Speaker 2: This is the Window Panety Show.
0:08
Speaker 3: Good evening and welcome to the Reda Panehy Show. Coming
0:10
Speaker 3: up tonight, Secret ministerial briefings reveal the truth about Victorious Treaty,
0:16
Speaker 3: including reparations for Indigenous Victorians. Patrick Carline and Colleen Harkin
0:22
Speaker 3: will join me to cover the day's top headlines. We
0:25
Speaker 3: look at Victoria's strict suppression laws that see the name
0:29
Speaker 3: of a high profile rapist suppressed. Legal expert Dustin Quile
0:34
Speaker 3: would be here to discuss that Kosher Gator will be
0:37
Speaker 3: here with the latest US news as well as an
0:39
Speaker 3: incredible case showing free speech is dead in the UK,
0:44
Speaker 3: and our favorite Texan Alex Stein will have all the
0:47
Speaker 3: news on Democrat Jasmine Crockett, who has just announced her
0:51
Speaker 3: candidacy for the US Senate and Left is losing its stars,
0:55
Speaker 3: the lead singer of Garbage losing her mind.
1:02
Speaker 4: And I want literally what I ask people to punch
1:05
Speaker 4: you with.
1:09
Speaker 3: But first, secret ministerial briefings have revealed Indigenous Victorians will
1:14
Speaker 3: be able to seek supercharged reparations through the state based treaty.
1:19
Speaker 3: Theenter Alan government fought to keep the briefings hidden until
1:23
Speaker 3: after the treaty legislation was passed through Parliament. The briefing
1:27
Speaker 3: says it is intended that the treaty pathway will be
1:30
Speaker 3: incentivized as the preferred option for traditional owners seeking recognition
1:36
Speaker 3: and reparations. Liberal MP David Davis said the Allen government
1:41
Speaker 3: fought for months against the release of the ministerial briefings
1:44
Speaker 3: to him under the freedom of information laws. He said,
1:48
Speaker 3: Labor always intended reparations to be part of this treaty,
1:52
Speaker 3: they just lied about it until it was passed. Joining
1:56
Speaker 3: me now for more on this is NEWSCORPS Senior writer
1:58
Speaker 3: Patrick Carline and Institute of Public Affairs Research fellow Colleen
2:02
Speaker 3: Harken Colleen. The briefing also revealed two Indigenous groups were
2:07
Speaker 3: recently awarded and estimated one hundred million dollars in settlement packages.
2:14
Speaker 5: Look, part of this is the whole story about what
2:17
Speaker 5: Victorians have never been told. So there is a thing
2:19
Speaker 5: called the Traditional on Settlement Act, and there is thousands
2:23
Speaker 5: and thousands of acres and millions of dollars that has
2:26
Speaker 5: already been paid out, paid out in what is effectively
2:29
Speaker 5: reparations by stealth. This has been kept quiet from the
2:33
Speaker 5: public on the basis that people kind of think that
2:36
Speaker 5: the treaty is a bit of a feel good, unifying moment,
2:39
Speaker 5: but actually what it is is incredibly opaque and disingenuous
2:43
Speaker 5: about what's actually going on. It's the traditional owner settlement
2:48
Speaker 5: scenario has gone under the radar for more, I think
2:51
Speaker 5: about fifteen years, and most Victorians have no clue about
2:55
Speaker 5: what's been going on. So the idea that the treaty
2:58
Speaker 5: is just sort of a symbol of unity is actually
3:01
Speaker 5: the opposite of what's going on.
3:02
Speaker 3: Oh, anyone who's bothered to actually look at the legislation,
3:07
Speaker 3: look at the documents that came before the legislation, it
3:10
Speaker 3: is very clear that this is a radical, radical body
3:15
Speaker 3: with a radical agenda. And Patrick today primag just into
3:19
Speaker 3: Alan delivered yet another apology to Indigenous Victorians in the parliament.
3:23
Speaker 6: Yes, that's right. I think Jeff Kennett first apologized back
3:26
Speaker 6: in nineteen ninety seven, so we could add up how
3:28
Speaker 6: many apologies, says But this treaty process, I mean, it's
3:32
Speaker 6: been by stealth the entire way that the Alan government's
3:36
Speaker 6: tried to separate the notion of the symbolism from the reparations.
3:40
Speaker 6: And here we have a document that directly links them together.
3:43
Speaker 6: There is no mandate for this, there's no mandate for reparations,
3:46
Speaker 6: especially after the Voice referendum last year. I mean, this
3:50
Speaker 6: is all happened in secret, and Victoria can't afford it.
3:53
Speaker 6: We can't afford anything at the moment. We can't afford
3:55
Speaker 6: hundreds and millions of dollars.
3:57
Speaker 3: We can't. We've got a state riddled with hothole's biggest
4:01
Speaker 3: debt in the country, at biggest debt of any state,
4:06
Speaker 3: land tax going through the roof, all sorts of property
4:08
Speaker 3: taxes and taxes on small businesses, medium sized businesses. I mean,
4:15
Speaker 3: the place is in dire straits and we're paying at
4:18
Speaker 3: one hundred million dollars in reparations. Kind of secretly incredible stuff. Now,
4:23
Speaker 3: let's talk about Anika Wells, Sports Minister has been found
4:27
Speaker 3: to have breached parliamentary rules after she failed to declare
4:31
Speaker 3: free tickets to multiple A List events. Of course, she's
4:34
Speaker 3: a communications minister as well. Yesterday and Anika Well's Parliamentary
4:39
Speaker 3: Register of members interests was updated to include tickets for
4:43
Speaker 3: herself and her husband to go to the AFL, RL
4:47
Speaker 3: and rl W Grand Finals. She also added free tickets
4:50
Speaker 3: to Oasis entry to the logis the list goes on.
4:54
Speaker 3: MPs are required to update the public Register within twenty
4:58
Speaker 3: eight days of receiving gift, gifts and hospitality, but it's
5:02
Speaker 3: been over a month since the Oasis concerts. All up,
5:06
Speaker 3: there nine declarations that should have been declared as far
5:10
Speaker 3: back as August. Colleen The Sydney Morning Herald yesterday revealed
5:16
Speaker 3: that Anika Wells charged tax payers almost one thousand dollars
5:20
Speaker 3: to have a government funded car wait seven hours for
5:23
Speaker 3: her while she watched the tennis while she attended the
5:27
Speaker 3: Australian Open back in twenty twenty three. Just the level
5:31
Speaker 3: of arrogance and entitlementia is astonishing.
5:36
Speaker 5: It shows complete contempt for constituents, really for the Australian taxpayer.
5:41
Speaker 5: You know, I look at Minister Wells and think that
5:43
Speaker 5: she's entirely on top of the perks, the girl with
5:46
Speaker 5: her job, not at all on top of her portfolio,
5:49
Speaker 5: because it wasn't very long ago with the optors outage,
5:52
Speaker 5: and she excused herself saying she'd only been in the
5:54
Speaker 5: position for six months, and in that almost that same
5:57
Speaker 5: week she was scouting off to New York for one
5:59
Speaker 5: hundred thousand dollar trip to do to Sprik, something she
6:02
Speaker 5: hasn't even done yet. So the social media band starts tomorrow.
6:06
Speaker 5: Nobody still knows how it's going to work. That's been challenged,
6:12
Speaker 5: whether it should happen at all. That conversation has never
6:14
Speaker 5: really been happened. And when someone else, when Roman Bishop
6:18
Speaker 5: did this for five thousand dollars, remember that choppergate, you
6:20
Speaker 5: know helicopter she resigned. I mean Anika Wells is like
6:26
Speaker 5: her lifestyle must be extraordinary on our dollar.
