Speaker 1: On scoring in Zastrolia. This is the Wader Panalty Show.
Speaker 2: Good evening and welcome to the Rita Panee Show. I'm
Speaker 2: Danikiti Giorgio coming up tonight.
Speaker 3: Inflation drops to its.
Speaker 2: Lowest level in four years. Will cut through Labour's spin
Speaker 2: on the numbers. Donald Trump's new Press Secretary, Caroline Leavitt
Speaker 2: delivers a takedown of the liberal media. Bartia Ungasadan will
Speaker 2: join us head of course left.
Speaker 3: He's losing it.
Speaker 4: Can someone tell me what MAGA men find attractive so
Speaker 4: that I can wear the complete opposite?
Speaker 5: Thanks?
Speaker 2: Jody me now is News Corps senior writer and columnist
Speaker 2: at Patrick Carly and Patrick. Nice to see you. Thanks
Speaker 2: for joining me. Let's start with the latest inflation numbers.
Speaker 2: It's fallen to its lowest reading since early twenty twenty one.
Speaker 2: The trimmed mean the Reserve Banks preferred measure dropped three
Speaker 2: point two percent in the year to December, compared to
Speaker 2: three point five in October. Headline inflation increased two point
Speaker 2: four percent in the twelve months to decend, but compared
Speaker 2: to two point eight in October, and the Treasurer was
Speaker 2: out spreaking the data.
Speaker 6: On every measure We have now made substantial and sustained
Speaker 6: progress in this fight against inflation. Inflation was much higher
Speaker 6: and rising fast under the Liberals, and when we came
Speaker 6: to office, we've been able to get on top of
Speaker 6: this inflation challenge and to get it down in a
Speaker 6: very meaningful way.
Speaker 2: Patrick, What do you make of the numbers and a
Speaker 2: state and federal government subsidies giving us a false indicator
Speaker 2: of the clear state of play.
Speaker 7: Look, this is great news for Australians. It's the first
Speaker 7: time we haven't had a rate cut since November twenty
Speaker 7: twenty five, and I think we had thirteen rate increases
Speaker 7: on interest rates this Actually, these numbers do give the
Speaker 7: Reserve Bank grounds to actually drop into interest rates later
Speaker 7: this month. Look the political spin on it is fascinating.
Speaker 7: Jim Chalmers, I think he used the term soft landing
Speaker 7: at some point today. After three years have been buffeted
Speaker 7: by rising interest rates, rising power bills and a cost
Speaker 7: of living crisis that really has really struck Australians hard
Speaker 7: for so long, to actually suggest that this is a
Speaker 7: soft landing is pretty ambitious.
Speaker 1: I think.
Speaker 7: Look, it's good news, it's definitely good news, and it
Speaker 7: might have a bearing on the timing of the federal
Speaker 7: election given it is the first good news for many,
Speaker 7: many months for the Albanzi government.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but will that cut through to votes after, as
Speaker 2: you said, years of the cost of living crisis.
Speaker 3: We'll find out now.
Speaker 2: Look, there are warnings that deep seat risks becoming a
Speaker 2: greater threat to national security than the Chinese owned social
Speaker 2: media platform TikTok Deep Seek from by China says it's
Speaker 2: developed an AI model that's almost on par with the
Speaker 2: best of US offerings like Open ai and chat GPT.
Speaker 3: Patrick, I think this is a worry.
Speaker 2: This is clearly a concern, particularly when it comes to
Speaker 2: the AI world, but also China.
Speaker 3: How concerned should we be about it in Australia.
Speaker 7: I think we should be slightly terrified, Damika. Look this
Speaker 7: took the world by surprise. Yesterday we saw the tech
Speaker 7: stock markets worldwide collapse.
Speaker 1: No one was expecting this from China.
Speaker 7: And look, the securit AI is about collecting data, and
Speaker 7: we know that China can be the nefarious and it's
Speaker 7: gathering of data and exposes people. It exposes businesses potentially
Speaker 7: to the misuse of their data in ways that we
Speaker 7: probably can't even quite fathom.
Speaker 1: At the moment.
Speaker 7: I think the entire world, all the experts have come
Speaker 7: out and sort of said, this is scary.
Speaker 1: Watch this space. AI is going to be the future.
Speaker 7: And China has shown again and again that it is
Speaker 7: interested in using and strategically getting ahead of other nations
Speaker 7: in the Western world by misusing data. So I think
Speaker 7: it's a pivotal moment in history.
Speaker 2: This I completely agree, and I do agree. I think
Speaker 2: we should be terrified by this. Now let's talk about energy.
Speaker 2: The Nationals leader David Little Proud says the potential coalition
Speaker 2: government will start work on a first nuclear power plant.
Speaker 3: The very first day if elected.
Speaker 2: Patrick this contradicts previous comments by the coalition that it
Speaker 2: would take two and a half years of community consultations prior.
Speaker 2: But regardless of how important is it to have a
Speaker 2: debate in this country on nuclear and energy, we.
Speaker 1: Haven't been allowed to have a debate, have we for years?
Speaker 7: And the rest of the world, dozens and dozens of
Speaker 7: countries are rushing to take up nuclear technology, in great
Speaker 7: part because AI will use up so.
Speaker 1: Much power in the future.
Speaker 7: Look, and the other thing that has been left out
Speaker 7: in the debate here is renewables aren't going to cut
Speaker 7: it the entire time. If we don't have nuclear, then
Speaker 7: we're going to be reliant on gas and to a
Speaker 7: less extent coal for a long time to come. I
Speaker 7: think we've been very let down by the lack of
Speaker 7: debate about nuclear. It may not be the answer, but
Speaker 7: it certainly should be on the table, and it should
Speaker 7: have been on the table ten twenty years ago.
Speaker 2: We need a discussion on how we're going to keep
Speaker 2: the lights on in this country because it's it certainly
Speaker 2: not happening under the renewables fantasy.
Speaker 3: I agree.
Speaker 2: Now this is extraordinary, Patrick. Any public sector project over
Speaker 2: ten million dollars in New South Wales now needs to
Speaker 2: undergo a gender impact.
Speaker 3: Assessment before it's a proof of funding.
Speaker 2: The Daily telegraphs reporting that Treasury has imposed gender impact
Speaker 2: assessments on new budget proposals. So cycle paths, bus routes,
Speaker 2: drought initiatives and the mandates are designed to challenge the
Speaker 2: perpetuation of gender norms within policy decisions and highlight how women,
Speaker 2: men or gender diverse people may have different needs from policies.
Speaker 2: I mean, Patrick, America's moving away from DEI and this
Speaker 2: sort of nonsense. Why are we chasing it?
Speaker 3: Here.
