0:00:18.120 --> 0:00:21.079
<v Speaker 3>to kick up the economy. I'll discuss that and plenty

0:00:21.120 --> 0:00:23.560
<v Speaker 3>more with Dan Ward also joining me tonight.

0:00:23.600 --> 0:00:24.439
<v Speaker 1>They always droll.

0:00:24.520 --> 0:00:27.720
<v Speaker 3>Alex Stein with the Latest from the US, and Kinsisco

0:00:27.880 --> 0:00:31.360
<v Speaker 3>Field brings us to the latest from Hollywood where celebrities

0:00:31.400 --> 0:00:35.600
<v Speaker 3>are battling the deadly California fires. And we have an

0:00:35.640 --> 0:00:39.120
<v Speaker 3>extended edition of Left is Losing It for you before

0:00:39.159 --> 0:00:42.159
<v Speaker 3>the first ad break, and it features the great Mick

0:00:42.280 --> 0:00:45.199
<v Speaker 3>Jagger in Canada who was among the very first to

0:00:45.280 --> 0:00:48.360
<v Speaker 3>learn just how unpopular Justin Trudeau is.

0:00:49.000 --> 0:00:50.959
<v Speaker 4>I mean, we love your mister Trudeau.

0:00:51.040 --> 0:00:53.520
<v Speaker 5>I mean his fan has always been such a big

0:00:53.560 --> 0:00:54.840
<v Speaker 5>fans of our fans.

0:00:57.280 --> 0:01:00.720
<v Speaker 3>But first fresh polling has revealed a surgeon support for

0:01:00.800 --> 0:01:04.280
<v Speaker 3>Australia Day being celebrated on January twenty six. Despite the

0:01:04.319 --> 0:01:07.920
<v Speaker 3>Left's attempts to demonize our national holiday, it continues to

0:01:08.080 --> 0:01:11.440
<v Speaker 3>enjoy majority support it always has and that support is

0:01:11.840 --> 0:01:15.160
<v Speaker 3>growing sixty nine percent of Australians agree that Australia Day

0:01:15.240 --> 0:01:18.880
<v Speaker 3>should be held on January twenty six, compared to sixty

0:01:18.920 --> 0:01:22.560
<v Speaker 3>three percent in last year's poll commissioned by the Institute

0:01:22.600 --> 0:01:26.319
<v Speaker 3>of Public Affairs, and this figure includes a ten percent

0:01:26.520 --> 0:01:29.600
<v Speaker 3>increase in support for the day amongst eighteen to twenty

0:01:29.640 --> 0:01:33.959
<v Speaker 3>four year olds, an age bracket that typically leans heavily left.

0:01:34.040 --> 0:01:36.840
<v Speaker 1>Joining me now with more on this is Deputy Executive

0:01:36.880 --> 0:01:40.880
<v Speaker 1>director of the IPA, Dan Wild. Dan tell me more

0:01:41.280 --> 0:01:42.920
<v Speaker 1>about what this polling revealed.

0:01:45.680 --> 0:01:46.600
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, Rita, Look what.

0:01:46.560 --> 0:01:49.760
<v Speaker 6>It shows is that we're getting a surge and support

0:01:49.800 --> 0:01:52.960
<v Speaker 6>for Australia Day on the twenty sixth of January. As

0:01:53.000 --> 0:01:56.040
<v Speaker 6>you mentioned, it's being driven by young Australians, those aged

0:01:56.280 --> 0:01:59.320
<v Speaker 6>eighteen to twenty four, which is really significant. They are

0:01:59.360 --> 0:02:02.560
<v Speaker 6>rebelling against political correctness. They've had a gutful of it

0:02:03.160 --> 0:02:05.800
<v Speaker 6>because they've been presented with a very negative, one sided

0:02:05.880 --> 0:02:08.960
<v Speaker 6>view of our history and our culture at school and

0:02:09.120 --> 0:02:12.120
<v Speaker 6>at university and they're just over it and they're saying

0:02:12.160 --> 0:02:14.720
<v Speaker 6>that they want to support the national Day along with

0:02:14.760 --> 0:02:17.520
<v Speaker 6>the rest of the population. What's so significant about this

0:02:17.600 --> 0:02:20.720
<v Speaker 6>survey this year region and we've been doing this for

0:02:20.760 --> 0:02:23.799
<v Speaker 6>seven years now. Is it's the first time that we've

0:02:23.840 --> 0:02:27.800
<v Speaker 6>had every single age group with majority support of our

0:02:27.880 --> 0:02:30.639
<v Speaker 6>national Day. It's a very significant moment in our national

0:02:30.680 --> 0:02:33.320
<v Speaker 6>history and what it shows is that Australia Day is

0:02:33.360 --> 0:02:36.520
<v Speaker 6>back in a very big way and Australians are over

0:02:36.560 --> 0:02:40.720
<v Speaker 6>this wokeness, They're over political correctness and I think that we.

0:02:40.760 --> 0:02:42.920
<v Speaker 4>Just want to get on with it and celebrate our

0:02:43.000 --> 0:02:43.560
<v Speaker 4>national Day.

0:02:46.160 --> 0:02:50.440
<v Speaker 3>You know what, Anthony ALBERNEEZI has plenty of criticism, including

0:02:50.480 --> 0:02:55.280
<v Speaker 3>from me, for the referendum. Nobody wanted the race based referendum,

0:02:55.320 --> 0:02:57.240
<v Speaker 3>but I wonder whether in the long term is done

0:02:57.280 --> 0:03:01.000
<v Speaker 3>the country a favor because it's starts to address some

0:03:01.040 --> 0:03:04.480
<v Speaker 3>of these issues that have been ignored, where the majority

0:03:04.520 --> 0:03:08.320
<v Speaker 3>opinion was ignored, and now the majority have had their

0:03:08.400 --> 0:03:10.520
<v Speaker 3>voices heard through the referendum.

0:03:10.040 --> 0:03:11.760
<v Speaker 1>And they're demanding further changes.

0:03:11.800 --> 0:03:14.080
<v Speaker 3>They want to get rid of this racial division, this

0:03:14.800 --> 0:03:20.399
<v Speaker 3>ridiculous agenda that the left is pushing that is just divisive.

0:03:23.200 --> 0:03:23.960
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, you spot on.

0:03:24.200 --> 0:03:26.640
<v Speaker 6>I think that in hindsight, the referendum was a very

0:03:26.639 --> 0:03:30.000
<v Speaker 6>good thing for our nation because it did force us

0:03:30.000 --> 0:03:31.679
<v Speaker 6>to think about, well, what does it mean to be

0:03:31.720 --> 0:03:34.440
<v Speaker 6>an Australian and so we had to ask these tough

0:03:34.520 --> 0:03:37.960
<v Speaker 6>questions that often were not asked, and a majority of Australians,

0:03:38.000 --> 0:03:40.760
<v Speaker 6>a strong majority, said they don't want racial division. And

0:03:41.040 --> 0:03:44.160
<v Speaker 6>it wasn't just a left right thing. Almost forty percent

0:03:44.200 --> 0:03:47.720
<v Speaker 6>of those who voted no were labor voters, or forty

0:03:47.760 --> 0:03:49.920
<v Speaker 6>percent of labor voters voted no, So it was across

0:03:49.960 --> 0:03:54.040
<v Speaker 6>the political spectrum. And since then what we've seen is

0:03:54.080 --> 0:03:57.680
<v Speaker 6>a real pushback against the work corporations will Worst backing down,

0:03:58.360 --> 0:04:03.120
<v Speaker 6>the Australia Venue Company, the pub conglomerate backing down, the

0:04:03.680 --> 0:04:06.960
<v Speaker 6>UK or the Commissioner to the UK, Stephen Smith backing down.

0:04:07.600 --> 0:04:10.480
<v Speaker 6>So we've seen this across the board. Sporting codes member

0:04:10.560 --> 0:04:13.880
<v Speaker 6>Cricket Australia are now coming out and supporting Australia Day.

0:04:13.880 --> 0:04:16.360
<v Speaker 6>It was only a few years ago that they supported

0:04:16.400 --> 0:04:19.120
<v Speaker 6>Black Lives Matter and remember when all the cricketers were

0:04:19.120 --> 0:04:22.520
<v Speaker 6>standing around in a circle of bare feet to take

0:04:22.560 --> 0:04:25.600
<v Speaker 6>on racial injustice. Now Australia Day is back on the

0:04:25.640 --> 0:04:28.760
<v Speaker 6>agenda for Cricket Australia. So I think we're seeing a

0:04:28.800 --> 0:04:32.920
<v Speaker 6>really big energy shift in our nation around our values,

0:04:32.960 --> 0:04:35.680
<v Speaker 6>our flag and our national day. And I think it's

0:04:35.720 --> 0:04:36.880
<v Speaker 6>incredibly encouraging.

0:04:39.080 --> 0:04:42.760
<v Speaker 3>Absolutely Now Peter Darton has revealed his policy agenda for

0:04:42.800 --> 0:04:46.679
<v Speaker 3>the upcoming election under the banner of get Australia back

0:04:46.760 --> 0:04:47.440
<v Speaker 3>on track.

0:04:47.839 --> 0:04:50.080
<v Speaker 1>His promised to lower taxes.

0:04:49.640 --> 0:04:53.599
<v Speaker 3>And eliminate or at least reduce the red and Green

0:04:53.720 --> 0:04:57.720
<v Speaker 3>tape that is preventing private enterprises from investing in Australia

0:04:57.760 --> 0:05:00.359
<v Speaker 3>and getting us out of the cost of lif living

0:05:00.440 --> 0:05:03.240
<v Speaker 3>crisis is probably the number one issue going into the

0:05:03.279 --> 0:05:07.440
<v Speaker 3>federal election. Some of these reforms is announced include expediting

0:05:07.520 --> 0:05:12.040
<v Speaker 3>gas developments, slashing government spending and having approval times.

0:05:11.600 --> 0:05:13.080
<v Speaker 1>For resource projects.

0:05:13.640 --> 0:05:16.680
<v Speaker 3>Dan this is all music to my ears, But is

0:05:16.720 --> 0:05:20.560
<v Speaker 3>this going to be a winning formula going into an

0:05:20.560 --> 0:05:23.479
<v Speaker 3>election when you've got a first term government. It's unusual

0:05:23.520 --> 0:05:26.000
<v Speaker 3>for Australians to get rid of a first term government.

0:05:28.400 --> 0:05:31.719
<v Speaker 6>It is unusual, but it's also an unusually bad government.

0:05:32.800 --> 0:05:35.240
<v Speaker 6>So I think there's every chance Anthony Ibnezi could lose.

0:05:35.279 --> 0:05:36.960
<v Speaker 6>If there ever was a government to go down in

0:05:36.960 --> 0:05:39.320
<v Speaker 6>one term, that would be this one. Of course, in

0:05:39.320 --> 0:05:45.720
<v Speaker 6>twenty ten, the rad Gillard government almost went down basically.

0:05:45.360 --> 0:05:46.480
<v Speaker 4>Abbot got them to a draw.

0:05:46.839 --> 0:05:49.360
<v Speaker 6>I think it'll be something probably fairly similar to that,

0:05:50.160 --> 0:05:53.359
<v Speaker 6>I think that the agenda that Peter Dutton has outlined

0:05:53.480 --> 0:05:56.200
<v Speaker 6>is showing very important leadership across a number of areas,

0:05:56.680 --> 0:05:59.599
<v Speaker 6>including in relation to education where he mentioned the politically

0:05:59.680 --> 0:06:02.919
<v Speaker 6>driven ideology of our education system, of course is the

0:06:03.000 --> 0:06:06.120
<v Speaker 6>energy system and nuclear power. So I think it's very encouraging.

0:06:06.560 --> 0:06:09.800
<v Speaker 6>What I would say is the coalition needs to take a.

0:06:09.720 --> 0:06:10.360
<v Speaker 4>Bit more risk.

