WEBVTT - The Rita Panahi Show | 17 April

0:00:02.840 --> 0:00:07.280
<v Speaker 1>On scorn lives Ostrodia. This is the Wader Panalty Show.

0:00:09.160 --> 0:00:11.960
<v Speaker 2>Good evening, Anne, Welcome to the readA Panety Show. Coming

0:00:12.039 --> 0:00:15.600
<v Speaker 2>up tonight, a massive program. Nikata will be here shortly

0:00:15.640 --> 0:00:19.119
<v Speaker 2>to cover the day's top headlines. Sarah Gonzales will have

0:00:19.200 --> 0:00:22.480
<v Speaker 2>the latest from the US A liberal MP Richard Redan

0:00:23.079 --> 0:00:27.360
<v Speaker 2>on the curious funding sources of some TiAl candidates, and

0:00:27.600 --> 0:00:30.560
<v Speaker 2>later in the Alkins's Schofield will be here with all

0:00:30.560 --> 0:00:33.720
<v Speaker 2>these celebrity and world news you care about but pretend

0:00:33.800 --> 0:00:34.080
<v Speaker 2>not to.

0:00:34.680 --> 0:00:37.320
<v Speaker 3>And Left is losing it features this charmer.

0:00:37.600 --> 0:00:40.040
<v Speaker 4>So not someone out there with the terminal illness that's

0:00:40.080 --> 0:00:43.400
<v Speaker 4>willing to do it. I mean, I'm sure people are

0:00:43.440 --> 0:00:46.920
<v Speaker 4>willing to help if you're willing to do it.

0:00:47.440 --> 0:00:51.080
<v Speaker 2>But first, Anthony Albernezi faced off against the opposition leader

0:00:51.159 --> 0:00:54.440
<v Speaker 2>last night in the second prime minister's debate of the campaign,

0:00:54.520 --> 0:00:57.880
<v Speaker 2>this time hosted by the ABC, and the Prime Minister

0:00:58.120 --> 0:01:00.920
<v Speaker 2>was caught out in a lie when he was challenged

0:01:00.920 --> 0:01:01.760
<v Speaker 2>by Peter Dutton.

0:01:02.320 --> 0:01:04.960
<v Speaker 5>I have been very clear about what our position is

0:01:05.080 --> 0:01:08.560
<v Speaker 5>and why that is the case. Was it modeled. It

0:01:08.680 --> 0:01:10.479
<v Speaker 5>certainly wasn't commissioned by us.

0:01:11.160 --> 0:01:11.600
<v Speaker 6>To do so.

0:01:11.760 --> 0:01:14.160
<v Speaker 7>It was modeled by the government was public it's publicly

0:01:14.160 --> 0:01:16.440
<v Speaker 7>available that this Prime Minister has a problem with the truth.

0:01:16.680 --> 0:01:20.399
<v Speaker 2>And yes, the Prime Minister did in fact contradict previous

0:01:20.440 --> 0:01:23.800
<v Speaker 2>remarks from his own Treasurer, Jim Chalmers, who had this

0:01:23.920 --> 0:01:25.840
<v Speaker 2>to say in September last year.

0:01:26.360 --> 0:01:26.880
<v Speaker 8>It is not.

0:01:27.000 --> 0:01:31.960
<v Speaker 9>Unusual at all for governments or for treasurers to get

0:01:32.000 --> 0:01:36.640
<v Speaker 9>advice on contentious issues which are in the public domain,

0:01:36.880 --> 0:01:41.800
<v Speaker 9>including in the Parliament. It is not unusual for treasurers

0:01:41.880 --> 0:01:42.360
<v Speaker 9>to do that.

0:01:42.840 --> 0:01:46.319
<v Speaker 2>You know, the Prime Minister does have an interesting relationship

0:01:46.360 --> 0:01:48.840
<v Speaker 2>with the truth. Remember when he claimed on the ABC

0:01:49.080 --> 0:01:51.080
<v Speaker 2>just a few weeks ago that this.

0:01:51.160 --> 0:01:55.040
<v Speaker 3>Wasn't a fall. Why Albora, I mean everyone has falls. Well,

0:01:55.040 --> 0:01:56.400
<v Speaker 3>now he's saying.

0:01:56.080 --> 0:02:00.680
<v Speaker 2>That his government never requested modeling from treasurer on negative

0:02:00.720 --> 0:02:05.160
<v Speaker 2>gearing and capital gains reforms, even though Jim Chalmers has

0:02:05.200 --> 0:02:07.120
<v Speaker 2>already admitted that they did.

0:02:07.200 --> 0:02:08.680
<v Speaker 3>Joining me now for more on this.

0:02:08.720 --> 0:02:13.000
<v Speaker 2>As senior fellow of the mensi's Research Center, Nikkaita Nick,

0:02:14.160 --> 0:02:17.680
<v Speaker 2>why not just come clean about this. We know where

0:02:17.760 --> 0:02:21.200
<v Speaker 2>Labours stand on this issue. We know there's great debate

0:02:21.360 --> 0:02:24.920
<v Speaker 2>within their ranks about these measures. Why not just be

0:02:25.000 --> 0:02:28.560
<v Speaker 2>honest about and say we did some modeling, We're not

0:02:28.600 --> 0:02:30.360
<v Speaker 2>going down that road.

0:02:30.360 --> 0:02:32.880
<v Speaker 5>Be far better than trying to bluff your way through

0:02:33.280 --> 0:02:35.760
<v Speaker 5>by lying, which is what the Prime Minister tried to

0:02:35.800 --> 0:02:38.240
<v Speaker 5>do yesterday. I mean in the same debate. Actually, Peter

0:02:38.320 --> 0:02:44.800
<v Speaker 5>dunn't apologized for saying something that he now thought regretted

0:02:44.840 --> 0:02:48.240
<v Speaker 5>over Indonesia ant the Albanes. He should have done the

0:02:48.280 --> 0:02:50.120
<v Speaker 5>same then he should do it now. But there's a

0:02:50.160 --> 0:02:52.560
<v Speaker 5>long long list of this. You've already mentioned the falling

0:02:52.600 --> 0:02:57.040
<v Speaker 5>off the stage incident. Also recently, remember Rita Anti Ambinez.

0:02:57.080 --> 0:02:59.680
<v Speaker 5>He said that they had not Labor Party had not

0:03:00.080 --> 0:03:03.360
<v Speaker 5>missioned the modeling, the repute modeling, which came back and

0:03:03.360 --> 0:03:05.040
<v Speaker 5>said everybody was going to get a two hundred and

0:03:05.040 --> 0:03:07.519
<v Speaker 5>seventy five dollars cut off their electricity bill.

0:03:07.960 --> 0:03:09.040
<v Speaker 1>And you go.

0:03:09.120 --> 0:03:12.120
<v Speaker 5>Back to the transcript three years ago. Is absolutely proud

0:03:12.200 --> 0:03:14.720
<v Speaker 5>of the fact that they've commissioned this piece of research,

0:03:14.760 --> 0:03:17.040
<v Speaker 5>which was the finest piece of research ever done by

0:03:17.080 --> 0:03:20.320
<v Speaker 5>an opposition since federation. Now he's telling us we had

0:03:20.400 --> 0:03:21.280
<v Speaker 5>nothing to do with it.

0:03:23.840 --> 0:03:27.080
<v Speaker 2>Yes, they walked back from that position very quickly. They

0:03:27.160 --> 0:03:31.520
<v Speaker 2>disavowed that modeling very quickly. Indeed, now you've written a

0:03:31.680 --> 0:03:36.720
<v Speaker 2>fantastic piece in the Australian newspaper about Labour's self image

0:03:36.720 --> 0:03:39.600
<v Speaker 2>as a friend of the marginalized and dispossessed.

0:03:39.920 --> 0:03:41.560
<v Speaker 3>You say that has become.

0:03:41.360 --> 0:03:45.320
<v Speaker 2>A cruel joke, and you make the argument Nick that

0:03:45.440 --> 0:03:49.280
<v Speaker 2>low and middle income households have really suffered far worse

0:03:49.320 --> 0:03:53.119
<v Speaker 2>from rising inflation than twenty three months of negative per

0:03:53.160 --> 0:03:58.400
<v Speaker 2>capita growth. Is Labor still the party of the working

0:03:58.440 --> 0:03:59.560
<v Speaker 2>class in Australia?

0:04:00.200 --> 0:04:00.320
<v Speaker 10>All?

0:04:01.000 --> 0:04:04.760
<v Speaker 5>Absolutely not? Reader in fat I was in Shell Harbor

0:04:04.880 --> 0:04:07.360
<v Speaker 5>yesterday in the seed of Whitlam talking to some people.

0:04:07.400 --> 0:04:09.760
<v Speaker 5>They're talking to a woman whose parents were both drug

0:04:09.760 --> 0:04:13.880
<v Speaker 5>addicts and she'd been thrown out. Just typical poor sort

0:04:13.920 --> 0:04:16.160
<v Speaker 5>of person you'd expect Labor that. I thought she wasn't

0:04:16.160 --> 0:04:17.960
<v Speaker 5>having a bar of labor. She was going to vote

0:04:17.960 --> 0:04:20.240
<v Speaker 5>for the Liberal candidate, you know. And this is what

0:04:20.240 --> 0:04:22.480
<v Speaker 5>I'm finding all the time. You won't, of course read

0:04:22.520 --> 0:04:24.719
<v Speaker 5>this in the Guardian or the Cidney Morning Herald, because

0:04:24.760 --> 0:04:28.080
<v Speaker 5>those people never get out further than Strathfield, even if

0:04:28.120 --> 0:04:30.120
<v Speaker 5>they get that far. But you don't have to go

0:04:30.240 --> 0:04:33.440
<v Speaker 5>far into the into the outer suburbs to see what

0:04:33.920 --> 0:04:38.560
<v Speaker 5>twelve mortgage rate increases does to people who are really

0:04:38.800 --> 0:04:42.560
<v Speaker 5>trying to bring up a family working and you know,

0:04:42.640 --> 0:04:45.920
<v Speaker 5>I've seen them come out with very sad supermarket market

0:04:45.960 --> 0:04:49.159
<v Speaker 5>trolleys of bread, potatoes and sausages and a bit of

0:04:49.160 --> 0:04:51.599
<v Speaker 5>toilet paper and that's it. You know, it is tragic.

0:04:51.640 --> 0:04:53.800
<v Speaker 5>And of course this is not being reported, which is

0:04:53.839 --> 0:04:58.040
<v Speaker 5>why so many in the smarter mainstream media are trying

0:04:58.040 --> 0:04:59.320
<v Speaker 5>to tell us this is going to be a great

0:04:59.360 --> 0:05:02.200
<v Speaker 5>alban easy triumph. I promise you it won't be. And

0:05:02.279 --> 0:05:05.280
<v Speaker 5>Labour's going to take a big, big hit in what

0:05:05.440 --> 0:05:08.240
<v Speaker 5>was once it's heartland.

0:05:10.520 --> 0:05:14.560
<v Speaker 2>Well, they're certainly bleeding support in the outer suburbs. You

0:05:14.640 --> 0:05:17.320
<v Speaker 2>noted that in your peace out of suburbs of Melbourne

0:05:17.400 --> 0:05:18.680
<v Speaker 2>and Sydney and beyond.

0:05:19.360 --> 0:05:22.880
<v Speaker 3>But not all those votes are going to the coalition, Nick,

0:05:23.080 --> 0:05:26.000
<v Speaker 3>Why is that? Why the coalition.

0:05:25.720 --> 0:05:28.400
<v Speaker 2>Failing to capture those disaffected voters.

