00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:24,439
Speaker 1: They always droll.

Speaker 3: Field brings us to the latest from Hollywood where celebrities

Speaker 3: learn just how unpopular Justin Trudeau is.

16
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:50,959
Speaker 4: I mean, we love your mister Trudeau.

17
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:53,520
Speaker 5: I mean his fan has always been such a big

18
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:54,840
Speaker 5: fans of our fans.

19
00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:00,720
Speaker 3: But first fresh polling has revealed a surgeon support for

20
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:04,280
Speaker 3: Australia Day being celebrated on January twenty six. Despite the

21
00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:07,920
Speaker 3: Left's attempts to demonize our national holiday, it continues to

22
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 3: enjoy majority support it always has and that support is

23
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 3: growing sixty nine percent of Australians agree that Australia Day

24
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 3: should be held on January twenty six, compared to sixty

25
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:22,560
Speaker 3: three percent in last year's poll commissioned by the Institute

26
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:26,319
Speaker 3: of Public Affairs, and this figure includes a ten percent

27
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:29,600
Speaker 3: increase in support for the day amongst eighteen to twenty

28
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:33,959
Speaker 3: four year olds, an age bracket that typically leans heavily left.

29
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:36,840
Speaker 1: Joining me now with more on this is Deputy Executive

30
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 1: director of the IPA, Dan Wild. Dan tell me more

31
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 1: about what this polling revealed.

32
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, Rita, Look what.

33
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 6: It shows is that we're getting a surge and support

34
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 6: for Australia Day on the twenty sixth of January. As

35
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 6: you mentioned, it's being driven by young Australians, those aged

36
00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 6: eighteen to twenty four, which is really significant. They are

37
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 6: rebelling against political correctness. They've had a gutful of it

38
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 6: because they've been presented with a very negative, one sided

39
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:08,960
Speaker 6: view of our history and our culture at school and

40
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:12,120
Speaker 6: at university and they're just over it and they're saying

41
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 6: that they want to support the national Day along with

42
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:17,520
Speaker 6: the rest of the population. What's so significant about this

43
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 6: survey this year region and we've been doing this for

44
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:23,799
Speaker 6: seven years now. Is it's the first time that we've

45
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:27,800
Speaker 6: had every single age group with majority support of our

46
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:30,639
Speaker 6: national Day. It's a very significant moment in our national

47
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 6: history and what it shows is that Australia Day is

48
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:36,520
Speaker 6: back in a very big way and Australians are over

49
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:40,720
Speaker 6: this wokeness, They're over political correctness and I think that we.

50
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:42,920
Speaker 4: Just want to get on with it and celebrate our

51
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 4: national Day.

52
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 3: You know what, Anthony ALBERNEEZI has plenty of criticism, including

53
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 3: from me, for the referendum. Nobody wanted the race based referendum,

54
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:57,240
Speaker 3: but I wonder whether in the long term is done

55
00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 3: the country a favor because it's starts to address some

56
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 3: of these issues that have been ignored, where the majority

57
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 3: opinion was ignored, and now the majority have had their

58
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:10,520
Speaker 3: voices heard through the referendum.

59
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 1: And they're demanding further changes.

60
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:14,080
Speaker 3: They want to get rid of this racial division, this

61
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:20,399
Speaker 3: ridiculous agenda that the left is pushing that is just divisive.

62
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:23,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, you spot on.

63
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:26,640
Speaker 6: I think that in hindsight, the referendum was a very

64
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 6: good thing for our nation because it did force us

65
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:31,679
Speaker 6: to think about, well, what does it mean to be

66
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 6: an Australian and so we had to ask these tough

67
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 6: questions that often were not asked, and a majority of Australians,

68
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 6: a strong majority, said they don't want racial division. And

69
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 6: it wasn't just a left right thing. Almost forty percent

70
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 6: of those who voted no were labor voters, or forty

71
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 6: percent of labor voters voted no, So it was across

72
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 6: the political spectrum. And since then what we've seen is

73
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 6: a real pushback against the work corporations will Worst backing down,

74
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 6: the Australia Venue Company, the pub conglomerate backing down, the

75
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 6: UK or the Commissioner to the UK, Stephen Smith backing down.

76
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 6: So we've seen this across the board. Sporting codes member

77
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 6: Cricket Australia are now coming out and supporting Australia Day.

78
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:16,360
Speaker 6: It was only a few years ago that they supported

79
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 6: Black Lives Matter and remember when all the cricketers were

80
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 6: standing around in a circle of bare feet to take

81
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:25,600
Speaker 6: on racial injustice. Now Australia Day is back on the

82
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 6: agenda for Cricket Australia. So I think we're seeing a

83
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:32,920
Speaker 6: really big energy shift in our nation around our values,

84
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 6: our flag and our national day. And I think it's

85
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 6: incredibly encouraging.

86
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 3: Absolutely Now Peter Darton has revealed his policy agenda for

87
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:46,679
Speaker 3: the upcoming election under the banner of get Australia back

88
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 3: on track.

89
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 1: His promised to lower taxes.

90
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:53,599
Speaker 3: And eliminate or at least reduce the red and Green

91
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:57,720
Speaker 3: tape that is preventing private enterprises from investing in Australia

92
00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:00,359
Speaker 3: and getting us out of the cost of lif living

93
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:03,240
Speaker 3: crisis is probably the number one issue going into the

94
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 3: federal election. Some of these reforms is announced include expediting

95
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:12,040
Speaker 3: gas developments, slashing government spending and having approval times.

96
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 1: For resource projects.

97
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:16,680
Speaker 3: Dan this is all music to my ears, But is

98
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 3: this going to be a winning formula going into an

99
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:23,479
Speaker 3: election when you've got a first term government. It's unusual

100
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 3: for Australians to get rid of a first term government.

101
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:31,719
Speaker 6: It is unusual, but it's also an unusually bad government.

102
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:35,240
Speaker 6: So I think there's every chance Anthony Ibnezi could lose.

103
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 6: If there ever was a government to go down in

104
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 6: one term, that would be this one. Of course, in

105
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:45,720
Speaker 6: twenty ten, the rad Gillard government almost went down basically.

106
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:46,480
Speaker 4: Abbot got them to a draw.

107
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:49,360
Speaker 6: I think it'll be something probably fairly similar to that,

108
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:53,359
Speaker 6: I think that the agenda that Peter Dutton has outlined

109
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 6: is showing very important leadership across a number of areas,

110
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:59,599
Speaker 6: including in relation to education where he mentioned the politically

111
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:02,919
Speaker 6: driven ideology of our education system, of course is the

112
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:06,120
Speaker 6: energy system and nuclear power. So I think it's very encouraging.

113
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:09,800
Speaker 6: What I would say is the coalition needs to take a.

114
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:10,360
Speaker 4: Bit more risk.

115
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:13,159
Speaker 6: They can get over the line, but they're going to

116
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:16,120
Speaker 6: need to take more risks, particularly around migration. Their migration

117
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:18,039
Speaker 6: policy is a good policy, but they need to go

118
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:20,120
Speaker 6: a bit further with that, and I also think they

119
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:22,840
Speaker 6: need to show now they need to tell Australians well,

120
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:24,640
Speaker 6: what are you going to get on day one? What

121
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 6: are you going to get on day one of a government?

122
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 6: To ease the cost of living, to rain back on migration,

123
00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 6: and to help achieve social cohesion. Those are the three

124
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 6: big issues. So I think in terms of the unofficial

125
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 6: start of the campaign, it's a very good start and

126
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:39,920
Speaker 6: hopefully they build on this by having a bit more

127
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 6: ambition as we head towards the actual election, which will

128
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:45,120
Speaker 6: probably be late March early April.

129
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:50,840
Speaker 3: Absolutely, I think that is fantastic advice to have some

130
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 3: courage conservatives need to have courage and need to be

131
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:58,080
Speaker 3: clear in articulating their message, and there are policies that

132
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 3: are just easy for conservatives to explain to the electorate

133
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:05,880
Speaker 3: where they will have overwhelming majority support. A lot of

134
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 3: those are the so called cultural war issues, something that

135
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 3: Donald Trump capitalized on, and you'd love to see that

136
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:16,840
Speaker 3: locally you have a political leader come out and say

137
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 3: clearly that women deserve to have their own spaces. We

138
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:23,040
Speaker 3: know what a woman is, we know what a man is,

139
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 3: and men don't belong in women's sport.

140
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:27,680
Speaker 1: These are simple statements that.

141
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:31,120
Speaker 3: The overwhelming majority of the country agree with, but certainly

142
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 3: in states like Victoria, you've got both the liberals and

143
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:37,720
Speaker 3: the labor government on the same side of the activist

144
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 3: who may represent maybe ten percent of the population. And

145
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 3: talking about Victoria, there's been a damning report by energy

146
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 3: expert Professor Paul Simschauser who's warning that Victoria's renewables push

147
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:55,080
Speaker 3: is going to see demand outweighing renewable energy supply by

148
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:58,960
Speaker 3: more than thirty percent this coming winter, which could make

149
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:03,080
Speaker 3: Victoria's power devices even more expensive. And of course you've

150
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:04,680
Speaker 3: also got the risk of blackouts there.