6:28
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, the kids are skiing in where does she
6:33
Speaker 3: go skiing? Perisher? Was it thereat threadbow on the taxpayer?
6:39
Speaker 3: They're attending Oasis concerts, they're attending cricket games, tennis football.
6:44
Speaker 3: I mean, it's a fairly nice lifestyle. Over ninety thousand
6:48
Speaker 3: dollars for three airfares to New York that I can't
6:51
Speaker 3: get over. Patrick the Primate has also got a ticket
6:55
Speaker 3: to Oasis, but he declared it within the required time.
6:58
Speaker 3: Surely if he can manage Attika Wells could manage it.
7:02
Speaker 7: Well.
7:02
Speaker 6: She's been to a lot of things to be fair,
7:04
Speaker 6: be hard to keep up with.
7:05
Speaker 3: The register friends birthdays to get that that was.
7:10
Speaker 6: The friend's birthday. Other labor politicians didn't claim expenses for that,
7:15
Speaker 6: and I mean she's obviously right across how to claim expenses.
7:19
Speaker 6: The problem is, if you look at Bronwin Bishop, if
7:21
Speaker 6: you look at Tony Burke, you look at to see
7:24
Speaker 6: where those stories went. They ended up apologizing, they ended
7:27
Speaker 6: up repaying it. Anka Wells could be repaying hundreds of
7:31
Speaker 6: thousands of dollars here and that might be the expectation.
7:34
Speaker 6: Is she going to repay it and that's where the
7:36
Speaker 6: story will move in the coming days.
7:38
Speaker 3: Well she says it's within the guidelines. The Prime Minister
7:43
Speaker 3: says it's within the guidelines. That's the defense here. But
7:46
Speaker 3: Bronwin Bishop's chopper ride was within the guidelines. It still
7:50
Speaker 3: cost her plenty, not just paying it back, but she
7:54
Speaker 3: had to step down. Now. It's not just Anika Wells.
7:58
Speaker 3: Don Farrell has also been into this saga. Through it
8:01
Speaker 3: was revealed he logged over two hundred publicly funded family
8:06
Speaker 3: reunion flights, including trips to two AFL deciders, three Australian
8:11
Speaker 3: Open matches, and also a sunset dinner at Ularu. Sounds delightful, Colleen, really,
8:17
Speaker 3: I mean, at this point they're just extracting the urine
8:19
Speaker 3: with ext it's too much great expression.
8:24
Speaker 5: By the way, Absolutely, look, we elect public officials, we
8:29
Speaker 5: don't elect the entire family. So I think any reasonable
8:33
Speaker 5: person would say, you know, maybe there's once a year
8:35
Speaker 5: or something, if you've been on an extended scenario, if
8:38
Speaker 5: you can't do the job and be away from your family,
8:40
Speaker 5: then don't do the job.
8:41
Speaker 3: Don't take the job. So you know, people are.
8:43
Speaker 5: Sort of excusing them while they're away from their family
8:45
Speaker 5: for a period of time, Well, just don't take the job.
8:47
Speaker 5: Like someone else who's able to focus on it, do it.
8:52
Speaker 5: You know, the amount of money that is spending being
8:54
Speaker 5: spent on family and friends essentially for these people to
8:56
Speaker 5: have amazing lifestyles is completely you know, it does not
9:00
Speaker 5: past the pub tech.
9:00
Speaker 3: No, it's not shouldn't be part of the deal. They
9:03
Speaker 3: are well paid, and you know, it's one thing to have,
9:08
Speaker 3: you know, perhaps during Christmas to have some sort of
9:11
Speaker 3: a family reunion flight covered, but to just constantly have
9:16
Speaker 3: companions at events, and particularly when they're Australian open events
9:22
Speaker 3: or oasis tickets or sunset dinners in ularu, it seems
9:27
Speaker 3: like you're in the job for the wrong reasons.
9:30
Speaker 6: Well, if you've got a concar waiting for you for
9:32
Speaker 6: seven hours while you watch the tenants, I mean, I
9:35
Speaker 6: think one hundred percent of Australia to say you're taking
9:38
Speaker 6: the pits, you really are that you cannot be serious.
9:41
Speaker 6: And I mean, look what will happen here. We'll see
9:44
Speaker 6: other politicians accused of spending this on this and having
9:48
Speaker 6: expenses there. It will just play out and the electric
9:51
Speaker 6: hates it, absolutely hates it.
9:53
Speaker 3: Do you think Anaka Wells can survive this? Let's forget
9:57
Speaker 3: about Don Farrell for a second, but the number of
10:00
Speaker 3: incidents with Anika Wells, it just seems that it's going
10:04
Speaker 3: to be something that the Prime Minister can't ignore, you'd.
10:08
Speaker 6: Think, so I don't think she can she should survive. Really,
10:11
Speaker 6: it is so off the charts. Compared to Bronwan Bishop
10:14
Speaker 6: or Tony Burke who had one sort of instance where
10:17
Speaker 6: they overstepped, there are twenty and there might be more coming.
10:22
Speaker 3: Out, and also failing to declare them in any sort
10:25
Speaker 3: of timely manner, making multiple updates yesterday colle Well.
10:30
Speaker 5: And there's also the seventeen hundred dollars dinner in France
10:34
Speaker 5: where she said that she fell asleep and had amusedly
10:36
Speaker 5: bar well, what was the seventeen hundred dollars spent on?
10:39
Speaker 5: I'm with you, Patrick, I don't think she should survive it.
10:42
Speaker 5: It doesn't pass any sort of reasonable test, and that
10:45
Speaker 5: word reasonable is in their charter to follow. So, whether
10:50
Speaker 5: you spend one hundred dollars on a bottle of wine,
10:52
Speaker 5: you know, maybe you can shim me that. But seventeen
10:54
Speaker 5: hundred dollars on a dinner for a couple of people,
10:56
Speaker 5: that doesn't pass anybody's test.
10:57
Speaker 3: No, and just the allowance she had per day for
11:01
Speaker 3: Paris was completely out of the realms of normality you
11:05
Speaker 3: would think. Now, let's talk about OnlyFans model Bonnie Blue.
11:09
Speaker 3: In fact, I don't think she's on only fans anymore.
11:11
Speaker 3: I think she got kicked off that platform. But she's
11:14
Speaker 3: facing up to fifteen years in an Indonesian prison after
11:18
Speaker 3: her arrest in Bali, but it's believed she maybe deported instead.
11:23
Speaker 3: Police I yet to release additional information following the arrest
11:27
Speaker 3: last week of the woman known as Bonnie Blue and
11:30
Speaker 3: seventeen male tourists on suspicion of breaching Indonesia's anti pornography laws.
11:36
Speaker 3: If prosecuted and found guilty. She faces up to fifteen
11:39
Speaker 3: years imprisonment and finds upwards of five hundred thousand. Colleen
11:44
Speaker 3: Philo Delano, a managing partner of the law firm in Jakata,
11:48
Speaker 3: says she's likely to be helped by an invisible hand,
11:52
Speaker 3: that's the expression, and will be deported instead. But I mean,
11:58
Speaker 3: I hope for her. That's true. People seem to forget
12:03
Speaker 3: Bali is part of Indonesia. It is a Muslim country.
