Speaker 1: On sky Leeds Australia. This is the Wider Panalty Show.
Speaker 2: Good evening and welcome to the Rita Panehy Show. Coming
Speaker 2: up tonight, a stellar lineup of guests covering the day's
Speaker 2: biggest stories. Gary Hartgrave with the latest on the election
Speaker 2: campaign and the David and Glyf battle in Queensland where
Speaker 2: the local community is fighting back against eight Renewables. Giant,
Speaker 2: the Great Douglas Murray will be with me shortly to
Speaker 2: discuss everything from the Middle East to the Netflix series Adolescence,
Speaker 2: and Army Horowitz will have the latest from the US
Speaker 2: and Left is Losing. It features a Star Wars actor
Speaker 2: bagging Star Wars were being too white.
Speaker 3: Star Wars always had the viable being in the most
Speaker 3: whitest elite space. This is a franchise, so why that's
Speaker 3: like a black person existing in that was something.
Speaker 2: But first a massive blow for the Albanezy government today
Speaker 2: after Donald Trump's a base tariff rate of ten percent
Speaker 2: on Australia as part of Liberation Day.
Speaker 4: With today's actions, we're also standing up for our great
Speaker 4: farmers and ranchers who are brutalized by nations all over
Speaker 4: the World's brutalized Canada, by the way, imposes a two
Speaker 4: hundred and fifty to three hundred percent tariff on many
Speaker 4: of our dairy products. Australia bands and they're wonderful people
Speaker 4: and wonderful everything, but they ban American beef. Yet we
Speaker 4: imported three billion dollars of Australian beef from them just
Speaker 4: last year alone.
Speaker 2: The Prime Minister had this to say in response.
Speaker 5: The administration's tariffs have no basis in logic and they
Speaker 5: go against the basis of our two nations partnership.
Speaker 6: This is not the act of a friend.
Speaker 2: And this is how Opposition leader Peter Darton responded.
Speaker 7: The focus that we should have as a gount term
Speaker 7: and as an alternative government is to do a deal
Speaker 7: on that as quickly as possible so that we can
Speaker 7: reduce the impact on Australians, on our industry and on
Speaker 7: our export capability.
Speaker 2: Joining me now for more on this as Sky News
Speaker 2: contributor Gary Hardgrave, Gary, none of this should be a surprise.
Speaker 2: This is the America First policy Trump campaigned on, and
Speaker 2: the Alberanzi government has botched the response. Donald Trump is
Speaker 2: not even taking Anthony Albernizi's phone calls. He'd know well
Speaker 2: what Australian politicians, including the Prime Minister and his ministers,
Speaker 2: have said about him over the years, and that hasn't
Speaker 2: helped our case.
Speaker 5: Look at it hasn't. There's no doubt about that. There
Speaker 5: is not a strong relationship between this prime minister and
Speaker 5: that president, and it's been set up by this Prime
Speaker 5: minister the blurting of all sorts of insights to him
Speaker 5: years ago as just really coming home to rust. But
Speaker 5: we also started a lot of this. You know, we
Speaker 5: started to bring in things like a GST on imported
Speaker 5: items that you brought through on mail ord out of
Speaker 5: places like the United States. So you know, from their
Speaker 5: point of view, they're saying, well, you know, you brought
Speaker 5: in a ten percent terrify on us, which is what
Speaker 5: basically they're seeing it as.
Speaker 8: So here's what on you.
Speaker 5: Look, you know, our farmers are in real peril and
Speaker 5: we should, I think, move this conversation onto what is
Speaker 5: really coming their way. The real cost to our farmers
Speaker 5: is the high cost of electricity, the high cost of
Speaker 5: government regulation and red tape. This is a government, the
Speaker 5: other and easy government that likes to just find new
Speaker 5: taxes to hurt people in new ways. They really don't
Speaker 5: have any commitment to the agricultural sector. For instance, they're
Speaker 5: talking about the same thing Kamala Harris talked about last year,
Speaker 5: and that is to have an unrealized capital gains tax.
Speaker 5: What's the first thing that they're targeting farmers. So if
Speaker 5: you own a block of dirt and you gras on it,
Speaker 5: the tax office each year is going to actually look
Speaker 5: and say what the value of that dirt is, and
Speaker 5: by the way, we're going to take up percent off you.
Speaker 5: These are the sorts of things we've got to get
Speaker 5: rid of that and cheaper electricity prices. And until we do,
Speaker 5: and until we put Australia first, then frankly, we really
Speaker 5: have nothing to complain about. I mean, the Americans are
Speaker 5: looking after themselves. I don't like what Trump's done, but
Speaker 5: he's looking after himself. It's playing well in America until
Speaker 5: I guess the price of Big Mexico up. It probably will.
Speaker 8: But reader, we are.
Speaker 5: Sitting lazily expecting the world to make a living for us.
Speaker 5: And until we start to look at how government costs
Speaker 5: and electricity prices are damaging all things in the supply chain,
Speaker 5: the production chain in this country. I don't think we're serious.
Speaker 5: The Prime Minister doesn't want you to look at that.
Speaker 5: He says, pick on Trump and vote against Darton to
Speaker 5: send a message to Trump. This is crazy politics. Crazy
Speaker 5: it is.
Speaker 2: It is crazy policy. It's infantile. It's aimed at the
Speaker 2: low information voter. But we need an Australia first policy
Speaker 2: right here and starting with our energy policy. That would
Speaker 2: be fantastic to see. I'll be speaking to Army Horowitz
Speaker 2: shortly about the tariffs a little bit more and what's
Speaker 2: to come next Now to what is being described in
Speaker 2: the Australian newspaper as the ultimate David versus Goliath case.
Speaker 2: Rainforest Reserves Australia, a small charity based in North Queensland,
Speaker 2: is taking the Federal government and an Andrew Forest Back
Speaker 2: Renewable Energy Company to court over a plan sixty nine
Speaker 2: turbine wind farm, located five kilometers from the Wet Tropics
Speaker 2: World Heritage Area, Gary. This project is set to involve
Speaker 2: the clearing of around six hundred hectares of land home
Speaker 2: to koalas and others vulnerable species. How did the Environment
Speaker 2: Minister Tania Plevisek ever approve this project.