Speaker 7: I look, it was interesting, Danika, wasn't it. The sort
Speaker 7: of got implemented very secretly back in October last year,
Speaker 7: obviously because they sort of figured out the wider world
Speaker 7: and the taxpayers would say, what the hell are you doing?
Speaker 1: This is crazy?
Speaker 7: And if you look at some of the retrick that
Speaker 7: you just referred to, it's talking about harmful in the
Speaker 7: norms and linking those to attacks on women in public places.
Speaker 1: Well, that's ideology gone mad.
Speaker 7: Yeah, we've been fighting sexism for decades and decades quite rightly.
Speaker 7: The idea that this is somehow going to help the
Speaker 7: fight is.
Speaker 2: Ridiculous, absolutely, especially when you look to America.
Speaker 3: They're fighting against the DEI.
Speaker 2: Yet here US taxpayers are forking out money for these
Speaker 2: sorts of programs. Please, Patrick Carlin, nice to chat. Thanks
Speaker 2: very much for joining us on the show this evening.
Speaker 3: Well.
Speaker 2: Donald Trump has offered an olive branch of sorts to
Speaker 2: the UK government, praising Kiir Starmer for doing.
Speaker 3: A very good job thus far.
Speaker 2: The US President has even hinted at visiting the UK
Speaker 2: soon after holding a phone call with the Prime Minister.
Speaker 2: I mean, did Trump speak to the right person?
Speaker 3: Joining me now?
Speaker 2: Is gb News host Darren Grimes, Darren, great to see
Speaker 2: you as always, Thanks for joining me. Look, it's all
Speaker 2: very pleasant. It's very diplomatic, isn't it. But you know,
Speaker 2: I wonder how that phone call went down if Kio
Speaker 2: Starmer apologized for his past attacks on Trump and for
Speaker 2: the comments of members of some of his cabinets, some
Speaker 2: of whom called Trump a racist, degenerate.
Speaker 8: Well, indeed, it's good to be with you as ever. Look,
Speaker 8: I think Donald Trump here is just swapping his maga
Speaker 8: hat for a diplomatic one. You know, at that juncture,
Speaker 8: it's probably a top hat, given how gentlemanly he was
Speaker 8: about someone that's been utterly beastly about him. But I
Speaker 8: do draw the line at praising Kiir Starmer. I mean,
Speaker 8: you know, Trump saying something nice about this particular leader
Speaker 8: is really quite astonishing. Indeed, this is a man who
Speaker 8: has trampled over everything Trump holds deer, whether that be
Speaker 8: freedom of expression, national sovereignty, national interest. They chake Os
Speaker 8: Island's military base shared between the British and the US,
Speaker 8: and frankly Diniko as well, national patience. He certainly tested
Speaker 8: that once or twice. It's a bit like Jeremy Corbyn,
Speaker 8: the former Labor leader, hosting a garden party for the
Speaker 8: Royal family. It's just it's odd, it's weird. But look,
Speaker 8: this is plain and simple. This is Trump. This is flattery,
Speaker 8: this is charm. This is the occasional curve ball he
Speaker 8: likes to keep us all on our toes and especially
Speaker 8: the international community. But for Kir, I think you're right
Speaker 8: to ask whether or not he stammered out an apology
Speaker 8: for all of those absolutely colorful comments that he It's
Speaker 8: more colorful than one of those trans flags that he
Speaker 8: and his troops hurled Trump's way over the years. I
Speaker 8: imagine it went a little something like this, Hello, mister President. Yes,
Speaker 8: indeed we did call you a racist degenerate. No hard
Speaker 8: feelings though, okay, and Trump probably just shrugged it off
Speaker 8: right and said you're doing a great job, better than
Speaker 8: sleepy Joe, because you know, whilst Joe Biden was incompetent
Speaker 8: and failing, Keir Starmer is calculated and sinister. And I'll
Speaker 8: just thend by saying, to hit that home, sixty four
Speaker 8: percent of Brits now disapprove of Keir Starmer's government. Right,
Speaker 8: That's the highest on record. It's astonishing stuff.
Speaker 3: Now, it's astonishing, but there you go. You could be
Speaker 3: getting a visit from Donald Trump.
Speaker 2: Maybe you can come over and then clean that UK
Speaker 2: labor government up, Darren, you.
Speaker 3: Can take over I help and take over. Goodness me
Speaker 3: put some more in that place. Now.
Speaker 2: Look, more than fifty relatives of asylum seekers have been
Speaker 2: given permission to come to Britain every day. The number
Speaker 2: of family members of refugees granted visas to settle has
Speaker 2: more than trebled in a year. Darren, Why is this happening?
Speaker 2: I mean there's already a migrant crisis over there. Why
Speaker 2: are the doors wide open now for relatives as well?
Speaker 9: Yeah?
Speaker 8: I mean, look, this is clearly because Britain has endless room. Right,
Speaker 8: We've got endless resource, We've got taxpayer cash to burn.
Speaker 8: I mean, forget the house and crisis, the Cumberland healthcare system.
Speaker 8: We've got the world's most expensive energy bills. But look
Speaker 8: we've decided to roll out the wealth can mat for
Speaker 8: every distant cousin and uncle twice removed of asylum seekers
Speaker 8: that are already here, many of them that have arrived illegally.
Speaker 8: It's nothing short of national suicide, right, especially when you
Speaker 8: look at the bigger picture. Just today we found out
Speaker 8: from the Office of National Statistics that Britain's population is
Speaker 8: actually on track to hit seventy two and a half
Speaker 8: million by twenty thirty one. That's three times what Australia
Speaker 8: currently is, with far less room obviously than Australia as well.
Speaker 8: I mean, migration alone actually adds five million people in
Speaker 8: just seven years. And that's not to mention the number
Speaker 8: of small boat migrants coming over as well, that you
Speaker 8: guys managed to sort out with a little bit of
Speaker 8: national interest and well political will that is sorely lacking
Speaker 8: from all of our lot. Honestly, it wouldn't surprise me
Speaker 8: to find out they're on some kind of hormone replacement
Speaker 8: therapy that they like to talk about so much. Everything
Speaker 8: from birth rates, death rates, it's all irrelevant now because
Speaker 8: Westminster's obsession with mass migration, it's tearing apart the national fabric.
Speaker 8: Just today I've reported on three asylum cases in which
Speaker 8: there have been knife attacks, stabbings, arrests, imprisonment. It's spiraling
Speaker 8: out of control and no one in the country wants it.
Speaker 8: So you know, I can't understand for the life of
Speaker 8: me why it's happening other than this is the political
Speaker 8: class showing how very far removed they are from the
Speaker 8: people that they purport to serve.
Speaker 2: Well, you're right, and it can't go on like this,
Speaker 2: especially with those population statistics that you just listed out.