0:06:11.080 --> 0:06:13.159
<v Speaker 6>They can get over the line, but they're going to

0:06:13.160 --> 0:06:16.120
<v Speaker 6>need to take more risks, particularly around migration. Their migration

0:06:16.200 --> 0:06:18.039
<v Speaker 6>policy is a good policy, but they need to go

0:06:18.040 --> 0:06:20.120
<v Speaker 6>a bit further with that, and I also think they

0:06:20.160 --> 0:06:22.840
<v Speaker 6>need to show now they need to tell Australians well,

0:06:22.920 --> 0:06:24.640
<v Speaker 6>what are you going to get on day one? What

0:06:24.680 --> 0:06:26.760
<v Speaker 6>are you going to get on day one of a government?

0:06:27.080 --> 0:06:29.760
<v Speaker 6>To ease the cost of living, to rain back on migration,

0:06:29.960 --> 0:06:32.400
<v Speaker 6>and to help achieve social cohesion. Those are the three

0:06:32.440 --> 0:06:35.520
<v Speaker 6>big issues. So I think in terms of the unofficial

0:06:35.520 --> 0:06:37.760
<v Speaker 6>start of the campaign, it's a very good start and

0:06:37.800 --> 0:06:39.920
<v Speaker 6>hopefully they build on this by having a bit more

0:06:39.960 --> 0:06:43.520
<v Speaker 6>ambition as we head towards the actual election, which will

0:06:43.520 --> 0:06:45.120
<v Speaker 6>probably be late March early April.

0:06:47.320 --> 0:06:50.840
<v Speaker 3>Absolutely, I think that is fantastic advice to have some

0:06:50.920 --> 0:06:53.640
<v Speaker 3>courage conservatives need to have courage and need to be

0:06:53.839 --> 0:06:58.080
<v Speaker 3>clear in articulating their message, and there are policies that

0:06:58.120 --> 0:07:02.760
<v Speaker 3>are just easy for conservatives to explain to the electorate

0:07:02.839 --> 0:07:05.880
<v Speaker 3>where they will have overwhelming majority support. A lot of

0:07:05.920 --> 0:07:09.520
<v Speaker 3>those are the so called cultural war issues, something that

0:07:09.600 --> 0:07:13.160
<v Speaker 3>Donald Trump capitalized on, and you'd love to see that

0:07:13.320 --> 0:07:16.840
<v Speaker 3>locally you have a political leader come out and say

0:07:17.160 --> 0:07:21.000
<v Speaker 3>clearly that women deserve to have their own spaces. We

0:07:21.080 --> 0:07:23.040
<v Speaker 3>know what a woman is, we know what a man is,

0:07:23.120 --> 0:07:24.920
<v Speaker 3>and men don't belong in women's sport.

0:07:25.280 --> 0:07:27.680
<v Speaker 1>These are simple statements that.

0:07:27.720 --> 0:07:31.120
<v Speaker 3>The overwhelming majority of the country agree with, but certainly

0:07:31.160 --> 0:07:34.800
<v Speaker 3>in states like Victoria, you've got both the liberals and

0:07:34.840 --> 0:07:37.720
<v Speaker 3>the labor government on the same side of the activist

0:07:38.080 --> 0:07:41.200
<v Speaker 3>who may represent maybe ten percent of the population. And

0:07:41.280 --> 0:07:44.800
<v Speaker 3>talking about Victoria, there's been a damning report by energy

0:07:44.840 --> 0:07:50.920
<v Speaker 3>expert Professor Paul Simschauser who's warning that Victoria's renewables push

0:07:51.040 --> 0:07:55.080
<v Speaker 3>is going to see demand outweighing renewable energy supply by

0:07:55.200 --> 0:07:58.960
<v Speaker 3>more than thirty percent this coming winter, which could make

0:07:59.080 --> 0:08:03.080
<v Speaker 3>Victoria's power devices even more expensive. And of course you've

0:08:03.080 --> 0:08:04.680
<v Speaker 3>also got the risk of blackouts there.

0:08:04.760 --> 0:08:09.400
<v Speaker 6>Dan, Yeah, well, there will be blackhoats if those numbers

0:08:09.440 --> 0:08:12.840
<v Speaker 6>are correct. And you know what we've what we've seen, now,

0:08:12.920 --> 0:08:15.240
<v Speaker 6>what was I mean, We've been warning about this for years,

0:08:15.760 --> 0:08:17.280
<v Speaker 6>you know, I mean we've been how long we've been

0:08:17.280 --> 0:08:19.840
<v Speaker 6>talking about this issue, which is you know, Victoria is

0:08:19.920 --> 0:08:23.560
<v Speaker 6>ground zero for net zero. They've gone faster and harder

0:08:23.560 --> 0:08:26.320
<v Speaker 6>than any other state with this climate zealotry. And it's

0:08:26.320 --> 0:08:27.880
<v Speaker 6>got to be said that the Liberals have been as

0:08:27.960 --> 0:08:31.760
<v Speaker 6>bad as labor, sometimes worse than labor on energy policy.

0:08:31.840 --> 0:08:33.360
<v Speaker 6>And this is what happens when you get rid of

0:08:33.400 --> 0:08:36.840
<v Speaker 6>your baselow power supplies, which is coal. You know, coal

0:08:36.920 --> 0:08:39.720
<v Speaker 6>and gas is what gives you the capacity to operate

0:08:39.760 --> 0:08:42.320
<v Speaker 6>an energy system twenty four to seven, three sixty five

0:08:42.400 --> 0:08:45.440
<v Speaker 6>days a year, rain, hail, or shine, and you replace

0:08:45.480 --> 0:08:48.760
<v Speaker 6>it with weather dependent, intermittent energy supplies from wind and solar.

0:08:49.000 --> 0:08:52.079
<v Speaker 6>Of course, you're going to have these problems. It's totally predictable.

0:08:52.800 --> 0:08:54.600
<v Speaker 6>I just don't understand for the life of me, while

0:08:54.600 --> 0:08:58.000
<v Speaker 6>we keep going down this path. Obviously, this was always

0:08:58.000 --> 0:09:00.520
<v Speaker 6>going to happen, and I think what we need it's

0:09:00.559 --> 0:09:02.000
<v Speaker 6>just a common sense energy policy.

0:09:02.040 --> 0:09:02.800
<v Speaker 4>Sure, if you want to have.

0:09:02.760 --> 0:09:04.839
<v Speaker 6>Some wind and solar where it's sensible, Go do that,

0:09:05.120 --> 0:09:06.760
<v Speaker 6>but you're going to have to have at least eighty

0:09:06.760 --> 0:09:09.800
<v Speaker 6>percent of your energy system based on coal or gas,

0:09:09.840 --> 0:09:13.600
<v Speaker 6>or in certain circumstances, hydro where it makes sense. Otherwise

0:09:13.640 --> 0:09:16.320
<v Speaker 6>you're going to have high prices and blackout risks. So look,

0:09:16.360 --> 0:09:18.439
<v Speaker 6>the chickens are now coming home to roost the very

0:09:18.440 --> 0:09:21.720
<v Speaker 6>bad policy decisions that have been taken over the past

0:09:21.760 --> 0:09:22.480
<v Speaker 6>decade plus.

0:09:24.880 --> 0:09:28.640
<v Speaker 3>Now, Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, has

0:09:28.679 --> 0:09:32.119
<v Speaker 3>told its employees that it will be dismantling its DEI

0:09:32.280 --> 0:09:36.080
<v Speaker 3>that's a diversity, equity and Inclusion team due to a

0:09:36.160 --> 0:09:39.439
<v Speaker 3>shift in the legal and policy landscape in the US,

0:09:40.000 --> 0:09:43.200
<v Speaker 3>announcing that it doesn't want there to be any impression

0:09:43.320 --> 0:09:46.800
<v Speaker 3>that people were being hired based on race, or gender

0:09:47.040 --> 0:09:51.439
<v Speaker 3>or other diversity factors. A Meta Australia spokesperson has told

0:09:51.480 --> 0:09:54.560
<v Speaker 3>The Australian Financial Review that the company's new mantra is

0:09:54.600 --> 0:09:59.920
<v Speaker 3>to create a cognitively diverse workforce. We will always value

0:10:00.080 --> 0:10:05.079
<v Speaker 3>teams with differences in knowledge, skills, political views, backgrounds, perspectives

0:10:05.120 --> 0:10:10.280
<v Speaker 3>and experiences, the company has said dan this is another

0:10:10.360 --> 0:10:15.600
<v Speaker 3>impact of the Trump landslide. These companies know that these

0:10:15.679 --> 0:10:20.680
<v Speaker 3>policies are discrimination. You might call it positive discrimination, reverse discrimination,

0:10:21.280 --> 0:10:25.400
<v Speaker 3>but it's just discrimination. And you're basically saying that other

0:10:25.520 --> 0:10:29.040
<v Speaker 3>factors other than merit are going to get people over

0:10:29.040 --> 0:10:31.480
<v Speaker 3>the line to get that coveted job.

0:10:34.280 --> 0:10:34.880
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, that's right.

0:10:34.880 --> 0:10:37.720
<v Speaker 6>I mean, there's something positive about discrimination. I've never understood

0:10:37.720 --> 0:10:40.640
<v Speaker 6>the term positive discrimination. It's sort of a weasel word

0:10:40.640 --> 0:10:42.199
<v Speaker 6>that they used to use to get away with it,

0:10:43.160 --> 0:10:45.080
<v Speaker 6>you know. I mean, firstly, this is an admission that

0:10:45.120 --> 0:10:47.560
<v Speaker 6>Facebook has been doing that, that they have been meta

0:10:47.679 --> 0:10:51.720
<v Speaker 6>have been discriminating based on political views and based on

0:10:52.440 --> 0:10:56.040
<v Speaker 6>characteristics like race, ethnicity, or gender. And you shouldn't do

0:10:56.080 --> 0:10:58.320
<v Speaker 6>that as a company. Now, if you want to be

0:10:58.360 --> 0:11:01.000
<v Speaker 6>discerning in terms of skills and knowledge, of course you

0:11:01.000 --> 0:11:02.480
<v Speaker 6>can do that as a company, but you shouldn't be

0:11:02.559 --> 0:11:05.240
<v Speaker 6>doing it based on political views. But I think this

0:11:05.280 --> 0:11:08.320
<v Speaker 6>is an incredibly important development. I welcome it and encourage it,

0:11:08.360 --> 0:11:11.160
<v Speaker 6>and I hope more corporates go down this path because

0:11:11.160 --> 0:11:15.319
<v Speaker 6>we're all fed up with this diversity, equity and inclusion.

0:11:15.480 --> 0:11:17.560
<v Speaker 6>People should be hired on their capacity to make a

0:11:17.600 --> 0:11:20.960
<v Speaker 6>contribution and to do a good job, regardless of their background.

0:11:20.960 --> 0:11:23.720
<v Speaker 6>That's one of the basic fundamentals of our society. I

0:11:23.760 --> 0:11:26.040
<v Speaker 6>think that you're right that this is the Trump effect,

0:11:26.480 --> 0:11:28.720
<v Speaker 6>and it certainly he's not even president yet, he's President

0:11:28.800 --> 0:11:32.959
<v Speaker 6>elects and they're already starting to change their corporate policy.

0:11:33.120 --> 0:11:35.760
<v Speaker 6>So I really hope we start to see this in Australia.

0:11:35.840 --> 0:11:37.960
<v Speaker 6>We should hire based on merit, not based on any

0:11:38.040 --> 0:11:40.240
<v Speaker 6>other characteristics. So you know, I think this is a

0:11:40.360 --> 0:11:42.440
<v Speaker 6>very welcomed and positive development.

0:11:44.559 --> 0:11:48.439
<v Speaker 3>Absolutely, and again this can be something our conservative politicians

0:11:48.440 --> 0:11:51.280
<v Speaker 3>are both at state and federal level, could emprace because

0:11:51.280 --> 0:11:55.360
<v Speaker 3>I think it would enjoy enormous popularity. Most people do

0:11:55.480 --> 0:11:58.480
<v Speaker 3>not like these sort of policies being instituted in their

0:11:58.480 --> 0:12:02.240
<v Speaker 3>workplaces or anywhere else. Staying in the US, Donald Trump

0:12:02.280 --> 0:12:05.960
<v Speaker 3>has lashed at at California Governor Gavin Newsom and la

0:12:06.040 --> 0:12:09.440
<v Speaker 3>met Karen Bass over the states lack of preparedness for

0:12:09.480 --> 0:12:14.680
<v Speaker 3>the catastrophic wildfires ravaging the state. Trump wrote on truth

0:12:14.720 --> 0:12:19.360
<v Speaker 3>Cecial the fires are still raging in LA, then competent politicians.

