Speaker 1: On scorn lids Ostrodio. This is the winder Panalty Show.
0:08
Speaker 2: Good evening and welcome to the Rita Panicky Show coming
0:11
Speaker 2: up tonight. One Nation continue to surge in the polls
0:14
Speaker 2: and that's causing panic among certain members of the Albanezi government.
0:19
Speaker 2: Dan Wile would join me to discuss that shortly. All
0:22
Speaker 2: the latest from the US with the great Dave Ruben.
0:26
Speaker 2: You don't want to miss that. Last we take a
0:28
Speaker 2: comprehensive look at President Trump State of the Union address today,
0:33
Speaker 2: all the big moments with Army Horowitz, and we never
0:37
Speaker 2: neglect Left is losing it tonight featuring this moment of
0:40
Speaker 2: cringe with Gavin Nuism and Usher. Why don't you need
0:45
Speaker 2: to see Leni.
0:49
Speaker 3: Stretched outa hotel California.
0:53
Speaker 2: But first, further evidence that labor is seriously concerned, Sam
0:57
Speaker 2: may say panicked with the surgeons of for One Nation.
1:01
Speaker 2: Yesterday it was Education Minister Jason Claire talking about instilling
1:05
Speaker 2: national pride in school children. Today it's the Albanese government's
1:08
Speaker 2: Assistant Multicultural Minister Julian Hill calling out the party's progressive faction,
1:14
Speaker 2: telling them to stop demonizing those who attend much for
1:17
Speaker 2: Australia rallies telling them that they should be supporting Australia
1:21
Speaker 2: Day and also calling out radical Islamist ideologies. Let's bring
1:27
Speaker 2: in Deputy Executive director at the Institute of Public Affairs,
1:30
Speaker 2: Daniel Wild. Dan, do you buy this late stage patriotism
1:34
Speaker 2: from Labor, particularly coming from the likes of Julian Hill.
1:38
Speaker 1: Oh.
1:39
Speaker 4: I don't believe a word he says. And he doesn't
1:41
Speaker 4: believe a word he says. How can you say you
1:43
Speaker 4: love Australia when you spent the first term of Parliament
1:46
Speaker 4: advocating for racial division with the Voice to Parliament and
1:49
Speaker 4: deriding people who want to cut immigration as racist. So
1:51
Speaker 4: he doesn't believe any of this at all. As you
1:54
Speaker 4: rightly said, this is all one nation. You know, we
1:56
Speaker 4: were told, oh, don't worry, one nations just taking votes
1:58
Speaker 4: from the Liberal Party.
1:59
Speaker 5: No they're not.
2:00
Speaker 4: They're taking votes from the Labor Party as well. So
2:02
Speaker 4: it's all politics. But this is significant. So you have
2:06
Speaker 4: a very far left ideologue, good friends with Albneasy, who
2:10
Speaker 4: is now saying we have to celebrate Australia Day. Even
2:13
Speaker 4: if he doesn't believe it, they now know that they
2:15
Speaker 4: have to say it. Same with Jason Claire he doesn't
2:18
Speaker 4: believe anything he said about the national curriculum, but even
2:20
Speaker 4: he now has to say that the curriculum needs to
2:23
Speaker 4: have national pride. This shows that we have won the
2:26
Speaker 4: culture wars. We may not have won it in Parliament,
2:28
Speaker 4: but we've won it in the public. And the fact
2:30
Speaker 4: that these far left you know Albo said I love
2:33
Speaker 4: to fight Tories, right, this is his government that is
2:36
Speaker 4: now saying, let's get behind Australia Day, let's support the flag.
2:39
Speaker 4: Let's not call people racist when they say we've got
2:41
Speaker 4: a cut immigration. Doesn't this a show that we've won
2:44
Speaker 4: that culture war that we were told we're not allowed.
2:45
Speaker 2: To fight and really wanted, without the Coalition really doing
2:52
Speaker 2: much at all. It's been left to the culture and
2:55
Speaker 2: to one Nation and other smaller players to have that fight.
3:00
Speaker 2: The Coalition has just been too terrified to even enter
3:04
Speaker 2: these culture wars. And when we talk about Julian here,
3:07
Speaker 2: let's not forget it wasn't too long ago that he demonized.
3:10
Speaker 2: Just Enterprise called a commentary racist because she essentially repeated
3:16
Speaker 2: what a labor polsters said about the voting patterns of
3:19
Speaker 2: Indian migrants who naturalize and take part in our democracy.
3:24
Speaker 2: That's the sort of fellow he is to now be
3:28
Speaker 2: pretending to be some faux conservative who loves the country
3:31
Speaker 2: and loves Australia Day. I ain't buying it either.
3:34
Speaker 4: Yep, I don't buy it and people will see through
3:36
Speaker 4: it now in terms of your point about that the Coalition,
3:39
Speaker 4: what the Liberal Party leadership needs to do now is
3:42
Speaker 4: the need to press Labor on this issue. Are you
3:45
Speaker 4: going to stand in front of one flag? Are you
3:47
Speaker 4: going to legislate to protect Australia Day? Are you going
3:50
Speaker 4: to legislate to ban or criminalize the burning of the
3:52
Speaker 4: Australian flag. So these words are fine, but now the
3:55
Speaker 4: Coalition needs to press the advantage and actually seize the
3:58
Speaker 4: opportunity to show Australians he's not fairedinkom about this at all.
4:02
Speaker 5: And if there's.
4:02
Speaker 4: Legislation put into Parliament, they'll vote. They'll vote no label
4:05
Speaker 4: vote no.
4:06
Speaker 2: Well, let's look at some of the latest polling. This
4:09
Speaker 2: is for Demos and it shows that this is an
4:12
Speaker 2: interesting figure among female voters. DAN one Nation is now
4:17
Speaker 2: leading with twenty nine percent of the primary vote, ahead
4:20
Speaker 2: of Labor on twenty seven and the Coalition on twenty one,
4:24
Speaker 2: up one percent there. I got to say, that's a
4:28
Speaker 2: turn up for the books we assume or the passion
4:31
Speaker 2: has shown that female voters tend to lean more left
4:35
Speaker 2: than male voters, particularly young female voters. But we're seeing
4:40
Speaker 2: there a really broad spectrum of support for one nation.
4:44
Speaker 2: It's not just your over fifty fives, it's not just
4:48
Speaker 2: those who are in regional areas. That the support is
4:53
Speaker 2: coming from all sorts of quarters.
4:55
Speaker 4: I love this because we have all known that the
4:58
Speaker 4: trope used by the old Liberal Party establishment that we
5:02
Speaker 4: have to appeal to female voters, we have to appeal
5:04
Speaker 4: to young voters. I agree, you have to appeal to
5:06
Speaker 4: all voters, but it was a cliche, a smoke screen
5:10
Speaker 4: for the Liberal Party needs to go to the left.
5:12
Speaker 4: But One Nation has shown that that is completely wrong.
5:14
Speaker 4: And guess what, women care about our culture as well.
5:18
Speaker 4: They care about immigration, They want to cut immigration. They
5:22
Speaker 4: believe the things we're talking about about the flag our
5:25
Speaker 4: national identity. Like the idea that you have to quarantine
5:27
Speaker 4: certain policies, policies for certain demographic groups is always just
5:31
Speaker 4: a trope used by the left wing of the Liberal
5:34
Speaker 4: Party to justify getting the.
