1
00:00:02,720 --> 00:00:07,120
Speaker 1: On Skyans Australia. This is the winder Panalty Show.

2
00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:11,360
Speaker 2: Good evening and welcome to the Reader Paney Show. We've

3
00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:14,360
Speaker 2: got a massive program for you. Joining me tonight is

4
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:17,560
Speaker 2: the great Douglas Murray and my word he has come

5
00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:18,759
Speaker 2: back in top four.

6
00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:20,720
Speaker 3: We do not want to miss that interview.

7
00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:24,520
Speaker 2: Also tonight Gary Hargrave will tell us about the enormous

8
00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:29,080
Speaker 2: luxury travel bill, Former Victorian Treasurer Tim Palace racked up

9
00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:32,680
Speaker 2: and Josh Hammer will have the latest from the US

10
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:36,640
Speaker 2: and another extended edition of Left is Losing It featuring

11
00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:40,919
Speaker 2: the leader of the Free World lying shamelessly and incoherently.

12
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:45,199
Speaker 4: Look, let's catch up my mind a border. When I

13
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:48,000
Speaker 4: became president, the numbers came way down Ama.

14
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:51,559
Speaker 2: But first, with the inaugurration of President Donald Trump just

15
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:54,960
Speaker 2: days away, there are growing concerns surrounding this strength of

16
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:58,880
Speaker 2: Australia's relationship with the US and how it's been undermined

17
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:01,480
Speaker 2: by not just the policy of the Albanezy government but

18
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:06,120
Speaker 2: also the very unwise anti Trump commentary we've heard from

19
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:09,560
Speaker 2: a number of senior ministers over the years. Joining me

20
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:12,760
Speaker 2: now for more on this, the Sky News contributor Gary

21
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:17,640
Speaker 2: Hardgrave Gary. How does the Prime minister fix this issue?

22
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:21,480
Speaker 2: Guessing Kevin Rudd isn't going to be a great deal

23
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:21,880
Speaker 2: of help.

24
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:25,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, well, I mean Albo is not one of the

25
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 5: twelve world leaders invited to the inauguration, so there's that.

26
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:32,600
Speaker 5: The only way we've got an invite there is that.

27
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:36,280
Speaker 5: I think Kevin Rudd is helping with the catering core,

28
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 5: and Penny wan is there obviously to keep an eye

29
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:44,399
Speaker 5: on Kevin Rudd. Look, I think we're going along purely

30
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:46,920
Speaker 5: because we're one of the quad countries. So was it

31
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:49,920
Speaker 5: kind of they had to invite them along? But look,

32
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:54,000
Speaker 5: it's embarrassing, but the American people have made their decision,

33
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:55,320
Speaker 5: and I think the world is going to be a

34
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 5: safer and better place a week or so from now.

35
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 5: I actually think there's going to be a liber day

36
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 5: for a lot of people and a lot of big companies.

37
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 5: And unfortunately read it, there's a lot of companies in

38
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:09,680
Speaker 5: this country who are now still being now forced by

39
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 5: government to do the things that this government wants them

40
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:14,680
Speaker 5: to do. And we're seeing all this stuff out of

41
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 5: California about you can't do this and you can't say that,

42
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 5: and indeed, you look at where Zuckerberg were landed with Meta.

43
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:25,680
Speaker 5: You know, suddenly Biden's going and now he's a liberated,

44
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 5: so free free speech guy. I think the same thing's

45
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 5: going to happen in Australia a few months from now.

46
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 5: Albow is going and people can't wait to see the

47
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:37,919
Speaker 5: back end of him. He's not relevant, and I actually

48
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:39,840
Speaker 5: don't even think he needs to go to the inauguration

49
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:42,239
Speaker 5: because you've got you've got Biden there, and Albow is

50
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 5: our Biden. We've got a few state and municipal leaders

51
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 5: around this country who are our Gavin Newsom's. But you know,

52
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 5: there are people in this country who are fed up

53
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:55,520
Speaker 5: to the back teeth see Trump as a liberator for

54
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 5: this nation as well, and Albow is just well, we're

55
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 5: putting up with him for a few more months. That's

56
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:02,799
Speaker 5: what I pray and I think is the case.

57
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 2: Now, what do you think about former Foreign Minister Julie

58
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:14,079
Speaker 2: Bishop saying that Kevin Rudd stays as ambassador may be numbered.

59
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 2: It was an interesting commentary from Bishop.

60
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 3: Do you share that point of view?

61
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 5: Well, I suspect it's true, and it's not up for

62
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:26,639
Speaker 5: Donald Trump to tell us who he will accept as

63
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:30,799
Speaker 5: our ambassador, but the Prime minister, this prime Minister Albanese,

64
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 5: he cannot read any room he's in. He's chosen the

65
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 5: wrong side of every argument. Did not know what to

66
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 5: do after what happened in October of twenty three in Israel,

67
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 5: did not know really what to do after the synagogue

68
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 5: fire in Melbourne. The guy has got no leadership understanding

69
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:51,800
Speaker 5: about how the world is now operating in the post

70
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 5: Trump president or in the Trump presidency era that we're

71
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 5: about to go into. So I suspect he'll hang in

72
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 5: there with Kevin for a little while longer. But I

73
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 5: think Kevin will have what we used to say in politics,

74
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 5: a coughing fit, and he'll probably have to come home.

75
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 5: He came to Queensland over the summer months to look

76
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 5: at his beachside apartment up on the Sunny coast. As

77
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 5: I understand it, and good luck to him, But I

78
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:18,160
Speaker 5: just think that Albow can't read any room he's in

79
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 5: in this country, so how can he actually read a

80
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:24,440
Speaker 5: room in another country? The guy just doesn't understand it.

81
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:30,160
Speaker 2: Now, let's go to revelations that former Victorian Treasurer ty

82
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 2: in Palace racked up over six hundred and fifty thousand

83
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:39,840
Speaker 2: dollars in taxpayer under luxury travel, including over seventy two

84
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 2: thousand dollars GARY in travel and accommodation costs for his

85
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:48,800
Speaker 2: farewell tour, which included the UK, France, Italy, Spain all

86
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 2: the nice spots. This was in October, shortly before he

87
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:56,839
Speaker 2: quit politics. I mean, how can he possibly justify that?

88
00:04:56,920 --> 00:05:01,159
Speaker 2: And let's not forget he's a man who bears a

89
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:05,160
Speaker 2: great deal of responsibility for sending this state broke. Victoria's

90
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 2: got the biggest state debt of any state in this country.

91
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:13,599
Speaker 5: And I was in Melbourne for a couple of days

92
00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:16,680
Speaker 5: in the last weekend and read I got to tell

93
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:19,040
Speaker 5: you the great city of Melbourne is in a palace

94
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:22,599
Speaker 5: state because of Palace And I think that's really his name,

95
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 5: Dim Palas. I mean, it's just the problem with all

96
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:31,240
Speaker 5: of these provincial leaders. They think that they are uber important,

97
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 5: that there's supermen when it comes to anything, and that

98
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 5: their view of the world must prevail. But what we

99
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:41,040
Speaker 5: need is for Victoria to be punched back into the

100
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:44,960
Speaker 5: success that Australia needs it to have. A complete change

101
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 5: of focus has got to come. I don't think there's

102
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:51,880
Speaker 5: the capacity within the latest premiere that the Labor Party

103
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:55,839
Speaker 5: have thrown up because the inbuilt attitude of too many

104
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 5: Victorians is that it's doom and gloom. I think it's

105
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:01,800
Speaker 5: really sad. You know, there was a big rainstorm you

106
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 5: might record it on Sunday morning as I was walking

107
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:08,119
Speaker 5: up Burke Street and even the eves of inner city

108
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:12,719
Speaker 5: shops were leaking. There's no basic maintenance being done. You

109
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 5: just know, reader, that there is a genuine lethargy in

110
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:20,480
Speaker 5: Victoria that Australia desperately needs an end to. And Tim

111
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:24,280
Speaker 5: Palace should hang his head in shame. And any opportunity

112
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:26,599
Speaker 5: Victorians have to tell a Labor Party so in a

113
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:27,719
Speaker 5: ballot box they should take.

114
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 2: Well, we had the new Opposition leader, Brad Batten on

115
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:38,719
Speaker 2: Sky News yesterday. He was interviewed by Peter Kredlin. I'm

116
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:41,680
Speaker 2: interested in your thoughts on him.

117
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:43,159
Speaker 1: Could he pull a Chris of.

118
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 3: Foley and get the Coalition back into power.

119
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:50,960
Speaker 5: Well, what he needs to do is to actually stand

120
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:53,839
Speaker 5: for stuff, be common sense, be value based, and actually

121
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:56,600
Speaker 5: offer an alternative viewpoint. I mean, reader, why is it

122
00:06:57,040 --> 00:07:00,160
Speaker 5: that senior public servants in governments all around this country

123
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 5: are being paid more than their ministers. You know, so

124
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 5: ministers come and go, premiers come and go, but their

125
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:08,560
Speaker 5: senior public servants are getting paid much more than the

126
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 5: politicians that are meant to be in charge on behalf

127
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 5: of us. You know, They're meant to be working for us,

128
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:17,120
Speaker 5: we the people, but instead they become the masters of

129
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 5: us with their policy settings. So what Batman has got

130
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:23,360
Speaker 5: to do is the goat role and bring Victorians with him,

131
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 5: and if he does, then he's deserving him.

132
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 2: You've got to tackle the bureaucracy, Marry, You're so right.

133
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 2: He's got to tackle that bureaucracy that is at of control.

134
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:34,600
Speaker 3: We've run out of time. Thank you so much for

135
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 3: your time tonight, Gary. Thanks Now, I'm.

