Speaker 2: This is the Wader Panalty Show.

3
00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:12,200
Speaker 3: Good evening and welcome to the Riata Patney Show. Coming

4
00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:16,960
Speaker 3: up tonight, Victoria's crime crisis deepened with a disturbing increase

5
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:20,479
Speaker 3: in violent home invasions. Dan Wild will be here to

6
00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:25,200
Speaker 3: discuss that and the day's top headlines. Transactors cause mayhem

7
00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:28,480
Speaker 3: in Melbourne again clashing with police and trying to silence

8
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:30,200
Speaker 3: women's rights protesters.

9
00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:32,320
Speaker 1: Rachel Wong will waiting on that.

10
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:35,440
Speaker 3: The Great Josh Hammer will have the latest from the US,

11
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:39,360
Speaker 3: including James Comey's latest stunt, and later in the al

12
00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:43,800
Speaker 3: kinsisco Field will bring us royal and celebrity news and

13
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:47,280
Speaker 3: Left Is Losing It features not only Kamala but also

14
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:49,240
Speaker 3: Kamala Harris's stepdaughter.

15
00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:52,960
Speaker 4: I experienced a lot of claiming anxiety, like a lot

16
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:56,440
Speaker 4: lets do It's not funny.

17
00:00:56,960 --> 00:01:00,720
Speaker 3: For first, Victorians are increasingly on edge as the state's

18
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:05,280
Speaker 3: crime crisis continues to worsen. Violent crime is on the rise,

19
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:09,320
Speaker 3: with a one hundred and thirty percent increase in aggravated

20
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:13,280
Speaker 3: home invasions in the past ten years. We're now averaging

21
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 3: seventeen per day, seventeen aggravated home invasions a day. Let's

22
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:22,000
Speaker 3: have a look at one of these horrific incidents and

23
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:25,960
Speaker 3: a warning. The following footage is graphic and disturbing.

24
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:30,240
Speaker 5: After answering the front door, comes a scream of terror.

25
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 5: Then the first of five attackers can be seen swinging

26
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:37,920
Speaker 5: a hammer at the sixty year old victim as he

27
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:43,959
Speaker 5: cowers on the floor. A second intruder starts stabbing the man,

28
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 5: and a third wanders in with a handgun. What follows

29
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 5: is much worse, too horrific to show. Until today, we'd

30
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 5: only seen the aftermath of this animalistic attack at Gladstone

31
00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 5: Park last month and the victim, Kamal aarkubulard bloodied and

32
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:05,720
Speaker 5: bruised in hospital, but now it's clear he was lucky

33
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 5: to survive.

34
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 3: There was another horrific attack on Sunday, and aggravated home

35
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 3: invasion in the suburb of q And Melbourne that left

36
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:18,680
Speaker 3: a thirty nine year old father of two suffering eleven

37
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:22,119
Speaker 3: stab wounds as he tried to fight off a machete

38
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 3: wielding group of thugs. Let's bring in the Deputy Executive

39
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:29,040
Speaker 3: director of the Institute of Public Affairs, Dan Wild. Dan,

40
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:34,799
Speaker 3: these are horrific acts of violence. And they are becoming

41
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 3: all too common in Victoria.

42
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:39,079
Speaker 6: Well that's right.

43
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 2: They were described as animalistic and I think that's a

44
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:43,959
Speaker 2: pretty fair description of these attacks, and they are becoming

45
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 2: more frequent. And one of the reasons for this is

46
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:51,680
Speaker 2: the government here in Victoria simply is not interested in

47
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:53,799
Speaker 2: doing the things that needs to be done to get

48
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 2: violent crime down. We know what works, which is more

49
00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 2: cops on the beat and tougher penalties for those who

50
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:03,120
Speaker 2: the law. We've seen it in Queensland where it's worked,

51
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 2: where the L and P government in Queensland has invested

52
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:09,240
Speaker 2: in police, they have invested in the justice system and

53
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 2: they have got many measures of violent crime down. So yes,

54
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 2: there's always going to be crime with us, you know,

55
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:16,400
Speaker 2: sadly and tragically.

56
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:18,680
Speaker 6: But you know, the simple reality.

57
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 2: Is that crime can be brought down by a government

58
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 2: that wants to bring crime down, and the gin To

59
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 2: Allen government just does not want to do that.

60
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 3: Now, a newspoll has shown that fifty seven percent of

61
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 3: voters believe increasing or introducing new taxes is the worst

62
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 3: way for the government to balance the budget. This comes

63
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:41,840
Speaker 3: as the Productivity Commission is set to declare that carbon

64
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 3: and cash flow taxes are the most efficient ways to

65
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 3: future proof Australia's economy. At the same time, the pro

66
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 3: Productivity Commission chairwoman Daniel Wood has also worn that red

67
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 3: tape hair balls are choking economic growth and that an

68
00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 3: overhaul of the company tax structure is needed.

69
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 1: Dan, what do you make of these developments?

70
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 2: Well, you know, the Productivity Commission's got one right and

71
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 2: one wrong. They're right about the red tape and the

72
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 2: overregulation of our economy and that must be cut.

73
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 6: And we've known that for many years. I mean, we've

74
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 6: estimated that the.

75
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:19,040
Speaker 2: Cost of red tape it is about one hundred and

76
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:22,719
Speaker 2: seventy six billion every single year to the Australian economy,

77
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 2: which is about eight percent of our total GDP. But

78
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:31,039
Speaker 2: the idea that increasing taxes and implementing new taxes is

79
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 2: going to grow the economy and increase productivity is just

80
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:37,160
Speaker 2: so wrong. We don't need more taxes, we don't need

81
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 2: higher taxes. We need two things. We need our government

82
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:44,039
Speaker 2: to introduce spending restraint so that the growth of spending

83
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:46,280
Speaker 2: is lower than the growth of the economy, which means

84
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 2: that the economy can pay for the services that we have.

85
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:51,479
Speaker 2: And secondly, the economy needs to get bigger. If we

86
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 2: have a bigger economy, there'll be more revenue without having

87
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 2: to introduce new taxes or increase rates. But sadly, this

88
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:01,839
Speaker 2: so called Productivity Roundtable is not going to recommend and

89
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:05,320
Speaker 2: recommend anything that's going to get our economy going.

90
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:10,479
Speaker 3: Now, I want to play you a clip from Redbridge

91
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 3: polster and strategist cos Samaras.

92
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:16,040
Speaker 1: He explains here that eighty.

93
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:19,839
Speaker 3: Five percent of Indian Australians vote for the Labor Party

94
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:21,960
Speaker 3: or voted for Labor at the last election.

95
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:26,840
Speaker 7: Eighty five percent of the Indiandia aspria voted for the

96
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:31,240
Speaker 7: Lab Party at the last election thereabouts, varies across the country.

97
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:34,159
Speaker 8: What was the number, sorry, cause about only five percent?

98
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:39,159
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm glad he asked for clarification because that is

99
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 3: an incredible figure. Dan, If that is accurate, it has

100
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 3: huge economic and cultural consequences with this country. That is

101
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:52,800
Speaker 3: not an insignificant population in Australia.

102
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:55,720
Speaker 2: Well, that's right, you know, you've got to take these

103
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 2: figures with a grain of salt. I think Coosamaras said

104
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 2: that the Voice the No campaign for the Voice would

105
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 2: never win, So you've always got to just you know

106
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 2: set through these figures a little bit, but I suspect

107
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:06,600
Speaker 2: that was a prediction.

108
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:07,280
Speaker 9: This is.

109
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:11,719
Speaker 1: Well, that was a prediction and it was very wrong.

110
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:14,680
Speaker 3: And we know cos Samarius is as a labor man,

111
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 3: so the politics there is clear.

112
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:18,839
Speaker 1: But he said that happened.

113
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:21,600
Speaker 3: At the last election that eighty five percent I think

114
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:26,040
Speaker 3: was the figure around there voted for labor. And the

115
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:29,839
Speaker 3: Indian Australian population is close to a million people.

116
00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:35,600
Speaker 1: That is huge, and we are importing obviously enormous numbers.

117
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:40,280
Speaker 3: Our migration levels are still very high, and I don't

118
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:43,000
Speaker 3: think we've really thought through the consequences of that. If

119
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 3: those figures are.

120
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:48,719
Speaker 2: Accurate, yeah, that's right, and even if they're not spot on,

121
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:52,400
Speaker 2: they're definitely directionally true. And I think there's a couple

122
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 2: of things here when I could talk, you know, from

123
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:57,359
Speaker 2: experience as a candidate in an electorate where there were

124
00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:00,280
Speaker 2: a lot of Indian community there and the reality is

125
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 2: that they're not left wing or right wing. They're proud

126
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:05,160
Speaker 2: to be Australian, most of them. And this is something

127
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 2: that the Liberal Party needs to understand, is that whether

128
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 2: we're talking about this particular you know, migrant community or others,

129
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 2: most of them are socially conservative. Most of them voted

130
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:16,800
Speaker 2: knows exactly Parliament because they've come from They've come from

131
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 2: countries which are divided on race, and they don't want

132
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 2: to be divided on race.

133
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 6: They're proud of Australia.

134
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:22,720
Speaker 2: One of the best days of their lives is when

135
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:25,640
Speaker 2: they become an Australian citizen on Australia Day. Many of

136
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:28,720
Speaker 2: them have small businesses and they want their families to

137
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:29,440
Speaker 2: have a better life.

138
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 6: Well, that speaks to what the Liberal Party should be.

139
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 2: So the step number one is just to talk to

140
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:38,280
Speaker 2: different migrant communities about what it is that we believe in,

141
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:41,160
Speaker 2: rather than trying to be a pale imitation of the

142
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:42,920
Speaker 2: Labor Party, which just never works.

143
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 3: It's such a missed opportunity for the Liberal Party here

144
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:52,680
Speaker 3: because you're right, these migrant communities are overwhelmingly socially conservative.

145
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:54,040
Speaker 1: If the Liberal Party was just.

146
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 3: A little bit braver in fighting what it's called the

147
00:07:57,200 --> 00:08:00,760
Speaker 3: so called culture wars, it would win across a lot

148
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:01,400
Speaker 3: of these voters.

