Speaker 2: and Meghan Markles falling out with Netflix and we never

10
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:42,240
Speaker 2: forget Left He's losing it. Tonight we featured this confession

11
00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:46,840
Speaker 2: from Hollywood actor Jerry O'Connell, who explains he got beat

12
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:48,160
Speaker 2: up on election night.

13
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:56,800
Speaker 3: My wife and daughters without saying anything, became became physical

14
00:00:56,800 --> 00:01:03,000
Speaker 3: with me. They were they were filled with reage.

15
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:08,400
Speaker 2: But let's start with labor powerbrokers reportedly holding secret talks

16
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 2: about replacing Premier Jacin to Allen. The Herald Son has

17
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:16,399
Speaker 2: revealed that key figures in Allan's socialist Left faction have

18
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:20,280
Speaker 2: canvassed a potential leadership change with a member of the

19
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:24,840
Speaker 2: party's rival right faction. Over a dozen senior sources across

20
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:29,759
Speaker 2: both factions have confirmed that serious talks are underway. Gabrielle

21
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:33,720
Speaker 2: Williams is the left faction's most likely alternative leader, while

22
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:37,679
Speaker 2: figures on the right say Deputy Premier Ben Carroll is

23
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:40,280
Speaker 2: more likely to be backed in the event of a spill.

24
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 2: Figures within the party are concerned the premier has become

25
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 2: a liability, saying she is the anchor weighing down Labour's

26
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 2: primary vote. According to a Demo's a U poll commissioned

27
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 2: by The Herald's son, the premier's net approval rating has

28
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 2: now slumped to negative thirty seven percent.

29
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 4: I mean to give you an idea of how bad

30
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 4: that it is.

31
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:09,960
Speaker 2: Every other state premier enjoys net positive approval ratings. Internal

32
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 2: polling suggests Labor could lose as many as twenty.

33
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 4: Seats if an election were held today.

34
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:19,120
Speaker 2: Joining me now is former president of the Victorian Liberal

35
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 2: Party Michael Kroger and Sky News contributor Pro McSwain Michael Jacinta.

36
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 2: Allen was foisted upon the Victorian electorate by Labor.

37
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 4: She was Dan Andrew's pick.

38
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 2: What are the chances that she won't be there at

39
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 2: the state election in November.

40
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 1: Reader, I think it's.

41
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 5: A very big likelihood by give her the chop. You've

42
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 5: just been through the polling ratings. She's a drag on

43
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:45,400
Speaker 5: Labour's vote. She's a drag on the vote in her

44
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:47,640
Speaker 5: own seat, of course, and it's very hard to go

45
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:49,680
Speaker 5: for another term. You know, this is that that will

46
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:52,680
Speaker 5: be going for their fourth term. She's been in parliament,

47
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 5: believe it not since nineteen ninety nine, last century. So

48
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:58,400
Speaker 5: what's that twenty seven years almost? If you add up

49
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:02,079
Speaker 5: the cell pad what she's been paid over eight million

50
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 5: dollars during her parliamentary career. Victoria is bankrupt, Victoria is lawless.

51
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 5: It's a chaotic, chaotic mess. And of course, after those

52
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:16,640
Speaker 5: ratings that you've just seen, her colleagues are thinking, you

53
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 5: know it's time to give her the boot and put

54
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:21,920
Speaker 5: someone else in now, you know. Sure it's anything Reader

55
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 5: that a legal like hers on the way out when

56
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 5: everyone comes to them says, I know she's fantastic. We

57
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:30,079
Speaker 5: we fully support her, and the two the two rivals

58
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 5: are I say, no, we're we're you know, we're with her.

59
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 1: It's like you know when the when.

60
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 5: The football club committee says we're behind the coach, you know,

61
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 5: the coach as soon as they're getting the job.

62
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 2: Yes, when they get the full backing of the board,

63
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 2: you know that. Yeah, sacking is eminent. Ah now prove

64
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 2: Victoria is. And it pains me to say this because

65
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 2: I am a proud Victorian. But the state is struggling

66
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 2: on every metric you can think of, whether we're looking

67
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 2: at the state taxes, the debt, the vacancy rates in

68
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 2: CBD offices, there's just so many metrics where we are

69
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 2: trailing the country. We've become a bit of a laughing

70
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:13,200
Speaker 2: stock proof for the rest of the country.

71
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 6: Sadly you have.

72
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:20,719
Speaker 7: And the problem is that they kept part of the reason.

73
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 7: I think that people look at Victorians and think, what

74
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 7: the hell were you thinking?

75
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 6: They kept voting labor back.

76
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 7: In after the Andrews experiment, the Andrews debarcle to hand Allan.

77
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:37,600
Speaker 7: You know this, I would have thought a poison chalice,

78
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:39,839
Speaker 7: but it wasn't. It was a perfumed one. She got

79
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:43,279
Speaker 7: to go, and you know it looks like she could maybe.

80
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 7: I don't think she's going to survive this. I think

81
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 7: that the greatest motivator for politicians is self interest, and

82
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 7: I think her colleagues have read the room.

83
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,600
Speaker 6: But you know, when you look at what a basket.

84
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:57,719
Speaker 7: Case that Melbourne is, you just have to say, look,

85
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:01,279
Speaker 7: why would anyone want to stay living there? Why wouldn't you?

86
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:03,720
Speaker 7: Why would you move there? Why would you buy or

87
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:07,719
Speaker 7: invest in there or start a business. It's just to

88
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 7: me a drag, an anchor drag on the whole of

89
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 7: the Australian economy.

90
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:17,839
Speaker 2: Well, Michael, Deputy Premier Ben Carroll is said to be

91
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:21,279
Speaker 2: a front runner to replace just into Alan. He's on

92
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:25,480
Speaker 2: the right faction and the left faction, the socialist left

93
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:30,440
Speaker 2: faction dominates Victorian Labor. What's the likelihood that, out of

94
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:33,600
Speaker 2: self interest has Preu said they're going to back someone

95
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 2: like Ben Carroll? And I think he is a formidable politician.

96
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:40,480
Speaker 2: I think if he was leader, Labor will probably get

97
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:41,120
Speaker 2: another term.

98
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:45,880
Speaker 5: Wow, Well, he's more far more formidable than the current

99
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:48,560
Speaker 5: premier or Gabrielle Williams, who's the other.

100
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:49,679
Speaker 1: Social left person.

101
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 5: Yes, you know, Carol's got that Chris Minn sort of

102
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 5: look about him, middle a more is looking, speaks well,

103
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 5: et cetera, et cetera. So he'd be electorally more formidable

104
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:04,839
Speaker 5: for us to fight, even though I think, you know

105
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:07,200
Speaker 5: it's fifty to fifty the election here at present.

106
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:10,240
Speaker 1: However, for that to happen, reader, the left of the

107
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 1: Labor Party have to agree to gift.

108
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:16,360
Speaker 5: The premier's position to someone in the other faction, and

109
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:19,720
Speaker 5: you know it's unlikely to happen. So I would think

110
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 5: if someone's going to take over, it's probably more likely

111
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:24,600
Speaker 5: to be that Gabrielle Williams, who know one of Victoria's

112
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:28,120
Speaker 5: ever heard of, by the way, rather than Ben Carroll,

113
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 5: and she'll she'll be much easy to beat then Carroll

114
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:33,840
Speaker 5: would if they were to go to him. But I

115
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:35,839
Speaker 5: don't you know that, I might be wrong. I doubt

116
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:37,599
Speaker 5: they'll go to him because he's in the wrong faction.

117
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:40,679
Speaker 4: He's in the wrong faction.

118
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:43,400
Speaker 2: He had to fight to get that deputy position, you

119
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 2: might recall, because he had to really stand up to

120
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:48,800
Speaker 2: Dan Andrews on that final day, because they did try

121
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:52,800
Speaker 2: to railroad him and have two socialist left factions in

122
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:55,040
Speaker 2: the leadership team and he had to fight for it.

123
00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:58,160
Speaker 2: But yeah, if they go with Gabrielle Williams, I think

124
00:06:58,200 --> 00:06:59,800
Speaker 2: she'll have a bit of a bounce, She'll have a

125
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:03,600
Speaker 2: bit of a honeymoon period whilst people get to know her.

126
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:06,720
Speaker 2: But yeah, she seems to be cut from the same

127
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:10,600
Speaker 2: cloth as just into Alan. Now let's stay in Victoria

128
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:13,520
Speaker 2: and residents will soon be stripped of their right to

129
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:16,840
Speaker 2: object to apartments up to six stories high in an

130
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 2: effort to meet the state's failing housing targets. Locals will

131
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:24,240
Speaker 2: be barred from objecting to developments that meet a set

132
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:29,200
Speaker 2: of twenty six standards and don't exceed specified height limits

133
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 2: in a beat to avoid lengthy VCAT delays and speed

134
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:36,680
Speaker 2: up the supply of housing. Michael, the Allen government is

135
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:39,720
Speaker 2: on track to miss its ten year housing targets.

136
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:41,480
Speaker 4: They're going to miss it easily.

137
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 2: This new plan will see mid rise developments that meet

138
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 2: the requirements immediately approved and that's going to start next month.

139
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 2: This is going to cause absolute havoc and so many

140
00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:57,320
Speaker 2: suburbs across Melbourne.

141
00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:04,240
Speaker 5: You never want in residential suburbs owners to have no

142
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 5: ride of appeal against new developments next door across the

143
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:08,960
Speaker 5: road nearby.

144
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:09,760
Speaker 1: You never want that.

145
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:13,480
Speaker 5: But they're desperate now because as you said, the housing

146
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:15,560
Speaker 5: targets through miss for years and in Victoria it is

147
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:18,200
Speaker 5: such a mess here to get a permit to build

148
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 5: a single house. It'll take you six months to get

149
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:24,720
Speaker 5: a planning permit through the council. And then of course

150
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 5: people can object and VCAT, which is our objection body.

