- 0:08Speaker 3: Good evening and welcome to the REATA Panehy Show.
- 0:11Speaker 4: Coming up tonight, Labor step up their scare campaign against
- 0:14Speaker 4: Peter Dutton. Gary Hardgrave will be here to discuss the
- 0:18Speaker 4: day's top headlines. Premier Disenter Alan defends a major Kuala
- 0:22Speaker 4: cull in Victoria. Liberal m P Barth MacArthur will join
- 0:26Speaker 4: you shortly on.
- 0:27Speaker 3: That and much more.
- 0:28Speaker 4: Josh Hammer will have the latest from the US, and
- 0:31Speaker 4: later in the hour, DD Levy will have more of
- 0:35Speaker 4: the Australian twins that have become an international sensation and
- 0:40Speaker 4: Lifti's Losing It Again features Rosie o'donald.
- 0:44Speaker 5: I knew after reading Project twenty twenty five that if
- 0:48Speaker 5: Trump got in it was time for me and my
- 0:51Speaker 5: non binary child to leave the country.
- 0:54Speaker 4: But first to worrying data today showing that less than
- 0:58Speaker 4: one in four Australians phil a strong connection to ANZAC day.
- 1:03Speaker 4: Even more worrying is the fact that only one in
- 1:05Speaker 4: six members of Generations Z would sign up to defend.
- 1:10Speaker 3: Australia if we were attacked.
- 1:12Speaker 4: The News Court polling also revealed among all age groups,
- 1:16Speaker 4: fifty seven percent say Australia should be spending more on defense,
- 1:20Speaker 4: on the military, but only one in three would be
- 1:23Speaker 4: willing to take part in the defense of the country.
- 1:26Speaker 4: Joining me now for more on this the Sky Newe
- 1:28Speaker 4: contributor Gary Hartgrave Gary, is it any wonder that only
- 1:33Speaker 4: one in six young Australians gen z would fight to
- 1:37Speaker 4: defend this country when they've been fed this toxic diet
- 1:41Speaker 4: of lies painting Australia as races, as illegitimate, as a
- 1:47Speaker 4: country that's built on genocide and stolen land.
- 1:51Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly right, Rita. And we've just got to get
- 1:53Speaker 1: that pride back in the business of Australia because frankly,
- 1:57Speaker 1: if we aren't prepared to defend it, we have to
- 1:59Speaker 1: be prepared to lose it. I mean, the price of
- 2:02Speaker 1: freedom is eternal vigilance. It's not just one liners that
- 2:05Speaker 1: are thrown around this time of year every year. ANZAC
- 2:10Speaker 1: Day does stand for a generation of people. Are generations
- 2:13Speaker 1: of people who've been prepared to stand in Australia's name
- 2:16Speaker 1: to defend a principle where we under thread on every
- 2:19Speaker 1: war that we've gone through, well, not directly Second World War, maybe, yes,
- 2:24Speaker 1: maybe the threat that was occurring in the sixties was
- 2:27Speaker 1: real as well. But in all seriousness, this was about
- 2:30Speaker 1: the ideals, the principles of our country. And if we're
- 2:33Speaker 1: not actually encouraging kids to embrace that, the freedom we've got,
- 2:37Speaker 1: we're well on our way. We're well on our way
- 2:40Speaker 1: to lose it. So this is frightening stuff, but it
- 2:42Speaker 1: is reaping what we have allowed to be sowed. Not
- 2:45Speaker 1: what I've sown, not what you've said, but what they've
- 2:47Speaker 1: allowed to So and so read it. My line is
- 2:50Speaker 1: still the same. We can save Australia one family out
- 2:53Speaker 1: of time. I'll look after mine, you look after yours.
- 2:56Speaker 1: Let's build a community, Let's build a strength back into Australia.
- 3:02Speaker 3: Well said.
- 3:03Speaker 4: Let's turn our attention now to the Prime Minister's preferencing scandal.
- 3:07Speaker 4: Is often to put the Greens candidate Hannah Thomas as
- 3:11Speaker 4: number two on is how to vote card. This is
- 3:13Speaker 4: a character this Hannah Thomas, that has previously claimed that
- 3:17Speaker 4: Israel is guilty of genocide, has demanded the Prime Minister
- 3:21Speaker 4: blacklist the only Jewish state and expel its ambassador from Australia.
- 3:26Speaker 4: She held up signs like this, let's have a look
- 3:28Speaker 4: at pro Palestinian rallies. But if you ask the PM Gary,
- 3:33Speaker 4: he seems to think that preferences don't really matter.
- 3:37Speaker 3: This is what he had to say last year.
- 3:39Speaker 6: I don't accept preferences, but we'll go into polling booths
- 3:42Speaker 6: and put numbers next to names, so the preference allocation,
- 3:50Speaker 6: of course, will be done by the organizational.
- 3:53Speaker 3: Win Gary.
- 3:54Speaker 4: If preferences are unimportant, then why not run an open
- 3:58Speaker 4: ticket in every seat, particularly his seat?
- 4:02Speaker 1: You know what, reader, I think the simplest thing is
- 4:04Speaker 1: to go to first past the post voting like they
- 4:06Speaker 1: do in the UK, like they do in the US,
- 4:08Speaker 1: so we don't even have to worry about all this
- 4:10Speaker 1: preference rubbish. But look, the Prime Minister is technically correct.
- 4:13Speaker 1: People can make their own choices. The party organizations, you know,
- 4:17Speaker 1: they offer, they offer recommendations. But look, in the end,
- 4:21Speaker 1: it's standard principle. I mean, you want to talk about principles.
- 4:24Speaker 1: You've got a Prime Minister that stands for nothing, nothing
- 4:28Speaker 1: at all. He is actually sitting idly by while people
- 4:33Speaker 1: are pulling Australia apart. People within our midst some of
- 4:36Speaker 1: them who are egged on by international activists, who are
- 4:39Speaker 1: actually right now in Australia and whipping up crowds and
- 4:43Speaker 1: organizing people. I mean, this sort of stuff is just elementary.
- 4:48Speaker 1: We are fragile as a community because this blow is
- 4:52Speaker 1: so fragile in his attendance to the proper principles that
- 4:55Speaker 1: have always kept Australia safe. The guy's an idiot and
- 5:00Speaker 1: I hate saying that because he's the Prime Minister. I
- 5:02Speaker 1: should respect him. But no, he's lying and lying and
- 5:06Speaker 1: lying constantly. And it's like Labor lies we pay. Is
- 5:10Speaker 1: kind of really what their slogan should have been this
- 5:12Speaker 1: particular election.
- 5:16Speaker 4: Well he is inept, but it looks like he's going
- 5:20Speaker 4: to be winning two elections at least for Labor. And
- 5:24Speaker 4: you really have to look at the Liberals campaign and
- 5:27Speaker 4: wonder what they're thinking here. We're talking about a first
- 5:31Speaker 4: term government and they have just seem to have run
- 5:34Speaker 4: a softly, softly approach to this campaign. If you want
- 5:37Speaker 4: Australians to throw out a first term government, you need
- 5:41Speaker 4: to go hard, you need to go negative. You need
- 5:44Speaker 4: to make it absolutely clear Gary what is going wrong
- 5:47Speaker 4: in this country and how you're going to fix it.
- 5:50Speaker 4: And I just don't think we're getting that yet from
- 5:53Speaker 4: the Dutton opposition and the polls have open for early voting.
- 5:57Speaker 3: Time is running out.
- 6:00Speaker 1: It is, it's running out. Sands are going through the
- 6:02Speaker 1: hour glass. Look, RITA simple point is that not all
- 6:04Speaker 1: the votes are in, so therefore the results not certain.
- 6:07Speaker 1: But the indicators are not good. But most of the
- 6:09Speaker 1: people doing the complaining of those who actually want to
- 6:11Speaker 1: vote for Peter Dutton, but they want him to mount
- 6:13Speaker 1: a case. They want him to be strong. They actually
- 6:16Speaker 1: want him to provide something that's not just like that
- 6:18Speaker 1: bloke but blue. They actually want him to promote something
- 6:22Speaker 1: that's rigorous, that's in Australia's favor. Peter is starting to
- 6:25Speaker 1: do that. But you're right, time is running out and
- 6:27Speaker 1: time shall tell now.
