WEBVTT - The Rita Panahi Show | 26 June 0:00:02.960 --> 0:00:07.400 On Scylands Australia. This is the Wader Panalty Show. 0:00:09.720 --> 0:00:12.440 Good evening and welcome to the reader Panehy show. Coming 0:00:12.520 --> 0:00:13.000 up tonight. 0:00:13.080 --> 0:00:17.040 The Albanezy government under renewed pressure to increase defense spending. 0:00:17.520 --> 0:00:19.799 Dan Wilde would be here to discuss the day's. 0:00:19.520 --> 0:00:23.560 Top headlines, including the ABC squandering more than a million 0:00:23.600 --> 0:00:27.000 dollars in taxpayer money on unnecessary legal fees. 0:00:27.400 --> 0:00:28.880 The Great Douglas Murray. 0:00:28.720 --> 0:00:31.880 Joins me shortly with a message for self loathing lefties 0:00:31.880 --> 0:00:35.080 in the West. M Horowitz will have the latest from 0:00:35.120 --> 0:00:38.599 the US, and later in the hour Kinsey Schofield will 0:00:38.640 --> 0:00:41.880 tell us why George Clooney was rubbing shoulders with King 0:00:42.120 --> 0:00:47.760 Charles and left is losing it features this charmer stopped. 0:00:48.040 --> 0:00:51.000 Come on my page and say that people should be 0:00:51.120 --> 0:00:52.199 in this contrivilibly. 0:00:52.479 --> 0:00:56.040 Don't do it. This is ridiculous, it's inhuman. 0:00:56.640 --> 0:01:00.240 But first, the Australian government is under intense pressure to 0:01:00.280 --> 0:01:05.080 increase defense spending after NATO leaders back Donald Trump's increase 0:01:05.120 --> 0:01:09.640 spending demands. Despite many NATO leaders agree to spend five 0:01:09.720 --> 0:01:13.520 percent of their respective GDPs on defense, the Albinezer government 0:01:13.680 --> 0:01:17.759 is refusing requests to lift our defense spending to three 0:01:17.840 --> 0:01:22.000 point five percent of GDP. Let's bring in Deputy executive 0:01:22.040 --> 0:01:25.160 director at the Institute of Public Affairs, Dan Wild. Dan 0:01:26.440 --> 0:01:30.320 is Australian danger of becoming an outlier here, We're becoming 0:01:30.319 --> 0:01:34.240 some sort of a recalcitrant ally that is not doing 0:01:34.280 --> 0:01:36.080 our bit for defense. 0:01:39.160 --> 0:01:41.319 Well that's right, rider, Yes we are in danger of 0:01:41.360 --> 0:01:42.360 becoming an outlier. 0:01:42.840 --> 0:01:44.040 We probably already are one. 0:01:44.600 --> 0:01:47.760 And look, the point here is that, yes, we need 0:01:47.800 --> 0:01:50.920 to increase our defense spending as a percentage of our GDP, 0:01:51.560 --> 0:01:53.960 and yes we need to make sure that that is 0:01:54.000 --> 0:01:57.440 being spent on more effective things. But we shouldn't just 0:01:57.520 --> 0:01:59.840 be doing it because the United States or Donald Trump 0:01:59.880 --> 0:02:01.080 has requested it of us. 0:02:01.360 --> 0:02:03.080 We need to do it for its own sake. 0:02:03.720 --> 0:02:07.040 We have been underspending and under investing in our defense 0:02:07.080 --> 0:02:10.200 capabilities for a long time now, and so we need 0:02:10.240 --> 0:02:12.040 to make sure that we're catching up. 0:02:12.240 --> 0:02:13.320 We also need to make. 0:02:13.200 --> 0:02:16.400 Sure that we are a reliable ally to the United 0:02:16.400 --> 0:02:19.000 States and our other Western partners, which we have not been. 0:02:19.440 --> 0:02:20.480 And I think a part. 0:02:20.240 --> 0:02:22.720 Of this reason REATA is because there is a very 0:02:22.760 --> 0:02:27.920 anti American sentiment that exists in sections of the Labor Party, 0:02:27.960 --> 0:02:31.959 and there is certainly an anti Donald Trump sentiment that exists. 