Speaker 2: I mean, where are you going to house all these
Speaker 2: paper oils? People are under pressure as it is. It's
Speaker 2: just absolutely extraordinary.
Speaker 3: Now, just stopped oil, Just stop oil. Activists there at
Speaker 3: it again.
Speaker 2: This time they have interrupted a west End performance of
Speaker 2: the Tempest in London. The two echo Es ellots climbed
Speaker 2: on stage to one fell an orange banner which said,
Speaker 2: over one point five degrees is a global shipwreck.
Speaker 8: Have a look there, several bonds I wicked in comes.
Speaker 10: My mother breast from something, Darren.
Speaker 3: Honestly, it drives me nuts to say this.
Speaker 2: A few weeks ago, to women spray chalk paint on
Speaker 2: Charles Darwin's grave in Westminster Abbey.
Speaker 3: Now this they're not helping.
Speaker 10: Their cause, are they? Oh?
Speaker 8: Absolutely not. If they were, if they cared one eye
Speaker 8: auta about their cause, they wouldn't be flying about more
Speaker 8: times than the US Armed forces, or indeed, you know,
Speaker 8: they would get themselves over to China, which is burning
Speaker 8: more call than Sourn's mo door. I mean, this is
Speaker 8: absolutely fascical. The West End is so taught walk and captured.
Speaker 8: Though that to be perfectly Frank, I assumed it was
Speaker 8: part of the performance at first. This is about It
Speaker 8: isn't about saving the planet. This is about creating chaos
Speaker 8: for these kinds of activists. This is about control. They
Speaker 8: don't want you to have your one measly holiday every
Speaker 8: single year. They don't want you to have cheap access
Speaker 8: to food and energy costs. They have it all for
Speaker 8: themselves so they can afford to take on the financial burden,
Speaker 8: many of them in comfortable middle class positions. They're not
Speaker 8: equal warriors, ultimately right, They're attention seeking drama queens, which
Speaker 8: is no doubt why the West End was attacked in
Speaker 8: the first place. I mean, the irony about screaming about
Speaker 8: global shipwrecks whilst ruining the performance of a Shakespeare play,
Speaker 8: the very man who had written a few tons about
Speaker 8: shipwrecks himself. It's farcical and Darwin's grave, as you mentioned,
Speaker 8: being attacked with this chalk paint billion idea. These learned
Speaker 8: middle class idiots, these privileged prats. This is a man
Speaker 8: that explained evolution. Well, evolution seems to have stopped pretty
Speaker 8: short for the families that have given birth to Just
Speaker 8: stop oil idiots, news flash, right, you don't further evolution
Speaker 8: and advancement of human ideas by kelln Off energy supply
Speaker 8: and actually showing that you're overgrown toddlers with arts and
Speaker 8: craft supplies that look like something that's been done in
Speaker 8: middle school. It's that they're absurd, and the sooner we
Speaker 8: laugh them all off as we are right now, the
Speaker 8: absolute better.
Speaker 3: Absolutely, I'll just lock them up, get rid of them seriously.
Speaker 2: Just you know, you go to the theater, Darren, to
Speaker 2: watch a play, not to be interrupted by absolute lunatics.
Speaker 3: It really drives me nuts.
Speaker 2: Now, look, I have to ask you about the Ginger
Speaker 2: and the winda our favorite toothsome Harry and Megan, and
Speaker 2: what a shocking few weeks they've had. Not only were
Speaker 2: their lives laid bearing that damning Vanity Fair outicle that
Speaker 2: were called out for posing in pictures during the bushfire
Speaker 2: crisis in La. Her Netflix series was delayed, and now
Speaker 2: Darren her podcast. The podcast is said to be delayed
Speaker 2: as well. Bumma, I was looking forward to that one
Speaker 2: as I'm sure you were too, Darren.
Speaker 8: Oh, look I've taken the time off work already.
Speaker 10: I'm absolutely good at them beside myself.
Speaker 8: Look, I've been counting down the days until Beggar blessed
Speaker 8: us with those dulcet tones of hers talking about how
Speaker 8: hard life is for a jam making millionaire duchess in Montecito.
Speaker 3: Look, it's been it's been a rough few weeks for
Speaker 3: the judger to.
Speaker 10: Be fair though, hasn't it right?
Speaker 8: The vanity fair spread laid them bare? The Netflix series
Speaker 8: is in limbo. Prince Harry accepted an undisclosed settlement sum
Speaker 8: in his apparent crusade against the press for privacy. And now,
Speaker 8: of course Megan's podcast been delayed.
Speaker 3: Ough, whoa me?
Speaker 8: I can't bear it. We need to start a goalfund
Speaker 8: me of something. Honestly, it's probably because right she's running
Speaker 8: out of people to throw under the bus that this
Speaker 8: podcast has been delayed because it's so painfully boring that
Speaker 8: they don't know what to put in it. It's a
Speaker 8: limited series when your entire personality is based around victimhood
Speaker 8: and victim narratives. And now, of course we've got the
Speaker 8: former UK Home Secretary Sowella Bratherman, and she's thrown a
Speaker 8: spanner in the works, hasn't she by calling on President
Speaker 8: Trump to release some very important documents.
Speaker 3: Yes, well, actually we have that.
Speaker 2: So of course he was allowed entry to the US
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty despite having admitted in spare to taking cocaine,
Speaker 2: marijuana and psychedelic mushrooms.
Speaker 3: And you're right, this is what Suella Breverman had to say.
Speaker 11: He listen, I think there's a very strong case for
Speaker 11: President Trump to intervene and to direct the release and
Speaker 11: disclosure of these documents. The American people should have the
Speaker 11: right to know what's happened here, Darren.
Speaker 2: So she wants this to be investigated. Do you think
Speaker 2: he actually will be deported because.
Speaker 8: Back in the UK, well, I mean luck, she's calling
Speaker 8: on Trump to actually release those visa records, and if
Speaker 8: they are released, well, according to his memoir, they will
Speaker 8: indeed find evidence of an admission of drug use, which
Speaker 8: would have, as you mentioned, Baim from entering the United States.
Speaker 8: I mean, Harry banned from America. It's enough to make
Speaker 8: you shuld have because I've got the perfect plan for him.
Speaker 8: Though a decoy, he wouldn't be welcome here. So maybe
Speaker 8: you know, we'll ban him his entry or something like that.
Speaker 8: But if he gets himself into the English channel in
Speaker 8: a rubber dinghy, we'll probably put him up in a
Speaker 8: luxury hotel if he claims asylum, and we'll say to him,
Speaker 8: we'll give you bed board and benefits right up his streets.
Speaker 8: Sometimes they're five star hotels, Danika, and he can complain
Speaker 8: about his family and let the British taxpayer pick up
Speaker 8: the tab. This is the perfect solution for this privileged prince.