Speaker 5: Well, amongst the many projects he approved within days of
Speaker 5: becoming the minister. This project stands out. There's another one
Speaker 5: near Low Discreek, northwest of Rockhampton. I spoke to a conservationist,
Speaker 5: a photographer yesterday on the radio on FOROURBC here in
Speaker 5: Brisbane and he made that point that one hundred and
Speaker 5: eighty koalas have already been displaced and there is a
Speaker 5: project to put up twenty five million dollar wind turbines.
Speaker 5: This project is costing everybody a lot of money through
Speaker 5: higher electricity prices, but it's killing and wiping off the
Speaker 5: tops of mountains because there's not a great lot of
Speaker 5: breeze on the plains in Queensland compared to some other
Speaker 5: parts of the world. And yet they're applying a European
Speaker 5: standard to Australia. So they lock the top off the mountains,
Speaker 5: they kill off the koala habitat, they pollute the creeks
Speaker 5: with all the debris that gets thrown down in the creeks,
Speaker 5: that washes out on the Great Barrier reef, and reader
Speaker 5: they don't have to follow any of the environmental laws.
Speaker 5: Every farmer, every householder, every other council whatever around Australia
Speaker 5: has to follow. Renewable energy prietors can do what they
Speaker 5: done well, like to the environment and the federal government
Speaker 5: Pliversec in particular Bowhen as well, but Elbows allowing it
Speaker 5: to happen have just signed off on it. They just
Speaker 5: don't get it. And the one at Lotus Creek near
Speaker 5: Rockhampton is going to produce zero point five of a
Speaker 5: percent of the electricity needs of Queensland. This is just
Speaker 5: parendous and we should be angry about it.
Speaker 2: Absolutely. And to see Tony Pliversec approved a renewal project
Speaker 2: like this is just going to destroy hundreds of hectares
Speaker 2: of forests. But she then rejects a billion dollar gold
Speaker 2: mine on the basis of a contested indigenous blue banded
Speaker 2: b story, a project that would have provided hundreds of
Speaker 2: millions in royalties to the New South Wales government, hundreds
Speaker 2: of well paid jobs in a regional area that desperately
Speaker 2: needs it. It is madness. Now before you go, I'm
Speaker 2: interested in your take on this. Watch here. As a
Speaker 2: female fencer, Stephanie Turner was immediately disqualified and expelled from
Speaker 2: a USA fencing event after she refused to compete against
Speaker 2: a transgender oppoement, Redmond Sullivan, who used to compete in
Speaker 2: the men's competition. She took her knee. Gary, I absolutely
Speaker 2: applaud her stance here. Every female athlete should do something similar.
Speaker 2: Shame on the sporting body there for punishing her the
Speaker 2: way they have. But it is just patently unfair to
Speaker 2: expect a female athlete to compete at an elite level,
Speaker 2: any level, against a competitor that identifies as female but
Speaker 2: is biologically male.
Speaker 5: Yeah, she's a new hero reader. I found this out
Speaker 5: at primary school. Well, you know, in year three, the
Speaker 5: boys didn't compete against the girls. The girls had their
Speaker 5: comp the boys had theirs. Because the boys, we're going
Speaker 5: to play a different game to the girls. What's changed,
Speaker 5: Nothing except the wokeness that's destroying civil society across the West.
Speaker 1: It's crazy stuff.
Speaker 2: Gary Hardgrove, thank you so much for your time. Joining
Speaker 2: me now is best selling author Douglas Murray. His latest
Speaker 2: book on democracies and death cults, Israel and the Future
Speaker 2: of Civilization, will be released in just a few days. Douglas,
Speaker 2: Let's start in the US, where President Trump has declared
Speaker 2: today Liberation Day as he imposes reciprocal tariffs on countries
Speaker 2: including Australia. Meanwhile, the Democrats post election meltdown is reaching
Speaker 2: new lows with Corey Booker's twenty five hour anti Trump speech.
Speaker 9: I confess that I've been inadequate to the moment. I
Speaker 9: confess that the Democratic Party has made terrible mistakes that
Speaker 9: it given wayne to this demogogue Douglas.
Speaker 2: Where you left inspired by that record breaking performance.
Speaker 6: Well, I was slightly in awe of Corey Booker's vervocity.
Speaker 6: It's obviously remarkable even for him to be able to
Speaker 6: sustain that for twenty five hours. Of course, however, everyone
Speaker 6: knows filibusters are effectually the.
Speaker 1: Weakest form of politics.
Speaker 6: They don't rely on argument, they don't rely on persuasion,
Speaker 6: they don't rely on reason, They rely on a kind
Speaker 6: of rhetorical brute force and the longevity of the speaker.
Speaker 6: I mean, it's a remarkable thing to see this applauded
Speaker 6: as we've just seen there. It's a feat, as I say,
Speaker 6: but it's also a defeat. It's a defeat because the
Speaker 6: Democrats should be able to be coming up with their
Speaker 6: own arguments and their own policies that could persuade the
Speaker 6: American electorate in a little under two years time. That
Speaker 6: they deserve to have control of the House and the Senate.
Speaker 6: And nothing that we've heard from the Democrats really since
Speaker 6: the election of Donald Trump has been anything really other
Speaker 6: than a kind of filibustering and a sort of online
Speaker 6: attention seeking. There's no meat to the bone of anything
Speaker 6: they've said. It's just this kind of It's not even politics,
Speaker 6: is it. It's just a sort of student grade rebellion.
Speaker 2: It's performative, isn't it. It's a bit of a performance
Speaker 2: element to it. And it's no surprise that the Democrats
Speaker 2: in Congress right now have a twenty one percent approval rating,
Speaker 2: another record there, and the left in the US seems
Speaker 2: to be in crisis. They keep listening to the most
Speaker 2: voices in and out of the party. And Ellie Misstelle
Speaker 2: maybe an example.
Speaker 10: Every law passed before in the nineteen sixty five Voting
Speaker 10: Rights Act should be presumptively unconstitutional. Right, But because before
Speaker 10: the nineteen sixty five Voting Rights Act we were functionally
Speaker 10: in apartheid country, not everybody who lived here could vote here,
Speaker 10: So why should I give about some law that some
Speaker 10: old white men passed in the nineteen twenties.
Speaker 2: Of course, the view makes another appearance. What do you
Speaker 2: make of that call Douglas laws written by old white
Speaker 2: men in the nineteen twenties, Well, that should just be disregarded.
