Speaker 1: On sky leaves Australia.
Speaker 2: This is the Wider Panalty Show. Good evening and welcome
Speaker 2: to the Riata Pattey Show. Coming up tonight, worrying data
Speaker 2: showing more than three in four jobs created in Australia
Speaker 2: last year were underwritten by taxpayers. Adam Crichton will be
Speaker 2: here to discuss that and the day's top headlines. The
Speaker 2: Green sees the balance of power in the WA Upper
Speaker 2: House Professa Ian Plimer and what that will mean for
Speaker 2: WA's resource sector. The Great Josh Hammer will have the
Speaker 2: latest from the US, Europe and Syria where Islamus are
Speaker 2: slaughtering religious minorities, including Christians, and later in the hour,
Speaker 2: Kinsey Schofield will tell us what famous celebrity has fled
Speaker 2: Trump's America for New Zealand and we never ever forget
Speaker 2: Left is losing it. Goodnight at first, The latest News
Speaker 2: poll is out and the Coalition is failing to gain ground,
Speaker 2: with fifty five percent of voters saying they don't believe
Speaker 2: the Coalition is ready to govern and Opposition leader Bitter
Speaker 2: Dutton's personal approval rating has dropped while the Prime Minister
Speaker 2: has increased his lead. He's gone from five points to
Speaker 2: a nine point lead in just the past month, and
Speaker 2: we can't look overlook Labor having its own issues. They
Speaker 2: continue to trail the coalition fifty one to forty nine
Speaker 2: percent two party preferred. Labour's primary vote is on thirty
Speaker 2: two percent, trailing the coalition on thirty nine. Let's bring
Speaker 2: in senior fellow and chief economist at the Institute of
Speaker 2: Public Affairs, Adam Crichton. Adam, what do you make of
Speaker 2: this starter? It's not particularly great news for either side,
Speaker 2: but I think the Prime Minister will be happy at
Speaker 2: has increased his lead over the opposition leader.
Speaker 3: Yes, that's true.
Speaker 1: Look at six weeks or so that I've been back
Speaker 1: in Australia, obviously I've been hobby watching politics. I have
Speaker 1: noticed that over that six weeks I would say that
Speaker 1: Dutton's chances have been marginally declining, and also in that
Speaker 1: space he's been more and more like the Labor Party. So,
Speaker 1: for instance, Labor proposed the eight and a half billion
Speaker 1: dollars on Medicare and then straightaway Dutton backed it. So
Speaker 1: all that good stuff, at least from my point of view,
Speaker 1: from last year that we saw on the nuclear energy
Speaker 1: and so forth. That's I think when the opposition leader
Speaker 1: was doing much better, but now his chances of declining.
Speaker 2: So yeah, I do wonder about some of the advice
Speaker 2: he's receiving. It took the Liberal Party ten months to
Speaker 2: pose the voice, which they should have done in approximately
Speaker 2: ten minutes because it was on the face of a
Speaker 2: bad policy. Didn't need to see further detail. But when
Speaker 2: he did oppose it, and he articulated that position so well,
Speaker 2: so strongly, I think that really is what made him
Speaker 2: seem like a future leader of the country, and he
Speaker 2: stepped back from that a little bit. Yeah, certainly, that's right.
Speaker 1: And then I think I saw last week Financial Review
Speaker 1: that the tials of all people are proposing to index
Speaker 1: the tax scales, like that is something the Liberal Party
Speaker 1: should be proposing, you would think from first principles, right,
Speaker 1: because the fact is at the moment they are not indexed,
Speaker 1: and so it is an annual tax increase year after year.
Speaker 1: So you know, well done teals for that, But that's
Speaker 1: something that should be coming from the coalition.
Speaker 2: Well, absolutely. And on a bunch of other issues where
Speaker 2: I think they're on very solid ground, a lot of
Speaker 2: these so called cultural issues. Again, there's a reluctance to
Speaker 2: lean into those fights, despite the fact that you would
Speaker 2: have the majority of labor voters with you, never mind
Speaker 2: conservative voters. But let's look at data that is far
Speaker 2: more disturbing than any news poll. The Australian Financial Review
Speaker 2: reports more than three quarters of new jobs created in
Speaker 2: twenty twenty four were in government funded industries, talking things
Speaker 2: like education, health. Now, about one third of the four
Speaker 2: hundred and eighty seven thousand jobs created last year were
Speaker 2: in the public sector, but more than three quarters of
Speaker 2: all jobs were underwritten essentially by the government. Adam, that's
Speaker 2: not great news, and not surprisingly, guess what productivity has
Speaker 2: also pummitted?
Speaker 1: Yeah, certainly the productivity in these so called non market
Speaker 1: sectors has historically and still is been very low. Basically,
Speaker 1: you know, the fact that more than three quarters in
Speaker 1: the public sector is very very concerning for Australia's future
Speaker 1: prospects because obviously all these workers are financed from tax revenue,
Speaker 1: and of course tax revenue slows economic growth. It's actually
Speaker 1: worth pointing out that on the IPA's own research, it's
Speaker 1: actually worse than three quarters. It's more than eighty two
Speaker 1: percent of jobs since August twenty twenty two have actually
Speaker 1: have actually come from the public sector, so two.
Speaker 2: And a half years, so not just the past year.
Speaker 1: Was so the growth extraordinary because overall, if you look
Speaker 1: at all of the jobs in the economy, some I
Speaker 1: think eighteen percent are in the non market sector, and
Speaker 1: yet that relatively small, small sector has accounted for more
Speaker 1: than eighty percent of the new jobs.
Speaker 4: Very worrying.
Speaker 2: I wonder what percentage the NDIS and all the related
Speaker 2: industries are possible for, because that just seems to be, well,
Speaker 2: we reletely unsustainable.
Speaker 1: We certainly saw Bill Shorton, I think he said that
Speaker 1: five hundred thousand people were employed because of the NDOTS.
Speaker 1: Now they are probably classified as private sector workers on
Speaker 1: some measures, right, but of course in reality they are
Speaker 1: really public sector workers, and they are a drain on
Speaker 1: the productivity of the economy, it must be said.
Speaker 2: Oh absolutely. And I think it's like immigration, where you
Speaker 2: can bring in an influx of people and really gain
Speaker 2: the data and make it look like you've had a
Speaker 2: big growth in GDP and everything's going well, we're having
Speaker 2: economic prosperity and growth, but when you look at the
Speaker 2: per capita data, it doesn't look so flash And this
Speaker 2: seems to be a little bit of that. Yeah, the
Speaker 2: job numbers look great, Unemployment is at a low level.