0:02:32.040 --> 0:02:33.880 And look, Trump, whether you like him or not, he's 0:02:33.919 --> 0:02:35.399 not going to be president in three and a half 0:02:35.480 --> 0:02:37.680 years time. So you've got to get along with the 0:02:37.680 --> 0:02:41.520 president that's there at the moment, and too many within 0:02:41.520 --> 0:02:43.520 the Labor Party are not interested in doing that. 0:02:45.880 --> 0:02:48.240 Well, the way things are going in the US, we're 0:02:48.400 --> 0:02:51.440 likely to see a president JD. Van So they think 0:02:51.560 --> 0:02:55.200 things are kind of changing in America, they'll be sadly mistaken. Now, 0:02:55.240 --> 0:02:58.000 this was very interesting, I thought during Donald Trump's press 0:02:58.000 --> 0:03:01.800 conference in the early hours of this morning at NATO, 0:03:02.120 --> 0:03:05.880 where he noted that Spain was one of the countries 0:03:05.919 --> 0:03:10.280 that refused to abide by his increased spending demands and 0:03:10.880 --> 0:03:13.639 Donald Trump had a remedy for that. And I think 0:03:14.120 --> 0:03:18.360 the Albaneza government should pay very careful attention to these comments. 0:03:18.680 --> 0:03:19.720 Of course, you know a Spain. 0:03:19.840 --> 0:03:21.840 Are you satisfied with today? 0:03:21.880 --> 0:03:21.960 Oh? 0:03:22.000 --> 0:03:25.200 I think Spain's are terrible what they've done, No, I do. 0:03:25.360 --> 0:03:28.079 They're the only country that won't pay the full up 0:03:28.520 --> 0:03:30.680 they want to stay at two percent. I think it's terrible. 0:03:30.720 --> 0:03:32.600 And you know, they're doing very well. The economy is 0:03:32.720 --> 0:03:35.880 very well, and that economy could be blown right out 0:03:35.880 --> 0:03:38.120 of the water with something bad happening. Know, Spain is 0:03:38.160 --> 0:03:42.040 the only country that are you from Spain, good congratulations. 0:03:42.720 --> 0:03:45.400 You're the only country that is not paying. I don't 0:03:45.440 --> 0:03:47.720 know what the problem is. It's I think it's too bad. 0:03:48.200 --> 0:03:49.560 So we'll make it up. You know what we're going 0:03:49.640 --> 0:03:52.280 to do. We're negotiating with Spain on a trade deal. 0:03:52.600 --> 0:03:54.480 We're going to make them pay twice as much. And 0:03:54.520 --> 0:03:56.280 I'm actually serious about there. 0:03:56.320 --> 0:03:59.120 You go, well make it up. Is that what Australia 0:03:59.200 --> 0:04:01.880 can look for or what do I wonder? And we 0:04:01.960 --> 0:04:06.160 haven't yet negotiated a trade deal, a a deal on 0:04:06.320 --> 0:04:10.000 tariffs with the US. And I do wonder whether our 0:04:10.000 --> 0:04:13.080 reluctance to do anything about our defense spending is part 0:04:13.120 --> 0:04:15.800 of the reason Donald Trump is refusing to meet for 0:04:15.840 --> 0:04:17.000 the Anthony Now been easy. 0:04:19.920 --> 0:04:22.919 I think that's likely. And you know Trump has used 0:04:22.960 --> 0:04:26.480 and even said this. He said this repeatedly, that one 0:04:26.520 --> 0:04:29.039 of the purposes of tariffs is to get revenue, and 0:04:29.080 --> 0:04:31.280 the other purpose of tariffs is to use it as 0:04:31.360 --> 0:04:34.280 leverage and as a bargaining chip for other matters. He's 0:04:34.279 --> 0:04:36.760 been very explicit about that. So it shouldn't come as 0:04:36.760 --> 0:04:38.599 a surprise that that's exactly what he's doing, or what 0:04:38.640 --> 0:04:40.120 he said he's going to do in the case of Spain. 0:04:40.200 --> 0:04:42.760 So yes, we need to be aware of that. 0:04:42.880 --> 0:04:45.839 But like I said before, whether Trump was president, whether 0:04:45.920 --> 0:04:48.880 Kamala Harris or Joe Biden or anyone, we needed to 0:04:48.880 --> 0:04:52.280 increase our defense spending no matter what. And like I say, 0:04:52.320 --> 0:04:54.480 we need to spend it on more effective things like drones, 0:04:54.600 --> 0:04:56.520 for example, And I don't understand why we don't have 0:04:56.560 --> 0:04:59.479 that capability in our country. So, you know, whatever the 0:04:59.560 --> 0:05:02.040 US president that says, he'll say, but we need to 0:05:02.080 --> 0:05:04.120 do the right thing for our country, which means increasing 0:05:04.160 --> 0:05:04.920 our defense spending. 