- 6:31Speaker 4: Polling analysis in the Australian newspaper Today shows that the
- 6:35Speaker 4: Coalition has lost significant ground in a key voter group
- 6:39Speaker 4: since the start of the year. Among female voters, the
- 6:42Speaker 4: Coalition was sitting at fifty one forty nine percent over
- 6:46Speaker 4: Labor in January they were so much for having a
- 6:50Speaker 4: women's problem.
- 6:51Speaker 3: They were in the lead, but now they're trailing.
- 6:53Speaker 4: Labor in that key demographic forty six to fifty four percent.
- 6:57Speaker 4: Gary is this largely due to their failure to really
- 7:02Speaker 4: explain their work from home scheme and how that was
- 7:06Speaker 4: going to be impacting the public service, and what other
- 7:10Speaker 4: issues do you see contributing to this turnaround?
- 7:14Speaker 1: You know, I just think this whole kind of tim
- 7:17Speaker 1: walls go soft, kind of don't be a blokey bloke,
- 7:21Speaker 1: get rid of toxic masculinity stuff. That kind of stuff
- 7:24Speaker 1: that we saw in America six months ago, I think
- 7:27Speaker 1: is happening here. I think it's like, oh, you know,
- 7:30Speaker 1: we know what to upset women. Hang on, it's not
- 7:32Speaker 1: about upsetting women. This is about providing some strength that
- 7:35Speaker 1: women will gravitate towards. You've got a prime minister that
- 7:38Speaker 1: walks around with a poodle in the middle of a
- 7:41Speaker 1: park and thinks that is campaigning on Good Friday. We
- 7:45Speaker 1: need to have some guts. People actually want to see guts.
- 7:48Speaker 1: And I think that you don't have to be belligerent,
- 7:51Speaker 1: you don't have to be brutal, you don't have to
- 7:54Speaker 1: be toxic, but you've got to be strong. And I
- 7:56Speaker 1: think a lot of women call this out faster than
- 8:00Speaker 1: I think. We're in a less forgiving about blokes they
- 8:02Speaker 1: don't think are real, And I think that's the problem.
- 8:05Speaker 1: Peter has got to show the real Peter Dutton and
- 8:09Speaker 1: sadly the campaign people running this campaign haven't allowed him
- 8:13Speaker 1: to do that from what I can see.
- 8:15Speaker 3: No, they haven't allowed him to do that.
- 8:18Speaker 4: And what matters most, I think regardless if you're male, female, left, right,
- 8:24Speaker 4: wherever you are a swing voter, you want to see authenticity,
- 8:28Speaker 4: you want to see the real person. And I think
- 8:31Speaker 4: that's what's been lacking at this election campaign. I think
- 8:35Speaker 4: people have really got to know Peter Dutton. They've got
- 8:37Speaker 4: this character. Sure, the Labor and the Greens have pushed
- 8:41Speaker 4: and that seems to be the dominant point of view
- 8:45Speaker 4: of the man. Now let's have a look at how
- 8:48Speaker 4: that has been created. We're going to look at some
- 8:51Speaker 4: election campaign material that's on social media. We're going to
- 8:56Speaker 4: start with Monique Ryan's. Obviously this is uncomfortable taking question
- 9:00Speaker 4: is from journalists like our own Laura Jays's, but she's
- 9:04Speaker 4: more than happy to participate in whatever this is.
- 9:13Speaker 7: Of course, I am trump strump, I am invincible, invincible,
- 9:20Speaker 7: I am I can thank you.
- 9:26Speaker 4: Authorized by a Misra Moulviyn that's from the Youthful Modern group.
- 9:31Speaker 4: And let's see what the Greens have been up to.
- 9:33Speaker 4: Here's they're candidate for Cooper. Tara Burnette, a transgender woman
- 9:39Speaker 4: and a public school teacher.
- 9:41Speaker 8: Got to say the highlight was a fella showing up
- 9:44Speaker 8: in a T shirt depicting the performer who brought out
- 9:48Speaker 8: the Palestinian and suitan Eese flags during Kendrick Lema's Super
- 9:52Speaker 8: Bowl performance taking a green flying.
- 9:56Speaker 4: What can you say about that? And let's have a
- 9:58Speaker 4: look at this ad from La. But the scare mongering
- 10:02Speaker 4: is reaching new highs.
- 10:15Speaker 9: With the rise by Stays, a String Labor Party.
- 10:16Speaker 3: Doglins Gary.
- 10:18Speaker 4: This characterization of Peter Dutton as some scary ogre who
- 10:24Speaker 4: is just wanting to slash medicare and put women back
- 10:28Speaker 4: in the.
- 10:29Speaker 10: Kitchen, it is so obtuse, but it seems to.
- 10:33Speaker 1: Be working in the absence of a counter argument. The
- 10:36Speaker 1: counter argument's got to be are you better off than
- 10:38Speaker 1: you're worth three years ago? If you're not, you can't
- 10:41Speaker 1: vote for elbow. Look, people are seeing a frustration amongst
- 10:47Speaker 1: those are must normally liberal voters. They want to They
- 10:49Speaker 1: want a king hit and knockout punts now, But we've
- 10:52Speaker 1: still got a few rounds to go. Look, there there's
- 10:55Speaker 1: no other way of putting this. The campaign that they
- 10:58Speaker 1: have run has been the luster that people wanted. All
- 11:02Speaker 1: they wanted was someone to say, you know what, we're
- 11:03Speaker 1: gone this way, and they would have actually followed them.
- 11:06Speaker 1: They just would have followed them. And we just haven't
- 11:09Speaker 1: had the strength and the simplicity in that messaging. But
- 11:13Speaker 1: the reality is, it's labor tax you pay, is really
- 11:16Speaker 1: the counterpoint. They are going to increase taxes. They are
- 11:20Speaker 1: going to make it harder for people to survive the
- 11:22Speaker 1: cost of living increases that are coming, including electricity prices
- 11:26Speaker 1: going up again, all off the back of keeping billionaires
- 11:29Speaker 1: really happy. There are so many great messages. You know,
- 11:32Speaker 1: if I was back on the trenches, I'd be doing it.
- 11:34Speaker 1: But all I can say is that I would have
- 11:36Speaker 1: expected stronger, clearer, straightforward messages, a call to arms, you know,
- 11:41Speaker 1: a call to action, and I've yet to see it.
- 11:46Speaker 11: No.
- 11:47Speaker 4: And even on the one policy area where there seems
- 11:50Speaker 4: to be a bit of differentiation between the two parties,
- 11:53Speaker 4: though the coalition's plan is more of a long term one,
- 11:58Speaker 4: we're not.
- 11:58Speaker 3: Hearing much about than nuclear plan.
- 12:01Speaker 4: In fact, you rarely hear them push that policy and
- 12:04Speaker 4: say this is a solution long term for the country.
- 12:08Speaker 4: You don't hear them make those arguments about how renewables
- 12:12Speaker 4: have pushed up prices and made some very rich people
- 12:15Speaker 4: even richer. Where are those arguments, because that actually would
- 12:19Speaker 4: speak to the electorate. Energy prices are a top issue
- 12:23Speaker 4: and it impacts everybody.
- 12:25Speaker 1: Well, I think we're going to get two hundred and
- 12:26Speaker 1: seventy five dollars off our power bill, and I don't
- 12:28Speaker 1: know about you, and I get a power bill every quarter,
- 12:30Speaker 1: so I was counting on getting something akin to eleven
- 12:33Speaker 1: or twelve hundred dollars off my power over the course
- 12:35Speaker 1: of the year, it's gone up that. So we have
- 12:37Speaker 1: been lied to lied to. Nuclear is part of the
- 12:41Speaker 1: mix in nineteen out of the twenty developed countries in
- 12:44Speaker 1: the world, guess what, we're number twenty without nuclear. There's
- 12:47Speaker 1: a lot of reasons why nuclear should be considered. The
- 12:50Speaker 1: six hundred billion dollar cost is just a made up figure,
- 12:53Speaker 1: and labor knows that they're all starting to away from that.