149
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 1: They're also aspirational.

150
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:08,000
Speaker 3: They want to work hard and build economic security for

151
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:12,320
Speaker 3: themselves and their families, and again that is a fertile

152
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:16,600
Speaker 3: ground for the Liberals. To bring them across to their side,

153
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:19,600
Speaker 3: but they're too scared to fight those battles. We've seen

154
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:24,200
Speaker 3: Donald Trump in America assemble an enormous coalition of ethnic voters,

155
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 3: from Asian voters to Hispanic voters, and very different story here. Now,

156
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:31,360
Speaker 3: I want to ask you about some research the Institute

157
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:35,440
Speaker 3: of Public Affairs has conducted. You've released a poll showing

158
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:38,840
Speaker 3: that seventy seven percent of Australians either agree with or

159
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 3: strongly agree with the notion that burning the Australian flag

160
00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:45,360
Speaker 3: should be against the law.

161
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:48,120
Speaker 1: What more can you tell me about this polling?

162
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 6: Yeah? Thanks, Rina.

163
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:53,280
Speaker 2: Well, we're just talking about the flag and you know,

164
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:55,280
Speaker 2: I think there's really a line in the sand moment

165
00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:57,800
Speaker 2: for the Australian community. As we've seen the desecration of

166
00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:02,760
Speaker 2: our flag by PALLASI activists and others. We've seen attempts

167
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:05,640
Speaker 2: to continue to tear down our national Day. You know,

168
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:07,400
Speaker 2: here in Melbourne they want to get rid of Captain

169
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:10,720
Speaker 2: Cook Cottage. We've got an education system that unfortunately is

170
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:13,560
Speaker 2: teaching the next generation that Australia is a bad country

171
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:17,160
Speaker 2: to be ashamed of. Australians want political leadership and they

172
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 2: want our political leaders to stand up and defend mainstream

173
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 2: Australian values which are embodied in the national flag.

174
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:24,839
Speaker 6: And you know there's some.

175
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:27,000
Speaker 2: People who say, oh, well a flag is just a

176
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 2: piece of fabric with color.

177
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:28,839
Speaker 6: Well wrong.

178
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:32,360
Speaker 2: It represents our shared values. Is the flag under which

179
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:35,600
Speaker 2: something like one hundred thousand ex servicemen and women have

180
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:39,800
Speaker 2: died fighting under. And like I say, there is deep

181
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:42,280
Speaker 2: resentment in the community that there's a.

182
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:43,640
Speaker 6: Two tiered system that we live in.

183
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:45,720
Speaker 2: I mean, can you imagine if someone was burning the

184
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:49,320
Speaker 2: Palestinian flag or the Aboriginal flag, imagine what would be

185
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:51,600
Speaker 2: done to them. But if you burn the Australian flag,

186
00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:54,360
Speaker 2: apparently there is a free pass. So you know, Australian's

187
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:56,640
Speaker 2: had a gupful of this two tiered system and they

188
00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:58,960
Speaker 2: want political leaders that will back our flag.

189
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:02,559
Speaker 3: Or there are so many on the left who are

190
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:06,679
Speaker 3: triggered by the Australian flag. If someone is waiving it proudly,

191
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:10,200
Speaker 3: they see it almost as a sign of aggression or

192
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:12,960
Speaker 3: some sort of celebration of white supremacy. It is so

193
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 3: bizarre because it's the only flag we have in this

194
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:17,320
Speaker 3: country that represents.

195
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:18,640
Speaker 1: All of us. I'd love to.

196
00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:22,480
Speaker 3: See Dan some research into how much support there is

197
00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:25,120
Speaker 3: to have just one flag instead of having the Prime

198
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:30,840
Speaker 3: Minister have three flags behind him.

199
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:32,240
Speaker 6: Well, exactly right.

200
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 2: I mean, we have done that research and the majority

201
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:38,440
Speaker 2: support the one flag, just as they support the idea

202
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:40,400
Speaker 2: that we should be seeing in the national anthem at schools,

203
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:42,760
Speaker 2: which was another question that we asked, which is a

204
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:45,040
Speaker 2: strong majority said yes, let's have one flag and sing

205
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:46,840
Speaker 2: the anthem and look not to do it in an

206
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:50,719
Speaker 2: obnoxious way or a jingoistic way, but again to unite us.

207
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:53,320
Speaker 6: Australians know that we are more.

208
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:55,640
Speaker 2: Divided today than at any time since World War Two,

209
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:58,160
Speaker 2: and that is why we need to have our shared

210
00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:01,600
Speaker 2: symbols as a central part of our civic life, because

211
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:03,040
Speaker 2: that's the only way we're going to get through.

212
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:03,800
Speaker 6: This is a country.

213
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:09,720
Speaker 3: Do you say the coalition, particularly the Liberal Party, looking

214
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:15,960
Speaker 3: at this starter, recognizing the opportunity presents and strongly backing.

215
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 1: Those positions, because there really is no.

216
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:21,480
Speaker 3: Mainstream political force in this country right now that is

217
00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:24,160
Speaker 3: saying these things. You've got one nation, I guess on

218
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:28,199
Speaker 3: one hand, but one nation is not a main player.

219
00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:31,880
Speaker 3: But you need to have either the Coalition or Labor

220
00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:36,160
Speaker 3: back these positions. Can you see that happening because we've

221
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:40,560
Speaker 3: got a great many number of Australians who don't seem

222
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:44,520
Speaker 3: to have their values represented within our political class right now.

223
00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:47,520
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's a great question.

224
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 2: At the leadership level and of the sort of party

225
00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:53,720
Speaker 2: apparachic level, they don't get it. There are individuals who

226
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:56,520
Speaker 2: do get it. Andrew Hasty has his Together under One

227
00:11:56,559 --> 00:12:00,600
Speaker 2: Flag campaign. Phil Thompson who's the Member for Herbert around Townsville,

228
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:04,040
Speaker 2: he's got an emotion he's putting into Parliament soon to

229
00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:07,680
Speaker 2: criminalize the burning of the flag. So some individuals get it,

230
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:10,200
Speaker 2: but as a structure they don't get it. They don't

231
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:13,400
Speaker 2: understand that Australians care deeply about the culture and our

232
00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:15,640
Speaker 2: way of life. Now I'm not saying that that's the

233
00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:18,240
Speaker 2: only issue that they're going to vote on, but it

234
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:20,360
Speaker 2: is a key way of opening a door to a

235
00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:23,400
Speaker 2: conversation with a whole range of voters that otherwise would

236
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:26,360
Speaker 2: not be open to the Liberal Party. They completely bottled

237
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:29,320
Speaker 2: the Voice to Parliament. They never talked about the Voice

238
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:32,360
Speaker 2: throughout the entire election campaign, the last federal election campaign.

239
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:35,480
Speaker 2: So look sadly, I don't think at the apparachic level,

240
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:37,880
Speaker 2: I just don't think they get it at that level.

241
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:39,640
Speaker 2: They dismiss it as a culture war on a side

242
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:40,880
Speaker 2: show that just don't understand it.

243
00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:45,840
Speaker 1: The Liberal Party need leadership change. I know they've just

244
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:48,280
Speaker 1: had one, but they need one if they actually want

245
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:49,040
Speaker 1: to be electable.

246
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:54,600
Speaker 3: Before you go Queensland, Lexi Brand, an occupational therapy student,

247
00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:59,120
Speaker 3: has just won Miss Universe Australia here in Perth. She's

248
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:02,199
Speaker 3: going to represent the nation at the global pageant in

249
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:05,240
Speaker 3: Thailand later in the year. Dan, I've spent a bit

250
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 3: of time with the girls, including Lexi this week. I

251
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:10,880
Speaker 3: think they're very impressive. But I have to ask you,

252
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:14,400
Speaker 3: is there a place for beauty pageants in this woke

253
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:15,280
Speaker 3: world we live in?

254
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:19,920
Speaker 6: Look? I think there is. I think it's a breath

255
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:20,600
Speaker 6: of fresh air.

256
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:23,400
Speaker 2: Good on this lady for having one that I hope

257
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:27,319
Speaker 2: she goes on and wins the world title or Miss Universe.

258
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:29,120
Speaker 2: And look, you're always going to have some of the

259
00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:32,360
Speaker 2: woke brigade that sort of criticizes it. And Look, I

260
00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:34,920
Speaker 2: think most Australians would just see this as you know,

261
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:36,200
Speaker 2: women who want to put their.

262
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:38,439
Speaker 6: Put themselves forward in this capacity.

263
00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:40,959
Speaker 2: And I know there's always you know, philanthropic components of

264
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:43,280
Speaker 2: this as well, which are always well received, so I

265
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:44,880
Speaker 2: think good on them and all the best for the

266
00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:46,240
Speaker 2: world competition.

267
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:50,600
Speaker 3: Well, the girls raise more than six hundred thousand dollars

268
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:53,439
Speaker 3: for charity, so they've certainly done good work, and Dan Wild,

269
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:56,480
Speaker 3: thank you so much for your time tonight now. Hundreds

270
00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:59,599
Speaker 3: of police officers were deployed in Melbourne, CBD over the

271
00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:04,160
Speaker 3: weekend and to stop extreme pro trans protesters from terrorizing

272
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:08,600
Speaker 3: a peaceful let Women Speak rally on Spring Street. While

273
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:12,520
Speaker 3: the women's rights protesters were listening to speeches and holding signs,

274
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:16,520
Speaker 3: the pro transactivists dressed in black and with their faces

275
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:20,920
Speaker 3: covered well. They were hurling abusive police and throwing projectiles

276
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:21,720
Speaker 3: at the officers.

277
00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:29,560
Speaker 10: Plain The only confrontation was with officers.

278
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:34,760
Speaker 1: Three police were injured in clashes with activists.

279
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:38,360
Speaker 6: Four people were arrested for assaulting police or failing to

280
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:41,280
Speaker 6: move on. Two people had flares confiscated.

281
00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:48,160
Speaker 3: Four protesters arrested, all of them from the pro trans group.

