- 0:53Speaker 1: And Tonight's Left is losing. It is heavy on a
- 0:56Speaker 1: list celebrities, including this clown.
- 1:00Speaker 3: America's philistine president has had himself appointed head of one
- 1:04Speaker 3: of our premier cultural institutions.
- 1:08Speaker 1: But first volunteer firefighters and farmers gathered in huge numbers
- 1:12Speaker 1: in Melbourne, CBD today to protest the state government's expanded
- 1:16Speaker 1: emergency services tax. They travel to the steps of Parliament
- 1:21Speaker 1: in convoy from all corners of the state demand just
- 1:24Speaker 1: center Alan scrapped the controversial tax amid the disastrous drought
- 1:29Speaker 1: that is crippling many parts of the state.
- 1:33Speaker 4: Is this another expense we don't need? I mean, the
- 1:35Speaker 4: problem of we've got now risk fite profile is huge.
- 1:38Speaker 4: I've really these fixed costs and this is just another
- 1:40Speaker 4: big fixed cost we don't need. I mean, the flow
- 1:42Speaker 4: on effect is going to be huge, hecause, I mean,
- 1:44Speaker 4: this money's going to leave leave our districts. It's going
- 1:46Speaker 4: to end up down here. And now, if it was
- 1:49Speaker 4: going back into our CFA, back where we are, wouldn't
- 1:52Speaker 4: be quite so bad. But we know for a fact
- 1:53Speaker 4: it's coming down here to filter center Allen's big black
- 1:55Speaker 4: hole in the budget.
- 1:57Speaker 3: Now.
- 1:57Speaker 1: The outcry comes as farmers in draft to ravaged areas
- 2:01Speaker 1: are being forced to send thousands of dairy cows to
- 2:04Speaker 1: be slaughtered as they don't have sufficient feed to keep
- 2:07Speaker 1: them alive and healthy. The cost of hay has gone
- 2:10Speaker 1: up considerably in the last week alone. Farmers say that
- 2:13Speaker 1: the Alan government has failed to provide adequate support, instead
- 2:18Speaker 1: slugging them with yet another tax. Joining me now for
- 2:21Speaker 1: more on This is News Corps senior writer Patrick Carli
- 2:24Speaker 1: and Patrick, the farmers and indeed many in regional areas
- 2:28Speaker 1: are furious. There does seem to be this divide between
- 2:32Speaker 1: the city and regional areas, and people out there are
- 2:35Speaker 1: doing it tough.
- 2:36Speaker 2: Absolutely. Look, the farmers have got the triple whammy today.
- 2:40Speaker 2: Basically they've got a draft, they've raising rising feed prices,
- 2:44Speaker 2: and they've got this ridiculous new tax which who knows
- 2:48Speaker 2: who came up with this idea to this tax. I mean,
- 2:50Speaker 2: let's just punish the people who are doing it tough.
- 2:53Speaker 2: It's tinued, it's ridiculous, it should be scrapped, and you'd like, look,
- 2:58Speaker 2: I welcome the farmers coming out in four They've got
- 3:01Speaker 2: some very legitimate grip.
- 3:03Speaker 1: It takes a lot for them to leave their farms,
- 3:06Speaker 1: travel hours in some cases to go to the steps
- 3:10Speaker 1: of Parliament. They're not people who protest at the drop
- 3:13Speaker 1: of a hat. But things are pretty grim, as you said,
- 3:17Speaker 1: and we've got the Victorian state budget today, biggest debt
- 3:21Speaker 1: in the country, bigger state debt, and an annual interest
- 3:24Speaker 1: bill that's hitting ten billion dollars shortly. That is frightening
- 3:30Speaker 1: and all they seem to have is property taxes, and
- 3:32Speaker 1: this is yet another one.
- 3:34Speaker 2: Well, look, the taxes are gone up. If you look
- 3:35Speaker 2: at the budget today, the taxes have gone up from
- 3:37Speaker 2: thirty one billion dollars in twenty two to twenty three
- 3:40Speaker 2: to forty one billion dollars in twenty eight.
- 3:42Speaker 1: Twe and they say there's no new taxes.
- 3:44Speaker 2: And at the same time, we've got this debt going
- 3:46Speaker 2: up to I think one hundred and ninety four billion dollars.
- 3:49Speaker 2: That works out it's ten billion dollars in interest per year.
- 3:52Speaker 2: That works out to a million dollars an hour in
- 3:55Speaker 2: interest repayment. It's crazy.
- 3:57Speaker 1: You said, you hope that just into Allen government will
- 4:00Speaker 1: scrap this tax. Is there any likelihood of that happening
- 4:04Speaker 1: given the distraits therein financially.
- 4:06Speaker 2: Look, what I get upset about is the naked gouging
- 4:10Speaker 2: that this government does. They just attack people who are
- 4:13Speaker 2: asset rich to try and pay down on those debts
- 4:16Speaker 2: that they created over the course of the last nine years.
- 4:19Speaker 2: They're not cutting spending, They're just whacking Victorians who have
- 4:23Speaker 2: been whacked over and over in so many different ways
- 4:26Speaker 2: over so many years.
- 4:28Speaker 1: Now to the other big news today, the coalition is
- 4:32Speaker 1: no more. Nationals leader David Little Proud announcing earlier today
- 4:35Speaker 1: that the Nationals will not be reinstating a coalition agreement
- 4:39Speaker 1: with the Liberals at this time. Here's what you have
- 4:42Speaker 1: to say.
- 4:43Speaker 5: Our party room has got to a position where we
- 4:46Speaker 5: will not be re entering a coalition agreement with the
- 4:49Speaker 5: Liberal Party after this election. What we have got to
- 4:53Speaker 5: a position is that the National Party will sit alone
- 4:57Speaker 5: on a principal basis their need to we discover who
- 5:00Speaker 5: they are and what they want to be. We're very
- 5:04Speaker 5: clear about who we are and why we're here.
- 5:07Speaker 1: Patrick. Is this heading for divorce or is it just
- 5:11Speaker 1: a trial separation and they're going to kiss and make
- 5:13Speaker 1: up before the next election.
- 5:14Speaker 2: I think it's a time out, you'd call it at
- 5:16Speaker 2: this stage. Look, the Nationals did pretty well at the election.
- 5:19Speaker 1: They did.
- 5:20Speaker 2: I think they've lost one seat, and over the last
- 5:22Speaker 2: two elections the Liberals got smashed. The Liberals don't know
- 5:25Speaker 2: who they are or what they want to be. They
- 5:27Speaker 2: don't know how they're going to appeal to particularly young
- 5:30Speaker 2: people and to women in those electorates where they did
- 5:33Speaker 2: so poorly. The Nationals, in contrast, actually did very well
- 5:37Speaker 2: they want to prosecute the policies that they took to
- 5:40Speaker 2: the election and those policies which won over electorates in
- 5:44Speaker 2: a very successful way. So look, I think you can
- 5:47Speaker 2: assume they probably get back together at some point. They
- 5:51Speaker 2: have split three times previously, which I didn't realize. It
- 5:54Speaker 2: does happen from time to time, and it probably is
- 5:56Speaker 2: a good time for a time out.
- 5:58Speaker 1: Well, the Nationals seem to have a much firmer idea
- 6:01Speaker 1: of who they are, what they stand for, and it
- 6:04Speaker 1: speaks to the electorate because as you said, they did
- 6:06Speaker 1: pretty well in an election campaign that was disastrous for
- 6:09Speaker 1: the coalition. Overall, there's only I think five or six
- 6:13Speaker 1: seats between them. The Nationals could be the lead opposition,
- 6:17Speaker 1: which would mean the Prime Minister or the alternative prime
- 6:20Speaker 1: Minister could come from them, So it's quite a different
- 6:24Speaker 1: set of circumstances to what we've seen in the past.
