3
00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:12,399
Speaker 3: Good evening and welcome to the readA Panety Show. Coming

4
00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:17,040

Speaker 3: tax on propertyholders dan while we'll be here to discuss

6
00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:23,960
Speaker 3: the day's top headlines, including the impact of the Albanza

Speaker 3: me with the latest from the US, including the curious

9
00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:35,839
Speaker 3: timing of Joe Biden's cancer diagnosis, and later in the

10
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:40,040
Speaker 3: hour Kins's Scofield we'll be here with celebrity and world news,

11
00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:44,800
Speaker 3: including Megan Markle's popularity pummitting to a new low. And

12
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:47,760
Speaker 3: we never forget Left is losing it tonight, the race

13
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:52,320
Speaker 3: obsessed Left object to a few dozen Afrikaners being granted

14
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:53,639
Speaker 3: asylum in America.

15
00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:57,400
Speaker 4: We can't be ourselves in the Episcopal Church and take

16
00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:00,760
Speaker 4: the step of resettling white Africaners from stuf North Africa.

17
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:04,920
Speaker 4: Our church has a long commitment to racial justice and reconciliation.

18
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:10,800
Speaker 3: But First Liberal leader Susan Lees under mounting pressure to

19
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:14,240
Speaker 3: drop the net zero policy negotiated by Scott Morrison with

20
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:17,639
Speaker 3: the Nationals in twenty twenty one as the party seeks

21
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:20,959
Speaker 3: to forge a new path forward. The Australian newspaper revealing

22
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:24,119
Speaker 3: today that both the Liberal and National Party rooms are

23
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:28,520
Speaker 3: divided over their commitments to net zero and energy policies.

24
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:31,280
Speaker 3: Joining me now for more on this is Deputy Executive

25
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:35,160
Speaker 3: Director of the Institute of Public Affairs, Dan Wild. Dan.

26
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 3: The Coalition adopted net zero in twenty twenty one and

27
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:44,760
Speaker 3: since then they've suffered two devastating election losses. Do you

28
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 3: see a link between those two events?

29
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, net zero is a vote loser. Time to try

30
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 5: something different. You know, you and I have discussed the

31
00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 5: many and varied economic and social consequences of net zero

32
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 5: to Australia talking about the Liberal Party. Though obviously net

33
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:10,600
Speaker 5: zero is inconsistent with Liberal values. It enables a massive

34
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 5: expansion to government bureaucracy to interfere in almost every single

35
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 5: aspect of our lives, whether it's the food we can eat,

36
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 5: the cars we can drive, the houses we can live in,

37
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 5: the kind of industries that we can have in our economy.

38
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:28,799
Speaker 5: So it's inconsistent with any ethos of smaller government. It's

39
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:31,520
Speaker 5: also a threat to our national sovereignty because it requires

40
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:36,440
Speaker 5: us to import foreign technology, including from China, into Australia,

41
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 5: and it's also a massive tax on working Australians when

42
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:41,920
Speaker 5: you look at how energy bills are going up and

43
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 5: the cost of living is going up, which is primarily

44
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 5: driven by energy costs. So on any account, of course,

45
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:49,480
Speaker 5: the Liberal Party should be dumping net zero.

46
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:54,840
Speaker 3: You're a candidate at the recent election in a safe

47
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:58,960
Speaker 3: labor seed. Did you, as a Liberal candidate have any

48
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 3: input into any policy into the net zero position?

49
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:09,519
Speaker 5: Not at a central level, reader, I mean, I advocated

50
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:11,520
Speaker 5: the cause on the ground. But you know one thing

51
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 5: I can tell you, particularly in out of suburban electorates

52
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:17,040
Speaker 5: such as the one I stood for, is that not

53
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 5: one single person came up to me and asked me

54
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:24,240
Speaker 5: how is Australia going in meeting our nationally determined contribution

55
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:27,239
Speaker 5: to cutor additions to net zero by twenty fifty under

56
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 5: the Paris Climate Agreement. Funnily enough, that wasn't raised even

57
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 5: once Rita. It might be hard to believe, but you know,

58
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 5: Australians are just over the climate fanaticism and one a

59
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:40,720
Speaker 5: government which is focused on the bottom line, not on

60
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 5: bureaucrats in Brussels.

61
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 3: I just can't understand the coalition sticking with this policy.

62
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 3: I said it all throughout this year during the election campaign.

63
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 3: The last time they fought an election on this issue,

64
00:03:56,280 --> 00:04:00,040
Speaker 3: they won the unwinnable election back in twenty nineteen, and

65
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 3: they signed up to zero devastating loss. Devastating loss again.

66
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 3: And you can't fight about issues like cost of living

67
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 3: when you signed up to this madness, because it impacts

68
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:18,920
Speaker 3: every facet of life, from businesses to households to large

69
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 3: scale manufacturing sector. It is absolutely crippling for us. But

70
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 3: let's move on to the Abanazy government's tax on unrealized

71
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:30,920
Speaker 3: gains on superannuation funds in excess of three million dollars.

72
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:34,919
Speaker 3: It will come into effect July one. It's expected to

73
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 3: pass both the Lower House and the Senate with ease,

74
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 3: given the Greens have the balance of power in the

75
00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 3: upper house and the Liberals really fail to explain why

76
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 3: this tax is so so unfair, so grossly unfair. And

77
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 3: it doesn't just impact the reach, it also has a

78
00:04:53,880 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 3: massive impact on investment, a negative impact on the investment. Yeah,

79
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:01,480
Speaker 3: that's right.

80
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:03,840
Speaker 5: I think there's a couple of things. You know, as

81
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:05,800
Speaker 5: with any kind of new tax, it's actually often the

82
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:07,719
Speaker 5: rich that can avoid at the best because they have

83
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:11,720
Speaker 5: the resources told to their investment portfolios to minimize the

84
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:14,160
Speaker 5: impact of tax. Actually those are the middle that tend

85
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 5: to copy it. The other point is this will damage

86
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 5: self you know, the sm self run super funds, and

87
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:24,360
Speaker 5: it will channel more money into industry super funds, and

88
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:26,480
Speaker 5: which is obviously a benefit to labor and the unions,

89
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 5: given that those super funds are run by unions. I

90
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 5: think the other point reader is this tax is incredibly opaque.

91
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:36,680
Speaker 5: It's not really clear how it will be administered. And

92
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:40,680
Speaker 5: one of the fundamental principles of taxation is you need

93
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 5: to actually know how much tax you're liable for. So

94
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:45,160
Speaker 5: you know, you earn an income, you've got to pay

95
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 5: income tax, you buy something from the shops, you pay GST,

96
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:50,359
Speaker 5: you own a business, you pay payroll tax. That we

97
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:52,840
Speaker 5: can debate the sites and the magnitude of those taxes,

98
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:54,800
Speaker 5: but at least they're obvious in terms of how much

99
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 5: you have to pay. But this tax is very opaque,

100
00:05:57,560 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 5: so I don't even know if the treasure himself can

101
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 5: explain how this is going to be enforced or how

102
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:04,839
Speaker 5: much packs The typical investor is actually going to pay.

103
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:09,599
Speaker 3: Well, it's going to impact as many as one point

104
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:14,120
Speaker 3: eight million Australians, could spread to other income levels and

105
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:16,960
Speaker 3: other structures. It's one that would think we have to

106
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:20,960
Speaker 3: keep talking about. But now to the Victorian state budget,

107
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:24,839
Speaker 3: and despite the net debt soaring towards two hundred billion,

108
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:28,919
Speaker 3: premierges Into Allen and Treasurer Jacelin Simes are hailing a

109
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:32,239
Speaker 3: six hundred million dollar surplus stand This is nine hundred

110
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 3: million dollars lower than what was forecast last year. They

111
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:39,640
Speaker 3: are hailing this as the state's first back in black

112
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:43,360
Speaker 3: budget since the pandemic. But really, who are they fooling here?

113
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 3: Victoria is in dire financial straits and we're facing a

114
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:53,559
Speaker 3: credit downgrade Dan. The state's credit rating is already at

115
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 3: a record low and it could fall further.

116
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's right.

117
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:03,920
Speaker 5: I don't think that the claim surplus is worth the

118
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,760
Speaker 5: paper it's written on, because we know that tens of

119
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 5: billions of dollars, particularly in the infrastructure investments, have been

120
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 5: shuffled off the books. They're done through other vehicles that

121
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:17,760
Speaker 5: aren't accounted for in the normal The headline figures that

122
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 5: we see written up in the media and propagated by

123
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:24,760
Speaker 5: the government. So you've got the massive suburban railroop, which

124
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:29,360
Speaker 5: is unpopular, unnecessary and is unaffordable, and many other costs

125
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:31,680
Speaker 5: that aren't included in this. So look, I think that

126
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:35,560
Speaker 5: ultimately everybody knows that Victoria is going downhill when it

127
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:38,880
Speaker 5: comes to its finances and economy. This is no longer abstract.

128
00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:42,240
Speaker 5: We're seeing cuts to funding of schools, potential cuts to

129
00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 5: health and other services of.

130
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:45,680
Speaker 3: Victorians rely upon.

