1
00:00:02,800 --> 00:00:04,479
Speaker 1: On Scolds Australia.

2
00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:07,200
Speaker 2: This is the Window Panalty Show.

3
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:12,600
Speaker 3: Good evening and welcome to the readA Panety Show. Coming

4
00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:18,239
Speaker 3: up tonight. Communications Minister Anika Wells under pressure after revelations

5
00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:21,400
Speaker 3: she's spent over one hundred thousand dollars on a frivolous

6
00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:24,880
Speaker 3: three day trip to New York City. Daniel Wilde will

7
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:28,600
Speaker 3: cover that and the day's other top headlines. Donald Trump

8
00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:34,280
Speaker 3: initiates a permanent pause on Third World migration. Mi Horowitz

9
00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:38,280
Speaker 3: will join me to discuss that never before seen videos

10
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:42,640
Speaker 3: and images from Jeffrey Epstein's private island are released. I'll

11
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:46,479
Speaker 3: get c. J. Pearson's reaction to that, and the reviews

12
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:50,640
Speaker 3: are in for Megan Markle's holiday special and they're not good.

13
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:54,640
Speaker 3: Kinsey Schofield would join me for the latest entertainment news

14
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:59,279
Speaker 3: and Left is Losing It features these rational ladies from

15
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 3: the left heartland of Portland. But first hundreds of farmers

16
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:14,559
Speaker 3: have blocked the Victorian government from accessing land it plans

17
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:17,840
Speaker 3: to use for a renewable energy project. The V and

18
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:21,520
Speaker 3: I West Transmission Line is designed to move renewable energy

19
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 3: from regional areas to population centers. Vickrid has been trying

20
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:29,920
Speaker 3: to conduct surveys on farmland for the project, but on Tuesday,

21
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:34,479
Speaker 3: farmer Ben Duckson denied access to his farm. Duckson had

22
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:37,760
Speaker 3: the support of up to four hundred other farmers who

23
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:41,680
Speaker 3: traveled to his property from across Victoria. He said farmers

24
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 3: weren't afraid of being fined or even arrested. He said,

25
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 3: I think we can double our numbers next time. Are

26
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 3: they going to find us all? They're going to need

27
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:55,480
Speaker 3: to bring in buses and there's not enough rooms in jails.

28
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:59,080
Speaker 3: Joining me now is Deputy Executive Director of the Institute

29
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 3: of Public Affairs, Annual wild Dan. The state government's contentious

30
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 3: energy transmission legislation past Parliament earlier this year thanks to

31
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:12,640
Speaker 3: the support of the Greens, Cannabis and Animal Justice parties.

32
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 3: This is terrible legislation. It undermines the rights of farmers

33
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:23,520
Speaker 3: of all landholders, with officials granted the power to use

34
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:28,520
Speaker 3: reasonable force to enter whatever land they deem necessary for

35
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:31,120
Speaker 3: the construction of these transmission towers.

36
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 2: Well, you're right, this is terrible legislation.

37
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 4: It goes against every principle of our democracy, which is

38
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:42,840
Speaker 4: that people get to have a say over what happens

39
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 4: in their community. The fact is that in Victoria, these

40
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 4: bureaucrats have untraveled powers to come onto farmer's land to

41
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 4: seek to erect these high tension, high voltage transmission lines.

42
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 2: This is dividing communities.

43
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 4: It's completely and totally unacceptable, and on a number of

44
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:05,080
Speaker 4: occasions the individuals affected in regional Victoria have made it

45
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:07,880
Speaker 4: clear that they're not going to allow access to these

46
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:11,399
Speaker 4: bureaucrats and the government officials to come on to their farmland.

47
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:14,120
Speaker 4: And you can completely understand where it is that they're

48
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 4: coming from. So look, the reality is that this is

49
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 4: not just a Victoria problem. This is coming to a

50
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 4: regional town near you. This is what the federal government

51
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:26,520
Speaker 4: will do. We know that they are so woefully behind

52
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 4: on all of their targets that all across Australia, regional

53
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:33,960
Speaker 4: farmers are going to be steamrolled by these unconscionable laws.

54
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 4: So you know, you can understand why so many in

55
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 4: those communities want to stand up for their rights.

56
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 5: Now.

57
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 3: National Senator Matt Canavan has grilled Climate Change Authority CEO

58
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 3: Brad Archer over Australia's rising power bills. Have a listened

59
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 3: to this exchange if.

60
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 6: For a new Blenjie is the cheapest form of power.

61
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 6: How is it that Indonesia, who are investing so much

62
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 6: in coal, how is it how is it that they

63
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 6: now have industrial electricity prices according to the International Energy Agency,

64
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:09,960
Speaker 6: at a rate less than a third.

65
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 7: Of Australias sooner.

66
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 8: I haven't done any analysis of Indonesian electricity prices, so

67
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:16,039
Speaker 8: I'm not in a position to answer.

68
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:18,480
Speaker 6: That's a bit of a problem. I mean, if we're

69
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:21,560
Speaker 6: going to make advice on climate change targets, you'd think

70
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 6: you'd look at what our competing countries are doing or

71
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 6: competing for our jobs industry.

72
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 3: It's not done, Dan, I think it's a reasonable point.

73
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 3: They should know what is happening in neighboring countries and

74
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 3: competing countries and the impact on prices.

75
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:41,720
Speaker 2: Well, of course they know, of course, I know.

76
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 4: I mean this is just merely mouthed weasel words from

77
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 4: a bureaucrat that's falling in behind the minister to support

78
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 4: and defend a failed policy that everybody knows has failed.

79
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 2: You know, if renewables are so cheap, why do we

80
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 2: need to subsidize them.

81
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 4: If renewables are so cheap, why are our power bills

82
00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:00,160
Speaker 4: going up. If renewables are so cheap, what are other

83
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:04,040
Speaker 4: countries that have fewer renewable penetration or less renewable penetration

84
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 4: have lower prices.

85
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 2: Everybody knows that.

86
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:08,800
Speaker 4: Sure, the wind is free and the sun is free,

87
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:12,560
Speaker 4: but actually harnessing and generating electricity from those sources is

88
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:16,039
Speaker 4: obviously not free. The cheapest power system in our country

89
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:18,480
Speaker 4: is the one that we already have, and the cause

90
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:21,960
Speaker 4: of the higher power prices everybody knows is the subsidization

91
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:24,600
Speaker 4: of intermittent, low quality wind and solar power.

92
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:27,160
Speaker 2: Everybody knows that. The bureaucrats know it. Chris Bowen knows it.

93
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:29,599
Speaker 4: Chris Balin's not going to be Energy Minister next year anyway,

94
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:31,720
Speaker 4: so he's on the way out. They're going to sack

95
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 4: him so the government can crab walk away from these policies,

96
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:37,360
Speaker 4: so that bureaucrat I mean, you know, this is why

97
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:40,360
Speaker 4: trusting confidence in politics and in the government is at

98
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:43,120
Speaker 4: a record low because of merely mouthed statements like that.

99
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:47,280
Speaker 3: Do you see Chris Bowen being moved on next year?

100
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:47,599
Speaker 5: Dan?

101
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:51,839
Speaker 4: Oh, for sure, there's no doubt. I mean, they're already

102
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 4: backgrounding against him. So what will happen is because I

103
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 4: don't think the government's going to extend the bill subsidies,

104
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:01,040
Speaker 4: the electricity bill subsidies, so people's bills are going to

105
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 4: skyrocket and they're going to need a way out of it.

106
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:05,920
Speaker 4: So I think they'll crap walk away from net zero.

107
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 4: They're not going to dumb net zero the words of it,

108
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:09,800
Speaker 4: because they're wedded to it. But Chris Bowen will go.

109
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:12,560
Speaker 4: I don't think he'll even contest the next election, and

110
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:14,800
Speaker 4: they'll put someone else in there and they'll slightly start

111
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:17,479
Speaker 4: crab walking back some of the most nefarious parts of

112
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:19,559
Speaker 4: the net zero targets. I mean, I think that's almost

113
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:22,720
Speaker 4: guaranteed when they sort of kick off Parliament in February

114
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:23,159
Speaker 4: next year.

115
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:27,360
Speaker 3: I can see Chris Bowen at the un DAN. I

116
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 3: don't know if you can. I can just see him

117
00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:34,279
Speaker 3: grand standing on that global stage. He would just be

118
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:37,360
Speaker 3: loving it, So there might be a soft landing for him.

119
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 3: But yeah, they can throw him under the bus as

120
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 3: far as these disastrous, fanciful targets, so they've been pursuing

121
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:51,080
Speaker 3: in the last few years now. Anika Wells, the Communications Minister,

122
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:54,880
Speaker 3: was called out during a press club address yesterday for

123
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 3: spending over one hundred thousand dollars on a three day

124
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:02,600
Speaker 3: trip to New or. The figures were released in response

125
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:06,159
Speaker 3: to a cented estimate question and have a listen here

126
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:10,480
Speaker 3: to Sky News reporter Reuben Spargo ask her about the

127
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 3: cost of this trip.

128
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 9: You don't think that was expensive for airfares over ninety

129
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 9: four thousand dollars.

130
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 10: I've answered your question.

131
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:20,840
Speaker 9: It's been revealed your recent trip to New York to

132
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:25,000
Speaker 9: Sprook this span cost more than one hundred thousand dollars

133
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:28,720
Speaker 9: for yourself and two starfas. Airfes cost ninety four point

134
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:34,679
Speaker 9: eight thousand dollars, accommodation cost just under twelve thousand US dollars,

135
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 9: and ground transport cost around four thousand usd How do

136
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:43,760
Speaker 9: you justify it spending this amount of taxpayers dollars?