151
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:30,640
Speaker 5: Appeals body can take up to two years to hear

152
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:34,400
Speaker 5: an objection. So this is what's drowning Victoria in you

153
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 5: incapacity two years to get an approval, up to two

154
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:40,520
Speaker 5: years to get approval to build something here in Victoria.

155
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:43,240
Speaker 5: That's why it is such a That's why the housing

156
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 5: target is so bad. That's why the Allen government of

157
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 5: now panicked and said, look, we've got to stop these

158
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:50,400
Speaker 5: appeals because they're clogging up a system. Yes we've known

159
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:52,800
Speaker 5: that for years, but they've done nothing about it, Rita,

160
00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:56,200
Speaker 5: and that's why they pull this desperate card in in

161
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:59,520
Speaker 5: an attempt to get something again Victoria. Because you know, housing,

162
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:01,640
Speaker 5: like most other things Victoria's it's been.

163
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:02,319
Speaker 1: A basket case.

164
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:06,160
Speaker 2: It's been a basket case, and so much of it

165
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:10,719
Speaker 2: is completely self inflicted. They have made it so unattractive

166
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:16,200
Speaker 2: for investors, for developers, the taxes are crazy. So, as

167
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:19,320
Speaker 2: Preu said earlier, why would you invest in Victoria when

168
00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 2: you've got other options across the country. Where it's just

169
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 2: a lot more sensible. You look at the land tax rates,

170
00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:32,240
Speaker 2: look at the conditions, the tendency laws. Why would you

171
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:36,920
Speaker 2: invest in Victorian residential real estate under the current system.

172
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:40,400
Speaker 2: Now let's talk about the petrol crisis. Prime Minister Anthony

173
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:44,760
Speaker 2: Alberanezi called a national Cabinet meeting to coordinate federal and

174
00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:49,240
Speaker 2: state responses to the fallout from the conflict in Iran.

175
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:52,880
Speaker 2: The PM announced the appointment of Anthea Harris as the

176
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:56,520
Speaker 2: National Fuel Supply Task Force Coordinator. She is the former

177
00:09:56,559 --> 00:10:01,280
Speaker 2: head of the Australia Energy Regulator. He said Australia is

178
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:04,280
Speaker 2: well prepared for the Middle East conflict, but he wants

179
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:08,560
Speaker 2: to be over prepared. But we've already got over thirty

180
00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 2: petrol stations across the state being reported as being out

181
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:17,080
Speaker 2: of petrol. This is according to fuel check data. Michael

182
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:20,959
Speaker 2: Anthony Alberanezi is saying this crisis in the Middle East

183
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:24,880
Speaker 2: was the third global shock this decade and Australia had

184
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:28,120
Speaker 2: to atop a new economic model for a change world.

185
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:33,000
Speaker 2: But this fuel shortage, surely we need to be better

186
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:36,439
Speaker 2: prepared for it. How can we already have petrol stations

187
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:39,760
Speaker 2: that have run out of fuel even in metropolitan areas.

188
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:42,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, of course we should have been better repared.

189
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:45,120
Speaker 5: People have been signaling for months that there might be

190
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:48,480
Speaker 5: a war in the Middle East. So you know, everyone

191
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:52,840
Speaker 5: was warned because you know of Iran's behavior with.

192
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:54,359
Speaker 1: Their proxies over the years.

193
00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:58,400
Speaker 5: That having been said, of course, prices are going to

194
00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:01,199
Speaker 5: go up, and ultimately there will be sure during the war.

195
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:03,000
Speaker 1: You know, this is.

196
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:04,920
Speaker 5: World War three, reader, That's the way I look at it.

197
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:07,920
Speaker 5: This is World War three being brought out in Iran.

198
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:10,959
Speaker 5: This is not a skirmish of a frolic of his

199
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:13,520
Speaker 5: own by Donald Trump and Benjamint Yahu.

200
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 1: This is World War three being.

201
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:18,440
Speaker 5: Fought in Iran for the future of the civilized world,

202
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:22,440
Speaker 5: to kill off Islamik terrorism, Islami extremism which emanates out

203
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:25,680
Speaker 5: of Iran and all of the Arab nations in the

204
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:28,480
Speaker 5: Middle East. They're all supporting the Americans and the Israelis.

205
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:31,480
Speaker 5: Iran is basically friendless. They've got the Chinese, the North

206
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:34,800
Speaker 5: Koreans and the Russians. Russians, well, if they're the people

207
00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:36,840
Speaker 5: who are inviting your birthday party, you know you don't

208
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:37,520
Speaker 5: have many friends.

209
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:41,000
Speaker 1: And that's the Iran. That's the Iranian position. But so yes,

210
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 1: there's going to be a.

211
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:44,480
Speaker 5: Shortage you hear down the track if this war keeps

212
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:47,160
Speaker 5: going on. But there were petrol shortages in World War Two.

213
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:49,599
Speaker 5: This is not the first time this will happen. And

214
00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 5: let's be frank, you know, long term it's going.

215
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:53,640
Speaker 1: To be worth it.

216
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:56,800
Speaker 5: If they get rid of the ragym in Iran, the

217
00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:59,440
Speaker 5: world will be a much more peaceful place and we

218
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:01,520
Speaker 5: can go back to live in normality and not have

219
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:07,439
Speaker 5: offshoots this Arraignean regime Firebob synagogues in Melbourne and bakeries

220
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:07,920
Speaker 5: in Sydney.

221
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:10,200
Speaker 8: Oh.

222
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:13,200
Speaker 2: Absolutely, We've got to look at this in the medium

223
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:16,080
Speaker 2: and long term. It seems all the focuses in the

224
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:20,760
Speaker 2: short term pain, but prue. This fuel shortage is spreading

225
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:24,480
Speaker 2: across the country, going from regional New South Wales, for example,

226
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:29,080
Speaker 2: to metropolitan areas. The Daily Telegraph spoke with nine service

227
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:32,679
Speaker 2: station retailers across western and northwestern Sydney who said they

228
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:36,120
Speaker 2: had either completely run out of petrol or were very

229
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:40,560
Speaker 2: close to running dry. The attendant at the Epping seven

230
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:43,640
Speaker 2: eleven petrol station told the Telegraph they were still waiting

231
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:46,040
Speaker 2: for their delivery from Monday and it could be another

232
00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:48,800
Speaker 2: twenty four hours away, Prue.

233
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:51,800
Speaker 4: Has I'm worried about panic buying.

234
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:55,480
Speaker 2: We saw that during COVID and that will just add

235
00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:59,480
Speaker 2: to these shortages. If people go to the petrol station

236
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:04,240
Speaker 2: with fifty Jerry cans to have their own personal supply

237
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:05,760
Speaker 2: in case there is no.

238
00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:08,840
Speaker 6: Petrol, well that's a point, Rita.

239
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:11,000
Speaker 7: But you know, the thing that really gets to me

240
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:14,360
Speaker 7: is that we have been lied to. You know, Bowen

241
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:19,080
Speaker 7: sits there in Parliament and lies and says there's no crisis,

242
00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:21,079
Speaker 7: that we have plenty of fuel.

243
00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:24,160
Speaker 6: The fuel's being delivered to the regions when it's the

244
00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:25,880
Speaker 6: wrong fuel. It's not diesel.

245
00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 7: So we're going to end up in a situation where

246
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:34,080
Speaker 7: we're going to have empty tankers, empty shelves, empty pockets,

247
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:39,800
Speaker 7: businesses going broke because this country has not been run properly.

248
00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 6: I mean, successive governments have.

249
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:45,720
Speaker 7: Not honored the International Energy Agency agreement where you're supposed

250
00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:49,440
Speaker 7: to have a mandatory ninety days worth of fuel. We

251
00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:52,920
Speaker 7: haven't actually met that commitment since I think twenty twelve

252
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:53,559
Speaker 7: or something.

253
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:55,480
Speaker 6: I mean, we end blind.

254
00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:58,520
Speaker 7: Freddie could see that with the kind of energy policy

255
00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:02,959
Speaker 7: that labor has been inflicting on us that we were

256
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:05,480
Speaker 7: always going to be headed for a full This war

257
00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:10,280
Speaker 7: has really made everybody understand the implications and the need

258
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:14,240
Speaker 7: for proper energy supply, and we don't have that in

259
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:19,040
Speaker 7: this country. Labor successfully has brainwashed people. What I find

260
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:22,200
Speaker 7: fascinating is that be careful what you look, you know

261
00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:26,880
Speaker 7: you wish for, because suddenly all these climate change evangelists

262
00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:29,720
Speaker 7: are seeing what it really means when you don't have

263
00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 7: reliable energy supply. And as for this task force, it's

264
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:38,600
Speaker 7: just a pr exercise. This woman, this Harris woman, was

265
00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:41,800
Speaker 7: the CEO of the Climate Change Authority. She's just a

266
00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:46,720
Speaker 7: labor mate appointed to just you know, pay lip service

267
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:50,400
Speaker 7: do with the government's bidding. We all know that we've

268
00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:53,920
Speaker 7: been lied to, that this country has been robbed of

269
00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:58,120
Speaker 7: its security, its national security, and while Labor's in power,

270
00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:00,600
Speaker 7: and while Bowen's in power, it's going to continue.

271
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:05,920
Speaker 2: That is a very good point there, Michael. We are

272
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:11,680
Speaker 2: so dependent now on other countries. We could be energy independent.

273
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:15,480
Speaker 2: We're blessed with every natural resource, but we've closed down

274
00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:20,240
Speaker 2: the refineries, we've stopped mining, we've limited gas exploration, and

275
00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:24,320
Speaker 2: you have a crisis in the Middle East, and we've

276
00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:27,320
Speaker 2: got petrol stations running out and we have become so

277
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:30,600
Speaker 2: dependent on other nations.