- 12:56Speaker 1: But you know, in the end, it's hard to promote
- 13:01Speaker 1: revolutionary policies from opposition. I get it. But they brought
- 13:05Speaker 1: the argument up, and they could have had the conversation established.
- 13:08Speaker 1: The problem come up If you've got the solution, you've
- 13:10Speaker 1: got to establish the problem first. People don't like Albert.
- 13:13Speaker 1: People are resenting the fact that they may vote for
- 13:16Speaker 1: him ahead of Peter Dutton, and they'll be angrier at
- 13:19Speaker 1: the Liberal Party than they will be at the Labor Party.
- 13:22Speaker 1: You want to talk about lefties losing it, reader, right now,
- 13:25Speaker 1: the lefties and the Liberal Party are losing it right now,
- 13:28Speaker 1: and that I think is your segment for next week.
- 13:30Speaker 1: Lefties losing it is the liberal lefties losing it.
- 13:36Speaker 4: They are, They're causing so much damage. There's not many
- 13:39Speaker 4: of them left, but that small group continuing to frustrate
- 13:43Speaker 4: efforts to actually appeal to those vital outer suburb outer
- 13:48Speaker 4: suburbs and regional areas. Gary Hardgrave, thank you so much
- 13:51Speaker 4: for your time tonight. Thanks y joining me now as
- 13:55Speaker 4: Victorian Liberal MP BEV MacArthur BEV Premier Center. Alan has
- 14:00Speaker 4: pledged to crack down on crime. Victoria is now trialing
- 14:05Speaker 4: ankle bracelets monitoring teen offenders age between fourteen and eighteen.
- 14:10Speaker 4: But this only applies right now to about fifty offenders.
- 14:15Speaker 4: Is this going to have much of an impact on
- 14:17Speaker 4: the crime rate?
- 14:17Speaker 12: BEV?
- 14:19Speaker 13: Well, who knows what's going to happen in Victoria. Rita,
- 14:23Speaker 13: We've got a situation where we understand there are fifty
- 14:26Speaker 13: seven alternative services being rolled out for the ankle braceleted offenders,
- 14:34Speaker 13: but the Minister didn't even know about it. He read
- 14:37Speaker 13: about it in the Herald Sunny admitted this. The department
- 14:40Speaker 13: were briefing principles before the Ministry even knew about it.
- 14:45Speaker 13: So who knows whether it's going to be successful. What's happening,
- 14:50Speaker 13: You know, whether anybody's been trained to deliver these services,
- 14:54Speaker 13: and of course where they are we need to know
- 14:57Speaker 13: the list of these fifty seven or ten venues.
- 15:04Speaker 4: Are the measures of the Victorian Labor Party taken to
- 15:08Speaker 4: address the crime crisis, particularly the youth crime crisis?
- 15:11Speaker 3: Are they adequate to really have an impact?
- 15:15Speaker 4: Because you talk to people across Victoria and the crime
- 15:19Speaker 4: rate seems to be a top issue. Even in a
- 15:23Speaker 4: cost of living crisis that we're facing, crime seems to
- 15:27Speaker 4: be top of mind for so many Victorians.
- 15:30Speaker 13: Well, it absolutely is, Rita, and I just had the
- 15:35Speaker 13: rather terrible situation of having a wife and mother in
- 15:40Speaker 13: my office only a few minutes ago whose husband was
- 15:44Speaker 13: stabbed to death by a young offender and he will
- 15:50Speaker 13: be out maybe in under four years, and she wonders
- 15:55Speaker 13: is the justice system for perpetrators or is it for victims?
- 16:02Speaker 13: The crime is a major issue, and there's certainly an
- 16:06Speaker 13: issue in my electric especially in the dural area.
- 16:11Speaker 4: And people are losing faith in the justice system. You're
- 16:14Speaker 4: seeing these manifestly inadequate sentences, You're seeing people getting bailed
- 16:19Speaker 4: time and time again. It is definitely, I think an
- 16:23Speaker 4: issue that we need to talk about a lot more.
- 16:27Speaker 3: But moving on, the premiere is under.
- 16:29Speaker 4: Fire for defending a mass koala carl that's happening in
- 16:33Speaker 4: a national park in the States west of the moments
- 16:36Speaker 4: estimated that up to seven hundred and fifty koalas have
- 16:39Speaker 4: been shot dead by helicopter snipers after a bushfire went
- 16:44Speaker 4: through the area last month. Bab is this cul necessary?
- 16:49Speaker 4: Isn't the humane thing to do? If these animals are injured,
- 16:53Speaker 4: It's certainly something that is distressing many Victorians and Australians.
- 17:00Speaker 13: Absolutely reta and it seems to be the first go
- 17:03Speaker 13: to plan to affect death of our native animals or
- 17:10Speaker 13: even animals. Is helicopters shooting shooting from helicopters. They've done
- 17:15Speaker 13: it with the wild horses in the high country, and
- 17:19Speaker 13: now they've done it with koalas. There's no guarantee that
- 17:23Speaker 13: you've actually killed the animal, no guarantee that they are
- 17:27Speaker 13: not young left in partues. The government's argument is that
- 17:33Speaker 13: this is very rough to rain and you couldn't do
- 17:35Speaker 13: it on foot. Well, I might just pay a visit
- 17:39Speaker 13: to budge Bem and just check exactly what has happened
- 17:43Speaker 13: down there. But of course we don't want koalas or
- 17:47Speaker 13: any animals suffering. Absolutely, and you know, if they need
- 17:52Speaker 13: to be told, then it needs to be done in
- 17:55Speaker 13: the most humane way. I would seriously question whether shooting
- 17:59Speaker 13: animals from a helicopter is the best way to bring
- 18:03Speaker 13: about this action.
- 18:06Speaker 4: And if these animals have survived the bushfire, which was
- 18:10Speaker 4: what a month ago, maybe we should leave them alone
- 18:14Speaker 4: to let nature take its course.
- 18:16Speaker 10: I mean, if the bushfire was a couple of days ago.
- 18:20Speaker 4: Then I could kind of understand putting these animals out
- 18:23Speaker 4: of their misery. But they've survived this long, and I
- 18:26Speaker 4: don't know how from a helicopter you are determining which
- 18:30Speaker 4: ones are so injured that they need to be shot
- 18:34Speaker 4: dead and which ones are quite okay. I just find
- 18:38Speaker 4: the whole thing bizarre and distressing. Before you go the
- 18:44Speaker 4: case involving the cyclist, the young teen at the time,
- 18:49Speaker 4: Ryan Muhlman, who was injured in a twenty thirteen collision
- 18:53Speaker 4: with Daniel Andrews SUV.
- 18:56Speaker 3: That case is settled out of court.
- 18:59Speaker 4: The former and the Victorian Police Force have avoided what
- 19:03Speaker 4: was likely been a damaging case in the Supreme Court
- 19:07Speaker 4: where everyone was giving evidence. That the legal firm there
- 19:11Speaker 4: has settled their case. It's rumored to have cost them
- 19:14Speaker 4: hundreds of thousands of dollars. But we have no clarity
- 19:19Speaker 4: bev on precisely what happened. We know the Shuey Review,
- 19:22Speaker 4: conducted by former Assistant Commissioner for Traffic and Operations, doctor
- 19:27Speaker 4: Raymond Shuey.
- 19:28Speaker 3: He found that the andrews.
- 19:30Speaker 4: Ford Territory was traveling at speed on the wrong side
- 19:33Speaker 4: of a road and that Victoria Police had engaged in
- 19:36Speaker 4: and I quote an overt cover up to avoid implicating
- 19:41Speaker 4: a political figure in a life threatening crash. Surely this
- 19:46Speaker 4: cannot be the end of this matter. Don't we need
- 19:49Speaker 4: to know why the police behaved like this? Don't we
- 19:53Speaker 4: need to have some sort of transparency and clarity around
- 19:56Speaker 4: this issue.