151
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 6: Dan, Yeah, well, there will be blackhoats if those numbers

152
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:12,840
Speaker 6: are correct. And you know what we've what we've seen, now,

153
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:15,240
Speaker 6: what was I mean, We've been warning about this for years,

154
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 6: you know, I mean we've been how long we've been

155
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:19,840
Speaker 6: talking about this issue, which is you know, Victoria is

156
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:23,560
Speaker 6: ground zero for net zero. They've gone faster and harder

157
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 6: than any other state with this climate zealotry. And it's

158
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:27,880
Speaker 6: got to be said that the Liberals have been as

159
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 6: bad as labor, sometimes worse than labor on energy policy.

160
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:33,360
Speaker 6: And this is what happens when you get rid of

161
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:36,840
Speaker 6: your baselow power supplies, which is coal. You know, coal

162
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:39,720
Speaker 6: and gas is what gives you the capacity to operate

163
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:42,320
Speaker 6: an energy system twenty four to seven, three sixty five

164
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:45,440
Speaker 6: days a year, rain, hail, or shine, and you replace

165
00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:48,760
Speaker 6: it with weather dependent, intermittent energy supplies from wind and solar.

166
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:52,079
Speaker 6: Of course, you're going to have these problems. It's totally predictable.

167
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:54,600
Speaker 6: I just don't understand for the life of me, while

168
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:58,000
Speaker 6: we keep going down this path. Obviously, this was always

169
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,520
Speaker 6: going to happen, and I think what we need it's

170
00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:02,000
Speaker 6: just a common sense energy policy.

171
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:02,800
Speaker 4: Sure, if you want to have.

172
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:04,839
Speaker 6: Some wind and solar where it's sensible, Go do that,

173
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:06,760
Speaker 6: but you're going to have to have at least eighty

174
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:09,800
Speaker 6: percent of your energy system based on coal or gas,

175
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:13,600
Speaker 6: or in certain circumstances, hydro where it makes sense. Otherwise

176
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:16,320
Speaker 6: you're going to have high prices and blackout risks. So look,

177
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:18,439
Speaker 6: the chickens are now coming home to roost the very

178
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:21,720
Speaker 6: bad policy decisions that have been taken over the past

179
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:22,480
Speaker 6: decade plus.

180
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 3: Now, Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, has

181
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:32,119
Speaker 3: told its employees that it will be dismantling its DEI

182
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:36,080
Speaker 3: that's a diversity, equity and Inclusion team due to a

183
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:39,439
Speaker 3: shift in the legal and policy landscape in the US,

184
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:43,200
Speaker 3: announcing that it doesn't want there to be any impression

185
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:46,800
Speaker 3: that people were being hired based on race, or gender

186
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:51,439
Speaker 3: or other diversity factors. A Meta Australia spokesperson has told

187
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:54,560
Speaker 3: The Australian Financial Review that the company's new mantra is

188
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:59,920
Speaker 3: to create a cognitively diverse workforce. We will always value

189
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:05,079
Speaker 3: teams with differences in knowledge, skills, political views, backgrounds, perspectives

190
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 3: and experiences, the company has said dan this is another

191
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:15,600
Speaker 3: impact of the Trump landslide. These companies know that these

192
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:20,680
Speaker 3: policies are discrimination. You might call it positive discrimination, reverse discrimination,

193
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 3: but it's just discrimination. And you're basically saying that other

194
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:29,040
Speaker 3: factors other than merit are going to get people over

195
00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:31,480
Speaker 3: the line to get that coveted job.

196
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:34,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's right.

197
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:37,720
Speaker 6: I mean, there's something positive about discrimination. I've never understood

198
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 6: the term positive discrimination. It's sort of a weasel word

199
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:42,199
Speaker 6: that they used to use to get away with it,

200
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:45,080
Speaker 6: you know. I mean, firstly, this is an admission that

201
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:47,560
Speaker 6: Facebook has been doing that, that they have been meta

202
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:51,720
Speaker 6: have been discriminating based on political views and based on

203
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:56,040
Speaker 6: characteristics like race, ethnicity, or gender. And you shouldn't do

204
00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:58,320
Speaker 6: that as a company. Now, if you want to be

205
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:01,000
Speaker 6: discerning in terms of skills and knowledge, of course you

206
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:02,480
Speaker 6: can do that as a company, but you shouldn't be

207
00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 6: doing it based on political views. But I think this

208
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:08,320
Speaker 6: is an incredibly important development. I welcome it and encourage it,

209
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:11,160
Speaker 6: and I hope more corporates go down this path because

210
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:15,319
Speaker 6: we're all fed up with this diversity, equity and inclusion.

211
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:17,560
Speaker 6: People should be hired on their capacity to make a

212
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:20,960
Speaker 6: contribution and to do a good job, regardless of their background.

213
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:23,720
Speaker 6: That's one of the basic fundamentals of our society. I

214
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:26,040
Speaker 6: think that you're right that this is the Trump effect,

215
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:28,720
Speaker 6: and it certainly he's not even president yet, he's President

216
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:32,959
Speaker 6: elects and they're already starting to change their corporate policy.

217
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 6: So I really hope we start to see this in Australia.

218
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:37,960
Speaker 6: We should hire based on merit, not based on any

219
00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:40,240
Speaker 6: other characteristics. So you know, I think this is a

220
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:42,440
Speaker 6: very welcomed and positive development.

221
00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:48,439
Speaker 3: Absolutely, and again this can be something our conservative politicians

222
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:51,280
Speaker 3: are both at state and federal level, could emprace because

223
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:55,360
Speaker 3: I think it would enjoy enormous popularity. Most people do

224
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:58,480
Speaker 3: not like these sort of policies being instituted in their

225
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:02,240
Speaker 3: workplaces or anywhere else. Staying in the US, Donald Trump

226
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:05,960
Speaker 3: has lashed at at California Governor Gavin Newsom and la

227
00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:09,440
Speaker 3: met Karen Bass over the states lack of preparedness for

228
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:14,680
Speaker 3: the catastrophic wildfires ravaging the state. Trump wrote on truth

229
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:19,360
Speaker 3: Cecial the fires are still raging in LA, then competent politicians.

230
00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:20,480
Speaker 1: Have no idea how to put them out.

231
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:23,079
Speaker 3: This is one of the worst catastrophes in the history

232
00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:26,640
Speaker 3: of our country. They just can't put out the fires.

233
00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:31,680
Speaker 3: What's wrong with them? Dan There has clearly been massive

234
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:38,559
Speaker 3: failure here with forest management, water management, with properly resourcing

235
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:42,080
Speaker 3: the fire department, those deipolicies we spoke about. They seem

236
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:46,320
Speaker 3: to be preoccupied with that rather than actually being prepared

237
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:49,360
Speaker 3: to fight these fires. And it's California, They're always going

238
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:54,319
Speaker 3: to have wildfires or bushfires as we call them.

239
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's right.

240
00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:57,400
Speaker 6: I mean, look, nobody cares about the color or the

241
00:12:57,400 --> 00:12:59,880
Speaker 6: gender of a firefighter, right. They want the fire put

242
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:02,720
Speaker 6: out and they want to be kept safe. You know,

243
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:04,560
Speaker 6: there's always going to be challenges no matter how hard

244
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:07,040
Speaker 6: you work, some fires can get out of control. But

245
00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:10,800
Speaker 6: clearly this has been widespreading competence. As you mentioned, I

246
00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:13,040
Speaker 6: don't understand how they can't have enough water. I mean,

247
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:14,880
Speaker 6: how is that possible? Don't have enough water coming out

248
00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:19,680
Speaker 6: the fire hydrants. That's just unbelievable that that could happen.

249
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:21,600
Speaker 6: But that's what happens when you have a state that's

250
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:24,680
Speaker 6: run based on woke identity politics rather than based on

251
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:28,080
Speaker 6: actually dealing with the issues that people are concerned with.

252
00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:30,360
Speaker 6: What I have found so fascinating is I don't think

253
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:33,600
Speaker 6: anyone of any sort of credibility has really blamed these

254
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:36,719
Speaker 6: bush fires on climate change. You know, I know there's

255
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:38,800
Speaker 6: probably a couple of academics out there that have done it,

256
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:41,680
Speaker 6: but I already think the debate is starting to change

257
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:44,920
Speaker 6: around climate change as well. More and more people understand

258
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:47,520
Speaker 6: that it's to do with preparing the ground. So you

259
00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:50,880
Speaker 6: need to have proper burnoffs and native vegetation management and

260
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:52,840
Speaker 6: so forth, which often you can't do because of the

261
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:55,160
Speaker 6: red and Green tape. You've got to have the reservoirs

262
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:57,440
Speaker 6: which are for You've got to have fire access and

263
00:13:57,520 --> 00:13:59,960
Speaker 6: road access to deal with these things. So, you know,

264
00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:02,720
Speaker 6: I really hope people stay safe, and I know there's

265
00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:05,280
Speaker 6: over twenty casualties so far and I hope that doesn't climb.

266
00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:08,240
Speaker 6: But in terms of the politics of it, it sort

267
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:10,480
Speaker 6: of feels like the debate has changed around climate change

268
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:12,160
Speaker 6: as well. When look, I think that's going to be

269
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:15,960
Speaker 6: a positive development as well, and.

270
00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:19,160
Speaker 3: Hopefully again that feeds through to Australia because we've got

271
00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:22,040
Speaker 3: the exact same issues. We've got people in the bush

272
00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:25,400
Speaker 3: who say there's no back burning happening, the fuel loads

273
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:28,600
Speaker 3: are out of control, and when a fire does come,

274
00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:31,400
Speaker 3: it's going to burn more intensely than it should. It's

275
00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:33,000
Speaker 3: going to be harder to put out. So we've got

276
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:36,640
Speaker 3: those exact same issues here, Dan, and let's just hope

277
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:39,400
Speaker 3: that we're learning from what's happening in California.