0:12:18.640 --> 0:12:20.480
<v Speaker 1>Have no idea how to put them out.

0:12:20.760 --> 0:12:23.079
<v Speaker 3>This is one of the worst catastrophes in the history

0:12:23.080 --> 0:12:26.640
<v Speaker 3>of our country. They just can't put out the fires.

0:12:26.800 --> 0:12:31.680
<v Speaker 3>What's wrong with them? Dan There has clearly been massive

0:12:32.000 --> 0:12:38.559
<v Speaker 3>failure here with forest management, water management, with properly resourcing

0:12:38.600 --> 0:12:42.080
<v Speaker 3>the fire department, those deipolicies we spoke about. They seem

0:12:42.120 --> 0:12:46.320
<v Speaker 3>to be preoccupied with that rather than actually being prepared

0:12:46.360 --> 0:12:49.360
<v Speaker 3>to fight these fires. And it's California, They're always going

0:12:49.440 --> 0:12:54.319
<v Speaker 3>to have wildfires or bushfires as we call them.

0:12:54.600 --> 0:12:55.240
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, that's right.

0:12:55.280 --> 0:12:57.400
<v Speaker 6>I mean, look, nobody cares about the color or the

0:12:57.400 --> 0:12:59.880
<v Speaker 6>gender of a firefighter, right. They want the fire put

0:13:00.080 --> 0:13:02.720
<v Speaker 6>out and they want to be kept safe. You know,

0:13:02.760 --> 0:13:04.560
<v Speaker 6>there's always going to be challenges no matter how hard

0:13:04.600 --> 0:13:07.040
<v Speaker 6>you work, some fires can get out of control. But

0:13:07.160 --> 0:13:10.800
<v Speaker 6>clearly this has been widespreading competence. As you mentioned, I

0:13:10.840 --> 0:13:13.040
<v Speaker 6>don't understand how they can't have enough water. I mean,

0:13:13.040 --> 0:13:14.880
<v Speaker 6>how is that possible? Don't have enough water coming out

0:13:14.920 --> 0:13:19.680
<v Speaker 6>the fire hydrants. That's just unbelievable that that could happen.

0:13:19.720 --> 0:13:21.600
<v Speaker 6>But that's what happens when you have a state that's

0:13:21.640 --> 0:13:24.680
<v Speaker 6>run based on woke identity politics rather than based on

0:13:24.720 --> 0:13:28.080
<v Speaker 6>actually dealing with the issues that people are concerned with.

0:13:28.320 --> 0:13:30.360
<v Speaker 6>What I have found so fascinating is I don't think

0:13:30.400 --> 0:13:33.600
<v Speaker 6>anyone of any sort of credibility has really blamed these

0:13:33.600 --> 0:13:36.719
<v Speaker 6>bush fires on climate change. You know, I know there's

0:13:36.720 --> 0:13:38.800
<v Speaker 6>probably a couple of academics out there that have done it,

0:13:38.840 --> 0:13:41.680
<v Speaker 6>but I already think the debate is starting to change

0:13:42.200 --> 0:13:44.920
<v Speaker 6>around climate change as well. More and more people understand

0:13:45.000 --> 0:13:47.520
<v Speaker 6>that it's to do with preparing the ground. So you

0:13:47.520 --> 0:13:50.880
<v Speaker 6>need to have proper burnoffs and native vegetation management and

0:13:50.960 --> 0:13:52.840
<v Speaker 6>so forth, which often you can't do because of the

0:13:52.880 --> 0:13:55.160
<v Speaker 6>red and Green tape. You've got to have the reservoirs

0:13:55.160 --> 0:13:57.440
<v Speaker 6>which are for You've got to have fire access and

0:13:57.520 --> 0:13:59.960
<v Speaker 6>road access to deal with these things. So, you know,

0:14:00.400 --> 0:14:02.720
<v Speaker 6>I really hope people stay safe, and I know there's

0:14:02.760 --> 0:14:05.280
<v Speaker 6>over twenty casualties so far and I hope that doesn't climb.

0:14:05.559 --> 0:14:08.240
<v Speaker 6>But in terms of the politics of it, it sort

0:14:08.240 --> 0:14:10.480
<v Speaker 6>of feels like the debate has changed around climate change

0:14:10.480 --> 0:14:12.160
<v Speaker 6>as well. When look, I think that's going to be

0:14:12.200 --> 0:14:15.960
<v Speaker 6>a positive development as well, and.

0:14:15.880 --> 0:14:19.160
<v Speaker 3>Hopefully again that feeds through to Australia because we've got

0:14:19.160 --> 0:14:22.040
<v Speaker 3>the exact same issues. We've got people in the bush

0:14:22.040 --> 0:14:25.400
<v Speaker 3>who say there's no back burning happening, the fuel loads

0:14:25.400 --> 0:14:28.600
<v Speaker 3>are out of control, and when a fire does come,

0:14:28.760 --> 0:14:31.400
<v Speaker 3>it's going to burn more intensely than it should. It's

0:14:31.400 --> 0:14:33.000
<v Speaker 3>going to be harder to put out. So we've got

0:14:33.040 --> 0:14:36.640
<v Speaker 3>those exact same issues here, Dan, and let's just hope

0:14:36.720 --> 0:14:39.400
<v Speaker 3>that we're learning from what's happening in California.

0:14:39.480 --> 0:14:41.440
<v Speaker 1>Dan Wile, thank you so much for your time this evening.

0:14:43.880 --> 0:14:44.800
<v Speaker 1>Now it's time for.

0:14:44.920 --> 0:14:48.240
<v Speaker 3>Lefties losing it, and we have so much content. The

0:14:48.320 --> 0:14:51.960
<v Speaker 3>lefties have been extra crazy over the Christmas break, so

0:14:52.040 --> 0:14:55.960
<v Speaker 3>get ready for a barrage of woke lunacy. Let's start

0:14:56.000 --> 0:14:59.280
<v Speaker 3>in Canada, where the neo Marxist timbo himself, Justin Trudeau

0:15:00.160 --> 0:15:04.000
<v Speaker 3>finally realized how loathe he is and he is stepping down.

0:15:04.600 --> 0:15:06.640
<v Speaker 3>I wonder if over the last few months there were

0:15:06.680 --> 0:15:09.200
<v Speaker 3>any clues to his unpopularity.

0:15:09.960 --> 0:15:13.000
<v Speaker 1>Take it away, rock legend, Mick Jagger, I.

0:15:12.920 --> 0:15:14.800
<v Speaker 4>Mean we love your mister Trudeau.

0:15:14.880 --> 0:15:17.760
<v Speaker 6>I mean his fan has always been such big fans

0:15:17.800 --> 0:15:18.560
<v Speaker 6>about fanis.

0:15:27.280 --> 0:15:34.960
<v Speaker 3>By the way, congratulations on the Canadian socer team.

0:15:31.080 --> 0:15:31.560
<v Speaker 7>In the.

0:15:35.120 --> 0:15:38.560
<v Speaker 3>Very skillful of MiG there to just quickly change the

0:15:38.600 --> 0:15:41.440
<v Speaker 3>topic to soccer as the Rolling Stones, I don't think

0:15:41.480 --> 0:15:44.400
<v Speaker 3>are too used to hearing booing at their concerts.

0:15:45.000 --> 0:15:47.920
<v Speaker 1>Justin Trudeau was a media darling.

0:15:47.640 --> 0:15:51.720
<v Speaker 3>The picture perfect progressive male feminist. But the people in

0:15:51.760 --> 0:15:56.600
<v Speaker 3>Canada have finally seen through him. He has caused untold

0:15:56.640 --> 0:15:58.440
<v Speaker 3>damage to the country.

0:15:58.000 --> 0:16:00.239
<v Speaker 1>And Canadians are no longer shy about.

0:16:00.120 --> 0:16:03.880
<v Speaker 3>Confronting him, whether it's in the streets or in a diner.

0:16:04.400 --> 0:16:09.960
<v Speaker 8>Mister Prime Minister, please get the PC.

0:16:10.920 --> 0:16:12.960
<v Speaker 4>Have a wonderful day, man, you zuck.

0:16:18.560 --> 0:16:23.920
<v Speaker 3>Now, many deranged folks have been utterly broken by Donald Trump.

0:16:24.040 --> 0:16:26.880
<v Speaker 3>And there are also those who we once thought were

0:16:27.960 --> 0:16:32.520
<v Speaker 3>sane and mildly intelligent who have allowed TDS trumped arrangement

0:16:32.560 --> 0:16:37.000
<v Speaker 3>syndrome to completely destroy their standing among thinking people.

0:16:37.720 --> 0:16:39.400
<v Speaker 1>And no man better.

0:16:39.200 --> 0:16:43.280
<v Speaker 3>Demonstrates that than Sam Harris, a member of the intellectual

0:16:43.400 --> 0:16:43.920
<v Speaker 3>Dark Web.

0:16:43.960 --> 0:16:48.840
<v Speaker 1>Remember that, but turns out he's just a massive hysteric.

0:16:48.960 --> 0:16:54.000
<v Speaker 3>Here's Sam Harris, who's now a ballistic expert, apparently embarrasses

0:16:54.080 --> 0:16:57.080
<v Speaker 3>himself by questioning whether Donald Trump.

0:16:57.040 --> 0:16:58.640
<v Speaker 1>Was actually shot.

0:16:59.080 --> 0:17:03.760
<v Speaker 3>Even fellow TEDS sufferer Bill Maher was left shaking his head.

0:17:04.400 --> 0:17:08.879
<v Speaker 9>I'm surprised that a rifle round making any degree of

0:17:08.920 --> 0:17:12.120
<v Speaker 9>contact with an ear wouldn't do more damage. I think

0:17:12.320 --> 0:17:16.800
<v Speaker 9>I think a shattered piece of shrapnel from a teleprompter

0:17:17.400 --> 0:17:19.320
<v Speaker 9>was far more likely to have done that to his

0:17:19.400 --> 0:17:23.400
<v Speaker 9>ear than a rifle round. It's so silly well, he said,

0:17:23.480 --> 0:17:25.479
<v Speaker 9>if you said, what rifle rounds doing the human bodies?

0:17:25.720 --> 0:17:28.520
<v Speaker 9>I know, but like if it just hit it by

0:17:28.640 --> 0:17:32.800
<v Speaker 9>the slightest possible degree, it just you know, it makes

0:17:32.880 --> 0:17:35.239
<v Speaker 9>much more sense. The guy behind, No, but I do

0:17:35.480 --> 0:17:39.480
<v Speaker 9>know there's no question there are rifle rounds. Fine, I

0:17:39.520 --> 0:17:42.320
<v Speaker 9>mean someone was killed. I'm not debating that at all.

0:17:42.840 --> 0:17:44.960
<v Speaker 1>He acknowledges that Corey actually died.

0:17:45.000 --> 0:17:48.159
<v Speaker 3>I mean, what an absolute descries Sam Harris's these days.

0:17:48.720 --> 0:17:50.920
<v Speaker 1>And if you think I'm being too hot on him,

0:17:51.320 --> 0:17:52.320
<v Speaker 1>remember this from.

0:17:52.200 --> 0:17:54.600
<v Speaker 3>A couple of years ago when he said he didn't

0:17:54.640 --> 0:17:59.200
<v Speaker 3>even care if Hunter Biden had dead bodies in his basement.

0:17:59.720 --> 0:18:02.040
<v Speaker 1>This guys deranged, I mean Hunter Biden.

0:18:02.080 --> 0:18:05.160
<v Speaker 9>At that point, Hunter Biden literally could have had the

0:18:05.200 --> 0:18:09.080
<v Speaker 9>corpses of children in his basement. I would not have cared.