12:06
Speaker 5: Yeah, there's a couple of things. So this it is
12:09
Speaker 5: a Muslim country, and it's showing a complete disrespect for
12:12
Speaker 5: you know, that country's values. It also, to me, is
12:16
Speaker 5: a question of if a guy was doing this, If
12:19
Speaker 5: this was a male who was out courting and trying
12:24
Speaker 5: to get very young males, very young girls on board,
12:27
Speaker 5: there would be outrage. And for some reason, this sort
12:30
Speaker 5: of me too movement doesn't apply to women. So you know,
12:33
Speaker 5: she's out there doing something that's completely reprehensible in a
12:37
Speaker 5: country that finds it reprehensible, and you know, nobody seems
12:42
Speaker 5: to worry too much about that. And if it was
12:43
Speaker 5: a male who was doing it, people would not be
12:45
Speaker 5: happy with it either.
12:46
Speaker 3: Oh, absolutely, And you know, we're not a Muslim country,
12:50
Speaker 3: but we find it reprehensible, so much so that she's banned.
12:53
Speaker 3: She wanted to pull these antiques on the Gold Coast
12:56
Speaker 3: during schoolies and film sex scenes with a bunch of
13:00
Speaker 3: barely legal young men, and Australian authority said no, thank you,
13:05
Speaker 3: and she's gone to Ballei instead. Seems like a fairly
13:08
Speaker 3: poor decision.
13:09
Speaker 6: Well, I did some research on this earlier today.
13:11
Speaker 3: I bet you did.
13:13
Speaker 6: There was a well worn path of porn stars going
13:15
Speaker 6: to Ballei, and because it's forbidden to do those things
13:19
Speaker 6: in Bali, and so the publicity it generates is massive
13:23
Speaker 6: as worldwide on this life. So I think the publicity
13:26
Speaker 6: was a massive sort of draw card for doing this
13:28
Speaker 6: in the first place. She'll probably get deported at some point.
13:31
Speaker 6: She's languishing in jail for god knows how long, and.
13:35
Speaker 3: It wouldn't be pleasant to be any sort of Ballei preson.
13:38
Speaker 3: It's not exactly like our system here, but just more broadly, Patrick,
13:43
Speaker 3: I'm sure you're aware of this character has one of
13:48
Speaker 3: the most recognizable names in the world right now. It
13:50
Speaker 3: seems astonishing the fame she's been able to achieve and
13:54
Speaker 3: the money she's amassed from doing what she does. Most
13:57
Speaker 3: of what she does I can't even describe when a
13:59
Speaker 3: family friendly program like this, But is that speak of
14:05
Speaker 3: a societal issue? Are we fairly seek as a society
14:09
Speaker 3: that a characterized.
14:10
Speaker 6: Has always been a market for this kind of things?
14:12
Speaker 3: There since this matter? This is like.
14:15
Speaker 6: She's weaponized it in a monetary way that is unprecedented.
14:20
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's that it seems to be that sort of
14:23
Speaker 3: porn culture Colline, but on steroids.
14:26
Speaker 5: Yeah, completely, And she knows exactly what she's doing. She
14:30
Speaker 5: has monetized sexual activity.
14:33
Speaker 3: And it is this.
14:34
Speaker 5: You know, I'm a bit of a libertarian, So on
14:37
Speaker 5: the one hand, it's everybody's business what they do, but
14:39
Speaker 5: that's actually not what's She's not doing it privately. I
14:42
Speaker 5: think that's part of this component, is that she has
14:44
Speaker 5: commercialized it in a way and a very targeted audience
14:49
Speaker 5: that barely old enough to know, you know, how she's manipulated.
14:53
Speaker 3: And it's normalizing I think, levels of depravity that perhaps
14:59
Speaker 3: shouldn't be normalized. And it's one thing to do things
15:01
Speaker 3: in private, but like you said, this isn't private at all, Patrick,
15:05
Speaker 3: Carla and Colleen Harken thank you so much for your time.
15:09
Speaker 3: A county court jury has found a man from a
15:12
Speaker 3: high profile Victorian family guilty of raping a woman in
15:15
Speaker 3: twenty twenty four. Suppression orders have prevented the media naming
15:20
Speaker 3: this man and publishing details about his well known family.
15:24
Speaker 3: The whole case has been shrouded in secrecies since the
15:28
Speaker 3: charges were laid last year. The suppression orders in place
15:32
Speaker 3: have also covered the man's girlfriend and his friend, who
15:35
Speaker 3: were both witnesses in the trial. Joining me now is
15:39
Speaker 3: one of Australia's most experienced media law practitioners and partner
15:43
Speaker 3: at top tier law firm Thompson Guere. Justin quil justin
15:48
Speaker 3: how can there be a conviction and still no name published?
15:53
Speaker 2: Yeah, work, It seems pretty extraordinary, doesn't it. And I
15:56
Speaker 2: suspect it wouldn't happen if we were in another state.
15:59
Speaker 2: But Victoria is the suppression capital of Australia.
16:03
Speaker 3: There's not much doubt about that. The numbers suggest.
16:05
Speaker 2: That more suppress orders are made in Victoria than the
16:09
Speaker 2: rest of Australia and all the other states combined, which
16:12
Speaker 2: was extraordinary statistic. So yet this is a concern.
16:16
Speaker 3: So is this about protecting the rapist and his well
16:21
Speaker 3: known family, or is it protecting the victim in this
16:25
Speaker 3: case and protecting her identity.
16:28
Speaker 2: So victims in sexual offenses cases automatically suppressed. Their names
16:33
Speaker 2: are suppressed by virtue of the operation of legislation. So
16:37
Speaker 2: there's no need for a suppression order over the identity
16:40
Speaker 2: of a defendant, unless, of course, there's unusual circumstances, if
16:45
Speaker 2: it was an incess case or something like that, it's
16:47
Speaker 2: not relevant here. So this is absolutely not to protect
16:51
Speaker 2: the victim at all. And now we're not title to
16:56
Speaker 2: talk about the reasons for the suppress order. I think
16:59
Speaker 2: we could say that it was a suppression order sort
17:01
Speaker 2: and obtained by by that we can now call in
17:06
Speaker 2: the rapist. But as to the reasons for the suppress order,
17:12
Speaker 2: we can't identify those either.
17:14
Speaker 3: But it sounds like Victoria has a transparency problem. Why
17:19
Speaker 3: are we the suppression state? Why do we have more
17:22
Speaker 3: suppression orders in this state than every other state combined.
17:25
Speaker 8: Yeah.
17:26
Speaker 2: My theory is that it probably comes from something twenty
17:29
Speaker 2: years ago when we had the gang Lan War and
17:32
Speaker 2: you had all sorts of cases crossing over against each other,
17:35
Speaker 2: drug cases, murder cases, corrupt police officers involved in some
17:40
Speaker 2: of these cases, and there was probably a need for
17:43
Speaker 2: more suppression orders than normal, and it got into the psyche.
17:46
Speaker 2: I think barristers now asked their clients, you know, would
17:51
Speaker 2: you like a suppression order? I think it's almost part
17:53
Speaker 2: and parcel of the first interview a barrister has with it.
17:56
Speaker 2: Now you ask any person, whether they're charged with murder, rape,
17:59
Speaker 2: or or drink driving, would you like your name in
18:02
Speaker 2: the paper or not in the PA. We all know
18:04
Speaker 2: what they're going to say exactly, and so I think
18:07
Speaker 2: then you get more applications for suppress orders. Puts judge
18:10
Speaker 2: in a tough position, and therefore you get more suppression orders.
18:14
Speaker 3: It seems it's been normalized in Victoria, and the whole
18:19
Speaker 3: transparency argument seems to have been forgotten. Now forgetting the
18:22
Speaker 3: case we just discussed. As talking more broadly about suppression
18:26
Speaker 3: orders in Victoria, what are some of the reasons they
18:30
Speaker 3: are granted? What sort of justifications would a defense council
18:34
Speaker 3: have to make to convince a judge that a suppression
18:38
Speaker 3: order is warranted?
