1
00:00:02,720 --> 00:00:04,399
Speaker 1: On scorn Lils Ostrodio.

2
00:00:05,080 --> 00:00:07,160
Speaker 2: This is the Reader Panalty Show.

3
00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:11,360
Speaker 3: Good evening and welcome to the Reader Panalty Show. Coming

4
00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:14,240
Speaker 3: up tonight. Support for the Albanezy government drops to its

5
00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:17,439
Speaker 3: lowest mark since last year's election. The panel will be

6
00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:20,560
Speaker 3: here to cover the day's top headlines. The Prime Minister

7
00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:24,079
Speaker 3: shaws astrologers that will get through the fuel crisis, but

8
00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:28,320
Speaker 3: the stats tell a vastly different story. Liberal Senator Alex

9
00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:31,560
Speaker 3: Antique joins me to discuss that the Great Josh Hammer

10
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:34,360
Speaker 3: will have the latest from the US, including the note

11
00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:38,080
Speaker 3: King's protest over the weekend, and later in the hour,

12
00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:40,840
Speaker 3: kings In Schofield joins me for the latest in royal

13
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:45,080
Speaker 3: and entertainment news, including reports that King Charles is softening

14
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:48,680
Speaker 3: his stance with his prodigal son Prince Harry, and we

15
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:53,320
Speaker 3: never neglect left his losing it tonight, starring Robert de Niro.

16
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:59,560
Speaker 4: But none have been such existential threat to our freedoms

17
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 4: and secure, none except Trump. He must be stopped, and

18
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:06,560
Speaker 4: he must be stopped now.

19
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:09,959
Speaker 3: But first. The Victorian Liberal Party's pre selection process has

20
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 3: been thrown into turmoil after the man who asked at

21
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 3: popular MP worried deeming was forced to withdraw his candidacy

22
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:20,360
Speaker 3: after it was revealed that he provided a character reference

23
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 3: for a now convicted child sex avender. The Australian newspaper

24
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 3: reports that Dinnish Garassetti provided sworn evidence less than two

25
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:33,720
Speaker 3: years ago attesting to the good character of Cashiap Patel,

26
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 3: who was a member of the Liberal faction and a

27
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:40,920
Speaker 3: good friend. Patel was convicted and sentenced to nine months

28
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 3: imprisonment plus a two year correction order after being found

29
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 3: guilty of grooming, sexually assaulting and transmitting in decent communication

30
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 3: to a child under sixteen. Joining me now is former

31
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 3: Labor MP Michael Danby and Sky News contributor Louisa Roberts. Michael,

32
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 3: I'll stub with you, what's your reaction to this whole catastrophe?

33
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:06,919
Speaker 3: The firstly, the decision to oust one of the few

34
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 3: MPs in the Liberal Party who has cut through with

35
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:13,520
Speaker 3: the electorate, who actually performs well after everything they have

36
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:17,240
Speaker 3: put her through. And then this added catastrophe.

37
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:21,800
Speaker 5: Well, the public hates all of this internal Liberal machinations

38
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:23,920
Speaker 5: and they just wish that you've got an MP who's

39
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:27,720
Speaker 5: effective and hasn't been convicted of Malfeasan's just keep her there.

40
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:30,800
Speaker 5: That's what should have been done. Now. The administrative wing

41
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:36,880
Speaker 5: of the Liberal Party has conducted preselections themselves before the

42
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 5: executive should meet as they have done with other candidates

43
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:43,919
Speaker 5: and put her back in. The problem is I understand

44
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:47,240
Speaker 5: it that the majority of the state executive don't want her,

45
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 5: so they'd have to bite their tongue and think of

46
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 5: England because it's not as in the interests of their

47
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:56,800
Speaker 5: public perception for them for this infighting to go on,

48
00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:59,920
Speaker 5: particularly not for the new state leader. And I agree

49
00:02:59,919 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 5: with ab and Credlin. This has just got to win,

50
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:07,360
Speaker 5: even if you're not ideologically committed to MOI redeeming. For

51
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 5: the democratic contest to take place, you should have people

52
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:15,079
Speaker 5: who are stayed in peace, who are you know, as

53
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:19,079
Speaker 5: you said, very cut through and leave them there.

54
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 3: She's one of the few who actually did well at

55
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:22,520
Speaker 3: the last election.

56
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 5: They should be fighting the Labor Party, not themselves.

57
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:29,480
Speaker 3: Then she was put through hel Luise for standing up

58
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:32,919
Speaker 3: for women, for taking a stand for women, for women's spaces,

59
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 3: for women's sport. It's a massive issue in this state.

60
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:40,920
Speaker 3: We've got male sexual predators in female's prisons in Victoria.

61
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 3: This is a situation that is crying out for some

62
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:49,480
Speaker 3: sort of political intervention, and yet the liberals are too

63
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 3: scared to really deal with it in any meaningful way.

64
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:55,440
Speaker 3: She did, she was attacked for it, the leader defamed her,

65
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 3: she had to take him to court to clear her name,

66
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 3: and now we've god this shambalick mess. I mean, you

67
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 3: can see why labor has been in power for so

68
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 3: long in this state.

69
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 6: Absolutely, this whole episode is a complete gift to the

70
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 6: labor government, isn't it. Unfortunately, and the point you make

71
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 6: of that Moura is a very good one. She has

72
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:16,919
Speaker 6: advocated for the rights of biological women and been ruthlessly

73
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 6: punished for it and then exonerated through the legal process

74
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 6: of cause, but still is not pre selected. And the

75
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 6: person they have pre selected, they obviously haven't done their

76
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:28,159
Speaker 6: due diligence on him either. So the top of the

77
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 6: shambles list is the whole vetting process for liberal pre

78
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 6: selection in Victoria. So did they know about this reference,

79
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:38,839
Speaker 6: and if they did, they continued otherwise. I mean, the

80
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 6: whole thing's a disgrace and it doesn't bode well for,

81
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:45,559
Speaker 6: as Michael says, the voters who really just want action

82
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:48,680
Speaker 6: in the community, and in the state, they're absolutely sick

83
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:51,120
Speaker 6: to death. They've had a gutfull of the infighting. And

84
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:53,719
Speaker 6: if you can't run your own party, how on earth

85
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 6: are you going to run the states.

86
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:58,600
Speaker 3: That is a very good point. And even if they

87
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:04,240
Speaker 3: go back to MOI and beg her to stand, if

88
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 3: I was there, I would tell them to get stuffed

89
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 3: and pick up the phone to Pauline Hanson. Pick up

90
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:13,599
Speaker 3: the phone to One Nation, go out as an independent

91
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 3: if she prefers not to be part of one Nation.

92
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:19,039
Speaker 3: But the way I have treated her repeatedly, now there's

93
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 3: a pattern, is absolutely appalling. And I want to give

94
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 3: you just some of the commentary we saw around this decision.

95
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:31,479
Speaker 3: This is the former president of Liberal Pride, Heath Wilson,

96
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 3: who showed his class. When this news of more Redeeming

97
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 3: losing preselection was released. He posted her picture and the

98
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:45,880
Speaker 3: story with the caption the bitch lost. I mean, Loise,

99
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:48,920
Speaker 3: what do you make of that? It's hardly progressive and inclusive,

100
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 3: is it?

101
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 2: Well?

102
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 6: Can you imagine if she was on the other food

103
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 6: and she attacked him on social media like that? I mean,

104
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:57,839
Speaker 6: it'd be absolute hell to pay, wouldn't it. It's a lazy, sexist,

105
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:00,800
Speaker 6: abusive narrative. I mean, any want to call some of

106
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:04,279
Speaker 6: the B word in that context or overall, is obviously

107
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:07,480
Speaker 6: not very intelligent, has to resort to insults to kind

108
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:10,159
Speaker 6: of make their point. And I'm sure his followers thought

109
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:12,120
Speaker 6: it was hilarious and were sort of choking into their

110
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:15,479
Speaker 6: lattes as they saw that post. But it's offensive to

111
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:18,800
Speaker 6: all women, let alone women who perhaps may not have

112
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:22,320
Speaker 6: supported more in the first place. So yeah, just reactionary

113
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:23,200
Speaker 6: and foul.

114
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:28,480
Speaker 3: Really, and again I emphasize Michael here. This is the

115
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 3: former president of Liberal Pride, So this is part of

116
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:34,159
Speaker 3: the liberal party here in Victoria. This is part of

117
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:39,840
Speaker 3: the liberal community. It's not someone from the Greens or

118
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:42,920
Speaker 3: Labor who's passing this sort of commentary. And I can

119
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:48,080
Speaker 3: see from this why so many capable people say they

120
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 3: will not run for the Liberals in this state because

121
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:52,279
Speaker 3: they don't want to be part of this. They don't

122
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:55,040
Speaker 3: want to be subjected to this. I mean, you expect

123
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 3: to get all sorts of invective from your ideological opponents

124
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 3: on the other side, but when it's coming from within,

125
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:03,039
Speaker 3: it's a different thing.

126
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 5: Well, apparently there's identity politics in the liberal party. This

127
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 5: is virtue signaling to a small group of people who

128
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 5: he must perceive as being pro trans I mean, what

129
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 5: a crazy basis in which to humiliate the state leader

130
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 5: of the Liberal Party who wanted more Deeming back in.

131
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 5: She's a sense of a woman.

132
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 3: This I'd say about Jess Wilson's standing in the party.

133
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 3: If she has said that she wants more to be

134
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:36,960
Speaker 3: part of the team and a decision is made to

135
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:39,240
Speaker 3: Austa and asked for a candidate, who as do we

136
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 3: draw within twenty four hours?

137
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 5: That's why the State Administrative Committee should step in back

138
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:50,960
Speaker 5: the new state leader and put Deeming back in, and

139
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 5: put this issue behind them and go on to a

140
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 5: Liberal versus labor policy fight.