5:36
Speaker 5: Party to go to the left.
5:37
Speaker 4: And where did that get them a fifteen percent primary vote.
5:40
Speaker 4: That's what happens when you do that.
5:42
Speaker 2: Every time they lurch to the left, or it's Malcolm Turnbull,
5:45
Speaker 2: whether it's Susan Lee, it's whether it's Scott Morrison signing
5:49
Speaker 2: up to net zero, they lose, and they lose badly
5:52
Speaker 2: and they seem to learn no lessons from a dad.
5:54
Speaker 2: I'm hoping this time around there's been some learning. Now.
5:58
Speaker 2: This is a massive improvement in what we've seen from
6:02
Speaker 2: the Coalition when it comes to the East Safety Commission.
6:05
Speaker 2: Now they are now demanding that Labor establish a full
6:08
Speaker 2: review into the use of takedown notices by the e
6:12
Speaker 2: Safety Commissioner Julian Mangrant after the courts rule that them
6:16
Speaker 2: to be unlawful and outside the scope of her powers.
6:19
Speaker 2: And Julian mcgrand has attempted to force the removal of
6:24
Speaker 2: several posts. But the one that's been in the courts
6:27
Speaker 2: and in the news recently was by a children rights advocates,
6:31
Speaker 2: Celine Baumgarten, who criticized a primary school a primary school
6:37
Speaker 2: for teaching radical gender ideology to children as young as eight,
6:42
Speaker 2: and for some reason, Julian mcgrant decided that posts should
6:47
Speaker 2: not exist, try to take it down, and good on
6:49
Speaker 2: this mum, this single mum for fighting this, because so
6:54
Speaker 2: many others wouldn't distress the cost of going through this process.
7:01
Speaker 2: It is something most people don't want to take on.
7:03
Speaker 5: Well, Julian Mangrant's out of control. She's got to go.
7:06
Speaker 4: And the e Safety Commission needs to be shut down
7:08
Speaker 4: because it's not a safety commission, it's a censorship commission.
7:12
Speaker 4: And this is significant, as you mentioned by Sarah Henderson
7:15
Speaker 4: to say this, and it's an example of how we
7:18
Speaker 4: have we're winning on these issues on freedom of speech. Now,
7:21
Speaker 4: remember Julian man Grant famously wanted to ban the video
7:24
Speaker 4: of mar Mury Emmanuel getting stabbed in the eye because
7:28
Speaker 4: it was violent, But then she didn't want to get
7:30
Speaker 4: rid of the videos of George Floyd for example.
7:33
Speaker 2: So it's useful too.
7:35
Speaker 4: So she has a political agenda. She is a political activist.
7:39
Speaker 4: And if you believe that this role should exist, which
7:41
Speaker 4: I don't, but even if you believe it should exist,
7:43
Speaker 4: we cannot have a political activist who wants to police
7:47
Speaker 4: and censor the Internet in that role. So this is
7:49
Speaker 4: a very very good development from Sarah Henderson and the Coalition.
7:53
Speaker 2: It is a very positive development because for too long
7:56
Speaker 2: the Coalition and Labor have been on a unity ticket
7:59
Speaker 2: when it comes to the Office of the Safety Commissioner,
8:02
Speaker 2: while that office has been used to push politics. It's
8:05
Speaker 2: supposed to be there to protect children from online harm,
8:10
Speaker 2: but it's morphed into something entirely different. And we see
8:13
Speaker 2: it again and again, whether it's to do with radical
8:16
Speaker 2: trans ideology, whether it's got to do with Islamism, and
8:22
Speaker 2: it's always this notion of social cohesion and safety that's
8:27
Speaker 2: used to justify this censorship.
8:30
Speaker 5: Yeah it is.
8:31
Speaker 4: And like with almost anything, it started under the Coalition
8:35
Speaker 4: as the Children's E Safety Commissioner.
8:38
Speaker 5: And I get the arguments.
8:39
Speaker 4: There's a lot of content that children can access and
8:42
Speaker 4: they shouldn't access online. And I'm not talking about social media.
8:45
Speaker 4: I'm talking about the very violent and obscene material. Now,
8:48
Speaker 4: whether the government can stop that or not, I've got
8:50
Speaker 4: no idea, but I understand why a lot of people
8:52
Speaker 4: want it.
8:52
Speaker 5: But then they drop the word children.
8:54
Speaker 4: It's no longer the Children's E Safety Commissioner, it's the
8:57
Speaker 4: E Safety Commissioner. So it's a classic example of mission
9:00
Speaker 4: creep that the bureaucracy always engages in.
9:03
Speaker 2: Yes, the slippery slope is a well, it's a roller coaster.
9:08
Speaker 2: It has changed into something entirely different in a very quick,
9:13
Speaker 2: quick period of time. Now, let's have a look at
9:16
Speaker 2: the latest inflation figures released today. Headline inflation came in
9:20
Speaker 2: and at three point eight percent, while trimmed meat inflation.
9:23
Speaker 2: The Reserve Bank's preferred measure rose to three point four percent.
9:27
Speaker 2: That's up from three point three in December. Dan. That's
9:31
Speaker 2: well outside the Reserve Bank's target band of two to
9:34
Speaker 2: three percent. This isn't good news for interest rates for
9:38
Speaker 2: mortgage holders. This is pretty grim really, because we've had
9:42
Speaker 2: such pressure put on households with consecutive interest rate rises.
9:49
Speaker 2: We're expecting to see a whole raft of decreases. And
9:53
Speaker 2: the last movement was up and it looks like the
9:55
Speaker 2: next one may be up as well.
9:56
Speaker 5: Oh definitely. I mean this.
9:58
Speaker 4: When people say inflation is steady, that still means prices
10:01
Speaker 4: are going up. Yeah, right, so it's still going at
10:04
Speaker 4: a high level. The increase is the same, it's not accelerating.
10:07
Speaker 4: But look the RBA stuffed it. I mean they chose
10:10
Speaker 4: to cut rates before the election in what was in
10:12
Speaker 4: my view, a political exercise. I think they came under
10:15
Speaker 4: pressure and they buckled and they cut rates when they
10:18
Speaker 4: should not have done that.
10:19
Speaker 5: Michelle Bullock herself said that if you.
10:21
Speaker 4: Prematurely cut rates, you're going to end up with high
10:23
Speaker 4: rates in the future because inflation will get out of control.
10:26
Speaker 5: That is exactly what has happened now.
10:28
Speaker 4: The government's not off the hook because they're pumping money
10:31
Speaker 4: into the economy without growing the economy. So that's why
10:34
Speaker 4: you're getting an increase in inflation.
10:36
Speaker 2: But should the RBA just keep increasing rates? It seems
10:40
Speaker 2: to be such a simplistic measure when we can see
10:44
Speaker 2: so much of that inflationary pressure is coming from government spending.
10:48
Speaker 2: So while we punishing households that are doing the right thing,
10:52
Speaker 2: that are already hurting that US already experiencing quite severe
10:56
Speaker 2: cost of living pressures, why are we punishing them further
11:00
Speaker 2: when it's just the government that is pumping more and
11:02
Speaker 2: more money into the economy and causing inflation to stay
11:06
Speaker 2: well above what the RBA considers to be an acceptable level.