0:05:29.200 --> 0:05:31.520
<v Speaker 5>Well, this is a big problem. I mean it's kind

0:05:31.520 --> 0:05:33.960
<v Speaker 5>of understandable if you take a seat like Whitlam or weare,

0:05:34.160 --> 0:05:36.400
<v Speaker 5>which have always been labor, you know, and if your

0:05:36.400 --> 0:05:40.480
<v Speaker 5>family has always voted labor and your grandparents all voted labor. Yeah,

0:05:40.520 --> 0:05:42.920
<v Speaker 5>it's a bit of a big step to make. At

0:05:43.000 --> 0:05:45.800
<v Speaker 5>once fell swoop and I understand. You know, in the past,

0:05:45.800 --> 0:05:48.560
<v Speaker 5>people would vote one nation and we used to call

0:05:48.600 --> 0:05:51.919
<v Speaker 5>them one nation a gateway drug to voting liberal. But

0:05:52.000 --> 0:05:53.560
<v Speaker 5>I'm not sure that that's going to happen now. I

0:05:53.600 --> 0:05:55.880
<v Speaker 5>think that they really there's really a lot of great

0:05:55.880 --> 0:05:58.240
<v Speaker 5>deal of suspicion of both major parties. They're going to

0:05:58.240 --> 0:06:00.000
<v Speaker 5>have to earn that trust back. It's going to be

0:06:00.200 --> 0:06:02.040
<v Speaker 5>very hard. They won't be able to do it in

0:06:02.040 --> 0:06:04.440
<v Speaker 5>one election, but they've really got to try, because we're

0:06:04.480 --> 0:06:07.520
<v Speaker 5>talking in some of these seats fifteen sixteen seventeen percent

0:06:07.600 --> 0:06:11.320
<v Speaker 5>of the vote conservative vote going to conservative independence, not

0:06:11.360 --> 0:06:13.680
<v Speaker 5>to the Liberal Party. And if they want to govern,

0:06:13.760 --> 0:06:15.560
<v Speaker 5>then clearly they've got to change that.

0:06:17.880 --> 0:06:21.560
<v Speaker 2>And we've seen the coalitions vote dive as well in

0:06:21.600 --> 0:06:27.280
<v Speaker 2>recent polling, and that's votes on the right that they're

0:06:27.320 --> 0:06:29.400
<v Speaker 2>losing again to the minor parties.

0:06:30.640 --> 0:06:32.760
<v Speaker 3>Why is that vote fracturing.

0:06:32.320 --> 0:06:36.640
<v Speaker 2>On the right flank of the Liberal Party? Is just

0:06:36.680 --> 0:06:41.080
<v Speaker 2>because their policies appear too similar to Labor? Is it

0:06:41.120 --> 0:06:45.640
<v Speaker 2>because they're refusing to walk away from the Paris Steel.

0:06:46.240 --> 0:06:49.640
<v Speaker 2>I'm wondering why when we've got such a left leaning

0:06:49.920 --> 0:06:53.760
<v Speaker 2>federal government, we've got so many on the right who

0:06:53.839 --> 0:06:55.839
<v Speaker 2>are not happy with the coalition.

0:06:57.080 --> 0:06:59.760
<v Speaker 5>I suspect it's because the Liberal Party try and pull

0:06:59.800 --> 0:07:02.240
<v Speaker 5>their punches a bit. They know they want to try

0:07:02.279 --> 0:07:05.200
<v Speaker 5>and win back some of the Teal seats and they

0:07:05.240 --> 0:07:07.920
<v Speaker 5>know that some of the things that ordinary people would

0:07:07.920 --> 0:07:11.120
<v Speaker 5>think was quite normal would go down very badly in

0:07:11.160 --> 0:07:14.240
<v Speaker 5>those TiAl seats. So this is the eternal dilemma for them.

0:07:14.280 --> 0:07:17.080
<v Speaker 5>I mean, I think that their future clearly does not

0:07:17.200 --> 0:07:20.920
<v Speaker 5>lie in Wentworth and Couyon. It lies out in those

0:07:21.000 --> 0:07:26.800
<v Speaker 5>places like Banks like Chris Bowen, Seed McMahon Whitnam, and

0:07:27.200 --> 0:07:30.280
<v Speaker 5>in Victorian in seats like Corwell for instance, in the

0:07:30.280 --> 0:07:34.000
<v Speaker 5>northern suburbs of Melbourne, and that's where they have to

0:07:34.120 --> 0:07:36.560
<v Speaker 5>really start building their base. They have to be able

0:07:36.600 --> 0:07:39.880
<v Speaker 5>to win elections without any of those Teal seats, and

0:07:39.920 --> 0:07:42.640
<v Speaker 5>they'll do that by giving a very clear message, as

0:07:42.680 --> 0:07:44.560
<v Speaker 5>clear as the one that Peter Dutton gave in the

0:07:44.600 --> 0:07:47.680
<v Speaker 5>voice referendum.

0:07:48.080 --> 0:07:52.280
<v Speaker 2>You know what, I wish you were advising the opposition leader,

0:07:52.320 --> 0:07:54.960
<v Speaker 2>because I think you're one hundred percent right. I think

0:07:55.000 --> 0:07:58.720
<v Speaker 2>this desperation to claw back some of those Till seats

0:07:59.400 --> 0:08:02.960
<v Speaker 2>could cost the election because they have again compromised on

0:08:03.000 --> 0:08:06.720
<v Speaker 2>their messaging on their policies, on who they are and

0:08:06.760 --> 0:08:10.040
<v Speaker 2>what they stand for, and the electorate I think, is

0:08:10.080 --> 0:08:12.320
<v Speaker 2>going to be reluctant to throw out a first term

0:08:12.360 --> 0:08:16.760
<v Speaker 2>government without an opposition that is absolutely clear in what

0:08:16.840 --> 0:08:19.600
<v Speaker 2>its values are and what its policies are. They're just

0:08:19.680 --> 0:08:23.440
<v Speaker 2>too much same same for the average voter who's not

0:08:23.720 --> 0:08:27.960
<v Speaker 2>all that politically engaged. Now, let's talk about revelations from

0:08:28.680 --> 0:08:33.400
<v Speaker 2>documents obtained under freedom of information laws by Bloomberg showing

0:08:33.440 --> 0:08:37.720
<v Speaker 2>that the Albanezi government, through Communications Minister Michelle Roland, gave

0:08:37.880 --> 0:08:43.480
<v Speaker 2>YouTube's CEO Neil Mohan a guarantee last year that his

0:08:43.679 --> 0:08:47.360
<v Speaker 2>platform would be exempt from Australia's ban on social media

0:08:47.480 --> 0:08:52.559
<v Speaker 2>for youngsters before the government. And they made this assurance

0:08:52.679 --> 0:08:57.319
<v Speaker 2>nick before the government had even decided which platforms would

0:08:57.320 --> 0:08:57.880
<v Speaker 2>be covered.

0:08:57.960 --> 0:09:00.080
<v Speaker 3>YouTube has war.

0:09:00.000 --> 0:09:04.240
<v Speaker 2>Foid being part of this ban, and if we're trusting

0:09:04.280 --> 0:09:08.319
<v Speaker 2>the word of the Safety Commissioner, YouTube is the most

0:09:08.400 --> 0:09:13.480
<v Speaker 2>popular online platform for youngsters, so why are they exempt?

0:09:14.280 --> 0:09:17.240
<v Speaker 2>For the record, I'm against this entire ban. I think

0:09:17.280 --> 0:09:21.920
<v Speaker 2>it's absolutely idiotic. But why does it apply to X

0:09:22.000 --> 0:09:23.600
<v Speaker 2>but it doesn't apply to YouTube?

0:09:24.160 --> 0:09:26.560
<v Speaker 5>Absolute mystery to me, beater, and I'm with you. I

0:09:26.600 --> 0:09:28.439
<v Speaker 5>think this is the wrong approach. I don't think you

0:09:28.920 --> 0:09:32.760
<v Speaker 5>deal with this problem by banning anything for children. You

0:09:34.000 --> 0:09:36.920
<v Speaker 5>deal with it by empowering parents by giving them the

0:09:37.000 --> 0:09:39.760
<v Speaker 5>online tools which Google and Apple have got incidentally, but

0:09:39.760 --> 0:09:42.320
<v Speaker 5>they're not releasing that will allow them to monitor their

0:09:42.400 --> 0:09:45.400
<v Speaker 5>children's content and encourage their children to use their phones

0:09:46.120 --> 0:09:49.320
<v Speaker 5>their phones responsibly. That's where this should be. It shouldn't

0:09:49.360 --> 0:09:51.880
<v Speaker 5>be the government. But if you are going to introduce laws,

0:09:51.920 --> 0:09:54.800
<v Speaker 5>don't have favorites. Don't start playing favorites. Or the whole

0:09:54.800 --> 0:09:58.080
<v Speaker 5>thing looks like a stitch up. And I'd like to

0:09:58.080 --> 0:10:00.400
<v Speaker 5>think there was a very good reason, maybe had some

0:10:00.760 --> 0:10:03.680
<v Speaker 5>cast iron assurances or promises from YouTube, But I don't know.

0:10:03.760 --> 0:10:04.440
<v Speaker 1>We just don't know.

0:10:04.480 --> 0:10:06.880
<v Speaker 5>All this is being conducted in secret, like so much

0:10:06.880 --> 0:10:08.400
<v Speaker 5>else that the government does in this year.

0:10:08.480 --> 0:10:14.160
<v Speaker 2>Yes, and we know a YouTube is owned by Google

0:10:14.360 --> 0:10:21.000
<v Speaker 2>and so extremely powerful. It pretty much controls the flow

0:10:21.040 --> 0:10:23.880
<v Speaker 2>of information. If you want to do a search on

0:10:23.960 --> 0:10:26.880
<v Speaker 2>any topic, what are you using? You're using Google, So

0:10:27.600 --> 0:10:31.240
<v Speaker 2>I can understand why they wouldn't want to upset that goliath.

0:10:32.040 --> 0:10:35.880
<v Speaker 2>Before you go, nick a landmark judgment in the UK,

0:10:36.240 --> 0:10:38.880
<v Speaker 2>the Supreme Court there has ruled that a woman is

0:10:38.960 --> 0:10:44.360
<v Speaker 2>a biological female and that when it legally men with

0:10:44.679 --> 0:10:48.400
<v Speaker 2>gender certificates saying they are women, men who identify as women,

0:10:48.440 --> 0:10:52.720
<v Speaker 2>well they're not women because a woman is a biological female.

0:10:52.800 --> 0:10:54.920
<v Speaker 2>It's kind of sad that this needs to be stated

0:10:55.000 --> 0:10:59.600
<v Speaker 2>in the Supreme Court, but it is an enormous victory

0:11:00.200 --> 0:11:05.360
<v Speaker 2>women's rights advocates, including JK. Rowling, who celebrated the verdict,

0:11:05.480 --> 0:11:09.840
<v Speaker 2>writing on x it took three extraordinary, tenacious Scottish women

0:11:10.000 --> 0:11:12.480
<v Speaker 2>with an army behind them to get this case heard

0:11:12.480 --> 0:11:16.120
<v Speaker 2>by the Supreme Court, and in winning they've protected the

0:11:16.200 --> 0:11:20.280
<v Speaker 2>rights of women and girls across the UK. Nick so

0:11:20.400 --> 0:11:25.600
<v Speaker 2>many women men also have been sacked, have been canceled,

0:11:25.760 --> 0:11:33.240
<v Speaker 2>have been counseled because they've stated biological realities, they've refused

0:11:33.280 --> 0:11:37.160
<v Speaker 2>to accept pronouns, or they've called a man a man,

0:11:37.320 --> 0:11:42.280
<v Speaker 2>and this landmark ruling hopefully puts an end to that.

0:11:43.480 --> 0:11:46.079
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, the Court acted because they wanted to clear up

0:11:46.160 --> 0:11:50.559
<v Speaker 5>all the absurdities and contradictions and clashes that were happening

0:11:50.600 --> 0:11:55.400
<v Speaker 5>in legal cases in Britain. And you know what they've

0:11:55.440 --> 0:11:58.800
<v Speaker 5>done is to show that transgender rights, if there's such

0:11:58.840 --> 0:12:01.800
<v Speaker 5>a thing, own you go as far as women's rights,

0:12:01.840 --> 0:12:06.000
<v Speaker 5>women's rights. In the end, women have the right to

0:12:06.080 --> 0:12:09.040
<v Speaker 5>keep transgender men out of sport or any other forum

0:12:09.400 --> 0:12:11.880
<v Speaker 5>if they so choose, and this case sets that up

0:12:11.920 --> 0:12:15.200
<v Speaker 5>beautifully for them. In the UK, the Australian courts, the

0:12:15.240 --> 0:12:17.680
<v Speaker 5>High Court here will have the chance to make a

0:12:17.720 --> 0:12:20.480
<v Speaker 5>similar decision if it chooses to do so in the

0:12:20.520 --> 0:12:23.360
<v Speaker 5>appeal over the Giggle versus Tigle case which is coming

0:12:23.440 --> 0:12:26.120
<v Speaker 5>up and I understands later this year, and they're looking

0:12:26.120 --> 0:12:29.200
<v Speaker 5>for clarification from the law that exactly the same thing

0:12:29.320 --> 0:12:35.080
<v Speaker 5>that sex is sex men and women, and gender is

0:12:35.160 --> 0:12:37.920
<v Speaker 5>quite something weird and constructed on top of that. So

0:12:38.360 --> 0:12:41.000
<v Speaker 5>that's the decision we'll be looking for here. And I

0:12:41.040 --> 0:12:44.079
<v Speaker 5>think with the debate going that way in the United

0:12:44.080 --> 0:12:47.480
<v Speaker 5>States that the same way in Britain. Away from this stuff,

0:12:47.679 --> 0:12:51.960
<v Speaker 5>away from this nonsense transgender rights argument, then I think

0:12:51.960 --> 0:12:54.360
<v Speaker 5>we're going to look very very strange in this country

0:12:54.400 --> 0:12:57.400
<v Speaker 5>if we don't also wake up and fix the law

0:12:57.480 --> 0:12:57.800
<v Speaker 5>over this.

