the fact that he's a gazillionaire

0:37:28.239 --> 0:37:31.760
<v Speaker 14>celebrity who has access to the Obamas and to Biden.

0:37:32.080 --> 0:37:35.440
<v Speaker 14>When he had access to that information about Biden's decline

0:37:35.640 --> 0:37:39.640
<v Speaker 14>that we the American people didn't have because we're not gazillionaires,

0:37:40.440 --> 0:37:43.080
<v Speaker 14>he kept it to himself and he was willing to

0:37:43.200 --> 0:37:46.480
<v Speaker 14>keep that money rolling and to get that person who

0:37:46.520 --> 0:37:50.279
<v Speaker 14>he thought was senile into the oval office. Again, so

0:37:50.480 --> 0:37:54.239
<v Speaker 14>long as none of the American people knew that the

0:37:54.280 --> 0:37:57.880
<v Speaker 14>president was senile. It's so horrifying. And he only spoke

0:37:58.000 --> 0:38:01.399
<v Speaker 14>up when the American people had a front row seat

0:38:01.440 --> 0:38:05.040
<v Speaker 14>to the problem themselves at that debate, and his corruption

0:38:05.480 --> 0:38:09.239
<v Speaker 14>clooney and Obama's corruption at hiding the sinility of the

0:38:09.320 --> 0:38:14.040
<v Speaker 14>president was revealed to everybody. That's when he wrote the

0:38:14.120 --> 0:38:17.160
<v Speaker 14>op ed, which, by the way, many people think Obama

0:38:17.200 --> 0:38:19.319
<v Speaker 14>pushed him to write because Obama was too much of

0:38:19.320 --> 0:38:21.680
<v Speaker 14>a coward to put his name on it. So these

0:38:21.719 --> 0:38:26.040
<v Speaker 14>people are the biggest cowards. They are millionaires who have

0:38:26.320 --> 0:38:30.480
<v Speaker 14>access to power in an unbelievable way, wealth and power,

0:38:30.800 --> 0:38:34.839
<v Speaker 14>and they were gatekeeping information that the American people desperately

0:38:34.920 --> 0:38:37.680
<v Speaker 14>needed so long as they thought they could get away

0:38:37.719 --> 0:38:42.600
<v Speaker 14>with putting a puppet president back in the Oval office. Truly,

0:38:43.080 --> 0:38:45.840
<v Speaker 14>cowardice and corruption rolled into.

0:38:45.640 --> 0:38:50.799
<v Speaker 2>One absolutely, And you know what, he probably would have

0:38:50.840 --> 0:38:55.439
<v Speaker 2>had plenty of access before that star started fundraiser where

0:38:55.920 --> 0:38:58.319
<v Speaker 2>it was obvious to everyone that Biden was in no

0:38:58.440 --> 0:39:00.200
<v Speaker 2>shape to be president.

0:39:00.880 --> 0:39:04.880
<v Speaker 3>And they all kept starting. Not only did they say nothing.

0:39:05.000 --> 0:39:08.040
<v Speaker 2>But they attacked those of us who pointed out the

0:39:08.080 --> 0:39:10.960
<v Speaker 2>obvious that there was obviously something wrong with the president.

0:39:11.080 --> 0:39:15.759
<v Speaker 2>We were accused of disinformation and right wing conspiracies and

0:39:16.160 --> 0:39:20.759
<v Speaker 2>altering videos when it was all there. Now you've done

0:39:20.880 --> 0:39:25.319
<v Speaker 2>incredible work. You've written extensively about the political realignments that

0:39:25.320 --> 0:39:28.840
<v Speaker 2>we've seen in the US. You understand them better than most,

0:39:29.520 --> 0:39:33.920
<v Speaker 2>and that has included an exodus from big blue states

0:39:34.000 --> 0:39:36.880
<v Speaker 2>like California and New York to the big red states

0:39:36.960 --> 0:39:41.760
<v Speaker 2>like Texas and Florida. And finally, now Democrats like Bill

0:39:41.840 --> 0:39:46.480
<v Speaker 2>Maher are understanding what those trends mean and they're worried

0:39:46.480 --> 0:39:46.920
<v Speaker 2>about it.