Speaker 6: I always like to when you see performative idiots like
Speaker 6: that doing their thing, I always like to sort of
Speaker 6: try and just take it and see if it would
Speaker 6: work any other way around.
Speaker 1: Is there any country on earth that you would allow.
Speaker 6: Someone to say these laws don't matter because they were
Speaker 6: written by black men.
Speaker 1: I can't think of it.
Speaker 6: It would see rather distasteful, my ears. It would sound
Speaker 6: rather demogogic. Rather even you might say racist. Why is
Speaker 6: it that someone like this clown thinks and he only
Speaker 6: gets a career because this is basically his only shtick
Speaker 6: is he thinks that if he's as racist as possible
Speaker 6: against white people and keeps sort of reminding everyone that
Speaker 6: he's black, that he somehow wins.
Speaker 1: But that isn't an argument. That's just racist demagoguery.
Speaker 6: And as I say, you know, find me a place
Speaker 6: where dismissing old black men, for instance, was regarded as
Speaker 6: being a good argument, a reasonable argument, a persuasive argument.
Speaker 6: This guy is as ridiculous as he looks, And I
Speaker 6: don't think we need to pay much heed to him.
Speaker 6: He's dismissed himself by the words he uses and by
Speaker 6: the racism that he likes to scream.
Speaker 2: Yes, whilst supposedly fighting racism. Now, let's talk about the
Speaker 2: Middle East, and there are growing fears that if world
Speaker 2: powers are unable to quickly reach a new agreement with
Speaker 2: the Iranian regime over its nuclear program, then a military
Speaker 2: confrontation is almost inevitable. There are reports that the US
Speaker 2: and Israel are coordinating a major strike against Iran, and
Speaker 2: it all depends on whether Tehran will come to the
Speaker 2: negotiation negotiating table. Douglas. Iran's denies it's seeking nuclear weapons,
Speaker 2: but Western powers know well that the nuclear program is
Speaker 2: just a disguised effort to develop a bomb and atomic bomb,
Speaker 2: and the Iranian regime is crazy enough to actually use it.
Speaker 6: Yes, I mean as the Iranian revolutionary governments pretends that
Speaker 6: it's simply seeking weapons raid uranium in order to build
Speaker 6: a civilian and nuclear energy facility is something that nobody
Speaker 6: but an apologist for the regime could possibly agree with.
Speaker 1: It's been trying to get a nuclear bomb for many
Speaker 1: years now.
Speaker 6: The only reason that it hasn't is because of significant
Speaker 6: largely covert action taken against them that has slowed that
Speaker 6: weapons program down.
Speaker 1: If the crazy uranium mullahs.
Speaker 6: In Tehran actually ever did get a weapon, the world
Speaker 6: would be the Middle East and then the wider world
Speaker 6: would be an incredibly peralleous situation, the most dangerous situation
Speaker 6: we've been in since nineteen forty five, because nobody knows
Speaker 6: how you do nuclear detone, that is nuclear deterrence against
Speaker 6: an end times Harmanist ideologue regime like that which has
Speaker 6: been a pressing Iran for the last forty something years.
Speaker 1: It's an incredibly dangerous corner. It has.
Speaker 6: It's been a corner that we've been at for many years.
Speaker 6: One of the remarkable things, many remarkable things that the
Speaker 6: Shiai extremists in Tehran have been doing just in recent days,
Speaker 6: has been that members of that so called government have
Speaker 6: been threatening the United States, threatening the United States with
Speaker 6: Italian with Iranian retaliation, with Iranian retaliation if the Americans.
Speaker 1: Don't do what they want.
Speaker 6: Clearly, the revolutionary Islamic government in Iran thinks it holds
Speaker 6: the cards here, but nobody could really say it does.
Speaker 6: But if people love the rhetoric that comes out of
Speaker 6: Tehran and has been coming out of Tehran since nineteen
Speaker 6: seventy nine. If they love the rhetoric that comes out
Speaker 6: of it at the moment, you know, the death to America,
Speaker 6: death of the Infidels stuff, they'll love how the revolutionary
Speaker 6: Islamic government and Terran behaves if it never had a
Speaker 6: nuclear bomb.
Speaker 2: Well, you just do not know what they are capable of.
Speaker 2: You look at how they have oppressed and brutalized their
Speaker 2: own population, as you've said, for more than forty years
Speaker 2: since the Islamic Revolution, and that is one regime that
Speaker 2: if they had the bomb, they may well use it.
Speaker 2: Let's go to the UK now and the bizarre influence
Speaker 2: of a Netflix series that this Netflix series seems to
Speaker 2: be setting government policy. Kissed Starma released this two minute
Speaker 2: video announcing that the series Adolescence would be free in
Speaker 2: secondary schools across the UK and Douglas Labor is using
Speaker 2: this drama and it is a drama about young men
Speaker 2: being radicalized online to help but formulate policy.
Speaker 1: It's an extraordinary thing.
Speaker 6: Kirs Starmer has been laboring under the misapprehension that the
Speaker 6: Netflix series Adolescence is in fact a documentary. It's true
Speaker 6: that it's filmed rather documentary style, but you'd have to
Speaker 6: be pretty idiotic to think that's what it is. It
Speaker 6: could have just been a slip of the tongue by
Speaker 6: kids Starmer.
Speaker 1: What's not a slip of the tongue.
Speaker 6: Is treating it as if this semi interesting, very well
Speaker 6: acted series is the sort of thing you should announce
Speaker 6: government policy on the back of. I mean, here's a
Speaker 6: really strange thing about this. Kiss Starmer and other British
Speaker 6: politicians trying to leap on the sort of Netflix binge
Speaker 6: bandwagon have been behaving as if we have an epidemic
Speaker 6: in the UK of thirteen year old white boys stabbing
Speaker 6: girls because of Andrew tape videos they've seen online and
Speaker 6: I don't know what fantasy world they live in. There
Speaker 6: are all sorts of concerns people should have about online
Speaker 6: content and young people's access to it.
Speaker 1: They are all sorts of.