131
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:48,920
Speaker 5: And of course if Victoria goes down, it will bring

132
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:51,120
Speaker 5: the rest of the country with it. We already know

133
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 5: that it's getting a larger distribution of the GST to

134
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:58,280
Speaker 5: compensate for the Victorian government's financial mismanagement. And at the

135
00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:00,360
Speaker 5: end of the day, it's going to be everybody else

136
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:02,600
Speaker 5: in this country that will have to bail out the

137
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:04,440
Speaker 5: failing state that is Victoria.

138
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:11,920
Speaker 3: Now. CFE volunteers across Victoria have stopped attending callouts and

139
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 3: some have threatened to quit. Some have even burned their

140
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 3: uniforms in fury over the state government's new emergency services tax.

141
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:24,600
Speaker 3: This tax replaces the fire services levy, will be raising

142
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:29,280
Speaker 3: more money and it will be changed alongside council rates.

143
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:32,600
Speaker 3: And while all landholders in Victoria are going to be

144
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:36,320
Speaker 3: paying for this. It's farmers in particular who are facing

145
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:41,360
Speaker 3: massive increases, possibly tens of thousands of dollars, and a

146
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:44,439
Speaker 3: lot of farmers volunteer for the CFA. DAN, you can

147
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 3: understand why they're so upset.

148
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:53,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, this is an absolute disgrace. It's being done primarily

149
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 5: because the volunteers in the CFA are not unionized, so

150
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 5: they want to government wants to shove out the volunteers

151
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:04,400
Speaker 5: and bring them under a union rubric. So this is

152
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:08,480
Speaker 5: a disgraceful attack on a critical volunteering organization being done

153
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:13,320
Speaker 5: for political purposes. It heightens the risk of risk to

154
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:16,719
Speaker 5: human life in the event of a bushfire because Victorians

155
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 5: rely upon the services of volunteers, and I think it's

156
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 5: an example of just how short sighted the government is

157
00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:28,560
Speaker 5: when they're attacking the very people they're engaging in a

158
00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:31,720
Speaker 5: community surface that is so valuable. So I think there's

159
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:34,240
Speaker 5: a lot to be worried about in the direction of this.

160
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:37,959
Speaker 5: But unfortunately, as we just discussed, because the government is

161
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:40,800
Speaker 5: so cash strapped, they're going to be looking to tax

162
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:44,839
Speaker 5: absolutely everything that moves. Well.

163
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:47,240
Speaker 3: We are saying that in Victoria in particular, they are

164
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:51,840
Speaker 3: absolutely hooked on property taxes in particular, whether it's land tax,

165
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:56,320
Speaker 3: stamp duties and now we've got emergency services tax Stan.

166
00:09:56,520 --> 00:10:00,680
Speaker 3: It really is again a disincentive to invest in Victoria.

167
00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:04,400
Speaker 3: Why would you invest in this state where you're going

168
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:07,920
Speaker 3: to be absolutely crippled with taxes, particularly if you're a

169
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 3: mum and dad a landholder.

170
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:15,160
Speaker 5: Well that's right, and I think it's also cautionary tale

171
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:16,840
Speaker 5: for the rest of Australia, which is, you know, this

172
00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:19,880
Speaker 5: is what happens when you don't get your financial house

173
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:22,800
Speaker 5: in order. I think for a lot of people, massive

174
00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:25,480
Speaker 5: government debt it's a pretty abstract concept. It doesn't appear

175
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:27,720
Speaker 5: to affect their day to day lives. But what actually

176
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 5: happens is you get reduction to services and higher taxes.

177
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 5: And yes they'll start at the top end. They say,

178
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 5: oh we're any taxing property investors. That won't affect people

179
00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:38,280
Speaker 5: on the ground. But then salami slice after salami slice,

180
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:40,480
Speaker 5: it gets worse and worse until you find the economy

181
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:42,800
Speaker 5: is plunged into a very deep recession, which is where

182
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:44,040
Speaker 5: I fear Victoria is going.

183
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:49,000
Speaker 3: Now before you go, you are in South Australia, I'm

184
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:52,400
Speaker 3: interested in your take on the latest development in the

185
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:58,320
Speaker 3: Willie Rioli saga. He's served a one match suspension for

186
00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:03,760
Speaker 3: threatening a player via a teammate online. But Dan was

187
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:06,439
Speaker 3: seeing many in the AFL world, and in particular at

188
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:11,280
Speaker 3: Port Adelaide, trying to frame Willioli as the victim. Now

189
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:15,200
Speaker 3: Port Adelaide president David Kosh even suggested that he was

190
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:20,120
Speaker 3: the victim of culturally insensitive comments from the Bulldog, something

191
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:22,959
Speaker 3: the Bulldog's coach was not going to cop.

192
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:28,240
Speaker 7: As a matter of fact, that the comments weren't culturally

193
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:34,160
Speaker 7: in sensitive. That surprised me that he would insinuate or

194
00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:38,560
Speaker 7: accuse our pliers of going down that track. But we

195
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:39,760
Speaker 7: won't ask for an apology.

196
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:40,280
Speaker 1: We'll just.

197
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:44,840
Speaker 7: Obviously remember it for the next time.

198
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:49,199
Speaker 3: Dan Luke Befridge made some good points. They also made

199
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:54,400
Speaker 3: the excellent point that port is effectively enabling Rioli's poor

200
00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:57,520
Speaker 3: behavior with these endless excuses.

201
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:01,320
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's right.

202
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:03,319
Speaker 5: I think your article a couple of days ago summed

203
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:06,400
Speaker 5: it up, which is another exam example of the hypocritical

204
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:08,960
Speaker 5: double standards of the AFL. You know, I thought the

205
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:11,760
Speaker 5: AFL W stood for AFL Women's It turns out it

206
00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:15,240
Speaker 5: stands for AFL woke. You know, time and time again

207
00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:18,959
Speaker 5: we see this sort of double standard apply to identity politics.

208
00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:21,480
Speaker 5: You know, you could take the example of tex Walker

209
00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:25,360
Speaker 5: and another great South Australian footballer who you know a

210
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:27,480
Speaker 5: little while ago, was rubbed out for a number of

211
00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:29,360
Speaker 5: games and had to pay a massive fine because of

212
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:32,600
Speaker 5: alleged racial comments that he made that I don't believe

213
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 5: we're ever recorded anywhere, and maybe he made them, maybe

214
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:37,800
Speaker 5: he didn't, but you know, how come that gets one

215
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:41,440
Speaker 5: treatment and you know, this situation with Rioli gets another one.

216
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:43,400
Speaker 5: I mean, you also make the point about Port coach

217
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:47,440
Speaker 5: Hinckley who got a massive fine for you know, something

218
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:50,960
Speaker 5: that was pretty innocuous, and again we see the double standard.

219
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:52,680
Speaker 5: So I just think the football fans had a gut

220
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:55,559
Speaker 5: full of this double standard that applies to the AFL,

221
00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:57,440
Speaker 5: and if the rules are there, they should be applied

222
00:12:57,440 --> 00:12:59,000
Speaker 5: to everybody on an equal basis.

223
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:04,560
Speaker 3: Yes, they're very selective about how they apply their rules

224
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:07,240
Speaker 3: and a lot of people presumed there was some racial

225
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:11,640
Speaker 3: aspect to why they were initially so soft on Willie Rioli.

226
00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:16,000
Speaker 3: They find the coach, they're twenty thousand dollars for something

227
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:19,360
Speaker 3: that wasn't offensive or threatening. It may have not been

228
00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:24,240
Speaker 3: a good look. They find players thousands for giving the finger,

229
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:29,440
Speaker 3: but a player making a threat and basically getting away

230
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:32,719
Speaker 3: with an apology Initially, that did raise a lot of eyebrows.

231
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:34,720
Speaker 3: Dan Wild, thank you so much for your time tonight.

232
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:39,880
Speaker 3: Joining me now is esteem geologist and author Professor Ian

233
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:44,640
Speaker 3: Primary inlets start in the US, where engineers have discovered

234
00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:49,600
Speaker 3: kill switches embedded in Chinese manufactured power inverters installed at

235
00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:54,040
Speaker 3: American solar farms, prompting fears that the Chinese Communist Party

236
00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:59,440
Speaker 3: could physically destroy grids across the US, UK and other

237
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:03,280
Speaker 3: parts of U We're by remotely switching off the power supply.

238
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:08,040
Speaker 3: Are we shocked by this development? This is precisely what

239
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:10,559
Speaker 3: you've been warning about as a possibility.

240
00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:12,920
Speaker 6: No, not at all shocked. It's been on the cards

241
00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:16,080
Speaker 6: for a very very long time. And it could be

242
00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:20,119
Speaker 6: a Chinese solar industrial complex. It could be a wind turbine,

243
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:23,400
Speaker 6: it could be a Chinese car, it could be Huiwei

244
00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:28,680
Speaker 6: telecommunications network. We've known that this possibility existed for a

245
00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:31,320
Speaker 6: very long period of time. It's fairly easy to do,

246
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:36,560
Speaker 6: and it's just a method of industrial chaos. Is trying

247
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:42,000
Speaker 6: to weaken your opposition, so there are no surprises.

248
00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:45,800
Speaker 3: Can we trust the Chinese Communist Party not to resort

249
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:47,760
Speaker 3: to these sort of tactics at some point?

250
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:50,520
Speaker 6: I don't think you can trust any Communists, whether it

251
00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:54,960
Speaker 6: be Chinese or Russian or East German, that goes with

252
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:55,720
Speaker 6: the territory.