278
00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:33,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's a great irony, isn't it, Reader, that we've

279
00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:37,200
Speaker 5: the government have employed someone, as pre said, from the

280
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:41,480
Speaker 5: Climate Change of Authority all places because we're living petrol

281
00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:48,000
Speaker 5: shortage I mean, is believe itble and and look, you

282
00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:51,160
Speaker 5: know what what experience has this person got in logistics?

283
00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:54,600
Speaker 1: Prus? Right? This is just another labor hack that they've

284
00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:55,320
Speaker 1: dragged out.

285
00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:59,960
Speaker 5: Of another government job to deal with you know, farmers,

286
00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:02,920
Speaker 5: rural Australia, et cetera, et cetera. No, they needed someone

287
00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:07,040
Speaker 5: with an expertise in logistics from Fox or Toll or

288
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:10,400
Speaker 5: one of our major logistics operations to do this type

289
00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:12,840
Speaker 5: of job, not just a labor mate, not just a

290
00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:13,520
Speaker 5: labor hack.

291
00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:16,640
Speaker 1: And do I think do a good job. No, I

292
00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:17,360
Speaker 1: wouldn't think so.

293
00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:19,280
Speaker 5: And I don't think anyone in rural Australia would have

294
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:24,600
Speaker 5: confidence someone from the Change Authority.

295
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:26,960
Speaker 1: You know, looking looking up where we may have you.

296
00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:30,560
Speaker 5: Know, shortages of petrol and diesel of course, which is

297
00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:33,000
Speaker 5: the Climate Change Authority is one of their greatest evils

298
00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:34,120
Speaker 5: is diesel fuel.

299
00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:38,200
Speaker 1: They hate diesel fuel. And she's in charge of delivery.

300
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:41,880
Speaker 2: Well you go, figure, Well, we're not just going to

301
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:46,440
Speaker 2: have a feel shortage energy crisis. We're looking at food

302
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:49,360
Speaker 2: shortages if this continues and there's not some sort of

303
00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:53,560
Speaker 2: a plan B that comes into play very quickly. Now

304
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:57,720
Speaker 2: before you go, King Charles's flagship youth charity has decided

305
00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:01,920
Speaker 2: to cancel a fitness course for disadviceage girls instead of

306
00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:05,760
Speaker 2: preventing biological males from attending. The Daily Mail reports that

307
00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:09,240
Speaker 2: the course for girls age sixteen to twenty five was

308
00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:15,480
Speaker 2: open to and I quote female identifying presenting people, and

309
00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:19,520
Speaker 2: after a concerned parent contacted the charity to raise safeguarding

310
00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:24,119
Speaker 2: concerns around biological men punching teenage girls, well perue, instead

311
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:27,879
Speaker 2: of limiting the course to girls and women, the King's

312
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:31,480
Speaker 2: Trust decided to cancel the whole thing. Obviously, that's so

313
00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:36,480
Speaker 2: scared of being accused of transphobia, I guess in this instance,

314
00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:39,320
Speaker 2: I mean, this is supposed to be for disadvantaged girls.

315
00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:43,600
Speaker 7: Well it's insane, and you know, perhaps King Charles wasn't

316
00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:46,680
Speaker 7: even consulted, but they would have known that he's so woke,

317
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:52,040
Speaker 7: you know. Sadly, King Charles is a very woke representative

318
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:55,120
Speaker 7: of the Crown, and so they probably figured that he'd

319
00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:58,560
Speaker 7: quite like it. So they're doing maybe not his bidding,

320
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:01,320
Speaker 7: but they're, you know, sure looking for some sort of

321
00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:07,080
Speaker 7: a salutation from him or something. It's unbelievable, it is, yes,

322
00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:11,880
Speaker 7: and their efforts to be supposedly inclusive, they're basically excluding

323
00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:16,720
Speaker 7: these impoverished girls and young women from taking part in

324
00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:17,240
Speaker 7: this event.

325
00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:20,000
Speaker 4: Michael Krogo, pri McSween, thank you so much for your time.

326
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:22,880
Speaker 4: Still to come.

327
00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:26,520
Speaker 2: Left Is Losing It plus the latest from the US,

328
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:32,040
Speaker 2: including a YouTuber exposing mass fraud in California, the brilliant

329
00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:33,080
Speaker 2: Josh Hammer.

330
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:38,840
Speaker 4: As the details.

331
00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:47,960
Speaker 2: You're watching the Reader Paney Show and it's time for

332
00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:51,239
Speaker 2: Lefties Losing It. And what I'm about to show you is,

333
00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:54,280
Speaker 2: I've got to say a little bit sad. I know

334
00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:58,360
Speaker 2: we have a laugh on this segment, but sometimes the dysfunction,

335
00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:01,760
Speaker 2: the hate, the coward of the modern left as well

336
00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:05,720
Speaker 2: a little depressing. Even a leftist as blessed as Hollywood

337
00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:10,440
Speaker 2: actor Jerry O'Connell, good looking, rich, successful, but utterly divorce

338
00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:15,760
Speaker 2: from reality. First let's look at him establish his democrat credentials.

339
00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:20,359
Speaker 3: I went to a Kamala Harris rally my wife and

340
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:25,280
Speaker 3: I donated to the campaign and Meghan the stallion plant.

341
00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:30,000
Speaker 3: And that was pretty pretty snapic, Bill, if you were there,

342
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:32,680
Speaker 3: I mean, it really invigorated like excitement.

343
00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:34,679
Speaker 9: And really invigorated the people who are already going to

344
00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:37,320
Speaker 9: vote for her anyway. That's who we invigorated.

345
00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:40,520
Speaker 4: Now I'm about to show you the sad part.

346
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:45,320
Speaker 2: This rich, attractive, successful dude has failed as a man.

347
00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:50,320
Speaker 2: His own family, his wife and daughters physically attacked him

348
00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:55,080
Speaker 2: on election night for not being sufficiently pro Kamala. Watch

349
00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:59,040
Speaker 2: how terrified he is at the prospect of speaking his mind,

350
00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:03,520
Speaker 2: he self said, answering and being so pitifully weak that

351
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:06,439
Speaker 2: even fellow lifty Bill Ma has to have a go

352
00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:06,840
Speaker 2: at him.

353
00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:08,680
Speaker 3: And I'll be honest with you, I didn't think Trump

354
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:11,000
Speaker 3: was gonna win. I live in California. I didn't think

355
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:12,560
Speaker 3: he was going to win. What I was here, I

356
00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:16,040
Speaker 3: didn't either. I think this is where I live, you know.

357
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:24,320
Speaker 3: I said something along the lines of like there was

358
00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:27,600
Speaker 3: no planning, this is what they get. There should have

359
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:29,879
Speaker 3: been a primary. I said something along those lines, you know,

360
00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:32,920
Speaker 3: like I was just spitballing ideas as to it was

361
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:40,760
Speaker 3: a shock. You know, my wife and daughters without saying anything,

362
00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:44,760
Speaker 3: became became physical with me.

363
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:46,920
Speaker 1: They were.

364
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:54,040
Speaker 3: They were filled with rage. So if I am being

365
00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:57,199
Speaker 3: careful with you in how I say things, Yes, I

366
00:20:57,240 --> 00:21:00,400
Speaker 3: live in California. I live with not one, not two,

367
00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:06,160
Speaker 3: but three people who if I need any kind of joke,

368
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:11,040
Speaker 3: they would They become very angry with me, you know.

369
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:13,879
Speaker 9: I Well, so I don't want to tell you how

370
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:16,040
Speaker 9: to live your life, but I couldn't live that way.

371
00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:19,959
Speaker 9: I would whatever household or ever situation I'm in, I

372
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:22,560
Speaker 9: say what I truly think, and if it makes you angry,

373
00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:23,199
Speaker 9: I'm sorry.

374
00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:24,200
Speaker 1: We'll have to work that out.

375
00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:26,080
Speaker 9: Well, it makes sense, but I am not going to

376
00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:29,320
Speaker 9: tuck my tail between my legs and just shut them up.

377
00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:31,120
Speaker 9: This is what you were dealing with when you were

378
00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:34,000
Speaker 9: a child. Just sit there and don't say anything.

379
00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:36,520
Speaker 4: Ah, just pitiful. Wake.

380
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:40,440
Speaker 2: Now, let's check in on an awful that's an affluent

381
00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:44,840
Speaker 2: white female leftist who has delusions of victim wood.

382
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:47,560
Speaker 10: Of less rights than I did when he became president.

383
00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:53,280
Speaker 10: And I shouldn't have less rights than I used to.

384
00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:57,320
Speaker 10: I shouldn't have different rights than my husband has in

385
00:21:57,400 --> 00:22:01,800
Speaker 10: fifty stakes, and I should how to provide a plethora

386
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:06,920
Speaker 10: of other documentation to get an ID because I got married,

387
00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:11,600
Speaker 10: because I've changed my name. It's just shipping away at us,

388
00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:16,760
Speaker 10: little by little until we don't realize where I'm cooked.

389
00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:17,919
Speaker 4: There you have it.

390
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:21,480
Speaker 2: Republicans have it in for marriage now apparently that they're

391
00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:24,720
Speaker 2: coming for married women. Yeah, right now, this is the

392
00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:28,359
Speaker 2: opposite of an awful Here we have a brave, principal,

393
00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:33,520
Speaker 2: logical British woman, Connie Shaw, who clearly has endless reserves

394
00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:37,480
Speaker 2: of patients which she is. She tries and tries again

395
00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:41,359
Speaker 2: to get some sense from a transactivist holding a union banner.