136
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:40,480
Speaker 2: Thrilled to have my next guest on the Rita Pattery

137
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:43,280
Speaker 2: Show every week for another year. He is one of

138
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 2: the finest thinkers of his generation, the author of international.

139
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 3: Best sellers including The Madness.

140
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 2: Of Crowds, The Strange Death of Europe, and The War

141
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 2: on the West. Douglas Murray, welcome back. We've got plenty

142
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 2: to discuss. Let's start in the US. We're a week

143
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:02,320
Speaker 2: away from the second Trump term. What do you say

144
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:06,040
Speaker 2: as the greatest priority of the president elect.

145
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 3: He has quite a mystic cleanup.

146
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:10,440
Speaker 1: He does.

147
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:12,520
Speaker 6: I mean, I think the priorities are obviously going to

148
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 6: be what he said on the campaign trail. The priorities

149
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 6: had to be have to be securing the southern borders,

150
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:22,160
Speaker 6: securing the borders of the United States of America, preventing

151
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:28,560
Speaker 6: the illegal migration that's gone on so extraordinarily in recent years.

152
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:30,920
Speaker 1: Secondly, of course, there'll be.

153
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:33,240
Speaker 6: The whole issue of the economy, of.

154
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 1: Rebuilding the American economy.

155
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:36,960
Speaker 6: And as it was, the third thing, and as you say,

156
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:41,200
Speaker 6: it's a pretty big intray that he's got is going

157
00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:44,280
Speaker 6: to be a world affairs. There's a lot that's gone

158
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:46,679
Speaker 6: on in the world in the last four years that

159
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:49,040
Speaker 6: Trump said would not have gone on if he'd been

160
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 6: in the White House. Now he's going to be back

161
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:53,760
Speaker 6: in the White House, and it's his chance to show.

162
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:56,319
Speaker 1: The difference between Trump and Biden.

163
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:02,360
Speaker 2: Now, in many ways, California serves as a warning to

164
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:04,640
Speaker 2: much of the US of what can happen when the

165
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:08,960
Speaker 2: Democrats enjoy one party rule, when they can run a mark.

166
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:11,920
Speaker 2: It is the bluest of blue states and is embraced

167
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:16,480
Speaker 2: just about every far left policy, including DEI madness even

168
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 2: in the fire department. Let's have a listen here to

169
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:25,640
Speaker 2: the Los Angeles Fire Department Assistant Chief Kristen Larsen talking

170
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:26,120
Speaker 2: about the.

171
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:28,679
Speaker 3: Importance of diversity, equity, and inclusion.

172
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:32,320
Speaker 7: You want to see somebody that responds to your house,

173
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:35,080
Speaker 7: your emergency, whether it's a medical call or a fire call,

174
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:37,760
Speaker 7: that looks like you. It gives that person a little

175
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:41,319
Speaker 7: bit more ease knowing that somebody might understand their situation better.

176
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:43,960
Speaker 7: Is she strong enough to do this? Or you couldn't

177
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:46,640
Speaker 7: carry my husband out of a fire, which my response

178
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 7: is he got himself from the wrong place. If I

179
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:50,520
Speaker 7: have to carry him out of a fire.

180
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 3: He got himself in the wrong place.

181
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:56,000
Speaker 2: That would be funny, Douglas if it was a Babylon

182
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 2: b sketch, But sadly it's all too real.

183
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:03,680
Speaker 6: Absolutely, and that's including at the very top of the

184
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:07,800
Speaker 6: fire department in LA, the head of the LA Fire Department.

185
00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:11,480
Speaker 6: If you even now look at the website that she

186
00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:14,720
Speaker 6: has her bio, it's all about the fact that she's

187
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:18,199
Speaker 6: a diverse woman, that she's a proud member of the

188
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:24,040
Speaker 6: LGBTQYA plus community, and that her priority is diversity and

189
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:28,080
Speaker 6: the numscu. We just heard from there also in the

190
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:32,439
Speaker 6: fire department. I mean, I hope very much that LA

191
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:35,080
Speaker 6: voters and others take note of this.

192
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:40,280
Speaker 1: In the end, these people who talked for the diversity.

193
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:44,800
Speaker 6: Talk didn't know what they were doing in the real world. Actually,

194
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:48,520
Speaker 6: it's not about somebody who looks like you coming to

195
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:52,880
Speaker 6: your house. It's about somebody coming to your house. It's

196
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:56,720
Speaker 6: about somebody saving your house from burning down. I spoke

197
00:10:56,840 --> 00:11:01,360
Speaker 6: to residents of LA earlier this week whose home and

198
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:05,360
Speaker 6: all their belongings had been burnt to nothing, as had

199
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:10,160
Speaker 6: their whole neighborhood, and they said to me, not one fire.

200
00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:12,800
Speaker 1: Truck showed up, not one reta.

201
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:17,160
Speaker 6: Now, if I was a resident there, and I'd heard

202
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:20,920
Speaker 6: this guff for years about how important it is that

203
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:24,319
Speaker 6: a diverse woman of color should come and how empowering

204
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:27,920
Speaker 6: it is that a lesbian is head of a No. No,

205
00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:32,920
Speaker 6: you just want competent fire authorities. And that is exactly

206
00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:39,560
Speaker 6: what LA has not had. And we'll see if the

207
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:42,800
Speaker 6: appropriate lessons are learned from that or not. But this

208
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:45,560
Speaker 6: goes right up to the top. It's Governor Nuisance who

209
00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:49,160
Speaker 6: is doing this nonsense. It's the local mayor who is

210
00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:52,000
Speaker 6: doing this nonsense, heads of the fire service who are

211
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:55,320
Speaker 6: doing this nonsense. And in the end, somebody has to

212
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:57,840
Speaker 6: be responsible for the fact that there was no water.

213
00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:00,800
Speaker 6: Somebody has to be responsible for the fact that there's

214
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:02,880
Speaker 6: no water coming out of the fire hydrants.

215
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:04,640
Speaker 1: Somebody has to be responsible for all this.

216
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:09,640
Speaker 6: And Governor Newsom has been standing intermittently, as we can

217
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:11,599
Speaker 6: see there in front of these fires, in front of

218
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:13,960
Speaker 6: these burned out buildings, talking about how we can all

219
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:16,840
Speaker 6: pull together and go forward, and all of the usual

220
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 6: inane nonsense, and the whole neighborhood's burned down and is

221
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:22,240
Speaker 6: still burning.

222
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:24,520
Speaker 1: I hope very much.

223
00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:30,280
Speaker 6: The residents who suffered from this realize that this stuff

224
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:33,680
Speaker 6: is not a joke, and things were always too late

225
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:37,240
Speaker 6: for this nonsense, and they're certainly too late for it now.

226
00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 3: Now. For many years under the Biden administration, we've seen

227
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:48,280
Speaker 3: white supremacy spoken of as the greatest threat facing America.

228
00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:52,120
Speaker 4: We single out as the most dangerous terrorist about to

229
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:52,800
Speaker 4: our homeland.

230
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:59,200
Speaker 2: There's white supremacy, and that divorce from reality worldview has

231
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:03,199
Speaker 2: for many many years infected institutions like a Department of Justice,

232
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:03,800
Speaker 2: the FBI.

233
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:05,880
Speaker 3: How do you see that.

234
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 2: Changing under Trump, particularly after the shock of the New

235
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:13,240
Speaker 2: Orleans terror attack on New Year's Day.

236
00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:18,320
Speaker 6: Well, you know, a counter terrorism and counter extremism policy

237
00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:22,320
Speaker 6: should be one of the most evidence based policies in government.

238
00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:26,520
Speaker 6: It should not be about pushing an ideology. It shouldn't

239
00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:29,480
Speaker 6: be standing in front of a particular demographic and an

240
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:33,880
Speaker 6: electorate and saying I've decided that X is the biggest threat.

241
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:36,240
Speaker 1: It should be based on what the biggest threats are.

242
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:41,160
Speaker 6: And you know this whole thing of you know that

243
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:44,520
Speaker 6: people people like Biden for years have known that they'd

244
00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:47,160
Speaker 6: get a sort of Democrat round of applause if they

245
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:51,360
Speaker 6: started talking about being against white supremacy. I mean, like

246
00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:56,360
Speaker 6: white supremacy is this thing where like everyone's agreed that

247
00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:59,800
Speaker 6: they don't want it or like it, and nobody in

248
00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:02,959
Speaker 6: the mainstream in politics or anything like that is pushing

249
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:04,160
Speaker 6: for the KKK to.

250
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:05,079
Speaker 1: Have a resurgence.

251
00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:10,120
Speaker 6: When there is the occasional whacko white supremacist, everybody's joined

252
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:13,840
Speaker 6: in condemnation of them. But what's different, of course, is

253
00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:17,720
Speaker 6: that when it's somebody who's an Islamist, as we had

254
00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:20,880
Speaker 6: a number of attacks in America Europe over Christmas carried

255
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:24,080
Speaker 6: out by people who appear to be driven by Islamic extremism.

256
00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:28,800
Speaker 6: Oh well, those same people stop being evidence based. In

257
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:32,560
Speaker 6: fact that they run away from evidence. They don't want

258
00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:35,240
Speaker 6: to talk about that, or we always get the thing

259
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:38,400
Speaker 6: of this isn't the time to talk about it, and

260
00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:40,440
Speaker 6: further down the line also.

261
00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:41,920
Speaker 1: Isn't the time to talk about it? And actually it

262
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:43,680
Speaker 1: turns out there's no time to talk about it.

263
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:46,800
Speaker 6: And I would just hope that there'll be a realistic

264
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:50,960
Speaker 6: weighing up of the threats the American homeland under the

265
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:54,360
Speaker 6: new administration and weighing up those threats wherever they come

266
00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:57,840
Speaker 6: from and dealing with them wherever they come from. But

267
00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:00,920
Speaker 6: we'll see. I mean, there's one of the things is

268
00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:05,400
Speaker 6: that residues of administrations can last an awfully long time,

269
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:09,720
Speaker 6: particularly if they're of the left. They remain effectively in

270
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:13,720
Speaker 6: the trees and forests left behind by the retreating administration.

