WEBVTT - The Rita Panahi Show | 27 June 0:00:02.759 --> 0:00:07.200 On scorn lids Australia. This is the Reader Panalkey Show. 0:00:08.960 --> 0:00:11.799 Good evening and welcome to the Reader Paney Show. Coming 0:00:11.880 --> 0:00:15.320 up tonight, we'll look at the inflationary pressure of Labour's 0:00:15.440 --> 0:00:19.959 reckless spending, with the inflation rate jumping to four percent. 0:00:20.560 --> 0:00:25.120 The ABC's Trump derangement syndrome exposed again with a car 0:00:25.280 --> 0:00:30.640 crash interview with Republican Marjorie Taylor Green. Douglas Murray joins 0:00:30.680 --> 0:00:33.440 me in just a moment and we'll be discussing everything 0:00:33.600 --> 0:00:37.680 from the deadly anti Christian violence in Pakistan, to the 0:00:37.760 --> 0:00:42.800 Victorian government embracing kill testing, to the downfall of the 0:00:42.880 --> 0:00:47.159 Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. And we'll look at Tucker 0:00:47.280 --> 0:00:52.040 Carlson taking on an Australian journalist. It doesn't go too 0:00:52.080 --> 0:00:53.320 well for the full ass. 0:00:54.600 --> 0:00:57.560 You don't just go for the quick sugar fix of 0:00:57.560 --> 0:00:59.880 importing new people like That's my position. 0:01:00.240 --> 0:01:03.240 And if you think that's racist, that's your problem. 0:01:03.320 --> 0:01:05.800 I never called you a racist, but of course you 0:01:05.920 --> 0:01:07.319 but of course you are suggesting. 0:01:07.840 --> 0:01:10.280 And I must say one of the reasons why people don't. 0:01:10.120 --> 0:01:12.959 Like people like you in the media is that you 0:01:13.040 --> 0:01:16.160 never say exactly what you mean, your slurs are all 0:01:16.240 --> 0:01:16.920 by implication. 0:01:17.160 --> 0:01:19.720 This is the same theory or as you say, idea 0:01:19.800 --> 0:01:23.240 that has inspired the New York Buffalo shooting. Word. 0:01:23.480 --> 0:01:27.880 Come on to what I mean, it's also inspired. It's not, 0:01:28.000 --> 0:01:29.360 first of all, it's inspired the. 0:01:29.280 --> 0:01:33.200 Worst, the one of the worst Australian time, just stupid 0:01:33.200 --> 0:01:35.680 in the media. I guess it doesn't pay well. Look, 0:01:35.840 --> 0:01:36.920 I'm sorry. 0:01:37.000 --> 0:01:39.360 I've lived among people like you for too long and 0:01:39.360 --> 0:01:41.000 I don't mean to I don't mean to call you, 0:01:41.160 --> 0:01:42.920 call you stupid. Maybe you're just pretending to be. 0:01:44.840 --> 0:01:48.400 And like joing the Alkinsy Schofield will be joining me 0:01:48.520 --> 0:01:52.440 with the latest royal and celebrity news, plus the segment 0:01:52.480 --> 0:01:55.600 that has millions of views each and every week. We 0:01:55.720 --> 0:01:58.760 call it Left is Losing It, and tonight it includes 0:01:59.280 --> 0:02:03.080 this fielded judge, yes, judge. 0:02:04.760 --> 0:02:08.080 By pointing the finger at Republicans and saying it's their fault, 0:02:08.600 --> 0:02:11.400 not the fault of the Biden administration that lifted the 0:02:11.639 --> 0:02:13.000 remain in Mexico policies. 0:02:14.560 --> 0:02:18.280 Joining me now is best selling author of groundbreaking works 0:02:18.320 --> 0:02:21.720 including the Strange Death of Europe, The Madness of Crowds, 0:02:21.760 --> 0:02:25.160 and The War on the West. Douglas Murray We will 0:02:25.200 --> 0:02:29.119 get to Victoria's new pill testing policy and more permissive 0:02:29.120 --> 0:02:33.359 attitude to illicit drugs shortly, but let's start in New York, 0:02:33.400 --> 0:02:36.600 where the stench of marijuana is often lingering in the air. 0:02:36.680 --> 0:02:39.840 And it's a New York sixteen district that the far 0:02:39.960 --> 0:02:44.120 left suffered a blow. The squad is one member down 0:02:44.240 --> 0:02:49.639 after Jamal Bowman lost his primary race by quite a margin. 