0:18:09.400 --> 0:18:12.159
<v Speaker 3>Right now, I'm going to bring you plenty on the

0:18:12.200 --> 0:18:17.560
<v Speaker 3>suicidally stupid lefty policies that have devastated California and Hamstrong

0:18:17.600 --> 0:18:21.760
<v Speaker 3>the ability of firefighters to fight fires. But first let's

0:18:21.880 --> 0:18:26.000
<v Speaker 3>checking on a typical Californian lefters somehow finds a way

0:18:26.040 --> 0:18:29.679
<v Speaker 3>to blame Donald Trump for the fire response in a

0:18:29.760 --> 0:18:34.240
<v Speaker 3>state where the Democrats enjoy a supermajority, so we should.

0:18:33.960 --> 0:18:34.800
<v Speaker 1>Have seen this coming.

0:18:35.560 --> 0:18:39.400
<v Speaker 5>Instead of reaching out with compassion to the people in

0:18:39.440 --> 0:18:44.240
<v Speaker 5>my city, Los Angeles for losing everything and the fires,

0:18:46.160 --> 0:18:49.280
<v Speaker 5>miserable Trump and his cronies are politicizing it, of course,

0:18:49.359 --> 0:18:53.359
<v Speaker 5>for their own advantage. They're blaming Gavin Newson. They're blaming

0:18:53.400 --> 0:18:57.280
<v Speaker 5>the Democrats. Funny, he doesn't blame the Red States for

0:18:57.680 --> 0:19:04.439
<v Speaker 5>hurricanes and tornadoes and floods. No, he's a miserable man

0:19:04.480 --> 0:19:06.320
<v Speaker 5>out for his own good. And by the way, he

0:19:06.359 --> 0:19:07.720
<v Speaker 5>doesn't live in climate change.

0:19:07.760 --> 0:19:08.359
<v Speaker 1>It's a hoax.

0:19:09.000 --> 0:19:11.600
<v Speaker 5>So you know what we are in big trouble.

0:19:12.840 --> 0:19:14.360
<v Speaker 1>Where do you start.

0:19:14.480 --> 0:19:18.040
<v Speaker 3>Well, the difference between hurricanes and tornadoes and fires is

0:19:18.560 --> 0:19:21.919
<v Speaker 3>you can't cause a hurricane or tornado or fight a

0:19:22.000 --> 0:19:25.639
<v Speaker 3>hurricane or tornado. You can only do a stella rescue

0:19:25.720 --> 0:19:26.800
<v Speaker 3>and recovery job.

0:19:26.680 --> 0:19:29.520
<v Speaker 1>Which Ron de Santa's and others like him managed to do.

0:19:30.000 --> 0:19:33.639
<v Speaker 3>But you can do plenty to prevent the severity of fires,

0:19:33.720 --> 0:19:38.800
<v Speaker 3>like managing the fuel loads, a forest management, water management,

0:19:38.880 --> 0:19:43.200
<v Speaker 3>having a well resourced fire department plenty. Well, we'll speak

0:19:43.200 --> 0:19:45.800
<v Speaker 3>about that a little bit later, but first let's check

0:19:45.840 --> 0:19:49.359
<v Speaker 3>in on just how violently deranged the left have become

0:19:49.840 --> 0:19:54.840
<v Speaker 3>where they literally defend and indeed celebrate murder on the streets.

0:19:55.280 --> 0:19:59.919
<v Speaker 10>So the CEO of the multi billion dollar you know

0:20:00.040 --> 0:20:03.600
<v Speaker 10>I did healthcare insurance company was shot and killed this

0:20:03.720 --> 0:20:05.800
<v Speaker 10>morning in New York City. And I will say that

0:20:05.920 --> 0:20:09.760
<v Speaker 10>it is it is pretty tragic that the shooter was

0:20:09.800 --> 0:20:11.000
<v Speaker 10>only able to get one of them.

0:20:11.000 --> 0:20:13.040
<v Speaker 4>But it's a good start. I mean, it's a good,

0:20:13.480 --> 0:20:16.800
<v Speaker 4>good foundation. Good. We can only only move up from here.

0:20:17.320 --> 0:20:19.520
<v Speaker 4>And before any of you come at me with oh

0:20:19.560 --> 0:20:23.160
<v Speaker 4>my god, I can't believe you'd say that, go for yourself. Seriously,

0:20:23.960 --> 0:20:24.920
<v Speaker 4>go for yourself.

0:20:25.320 --> 0:20:29.760
<v Speaker 3>Now, bring you worrying news about Rosie O'Donnell, who's teds

0:20:29.840 --> 0:20:32.879
<v Speaker 3>maybe causing an outbreak off herpes.

0:20:33.359 --> 0:20:35.840
<v Speaker 8>And look what I have on my lip. Everybody's been

0:20:35.880 --> 0:20:38.520
<v Speaker 8>saying you have herpes, You have herpes all this time.

0:20:38.600 --> 0:20:40.639
<v Speaker 8>And I never had a cold sore in my life,

0:20:41.160 --> 0:20:43.360
<v Speaker 8>and now I have a cold soar, and it makes

0:20:43.440 --> 0:20:46.119
<v Speaker 8>me think that perhaps this weird pimple that had a

0:20:46.200 --> 0:20:48.800
<v Speaker 8>tiny little head was a cold soar too.

0:20:49.000 --> 0:20:49.600
<v Speaker 1>So I don't know.

0:20:49.680 --> 0:20:51.639
<v Speaker 8>I will let you know tomorrow if I do in

0:20:51.680 --> 0:20:55.360
<v Speaker 8>fact have herpes. As some of the taunting from the

0:20:55.440 --> 0:20:58.000
<v Speaker 8>MEGA people in the last.

0:20:58.200 --> 0:21:00.560
<v Speaker 11>Couple uh of weeks.

0:21:00.560 --> 0:21:03.840
<v Speaker 8>Hasn't it been fun, ladies and gentlemen, to be standing

0:21:03.880 --> 0:21:09.960
<v Speaker 8>in direct opposition to everything he is and represents and

0:21:10.040 --> 0:21:14.000
<v Speaker 8>always happened and always will be.

0:21:14.359 --> 0:21:18.280
<v Speaker 1>She's right. The feud with President Donald Trump goes a

0:21:18.320 --> 0:21:21.320
<v Speaker 1>long way back, years and years. You might remember this

0:21:21.359 --> 0:21:22.680
<v Speaker 1>from twenty sixteen.

0:21:23.280 --> 0:21:27.760
<v Speaker 12>You've called women you don't like fat pigs, dogs, slavs,

0:21:28.359 --> 0:21:29.879
<v Speaker 12>and disgusting animals.

0:21:30.520 --> 0:21:31.760
<v Speaker 1>Your Twitter account.

0:21:31.440 --> 0:21:35.320
<v Speaker 9>Only rosio o'donald, No, it.

0:21:35.280 --> 0:21:41.520
<v Speaker 1>Wasn't your Twitter account.

0:21:45.920 --> 0:21:49.439
<v Speaker 3>Now, let's check in with leftist Supreme Court Justice Katanji

0:21:49.600 --> 0:21:54.639
<v Speaker 3>Brown Jackson. She's now made her Broadway debut, yes, in

0:21:54.720 --> 0:21:59.200
<v Speaker 3>a production called Anne Juliet, which is a queer twist.

0:21:58.920 --> 0:22:09.639
<v Speaker 1>On Romeo and Juliet. Of course it is female empowerment sick.

0:22:11.160 --> 0:22:11.960
<v Speaker 1>I like it too.

0:22:12.720 --> 0:22:14.520
<v Speaker 5>I think what I like about it is that I

0:22:14.560 --> 0:22:18.159
<v Speaker 5>am having it very strongly negative reaction to it, like

0:22:18.240 --> 0:22:20.640
<v Speaker 5>I hate it, which.

0:22:20.440 --> 0:22:23.680
<v Speaker 3>Makes me think it must be Oh, you'll remember that's

0:22:23.760 --> 0:22:25.800
<v Speaker 3>the woman who didn't know what a woman was. She

0:22:25.880 --> 0:22:28.560
<v Speaker 3>thought you had to have a biology degree to answer

0:22:28.680 --> 0:22:29.320
<v Speaker 3>that question.

0:22:30.080 --> 0:22:31.840
<v Speaker 1>Let's go to the next next clip.

0:22:32.119 --> 0:22:35.240
<v Speaker 3>It's pretty incredible and if you want to see the decay,

0:22:35.400 --> 0:22:38.800
<v Speaker 3>the lawlessness that exists in parts of America. Then this

0:22:38.880 --> 0:22:44.119
<v Speaker 3>clip demonstrates it perfectly. Here you have thieves threatening to

0:22:44.200 --> 0:22:47.840
<v Speaker 3>call the cops on the storekeeper if he doesn't open

0:22:47.880 --> 0:22:50.000
<v Speaker 3>the doors so they can take their loot home.

0:22:56.760 --> 0:22:57.040
<v Speaker 1>Open.

0:23:00.119 --> 0:23:27.040
<v Speaker 13>Okay there, glhead Cola.

0:23:28.440 --> 0:23:32.880
<v Speaker 3>The sense of entitlement is off the charts. Let's look

0:23:32.880 --> 0:23:35.560
<v Speaker 3>at a new Netflix program. I think this is a

0:23:35.560 --> 0:23:38.520
<v Speaker 3>movie that looks like it was made by the jokesters

0:23:38.560 --> 0:23:42.320
<v Speaker 3>at Babylon B. This is a true story. This is

0:23:42.359 --> 0:23:46.440
<v Speaker 3>not something they've made up. But I've got to say,

0:23:46.720 --> 0:23:49.560
<v Speaker 3>as lefties often do, they will destroy the telling of

0:23:49.600 --> 0:23:53.119
<v Speaker 3>this important story with their usual self delight and idiocy.

0:23:53.840 --> 0:23:58.960
<v Speaker 3>This is a movie called six Triple eight starring Oprah's president.

0:23:59.160 --> 0:24:02.080
<v Speaker 8>This is Simon is proven to be legistical nightmare.

0:24:03.320 --> 0:24:09.120
<v Speaker 1>The women's you mean the white women's, Amy col.

0:24:12.640 --> 0:24:15.840
<v Speaker 12>They did not send us because they thought we could

0:24:15.920 --> 0:24:16.320
<v Speaker 12>do it.

0:24:16.560 --> 0:24:18.480
<v Speaker 4>We are here because.

0:24:18.119 --> 0:24:20.440
<v Speaker 1>They are sure we cannot.

0:24:20.960 --> 0:24:24.919
<v Speaker 3>Now to this attention saking victim who is complaining about

0:24:24.920 --> 0:24:30.720
<v Speaker 3>a wine tasting at a castle because he was misgendered again, our.

0:24:30.640 --> 0:24:34.080
<v Speaker 7>Server said yes, sir, when I was asking some questions,

0:24:34.119 --> 0:24:36.199
<v Speaker 7>and I said, oh no, no, no, I'm actually not

0:24:36.400 --> 0:24:39.920
<v Speaker 7>a sir. And instead of apologizing or I don't know

0:24:39.960 --> 0:24:42.239
<v Speaker 7>what else you would do other than apologize, they just

0:24:42.440 --> 0:24:46.160
<v Speaker 7>walked away, did not acknowledge what I said, just walked away.

0:24:46.280 --> 0:24:48.680
<v Speaker 7>We saw the server like whispering to a manager, and

0:24:48.720 --> 0:24:51.320
<v Speaker 7>a few minutes later the manager came over in a

0:24:51.320 --> 0:24:54.880
<v Speaker 7>really big smile, not acknowledging at all that the misgender

0:24:54.920 --> 0:24:57.479
<v Speaker 7>had happened. And I say, hey, look, the last person

0:24:57.640 --> 0:25:00.120
<v Speaker 7>they misgendered me and that really hurt. And they just

0:25:00.160 --> 0:25:03.000
<v Speaker 7>walked away, and the manager said, oh, well, some people

0:25:03.240 --> 0:25:05.440
<v Speaker 7>just aren't as progressive as you. And then they gave

0:25:05.520 --> 0:25:08.040
<v Speaker 7>us a nice little chocolate that suggested they wanted our

0:25:08.080 --> 0:25:10.840
<v Speaker 7>money but didn't want to say sorry. So we left

0:25:10.960 --> 0:25:12.800
<v Speaker 7>and got a full refund.

