0:02
Speaker 1: On Sky Loves Australia.
0:05
Speaker 2: This is the Wider Panalty Show.
0:09
Speaker 3: Good evening and welcome to the Rita Panety Show. Coming
0:11
Speaker 3: up tonight, ABC bias exposed again.
0:14
Speaker 4: After the BBC's editing.
0:16
Speaker 3: Scandal led to two high profile nations. Patrick Carline and
0:21
Speaker 3: Colleen Harkin will join me to discuss the day's top headlines.
0:25
Speaker 4: Men set to be banned.
0:26
Speaker 3: From competing in women's sports at the Olympics.
0:29
Speaker 4: I'll speak to Stephanie Bashin about that.
0:32
Speaker 3: And will also cover the extraordinary antiques of Australia's Sex
0:36
Speaker 3: Discrimination Commissioner.
0:38
Speaker 4: Kosher Gator will have the latest from the US, including
0:41
Speaker 4: the post.
0:41
Speaker 3: Shutdown tantrums, and Alex Stein will tell me about the
0:45
Speaker 3: celebrities taking a stand against the Left's cancel culture. And
0:50
Speaker 3: we feature a new gender identity in Lefties Losing It.
0:55
Speaker 5: Broadly speaking, it means people who are not men but
0:58
Speaker 5: generally femme in so who are also attracted to people
1:02
Speaker 5: who are not men and in some way but first.
1:05
Speaker 3: A massive natal titive claim has been launched in Victoria,
1:09
Speaker 3: covering metropolitan Melbourne and thousands of square kilometers in surrounding
1:14
Speaker 3: areas stretching from Mount Bauboor in eastern Victoria cross to
1:18
Speaker 3: Mordiallic Creek in the west. The native title claim would
1:22
Speaker 3: apply to crownland within that area, not private homes, businesses
1:27
Speaker 3: or infrastructure. The claim was filed in the Federal Court
1:30
Speaker 3: yesterday by the War and Jury Warong People and comes
1:35
Speaker 3: a week after the Victorian Labor government passed its controversial
1:39
Speaker 3: treaty agreement with Indigenous Victorians.
1:42
Speaker 4: Joining me now for more on.
1:43
Speaker 3: This is NEWSCORPS Senior writer Patrick Carline and Institute of
1:47
Speaker 3: Public Affairs Research fellow Colleen Harken. Patrick, this is a
1:52
Speaker 3: massive stretch of land of crownland and there are six
1:56
Speaker 3: other Native title applications encompass. Seeing most of Victoria before
2:02
Speaker 3: the courts.
2:03
Speaker 2: Yes, look, I think the point here it comes right
2:05
Speaker 2: on the back of the treaty going through a couple
2:08
Speaker 2: of weeks ago. And look that treaty was done by stealth.
2:11
Speaker 2: No one really understands it. It brings in the question,
2:15
Speaker 2: as George or would say, some Victorians are equal than
2:19
Speaker 2: other Victorians under the treaty. And it's the language. It's
2:24
Speaker 2: so vague when you're talking about native title, you're talking
2:27
Speaker 2: about treaties. I think the Native title claim talks about
2:30
Speaker 2: decision making processes. What does that actually mean in reality?
2:34
Speaker 4: Exactly?
2:35
Speaker 2: And look, you've got a very cynical electorate at the moment.
2:38
Speaker 2: We saw that with the Voice. Why is this happening now?
2:42
Speaker 3: Well, Colleen, we voted no to the Voice. Victoria voted
2:46
Speaker 3: no quite resoundingly, given that the no campaign barely spent
2:51
Speaker 3: any money campaign here because it's expensive to advertise and
2:56
Speaker 3: had limited resources. And still majority of Victorian said no.
3:01
Speaker 3: And yet here we are, we're told traditional laws and
3:04
Speaker 3: customs of the war injury people relating to rights and
3:07
Speaker 3: responsibilities for country are at the center of this native
3:11
Speaker 3: title claim.
3:12
Speaker 4: What does that mean exactly?
3:13
Speaker 3: And again, where is the respect for the democratic process
3:20
Speaker 3: And the fact that two years ago Victorian said no
3:23
Speaker 3: to this sort of racial.
3:24
Speaker 6: Yeah, of course. And look, this is two Aboriginal clans
3:30
Speaker 6: re litigating history in order that one of them can
3:33
Speaker 6: actually then move forward to treaty with the government. So
3:36
Speaker 6: we've spoken before about treaties within treaties and states within states,
3:40
Speaker 6: and this is where it's heading, and it will lead
3:43
Speaker 6: inevitably to increasing regulation.
3:46
Speaker 4: And restrictions and cost.
3:48
Speaker 6: What we used to have was one law and one
3:50
Speaker 6: framework which may not have been perfect, but it was
3:53
Speaker 6: working fine. And now we're moving towards this sort of
3:56
Speaker 6: multi layered co governance sort of scenario which pits you know,
4:01
Speaker 6: people of warn ancestry against another and it's just leading
4:05
Speaker 6: to chaos quite frankly.
4:06
Speaker 3: But let's move to revelations of the ABC committed a
4:11
Speaker 3: similar journalistic sin to the BBC, the UK's public broadcaster,
4:16
Speaker 3: which has seen its director General Tim Davey and head
4:19
Speaker 3: of News Debra Tournett's resign after the network a deceptively doctored.
4:25
Speaker 4: Footage of a Donald Trump speech.
4:27
Speaker 3: It's now been revealed that the ABC's Four Corners program
4:30
Speaker 3: editor Trump's January sixth address in a similar fashion to
4:35
Speaker 3: the BBC. Daily Telegraph columnist Tim Blair wrote about this
4:39
Speaker 3: in today's paper, and he makes this very important point.
4:43
Speaker 3: Unlike the ABC, the BBC actually corrects itself when it
4:46
Speaker 3: commits a dreadful, ideologically driven abomination, and every single mistake
4:52
Speaker 3: the BBC ever makes, just like the ABC, always goes
4:56
Speaker 3: in the same anti conservative direction. Colleen, it really is
5:00
Speaker 3: quite a coincidence. There's all these innocent mistakes, there's no bias,
5:04
Speaker 3: there's no institutional bias. But all the mistakes are in
5:06
Speaker 3: the one direction. But how is the ABC getting away
5:09
Speaker 3: with it?
5:10
Speaker 6: Funny about that look. Even in the ABC's own news,
5:13
Speaker 6: own reporting, it says that last year they had twenty
5:16
Speaker 6: five thousand complaints, seven thousand of which were about inaccuracy
5:21
Speaker 6: or biased. And it does beg the question because the
5:24
Speaker 6: ABC and the BBC have the same mandate in terms
5:27
Speaker 6: of using public money and an obligation to impartiality. I
5:31
Speaker 6: don't understand why the ABC keep getting a free kick.
5:35
Speaker 3: Well, Patrick, Let's hear from the BBC's former head of
5:39
Speaker 3: News now, Deborah Turnez, who resigned over this scandal. She
5:44
Speaker 3: maintains that the BBC is not biased.
5:47
Speaker 7: I step down over the weekend because the box stops
5:50
Speaker 7: with me. But I'd like to make one thing very clear.
5:53
Speaker 7: BBC News is not institutionally biased. That's why it's the
5:58
Speaker 7: world's most trusted news provider.
6:02
Speaker 8: Why did you fail? Why did you fail to mistakes
6:05
Speaker 8: that were.
6:05
Speaker 7: Man seeing my teams? Thank you so much.
6:08
Speaker 9: Do you think that the journalist Solar institution a corrupt
6:11
Speaker 9: like President.
6:12
Speaker 7: Trum Do you think the journals are journalists aren't corrupt?
6:15
Speaker 7: Our journalists are hard working people who strive for impartiality,
6:19
Speaker 7: and I will stand by their journalism.
6:21
Speaker 10: Is there institutional bias?
6:22
Speaker 7: There is no institutional bias. And mistakes are made, but
6:25
Speaker 7: there's no institutional bias they.