271
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 6: And there will be whole structures in CIA, FBI, the DHS,

272
00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:28,760
Speaker 6: and others who will still be following the Democrat lead

273
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:33,480
Speaker 6: on this even once the Republicans are back in. And

274
00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:36,440
Speaker 6: that's one to really look out for, because it's one

275
00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:39,240
Speaker 6: thing to have the policy, it's another thing to actually

276
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:42,680
Speaker 6: have departments and institutions of government that actually see it through.

277
00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:47,640
Speaker 2: That of course, happened during Trump's first term, so I

278
00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:49,880
Speaker 2: think he's hopefully learned from that.

279
00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:51,680
Speaker 3: I'm going to go scorched.

280
00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:54,720
Speaker 2: Earth from day one, and if cash Patel is there

281
00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:56,760
Speaker 2: heading the FBI, I think you're going to see a

282
00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:59,480
Speaker 2: little bit of that. But let's switch to the UK,

283
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:02,680
Speaker 2: where the kiirs starmer government seems to be more perturbed

284
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:06,080
Speaker 2: by the world's richest man, Elon Musk shining a light

285
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:09,880
Speaker 2: on the grooming gang scandal, then the fact that thousands

286
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:14,840
Speaker 2: of vulnerable girls were assaulted, were raped by mainly Pakistani

287
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:18,400
Speaker 2: Muslim men who were allowed for years to act with

288
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:22,800
Speaker 2: impunity due to political correctness. Douglas, we saw the rule

289
00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:28,120
Speaker 2: of law. We saw common decency sacrificed in the name

290
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 2: of community cohesion and cultural sensitivity. Has the UK now

291
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:39,760
Speaker 2: learned its lesson? Could the Grooming gang scandal happen again?

292
00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:41,400
Speaker 3: Oh?

293
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:44,000
Speaker 6: Of course it could happen again, because UK hasn't learned

294
00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:47,360
Speaker 6: any lessons from it. And that's because, again, just like

295
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:50,760
Speaker 6: I was saying about the institutions in America, in Britain,

296
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:53,800
Speaker 6: it's not just the two tier policing system that kir

297
00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:57,280
Speaker 6: Starmer has overseen since coming into office. It's the fact

298
00:16:57,320 --> 00:17:02,360
Speaker 6: that the police, local counselor, local councils.

299
00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:04,400
Speaker 1: MPs and others have all overseen this.

300
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:07,879
Speaker 6: And they all they've all overseen this. And actually it

301
00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:14,280
Speaker 6: required perhaps Elon Musk and a few other high profile

302
00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:16,520
Speaker 6: accounts in America to pick up on this and say,

303
00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:18,479
Speaker 6: hang on, guys, what is it you've allowed to go

304
00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:22,720
Speaker 6: on here for people to actually realize again in Britain

305
00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:28,560
Speaker 6: what this was, which was the biggest sexual crime carried

306
00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:32,720
Speaker 6: out in modern British history, all not just under the

307
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:35,760
Speaker 6: noses of but in front of the faces of all

308
00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:37,080
Speaker 6: the relevant authorities.

309
00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:39,240
Speaker 1: And you know, at the.

310
00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:42,359
Speaker 6: Moment the big grand standing thing to do is to

311
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:45,120
Speaker 6: call for a full public inquiry into this. The truth

312
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:47,320
Speaker 6: is there are plenty of public inquiries that have been

313
00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:50,360
Speaker 6: taken place that have taken place into these these these

314
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:55,160
Speaker 6: rape gangs, and nothing ever really changes that much because

315
00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:57,920
Speaker 6: nobody nobody asks answers which.

316
00:17:57,720 --> 00:17:58,320
Speaker 1: They don't want.

317
00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:02,199
Speaker 6: Sorry, nobody asks questions rather that they don't want answers to.

318
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:06,000
Speaker 6: And the answers to this are, as I said in

319
00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:10,560
Speaker 6: the Spectator this week, pretty straightforward. Actually there that if

320
00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:14,240
Speaker 6: a man is found to have been a grooming raping,

321
00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:19,680
Speaker 6: gang raping, molesting women or underage girls, that person should

322
00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:22,000
Speaker 6: go to a prison for a very long time. And

323
00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:24,840
Speaker 6: if they have dual nationality, they should be chucked out

324
00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:27,960
Speaker 6: of the UK. They should have their British nationality withdrawn

325
00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:30,240
Speaker 6: and they should be deported. Now, most of these men

326
00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:35,480
Speaker 6: should be deported back to Pakistan, but the immigration system

327
00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:38,360
Speaker 6: in Britain is so rotten that, as I mentioned again

328
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:40,040
Speaker 6: in the Spectator this week, a number of the men

329
00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:43,359
Speaker 6: were released from prison early, use the time to appeal

330
00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:46,760
Speaker 6: against their deportation and use that time to give up

331
00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:50,560
Speaker 6: their Pakistani citizenship so they could stay.

332
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:50,920
Speaker 1: In the UK.

333
00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:53,720
Speaker 6: Because it takes so long to get people out of

334
00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:55,640
Speaker 6: the UK, and in the end nobody does get sent

335
00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:57,359
Speaker 6: out of the UK. Oh and then a couple of

336
00:18:57,400 --> 00:18:58,480
Speaker 6: cases where people.

337
00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:01,600
Speaker 1: Actually were able to be turned to Pakistan.

338
00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:04,720
Speaker 6: Shock and horror. The Pakistani government didn't want more gang

339
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:09,080
Speaker 6: rapists in Pakistan, so they didn't receive them back. Well,

340
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:12,440
Speaker 6: any sensible government should say, you know what, Pakistan, we

341
00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:15,160
Speaker 6: give you millions of pounds a year in foreign aid,

342
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:18,080
Speaker 6: as does our ally the United States of America, you'll

343
00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:21,159
Speaker 6: take your citizens back. You'll take them back. Otherwise you

344
00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:24,280
Speaker 6: can say bye by to any foreign aid or anything else.

345
00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:28,720
Speaker 6: But you know, none of that is coming from the government,

346
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:30,440
Speaker 6: and too little of it, in my view, is coming

347
00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:33,639
Speaker 6: from the opposition either. They're all fixated on this. Let's

348
00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:38,560
Speaker 6: have years of inquiries. Inquiries don't matter a damn when

349
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:41,240
Speaker 6: what happens is at the end of it, the inquiry

350
00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:44,320
Speaker 6: is shelved, the person who's done the inquiry is thanked

351
00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:46,040
Speaker 6: and nothing changes.

352
00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:52,159
Speaker 2: It is just so shocking, and I'm glad at least

353
00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:55,800
Speaker 2: the American attention is saying the British public look at

354
00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:57,960
Speaker 2: this again, because I was shocked. I wrote a lot

355
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:01,040
Speaker 2: about it at the time, seven eight years ago. This

356
00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:06,120
Speaker 2: is in my mind, the greatest scandal in modern British.

357
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:10,240
Speaker 3: History, and people treated it like it was nothing.

358
00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:13,400
Speaker 2: It was something that was worthy of a few headlines

359
00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:17,240
Speaker 2: and when we get on with life, and I don't

360
00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:21,640
Speaker 2: think they've really examined how this happened, what it says

361
00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:25,159
Speaker 2: about modern British culture and.

362
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:31,320
Speaker 1: There absolutely you're quite right. I mean, it's just astonishing.

363
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:34,840
Speaker 6: And as I say, it's partly because this is one

364
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:41,240
Speaker 6: of those stories that runs straight against the credo of

365
00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:45,280
Speaker 6: our time in countries like Britain, and i'd argue Australia,

366
00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:49,080
Speaker 6: most of Europe and Canada and other places as well,

367
00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:53,560
Speaker 6: and the credo is diversity is our strength, Diversity is

368
00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:56,320
Speaker 6: our strength. The more diverse we are, the better we are.

369
00:20:56,800 --> 00:21:00,840
Speaker 6: And the societies were in were desperately born, boring, bland

370
00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:03,879
Speaker 6: places until we brought some diversity into it. And you know,

371
00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:06,639
Speaker 6: there's something to be said for the diversity argument, but

372
00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:08,919
Speaker 6: not everything to be said for it. In fact, there

373
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:10,760
Speaker 6: are some things to be said against it. There are

374
00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:13,120
Speaker 6: sometimes when you don't want to be more diverse.

375
00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:14,000
Speaker 1: There are certain.

376
00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:17,280
Speaker 6: Bits of diversity you don't really need, you don't really want.

377
00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:22,400
Speaker 6: I would argue hundreds of thousands of people potentially who

378
00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:27,280
Speaker 6: have seventh century attitudes towards women being imported into your

379
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:29,320
Speaker 6: society and being told to just get on with it

380
00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:33,480
Speaker 6: and being allowed to get on with it. And that's

381
00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:36,800
Speaker 6: the problem for the authorities in all of this is

382
00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:40,080
Speaker 6: that you know, for all of the police awareness diversity

383
00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:43,240
Speaker 6: days and all the council diversity is our strength days,

384
00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:48,800
Speaker 6: the rape gang's case showed there are actually downsides the diversity.

385
00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:53,000
Speaker 6: There are negatives to it as well, and they didn't

386
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:55,240
Speaker 6: want to admit to that. They couldn't admit to it

387
00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:57,359
Speaker 6: because there'd be a follow up question which would be

388
00:21:57,359 --> 00:21:58,760
Speaker 6: what are you going to do about it?

389
00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:01,680
Speaker 1: And so they just ducked it.