278
00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:41,440
Speaker 1: Dan Wile, thank you so much for your time this evening.

279
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:44,800
Speaker 1: Now it's time for.

280
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:48,240
Speaker 3: Lefties losing it, and we have so much content. The

281
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:51,960
Speaker 3: lefties have been extra crazy over the Christmas break, so

282
00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:55,960
Speaker 3: get ready for a barrage of woke lunacy. Let's start

283
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:59,280
Speaker 3: in Canada, where the neo Marxist timbo himself, Justin Trudeau

284
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:04,000
Speaker 3: finally realized how loathe he is and he is stepping down.

285
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:06,640
Speaker 3: I wonder if over the last few months there were

286
00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:09,200
Speaker 3: any clues to his unpopularity.

287
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:13,000
Speaker 1: Take it away, rock legend, Mick Jagger, I.

288
00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:14,800
Speaker 4: Mean we love your mister Trudeau.

289
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:17,760
Speaker 6: I mean his fan has always been such big fans

290
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:18,560
Speaker 6: about fanis.

291
00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:34,960
Speaker 3: By the way, congratulations on the Canadian socer team.

292
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:31,560
Speaker 7: In the.

293
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:38,560
Speaker 3: Very skillful of MiG there to just quickly change the

294
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:41,440
Speaker 3: topic to soccer as the Rolling Stones, I don't think

295
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:44,400
Speaker 3: are too used to hearing booing at their concerts.

296
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:47,920
Speaker 1: Justin Trudeau was a media darling.

297
00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:51,720
Speaker 3: The picture perfect progressive male feminist. But the people in

298
00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:56,600
Speaker 3: Canada have finally seen through him. He has caused untold

299
00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:58,440
Speaker 3: damage to the country.

300
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:00,239
Speaker 1: And Canadians are no longer shy about.

301
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:03,880
Speaker 3: Confronting him, whether it's in the streets or in a diner.

302
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:09,960
Speaker 8: Mister Prime Minister, please get the PC.

303
00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:12,960
Speaker 4: Have a wonderful day, man, you zuck.

304
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:23,920
Speaker 3: Now, many deranged folks have been utterly broken by Donald Trump.

305
00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:26,880
Speaker 3: And there are also those who we once thought were

306
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:32,520
Speaker 3: sane and mildly intelligent who have allowed TDS trumped arrangement

307
00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:37,000
Speaker 3: syndrome to completely destroy their standing among thinking people.

308
00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:39,400
Speaker 1: And no man better.

309
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:43,280
Speaker 3: Demonstrates that than Sam Harris, a member of the intellectual

310
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:43,920
Speaker 3: Dark Web.

311
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:48,840
Speaker 1: Remember that, but turns out he's just a massive hysteric.

312
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:54,000
Speaker 3: Here's Sam Harris, who's now a ballistic expert, apparently embarrasses

313
00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:57,080
Speaker 3: himself by questioning whether Donald Trump.

314
00:16:57,040 --> 00:16:58,640
Speaker 1: Was actually shot.

315
00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:03,760
Speaker 3: Even fellow TEDS sufferer Bill Maher was left shaking his head.

316
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:08,879
Speaker 9: I'm surprised that a rifle round making any degree of

317
00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:12,120
Speaker 9: contact with an ear wouldn't do more damage. I think

318
00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:16,800
Speaker 9: I think a shattered piece of shrapnel from a teleprompter

319
00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:19,320
Speaker 9: was far more likely to have done that to his

320
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:23,400
Speaker 9: ear than a rifle round. It's so silly well, he said,

321
00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:25,479
Speaker 9: if you said, what rifle rounds doing the human bodies?

322
00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:28,520
Speaker 9: I know, but like if it just hit it by

323
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:32,800
Speaker 9: the slightest possible degree, it just you know, it makes

324
00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:35,239
Speaker 9: much more sense. The guy behind, No, but I do

325
00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:39,480
Speaker 9: know there's no question there are rifle rounds. Fine, I

326
00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:42,320
Speaker 9: mean someone was killed. I'm not debating that at all.

327
00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:44,960
Speaker 1: He acknowledges that Corey actually died.

328
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:48,159
Speaker 3: I mean, what an absolute descries Sam Harris's these days.

329
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:50,920
Speaker 1: And if you think I'm being too hot on him,

330
00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:52,320
Speaker 1: remember this from.

331
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:54,600
Speaker 3: A couple of years ago when he said he didn't

332
00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:59,200
Speaker 3: even care if Hunter Biden had dead bodies in his basement.

333
00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:02,040
Speaker 1: This guys deranged, I mean Hunter Biden.

334
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:05,160
Speaker 9: At that point, Hunter Biden literally could have had the

335
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:09,080
Speaker 9: corpses of children in his basement. I would not have cared.

336
00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:12,159
Speaker 3: Right now, I'm going to bring you plenty on the

337
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:17,560
Speaker 3: suicidally stupid lefty policies that have devastated California and Hamstrong

338
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:21,760
Speaker 3: the ability of firefighters to fight fires. But first let's

339
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:26,000
Speaker 3: checking on a typical Californian lefters somehow finds a way

340
00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:29,679
Speaker 3: to blame Donald Trump for the fire response in a

341
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:34,240
Speaker 3: state where the Democrats enjoy a supermajority, so we should.

342
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:34,800
Speaker 1: Have seen this coming.

343
00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:39,400
Speaker 5: Instead of reaching out with compassion to the people in

344
00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:44,240
Speaker 5: my city, Los Angeles for losing everything and the fires,

345
00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:49,280
Speaker 5: miserable Trump and his cronies are politicizing it, of course,

346
00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:53,359
Speaker 5: for their own advantage. They're blaming Gavin Newson. They're blaming

347
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:57,280
Speaker 5: the Democrats. Funny, he doesn't blame the Red States for

348
00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:04,439
Speaker 5: hurricanes and tornadoes and floods. No, he's a miserable man

349
00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:06,320
Speaker 5: out for his own good. And by the way, he

350
00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:07,720
Speaker 5: doesn't live in climate change.

351
00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:08,359
Speaker 1: It's a hoax.

352
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:11,600
Speaker 5: So you know what we are in big trouble.

353
00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:14,360
Speaker 1: Where do you start.

354
00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:18,040
Speaker 3: Well, the difference between hurricanes and tornadoes and fires is

355
00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:21,919
Speaker 3: you can't cause a hurricane or tornado or fight a

356
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:25,639
Speaker 3: hurricane or tornado. You can only do a stella rescue

357
00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:26,800
Speaker 3: and recovery job.

358
00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:29,520
Speaker 1: Which Ron de Santa's and others like him managed to do.

359
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:33,639
Speaker 3: But you can do plenty to prevent the severity of fires,

360
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:38,800
Speaker 3: like managing the fuel loads, a forest management, water management,

361
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:43,200
Speaker 3: having a well resourced fire department plenty. Well, we'll speak

362
00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:45,800
Speaker 3: about that a little bit later, but first let's check

363
00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:49,359
Speaker 3: in on just how violently deranged the left have become

364
00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:54,840
Speaker 3: where they literally defend and indeed celebrate murder on the streets.

365
00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:59,919
Speaker 10: So the CEO of the multi billion dollar you know

366
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:03,600
Speaker 10: I did healthcare insurance company was shot and killed this

367
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:05,800
Speaker 10: morning in New York City. And I will say that

368
00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:09,760
Speaker 10: it is it is pretty tragic that the shooter was

369
00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:11,000
Speaker 10: only able to get one of them.

370
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:13,040
Speaker 4: But it's a good start. I mean, it's a good,

371
00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:16,800
Speaker 4: good foundation. Good. We can only only move up from here.

372
00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:19,520
Speaker 4: And before any of you come at me with oh

373
00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:23,160
Speaker 4: my god, I can't believe you'd say that, go for yourself. Seriously,

374
00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:24,920
Speaker 4: go for yourself.

375
00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:29,760
Speaker 3: Now, bring you worrying news about Rosie O'Donnell, who's teds

376
00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:32,879
Speaker 3: maybe causing an outbreak off herpes.

377
00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:35,840
Speaker 8: And look what I have on my lip. Everybody's been

378
00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:38,520
Speaker 8: saying you have herpes, You have herpes all this time.

379
00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:40,639
Speaker 8: And I never had a cold sore in my life,

380
00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:43,360
Speaker 8: and now I have a cold soar, and it makes

381
00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:46,119
Speaker 8: me think that perhaps this weird pimple that had a

382
00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:48,800
Speaker 8: tiny little head was a cold soar too.

383
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:49,600
Speaker 1: So I don't know.

384
00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:51,639
Speaker 8: I will let you know tomorrow if I do in

385
00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:55,360
Speaker 8: fact have herpes. As some of the taunting from the

386
00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:58,000
Speaker 8: MEGA people in the last.

387
00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:00,560
Speaker 11: Couple uh of weeks.

388
00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:03,840
Speaker 8: Hasn't it been fun, ladies and gentlemen, to be standing

389
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:09,960
Speaker 8: in direct opposition to everything he is and represents and

390
00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:14,000
Speaker 8: always happened and always will be.

391
00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:18,280
Speaker 1: She's right. The feud with President Donald Trump goes a

392
00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:21,320
Speaker 1: long way back, years and years. You might remember this

393
00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:22,680
Speaker 1: from twenty sixteen.