Speaker 3: I wonder how he would cope, Darren, But you're right.
Speaker 2: I mean the UK labor's doing it to every single
Speaker 2: other person that enters the country, then Prince Hurry is
Speaker 2: no exception. Oh, Darren Grimes, love having a chat with you.
Speaker 2: Thank you very much for joining me on the show
Speaker 2: this evening.
Speaker 3: My pleasure.
Speaker 8: Thank you very much.
Speaker 2: Still to calm everyone's favorite segment, Left He's Losing It, Plus.
Speaker 3: Donald Trump's who Press secretary delivers.
Speaker 2: A takedown on the liberal media, Bartia Unger Sagan joins
Speaker 2: me with the details.
Speaker 3: Now it's time for Left. He's losing It.
Speaker 2: Starting with Hollywood has been Glenn close sounding the doomsday
Speaker 2: alarm about Trump's America.
Speaker 12: I'm a big reader of history, and you know, I
Speaker 12: mean unfortunately, I think not enough people in this country.
Speaker 12: I'm just the history and what we've just gotten ourselves
Speaker 12: into that's very dangerous.
Speaker 2: Well, it's about as dangerous as this next video. Has
Speaker 2: anyone done a welfare check on old Glenn?
Speaker 5: The sun comes up, the sun goes down in my
Speaker 5: hair is a symphony all its own. It's so beautiful
Speaker 5: it takes my breath away.
Speaker 2: She's come a long way from her fatal attraction days,
Speaker 2: hasn't she? And those days have taken a toll clearly.
Speaker 2: Now the question has to be asked, why is Hollywood
Speaker 2: so woke? Well, let's ask actor Anthony Mackie what Captain
Speaker 2: America represents for him.
Speaker 13: For me, Captain America represents a lot of different things,
Speaker 13: and I don't think the term, you know, America should
Speaker 13: be one of those representations.
Speaker 1: Like it's about.
Speaker 14: A man who keeps his word, who as honored dignity
Speaker 14: and integrity, someone who is trustworthy and dependable.
Speaker 2: Yes, so Captain America doesn't think Captain America represents America.
Speaker 2: Quite a tongue tie there, And speaking of fatal attraction.
Speaker 4: Can someone tell me what maga men find attractive so
Speaker 4: that I can wear the complete opposite.
Speaker 1: Thanks?
Speaker 3: Oh look out all you maga men.
Speaker 2: Don't make yourselves look too good or else. Now to
Speaker 2: Donald Trump's executive order on banning trans people from the military,
Speaker 2: and it's got this trans democrat in it is.
Speaker 15: The military is the largest employer of transgender Americans. You
Speaker 15: heard up to fourteen fifteen thousand members identify as trans,
Speaker 15: and fifty six of our retired generals have said that
Speaker 15: our trans members are.
Speaker 5: Ready to serve, they are fit to serve.
Speaker 3: This will only make our military very.
Speaker 15: Less ready to serve by taking fifteen thousand people who
Speaker 15: volunteered out of service.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I wonder if China is thinking about preparing its military
Speaker 2: for battle with trans people, because I'm sure a diverse
Speaker 2: military is.
Speaker 3: Up front of mind for Beijing.
Speaker 2: Now, a quick public service announcement from the folks down
Speaker 2: in Mexico.
Speaker 3: And let me make something absolutely clear, unless there wasn't.
Speaker 5: Already, if you got it for Trump, you are not
Speaker 5: allowed in Mexico.
Speaker 6: You are not allowed at Gawos, Cancun, Perto Wayerta Auas Caliendez,
Speaker 6: none of that.
Speaker 3: Guess what baby, that's all in Mexico. You don't like us,
Speaker 3: we don't like you.
Speaker 5: Don't go there staying your country.
Speaker 3: Figure it out?
Speaker 2: And who wants to tell her that the difference between
Speaker 2: Americans going to Mexico on a vakatzionair not to stay
Speaker 2: there illegally and overwhelm their systems. Now to the bitter
Speaker 2: Banshee's over at the view and the dim witted Sunny
Speaker 2: Austin as always who has offered her unusual and crazy
Speaker 2: use and this time on Trump's deportations.
Speaker 9: The Europeans that come here that oversteer their visas are undocumented,
Speaker 9: but they don't come across the southern border.
Speaker 3: So I think there's a very clear message.
Speaker 9: As to what this president wants the look of a
Speaker 9: criminal migrant to look like what an undocumented migrant. And
Speaker 9: I think that's racist.
Speaker 2: Yes, okay, it's racist because he isn't targeting Europeans.
Speaker 3: Does she listen to herself?
Speaker 2: And this is where Sunny probably should have stopped, But no, no, no,
Speaker 2: she continued with the mumbo jumbo, claiming living in the
Speaker 2: country illegally isn't a crime.
Speaker 9: An undocumented immigrant is not a criminal because he or
Speaker 9: she is undocumented.
Speaker 10: That is a civil offense.
Speaker 9: So to call people illegal is in and of itself,
Speaker 9: I think xenophobic and racist.
Speaker 2: And this is where her IQ, the low IQ shows,
Speaker 2: because you actually have to legally enter a country.
Speaker 3: I don't know why. It's just so hard for these
Speaker 3: loans to understand.
Speaker 2: Now to the backlash over Selena Gomez as Britney Spears
Speaker 2: esque meltdown over deportations, and guess who you could always
Speaker 2: count on for support, Yes, it's sacked CNN anchor Don Lemon.
Speaker 5: So.
Speaker 16: Now we live in a time where Selena Gomez, even
Speaker 16: though she is, you know, a wealthy star, she can't
Speaker 16: have an opinion. She can't post online how she feels
Speaker 16: about deportations and immigration without being made funner by.
Speaker 14: The far raid or the maga folks. And just like
Speaker 14: everybody else, just like you folks who are criticizing her,
Speaker 14: she can state her feelings online on social media, just
Speaker 14: like you are.
Speaker 2: Poor Donnie trying desperately to seek relevance, and I know
Speaker 2: just the fix ppleics keep them coming. It brings tears
Speaker 2: to my eyes as well.
Speaker 3: Now to the ice truck which has got the lefties panicked.
Speaker 13: Patrol.
Speaker 10: That is so much.
Speaker 2: Just like mister Whippy, these lefties will believe anything, including
Speaker 2: this conspiracy that Ice is disguising their trucks as ice
Speaker 2: cream patrol and playing.
Speaker 3: Music to lure undocumented immigrants. Queue the panic, Cue the warnings.
Speaker 1: What's going on? Guys? Quick little message for all all
Speaker 1: the Latinos out there. I'm just gonna see keep you
Speaker 1: keep your eyes open, pay attention.