18:39
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, put in this case aside. There's a whole
18:41
Speaker 2: stack of reasons. You know, you might have someone's safety,
18:44
Speaker 2: you know, if I'm identified in this case, someone's going
18:47
Speaker 2: to be able to get me. They're going to shoot
18:49
Speaker 2: me on what have you. You might have prejudice to
18:51
Speaker 2: the administration of justice, where they're saying, if this is reported,
18:55
Speaker 2: it's going to hurt my chances of getting a fair
18:57
Speaker 2: trial in front of the jury. One of the things
19:00
Speaker 2: that we're seeing a lot of recently is people turning
19:04
Speaker 2: up to court with a psychiatrist report and saying, my
19:08
Speaker 2: mental harm is going to be impacted. Now, it used
19:12
Speaker 2: to be the case before the twenty and thirteen ironically
19:18
Speaker 2: termed Open Courts Act was passed. It used to be
19:21
Speaker 2: the case that it was you had to show physical safety.
19:25
Speaker 2: Now it's only safety. The word physical was removed from
19:28
Speaker 2: the Act, and so it probably wasn't thought about it
19:31
Speaker 2: in two thousand. People didn't think about safety as including
19:34
Speaker 2: a person's mental well being. Well now it is, and
19:37
Speaker 2: it is becoming quite a prevalent argument, and it's an
19:40
Speaker 2: argument that frankly, the media organizations find it close to
19:44
Speaker 2: impossible to argue with because you're arguing with a psychiatrist
19:48
Speaker 2: who isn't it's not their job to fact check what
19:51
Speaker 2: they're being told. And then we can't cross examine the
19:54
Speaker 2: defendant who's asking for it, so that's one of the
19:56
Speaker 2: real problems. But look, there's a whole stack of reasons and.
20:00
Speaker 3: That looks sounds like it's something that could be abused
20:03
Speaker 3: quite extensively. And like you said, anyone who's before the courts,
20:07
Speaker 3: particularly if they have any sort of profile, wouldn't want
20:12
Speaker 3: their name in the paper associated with any crime, particularly
20:16
Speaker 3: something serious. So it almost seems like a double standard
20:20
Speaker 3: here where if you have the means, if you've got
20:23
Speaker 3: the wealth and a profile, you can have the privacy
20:28
Speaker 3: of not having your name published.
20:29
Speaker 2: Yeah, well that's absolutely the case. I've got to say.
20:32
Speaker 2: I think it's less about the profile and more about
20:34
Speaker 2: the money. You know, if you have the money to
20:37
Speaker 2: afford the psychiatrists and afford the good barristers to argue
20:40
Speaker 2: these applications for suppression orders, you're more likely to get it.
20:44
Speaker 2: So look, it's a matter of great concern and the
20:46
Speaker 2: public's be right to be concerned about it, and hopefully
20:50
Speaker 2: both government and opposition have a really good look at
20:53
Speaker 2: this in coming months.
20:55
Speaker 3: Justin quil, thank you so much for your time. Thanks
20:57
Speaker 3: Nder coming up left these Losing It pass an incredible
21:00
Speaker 3: case showing free speech is dead in the UK. Kosha
21:04
Speaker 3: Gator joins me. Next, you're watching the Rita Panny Show,
21:17
Speaker 3: and it's time for lefties losing it. Let's check in
21:21
Speaker 3: on a British musician losing it right here in Australia.
21:26
Speaker 3: The lead singer of Garbage, who back in the day
21:29
Speaker 3: produced some exceptional music, not for a while now, but
21:33
Speaker 3: the lead singer these days is donning outfits and the
21:36
Speaker 3: Palestinian colors, ranting about genocide and having an absolute meltdown
21:42
Speaker 3: over a beach ball.
21:44
Speaker 4: I'm good if you're beach ball. I'm so scared of you,
21:52
Speaker 4: so thrilled by you. What the douchebag?
21:58
Speaker 3: Oh that wasn't it. There was a lot more. This
22:02
Speaker 3: is about to get weird, folks.
22:04
Speaker 4: Literally makes me want to beg people to go over
22:07
Speaker 4: there and punch you in the face.
22:10
Speaker 1: Oh you're getting rid of the balloon?
22:11
Speaker 4: No, yeah, you beges. Wow, Oh my god, it's so cool.
22:18
Speaker 4: It's just really just like you go over it.
22:22
Speaker 1: Yeah.
22:23
Speaker 4: It's disrespectful and musicians hard enough and we're fed.
22:29
Speaker 1: Of not getting properly.
22:31
Speaker 4: I'm having to play produced bags like you. You're a
22:36
Speaker 4: athlete man in a ridiculous hat.
22:41
Speaker 3: That dude in the ridiculous hat has paid to watch
22:44
Speaker 3: live music, Shirley, he's paid to support musicians to what
22:49
Speaker 3: you perform at the Good Things Festival in Melbourne, and
22:53
Speaker 3: that meltdown only got worse. Shirley Manson was actually hoping
22:57
Speaker 3: that that poor bloke got bashed up. I mean, this
23:00
Speaker 3: is unhinged, and.
23:03
Speaker 9: I won't literally ask people to.
23:09
Speaker 3: Lady, but truly.
23:16
Speaker 4: You know what I want because i'd to you because
23:19
Speaker 4: you're a small.
23:19
Speaker 3: Man with a small What is wrong with you? Ladies?
23:27
Speaker 3: Surely you can't be serious. One beach ball got that response,
23:32
Speaker 3: and then she doubled down on that behavior, releasing a
23:35
Speaker 3: statement justifying it. She said she makes no apologies whatsoever.
23:40
Speaker 3: I guess what she did issue an apology because even
23:44
Speaker 3: the lefty music world turned on her. Here is stand Atlantic,
23:49
Speaker 3: who are appearing with Garbage and the Good Things Festival.
23:52
Speaker 3: This is how they started their set in Sydney. Second
24:07
Speaker 3: and I got to say, I have never been more
24:10
Speaker 3: proud of Brisbane. This is how they responded to Shirley's
24:14
Speaker 3: tandrum by bringing dozens of beach balls to the Brisbane performance. Yep,
24:19
Speaker 3: this is how you respond to a lefty losing it.
24:26
Speaker 4: If you're ready for if you're ready for if you're
24:33
Speaker 4: ready for balls, if you're ready for balls, if.
24:38
Speaker 3: You're ready for ready, Well done, Brisbane, and you did
24:52
Speaker 3: us proud. And I think it was after that that
24:54
Speaker 3: Shirley Manson finally read the room and apologize. And of
24:58
Speaker 3: course he's changing lyrics now, but of course, like a
25:01
Speaker 3: good lefty, like a typical cry bully, she's playing the
25:05
Speaker 3: victim and virtue signaling.
25:08
Speaker 7: So the only thing.
25:10
Speaker 4: That kind of shops you a level is that there's
25:12
Speaker 4: been more fast need re offending the two parsin I
25:21
Speaker 4: would just like to remind you all but actually is
25:24
Speaker 4: important in this life, and so that I apologize if
25:30
Speaker 4: I have sess you about your resifies balls Reaporogi.
25:37
Speaker 3: I don't think people are upset they were insulting beach balls, Shirley.
25:41
Speaker 3: I think it was the threats of violence against a
25:43
Speaker 3: poor dude who happened to have one at your performance.
25:47
Speaker 3: Now time to see what's Saturday Night Live are up to.
