- 0:05Speaker 2: This is the Wader Panety Show.
- 0:08Speaker 3: Good evening and welcome to the Reader Panehy Show. We
- 0:11Speaker 3: have a packed program for you coming up tonight.
- 0:14Speaker 2: Fresh from a massive.
- 0:16Speaker 3: Winning court against the Guardian newspaper, the Great Douglas Murray
- 0:20Speaker 3: will be here and he'll be covering everything from the
- 0:23Speaker 3: Left spat wire against Elon Musk to the horrific scenes
- 0:26Speaker 3: out of Syria in local news. Electricity bills are about
- 0:30Speaker 3: to increase further with a nine percent jump for many customers.
- 0:34Speaker 2: Gary Hardgrave will have the details and.
- 0:37Speaker 3: We'll discuss calls to court an American tourist over a
- 0:41Speaker 3: baby bombat stunt. The laters from the US will be
- 0:44Speaker 3: always insightfuled Bertie Elga Sagon and later in the hour
- 0:48Speaker 3: kinsisco Field with royal and celebrity news, including a much
- 0:52Speaker 3: loved pop star under attack for praising Tucker Carlson and
- 0:58Speaker 3: Tonight's Left is Losing It.
- 0:59Speaker 2: Has a non binary musical flavor.
- 1:02Speaker 3: And we can't get enough of They their energy, But first,
- 1:16Speaker 3: the Australian Energy Regulator has approved an increase of up
- 1:19Speaker 3: to nine percent to the maximum price that energy providers
- 1:23Speaker 3: are allowed to charge their customers as the nation's energy
- 1:27Speaker 3: grid becomes increasingly expensive to run amid Labour's renewables push,
- 1:32Speaker 3: Climate Change and Energy Minister Chris Bowen had this handy
- 1:36Speaker 3: hint for Australians struggling with energy costs.
- 1:39Speaker 4: And I think these figures show an important opportunity to
- 1:42Speaker 4: remind Australians that you can do better and shop around
- 1:46Speaker 4: for a better deal. Now we've made it easier in
- 1:48Speaker 4: the Albanezi government to switch energy providers. And there are
- 1:51Speaker 4: two websites which are very useful.
- 1:54Speaker 3: Joining me now for more on this the Sky News
- 1:57Speaker 3: contributor Gary Hardgrave, Gary Shop, thanks for that advice, Chris
- 2:02Speaker 3: mo And how out of touch is this clown?
- 2:07Speaker 1: He thinks he's completely in touch, but he's living in
- 2:10Speaker 1: a non real world. He's an activist, he is not
- 2:13Speaker 1: a ministry. He doesn't care about every day Australians and
- 2:16Speaker 1: it's pretty evident every time he speaks. You know, I
- 2:19Speaker 1: remember the days before we had expensive energy, we had
- 2:21Speaker 1: coal fired power energy and we were just able to
- 2:25Speaker 1: nowly switch we wanted was the one on the wall
- 2:27Speaker 1: where we flicked the switch and it always came on
- 2:29Speaker 1: and the bill didn't shock us as much as it
- 2:32Speaker 1: does now, and I for the love and we don't
- 2:34Speaker 1: understand why somebody in politics isn't saying clearly, well, you
- 2:39Speaker 1: know what, let's go back to that. Let's go back
- 2:42Speaker 1: to coal fired power. Let's burn that beautiful black coal
- 2:46Speaker 1: we've got in the ground just a few hundred kilometers
- 2:48Speaker 1: to the northwest of where I am here in Brisbane.
- 2:51Speaker 1: Let's burn plenty of that. Let's create more cheap electricity,
- 2:54Speaker 1: baseload power. Let's get our industries going. And the whole
- 2:58Speaker 1: tariff thing, all of this stuff doesn't matter because unless
- 3:02Speaker 1: we're actually making stuff in Australia at a cheap and
- 3:04Speaker 1: competitive price, now over see is going to buy from us,
- 3:07Speaker 1: and we keep buying all this cheap stuff from overseas
- 3:10Speaker 1: because we're so done expensive and the number one reason
- 3:13Speaker 1: is electricity. Look, I know you can get rid of Bowen,
- 3:16Speaker 1: you can get rid of him tomorrow. But the trouble
- 3:18Speaker 1: is the policy is wrong and the Left are pandering
- 3:22Speaker 1: to activists, they're pandering to zelots. They've now got to
- 3:26Speaker 1: start to actually deal with what common sense everyday Australians want,
- 3:30Speaker 1: and that is cheaper power, reliable power, and where it's at,
- 3:34Speaker 1: you know, We had hundreds of thousands of people in
- 3:37Speaker 1: Southeast Queen's Name without electricity in the last week because
- 3:40Speaker 1: of that cyclone and the floods. Those two events ironically
- 3:45Speaker 1: save them a power bill. I mean, is this Chris
- 3:47Speaker 1: Bowen's idea the cheapest way to get cheaper electricity is
- 3:50Speaker 1: just to turn the power off. Is that the switch
- 3:52Speaker 1: he really means? I think, turn him off, get rid
- 3:55Speaker 1: of this government and start to get real. And I
- 3:58Speaker 1: want Peter Dunton to get real on this. So forget
- 4:01Speaker 1: the renewable stuff. Let's get on to baseload power, coal
- 4:06Speaker 1: fired power.
- 4:07Speaker 3: I say, well, Peter Dutton has called for Chris Bowen's
- 4:12Speaker 3: sacking today, is called on the Prime Minister to remove
- 4:15Speaker 3: his minister.
- 4:17Speaker 2: But he's not going to do that. We know that.
- 4:19Speaker 3: And I think Peter Dutton needs to look at his
- 4:22Speaker 3: own party's policies because yes, they've got nuclear there which
- 4:26Speaker 3: provides base load power, but they've still signed up to
- 4:30Speaker 3: net zero goals. They're still part of the Paris Climate Deal,
- 4:35Speaker 3: and you just.
- 4:35Speaker 2: Can't provide cheap, reliable.
- 4:38Speaker 3: Energy and make that your top priority when you're signed
- 4:42Speaker 3: up to these green schemes. Now, let's turn our attention
- 4:46Speaker 3: to the Trump tariff debacle. Former Foreign Minister Bob Carr,
- 4:51Speaker 3: who's an avid Trump hater, but he had this to
- 4:54Speaker 3: say on the ABC's seven point thirty last night.
- 4:57Speaker 1: I don't think we should have retaliatory tariffs regular in America.
- 5:00Speaker 1: We shouldn't delude ourselves that America regards us as special.
- 5:06Speaker 3: This comes after Foreign Minister Penny Wong revealed that she
- 5:10Speaker 3: learned about Australia being denied a tariff exemption from the media.
- 5:15Speaker 2: Gary and Anthony.