137
00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:45,280
Speaker 3: Well, the reason you know.

138
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:47,960
Speaker 11: All those things is because we're transparent about them.

139
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:51,360
Speaker 3: Well, Dan, there you go. They have been upfront, they've

140
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:52,920
Speaker 3: been transparent about the cost.

141
00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:58,720
Speaker 4: It's all okay, Yeah, they're upfront about how much they're

142
00:07:58,760 --> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 4: ripping us off.

143
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:00,600
Speaker 2: By that. Good of them.

144
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 4: How do you spend ninety four grand on three people's

145
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:08,640
Speaker 4: restrect flights? I mean, seriously, wasn't there anything wasn't there

146
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 4: anything cheaper to get. I mean, it's just an example

147
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:15,560
Speaker 4: of how people like Anaka Wells just don't care. I

148
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:18,040
Speaker 4: mean they're on the gravy train, they take it off

149
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 4: for granted. They don't care about what they're doing with

150
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:22,440
Speaker 4: our money. And by the way, she was there to

151
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:25,640
Speaker 4: spook a ban on social media for those Asian to

152
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:28,960
Speaker 4: sixteen that she doesn't even know how is going to work.

153
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:31,080
Speaker 4: They've got no idea how this thing's going to work.

154
00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:35,880
Speaker 4: They've exempted some platforms like Blue Sky because blues colost

155
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:38,840
Speaker 4: dominated by a left wing echo chamber that supports the government.

156
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 4: I mean, the mask has slipped on this. How can

157
00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 4: you say you're concerned about cyber bullying, for example, but

158
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:47,679
Speaker 4: then you exempt certain platforms because they happen to accord

159
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:49,920
Speaker 4: with the views of the government. So, you know, Anaika

160
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:51,920
Speaker 4: Wells has got to go. I mean, this is a

161
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:55,760
Speaker 4: policy disaster. It's a complete and total disarray, and now

162
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:58,120
Speaker 4: she's ripping off taxpayers left, right and center. I think

163
00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:00,360
Speaker 4: that she's going to be shuffled out of that position soon.

164
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:04,200
Speaker 3: Wow, this's going to be quite a reshuffle next year

165
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 3: if these predictions are accurate. But you're right, that's thirty

166
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:12,760
Speaker 3: one thousand dollars per person for return flights to New York.

167
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:18,319
Speaker 3: During that questioning, she said they didn't fly first class.

168
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:22,880
Speaker 3: So if they're flying business class, how is it costing

169
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:26,720
Speaker 3: thirty one thousand dollars per person? And it just shows

170
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:29,880
Speaker 3: you what little regard they have for taxpayers money that

171
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 3: they would have booked those fares. They didn't spend five

172
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:35,760
Speaker 3: minutes longer looking for something that was a little bit

173
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:39,439
Speaker 3: more sensible than whatever the whatever deal they got here.

174
00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:43,120
Speaker 3: I mean, it just seems outrageous. Anyone who's traveled internationally

175
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:46,680
Speaker 3: would know these fares are completely out of the realms

176
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:52,720
Speaker 3: of normality. On the issue though, you mentioned Blue Sky's exemption,

177
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:56,400
Speaker 3: how are they justifying that, because how can you possibly

178
00:09:56,559 --> 00:10:02,920
Speaker 3: ban platforms like x ban even YouTube, but then allow

179
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:07,600
Speaker 3: the lunatic asylum that is Blue Sky to be exempted.

180
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:11,480
Speaker 2: Exactly? I mean that I have a rationale for it,

181
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:14,440
Speaker 2: you know. So this is the this is the entire

182
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:15,200
Speaker 2: issue with the band.

183
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:16,600
Speaker 4: If you've got to do it, it has to be one

184
00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 4: in all in and you know, those of us who

185
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:23,240
Speaker 4: had concerns about elements of it long thought that there

186
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:25,480
Speaker 4: was a nefarious component to why they were banning it,

187
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:28,120
Speaker 4: which was to control the flow of information to young people.

188
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:29,400
Speaker 2: So if you think.

189
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:32,640
Speaker 4: About YouTube or other platforms, I'm not saying they're perfect,

190
00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:35,160
Speaker 4: but at least it gives access to alternative information that

191
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:37,760
Speaker 4: you won't get from the government, the mainstream media, or

192
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:40,600
Speaker 4: from the education system. So one of the worst parts

193
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 4: about this ban is that it's going to close the

194
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:46,640
Speaker 4: flow of information. It's government wanting to police debate. And

195
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:49,240
Speaker 4: what that also does is it undermines some of the

196
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:52,040
Speaker 4: legitimate grievances and concerns some people in the community have

197
00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:54,880
Speaker 4: about these platforms. But how can you say to Australians

198
00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:57,439
Speaker 4: that this is about keeping children safe, but then you're

199
00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:00,200
Speaker 4: exempting platforms that are left wing platforms that agree with

200
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:02,920
Speaker 4: the government's view. So, like I say, it's been completely

201
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:05,000
Speaker 4: bottled and I just don't think it's going to work.

202
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:08,680
Speaker 3: And if you want to see bullying, if you want

203
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:14,120
Speaker 3: to see some just vile posts, Blue Sky will provide

204
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 3: that for you. So it goes completely contrary to the

205
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 3: narrative that they're pushing here that this is all about

206
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:26,040
Speaker 3: safety and protecting young people from being bullied online. Now,

207
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:27,880
Speaker 3: before you go, I've got to ask you about the

208
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:32,640
Speaker 3: Brisbane twenty thirty two Olympic Games. They've unveiled their three

209
00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:40,160
Speaker 3: words slogan to underpin the competition. The three words are Believe, Belong, Become.

210
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:43,680
Speaker 3: They say the slogan is a short statement that will

211
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:47,160
Speaker 3: act as a guiding principle. But Dan, it's a statement

212
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:50,160
Speaker 3: that took more than a year to develop those three words.

213
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:54,920
Speaker 3: It involved a team of six marketing professionals and consultations

214
00:11:54,960 --> 00:12:01,240
Speaker 3: with an estimated one thousand stakeholders that's enough across the state,

215
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:04,240
Speaker 3: plus a further five thousand people who took part in

216
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:08,679
Speaker 3: an online survey. Dan, That's that's a lot of research

217
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 3: for three words Believe, Belong, Become.

218
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:17,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I really think that this came out

219
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:19,000
Speaker 4: of an episode of Utopia.

220
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:20,960
Speaker 2: I mean, you just can't make this stuff up.

221
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:23,800
Speaker 4: I mean, you could put in you know, you could

222
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:27,120
Speaker 4: put in some parameters into chat GBT and in five

223
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:29,280
Speaker 4: minutes it will have come up with something better. It's

224
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:32,240
Speaker 4: got nothing to do with Olympics. It's got nothing to

225
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:34,800
Speaker 4: do I mean, you sho have some national pride, you know,

226
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:36,920
Speaker 4: something that's going to bring us together as a nation.

227
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:42,200
Speaker 4: You know, there's this vague bureaucratic terms that mean absolutely nothing.

228
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:45,320
Speaker 4: I mean, this thing is just a complete joke. And

229
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:46,840
Speaker 4: you know, you look at the cost. I mean, I

230
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:49,000
Speaker 4: like the Olympics, and I'm quite happy for Australia to

231
00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:53,559
Speaker 4: host the Olympics, but it becomes a trough for bureaucrats

232
00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:56,520
Speaker 4: and consultants and these hr marketing types to get their

233
00:12:57,280 --> 00:12:59,280
Speaker 4: grubby mits all over it and they suck all this

234
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:01,600
Speaker 4: taxpayer out of it. That's the problem with this when

235
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:04,880
Speaker 4: it becomes bureaucratized, and you know, we've seen a soulless,

236
00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:11,079
Speaker 4: meaningless statement now, so I think it's incredibly disappointing and it's.

237
00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:12,880
Speaker 3: Not going to be remembered. It's not going to be

238
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:16,080
Speaker 3: something that's doiled upon. So all this effort, all this

239
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:20,800
Speaker 3: expenditure and resources spent to develop something that really it

240
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:23,920
Speaker 3: will be forgotten very quickly. Dan, While thank you so

241
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:27,880
Speaker 3: much for your time tonight. Joining me now is documentary

242
00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:32,480
Speaker 3: filmmaker and commentator Army Horowitz. Army, we have a lot

243
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:34,800
Speaker 3: of ground to cover across the world, but I am

244
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:37,839
Speaker 3: going to start in the US, and the Trump administration

245
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:43,040
Speaker 3: is not just targeting illegal immigration, but it's reviewing migrant

246
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:46,840
Speaker 3: programs with the President announcing a permanent pause on a

247
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:51,319
Speaker 3: third world migration, It's clear Donald Trump has had enough.

248
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:56,000
Speaker 12: The welfare is like eighty eight percent, the contribute nothing.

249
00:13:57,200 --> 00:13:58,520
Speaker 3: I don't want Tom and our county.

250
00:13:58,559 --> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 12: I'll be honest with you.

251
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:01,960
Speaker 7: We would say, oh, that's not politically correct.

252
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:02,520
Speaker 3: I don't care.

253
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:05,160
Speaker 12: I don't want him in our country. Their country is

254
00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:09,040
Speaker 12: no good for a reason, their country stakes. These are

255
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:13,760
Speaker 12: people that do nothing but complain. They complain and from

256
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:16,120
Speaker 12: where they came from they got nothing.