0:13:00.280 --> 0:13:01.600
<v Speaker 3>Nikata, thanks for your time.

0:13:02.880 --> 0:13:07.320
<v Speaker 2>Joining me now is Victorian State Liberal MP Richard Reardon. Richard,

0:13:07.400 --> 0:13:13.000
<v Speaker 2>the Victorian government's war against property investors is bearing fruit.

0:13:13.080 --> 0:13:15.079
<v Speaker 3>Mum and Dad landlords are selling up.

0:13:15.760 --> 0:13:19.920
<v Speaker 2>We're seeing the pool of rental properties diminish further and

0:13:20.000 --> 0:13:24.200
<v Speaker 2>that's seeing rents increase. Data out Today's shows rents have

0:13:24.360 --> 0:13:27.760
<v Speaker 2>spiked in the first quarter of twenty twenty five, particularly

0:13:27.760 --> 0:13:30.600
<v Speaker 2>here in Melbourne, where rents have increased by around fifteen

0:13:30.679 --> 0:13:35.080
<v Speaker 2>dollars a week on average. Richard, it's an increase that

0:13:35.240 --> 0:13:38.359
<v Speaker 2>renters can ill afford in the current environment.

0:13:39.320 --> 0:13:43.079
<v Speaker 6>Yes, Rita, thanks for the opportunity. It is crazy here

0:13:43.120 --> 0:13:47.600
<v Speaker 6>in Victoria. Who'd have thought restricts supply and prices go up.

0:13:48.360 --> 0:13:50.840
<v Speaker 6>We all know it. It's the most basic law of

0:13:50.880 --> 0:13:54.960
<v Speaker 6>supplying demand. And here in Victoria, the Victorian government just

0:13:55.040 --> 0:14:00.440
<v Speaker 6>believes that property property investors are people that provide a

0:14:00.480 --> 0:14:03.560
<v Speaker 6>place for thirty to forty percent of the population to live,

0:14:03.920 --> 0:14:07.040
<v Speaker 6>can just continue to be taxed and it's not going

0:14:07.120 --> 0:14:10.000
<v Speaker 6>to have an effect. That's their view. But the market

0:14:10.040 --> 0:14:13.960
<v Speaker 6>reality is, Rita, the more costs and charges you put

0:14:14.080 --> 0:14:17.280
<v Speaker 6>on property owners, the more they have to charge in

0:14:17.360 --> 0:14:20.520
<v Speaker 6>order to get a return on investment. Property has to

0:14:20.640 --> 0:14:23.920
<v Speaker 6>stop being seen as a cash cow for the broke

0:14:24.080 --> 0:14:27.360
<v Speaker 6>Victorian state government. And until that happens, the people the

0:14:27.400 --> 0:14:30.280
<v Speaker 6>most vulnerable, those renting are going to continue to.

0:14:30.200 --> 0:14:33.880
<v Speaker 2>Pay the price now, Richard, of course, we've seen land

0:14:33.960 --> 0:14:37.920
<v Speaker 2>tax skyrocket in this state as well. The state government

0:14:37.960 --> 0:14:41.320
<v Speaker 2>is certainly hooked on property taxes. A lot of mum

0:14:41.320 --> 0:14:44.800
<v Speaker 2>and dad investors are selling up for that reason. Does

0:14:44.840 --> 0:14:48.600
<v Speaker 2>the Liberal Party have a policy to address.

0:14:48.240 --> 0:14:52.720
<v Speaker 6>That, well, Rita, we will absolutely have a policy that

0:14:52.880 --> 0:14:57.120
<v Speaker 6>will be designed first and foremost to make housing more affordable,

0:14:57.160 --> 0:15:00.960
<v Speaker 6>whether you're buying a home or renting a home when

0:15:01.000 --> 0:15:04.160
<v Speaker 6>we go to the polls next November. The sad reality

0:15:04.240 --> 0:15:07.160
<v Speaker 6>for us as a potential future well not only potential

0:15:07.160 --> 0:15:10.240
<v Speaker 6>but hopefully the next government here in Victoria is we

0:15:10.280 --> 0:15:12.320
<v Speaker 6>have two more budgets to get through before we have

0:15:12.360 --> 0:15:15.920
<v Speaker 6>an opportunity to change government here in Victoria. Now, you'll

0:15:15.960 --> 0:15:19.200
<v Speaker 6>recall anyone who was unfortunate enough to look at the

0:15:19.200 --> 0:15:22.480
<v Speaker 6>budget last year, it was riddled with TVCs. Two be

0:15:22.680 --> 0:15:26.200
<v Speaker 6>confirms we haven't seen an honest budget produced in Victoria

0:15:26.240 --> 0:15:28.760
<v Speaker 6>for a long time. We've got another three or four

0:15:28.760 --> 0:15:32.280
<v Speaker 6>weeks to see this year's budget. We fully expect TVCs

0:15:32.320 --> 0:15:36.200
<v Speaker 6>and with all the uncertainty around the suburban rail loop investment,

0:15:36.320 --> 0:15:41.080
<v Speaker 6>billions and billions potentially wasted and tied up. But Ultimately,

0:15:41.120 --> 0:15:43.880
<v Speaker 6>the goal is we will need to present some hope

0:15:44.240 --> 0:15:48.160
<v Speaker 6>and opportunity not only to property owners, but property renters

0:15:49.120 --> 0:15:51.320
<v Speaker 6>and first home buyers, and that will have to come

0:15:51.360 --> 0:15:54.680
<v Speaker 6>in part through a revamp and a rejig of our

0:15:54.760 --> 0:15:57.560
<v Speaker 6>land tax system here in Victoria. But you know, the

0:15:57.600 --> 0:15:59.560
<v Speaker 6>honest truth is it's going to be a heart slog.

0:16:00.080 --> 0:16:02.840
<v Speaker 6>We can't put the finishing touches on our priorities for that.

0:16:03.120 --> 0:16:05.440
<v Speaker 6>And do we have some understanding of what this budget's

0:16:05.440 --> 0:16:06.000
<v Speaker 6>going to look like.

0:16:08.640 --> 0:16:11.680
<v Speaker 2>Well, we've got the Victorian government pledging to build eight

0:16:11.760 --> 0:16:14.840
<v Speaker 2>hundred thousand new homes in a ten year period between

0:16:14.880 --> 0:16:18.960
<v Speaker 2>twenty twenty four to twenty thirty four. But Richard, that's

0:16:19.000 --> 0:16:23.280
<v Speaker 2>already off to a shaky start. They're already behind the

0:16:23.360 --> 0:16:27.560
<v Speaker 2>eight ball, and industry figures are saying that the state's

0:16:27.680 --> 0:16:30.360
<v Speaker 2>rigid tax regime has a lot to do with that,

0:16:30.640 --> 0:16:35.280
<v Speaker 2>and housing completions are actually now trending backwards.

0:16:36.760 --> 0:16:39.120
<v Speaker 3>This is just a simple supply and demand issue.

0:16:39.120 --> 0:16:40.520
<v Speaker 2>At the end of the day, region We've got a

0:16:40.560 --> 0:16:43.040
<v Speaker 2>lot of people coming into Victoria and we're not having

0:16:43.080 --> 0:16:44.240
<v Speaker 2>a lot of houses built.

0:16:45.040 --> 0:16:48.480
<v Speaker 6>No reader, we're not, and that's simply because bringing a

0:16:48.640 --> 0:16:51.240
<v Speaker 6>block of land to market here in Victoria is just

0:16:51.320 --> 0:16:55.280
<v Speaker 6>so cost prohibitive. The bulk of Victorians sit between a

0:16:55.400 --> 0:16:59.320
<v Speaker 6>four hundred and eight hundred thousand dollars cap on their

0:16:59.360 --> 0:17:03.560
<v Speaker 6>mortgage capacity to borrow and to take their first home

0:17:03.680 --> 0:17:08.359
<v Speaker 6>sits roughly in that bandwidth of finance. This government has

0:17:08.400 --> 0:17:11.720
<v Speaker 6>almost made it impossible. All the talk in recent months

0:17:11.760 --> 0:17:15.800
<v Speaker 6>of changes to the twenty story towers and the activity

0:17:15.880 --> 0:17:19.800
<v Speaker 6>zones and the new planning schemes basically cannot bring a

0:17:19.920 --> 0:17:23.320
<v Speaker 6>house to market in Victoria, any sort of reasonable home

0:17:23.400 --> 0:17:24.920
<v Speaker 6>for Victorians under.

0:17:24.720 --> 0:17:25.520
<v Speaker 1>A million dollars.

0:17:25.560 --> 0:17:28.840
<v Speaker 6>We are just pricing young Victorians out. And in fact,

0:17:28.840 --> 0:17:32.280
<v Speaker 6>whether you're in Ballarat, Bendigo, Geelong, you name it, out

0:17:32.320 --> 0:17:36.080
<v Speaker 6>of suburbs of Melbourne, every corner of Victoria now is

0:17:36.200 --> 0:17:39.880
<v Speaker 6>taxed out of existence. When it comes to bringing affordable

0:17:39.960 --> 0:17:42.640
<v Speaker 6>new homes a changing government next year, as I said

0:17:42.920 --> 0:17:47.400
<v Speaker 6>earlier Rita, the focus has to be on safe, affordable,

0:17:47.720 --> 0:17:51.560
<v Speaker 6>accessible homes that are practical and available for people. At

0:17:51.600 --> 0:17:53.920
<v Speaker 6>the end of the day, we have to ask serious

0:17:53.960 --> 0:17:58.680
<v Speaker 6>questions about what political dynamite this government is building in,

0:17:58.760 --> 0:18:02.000
<v Speaker 6>whether it's the increase in taxes, whether it's the rules

0:18:02.000 --> 0:18:05.280
<v Speaker 6>and regulations about energy efficiency and other things that are

0:18:05.440 --> 0:18:09.800
<v Speaker 6>just not necessarily appropriate for homes here in Victoria, and

0:18:09.840 --> 0:18:12.160
<v Speaker 6>as a result, the cost is embedded in and when

0:18:12.160 --> 0:18:14.960
<v Speaker 6>it's nearly forty two percent of the cost of a

0:18:15.000 --> 0:18:18.280
<v Speaker 6>new greenfield home here in Victoria is in taxes and charges,

0:18:18.760 --> 0:18:20.760
<v Speaker 6>you know the state has a big role to play

0:18:20.840 --> 0:18:28.400
<v Speaker 6>in helping make homes more affordable for everybody.

0:18:27.880 --> 0:18:28.280
<v Speaker 3>That's it.

0:18:28.320 --> 0:18:30.680
<v Speaker 2>They've just got to get out of the way, cut

0:18:30.760 --> 0:18:33.480
<v Speaker 2>some of that regulation, the red tape, the green tape,

0:18:33.480 --> 0:18:38.159
<v Speaker 2>the black tape, and make it attractive for developers to

0:18:38.200 --> 0:18:39.520
<v Speaker 2>actually build properties that.

0:18:39.480 --> 0:18:40.480
<v Speaker 3>People want to live in.

0:18:41.040 --> 0:18:43.840
<v Speaker 2>Now you've done a bit of a detective work, Richard,

0:18:43.880 --> 0:18:46.000
<v Speaker 2>You've done a bit of digging and uncovered that the

0:18:46.280 --> 0:18:51.760
<v Speaker 2>till candidate for Wanen, Alex Dyson, has received seventy five

0:18:51.880 --> 0:18:56.359
<v Speaker 2>percent of his money from just ten families, nine of

0:18:56.400 --> 0:19:01.240
<v Speaker 2>them based in Sydney, including Simon Holmes a court Richard,

0:19:01.240 --> 0:19:03.760
<v Speaker 2>Sydney is a long way from mornable.