- 5:16Speaker 3: Albernizi Is also revealed that he hasn't been able to
- 5:19Speaker 3: get a phone call with the president. With President Trump,
- 5:25Speaker 3: I've got to say, Gary, I'm not shocked. We've had
- 5:29Speaker 3: the Prime Minister, We've had a number of his senior
- 5:32Speaker 3: ministers over the years make some really idiotic anti Trump statements, shortsighted,
- 5:39Speaker 3: reckless and if they thought that wasn't going to have
- 5:42Speaker 3: an impact, they're wrong. It may have not made the difference,
- 5:46Speaker 3: but it certainly isn't helping right now, and it speaks
- 5:49Speaker 3: volumes that the Prime Minister can't even get a phone
- 5:53Speaker 3: call with the President right now.
- 5:56Speaker 1: Well, sure it does. There's nothing special in a relationship
- 5:58Speaker 1: and look let's face it, the Red Publican's emblem is
- 6:02Speaker 1: an elephant, and Trump has an elephant like memory about
- 6:05Speaker 1: all of this stuff. And why wouldn't he. I mean,
- 6:09Speaker 1: look at the way we've turned our back on the
- 6:11Speaker 1: United States in recent times, at the international events. We've
- 6:14Speaker 1: sided with the terrorists in Gaza. We've not sided with
- 6:18Speaker 1: America trying to bring about peace there. We've gone exactly
- 6:21Speaker 1: the opposite on these international issues which America would normally
- 6:25Speaker 1: have relied upon us to stick with them. Now, look,
- 6:28Speaker 1: it's fine, we can make our own mind up about
- 6:30Speaker 1: these things. But we've gone the wrong way with all
- 6:33Speaker 1: these things. And knowing that Trump was on about tariffs
- 6:36Speaker 1: and seeing it as a way of stopping what he
- 6:38Speaker 1: sees as a rip off of American consumers and all
- 6:41Speaker 1: these things. I mean, there's a lot of irony in there.
- 6:44Speaker 1: And I'm all for free trade, but reckless free trade
- 6:48Speaker 1: has not actually helped Australia. And the problem, reader, is
- 6:51Speaker 1: this that we have signed up, as you say to Paris,
- 6:54Speaker 1: China doesn't, India doesn't, Indonesia doesn't, America is out. We
- 7:01Speaker 1: should be making a statement that we are far more
- 7:04Speaker 1: likely to be in partnership with America the biggest economy
- 7:08Speaker 1: in the world than anywhere else in the world. And
- 7:10Speaker 1: if the two big economies that China and America, America
- 7:14Speaker 1: and China are not in Paris, why are we in it?
- 7:17Speaker 1: So we're not actually even showing that we think the
- 7:20Speaker 1: relationship between Australia and America is anything else than a
- 7:23Speaker 1: one way street. It's what we can get from them.
- 7:25Speaker 5: Well, you know what.
- 7:26Speaker 1: They're telling us, to smarten up our get off our
- 7:30Speaker 1: backside and start making a bit of effort for ourselves.
- 7:33Speaker 1: And oh, by the way, put Australia first. I think
- 7:36Speaker 1: if we had that rhetoric coming out of the mouths
- 7:38Speaker 1: of this crazy Prime minister in his government and his
- 7:41Speaker 1: foreign minister, maybe things might be a bit better today.
- 7:46Speaker 6: Ah.
- 7:46Speaker 3: Can you imagine if we had an Australia first approach,
- 7:49Speaker 3: if the top priority was yep, our living standards, making
- 7:54Speaker 3: sure we had cheap energy, well paid jobs, getting maximum
- 7:59Speaker 3: value for being blessed with natural resources, it would be
- 8:03Speaker 3: one of the most prosperous populations anywhere in the world.
- 8:08Speaker 3: With the amount of uranium cold gas that we're sitting
- 8:11Speaker 3: on top of. As it should be, as it should
- 8:15Speaker 3: be now, Gary, Before you go. I've got to get
- 8:18Speaker 3: your input into this debate that's been raging today. There's
- 8:22Speaker 3: calls to deport an American hunting influencer, Sam Jones, who
- 8:28Speaker 3: claims to be a wildlife biologist and environmental scientist.
- 8:32Speaker 2: Now she posted a now deleted.
- 8:34Speaker 3: Video of herself stealing a baby wombat from its mother,
- 8:39Speaker 3: laughing as the distressed wombat ran after her baby.
- 8:44Speaker 2: Let's have a look at the clip.
- 8:46Speaker 1: Just caught a baby wombat.
- 8:54Speaker 7: Look at the mother.
- 8:55Speaker 8: It's like, oh, chased it.
- 8:57Speaker 9: After Thank.
- 9:07Speaker 10: Okay, mama's right there, she's pissed.
- 9:09Speaker 11: Let's let them go.
- 9:12Speaker 3: Gary, I just was so enraged when I saw that.
- 9:17Speaker 2: That is just gross.
- 9:19Speaker 3: I don't care if there was no malice, it's still
- 9:23Speaker 3: cruel dangling that poor baby wombat and obviously distressing the
- 9:27Speaker 3: poor mother. I don't know if deportation is the punishment,
- 9:32Speaker 3: but it's certainly something that deserves to be criticized heavily.
- 9:36Speaker 2: I've only got twenty seconds. What's your take.
- 9:41Speaker 1: I was on the kids show Wombat in the late
- 9:43Speaker 1: seventies early eighties. I'm passionate about wombats. There are an
- 9:46Speaker 1: endangered species, but the inhumanity of stealing a Joey Wombat
- 9:51Speaker 1: from the Mother should actually get as much punishment as
- 9:54Speaker 1: we can probably meet her, so deport never have a back.
- 9:59Speaker 1: I don't know, but it's disgusting, simply disgusting.
- 10:04Speaker 2: We're on the Unity ticket there.
- 10:06Speaker 3: Gary Hardgrave, thanks for your time tonight. Cheers joining me
- 10:11Speaker 3: now is one of the finest thinkers of his generation.
- 10:14Speaker 2: Best selling author Douglas.
- 10:16Speaker 3: Murray, Douglas, you've just had a comprehensive victory against The.
- 10:20Speaker 2: Guardian will delve into that.
- 10:22Speaker 3: Surely it was a total and utter humiliation for the publication.
- 10:26Speaker 2: But let's start in the.
- 10:27Speaker 3: US, where the attacks against Elon Musk have intensified. His companies,
- 10:32Speaker 3: including x and Tesla, are also under attack. Or because
- 10:36Speaker 3: he's part of the Trump administrations, those who are once
- 10:40Speaker 3: formed over him a few years ago are laying the
- 10:43Speaker 3: boots in now. Even aging rocker Bob Geldof has launched
- 10:48Speaker 3: into an extraordinary tirade, saying that Elon Musk is literally
- 10:52Speaker 3: taking food out of the mouths of starving children.
