WEBVTT - The Rita Panahi Show | 18 February

0:00:02.840 --> 0:00:07.280
<v Speaker 1>On scoring leaves Australia. This is the Wider Panalty Show.

0:00:08.680 --> 0:00:11.520
<v Speaker 2>Good evening and welcome to the Reader Patney Show coming

0:00:11.600 --> 0:00:15.160
<v Speaker 2>up tonight. An election date is imminent as the Reserve

0:00:15.280 --> 0:00:19.320
<v Speaker 2>Bank drops interest rates by twenty five points. The exodus

0:00:19.360 --> 0:00:23.479
<v Speaker 2>from public schools as parents increasingly opt for private or

0:00:23.520 --> 0:00:28.600
<v Speaker 2>a Catholic education despite cost of living pressures. A wa

0:00:28.680 --> 0:00:32.320
<v Speaker 2>man fined and convicted for repairing a breach on his

0:00:32.400 --> 0:00:37.760
<v Speaker 2>own land after being accused of disturbing an imaginary rainbow serpent.

0:00:38.120 --> 0:00:41.480
<v Speaker 2>Later in the hour, we'll look at the disturbing crackdown

0:00:41.560 --> 0:00:45.480
<v Speaker 2>on free expression in Europe with Josh Hammer and Left

0:00:45.600 --> 0:00:49.720
<v Speaker 2>Is Losing It features Tom Hanks destroying his brand with

0:00:49.840 --> 0:00:53.360
<v Speaker 2>these cringe antiques on Saturday Night Live.

0:00:53.680 --> 0:00:56.760
<v Speaker 3>We wouldn't be in this mess wherein now? You know

0:00:56.800 --> 0:00:57.280
<v Speaker 3>what I agree with?

0:00:57.280 --> 0:00:57.640
<v Speaker 2>What you doing.

0:00:57.680 --> 0:00:58.800
<v Speaker 4>I'd like to shake your hand, sir.

0:00:58.880 --> 0:01:04.120
<v Speaker 2>Here we go. No, no, I did the hitting, but first.

0:01:04.240 --> 0:01:08.440
<v Speaker 2>The speculation surrounding the federal election date may be coming

0:01:08.480 --> 0:01:11.360
<v Speaker 2>to an end after the RBA lowered the cash rate

0:01:11.440 --> 0:01:14.640
<v Speaker 2>from four point three five percent to four point one percent,

0:01:14.800 --> 0:01:18.560
<v Speaker 2>a move that political strategists believe will help the government

0:01:18.720 --> 0:01:23.280
<v Speaker 2>call back support it's now increasingly likely that Anthony Albanese

0:01:23.400 --> 0:01:25.800
<v Speaker 2>will call the federal election off the back of the

0:01:25.840 --> 0:01:30.039
<v Speaker 2>state election in Wa. Labor MPs have reportedly been told

0:01:30.080 --> 0:01:32.880
<v Speaker 2>that the election will be called any time between March

0:01:32.920 --> 0:01:36.559
<v Speaker 2>three and March eleven, with the election date most likely

0:01:36.640 --> 0:01:40.080
<v Speaker 2>to be April twelve. Joining me now for more on

0:01:40.120 --> 0:01:43.319
<v Speaker 2>this is News Corps senior writer Patrick Carlin, and Patrick,

0:01:43.400 --> 0:01:46.399
<v Speaker 2>let's start with the interest rate cut. First rate cut

0:01:46.520 --> 0:01:50.200
<v Speaker 2>since November twenty twenty. It's good news. I know the

0:01:50.280 --> 0:01:54.080
<v Speaker 2>labor backbenches were pushing for a fifty point cut, but

0:01:54.560 --> 0:01:55.840
<v Speaker 2>we'll take what we can get.

0:01:56.120 --> 0:01:56.320
<v Speaker 4>Oh.

0:01:56.360 --> 0:02:00.400
<v Speaker 5>Look, absolutely, it's the first one, you know, since twenty twenty.

0:02:00.480 --> 0:02:02.360
<v Speaker 5>It's such a long time. People have suffered all the

0:02:02.400 --> 0:02:05.360
<v Speaker 5>way through all the way through COVID and all the rest.

0:02:05.440 --> 0:02:08.679
<v Speaker 5>So it's very welcome. What struck me about this process, though,

0:02:08.840 --> 0:02:11.600
<v Speaker 5>and you alluded to it, was the label backbenches in

0:02:11.639 --> 0:02:15.080
<v Speaker 5>this collective political campaign on the RBA to actually drop

0:02:15.120 --> 0:02:18.000
<v Speaker 5>the rates. And it was very intense. And if you

0:02:18.000 --> 0:02:20.680
<v Speaker 5>look at that election timeline that you just spoke of,

0:02:20.760 --> 0:02:24.200
<v Speaker 5>perhaps April five or April twelve, there's another RBA meeting

0:02:24.240 --> 0:02:27.160
<v Speaker 5>I think on April one, what's going to happen there?

0:02:27.160 --> 0:02:29.360
<v Speaker 5>Are they going to be out and out shouting and

0:02:29.400 --> 0:02:32.919
<v Speaker 5>demanding another rate cut because it helps their electoral chances.

0:02:33.000 --> 0:02:35.080
<v Speaker 5>It really was very very disappointing to.

0:02:36.320 --> 0:02:39.560
<v Speaker 2>And it was intense. And then these calls for the

0:02:39.680 --> 0:02:42.760
<v Speaker 2>RBA board to go out and actually see what's happening

0:02:42.800 --> 0:02:45.400
<v Speaker 2>and get away from their computer screens and just looking

0:02:45.440 --> 0:02:50.240
<v Speaker 2>at a single figure the inflation rate. I do understand it,

0:02:50.320 --> 0:02:53.920
<v Speaker 2>because I think you do have to look beyond that's

0:02:54.000 --> 0:02:57.639
<v Speaker 2>so much of the inflation we're seeing, Patrick is because

0:02:57.639 --> 0:03:00.760
<v Speaker 2>of the mad government spending, so they're causing the inflation.

0:03:01.320 --> 0:03:04.320
<v Speaker 2>And then they're telling the RBA, don't you know, don't

0:03:04.400 --> 0:03:06.720
<v Speaker 2>let that influence your decision about rates, And.

0:03:06.880 --> 0:03:09.680
<v Speaker 5>I look, it's an economic decision and it's done by

0:03:10.240 --> 0:03:12.880
<v Speaker 5>very bright people who yes, And that was That was

0:03:12.919 --> 0:03:14.800
<v Speaker 5>a terrible sort of put down, wasn't it. You should

0:03:14.800 --> 0:03:17.080
<v Speaker 5>be out on the streets talking and working class people. Well,

0:03:17.320 --> 0:03:20.400
<v Speaker 5>they are experts who know what they're doing economically, and

0:03:20.440 --> 0:03:22.680
<v Speaker 5>to sort of make it a political to try and

0:03:22.680 --> 0:03:25.320
<v Speaker 5>shape it as a political decision really is no good

0:03:25.320 --> 0:03:28.680
<v Speaker 5>on so many levels. At a simple democratic level. Why

0:03:28.800 --> 0:03:32.040
<v Speaker 5>politicians getting involved. It's dreadful.

0:03:32.560 --> 0:03:36.200
<v Speaker 2>Well, I'm not convinced that the RBA is all knowing either,

0:03:36.400 --> 0:03:39.800
<v Speaker 2>but we'll debate that at another time. Let's talk about

0:03:40.160 --> 0:03:44.000
<v Speaker 2>landowner WA landowner Tony Maddox. We've spoken to him on

0:03:44.280 --> 0:03:47.440
<v Speaker 2>outside as a couple of times. He's now been found

0:03:47.480 --> 0:03:52.360
<v Speaker 2>guilty of breaching WA's Aboriginal heritage laws after he built

0:03:52.360 --> 0:03:55.840
<v Speaker 2>a bridge over an offshoot of the Avon River on

0:03:55.920 --> 0:03:59.400
<v Speaker 2>his own property. On his own land. We're replacing an

0:03:59.400 --> 0:04:04.440
<v Speaker 2>old bridge that had fallen apart. Maddox was charged last

0:04:04.520 --> 0:04:08.720
<v Speaker 2>year because the creek beneath his bridge is associated with

0:04:08.840 --> 0:04:13.960
<v Speaker 2>the rainbow serpent. That's a part of the dream time.

0:04:14.000 --> 0:04:16.880
<v Speaker 2>We're not talking about an actual animal here. He has

0:04:17.000 --> 0:04:20.240
<v Speaker 2>now been fined two thousand dollars, given a conviction, and

0:04:20.640 --> 0:04:24.000
<v Speaker 2>has to also pay five thousand dollars in cost. Patrick

0:04:24.080 --> 0:04:28.200
<v Speaker 2>to me, this is you've got to be careful what

0:04:28.240 --> 0:04:30.600
<v Speaker 2>you say, because you can't even give an honest opinion

0:04:30.680 --> 0:04:35.560
<v Speaker 2>here without people losing their minds. But it seems astonishing

0:04:35.640 --> 0:04:39.360
<v Speaker 2>to me people who are happy to mock Christianity, are

0:04:39.520 --> 0:04:43.720
<v Speaker 2>happy to mock every major religion. They treat this as

0:04:43.760 --> 0:04:46.520
<v Speaker 2>if it's almost beyond any criticism.

0:04:46.839 --> 0:04:48.720
<v Speaker 5>Well, It's sacred, isn't it. I mean, no one's ever

0:04:48.760 --> 0:04:51.000
<v Speaker 5>heard of it before. And this poor bloke, Tony Maddox,

0:04:51.040 --> 0:04:53.919
<v Speaker 5>I mean, he's doing work on his own property to

0:04:53.960 --> 0:04:57.640
<v Speaker 5>make it easier for him. You're talking about these imaginary

0:04:57.760 --> 0:05:00.440
<v Speaker 5>sort of stories that have nothing to do with the

0:05:00.440 --> 0:05:03.840
<v Speaker 5>ebb and flow of the creek itself. Now that he

0:05:03.920 --> 0:05:08.760
<v Speaker 5>is out seven grand and the stress.

0:05:07.680 --> 0:05:10.880
<v Speaker 2>Having this on your over you having these sort of

0:05:11.200 --> 0:05:14.240
<v Speaker 2>We spoke to him last year and I really do

0:05:14.320 --> 0:05:17.080
<v Speaker 2>feel for people who get caught up in these sort

0:05:17.120 --> 0:05:21.520
<v Speaker 2>of cases because having the cost, that the stress of

0:05:21.560 --> 0:05:24.200
<v Speaker 2>illegal case like this and is now lost. So he's

0:05:24.240 --> 0:05:26.279
<v Speaker 2>now got to consider do I spend more money, do

0:05:26.360 --> 0:05:29.200
<v Speaker 2>I appeal it? And what are the risks of that?

0:05:29.279 --> 0:05:31.200
<v Speaker 5>He said he had never heard of it when he

0:05:31.240 --> 0:05:33.760
<v Speaker 5>did make the changes, and you believe him. He's working

0:05:33.800 --> 0:05:36.000
<v Speaker 5>on his own property and you were just assumed, and.

0:05:35.920 --> 0:05:39.200
<v Speaker 2>He had indigenous people backing him, people from the local community.

0:05:39.760 --> 0:05:43.719
<v Speaker 2>Let's look at some alarming stats from the Australian Curriculum

0:05:43.760 --> 0:05:47.880
<v Speaker 2>Assessment and Reporting Authority showing that students knowledge of how

0:05:47.960 --> 0:05:52.839
<v Speaker 2>Australian democracy works has plummeted to a new lower just

0:05:52.960 --> 0:05:56.560
<v Speaker 2>twenty eight percent of year ten students met the standard

0:05:56.640 --> 0:06:01.440
<v Speaker 2>for civics and citizenship. That's disturbed low Patrick. One in

0:06:01.600 --> 0:06:04.599
<v Speaker 2>four isn't really good enough given the amount of money

0:06:04.600 --> 0:06:08.520
<v Speaker 2>we're spending in this sector. We seem to increase the

0:06:08.560 --> 0:06:12.280
<v Speaker 2>spending in education and the standards go the other way.