Speaker 3: Eyes open.
Speaker 2: Well, in reality, it was, after all, just your average
Speaker 2: run of the mill Las Vegas ice cream truck.
Speaker 3: Well done, gullible lefties joining me now?
Speaker 2: Is Newsweek opinion editor Bartia Unger Sagan Bartier.
Speaker 3: Good to see you. Thank you very much for joining
Speaker 3: me this evening.
Speaker 2: Let's start with illegal crossings, because there were less than
Speaker 2: six hundred recorded at the southern border on Sunday, a
Speaker 2: dramatic plummet from the thousands regularly encountered at the height
Speaker 2: of the Biden administration's border crisis.
Speaker 3: Bartia, how significant is this?
Speaker 2: As I said, at its peak, more than six thousand
Speaker 2: people were sometimes encountered at the Southern border. How big
Speaker 2: of a testament is this to Donald Trump?
Speaker 5: Thank you so much for having me. It's always so
Speaker 5: great to be here with you. This is a huge deal.
Speaker 5: This is why Donald Trump was elected. This is his mandate.
Speaker 5: This was the immigration election because for working class people,
Speaker 5: who are the people who gave Donald Trump his victory,
Speaker 5: immigration is an economic proposition. When you flood the country
Speaker 5: and you flood the market place with millions and millions
Speaker 5: and millions of illegal immigrants, those people end up competing
Speaker 5: for jobs with Americans and driving down the wages in
Speaker 5: working class industries. Step one to getting working class people
Speaker 5: higher wages is controlling the supply of labor. And that
Speaker 5: is really what Donald Trump is doing. Promises made, promises kept.
Speaker 5: It's clear that the cartels who traffic these humans into
Speaker 5: America know that there is a new sheriff in town
Speaker 5: and that he's very very serious about what he's doing,
Speaker 5: and he's taken on a multi pronged approach. They've started
Speaker 5: the mass deportations of people here illegally, including many criminals.
Speaker 5: He has also empowered ICE agents to actually do their
Speaker 5: jobs protecting the homeland. And then he has empowered the
Speaker 5: Border Patrol by designating these cartels as terrorist groups. And
Speaker 5: so in all of these ways, Donald Trump is not
Speaker 5: supporting the American people, not just doing what the American
Speaker 5: people sent him to do. But he's supporting the working
Speaker 5: class men and women and going out there and doing
Speaker 5: these very difficult and very dangerous jobs. And let me
Speaker 5: tell you, Deniga, this is really unifying. You have the
Speaker 5: mainstream media out there wailing about the rights of these people. Well,
Speaker 5: first of all, illegal immigrants do not have constitutional rights.
Speaker 5: You have people like Selena Gomez weeping about the removal
Speaker 5: of murderers and rapists from this country. But you take
Speaker 5: those elites out of it, and Americans are breathing a
Speaker 5: sigh of relief. And that's whether they're Democrats or Republicans.
Speaker 5: This is a very unifying issue. And if the Democrats
Speaker 5: don't figure out how to talk about immigration in a
Speaker 5: way that is respectful to the American people, it's going
Speaker 5: to be very hard for them to come back from this.
Speaker 2: Absolutely, and this was a kay election mandit, as we know,
Speaker 2: and Donald Trump is delivering already a week in office.
Speaker 3: I think it's from afar.
Speaker 2: It is wonderful to see a leader who is just
Speaker 2: getting down to business.
Speaker 3: It's terrific.
Speaker 2: Now let's talk about the new Press Secretary, Caroline Leavitt,
Speaker 2: who really appeared to nail her.
Speaker 3: First performance at her first press conference.
Speaker 5: Have a look at peace the thirty five hundred arrests
Speaker 5: aces meve so far since President Trump came back into office.
Speaker 17: Can you just tell us the numbers how many have
Speaker 17: a criminal record versus those who are just in the
Speaker 17: country illegally, all of them because they illegally broke our
Speaker 17: nation's laws and therefore they are criminals as far as
Speaker 17: this administration goes.
Speaker 3: I know the last administration didn't see it that way.
Speaker 17: So it's a big culture shift in our nation to
Speaker 17: view someone who breaks our immigration laws as a criminal.
Speaker 3: But that's exactly what they are.
Speaker 2: But yeah, what a star. She was prepared, She was
Speaker 2: ready to go. Is this a taste of what press
Speaker 2: briefings will be like from now on? No nonsense and
Speaker 2: straight to the point.
Speaker 5: Yes, absolutely. And I think the pride with which she
Speaker 5: delivered the administration's position to a room full of aggressive
Speaker 5: journalists who are, you know, clutching their pearls at this
Speaker 5: This is what you're going to see again and again
Speaker 5: from the administration. I think in his first term, Donald
Speaker 5: Trump really struggled to understand how to speak to the
Speaker 5: American people when you had the media in the way,
Speaker 5: lying about him constantly putting their values ahead of those
Speaker 5: of the American people, and not so this time around.
Speaker 5: He has figured it out. He has come in like
Speaker 5: an assassin. He knows exactly what to do, exactly the
Speaker 5: right people for the job are to get it done.
Speaker 5: You look at Tom Homan, he's just like Caroline Levitt,
Speaker 5: a happy warrior out there, proud of the job that
Speaker 5: he has been given to do to protect the homeland
Speaker 5: and protect the American people. And I don't know if
Speaker 5: you were following this, but over the weekend, the president
Speaker 5: of Columbia refused to allow the repatriation of a plane
Speaker 5: full of column criminals who Donald Trump was sending home.
Speaker 5: And immediately Trump, who was by the way golfing at
Speaker 5: the time, hopped on truth Social and said, that's it, sanctions, tariffs,
Speaker 5: We're not putting up with this, And within forty five minutes,
Speaker 5: the president of Colombia was offering his presidential plane to
Speaker 5: bring those criminals home to Columbia. We are not messing
Speaker 5: around anymore.
Speaker 3: And as an.
Speaker 5: American, I can't tell you how amazing it feels to
Speaker 5: have a president who is doing exactly what we elected
Speaker 5: him to do. This is what democracy looks like and
Speaker 5: all those lefties were trying to convince us he was
Speaker 5: a threat to democracy. It is the exact opposite. We
Speaker 5: are getting what we voted for. And it feels amazing.
Speaker 3: Oh, I must have. I'm quite jealous.
Speaker 2: It's just not to say that there is a good
Speaker 2: lead in this world. And I think you write such
Speaker 2: a good point. He's got credible team around him. He's
Speaker 2: just picked the right paper for the job. And I
Speaker 2: think it's a testament to his strong businessman assets.
Speaker 3: So I think it's absolutely terrific to see.
Speaker 2: Now, Bartia, we finally have an update on those mysterious
Speaker 2: drones which had been flying around New Jersey.