- 10:55Speaker 12: The richest man in the world have decided to take
- 10:59Speaker 12: away an of the life support systems of the most
- 11:02Speaker 12: fun of the poorest children on the planet, quite literally
- 11:05Speaker 12: take the last food from their mouth, quite literally, take
- 11:08Speaker 12: the bandages of the gang raped woman, quite literally. Stop
- 11:13Speaker 12: AIDS five million eights offerers getting their things so they
- 11:16Speaker 12: will die in a matter of weeks.
- 11:19Speaker 5: This is the USIID.
- 11:20Speaker 12: This is Trump and Moscow and all those.
- 11:22Speaker 2: Other creeps Douglas quite literally.
- 11:27Speaker 13: That's an example, isn't it of the unbelievable hyperbole and
- 11:33Speaker 13: rancid insult that is now allowed to pass for public
- 11:37Speaker 13: discourse or public discussion. Everybody, you can see that the
- 11:42Speaker 13: ambition of Elon Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency
- 11:47Speaker 13: is to stop obscene government waste from the US federal government,
- 11:55Speaker 13: which is of course not just It's not just random
- 11:57Speaker 13: money that comes out of the air. It is the
- 12:00Speaker 13: US taxpayers money. And there isn't a case of Elon
- 12:06Speaker 13: Musk trying to take food out of the mouth of
- 12:09Speaker 13: starving children or stop people dying. There is simply an
- 12:15Speaker 13: effort after effort that is going on in DC, and
- 12:17Speaker 13: goodness knows, there is such an entrenched bureaucracy there that
- 12:21Speaker 13: it is extremely hard to do. But there is simply
- 12:24Speaker 13: an effort by him to stop the obscene waste of
- 12:28Speaker 13: American taxpayer money. Now as Musk himself has said there
- 12:33Speaker 13: have been occasions where they've they've canceled a project and
- 12:37Speaker 13: then discovered that that was a mistake and uncanceled. The
- 12:40Speaker 13: example he gave was recently in the White House was
- 12:45Speaker 13: there was there was an ebola prevention program that was
- 12:48Speaker 13: was one of things that was cut, and they realized
- 12:50Speaker 13: that was a mistake, as he as he said, you know,
- 12:52Speaker 13: everyone's anti ebola, and they reinstated the program. So it's
- 12:58Speaker 13: inevitable that if you're going to cut in a bureaucracy
- 13:02Speaker 13: this obscenely large and wasteful and try to lose up
- 13:07Speaker 13: to two trillion of that overspend that the US does
- 13:11Speaker 13: every year, it's in evident they're going to be some
- 13:14Speaker 13: mistakes around the edges, but a doge a mask of
- 13:17Speaker 13: trying to rectify them.
- 13:19Speaker 5: Why it is just just why it is the case.
- 13:22Speaker 13: That so many celebrities and activists and others should regard
- 13:29Speaker 13: this as controversial is very striking. It is not possible
- 13:33Speaker 13: for America to keep paying more in paying down its
- 13:39Speaker 13: debt on its borrowing than it does on its military.
- 13:43Speaker 13: It's not possible for America to remain in that situation,
- 13:46Speaker 13: and it should be highly desirable that the world's superpower
- 13:52Speaker 13: does not remain a heavily indebted and overspending nation. I
- 13:57Speaker 13: don't understand why so many people aren't that difficult to get.
- 14:03Speaker 3: And this is what the American people voted for. That's
- 14:06Speaker 3: something else. They seemed more to understand that we just
- 14:08Speaker 3: had an election and the president has a mandate to
- 14:11Speaker 3: do precisely what he's doing.
- 14:14Speaker 2: I want to ask you about Syria.
- 14:15Speaker 3: There's just horrific scenes coming out of that country, the
- 14:19Speaker 3: torture and slaughter of religious minorities. Sadly, it's all too predictable.
- 14:26Speaker 3: Tulsy Gabbard, amongst others, warned about precisely this happening, but
- 14:31Speaker 3: it seems not everybody was aware. Rory Stewart and Alistair Campbell,
- 14:36Speaker 3: we're all too happy to do a softball interview with
- 14:40Speaker 3: Islam Asmad al Sahara.
- 14:42Speaker 2: Let's have a look.
- 14:43Speaker 7: It's strange for me sitting with you because we were
- 14:45Speaker 7: both in Iraq together in two thousand and three, but
- 14:48Speaker 7: we were on different states. I was part of the
- 14:51Speaker 7: American British occupation and you were fighting for al Qaeda
- 14:55Speaker 7: against the occupation, and I never mentioned I would sit
- 14:58Speaker 7: down like this to talk to you this week. What
- 15:00Speaker 7: do you reflect over time on this experience and looking
- 15:04Speaker 7: back over these years on that moment.
- 15:06Speaker 3: And Rory Stewart posted this on x about the interview
- 15:09Speaker 3: with the Jihades, saying, amazing interview, a real privileged to
- 15:13Speaker 3: be back in Syria, stunning turn of events and the
- 15:16Speaker 3: most incredible story with so much unknown for the future.
- 15:20Speaker 3: I mean, really they describe this man as a fighter
- 15:23Speaker 3: turned president Douglas. Are these two just incredibly naive or
- 15:29Speaker 3: incredibly thick?
- 15:30Speaker 2: There are no are there any other options at this point?
- 15:34Speaker 5: It's extraordinary.
- 15:35Speaker 13: I mean, Alison Campbell is just a deranged maniac by
- 15:39Speaker 13: his own admission.
- 15:40Speaker 5: Rory Stewart is a clever guy.
- 15:43Speaker 13: But just look at that, look at that extraordinary.
- 15:46Speaker 5: Thing he refers to himself.
- 15:48Speaker 13: When he was the government, the governor I think of
- 15:50Speaker 13: Nazaria Province for a time after the two thousand and
- 15:53Speaker 13: three war, he describes himself as being part of the
- 15:57Speaker 13: occupation of forces and then the g has turned president
- 16:03Speaker 13: as being anti occupation.
- 16:05Speaker 5: Now, if you.
- 16:06Speaker 13: Start from the premise that most people think occupation sounds
- 16:10Speaker 13: like a bad thing and being anti occupation sounds like
- 16:13Speaker 13: a good thing, that makes Rory Stewart, the self confessed.
- 16:17Speaker 5: Bad guy and the g head.
- 16:19Speaker 13: Is that just the kind of freedom fighter let's throw
- 16:23Speaker 13: off the evil oppressor colonialists type. What a way to
- 16:28Speaker 13: frame yourself, your country that war, and in particular, what
- 16:33Speaker 13: a wonderful way to frame the.