0:39:47.239 --> 0:39:50.719
<v Speaker 17>California is projected to lose three seats, New York two

0:39:51.400 --> 0:39:54.520
<v Speaker 17>also going to lose a seat. Minnesota, Oregon, Rhode Island,

0:39:54.600 --> 0:39:59.640
<v Speaker 17>Illinois or blue states. Who's getting these Texas, Florida, Adaho,

0:39:59.800 --> 0:40:02.560
<v Speaker 17>and Utah. I mean, this looks like game over.

0:40:03.200 --> 0:40:09.000
<v Speaker 2>That's fascinating implications for that. How do you say those

0:40:09.280 --> 0:40:12.320
<v Speaker 2>trends impacting America's political future.

0:40:13.880 --> 0:40:16.319
<v Speaker 14>It's funny because when you talk to Republicans who live

0:40:16.320 --> 0:40:19.040
<v Speaker 14>in those states, they're like, don't come, don't bring your

0:40:19.080 --> 0:40:20.759
<v Speaker 14>stupid liberal ideas here.

0:40:22.400 --> 0:40:24.160
<v Speaker 3>So they're a little bit worried about it.

0:40:24.239 --> 0:40:27.200
<v Speaker 14>I think, but I think this reflects a larger trend

0:40:27.200 --> 0:40:30.319
<v Speaker 14>in America, which is every single state in the last

0:40:30.320 --> 0:40:33.840
<v Speaker 14>election moved to the right, even liberal states. So you

0:40:33.840 --> 0:40:36.200
<v Speaker 14>have people moving out of liberal states to conservative states,

0:40:36.239 --> 0:40:38.480
<v Speaker 14>literally moving to the right, and then you have just

0:40:38.600 --> 0:40:42.360
<v Speaker 14>that movement within those states. And in addition to the

0:40:42.480 --> 0:40:45.840
<v Speaker 14>sort of political realignment we've seen along class lines to

0:40:45.840 --> 0:40:47.919
<v Speaker 14>where the Democrats are now the party of the rich

0:40:48.239 --> 0:40:50.280
<v Speaker 14>and the Republicans are the party of the working class.

0:40:50.480 --> 0:40:54.359
<v Speaker 14>You've seen a realignment of like the cool factor. So

0:40:54.400 --> 0:40:56.279
<v Speaker 14>it used to be the Democrats were the party of

0:40:56.360 --> 0:40:59.279
<v Speaker 14>young people, of cool, of hip of everything that was

0:40:59.280 --> 0:41:01.919
<v Speaker 14>sort of cutting in, and the Republicans with the sort

0:41:01.920 --> 0:41:05.319
<v Speaker 14>of old fuddy dudies, you know, and now it's the

0:41:05.360 --> 0:41:09.600
<v Speaker 14>exact opposite. Young people overwhelmingly voted for Donald Trump, especially

0:41:09.680 --> 0:41:14.640
<v Speaker 14>young men, and the GOP feels edgy, it feels cutting edge,

0:41:14.640 --> 0:41:16.719
<v Speaker 14>and it feels like the party where cool things are

0:41:16.760 --> 0:41:20.240
<v Speaker 14>happening and where young people want to be identified. And meanwhile,

0:41:20.280 --> 0:41:23.160
<v Speaker 14>the Democratic Party is the party of kind of cringe

0:41:23.719 --> 0:41:28.080
<v Speaker 14>and old people and wealth and the establishment and this

0:41:28.200 --> 0:41:33.360
<v Speaker 14>kind of staid attachment to failing ideas and failing cities. So,

0:41:33.560 --> 0:41:35.920
<v Speaker 14>you know, the cultural realignment I think is just as

0:41:35.960 --> 0:41:39.440
<v Speaker 14>significant as the political and the class realignment.

0:41:42.080 --> 0:41:42.920
<v Speaker 3>Oh absolutely.

0:41:42.960 --> 0:41:47.720
<v Speaker 2>I mean the Democrats have just become the party of victimhood,

0:41:47.880 --> 0:41:53.480
<v Speaker 2>of miserable women and wakemen, and it's like you're O,

0:41:53.680 --> 0:41:56.399
<v Speaker 2>it's not a cool group to be a part of.