141
00:07:57,320 --> 00:08:01,360
Speaker 3: Well, where Deeming is a Christian, she's a forgiving woman.

142
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:04,440
Speaker 3: Maybe she will forgive them again. I think a lot

143
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:08,720
Speaker 3: of other people wouldn't. Now, let's move to federal politics

144
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 3: now and co. Support for the Labor government has fallen

145
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:15,120
Speaker 3: to its lowest level since last year's election. The latest

146
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:18,080
Speaker 3: newspoll shows the Labour's primary vote has slipped by another

147
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:21,720
Speaker 3: percent to thirty one one. Nation has also dropped one

148
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:24,920
Speaker 3: percent to twenty six, but well ahead of the Coalition

149
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 3: on twenty one percent, and the prime minister beferred prime

150
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:33,560
Speaker 3: minister figures are interesting forty four percent backing Anthony ALBERNIZI

151
00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:38,920
Speaker 3: compared to thirty six percent for Angus Taylor. Louise, Are

152
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:42,120
Speaker 3: you surprised that Coalition isn't making up more ground under

153
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:46,120
Speaker 3: Angus Taylor's leadership and with a fuel crisis adding to

154
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:47,520
Speaker 3: cost of living pressures.

155
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:50,719
Speaker 6: Yeah, I am surprised, but I don't think they've weaponized

156
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:52,120
Speaker 6: this crisis properly.

157
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:52,520
Speaker 3: Reta.

158
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:54,559
Speaker 6: I don't think they've made it. They've made the connection

159
00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:57,640
Speaker 6: between a geo political issue and the actual pain that

160
00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:00,240
Speaker 6: Australian's are feeling. That's what they need to do to actually,

161
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:02,680
Speaker 6: you know, attack the government full front, or is to

162
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:05,160
Speaker 6: really make that hip pocket issue. And because we don't

163
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 6: vote on geopolitical issues, do we we vote on the

164
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:10,600
Speaker 6: fuel price? And I guess you know, with the xcise

165
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:13,880
Speaker 6: cut today, that may give some relief, but it won't

166
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:16,240
Speaker 6: actually tackle supply, will it. It's just a bit of

167
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:18,240
Speaker 6: a cherry on top of the moment to distract people

168
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 6: probably from the May budget, which is the point you've

169
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 6: made before too, So they haven't capitalized on it as well,

170
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:26,720
Speaker 6: and I think we're all expecting them to because we

171
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:28,600
Speaker 6: thought that one Susan was out of the way, that

172
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 6: it'd be a fresh start and you know, support would grow.

173
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:35,480
Speaker 3: But that's not what's happened. I got to say, Michael,

174
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:38,120
Speaker 3: I thought there would be a honeymoon period, we would

175
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:41,080
Speaker 3: see a surge and support from the coalition one nation

176
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 3: perhaps dropping back a little bit, but that hasn't happened.

177
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:48,000
Speaker 3: The measures announced today by the Prime Minister, do you

178
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:52,160
Speaker 3: think that's going to boost confidence. We've got really band

179
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:54,880
Speaker 3: aid measures here, cuts to the fuel excise for a

180
00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:59,720
Speaker 3: short period of time, and other measures that might bring

181
00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:03,199
Speaker 3: some temporary relief, but really the longer term issues here

182
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:09,040
Speaker 3: are completely are being ignored. We are not talking about

183
00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:11,720
Speaker 3: how we can be energy independent, how we can cut

184
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:14,360
Speaker 3: our reliance on foreign oil.

185
00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:17,120
Speaker 5: Really, you've got to remember I'm a Peter Welsh supply sider,

186
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:21,760
Speaker 5: so cutting the X size is actually going to increase demand.

187
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:27,920
Speaker 5: So with short supply, I think ultimately, if the war continues,

188
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:31,760
Speaker 5: we may face the situation where we have a total

189
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:37,720
Speaker 5: gas problem, total oil problem. The real issue, as this

190
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:40,880
Speaker 5: station has identified so many of the commentators, such as

191
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:44,880
Speaker 5: yourself and Chris Kenny supply. We need more gas, we

192
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:49,840
Speaker 5: need more coal, we need more oil. It is fascicle, environmental.

193
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:51,439
Speaker 3: Crazyents of years of reserves.

194
00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:53,680
Speaker 5: You know, we should be the wealthiest country in the

195
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:57,440
Speaker 5: world given the fact that we've got so much cheap power,

196
00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:01,480
Speaker 5: including uranium which is you know, could be fitted into

197
00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:04,080
Speaker 5: nuclear power plants, which should start to be being built

198
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:07,360
Speaker 5: now so we can have cheap electricity. And I say

199
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:10,400
Speaker 5: this as a labor person for pensioners and poor people.

200
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:13,240
Speaker 5: Chris Bowen please remember them absolutely.

201
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:16,439
Speaker 3: I mean, we've already got well before this energy crisis.

202
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:19,520
Speaker 3: People too scared to turn on the air conditioners in summer,

203
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:25,240
Speaker 3: repeaters in winter. But this reliance we have on energy

204
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:28,480
Speaker 3: from overseas oil. We've only got two refineries left. We

205
00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 3: used to have around a dozen.

206
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:33,280
Speaker 5: And as Matt Canavan points out, we've got no refining

207
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:37,559
Speaker 5: producing urea, which is a vital fertilizer that used to

208
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:39,160
Speaker 5: be produced in this country. We have to go all

209
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:42,720
Speaker 5: the way to Saudi Arabia to get it for our farmers.

210
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:45,720
Speaker 3: But this is really a failure of successive governments. You

211
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:49,320
Speaker 3: can't just pin that on the current government. We've just

212
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:53,679
Speaker 3: followed the green ideology headed to this net zero future.

213
00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:55,720
Speaker 3: And we're getting a glimpse of that net zero future

214
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 3: right now, aren't we in? It ain't pretty. Louise Roberts,

215
00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:01,440
Speaker 3: Michael Dabi, thank you so much for your time tonight.

216
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:05,280
Speaker 3: Let's bring in Liberal Senator Alex Antick. He joins me

217
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:09,760
Speaker 3: from Canberra. Alex, Let's start with Anthony Albinezi assuring the

218
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:12,679
Speaker 3: nation that we will get through this fuel crisis, and

219
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:15,240
Speaker 3: a meeting with state leaders. The PM has discussed a

220
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:19,120
Speaker 3: range of measures, including working from home, car pooling and

221
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:22,920
Speaker 3: increasing the use of public transport, and he announced that

222
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:26,400
Speaker 3: the fuel excise will be halved and a reduction in

223
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:28,080
Speaker 3: the road user charge.

224
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:31,640
Speaker 7: The plan outlined how governments will work together to keep

225
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:36,480
Speaker 7: Australia open and to keep our economy going. Early voluntary action,

226
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:40,360
Speaker 7: coupled with new supply measures will make a difference and

227
00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:43,920
Speaker 7: make sure that fuel continues to get to those who

228
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:49,520
Speaker 7: need it most. Our approach is determined by four levels

229
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:54,200
Speaker 7: of action. One plan and prepare to keeping Australia moving,

230
00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:57,360
Speaker 7: which is where we are at the moment. Three taking

231
00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:02,439
Speaker 7: targeted action and for protecting critical services for all Australians.

232
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:07,040
Speaker 7: We're making fuel cheaper today because we understand that Australians

233
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 7: are under serious pressure.

234
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 3: Well, halving the fuel excise for three months, that is

235
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:16,520
Speaker 3: going to lower the price of petrol by about twenty

236
00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:19,559
Speaker 3: six cents per liter. But Alex, is this the best

237
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:23,079
Speaker 3: we can expect from our leaders? These are band aid

238
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:23,960
Speaker 3: measures at best.

239
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:26,560
Speaker 5: Yeah.

240
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:28,000
Speaker 1: I mean, as I was sitting there listening and I

241
00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:30,440
Speaker 1: heard that news earlier today, I was thinking about the boy,

242
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:33,800
Speaker 1: you know, putting his finger in the dyke, trying to

243
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:36,920
Speaker 1: fix the problems in the bursting of the dam, you know,

244
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:38,920
Speaker 1: and it sort of does feel like that a little bit.

245
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:40,679
Speaker 1: I mean, look, there's a couple of things I'd say

246
00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:44,040
Speaker 1: about this. The first one is it is extraordinary on

247
00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:46,520
Speaker 1: any measure that we are in this position full stop.

248
00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:48,040
Speaker 1: I mean, the fact that we even have to get

249
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:50,520
Speaker 1: to this point where we're a long time ago bringing

250
00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:52,760
Speaker 1: in fuel rather than refining it here, that's the first

251
00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:55,600
Speaker 1: thing i'd say, So park that for a minute. The

252
00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:57,719
Speaker 1: second thing I'd say is, I don't know about you,

253
00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:01,160
Speaker 1: but I get this uneasy feeling of day javous about

254
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:04,880
Speaker 1: what's happening out there at the moment with these overtures

255
00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:07,160
Speaker 1: that you know, we won't be rationing. There won't be

256
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:10,240
Speaker 1: QR codes, you won't be locked in your homes. You know,

257
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:13,160
Speaker 1: I don't like it. I've said for a long period

258
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:16,280
Speaker 1: of time, during and after COVID that people will start

259
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:18,640
Speaker 1: to understand what's going on out there in the world

260
00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:20,960
Speaker 1: when they go to the supermarket and they can only

261
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:24,280
Speaker 1: buy one stake because they've had their quota for the week.