0:19:05.440 --> 0:19:06.160
<v Speaker 3>You're not wrong.

0:19:07.520 --> 0:19:09.919
<v Speaker 6>The only solution I've got to this reader is I

0:19:09.960 --> 0:19:13.639
<v Speaker 6>have a sneaking suspicion that these Sydney siders have confused

0:19:13.800 --> 0:19:17.159
<v Speaker 6>Lizmore and Camper down in New South Wales with the

0:19:17.160 --> 0:19:19.840
<v Speaker 6>beautiful townships of Lismore and camperdown.

0:19:19.400 --> 0:19:20.639
<v Speaker 1>Here in want And.

0:19:20.680 --> 0:19:23.960
<v Speaker 6>It doesn't make much sense that these people they don't

0:19:24.000 --> 0:19:26.800
<v Speaker 6>even have a presence here. That the most the fabulously

0:19:26.880 --> 0:19:29.959
<v Speaker 6>wealthy Simon Holmes of Court Reader, he has a property

0:19:30.000 --> 0:19:32.280
<v Speaker 6>and probably has many here in He's probably got one

0:19:32.320 --> 0:19:36.000
<v Speaker 6>in the CBD of Melbourne for business meetings and Climate

0:19:36.000 --> 0:19:38.880
<v Speaker 6>two hundred gatherings. But he doesn't even have a property

0:19:38.880 --> 0:19:42.040
<v Speaker 6>on our beautiful Great Ocean Road. Now I'd cut in

0:19:42.160 --> 0:19:44.960
<v Speaker 6>some slack if he'd actually invested in our community, but

0:19:45.359 --> 0:19:48.080
<v Speaker 6>he's not. Of course, he's not interested in our community.

0:19:48.280 --> 0:19:50.480
<v Speaker 6>He just knows that our community here in One and

0:19:50.560 --> 0:19:54.679
<v Speaker 6>Reader delivers thirty percent of the affordable gas into the

0:19:54.720 --> 0:19:58.520
<v Speaker 6>market here in Victoria. We are the backbone of cheap

0:19:58.600 --> 0:20:02.480
<v Speaker 6>gas in Victoria. From one we supply thirty percent of

0:20:02.520 --> 0:20:07.760
<v Speaker 6>Australia's dairy product, our timber industry, all sorts of fabulous

0:20:07.800 --> 0:20:11.119
<v Speaker 6>things come from gas production here in Wanten. And mister

0:20:11.320 --> 0:20:14.320
<v Speaker 6>Holmes Accord and his nine other friends, including a vet

0:20:14.520 --> 0:20:17.440
<v Speaker 6>from Sydney, they are held bent on shutting that down.

0:20:17.480 --> 0:20:19.960
<v Speaker 6>And quite frankly, the voters of want And have only

0:20:20.000 --> 0:20:24.600
<v Speaker 6>one choice backing the harbor Bridge brigade, and they're desire

0:20:24.640 --> 0:20:27.560
<v Speaker 6>to shut half our industries down or back are local

0:20:27.600 --> 0:20:29.680
<v Speaker 6>and that's the wonderful Dantean.

0:20:31.720 --> 0:20:32.800
<v Speaker 3>Now before you go.

0:20:33.400 --> 0:20:35.920
<v Speaker 2>The Herald Sun reported earlier this week that there is

0:20:35.960 --> 0:20:41.080
<v Speaker 2>a plot by Liberal operatives to and Moradeeming's political career.

0:20:41.240 --> 0:20:45.480
<v Speaker 2>Multiple candidates are going to be gearing up to challenge

0:20:45.520 --> 0:20:48.680
<v Speaker 2>her for that number one position on the Western Metropolitan

0:20:48.760 --> 0:20:52.639
<v Speaker 2>Upper House ticket. Richard, this is bewildering.

0:20:52.800 --> 0:20:53.520
<v Speaker 3>She is one of the.

0:20:53.440 --> 0:20:58.720
<v Speaker 2>Most popular, recognizable Liberals in this state. Why can't the

0:20:58.760 --> 0:21:02.480
<v Speaker 2>Liberal Party just unite behind her instead of trying to

0:21:02.600 --> 0:21:03.640
<v Speaker 2>undermine her position.

0:21:04.840 --> 0:21:07.600
<v Speaker 6>Well, look, Rita, I think it's fair to say all

0:21:07.680 --> 0:21:11.000
<v Speaker 6>organizations might have a rag tag rump about them that

0:21:11.240 --> 0:21:13.600
<v Speaker 6>you don't want to fight, fight to fight, you don't

0:21:13.640 --> 0:21:18.320
<v Speaker 6>need to have. Look, Moira has proven she's a tough campaigner.

0:21:18.960 --> 0:21:23.600
<v Speaker 6>She's gone to helen back in recent times. We're sticking

0:21:23.640 --> 0:21:27.399
<v Speaker 6>with her. She's been fantastic out in Werribee and the

0:21:27.400 --> 0:21:29.680
<v Speaker 6>West of Melbourne. We all saw the wonderful result we

0:21:29.760 --> 0:21:32.520
<v Speaker 6>got in the Weerribee by election, of which Moira was

0:21:32.560 --> 0:21:35.520
<v Speaker 6>front and center of helping us get. I have no doubt.

0:21:35.880 --> 0:21:38.159
<v Speaker 6>I have no doubt that if when push comes to

0:21:38.240 --> 0:21:42.120
<v Speaker 6>shove sometime next year, if there's still some angry party

0:21:42.160 --> 0:21:44.240
<v Speaker 6>member that wants to challenge a good luck to them,

0:21:44.840 --> 0:21:46.600
<v Speaker 6>they won't have much of a chance. At the end

0:21:46.640 --> 0:21:49.359
<v Speaker 6>of the day, all of us, as pre selected members

0:21:49.359 --> 0:21:51.919
<v Speaker 6>can face a challenge. This just sounds like a bit

0:21:51.960 --> 0:21:54.679
<v Speaker 6>of sour grapes that found its way into the paper.

0:21:54.720 --> 0:21:57.160
<v Speaker 6>But I don't think too many of us will take

0:21:57.160 --> 0:22:00.119
<v Speaker 6>it seriously, and we need Moira, like the rest of

0:22:00.160 --> 0:22:03.760
<v Speaker 6>our team, out every day selling Brad Baton and putting

0:22:03.800 --> 0:22:06.399
<v Speaker 6>the word forward that Victoria's got to change.

0:22:08.600 --> 0:22:12.240
<v Speaker 3>Richard Riden, thanks for your time tonight. You're ready to

0:22:12.240 --> 0:22:16.360
<v Speaker 3>take care still to come. Lefty is a losing ad class.

0:22:16.400 --> 0:22:20.480
<v Speaker 2>New York Attorney General Letitia James, who promised to get.

0:22:20.240 --> 0:22:25.119
<v Speaker 3>Trump, is under investigation herself. Sarah Gonzalez is up next

0:22:34.880 --> 0:22:38.080
<v Speaker 3>Welcome back. Now it's time for Lefty's losing it.

0:22:38.359 --> 0:22:42.679
<v Speaker 2>And George Clooney was on CNN being interviewed by the

0:22:42.960 --> 0:22:47.280
<v Speaker 2>fawning Jake Tapper. Clooney, sporting one of the worst die

0:22:47.400 --> 0:22:51.760
<v Speaker 2>jobs in Hollywood history, is again lying and playing the hero,

0:22:52.040 --> 0:22:55.440
<v Speaker 2>claiming that it was his civic duty to out Joe

0:22:55.440 --> 0:22:58.159
<v Speaker 2>Biden for not being up to it and needing to

0:22:58.200 --> 0:22:58.800
<v Speaker 2>step down.

0:22:59.200 --> 0:23:03.280
<v Speaker 11>You yourself did something that a lot of people would

0:23:03.280 --> 0:23:05.360
<v Speaker 11>call brave when you wrote your up out.

0:23:06.800 --> 0:23:08.280
<v Speaker 3>Well, if it was brave, it was.

0:23:09.840 --> 0:23:11.479
<v Speaker 12>It was a civic duty.

0:23:11.720 --> 0:23:13.359
<v Speaker 13>When I saw people on my side of the street

0:23:13.760 --> 0:23:15.639
<v Speaker 13>not telling the truth, I thought that was time to.

0:23:15.960 --> 0:23:17.160
<v Speaker 1>People still mount it for that.

0:23:17.400 --> 0:23:19.040
<v Speaker 13>Some people, sure, people criticized me.

0:23:19.080 --> 0:23:21.840
<v Speaker 2>They criticized me because of my stance against the war

0:23:22.119 --> 0:23:22.920
<v Speaker 2>twenty years ago.

0:23:22.960 --> 0:23:25.439
<v Speaker 3>And some people picketed my movies and they put me

0:23:25.440 --> 0:23:26.359
<v Speaker 3>on a deck of cards.

0:23:26.880 --> 0:23:29.840
<v Speaker 13>And I, you know, and that's that's I have to

0:23:29.880 --> 0:23:30.320
<v Speaker 13>take that.

0:23:30.320 --> 0:23:30.800
<v Speaker 1>That's fair.

0:23:30.960 --> 0:23:33.240
<v Speaker 14>I'm okay with that. I'm okay with criticism for my

0:23:33.840 --> 0:23:35.080
<v Speaker 14>you know, for where I stand.

0:23:35.560 --> 0:23:37.720
<v Speaker 3>Really, I'm just marveling at that hair dye.

0:23:37.760 --> 0:23:43.160
<v Speaker 2>I mean, how why no, we did cover this whole

0:23:43.200 --> 0:23:47.000
<v Speaker 2>thing when he tried to rewrite history on sixty minutes

0:23:47.040 --> 0:23:50.000
<v Speaker 2>a few weeks back. You know, George must think we're

0:23:50.040 --> 0:23:54.840
<v Speaker 2>all suffering from Biden's cognitive decline, because, far from taking

0:23:54.880 --> 0:23:59.080
<v Speaker 2>a principal stance and doing his civic duty, George Clooney

0:23:59.359 --> 0:24:02.480
<v Speaker 2>was part of the Biden cover up. Not only did

0:24:02.520 --> 0:24:06.159
<v Speaker 2>he hold a massive Hollywood fundraiser for Joe Biden. We

0:24:06.200 --> 0:24:10.440
<v Speaker 2>all remember the President glitching and having to be assisted

0:24:10.480 --> 0:24:14.160
<v Speaker 2>off the stage by Baraco Obama, And then we had

0:24:14.200 --> 0:24:17.920
<v Speaker 2>the White House lie to us and say the videos

0:24:17.920 --> 0:24:21.240
<v Speaker 2>of him being helped off stage were right wing disinformation.

0:24:22.160 --> 0:24:24.920
<v Speaker 3>I remember all that, and I remember that George Clooney.

0:24:25.160 --> 0:24:29.600
<v Speaker 2>George Clooney said nothing that all happened at his event.

0:24:29.680 --> 0:24:31.440
<v Speaker 3>He didn't do his civic duty there.

0:24:31.640 --> 0:24:35.600
<v Speaker 2>No, he waited weeks and weeks and weeks. Only after

0:24:36.040 --> 0:24:40.400
<v Speaker 2>Biden had that disastrous debate performance against Donald Trump.

0:24:41.000 --> 0:24:43.399
<v Speaker 3>Did George Clooney write that op ed? In fact, a

0:24:43.440 --> 0:24:45.000
<v Speaker 3>couple of weeks after the debate.

0:24:45.640 --> 0:24:50.240
<v Speaker 2>Now protests continue against the president. But don't bother asking

0:24:50.320 --> 0:24:55.160
<v Speaker 2>any of these concerned citizens what they're exactly protesting about.

0:24:55.320 --> 0:24:56.840
<v Speaker 1>Can you tell us about your sign today?

0:24:57.400 --> 0:24:58.080
<v Speaker 3>By you the lawyer?

0:24:58.480 --> 0:25:00.280
<v Speaker 1>Don't you thank you? What do you think is the

0:25:00.280 --> 0:25:01.280
<v Speaker 1>biggest lie he's told?

0:25:01.520 --> 0:25:03.359
<v Speaker 11>I think everything that comes out of his mouth is

0:25:03.400 --> 0:25:03.680
<v Speaker 11>a lie.