0:06:12.600 --> 0:06:14.719
<v Speaker 5>Look, we have one of the best democracies in the world.

0:06:14.760 --> 0:06:17.840
<v Speaker 5>It's better than America, I would argue, it's better than

0:06:17.839 --> 0:06:20.240
<v Speaker 5>Europe and certainly better than any country in the Middle

0:06:20.279 --> 0:06:24.680
<v Speaker 5>East apart from Israel. These kids should learn how it

0:06:24.839 --> 0:06:27.000
<v Speaker 5>works and why it is so good and why it

0:06:27.080 --> 0:06:29.680
<v Speaker 5>is so important. And the fact that they're not sort

0:06:29.680 --> 0:06:32.120
<v Speaker 5>of learning at it, I think actually goes to the

0:06:32.160 --> 0:06:34.599
<v Speaker 5>loss of the Australian identity that we've seen in so

0:06:34.760 --> 0:06:36.599
<v Speaker 5>many ways in the last couple of years.

0:06:37.000 --> 0:06:37.520
<v Speaker 4>Australia.

0:06:37.839 --> 0:06:41.000
<v Speaker 5>It's not a patriotic thing, but we need to understand

0:06:41.200 --> 0:06:43.640
<v Speaker 5>why we are lucky and why we do it so

0:06:43.880 --> 0:06:45.599
<v Speaker 5>well compared to the rest of the world.

0:06:46.040 --> 0:06:48.360
<v Speaker 2>I can understand why they're not being taught that because

0:06:48.400 --> 0:06:52.280
<v Speaker 2>it could actually instill some pride in the country, and God,

0:06:52.360 --> 0:06:54.200
<v Speaker 2>we can't have that as part of the curriculum.

0:06:54.240 --> 0:06:55.400
<v Speaker 4>Can we now?

0:06:55.600 --> 0:06:59.039
<v Speaker 2>Even more alarming than that, News is the latest school

0:06:59.120 --> 0:07:03.160
<v Speaker 2>attendancey from the Northern Territory. Indigenous children in the NT

0:07:03.400 --> 0:07:07.560
<v Speaker 2>are attending school so infrequently that nearly seventeen hundred of

0:07:07.600 --> 0:07:11.400
<v Speaker 2>them aren't even in official attendance figures. Let's hear from

0:07:11.520 --> 0:07:16.280
<v Speaker 2>Sky News Northern Territory correspondent Matt Cunningham.

0:07:15.960 --> 0:07:19.400
<v Speaker 6>In twenty twenty four. According to this latest data, it's

0:07:19.520 --> 0:07:22.960
<v Speaker 6>fifty five point seven percent. Now, if you compare that

0:07:23.000 --> 0:07:25.080
<v Speaker 6>to non Indigenous students here in the NT, there has

0:07:25.120 --> 0:07:27.560
<v Speaker 6>been a drop off in that area as well, but

0:07:27.600 --> 0:07:30.080
<v Speaker 6>it's only dropped from an eighty nine point three percent

0:07:30.120 --> 0:07:33.560
<v Speaker 6>attendance in twenty sixteen to eighty five percent in twenty

0:07:33.680 --> 0:07:36.040
<v Speaker 6>twenty four. And as we were talking about last week,

0:07:36.160 --> 0:07:39.680
<v Speaker 6>the real numbers are actually significantly worse. There are more

0:07:39.680 --> 0:07:42.720
<v Speaker 6>than seventeen hundred students in the Northern Territory, more than

0:07:42.760 --> 0:07:45.520
<v Speaker 6>sixteen hundred of those are Indigenous who were taken off

0:07:45.560 --> 0:07:49.679
<v Speaker 6>the official role because they attend school so infrequently.

0:07:50.160 --> 0:07:53.480
<v Speaker 2>Patrick, there's so much focus on closing the gap, so

0:07:53.600 --> 0:07:58.280
<v Speaker 2>much spending on closing the gap, but those figures tell

0:07:58.360 --> 0:08:01.600
<v Speaker 2>a story, and worrying story. We're not going to be

0:08:01.600 --> 0:08:04.280
<v Speaker 2>closing the gap if attendance numbers are falling like that.

0:08:04.440 --> 0:08:06.280
<v Speaker 5>And it's a Northern territory story too. If you have

0:08:06.320 --> 0:08:09.040
<v Speaker 5>to look at the indigenous attendance rates for every other

0:08:09.120 --> 0:08:14.040
<v Speaker 5>state and territory, they're thirty percent higher than the Northern territory. Look,

0:08:14.240 --> 0:08:17.000
<v Speaker 5>these are complicated issues. All the closing the gap issues

0:08:17.080 --> 0:08:20.400
<v Speaker 5>are very complicated. I've been to these remote communities. I mean,

0:08:20.560 --> 0:08:23.280
<v Speaker 5>you can pick out one symptom as this is and say,

0:08:23.320 --> 0:08:26.520
<v Speaker 5>hang on, this is bad. There's a much wider sort

0:08:26.520 --> 0:08:29.400
<v Speaker 5>of set of problems that go to it. But this

0:08:29.560 --> 0:08:31.800
<v Speaker 5>is out of kilto with the rest of Australia. It's

0:08:31.800 --> 0:08:33.360
<v Speaker 5>a Northern territory problem, it is.

0:08:33.559 --> 0:08:36.760
<v Speaker 2>And they've got a relatively new government. Let's see what

0:08:36.960 --> 0:08:39.319
<v Speaker 2>they can do there. Meanwhile, in New South Wales, a

0:08:39.400 --> 0:08:43.120
<v Speaker 2>mass exodus from state schools is underway as more parents

0:08:43.240 --> 0:08:47.439
<v Speaker 2>opt to send their children to Catholic and private schools. Patrick,

0:08:47.880 --> 0:08:50.360
<v Speaker 2>We're in a cost of living crisis, so this is

0:08:51.880 --> 0:08:56.839
<v Speaker 2>significant news. People are going without making huge sacrifices because

0:08:56.880 --> 0:08:59.640
<v Speaker 2>obviously they see a problem with the state school system.

0:09:00.040 --> 0:09:00.199
<v Speaker 7>Yeah.

0:09:00.200 --> 0:09:02.640
<v Speaker 5>Look, people are choosing to pay according to these figures,

0:09:02.720 --> 0:09:05.040
<v Speaker 5>you know, five grand a year that they wouldn't otherwise

0:09:05.200 --> 0:09:08.160
<v Speaker 5>or or forty grand a year to make sure that

0:09:08.240 --> 0:09:10.840
<v Speaker 5>kids have a decent education. It shows a lack of

0:09:10.840 --> 0:09:14.640
<v Speaker 5>faith in the education system, and perhaps it actually shows

0:09:14.640 --> 0:09:17.320
<v Speaker 5>a pushback against some of the values that we see

0:09:17.320 --> 0:09:21.160
<v Speaker 5>in public education, some of the wakeness that's sort of

0:09:21.520 --> 0:09:24.200
<v Speaker 5>crept in and really taken over in so many ways.

0:09:24.200 --> 0:09:26.160
<v Speaker 5>A lot of people are saying no.

0:09:25.840 --> 0:09:26.240
<v Speaker 4>That's it.

0:09:26.880 --> 0:09:28.959
<v Speaker 2>And at state schools, you really don't have the option

0:09:29.040 --> 0:09:31.040
<v Speaker 2>to say no, at least at a private school even

0:09:31.080 --> 0:09:33.680
<v Speaker 2>if this wokeness is being shoved down your throat and

0:09:33.720 --> 0:09:36.800
<v Speaker 2>you can take a stand because you're paying for it now.

0:09:36.920 --> 0:09:40.600
<v Speaker 2>Tourism and cruise ship bosses have worn the just into

0:09:40.640 --> 0:09:44.440
<v Speaker 2>Allen government in Victoria that it's fifteen percent increase to

0:09:44.600 --> 0:09:47.640
<v Speaker 2>poured fees and the lack of upgrades. So the hopelessly

0:09:48.640 --> 0:09:51.680
<v Speaker 2>old and tied station peer is going to cause a

0:09:51.880 --> 0:09:55.280
<v Speaker 2>max exodus from Melbourne by cruise ship operators. This is

0:09:55.440 --> 0:09:58.760
<v Speaker 2>huge money. Herald Sun reports that the state is expected

0:09:58.800 --> 0:10:02.000
<v Speaker 2>to lose million and revenue as it braces for eight

0:10:02.240 --> 0:10:05.880
<v Speaker 2>seventy percent plunge in the number of ships that will

0:10:06.000 --> 0:10:09.080
<v Speaker 2>use the city as a homeport next season. This is

0:10:09.360 --> 0:10:14.520
<v Speaker 2>just again more Victorian government shortsighted taxes to try to

0:10:14.640 --> 0:10:18.160
<v Speaker 2>raise some money because the state's in debt. It's broke.

0:10:18.760 --> 0:10:20.760
<v Speaker 2>But in the long run it's going to cost us

0:10:20.800 --> 0:10:23.440
<v Speaker 2>money because people come on those cruise ships, they spend

0:10:23.480 --> 0:10:25.959
<v Speaker 2>a day in the city and they spend up well.

0:10:25.960 --> 0:10:28.320
<v Speaker 5>Melbourney doesn't have all the natural advantages of some of

0:10:28.320 --> 0:10:31.599
<v Speaker 5>the other places that cruise ships stop. It has to

0:10:31.640 --> 0:10:34.680
<v Speaker 5>have great infrastructure and they haven't spent the money on

0:10:34.720 --> 0:10:37.880
<v Speaker 5>Station Pier. They've jacked up the tax as they've done

0:10:37.960 --> 0:10:40.679
<v Speaker 5>so many things in so many tricksy sort of ways

0:10:40.679 --> 0:10:43.560
<v Speaker 5>in the last couple of years. It's just another symbol,

0:10:43.640 --> 0:10:45.320
<v Speaker 5>and it's an important symbol. As you say, it's a

0:10:45.320 --> 0:10:48.679
<v Speaker 5>lot of money. The Victorians are missing out on this

0:10:48.840 --> 0:10:52.600
<v Speaker 5>money because of mismanagement or something that's pretty basic to

0:10:52.640 --> 0:10:53.040
<v Speaker 5>begin with.

0:10:53.400 --> 0:10:56.359
<v Speaker 2>We've got port Philip Bay. We do have the natural assets,

0:10:56.520 --> 0:10:59.160
<v Speaker 2>but we're not utilizing it. Patrick, Carli and thank you

0:10:59.240 --> 0:11:02.560
<v Speaker 2>so much for your time Evening. Thanks joining me now

0:11:02.640 --> 0:11:05.599
<v Speaker 2>is pro life activist and professor of law at the

0:11:05.720 --> 0:11:10.360
<v Speaker 2>University of Adelaide, doctor Joanna Howe. Joanna, you've been advocating

0:11:10.440 --> 0:11:14.480
<v Speaker 2>for legislation to protect babies born alive. We've talked about

0:11:14.520 --> 0:11:19.720
<v Speaker 2>that previously on this program. Babies Born Alive. Legislation would

0:11:19.800 --> 0:11:25.920
<v Speaker 2>essentially protect babies that are still alived after a botched abortion.

0:11:26.080 --> 0:11:28.760
<v Speaker 2>And you also want to ban late term abortion, and

0:11:28.800 --> 0:11:32.280
<v Speaker 2>we're here talking about post twenty seven weeks, so well

0:11:32.320 --> 0:11:37.040
<v Speaker 2>into the third trimester. Now here from pro choice activists,

0:11:37.080 --> 0:11:41.760
<v Speaker 2>they say these sorts of abortions are exceedingly rare and

0:11:42.120 --> 0:11:45.520
<v Speaker 2>done to protect the mother's health or when the baby

0:11:45.640 --> 0:11:52.880
<v Speaker 2>has profound disabilities. Is that accurate? It's not.