- 6:29Speaker 2: Look, I think it just emphasizes that regional city divide,
- 6:32Speaker 2: which has been really growing rapidly, especially over the last
- 6:35Speaker 2: ten years. What the Bush is talking about and what
- 6:38Speaker 2: the Bush cares about is dramatically different to the retoric
- 6:43Speaker 2: coming out of camera and out of the Capital cities.
- 6:46Speaker 2: They have their own interests and they did good. The
- 6:49Speaker 2: Nationals did a good job of representing those interests, and
- 6:52Speaker 2: it'll be interesting to see. Look, I don't know how
- 6:54Speaker 2: you change that divide. I don't know how you bring
- 6:56Speaker 2: it back together, but it's there.
- 6:58Speaker 1: The issue of net zero is going to be crucial
- 7:01Speaker 1: energy policy. If Susan Lee wants to go down this
- 7:04Speaker 1: renewables road and stick with net zero, then perhaps this
- 7:09Speaker 1: reconciliation is not going to be as amicable as you
- 7:13Speaker 1: would like because the Nationals, and they certainly have people
- 7:17Speaker 1: within that party who are outspoken on this one, this
- 7:21Speaker 1: policy abandoned. They see it as holding the party back.
- 7:24Speaker 1: And you've got to say, since they embraced net zero
- 7:28Speaker 1: in twenty twenty one, they've lost two elections in devastating circumstances.
- 7:32Speaker 2: Absolutely, Look, the Nationals are realistic. They're saying we need nuclear.
- 7:37Speaker 2: The renewables is not going to work. And I think
- 7:39Speaker 2: time will tell and I think that will be shown
- 7:41Speaker 2: to be so that nuclear has to be on the table.
- 7:44Speaker 2: They haven't sort of run away from that. The coalition
- 7:48Speaker 2: together sort of brought forward this nuclear idea, then the
- 7:51Speaker 2: Liberals sort of ran backwards from it a million miles
- 7:53Speaker 2: an hour, whereas the Nationals said, well we need this,
- 7:56Speaker 2: this is what we need. So look, the Liberals need
- 7:58Speaker 2: to do a lot of soul over many months to
- 8:01Speaker 2: actually work out who they are and what they're going
- 8:04Speaker 2: to do. The National is an entity unto themselves, and
- 8:08Speaker 2: they're doing pretty well.
- 8:09Speaker 1: They are. They're certainly doing better than the Liberals of
- 8:11Speaker 1: the moment. Now to the other side of the isle
- 8:14Speaker 1: and Anthony Albanize is welfare working group known as the
- 8:18Speaker 1: Economic Inclusion Advisory Committee what a name, is pushing for
- 8:23Speaker 1: Labor to end its six point eight billion dollar power
- 8:26Speaker 1: bill rebate scheme and instead redirect that money to more
- 8:32Speaker 1: solar panel and battery subsidies, more money for the renewable
- 8:36Speaker 1: sector from your taxes, Patrick, what do you think of
- 8:39Speaker 1: this suggestion.
- 8:40Speaker 2: Look, there's a standout statistic in this discussion. Power prices
- 8:46Speaker 2: across Australia have gone up forty seven percent this year,
- 8:50Speaker 2: out of pocket prices at forty seven percent. There's no
- 8:53Speaker 2: way in the world politically this government is going to
- 8:56Speaker 2: drop out the rebate. They need the rebates just to
- 8:59Speaker 2: keep everything going. And I just seems so pine in
- 9:02Speaker 2: the sky. I mean low income people subsidizing soular batteries
- 9:07Speaker 2: on their rooms. How are they going to find the
- 9:09Speaker 2: difference which is ten thousand dollars to try and save
- 9:13Speaker 2: the planet.
- 9:14Speaker 1: Absolutely, and a lot of low income people have rent,
- 9:17Speaker 1: so how are they going to be getting subsidies for this?
- 9:20Speaker 1: It is so hair brained. But then so is the
- 9:22Speaker 1: whole notion that renewables are cheaper. And we keep pumping
- 9:26Speaker 1: money into renewables and our power bills keep going up.
- 9:29Speaker 1: I wonder at some point we're going to sort of realize, well,
- 9:32Speaker 1: maybe the renewables aren't that cheap after all. Now to
- 9:36Speaker 1: the insane costs of real estate in this country, including
- 9:40Speaker 1: parking spots. Six parking spots in Sydney's CBD have sold,
- 9:45Speaker 1: for get this, six hundred and eight thousand each at auction,
- 9:49Speaker 1: each supposed to be patrick a record price per per space.
- 9:56Speaker 1: That is crazy. In most countries, they would look at
- 9:59Speaker 1: that and would refuse to believe that six hundred thousand
- 10:04Speaker 1: in whatever currency that transfer transfers to would buy you
- 10:08Speaker 1: a substantial house in most countries.
- 10:10Speaker 2: Absolutely. Look, I think there was there was ninety two
- 10:15Speaker 2: inquiries for these car parks. It is prime real estate
- 10:18Speaker 2: it's near Circular Key in Sydney. It is if you've
- 10:20Speaker 2: got a parking spot, it is a parking spot. They
- 10:24Speaker 2: had thirty bids. They went past the reserve after four bids.
- 10:27Speaker 2: I think there is still money around and something like that. Look,
- 10:32Speaker 2: that is very desirable to have those car parks.
- 10:35Speaker 6: Oh.
- 10:35Speaker 1: Absolutely. Now I know you're a footy fan, so before
- 10:39Speaker 1: you go, I want to get your input on this story.
- 10:42Speaker 1: The AFL has been lobbied in recent years to make
- 10:46Speaker 1: it mandatory for each club to recruise at least one
- 10:51Speaker 1: Indigenous player. What do you make of this proposal? The
- 10:55Speaker 1: number of Indigenous players on AFL list has reduced in
- 10:58Speaker 1: recent years, but do we really need to have quotas
- 11:01Speaker 1: and mandatory recruitment.
- 11:04Speaker 2: Look like quotas in every aspect of industry across the board,
- 11:07Speaker 2: they don't work and it's not going to work in
- 11:09Speaker 2: an elite sport context, is it. Look the numbers are sad.
- 11:13Speaker 2: I think there's eighty seven Indigenous players playing AFL five
- 11:16Speaker 2: years ago. It's down to sixty two the.
- 11:19Speaker 1: Akill there's an overrepresentation though, I mean, obviously a lot
- 11:23Speaker 1: of Indigenous players are hugely popular. Some of the best
- 11:28Speaker 1: players in the league and they've always been overrepresented. So
- 11:32Speaker 1: the rationale for quota or a mandatory recruitment requirement seems
- 11:38Speaker 1: a bit odd.
- 11:39Speaker 2: Well, it simply wouldn't work those players if they were
- 11:42Speaker 2: recruited as a quota sort of deal, they're not going
- 11:46Speaker 2: to get games, They're not going to play AFL. It's
- 11:49Speaker 2: not going to work. I mean, a lot of things
- 11:51Speaker 2: need to be done. There are systemic issues here in
- 11:54Speaker 2: terms of getting great players to the AFL playing field,
- 12:00Speaker 2: and there's lots that needs to be done. But quotas
- 12:03Speaker 2: he's not going to fix anything.
- 12:05Speaker 1: Patrick Carline, thanks for it time tonight. Joining me now
- 12:08Speaker 1: is Women's Forum Australia's head of advocacy, Stephanie Bastian Stephanie.
- 12:12Speaker 1: Former Victorian opposition leader John Pursuito is in danger of
- 12:16Speaker 1: being declared bankrupt and losing his seat after being ordered
- 12:19Speaker 1: to cover Mora Deemings two point three million dollar legal bill.