0:25:03.920 --> 0:25:06.480
<v Speaker 10>I think everything that he says she should leave the opposite.

0:25:06.560 --> 0:25:11.800
<v Speaker 1>Any specific examples where do I even begin? Are you

0:25:12.840 --> 0:25:15.439
<v Speaker 1>what do you? You can come and join? This is

0:25:15.480 --> 0:25:16.400
<v Speaker 1>my son, Rever.

0:25:17.960 --> 0:25:19.960
<v Speaker 10>What's a lie that Donald Trump is told?

0:25:20.800 --> 0:25:22.280
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I don't like him.

0:25:22.600 --> 0:25:24.240
<v Speaker 3>I've got no clothes. Now.

0:25:24.240 --> 0:25:28.520
<v Speaker 2>I wonder what this next lass is talking about. Perhaps

0:25:28.520 --> 0:25:31.239
<v Speaker 2>the Secret Service would care to have a word with her.

0:25:31.359 --> 0:25:33.760
<v Speaker 4>They're not someone out there with the terminal illness that's

0:25:33.800 --> 0:25:37.119
<v Speaker 4>willing to do it. I mean, I'm sure people are

0:25:37.160 --> 0:25:41.320
<v Speaker 4>willing to help. If you're willing to do it. I

0:25:41.359 --> 0:25:44.560
<v Speaker 4>think that there are people willing to help organize it.

0:25:44.680 --> 0:25:44.840
<v Speaker 10>Now.

0:25:44.960 --> 0:25:48.520
<v Speaker 2>Remember when New York Attorney General, the woman who campaigned

0:25:48.560 --> 0:25:52.520
<v Speaker 2>on a promise of getting Trump. Remember when Letitia James

0:25:52.560 --> 0:25:56.320
<v Speaker 2>weaponized her office and conjured up absurd charges in order

0:25:56.359 --> 0:25:57.080
<v Speaker 2>to get Trump.

0:25:57.600 --> 0:25:59.680
<v Speaker 3>She claims, no one is above the law.

0:26:00.080 --> 0:26:00.920
<v Speaker 1>Stand up.

0:26:02.280 --> 0:26:03.960
<v Speaker 3>And enforce the rule of law.

0:26:04.160 --> 0:26:09.480
<v Speaker 14>The President of these United States is not above the law.

0:26:09.760 --> 0:26:14.120
<v Speaker 14>No matter how rich, powerful, or politically connected you are.

0:26:14.320 --> 0:26:17.600
<v Speaker 14>Everyone must play by the same rules you are saying.

0:26:18.119 --> 0:26:21.800
<v Speaker 15>The Federal Housing Finance Agency has sent a criminal referral

0:26:21.920 --> 0:26:26.240
<v Speaker 15>to the DOJ, accusing James of mortgage fraud, and a

0:26:26.320 --> 0:26:29.639
<v Speaker 15>letter to Attorney General Pam BONDI Director Bill Poulte says

0:26:30.080 --> 0:26:33.800
<v Speaker 15>James appears to have falsified wrecords in order to meet

0:26:33.840 --> 0:26:39.160
<v Speaker 15>certain lending requirements and receive favorable loan terms. He cited

0:26:39.200 --> 0:26:42.400
<v Speaker 15>a property in Virginia that she's allegedly claimed as her

0:26:42.440 --> 0:26:43.520
<v Speaker 15>principal residence.

0:26:43.720 --> 0:26:48.000
<v Speaker 7>As a New York elected official, she had to say

0:26:48.000 --> 0:26:50.119
<v Speaker 7>that her principal residence was in New York. This was

0:26:50.160 --> 0:26:53.240
<v Speaker 7>an out of state residence. But also they claimed that

0:26:53.280 --> 0:26:56.280
<v Speaker 7>in some of these forms, she actually states that her

0:26:56.320 --> 0:26:59.919
<v Speaker 7>father is her husband in order to file as a

0:27:00.119 --> 0:27:00.840
<v Speaker 7>married couple.

0:27:01.160 --> 0:27:05.320
<v Speaker 2>Oh dear, looks like the comma bus has come for Letitia,

0:27:05.440 --> 0:27:08.880
<v Speaker 2>and maybe she knew it was coming because what's here.

0:27:09.000 --> 0:27:12.840
<v Speaker 2>At the National Action Network twenty twenty five convention early

0:27:12.920 --> 0:27:15.040
<v Speaker 2>this month, she looks nervous.

0:27:15.280 --> 0:27:16.480
<v Speaker 3>She's unraveling.

0:27:17.200 --> 0:27:18.320
<v Speaker 1>My mission is clear.

0:27:19.800 --> 0:27:25.680
<v Speaker 14>I'm focused, I'm prepared, I'm ready. I've been trained by

0:27:25.680 --> 0:27:30.320
<v Speaker 14>the best. I went to Howard University. I'm not afraid

0:27:30.359 --> 0:27:34.000
<v Speaker 14>of no President Donald Trump. We're ready for you. We're

0:27:34.000 --> 0:27:36.880
<v Speaker 14>coming for you, We're standing up for you.

0:27:37.200 --> 0:27:39.600
<v Speaker 3>We're fighting on. We're not going down.

0:27:39.720 --> 0:27:42.800
<v Speaker 14>Sailing victory, my friends, is clear.

0:27:43.280 --> 0:27:44.560
<v Speaker 1>It's now and.

0:27:44.560 --> 0:27:47.160
<v Speaker 3>I'm not waiting four years. I'm waiting two.

0:27:47.720 --> 0:27:51.480
<v Speaker 14>I tell us, speaker by the name of Hi King Jeffries.

0:27:51.240 --> 0:27:52.520
<v Speaker 1>Comes to bring us.

0:27:52.560 --> 0:27:55.960
<v Speaker 3>Some rest come on, ladies, it's up to us.

0:27:56.200 --> 0:27:59.960
<v Speaker 14>We saved this democracy before, we'll save it now.

0:28:00.440 --> 0:28:01.200
<v Speaker 3>Let's go.

0:28:02.119 --> 0:28:06.320
<v Speaker 2>Johnny Meena is host of Sarah Gonzalez Unfiltered on BLISTAV

0:28:06.520 --> 0:28:11.040
<v Speaker 2>and VP of Texas Family Project. Sarah, what can you

0:28:11.160 --> 0:28:14.480
<v Speaker 2>tell me about the allegations against Letitia James.

0:28:16.080 --> 0:28:18.600
<v Speaker 16>Well, you know, it's interesting, Rita, thanks for having me back,

0:28:18.640 --> 0:28:21.320
<v Speaker 16>by the way, it's interesting. She was just screaming that

0:28:21.400 --> 0:28:23.480
<v Speaker 16>she was focused, and I was watching her eyes and

0:28:23.520 --> 0:28:25.440
<v Speaker 16>it didn't look like she was very focused at all.

0:28:25.440 --> 0:28:27.680
<v Speaker 16>They were looking in two different directions. But what I

0:28:27.720 --> 0:28:31.960
<v Speaker 16>can tell you about her allegations are that these democrats

0:28:32.040 --> 0:28:33.919
<v Speaker 16>here in this country. I don't know if it's like

0:28:33.960 --> 0:28:36.760
<v Speaker 16>this for you guys over there, but in our country,

0:28:37.000 --> 0:28:40.800
<v Speaker 16>the democrats who are accusing Republicans of crimes are the

0:28:40.800 --> 0:28:43.120
<v Speaker 16>ones who are committing the crimes. They are projecting their

0:28:43.160 --> 0:28:46.480
<v Speaker 16>crimes every single time they project their crimes onto us.

0:28:46.520 --> 0:28:49.040
<v Speaker 16>And so you had Letitia James, an Attorney General of

0:28:49.080 --> 0:28:52.880
<v Speaker 16>New York, who was accusing Donald Trump of civil fraud

0:28:53.320 --> 0:28:57.160
<v Speaker 16>for misrepresenting how much he was worth. And then Letitia

0:28:57.240 --> 0:29:01.960
<v Speaker 16>James herself gets accused of misrepresent for a loan and

0:29:02.280 --> 0:29:04.640
<v Speaker 16>Apparently she was the Attorney General of New York and

0:29:04.720 --> 0:29:07.760
<v Speaker 16>she was telling the loan company that she her primary

0:29:07.760 --> 0:29:09.760
<v Speaker 16>residence was going to be in a completely different steat.

0:29:10.040 --> 0:29:12.040
<v Speaker 11>You can't do that when you're the Attorney General of

0:29:12.080 --> 0:29:13.920
<v Speaker 11>New York. So I'm going to say she's.

0:29:13.760 --> 0:29:15.680
<v Speaker 16>Sunk on this one, and it couldn't happen to a

0:29:15.680 --> 0:29:16.600
<v Speaker 16>more deserting person.

0:29:18.640 --> 0:29:18.720
<v Speaker 10>No.

0:29:19.000 --> 0:29:22.440
<v Speaker 2>There's even reports that she'd claimed in the loone documents

0:29:22.440 --> 0:29:24.880
<v Speaker 2>to have been married to her father to get a

0:29:24.880 --> 0:29:25.920
<v Speaker 2>better interest rate.

0:29:26.080 --> 0:29:26.480
<v Speaker 3>I mean, the.

0:29:28.120 --> 0:29:31.160
<v Speaker 2>Full allegations here are something else. But of course the

0:29:31.240 --> 0:29:35.800
<v Speaker 2>leftist media is treating this like some sort of political persecution.

0:29:36.080 --> 0:29:39.000
<v Speaker 2>Even the headlines are misleading. Have a look at that one,

0:29:39.440 --> 0:29:43.400
<v Speaker 2>making it look like they're targeting Democrats, But really they're

0:29:43.400 --> 0:29:48.400
<v Speaker 2>targeting alleged fraud here, and unlike Leticia James, they're not

0:29:48.440 --> 0:29:50.840
<v Speaker 2>trying to create cases out of thin air. I mean,

0:29:50.880 --> 0:29:54.720
<v Speaker 2>her case against Donald Trump was just really out there.

0:29:55.240 --> 0:30:00.200
<v Speaker 2>Now we know with the Trump administration, big part of

0:30:00.240 --> 0:30:04.560
<v Speaker 2>their campaign was to restore the integrity of institutions that

0:30:04.600 --> 0:30:10.120
<v Speaker 2>have become hopelessly politicized. That was an election issue. You know,

0:30:10.240 --> 0:30:14.920
<v Speaker 2>trust in these institutions is at record low. And one

0:30:14.920 --> 0:30:17.920
<v Speaker 2>of the examples, Sarah, is that we still know so

0:30:18.320 --> 0:30:22.600
<v Speaker 2>very little about the assassination attempts against President Trump.

0:30:23.080 --> 0:30:24.640
<v Speaker 3>He doesn't even know what's happened.

0:30:25.120 --> 0:30:29.240
<v Speaker 10>They're all saying it was like a couple of nutjobs.

0:30:29.360 --> 0:30:31.920
<v Speaker 11>Do you believe that, I don't know, you know.

0:30:31.960 --> 0:30:36.040
<v Speaker 10>The one person at eighteen telephones. I have a lot

0:30:36.040 --> 0:30:39.360
<v Speaker 10>of funds, but that's like three yeah, and they're made

0:30:39.400 --> 0:30:43.720
<v Speaker 10>for special reasons. I don't know what to believe. I'll

0:30:43.760 --> 0:30:47.600
<v Speaker 10>be honest. It has not been explained to me perfectly

0:30:48.200 --> 0:30:52.120
<v Speaker 10>by other secret service or the FBI. We have somebody,

0:30:52.480 --> 0:30:56.600
<v Speaker 10>two good people running that and I would like to

0:30:56.600 --> 0:30:59.360
<v Speaker 10>hear the explanation, even if it's not released in the public,

0:30:59.360 --> 0:31:00.280
<v Speaker 10>I should be allowed to.

0:31:00.280 --> 0:31:04.840
<v Speaker 2>Hear it came in, Sarah, What is happening with these investigations?

0:31:04.840 --> 0:31:08.400
<v Speaker 3>Heck? Can we know so little after all this time?

0:31:10.240 --> 0:31:12.480
<v Speaker 16>Well, I mean, Rita, I think the answer is clear,

0:31:12.680 --> 0:31:16.280
<v Speaker 16>because the answer they don't want to become public, so

0:31:16.360 --> 0:31:16.960
<v Speaker 16>they bury it.