262
00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:27,160
Speaker 1: So I don't like where this is headed. And the

263
00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:31,280
Speaker 1: other thing I'd say about it is that the reality

264
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:33,720
Speaker 1: here is there are lots of things that the government

265
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:36,400
Speaker 1: could do in terms of reducing the overall cost of

266
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:40,400
Speaker 1: living benefits. I mean, reducing the fuel excise for three months, well, okay, sure,

267
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:44,360
Speaker 1: what about removing it entirely, or what about making you know,

268
00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:47,080
Speaker 1: the tax burden cheaper on this country so that other

269
00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:49,200
Speaker 1: costs come down. You know, even if we don't have

270
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:52,160
Speaker 1: a fuel shortage and the end people are still paying

271
00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:55,000
Speaker 1: huge amounts that the bows are regardless. So you know,

272
00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:57,760
Speaker 1: this sort of these piecemeal attempts to try and trim

273
00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:00,600
Speaker 1: the edges on what is a broader institutional problem which

274
00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:03,960
Speaker 1: I might say has been caused by politics in this country,

275
00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:07,600
Speaker 1: is unsatisfactory.

276
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 3: Well, staying with the fuel crisis, and since two thousand,

277
00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:15,600
Speaker 3: Australia's oil and petroleum production has dropped significantly to the

278
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:19,000
Speaker 3: point where we now import ninety percent of our liquid

279
00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:23,560
Speaker 3: fuel needs. And meanwhile we've got Australia importing fifty percent

280
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:27,480
Speaker 3: from countries like Singapore, South Korea, thirty eight percent coming

281
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:32,120
Speaker 3: from Malaysia, and Asia relies alex heavily on the Middle

282
00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:35,360
Speaker 3: East for its fuel imports, and the conflict in Iran,

283
00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:40,600
Speaker 3: as we know, is interrupted supply. These figures really are

284
00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:44,720
Speaker 3: an indictment on successive governments, not just the Aurban Easy government.

285
00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:49,400
Speaker 3: Is this crisis an opportunity now to reassess the direction

286
00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:55,160
Speaker 3: we've taken with energy in this country, with energy policy? Yeah?

287
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:56,520
Speaker 1: Well, look, I mean I think you make a very

288
00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:58,840
Speaker 1: good point there in the sense that if one good

289
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:01,040
Speaker 1: thing comes from this terrible crisis, I think it's to

290
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:03,640
Speaker 1: burst the bubble on what we've been doing for the

291
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:05,800
Speaker 1: last twenty five years in this country. You're absolutely right.

292
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:08,400
Speaker 1: I mean, at the moment, most of the blame lies

293
00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:12,960
Speaker 1: on successful labor governments and Greens cohorts that have gone

294
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:15,360
Speaker 1: with them. But you know, my side of politics cannot

295
00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:17,200
Speaker 1: run from this. I mean, you know you go back

296
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:19,080
Speaker 1: twenty five years and it was a liberal government the

297
00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:22,400
Speaker 1: first set targets for Kyoto, and I'm sorry, you know,

298
00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:25,120
Speaker 1: we haven't been strong enough on this. We have allowed

299
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:28,040
Speaker 1: ourselves to acquiesce on things like net zero later on,

300
00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:30,480
Speaker 1: and of course the Paris Agreement, which was another thing

301
00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:33,640
Speaker 1: that was signed by a liberal government. So you know,

302
00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:36,000
Speaker 1: I do think it's a bit rich for us, you know,

303
00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:37,600
Speaker 1: to just sort of wash our hands at this. We

304
00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:39,440
Speaker 1: have to be strong. This is one of the reasons

305
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:43,200
Speaker 1: why one nation are polling so well. They are taking

306
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:46,240
Speaker 1: that ground. People understand in this country that you may

307
00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:48,440
Speaker 1: have views on whether or not the Earth is heating up.

308
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:51,720
Speaker 1: You may think that that little hoax is real, I don't.

309
00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:55,360
Speaker 1: You may then think that Australians can do something about it.

310
00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:58,200
Speaker 1: At one point two percent of the world's emissions in

311
00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:00,400
Speaker 1: any event, I certainly don't think that. I don't think

312
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:03,640
Speaker 1: that stands any intellectual rigor. But ultimately we've got to

313
00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:06,439
Speaker 1: be able to feed ourselves and drive and bring building

314
00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:09,560
Speaker 1: materials in. So what's the priority here and why is

315
00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:11,480
Speaker 1: it that politics isn't toughening up on this? And that

316
00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:13,560
Speaker 1: applies to my side of the coin as.

317
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:17,520
Speaker 3: Well, now before you go, I want to get your

318
00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:21,040
Speaker 3: thoughts on the more Deeming scandal here in Victoria. She

319
00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:24,600
Speaker 3: must be the most mistreated MP in the country. After

320
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:28,359
Speaker 3: everything she endured. She was dumped from the Liberal Party's

321
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:31,720
Speaker 3: Upper House ticket for the state election here in Victoria

322
00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:34,760
Speaker 3: coming up in November, and things have gone from bad

323
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:37,320
Speaker 3: to worse for the happless Victorian Libs, with the man

324
00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:42,000
Speaker 3: who ousted Moiro Deeming, Dinesh Garrossetti Forster withdraw his candacy

325
00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:45,040
Speaker 3: after it was revealed that he provided a character reference

326
00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:49,240
Speaker 3: for a now convicted child sex offend alex It reads

327
00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:52,960
Speaker 3: like some sort of a drama. It's so ridiculous. It

328
00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:56,200
Speaker 3: almost seems like the Victorian Libs are determined to keep

329
00:17:56,400 --> 00:17:57,919
Speaker 3: labor in power in this state.

330
00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:03,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I mean, I'm sure that's not the case.

331
00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:05,040
Speaker 1: But what I would say is, you know, I've got

332
00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:07,160
Speaker 1: to know Moura really well over the last few years,

333
00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:10,760
Speaker 1: and she's just a terrific person. She's a strong, courageous,

334
00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:13,679
Speaker 1: principled person, and she's a great MP. And you know,

335
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:16,800
Speaker 1: I mean, the more time I spend to this building,

336
00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:19,199
Speaker 1: the more I hear from all sides of politics how

337
00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:21,760
Speaker 1: much we need women in politics, and you know how

338
00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:25,680
Speaker 1: much we need you know, strong convicted people of conviction

339
00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:29,560
Speaker 1: in this building. And yet when it comes to conservative politicians,

340
00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:32,600
Speaker 1: female politicians, those rules don't seem to apply. So quite

341
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:35,280
Speaker 1: how it is that the Liberal Party, the division of

342
00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:37,800
Speaker 1: the Victorian Division of the Liberal Party, has allowed Moya

343
00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:41,560
Speaker 1: to slip through their fingers in this manner, is anyone's guess.

344
00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:43,840
Speaker 1: I think it's a terrible shame and a terrible tragedy.

345
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:48,119
Speaker 1: And you know, look, I just think that politics is

346
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:51,320
Speaker 1: going to have to start taking stock of people who

347
00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:54,560
Speaker 1: know how to fight. We need fighters in parliament, state, federal,

348
00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:57,760
Speaker 1: in our territories, wherever it may be. And Moira is

349
00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:00,600
Speaker 1: one of those people. She's a fighter, and she she's

350
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:01,280
Speaker 1: a great loss.

351
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:08,280
Speaker 3: And unlike many of the fighters within the coalition coalition ranks,

352
00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:12,000
Speaker 3: she actually fights the other side. She actually engages in

353
00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:15,880
Speaker 3: ideological battles with Labor and the Greens. You would think

354
00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:18,159
Speaker 3: you would want those sorts of people in your camp.

355
00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:22,000
Speaker 3: Alex Antick. Now, last time we spoke, you made a

356
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:26,280
Speaker 3: off the cough comment about you know, moving to one nation.

357
00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:30,480
Speaker 3: You asked the question, you said, not yet, any further

358
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:33,840
Speaker 3: thoughts on that position. Are you happy with the Liberals?

359
00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:38,560
Speaker 1: Well, well I should say not yet, of course.

360
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:38,720
Speaker 8: No.

361
00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:42,680
Speaker 1: Look I think look, I'm you know, I think we've

362
00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:46,240
Speaker 1: had a terrible last few weeks in South Australia. But

363
00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:48,520
Speaker 1: you know, sometimes it's always darkest for the dawn. And

364
00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:51,639
Speaker 1: I mean I'm a liberal through and through, have been forever.

365
00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:54,679
Speaker 1: And you know, I don't have any plans. I've never

366
00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:57,159
Speaker 1: really spoken to anyone about it. Honestly. Cory's one of

367
00:19:57,200 --> 00:20:00,119
Speaker 1: my good friends and we talk all the time. And

368
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:02,080
Speaker 1: of course, as I said, he dragged me through the

369
00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:05,040
Speaker 1: indignation of forcing me to order low car beers and

370
00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:06,760
Speaker 1: on that time, and we had we had a chat.

371
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:09,760
Speaker 1: But other than that, there's there's really not much, not

372
00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:11,560
Speaker 1: much to it. But you know, I mean as I've said,

373
00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:13,800
Speaker 1: and I don't shy away from it despite what others say.

374
00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:15,919
Speaker 1: I make the same observation about Pauline. You know, she

375
00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:18,640
Speaker 1: is a strong you know, we don't we want more

376
00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:20,840
Speaker 1: of these people in politics, So I've always said, I

377
00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:22,440
Speaker 1: haven't read for it.

378
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:27,000
Speaker 3: We want strong people in politics from both both genders.

379
00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:31,719
Speaker 3: At Senator Alexandrik, thank you for your time stealing Harmer

380
00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:35,760
Speaker 3: lefties losing ed class. We'll have the latest from the US,

381
00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:40,479
Speaker 3: including the No King's protest over the weekend. Josh Hammer

382
00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:53,440
Speaker 3: is up the last you're watching the reader Pane his show,

383
00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:56,720
Speaker 3: and it's time for lefties losing a Let's start with

384
00:20:56,840 --> 00:21:01,560
Speaker 3: feral lefties abusing hard working ICE agents, calling these men

385
00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:05,680
Speaker 3: of color foot soldiers of a fascist regime. The reaction

386
00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:09,200
Speaker 3: from the agents is perfect.