- 12:23Speaker 1: John Pursuito has conceded an interview with The Herald Son
- 12:27Speaker 1: that there is a part of me that thinks, geez,
- 12:30Speaker 1: if only I had taken a moment, I could have
- 12:32Speaker 1: done things differently or better. But in the same interview,
- 12:36Speaker 1: also said I did everything that I possibly could to
- 12:39Speaker 1: settle the matter, and that I've always acted then as
- 12:43Speaker 1: now in the best interest of the party. Stephan I've
- 12:47Speaker 1: got to ask, is he delusional or dumb? It's hard
- 12:50Speaker 1: to think of another option. There were plenty of opportunities
- 12:53Speaker 1: for him to do a U turn here before he
- 12:55Speaker 1: got to this point.
- 12:57Speaker 7: Absolutely, it's on the public record that he he didn't
- 13:00Speaker 7: even respond to Mora's last letter of offer to settle
- 13:03Speaker 7: the case for one hundred grand. But one thing that
- 13:05Speaker 7: Pursuito hasn't mentioned is the one big lesson that he
- 13:08Speaker 7: and his faction should learn, and that is to stop
- 13:11Speaker 7: the witch hunt against Conservatives. What happened to Moira follows
- 13:15Speaker 7: a plethora of women, particularly within the Victorian Division, that
- 13:17Speaker 7: had been demonized by his faction. There was Cynthia Watson
- 13:21Speaker 7: in Ringwood, whose husband had attended a big event in
- 13:24Speaker 7: Queensland with an afarious character, and despite the fact that
- 13:27Speaker 7: she was mayor and an elected local counselor, she was
- 13:31Speaker 7: somehow unfit to run for the seat of Ringwood. And
- 13:34Speaker 7: this whole story came from within the division. Renee heat
- 13:37Speaker 7: almost didn't sit in the party room because her father,
- 13:40Speaker 7: and you were a pastor in a Muslim country and
- 13:42Speaker 7: he was too conservative, once again damaged by association.
- 13:46Speaker 8: Of course, then she was dragged through the MUDs.
- 13:48Speaker 7: After she refused to fix the minutes to make Vesudo's
- 13:53Speaker 7: story fit.
- 13:54Speaker 8: But one after another, these women have been mistreated.
- 13:57Speaker 7: Moira as the first woman to actually stand up and
- 13:59Speaker 7: push back say no, and that is cost Purseudo at
- 14:02Speaker 7: this point, it looks like it's costing his seat.
- 14:04Speaker 8: He's up for.
- 14:05Speaker 7: Millions of dollars in damages. But the shoe is now
- 14:07Speaker 7: on the other foot. So I think the lesson here
- 14:10Speaker 7: is for them to stop demonizing conservatives and to start
- 14:14Speaker 7: working as a broad shirts that they should be.
- 14:19Speaker 1: Now let's turn our attention to an author want to
- 14:22Speaker 1: be Pirate and husband of Lisa Wilkinson, Peter fitz Simon's
- 14:26Speaker 1: who posted these comments about Mara Deeming and they're still up.
- 14:30Speaker 1: This was posted back in twenty twenty three. I can't
- 14:32Speaker 1: believe it's still up on x in It Fitzimon's response
- 14:37Speaker 1: to a post praising John Pursudo for expelling Deeming from
- 14:41Speaker 1: the party room, and Fitzimon writes, if we Australians don't
- 14:45Speaker 1: draw a line in the sand on Nazis, Where does
- 14:49Speaker 1: it stop? Charlottesville, Stephanie is a shocking thing to put
- 14:54Speaker 1: out there about Mora Deeming who was there to protect
- 14:59Speaker 1: women's right. I know Moura is absolutely shattered about that post.
- 15:05Speaker 1: How is it still up today? How do they have
- 15:08Speaker 1: a license to defame this poor woman despite everything she's
- 15:12Speaker 1: done to clear her name.
- 15:17Speaker 7: Well, I think that's probably a question for her lawyers.
- 15:20Speaker 7: I hope they write him a strongly worded letter to
- 15:22Speaker 7: enforce him to take that down. But I mean, Peter
- 15:25Speaker 7: Fitzgibbons is a nasty man. He has constantly mocked women
- 15:29Speaker 7: who have expressed concern about women playing in sport. And
- 15:33Speaker 7: the fact that he didn't go and fact check this situation,
- 15:35Speaker 7: I think it probably didn't suit him to do so.
- 15:37Speaker 7: But this just shows the ramifications of what pursudo did.
- 15:40Speaker 8: He went out with this story with these lies that a.
- 15:43Speaker 7: Court found to be incredibly damaging, he didn't fact check
- 15:46Speaker 7: and he probably didn't want to. And the consequences of
- 15:50Speaker 7: his Pursuito's actions is that people like Fitzgibbons, who also
- 15:53Speaker 7: have large followings, have furthered the damage by spreading it
- 15:56Speaker 7: around on social media.
- 16:00Speaker 1: And if you're pandering to the likes of FitzSimons then
- 16:04Speaker 1: you're kind of losing the fight. He's supposed to be
- 16:07Speaker 1: a conservative leader. This was such a lost opportunity by
- 16:11Speaker 1: Pursuito to actually lay a glove on the Dan Andrews
- 16:13Speaker 1: government and speak for the eighty percent. This is an
- 16:17Speaker 1: eighty twenty issue. You might even argue it's a ninety
- 16:19Speaker 1: ten issue. But sadly we've got Labor, the Liberals, the
- 16:22Speaker 1: Greens all siding with a ten to twenty percent activist
- 16:26Speaker 1: class now fast for FitzSimons, he's a typical lefty losing it.
- 16:32Speaker 1: He's triggered now by the Australian flag. He posted this
- 16:35Speaker 1: in recent days. He said, it really is weird how
- 16:38Speaker 1: the OS flag these days on Twitter is the surest
- 16:42Speaker 1: sign of mad, bad and dangerous to know Cookers, I
- 16:47Speaker 1: mean really, Now, let's turn our attention to the Abortion
- 16:52Speaker 1: Access Bill, which has now passed the New South Wales
- 16:54Speaker 1: Parliament after the Greens did the deal with the Chris
- 16:58Speaker 1: Means government. Steph, tell me about your concerns about this legislation.
- 17:04Speaker 1: Surely if it's expanding women's rights, it's a good thing.
- 17:11Speaker 8: Well, that's the way they've pitched it.
- 17:13Speaker 7: But the problem with the remnants of this bill, and
- 17:15Speaker 7: it has been wound back significantly, is that women in
- 17:19Speaker 7: regional areas will be given access to the pill without
- 17:22Speaker 7: the necessary medical support in the case of adverse events.
- 17:25Speaker 7: There was a big study out with over eight hundred
- 17:28Speaker 7: thousand participants earlier this year. One in ten women have
- 17:31Speaker 7: had serious adverse health events to taking the medical Abortion
- 17:36Speaker 7: Bill sorry abortion pill, including hemorrhaging and needing hospitalization. There's
- 17:44Speaker 7: been a range of adverse events.
- 17:47Speaker 1: Now to the US where the Trump Department of Justice
- 17:50Speaker 1: has reallocated federal funding for groups that support transgenderism and
- 17:57Speaker 1: DEI policies diversity equity inclusion, and they've diverted that funding
- 18:02Speaker 1: step to boost law enforcement efforts. It's precisely the sort
- 18:07Speaker 1: of being that your group advocates for, and I would
- 18:10Speaker 1: think most people would be in support of this sort
- 18:13Speaker 1: of action because that is something that is again another
- 18:17Speaker 1: eighty twenty issue, and for too long the twenty percent
- 18:21Speaker 1: has had disproportionate power and influence.