282
00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:57,680
Speaker 1: Joining me now is.

283
00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:02,800
Speaker 3: Women's Forum Australia CEO Wong Rachel. This was supposed to

284
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:06,640
Speaker 3: be a woman's rights rally, but the transactivists the counter

285
00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:10,920
Speaker 3: protesters went to some astonishing lengths to stop the women

286
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:13,840
Speaker 3: from speaking and then to stop the crowd from listening.

287
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:18,400
Speaker 11: Great, join you reader, that's right. This was a rally

288
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:21,000
Speaker 11: for women to raise legitimate concerns about the harmful impact

289
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:23,880
Speaker 11: of gender ideology on our society, especially on women's sex

290
00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:25,640
Speaker 11: based rights and the health of well and the health

291
00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:26,080
Speaker 11: and well.

292
00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:26,640
Speaker 8: Being of children.

293
00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:29,400
Speaker 11: But it has become a disturbing feature of such rallies

294
00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:32,520
Speaker 11: around the world, and especially in Melbourne. It seems that

295
00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:35,720
Speaker 11: violent men turn up to intimidate these women into silence.

296
00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:38,280
Speaker 11: And these the men who want men who claim to

297
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:40,920
Speaker 11: be women to have unfittered access to female only spaces,

298
00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:44,560
Speaker 11: services and sports. Now, thankfully the police is an excellent

299
00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:47,240
Speaker 11: job at protecting these women, but it's disgraceful that they

300
00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:50,040
Speaker 11: were attacked in the process, and it's shameful that in

301
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:53,960
Speaker 11: Australia in twenty twenty five, such a huge police presence

302
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:56,840
Speaker 11: as needed to protect women peacefully speaking about their rights.

303
00:15:57,360 --> 00:15:58,960
Speaker 1: Equally disgraceful is the lack.

304
00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:02,400
Speaker 11: Of condemnation from the victory in government, especially government. Last

305
00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:05,920
Speaker 11: week Premierison to Alan was saying that we need to

306
00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:09,600
Speaker 11: have generadiology in skills because of the need to combat

307
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:13,280
Speaker 11: violence against women. Well this is a latant example of

308
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:14,800
Speaker 11: violence being waged against women.

309
00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:16,480
Speaker 8: So where is the premier now?

310
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:19,640
Speaker 1: So very good point.

311
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:23,760
Speaker 3: She has failed to speak out against this violence. It's

312
00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:28,440
Speaker 3: women wanting to speak or are being intimidated being silenced,

313
00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:32,400
Speaker 3: and we hear nothing. And never mind the police resources,

314
00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:35,920
Speaker 3: the number of officers who were required to keep those

315
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:39,480
Speaker 3: trans protesters from the women. And if you do fear,

316
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:41,560
Speaker 3: what would have happened if they weren't there.

317
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:43,400
Speaker 1: And we've had.

318
00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:47,320
Speaker 3: Some controversial speakers come to Melbourne who've been given bills

319
00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:51,200
Speaker 3: of fifty sixty thousand dollars from the police, and yet

320
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:55,160
Speaker 3: these transactivists can cause this mayhem and the.

321
00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:56,440
Speaker 1: Taxpayer picks up the bill.

322
00:16:56,800 --> 00:16:59,880
Speaker 3: But I want to move on to transgender footballer Hannah Mount.

323
00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:03,200
Speaker 3: She's been receiving a great deal of media coverage in

324
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:06,399
Speaker 3: recent days. This is nearly a decade after being banned

325
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:10,119
Speaker 3: from playing in the afl W. Here's what Maunci told

326
00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:12,320
Speaker 3: Code Sports about that episode.

327
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:17,480
Speaker 10: The afl W is a year old. We don't want

328
00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:20,560
Speaker 10: this side show destroying it and they were worried about

329
00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:24,600
Speaker 10: the commercial viability and the commercial impact that my playing

330
00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:25,440
Speaker 10: would have and.

331
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:28,400
Speaker 11: What was the explanation to you, what did they what

332
00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:29,440
Speaker 11: was their rationale?

333
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:31,240
Speaker 10: I'm still yet to receive that.

334
00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:34,760
Speaker 3: I would have thought it was pretty obvious what the

335
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:38,440
Speaker 3: rationale was. Manci is a male identifying as a female,

336
00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:44,280
Speaker 3: so huge unfair physical advantage over the female players. And

337
00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:47,119
Speaker 3: now Mountci is fearful that he's going to be banned

338
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:50,800
Speaker 3: from representing Australia at the Los Angeles Olympics in the

339
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:53,119
Speaker 3: women's handball competition.

340
00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:56,320
Speaker 1: Rachel, if Mounts is good.

341
00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:59,919
Speaker 3: Enough, then he could play in the men's handball competition.

342
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:03,359
Speaker 1: And this victim playing is a little tone deaf.

343
00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:08,199
Speaker 3: It seems like even the activist class have finally realized

344
00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:11,320
Speaker 3: that this is an issue that they're not going to win.

345
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:15,560
Speaker 3: The overwhelming public support is with the female athletes who

346
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:16,840
Speaker 3: want to protect their sports.

347
00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:22,040
Speaker 11: One reader and I love that their AMOUNTSI called efforts

348
00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:24,280
Speaker 11: to protect women's sport the side show, as opposed to

349
00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:25,640
Speaker 11: men playing in women's.

350
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:26,359
Speaker 1: Sport the side show.

351
00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:29,280
Speaker 11: And the reality is the Maunsi is a male, and

352
00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:32,000
Speaker 11: no matter how much he reduces his tostroone levels, which

353
00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:34,119
Speaker 11: is what he claims to have done, he's always going

354
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:37,280
Speaker 11: to have an advantage over women in terms of muscle math, muscle, mass,

355
00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:41,080
Speaker 11: power and strength. And he talks about, you know, having

356
00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:43,000
Speaker 11: fears and not being able to compete in the Olympics

357
00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:43,679
Speaker 11: and not being able.

358
00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:44,760
Speaker 4: To represent Australia.

359
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:47,639
Speaker 11: But what about the safety fears and the fairness fears

360
00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:49,879
Speaker 11: that his female opponents are going to have, And what

361
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:52,399
Speaker 11: about the fears of women in Australia who are going

362
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:55,560
Speaker 11: to potentially miss out on a position to represent Australia themselves.

363
00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:56,560
Speaker 10: He's allowed to do so.

364
00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:00,800
Speaker 3: Rachel Wong, thank you so much for your time tonight,

365
00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:04,760
Speaker 3: still to come. Left is losing it Plus the latest

366
00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:10,040
Speaker 3: from the US, including James Comby, is bizarre, cringeworthy stunt

367
00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:22,879
Speaker 3: Josh Hammer is up next, Welcome back, and it's time

368
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:24,639
Speaker 3: for lefties losing it.

369
00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:26,280
Speaker 1: Let's start in the UK Wor.

370
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:30,240
Speaker 3: A man in a red dress defaces a war memorial

371
00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:33,800
Speaker 3: as crowds look on. No one tries to stop him,

372
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:38,080
Speaker 3: no one says a word. This is what civilizational decline

373
00:19:38,160 --> 00:20:05,560
Speaker 3: that looks like now talking about civilizational decline, California is

374
00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:06,840
Speaker 3: a perfect example.

375
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:11,120
Speaker 1: Blessed with every natural advantage, but riddled with crime and poverty.

376
00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:14,399
Speaker 3: And yet the governor thinks he can be president and

377
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:19,320
Speaker 3: he's spending good money producing content like this attacking Donald Trump.

378
00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:25,399
Speaker 8: Wake up, America, Wake up to what Donald Trump is doing.

379
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:29,959
Speaker 4: Here. He is once again trying to rig the system.

380
00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:32,159
Speaker 4: He doesn't believe in the rules.

381
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:37,760
Speaker 12: We can't stand back and watch this democracy disappear district

382
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:38,800
Speaker 12: by district.

383
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:41,040
Speaker 13: We have got to meet fire with fire.

384
00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:45,800
Speaker 3: The HOODSPA there is extraordinary. It's all about projection with

385
00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:49,359
Speaker 3: these Democrats. Now, let's hear from a CNN host for

386
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:53,560
Speaker 3: Reed Zacharia on Bill Maher's program, and he gives a

387
00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:56,680
Speaker 3: very important reality check for Gavin and his ilk.

388
00:20:57,600 --> 00:21:01,440
Speaker 7: This is a huge Democratic party. If you look at

389
00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:06,680
Speaker 7: Democratic cities, they are terribly run. They have incredibly high taxes.

390
00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:09,160
Speaker 7: It is impossible to build. So the cost of housing,

391
00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:11,879
Speaker 7: let me finish, let me finish av our cost of

392
00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:15,400
Speaker 7: housing is crazy in places like New York and Chicago.

393
00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:18,640
Speaker 7: If you look at Democratic states, you know, look.

394
00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:19,640
Speaker 6: You go look at.

395
00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:23,760
Speaker 7: New York versus Florida. Okay, roughly the same population. The

396
00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:27,480
Speaker 7: budget of New York State is twice that of Florida.

397
00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:30,399
Speaker 7: What do they have with streets paid with gold? I

398
00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:32,480
Speaker 7: live in New York. I pay the highest taxes in

399
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:32,840
Speaker 7: New York.

400
00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:34,160
Speaker 6: You get nothing for it.

401
00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:37,200
Speaker 7: And I think that is the image people have of

402
00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:40,959
Speaker 7: the Democratic Party. Lots of taxes, lots of regulation, but

403
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:42,280
Speaker 7: nothing gets done.

404
00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:46,639
Speaker 3: Now let's hear from Kamala Harris. She enjoys cocktails and

405
00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:50,320
Speaker 3: incoherent rants. Here she goes with the letter.

406
00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:54,439
Speaker 14: Maybe what they're doing is liuchiating liucheating there.

407
00:21:54,840 --> 00:22:01,200
Speaker 9: They want to change the current system, see bend toward

408
00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:05,240
Speaker 9: the outcome they want. And so, you know, do you

409
00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:06,360
Speaker 9: believe the public reporting.