390
00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:04,400
Speaker 6: They just ducked it, and they hoped in the immortal

391
00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:08,320
Speaker 6: words of that queet that labor MP Naz Shah briefly

392
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:11,879
Speaker 6: retweeted and then took down. But the raped girls of

393
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:15,439
Speaker 6: Rotherham should quote shut up for the sake of diversity.

394
00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:18,960
Speaker 6: They should shut up for the sake of diversity. No,

395
00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:22,040
Speaker 6: some of us, like you and me Rita, always said

396
00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:25,520
Speaker 6: that was wrong. These girls should have been listened to

397
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:28,960
Speaker 6: and their complaints should have been acted upon. If anyone

398
00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:31,800
Speaker 6: doubts that there is a double standard in modern Britain,

399
00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:35,960
Speaker 6: as in many other Western liberal democracies these days, you

400
00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:39,400
Speaker 6: just need to ask one question, what would have happened

401
00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:40,200
Speaker 6: if it had.

402
00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:43,320
Speaker 1: Have been the other way round? What would have been

403
00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:44,720
Speaker 1: the result.

404
00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:48,400
Speaker 6: If gangs of white working class men had been singling

405
00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:53,880
Speaker 6: out underage Muslim Pakistani girls and gang raping them. Would

406
00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:56,280
Speaker 6: we have passed it over? Would we have said that's

407
00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:58,439
Speaker 6: a bit too awkward to talk about it? Would the

408
00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:01,119
Speaker 6: police have just allowed it, Would the local councils have

409
00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:05,560
Speaker 6: allowed it? Would that Pakistani community in Britain have allowed it.

410
00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:08,359
Speaker 6: The answer to all of these things is, of course not.

411
00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:10,840
Speaker 6: You just need to turn it the other way round.

412
00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:13,600
Speaker 6: And you see the two tier system in Britain at

413
00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:17,160
Speaker 6: the moment, as in so many countries, because we cannot

414
00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:21,520
Speaker 6: cope with the situation that generations of politicians have handed us.

415
00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:26,919
Speaker 3: Douglas Murray, thank you so much for your time this evening.

416
00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:29,159
Speaker 1: Great to see Rita.

417
00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:33,399
Speaker 2: Coming out another extended edition of Lefty's Losing It.

418
00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:34,520
Speaker 3: You might want to miss it.

419
00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:47,600
Speaker 2: Welcome back. Now it's time for Lefty's Losing It. And

420
00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:49,520
Speaker 2: I think it's high time we checked in.

421
00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:51,439
Speaker 3: On the leader of the free world.

422
00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:54,879
Speaker 2: Yes him, Potus, that man the media told you was

423
00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:59,640
Speaker 2: cognitively sound and a decent and honest and competent commander

424
00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:03,800
Speaker 2: in check. If you can now add dangerously delusional to

425
00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:06,879
Speaker 2: President Joe Biden's long list of ailments.

426
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:10,560
Speaker 4: I would have beaten Trump, could have beaten Trump, and

427
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:13,359
Speaker 4: I think that Carmen could have beaten Trump.

428
00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:14,639
Speaker 1: Would have been Trump.

429
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:17,800
Speaker 3: Say what now, you could have beaten Trump?

430
00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:23,040
Speaker 2: No amount of fortifying elections could have seen you beat Trump,

431
00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:26,560
Speaker 2: and as we saw, Kamala didn't come close either. So

432
00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:30,000
Speaker 2: why is the president saying that now?

433
00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:30,800
Speaker 3: That's beyond me.

434
00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:34,320
Speaker 2: Also beyond me is why he'd be uttering a sentence

435
00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:38,360
Speaker 2: like this. Listen here as he speaks about the California

436
00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:43,280
Speaker 2: wildfire victims losing their homes before switching to his own

437
00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:44,800
Speaker 2: happy personal news.

438
00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:49,679
Speaker 8: He got notification you're spend their home product today.

439
00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:53,960
Speaker 1: Parents that maybe still standing, I assure with the good

440
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:58,200
Speaker 1: news is I'm a pretty fanfile dead.

441
00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:02,119
Speaker 3: Their homes are gone, but yeay for me, I'm a

442
00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:05,359
Speaker 3: great grandfather. Everyone clap, And if you.

443
00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:09,080
Speaker 2: Thought that was bad, listen here as the cognitive decline

444
00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:13,879
Speaker 2: and compulsive line combine to see the President claim with

445
00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:18,800
Speaker 2: a straight face that illegal border crossings came down when

446
00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:19,840
Speaker 2: he became president.

447
00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:24,000
Speaker 3: This is next level lefty losing at lunacy.

448
00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:28,160
Speaker 4: Look, let's catch something in mind of a border. When

449
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:31,480
Speaker 4: I became president, the numbers came way down, number one,

450
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:35,040
Speaker 4: number two. We had a circumstance where I pushed very

451
00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:39,240
Speaker 4: hard from buy a partnersal agreement to put more people

452
00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:43,800
Speaker 4: on the borders, more more, more secret services. And guess

453
00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:46,960
Speaker 4: what he's on the phone saying, don't do it. Don't

454
00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:47,879
Speaker 4: do it? Make me look that.

455
00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:53,159
Speaker 2: Did he just claim to have put more Secret Service agents.

456
00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:54,479
Speaker 3: On the border. He has cooked folks.

457
00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:59,200
Speaker 2: The truth is, are the numbers exploded to record highs

458
00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:03,479
Speaker 2: during his president agencies? The record numbers crossed illegally after

459
00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:07,199
Speaker 2: Trump had overseen a sharp reduction in legal entries. And

460
00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:12,080
Speaker 2: let's not forget this statement from Biden after Jimmy Carter's death.

461
00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:16,199
Speaker 2: Will you use the occasion to you guessed it, attack

462
00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:20,960
Speaker 2: Donald Trumps from President.

463
00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:34,960
Speaker 4: Carter deccy decency. Everybody deserves a shop, everybody. Can you

464
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:39,679
Speaker 4: imagine Jimmy Carter walking by someone who needs something to

465
00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:40,399
Speaker 4: just keep walking.

466
00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:44,639
Speaker 2: It's from a man who doesn't even acknowledge his own granddaughter,

467
00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:49,320
Speaker 2: Hunter's love child down in Arkansas, who the Biden's to

468
00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:52,280
Speaker 2: this day refused to acknowledge, whose mother had to take

469
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:55,520
Speaker 2: legal action just to get some financial support for her.

470
00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:59,880
Speaker 2: This is a man who wants to lecture us about decency. Okay,

471
00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:03,720
Speaker 2: but whatever you may say about old Joe, at least he's.

472
00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:06,760
Speaker 3: Not Kamala here is the Veep and want.

473
00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:09,280
Speaker 2: To be president giving these words of advice to the

474
00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:15,440
Speaker 2: victims of Californian wildfires, and so it's critically important that

475
00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:18,919
Speaker 2: to the extent you can find anything that gives you

476
00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:20,040
Speaker 2: an ability.

477
00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:25,720
Speaker 8: To be patient in this extremely.

478
00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:29,440
Speaker 9: Dangerous and unprecedented crisis that you do there.

479
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:33,400
Speaker 2: You go basically amounts to sit down and calm down.

480
00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:34,840
Speaker 3: As authorities value.

481
00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:39,280
Speaker 2: Again, now this time with the inauguration days away, one

482
00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:43,160
Speaker 2: must not forget the lengths the leftist media went to

483
00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:49,520
Speaker 2: to cover up President Biden's and Vice President Harris's many deficiencies,

484
00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:52,880
Speaker 2: though some of them are trying to rewrite history.

485
00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:54,760
Speaker 3: One of the things we also do in the year

486
00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:59,080
Speaker 3: end correspondence round Tbile is dig into what was undercovered

487
00:27:59,160 --> 00:27:59,960
Speaker 3: or under report.

488
00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:06,160
Speaker 9: Jim undercovered, underreported. That would be to me, Joe Biden's

489
00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:11,240
Speaker 9: obvious cognizant decline that became undeniable in the televised.

490
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:12,240
Speaker 1: At the presidential debate.

491
00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:15,360
Speaker 9: With unquestioned and you know, it's starting to emerge now

492
00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:20,560
Speaker 9: that his advisors kind of managed his limitations been reported

493
00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:23,880
Speaker 9: in the Wall Street Journal for four years, and yet

494
00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:25,960
Speaker 9: he insisted that he could still run for president.

495
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:27,320
Speaker 3: We should have much more.

496
00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:31,240
Speaker 9: Forcefully questioned whether he was fit for office for another

497
00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:33,879
Speaker 9: four years, which could have led to a primary for

498
00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:36,760
Speaker 9: the Democrats. It could have changed the scope of the

499
00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:37,399
Speaker 9: entire election.

500
00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:42,640
Speaker 2: It's starting to emerge now place it was obvious to

501
00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:46,440
Speaker 2: anyone with eyes and ears that the president could barely function.

502
00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:49,880
Speaker 2: We reported it here, and we were attacked for it

503
00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:53,600
Speaker 2: over and over again. Let me quote Congressman Byron Donald,

504
00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:56,160
Speaker 2: so had this to say for those in the media

505
00:28:56,240 --> 00:29:00,280
Speaker 2: who have now decided to discuss Biden's mental condition. They

506
00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:04,360
Speaker 2: decided to discuss it when it no longer mattered. They

507
00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:07,600
Speaker 2: blamed it on a stutter. They blamed it on Russian disinfo.

508
00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:10,240
Speaker 2: They blamed it on cheap fakes. They hit him at

509
00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:14,800
Speaker 2: every opportunity, They scripted every public event, They denied her

510
00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:18,480
Speaker 2: report findings, They sent him on vacation for five hundred

511
00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:20,880
Speaker 2: and seventy days. They brazenly lied to.