Speaker 2: But if the taxpayer is underwriting all this, and.
Speaker 1: Look they certainly are. I mean, you know, we've had
Speaker 1: over the past three or four years the biggest increase
Speaker 1: in income tax in real terms pretty much in thirty
Speaker 1: or forty years in Australia. And yet, and yet both
Speaker 1: sides of politics go on about so called tax cuts,
Speaker 1: the Stage three tax cuts. Well, look, inflation was far worse,
Speaker 1: and so because those brackets aren't index, people have actually
Speaker 1: had a big increase in tax and all of that
Speaker 1: extra money has been spent on these sorts of public
Speaker 1: sector jobs. It's very worrying both sides are not really
Speaker 1: putting forward good solutions for Australia's future.
Speaker 2: Now, the WA election was over the week ken the
Speaker 2: Liberals performed terribly. The government has been returned their Labor
Speaker 2: government with a massive majority. I'll be talking to Professor
Speaker 2: Implymer about that a little bit later. But is this
Speaker 2: good news for Anthony Alberanezi or I've heard some political
Speaker 2: experts say it's actually bad news because whatever grievances West
Speaker 2: Australians have they'll take it out on him rather than
Speaker 2: this tack company.
Speaker 1: But it's hard to I mean, it's hard to know.
Speaker 1: Western Australia is so far away. I'm not an ex
Speaker 1: it's almost like a country to itself. But that said, look,
Speaker 1: I think overall probably bad for the Coalition because they
Speaker 1: were expected to pick up more than five or six
Speaker 1: seats and I think that's all they're going to end
Speaker 1: up with in the Parliament. Badly. They've got a kind
Speaker 1: of reflex Victoria State Pole. Right, there was a big
Speaker 1: swing away from Labor, but it didn't really go to
Speaker 1: the Liberals very much, you know, it kind of went
Speaker 1: to Teals. In fact, I think the Teals are going
Speaker 1: to win a seat in the West Australian Parliament for
Speaker 1: the first time aus a Teal type candidate. Look, I
Speaker 1: don't think it's great for the Coalition, but that said,
Speaker 1: as you point out, I mean it can go the
Speaker 1: other way too. You have to speak to some cychologists
Speaker 1: on that.
Speaker 2: I guess we'll find that in a month or two.
Speaker 2: It's not too far away. Let's talk about something a
Speaker 2: little bit different. Veteran comedian David Hughes he was forced
Speaker 2: to remove a group of women from his show at
Speaker 2: the Adelaide Fringe Festival because well, they kept chattering away.
Speaker 2: They kept just disrupting the show, annoying people sitting around them.
Speaker 2: Let's have a look at the footage and you can
Speaker 2: see Hughesy gets pretty angry. He gives him a couple
Speaker 2: of warnings and then he loses it. Adam house Since said,
Speaker 2: I gave the group of women multiple chances that were
Speaker 2: infuriating audience members near them and me and as they
Speaker 2: were in the second row. So yeah, there was definitely
Speaker 2: annoying hughes And I would say there's nothing worse than
Speaker 2: if you're watching a comedy show or any sort of
Speaker 2: live performance and you've got people chattering away. It's a distraction.
Speaker 2: It takes away from the experience and you might remember.
Speaker 2: I don't know if this made the news in Americay
Speaker 2: it probably did because it made headlines around the world.
Speaker 2: But a comic Arch Barker last year bou to day
Speaker 2: breastfeeding mum from his program because the baby was making
Speaker 2: all sorts of noise. He got absolutely slammed for it.
Speaker 2: But I've got to say I'm with the comics on
Speaker 2: this one. That mum and baby went on the project
Speaker 2: to you know, to protest what had happened, and even
Speaker 2: for during a TV interview, the baby's making little noises.
Speaker 2: As cute as it may be, it's actually very disruptive. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Look, certainly I'm with both of these comedians on this.
Speaker 1: I think the bigger threat though, for comedians generally in
Speaker 1: Australia was always impositions on free speech. These new laws
Speaker 1: that are being passed by state parliaments, especially in Victoria
Speaker 1: and New South Wales where it is now illegal I
Speaker 1: understand to severely ridicule a group quote unquote severely ridicule.
Speaker 1: So no, stand up's going to get very very hard.
Speaker 1: So maybe these women did not find him very funny,
Speaker 1: but even so they were being very rude and they
Speaker 1: should have been.
Speaker 5: Us to live.
Speaker 2: Oh absolutely, if you're sitting in the second role, really
Speaker 2: anywhere where there's people around you, you've just got to
Speaker 2: shush it, unless there's audience participation called for Adam Krisch,
Speaker 2: I thought we were going to fight about that one.
Speaker 2: I thought you were going to take the lady's side,
Speaker 2: But here we are. Sorry about the unity ticket behind Husy.
Speaker 2: Thanks for your time to joining me. Now is a
Speaker 2: esteem geologist and author, Professor Ian Plimer, and I wanted
Speaker 2: to start by getting your thoughts on the WA election.
Speaker 2: You know the state very well. They contribute greatly to Australia.
Speaker 2: WA is a mining state, it's a resources stronghold. They
Speaker 2: seem to be very much conservative in their values. We
Speaker 2: certainly saw that with the race based Voice referendum last year.
Speaker 2: Sixty three and a half percent voted no. But then
Speaker 2: we have state labor winning election after election with massive landslides.
Speaker 3: Why is that, Well, it is a resource state. They
Speaker 3: use a huge amount of energy. Most of their energy
Speaker 3: comes from gas, some comes from diesel gen sets that
Speaker 3: remote minds and some are soul. West Australia would not
Speaker 3: be as prosperous as they are without the royalties of
Speaker 3: mining and the labor govern in Western Australia over the
Speaker 3: last couple of terms has been fairly care about destroying
Speaker 3: the mining industry with high royalties. Our Greens of course,
Speaker 3: want to completely destroy the mining industry, the gas industry
Speaker 3: and any other industry. I want people living in caves
Speaker 3: and sniffing.
Speaker 6: Plants to live.
Speaker 3: So in Western Australia we have a very very different
Speaker 3: situation from.
Speaker 6: In Eastern Australia.
Speaker 3: Western Australia has little manufacturing, it has mining.
Speaker 7: And the Liberals just didn't dent the electric The Liberals
Speaker 7: should have fought much harder on matters of resources, matters
Speaker 7: of aboriginal.
Speaker 6: Matters, closing down minds. They didn't. And it's very little
Speaker 6: different from Victoria.
Speaker 3: Victoria has drove a pathetically weak biberal party, as does
Speaker 3: Western Australia.