0:31:17.000 --> 0:31:18.720
<v Speaker 11>I mean, when this first.

0:31:18.440 --> 0:31:22.000
<v Speaker 16>Assassination attempt came out and we had this loan shooter,

0:31:22.400 --> 0:31:25.520
<v Speaker 16>this young man didn't have very many friends, went to

0:31:25.560 --> 0:31:29.600
<v Speaker 16>a gun range where we knew that government officials frequented

0:31:29.800 --> 0:31:33.240
<v Speaker 16>coincidentally enough, and you heard his story, and you heard

0:31:33.240 --> 0:31:35.840
<v Speaker 16>that he had these encrypted accounts on his phone, and

0:31:35.840 --> 0:31:38.000
<v Speaker 16>you heard and then all of a sudden you heard

0:31:38.000 --> 0:31:40.960
<v Speaker 16>nothing else. He was connected to all of these foreign accounts,

0:31:41.360 --> 0:31:44.600
<v Speaker 16>and nothing else about it. And so the problem here, Rita,

0:31:44.760 --> 0:31:47.640
<v Speaker 16>is that we are dealing with a deep state bureaucracy

0:31:47.840 --> 0:31:51.800
<v Speaker 16>where the rot just goes so far deep. And unfortunately,

0:31:51.840 --> 0:31:54.520
<v Speaker 16>in this country, we have an election in November, and

0:31:54.560 --> 0:31:57.240
<v Speaker 16>then we have the rest of November, we have December,

0:31:57.400 --> 0:31:59.600
<v Speaker 16>and then we have the better part of January, where

0:31:59.600 --> 0:32:01.840
<v Speaker 16>all of these deep state actors can do whatever they

0:32:01.880 --> 0:32:05.080
<v Speaker 16>want to clean stuff up. And so I fear that

0:32:05.160 --> 0:32:07.640
<v Speaker 16>we never will get the full truth of this man.

0:32:07.680 --> 0:32:10.320
<v Speaker 16>But I mean, you mean to tell me these same

0:32:10.400 --> 0:32:13.400
<v Speaker 16>government officials who could track who was in Washington, d C.

0:32:13.600 --> 0:32:16.240
<v Speaker 16>On January sixth, twenty twenty one, who was even in

0:32:16.280 --> 0:32:19.800
<v Speaker 16>the vicinity of Washington, d C. On that day, couldn't

0:32:19.840 --> 0:32:23.200
<v Speaker 16>actually find any more information out about either of these

0:32:23.240 --> 0:32:26.440
<v Speaker 16>assassination attempts. I don't buy it, Rita, and neither does

0:32:26.480 --> 0:32:27.320
<v Speaker 16>the rest of America.

0:32:29.400 --> 0:32:33.920
<v Speaker 2>Well, that's why trust in these institutions has plummeted, because

0:32:33.960 --> 0:32:38.680
<v Speaker 2>some of This stuff beggars belief. We've seen the rise

0:32:38.800 --> 0:32:42.360
<v Speaker 2>of leftist violence across the US for a number of years,

0:32:42.400 --> 0:32:46.640
<v Speaker 2>and some of these attacks are even impacting Democrats.

0:32:47.480 --> 0:32:49.920
<v Speaker 3>The Governor of Pennsylvania.

0:32:49.160 --> 0:32:53.240
<v Speaker 2>Josh Shapiro's home was attacked, and the suspect, who has

0:32:53.600 --> 0:32:56.400
<v Speaker 2>said he planned to use a hammer to bait the

0:32:56.480 --> 0:33:00.800
<v Speaker 2>governor if he encountered him his admitted this attack was

0:33:00.880 --> 0:33:05.920
<v Speaker 2>motivated by Shapiro's stance on Palestine. Sarah, what else can

0:33:05.960 --> 0:33:07.480
<v Speaker 2>you tell me about this asilent?

0:33:09.320 --> 0:33:13.840
<v Speaker 16>Well, I mean, rita, show me a violent radical and

0:33:14.160 --> 0:33:16.480
<v Speaker 16>show me a Democrat, because they are one and the same.

0:33:16.560 --> 0:33:20.000
<v Speaker 16>These days, it's every single time you have these assailants

0:33:20.000 --> 0:33:22.800
<v Speaker 16>who are motivated because the Democrats have gone out and

0:33:22.800 --> 0:33:25.840
<v Speaker 16>they have intentionally riled people up. They tell people to

0:33:25.920 --> 0:33:28.080
<v Speaker 16>take to the streets, they tell people to get up

0:33:28.120 --> 0:33:31.720
<v Speaker 16>in Trump voters' faces, they tell people to get violent.

0:33:32.080 --> 0:33:33.880
<v Speaker 16>And no one should be shocked that all of these

0:33:33.960 --> 0:33:36.880
<v Speaker 16>radicals who are listening to the likes of Jasmine Crockett

0:33:37.000 --> 0:33:39.840
<v Speaker 16>and AOC and all of these leftist leaders, we shouldn't

0:33:39.880 --> 0:33:41.880
<v Speaker 16>be shocked that they are actually following through with this.

0:33:41.960 --> 0:33:44.640
<v Speaker 16>I mean, we have in this country record levels of

0:33:44.720 --> 0:33:48.240
<v Speaker 16>anti Semitic tone, of anti Semitic rhetoric, and you have

0:33:48.440 --> 0:33:51.440
<v Speaker 16>unfortunately too many useful idiots in this country who are

0:33:51.480 --> 0:33:53.360
<v Speaker 16>listening to it, who are amped up by the rhetoric,

0:33:53.560 --> 0:33:56.560
<v Speaker 16>and they're moved to quote do something even though it's

0:33:56.560 --> 0:33:58.520
<v Speaker 16>of course the wrong thing to do. And so, of

0:33:58.560 --> 0:34:00.920
<v Speaker 16>course we have personal accountability that needs to be had

0:34:00.920 --> 0:34:03.800
<v Speaker 16>in this particular situation. But there are just four too

0:34:03.840 --> 0:34:07.200
<v Speaker 16>many people in this country who are quite comfortable going

0:34:07.240 --> 0:34:10.399
<v Speaker 16>out and saying, you know, saying and then acting upon

0:34:10.840 --> 0:34:15.000
<v Speaker 16>very very violent rhetoric, and you know, personal accountability, sure,

0:34:15.200 --> 0:34:17.400
<v Speaker 16>but I would say that the Democrats rhetoric has a

0:34:17.400 --> 0:34:19.600
<v Speaker 16>lot to do with the rise and the uptick in

0:34:19.640 --> 0:34:20.720
<v Speaker 16>this violence.

0:34:22.600 --> 0:34:28.040
<v Speaker 2>Oh absolutely, And they've normalized this anti semitism. Shapiro should

0:34:28.040 --> 0:34:32.000
<v Speaker 2>have been the VP candidate for Kamala Harris, but because

0:34:32.040 --> 0:34:35.640
<v Speaker 2>he's Jewish, because his pro Israel served in the IDF,

0:34:36.120 --> 0:34:38.440
<v Speaker 2>they didn't want to go there, and they put up

0:34:38.480 --> 0:34:43.040
<v Speaker 2>Tim Walls, possibly the worst VP candidate in history. But

0:34:43.320 --> 0:34:46.920
<v Speaker 2>that just shows you how deep the anti Semitism is

0:34:47.000 --> 0:34:49.800
<v Speaker 2>running in the American left.

0:34:50.080 --> 0:34:52.480
<v Speaker 3>It's not on the fringes anymore.

0:34:53.400 --> 0:34:58.880
<v Speaker 2>The Democrats have also become preoccupied with Trump's deportation strategy,

0:34:59.000 --> 0:35:03.520
<v Speaker 2>something that is actually very popular, and even the deportation

0:35:03.719 --> 0:35:07.279
<v Speaker 2>of gang bangers to El Salvador is causing them concerns.

0:35:07.320 --> 0:35:11.520
<v Speaker 2>They're particularly focused on one case, an illegal immigrant from

0:35:11.640 --> 0:35:15.200
<v Speaker 2>l Salvador, an MS thirteen gang member who is right

0:35:15.239 --> 0:35:18.279
<v Speaker 2>now sitting in a mega prison in El Salvador, but

0:35:18.600 --> 0:35:23.240
<v Speaker 2>Democrat Chris van Holland is determined to bring him home.

0:35:23.760 --> 0:35:24.720
<v Speaker 11>I'm here at the airport.

0:35:24.800 --> 0:35:28.000
<v Speaker 13>I'm about to board my flight for San Salvador. The

0:35:28.040 --> 0:35:31.440
<v Speaker 13>goal of this mission is to let the Trump administration

0:35:31.680 --> 0:35:34.799
<v Speaker 13>to let the government of Al Salvador know that we

0:35:34.920 --> 0:35:39.160
<v Speaker 13>are going to keep fighting to bring Albrego Garcia home.

0:35:39.960 --> 0:35:41.919
<v Speaker 3>Well, I would have thought he was already home. He's

0:35:41.920 --> 0:35:44.440
<v Speaker 3>from El Salvador, Sarah.

0:35:44.520 --> 0:35:48.879
<v Speaker 2>He's in El Salvador now, Chris van Holland, But this

0:35:49.000 --> 0:35:53.919
<v Speaker 2>man who voted against the Lake and Riley Act, he's

0:35:53.960 --> 0:35:56.680
<v Speaker 2>not having much luck getting access to this prisoner.

0:35:58.800 --> 0:35:58.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:35:59.000 --> 0:36:01.040
<v Speaker 16>Who would have thought that you could come to El

0:36:01.120 --> 0:36:04.600
<v Speaker 16>Salvador totally unannounced and show up and knock on the

0:36:04.640 --> 0:36:07.759
<v Speaker 16>door and say, Hey, Bouklee, could you please let me

0:36:07.800 --> 0:36:10.439
<v Speaker 16>into your super max facility. I'd really like to talk

0:36:10.440 --> 0:36:12.840
<v Speaker 16>to one of these prisoners. This guy knew exactly what

0:36:12.880 --> 0:36:14.960
<v Speaker 16>he was doing. It was a total political stunt for

0:36:15.000 --> 0:36:17.680
<v Speaker 16>optics and for attention. And I would just also like

0:36:17.719 --> 0:36:19.560
<v Speaker 16>to point out he did vote against the Lake and

0:36:19.640 --> 0:36:22.680
<v Speaker 16>Riley Act. He also has yet to utter the word

0:36:22.760 --> 0:36:26.280
<v Speaker 16>the name Rachel Morin, who is a woman from Marylyn

0:36:26.360 --> 0:36:29.200
<v Speaker 16>who was beat to death by an illegal immigrant. She

0:36:29.360 --> 0:36:32.400
<v Speaker 16>was beat to death so badly that her mother said

0:36:32.440 --> 0:36:34.839
<v Speaker 16>that all of the law enforcement had to shield these

0:36:34.880 --> 0:36:38.120
<v Speaker 16>pictures from her family because it was so graphic and

0:36:38.200 --> 0:36:42.359
<v Speaker 16>so horrific. Interestingly enough, that man never uttered the word

0:36:42.480 --> 0:36:45.840
<v Speaker 16>Rachel morn or the name Rachel Morin in his entire career,

0:36:45.920 --> 0:36:46.760
<v Speaker 16>and yet wants.

0:36:46.600 --> 0:36:49.200
<v Speaker 11>To go out on a limb for these illegal criminals.

0:36:49.400 --> 0:36:52.600
<v Speaker 16>Look, I would encourage all of these Democrats to continue

0:36:52.960 --> 0:36:55.840
<v Speaker 16>trying to trying to lift up all of these illegals

0:36:55.840 --> 0:36:58.160
<v Speaker 16>that Americans voted in November and said we are tired

0:36:58.200 --> 0:37:00.400
<v Speaker 16>of this, We want these people to go home. And

0:37:00.440 --> 0:37:02.560
<v Speaker 16>I would just like to add President Trump is still

0:37:02.600 --> 0:37:05.480
<v Speaker 16>waiting for a thank you from this man for sending

0:37:05.560 --> 0:37:08.520
<v Speaker 16>him on a free trip back to his home country.

0:37:08.800 --> 0:37:15.960
<v Speaker 16>You're welcome, kilmar Abrigo Garcia, And also You're welcome America.

0:37:14.200 --> 0:37:14.800
<v Speaker 3>Now, Sarah.