387
00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:11,840
Speaker 9: No thoughts, You guys are the foot soldiers of a

388
00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:12,880
Speaker 9: fascist regime?

389
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:13,160
Speaker 10: Right?

390
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:16,240
Speaker 11: Is that not what it is?

391
00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:16,840
Speaker 9: Is that funny?

392
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:21,360
Speaker 10: Is that funny?

393
00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:22,840
Speaker 11: Yeah?

394
00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:26,399
Speaker 3: It is pretty funny because you're ridiculous. And have you

395
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:29,880
Speaker 3: noticed that ICE agents tend to be far more diverse

396
00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:35,040
Speaker 3: than the lefty losers abusing them, who are almost always white? Interesting,

397
00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:37,439
Speaker 3: isn't it. Now let's check in on some of the

398
00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:42,040
Speaker 3: celebrities taking part Impossibly the dumbest protest ever take place,

399
00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:45,760
Speaker 3: the No King rallies. Guys, if you actually lived in

400
00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:49,520
Speaker 3: the fascist dictatorship that you think you live in, well

401
00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:51,639
Speaker 3: you wouldn't be able to have rallies. You'd be gunned

402
00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:55,840
Speaker 3: down in the streets like protesters in Iran. Something lost

403
00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:59,679
Speaker 3: on the likes of actress Jane Fonda and former MSNBC

404
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:01,040
Speaker 3: is joy read.

405
00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:05,480
Speaker 12: Bring five routes, bring people who haven't gone to protest

406
00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:09,240
Speaker 12: helfore No Kings is like a first step, you know,

407
00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:12,840
Speaker 12: it's like reaching out a hand that's saying God, there's something.

408
00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:14,240
Speaker 13: Everybody's here.

409
00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:14,920
Speaker 12: You'll have one.

410
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:18,560
Speaker 14: You'll be people, and you can protest and look you

411
00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:20,320
Speaker 14: while doing it and get out there.

412
00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:22,000
Speaker 3: And no Kings arrived with five.

413
00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:25,520
Speaker 10: Don't go anywhere alone in these autocratic streets.

414
00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:29,400
Speaker 3: Yep, the lefties did bring their friends and they were

415
00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:33,280
Speaker 3: waving Hezbola flags and her Mass flags and even the

416
00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:37,879
Speaker 3: Hammering Sickle flags were flying high in the streets of

417
00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:41,760
Speaker 3: New York. You know, that's the symbol of genuine oppression

418
00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:45,040
Speaker 3: that has been responsible for tens of millions of deaths

419
00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:57,199
Speaker 3: around the world. But back to the nincompoops, Elebs and

420
00:22:57,320 --> 00:23:00,720
Speaker 3: Jane Fonda was back, this time with fellow aging star

421
00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:05,040
Speaker 3: Bruce Springsteen. You know, these people are too old to

422
00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:05,840
Speaker 3: be this stupid.

423
00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:09,840
Speaker 13: Guess where we are, Guess who's there?

424
00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:15,600
Speaker 3: No Kings do it talking about being too old to

425
00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:19,000
Speaker 3: be this stupid. Leading the New York rally was Robert

426
00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:22,879
Speaker 3: de Niro. There is holding a banner alongside Attorney General

427
00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:27,440
Speaker 3: Letitian James and Reverend Al Sharpton, and sadly, Robert de

428
00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:31,000
Speaker 3: Niro decided to give a speech. Now. In the past

429
00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:34,080
Speaker 3: he has embarrassed himself trying to speak off the cuff,

430
00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:38,399
Speaker 3: So this time he wrote a speech. It didn't go well.

431
00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:42,240
Speaker 11: How can this be happening? Look at the power of

432
00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:48,439
Speaker 11: the No Kings National Uprising. Look at the power of

433
00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:54,760
Speaker 11: the No Kings National Uprising. Afraid of Trump? Please? No,

434
00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:56,560
Speaker 11: they should be more afraid of us?

435
00:23:57,000 --> 00:24:02,680
Speaker 3: Right, Okay, let's give him another guard. He is an actor.

436
00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:05,399
Speaker 3: He should be able to write from a script.

437
00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:11,399
Speaker 4: Tested the constitutional limits of their power. But none have

438
00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:15,720
Speaker 4: been such an existential threat to our freedoms and security,

439
00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:22,520
Speaker 4: none except Trump. He must be stopped, and he must

440
00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:27,280
Speaker 4: be stopped now. And that's what No Kings is all about,

441
00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:30,560
Speaker 4: because he can't do all the things that he's been

442
00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:34,440
Speaker 4: doing without the collusion of Congress and the goons in

443
00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:36,119
Speaker 4: his administration.

444
00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:42,719
Speaker 3: This guy is railing against democracy. Sounds a little bit

445
00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:46,399
Speaker 3: insurrectiony to me. He would be dangerous if he wasn't

446
00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:48,399
Speaker 3: such an unseerious clown.

447
00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:55,520
Speaker 4: It's diabolical. Afraid of Trump? Please no, they should be

448
00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:59,720
Speaker 4: more afraid of us. Yes, because we still believe in

449
00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:06,520
Speaker 4: the cour more American values of justice, equality, decency, and kindness.

450
00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:10,080
Speaker 3: Just zero self awareness from that guy. What a way

451
00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:13,639
Speaker 3: to destroy your legacy by showing what a delusional, hateful

452
00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:16,639
Speaker 3: dem wit you are when you were once known simply

453
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:21,040
Speaker 3: as a great actor. Now why are they marching? Because

454
00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:26,840
Speaker 3: they're crazy, hysterical and dangerously misinformed. In other words, their

455
00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:30,640
Speaker 3: left is losing, and this woman is convinced that there

456
00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:36,320
Speaker 3: are death camps on American soil. Seriously, no death camps

457
00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:42,840
Speaker 3: on American sile, that's what you're saying. No death camps

458
00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:44,119
Speaker 3: on an American style.

459
00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:47,280
Speaker 2: No cats, no death cats.

460
00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:49,880
Speaker 1: Okay, so that's right here, protest with them.

461
00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:51,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, cut.

462
00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:55,639
Speaker 10: Those camps, our death camps.

463
00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:58,159
Speaker 2: Camps are raping.

464
00:25:59,520 --> 00:25:59,800
Speaker 13: They do.

465
00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:08,760
Speaker 3: So they can sell the little tussies and smugget So.

466
00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:09,800
Speaker 9: Where are these camps at.

467
00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:19,960
Speaker 12: H They looked du of Florida, the Florida, the Keys.

468
00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:25,560
Speaker 3: I was just in the Florida Keys. Didn't see any

469
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:30,040
Speaker 3: death camps. Plenty of cocktails, tourists, roosters walking around. But

470
00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:32,840
Speaker 3: back to our celebs, and it's not just your A

471
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:37,400
Speaker 3: listers joining these pathetic gatherings. The dalisters are there too.

472
00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:41,199
Speaker 3: They were all part of this No King's movement, and

473
00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:44,680
Speaker 3: that includes soap actress and failed Real Housewives of Beverly

474
00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:49,199
Speaker 3: Hills cast member Eileen Davidson, who has been scared for

475
00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:51,920
Speaker 3: the past ten years, well except for the few years

476
00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:53,399
Speaker 3: where Biden was in charge.

477
00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:59,080
Speaker 8: I have been feeling really scared. Uh actually for like

478
00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:01,480
Speaker 8: the last ten years. I get my drift on and off,

479
00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:05,040
Speaker 8: but especially right now. There's a lot of weird things

480
00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:07,199
Speaker 8: going on. This war and I ran that nobody voted for,

481
00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:09,960
Speaker 8: and yet here we are at war. I mean, how

482
00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:16,680
Speaker 8: the stuff with the TSA, God bless them, Minneapolis, the

483
00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:20,680
Speaker 8: killings there, Epstein files, The list's endless, and that's why

484
00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:23,160
Speaker 8: it's so scary, right, It just seems like you can't

485
00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:23,960
Speaker 8: see the light of day.

486
00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:27,240
Speaker 3: And the dailists se libs aren't just taking part in

487
00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:33,040
Speaker 3: No King's rallies bragging about being annoying Karen's harassing Ice agents.

488
00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:37,720
Speaker 3: Here is Busy Phillips explaining Ice was in her neighborhood,

489
00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:40,280
Speaker 3: on her street. She was so scared.

490
00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:45,159
Speaker 13: I was in my neighborhood, an apartment building on my street,

491
00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:48,399
Speaker 13: and I just stood there and was annoying, Like I

492
00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:50,720
Speaker 13: was just an annoying white woman, and then they.

493
00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:53,240
Speaker 15: I went into the front. I was just like, what

494
00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:55,840
Speaker 15: are you doing? Why are you just standing there waiting

495
00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:58,760
Speaker 15: at the door. I have a daughter, I'm a single mother.

496
00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:02,760
Speaker 15: I can't and I just was like annoying them.

497
00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:05,440
Speaker 13: Yes, and the guy. They weren't talking to me. They

498
00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:08,040
Speaker 13: were like covert faces. They're like, ma'am. And I was like,

499
00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:10,040
Speaker 13: you guys don't seem like police. I don't know what's

500
00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:13,000
Speaker 13: going on. This is scary. I feel scared.

501
00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:17,360
Speaker 3: The reverse Karen is such a gift to our society

502
00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:20,919
Speaker 3: right now. Yeah, joining me now is Newsweek Senior editor

503
00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:24,360
Speaker 3: at Large, Josh Hammer. Josh, what can you say about that?