396
00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:43,440
Speaker 11: Do you support women if she was going through the

397
00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:46,040
Speaker 11: fact that she'd been assaulted in a single sex space

398
00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:47,080
Speaker 11: by a male person?

399
00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:50,520
Speaker 6: I know you wouldn't.

400
00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:52,280
Speaker 11: You wouldn't help a woman who was a member of

401
00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:54,200
Speaker 11: your union if she had been raped in a single

402
00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:58,080
Speaker 11: sex space for women by man. Trans women are women,

403
00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:01,119
Speaker 11: even if they reape other women. Trans women are women,

404
00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:02,640
Speaker 11: even rapists.

405
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:06,080
Speaker 1: Women commit crimes, But women.

406
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:07,360
Speaker 4: Was is right?

407
00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:11,879
Speaker 11: And a woman? What makes them women? Trans women and women?

408
00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:14,800
Speaker 11: And you've got no explanation for what makes them women

409
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:19,000
Speaker 11: is in the name. Well, I'm looking for a definition,

410
00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:20,080
Speaker 11: not a circular argument.

411
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:21,560
Speaker 3: Trans women and women.

412
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:26,840
Speaker 11: Do you see how that's a circular definition. Would you

413
00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:28,440
Speaker 11: like to explain why transmen are women?

414
00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:29,200
Speaker 6: Really?

415
00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:36,480
Speaker 2: That's all they have projection, empty words and circular arguments.

416
00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:40,240
Speaker 2: Watch now as this a coward has other activists come

417
00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:44,359
Speaker 2: in to physically obstruct Connie Shaw from asking any more

418
00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:46,000
Speaker 2: uncomfortable questions.

419
00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:48,280
Speaker 12: Trans rights to human rights?

420
00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:50,440
Speaker 11: What about women's rights to single sex spaces?

421
00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:53,600
Speaker 1: Trans rights to human rights?

422
00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:55,480
Speaker 11: So you don't believe that women have the rights to

423
00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:57,520
Speaker 11: get unchanged away from the presence of men.

424
00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:04,760
Speaker 2: Now to a man who should be awarded the pull

425
00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:08,040
Speaker 2: It surprise IFA media awards actually meant anything these days.

426
00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:11,879
Speaker 2: Here is Nick Shirley, who blew apart the depths of

427
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:16,440
Speaker 2: fraud in Minnesota, concentrated in the Somali community. Well, Nick

428
00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:19,080
Speaker 2: Shirley is in La now, and the scale of the

429
00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:21,159
Speaker 2: fraud there is even worse.

430
00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:23,920
Speaker 4: What he saw in La is incredible.

431
00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:26,560
Speaker 2: Here he is of what looks like a former motel

432
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:30,879
Speaker 2: which is allegedly running thirty fake hospice businesses.

433
00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:35,639
Speaker 13: We have Angels of Valley Hospice, we have angels of Heaven,

434
00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:43,280
Speaker 13: angels of peace, light of angels. Yet the BMW's one

435
00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:47,560
Speaker 13: right here, one right there two brand new Mercedes over there.

436
00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:51,320
Speaker 13: It just is unbelievable the amount of money that these

437
00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:53,680
Speaker 13: people are making, and they're not even trying to hate it.

438
00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:57,960
Speaker 2: And while in Minnesota we had fake daycare centers that

439
00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:02,199
Speaker 2: had no children enrolled, in LA, he found children in

440
00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:05,320
Speaker 2: daycare centers, but there were no adults around.

441
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:11,560
Speaker 14: Talk to the adult. Not here. So you guys all

442
00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:21,959
Speaker 14: by yourself. No one's here. Okay, So you guys are

443
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:28,640
Speaker 14: all by yourself. Okay, yeah, okay, that's concerning.

444
00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:33,760
Speaker 2: That is concerning. Let's bring in Newsweek's senior editor at large,

445
00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:38,280
Speaker 2: Josh Hammer. Josh, tell me about this focus.

446
00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:40,399
Speaker 4: On LA now on California in general.

447
00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:44,000
Speaker 2: Surely it can't be as diabolical as what we saw

448
00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:44,760
Speaker 2: in Minnesota.

449
00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:49,840
Speaker 15: Well, it's quite bad. I mean, envision reader Minnesota on steroids.

450
00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:53,640
Speaker 15: That's basically what California is. California is essentially democratic governance

451
00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:57,160
Speaker 15: on steroids. It's been that way for a very long time. Unfortunately,

452
00:25:57,359 --> 00:26:00,680
Speaker 15: it's reached something of a low point under Gavin Newsom.

453
00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:02,200
Speaker 15: I get I guess we'll see if you can get

454
00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:06,919
Speaker 15: even lower in the future. Democrat comminatorial administration in Sacramento

455
00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:10,520
Speaker 15: far beeven me to predict that, but I frankly probably

456
00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:13,840
Speaker 15: could get even worse than this. It centers around Medicare

457
00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:17,640
Speaker 15: and Medicaid fraud. That's why doctor Oz, the former television

458
00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:19,320
Speaker 15: star who is now the head of the Center for

459
00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:23,080
Speaker 15: Medicare and Medicaid Services, he's been at the formal administrative

460
00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:25,440
Speaker 15: Center exposing a lot of these issues out in Los

461
00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:29,880
Speaker 15: Angeles County. According to the receipts, Los Angeles County, California,

462
00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:33,919
Speaker 15: is single handlely responsible for somewhere between fifteen and twenty percent,

463
00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:39,280
Speaker 15: if memory serves of the Medicare related quote unquote payments

464
00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:43,160
Speaker 15: in America, which doesn't actually make sense. It's a large

465
00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:46,040
Speaker 15: kind of bit, but it's only one county. So the

466
00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:48,400
Speaker 15: administration is sorted starting to expose some of this fraud.

467
00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:50,040
Speaker 15: Nick Shirley and others are on the ground trying to

468
00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:52,080
Speaker 15: expose more with it. Surely continues to do a lot

469
00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:54,679
Speaker 15: of really solid investigative work. When it comes to this,

470
00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:57,520
Speaker 15: he's basically just showing up with a camera. Read it's

471
00:26:57,560 --> 00:27:01,480
Speaker 15: really not exactly the worth that you need PhD in

472
00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:05,360
Speaker 15: filmmaking to do. It's it's really kind of just very

473
00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:07,480
Speaker 15: entrepreneur all type stuff there. My hat off to him

474
00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:08,600
Speaker 15: for doing this, and we'll see where goes.

475
00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:12,119
Speaker 2: I guess, Josh, let's hear from doctor Memetta Oz you

476
00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:16,400
Speaker 2: mentioned him. Is that President Trump's administrator for the Centers

477
00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:20,240
Speaker 2: for Medicare and Medicaid service. Here is what he had

478
00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:22,480
Speaker 2: to say about fraud in LA.

479
00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:25,119
Speaker 16: One hundred million dollars. You get the national numbers that

480
00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:28,280
Speaker 16: you just highlighted. You have states red and blue who

481
00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:31,240
Speaker 16: are suffering because the rules we relax and weak, and

482
00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:34,240
Speaker 16: folks frausters took advantage of them. But we're on to them,

483
00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:36,800
Speaker 16: and we're going out to not just autism, which is

484
00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:40,200
Speaker 16: of course a heinous way to steal money from the

485
00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:42,880
Speaker 16: American taxpayer, but you're also going in for home health

486
00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:47,520
Speaker 16: care that's unnecessary, hospice care. John California has one third

487
00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:51,080
Speaker 16: of forget how Los Angeles, the city of Los Angeles,

488
00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:53,399
Speaker 16: the county around it is one third of all hospite

489
00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:56,880
Speaker 16: centers in the entire country. Is everyone dying in Los Angeles?

490
00:27:56,920 --> 00:27:58,160
Speaker 3: There's some possible.

491
00:27:57,800 --> 00:28:00,600
Speaker 2: Numbers, that's what you were talking about, And then they

492
00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:06,119
Speaker 2: do seem like impossible numbers. How can LA alone have

493
00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:10,280
Speaker 2: one third of all the hospice centers in the entire country.

494
00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:13,760
Speaker 15: Yeah, so that's I mean, that's shocking you to me. Rie,

495
00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:16,360
Speaker 15: I actually had not heard that exact statistic about one

496
00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:18,360
Speaker 15: third of hot centers. I mean, what I had seen

497
00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:21,200
Speaker 15: is fifteen to twenty percent of autism related centers things

498
00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:24,040
Speaker 15: like that there, I mean one third of Look. LA

499
00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:26,679
Speaker 15: is a big city. It has a declining population. Actually,

500
00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:29,240
Speaker 15: in fact, that's probably going to decline even more. It

501
00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:31,200
Speaker 15: probably will get to your past. Actually, it's the nation's

502
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:33,680
Speaker 15: second largest city if current trends hold by a place

503
00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:36,720
Speaker 15: like a like a Phoenix, Arizona or Houston, Texas potentially

504
00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:38,240
Speaker 15: in the next ten to fifteen years. So we'll see

505
00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:40,000
Speaker 15: how that goes. But still there are there are a

506
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:42,280
Speaker 15: lot of people in La. But no, there are not

507
00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:45,840
Speaker 15: one third of older people who need hospice. That is

508
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:50,160
Speaker 15: facially absurd. And the median American looks that and starts

509
00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:53,080
Speaker 15: scratching his or her head and says, this cannot possibly

510
00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:55,120
Speaker 15: be right. What on earth happened here? And what happened

511
00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:59,200
Speaker 15: here is that these blue jurisdictions at best turn a

512
00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:03,320
Speaker 15: blind eye to rampant fraud, to rampant welfare fraud, the

513
00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:06,920
Speaker 15: very welfare of that The Democratic Party has institutionally structurally

514
00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:08,840
Speaker 15: put in place in America, going back to the Lyndon

515
00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:12,040
Speaker 15: Johnson Great Society in the nineteen sixties and many programs

516
00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:13,760
Speaker 15: that build on top of that since then. There So

517
00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:16,080
Speaker 15: they start the welfare state and now they are bilking

518
00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:18,840
Speaker 15: the federal taxpayer via the welfare state. Is something that

519
00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:21,520
Speaker 15: they've been been doing for a very, very long time.