257
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:18,320
Speaker 13: You know, they came from.

258
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:21,800
Speaker 12: Paradise and they said, this isn't paradise. But when they

259
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:27,360
Speaker 12: come from hell and they complain and do nothing. But bitch,

260
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:30,920
Speaker 12: we don't want him in our country. Let him go

261
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:33,560
Speaker 12: back to where they came from and fix it.

262
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:35,080
Speaker 11: MEI.

263
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:38,880
Speaker 3: The President argues that America is at a tipping point

264
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:43,680
Speaker 3: and cannot afford both economically and culturally to have people

265
00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:47,560
Speaker 3: coming in in massive numbers who have no affinity with

266
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:48,680
Speaker 3: the country.

267
00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:50,680
Speaker 7: Yeah.

268
00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:56,400
Speaker 1: Look, I don't necessarily love the way he delivered that

269
00:14:56,520 --> 00:15:00,840
Speaker 1: message right really in Trump your way, but it's kind

270
00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:03,280
Speaker 1: of hard to disagree with a lot of the sentives

271
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:03,640
Speaker 1: that he says.

272
00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:07,360
Speaker 7: A lot of what he said is true, and.

273
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:10,760
Speaker 1: Particularly when we're talking about the Somalian immigrants, I think

274
00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:14,880
Speaker 1: who he was referring to specifically, Yeah, there are issues

275
00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:18,560
Speaker 1: with them, and we have to be real about them. Look,

276
00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:24,040
Speaker 1: the Somalians, they have a much lower level of English penetration, right,

277
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:26,080
Speaker 1: just walk around the streets of Minneapolis as I have,

278
00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:29,000
Speaker 1: and you will find that out. They have much lower

279
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:33,240
Speaker 1: education levels than we do. That's just and basically much

280
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:36,880
Speaker 1: more education than almost every other immigrant level immigrant coming

281
00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:41,720
Speaker 1: into this country. They have much higher dependency on welfare benefits,

282
00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:43,520
Speaker 1: in fact, long term dependency.

283
00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:45,360
Speaker 7: They have higher unemployment rates.

284
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:48,840
Speaker 1: There's more as long fundamentalism and and oh, by the way,

285
00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:53,720
Speaker 1: Somali immigrants outperformed in terms of the kids they sent

286
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:57,160
Speaker 1: to fight for Isis. Yeah, that's a problem, Okay, higher

287
00:15:57,200 --> 00:15:59,040
Speaker 1: than any other immigrant group. And of course they have

288
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:02,240
Speaker 1: a very negative even though they take advantage of all

289
00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:05,480
Speaker 1: the systems we have here, they still have among the lowest,

290
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:09,720
Speaker 1: the highest, sorry highest negative views on America, higher than

291
00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:11,600
Speaker 1: any other African group in particular.

292
00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:13,880
Speaker 7: So this is not really about race or continent.

293
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:18,000
Speaker 1: In fact, the one of the most successful subgroups of

294
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:22,280
Speaker 1: immigrants coming here are Nigeria's incredibly successful they know what

295
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:26,120
Speaker 1: they're leaving, and they appreciate what they're coming to. So yeah,

296
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:29,040
Speaker 1: it bothers the President and it bothers me when people

297
00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:34,200
Speaker 1: come here and don't look. We guarantee, we guarantee opportunity here,

298
00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:36,080
Speaker 1: we just don't guarantee success.

299
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:38,480
Speaker 7: I'm sorry. It's the nature of what we do here.

300
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:42,680
Speaker 1: You have to pursue education, You have to fundamentally train

301
00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:45,280
Speaker 1: your children to love the country that's embracing you.

302
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:47,120
Speaker 7: So yeah, I'm sorry.

303
00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:50,360
Speaker 1: If the truth is we should be vetting certain immigrants

304
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:53,000
Speaker 1: more than others, and for example, we should vet Somalian

305
00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 1: immigrants more than we do let's say Korean or Canadian.

306
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:57,200
Speaker 7: That just makes sense.

307
00:16:57,320 --> 00:16:59,680
Speaker 1: Don't love the way delivered that, But a lot of

308
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:00,720
Speaker 1: it's just simply true.

309
00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:02,840
Speaker 2: Now.

310
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:05,840
Speaker 3: I mean, you were in Minneapolis a few years ago

311
00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:09,520
Speaker 3: to speak to members of the Somalian community about their

312
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:14,399
Speaker 3: ashtude to America, and you ask, do they prefer living

313
00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:17,160
Speaker 3: under American law or Sharia law?

314
00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:24,359
Speaker 10: Shari allah, I'm a Muslim, I prefer Yes, you prefer

315
00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:26,960
Speaker 10: Sharia law over American law?

316
00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:29,160
Speaker 7: Of course, yeah, of course.

317
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:33,520
Speaker 10: And do you find most of your friends I feel

318
00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:36,359
Speaker 10: the same way, Yeah, of course. If you're musliminic. Is

319
00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:38,200
Speaker 10: it right to kill somebody who solves Mohammed?

320
00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:42,280
Speaker 3: Yeah? Because she is just she had the religion, I understand,

321
00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:44,160
Speaker 3: But she shouldn't beat up the prophet.

322
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:46,040
Speaker 10: You know, do you understand why people would want to

323
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:48,840
Speaker 10: attack her. Yeah, you had a choice. Would you rather

324
00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:51,280
Speaker 10: here is love in the mother cousture? I rather live

325
00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:53,800
Speaker 10: in a Muslim country or my people? Would you prefer

326
00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:55,920
Speaker 10: to live in America or prefer to live in Samaria?

327
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:57,359
Speaker 3: For me, I think it's somnia.

328
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:00,200
Speaker 10: I would rather live in I'm not America, and I

329
00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:02,040
Speaker 10: just I just speak fluent.

330
00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:03,520
Speaker 1: And I'm you know what I mean, I'm ar ticket

331
00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:05,200
Speaker 1: and I can articulate what I'm trying to say, you

332
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:05,560
Speaker 1: know what I mean.

333
00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:06,040
Speaker 14: That's about it.

334
00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:08,360
Speaker 1: Other than that, I mean, as far as my culture,

335
00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:10,560
Speaker 1: my prefaces and everything, it's still Somoli, you know what

336
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:10,880
Speaker 1: I mean.

337
00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:14,639
Speaker 3: I mean, how widespread was that sentiment among those you

338
00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:15,159
Speaker 3: spoke to?

339
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:18,960
Speaker 1: Incredibly white spread. It was almost every single person I

340
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:21,280
Speaker 1: spoke to. And by the way, most of the people

341
00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:24,879
Speaker 1: I approached didn't speak English. As I said before, No,

342
00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:28,760
Speaker 1: look this is these views are antithetical to liberal democracies

343
00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:31,480
Speaker 1: in general in this country, in particular, and that one kid,

344
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:34,800
Speaker 1: that one younger black kid who had the net the

345
00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:38,960
Speaker 1: Brooklyn nets had on really kind of highlighted how interesting

346
00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:39,919
Speaker 1: and disturbing it was.

347
00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:41,600
Speaker 7: And he said it in you know.

348
00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:44,880
Speaker 1: That look you look at me, You see a regular

349
00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:47,920
Speaker 1: American kid, right, look at a regular American black kid.

350
00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:50,159
Speaker 7: But I'm not. He goes, yeah, I.

351
00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:54,280
Speaker 1: Front that way, but in reality I do. I am

352
00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:57,960
Speaker 1: not fundamentally American. I am fundamentally Somalian. He was born

353
00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:01,200
Speaker 1: here in the US. I remember it was a while ago,

354
00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:05,400
Speaker 1: but I found that conversation so striking. Yes, it's incredibly problematic,

355
00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:08,600
Speaker 1: and I don't think it's wrong or racist to call

356
00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:09,560
Speaker 1: out the truth.

357
00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:15,399
Speaker 3: Sorry, now we'll get back to US issues shortly, but

358
00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:19,359
Speaker 3: let's see what's happening in Italy, where Greta Thumberg and

359
00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:24,960
Speaker 3: the UN's Francesca Albanese leading rallies around the country and

360
00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:29,040
Speaker 3: after getting herself banned from Venice for dying the Grand

361
00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:33,440
Speaker 3: Canal Green, Greta Thumberg had this to say to activists

362
00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:34,040
Speaker 3: in Rome.

363
00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 15: I could tell you all in detail exactly how physically

364
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:45,160
Speaker 15: repulsed I feel and how heartbreaking I feel every time

365
00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:49,240
Speaker 15: I think about the war criminals in charge, including your

366
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:53,160
Speaker 15: fashion governments rather ruder.

367
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:56,679
Speaker 3: Thumberg also said that Italy is one of the most

368
00:19:56,800 --> 00:20:01,840
Speaker 3: complicit countries when it comes to finance, military and political

369
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:07,280
Speaker 3: support to Israel, while Israel, according to her, conducting massacres,

370
00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:09,840
Speaker 3: aco side and genocide.

371
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:15,920
Speaker 7: Oh really, you know, you learn something new every day. Okay,

372
00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:18,800
Speaker 7: let's go. Look. Oh she's such a potty mouth.

373
00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:21,840
Speaker 1: Okay, and you know, I call her stupid little girl,

374
00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:24,560
Speaker 1: but that little that little gremlin is twenty one years old.

375
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:25,760
Speaker 7: She should should know many.