- 19:58Speaker 13: Well, absolutely, I think we do, and I you have
- 20:00Speaker 13: to feel terribly for you know, the victim who at
- 20:05Speaker 13: fifteen this happened to you and was constantly referred to as
- 20:09Speaker 13: a liar, and you know clearly has proven not to
- 20:13Speaker 13: be a liar. We do need to know exactly what happened,
- 20:19Speaker 13: and you know, I don't understand why de Andrews family
- 20:23Speaker 13: wouldn't come forward with the truth, to be quite honest.
- 20:29Speaker 4: And I want to know what role the police played
- 20:32Speaker 4: and why they played that role. There are so many inconsistencies,
- 20:36Speaker 4: so many breaches of normal police practice in this case,
- 20:41Speaker 4: and I think that's really what's undermined the public's faith
- 20:45Speaker 4: in what's what occurred in this case.
- 20:47Speaker 3: Ben MacArthur, thank you so much for your time tonight.
- 20:50Speaker 13: Thanks Reta.
- 20:51Speaker 3: Still to Kama, Left is A Losing It plus.
- 20:53Speaker 4: The latest from the US, including Larry David's bizarre attacks
- 20:59Speaker 4: on the Fild much Osh Hammer as the details. You're
- 21:11Speaker 4: watching the Riada Panney Show and it's time for Lefti's
- 21:14Speaker 4: Losing It.
- 21:15Speaker 3: Rosie O'Donnell. We're going to talk about Rosie again.
- 21:18Speaker 4: She continues to make a fool of herself in TV interviews.
- 21:22Speaker 4: It appears since fleeing America due to an incurable case
- 21:26Speaker 4: of TDS, her full time job is doing these daft
- 21:30Speaker 4: interviews where she says stuff.
- 21:32Speaker 5: Like this, I knew after reading Project twenty twenty five
- 21:35Speaker 5: that if Trump got in it was time for me
- 21:39Speaker 5: and my non binary child to leave the country. And
- 21:42Speaker 5: although I was not one of the celebrities who announced
- 21:45Speaker 5: that that's what I would do, I would made the
- 21:47Speaker 5: decision within my family and my therapist, and should he win,
- 21:52Speaker 5: and then when he did, we made the plan into
- 21:55Speaker 5: action and we were gone before he was inaugurated.
- 21:58Speaker 4: Yes, she fled with her non binary child to a
- 22:01Speaker 4: country that is more socially conservative than much of America,
- 22:05Speaker 4: certainly more than the blue city she fled.
- 22:07Speaker 3: Rosie is not that bright, it seems.
- 22:10Speaker 4: Perhaps she missed the fact that Island's abortion laws are
- 22:13Speaker 4: pretty strict, only freely available in the first trimester, or
- 22:16Speaker 4: the fact that fewer than one in five seventeen percent
- 22:20Speaker 4: in fact, of Irish folk agree with laws allowing a
- 22:24Speaker 4: person to change their birth certificate when they self identify
- 22:28Speaker 4: as the opposite sex. But Rosie doesn't care about those
- 22:32Speaker 4: sorts of facts. She's obsessed with Project twenty five.
- 22:35Speaker 5: It's been heartbreaking. I have to tell you, I knew
- 22:38Speaker 5: that if I was in the United States and watched
- 22:41Speaker 5: them destroy the country and the Constitution and really pay
- 22:47Speaker 5: no mind to any of the laws that the founders
- 22:50Speaker 5: stood by and that our country stands for as a
- 22:53Speaker 5: beacon of shining laden freedom for the rest of the world,
- 22:56Speaker 5: that should he do what the Heritage Foundation said he
- 22:59Speaker 5: was going to do in that Project twenty five.
- 23:02Speaker 3: That we were going to be in big trouble.
- 23:04Speaker 5: And it's as bad as they promised, and even a
- 23:07Speaker 5: little bit worse. And it's been heartbreaking and personally very
- 23:11Speaker 5: very sad to watch.
- 23:12Speaker 4: I'll tell you not everyone is happy with Rosie moving
- 23:15Speaker 4: to Ireland.
- 23:16Speaker 3: Let's hear from this local woman. Rosie o'donald has just
- 23:20Speaker 3: moved to Ireland. How do you feel about her coming
- 23:21Speaker 3: to Ireland.
- 23:23Speaker 14: I'm pretty disgusted, to be honest, I'm failure aware of
- 23:26Speaker 14: the housing situation here and for someone to come to
- 23:29Speaker 14: our country to hide from the President of the United States,
- 23:33Speaker 14: They're very not welcome here.
- 23:34Speaker 10: It's absolutely disgusting.
- 23:36Speaker 4: Now to the University of North Carolina, where Republican Nancy
- 23:39Speaker 4: Mace was being hickled by some dude in address demanding
- 23:43Speaker 4: an apology. Listen here how his voice changes about halfway
- 23:49Speaker 4: through this exchange.
- 23:51Speaker 10: Does your husband okay, okay.
- 24:09Speaker 9: Yeah, try that's a time.
- 24:15Speaker 4: Oh that was a dramatic change, wasn't it? And why
- 24:18Speaker 4: did he pick up that pop plan? Was it going
- 24:20Speaker 4: to water it or hurl it at someone? Now let's
- 24:23Speaker 4: check in with our friends at CNN who are now
- 24:26Speaker 4: reporting on Joe Biden's cognitive decline.
- 24:29Speaker 3: It's a little bit late.
- 24:30Speaker 4: Now, let's have a look at what they were claiming
- 24:33Speaker 4: last year.
- 24:34Speaker 3: In the lead up to that debate with Donald.
- 24:36Speaker 15: Trump, President Biden has spent days locked in intense preparation,
- 24:40Speaker 15: surrounded by his closest advisors at Camp David, and our
- 24:43Speaker 15: sources are telling us tonight that full mark debates are
- 24:46Speaker 15: underway at the podium under the lights. He's even watching
- 24:49Speaker 15: tape to know exactly what he's going to see when
- 24:52Speaker 15: he steps up to that lecture, as team shot a
- 24:54Speaker 15: video during a walk through the CNN studio, and as
- 24:57Speaker 15: I reported while covering him at the White House. When
- 25:00Speaker 15: Biden prepares, he does so incredibly intensively.
- 25:03Speaker 3: Oh really, Caitlyn, incredibly intensively.
- 25:07Speaker 4: Does that include poolside naps because he's got no idea
- 25:10Speaker 4: what's happening. Let's hear what CNN is saying now now
- 25:14Speaker 4: that it doesn't really matter.
- 25:16Speaker 3: And thanks to May's Moore for this bit of gold.
- 25:20Speaker 12: So just how worried where Biden aids Before the former
- 25:22Speaker 12: president's disastrous debate last summer. According to Ron Klain, his
- 25:26Speaker 12: chief of staff, his concerns could not be overstated. At
- 25:30Speaker 12: his first meeting with Biden for debate prep, quote, Claan
- 25:33Speaker 12: was startled. He'd never seen Biden so exhausted and so
- 25:36Speaker 12: out of it. Biden was unaware of what was happening
- 25:39Speaker 12: in his own campaign. Halfway through the session, the President
- 25:42Speaker 12: excused himself and went off to sit by the pool.
- 25:44Speaker 3: Part about the pool.
- 25:45Speaker 12: He went off. This is in the middle of debate prep,
- 25:47Speaker 12: went off to the pool, and he took a nap.
- 25:50Speaker 4: And let's hear from Pocahontas Elizabeth Warren, who claimed that
- 25:55Speaker 4: Biden was as sharp as attack. Now she thinks her
- 25:58Speaker 4: lies about the president and some big joke.
- 26:02Speaker 9: Do you regret saying that President Biden had a mental acuity,
- 26:06Speaker 9: he had a sharpness to him. You said that up
- 26:08Speaker 9: until July of last year. I said, what I believed
- 26:12Speaker 9: to be true. And you think he was as sharp
- 26:14Speaker 9: as you?