Speaker 6: Concerns people should have about certain online influencers pushing very
Speaker 6: very ugly ideas about women and misleading them in the
Speaker 6: early informative years of their lives. But you know, the
Speaker 6: thing that everyone has just ignored is the fact that
Speaker 6: that isn't an epidemic in the UK. The UK, by
Speaker 6: the way, is very good at moral panics about things
Speaker 6: that don't exist. About what Twelve years ago we had
Speaker 6: the moral panic led by people like LBC in London
Speaker 6: that a secret cabal of prominent military and political chiefs
Speaker 6: had been getting together for years to rape and mutilate
Speaker 6: and murder children.
Speaker 9: And guess what.
Speaker 6: It turned out not to be true. It turned out
Speaker 6: that one person who it was himself subsequently convicted of
Speaker 6: pedophile offenses, had made.
Speaker 8: It all up.
Speaker 1: But the British media and indeed parliamentarians.
Speaker 6: Went for it.
Speaker 1: They went in this massive moral panic.
Speaker 6: Ah, are our generals and former cabinet ministers a secret
Speaker 6: pedophile about?
Speaker 1: The Britain is very.
Speaker 6: Used to this sort of thing in the modern ere.
Speaker 6: It seems uniquely vulnerable to it. But here's a challenge
Speaker 6: to Netflix and indeed to Kire Starmer. We do have
Speaker 6: an epidemic of knife crime in the UK, and we
Speaker 6: have an epidemic of it in the capital city of London.
Speaker 6: And you know, if you look at the knife crime
Speaker 6: statistics in London in recent years, you see a very
Speaker 6: alarming thing. Indeed, black on black young gang violence in
Speaker 6: the capital city of the UK has been an.
Speaker 1: Actual epidemic in recent years.
Speaker 6: The majority of knife crimes committed in London is committed
Speaker 6: by young black men.
Speaker 1: Now they formed.
Speaker 6: The black community in London is around thirteen percent of
Speaker 6: the population, but they have consistently in recent years represent
Speaker 6: more than sixty percent of people committing knife crimes. And
Speaker 6: guess who the largest number of people are who are
Speaker 6: on the receiving ends of those knives and machetes, other
Speaker 6: young black men. That's a real epidemic and it's a
Speaker 6: real problem. It's something that's actually going on. But you know,
Speaker 6: I bet we could hold our breath for the moment
Speaker 6: that Netflix will decide to address that, and we'll have
Speaker 6: to hold our breath until the Prime Minister addresses it,
Speaker 6: because neither the Prime Minister nor the highly distracted Mayor
Speaker 6: of London, Sadik Khan, have done.
Speaker 1: Anything to address this. They don't even care to talk
Speaker 1: about it.
Speaker 6: There will be no Netflix documentary that Starmer or Khan
Speaker 6: can see that people should watch in British schools about
Speaker 6: black on black gang violence because it's a real thing.
Speaker 1: It'll never get made and they'll continue to cover it up.
Speaker 2: Absolutely. Or perhaps a Netflix series on young men being
Speaker 2: radicalized by Bislamists. We've had several stabbings because of that.
Speaker 2: Allegedly we've got one before the courts right now. And
Speaker 2: also the entire grooming gang scandal. I mean, where's the
Speaker 2: Netflix series on that. These are real epidemics that have
Speaker 2: occurred in the UK and they're ignored and supposedly, ye
Speaker 2: thirteen year old white boys are a danger to the nation.
Speaker 2: Before you go over, got to ask you about Prince Harry.
Speaker 2: His charity center Bali is in turmoil. The Duke of
Speaker 2: Sussex has stepped away from the charity last week as
Speaker 2: the the head of the foundation accused him of harassment
Speaker 2: and bullying at Scale and Douglas. You won't be shocked
Speaker 2: to learn that a lot of the turmoil is supposedly
Speaker 2: due to Meghan. Harry reportedly sent an angry message to
Speaker 2: the charity head because she had refused to defend Meghan
Speaker 2: Markel following these embarrassing scenes at a charity polo match
Speaker 2: in April twenty twenty four. This is not a good
Speaker 2: look for Prince Harry, is it.
Speaker 6: I mean, nothing says down to Earth more than a
Speaker 6: row over a polo tournament.
Speaker 1: It's very ugly.
Speaker 6: I have to say, because somebody observed today in the
Speaker 6: Spectator magazine, most of these Harry Meghan scandals are sort
Speaker 6: of a scandal that occurs, or something very unways that occurs,
Speaker 6: and it just sort.
Speaker 1: Of diminishes over time.
Speaker 6: Unfortunately, the charity from the Soto who Prince Harry was
Speaker 6: involved with very nobly to have done. So everything we've
Speaker 6: actually found out about the breakdown of relationships between him
Speaker 6: and his own charity, it just gets worse and worse,
Speaker 6: and all of the information that's coming out from that
Speaker 6: charity of the people in Africa have actually been.
Speaker 1: Involved with it is more and more concerned.
Speaker 6: There is one upside, of course to the Prince, the
Speaker 6: Duke and indeed his Duchess, which is that if the
Speaker 6: bad news keeps on coming out, at least they've got
Speaker 6: Meghan's latest invention to console them. Because I don't know
Speaker 6: if you've noticed a Rita, but Meghan has not been
Speaker 6: silent in recent times.
Speaker 1: She's been working on something, a.
Speaker 6: Totally new thing, and it's called jam, and she is
Speaker 6: selling jam and it seems to be, in herview, almost
Speaker 6: the first time that anyone's made jam. And you can
Speaker 6: buy Meghan Jam and It's apparently absolutely delicious according to Meghan,
Speaker 6: and so if the dire media stories continue, at least
Speaker 6: the Sussexes console themselves with a lovely pot of original
Speaker 6: jam that's definitely made with Meghan's own hands.
Speaker 2: Yes, that's that's really how we're going to solve world peace.
Speaker 2: I think one jam jar at a time. Douglas Murray,
Speaker 2: thank you so much for your time tonight. Thank you
Speaker 2: still to come left these losing it. Plus we'll have
Speaker 2: the latest from the US where today Mega became Mawah
Speaker 2: Naked America wealthy again. The horror Witz has the details.
Speaker 2: Welcome back. It's time for lefties losing it. I must
Speaker 2: confess I have never seen a Star Wars film or
Speaker 2: Star Trek film. Couldn't tell you if there is a
Speaker 2: difference between the two. And it's just as well that
Speaker 2: I have been spared these movies because, according to the
Speaker 2: lefty star of the latest franchise, John Boyega, Star Wars
Speaker 2: fans are racist, white elitist and the film has occupied
Speaker 2: the whitest space they're pandering.