376
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:30,280
Speaker 1: I gotta be honest, She's such a caricature that I'm

377
00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:32,080
Speaker 1: not one hundred ccenty sure this isn't some kind of

378
00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:33,120
Speaker 1: long cod.

379
00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:35,920
Speaker 7: Okay, she is such a joke. And by the way,

380
00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:36,920
Speaker 7: you know when she.

381
00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:40,919
Speaker 1: Was banned from Venice because she was pouring a green

382
00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:45,159
Speaker 1: dye into the canal. Shockingly, the fine for that is

383
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:47,120
Speaker 1: only one hundred and fifty euros.

384
00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:50,720
Speaker 7: That seems a little bit low. For yes, I found

385
00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:51,560
Speaker 7: that fascinating.

386
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:56,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, First of all, she talked about that how

387
00:20:56,240 --> 00:21:00,960
Speaker 1: how complicit Italy is in Israel's genocide. Well, okay, the

388
00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:06,080
Speaker 1: facts are is that Italy buys no weapons from Israel,

389
00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:10,479
Speaker 1: and Israel buys. I think one percent of their defense

390
00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:13,800
Speaker 1: budget goes to Italian weapons. Actually, I spent more on

391
00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:16,880
Speaker 1: Italian weapons in twenty twenty five in the state of Israel's.

392
00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:18,760
Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm partial to the Burretta.

393
00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:22,040
Speaker 1: So do not come to a Horwaritz household, people, okay,

394
00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:25,960
Speaker 1: or you will find some fine Italian weaponry in your face.

395
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:29,280
Speaker 7: And eco side.

396
00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:33,520
Speaker 1: Really, Israel is one of the leaders when it comes

397
00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:38,360
Speaker 1: to agricultural sustainability, when it comes to clean tech, when

398
00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:41,920
Speaker 1: it comes to solar technology. Okay, this is actually where

399
00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:45,000
Speaker 1: Israel excels. I don't know what ecoside she's talking about,

400
00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:47,800
Speaker 1: but yeah, she got it wrong on every single front.

401
00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:50,760
Speaker 7: That's not shocking, not a news flash, you know.

402
00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:56,120
Speaker 3: No, this is what we expect from Greta. And she's yeah,

403
00:21:56,440 --> 00:22:04,080
Speaker 3: pivoting from climate change alarmism to anti Israeli protests daily

404
00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:07,280
Speaker 3: almost so she's covering a lot of ground. Before you go,

405
00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:12,320
Speaker 3: there's a bold new policy that's been announced, the introduction

406
00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:16,359
Speaker 3: of Trump accounts, where every newborn is going to get

407
00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:19,840
Speaker 3: a thousand dollars in an account that will be invested

408
00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:23,359
Speaker 3: in select stocks and ETFs. This is going to be

409
00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:27,879
Speaker 3: for newborns that are born between twenty twenty five and

410
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:32,320
Speaker 3: twenty twenty eight. Let's hear it from Treasury Secretary Scott Percent.

411
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:39,080
Speaker 8: It is the merging of President Trump's agenda of parallel

412
00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:44,000
Speaker 8: prosperity Main Street meets Wall Street. For the next five years,

413
00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:47,399
Speaker 8: that every child born in the US will get a

414
00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:51,080
Speaker 8: thousand dollars Trump account that will be with them and

415
00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:56,320
Speaker 8: compound for the next eighteen years. Treasury Department, with other

416
00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:59,720
Speaker 8: branches of government is going to do financial literacy and

417
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:03,960
Speaker 8: are going to make sure that all American families have

418
00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:07,600
Speaker 8: a stake in the success of the United States of America.

419
00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:12,800
Speaker 3: Ammy, I suspect you're not a fan of this new plan.

420
00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:13,520
Speaker 3: What do you think.

421
00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:17,560
Speaker 7: I don't know. I think I take offense to that.

422
00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:21,159
Speaker 7: What do you read a come on, I don't know.

423
00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:23,920
Speaker 3: I just had this failing No.

424
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:26,080
Speaker 7: Actually, I think it's great. I think it's wonderful.

425
00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:28,520
Speaker 1: Particularly there's a lot of money coming from donations and

426
00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:31,440
Speaker 1: the delve Nation has given billions of dollars toy.

427
00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:32,679
Speaker 7: No, I'm all for it.

428
00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:35,280
Speaker 1: And you know again, I was told that we know

429
00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:38,439
Speaker 1: math on this interview, but yet I'm forced to do

430
00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:42,600
Speaker 1: some math. Yeah, if you at birth was given one

431
00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:44,760
Speaker 1: thousand dollars account, and it was put in the S

432
00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:47,400
Speaker 1: and P five hundred se hundred five hundred. The last

433
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:50,360
Speaker 1: fifty years turned ten point five percent. So if that

434
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:53,760
Speaker 1: one thousand dollars was kept the account compounding every year

435
00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:56,919
Speaker 1: even after eighteen, if you continue to reinvesting it in

436
00:23:56,960 --> 00:24:00,040
Speaker 1: the SP five hundred, that one thousand dollars when you

437
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:03,200
Speaker 1: were born by a retirement age will come up to

438
00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:07,800
Speaker 1: over six hundred and seventy five thousand dollars upon retorn. Wow,

439
00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:11,879
Speaker 1: that's real money for people starting By the way, it

440
00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:16,360
Speaker 1: shows you the brilliance of compound investing and capitalism.

441
00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:17,000
Speaker 7: So there you go.

442
00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:21,520
Speaker 3: It does. And you mentioned the Dells there. The couple

443
00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:25,800
Speaker 3: were there standing with President Trump. They've donated at six

444
00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:30,840
Speaker 3: point five billion to this. It's just incredibly generous. Mi Horowitz,

445
00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:33,560
Speaker 3: Thank you so much for your time. Always a pleasure

446
00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:38,840
Speaker 3: still to come. Lefties Losing It and never before seen

447
00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:43,560
Speaker 3: videos and images from Jeffrey Epstein's Private Island. C. J.

448
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:56,800
Speaker 3: Pearson is up next. You're watching the Reader Panehy Show,

449
00:24:56,840 --> 00:25:01,040
Speaker 3: and it's time for Lefties Losing It. Scotland has been

450
00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:03,959
Speaker 3: called the most socialist city in the US. It has

451
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:07,840
Speaker 3: a reputation as a place full of hard left lunatics.

452
00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:11,040
Speaker 3: I can't imagine why. It's not like these lefties get

453
00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:14,480
Speaker 3: together and just scream into the void once a week

454
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:30,520
Speaker 3: to New York now, and here is United Methodist Church

455
00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:36,639
Speaker 3: pastor Phil Faneuf using a sermon to announce he is transitioning.

456
00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:40,040
Speaker 11: The best way to put this is that I'm not

457
00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:43,680
Speaker 11: becoming a woman. I'm giving up pretending to be a man.

458
00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:47,840
Speaker 11: Know they clothes, they're just fibers. They do not carry

459
00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:51,239
Speaker 11: an anatomy with them. So to say that something as

460
00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:54,719
Speaker 11: girls clothes or boys clothes, well, they don't come with

461
00:25:54,800 --> 00:26:00,760
Speaker 11: a reproductive system. Amen, So we'll change my voice. They

462
00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:02,000
Speaker 11: might go with tad higher.

463
00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:04,480
Speaker 10: Pronounced she her.

464
00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:08,360
Speaker 3: Let's go to La now, where protesters have been taking

465
00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:11,720
Speaker 3: over roads and preventing people from getting to their flights.

466
00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:15,520
Speaker 3: Just look at how much they care about ruining people's

467
00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:16,320
Speaker 3: travel plans.

468
00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:17,720
Speaker 9: I don't remember why.

469
00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:32,639
Speaker 3: Earlier this week I brought you a disturbing clip of

470
00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:36,440
Speaker 3: Jim Acosta in conversation with Rosie O'Donnell, and I say

471
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:41,720
Speaker 3: disturbing not just because of the wacky, delusional, downright loopy dialogue,

472
00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:45,040
Speaker 3: but also because these two look far too much alike.

473
00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:48,840
Speaker 3: And here is more of the same, more wacky, delusional,

474
00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:53,120
Speaker 3: downright loopy dialogue between two look alikes. This time it's

475
00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:57,959
Speaker 3: EMSN Now anchor Rachel Maddow and soon to be unemployed

476
00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:02,200
Speaker 3: late night TV hosts Stephen Colbert. Listen as matt Out

477
00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:06,439
Speaker 3: doubles down here on the Russian collusion hoax that she

478
00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:10,399
Speaker 3: ran for years. She's not sorry for the lies and misinformation.

479
00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:16,920
Speaker 3: She's back to pushing the same debunked narrative, the.

480
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:20,320
Speaker 16: Paul Putin and Trump thing that was so weird for

481
00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:22,879
Speaker 16: all those years, which a lot of us reported on

482
00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:23,760
Speaker 16: a lot at the time and.

483
00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:25,000
Speaker 7: Got a lot of pussle for it.

484
00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:27,360
Speaker 16: I'm just saying it kind of seems like that's now

485
00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:30,040
Speaker 16: paid off, with the Kremlin actually running US foreign policy

486
00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:32,800
Speaker 16: through the President's Dufis golf friend.

487
00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:38,920
Speaker 3: Yep, she really just said the Kremlin is running US

488
00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:42,440
Speaker 3: foreign policy. Just when you think she's hit rock bottom,

489
00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:44,960
Speaker 3: she finds anilo.