- 26:19Speaker 8: I said, I had not seen decline.
- 26:24Speaker 4: Can you believe that that interview as Sam Frogoso did
- 26:27Speaker 4: a fantastic job there.
- 26:29Speaker 3: These people really are beneath contempt. Listen to Pocahontas. Here heap. Look,
- 26:36Speaker 3: he was sharp, he was on his feet. I saw
- 26:40Speaker 3: him live event.
- 26:42Speaker 8: I had meetings with him a couple of times.
- 26:44Speaker 9: Senator on his feet is not praise. He can speak
- 26:50Speaker 9: in sentences is not praise.
- 26:52Speaker 8: Fair enough, fair enough.
- 26:55Speaker 4: Now, after that dinner at the White House, lifty luminary
- 26:58Speaker 4: Bill Maher is doing his to redeem himself with the
- 27:02Speaker 4: looney mob or outrage of this art and Trump hater
- 27:05Speaker 4: would break bread with the President and then given honest
- 27:09Speaker 4: appraisal of what happened during that dinner. But as Mars said,
- 27:13Speaker 4: he was not going to stop criticizing the president all
- 27:16Speaker 4: the VP.
- 27:17Speaker 2: It seems we have a constitutional crisis today. Malania had
- 27:21Speaker 2: a jacket that said, I'm starting to care and not
- 27:23Speaker 2: just Trump jd vance our vised president. He's in Rome.
- 27:26Speaker 2: You know, he's a convert, a recent convert to cats.
- 27:29Speaker 2: He's married to a Hindu. Goes right to the Catholics.
- 27:32Speaker 2: I don't know what that's said, but he's but he was.
- 27:39Speaker 2: He converted to titarism because he heard heard priests like
- 27:42Speaker 2: little pricks.
- 27:44Speaker 4: So I'm not sure that's going to be enough to
- 27:47Speaker 4: stop the hit pieces and the mockery from the likes
- 27:51Speaker 4: of Larry David, who lampooned mar with this piece in
- 27:54Speaker 4: The New York Times entitled My Dinner with Ada Adolf.
- 27:58Speaker 4: In it, David wrote here, I was prepared to meet Hitler,
- 28:02Speaker 4: the one I'd seen and heard, the public Hitler.
- 28:05Speaker 3: But this private Hitler was a completely different animal.
- 28:10Speaker 4: Joining me now is Newsweek Senior Editor at Large and
- 28:13Speaker 4: Article three Projects Senior Council Josh Hammer. Josh, how disappointing
- 28:19Speaker 4: to see this unfunny mess from a comedy great like
- 28:23Speaker 4: Larry David.
- 28:25Speaker 16: Well, I wish I could say it were surprising, Rita,
- 28:28Speaker 16: It's not even remotely surprising. Larry David has one of
- 28:31Speaker 16: the most notorious cases of Trump drangement syndrome from sea
- 28:34Speaker 16: designing see here in the United States. You know, it's
- 28:37Speaker 16: worth noting that since October seventh and the horrific tragedy
- 28:42Speaker 16: in Israel, there so Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David co
- 28:45Speaker 16: created Seinfeld the sitcom here back in the nineteen nineties. There,
- 28:48Speaker 16: Jerry Seinfeld, to his credit, has actually been very outspoken
- 28:51Speaker 16: against the raging pro Hamas mobs. Larry David has not
- 28:54Speaker 16: said a single word. And this is a man who
- 28:58Speaker 16: it's actually much more than just that one issue for him.
- 29:01Speaker 16: I heard once upon a time a story from Alan Dershowitz,
- 29:04Speaker 16: of all people, another man who has heterodot's political views.
- 29:07Speaker 16: But apparently Larry David saw Alan Derschwitz at a supermarket
- 29:12Speaker 16: or a local convenience story in Martha's Vivanuary where I
- 29:14Speaker 16: guess they both have a house, and Larry David just
- 29:16Speaker 16: started yelling at the top his lungs at Alan Derswitz
- 29:19Speaker 16: or having the temerity to represent Donald Trump in his
- 29:21Speaker 16: impeachment proceedings back in twenty twenty there. I mean, Larry David,
- 29:26Speaker 16: this is not a fun thing for me to say.
- 29:28Speaker 16: I actually love curb your enthusiasm. I think Larry David
- 29:31Speaker 16: genuinely is a funny person when he wants to be
- 29:33Speaker 16: a funny person. But as is too often the case,
- 29:36Speaker 16: whether it's Larry David, whether it's Robert DeNiro, whether it's
- 29:38Speaker 16: any of these other celebrities who are very good when
- 29:41Speaker 16: they stay in their lane, and they have a very
- 29:43Speaker 16: nasty habit of getting outside their lane. Frankly, Riada, between
- 29:46Speaker 16: me and you, I happen to be a huge opponent
- 29:49Speaker 16: of the old Laura Ingraham line, which was said in
- 29:51Speaker 16: a very different context about Lebron James of shut up
- 29:54Speaker 16: in Dribbles. So in this particular case, to Larry David,
- 29:56Speaker 16: I would say, shut up and just tell some funny jokes.
- 30:01Speaker 4: He's always become a characterture of his character on Kurb
- 30:07Speaker 4: Your Enthusiasm, And I've got to say I loved Curb
- 30:11Speaker 4: so much, but the last couple of seasons it did
- 30:14Speaker 4: kind of jump the shark a little bit. Still had
- 30:16Speaker 4: a few good moments, but there's just a lot of
- 30:21Speaker 4: weaker moments.
- 30:22Speaker 3: You know what.
- 30:23Speaker 4: No one can be in peak condition throughout their comedy career,
- 30:26Speaker 4: and I guess Larry David is an example of that.
- 30:28Speaker 3: But that piece was.
- 30:29Speaker 4: Just so pitiful, Josh, and so cliche to go to
- 30:33Speaker 4: a Hitler analogy, really, I mean like it's just so old,
- 30:39Speaker 4: and I don't know, I thought he was above that. Now,
- 30:44Speaker 4: former White House Press Secretary Jensaki has earned the title
- 30:48Speaker 4: of Captain Obvious by admitting that, well something everybody knew
- 30:53Speaker 4: that MSNBC is hopelessly biased to the left, whether it's
- 30:57Speaker 4: opinion programs or news reporting. She said in a recent
- 31:01Speaker 4: podcast that when we talk about trap, it's typically not
- 31:04Speaker 4: going to be positive.
- 31:06Speaker 3: I don't think anybody watching.
- 31:08Speaker 4: Expects it to be positive, right, Well, no, we don't,
- 31:12Speaker 4: But I do wonder if MSNBC viewers do think they're
- 31:16Speaker 4: getting impartial news reporting. Opinion is opinion, but you would
- 31:20Speaker 4: hope that when you're reporting something as a journalist, you
- 31:26Speaker 4: can at least pretend to be unbiased and straight down
- 31:30Speaker 4: the line.
- 31:32Speaker 16: So MSNBC's ratings here are absolutely positively horrific. It was
- 31:35Speaker 16: really not that long ago, actually, that Elon Musk was
- 31:38Speaker 16: making some waves by talking about potentially purchasing MSNBC, which
- 31:42Speaker 16: I would be the first to very strongly encourage him
- 31:44Speaker 16: to do. Elon, if you're still considering it, I think
- 31:45Speaker 16: this'll be a wonderful idea, actually, But their ratings have
- 31:49Speaker 16: been quite pitiful for a number of years now. There's
- 31:51Speaker 16: somewhat of a fraction of the ratings of CNN, which
- 31:53Speaker 16: are themselves just a tiny, tiny fraction of Fox News,
- 31:56Speaker 16: which totally dominates cable news here in the United States. There,
- 32:00Speaker 16: I mean, Jensaki is saying the obvious part out loud.
- 32:02Speaker 11: You know.
- 32:03Speaker 16: Here's what I will say though, speaking of Fox News.