0:37:14.840 --> 0:37:19.680
<v Speaker 2>The Trump administration, Steven Miller has pled with the media

0:37:19.760 --> 0:37:23.960
<v Speaker 2>to care as much about Americans killed by illegal immigrants

0:37:24.520 --> 0:37:26.400
<v Speaker 2>as they care about illegal immigrants.

0:37:26.840 --> 0:37:29.440
<v Speaker 1>There's fifteen million legally aliens a bile edge of the country.

0:37:29.680 --> 0:37:31.879
<v Speaker 16>If every one of them got the trial that you're

0:37:31.920 --> 0:37:34.920
<v Speaker 16>asking for, it would take US centuries to remove them centuries.

0:37:35.120 --> 0:37:36.560
<v Speaker 3>And that's the point here.

0:37:36.800 --> 0:37:42.919
<v Speaker 2>If they to observe all these legal challenges, the entire

0:37:42.960 --> 0:37:47.279
<v Speaker 2>deportation program is undermined and becomes unworkable.

0:37:47.320 --> 0:37:48.160
<v Speaker 3>And it seems like.

0:37:48.160 --> 0:37:51.880
<v Speaker 2>That is the plan that the Democrats have got it underway.

0:37:51.920 --> 0:37:56.000
<v Speaker 2>They want to make these too difficult to execute.

0:37:56.239 --> 0:37:58.239
<v Speaker 11>Yeah, I would completely agree with that.

0:37:58.400 --> 0:38:00.920
<v Speaker 16>I mean, you have these people who so my argument

0:38:00.920 --> 0:38:03.719
<v Speaker 16>would be that the Constitution was meant for American citizens,

0:38:03.760 --> 0:38:06.560
<v Speaker 16>and so therefore due process was meant for American citizens.

0:38:06.560 --> 0:38:08.800
<v Speaker 16>And if you come into this country and you commit crimes,

0:38:08.960 --> 0:38:11.480
<v Speaker 16>you are not afforded due process. You can be removed

0:38:11.520 --> 0:38:13.760
<v Speaker 16>and deported at any time. There is no court hearing

0:38:13.960 --> 0:38:17.280
<v Speaker 16>that should be necessary for America to keep ourselves safe.

0:38:17.280 --> 0:38:19.480
<v Speaker 16>But on top of that, you have these illegal criminals

0:38:19.560 --> 0:38:21.240
<v Speaker 16>who should not have been here in the first place,

0:38:21.560 --> 0:38:25.120
<v Speaker 16>like the Kilmar Abrego Garcia who we just referenced, who

0:38:25.480 --> 0:38:27.400
<v Speaker 16>just now we find out today from the Department of

0:38:27.440 --> 0:38:31.000
<v Speaker 16>Homeland Security he had a restraining order from his wife

0:38:31.280 --> 0:38:35.080
<v Speaker 16>several years ago from beating her, from grabbing her, from

0:38:35.120 --> 0:38:37.080
<v Speaker 16>bruising her, from ripping her shirt off.

0:38:37.160 --> 0:38:38.919
<v Speaker 11>These are not good people, and.

0:38:38.840 --> 0:38:41.319
<v Speaker 16>The fact that the Democrats want to go above and

0:38:41.360 --> 0:38:45.000
<v Speaker 16>beyond to continue to bring them back into our country

0:38:45.320 --> 0:38:48.480
<v Speaker 16>is quite frankly treasonous behavior in my opinion. They are

0:38:48.520 --> 0:38:52.760
<v Speaker 16>working day in and day out to make America less safe,

0:38:52.800 --> 0:38:55.560
<v Speaker 16>and they're bragging about it in the mainstream media. The

0:38:55.600 --> 0:38:58.239
<v Speaker 16>fact that these people have so little self awareness that

0:38:58.280 --> 0:39:00.520
<v Speaker 16>they think that this is going to play well in

0:39:00.560 --> 0:39:03.359
<v Speaker 16>front of the American people, who again just voted and

0:39:03.400 --> 0:39:06.879
<v Speaker 16>said we are done with this open border's lawlessness. We

0:39:06.960 --> 0:39:09.680
<v Speaker 16>need safety, we need security, and we need President Trump.

0:39:09.840 --> 0:39:12.000
<v Speaker 16>It is not going to play out well in front

0:39:12.040 --> 0:39:12.880
<v Speaker 16>of the American people.

0:39:15.040 --> 0:39:16.320
<v Speaker 3>No, they're slow learners.

0:39:16.400 --> 0:39:18.799
<v Speaker 2>The media gives them a very good run, indeed, because

0:39:18.800 --> 0:39:19.560
<v Speaker 2>the media is on the.

0:39:19.520 --> 0:39:20.680
<v Speaker 3>Same page as they are.

0:39:20.800 --> 0:39:24.680
<v Speaker 2>But for the great majority of Americans, the more the

0:39:24.680 --> 0:39:28.080
<v Speaker 2>Democrats talk about this issue, the more they know that

0:39:28.160 --> 0:39:31.200
<v Speaker 2>they can't be trusted in government. If you can't protect

0:39:31.200 --> 0:39:35.759
<v Speaker 2>a country's borders, then you are not fit for office.

0:39:36.040 --> 0:39:38.000
<v Speaker 2>Now I'm going to play you some footage.

0:39:38.080 --> 0:39:38.279
<v Speaker 3>Year.

0:39:38.560 --> 0:39:41.920
<v Speaker 2>This is a footage a distraught father took of his

0:39:42.040 --> 0:39:46.919
<v Speaker 2>three year old during their daily walk in San Francisco.

0:39:47.040 --> 0:39:48.440
<v Speaker 3>This is their neighborhood.

0:39:48.440 --> 0:39:50.839
<v Speaker 2>They just come back from two weeks away, and this

0:39:50.920 --> 0:39:55.160
<v Speaker 2>is what greeted them on their doorstep. The father said,

0:39:55.200 --> 0:39:59.120
<v Speaker 2>our politicians are not serious people. Lock these drug dealers

0:39:59.200 --> 0:40:03.840
<v Speaker 2>up and mandate jail or rehab. Now, Sarah, that poor

0:40:03.960 --> 0:40:09.600
<v Speaker 2>kid witnessing those scenes. It is disturbing. But as the

0:40:09.640 --> 0:40:12.399
<v Speaker 2>father explained, this is outside their door. If they want

0:40:12.440 --> 0:40:14.520
<v Speaker 2>to go outside and go for a walk, this is

0:40:14.560 --> 0:40:17.799
<v Speaker 2>what confronts them. And we are seeing that just not

0:40:17.920 --> 0:40:21.280
<v Speaker 2>in San Francisco, but so many of these blue cities

0:40:21.360 --> 0:40:25.040
<v Speaker 2>where they have this very permissive attitude to drug use.

0:40:26.920 --> 0:40:28.280
<v Speaker 11>Yeah, I'm glad that you mentioned.

0:40:28.280 --> 0:40:30.800
<v Speaker 16>The correlation there is that these are all blue cities.

0:40:30.840 --> 0:40:33.279
<v Speaker 16>These are all Democrat run cities. Not just for the

0:40:33.360 --> 0:40:36.560
<v Speaker 16>last several years, but for the last several decades. These

0:40:36.600 --> 0:40:38.960
<v Speaker 16>places have been run by Democrats, and this is the

0:40:39.080 --> 0:40:42.680
<v Speaker 16>end result of Democrat policies. A little girl, three years old,

0:40:42.680 --> 0:40:45.799
<v Speaker 16>who has no business watching what's in front of her,

0:40:46.080 --> 0:40:49.320
<v Speaker 16>seeing all of these drug users right in front of her, horrific,

0:40:49.560 --> 0:40:53.319
<v Speaker 16>just stealing her innocence because of Democrat policies to go

0:40:53.440 --> 0:40:57.520
<v Speaker 16>easy on drug use, on homelessness, on crime, on all

0:40:57.560 --> 0:41:00.040
<v Speaker 16>of it. Now, my hope is that this father, of

0:41:00.080 --> 0:41:01.960
<v Speaker 16>course I don't know him, I don't know how he voted,

0:41:02.000 --> 0:41:04.640
<v Speaker 16>but oftentimes these people who live in these blue cities

0:41:04.800 --> 0:41:07.680
<v Speaker 16>are voting for the very same policies that got them

0:41:07.680 --> 0:41:09.319
<v Speaker 16>into the mess in the first place. And so my

0:41:09.400 --> 0:41:12.200
<v Speaker 16>hope is that that father will at least acknowledge and

0:41:12.320 --> 0:41:15.600
<v Speaker 16>understand the error of San Francisco's ways and do what

0:41:15.680 --> 0:41:18.960
<v Speaker 16>he can to stop it, or bare minimum get his daughter,

0:41:19.080 --> 0:41:20.759
<v Speaker 16>pack her up and get her the hell out of

0:41:20.800 --> 0:41:22.319
<v Speaker 16>San Francisco before it's too late.

0:41:24.480 --> 0:41:27.239
<v Speaker 2>But don't move to a state like Texas and then

0:41:27.320 --> 0:41:30.120
<v Speaker 2>vote for the very same policies that have seen San

0:41:30.160 --> 0:41:32.360
<v Speaker 2>Francisco reduced to that.

0:41:32.360 --> 0:41:33.760
<v Speaker 3>That's part of the prob world.

0:41:33.640 --> 0:41:39.000
<v Speaker 2>Because sometimes, yes, Texas is full. Yeah, Well, if you're

0:41:39.000 --> 0:41:40.920
<v Speaker 2>going to come from California, I think you know they

0:41:40.920 --> 0:41:43.600
<v Speaker 2>should be perhaps ten years when you're not allowed to vote,

0:41:44.280 --> 0:41:49.719
<v Speaker 2>just until you understand perhaps why Texas works in California

0:41:49.880 --> 0:41:52.360
<v Speaker 2>is a mess, Sarah Gonzalez, Thank you so much for

0:41:52.400 --> 0:41:52.840
<v Speaker 2>your time.

0:41:54.080 --> 0:41:55.680
<v Speaker 11>Thank you still to come.

0:41:55.840 --> 0:41:59.840
<v Speaker 2>Alon mask embroiled in yet another Baby Mama scandal.

0:42:00.320 --> 0:42:03.200
<v Speaker 3>Kinseysco Field has the latest.

0:42:12.000 --> 0:42:14.640
<v Speaker 2>You're watching the reader Panny's show, Joining Me now a

0:42:14.800 --> 0:42:17.640
<v Speaker 2>celebrity and royal reporter Kinsey Schofield.

0:42:18.239 --> 0:42:19.760
<v Speaker 3>Kinsey's sources close.

0:42:19.600 --> 0:42:23.800
<v Speaker 2>To Justin Bieber are becoming increasingly concerned for his mental

0:42:23.840 --> 0:42:28.160
<v Speaker 2>health as they watch him disintegrate. A former colleague claims

0:42:28.160 --> 0:42:32.520
<v Speaker 2>that Biber is lost and there's no one protecting him.

0:42:32.640 --> 0:42:35.239
<v Speaker 2>There's no one there willing to say no to him.

0:42:35.440 --> 0:42:37.799
<v Speaker 2>You say no, you get blown out.

0:42:39.160 --> 0:42:41.520
<v Speaker 3>What's happening with him? Because I thought he was on

0:42:41.680 --> 0:42:42.560
<v Speaker 3>the right track.

0:42:42.600 --> 0:42:46.120
<v Speaker 2>He seemed to have found God and was living a

0:42:46.200 --> 0:42:49.600
<v Speaker 2>more wholesome life. Maybe that didn't last long, But I've

0:42:49.640 --> 0:42:52.880
<v Speaker 2>seen some recent clips and he's a mess.

0:42:53.560 --> 0:42:54.239
<v Speaker 12>He really is.

0:42:54.320 --> 0:42:54.520
<v Speaker 3>You know.