- 16:37Speaker 5: Man that you're interviewing. I mentioned on X this past week.
- 16:44Speaker 13: If Rory Stuart and Alistair Campbell had been interviewing somebody
- 16:48Speaker 13: who voted for Brexit in twenty sixteen, or somebody who
- 16:52Speaker 13: even voted for Trump in twenty twenty four, they would.
- 16:56Speaker 5: Have thrown everything at them. It would have been a
- 16:59Speaker 5: full donating.
- 17:00Speaker 13: Rage of hostile questions and hostile framings.
- 17:05Speaker 5: Of the interview subject.
- 17:07Speaker 13: But you have a Ghadist in front of you who's
- 17:10Speaker 13: just overtaken Syria, and it's all fawning and soft balls,
- 17:16Speaker 13: and it's really indicative of where a significant portion actually
- 17:24Speaker 13: of the sort of centrist political class still is. And
- 17:29Speaker 13: it's all about the usual thing, self loathing, self blame.
- 17:34Speaker 13: No one can do anything bad unless the West makes
- 17:37Speaker 13: them do so. And you know, then lo and behold,
- 17:41Speaker 13: the completely predictable happens, and the Ghadist who takes over
- 17:47Speaker 13: the Syrian government under his watch, of course, ethnic minorities.
- 17:53Speaker 13: It's usual story across the Middle Least. Wherever the Islamists move,
- 17:57Speaker 13: everyone else loses. Whether it's Christians, whether it's minority Islamic sects,
- 18:05Speaker 13: whether it's any other minority. Everybody loses when the Islamists advance.
- 18:11Speaker 13: And it's just so sad that, as it were in
- 18:14Speaker 13: Roy Stewart's terms, after all of these years, indeed, after
- 18:18Speaker 13: all of these years, we've learned so little.
- 18:24Speaker 3: So little, and learnt so little from similar experiences elsewhere.
- 18:28Speaker 2: That just gosh.
- 18:31Speaker 3: From someone who comes from the Middle East, I'm continuously
- 18:35Speaker 3: shocked by just how naive educated people can be on
- 18:39Speaker 3: that region. Now let's go to the UK.
- 18:42Speaker 2: We're reformed.
- 18:43Speaker 3: They've gone from recording spectacular pole numbers. There was a
- 18:47Speaker 3: pole where they were leading everybody. They were leading the
- 18:51Speaker 3: Tories in every national poll at one stage. But now
- 18:54Speaker 3: they're in the midst of this damaging internal row between
- 18:57Speaker 3: Nigel Farage and Rubert law Law Douglas. Can they recover
- 19:02Speaker 3: from this? Can they be the dominant Conservative force in
- 19:06Speaker 3: the UK? And what is this clash.
- 19:09Speaker 2: All about is just a matter of egos.
- 19:13Speaker 13: It's actually a little early to say you're right, Reform
- 19:17Speaker 13: has been pulling extraordinarily well in recent weeks. And as
- 19:22Speaker 13: I see it, there's always in small parties, you know,
- 19:28Speaker 13: new parties, there's always a lot of churn and turmoil
- 19:32Speaker 13: and actually saying the Spectator this week, you know it
- 19:35Speaker 13: sort of it requires quite a microscope sometimes to get
- 19:39Speaker 13: under what's actually going on in such internal rows on
- 19:43Speaker 13: the right as on the left. But from what I
- 19:46Speaker 13: can see, it actually boils down for once to an
- 19:50Speaker 13: issue of policy and not of personalities. Nigel Fara seems
- 19:56Speaker 13: to have been making a grab for the moderate center
- 20:00Speaker 13: of politics, whilst Rupert Lowe has been going in a
- 20:06Speaker 13: different direction. And Rupert Lowe has been going very hard
- 20:10Speaker 13: actually in Parliament and on social media and someone about
- 20:14Speaker 13: issues like the deportation of illegal migrants in the UK.
- 20:19Speaker 13: Now Nigel Farage has been reacting to these statements of
- 20:23Speaker 13: Rupert Lowe's by increasingly, it seems, giving interviews in which
- 20:27Speaker 13: he says that it's just not possible to deport all
- 20:31Speaker 13: of the illegal migrants who are in the UK and
- 20:33Speaker 13: he's not going to get into that discussion. I think
- 20:36Speaker 13: that is a very very interesting difference. As I say,
- 20:40Speaker 13: maybe Farage is simply trying to tack to the political center,
- 20:44Speaker 13: and maybe Rupert Lowe is trying to appeal more to
- 20:47Speaker 13: the right. Maybe they're both saying what they just actually think.
- 20:51Speaker 13: But it is a very very interesting disagreement because to
- 20:57Speaker 13: my mind, if you say we have perhaps millions of
- 21:01Speaker 13: people in the country illegally, many of whom have been
- 21:04Speaker 13: carrying out acts of criminality, all of whom carried out
- 21:07Speaker 13: an act of criminality by breaking into the country illegally,
- 21:11Speaker 13: then they should be made to leave. It seems to
- 21:15Speaker 13: me that's a perfectly reasonable policy. Night or Farage is
- 21:18Speaker 13: clearly terrified of the policy or of saying that, and.
- 21:22Speaker 5: So instead he's saying, well, you know, it just can't
- 21:24Speaker 5: be done.
- 21:25Speaker 13: I think there's not much point of a party of
- 21:28Speaker 13: the right, particular one to the right of the Conservatives,
- 21:30Speaker 13: that simply says we're going to sit back and not
- 21:32Speaker 13: do anything about the existential threats to our country. So
- 21:36Speaker 13: I think it is actually beyond personalities for once, there's
- 21:39Speaker 13: a serious rift here on the right, and it's going
- 21:42Speaker 13: to be very interesting to see because either Reform can
- 21:46Speaker 13: continue to be a party where people who are opposed
- 21:50Speaker 13: to the mainstream narrative recent decades can put their trust
- 21:54Speaker 13: or it isn't and it falls apart, as so many
- 21:56Speaker 13: small parties have before.
- 22:00Speaker 2: Yes, it needs to decide where it stands on that issue.
- 22:03Speaker 3: That is an important one. And got to say I'm
- 22:05Speaker 3: pretty surprised by Nigel Faraja's.
- 22:08Speaker 2: Stance on that.
- 22:09Speaker 3: Now I mentioned the Guardian newspaper. They've made a big
- 22:12Speaker 3: song in dance about leaving X. They said that was
- 22:17Speaker 3: because the platform was full of disinformation and misinformation. Well
- 22:22Speaker 3: it's the Guardian that has had to issue a fullsome
- 22:25Speaker 3: apology for disinformation misinformation. The apology has been to you, Douglas,
- 22:31Speaker 3: and from what I understand, a big fat check as well,
- 22:34Speaker 3: because they falsely accused you of supporting violent racist attacks
- 22:39Speaker 3: during anti immigration protests in the UK last year.
