0:00:08.360 --> 0:00:10.760
<v Speaker 2>Good evening and welcome to the Rita Panahe Show.

0:00:10.840 --> 0:00:15.680
<v Speaker 3>Coming up tonight, The PM's lavish beach house raises eyebrows.

0:00:15.120 --> 0:00:17.760
<v Speaker 2>And questions about his political judgment.

0:00:18.200 --> 0:00:23.919
<v Speaker 3>Another renewable project in doubt as companies abandoned their construction plans.

0:00:23.960 --> 0:00:26.200
<v Speaker 2>I'll speak to Professor in Pimer about that.

0:00:26.880 --> 0:00:30.560
<v Speaker 3>A leading international security expert joins me with a warning

0:00:30.640 --> 0:00:33.920
<v Speaker 3>about the biggest danger facing the West today.

0:00:34.560 --> 0:00:37.240
<v Speaker 2>Also on the program tonight, Josh Hammer.

0:00:36.960 --> 0:00:40.840
<v Speaker 3>Would be latest from the US, including a plagiarism scandal

0:00:41.159 --> 0:00:44.720
<v Speaker 3>for Kamala Harris and talking about Left He's losing it.

0:00:44.880 --> 0:00:49.800
<v Speaker 3>A bumper star studded edition tonight featuring a bold face

0:00:50.040 --> 0:00:52.120
<v Speaker 3>liar here actress Jennifer Garner.

0:00:53.360 --> 0:00:55.760
<v Speaker 4>Guy, is there anything sexier than a man who's like

0:00:56.360 --> 0:00:57.920
<v Speaker 4>Mentra Kamala Who.

0:01:00.200 --> 0:01:02.000
<v Speaker 2>Start with news from the Herald Sun.

0:01:02.160 --> 0:01:06.240
<v Speaker 3>Thousands of Victorian Department of Justice and Community Safety staff

0:01:06.319 --> 0:01:10.640
<v Speaker 3>are being forced to undertake taxpay funded white privileged training

0:01:11.200 --> 0:01:15.759
<v Speaker 3>in preparation for a government treaty with the state's aboriginal population.

0:01:15.920 --> 0:01:20.839
<v Speaker 3>The divisive and highly questionable material has caused an understandable

0:01:20.840 --> 0:01:25.479
<v Speaker 3>backlash amongst some staff. Opposition Justice spokesman Brad Batton has.

0:01:25.400 --> 0:01:26.959
<v Speaker 2>Called for the removal of.

0:01:26.880 --> 0:01:30.600
<v Speaker 3>The white Privileged module from the state funded training program.

0:01:30.680 --> 0:01:34.520
<v Speaker 3>He told the Herald Son workplace safety is essential and

0:01:34.560 --> 0:01:38.120
<v Speaker 3>to have training that discriminates on race just to deliver

0:01:38.240 --> 0:01:42.520
<v Speaker 3>on a WOK agenda is disgraceful. They must withdraw this

0:01:42.680 --> 0:01:46.399
<v Speaker 3>module as a matter of urgency. But Premier Center Alan

0:01:46.600 --> 0:01:50.600
<v Speaker 3>has expressed her support for the training. Well, of course

0:01:50.840 --> 0:01:53.240
<v Speaker 3>she has. That's no surprises. They're joining me now for

0:01:53.320 --> 0:01:56.600
<v Speaker 3>more on This is News Corps senior writer and columnist

0:01:56.720 --> 0:02:02.480
<v Speaker 3>Patrick Carlin and Patrick as a why privilege heterosexual sismle,

0:02:02.560 --> 0:02:04.840
<v Speaker 3>I don't know if you're entitled to have an opinion

0:02:04.880 --> 0:02:07.200
<v Speaker 3>on this, but please try to offer one.

0:02:07.240 --> 0:02:08.800
<v Speaker 5>Well, I can understand why a lot of people do

0:02:08.880 --> 0:02:12.040
<v Speaker 5>have an opinion on it. Look at divides people. It

0:02:12.080 --> 0:02:15.600
<v Speaker 5>basically divides people by race. It says that you have

0:02:15.680 --> 0:02:18.840
<v Speaker 5>white people and you have non white people. And look,

0:02:18.880 --> 0:02:21.640
<v Speaker 5>it's activism dressed up as workplace reform, isn't it. I mean,

0:02:21.639 --> 0:02:23.720
<v Speaker 5>it's one thing for an activist to talk about white

0:02:23.760 --> 0:02:27.680
<v Speaker 5>privilege or structural racism and so on, but this is

0:02:27.720 --> 0:02:31.680
<v Speaker 5>actually in a training module. It is basically imposing an

0:02:31.720 --> 0:02:34.960
<v Speaker 5>abstraction as a fact, and a lot of people don't

0:02:35.040 --> 0:02:37.480
<v Speaker 5>like that. They might not understand what it actually implies,

0:02:37.680 --> 0:02:39.679
<v Speaker 5>but they know to be suspicious of it, don't they.

0:02:40.000 --> 0:02:40.160
<v Speaker 6>Oh?

0:02:40.200 --> 0:02:46.359
<v Speaker 3>Absolutely, And it is activism that becomes normalized in the workplace,

0:02:46.400 --> 0:02:48.640
<v Speaker 3>and then it just becomes something that you can't even

0:02:48.760 --> 0:02:52.200
<v Speaker 3>question because then you're the one who will be targeted.

0:02:52.440 --> 0:02:57.040
<v Speaker 3>The inclusion and tolerance does not stretch to mainstream opinions

0:02:57.160 --> 0:02:59.360
<v Speaker 3>like we're all the same, should all be treated the same?

0:02:59.480 --> 0:03:02.480
<v Speaker 5>That's right. Look, I think it's a divide more than unite.

0:03:02.520 --> 0:03:05.040
<v Speaker 5>Oh it doesn't. Actually, it won't do what it sets

0:03:05.040 --> 0:03:06.720
<v Speaker 5>out to do. It actually pushes back.

0:03:07.120 --> 0:03:11.359
<v Speaker 3>Well, none of these DEI diversity, equity inclusion policies are

0:03:11.360 --> 0:03:14.560
<v Speaker 3>really what they claim to be because they do divide

0:03:14.600 --> 0:03:18.320
<v Speaker 3>us rather than unite. Now let's go to the act.

0:03:18.560 --> 0:03:24.520
<v Speaker 3>A Greens candidate is under fire after he made some

0:03:24.720 --> 0:03:28.840
<v Speaker 3>ridiculous remarks posted to social media that he thinks we

0:03:28.880 --> 0:03:32.520
<v Speaker 3>should f in kill politicians, send them to the Hague

0:03:32.560 --> 0:03:36.120
<v Speaker 3>and hang them in the street. Another post read f

0:03:36.520 --> 0:03:38.720
<v Speaker 3>Israel and their genocide or regime.

0:03:38.800 --> 0:03:40.040
<v Speaker 2>I don't give an.

0:03:40.240 --> 0:03:44.160
<v Speaker 3>Shiit how many of their occupying forces die.

0:03:44.640 --> 0:03:47.400
<v Speaker 2>This is an addition to another.

0:03:47.080 --> 0:03:50.360
<v Speaker 3>Controversy Cruise was embroiled in where he was forced to

0:03:50.400 --> 0:03:54.880
<v Speaker 3>clarify a separate post on x where he purportedly suggested

0:03:54.920 --> 0:03:57.200
<v Speaker 3>that Hezbullah shouldn't be listed.

0:03:56.880 --> 0:03:58.760
<v Speaker 2>As a terrorist organization.

0:03:58.920 --> 0:04:03.400
<v Speaker 3>These posts are well, they're astonishing and they're not because

0:04:03.400 --> 0:04:06.600
<v Speaker 3>we expect this sort of stuff from the Greens these days.

0:04:08.600 --> 0:04:11.720
<v Speaker 2>Could he have been hacked? Is there an explanation for

0:04:11.760 --> 0:04:12.880
<v Speaker 2>this that's innocent?

0:04:13.080 --> 0:04:14.840
<v Speaker 5>It doesn't sound like it look it sounds like the

0:04:14.840 --> 0:04:17.240
<v Speaker 5>perfect Greens candidate, as you were saying. I mean, he's

0:04:17.480 --> 0:04:22.720
<v Speaker 5>stoking anti semitism, he's hateful, and he's very undergraduate. Even

0:04:22.760 --> 0:04:25.880
<v Speaker 5>the language. It sounds like a year nine after having

0:04:25.880 --> 0:04:28.520
<v Speaker 5>two beers or something and getting angry about trying to

0:04:28.520 --> 0:04:31.479
<v Speaker 5>save the world. It's ludicrous this stuff and the fact

0:04:31.520 --> 0:04:33.960
<v Speaker 5>he hasn't been disendorsed. Is it real worry? In the

0:04:33.960 --> 0:04:37.640
<v Speaker 5>Act where the Greens actually share power, they've got three

0:04:37.640 --> 0:04:38.560
<v Speaker 5>cabinet ministers.

0:04:38.880 --> 0:04:42.080
<v Speaker 3>Well, the Act is a different world, and I think

0:04:42.120 --> 0:04:45.920
<v Speaker 3>the referendum showed us that the entire country said no

0:04:46.160 --> 0:04:47.400
<v Speaker 3>and said it pretty strongly.

0:04:47.920 --> 0:04:50.760
<v Speaker 2>The Act different parallel universe.

0:04:50.839 --> 0:04:54.600
<v Speaker 3>They were all for it very strongly. Now Anthony Albernizi

0:04:54.760 --> 0:04:58.520
<v Speaker 3>has just bought a four point three million dollar beach

0:04:58.560 --> 0:05:04.120
<v Speaker 3>front holiday home in Copah Kabana, New South Welt, Central Coast.

0:05:04.160 --> 0:05:07.960
<v Speaker 3>I like sound of that Copa Kabana sounds like it's

0:05:07.960 --> 0:05:11.400
<v Speaker 3>in South America. This is a move that I don't

0:05:11.440 --> 0:05:14.160
<v Speaker 3>think is going to sit well with a lot of Australians. Patrick,

0:05:14.240 --> 0:05:18.680
<v Speaker 3>the cost of living crisis, housing crisis. Really is this

0:05:18.760 --> 0:05:22.440
<v Speaker 3>a smart move for a prime minister to be making

0:05:23.200 --> 0:05:26.440
<v Speaker 3>right now leading up to an election, especially because it's

0:05:26.480 --> 0:05:30.800
<v Speaker 3>a holiday home. Certainly as prime minister, he's not going

0:05:30.839 --> 0:05:31.839
<v Speaker 3>to be able to live there.

0:05:32.040 --> 0:05:33.560
<v Speaker 5>No, that's right, and look at to what you've been

0:05:33.560 --> 0:05:39.839
<v Speaker 5>described today as Albanese's Hawaii moment. The timing is terrible.