Speaker 3: Let me tell you, Star Wars always had the viable
Speaker 3: being in the most whitest elite space. This is a
Speaker 3: franchise is so white that it's like a black person
Speaker 3: existing in That was something and you can always tell
Speaker 3: it something. When some Star Wars fans tried to say, well,
Speaker 3: you know, we had Lando Calrissian and had Sammie l.
Speaker 1: Jackson, it's like telling.
Speaker 3: Me how many cookie chips are on the cookie though
Speaker 3: I'm like, brother, it's just they just that in.
Speaker 1: Their broad they're okay with us playing the best friend.
Speaker 3: But once we touched the heroes, once we leave, once
Speaker 3: we Trailblazers, like, oh my god, it's just a bit
Speaker 3: too much.
Speaker 2: Now, feel like a cookie. That was a bit of
Speaker 2: a odd analogy, wasn't it? To DC now, where Republican
Speaker 2: politicians are fighting back against the soy boy lefty protesters
Speaker 2: and they are being savage. Here is Tim Burchett.
Speaker 5: Do you trust some.
Speaker 6: From's National security team to keep our work plan on
Speaker 6: this top secret?
Speaker 7: Do you trust your mother every night to fix your
Speaker 7: hot pockets and make sure your game boy is turned on?
Speaker 2: Oh my word, he said, Do you trust your mama
Speaker 2: Avery and I to fix your hot pockets and make
Speaker 2: sure your game boy is turned on? Brilliant? Brilliant. And
Speaker 2: here is Jim Banks being accosted by a left wing
Speaker 2: activists who has been sacked from his tax pay role.
Speaker 8: Hi.
Speaker 11: I was a worker at HHS, so I was fired
Speaker 11: illegally on February fourteenth.
Speaker 12: Are there many people who are not getting social service,
Speaker 12: especially people with disabilities?
Speaker 10: Are you going to do anything to stop what's happening?
Speaker 8: You probably deserved it.
Speaker 1: I deserved it. I deserved it. Wow.
Speaker 12: Yeah, that's great to hear.
Speaker 1: Why why did I deserve it?
Speaker 12: Because you seem like a clown?
Speaker 13: Okay, sir, you shouldn't have said that.
Speaker 2: Oh, he shouldn't have said that. I bet he's really
Speaker 2: sorry now that there is a medium meltdown about that interaction.
Speaker 2: Just how sorry are you, Jim?
Speaker 1: I won't back down.
Speaker 12: I won't apologize for it. I support President Trump and
Speaker 12: the DOGE effort one hundred percent to cut wasteful spending
Speaker 12: and woke jobs out of the federal government.
Speaker 1: And we're just getting started.
Speaker 12: The Democrats and the left wing media have lost their
Speaker 12: minds because I told a left wing activist in the
Speaker 12: halls of the Senate office buildings yesterday what I really
Speaker 12: thought a clown is a clown who's chasing senators through
Speaker 12: the halls with a cell phone complaining about losing a
Speaker 12: left wing, woke job in the federal government that have
Speaker 12: never been a job to begin with.
Speaker 2: He is not sorry at all, and nor should he be,
Speaker 2: because despite the media lies, the Department of Government Efficiency
Speaker 2: is not cutting welfare other than to one hundred and
Speaker 2: fifty year old recipients. Watch this CNN host Abby Phillips
Speaker 2: being fact checked on our own program.
Speaker 13: He came to the state, he talked about cutting medicaid,
Speaker 13: social security through DOGE bring those issues up, actually never talked.
Speaker 8: He explicitly said agree he would not cut some security.
Speaker 8: We exactly what he said at his rally. No other
Speaker 8: people said about that, but I was there. I watched him.
Speaker 13: He did not say other people at his rallies, who
Speaker 13: work for dogs, who worked for Elon Musk's organization, talked
Speaker 13: about those issues.
Speaker 8: No, I was at the rally. They said that. That's
Speaker 8: what protesters said, but nobody there actually. So you think
Speaker 8: that there are risks here, there are people believe the
Speaker 8: lives of That's not at all what they said. If
Speaker 8: people believe that medicaid medicares can be touched, that's a flat, right,
Speaker 8: upright life. What he talked about are people whoever one
Speaker 8: hundred twenty years old? Wow, clearly or not all the lies?
Speaker 2: They're not even alive, Abby, They're not even alive one
Speaker 2: hundred and twenty year old welfare recipients. Meanwhile, the Democrats
Speaker 2: are embarrassing themselves with more meltdowns. The post election mass
Speaker 2: meltdown has not stopped. Watch here as Senator Corey Booker
Speaker 2: manages to speak for twenty five hours straight in a
Speaker 2: completely pointless filibuster, A twenty five hour, NonStop tantrum about
Speaker 2: Donald Trump Elon Musk. It is embarrassing.
Speaker 9: What do I want for my fellow Americans? Do better
Speaker 9: than me, do better than we in this body. We
Speaker 9: are flawed and failed people. When is it going to
Speaker 9: be enough? My voice is inadequate, My efforts today are
Speaker 9: inadequate to stop what they're trying to do. But we
Speaker 9: the people are powerful, We are strong. We have changed history,
Speaker 9: we have bet the arc of the moral universe. And
Speaker 9: now is that moral moment again? It's the moral moment again.
Speaker 9: God bless America.
Speaker 10: We need you now.
Speaker 2: Just hours upon hours of blustering, performative craziness, not even
Speaker 2: a toilet break throughout all that. I wonder if it
Speaker 2: was wearing an adult nappy, and they wonder why the
Speaker 2: Democrats in Congress have an approval rating of twenty one percent.
Speaker 2: Now to another delicious case of instant coma. Let's first
Speaker 2: listen to this lefty boast about his hacking and doxing
Speaker 2: efforts against Conservatives.
Speaker 1: Yes, I docked the truckers.
Speaker 10: I did it.
Speaker 14: It was me.
Speaker 1: I had to give some go baby, and I do
Speaker 1: it again?
Speaker 14: Can I do it times?
Speaker 1: I did it? I did it.
Speaker 8: Come at me?