- 18:27Speaker 7: Absolutely, I think the austrained public would be shocked at
- 18:30Speaker 7: the millions of dollars that are put into these activist
- 18:32Speaker 7: lobby groups. Acon's one single organization that receives over sixteen
- 18:37Speaker 7: million dollars. Every local council across the country now are
- 18:42Speaker 7: implementing these LGBTI Advisory Board. State governments are rolling out programs.
- 18:47Speaker 7: You've got programs and schools, millions and millions of tax
- 18:51Speaker 7: funded dollars being poured into these activist groups that are
- 18:56Speaker 7: wreaking havoc on society and taking away the rights of
- 18:58Speaker 7: women and girls. I think it's extraordinary, and this is
- 19:01Speaker 7: money that could be going to good use to address
- 19:04Speaker 7: domestic violence, boosting domestic violence shelters and support networks for women,
- 19:09Speaker 7: dealing with the mental health crisis in our schools, for kids,
- 19:12Speaker 7: providing more counseling. I think that it would be great
- 19:17Speaker 7: to have a review into just how much waste is
- 19:20Speaker 7: going into these organizations, because they're wreaking a lot more
- 19:23Speaker 7: havoc than they are adding a benefit to our society.
- 19:27Speaker 1: And at tax payers expense. Deevanie Bastion, thank you for
- 19:30Speaker 1: your time tonight, still to calm lefties losing it? Plus,
- 19:37Speaker 1: why is kiss starmas slowly morphing into Donald Trump? Kosher
- 19:41Speaker 1: Gata has the details You're watching. The reader Paney Show,
- 19:56Speaker 1: and it's time for Left is losing it. Let's go
- 19:58Speaker 1: to the caln't feel first of all that the uber,
- 20:01Speaker 1: rich and famous gather to congratulate themselves about how special, brave,
- 20:06Speaker 1: humble and inclusive they are, and how they are at
- 20:09Speaker 1: the forefront of fighting fascism. Here is a once great
- 20:14Speaker 1: actor turned teds sufferer, Robert de Niro.
- 20:19Speaker 3: In my country, we're fighting like hell for the democracy
- 20:24Speaker 3: we once took for granted, and that affects all of us.
- 20:29Speaker 3: That affects all of us here because the art art,
- 20:33Speaker 3: democratic art is inclusive. It brings people together tonight. Art
- 20:40Speaker 3: looks for truth. Art embraces diversity, and that's why art
- 20:44Speaker 3: is a threat. That's why we are a threat to
- 20:49Speaker 3: autocrats and fascists.
- 20:52Speaker 1: Yes, the film industry is so inclusive, Robert, You actors
- 20:56Speaker 1: have such a perfect moral compass with your sick, sordid
- 21:01Speaker 1: personal lives. Did you notice global warming? Hysterically and out
- 21:04Speaker 1: of dicaprion stage there were DeNiro, the dude who flies
- 21:08Speaker 1: around the world in private jets and seals in massive yachts,
- 21:12Speaker 1: but is really really concerned about emissions. And as for
- 21:16Speaker 1: being inclusive, well, the fifty year old is not very
- 21:18Speaker 1: inclusive of women over twenty five, not in his dating
- 21:22Speaker 1: life anyway. But let's get back to Robert de Niro
- 21:25Speaker 1: as a mad rant. Here he lies with gay abandon.
- 21:29Speaker 3: America's philistine president has had himself appointed head of one
- 21:34Speaker 3: of our premier cultural institutions. He has cut funding and
- 21:39Speaker 3: support to the arts, humanities, and education. All these attacks
- 21:43Speaker 3: are unacceptable, and this isn't just an American problem, It's
- 21:48Speaker 3: a global one. Unlike a film, we can't just all
- 21:53Speaker 3: sit back and watch. We have to act, and we
- 21:57Speaker 3: have to act now.
- 21:59Speaker 1: We have to act. We have to act now. It's
- 22:02Speaker 1: amazing that Donald Trump, the fascist dictator, allows DeNiro to
- 22:06Speaker 1: defame him so easily. Why isn't he arresting him, putting
- 22:09Speaker 1: him in jail. Isn't that what dictators do? And isn't
- 22:13Speaker 1: that what we were told would happen. Remember when De
- 22:15Speaker 1: Niro and fellow Teds sufferer Bill Maher was saying before
- 22:20Speaker 1: the election, what would happen if Trump won?
- 22:23Speaker 3: If he is he wins the election, you won't be
- 22:27Speaker 3: on the show anymore.
- 22:29Speaker 1: He'll come looking for me.
- 22:33Speaker 3: There'll be things that happened that none of us can imagine.
- 22:38Speaker 3: That's what happens in that kind of a dictatorship, which
- 22:41Speaker 3: is what he says. Let's believe him. Take him at
- 22:43Speaker 3: his work.
- 22:44Speaker 1: I did from the beginning.
- 22:45Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean, I said from the very beginning, this
- 22:47Speaker 9: guy is never going to concede power.
- 22:50Speaker 1: No, he hasn't conceded power. He's your president. And once
- 22:54Speaker 1: you're dining with him at the White House, Bill Maher
- 22:56Speaker 1: and somehow Robert de Niro is still not locked up.
- 23:00Speaker 1: Here's another lefty losing it, actor Ben Stiller, who also
- 23:03Speaker 1: has crazy fever dreams about Trump coming after him.
- 23:08Speaker 10: It's impossible not to be aware of the fact that
- 23:13Speaker 10: people feel this, You know that, oh wow, you know
- 23:16Speaker 10: there can be retribution from the government if you say
- 23:19Speaker 10: something wrong, and that's really scary. So just to even
- 23:22Speaker 10: be thinking that way is you know. Of course I'm
- 23:25Speaker 10: aware of it. I think everybody's aware of it.
- 23:28Speaker 1: Can someone tell Ben Stiller that it was the previous
- 23:32Speaker 1: administration that went after grandmothers for posting funny memes and
- 23:36Speaker 1: sought to have school moms concerned about trans indoctrination in classrooms,
- 23:41Speaker 1: sought to have them labeled domestic terrorists. All these clowns
- 23:45Speaker 1: do is life he was really genuinely worried about repercussions
- 23:50Speaker 1: from the Trump administration. I can tell you Ben Stiller
- 23:52Speaker 1: would be keeping his mouth shut. One thing you can
- 23:55Speaker 1: say about Hollywood, they ain't brave. Here's another actor, Europe, Pascal,
- 24:01Speaker 1: And when he's not signing letters accusing Israel of genocide,
- 24:04Speaker 1: he's eager to tell you that being against the deportation
- 24:08Speaker 1: of illegal immigrants means he's on the right side of history.
- 24:13Speaker 11: I want people to be safe and to be protected,
- 24:17Speaker 11: and and I want very much to live on the
- 24:21Speaker 11: right side of history. And I'm an immigrant. My parents
- 24:24Speaker 11: are refugees from Chile. I myself was a refugee. We
- 24:27Speaker 11: fled a dictatorship, and I was privileged enough to grow
- 24:30Speaker 11: up in the US.
- 24:31Speaker 1: You know, in a world of miserable, hysterical clowns like
- 24:35Speaker 1: de Niro and Stilla, pays to be a Jerry. Here
- 24:40Speaker 1: is Jerry Seinfeld treating the loopy left with the disdain
- 24:44Speaker 1: they richly deserve.
- 24:47Speaker 12: You, Jerry Seinfeld, Paline, he was the genocideplicide.
- 24:59Speaker 1: Joy, you're the Jennie.
- 25:06Speaker 3: You ran it.
- 25:09Speaker 12: Resized read Holifide.
- 25:18Speaker 1: I love the kid blowing a kiss there at the end.
- 25:21Speaker 1: You know who is much funnier than many of these
- 25:23Speaker 1: triggered comics. It's forty five and forty seven.
- 25:27Speaker 12: Yes.