0:05:40.839 --> 0:05:43.000
<v Speaker 5>You're going to cost him living crisis, as you were saying,

0:05:44.040 --> 0:05:47.280
<v Speaker 5>he hasn't always. It makes him an easy target too

0:05:47.320 --> 0:05:49.160
<v Speaker 5>for the opposition to say, well, are you about to

0:05:49.279 --> 0:05:51.440
<v Speaker 5>check out? There are times when you look like you've

0:05:51.480 --> 0:05:55.120
<v Speaker 5>checked out during being prime minister? Is this actually a

0:05:55.160 --> 0:05:59.039
<v Speaker 5>sign that you're not fully invested? And it suggests that

0:05:59.120 --> 0:06:02.400
<v Speaker 5>he's totally out of touch with average people who cannot

0:06:02.400 --> 0:06:05.000
<v Speaker 5>pay the mortgage, who cannot pay the rent, who aren't

0:06:05.000 --> 0:06:07.160
<v Speaker 5>sure where they're going to be living in three months time.

0:06:07.440 --> 0:06:09.839
<v Speaker 3>There's certainly not spending four point three million on a

0:06:10.000 --> 0:06:14.360
<v Speaker 3>beach house or which is going to be used occasionally,

0:06:14.440 --> 0:06:17.120
<v Speaker 3>unless he's I don't know, hiding from us, that is

0:06:17.160 --> 0:06:20.000
<v Speaker 3>stepping down and hide to the beach.

0:06:20.120 --> 0:06:22.520
<v Speaker 5>What I don't understand he's paid four point three million

0:06:22.520 --> 0:06:24.400
<v Speaker 5>dollars for beach house and it doesn't even have a

0:06:24.440 --> 0:06:25.080
<v Speaker 5>swimming pool.

0:06:25.160 --> 0:06:27.880
<v Speaker 2>What's outrageous? Well, your speech is right there.

0:06:29.040 --> 0:06:33.119
<v Speaker 3>And also for a politician who's just traded so much

0:06:33.240 --> 0:06:37.200
<v Speaker 3>on his history as growing up in public housing and

0:06:37.440 --> 0:06:40.520
<v Speaker 3>that's just been a big part of his brand. Again,

0:06:40.720 --> 0:06:43.120
<v Speaker 3>you can see why this seems to be but it's

0:06:43.240 --> 0:06:48.680
<v Speaker 3>just a lack of political nous. Absolutely, wait until after.

0:06:48.400 --> 0:06:51.359
<v Speaker 2>The election to do it. I mean, it's just a

0:06:51.440 --> 0:06:54.200
<v Speaker 2>remarkable decision to be making. Now.

0:06:54.560 --> 0:06:56.960
<v Speaker 3>Now I want to ask you about a top fund

0:06:57.080 --> 0:07:01.360
<v Speaker 3>manager warning that labours proposed tax on superbalances of more

0:07:01.360 --> 0:07:06.960
<v Speaker 3>than three million could decimate self managed superfunder industry. The

0:07:07.160 --> 0:07:11.840
<v Speaker 3>entire industry would be in peril, according to Wilson Asset

0:07:11.880 --> 0:07:13.560
<v Speaker 3>Management chief Jeff Wilson.

0:07:14.080 --> 0:07:16.320
<v Speaker 2>He says that these taxes.

0:07:15.920 --> 0:07:18.960
<v Speaker 3>Would remove any benefit to invest your money into a

0:07:19.040 --> 0:07:21.320
<v Speaker 3>super fun and you'd be better off putting it into

0:07:21.360 --> 0:07:26.840
<v Speaker 3>a savings account instead. This is an area that I'm

0:07:26.880 --> 0:07:30.320
<v Speaker 3>surprised the alb and Easy government of venturing down because

0:07:30.560 --> 0:07:33.640
<v Speaker 3>it costs. Bill Shorten had a lot to do with

0:07:33.680 --> 0:07:36.520
<v Speaker 3>Bill Shorten losing the unlosable election. You would think they

0:07:36.520 --> 0:07:39.560
<v Speaker 3>would leave this industry alone for now.

0:07:39.680 --> 0:07:44.040
<v Speaker 5>And there's any to be dabbling with negative gearing and looks.

0:07:43.560 --> 0:07:45.600
<v Speaker 2>In their DNA they can't help themselves.

0:07:45.640 --> 0:07:47.840
<v Speaker 5>No, that's right, And look it sounds like a bad

0:07:47.880 --> 0:07:51.720
<v Speaker 5>sort of law for a number of reasons. The unintended

0:07:51.760 --> 0:07:54.440
<v Speaker 5>consequences that the fund managers are talking about. You're going

0:07:54.480 --> 0:07:56.200
<v Speaker 5>to draw all this money, You're going to dry out

0:07:56.200 --> 0:07:58.680
<v Speaker 5>all this money that goes into investment. It's going to

0:07:58.720 --> 0:08:03.440
<v Speaker 5>hurt productivity, it's going to economic growth. Australians are trained

0:08:03.440 --> 0:08:05.600
<v Speaker 5>from day one to avoid tax and if they're going

0:08:05.680 --> 0:08:07.720
<v Speaker 5>to get close to three million dollars, and it's a

0:08:07.760 --> 0:08:10.960
<v Speaker 5>threshold that isn't even indexed for the future. So three

0:08:10.960 --> 0:08:13.000
<v Speaker 5>million dollars today might sound like a lot, but in

0:08:13.080 --> 0:08:15.720
<v Speaker 5>five years time, or ten years time or twenty years time,

0:08:15.800 --> 0:08:18.840
<v Speaker 5>it's not so much. It's not even index and it's

0:08:18.840 --> 0:08:21.640
<v Speaker 5>going to have effects that we're not intended.

0:08:23.240 --> 0:08:27.840
<v Speaker 3>We invest that money with the current laws and rules

0:08:28.000 --> 0:08:31.360
<v Speaker 3>and then they're changed on you. I think that's also

0:08:31.840 --> 0:08:32.920
<v Speaker 3>what most people would.

0:08:32.720 --> 0:08:33.600
<v Speaker 2>See as unfair.

0:08:33.640 --> 0:08:37.360
<v Speaker 3>And it seems like we keep attacking people who are

0:08:37.400 --> 0:08:41.040
<v Speaker 3>trying to be self sufficient, whether it's through property investment

0:08:41.240 --> 0:08:45.480
<v Speaker 3>or self managed super fun who are sacrificing so they

0:08:45.480 --> 0:08:48.719
<v Speaker 3>don't go on the pension that can take care of themselves.

0:08:49.960 --> 0:08:52.679
<v Speaker 3>I just think that's just so shortsighted.

0:08:52.760 --> 0:08:55.760
<v Speaker 5>It really is anti aspirational.

0:08:55.480 --> 0:08:58.400
<v Speaker 3>Anti aspirational exactly. Patrick Carline, thank you so much for

0:08:58.440 --> 0:08:59.200
<v Speaker 3>your time this evening.

0:08:59.240 --> 0:09:01.080
<v Speaker 2>Thanks very joining.

0:09:00.720 --> 0:09:06.880
<v Speaker 3>Me now is a steam geologist and author, Professor Ian Plymer, Professor.

0:09:07.040 --> 0:09:08.880
<v Speaker 2>Let's start with Chris Bowen.

0:09:09.000 --> 0:09:12.160
<v Speaker 3>His green dreams have been dealt another blow after a

0:09:12.240 --> 0:09:17.160
<v Speaker 3>world leading offshore wind developer officially abandoned plans to build

0:09:17.200 --> 0:09:21.440
<v Speaker 3>a proposed offshore wind farm in the Illawarra wind zone,

0:09:22.080 --> 0:09:25.320
<v Speaker 3>and when asked about this, Chris Bowen's office has refused

0:09:25.360 --> 0:09:29.480
<v Speaker 3>to confirm whether there are other companies with any interest

0:09:29.679 --> 0:09:33.599
<v Speaker 3>in stepping in to fill this void. Will the taxpayers

0:09:33.640 --> 0:09:37.520
<v Speaker 3>have to step in here and heavily subsidize this plan

0:09:37.720 --> 0:09:41.520
<v Speaker 3>or provide even more incentives for companies to bid for

0:09:41.559 --> 0:09:42.199
<v Speaker 3>the project.

0:09:44.080 --> 0:09:47.760
<v Speaker 7>Well, these plans are already very heavily subsidized, and we

0:09:47.800 --> 0:09:52.200
<v Speaker 7>also pay very highly to keep them going. Now we

0:09:52.320 --> 0:09:55.760
<v Speaker 7>find in the UK that they had tenders for these

0:09:55.840 --> 0:10:00.679
<v Speaker 7>offshore wind monstrosities and one tender wasn't They had no

0:10:00.720 --> 0:10:03.040
<v Speaker 7>one bidding for it. Were found the same in Canada.

0:10:03.080 --> 0:10:06.000
<v Speaker 7>We found the same in Europe. The costs are too high,

0:10:06.840 --> 0:10:09.240
<v Speaker 7>the money's not there, and people are not prepared to

0:10:09.280 --> 0:10:09.880
<v Speaker 7>pay the risk.

0:10:09.960 --> 0:10:10.719
<v Speaker 1>But wait for it.

0:10:10.840 --> 0:10:14.880
<v Speaker 7>I've got a great idea. Instead of putting such wind

0:10:14.920 --> 0:10:17.880
<v Speaker 7>turbines on the Illawarra coast, why don't we put them

0:10:17.880 --> 0:10:22.440
<v Speaker 7>on the Central coast, just offshore from mister albany four

0:10:22.440 --> 0:10:25.920
<v Speaker 7>point three million dollar holiday home. If he was a

0:10:26.160 --> 0:10:30.680
<v Speaker 7>man of principle, he would love to see offshore Coca

0:10:30.720 --> 0:10:34.000
<v Speaker 7>Cabana covered in these wind turbines. And the best way

0:10:34.000 --> 0:10:38.559
<v Speaker 7>to fund it would be for me siperhind superannuation of politicians.

0:10:38.880 --> 0:10:43.720
<v Speaker 7>That would be the ideal principles that mister Albanese could

0:10:43.760 --> 0:10:46.400
<v Speaker 7>demonstrate to us. Now he would have a view of

0:10:46.400 --> 0:10:50.240
<v Speaker 7>the turbines. It would be the only scheme he'd which

0:10:50.360 --> 0:10:52.920
<v Speaker 7>had been successful after all the voice had and everything

0:10:52.960 --> 0:10:56.199
<v Speaker 7>else he touches falls apart. So I think this is

0:10:56.240 --> 0:10:58.079
<v Speaker 7>the way to do it. Forget all the coal underneath,

0:10:58.160 --> 0:11:01.640
<v Speaker 7>forget the fact that there's coal fired and coal minifted

0:11:01.760 --> 0:11:04.800
<v Speaker 7>not north of him, cover the central coast with these

0:11:05.080 --> 0:11:07.480
<v Speaker 7>and then when you've done that, through green seats and

0:11:07.600 --> 0:11:11.839
<v Speaker 7>teal seats, with wind turbites. They're non economic, the tax

0:11:11.880 --> 0:11:16.280
<v Speaker 7>payers funding them, the electricity consumers funding them. And if

0:11:16.360 --> 0:11:19.160
<v Speaker 7>people who are skinning us alive can't see that's it

0:11:19.240 --> 0:11:21.280
<v Speaker 7>quid to be made, then there has to be a

0:11:21.320 --> 0:11:24.000
<v Speaker 7>problem with them.

0:11:24.679 --> 0:11:25.120
<v Speaker 2>Now.