253
00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:59,760
Speaker 3: Well, and we already know when it comes to trade,

254
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:02,560
Speaker 3: with this latest tariff war we're having, that they do

255
00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:06,520
Speaker 3: not play by the rules, They steal intellectual property, they

256
00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:10,960
Speaker 3: do all sorts of things that are just grossly unfair.

257
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:13,600
Speaker 3: And this is just another aspect of that. And we

258
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:17,400
Speaker 3: are so reliant on them for this infrastructure, aren't we.

259
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:22,320
Speaker 3: When we look at renewables, China's really the greatest beneficiary.

260
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:25,240
Speaker 6: Well, there's a simple solution to that. Don't go net zero,

261
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:26,520
Speaker 6: don't go renewables.

262
00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:27,360
Speaker 3: Go back to.

263
00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:30,720
Speaker 6: Cheap, reliable coal fired electricity. We had it for a

264
00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:31,200
Speaker 6: long time.

265
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:36,400
Speaker 3: Typed China users reduce these solar Yes, that's exactly what happens.

266
00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:39,640
Speaker 6: China buys our coal and then produce the solar panels

267
00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:44,040
Speaker 6: and wind turbines and other machinery to compete against our industries.

268
00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:46,680
Speaker 6: So they get it both ways, and we copy it

269
00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:50,280
Speaker 6: in the eyes both ways, So this is absolute manner.

270
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:54,520
Speaker 6: So the solution is simple, go back to cheap, reliable

271
00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:58,560
Speaker 6: coal fired electricity in this state, Victoria, it was the

272
00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:01,320
Speaker 6: cheapest in the world with the brown coal that we

273
00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:03,680
Speaker 6: had here. Now it isn't no.

274
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:05,680
Speaker 3: And it's amongst the most expensive you would say, our

275
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:09,280
Speaker 3: energy prices. Now, what is your assessment of the newly

276
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:13,440
Speaker 3: appointed Environment Minister Murray Wat. He's promising to deliver a

277
00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:16,920
Speaker 3: decision on the Northwest Shelf gas project by the end

278
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:21,400
Speaker 3: of the month. Will he be an improvement on his predecessor,

279
00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:26,480
Speaker 3: Tannia Plibasek. Of course, she infamously blocked a number of

280
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:31,000
Speaker 3: major projects that would have raised significant tax revenue created

281
00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:35,520
Speaker 3: a multitude of well paying jobs in regional areas. Can

282
00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:37,520
Speaker 3: we expect better from Murray Wat?

283
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:40,160
Speaker 6: Well, I don't know. He didn't shine in his previous

284
00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:44,440
Speaker 6: portfolio and it's not hard to outshine Tanya Plebasek. So

285
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:48,680
Speaker 6: he's only going to be fairly dull and not very

286
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:52,680
Speaker 6: reflective and he'll do better. It's very very clear that

287
00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:55,120
Speaker 6: there was an internal fight going on in the Labor

288
00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:58,080
Speaker 6: Party and Tanya Plebersek was driving this to make life

289
00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:02,200
Speaker 6: very difficult for the Prime Minister. She's lost at portfolio.

290
00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:07,840
Speaker 6: Maybe the labor government might think that having a productive economy,

291
00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:11,719
Speaker 6: an economy that actually creates wealth, an economy that actually

292
00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:16,000
Speaker 6: has organizations and people pay tax, maybe that's best for

293
00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:19,359
Speaker 6: the country rather than playing ideological factional games.

294
00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:23,320
Speaker 3: Now to an issue that is getting scant media coverage,

295
00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:26,159
Speaker 3: and that's the drought that has left parts of Victoria

296
00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:29,439
Speaker 3: in severe distress. Parts of the state have had really

297
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:33,520
Speaker 3: no rainfall for two years. There is some relief, but

298
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:35,639
Speaker 3: many farmers are missing out.

299
00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:40,199
Speaker 8: Duncan Barber's farm at Metcalf is one of those that

300
00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:44,200
Speaker 8: missed out. It's been pretty hard to deal with seeing

301
00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:48,440
Speaker 8: all that death. You've got to deal with death neely

302
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:52,239
Speaker 8: every day. He feels forgotten by the government. I know

303
00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:54,439
Speaker 8: they've got no money because poor management, and they're not

304
00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:56,080
Speaker 8: going to That's why they don't want to help us.

305
00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:59,840
Speaker 4: There's a nationally recognized framework that brings areas into the

306
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:01,240
Speaker 4: drought declaration.

307
00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:07,560
Speaker 3: It's hard not to think that the state government here

308
00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:12,800
Speaker 3: has just great disdain for farmers. For regional areas, there

309
00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:16,040
Speaker 3: is a great deal of suffering out there at an anger.

310
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:20,520
Speaker 6: Well, that's the case. Farmers get the short straw country wide.

311
00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:23,560
Speaker 6: They suffer drought, they suffer floods, they suffer bush fires.

312
00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:27,400
Speaker 6: This droughts not only restricted to southwestern Victoria, southeastern South

313
00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:33,040
Speaker 6: Australia as well. Yet northeastern Victoria is quite wet, so

314
00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:37,719
Speaker 6: these are localized droughts. These have a dramatic effect on

315
00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:41,160
Speaker 6: the cash flow of farmers. Farmers get treated with absolute

316
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:44,360
Speaker 6: disdain in this country. You've only got to see how

317
00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:48,560
Speaker 6: they're treated with putting high voltage power lines across their land,

318
00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:53,600
Speaker 6: sterilizing their land, or putting wind turbines proximal to their properties.

319
00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:58,160
Speaker 6: So we actually should be treating our farmers much better. Now.

320
00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:00,720
Speaker 6: If the farmers had really you got sick of this,

321
00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:04,920
Speaker 6: they actually could go and strike like our union friends,

322
00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:08,159
Speaker 6: and they would not deliver food to the cities and

323
00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:12,360
Speaker 6: every one week before we'd have absolute chaos and possible

324
00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:15,040
Speaker 6: anarchy in the cities. So the farmers have a huge

325
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:18,000
Speaker 6: amount of muscle, and we have to be careful to

326
00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:21,600
Speaker 6: treat farmers as people who are actually providing a great

327
00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:23,959
Speaker 6: service and that is food on your table.

328
00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:26,480
Speaker 3: I think there's going to be some protests in the

329
00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:30,520
Speaker 3: Melbourne CBD tomorrow morning, so we'll bring you news of

330
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:34,119
Speaker 3: that tomorrow. Now, before you go the new Greens leader,

331
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:36,840
Speaker 3: Larissa Waters, I'm interested in your take on her. It

332
00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:39,720
Speaker 3: doesn't look like she's going to be returning the Greens

333
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:44,399
Speaker 3: to their environmentalist roots. She's all about social justice.

334
00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:48,560
Speaker 9: We're the Greens, so of course we stand firm always

335
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:52,880
Speaker 9: on social justice and human rights, whether that's First Nations justice,

336
00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:57,320
Speaker 9: whether that's a free Palestine, whether that's peace and human rights.

337
00:19:57,359 --> 00:19:59,359
Speaker 3: Globally, we will always.

338
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:03,160
Speaker 9: Be there calling out atrocities, calling out a genocide and

339
00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:09,359
Speaker 9: standing strongly on social justice and human rights.

340
00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:12,000
Speaker 3: Is it more of the same, Well, I think it's

341
00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:12,600
Speaker 3: more of the same.

342
00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:15,879
Speaker 6: I mean, a Green Party really should be concerned about

343
00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:19,280
Speaker 6: environmental matters, and they are not. They are supportive of

344
00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:22,560
Speaker 6: bulldozing large amounts of rainforest in Queensland to put in

345
00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:26,760
Speaker 6: wind turbines. They're supportive of bulldozing large amounts of forest

346
00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:29,880
Speaker 6: and the snowy mountains to put in high voltage power lines.

347
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:35,080
Speaker 6: And these people are basically concerned about issues which communists

348
00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:37,639
Speaker 6: around the world are concerned. So they've got nothing to

349
00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:40,359
Speaker 6: do with the environment. And if they were an environmental party,

350
00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:43,080
Speaker 6: they wouldn't be killing the forests. They wouldn't be killing

351
00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:46,280
Speaker 6: birds and bats with turbine blades. They wouldn't be killing

352
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:50,199
Speaker 6: whales with offshore turbines. They wouldn't be poisoning soils with

353
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:55,680
Speaker 6: wind blades and with detritus coming off solar panels. They're

354
00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:58,000
Speaker 6: not a Greens party at all. They are a minor

355
00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:02,400
Speaker 6: group of rat bag communists who want to control everything

356
00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:03,160
Speaker 6: in the country.

357
00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:07,520
Speaker 3: Professor in Plymouth, thank you for those insights. Still to

358
00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:11,480
Speaker 3: Kalma left his Losing ed class the latest from the US,

359
00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:16,240
Speaker 3: including the curious timing of Joe Biden's cancer diagnosis. Josh

360
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:26,000
Speaker 3: Hammer has the details. You're watching the Reader Panny Show,

361
00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:29,320
Speaker 3: and it's time for lefties losing it. Let's start with

362
00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:33,480
Speaker 3: another celebrity who is determined to trash their own reputation.