410
00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:10,520
Speaker 14: They get a call that says, hey, redo your lines,

411
00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:13,280
Speaker 14: even though the fallout is going to include exactly what

412
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:17,240
Speaker 14: you said, which is, you know, taking the franchise the

413
00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:23,360
Speaker 14: vote away from specific communities and in the case of Texas, Latina,

414
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:24,200
Speaker 14: the black lives.

415
00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:28,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, just about everything she said there was a lie,

416
00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:31,159
Speaker 3: half lie or just confused Kamala babbel.

417
00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:34,040
Speaker 1: And it got worse as Kamala praised the.

418
00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:39,320
Speaker 3: Pitiful Texas legislators who fled the state and abandoned their duty.

419
00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:43,840
Speaker 14: And I and I have to say that, you know

420
00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:51,280
Speaker 14: those Texas, those Texan legislators, good for them.

421
00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:54,840
Speaker 3: And being an incoherent simpleton runs in the family. Here

422
00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:59,560
Speaker 3: is Kamala's stepdaughter whining about climate anxiety.

423
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:02,520
Speaker 1: It feels discussed, folks, so much discussed.

424
00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:08,199
Speaker 13: I feel discussed at what's going on in the world

425
00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:13,760
Speaker 13: around the genocides, see loss of rights, the loss of healthcare,

426
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:22,240
Speaker 13: the just general fear that everyone has surrounding affordability, their lives,

427
00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:27,560
Speaker 13: their livelihood, Like every day, it's just it feels so big.

428
00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:33,520
Speaker 4: I think everything with the environment is really be getting

429
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:39,719
Speaker 4: to me, and it is one. I experience a lot

430
00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:42,960
Speaker 4: of climate anxiety, like a lot of us do.

431
00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:48,960
Speaker 1: It's not funny, wrong, it is funny. It's hilarious.

432
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:54,560
Speaker 3: In fact, let's hear now from the thoroughly discredited James Komy.

433
00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:58,400
Speaker 3: You remember the former FBI director who played not only

434
00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:02,360
Speaker 3: in significant role in the Russian collusion hoax, who improperly

435
00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:06,600
Speaker 3: leaked information to activist journalists. The Biden DOJ declined to

436
00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:09,320
Speaker 3: charge him for that. He may not be so lucky

437
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:12,680
Speaker 3: now that he's under criminal investigation. And don't forget that

438
00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:16,520
Speaker 3: bizarre behavior where he posted a threat or a death

439
00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:21,359
Speaker 3: wish against the president. Remember that lunacy. He claims he

440
00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:24,480
Speaker 3: didn't know what it all meant. Well, now Komy has

441
00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:29,560
Speaker 3: really lost the plot, posting a lengthy video about Taylor

442
00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:31,960
Speaker 3: Swift and of course Donald.

443
00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:36,040
Speaker 15: Trump and Donald Trump is still president and still humiliating

444
00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:39,240
Speaker 15: America on a national stage standing next to Vladimir Putin.

445
00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:41,920
Speaker 15: It's like a dream, a bad dream you can't wake

446
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:44,159
Speaker 15: up from. But I don't want to talk about that

447
00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:46,080
Speaker 15: bad dream this week. I want to talk about a

448
00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:50,520
Speaker 15: truly inspirational public figure named Taylor Swift. Of course I

449
00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:54,040
Speaker 15: watched her podcast interview with the Kelsey Brothers. Of course

450
00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:57,399
Speaker 15: I watched the whole thing, although on YouTube Pateresa and

451
00:24:57,400 --> 00:24:59,399
Speaker 15: I got kicked off for the last fifteen minutes and

452
00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:03,040
Speaker 15: finished it on her phone, But I watched it. You

453
00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:06,280
Speaker 15: see Taylor Swift and I go way back. I went

454
00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:09,880
Speaker 15: to my first concert of hers fifteen years ago. I've

455
00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:13,480
Speaker 15: been to a second, and I have helped financially support

456
00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:15,639
Speaker 15: the attendance of a lot of family members at others.

457
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:18,679
Speaker 15: I'm in a family's Swifty group chat.

458
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:24,520
Speaker 3: What what what is the own about? It's the former

459
00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:27,040
Speaker 3: director of the FBI. I don't know if he's angling

460
00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:29,600
Speaker 3: for some sort of not guilty by reason.

461
00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:32,680
Speaker 1: Of insanity play? Should there be any charges.

462
00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:36,320
Speaker 3: That mad Rant went on for another five minutes, and

463
00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:40,200
Speaker 3: he's a love of Taylor Swift was just a Mainsta bash.

464
00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:44,720
Speaker 3: Donald Trump and Republicans. I'm telling you, this dude needs

465
00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:45,640
Speaker 3: professional help.

466
00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:49,160
Speaker 15: And don't get me wrong, we have our jerks, millions

467
00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:52,320
Speaker 15: of them. You may have noticed, in particular, there's a

468
00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:57,480
Speaker 15: stunning coarseness and ugliness in the Republican Party today. It's upsetting,

469
00:25:57,520 --> 00:26:01,760
Speaker 15: but it's also a minority of America on the whole.

470
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:05,040
Speaker 15: We aren't like that, and we don't like that. I

471
00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:07,000
Speaker 15: think that's a big part of the reason so few

472
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:09,920
Speaker 15: Americans support Donald Trump when they have to see him

473
00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:14,800
Speaker 15: and that up close, and why Republicans are so worried

474
00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:17,760
Speaker 15: about what's coming for them next year, which is what

475
00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:21,399
Speaker 15: makes me think about Taylor Swift. She's made clear that

476
00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:24,359
Speaker 15: she sees Donald Trump for what he is, and last

477
00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:27,520
Speaker 15: year she urged Americans not to make the serious mistake

478
00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:30,760
Speaker 15: of electing him. Of course, we're now living with the

479
00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:34,840
Speaker 15: consequences of that mistake. But while our elderly, makeup covered

480
00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:38,520
Speaker 15: president is posting about whether Taylor Swift is still hot

481
00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:42,080
Speaker 15: and declaring that he can't stand her, what's she doing

482
00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:44,160
Speaker 15: living her best life?

483
00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:50,080
Speaker 3: Yep, he's genuinely lost the plot, or perhaps angling for

484
00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:54,239
Speaker 3: that insanity play. Joining me now is Newsweek seniors are

485
00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:56,959
Speaker 3: at Large and Article three projects Citior Council.

486
00:26:57,080 --> 00:26:57,679
Speaker 1: Josh Hamma.

487
00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:01,840
Speaker 3: Josh, the former FBR director, together with the former CIA

488
00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:05,920
Speaker 3: director John Brennan, a reportedly under criminal investigation for their

489
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:10,600
Speaker 3: part in the Russian collusion hoax, including allegedly making false

490
00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:11,800
Speaker 3: statements to Congress.

491
00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:13,639
Speaker 1: How worried should he be?

492
00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:17,160
Speaker 3: He's saying Republicans are worried about what's coming next year?

493
00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:18,479
Speaker 1: Should he be worried?

494
00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:20,439
Speaker 13: You know?

495
00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:22,639
Speaker 12: Reader, First of all, it's pretty late here on the

496
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:24,520
Speaker 12: East coast of the United States, and I was planning

497
00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:27,359
Speaker 12: on just going to sleep after a conversation. After this

498
00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:30,160
Speaker 12: video that I have just seen, I am utterly terrified

499
00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:32,120
Speaker 12: the possibility that I'm going to be awake all night

500
00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:34,520
Speaker 12: due to just serial recurring nightmare. So I'm going to

501
00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:36,840
Speaker 12: have to go go in bed and find some comedy

502
00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:39,399
Speaker 12: on Netflix, just unwind and just try to forget the

503
00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:41,800
Speaker 12: horror that I just saw there. But you know, James Comy,

504
00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:44,439
Speaker 12: you know, going on and on there about how Taylor

505
00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:47,480
Speaker 12: Swift has seen President Trump up close. Well, now I've

506
00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:49,880
Speaker 12: also seen Jim Comy up close for the first time,

507
00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:52,240
Speaker 12: and god knows how long dude looks like he's aged

508
00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:54,560
Speaker 12: twenty five years over the past seven or eight years.

509
00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:56,480
Speaker 12: First of all, I don't know what he's doing in

510
00:27:56,520 --> 00:27:59,240
Speaker 12: his personal life. I don't know what's going on there,

511
00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:00,879
Speaker 12: But I mean talk about.

512
00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:02,560
Speaker 8: Just I mean, like, what was that?

513
00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:02,680
Speaker 13: Like?

514
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:04,399
Speaker 8: Literally what was I mean?

515
00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:06,400
Speaker 12: Is he literally trying out to become like the backup

516
00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:08,920
Speaker 12: drummer for the new like Taylor Swift traveling band. He's

517
00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:10,760
Speaker 12: he trying to be like the third wheel in the

518
00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:13,480
Speaker 12: Travis Kelsey Taylor Swift relationship. I mean, like, what is

519
00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:15,919
Speaker 12: his endgame here? Exactly there? But you know, if I

520
00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:18,760
Speaker 12: were Jim Comey, if I were offering unsolicited legal advice

521
00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:20,399
Speaker 12: to Jim Comy, which I would never do because I

522
00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:22,560
Speaker 12: would personally prefer to see him locked up behind bars.

523
00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:25,480
Speaker 12: But if hypothetically I were offering unsolicited legal advice to

524
00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:28,359
Speaker 12: Jim Coby, I would say, stop watching your stupid tailor

525
00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:30,840
Speaker 12: Swift crap on the internet and probably go find a

526
00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:33,439
Speaker 12: good criminal defense lawyer, dude, because you actually need it,

527
00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:36,320
Speaker 12: because you have probably lied to Congress within the five

528
00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:37,600
Speaker 12: year statute limitations.

529
00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:37,719
Speaker 13: There.

530
00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:41,280
Speaker 12: I think the Jim Comey, Clapper, Hillary Clinton, I think

531
00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:43,719
Speaker 12: all three of them are actually in serious, serious jeopardy

532
00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:46,080
Speaker 12: here when it comes to five year statute of limitations there.