520
00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:24,120
Speaker 15: And I guess one of the many benefits of having

521
00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:26,360
Speaker 15: this current administration in power is that they are no

522
00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:29,360
Speaker 15: longer actually turning a blind eye to it personally read it.

523
00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:30,920
Speaker 15: What I would like to know is I would like

524
00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:33,080
Speaker 15: to know the extent to which the Biden administration in

525
00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:36,240
Speaker 15: particular was complicit in this. Were they aiding and am

526
00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:39,720
Speaker 15: betting this? Surely Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. Kamala Harris

527
00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:42,200
Speaker 15: is a Californian herself. What's not forget there. She has

528
00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:44,840
Speaker 15: a very long relationship with Gavin Newsom.

529
00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:45,120
Speaker 1: There.

530
00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:47,800
Speaker 15: I'll be curious to know what did Kamala Harris know

531
00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:50,160
Speaker 15: about this fraud in Los Angeles County and when did

532
00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:52,000
Speaker 15: you know? That would be the top of my list

533
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:52,520
Speaker 15: of questions.

534
00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:57,480
Speaker 2: And you've got Kamala Harris and Gavin Newsome the front

535
00:29:57,560 --> 00:30:03,040
Speaker 2: runners for the Democratic CA presidential candidacy in twenty twenty eight.

536
00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:05,600
Speaker 2: I mean, that is the best they have at the moment.

537
00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:08,120
Speaker 2: And have a look at California to see how well

538
00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:08,800
Speaker 2: that's going.

539
00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:09,600
Speaker 4: Now.

540
00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:12,800
Speaker 2: I saw a piece you wrote for the La Times,

541
00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:17,320
Speaker 2: a fantastic piece on what victory would look like for

542
00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:20,800
Speaker 2: the US in the Iran War. Tell me why you

543
00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:25,120
Speaker 2: see this war as fitting the America First agenda and

544
00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:31,360
Speaker 2: when and how can the Trump administration exit this conflict?

545
00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:35,800
Speaker 15: Sure, so this war is nothing that came by surprise.

546
00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:37,280
Speaker 15: There are a lot of folks that are saying this

547
00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:38,960
Speaker 15: is not what Donald Trump campaigned on.

548
00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:39,000
Speaker 8: One.

549
00:30:39,040 --> 00:30:42,080
Speaker 15: He campaigned on ending forever wars, and so he did so,

550
00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:45,960
Speaker 15: he absolutely did. But the framing is our reader. I

551
00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:47,800
Speaker 15: don't have to be the one to tell you that

552
00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:50,120
Speaker 15: the Irani regime has been at war with the United

553
00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:52,840
Speaker 15: States and the West, but really above all, possibly the

554
00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:55,560
Speaker 15: United States for forty seven years. How do I know

555
00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:58,680
Speaker 15: that because they literally chanted every single day, because they're

556
00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:01,960
Speaker 15: very first at the Solutionary's very first act back in

557
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:04,200
Speaker 15: the Jimmy Carter presidents in ninety seventy nine was to

558
00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:07,880
Speaker 15: storm the United States embassy that was their first act.

559
00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:09,960
Speaker 15: They held the Americans hostage for four in to forty

560
00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:12,800
Speaker 15: four days. They have not stopped killing Americans ever since then,

561
00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:16,360
Speaker 15: from the Hezbola Beayiru Barracks bombings back in nineteen eighty three,

562
00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:18,640
Speaker 15: all the way to the roadside IEDs in I Rock,

563
00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:23,560
Speaker 15: from Kasain Sulimani until most recently the attempt to assassinate

564
00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:25,840
Speaker 15: Donald Trump on our own soil, for which a Pakistan

565
00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:28,800
Speaker 15: national was actually just recently convicted here in federal court.

566
00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:30,720
Speaker 15: So they've been doing this for a very, very very

567
00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:34,880
Speaker 15: long time. So the war has been waged against United States,

568
00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:37,040
Speaker 15: whether Americans think about it or whether we want to

569
00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:39,120
Speaker 15: acknowledge it or not. The only difference is that Donald

570
00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:42,360
Speaker 15: Trump is a man who is finally, finally, finally actually

571
00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:44,840
Speaker 15: addressing this head on. He's not interested in kicking the

572
00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:47,480
Speaker 15: can down the road like prior presidents have been doing

573
00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:50,240
Speaker 15: for forty seven years and counting there now. He's not

574
00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:52,160
Speaker 15: going to drab this on forever. It's not going to

575
00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:55,200
Speaker 15: be in interminable a Rock or Afghanistan like conflicts. He

576
00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:57,840
Speaker 15: has no interest in trying to sculpt the Jeffersonian or

577
00:31:57,960 --> 00:32:01,840
Speaker 15: Lockey and liberal democracy there in Iran. Rather, the goal

578
00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:05,400
Speaker 15: of Operation Epic Fury from an American national interest, therefore

579
00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:09,360
Speaker 15: a maga American first perspective. The the goal here is

580
00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:13,000
Speaker 15: to neutralize the ason Republic of Iran as a threat

581
00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:15,280
Speaker 15: to the United States and our interests. We already come

582
00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:17,160
Speaker 15: a pretty far away on that. The task is not

583
00:32:17,320 --> 00:32:20,160
Speaker 15: yet completed there, but that is that is the goal

584
00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:22,600
Speaker 15: on its own terms. When that goal has been met,

585
00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:25,479
Speaker 15: and it's it's it's mentally a debate as to exactly

586
00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:28,160
Speaker 15: how to judge that that goal. But when that goals met,

587
00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:31,960
Speaker 15: this operation can can be finished. Now the ideal situation,

588
00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:34,800
Speaker 15: the ideal goal, of course, is for the United States

589
00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:37,640
Speaker 15: and our Israeli allies to lay the conditions for the

590
00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:40,360
Speaker 15: run In people to take matters into their own hands,

591
00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:42,720
Speaker 15: and to actually make sure that this most horrific of

592
00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:45,240
Speaker 15: regimes goes to the hellish ashtep of history where it

593
00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:48,800
Speaker 15: so ritually belongs there. But while that is the ideal scenario,

594
00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:52,920
Speaker 15: that is not necessarily the strict necessary criteria in my

595
00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:55,600
Speaker 15: estimation for this operation succeeding on its own terms, The

596
00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:58,120
Speaker 15: operation from our perspective here in the US is a

597
00:32:58,160 --> 00:33:02,080
Speaker 15: success when the the nation of Iran is no longer

598
00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:04,800
Speaker 15: a threat to the United States. Ideally, that's regime change,

599
00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:07,040
Speaker 15: but I think it's at least theoretically possible, or something

600
00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:08,960
Speaker 15: subtly less than I'm thinking here along the lines of

601
00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:12,360
Speaker 15: the Venezuela model, where you have a Delsa Rodriguez type figure,

602
00:33:12,440 --> 00:33:16,320
Speaker 15: someone who is technically on paper of the regime, but

603
00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:18,840
Speaker 15: she's he or she is basically just doing the biddings

604
00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:19,560
Speaker 15: of the United States.

605
00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:25,240
Speaker 2: And in reality, if that doesn't happen, if the regime

606
00:33:25,600 --> 00:33:30,680
Speaker 2: manages to hold on for weeks, months, and we've got

607
00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:35,240
Speaker 2: the midterms looming, how will that factor into the equation.

608
00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:38,480
Speaker 2: Because this is a conflict you would think the president

609
00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:41,920
Speaker 2: would like to wrap up well before the midterms.

610
00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:47,080
Speaker 15: It's a great question, and I think certainly Republicans would

611
00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:50,800
Speaker 15: prefer that this would be wound up sooner rather than later.

612
00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:53,400
Speaker 15: I think no one wants to head into into August, September,

613
00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:56,840
Speaker 15: October with a month long campaign in the Middle East

614
00:33:57,400 --> 00:34:00,560
Speaker 15: front the center for voters. The big question comes to

615
00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:02,560
Speaker 15: the price of oil. What is going to happen here

616
00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:04,200
Speaker 15: When it comes to oil, energy is com of the

617
00:34:04,280 --> 00:34:07,120
Speaker 15: mother's milk of prices. More generally, if you buy any goods,

618
00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:09,960
Speaker 15: if you purchase food the supermarkets, it's it's all downstream

619
00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:12,840
Speaker 15: of energy because those goods were transported there on tankers,

620
00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:16,280
Speaker 15: on airplanes, on trucks. It literally all comes from energy.

621
00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:18,480
Speaker 15: So wherever the oil markets are, I think it's going

622
00:34:18,560 --> 00:34:21,200
Speaker 15: to be the number one factor here. And oil has spiked,

623
00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:23,239
Speaker 15: It hasn't spiked quite as much as people, I think,

624
00:34:23,239 --> 00:34:24,960
Speaker 15: in many ways thought it would because America is now

625
00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:27,720
Speaker 15: the role's number one exporter actually of oil and natural gas.

626
00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:29,919
Speaker 15: So let's see what happens with the Street of Horror Moves.

627
00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:33,280
Speaker 15: And I guess Trump's message to our NATO quote unquote

628
00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:35,319
Speaker 15: allies is pretty clear, which is, you guys should help us.