25:51
Speaker 3: And they have decided to mock War Secretary Pete Hexeth,
25:55
Speaker 3: but they just made him seem cooler and hotter.
26:10
Speaker 6: Shut the hell up.
26:11
Speaker 3: Shut it cut the music.
26:13
Speaker 10: What first things First, we're the fatties.
26:19
Speaker 7: You out.
26:22
Speaker 8: What?
26:23
Speaker 3: I'm not even fato?
26:25
Speaker 7: Really, you think you're hiding in under that blazer porky.
26:29
Speaker 3: That's supposed to make me hide. It's not working in base.
26:33
Speaker 3: Now listen up.
26:34
Speaker 7: As you probably read in some gay newspaper, we're now
26:38
Speaker 7: at war with Venezuela.
26:40
Speaker 3: Oh you nerds are like link?
26:41
Speaker 7: But was there an official declaration of war? Yeah, that's
26:44
Speaker 7: right here, superfinger, Dan Cook. Now you got questions for me? Fine,
26:52
Speaker 7: pretend I'm a random fishing boat and fire away.
26:56
Speaker 3: Oh, random fishing boat. We're going with that narrative always
26:59
Speaker 3: Saturday Live now talking about fatties. Imagine how much time
27:04
Speaker 3: you must have on your hands and how desperate you
27:06
Speaker 3: must be to be offended that you take issue with this?
27:11
Speaker 11: Why is there dire culture on the parking meters? Why
27:14
Speaker 11: do we have on the parking meters Sometimes our dia
27:17
Speaker 11: don't feed me on the following holidays? Why are we
27:20
Speaker 11: promoting fatphobia and dire culture even on the parking meters
27:25
Speaker 11: in la I just it gets to a point. Everything
27:28
Speaker 11: use gets to a point. This is an issue and
27:30
Speaker 11: this needs to be fixed. Was Hollywood. This is actually disgusting.
27:34
Speaker 3: Joining me now is Sky News contributor Kosher, Gayta and Kosher.
27:37
Speaker 3: We have a lot of US news to unpack, but
27:39
Speaker 3: let's start in the UK and the extraordinary case of
27:43
Speaker 3: former footballer Joey Barton, who has been handed a suspended
27:47
Speaker 3: sentence for social media posts that caused distress and anxiety.
27:52
Speaker 3: These were posts about broadcaster Jeremy Vine and a couple
27:56
Speaker 3: of soccer pundits. Free speech is well really dead in
28:01
Speaker 3: the UK. Let's hear from Judge Andrew Mineri at the
28:05
Speaker 3: Liverpool Crown Court after a jury found the ex Manchester
28:09
Speaker 3: City and Newcastle player guilty.
28:11
Speaker 1: I have no doubt that neither a finer loan nor
28:14
Speaker 1: a community order can be justified, and that the custody
28:18
Speaker 1: threshold is crossed. There will be concurrent terms of imprisonment
28:23
Speaker 1: for each of these associated offenses, the sentences for each
28:27
Speaker 1: reflecting your overall offending. I'm satisfied that it's not necessary
28:32
Speaker 1: for those custodial terms to be served immediately in light
28:36
Speaker 1: of the steps you have taken. I am persuaded that
28:40
Speaker 1: there is some prospect of rehabilitation.
28:43
Speaker 3: Kosher. Well, I'm glad the re education is working and
28:46
Speaker 3: is not going to jail, has got a suspended term there,
28:49
Speaker 3: but it's also been hit with two hundred hours of
28:51
Speaker 3: unpaid working the community at more than twenty thousand pounds
28:56
Speaker 3: pounds in costs, all for social media post calling a
29:00
Speaker 3: couple of soccer pundits, the Fred and Rose West of
29:05
Speaker 3: football commentary and superimposing their heads on that infamous picture
29:10
Speaker 3: of Fred and Roysemary West. I mean, really the whole
29:14
Speaker 3: notion that you can be brought before the courts found guilty,
29:18
Speaker 3: positively sentenced to jail for things that are causing anxiety,
29:25
Speaker 3: not things that are defametory, things that are threatening, things
29:29
Speaker 3: that are just offensive.
29:31
Speaker 8: Another one bites the dust and it is extra sad.
29:34
Speaker 8: In the UK, land of the Magna Carta. We've talked
29:37
Speaker 8: about this before, you know, the birthplace of the principle
29:39
Speaker 8: of free speech, and to see that happening there just
29:42
Speaker 8: cuts extra deep. And when they go after cultural figures
29:46
Speaker 8: or famous people, imperfect though they may be, Joey Barton
29:49
Speaker 8: and others Grand Graham, Leneham, the comedian my father's had
29:52
Speaker 8: creator recently in others, it is a high stakes move
29:55
Speaker 8: because it does tend to stir more of the disbelief
29:58
Speaker 8: from the public a little bit. You're seeing the power
30:01
Speaker 8: structure as making an example of them. I do think
30:04
Speaker 8: that's partly why they're going after it. But there is
30:07
Speaker 8: a flip side to that coin, where hopefully you're going
30:10
Speaker 8: to see some kind of backlashing people.
30:11
Speaker 3: I'm not sure that's the case though, because they're the
30:14
Speaker 3: cases we hear about. I mean, this is a famous individual,
30:18
Speaker 3: Graham's famous, but there are a frightening number of people
30:23
Speaker 3: who are hit with these chargers, who have people show up,
30:26
Speaker 3: police officers show up to their house.
30:28
Speaker 8: To the woman paying in front of the abortion clinic
30:30
Speaker 8: and all those people.
30:31
Speaker 3: There's so many grandmothers for sharing memes on social media.
30:37
Speaker 3: And just the case recently which did get a lot
30:39
Speaker 3: of media attention, thankfully, which was a young woman who
30:43
Speaker 3: was put in hospital after an assault and she caught
30:45
Speaker 3: her alleged assailant a homophobic slur in a private text
30:51
Speaker 3: message to somebody.
30:52
Speaker 8: She knew, snitched on her, whitched on her.
30:55
Speaker 3: She had eleven police officers house up to eleven.
30:59
Speaker 8: It was just that one because she literally physically was
31:01
Speaker 8: a victim. My point is, maybe if they go after
31:04
Speaker 8: famous people, the devil is overplaying its hand. But we
31:06
Speaker 8: you know, we shall see, we shall see, because not yet.
31:09
Speaker 8: And if you just look at the judge over there,
31:11
Speaker 8: they really seem to believe this principle, which is that
31:15
Speaker 8: words can harm people. And the whole point of free
31:17
Speaker 8: speech is that the answer to speech you don't lake
31:19
Speaker 8: is more speech, not less speech. And words do not kill,
31:22
Speaker 8: no matter what they are.
31:23
Speaker 3: But in the UK, social media posts that caused distress
31:27
Speaker 3: and anxiety could see you before the courts and with
31:30
Speaker 3: a conviction just madness. Now let's go to the US,
31:35
Speaker 3: and the press is continuing to focus on the Naco
31:38
Speaker 3: boat and the drug runners that were neutralized with two
31:41
Speaker 3: separate strikes, and President Trump's patience seems to be wavering,
31:47
Speaker 3: admitting to releasing the full video.
31:49
Speaker 12: Did not just tell you that said it was a secretary,
31:52
Speaker 12: nonoxious reporter in the whole place. Let me just tell
31:55
Speaker 12: you you are an obnoxious, a terrible actually a terrible reporter.
32:00
Speaker 8: Is the same thing with you.
32:01
Speaker 12: I told you, whatever Pete HEXF wants.