- 25:27Speaker 1: Potus was again cracking jokes earlier today describing how he
- 25:32Speaker 1: came to secure the Olympics for America after his twenty
- 25:37Speaker 1: sixteen election triumph.
- 25:39Speaker 13: When I spoke to this gentleman who was obviously Scandinavian,
- 25:44Speaker 13: seriously Scandinavian and very nice, I couldn't get him off
- 25:48Speaker 13: the phone because he was so starved for love. He
- 25:53Speaker 13: just kept I must have had him for two hours.
- 25:55Speaker 13: I couldn't. I said, sir, I have to go on
- 25:57Speaker 13: President elect. Yes all I said to him, yes, yes, yes,
- 26:01Speaker 13: we will take good care. They wanted to know that
- 26:03Speaker 13: if they choose us for the Olympics, will they will
- 26:06Speaker 13: we treat them nicely? And I said, We're going to
- 26:08Speaker 13: treat you like so well, like you've never been treated.
- 26:12Speaker 1: But it didn't stop at the Olympics. Trump also secured
- 26:15Speaker 1: the World Cup for America, and because of the twenty
- 26:19Speaker 1: twenty election shenanigans, he'll be president when both events take place.
- 26:25Speaker 10: And we got the World Cup.
- 26:26Speaker 13: I got them both, and I said, man, I won't
- 26:28Speaker 13: be president. I got the Olympics and the World Cup,
- 26:32Speaker 13: and I won't be president and they're going to forget
- 26:35Speaker 13: that I got them. Nobody's going to mention it, because
- 26:37Speaker 13: you know a little bit, that's the way life is.
- 26:40Speaker 13: And then they rigged the election. And then I said,
- 26:43Speaker 13: you know what I'll do. I'll run again and I'll
- 26:45Speaker 13: shove it up their ass. I then realized, I said,
- 26:49Speaker 13: you know what, I got the Olympics, I got the
- 26:53Speaker 13: World Cup, and I got the two hundred and fifties.
- 26:55Speaker 13: Look at the way this works out. So if they
- 26:57Speaker 13: would have left us alone and wouldn't have cheated on
- 27:00Speaker 13: the election and wouldn't have rigged it, I would have
- 27:03Speaker 13: been retired right now. I would have been happily doing
- 27:05Speaker 13: something else. And instead they have me for four more years.
- 27:08Speaker 13: Can you learn?
- 27:10Speaker 1: And when it comes to Trump, we know that the
- 27:12Speaker 1: opinion polls always understate his popularity. But the polls are
- 27:17Speaker 1: nevertheless turning, and even CNN is forced to acknowledge that
- 27:21Speaker 1: unhappy news unhappy for them.
- 27:25Speaker 14: I think it's time for a bit of a reality check.
- 27:28Speaker 14: Right we were going to late April Donald Trump's approval ratings.
- 27:31Speaker 14: That approval seemed to be falling. He seemed to be audios, amigos.
- 27:34Speaker 14: People were writing his political obituary.
- 27:36Speaker 15: He is rising from the dead.
- 27:37Speaker 14: Look at this, Hello, Trump's not approval rating among voters.
- 27:41Speaker 14: This is the Reuters Episodes polling.
- 27:42Speaker 8: Look at this.
- 27:43Speaker 14: In late April, he was eight points underwater. But look
- 27:45Speaker 14: at where he was in the most recent poll among voters.
- 27:48Speaker 14: He's up seven points.
- 27:50Speaker 1: Let's bring in Sky and his contributor Kosher Gaida Kosher.
- 27:53Speaker 1: It's not just the Ibsoce poll. A CNN noted in
- 27:56Speaker 1: that segment. His approval rating is up across numerous polls,
- 28:02Speaker 1: and you can kind of see why. With the Middle
- 28:04Speaker 1: East trip and some of these trade deals that are
- 28:08Speaker 1: being struck.
- 28:09Speaker 15: He just does this ball of energy and he doesn't stop.
- 28:12Speaker 15: He's just getting one thing done after the other after
- 28:14Speaker 15: it seems like eight years of or four years Underbiden
- 28:18Speaker 15: of just like nothing getting done. So just the contrast
- 28:20Speaker 15: in there. His policy positions are very popular, They've always
- 28:24Speaker 15: been popular. His personality is something that was always polarizing
- 28:27Speaker 15: and that shows through in these poll numbers. But now
- 28:30Speaker 15: even that gap seems to be closing, where the people
- 28:32Speaker 15: who loved him still love him, and a lot of
- 28:34Speaker 15: people who didn't love him. I think do respect him,
- 28:37Speaker 15: even if they don't admit it anymore, whether it's the
- 28:39Speaker 15: assassination attempts or just the way he's approaching this rule.
- 28:42Speaker 15: All of that, I think just call Ussis into these
- 28:45Speaker 15: poll numbers. They won't last forever, but he is certainly
- 28:47Speaker 15: riding high.
- 28:48Speaker 1: Now to James Comy has gone on MSNBC to defend
- 28:53Speaker 1: himself after he was questioned over what was seen as
- 28:57Speaker 1: a threat to President Domald truck. He posted this image
- 29:02Speaker 1: saying eighty six forty seven. He claims he had no
- 29:06Speaker 1: idea what those numbers meant.
- 29:10Speaker 9: You were back in the middle of a political firestorm.
- 29:14Speaker 16: Yeah, for walking on the beach with my wife, So
- 29:17Speaker 16: I don't know how we ended up here. Never occurred
- 29:19Speaker 16: to me that it was any kind of controversial thing,
- 29:21Speaker 16: but that's the time.
- 29:22Speaker 4: We live in.
- 29:25Speaker 1: Kosher really, I mean, he's claiming hered that eighty six
- 29:28Speaker 1: forty seven is just a clever way to express a
- 29:31Speaker 1: political viewpoint, and he didn't know of the violent meaning
- 29:35Speaker 1: behind the number eighty six. Explain to my audience why
- 29:40Speaker 1: that post caused such concern.
- 29:43Speaker 15: So forty seven obviously Trump so forty president in eighty
- 29:46Speaker 15: six in American slaying. It can mean something milder like
- 29:50Speaker 15: canceling an order at a diner, to something much more
- 29:53Speaker 15: sinister like ordering it.
- 29:54Speaker 1: Certainly in recent times it's been to kill for sure,
- 29:58Speaker 1: and theed rid of is the softer version.
- 30:00Speaker 15: But yes, and the point is it's not so much
- 30:03Speaker 15: the code, Like I don't even think people are alleging
- 30:05Speaker 15: that he's issuing some secret command off X. It is
- 30:08Speaker 15: that you are the former FBI director, so your position
- 30:12Speaker 15: carries weight, Your words carry weight, your tweets and ex
- 30:14Speaker 15: posts carry weight. And to just casually throw that thing
- 30:17Speaker 15: out there, even if he was doing it to be funny,
- 30:19Speaker 15: which I don't think people think of him as somebody
- 30:21Speaker 15: who'd be doing comedy on there. But even if he
- 30:24Speaker 15: were doing that, it's just irresponsible and that's why it
- 30:26Speaker 15: created this whole firestorm. And also it's a new day
- 30:28Speaker 15: where the Trump administration wants to be on offense and
- 30:31Speaker 15: go after these kinds of innuendos and insinuations from the
- 30:34Speaker 15: other side in a way that maybe they would not
- 30:36Speaker 15: have last time.
- 30:37Speaker 1: It's just an incredible thing for a former FBI director
- 30:39Speaker 1: to do, particularly against a president who's already had two
- 30:43Speaker 1: assassination attempts, and we always know there's threats against his life.
- 30:48Speaker 1: Just astonishing work.
- 30:49Speaker 15: There.
- 30:50Speaker 1: Now to another example of no one being above the law.