Speaker 2: Well, those Aboriginal herits laws. And we only had in
Speaker 2: the last two weeks a farmer who's been fined for
Speaker 2: building a little bridge on his own land because it
Speaker 2: may have disturbed I think it was a rainbow serpent
Speaker 2: if I remember correctly. So that issue is enormous there potentially,
Speaker 2: and the Libstins seem to really lean into it much.
Speaker 2: You mentioned WA Labour's relatively same position on mining and
Speaker 2: climate policies. That may all be under threahy in because
Speaker 2: the Greens are set to seize power the balance of
Speaker 2: power in the Upper House and prior to the election
Speaker 2: they made it clear they'll leverage this to push for
Speaker 2: a Climate Change Act with all sorts of hard left
Speaker 2: green policies. What impact could this have on Western Australia
Speaker 2: in well.
Speaker 6: This will have a magic impact.
Speaker 3: I think any green labor deal ends up putting people
Speaker 3: to work in topic heavy industry like the resources industry,
Speaker 3: and it ends up being a really massive backward step.
Speaker 3: So this is the time when Labor should be talking
Speaker 3: to the Liberals about how they can manage a state
Speaker 3: which relies on resources and doesn't rely on the Greens.
Speaker 3: The Greens have produced nothing. All they do is put
Speaker 3: people out of work. So this is a perfect opportunity
Speaker 3: for the Nationals to live and Labor to talk together.
Speaker 6: In the Upper House and try to get some common sense.
Speaker 3: Because if the Greens have the balance of power, then
Speaker 3: Western Australia is going to lose a huge amount of revenue.
Speaker 3: This revenue goes to schools and the police and roads,
Speaker 3: et cetera.
Speaker 6: You can see the results of that revenue.
Speaker 3: Western Australia's got some wonderful new roads over very long distances.
Speaker 3: The infrastructure is fabulous and that is because of mining royalties.
Speaker 3: This is what the Greens will kill off. And so
Speaker 3: I think the Labor government has to be very circumspect
Speaker 3: about talking to the Greens at all and maybe compromise
Speaker 3: and do a deal with the Libs and the Nats.
Speaker 2: Imagine that labor coalition coalition in the WA Upper House
Speaker 2: to sidestep the Greens. It's definitely what's best for the state.
Speaker 2: Whether it's going to happen or not, we'll see. Now.
Speaker 2: Donald Trump's top economic advisor, Kevin Hassett, who is the
Speaker 2: chair of the White House National Economic Council, his flag
Speaker 2: that an Australian exemption from Donald Trump's metal tariffs is
Speaker 2: highly unlikely. And I do wonder if President Donald Trump
Speaker 2: heard about the output of the WA premiere I have
Speaker 2: a listen to this little bit of reckless idiocy.
Speaker 8: Jd Vance is a knob.
Speaker 1: Sorry, you've got to have one unprofessional moment, Danja.
Speaker 9: That was it.
Speaker 2: Does Donald Trump still represent a dark road for the world.
Speaker 5: Well, I certainly think he represents an uncertain one.
Speaker 2: So again, let me just say, at times.
Speaker 1: Of uncertainty, you need a steady hand experience had at
Speaker 1: the wheel.
Speaker 2: And what a reckless bit of stupidity from Premier Roger
Speaker 2: Cook there.
Speaker 3: Well, Premier Cook should be concerned about Western Australia and
Speaker 3: that is it. It's not his place to talk about
Speaker 3: anything international. And I think what he's done is destroy
Speaker 3: relationships between the Commonwealth of Australia and the USA. And
Speaker 3: that was an absolutely dopey comment to make in front
Speaker 3: of a labor audience to get a cheap laugh. Now,
Speaker 3: Western Australia depends upon the Commonwealth for this country to function,
Speaker 3: and what he is doing is giving even more reason
Speaker 3: for the US to say it, well, we're not going
Speaker 3: to take your steel, We're not going to take you aluminium.
Speaker 6: And we have to remember that.
Speaker 3: There's a lot of energy that's embedded in aluminium more
Speaker 3: than any other metal. Zinc is the next one in
Speaker 3: the line, and steel is further down the track. So
Speaker 3: our energy systems are so chaotic and have been destroyed
Speaker 3: so much that we actually subsidize the massive amount of
Speaker 3: energy that goes into making steel and making aluminium. So
Speaker 3: as a result of our bad energy policies, we have
Speaker 3: the USA saying, well, wait a minute, your aluminum and
Speaker 3: steel are subsidized. We don't want to compete with people
Speaker 3: who subsidize their commodities.
Speaker 6: That they export to US.
Speaker 3: They go away, And I think President Trump has many
Speaker 3: reasons to tell Australia to go and take a big jump.
Speaker 2: I think the Well and Roger Cork's just give it
Speaker 2: him another one.
Speaker 3: Well he has, and that joins Ambassador rud that joins
Speaker 3: Minister Penny Wong, that joins the Prime Minister. He has
Speaker 3: all the reasons in the world, so go away.
Speaker 2: Well this is the problem. We need them more than
Speaker 2: they need us. That's just the way it is. So
Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't think it's too difficult as
Speaker 2: a state premier just to be diplomatic and not say
Speaker 2: something that's stupid on camera. Goodness, mate, Professor I Plymer,
Speaker 2: thank you so much for your time tonight.
Speaker 6: Thank you.
Speaker 2: Still to come Lefties Losing It plus the Great Josh Hammer,
Speaker 2: we'll have the latest from the US, Europe and Syria
Speaker 2: where Islamists are slaughtering religious minorities, including Christians. You're watching
Speaker 2: the Reader Panny Show, and it's time for lefties losing it.
Speaker 2: Let's start with a reality show. It's called Love is Blind,
Speaker 2: where the bride left the groom at the altar because
Speaker 2: his views on trans rites and BLM were not to
Speaker 2: her liking.
Speaker 10: I've always wanted a partner to be on the scene wavelength,
Speaker 10: and so today.
Speaker 8: I can't.
Speaker 2: Yep. The bride then explained why she dumped Ben.
Speaker 11: He asked him about like Black Lives matter, and I'm
Speaker 11: no expert, but like when I asked him about it,
Speaker 11: he was like, I guess I never really thought too
Speaker 11: much about it.
Speaker 4: That affected me.
Speaker 11: I watched a sermon online from about yeah, sexual identity,
Speaker 11: and it was traditional.
Speaker 2: The horror a church with traditional views on gender, Like,
Speaker 2: I don't know, men are men and women are women. Dude, Ben,
Speaker 2: you dodged a bullet. Move on, count your lucky stars.