11:10
Speaker 4: Well, that's a really good point, and I think there's
11:12
Speaker 4: a couple of things. The only way you can really
11:13
Speaker 4: get inflation down is by taking money out of the economy,
11:16
Speaker 4: so you can do that. As you say, interestrates mean
11:18
Speaker 4: that you've got less spending power.
11:19
Speaker 5: If you've got a mortgage.
11:20
Speaker 4: You can increase taxes, which we don't want, but it
11:23
Speaker 4: does mean that you have less money, or you can
11:24
Speaker 4: cut spending so there's less welfare and government spending going out,
11:28
Speaker 4: so then you'll have less spending. But no matter what happens,
11:31
Speaker 4: someone's going to have pain. Right There's going to be
11:33
Speaker 4: pain associated with getting inflation down.
11:35
Speaker 5: There's no way around it.
11:37
Speaker 2: Now the New South Wales government has turned the police
11:40
Speaker 2: forces Operation Shelter into a twenty four to seven rapid
11:44
Speaker 2: response unit arm with two hundred and fifty officers task
11:48
Speaker 2: we're tackling hate related and religiously motivated offenses down. The
11:52
Speaker 2: program was originally established in October twenty twenty three to
11:56
Speaker 2: crack down on anti Semitism, but has now been made
11:59
Speaker 2: a permanent fear mixture of New South Wales police. How
12:02
Speaker 2: do you see this development. We obviously have an issue
12:06
Speaker 2: with increase in anti Semitism and that sometimes is resulting
12:10
Speaker 2: in acts of violence, threats, things that are against the law.
12:15
Speaker 2: But when you've got a unit devoted to hate crimes
12:20
Speaker 2: and we've got new hate speech laws. It makes me
12:22
Speaker 2: a little bit nervous.
12:23
Speaker 5: I'm alarmed.
12:24
Speaker 4: I'm really alarmed, and I think this is going to
12:27
Speaker 4: be you know, how long is it before someone gets
12:29
Speaker 4: a knock at their door about a tweet?
12:31
Speaker 5: I think that's going to happen.
12:32
Speaker 4: And the whole problem is it's not as if we
12:35
Speaker 4: haven't had the laws to deal with the problem like
12:37
Speaker 4: intimidating people being viold that's already unlawful. The police just
12:41
Speaker 4: didn't enforce the laws. So now they've got these broader laws,
12:45
Speaker 4: which is about hate speech or hate crimes or hateful activity.
12:49
Speaker 4: I'm alarmed at where this is going to go. And
12:51
Speaker 4: I really do think that this is going to take us,
12:53
Speaker 4: you know, and it's not going to go fully there
12:55
Speaker 4: yet yet, but it'll be bits and pieces and you
12:58
Speaker 4: will see someone is going to have an I've got
13:00
Speaker 4: the door from police for something they've said, and then
13:02
Speaker 4: the horses will have bolted on this.
13:03
Speaker 2: Well, Dan, you say, we don't know where this is
13:05
Speaker 2: going to go, but we've got an idea because we've
13:07
Speaker 2: seen these sort of laws in countries like Germany and
13:10
Speaker 2: the UK, and it has a really quite a sinister
13:14
Speaker 2: impact on everyday folks, sometimes even saying mainstream opinions that
13:21
Speaker 2: are not acceptable. And there seems to also be a
13:24
Speaker 2: development of a two tier system where certain beliefs and
13:27
Speaker 2: certain groups are targeted while others are allowed to do
13:30
Speaker 2: as they wish.
13:31
Speaker 4: We saw this in COVID right, the two tiered policing
13:34
Speaker 4: system that the New South Wales I mean wasn't as
13:35
Speaker 4: bad as Victoria, but there were different rules that applied
13:38
Speaker 4: to different people. We saw that with the October nine
13:42
Speaker 4: so called protests, where I guarantee you if the shoe
13:44
Speaker 4: was on the other foot, the cops would have been
13:45
Speaker 4: there with batons and everything.
13:47
Speaker 5: So we unfortunately, we.
13:49
Speaker 4: Just can't have any I guess trust that this is
13:53
Speaker 4: going to be used in an impartial and equitable manner.
13:57
Speaker 2: And now we've got in New South Wales alone two
13:59
Speaker 2: hundred and police officers devoted to policing this, so I
14:03
Speaker 2: think we're going to see the impact fairly quickly. Daniel Wild,
14:07
Speaker 2: thank you so much for your time tonight.
14:08
Speaker 5: Thank you.
14:10
Speaker 2: Let's now go to New York City where police officers
14:13
Speaker 2: are being brazenly attacked by mobs who I think it's
14:17
Speaker 2: terrific fun to smash them with snowballs and eyes, aiming
14:21
Speaker 2: at their heads, hitting them straight in the face. Have
14:24
Speaker 2: a look at this and you think this sort of behavior,
14:43
Speaker 2: particularly when it results in injury, would see swift action,
14:47
Speaker 2: at the very least condemnation from the mayor. Instead, we
14:52
Speaker 2: got this from Zora and Mandani.
14:54
Speaker 6: From the videos that I've seen, it looks like a
14:56
Speaker 6: snowball fate. I think that there were two officers who
14:59
Speaker 6: were lacerations on.
15:01
Speaker 7: Their face of those who guilted them.
15:05
Speaker 6: Look, I've seen the videos of this snowball fight. I
15:07
Speaker 6: think that it was a snowball fight.
15:09
Speaker 2: Joining me now is host of the Ruben Report, Dave Reuben. Dave,
15:14
Speaker 2: what do you make of those scenes and the mayor's response?
15:19
Speaker 8: Well, I can't say I'm surprised by the scenes at all.
15:22
Speaker 8: New York City now allows a certain amount of mayhem.
15:25
Speaker 1: It is baked in.
15:26
Speaker 8: You can jump the turnstiles in the subway, you can
15:28
Speaker 8: take over streets and protest and violently attack people and
15:33
Speaker 8: everything else. What's incredible about this is these police officers.
15:37
Speaker 8: They're big dudes, and yet these people have no fear
15:40
Speaker 8: throwing snowballs at them. I used to live in New
15:43
Speaker 8: York City. I know exactly where this is. You know,
15:45
Speaker 8: I've been in many of those storms. That's not just
15:47
Speaker 8: soft little snow right there. There's often rocks, there's pellets,
15:52
Speaker 8: there's you know, shards of ice that absolutely could hurt somebody.
15:55
Speaker 8: It could take out an eye, et cetera, etc. But
15:58
Speaker 8: it's not really about that. What it's about is the
16:01
Speaker 8: slow degradation of everything that is normal in a society. Okay,
16:07
Speaker 8: you can just attack police officers because you feel like it.
16:10
Speaker 8: That was not a snowball fight. I've been in a
16:12
Speaker 8: lot of snowball fights in my day too. That's a
16:14
Speaker 8: two way thing. When you're just getting pelted with snowballs,
16:17
Speaker 8: that's not a snowball fight. That's an assault. I mean, look,
16:19
Speaker 8: if this had been a librarian going to work, or
16:22
Speaker 8: someone you know, pushing a stroller, or just anybody that
16:24
Speaker 8: was you know, I don't know, in New York City
16:26
Speaker 8: for tourism, not that they're doing so well with that
16:28
Speaker 8: these days, it would be assault. But it's obvious to
16:32
Speaker 8: me that Mom Dami wants more of this. You know,
16:35
Speaker 8: we already know that the New York City Police Department,
16:37
Speaker 8: they have had to lower the standards to get new
16:41
Speaker 8: recruits because people don't.