Speaker 10: Here we go.
Speaker 17: I do have news directly from the President of the
Speaker 17: United States that was just shared with me in the
Speaker 17: Oval Office from President Trump directly an update on the
Speaker 17: New Jersey drones. After research and study, the drones that
Speaker 17: were flying over New Jersey in large numbers were authorized
Speaker 17: to be flown by the FAA for research and various
Speaker 17: other reasons. Many of these drones were also hobbyists, recreational
Speaker 17: in private individuals that enjoy flying jones in meantime. In time,
Speaker 17: it got worse due to curiosity. This was not the enemy, Bartier.
Speaker 2: At least we know that they weren't foreign, But does
Speaker 2: it still raise questions? Is this for It feels like
Speaker 2: the mystery is almost deepened.
Speaker 5: It's amazing because I remember the moment that I knew
Speaker 5: that this was not a danger. It was because Donald Trump,
Speaker 5: at the time, not the president, just a you know,
Speaker 5: a person running for president, got up there and said,
Speaker 5: you know that he basically did not think it was
Speaker 5: a foreign threat, and it was clear that he had
Speaker 5: been briefed.
Speaker 13: You know.
Speaker 5: I think most of these were planes, and a lot
Speaker 5: of the footage it looks like drones, but if you
Speaker 5: look at it a little bit longer, you can tell
Speaker 5: that they're actually planes. So I do think there was
Speaker 5: a bit of a sort of moral panic here. But
Speaker 5: certainly people just feel a lot safer in general knowing
Speaker 5: that Donald Trump is in charge, and so I think
Speaker 5: people's sort of willingness to feel like we're under threat
Speaker 5: is a little bit lower now because things seem a
Speaker 5: little bit calmer overall globally thanks to the leadership here
Speaker 5: at home.
Speaker 2: Yeah, fair enough, absolutely, though I think, god the mystery
Speaker 2: still deepens.
Speaker 3: We still want to know what the research is now.
Speaker 2: It is all over for lefty and anchored Jim Acosta,
Speaker 2: who was announced he is leaving the network.
Speaker 3: Have a listen.
Speaker 18: It's never a good time to bow down to a tyrant.
Speaker 18: I've always believed it's the job of the press to
Speaker 18: hold power to account. I've always tried to do that
Speaker 18: here at CNN, and I plan on going doing all
Speaker 18: of that in the future. One final message, don't give
Speaker 18: into the lies, don't give into the fear.
Speaker 1: Hold on to the truth and a hope.
Speaker 3: Gosh, what a loser. Good riddance.
Speaker 2: And here is one of his best moments from the
Speaker 2: archives just last week.
Speaker 18: This is not Fox, Congressman.
Speaker 3: You can't just spin a tail and pull the wool out.
Speaker 18: Of people's eyes.
Speaker 1: This is CNN, this is the news.
Speaker 5: We're asking that out and.
Speaker 1: Tell the truth.
Speaker 3: And that's why more people are watching the cartoon network.
Speaker 5: SpongeBob reruns right now.
Speaker 1: Jim.
Speaker 3: And here he was being shut down by Donald Trump.
Speaker 19: Since you're attacking us, can you give us a question,
Speaker 19: mister prison elect present elect. Since you are attacking our
Speaker 19: news organization, can you give us a zation? You are
Speaker 19: attacking our news organization, and you give us a chance
Speaker 19: to ask a question, Sir, sir, can you stay mist
Speaker 19: President elect? Go ahead, you say question.
Speaker 10: No President like, can you give us a don't be
Speaker 10: remaining us?
Speaker 5: Can you give us a question?
Speaker 1: Don't be any question?
Speaker 3: And you're not going to give you can stay?
Speaker 5: Are fake news?
Speaker 3: Bye bye?
Speaker 2: Jim Batiyah is the fight News finally patering a out.
Speaker 5: It's so amazing watching that clip now, because at the time,
Speaker 5: of course, the atmosphere in the country was very different.
Speaker 5: The media had a lot more power and a lot
Speaker 5: more of a lock on how information was distributed. And
Speaker 5: we know that when it comes to the mainstream liberal media.
Speaker 5: Actually the mainstream media overall in America about ninety six
Speaker 5: percent of journalists our Democrats are liberals, are progressives, They're
Speaker 5: from the left. And so they had this lock on
Speaker 5: the dissemination of information. And they were constantly portraying Donald
Speaker 5: Trump as a white supremacist and a white nationalist and
Speaker 5: a racist and a totally evil, completely dastardly character, and
Speaker 5: many Americans believed it. And now what's ended up happening
Speaker 5: is ten years later, eight years later, you have really
Speaker 5: a big difference in how Donald Trump is perceived. Millions
Speaker 5: and millions of Americans realized that they were being lied
Speaker 5: to by the mainstream media, that Donald Trump actually had
Speaker 5: their best interests at heart and actually agreed with them
Speaker 5: on the vast majority of the issues, so much so
Speaker 5: that he was able to run this unity consensus campaign
Speaker 5: and flood to victory through, you know, winning the popular vote.
Speaker 5: So that whole situation of how Trump was lied about
Speaker 5: so successfully in the first time around, and then he
Speaker 5: ended up being the proof of concept of how evil
Speaker 5: the media is, how much they lie, how big the
Speaker 5: gap is between where the media is and where the
Speaker 5: American people are, to where people just stopped paying attention
Speaker 5: and stopped listening and voted for the man that they
Speaker 5: thought would have their best interests at heart, and just
Speaker 5: circumvented the media altogether. Now, I think what we're going
Speaker 5: to see here is CNN is clearly trying to regroup,
Speaker 5: and what they're trying to do now is get back
Speaker 5: to the center, is to reflect the truth rather than
Speaker 5: the Democrats party line the way that they've been doing
Speaker 5: for the last ten twenty years. And it'll be very
Speaker 5: interesting to see if they succeed in doing so. One
Speaker 5: thing is certain, Danika, is these people are completelyffeckless and craven.
Speaker 5: They don't have an original thought in their head. The
Speaker 5: mainstream media in America, they're herd animals, and so they
Speaker 5: just follow each other. So I think the fact that
Speaker 5: CNN is getting rid of some of this very left
Speaker 5: leaning pro Democrat talent signals that there is going to
Speaker 5: be a shift as the media tries to become profitable again.
Speaker 5: I do think it's a little too late for them.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I completely agrede too little too late for sure.
Speaker 2: Now dozens of top former intelligence officials are urging members
Speaker 2: of the Senate to confirm Donald Trump's nominee for Director
Speaker 2: of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard. It comes as she faces
Speaker 2: scrutiny from some senators have been quite critical of her
Speaker 2: intelligence expertise. Bartia, Why is she under a lot of
Speaker 2: pressure here? Because I note that she's a military officer,
Speaker 2: She's got more than twenty years of service and multiple
Speaker 2: combat deployments.