6:27
Speaker 3: Have at patricks Is there's there's no institutional bias. And
6:31
Speaker 3: BBC journalists strive for impartiality, perhaps they should strive a
6:35
Speaker 3: little bit harder.
6:36
Speaker 2: Absolutely, Look, the perception thing is critical here, whether it's
6:39
Speaker 2: the ABC or the BBAC, the viewers need to believe
6:43
Speaker 2: that you're actually striving to tell the truth. And there
6:46
Speaker 2: have been a lot of instances, whether it's been Israel
6:48
Speaker 2: or Gaza or pro transgender ideology, where it seems that
6:54
Speaker 2: activism has actually pervaded the news process. These aren't news
6:58
Speaker 2: stories in some of these examples. These are actually activists
7:01
Speaker 2: actually pushing barrows. And you can't be a journalist and
7:04
Speaker 2: be an activist at the same time.
7:06
Speaker 4: You can't.
7:07
Speaker 3: And if you want to express your opinions through your work,
7:12
Speaker 3: then you know you need to host a program like this.
7:15
Speaker 3: You can't be a supposed news reporter who's supposed to
7:19
Speaker 3: be completely unbiased. Your personal worldview should have absolutely no
7:24
Speaker 3: bearing on putting to air. But those lines are completely blurred, Colleen,
7:28
Speaker 3: It's very evident now. It's probably why trust in the
7:31
Speaker 3: media is plummeting because the news.
7:36
Speaker 4: Journalists have decided they're also opinion leaders.
7:39
Speaker 6: Yeah, and they think that it's within their right to
7:42
Speaker 6: be able to do that. The public expects, particularly places
7:45
Speaker 6: like the ABC, because it does haven the oners of
7:49
Speaker 6: reporting using the public funds. It is its job to
7:53
Speaker 6: report with impartiality the facts, not what they actually would
7:56
Speaker 6: like you to believe.
7:58
Speaker 11: Nah.
7:59
Speaker 3: The Business Council of Australia has again ranked Victoria as
8:04
Speaker 3: the worst state to do business because of high taxes
8:07
Speaker 3: and excessive red tape continuing to hamper businesses across the state.
8:12
Speaker 3: The Business Council of Australia Chief Executive Brand Black said
8:16
Speaker 3: businesses in Victoria are crying out for policy commitments to
8:20
Speaker 3: cut regulation and tax that support private sector led economic growth.
8:25
Speaker 3: South Australia is leading the nation and shows us that
8:28
Speaker 3: cutting unnecessary red tape and designing efficient regulations is not
8:33
Speaker 3: just good for business, it's good for workers and communities.
8:38
Speaker 4: Colleen, What is the Alan government doing to address this issue? Praise?
8:42
Speaker 3: Therefore, South Australia it's another labor state, so this isn't
8:47
Speaker 3: necessarily a party aligned thing.
8:51
Speaker 4: It's about policies. Good policies, Yeah, correct.
8:54
Speaker 6: I mean the IPA last you did a state economic
8:57
Speaker 6: schoolcard and also had Victoria at the bottom of the list.
9:02
Speaker 6: Victoria is, you know, the highest payroll tax, the highest
9:07
Speaker 6: land tax, and the highest stamp duty. In its term,
9:10
Speaker 6: it has introduced sixty new or increased taxes across the board.
9:16
Speaker 6: You know, we are the worst performing state in the nation.
9:21
Speaker 6: And I think it's a great opportunity for the opposition
9:23
Speaker 6: with the election coming up next year because things are
9:25
Speaker 6: actually only going to get worse for us because of
9:27
Speaker 6: the treaty and the working from home petition that the
9:30
Speaker 6: state government have taken. Doing business in Victoria is just
9:32
Speaker 6: going to get harder and harder. And there are other alternatives, and.
9:36
Speaker 3: That's the problem for the state. Businesses will just up
9:40
Speaker 3: and go. If some of them can go internationally, some
9:43
Speaker 3: of them will move into state. But we are have
9:48
Speaker 3: enormous tax burden here because of the debt. We've got
9:52
Speaker 3: the highest debt of any state.
9:54
Speaker 2: Look, I think that's the point we've been gouted, whether
9:56
Speaker 2: we're businesses or people individuals because the government is trying
10:01
Speaker 2: to find money to repay these really bad investments, tens
10:05
Speaker 2: of beans dollars. We're bankrupt basically. So you've got all
10:09
Speaker 2: these taxes that keep on sort of creeping in weekly.
10:14
Speaker 2: There's a new tax, something gets doubled with every week
10:16
Speaker 2: in Victoria, like the pet Levey got doubled a couple.
10:20
Speaker 8: Of weeks ago.
10:21
Speaker 2: Why it's to pay off these massive debts.
10:25
Speaker 3: Well, who would have thought colleen shutting down then, well,
10:28
Speaker 3: most of the state for six periods during COVID would
10:33
Speaker 3: have some sort of economic consequences. This is what was
10:37
Speaker 3: mind blowing to me at the time. I was writing
10:39
Speaker 3: about this every single day for the Herald Sun.
10:42
Speaker 4: Because these policies were popular.
10:45
Speaker 3: People were so scared and just spooked by the hysteria
10:52
Speaker 3: that they thought shutting down schools, shutting down businesses, shutting
10:57
Speaker 3: down society was a reasonable response to what, in the
11:01
Speaker 3: end was a pandemic. But it was also one that
11:04
Speaker 3: was far less deadly than many people believed it was
11:08
Speaker 3: because of the hysteria.
11:09
Speaker 6: And that is proven in if you compare Victoria with
11:13
Speaker 6: other states. You know what financially and to people's mental health,
11:17
Speaker 6: the social development, all of those things, but Victoria also
11:20
Speaker 6: has the extra burden of our builds, our big builds,
11:23
Speaker 6: and the overrun of costs and time on so many
11:26
Speaker 6: of our projects here. So everywhere you look around, we
11:30
Speaker 6: are quite a dysfunctional state.
11:32
Speaker 3: Unfortunately, yep, we are broken and broken and Infrastructure Victoria
11:38
Speaker 3: has unveiled a new blueprint for this state which recommends
11:42
Speaker 3: thirty kilometers speed.
11:44
Speaker 4: Limits in school areas and.
11:46
Speaker 3: Other local streets, despite vehement opposition from locals.
11:50
Speaker 4: Patrick, every single report like.
11:54
Speaker 3: This that comes out seems to have some sort of
11:56
Speaker 3: anti car bias, the hate cars, the hate that people
12:00
Speaker 3: drive cars that want they think, I don't know. We
12:02
Speaker 3: live in Paris, where you can walk everywhere, and they
12:06
Speaker 3: want cars speed limits of thirty I mean, really, what's
12:10
Speaker 3: the point Have.
12:10
Speaker 2: You tried to drive at thirty now? It's impossible. It's hard,
12:13
Speaker 2: It is really hard. And I think the thing here
12:16
Speaker 2: is every pedestrian death is a tragedy. Of course it is,
12:20
Speaker 2: but we're sort of reducing the limits to absurd sort
12:23
Speaker 2: of speed limits. What about pedestrian education. I mean a
12:27
Speaker 2: lot of people are wearing headphones. Now, we've got electric
12:29
Speaker 2: cars that don't make any noise. I would suspect without
12:33
Speaker 2: knowing that most of these accidents actually happen on the road.
12:37
Speaker 2: They might have been for these poor people to get hurt,
12:40
Speaker 2: They might have been avoidable if they'd sort of been
12:43
Speaker 2: better educated. Why aren't we looking at that well?
12:45
Speaker 4: Especially yeah, for youngsters.
12:47
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm guilty of it myself, Colleen, But I
12:50
Speaker 3: mean when if we're see a big public awareness campaign
12:53
Speaker 3: for young people about the dangers of wearing headphones, noise
12:59
Speaker 3: can sling headphones and crossing streets.