0:41:56.719 --> 0:41:59.640
<v Speaker 2>Who would have thought twenty thirty years ago that it

0:41:59.640 --> 0:42:02.120
<v Speaker 2>would be the right side of politics that would be

0:42:02.200 --> 0:42:04.920
<v Speaker 2>championing free speech and free expression.

0:42:05.480 --> 0:42:07.960
<v Speaker 3>No one saw that coming. And an end to wars

0:42:08.360 --> 0:42:08.919
<v Speaker 3>when you've got.

0:42:08.800 --> 0:42:12.080
<v Speaker 2>The Democrats wanting to fund these forever wars.

0:42:12.600 --> 0:42:14.680
<v Speaker 3>But yeah, it's always a pleasure. Thank you so much

0:42:14.719 --> 0:42:15.520
<v Speaker 3>for your time tonight.

0:42:16.080 --> 0:42:17.880
<v Speaker 14>Thank you so much, Prida, God bless you.

0:42:17.960 --> 0:42:18.240
<v Speaker 1>Always.

0:42:18.280 --> 0:42:20.000
<v Speaker 14>Wonderful being here with you and your audience.

0:42:20.560 --> 0:42:21.279
<v Speaker 3>Still to come.

0:42:21.400 --> 0:42:25.920
<v Speaker 2>The popular Australian comic has declared all vegans are idiots.

0:42:26.400 --> 0:42:38.480
<v Speaker 3>Is here to explain himself. Welcome back now.

0:42:38.560 --> 0:42:42.279
<v Speaker 2>My next guest has declared that all vegans are idiots.

0:42:42.320 --> 0:42:46.160
<v Speaker 2>His comic and author Isaac Butterfield, currently performing at the

0:42:46.160 --> 0:42:49.120
<v Speaker 2>Comics Lounge in Melbourne for the next few nights before

0:42:49.239 --> 0:42:51.960
<v Speaker 2>heading to Queensland. He'll be in Queensland and New South

0:42:51.960 --> 0:42:56.520
<v Speaker 2>Wales in maye June. Get your tickets early. Here's popular Isaac.

0:42:56.880 --> 0:42:59.919
<v Speaker 2>Welcome back to the program. Let's start with.

0:42:59.840 --> 0:43:02.280
<v Speaker 3>Your deep disdain for vegans.

0:43:02.280 --> 0:43:04.359
<v Speaker 2>I don't understand this. I mean, what have they ever

0:43:04.400 --> 0:43:07.600
<v Speaker 2>done to you? They're just they're malnourished. To begin with,

0:43:07.680 --> 0:43:08.800
<v Speaker 2>you should have some sympathy.

0:43:09.400 --> 0:43:12.160
<v Speaker 6>Well, they are the worst people on earth. Read I

0:43:12.160 --> 0:43:14.919
<v Speaker 6>don't know if you know that. It's it's well documented.

0:43:15.000 --> 0:43:18.520
<v Speaker 1>But I tell you what. I see these people around.

0:43:18.560 --> 0:43:21.680
<v Speaker 6>I see them on trams and public transport, particularly here

0:43:21.680 --> 0:43:22.240
<v Speaker 6>in Melbourne.

0:43:22.280 --> 0:43:23.600
<v Speaker 1>It's just you can really you.

0:43:23.560 --> 0:43:25.799
<v Speaker 3>Have a disproportionate number in Melbourne, don't we.

0:43:25.760 --> 0:43:28.560
<v Speaker 6>There is a lot of them, and they are They're

0:43:28.600 --> 0:43:29.200
<v Speaker 6>bad people.

0:43:29.320 --> 0:43:30.000
<v Speaker 1>They're bad people.

0:43:30.200 --> 0:43:33.920
<v Speaker 2>Why do you say that, because, let me play Devil's advocate,

0:43:34.000 --> 0:43:37.960
<v Speaker 2>they'll say, we're making a sacrifice for the good of others,

0:43:37.960 --> 0:43:40.480
<v Speaker 2>for the good of the planet, perhaps for the good

0:43:40.480 --> 0:43:44.800
<v Speaker 2>of animals. So why you say they're the worst people, Well.