490
00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:46,880
Speaker 16: And now we apparently have been captured by the Kremlin

491
00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:52,359
Speaker 16: and work for Vladimir Putin's They've got a kleptocratic, sclerotic

492
00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:55,360
Speaker 16: government run by a guy who's never going to leave

493
00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:56,200
Speaker 16: until he dies.

494
00:27:56,600 --> 00:27:57,439
Speaker 7: The idea that.

495
00:27:57,359 --> 00:28:00,479
Speaker 16: We work for him, that we work for them, is

496
00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:04,639
Speaker 16: so humiliating, and it's such an abject failure on the

497
00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:06,960
Speaker 16: part of Trump in terms of his weakness. I don't

498
00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:09,119
Speaker 16: know what Putin has on him, but he works for

499
00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:12,040
Speaker 16: Putin and it's an embarrassment to this country.

500
00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:18,280
Speaker 3: What can you say, actually unhinged, fact free, divorce from reality,

501
00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:24,359
Speaker 3: paranoid fantasies that Stephen Colbert did not push back on once,

502
00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:29,640
Speaker 3: not one bit. Now the Democrats and the propagandists are

503
00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:33,840
Speaker 3: desperate to claim that America has committed war crimes by

504
00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:38,960
Speaker 3: eliminating a narco boat and Narco terrorist drug runners who

505
00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:42,120
Speaker 3: were trying to bring in huge amounts of deadly drugs

506
00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:46,400
Speaker 3: into the country, and now persisting with this daft narrative,

507
00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:49,760
Speaker 3: even as the New York Times, Yes, the Trump deranged

508
00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:54,880
Speaker 3: New York Times debunks the Washington Posts kill everybody hoax.

509
00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:59,200
Speaker 3: That was a claim that War Secretary Pete Hegzet gave

510
00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:03,600
Speaker 3: a kill everybody order. But we still have the likes

511
00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:08,320
Speaker 3: of ms now putting to air Democrat operatives like this

512
00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:13,040
Speaker 3: next character, Leon Panetta. This is the man who ran

513
00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:19,240
Speaker 3: the CIA under Barack Obama. That was during Barak's first term,

514
00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:22,920
Speaker 3: when he was a droning people left right and center,

515
00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:28,520
Speaker 3: including Americans. This is the guy that ms NOW put

516
00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:31,440
Speaker 3: to air for this sober analysis.

517
00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:36,400
Speaker 17: There is no lawyer that I am aware of who

518
00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:40,440
Speaker 17: indicates that that second strike is not a war crime.

519
00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:45,080
Speaker 17: These were individuals in the water who were wounded. It

520
00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:49,440
Speaker 17: is against the law to strike and kill those individuals.

521
00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:53,080
Speaker 17: They did that. As far as I'm concerned, there is

522
00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:56,440
Speaker 17: a war crime involved here, and it's for that reason

523
00:29:56,960 --> 00:30:00,600
Speaker 17: that I think we need to hold people accountable.

524
00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:05,840
Speaker 3: And just to drive home how little credibility that character has.

525
00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:10,040
Speaker 3: This is the same Leon Panetta who claimed, with fifty

526
00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:15,080
Speaker 3: other anti Trump intelligence experts, they all claim that Hunter

527
00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:19,640
Speaker 3: Biden's laptop was a Russian plot, that it wasn't real.

528
00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:25,200
Speaker 3: These characters deliberately influenced an election by putting their names

529
00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:30,239
Speaker 3: to that outrageously. Joining me now is political advisor and

530
00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:37,280
Speaker 3: commentator CJ. Pearson. This is just the latest manufactured crisis

531
00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:41,480
Speaker 3: we've seen, but as always, so many in the media

532
00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:45,680
Speaker 3: are very excited about it and just running this uncritically.

533
00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:48,920
Speaker 14: You know, you're exactly right, Rita, and thank you so

534
00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:49,800
Speaker 14: much for having me.

535
00:30:50,120 --> 00:30:52,720
Speaker 18: And they're always excited to drag down this president, distract

536
00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:54,800
Speaker 18: from the incredible and important work that he's doing every

537
00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:57,959
Speaker 18: single day, deliver for the American people upon the mandate

538
00:30:58,000 --> 00:30:59,640
Speaker 18: in which he was given when he was resounding the

539
00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:01,200
Speaker 18: election to be president, not just.

540
00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:03,600
Speaker 14: With the popular vote, electoral college as well.

541
00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:06,000
Speaker 18: Here's the deal when it comes to be hexf's actions

542
00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:09,360
Speaker 18: as it relates to this particular issue, here's actually my

543
00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:11,360
Speaker 18: case for it. I'm actually glad that we have a

544
00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:13,480
Speaker 18: Secretary of war who is going to kill the narco

545
00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:16,120
Speaker 18: terrorists before they kill American citizens. This is not the

546
00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:18,480
Speaker 18: winning issue that the left thinks that it is. These

547
00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:21,280
Speaker 18: people have traffic fitting on to our country, killed our children,

548
00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:23,959
Speaker 18: killed our daughters, killed our sons, and now we're supposed

549
00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:26,120
Speaker 18: to just sit back with our hands tied behind our

550
00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:29,760
Speaker 18: back because it upsets the proclivities and the sensitivities of

551
00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:30,560
Speaker 18: those in the left.

552
00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:33,040
Speaker 14: I'm sorry, I don't think the American people are going

553
00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:33,520
Speaker 14: to go for that.

554
00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:37,120
Speaker 3: It does seem to be a bit of a losing issue.

555
00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:39,360
Speaker 3: I don't know why they're going in so hard with this,

556
00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:43,720
Speaker 3: because we are talking about drug traffickers, and not small

557
00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:47,400
Speaker 3: scale drug traffickers, but we're talking large amounts that could

558
00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:52,440
Speaker 3: potentially kill thousands of people. Now, let's discuss the cost

559
00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:56,080
Speaker 3: of living. And here is CNN bringing some good news

560
00:31:56,360 --> 00:31:59,080
Speaker 3: and this must have hurt them some.

561
00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:02,120
Speaker 16: Stat seeing gas is below three dollars for the first

562
00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:03,120
Speaker 16: time in years.

563
00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:04,960
Speaker 7: Let's get to see and as Matt Egan for the

564
00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:05,800
Speaker 7: good news.

565
00:32:05,480 --> 00:32:07,800
Speaker 16: On this, Yeah, absolutely, it's nice to finally be here

566
00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:09,520
Speaker 16: with some good news on the cost of living front.

567
00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:12,320
Speaker 16: So for the first time in four and a half years,

568
00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:17,400
Speaker 16: gas prices are averaging three dollars a gallon National in court.

569
00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:21,400
Speaker 3: In triple a CJ. That report went on to say

570
00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:24,160
Speaker 3: that there are twenty states across the country where the

571
00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:27,360
Speaker 3: average price of gas is less than two dollars seventy

572
00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:31,480
Speaker 3: five a gallon. How big a deal is that? Is

573
00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:34,880
Speaker 3: cost of living still at top tier issue?

574
00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:38,640
Speaker 18: Is it the top tier issoe Yeah, it's definitely a

575
00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:40,480
Speaker 18: top two issue here in the States. You know, we're

576
00:32:40,520 --> 00:32:42,680
Speaker 18: seeing that people don't only want to see him make

577
00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:44,680
Speaker 18: you know, make America great again. They want to see

578
00:32:44,680 --> 00:32:47,320
Speaker 18: America made affordable again. And President Trump is doing all

579
00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:49,280
Speaker 18: that he can do to lead on that front. We're

580
00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:51,600
Speaker 18: not only seeing, of course, gas prices go down, but

581
00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:54,320
Speaker 18: we also saw this past month the median price of

582
00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:56,360
Speaker 18: rent go down as well, And so I think these

583
00:32:56,360 --> 00:32:59,520
Speaker 18: things are incredible, you know, steps in the right direction

584
00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:02,080
Speaker 18: to and sure that the American Dreamer remains within the

585
00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:05,320
Speaker 18: grass of you know, the American people, and I think

586
00:33:05,320 --> 00:33:07,480
Speaker 18: that they're welcoming it. And also too, it goes to

587
00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:10,520
Speaker 18: show that we don't need socialism to actually rate this ship.

588
00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:13,360
Speaker 18: We don't need the vision of xoron Mam Donnie to

589
00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:17,440
Speaker 18: fix this problem. Capitalist solutions do work, hard work policies

590
00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:20,200
Speaker 18: do work, and I think that's exactly what we'll see

591
00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:22,120
Speaker 18: more of from this president in the months and years

592
00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:22,480
Speaker 18: to come.

593
00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:28,080
Speaker 3: Now, CJ. Democrats on the US House Oversight Committee have

594
00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:33,600
Speaker 3: released never before seen videos and images from Epstein's private island,

595
00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:37,440
Speaker 3: Jeffrey Epstein's private island, And I have to say, CJ,

596
00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:43,240
Speaker 3: the whole thing is rather creepy and depressing, its stark scenery,

597
00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:49,040
Speaker 3: ugly furniture. But it's a quickly emerged after this footage

598
00:33:49,080 --> 00:33:53,040
Speaker 3: was released that the Democrats who are demanding full transparency

599
00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:59,520
Speaker 3: have again redacted information, and that is information and images

600
00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:04,400
Speaker 3: that segative journalist James A. Cafe had already released. Why

601
00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:06,920
Speaker 3: are they doing this? They did this with the email

602
00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:08,319
Speaker 3: release a couple of weeks ago.