- 30:54Speaker 1: Introm Us Attorney Elena Haba has announced today that her
- 30:58Speaker 1: office has charged congress Woman Makaiva with violation of Title eighteen.
- 31:04Speaker 1: This is for our allegedly assaulting, impeding, and interfering with
- 31:09Speaker 1: law enforcement. Here is some footage of that incident. The
- 31:13Speaker 1: Democrat congresswoman is in red. In this footage. Those antiques
- 31:47Speaker 1: kosher are outside an ice facility in New Jersey immigration
- 31:52Speaker 1: detention center. Incredible. The Democrats think they can behave like
- 31:57Speaker 1: that with cameras there, with law enforcement and not had
- 32:01Speaker 1: some sort of an investigation or possible charges.
- 32:04Speaker 15: I think they believe that because it's never happened like
- 32:07Speaker 15: the other side. This never ever goes after anything like this.
- 32:10Speaker 15: And it started with words where they say, you know,
- 32:12Speaker 15: we will resist or I think it was the governor
- 32:15Speaker 15: of New Jersey or Connecticut or both of them who
- 32:17Speaker 15: said that they're hiding somebody on top of their garage.
- 32:20Speaker 15: Then it moved into trespassing. So the mayor of Newark,
- 32:23Speaker 15: in that same incident over there, was actually charged with trespassing,
- 32:26Speaker 15: and then those charges were dropped, and then it went
- 32:29Speaker 15: further where she's putting her hands on an officer, which
- 32:32Speaker 15: if anybody else of you or I did that, there
- 32:33Speaker 15: very well could and should be consequences to it. So
- 32:37Speaker 15: she thinks she's above the system because this is a
- 32:39Speaker 15: clashing of different branches of government, and the executive branch
- 32:42Speaker 15: with a congressional representative. However, nobody is above the law.
- 32:46Speaker 15: We've been told this for four years, and I think
- 32:48Speaker 15: they're finding out.
- 32:49Speaker 1: And there's calls for her to step down because when
- 32:52Speaker 1: there has been precedents with Republicans facing charges being forced
- 32:56Speaker 1: to step down before there was any trial or verdict.
- 33:01Speaker 1: I doubt that's going to happen, but we are seeing
- 33:04Speaker 1: the administration take these matters seriously. First with COMI with this,
- 33:09Speaker 1: they are not going to just let things go through
- 33:11Speaker 1: to the keeper as Republicans have in the past.
- 33:13Speaker 15: Definitely playing offense. And the other thing too, is so
- 33:16Speaker 15: the law maybe on their side, and the statute court
- 33:19Speaker 15: is still being you can find a law against anybody
- 33:21Speaker 15: if you want to bring it, and prosecutors can bring discretion.
- 33:24Speaker 15: They're bringing this discretion with offense because the other side
- 33:27Speaker 15: crossed the rubicon first. And for everybody crying that it's
- 33:30Speaker 15: politically motivated, I think the Countra argument to that is,
- 33:33Speaker 15: so what even if it is politically motivated, it has
- 33:35Speaker 15: been on the other side as well, and you've got
- 33:37Speaker 15: to play dirty and fight fire with fire is what
- 33:39Speaker 15: the Trump administration is called.
- 33:40Speaker 1: Absolutely, you had people connected with Trump people part of
- 33:43Speaker 1: the administration go to jail for things that people will
- 33:46Speaker 1: never really charged with. And so the appetite is there,
- 33:50Speaker 1: certainly within the Trump camp. If they want to play
- 33:53Speaker 1: these games, then we're going to play it by their
- 33:55Speaker 1: rules and it's going to come back to them. It's
- 33:57Speaker 1: not going to be a one way straight Yeah.
- 33:59Speaker 15: I think this is just the beginning, but it is
- 34:01Speaker 15: going to mushroom into a big issue right now and
- 34:04Speaker 15: it's certainly creating another political firestorm.
- 34:05Speaker 1: So we shall see.
- 34:06Speaker 3: Now.
- 34:07Speaker 1: Before we switched to the UK, and gosh, we've had
- 34:10Speaker 1: some developments there in recent days, what did you make
- 34:14Speaker 1: of Trump's Middle East tour? It was astonishing on so
- 34:19Speaker 1: many levels, the way he was faded, the speech he
- 34:24Speaker 1: gave basically saying the interventionist and neo cons got it
- 34:29Speaker 1: wrong and they caused a great deal of damage in
- 34:32Speaker 1: pursuing regime change, and it seemed to be one where
- 34:38Speaker 1: they were going to focus on the shared interest of
- 34:42Speaker 1: prosperity as well as peace. It seemed to be as
- 34:45Speaker 1: much about making business deals as it was about creating
- 34:49Speaker 1: long lasting piece.
- 34:50Speaker 15: It was really remarkable on so many levels. I call
- 34:53Speaker 15: it a deal making diplomacy because that is his way,
- 34:55Speaker 15: and bringing trillions of dollars of investment into the country,
- 34:58Speaker 15: at least on peoper and the diplomacy was about it
- 35:02Speaker 15: really was shunning his own party, the Republican Party, and
- 35:05Speaker 15: what they did in the Bush years and forever war
- 35:07Speaker 15: was kind of giving a nod or paying respects to
- 35:10Speaker 15: this very complex culture, imperfect as it may be, but
- 35:12Speaker 15: saying it is not the West's job to go and
- 35:14Speaker 15: impose themselves on that. And it was also notable, of course,
- 35:16Speaker 15: because he did not visit Israel and that controversy is
- 35:20Speaker 15: part of that region. But he was there for these
- 35:22Speaker 15: three countries and to have his mission of bringing money
- 35:25Speaker 15: back to the US.
- 35:26Speaker 1: And again people missed this in this country in particular.
- 35:31Speaker 1: But a lot of Trump's policy positions is what the
- 35:35Speaker 1: old school left used to have maybe a decade or
- 35:38Speaker 1: two ago. So it's hard for someone the left to
- 35:41Speaker 1: condemn this, given it's what they've been advocating for for
- 35:45Speaker 1: a long time. Now, let's switch to the UK and
- 35:49Speaker 1: Kiirs starma. He seems to be morphing into some new
- 35:52Speaker 1: age Trump. Let's have a look at some of the
- 35:55Speaker 1: stuff he's been posting online in recent times. This is
- 35:59Speaker 1: his late work. He said, if you work here illegally
- 36:03Speaker 1: or employ people who do, we're coming for you. Illegal
- 36:07Speaker 1: working raids are up forty percent and we won't stop there.
- 36:11Speaker 1: He posted that on Sunday. The day before he posted this,
- 36:14Speaker 1: For too long Britain has been addicted to cheap overseas labor,
- 36:19Speaker 1: while one in eight of our own young people aren't
- 36:22Speaker 1: in education, employment or training. I'm putting our young people first,
- 36:26Speaker 1: Britain first, oh, investing in skills they need, and ending
- 36:31Speaker 1: our dependence on foreign labor. A week earlier, he posted this.
- 36:35Speaker 1: This is kir Starmer, the British Prime Minister. He said,
- 36:38Speaker 1: if you want to live in the UK, you should
- 36:41Speaker 1: speak English. That's common sense. So we're raising English language
- 36:45Speaker 1: requirements across every main immigration route. And this settlement in
- 36:51Speaker 1: the UK is a privilege that is earned not a right. Again,
- 36:56Speaker 1: this isn't Donald Trump saying, this is Kirs Starman. And
- 36:59Speaker 1: finally this he said, the Tories lost control of our
- 37:02Speaker 1: borders and let net migrations saw to record levels, undercutting
- 37:07Speaker 1: hard working Brits. I won't stand for it. I promised
- 37:11Speaker 1: to restore control and cut migration and I'm delivering with
- 37:15Speaker 1: tough new measures British workers. I've got your back, Kosher.