0:11:25.320 --> 0:11:30.320
<v Speaker 3>Chris Bowen is still focusing on the coalition's energy policy

0:11:30.480 --> 0:11:35.000
<v Speaker 3>is continuing to attack the opposition's nuclear policy. He posted

0:11:35.080 --> 0:11:37.760
<v Speaker 3>this on x He said, experts have told us that

0:11:37.840 --> 0:11:41.200
<v Speaker 3>Peter Dutton's nuclear scheme could cost six hundred billion, take

0:11:41.240 --> 0:11:44.800
<v Speaker 3>twenty years, only secure four percent of the energy greed

0:11:45.360 --> 0:11:49.280
<v Speaker 3>and push up your power bills hundreds of dollars. And

0:11:49.440 --> 0:11:53.040
<v Speaker 3>if this is the case for a uranium rich country

0:11:53.120 --> 0:11:56.880
<v Speaker 3>like US, why are so many other First World nations,

0:11:56.960 --> 0:12:02.160
<v Speaker 3>from Sweden to Japan to the US investing so heavily

0:12:02.280 --> 0:12:05.120
<v Speaker 3>in nuclear energy?

0:12:06.040 --> 0:12:08.800
<v Speaker 7>Because these numbers are wrong. Because look at Finland, their

0:12:08.840 --> 0:12:13.120
<v Speaker 7>electricity costs went down enormously by putting in big reactors.

0:12:13.480 --> 0:12:16.640
<v Speaker 7>The same happened in Sweden. We have a large amount

0:12:16.679 --> 0:12:19.240
<v Speaker 7>of electricity. More than seventy percent of the electricity from

0:12:19.320 --> 0:12:22.880
<v Speaker 7>France comes from nuclear reactors. They have the cheapest power

0:12:22.960 --> 0:12:26.640
<v Speaker 7>in Europe. These numbers are demonstrably wrong. And if he's

0:12:26.679 --> 0:12:29.400
<v Speaker 7>going to jump up and down about the opposition's numbers,

0:12:29.800 --> 0:12:34.040
<v Speaker 7>I want to see the numbers that he's suggesting for

0:12:34.440 --> 0:12:39.800
<v Speaker 7>these thousands of kilometers of high voltage wires that have

0:12:39.880 --> 0:12:46.320
<v Speaker 7>to cover farmlands from distal power stations, from these wind

0:12:46.360 --> 0:12:49.559
<v Speaker 7>turbines out in the middle of nowhere. He hasn't costed anything.

0:12:50.040 --> 0:12:54.200
<v Speaker 7>So once he starts costing his own projects, then he

0:12:54.280 --> 0:12:57.280
<v Speaker 7>can start worrying about costing of other projects. But this

0:12:57.559 --> 0:13:00.160
<v Speaker 7>doesn't pass the pub test. We know that in the

0:13:00.160 --> 0:13:03.960
<v Speaker 7>country's nuclear is reliable and it's cheap. And the last

0:13:04.040 --> 0:13:08.200
<v Speaker 7>point is he hasn't costed in how unreliable energy affects

0:13:08.200 --> 0:13:11.600
<v Speaker 7>the economy. If you have a power failure, if you

0:13:11.720 --> 0:13:15.199
<v Speaker 7>have a power outage and you're pouring metal in a foundry,

0:13:15.400 --> 0:13:18.360
<v Speaker 7>that metal freezis that costs a large amount of money.

0:13:18.760 --> 0:13:22.160
<v Speaker 7>So if you've got nuclear or coal or gas twenty

0:13:22.200 --> 0:13:25.280
<v Speaker 7>four to seven three sixty five, you can have cheap,

0:13:25.520 --> 0:13:28.320
<v Speaker 7>reliable energy.

0:13:29.360 --> 0:13:32.440
<v Speaker 3>Now, finally, I want to get your thoughts on space

0:13:32.920 --> 0:13:37.640
<v Speaker 3>X pulling off a massive feet in aerospace engineering with

0:13:38.240 --> 0:13:42.839
<v Speaker 3>these mechanical arms on the launch tower of its flagship

0:13:42.960 --> 0:13:47.480
<v Speaker 3>rocket called Starship, catching the rocket's boost a module after

0:13:47.559 --> 0:13:53.520
<v Speaker 3>it self detached following takeoff. The footage is just mind

0:13:53.600 --> 0:14:00.000
<v Speaker 3>blowing that they manage this spectacular achievement in I'm interested

0:14:00.200 --> 0:14:04.080
<v Speaker 3>in your thoughts because I'm not. This is an area

0:14:04.200 --> 0:14:06.960
<v Speaker 3>that doesn't normally interest me, but even I've watched this

0:14:07.040 --> 0:14:09.480
<v Speaker 3>footage over and over again in.

0:14:09.440 --> 0:14:15.360
<v Speaker 7>Awe, I think it's just absolutely fabulous. What engineers can

0:14:15.400 --> 0:14:18.800
<v Speaker 7>do is to solve problems and solve problems which we

0:14:18.880 --> 0:14:21.720
<v Speaker 7>thought were impossible. Now they can also do that with

0:14:21.800 --> 0:14:24.200
<v Speaker 7>their power for it. They can also do it with energy.

0:14:24.520 --> 0:14:27.920
<v Speaker 7>It's done every day in minds, it's done on farms.

0:14:28.280 --> 0:14:32.040
<v Speaker 7>So it is the engineers, not the ideological politicians, that

0:14:32.160 --> 0:14:35.400
<v Speaker 7>actually solved problems. And some of them like this. It

0:14:35.520 --> 0:14:39.400
<v Speaker 7>looks impossible, but it happened. So all I say is

0:14:39.480 --> 0:14:44.600
<v Speaker 7>we should glorify our engineers who can give us the

0:14:44.640 --> 0:14:45.320
<v Speaker 7>modern world.

0:14:47.960 --> 0:14:50.720
<v Speaker 3>And it just shows you what could happen in the

0:14:50.800 --> 0:14:53.560
<v Speaker 3>private sector. You see all the money that's gone to

0:14:53.760 --> 0:14:57.640
<v Speaker 3>NASA in recent years, and they didn't pull this off.

0:14:57.800 --> 0:15:00.160
<v Speaker 2>Elon Musk and space extit.

0:15:01.480 --> 0:15:04.760
<v Speaker 7>Yes, and there were no government committees trying to solve

0:15:04.840 --> 0:15:08.280
<v Speaker 7>these problems. And my experience has been the government committees

0:15:08.640 --> 0:15:12.520
<v Speaker 7>don't solve problems. They create income from people who are

0:15:12.520 --> 0:15:15.840
<v Speaker 7>eminently unemployable, and it's endless. At the end of a

0:15:15.880 --> 0:15:19.760
<v Speaker 7>committee session, they have another problem to solve. So I

0:15:19.880 --> 0:15:24.480
<v Speaker 7>just think this is a marvel of engineering, supported by capitalism,

0:15:24.600 --> 0:15:28.800
<v Speaker 7>supported by private enterprise, and we really should let governments

0:15:28.840 --> 0:15:31.320
<v Speaker 7>get out of the way, reduce the number of people

0:15:31.320 --> 0:15:34.840
<v Speaker 7>in the public service, and actually start building things like

0:15:34.960 --> 0:15:35.440
<v Speaker 7>a nation.

0:15:37.840 --> 0:15:40.240
<v Speaker 3>Halla, Lujah, Provacy and Plyma, thank you so much for

0:15:40.280 --> 0:15:44.880
<v Speaker 3>your time this evening. Now it's time for lefties losing

0:15:45.000 --> 0:15:48.880
<v Speaker 3>as we've got a celebrity extravaganza coming up.

0:15:48.880 --> 0:15:52.760
<v Speaker 2>But first to Gwen Woles, the wife of Tim Woles.

0:15:52.880 --> 0:15:57.920
<v Speaker 2>You'll remember her, Bye bye, Donald Trump. She's terrifying. Well

0:15:57.960 --> 0:15:58.600
<v Speaker 2>listen to her.

0:15:58.680 --> 0:16:02.720
<v Speaker 3>Here order people to take three friends with them to

0:16:02.760 --> 0:16:05.280
<v Speaker 3>the polling booth and need you to take yourself and

0:16:05.360 --> 0:16:08.800
<v Speaker 3>three friends to the ballot box and make your voice heard.

0:16:09.320 --> 0:16:11.840
<v Speaker 2>You have to vote. I'm going to repeat that again.

0:16:12.280 --> 0:16:15.040
<v Speaker 8>You and three of your friends have to make your

0:16:15.080 --> 0:16:16.560
<v Speaker 8>voices heard by voting.

0:16:17.280 --> 0:16:21.760
<v Speaker 3>Okay, I'm just grateful that she's stopped turning the page

0:16:21.840 --> 0:16:23.280
<v Speaker 3>and stop singing.

0:16:23.440 --> 0:16:26.880
<v Speaker 9>We were all stand a bench to the other.

0:16:27.120 --> 0:16:30.760
<v Speaker 2>Team will never yield and we will bergget. We're here,

0:16:31.360 --> 0:16:35.120
<v Speaker 2>we were faith for a victory. Weird, just weird.

0:16:35.560 --> 0:16:37.280
<v Speaker 3>And if you want to know just how weird this

0:16:37.640 --> 0:16:41.440
<v Speaker 3>couple is on this Columbus stay, Let's take a look

0:16:41.560 --> 0:16:44.720
<v Speaker 3>at what Governor Ti Walls said back in twenty twenty

0:16:45.240 --> 0:16:49.680
<v Speaker 3>when far left activists tore down a statue of Columbus.

0:16:50.040 --> 0:17:01.720
<v Speaker 3>Let's look at the destruction first. This is how Governor

0:17:01.800 --> 0:17:06.679
<v Speaker 3>Walls reacted. Not condemnation, not even mild criticism, but he

0:17:06.800 --> 0:17:10.159
<v Speaker 3>defended the leftist extremists destroying monuments.

0:17:10.160 --> 0:17:14.600
<v Speaker 2>He said that had legitimate concerns about a genocidal monument.

0:17:14.920 --> 0:17:17.280
<v Speaker 8>It was an act of civil disobedience that we need

0:17:17.320 --> 0:17:20.560
<v Speaker 8>to make sure people feel that there is a proper

0:17:20.680 --> 0:17:24.720
<v Speaker 8>outlet to address what are legitimate concerns around what they

0:17:24.840 --> 0:17:29.240
<v Speaker 8>view as a generalcidal monument that they have to walk

0:17:29.280 --> 0:17:30.359
<v Speaker 8>to in their democracy.

0:17:30.680 --> 0:17:33.840
<v Speaker 2>You want this character anywhere near the White House? Are

0:17:33.880 --> 0:17:35.400
<v Speaker 2>you in nuts? Now?

0:17:35.520 --> 0:17:39.359
<v Speaker 3>Yesterday we mocked him Wall's attempts to play the macho

0:17:39.520 --> 0:17:40.840
<v Speaker 3>man gun enthusiast.

0:17:41.480 --> 0:17:44.080
<v Speaker 2>That whole thing was frankly beyond parody.

0:17:44.480 --> 0:17:48.639
<v Speaker 3>But Kamala's antics are being parodied on Saturday Night Live.

0:17:48.800 --> 0:17:50.960
<v Speaker 2>Here she is playing family feud.