0:11:53.000 --> 0:11:56.840
<v Speaker 8>Reader eighty percent of late term abortions in South Australia

0:11:56.960 --> 0:12:01.440
<v Speaker 8>kill healthy babies and non life threatening scenarios. So abortion

0:12:01.600 --> 0:12:05.040
<v Speaker 8>is never medically necessary late in pregnancy to save the

0:12:05.080 --> 0:12:08.280
<v Speaker 8>mother's life. A mother's life was truly in danger after

0:12:08.320 --> 0:12:10.920
<v Speaker 8>twenty three weeks and up until birth, the doctors would

0:12:10.960 --> 0:12:13.600
<v Speaker 8>go in and do an emergency C section. They wouldn't

0:12:13.640 --> 0:12:17.160
<v Speaker 8>waste time doing a late term abortion, which takes hours

0:12:17.240 --> 0:12:22.600
<v Speaker 8>instead of minutes. And the fact that pro abortion activists

0:12:22.600 --> 0:12:26.400
<v Speaker 8>say that late term abortions are excessively rare, well, really

0:12:26.679 --> 0:12:30.360
<v Speaker 8>that really what that's referring to is the fact that

0:12:30.400 --> 0:12:33.000
<v Speaker 8>there are eighty eight thousand abortions every year in Australia,

0:12:33.000 --> 0:12:34.880
<v Speaker 8>it's the leading cause of death. And so when they

0:12:34.880 --> 0:12:36.960
<v Speaker 8>say it's less than one to two percent, it's still

0:12:37.040 --> 0:12:40.120
<v Speaker 8>eight hundred and eighty babies every year who are being

0:12:40.160 --> 0:12:43.440
<v Speaker 8>needlessly killed instead of being delivered alive.

0:12:45.880 --> 0:12:49.560
<v Speaker 2>Do we have sound data on how many late term

0:12:49.600 --> 0:12:54.560
<v Speaker 2>abortions so perhaps we're talking here about twenty weeks onwards.

0:12:55.600 --> 0:12:58.080
<v Speaker 2>Do we have that sort of data that we can

0:12:58.280 --> 0:12:58.839
<v Speaker 2>rely on.

0:13:01.559 --> 0:13:03.640
<v Speaker 8>Not every state releases the data, but I'll tell you

0:13:03.640 --> 0:13:06.600
<v Speaker 8>about the three states that do so. In Victoria and Queensland,

0:13:06.640 --> 0:13:09.959
<v Speaker 8>between twenty ten and twenty twenty, there were over five

0:13:10.080 --> 0:13:13.960
<v Speaker 8>thousand babies killed after twenty weeks and up until birth.

0:13:14.000 --> 0:13:16.360
<v Speaker 8>And this isn't a nice process reader.

0:13:16.400 --> 0:13:17.400
<v Speaker 4>It's through the.

0:13:17.320 --> 0:13:21.200
<v Speaker 8>Injection of poison but tassim chloride into the baby's heart

0:13:21.440 --> 0:13:24.840
<v Speaker 8>while in utero. Then the mother takes labour inducing drugs

0:13:24.840 --> 0:13:28.040
<v Speaker 8>and is actually forced to give birth to a stillborn baby,

0:13:28.040 --> 0:13:32.200
<v Speaker 8>to a dead baby. In South Australia, which introduced abortion

0:13:32.280 --> 0:13:35.360
<v Speaker 8>up to birth eighteen months ago, there's actually been forty

0:13:35.440 --> 0:13:38.319
<v Speaker 8>five healthy babies, so nothing wrong with them. They weren't

0:13:38.360 --> 0:13:41.360
<v Speaker 8>killed in emergency situations to save the mother's life. Forty

0:13:41.360 --> 0:13:44.920
<v Speaker 8>five healthy babies were injected with poison and delivered dead.

0:13:45.160 --> 0:13:47.880
<v Speaker 8>There were an additional twelve babies that had some form

0:13:47.920 --> 0:13:50.440
<v Speaker 8>of disability, and there's no criteria that it has to

0:13:50.480 --> 0:13:52.959
<v Speaker 8>be life threatening or that the baby's going to die.

0:13:53.160 --> 0:13:56.600
<v Speaker 8>There are cases of babies being aborted late in pregnancy

0:13:56.600 --> 0:13:59.199
<v Speaker 8>because of down syndrome or because of cleft lip or

0:13:59.320 --> 0:14:02.760
<v Speaker 8>club hand, so these are not life limiting conditions. And

0:14:03.320 --> 0:14:05.680
<v Speaker 8>you know the bill that I introduced that I worked

0:14:05.679 --> 0:14:08.120
<v Speaker 8>with other people to introduce. It simply said that after

0:14:08.160 --> 0:14:11.520
<v Speaker 8>twenty seven weeks, instead of injecting the baby with poison

0:14:11.520 --> 0:14:13.840
<v Speaker 8>and delivering them dead, we would allow a mother to

0:14:13.960 --> 0:14:17.160
<v Speaker 8>terminate her pregnancy up until birth, but that after twenty

0:14:17.200 --> 0:14:19.760
<v Speaker 8>seven weeks the baby would be delivered alive and could

0:14:19.800 --> 0:14:20.640
<v Speaker 8>be placed for adoption.

0:14:23.080 --> 0:14:26.800
<v Speaker 2>Well, that bill was voted down by just one vote

0:14:27.000 --> 0:14:31.640
<v Speaker 2>last year. Has there been any progress since then? Are

0:14:31.680 --> 0:14:36.400
<v Speaker 2>there any plans to reintroduce that bill?

0:14:36.880 --> 0:14:39.520
<v Speaker 8>It was devastating to lose by one vote, but what

0:14:39.560 --> 0:14:42.720
<v Speaker 8>it showed us was how close we were and what

0:14:42.800 --> 0:14:45.800
<v Speaker 8>we are now focusing on is activating the South Australian

0:14:45.800 --> 0:14:48.480
<v Speaker 8>community and raising awareness of the fact that abortion is

0:14:48.560 --> 0:14:51.120
<v Speaker 8>legal up to birth for any reason. In South Australia

0:14:51.160 --> 0:14:53.680
<v Speaker 8>and that it kills healthy babies up until birth for

0:14:53.720 --> 0:14:57.320
<v Speaker 8>any reason. Most ordinary South Australians are shocked when they

0:14:57.440 --> 0:14:59.600
<v Speaker 8>find this out. And you can see some of this

0:14:59.640 --> 0:15:02.920
<v Speaker 8>footage on my socials Dr Joanna Howe on Instagram or

0:15:02.920 --> 0:15:06.040
<v Speaker 8>my Daily Show on YouTube and Spotify, the Doctor Joe Show.

0:15:06.320 --> 0:15:08.640
<v Speaker 8>I am showing interviews that I'm doing with South Australians

0:15:08.640 --> 0:15:11.080
<v Speaker 8>as they become aware of this fact. And you know,

0:15:11.120 --> 0:15:13.200
<v Speaker 8>there were five thousand Australians that turned up to the

0:15:13.280 --> 0:15:16.600
<v Speaker 8>rally in support of our bill, three hundred masked pro

0:15:16.640 --> 0:15:18.920
<v Speaker 8>abortion protesters who were opposed to it.

0:15:19.280 --> 0:15:21.120
<v Speaker 2>Let's just have a look at some of that footage

0:15:21.240 --> 0:15:26.080
<v Speaker 2>that you uploaded on your social media account on Instagram.

0:15:27.080 --> 0:15:31.120
<v Speaker 2>You had pro abortion protesters who had turned up to

0:15:31.200 --> 0:15:33.760
<v Speaker 2>that protest, who cared enough to be there. But when

0:15:33.800 --> 0:15:38.040
<v Speaker 2>you ask them to articulate their position, well you got this.

0:15:38.280 --> 0:15:38.400
<v Speaker 4>Well.

0:15:38.400 --> 0:15:40.000
<v Speaker 9>I just wanted to ask you why you're here today?

0:15:40.080 --> 0:15:42.160
<v Speaker 9>Is what it is your protest against? What is it

0:15:42.200 --> 0:15:47.520
<v Speaker 9>about the livest bill? Pack you as you can lease

0:15:47.560 --> 0:15:50.440
<v Speaker 9>ask you why you're here against the livest Well, what

0:15:50.520 --> 0:15:51.560
<v Speaker 9>is it that you're opposed to?

0:15:52.240 --> 0:15:52.360
<v Speaker 4>Now?

0:15:52.400 --> 0:15:54.800
<v Speaker 9>I asked you turned off the phone's I'm lucky.

0:15:54.840 --> 0:15:58.120
<v Speaker 2>Maybe sadly it wasn't a third time lucky. You didn't

0:15:58.160 --> 0:16:01.840
<v Speaker 2>manage to get anybody to respond to you in that video.

0:16:01.920 --> 0:16:04.520
<v Speaker 2>We've run out of time, doctor, how thank you so

0:16:04.600 --> 0:16:08.760
<v Speaker 2>much for your time. Appreciated. Still to come, Lefties losing

0:16:08.800 --> 0:16:12.320
<v Speaker 2>it plus US borders are Tom Homan has his sight

0:16:12.480 --> 0:16:18.080
<v Speaker 2>set on Democrat Alexandria Kazia Cortez. Kosha Gator joins me. Next,

0:16:27.160 --> 0:16:29.720
<v Speaker 2>you're watching the Reader Panny Show, and it's time for

0:16:29.920 --> 0:16:32.960
<v Speaker 2>lefties losing it. And I regret to inform you that

0:16:33.080 --> 0:16:37.760
<v Speaker 2>Hollywood celebrities, even ones who were once widely admired, have

0:16:37.880 --> 0:16:41.200
<v Speaker 2>decided to trash their own brand in an effort to

0:16:41.240 --> 0:16:46.400
<v Speaker 2>get Trump. Just watch this pathetic performance from Tom Hanks.

0:16:46.600 --> 0:16:49.120
<v Speaker 2>Oh thank you, heck, I'm speaking to church. Can I

0:16:49.160 --> 0:16:49.720
<v Speaker 2>say something?

0:16:50.360 --> 0:16:53.760
<v Speaker 10>If more folks weren't to church, we wouldn't be in

0:16:53.800 --> 0:16:55.000
<v Speaker 10>this mess we're in now.

0:16:55.320 --> 0:16:58.880
<v Speaker 2>And it didn't end there. Watch what happens when a

0:16:58.960 --> 0:17:02.760
<v Speaker 2>black man tries to shake the hands of Tom Hank's

0:17:03.320 --> 0:17:06.960
<v Speaker 2>idea of a Trump supporter. This is what these out

0:17:06.960 --> 0:17:10.880
<v Speaker 2>of touch dim wits from Hollywood think of the average American.

0:17:10.920 --> 0:17:14.640
<v Speaker 2>They don't just hate the president, they hate the majority

0:17:14.680 --> 0:17:15.520
<v Speaker 2>of their countrymen.

0:17:15.680 --> 0:17:16.440
<v Speaker 3>You know what I agree with?

0:17:16.560 --> 0:17:16.680
<v Speaker 5>You do.

0:17:16.800 --> 0:17:17.920
<v Speaker 3>I'd like to shake your hand, sir.

0:17:18.000 --> 0:17:18.439
<v Speaker 4>Here we go.

0:17:19.720 --> 0:17:25.400
<v Speaker 3>No, no, oh no, no, just a handshake. You welcome?

0:17:26.080 --> 0:17:28.080
<v Speaker 3>All right, Well, thank you my mind.

0:17:28.080 --> 0:17:31.359
<v Speaker 5>But brother, maybe I'll start a show for you to

0:17:31.440 --> 0:17:34.120
<v Speaker 5>come on and we'll call it what jeopardy?

0:17:34.760 --> 0:17:36.679
<v Speaker 1>We don't need it, We don't need it.