0:43:44.640 --> 0:43:47.520
<v Speaker 6>They're very hypocritical. In fact, if you just look at

0:43:47.560 --> 0:43:50.719
<v Speaker 6>things like crop deaths. When you come to crop deaths,

0:43:50.840 --> 0:43:53.239
<v Speaker 6>I'm telling you right now, because of you, they only

0:43:53.320 --> 0:43:56.840
<v Speaker 6>eat veggies. They are responsible for far more animal souls

0:43:57.000 --> 0:44:00.200
<v Speaker 6>drifting into the afterlife than it's happened to be Now

0:44:00.239 --> 0:44:02.279
<v Speaker 6>you can say that, hey, a lot of those crop

0:44:02.320 --> 0:44:05.759
<v Speaker 6>deaths are related to the feed for animals that we

0:44:05.840 --> 0:44:08.839
<v Speaker 6>may eat. But in reality, I don't really have too

0:44:08.920 --> 0:44:10.960
<v Speaker 6>much of a worry about mice and things like that

0:44:11.360 --> 0:44:13.280
<v Speaker 6>when they happen to So I think.

0:44:13.160 --> 0:44:14.640
<v Speaker 1>These guys are just they're just.

0:44:16.840 --> 0:44:19.239
<v Speaker 6>Vitamin B twelve has a lot to do with the

0:44:19.680 --> 0:44:22.240
<v Speaker 6>brain and how the brain develops and how the brain operates,

0:44:22.280 --> 0:44:24.760
<v Speaker 6>and these guys just happen to be lacking in all

0:44:24.880 --> 0:44:25.640
<v Speaker 6>of those fields.

0:44:25.640 --> 0:44:26.439
<v Speaker 1>And it's quite sad.

0:44:26.600 --> 0:44:29.319
<v Speaker 2>You know, you can get B twelve supplements. You just

0:44:29.360 --> 0:44:31.440
<v Speaker 2>get the injections over the counter at the chemist.

0:44:31.520 --> 0:44:31.960
<v Speaker 3>I do that.

0:44:32.120 --> 0:44:34.880
<v Speaker 2>So I'm not giving health advice here, but perhaps that

0:44:34.880 --> 0:44:35.319
<v Speaker 2>would help.

0:44:35.360 --> 0:44:36.160
<v Speaker 1>It sounds like you are.

0:44:36.200 --> 0:44:38.319
<v Speaker 6>It sounds like you're arguing with me, and I don't

0:44:38.360 --> 0:44:38.960
<v Speaker 6>appreciate that.

0:44:39.040 --> 0:44:41.040
<v Speaker 1>Rder. I think we need to go harder at the vegans,

0:44:41.080 --> 0:44:41.920
<v Speaker 1>and I think we should.

0:44:42.200 --> 0:44:43.040
<v Speaker 3>How can you sport them?

0:44:43.200 --> 0:44:43.359
<v Speaker 11>Say?

0:44:43.440 --> 0:44:47.080
<v Speaker 2>You see them around, but they're not advertising their veganism,

0:44:47.120 --> 0:44:47.440
<v Speaker 2>are they?

0:44:47.680 --> 0:44:48.480
<v Speaker 3>How can you tell?

0:44:48.719 --> 0:44:53.560
<v Speaker 6>Usually they look at me with utter disdain and hatred

0:44:53.719 --> 0:44:54.960
<v Speaker 6>and vitriol.

0:44:54.680 --> 0:44:56.040
<v Speaker 3>Because you're a white male.

0:44:56.360 --> 0:44:59.000
<v Speaker 6>Because the four thousand videos I've made about them on

0:44:59.040 --> 0:45:03.040
<v Speaker 6>the internet something I am the vegan enemy number one.

0:45:03.160 --> 0:45:04.000
<v Speaker 1>Don't worry about.

0:45:03.840 --> 0:45:05.000
<v Speaker 3>That, well, you were.

0:45:05.680 --> 0:45:08.920
<v Speaker 2>Your following is astonishing. I'm just going to tell the

0:45:08.960 --> 0:45:12.920
<v Speaker 2>audience a little bit about how many followers subscribers you have.