394
00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:27,760
Speaker 12: You've called women you don't like fat pigs, dogs, slavs,

395
00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:29,879
Speaker 12: and disgusting animals.

396
00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:31,760
Speaker 1: Your Twitter account.

397
00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:35,320
Speaker 9: Only rosio o'donald, No, it.

398
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:41,520
Speaker 1: Wasn't your Twitter account.

399
00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:49,439
Speaker 3: Now, let's check in with leftist Supreme Court Justice Katanji

400
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:54,639
Speaker 3: Brown Jackson. She's now made her Broadway debut, yes, in

401
00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:59,200
Speaker 3: a production called Anne Juliet, which is a queer twist.

402
00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:09,639
Speaker 1: On Romeo and Juliet. Of course it is female empowerment sick.

403
00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:11,960
Speaker 1: I like it too.

404
00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:14,520
Speaker 5: I think what I like about it is that I

405
00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:18,159
Speaker 5: am having it very strongly negative reaction to it, like

406
00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:20,640
Speaker 5: I hate it, which.

407
00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:23,680
Speaker 3: Makes me think it must be Oh, you'll remember that's

408
00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:25,800
Speaker 3: the woman who didn't know what a woman was. She

409
00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:28,560
Speaker 3: thought you had to have a biology degree to answer

410
00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:29,320
Speaker 3: that question.

411
00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:31,840
Speaker 1: Let's go to the next next clip.

412
00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:35,240
Speaker 3: It's pretty incredible and if you want to see the decay,

413
00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:38,800
Speaker 3: the lawlessness that exists in parts of America. Then this

414
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:44,119
Speaker 3: clip demonstrates it perfectly. Here you have thieves threatening to

415
00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:47,840
Speaker 3: call the cops on the storekeeper if he doesn't open

416
00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:50,000
Speaker 3: the doors so they can take their loot home.

417
00:22:56,760 --> 00:22:57,040
Speaker 1: Open.

418
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:27,040
Speaker 13: Okay there, glhead Cola.

419
00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:32,880
Speaker 3: The sense of entitlement is off the charts. Let's look

420
00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:35,560
Speaker 3: at a new Netflix program. I think this is a

421
00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:38,520
Speaker 3: movie that looks like it was made by the jokesters

422
00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:42,320
Speaker 3: at Babylon B. This is a true story. This is

423
00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:46,440
Speaker 3: not something they've made up. But I've got to say,

424
00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:49,560
Speaker 3: as lefties often do, they will destroy the telling of

425
00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:53,119
Speaker 3: this important story with their usual self delight and idiocy.

426
00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:58,960
Speaker 3: This is a movie called six Triple eight starring Oprah's president.

427
00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:02,080
Speaker 8: This is Simon is proven to be legistical nightmare.

428
00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:09,120
Speaker 1: The women's you mean the white women's, Amy col.

429
00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:15,840
Speaker 12: They did not send us because they thought we could

430
00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:16,320
Speaker 12: do it.

431
00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:18,480
Speaker 4: We are here because.

432
00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:20,440
Speaker 1: They are sure we cannot.

433
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:24,919
Speaker 3: Now to this attention saking victim who is complaining about

434
00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:30,720
Speaker 3: a wine tasting at a castle because he was misgendered again, our.

435
00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:34,080
Speaker 7: Server said yes, sir, when I was asking some questions,

436
00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:36,199
Speaker 7: and I said, oh no, no, no, I'm actually not

437
00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:39,920
Speaker 7: a sir. And instead of apologizing or I don't know

438
00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:42,239
Speaker 7: what else you would do other than apologize, they just

439
00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:46,160
Speaker 7: walked away, did not acknowledge what I said, just walked away.

440
00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:48,680
Speaker 7: We saw the server like whispering to a manager, and

441
00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:51,320
Speaker 7: a few minutes later the manager came over in a

442
00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:54,880
Speaker 7: really big smile, not acknowledging at all that the misgender

443
00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:57,479
Speaker 7: had happened. And I say, hey, look, the last person

444
00:24:57,640 --> 00:25:00,120
Speaker 7: they misgendered me and that really hurt. And they just

445
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:03,000
Speaker 7: walked away, and the manager said, oh, well, some people

446
00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:05,440
Speaker 7: just aren't as progressive as you. And then they gave

447
00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:08,040
Speaker 7: us a nice little chocolate that suggested they wanted our

448
00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:10,840
Speaker 7: money but didn't want to say sorry. So we left

449
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:12,800
Speaker 7: and got a full refund.

450
00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:13,440
Speaker 1: So they annoyed.

451
00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:16,720
Speaker 3: The servers got a free meal, and they're still complaining.

452
00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:20,200
Speaker 3: Let's go back to the devastating California fives and that

453
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:24,040
Speaker 3: DEI madness that has afflicted the estate, the far left

454
00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:29,000
Speaker 3: Democrat stronghold of California, where the LA Fire Department Assistant

455
00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:32,879
Speaker 3: Chief Christine Larson has made statements like this. When we

456
00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:35,800
Speaker 3: talk about woke lunacy, folks, this.

457
00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:36,320
Speaker 1: Is what we mean.

458
00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:39,679
Speaker 14: You want to see somebody that responds to your house,

459
00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:42,440
Speaker 14: your emergency, whether it's a medical call or a fire call,

460
00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:45,120
Speaker 14: that looks like you. It gives that person a little

461
00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:48,680
Speaker 14: bit more ease knowing that somebody might understand their situation better.

462
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:51,320
Speaker 14: Is she strong enough to do this? Or you couldn't

463
00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:54,000
Speaker 14: carry my husband out of a fire, which my response

464
00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:55,879
Speaker 14: is he got himself from the wrong place. If I

465
00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:57,800
Speaker 14: have to carry him out of a fire.

466
00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:03,879
Speaker 1: Where does one start.

467
00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:08,000
Speaker 3: I don't care if zero point five percent of firefighters

468
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:10,560
Speaker 3: a female. The last thing I and I think any

469
00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:13,359
Speaker 3: sane person cares about if face with a deadly fire,

470
00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:16,879
Speaker 3: is the diversity of those who are rescuing me.

471
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:18,600
Speaker 1: Can you believe she actually said there?

472
00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:20,840
Speaker 3: It doesn't matter if she can't carry a man to

473
00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:24,760
Speaker 3: safety because he shouldn't have got himself in the wrong place.

474
00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:27,440
Speaker 1: That's the attitude we've got in the fire department.

475
00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:31,120
Speaker 3: Now, let's check in with la Mayor Karen Bass, who

476
00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:35,160
Speaker 3: had these words of comfort for her constituents after returning

477
00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:36,520
Speaker 3: from an overseas junkard.

478
00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:39,640
Speaker 15: Do you owe citizens and apology for being absent while

479
00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:43,280
Speaker 15: their homes were burning? Do you regret coming the fire

480
00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:48,280
Speaker 15: department budget by millions of dollars, Madam, there have you

481
00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:53,240
Speaker 15: nothing to say today that? Have you absolutely nothing to

482
00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:57,400
Speaker 15: say to the citizens today? Elon Mosk says that you're

483
00:26:57,480 --> 00:27:04,520
Speaker 15: utterly incompetent. Are you considering your position, madam mayor have

484
00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:07,080
Speaker 15: you absolutely nothing to say to the citizens today who

485
00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:08,560
Speaker 15: are dealing with this disaster?

486
00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:12,480
Speaker 16: Now?

487
00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:15,280
Speaker 3: She promised she will not use her position for these

488
00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:19,600
Speaker 3: overseas trips, but she was gallivanting around Ghana when the

489
00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:23,640
Speaker 3: fires started. But the lefties are turning on each other

490
00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:26,800
Speaker 3: in California, here is La Fire Chief Chris and Cally

491
00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:30,439
Speaker 3: admitting that she has been failed by the City of

492
00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:31,240
Speaker 3: Los Angeles.

493
00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:33,480
Speaker 5: Does the City of Los Angeles fail you and your

494
00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:34,679
Speaker 5: department and our city?

495
00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:38,119
Speaker 12: It's my job to stand up as a chief and

496
00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:43,480
Speaker 12: exactly say justifiably what the fire department needs to operate

497
00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:45,480
Speaker 12: to meet the demands of the community.

498
00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:46,320
Speaker 17: Did they fail you?

499
00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:48,639
Speaker 12: That is our job and I tell you that's why

500
00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:50,560
Speaker 12: I'm here. So let's get us what we need so

501
00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:52,040
Speaker 12: firefighters can do their jobs.

502
00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:52,960
Speaker 1: Do they fail you?

503
00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:54,320
Speaker 6: Yes?

504
00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:58,679
Speaker 3: Still to come, they always roll. Alex Stein joins me

505
00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:01,679
Speaker 3: with the latest from the US AS, including increasing pressure

506
00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:05,840
Speaker 3: on Donald Trump to release all of the January six prisoners,

507
00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:14,200
Speaker 3: you're watching the Rita Panicky Show. Joining me now is

508
00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:17,520
Speaker 3: comedian and host of Prime Time with Alex Stein on

509
00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:21,720
Speaker 3: Blaze TV. Alex Stein, he is my second favorite Texan

510
00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:22,840
Speaker 3: in the world.

511
00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:23,440
Speaker 1: Alex.

512
00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:28,040
Speaker 3: Let's start with jd Vance, the incoming Vice president, has

513
00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:32,240
Speaker 3: said that Donald Trump will issue pardons for peaceful.