0:02:50.320 --> 0:02:53.760 This is despite AOC's best efforts over the weekend to 0:02:53.800 --> 0:02:57.560 whip up support in the Bronx. And it didn't take 0:02:57.720 --> 0:03:00.760 long for the New York Times to blame You guessed 0:03:00.760 --> 0:03:04.359 that the Jews. It was a flood of pro Israel 0:03:04.480 --> 0:03:08.280 money that did it. But after a backlash on Eggs 0:03:08.360 --> 0:03:10.839 and questions from the New York Post, the Times did 0:03:10.960 --> 0:03:15.480 alter its headline. But we should not be surprised, Douglas, 0:03:15.480 --> 0:03:18.720 that the first instinct of the New York Times is 0:03:18.760 --> 0:03:21.200 to blame Israel. Blame the Jews. 0:03:23.000 --> 0:03:26.360 Yeah. I think that the reason why Jamal Bowman lost 0:03:26.600 --> 0:03:30.400 was because he was a hideous representative his district. Seems 0:03:30.440 --> 0:03:34.920 to think he should talk about foreign affairs in a 0:03:34.960 --> 0:03:38.120 far off country about which he knows nothing, rather than 0:03:38.160 --> 0:03:40.880 doing anything for the people of his district, and I 0:03:40.880 --> 0:03:43.800 think another reason he lost was because of the sort 0:03:43.840 --> 0:03:48.920 of scenes we're seeing there. Alexandri Okees Portes seemed to 0:03:49.040 --> 0:03:51.360 think when she was trying to rally up the Bronx 0:03:51.360 --> 0:03:53.120 so a really small number of people the other day 0:03:53.160 --> 0:03:57.480 seemed to think she was some kind of Taylor Swift, 0:03:58.000 --> 0:04:02.080 maybe bigger than Taylor Swift, jumping around the stage doing 0:04:02.120 --> 0:04:07.000 these kind of embarrassing hand gestures. I'mdoing her hair, redoing it, 0:04:07.080 --> 0:04:10.240 flipping it around, showing just how down with the kid 0:04:10.400 --> 0:04:14.320 she is whilst talking about the importance of a ceasefire 0:04:15.000 --> 0:04:19.440 in the Middle East. These people are in an embarrassment 0:04:19.560 --> 0:04:23.080 to their districts, and they're an embarrassment to most New Yorkers. 0:04:23.480 --> 0:04:27.040 Most New Yorkers, like other voters, want things close to 0:04:27.120 --> 0:04:29.560 home to be addressed. Some of them have a care 0:04:29.600 --> 0:04:35.040 about foreign policy, for sure, But congressmen and women that 0:04:35.160 --> 0:04:37.680 they don't have any say it's not important. This isn't 0:04:37.720 --> 0:04:40.640 their area, and they're mentor, as I say, improve the 0:04:40.680 --> 0:04:42.839 living standards of their area. All you hear from people 0:04:42.920 --> 0:04:49.520 like representing former Representative Bowmen and Alexandria Casa Cortez is 0:04:49.560 --> 0:04:55.680 the sort of basic sort of soap box demagogery, complete 0:04:55.720 --> 0:04:59.400 inability to do anything meaningful. When Jamal Bowman, when a 0:04:59.480 --> 0:05:02.680 vote was going the wrong way, he decided to run 0:05:02.680 --> 0:05:06.560 into the corridors and pull the fire alarm like some 0:05:07.240 --> 0:05:11.159 crazy delinquent. And you know, maybe it's things like that 0:05:11.160 --> 0:05:15.119 that actually meant that people voted him out. But of course, 0:05:15.160 --> 0:05:16.919 you know, of course, of course, of course he thinks 0:05:16.920 --> 0:05:17.880 it's the Jews. 0:05:17.720 --> 0:05:23.760 Of course, always and talking about the issues that actually 0:05:24.000 --> 0:05:27.680 matter to Americans. Were mere hours away from the much 0:05:27.680 --> 0:05:32.720 awaited presidential debate, and the issues that matter most Americans 0:05:32.760 --> 0:05:37.640 are legal immigration, We've got the cost of living crisis, 0:05:37.839 --> 0:05:42.919 we've got crime. But I wonder, Douglas, is a debate 0:05:43.000 --> 0:05:46.599 that's going to be moderated by two CNN hosts going 0:05:46.640 --> 0:05:51.880 to focus on those issues or are they going to 0:05:52.080 --> 0:05:55.440 provide questions that are more palatable to Joe Biden. 