629
00:34:35,320 --> 00:34:37,839
Speaker 15: You guys should help us secure the Street of Horror Moves,

630
00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:40,279
Speaker 15: which is this twenty one mile choke point that iron

631
00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:43,520
Speaker 15: controls there. Make sure the energy flows there. Frankly, he

632
00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:46,319
Speaker 15: can say the cure starmer Manual coronandius guys there. You know,

633
00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:48,640
Speaker 15: you guys should care about the price of gas, just

634
00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:50,759
Speaker 15: like we should. Guess what, we all drive cars, we

635
00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:53,839
Speaker 15: all fly on planes there. So it's Trump thus far

636
00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:57,840
Speaker 15: has not, I apparently, been able to convince our veryfeckless,

637
00:34:57,880 --> 00:35:00,920
Speaker 15: weak minded European quote unquote allies join us on this

638
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:03,399
Speaker 15: particular mission, but God willing to read a delgat done

639
00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:06,760
Speaker 15: and I think any midterm implications will be a suage

640
00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:07,799
Speaker 15: if that happens.

641
00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:09,439
Speaker 4: Now.

642
00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:14,040
Speaker 2: A top counter terrorism official, Joe Kent, has resigned over

643
00:35:14,080 --> 00:35:18,440
Speaker 2: the war with Iran. He claims that Israel has misled

644
00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:20,799
Speaker 2: President Donald Trump into this conflict.

645
00:35:21,440 --> 00:35:23,239
Speaker 4: But Josh, despite.

646
00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:27,920
Speaker 2: Claims that the war is splitting MAGA, the polls say otherwise.

647
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:28,800
Speaker 4: Here is CNN.

648
00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:31,920
Speaker 17: You know, sometimes you look at the polling data and

649
00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:34,480
Speaker 17: there are numbers that just jump off the screen at you.

650
00:35:34,880 --> 00:35:37,720
Speaker 1: And this is one of those. Because just take a look.

651
00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:42,560
Speaker 17: Here, MAGA GOP a view of Trump approve one hundred percent,

652
00:35:42,719 --> 00:35:45,520
Speaker 17: one hundred percent. If you are a member of MAGA

653
00:35:45,560 --> 00:35:49,839
Speaker 17: and the GOP you approve of Donald John Trump zero

654
00:35:50,360 --> 00:35:52,320
Speaker 17: percent say that they disapprove.

655
00:35:52,520 --> 00:35:53,279
Speaker 6: You don't have to be.

656
00:35:53,200 --> 00:35:56,040
Speaker 17: A mathematical genius to know you can't go higher than

657
00:35:56,080 --> 00:35:58,600
Speaker 17: one hundred percent. Here is the nineteen hundred and seventy

658
00:35:58,600 --> 00:36:00,760
Speaker 17: two Miami doph Oh.

659
00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:03,440
Speaker 2: Gosh, I love seeing those poll numbers on CNN of

660
00:36:03,480 --> 00:36:08,120
Speaker 2: all places. But we keep hearing about the magabase being

661
00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:14,480
Speaker 2: spleet the America First agenda being in tatters and Republicans

662
00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:18,040
Speaker 2: being upset with the president, But like, the polling is

663
00:36:18,080 --> 00:36:20,480
Speaker 2: fairly consistent, and that one is pretty emphatic.

664
00:36:20,560 --> 00:36:26,319
Speaker 15: Josh, Yeah, the polling is very consistent. So that's up

665
00:36:26,440 --> 00:36:28,760
Speaker 15: the thumbs up thumbs down. When it comes to MAGA

666
00:36:28,760 --> 00:36:31,200
Speaker 15: approof of Donald Trump, the polling on the specific run

667
00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:34,840
Speaker 15: Operation Reader among self described Mac Republicans is pretty unanimous.

668
00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:37,480
Speaker 15: Across the board as well, anywhere between eighty percent and

669
00:36:37,560 --> 00:36:42,080
Speaker 15: ninety percent of mag Republicans support President Trump's crusade against

670
00:36:42,080 --> 00:36:44,600
Speaker 15: the Iranian regime. This is really not a matter of doubt. Now,

671
00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:46,400
Speaker 15: you would think that it is a matter of some

672
00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:49,520
Speaker 15: question listening to people like Tucker Carlson and Candice Owens

673
00:36:49,520 --> 00:36:52,680
Speaker 15: and unfortunately these days increasingly making Kelly as well, and

674
00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:54,879
Speaker 15: it's just not the case. It is simply not true

675
00:36:54,920 --> 00:36:57,480
Speaker 15: that this is a matter of debate among self identified

676
00:36:57,520 --> 00:36:59,640
Speaker 15: mag Republicans, which of course raised the question as to

677
00:36:59,640 --> 00:37:02,480
Speaker 15: why there are some podcasters like the ones I just

678
00:37:02,520 --> 00:37:04,680
Speaker 15: mentioned who want to make it seem like there is

679
00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:07,440
Speaker 15: a very lively debate and perhaps that that's a conversation

680
00:37:07,520 --> 00:37:09,920
Speaker 15: from the for another day In my estimation rita, it

681
00:37:09,960 --> 00:37:12,759
Speaker 15: comes to twenty twenty eight and attempting to define what

682
00:37:12,800 --> 00:37:15,960
Speaker 15: the American right looks like post Donald Trump. But for

683
00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:18,560
Speaker 15: now I think we can say, to Joe Kent, who

684
00:37:18,680 --> 00:37:21,279
Speaker 15: was on this week, good freaking riddance, because, as Donald

685
00:37:21,280 --> 00:37:23,640
Speaker 15: Trump himself said of the Oval Office when he was

686
00:37:23,680 --> 00:37:26,640
Speaker 15: asked by reporter, if you don't consider Aram a threat

687
00:37:26,680 --> 00:37:29,000
Speaker 15: to the United States, you should not be working for

688
00:37:29,040 --> 00:37:31,800
Speaker 15: the United States government's period, full stop, end of story.

689
00:37:31,800 --> 00:37:35,360
Speaker 15: In fact, Joe Kent ran to Tucker Carlson's show immediately,

690
00:37:35,480 --> 00:37:38,160
Speaker 15: very predictable, of course, to give his very first post

691
00:37:38,200 --> 00:37:42,120
Speaker 15: resignation interview, and in this interview he actually I was

692
00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:44,880
Speaker 15: shocked to see this. He actually said that the Irani regime,

693
00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:49,080
Speaker 15: come many years ago, issued a fatwah so a schiied

694
00:37:49,120 --> 00:37:53,399
Speaker 15: Islamic ruling saying that the Islamic regime there cannot under

695
00:37:53,440 --> 00:37:56,959
Speaker 15: Islamic law ever get nuclear weapons, which he never did.

696
00:37:57,000 --> 00:38:00,400
Speaker 15: This is literally pro Tehran at Jiprop. That's been sementy

697
00:38:00,480 --> 00:38:02,840
Speaker 15: across Western media for decades. But he felt for this

698
00:38:02,920 --> 00:38:05,719
Speaker 15: hook line and sinker. This was the former director of

699
00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:09,240
Speaker 15: the counter Terrorism Center within the Office of the Director

700
00:38:09,280 --> 00:38:12,239
Speaker 15: of National intelligence. So the relephant question read we should

701
00:38:12,239 --> 00:38:14,719
Speaker 15: be asking here is how the heck did this guy

702
00:38:14,840 --> 00:38:16,680
Speaker 15: get his job in the first place. That's what I'm

703
00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:17,359
Speaker 15: trying to figure out.

704
00:38:19,200 --> 00:38:21,240
Speaker 4: Josh Hamma, thank you so much for your time tonight,

705
00:38:22,040 --> 00:38:22,359
Speaker 4: you bet.

706
00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:24,920
Speaker 2: Thanks for still to come, We'll get the latest on

707
00:38:25,080 --> 00:38:29,040
Speaker 2: Prince Harry and Meghan Markles falling out with Netflix. Kinsey

708
00:38:29,080 --> 00:38:42,120
Speaker 2: Schofield it joins me next, welcome back, joining me now

709
00:38:42,239 --> 00:38:45,800
Speaker 2: celebrity and royal commentator Kinsey Schofield. Kinsey, we have a

710
00:38:45,840 --> 00:38:48,480
Speaker 2: lot to talk about, a lot of royal news. But

711
00:38:48,560 --> 00:38:51,000
Speaker 2: before we get into that, let's check in on so

712
00:38:51,080 --> 00:38:54,600
Speaker 2: called country music star Maren Morris. I've got to say

713
00:38:55,080 --> 00:38:58,000
Speaker 2: never heard of her, and I like country music. She's

714
00:38:58,200 --> 00:39:03,080
Speaker 2: previously labeled a genre as toxic, and she's a blasted

715
00:39:03,080 --> 00:39:06,160
Speaker 2: Donald Trump and his supporters In this video we're about

716
00:39:06,239 --> 00:39:09,920
Speaker 2: to show you, it's quite a rant.

717
00:39:10,200 --> 00:39:15,879
Speaker 8: He is a dementia written, diaper clad cornball.

718
00:39:16,680 --> 00:39:17,680
Speaker 4: X TV host.

719
00:39:18,320 --> 00:39:21,680
Speaker 8: You voted for this and you got them boozled, and

720
00:39:21,760 --> 00:39:25,560
Speaker 8: I get it. Like Fox News is a propaganda machine

721
00:39:25,600 --> 00:39:30,239
Speaker 8: of just like cocoa melon brain rot for boomers, but

722
00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:39,400
Speaker 8: like this is literally the result of employing and voting

723
00:39:39,560 --> 00:39:45,719
Speaker 8: for losers, and Pete Hegsath, Oh my god, girl, his

724
00:39:47,040 --> 00:39:48,440
Speaker 8: alcoholic sideburns.

725
00:39:48,800 --> 00:39:49,879
Speaker 4: You're done, you know what.