514
00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:35,320
Speaker 1: January six protesters only. Is that enough?

515
00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:39,320
Speaker 3: Should every January sixth prisoner now be released. They've been

516
00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:42,280
Speaker 3: behind bars for several years.

517
00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:45,480
Speaker 4: Reader they should all be pardoned on day one.

518
00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:48,440
Speaker 17: This is something that I'm very passionate about because there

519
00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:51,160
Speaker 17: was a lot of bad actors play that day, and

520
00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:53,960
Speaker 17: there's people that were pushed in there that didn't even

521
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:55,640
Speaker 17: know what they were doing, and there was a lot

522
00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:58,120
Speaker 17: of bad actors. And if Donald Trump does not pardon them,

523
00:28:58,120 --> 00:29:00,520
Speaker 17: because what it comes down to is whether they acted

524
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:04,840
Speaker 17: bad or not. Nobody that had a trial in Washington,

525
00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:06,560
Speaker 17: DC had a fair trial.

526
00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:09,200
Speaker 4: All of the trials were rigged against them.

527
00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:11,440
Speaker 17: So because of that, because they weren't on a level

528
00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:13,920
Speaker 17: playing field legally, and nothing was fair when it came

529
00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:16,840
Speaker 17: to the legal system, they all deserve a pardon, even

530
00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:20,680
Speaker 17: if they did something that would be considered violent. Because

531
00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:23,360
Speaker 17: none of them got a fair shake. So Donald Trump

532
00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:25,080
Speaker 17: has to do that, not just on day one, but

533
00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:27,640
Speaker 17: it has to get done very fast. People will give them,

534
00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:31,040
Speaker 17: the cabinets some time to get this done, but it

535
00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:33,680
Speaker 17: has to be done, and it needs to be a

536
00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:36,120
Speaker 17: high priority, probably the most important priority.

537
00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:41,760
Speaker 3: This is a big issue for a lot of Donald

538
00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:45,360
Speaker 3: Trump's supporters. This is something the media doesn't seem to understand.

539
00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:49,920
Speaker 3: This is not a secondary issue. The lawfare that has

540
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:54,120
Speaker 3: taken place in that country, not just against President Trump,

541
00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:57,440
Speaker 3: but also against his supporters, against conservatives.

542
00:29:58,080 --> 00:30:01,120
Speaker 1: That was a big issue in the election campaign.

543
00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:04,479
Speaker 3: And I think the supporters of Donald Trump expect to

544
00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:08,160
Speaker 3: see actions now. He's talked a big game and they

545
00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:10,600
Speaker 3: now want to want to see him follow through with

546
00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:11,719
Speaker 3: some of those promises.

547
00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:16,840
Speaker 17: You're exactly right, and he has to, I mean cash Mattel.

548
00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:18,960
Speaker 17: A lot of people in the cabinet. They know that

549
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:20,680
Speaker 17: nobody got a fair shake, and they know that a

550
00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:22,640
Speaker 17: lot of people's lives are ruined and just you know,

551
00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:25,680
Speaker 17: having the Department of Justice weaponize against American citizen.

552
00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:27,760
Speaker 4: Trump knows that the Department of.

553
00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:30,280
Speaker 17: Justice was weaponized against him, So he should be more

554
00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:33,040
Speaker 17: empathetic than anybody when it comes to January sixth, and

555
00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:35,080
Speaker 17: all those people were there because you know, they didn't

556
00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:38,440
Speaker 17: trust the election. And it's not Donald Trump's fault, but

557
00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:40,680
Speaker 17: I think that he can make it better and rectify it,

558
00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:44,240
Speaker 17: and he should use his power to do so.

559
00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:48,600
Speaker 3: Now there are reports that President Joe Biden, he's still president.

560
00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:51,200
Speaker 1: Is going to issue a preemptive.

561
00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:55,160
Speaker 3: Pardon for some of Donald Trump's enemies. He gave his

562
00:30:55,280 --> 00:31:00,360
Speaker 3: son Hunter sort of a preemptive one. He cleared of

563
00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:03,080
Speaker 3: all the charges he was facing in any charges he

564
00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:08,600
Speaker 3: may face, and this suggestions he might provide something similar

565
00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:14,440
Speaker 3: to the vice chairwoman of the January sixth Committee, Liz Cheney,

566
00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:15,400
Speaker 3: What do you think about that?

567
00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:19,400
Speaker 17: I mean, when it comes to Liz Cheney, this guy's

568
00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:21,120
Speaker 17: letting people out of Guntanamo obey.

569
00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:23,400
Speaker 4: I mean, there's nobody that Joe Biden won't pardon.

570
00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:25,760
Speaker 17: So the fact that he's going to pardon Liz Cheney,

571
00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:29,440
Speaker 17: I don't even care. You know, he's literally partnering some

572
00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:31,000
Speaker 17: of the most evil people in the world. So Liz

573
00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:36,200
Speaker 17: Cheney doesn't even move the scale in my opinion, and.

574
00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:40,080
Speaker 3: The number of people he is using his pardon powers

575
00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:43,280
Speaker 3: for is astonishing. We might look at that later in

576
00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:47,960
Speaker 3: the week, but some would say he's abusing that privilege. Well,

577
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:51,240
Speaker 3: he's certainly abusing it in the people he's selecting to pardon.

578
00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:54,480
Speaker 3: Special Counsel Jack Smith. I want to talk to you

579
00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:57,719
Speaker 3: about him, Alex. He's the man who was at the

580
00:31:57,800 --> 00:32:00,959
Speaker 3: forefront of the witch hunt against Donald Trump. He has

581
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:04,280
Speaker 3: now resigned from the Department of Justice after submitting his

582
00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:09,760
Speaker 3: final report yesterday. Donald Trump has reacted to his resignation.

583
00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:14,520
Speaker 3: He said that Smith was fired. He wrote on truth

584
00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:18,320
Speaker 3: Social Deranged. Jack Smith was fired today by the DOJ.

585
00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:21,760
Speaker 3: He is a disgrace to himself, his family, and his country.

586
00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:25,280
Speaker 3: After spending over one hundred million on the witch hunt

587
00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:29,640
Speaker 3: against Trump, he left town empty handed. And let's have

588
00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:32,960
Speaker 3: a listen to what incoming FBI Chief Cash Patel had

589
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:34,240
Speaker 3: to say about Smith.

590
00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:38,200
Speaker 2: A little while ago, the judge just unsealed documents in

591
00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:42,040
Speaker 2: the Jack Smith case down in Florida, which says the

592
00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:46,800
Speaker 2: prosecutors themselves have admitted to tampering with evidence, to moving

593
00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:51,200
Speaker 2: the very boxes from one location outside of DC to

594
00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:54,680
Speaker 2: South Florida before they ever even charged Donald Trump. How

595
00:32:54,840 --> 00:32:58,120
Speaker 2: in the world can you not be prosecuting and charging

596
00:32:58,280 --> 00:33:01,680
Speaker 2: these constitutional gangers that are at DOJ, and they learn

597
00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:04,880
Speaker 2: it from the same place, the top downs, the same ags,

598
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:07,880
Speaker 2: the same decks, the same FBI directors who are cheering

599
00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:12,040
Speaker 2: them on. Judge Cannon should be implementing actual contempt proceedings

600
00:33:12,440 --> 00:33:15,800
Speaker 2: against Jack Smith and the Department of Justice, flying to

601
00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:20,720
Speaker 2: a federal judge and withholding evidence of exclusion and innocence.

602
00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:21,360
Speaker 4: From Donald Trump.

603
00:33:21,560 --> 00:33:23,840
Speaker 2: Those contempt proceedings would be righteous and I'd like to

604
00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:26,360
Speaker 2: see those. Maybe we could put Jack Smith in prison.

605
00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:30,840
Speaker 1: Wow, that's Cash Ptel on the Benny Show.

606
00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:34,120
Speaker 3: What do you think, Alex Should Jack Smith end up

607
00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:34,960
Speaker 3: behind Boz?

608
00:33:36,600 --> 00:33:39,840
Speaker 17: I mean, honestly, I don't disagree with anything that Cash said.

609
00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:42,720
Speaker 17: I mean, these people have weaponized our Department of Justice

610
00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:45,520
Speaker 17: or what we call the Department of Injustice against American

611
00:33:45,560 --> 00:33:48,680
Speaker 17: citizens and the top American citizen, Donald Trump, and he

612
00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:49,800
Speaker 17: hasn't gotten a fair shake.

613
00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:51,360
Speaker 4: And that's why you could say that.

614
00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:55,280
Speaker 17: You know, his first term and the presidency was constantly

615
00:33:55,320 --> 00:33:59,200
Speaker 17: plagued by people like this attacking him and going after him,

616
00:33:59,200 --> 00:33:59,959
Speaker 17: trying to impede.

617
00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:02,640
Speaker 4: So people like this need to learn their lesson.

618
00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:05,080
Speaker 17: I don't know if they will actually prosecute them but

619
00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:07,400
Speaker 17: people need to stop messing with Donald Trump and try

620
00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:10,120
Speaker 17: to help him make this country great again. I mean,

621
00:34:10,160 --> 00:34:14,200
Speaker 17: California is on fire, we're having terrorist attacks, everybody's worried

622
00:34:14,200 --> 00:34:16,719
Speaker 17: for their lives readA. And that's not really just an

623
00:34:16,719 --> 00:34:17,600
Speaker 17: over exaggeration.