0:17:51.440 --> 0:17:54.560
<v Speaker 10>Okay, one hundred people surveying, top six answers on the board. Nay,

0:17:54.600 --> 0:17:57.480
<v Speaker 10>have something that you're keeping your glove compartment? Help, BP,

0:17:57.600 --> 0:18:03.159
<v Speaker 10>Harris Steve Look, I was raised in a middle class family.

0:18:03.320 --> 0:18:04.600
<v Speaker 10>All right, Oh here we go.

0:18:04.840 --> 0:18:05.159
<v Speaker 2>Okay.

0:18:05.200 --> 0:18:08.560
<v Speaker 11>My mother raised my sister and me, all right, she

0:18:08.720 --> 0:18:10.719
<v Speaker 11>worked hard and saved up.

0:18:11.160 --> 0:18:11.360
<v Speaker 5>Huh.

0:18:11.720 --> 0:18:13.879
<v Speaker 2>And we had a second mother too, Okay.

0:18:14.119 --> 0:18:15.720
<v Speaker 10>Did that mother have a glove compartment?

0:18:16.800 --> 0:18:19.080
<v Speaker 2>A small business owner named miss Shelton?

0:18:19.119 --> 0:18:21.600
<v Speaker 10>Okay, we got that something that you keep in your

0:18:21.640 --> 0:18:22.360
<v Speaker 10>global apartment.

0:18:22.960 --> 0:18:24.760
<v Speaker 2>Oh we're gluck stee if a big old glove.

0:18:26.240 --> 0:18:29.160
<v Speaker 3>Now, you know the Democrats are getting desperate when they

0:18:29.200 --> 0:18:32.320
<v Speaker 3>pull out the celebrity card. Last week we brought you

0:18:32.440 --> 0:18:37.640
<v Speaker 3>vision of Bruce Springsteen embarrassing himself with her publicly airing

0:18:37.760 --> 0:18:42.920
<v Speaker 3>his tedious symptoms trumped arrangement syndrome symptoms. It was unedifying,

0:18:43.520 --> 0:18:46.080
<v Speaker 3>and I regret to inform you that John bon Jovi

0:18:46.480 --> 0:18:50.600
<v Speaker 3>is also similarly afflicted, and even worse. He has written

0:18:50.640 --> 0:18:53.840
<v Speaker 3>a song about it all. He tweeted that he is

0:18:54.000 --> 0:18:59.040
<v Speaker 3>voting for Harrison Walls and this is the aforementioned song,

0:18:59.640 --> 0:19:00.600
<v Speaker 3>Brace Yourself.

0:19:00.720 --> 0:19:02.800
<v Speaker 2>The cringe is extreme.

0:19:07.440 --> 0:19:08.560
<v Speaker 12>These allus.

0:19:13.320 --> 0:19:16.840
<v Speaker 3>Let's say what other A listas are embarrassing themselves in

0:19:16.880 --> 0:19:21.399
<v Speaker 3>recent days? And uh, we've got Jennifer Ghana, actress, Jennifer Gannah.

0:19:21.440 --> 0:19:22.080
<v Speaker 2>She must be a.

0:19:22.080 --> 0:19:26.520
<v Speaker 3>Very good actress, indeed, because she set this outrageous lie

0:19:26.560 --> 0:19:28.000
<v Speaker 3>without laughing out loud.

0:19:28.920 --> 0:19:31.960
<v Speaker 4>I'm looking at these beautiful faces, these women and these

0:19:32.000 --> 0:19:34.480
<v Speaker 4>strong men. Guy, is there anything sexier than a man

0:19:34.520 --> 0:19:41.159
<v Speaker 4>who's like men for Kamala?

0:19:41.400 --> 0:19:41.800
<v Speaker 5>You?

0:19:41.800 --> 0:19:45.480
<v Speaker 4>You are the front line of this battle for lack

0:19:45.520 --> 0:19:46.240
<v Speaker 4>of a better word.

0:19:46.400 --> 0:19:51.200
<v Speaker 2>Is there anything sexier than men for Kamala? Yes? Everything,

0:19:51.560 --> 0:19:56.560
<v Speaker 2>Everything is sexier than dudes for Kamala? Are you kidding me? Now?

0:19:56.640 --> 0:20:00.000
<v Speaker 3>Let's get more daft celebrity endorsements delivered in cringe fact.

0:20:00.320 --> 0:20:04.040
<v Speaker 3>Here is Kerry Washington along with John Legend and his

0:20:04.119 --> 0:20:08.200
<v Speaker 3>wife Chrissy Teagan that's the model who was exposed for

0:20:08.280 --> 0:20:14.520
<v Speaker 3>sending the most vile trolling comments to teenagers, including telling

0:20:14.560 --> 0:20:18.600
<v Speaker 3>one to kill herself. Happily, those episodes are well behind her.

0:20:18.760 --> 0:20:20.639
<v Speaker 3>Now she's producing content.

0:20:20.400 --> 0:20:24.560
<v Speaker 13>Like this, I honestly, genuinely, fully when a hundred percent

0:20:24.640 --> 0:20:28.000
<v Speaker 13>sincerely believe that this is going to change people's lives.

0:20:28.040 --> 0:20:41.200
<v Speaker 3>And what is Michigan Governor direcchen Wigmer up to these days? Okay,

0:20:41.600 --> 0:20:44.840
<v Speaker 3>at least she wasn't saying anything unhinged in that clip.

0:20:45.200 --> 0:20:46.159
<v Speaker 2>Trump came all the.

0:20:46.119 --> 0:20:49.800
<v Speaker 11>Way to Michigan to beat down and insult the people

0:20:49.840 --> 0:20:50.400
<v Speaker 11>of Detroit.

0:20:50.880 --> 0:20:52.119
<v Speaker 1>So keep Detroit out.

0:20:52.000 --> 0:20:54.920
<v Speaker 11>Of your mouth, Donald Trump, and the words of Arica.

0:20:55.440 --> 0:20:57.040
<v Speaker 1>Sure Detroit is a little respect.

0:20:57.480 --> 0:20:59.800
<v Speaker 2>Keep Detroit out of your mouth, Donald Trump.

0:21:00.280 --> 0:21:00.639
<v Speaker 6>D me.

0:21:00.800 --> 0:21:03.560
<v Speaker 3>Now, this is a master cause in how to handle

0:21:03.600 --> 0:21:08.760
<v Speaker 3>the Democrats propaganda on the leftist losing it activists.

0:21:08.320 --> 0:21:12.680
<v Speaker 2>In the media. Here is JD. VADs on Abasa.

0:21:13.200 --> 0:21:18.320
<v Speaker 11>The incidents were limited to a handful of apartment conflux

0:21:18.920 --> 0:21:22.760
<v Speaker 11>apartment complexes, and the mayor said, our dedicated police officers

0:21:22.920 --> 0:21:26.440
<v Speaker 11>have acted on those concerns a handful of problems.

0:21:28.040 --> 0:21:30.320
<v Speaker 9>Only, Martha, do you hear yourself?

0:21:30.440 --> 0:21:33.800
<v Speaker 6>Only a handful of apartment complexes in America were taken

0:21:33.840 --> 0:21:37.200
<v Speaker 6>over by Venezuelan gangs, and Donald Trump is the problem

0:21:37.240 --> 0:21:40.960
<v Speaker 6>and not Kamala Harris's open border. Americans are so fed

0:21:41.040 --> 0:21:43.440
<v Speaker 6>up with what's going on, and they have every right

0:21:43.480 --> 0:21:46.600
<v Speaker 6>to be. And I really find this exchange, Martha's sort

0:21:46.640 --> 0:21:49.879
<v Speaker 6>of interesting because you seem to be more focused with

0:21:50.040 --> 0:21:54.520
<v Speaker 6>nitpicking everything that Donald Trump has said rather than acknowledging

0:21:54.840 --> 0:21:58.480
<v Speaker 6>that apartment complexes in the United States of America are

0:21:58.480 --> 0:21:59.960
<v Speaker 6>being taken over by violence.

0:22:00.560 --> 0:22:03.800
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, just a few apartment complex There's nothing to worry about.

0:22:04.280 --> 0:22:07.320
<v Speaker 3>And here is JD Vance with New York Times reporter

0:22:07.600 --> 0:22:11.960
<v Speaker 3>Lulu Garcia Navarro who claims that you can't deport all

0:22:11.960 --> 0:22:15.879
<v Speaker 3>these illegal immigrants because they work in construction and we

0:22:16.000 --> 0:22:18.280
<v Speaker 3>need more houses than ever. I wonder if she was

0:22:18.320 --> 0:22:23.240
<v Speaker 3>against abolishing slavery too. Jd Vance treated her questions with

0:22:23.359 --> 0:22:25.000
<v Speaker 3>the disdain they deserve.

0:22:25.600 --> 0:22:28.520
<v Speaker 14>I don't think that many people who look into this

0:22:28.640 --> 0:22:31.240
<v Speaker 14>agree with you. But about a third of the construction

0:22:31.320 --> 0:22:34.119
<v Speaker 14>workforce in this country is Hispanic. Of those, a large

0:22:34.160 --> 0:22:37.680
<v Speaker 14>proportion are undocumented. So how do you propose to build

0:22:37.720 --> 0:22:40.360
<v Speaker 14>all the housing necessary that we need in this country

0:22:41.000 --> 0:22:43.359
<v Speaker 14>by removing all the people who are working in construction.

0:22:43.800 --> 0:22:46.119
<v Speaker 13>Well, I think it's a fair question because we know

0:22:46.320 --> 0:22:48.639
<v Speaker 13>that back in the nineteen sixties, when we had very

0:22:48.640 --> 0:22:51.880
<v Speaker 13>low levels of legal immigration, Americans didn't buy houses, didn't

0:22:51.880 --> 0:22:56.159
<v Speaker 13>build houses. But of course they did. And I'm being sarcastic,

0:22:56.200 --> 0:22:57.960
<v Speaker 13>of course, in service of a point. Again, this is

0:22:58.000 --> 0:23:00.680
<v Speaker 13>one of the really deranged things that I think a

0:23:00.720 --> 0:23:03.639
<v Speaker 13>legal immigration does to our society. Is it gets us

0:23:03.640 --> 0:23:06.200
<v Speaker 13>in a mindset of saying we can only build houses

0:23:06.240 --> 0:23:08.800
<v Speaker 13>with the legal immigrants. When we have seven million just men,

0:23:08.840 --> 0:23:12.399
<v Speaker 13>not even women, just men who have completely dropped out

0:23:12.440 --> 0:23:14.959
<v Speaker 13>of the labor force. People say, well, Americans won't do

0:23:15.000 --> 0:23:19.000
<v Speaker 13>those jobs. Americans won't do those jobs for below the

0:23:19.040 --> 0:23:21.480
<v Speaker 13>table wages still to come.

0:23:21.600 --> 0:23:24.720
<v Speaker 3>Josh Hammer with the latest from the US, including a

0:23:24.960 --> 0:23:27.840
<v Speaker 3>plagiarism scandal for Kamala Harris.

0:23:36.720 --> 0:23:40.560
<v Speaker 2>Welcome back. Joining me now is Newsweek Senior editor at Large,

0:23:40.680 --> 0:23:41.479
<v Speaker 2>Josh Hammer.