512
00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:21,640
Speaker 3: You for years.

513
00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:25,720
Speaker 2: This could be the biggest presidential cover up in American history,

514
00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:29,880
Speaker 2: and the media defended it all until they got exposed

515
00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:32,880
Speaker 2: at the debate. Don't let the media gaslight you. This

516
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:37,000
Speaker 2: story existed for years and they avoided it on purpose.

517
00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:40,480
Speaker 2: Here here, I couldn't have said it better myself. Every

518
00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:43,720
Speaker 2: single word there is true, and one of the very

519
00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:47,880
Speaker 2: worst in the media. Don Lemon had this recent meltdown

520
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:51,920
Speaker 2: about Maga. He seems to have forgotten that Donald Trump

521
00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:54,440
Speaker 2: actually won the election in a landslide.

522
00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:57,920
Speaker 3: He's I don't know. He thinks it's all fallen apart

523
00:29:58,040 --> 00:29:58,560
Speaker 3: for Maga.

524
00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:03,800
Speaker 8: Dom idiots. Now you're just figuring this out. You're so

525
00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:08,000
Speaker 8: stupid and you deserve it. You deserve it because you're

526
00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:09,040
Speaker 8: so dumb.

527
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:12,160
Speaker 1: Jim. It's hypocrisy. So go with me here.

528
00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:15,720
Speaker 8: Yes, I am gloating over your stupidity and how you

529
00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:17,720
Speaker 8: were taken con.

530
00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:20,440
Speaker 1: I'm cracking. I'm cackling in Kamala.

531
00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:23,240
Speaker 8: You know what they're saying about the anti immigrant stuff, right,

532
00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:28,160
Speaker 8: who's in to say that one of the jobs you

533
00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:31,640
Speaker 8: might be seeking won't be one of those white jobs.

534
00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:36,400
Speaker 8: Oh my gosh, Oh my gosh, Oh my gosh, Oh

535
00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:37,560
Speaker 8: my gosh ah.

536
00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:40,040
Speaker 2: It can only be a matter of time before the

537
00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:42,760
Speaker 2: men in white coats come and take Don away to

538
00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:46,440
Speaker 2: a nice paddned room. Good lord, And here is Jim

539
00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:50,680
Speaker 2: Acosta with a human potato, where they both, surprise, surprise,

540
00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:54,320
Speaker 2: believe the Biden White House should be censoring for a speech.

541
00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:57,240
Speaker 10: Meta has a lot of business before the US government,

542
00:30:57,360 --> 00:30:59,040
Speaker 10: and I think that's als really what this is all about.

543
00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:01,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's complaining.

544
00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:03,720
Speaker 10: About the Biden administration, you know, yelling at them to say,

545
00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:05,840
Speaker 10: you know, get some of this COVID misinformation off of

546
00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:06,480
Speaker 10: their platforms.

547
00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:08,040
Speaker 1: I mean, isn't that.

548
00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:09,200
Speaker 8: That's sort of what the White House should be.

549
00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:12,960
Speaker 2: Doing, right dar Sticking with the media, here is sixty

550
00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:14,160
Speaker 2: minutes Leslie.

551
00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:16,360
Speaker 3: Stone claiming the economy Trump.

552
00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:21,160
Speaker 2: Is inheriting is great, and trying again and again to

553
00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:25,640
Speaker 2: get the CEO of JB. Morgan Chase to criticize Donald

554
00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:26,600
Speaker 2: Trump's policies.

555
00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:31,440
Speaker 11: He is inheriting a pretty good economy despite what people feel.

556
00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:36,040
Speaker 11: All these metrics that you see, But what about advice

557
00:31:36,120 --> 00:31:40,000
Speaker 11: to him on some of the policies that he's threatening

558
00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:43,240
Speaker 11: to do that could hurt the economy? For instance, tariffs.

559
00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:46,720
Speaker 11: Have you talked to him about tariffs? If you could

560
00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:48,840
Speaker 11: talk to him right now, what would you say.

561
00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:51,440
Speaker 10: I have not spoken about tariffs. I think you should

562
00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:54,160
Speaker 10: be the art of the deal. He's the negotiator. He

563
00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:56,760
Speaker 10: lays out some very tough things and sometimes it works.

564
00:31:57,000 --> 00:32:00,040
Speaker 10: We have to worry more about now security resilience. The

565
00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:04,200
Speaker 10: first fight supply chains and we didn't. And also we

566
00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:07,280
Speaker 10: should worry more about who would hurt Tariff's ary way,

567
00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:11,120
Speaker 10: every tool proper used that can help get some of

568
00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:11,880
Speaker 10: those Isians result.

569
00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:14,960
Speaker 3: Oh, she wasn't done yet. She was going to try again.

570
00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:19,760
Speaker 11: Your relationship with him story. We all read that you

571
00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:22,360
Speaker 11: called her, congratulated him, and he wouldn't take the call.

572
00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:23,400
Speaker 10: That wasn't true.

573
00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:26,640
Speaker 3: It was no, No, it wasn't true. Leslie should be

574
00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:27,080
Speaker 3: used to that.

575
00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:30,880
Speaker 2: Remember when she claimed to President Trump's face that the

576
00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:35,080
Speaker 2: Hunter Biden laptop story was Russian disinformation, that there was

577
00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:39,000
Speaker 2: no evidence of Joe Biden being the recipient of financial

578
00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:43,040
Speaker 2: benefits from his son's dodgy business dealings. She also claimed

579
00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:47,120
Speaker 2: there was no evidence that they spied on Donald Trump's campaign.

580
00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:48,240
Speaker 3: Don't forget this.

581
00:32:48,840 --> 00:32:51,920
Speaker 12: The biggest scandal was when they spied in my campaign.

582
00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:53,600
Speaker 3: They spied in my campaign.

583
00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:55,400
Speaker 11: There's no real evidence of that.

584
00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:56,080
Speaker 3: Of course there is.

585
00:32:56,120 --> 00:32:59,320
Speaker 4: It's all over the place, Leslie, they spied on my

586
00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:00,240
Speaker 4: campaign again?

587
00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:03,560
Speaker 11: Can I say something? You know, this is sixty minutes

588
00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:07,800
Speaker 11: and we can't put on things we can't verify.

589
00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:08,920
Speaker 1: Because it's Biden.

590
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:10,200
Speaker 3: We can't put on things.

591
00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:14,880
Speaker 11: We can't verify my camp, we can't verify it totally verified.

592
00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:19,160
Speaker 3: And now that same journalist is upset that trust in

593
00:33:19,240 --> 00:33:22,760
Speaker 3: the media is that his story glows. People do not

594
00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:25,640
Speaker 3: trust these lifty active as masquerading as journalists.

595
00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:30,480
Speaker 11: I'm shocked if you watch the opinion of us, how

596
00:33:30,520 --> 00:33:34,280
Speaker 11: many people trust the press anymore. I mean, we're way

597
00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:37,480
Speaker 11: down there with the lawyers. This is really rough. As

598
00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:41,400
Speaker 11: you know, your way down there with Congress exactly. I mean,

599
00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:44,320
Speaker 11: we're way down there with Congress. But we're way down there,

600
00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:50,080
Speaker 11: and I despair, seriously. I worry greatly, and I think

601
00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:53,520
Speaker 11: there are other institutions that have been suffering. And you're

602
00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:56,720
Speaker 11: right not to blame Donald Trump one hundred percent. Obviously

603
00:33:57,080 --> 00:34:01,040
Speaker 11: started many years before. But we're at a point where

604
00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:04,920
Speaker 11: if the President of the United States is going to

605
00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:08,719
Speaker 11: say legacy media is dead, well, I guess Musk said

606
00:34:08,719 --> 00:34:11,200
Speaker 11: that legacy media is dead, and.

607
00:34:11,080 --> 00:34:13,360
Speaker 1: He wants it dead. He wants other media.

608
00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:17,560
Speaker 11: But it is kind of sort of hobbling right now,

609
00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:22,759
Speaker 11: and I don't know how it recovers. I'm very just

610
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:24,160
Speaker 11: I'm very dark about it.

611
00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:27,200
Speaker 2: Ooh, she's very dark about it. The kids call that

612
00:34:27,719 --> 00:34:32,239
Speaker 2: faffo fafo. Google it, Leslie. What you're saying is.

613
00:34:32,160 --> 00:34:36,399
Speaker 3: The consequences of your actions here is another grown man

614
00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:40,560
Speaker 3: telling vulnerable kids that powerful drugs and irreversible surgeries are

615
00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:45,000
Speaker 3: perfectly safe. Everything you're about to hear is a lie,

616
00:34:45,080 --> 00:34:48,200
Speaker 3: a dangerous lie. And I've got to add this clown

617
00:34:48,239 --> 00:34:49,000
Speaker 3: as a TV.

618
00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:53,320
Speaker 13: Host gender affirming here in maners. First of all, puberty blockers.

619
00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:57,160
Speaker 13: Puberty blockers are safe, and interestingly, puberty blockers are given

620
00:34:57,200 --> 00:34:58,120
Speaker 13: to cisgender kids.

621
00:34:58,120 --> 00:34:59,680
Speaker 1: Now when little girls are little.

622
00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:02,880
Speaker 13: Boys EXPERI it's precocious puberty, meaning puberty very early, around

623
00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:06,040
Speaker 13: like four, five, six seven, they'll be given puberty blockers

624
00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:09,000
Speaker 13: to delay puberty, not prevent it, so that when they're

625
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:10,799
Speaker 13: closer to like, you know, twelve thirteen, they can get

626
00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:13,040
Speaker 13: off the puberty blockers and then puberty happens. As typical

627
00:35:13,520 --> 00:35:16,120
Speaker 13: as far as long term fertility issues, puberty blockers have

628
00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:20,359
Speaker 13: no link to long term fertility issues. And trans young

629
00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:23,480
Speaker 13: people are not getting gender reassignment surgery. They're not getting

630
00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:26,160
Speaker 13: top surgery. They're not getting bottom surgery until they are

631
00:35:26,360 --> 00:35:30,239
Speaker 13: seventeen eighteen, sometimes sixteen for top surgery, but they have

632
00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:31,320
Speaker 13: to have parental consent.