Speaker 2: What are you to do? What are you to do today?
Speaker 2: What are you gonna do to me?
Speaker 14: Well?
Speaker 2: Charge you with various offenses.
Speaker 15: Arrested in charged with stealing data from the Texas Republican Party.
Speaker 15: According to a press release from the Department of Justice,
Speaker 15: thirty seven year old Aubrey Cottle faces multiple charges after
Speaker 15: allegedly hacking texasgp dot org back in twenty twenty one.
Speaker 15: Cottle is accused of downloading a backup of the web
Speaker 15: server and sharing personal and other sensitive information. The charges
Speaker 15: were filed in an Austin federal court. If convicted, he
Speaker 15: faces five years in prison in the US and could
Speaker 15: also face additional charges in Canada.
Speaker 2: Now today was sdopped Liberation day when Mega became MAWA
Speaker 2: make America Wealthy again.
Speaker 4: April second, twenty twenty five will forever be remembered as
Speaker 4: the day American industry was reborn, the day America's destiny
Speaker 4: was reclaimed, and the day that we began and to
Speaker 4: make America wealthy again.
Speaker 8: Going to make it wealthy, good, and wealthy.
Speaker 2: And President Trump emphasized this is about equality. America will
Speaker 2: no longer be enriching the world at the expense of
Speaker 2: its own industries and citizens.
Speaker 4: It's our declaration of economic independence. For years hard work
Speaker 4: in American citizens were forced to sit on the sidelines
Speaker 4: as other nations got rich and powerful, much of it
Speaker 4: at our expense. But now it's our turn to prosper
Speaker 4: and in so doing, use trillions and trillions of dollars
Speaker 4: to reduce our taxes and pay down our national debt.
Speaker 4: And it'll all happen very quickly.
Speaker 2: And this message is nothing new. Donald Trump campaigned on it.
Speaker 2: It underpins the America First philosophy behind the entire Trump phenomenon,
Speaker 2: and indeed he's been talking about it for decades. Here
Speaker 2: he is talking about this back in nineteen eighty eight.
Speaker 2: What would you do differently, Donald.
Speaker 16: I'd make our allies forgetting about the enemies, the enemies
Speaker 16: you can't talk to so easily. I'd make our allies
Speaker 16: pay their fair share. It's not free trade. If you
Speaker 16: ever go to Japan right now and try to sell something,
Speaker 16: forget about it, open, just forget about it. It's almost impossible.
Speaker 16: They don't have laws against it. They just make it impossible.
Speaker 16: They come over here, they sell their cars, their VCRs.
Speaker 16: They knock the hell out of our companies. And hey,
Speaker 16: I have tremendous respect for the Japanese people. I mean,
Speaker 16: you can respect somebody that's beating the hell out of you,
Speaker 16: But they are beating the hell out of this country Kuwait.
Speaker 16: They live like kings. The poorest person in Kuwait they
Speaker 16: live like kings. And yet they're not paying. We make
Speaker 16: it possible for them to sell their oil. Why aren't
Speaker 16: they paying us twenty five percent of what they're making.
Speaker 8: It's a joke.
Speaker 2: Joining Mena's journalist and filmmaker Army Horoi's army. Much of
Speaker 2: the world, including right here in Australia, they're all acting
Speaker 2: shocked by today's announcement, but none of this should be
Speaker 2: a surprise.
Speaker 11: Yeah, no, it's not a surprise. Look, how I feel
Speaker 11: about this really depends on really what's going on, and
Speaker 11: it's not one hundred percent clear exactly what the goal
Speaker 11: of the administration is. I think it will become clear
Speaker 11: over a period of time if this is it depends
Speaker 11: if it's tactical or strategic. I mean by that is,
Speaker 11: if this is a tactic, a tactic in order to
Speaker 11: get our partners to have fair trade, to stop dumping,
Speaker 11: to lower their tariffs, then I'm all for it. If
Speaker 11: it is strategic in the sense that this is an
Speaker 11: underpinning of a general economic philosophy that we have a
Speaker 11: problem here, and I think hearing mixed messages coming from administration.
Speaker 11: So look take Asia for example. So if you're talking
Speaker 11: about tariffing China, right the tariffs US that dumps their
Speaker 11: steel here, I'm all for that. But then you look
Speaker 11: at the tariffs that we're putting on Japan and Taiwan,
Speaker 11: who have very low teriff rates on US. It doesn't
Speaker 11: make any sense, right, It's actually going to hinder a
Speaker 11: trade with vital partnerships. If what Peter Nirvarro has been
Speaker 11: saying is in fact the philosophy of the administration, we
Speaker 11: have a problem. Peter Rivaro Vavarro is saying that that
Speaker 11: there's an actual adoration for tariffs themselves. He's saying tariffs
Speaker 11: are a driver of revenue, driver of jobs.
Speaker 8: He's gonna gonna cut our deficit.
Speaker 11: If that's actually the underpinnings of what they're doing, I'm
Speaker 11: not here for that, okay. It is If this is
Speaker 11: an admiration for tariffs themselves as an economic policy, that's
Speaker 11: a note for me, dog, because all that's going to
Speaker 11: do is create neo mercantilism. Again, trade is not a
Speaker 11: zero sum game.
Speaker 8: We have to trade with our partners.
Speaker 11: So it all depends where it's coming from, to be honest,
Speaker 11: and I'm not sure where.
Speaker 7: It is.
Speaker 2: Interesting. Well, we'll soon find out. The Treasury Secretary has
Speaker 2: warned countries though around the world that if they want
Speaker 2: to retaliate, well, there will be consequences. He said, if
Speaker 2: you retaliate, there will be escalations. So these are supposed
Speaker 2: to be reciprocal tariffs, and so if other countries want
Speaker 2: to increase their existing tariffs on the US, you can
Speaker 2: see the US raising theirs further. Let's move on to
Speaker 2: another case of promises made promises. Kep you'd remember this
Speaker 2: exchange between the President and the governor of Maine.
Speaker 4: Is the mean here, the governor of Man, Are you
Speaker 4: not going to comply with it?
Speaker 8: Well, we are the federal law. Well you better do it.