0:23:41.720 --> 0:23:46.879
<v Speaker 3>Josh, let's have a listen to the Harris campaign's latest strategy,

0:23:46.920 --> 0:23:52.560
<v Speaker 3>and it's out there. Apparently the Republicans are hiding Donald Trump.

0:23:53.000 --> 0:23:53.800
<v Speaker 2>Here's the thing.

0:23:54.440 --> 0:23:58.920
<v Speaker 15>Here's the thing. It makes you wonder. It makes you wonder,

0:24:00.359 --> 0:24:01.879
<v Speaker 15>why does his staff.

0:24:01.760 --> 0:24:03.480
<v Speaker 2>Want him to hide away.

0:24:07.280 --> 0:24:09.959
<v Speaker 3>One last question, one last question.

0:24:10.200 --> 0:24:13.879
<v Speaker 15>Are they afraid that people will see that he is

0:24:13.960 --> 0:24:15.919
<v Speaker 15>too weak and unstable?

0:24:18.000 --> 0:24:21.040
<v Speaker 3>Yes, one must wonder, josh one must one die?

0:24:21.240 --> 0:24:23.600
<v Speaker 2>Such a bizarre line.

0:24:24.000 --> 0:24:25.720
<v Speaker 3>I don't know if it's going to work with the

0:24:26.480 --> 0:24:29.800
<v Speaker 3>undecided voters, but it's hard to think of a candidate

0:24:29.960 --> 0:24:34.119
<v Speaker 3>that's more out there than Donald Trump. He's everywhere, He's

0:24:34.160 --> 0:24:38.240
<v Speaker 3>on podcast, is doing every interviewed, He's doing press conferences

0:24:38.320 --> 0:24:43.159
<v Speaker 3>at take away shops like he's just questioned and talking

0:24:43.680 --> 0:24:44.320
<v Speaker 3>every day.

0:24:46.240 --> 0:24:49.840
<v Speaker 12>Yeah, I believe that this is what psychiatrists call projection.

0:24:50.440 --> 0:24:53.000
<v Speaker 12>You know, I didn't study psychiatry in law school or

0:24:53.040 --> 0:24:55.280
<v Speaker 12>in grad school or whatever, but I mean, this is

0:24:55.320 --> 0:24:59.000
<v Speaker 12>a clear and obvious case of psychiatric or psychological projection,

0:24:59.160 --> 0:25:02.600
<v Speaker 12>is not. Tamala Harris is the one who only recently

0:25:02.600 --> 0:25:04.919
<v Speaker 12>started to change her media strategy a little bit. But

0:25:04.920 --> 0:25:06.920
<v Speaker 12>by the way, don't call it a media blitz because

0:25:06.960 --> 0:25:10.040
<v Speaker 12>she's just doing left wing echo chamber interviews.

0:25:10.160 --> 0:25:11.879
<v Speaker 9>Although I'll be at this week she's changing in a

0:25:11.880 --> 0:25:12.320
<v Speaker 9>little bit.

0:25:12.359 --> 0:25:14.480
<v Speaker 12>She actually she actually just now she's doing a sit

0:25:14.560 --> 0:25:17.760
<v Speaker 12>down interview with Brett Bayer of Fox News. Apparently the

0:25:17.840 --> 0:25:20.840
<v Speaker 12>latest scuttle butt is that she's also considering a potentially

0:25:21.000 --> 0:25:23.960
<v Speaker 12>three hour long sit down with Joe Rogan, the very

0:25:23.960 --> 0:25:27.440
<v Speaker 12>popular Austin, Texas based podcaster. I can't imagine how bad

0:25:27.480 --> 0:25:29.840
<v Speaker 12>her internal polling is. That she's agreeing to a sit

0:25:29.920 --> 0:25:31.879
<v Speaker 12>down interview with Brett bay Or of Fox News and

0:25:31.920 --> 0:25:34.920
<v Speaker 12>potentially three hours. God help us if we actually sit

0:25:34.960 --> 0:25:37.359
<v Speaker 12>through those full three hours with Joe Rogan.

0:25:38.600 --> 0:25:40.280
<v Speaker 9>Kamala Harris is not in good shape.

0:25:40.280 --> 0:25:42.439
<v Speaker 12>I mean, this has all of the indications of a

0:25:42.520 --> 0:25:45.760
<v Speaker 12>campaign that is currently going down the toilet. She is

0:25:45.760 --> 0:25:49.080
<v Speaker 12>losing momentum at the exact worst time possible. All of

0:25:49.080 --> 0:25:51.879
<v Speaker 12>the polling is shifting Donald Trump's way right now. She

0:25:52.000 --> 0:25:54.919
<v Speaker 12>peeked a little bit too early. They had that bump

0:25:55.480 --> 0:25:57.879
<v Speaker 12>after the coup of Joe Biden leading up to the

0:25:57.960 --> 0:26:00.920
<v Speaker 12>DNC in Chicago. But by the time I'm August turned

0:26:00.920 --> 0:26:03.560
<v Speaker 12>through September, she had the debate when fine, I guess,

0:26:04.080 --> 0:26:06.359
<v Speaker 12>but by mid to late September at the latest, it

0:26:06.440 --> 0:26:08.800
<v Speaker 12>was basically over for her. And I don't want to

0:26:08.800 --> 0:26:10.920
<v Speaker 12>prematurely call it. I'm not saying the elections over, but

0:26:11.280 --> 0:26:13.160
<v Speaker 12>she had reached her peak. She had reached her peak

0:26:13.160 --> 0:26:15.600
<v Speaker 12>in polling at this point. Now she's just flailing. So

0:26:15.640 --> 0:26:17.760
<v Speaker 12>she was in Eerie Pennsylvania. I think that clickly just offten.

0:26:17.800 --> 0:26:20.000
<v Speaker 12>I was thinking it was an eerie Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania is

0:26:20.000 --> 0:26:22.840
<v Speaker 12>the number one battleground tad this cycle. Bob Casey, who

0:26:22.960 --> 0:26:25.800
<v Speaker 12>was the vulnerable senator running for reelection in Pennsylvania, did

0:26:25.800 --> 0:26:28.760
<v Speaker 12>not even appear with Kamala Harris at that rally in

0:26:28.840 --> 0:26:32.199
<v Speaker 12>Erie Pennsylvania because he knows that she's political poison in

0:26:32.240 --> 0:26:32.639
<v Speaker 12>that state.

0:26:34.800 --> 0:26:37.159
<v Speaker 2>That is not a good sign. And I would be

0:26:37.240 --> 0:26:38.560
<v Speaker 2>shocked if she does Rogan.

0:26:38.600 --> 0:26:41.240
<v Speaker 3>And if she does Rogan, you're right, her internal polling

0:26:41.359 --> 0:26:47.240
<v Speaker 3>must be absolutely circling the drain, because that is dangerous

0:26:47.280 --> 0:26:50.720
<v Speaker 3>for her to sit down with someone like him who

0:26:50.800 --> 0:26:54.760
<v Speaker 3>is not going to be just giving her softball questions.

0:26:54.840 --> 0:26:59.119
<v Speaker 3>He's going to actually hold her to account. That could

0:26:59.160 --> 0:27:03.120
<v Speaker 3>be an appste train wreck. Donald Trump has already I think,

0:27:03.160 --> 0:27:04.359
<v Speaker 3>indicated he's going.

0:27:04.240 --> 0:27:05.199
<v Speaker 2>To be doing Rogan.

0:27:05.359 --> 0:27:09.280
<v Speaker 3>But if she ends up doing it, wow, grab the popcorn.

0:27:09.359 --> 0:27:11.280
<v Speaker 3>It's going to be a fun one. But she also

0:27:11.359 --> 0:27:15.040
<v Speaker 3>had to go with Donald Trump for refusing to sit

0:27:15.160 --> 0:27:17.480
<v Speaker 3>down and talk to sixty minutes.

0:27:17.880 --> 0:27:20.120
<v Speaker 15>His staff won't let him do a sixty minutes interview

0:27:21.200 --> 0:27:23.879
<v Speaker 15>every president for the last half century has done on

0:27:24.040 --> 0:27:25.720
<v Speaker 15>anyone who's running for president.

0:27:26.240 --> 0:27:28.840
<v Speaker 3>Now, put to one side the fact that sixty minutes

0:27:28.920 --> 0:27:31.359
<v Speaker 3>audience is nowhere near what it used to be, I

0:27:31.400 --> 0:27:36.000
<v Speaker 3>can think of two very good reasons why Donald Trump should,

0:27:36.040 --> 0:27:38.880
<v Speaker 3>out of principle, not speak to sixty minutes again.

0:27:40.119 --> 0:27:40.959
<v Speaker 2>What are your thoughts.

0:27:40.960 --> 0:27:43.120
<v Speaker 3>I'm interested to see if your reasons are the same

0:27:43.160 --> 0:27:43.600
<v Speaker 3>as mine.

0:27:45.119 --> 0:27:45.600
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, Rita.

0:27:45.680 --> 0:27:48.240
<v Speaker 12>Here in the US, CBS News has recently exposed itself

0:27:48.240 --> 0:27:50.639
<v Speaker 12>as maybe the most blatantly corrupt of all of the

0:27:50.720 --> 0:27:53.760
<v Speaker 12>various corporate media networks. And that is saying a lot

0:27:53.800 --> 0:27:56.560
<v Speaker 12>what I just said, because there is a lot there.

0:27:56.600 --> 0:27:59.120
<v Speaker 12>There are a lot of options to choose run CBS News.

0:27:59.160 --> 0:28:01.440
<v Speaker 12>I mean, let's just run down the list and quick succession. First,

0:28:01.480 --> 0:28:04.159
<v Speaker 12>they hosted that vice presidential debate between JD. Vans and

0:28:04.200 --> 0:28:07.920
<v Speaker 12>Tim Walls, where JD Vans absolutely clobber Tim Walls. Not

0:28:08.200 --> 0:28:11.960
<v Speaker 12>stand the fact that the two CBS moderators were fact

0:28:12.040 --> 0:28:12.680
<v Speaker 12>checking JD.

0:28:12.800 --> 0:28:13.920
<v Speaker 9>Vans in real time.

0:28:14.040 --> 0:28:16.440
<v Speaker 12>Not stand the fact that they had given him their

0:28:16.560 --> 0:28:19.280
<v Speaker 12>exact word that they would not do that before the debate.

0:28:19.400 --> 0:28:23.160
<v Speaker 12>That's number one. Number two we had a Maoist struggle

0:28:23.200 --> 0:28:26.280
<v Speaker 12>session in real time at CBS News when the morning

0:28:26.280 --> 0:28:30.879
<v Speaker 12>anchor Tony Dokapil started to ask very reasonable basic questions

0:28:30.880 --> 0:28:33.480
<v Speaker 12>to left wing charlottean tana HEAs Coades he was on

0:28:33.560 --> 0:28:37.399
<v Speaker 12>to promote his deeply anti Semitic book The Message. Tony

0:28:37.400 --> 0:28:40.040
<v Speaker 12>docopol was asking very basic questions, why didn't you talk

0:28:40.040 --> 0:28:43.920
<v Speaker 12>about Hasbala the second Intofada? And apparently the big wigs

0:28:43.920 --> 0:28:46.400
<v Speaker 12>the c suite at CBS News was so upset that

0:28:46.440 --> 0:28:48.760
<v Speaker 12>their anchor had the temerity, had the hood spot to

0:28:48.800 --> 0:28:51.680
<v Speaker 12>ask basic questions to Tony easy coats, that they had

0:28:51.760 --> 0:28:55.680
<v Speaker 12>a company wide struggle session the next day whereby Tony Docapila,

0:28:55.720 --> 0:28:57.720
<v Speaker 12>the anchor actually broke down in tears.