0:05:56.839 --> 0:05:59.360 Well, you know, it's going to be an extraordinary debate 0:06:00.200 --> 0:06:03.520 any standards. Several reasons. By the way, as far as 0:06:03.560 --> 0:06:05.720 I know, this is the first time there has been 0:06:05.839 --> 0:06:10.920 such a debate ahead of the party's conventions. So it's 0:06:10.960 --> 0:06:14.440 actually it's especially risky in my view for Joe Biden, 0:06:14.960 --> 0:06:19.320 who finds it hard to perform well on the easiest 0:06:19.360 --> 0:06:22.640 of days. This is going to be a tough one 0:06:22.680 --> 0:06:27.680 for him. I hope that if we learn anything from it, 0:06:28.080 --> 0:06:31.479 we will actually get onto the substantive issues. There are 0:06:31.520 --> 0:06:36.360 major disagreements between the candidates. Donald Trump obviously campaigned in 0:06:37.040 --> 0:06:40.040 both his previous runs and is in this one on 0:06:40.120 --> 0:06:43.520 the border crisis. Joe Biden has let the border crisis 0:06:43.560 --> 0:06:48.560 in America just absolutely explode. Americans can see things like 0:06:48.680 --> 0:06:53.400 that manifesting in their cities. They can see the results 0:06:53.400 --> 0:06:57.040 of crime and massively liberalized drug laws in their cities. 0:06:57.279 --> 0:06:59.120 I think one of the toughest ones read to look 0:06:59.120 --> 0:07:01.960 out for is will the candidates be able to have 0:07:02.760 --> 0:07:07.760 a substantial conversation about the cost of living crisis which 0:07:07.800 --> 0:07:11.400 you just referred to, and the question of inflation, because inflation, 0:07:11.480 --> 0:07:15.680 to my mind, is especially interesting one. It seems abstract 0:07:15.800 --> 0:07:18.280 in a way, and it seems abstract when people, when 0:07:18.360 --> 0:07:22.960 politicians discuss it. But it's not abstract because the rampant 0:07:22.960 --> 0:07:28.320 inflation inflation recent years has meant that everybody's grocery bills, 0:07:28.360 --> 0:07:31.560 you know, you get less, sometimes literally less than you 0:07:31.640 --> 0:07:33.920 did a few years ago for the same product. The 0:07:33.960 --> 0:07:36.920 product is much more expensive. Are either of the candidate's 0:07:36.960 --> 0:07:39.240 going to be able to explain that one and say 0:07:39.280 --> 0:07:41.360 what they will do to get that under control. I 0:07:41.360 --> 0:07:43.160 think that's one of the things to look out for 0:07:43.520 --> 0:07:46.560 in this debate, as well, of course as the basic 0:07:46.640 --> 0:07:50.120 ones such as will Donald Trump allowed Joe Biden to speak? 0:07:50.400 --> 0:07:54.120 And can Joe Biden speak? Those are the two other 0:07:54.160 --> 0:07:55.040 things to look out for. 0:07:57.160 --> 0:07:59.920 I think they're going to prep him to within an 0:08:00.000 --> 0:08:02.160 interview his life. I think we're going to see Joe 0:08:02.200 --> 0:08:06.880 Biden that's more lucid and sharp than we have seen 0:08:06.960 --> 0:08:09.080 him for some time. He seems to get himself up 0:08:09.080 --> 0:08:11.040 for some of these big events like the State of 0:08:11.080 --> 0:08:14.600 the Union. And there's been suggestions made that perhaps there 0:08:14.600 --> 0:08:17.440 should be some drug testing before this debate. I think 0:08:17.640 --> 0:08:21.200 there was a poll done showing seventy percent of Americans 0:08:21.320 --> 0:08:24.920 actually want the candidates to undergo a drug test before 0:08:24.960 --> 0:08:27.800 the debate. So that's where we're at. That's where we're at. 0:08:28.240 --> 0:08:31.040 And it's been a while since we talked about Canadian 0:08:31.040 --> 0:08:34.720 Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, the neo Marxist ken Dollars I 0:08:34.800 --> 0:08:39.280 call him. He's in some serious trouble Douglas. This week, 0:08:39.320 --> 0:08:41.960 his party lost a by election in one of the 0:08:42.240 --> 0:08:46.760 safest Liberal seats in the country in Toronto Saint Paul, 0:08:46.840 --> 0:08:53.160 and Trudeau's minority government is badly trailing the Conservatives in 0:08:53.240 --> 0:08:56.760 the polls. Is this the end for Trudeau? Douglas? Have 0:08:56.840 --> 0:09:01.359 the Canadian people finally woke it up to the performative 0:09:01.559 --> 0:09:04.959 caring that lacks any real substance. 