- 32:05Speaker 16: You know Fox News primetime lineup here, Laura Ingram, Sean Hannity,
- 32:08Speaker 16: folks of that, you know, say what you will. But
- 32:10Speaker 16: for most of the daytime programming on Fox News, you're
- 32:13Speaker 16: getting straight news here in the United States. There MSNBC,
- 32:17Speaker 16: I'm not aware of a single hour of the day.
- 32:19Speaker 16: I'm not aware of the of a single hour of
- 32:21Speaker 16: the day when you're getting anything other than just straight
- 32:25Speaker 16: DNC Democratic National Committee talking points, straight up propaganda there.
- 32:30Speaker 16: I mean the fact that they have someone like Jensaki
- 32:33Speaker 16: on the payroll hosting a show basically says everything needs
- 32:36Speaker 16: to know. Frankly, reader, Actually, I think back to Mehdi Hassan,
- 32:39Speaker 16: who has actually let go of MSNBC over the past
- 32:42Speaker 16: year and a half or so. Man as I say
- 32:45Speaker 16: a lot about Mehdi Hassan, actually that he was too
- 32:47Speaker 16: far left, too often in Cuckoo for Coco Pops Land
- 32:50Speaker 16: in La La, and that even MSNBC felt the need
- 32:53Speaker 16: to let him go there. But Jensaki, as a former
- 32:55Speaker 16: Biden spokesperson, is basically right at home there, and the
- 32:58Speaker 16: viewers this point, she's right the expect that there, but
- 33:01Speaker 16: they're being fed a delusion of lies and a day
- 33:03Speaker 16: in day and basis there. It's not good for them,
- 33:05Speaker 16: it's not good for the country, it's not good for anyone.
- 33:09Speaker 3: No, and that.
- 33:09Speaker 4: The Democrats on MSNBC and elsewhere have gone from defending
- 33:14Speaker 4: this so called Maryland Dad, the MS thirteen gang banger
- 33:18Speaker 4: who was in the country illegally, has now been deported
- 33:22Speaker 4: to El Salvador.
- 33:23Speaker 3: They've gone from defending him, Josh, to now linizing him.
- 33:28Speaker 4: A number of Democrats have traveled to El Salvador to
- 33:32Speaker 4: try to meet with him, advocate on his behalf, and
- 33:36Speaker 4: their supporters. The Democrat voters are posting content like this.
- 33:41Speaker 11: Kilmar Abrego Garcia will be coming home. I'm so happy
- 33:46Speaker 11: for you and your child and your family and your
- 33:50Speaker 11: friends and your community, and I'm so happy for.
- 33:56Speaker 3: Our country. You are.
- 34:00Speaker 11: Sprinkle of good news right now in this country. So
- 34:04Speaker 11: you're a symbol, brother.
- 34:06Speaker 10: The sprinkle of good news, Josh, a symbol.
- 34:10Speaker 4: It's so crazy that I almost think it must be
- 34:13Speaker 4: a parody. But then I say, democrats elected Democrats saying
- 34:17Speaker 4: as much as they travel to South America to try
- 34:20Speaker 4: to bring this miss screant back into the country.
- 34:24Speaker 16: Yeah, so with Kilmar and Brego Garcia, we're talking here.
- 34:27Speaker 16: Let's be clear, not just about an illegal alien, not
- 34:30Speaker 16: just someone who was found to have credible affiliations with
- 34:33Speaker 16: MS thirteen, one of the most murderous transnational gangs in
- 34:36Speaker 16: the entire Western hemisphere. You know, he also his wife
- 34:40Speaker 16: or his ex wife. I forgot, I forgot the exact relation.
- 34:42Speaker 16: Also filed for a restraining order because he was he
- 34:44Speaker 16: was a domestic abuser there. So you know this, you
- 34:47Speaker 16: know you knows, mister all American there. I mean, seriously,
- 34:50Speaker 16: like the way this person describes kill Mark Rego Garcia,
- 34:53Speaker 16: the way that MSNBC and Jen Saki described him. You know,
- 34:56Speaker 16: mister marilynd Man, you know, you would think he's out
- 34:58Speaker 16: there strapping his white T shirt and his and his
- 35:01Speaker 16: jeans at the white picket fence, the cat, the dog,
- 35:04Speaker 16: the wife, the kids. He's mister all American rights. He's
- 35:08Speaker 16: nothing like that. He's not an American citizen. He's a miscreant.
- 35:11Speaker 16: He's a thug, he's a criminal, he's tied to MS
- 35:14Speaker 16: thirteen and he's back nun where he belongs. But what
- 35:17Speaker 16: does it say about the Democrats that they go to
- 35:19Speaker 16: the mattresses or someone like Kilmara Brego Garcia. They go
- 35:22Speaker 16: to the mattresses for people like Makmu Khalil, the Hamas
- 35:25Speaker 16: sympathizing Syrian or Algerian national who was recently sent packing
- 35:30Speaker 16: or at leases in the process of going packing because
- 35:32Speaker 16: of his involving in with the Columbia University pro Hamas riots.
- 35:35Speaker 16: Last right there, they love these people there. The left
- 35:38Speaker 16: consistently takes these eighty twenty or ninety ten issues on
- 35:41Speaker 16: the wrong side of the ledger Rita. Sometimes I just
- 35:44Speaker 16: scratched my head and I look at look at clips
- 35:47Speaker 16: like this. I look at this stunt like Chris van
- 35:49Speaker 16: Holland the dim wooded center from Maryland flying down to
- 35:51Speaker 16: Ales Salvador on the tax aradime visiting this miscreant in
- 35:55Speaker 16: nayubu Kell's maximum security prison.
- 35:57Speaker 3: There.
- 35:58Speaker 16: I mean, literally, who is the market for? Like literally
- 36:01Speaker 16: what is the constituent? And I sometimes I just throw
- 36:05Speaker 16: my hands up reata. Sometimes I just say I have
- 36:07Speaker 16: no idea what the training do. I really don't.
- 36:09Speaker 4: Who's the target market. I guess the MSNBC is ever
- 36:13Speaker 4: diminishing number of viewers because the deportation policy remains enormously popular,
- 36:19Speaker 4: and it's probably going to get even more popular.
- 36:20Speaker 3: With this new information.
- 36:23Speaker 4: The policy has seen a six hundred and fifty five
- 36:26Speaker 4: percent spike in arrests of terrorists in the US, including
- 36:30Speaker 4: one of India's most wanted. New Homeland security data obtained
- 36:34Speaker 4: by The New York Post shows the Trump administration's mass
- 36:38Speaker 4: deportation rates have nabbed more than two hundred known or
- 36:41Speaker 4: suspected terrorists since January, including the man accused of masterminding
- 36:46Speaker 4: a grenade attack in India who has ties to a
- 36:50Speaker 4: US designated terrorist organization in Pakistan, Josh.
- 36:54Speaker 3: These cases do not get.
- 36:55Speaker 4: Much media attention, not like the Maryland Dad, but the
- 36:59Speaker 4: deport plan remains popular with Americans, particularly Trump voters.
- 37:06Speaker 16: Oh yeah, it's overwhelmingly popular. I mean Donald Trump's immigration agenda.
- 37:10Speaker 16: I mean, do not let the New York Times remans
- 37:12Speaker 16: NBC dilute you into thinking anything to the contrary. It
- 37:15Speaker 16: is actually wildly popular. The national polling reflects this.
- 37:19Speaker 3: By the way.
- 37:19Speaker 16: I mean, let's take Donald Trump's maybe signature campaign promise,
- 37:23Speaker 16: which is to deport all of the legal aliens here. So,
- 37:26Speaker 16: when I first started following this data, call it thirteen
- 37:29Speaker 16: fourteen years ago or so, around the time that I
- 37:31Speaker 16: was getting ready to start law school here in the
- 37:32Speaker 16: United States, that was a losing issue for Republicans. For
- 37:36Speaker 16: Republicans who took the maximal Hawker's position on immigration, that
- 37:39Speaker 16: we were going to deport all illegal aliens, you had
- 37:42Speaker 16: roughly thirty to thirty five percent towards twenty twelve, twenty
- 37:45Speaker 16: thirteen around then. You look now at the data, well
- 37:49Speaker 16: over sixty percent depends on the poll, but typically well
- 37:51Speaker 16: over sixty percent of Americans now say that they support
- 37:54Speaker 16: deporting all illegal aliens in this country. That is a
- 37:56Speaker 16: veritable sea change. That's a massive, massive seed change here
- 38:00Speaker 16: on the issue of illegal immigration. There and the data
- 38:03Speaker 16: basically speak for itself. Read ever since, ever since this
- 38:06Speaker 16: administration got started, there encounters between illegal aliens and customs
- 38:11Speaker 16: and border protection at the southern border are dramatically down.