726
00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:53,120
Speaker 2: I've never heard of her, but she's got those crazy eyes, Kinsey,

727
00:39:53,239 --> 00:39:58,120
Speaker 2: These these mad ranchers that film themselves always, I've got

728
00:39:58,120 --> 00:39:59,080
Speaker 2: the crazy eyes.

729
00:39:59,560 --> 00:40:00,840
Speaker 4: And she's also said.

730
00:40:00,600 --> 00:40:04,520
Speaker 2: That she will never forgive her fellow Americans who voted

731
00:40:04,560 --> 00:40:05,520
Speaker 2: for President Trump.

732
00:40:07,239 --> 00:40:09,719
Speaker 18: I mean, I have heard of her, and I can

733
00:40:09,719 --> 00:40:11,960
Speaker 18: tell you that I don't think this woman's ever had

734
00:40:11,960 --> 00:40:15,759
Speaker 18: a good day. Anytime I do hear about her, she's complaining.

735
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:20,000
Speaker 18: She is a miserable human being. Look, Maren Morris, she

736
00:40:20,120 --> 00:40:23,920
Speaker 18: built her brand inside country music and then spent years

737
00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:28,480
Speaker 18: criticizing the very audience that sustained her. At some point,

738
00:40:28,880 --> 00:40:33,319
Speaker 18: that disconnect catches up. Insulting millions of Americans, including supporters

739
00:40:33,320 --> 00:40:37,600
Speaker 18: of Donald Trump might generate headlines, but it is not

740
00:40:37,840 --> 00:40:40,880
Speaker 18: a long term career strategy. In fact, I'd argue that

741
00:40:40,920 --> 00:40:41,839
Speaker 18: it's alienation.

742
00:40:43,719 --> 00:40:48,040
Speaker 2: M Yeah, it's not very clever, But then you see

743
00:40:48,080 --> 00:40:50,440
Speaker 2: that constantly in the celebrity world, don't you.

744
00:40:50,440 --> 00:40:52,600
Speaker 4: You saw it at the Oscars.

745
00:40:52,160 --> 00:40:56,839
Speaker 2: Where these actors are quite happy to alienate at least

746
00:40:56,880 --> 00:41:00,680
Speaker 2: half the country with their political posturing seems to be

747
00:41:01,520 --> 00:41:04,080
Speaker 2: a price they're willing to pay, perhaps because it really

748
00:41:04,120 --> 00:41:07,759
Speaker 2: isn't a price because the entertainment industry is dominated by

749
00:41:07,800 --> 00:41:08,680
Speaker 2: the left.

750
00:41:09,680 --> 00:41:12,799
Speaker 18: No, that's a very good point. But she I will

751
00:41:12,840 --> 00:41:15,640
Speaker 18: say with Merin Morris, it's been a roller coaster because

752
00:41:15,680 --> 00:41:18,480
Speaker 18: she was temporarily shunned when she talked about the country

753
00:41:18,560 --> 00:41:22,480
Speaker 18: music industry being toxic. I don't know how she wormed

754
00:41:22,520 --> 00:41:24,319
Speaker 18: her way back in. I think they felt sorry for

755
00:41:24,360 --> 00:41:29,560
Speaker 18: her after her divorce. But she's back to, you know, complaining.

756
00:41:30,920 --> 00:41:33,399
Speaker 2: Well, you know what, she should put that in a song,

757
00:41:33,560 --> 00:41:34,640
Speaker 2: because you know that's.

758
00:41:34,480 --> 00:41:35,880
Speaker 4: A tire genre.

759
00:41:36,160 --> 00:41:40,320
Speaker 2: Subgenre of country music is just whining about your life.

760
00:41:40,400 --> 00:41:41,879
Speaker 4: So yeah, put it into song.

761
00:41:42,400 --> 00:41:46,480
Speaker 2: Now we're hearing more about Prince Harry and Megan Michael's

762
00:41:46,600 --> 00:41:51,280
Speaker 2: falling out with NETFLIXX. Variety magazine has spoken to six insiders,

763
00:41:51,920 --> 00:41:55,840
Speaker 2: and it appears the streaming giants disenchantment with the couple

764
00:41:56,120 --> 00:41:57,719
Speaker 2: is not a recent phenomenon.

765
00:41:57,800 --> 00:41:58,760
Speaker 4: Kinsey, I'm shocked.

766
00:41:58,800 --> 00:42:01,760
Speaker 2: I'm shocked to read that the Sussex's may be difficult

767
00:42:01,840 --> 00:42:02,680
Speaker 2: to deal with.

768
00:42:04,040 --> 00:42:07,040
Speaker 18: So do you remember when Variety gave Megan Markle their

769
00:42:07,040 --> 00:42:12,120
Speaker 18: magazine cover right after Queen Elizabeth died, she allegedly kept

770
00:42:12,160 --> 00:42:14,920
Speaker 18: a few pieces. I kept a few outfits from that shoot.

771
00:42:14,960 --> 00:42:18,680
Speaker 18: We actually saw it regurgitated in as Ever promotion, So

772
00:42:18,719 --> 00:42:21,760
Speaker 18: it's wild to see Variety go after them. My favorite

773
00:42:21,760 --> 00:42:24,919
Speaker 18: story from this piece, Rita, is that when Megan would

774
00:42:24,920 --> 00:42:29,560
Speaker 18: get upset during Netflix's zoom calls, she would just log out.

775
00:42:30,120 --> 00:42:33,000
Speaker 18: She would sign out, and then like the marketing team

776
00:42:33,040 --> 00:42:36,360
Speaker 18: would get reprimanded over something that Megan overheard on the

777
00:42:36,480 --> 00:42:39,920
Speaker 18: zoom call, Like are you six years old to just

778
00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:42,720
Speaker 18: storm out of a meeting when you don't agree with something?

779
00:42:43,520 --> 00:42:47,200
Speaker 18: There are several other revelations in this Variety piece about that.

780
00:42:47,280 --> 00:42:49,520
Speaker 18: But yet, like you said, are we surprised that these

781
00:42:49,560 --> 00:42:54,040
Speaker 18: two are difficult to collaborate with? Absolutely not, after six

782
00:42:54,160 --> 00:42:55,920
Speaker 18: years of failure after failure.

783
00:42:56,120 --> 00:43:00,680
Speaker 2: No, Well, if there weren't families con't with them, I

784
00:43:00,680 --> 00:43:03,080
Speaker 2: think that's a pretty good sign that that may have

785
00:43:03,160 --> 00:43:08,239
Speaker 2: some issues now. Investigative journalist Tom Bauer has penned a

786
00:43:08,400 --> 00:43:12,840
Speaker 2: new book about the Sussexes called Betrayal, Powered Deceit, and

787
00:43:12,880 --> 00:43:16,680
Speaker 2: the Fight for the Future of the Royal Family, and boy,

788
00:43:16,760 --> 00:43:19,000
Speaker 2: they're not happy about that. One of the many topics

789
00:43:19,040 --> 00:43:21,960
Speaker 2: covered in the book is the turmoil at Prince Harry's

790
00:43:21,960 --> 00:43:28,480
Speaker 2: former charity and why his coup against its African chairwoman failed. Kinsey,

791
00:43:28,520 --> 00:43:31,720
Speaker 2: that was a difficult period for the Prince.

792
00:43:32,920 --> 00:43:35,160
Speaker 18: Well, and let me just tell you, if you read

793
00:43:35,200 --> 00:43:38,680
Speaker 18: between the lines of Tom Bauer's new book, it's clear

794
00:43:38,920 --> 00:43:43,200
Speaker 18: that either he spoke directly to doctor Sophi Shandaka or

795
00:43:43,800 --> 00:43:47,880
Speaker 18: someone that is intimately close to doctor Sulphi Shundaka. But

796
00:43:47,960 --> 00:43:50,800
Speaker 18: he's known for that deep sourcing, and what he's outlating

797
00:43:50,840 --> 00:43:53,360
Speaker 18: here is a pattern with Santabale. Prince Harry traded to

798
00:43:53,360 --> 00:43:57,279
Speaker 18: a certain control and he misread the room. Losing that

799
00:43:58,400 --> 00:44:03,520
Speaker 18: internal battleicularly against leadership on the ground in Africa, is

800
00:44:03,600 --> 00:44:08,680
Speaker 18: reputationally damaging because it undermines his credibility as a humanitarian,

801
00:44:08,680 --> 00:44:11,920
Speaker 18: which he's been really pushing lately to try to save Feace.

802
00:44:14,200 --> 00:44:17,879
Speaker 2: Now, let's check in on Prince William and Princess Catherine.

803
00:44:18,080 --> 00:44:21,680
Speaker 2: Last week they made some surprise stops around London, including

804
00:44:21,760 --> 00:44:25,640
Speaker 2: the Borough Market, where Kate served her husband and other

805
00:44:25,719 --> 00:44:30,360
Speaker 2: market goers coffee at the Change Please Social Enterprise Store.

806
00:44:30,840 --> 00:44:34,040
Speaker 4: Have a look, William.

807
00:44:42,239 --> 00:44:47,319
Speaker 2: One Kinsey, They're just likable. I've got to say when

808
00:44:47,320 --> 00:44:51,240
Speaker 2: you see clips like that. Despite the enormous privilege obviously

809
00:44:51,280 --> 00:44:54,880
Speaker 2: they have, particularly Prince William from the moment of his birth,

810
00:44:55,520 --> 00:44:57,360
Speaker 2: they're relatable and likable.

811
00:44:58,800 --> 00:44:59,600
Speaker 11: Oh, you're so right.