363
00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:37,520
Speaker 3: This one appears to have no qualms about his legacy

364
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:42,399
Speaker 3: being damaged with his ignorant, hair brained hate and vitriol.

365
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:47,760
Speaker 3: Here is Bruce Springsteen launching into a boring anti Trump

366
00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:50,879
Speaker 3: die tribe to an audience who would rather he just

367
00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:53,280
Speaker 3: sang some of his classic songs.

368
00:21:54,280 --> 00:22:02,800
Speaker 10: They're removing residents of American streets out due process of law,

369
00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:05,840
Speaker 10: are devoting them to foreign detention.

370
00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:11,840
Speaker 3: Centers and prisoners. This is all happening now.

371
00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:21,760
Speaker 10: The majority of our elected representatives have failed to protect

372
00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:27,280
Speaker 10: the American people from the abuses of an unfit president.

373
00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:34,720
Speaker 3: And a rural He wasn't done yet, though the audience

374
00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:37,359
Speaker 3: seemed to be thoroughly fit up. You can tell that

375
00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:39,400
Speaker 3: by the scant applause.

376
00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:44,920
Speaker 10: The America of that I've sung to you about for

377
00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:47,760
Speaker 10: fifty years is real.

378
00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:52,679
Speaker 3: And regardless of its face, it's a.

379
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:57,000
Speaker 10: Great country with a great to will survive this morning.

380
00:22:57,680 --> 00:23:01,080
Speaker 3: Look, we can't talk about Bruce Springstey without featuring his

381
00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:04,720
Speaker 3: great work during the election campaign, where he appeared at

382
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:08,879
Speaker 3: Kamala rallies to built out the classics.

383
00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:15,359
Speaker 11: You'll be carming you about right, See, you gotta stay hungry.

384
00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:22,840
Speaker 3: Well, I'm just about starving the night. Oh dear.

385
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:26,560
Speaker 4: Little world falling apart.

386
00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:29,480
Speaker 10: This gun's for higher.

387
00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:34,840
Speaker 11: Even if we just dancing in the girl.

388
00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:39,720
Speaker 3: Now, trust me, that was literally the best bit. I

389
00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:44,000
Speaker 3: could have been mean and played this, working on.

390
00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:52,000
Speaker 11: Dad's grin, driving all like cheez and some rush.

391
00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:57,040
Speaker 3: That is green. But at least old Bruce is short footed.

392
00:23:57,119 --> 00:24:15,840
Speaker 3: Sure he can't sing anymore, but he can dance. I'll

393
00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:20,040
Speaker 3: have more celebrities disgracing themselves tomorrow and I but now

394
00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:22,960
Speaker 3: to the left losing it because the Trump administration is

395
00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:27,800
Speaker 3: granting refugee status to a few dozen Africanas. Of course,

396
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:32,640
Speaker 3: white landholders are increasingly fleeing the racial hatred and violence

397
00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:37,000
Speaker 3: of modern day South Africa. But MSNBC would prefer them

398
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:40,360
Speaker 3: to stay where they are. Here is Donna Edwards.

399
00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:41,840
Speaker 12: Well.

400
00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:44,320
Speaker 1: In my view, what makes it different is that they

401
00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:48,359
Speaker 1: are white South Africans. The President, in my view, has

402
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:51,760
Speaker 1: not hidden his racism behind a bushel. In fact, you

403
00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:56,200
Speaker 1: know in his policies, whether it's removing government workers or

404
00:24:56,320 --> 00:25:01,800
Speaker 1: in this case admitting white South Africans, of denying refugee

405
00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:07,480
Speaker 1: status asylum seekers from other countries disgraceful.

406
00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:11,160
Speaker 3: And the race spaces are in the churches too. Here

407
00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:12,879
Speaker 3: is Bishop Chnroe.

408
00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:16,560
Speaker 4: We can't be ourselves in the Episcopal Church and take

409
00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:20,399
Speaker 4: the step of resettling white africaners from South Africa. Our

410
00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:24,040
Speaker 4: church has a long commitment to racial justice and reconciliation

411
00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:27,240
Speaker 4: and we have historic ties with the Anglican Church of

412
00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:32,440
Speaker 4: South Africa. Desmond Tutu is a part of a partner

413
00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:35,600
Speaker 4: and a partner in this work for us. We're just

414
00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:39,040
Speaker 4: not able to take this staff. It's not in line

415
00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:41,520
Speaker 4: with anything that we're about.

416
00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:44,719
Speaker 3: And let's have a quick look at what's happening in

417
00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:48,639
Speaker 3: South Africa. Here is a politician calling for white women,

418
00:25:48,960 --> 00:26:00,199
Speaker 3: white children, and even their pets to be killed. And

419
00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:03,680
Speaker 3: here is a politician leading a stadium full of people

420
00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:08,439
Speaker 3: calling for and I quote, shoot to kill, kill the boer,

421
00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:29,720
Speaker 3: kill the farmer. But MSNBC and CNN and the rest

422
00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:31,640
Speaker 3: of them must have missed all that. If you want

423
00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:35,800
Speaker 3: to see how loathsome and intolerant these leftists are, then

424
00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:39,280
Speaker 3: look no further than Ashley Allison, who firstly seems to

425
00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:42,640
Speaker 3: be quite happy with the discriminatory laws in South Africa,

426
00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:45,959
Speaker 3: and then she really ramps up the bigotry.

427
00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:50,080
Speaker 13: That allowed for a racial reconciliation, one that this country

428
00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:52,840
Speaker 13: has yet to do. But South Africa did it and

429
00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:55,640
Speaker 13: they reformed their constitution. And part of that is that

430
00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:58,440
Speaker 13: the people who are native to that land deserve their

431
00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:03,479
Speaker 13: rightful land back. That is not what the Afrikaaners actually

432
00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:06,439
Speaker 13: want to have happened, which are the white Africans and

433
00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:11,320
Speaker 13: so who are not originally from Africa who colonize South

434
00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:14,399
Speaker 13: Africa also, and so that is what they are saying

435
00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:18,879
Speaker 13: is discrimination. Now, if the constitution in South Africa is discriminatory,

436
00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:22,399
Speaker 13: they have their checks and balances in that land just

437
00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:24,159
Speaker 13: like we do, and that is for them to So

438
00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:26,920
Speaker 13: if the Afrikaaners don't actually like the land, they can

439
00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:32,760
Speaker 13: leave that country they are. They can actually even go

440
00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:35,880
Speaker 13: to where their native land is, which is probably Germany.

441
00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:38,800
Speaker 3: Are you against in coming here, Holland, Holland? Are you

442
00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:39,800
Speaker 3: against in coming here?

443
00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:42,840
Speaker 13: I'm against the hypocrisy of this in MINUSESO, let's get

444
00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:44,919
Speaker 13: the question. The questions are against coming here if there

445
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:47,040
Speaker 13: was actually a genocide happening.

446
00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:51,480
Speaker 3: So Afrikanas being murdered in their own farms should flee

447
00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:55,040
Speaker 3: to where they came from almost five hundred years ago,

448
00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:58,040
Speaker 3: the Dutch settlers the Afrikaanas first arrived in Africa or

449
00:27:58,080 --> 00:28:02,040
Speaker 3: in sixteen fifty too. But they need to go back

450
00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:06,439
Speaker 3: to Holland. But some gangbanger from El Salvador who was

451
00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:10,080
Speaker 3: in America five minutes and entered illegally, Well, they've got

452
00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:13,679
Speaker 3: to be considered American and given all their rights. Let's

453
00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:17,119
Speaker 3: allow Ashley Allison to finish her as nine point.

454
00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:21,560
Speaker 13: I'm not opposed to Venezueland and South America's coming to America,

455
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:25,800
Speaker 13: if they are fleeing and looking for asylum, what I

456
00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:27,879
Speaker 13: am against. It's not about being against them. What I

457
00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:30,840
Speaker 13: am against is that they are being given special treatment

458
00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:33,200
Speaker 13: when there is not a genocide happening in South Africa

459
00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:34,960
Speaker 13: and they just don't like the law of the land.

460
00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:38,720
Speaker 3: Well you know what, Yes, they don't like the law

461
00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:41,200
Speaker 3: of the land in South Africa, the ones where their

462
00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:46,160
Speaker 3: land is seized without compensation. Great point. Ashley joining me

463
00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:49,360
Speaker 3: now is a Newsweek's senior editor at Large an article

464
00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:53,560
Speaker 3: three projects Senior Council Josh Hammer. Josh, We're going to

465
00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:58,480
Speaker 3: speak about the timing of Joe Biden's cancer diagnosis shortly,

466
00:28:58,560 --> 00:29:01,960
Speaker 3: but first on this issue, have you been surprised by

467
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:05,240
Speaker 3: the manner in which these lefteris have attacked a few

468
00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:08,200
Speaker 3: dozen Africanas arriving in America?