633
00:35:31,680 --> 00:35:36,439
Speaker 3: That's clearized. Jonathan van Ness another celebrity gender propagandas who

634
00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:38,920
Speaker 3: kin'd even stick to his own nonsense.

635
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:42,200
Speaker 2: He says, kids aren't getting these top surgeries and bottom

636
00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:46,080
Speaker 2: surgeries except when they're what's sixteen? That's under at eight

637
00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:48,480
Speaker 2: in my book, if with parental consent, as if that

638
00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:53,720
Speaker 2: makes it okay. And we're talking here about mutilating confused kids,

639
00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:58,840
Speaker 2: removing healthy breasts at sixteen, perhaps a penis, and thinking

640
00:35:58,880 --> 00:36:03,520
Speaker 2: it's justifiable. Goodness, me now saved the best for last.

641
00:36:03,640 --> 00:36:07,880
Speaker 2: Have a look at these absolute simpletons, these leftist agitators

642
00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:11,280
Speaker 2: who think a member of her Mass and Islamus terror

643
00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:16,120
Speaker 2: group would be more LGBT friendly than a typical Trump supporter.

644
00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:19,319
Speaker 2: Just when you think that the left can't get any

645
00:36:19,360 --> 00:36:21,960
Speaker 2: more stupid, that can't surprise you.

646
00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:24,359
Speaker 14: Between these two choices, who would you say is more

647
00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:28,640
Speaker 14: likely to be supportive of the LGBTQ community? Okay, why

648
00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:29,040
Speaker 14: would you.

649
00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:31,759
Speaker 9: Say that because he's a brown person and he's not

650
00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:32,440
Speaker 9: for Trump?

651
00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:33,799
Speaker 14: Do you think the fact that he's part of how

652
00:36:33,840 --> 00:36:36,080
Speaker 14: Mass would stop him from supporting that community.

653
00:36:35,840 --> 00:36:36,359
Speaker 3: Not at all?

654
00:36:36,560 --> 00:36:37,600
Speaker 5: Probably number one?

655
00:36:37,800 --> 00:36:41,840
Speaker 14: Number one? Why would you say that? Because Trump supporters

656
00:36:41,880 --> 00:36:45,839
Speaker 14: are typically anti lgbt Do you think so somebody that's

657
00:36:45,840 --> 00:36:49,280
Speaker 14: a member of how Mass would they support the LGBTQ community.

658
00:36:50,120 --> 00:36:54,359
Speaker 14: You know, I'm not sure number one. Okay, what makes

659
00:36:54,360 --> 00:36:58,080
Speaker 14: you say that they're just the kind of kinder Do

660
00:36:58,120 --> 00:37:00,200
Speaker 14: you think that, you know, somebody that's saying them of

661
00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:04,080
Speaker 14: hamas would be supportive of the gear community. Yeah, what

662
00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:04,480
Speaker 14: do you think?

663
00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:04,960
Speaker 11: Yeah?

664
00:37:05,520 --> 00:37:09,000
Speaker 3: Maybe Hans number one, he lets all a friendly.

665
00:37:09,640 --> 00:37:14,239
Speaker 2: Still to come, more lefties losing at content, including California

666
00:37:14,360 --> 00:37:18,520
Speaker 2: approving funding to fight Trump instead of relief for its

667
00:37:18,719 --> 00:37:19,960
Speaker 2: wildfire victims.

668
00:37:20,040 --> 00:37:31,880
Speaker 3: Josh Hammer has the latest welcome back.

669
00:37:32,040 --> 00:37:35,160
Speaker 2: We've got plenty more lefties losing at content with my

670
00:37:35,280 --> 00:37:39,440
Speaker 2: next guest, including some exciting developments for Judge Merchant.

671
00:37:39,600 --> 00:37:40,719
Speaker 3: You know that guy.

672
00:37:40,840 --> 00:37:44,959
Speaker 2: He oversaw Trump's sham trial in New York. But let's

673
00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:48,239
Speaker 2: start with California, where you'd think they'd be focused on

674
00:37:48,320 --> 00:37:54,680
Speaker 2: approving disaster relief, fixing their hopelessly inept fire response. But no, instead,

675
00:37:54,760 --> 00:37:58,760
Speaker 2: they've just held a special session to prepare for Donald Trump,

676
00:37:59,080 --> 00:37:59,640
Speaker 2: and they've.

677
00:37:59,480 --> 00:38:01,759
Speaker 3: Approved a twenty five million.

678
00:38:01,560 --> 00:38:05,560
Speaker 2: Dollar war chest for any potential legal battles with the

679
00:38:05,560 --> 00:38:06,560
Speaker 2: Trump administration.

680
00:38:07,120 --> 00:38:09,880
Speaker 15: Despite several empty seats in the chamber because of the

681
00:38:10,040 --> 00:38:13,880
Speaker 15: LA wildfires, the Democratic State Assembly gaveled into its special

682
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:17,360
Speaker 15: legislative session to prepare for incoming President Donald Trump.

683
00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:19,040
Speaker 1: I'd asked that you keep in mind.

684
00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:22,560
Speaker 15: Governor Newsom called the special session shortly after the election.

685
00:38:23,120 --> 00:38:27,720
Speaker 15: As fires raged in southern California. State lawmakers still prioritized

686
00:38:27,719 --> 00:38:31,359
Speaker 15: their anti Trump work. They established a committee and set

687
00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:33,960
Speaker 15: a hearing for the legislation that sets aside twenty five

688
00:38:34,040 --> 00:38:37,959
Speaker 15: million dollars to prepare for legal battles with the incoming administration.

689
00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:40,200
Speaker 3: Of course, Rainbow Flags Everywhere.

690
00:38:40,320 --> 00:38:43,520
Speaker 2: Joining me now is Newsweek's senior editor at Large and

691
00:38:43,719 --> 00:38:48,759
Speaker 2: Article three projects Senior Council Josh Hammer. Josh, what can

692
00:38:48,840 --> 00:38:52,360
Speaker 2: be done about California? And I do wonder whether this

693
00:38:53,200 --> 00:38:58,560
Speaker 2: disastrous inept fire response is going to act as a

694
00:38:58,760 --> 00:39:02,960
Speaker 2: red pill for for the state for so many who've

695
00:39:03,040 --> 00:39:05,840
Speaker 2: just voted Democrat without him and thinking about.

696
00:39:05,600 --> 00:39:08,840
Speaker 16: It, well read a great to be back with you

697
00:39:08,920 --> 00:39:11,920
Speaker 16: happy twenty twenty five. You know, look, I would propose

698
00:39:11,960 --> 00:39:14,200
Speaker 16: a trade to the country of Denmark, to the Kingdom

699
00:39:14,239 --> 00:39:17,080
Speaker 16: of Denmark here, why don't we trade you guys California,

700
00:39:17,120 --> 00:39:19,440
Speaker 16: and in exchange you give us bad Greenland? Seems like

701
00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:21,319
Speaker 16: a win win from my perspective there, I mean, Donald

702
00:39:21,320 --> 00:39:24,759
Speaker 16: Trump seems to really want Greenland. I mean, California has

703
00:39:24,800 --> 00:39:27,040
Speaker 16: been going down the tubes for decades now, but it

704
00:39:27,120 --> 00:39:30,560
Speaker 16: is really accelerated under Governor Gavin Newsom's tenure. He's the

705
00:39:30,560 --> 00:39:33,160
Speaker 16: first governor in the entire history of the state of California.

706
00:39:33,239 --> 00:39:36,880
Speaker 16: California became a state in the eighteen fifties, and literally

707
00:39:36,920 --> 00:39:40,520
Speaker 16: from then until the twenty twenty United States Census, California

708
00:39:40,640 --> 00:39:44,800
Speaker 16: always gained seats in the representation in the US Congress.

709
00:39:44,920 --> 00:39:47,080
Speaker 16: This is the first time they lost seats. That happened

710
00:39:47,520 --> 00:39:50,239
Speaker 16: under Gavin Newsom's tenure there. It's the highest cost of

711
00:39:50,239 --> 00:39:52,080
Speaker 16: living in the state there. But look as it pertains

712
00:39:52,080 --> 00:39:55,160
Speaker 16: to this recent special session, Rita, he's been too busy

713
00:39:55,320 --> 00:39:58,439
Speaker 16: trump proofing the state. He forgot to fireproof this state.

714
00:39:58,760 --> 00:40:01,160
Speaker 16: I mean, look at what they've been doing in Sacramento.

715
00:40:01,320 --> 00:40:03,680
Speaker 16: He forgot to put water in the water hydrants there.