32:04
Speaker 3: To do is okay with me, Kosher. I get the
32:07
Speaker 3: feeling that the Republicans are quite happy with the media's
32:11
Speaker 3: fixation on this issue, because the average American really doesn't
32:16
Speaker 3: care about how these narco terrorists are being blown up
32:21
Speaker 3: in the Caribbean Ocean or the Pacific Eastern Pacific Ocean.
32:26
Speaker 3: They're quite happy for these drugs not to be coming
32:28
Speaker 3: into the country.
32:28
Speaker 8: Absolutely, politically, this is a slam dunk just immigration. More
32:32
Speaker 8: broadly for the presidents occurring the border stopping the infloid fentanel.
32:36
Speaker 8: This fits into that there is a little subcurrent on
32:39
Speaker 8: the rate of people worried that this is indicative of
32:42
Speaker 8: excalatory action against Venezuela the country potentially, so you know
32:46
Speaker 8: that maybe is a side point, but broadly this issue
32:48
Speaker 8: has full support of the people. The real reason, I
32:51
Speaker 8: think for why the Democrats are doing this, though, the
32:53
Speaker 8: real agenda is not the political hit. It is laying
32:56
Speaker 8: the groundwroad for impeachment three to dot zero five DOTO.
33:01
Speaker 8: If they take the House and the Senate, I think
33:03
Speaker 8: we're going to be seeing them finding all sorts of
33:05
Speaker 8: things to throw at President Trump and hamstring him further
33:07
Speaker 8: and maybe even impeach him finally.
33:09
Speaker 3: So that's what this is about. That seems to be
33:12
Speaker 3: their only plan, impeachment, and I think Trumps doesn't care
33:17
Speaker 3: about that, and now I mean it cares about it
33:20
Speaker 3: dominating the media and taking oxygen away from what he's
33:25
Speaker 3: actually trying to implement. But I don't think he cares
33:28
Speaker 3: about being impeached. I could personally care about the indictment.
33:32
Speaker 3: That's their bogus.
33:33
Speaker 8: Yeah, that is kind of his superpower. He doesn't care
33:34
Speaker 8: about the negative publicity if you will, and the fact
33:37
Speaker 8: that he won't run again, maybe they won't go for it,
33:39
Speaker 8: but it is all about stop running out the clock, basically,
33:41
Speaker 8: And he's got three years left. If they're hamstring him
33:44
Speaker 8: for half that time where he's defending an apeachment trial,
33:46
Speaker 8: he won't be doing other things to advance his agenda.
33:49
Speaker 3: Now to an issue that deserves far greater coverage always did,
33:53
Speaker 3: and that's the plight of children forced into labor or
33:56
Speaker 3: trafficked for sex after they crossed the southern border without parents.
34:01
Speaker 3: Without their parents under the Biden administration, whistleblowers have alleyed
34:05
Speaker 3: that more than three hundred thousand migrant children. Some estimate
34:09
Speaker 3: around five hundred thousand were missing or lost due to
34:13
Speaker 3: the Biden administration's border crisis. Borders. Our Tom Homan spoke
34:18
Speaker 3: this week about tens of thousands of these children being rescued.
34:23
Speaker 13: Children that weren't even being looked for, and by administration,
34:26
Speaker 13: President Trump saved over sixty two thousand children's lives. Some
34:31
Speaker 13: of these children sex trafficking, we found, some were in
34:33
Speaker 13: forced labor, some were being mistreated. I can't even discuss
34:39
Speaker 13: some of the mistreatment we found out about.
34:41
Speaker 3: A Department of Homeland Security report last year concluded that
34:45
Speaker 3: ICE had released hundreds of thousands of migrant children without
34:49
Speaker 3: notices to appear in court during the Biden presidency and
34:52
Speaker 3: they have no way to track them after these children
34:55
Speaker 3: cross the border as unaccompanied minus kosher. Again, one issue
35:01
Speaker 3: that should be getting so much more media scrutiny, if well,
35:06
Speaker 3: if the media wasn't obsessed with Naco boats and Naco terrorists.
35:10
Speaker 8: One hundred percent. This is one of many and probably
35:13
Speaker 8: the worst cost untold undertold cost of the illegal immigration crisis,
35:18
Speaker 8: which is what it is. And there's entire organizations that
35:21
Speaker 8: are taking children, using them as a passport figuratively speaking,
35:25
Speaker 8: to enter the country because you can latch onto that
35:27
Speaker 8: and then get more favorable case verdicts for asylum and
35:31
Speaker 8: other things like that, even if they're not their their
35:33
Speaker 8: own children, and then as you decided that the previous
35:36
Speaker 8: administration didn't care, there's anywhere from three hundred to five
35:38
Speaker 8: hundred thousand children. We can only imagine the conditions they're
35:41
Speaker 8: in and what they've been made to do. And if
35:43
Speaker 8: they recovered sixty two thousand, as Tomhoman said, we're ten
35:46
Speaker 8: to twenty percent of the way there, and so hopefully,
35:48
Speaker 8: hopefully this would be another great outcome of this presidency.
35:51
Speaker 8: If they keep up that pace, that they'll be pretty
35:53
Speaker 8: close to eighty ninety percent of them recovering. Sadly not
35:56
Speaker 8: all of them will be. And maybe an aside, but
35:59
Speaker 8: since they will never President Trump the Peace Prize, maybe
36:02
Speaker 8: somebody should nominate Tom Holman for the Peace Prize for
36:04
Speaker 8: rescuering in hundreds of thousands of children, hopefully by the
36:06
Speaker 8: end of this term.
36:07
Speaker 3: Now, we discussed the time the viral video of Tish Hyman,
36:12
Speaker 3: who is a black lesbian who encountered a male body
36:16
Speaker 3: in the women's locker room, a naked male body, and
36:20
Speaker 3: because she objected, she was the one band from the gym. Well,
36:24
Speaker 3: she has been attending events with Democrat politicians and politely
36:28
Speaker 3: asking them why they back policies that put women in
36:32
Speaker 3: danger here she is with Roy Khan.
36:36
Speaker 4: Women including myself, are being harassed aunt in our locker rooms.
36:41
Speaker 3: In my case was a hated domestic confuser who broke
36:47
Speaker 3: his wife jaw so badly.
36:50
Speaker 12: Why is she a sensational warning about hypothetical jermes and
36:54
Speaker 12: chess and the real harassment of girls is happening right
36:58
Speaker 12: here under her current lives. That has nothing to do
37:05
Speaker 12: with my ideal with someone who.
37:07
Speaker 10: Experience and will identifying as as a woman saying that
37:13
Speaker 10: they can keep using the liner room about room with
37:17
Speaker 10: the identified with that is there right now?
37:20
Speaker 12: If that person.
37:25
Speaker 3: So frustrating Kochet, he just doesn't get it. It's all
37:28
Speaker 3: about self id with these clowns. Even he even wants
37:32
Speaker 3: male bodies competing in women's sport as long as those
37:35
Speaker 3: male bodies identify as female. He completely missed the point
37:38
Speaker 3: there because that individual did have a history of violence,
37:43
Speaker 3: terrible violence. But according to Rokhana, what he was doing
37:48
Speaker 3: in that locker room was perfectly fine because he identifies
37:50
Speaker 3: as a woman and he wasn't beating anyone up at
37:52
Speaker 3: that time, so he was entitled to be there.