0:05:07.360 --> 0:05:10.520 Now let's hear from the Senator for Sea Patrol, as 0:05:10.560 --> 0:05:13.880 some have called her, her thoughts on the US president. 0:05:13.960 --> 0:05:16.719 Here is the Greens Sarah Hanson Young. 0:05:17.080 --> 0:05:20.560 I think the world is a much more unstable and 0:05:20.839 --> 0:05:24.600 insecure place with Donald Trump as US president. 0:05:25.000 --> 0:05:26.000 He is dangerous. 0:05:26.240 --> 0:05:27.840 And on one. 0:05:27.640 --> 0:05:30.360 Hand, you just say, oh, he's just a medium megalomaniac, 0:05:30.480 --> 0:05:33.320 it's just all about the attention. I think that's true, 0:05:33.360 --> 0:05:35.920 But I also think he's very dangerous and I think. 0:05:35.720 --> 0:05:37.800 His far right views, his. 0:05:38.000 --> 0:05:43.320 Erraticness, together with his obsession with attention makes the world 0:05:43.360 --> 0:05:44.440 a really unsafe place. 0:05:44.680 --> 0:05:46.560 Dan, what's your response to that. 0:05:50.040 --> 0:05:52.200 Well, I think the problem here is there's just a 0:05:52.279 --> 0:05:56.160 series of assertions without any substance. I mean, what are 0:05:56.200 --> 0:05:59.560 the far right views that Donald Trump holds? Is removing 0:05:59.640 --> 0:06:03.440 nuclear facilities from Iran? A far right view? Is securing 0:06:03.480 --> 0:06:07.599 your borders. A far right view is having an alternative 0:06:07.640 --> 0:06:10.479 economic system that brings manufacturing back to your country a 0:06:10.560 --> 0:06:13.720 far right view. What exactly are the far right views 0:06:13.760 --> 0:06:17.240 that Donald Trump is claim to hold and this idea 0:06:17.279 --> 0:06:20.120 that he's erratic and so forth. I mean, maybe he is, 0:06:20.240 --> 0:06:22.960 maybe he isn't, But I just think that it's a 0:06:23.000 --> 0:06:26.120 strategy that he uses to try to get the outcomes 0:06:26.160 --> 0:06:26.920 that he wants. 0:06:27.000 --> 0:06:30.520 So I think it is unhelpful. 0:06:29.960 --> 0:06:33.000 To have a senator to be making these claims on 0:06:33.480 --> 0:06:35.919 like a very personal level. I mean, you're entitled to 0:06:35.920 --> 0:06:38.279 have your views and to express them, but to be 0:06:38.520 --> 0:06:42.080 sort of having a personal attack on the United States president, 0:06:42.160 --> 0:06:44.360 I think doesn't help our country. And like I say, 0:06:44.400 --> 0:06:47.520 those comments, which is more entitled to make, but they 0:06:47.520 --> 0:06:50.000 don't have any substance, and they're sort of based upon 0:06:50.320 --> 0:06:52.279 really the vibe of it rather than pointing to any 0:06:52.360 --> 0:06:56.239 think concrete, Yes. 0:06:56.240 --> 0:07:02.760 Just intellectually vacuous. And the Greens are the government's coalition partners. 0:07:02.760 --> 0:07:05.240 They've got their balance of power in the Upper House. 0:07:05.320 --> 0:07:09.040 They are going to be working together undoubtedly throughout this term. 0:07:09.400 --> 0:07:12.160 So it's also reckless in many ways to be making 0:07:12.200 --> 0:07:14.560 comments like that, and she went on to question the 0:07:14.640 --> 0:07:18.480 alliance Australia has with the US. Now I want to 0:07:18.520 --> 0:07:21.200 move on to the ABC. A Federal court judge has 0:07:21.240 --> 0:07:25.600 found that journalist Antoinette Latoufe was unfairly sacked by the 0:07:25.640 --> 0:07:32.240 ABC midway through her five day radio contract. Latoufas claimed 0:07:32.280 --> 0:07:36.000 she was unlawfully dismissed by the ABC in December of 0:07:36.040 --> 0:07:39.840 twenty twenty three after she reshared an Instagram post about 0:07:39.920 --> 0:07:43.640 the war in Gaza which accused Israel of using starvation 0:07:43.920 --> 0:07:45.320 as a weapon of war. 0:07:46.160 --> 0:07:47.400 Daniel, It's worth. 