504
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:29,440
Speaker 3: But they don't be about these nationwide no kings protest.

505
00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:33,840
Speaker 3: What were they primarily against? Is the war against the

506
00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:38,520
Speaker 3: Iranian regime? Against ice or everything Trump?

507
00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:41,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, Rita, no one really knows. That's kind of

508
00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:42,600
Speaker 2: the whole problem, isn't it.

509
00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:44,880
Speaker 16: I mean, these people are just doing the whole performative

510
00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:47,680
Speaker 16: outreach thing for the entire purpose of being performatively outraged.

511
00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:51,480
Speaker 16: They're doing it because they it's kind of cathartic for them. Frankly,

512
00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:55,160
Speaker 16: they really have no principles, no values. They probably have

513
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:57,239
Speaker 16: no social life, probably have no personal life. Frankly, they

514
00:28:57,240 --> 00:28:59,560
Speaker 16: probably have no spiritual life. They really have no life, perio,

515
00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:01,880
Speaker 16: because they're just a bunch of flaming, stinking losers. And

516
00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:04,360
Speaker 16: this is basically their way of making them feel self

517
00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:06,800
Speaker 16: entitled and ultimately go to sleep. And I'm thinking that

518
00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:09,760
Speaker 16: they have shown it to the man, because, as you

519
00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:12,400
Speaker 16: correctly point out, I actually could not tell you. I

520
00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:15,640
Speaker 16: think some of these people think they're protesting ICE. I'm

521
00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:18,720
Speaker 16: sure some think they're protesting the top lank of the

522
00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:23,400
Speaker 16: Ayatollah kammey Nee. I mean inserts your left has caused

523
00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:25,760
Speaker 16: the day, and I guess that's essentially what it is.

524
00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:28,000
Speaker 16: I mean when it comes to ICE, in particular with

525
00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:31,560
Speaker 16: this self anointed Karen that we just saw in this

526
00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:35,160
Speaker 16: utterly heinous video. You know, ICE is just a law

527
00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:38,480
Speaker 16: enforcement agency. This is something that is so easily lost

528
00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:42,200
Speaker 16: in the conversation. The ICE exists for literally one purpose,

529
00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:46,040
Speaker 16: to enforce this nation's immigration laws. If you don't like

530
00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:48,520
Speaker 16: If you don't like this nation's immigration laws, readA. There

531
00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:51,960
Speaker 16: was a very straightforward process in this constitutional structure here

532
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:54,360
Speaker 16: in the United States to change this nation's immigration laws.

533
00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:57,800
Speaker 16: You lobby your member of Congress. Congress write the law.

534
00:29:57,880 --> 00:30:02,080
Speaker 16: Ice is just enforcing the law. So the constitutional law

535
00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:04,240
Speaker 16: guy in me sees this, I mean holding aside the

536
00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:06,680
Speaker 16: inherent virtue of deporting legal lands, which I would defend

537
00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:09,520
Speaker 16: until the day I die. But the constitutional law guy

538
00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:11,959
Speaker 16: means sees it is like you're getting angry at the

539
00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:14,800
Speaker 16: wrong people there taking If you actually are upset, call

540
00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:18,160
Speaker 16: your congressman, like you actually just lobby the phone nubers

541
00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:20,760
Speaker 16: a public. Literally call your congressman and say I want

542
00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:22,800
Speaker 16: to change immigration for and that would actually, in theory,

543
00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:24,360
Speaker 16: be a better use of your time than whatever the

544
00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:25,680
Speaker 16: heck these no kings it us to do it.

545
00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:28,120
Speaker 11: Well.

546
00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:32,160
Speaker 3: It was a mismatch of different groups. I saw hammer

547
00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:34,880
Speaker 3: and sickle flags. I think that was in New York

548
00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:37,840
Speaker 3: City that were hes blah flags mass. I mean just

549
00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:43,360
Speaker 3: about every deplorable segment of society seemed to be converging

550
00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:48,640
Speaker 3: to protest against supposed King Trump. And again, if these

551
00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:51,520
Speaker 3: people really genuinely believe they live under a dictator sheep,

552
00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:54,120
Speaker 3: guess what, you wouldn't be protesting like that because you'd

553
00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:57,040
Speaker 3: be gunned down. That's what happens in a dictator sheep.

554
00:30:57,120 --> 00:31:01,120
Speaker 3: Like what happens in countries like Iran. But I'm interested.

555
00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:04,920
Speaker 3: Are these protests organic at least? Or are they well

556
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:08,640
Speaker 3: funded and organized with the same sort of shady groups,

557
00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:12,479
Speaker 3: the sous linked groups that we've seen in the past.

558
00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:16,040
Speaker 2: Oh, they are all but as surely not organic.

559
00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:19,200
Speaker 16: There's all sorts of new studies on this, actually so

560
00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:21,440
Speaker 16: in real time. Actually, Fox news dot Com, to the

561
00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:23,560
Speaker 16: great credit, have had They've now done a series of

562
00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:27,160
Speaker 16: investigator reports talking about the extent to which foreign especially

563
00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:30,560
Speaker 16: Chinese Communist Party adjacent to or Chinese Communist Party funded

564
00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:34,880
Speaker 16: information operation groups are operating in the interior. The man there,

565
00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:37,760
Speaker 16: who is the singular hub of the hub and spoke

566
00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:41,160
Speaker 16: model is an American born tech tycoon who now lives

567
00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:43,480
Speaker 16: in Shanghai. Is very close to the Chinese Commuist Party.

568
00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:46,400
Speaker 16: Remember the name of Neville Roy Singham. He is the

569
00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:50,640
Speaker 16: ultra hinde worth funder of a lot of subversive causes,

570
00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:53,840
Speaker 16: including Code Pink. The notorious quote unquote anti war group

571
00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:56,120
Speaker 16: is really just an anti American, anti Western group frankly,

572
00:31:56,520 --> 00:31:58,440
Speaker 16: and they're also the funders of a group called the

573
00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:01,000
Speaker 16: People's Forum. The People's Four were the ones Rita who

574
00:32:01,040 --> 00:32:04,280
Speaker 16: are out there within hours, literally frankly, within minutes of

575
00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:07,280
Speaker 16: the capture of Nicholas Maduro in Venezuela this past January.

576
00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:11,000
Speaker 16: Also simultaneously out within minutes, out within minutes of the

577
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:14,040
Speaker 16: assassination of Ayatola Komny towards the end of February. There,

578
00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:16,680
Speaker 16: it's all funded by this guy, Neville Singham, who was

579
00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:20,200
Speaker 16: essentially a Chinese Communist Party plant, So that's happening on

580
00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:20,720
Speaker 16: the one hand.

581
00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:22,120
Speaker 2: On the other hand, there are a lot of the

582
00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:22,960
Speaker 2: usual suspects.

583
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:26,000
Speaker 16: There's a Soros network, there's a Ties Foundation, there's all

584
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:28,440
Speaker 16: sorts of other leftist dark money. So very little of

585
00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:31,560
Speaker 16: this actually is organifact. It was another news study from

586
00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:34,280
Speaker 16: a great group out of New Jersey called NCRI, the

587
00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:37,640
Speaker 16: Network Contagion Research Institute. There they were talking about actually

588
00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:43,280
Speaker 16: Iranian information operations, so Iranian State Television Press TV actually

589
00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:46,440
Speaker 16: works through American organizations as well to kind of disseminate

590
00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:49,080
Speaker 16: the message there. So there's a lot of foreign information,

591
00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:51,600
Speaker 16: a lot of foreign funding that results in things like

592
00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:54,200
Speaker 16: the so called No King's Rally there. I'm sure that

593
00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:56,760
Speaker 16: some of these idiots are just getting out there because

594
00:32:56,760 --> 00:32:58,520
Speaker 16: it's just word of mouth and they're on some WhatsApp

595
00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:01,560
Speaker 16: chat would have there, but a higher level rita very

596
00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:05,000
Speaker 16: very little. This is organic and it's coming from fundamentally

597
00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:09,000
Speaker 16: shady and Frankie also fundamentally anti American organizations individuals.

598
00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:13,560
Speaker 3: Now you spoke at say PAC which was in Dallas

599
00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:16,800
Speaker 3: this year, and there was a man who also spoke

600
00:33:16,840 --> 00:33:20,120
Speaker 3: at sa PAC. We many hope will lead a free Iran.

601
00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:24,120
Speaker 3: Prince Reza Pelavi. This is how he ended his speech

602
00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:26,320
Speaker 3: to a room full of Iranian expats.

603
00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:32,560
Speaker 9: Other than Trump is making America great again, I intend

604
00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:55,680
Speaker 9: to make Iran great again. So together with my brave compatriots,

605
00:33:56,240 --> 00:34:00,560
Speaker 9: that is exactly what we will do. Thank you God,

606
00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:03,080
Speaker 9: bless America and lovely Yon.

607
00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:08,759
Speaker 3: Josh, tell me about how the issue of Iran was

608
00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:13,600
Speaker 3: handled during Saypack and how much this war is hurting

609
00:34:13,640 --> 00:34:18,480
Speaker 3: President Trump domestically. Do you see the US exiting this

610
00:34:18,640 --> 00:34:21,520
Speaker 3: conflict in a matter of days or weeks or could

611
00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:22,200
Speaker 3: it be months?

612
00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:24,840
Speaker 2: So first of all, Rea, let me just talk a

613
00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:26,640
Speaker 2: little bit about the conference itself. So I do speak.

614
00:34:26,719 --> 00:34:28,640
Speaker 2: I'm not very same sage. We just saw. They're from

615
00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:29,600
Speaker 2: Raza Palabi.