0:25:12.520 --> 0:25:13.440
<v Speaker 1>So they annoyed.

0:25:13.480 --> 0:25:16.720
<v Speaker 3>The servers got a free meal, and they're still complaining.

0:25:17.440 --> 0:25:20.200
<v Speaker 3>Let's go back to the devastating California fives and that

0:25:20.400 --> 0:25:24.040
<v Speaker 3>DEI madness that has afflicted the estate, the far left

0:25:24.080 --> 0:25:29.000
<v Speaker 3>Democrat stronghold of California, where the LA Fire Department Assistant

0:25:29.040 --> 0:25:32.879
<v Speaker 3>Chief Christine Larson has made statements like this. When we

0:25:32.920 --> 0:25:35.800
<v Speaker 3>talk about woke lunacy, folks, this.

0:25:35.680 --> 0:25:36.320
<v Speaker 1>Is what we mean.

0:25:36.840 --> 0:25:39.679
<v Speaker 14>You want to see somebody that responds to your house,

0:25:39.800 --> 0:25:42.440
<v Speaker 14>your emergency, whether it's a medical call or a fire call,

0:25:42.720 --> 0:25:45.120
<v Speaker 14>that looks like you. It gives that person a little

0:25:45.119 --> 0:25:48.680
<v Speaker 14>bit more ease knowing that somebody might understand their situation better.

0:25:49.000 --> 0:25:51.320
<v Speaker 14>Is she strong enough to do this? Or you couldn't

0:25:51.320 --> 0:25:54.000
<v Speaker 14>carry my husband out of a fire, which my response

0:25:54.119 --> 0:25:55.879
<v Speaker 14>is he got himself from the wrong place. If I

0:25:55.920 --> 0:25:57.800
<v Speaker 14>have to carry him out of a fire.

0:26:02.720 --> 0:26:03.879
<v Speaker 1>Where does one start.

0:26:04.280 --> 0:26:08.000
<v Speaker 3>I don't care if zero point five percent of firefighters

0:26:08.000 --> 0:26:10.560
<v Speaker 3>a female. The last thing I and I think any

0:26:10.600 --> 0:26:13.359
<v Speaker 3>sane person cares about if face with a deadly fire,

0:26:13.520 --> 0:26:16.879
<v Speaker 3>is the diversity of those who are rescuing me.

0:26:17.000 --> 0:26:18.600
<v Speaker 1>Can you believe she actually said there?

0:26:18.640 --> 0:26:20.840
<v Speaker 3>It doesn't matter if she can't carry a man to

0:26:20.920 --> 0:26:24.760
<v Speaker 3>safety because he shouldn't have got himself in the wrong place.

0:26:24.880 --> 0:26:27.440
<v Speaker 1>That's the attitude we've got in the fire department.

0:26:28.200 --> 0:26:31.120
<v Speaker 3>Now, let's check in with la Mayor Karen Bass, who

0:26:31.200 --> 0:26:35.160
<v Speaker 3>had these words of comfort for her constituents after returning

0:26:35.200 --> 0:26:36.520
<v Speaker 3>from an overseas junkard.

0:26:36.960 --> 0:26:39.640
<v Speaker 15>Do you owe citizens and apology for being absent while

0:26:39.640 --> 0:26:43.280
<v Speaker 15>their homes were burning? Do you regret coming the fire

0:26:43.320 --> 0:26:48.280
<v Speaker 15>department budget by millions of dollars, Madam, there have you

0:26:48.400 --> 0:26:53.240
<v Speaker 15>nothing to say today that? Have you absolutely nothing to

0:26:53.280 --> 0:26:57.400
<v Speaker 15>say to the citizens today? Elon Mosk says that you're

0:26:57.480 --> 0:27:04.520
<v Speaker 15>utterly incompetent. Are you considering your position, madam mayor have

0:27:04.560 --> 0:27:07.080
<v Speaker 15>you absolutely nothing to say to the citizens today who

0:27:07.080 --> 0:27:08.560
<v Speaker 15>are dealing with this disaster?

0:27:12.240 --> 0:27:12.480
<v Speaker 16>Now?

0:27:12.520 --> 0:27:15.280
<v Speaker 3>She promised she will not use her position for these

0:27:15.400 --> 0:27:19.600
<v Speaker 3>overseas trips, but she was gallivanting around Ghana when the

0:27:19.680 --> 0:27:23.640
<v Speaker 3>fires started. But the lefties are turning on each other

0:27:23.680 --> 0:27:26.800
<v Speaker 3>in California, here is La Fire Chief Chris and Cally

0:27:27.400 --> 0:27:30.439
<v Speaker 3>admitting that she has been failed by the City of

0:27:30.440 --> 0:27:31.240
<v Speaker 3>Los Angeles.

0:27:31.520 --> 0:27:33.480
<v Speaker 5>Does the City of Los Angeles fail you and your

0:27:33.480 --> 0:27:34.679
<v Speaker 5>department and our city?

0:27:35.359 --> 0:27:38.119
<v Speaker 12>It's my job to stand up as a chief and

0:27:38.520 --> 0:27:43.480
<v Speaker 12>exactly say justifiably what the fire department needs to operate

0:27:43.520 --> 0:27:45.480
<v Speaker 12>to meet the demands of the community.

0:27:45.600 --> 0:27:46.320
<v Speaker 17>Did they fail you?

0:27:46.480 --> 0:27:48.639
<v Speaker 12>That is our job and I tell you that's why

0:27:48.640 --> 0:27:50.560
<v Speaker 12>I'm here. So let's get us what we need so

0:27:50.680 --> 0:27:52.040
<v Speaker 12>firefighters can do their jobs.

0:27:52.200 --> 0:27:52.960
<v Speaker 1>Do they fail you?

0:27:54.080 --> 0:27:54.320
<v Speaker 6>Yes?

0:27:55.480 --> 0:27:58.679
<v Speaker 3>Still to come, they always roll. Alex Stein joins me

0:27:58.760 --> 0:28:01.679
<v Speaker 3>with the latest from the US AS, including increasing pressure

0:28:01.720 --> 0:28:05.840
<v Speaker 3>on Donald Trump to release all of the January six prisoners,

0:28:11.359 --> 0:28:14.200
<v Speaker 3>you're watching the Rita Panicky Show. Joining me now is

0:28:14.320 --> 0:28:17.520
<v Speaker 3>comedian and host of Prime Time with Alex Stein on

0:28:17.600 --> 0:28:21.720
<v Speaker 3>Blaze TV. Alex Stein, he is my second favorite Texan

0:28:22.200 --> 0:28:22.840
<v Speaker 3>in the world.

0:28:23.040 --> 0:28:23.440
<v Speaker 1>Alex.

0:28:23.920 --> 0:28:28.040
<v Speaker 3>Let's start with jd Vance, the incoming Vice president, has

0:28:28.080 --> 0:28:32.240
<v Speaker 3>said that Donald Trump will issue pardons for peaceful.

0:28:31.680 --> 0:28:35.320
<v Speaker 1>January six protesters only. Is that enough?

0:28:35.400 --> 0:28:39.320
<v Speaker 3>Should every January sixth prisoner now be released. They've been

0:28:39.440 --> 0:28:42.280
<v Speaker 3>behind bars for several years.

0:28:42.800 --> 0:28:45.480
<v Speaker 4>Reader they should all be pardoned on day one.

0:28:45.520 --> 0:28:48.440
<v Speaker 17>This is something that I'm very passionate about because there

0:28:48.480 --> 0:28:51.160
<v Speaker 17>was a lot of bad actors play that day, and

0:28:51.200 --> 0:28:53.960
<v Speaker 17>there's people that were pushed in there that didn't even

0:28:54.000 --> 0:28:55.640
<v Speaker 17>know what they were doing, and there was a lot

0:28:55.720 --> 0:28:58.120
<v Speaker 17>of bad actors. And if Donald Trump does not pardon them,

0:28:58.120 --> 0:29:00.520
<v Speaker 17>because what it comes down to is whether they acted

0:29:00.600 --> 0:29:04.840
<v Speaker 17>bad or not. Nobody that had a trial in Washington,

0:29:04.920 --> 0:29:06.560
<v Speaker 17>DC had a fair trial.

0:29:06.800 --> 0:29:09.200
<v Speaker 4>All of the trials were rigged against them.

0:29:09.240 --> 0:29:11.440
<v Speaker 17>So because of that, because they weren't on a level

0:29:11.440 --> 0:29:13.920
<v Speaker 17>playing field legally, and nothing was fair when it came

0:29:13.960 --> 0:29:16.840
<v Speaker 17>to the legal system, they all deserve a pardon, even

0:29:16.880 --> 0:29:20.680
<v Speaker 17>if they did something that would be considered violent. Because

0:29:20.880 --> 0:29:23.360
<v Speaker 17>none of them got a fair shake. So Donald Trump

0:29:23.440 --> 0:29:25.080
<v Speaker 17>has to do that, not just on day one, but

0:29:25.120 --> 0:29:27.640
<v Speaker 17>it has to get done very fast. People will give them,

0:29:28.400 --> 0:29:31.040
<v Speaker 17>the cabinets some time to get this done, but it

0:29:31.160 --> 0:29:33.680
<v Speaker 17>has to be done, and it needs to be a

0:29:33.760 --> 0:29:36.120
<v Speaker 17>high priority, probably the most important priority.

0:29:38.800 --> 0:29:41.760
<v Speaker 3>This is a big issue for a lot of Donald

0:29:41.800 --> 0:29:45.360
<v Speaker 3>Trump's supporters. This is something the media doesn't seem to understand.

0:29:45.560 --> 0:29:49.920
<v Speaker 3>This is not a secondary issue. The lawfare that has

0:29:50.000 --> 0:29:54.120
<v Speaker 3>taken place in that country, not just against President Trump,

0:29:54.200 --> 0:29:57.440
<v Speaker 3>but also against his supporters, against conservatives.

0:29:58.080 --> 0:30:01.120
<v Speaker 1>That was a big issue in the election campaign.

0:30:01.160 --> 0:30:04.479
<v Speaker 3>And I think the supporters of Donald Trump expect to

0:30:04.560 --> 0:30:08.160
<v Speaker 3>see actions now. He's talked a big game and they

0:30:08.200 --> 0:30:10.600
<v Speaker 3>now want to want to see him follow through with

0:30:10.640 --> 0:30:11.719
<v Speaker 3>some of those promises.

0:30:14.040 --> 0:30:16.840
<v Speaker 17>You're exactly right, and he has to, I mean cash Mattel.

0:30:16.920 --> 0:30:18.960
<v Speaker 17>A lot of people in the cabinet. They know that

0:30:19.000 --> 0:30:20.680
<v Speaker 17>nobody got a fair shake, and they know that a

0:30:20.680 --> 0:30:22.640
<v Speaker 17>lot of people's lives are ruined and just you know,

0:30:22.720 --> 0:30:25.680
<v Speaker 17>having the Department of Justice weaponize against American citizen.

0:30:25.720 --> 0:30:27.760
<v Speaker 4>Trump knows that the Department of.

0:30:27.800 --> 0:30:30.280
<v Speaker 17>Justice was weaponized against him, So he should be more

0:30:30.280 --> 0:30:33.040
<v Speaker 17>empathetic than anybody when it comes to January sixth, and

0:30:33.040 --> 0:30:35.080
<v Speaker 17>all those people were there because you know, they didn't

0:30:35.080 --> 0:30:38.440
<v Speaker 17>trust the election. And it's not Donald Trump's fault, but

0:30:38.480 --> 0:30:40.680
<v Speaker 17>I think that he can make it better and rectify it,

0:30:40.720 --> 0:30:44.240
<v Speaker 17>and he should use his power to do so.

0:30:44.440 --> 0:30:48.600
<v Speaker 3>Now there are reports that President Joe Biden, he's still president.

0:30:48.680 --> 0:30:51.200
<v Speaker 1>Is going to issue a preemptive.