- 38:14Speaker 16: There gotta ways which are basically illegal aliens who show
- 38:16Speaker 16: up between ports of entry managed to escape into the
- 38:18Speaker 16: American interior. Those numbers are way down as well. There,
- 38:22Speaker 16: all that has to do from the top guy on down,
- 38:24Speaker 16: has to do with Donald Trubman, has to do with
- 38:25Speaker 16: Steven Miller, the exceptional deputy White House shoe staff in
- 38:28Speaker 16: charge of immigration policy, has to do with Tom Homan
- 38:31Speaker 16: the borders are, who was just just frankly, just fantastic.
- 38:34Speaker 16: He's just a magnificent one of the unherlded, unsung heroes
- 38:38Speaker 16: of this administration.
- 38:38Speaker 17: There.
- 38:39Speaker 16: So, from soup to notts, the immigration agenda is actually
- 38:42Speaker 16: working very very well in terms of political popularity.
- 38:44Speaker 11: Now.
- 38:45Speaker 16: The courts are doing their darnedest, They're doing their darnedest
- 38:47Speaker 16: here to gum up the work. So that's basically the
- 38:50Speaker 16: best tool that the anti Trump resistance has there. They're
- 38:52Speaker 16: not going to let go of that anytime soon. There,
- 38:54Speaker 16: that's a whole nother can of worms. But other than
- 38:56Speaker 16: the whole judicial issue there, it's working quite well, i
- 38:58Speaker 16: would say, from an article to president power perspective.
- 39:03Speaker 4: Now, the tariff wars are continuing there and continuing to
- 39:07Speaker 4: impact the stock market. Donald Trump has indicated today that
- 39:10Speaker 4: he is going to reduce the tariffs on China. Ultimately, Josh,
- 39:15Speaker 4: it's interesting to see so many on the left side
- 39:19Speaker 4: with China, side with the Chinese Communist Party that kills dissidents,
- 39:25Speaker 4: enslaves the uigas. It's the brutal regime that is a
- 39:29Speaker 4: clear and present danger to the West. And you wrote
- 39:32Speaker 4: about President Trump and his life's work culminating with this
- 39:37Speaker 4: confrontation with China. Tell me why you argue America's trade
- 39:41Speaker 4: war with China has to happen and why this rogue
- 39:45Speaker 4: superpower as you call them, must be crushed.
- 39:49Speaker 16: Well, China has been ripping the crap out the United
- 39:51Speaker 16: States for decades on end, and Donald Trump, to his
- 39:54Speaker 16: great credit, has been at the tip of the spear
- 39:56Speaker 16: of pointing this out time and time and time again,
- 39:59Speaker 16: even as elites of both parties here in the United
- 40:01Speaker 16: States continued to issue all these platitudes about how welcoming
- 40:05Speaker 16: China into the Western economies would somehow be better for
- 40:09Speaker 16: all parties involved here. Back in the Bush administration the
- 40:11Speaker 16: early two thousands, Republicans and Democrats alike both welcomed China
- 40:15Speaker 16: into the World Trade Organization. It has not worked out well.
- 40:18Speaker 16: It has not worked out well at all. China routinely
- 40:20Speaker 16: pilfers American intellectual property and trade secrets simply is a
- 40:24Speaker 16: cost of doing business there. Then they basically steal that
- 40:26Speaker 16: intellectual property, they illegally subsidize it in violation of World
- 40:30Speaker 16: Trade Organization rules, and then export them for dumping in
- 40:33Speaker 16: form markets well be well below market value there. This
- 40:37Speaker 16: is a road country on the geopolitical chessboard as well.
- 40:39Speaker 16: Look at how they're siding with Lamar Putin and Ukraine,
- 40:42Speaker 16: how they're routinely siding with Iran, North Korea, Venezuela, Cuba.
- 40:46Speaker 16: I live in South Florida. China is very very cozy
- 40:49Speaker 16: with Cuba just ninety miles off our shore. They are
- 40:52Speaker 16: controlling large swaths of the Panama Canal. They have a
- 40:55Speaker 16: deep water port in Peru. This is the threat. I mean,
- 40:57Speaker 16: we have literally given our symbol asational foe, our geopolitical foe.
- 41:01Speaker 16: We've literally given them the rope with which to hang ourselves.
- 41:04Speaker 16: The mere fact now that we are so dependent on
- 41:06Speaker 16: Chinese goods there makes us a very difficult situation to
- 41:09Speaker 16: try to claw our way out of there. But Donald
- 41:12Speaker 16: Trump is a very prescient, forward thinking guy on this issue.
- 41:14Speaker 11: There.
- 41:14Speaker 16: He's fundamentally read to trying to become the first president
- 41:17Speaker 16: since Richard Nixon visited Maoziedung in nineteen seventy two. He's
- 41:20Speaker 16: trying to become the first president to undo the contemporary
- 41:24Speaker 16: modern US China economic relationship Bear Hug. I wish him
- 41:28Speaker 16: nothing but the best. This trade war has to happen there. Frankly,
- 41:31Speaker 16: I take solat knowing that we have the right man
- 41:33Speaker 16: at the right time, for the right cause. So I
- 41:35Speaker 16: just say god speed.
- 41:36Speaker 3: Mister President.
- 41:39Speaker 4: It will be fascinating to see how this plays out.
- 41:42Speaker 4: This is a not a short term strategy. This is
- 41:45Speaker 4: something for the long term health of the country, the
- 41:48Speaker 4: long term health of the West, and I think many
- 41:51Speaker 4: people are losing.
- 41:52Speaker 3: Sight of that.
- 41:52Speaker 4: They're just looking at the fluctuations in the stock market
- 41:55Speaker 4: daily and wanting decisions to be based on that.
- 41:58Speaker 3: Josh Hamma, thank you so much for your time tonight.
- 42:01Speaker 18: Thank you.
- 42:02Speaker 4: D still to calm the Australian twins that have become
- 42:05Speaker 4: an international sensation. D D.
- 42:08Speaker 3: Dun Levy joins me next. Welcome back.
- 42:19Speaker 4: Joining me now is veteran broadcaster Diane d d dune Levy.
- 42:23Speaker 13: D D.
- 42:24Speaker 3: Let's start with the Royals.
- 42:25Speaker 4: Prince William has appointed Jason North, a former royal aide
- 42:30Speaker 4: who accused Meghan Markle of bullying. He's appointed this dude
- 42:35Speaker 4: as the CEO of his green charity, the Earth Shot Prize.
- 42:40Speaker 4: This looks like an unequivocal message to Prince Harry and
- 42:44Speaker 4: Meghan Markle from Prince William. I of all the people
- 42:47Speaker 4: who could have appointed d d his picked this dude.
- 42:51Speaker 12: Yeah.
- 42:51Speaker 18: Look, I honestly don't believe that William is that vindictive.
- 42:55Speaker 18: But it does actually tell us a lot Because this guy,
- 42:58Speaker 18: Jason North now pronounced he was the person who filed
- 43:03Speaker 18: the complaint back in twenty eighteen alleging that Meghan was
- 43:07Speaker 18: bullying people behind.
- 43:08Speaker 3: The scenes in the Palace.