616
00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:32,640
Speaker 16: When I left the conference on I guess the day

617
00:34:32,640 --> 00:34:35,040
Speaker 16: I spoke on Thursday, I met someone for lunch and

618
00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:36,879
Speaker 16: I came back earlier for in a few hours before

619
00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:40,600
Speaker 16: my speech, you see throngs of people, and my friends

620
00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:43,040
Speaker 16: said to me, are these protesters? And I said, let's

621
00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:45,080
Speaker 16: drive off. Let's see, and we get closer. We see

622
00:34:45,120 --> 00:34:48,200
Speaker 16: they're not protesters. There are a ton of Persians. There

623
00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:52,279
Speaker 16: was a massive, massive Persian presence at this conference. There

624
00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:54,799
Speaker 16: were all these US flags with Israel flags, with the

625
00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:58,000
Speaker 16: old Iranian flag, the flag from before the as Long

626
00:34:58,080 --> 00:35:01,080
Speaker 16: Revolution of the old Shah regime. These photos of Razza

627
00:35:01,120 --> 00:35:03,960
Speaker 16: Pallavi with with Trump. Even during my own speech there

628
00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:06,160
Speaker 16: I saw in the back of the room the the

629
00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:09,600
Speaker 16: waving of the old pre nineteen seventy nine Persian flag.

630
00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:13,360
Speaker 16: So I don't know exactly how there was this gargantuan

631
00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:16,040
Speaker 16: Persian presence at this conference. To my knowledge, reader, there's

632
00:35:16,040 --> 00:35:19,080
Speaker 16: not a massive Persian diaspora population in Dallas, for worth.

633
00:35:19,080 --> 00:35:22,640
Speaker 16: In America, the largest person diasper populations are Los Angeles

634
00:35:22,680 --> 00:35:25,440
Speaker 16: and Long Islands, especially in Great Neck, New York. So

635
00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:27,400
Speaker 16: I don't know if they travel for this there, but

636
00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:29,719
Speaker 16: it was genuinely impressive. As someone who speaks a lot

637
00:35:29,719 --> 00:35:31,640
Speaker 16: of conferences there, I was really kind of in awe

638
00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:34,399
Speaker 16: at the ability of the Persian people in United States

639
00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:36,560
Speaker 16: who show up for this conference. So a lot of

640
00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:39,319
Speaker 16: that we just saw there in that brief clip of

641
00:35:39,360 --> 00:35:41,799
Speaker 16: the of the exiled Crown Prince. Now, as far as

642
00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:44,680
Speaker 16: the actual issue of Iran, at this conference, there were

643
00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:48,120
Speaker 16: a couple of people who gave their their hardcore anti

644
00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:52,399
Speaker 16: war and spick shtick excuse me, their spiel. We had

645
00:35:52,400 --> 00:35:54,080
Speaker 16: Matt Gates, we had Steve Bann and a couple of

646
00:35:54,080 --> 00:35:56,520
Speaker 16: people at that there. But we have straw poles rita

647
00:35:56,640 --> 00:35:59,200
Speaker 16: on this topic there, and the straw poles show that

648
00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:02,080
Speaker 16: the overwhelming majority of people there at seatpap by something

649
00:36:02,120 --> 00:36:05,400
Speaker 16: like an eighty five to fifteen or ninety ten margin,

650
00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:08,319
Speaker 16: supports Donald Trump, taking out commenting that this is not

651
00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:10,279
Speaker 16: a close issue and this is just one of those

652
00:36:10,280 --> 00:36:13,360
Speaker 16: many things where there's so much data on this showing

653
00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:16,759
Speaker 16: that this narrative of a Maga civil war when it

654
00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:20,919
Speaker 16: comes to Iran, there it just doesn't hold up. Republicans.

655
00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:24,160
Speaker 16: Trump supporters are overwhelmingly supportive of what has happened thus

656
00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:26,120
Speaker 16: far in Iran. Now, I do caveat a little bit

657
00:36:26,160 --> 00:36:27,919
Speaker 16: and say thus far because there is this open question

658
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:30,600
Speaker 16: as as to what exactly comes next and how long

659
00:36:30,640 --> 00:36:32,319
Speaker 16: this is going to go on. I do not think

660
00:36:32,320 --> 00:36:34,640
Speaker 16: that Donald Trump is There's no chance he's going to

661
00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:37,319
Speaker 16: put a sustained ground operation in place. You're not going

662
00:36:37,360 --> 00:36:40,360
Speaker 16: to see US forces marching from the Persian Gulf unto Tehran.

663
00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:41,680
Speaker 2: That is simply not going to happen.

664
00:36:41,880 --> 00:36:43,880
Speaker 16: Then, now there are all sorts of rumors of up

665
00:36:43,880 --> 00:36:47,600
Speaker 16: to potentially ten thousand additional marines and the eighty second Airborne,

666
00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:50,440
Speaker 16: various other infantry potentially headed to the region. I think

667
00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:52,440
Speaker 16: the most that you could see is a concerted effort

668
00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:55,560
Speaker 16: to take carg Island and various other strategic islands there

669
00:36:55,680 --> 00:36:57,680
Speaker 16: near the Straight of hor Moves. You're not going to

670
00:36:57,680 --> 00:37:00,920
Speaker 16: see a full scale land invasion ultimate readA. My stance

671
00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:02,799
Speaker 16: on this since day one has been pretty clear to me.

672
00:37:03,239 --> 00:37:06,080
Speaker 16: The objectives of Operation Epic Fury from an American perspective

673
00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:08,560
Speaker 16: are quite clear, which is that we want to see

674
00:37:08,680 --> 00:37:11,440
Speaker 16: the neutralization of the Islama Republic of Iron as a

675
00:37:11,480 --> 00:37:14,839
Speaker 16: threat to the United States and our interests Objectively. That

676
00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:18,520
Speaker 16: goal has unfortunately not quite been met yet. It's been

677
00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:22,640
Speaker 16: an a staggerantly successful operation thus far. No doubt about that,

678
00:37:22,680 --> 00:37:25,720
Speaker 16: but Iron is still launching missiles. They're still launching drones

679
00:37:25,760 --> 00:37:27,560
Speaker 16: that they fired two and a half thousand miles at

680
00:37:27,560 --> 00:37:30,239
Speaker 16: Diego Garcia, the joint American British military base in the

681
00:37:30,280 --> 00:37:32,680
Speaker 16: Indian Ocean, just last weekend. So they're still firing. So

682
00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:35,759
Speaker 16: unless until their arsenal is truly depleted and they are

683
00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:38,960
Speaker 16: genuinely truly not a threat, the enrich ERANEU missecured. But

684
00:37:39,320 --> 00:37:41,520
Speaker 16: there are various things that haven't quite been done yet.

685
00:37:41,600 --> 00:37:43,400
Speaker 16: Unless until it happens there, I think Trump's going to

686
00:37:43,440 --> 00:37:45,480
Speaker 16: continue to push this thing full speed ahead.

687
00:37:47,360 --> 00:37:51,240
Speaker 3: Now. Donald Trump was asked by The Five on Fox

688
00:37:51,320 --> 00:37:55,680
Speaker 3: News about the rumors of the new Ietola being gay.

689
00:37:55,760 --> 00:37:56,280
Speaker 3: Have a listen.

690
00:37:57,120 --> 00:38:01,040
Speaker 12: Did the CIA tell you that Iotol Junior's gay?

691
00:38:02,520 --> 00:38:04,279
Speaker 15: Well, they did say that, but I don't know if

692
00:38:04,320 --> 00:38:05,720
Speaker 15: it was only them, but I think a lot.

693
00:38:05,600 --> 00:38:08,120
Speaker 17: Of people are saying that, which puts them off to

694
00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:11,600
Speaker 17: a bad start in that particular country.

695
00:38:13,280 --> 00:38:18,280
Speaker 3: In that particular country, of course, homosexuality is illegal in Iran.

696
00:38:18,760 --> 00:38:22,520
Speaker 3: Joshi also went on the President to note the absurdity

697
00:38:22,520 --> 00:38:28,320
Speaker 3: of these groups like Queers for Palestine and that struck

698
00:38:28,400 --> 00:38:30,839
Speaker 3: me too during these No Kings march as we saw

699
00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:34,879
Speaker 3: over the weekend, we've had all the feminists the Handmaid's

700
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:40,799
Speaker 3: Tail performance that they put on. They are marching for

701
00:38:40,960 --> 00:38:44,520
Speaker 3: the regime that actually does that to women, that actually

702
00:38:44,640 --> 00:38:50,880
Speaker 3: systematically subjugates women, beats them, imprisons them, sometimes even kills

703
00:38:50,920 --> 00:38:54,239
Speaker 3: them for not covering their hair. They're not equal under

704
00:38:54,280 --> 00:38:57,960
Speaker 3: the law. And yet we've got people marching against the

705
00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:01,160
Speaker 3: Iranian regime being decimated.

706
00:39:02,840 --> 00:39:04,960
Speaker 16: You know read I've been following this issue for very

707
00:39:04,960 --> 00:39:06,799
Speaker 16: long times, as I know you have as well. And

708
00:39:06,880 --> 00:39:10,840
Speaker 16: I remember when the former president mahmuna Achmadenjod was invited

709
00:39:10,880 --> 00:39:13,239
Speaker 16: by Columbia University, the Ivy League school in New York State,

710
00:39:13,320 --> 00:39:16,799
Speaker 16: to speak. This is roughly two decades ago, highly highly controversial,

711
00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:19,879
Speaker 16: I would say, evil decision by Columba University. And at

712
00:39:19,880 --> 00:39:23,800
Speaker 16: the time, some students Interlock leader asked Akman Jinjod about

713
00:39:23,960 --> 00:39:28,400
Speaker 16: homosexuality and homosexuals in Iran, to which he said, we

714
00:39:28,480 --> 00:39:31,440
Speaker 16: have none of them here. There are no homosexuals in Iran.