0:09:06.200 --> 0:09:09.640 You absolutely put your finger on rita performative caring. That's 0:09:09.760 --> 0:09:14.319 all that Justin Trudeau does. It's very hard to find 0:09:14.360 --> 0:09:18.200 a true thing he's ever said, or a sincere thing 0:09:18.360 --> 0:09:22.520 he's ever said. The man is entirely artifice. He's an 0:09:22.600 --> 0:09:26.240 utter bimbo. A phrase that maybe one would use a 0:09:26.240 --> 0:09:29.040 female politician these days, but I'm happy to use of 0:09:29.280 --> 0:09:35.199 Justin Trudeau. There's he's so good a himbo, he's a himbo. 0:09:35.400 --> 0:09:39.840 I suppose I was in Canada last week in a 0:09:39.840 --> 0:09:43.680 couple of cities, and I can't tell you, Rita the 0:09:43.840 --> 0:09:48.120 detestation that you find for Trudeau across the political board. 0:09:48.880 --> 0:09:52.960 A vast majority of Canadians want him to stand down. 0:09:53.240 --> 0:09:53.520 Now. 0:09:54.840 --> 0:09:58.520 He has really impressive opposition. 0:09:58.640 --> 0:09:58.800 Now. 0:09:59.760 --> 0:10:04.120 I think that Pierre Polievra and the others decide that 0:10:04.160 --> 0:10:07.600 are coming along. They are very impressive. People are now 0:10:07.960 --> 0:10:13.120 facing off against Trudeau. I think he's absolutely toasts because finally, 0:10:13.160 --> 0:10:15.679 you know, we got to that stage where being a 0:10:15.720 --> 0:10:19.440 sort of superannuated drama teacher turns out you can fool 0:10:19.480 --> 0:10:21.839 some people for a little while, but not for all 0:10:21.880 --> 0:10:25.880 that long. Everyone in Canada who wants to see through 0:10:26.120 --> 0:10:30.199 Justin Trudeau has seen through him. I don't think anyone 0:10:30.520 --> 0:10:35.120 will regret finally seeing the back of him. 0:10:35.400 --> 0:10:39.000 He was the biggest media doling in the world there 0:10:39.040 --> 0:10:41.480 for quite some time, though. Douglass he had a very 0:10:41.760 --> 0:10:45.760 long honeymoon. Indeed, him and j justinto ar Dern where 0:10:45.800 --> 0:10:50.200 and you beautifully described them with that tag of performative caring, 0:10:50.240 --> 0:10:53.560 because that's what it was. It was all style, no substance. 0:10:53.840 --> 0:10:57.640 You look at the policies they instituted. They weren't helping people, 0:10:57.800 --> 0:11:01.880 but they were fated as these new age leaders who 0:11:01.880 --> 0:11:06.880 were full of compassion and empathy. But yes, not much 0:11:06.920 --> 0:11:07.120 of that. 0:11:08.360 --> 0:11:11.360 It's interesting greed, isn't it, And people should be aware 0:11:11.440 --> 0:11:14.200 of this. The amount you can get away with that 0:11:14.440 --> 0:11:17.920 is cruel and sometimes evil if you wrap it up 0:11:18.000 --> 0:11:21.200 in this particular style. Of politics. As long as you 0:11:21.400 --> 0:11:24.280 as long as you come across all lovey and sort 0:11:24.320 --> 0:11:28.120 of you know, silken head, whether it's Arden or Trudeau, 0:11:28.679 --> 0:11:31.319 you can do the most vicious things to your public. 0:11:31.400 --> 0:11:33.240 And wow did they do it? 0:11:35.480 --> 0:11:39.800 Oh they did. And during COVID, yeah, we discussed that 0:11:39.960 --> 0:11:42.199 at length. And now I want to go to the UK. 0:11:42.440 --> 0:11:46.720 Actor David Tenanty was doctor who want Apparently he won 0:11:46.800 --> 0:11:51.800 a celebrity ally award at the British LGBT Awards. I 0:11:51.800 --> 0:11:54.480 don't know there was a British LGBT Awards, but here 0:11:54.520 --> 0:11:58.160 we go, and during his acceptance speech, she decided to 0:11:58.240 --> 0:12:01.920 attack the only black fees in government by saying he 0:12:02.000 --> 0:12:07.040 wished Kemmy Badenoch would shut up and no longer exist. 0:12:08.559 --> 0:12:12.880 However, until we wake up and Kemmy Badenock doesn't exist anymore, 0:12:19.480 --> 0:12:21.280 I don't wish ell of her. I just wish her 0:12:21.360 --> 0:12:22.040 to shut up. 0:12:24.480 --> 0:12:28.680 Douglas even kiss Dama has sought to distance himself from 0:12:28.720 --> 0:12:33.240 that ugly misogyny. But David Tennant has plenty of fans 0:12:33.280 --> 0:12:38.040 in the media, plenty more among the celebrity and activist class. 