0:30:50.680 --> 0:30:55.160
<v Speaker 3>Pardon for some of Donald Trump's enemies. He gave his

0:30:55.280 --> 0:31:00.360
<v Speaker 3>son Hunter sort of a preemptive one. He cleared of

0:31:00.400 --> 0:31:03.080
<v Speaker 3>all the charges he was facing in any charges he

0:31:03.120 --> 0:31:08.600
<v Speaker 3>may face, and this suggestions he might provide something similar

0:31:08.640 --> 0:31:14.440
<v Speaker 3>to the vice chairwoman of the January sixth Committee, Liz Cheney,

0:31:14.480 --> 0:31:15.400
<v Speaker 3>What do you think about that?

0:31:17.240 --> 0:31:19.400
<v Speaker 17>I mean, when it comes to Liz Cheney, this guy's

0:31:19.480 --> 0:31:21.120
<v Speaker 17>letting people out of Guntanamo obey.

0:31:21.280 --> 0:31:23.400
<v Speaker 4>I mean, there's nobody that Joe Biden won't pardon.

0:31:23.520 --> 0:31:25.760
<v Speaker 17>So the fact that he's going to pardon Liz Cheney,

0:31:26.040 --> 0:31:29.440
<v Speaker 17>I don't even care. You know, he's literally partnering some

0:31:29.480 --> 0:31:31.000
<v Speaker 17>of the most evil people in the world. So Liz

0:31:31.080 --> 0:31:36.200
<v Speaker 17>Cheney doesn't even move the scale in my opinion, and.

0:31:36.160 --> 0:31:40.080
<v Speaker 3>The number of people he is using his pardon powers

0:31:40.120 --> 0:31:43.280
<v Speaker 3>for is astonishing. We might look at that later in

0:31:43.320 --> 0:31:47.960
<v Speaker 3>the week, but some would say he's abusing that privilege. Well,

0:31:48.000 --> 0:31:51.240
<v Speaker 3>he's certainly abusing it in the people he's selecting to pardon.

0:31:51.960 --> 0:31:54.480
<v Speaker 3>Special Counsel Jack Smith. I want to talk to you

0:31:54.520 --> 0:31:57.719
<v Speaker 3>about him, Alex. He's the man who was at the

0:31:57.800 --> 0:32:00.959
<v Speaker 3>forefront of the witch hunt against Donald Trump. He has

0:32:01.000 --> 0:32:04.280
<v Speaker 3>now resigned from the Department of Justice after submitting his

0:32:04.320 --> 0:32:09.760
<v Speaker 3>final report yesterday. Donald Trump has reacted to his resignation.

0:32:10.120 --> 0:32:14.520
<v Speaker 3>He said that Smith was fired. He wrote on truth

0:32:14.600 --> 0:32:18.320
<v Speaker 3>Social Deranged. Jack Smith was fired today by the DOJ.

0:32:18.520 --> 0:32:21.760
<v Speaker 3>He is a disgrace to himself, his family, and his country.

0:32:22.160 --> 0:32:25.280
<v Speaker 3>After spending over one hundred million on the witch hunt

0:32:25.320 --> 0:32:29.640
<v Speaker 3>against Trump, he left town empty handed. And let's have

0:32:29.680 --> 0:32:32.960
<v Speaker 3>a listen to what incoming FBI Chief Cash Patel had

0:32:33.000 --> 0:32:34.240
<v Speaker 3>to say about Smith.

0:32:34.600 --> 0:32:38.200
<v Speaker 2>A little while ago, the judge just unsealed documents in

0:32:38.240 --> 0:32:42.040
<v Speaker 2>the Jack Smith case down in Florida, which says the

0:32:42.360 --> 0:32:46.800
<v Speaker 2>prosecutors themselves have admitted to tampering with evidence, to moving

0:32:46.840 --> 0:32:51.200
<v Speaker 2>the very boxes from one location outside of DC to

0:32:51.480 --> 0:32:54.680
<v Speaker 2>South Florida before they ever even charged Donald Trump. How

0:32:54.840 --> 0:32:58.120
<v Speaker 2>in the world can you not be prosecuting and charging

0:32:58.280 --> 0:33:01.680
<v Speaker 2>these constitutional gangers that are at DOJ, and they learn

0:33:01.720 --> 0:33:04.880
<v Speaker 2>it from the same place, the top downs, the same ags,

0:33:05.000 --> 0:33:07.880
<v Speaker 2>the same decks, the same FBI directors who are cheering

0:33:07.880 --> 0:33:12.040
<v Speaker 2>them on. Judge Cannon should be implementing actual contempt proceedings

0:33:12.440 --> 0:33:15.800
<v Speaker 2>against Jack Smith and the Department of Justice, flying to

0:33:15.840 --> 0:33:20.720
<v Speaker 2>a federal judge and withholding evidence of exclusion and innocence.

0:33:20.400 --> 0:33:21.360
<v Speaker 4>From Donald Trump.

0:33:21.560 --> 0:33:23.840
<v Speaker 2>Those contempt proceedings would be righteous and I'd like to

0:33:23.880 --> 0:33:26.360
<v Speaker 2>see those. Maybe we could put Jack Smith in prison.

0:33:27.280 --> 0:33:30.840
<v Speaker 1>Wow, that's Cash Ptel on the Benny Show.

0:33:30.840 --> 0:33:34.120
<v Speaker 3>What do you think, Alex Should Jack Smith end up

0:33:34.160 --> 0:33:34.960
<v Speaker 3>behind Boz?

0:33:36.600 --> 0:33:39.840
<v Speaker 17>I mean, honestly, I don't disagree with anything that Cash said.

0:33:39.920 --> 0:33:42.720
<v Speaker 17>I mean, these people have weaponized our Department of Justice

0:33:42.800 --> 0:33:45.520
<v Speaker 17>or what we call the Department of Injustice against American

0:33:45.560 --> 0:33:48.680
<v Speaker 17>citizens and the top American citizen, Donald Trump, and he

0:33:48.720 --> 0:33:49.800
<v Speaker 17>hasn't gotten a fair shake.

0:33:49.840 --> 0:33:51.360
<v Speaker 4>And that's why you could say that.

0:33:51.720 --> 0:33:55.280
<v Speaker 17>You know, his first term and the presidency was constantly

0:33:55.320 --> 0:33:59.200
<v Speaker 17>plagued by people like this attacking him and going after him,

0:33:59.200 --> 0:33:59.959
<v Speaker 17>trying to impede.

0:34:00.440 --> 0:34:02.640
<v Speaker 4>So people like this need to learn their lesson.

0:34:02.720 --> 0:34:05.080
<v Speaker 17>I don't know if they will actually prosecute them but

0:34:05.080 --> 0:34:07.400
<v Speaker 17>people need to stop messing with Donald Trump and try

0:34:07.480 --> 0:34:10.120
<v Speaker 17>to help him make this country great again. I mean,

0:34:10.160 --> 0:34:14.200
<v Speaker 17>California is on fire, we're having terrorist attacks, everybody's worried

0:34:14.200 --> 0:34:16.719
<v Speaker 17>for their lives readA. And that's not really just an

0:34:16.719 --> 0:34:17.600
<v Speaker 17>over exaggeration.

0:34:17.760 --> 0:34:18.200
<v Speaker 4>America.

0:34:18.320 --> 0:34:21.880
<v Speaker 17>We're just everything shifted and everybody's expecting something big to happen,

0:34:22.200 --> 0:34:25.040
<v Speaker 17>and we need these people to all come together, whether

0:34:25.040 --> 0:34:28.240
<v Speaker 17>they're liberal, it doesn't matter if they're conservative and support

0:34:28.280 --> 0:34:31.080
<v Speaker 17>the president. He's been elected in my opinion, three times

0:34:31.120 --> 0:34:33.880
<v Speaker 17>in a row, and definitely two times, so he deserves

0:34:33.920 --> 0:34:37.000
<v Speaker 17>America's respect, and people like Jack Smith see you later.

0:34:37.160 --> 0:34:39.439
<v Speaker 4>I would not want to switch positions with you right now.

0:34:41.719 --> 0:34:44.799
<v Speaker 3>Yes, the rubbish is taking itself out, but I think

0:34:44.840 --> 0:34:49.280
<v Speaker 3>you'd be naive to think the swamp, the bureaucracy, whatever

0:34:49.280 --> 0:34:52.840
<v Speaker 3>you want to call them, are going to say the

0:34:52.880 --> 0:34:56.920
<v Speaker 3>president has a mandate and we're going to implement his policies.

0:34:56.960 --> 0:35:00.480
<v Speaker 3>I think they're going to do everything that can straight

0:35:00.520 --> 0:35:04.080
<v Speaker 3>his agenda, to undermine him, to white hand him. But

0:35:04.160 --> 0:35:06.759
<v Speaker 3>I think this time around you're going to get a

0:35:06.840 --> 0:35:10.640
<v Speaker 3>very different Donald Trump. He's aware of what they're going

0:35:10.680 --> 0:35:13.000
<v Speaker 3>to do, and I think he's going to going there

0:35:13.120 --> 0:35:16.759
<v Speaker 3>fully equipped to deal with that bureaucracy, let's hope. So

0:35:17.160 --> 0:35:19.760
<v Speaker 3>there is a little bit of conflict within the MAGA

0:35:19.760 --> 0:35:24.960
<v Speaker 3>camp though, and it's continuing. Steve Bannon has slashed out

0:35:24.960 --> 0:35:30.040
<v Speaker 3>at Elon Musk, calling him evil. His slammed musk support

0:35:30.120 --> 0:35:35.280
<v Speaker 3>for the skilled worker visa program, which Silicon Valley loves,

0:35:36.400 --> 0:35:39.880
<v Speaker 3>and he said that he's planning to limit Musk's ability

0:35:39.920 --> 0:35:43.200
<v Speaker 3>to influence Donald Trump's agenda. He said, why do we

0:35:43.239 --> 0:35:46.320
<v Speaker 3>have South Africans, the most racist people on earth, white

0:35:46.360 --> 0:35:49.879
<v Speaker 3>South Africans making any comments at all on what goes

0:35:49.920 --> 0:35:54.560
<v Speaker 3>on in the United States, He told an Italian newspaper,

0:35:54.600 --> 0:35:55.600
<v Speaker 3>and he said, also.

0:35:55.440 --> 0:35:57.720
<v Speaker 1>Elon Musk should go back to South Africa.

0:35:57.840 --> 0:35:58.160
<v Speaker 4>Wow.

0:35:58.920 --> 0:36:03.799
<v Speaker 3>Is this causing many waves within the Trump camp? Or

0:36:03.880 --> 0:36:07.560
<v Speaker 3>are you always going to have some level of disagreement

0:36:07.600 --> 0:36:11.719
<v Speaker 3>even if it's a robust disagreement when you've got such

0:36:11.719 --> 0:36:14.719
<v Speaker 3>a big majority of people with different world views who

0:36:14.760 --> 0:36:19.840
<v Speaker 3>are fundamentally part of the Trump agenda, But they're not

0:36:19.840 --> 0:36:21.800
<v Speaker 3>going to agree on every topic every time.

0:36:23.760 --> 0:36:25.359
<v Speaker 17>No, you know, I don't want to go as far

0:36:25.400 --> 0:36:27.840
<v Speaker 17>as Steve ben and say that we need to deport

0:36:28.000 --> 0:36:30.480
<v Speaker 17>Elon Musk, but a lot of conservatives have always been

0:36:30.520 --> 0:36:33.880
<v Speaker 17>kind of a little bit more wary of Elon because

0:36:33.880 --> 0:36:35.719
<v Speaker 17>you know, he's into neurallink, where he wants to hook

0:36:35.719 --> 0:36:38.839
<v Speaker 17>a computer up to your brain, and you know, to us,

0:36:38.960 --> 0:36:41.879
<v Speaker 17>that just seems kind of weird to normal human beings

0:36:41.920 --> 0:36:43.400
<v Speaker 17>that they're going to have a computer hooks to their

0:36:43.400 --> 0:36:45.720
<v Speaker 17>brain so they can park their tesla and listen.

0:36:45.840 --> 0:36:47.880
<v Speaker 4>Elon Musk has done so many great things when it

0:36:47.880 --> 0:36:49.279
<v Speaker 4>comes to free speech on X.