Speaker 3: Do you think that she will get this role?
Speaker 5: It's going to be tight, And the reason for that
Speaker 5: is because Tulsi Gabbard represents a threat to the worst
Speaker 5: parts of the entrenched deep state. Taulsi Gabbard is a
Speaker 5: woman who has said that her core belief when it
Speaker 5: comes to foreign policy is when it comes to fighting terrorism,
Speaker 5: she is a hawk, and when it comes to counterproductive
Speaker 5: wars of regime chi she is a dove. This is
Speaker 5: the America First foreign policy. And of course the Forever
Speaker 5: War's crew, which runs very deep in the Deep State,
Speaker 5: absolutely hate this idea that there would be wars that
Speaker 5: are none of our business that we should absolutely not
Speaker 5: be engaged in, or on the flip side, that we
Speaker 5: should have a zero tolerance policy for terrorism. They like
Speaker 5: it the opposite. They love to negotiate with terrorists, and
Speaker 5: they love to get involved in all sorts of wars
Speaker 5: that have nothing to do with us and turn people
Speaker 5: who are not our enemies into our enemies. The other
Speaker 5: thing that Tulsey Gabbert has been very vocal about is
Speaker 5: Paiza warrens amazingly she doesn't believe that the government should
Speaker 5: be spying on United States citizens. Well, this is a
Speaker 5: step too far for many of our elected officials, and honestly,
Speaker 5: her best asset may be the thing that ultimately sinks
Speaker 5: her in this race. I really hope she gets confirmed.
Speaker 5: She's a brilliant woman, a patriot, a hero, a veteran.
Speaker 5: I mean, what could you want more? She's great looking.
Speaker 3: I mean, you know, she's like everybody else.
Speaker 5: In Dinald Trump's cabinet, brings so much to the table.
Speaker 5: And the very things that are her greatest strengths are
Speaker 5: the reasons that they don't want to confirm her.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and also she clearly loves America. It's just extraordinary
Speaker 2: that this has been delayed so much. Now, let's talk
Speaker 2: about the situation in the Middle East. Nama Levy, one
Speaker 2: of the four female IDF soldiers released from her Musk
Speaker 2: captivity at the weekend, has spoken for the first time, saying,
Speaker 2: after four hundred and seventy seven days, I'm finally home.
Speaker 2: I'm safe and protected, surrounded by a family and friends,
Speaker 2: and feel better every day. During the first fifty days
Speaker 2: since October seven, I was most of the time alone.
Speaker 2: After that, I was captive with my fellow observers and
Speaker 2: citizens who gave me strength and hope. We held each
Speaker 2: other strong until the day of release and after it.
Speaker 2: But yeah, you know, one can't even imagine what she
Speaker 2: and the other hostages have gone through.
Speaker 3: I think it's a reminder this is not Ava.
Speaker 2: There are still hostages being held captive, and we still
Speaker 2: don't know how many are alive or date.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Absolutely, thank god these girls are starting to come home.
Speaker 5: I think it was extremely important to get them home. Honestly,
Speaker 5: when the enemy has your women, I don't think there
Speaker 5: is too high a price to get them back. I
Speaker 5: know most Israelis don't feel that way. They feel very
Speaker 5: worried about the terrorists who are being released from prison.
Speaker 5: I was speaking to somebody who was very close with
Speaker 5: a judge in the West Bank who put a lot
Speaker 5: of these guys in prison, and to see them coming out,
Speaker 5: it's very difficult to see. But honestly, Israel needs to
Speaker 5: figure out how to police these terrorists and how to
Speaker 5: protect its citizens. Getting those hostages out is unbelievably, unbelievably important.
Speaker 5: And I don't think anyone has to worry that Donald
Speaker 5: Trump is going to allow Israel to end up in
Speaker 5: a worse situation than before he assumed office. We've never
Speaker 5: had a president who is so pro Israel. I think
Speaker 5: that he's playing the long game. I think he has
Speaker 5: his sights set on normalization with the Saudis, and I
Speaker 5: think that that's the lens through which Donald Trump is
Speaker 5: proceeding here. He wants peace in the Middle East. He
Speaker 5: wants an economic normalization deal with the Saudis for America,
Speaker 5: and he wants one for Israel. And that is going
Speaker 5: to take some really creative thinking about how to rescue
Speaker 5: not just the hostages, but the citizens of Gaza from
Speaker 5: the Hamas terrorists and barbarians who oppress them as much
Speaker 5: as they do.
Speaker 3: The israelis no your spot on absolutely.
Speaker 2: And it was interesting, Bartia, because President Trump has actually
Speaker 2: invited the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Nenyahu to visit the
Speaker 2: White House next week and become the first foreign leader
Speaker 2: hosted by the President.
Speaker 3: Bartia, How significant is this?
Speaker 2: The Israeli Prime Minister, I've got to say, has all
Speaker 2: but been abandoned by Western allies at a critical time
Speaker 2: of need. Why do you think that Trump is taking
Speaker 2: the time to get him now over to the United States.
Speaker 5: I think he is buttering him up to make a
Speaker 5: very difficult ask, maybe something about Palestinian statehood. Trump has
Speaker 5: a lot of leverage when it comes to Israel because
Speaker 5: he has been such a friend of Israel, and there
Speaker 5: are things he wants in return, things that may be
Speaker 5: difficult for bebing a tan Yahoo to give him, and
Speaker 5: I think that's a great thing. I mean, you know,
Speaker 5: sometimes your friends need you to give you the tough love,
Speaker 5: and there's nobody on this planet who can give Israel
Speaker 5: that like Donald Trump can. I think he's thinking really big.
Speaker 5: His first term, he got the Abraham Accords done, which
Speaker 5: if that hadn't happened, God forbid, I cannot even imagine
Speaker 5: what the last two years would have been like for Israel.
Speaker 5: There's no way they could have waged the war that
Speaker 5: they just did against MS if they did not have
Speaker 5: the backing implicit, albeit from the moderate Sunni Gulf states,
Speaker 5: And so you really have a different Middle East forming
Speaker 5: here very much under the guidance of Donald Trump, and
Speaker 5: I'm very interested to see what he has planned next.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Absolutely, and I'll be interested to see if that meeting
Speaker 2: goes ahead.
Speaker 3: Now, before we let you go, I've got to ask.