603
00:34:09,760 --> 00:34:11,759
Speaker 18: Yeah, you know, they were adapting this invervation because it

604
00:34:11,880 --> 00:34:14,319
Speaker 18: probably implicates them. You know, if you look at all

605
00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:16,040
Speaker 18: that footage, I would have to ask whether or not

606
00:34:16,120 --> 00:34:18,400
Speaker 18: that footage actually came from Bill Clinton's metaglasses.

607
00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:19,719
Speaker 14: But I know they didn't have those back in.

608
00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:21,799
Speaker 18: The day, you know, because of course he had a

609
00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:23,799
Speaker 18: first hand view of everything that was going on in

610
00:34:23,800 --> 00:34:26,400
Speaker 18: that island, because he was a frequent visitor to that island.

611
00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:29,319
Speaker 18: And so you know, the Democrats again have tried to

612
00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:31,480
Speaker 18: milk this so called scandal for all that it is.

613
00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:34,520
Speaker 18: It's actually really unfortunate because it distracts from the real

614
00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:38,400
Speaker 18: victims of Epstein's depraved actions. Those people deserve justice, and

615
00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:41,840
Speaker 18: I think that Republicans the Democrats both agree on that front.

616
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:43,680
Speaker 18: But the way in which the Democrats have sought to

617
00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:45,880
Speaker 18: politicize this issue, and they showed that they did not

618
00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:48,920
Speaker 18: give a damn about it until this president was in office,

619
00:34:49,239 --> 00:34:51,520
Speaker 18: it tells you everything they need, everything you need to

620
00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:54,440
Speaker 18: know about their actual intentions and their sincerity when it

621
00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:57,640
Speaker 18: comes to justice being brought to the victims of Epstein's

622
00:34:57,719 --> 00:34:58,440
Speaker 18: terrible crimes.

623
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:03,160
Speaker 3: Hey, we've been talking about the Trump administration cracking down

624
00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:06,680
Speaker 3: on fraud in Minnesota, and we've also heard President Trump's

625
00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:12,160
Speaker 3: damning comments about Democrat elin omer Well, let's hear from

626
00:35:12,280 --> 00:35:14,520
Speaker 3: the congresswoman always been.

627
00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:20,360
Speaker 13: A racist, bigot, a senophobic, and islamophobic. We know that

628
00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:25,080
Speaker 13: he called African nations in his first administration.

629
00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:27,000
Speaker 3: Most of us are citizens.

630
00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:30,240
Speaker 19: On our passport, it says we are nationals of this country.

631
00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:34,000
Speaker 19: We love that Minnesota has welcomed us. Many of us

632
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:36,359
Speaker 19: have not been settled in Minnesota. We choose it as

633
00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:39,960
Speaker 19: a whome because the Minnesota people and the state is

634
00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:43,400
Speaker 19: beautiful and very welcoming, and we are going to be

635
00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:46,359
Speaker 19: here regardless of what the President has to say.

636
00:35:46,640 --> 00:35:48,680
Speaker 3: I almost thought for a second there she was going

637
00:35:48,719 --> 00:35:51,560
Speaker 3: to say, we love this country. I think it's pretty

638
00:35:51,560 --> 00:35:56,799
Speaker 3: clear that elin Omar does not love America. But what

639
00:35:56,880 --> 00:36:00,880
Speaker 3: do you think about the clash between her and Trump?

640
00:36:00,920 --> 00:36:03,800
Speaker 3: And do you feel that those who have been granted

641
00:36:03,840 --> 00:36:08,040
Speaker 3: asylum and a second chance at life in America have

642
00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:11,759
Speaker 3: an obligation to be patriotic and at least be a

643
00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:14,319
Speaker 3: little bit grateful to their new homeland.

644
00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:17,000
Speaker 14: You know, I would definitely agree with that.

645
00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:19,360
Speaker 18: You don't get to flee one country and try to

646
00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:21,800
Speaker 18: turn our country to the third world country that you fled.

647
00:36:22,120 --> 00:36:24,360
Speaker 18: It's just not doesn't really make much sense to me

648
00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:26,359
Speaker 18: as to why we would allow that as a part

649
00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:28,560
Speaker 18: of government policy. But I'll tell you now, I'm not

650
00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:31,280
Speaker 18: surprised to see Ilhan Omar and President Trump on opposite

651
00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:33,600
Speaker 18: the size of this issue and many other issues, because

652
00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:36,040
Speaker 18: the inherent difference between the two of them is that

653
00:36:36,040 --> 00:36:38,720
Speaker 18: that our president, President Trump loves this country.

654
00:36:38,760 --> 00:36:40,080
Speaker 14: She does not love this country.

655
00:36:40,320 --> 00:36:43,719
Speaker 18: You I couldn't readily actually recall any single moment when

656
00:36:43,719 --> 00:36:45,920
Speaker 18: she has said anything glowing about the United States of

657
00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:48,319
Speaker 18: America at any time. I could tell you when she

658
00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:51,720
Speaker 18: said great things about Somoya, a country that she refuses

659
00:36:51,760 --> 00:36:54,759
Speaker 18: to go back to, But I cannot tell you when

660
00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:57,919
Speaker 18: she has ever said something about why America is great,

661
00:36:57,920 --> 00:37:00,040
Speaker 18: why she continued to be great. And I think I

662
00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:03,040
Speaker 18: should tell you everything about her and her politics.

663
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:04,160
Speaker 7: Now.

664
00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:07,920
Speaker 3: CJ there reports that the Justice Department is close to

665
00:37:07,960 --> 00:37:11,480
Speaker 3: a decision on whether to seek new indictments against former

666
00:37:11,680 --> 00:37:16,280
Speaker 3: FBI Director James Comy and New York Attorney General Leticia James,

667
00:37:16,840 --> 00:37:21,680
Speaker 3: a Democrat, appointed federal judge dismissed the cases against Comy

668
00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:27,440
Speaker 3: and James on a technicality, but without prejudice, meaning these

669
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:29,440
Speaker 3: charges can be refiled.

670
00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:32,640
Speaker 18: You know, you're exactly right, Red. I'm so glad you

671
00:37:32,680 --> 00:37:34,440
Speaker 18: brought up that point. You know, the judge, you're not

672
00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:36,960
Speaker 18: ruling the merit of this case and anyone whatsoever. You're

673
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:39,080
Speaker 18: not ruling the guilt of James COVID, you're not ruling

674
00:37:39,120 --> 00:37:39,759
Speaker 18: the guilt.

675
00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:40,680
Speaker 14: Of Leticia James.

676
00:37:41,080 --> 00:37:43,600
Speaker 18: And so these cases can be refiled and they can

677
00:37:43,920 --> 00:37:46,680
Speaker 18: be seen in a new light. And so I hope

678
00:37:46,719 --> 00:37:49,200
Speaker 18: that that is exactly what the DOJ will do. I

679
00:37:49,239 --> 00:37:51,200
Speaker 18: believe that that is what will happen based on that

680
00:37:51,280 --> 00:37:54,200
Speaker 18: conversation with those in the building. And the reason I

681
00:37:54,239 --> 00:37:56,040
Speaker 18: think that's so important is I think it's important that

682
00:37:56,080 --> 00:37:58,279
Speaker 18: we make the case that no one is above the lot.

683
00:37:58,280 --> 00:38:01,440
Speaker 18: It's matter if you're Attorney General of New York or

684
00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:04,000
Speaker 18: if you're the former FBI director, you will be held

685
00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:06,760
Speaker 18: accountable if you break the law. And there's a strong

686
00:38:06,760 --> 00:38:08,879
Speaker 18: evidence suggests that that's exactly what they did.

687
00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:15,359
Speaker 3: President Trump has been all about returning manufacturing back to America,

688
00:38:15,440 --> 00:38:20,279
Speaker 3: and he plans to reset fuel efficiency standards for cars

689
00:38:20,360 --> 00:38:25,160
Speaker 3: in an effort to boost manufacturing and lower prices. Let's

690
00:38:25,200 --> 00:38:29,520
Speaker 3: hear from the President and then the Ford CEO, Jim Farley.

691
00:38:30,640 --> 00:38:33,600
Speaker 12: You know, I want the auto workers vote, but now

692
00:38:33,640 --> 00:38:35,560
Speaker 12: even the head of the Auto workers that Trump is

693
00:38:35,560 --> 00:38:39,640
Speaker 12: the greatest president we've ever seen, and he happens to

694
00:38:39,640 --> 00:38:40,400
Speaker 12: be right about that.

695
00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:44,680
Speaker 20: We were number two last year in ev sales, we

696
00:38:44,719 --> 00:38:47,840
Speaker 20: were number three in hybrid, and we're the leading brand

697
00:38:47,880 --> 00:38:50,520
Speaker 20: for combustion. We believe that people should be able to

698
00:38:50,520 --> 00:38:53,600
Speaker 20: make a choice, as you said, mister President, and we

699
00:38:53,640 --> 00:38:58,600
Speaker 20: will invest more in affordable vehicles. This allows us to

700
00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:03,120
Speaker 20: invest in affordable vehicles made in the US aj.

701
00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:08,120
Speaker 3: The previous rules under the Biden administration we're all aimed

702
00:39:08,160 --> 00:39:13,480
Speaker 3: about focused on lowering carbon emissions and putting upward pressure

703
00:39:13,520 --> 00:39:17,919
Speaker 3: on car prices. So this is fairly dramatic departure from

704
00:39:17,960 --> 00:39:18,839
Speaker 3: those policies.