16:42
Speaker 1: Want to work there anymore.
16:44
Speaker 8: It was once the most elite police force in the world,
16:46
Speaker 8: but now they don't have the backing of the administration.
16:49
Speaker 1: And those guys.
16:50
Speaker 8: Who are huge dudes, who could easily take out any
16:52
Speaker 8: of those people, they're afraid to do anything because then
16:56
Speaker 8: they'll be called racist. Of course, then they'll be plastered
16:58
Speaker 8: all over the paper and every anything else. So it's
17:01
Speaker 8: a really toxic situation right now in New York City.
17:05
Speaker 2: You talk about slow degradation, Let's have a look at
17:08
Speaker 2: how fast the Democrats are devolving. This is the response
17:12
Speaker 2: from the previous Democrat Mayor, Eric Adams to the violence
17:16
Speaker 2: and disrespect directed at police. He wrote, watching officers get
17:20
Speaker 2: pelted with snow while they are out in brutal weather
17:23
Speaker 2: protecting this city should make every New Yorker furists. It
17:27
Speaker 2: is disgusting behavior, and the politicians who constantly bashed the
17:32
Speaker 2: police and refuse to have their backs are setting a
17:34
Speaker 2: terrible example. Leadership matters, tone matters. All elected officials must
17:39
Speaker 2: speak out and make it clear that attacks on our
17:42
Speaker 2: offices in any form will not stand back the police
17:46
Speaker 2: full stop. You compare that Dave to what we just
17:50
Speaker 2: heard from Mayor man Dani. It was a snowball fight,
17:54
Speaker 2: as if the police were also pelting these mobs with snowballs,
17:58
Speaker 2: and it was all just good fun and mad Donnie's
18:03
Speaker 2: form in this area. He has been vehemently anti police
18:06
Speaker 2: in the past. So he did soften his tone in
18:09
Speaker 2: the election campaign.
18:12
Speaker 8: Well, we're getting the reality now, right. They always soften
18:14
Speaker 8: their tone in the election campaign. But you can go
18:16
Speaker 8: back to his old you can go back to a
18:18
Speaker 8: decade of his old tweets talking about defunding the police
18:21
Speaker 8: and everything else, and he wants a impotent, inept New
18:24
Speaker 8: York City Police department. I honestly believe he wants to
18:28
Speaker 8: crash the city economically, socially, culturally, and every which way.
18:33
Speaker 8: Whether that's to usher in Sharia law or his version
18:36
Speaker 8: of communism or a little bit of both. I don't
18:37
Speaker 8: know the exact intent that he has, but I think
18:40
Speaker 8: every action that he takes going forward will be to
18:44
Speaker 8: harm the lives of the average New York City citizen.
18:48
Speaker 8: But I would say this about Eric Adams. You know,
18:50
Speaker 8: it's sort of like Bruce Willis in Diehard Welcome to
18:53
Speaker 8: the Party, Pal. I mean you also instituted a lot
18:55
Speaker 8: of these policies. You didn't back the police when they
18:58
Speaker 8: should have been backed or at least allowed, for the
19:02
Speaker 8: sanctuary city stuff in New York City and for people
19:05
Speaker 8: to jump turnstiles without penalty and everything else. So it's
19:07
Speaker 8: nice that he's saying the right things now, but it's.
19:10
Speaker 1: A little late. He's not the mayor anymore.
19:14
Speaker 2: Exactly what it mattered, he was pretty weak now, Man.
19:18
Speaker 2: Donnie's not only been anti police, he's even spoken about
19:22
Speaker 2: and quite recently about wanting to abolish ICE.
19:27
Speaker 9: Well, mister Mayor, in light of recent events, there have
19:29
Speaker 9: been renewed calls from prominent Democrats to abolish ICE. I
19:32
Speaker 9: want to know where you come down on abolishing ICE,
19:34
Speaker 9: and if you believe the ICE has any legitimate law enforcement.
19:37
Speaker 6: Role, you know I am in support of abolishing ICE,
19:40
Speaker 6: and I'll tell you why, because.
19:42
Speaker 10: What we've.
19:47
Speaker 6: What we see is an entity that has no interest
19:50
Speaker 6: in fulfilling its stated reason to exist. We're seeing a
19:54
Speaker 6: government agency that is supposed to be enforcing some kind
19:58
Speaker 6: of immigration law, but instead what it's doing is terrorizing people,
20:01
Speaker 6: no matter their immigration status, no matter the facts of
20:04
Speaker 6: the law, no matter the facts of the case.
20:06
Speaker 1: How do you.
20:07
Speaker 2: See that Dave is ice no longer fit for purpose?
20:12
Speaker 8: No, but he's fit to be on the View because
20:15
Speaker 8: much like all of those harpies, he said everything that
20:18
Speaker 8: he came out of his mouth was a lie. So
20:20
Speaker 8: he's a perfect ohs, throw a wig on him and
20:22
Speaker 8: give him a gig.
20:24
Speaker 1: No.
20:24
Speaker 8: Their stated purpose is to get illegals out of the
20:28
Speaker 8: United States, and that's exactly what they are doing. By
20:31
Speaker 8: the way, they're doing it much slower than progressive leader
20:35
Speaker 8: Barack Obama ever did. Trump has only deported about seven
20:39
Speaker 8: hundred thousand people.
20:40
Speaker 1: I wish it was many more. Now.
20:42
Speaker 8: Have there been a few incidences where they've temporarily detained
20:46
Speaker 8: people who shouldn't have been Yes, but there is.
20:48
Speaker 1: No perfect system.
20:49
Speaker 8: And if you're going to harbor people, if you're going
20:51
Speaker 8: to hire people hide people that are illegal, et cetera,
20:54
Speaker 8: et cetera, then you might temporarily get in trouble too.
20:58
Speaker 8: But the idea that they're out there intentionally terrorizing people
21:01
Speaker 8: or anything else is completely absurd. And by the way, Rita,
21:05
Speaker 8: I know you're as keen viewer of the View as
21:07
Speaker 8: I am. Why is it that they never do shows
21:09
Speaker 8: about Lake and Riley. Why is it that they never
21:11
Speaker 8: do shows about Joshua Wilkerson or any of the people,
21:15
Speaker 8: usually young people who have been killed by illegal immigrants.
21:18
Speaker 8: They never shed any tears for them. But somehow when
21:22
Speaker 8: there are people who are here illegally, whether they are
21:24
Speaker 8: committing other crimes or not is irrelevant. If you are
21:27
Speaker 8: here illegally, you've got to go Rita. I saw you
21:30
Speaker 8: in Australia not too long ago. If I had overstayed
21:33
Speaker 8: my visa and just decided I'm just making you know,
21:36
Speaker 8: I'm just going to stay in Sydney forever.
21:38
Speaker 1: That's it for me.
21:38
Speaker 8: I'm staying and someone would have found me, they would
21:40
Speaker 8: have kicked me out, and it would have been their
21:42
Speaker 8: right to do it. It's obvious. But they are not
21:47
Speaker 8: going to stop. It's as simple as that. They are
21:48
Speaker 8: not going to stop. They are trying to import voters.