0:36:49.320 --> 0:36:51.480
<v Speaker 17>I love Elon Musk, but at the same time, you know,

0:36:51.880 --> 0:36:55.760
<v Speaker 17>he is a immigrant in our country and he's calling

0:36:55.800 --> 0:36:57.799
<v Speaker 17>the shots, some really important shots, So I think that

0:36:57.920 --> 0:37:01.480
<v Speaker 17>just makes people always skeptic call of you know, the

0:37:01.520 --> 0:37:04.239
<v Speaker 17>people that are in power. But honestly, when it comes

0:37:04.280 --> 0:37:06.520
<v Speaker 17>to Elon muss as long as he keeps Twitter where

0:37:06.520 --> 0:37:08.800
<v Speaker 17>I can survive on there, I'm going to respect Elon.

0:37:08.960 --> 0:37:11.080
<v Speaker 17>You know, he wants to go to Mars, so dang bad.

0:37:11.600 --> 0:37:13.960
<v Speaker 17>I think we need to worry about America first, you

0:37:14.000 --> 0:37:15.440
<v Speaker 17>know what I mean, And I think we should put

0:37:15.440 --> 0:37:18.279
<v Speaker 17>America before Mars. But rather than that, Elon's a good

0:37:18.280 --> 0:37:21.279
<v Speaker 17>guy and I support him.

0:37:21.400 --> 0:37:22.760
<v Speaker 1>Now before you go, Alex.

0:37:22.880 --> 0:37:27.120
<v Speaker 3>Donald Trump has posted footage of his viral exchange with

0:37:27.200 --> 0:37:33.120
<v Speaker 3>that President Barack Obama at President Carter's funeral. I've got

0:37:33.120 --> 0:37:36.200
<v Speaker 3>to say, this is hilarious stuff, and I like to

0:37:36.239 --> 0:37:39.759
<v Speaker 3>believe it's pretty close to the actual discussion they had.

0:37:40.680 --> 0:37:46.120
<v Speaker 9>Well, mister president, for a second term. Bro, I'm very

0:37:46.200 --> 0:37:47.200
<v Speaker 9>nice to see.

0:37:47.800 --> 0:37:50.520
<v Speaker 10>Congratulations the hell you do it a lot.

0:37:50.360 --> 0:37:51.120
<v Speaker 4>Better, Dan Hell.

0:37:51.200 --> 0:37:53.400
<v Speaker 15>I bet I know when.

0:37:53.880 --> 0:37:57.600
<v Speaker 11>Totally well, come on, anyone could beat her.

0:37:59.239 --> 0:38:02.240
<v Speaker 4>I was just as a you know what happened.

0:38:02.560 --> 0:38:03.839
<v Speaker 9>He just didn't want to leave.

0:38:04.280 --> 0:38:07.359
<v Speaker 4>I know is what happened. I did what I could

0:38:07.360 --> 0:38:09.080
<v Speaker 4>to help her. She was for a singer.

0:38:09.960 --> 0:38:10.320
<v Speaker 13>Do you know what?

0:38:10.440 --> 0:38:11.400
<v Speaker 11>I realized.

0:38:13.360 --> 0:38:13.799
<v Speaker 17>So much?

0:38:14.480 --> 0:38:15.880
<v Speaker 4>I know she'll never forget me.

0:38:19.760 --> 0:38:21.960
<v Speaker 3>I wonder if one day we will have lip readers

0:38:22.000 --> 0:38:24.759
<v Speaker 3>tell us precisely what was said there. But what do

0:38:24.800 --> 0:38:29.080
<v Speaker 3>you think of the fact that, after everything Barack Obama

0:38:29.200 --> 0:38:35.080
<v Speaker 3>threw at Donald Trump, calling him a fascist, modern day hitler,

0:38:35.680 --> 0:38:38.160
<v Speaker 3>spreading all sorts of lies about him, even the most

0:38:38.280 --> 0:38:43.319
<v Speaker 3>debunked lies about the very fine people hoax, he sat

0:38:43.400 --> 0:38:47.680
<v Speaker 3>down and had to chat with him, was very very

0:38:47.719 --> 0:38:54.120
<v Speaker 3>friendly and polite. Is that a surprise or is everything

0:38:54.320 --> 0:38:56.400
<v Speaker 3>forgiven in the world of politics.

0:38:58.320 --> 0:38:59.919
<v Speaker 4>Well, I don't think anything's for again.

0:39:00.120 --> 0:39:03.000
<v Speaker 17>And there's no love loss between Barack Obama and Donald Trump.

0:39:03.040 --> 0:39:05.280
<v Speaker 17>But Barack is probably happy that he had an excuse

0:39:05.320 --> 0:39:07.239
<v Speaker 17>to not bring Michelle so he could just have a

0:39:07.280 --> 0:39:10.200
<v Speaker 17>boys trip with Donald And you saw him paling around

0:39:10.239 --> 0:39:13.200
<v Speaker 17>with George Bush. So you know, Barack Obama realizes that

0:39:13.200 --> 0:39:15.399
<v Speaker 17>they are in a special fraternity of men that very

0:39:15.440 --> 0:39:18.280
<v Speaker 17>few people are. You know, there's only been forty seven

0:39:18.320 --> 0:39:19.240
<v Speaker 17>presidents there.

0:39:19.280 --> 0:39:20.440
<v Speaker 4>I mean, let's excuse me.

0:39:20.440 --> 0:39:24.239
<v Speaker 17>There's been more presidents than that, less than that, but

0:39:24.280 --> 0:39:24.840
<v Speaker 17>I'm saying.

0:39:24.640 --> 0:39:27.000
<v Speaker 4>There's actually presidents before the first president there.

0:39:27.080 --> 0:39:29.040
<v Speaker 17>So you know, there's a lot of conspiracies behind how

0:39:29.080 --> 0:39:30.920
<v Speaker 17>many presidents you've ever had. And I'm saying that on

0:39:30.920 --> 0:39:33.040
<v Speaker 17>Sky News, but you got to look into that. But Rita,

0:39:33.120 --> 0:39:35.239
<v Speaker 17>I'm just saying they're in a very special fraternity. So

0:39:35.280 --> 0:39:36.840
<v Speaker 17>they're all kind of friends, you know at the end of.

0:39:36.840 --> 0:39:39.480
<v Speaker 1>The day, right, Yeah.

0:39:39.520 --> 0:39:42.960
<v Speaker 3>And I always got the feeling that Barack never really

0:39:43.080 --> 0:39:46.000
<v Speaker 3>rated Kamala Harris. He may have campaigned for her, but

0:39:46.120 --> 0:39:49.439
<v Speaker 3>I mean he's campaigning wasn't very helpful, but he never

0:39:49.520 --> 0:39:51.520
<v Speaker 3>thought he had his heart in it, just the same

0:39:51.560 --> 0:39:54.319
<v Speaker 3>with President Biden, and I think he really thought he

0:39:54.400 --> 0:39:55.239
<v Speaker 3>was up to it either.

0:39:55.600 --> 0:39:57.880
<v Speaker 1>Alex Stein, thank you so much for your time this evening.

0:39:59.080 --> 0:39:59.680
<v Speaker 4>Thank you, Rita.

0:40:00.000 --> 0:40:02.360
<v Speaker 17>It's a pleasure and I missed you so Happy Holiday's,

0:40:02.360 --> 0:40:05.239
<v Speaker 17>Happy new Year. Let's go sky News, Thank you, Rita.

0:40:06.200 --> 0:40:08.719
<v Speaker 3>Still to come, we'll bring you the latest from Hollywood,

0:40:08.719 --> 0:40:12.160
<v Speaker 3>where celebrities are battling the deadly California fires.

0:40:12.239 --> 0:40:20.799
<v Speaker 1>Kinsey Schofield joins me next. Welcome back.

0:40:20.920 --> 0:40:25.680
<v Speaker 3>Joining me now is celebrity and rural commentator Kinsey Schofield. Kinsey,

0:40:26.239 --> 0:40:28.800
<v Speaker 3>let's hear from Joe Rogan and Mel Gibson.

0:40:29.480 --> 0:40:31.960
<v Speaker 1>And Mel Gibson had some very interesting.

0:40:31.600 --> 0:40:36.080
<v Speaker 3>Things to say about California Governor Gavin Newsom's failure to

0:40:36.160 --> 0:40:41.120
<v Speaker 3>prepare the state for these catastrophic wildfires that are ravaging La.

0:40:41.239 --> 0:40:44.520
<v Speaker 11>Still in twenty nineteen, I think Newsom said, you know,

0:40:44.560 --> 0:40:46.320
<v Speaker 11>I'm going to take care of the forest and maintain

0:40:46.400 --> 0:40:47.800
<v Speaker 11>the forests and do all that kind of stuff. He

0:40:47.840 --> 0:40:48.239
<v Speaker 11>didn't do.

0:40:48.160 --> 0:40:49.200
<v Speaker 9>Anything, didn't do anything.

0:40:49.239 --> 0:40:51.200
<v Speaker 4>And then on top of that, they cut the water off.

0:40:51.480 --> 0:40:53.759
<v Speaker 11>Yeah that's right. Yeah, it's all funny. And then I

0:40:53.840 --> 0:40:56.600
<v Speaker 11>think all our tax dollars probably went for Gavin's Hairjill.

0:40:57.080 --> 0:40:59.200
<v Speaker 11>I don't know, but it's like you know, it's that

0:40:59.560 --> 0:41:01.200
<v Speaker 11>it's like the place is just on fire.

0:41:01.520 --> 0:41:04.520
<v Speaker 4>Well, the whole state is just so poorly mannered.

0:41:05.160 --> 0:41:08.879
<v Speaker 3>Kinsey is everyone knows he's conservative. There's not too many

0:41:08.960 --> 0:41:14.000
<v Speaker 3>conservatives in Hollywood. He has to finance his own films

0:41:14.040 --> 0:41:16.600
<v Speaker 3>these days, but it seems to be working for him.

0:41:16.800 --> 0:41:21.080
<v Speaker 3>Is his opinion on this issue widely held in Hollywood

0:41:21.360 --> 0:41:25.520
<v Speaker 3>in California? Or are they blaming Donald Trump.

0:41:25.280 --> 0:41:27.680
<v Speaker 1>And climate change for these fires? And the response?

0:41:28.680 --> 0:41:31.040
<v Speaker 16>Yeah, you know, I do think he's given a lot

0:41:31.080 --> 0:41:34.360
<v Speaker 16>more credibility because his son is a firefighter out there.

0:41:34.600 --> 0:41:37.120
<v Speaker 16>His son is fighting these fires, so he does have

0:41:37.160 --> 0:41:40.160
<v Speaker 16>some inside information and some intel. But you know, I

0:41:40.200 --> 0:41:42.759
<v Speaker 16>do believe that the majority of people believe that this

0:41:42.920 --> 0:41:46.240
<v Speaker 16>is on the government. According to Fox News, Gavin Knewso

0:41:46.360 --> 0:41:49.680
<v Speaker 16>cut funding for wildlife and forest resilience by more than

0:41:49.920 --> 0:41:53.919
<v Speaker 16>one million just months before these wildfires. Mayor Karen Bass

0:41:53.960 --> 0:41:57.000
<v Speaker 16>initially tried to cut from the LA Fire Department's budget

0:41:57.200 --> 0:42:00.200
<v Speaker 16>twenty three million in twenty twenty four, but settled for

0:42:00.280 --> 0:42:04.040
<v Speaker 16>seventeen point six million in cuts, and she ordered an

0:42:04.080 --> 0:42:07.200
<v Speaker 16>additional forty nine million dollars in cuts to the fire

0:42:07.239 --> 0:42:11.080
<v Speaker 16>Department's budget a week before the fires started.

0:42:12.400 --> 0:42:16.880
<v Speaker 3>Kinsey Oscar nominee actor James Woods. He's a resident of

0:42:16.880 --> 0:42:21.439
<v Speaker 3>the Pacific Palisades and he posted this on x He said,

0:42:21.480 --> 0:42:25.160
<v Speaker 3>the work ahead to rebuild our beautiful Pacific Palisades and

0:42:25.200 --> 0:42:30.239
<v Speaker 3>all areas destroyed by Gavin Newsom's hillatious fires will be monumental.