Speaker 4: You better do it because you're not going to get
Speaker 4: any federal funding at all if you don't. And by
Speaker 4: the way, your population, even though it's somewhat liberal or
Speaker 4: I did very well there, your population doesn't want men
Speaker 4: playing in women's sports. So you better you better comply
Speaker 4: because otherwise you're not getting any federal funding.
Speaker 14: Well.
Speaker 2: The Trump administration has followed through, announcing a pause and
Speaker 2: a review of federal funding to the state due to
Speaker 2: the governor's refusal to provide equal opportunities to women and
Speaker 2: girls in educational programs. USDA Secretary Brooks Roland said the
Speaker 2: state must agree to protect female athletes from transinclusion before
Speaker 2: funding is restored.
Speaker 11: Army, Yeah, it is unbelieve that exchange. I can listen
Speaker 11: to that exchange between him the Governormain all the livelong day.
Speaker 11: I love that, and it clarifies so much the reader.
Speaker 11: The Democrats continue to take the wrong side of seventy
Speaker 11: thirty issues. They lost an election because They've learned absolutely nothing.
Speaker 11: They're still attacking Trump and immigration still to this day,
Speaker 11: they are attacking his policies that the vast majority of
Speaker 11: Americans elected Trump on it because they want it, but
Speaker 11: they're still getting this wrong. This is another issue of
Speaker 11: that Americans. Do you do not want male athletes, biological
Speaker 11: males competing its women in sports.
Speaker 8: It's unfair, it's actually physically.
Speaker 11: Dangerous, as we've seen, Yet they continue to back these
Speaker 11: insane policies. Look, if you're on the federal dole, right,
Speaker 11: if you are an individual, if you are a university
Speaker 11: like Columbia, af your a state like Maine, if you're
Speaker 11: taking money from the federal government, let me tell you something.
Speaker 11: You are opening yourselves up to having an issue.
Speaker 9: Right.
Speaker 11: Look, if you don't want to take money from the
Speaker 11: federal government, do.
Speaker 8: What you want.
Speaker 11: But if you are, you better comply and toll the line.
Speaker 11: The executive branch was pushing a certain policy, particularly one
Speaker 11: that most Americans care about. And the irony of all
Speaker 11: of this is that Title nine, which was created primarily
Speaker 11: to protect and female sports, was created primarily by the
Speaker 11: left back people. I remember what titleline first happened. People
Speaker 11: are the right actually were complaining about it. Yet these
Speaker 11: are the people the left who are trying to hollow
Speaker 11: out the meaning of what female is in general, and
Speaker 11: they're doing the opposite of protecting female sports. They're trying
Speaker 11: to destroy it altogether. It is crazy and they can
Speaker 11: continue to lose elections if they continue to go this direction.
Speaker 2: Absolutely, now am you yourself have been filming in Palestinian
Speaker 2: territories in the West Bank city of Ramala, and you
Speaker 2: asked in this next clip questions of young men about
Speaker 2: their thoughts on October seven. Let's see if they have
Speaker 2: learned anything from the catastrophe that has befallen Ghazans since
Speaker 2: that attack.
Speaker 8: You are proud of October seventh sports?
Speaker 2: Ma'm he's prove and then he says, God bless them
Speaker 2: and may.
Speaker 11: They have victimy are you proud of what happened October seventh?
Speaker 5: Sub School of Stubbuck?
Speaker 11: Are you willing to have what happened in Gaza happened
Speaker 11: here in this It's a sacrifice worth patsy.
Speaker 1: Me.
Speaker 2: That is terrifying, but sadly not all that surprising.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 11: Look, I went to the West Banks.
Speaker 2: I want to see.
Speaker 11: Look, we obviously saw what happened in Gaza, right, a
Speaker 11: retaliatory continue retaliatory war against Hamas and the palace that
Speaker 11: is in Gaza, who inflicted the deaths on the instruction
Speaker 11: and the Mayhem, the barbarous, the barbary.
Speaker 8: Of October seventh? They learned anything?
Speaker 16: Was there?
Speaker 8: Lesson learned?
Speaker 11: That's what I wanted to find out. And honestly, oftentimes,
Speaker 11: when I go and do these videos, you know, I've
Speaker 11: done them long enough where I pretty much know what
Speaker 11: my subjects are going to say to me. Right, I
Speaker 11: know the mind, the left of the Islamic mind. And
Speaker 11: in this case, actually, I gotta be honest, I wasn't sure.
Speaker 11: I thought that they've seen what happened with gods, the
Speaker 11: destruction that happened to Gaza, because they struck against Israel
Speaker 11: such a terrific, horrible way, and there were that one word,
Speaker 11: the one guy who was terrific. So I want to hey,
Speaker 11: do you want to continue the policy of Kamas here
Speaker 11: in the West Bank? And do you want to have
Speaker 11: more October seven? Do you want to slaughter more Jews,
Speaker 11: more innocent Israelis? And then, b what I want to
Speaker 11: know is did you learn a lesson?
Speaker 8: Are you scared.
Speaker 11: Are you willing to actually ask them this, Are you
Speaker 11: willing to sacrifice your cities in the West Bank like
Speaker 11: what happened in Gaza in order to kill innocent civilities?
Speaker 11: And I actually thought they might have said, yes, you
Speaker 11: know what. Look, as much as we hate Jews and
Speaker 11: hate these rallies, we didn't realize that, well, if you're
Speaker 11: going to do this, you're going to pay a significant price.
Speaker 11: And what I found out was the vast majority of
Speaker 11: everybody I spoke to under forty I focus on young people,
Speaker 11: they also they were willing to sacrifice tens and tens
Speaker 11: of thousands of their own.
Speaker 8: People in order to kill more Jews and more Israelis.
Speaker 2: What's terrifying, Ami. This is what's terrifying that I can
Speaker 2: say that destruction in Gaza and it still isn't enough
Speaker 2: to sway them against this mindset. Amy Horowitz, we've run
Speaker 2: out of time. Thank you so much for your time tonight,
Speaker 2: your pleasure still to come. And Netflix employees speak out
Speaker 2: about Meghan michaels Nightmare brand launch. Kinsey Schofield joins me
Speaker 2: with the details. Welcome back, joining me now. Celebrity and
Speaker 2: royal commentator Kinsey Schofield Kinsey. The Netflix staffers were working
Speaker 2: on the launch of Meghan Michael's new lifestyle brand as Ever,
Speaker 2: have let loose on what it's really like behind the scenes.