- 22:43Speaker 2: Tell me about this.
- 22:44Speaker 3: Case, and just before you do, if I could just
- 22:47Speaker 3: read from one of the core documents, this is about
- 22:49Speaker 3: as comprehensive an apology as one could find. The defendant,
- 22:54Speaker 3: through me apologizes unreservedly to mister Murray and it's pleased
- 22:59Speaker 3: to set the records straight. It acknowledges that the allegations
- 23:02Speaker 3: were false and has agreed to pay substantial damages Douglas,
- 23:08Speaker 3: congratulations on the victory.
- 23:10Speaker 2: How did this come about, Well, it came.
- 23:13Speaker 13: About because the journalists in question, a man called Kennan Mallick,
- 23:20Speaker 13: wrote an article last summer that a very heated and
- 23:24Speaker 13: worrying time in the UK, which simply lied about me,
- 23:28Speaker 13: simply spread falsehoods about me. And you know, if you're
- 23:33Speaker 13: in any kind of public life, you have to get
- 23:36Speaker 13: used to quite a lot of rough and tumble, and
- 23:40Speaker 13: you know, when you think of reaching for the lawyers,
- 23:44Speaker 13: then it's you know, usually quite quite it's quite rare.
- 23:48Speaker 13: I think that people, actually, certainly people like me, feel
- 23:50Speaker 13: the need to do that. But on this occasion, the
- 23:54Speaker 13: colu that the Observer published was so gratuitously false and untrue,
- 23:59Speaker 13: and so libelous and damaging actually that I decided I
- 24:06Speaker 13: had to take action.
- 24:08Speaker 2: I'm no fan of.
- 24:09Speaker 5: The Guardian newspaper group.
- 24:11Speaker 13: I think that they have whilst they pretend that they
- 24:14Speaker 13: are the sort of sole arbiters of what is true,
- 24:17Speaker 13: I think they spread an awful amount of a falsehood.
- 24:20Speaker 13: But this was so flagrantly false and demonstrably provably false
- 24:25Speaker 13: that I did take action, and they tried to defend
- 24:29Speaker 13: themselves a bit, but it was completely impossible for them
- 24:32Speaker 13: to defend the sloppy journalists Ken and Mallik and his
- 24:36Speaker 13: incredibly sloppy and retuperative journalism. And yes they had to
- 24:41Speaker 13: make a full apology as you saw at the court
- 24:45Speaker 13: in London this week fromis not to repeat the charges
- 24:50Speaker 13: and pay what they called substantial damages as well as
- 24:54Speaker 13: legal costs. I just think it's very important that people
- 24:58Speaker 13: remember that it, you know, to use a phrase that
- 25:02Speaker 13: the Guardian is fond of.
- 25:05Speaker 5: A comment is free, card is free.
- 25:09Speaker 13: But facts should be sacred and it's not the case
- 25:14Speaker 13: that writers for the Guardian newspaper group should simply be
- 25:17Speaker 13: allowed to make up things, make up facts, lie, falsify
- 25:22Speaker 13: information and get away with it. So I'm very pleased
- 25:26Speaker 13: that for once the Observer the Guardian newspaper group have
- 25:31Speaker 13: been held to rights.
- 25:35Speaker 5: I wish you would happen more often.
- 25:36Speaker 3: Frankly, congratulations from everyone in Australia. I'll speak on behalf
- 25:43Speaker 3: of the country. Douglas Murray, thank you so much for
- 25:45Speaker 3: your time tonight.
- 25:47Speaker 5: It's a great pleasure.
- 25:48Speaker 2: Thank you still to come.
- 25:50Speaker 3: Lefty's losing Aird plus which government department is busy treading
- 25:56Speaker 3: document The Lights from the US with patilla u La
- 25:59Speaker 3: saga On. You're watching the Rider Pannehy Show and it's
- 26:11Speaker 3: time for lefties losing it.
- 26:13Speaker 2: Let's watch this maniac.
- 26:15Speaker 3: Who brought himself a beautiful Tesla just to destroy it.
- 26:19Speaker 3: I'm sure they'll show Elon Musk. One thing you can
- 26:23Speaker 3: say about the Model left than the sharpest tools in
- 26:26Speaker 3: the shed.
- 26:27Speaker 8: Armed with a pickaxe and sledgehammer in Seattle Sodo neighborhood,
- 26:32Speaker 8: these two fellas went to town on this tesla. The
- 26:35Speaker 8: car was left in shambles with shattered windows, massive punctures,
- 26:39Speaker 8: and tons of anti Elon Musk graffiti.
- 26:41Speaker 13: We don't like what Elon Musk is doing.
- 26:44Speaker 8: This man would only give me his first name, Greg,
- 26:46Speaker 8: Greg Greg sorry, but says he actually owns the White Models.
- 26:50Speaker 9: I bought it just to destroy it.
- 26:52Speaker 8: And Greg says he coordinated the stunt with his friends
- 26:55Speaker 8: because he doesn't like Musk.
- 26:57Speaker 2: Just wacky, wacky wacky.
- 26:59Speaker 3: Can you imagine spending all that money just to destroy
- 27:02Speaker 3: a car. Elon still gets the profits from that sale,
- 27:06Speaker 3: So well done. Time to check in with some young
- 27:10Speaker 3: folk about the state of the nation. Let's see if
- 27:13Speaker 3: they can articulate their opposition to Donald Trump.
- 27:17Speaker 13: Do you think that President Trump is making America great again?
- 27:19Speaker 5: Or is he making it worse?
- 27:20Speaker 9: No word?
- 27:25Speaker 5: What is one specific thing that is making America worse?
- 27:28Speaker 14: Well, there's a lot of things that's good.
- 27:32Speaker 7: I'm looking for one.
- 27:34Speaker 11: Increasing funding for the Agriculture Department, DEI training.
- 27:37Speaker 3: Decreasing funding for agriculture DEI programs. Fantastic choice there, And sadly,
- 27:44Speaker 3: the college kids disgracing themselves with absurd of statements are
- 27:48Speaker 3: all too common these days. Listen here as these supposedly
- 27:52Speaker 3: well educated young adults talk about their favorite revolutions, and
- 27:58Speaker 3: they pick ones. Where is the seize power and destroyed
- 28:02Speaker 3: women's rights, the rights of religious mind hoorities.
- 28:06Speaker 2: This is low key terrifying.
- 28:08Speaker 15: I'll be asking members what their favorite revolutions are.
- 28:10Speaker 11: I think my favorite revolutions the Iranian Revolution. I think
- 28:13Speaker 11: it's really cool. How work?
- 28:14Speaker 15: What is your favorite revolution Afghanistan twenty twenty two because
- 28:18Speaker 15: it defeated American imperialism, works and.