21:52
Speaker 2: That and the View also never spends any time talking
21:57
Speaker 2: about the riperts, the murderers, the head of files who
22:01
Speaker 2: have been deported in the past twelve months. They just don't.
22:05
Speaker 2: They have absolutely zero interest in that. I don't think
22:08
Speaker 2: did they even speak about the murder rate in the
22:11
Speaker 2: US dropping by around twenty percent, the biggest single year drop.
22:15
Speaker 2: You would think there would be a source of some
22:17
Speaker 2: happy news that could be sharing with their miserable audience.
22:20
Speaker 2: Now we're going to have some happy news because the
22:23
Speaker 2: victorious members of the American ice hockey team, fresh from
22:28
Speaker 2: defeating arch rivals Canada to win Olympic gold, they were
22:31
Speaker 2: in Miami and they were hitting the clubs and seeing
22:34
Speaker 2: the anthem Dave. This team has copped so much vitriol
22:58
Speaker 2: for being proud of their country, for having Cash Pattel
23:02
Speaker 2: celebrate with them, for accepting an invitation from the President
23:06
Speaker 2: to be at the State of the Union address. Some
23:08
Speaker 2: of the reaction from so called Americans. I say so
23:12
Speaker 2: called because they seem to hate their country and hate
23:15
Speaker 2: anybody who loves the country.
23:18
Speaker 8: I have to say read, I'm so proud that that's
23:20
Speaker 8: in my hometown now of Miami, And that tells you
23:23
Speaker 8: the difference between Miami and New York City. We celebrate
23:27
Speaker 8: our heroes, while in New York City they're pelting.
23:29
Speaker 1: Them with ice.
23:31
Speaker 8: Look, hockey is not even that important to Americans, it
23:34
Speaker 8: really is, and it's not in our top ten sports.
23:37
Speaker 8: We just kind of do it for fun occasionally, but
23:39
Speaker 8: These kids are phenomenal, every single one of them. You
23:42
Speaker 8: watch these interviews and they talk about their love of America,
23:46
Speaker 8: they talk about their love of sport, how they're doing
23:48
Speaker 8: it for the next generation. It was almost like two
23:51
Speaker 8: perfect in every which way, these guys. And the fact
23:55
Speaker 8: that some people are upset that they're waving the American flag.
23:58
Speaker 8: I mean that kid that I kind of picture that
24:01
Speaker 8: kid with the Jack Hughes with the busted teeth, blood
24:04
Speaker 8: drifven out of his mouth and he's got a huge
24:06
Speaker 8: smile in the American flag. It's so absolutely beautiful and
24:10
Speaker 8: what this is all about. And by the way, you know,
24:13
Speaker 8: one of the things about being in a free country
24:15
Speaker 8: is that you can criticize the country.
24:17
Speaker 1: But if you.
24:18
Speaker 8: Are going to represent your country in the Olympics, and
24:21
Speaker 8: then you're going to as some of the other Olympians did,
24:24
Speaker 8: some of the snowboarders, etc. Then you're going to you know,
24:27
Speaker 8: basically talk crap about your country while you are there.
24:31
Speaker 1: Maybe you should find another gig.
24:34
Speaker 2: Maybe you should. And I did note yesterday that a
24:38
Speaker 2: lot of those virtue signaling Olympians who were talking about
24:42
Speaker 2: being conflicted about representing America, they didn't do so well,
24:46
Speaker 2: there weren't too many gold medals that were coming in
24:48
Speaker 2: tenth and thirteenth and yeah, they weren't anywhere near the podium.
24:53
Speaker 2: So anyway, that's a discussion for a now today. But
24:56
Speaker 2: you mentioned Jack Hughes. He scored the edible overtime goal
25:01
Speaker 2: that gave Team USA the men's gold medal at the
25:04
Speaker 2: Winter Olympics. Let's hear from him.
25:07
Speaker 1: We're just we're athletes.
25:08
Speaker 11: We're so proud to represent the US and you get
25:11
Speaker 11: the chance to go to the White House and meet
25:13
Speaker 11: the President. You know, we're proud to be Americans, and
25:15
Speaker 11: you know that's so patriotic.
25:17
Speaker 1: So no matter where your.
25:18
Speaker 11: Views are, we're super excited to go.
25:21
Speaker 2: How do you thought about the women not going?
25:23
Speaker 11: Everyone's given a backlash for all the social media stuff today,
25:26
Speaker 11: but it's so negative. People are so negative out there,
25:30
Speaker 11: and they're trying to find a reason to just like
25:32
Speaker 11: put people down and make like make something out of
25:35
Speaker 11: almost nothing.
25:38
Speaker 2: Dave, this should not be controversial. Of course, any normal
25:42
Speaker 2: sporting team made up of normal people would seize the honor.
25:47
Speaker 2: But the women's team were invited and they weren't there.
25:51
Speaker 2: Today at the State of the Union, you.
25:53
Speaker 8: Know, it's so sad, and it's such a condemnation of
25:56
Speaker 8: what has happened in you know, sort of modern way
26:00
Speaker 8: stern society.
26:01
Speaker 1: That you can live the.
26:02
Speaker 8: Freest, most prosperous, wonderful life, you can play sport for
26:06
Speaker 8: a living, which virtually anyone would love to do, and
26:09
Speaker 8: that you still wouldn't be proud enough, or you'd be
26:12
Speaker 8: you'd be so angry at Donald Trump for whatever reason,
26:15
Speaker 8: that you wouldn't show up to the White House when
26:17
Speaker 8: you were representing.
26:18
Speaker 1: The United States.
26:19
Speaker 8: It's just so profoundly absurd. But you know, the really
26:22
Speaker 8: twisted part of this is that because everything is so
26:25
Speaker 8: polarized politically these days, everyone's making it seem like this
26:28
Speaker 8: kid Jack and all the other young guys on the
26:31
Speaker 8: team that they're all because they're pro America, they're somehow conservative,
26:35
Speaker 8: and it's like, I don't know any of their political views.
26:37
Speaker 8: I have no idea what he thinks about abortion or
26:40
Speaker 8: tax rates or anything. What I do know is he
26:42
Speaker 8: loves America, and ironically, that's what Donald Trump now represents.
26:47
Speaker 8: So the more you go after these extraordinary young people
26:51
Speaker 8: who are doing incredible athletic feats, the more you're making
26:55
Speaker 8: it the more you're showing the average person it's you
26:57
Speaker 8: who is ridiculous, not them.
27:00
Speaker 2: Well, I think in America as increasingly right here in Australia,
27:05
Speaker 2: if you see someone who's proud of their flag, perhaps
27:08
Speaker 2: has the flag flying at their home, which is far
27:11
Speaker 2: more prevalent in the US than it is here, you
27:14
Speaker 2: can kind of guess their politics these days because the
27:17
Speaker 2: left aren't proud of their country, they're not proud of
27:20
Speaker 2: the West, that they're almost self loathing when it comes
27:23
Speaker 2: to their own countries. Before you go, I want to
27:27
Speaker 2: ask you about what happened in Florida, the deadly incident
27:31
Speaker 2: at Mara Lago. It's been considered by many as a
27:34
Speaker 2: possible assassination attempt. Certainly looks that way. But this incident,
27:39
Speaker 2: and it would be the third assassination attempt in the
27:42
Speaker 2: past twenty months against Donald Trump, it's barely getting any coverage.