13:02
Speaker 6: Yeah, sure, But I see this as more than that, Reta,
13:05
Speaker 6: because this is also a plan to increase the population
13:07
Speaker 6: of Victoria to eleven and a half million people, high
13:11
Speaker 6: density living, no cars. As you say, they're terrible things
13:15
Speaker 6: for anybody to own. And it is literally social re
13:19
Speaker 6: engineering of the way we live that is destroying our
13:21
Speaker 6: Australian way of life. And it's masquerading as pretty buck paths.
13:26
Speaker 6: So I see it as a much They do beautiful drawings.
13:29
Speaker 3: The illustrations of these reports are always delightful, just you know,
13:33
Speaker 3: families all on bikes as if we're living in Amsterdam.
13:38
Speaker 3: Patrick Carlin and Colleen Harken, thanks for your time today.
13:41
Speaker 3: The International Olympic Committee will finally ban biological men from
13:45
Speaker 3: competing in women's sport. The ban is expected to come
13:48
Speaker 3: into effect over the next six to twelve months, with
13:50
Speaker 3: the new IOC president, Kirsty Coventry promising to protect the
13:55
Speaker 3: female category. This follows the debacle we saw at the
13:59
Speaker 3: Summer Olympics in Harris, where boxes Immand Khalif and lin
14:03
Speaker 3: U Ting won gold medals despite failing gender eligibility test
14:09
Speaker 3: at the International Boxing Association a year earlier. As Jacqueline
14:14
Speaker 3: Magne notes in the Australian newspaper Today, now that the
14:17
Speaker 3: new body World Boxing has introduced a cheek swap for
14:21
Speaker 3: sex testing, it is not a coincidence that both Khalif
14:24
Speaker 3: and lin U Ting are missing from the ring and
14:27
Speaker 3: both will not be allowed to compete until they've taken
14:31
Speaker 3: that swap test and are shown to have XX chromosomes.
14:35
Speaker 3: Let's bring in Women's Forum Australia Head of Advocacy Stephanie Bastien.
14:39
Speaker 3: Steph this is a win for women, it's a win
14:43
Speaker 3: for rationality and most importantly it's a win for fairness.
14:49
Speaker 12: Paul Good Evening Reader, Yes, absolutely, we are delighted by
14:52
Speaker 12: the announcement. Obviously we want to see this policy it's
14:55
Speaker 12: yet to be revealed, and we want to understand how
14:58
Speaker 12: they're going to force into national sporting federations to apply
15:03
Speaker 12: at the moment. For example, while World Boxing has rules
15:06
Speaker 12: based on biological sex, World cycling still has the testosterone tests.
15:11
Speaker 12: It would be great for the IOC to ensure that
15:14
Speaker 12: all these sporting bodies bring in safe and fair measures
15:17
Speaker 12: for women on the basis of biology rather than just
15:20
Speaker 12: their attendance at the Olympics. So really delighted with today's announcement,
15:25
Speaker 12: but looking forward to seeing what comes next.
15:30
Speaker 3: I feel terribly sorry for the women who've missed out
15:33
Speaker 3: on a spot in the Olympic finals, perhaps missed out
15:37
Speaker 3: on competing in the Olympics, or in the case of
15:41
Speaker 3: these boxing events, perhaps mixed missed out on a gold
15:44
Speaker 3: medal because the sport has just been pandering to the
15:49
Speaker 3: activist class.
15:51
Speaker 4: Hopefully there's an end to that.
15:53
Speaker 11: Now.
15:53
Speaker 4: Let's talk about.
15:53
Speaker 3: Revelations that Australia's Sex Discrimination Commissioner, doctor Anna Cody has launched.
16:00
Speaker 3: She's has secret plot to try and use the Australian
16:02
Speaker 3: Human Rights Commission's influence to block UN's Special Rapperteur on
16:07
Speaker 3: violence against Women, Al Salam from being reappointed someone who
16:13
Speaker 3: knows what a woman is. She certainly does, and she's
16:17
Speaker 3: also expressed her opinions on the landmark.
16:19
Speaker 4: Giggle versus Tickle case. Steph, what happened here?
16:23
Speaker 3: Why would Atta Cody be seeking to influence disappointment?
16:29
Speaker 12: Well, this all comes back to sal Grover's Tickle Versus
16:32
Speaker 12: Giggle case ream Aslem applied to participate in the hearings.
16:37
Speaker 12: Amachus Curate just like the Sex Discrimination Commissioner did. Obviously,
16:42
Speaker 12: rem understands biology and what a woman is. The Sex
16:45
Speaker 12: Discrimination Commissioner Anna Cody does not. So her comments here
16:49
Speaker 12: seeking to interfere is absolutely appalling and quite frankly, I
16:54
Speaker 12: think it adds further weight to her position being untenable
16:58
Speaker 12: as the Sex Discrimination Commissioner. It's just absolutely appalling. But
17:03
Speaker 12: you can see that these institutions are captured. You've got
17:06
Speaker 12: Anna Cody, who's part of the Sex Discrimination Commissioner that
17:11
Speaker 12: then works with Equality Australia, who also intervened in the
17:15
Speaker 12: Tickle verse Giggle case. They've got Teddy Cook who's moved
17:18
Speaker 12: across from another tax funded institution, and then you've got
17:21
Speaker 12: the Governor General who's a patron of Australia. So we
17:25
Speaker 12: are up against the absolute top of the Australian institutions,
17:30
Speaker 12: all captured by gender ideology, and they're running all of
17:33
Speaker 12: this using taxpayer funds. So I'd actually like to see
17:37
Speaker 12: a clean out of all everyone and a review of
17:40
Speaker 12: the funding that's going into these institutions.
17:44
Speaker 3: Well, I didn't see even how someone like the Governor
17:47
Speaker 3: General Sam Mouston can remain in that position while she
17:50
Speaker 3: is a patron of Equality Australia, which is an activist group,
17:55
Speaker 3: an activist group that's taken a very radical position on this.
18:01
Speaker 3: The Governor General Steph is supposed to be above politics.
18:06
Speaker 12: Look her position as her appointment was an absolute joke.
18:10
Speaker 12: She's a Republican representing the King. I mean, it doesn't
18:13
Speaker 12: get struck that, but it's almost like Albanese is appointed
18:16
Speaker 12: these mouthpieces that are just going to back up the
18:19
Speaker 12: agenda of his party. It's absolutely ridiculous.
18:22
Speaker 4: Of course she shouldn't be there.
18:23
Speaker 12: She should either resign from her position as Governor General
18:28
Speaker 12: or relinquish her patronage of Equality Australia. It is not
18:32
Speaker 12: part of her office to support and platform these activist organizations.
18:37
Speaker 12: But I suspect that is very intentional. These women are
18:40
Speaker 12: using their platform, their government funded platforms, to run their
18:43
Speaker 12: woke agendas, and it's just a disgrace, and it's a
18:46
Speaker 12: total waste of taxpayer funds.
18:50
Speaker 3: And you've got often a labor government appointing these activist
18:53
Speaker 3: women to these roles activist men as well. But I
18:57
Speaker 3: thought this line from reim Arsalam was absolutely brilliant.
19:01
Speaker 4: She said this about Ada Cody.
19:04
Speaker 3: She said, I find miss Cody's judgment of how I
19:07
Speaker 3: do my work rather ironic, given that it is coming
19:10
Speaker 3: from her. At least I'm able to clearly define the
19:14
Speaker 3: subject of my mandate, women and girls and their sex
19:18
Speaker 3: as biologically female. As I've said in my opening remarks
19:22
Speaker 3: of the Human Rights Council session of June twenty twenty four,
19:25
Speaker 3: you cannot protect what you cannot define, and that says
19:30
Speaker 3: it all. That is an absolutely brilliant summary of the situation. Now,
19:35
Speaker 3: before you go, there's an extraordinary case at the moment
19:41
Speaker 3: where we've got Jasmine Sussex, a woman who was a
19:46
Speaker 3: breastfeeding counselor being dragged through this legal process because she
19:53
Speaker 3: maintains that men can't breastfeed. Can you tell me a
19:57
Speaker 3: little bit more about this case and where it's at.