Speaker 2: Let's go to Europe where the topless feminists are back.
Speaker 2: This time they are doing Nazi salutes and chanting about
Speaker 2: Donald Trump and onsk. I've got to say, this sort
Speaker 2: of performative activism is really rather tyresoon. I go, yeah,
Speaker 2: like I said, tiresome. Then the ladies let off some
Speaker 2: smoke bombs and chanted about fascists and marched around pretending
Speaker 2: to be nazis not a bra or brain cell to
Speaker 2: be seen amongst this lot. Look, I'm just surprised I
Speaker 2: didn't see Justin Trudeau amongst those ladies. He's got more
Speaker 2: feminine energy than any gal I know.
Speaker 4: On a personal level, I've made sure that every single
Speaker 4: day in this office, I put Canadians first that I
Speaker 4: have people's backs, and that's why I'm here to tell
Speaker 4: you all we got you, even in the very last
Speaker 4: days of this government. We will not let Canadians down
Speaker 4: today and long into the future.
Speaker 2: Cool story, bro, you think we've forgotten about what you
Speaker 2: did to Canadian truckers and their supporters just for protesting
Speaker 2: against your insane lockdowns. Please, your tears aren't going to
Speaker 2: save you, or your legacy is trash. Now let's go
Speaker 2: to CNN, where the usual suspects are screeching crazy stuff
Speaker 2: about fascism. Apparently we're in the middle of a totalitarian
Speaker 2: fascist coup.
Speaker 5: So scared, but we are in the middle of a
Speaker 5: totalitarian fascist coup in this country, and we don't call
Speaker 5: it that. When we soft pedal it, we don't have
Speaker 5: a real discussion about it. At least here I could
Speaker 5: say those words. We can have that discussion. You will
Speaker 5: not see those words in the New York Times or
Speaker 5: the Washington We.
Speaker 8: Were being honest.
Speaker 12: There should be a breaking news banner on CNNA emmesody
Speaker 12: all day long.
Speaker 8: We are in dictatorship.
Speaker 2: Well, l now, when the Washington Post and New York
Speaker 2: Times is a left or anti Trump enough for you?
Speaker 2: Then you may need therapy, not a spot on a
Speaker 2: CNN panel show. Next CNN will be offering this guy
Speaker 2: a regular gig make America great again.
Speaker 6: Oh not figures.
Speaker 2: This is this is the part that I love.
Speaker 6: That's why you're a mag.
Speaker 5: Mag.
Speaker 6: I'm happy.
Speaker 8: You're mad.
Speaker 2: You're mad, you're mad.
Speaker 8: Don't touch me, Hey, don't touch me.
Speaker 10: You touch me, you don't get away from me.
Speaker 2: Isn't it always the way the bullies cry and pretend
Speaker 2: to be the victims. This is what the Left has become.
Speaker 2: They're the cry bullies. Now let's look at a real
Speaker 2: case of racism in the streets. A girl minding her
Speaker 2: own business being attacked and followed for having her hair
Speaker 2: in braids. Apparently only folk of certain skin tones are
Speaker 2: allowed to have their hair in that style these days. Ugliest,
Speaker 2: we weren't that it's greats.
Speaker 6: Take that out now, really, re take that out?
Speaker 2: Now, okay, what's your take that shit out?
Speaker 7: Now?
Speaker 2: Take this out? Now? Take that out. It's hot, it's
Speaker 2: ugly though.
Speaker 8: Like I'm looking her hair.
Speaker 2: It doesn't look back. Now. For the record, white folk,
Speaker 2: and i'd imagine everyone else has been braiding hair for
Speaker 2: thousands of years. Vikings to h all the way back
Speaker 2: to the venus of Wildendorf some thirty thousand years ago.
Speaker 2: But apparently it's offensive now. Well, that young lady being
Speaker 2: harassed and chased has addressed a controversy. And the crazy
Speaker 2: thing is, there's plenty of people who agree with the aggressor.
Speaker 2: They say, a white woman having her hair in braids
Speaker 2: is cultural appropriation.
Speaker 9: I'm allowed to wear breads. So yesterday, when I was
Speaker 9: feeling some crazy ladies chasing me out of the store
Speaker 9: screaming about my breed, saying it's disgusting, trashy, cultural appropriation,
Speaker 9: she was literally expecting me to rip my hair out
Speaker 9: right then and there.
Speaker 2: I can't just rip my breads out.
Speaker 9: She then follows me all the way to my car,
Speaker 9: screaming to the top of her lies. And I just
Speaker 9: cannot believe somebody gets that offended over a hairstyle like this.
Speaker 9: If she can wear a wig, I can wear breaths.
Speaker 2: Funny, how no one ever accuses Beyonce of cultural appropriation
Speaker 2: for having blonde hair or putting out a country album. Well,
Speaker 2: I guess it wasn't really country after all, was it. Now?
Speaker 2: Remember the border crisis, the illegal immigration crisis that Joe
Speaker 2: Biden created. We saw millions cross that US southern border
Speaker 2: illegally every year under the Biden administration. The media made
Speaker 2: it clear though, that this issue was not one the
Speaker 2: president could easily fix. Like good little state propagandists, they
Speaker 2: repeated the lie that Joe Biden was poalas to fix
Speaker 2: his own mess.
Speaker 3: Republicans keep saying Biden doesn't need Congress, he can stop
Speaker 3: what's happening at the border all by himself.
Speaker 13: Can you fact check that for us, because we here
Speaker 13: all though that's not true.
Speaker 8: Republicans have been saying largely wrongly.
Speaker 2: Right because saying that the president can close the border
Speaker 2: unilaterally on his own, president actually doesn't have the authority
Speaker 2: under the law to do that.
Speaker 1: There's only so much President Biden can do with executive action,
Speaker 1: and he did try to do whatever he could.
Speaker 2: They actually are doing everything they can.
Speaker 11: The president hands are tied.
Speaker 6: There's only so much that he can do.
Speaker 10: President Biden has issues for executive orders, but there's only
Speaker 10: so much he can do within his purview.
Speaker 12: What an intractable a problem this is for the president
Speaker 12: with no easy solutions.
Speaker 2: No easy solutions here. There are no easy solutions here, folks.
Speaker 12: They need Congress to act to fix the broken immigration system.
Speaker 8: This cannot happen without Congress resourcing this.
Speaker 2: There's only so much a president can do with his
Speaker 2: pen and his phone. But surprise, surprise, the media was
Speaker 2: wrong yet again, and this was something President Trump was
Speaker 2: happy to point out during his address to Congress.
Speaker 1: The media and our friends in the Democrat Party kept
Speaker 1: saying we needed new legislation.