715
00:39:31,600 --> 00:39:33,920
Speaker 16: Is It's what he said, And I can't help but

716
00:39:33,960 --> 00:39:36,359
Speaker 16: think about what he would have said if he knew

717
00:39:36,360 --> 00:39:39,520
Speaker 16: that the next Ayatola would allegedly be gay. It's just

718
00:39:39,560 --> 00:39:42,000
Speaker 16: one of those very funny quirks of history you can't

719
00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:44,320
Speaker 16: help but laugh frankly when you think about it. I

720
00:39:44,400 --> 00:39:48,120
Speaker 16: think the more relevant question about about come Any the

721
00:39:48,200 --> 00:39:51,600
Speaker 16: second little junior, is is he still alive?

722
00:39:51,800 --> 00:39:53,040
Speaker 2: We actually have not seen him.

723
00:39:53,080 --> 00:39:56,959
Speaker 16: He's apparently at least in a coma, he's at least

724
00:39:57,719 --> 00:40:00,520
Speaker 16: severely wounded, possibly even had a lake amputay there. So

725
00:40:00,880 --> 00:40:03,120
Speaker 16: there's a lot of details left to be filled in

726
00:40:03,320 --> 00:40:05,000
Speaker 16: when it comes to that particular thing. But to your

727
00:40:05,040 --> 00:40:07,560
Speaker 16: broader point here, this whole thing of queers for Palestine,

728
00:40:07,640 --> 00:40:09,279
Speaker 16: queers for Iran, I mean, you might as well just

729
00:40:09,280 --> 00:40:11,040
Speaker 16: be chickens for chick fil a. I mean, like, what

730
00:40:11,160 --> 00:40:13,000
Speaker 16: exactly are you are?

731
00:40:12,600 --> 00:40:12,640
Speaker 4: You?

732
00:40:12,719 --> 00:40:16,520
Speaker 16: Are you claiming to do? But I mean read the

733
00:40:16,520 --> 00:40:18,279
Speaker 16: way that I can make it makes sense because I

734
00:40:18,280 --> 00:40:20,880
Speaker 16: always think back to the fact that the left has

735
00:40:20,920 --> 00:40:24,360
Speaker 16: had an insatiable appetite for political violence, going back at

736
00:40:24,440 --> 00:40:27,160
Speaker 16: least as far as the French Revolution nearly two and

737
00:40:27,160 --> 00:40:29,640
Speaker 16: a half centuries ago. The origins of the modern left,

738
00:40:29,680 --> 00:40:32,880
Speaker 16: whether it's the French Revolution, whether it's Marxism, whether it's

739
00:40:32,920 --> 00:40:35,560
Speaker 16: all the failed utopian schemes of the twentieth century, there

740
00:40:35,800 --> 00:40:39,600
Speaker 16: leftism here, there and everywhere leads to violence. And it's

741
00:40:39,640 --> 00:40:41,920
Speaker 16: the late great David Horwitz and famously said that inside

742
00:40:41,920 --> 00:40:44,839
Speaker 16: every progressive is a totalitarian waiting to scream out.

743
00:40:45,239 --> 00:40:47,240
Speaker 2: And you might not think that these.

744
00:40:47,080 --> 00:40:50,320
Speaker 16: Progressives that's very progressive to talk about shria law and

745
00:40:50,760 --> 00:40:54,719
Speaker 16: harsh theocraticismism, and it's really not. But it only makes

746
00:40:54,760 --> 00:40:58,200
Speaker 16: sense when you realize that inherent in the contemporary leftism

747
00:40:58,400 --> 00:41:01,319
Speaker 16: is this yearning, this thirst for violence. That's how I

748
00:41:01,360 --> 00:41:02,080
Speaker 16: make it makes sense.

749
00:41:01,920 --> 00:41:07,080
Speaker 3: At least, and it explains this unholy alliance. Helps explain

750
00:41:07,160 --> 00:41:11,279
Speaker 3: the unholy alliance between the modern left and Islamists. They

751
00:41:11,480 --> 00:41:14,480
Speaker 3: have a shared enemy, but they also seem to have

752
00:41:14,520 --> 00:41:17,480
Speaker 3: a tasteful political violence. Josh Hammah, thank you so much

753
00:41:17,480 --> 00:41:18,280
Speaker 3: for your time tonight.

754
00:41:18,960 --> 00:41:19,279
Speaker 2: Thank you.

755
00:41:20,200 --> 00:41:23,560
Speaker 3: Still to come is King Charles softening his stance with

756
00:41:23,760 --> 00:41:39,080
Speaker 3: Prodigal's son Prince Harry Kinsey Schofield has the details. Welcome back.

757
00:41:39,600 --> 00:41:43,160
Speaker 3: Let's go back to the no King's mass tantrum across

758
00:41:43,200 --> 00:41:46,120
Speaker 3: the US and one of our favorite aging rockers they

759
00:41:46,200 --> 00:41:50,000
Speaker 3: always Lefty losing at Miss Green, Bruce Springsteen had this

760
00:41:50,160 --> 00:41:53,400
Speaker 3: to say in Minneapolis.

761
00:41:52,760 --> 00:41:57,880
Speaker 17: Let's pass Runner, Federal truths brought death and tearor to

762
00:41:57,960 --> 00:42:01,960
Speaker 17: the streets of Minneapolis. They picked the wrong city, and

763
00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:07,080
Speaker 17: this reactionary nightmare and these invasions of American cities will

764
00:42:07,160 --> 00:42:12,240
Speaker 17: not stand. You gave us hope, You gave us courage.

765
00:42:13,680 --> 00:42:17,640
Speaker 17: And for those who gave their lives, Rene Good, mother

766
00:42:17,719 --> 00:42:23,560
Speaker 17: of three, brutally murdered, alex pretty v a nurse executed

767
00:42:23,600 --> 00:42:26,719
Speaker 17: by Ice, shot in the back and left to die

768
00:42:26,760 --> 00:42:30,400
Speaker 17: in the street without even the decency of our lawless

769
00:42:30,440 --> 00:42:32,880
Speaker 17: government investigating their deaths.

770
00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:37,680
Speaker 3: You know, all the left do is alive. Those two

771
00:42:37,719 --> 00:42:41,600
Speaker 3: agitators were not gunned down in cold blood like protesters

772
00:42:41,640 --> 00:42:45,960
Speaker 3: in Irana. They were captured on video attacking Ice agent.

773
00:42:46,040 --> 00:42:48,960
Speaker 3: One was armed with a loaded gun and the other

774
00:42:49,080 --> 00:42:52,640
Speaker 3: random officer with her car. Did Bruce forget to mention

775
00:42:52,800 --> 00:42:56,640
Speaker 3: that if aligned to a group of simpletons wasn't bad enough.

776
00:42:56,760 --> 00:43:00,680
Speaker 3: Bruce then sang and a warning here you're about to

777
00:43:00,719 --> 00:43:02,439
Speaker 3: hear is bloody awful.

778
00:43:07,480 --> 00:43:14,439
Speaker 17: See a flame for fire and ice. Nithanachi pars boots

779
00:43:15,480 --> 00:43:19,840
Speaker 17: King Trump's private army from the diageous.

780
00:43:21,320 --> 00:43:26,640
Speaker 3: Let's bring in the host of the Kinsey Schofield Unfiltered podcast, Kinsey.

781
00:43:27,520 --> 00:43:31,080
Speaker 3: There were a lot of celebrities, including Bruce Springsteen promoting

782
00:43:31,200 --> 00:43:34,400
Speaker 3: and taking part in this rally. Weren't they?

783
00:43:35,040 --> 00:43:38,040
Speaker 10: I think Bruce Springsteen and I have a different definition

784
00:43:38,080 --> 00:43:41,320
Speaker 10: when it comes to invasion of you know, the invading

785
00:43:41,440 --> 00:43:45,319
Speaker 10: of cities exactly. I mean, like, I don't think that

786
00:43:45,640 --> 00:43:48,200
Speaker 10: we have the same definition there. But it was the

787
00:43:48,320 --> 00:43:54,120
Speaker 10: usual suspects nationwide Andette Benning, Kathy Decapitation photo Griffin, Robert

788
00:43:54,120 --> 00:43:59,680
Speaker 10: de Niro, Jane Fonda. I know entertainers rarely prioritize education,

789
00:44:00,120 --> 00:44:02,000
Speaker 10: but we foind a Ward two hundred and fifty years

790
00:44:02,040 --> 00:44:06,560
Speaker 10: ago to reject monarchy. We're a constitutional republic, meaning the

791
00:44:06,600 --> 00:44:09,040
Speaker 10: head of state and head of government is an elected

792
00:44:09,600 --> 00:44:14,160
Speaker 10: president currently Donald Trump and leaders serve fixed terms and

793
00:44:14,200 --> 00:44:15,920
Speaker 10: can be replaced through elections.

794
00:44:16,760 --> 00:44:18,919
Speaker 3: We don't have a king, I mean we don't.

795
00:44:19,640 --> 00:44:23,239
Speaker 10: This looks silly, it looks ridiculous, and it looks like

796
00:44:23,360 --> 00:44:26,799
Speaker 10: a hissy fit. And I just want to think we're

797
00:44:26,840 --> 00:44:28,640
Speaker 10: smarter than this, But clearly we're not.