20:02
Speaker 12: So she is currently awaiting her hearing a q CAT
20:05
Speaker 12: the tribunal in Queensland. She's being dragged a court by
20:10
Speaker 12: an activist who attempted to breastfeed his son and couldn't
20:14
Speaker 12: and because Jasmine provided public commentary on that, he is
20:18
Speaker 12: pursuing vilification. So it's once again absolutely ridiculous. Things like
20:24
Speaker 12: chest feeding has been pushed by Ospath and the Royal
20:28
Speaker 12: Women's Hospital in Melbourne. Men cannot breastfeed, they cannot chess feed,
20:33
Speaker 12: and in fact, women who do breastfeed are often told
20:35
Speaker 12: that they need to watch how much alcohol they consume
20:38
Speaker 12: or how much caffeine they consume. Yet our medical industry
20:42
Speaker 12: seems to be quite happy to support men consuming a
20:45
Speaker 12: coptowler drugs to lactate, despite the fact that there is
20:48
Speaker 12: no evidence checking the safety or the nutrition value of
20:53
Speaker 12: what they're putting in their infant's mouth. It's sickening, Rita.
20:59
Speaker 3: I just can't believe we even having this discussion, Stephany.
21:03
Speaker 3: So the men take a cocktail of drugs, which means
21:08
Speaker 3: they can lactate, but what are they actually secreting? What
21:13
Speaker 3: is that a substance that is provides any sort of
21:16
Speaker 3: nutritional benefit to the child. What is the point of
21:19
Speaker 3: breastfeeding or chest feeding if it's not actually providing nourishment
21:25
Speaker 3: to the newborn well.
21:28
Speaker 12: Children are clearly once again becoming second to the will
21:31
Speaker 12: of adults in the scenario. This whole thing is just
21:33
Speaker 12: to appease men's gender identity. There's no safety studies on
21:38
Speaker 12: what they're actually excreting. No one knows. They've got one example,
21:42
Speaker 12: one study where they used a biological woman who identifies
21:46
Speaker 12: as a man to say that men can breastfeed because
21:49
Speaker 12: she's a transman. It's an absolute joke.
21:52
Speaker 3: But we don't know, step Are you telling me Some
21:59
Speaker 3: of the evidence they've used to back this involved at
22:02
Speaker 3: a woman, a biological woman who identifies as a man
22:05
Speaker 3: breastfeeding and so no that means men can breastfeed.
22:08
Speaker 4: I mean, I am lost for worst, Stephanie Bastian, thanks
22:12
Speaker 4: for your time tonight.
22:13
Speaker 3: Pleasure Delta kharmat Lefties Losing it past the latest from
22:18
Speaker 3: the US, including the post shutdown tantrums.
22:22
Speaker 4: Kosher Gator has the latest welcome back. It's time for
22:37
Speaker 4: lefties losing a time to check in.
22:39
Speaker 3: With former first Lady, the perpetually miserable Michelle Obama. Here's
22:44
Speaker 3: she again reflects on her time at the White House.
22:48
Speaker 3: It was so awful having a glam team making you
22:51
Speaker 3: look your absolute best every single day.
22:54
Speaker 13: What an imposition every day every time I was up
22:58
Speaker 13: as we called it, you know, I was up for
23:01
Speaker 13: the public. Yes, And the days were long, so as
23:05
Speaker 13: you mentioned, to save time, you know, I know, having
23:09
Speaker 13: a glam team a trifecta.
23:12
Speaker 4: It feels like.
23:12
Speaker 13: A luxury, but it was a time and time this necessity.
23:17
Speaker 13: There is absolutely no way that I would be able
23:20
Speaker 13: to do my hair and make up and have clothes
23:23
Speaker 13: ready at that fit, you know, because where is the
23:28
Speaker 13: woman that can live off the rack?
23:31
Speaker 4: You know, where is the woman who can live off
23:35
Speaker 4: the rack? Michelle? Are you serious?
23:37
Speaker 3: Try just about every woman? Is Michelle Obama so out
23:42
Speaker 3: of touch? She thinks we're all getting designer gear, custom
23:46
Speaker 3: made clothing, perfectly tailored to our measurements?
23:50
Speaker 4: She is absolutely kidding herself. Now get ready, folks.
23:54
Speaker 3: A new gender identity has just dropped one hundred and fifty.
23:58
Speaker 4: Isn't enough? We need more? Or let's hear what it
24:01
Speaker 4: means to be saphic?
24:03
Speaker 3: Here is non binary actor Robin holdaway and her girlfriend
24:07
Speaker 3: to explain see if you can understand any of this.
24:11
Speaker 5: Saffic, much like any identity term, can mean a lot
24:13
Speaker 5: of different things to different people. Broadly speaking, it means
24:16
Speaker 5: people who are not men but generally femme in some way,
24:20
Speaker 5: who are also attracted to people who are not men
24:22
Speaker 5: and fem in some way. The idea of this, I think,
24:25
Speaker 5: is to be a little bit broader and more encompassing
24:27
Speaker 5: than some people might feel other labels are. Personally, I
24:29
Speaker 5: think there's face in a lot of labels for this,
24:31
Speaker 5: but for example, it's to encomass people who are attracted
24:34
Speaker 5: to non binary people who might present in different ways.
24:37
Speaker 3: Pretty sure we already have terms for all of that,
24:39
Speaker 3: but please do go on and boor are silly with
24:43
Speaker 3: your insufferable self importance.
24:46
Speaker 10: Only The thing is is that this is actually quite
24:47
Speaker 10: an interesting. Part of how sapphic operates as a term
24:50
Speaker 10: is that this is robin. They are a fab, they
24:52
Speaker 10: are female at birth, and they are actually quite mask
24:55
Speaker 10: presenting in a lot of ways, which means that I
24:57
Speaker 10: often have a brief moment of just having a brain
24:59
Speaker 10: block when everyone calls staff because I'm going well and
25:01
Speaker 10: I briefly forget that sort of almost in a way
25:03
Speaker 10: underneath the rest, there's sort of female plumbing, because it's
25:06
Speaker 10: completely irrelevant to how I perceive them.
25:08
Speaker 8: I don't regularly forget that we're in a queer relationship.
25:11
Speaker 10: And this is part of the interesting complexity of stuffic as.
25:13
Speaker 3: A term insufferable insufferable, they.
25:16
Speaker 4: Went on and on and on. Trust me, I.
25:19
Speaker 3: Had to watch it all just so tiresome, self delighted
25:23
Speaker 3: luxury beliefs of people divorce from reality. Now here's an
25:27
Speaker 3: antidote to that craziness. Here is a lady called Kristen
25:31
Speaker 3: Hawkens who has no.
25:32
Speaker 4: Time for such nonsense.
25:35
Speaker 11: Folks who have woms but are not women, like trans
25:40
Speaker 11: people gender bolts.
25:41
Speaker 9: Why do you keep saying women.
25:42
Speaker 14: When affects more than women, because there are two genders.
25:48
Speaker 14: I am I have a friend who has intersese.
25:52
Speaker 8: This is effects more than women.
25:54
Speaker 14: Affects. Praise men. If that's women have woms, I am
25:59
Speaker 14: not a.
25:59
Speaker 15: M You are.
26:08
Speaker 3: Now to Brian Cranston, who's now a psychiatrist, as well
26:11
Speaker 3: as being a daft actor who well sounds a bit
26:14
Speaker 3: like a simpleton every time he speaks without the benefit
26:17
Speaker 3: of a script written by other people smarter than him.
26:21
Speaker 16: I think he is dangerous, and quite frankly, I don't
26:24
Speaker 16: think he's that smart. I really don't. I think he's
26:27
Speaker 16: I think he's very good at a specific thing, and
26:31
Speaker 16: that is branding himself. I think he knows how to
26:33
Speaker 16: sell himself, and that's because of his narcissism, that he
26:38
Speaker 16: cannot allow himself not to be seen as a winner.
26:44
Speaker 4: A narcissist.