469
00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:12,200
Speaker 2: You know, readA god, God bless Scott Jennings, who we

470
00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:14,080
Speaker 2: just saw there on CNN. Now that man deserves a

471
00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:17,400
Speaker 2: pay raise because of just the utter humiliating crack that

472
00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:19,920
Speaker 2: he has to go through night in and night out

473
00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:23,560
Speaker 2: on CNN. I mean, it's just utterly insane there. I

474
00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:26,040
Speaker 2: mean this, this woman is clearly telling America that she

475
00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:28,200
Speaker 2: just hates white people. I mean that that is actually

476
00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:31,320
Speaker 2: what she's saying in there. She she even she knows

477
00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:33,280
Speaker 2: though that she actually cannot say that, because even she

478
00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:34,840
Speaker 2: would probably be kicked off the show if you said

479
00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:36,960
Speaker 2: up there. But that's exactly what she's saying. We're talking

480
00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:39,200
Speaker 2: here about about about about four to four and a

481
00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:42,520
Speaker 2: half dozen africaners. This is this is nothing. I mean,

482
00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:44,720
Speaker 2: I mean, this is a pimple on the back of

483
00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:46,800
Speaker 2: the of the butt of the rear end of the

484
00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:50,680
Speaker 2: American immigration apparatus. There there's a tiny, tiny, tiny sliver

485
00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:52,800
Speaker 2: of the migrants who have been let in over the

486
00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:55,560
Speaker 2: past four years on the Biden administration. There again, this

487
00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:58,640
Speaker 2: is pure unmitigated racism there. It's nothing less than discussing.

488
00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:02,480
Speaker 2: By the way, the South African government is absolutely positively horrific.

489
00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:04,560
Speaker 2: I know this because you know read it prior to

490
00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:06,640
Speaker 2: our first baby being born in leint December my my wife,

491
00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:08,920
Speaker 2: we're about to go on a baby moon. As as

492
00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:11,040
Speaker 2: the Millennials and gen Z coll It, we actually looked

493
00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:13,160
Speaker 2: into going to South Africa. Thereby, I did a little

494
00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:16,720
Speaker 2: research on the government there. This is a radically Marxist

495
00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:21,120
Speaker 2: extraordinarily far left, horrific, horrific regime currently empowered there. They

496
00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:24,720
Speaker 2: are the ones currently leading the genocide charge incidentally against

497
00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:28,320
Speaker 2: Israel in the ICJ and the ICC. We have this

498
00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:32,760
Speaker 2: horrifically racist policy. They're outright Marxism stripping private property there.

499
00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:36,400
Speaker 2: It's horrific. And anyone, frankly, who defends this current government

500
00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:38,320
Speaker 2: South Africa, it says a lot more about them than

501
00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:40,040
Speaker 2: it says about anything else. But ultimately read it the

502
00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:43,840
Speaker 2: American left, they see every single issue through one prison

503
00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:45,360
Speaker 2: in one prism only, and that is race.

504
00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:50,760
Speaker 3: Well, they are all near Marxist really, because what she

505
00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:53,000
Speaker 3: said there, if you listen to the full clib, she

506
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:55,520
Speaker 3: was applauding South Africa. She was saying that've had the

507
00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:58,760
Speaker 3: reckoning that America hasn't had yet, as if it's something

508
00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:02,400
Speaker 3: to look forward to. And yes, sadly, South Africa is

509
00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:04,840
Speaker 3: going down the path of Zimbabwe. You can see that

510
00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:09,000
Speaker 3: happening very clearly. Now, let's talk about Joe Biden and

511
00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:13,600
Speaker 3: the sad news that he's battling advanced cancer. Josh, I

512
00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:16,280
Speaker 3: want to play you this clip from two years ago

513
00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:20,000
Speaker 3: when on stage Biden said he had cancer. He even

514
00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:23,400
Speaker 3: explained why he thought he had cancer. But then we

515
00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:25,800
Speaker 3: were told on I know, this was just a gaff.

516
00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:30,200
Speaker 12: And because it was a four lane highway that was accessible,

517
00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:33,840
Speaker 12: my mother drove us and rather than us be able

518
00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:38,160
Speaker 12: to walk and guess what the first frost, you knew

519
00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:41,040
Speaker 12: what was happening. It how to put on your windshield

520
00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:43,800
Speaker 12: wapers to get literally the oil slick off the window.

521
00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:46,600
Speaker 12: That's why I had so damn many other people I

522
00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:50,120
Speaker 12: grew up have cancer. And why camp For the longest time,

523
00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:52,680
Speaker 12: Delaware had the highest cancer rate in the nation.

524
00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:58,840
Speaker 3: That doesn't sound like a gaff or a starter, Josh No.

525
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:01,600
Speaker 2: And look, you know the crazy thing, Rida. There's a

526
00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:03,680
Speaker 2: new book out this week, this book called Original Sin

527
00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:06,720
Speaker 2: Right by Jake Tapper of CNN and Alex Thompson of Axios,

528
00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:09,640
Speaker 2: and it's making all the headlines there. It's generating all

529
00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:11,480
Speaker 2: the attention here in the United States this week is

530
00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:14,520
Speaker 2: focused on this one book by Tapper and Thompson. Then,

531
00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:17,320
Speaker 2: of course they're making themselves out to be the innocent

532
00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:19,880
Speaker 2: victims in the fourth Estate there in the media, as

533
00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:21,800
Speaker 2: if they were duped by the Biden White House there.

534
00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:24,320
Speaker 2: They obviously were completely in on the game from the

535
00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:26,680
Speaker 2: get go there. But the crazy thing is that these

536
00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:29,440
Speaker 2: same people, the same people RITA that just pulled a

537
00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:33,840
Speaker 2: Soviet level information operation to gaslight the American people for

538
00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:37,200
Speaker 2: the past five years about Joe Biden's mental and physical decline,

539
00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:41,360
Speaker 2: both people inside the administration and their mouthpiece media propagandists

540
00:32:41,360 --> 00:32:43,960
Speaker 2: on the outside, the Pravda like Jake Tapper before he

541
00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:47,400
Speaker 2: conveniently flipped one hundred eight degrees there, the same people

542
00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:49,760
Speaker 2: who gas led us for the past four years are

543
00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:52,440
Speaker 2: now going to say that those of us who have

544
00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:55,640
Speaker 2: the hootspot, who have the gall to ask whether or

545
00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:58,240
Speaker 2: not there was a similar cover up about Joe Biden's

546
00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:01,960
Speaker 2: medical condition he cancer diagnosed. There, they're about to say

547
00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:04,120
Speaker 2: the word that were horrible people all over and oh,

548
00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:06,800
Speaker 2: don't worry us, you know, Oh yeah, maybe maybe maybe

549
00:33:06,880 --> 00:33:08,880
Speaker 2: we kind of buried a few stories there about the

550
00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:11,720
Speaker 2: president's kind of his cognitive decline there. But don't you

551
00:33:11,840 --> 00:33:13,720
Speaker 2: dare ask but whether or not we actually hid his

552
00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:16,800
Speaker 2: cancer diagnosis there? But look, I mean that click kind

553
00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:17,960
Speaker 2: of speaks for itself, wasn't it.

554
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:18,120
Speaker 1: There.

555
00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:19,719
Speaker 2: I mean, that's not a gaff reader. That is a

556
00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:22,000
Speaker 2: man just saying the truth in the open there. You

557
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:24,760
Speaker 2: know funny. I find it awfully convenient that this news

558
00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:27,400
Speaker 2: about this prostate cancer is coming out right now. As

559
00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:29,920
Speaker 2: I said the very week of this original sin book

560
00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:32,280
Speaker 2: by Jay Tapper, Now Thompson, I'm not buying it. Something

561
00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:32,960
Speaker 2: here is up.

562
00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:38,120
Speaker 3: And it's coming. A week or so after that appearance

563
00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:42,560
Speaker 3: on The View where Joe Biden with Jill Biden had

564
00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:46,520
Speaker 3: an extended interview. Again, it was disastrous. It didn't go

565
00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:50,640
Speaker 3: as they planned. It just reinforced what we all thought

566
00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:54,560
Speaker 3: about his cognitive decline, and this seems to be the

567
00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:58,640
Speaker 3: counter to it. It's terribly sad, but this is the

568
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:02,120
Speaker 3: level of mistrust that's in that administration now and in

569
00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:06,080
Speaker 3: the mainstream media that the questions being asked about and

570
00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:10,640
Speaker 3: when they learned about this diagnosis. Now, President Trump's had

571
00:34:10,640 --> 00:34:13,920
Speaker 3: a history making Middle East a troupe. An example of

572
00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:19,120
Speaker 3: his peace through strength strategy, he acknowledged Josh Josh that

573
00:34:19,239 --> 00:34:22,440
Speaker 3: the US hasn't always been a force of good in

574
00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:22,960
Speaker 3: the region.

575
00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:26,800
Speaker 11: Before our eyes, a new generation of leaders is transcending

576
00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:30,799
Speaker 11: the ancient conflicts of tired divisions of the past and

577
00:34:30,840 --> 00:34:34,759
Speaker 11: forging a future where the Middle East is defined by commerce,

578
00:34:34,880 --> 00:34:39,839
Speaker 11: not chaos where it exports technology, not terrorism, and where

579
00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:44,640
Speaker 11: people of different nations, religions, and creeds are building cities together,

580
00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:49,200
Speaker 11: not bombing each other out of existence. In the end,

581
00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:53,160
Speaker 11: the so called nation builders wrecked far more nations than

582
00:34:53,200 --> 00:34:59,520
Speaker 11: they built, and the interventionalists were intervening in complex societies

583
00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:03,239
Speaker 11: that they did not even understand themselves. They told you

584
00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:05,359
Speaker 11: how to do it, but they had no idea how

585
00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:06,680
Speaker 11: to do it themselves.