27:46
Speaker 2: How can that be, Dave? How can something this monumental
27:50
Speaker 2: not be dominating the front pages and leading the news.
27:55
Speaker 8: Yeah, I think that's really the right question, Rita. You know,
27:57
Speaker 8: these things become normalized over time. My friend Charlie Kirk
28:01
Speaker 8: was killed not too long ago, as you rightly point out.
28:04
Speaker 8: You know, there have been several assassination attempts on Donald Trump.
28:07
Speaker 8: This obviously was an assassination attempt, and it was somehow
28:11
Speaker 8: this kid apparently thought it had something to do with
28:14
Speaker 8: the Epstein files or something. You know, as time goes on,
28:18
Speaker 8: if you normalize violence, it will get normalized and normalize
28:21
Speaker 8: and normalize, and to bring this whole segment three sixty,
28:24
Speaker 8: it will have a snowball effect and more and more
28:26
Speaker 8: people will think that taking the law into their own
28:29
Speaker 8: hands will be the thing to do. And that's what's
28:31
Speaker 8: been just so disappointing in the you know, five or
28:34
Speaker 8: so months since Charlie was assassinated, which is, we had
28:36
Speaker 8: a chance in America, and I think we did it
28:39
Speaker 8: for maybe forty eight hours to put down some of
28:41
Speaker 8: the partisan stuff, let it go. But then the Democrats
28:44
Speaker 8: just decided not only to make Charlie's assassination partisan, but
28:48
Speaker 8: then defending the rule of law, which is exactly what
28:50
Speaker 8: Ice is doing partisan.
28:51
Speaker 1: They've decided to make the Olympics partisan.
28:54
Speaker 8: And then you get you know, young people like this kid,
28:57
Speaker 8: who are you know, kind of brain broken by algorithms
29:00
Speaker 8: and all the crap that they're seeing online. And they
29:03
Speaker 8: think it is then their duty to what kill the
29:06
Speaker 8: President of the United States to save the Republic.
29:09
Speaker 1: I mean, it's really crazy, Rita.
29:11
Speaker 8: I should also mention real quick that although you may
29:13
Speaker 8: not have enough Australian flags flying in Australia, after my
29:17
Speaker 8: trip to Australia, bought a bunch of stuffed koalas and
29:21
Speaker 8: kangaroos with Australian flags and they're all over my kids
29:24
Speaker 8: room right now. So we've got plenty representing for you
29:27
Speaker 8: here in Miami.
29:29
Speaker 2: I will bring over a kangaroo or a wallaby just
29:33
Speaker 2: to add to that. I'm going to be in Miami
29:34
Speaker 2: next week. Look forward to catching up. Thank you, Thank
29:37
Speaker 2: you so much for your time.
29:39
Speaker 1: Good to see Rita.
29:41
Speaker 2: Still to come. Lefties losing ad Plus, we take a
29:45
Speaker 2: comprehensive look at President Trump's State of the Union address.
29:50
Speaker 2: Army Horowitz is up next. You're watching the reader Paney
30:05
Speaker 2: his show, and it's time for left He's losing it now.
30:08
Speaker 2: We've already brought you footage this week of California Governor
30:12
Speaker 2: Gavin Newsom talking down to a black man, the mayor
30:16
Speaker 2: of Atlanta, assuming he must have a terrible sat score,
30:20
Speaker 2: and Gavin also claimed that he can't read good.
30:25
Speaker 1: I cannot.
30:26
Speaker 7: You've never seen me read a speech because I cannot
30:31
Speaker 7: read a speech.
30:32
Speaker 2: Well, Gavin Newsom is, with the help of the leftist media,
30:36
Speaker 2: pushing back hard against what his office calls MAGA manufactured
30:41
Speaker 2: outrage over those comments. He's even claiming that people are
30:45
Speaker 2: mocking his learning disability, his dyslexia. Well, I've got to
30:49
Speaker 2: say this, dyslexia seems to be rather selective.
30:53
Speaker 7: You've written a hell of a book and I don't
30:55
Speaker 7: see that lately. I went through it in a quick
30:59
Speaker 7: hour and a half, almost two hours, and trust me,
31:02
Speaker 7: I don't read very fast, but it reads at an
31:05
Speaker 7: unbelievable pace. It's so well written, and of course it's
31:09
Speaker 7: so familiar because I felt a little bit adjacent so
31:12
Speaker 7: much of the subject matter. But it's eighteen chapters. It's
31:15
Speaker 7: an impressive piece of work, two hundred and sixty three
31:19
Speaker 7: or so pages.
31:21
Speaker 2: Say what now, Gavin? The book is two hundred and
31:24
Speaker 2: sixty three pages long. The audio book alone is around
31:28
Speaker 2: ten hours, but you powered through it in a couple
31:32
Speaker 2: of hours with your crippling dyslexia. No less, This is
31:36
Speaker 2: just amazing. Also amazing is the levels of cringe Gavin
31:41
Speaker 2: is capable of. Watch this video featuring pddy protege Usha.
31:48
Speaker 1: Well that you need to see.
31:49
Speaker 10: Let the cottage on your.
31:52
Speaker 2: Stretched down the Hotel California. Now to the main streets
31:59
Speaker 2: of Portland and watch here as a woman doing good
32:03
Speaker 2: finds that her help is not appreciated, not one bit.
32:08
Speaker 12: You all right, hy okay, y yep, we're okay, all right,
32:26
Speaker 12: stop stop stop stop.
32:34
Speaker 2: Yes, the men have to step in and stop her
32:37
Speaker 2: man handling Tara. And he must be said that that
32:41
Speaker 2: woman is doing plenty of good in the lefty heartland
32:45
Speaker 2: of Portland. She's not some lefty virtue signal. She's actually
32:48
Speaker 2: doing good work in helping people and showing how backward
32:52
Speaker 2: communist policies cause so much damage. But it's clear this
32:56
Speaker 2: homeless woman does not want to be helped, not one bit.
33:03
Speaker 1: Put my head because.
33:08
Speaker 2: Would you like to keep one of these?
33:10
Speaker 1: Oh my god, would you like a cigarette?
33:12
Speaker 4: You need it?
33:13
Speaker 6: All right?
33:14
Speaker 1: Would you like a cigarette? Thank you? You need this?
33:18
Speaker 2: I'm okay, you're dying.
33:20
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, you're dying.
33:25
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, where are you annoyed?
33:31
Speaker 5: Now?
33:31
Speaker 2: Before the State of the Union address, President Trump got
33:34
Speaker 2: a special treat courtesy of the triumphant American hockey team,
33:39
Speaker 2: and a trigger warning here for TEDS sufferers. The next
33:42
Speaker 2: fifteen seconds is going to be tough.
33:46
Speaker 13: I'm never I'm not giving it back.
33:55
Speaker 14: That's cool.
34:00
Speaker 2: Let's now look at the key moments of today's State
34:03
Speaker 2: of the Union address. Let's bring in Armi Horowitz, documentary
34:07
Speaker 2: filmmaker and commentator. Armie, what did you make of the speech?
34:12
Speaker 2: It was certainly long, and he started off on a
34:15
Speaker 2: strong note talking about the golden age of America.
34:19
Speaker 14: My fellow Americans, our nation is back, bigger, better, richer,
34:24
Speaker 14: and stronger than ever before. Less than five months from now,
34:34
Speaker 14: our country will celebrate an epic milestone in American history,
34:38
Speaker 14: the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of our glorious American Independence.