26:45
Speaker 3: He sounds like a teenage girl going through his first breakup?
26:48
Speaker 4: Does that, Brian?
26:49
Speaker 3: But this is the guy who is well certainly old
26:52
Speaker 3: enough to know better and old enough to stop embarrassing himself.
26:56
Speaker 4: Because I remember this. You may not, but back in.
26:59
Speaker 3: Two thousand and six, he vowed to flee the United
27:03
Speaker 3: States if Donald Trump became president. The boy you cried
27:07
Speaker 3: Wolf Now. Nicki Glazer is a funny gal. She may
27:11
Speaker 3: have a weird Taylor Swift obsession, little odd for a
27:14
Speaker 3: forty one year old woman, but she's a comic, and
27:17
Speaker 3: the only thing I want my comics to be is funny,
27:21
Speaker 3: and Nicky is funny. Her work on celebrity roasts is superb,
27:25
Speaker 3: but alas she's gone from the highs of starring in
27:29
Speaker 3: Tom Brady's roast to cringe jokes about human trafficking and pedophilia.
27:36
Speaker 3: Check out this hot mess on Saturday Night Live.
27:39
Speaker 4: I mean, it's hard even being an ant for me.
27:41
Speaker 17: I was staying at my sister's house recently and at
27:44
Speaker 17: one point I was like, I'm gonna go take a
27:45
Speaker 17: shower and my nephew comes running in.
27:47
Speaker 4: He's like, I take a shower with you. And I
27:49
Speaker 4: take a shower with you. He's eating.
27:51
Speaker 17: I'm like, going on with his voice, something's wrong. No, No,
27:57
Speaker 17: he was four, and it was very cute, and she
28:00
Speaker 17: was like, you can take a shower with you.
28:01
Speaker 4: It's fine.
28:01
Speaker 17: He does it with us, And I'm like, okay, that's
28:03
Speaker 17: fine for you guys, but are you really okay with
28:06
Speaker 17: like an adult showering with your child? Like maybe it's
28:09
Speaker 17: okay if you like come and supervise. And she was
28:12
Speaker 17: like why And I was like, because what if I'm
28:14
Speaker 17: molest him?
28:20
Speaker 4: And she was like would you? And I was like no,
28:22
Speaker 4: I would.
28:23
Speaker 17: Never this disgusting, But that's why I'd say if I
28:26
Speaker 17: was gonna, you know, like, I don't trust anyone.
28:31
Speaker 4: I don't even trust myself.
28:32
Speaker 17: I don't want to go in there how do you
28:33
Speaker 17: become a pedophile.
28:35
Speaker 4: You don't get to choose what you're into. Dude. What
28:38
Speaker 4: if it's one of those things.
28:39
Speaker 17: You don't know you like till you get in there
28:40
Speaker 17: and you're like, well, this is my thing, and.
28:42
Speaker 4: Then it opens up a part of my brain. No, no, no.
28:46
Speaker 3: Yep, proba wish I could unsay that too, But there
28:49
Speaker 3: were signs with Dickie. I'm not sure if it's teds
28:52
Speaker 3: or just the paranoi that self delight had left his
28:55
Speaker 3: suffer from. But she actually thought she may be bad
28:59
Speaker 3: from coming back to America because she bagged Donald Trump
29:03
Speaker 3: and joked about him during her recent stand up too.
29:06
Speaker 4: I listened to this.
29:07
Speaker 17: I was just in Canada where you can say things
29:10
Speaker 17: on stage about someone and they are onboard.
29:19
Speaker 4: Dude, It's wild.
29:20
Speaker 17: There was a time on stage, I think on Saturday
29:23
Speaker 17: Night that was like, oh my god, if what I've
29:25
Speaker 17: said gets recorded and sent out, like I could maybe
29:27
Speaker 17: not get let back into the country.
29:30
Speaker 8: Now.
29:31
Speaker 3: Do you think there was any pushback on that insane
29:34
Speaker 3: assertion from the Time magazine interviewer. Of course, not Nikki
29:39
Speaker 3: was allowed to explore her paranoid fantasies and make an
29:43
Speaker 3: utter dribbling full of herself.
29:46
Speaker 4: I'm not trying to be.
29:47
Speaker 17: An alarmist, but I definitely don't think that I am
29:52
Speaker 17: immune to having some kind of backlash or that I
29:55
Speaker 17: couldn't be put on some kind of list because of
29:56
Speaker 17: some story I reposted that was. I mean, you look
30:01
Speaker 17: at other places that have dictators, like you're not allowed
30:05
Speaker 17: to say bad things about them past before they became.
30:07
Speaker 4: A dictator or after. So I'm kind of on a
30:11
Speaker 4: list at this point.
30:13
Speaker 3: She's so desperate to be an oppressed victim pathetic.
30:18
Speaker 4: Now get ready to cringe.
30:20
Speaker 3: Here is a silly woman, Stephanie Miller, bowing down and
30:24
Speaker 3: kissing the feet of radical democrat Jasmine Crockett. It's a
30:28
Speaker 3: humiliating display, but she's proud of it.
30:33
Speaker 8: And can you.
30:33
Speaker 12: Confirm that I just kissed your sneakers?
30:37
Speaker 4: This is.
30:41
Speaker 12: She's on camera saying she'll.
30:42
Speaker 4: Do the radio.
30:45
Speaker 14: We're doing it, Future Senator of the Great State of Texas.
30:48
Speaker 4: I have a misstader so much, he's so likable.
30:53
Speaker 3: Let's bring in Skyness contributor Kosher, Gaia Kosher. Let's look
30:57
Speaker 3: beyond that humiliating display and folks on the larger picture,
31:01
Speaker 3: the voting patterns of women in the recent elections. We're
31:05
Speaker 3: talking about Virginia, New Jersey, and New York City.
31:09
Speaker 4: What does it tell us.
31:11
Speaker 11: It's quite stark and quite divided, like direly divided. I
31:16
Speaker 11: was looking up historically and up until just before Bill Clinton,
31:19
Speaker 11: it was pretty fifty to fifty, which was how women
31:21
Speaker 11: voted for Democrats for Republicans in relation to men. And
31:24
Speaker 11: then after that sort of the slight steady decline about
31:27
Speaker 11: ten to fifteen points. Women always vote Democrat. And then
31:30
Speaker 11: if you double click within that non white women eighty
31:33
Speaker 11: percent Democrat, the uneducated women, college educated very heavy sixty
31:38
Speaker 11: percent Democrat, and single women. That's the issue. Jesse Kelly
31:42
Speaker 11: calls this the beating heart. He adds on SSRIs Is
31:47
Speaker 11: of the Democrat Party. Are these women single women? It's
31:50
Speaker 11: sixteen to seventy percent. That's how they're voting. And so
31:53
Speaker 11: if Republicans want to win in the near term, the
31:56
Speaker 11: men have to vote more.
31:57
Speaker 8: Because that's the other thing.
31:58
Speaker 11: Women are a little bit larger part of the electorate,
32:00
Speaker 11: about fifty three percent of women vote. They're more organized,
32:02
Speaker 11: They get themselves to the polls or a mail in
32:05
Speaker 11: their ballots, and the longer term encouraging marriage because married
32:08
Speaker 11: women still in the majority fifty five percent vote for Republicans.
32:12
Speaker 8: The whole prospective changes when you're married.
32:14
Speaker 3: And have children, absolutely, and that's what's so stuck. Because
32:18
Speaker 3: the thing was the most recent presidential election, you were
32:21
Speaker 3: looking at how married men voted, unmarried men, married women
32:25
Speaker 3: that were all majority Republican but by small percentages Republican,
32:31
Speaker 3: and then you had the unmarried women, which were by
32:34
Speaker 3: huge marchin Democrat and that was what really stood out.
32:38
Speaker 3: It's just fascinating to look at those patterns. But let's
32:42
Speaker 3: talk about the BBC. Things are going from bad to
32:46
Speaker 3: worse for the taxpayer funded broadcaster.
32:49
Speaker 4: They aired that deliberately.