533
00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:49,160
Speaker 12: I think the Pambomdi Task Force RITA is very much

534
00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:51,160
Speaker 12: on the case there. And if I were Jim Comey,

535
00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:53,280
Speaker 12: I would be very very worried he should stop with

536
00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:55,280
Speaker 12: this stupid crap. I don't know what the heck he's

537
00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:57,200
Speaker 12: trying to do here with the tailor swift thing, but frankly,

538
00:28:57,240 --> 00:29:00,360
Speaker 12: it's creepy. It's really, really, really weird there. I would

539
00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:02,000
Speaker 12: just focus on trying to avoid prison time.

540
00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:04,560
Speaker 1: Dude.

541
00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:08,160
Speaker 3: I think there need to be charges, Josh, We've spoken

542
00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:10,920
Speaker 3: about this in the past. It's all well and good

543
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:14,959
Speaker 3: to have some level of transparency and have an understanding

544
00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:19,360
Speaker 3: of how this Russian collusion hoax came about, who was involved,

545
00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:24,440
Speaker 3: who was complicit, But without some accountability, without some consequences,

546
00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:29,200
Speaker 3: what's going to be the disincentive for the Democrats not

547
00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:31,320
Speaker 3: to do this again the next time around?

548
00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:35,840
Speaker 8: Well, you're totally right, there will be no disincentive. Now.

549
00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:37,800
Speaker 8: It's tragically late as it is.

550
00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:39,480
Speaker 12: I mean, I mean, let's just be clear here, when

551
00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:41,880
Speaker 12: we're talking about Russia, gay, when we're talking about Brendan

552
00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:45,000
Speaker 12: Clapper and Comy cooking the books to launder the steel

553
00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:49,480
Speaker 12: Darcy a fusion GPS Hillary Clinic campaign through the very

554
00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:51,760
Speaker 12: tail end of you Obama in Talnge community, where we're

555
00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:54,440
Speaker 12: talking here about twenty sixteen, twenty seventeen. I mean, I mean,

556
00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:57,440
Speaker 12: we're talking here about crimes that are committed eight and

557
00:29:57,440 --> 00:29:59,240
Speaker 12: a half almost nine years.

558
00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:00,840
Speaker 8: Ago, depending on the specific conducts.

559
00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:02,719
Speaker 12: So the fact that we're even had this conversation now,

560
00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:04,720
Speaker 12: I think is frustrating in and of itself. This is

561
00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:08,320
Speaker 12: a conversation that very much should have happened, frankly during

562
00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:10,440
Speaker 12: the first Trump term. I mean, we shouldn't have been

563
00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:13,720
Speaker 12: talking about the molar probe and trying to investigate webinar

564
00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:16,240
Speaker 12: Donald Trump was actually a Manchurian can that in putting

565
00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:19,160
Speaker 12: Kremlin asset. We shouldn't talking about trying to put people

566
00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:21,800
Speaker 12: like Jim Comey and John Brenn and Jim Clapper in jail.

567
00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:23,960
Speaker 12: So the fact that we're having this conversation delayed is

568
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:27,320
Speaker 12: extremely frustrating, you know, in and of itself. The problem,

569
00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:29,320
Speaker 12: read as you and I have discussed, is that a

570
00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:33,200
Speaker 12: lot of the shall we say, flashier, sexier crimes have

571
00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:36,600
Speaker 12: statutes of limitations. There Now, again, as we discussed in

572
00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:38,760
Speaker 12: the past, there I am of the opinion there that

573
00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:41,600
Speaker 12: if I were recommending to Pambondi's dog task for us,

574
00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:45,000
Speaker 12: I think that it is well within the balance of reason,

575
00:30:45,080 --> 00:30:47,400
Speaker 12: and dare I say, even prudence to try to get

576
00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:49,600
Speaker 12: shall we say, a little creative with some of these

577
00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:52,800
Speaker 12: statute of limitations tolling the same way that Alvin Bragg

578
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:55,400
Speaker 12: was very creative to Donald Trump when it came to

579
00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:59,760
Speaker 12: the whole Stormy Daniel's Michael Cohen fraudulent bookkeeping statute. There,

580
00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:03,240
Speaker 12: I mean statut limitations for those quote unquote crimes should

581
00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:05,719
Speaker 12: have expired like five or six years was I'm there,

582
00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:07,480
Speaker 12: and they find they found some way to stick that

583
00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:09,840
Speaker 12: work and the most stolen his trial in American history there.

584
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:12,640
Speaker 12: So if there's a will, there's a way. I don't

585
00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:15,640
Speaker 12: necessarily love that I'm saying this. By the way, I'm

586
00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:17,560
Speaker 12: a lawyer. I revere the rule of law of the

587
00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:19,720
Speaker 12: Constitution there. But read to the point is I think

588
00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:21,680
Speaker 12: you and I are of like mind on this. Unless

589
00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:24,680
Speaker 12: you teach these people lesson and teach unless unless until

590
00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:27,840
Speaker 12: you really shock them across the jaw and they pay

591
00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:30,360
Speaker 12: some sort of serious price for this, They're going to

592
00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:33,160
Speaker 12: escalate and escalate and escalate until we're all in some

593
00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:34,800
Speaker 12: proverbial or literal gulag.

594
00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:36,600
Speaker 8: And I know that I personally don't want to end.

595
00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:36,880
Speaker 4: Up with that.

596
00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:42,320
Speaker 3: No, well said, Now to the Russia Ukraine War, we

597
00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:45,560
Speaker 3: saw the short of strength from the US, including that

598
00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:51,080
Speaker 3: stealth bomber flyover over Vladimir Putin's head. But overnight we've

599
00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:56,760
Speaker 3: had the Ukrainian leader a Zelenski speak out about these negotiations.

600
00:31:56,760 --> 00:32:00,200
Speaker 16: It had this to say, the constitution of you in

601
00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:05,760
Speaker 16: makes it impossible impossible to give up territory or trade land.

602
00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:10,120
Speaker 16: Since the territorial issue is so important, it should be

603
00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:14,080
Speaker 16: discussed only by the leaders of Ukraine and Russia at

604
00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:18,960
Speaker 16: the trilateral Ukraine United States Russia. So far Russia gives

605
00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:21,560
Speaker 16: no sign that trilateral will happen.

606
00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:27,440
Speaker 3: Joshi referenced the Ukrainian constitution there and called for further

607
00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:29,760
Speaker 3: economic sanctions against Russia.

608
00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:32,360
Speaker 1: How do you say the lightest development.

609
00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:36,520
Speaker 12: So, first of all, the optics of this meeting in Anchorage,

610
00:32:36,520 --> 00:32:39,520
Speaker 12: Alaska on Friday, we're really incredible, reader, weren't they. I

611
00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:41,840
Speaker 12: mean the B two bomber flying overhead, I mean as

612
00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:44,400
Speaker 12: they were walking down the red carpet, Donald Trump taking

613
00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:47,800
Speaker 12: flat mirpoon's hand and like physically pulling in the world's

614
00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:51,440
Speaker 12: ultimate power handshake. I mean, the optics we just can miss,

615
00:32:51,840 --> 00:32:55,840
Speaker 12: you know, unmistakable stuff. The problem here in this conflict,

616
00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:58,520
Speaker 12: and you know, Zelensky saying there what he's been saying

617
00:32:58,520 --> 00:32:59,840
Speaker 12: for the past three and a half years, which is

618
00:32:59,840 --> 00:33:02,640
Speaker 12: that Ukraine's not ready or willing to give up an

619
00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:05,200
Speaker 12: inch of territory. Meanwhile, on the other hand, you have

620
00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:08,320
Speaker 12: Lamar Putin who simply thinks that Ukraine literally does not

621
00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:11,520
Speaker 12: and should not exist as a sovereign, independent entity. It's

622
00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:13,800
Speaker 12: very difficult, frankly to see at this time, what does

623
00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:16,880
Speaker 12: an actual then diagram overlap sweet spot, you know, a

624
00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:20,880
Speaker 12: zone of possible agreements between these two parties there. So look,

625
00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:24,480
Speaker 12: I mean Donald Trump at times sounded somewhat frustrated after

626
00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:26,560
Speaker 12: the meeting a time South and someone optimistic there the

627
00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:28,840
Speaker 12: details that things remain a little bit to be determined.

628
00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:31,120
Speaker 12: But both these men are going to have to budge there.

629
00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:33,320
Speaker 12: I mean, Putin is going to have to recognize that

630
00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:36,920
Speaker 12: Ukraine has existed since the downfall of communistment, is going

631
00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:39,719
Speaker 12: to continue to exist as independent countries. Zelenski is going

632
00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:43,200
Speaker 12: to have to concede the reality on the ground as

633
00:33:43,240 --> 00:33:45,200
Speaker 12: far as where the military troops are and so forth,

634
00:33:45,240 --> 00:33:47,720
Speaker 12: that Ukraine is not going to have these same borders

635
00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:50,440
Speaker 12: after this war that it had prior to the February

636
00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:53,840
Speaker 12: twenty twenty two incursion from the Russian Army. On the

637
00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:55,880
Speaker 12: other hand, Ukraine's going to have to accept as well

638
00:33:55,920 --> 00:33:58,560
Speaker 12: that they're not going to join NATO and the European Union.