- 43:10Speaker 18: He at that time was communications ahead for both William
- 43:15Speaker 18: and Kate and for Harry and Meghan, so he obviously
- 43:19Speaker 18: knows what's going on behind the scenes quite clearly. So
- 43:22Speaker 18: I think what this appointment tells us is that he's
- 43:25Speaker 18: still trusted and respected member behind the palace walls, and
- 43:31Speaker 18: that then adds credibility to those claims that he came
- 43:35Speaker 18: forward with back in twenty eighteen. So I think it
- 43:37Speaker 18: tells us a lot more than just the fact that
- 43:40Speaker 18: he's still at William's side.
- 43:44Speaker 4: I think it tells us that they believe his version
- 43:46Speaker 4: of events rather than Harry and Meghan's. Meghan Markel has
- 43:52Speaker 4: been caught up in another plagiarism accusation. The author of
- 43:56Speaker 4: the children's book series Pearl Power has told The Daily
- 44:01Speaker 4: mal that Markl's Netflix series that has now been scrapped,
- 44:06Speaker 4: which was said to be named Pearl, had many similarities
- 44:09Speaker 4: to her books that were too great to ignore. Dds
- 44:13Speaker 4: She's had a few of these sorts of accusations in
- 44:15Speaker 4: recent times.
- 44:16Speaker 18: Yes, Megan loves copying things, doesn't she. I mean, I
- 44:19Speaker 18: could be wrong. Maybe Meghan invented jam. Maybe there's never
- 44:23Speaker 18: been jammed before she came up with jam and started
- 44:26Speaker 18: selling it to her.
- 44:27Speaker 3: That's possibility.
- 44:29Speaker 18: It's really interesting the timing with this particular case. So
- 44:31Speaker 18: this woman's books were written seven years earlier than all
- 44:34Speaker 18: of this happened than Meghan's show. Pearl was announced in
- 44:38Speaker 18: twenty twenty one, and around that time a letter was
- 44:41Speaker 18: sent from this author to Netflix and to Meghan's arch
- 44:46Speaker 18: well I think was the company at the time. And
- 44:50Speaker 18: around that same time it was then announced that Meghan's
- 44:54Speaker 18: version of Pearl would not be proceeding. But the interesting
- 44:57Speaker 18: thing in the thing, I think that this author is
- 44:58Speaker 18: disappointed with is that Meghan never responded to that letter.
- 45:02Speaker 18: And as she said, you know, Meghan calls herself a feminist,
- 45:05Speaker 18: and here she's appearing, we'll never know for sure, appearing
- 45:09Speaker 18: to take let's just be generous as a inspiration from
- 45:13Speaker 18: the work of another woman.
- 45:14Speaker 3: It doesn't fit.
- 45:15Speaker 18: It's a case of you know, do as I say,
- 45:18Speaker 18: don't do as I do. And like you said, Brita,
- 45:21Speaker 18: you know she's the copying claims just continue to come.
- 45:25Speaker 18: There's the show that very very closely resembles the one
- 45:29Speaker 18: that was put out a few months earlier by Pamela Anderson.
- 45:33Speaker 18: And there's the logo for her as ever, which looked
- 45:36Speaker 18: very much like the coat of arms for a small
- 45:38Speaker 18: town in Spain. It just tells us that nothing she
- 45:42Speaker 18: does is original. I just find her such a faker
- 45:45Speaker 18: and she's not a person that I would ever look
- 45:48Speaker 18: to for inspiration about anything because nothing she does is original.
- 45:55Speaker 3: Well she did.
- 45:56Speaker 4: I think she's the only person who has taken pretzels
- 45:59Speaker 4: from a bag that she's purchased at the shop and
- 46:02Speaker 4: put them in another bag, and that's been part of
- 46:04Speaker 4: her lifestyle programs, So that was pretty original. I'm not
- 46:10Speaker 4: sure one that should be emulated. But now this Chattel
- 46:16Speaker 4: seven clip has gone viral around the world. This is
- 46:20Speaker 4: just causing a sensation. It features twin sisters, Bridget and
- 46:23Speaker 4: Paula Powers, recounting a terrifying or deal involving a gunman
- 46:29Speaker 4: on the Sunshine Coasts.
- 46:31Speaker 10: Steve Irban away. But listen to this.
- 46:34Speaker 3: I mean they just are entirely in sync with each other.
- 46:38Speaker 17: And one guy, he was up there with our mom
- 46:41Speaker 17: and he went up there and he was coming back
- 46:45Speaker 17: down on the wards and he goes, run, he's got
- 46:49Speaker 17: a gun. And our hearts started a pond and I said,
- 46:54Speaker 17: well mom, where's mom? And paul Mam was suck up there,
- 46:59Speaker 17: but the pan are you our brave mum? She goes,
- 47:02Speaker 17: are you all right?
- 47:03Speaker 9: Because he had all blood all.
- 47:04Speaker 17: Over his face, and he goes, I'll shoot you. She goes, hey,
- 47:10Speaker 17: I'm here to hell.
- 47:12Speaker 4: I mean that went on for several minutes. I've just
- 47:14Speaker 4: played you thirty seconds. But there's plenty more of that,
- 47:18Speaker 4: just in unison, the hand movements, the words, the tone,
- 47:24Speaker 4: and they appeared on the project last night for more
- 47:26Speaker 4: of the same.
- 47:27Speaker 13: Well it just happened.
- 47:28Speaker 17: Then, we don't know why, But we have tried to
- 47:32Speaker 17: tell separately, we're not ourselves.
- 47:35Speaker 3: It's not us. I'm lost for words.
- 47:39Speaker 4: DD, something supernatural is happening there.
- 47:43Speaker 3: What do you think? I love it. I just think
- 47:46Speaker 3: they're really cute.
- 47:47Speaker 18: And whether it is a very well honed act or
- 47:49Speaker 18: whether it is coming naturally, I tend to believe my
- 47:52Speaker 18: godsons are twins, and they invented their own language when
- 47:55Speaker 18: they were tiny. When they first started to speaking curiously,
- 47:58Speaker 18: even though they're you know, I was born and bred,
- 48:00Speaker 18: they spoke with English accents, which was very odd.
- 48:04Speaker 3: I'm going to give you a recommendation.
- 48:05Speaker 18: There's a show called The rain Man Twins and it
- 48:08Speaker 18: features two twins that gosh have been their sixties now
- 48:11Speaker 18: called Flow and k Lyman, and they are autistic salent twins.
- 48:18Speaker 18: They have literally memorized everything that has happened in the
- 48:22Speaker 18: world since they were born. And it's a documentary. It'd
- 48:25Speaker 18: be floating around somewhere. You'd be able to google it
- 48:28Speaker 18: rhetor it's worth it. I highly recommend it The rain
- 48:30Speaker 18: Man Twin.
- 48:31Speaker 4: I'd tell you this, these two, it's not an act.
- 48:35Speaker 4: They're not rehearsing, and it just there is just too
- 48:39Speaker 4: much footage of them. They just I don't know they're
- 48:42Speaker 4: in sync with each other. I mean they say we
- 48:44Speaker 4: shared some something.
- 48:46Speaker 3: No one, You are.
- 48:48Speaker 10: So cynical, Didie?
- 48:49Speaker 3: I mean, how can you be that? I am?
- 48:53Speaker 18: Their school friends have said that they were never liked
- 48:55Speaker 18: that at school, but then I suppose they were younger
- 48:58Speaker 18: than you know. This is something like a my husband
- 49:00Speaker 18: and I finish each other sentences, So it is something
- 49:03Speaker 18: if you're around someone, and the twins have said that
- 49:05Speaker 18: they literally have not spent a second apart. So it's
- 49:09Speaker 18: something that's happened probably over the years. So it does
- 49:12Speaker 18: make sense if they weren't doing it at school that
- 49:14Speaker 18: they are doing it now that it's happened naturally.
- 49:16Speaker 3: Because am I more cynical than you? Is that having?
- 49:21Speaker 10: I think you are?
- 49:22Speaker 3: Because I am buying this completely. Dad done, Levy.
- 49:26Speaker 4: Thank you so much for your time tonight, and that's
- 49:29Speaker 4: it from me. That's all the time we have tonight.
- 49:32Speaker 4: Don't go anywhere Near's night is up next. I'll see
- 49:34Speaker 4: you at eleven tomorrow Night