- 28:20Speaker 3: For and watch as this next simpleton explains that she'd
- 28:24Speaker 3: rather go to Palestine than Israel, despite the fact that
- 28:29Speaker 3: she's gay.
- 28:30Speaker 1: Are you queer?
- 28:31Speaker 5: Yes?
- 28:32Speaker 16: Would you go to Israel?
- 28:33Speaker 2: I've got to palifying.
- 28:35Speaker 11: Wait, but if you had the palastin, you'd be thrown
- 28:37Speaker 11: off of a building for being gay. Do you love Palestine?
- 28:40Speaker 1: Yeah?
- 28:40Speaker 16: Why not?
- 28:41Speaker 2: And though you wouldn't be allowed to be yourself there.
- 28:44Speaker 11: I feel like they're not supposed to judge, even if
- 28:47Speaker 11: they have a set mindset. It is actually very haram
- 28:50Speaker 11: in the Muslim culture for them to judge.
- 28:53Speaker 2: They're not supposed to judge.
- 28:55Speaker 3: It's haram to judge or bless so dangerously delusional to
- 29:00Speaker 3: Cardiff University.
- 29:02Speaker 2: Now where a student running.
- 29:03Speaker 3: For student president well started to run on a communist
- 29:08Speaker 3: platform pushing the agenda of the ideology that has slaughtered,
- 29:13Speaker 3: starved millions of people. The hammer and sickles should be
- 29:17Speaker 3: as unacceptable as the swastika and other Nazi symbols, both
- 29:22Speaker 3: of vile ideologies. Something these fools seem incapable of appreciating.
- 29:28Speaker 3: This is what happens when you are completely ignorant of history.
- 29:32Speaker 2: I'm there with.
- 29:33Speaker 15: Communist students for across the world and the West to
- 29:35Speaker 15: officially launch the start of the campaign. Where are we
- 29:38Speaker 15: run in for student union president at Cardiff University. I'm
- 29:41Speaker 15: running the communist program, so our first demand is key
- 29:45Speaker 15: capitalism off campus. This means an end to the margetization,
- 29:49Speaker 15: the privatization of education.
- 29:51Speaker 5: Our second demand.
- 29:52Speaker 2: Is no more cuts, open the books.
- 29:55Speaker 15: If management says there's no money, then we seek through it.
- 29:58Speaker 15: The final demand is for student of the university.
- 30:02Speaker 2: Let's have a musical interlude.
- 30:04Speaker 12: Now.
- 30:05Speaker 2: We brought you this bit of non.
- 30:06Speaker 3: Binary musical genius a couple of weeks ago.
- 30:11Speaker 11: Energy Energy, Energy, Well, it seems the lefties losing a
- 30:24Speaker 11: promotion is seeing this absolute banger gain renewed popularity.
- 30:28Speaker 3: Everyone wants they their energy.
- 30:35Speaker 9: Now.
- 30:46Speaker 3: Bernie Sanders, that old socialist himself, thought it was appropriate
- 30:50Speaker 3: to have this performer at a recent event. We've naturally
- 30:55Speaker 3: had to bleep out well most of the grotesque lyrics.
- 31:03Speaker 3: Name Now, we are seeing violent protests in New York
- 31:11Speaker 3: against the Trump administration's crackdown on illegal immigration and the
- 31:16Speaker 3: recent detention of anti Israeli, anti Western civilization activist and
- 31:21Speaker 3: Columbia University student Mammood Khalil, who authorities intended to deport.
- 31:27Speaker 6: And the ferals don't like it.
- 31:45Speaker 3: Now, among those lefties losing it is a man who
- 31:48Speaker 3: wants to be the next mayor of New York, Zoran
- 31:52Speaker 3: Mamdani and here he is screaming at borders. Tom Homan,
- 32:10Speaker 3: let's bring in journalists and author Batiola Sagon Battia. This
- 32:14Speaker 3: guy is an elected official and assemblyman and he's carrying
- 32:18Speaker 3: on like this.
- 32:20Speaker 14: Unfortunately, a lot of American politics right now is elected
- 32:25Speaker 14: officials trying to get their Twitter moment. We're seeing Twitter
- 32:28Speaker 14: politics everywhere where. People just want that clip so that
- 32:32Speaker 14: they can show their online audience Look at me, Look
- 32:37Speaker 14: at what I accomplished. Look I'm out there defending these
- 32:40Speaker 14: principles and so forth, when honestly, this stuff is only
- 32:45Speaker 14: popular on social media. The American people overwhelmingly chose Donald
- 32:49Speaker 14: Trump because he promised to get rid of the no
- 32:53Speaker 14: good necks. He promised to get rid of criminals, violent
- 32:57Speaker 14: criminals who had come here illegally, and he's living up
- 33:00Speaker 14: to that promise every single day. Tom Holman is a
- 33:03Speaker 14: real hero. This is a person who waited his whole
- 33:06Speaker 14: life for this job, and he's doing it with a
- 33:09Speaker 14: smile on his face, and he absolutely loves it rita.
- 33:13Speaker 14: When the lefties lose it on him, he talks about
- 33:16Speaker 14: it all the time. He's like, bring it on. I'm
- 33:18Speaker 14: going to service the American people and so you have
- 33:21Speaker 14: a real split screen here.
- 33:24Speaker 2: Between these lefty politicians.
- 33:26Speaker 14: Catering to an online audience which is minuscule in real life,
- 33:31Speaker 14: and then of course the MAGA movement, which is representing
- 33:33Speaker 14: where the vast majority of Americans are at.
- 33:38Speaker 3: Now, we've got plenty more serious issues to discuss, but
- 33:41Speaker 3: let's just have a little bit of fun here, and
- 33:44Speaker 3: we've got more profia that Donald Trump is the funniest
- 33:47Speaker 3: president we've ever had ever watching he as the Irish
- 33:52Speaker 3: Prime Minister. Prime Minister Martin is asked about Rosi o'donald
- 33:57Speaker 3: moving to Island. She has fled America, another win for
- 34:00Speaker 3: the Trump administration.
- 34:01Speaker 2: Watched this exchange is known.
- 34:04Speaker 16: For very happy, fun loving people. Great out your beginning
- 34:08Speaker 16: in this room right now that I've met. Why in
- 34:11Speaker 16: the world would you let Rosie or Donald move to Ireland?
- 34:14Speaker 16: Did you just do a lower your happiness?
- 34:16Speaker 9: Love? Thank you?
- 34:17Speaker 15: I like that question.
- 34:23Speaker 4: Do you know who she is?
- 34:25Speaker 5: To get back her up, to get better up?