639
00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:00,240
Speaker 12: So there's going to have to be a lot of

640
00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:02,600
Speaker 12: give and take here on both sides. The rough outlines

641
00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:04,440
Speaker 12: of a deal, reader, I think are pretty clear. They've

642
00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:06,600
Speaker 12: been fairly clear now for about two years, which is

643
00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:08,799
Speaker 12: which really probably three years was the most frustrating part

644
00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:10,880
Speaker 12: of all this there. But again, these two guys just

645
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:13,319
Speaker 12: aren't willing to budge there. But you know what, here's

646
00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:14,799
Speaker 12: what I know. I know that if there's one guy

647
00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:17,160
Speaker 12: who can actually get this through across the finish line,

648
00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:19,440
Speaker 12: it's the guy who got the peace deal between Cambodia

649
00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:22,680
Speaker 12: and Thaieh Land, between Congo and Rwanda, India and Pakistan,

650
00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:25,520
Speaker 12: Armenia and Azerbaijan, Israel and Iran. My goodness, gracious, how

651
00:34:25,520 --> 00:34:27,640
Speaker 12: many peace deals has this guy gotten in just the

652
00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:30,440
Speaker 12: past six seven years or past six seven months of

653
00:34:30,520 --> 00:34:32,400
Speaker 12: this administration there, So we'll see if he's got one

654
00:34:32,440 --> 00:34:34,160
Speaker 12: more trick up his card reader, But I definitely wu

655
00:34:34,200 --> 00:34:35,360
Speaker 12: not discount the possibility.

656
00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:39,600
Speaker 3: Now the Democrats are turning on each other. Mayor Eric

657
00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:43,600
Speaker 3: Adams has hit out at the man likely to replace

658
00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:48,040
Speaker 3: him as mayor, a Democrat and communist, Zora and ma'm Dani, who,

659
00:34:48,080 --> 00:34:52,480
Speaker 3: despite being a Muslim Josh, wants to decriminalize prostitution.

660
00:34:53,080 --> 00:34:54,480
Speaker 1: Well, Mayor Adams was.

661
00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:57,560
Speaker 3: Calling him out on that is wondering what Kuran ma'm

662
00:34:57,640 --> 00:34:58,919
Speaker 3: Dani is reading.

663
00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:03,800
Speaker 12: Of God, just says Macdonnie says he's a Muslim.

664
00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:06,800
Speaker 7: I don't know where in his Kuran does the state

665
00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:09,480
Speaker 7: it's okay for a woman to be on the street

666
00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:10,360
Speaker 7: selling their boy.

667
00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:12,879
Speaker 6: I don't know what Karan is not.

668
00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:16,880
Speaker 7: In my baby, and so if that's his belief, it

669
00:35:17,040 --> 00:35:18,640
Speaker 7: is dangerous.

670
00:35:18,520 --> 00:35:20,640
Speaker 1: For our city, Josh.

671
00:35:20,719 --> 00:35:23,799
Speaker 3: I've got to say it's controversial obviously for Madams to

672
00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:25,160
Speaker 3: say what he said, but I'm.

673
00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:27,319
Speaker 1: So glad he's calling out this.

674
00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:33,160
Speaker 3: Unholy alliance that exists between and Mandani is really a

675
00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:36,719
Speaker 3: good representative of but this unholy alliance between the far

676
00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:41,360
Speaker 3: left and Islamist You could call them who've got nothing

677
00:35:41,400 --> 00:35:44,920
Speaker 3: in common other than their hate for the West and

678
00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:47,680
Speaker 3: the hate of conservatives and Republicans.

679
00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:52,920
Speaker 12: Yeah, it's the old Red Green Alliance. And Zora Mamdani

680
00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:55,680
Speaker 12: is the singular encapsulation of this. By the way, So

681
00:35:55,880 --> 00:35:58,560
Speaker 12: is this is this nut job running from mayor in Minneapolis,

682
00:35:58,560 --> 00:36:01,640
Speaker 12: Minnesota or Marfaite as well, exact same thing there. But

683
00:36:01,840 --> 00:36:04,719
Speaker 12: you know, ma'am donnie, you know Eric Adams is right.

684
00:36:04,920 --> 00:36:07,160
Speaker 12: I mean, ma'm donnie is not a shall you say,

685
00:36:07,400 --> 00:36:10,080
Speaker 12: he's not a Commas style islamis I mean, this is

686
00:36:10,120 --> 00:36:13,760
Speaker 12: not someone who actually believes in the universal binding nature

687
00:36:14,120 --> 00:36:17,360
Speaker 12: of Shria law. Rather, what ma'm donnie does is he

688
00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:22,200
Speaker 12: takes kind of the identity politics aspect of Islamic background

689
00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:25,160
Speaker 12: and then takes it and kind of transmographies it launders

690
00:36:25,160 --> 00:36:27,359
Speaker 12: it through the prism of progressive politics.

691
00:36:27,239 --> 00:36:28,240
Speaker 8: That's how you get.

692
00:36:28,160 --> 00:36:31,240
Speaker 12: Him going all in on the globalizing into Fada stuff

693
00:36:31,239 --> 00:36:32,799
Speaker 12: when it comes to Israel, when it comes to his

694
00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:35,280
Speaker 12: anti Semitism there, when it comes to his whole noxious

695
00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:38,200
Speaker 12: DEI woke worldview. But I mean, this is obviously not

696
00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:41,200
Speaker 12: someone who is a particularly pious or religious Muslim there.

697
00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:44,000
Speaker 12: But you know, you know read, I never fail to laugh.

698
00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:46,640
Speaker 12: You know, when these individuals come along, I think back

699
00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:49,080
Speaker 12: more often than it probably should, about about a woman

700
00:36:49,160 --> 00:36:50,160
Speaker 12: named Linda Sarsour.

701
00:36:50,480 --> 00:36:52,000
Speaker 8: The world has probably forgotten.

702
00:36:51,680 --> 00:36:54,960
Speaker 12: That she existed, but she was the leader of the

703
00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:58,000
Speaker 12: Women's March back in twenty seventeen, and there were these

704
00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:01,000
Speaker 12: old tweets of hers kind of lauding Law and what

705
00:37:01,040 --> 00:37:03,920
Speaker 12: it's said about credit cards and interest payments is apparently

706
00:37:03,920 --> 00:37:06,400
Speaker 12: a very favorable liberal policy there. I mean, has anyone

707
00:37:06,440 --> 00:37:09,360
Speaker 12: asked Linda Sarasa, the leader of the Women's morator Sheria

708
00:37:09,440 --> 00:37:11,759
Speaker 12: Law says about oh, I don't know, women, and about

709
00:37:11,800 --> 00:37:13,360
Speaker 12: like women's rights.

710
00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:13,600
Speaker 8: And all that there.

711
00:37:13,640 --> 00:37:16,080
Speaker 12: So I mean this whole red Green alliance, reader, I mean,

712
00:37:16,120 --> 00:37:19,000
Speaker 12: as you properly say, it's all about destroying Jews, Christians,

713
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:22,560
Speaker 12: the West, capitalism or literally all Western civilization. But I

714
00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:24,920
Speaker 12: mean it's a rather art alliance, isn't.

715
00:37:24,760 --> 00:37:27,080
Speaker 1: It It is?

716
00:37:27,239 --> 00:37:29,799
Speaker 3: And you know how it's going to end because those

717
00:37:29,920 --> 00:37:32,920
Speaker 3: two groups really agree on nothing, and one of them

718
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:37,160
Speaker 3: is not particularly tolerant of anything that is not part

719
00:37:37,160 --> 00:37:41,040
Speaker 3: of their belief system. Now, from one Democrat city to another,

720
00:37:41,520 --> 00:37:47,440
Speaker 3: LA is a mess. Downtown LA is derelict, depressing place.

721
00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:51,480
Speaker 3: It's getting some attention for just the huge crime Josh,

722
00:37:51,520 --> 00:37:56,640
Speaker 3: the homelessners, businesses boarded up. And we see this across

723
00:37:56,680 --> 00:38:02,560
Speaker 3: the US in some of these big, formally glorious cities

724
00:38:02,719 --> 00:38:05,880
Speaker 3: that are just shadows of their former self. What's the

725
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:09,080
Speaker 3: solution to this? Stickay, they do have one thing in common.

726
00:38:09,120 --> 00:38:13,520
Speaker 3: They are all ruled by Democrats and long term. But

727
00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:19,360
Speaker 3: if the people keep voting for politicians who enable this,

728
00:38:20,080 --> 00:38:23,400
Speaker 3: what is the solution? Is there a way to recover

729
00:38:23,600 --> 00:38:26,240
Speaker 3: these cities and restore them to their former glory.

730
00:38:27,719 --> 00:38:30,520
Speaker 12: Look, I mean not sound like an ultrapartisan, but you're

731
00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:31,120
Speaker 12: totally right.

732
00:38:31,320 --> 00:38:32,880
Speaker 8: I mean virtually.

733
00:38:32,440 --> 00:38:35,480
Speaker 12: Every scene in America that has you know, gone down

734
00:38:35,520 --> 00:38:37,960
Speaker 12: the toilet over the past three, four or five decades

735
00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:42,080
Speaker 12: on end, whether it's Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, Memphis, Tennessee,

736
00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:46,520
Speaker 12: Saint Louis, Baltimore, Detroit, Washington, d C. I mean, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

737
00:38:46,719 --> 00:38:49,560
Speaker 12: I mean, there's just so so many examples there. And

738
00:38:49,920 --> 00:38:51,200
Speaker 12: you know, when is the last time there's been a

739
00:38:51,200 --> 00:38:55,080
Speaker 12: Republican mayor in literally any of the cities they just named.

740
00:38:55,080 --> 00:38:57,480
Speaker 12: I actually don't know what the answer is, but i'spect

741
00:38:57,520 --> 00:39:00,279
Speaker 12: it's been a very very long time there, so you know,

742
00:39:00,760 --> 00:39:04,000
Speaker 12: at some point it's very difficult to help people Riata

743
00:39:04,120 --> 00:39:07,120
Speaker 12: who don't want to help themselves. Like I have the

744
00:39:07,160 --> 00:39:09,120
Speaker 12: same thoughts similarly as well, when I look at the

745
00:39:09,120 --> 00:39:11,759
Speaker 12: current situation in Europe, When I look at, you know,

746
00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:13,840
Speaker 12: the horrible situation in the UK, when it comes to

747
00:39:13,880 --> 00:39:16,480
Speaker 12: these roving gangs of Pakistani Muslims that are doing all

748
00:39:16,520 --> 00:39:19,520
Speaker 12: sorts of horrible things to little English school children there,

749
00:39:19,560 --> 00:39:21,720
Speaker 12: I think, you know, how can I help them? Then

750
00:39:21,760 --> 00:39:23,680
Speaker 12: I also say, you know, you can't help people who

751
00:39:23,680 --> 00:39:26,239
Speaker 12: don't want to help themselves, whether it comes to importing

752
00:39:27,080 --> 00:39:29,000
Speaker 12: you know, mass folks from Syian in Afghanistan who want

753
00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:31,439
Speaker 12: assimilate there, whether it comes to electing democrats here.