624
00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:18,200
Speaker 4: America.

625
00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:21,880
Speaker 17: We're just everything shifted and everybody's expecting something big to happen,

626
00:34:22,200 --> 00:34:25,040
Speaker 17: and we need these people to all come together, whether

627
00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:28,240
Speaker 17: they're liberal, it doesn't matter if they're conservative and support

628
00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:31,080
Speaker 17: the president. He's been elected in my opinion, three times

629
00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:33,880
Speaker 17: in a row, and definitely two times, so he deserves

630
00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:37,000
Speaker 17: America's respect, and people like Jack Smith see you later.

631
00:34:37,160 --> 00:34:39,439
Speaker 4: I would not want to switch positions with you right now.

632
00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:44,799
Speaker 3: Yes, the rubbish is taking itself out, but I think

633
00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:49,280
Speaker 3: you'd be naive to think the swamp, the bureaucracy, whatever

634
00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:52,840
Speaker 3: you want to call them, are going to say the

635
00:34:52,880 --> 00:34:56,920
Speaker 3: president has a mandate and we're going to implement his policies.

636
00:34:56,960 --> 00:35:00,480
Speaker 3: I think they're going to do everything that can straight

637
00:35:00,520 --> 00:35:04,080
Speaker 3: his agenda, to undermine him, to white hand him. But

638
00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:06,759
Speaker 3: I think this time around you're going to get a

639
00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:10,640
Speaker 3: very different Donald Trump. He's aware of what they're going

640
00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:13,000
Speaker 3: to do, and I think he's going to going there

641
00:35:13,120 --> 00:35:16,759
Speaker 3: fully equipped to deal with that bureaucracy, let's hope. So

642
00:35:17,160 --> 00:35:19,760
Speaker 3: there is a little bit of conflict within the MAGA

643
00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:24,960
Speaker 3: camp though, and it's continuing. Steve Bannon has slashed out

644
00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:30,040
Speaker 3: at Elon Musk, calling him evil. His slammed musk support

645
00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:35,280
Speaker 3: for the skilled worker visa program, which Silicon Valley loves,

646
00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:39,880
Speaker 3: and he said that he's planning to limit Musk's ability

647
00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:43,200
Speaker 3: to influence Donald Trump's agenda. He said, why do we

648
00:35:43,239 --> 00:35:46,320
Speaker 3: have South Africans, the most racist people on earth, white

649
00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:49,879
Speaker 3: South Africans making any comments at all on what goes

650
00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:54,560
Speaker 3: on in the United States, He told an Italian newspaper,

651
00:35:54,600 --> 00:35:55,600
Speaker 3: and he said, also.

652
00:35:55,440 --> 00:35:57,720
Speaker 1: Elon Musk should go back to South Africa.

653
00:35:57,840 --> 00:35:58,160
Speaker 4: Wow.

654
00:35:58,920 --> 00:36:03,799
Speaker 3: Is this causing many waves within the Trump camp? Or

655
00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:07,560
Speaker 3: are you always going to have some level of disagreement

656
00:36:07,600 --> 00:36:11,719
Speaker 3: even if it's a robust disagreement when you've got such

657
00:36:11,719 --> 00:36:14,719
Speaker 3: a big majority of people with different world views who

658
00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:19,840
Speaker 3: are fundamentally part of the Trump agenda, But they're not

659
00:36:19,840 --> 00:36:21,800
Speaker 3: going to agree on every topic every time.

660
00:36:23,760 --> 00:36:25,359
Speaker 17: No, you know, I don't want to go as far

661
00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:27,840
Speaker 17: as Steve ben and say that we need to deport

662
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:30,480
Speaker 17: Elon Musk, but a lot of conservatives have always been

663
00:36:30,520 --> 00:36:33,880
Speaker 17: kind of a little bit more wary of Elon because

664
00:36:33,880 --> 00:36:35,719
Speaker 17: you know, he's into neurallink, where he wants to hook

665
00:36:35,719 --> 00:36:38,839
Speaker 17: a computer up to your brain, and you know, to us,

666
00:36:38,960 --> 00:36:41,879
Speaker 17: that just seems kind of weird to normal human beings

667
00:36:41,920 --> 00:36:43,400
Speaker 17: that they're going to have a computer hooks to their

668
00:36:43,400 --> 00:36:45,720
Speaker 17: brain so they can park their tesla and listen.

669
00:36:45,840 --> 00:36:47,880
Speaker 4: Elon Musk has done so many great things when it

670
00:36:47,880 --> 00:36:49,279
Speaker 4: comes to free speech on X.

671
00:36:49,320 --> 00:36:51,480
Speaker 17: I love Elon Musk, but at the same time, you know,

672
00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:55,760
Speaker 17: he is a immigrant in our country and he's calling

673
00:36:55,800 --> 00:36:57,799
Speaker 17: the shots, some really important shots, So I think that

674
00:36:57,920 --> 00:37:01,480
Speaker 17: just makes people always skeptic call of you know, the

675
00:37:01,520 --> 00:37:04,239
Speaker 17: people that are in power. But honestly, when it comes

676
00:37:04,280 --> 00:37:06,520
Speaker 17: to Elon muss as long as he keeps Twitter where

677
00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:08,800
Speaker 17: I can survive on there, I'm going to respect Elon.

678
00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:11,080
Speaker 17: You know, he wants to go to Mars, so dang bad.

679
00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:13,960
Speaker 17: I think we need to worry about America first, you

680
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:15,440
Speaker 17: know what I mean, And I think we should put

681
00:37:15,440 --> 00:37:18,279
Speaker 17: America before Mars. But rather than that, Elon's a good

682
00:37:18,280 --> 00:37:21,279
Speaker 17: guy and I support him.

683
00:37:21,400 --> 00:37:22,760
Speaker 1: Now before you go, Alex.

684
00:37:22,880 --> 00:37:27,120
Speaker 3: Donald Trump has posted footage of his viral exchange with

685
00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:33,120
Speaker 3: that President Barack Obama at President Carter's funeral. I've got

686
00:37:33,120 --> 00:37:36,200
Speaker 3: to say, this is hilarious stuff, and I like to

687
00:37:36,239 --> 00:37:39,759
Speaker 3: believe it's pretty close to the actual discussion they had.

688
00:37:40,680 --> 00:37:46,120
Speaker 9: Well, mister president, for a second term. Bro, I'm very

689
00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:47,200
Speaker 9: nice to see.

690
00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:50,520
Speaker 10: Congratulations the hell you do it a lot.

691
00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:51,120
Speaker 4: Better, Dan Hell.

692
00:37:51,200 --> 00:37:53,400
Speaker 15: I bet I know when.

693
00:37:53,880 --> 00:37:57,600
Speaker 11: Totally well, come on, anyone could beat her.

694
00:37:59,239 --> 00:38:02,240
Speaker 4: I was just as a you know what happened.

695
00:38:02,560 --> 00:38:03,839
Speaker 9: He just didn't want to leave.

696
00:38:04,280 --> 00:38:07,359
Speaker 4: I know is what happened. I did what I could

697
00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:09,080
Speaker 4: to help her. She was for a singer.

698
00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:10,320
Speaker 13: Do you know what?

699
00:38:10,440 --> 00:38:11,400
Speaker 11: I realized.

700
00:38:13,360 --> 00:38:13,799
Speaker 17: So much?

701
00:38:14,480 --> 00:38:15,880
Speaker 4: I know she'll never forget me.

702
00:38:19,760 --> 00:38:21,960
Speaker 3: I wonder if one day we will have lip readers

703
00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:24,759
Speaker 3: tell us precisely what was said there. But what do

704
00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:29,080
Speaker 3: you think of the fact that, after everything Barack Obama

705
00:38:29,200 --> 00:38:35,080
Speaker 3: threw at Donald Trump, calling him a fascist, modern day hitler,

706
00:38:35,680 --> 00:38:38,160
Speaker 3: spreading all sorts of lies about him, even the most

707
00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:43,319
Speaker 3: debunked lies about the very fine people hoax, he sat

708
00:38:43,400 --> 00:38:47,680
Speaker 3: down and had to chat with him, was very very

709
00:38:47,719 --> 00:38:54,120
Speaker 3: friendly and polite. Is that a surprise or is everything

710
00:38:54,320 --> 00:38:56,400
Speaker 3: forgiven in the world of politics.

711
00:38:58,320 --> 00:38:59,919
Speaker 4: Well, I don't think anything's for again.

712
00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:03,000
Speaker 17: And there's no love loss between Barack Obama and Donald Trump.

713
00:39:03,040 --> 00:39:05,280
Speaker 17: But Barack is probably happy that he had an excuse

714
00:39:05,320 --> 00:39:07,239
Speaker 17: to not bring Michelle so he could just have a

715
00:39:07,280 --> 00:39:10,200
Speaker 17: boys trip with Donald And you saw him paling around

716
00:39:10,239 --> 00:39:13,200
Speaker 17: with George Bush. So you know, Barack Obama realizes that

717
00:39:13,200 --> 00:39:15,399
Speaker 17: they are in a special fraternity of men that very

718
00:39:15,440 --> 00:39:18,280
Speaker 17: few people are. You know, there's only been forty seven

719
00:39:18,320 --> 00:39:19,240
Speaker 17: presidents there.

720
00:39:19,280 --> 00:39:20,440
Speaker 4: I mean, let's excuse me.

721
00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:24,239
Speaker 17: There's been more presidents than that, less than that, but

722
00:39:24,280 --> 00:39:24,840
Speaker 17: I'm saying.