0:17:36.880 --> 0:17:41.720
<v Speaker 2>Remember when Saturday Night Live was actually funny? Me? Neither,

0:17:42.119 --> 0:17:46.920
<v Speaker 2>that's just weapon, a grade cringe, bereft of any wit,

0:17:47.240 --> 0:17:51.679
<v Speaker 2>insight or anything approaching humor. And Tom Hanks and the

0:17:51.800 --> 0:17:56.160
<v Speaker 2>SNL writers must think that's the average Trump voter, including

0:17:56.200 --> 0:17:59.200
<v Speaker 2>the vast coalition of migrants who voted for Trump that

0:17:59.320 --> 0:18:03.160
<v Speaker 2>considered them more all what dumb and racist? I call

0:18:03.240 --> 0:18:07.679
<v Speaker 2>that projection. And before we look at more celebrities embarrassing themselves,

0:18:07.760 --> 0:18:11.439
<v Speaker 2>let's see how average Americans reacted to President Trump this

0:18:11.600 --> 0:18:15.639
<v Speaker 2>time at Daytona. Listen for the crowd reaction when Donald

0:18:15.640 --> 0:18:19.400
<v Speaker 2>Trump was on the big screen during the anthem, exactly

0:18:19.600 --> 0:18:31.400
<v Speaker 2>like what happened at the super Bowl.

0:18:28.760 --> 0:18:34.560
<v Speaker 4>Or the live.

0:18:34.720 --> 0:18:37.800
<v Speaker 2>Back to the celebrity class, and let's have a look

0:18:37.840 --> 0:18:42.399
<v Speaker 2>at this brave and stunning bit of activism from singer

0:18:42.440 --> 0:18:47.400
<v Speaker 2>Sheryl Crowe, who has sold her Tesla as a protest

0:18:47.440 --> 0:18:59.640
<v Speaker 2>against Donald Trump. At Elon Musk, she posted that herself. Yes,

0:19:00.080 --> 0:19:03.640
<v Speaker 2>and there's more, she had to virtue signal about donating

0:19:03.720 --> 0:19:08.480
<v Speaker 2>the proceeds to leftist media outlet NPR. Just so brave

0:19:08.520 --> 0:19:11.840
<v Speaker 2>and stunning. Now, let's go to Rachel Maddow at the

0:19:12.040 --> 0:19:17.199
<v Speaker 2>lunatic asylum that identifies as MSNBC. Listen here as she

0:19:17.520 --> 0:19:20.800
<v Speaker 2>beclowns herself with this bit of fake news.

0:19:21.040 --> 0:19:24.320
<v Speaker 11>Elon Musk has apparently somehow convinced the United States government,

0:19:24.400 --> 0:19:30.440
<v Speaker 11>specifically the United States Department of State, that the taxpayers

0:19:30.600 --> 0:19:34.280
<v Speaker 11>of the United States of America should spend four hundred

0:19:34.400 --> 0:19:41.640
<v Speaker 11>million dollars buying quote armored Tesla production units. Isn't it great?

0:19:41.680 --> 0:19:46.040
<v Speaker 11>And definitely not at all illegal or profoundly corrupt. Definitely

0:19:46.080 --> 0:19:48.280
<v Speaker 11>not ripping us all off to pay themselves.

0:19:48.359 --> 0:19:54.200
<v Speaker 2>Right to hear that profoundly corrupt, illegal, outrageous, Except there's

0:19:54.240 --> 0:19:59.639
<v Speaker 2>one little problem, Rachel. Let Fox News's Jesse Waters fill

0:19:59.680 --> 0:20:01.560
<v Speaker 2>you on a pertinent fact.

0:20:01.760 --> 0:20:04.879
<v Speaker 6>Donald Trump didn't give that contract to Elon Musk.

0:20:05.560 --> 0:20:07.080
<v Speaker 3>Joe Biden gave it to him.

0:20:07.480 --> 0:20:11.280
<v Speaker 2>It was Joe Biden, Rachel, it was Joe Biden. Just

0:20:11.400 --> 0:20:16.600
<v Speaker 2>more misinformation from the chief Russian collusion hoaxer, Rachel Matter.

0:20:17.119 --> 0:20:20.920
<v Speaker 2>Now let's check in with a transactivist with this important message.

0:20:21.040 --> 0:20:25.359
<v Speaker 3>The pronouns aren't preferred, they are mandatory. Do not purpose

0:20:25.400 --> 0:20:27.040
<v Speaker 3>fullamus gender trans people.

0:20:27.840 --> 0:20:31.160
<v Speaker 2>You do not get to decide how someone identifies.

0:20:31.320 --> 0:20:33.879
<v Speaker 12>My pronouns aren't preferred, they are mandatory.

0:20:35.400 --> 0:20:39.560
<v Speaker 2>No, no, they're not talking about transactivists. Here is one

0:20:39.640 --> 0:20:44.360
<v Speaker 2>with Michael Knowles, and she first claims that men identifying

0:20:44.480 --> 0:20:48.400
<v Speaker 2>as women are not stealing women's trophies and medals, and

0:20:48.440 --> 0:20:53.520
<v Speaker 2>then within seconds there's a flip. Apparently it's a good

0:20:53.560 --> 0:20:54.600
<v Speaker 2>thing that that's happening.

0:20:54.880 --> 0:20:58.240
<v Speaker 13>Nine hundred sports trophies from women in recent years, and

0:20:58.359 --> 0:21:01.000
<v Speaker 13>they they took nine hundred This is report just came out

0:21:01.000 --> 0:21:04.360
<v Speaker 13>from the United Nations. Actually eight hundred and ninety trophies

0:21:04.359 --> 0:21:08.040
<v Speaker 13>and medals across six hundred women who were competing competitors

0:21:08.160 --> 0:21:11.159
<v Speaker 13>across twenty nine different sports and four hundred competitions that

0:21:11.240 --> 0:21:11.760
<v Speaker 13>came out.

0:21:11.640 --> 0:21:13.520
<v Speaker 3>Like yesterday, and they deserve them.

0:21:14.720 --> 0:21:16.840
<v Speaker 13>It didn't happen, and they deserve them. Okay, that is

0:21:16.880 --> 0:21:19.000
<v Speaker 13>the logic I hear from the pro transcrat think you

0:21:19.119 --> 0:21:19.879
<v Speaker 13>they do deserve that.

0:21:20.040 --> 0:21:22.560
<v Speaker 2>It didn't happen, and they deserve them. Michael Knowles as

0:21:22.600 --> 0:21:26.399
<v Speaker 2>the patients of the Saint joining me now is Sky

0:21:26.520 --> 0:21:31.120
<v Speaker 2>News contributor Kosher Gaeta Kosher. Let's start with Bordizar Tom Hoeman.

0:21:31.880 --> 0:21:37.199
<v Speaker 2>He's got his sites set on Democrat Alexandria Akazia Cortes. No,

0:21:37.280 --> 0:21:39.560
<v Speaker 2>he doesn't want to deport her. She's a US citizen

0:21:39.600 --> 0:21:42.840
<v Speaker 2>after all, but her attempts to help illegal immigrants evade

0:21:42.840 --> 0:21:47.400
<v Speaker 2>authorities may see her charged by the Department of Justice.

0:21:47.720 --> 0:21:51.359
<v Speaker 2>AOC has been pushing a webinar claiming that ice raids

0:21:51.359 --> 0:21:55.000
<v Speaker 2>are political tactics that are intended to create fear. And

0:21:55.080 --> 0:21:58.640
<v Speaker 2>this webinar also encourages migrants not to open their door

0:21:58.720 --> 0:22:03.200
<v Speaker 2>if federal agents and knocking. That seems unwise, Kosher unwise.

0:22:03.080 --> 0:22:03.520
<v Speaker 4>It does.

0:22:03.720 --> 0:22:06.119
<v Speaker 7>And Tom Horman does not come across as the kind

0:22:06.119 --> 0:22:08.240
<v Speaker 7>of guy you want to mess with. And she has

0:22:08.320 --> 0:22:11.159
<v Speaker 7>barred with him before. And there's this viral congressional hearing

0:22:11.160 --> 0:22:13.679
<v Speaker 7>from last year or four years ago maybe where she

0:22:13.800 --> 0:22:15.320
<v Speaker 7>was doing a different version of.

0:22:15.240 --> 0:22:15.720
<v Speaker 4>The same thing.

0:22:16.040 --> 0:22:18.080
<v Speaker 7>But whether it's her doing this, we saw Governor Phil

0:22:18.320 --> 0:22:21.879
<v Speaker 7>Murphy of New Jersey a few weeks ago blatantly saying

0:22:21.920 --> 0:22:24.560
<v Speaker 7>that he's housing an illegal on top of his garage

0:22:24.600 --> 0:22:27.200
<v Speaker 7>and I dare the FEDS to come in, and others

0:22:27.280 --> 0:22:29.480
<v Speaker 7>like that. It's really interesting. It shows that they're so

0:22:30.119 --> 0:22:33.040
<v Speaker 7>comfortable with flouting immigration law, which has gone on forever

0:22:33.080 --> 0:22:35.159
<v Speaker 7>in a day in America, and they obviously believe that

0:22:35.160 --> 0:22:38.359
<v Speaker 7>they're beyond approach. So he is suggesting that the DOJ

0:22:39.400 --> 0:22:42.720
<v Speaker 7>go after people like this elected representatives that are suggesting

0:22:42.760 --> 0:22:44.239
<v Speaker 7>the flouting of the law. I don't know if they

0:22:44.280 --> 0:22:46.159
<v Speaker 7>will do that, but you never know. You make an

0:22:46.200 --> 0:22:48.520
<v Speaker 7>example of one person in some way and it might

0:22:48.920 --> 0:22:50.760
<v Speaker 7>deter others from taking a similar tactic.

0:22:51.320 --> 0:22:55.520
<v Speaker 2>Well, it seems unwise politically as well. We know Ioassay

0:22:55.560 --> 0:22:58.359
<v Speaker 2>in the squad there to the very far left of

0:22:58.400 --> 0:23:01.200
<v Speaker 2>the Democrats. But really they've sit their gender, it seems

0:23:01.240 --> 0:23:04.640
<v Speaker 2>for some time. But the Democrats can read the polls.

0:23:04.680 --> 0:23:09.840
<v Speaker 2>They know these programs to control illegal immigration, to deportations,

0:23:09.960 --> 0:23:14.639
<v Speaker 2>controlling the crisis of the border, they're popular. So why

0:23:14.680 --> 0:23:19.320
<v Speaker 2>would they want to highlight not just their failures in

0:23:19.520 --> 0:23:23.000
<v Speaker 2>opening the floodgates, but also just signal to the rest

0:23:23.000 --> 0:23:26.359
<v Speaker 2>of the country that we're okay with this, We're in

0:23:26.400 --> 0:23:27.560
<v Speaker 2>fact facilitating this.

0:23:27.640 --> 0:23:28.439
<v Speaker 4>It's a good point.

0:23:28.640 --> 0:23:30.920
<v Speaker 7>They seem to be behind the curve now, the theyrout

0:23:30.920 --> 0:23:33.719
<v Speaker 7>in the wilderness, and have been defeated after really holding

0:23:33.760 --> 0:23:36.119
<v Speaker 7>on to every institution and being on the winning side

0:23:36.160 --> 0:23:37.960
<v Speaker 7>for so long. It sounds like they don't know how

0:23:37.960 --> 0:23:40.880
<v Speaker 7>to actually be on the losing side and read the room.

0:23:41.359 --> 0:23:43.959
<v Speaker 7>And you're right that the public support for this has

0:23:43.960 --> 0:23:46.640
<v Speaker 7>shifted so dramatically. Just even ten years a would looked

0:23:46.720 --> 0:23:49.119
<v Speaker 7>nothing like this. Now it's something like fifty nine to

0:23:49.160 --> 0:23:51.960
<v Speaker 7>sixty percent of people support all illegals, not just the

0:23:52.040 --> 0:23:55.159
<v Speaker 7>violent criminal offenders, but all illegals being deported. That is

0:23:55.240 --> 0:23:58.640
<v Speaker 7>new that the American electorate has consolidated around this issue,

0:23:58.720 --> 0:24:01.520
<v Speaker 7>and they seem to be stuck in a different decade

0:24:01.600 --> 0:24:03.000
<v Speaker 7>and they haven't caught up to this reality.

0:24:03.359 --> 0:24:07.159
<v Speaker 2>The Trump administration keeps saying, if you enter the country illegally,

0:24:07.720 --> 0:24:11.720
<v Speaker 2>by definition, you're a criminal. You've broken our immigration laws,

0:24:11.760 --> 0:24:15.680
<v Speaker 2>so you have to go. Now, let's talk a little

0:24:15.720 --> 0:24:19.840
<v Speaker 2>bit about NATO. It's looking like a major political realignment

0:24:20.000 --> 0:24:22.640
<v Speaker 2>is underway, and it's a win for the Trump administration.