586
00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:11,080
Speaker 3: Josh, this is a dramatically different approach from what we've

587
00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:14,400
Speaker 3: seen in the past, is the rejection of the neo

588
00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:18,759
Speaker 3: kon warhawk interventionists. How did you say that, trip.

589
00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:23,040
Speaker 2: Well, that speech specifically was a fantastic speech. I watched

590
00:35:23,040 --> 00:35:24,800
Speaker 2: the whole thing. Actually, he gave that speech in Riad,

591
00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:27,799
Speaker 2: Saudi Arabia, he spoke at this US Saudi conference. So

592
00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:30,840
Speaker 2: he's done Yeomen's work to already pull back Saudi Arabia

593
00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:33,520
Speaker 2: and the Unit of Arab Emirates from falling prey into

594
00:35:33,600 --> 00:35:36,000
Speaker 2: the Chinese sphere of influence. There, China had done a

595
00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:39,280
Speaker 2: lot of outreach via its belt and wrote initiative into

596
00:35:39,320 --> 00:35:42,080
Speaker 2: the Arabian Peninsula during the Biden administration. Because the Bid

597
00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:45,280
Speaker 2: administration was Molly coddling the Iranian regime and the Arabs

598
00:35:45,280 --> 00:35:47,440
Speaker 2: basically then all went to China. So Donald Trump, I

599
00:35:47,480 --> 00:35:49,719
Speaker 2: think deserves three cheers for what he did with the

600
00:35:49,760 --> 00:35:52,120
Speaker 2: Saudis and the Murdies. Now read I will be cannid

601
00:35:52,120 --> 00:35:54,840
Speaker 2: with you. I am a bit concerned about the Qatari

602
00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:56,759
Speaker 2: piece of the puzzle. Their Qatar is a much more

603
00:35:56,800 --> 00:36:00,640
Speaker 2: complicated country than Saudi Arabia, and the UAE has been

604
00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:03,920
Speaker 2: a financier of Hamas, the Muslim Brotherhood, even Al Qaeda

605
00:36:03,960 --> 00:36:06,479
Speaker 2: and I the times in the past there, so I'm

606
00:36:06,520 --> 00:36:09,479
Speaker 2: not necessarily in love with Qatar being a whole part

607
00:36:09,719 --> 00:36:11,960
Speaker 2: of this American romance in the Middle East. There, I view

608
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:14,799
Speaker 2: Kutar quite differently actually than the Saudis the Marats, which

609
00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:17,479
Speaker 2: are non Islamist Arab states there. I'm also a little

610
00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:19,760
Speaker 2: bit concerned about the potential direction of the Iran nuclear

611
00:36:19,840 --> 00:36:22,080
Speaker 2: talks there. But ultimately everything that Donald Trump is saying

612
00:36:22,080 --> 00:36:24,200
Speaker 2: on the Iran issue was actually very good. So as

613
00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:25,560
Speaker 2: long as he as long as what as long as

614
00:36:25,560 --> 00:36:27,520
Speaker 2: he says what he means, and he means what he says,

615
00:36:27,520 --> 00:36:28,840
Speaker 2: and I think everything's going to be okay.

616
00:36:31,239 --> 00:36:34,120
Speaker 3: Well it seems to be there also not just to

617
00:36:35,440 --> 00:36:39,000
Speaker 3: try to bring about peace, but also to do business deals.

618
00:36:39,040 --> 00:36:42,600
Speaker 3: He signed deals worth around six hundred billion with the

619
00:36:42,640 --> 00:36:46,839
Speaker 3: Saudis alone. And as a construction guy, he was very

620
00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:49,719
Speaker 3: impressed with the marble work in the region and did

621
00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:51,839
Speaker 3: job you've done a second and then you look at

622
00:36:51,840 --> 00:36:52,960
Speaker 3: this is so beautiful.

623
00:36:53,600 --> 00:36:57,040
Speaker 11: As a construction person, I'm seeing perfect marble.

624
00:36:57,680 --> 00:37:00,240
Speaker 6: This is what they call perfect.

625
00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:03,440
Speaker 4: And just a great job you've done it.

626
00:37:03,920 --> 00:37:07,800
Speaker 3: Yes, the marble work there, Josh, is something to be hold. Meanwhile,

627
00:37:07,840 --> 00:37:11,440
Speaker 3: the Democrats have the likes of Tim Walls, the failed

628
00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:17,560
Speaker 3: VP candidate setting the agenda. He's called immigration officials a

629
00:37:17,680 --> 00:37:19,239
Speaker 3: modern day gestapo.

630
00:37:19,719 --> 00:37:24,520
Speaker 14: Donald Trump's modern daescapo is scooping folks up off the streets.

631
00:37:24,640 --> 00:37:27,719
Speaker 14: They're in unmarked vans, wearing masks, being shipped off to

632
00:37:27,800 --> 00:37:31,719
Speaker 14: foreign torture dungeons. No chance to mountor defense, not even

633
00:37:31,760 --> 00:37:33,759
Speaker 14: a chance to kiss the loved one and goodbye, just

634
00:37:33,880 --> 00:37:37,440
Speaker 14: grabbed up by massed agents, shoved into those vans and disappeared.

635
00:37:37,719 --> 00:37:41,239
Speaker 3: Josh, Is this the future of the Democrats? Is this

636
00:37:41,320 --> 00:37:44,000
Speaker 3: what they are going to take to the twenty eight election?

637
00:37:45,800 --> 00:37:47,719
Speaker 2: You know, it's as if nothing has changed, isn't it.

638
00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:49,799
Speaker 2: I mean, this is a that what the Democrats were

639
00:37:49,840 --> 00:37:52,319
Speaker 2: saying during the first Tump administration. I mean, I mean,

640
00:37:52,320 --> 00:37:54,960
Speaker 2: AOC becomes a congresswoman from New York City in the

641
00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:58,200
Speaker 2: twenty eighteen midterm election. In her first year in Congress.

642
00:37:58,200 --> 00:38:01,080
Speaker 2: In twenty nineteen, I vividly recall her comparing the ICE

643
00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:05,200
Speaker 2: detention facilities to Nazis concentration camp. So here we are

644
00:38:05,280 --> 00:38:07,200
Speaker 2: six years later, and now Tim Walls is making the

645
00:38:07,239 --> 00:38:09,560
Speaker 2: exact same analogies. I mean, I mean, this is so

646
00:38:09,640 --> 00:38:12,759
Speaker 2: disgusting that that I barely feel like it even has

647
00:38:12,800 --> 00:38:14,520
Speaker 2: to be commented on. But on the one hand, I

648
00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:17,879
Speaker 2: mean just so utterly appalling, obviously, I mean to make

649
00:38:17,920 --> 00:38:20,000
Speaker 2: these sorts of analogies there. I mean, these people that

650
00:38:20,719 --> 00:38:24,160
Speaker 2: are being interrogated and by the way, they're given habeas corpus,

651
00:38:24,200 --> 00:38:26,360
Speaker 2: they're giving due process. You know, contrary to what you

652
00:38:26,440 --> 00:38:28,920
Speaker 2: hear in the corporate media. To hear, these people that

653
00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:31,719
Speaker 2: are being seized by ICE are not US citizens. They

654
00:38:31,719 --> 00:38:34,880
Speaker 2: are in the country illegally. They are not on illegal visa.

655
00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:37,239
Speaker 2: They are here illegally. They're the Jews who are round

656
00:38:37,280 --> 00:38:39,960
Speaker 2: them up. By the gestapos were citizens of their country.

657
00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:42,399
Speaker 2: They had done literally nothing wrong other than the mere

658
00:38:42,440 --> 00:38:43,960
Speaker 2: fact that they were Jewish, or this is just such

659
00:38:43,960 --> 00:38:47,960
Speaker 2: an appalling, just as a loathsome disgusting analogy any way

660
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:49,920
Speaker 2: you can possibly draw it there. But I think the

661
00:38:49,960 --> 00:38:53,759
Speaker 2: more important point is they've learned absolutely freaking nothing. They

662
00:38:53,800 --> 00:38:57,279
Speaker 2: got shlacked in this presidential election rida, and look at them.

663
00:38:57,400 --> 00:38:58,520
Speaker 3: They don't know what to do.

664
00:38:58,520 --> 00:39:00,839
Speaker 2: They're running around like a bunch of with their heads

665
00:39:00,840 --> 00:39:01,239
Speaker 2: cut off.

666
00:39:01,239 --> 00:39:01,479
Speaker 6: There.

667
00:39:01,760 --> 00:39:03,360
Speaker 2: I'm just happy that I'm not the one point to

668
00:39:03,360 --> 00:39:05,840
Speaker 2: sort it out, because, frankly, if I were a Democratic strategist,

669
00:39:05,840 --> 00:39:07,839
Speaker 2: if I were a Jimmy Carvell, I don't even know

670
00:39:07,840 --> 00:39:09,480
Speaker 2: what I would be thinking when I see crap like

671
00:39:09,520 --> 00:39:11,359
Speaker 2: this there. I mean, how do you rectify this? These

672
00:39:11,360 --> 00:39:13,359
Speaker 2: people have to just go away and hide their heads

673
00:39:13,360 --> 00:39:15,120
Speaker 2: in a paper bag for the rest of attorney. That's

674
00:39:15,120 --> 00:39:17,960
Speaker 2: probably their only decent chance to get back to sanity

675
00:39:17,960 --> 00:39:18,439
Speaker 2: at this point.