Speaker 6: We must have.
Speaker 11: Legislation to secure the border.
Speaker 3: But it turned out that all we really needed was
Speaker 3: a new president.
Speaker 2: Oh that was a bit of a mic drop moment,
Speaker 2: wasn't it. Yes, it turns out the president didn't need
Speaker 2: Congress didn't need new legislation because in under a month,
Speaker 2: Donald Trump has managed to secure the border with illegal
Speaker 2: crossings at a twenty five year low. Must have hurt
Speaker 2: CBS to report the undeniable facts.
Speaker 5: Illegal border crossings have sung to the lowest level in
Speaker 5: at least twenty five years.
Speaker 2: We know what's behind the strap and border cross Look.
Speaker 10: I think we have to first emphasize how stunning and
Speaker 10: remarkable this trop is. Fewer than nine thousand migrants were
Speaker 10: processed at the US Mexico border after crossing into the
Speaker 10: country illegally in February. That is compared to Sundays during
Speaker 10: the Biden administration, when border patrol recorded more than that
Speaker 10: on twenty four hour time spans, including up to ten
Speaker 10: thousand people in a single day.
Speaker 2: So we've gone from having up to ten thousand people
Speaker 2: cross illegally in a day to less than that over
Speaker 2: an entire month. Elections have consequences, folks. Let's bring in
Speaker 2: Newsweek's senior editor at Large and Article three Projects Senior
Speaker 2: Council Josh Hammer. Josh, this is a stunning achievement. There's
Speaker 2: now other way to put it. Stunning turnaround in a month.
Speaker 14: You know, Rida, there was a lot of misinformation in
Speaker 14: that montage that were just on there. I saw Jonah
Speaker 14: Goldberg a bunch of others saying that the president does
Speaker 14: actually not have the authority to largely shut down the border,
Speaker 14: well as the kings may be. I mean not to brag,
Speaker 14: but I actually am a lawyer here I clerked on
Speaker 14: a federal appeals cord. The president actually does have sweeping authority.
Speaker 14: It's actually codified at eight US Code, Section eleven eighty two,
Speaker 14: sub section F. It goes back all the way to
Speaker 14: the Immigration National the Act of the nineteen fifties a
Speaker 14: foundational immigration statue there, and that basically says that the
Speaker 14: president has, at his own discretion, the ability to shut
Speaker 14: down the border to all admission of any classes or
Speaker 14: groups of migrants that he wants to. It is a
Speaker 14: sweeping delegation of immigration forcement authority from the Congress to
Speaker 14: the president. That was actually the very statutory sub section
Speaker 14: that was litigated as part of the so called travel
Speaker 14: band case the first time during the first tru administration.
Speaker 14: Now with the Trump versus Hawaii case there where the
Speaker 14: court actually ruled five to four that yes, the statute
Speaker 14: means what it says, the president has sweeping authority there.
Speaker 14: So the court has said this there the commentators surprise, surprise,
Speaker 14: or dead wrong on the actual law there. Donald Trump
Speaker 14: is taking advantage what the law actually says, as was
Speaker 14: litigated during his first administration there and the results, as
Speaker 14: you said, speak for themselves. America has a secure southern border. Again,
Speaker 14: the people voted for it, and God willing, yes, they
Speaker 14: have it. And I think that the cartels are going
Speaker 14: to learn a very hard wasn't here to the end
Speaker 14: that they have not learned that a read because America's
Speaker 14: southern border.
Speaker 8: Right now, Rita is not open for business.
Speaker 2: Now let's move on, Josh, to the Democrats claiming to
Speaker 2: be the party for women, for women's rights. But let's
Speaker 2: see how they voted when it came time to protect
Speaker 2: girls and women's sports from male athletes identifying as women.
Speaker 2: Every single Democrat voted against the rights of women here,
Speaker 2: and not only I would a hugger. Is this position
Speaker 2: morally putred? It's also a fringe position. It's an extreme
Speaker 2: position because around four and five Americans are clear on
Speaker 2: this issue. As even CNN reported.
Speaker 12: Transgender female athletes and women's sports, only eighteen percent of
Speaker 12: the country says that they should be in fact allowed
Speaker 12: to participate in women's sports. Compare this to the opposition.
Speaker 12: I mean, my goodness, gracious, seventy nine percent. You rarely
Speaker 12: get set nine percent of the country to agree on anything,
Speaker 12: but they do in fact agree on the idea of
Speaker 12: opposing transgender female athletes in women's sports. But it's not
Speaker 12: just the hero and now, lord, it's not just the
Speaker 12: hero and now. What we're actually seeing is a trend
Speaker 12: on this particular issue, and it's going in the direction
Speaker 12: of opposition.
Speaker 2: Josh that trend is interesting. In twenty twenty one, we
Speaker 2: had sixty two percent who were opposed. Now the figure
Speaker 2: is seventy nine, and I suspect it's even more than
Speaker 2: that because this is one of the issues where people
Speaker 2: have been shamed for holding a very much a common
Speaker 2: sense mainstream view. Yeah.
Speaker 14: Look, it's an eighty twenty issue, as you said there.
Speaker 14: I mean, it's fascinating here in the States, realy, because
Speaker 14: you see even very left wing politicians like Gavin Newsom
Speaker 14: of California, who had this winding Watch interview with Charlie
Speaker 14: Kirk on Gavin Newsom's own new podcast this week, and
Speaker 14: even Gavin Newsom who literally became the first politician in
Speaker 14: California history to issue same sex marriage licenses, you know,
Speaker 14: back in the day whenever that was.
Speaker 8: I mean, even this guy who was ahead of the
Speaker 8: curve on that issue.
Speaker 14: There, he's saying that it's now deeply unfair when it
Speaker 14: comes to biological males competing against females in women's athletic condition. Now,
Speaker 14: to be clear, no one should believe Gavin Newsom for
Speaker 14: a second. The guy's a snake. He's a total liar there.
Speaker 14: He's trying to gear up for a twenty twenty eight
Speaker 14: presidential run. I wish him nothing but the worst there,
Speaker 14: but this is yet another losing issue for the Democratic
Speaker 14: Party there and Rita.
Speaker 8: This continues to be the structural issue for the Democrats.