0:24:22.800 --> 0:24:26.480
<v Speaker 2>European countries in the NATO alliance. I've agreed to step

0:24:26.560 --> 0:24:30.400
<v Speaker 2>up their defense spending after President Trump's request that they

0:24:30.520 --> 0:24:34.720
<v Speaker 2>increase the number to five percent of GDP. Here is

0:24:34.960 --> 0:24:37.560
<v Speaker 2>NATO Secretary General Mark Rutter.

0:24:37.800 --> 0:24:41.879
<v Speaker 1>Really europe is now stepping up. Last week I was

0:24:42.040 --> 0:24:44.800
<v Speaker 1>a bit disappointed at Europeans for saying, hey, we also

0:24:44.840 --> 0:24:46.320
<v Speaker 1>have to be at a table, and why are we

0:24:46.440 --> 0:24:49.760
<v Speaker 1>not there? And they're now really starting to dialogue to

0:24:49.800 --> 0:24:52.720
<v Speaker 1>strategize how they can support the peace effort, and that

0:24:52.840 --> 0:24:55.480
<v Speaker 1>is important. By now, we are spending seven hundred billion

0:24:55.520 --> 0:24:58.639
<v Speaker 1>more on the European side of NATO than before President

0:24:58.680 --> 0:25:02.199
<v Speaker 1>Trump came into office. Is absolutely still not enough. We

0:25:02.280 --> 0:25:03.520
<v Speaker 1>have to do much much more.

0:25:04.040 --> 0:25:06.840
<v Speaker 2>It's not enough. We have to do much more. This

0:25:06.880 --> 0:25:11.640
<v Speaker 2>is after they've boosted spending significantly, and it's precisely what

0:25:11.680 --> 0:25:14.160
<v Speaker 2>the US was pushing for. Again, a lot of people

0:25:14.200 --> 0:25:19.880
<v Speaker 2>seem to deliberately misunderstand Donald Trump's strategy, what his goals

0:25:19.880 --> 0:25:22.720
<v Speaker 2>are here. He doesn't want to weaken NATO. He wants

0:25:22.840 --> 0:25:27.919
<v Speaker 2>NATO members to actually spend their money and not have

0:25:28.119 --> 0:25:29.720
<v Speaker 2>just America carrying the load.

0:25:30.040 --> 0:25:33.560
<v Speaker 7>It's a continuation of what he campaigned on even the

0:25:33.560 --> 0:25:35.840
<v Speaker 7>first time, and even before he entered politics, and the

0:25:35.840 --> 0:25:38.200
<v Speaker 7>secretary over there actually has credited Trump in the past

0:25:38.280 --> 0:25:41.159
<v Speaker 7>where he said, you know, nobody ever asked us to

0:25:41.200 --> 0:25:43.480
<v Speaker 7>pay up to our obligations before Trump he did. So

0:25:43.560 --> 0:25:46.320
<v Speaker 7>we're doing it, and some like eight nations were delinquent

0:25:46.440 --> 0:25:48.320
<v Speaker 7>and we're not even meeting their obligations, which at the

0:25:48.320 --> 0:25:49.439
<v Speaker 7>time was two to three percent.

0:25:49.800 --> 0:25:51.200
<v Speaker 4>Now they're raising the obligation.

0:25:51.320 --> 0:25:53.639
<v Speaker 7>This is what Trump advanced and Pete hagg Sith have

0:25:53.720 --> 0:25:56.280
<v Speaker 7>been pushing over that conference and in other venues as well,

0:25:56.440 --> 0:25:59.240
<v Speaker 7>to five percent. And in the sixties that's where it was.

0:25:59.320 --> 0:26:01.960
<v Speaker 7>It was round four a little over four percent that

0:26:02.040 --> 0:26:04.000
<v Speaker 7>you was paying in the wake of the Cold War

0:26:04.320 --> 0:26:06.520
<v Speaker 7>and that era, and now it's down to one to

0:26:06.560 --> 0:26:09.560
<v Speaker 7>two percent. So that is kind of the point eighty

0:26:09.640 --> 0:26:12.480
<v Speaker 7>years post World War two, how long should America be

0:26:12.560 --> 0:26:16.320
<v Speaker 7>the guaranteur of security subsidizing all sorts of other programs

0:26:16.359 --> 0:26:18.520
<v Speaker 7>As a result of that, in Europe as well as

0:26:18.600 --> 0:26:20.760
<v Speaker 7>what are we defending? That was a gedvance speech that

0:26:20.800 --> 0:26:24.159
<v Speaker 7>went viral when they're not even acting like democracies in

0:26:24.200 --> 0:26:26.959
<v Speaker 7>some ways with censorship and counseling elections and all of that.

0:26:27.000 --> 0:26:29.160
<v Speaker 7>So this is a watershed moment and it's a big

0:26:29.200 --> 0:26:30.560
<v Speaker 7>shift from post World War Two.

0:26:30.920 --> 0:26:34.240
<v Speaker 2>I'll be talking with Josh Hammer later in the program

0:26:34.320 --> 0:26:38.359
<v Speaker 2>about that JD Vance speech. I've listened to it a

0:26:38.400 --> 0:26:41.119
<v Speaker 2>couple of times now. Also listened to his full speech

0:26:41.200 --> 0:26:48.560
<v Speaker 2>in Paris a day or so earlier. His clarity is astonishing.

0:26:49.000 --> 0:26:52.920
<v Speaker 2>The way he covered these major points in eighteen nineteen minutes.

0:26:52.960 --> 0:26:54.919
<v Speaker 2>It didn't seem to be looking at any notes, it

0:26:54.920 --> 0:26:58.280
<v Speaker 2>didn't seem to be reading from an auto Q, and

0:26:58.400 --> 0:27:02.680
<v Speaker 2>it was just Chris, it's all clear where the US stands,

0:27:02.760 --> 0:27:06.800
<v Speaker 2>where its values are, and what it expects from Europe.

0:27:07.680 --> 0:27:10.720
<v Speaker 2>He wasn't necessarily making demands though kosher. He was just

0:27:10.800 --> 0:27:14.760
<v Speaker 2>telling them this is happening under your watch, and it's

0:27:16.359 --> 0:27:20.280
<v Speaker 2>it's disturbing, especially when he was talking about the suppression

0:27:20.320 --> 0:27:25.400
<v Speaker 2>of free speech and the way the concerns of everyday

0:27:25.480 --> 0:27:27.320
<v Speaker 2>citizens have been disregarded.

0:27:27.920 --> 0:27:29.159
<v Speaker 4>And that's the other piece of it.

0:27:29.200 --> 0:27:30.760
<v Speaker 7>So part of it is the first layer is a

0:27:30.840 --> 0:27:34.600
<v Speaker 7>spending and having some sort of level playing field in

0:27:34.680 --> 0:27:36.520
<v Speaker 7>terms of spending obligations.

0:27:36.000 --> 0:27:36.600
<v Speaker 4>As we discussed.

0:27:36.600 --> 0:27:38.880
<v Speaker 7>But the second thing is much deeper, which is that

0:27:38.880 --> 0:27:42.000
<v Speaker 7>that the shared alliance between European societies and American societies

0:27:42.040 --> 0:27:44.760
<v Speaker 7>post World War two, was that some of these tenets

0:27:44.800 --> 0:27:47.720
<v Speaker 7>of free societies, freedom of speech and other issues that

0:27:47.760 --> 0:27:49.800
<v Speaker 7>he raised, and if they're no longer abiding by that,

0:27:50.200 --> 0:27:52.200
<v Speaker 7>then his point is that's almost like a double whammy,

0:27:52.280 --> 0:27:55.080
<v Speaker 7>that we're overpaying for your security and we're paying to

0:27:55.119 --> 0:27:57.440
<v Speaker 7>defend a society that's kind of lost its way in

0:27:57.520 --> 0:27:58.920
<v Speaker 7>terms of censoring its own citizens.

0:27:58.920 --> 0:28:00.359
<v Speaker 4>And you're right, he did not mince words.

0:28:00.359 --> 0:28:03.760
<v Speaker 2>He was about a blunt He was blunt, but it

0:28:03.920 --> 0:28:06.119
<v Speaker 2>was a message that they need to hear. And it's

0:28:06.160 --> 0:28:09.800
<v Speaker 2>a message that we've spoken about on this program. I

0:28:09.840 --> 0:28:12.040
<v Speaker 2>have Douglas Murray on every week. He wrote it not

0:28:12.160 --> 0:28:15.080
<v Speaker 2>about a decade ago, about the strange death of Europe.

0:28:15.359 --> 0:28:19.000
<v Speaker 2>This is a phenomenon that has been commented on by

0:28:20.240 --> 0:28:24.240
<v Speaker 2>intellectuals brave enough to state the obvious, and yet the

0:28:24.359 --> 0:28:30.040
<v Speaker 2>Europeans were just appalled or shocked that anybody would dare

0:28:30.080 --> 0:28:31.760
<v Speaker 2>speak these home truths to them.

0:28:32.119 --> 0:28:34.480
<v Speaker 7>It's a new d And that's also the difference between

0:28:34.680 --> 0:28:38.760
<v Speaker 7>Trump forty seven versus forty five. Everybody around him really

0:28:38.840 --> 0:28:41.320
<v Speaker 7>is singing from the same song sheet, and they genuinely

0:28:41.360 --> 0:28:45.920
<v Speaker 7>believe in that vision. The populist America first worldview and

0:28:45.960 --> 0:28:48.160
<v Speaker 7>that's why they can speak with such clarity, whereas last

0:28:48.160 --> 0:28:51.280
<v Speaker 7>time he was sort of battling people internally and then

0:28:51.280 --> 0:28:53.720
<v Speaker 7>the message that would be communicated externally wasn't always ALIGNE.

0:28:53.760 --> 0:28:54.280
<v Speaker 4>The weird is.

0:28:54.280 --> 0:28:58.160
<v Speaker 2>Now and he's getting his people thus far through so

0:28:58.160 --> 0:29:02.320
<v Speaker 2>he's had Toulsi now RFK Junior Cash Patel is one

0:29:02.360 --> 0:29:05.440
<v Speaker 2>of the big ones that were waiting for a vote there.

0:29:05.960 --> 0:29:10.240
<v Speaker 2>But how do you see that administration coming together? Because

0:29:10.320 --> 0:29:13.960
<v Speaker 2>it is very different from that first Trump term where

0:29:14.480 --> 0:29:20.000
<v Speaker 2>he almost was prioritizing DC experience over loyalty over competence.

0:29:20.520 --> 0:29:25.479
<v Speaker 2>They weren't necessarily his people and it showed because there

0:29:25.560 --> 0:29:28.920
<v Speaker 2>was a lot of hunity and disloyalty there. How do

0:29:28.960 --> 0:29:31.000
<v Speaker 2>you see this going? I know it's only been four weeks,

0:29:31.040 --> 0:29:37.240
<v Speaker 2>but it seems to be a very systematic methodonical approach.

0:29:37.280 --> 0:29:40.400
<v Speaker 2>He's had to getting his people into key positions one.

0:29:40.320 --> 0:29:42.960
<v Speaker 7>Hundred percent like Trump two point zero seems like night

0:29:43.000 --> 0:29:45.080
<v Speaker 7>and day compared to one DOTO where there you know he.

0:29:45.120 --> 0:29:47.960
<v Speaker 4>Was experienced in other realms. What's so new to DC?

0:29:48.160 --> 0:29:50.000
<v Speaker 7>And that was so evident where he was relying on

0:29:50.040 --> 0:29:52.640
<v Speaker 7>recommendations for other people and didn't really know what he

0:29:52.680 --> 0:29:55.440
<v Speaker 7>was doing in terms of personnel. He's mentioned that himself

0:29:55.720 --> 0:29:58.480
<v Speaker 7>versus now, I feel like that whole four year term

0:29:58.600 --> 0:30:01.400
<v Speaker 7>and the amount of heat he took officially and unofficially,

0:30:01.440 --> 0:30:04.160
<v Speaker 7>and then what happened in twenty twenty and the intervening

0:30:04.160 --> 0:30:06.960
<v Speaker 7>four years has been a huge litmus test for who

0:30:07.080 --> 0:30:11.880
<v Speaker 7>is truly MAGA populist, pro Trump, pro that America First agenda,

0:30:11.920 --> 0:30:14.760
<v Speaker 7>and who isn't. And it's been very clarifying eight years,

0:30:15.120 --> 0:30:18.320
<v Speaker 7>which has allowed him to really identify the right people

0:30:18.400 --> 0:30:20.520
<v Speaker 7>this time, and he just didn't have that benefit last time.