716
00:40:03,719 --> 00:40:06,080
Speaker 16: But No, in a media interview just a few days ago,

717
00:40:06,280 --> 00:40:08,760
Speaker 16: now he says, Oh, you know what's it's the local

718
00:40:08,760 --> 00:40:10,640
Speaker 16: person's problem. They're going to figure it out there. It's

719
00:40:10,640 --> 00:40:12,600
Speaker 16: a problem for the people on the spot. No, sir,

720
00:40:12,800 --> 00:40:15,080
Speaker 16: you are the governor of the nation's largest state, the

721
00:40:15,120 --> 00:40:18,280
Speaker 16: most populous state, the state that still has the largest

722
00:40:18,320 --> 00:40:21,000
Speaker 16: GDP and so forth and so forth. There you are

723
00:40:21,080 --> 00:40:24,239
Speaker 16: ultimately where the buck stops there. And I don't know

724
00:40:24,280 --> 00:40:26,080
Speaker 16: what's going to happen to the state of California. I

725
00:40:26,080 --> 00:40:28,319
Speaker 16: wish I could come on your program read and say

726
00:40:28,400 --> 00:40:30,200
Speaker 16: to you that I think California is going to be

727
00:40:30,239 --> 00:40:33,280
Speaker 16: red pilled as a result of this, maybe on the margins,

728
00:40:33,320 --> 00:40:35,400
Speaker 16: but I would be remiss if I made a confident

729
00:40:35,400 --> 00:40:37,160
Speaker 16: prediction that that state is going to start voting for

730
00:40:37,200 --> 00:40:40,440
Speaker 16: Donald Trump and Republicans anytime soon. But even a marginal

731
00:40:40,480 --> 00:40:43,439
Speaker 16: shift away from just being a totalitarian one party state,

732
00:40:43,600 --> 00:40:45,160
Speaker 16: I think will be something quite beneficial.

733
00:40:47,400 --> 00:40:48,400
Speaker 3: I think you're right.

734
00:40:48,480 --> 00:40:51,440
Speaker 2: I think by the time they're going to go back

735
00:40:51,480 --> 00:40:54,880
Speaker 2: to the polls, this will sadly be forgotten. And so

736
00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:59,000
Speaker 2: much more the fact that you've got a exodus of people.

737
00:40:59,520 --> 00:41:03,520
Speaker 2: California is so blessed. It's just the most beautiful state.

738
00:41:03,680 --> 00:41:06,000
Speaker 2: You've got the beach, you've got the mountains, you've got

739
00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:09,520
Speaker 2: everything going for you, and yet you've got people leaving

740
00:41:09,560 --> 00:41:12,880
Speaker 2: in record numbers, going to states like Texas and Florida

741
00:41:12,920 --> 00:41:17,200
Speaker 2: and Tennessee Republican states because it is so difficult to

742
00:41:17,239 --> 00:41:20,839
Speaker 2: live there unless you're uber wealthy. Now, this is an

743
00:41:20,880 --> 00:41:25,799
Speaker 2: important development. Incoming FBI Director Cash Battel has promised to

744
00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:31,719
Speaker 2: investigate a progressive political consulting firm owned by Lauren Merchant,

745
00:41:31,880 --> 00:41:36,000
Speaker 2: the daughter of one Merchant, the judge in Trump's hush

746
00:41:36,080 --> 00:41:39,880
Speaker 2: money case. Here is a Cash Battel on Fox News earlier.

747
00:41:40,120 --> 00:41:42,879
Speaker 12: I'm calling for the subpoenas to be issued to judg

748
00:41:42,960 --> 00:41:46,600
Speaker 12: Merchant's daughter's company, who made fifteen plus million dollars from

749
00:41:46,640 --> 00:41:49,799
Speaker 12: the illicit information pouring out of her father's courtroom. I

750
00:41:49,840 --> 00:41:52,279
Speaker 12: want to know all the bank records, because money doesn't lie.

751
00:41:52,480 --> 00:41:53,960
Speaker 12: I want to know how deep it is and how

752
00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:55,600
Speaker 12: much of it went to the family, and how much

753
00:41:55,600 --> 00:41:58,600
Speaker 12: of it is going to the family after this false conviction.

754
00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:02,560
Speaker 12: And then we need to investigate the FBC actual violations

755
00:42:02,760 --> 00:42:05,400
Speaker 12: that this judge and his family conducted because he should

756
00:42:05,400 --> 00:42:08,040
Speaker 12: never have been overseeing this trial to begin with, because

757
00:42:08,040 --> 00:42:10,319
Speaker 12: of the illicit campaign money that was flowing through there.

758
00:42:10,440 --> 00:42:14,200
Speaker 12: And the unconstitutional due process violations are only the beginning.

759
00:42:14,880 --> 00:42:18,319
Speaker 3: Josh, what do we know about the money she was

760
00:42:18,440 --> 00:42:22,080
Speaker 3: able to raise? Is it true she used.

761
00:42:21,800 --> 00:42:26,600
Speaker 2: The case her father was overseeing an email's soliciting donations.

762
00:42:28,200 --> 00:42:30,360
Speaker 16: So, first of all, this is exactly why cash Bettel

763
00:42:30,440 --> 00:42:32,759
Speaker 16: is a perfect pit to lead the nation's FBI, and

764
00:42:32,800 --> 00:42:34,920
Speaker 16: they try to bring the FBI back to a modicum

765
00:42:34,920 --> 00:42:37,800
Speaker 16: of respectability because he cares about getting to the bottom

766
00:42:37,840 --> 00:42:40,840
Speaker 16: of blatantly corrupt scandals, which the FBI has been ground

767
00:42:40,960 --> 00:42:43,120
Speaker 16: zero of for the past seven eight nine years, going

768
00:42:43,120 --> 00:42:44,799
Speaker 16: back all the way to the first Trump campaign in

769
00:42:44,840 --> 00:42:48,440
Speaker 16: twenty sixteen. To your question, though, yes, yes, a thousand

770
00:42:48,520 --> 00:42:51,200
Speaker 16: times yes. Lauren Mrshan is her name. She she works

771
00:42:51,400 --> 00:42:54,279
Speaker 16: for a company called Authentic Campaigns. It is a Democratic

772
00:42:54,280 --> 00:42:58,680
Speaker 16: Party aligned progressive fundraising vehicle. They distribute money to Democratic

773
00:42:58,719 --> 00:43:02,359
Speaker 16: officials and left wing causes. There she was absolutely fundraising

774
00:43:02,440 --> 00:43:05,160
Speaker 16: on her day job based on the fact that her

775
00:43:05,239 --> 00:43:08,680
Speaker 16: daddy was to become the first judge to sentence a

776
00:43:08,760 --> 00:43:11,880
Speaker 16: former and now soon to be president President President of

777
00:43:11,920 --> 00:43:14,680
Speaker 16: the United States, Walmreshan himself. By the way, let's not

778
00:43:14,760 --> 00:43:16,680
Speaker 16: let him off the hook easily. It's not just his daughter.

779
00:43:16,680 --> 00:43:19,960
Speaker 16: Wan more Shon himself donated twenty dollars to the Biden

780
00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:22,520
Speaker 16: Harris campaign in twenty twenty. Seems like a small sum,

781
00:43:22,600 --> 00:43:24,400
Speaker 16: but the fact that he donating in the first place

782
00:43:24,520 --> 00:43:29,320
Speaker 16: he specifically earmarked that donation incidentally to the cause get Trump.

783
00:43:29,560 --> 00:43:31,799
Speaker 16: This guy never in a million years should have been

784
00:43:31,880 --> 00:43:34,239
Speaker 16: on this case. In the first case there, he had

785
00:43:34,280 --> 00:43:37,080
Speaker 16: a million opportunities to accuse himself. He rejected it over

786
00:43:37,120 --> 00:43:39,000
Speaker 16: and over and over again. He should have declared a

787
00:43:39,040 --> 00:43:41,680
Speaker 16: mistrial after the Trump versus the United States case at

788
00:43:41,680 --> 00:43:43,920
Speaker 16: the United States Supreme Court in light of the presidential

789
00:43:44,040 --> 00:43:48,000
Speaker 16: Meni decision there. He's done everything wrong since day one there.

790
00:43:48,160 --> 00:43:51,080
Speaker 16: But ultimately he's an egomaniac. That's why he put in

791
00:43:51,200 --> 00:43:54,360
Speaker 16: audio recording on sentencing day on Friday, because he wanted

792
00:43:54,400 --> 00:43:56,799
Speaker 16: the history books readA to remember that he was the

793
00:43:56,840 --> 00:43:59,480
Speaker 16: first guy who sentenced a former president of the United

794
00:43:59,520 --> 00:44:01,879
Speaker 16: States for one rashan. This thing is going to get

795
00:44:01,880 --> 00:44:05,879
Speaker 16: tossed on a plasapp So this whole stupid convicted felon thing,

796
00:44:05,920 --> 00:44:08,319
Speaker 16: unconditional discharge. Let them get their day in the sun.

797
00:44:08,400 --> 00:44:10,640
Speaker 16: It's gonna last a matter of weeks, maybe even shorter

798
00:44:10,680 --> 00:44:10,960
Speaker 16: than that.

799
00:44:13,400 --> 00:44:17,279
Speaker 2: I remember speaking to legal experts who observed some of

800
00:44:17,320 --> 00:44:21,600
Speaker 2: this case, and they said it was an absolute sham.

801
00:44:21,800 --> 00:44:25,640
Speaker 2: It was a travesty that this was happening in a

802
00:44:25,680 --> 00:44:27,879
Speaker 2: first world nation, sort of thing you'd expect to see

803
00:44:27,920 --> 00:44:32,239
Speaker 2: in some sort of banana republic. Now we've seen Mark Zuckerberg,

804
00:44:32,440 --> 00:44:38,880
Speaker 2: the CEO of Meta, deal away with the leftist activists

805
00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:43,920
Speaker 2: masquerading as fact checkers on sites like Facebook and Instagram.