0:12:38.440 --> 0:12:41.240 What do you make of that entire saga? 0:12:42.320 --> 0:12:46.600 You know, this is the absolute death of this so 0:12:46.720 --> 0:12:50.520 called LGBT movement. There was a gay rights movement. It 0:12:50.600 --> 0:12:53.560 did a lot of good work, and it's basically done. 0:12:53.840 --> 0:12:57.640 But there are these weird people who keep on extending 0:12:57.640 --> 0:13:01.400 the alphabet and trying to keep themselves in work and 0:13:01.480 --> 0:13:04.840 setting up crocker wards ceremonies. I never heard of this thing, 0:13:05.080 --> 0:13:08.520 the LGBT awards. Look at that ugly monstrosity he was 0:13:08.559 --> 0:13:12.640 holding in his hands, this LGBT thing. Who the hell 0:13:12.720 --> 0:13:15.840 gives these wards away? Who's the big gay board that 0:13:16.040 --> 0:13:19.280 convenes and decides that the straight David Tennant should be 0:13:19.320 --> 0:13:24.640 given an LGBT Award because of his advocacy of mutilating children. 0:13:25.280 --> 0:13:29.479 I mean, the whole thing's preposterous. Of course, it's sponsored 0:13:30.440 --> 0:13:33.600 by all of the sort of you know, Tesco and 0:13:33.720 --> 0:13:37.080 various other supermarkets and banks and all the high street 0:13:37.200 --> 0:13:40.319 chains that are meant to just actually you know, provide 0:13:40.440 --> 0:13:44.160 their services and in actual fact gets sort of blackmailed 0:13:44.200 --> 0:13:48.360 into sponsoring things like this clownish ceremony that David Tennant 0:13:48.480 --> 0:13:51.800 was speaking at. But this is the end point of 0:13:51.880 --> 0:13:59.440 the lgbtqia plus stupidity is an actor who thinks he's 0:13:59.559 --> 0:14:05.200 right off and loving and kindness and all just about 0:14:05.240 --> 0:14:10.960 that saying whilst he accepts an honorary Gay Award for 0:14:11.120 --> 0:14:17.680 advocating a gender transformation of confused children, calling for a 0:14:17.720 --> 0:14:22.080 black woman to shut up or disappear, And it's another one, 0:14:22.120 --> 0:14:25.960 like the performative caring reader. It's another one, just like that. 0:14:26.560 --> 0:14:29.880 It turns out that under the guise of so called pride, 0:14:30.400 --> 0:14:33.640 under the guise of so called pride, people like David 0:14:33.760 --> 0:14:36.640 Tennant feel they can be as prejudiced as they want. 0:14:39.440 --> 0:14:43.040 And he talked during that acceptance speech at length about 0:14:43.280 --> 0:14:48.840 empathy and decency and getting the wise counsel of his 0:14:49.000 --> 0:14:52.880 wife and forming these positions that are just common sense. 0:14:53.080 --> 0:14:58.200 And you listen to that entire speech you gave Douglas, 0:14:58.200 --> 0:15:01.320 and it is so divorced from reality, because at the 0:15:01.360 --> 0:15:03.640 heart of it, one of the things that he advocates 0:15:03.720 --> 0:15:09.960 for is the medical intervention for confused children. So we're 0:15:09.960 --> 0:15:17.080 talking about irreversible treatments sometimes and surgeries which even the 0:15:17.200 --> 0:15:20.480 NHS has now said they're not going to participate in. 0:15:20.680 --> 0:15:24.200 And yet we've still got the activist class pushing this 0:15:24.400 --> 0:15:26.880 as if it's the only progressive way forward. 0:15:27.760 --> 0:15:33.480 Absolutely, and listen Rita and everyone watching. Listen again to 0:15:33.560 --> 0:15:39.920 the audience reaction when this straight bigot who is hiding 0:15:39.960 --> 0:15:44.080 behind medicalizing and sterilizing children as his reason for being 0:15:44.160 --> 0:15:46.800 pined and nice. Listen to the audience reaction as he 0:15:46.880 --> 0:15:51.520 engages in that. They all whoop and cheer, They love it. 0:15:51.840 --> 0:15:56.080 To hell with these people, to hell with them. Anyone 0:15:56.080 --> 0:15:59.920 who stands up and says, you know, maybe we should 0:16:00.040 --> 0:16:05.360 pores before chopping off the private parts of healthy kids. 0:16:05.640 --> 0:16:08.880 Anyone who says maybe we should pause before that isn't 0:16:09.000 --> 0:16:12.240 a bigot, shouldn't shut up. They should speak up more. 0:16:12.480 --> 0:16:15.440 It's David Tennant and that audience that are the bigots, 0:16:15.600 --> 0:16:19.040 and history will judge them incredibly badly. I can tell 0:16:19.080 --> 0:16:21.720 you one reason why I'll be one of the ones 0:16:21.760 --> 0:16:23.200 that will write their history. 