0:30:20.520 --> 0:30:22.440
<v Speaker 4>And we're seeing that with the pigs.

0:30:22.240 --> 0:30:27.640
<v Speaker 2>And House almost got rid of the rhinos, if you

0:30:27.680 --> 0:30:31.520
<v Speaker 2>want to call them Republican name only. The GOP is

0:30:31.640 --> 0:30:34.280
<v Speaker 2>now Trump's party. There's a few still hanging on you,

0:30:34.360 --> 0:30:37.480
<v Speaker 2>Mitch McConnell's and a few others. Moving along, let's look

0:30:37.520 --> 0:30:40.760
<v Speaker 2>at how a CNN host not only refuses to fact

0:30:40.880 --> 0:30:46.280
<v Speaker 2>check obvious, verifiable lies from Democrat Amy KLOVICHA, but she

0:30:46.640 --> 0:30:48.480
<v Speaker 2>reinforces those lies.

0:30:48.480 --> 0:30:52.000
<v Speaker 14>Two trillion dollars in tax cuts to the wealthiest and

0:30:52.120 --> 0:30:56.160
<v Speaker 14>paying for it by cuts to cancer research at NIH,

0:30:56.440 --> 0:30:59.880
<v Speaker 14>something that has bipartisan support for years and years, or

0:31:00.320 --> 0:31:01.440
<v Speaker 14>stopping headstart.

0:31:01.560 --> 0:31:06.720
<v Speaker 4>But people they our protect our nuclear stockpile.

0:31:07.080 --> 0:31:09.240
<v Speaker 14>I know they are, But what I'm saying is, at

0:31:09.240 --> 0:31:11.240
<v Speaker 14>some point the pressure is on them.

0:31:11.720 --> 0:31:16.400
<v Speaker 2>That type of hyperbole and scare mongering is just not working.

0:31:16.520 --> 0:31:17.760
<v Speaker 2>And the Poles are telling us that.

0:31:18.320 --> 0:31:20.800
<v Speaker 7>Indeed, it's kind of like ac and immigration, like we

0:31:20.840 --> 0:31:23.160
<v Speaker 7>talked about that, the public sentiment has shifted all the

0:31:23.200 --> 0:31:25.640
<v Speaker 7>way over and these folks don't seem to have caught

0:31:25.760 --> 0:31:28.400
<v Speaker 7>up where these tactics used to work. Where you anytime

0:31:28.440 --> 0:31:31.840
<v Speaker 7>anybody wants to talk about cutting spending thirty two plus

0:31:31.840 --> 0:31:34.120
<v Speaker 7>trillion dollars in debt, we have to do it. You

0:31:34.400 --> 0:31:37.440
<v Speaker 7>leap immediately to receiving children from malaria in Africa. We're

0:31:37.440 --> 0:31:41.480
<v Speaker 7>doing cancer research, We're helping underprivileged kids get a head

0:31:41.480 --> 0:31:43.680
<v Speaker 7>start in education. Like it's easy to point to those

0:31:43.720 --> 0:31:45.720
<v Speaker 7>things and make the other side like the big bad

0:31:45.880 --> 0:31:47.360
<v Speaker 7>bogeyman that's taking money away.

0:31:47.680 --> 0:31:49.880
<v Speaker 4>It doesn't work anymore. And the way they're doing.

0:31:49.640 --> 0:31:51.920
<v Speaker 7>It with doge and just putting out the receipts as

0:31:51.920 --> 0:31:54.240
<v Speaker 7>they say, of how much waste, fraud and abuse is happening.

0:31:54.480 --> 0:31:57.360
<v Speaker 7>Everybody's seeing it. It's disseminated all over social media. And

0:31:57.400 --> 0:31:59.520
<v Speaker 7>then these tactics I think are going to fall flat.

0:31:59.560 --> 0:32:01.239
<v Speaker 7>But that's the only playbook they know, so they're going

0:32:01.280 --> 0:32:01.880
<v Speaker 7>to keep doing it.

0:32:01.920 --> 0:32:05.320
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely, and the worthwhile programs, the ones that do enjoy

0:32:05.360 --> 0:32:08.600
<v Speaker 2>public support, while they're going to be absorbed into other parts,

0:32:08.800 --> 0:32:12.120
<v Speaker 2>you don't need to have us AID in existence to

0:32:12.760 --> 0:32:16.760
<v Speaker 2>devote funds to those worthy projects. Kosha Kata, thank you

0:32:16.800 --> 0:32:19.240
<v Speaker 2>so much for your time. Tonight, still to come, we'll

0:32:19.240 --> 0:32:22.800
<v Speaker 2>look at the disturbing crackdown on free expression in Europe

0:32:23.000 --> 0:32:26.720
<v Speaker 2>and the latest from the US, including Jerry Seinfeld's message

0:32:26.760 --> 0:32:41.880
<v Speaker 2>to pro Palestinian supporters. Josh Hammer is up next. Welcome back. Now,

0:32:41.960 --> 0:32:45.080
<v Speaker 2>let's have a little trip down memory lane to Donald

0:32:45.120 --> 0:32:49.200
<v Speaker 2>Trump's first term when he warned the Germans about becoming

0:32:49.480 --> 0:32:51.440
<v Speaker 2>too reliant on Russian energy.

0:32:51.840 --> 0:32:57.440
<v Speaker 10>Germany will become totally dependent on Russian energy if it

0:32:57.480 --> 0:33:03.840
<v Speaker 10>does not immediately change course. Here in the Western hemisphere.

0:33:04.400 --> 0:33:10.480
<v Speaker 10>We are committed to maintaining our independence from the encroachment

0:33:11.440 --> 0:33:14.200
<v Speaker 10>of expandist foreign powers.

0:33:14.880 --> 0:33:18.800
<v Speaker 2>The German contingent thought that was hilarious. And the man

0:33:18.880 --> 0:33:21.960
<v Speaker 2>you can see sitting at the front there laughing his

0:33:22.040 --> 0:33:27.360
<v Speaker 2>silly little head off, is Christophe Husen laughing and thinking

0:33:27.400 --> 0:33:29.720
<v Speaker 2>it was all one big, fat joke. Now remember him,

0:33:29.720 --> 0:33:32.320
<v Speaker 2>because I'm going to come back to him. And as

0:33:32.360 --> 0:33:36.920
<v Speaker 2>you know, Trump was right. Germany's dependence on Russian energy

0:33:37.000 --> 0:33:40.760
<v Speaker 2>has been disastrous for the nation in recent years. But

0:33:40.800 --> 0:33:43.200
<v Speaker 2>do you think that Germans have learned to listen to

0:33:43.240 --> 0:33:48.080
<v Speaker 2>good advice? No. When jd Vance gave a groundbreaking speech

0:33:48.080 --> 0:33:51.040
<v Speaker 2>in Munich last week about the biggest threats to Europe

0:33:51.320 --> 0:33:54.560
<v Speaker 2>coming from within. When he warned them about the sinister

0:33:54.600 --> 0:33:59.040
<v Speaker 2>suppression of free speech in European countries, the growing anti

0:33:59.080 --> 0:34:02.760
<v Speaker 2>democracies sent among the elite, and the manner in which

0:34:02.800 --> 0:34:07.080
<v Speaker 2>they have allowed millions of unvetted migrants to flooding, well,

0:34:07.120 --> 0:34:11.040
<v Speaker 2>the Germans were again aghast. You can almost hear the

0:34:11.120 --> 0:34:13.280
<v Speaker 2>gasps as Jedi Van speaks.

0:34:13.800 --> 0:34:16.880
<v Speaker 15>No voter on this continent went to the ballot box

0:34:16.960 --> 0:34:21.160
<v Speaker 15>to open the floodgates to millions of unvetted immigrants.

0:34:21.760 --> 0:34:24.680
<v Speaker 3>But you know what they did vote for. In England they.

0:34:24.680 --> 0:34:28.239
<v Speaker 15>Voted for Brexit, and agree or disagree, they voted for it,

0:34:28.840 --> 0:34:30.920
<v Speaker 15>and more and more all over Europe they're voting for

0:34:31.000 --> 0:34:34.000
<v Speaker 15>political leaders who promised to put an end to out

0:34:34.000 --> 0:34:35.000
<v Speaker 15>of control migration.

0:34:35.360 --> 0:34:38.240
<v Speaker 2>And you guess that among the most appalled by jdie

0:34:38.280 --> 0:34:42.040
<v Speaker 2>Vanson's speech was this guy who had a little cry

0:34:42.080 --> 0:34:42.560
<v Speaker 2>about it.

0:34:42.920 --> 0:34:45.799
<v Speaker 11>So let us stick to these values, let us not

0:34:45.920 --> 0:34:51.400
<v Speaker 11>reinvent them, but focus on strengthening their consistent application.

0:34:53.000 --> 0:34:55.759
<v Speaker 4>Let me conclude, and this becomes difficult.

0:35:04.280 --> 0:35:07.520
<v Speaker 2>Yes, that's Christophe Hugeson again. And I think think those

0:35:07.640 --> 0:35:11.200
<v Speaker 2>tiers are for his nation or for Europe, which he

0:35:11.320 --> 0:35:14.719
<v Speaker 2>helped damage alongside miss mercle Well, you'd be wrong. The

0:35:14.760 --> 0:35:18.200
<v Speaker 2>tears were for himself because the German diplomat is stepping

0:35:18.239 --> 0:35:22.040
<v Speaker 2>down from his illustrious position as chairman of the Munich

0:35:22.239 --> 0:35:26.600
<v Speaker 2>Security Conference. Joining me now is Newsweek's senior editor at

0:35:26.680 --> 0:35:30.480
<v Speaker 2>large and article three projects in your council, Josh Hammad, Josh,

0:35:30.840 --> 0:35:34.360
<v Speaker 2>the Germans just refused to listen to good advice.

0:35:36.800 --> 0:35:36.960
<v Speaker 3>Read.

0:35:37.000 --> 0:35:38.359
<v Speaker 12>It would not be the first and it's not gonna

0:35:38.360 --> 0:35:40.560
<v Speaker 12>be the last time that the Germans had failed to

0:35:40.640 --> 0:35:44.799
<v Speaker 12>listen to some advice of varying degrees of strength from

0:35:44.840 --> 0:35:49.000
<v Speaker 12>the Americans. I suppose three cheers for JD. Evans, My goodness,

0:35:49.040 --> 0:35:51.440
<v Speaker 12>I mean, that was a barn burner of a speech that,

0:35:51.520 --> 0:35:54.640
<v Speaker 12>frankly is why we wanted Jdvans to be the vice

0:35:54.640 --> 0:35:56.400
<v Speaker 12>President United States, or at least why I wanted him.

0:35:56.440 --> 0:35:56.799
<v Speaker 3>I mean read.

0:35:56.880 --> 0:35:59.680
<v Speaker 12>I wrote an obed column last March titled Vice President JD.

0:35:59.760 --> 0:36:02.640
<v Speaker 12>Van making the case for Jdvans to be Donald Trump's

0:36:02.680 --> 0:36:04.560
<v Speaker 12>running mate. And this is exactly what I thought we

0:36:04.560 --> 0:36:06.439
<v Speaker 12>were going to get. And I am just grinning ear

0:36:06.480 --> 0:36:09.360
<v Speaker 12>to ear, delighted that this is indeed what we are getting.