Speaker 2: What have they been saying?
Speaker 6: That's right?
Speaker 14: An insider told The Dailymail that Michael's launch was a
Speaker 14: logistical nightmare after the eleventh hour name chums from American
Speaker 14: reviewer Orchard to as Ever and people working the retail
Speaker 14: project were tired of the drama surrounding the Sussexes, especially
Speaker 14: with Santa Balle blowing up the way it did, you know,
Speaker 14: approaching this debut. But they were also I thought this
Speaker 14: was interesting. They were also all forced to sign NDAs
Speaker 14: to keep secret where the products, including her fruit spread,
Speaker 14: are being made. I want to stay as far away
Speaker 14: from that as possible so she doesn't have to worry
Speaker 14: about someone like me trying to figure out where the
Speaker 14: fruit's coming from.
Speaker 2: Oh goodness made there? Will we ever say the jams?
Speaker 2: Because we've heard so much about these foods, fruit spreads,
Speaker 2: these jams, and a couple of the celebrity friends have
Speaker 2: got a jar and that's about it. I mean, where
Speaker 2: is this product? How is this love of it actually
Speaker 2: going to be it also, no, what is a sellout? Kinsey?
Speaker 2: How many jars were actually sold?
Speaker 14: Because exactly, I think that it's the scarcity marketing tactic,
Speaker 14: or the artificial scarcity tactic, where they have the illusion
Speaker 14: of high demand by limiting supply. I don't think that
Speaker 14: you know there were thousands of Jones of anything sold.
Speaker 14: I think she had look at this Netflix article.
Speaker 13: They did it.
Speaker 14: They were worried about how many people would actually buy this.
Speaker 14: So I think that the supply of the product was
Speaker 14: incredibly small, so she could go on Instagram and say,
Speaker 14: thanks everybody, I'm sold out.
Speaker 2: Absolutely that if there was any sort of volume, they
Speaker 2: would be advertising that, they would be saying we sold
Speaker 2: out one hundred thousand jars in an hour. But we're
Speaker 2: not hearing those figures now. To further developments in the
Speaker 2: fallout between Prince Harry and the chair of his once
Speaker 2: beloved charity sent to Ballet, Kinzid Sophie Chandulka has became
Speaker 2: the chair back in twenty twenty three, She's made a
Speaker 2: series of damaging allegations against the Sussexes. Now she's being
Speaker 2: accused of playing the race card. Doesn't she know? Only
Speaker 2: Megan is allowed to do that exactly.
Speaker 14: Not only that, I love the fact that Harry and
Speaker 14: Meghan's team are briefing the Telegraph that she didn't actually
Speaker 14: go to school for this doctor title.
Speaker 2: It's honorary, as.
Speaker 14: If she shouldn't be using it because she didn't earn it.
Speaker 2: Meghan, you make us.
Speaker 14: Call you Duchess of Sussex. The hypocrisy is astounding. But
Speaker 14: the race baiting thing, yes, oh my gosh, pot meat kettle,
Speaker 14: the exact same scenario. And I don't know if you
Speaker 14: saw one of Prince Harry's friends from Eton speak on
Speaker 14: his behalf to the Daily Meal saying that doctor Sophie
Speaker 14: is simply just jealous of Meghan Markle because she wasn't
Speaker 14: the most important woman of color on the stage. I
Speaker 14: cannot believe that he would put that out into the universe.
Speaker 2: That is incredible. Yeah, that is playing the sort of
Speaker 2: games that they accuse the Royal Family of playing. Now
Speaker 2: let's talk about Morgan Wollen were discussing earlier in the wake.
Speaker 2: He's not capitalizing on the controversy surrounding that abrupt exit
Speaker 2: from Saturday Night Live. Shortly after he left the stage
Speaker 2: whilst the others were standing around for two minutes, I
Speaker 2: don't know, for some bizarre credits that they run there.
Speaker 2: He posted this on his Instagram account and now he's
Speaker 2: launched merchandise based on that caption.
Speaker 14: And I love this because he is still getting waged
Speaker 14: over the calls here in the stats, SNL cast meets
Speaker 14: coming out saying that he was a diva behind the scenes,
Speaker 14: saying that he pretty likely won't ever be invaded again,
Speaker 14: and he's just he's making a joke out of it.
Speaker 2: I love that about him.
Speaker 14: I think that he's I think he's clearly has a
Speaker 14: great sense of humor, and I hope that he sells
Speaker 14: a million of these tops.
Speaker 4: Now.
Speaker 2: During Wednesday's episode of Michelle Obama's new podcast with her
Speaker 2: brother Craig Robinson, the former First Lady had a bit
Speaker 2: of a go at her husband baraque or is a
Speaker 2: parent lack of financial responsibility?
Speaker 3: Would you be attracted to a guy who's not financially
Speaker 3: sound when you meet him?
Speaker 10: I'm married one.
Speaker 1: Don't you like that?
Speaker 8: Allie's by just through.
Speaker 2: Oh Kinsey, This podcast looks terrible, But tell me, have
Speaker 2: we learned anything interesting? Apart from that little tidbit?
Speaker 14: I think if we're learning anything it's that this woman
Speaker 14: has little to no respect for her husband, who's put
Speaker 14: her in the position she's in to sell books to
Speaker 14: thousands of people and sit on a podcast and shoot that,
Speaker 14: you know what. With her brother, I think that she
Speaker 14: continues to disrespect him on this podcast, and I wonder
Speaker 14: what the ultimate objective is. I agree with people like
Speaker 14: Mariene Callahan that say she's trying to brand herself away
Speaker 14: from former President Obama and why because you don't want
Speaker 14: to be married to him forever. I think that that's
Speaker 14: a legit question.
Speaker 2: Well, that were rumors circulating very heavily for the last
Speaker 2: three or four months about whether they are together. He's
Speaker 2: appeared by himself at several events where you would expect
Speaker 2: her to be there, including President Jimmy Carter's funeral, So
Speaker 2: there's no wonder there's a little bit of scuttle but
Speaker 2: about that, Kinsey, it's always a pleasure. Thanks for your
Speaker 2: time tonight, and that's it from me. I'll see you
Speaker 2: tomorrow night at nine pm. Four Lefties Losing it Up.
Speaker 2: Next is Newsnight