0:16:26.400 --> 0:16:29.120 That is good to hear. Now, the state of Victoria 0:16:29.200 --> 0:16:32.480 where we are is about to introduce pill testing. This 0:16:32.560 --> 0:16:36.120 is a policy that has been trialed elsewhere. As illicit 0:16:36.240 --> 0:16:40.800 drugs become decriminalized in some jurisdictions around the world, and 0:16:40.840 --> 0:16:43.560 there is at least a more permissive attitude here and 0:16:44.040 --> 0:16:49.320 elsewhere to drugs. You've researched this extensively, You've shot a 0:16:49.360 --> 0:16:54.640 documentary on America's drug crisis. Is Victoria doing the right 0:16:54.760 --> 0:16:58.560 thing by testing pills at places like music festivals or 0:16:59.280 --> 0:17:03.880 can that be a slippery right to what we've sayen 0:17:03.920 --> 0:17:06.959 in parts of the US now where this issue is 0:17:07.080 --> 0:17:08.320 just out of control. 0:17:09.800 --> 0:17:14.520 It's a really tricky one, rita, because there are arguments 0:17:14.680 --> 0:17:17.160 for both sides. There's an argument to say that if 0:17:17.200 --> 0:17:21.439 the illegal drug supply has been contaminated with extremely dangerous, 0:17:22.160 --> 0:17:26.959 even more dangerous drugs than the drugs in question, If 0:17:27.000 --> 0:17:30.840 the drug supply has been contaminated, perhaps you should do 0:17:30.920 --> 0:17:33.080 whatever you can to make sure that there is what 0:17:33.200 --> 0:17:37.800 is called safe supply. On the other hand, there's absolutely 0:17:37.920 --> 0:17:41.400 no doubt that when you do this, you definitely give 0:17:41.520 --> 0:17:44.400 an incentive to people to say, well, I've tested that 0:17:44.480 --> 0:17:47.160 the drugs and there and there as it were safe. 0:17:47.920 --> 0:17:53.240 This is really really dangerous territory. I actually I'm very 0:17:53.400 --> 0:17:56.320 very torn about this. As I say in my documentary, 0:17:57.200 --> 0:18:00.920 I do believe that that just say, no thing has 0:18:01.000 --> 0:18:03.760 fallen apart. And one of the reasons it's fallen apart 0:18:04.000 --> 0:18:07.439 is because a lot of the boomer generation doesn't realize 0:18:07.480 --> 0:18:09.919 when they talk about safe supply and so on, when 0:18:09.960 --> 0:18:14.240 they talk about testing, we are talking about a strength 0:18:14.359 --> 0:18:19.560 of illegal drug these days, far far beyond the you know, 0:18:20.000 --> 0:18:23.480 toke of marijuana that they did in the nineteen sixties 0:18:23.600 --> 0:18:28.760 or seventies. Even the marijuana supply in every country is 0:18:29.000 --> 0:18:33.560 vastly stronger than it was some years ago. So I 0:18:33.680 --> 0:18:37.800 really think that there is a deep misunderstanding and intergenerational 0:18:37.880 --> 0:18:41.280 misunderstanding about what's going on here. I think in the 0:18:41.400 --> 0:18:43.640 on the one hand, you say, look, we want as 0:18:43.680 --> 0:18:47.879 few drug fatalities as possible at a music festival or 0:18:47.920 --> 0:18:52.560 anywhere else. But also to say, you know, that doesn't 0:18:52.600 --> 0:18:56.800 mean this is safe. It's not and it's never going 0:18:56.880 --> 0:18:57.200 to be. 0:19:00.240 --> 0:19:04.960 Well, there's this theory that this will reduce drug use, 0:19:05.000 --> 0:19:09.000 and I don't know how that conclusion can be made 0:19:09.080 --> 0:19:10.200 by politicians. 0:19:10.880 --> 0:19:15.480 Well, absolutely, don't do no, no, it doesn't ever do absolutely. 