- 34:30Speaker 3: I just love this entire story, the way the clash
- 34:35Speaker 3: started years ago. I remember Donald Trump being questioned about
- 34:40Speaker 3: his comments about Rosie o'donald when he was running in
- 34:42Speaker 3: twenty and sixteen and now it ends with her fleeing
- 34:46Speaker 3: the country and the President making jokes about it in
- 34:50Speaker 3: the Oval office.
- 34:52Speaker 14: It was such a great Trump moment because you know,
- 34:55Speaker 14: when he first like understood what the question was, there
- 34:58Speaker 14: was a moment where he was like quite right, and
- 35:01Speaker 14: then he was like, great.
- 35:02Speaker 5: Question, I love that question.
- 35:03Speaker 14: Ye Like, there was a moment where he was pretending
- 35:05Speaker 14: to take it like totally, totally seriously. He has an
- 35:08Speaker 14: amazing sense of humor, and you know, I really do
- 35:11Speaker 14: think that even a lot of people who didn't vote
- 35:12Speaker 14: for him are finally coming around and admitting this guy
- 35:15Speaker 14: is hilarious. He knows how to work a room. His
- 35:19Speaker 14: comedic timing is impeccable, and it is so great. I mean,
- 35:23Speaker 14: this is how you win a feud, right, You make
- 35:26Speaker 14: the other person leave the greatest country on her.
- 35:30Speaker 3: Well, you know what, You've got to give us some
- 35:32Speaker 3: props because at least she followed through with what she
- 35:35Speaker 3: said she was going to do. We've had so many
- 35:37Speaker 3: of these celebrities and activists who have threatened to leave
- 35:41Speaker 3: as if anyone would give a.
- 35:43Speaker 2: Damn, but they don't.
- 35:45Speaker 3: She actually followed through, So I think, you know, it's
- 35:48Speaker 3: a win win for the country, and perhaps for Rosie
- 35:50Speaker 3: as well.
- 35:51Speaker 2: Maybe she'll be happier in Ireland. I don't know.
- 35:53Speaker 3: I think what she discovers what a socially conservative country
- 35:56Speaker 3: is that abortion is only available on demand in the
- 36:00Speaker 3: first trimester, even stricter than Mississippi Batia. So once she
- 36:06Speaker 3: learned some of those things, she might start becoming an
- 36:09Speaker 3: activist in Ireland. Now this story is disturbing. This is
- 36:13Speaker 3: from Politico. They are reporting that a senior official at
- 36:17Speaker 3: us AID instructed the agency staff to convene at the
- 36:22Speaker 3: former headquarters for an all day group effort to destroy documents.
- 36:28Speaker 3: An email sent to us aids Acting executive director Eric
- 36:32Speaker 3: carr It says, shred as many documents first and reserve
- 36:37Speaker 3: the burn bags for when the shredder becomes unavailable or
- 36:41Speaker 3: needs a break.
- 36:43Speaker 2: What is going on? And is Pam Bondi doing anything
- 36:47Speaker 2: about this?
- 36:49Speaker 14: It's so amazing. I mean, it really makes you wonder
- 36:52Speaker 14: what were they up to there in addition to the
- 36:54Speaker 14: waste frighten abuse that's been uncovered by Elon Musk. You know,
- 36:59Speaker 14: it's great because at this point Secretary of State Marco
- 37:02Speaker 14: Rubio has now taken control of USAID. He's gone through
- 37:06Speaker 14: all of the programs. They asked many of them, and
- 37:09Speaker 14: then they kept the ones that they felt reflected our
- 37:12Speaker 14: values globally. And I think that was really the right approach.
- 37:17Speaker 14: There's no greater patriot than Mark or Rubio. He knows
- 37:19Speaker 14: exactly what he's doing, but he also brings a real
- 37:21Speaker 14: maturity to the role, and so I'm sure he will
- 37:24Speaker 14: get to the bottom of whatever nonsense and nefariousness is
- 37:27Speaker 14: happening there.
- 37:30Speaker 6: Now.
- 37:30Speaker 3: Just quickly on the Canadians, they seem to have delusions
- 37:34Speaker 3: of grandeur. They've tariffs on American products, but they feel
- 37:38Speaker 3: it's almost an act of war if their products are
- 37:42Speaker 3: similarly tariffed.
- 37:44Speaker 2: What's the lightest on this stat.
- 37:48Speaker 14: So President Trump has been using tariffs in three very
- 37:51Speaker 14: important ways. He's been using them in order to achieve
- 37:54Speaker 14: other goals, like, for example, limiting the number of illegal
- 37:58Speaker 14: immigrants crossing from Mexico or the amount of fentanyl that's
- 38:02Speaker 14: entering the country and is so deadly to so many Americans.
- 38:05Speaker 14: That's the first goal. The second goal is to generate revenue.
- 38:08Speaker 14: He wants to make money from these tariffs. And the
- 38:12Speaker 14: third is President Trump absolutely loathes when the United States
- 38:17Speaker 14: is treated like a patsy, and that is basically what
- 38:21Speaker 14: we have in our trade relations with many many countries
- 38:25Speaker 14: whose tariffs on us are so much higher than our
- 38:28Speaker 14: tariffs on them. It's not fair. There's a fundamental feeling
- 38:32Speaker 14: of this is unfair. If we are importing huge number
- 38:37Speaker 14: amounts of stealing aluminum from Canada and they're putting tariffs
- 38:40Speaker 14: on our steal and aluminum going into Canada, that's not fair.
- 38:44Speaker 14: And so I think what President Trump wants is to
- 38:46Speaker 14: use tariffs in all of these ways to have a
- 38:49Speaker 14: more equitable relationship, trade relationship that prioritizes Americans. I'll just
- 38:55Speaker 14: make one more quick point on this. You know, for
- 38:58Speaker 14: a generation, we have seen the downward mobility of America's
- 39:03Speaker 14: working class as we shifted from an economy based in
- 39:06Speaker 14: manufacturing to an economy whose largest share is in finance,
- 39:11Speaker 14: meaning that people who own a lot of assets are
- 39:15Speaker 14: very wealthy and working class people are poor. That is unacceptable,
- 39:19Speaker 14: and President Trump is saying this will not stand. I
- 39:23Speaker 14: want a strong manufacturing base because I want the hardest
- 39:26Speaker 14: working Americans to have a fair shot at the American dream.
- 39:30Speaker 14: And what we're seeing in the stock market is Wall
- 39:32Speaker 14: Street absolutely losing it that for the first time in
- 39:37Speaker 14: sixty years, the president is not on his knees servicing them,
- 39:42Speaker 14: but wants labor to have a fair shot. This is
- 39:46Speaker 14: an absolutely revolutionary president. And of course the elites are
- 39:50Speaker 14: going crazy. Wall Street is losing it this time, Rita,
- 39:53Speaker 14: and they need to hold the line and stop undermining
- 39:56Speaker 14: our president.