0:42:30.320 --> 0:42:33.399
<v Speaker 3>We can't waste time and energy easing this creep out

0:42:33.400 --> 0:42:37.840
<v Speaker 3>of office. If this piece of shiit had one ounce

0:42:37.880 --> 0:42:44.120
<v Speaker 3>of decency, he would resign. The pretty strong words there.

0:42:44.320 --> 0:42:47.640
<v Speaker 3>How much pressure is there on Gavin newsm because it

0:42:47.680 --> 0:42:51.760
<v Speaker 3>seems to be he has failed on just about every

0:42:51.880 --> 0:42:55.640
<v Speaker 3>level when it comes to preparing the state for this

0:42:55.760 --> 0:42:59.120
<v Speaker 3>sort of fire, which he would have known was coming.

0:42:59.160 --> 0:43:03.200
<v Speaker 3>This is Calorfuna near after all that have wildfires.

0:43:04.080 --> 0:43:06.360
<v Speaker 16>And he keeps passing the buck. I mean, I have

0:43:06.520 --> 0:43:10.080
<v Speaker 16>seen some journalists really press him and say, you know,

0:43:10.120 --> 0:43:12.000
<v Speaker 16>you've got to give us a better answer than that.

0:43:12.280 --> 0:43:15.640
<v Speaker 16>But what he continues to do is pass the buck

0:43:15.719 --> 0:43:17.520
<v Speaker 16>and say, oh, well, that's LA's problem.

0:43:17.719 --> 0:43:19.480
<v Speaker 1>We're going to have to talk to La about that.

0:43:19.960 --> 0:43:21.920
<v Speaker 16>You know, at the end of the day, like I said,

0:43:22.000 --> 0:43:27.480
<v Speaker 16>he cuts significant amounts of resources. When he did cut

0:43:27.480 --> 0:43:30.560
<v Speaker 16>that one hundred million dollars. He does have to look

0:43:30.560 --> 0:43:33.600
<v Speaker 16>in the mirror and figure out where he is to blame,

0:43:33.719 --> 0:43:36.320
<v Speaker 16>because this does not all fall on Karen Bass.

0:43:38.719 --> 0:43:42.560
<v Speaker 3>Now, Harry and Meghan Markle have been meeting with victims

0:43:42.560 --> 0:43:45.520
<v Speaker 3>of the LA fires along with first responders at the

0:43:45.719 --> 0:43:50.520
<v Speaker 3>Pasadena Convention Center. This is an evacuation site for victims

0:43:50.600 --> 0:43:54.320
<v Speaker 3>of the Eton fire and out of the devastation. Meghan

0:43:54.400 --> 0:43:58.000
<v Speaker 3>is also delayed the launch of her new Netflix series

0:43:58.040 --> 0:44:01.160
<v Speaker 3>to focus on the needs of those impacted by the

0:44:01.239 --> 0:44:04.080
<v Speaker 3>wildfires in my home state of California.

0:44:04.200 --> 0:44:07.240
<v Speaker 1>She said, Kinsey, we've seen footage of.

0:44:07.600 --> 0:44:11.600
<v Speaker 3>Harry and Megan meeting with victims, hugging them.

0:44:13.480 --> 0:44:15.360
<v Speaker 1>Is that something that has.

0:44:16.320 --> 0:44:21.800
<v Speaker 3>Brought some comfort to those who are facing this deadly catastrophe.

0:44:23.000 --> 0:44:26.760
<v Speaker 16>I think I stand with Family Ties star Justine Bateman

0:44:27.400 --> 0:44:29.760
<v Speaker 16>when she called this a photo op, she said, Megan

0:44:29.760 --> 0:44:32.960
<v Speaker 16>and Harry are no better than ambulance chasers. What a

0:44:33.000 --> 0:44:36.480
<v Speaker 16>repulsive photo op they achieved. They don't live here. They

0:44:36.520 --> 0:44:40.239
<v Speaker 16>are tourists, disaster tourists. There are plenty of things they

0:44:40.239 --> 0:44:43.560
<v Speaker 16>could do in Montecito, but they jumped in the car

0:44:43.719 --> 0:44:48.080
<v Speaker 16>and drove over almost two hundred miles to be in

0:44:48.120 --> 0:44:50.400
<v Speaker 16>the middle of ground zero. These are two people that

0:44:50.480 --> 0:44:54.920
<v Speaker 16>are paranoid about security. Why bring that drama and chaos

0:44:54.960 --> 0:44:58.000
<v Speaker 16>to a place that's already hurting and a place that

0:44:58.080 --> 0:45:01.320
<v Speaker 16>doesn't need any additional drama and chaos.

0:45:01.400 --> 0:45:05.439
<v Speaker 3>As many people said on x having these people suffered enough,

0:45:05.560 --> 0:45:10.080
<v Speaker 3>the last thing they need is Aaron Meghan descending upon

0:45:10.160 --> 0:45:14.279
<v Speaker 3>them with camera crews getting images that they know are

0:45:14.320 --> 0:45:16.400
<v Speaker 3>going to go around the world. Don't they know if

0:45:16.400 --> 0:45:18.520
<v Speaker 3>they're going to be there, they're going to get plenty

0:45:18.560 --> 0:45:22.640
<v Speaker 3>of footage that we've played for you tonight now, Kinzi

0:45:22.719 --> 0:45:27.480
<v Speaker 3>Kim Kardashian has prompted outrage on social media for posting

0:45:27.640 --> 0:45:34.239
<v Speaker 3>ads for her Skims brand while these buyers are devastating, La,

0:45:34.440 --> 0:45:36.240
<v Speaker 3>what do you think about this? A lot of people

0:45:36.239 --> 0:45:39.080
<v Speaker 3>are saying she should be doing what other celebrities are doing,

0:45:39.160 --> 0:45:42.680
<v Speaker 3>which is showing solidarity and just sort of pulling back

0:45:42.719 --> 0:45:46.040
<v Speaker 3>from the marketing and promotion whilst this is happening.

0:45:47.200 --> 0:45:50.840
<v Speaker 16>And you also saw Chloe Kardashian going after Karen Bauss,

0:45:51.120 --> 0:45:53.120
<v Speaker 16>you know, saying what a joke you are for not

0:45:53.200 --> 0:45:56.600
<v Speaker 16>being prepared for this, and Chloe saying that she sided

0:45:56.719 --> 0:46:02.240
<v Speaker 16>with our fire chiefs. They are clearly if you watch

0:46:02.239 --> 0:46:06.319
<v Speaker 16>our news, they are delivering different messages, and they are

0:46:06.320 --> 0:46:09.400
<v Speaker 16>clearly behind the scenes going out at each other's throats.

0:46:10.000 --> 0:46:12.640
<v Speaker 16>My favorite headline is Kim Kardashian was busy promoting her

0:46:12.640 --> 0:46:15.480
<v Speaker 16>clothing brand while Los Angeles burned to the ground. Let's

0:46:15.520 --> 0:46:18.400
<v Speaker 16>hope that's not her legacy. I have heard that she

0:46:18.600 --> 0:46:22.040
<v Speaker 16>has donated to some of the firefighters when it comes

0:46:22.080 --> 0:46:24.520
<v Speaker 16>to meals and things, so she has tried to step

0:46:24.640 --> 0:46:26.320
<v Speaker 16>up since those horrible headlines.

0:46:28.760 --> 0:46:30.960
<v Speaker 3>I think you're going to see a big fat donation

0:46:31.200 --> 0:46:34.480
<v Speaker 3>from her coming because this is the sort of bad

0:46:34.640 --> 0:46:38.800
<v Speaker 3>press that can stick. Actor Tyler Perry a good friend

0:46:38.840 --> 0:46:42.200
<v Speaker 3>of Megan and Harry. He's posted a lengthy statement on

0:46:42.239 --> 0:46:47.279
<v Speaker 3>Instagram slamming insurance companies for canceling millions of policies just.

0:46:47.320 --> 0:46:49.200
<v Speaker 1>Before the LA fires broke out.

0:46:49.320 --> 0:46:53.000
<v Speaker 3>He wrote, does anyone else find it appalling but insurance

0:46:53.040 --> 0:46:55.840
<v Speaker 3>companies to take billions of dollars out of communities for

0:46:56.000 --> 0:46:58.279
<v Speaker 3>years and then all of a sudden be allowed to

0:46:58.320 --> 0:47:02.360
<v Speaker 3>cancel millions of polo for the very people they became

0:47:03.160 --> 0:47:05.520
<v Speaker 3>rich on? Can you tell me more about this, kindsy,

0:47:05.560 --> 0:47:10.759
<v Speaker 3>because it seems incredible that insurance company could cancel any policy.

0:47:10.800 --> 0:47:13.480
<v Speaker 3>I mean, that's the deal. You pay them these premiums.

0:47:13.920 --> 0:47:17.280
<v Speaker 3>You may never make a claim over thirty forty years,

0:47:17.320 --> 0:47:20.040
<v Speaker 3>but it's therefore a disaster just like this.

0:47:21.320 --> 0:47:21.360
<v Speaker 14>You.

0:47:21.719 --> 0:47:25.600
<v Speaker 16>According to the insurance companies, they they were afraid they

0:47:25.600 --> 0:47:28.480
<v Speaker 16>wouldn't be able to afford the payouts and that's why

0:47:28.640 --> 0:47:34.879
<v Speaker 16>ultimately they canceled hundreds of these victims insurance policies months ago.

0:47:34.960 --> 0:47:38.359
<v Speaker 16>There is one woman that stayed despite the evacuation. Her

0:47:38.360 --> 0:47:40.920
<v Speaker 16>parents were ninety years old, they'd been in the home

0:47:41.400 --> 0:47:44.120
<v Speaker 16>for seventy years, and she just stayed there with her

0:47:44.160 --> 0:47:47.040
<v Speaker 16>fire hose sprang the house down. Thankfully, the last time

0:47:47.080 --> 0:47:50.080
<v Speaker 16>I checked it had been spared. But that's all her

0:47:50.080 --> 0:47:52.280
<v Speaker 16>parents had. They were ninety years old. They were afraid

0:47:52.280 --> 0:47:54.359
<v Speaker 16>they were going to lose their house, and she did

0:47:54.400 --> 0:47:57.520
<v Speaker 16>that because they lost their insurance. They had no other option,

0:47:58.080 --> 0:48:01.160
<v Speaker 16>so she risked her life. So this is not just

0:48:01.200 --> 0:48:02.200
<v Speaker 16>a celebrity thing.

0:48:02.360 --> 0:48:02.600
<v Speaker 1>You know.

0:48:02.640 --> 0:48:05.080
<v Speaker 16>This is impacting a lot of different people of all

0:48:05.200 --> 0:48:11.120
<v Speaker 16>age groups and different classes, and it's devastating.

0:48:12.800 --> 0:48:16.719
<v Speaker 3>Absolutely, and those people are less equipped to recover from

0:48:16.760 --> 0:48:20.279
<v Speaker 3>this than your celebrities whose properties are worth millions and

0:48:20.320 --> 0:48:23.279
<v Speaker 3>they probably have several of them. It's incredible. I mean

0:48:23.920 --> 0:48:27.120
<v Speaker 3>the fact that they can cancel these policies. It's not

0:48:27.239 --> 0:48:31.760
<v Speaker 3>just financially devastating, it can lead to loss of life because,

0:48:31.800 --> 0:48:34.160
<v Speaker 3>like you said, people will stay back at their properties

0:48:34.200 --> 0:48:36.479
<v Speaker 3>when they should be leaving to try to save them

0:48:36.960 --> 0:48:39.759
<v Speaker 3>and this is just putting themselves in greater danger.

0:48:39.880 --> 0:48:41.040
<v Speaker 1>Kinsey Schofield, thank you.

0:48:41.000 --> 0:48:43.000
<v Speaker 3>So much for your time this evening, and that's all

0:48:43.040 --> 0:48:45.879
<v Speaker 3>the time we have tonight. I'll see you tomorrow night

0:48:46.160 --> 0:48:52.680
<v Speaker 3>at eleven up. Next is Newsnight.