0:19:15.520 --> 0:19:17.000 I think encourage it. 0:19:19.320 --> 0:19:21.480 Well, I just wish that would be honest about that. 0:19:21.640 --> 0:19:24.720 I'd say this will save lives, but it may lead 0:19:24.760 --> 0:19:29.040 to increased drug use, But they always try to actually 0:19:29.119 --> 0:19:32.399 hide what is happening. Now, before you go, this is 0:19:32.480 --> 0:19:35.240 a shocking story out of Pakistan. I'm not going to 0:19:35.320 --> 0:19:39.600 show the footage. It is just too terrible. We have 0:19:39.640 --> 0:19:44.800 a mob of enraged Pakistanis who lynched and burnt a 0:19:44.960 --> 0:19:49.120 tourist who was accused of blasphemy. This happened last week. 0:19:49.280 --> 0:19:51.600 The man was being held at a police station in 0:19:51.640 --> 0:19:55.760 the country's northwest after he was accused of desecrating a 0:19:55.800 --> 0:19:58.359 copy of the Qoran in his hotel room. But the 0:19:58.400 --> 0:20:03.080 police couldn't or wouldn't protect him, and the mob dragged 0:20:03.160 --> 0:20:06.760 him away and brutally murdered him. Douglas, this isn't an 0:20:06.800 --> 0:20:12.080 isolated case. Christians are not safe in Pakistan. Just the 0:20:12.280 --> 0:20:16.919 mere mention of blasphemy can land you in jail or worse, 0:20:17.160 --> 0:20:20.480 lynched by an enraged Islamist mob. 0:20:21.600 --> 0:20:25.160 Absolutely, and keep a close eye in the coming days 0:20:25.320 --> 0:20:31.840 on what leaders in Pakistan, both religious and political, say 0:20:31.880 --> 0:20:35.359 about this incident and whether the police arrests any or 0:20:35.440 --> 0:20:38.040 all of the people engaged in it. I bet you 0:20:38.040 --> 0:20:41.360 you'll see a stunning silence, and people should remember this. 0:20:42.000 --> 0:20:46.320 In countries like Australia, Britain, America, Canada, we take freedom 0:20:46.520 --> 0:20:50.480 of belief, freedom of expression for granted. In fact, so 0:20:50.640 --> 0:20:53.520 much for granted that many people in our society aren't 0:20:53.600 --> 0:20:56.640 even willing to fight for it. Meanwhile, in a country 0:20:56.680 --> 0:21:01.560 like Pakistan, which has got so many disastrous problems and 0:21:01.720 --> 0:21:05.680 is such an unstable country and is doing so many 0:21:05.720 --> 0:21:09.040 atrocious things in the realm of human rights, just look 0:21:09.080 --> 0:21:11.280 at how in a place like that, as you say, reader, 0:21:11.760 --> 0:21:16.040 a mob can be inflamed to murder any moment for 0:21:16.359 --> 0:21:20.520 stupid things like a rumor that somebody's molested a book. 0:21:21.160 --> 0:21:25.960 I mean, the whole thing is so tragic and preposterous 0:21:26.000 --> 0:21:28.800 and saver be a reminder to us how lucky we 0:21:28.840 --> 0:21:31.439 are in our own countries in the West. But the 0:21:31.440 --> 0:21:34.239 fact that it's not luck. It's because people stand up 0:21:34.280 --> 0:21:37.040 and fight for these freedoms and for these rights, and 0:21:37.080 --> 0:21:40.280 if you don't, you'll lose them. And there's every possibility 0:21:40.359 --> 0:21:43.720 that in the years ahead, countries like ours can revert 0:21:43.880 --> 0:21:47.560 back to the situation that Pakistan is in today. And 0:21:47.600 --> 0:21:49.520 I hope very much that they don't, but it should 0:21:49.520 --> 0:21:51.280 be a warning to us in the West. 0:21:53.320 --> 0:21:56.320 Oh absolutely. And I said it's not isolated. There was 0:21:56.359 --> 0:21:59.560 a Christian just a couple of weeks ago who again 0:21:59.720 --> 0:22:02.840 was a used of blasphemy, whether there even were guilty 0:22:02.880 --> 0:22:08.359 of it. They were murdered. A Christian community was attacked 0:22:08.520 --> 0:22:13.440 last month over similar allegations, and Pakistan carries the death 0:22:13.680 --> 0:22:18.400 penalty for blasphemy. So yes, if the enraged mob don't 0:22:18.440 --> 0:22:20.119 get you, the authorities might. 