37:54
Speaker 8: Metal I think if he truly didn't get it, it
37:57
Speaker 8: would almost be better. I think the reality is he
37:59
Speaker 8: does get it, yeah, and he's being a coward. He's
38:01
Speaker 8: being a complete coward because he is hiding behind the
38:04
Speaker 8: legal argument that there's no legal remedy for assaulting somebody
38:08
Speaker 8: or sorry, arresting somebody before they've committed and assault just
38:10
Speaker 8: because they entered the wrong bathroom. If a male enters
38:12
Speaker 8: a female bathroom, there's no legal recourse. So he's hiding
38:15
Speaker 8: behind that technicality rather than being bold and brave and
38:19
Speaker 8: seeing what we all know is real projecting women's spaces.
38:22
Speaker 8: He has two kids. One is a daughter. I think
38:23
Speaker 8: she's eight or ten years old. I'm sure he would
38:26
Speaker 8: have a big problem if boys are competing in sports
38:28
Speaker 8: with her. And I don't know this, but I can
38:30
Speaker 8: I would posit that that's a safe bet to make.
38:32
Speaker 8: Or she found herself in a public bathroom, or an
38:34
Speaker 8: intact male was in there, so he's just paying lip
38:36
Speaker 8: service because that is what the Democrat passage.
38:38
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't even know at this stage whether
38:40
Speaker 3: they genuinely believe these positions or it's just part and
38:45
Speaker 3: parcel of the ideology they've signed up to, so they've
38:48
Speaker 3: got to mouth these ridiculous notions without actually believing them.
38:52
Speaker 3: It's somewhere it really doesn't matter.
38:53
Speaker 8: It doesn't matter.
38:54
Speaker 3: It's worse, I mean because the people being impacted, like Tish.
38:59
Speaker 3: It doesn't matter if the politician's implementing these crazy policies
39:02
Speaker 3: actually believe in them or not, because there are victims
39:05
Speaker 3: of it every day.
39:06
Speaker 8: And I hope she gets louder because for a black,
39:08
Speaker 8: lesbian Democrat voter from California to become a face press
39:12
Speaker 8: criticize that it's something they probably don't have on their
39:14
Speaker 8: bingo code.
39:15
Speaker 3: Exactly, Koshergator, thank you so much for your time. Pleasure
39:19
Speaker 3: coming up. Democrat congress Woman Jasmine Crockett wants black people
39:23
Speaker 3: to stop paying taxes. More on that with Alex Stein
39:38
Speaker 3: Welcome back. It's a fine time to check on the
39:41
Speaker 3: woman of many accents. No, not Kamala Harris, but private
39:45
Speaker 3: school educated Jasmine Crockett. Here she is suggesting that it'd
39:49
Speaker 3: be a great idea if black folk didn't pay taxes.
39:53
Speaker 3: She heard a celebrity say it, so you know it's
39:55
Speaker 3: a good idea.
39:57
Speaker 9: Is this past week I saw I don't remember which celebrity,
40:00
Speaker 9: but it was actually a celebrity and I was like,
40:02
Speaker 9: I don't know that that's not necessarily a bad idea,
40:05
Speaker 9: but I'd have to think thro wou a lot. One
40:06
Speaker 9: of the things that they proposed is black folk not
40:08
Speaker 9: have to pay taxes for a certain amount of time,
40:11
Speaker 9: because then again, that puts money back in your pocket.
40:14
Speaker 3: But at the same time, it may not be.
40:16
Speaker 9: As objectionable to some people about actually giving out dollars,
40:21
Speaker 9: but obviously then you start dealing with the different tax
40:23
Speaker 9: brackets and things like that. And that's one of the
40:25
Speaker 9: reasons that, you know, we argue that reparations makes sense
40:29
Speaker 9: because so many black folk not only do you owe
40:33
Speaker 9: for the labor that was stolen and killed and all
40:36
Speaker 9: the other things, right, but the fact is, like we
40:39
Speaker 9: end up being so far behind.
40:41
Speaker 3: That's Democrat Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett and she now wants to
40:45
Speaker 3: be Senator. Jasmine Crockett. She is running for the US
40:49
Speaker 3: Senate in twenty twenty six and this is her first
40:52
Speaker 3: campaign video. It's just basically President Trump describing her as
40:57
Speaker 3: a low iq hard left radical. Pretty accurate. Really, How
41:02
Speaker 3: about this new one?
41:03
Speaker 6: They have their new star Crockett?
41:05
Speaker 8: How about her?
41:07
Speaker 12: She's the new star of the Democrat Party, Jasmine Cricket.
41:10
Speaker 12: They're in big trouble. But you have this woman Crockett.
41:14
Speaker 12: She's a very low IQ person. I watched her speak
41:17
Speaker 12: the other day.
41:18
Speaker 2: She's definitely a low IQ person. Crockett.
41:22
Speaker 3: Oh man, oh man, she's a very low IQ person.
41:29
Speaker 12: Somebody said the other day she's one of the leaders
41:31
Speaker 12: of the party.
41:31
Speaker 7: I think you gotta be kidding.
41:34
Speaker 12: Now, they're going to rely on Crockett's going to bring
41:37
Speaker 12: them back.
41:40
Speaker 3: Really, it's hard to work out if that's a Democrat
41:43
Speaker 3: or a Republican. Commercial let's bring in comedian Alex Stein.
41:48
Speaker 3: Alex Jasmine Crockett wants to be a senator for the
41:51
Speaker 3: great state of Texas, your state. What are the chances?
41:56
Speaker 7: Not only is she representing my state, she represents my
41:58
Speaker 7: district where my office. Let me tell you something. She's
42:01
Speaker 7: an embarrassment to the city of Dallas. And she's not
42:03
Speaker 7: even from Dallas. She's not even from Texas. So she's
42:06
Speaker 7: a literal carpetbagger. But you know, this is the thing
42:08
Speaker 7: when it comes to Jasmine Crockett, I actually agree that
42:11
Speaker 7: black people shouldn't pay taxes. As a fellow black man,
42:14
Speaker 7: I actually do agree with her on that. So I
42:15
Speaker 7: don't want to talk about that because she's right about that.
42:17
Speaker 7: Now everything else she is wrong about and she is
42:20
Speaker 7: going to get humiliated against Kim paxon if Kim Pax
42:24
Speaker 7: and Beach John Corner in the primary. So I'm just
42:26
Speaker 7: going to tell you this. The state of Texas did
42:28
Speaker 7: elect her as a congressman, but the chances of her
42:30
Speaker 7: getting elected as a senator is zero percent.
42:34
Speaker 3: So you're you're all all on board on black people
42:36
Speaker 3: not paying taxes. I didn't realize you were transracial. You
42:39
Speaker 3: identify as African American, yes I do.
42:44
Speaker 7: I and a Filipino as well. So listen, this is
42:47
Speaker 7: just what identify as. Whether you believe it or not,
42:49
Speaker 7: this is my right. So if you don't agree with that,
42:53
Speaker 7: you're the racist.
42:53
Speaker 3: You're the bigot. That's the rules these days. Yes, you're
42:57
Speaker 3: right there. Now, there are a bunch of brave celebrities,
43:02
Speaker 3: singers and actors who have been honored at the White
43:04
Speaker 3: House where they receive their Kennedy Center honors. They get
43:09
Speaker 3: medals for that, and then they go to a beautiful
43:11
Speaker 3: gala event at Washington, DC venue. Let's have a look
43:15
Speaker 3: at the president giving these people their honors.
43:20
Speaker 12: On behalf of every American who has been inspired by
43:23
Speaker 12: the unbelievable talent of Michael Crawford, who has been influenced
43:28
Speaker 12: by the music of George Strait or Gloria Gainer or Kiss,
43:33
Speaker 12: or who has been moved by Sylvester Stallone's unmatched heart
43:37
Speaker 12: and talent and grit, because nobody played that role and
43:41
Speaker 12: nobody will ever play.