754
00:39:31,560 --> 00:39:32,680
Speaker 8: So it's a very difficult thing.

755
00:39:32,719 --> 00:39:34,959
Speaker 12: But I do think a little bit about this quote

756
00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:38,680
Speaker 12: from a great twentieth century social critic and newspaper comments

757
00:39:38,719 --> 00:39:40,760
Speaker 12: by the name of hl Menkin. He was a famous

758
00:39:40,800 --> 00:39:42,840
Speaker 12: early twentieth century columnist here in the United States, and

759
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:45,640
Speaker 12: hl Mancan had this one famous quote Riata where he

760
00:39:45,719 --> 00:39:48,319
Speaker 12: said that democracy is the theory of the common man.

761
00:39:48,560 --> 00:39:50,920
Speaker 12: Common man knows what he wants, and he deserves to

762
00:39:50,920 --> 00:39:53,200
Speaker 12: get it good and hard. So I look like I

763
00:39:53,239 --> 00:39:54,960
Speaker 12: look at a city like Los Angeles, I look at

764
00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:57,279
Speaker 12: a city like Chicago, Baltimore, Detroit, and I say, you

765
00:39:57,280 --> 00:39:59,839
Speaker 12: know what, this is hl Mankin's quote at work. I'm

766
00:39:59,880 --> 00:40:01,480
Speaker 12: just happy, for one though, that I live in the

767
00:40:01,480 --> 00:40:02,600
Speaker 12: free state of Florida.

768
00:40:02,760 --> 00:40:05,080
Speaker 3: Before you go, Josh, I just want to get your

769
00:40:05,160 --> 00:40:09,600
Speaker 3: input about the NFL forcing its teams to participate in

770
00:40:09,680 --> 00:40:13,480
Speaker 3: more activism, more pointless activism. The teams are being told

771
00:40:13,480 --> 00:40:16,520
Speaker 3: they have to put up these messages on their end zones,

772
00:40:16,520 --> 00:40:20,319
Speaker 3: things like end racism, stop Hate's about a half a

773
00:40:20,440 --> 00:40:23,440
Speaker 3: dozen social justice messages that they can choose from. But

774
00:40:23,600 --> 00:40:27,400
Speaker 3: I noted that her Meat Dylan, the Assistant Attorney General

775
00:40:27,440 --> 00:40:32,040
Speaker 3: for Civil Rights, had her own suggestion she wants this.

776
00:40:31,960 --> 00:40:34,560
Speaker 1: To be on the end zone. No one is above

777
00:40:34,800 --> 00:40:35,320
Speaker 1: the law.

778
00:40:35,440 --> 00:40:41,799
Speaker 3: I can get bought with that sort of messaging, Josh.

779
00:40:39,760 --> 00:40:42,560
Speaker 12: Well, Harmon Dylan, by the way, is absolutely fantastic, and

780
00:40:42,600 --> 00:40:44,480
Speaker 12: the American people who are blessed to have her in

781
00:40:44,520 --> 00:40:46,440
Speaker 12: her current position as the head of the Civil Rights

782
00:40:46,480 --> 00:40:49,000
Speaker 12: division of the dogm and following harmeied known Harmeat for

783
00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:51,600
Speaker 12: a long time there, so you know she is one

784
00:40:51,640 --> 00:40:55,600
Speaker 12: of many, many somewhat under the radar amazing appointees currently

785
00:40:55,640 --> 00:40:57,520
Speaker 12: serving the American people and serving it at a very

786
00:40:57,600 --> 00:41:00,520
Speaker 12: high level. Unfortunately, when it comes to the NFL, Dri Goodell,

787
00:41:00,560 --> 00:41:02,759
Speaker 12: the commissioner has been down the woke rabbit hole for

788
00:41:02,800 --> 00:41:05,879
Speaker 12: a very very long time now. Now read a lot

789
00:41:05,880 --> 00:41:08,320
Speaker 12: of these pro leagues here, the NFL, the NBA, they

790
00:41:08,400 --> 00:41:11,560
Speaker 12: really doubled and tripled down on the woke crap after

791
00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:15,200
Speaker 12: the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis back in twenty twenty.

792
00:41:15,440 --> 00:41:17,680
Speaker 12: But it's been literally over five years. I mean, it's

793
00:41:17,719 --> 00:41:20,560
Speaker 12: been literally over five years. Donald Trump has been brought

794
00:41:20,600 --> 00:41:22,560
Speaker 12: back like a phoenix, you know, from the from his

795
00:41:22,640 --> 00:41:24,680
Speaker 12: political death. He is now president in I state a

796
00:41:24,719 --> 00:41:25,200
Speaker 12: second time.

797
00:41:25,239 --> 00:41:26,120
Speaker 8: There he is.

798
00:41:26,080 --> 00:41:29,719
Speaker 12: Waging a war on DEI through through executive orders, through

799
00:41:29,760 --> 00:41:33,440
Speaker 12: through judicial decisions, through all the above stragedy there, and

800
00:41:33,760 --> 00:41:36,640
Speaker 12: you know, when are when are these remaining cultural institutions

801
00:41:36,680 --> 00:41:38,719
Speaker 12: going to get it? But ultimately read, you know, in

802
00:41:38,760 --> 00:41:42,160
Speaker 12: situation like this, the owners does fall on folks like me. Frankly,

803
00:41:42,160 --> 00:41:44,279
Speaker 12: I mean for someone like myself who was conservative, who

804
00:41:44,280 --> 00:41:47,080
Speaker 12: nonetheless is a big sports fan. There, I mean, I

805
00:41:47,120 --> 00:41:48,640
Speaker 12: hate to say it, but I guess the oners really

806
00:41:48,680 --> 00:41:50,200
Speaker 12: does kind of fall on us and really just turned

807
00:41:50,239 --> 00:41:52,759
Speaker 12: the channel and you know, and not watch this and

808
00:41:52,760 --> 00:41:55,399
Speaker 12: try to send a message, because that message actually does work.

809
00:41:55,400 --> 00:41:57,960
Speaker 12: I mean, think about Anaser Busch, Anaser Busch bud Light

810
00:41:58,360 --> 00:42:01,040
Speaker 12: after Dylan mulvaney Fast two and a half years ago.

811
00:42:01,080 --> 00:42:03,560
Speaker 12: Think about Target two years ago after they had the

812
00:42:03,600 --> 00:42:07,120
Speaker 12: so called quote unquote talk friendly clothing for children, the

813
00:42:07,440 --> 00:42:09,920
Speaker 12: transgender stuff. Their stock went, you know, went down the

814
00:42:09,920 --> 00:42:12,720
Speaker 12: toilet there. So the American consumers are actually very capable

815
00:42:12,719 --> 00:42:15,880
Speaker 12: of speaking out when companies disrespect their consumer base. There

816
00:42:15,920 --> 00:42:18,240
Speaker 12: And unfortunately, again as sports fan, it's kind of painful

817
00:42:18,239 --> 00:42:20,040
Speaker 12: to say, but I think that the NFL is probably

818
00:42:20,080 --> 00:42:22,040
Speaker 12: the next in line for such treatment.

819
00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:25,960
Speaker 3: Josh Hamma, thank you so much for your time today.

820
00:42:26,480 --> 00:42:30,920
Speaker 3: Still to come, Megan Michael mocked for her poor kitchen hygiene.

821
00:42:31,200 --> 00:42:33,279
Speaker 1: Kinseisco Field has the details.

822
00:42:42,480 --> 00:42:46,440
Speaker 3: Welcome back joining me now, celebrity and royal reporter kinsisco

823
00:42:46,520 --> 00:42:51,040
Speaker 3: Field Kinsey. Let's start with Affordable Cosmetics Elf. They're a

824
00:42:51,040 --> 00:42:54,919
Speaker 3: brand I've never heard of, but they're involved in some controversy.

825
00:42:54,960 --> 00:42:57,880
Speaker 3: Because I've got a new ad starring comedian Matt Raife

826
00:42:57,920 --> 00:43:01,799
Speaker 3: alongside drag Queen Heidi in cause it get it and

827
00:43:01,960 --> 00:43:05,440
Speaker 3: they've said, you know us, we're always listening and we've

828
00:43:05,600 --> 00:43:09,440
Speaker 3: heard you, Kinsey, what are they apologizing for? As far

829
00:43:09,480 --> 00:43:11,799
Speaker 3: as I know, Matt Rife is hilarious.

830
00:43:13,400 --> 00:43:16,160
Speaker 17: I mean, this is the thing. It's like sometimes I

831
00:43:16,200 --> 00:43:19,120
Speaker 17: want to say, cancel culture doesn't exist anymore, but here

832
00:43:19,160 --> 00:43:22,200
Speaker 17: we are. Matt Rift is a comedian. I think he's

833
00:43:22,200 --> 00:43:26,239
Speaker 17: a very funny comedian. But apparently the comment section was

834
00:43:26,280 --> 00:43:30,160
Speaker 17: angry about a previous joke he made involving domestic violence.

835
00:43:30,640 --> 00:43:34,520
Speaker 17: He kind of refused to apologize. Instead, he responded with

836
00:43:34,600 --> 00:43:38,160
Speaker 17: a link to buy helmets for those with disabilities. He said,

837
00:43:38,160 --> 00:43:40,239
Speaker 17: if you've ever been offended by a joke I've told,

838
00:43:40,280 --> 00:43:42,719
Speaker 17: here's a link to my official apology, and that's what

839
00:43:42,760 --> 00:43:46,200
Speaker 17: it was. So it's like, you know, I think back

840
00:43:46,200 --> 00:43:49,640
Speaker 17: in the day, people understood the difference between a joke

841
00:43:50,000 --> 00:43:53,680
Speaker 17: and something that crossed the line. And I think that

842
00:43:54,000 --> 00:43:56,640
Speaker 17: after me too, and after you know, kind of the

843
00:43:56,640 --> 00:44:01,200
Speaker 17: cancel culture way we've had, there are still some question there.