0:22:20.960 --> 0:22:23.639 And absolutely just and just one other thing on that, 0:22:24.119 --> 0:22:28.880 just people should remember how how incredibly fragile does your 0:22:28.920 --> 0:22:33.600 so called belief system or religion have to be. How fragile, 0:22:33.720 --> 0:22:39.680 how delicate, how dainty that one person rumored to touch 0:22:39.760 --> 0:22:42.640 up a book in the wrong way is some kind 0:22:42.680 --> 0:22:47.080 of outrage which will lead you to murder. Anyone who 0:22:47.119 --> 0:22:50.359 thinks that there's some kind of compromise with people who 0:22:50.440 --> 0:22:53.879 believe that, or think that or follow that should just 0:22:53.960 --> 0:22:56.720 think about that for a while. As you say, reader, 0:22:56.920 --> 0:23:01.280 this is not just a public that believes this. It's 0:23:01.320 --> 0:23:04.280 a political class that advocates it as well, and a 0:23:04.359 --> 0:23:07.280 clerical class that does as well. And I do wish 0:23:07.280 --> 0:23:11.639 that all those human rights, the people who talk about 0:23:11.720 --> 0:23:15.439 human rights in the West cared a damn whatever, spoke 0:23:15.520 --> 0:23:18.080 up for the rights of a Christian or anyone else, 0:23:18.280 --> 0:23:20.959 not to have false rumors flung around them and then 0:23:21.000 --> 0:23:23.760 to be murdered by a mad Islamic mob. 0:23:26.200 --> 0:23:29.520 Well, because this murder was filmed by so many, there 0:23:29.560 --> 0:23:34.440 were dozens of mobile phones out. The police have made 0:23:34.680 --> 0:23:37.199 some arrase will follow through and see if there's actually 0:23:37.280 --> 0:23:42.000 prosecutions or any actions there. But I've covered and written 0:23:42.040 --> 0:23:45.920 about this for some time, and we've got to open 0:23:45.960 --> 0:23:48.119 our eyes to what's happening. And I think there's just 0:23:48.160 --> 0:23:55.280 so much ignorance and naivety in the West. Douglas Murray, 0:23:55.280 --> 0:23:56.919 thank you so much for your time this evening. 0:23:57.800 --> 0:24:00.000 It's a great pleasure, as always, Thank you. 0:24:00.400 --> 0:24:04.399 Stell to come. Lefty's are losing it and the ABC's 0:24:04.520 --> 0:24:18.760 felled gotcha moment with Republican Marjorie Taylor Green. Welcome back. 0:24:18.840 --> 0:24:22.320 Now it's time for Lefty's Losing it. And here is 0:24:22.520 --> 0:24:27.040 Harris County judge and an incoherent lefting losing it. Her 0:24:27.119 --> 0:24:31.920 name is Lena Hidalgo, and here she demands that no 0:24:31.960 --> 0:24:35.320 one politicizes the murder of a twelve year old Texan 0:24:35.440 --> 0:24:40.080 child allegedly tortured and murdered by illegal immigrants. And she 0:24:40.240 --> 0:24:46.640 makes this demand while blaming Donald Trump for Biden's border crisis. Astonishing. 0:24:47.640 --> 0:24:51.440 It hurts even more that they're being used as pawns 0:24:51.720 --> 0:24:56.040 in this fate over immigration that doesn't even exist. Because 0:24:56.240 --> 0:24:58.960 Laden and McConnell agree, it's just that Trump won lot 0:24:58.960 --> 0:25:01.120 of it forward all. 0:25:01.119 --> 0:25:04.400 Due respect, Juds, you said this issue shouldn't be politicized, 0:25:04.440 --> 0:25:07.919 But by pointing the finger at former President Trump and 0:25:07.960 --> 0:25:11.639 Republicans in Congress, aren't you politicizing it? 0:25:13.400 --> 0:25:16.200 I think I answered that. I think I answered the questions, 0:25:16.320 --> 0:25:20.800 so yeah, I mean it's this is about Jocelyn. This 0:25:20.840 --> 0:25:26.320 is about her family and if we want to talk 0:25:26.359 --> 0:25:27.160 about immigration. 0:25:27.640 --> 0:25:32.320 Didn't answer the question, are you politicizing this by pointing 0:25:32.320 --> 0:25:35.639 the finger at Republicans and saying it's their fault, not 0:25:35.760 --> 0:25:38.920 the fault of the Biden administration that lifted the remain 0:25:38.960 --> 0:25:40.040 in Mexico policies. 0:25:41.720 --> 0:25:45.640 Again, the Biden administration reached an agreement with Leader McConnell 0:25:45.640 --> 0:25:47.760 to address this. But this is not about immigration. I'm 0:25:47.800 --> 0:25:52.080 not going to feed into that. 0:25:52.080 --> 0:25:55.240 That woman who can barely string a sentence together without 0:25:55.240 --> 0:25:59.520