0:36:09.400 --> 0:36:13.400
<v Speaker 12>Germany is the heart of the European liberal imperium. Brussels,

0:36:13.400 --> 0:36:16.000
<v Speaker 12>Belgium is literally where the European Union is based. I

0:36:16.040 --> 0:36:18.080
<v Speaker 12>know because I've been there, to the building. But Germany

0:36:18.120 --> 0:36:19.960
<v Speaker 12>is the most economically powerful country in the world. So

0:36:19.960 --> 0:36:22.560
<v Speaker 12>to go into the lions, to the most economic powerful

0:36:22.560 --> 0:36:24.879
<v Speaker 12>country in Europe, So to go into the lions down there,

0:36:24.920 --> 0:36:27.360
<v Speaker 12>and to say what he said about free speech, about

0:36:27.440 --> 0:36:31.839
<v Speaker 12>energy independence, about migration from third world Islam as hellholes there.

0:36:32.239 --> 0:36:33.760
<v Speaker 3>Man, that guy has a spine.

0:36:33.800 --> 0:36:35.920
<v Speaker 12>And I just cannot wait to see what Jadavans does

0:36:35.960 --> 0:36:37.839
<v Speaker 12>for the rest of his vice president of tenure, because

0:36:37.840 --> 0:36:39.879
<v Speaker 12>if that is any indication of what is to come,

0:36:39.920 --> 0:36:41.759
<v Speaker 12>we are in for a historic vice presidency.

0:36:44.280 --> 0:36:48.040
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely, and I think after that vice presidency he has

0:36:48.160 --> 0:36:51.480
<v Speaker 2>to be hot favorite to be the forty eighth president

0:36:51.600 --> 0:36:56.719
<v Speaker 2>of the United States, and it would be quite Can

0:36:56.760 --> 0:37:00.960
<v Speaker 2>you just imagine him continuing that Trump agenda got No,

0:37:01.000 --> 0:37:03.359
<v Speaker 2>I'm getting ahead of myself, but I'm thinking about two

0:37:03.440 --> 0:37:07.399
<v Speaker 2>terms for JD Vance and what could be achieved if

0:37:07.400 --> 0:37:12.280
<v Speaker 2>you've got those solid twelve years of meaningful change in America.

0:37:12.360 --> 0:37:16.080
<v Speaker 2>It's it's exciting to think about. But let's stay in

0:37:16.120 --> 0:37:18.480
<v Speaker 2>a Germany for a minute. Let's look at the manner

0:37:18.560 --> 0:37:22.200
<v Speaker 2>in which they are cracking down on free expression, or

0:37:22.239 --> 0:37:24.520
<v Speaker 2>what they call online hate speech.

0:37:24.880 --> 0:37:29.800
<v Speaker 16>Inside six armed officers searched to suspects home, then seized

0:37:29.840 --> 0:37:34.480
<v Speaker 16>his laptop and cell phone. Prosecutors say those electronics may

0:37:34.480 --> 0:37:38.680
<v Speaker 16>have been used to commit a crime, the crime posting

0:37:38.760 --> 0:37:44.840
<v Speaker 16>a racist cartoon online. At the exact same time. Across Germany,

0:37:44.840 --> 0:37:48.360
<v Speaker 16>it's all your mind of a bard. More than fifty

0:37:48.440 --> 0:37:52.080
<v Speaker 16>similar raids played out part of what prosecutors say is

0:37:52.120 --> 0:37:56.360
<v Speaker 16>a coordinated effort to curb online hate speech in Germany.

0:37:56.760 --> 0:37:59.840
<v Speaker 2>Josh, I'd be willing to bet money that many of

0:37:59.840 --> 0:38:04.960
<v Speaker 2>these online posts aren't even races. Given stating facts about

0:38:05.160 --> 0:38:10.040
<v Speaker 2>crime rates and immigration levels is considered hate speech in

0:38:10.080 --> 0:38:14.600
<v Speaker 2>some quarters. But when you watch that, that's precisely what

0:38:14.719 --> 0:38:19.200
<v Speaker 2>jd Vance was talking about, this cracked out on free speech,

0:38:19.360 --> 0:38:24.480
<v Speaker 2>this suppression of citizens. So are concerned about what's happening

0:38:24.520 --> 0:38:25.360
<v Speaker 2>to their country?

0:38:27.239 --> 0:38:30.840
<v Speaker 12>Yeah, I read the country of Germany suppressing free speech.

0:38:30.880 --> 0:38:33.600
<v Speaker 12>What could possibly go wrong? Oh wait, yes, tragically we

0:38:33.680 --> 0:38:38.600
<v Speaker 12>have been down before. But by the way, Margaret Brennan,

0:38:39.200 --> 0:38:42.120
<v Speaker 12>the anchor on CBS is Faced the Nation earlier in

0:38:42.160 --> 0:38:45.120
<v Speaker 12>the same day yesterday while she was talking about how

0:38:45.239 --> 0:38:48.040
<v Speaker 12>there was apparently too much free speech and that caused

0:38:48.080 --> 0:38:50.480
<v Speaker 12>the Holocaust there. So, whether it's Face the Nation or

0:38:50.480 --> 0:38:53.480
<v Speaker 12>whether it's sixty minutes, CBS apparently is all in on

0:38:53.560 --> 0:38:57.439
<v Speaker 12>an anti free speech, censorious agenda. Makes you wonder why

0:38:57.520 --> 0:39:00.880
<v Speaker 12>CBS is actually a distant third in the meanstream media ratings,

0:39:00.880 --> 0:39:03.959
<v Speaker 12>behind NBC and ABC. Frankly, all of their ratings are falling,

0:39:03.960 --> 0:39:06.719
<v Speaker 12>but CBS is dwindling more than more than the others there.

0:39:06.800 --> 0:39:08.880
<v Speaker 12>But the state of free speech all across Europe and

0:39:08.920 --> 0:39:12.600
<v Speaker 12>both the continent and the UK is genuinely appalling right now.

0:39:12.719 --> 0:39:15.319
<v Speaker 12>And you know, the UK in particular really makes me

0:39:15.360 --> 0:39:17.640
<v Speaker 12>want to cry because I'm something of an Anglophile. Actually,

0:39:17.640 --> 0:39:21.160
<v Speaker 12>I love the Anglo American inheritance. I mean Frankly, Britain

0:39:21.200 --> 0:39:23.360
<v Speaker 12>gave the world free speech in many ways there but readog.

0:39:23.400 --> 0:39:25.960
<v Speaker 12>I'll share with you this brief anecdote. So Kiers Starmer

0:39:26.000 --> 0:39:27.799
<v Speaker 12>is the very left wing prime minister right now in

0:39:27.880 --> 0:39:31.279
<v Speaker 12>Westminster in London. It has become pretty common to refer

0:39:31.320 --> 0:39:33.239
<v Speaker 12>to him as two tier here because of his two

0:39:33.280 --> 0:39:35.880
<v Speaker 12>tier system of justice. I actually put that on my

0:39:36.000 --> 0:39:38.719
<v Speaker 12>show and on social media. I had a friend who's

0:39:38.760 --> 0:39:40.440
<v Speaker 12>a lawyer in London read to get a load of this.

0:39:40.640 --> 0:39:42.919
<v Speaker 12>He messaged me and said, Josh, you should take that down.

0:39:43.000 --> 0:39:45.040
<v Speaker 12>I said, what are you talking about? He said, you

0:39:45.080 --> 0:39:47.719
<v Speaker 12>won't believe it. But because of the long arm jurisdiction

0:39:47.840 --> 0:39:50.759
<v Speaker 12>statue that Britain has these days, you could be prosecuted

0:39:50.800 --> 0:39:53.120
<v Speaker 12>for that. For me tweeting here from the United States

0:39:53.200 --> 0:39:55.560
<v Speaker 12>that here Starmer is two tier cure. That's the state

0:39:55.600 --> 0:39:58.480
<v Speaker 12>of so called free speech in the UK. Tragically, in Germany,

0:39:58.480 --> 0:39:59.720
<v Speaker 12>based on what we just saw, I think it's actually

0:39:59.719 --> 0:40:00.000
<v Speaker 12>even worse.

0:40:02.600 --> 0:40:05.279
<v Speaker 2>Now let's go to the US, where the Department of

0:40:05.320 --> 0:40:09.480
<v Speaker 2>Government Efficiency has had a big win in the courts

0:40:09.560 --> 0:40:13.560
<v Speaker 2>against the law fare that the Democrats are launching. I

0:40:13.600 --> 0:40:17.040
<v Speaker 2>know you wrote about this in Newsweek. You wrote about

0:40:17.040 --> 0:40:21.680
<v Speaker 2>this so called judicial resistance movement that are sprung up,

0:40:22.200 --> 0:40:27.120
<v Speaker 2>and you say that these people involved in this may

0:40:27.239 --> 0:40:32.480
<v Speaker 2>think they're acting nobly, but they're in fact acting on unconstitutionally,

0:40:32.760 --> 0:40:35.799
<v Speaker 2>and in the end they're going to be humiliated.

0:40:37.600 --> 0:40:39.799
<v Speaker 12>They're going to be humiliated because they are way out

0:40:39.840 --> 0:40:42.279
<v Speaker 12>of wine and they're way out of line. Because the

0:40:42.320 --> 0:40:45.719
<v Speaker 12>federal government cannot be shut down by the ruling of

0:40:45.760 --> 0:40:48.640
<v Speaker 12>a lone lower court federal judge deep in the battels

0:40:48.640 --> 0:40:51.600
<v Speaker 12>of his chambers in Hawaii or Alaska, or Florida or

0:40:51.640 --> 0:40:54.200
<v Speaker 12>main That is simply not the system of governance that

0:40:54.239 --> 0:40:56.839
<v Speaker 12>our founding fathers here in America set up for us.

0:40:57.120 --> 0:40:59.640
<v Speaker 12>In fact, in an eighteen or four letter that are

0:40:59.719 --> 0:41:02.560
<v Speaker 12>third President Thomas Jefferson wrote to Abigail Adams, the wife

0:41:02.560 --> 0:41:05.200
<v Speaker 12>of John Adams. He famously said in this letter that

0:41:05.280 --> 0:41:07.920
<v Speaker 12>at the time that the judiciary here in America starts

0:41:07.920 --> 0:41:11.160
<v Speaker 12>to decide cases not merely for the litigants before it,

0:41:11.400 --> 0:41:14.239
<v Speaker 12>but purporting to buying the entirety the federal government, that

0:41:14.280 --> 0:41:17.000
<v Speaker 12>would be a despotic branch. Abraham Lincoln took the exact

0:41:17.000 --> 0:41:19.399
<v Speaker 12>same approach. It's simply not the system we have here

0:41:19.440 --> 0:41:22.040
<v Speaker 12>so these so called nation one injunctions have to end.

0:41:22.239 --> 0:41:24.879
<v Speaker 12>That is not part of the judicial power of which

0:41:24.920 --> 0:41:27.239
<v Speaker 12>our Constitution speaks. The United Supreme Court is going to

0:41:27.280 --> 0:41:30.120
<v Speaker 12>have to weigh in here sooner rather than later, thankfully read.

0:41:30.120 --> 0:41:31.960
<v Speaker 12>I actually a pretty optimistic that they will do so.

0:41:32.200 --> 0:41:34.719
<v Speaker 12>Visit a Supreme Court that is well constituted to rule

0:41:34.719 --> 0:41:37.800
<v Speaker 12>correctly when it comes to bread and butter structural separation

0:41:37.920 --> 0:41:41.120
<v Speaker 12>of powers issues. But it's incumbent upon the Trump Department

0:41:41.120 --> 0:41:44.080
<v Speaker 12>of Justice to directly tee up that appeal. Once they

0:41:44.120 --> 0:41:46.200
<v Speaker 12>do so, I think that the Supreme Court will grant it,

0:41:46.200 --> 0:41:47.360
<v Speaker 12>and I think that they will rule correctly.

0:41:49.760 --> 0:41:55.080
<v Speaker 2>Now I covered Tom Hanks's pathetic antiques on Saturday Night Live.