0:07:47.280 --> 0:07:51.320 Noting here that the ABC sacked her, but it has 0:07:51.440 --> 0:07:55.880 protected and stood by more high profile reporters. And I 0:07:55.920 --> 0:07:59.480 think just as importantly, they spent one point one million 0:07:59.520 --> 0:08:03.840 dollars of our money defending this case when they could 0:08:03.840 --> 0:08:06.239 have settled it for eighty five thousand dollars. 0:08:06.320 --> 0:08:08.120 Where is the accountability here? 0:08:10.880 --> 0:08:11.480 Well, exactly. 0:08:11.520 --> 0:08:13.160 I mean to me, this is a case of can't 0:08:13.200 --> 0:08:17.280 they both lose? And I think it's you know, the 0:08:17.360 --> 0:08:20.520 ABC is you know, you live by the sword and 0:08:20.560 --> 0:08:23.640 you die by the sword. You know, the ABC has 0:08:23.680 --> 0:08:28.400 a history of trying to silence those that don't share 0:08:28.480 --> 0:08:32.800 its worldview. It's clearly a double standard, as you've rightly 0:08:32.840 --> 0:08:36.640 pointed out that they've stood by other high profile hosts 0:08:36.840 --> 0:08:39.440 or so called journalists and reporters, but haven't done so 0:08:40.320 --> 0:08:43.760 in this case. And as you also say, well, it's 0:08:43.760 --> 0:08:46.480 not their money, it's it's our money. It's the tax 0:08:46.480 --> 0:08:50.840 pays money that has gone into this case. So you know, 0:08:50.920 --> 0:08:53.200 the ABC likes to hold itself up as being this 0:08:53.280 --> 0:08:56.360 sort of beacon of impartiality, of being above the fray, 0:08:56.520 --> 0:08:59.240 of you know, being an important sort of beacon of 0:09:00.080 --> 0:09:04.000 truth in our society. But you know, when it comes 0:09:04.040 --> 0:09:07.520 down to it, they are hypocritical and there is clearly 0:09:07.559 --> 0:09:09.720 a double standard that applies here. But you know, like 0:09:09.760 --> 0:09:12.320 I say, it's lived by the sword, die by the sword. 0:09:14.840 --> 0:09:19.600 Now staying in Victoria, Melbourne street sweeper sacked by Daribin 0:09:19.840 --> 0:09:24.680 City Council after objecting to acknowledgment of country announcements well 0:09:24.720 --> 0:09:28.880 here's one his unfair dismissal case. Shawn Turner told the 0:09:28.920 --> 0:09:31.920 meeting that if you need to be thanking anyone, it's 0:09:31.960 --> 0:09:34.800 the people who have worn the uniform and fought for 0:09:34.880 --> 0:09:37.079 our country to keep us free. 0:09:37.520 --> 0:09:37.880 Daniel. 0:09:38.520 --> 0:09:43.040 It's just absolutely appalling that he had to take legal 0:09:43.080 --> 0:09:46.520 action to protect his rights. I think this is just 0:09:46.800 --> 0:09:49.160 shameful behavior from Darbin Council. 0:09:51.840 --> 0:09:54.520 Oh, it was that absolute disgrace. And you know, this 0:09:54.600 --> 0:09:57.600 street sweeper is an absolute hero. I mean he is. 0:09:57.720 --> 0:10:01.120 What he has said is what the vast majority of 0:10:01.160 --> 0:10:02.760 mainstream Australians believe. 0:10:02.800 --> 0:10:03.840 I mean, this guy should. 0:10:03.640 --> 0:10:06.160 Be the leader of the liberal factly, you know, he's 0:10:06.200 --> 0:10:08.640 got a finger on the pulse on these issues. So 0:10:09.200 --> 0:10:12.920 you know, the idea that someone should be sacked for 0:10:13.000 --> 0:10:15.160 saying this show is not only how out of touch 0:10:15.800 --> 0:10:18.520 that particular council is, but you know it's this broader 0:10:18.559 --> 0:10:22.319 thing of the activist left will shout you down, they'll 0:10:22.440 --> 0:10:24.520 kick you out of your job, they'll take your money, 0:10:25.000 --> 0:10:28.679 they'll ruin your reputation if you don't sign up to 0:10:28.720 --> 0:10:33.400 their divisive social activism. So look, I hope that this 0:10:33.559 --> 0:10:37.199 is yet another example