806
00:44:44,600 --> 00:44:47,280
Speaker 2: Zuckerberg is now pretending to be some sort of defender

807
00:44:47,320 --> 00:44:50,880
Speaker 2: of free speech. Well, he is now that Americans have

808
00:44:50,920 --> 00:44:55,240
Speaker 2: reelected Donald Trump. But should we trust him, Josh, because

809
00:44:56,440 --> 00:45:00,719
Speaker 2: when it mattered, he was complicit in set answering and

810
00:45:00,760 --> 00:45:04,320
Speaker 2: suppressing free speech. He donated hundreds of millions of dollars

811
00:45:04,360 --> 00:45:08,400
Speaker 2: of his own money, I'd argue to fortify the twenty

812
00:45:08,480 --> 00:45:11,239
Speaker 2: twenty election. I can't don't trust this guy as far

813
00:45:11,280 --> 00:45:14,040
Speaker 2: as I can throw him. But I'm seeing a lot

814
00:45:14,040 --> 00:45:19,640
Speaker 2: of people be receptive to this backflip of his. What

815
00:45:20,200 --> 00:45:26,880
Speaker 2: are your feelings about Meta and Zuckerberg in particular, because

816
00:45:27,040 --> 00:45:31,800
Speaker 2: I'm just feel like he just goes with whoever's holding power.

817
00:45:31,840 --> 00:45:35,280
Speaker 2: If Kamala Harris had won, none of this would be happening.

818
00:45:37,080 --> 00:45:39,160
Speaker 16: Yeah, I mean, let's off again, Mark Zuckerberg. You know,

819
00:45:39,239 --> 00:45:41,200
Speaker 16: to your points about using this kind of tongue in

820
00:45:41,320 --> 00:45:43,719
Speaker 16: cheek euphemism about Fortify and the twenty twenty election, you

821
00:45:43,719 --> 00:45:46,560
Speaker 16: know he spent four hundred million dollars four hundred million

822
00:45:46,600 --> 00:45:49,879
Speaker 16: dollars in so called Zucker Box. He did probably more

823
00:45:49,920 --> 00:45:54,000
Speaker 16: than any individual in the world other than possibly George

824
00:45:54,000 --> 00:45:57,080
Speaker 16: Soros himself to tip that election to Joe Biden and

825
00:45:57,120 --> 00:45:59,480
Speaker 16: Kamala Harris. So a little bit of a Johnny completely

826
00:45:59,520 --> 00:46:01,920
Speaker 16: thing here to put him mildly. Nonetheless, he is on

827
00:46:02,000 --> 00:46:05,360
Speaker 16: this grand elaborate Maya culpla tour at started this past August.

828
00:46:05,400 --> 00:46:08,040
Speaker 16: He wrote this letter to Jim Jordan on House Judiciary Committee,

829
00:46:08,040 --> 00:46:10,120
Speaker 16: finally fessing up for the first time to the fact

830
00:46:10,160 --> 00:46:13,360
Speaker 16: that they censored COVID nineteen information, censored the Hunter Biden laptop.

831
00:46:13,400 --> 00:46:15,600
Speaker 16: Now he's doing Joe Rogan's podcast, he's flying to mar

832
00:46:15,640 --> 00:46:17,960
Speaker 16: A Lago. I'm not buying it. I'm with you. I

833
00:46:17,960 --> 00:46:20,680
Speaker 16: don't think this guy is sincere whatsoever. I guess the

834
00:46:20,719 --> 00:46:23,440
Speaker 16: only additional points I would make is if he's actually

835
00:46:23,480 --> 00:46:26,000
Speaker 16: making concrete changes, and he just made This guy Joel

836
00:46:26,080 --> 00:46:28,960
Speaker 16: Kaplan a former George W. Bush White House attorney, a

837
00:46:29,080 --> 00:46:32,720
Speaker 16: longtime DC Republican. He is now the head of Global

838
00:46:32,719 --> 00:46:35,040
Speaker 16: Affairs of METAF. I have his title right there. So

839
00:46:35,160 --> 00:46:37,920
Speaker 16: he's positioning he's trying to position his company well for

840
00:46:37,960 --> 00:46:40,080
Speaker 16: the second Donald Trump term. He's basically just trying to

841
00:46:40,080 --> 00:46:43,040
Speaker 16: make sure that Donald Trump's anti trust cops don't start

842
00:46:43,080 --> 00:46:45,960
Speaker 16: busting on Meta forcing them to divest Instagram, WhatsApp for

843
00:46:46,040 --> 00:46:49,040
Speaker 16: the various other assets there. That's what's actually going on here.

844
00:46:49,120 --> 00:46:51,520
Speaker 16: But as long as he's actually doing real steps to

845
00:46:52,120 --> 00:46:55,040
Speaker 16: get free speech back on Facebook, Instagram, And to be clear,

846
00:46:55,080 --> 00:46:57,960
Speaker 16: I have a distrust but still verify approach to this.

847
00:46:57,960 --> 00:47:00,440
Speaker 16: I don't trust him for a second, but less I

848
00:47:00,440 --> 00:47:01,600
Speaker 16: guess let's take the progress.

849
00:47:04,160 --> 00:47:05,959
Speaker 3: Absolutely it's a positive move.

850
00:47:06,000 --> 00:47:08,839
Speaker 2: Ann You look at the numbers of people who use

851
00:47:08,960 --> 00:47:13,319
Speaker 2: Facebook every day, you use Instagram. If these changes are

852
00:47:13,360 --> 00:47:17,560
Speaker 2: going to be implemented properly, then it is going to

853
00:47:17,600 --> 00:47:19,719
Speaker 2: make a huge difference.

854
00:47:19,880 --> 00:47:22,800
Speaker 3: But yeah, I do not trust Mark Zuckerberg, not yet.

855
00:47:23,520 --> 00:47:28,160
Speaker 2: Now the musical lineup for Donald Trump's inauguration has been revealed.

856
00:47:28,200 --> 00:47:33,680
Speaker 2: We've got country music superstar carry On Underwood taking part

857
00:47:33,719 --> 00:47:36,240
Speaker 2: the Village People. We know he loves the Village People,

858
00:47:36,760 --> 00:47:40,160
Speaker 2: as well as a couple of Trump's favorite country singer

859
00:47:40,239 --> 00:47:43,480
Speaker 2: League Greenwood, opera singer Christopher Marcio.

860
00:47:43,640 --> 00:47:44,960
Speaker 3: They're all going to be performing.

861
00:47:45,160 --> 00:47:49,480
Speaker 2: I'm particularly excited Josh about Kerry Underwood, and it's pretty

862
00:47:49,640 --> 00:47:53,560
Speaker 2: brave of her to do this. She is a mainstream star,

863
00:47:53,719 --> 00:47:56,520
Speaker 2: she is a superstar, and we know how intolerant and

864
00:47:57,160 --> 00:48:02,120
Speaker 2: far left entertainment industry has become. So is she going

865
00:48:02,200 --> 00:48:03,560
Speaker 2: to get some blowback over this?

866
00:48:05,480 --> 00:48:07,920
Speaker 16: Well, I'm actually a country music mega fan. That's basically

867
00:48:07,960 --> 00:48:09,759
Speaker 16: all I listened to. So let me just real quick

868
00:48:09,840 --> 00:48:12,759
Speaker 16: say that Toby Keith should have been here performing for

869
00:48:12,840 --> 00:48:15,640
Speaker 16: Donald Trump on his on his second inauguration. He performed

870
00:48:15,640 --> 00:48:18,239
Speaker 16: back in twenty sixteen, but unfortunately Toby Keith Salley passed

871
00:48:18,239 --> 00:48:20,919
Speaker 16: aways to come to stomach cancer far too young, back

872
00:48:20,920 --> 00:48:23,000
Speaker 16: in September twenty twenty three, so made his memory be

873
00:48:23,040 --> 00:48:25,640
Speaker 16: a blessing. I am very happy that carry Underwood is

874
00:48:25,640 --> 00:48:28,000
Speaker 16: performing here. I mean, she is an absolute megastar. I'll

875
00:48:28,000 --> 00:48:29,440
Speaker 16: be honest with you. I had no idea that she

876
00:48:29,520 --> 00:48:31,600
Speaker 16: was right leaning. I had no idea what her politics were.

877
00:48:31,640 --> 00:48:34,160
Speaker 16: She hasn't really previously revealed them at all here. You know,

878
00:48:34,239 --> 00:48:37,560
Speaker 16: country music as an institution based in Nashville, Tennessee, it's

879
00:48:37,600 --> 00:48:40,400
Speaker 16: still based in the South. Their fan base is still

880
00:48:40,520 --> 00:48:42,640
Speaker 16: by and large right of center. The kind of people

881
00:48:42,680 --> 00:48:45,320
Speaker 16: that are salt of the Earth, go to church on Sundays.

882
00:48:45,400 --> 00:48:48,120
Speaker 16: But you've had a lot of woke stuff still emerging

883
00:48:48,120 --> 00:48:51,040
Speaker 16: from the country music industry. So between Carrie Underwood here,

884
00:48:51,400 --> 00:48:54,560
Speaker 16: Jason al Dean his hit Try That in a Small Town,

885
00:48:54,640 --> 00:48:57,200
Speaker 16: his wife going on Tucker Carlson's old show on Fox News,

886
00:48:57,320 --> 00:48:59,239
Speaker 16: You're starting to see some of the mega stars kind

887
00:48:59,239 --> 00:49:01,600
Speaker 16: of come home to their own fan base there and again.

888
00:49:01,840 --> 00:49:04,400
Speaker 16: As a longtime country music diehard fan, I'm loving it.

889
00:49:06,440 --> 00:49:08,120
Speaker 3: I'm with you one hundred percent, Josh.

890
00:49:08,200 --> 00:49:10,680
Speaker 2: I'm a huge country fan too, and it's good to

891
00:49:10,719 --> 00:49:13,680
Speaker 2: be reclaiming the genre from the pretenders.

892
00:49:14,120 --> 00:49:15,680
Speaker 3: That's all the time we've got, folks.

893
00:49:15,800 --> 00:49:19,520
Speaker 2: I'll be going off to the inauguration tomorrow, but I'll

894
00:49:19,560 --> 00:49:22,360
Speaker 2: see you Friday for LEFTI is Losing and don't miss that.

895
00:49:23,040 --> 00:49:24,680
Speaker 3: Up next is Newsnight,