Speaker 14: I actually I wrote about this in my most recent column,
Speaker 14: which is that you have this chasm between the Democratic
Speaker 14: elites which are in total lunacy la la land when
Speaker 14: it comes to the open borders issue, when it comes
Speaker 14: to the transgender issue there, when it comes to any
Speaker 14: of these other issues, the Green New Deal, environmental regulation,
Speaker 14: let's not frack, let's not drill for natural gas, they're
Speaker 14: in total la la lands. I mean even the Median Democrat,
Speaker 14: as we just saw on that CNN graphic there, does
Speaker 14: not agree with their own parties elites. So unless until
Speaker 14: they can find some way to repudiate their own parties elites,
Speaker 14: the ladies of the view the Barack Obama winging the
Speaker 14: party there, unless how they can do that, they're just
Speaker 14: going to continue to flounder in irrelevance. But again, as
Speaker 14: someone who wishes have nothing but the worst, I'd say,
Speaker 14: go on, and I.
Speaker 2: Think you're one hundred percent right about Gavin News them.
Speaker 2: I think he's just reading the room. He's seeing how
Speaker 2: fringe and unpopular these positions are, and he's just trying
Speaker 2: to position himself as some sort of centrist when you
Speaker 2: only have to look at California to see that's not
Speaker 2: the case. Now, let's talk about this curious story about
Speaker 2: what really happened during the Biden presidency and who was
Speaker 2: pulling the strings it was really in charge because it
Speaker 2: was clear it wasn't Joe Biden for much of the time.
Speaker 2: It's been alleged that the majority of official documents signed
Speaker 2: by President Joe Biden used the same outopen signature. This
Speaker 2: is a report by the Heritage Foundation. It states we
Speaker 2: gathered every document we could find with Biden's signature over
Speaker 2: the course of his presidency, all news the same autopen signature,
Speaker 2: except for the announcement that the former president was dropping
Speaker 2: out of the race last year. Josh, what do you
Speaker 2: make of this report?
Speaker 14: Well, it's funny because the last line there is when
Speaker 14: I first saw this is where my mind immediately went. Actually,
Speaker 14: I saw a lot of people on Twitter ex whatever,
Speaker 14: calling of these days who when Joe Biden, in theory,
Speaker 14: had that I'm dropping beyond the race announcement. You actually
Speaker 14: look at the signature, it looks a lot like a holograph.
Speaker 14: I mean, that's not typically where my mind goes there.
Speaker 14: But you know, read in recent years when it comes
Speaker 14: to the Hunter Biden laptop, when it comes to COVID nineteen,
Speaker 14: when it comes to the fact that, yeah, we all
Speaker 14: knew that Joe Biden was running the country in geriatric
Speaker 14: senile fashion, or a lot of these so called conspiracy
Speaker 14: theories really are kind of coming true in real time there.
Speaker 14: I guess the question for me is that as we
Speaker 14: as we continue to learn more and more about just
Speaker 14: the exact state of Joe Biden's physical and above all
Speaker 14: mental health over the course of his horrific and historically
Speaker 14: all time atrocious president, as we continue to learn more
Speaker 14: and more, and God will in Congress will do more investigations. Frankly,
Speaker 14: I think we barely scratched the surface of this world
Speaker 14: historical scandal. But as we learn more and more of
Speaker 14: the question to me is going to be actually this
Speaker 14: question of who really was pulling the strings. I will
Speaker 14: tell you my own personal take on this rita. It's
Speaker 14: not a novel take there. It's probably a common opinion
Speaker 14: there I have long been on the opinion that it
Speaker 14: actually is Barack Obama who was not necessarily running the
Speaker 14: world per se.
Speaker 8: But I think that Barack Obama was.
Speaker 14: Absolutely, probably more than any other figure, calling a lot
Speaker 14: of the shots. There was this one very bizarre image
Speaker 14: of him going to ten Downing Streets in London trying
Speaker 14: to meet with the Prime Minister there.
Speaker 8: I mean, why would a former president do that.
Speaker 14: He was also the first president in over one hundred
Speaker 14: years to not physically vacate Washington, d C. He's stayed
Speaker 14: in Kalorama, a very tony, upscale part of Washington see there.
Speaker 14: I continue to think that Rita that Barack Obama actually
Speaker 14: largely was governing in this Biden administration, which makes sense
Speaker 14: because then he was the leading campaign trail surrogate for
Speaker 14: Kamala Harris herself. There we all saw how that played
Speaker 14: out by.
Speaker 2: The way Joshua spoken previously about Donald Trump's strategy with
Speaker 2: the Ukraine Russia War and the goal of having Europe
Speaker 2: contribute in a much more meaningful way to their own defense,
Speaker 2: and it looks like Trump has again managed to get
Speaker 2: the outcome he wanted despite all the hysteria, all the
Speaker 2: doomsday commentary we've had from politicians and commentators, including I've
Speaker 2: got to say, disappointingly some conservative commentators who should know better.
Speaker 2: Stop getting hysterical about the retric Look at the bigger picture,
Speaker 2: look at the strategy, look at the outcomes. Let's see
Speaker 2: now from the head of the European Commission, Ursula Vonda Lyon.
Speaker 13: Europe is ready to assume its responsibilities rearm Europe could
Speaker 13: mobilize close to eight hundred billion euros of defense expenditures
Speaker 13: for a safe and resilient Europe.
Speaker 2: Josh, did the president get his way again? He's been
Speaker 2: wanting this, and really it should have been in place
Speaker 2: all along. Europe shouldn't be depending on America to defend
Speaker 2: it from Russia or any other aggressive force.
Speaker 14: Yeah, strikes me as another huge diplomatic, geopolitical, foreign affairs
Speaker 14: victory for the presidents. You know, this very much builds RITA,
Speaker 14: by the way, on what he accomplished the first time around.
Speaker 14: So the first time around, you know, Donald Trump also
Speaker 14: ruffled a lot of feathers when it comes to NATO.
Speaker 14: People tend to forget this, but he basically came in
Speaker 14: there and he said in a series of speeches and pronouncements.
Speaker 14: You know, you guys are not pulling your weight there.
Speaker 14: You know the NATO treaty obligates. He just spends at
Speaker 14: least two percent, ideally five percent of your gross domestic
Speaker 14: product on defense spending, on military spending. There, And if
Speaker 14: you look back over his first term from twenty seventeen
Speaker 14: to twenty twenty one, the total number of European countries
Speaker 14: that actually met that bare minimum two percent thresholds roughly doubled.
Speaker 14: It was an astronomical increase there. So he's done this
Speaker 14: before and he's doing it yet again there. But look,
Speaker 14: Donald Trump is a national okay, he believes in strong sovereign,
Speaker 14: independent nation states.
Speaker 4: There.