of how mainstream Australians have just 0:10:37.200 --> 0:10:40.120 had an absolute gutful of the overuse of welcome the 0:10:40.160 --> 0:10:43.240 country and acknowledgment of country ceremonies. And to be honest, 0:10:43.280 --> 0:10:45.040 I just think it's time to put the practice to 0:10:45.080 --> 0:10:48.160 bed and do something that can unify us as a 0:10:48.200 --> 0:10:51.400 society rather than doing what's you know, ultimately dividing us. 0:10:53.440 --> 0:10:53.640 Well. 0:10:53.679 --> 0:10:56.600 I do recall Professor Marshall Langton saying that if the 0:10:56.679 --> 0:10:59.640 voice was defeated, we would have no more of these 0:11:00.000 --> 0:11:00.920 welcome to countries. 0:11:00.960 --> 0:11:02.120 But here we are. 0:11:02.200 --> 0:11:06.880 And on Marshall Langton, she has proclaimed her new art 0:11:06.960 --> 0:11:11.400 exhibition in Melbourne as anti colonial. Dan, will you be 0:11:11.480 --> 0:11:15.560 rushing to see this exhibition? It's called sixty five thousand 0:11:15.640 --> 0:11:18.079 Years A Short History of Australian Art. 0:11:21.160 --> 0:11:23.080 No, I think my invite got lost in the mail 0:11:23.880 --> 0:11:27.040 or something like that to go there. Look, I think 0:11:27.080 --> 0:11:31.480 the problem the problem reader is like Aboriginal art. There's 0:11:31.480 --> 0:11:34.679 nothing wrong at all with Aboriginal art and it's got 0:11:34.679 --> 0:11:36.280 a lot to contribute and I think a lot of 0:11:36.280 --> 0:11:37.400 people have an interest in it. 0:11:38.040 --> 0:11:40.160 The issue here is when you turn. 0:11:40.000 --> 0:11:44.480 It explicitly into political activism, which is what Marshall Langton 0:11:44.520 --> 0:11:47.319 is doing. But most people just get immediately turned off 0:11:47.360 --> 0:11:49.640 by it. I mean, if you're a regular person and 0:11:49.679 --> 0:11:52.160 then you see this, this is an anti colonial exhibition, 0:11:52.200 --> 0:11:53.959 well you're not going to rock up to it. What 0:11:54.120 --> 0:11:57.080 would you rock up to? Be brat and basically called 0:11:57.080 --> 0:12:00.280 a racist? Now, I think it's a shame because art 0:12:00.720 --> 0:12:03.720 should unite us. It should be something that can speak 0:12:03.760 --> 0:12:07.280 to enduring values and a shared experience of the human condition. 0:12:07.320 --> 0:12:09.280 And certainly our aboriginal art can do that, just as 0:12:09.320 --> 0:12:11.840 all art can when it's done in in its most 0:12:11.880 --> 0:12:15.720 excellent form. So again it's another example of how really 0:12:15.760 --> 0:12:18.600 a pathetic you know, a pathetic social activist is just 0:12:18.640 --> 0:12:20.640 trying to drive another wedge into our society. 0:12:22.840 --> 0:12:25.760 Dan wil thank you for your time tonight, joining me 0:12:25.840 --> 0:12:29.360 now is the best selling author of groundbreaking books, including 0:12:29.400 --> 0:12:31.960 The War on the West, The Strange Death of Europe, 0:12:32.240 --> 0:12:35.400 and his latest on democracies and death cults. 0:12:35.440 --> 0:12:37.319 Douglas Murray, welcome back. 0:12:38.240 --> 0:12:41.520 One of your best sellers is called The Strange Death 0:12:41.520 --> 0:12:45.480 of Europe, and we about to see the Strange. 0:12:44.960 --> 0:12:46.200 Death of New York. 0:12:46.320 --> 0:12:51.400 With a radical Socialists or On Mandani winning the city's 0:12:51.400 --> 0:12:55.360 democratic mayoral primary, it. 0:12:55.400 --> 0:13:01.360 Is quite extraordinary. Mandani was thought of such a rank 0:13:01.480 --> 0:13:04.800 outlier and such a fringe figure such as sort of 0:13:04.840 --> 0:13:10.280 student politician, as well as being a very very radical 0:13:10.320 --> 0:13:12.719 figure that people didn't really seem to think you could 0:13:12.760 --> 0:13:17.199 possibly get this far. Yet here he is winning the primary. 