0:28:57.720 --> 0:28:59.680
<v Speaker 9>I'm so sorry, Tod hes codes.

0:29:00.080 --> 0:29:02.480
<v Speaker 12>And then it came out in the aftermath of that

0:29:02.480 --> 0:29:06.520
<v Speaker 12>that there's standards in practice division at CBS News. Actually,

0:29:06.840 --> 0:29:09.960
<v Speaker 12>in a closely related point, they instructed all of the

0:29:10.000 --> 0:29:12.600
<v Speaker 12>anchors and journalists of the network to not refer to

0:29:12.720 --> 0:29:16.480
<v Speaker 12>Jerusalem as being in Israel. So this has all the

0:29:16.560 --> 0:29:18.960
<v Speaker 12>signs of a network. And by the way, I forgot

0:29:19.000 --> 0:29:21.680
<v Speaker 12>to mention the last part. They actually, as as we

0:29:21.720 --> 0:29:24.640
<v Speaker 12>all now know they actually edited Kamala Harris's own Sixty

0:29:24.680 --> 0:29:27.040
<v Speaker 12>Minutes interview. She gave this word salad of all word

0:29:27.120 --> 0:29:29.840
<v Speaker 12>salads when it came to US's relations and primus rental.

0:29:29.920 --> 0:29:30.360
<v Speaker 5>That was.

0:29:32.440 --> 0:29:35.560
<v Speaker 3>That was one of my two reasons, Josh that because

0:29:35.680 --> 0:29:41.840
<v Speaker 3>that was just so deeply dishonest to deceptively edit her answer.

0:29:42.320 --> 0:29:44.600
<v Speaker 3>And the answer they put wasn't even part of the

0:29:44.600 --> 0:29:47.880
<v Speaker 3>original answer. It wasn't that they cut it short. They

0:29:48.040 --> 0:29:52.240
<v Speaker 3>just switched things around to make her look strong and

0:29:52.320 --> 0:29:56.280
<v Speaker 3>decisive instead of absolutely incoherent and weak, which was what

0:29:56.400 --> 0:30:00.560
<v Speaker 3>her actual answer indicated. And the second reason and was

0:30:01.800 --> 0:30:05.160
<v Speaker 3>Donald Trump sat down with sixty Minutes last time around,

0:30:05.200 --> 0:30:10.040
<v Speaker 3>back in twenty twenty and they claimed that Hunter Biden's

0:30:10.080 --> 0:30:13.880
<v Speaker 3>laptop was Russian disinformation, that it wasn't real, and they've

0:30:13.920 --> 0:30:17.080
<v Speaker 3>never apologized for that. And I think that is just

0:30:17.160 --> 0:30:20.600
<v Speaker 3>another reason why Donald Trump should go tell them to jump.

0:30:20.880 --> 0:30:21.080
<v Speaker 2>Now.

0:30:21.160 --> 0:30:25.480
<v Speaker 3>Just moving on today is Columbus stay, but the Democrats

0:30:25.520 --> 0:30:27.000
<v Speaker 3>call it something else.

0:30:27.080 --> 0:30:30.280
<v Speaker 2>Nowadays, Let's have Kamala Harris explain.

0:30:30.000 --> 0:30:34.840
<v Speaker 15>That we celebrate Indigenous People's Day as we speak truth

0:30:35.520 --> 0:30:42.160
<v Speaker 15>about our nation's history. Since nineteen thirty four, every October,

0:30:42.640 --> 0:30:46.520
<v Speaker 15>the United States has recognized the voyage of the European

0:30:46.600 --> 0:30:50.960
<v Speaker 15>explorers who first landed on the shores of the Americas.

0:30:52.000 --> 0:30:56.120
<v Speaker 15>But that is not the whole story. That has never

0:30:56.200 --> 0:31:01.480
<v Speaker 15>been the whole story. Those explore your ushered in a

0:31:01.520 --> 0:31:08.160
<v Speaker 15>wave of devastation for tribal nations, perpetrating violence, stealing land,

0:31:08.840 --> 0:31:13.920
<v Speaker 15>and spreading disease. We must not shy away from this

0:31:14.120 --> 0:31:15.360
<v Speaker 15>shameful past.

0:31:15.840 --> 0:31:18.480
<v Speaker 2>Goodness, major's shameful past.

0:31:18.880 --> 0:31:26.000
<v Speaker 3>European explorers ushering in a wave of devastation, violence, stealing land, disease,

0:31:26.720 --> 0:31:31.360
<v Speaker 3>spreading disease. I mean, really, is this, uh how they

0:31:31.520 --> 0:31:33.240
<v Speaker 3>see America?

0:31:33.400 --> 0:31:36.760
<v Speaker 2>That's how they see Columbus Day? What do you make

0:31:36.800 --> 0:31:37.320
<v Speaker 2>of all that?

0:31:38.600 --> 0:31:40.720
<v Speaker 12>Rita, one of my oldest friends in the world, texted

0:31:40.800 --> 0:31:43.719
<v Speaker 12>me that clip earlier today and he said, you have

0:31:43.760 --> 0:31:47.200
<v Speaker 12>to watch this, And I actually watched it twice because

0:31:47.240 --> 0:31:50.920
<v Speaker 12>I actually couldnt believe what I had just seen. I mean,

0:31:50.960 --> 0:31:53.280
<v Speaker 12>this is right out of like a Babylon be headline.

0:31:53.280 --> 0:31:56.000
<v Speaker 12>This is right out of just a total parody satires

0:31:56.000 --> 0:31:58.360
<v Speaker 12>to get It's right out of Saturday Night Live. The

0:31:58.400 --> 0:32:01.000
<v Speaker 12>fact that the person who was the vice president of

0:32:01.040 --> 0:32:03.760
<v Speaker 12>United States, who is seeking a promotion to the leader

0:32:03.800 --> 0:32:07.080
<v Speaker 12>of the Free World, but get there and to say

0:32:06.920 --> 0:32:12.000
<v Speaker 12>the most clearly, clearly platitudinous lines that a left wing

0:32:12.080 --> 0:32:15.440
<v Speaker 12>woaster could ever issue about how all of the Americas

0:32:15.440 --> 0:32:19.680
<v Speaker 12>were conquered by white colonizers and settlers and this and that. Well,

0:32:19.720 --> 0:32:21.920
<v Speaker 12>I mean, I have a very basic question, miss Harris,

0:32:22.200 --> 0:32:24.880
<v Speaker 12>why are you running to be leader of the free world?

0:32:25.000 --> 0:32:27.560
<v Speaker 12>If you think that the free World, at least the

0:32:27.720 --> 0:32:31.640
<v Speaker 12>entire Western Hemisphere portion of it, was inherently founded and

0:32:31.720 --> 0:32:35.440
<v Speaker 12>settled in sin, that this is all a mistake. I mean,

0:32:35.480 --> 0:32:37.760
<v Speaker 12>should you know? You know her parents are immigrants. Her

0:32:37.760 --> 0:32:41.320
<v Speaker 12>parents came here from Jamaica and India. If it's continent

0:32:41.480 --> 0:32:44.120
<v Speaker 12>North America and the United States is so bad, why

0:32:44.160 --> 0:32:46.800
<v Speaker 12>didn't they just stay in India and Jamaica. Why are

0:32:46.840 --> 0:32:48.520
<v Speaker 12>you running for office in the first place?

0:32:48.560 --> 0:32:48.680
<v Speaker 1>There?

0:32:48.720 --> 0:32:51.800
<v Speaker 12>If this land was founded in such disgrace and ignominy,

0:32:51.840 --> 0:32:52.560
<v Speaker 12>I mean.

0:32:52.880 --> 0:32:56.920
<v Speaker 9>It's just thoroughly contemptible. It's so hypocritical. And you know what.

0:32:57.120 --> 0:33:00.280
<v Speaker 12>Ultimately, my conclusion when I saw this video was Tamala

0:33:00.360 --> 0:33:03.000
<v Speaker 12>Harris goes down in flames in three weeks time, which

0:33:03.040 --> 0:33:05.520
<v Speaker 12>I do predict that she will. I think that clips

0:33:05.600 --> 0:33:07.160
<v Speaker 12>like this are going to have a lot to do

0:33:07.200 --> 0:33:10.240
<v Speaker 12>with it, because she cannot get out of her own

0:33:10.360 --> 0:33:13.320
<v Speaker 12>left wing echo chamber, just like that stupid Call Your

0:33:13.400 --> 0:33:17.800
<v Speaker 12>Daddy whatever podcast when we're talking about slut shaming and

0:33:17.920 --> 0:33:20.520
<v Speaker 12>all these sexual acts. She can't get out of her

0:33:20.520 --> 0:33:22.520
<v Speaker 12>own bubble. And that's what you see. They're on that

0:33:22.520 --> 0:33:23.400
<v Speaker 12>clip right there as well.

0:33:25.520 --> 0:33:27.640
<v Speaker 3>Now, I would be very interested to see if she

0:33:27.720 --> 0:33:30.960
<v Speaker 3>says something similar to that now now that she's running

0:33:30.960 --> 0:33:33.040
<v Speaker 3>for president, because she'd said that a couple of years ago.

0:33:33.040 --> 0:33:34.480
<v Speaker 2>I think it was twenty twenty one.

0:33:35.000 --> 0:33:39.840
<v Speaker 3>But surely she hasn't changed her values dramatically from twenty

0:33:39.920 --> 0:33:40.440
<v Speaker 3>twenty one.

0:33:40.960 --> 0:33:42.440
<v Speaker 2>She was hardly young and naive.

0:33:42.560 --> 0:33:46.640
<v Speaker 3>She was vice president, and that's what she thought of

0:33:47.040 --> 0:33:47.920
<v Speaker 3>the country that.

0:33:49.440 --> 0:33:51.840
<v Speaker 2>She lives in that her parents emigrated to.

0:33:52.480 --> 0:33:57.520
<v Speaker 3>Now to a rather interesting development, Kamala Harris. Supporters of

0:33:58.800 --> 0:34:01.479
<v Speaker 3>referred to this books she wrote back in two thousand

0:34:01.520 --> 0:34:04.680
<v Speaker 3>and nine called Smart on Crime. This is when she

0:34:04.800 --> 0:34:08.040
<v Speaker 3>was a serving as a district attorney. They say this

0:34:08.160 --> 0:34:11.480
<v Speaker 3>is evidence that she's not soft on crime. She gets it.