Speaker 14: What that means is that the United States is going
Speaker 14: to best partner with Europe when Europe can actually take
Speaker 14: care of itself, when Europe and actually take care of
Speaker 14: its own backyard. This notion that the US European Alliance
Speaker 14: thrives when Europe is basically a glorified satropy, when they're
Speaker 14: basically a province of the global American Empire. There, that's
Speaker 14: not a recipe for long term United States European stability. Frankly,
Speaker 14: it's not a recipe for long term stability when it
Speaker 14: comes to United States and any other country around the
Speaker 14: world that we've been allied with in the past. There
Speaker 14: So this is the Donald Trump foreign policy doctrine. It
Speaker 14: works like a charm frankly the first time around, and
Speaker 14: it's off to a heck of the start this time
Speaker 14: around as well. I frankly think Rita is only going
Speaker 14: to get better from here, if I had to guess.
Speaker 2: Yes, we've seen NATO be strengthened. We've seen the European
Speaker 2: nations that have basically have done very little finally start
Speaker 2: contributing to their own defense. And yet we've got the
Speaker 2: hysterics acting like this is the end of the world.
Speaker 2: Democracy itself is under threat. Now, before you go, Josh,
Speaker 2: this is one of the most disturbing developments, but sadly,
Speaker 2: entirely predictable. We are seeing some horrific footage out of
Speaker 2: Syria religious minorities, including Christians being tortured, being slaughtered, men, women, children,
Speaker 2: and this horror was, as I said, sadly predictable. Tulsa
Speaker 2: Gabbard was amongst those who warned us about what would occur,
Speaker 2: but there were people celebrating what happened in Syria, thinking
Speaker 2: this was going to be the dawn of some new
Speaker 2: age of democracy and human rights when we've got Islamists
Speaker 2: in charge them. When Islamists are in charge, minorities are slaughtered.
Speaker 14: So this goes back at least as far as the
Speaker 14: Arab Spring, which started back in twenty ten twenty eleven
Speaker 14: round there in Tunisia and really all throughout the hour world.
Speaker 14: There you had this massive conflation which with many people
Speaker 14: on the neoliberal left and the neo conservative faux right,
Speaker 14: you have this massive conflation between democracy and Islamism where
Speaker 14: you saw kind of this democratic uprising or this populist uprising,
Speaker 14: where this populous uprising was being done in the name
Speaker 14: of what in the name of Shria supremacy of Islamism,
Speaker 14: a radical fundamentalist Islam there, and you know that's basically
Speaker 14: what happens here in Syria. I mean Bashar al Assad,
Speaker 14: let's not mince words. I mean an absolute monster. I
Speaker 14: mean a death toll of hundreds and hundred thousands, arguably
Speaker 14: over a million, an absolutely horrific person there, a total
Speaker 14: pawn of the evil Iranian regime there in the world
Speaker 14: is better off that he's not in power, but we
Speaker 14: should not be pretending like the current guy in Charles
Speaker 14: al Jalani, who was a perpateetic jihadist over his entire
Speaker 14: career there. Former al Qaeda there, these are bad, bad,
Speaker 14: bad people there, and frankly, at this point they're basically
Speaker 14: just an extension of recip type Ertawan and the increasingly
Speaker 14: radical regime in Ankara Turkey there. So the Middle East
Speaker 14: is totally in flux. But this is obviously, on a
Speaker 14: pure humanitarian level, an absolutely har riffic situation there.
Speaker 8: Reader. One thing I will add briefly is that it
Speaker 8: is your.
Speaker 14: Right now is extending his reach into Southwestern series trying
Speaker 14: to protect the Druze minority that is there in that
Speaker 14: particular part of the country. There, maybe there'll be some
Speaker 14: sort of some sort of momentum for kind of an
Speaker 14: autonomous Dru's many nations here or something that would that
Speaker 14: would be a fantastic development. Frankly, it's something that the
Speaker 14: United States I think actually would do very well to
Speaker 14: get behind. But at a bare minimum, let's not treat
Speaker 14: these absolute gie hottest thugs and Damascus like there are
Speaker 14: anything other than the thugs that they are.
Speaker 2: And I think you're one hundred percent right there, that
Speaker 2: there would be support in America for some sort of
Speaker 2: intervention to try to protect those religious minorities. I think
Speaker 2: that is the sort of military action that Americans, maybe
Speaker 2: not an enormous majority, but I think many Americans would
Speaker 2: be comfortable with. Josh Hammah, thank you so much for
Speaker 2: your time tonight.
Speaker 6: Thank you.
Speaker 9: Riata.
Speaker 2: Still to come. The famous celebrity who has fled Trump's
Speaker 2: America for New Zealand, kinsisco Field has the details. Welcome back.
Speaker 2: Joining me now is celebrity and role commentator kinseisco Field.
Speaker 2: Kinsey Love is Blind star Sarah Carlton has been condemned
Speaker 2: after she dumbed her partner Ben Mazenger at the Altar
Speaker 2: during the season eight finale because of his views on
Speaker 2: BLM and his church's views on gender. I played a
Speaker 2: clip of this earlier in the program. Tell me what
Speaker 2: the reaction has been. I reckon this girl is going
Speaker 2: to be offered a spot on The View or some
Speaker 2: CNN correspondence gig. I don't know. I think this is
Speaker 2: actually going to launch her.
Speaker 11: Career, do you, Because from what I've seen is the
Speaker 11: backlash is primarily negative and there is a lot of
Speaker 11: sympathy for I mean, he could be the next Bachelor
Speaker 11: as far as I you know, as I can tell,
Speaker 11: because I'm seeing magawomen throwing themselves at him because they
Speaker 11: really feel like they really feel like this is ridiculous.
Speaker 11: If she was trying to go viral, I think she
Speaker 11: went viral for all the wrong reasons because I've seen
Speaker 11: a lot of ridicule. But as a nurse, is she
Speaker 11: going to treat you differently if you've not been vaccinated?
Speaker 11: Is she going to treat you differently if she knows
Speaker 11: who you voted for? It makes you really uncomfortable to
Speaker 11: know that this is her thought process.
Speaker 2: Because at the old time, they told each other they
Speaker 2: they loved each other, and you thought, okay, well they're
Speaker 2: going to get married. Not that I watched this program,
Speaker 2: but I had to watch this segment for today's show.
Speaker 2: And the only thing I would say against him is
Speaker 2: that he had to wait for her to dump him
Speaker 2: because there were red flags all over the place and
Speaker 2: the fact that he didn't see them. He wanted to
Speaker 2: get married then and there. I don't know if that
Speaker 2: counts in his faber And now I agree with you,
Speaker 2: of course, it's been a lot of mockery for this girl.