798
00:44:30,440 --> 00:44:33,759
Speaker 3: Mass hissy fit. But I think the great majority of

799
00:44:33,800 --> 00:44:37,160
Speaker 3: Americans are smarter. It's the usual suspects. It was the

800
00:44:37,200 --> 00:44:41,759
Speaker 3: same people marching for BLM, same people taking part in

801
00:44:41,840 --> 00:44:46,440
Speaker 3: climate change protest. It's the usual suspects. This is what

802
00:44:46,480 --> 00:44:49,480
Speaker 3: they do. They've just got different banners each time. Now

803
00:44:49,560 --> 00:44:54,120
Speaker 3: let's talk about signal or oils virgu signals. Now we've

804
00:44:54,120 --> 00:44:57,960
Speaker 3: got reports indicating Prince Harry is hopeful that he and

805
00:44:58,040 --> 00:45:03,359
Speaker 3: his family can be reunited in Norfolk this summer. He's

806
00:45:03,440 --> 00:45:07,120
Speaker 3: expecting the King to spend some family time with him

807
00:45:07,200 --> 00:45:10,920
Speaker 3: and Meghan and the kids. Kinsey, it's been more than

808
00:45:11,160 --> 00:45:15,760
Speaker 3: four years since Harry and Meghan's children have seen their grandfather.

809
00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:19,480
Speaker 3: Is it likely that he's going to be brought back

810
00:45:19,520 --> 00:45:22,040
Speaker 3: into the fold? Is the King going to welcome back

811
00:45:22,080 --> 00:45:23,000
Speaker 3: his prodigal son.

812
00:45:24,600 --> 00:45:27,880
Speaker 10: Well, nice transition there from virtue signalers to Harry and

813
00:45:27,920 --> 00:45:31,759
Speaker 10: Meghan speaking of celebrities that jump on any trend that

814
00:45:31,920 --> 00:45:33,399
Speaker 10: they think will make them look good.

815
00:45:33,520 --> 00:45:34,800
Speaker 3: Let's talk about Ariyan Meghan.

816
00:45:35,120 --> 00:45:37,400
Speaker 10: I mean, I think it was a little sinister about

817
00:45:37,440 --> 00:45:42,840
Speaker 10: this new piece is a Ravic security associate accusing Prince

818
00:45:42,840 --> 00:45:45,520
Speaker 10: Harry of using a meeting with his children basically as

819
00:45:45,600 --> 00:45:49,560
Speaker 10: extortion to try to secure automatic armed police protection in

820
00:45:49,600 --> 00:45:52,520
Speaker 10: the UK going forward. The source that everyone must be

821
00:45:52,560 --> 00:45:55,960
Speaker 10: horrified by any suggestion of using the King's grandchildren as

822
00:45:56,000 --> 00:45:59,560
Speaker 10: a former bargaining tool in that process. That's why I

823
00:45:59,640 --> 00:46:02,160
Speaker 10: don't believe Harry really wants to spend the summer in

824
00:46:02,239 --> 00:46:05,400
Speaker 10: standring him. I think he's just trying to manipulate his

825
00:46:05,480 --> 00:46:08,799
Speaker 10: way when it comes to that security. Ultimately, Rita, do

826
00:46:08,880 --> 00:46:11,400
Speaker 10: you really believe Prince Harry wants to spend time so

827
00:46:11,560 --> 00:46:14,640
Speaker 10: close to Uncle Andrew right now in Sandringham.

828
00:46:14,719 --> 00:46:19,040
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, I'm just not buying it. No, probably not.

829
00:46:19,360 --> 00:46:22,920
Speaker 3: But I think he's also losing that relevancy so to

830
00:46:23,040 --> 00:46:25,480
Speaker 3: be seen with the royals, to be seen with the

831
00:46:25,560 --> 00:46:28,000
Speaker 3: King and the future King. I don't know. I think

832
00:46:28,000 --> 00:46:30,719
Speaker 3: it lifts his standing from just being a bit of

833
00:46:30,719 --> 00:46:34,680
Speaker 3: a pest in California right now. Now, it's some big news.

834
00:46:34,760 --> 00:46:38,400
Speaker 3: Over the weekend, golf superstar Tiger Woods was arrested for

835
00:46:38,520 --> 00:46:41,880
Speaker 3: driving under the influence after he rolled his car in Florida.

836
00:46:41,920 --> 00:46:45,680
Speaker 3: It was deja voul over again. Page six is reporting

837
00:46:45,680 --> 00:46:49,760
Speaker 3: that his girlfriend, Vanessa Trump has given him a fierce

838
00:46:49,920 --> 00:46:53,440
Speaker 3: ultimatum after this latest misdemeanor, and insider close to the

839
00:46:53,480 --> 00:46:56,960
Speaker 3: couple told The Daily Mail she's not happy at all.

840
00:46:57,120 --> 00:47:01,560
Speaker 3: She's both disappointed and a little bit it pissed. If

841
00:47:01,600 --> 00:47:05,360
Speaker 3: I'm being honest, it's a definite red flag, and she

842
00:47:05,520 --> 00:47:08,040
Speaker 3: told him that he's going to get his get this

843
00:47:08,200 --> 00:47:12,680
Speaker 3: sorted out, and that she's going to require that kid's ill.

844
00:47:12,800 --> 00:47:15,560
Speaker 3: Thought Tiger had turned over a new leaf.

845
00:47:16,880 --> 00:47:19,440
Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean, we don't believe it was alcohol. He

846
00:47:19,560 --> 00:47:22,879
Speaker 10: refused the urine test at the police station, so some

847
00:47:22,920 --> 00:47:27,160
Speaker 10: suspect it could potentially have been prescription pillary related. Tiger

848
00:47:27,480 --> 00:47:31,400
Speaker 10: has numerous injuries to his body and often finds himself

849
00:47:31,440 --> 00:47:36,000
Speaker 10: in pain, but he's also a notorious menace when it

850
00:47:36,040 --> 00:47:39,440
Speaker 10: comes to driving. And it's not just Vanessa who's fed

851
00:47:39,520 --> 00:47:42,600
Speaker 10: up with Tiger's driving. Close friends or speaking out basically

852
00:47:42,640 --> 00:47:45,120
Speaker 10: saying he's fifty years old and he needs to grow up,

853
00:47:45,160 --> 00:47:48,480
Speaker 10: some of them telling People Magazine he's enabled by people

854
00:47:48,560 --> 00:47:51,319
Speaker 10: making money off of his talent and reputation, but with

855
00:47:51,400 --> 00:47:55,400
Speaker 10: his injuries in age, he is frustrated and depressed about

856
00:47:55,440 --> 00:47:57,480
Speaker 10: his state of health. He wants to play in major

857
00:47:57,520 --> 00:48:00,680
Speaker 10: tournaments like the Masters, but he needs to get real.

858
00:48:00,800 --> 00:48:03,440
Speaker 10: Once he does that, he should be better off because

859
00:48:03,480 --> 00:48:04,960
Speaker 10: people do like Tiger.

860
00:48:05,000 --> 00:48:06,040
Speaker 2: He's a good person.

861
00:48:08,000 --> 00:48:11,839
Speaker 3: Oh, he's beloved. I mean, he's a sporting legend, once

862
00:48:11,880 --> 00:48:16,640
Speaker 3: in a generation player, now singer, singing legend, Lionel Richie

863
00:48:16,719 --> 00:48:21,200
Speaker 3: has issued a reality check to Chapel, Roan and other

864
00:48:21,280 --> 00:48:26,799
Speaker 3: celebrities after Chapel's latest controversy making Jude Law's eleven year

865
00:48:26,840 --> 00:48:31,960
Speaker 3: old daughter cry. Now listen to this sage advice from Lionel.

866
00:48:32,360 --> 00:48:34,799
Speaker 14: The thing that happens a lot of times is I

867
00:48:34,840 --> 00:48:37,480
Speaker 14: tell people when they get into the business, there's one

868
00:48:37,520 --> 00:48:40,479
Speaker 14: thing you didn't calculate. I hope you like people. Yeah,

869
00:48:41,440 --> 00:48:43,680
Speaker 14: because if you don't like people, his how it's going

870
00:48:43,760 --> 00:48:46,000
Speaker 14: to sound. You spend the first half of your career

871
00:48:46,000 --> 00:48:47,480
Speaker 14: going look at me, look at me, look at me,

872
00:48:47,520 --> 00:48:49,520
Speaker 14: look at me, look at me, and then you finally

873
00:48:49,520 --> 00:48:51,279
Speaker 14: get famous. Don't look at me. Don't look at me,

874
00:48:51,640 --> 00:48:53,960
Speaker 14: don't look at me. Fun I'm going, okay, Now, what

875
00:48:54,120 --> 00:48:58,200
Speaker 14: did the universe gave you what you were asking for? Now?

876
00:48:58,280 --> 00:49:00,840
Speaker 14: What is that about people? You don't like? Or you

877
00:49:00,920 --> 00:49:04,440
Speaker 14: want to be famous and rich without the people? Doesn't

878
00:49:04,480 --> 00:49:06,880
Speaker 14: work like that. It doesn't work like that.

879
00:49:07,760 --> 00:49:12,399
Speaker 3: Kinsey finally a celebrity with some common sense and also

880
00:49:12,480 --> 00:49:16,799
Speaker 3: some much needed perspective. I mean, he absolutely spells it

881
00:49:16,800 --> 00:49:19,960
Speaker 3: out there. How do you hope to be famous doing

882
00:49:20,000 --> 00:49:24,400
Speaker 3: what you love without having attention on you constant attention.

883
00:49:25,560 --> 00:49:27,880
Speaker 10: Yeah, to quote the Pussycat Dolls, be careful what you

884
00:49:27,880 --> 00:49:30,680
Speaker 10: wish for, because you just might get it. If chaparal

885
00:49:30,800 --> 00:49:34,239
Speaker 10: Ron wants us to ignore her, I'd be happy to,

886
00:49:34,719 --> 00:49:37,440
Speaker 10: But she's going to watch her opportunities dry up along

887
00:49:37,520 --> 00:49:38,280
Speaker 10: with our interest.

888
00:49:39,000 --> 00:49:41,280
Speaker 3: Kincy Schofield, thank you so much for your time tonight,

889
00:49:41,560 --> 00:49:44,640
Speaker 3: and that's it for me. Newsnight is up next