844
00:44:01,360 --> 00:44:04,319
Speaker 17: He's a comedian, he's supposed to see things that are inappropriate.

845
00:44:06,200 --> 00:44:06,640
Speaker 1: You know what.

846
00:44:06,760 --> 00:44:09,160
Speaker 3: He's funny, and I think as long as you're funny.

847
00:44:09,160 --> 00:44:12,160
Speaker 3: When you're a comic, then you can say pretty much

848
00:44:12,200 --> 00:44:14,400
Speaker 3: what you like. I don't have any objections. If you

849
00:44:14,440 --> 00:44:17,760
Speaker 3: don't like it, then you know, go watch Jimmy Kimmel

850
00:44:17,880 --> 00:44:22,080
Speaker 3: or something that's painfully unfunny but perhaps suits your politics more.

851
00:44:22,120 --> 00:44:26,839
Speaker 3: But being offended by Matt Rife really in twenty twenty five? Now,

852
00:44:26,920 --> 00:44:30,440
Speaker 3: let's move along to this trailer for a new documentary

853
00:44:30,440 --> 00:44:36,319
Speaker 3: about Krannie West. This trailer that's dropped features Kim Kardashian

854
00:44:36,560 --> 00:44:40,840
Speaker 3: crying as she tells West, your personality was not like

855
00:44:40,960 --> 00:44:44,880
Speaker 3: this a few years ago. It's fairly tense footage of

856
00:44:44,920 --> 00:44:46,800
Speaker 3: their tumultuous marriage.

857
00:44:47,320 --> 00:44:50,200
Speaker 1: What else do we learn from this? Stock o'kinsey.

858
00:44:50,600 --> 00:44:53,760
Speaker 17: So the movie's described as a reflection of the human

859
00:44:53,920 --> 00:44:57,879
Speaker 17: condition and all its contradictions. There's also one point where

860
00:44:57,960 --> 00:45:01,000
Speaker 17: Kanye says, I would rather be dead than beyond medication.

861
00:45:01,520 --> 00:45:05,880
Speaker 17: Either they destroy me or I destroy it. So, you know,

862
00:45:06,360 --> 00:45:08,040
Speaker 17: what do we learn? I think we're going to learn

863
00:45:08,080 --> 00:45:10,719
Speaker 17: a lot more about Kanye if he's of interest to

864
00:45:10,760 --> 00:45:13,680
Speaker 17: you today. But unfortunately, I feel like some of his

865
00:45:13,840 --> 00:45:17,560
Speaker 17: intricks over the last few years have really made him

866
00:45:17,680 --> 00:45:20,800
Speaker 17: a polarizing figure, and I don't know how many people

867
00:45:20,840 --> 00:45:23,160
Speaker 17: are curious about him. I think that a lot of

868
00:45:23,160 --> 00:45:27,960
Speaker 17: people are just so turned off that they've shut him out.

869
00:45:28,719 --> 00:45:32,720
Speaker 3: He's just had such Yeah, he was all about God

870
00:45:32,800 --> 00:45:35,880
Speaker 3: and his Christian values and his family values, and then

871
00:45:35,920 --> 00:45:39,200
Speaker 3: you see how he's carrying on at the moment. It's

872
00:45:39,200 --> 00:45:42,279
Speaker 3: hard to keep up. Now, Meghan Michael, I know you

873
00:45:42,320 --> 00:45:44,680
Speaker 3: love her, so I've included this topic just for you.

874
00:45:44,800 --> 00:45:48,920
Speaker 3: She's been mocked over her kitchen hygiene.

875
00:45:48,960 --> 00:45:50,040
Speaker 1: I think this is a bit harsh.

876
00:45:50,160 --> 00:45:53,239
Speaker 3: There was a bug that was seen crawling out from

877
00:45:53,360 --> 00:45:56,640
Speaker 3: under a plate of cookies during season two of her

878
00:45:56,719 --> 00:46:01,839
Speaker 3: cooking show With Love Meghan bit harsh because you know

879
00:46:02,040 --> 00:46:05,120
Speaker 3: she's this is almost endearing as far as Megan Michael

880
00:46:05,239 --> 00:46:07,120
Speaker 3: goes well.

881
00:46:07,160 --> 00:46:09,080
Speaker 17: I mean, what she's trying to do is highlight her

882
00:46:09,120 --> 00:46:12,000
Speaker 17: as every shortbread mix here on social media. But this

883
00:46:12,160 --> 00:46:17,040
Speaker 17: presentation backfired because you do see this little worm, and

884
00:46:17,160 --> 00:46:21,520
Speaker 17: critics are saying that it's unsanitary, and I mean, it's

885
00:46:21,520 --> 00:46:24,040
Speaker 17: just turned into a people fiasco. But I think the

886
00:46:24,120 --> 00:46:27,360
Speaker 17: reason why people care about it is because she's talking

887
00:46:27,400 --> 00:46:30,719
Speaker 17: about her entire new brand is about elevating and how

888
00:46:30,760 --> 00:46:33,680
Speaker 17: she looks for the little details and it's like, girlfriend,

889
00:46:34,160 --> 00:46:37,320
Speaker 17: you missed a bug on your tray. You're trying to

890
00:46:37,360 --> 00:46:40,320
Speaker 17: teach us about details, there is a bug in your food.

891
00:46:40,719 --> 00:46:43,520
Speaker 1: I think that's why this is blowing up online.

892
00:46:44,960 --> 00:46:47,880
Speaker 3: Well, you know, she's too busy putting little micro flowers

893
00:46:47,920 --> 00:46:51,000
Speaker 3: all over the food, so the bugs are an afterthought.

894
00:46:52,200 --> 00:46:55,040
Speaker 3: I spoke about this next topic earlier in the program,

895
00:46:55,040 --> 00:46:56,279
Speaker 3: and Left is losing it.

896
00:46:56,480 --> 00:46:57,879
Speaker 1: Former FBI director.

897
00:46:57,680 --> 00:47:03,399
Speaker 3: James Comey's bizarre that he posted himself explaining how he

898
00:47:03,520 --> 00:47:07,359
Speaker 3: listens to Taylor Swift as a coping mechanism to deal

899
00:47:07,400 --> 00:47:11,680
Speaker 3: with President Trump. Kinsey, I've got to say, from what

900
00:47:11,760 --> 00:47:16,759
Speaker 3: I've seen, he's been pretty comprehensively mocked for this bizarre

901
00:47:16,800 --> 00:47:18,000
Speaker 3: and lengthy rant.

902
00:47:19,520 --> 00:47:22,280
Speaker 1: You're absolutely right. The internet is so confused.

903
00:47:22,280 --> 00:47:25,479
Speaker 17: One of my favorite comments online was, ah, I see

904
00:47:25,600 --> 00:47:28,960
Speaker 17: James Comy is lobbying for the insanity defense when the

905
00:47:28,960 --> 00:47:32,520
Speaker 17: criminal charges come his way. But if I could steal

906
00:47:32,560 --> 00:47:35,799
Speaker 17: a line from my favorite Senator John Kennedy of Louisiana,

907
00:47:36,040 --> 00:47:39,759
Speaker 17: James Comy needs to go to Amazon and buy some testicles.

908
00:47:39,880 --> 00:47:42,759
Speaker 17: I mean, what grown man wants to sit around and

909
00:47:42,800 --> 00:47:45,440
Speaker 17: talk about how Taylor Swift is a part of his

910
00:47:45,520 --> 00:47:46,760
Speaker 17: healing process reader.

911
00:47:46,840 --> 00:47:47,560
Speaker 1: I'm concerned.

912
00:47:49,400 --> 00:47:52,080
Speaker 3: Oh, we're all concerned about James Comy. I said earlier

913
00:47:52,160 --> 00:47:55,160
Speaker 3: that he's angling for some sort of not guilty by

914
00:47:55,200 --> 00:47:59,799
Speaker 3: reason of mental insanity defense. Perhaps there's this method to

915
00:47:59,800 --> 00:48:05,719
Speaker 3: the maners before you go. There's some recent analysis showing

916
00:48:05,840 --> 00:48:10,719
Speaker 3: that Republican Texas Senator Ted Cruz, his podcast Verdict with

917
00:48:10,800 --> 00:48:15,480
Speaker 3: Ted Cruz, is the most popular political podcast, boasting nearly

918
00:48:15,560 --> 00:48:20,239
Speaker 3: one point five million downloads in July alone. Kinsey, this

919
00:48:20,360 --> 00:48:24,080
Speaker 3: took me by surprise because he's got a sense of humor,

920
00:48:24,120 --> 00:48:26,960
Speaker 3: but he's a pretty serious figure. But obviously plenty of

921
00:48:27,000 --> 00:48:31,080
Speaker 3: people are listening into his thoughts here. Yeah.

922
00:48:31,160 --> 00:48:34,400
Speaker 17: I also think that this is a case for consistency.

923
00:48:34,920 --> 00:48:38,000
Speaker 17: We mentioned began Marcole. He's been doing this like three

924
00:48:38,080 --> 00:48:40,759
Speaker 17: days a week since twenty twenty. You know, people know

925
00:48:40,800 --> 00:48:42,759
Speaker 17: that they can rely on and he fights a lot

926
00:48:42,760 --> 00:48:44,560
Speaker 17: of people. He goes after a lot of people, he

927
00:48:44,680 --> 00:48:47,080
Speaker 17: challenges them. But what I loved about this was it

928
00:48:47,120 --> 00:48:51,400
Speaker 17: was like Republicans versus Democrats and how the podcasting world

929
00:48:51,440 --> 00:48:55,200
Speaker 17: is really dominated by some of the Republican personalities. Gavin

930
00:48:55,239 --> 00:48:58,480
Speaker 17: Newsom came in second. He's also kind of a newbie

931
00:48:58,600 --> 00:49:02,239