676
00:39:20,640 --> 00:39:23,239
Speaker 3: I tell you, if you're JD. Vance and you're watching that,

677
00:39:23,480 --> 00:39:25,399
Speaker 3: you would have a smile on your face because it's

678
00:39:25,480 --> 00:39:27,200
Speaker 3: just going to walk it in. It's going to be

679
00:39:27,239 --> 00:39:29,919
Speaker 3: a bit of a cakewalk if they don't improve their game.

680
00:39:29,960 --> 00:39:33,000
Speaker 3: The Democrats are before you go tell me about this

681
00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:37,360
Speaker 3: Supreme Court decision, the justices ruled seven to It was

682
00:39:37,400 --> 00:39:42,320
Speaker 3: a split decision, seven to temporarily block the Trump administration's

683
00:39:42,320 --> 00:39:46,400
Speaker 3: efforts to deport Venezuelan gang members who are in the

684
00:39:46,440 --> 00:39:51,280
Speaker 3: country illegally. The decision was largely over a technical issue

685
00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:53,440
Speaker 3: Josh Right.

686
00:39:53,520 --> 00:39:55,960
Speaker 2: So it's not quite any substantive ruling as to the

687
00:39:56,600 --> 00:39:59,959
Speaker 2: statutory interpretation of this seventeen ninety eight statue. The yelling

688
00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:02,000
Speaker 2: enemies that there having said that Rita that the fact

689
00:40:02,040 --> 00:40:04,600
Speaker 2: that it was the seven to two decision is nonetheless

690
00:40:04,600 --> 00:40:07,000
Speaker 2: indicative there. So we've seen a handful of these seven

691
00:40:07,040 --> 00:40:09,400
Speaker 2: two decisions there. It always ends up being Justices Clarence

692
00:40:09,480 --> 00:40:11,600
Speaker 2: Thomas and Sam Alito. They are by far the most

693
00:40:11,680 --> 00:40:16,560
Speaker 2: two conservative, the most two constitutionalist originalist justice there. You know, Unfortunately,

694
00:40:16,600 --> 00:40:19,600
Speaker 2: all three of Donald Trump's nominees Ammy Cony, Barrett Breck Havanaugh,

695
00:40:19,840 --> 00:40:23,560
Speaker 2: and Neil Gorsich. They're better, for sure than John Roberts,

696
00:40:23,600 --> 00:40:25,120
Speaker 2: but they are not nearly as good as Sam a

697
00:40:25,200 --> 00:40:27,880
Speaker 2: Leader or Clarence Thomas. And if a scotis vacancy or

698
00:40:27,960 --> 00:40:30,239
Speaker 2: God willing, more than one opens up in these four years.

699
00:40:30,280 --> 00:40:32,560
Speaker 2: While Trump as president of RITA, Conservatives are going to

700
00:40:32,640 --> 00:40:33,759
Speaker 2: have to do a lot better than we did the

701
00:40:33,840 --> 00:40:36,920
Speaker 2: last time there because these are really, really, really precious vacancies.

702
00:40:36,960 --> 00:40:38,879
Speaker 2: We can we simply cannot afford to mess it up.

703
00:40:41,239 --> 00:40:45,320
Speaker 3: I think that will be amongst Donald Trump's worst mistakes

704
00:40:45,320 --> 00:40:50,920
Speaker 3: in his first administration, because he could have really secured

705
00:40:50,960 --> 00:40:54,840
Speaker 3: the Supreme Court, and then the candidates he peaked, whoever

706
00:40:54,880 --> 00:40:57,919
Speaker 3: advised him, they haven't worked out as planned. Josh Hamma,

707
00:40:57,960 --> 00:40:59,280
Speaker 3: thank you so much for your time tonight.

708
00:41:00,120 --> 00:41:00,400
Speaker 8: Thank you.

709
00:41:00,440 --> 00:41:05,600
Speaker 3: Min still to come, Megan Markle's popularity plummets to a

710
00:41:05,840 --> 00:41:16,040
Speaker 3: new low. Kinsey Schofield has the latest welcome back. Joining

711
00:41:16,080 --> 00:41:20,680
Speaker 3: me now is celebrity and royal commentator Kinsey Schofield. Kinsey

712
00:41:20,719 --> 00:41:24,879
Speaker 3: will start with Barack Obama's daughter Malia, who has been

713
00:41:24,920 --> 00:41:28,799
Speaker 3: accused of plagiarism by an independent filmmaker who premiered her

714
00:41:28,840 --> 00:41:29,960
Speaker 3: film at sun Dance.

715
00:41:30,600 --> 00:41:30,799
Speaker 6: Now.

716
00:41:30,840 --> 00:41:34,680
Speaker 3: She says that a recent Nike commercial directed by Malia

717
00:41:35,440 --> 00:41:39,359
Speaker 3: is shockingly similar to her work. What do you make

718
00:41:39,360 --> 00:41:40,760
Speaker 3: of these allegations, Kinsey?

719
00:41:41,640 --> 00:41:45,759
Speaker 15: Well, and Malia was at Sundance, this particular Sundance where

720
00:41:45,840 --> 00:41:48,560
Speaker 15: this short film premiered. I don't you know, I think

721
00:41:48,640 --> 00:41:51,399
Speaker 15: children and famous parents are thrust into the spotlight, whether

722
00:41:51,440 --> 00:41:54,520
Speaker 15: they like it or not, and that visibility comes with

723
00:41:54,640 --> 00:42:00,839
Speaker 15: massive amounts of pressure. But with the constant they need

724
00:42:00,880 --> 00:42:04,280
Speaker 15: to be more mindful of everything, whether it's what they're wearing,

725
00:42:04,320 --> 00:42:06,719
Speaker 15: what they're saying, what they're doing. The margin of a

726
00:42:07,040 --> 00:42:09,920
Speaker 15: four error is so much smaller when the whole world

727
00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:13,400
Speaker 15: is watching, and I think they look a lot alike.

728
00:42:13,440 --> 00:42:14,560
Speaker 15: I'm not gonna lie to you, reader.

729
00:42:17,239 --> 00:42:19,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, we played a little bit of its side by side,

730
00:42:19,760 --> 00:42:22,440
Speaker 3: and from those clips they look familiar. But I haven't

731
00:42:22,440 --> 00:42:27,520
Speaker 3: watched the full short film that is in question here. Now,

732
00:42:27,600 --> 00:42:31,239
Speaker 3: let's move along to Donald Trump hitting back at Bruce Springsteen.

733
00:42:31,320 --> 00:42:34,279
Speaker 3: After the rock singer took to the stage in Manchester

734
00:42:35,040 --> 00:42:37,920
Speaker 3: and in front of a fairly disinterested audience, it seemed

735
00:42:37,960 --> 00:42:42,040
Speaker 3: he unleashed this tirade in.

736
00:42:43,480 --> 00:42:44,200
Speaker 12: The America.

737
00:42:44,440 --> 00:42:50,960
Speaker 10: I love the America has been making of whole liberty

738
00:42:51,040 --> 00:42:53,960
Speaker 10: for two hundred and fifty years, is currently in the

739
00:42:54,200 --> 00:42:56,760
Speaker 10: end of a prolatively.

740
00:42:56,320 --> 00:43:04,719
Speaker 3: Competent Donald Trump has hit back at Bruce Springsteen. He

741
00:43:04,840 --> 00:43:12,319
Speaker 3: has posted quite an attack back, calling Springsteen as dumb

742
00:43:12,320 --> 00:43:15,319
Speaker 3: as a rock and a dried app prune of a roka,

743
00:43:15,560 --> 00:43:20,240
Speaker 3: amongst other things. This feud is pretty interesting, Kinsey.

744
00:43:20,760 --> 00:43:23,680
Speaker 15: It isn't you know? Financially people are struggling, and if

745
00:43:23,719 --> 00:43:27,279
Speaker 15: I'm paying five hundred pounds for Springsteen, the only thing

746
00:43:27,320 --> 00:43:29,759
Speaker 15: I want to hear is Born to Run. We get

747
00:43:29,800 --> 00:43:34,080
Speaker 15: people's political opinions on Twitter and X for free all day,

748
00:43:34,200 --> 00:43:37,560
Speaker 15: every day. The edginus associated with being an artist with

749
00:43:37,640 --> 00:43:40,960
Speaker 15: a political opinion is totally gone. It's you know, it

750
00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:43,319
Speaker 15: no longer makes you special. Just do your job or

751
00:43:43,320 --> 00:43:44,160
Speaker 15: I want a refund.

752
00:43:46,280 --> 00:43:48,919
Speaker 3: And you know what you think they would learn? Springsteen

753
00:43:49,120 --> 00:43:53,200
Speaker 3: was so active during the election campaign, even performed for

754
00:43:53,360 --> 00:43:57,040
Speaker 3: Kamala Harris at her rallies, and we saw the result.

755
00:43:57,320 --> 00:44:00,799
Speaker 3: It was a comprehensive loss. Lost every sweet state, lost

756
00:44:00,800 --> 00:44:03,840
Speaker 3: the popular vote, lost the electoral College by quite a margin.