723
00:39:24,640 --> 00:39:27,000
Speaker 4: There's actually presidents before the first president there.

724
00:39:27,080 --> 00:39:29,040
Speaker 17: So you know, there's a lot of conspiracies behind how

725
00:39:29,080 --> 00:39:30,920
Speaker 17: many presidents you've ever had. And I'm saying that on

726
00:39:30,920 --> 00:39:33,040
Speaker 17: Sky News, but you got to look into that. But Rita,

727
00:39:33,120 --> 00:39:35,239
Speaker 17: I'm just saying they're in a very special fraternity. So

728
00:39:35,280 --> 00:39:36,840
Speaker 17: they're all kind of friends, you know at the end of.

729
00:39:36,840 --> 00:39:39,480
Speaker 1: The day, right, Yeah.

730
00:39:39,520 --> 00:39:42,960
Speaker 3: And I always got the feeling that Barack never really

731
00:39:43,080 --> 00:39:46,000
Speaker 3: rated Kamala Harris. He may have campaigned for her, but

732
00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:49,439
Speaker 3: I mean he's campaigning wasn't very helpful, but he never

733
00:39:49,520 --> 00:39:51,520
Speaker 3: thought he had his heart in it, just the same

734
00:39:51,560 --> 00:39:54,319
Speaker 3: with President Biden, and I think he really thought he

735
00:39:54,400 --> 00:39:55,239
Speaker 3: was up to it either.

736
00:39:55,600 --> 00:39:57,880
Speaker 1: Alex Stein, thank you so much for your time this evening.

737
00:39:59,080 --> 00:39:59,680
Speaker 4: Thank you, Rita.

738
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:02,360
Speaker 17: It's a pleasure and I missed you so Happy Holiday's,

739
00:40:02,360 --> 00:40:05,239
Speaker 17: Happy new Year. Let's go sky News, Thank you, Rita.

740
00:40:06,200 --> 00:40:08,719
Speaker 3: Still to come, we'll bring you the latest from Hollywood,

741
00:40:08,719 --> 00:40:12,160
Speaker 3: where celebrities are battling the deadly California fires.

742
00:40:12,239 --> 00:40:20,799
Speaker 1: Kinsey Schofield joins me next. Welcome back.

743
00:40:20,920 --> 00:40:25,680
Speaker 3: Joining me now is celebrity and rural commentator Kinsey Schofield. Kinsey,

744
00:40:26,239 --> 00:40:28,800
Speaker 3: let's hear from Joe Rogan and Mel Gibson.

745
00:40:29,480 --> 00:40:31,960
Speaker 1: And Mel Gibson had some very interesting.

746
00:40:31,600 --> 00:40:36,080
Speaker 3: Things to say about California Governor Gavin Newsom's failure to

747
00:40:36,160 --> 00:40:41,120
Speaker 3: prepare the state for these catastrophic wildfires that are ravaging La.

748
00:40:41,239 --> 00:40:44,520
Speaker 11: Still in twenty nineteen, I think Newsom said, you know,

749
00:40:44,560 --> 00:40:46,320
Speaker 11: I'm going to take care of the forest and maintain

750
00:40:46,400 --> 00:40:47,800
Speaker 11: the forests and do all that kind of stuff. He

751
00:40:47,840 --> 00:40:48,239
Speaker 11: didn't do.

752
00:40:48,160 --> 00:40:49,200
Speaker 9: Anything, didn't do anything.

753
00:40:49,239 --> 00:40:51,200
Speaker 4: And then on top of that, they cut the water off.

754
00:40:51,480 --> 00:40:53,759
Speaker 11: Yeah that's right. Yeah, it's all funny. And then I

755
00:40:53,840 --> 00:40:56,600
Speaker 11: think all our tax dollars probably went for Gavin's Hairjill.

756
00:40:57,080 --> 00:40:59,200
Speaker 11: I don't know, but it's like you know, it's that

757
00:40:59,560 --> 00:41:01,200
Speaker 11: it's like the place is just on fire.

758
00:41:01,520 --> 00:41:04,520
Speaker 4: Well, the whole state is just so poorly mannered.

759
00:41:05,160 --> 00:41:08,879
Speaker 3: Kinsey is everyone knows he's conservative. There's not too many

760
00:41:08,960 --> 00:41:14,000
Speaker 3: conservatives in Hollywood. He has to finance his own films

761
00:41:14,040 --> 00:41:16,600
Speaker 3: these days, but it seems to be working for him.

762
00:41:16,800 --> 00:41:21,080
Speaker 3: Is his opinion on this issue widely held in Hollywood

763
00:41:21,360 --> 00:41:25,520
Speaker 3: in California? Or are they blaming Donald Trump.

764
00:41:25,280 --> 00:41:27,680
Speaker 1: And climate change for these fires? And the response?

765
00:41:28,680 --> 00:41:31,040
Speaker 16: Yeah, you know, I do think he's given a lot

766
00:41:31,080 --> 00:41:34,360
Speaker 16: more credibility because his son is a firefighter out there.

767
00:41:34,600 --> 00:41:37,120
Speaker 16: His son is fighting these fires, so he does have

768
00:41:37,160 --> 00:41:40,160
Speaker 16: some inside information and some intel. But you know, I

769
00:41:40,200 --> 00:41:42,759
Speaker 16: do believe that the majority of people believe that this

770
00:41:42,920 --> 00:41:46,240
Speaker 16: is on the government. According to Fox News, Gavin Knewso

771
00:41:46,360 --> 00:41:49,680
Speaker 16: cut funding for wildlife and forest resilience by more than

772
00:41:49,920 --> 00:41:53,919
Speaker 16: one million just months before these wildfires. Mayor Karen Bass

773
00:41:53,960 --> 00:41:57,000
Speaker 16: initially tried to cut from the LA Fire Department's budget

774
00:41:57,200 --> 00:42:00,200
Speaker 16: twenty three million in twenty twenty four, but settled for

775
00:42:00,280 --> 00:42:04,040
Speaker 16: seventeen point six million in cuts, and she ordered an

776
00:42:04,080 --> 00:42:07,200
Speaker 16: additional forty nine million dollars in cuts to the fire

777
00:42:07,239 --> 00:42:11,080
Speaker 16: Department's budget a week before the fires started.

778
00:42:12,400 --> 00:42:16,880
Speaker 3: Kinsey Oscar nominee actor James Woods. He's a resident of

779
00:42:16,880 --> 00:42:21,439
Speaker 3: the Pacific Palisades and he posted this on x He said,

780
00:42:21,480 --> 00:42:25,160
Speaker 3: the work ahead to rebuild our beautiful Pacific Palisades and

781
00:42:25,200 --> 00:42:30,239
Speaker 3: all areas destroyed by Gavin Newsom's hillatious fires will be monumental.

782
00:42:30,320 --> 00:42:33,399
Speaker 3: We can't waste time and energy easing this creep out

783
00:42:33,400 --> 00:42:37,840
Speaker 3: of office. If this piece of shiit had one ounce

784
00:42:37,880 --> 00:42:44,120
Speaker 3: of decency, he would resign. The pretty strong words there.

785
00:42:44,320 --> 00:42:47,640
Speaker 3: How much pressure is there on Gavin newsm because it

786
00:42:47,680 --> 00:42:51,760
Speaker 3: seems to be he has failed on just about every

787
00:42:51,880 --> 00:42:55,640
Speaker 3: level when it comes to preparing the state for this

788
00:42:55,760 --> 00:42:59,120
Speaker 3: sort of fire, which he would have known was coming.

789
00:42:59,160 --> 00:43:03,200
Speaker 3: This is Calorfuna near after all that have wildfires.

790
00:43:04,080 --> 00:43:06,360
Speaker 16: And he keeps passing the buck. I mean, I have

791
00:43:06,520 --> 00:43:10,080
Speaker 16: seen some journalists really press him and say, you know,

792
00:43:10,120 --> 00:43:12,000
Speaker 16: you've got to give us a better answer than that.

793
00:43:12,280 --> 00:43:15,640
Speaker 16: But what he continues to do is pass the buck

794
00:43:15,719 --> 00:43:17,520
Speaker 16: and say, oh, well, that's LA's problem.

795
00:43:17,719 --> 00:43:19,480
Speaker 1: We're going to have to talk to La about that.

796
00:43:19,960 --> 00:43:21,920
Speaker 16: You know, at the end of the day, like I said,

797
00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:27,480
Speaker 16: he cuts significant amounts of resources. When he did cut

798
00:43:27,480 --> 00:43:30,560
Speaker 16: that one hundred million dollars. He does have to look

799
00:43:30,560 --> 00:43:33,600
Speaker 16: in the mirror and figure out where he is to blame,

800
00:43:33,719 --> 00:43:36,320
Speaker 16: because this does not all fall on Karen Bass.

801
00:43:38,719 --> 00:43:42,560
Speaker 3: Now, Harry and Meghan Markle have been meeting with victims

802
00:43:42,560 --> 00:43:45,520
Speaker 3: of the LA fires along with first responders at the

803
00:43:45,719 --> 00:43:50,520
Speaker 3: Pasadena Convention Center. This is an evacuation site for victims

804
00:43:50,600 --> 00:43:54,320
Speaker 3: of the Eton fire and out of the devastation. Meghan

805
00:43:54,400 --> 00:43:58,000
Speaker 3: is also delayed the launch of her new Netflix series

806
00:43:58,040 --> 00:44:01,160
Speaker 3: to focus on the needs of those impacted by the

807
00:44:01,239 --> 00:44:04,080
Speaker 3: wildfires in my home state of California.