- 37:18Speaker 1: What is going on? How is this open borders leftist
- 37:23Speaker 1: morphing into Donald Trump? If you didn't tell me that
- 37:25Speaker 1: was a Keir Starmer And he asked me which world
- 37:28Speaker 1: leader had posted those tweets, I'd say Donald Trump.
- 37:33Speaker 15: Talkcolate, a metamorphosis, and that is some weapons grade cajones
- 37:36Speaker 15: as they say, for him to just go and do
- 37:38Speaker 15: that one eedy. And I think the reason is those
- 37:40Speaker 15: are extremely popular positions. They have been for the better
- 37:43Speaker 15: part of forty years in the UK, in Australia, in America,
- 37:46Speaker 15: in Canada, in the West. And it was a wide
- 37:49Speaker 15: opening in the field that the right side of the
- 37:52Speaker 15: aisle for the most part failed to take in country
- 37:55Speaker 15: after country. And so he's taking it because it's a
- 37:58Speaker 15: wide opening and he knows his pop bel it's politically
- 38:00Speaker 15: expedient and on some level you've got admire it because
- 38:03Speaker 15: the left place to win and they will do what
- 38:05Speaker 15: the other side failed to.
- 38:06Speaker 1: Well, yeah, I mean words are cheap, The redtric is there.
- 38:09Speaker 1: Whether it's actually be backed up by action is another thing.
- 38:13Speaker 1: Whether they've got the appetite to follow through. But they're
- 38:16Speaker 1: worried about reform. Nigel Farage. We hear so much here
- 38:20Speaker 1: about how Donald Trump costs the Liberals the election, despite
- 38:24Speaker 1: the fact that they went in with a labor like policy.
- 38:27Speaker 1: Farage is fine about closing up to Trump, copying some
- 38:31Speaker 1: of that ideology, and he's doing brilliantly. He's polling and
- 38:36Speaker 1: also just the recent council elections and by elections he
- 38:39Speaker 1: did particularly well.
- 38:41Speaker 15: And that's the other reason for this is politically expedient,
- 38:43Speaker 15: as you say, and I think he Starmer's trying to
- 38:45Speaker 15: neutralize Frage as much as he can. But you're right,
- 38:48Speaker 15: words are cheap, and if they don't follow through, they
- 38:50Speaker 15: might do a token move here and there. But if
- 38:52Speaker 15: they don't follow through, that issue Forrage owns. So I
- 38:56Speaker 15: think it'll be hard for Stromer to take.
- 38:57Speaker 1: That away from it, and really shame on the Tories.
- 39:00Speaker 1: They were in government for so long and they governed
- 39:05Speaker 1: like labor. Were talking about the Liberals here having labor
- 39:07Speaker 1: like policies. We have Tories governments who thought they were
- 39:10Speaker 1: the Labor party. Now, before you go leftist activists and
- 39:13Speaker 1: football broadcaster Gary Lineker will no longer be a presenter
- 39:18Speaker 1: for the BBC after reposting on Instagram a story about
- 39:23Speaker 1: Zionism which featured a picture of a rat, an image
- 39:27Speaker 1: widely perceived as virulently anti Semitic. Kosher Linka is the
- 39:33Speaker 1: BBC's highest paid presenter, is getting paid more than two
- 39:37Speaker 1: point six million a year and he's got a long
- 39:41Speaker 1: track record of this sort of activism. This is at
- 39:44Speaker 1: new He seems to be a leftist activist first and
- 39:47Speaker 1: football commentator second.
- 39:49Speaker 15: Indeed, this is a big scalp though, and I think
- 39:52Speaker 15: this is a bridge too far. So there are other
- 39:54Speaker 15: examples of darlings of the left like Mehdi Hassan comes
- 39:57Speaker 15: to mind. For example, was fired for making not similar
- 40:00Speaker 15: but topics comments around the same topic and especially Israel
- 40:04Speaker 15: and Gaza and then veering into anti Semitism. So you
- 40:08Speaker 15: reap what you saw, as they say, in that case,
- 40:11Speaker 15: there is a little bit where people say, as you
- 40:13Speaker 15: point out that he was saying all sorts of controversial
- 40:15Speaker 15: political things for years against the rage against other groups
- 40:18Speaker 15: and never had his scalp taken. This though, is the
- 40:21Speaker 15: bridge too far and he probably didn't see it coming.
- 40:23Speaker 1: And you know what, you would feel sorry for someone who,
- 40:26Speaker 1: you might say, in this case has been a victim
- 40:28Speaker 1: of canceled culture. But Gary Ldeker was such an enthusiastic
- 40:32Speaker 1: backer of cancel culture that there ain't no sympathy here.
- 40:36Speaker 1: Kosher Gaina, thank you so much for your time. Today,
- 40:38Speaker 1: still to come, experts raise concerns about the timing of
- 40:42Speaker 1: Joe Biden's cancer diagnosis. Alex Stein has the details back,
- 41:00Speaker 1: joining me now as comedian and host of Primetime with
- 41:03Speaker 1: Alex Stein on Blaze TV. Alex Stein himself, let's start
- 41:08Speaker 1: with the curious timing of former President Joe Biden's cancer diagnosis,
- 41:13Speaker 1: and there have been no shortage of experts coming out
- 41:16Speaker 1: to dispute the claims that the cancer was discovered just
- 41:20Speaker 1: in recent days.
- 41:22Speaker 16: I'm a prostate cancer patient. I work on the bard
- 41:24Speaker 16: of the Prostate Cancer Foundation. I know a lot about
- 41:27Speaker 16: this illness. I've treated it for forty years and when
- 41:30Speaker 16: I saw them say, hey, we found a nodule, already,
- 41:33Speaker 16: my spidy sense was up because we really don't do
- 41:35Speaker 16: the digital rectal exam anymore. We follow the PSA and
- 41:39Speaker 16: we found this nodule, and oh, my goodness, he's got
- 41:42Speaker 16: metastatic disease. I thought, no, it does not pass the
- 41:44Speaker 16: sniff test. If indeed he was diagnosed to a couple
- 41:46Speaker 16: of years ago and he has metastatic disease, he would
- 41:49Speaker 16: be subjected to something called androgen deprivation therapy. That's the
- 41:53Speaker 16: treatment for his condition. And they're trying to avoid saying
- 41:57Speaker 16: that he's been on there for a while because some
- 42:00Speaker 16: of the common side effects include muscular wasting and muscular
- 42:04Speaker 16: instability and falls and cognitive slowing and fatigue. We've seen
- 42:09Speaker 16: that Eve all over the last two years, and so
- 42:11Speaker 16: my suspicion is he's been on andgrim deprivation therapy and
- 42:15Speaker 16: they've known about this for a long time, Alex.
- 42:18Speaker 1: We really to believe that the President of the United
- 42:22Speaker 1: States was not having regular checkups, regular blood tests, and
- 42:27Speaker 1: they discovered this cancer at this late stage.
- 42:32Speaker 6: Well, Rita, I think it's pretty obvious that they had
- 42:34Speaker 6: to have some sort of prior knowledge about you know,
- 42:37Speaker 6: this terrible diagnosis for President Biden. And I think it
- 42:41Speaker 6: was actually Laura Lumer who reported that they might have
- 42:45Speaker 6: you found this cancer diagnosis when he was on Air
- 42:49Speaker 6: Force One heading from I think it was Las Vegas
- 42:53Speaker 6: back to Washington, d C. Now, I know that's not confirmed,
- 42:56Speaker 6: but I think it's obvious that they probably had prior
- 42:59Speaker 6: knowledge of this cancer.
- 43:01Speaker 1: And I don't know how long I would think it bad.