0:13:18.200 --> 0:13:22.320 This is somebody who has repeatedly shown himself to be 0:13:22.360 --> 0:13:29.720 a sort of sub AOC style radical leftist. He has 0:13:30.040 --> 0:13:32.320 terrible track record, in fact, he doesn't have much of 0:13:32.320 --> 0:13:36.160 a track work record and actually performing at anything, but 0:13:36.280 --> 0:13:38.959 he's got a horrible track record of statements. That was 0:13:39.360 --> 0:13:43.679 recently asked his views about one of the slogans about 0:13:43.720 --> 0:13:47.440 eradicating the Jewish state and just seemed not really to 0:13:47.440 --> 0:13:50.920 have anything much to say in condemning that. And New 0:13:51.000 --> 0:13:55.520 Yorkers are understandably getting worried. New York has taken a 0:13:55.520 --> 0:14:00.880 heck of a battering in recent years as radical left policies, 0:14:01.960 --> 0:14:06.520 including from the Biden eras border policies led to migrant 0:14:06.520 --> 0:14:10.640 waves into New York, that the COVID policies led to 0:14:11.400 --> 0:14:15.880 an incredible exodus from the city of wealthy people and others. 0:14:16.480 --> 0:14:19.960 You know, it's a question can New York really cope 0:14:20.200 --> 0:14:24.320 with a term under such a radical figure, or will 0:14:24.360 --> 0:14:26.800 New York just stop being New York effectively. I mean, 0:14:27.040 --> 0:14:29.880 as we've said many times, retail. You know, there's no 0:14:29.960 --> 0:14:32.360 law in nature that means that a country or a 0:14:32.360 --> 0:14:36.320 city just remains at the peak forever if it keeps 0:14:36.320 --> 0:14:39.560 on being battered by politicians who hated. 0:14:41.760 --> 0:14:45.000 And we've seen the decline in many Western cities are 0:14:45.040 --> 0:14:49.400 great cities, and it's sad to see, particularly a place 0:14:49.520 --> 0:14:52.520 like New York. But ma'am, Darnie does have plenty of 0:14:53.280 --> 0:14:57.920 high profile supporters, from supermodels to popular streamers. 0:14:58.000 --> 0:14:59.840 Let's hear from just a couple of them. 0:15:00.080 --> 0:15:02.480 Text to your friends and family, because we need everybody 0:15:02.760 --> 0:15:04.160 to come out and make sure you're drinking water. 0:15:04.160 --> 0:15:04.800 If this's a very. 0:15:04.720 --> 0:15:07.280 Hunted this election is going to be decided by young voters. 0:15:07.320 --> 0:15:09.680 The average New Yorker is thirty eight years old. 0:15:09.760 --> 0:15:13.040 The last mayoral race was decided by seven thousand voters. 0:15:13.080 --> 0:15:14.880 That means that your vote really matters. 0:15:15.840 --> 0:15:18.320 I supported him because he's the only non Zionist candidate 0:15:18.360 --> 0:15:19.120 on that stage. 0:15:19.240 --> 0:15:20.640 I thought he needed to be bond and sold. But 0:15:20.680 --> 0:15:24.440 people are energetic, people aren't tired of Zionism, and I'm excited. 0:15:24.240 --> 0:15:24.800 To see what he's got. 0:15:24.840 --> 0:15:26.120 I'm not a socialist myself. 0:15:26.520 --> 0:15:28.720 I don't want everyone to be a communist getting free stuff, 0:15:28.760 --> 0:15:30.440 but I think he has some cool ideas. 0:15:30.800 --> 0:15:31.360 There you go. 0:15:31.520 --> 0:15:34.960 He doesn't like the fact that he's a communist who 0:15:34.960 --> 0:15:38.600 wants governments to run supermarkets, but he hates Zionism. So 0:15:39.240 --> 0:15:41.000 he got Sneako's vote. 0:15:40.720 --> 0:15:42.480 And he had certainly got Emily's vote. 0:15:43.400 --> 0:15:46.960 Yeah, I mean, isn't it extraordinary He's running to be 0:15:47.040 --> 0:15:50.000 mayor of New York and the things he's really best 0:15:50.120 --> 0:15:55.000 known for is his anti Israel activism. But of course 0:15:55.040 --> 0:15:58.400 that attracts a certain type of person, as we just saw. 0:15:59.360 --> 0:16:02.160 Imagine though, I mean, this is an election to do 0:16:02.280 --> 0:16:05.000 with a mayor who can oversee quite a lot of 0:16:05.080 --> 0:16:08.320 stuff to do with the running of the city. But 0:16:08.840 --> 0:16:11.680 the mayor of New York doesn't have a foreign policy. 