0:34:11.920 --> 0:34:15.160
<v Speaker 3>But it's been revealed that numerous sections from that book

0:34:15.200 --> 0:34:19.520
<v Speaker 3>appear to have been plagiarized. Chris Ruffo, The Man who

0:34:19.560 --> 0:34:25.480
<v Speaker 3>exposed the plagiarism scandal at Harvard president Claudine Gayazer since

0:34:25.520 --> 0:34:29.799
<v Speaker 3>a stepped down, Well, he's published the allegations on x

0:34:30.280 --> 0:34:36.360
<v Speaker 3>following an investigation by Austrian plagiarism hunter Stefan Weber. The

0:34:36.520 --> 0:34:39.840
<v Speaker 3>cited passages, I've got to say, Josh, from the book,

0:34:40.920 --> 0:34:45.520
<v Speaker 3>it's remarkable some of them closely resemble or perfectly match

0:34:45.680 --> 0:34:50.200
<v Speaker 3>wording from other sources, including Wikipedia. Have a look at

0:34:50.239 --> 0:34:54.960
<v Speaker 3>this example. She's copied the source almost exactly. There's the

0:34:55.280 --> 0:35:00.239
<v Speaker 3>word additional has been added there. That's about it. How

0:35:00.280 --> 0:35:03.760
<v Speaker 3>long before the lift is media covered this scandal, because

0:35:03.760 --> 0:35:07.719
<v Speaker 3>this is a genuine story, and I think a lot

0:35:07.760 --> 0:35:10.880
<v Speaker 3>of them are scared to even approach it. Some of

0:35:10.920 --> 0:35:14.520
<v Speaker 3>them are covering it as far as the Republicans reacting

0:35:14.560 --> 0:35:17.440
<v Speaker 3>to this story as opposed to the story itself.

0:35:19.400 --> 0:35:21.680
<v Speaker 12>So, first of all, credit to my friend Chris Rufo,

0:35:21.719 --> 0:35:23.920
<v Speaker 12>who I've known for years and he is one of

0:35:24.000 --> 0:35:26.600
<v Speaker 12>by far the most effective conservative activists that we have

0:35:26.760 --> 0:35:30.399
<v Speaker 12>here in America. He basically almost single handedly took down

0:35:30.480 --> 0:35:32.759
<v Speaker 12>Clauding Gay when she was president of Harvard for her

0:35:32.760 --> 0:35:35.959
<v Speaker 12>own plagiarism scandals, and he's trying to do it again

0:35:36.040 --> 0:35:39.800
<v Speaker 12>here with Kamala Harris. So fantastic work by Chris. Look,

0:35:40.120 --> 0:35:43.239
<v Speaker 12>if there is any justice in the world, this would

0:35:43.239 --> 0:35:46.400
<v Speaker 12>be a gargantuan story because the evidence, as we just

0:35:46.440 --> 0:35:50.359
<v Speaker 12>saw on the screen for all the viewers is absolutely overwhelming.

0:35:50.560 --> 0:35:52.440
<v Speaker 12>And you know, some people say, oh, she was a

0:35:52.480 --> 0:35:54.759
<v Speaker 12>public figure. She probably just had a ghostwriter.

0:35:55.120 --> 0:35:55.480
<v Speaker 9>Guess what.

0:35:56.040 --> 0:35:58.920
<v Speaker 12>I also ghost wrote a book for Senator Ted Cruz

0:35:58.960 --> 0:36:01.239
<v Speaker 12>in twenty twenty. Ghost writer is overstanding it. We worked

0:36:01.320 --> 0:36:04.200
<v Speaker 12>very closely on it. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter

0:36:04.239 --> 0:36:06.800
<v Speaker 12>who is helping you on it. It matters who actually

0:36:06.840 --> 0:36:09.440
<v Speaker 12>publishes it under their own line. The bucks stops with

0:36:09.560 --> 0:36:13.400
<v Speaker 12>the person right there. And Kamala Harris is a plagiarizer.

0:36:13.480 --> 0:36:15.640
<v Speaker 12>Kamala Harris, by the way, just like Joe Biden, who

0:36:15.719 --> 0:36:18.320
<v Speaker 12>himself subsequently admitted to plagiarizing back when he was in

0:36:18.400 --> 0:36:22.520
<v Speaker 12>law school, which he did, Kamala Harras has plagiarized large

0:36:22.560 --> 0:36:25.560
<v Speaker 12>swaths here from no less a source than Wikipedia itself. Look,

0:36:25.600 --> 0:36:27.160
<v Speaker 12>I remember when I was in high school and they

0:36:27.160 --> 0:36:29.520
<v Speaker 12>would literally tell me in research class in high school,

0:36:29.560 --> 0:36:33.120
<v Speaker 12>do not cite Wikipedia. It is non authoritative source. Wants

0:36:33.120 --> 0:36:35.080
<v Speaker 12>to be leader of the free world, and she is

0:36:35.120 --> 0:36:38.320
<v Speaker 12>going ahead and sloppily signing it, in many cases actually

0:36:38.400 --> 0:36:40.600
<v Speaker 12>misquoting the statistics from Wikipedia.

0:36:40.640 --> 0:36:42.640
<v Speaker 9>There. It is a gargantuan story.

0:36:42.640 --> 0:36:45.120
<v Speaker 12>It cuts to the very core of the Republican case

0:36:45.160 --> 0:36:47.600
<v Speaker 12>against Kamala Harris, namely that she is a dim witted

0:36:47.680 --> 0:36:50.480
<v Speaker 12>moron who is not fit to be local dogcatcher, let

0:36:50.480 --> 0:36:52.719
<v Speaker 12>alone to be commander in chief of the greatest military

0:36:52.760 --> 0:36:55.520
<v Speaker 12>the world has ever seen. So I think it's a

0:36:55.600 --> 0:36:58.200
<v Speaker 12>terrible story for her. Your question, of course, is the

0:36:58.239 --> 0:37:00.239
<v Speaker 12>valid one. The media will do everything they can to

0:37:00.280 --> 0:37:02.840
<v Speaker 12>sweep this under the rug. I'm not sure it's going

0:37:02.920 --> 0:37:05.440
<v Speaker 12>to be the positive difference in this election, but it

0:37:05.480 --> 0:37:07.399
<v Speaker 12>should make at least an impact. I think that Donald

0:37:07.400 --> 0:37:10.040
<v Speaker 12>Trump is already winning this election, so certainly he's already

0:37:10.040 --> 0:37:11.080
<v Speaker 12>in better shape because of this.

0:37:13.680 --> 0:37:16.000
<v Speaker 2>Josh Hammer, always a pleasure, Thanks for your time.

0:37:16.920 --> 0:37:17.520
<v Speaker 9>Thank you, reader.

0:37:18.200 --> 0:37:21.759
<v Speaker 3>Coming up, a leading international security expert joins me with

0:37:21.880 --> 0:37:25.520
<v Speaker 3>a warning about the biggest danger facing the West.

0:37:34.640 --> 0:37:35.319
<v Speaker 2>Welcome back.

0:37:35.400 --> 0:37:39.280
<v Speaker 3>Joining me now is author, academic and international security expert

0:37:39.360 --> 0:37:44.560
<v Speaker 3>doctor Max Abrams. Max, your field of expertise includes terrorism,

0:37:44.719 --> 0:37:46.200
<v Speaker 3>foreign policy.

0:37:46.280 --> 0:37:48.160
<v Speaker 2>And in particular the Middle East.

0:37:49.080 --> 0:37:52.520
<v Speaker 3>Right now, what do you see as the biggest threat

0:37:52.560 --> 0:37:56.440
<v Speaker 3>to the West, and are we in a uniquely vulnerable period.

0:37:57.520 --> 0:38:02.480
<v Speaker 1>This is a very interesting and interest time. We're basically

0:38:02.560 --> 0:38:09.920
<v Speaker 1>waiting for Israel to carry out its absolutely necessary attack

0:38:10.520 --> 0:38:15.560
<v Speaker 1>against Iran. Very recently, just a week or two go,

0:38:16.320 --> 0:38:21.000
<v Speaker 1>carried out the largest ballistic missile attack ever, and so

0:38:21.360 --> 0:38:27.080
<v Speaker 1>of course Israel is going to respond. Personally, I would

0:38:27.200 --> 0:38:31.160
<v Speaker 1>like to see Israel try to take out or at

0:38:31.200 --> 0:38:38.240
<v Speaker 1>least substantially degrade the Iranian nuclear facilities. My understanding, based

0:38:38.280 --> 0:38:41.720
<v Speaker 1>on public reports, is that that's not going to happen.

0:38:41.800 --> 0:38:46.320
<v Speaker 1>That the Biden White House is trying to rain Israel

0:38:46.440 --> 0:38:50.719
<v Speaker 1>in in order to limit its attack. But consider the

0:38:50.760 --> 0:38:55.040
<v Speaker 1>possibility of Iran having a nuclear weapon, and Iran is

0:38:55.040 --> 0:39:00.200
<v Speaker 1>basically on the threshold of that happening. It is often said,

0:39:00.239 --> 0:39:03.640
<v Speaker 1>but it is absolutely true that Iran is the number

0:39:03.680 --> 0:39:07.839
<v Speaker 1>one state sponsor in the world. Iran sponsors the WHU

0:39:07.960 --> 0:39:14.120
<v Speaker 1>thies Hamas Palestinian Islamic Jihad, has Bellah Iranian militia or

0:39:14.560 --> 0:39:19.600
<v Speaker 1>militia based in Iraq, and Iran has terrorist operatives all

0:39:19.640 --> 0:39:24.840
<v Speaker 1>over the world, in North America, in South America, in Europe.

0:39:25.680 --> 0:39:30.120
<v Speaker 1>So I see that as a very dangerous situation. I

0:39:30.160 --> 0:39:33.600
<v Speaker 1>think that a stronger response against rob and make the

0:39:33.680 --> 0:39:36.799
<v Speaker 1>world safer. But what's going to happen is that the

0:39:36.840 --> 0:39:40.480
<v Speaker 1>Israeli response is going to be somewhat rained in because

0:39:40.520 --> 0:39:44.480
<v Speaker 1>of pressure from the Biden White House. Then Iran is

0:39:44.520 --> 0:39:49.480
<v Speaker 1>going to respond, and depending on that the size of

0:39:49.560 --> 0:39:53.879
<v Speaker 1>that response that will dictate what Israel does next. If

0:39:54.200 --> 0:39:58.600
<v Speaker 1>the Iranian response is very large, if its mass casualty

0:39:58.840 --> 0:40:04.800
<v Speaker 1>attacks against Israeli civilians, then it's possible the Israelis would

0:40:05.040 --> 0:40:08.560
<v Speaker 1>ignore the Biden White House and go for the nuclear facility.

0:40:08.760 --> 0:40:14.879
<v Speaker 1>So this is a multiple iteration game and it's going

0:40:14.960 --> 0:40:18.359
<v Speaker 1>to play out over the next few weeks. But we're

0:40:18.400 --> 0:40:21.800
<v Speaker 1>at a very critical time period right now with respect

0:40:21.800 --> 0:40:25.720
<v Speaker 1>to whether the world is going to continue this Iranian threat.

0:40:28.080 --> 0:40:32.200
<v Speaker 3>Now, we've also had revelations from US intelligence officials of

0:40:32.239 --> 0:40:36.720
<v Speaker 3>a suspected Iranian plot to kill Donald Trump. Joe Biden

0:40:36.880 --> 0:40:40.680
<v Speaker 3>has responded to this. He is told the Iranian regime

0:40:40.719 --> 0:40:44.240
<v Speaker 3>that an assassination attempt against Donald Trump would be seen

0:40:44.320 --> 0:40:45.360
<v Speaker 3>as an act of war.