- 43:03Speaker 1: Try knowledge well before that, Alex. I mean, from what
- 43:07Speaker 1: I'm understanding from experts in the field, these sort of
- 43:11Speaker 1: regular blood tests would show this up many years ago.
- 43:15Speaker 1: And we played a video last night from around two
- 43:18Speaker 1: years ago when Joe Biden said on stage about having cancer,
- 43:23Speaker 1: and his people said he was a gaff but it
- 43:25Speaker 1: seemed to be a pretty clear statement. He even attributed
- 43:28Speaker 1: the cause. He was talking about the pollution in the
- 43:31Speaker 1: area where he grew up. But already, Alex, the pushes
- 43:35Speaker 1: on from Democrats and their propaganda arm to go easy
- 43:40Speaker 1: on Joe Biden given this diagnosis. Let's have a look
- 43:43Speaker 1: at CNN.
- 43:45Speaker 9: His medical condition. Now he's announced medical condition. Now do
- 43:48Speaker 9: you believe that silences or delays a lot of conversations
- 43:56Speaker 9: about his you know, last year and a half for now, yeah.
- 44:03Speaker 16: Well, I mean I think those conversations are going to happen,
- 44:07Speaker 16: but they should be more muted.
- 44:10Speaker 14: And set aside for now as he's struggling through this.
- 44:17Speaker 1: Alex, do you agree that conversations about Biden's cognitive issues
- 44:22Speaker 1: should be muted now?
- 44:25Speaker 6: Well, I think we should have these tough conversations. But Rita,
- 44:28Speaker 6: you know, the real elephant in the room is I
- 44:29Speaker 6: wouldn't have been surprised if they didn't want, you know,
- 44:32Speaker 6: something tragic to happen to Joe Biden, so they could
- 44:34Speaker 6: have put Kamala Harris in. I think it is very weird,
- 44:37Speaker 6: you know that they were talking about this two years
- 44:39Speaker 6: ago and then now they magically bring it up. So
- 44:42Speaker 6: I think we just need to talk about the presidency,
- 44:44Speaker 6: honestly about you know, what he just did for the
- 44:47Speaker 6: past four years, but also be respectful of this horrible
- 44:50Speaker 6: thing that's happened happening to him. So it's a delicate,
- 44:54Speaker 6: you know, tightrope to walk, but I think we can
- 44:57Speaker 6: walk it, and we should be able to criticize his
- 44:59Speaker 6: presidency while also being empathetic to this horrible diagnosis.
- 45:05Speaker 1: Now let's have a look at this character. This is
- 45:07Speaker 1: doctor Kevin O'Connor, Joe Biden's White House physician. He repeatedly
- 45:14Speaker 1: declared the president was fit and well, mentally and physically
- 45:17Speaker 1: fit to serve. He probably has some questions to answer their, Alex,
- 45:22Speaker 1: But what are the decisions that Joe Biden made when
- 45:26Speaker 1: he was cognitively unsound, perhaps depleted even further due to
- 45:31Speaker 1: intensive treatments in his final days. We know he pardoned
- 45:36Speaker 1: a bunch of people, including his son Hunter and doctor
- 45:39Speaker 1: Anthony Fauci. The head of the Justice Department's Weaponization Working
- 45:44Speaker 1: Group at Martin, posted this. He said, the integrity of
- 45:48Speaker 1: the American pardon system requires that we examine the Biden
- 45:52Speaker 1: pardons and who did what We will get to the
- 45:56Speaker 1: bottom of it. Count on us. Are those pardons in
- 46:00Speaker 1: in peril now?
- 46:01Speaker 6: Alex Well, from the research that I've done, it's very
- 46:05Speaker 6: hard to overturn a pardon. But they had an auto
- 46:07Speaker 6: pen presidency. Joe Biden was not in control. They had
- 46:11Speaker 6: a signature, They had the ability to put it on
- 46:13Speaker 6: any sort of document or any sort of pardon that
- 46:16Speaker 6: they wanted. So will we get any retribution? I highly
- 46:20Speaker 6: doubt it, but some of the judges that were getting
- 46:22Speaker 6: kickbacks and putting juveniles in prison, those judges whose crow
- 46:25Speaker 6: judges should have never been pardoned. So it's a horrible
- 46:29Speaker 6: injustice of what they did with the Parton system.
- 46:34Speaker 1: And the bizarre Hunter Biden pardon which went into the
- 46:39Speaker 1: future dates. I mean, that was something that Biden pledged
- 46:43Speaker 1: he would not do, and he did it. Now, I
- 46:46Speaker 1: want to play you a clip of a female soccer star.
- 46:51Speaker 1: Got to say, I've never heard of this character before.
- 46:53Speaker 1: Her name is Ashlyn Harris, and apparently she is an
- 46:58Speaker 1: exceptional person.
- 46:59Speaker 17: Just know what it's like to live at the top
- 47:04Speaker 17: and the air is very thin, and I choose to
- 47:08Speaker 17: be exceptional every single day, Like it is literally a choice.
- 47:12Speaker 17: Like I wake up and I'm like, I don't know
- 47:16Speaker 17: what it's like just to choose to be average, Like
- 47:18Speaker 17: I don't with average people. They make me uncomfortable. I
- 47:22Speaker 17: don't like to be in the same rooms, in the
- 47:24Speaker 17: same spaces. I think, like, it's contagious.
- 47:29Speaker 1: Wow, Alex, I thought that will satire, but apparently it's serious.
- 47:35Speaker 1: What else can you tell me about this one? Because
- 47:37Speaker 1: I'm suddenly fascinating. She seems to be just cringe on steroids.
- 47:44Speaker 6: No, she's a genius. Now listen, if you're not on
- 47:46Speaker 6: her level, if you're not one hundred percent any amateurs
- 47:49Speaker 6: around Mayad, I agree, get out of here. I don't
- 47:52Speaker 6: like to be I don't like to interact with anybody
- 47:54Speaker 6: unless they're a millionaire. So, no, she's on the right.
- 47:58Speaker 6: Everything that she's doing exactly right. If you're not a millionaire,
- 48:01Speaker 6: if you're not grinding every single day, you're not my friends.
- 48:04Speaker 6: So I like where her head is that I'm going
- 48:06Speaker 6: to go follow her right now, Rita, we need more
- 48:08Speaker 6: people that are more cutthroat like that. That's a problem
- 48:11Speaker 6: in America. We're all too soft. We need some more
- 48:13Speaker 6: vicious killers like Ashland.
- 48:18Speaker 1: Well, yeah, a goalkeeper. But apparently she's just one of
- 48:22Speaker 1: the most exceptional people in the country. And I can
- 48:25Speaker 1: see why you like her. She's kind of got that
- 48:29Speaker 1: same sticky do you but you do it as satire.
- 48:33Speaker 1: She's doing it seriously. Alex, I'm going to say, I'm
- 48:35Speaker 1: a little bit concerned.
- 48:38Speaker 6: No, you're exactly right. Obviously she's an athlete and she
- 48:41Speaker 6: probably had the big ego, but you know, the women's
- 48:44Speaker 6: soccer team, it wasn't that long ago where they got
- 48:47Speaker 6: beaten by a bunch of under sixteen men's players. So
- 48:50Speaker 6: you know, these are under sixteen years old. So I
- 48:52Speaker 6: think I wanted to be a little check their ego
- 48:55Speaker 6: a little bit. But she's a good player, you know what,
- 48:58Speaker 6: She's competitive. I'll let I'll let it slide this time.
- 49:01Speaker 1: Just pretend to be humble, Alex. Just pretend to be humble,
- 49:04Speaker 1: even if you're not Alex Stein. Thank you so much
- 49:07Speaker 1: for your time tonight. And that's it from me. I'll
- 49:09Speaker 1: see you at eleven tomorrow and I I don't go anywhere.
- 49:12Speaker 1: New's Night is up next