0:16:12.680 --> 0:16:16.680 So isn't it revealing when people like that that that 0:16:16.760 --> 0:16:21.480 guy there, sneak O. Isn't it? Yeah? That he he says, 0:16:21.520 --> 0:16:24.760 I like because he's he's not a Zionist. Well that 0:16:24.760 --> 0:16:28.760 that just means that that he gets the support of 0:16:28.840 --> 0:16:32.520 people who think, great, this guy doesn't like Jews. I 0:16:32.520 --> 0:16:34.560 don't like Jews. Let's vote for him, because what else 0:16:34.560 --> 0:16:38.600 does it mean, what, what's what's not being a Zionist 0:16:38.720 --> 0:16:42.040 got to do with being mayor of New York. Only 0:16:42.440 --> 0:16:47.600 that Mandani has repeatedly demonstrated his own prejudices. And by 0:16:47.680 --> 0:16:51.560 the way, I will predict reata with considerable certainty, and 0:16:51.560 --> 0:16:53.960 we can lay a bed on this that any criticism 0:16:54.040 --> 0:16:57.880 of Mandani in the coming days and weeks will be 0:16:57.960 --> 0:17:00.920 batted back by him and his support as being in 0:17:01.000 --> 0:17:05.680 some way bigoted, as if criticizing a bigot is in 0:17:05.760 --> 0:17:08.760 some way itself the problem. They will say, he's a Muslim, 0:17:09.000 --> 0:17:12.360 he's a recent immigrant. How dare you say anything against him? 0:17:12.880 --> 0:17:15.719 And that will, I guarantee be the playbook it will 0:17:15.800 --> 0:17:16.080 run on. 0:17:18.680 --> 0:17:21.159 Oh, no doubt. I'm not having that bet because you 0:17:21.200 --> 0:17:21.800 would win it. 0:17:22.000 --> 0:17:25.640 Now I want to take you to London, where pro 0:17:25.680 --> 0:17:29.240 Palestinian supporters continue to clash with the police. 0:17:29.320 --> 0:17:39.360 Let's have a look. Now. 0:17:39.400 --> 0:17:43.840 These were members or supporters of the Palestine Action Group 0:17:43.960 --> 0:17:46.879 at Trafalgar Square. Now this group is expected to be 0:17:46.960 --> 0:17:51.040 banned Douglas by the government, prescribed as a terrorist organization 0:17:51.200 --> 0:17:56.560 after its members allegedly vandalized two planes at an RAF base. 0:17:57.760 --> 0:18:01.720 How do you see the way Western governments have handled 0:18:01.840 --> 0:18:07.600 this uprising since October seven, particularly the British, because they've 0:18:07.600 --> 0:18:09.399 seem to have been particularly weak. 0:18:10.560 --> 0:18:13.080 Yeah, I mean they're all weak reta and it's because 0:18:13.160 --> 0:18:16.840 they don't know what to do. They've imported large populations 0:18:16.840 --> 0:18:20.399 of people who have brought their own sectarian politics to 0:18:20.480 --> 0:18:26.119 countries like Britain. Whether it's to do with Kashmir, Pakistani 0:18:26.160 --> 0:18:29.360 populations who've come to the UK or bang on about Kashmir, 0:18:29.480 --> 0:18:31.560 or the same people and others who will bang on 0:18:31.680 --> 0:18:35.240 about Middle Eastern politics, they've just brought their rife ethnic 0:18:35.359 --> 0:18:38.520 and religious hatreds with them, and the British state, like 0:18:38.600 --> 0:18:40.560 so many other countries, doesn't know what to do now 0:18:40.640 --> 0:18:42.639 other than do a bit of kumbaya. Why don't we 0:18:42.680 --> 0:18:47.400 all love the multi culty society bit. But actually, these 0:18:47.480 --> 0:18:51.480 people we're seeing there, I mean they call themselves Palestine 0:18:51.560 --> 0:18:57.440 Action and they attack RAF bases. They're just a combination 0:18:57.560 --> 0:19:04.000 of two groups of people radical mostly and absolutely hollowed 0:19:04.040 --> 0:19:08.960 out Western far leftists who believe that their life will 0:19:08.960 --> 0:19:13.800 have some kind of meaning if they pretend that the palestinees, 0:19:13.840 --> 0:19:17.560 if that's a thing, a name, a place, a state, 0:19:18.080 --> 0:19:21.199 should be foremost in all of their concerns, and you know, 0:19:21.960 --> 0:19:24.479 it's a very interesting test for a country like Britain. 