0:40:46.280 --> 0:40:48.040
<v Speaker 2>How seriously do you think.

0:40:47.840 --> 0:40:52.920
<v Speaker 3>The Iranian regime takes Joe Biden's words and why is

0:40:53.000 --> 0:40:58.440
<v Speaker 3>Iran so hell bent on preventing a second Trump term.

0:40:58.640 --> 0:41:02.320
<v Speaker 1>There's a very clear of friends moving forward in terms

0:41:02.320 --> 0:41:08.319
<v Speaker 1>of US policy toward Iran. Kamala Harris is basically seen

0:41:08.360 --> 0:41:12.640
<v Speaker 1>as an appeaser. She's much more pro Iran, and so

0:41:12.880 --> 0:41:17.480
<v Speaker 1>it's not that surprising really that Iran would take out

0:41:17.600 --> 0:41:21.920
<v Speaker 1>Donald Trump. Trump was very hardline against Iran last time

0:41:22.160 --> 0:41:26.800
<v Speaker 1>he was president. He slapped on those those maximum pressure

0:41:27.200 --> 0:41:32.400
<v Speaker 1>economic sanctions against Iran towards the end of his administration.

0:41:32.760 --> 0:41:35.920
<v Speaker 1>Towards the end of his term, he authorized taking out

0:41:35.960 --> 0:41:41.200
<v Speaker 1>the head of the Islamic Revolutionary Guardcore Soulamani, and so

0:41:41.600 --> 0:41:46.600
<v Speaker 1>ever since then, Iran has been a legitimate threat of

0:41:46.640 --> 0:41:52.480
<v Speaker 1>targeting not just Trump but also his administration. And so

0:41:52.880 --> 0:41:57.040
<v Speaker 1>I think that this is a very interesting development that

0:41:57.080 --> 0:42:01.680
<v Speaker 1>it's publicly disclosed that Iran, you know, is buying the

0:42:01.800 --> 0:42:06.480
<v Speaker 1>possibility or at least wants to take out Donald Trump.

0:42:06.719 --> 0:42:11.840
<v Speaker 1>But I also want American citizens to ask themselves the

0:42:11.960 --> 0:42:17.320
<v Speaker 1>question why is it that Iran so much favors Kamala Harris.

0:42:17.840 --> 0:42:21.040
<v Speaker 1>And I don't think that when you ask that question,

0:42:21.440 --> 0:42:26.000
<v Speaker 1>it's indicative of a solid foreign policy, because Iran, of

0:42:26.040 --> 0:42:30.879
<v Speaker 1>course is a US adversary. It's not just a US adversary,

0:42:31.200 --> 0:42:34.600
<v Speaker 1>but it's an adversary throughout the region. And I think

0:42:34.640 --> 0:42:38.600
<v Speaker 1>that if Trump were to win the presidency, he would

0:42:38.680 --> 0:42:44.960
<v Speaker 1>push the Abraham Accords, which are essentially a means of

0:42:45.360 --> 0:42:49.520
<v Speaker 1>containing Iran, and I think that Trump would have more

0:42:49.600 --> 0:42:53.960
<v Speaker 1>success in that than he's often given credit. Or I

0:42:53.960 --> 0:42:58.680
<v Speaker 1>would like to see thud Arabia join that coalition in

0:42:58.800 --> 0:43:02.799
<v Speaker 1>order to contain the Runnian threat. By contrast, I do

0:43:02.880 --> 0:43:06.960
<v Speaker 1>not see Kamala Harris as pushing the Abraham accurts at all,

0:43:07.880 --> 0:43:12.040
<v Speaker 1>and I see kind of a similar policy as we

0:43:12.080 --> 0:43:15.520
<v Speaker 1>saw under the Obama administration, which was a failure.

0:43:17.920 --> 0:43:21.040
<v Speaker 3>Well, that was my next question. You mentioned Kamala Harris

0:43:21.080 --> 0:43:25.680
<v Speaker 3>as an apesa. What would US foreign policy look like

0:43:25.960 --> 0:43:29.640
<v Speaker 3>under a Harris Walls administration, not just in the Middle East,

0:43:29.680 --> 0:43:34.480
<v Speaker 3>but in terms of China and other threats to the West.

0:43:35.840 --> 0:43:40.760
<v Speaker 1>Or the Trump administration is about the rise of China.

0:43:41.560 --> 0:43:45.200
<v Speaker 1>Kamala Harris was very recently asked about the main US

0:43:45.280 --> 0:43:50.000
<v Speaker 1>adversaries around the world, and she didn't even mention China.

0:43:51.640 --> 0:43:57.000
<v Speaker 1>There's a Elbridge Corby is widely believed to be potentially

0:43:57.640 --> 0:44:01.800
<v Speaker 1>a Defense secretary choice of Trump, And if you listen

0:44:01.880 --> 0:44:06.200
<v Speaker 1>to him, he is very much focused on the rise

0:44:06.280 --> 0:44:11.680
<v Speaker 1>of China, defending Taiwan, making sure that China doesn't aggrandize

0:44:11.960 --> 0:44:16.279
<v Speaker 1>the Pacific, as well as strengthening India in order to

0:44:16.440 --> 0:44:21.560
<v Speaker 1>act as a hedge against Chinese expansion in the Indo Pacific.

0:44:21.719 --> 0:44:25.200
<v Speaker 1>So that's another area where I think that Trump is

0:44:25.400 --> 0:44:29.520
<v Speaker 1>stronger than Kamala Harris. I think that Kamala, because of

0:44:29.640 --> 0:44:33.759
<v Speaker 1>the demographics and her constituency at home, would invest a

0:44:33.760 --> 0:44:37.480
<v Speaker 1>lot of energy in trying to work with Hamas and

0:44:37.760 --> 0:44:41.520
<v Speaker 1>trying to rekindle a peace process that isn't going to

0:44:41.560 --> 0:44:47.000
<v Speaker 1>work there. So Americans do have a real foreign policy choice.

0:44:47.040 --> 0:44:50.120
<v Speaker 1>I think that there would also be differences with respect

0:44:50.120 --> 0:44:53.640
<v Speaker 1>to the war in Ukraine. I think that the Biden

0:44:53.719 --> 0:44:58.719
<v Speaker 1>administration and Kamala Harris want to continue to perpetuate that war,

0:44:59.120 --> 0:45:02.160
<v Speaker 1>whereas I think that Donald Trump is much more interested

0:45:02.400 --> 0:45:06.279
<v Speaker 1>in ending it, even if it requires Ukraine making some

0:45:06.360 --> 0:45:11.240
<v Speaker 1>concessions to Russia. So there are a lot of different,

0:45:11.400 --> 0:45:13.520
<v Speaker 1>you know, balls in the air, and some very clear

0:45:13.520 --> 0:45:15.880
<v Speaker 1>differences between the two main candidates.

0:45:18.120 --> 0:45:21.839
<v Speaker 3>Now, just finally, as a university professor, you would have

0:45:21.920 --> 0:45:26.920
<v Speaker 3>a great interest and insight into the leftist activism that

0:45:27.000 --> 0:45:30.960
<v Speaker 3>we see on university campuses across the West, not just

0:45:31.000 --> 0:45:36.840
<v Speaker 3>in the US. There is this anti Israeli protests, encampments,

0:45:36.920 --> 0:45:42.000
<v Speaker 3>just hostility towards what they call Zionists. What does that

0:45:42.160 --> 0:45:45.440
<v Speaker 3>mean for America and the West. It is the biggest

0:45:45.480 --> 0:45:48.040
<v Speaker 3>threat to us from within.

0:45:50.640 --> 0:45:53.640
<v Speaker 1>That's a good question, and I think that the answer

0:45:53.840 --> 0:45:58.080
<v Speaker 1>is yes. Remember throughout the Donald Trump presidency, the left

0:45:58.280 --> 0:46:02.040
<v Speaker 1>was always talking about how he's this right wing extremist

0:46:02.200 --> 0:46:06.279
<v Speaker 1>and how he, you know, is an anti Semite and

0:46:06.360 --> 0:46:10.040
<v Speaker 1>has dinner with an anti Semite, Nick Fuentes. And then

0:46:10.320 --> 0:46:14.480
<v Speaker 1>what happened right after Donald Trump during the Biden administration.

0:46:14.960 --> 0:46:20.560
<v Speaker 1>We've seen an unprecedented spike in anti Semitism under this

0:46:20.800 --> 0:46:25.400
<v Speaker 1>current president, and to a large extent, this manifests itself

0:46:25.440 --> 0:46:30.160
<v Speaker 1>in American cities, but most vividly on American campuses. And

0:46:30.480 --> 0:46:34.560
<v Speaker 1>make no mistake, it's not just you know, anti Israel position.

0:46:36.000 --> 0:46:39.400
<v Speaker 1>It's much worse than that. It is very much directed

0:46:39.640 --> 0:46:45.360
<v Speaker 1>against the Jewish students. And so they're targeting the hill Els,

0:46:45.400 --> 0:46:48.239
<v Speaker 1>you know, which is where the Jewish students go and

0:46:48.320 --> 0:46:53.759
<v Speaker 1>have Shabbat and celebrate you know, their religious Jewish holidays.

0:46:54.080 --> 0:46:58.439
<v Speaker 1>This is all part of the dominance of the far

0:46:58.600 --> 0:47:04.120
<v Speaker 1>left agenda in higher education. Higher ed is not just

0:47:04.280 --> 0:47:08.759
<v Speaker 1>anti jew, it's anti Hindu, it's anti way. You need

0:47:08.800 --> 0:47:13.120
<v Speaker 1>to be part of a very limited preferred group in

0:47:13.239 --> 0:47:16.440
<v Speaker 1>order to gain privilege. And if you don't have privilege

0:47:16.760 --> 0:47:20.879
<v Speaker 1>the university, you know, the administration, the faculty as well

0:47:20.920 --> 0:47:23.360
<v Speaker 1>as the students, they're going to punish you for it.

0:47:23.680 --> 0:47:27.040
<v Speaker 1>And I would certainly hope and expect that under a

0:47:27.080 --> 0:47:31.399
<v Speaker 1>Trump administration we wouldn't see that kind of left wing

0:47:31.440 --> 0:47:34.239
<v Speaker 1>extremism which has been such a big feature of the

0:47:34.239 --> 0:47:35.359
<v Speaker 1>Biden administration.

0:47:38.200 --> 0:47:41.239
<v Speaker 3>Absolutely, let's hope that is climed down on because I've

0:47:41.320 --> 0:47:47.040
<v Speaker 3>just been surprised by the permissive attitude so many university

0:47:47.040 --> 0:47:51.719
<v Speaker 3>administrators have had to this anti semitism. There's this ugliness

0:47:51.719 --> 0:47:57.200
<v Speaker 3>that they've allowed to infect their campuses. It's been a

0:47:57.239 --> 0:48:00.239
<v Speaker 3>worrying trender. Dr Max Abrams, thank you so much for

0:48:00.239 --> 0:48:03.560
<v Speaker 3>your time this evening, and that's it from May. I'll

0:48:03.600 --> 0:48:06.880
<v Speaker 3>see you at eleven tomorrow. Up next is Newsnight.