0:45:13.040 --> 0:45:15.120
<v Speaker 2>You are very one of the very first comics in

0:45:15.160 --> 0:45:20.040
<v Speaker 2>Australia to really tap into this big demand for content

0:45:20.200 --> 0:45:26.719
<v Speaker 2>that is unapologetically male masculine, that speaks to young men

0:45:26.760 --> 0:45:30.799
<v Speaker 2>in particular, and your following shows that you've got more

0:45:30.800 --> 0:45:33.920
<v Speaker 2>than two point two million subscribers on YouTube alone, And

0:45:34.200 --> 0:45:37.120
<v Speaker 2>to give the audience a comparison, that's more than Channel

0:45:37.239 --> 0:45:40.239
<v Speaker 2>nine has. It's more than Channel ten, channel seven. You've

0:45:40.280 --> 0:45:42.640
<v Speaker 2>got some ways to go to catch Sky News Australia.

0:45:42.920 --> 0:45:44.040
<v Speaker 3>I've got more than five million.

0:45:44.120 --> 0:45:45.959
<v Speaker 1>But see you guys going off every week.

0:45:47.000 --> 0:45:50.160
<v Speaker 2>But why do you think there is such a great

0:45:50.280 --> 0:45:52.120
<v Speaker 2>demand for the content that you create?

0:45:52.320 --> 0:45:52.920
<v Speaker 1>Well, I just.

0:45:53.000 --> 0:45:55.920
<v Speaker 6>Think that a lot of young dudes, dudes who are

0:45:55.920 --> 0:45:59.239
<v Speaker 6>getting into their twenties even and even older guys, they

0:45:59.400 --> 0:46:03.560
<v Speaker 6>just have a certain way of their humor is a

0:46:03.560 --> 0:46:06.520
<v Speaker 6>little bit different to what perhaps a lot of people

0:46:06.560 --> 0:46:10.520
<v Speaker 6>in the wider community are fed, and particularly with the

0:46:10.560 --> 0:46:14.200
<v Speaker 6>mainstream way that's distributed, whether it be TV.

0:46:14.040 --> 0:46:15.880
<v Speaker 1>Or right now the Melbourne Comedy Festival.

0:46:15.880 --> 0:46:17.919
<v Speaker 6>I see a lot of comedians around that I've seen

0:46:18.000 --> 0:46:20.520
<v Speaker 6>live and I don't particularly enjoy their here. And that's

0:46:20.560 --> 0:46:22.920
<v Speaker 6>not to say they're not great and wonderful for some people,

0:46:23.200 --> 0:46:27.280
<v Speaker 6>but for me, who and I enjoy really hard hitting,

0:46:27.440 --> 0:46:31.120
<v Speaker 6>a horrible humor if you will, that's just not going

0:46:31.160 --> 0:46:33.040
<v Speaker 6>to crack it. And I think that's where people like

0:46:33.160 --> 0:46:33.759
<v Speaker 6>me come in.

0:46:34.360 --> 0:46:34.800
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:46:34.840 --> 0:46:38.520
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely, you just get onto the content that the other

0:46:38.600 --> 0:46:40.960
<v Speaker 2>comics I think want to do, but they're just too

0:46:41.040 --> 0:46:43.520
<v Speaker 2>afraid of being canceled, coppying, some sort.

0:46:43.360 --> 0:46:46.800
<v Speaker 3>Of a backlash. And I'm just going to play you

0:46:46.840 --> 0:46:47.399
<v Speaker 3>a little clip.

0:46:47.440 --> 0:46:50.759
<v Speaker 2>It's political for a second, because Labour's also keen to

0:46:50.840 --> 0:46:54.879
<v Speaker 2>tap into that social media market that youngsters consume. They're

0:46:54.880 --> 0:46:57.200
<v Speaker 2>putting out all these videos leading up to the election.

0:46:57.320 --> 0:47:00.359
<v Speaker 2>One of the most prolific is the Housing Minister Claire Neil.

0:47:00.840 --> 0:47:04.640
<v Speaker 2>Let's look at this video about avocado toast and housing.

0:47:04.880 --> 0:47:08.600
<v Speaker 18>Despite all the conservative media says, this is not the

0:47:08.680 --> 0:47:11.359
<v Speaker 18>reason that you can't afford a house in Australia. This

0:47:11.400 --> 0:47:14.400
<v Speaker 18>is the reason for more than a generation, Australian governments

0:47:14.400 --> 0:47:16.760
<v Speaker 18>have sat back and done very little about a housing

0:47:16.800 --> 0:47:19.400
<v Speaker 18>crisis that was building and building. Well, that'll change when

0:47:19.440 --> 0:47:22.319
<v Speaker 18>the Albanezy government was elected in twenty twenty two. We're

0:47:22.320 --> 0:47:24.160
<v Speaker 18>trying to build one point two million homes.