705
00:39:20,080 --> 00:39:22,960
Speaker 18: You're exactly right, but it again underscores the President's commitment

706
00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:25,880
Speaker 18: to making America affordable again. You know, as the CEO

707
00:39:25,920 --> 00:39:28,040
Speaker 18: of Ford just said, this is going to allow them

708
00:39:28,080 --> 00:39:31,720
Speaker 18: to refocus their attention and reprioritize the importance of making

709
00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:34,960
Speaker 18: affordable vehicles right here in America, which means more American

710
00:39:35,040 --> 00:39:39,040
Speaker 18: jobs and more accessibility for these vehicles for everyday American consumers.

711
00:39:39,080 --> 00:39:42,840
Speaker 18: And so again President Trump is delivering on the promises

712
00:39:42,880 --> 00:39:44,920
Speaker 18: he made when he ran for president. This isn't a

713
00:39:44,960 --> 00:39:47,240
Speaker 18: surprise to many people who I think are paying attention,

714
00:39:47,440 --> 00:39:49,560
Speaker 18: but it's welcome news for many people who have felt

715
00:39:49,560 --> 00:39:52,080
Speaker 18: the brunt of, of course, the record high inflation that

716
00:39:52,080 --> 00:39:54,680
Speaker 18: we suffered under President Joe Biden. And I think it's

717
00:39:54,760 --> 00:39:57,600
Speaker 18: welcome news all across the board from people in every

718
00:39:57,600 --> 00:39:58,560
Speaker 18: corner of this country.

719
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:02,600
Speaker 3: Before you go, I played footage earlier in the week

720
00:40:02,760 --> 00:40:07,320
Speaker 3: of the White House Christmas decorations overseen by Milania Trump,

721
00:40:07,360 --> 00:40:10,239
Speaker 3: and it's quite a contrast to what we've seen in

722
00:40:10,280 --> 00:40:14,280
Speaker 3: recent years under the Biden administration, which features some fairly

723
00:40:14,360 --> 00:40:20,480
Speaker 3: bizarre decorations and performances. This year, it's a dramatic departure. Ceejay,

724
00:40:21,200 --> 00:40:24,000
Speaker 3: how do you see it? Do you miss the Biden

725
00:40:24,600 --> 00:40:28,080
Speaker 3: color and frivolity that we're seeing on one half of

726
00:40:28,160 --> 00:40:28,640
Speaker 3: the screen.

727
00:40:30,239 --> 00:40:31,520
Speaker 14: Well, rider, you know me.

728
00:40:31,640 --> 00:40:34,840
Speaker 18: You know there's nothing I missed about Joe Biden anyway whatsoever.

729
00:40:34,960 --> 00:40:36,560
Speaker 14: But I'll tell you about this now.

730
00:40:36,560 --> 00:40:39,080
Speaker 18: I look at these incredible decorations. What I see is

731
00:40:39,120 --> 00:40:42,120
Speaker 18: that we're not saying Happy Holidays anymore. We're saying Merry Christmas.

732
00:40:42,200 --> 00:40:44,480
Speaker 18: Christmas is back in the United States of America, and

733
00:40:44,520 --> 00:40:46,719
Speaker 18: President Trump has a played to keep on in that

734
00:40:46,960 --> 00:40:50,120
Speaker 18: as long, along with our incredible First Lady Malania Trump

735
00:40:50,160 --> 00:40:50,520
Speaker 18: as well.

736
00:40:51,920 --> 00:40:52,200
Speaker 2: C J.

737
00:40:52,360 --> 00:40:55,200
Speaker 3: Pearson. Thank you so much for your time. Tonight still

738
00:40:55,239 --> 00:40:58,520
Speaker 3: to come. The reviews are in for Megan Markle's Holiday

739
00:40:58,600 --> 00:41:03,000
Speaker 3: special and they're not good. Kinsey Schofield is up next.

740
00:41:11,960 --> 00:41:17,200
Speaker 3: Welcome back, joining me naw celebrity and royal commentator Kinsey Schofield. Kinsey,

741
00:41:17,320 --> 00:41:20,960
Speaker 3: let's start with some royal news. Meghan Markle's father, Thomas,

742
00:41:21,040 --> 00:41:24,680
Speaker 3: is in intensive care after emergency surgery. According to his

743
00:41:24,760 --> 00:41:29,200
Speaker 3: son Thomas Junior, he was undergoing scans and the doctors

744
00:41:29,239 --> 00:41:33,920
Speaker 3: said his life was in imminent danger. Kinsey, Thomas has

745
00:41:33,960 --> 00:41:38,240
Speaker 3: been a strange from Megan since her twenty eighteen marriage

746
00:41:38,239 --> 00:41:39,879
Speaker 3: to Prince Harry.

747
00:41:40,239 --> 00:41:42,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, and this is all unfolding here in the States.

748
00:41:42,840 --> 00:41:47,000
Speaker 5: On the same day, Megan released her family Less Holiday special.

749
00:41:47,120 --> 00:41:50,520
Speaker 5: She says the special features friends who feel like family,

750
00:41:50,560 --> 00:41:54,480
Speaker 5: which is convenient because she's running out of the other kind. Obviously,

751
00:41:54,520 --> 00:41:57,040
Speaker 5: our thoughts are with mister Markle, whose quality of life

752
00:41:57,080 --> 00:42:02,160
Speaker 5: has deteriorated thanks to the negative attention his daughter has

753
00:42:02,200 --> 00:42:04,880
Speaker 5: brought him, and you know Rita. One of the last

754
00:42:04,920 --> 00:42:07,440
Speaker 5: times he spoke to media, he said he'd loved to

755
00:42:07,480 --> 00:42:11,680
Speaker 5: meet his grandchildren before he dies, so heartbreaking. It's a

756
00:42:11,719 --> 00:42:14,040
Speaker 5: heartbreaking situation here around the holidays.

757
00:42:15,560 --> 00:42:18,080
Speaker 3: That is a very sad story, isn't it. And you're

758
00:42:18,200 --> 00:42:21,440
Speaker 3: right right from the very start, it was evident at

759
00:42:21,440 --> 00:42:24,839
Speaker 3: the wedding that it was no family there other than

760
00:42:24,880 --> 00:42:31,520
Speaker 3: Meghan's mom, her father, her siblings, cousins, aunties, uncles. That

761
00:42:31,680 --> 00:42:35,279
Speaker 3: there was just no family there, which always struck me

762
00:42:35,320 --> 00:42:38,600
Speaker 3: as very odd, indeed, particularly when she had these celebrity

763
00:42:38,680 --> 00:42:41,600
Speaker 3: friends that she had made five minutes ago, people who

764
00:42:41,680 --> 00:42:45,000
Speaker 3: said they didn't even know her, but they scored an invitation.

765
00:42:45,719 --> 00:42:50,040
Speaker 3: Now The Independent has delivered its verdict on Meghan Markle's

766
00:42:50,040 --> 00:42:53,920
Speaker 3: holiday special. It gave it one star out of five,

767
00:42:54,080 --> 00:42:58,880
Speaker 3: saying it was not fun, not enjoyable or even aspirational.

768
00:42:59,080 --> 00:43:03,960
Speaker 3: Kins Surely anything filmed in a beautiful mansion would at

769
00:43:04,040 --> 00:43:07,399
Speaker 3: least be aspirational. That's the easiest box to tick.

770
00:43:08,640 --> 00:43:11,200
Speaker 5: Well, you know what they say, money doesn't always buy Happiness,

771
00:43:11,480 --> 00:43:14,080
Speaker 5: but here are some of my other favorite reviews from

772
00:43:14,080 --> 00:43:18,040
Speaker 5: around the world. The Standard said, absolutely do not try

773
00:43:18,120 --> 00:43:20,880
Speaker 5: any of these crafts or recipes at home unless you

774
00:43:20,920 --> 00:43:24,399
Speaker 5: also want to have a nervous breakdown. The Guardian said,

775
00:43:24,520 --> 00:43:28,400
Speaker 5: with love Megan holiday special review, take Anti Naja Pell's

776
00:43:28,680 --> 00:43:32,200
Speaker 5: She's Back. And The Telegraph said joyless and fake. What

777
00:43:32,280 --> 00:43:34,080
Speaker 5: a strange person Megan is.

778
00:43:35,520 --> 00:43:39,520
Speaker 3: Joyless and fake. That is actually a very good summary

779
00:43:39,640 --> 00:43:43,680
Speaker 3: there in a few words. Now a new photo has

780
00:43:43,760 --> 00:43:47,600
Speaker 3: dropped of Princess Kate and Prince William. The couple shed

781
00:43:47,640 --> 00:43:51,399
Speaker 3: the image on social media before a state banquet at

782
00:43:51,440 --> 00:43:57,120
Speaker 3: Windsor Castle, and Kate's wearing their Queen Victoria's oriental tir.

783
00:43:57,640 --> 00:43:59,920
Speaker 3: That's I think the first time she's warned that kins

784
00:44:00,160 --> 00:44:03,920
Speaker 3: and she also wore a pair of the late Queen's

785
00:44:04,280 --> 00:44:08,320
Speaker 3: earrings like Queen Elizabeth. It is a pretty stunning image,

786
00:44:08,320 --> 00:44:08,680
Speaker 3: isn't it.

787
00:44:09,560 --> 00:44:09,799
Speaker 10: Yeah.