32:51
Speaker 3: Doctored footage of Donald Trump, and now he's seeking to
32:54
Speaker 3: hold the BBC responsible for what he is labeled false, defamatory,
32:59
Speaker 3: dispara jink and inflammatory statements. He's given the BBC a
33:04
Speaker 3: Friday deadline kosher to make things right or he's going
33:08
Speaker 3: to launch eight billion dollar lawsuit.
33:11
Speaker 4: And we're talking about a billion US dollars year.
33:14
Speaker 11: This is really something because it is so egregious in
33:16
Speaker 11: terms of what that cut up did and how they
33:19
Speaker 11: were basically stitching together things to suggest that he was
33:22
Speaker 11: actually calling an insurrection. And it's interesting because Trump is
33:26
Speaker 11: not shy to use litigation as one of the tools
33:28
Speaker 11: in his arsenal. He's sued in his personal capacity civil
33:30
Speaker 11: lawsuits various American outlets, and always the suits are above
33:34
Speaker 11: a billion billion, two billion. I think the CBS suit
33:36
Speaker 11: was twenty billion, was a suit even though they settled
33:39
Speaker 11: for sixteen So it's sort of like a tactic for him,
33:42
Speaker 11: do the big ask and then you may settle where
33:43
Speaker 11: you settle all the funding he's going to the beautiful
33:45
Speaker 11: ballroom or his library, which is kind of funny. This
33:48
Speaker 11: would be the first time he would sue a foreign outlet.
33:50
Speaker 11: I don't think that has happened. The libel laws are
33:53
Speaker 11: not as protective of the press in the UK. There's
33:57
Speaker 11: a lower bar and the burden of proof would beyond them,
33:59
Speaker 11: which is and from the US. So there's a high
34:02
Speaker 11: chance and they would fear that, and they do have
34:04
Speaker 11: a precedent of having settled. They've settled it all the
34:06
Speaker 11: way in the nineties at Richard Bronson to some politicians recently,
34:10
Speaker 11: and this is I think, get a gigantic scale beyond that,
34:12
Speaker 11: because they're alleging that the sitting US president stated an insurrection.
34:16
Speaker 8: That's basically what they did. So this is not going
34:18
Speaker 8: to end well for them.
34:19
Speaker 3: No, and they aired this a week before the election,
34:22
Speaker 3: so he can argue that it would could have caused
34:25
Speaker 3: maximum damage. And like you said, the laws are harsher
34:31
Speaker 3: in Britain for the press, and Trump has had a
34:34
Speaker 3: remarkable success with securing significant payouts from multiple media outlets
34:40
Speaker 3: in the US. I didn't know he was putting all
34:42
Speaker 3: the money towards the ballroom and the library.
34:45
Speaker 8: That's good.
34:46
Speaker 11: I think it's also a pr thing that he's not
34:47
Speaker 11: taking it to align his own pockets, but he's trying
34:49
Speaker 11: to divert it to something, you know, for the people.
34:52
Speaker 8: And I think he's tracking it. About one hundred million
34:54
Speaker 8: so far in ps he's received.
34:56
Speaker 4: That's not bad. Now the shutdown is over.
35:00
Speaker 3: The Democrats did fall, but not until after the elections
35:04
Speaker 3: that we spoke about in Virginia, New Jersey and New
35:06
Speaker 3: York City. How do you say this shut down saga?
35:10
Speaker 3: It was the longest in US history.
35:12
Speaker 11: Forty one days. The second longest was in Trump's first term.
35:16
Speaker 11: I'm sure that's what a coincidence. Thirty five days. I
35:18
Speaker 11: say it's two things. One is performative. All of politics
35:21
Speaker 11: is performative. Everybody's playing a part, even this alleged civil
35:25
Speaker 11: war that's going on between the Democrats right now, and
35:27
Speaker 11: they're angry with the a two caved quote unquote. They
35:29
Speaker 11: all know it and they're all deciding what role to play.
35:32
Speaker 8: That's my view.
35:33
Speaker 11: And also it isn't myssed that they very conveniently decided
35:37
Speaker 11: to end it right after the election when Republicans got trounced.
35:40
Speaker 11: I don't think this would have made a big difference,
35:42
Speaker 11: because Republicans really got trounced, and I don't think the
35:45
Speaker 11: outcome would have been any different, but maybe on the
35:47
Speaker 11: margins it played a bit of a role because it
35:49
Speaker 11: makes the party in power look bad. The second thing
35:52
Speaker 11: is it's temporary, so it's only until the thirtieth of January,
35:56
Speaker 11: so in very short order after Christmas, we're going to
35:58
Speaker 11: be back here again, and another shutdown could very well
36:01
Speaker 11: be looming. And that's why this whole discussion about whether
36:04
Speaker 11: or not to abolish the filibuster is, you know, facing
36:07
Speaker 11: growing calls. A lot of people want that. It's very controversial.
36:11
Speaker 11: It could lead to short term gain but long term
36:13
Speaker 11: Pain's one view for the Republicans. The other view is
36:16
Speaker 11: you're in power now, you may not be in power
36:18
Speaker 11: for much longer, so go for maximalist strategy. And I
36:22
Speaker 11: think we're going to see that debate continue to bubble
36:25
Speaker 11: because the shutdown saga is going to be back again
36:27
Speaker 11: on the front pages February first.
36:29
Speaker 4: Well, did they achieve what they wanted to?
36:32
Speaker 3: Did they get a bump going into these elections? Is
36:36
Speaker 3: it something that that will look back on and say, yep,
36:39
Speaker 3: it served a purpose, and you know, we can expect
36:43
Speaker 3: to see it again.
36:44
Speaker 11: I think a little bit on the margins, just that
36:46
Speaker 11: the margins were so high though with how the Democrats
36:49
Speaker 11: defeated the Republicans that they probably would have won that
36:52
Speaker 11: maybe by a little bit of a lesser margin. I
36:54
Speaker 11: don't see the outcome being fundamentally different because it does
36:57
Speaker 11: make the Republicans look bad. And the other problem is
37:00
Speaker 11: the sticking point and this whole shutdown was Obamacare and
37:03
Speaker 11: whether to have those subsidies extend. Should they extend when
37:07
Speaker 11: we know so many illegals are taking advantage of the system,
37:09
Speaker 11: And it's so crazy because that was decades ago when
37:12
Speaker 11: Obamacare was put into place, and now the subsidies are
37:15
Speaker 11: going to expire, and the average person doesn't know all
37:18
Speaker 11: this and won't pin the blame on Obama, who's been
37:20
Speaker 11: out of office for multiple terms. It will get hung
37:23
Speaker 11: around trump'snacks. In that sense, you could say that the
37:26
Speaker 11: Democrats did succeed a little bit, but they've also paid
37:29
Speaker 11: a price.
37:30
Speaker 8: And there's a bit of a civil war and their
37:32
Speaker 8: own party.
37:32
Speaker 3: Now we're going to talk about the division within the
37:36
Speaker 3: conservative ranks in the US, but the Democrats have got
37:40
Speaker 3: divisions as well. And moreover this shutdown, the eight Democrats
37:45
Speaker 3: Senate Caucus defectors who joined the Republicans to reopen the
37:49
Speaker 3: government are facing a almighty backlash, and so is Chuck
37:54
Speaker 3: Schumer kosher for not stopping them. So there are Democrats,
37:59
Speaker 3: some of the more radical ones who seemed to be
38:00
Speaker 3: leading the party these days, saying this was a capitulation.
38:05
Speaker 8: We should have kept going yes.
38:07
Speaker 11: And most of those are from purple moderate states to
38:11
Speaker 11: even red states where there's somehow a Democrat in power.
38:13
Speaker 8: So they're a little bit in terms of their personal
38:15
Speaker 8: political situation more vulnerable.