812
00:44:59,640 --> 00:45:02,879
Speaker 18: I mean it's authenticity, which is I think the other

813
00:45:02,960 --> 00:45:06,560
Speaker 18: couple completely lax. But with Catherine and Prince William, I

814
00:45:06,600 --> 00:45:09,640
Speaker 18: think that they understand that visibility matters when it comes

815
00:45:09,680 --> 00:45:14,120
Speaker 18: to the royal family, but so does tone and pouring

816
00:45:14,200 --> 00:45:17,799
Speaker 18: coffee and chatting with people. Those are low stakes, high

817
00:45:17,840 --> 00:45:22,920
Speaker 18: impact moments that reinforce their likability without feeling performative. And

818
00:45:24,000 --> 00:45:25,680
Speaker 18: I think that we all got to kick out of

819
00:45:25,719 --> 00:45:28,000
Speaker 18: some of the videos that we saw coming out of

820
00:45:28,040 --> 00:45:31,080
Speaker 18: Burrow Market last week. They were just so cute, so precious.

821
00:45:31,080 --> 00:45:32,759
Speaker 18: They were clearly enjoying themselves.

822
00:45:34,400 --> 00:45:35,359
Speaker 4: Absolutely, but we.

823
00:45:35,400 --> 00:45:39,080
Speaker 2: Have seen others try to mimic this sort of strategy

824
00:45:39,719 --> 00:45:42,719
Speaker 2: and they don't appear authentic, even when they're doing everyday

825
00:45:42,800 --> 00:45:46,960
Speaker 2: things that should come naturally. It seems so fake. But

826
00:45:47,120 --> 00:45:50,560
Speaker 2: you mentioned the videos out of this market visit. This

827
00:45:50,800 --> 00:45:52,880
Speaker 2: was got to be my favorite. This is Prince William

828
00:45:53,320 --> 00:45:56,160
Speaker 2: taking a phone call at a Cornish bakery from a

829
00:45:56,200 --> 00:45:59,200
Speaker 2: customer whose name he thought was Juicy.

830
00:46:00,040 --> 00:46:07,719
Speaker 12: Do you want to take an order from you, I

831
00:46:07,719 --> 00:46:12,160
Speaker 12: can do that. I got plenty of Just be some

832
00:46:12,239 --> 00:46:17,400
Speaker 12: fresh ones now, and what name is that?

833
00:46:19,400 --> 00:46:25,839
Speaker 1: Juicy? Sorry, Jesus.

834
00:46:29,600 --> 00:46:30,040
Speaker 4: Kinsey.

835
00:46:30,160 --> 00:46:33,239
Speaker 2: I watched that whole thing and it went on for

836
00:46:33,280 --> 00:46:36,279
Speaker 2: some time. That was a lot lengthy order and a

837
00:46:36,280 --> 00:46:39,279
Speaker 2: phone call, and at no point did it reveal to

838
00:46:40,000 --> 00:46:42,319
Speaker 2: the caller who it was on the other end.

839
00:46:42,320 --> 00:46:44,480
Speaker 4: They thought they were just talking to some Uh.

840
00:46:45,440 --> 00:46:49,520
Speaker 18: I don't know, Piemaker, right, I mean, I have to

841
00:46:49,560 --> 00:46:51,279
Speaker 18: be honest with you. I'm going to know if Prince

842
00:46:51,320 --> 00:46:53,319
Speaker 18: William's on the other line, and I'm going to lose

843
00:46:53,360 --> 00:46:58,040
Speaker 18: my mind. But Josie was completely oblivious, unaware. She just

844
00:46:58,080 --> 00:47:03,359
Speaker 18: wanted her power. I know I'm pronouncing that wrong, but yeah,

845
00:47:03,400 --> 00:47:05,279
Speaker 18: I thought that that was such a cute video too.

846
00:47:05,440 --> 00:47:10,400
Speaker 18: Again with the authenticity, again with the you know, I

847
00:47:10,480 --> 00:47:12,040
Speaker 18: just think he's going to be such a great king

848
00:47:12,080 --> 00:47:15,440
Speaker 18: one day. And I'm not saying that to disparage King Charles.

849
00:47:15,560 --> 00:47:18,760
Speaker 18: I just say that because he is so down to earth,

850
00:47:18,840 --> 00:47:22,080
Speaker 18: and we never ever ever got that from King Charles.

851
00:47:22,200 --> 00:47:25,280
Speaker 18: King Charles is from a different generation. He was always

852
00:47:25,280 --> 00:47:28,080
Speaker 18: a little stuffy, God love him, and Prince William just

853
00:47:28,200 --> 00:47:29,759
Speaker 18: he always he hits the mark.

854
00:47:31,680 --> 00:47:33,840
Speaker 4: Now let's talk about our Nicole.

855
00:47:34,080 --> 00:47:38,440
Speaker 2: Fresh details about Nicole Kidman split from Keith Urban Kidman

856
00:47:38,840 --> 00:47:42,880
Speaker 2: confidants have revealed the humiliating details of a spat between

857
00:47:42,920 --> 00:47:45,920
Speaker 2: the pair and the reason why their daughter Sunday Royce

858
00:47:46,000 --> 00:47:50,480
Speaker 2: snubbed her father Kinsey. Oh have you tell us about that?

859
00:47:50,520 --> 00:47:53,400
Speaker 2: But I've got to say she's never looked better. Nicole

860
00:47:53,600 --> 00:47:56,680
Speaker 2: was absolutely stunning at the Oscars.

861
00:47:56,680 --> 00:47:59,160
Speaker 18: Oh my gosh, her waist in that dress. And we

862
00:47:59,280 --> 00:48:00,799
Speaker 18: you know, I was with it group. We were doing

863
00:48:00,800 --> 00:48:03,839
Speaker 18: Oscar commentary and we were talking about how Keith will

864
00:48:03,880 --> 00:48:07,680
Speaker 18: never have this lifestyle again with Nicole, Like, look at

865
00:48:07,680 --> 00:48:10,200
Speaker 18: what he's thrown away. He's chasing after these twenty year

866
00:48:10,200 --> 00:48:13,080
Speaker 18: olds that are playing a House of Blues gigs Enjoy.

867
00:48:13,960 --> 00:48:17,759
Speaker 18: But yeah, so I agree Nicole looks phenomenal, you know,

868
00:48:17,840 --> 00:48:23,040
Speaker 18: but it in classic Hollywood personal turmoil unfolding behind a

869
00:48:23,200 --> 00:48:26,640
Speaker 18: very polished public image. I mean, if these reports are accurate,

870
00:48:26,680 --> 00:48:30,600
Speaker 18: it suggests Keith really wanted to live the single life

871
00:48:30,760 --> 00:48:33,600
Speaker 18: and is having and we've discussed this between you and I,

872
00:48:34,120 --> 00:48:37,920
Speaker 18: a midlife crisis. Some friends around him are saying it

873
00:48:37,960 --> 00:48:41,560
Speaker 18: appears to be a midlife crisis Since the split, sources

874
00:48:41,600 --> 00:48:44,360
Speaker 18: say he's turned into a totally different person and that

875
00:48:44,480 --> 00:48:47,920
Speaker 18: Nicole doesn't even know him anymore. She doesn't even recognize

876
00:48:47,920 --> 00:48:51,640
Speaker 18: who he is. But apparently he was numb over an

877
00:48:51,680 --> 00:48:54,719
Speaker 18: interview his daughter gave to an outlet where she talked

878
00:48:54,760 --> 00:48:57,759
Speaker 18: about how she was so inspired by her mother and

879
00:48:57,840 --> 00:49:03,000
Speaker 18: completely ignored her father's presence, and that apparently devastated him.

880
00:49:04,800 --> 00:49:08,120
Speaker 2: Now, before you go, the Spice Girls have reportedly canceled

881
00:49:08,160 --> 00:49:11,600
Speaker 2: their highly anticipated thirtieth anniversary reunion.

882
00:49:11,640 --> 00:49:12,239
Speaker 4: I hope this.

883
00:49:12,200 --> 00:49:15,880
Speaker 2: News is not right, that the reports are the Victoria Beckham,

884
00:49:15,920 --> 00:49:19,560
Speaker 2: Melanie Brown and Melanie Chisholm are the ones who failed

885
00:49:19,600 --> 00:49:24,239
Speaker 2: to reach an agreement in time, Kinsey. If this is accurate,

886
00:49:24,560 --> 00:49:27,280
Speaker 2: it's going to be devastating for gen X women everywhere.

887
00:49:27,360 --> 00:49:30,120
Speaker 2: Are the egos just too big amongst this group?

888
00:49:31,200 --> 00:49:33,040
Speaker 18: Look, I think that if we want to end the

889
00:49:33,080 --> 00:49:36,080
Speaker 18: war in Ukraine, we get the Spice Girls back together.

890
00:49:36,400 --> 00:49:39,120
Speaker 18: Trump promised us that he was going to end the war,

891
00:49:39,239 --> 00:49:40,680
Speaker 18: and all he has to do I think is make

892
00:49:40,760 --> 00:49:43,640
Speaker 18: five phone calls. Okay, but yeah, you know, they're all

893
00:49:43,640 --> 00:49:46,839
Speaker 18: they've all, they've all made brands for themselves. I'm sure

894
00:49:46,840 --> 00:49:49,680
Speaker 18: it is difficult to coordinate with that many high profile

895
00:49:49,760 --> 00:49:53,920
Speaker 18: personalities and different priorities and business interests. But please, for

896
00:49:53,960 --> 00:49:55,719
Speaker 18: the love of God, give us what we want, give

897
00:49:55,800 --> 00:49:58,360
Speaker 18: us what we need. World peace and that's a Spice

898
00:49:58,400 --> 00:49:59,120
Speaker 18: Girl reunion.

899
00:50:01,000 --> 00:50:03,600
Speaker 2: Kinsis Goophiel. Thank you so much for your time, and

900
00:50:03,760 --> 00:50:05,759
Speaker 2: that's all the time we have.

901
00:50:06,000 --> 00:50:08,480
Speaker 4: Don't go anywhere. Newsnight is up next