788
00:44:09,840 --> 00:44:12,239
Speaker 5: Tomorrow's front pages haven't dropped here in the Stage yet,

789
00:44:12,239 --> 00:44:14,759
Speaker 5: but they have dropped in the UK and despite the

790
00:44:14,800 --> 00:44:21,400
Speaker 5: previous activity we discussed a specific holiday special the Prince

791
00:44:21,400 --> 00:44:24,719
Speaker 5: and Princess of Wales, they are just dominating the front pages,

792
00:44:25,239 --> 00:44:30,040
Speaker 5: specifically Catherine with her glowing skin and that shimmering dress

793
00:44:30,320 --> 00:44:33,400
Speaker 5: and the Tierra you mentioned that we haven't seen. I

794
00:44:33,560 --> 00:44:36,640
Speaker 5: just think she's absolutely stunning in a really great reflection

795
00:44:36,800 --> 00:44:40,520
Speaker 5: on the working Royals, considering the fact that we can't

796
00:44:40,719 --> 00:44:44,400
Speaker 5: bump Prince Andrew and William and Harry and Meghan out

797
00:44:44,440 --> 00:44:45,040
Speaker 5: of the headlines.

798
00:44:45,120 --> 00:44:50,000
Speaker 3: Lately now, there have been many reports that Amy Schumer,

799
00:44:50,239 --> 00:44:54,680
Speaker 3: comic and actress Amy Schume, is considering divorcing her husband

800
00:44:54,800 --> 00:44:59,240
Speaker 3: following her weight loss journey. A source close to Page

801
00:44:59,280 --> 00:45:02,400
Speaker 3: Seeks said the marriage has reached a tipping point and

802
00:45:02,440 --> 00:45:05,320
Speaker 3: there is zero chance of it being salvage.

803
00:45:05,400 --> 00:45:08,680
Speaker 5: Kinsey, well, Rita, I mean, this does look like a

804
00:45:08,719 --> 00:45:09,560
Speaker 5: revenge body.

805
00:45:09,760 --> 00:45:10,560
Speaker 3: Let's be honest.

806
00:45:10,760 --> 00:45:13,480
Speaker 5: Sourso told The Daily Mail that Amy fears her marriage

807
00:45:13,520 --> 00:45:16,440
Speaker 5: is broken and despite attempts at making it work for

808
00:45:16,520 --> 00:45:19,080
Speaker 5: their young son, it just doesn't seem to be working.

809
00:45:19,480 --> 00:45:22,120
Speaker 5: They Daily Mail claims that Amy has been trying to

810
00:45:22,160 --> 00:45:25,080
Speaker 5: make it work for much of the year, but it

811
00:45:25,160 --> 00:45:28,360
Speaker 5: looks like, you know, she's telling close friends she doesn't

812
00:45:28,360 --> 00:45:32,200
Speaker 5: think it's repairrable. I do think she kind of likes

813
00:45:32,239 --> 00:45:36,400
Speaker 5: this attention, though, because she did recently correct journalists about

814
00:45:36,400 --> 00:45:40,280
Speaker 5: her weight loss, saying she's lost fifty pounds, not thirty.

815
00:45:40,360 --> 00:45:44,120
Speaker 5: And she is making you know, interesting snide comments on

816
00:45:44,160 --> 00:45:48,439
Speaker 5: social media about the status of her relationship. We didn't

817
00:45:48,440 --> 00:45:52,480
Speaker 5: see that with Nicole and Keith Urban. We don't you know,

818
00:45:52,520 --> 00:45:55,280
Speaker 5: you don't see that with couples that are not loving

819
00:45:55,320 --> 00:45:55,800
Speaker 5: the attention.

820
00:45:57,760 --> 00:46:00,760
Speaker 3: Now. Oprah Winfrey, who is in Australia or at the moment,

821
00:46:01,000 --> 00:46:04,600
Speaker 3: is facing backlash after she revealed she has gone no

822
00:46:04,800 --> 00:46:09,239
Speaker 3: contact with certain family members. She has been accused of

823
00:46:09,360 --> 00:46:13,440
Speaker 3: inappropriately framing the debate. When tackling this topic on her

824
00:46:13,520 --> 00:46:18,120
Speaker 3: podcast Kinsey, she said people are now redefining what healthy

825
00:46:18,200 --> 00:46:23,040
Speaker 3: boundaries look like in family dynamics. Did she explain why

826
00:46:23,120 --> 00:46:28,160
Speaker 3: she's gone no contact and who she has made this

827
00:46:28,280 --> 00:46:28,880
Speaker 3: call with.

828
00:46:30,120 --> 00:46:32,160
Speaker 5: Well, I had to do some research here. In her

829
00:46:32,160 --> 00:46:35,960
Speaker 5: twenty twenty book What Happened to You, Oprah revealed details

830
00:46:36,000 --> 00:46:39,080
Speaker 5: from her childhood and she says that her grandmother would

831
00:46:39,200 --> 00:46:42,960
Speaker 5: whip her over the smallest things, and she says that

832
00:46:43,000 --> 00:46:47,120
Speaker 5: those experiences turned her into a people pleaser who battled

833
00:46:47,120 --> 00:46:51,360
Speaker 5: with boundaries well into adulthood. I also know that she's

834
00:46:52,040 --> 00:46:54,840
Speaker 5: said that there's been some sexual assault in her history.

835
00:46:55,200 --> 00:46:58,680
Speaker 5: I'm assuming that these are the reasons why she's gone

836
00:46:58,760 --> 00:47:03,160
Speaker 5: no contact, but she doesn't explain it specifically in her conversation.

837
00:47:04,719 --> 00:47:08,400
Speaker 3: But she's in her seventies now, so I wouldn't imagine

838
00:47:09,400 --> 00:47:12,480
Speaker 3: her grandmother is long gone. It would be interesting to

839
00:47:12,560 --> 00:47:17,319
Speaker 3: know if this is something less serious, because as we

840
00:47:17,440 --> 00:47:22,320
Speaker 3: know it in America, there's an epidemic of people cutting

841
00:47:22,400 --> 00:47:26,239
Speaker 3: contact with their family over political differences. Kinsey, and that

842
00:47:26,360 --> 00:47:29,359
Speaker 3: is my and Megan Markle too, Megan Mirkle and then

843
00:47:29,360 --> 00:47:30,000
Speaker 3: you've got Megan.

844
00:47:31,120 --> 00:47:34,560
Speaker 5: Yeah. I think that that's a great question. I'd be

845
00:47:34,600 --> 00:47:37,720
Speaker 5: curious to know what the specifics are. But the argument

846
00:47:37,840 --> 00:47:40,640
Speaker 5: is that she's framing it like it's a trend, and

847
00:47:40,680 --> 00:47:43,000
Speaker 5: people are saying it's so much deeper and so much

848
00:47:43,000 --> 00:47:44,080
Speaker 5: more dangerous than that.

849
00:47:45,920 --> 00:47:50,560
Speaker 3: It is. And she's almost explaining as just resetting boundaries.

850
00:47:50,680 --> 00:47:54,320
Speaker 3: When you're cutting off family members, that's a fairly drastic

851
00:47:54,400 --> 00:47:58,080
Speaker 3: thing to do before you go just quickly. This story

852
00:47:58,120 --> 00:48:01,520
Speaker 3: is rather amusing. Defense Secretary, your war secretary, I should say.

853
00:48:01,560 --> 00:48:05,560
Speaker 3: Pete Hexett has posted an AI image of children's book

854
00:48:05,640 --> 00:48:09,239
Speaker 3: series Franklin. Have a look at this one of Franklin

855
00:48:09,360 --> 00:48:14,000
Speaker 3: shooting narco terrorist out of a Helicopter. The publisher has

856
00:48:14,560 --> 00:48:18,719
Speaker 3: defended the character as a beloved Canadian icon who has

857
00:48:18,760 --> 00:48:23,520
Speaker 3: inspired generations of children and stands for kindness, empathy and inclusivity.

858
00:48:24,200 --> 00:48:26,160
Speaker 3: What a pack of drainers, I mean, just go with

859
00:48:26,239 --> 00:48:29,640
Speaker 3: the joke. That should just be thankful that Pete Ezett

860
00:48:29,800 --> 00:48:31,440
Speaker 3: is giving them this free publicity.

861
00:48:32,280 --> 00:48:34,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, and Franklin doesn't want your kid today of a

862
00:48:34,400 --> 00:48:37,160
Speaker 5: drug overdose. I mean, I feel like that's something we

863
00:48:37,160 --> 00:48:39,360
Speaker 5: should all admire. But it's the perfect example of the

864
00:48:39,360 --> 00:48:41,799
Speaker 5: stress and effect what happens when you try to shut

865
00:48:41,840 --> 00:48:44,800
Speaker 5: something down and end up shining a spotlight on it instead.

866
00:48:44,880 --> 00:48:47,759
Speaker 5: They've brought even more attention to the meme than there

867
00:48:47,760 --> 00:48:49,320
Speaker 5: would have been had their steed silent.

868
00:48:50,760 --> 00:48:54,759
Speaker 3: Absolutely, and that's another option. Just stay silent. You don't

869
00:48:54,800 --> 00:48:57,759
Speaker 3: have to say anything. Kin Zisco, Phil, thank you so

870
00:48:57,920 --> 00:49:01,160
Speaker 3: much for your time tonight, and that's all the time

871
00:49:01,440 --> 00:49:04,520
Speaker 3: we have. I'll see you tomorrow night at nine pm.

872
00:49:04,600 --> 00:49:07,880
Speaker 3: Four Lefties Losing It Newsnight is up next.