38:18
Speaker 11: But the Chuctionmer thing is interesting because he wasn't able
38:20
Speaker 11: to whip them all into place. And on a personal level,
38:24
Speaker 11: many people are speculating that at some point, sooner, if
38:27
Speaker 11: not later, AOC is going to challenge him for that
38:29
Speaker 11: Senate seat in New York. And that's very interesting where
38:33
Speaker 11: she is on the rise in some way with where
38:36
Speaker 11: that party is. He's ostensibly of kind of the old
38:38
Speaker 11: guard Nancy Pelosi retired, et cetera. So that's really very interesting,
38:42
Speaker 11: and everybody's watching if he's going to just preemptively announce
38:45
Speaker 11: his retirement like Nancy Pelosi or risk a possible challenge
38:48
Speaker 11: from AOC.
38:49
Speaker 3: And what an incredible job Nancy Pelosi has done to
38:53
Speaker 3: increase her own personal wealth during her time in public office.
38:57
Speaker 3: You look at what her salary was during that peer
39:00
Speaker 3: at how her net wealth or net asset position has increased.
39:04
Speaker 3: It is quite remarkable. So if she can have any
39:08
Speaker 3: stock tips she wants to impart, I will be following
39:10
Speaker 3: them very religiously.
39:12
Speaker 11: She's Warren Buffett trapped in the body of a congresswoman.
39:15
Speaker 8: That's going to sound absolutely.
39:17
Speaker 3: Now before you go, there is these deep divisions forming
39:20
Speaker 3: within conservative ranks. You've got the likes of Tucker Carson
39:24
Speaker 3: Megan Kelly, Matt Walsh on the one side, and then
39:28
Speaker 3: you've got Ben Shapiro, Mark Levin and others on the other.
39:32
Speaker 3: There's all sorts of calls to disavows and people to
39:35
Speaker 3: not platform them, a form of really cancel culture that
39:39
Speaker 3: you thought was something that the left specialized in.
39:44
Speaker 4: How do you see that?
39:45
Speaker 3: And is it just going to hold back the Republicans
39:49
Speaker 3: going into the midterms. If there's all this infighting in
39:53
Speaker 3: the conservative ranks.
39:55
Speaker 8: It's not helpful.
39:56
Speaker 11: And Republicans always refamous for having a circular firing squad
40:00
Speaker 11: to say, and the Democrats say what you will. They're
40:02
Speaker 11: very united generally and they put on a united front.
40:04
Speaker 11: So it's certainly not helpful. But maybe it was unavoidable.
40:08
Speaker 11: And this is the party that likes to debate issues,
40:10
Speaker 11: and that leads to that the root cause of it
40:12
Speaker 11: is the Israel issue, that is, like, of course, a
40:14
Speaker 11: deep topic, but that has been brewing for a long time.
40:17
Speaker 11: There's a sharp divide between those two camps. And then
40:20
Speaker 11: off the back of that, I think censorship and free
40:23
Speaker 11: speech and all of that hangs into that where one
40:25
Speaker 11: side is saying that some views are so bad.
40:28
Speaker 8: We shouldn't be wasting time.
40:28
Speaker 11: We shouldn't be platforming, and we should be canceling people
40:31
Speaker 11: who do that, and the other side says, no, that's
40:33
Speaker 11: against the principle of free speech. So I think that's
40:36
Speaker 11: sort of the one two punch of this issue, and
40:38
Speaker 11: it's going to be very interesting. The side that last
40:41
Speaker 11: day I will say on that is that the side
40:42
Speaker 11: against Israel, or at least not against but kind of
40:45
Speaker 11: neutral and feels like the US is done enough, is
40:48
Speaker 11: ascendant because everybody under the age of thirty is on
40:51
Speaker 11: that side, I would say, the Tucker Matt Walsh side
40:54
Speaker 11: of the camp. And so that is the side growing,
40:56
Speaker 11: and the side favors Israel is literally dying out of
40:59
Speaker 11: the electric the elderly people seventy plus, so it's not
41:02
Speaker 11: going to end.
41:02
Speaker 3: That is in itself a topic we've discussed previously because
41:07
Speaker 3: some of the polling that's come out, and I don't
41:08
Speaker 3: know if that polling will change now that the.
41:11
Speaker 4: War is over, but certainly there were.
41:14
Speaker 3: Dramatic shifts in the public opinion towards Israel across the board,
41:20
Speaker 3: and with younger people the shifts were enormous, from memory
41:25
Speaker 3: forty to fifty points.
41:27
Speaker 8: So in such a short period of time, and yeah,
41:29
Speaker 8: in a few.
41:30
Speaker 3: Years, so that is certainly something I think would be
41:33
Speaker 3: concerning a lot of people. But yeah, we'll keep watching
41:36
Speaker 3: that debate.
41:37
Speaker 4: Koshergata, thank you so much for your time. Tonight still
41:40
Speaker 4: to come.
41:40
Speaker 3: The celebrity is taking a stand against the left cancel culture.
41:45
Speaker 3: Alex Stein has the details.
41:57
Speaker 4: Welcome back.
41:58
Speaker 3: Now, let's have a look at a couple of brave
42:01
Speaker 3: celebrities finally taking a stand against the left's cancel culture.
42:05
Speaker 4: Here we've got two A listers.
42:07
Speaker 3: Taking a stand against those trying to force them to
42:10
Speaker 3: apologize when they've done nothing wrong. First, it's Kira Knightley
42:15
Speaker 3: laughing off accusations about jk Rowling and then explaining to
42:20
Speaker 3: the triggered interviewer that people are entitled to their opinions.
42:24
Speaker 14: I saw your voicing Professor Umbridge and the new Harry
42:27
Speaker 14: Harry Potter audiobooks.
42:28
Speaker 1: I was worrying.
42:28
Speaker 14: Are you aware that some fans are calling for a
42:31
Speaker 14: boycott giving jk Rowans ongoing campaign against trans people?
42:35
Speaker 9: I was not aware of that, to know.
42:38
Speaker 4: I'm very sorry.
42:40
Speaker 9: You know, I think we're all living in a period
42:42
Speaker 9: of time right now, We're all going to have to
42:45
Speaker 9: figure out how to live together, aren't we? And we've
42:47
Speaker 9: all got very different opinions, so I hope that we
42:50
Speaker 9: can all find respect.
42:53
Speaker 3: She's not very sorry at all, that laughs at it all.
42:56
Speaker 3: And here is Sydney Sweeney shutting down an attempt to
42:59
Speaker 3: shame her for that Eagle commercial.
43:02
Speaker 15: The criticism of the content, which was basically that maybe
43:06
Speaker 15: specifically in this political climate, like wait, people shouldn't joke
43:11
Speaker 15: about genetic superiority like that was kind of like the
43:15
Speaker 15: criticism broadly speaking, And since you were talking about this,
43:18
Speaker 15: I just wanted to give you an opportunity to talk
43:20
Speaker 15: about that specifically.
43:21
Speaker 4: I think that when.
43:22
Speaker 11: I have an issue, though, I want to speak about people.
43:28
Speaker 3: Here joining me now is comedian Alex Stein. Alex Sidney
43:33
Speaker 3: Sweety handle that beautifully. Hopefully it starts a trend with
43:37
Speaker 3: Hollywood stars we get spooked by leftist media and activists
43:42
Speaker 3: to apologize when they've done nothing wrong. She just had
43:45
Speaker 3: a look of disdain on her face and moved the
43:48
Speaker 3: interview along.
43:50
Speaker 1: No, I mean, Sidney Sweeney handled it perfectly. And you
43:53
Speaker 1: know there was something just kind of like almost hypnotizing
43:55
Speaker 1: about the interview, just the way that the interviewer was
43:59
Speaker 1: trying to go Sydney into this question, and how the
44:02
Speaker 1: interviewer was almost kind of nervous to ask it, as
44:05
Speaker 1: if it was going to be like this gotcha moment.
44:08
Speaker 1: And I just think Sydney was just being herself. And
44:11
Speaker 1: you know, there's other aspects of this interview where Sidney
44:14
Speaker 1: Sweeny to me, knows that she's hot. She knows that
44:16
Speaker 1: she's cool, and that's what a real cool person acts like.