34:45
Speaker 14: This July fourth, we will mark two and a half
34:48
Speaker 14: centuries of liberty and triumph, progress and freedom in the
34:52
Speaker 14: most incredible and exceptional nation ever to exist on the
34:55
Speaker 14: face of the earth. And you've seen nothing yet. We're
34:59
Speaker 14: going to do better, better, and better. This is the
35:01
Speaker 14: Golden Age.
35:02
Speaker 2: Of America, Ami Horowitz, how did he stop the spaege?
35:06
Speaker 2: What did you make of today's State of the Union.
35:10
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, look, the first thing of note was
35:14
Speaker 3: obviously the length. I mean that thing went double the
35:18
Speaker 3: average of the state of the unions the last twenty
35:21
Speaker 3: five years. Right, he touched two hours. So if you
35:25
Speaker 3: are the Calshi markets and you picked the over on that,
35:28
Speaker 3: you are in the money. So yeah, let's start with that.
35:32
Speaker 3: And look, you know there's bad Trump, good Trump, and
35:36
Speaker 3: this was basically all good Trump, particularly when he's gotten
35:40
Speaker 3: you know, we got a teleprompter. It was a great speech,
35:44
Speaker 3: written really well. He got all the hits. I think
35:47
Speaker 3: he did a great job listing all of the successes
35:52
Speaker 3: and the many wins that he has. And yeah, I
35:57
Speaker 3: thought that it was it was great, did a great job.
36:01
Speaker 2: Well, there's always an attention seeker, and this year it
36:05
Speaker 2: was again. Al Grady did a walk out of the speech.
36:10
Speaker 2: Some Democrats didn't even show up, but Al showed up
36:13
Speaker 2: and walked out early, carrying a banner saying black people
36:17
Speaker 2: aren't apes. And I don't know, I don't think this
36:20
Speaker 2: attention seeking work this year. Amy, what did you make
36:34
Speaker 2: of that stunt?
36:36
Speaker 3: Yeah? Al, let's stay to get the green as always
36:42
Speaker 3: on que beginning the night getting.
36:44
Speaker 5: Tossed out right.
36:46
Speaker 3: It's like at the beginning of every single season, the
36:49
Speaker 3: state of the union's al green. The standing union does
36:51
Speaker 3: not start till algren is tossed out right. Look, the
36:57
Speaker 3: Democrats are so performative. Oh my god, Like that was
37:00
Speaker 3: the story of the state of the Union, right, if
37:02
Speaker 3: we're really gonna look, I think that's what most of
37:04
Speaker 3: the commentaries are be talking about, is the the pre
37:09
Speaker 3: horrific behavior of the Democratic Party.
37:13
Speaker 1: Look, I know they usually sit on their hands.
37:15
Speaker 3: I know the other party, whoever the president gave the speech,
37:18
Speaker 3: the opposing party mostly sits on their hands. But let
37:21
Speaker 3: me tell you, the president led them into a trap,
37:25
Speaker 3: and they walked right into it. Okay, I mean they
37:29
Speaker 3: did again. One props for one thing when when the
37:33
Speaker 3: hockey team came out, most of them stood up. I
37:36
Speaker 3: appreciate that, right, But for the most part he led
37:40
Speaker 3: them into trap after trap. They could not stand up
37:44
Speaker 3: and applaud when they're talking about this country is for
37:48
Speaker 3: America's citizens.
37:49
Speaker 8: They were quiet on that.
37:51
Speaker 3: They could not applaud when he said we had to
37:54
Speaker 3: stop transing children. Okay, they couldn't do it. And of
37:58
Speaker 3: course the worst behavior was for elan Omar.
38:01
Speaker 8: I mean, it was.
38:02
Speaker 3: She was so despicable and disgusting. I'm sorry to use
38:06
Speaker 3: those heavy words, but it was true. I don't know
38:08
Speaker 3: if people caught it. Okay, there may be talking about
38:11
Speaker 3: it tomorrow, but when they were chanting Usa, USA, she
38:16
Speaker 3: was chanting kkk K in other words, referring to USA
38:21
Speaker 3: as a country to KKK. And it seems like she
38:25
Speaker 3: also said to Trump, you're a sick f Okay. It
38:30
Speaker 3: was so deplorable her behavior, and I think that's what's
38:34
Speaker 3: really gonna stand out for this look he he said.
38:37
Speaker 3: I don't I generally do not like when the present slams.
38:42
Speaker 3: I've talked about before. I don't like that kind of
38:43
Speaker 3: behavior for the most part. But he really handled it
38:47
Speaker 3: just right. And they just walked into the trap.
38:52
Speaker 2: And Congresswoman Talaby, who was sitting next to Elano Oma,
38:55
Speaker 2: she was wearing an f I S badge. I mean
38:59
Speaker 2: that talk about Trump not being presidential, but you look
39:03
Speaker 2: at the way the Democrats are behaving, and there was
39:06
Speaker 2: a really disgraceful incident that I'm going to touch on
39:09
Speaker 2: in a minute. But you mentioned the American ice hockey team.
39:13
Speaker 2: They beat their arch rivals Canada to win gold at
39:16
Speaker 2: the Winter Olympics, and they got an amazing ovation. Let's
39:20
Speaker 2: have a look, you're.
39:21
Speaker 10: Going to win again. You're going to win big, You're
39:24
Speaker 10: going to win bigger than ever. And to prove that point,
39:28
Speaker 10: to prove that point here with us tonight. It is
39:31
Speaker 10: a group of winners who just made the entire nation proud.
39:35
Speaker 10: The men's gold medal Olympic.
39:39
Speaker 13: Hockey team, come on, that's the first time I've ever
40:14
Speaker 13: seen them get up, and actually not all of them
40:18
Speaker 13: did get up, but they beat a fantastic Canadian team
40:23
Speaker 13: in overtime as everybody so, as did the American women
40:27
Speaker 13: who will soon be coming to.
40:28
Speaker 1: The White House.
40:30
Speaker 2: Ah. That was one of the high points of the
40:33
Speaker 2: state of the Union. And the goalie in that team, Connor,
40:37
Speaker 2: is going to get the Presidential Medal of Freedom. All
40:40
Speaker 2: the players in the team said he deserves an army.
40:44
Speaker 2: So it was good to have at least one moment
40:47
Speaker 2: when the country came together.
40:50
Speaker 3: It was a great moment I got. You know, I'm
40:52
Speaker 3: a sports fan. One of my great sports regrets is
40:56
Speaker 3: I taped the game. I didn't watch it, and I
40:59
Speaker 3: was about to watch, and I got spoiled on the
41:02
Speaker 3: score and I didn't watch the game. I gotta tell
41:04
Speaker 3: you one of my great regressive life sports wise, it
41:08
Speaker 3: was awful that I missed that game. Yeah, I did
41:10
Speaker 3: watch the highlights. Absolutely phenomenal beat the Canadians. And by
41:14
Speaker 3: the way, you know the Canadians, there are a lot
41:16
Speaker 3: of Canadians who were saying, I'd rather win silver and
41:20
Speaker 3: be still be Canadian. What a weird take on that, right,
41:24
Speaker 3: What a weird.
41:25
Speaker 2: Political loser take. It's a loser type think. That's what
41:30
Speaker 2: that is.