757
00:44:04,360 --> 00:44:06,719
Speaker 3: You think you just stick to his knitting rather than

758
00:44:08,120 --> 00:44:13,319
Speaker 3: boring people with these ridiculous lectures. Meghan Markle, now we

759
00:44:13,360 --> 00:44:16,480
Speaker 3: do love her, but that love seems to be not

760
00:44:16,640 --> 00:44:21,520
Speaker 3: widespread because there's fresh Ugov polling showing that Megan Markle's

761
00:44:21,680 --> 00:44:26,120
Speaker 3: fan base has reached a new load. She's got a

762
00:44:26,160 --> 00:44:29,840
Speaker 3: favorability rating of just twenty percent, Kinsy. This is the

763
00:44:29,960 --> 00:44:31,160
Speaker 3: lowest on record.

764
00:44:32,120 --> 00:44:35,520
Speaker 15: What an awful anniversary, geft Rita. It's her wedding anniversary.

765
00:44:35,960 --> 00:44:38,759
Speaker 15: You know, she's been so relentless lately trying to sell

766
00:44:38,840 --> 00:44:41,279
Speaker 15: us the new and improved version of herself, and.

767
00:44:41,600 --> 00:44:42,480
Speaker 3: People don't want it.

768
00:44:42,520 --> 00:44:44,920
Speaker 15: You know, they've realized that the person that they led

769
00:44:44,960 --> 00:44:48,000
Speaker 15: in the beginning, except for you because you saw it immediately,

770
00:44:48,520 --> 00:44:52,120
Speaker 15: didn't really exist. So they have no emotional attachment to

771
00:44:52,160 --> 00:44:54,720
Speaker 15: this woman in the way that they might still feel

772
00:44:54,719 --> 00:44:57,520
Speaker 15: connected to Prince Harry. They're just like, we don't need you,

773
00:44:57,560 --> 00:44:59,279
Speaker 15: we don't want you, we don't really know you, and

774
00:44:59,560 --> 00:45:00,600
Speaker 15: we have no interest in you.

775
00:45:02,920 --> 00:45:04,879
Speaker 3: Well, it is a bit like that. The more we

776
00:45:05,000 --> 00:45:09,600
Speaker 3: see of her, the more inauthentic and boring she's. I mean,

777
00:45:09,640 --> 00:45:13,880
Speaker 3: I think that's the most revealing thing. She's not that interesting,

778
00:45:14,680 --> 00:45:18,560
Speaker 3: which could be why she's roping in controversial model and

779
00:45:18,640 --> 00:45:23,040
Speaker 3: TV host Chrissy Tagan to feature in the second season

780
00:45:23,160 --> 00:45:26,400
Speaker 3: of Meghan Mikael's cooking show with Love Meghan, Tell Me

781
00:45:26,400 --> 00:45:27,080
Speaker 3: About This.

782
00:45:28,000 --> 00:45:30,560
Speaker 15: Now Here's what Kills Me. Reader Meghan Markle has built

783
00:45:30,640 --> 00:45:33,600
Speaker 15: much of her public image around speaking out against online

784
00:45:33,640 --> 00:45:38,600
Speaker 15: abuse and cyberbullying, frequently referencing her own experiences to support

785
00:45:38,640 --> 00:45:42,200
Speaker 15: her advocacy. That's what makes her connection to Christy Tagan

786
00:45:42,440 --> 00:45:46,840
Speaker 15: so questionable. Tagan has openly admitted to harassing and urging

787
00:45:46,880 --> 00:45:50,880
Speaker 15: a teenage girl, Courtney Stadden, to harm herself. Meghan can't

788
00:45:50,920 --> 00:45:55,520
Speaker 15: play both sides. Can't campaign against digital cruelty while embracing

789
00:45:55,560 --> 00:45:58,440
Speaker 15: someone who once embodied it. It sends the message that

790
00:45:58,480 --> 00:46:02,440
Speaker 15: cyberbullying is own worth fighting against when it happens to

791
00:46:02,560 --> 00:46:03,840
Speaker 15: you or fits your narrative.

792
00:46:06,080 --> 00:46:10,719
Speaker 3: And again, not just the ugly online behavior from Chrisytigue

793
00:46:10,719 --> 00:46:14,040
Speaker 3: and some of the things she has said over the years,

794
00:46:14,320 --> 00:46:19,200
Speaker 3: some of the political positions she's taken a really polarizing,

795
00:46:19,280 --> 00:46:22,520
Speaker 3: divisive figure. So for again for Megan to cozy up

796
00:46:22,560 --> 00:46:24,600
Speaker 3: to her, but I think she's just desperate for any

797
00:46:25,080 --> 00:46:28,440
Speaker 3: star power. Any celebrity who's willing to participate in this

798
00:46:28,560 --> 00:46:33,279
Speaker 3: mess will be welcomed with open arms. Now to an

799
00:46:33,360 --> 00:46:38,680
Speaker 3: independent ordered conducted by Price Waterhouse Coopers, and it found

800
00:46:38,760 --> 00:46:42,800
Speaker 3: Kinsey that Justin Bieber still owes his former manager, Scooter

801
00:46:42,960 --> 00:46:47,560
Speaker 3: Braun more than eight point eight million US, despite the

802
00:46:47,600 --> 00:46:51,000
Speaker 3: fact that they parted ways some two years ago.

803
00:46:52,400 --> 00:46:54,920
Speaker 15: Yeah, so we talk a lot on here about what

804
00:46:54,960 --> 00:46:57,279
Speaker 15: we think is going on with Justin Bieber, and a

805
00:46:57,320 --> 00:47:00,880
Speaker 15: part of me wonders if this could be a little

806
00:47:00,880 --> 00:47:02,960
Speaker 15: bit of the issue. I mean, money issues can lead

807
00:47:03,000 --> 00:47:06,960
Speaker 15: to irrational behavior. Financial stress. It can trigger fear, anxiety,

808
00:47:07,520 --> 00:47:09,960
Speaker 15: and when people feel overwhelmed or out of control with

809
00:47:10,000 --> 00:47:13,680
Speaker 15: their finances, they can make impulsive and emotional decisions, whether

810
00:47:13,719 --> 00:47:16,880
Speaker 15: it's lashing out, which we've seen him yelling at paparazzi lately,

811
00:47:17,640 --> 00:47:21,759
Speaker 15: making reckless purchases. I mean, the huge party he threw

812
00:47:21,800 --> 00:47:26,160
Speaker 15: at Coachella had to be incredibly expensive. Blaming others, you know,

813
00:47:26,360 --> 00:47:28,600
Speaker 15: it doesn't give Justin an excuse for some of his

814
00:47:28,719 --> 00:47:30,759
Speaker 15: recent behavior, but it might give us a little bit

815
00:47:30,760 --> 00:47:33,280
Speaker 15: more insight into what's been going on behind the scenes.

816
00:47:35,840 --> 00:47:39,840
Speaker 3: Now, before you go, Katie Perry is no longer welcome

817
00:47:39,920 --> 00:47:44,120
Speaker 3: at Vegas. This reports that they're not keen for her

818
00:47:44,200 --> 00:47:47,799
Speaker 3: to continue her residency there. I can't imagine. Why have

819
00:47:47,840 --> 00:48:05,600
Speaker 3: a look at this Kinsey. I'd pay top dollar to

820
00:48:05,640 --> 00:48:07,279
Speaker 3: see dance moves like that, wouldn't you.

821
00:48:08,080 --> 00:48:10,320
Speaker 15: Oh my gosh, you know, with all of the talent,

822
00:48:10,440 --> 00:48:12,880
Speaker 15: the true talent that's in Vegas. No, the return on

823
00:48:13,000 --> 00:48:16,719
Speaker 15: investment was not there for this casino, this hotel, and

824
00:48:16,800 --> 00:48:19,719
Speaker 15: that Las Vegas residency that she just wrapped. You know,

825
00:48:19,880 --> 00:48:22,879
Speaker 15: it quite simply wasn't the monetary success that they had

826
00:48:22,960 --> 00:48:25,400
Speaker 15: needed to justify its existence.

827
00:48:28,200 --> 00:48:28,439
Speaker 1: No.

828
00:48:29,120 --> 00:48:32,759
Speaker 3: I've seen quite a few video clips, many of them

829
00:48:32,800 --> 00:48:35,319
Speaker 3: have gone viral, and I've got to say, Kinsey, all

830
00:48:35,360 --> 00:48:38,560
Speaker 3: of them are cringe worthy. There's none that you look

831
00:48:38,600 --> 00:48:41,799
Speaker 3: at and go Okay, that's what you would expect from

832
00:48:41,880 --> 00:48:44,200
Speaker 3: an A list star. Most of it is, like what

833
00:48:44,280 --> 00:48:47,719
Speaker 3: we've just showed you, pretty qringe worthy. Kinsey Schofield, thank

834
00:48:47,719 --> 00:48:50,360
Speaker 3: you so much for your time, and that's all the

835
00:48:50,440 --> 00:48:53,880
Speaker 3: time we have. I'll see you tomorrow night at eleven.

836
00:48:53,960 --> 00:48:56,440
Speaker 3: Don't go anywhere. Nears Night is up next

837
00:49:00,280 --> 00:49:00,520
Speaker 1: Six