Speaker 2: You about the transgender issue in the military. Six trans
Speaker 2: members are now suing Donald Trump over that executive order
Speaker 2: banning trans people from serving a Trump of course, signed
Speaker 2: the order, claiming transgender people sexuality conflicts with a soldier's
Speaker 2: commitment to an honorable, truthful, and disciplined lifestyle Bart. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I've got to say, I don't think that Trump will
Speaker 2: do anything, nor would he be worried about these six
Speaker 2: personnels suing him.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 5: I don't think so either. The thing that your viewers
Speaker 5: have to understand is that what Trump is doing is
Speaker 5: dividing the LGB from the t QIA plus whatever whatever.
Speaker 5: Trump is unbelievably pro gay. In fact, he has just
Speaker 5: appointed the highest ranking out proud gay person in American history,
Speaker 5: Scott Bessent to the Secretary of Treasury. Scott is married
Speaker 5: to his husband. They have beautiful children that they're raising
Speaker 5: in a beautiful home. Trump is very pro gay, but
Speaker 5: he does not believe that the trans agenda should be
Speaker 5: something that is seen as on a par with the
Speaker 5: gay agenda. I think he very much sees the transgender
Speaker 5: issue in a very different way. Many people, I think
Speaker 5: today are starting to see transgenderism as something akin to
Speaker 5: a mental illness rather than akin to being gay. And
Speaker 5: I think that the position that the administration is taking
Speaker 5: is that there are two genders. That is the view
Speaker 5: of the United States right now under this government, and
Speaker 5: that there is a difference between saying we believe that
Speaker 5: every person should be treated with dignity and protected from
Speaker 5: discrimination and saying that we endorse this as a worldview
Speaker 5: that we think should be spreading.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're absolutely spot on them.
Speaker 2: But look good on him, as we said, Bati, Yeah,
Speaker 2: that he's taken control from the begin Bartia Unga Sagan,
Speaker 2: It's always a pleasure to.
Speaker 3: Speak with you. Thanks so much for your time this evening.
Speaker 3: Thank you so much. Snika Godez coming up.
Speaker 2: The Melbourne man forced to leave a venue all because
Speaker 2: he wore a Maga hat joins me to explain what
Speaker 2: happens next. A popular Melbourne venue has come under fire
Speaker 2: after it threatened to kick out a regular patron if
Speaker 2: he refused to take off his red Donald Trump Maga
Speaker 2: cap and not says he was told by management at
Speaker 2: the Captain Baxter that he was inciting political trouble.
Speaker 3: Would you believe?
Speaker 2: And I'm pleased to say, and not adjoins me now
Speaker 2: and look, first off the bat, I've.
Speaker 3: Got to say power to you. You're still rocking your
Speaker 3: Maga hat today.
Speaker 1: I am.
Speaker 13: I'm very happily wearing it. I've got so many of
Speaker 13: them so they're not going to be going away for
Speaker 13: any time soon.
Speaker 3: No, good on you.
Speaker 2: Where with pride do whatever you feel you need to do.
Speaker 2: I've got to ask you, how do you feel now
Speaker 2: a few days after this happened, about being told that
Speaker 2: you were inciting political trouble because of that hat?
Speaker 13: Still embarrassed. It's far from the truth. I was definitely
Speaker 13: not there to incite any political trouble. I've worn the
Speaker 13: hat there four times in a row. There's more of
Speaker 13: a chance of me inciting trouble wearing my cart and
Speaker 13: football club hat in a Collingwood Cheeres squad. So to
Speaker 13: be told that I was going to incite trouble at
Speaker 13: a pub is just ridiculous.
Speaker 2: And I've got to ask me, what if you were
Speaker 2: wearing a hat that said Kamala Harris or Free Palestine,
Speaker 2: for example, do you think that the same rules would
Speaker 2: apply there?
Speaker 13: I think I would have been given a round of drinks.
Speaker 13: But if anyone's got a Biden or a Kamala hat,
Speaker 13: I'm more than happy to wear it for about half
Speaker 13: an hour and try myself back at the same venue
Speaker 13: again and see what happens. But I can pretty much
Speaker 13: say it did have that vibe where if I was
Speaker 13: wearing that hat, nothing would have been raised at all.
Speaker 2: What does it say do you think about the state
Speaker 2: we're in society right now that that hat would cause
Speaker 2: so much fewer or what does it say about where
Speaker 2: we're at in Australia.
Speaker 13: I'm actually concerning because I've been wearing this hat for
Speaker 13: the last eight months. No one's actually said anything at
Speaker 13: all the whole time I've been wearing it. I am
Speaker 13: a Donald Trump supporter as well, so I wear it proudly.
Speaker 13: But in the last two three days it's been I've
Speaker 13: been in a lot more attention and a lot of
Speaker 13: it is positive, which is good, but it just makes
Speaker 13: you wonder when is things going to start leveling up.
Speaker 13: We're quite exhausted, sort of bounding down to a minority
Speaker 13: at the moment, and I think things just need to
Speaker 13: change slightly a bit better.
Speaker 3: I agree.
Speaker 2: I think if Donald Trump's taught us anything in the
Speaker 2: last week is that these sorts of conversations are no
Speaker 2: longer controversial. You don't have to be hide away from
Speaker 2: being a Donald Trump supporter. Do you think that you
Speaker 2: were discriminated against?
Speaker 13: I was definitely embarrassed in terms of discrimination. That well,
Speaker 13: that's something I'm seeking advising because it was just very
Speaker 13: surprising that it's a venue I go to very often.
Speaker 13: I'm known thereby by staff and security. And as I said,
Speaker 13: I've worn the hat there four weekends in a row
Speaker 13: and nothing was ever mentioned. And then all of a sudden,
Speaker 13: on Sunday, it was brought up to me that I
Speaker 13: had to leave if I didn't take the hat off.
Speaker 13: And I did take the hat off and carried on
Speaker 13: with the day, but it left a really awkward taste
Speaker 13: in my mouth. And then it was the next morning
Speaker 13: I realized I should make a complaint because when I
Speaker 13: did say I'll be taking this further, I was patronized
Speaker 13: by the venue manager that said, look, do what you want.
Speaker 13: It's going to fall on deaf ye's So nothing's going
Speaker 13: to happen even if you didn't make a complaint.
Speaker 3: So we are now this week unbelievable.
Speaker 2: Well, you're you're a proud Donald Trump supporter, and as
Speaker 2: I said, it's really great to see that you're still
Speaker 2: rocking that hat.
Speaker 3: You're staying true to yourself as you should be.
Speaker 2: It shouldn't be you shouldn't be embarrassed to wear a
Speaker 2: MAGA hat. For goodness, say it's twenty twenty five. I
Speaker 2: think people need to loosen up. The world needs to
Speaker 2: loosen up, and I'm sure you would agree. There ed
Speaker 2: not nice to speak with you. Thanks for joining us
Speaker 2: on the show this evening. Really appreciate it.
Speaker 3: Well that's it from me. Up next is Newsnight. Good night,