43:42
Speaker 3: That role like sly Alex. The President said they had
43:47
Speaker 3: defined entire genres and set new standards for the performing arts.
43:51
Speaker 3: But I say they brave because to be accepting an
43:56
Speaker 3: award like this from President Trump, it could be very
44:00
Speaker 3: as it is to your career in the entertainment world.
44:02
Speaker 3: We know they've got that new age McCarthyism where if
44:05
Speaker 3: you're a conservative or even tolerant of conservatism, you may
44:10
Speaker 3: stop working.
44:13
Speaker 7: No. And it's funny because you know, you call them brave,
44:15
Speaker 7: and I know you're saying that a little fit sciously,
44:16
Speaker 7: but also you're being honest, because this is really where
44:19
Speaker 7: we're at. This is the political climate where these celebrities
44:21
Speaker 7: will lose brand deals, they'll lose everything, they'll loser agency
44:24
Speaker 7: if they just are just even sympathetic to that side. Like,
44:28
Speaker 7: they don't even have to be conservative, but if they're
44:30
Speaker 7: sympathetic to conservatives, that is enough to get canceled. So
44:33
Speaker 7: I just want to say sliced the loone. His role
44:35
Speaker 7: of Rocky is arguably one of the greatest movies of
44:38
Speaker 7: all time, so he definitely deserved that award. Now, George Straight,
44:41
Speaker 7: I'm sure you've heard all the rumors about I don't
44:43
Speaker 7: know if you're true or not. I love George.
44:46
Speaker 3: He's the King. I'm just saying I have heard no rumors. Okay,
44:50
Speaker 3: I am not listening to any rumors. I will not
44:53
Speaker 3: listen to rumors about George Strait. Do not tell me
44:56
Speaker 3: any king. Thank you. They say courage is courageous that
45:02
Speaker 3: he We've got another actor coming forward and making statements
45:07
Speaker 3: about Donald Trump that a few years ago would see
45:09
Speaker 3: him possibly literally run out of Hollywood. Kelsey Grammer, the
45:13
Speaker 3: man behind the Brilliant comedy series Fraser, has praised Donald Trump.
45:18
Speaker 3: In an interview ahead of the Kennedy Center Honors, he said,
45:21
Speaker 3: I think he's extraordinary. He's one of the greatest presidents
45:25
Speaker 3: we've ever had, maybe the greatest. Alex also said it's
45:29
Speaker 3: great to have somebody as president who actually means what
45:32
Speaker 3: they say.
45:34
Speaker 7: You know, that's probably the best thing about Trump is
45:36
Speaker 7: that you know that he loves America and he actually
45:38
Speaker 7: means it when he says it, not a lot, not
45:40
Speaker 7: like all these other politicians. But Kelsey Grammer his role
45:43
Speaker 7: in Frasier, he was an icon. He's another guy that
45:46
Speaker 7: was just in the latest Avengers movie. He can lose
45:49
Speaker 7: a lot of credibility in Hollywood supporting Donald Trump. So
45:52
Speaker 7: I just want to give him a lot of credit
45:54
Speaker 7: for being brave and you know, speaking out and supporting
45:57
Speaker 7: President Trump because really everything he said is correct. I
45:59
Speaker 7: think Donald Trump is the best president of my lifetime,
46:01
Speaker 7: and he's one of the best presidents. You know, he's
46:04
Speaker 7: not perfect, but no president is. But I truly believe
46:07
Speaker 7: that he wants to make this country a better place,
46:09
Speaker 7: and that was not the case with the last administration.
46:13
Speaker 3: And we're not exaggerating this. This situation that exists in
46:18
Speaker 3: Hollywood and entertainment world in general, where people are ostracized
46:24
Speaker 3: if they're not from the left. You've got in the
46:27
Speaker 3: moment someone as big as Taylor Swift copying criticism even
46:31
Speaker 3: though she's a Democrat, even though she's campaign for Democrats
46:34
Speaker 3: because she's stopped issuing political messages. She's copying some heat.
46:39
Speaker 3: But if you actually come out and say I'm a
46:41
Speaker 3: Republican or I respect the president. I don't hate President Trump.
46:45
Speaker 3: In fact, I admire him, that could be the end
46:48
Speaker 3: of your career. That could see you not get any
46:50
Speaker 3: further work. So it does take some guts to make
46:53
Speaker 3: statements like that. Alex Google's year in search data for
46:58
Speaker 3: twenty twenty five has re I feel that Charlie Kirk
47:02
Speaker 3: was the number one trending search in the US. More
47:07
Speaker 3: broadly than that, I know you two were friends. I
47:11
Speaker 3: know you do work for Turning Point. How do you
47:14
Speaker 3: see Charlie's legacy He's enduring legacy?
47:19
Speaker 7: Well, you know, this is a question that I've got
47:21
Speaker 7: a lot I've had to answer just from friends and family,
47:23
Speaker 7: because everybody wants to know about Charlie. And you know,
47:25
Speaker 7: there's a saying that the art gets better when the
47:28
Speaker 7: artist dies, and that is true. You know, now people
47:30
Speaker 7: are realizing how incredible Charlie Kirk was, and I think
47:34
Speaker 7: that's so great and that his legacy will last forever.
47:36
Speaker 7: But I'm still so torn inside reader because it doesn't
47:40
Speaker 7: matter how long his legacy will last, and I'm sure
47:42
Speaker 7: it'll last forever. If he was alive, he would have
47:46
Speaker 7: made this country so incredibly great. And so even though
47:50
Speaker 7: his legacy now will be much bigger than it probably
47:54
Speaker 7: you know, even if he was president now, with the
47:56
Speaker 7: horrible tragic getting into his life, nobody will ever forget
47:59
Speaker 7: Charlie Kirk. His name will resonate with people for years
48:03
Speaker 7: and years and years. But this country would be so
48:05
Speaker 7: much of a better place if we just still had
48:06
Speaker 7: Charlie with us. It just makes me sick thinking about
48:09
Speaker 7: it every day. Riada, I'm just so sad.
48:12
Speaker 3: I can understand, and I agree with you. I think
48:14
Speaker 3: you would have been president one day. It's just such
48:17
Speaker 3: a such a tragedy for the country. Now, before you go,
48:20
Speaker 3: I'm going to play you some footage that has just
48:22
Speaker 3: gone viral from Texas showing the Henrietta Bearcats football team
48:28
Speaker 3: getting an amazing send off, and only in Texas send
48:31
Speaker 3: off before a playoff game, Alex, that's a high school
48:49
Speaker 3: football team getting a send off like that. Texas is
48:52
Speaker 3: something else.
48:54
Speaker 7: Friday night lights, Rita is very real. It is a
48:57
Speaker 7: religion here in Texas. And let me just tell you, though,
49:00
Speaker 7: if you guys saw that clip. The Henrietta Bearcats dominated
49:05
Speaker 7: after that game, rightfully so so you know, people might
49:07
Speaker 7: not realize that that actually does get us motivated to
49:09
Speaker 7: go fight. Like here, there's that cardinal instinct riding a
49:12
Speaker 7: big thousand pounds horse, seeing another man do it, it'll
49:15
Speaker 7: get you fired up for a football game. And that's
49:16
Speaker 7: what Texa high school football is all about, just fighting,
49:19
Speaker 7: being tough, and you know it's a Texas way.
49:23
Speaker 3: You need to send me a bear Cat's cap very quickly,
49:26
Speaker 3: Alex Alex Stein, thank you for your time, and that's
49:28
Speaker 3: it for me. I'll see you're to live in tomorrow.
49:30
Speaker 3: Not New's not is up next