0:47:24.719 --> 0:47:26.920
<v Speaker 2>First of all, I don't know why I was included

0:47:26.920 --> 0:47:29.279
<v Speaker 2>in that little graphic she popped up, because I've never

0:47:29.320 --> 0:47:32.319
<v Speaker 2>said anything about avocados and housing. So Claire, get your

0:47:32.320 --> 0:47:35.919
<v Speaker 2>stuff together. But I'm critical of these ads. I think

0:47:35.960 --> 0:47:40.360
<v Speaker 2>they're cringe lame. They don't do anything. But you're actually

0:47:40.360 --> 0:47:42.680
<v Speaker 2>in that demographic that she's trying to reach.

0:47:44.120 --> 0:47:47.960
<v Speaker 3>Is that effective? Is labor doing social media?

0:47:48.000 --> 0:47:50.719
<v Speaker 6>Well, well, there's a lot of young people that may

0:47:50.840 --> 0:47:54.239
<v Speaker 6>never own a home and that's a real shame for them.

0:47:54.320 --> 0:47:58.560
<v Speaker 6>It's quite a before stand up and before the Internet

0:47:58.640 --> 0:48:00.960
<v Speaker 6>came along and I became a big and a celebrity

0:48:00.960 --> 0:48:03.799
<v Speaker 6>and an amazing human being, the prospect of me owning

0:48:03.800 --> 0:48:05.759
<v Speaker 6>a home was very slim and I was lucky enough

0:48:05.800 --> 0:48:07.480
<v Speaker 6>to get to that point where I was able to

0:48:07.520 --> 0:48:09.760
<v Speaker 6>do that several in fact, and.

0:48:09.840 --> 0:48:10.920
<v Speaker 1>Now I'm a much better person.

0:48:10.960 --> 0:48:13.399
<v Speaker 6>But it is, it is really scary for a lot

0:48:13.400 --> 0:48:14.759
<v Speaker 6>of young people out there, and I think with the

0:48:14.760 --> 0:48:17.480
<v Speaker 6>election coming out, this is going to be a massive issue.

0:48:17.480 --> 0:48:21.040
<v Speaker 6>At play for younger people, and I do worry that

0:48:21.160 --> 0:48:23.560
<v Speaker 6>they look at both parties and they go, who's going

0:48:23.640 --> 0:48:25.040
<v Speaker 6>to help us? Where are we going to get this

0:48:25.640 --> 0:48:28.680
<v Speaker 6>outrageous cash from that we seem to need to be

0:48:28.719 --> 0:48:29.680
<v Speaker 6>able to buy a home.

0:48:29.800 --> 0:48:31.680
<v Speaker 1>So it's tough out there for young folks.

0:48:31.719 --> 0:48:33.719
<v Speaker 6>But I mean, even when it comes to things like

0:48:33.760 --> 0:48:36.400
<v Speaker 6>the avocado toast, breakfasts are.

0:48:36.239 --> 0:48:39.399
<v Speaker 1>Going up, all right, and that's it's rough out there.

0:48:39.520 --> 0:48:41.960
<v Speaker 3>I'm luddy, I'm a young thirty bucks.

0:48:42.200 --> 0:48:44.319
<v Speaker 1>You are kids meals? It's outrageous.

0:48:44.400 --> 0:48:47.200
<v Speaker 6>Can you believe what they charge for kids meals?

0:48:46.440 --> 0:48:48.240
<v Speaker 1>R It just goes on the floor.

0:48:48.520 --> 0:48:51.000
<v Speaker 3>Back in my day, kids eight for free. That's the

0:48:51.040 --> 0:48:51.839
<v Speaker 3>way it should be.

0:48:51.840 --> 0:48:54.720
<v Speaker 2>Beautiful, Isaac waterfeel thank you so much for your time.

0:48:54.840 --> 0:48:57.359
<v Speaker 3>And that's all the time we have. I'll see you

0:48:57.440 --> 0:48:59.759
<v Speaker 3>at eleven tomorrow. Up next is news.

0:48:59.920 --> 0:48:59.960
<v Speaker 16>I