0:42:54.560 --> 0:42:56.279
<v Speaker 8>When I used to hang out with him, there were

0:42:56.320 --> 0:42:59.040
<v Speaker 8>always issues with his mother. I remember them getting into

0:42:59.120 --> 0:43:01.880
<v Speaker 8>a big fight back stag in an award show because

0:43:01.880 --> 0:43:04.280
<v Speaker 8>he was angry that she had written a book about

0:43:04.280 --> 0:43:06.839
<v Speaker 8>their life and them and he really felt like it

0:43:06.880 --> 0:43:10.520
<v Speaker 8>was a violation of their relationship. A part of me

0:43:10.560 --> 0:43:13.319
<v Speaker 8>wonders if it's the new baby in his life, if

0:43:13.320 --> 0:43:16.799
<v Speaker 8>he's feeling all of these things about his past now

0:43:16.840 --> 0:43:20.399
<v Speaker 8>that he's a father. He was abandoned by his dad

0:43:20.440 --> 0:43:23.160
<v Speaker 8>at a young age. I don't know, or is it

0:43:23.239 --> 0:43:26.719
<v Speaker 8>Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco. It just feels like he's

0:43:26.840 --> 0:43:29.279
<v Speaker 8>dealing with a lot of stuff right now and it's

0:43:29.400 --> 0:43:33.320
<v Speaker 8>not manifesting in a very appropriate way.

0:43:36.160 --> 0:43:39.960
<v Speaker 2>No, and if he pushes away anybody who tries to

0:43:40.000 --> 0:43:43.200
<v Speaker 2>be honest with him about how he's unraveling, it's hard

0:43:43.280 --> 0:43:46.240
<v Speaker 2>to see how he's going to.

0:43:45.320 --> 0:43:48.320
<v Speaker 3>Snap out of this. We hearing anything from his wife.

0:43:48.840 --> 0:43:54.399
<v Speaker 2>Is there anyone who is doing something to address these behaviors?

0:43:54.920 --> 0:43:59.319
<v Speaker 8>You know, Haley is trying to fight online bullies. I mean,

0:43:59.360 --> 0:44:01.560
<v Speaker 8>that's really been her priority. There's been a lot of

0:44:01.600 --> 0:44:05.920
<v Speaker 8>story circulating about their relationship, and I think.

0:44:05.680 --> 0:44:07.960
<v Speaker 12>That she's kind of fixated.

0:44:07.480 --> 0:44:10.839
<v Speaker 8>On her own brand, similar to somebody we talk about

0:44:10.920 --> 0:44:13.560
<v Speaker 8>quite often on this program, Megan Markle. But I do

0:44:13.640 --> 0:44:15.799
<v Speaker 8>hope that if Bieber's in a bad place, he gets

0:44:15.800 --> 0:44:16.160
<v Speaker 8>some help.

0:44:16.200 --> 0:44:19.520
<v Speaker 12>Of course, he slammed these reports, but you do. When

0:44:19.520 --> 0:44:22.200
<v Speaker 12>you're in Hollywood, you surround yourself by yes. People.

0:44:25.120 --> 0:44:30.439
<v Speaker 2>Now, Elon Musk, we know he has many, many children. Now,

0:44:30.480 --> 0:44:35.560
<v Speaker 2>there's rumors that is offered to impregnate right wing influencer

0:44:35.880 --> 0:44:41.759
<v Speaker 2>Tiffany Fong and then retaliated by slashing her ex earnings

0:44:41.880 --> 0:44:46.239
<v Speaker 2>when she refused. What can you tell me about these allegations.

0:44:46.280 --> 0:44:48.280
<v Speaker 2>I'm not sure if I believe this story.

0:44:49.360 --> 0:44:50.960
<v Speaker 12>My goodness, can you believe this now?

0:44:51.200 --> 0:44:53.960
<v Speaker 8>Phone claims that once she got on his radar and

0:44:54.000 --> 0:44:57.440
<v Speaker 8>he became interested in her, she made approximately twenty thousand

0:44:57.480 --> 0:45:00.840
<v Speaker 8>dollars a month through Twitter's influencer and said to program,

0:45:01.080 --> 0:45:05.760
<v Speaker 8>but when he cut wind that she was gossiping with Ashley,

0:45:06.320 --> 0:45:12.200
<v Speaker 8>with Ashley the other baby mama, he cut her reach

0:45:12.400 --> 0:45:14.319
<v Speaker 8>on Twitter and the money drad up.

0:45:14.719 --> 0:45:15.319
<v Speaker 12>I'm with you.

0:45:15.440 --> 0:45:19.560
<v Speaker 8>I don't know where the truth begins and where the

0:45:19.640 --> 0:45:24.399
<v Speaker 8>gossip starts. But if she's anything like Ashley, then there

0:45:24.440 --> 0:45:28.840
<v Speaker 8>are receipts and we will likely see them at one point.

0:45:29.600 --> 0:45:30.560
<v Speaker 3>Well, this is the thing.

0:45:30.680 --> 0:45:34.800
<v Speaker 2>I'm surprised if you've got these stories, there's not ample

0:45:34.880 --> 0:45:36.359
<v Speaker 2>evidence to back them up.

0:45:36.800 --> 0:45:39.400
<v Speaker 3>Text messages, voice messages.

0:45:38.920 --> 0:45:44.520
<v Speaker 2>Whatever else, however else you've communicated and talking about Ashley Sinclair,

0:45:44.680 --> 0:45:49.280
<v Speaker 2>the mother of Mask's fourteenth child, fourteenth we know about.

0:45:49.920 --> 0:45:53.760
<v Speaker 2>She's made some more bombshell claims. She says she turned

0:45:53.760 --> 0:45:57.839
<v Speaker 2>down fifteen million dollars from Elon Musk to conceal the

0:45:57.880 --> 0:46:01.040
<v Speaker 2>fact that he is the father of her child. She

0:46:01.080 --> 0:46:04.759
<v Speaker 2>didn't want the newborn to feel like he's a sacred

0:46:05.200 --> 0:46:09.560
<v Speaker 2>and Saint Clairsa revealed her son's name for the first time.

0:46:09.719 --> 0:46:11.880
<v Speaker 2>It's a rumorleous Saint Clair.

0:46:13.400 --> 0:46:16.000
<v Speaker 8>I mean, when is this guy going to stop naming

0:46:16.000 --> 0:46:19.360
<v Speaker 8>his children after Wi Fi passwords? My mind is blown

0:46:19.480 --> 0:46:21.239
<v Speaker 8>every time I hear one of these new names.

0:46:21.239 --> 0:46:23.640
<v Speaker 12>But you're right. The Wall Street Journal story, one of

0:46:23.640 --> 0:46:24.840
<v Speaker 12>the craziest parts.

0:46:24.600 --> 0:46:27.480
<v Speaker 8>To me was that he has at least fourteen children

0:46:27.560 --> 0:46:31.279
<v Speaker 8>with four women, But sources close to Elon told the

0:46:31.320 --> 0:46:34.600
<v Speaker 8>journal that the true number of his children is much

0:46:34.760 --> 0:46:39.000
<v Speaker 8>higher than publicly known. He also, and again we talked

0:46:39.000 --> 0:46:42.359
<v Speaker 8>about those receipts Ashley Saint Clair showed the Wall Street

0:46:42.440 --> 0:46:46.000
<v Speaker 8>Journal some text messages that Elon sent her, where he said,

0:46:46.200 --> 0:46:49.640
<v Speaker 8>to reach legion level, that's how many children he wants

0:46:49.719 --> 0:46:54.399
<v Speaker 8>Legion level before the apocalypse, we will need to use sarrogates.

0:46:54.440 --> 0:46:56.120
<v Speaker 12>That's what one of the text messages read.

0:46:56.800 --> 0:47:01.040
<v Speaker 8>Suggesting that he wants to continue pro creator for his legion.

0:47:03.560 --> 0:47:05.719
<v Speaker 2>Well, if he's got this many children, I mean, even

0:47:05.719 --> 0:47:08.640
<v Speaker 2>if it's just fourteen, just fourteen, I can't believe I'm

0:47:08.680 --> 0:47:13.000
<v Speaker 2>saying that he's always seems to be with one. He's

0:47:13.040 --> 0:47:16.839
<v Speaker 2>always with little X. I can imagine the others would

0:47:16.880 --> 0:47:19.640
<v Speaker 2>be a little bit jealous of the attention X is getting.

0:47:19.680 --> 0:47:22.960
<v Speaker 3>Above all others are disus.

0:47:23.280 --> 0:47:26.680
<v Speaker 2>Really, this is the stuff that we're going to see

0:47:26.719 --> 0:47:30.440
<v Speaker 2>movies and all sorts of books written about down the track. Now,

0:47:30.440 --> 0:47:34.120
<v Speaker 2>I want to ask you about Gail King. She's expressed

0:47:34.160 --> 0:47:38.720
<v Speaker 2>her displeasure those calling her trip on Jeff Bezos's Blue

0:47:38.800 --> 0:47:41.759
<v Speaker 2>Origin spacecraft a space ride.

0:47:41.800 --> 0:47:43.320
<v Speaker 3>She finds that very offensive.

0:47:43.360 --> 0:47:47.439
<v Speaker 2>She says it's not a ride because they never say

0:47:47.560 --> 0:47:48.200
<v Speaker 2>men went.

0:47:48.080 --> 0:47:48.600
<v Speaker 3>For a ride.

0:47:48.680 --> 0:47:54.200
<v Speaker 2>She's trying to bring in sexism and misogyny into people

0:47:54.200 --> 0:47:57.960
<v Speaker 2>who are arguing this was just a frivolous exercise. They're

0:47:58.000 --> 0:48:01.840
<v Speaker 2>not astronauts, and let's not pretend end this little stunt

0:48:01.960 --> 0:48:03.680
<v Speaker 2>is going to bring about world peace.

0:48:04.760 --> 0:48:05.080
<v Speaker 3>Amen.

0:48:05.200 --> 0:48:07.040
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, whether or not it's a space rate, I think

0:48:07.080 --> 0:48:10.239
<v Speaker 8>it's irrelevant. The real question is whether it's a conflict

0:48:10.360 --> 0:48:13.359
<v Speaker 8>of interest, and that estrogen enema that we saw launch

0:48:13.400 --> 0:48:16.080
<v Speaker 8>into the sky cost a regular person like you or

0:48:16.120 --> 0:48:19.160
<v Speaker 8>I three hundred thousand dollars, and people want to know

0:48:19.200 --> 0:48:23.360
<v Speaker 8>if King broke her employer, CBS's rules by accepting gifts

0:48:23.360 --> 0:48:26.520
<v Speaker 8>for good coverage in the process of this ego trip.

0:48:26.560 --> 0:48:27.839
<v Speaker 12>I'm much more interested in that.

0:48:27.880 --> 0:48:30.760
<v Speaker 8>This feels like Gail trying to distract from the real issue,

0:48:30.960 --> 0:48:33.440
<v Speaker 8>and that's whether or not this was morally corrupt.

0:48:35.920 --> 0:48:40.320
<v Speaker 2>Well, I just can't believe the carry on, Kinsey. These

0:48:40.440 --> 0:48:44.319
<v Speaker 2>women have put on such a performance afterwards.

0:48:44.320 --> 0:48:45.759
<v Speaker 3>I think no one would have.

0:48:45.760 --> 0:48:49.839
<v Speaker 2>Been critical if they did this and they shared their experience.

0:48:49.960 --> 0:48:53.320
<v Speaker 2>But every single one that I've seen, whether it's Laura Sanchez,

0:48:53.320 --> 0:48:56.719
<v Speaker 2>whether it's Katie Perry or Gail King, has tried to

0:48:56.880 --> 0:49:03.239
<v Speaker 2>paint this stunt as some welld changing significant event, not

0:49:03.400 --> 0:49:07.960
<v Speaker 2>just for womanhood but for mankind. And it's just so

0:49:08.200 --> 0:49:11.920
<v Speaker 2>self delighted, so divorced from reality, it's hard.

0:49:11.800 --> 0:49:12.799
<v Speaker 3>Not to mock it.

0:49:14.160 --> 0:49:17.279
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, I mean, maybe it's not a space ride, maybe

0:49:17.280 --> 0:49:18.680
<v Speaker 8>it's just an ego trip.

0:49:18.760 --> 0:49:20.960
<v Speaker 12>At the end of the day, it's an ego trip.

0:49:20.800 --> 0:49:26.000
<v Speaker 2>Ego trip exactly exactly, Kinsey Schofield, You've nailed it there,

0:49:26.080 --> 0:49:29.400
<v Speaker 2>thank you so much for your time tonight, and that's

0:49:29.600 --> 0:49:30.439
<v Speaker 2>it from May.

0:49:30.520 --> 0:49:32.080
<v Speaker 3>I'll see you tomorrow night.

0:49:32.239 --> 0:49:35.480
<v Speaker 2>For Left, he's losing it at nine pm up next

0:49:35.600 --> 0:49:36.480
<v Speaker 2>it's Newsnight.