808
00:44:04,200 --> 00:44:07,240
Speaker 1: She said, Kinsey, we've seen footage of.

809
00:44:07,600 --> 00:44:11,600
Speaker 3: Harry and Megan meeting with victims, hugging them.

810
00:44:13,480 --> 00:44:15,360
Speaker 1: Is that something that has.

811
00:44:16,320 --> 00:44:21,800
Speaker 3: Brought some comfort to those who are facing this deadly catastrophe.

812
00:44:23,000 --> 00:44:26,760
Speaker 16: I think I stand with Family Ties star Justine Bateman

813
00:44:27,400 --> 00:44:29,760
Speaker 16: when she called this a photo op, she said, Megan

814
00:44:29,760 --> 00:44:32,960
Speaker 16: and Harry are no better than ambulance chasers. What a

815
00:44:33,000 --> 00:44:36,480
Speaker 16: repulsive photo op they achieved. They don't live here. They

816
00:44:36,520 --> 00:44:40,239
Speaker 16: are tourists, disaster tourists. There are plenty of things they

817
00:44:40,239 --> 00:44:43,560
Speaker 16: could do in Montecito, but they jumped in the car

818
00:44:43,719 --> 00:44:48,080
Speaker 16: and drove over almost two hundred miles to be in

819
00:44:48,120 --> 00:44:50,400
Speaker 16: the middle of ground zero. These are two people that

820
00:44:50,480 --> 00:44:54,920
Speaker 16: are paranoid about security. Why bring that drama and chaos

821
00:44:54,960 --> 00:44:58,000
Speaker 16: to a place that's already hurting and a place that

822
00:44:58,080 --> 00:45:01,320
Speaker 16: doesn't need any additional drama and chaos.

823
00:45:01,400 --> 00:45:05,439
Speaker 3: As many people said on x having these people suffered enough,

824
00:45:05,560 --> 00:45:10,080
Speaker 3: the last thing they need is Aaron Meghan descending upon

825
00:45:10,160 --> 00:45:14,279
Speaker 3: them with camera crews getting images that they know are

826
00:45:14,320 --> 00:45:16,400
Speaker 3: going to go around the world. Don't they know if

827
00:45:16,400 --> 00:45:18,520
Speaker 3: they're going to be there, they're going to get plenty

828
00:45:18,560 --> 00:45:22,640
Speaker 3: of footage that we've played for you tonight now, Kinzi

829
00:45:22,719 --> 00:45:27,480
Speaker 3: Kim Kardashian has prompted outrage on social media for posting

830
00:45:27,640 --> 00:45:34,239
Speaker 3: ads for her Skims brand while these buyers are devastating, La,

831
00:45:34,440 --> 00:45:36,240
Speaker 3: what do you think about this? A lot of people

832
00:45:36,239 --> 00:45:39,080
Speaker 3: are saying she should be doing what other celebrities are doing,

833
00:45:39,160 --> 00:45:42,680
Speaker 3: which is showing solidarity and just sort of pulling back

834
00:45:42,719 --> 00:45:46,040
Speaker 3: from the marketing and promotion whilst this is happening.

835
00:45:47,200 --> 00:45:50,840
Speaker 16: And you also saw Chloe Kardashian going after Karen Bauss,

836
00:45:51,120 --> 00:45:53,120
Speaker 16: you know, saying what a joke you are for not

837
00:45:53,200 --> 00:45:56,600
Speaker 16: being prepared for this, and Chloe saying that she sided

838
00:45:56,719 --> 00:46:02,240
Speaker 16: with our fire chiefs. They are clearly if you watch

839
00:46:02,239 --> 00:46:06,319
Speaker 16: our news, they are delivering different messages, and they are

840
00:46:06,320 --> 00:46:09,400
Speaker 16: clearly behind the scenes going out at each other's throats.

841
00:46:10,000 --> 00:46:12,640
Speaker 16: My favorite headline is Kim Kardashian was busy promoting her

842
00:46:12,640 --> 00:46:15,480
Speaker 16: clothing brand while Los Angeles burned to the ground. Let's

843
00:46:15,520 --> 00:46:18,400
Speaker 16: hope that's not her legacy. I have heard that she

844
00:46:18,600 --> 00:46:22,040
Speaker 16: has donated to some of the firefighters when it comes

845
00:46:22,080 --> 00:46:24,520
Speaker 16: to meals and things, so she has tried to step

846
00:46:24,640 --> 00:46:26,320
Speaker 16: up since those horrible headlines.

847
00:46:28,760 --> 00:46:30,960
Speaker 3: I think you're going to see a big fat donation

848
00:46:31,200 --> 00:46:34,480
Speaker 3: from her coming because this is the sort of bad

849
00:46:34,640 --> 00:46:38,800
Speaker 3: press that can stick. Actor Tyler Perry a good friend

850
00:46:38,840 --> 00:46:42,200
Speaker 3: of Megan and Harry. He's posted a lengthy statement on

851
00:46:42,239 --> 00:46:47,279
Speaker 3: Instagram slamming insurance companies for canceling millions of policies just.

852
00:46:47,320 --> 00:46:49,200
Speaker 1: Before the LA fires broke out.

853
00:46:49,320 --> 00:46:53,000
Speaker 3: He wrote, does anyone else find it appalling but insurance

854
00:46:53,040 --> 00:46:55,840
Speaker 3: companies to take billions of dollars out of communities for

855
00:46:56,000 --> 00:46:58,279
Speaker 3: years and then all of a sudden be allowed to

856
00:46:58,320 --> 00:47:02,360
Speaker 3: cancel millions of polo for the very people they became

857
00:47:03,160 --> 00:47:05,520
Speaker 3: rich on? Can you tell me more about this, kindsy,

858
00:47:05,560 --> 00:47:10,759
Speaker 3: because it seems incredible that insurance company could cancel any policy.

859
00:47:10,800 --> 00:47:13,480
Speaker 3: I mean, that's the deal. You pay them these premiums.

860
00:47:13,920 --> 00:47:17,280
Speaker 3: You may never make a claim over thirty forty years,

861
00:47:17,320 --> 00:47:20,040
Speaker 3: but it's therefore a disaster just like this.

862
00:47:21,320 --> 00:47:21,360
Speaker 14: You.

863
00:47:21,719 --> 00:47:25,600
Speaker 16: According to the insurance companies, they they were afraid they

864
00:47:25,600 --> 00:47:28,480
Speaker 16: wouldn't be able to afford the payouts and that's why

865
00:47:28,640 --> 00:47:34,879
Speaker 16: ultimately they canceled hundreds of these victims insurance policies months ago.

866
00:47:34,960 --> 00:47:38,359
Speaker 16: There is one woman that stayed despite the evacuation. Her

867
00:47:38,360 --> 00:47:40,920
Speaker 16: parents were ninety years old, they'd been in the home

868
00:47:41,400 --> 00:47:44,120
Speaker 16: for seventy years, and she just stayed there with her

869
00:47:44,160 --> 00:47:47,040
Speaker 16: fire hose sprang the house down. Thankfully, the last time

870
00:47:47,080 --> 00:47:50,080
Speaker 16: I checked it had been spared. But that's all her

871
00:47:50,080 --> 00:47:52,280
Speaker 16: parents had. They were ninety years old. They were afraid

872
00:47:52,280 --> 00:47:54,359
Speaker 16: they were going to lose their house, and she did

873
00:47:54,400 --> 00:47:57,520
Speaker 16: that because they lost their insurance. They had no other option,

874
00:47:58,080 --> 00:48:01,160
Speaker 16: so she risked her life. So this is not just

875
00:48:01,200 --> 00:48:02,200
Speaker 16: a celebrity thing.

876
00:48:02,360 --> 00:48:02,600
Speaker 1: You know.

877
00:48:02,640 --> 00:48:05,080
Speaker 16: This is impacting a lot of different people of all

878
00:48:05,200 --> 00:48:11,120
Speaker 16: age groups and different classes, and it's devastating.

879
00:48:12,800 --> 00:48:16,719
Speaker 3: Absolutely, and those people are less equipped to recover from

880
00:48:16,760 --> 00:48:20,279
Speaker 3: this than your celebrities whose properties are worth millions and

881
00:48:20,320 --> 00:48:23,279
Speaker 3: they probably have several of them. It's incredible. I mean

882
00:48:23,920 --> 00:48:27,120
Speaker 3: the fact that they can cancel these policies. It's not

883
00:48:27,239 --> 00:48:31,760
Speaker 3: just financially devastating, it can lead to loss of life because,

884
00:48:31,800 --> 00:48:34,160
Speaker 3: like you said, people will stay back at their properties

885
00:48:34,200 --> 00:48:36,479
Speaker 3: when they should be leaving to try to save them

886
00:48:36,960 --> 00:48:39,759
Speaker 3: and this is just putting themselves in greater danger.

887
00:48:39,880 --> 00:48:41,040
Speaker 1: Kinsey Schofield, thank you.

888
00:48:41,000 --> 00:48:43,000
Speaker 3: So much for your time this evening, and that's all

889
00:48:43,040 --> 00:48:45,879
Speaker 3: the time we have tonight. I'll see you tomorrow night

890
00:48:46,160 --> 00:48:52,680
Speaker 3: at eleven up. Next is Newsnight.