44:19
Speaker 1: They don't act like they're super cool. And I think
44:21
Speaker 1: that's why she's so likable. And you know, they try
44:24
Speaker 1: to get her, they kind of try to make her political,
44:26
Speaker 1: and she handled it really well. I got to give
44:28
Speaker 1: her her flowers to do for sure.
44:33
Speaker 3: Absolutely, she just seems uninterested in the politics of it.
44:38
Speaker 3: I mean, I genuinely don't know what her politics, where
44:42
Speaker 3: her politics is.
44:43
Speaker 4: I don't really care. She's an actress.
44:45
Speaker 3: I don't care how she votes or what she thinks
44:48
Speaker 3: of particular issues, and let's keep it that way. She's
44:51
Speaker 3: obviously triggered the left, but really for no reason at all.
44:55
Speaker 3: It was a Jen's commercial for the love of God.
44:58
Speaker 3: Now another Hollywood A list, Jennifer Lawrence, has said this
45:02
Speaker 3: to The New York Times, Lulu Garcia Navarro.
45:06
Speaker 15: In the first Trump administration, you know, you had a
45:09
Speaker 15: lot to say.
45:13
Speaker 4: I'm curious how you feel about talking out now. I
45:19
Speaker 4: don't really know if I should.
45:21
Speaker 18: I think, like the first Trump administration was so wild
45:28
Speaker 18: and just how can we let this stand? Like I
45:31
Speaker 18: felt like I was running around like a chicken with
45:35
Speaker 18: my head cut off. But as we've learned, election after elections,
45:42
Speaker 18: celebrities do not make a difference whatsoever and who people
45:46
Speaker 18: vote for.
45:48
Speaker 3: Alex She went on to say that she doesn't want
45:50
Speaker 3: to alienate people from her work as an artist.
45:54
Speaker 4: It looks like she's just, I don't know, reading the room.
45:59
Speaker 3: She's realizing that the market for this sort of hectoring
46:04
Speaker 3: and lecturing isn't really there.
46:06
Speaker 4: Just a noise people.
46:09
Speaker 1: No, you're exactly right, and you know you're talking about
46:11
Speaker 1: this topic earlier. But you know, the Israel Palestine argument
46:13
Speaker 1: in Hollywood is a very touchy situation. So you know
46:16
Speaker 1: a lot of actors are now getting banned for being
46:18
Speaker 1: pro Palestine. So really it does not benefit an actor
46:21
Speaker 1: or actress to really even get political whatsoever. But you know,
46:25
Speaker 1: I have to give Jennifer Lawrence her credit, because even
46:28
Speaker 1: though these actors are great at impersonating other people and
46:31
Speaker 1: playing characters, a lot of times they're not very self aware.
46:34
Speaker 1: They're not very humble, And it seems like she's gotten
46:36
Speaker 1: the point that it doesn't really change the temperature of
46:40
Speaker 1: the room or help her narrative by trying to be
46:42
Speaker 1: political or get her political point across. So I kind
46:46
Speaker 1: of like that she's just going to try to keep
46:47
Speaker 1: it about the art, and that's really what it should
46:49
Speaker 1: be at the end of the day. Or if you
46:50
Speaker 1: have a political viewpoint, maybe express it through that art.
46:54
Speaker 1: And you don't have to be like an open book,
46:57
Speaker 1: you don't have to be a biography. You kind of
46:59
Speaker 1: just let the art for itself. And I think that's
47:01
Speaker 1: what we expect from from these artists and actresses and actors.
47:05
Speaker 3: Absolutely, I don't know how my plumb up votes. I
47:09
Speaker 3: don't know how the local baker votes. I don't care
47:12
Speaker 3: this absolute desire to air your politics just because you
47:17
Speaker 3: happen to be an actor and have to have a profile. Yeah,
47:21
Speaker 3: I think they're working it out, but they're slow learners.
47:24
Speaker 4: Now played a clip of.
47:26
Speaker 3: Nicki Glazier earlier her Saturday Night live work was not
47:31
Speaker 3: her best.
47:31
Speaker 4: I think she is actually genuinely funny.
47:33
Speaker 3: But this monologue has copped all sorts of criticism.
47:38
Speaker 4: How do you see it, Alex, People being too harsh.
47:42
Speaker 4: It's a hard gig to.
47:43
Speaker 3: Stand there for seven eight minutes and deliver a monologue.
47:49
Speaker 1: No, and on top of that, Nikki Glazier is very funny,
47:51
Speaker 1: and she is attractive, and you know her political viewpoints
47:54
Speaker 1: are different than mine. But I thought that Jeffrey Evsteen
47:57
Speaker 1: you know Island Manhattan joke actually kind of funny. I mean,
48:01
Speaker 1: I know that it didn't really you know, I guess
48:03
Speaker 1: it wasn't received very well, But Rita, I go to
48:06
Speaker 1: a lot of these protests, and I'm telling you, both
48:08
Speaker 1: sides want more information when it comes to Jeffrey Epstein.
48:11
Speaker 1: So I don't think that topic is really off limits.
48:13
Speaker 1: And you know, as a comedian you have to take chances.
48:17
Speaker 1: So even though you know ideologically I'm not probably aligned
48:21
Speaker 1: with Nikky one hundred percent by any means, I got
48:24
Speaker 1: to give her credit for going up there and actually
48:26
Speaker 1: taking a chance, especially on NBC, because that is, you know,
48:29
Speaker 1: a network television channel that you know they are very
48:33
Speaker 1: buttoned up. So I actually do like and respect her
48:35
Speaker 1: for pushing the boundaries a little bit, so I can't
48:38
Speaker 1: really critique her too much.
48:41
Speaker 3: And it was interesting during the credits for all the
48:44
Speaker 3: cast and the guest host or mingle and you know,
48:48
Speaker 3: clown around whilst the credits roll, no one really went
48:51
Speaker 3: up to her.
48:51
Speaker 4: I think there was one person talking to her.
48:54
Speaker 3: So I wonder if there was some I don't know,
48:56
Speaker 3: some conflict behind the scenes.
48:58
Speaker 4: Now, before you go, don't.
49:00
Speaker 3: Trump was booed by Washington command of fans, but no
49:04
Speaker 3: surprise to anybody.
49:05
Speaker 4: But it did not stop him from entering the commentary
49:09
Speaker 4: box and calling the game.
49:11
Speaker 2: Your first three quarterback has the potential, I think to
49:14
Speaker 2: be a great quarterback.
49:16
Speaker 18: He's got to stop the injuries somehow.
49:18
Speaker 16: And let's see, we have a very important, I think
49:21
Speaker 16: is a very important couple of plays.
49:23
Speaker 15: Here we go, so I did seven second and seven
49:26
Speaker 15: let's see what happens.
49:28
Speaker 3: Well, he's calling play by play there almost alex as
49:32
Speaker 3: Greg Godfeldt says, we don't deserve him.
49:36
Speaker 4: No, sometimes we don't.
49:37
Speaker 1: He's one of the most entertaining guys in the world.
49:39
Speaker 1: And you know, there's a little known conspiracy and this
49:41
Speaker 1: is real. You know, a lot of people think that
49:43
Speaker 1: Donald Trump ran for president just because of his rivalry
49:46
Speaker 1: with Obama. But actually, you know, he tried to buy
49:48
Speaker 1: the Buffalo bills and a lot of these powerful billionaire
49:50
Speaker 1: NFL owners try to block them out of it. And
49:52
Speaker 1: that was actually, I think he's talked about it one
49:54
Speaker 1: of the you know, reasons why he definitely wanted to
49:56
Speaker 1: kind of stick it to the NFL to say, listen,
49:59
Speaker 1: forget about honing us about team I'll own the country.
50:01
Speaker 1: So a lot of people don't know that that's a
50:03
Speaker 1: little known conspiracy.
50:07
Speaker 4: Thank you for that tidbit, Alex Stein. And that's it
50:11
Speaker 4: for me. Up next, it's Newsnight.
50:13
Speaker 3: I'll see you tomorrow Night with Douglas Murray.