0:41:55.120 --> 0:41:58.160
<v Speaker 2>I don't know how else to describe them. It was

0:41:58.400 --> 0:42:02.839
<v Speaker 2>exceptionally on funny, lacking in any sort of wheat or

0:42:02.880 --> 0:42:07.680
<v Speaker 2>intelligence or humor. And I've got to ask you, Josh,

0:42:08.080 --> 0:42:12.440
<v Speaker 2>why would such a mainstream actor trash his own brand

0:42:12.600 --> 0:42:15.279
<v Speaker 2>in this way. If you're going to tresh your own

0:42:15.360 --> 0:42:19.720
<v Speaker 2>brand and infuriate the majority of the country, then at least,

0:42:20.160 --> 0:42:22.840
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, be interesting, be funny, be clever. In

0:42:22.920 --> 0:42:25.240
<v Speaker 2>some way, this was just lame.

0:42:27.600 --> 0:42:30.160
<v Speaker 12>It really does seem beneath the dignity of Tom Hanks, doesn't.

0:42:30.400 --> 0:42:32.000
<v Speaker 12>I mean, Tom Hanks, once upon a time was a

0:42:32.000 --> 0:42:32.800
<v Speaker 12>brilliant actor.

0:42:33.000 --> 0:42:34.120
<v Speaker 3>I mean you had.

0:42:35.680 --> 0:42:37.600
<v Speaker 12>Maybe not at this point later in his career, but

0:42:37.680 --> 0:42:39.600
<v Speaker 12>you know, look earlier, early in his career. I mean

0:42:39.640 --> 0:42:42.719
<v Speaker 12>Forrest Gum, Philadelphia. I mean, catch me if you can,

0:42:42.760 --> 0:42:44.279
<v Speaker 12>even the Steven Spielberg movie from.

0:42:44.200 --> 0:42:44.759
<v Speaker 3>The early arts.

0:42:44.760 --> 0:42:46.120
<v Speaker 12>I mean, Tom Hanks has been in a lot of

0:42:46.160 --> 0:42:48.759
<v Speaker 12>classics going back twenty five thirty years. You know, once

0:42:48.800 --> 0:42:51.000
<v Speaker 12>upon a time, it's probably hard for this audience to leave.

0:42:51.040 --> 0:42:53.480
<v Speaker 12>Once upon a time, Saturday night life here in America

0:42:53.640 --> 0:42:55.359
<v Speaker 12>was actually pretty funny. I mean, once upon a time

0:42:55.400 --> 0:42:58.319
<v Speaker 12>we had people like Chris Farley, we had actually genuinely

0:42:58.360 --> 0:43:00.320
<v Speaker 12>talented comedians. I mean, to this day, a lot of

0:43:00.360 --> 0:43:02.440
<v Speaker 12>the great stand up comments here in America really kind

0:43:02.440 --> 0:43:04.640
<v Speaker 12>of came up through the ranks of Saturday Night Live.

0:43:04.680 --> 0:43:07.040
<v Speaker 12>But it has been a very, very long time since

0:43:07.080 --> 0:43:10.680
<v Speaker 12>they have attracted anything remotely resembling high caliber comic talents.

0:43:10.680 --> 0:43:12.279
<v Speaker 12>I couldn't even tell you the last time that I

0:43:12.360 --> 0:43:15.320
<v Speaker 12>tuned in frankly on a Saturday evening, and I'm particularly

0:43:15.480 --> 0:43:17.359
<v Speaker 12>very pleased that I happened to miss this dreadful Tom

0:43:17.360 --> 0:43:18.120
<v Speaker 12>Hanks's performance.

0:43:20.480 --> 0:43:25.480
<v Speaker 2>I was just embarrassing. I was embarrassed for him watching it.

0:43:25.520 --> 0:43:29.120
<v Speaker 2>That's how bad it was. Now, I love you your

0:43:29.200 --> 0:43:33.759
<v Speaker 2>take on Jerry Seinfeld not giving us stuff about offending

0:43:33.840 --> 0:43:37.279
<v Speaker 2>the pro Palestinian anti Israeli movement. I have a look

0:43:37.280 --> 0:43:39.200
<v Speaker 2>at this, Jerry, Can I get a selfie?

0:43:39.640 --> 0:43:39.920
<v Speaker 7>Sure?

0:43:40.800 --> 0:43:43.840
<v Speaker 4>Three Palestine?

0:43:44.200 --> 0:43:44.879
<v Speaker 7>I don't care about.

0:43:47.360 --> 0:43:49.840
<v Speaker 2>That's right now. That's how you do it, Tom Hanks.

0:43:49.880 --> 0:43:51.880
<v Speaker 2>If you're going to be controversial, at least, I don't know,

0:43:52.000 --> 0:43:54.880
<v Speaker 2>be interesting and a little bit funny. I'd imagine Josh

0:43:55.000 --> 0:43:58.680
<v Speaker 2>is copying all sorts of flak for that. But Daddy cares.

0:44:00.239 --> 0:44:00.839
<v Speaker 3>He doesn't care.

0:44:00.880 --> 0:44:03.360
<v Speaker 12>And kudos to Jerry Seinfeld for taking a righteous and

0:44:03.400 --> 0:44:06.640
<v Speaker 12>correct stand on this particular issue. I mean, you know,

0:44:07.040 --> 0:44:09.520
<v Speaker 12>he was trending this direction for years. Jerry Seinfeld, many

0:44:09.560 --> 0:44:12.000
<v Speaker 12>years ago. I first remember him speaking out against wol

0:44:12.080 --> 0:44:15.640
<v Speaker 12>can't cancel culture on American college campuses. This is clearly

0:44:15.680 --> 0:44:17.799
<v Speaker 12>an issue that he cares about. He visited Israel after

0:44:17.800 --> 0:44:20.399
<v Speaker 12>October seventh. There was actually he's a diehard New York

0:44:20.400 --> 0:44:22.359
<v Speaker 12>Mets baseball fan. There was actually a clip of Jerry

0:44:22.360 --> 0:44:24.680
<v Speaker 12>Seinfeld that a Mets game back and during baseball season

0:44:24.680 --> 0:44:26.400
<v Speaker 12>a few months ago here in the US, and they

0:44:26.440 --> 0:44:28.200
<v Speaker 12>kind of zoomed in on him and he was wearing

0:44:28.239 --> 0:44:30.279
<v Speaker 12>his Mets uniform and he said, let's go Mets, and

0:44:30.360 --> 0:44:32.799
<v Speaker 12>let's go IDF. So he's been very public about this

0:44:32.880 --> 0:44:35.360
<v Speaker 12>for a while now, but you know, this son of

0:44:35.360 --> 0:44:37.359
<v Speaker 12>a you know what here on camera. That guy had

0:44:37.360 --> 0:44:39.520
<v Speaker 12>that coming, frankly, and good for Jerry Seinfeld for not

0:44:39.600 --> 0:44:41.239
<v Speaker 12>backing away in the heat of the moment there.

0:44:41.400 --> 0:44:43.000
<v Speaker 3>I hope that he only doubles down from here. I

0:44:43.000 --> 0:44:43.439
<v Speaker 3>think he will.

0:44:43.480 --> 0:44:47.440
<v Speaker 2>Actually, I don't know if you're away, but he did

0:44:47.520 --> 0:44:50.879
<v Speaker 2>a tour of Australia last year and there were these

0:44:50.960 --> 0:44:54.719
<v Speaker 2>hecklers in the crowd, always these pro Palestinian plants who

0:44:55.640 --> 0:44:59.360
<v Speaker 2>halfway through the show would start shouting Free Palestine and

0:44:59.440 --> 0:45:01.719
<v Speaker 2>river to this or whatever else they were shouting. And

0:45:02.400 --> 0:45:06.279
<v Speaker 2>he handled it again beautifully. He just mocked them. He

0:45:06.840 --> 0:45:09.600
<v Speaker 2>went at them. He did not back away, didn't try

0:45:09.640 --> 0:45:13.279
<v Speaker 2>to appease, he didn't try to ignore them. He made

0:45:13.360 --> 0:45:15.440
<v Speaker 2>them part of the show. And I thought it was

0:45:15.560 --> 0:45:18.840
<v Speaker 2>really quite effective. He did that in our multiple cities

0:45:18.840 --> 0:45:22.440
<v Speaker 2>in Australia. Before you go, we've seen polling showing how

0:45:22.480 --> 0:45:25.719
<v Speaker 2>popular Donald Trump's key policies are. We've been discussing that

0:45:25.800 --> 0:45:30.759
<v Speaker 2>earlier this week, but it's not just the policies that

0:45:30.800 --> 0:45:35.360
<v Speaker 2>are popular. Despite the overwhelming negative publicity the president receives,

0:45:35.400 --> 0:45:40.319
<v Speaker 2>his own popularity is on the rise. This latest poll

0:45:40.400 --> 0:45:43.719
<v Speaker 2>shows fifty five percent approve of him. Now that's a

0:45:44.239 --> 0:45:48.839
<v Speaker 2>decent approval rating. Forty three percent disapprove. Josh, that's a

0:45:48.880 --> 0:45:51.480
<v Speaker 2>net gain of twelve percent for the president.

0:45:53.120 --> 0:45:54.719
<v Speaker 3>It's actually even more than that. You go back to

0:45:54.719 --> 0:45:55.399
<v Speaker 3>his first term.

0:45:55.400 --> 0:45:57.719
<v Speaker 12>Donald Trump spent the majority of his first term with

0:45:57.760 --> 0:46:00.360
<v Speaker 12>an underwater approval reading by the way, so Debraco. So

0:46:00.360 --> 0:46:02.520
<v Speaker 12>it's not like Donald Trump had anything unique. Joe Biden

0:46:02.560 --> 0:46:05.240
<v Speaker 12>definitely had an underwater approval right in there. So, I mean, frankly,

0:46:05.280 --> 0:46:06.759
<v Speaker 12>you know, Americans have been so fed up with the

0:46:06.800 --> 0:46:09.040
<v Speaker 12>government for so long that to have any president, frankly

0:46:09.120 --> 0:46:11.320
<v Speaker 12>with an above water approval right in there, you probably

0:46:11.320 --> 0:46:13.239
<v Speaker 12>have to go back to the very early days of

0:46:13.280 --> 0:46:15.600
<v Speaker 12>the Barack Obama administration before he went totally off the

0:46:15.680 --> 0:46:17.319
<v Speaker 12>rails if I had a guess, but it's been it's

0:46:17.360 --> 0:46:19.279
<v Speaker 12>been a hot minute, so to speak, there and the

0:46:19.320 --> 0:46:21.920
<v Speaker 12>reason for that is because Donald Trump leads what I

0:46:22.000 --> 0:46:24.719
<v Speaker 12>like to refer to as a Coalition of the common sense.

0:46:24.760 --> 0:46:27.680
<v Speaker 12>It is really not a particularly partisan movement here. You

0:46:27.880 --> 0:46:31.560
<v Speaker 12>you have ex Democrats like RFK Junior, like Tulci gabber.

0:46:31.800 --> 0:46:34.160
<v Speaker 3>It frankly is a coalition of people who are just

0:46:34.400 --> 0:46:35.920
<v Speaker 3>sick of stupid crap.

0:46:36.000 --> 0:46:38.080
<v Speaker 12>I'm sorry to not phrase it more artfully, but that

0:46:38.120 --> 0:46:40.280
<v Speaker 12>really basically is what it is. It is a coalition

0:46:40.280 --> 0:46:42.359
<v Speaker 12>of people that are sick of gender ideology. They are

0:46:42.400 --> 0:46:45.480
<v Speaker 12>sick of this idea of universal values and mass migration

0:46:45.600 --> 0:46:49.200
<v Speaker 12>policy there. They just want normalcy, They want basic common

0:46:49.280 --> 0:46:52.240
<v Speaker 12>sense stuff. Thankfully, Donald Trump came in with a mighty

0:46:52.280 --> 0:46:54.200
<v Speaker 12>vengeance in this magna two point zero second term, and

0:46:54.239 --> 0:46:57.200
<v Speaker 12>he's delivering oodles and oodles of good old fashioned common sense.

0:46:59.360 --> 0:47:02.279
<v Speaker 2>Josh, thank you so much for your time tonight. And

0:47:02.400 --> 0:47:05.960
<v Speaker 2>that's it for me. I'll see you tomorrow night at eleven.

0:47:06.440 --> 0:47:08.840
<v Speaker 2>Don't go anywhere. Newsnight is up next.