Speaker 2: But as we know, there's a lot of mockery for
Speaker 2: the panelists on the View and pretty much the entire
Speaker 2: MSNBCCNN lineup, but that doesn't stop them getting those roles.
Speaker 2: So I still reckon she might have a bit of
Speaker 2: a career in the media, have a short lived. There's
Speaker 2: all sorts of scuttle buckkinse at the moment about the Obamas,
Speaker 2: whether they're getting a divorce, and it's back in the
Speaker 2: headlines again.
Speaker 11: Why is that, Well, because we're seeing Barack a solo
Speaker 11: for at least the third time in recent months. According
Speaker 11: to TMZ, he was spotted at a Thai restaurant over
Speaker 11: here in Sherman Oaks with both of his daughters, but
Speaker 11: with alt Michelle. Last week, he was prominently seated at
Speaker 11: this La Clippers game alongside the owner and his wife,
Speaker 11: but without you know, Michelle. And that's the latest in
Speaker 11: several solo events that he's attended between Jimmy Cordor's funeral
Speaker 11: and then President Trump's inarguration in January. I thought it
Speaker 11: was interesting because Megan Kelly is referring to this as
Speaker 11: a soft launch divorce, so I guess the countdown is
Speaker 11: on halft launch divorce.
Speaker 2: Oh that will be the next scene. Now you'll be
Speaker 2: trialing the divorce before you make it official.
Speaker 8: Why not?
Speaker 2: Well, the Jimmy Carter funeral was the one that I
Speaker 2: think got people really talking because there were these rumors.
Speaker 2: But then the fact that she wasn't by his side
Speaker 2: for that the inauguration, you can say, well, you know,
Speaker 2: she had a fundamental problem with the elected president. But yeah,
Speaker 2: this is unusual to have the multiple events where they're
Speaker 2: not together because they have been pretty much throughout their
Speaker 2: entire marriage, side by side, just about every event that
Speaker 2: can attend together. Now, Carnie West, has it been catfish?
Speaker 2: What's happened here? He has apparently been scam by someone
Speaker 2: impersonating Joe Rogan. West posted various screenshots of text conversations
Speaker 2: with who he thought was Joe Rogan arranging a podcast
Speaker 2: appearance with him, but Joe Rogan swiftly replied on x saying, Hey, Kanye,
Speaker 2: I don't know who you're talking to, but that's not me.
Speaker 2: He can see. How can this happen? I mean we're
Speaker 2: talking about big Star. Yes, surely someone's looking into his
Speaker 2: communications before he makes commitments to appear on podcasts.
Speaker 11: I mean I think if it was anybody but Kanye,
Speaker 11: I would say yes. But Kanye is kind of a
Speaker 11: loose cannon and doing his own thing right now, I
Speaker 11: will say I would not be surprised if it actually
Speaker 11: comes to fruition now, because Rogan recently said that Kanye
Speaker 11: was musically genius. He was talking to Antonio Brown on
Speaker 11: his podcast last week. He said that Kanye was musically genius,
Speaker 11: but he wishes he wouldn't sell T shirts with twastikas
Speaker 11: on them, and he did say that he felt like
Speaker 11: Kanye was messing with us. So perhaps he would invite
Speaker 11: Kanye on to have that debate with him and say,
Speaker 11: do you really feel this way? Are you really trying
Speaker 11: to sell this lifestyle or is this some big marketing
Speaker 11: ploy now.
Speaker 2: Blake Lively was ambushed by a Justin Baldoni supporter outside
Speaker 2: the Paramount Theater in Los Angeles where her new film
Speaker 2: Another Simple Favor was having his opening night at the
Speaker 2: annual south By Southwest Film Festival. Can say, there seems
Speaker 2: to be no end to this saga. At some point
Speaker 2: people are going to move on, but it appears we're not
Speaker 2: they yet.
Speaker 11: Yeah, you know, I'm interested in your take on this
Speaker 11: because TV personality and entrepreneur Bethany Frankel recently came out
Speaker 11: today and said she felt like we were bullying Blake
Speaker 11: Lively and Megan Markle, that we were crossing the line
Speaker 11: a little bit, you know, showing up and protesting her movie.
Speaker 11: And I don't. I think we're trying to hold people accountable.
Speaker 11: That our WEAPONI seeing some really sensitive and culturally culturally
Speaker 11: relevant topics, whether it be racism or me too. I
Speaker 11: just think it's people trying to hold others accountable.
Speaker 8: I don't see this as bullying.
Speaker 4: Oh.
Speaker 2: I think Bethany is just trying to get a headline.
Speaker 2: There's almost absurd thing I've heard. I mean, you'd be
Speaker 2: talking about hugely powerful, influential people who have behaved appallingly.
Speaker 2: And in the case of Megan Markel, she hasn't just
Speaker 2: played the victim. She has thrown mud at her husband's families.
Speaker 2: She has suggested they are racist and that scuttle. But
Speaker 2: those ugly rumors were circulating, making headlines around the world
Speaker 2: as the queen was ill. It was her final months,
Speaker 2: and to be dealing with this because of their just
Speaker 2: attention seeking was absolutely disgusting. So yeah, I have very
Speaker 2: little sympathy, And let's just have a look at the
Speaker 2: reason why there's any criticism coming their way is because
Speaker 2: they are putting out these projects. There's self delighted projects.
Speaker 2: In the case of Megan Markele the most absurd reality
Speaker 2: show perhaps ever recorded. It makes Keeping Up with the
Speaker 2: Kardashian seem like some sort of noble projects. So you
Speaker 2: know what, if they stopped doing stupid stuff, would stop
Speaker 2: talking about it, That's all I could say. Just finally,
Speaker 2: Kinsey director James Cameron has fled America. He does not
Speaker 2: want to be part of Donald Trump's presidency in any
Speaker 2: shape or form, and is soon going to be a
Speaker 2: New Zealand citizen. Has there been any backlash to this
Speaker 2: or is this generally supported? Yeah?
Speaker 11: I mean I feel like everybody's like, bye, I have
Speaker 11: The last thing I watched of his was Titanic. He
Speaker 11: says that we are going historically in a different direction,
Speaker 11: and I'd say, you know, historically men were not supposed
Speaker 11: to be in women's bathrooms. Teenage girls didn't have to
Speaker 11: share locker rooms with biological men. In the form of
Speaker 11: Hunter Baden's laptop. You know, like there's a million things
Speaker 11: that happened under the Biden administration that I felt like
Speaker 11: straight away from the Constitution, James.
Speaker 2: Cameron, and that's all the time we have. I'll see
Speaker 2: you tomorrow night at eleven. Don't go anywhere. Newsnight is
Speaker 2: up next