41:30
Speaker 1: You're so right, you're so right.
41:34
Speaker 2: You got in your own sport and that is your response.
41:38
Speaker 2: I mean, that's why you're not Gold medalist. Army, stay
41:41
Speaker 2: with me. I'm going to take a quick break and
41:43
Speaker 2: then we're going to look at the two most disgraceful
41:46
Speaker 2: moments out of today's State of the Union address. Welcome back.
41:58
Speaker 2: I'm with Army Horror, and we're looking at the key
42:01
Speaker 2: moments out of the State of the Union address. And
42:04
Speaker 2: let's look at this moment, which I think for a
42:06
Speaker 2: lot of people will be one of the most memorable.
42:09
Speaker 14: One of the great things about the State of the
42:11
Speaker 14: Union is how it gives Americans the chance to see
42:15
Speaker 14: clearly what their representatives really believe. So tonight, I'm inviting
42:21
Speaker 14: every legislature to join with my administration and reaffirming a
42:25
Speaker 14: fundamental principle. If you agree with this statement, then stand
42:30
Speaker 14: up and show your support. The first duty of the
42:34
Speaker 14: American government is to protect American citizens, not illegal areas.
42:57
Speaker 1: In that shame.
42:58
Speaker 14: You should be ashamed of yourself not standing up.
43:01
Speaker 1: He should be ashamed of yourself.
43:04
Speaker 2: Amy, you talked about President Trump setting traps and the
43:08
Speaker 2: Democrats falling into them. That was a very obvious one.
43:11
Speaker 2: How do you not stand up for a statement as
43:14
Speaker 2: obvious as the duty of the American government is to
43:19
Speaker 2: protect American citizens.
43:22
Speaker 1: Honestly, because I'm not sure they believe it. I gotta
43:25
Speaker 1: be honest.
43:25
Speaker 3: I mean, that's kind of the core the problem the
43:27
Speaker 3: Democratic Party right like, they're standing up for illegals. They're
43:32
Speaker 3: literally having people protect criminal illegal never mind regular legals,
43:37
Speaker 3: criminal illegal aliens across.
43:40
Speaker 1: These blue cities where they're not.
43:41
Speaker 3: This is where the whole problem stem from, where they're
43:43
Speaker 3: not allowing ice to go to prisons to get illegals
43:49
Speaker 3: who are committed crime. But that's the whole that's the
43:51
Speaker 3: whole problem with the exact party now Okay, now I'll
43:54
Speaker 3: say this, what he has, what he did, a masterful job,
43:57
Speaker 3: and forget the trap that obviously he did. But he
44:00
Speaker 3: was Look, we talked about this. He was able to
44:02
Speaker 3: reframe the immigration debate with that. Okay, what I mean
44:06
Speaker 3: by that is when he closed the borders, right, no
44:11
Speaker 3: one's coming in, He's winning the immigration debate. Then he
44:14
Speaker 3: has the problem that this optics problem of going into
44:17
Speaker 3: home depots and in Minneapolis and the shootings, and now
44:22
Speaker 3: there was a problem.
44:23
Speaker 5: He was losing the US people.
44:25
Speaker 3: And the last poll done was showing that the Republican Party,
44:29
Speaker 3: which was their strength and immigration, it was President Trump's
44:32
Speaker 3: strength was now underwater on who do you trust to
44:36
Speaker 3: handle immigration? And what he did by this was saying
44:39
Speaker 3: was he brought it back to his strength and say, look,
44:42
Speaker 3: we are here to close the borders. We are here
44:45
Speaker 3: for an America to service Americans and not illegals. And
44:49
Speaker 3: the Democrats just could not do it. They had to
44:53
Speaker 3: have an own goal and sit on their hands with
44:56
Speaker 3: that most obvious statement. Right, it was an obvious trap.
45:00
Speaker 3: They still walked into it because, like I said, it's
45:02
Speaker 3: kind of the ethos the Democratic Party.
45:06
Speaker 2: How you don't stand up for that in an election year.
45:10
Speaker 2: We got the midterms coming up. I mean, you could
45:12
Speaker 2: just play that footage in an election ad. And so
45:16
Speaker 2: these are the Democrats. They don't think their first duty
45:19
Speaker 2: is to protect American citizens. But the most disgraceful moment
45:24
Speaker 2: for me was when President Trump was talking about Irena Zaruska.
45:30
Speaker 2: Her parents were there, her grieving parents, and he paid
45:34
Speaker 2: tribute to her. And the Democrats couldn't even stand for
45:39
Speaker 2: the grieving parents of this young woman.
45:42
Speaker 14: Last summer, twenty three year old Irena was riding home
45:45
Speaker 14: on the train when a deranged monster who had been
45:50
Speaker 14: arrested over a dozen times and was released through no
45:53
Speaker 14: cash bail, stood up and viciously slashed a knife through her.
45:58
Speaker 6: Neck and body.
46:00
Speaker 14: No one will ever forget there were people on that train.
46:04
Speaker 14: No one will ever forget the expression of terror on
46:08
Speaker 14: IRENA's face as she looked up at her attacker. In
46:11
Speaker 14: the last seconds of her life. She died instantly. She
46:15
Speaker 14: had escaped a brutal war, only to be slain by
46:17
Speaker 14: a hardened criminal set free to kill in America, came
46:22
Speaker 14: in through open borders. Missus Zaretska. Tonight, I promise you
46:27
Speaker 14: we will ensure justice for your magnificent daughter, Irena. How
46:55
Speaker 14: do you not stand how do you not stand.
47:00
Speaker 2: Paid what the president said? How did they not stand
47:03
Speaker 2: for that? How did they not stand up for a
47:05
Speaker 2: grieving mother when the president's paying tribute to her daughter.
47:10
Speaker 2: I just I just don't get that. What political advantage
47:14
Speaker 2: is there in that?
47:16
Speaker 3: And if you notice the the Erica kirk on the side,
47:19
Speaker 3: the empathy from Erica Kirklis poor woman after her husband
47:22
Speaker 3: was murdered. You know, she said, you can hear mother words,
47:25
Speaker 3: you know, bless you caring for this woman after she's
47:28
Speaker 3: there a greeting for her husband. Yeah, no, it's just
47:33
Speaker 3: it's it's confounding.
47:35
Speaker 8: It truly truly is.
47:38
Speaker 3: And that wasn't that wasn't meant to be. I don't
47:40
Speaker 3: think that was meant to be a trap at all.
47:42
Speaker 3: I think that was just him acknowledging this woman. Look,
47:45
Speaker 3: you and I have talked about it. The incredible turnaround
47:48
Speaker 3: on crime in twenty twenty six, particularly in Washington, d C.
47:53
Speaker 3: But really around the country has been unbelievable. We haven't
47:57
Speaker 3: seen a drop like that in decades. And yeah, look
48:01
Speaker 3: I remember that. We all remember that moment where her
48:04
Speaker 3: daughter was murdered in the most heinous way. A guy
48:07
Speaker 3: who was let out of jailing number of times to
48:10
Speaker 3: commit this crime should have been.
48:11
Speaker 2: Been behind bars. Should have been behind bars. Absolutely, Ami Horowitz,
48:19
Speaker 2: thank you so much for your time tonight. It's been
48:21
Speaker 2: a pleasure going through the State of the Union with you.
48:24
Speaker 2: And that's it from me. Up next, it's Newsnight.