0:19:25.040 --> 0:19:28.760 Can the police and others actually rein in radical groups 0:19:28.880 --> 0:19:31.960 who bring our cities to a halt because of imported 0:19:32.040 --> 0:19:36.520 bigotries and hatreds or will they just continue to allow 0:19:36.560 --> 0:19:39.560 them to run riot. So far they've just allowed them 0:19:39.560 --> 0:19:43.199 to run riot. We'll see, But if Arma were to 0:19:43.240 --> 0:19:45.439 ban them, that would seem to me to be a 0:19:45.480 --> 0:19:48.320 very good thing. You know, no other groups are allowed 0:19:48.359 --> 0:19:53.920 to shut down cities repeatedly, be hooligans, deface things, invade 0:19:53.920 --> 0:19:56.280 military bases and much more. I think there should be 0:19:56.280 --> 0:19:59.280 a price for that, and I'm very happy if Palestine 0:19:59.280 --> 0:20:01.760 action goes same way as the people they admire so 0:20:01.840 --> 0:20:05.119 much and get prescribed like Hamas and other terrorist groups. 0:20:07.359 --> 0:20:10.040 Now, Douglas, I've always made the argument that if you 0:20:10.080 --> 0:20:13.959 don't like the West and its values, then don't emigrate there. 0:20:14.200 --> 0:20:16.800 If you want to see Shariah law, then there are 0:20:16.840 --> 0:20:19.200 plenty of Muslim majority countries you could live in. 0:20:19.280 --> 0:20:21.400 But I want to play the. 0:20:21.400 --> 0:20:25.720 Response to that argument from a character called Shakil Afsa, 0:20:25.840 --> 0:20:28.000 who did very well. I've got to say the last 0:20:28.040 --> 0:20:31.520 general election in the UK, in the Hall Green constituency 0:20:31.520 --> 0:20:35.679 in Birmingham. He got the second largest vote running as 0:20:35.680 --> 0:20:36.439 an independent. 0:20:36.560 --> 0:20:38.120 Let's have a listen, City. 0:20:38.000 --> 0:20:41.359 Of Birmingham will not tolerate the disrespect of our profit. 0:20:41.400 --> 0:20:44.680 Peace be upon him and there will be outcomes from 0:20:44.680 --> 0:20:47.960 your actions. You will have repercussions for your actions. We 0:20:48.080 --> 0:20:50.240 have been trained from Bert that we must befriend the 0:20:50.240 --> 0:20:52.440 honor of our profit and we will let our life 0:20:52.480 --> 0:20:53.040 on the line. 0:20:53.320 --> 0:20:55.600 Okay, you know the other argument is okay, so if 0:20:55.640 --> 0:20:57.200 you don't like it here, I go to your own confu. 0:20:57.560 --> 0:21:00.920 But why would we do that when our fathers were 0:21:00.960 --> 0:21:04.320 instrumental in rebuilding this country after World War Two? It 0:21:04.359 --> 0:21:07.119 was our grandfathers who worked in the factory twenty twenty hours, 0:21:07.200 --> 0:21:10.240 it was our grandfathers who came here, and it was 0:21:10.320 --> 0:21:11.680 our grandfathers who brought you the. 0:21:11.640 --> 0:21:13.560 Lovely Coreer, which is a national dish. 0:21:13.800 --> 0:21:15.639 So how can you tell us to go. We're not 0:21:15.680 --> 0:21:16.280 going nowhere. 0:21:16.280 --> 0:21:17.080 We are here to stay. 0:21:17.320 --> 0:21:19.320 Like I said, we're not here to take part. We're 0:21:19.359 --> 0:21:20.080 here to take all that. 0:21:20.560 --> 0:21:22.199 Douglas, what's your response to that? 0:21:22.400 --> 0:21:26.679 The argument is their forefathers helped rebuild the UK and 0:21:26.680 --> 0:21:28.000 they're entitled to take over. 0:21:28.720 --> 0:21:31.800 Well, he can scram. As far as I'm concerned, my 0:21:31.920 --> 0:21:34.919 forefathers did a lot more, for a lot longer than his. 0:21:35.760 --> 0:21:38.560