- 39:59Speaker 2: Wow.
- 40:00Speaker 3: I think yeah, wall Street knew this was coming because
- 40:05Speaker 3: everything he is doing he said he was going to
- 40:07Speaker 3: do throughout the election campaign and before, so there are
- 40:11Speaker 3: no surprises here. I think the only surprise is that
- 40:14Speaker 3: it's actually following through with those promises, because as we
- 40:18Speaker 3: know with politicians, sometimes.
- 40:19Speaker 2: They can promise the world and not deliver.
- 40:22Speaker 3: But thus far, whatever you think of Donald Trump, he
- 40:25Speaker 3: has been implementing what he said he'll do and.
- 40:29Speaker 2: We're going to see the results.
- 40:31Speaker 3: But Tia, you personally caused a bit of a stir
- 40:34Speaker 3: online in recent days coming out very strongly against Andrew
- 40:40Speaker 3: and Tristan Tate, who.
- 40:42Speaker 2: Are huge online figures and.
- 40:47Speaker 3: Seen as center right conservative influences these days. They're certainly
- 40:51Speaker 3: outspoken on a range of political social issues. Tell me
- 40:56Speaker 3: why you say Andrew Tate and his brother should be
- 41:00Speaker 3: owned by Conservatives.
- 41:02Speaker 2: Shouldn't they center right be a broad church.
- 41:07Speaker 14: It absolutely should be. It should be broad enough to
- 41:10Speaker 14: include beautiful, loving, same sex couples who are raising children
- 41:14Speaker 14: in a loving religious or just middle class home with
- 41:18Speaker 14: two parents. Sure, we should have a broad tent. Andrew Taitough,
- 41:23Speaker 14: as far as I can tell, agrees with the left.
- 41:25Speaker 14: He thinks that what it means to be a man
- 41:28Speaker 14: is to beat up women. I mean, that's the left position, right,
- 41:30Speaker 14: is that masculinity itself is a crime. Masculinity itself is violence. Right,
- 41:36Speaker 14: that's what the left thinks, and that's what he thinks.
- 41:38Speaker 14: He says, he's a real man, and he thinks that
- 41:40Speaker 14: somehow it's not masculine to protect women. Suppoor, women have
- 41:45Speaker 14: a family, raised children. I mean, what it means to
- 41:48Speaker 14: be a man is to protect and defend. That's what
- 41:51Speaker 14: the testosterone is for. And this is a man who
- 41:54Speaker 14: uses his testosterone to beat up the vulnerable and then
- 41:57Speaker 14: brag about it. It's utterly disgusting. And I think it
- 42:00Speaker 14: is so cool that so many conservatives have done what
- 42:04Speaker 14: the left would never do to one of their own,
- 42:07Speaker 14: and they have simply said, this is not part of
- 42:09Speaker 14: our movement. This goes too far. This is exactly where
- 42:12Speaker 14: the red line is and we don't want you.
- 42:14Speaker 2: Well, Battia.
- 42:15Speaker 3: Ronda Santis, the Florida governor is certainly on your side
- 42:19Speaker 3: here has said the Tate Brothers are not welcome in Florida.
- 42:23Speaker 2: Thank you so much for your time tonight.
- 42:25Speaker 14: Thank you so much, Rita, God bless you.
- 42:27Speaker 2: Still to come.
- 42:28Speaker 3: A much loved pop star is under attack for praising
- 42:31Speaker 3: Tucker Carlson. Kinsey Schofel would join us with the details.
- 42:45Speaker 3: Welcome back joining me now, celebrity and royal commentator Kinsey Schofield. Kinsey,
- 42:50Speaker 3: The data is in and it's bad news for Megan
- 42:53Speaker 3: Markle and her new reality series, which was viewed by
- 42:57Speaker 3: just five hundred and twenty six thousand household in the
- 43:00Speaker 3: first five days it was available on Netflix. You compare
- 43:04Speaker 3: that to the two point one million viewers that the
- 43:08Speaker 3: Sussex's twenty twenty two documentary Harry and Meghan got for
- 43:12Speaker 3: the same period, and even that figure wasn't great. We've
- 43:16Speaker 3: got to say with love, Meghan is been widely panned
- 43:21Speaker 3: and mocked and we're now even seeing parodies.
- 43:24Speaker 16: Always pick fresh flowers right outside your window if you
- 43:27Speaker 16: have a garden outside.
- 43:28Speaker 5: You don't. I made these yesterday.
- 43:31Speaker 1: I just love feeding people.
- 43:33Speaker 5: I almost forgot a little flower dust Kinsey.
- 43:37Speaker 3: We can only hope season two will have more compelling content.
- 43:43Speaker 10: Reader That's Lefty is losing It gets more hits than
- 43:47Speaker 10: that in like the first half an hour, and it's uploaded.
- 43:51Speaker 5: Those are not three.
- 43:52Speaker 10: Numbers for Meghan Markel and I do think that Netflix
- 43:55Speaker 10: has to be pulling their hair out right now thinking
- 43:57Speaker 10: about all of the money that they've invested in Pair
- 44:00Speaker 10: and what's the return on investmentment, a lot of negative press,
- 44:04Speaker 10: and alienating themselves from relationships that maybe they could have
- 44:09Speaker 10: had with the real working royals who are producing documentaries
- 44:13Speaker 10: like Queen Camilla's domestic violence documentaries and Prince William's homelessness documentaries.
- 44:18Speaker 10: I feel like they really made a mistake here and
- 44:21Speaker 10: picked the wrong horse.
- 44:25Speaker 3: Yes, and they keep picking the wrong horse or horses
- 44:28Speaker 3: when it comes to Harry and Meghan and writing them
- 44:32Speaker 3: these big fat checks and then being shocked when the
- 44:35Speaker 3: returns aren't there. Disney is having its own problems. They're
- 44:40Speaker 3: finally releasing the latest adaptation of Snow White, but they're
- 44:45Speaker 3: scaling back the Hollywood premiere of the film, Kinsey, why.
- 44:49Speaker 10: Is that Because Rachel Zegler is a pr nightmare. Every
- 44:55Speaker 10: time she opens her mouth, it's crisis mode. When it
- 44:58Speaker 10: comes to Disney having to backtrack, she's you know, she
- 45:01Speaker 10: talks about how this isn't a fairy tale about falling
- 45:04Speaker 10: in love with the prince. This is a fairy tale
- 45:06Speaker 10: about fighting your own battles. She's so woke. They've gone
- 45:10Speaker 10: broke that basically, I don't even know if they can
- 45:13Speaker 10: afford the big premiere this time. But you've seen Disney
- 45:16Speaker 10: really scaling back on some of the Walk ideology that
- 45:20Speaker 10: they'd come to accept over the last few years.
- 45:23Speaker 9: Now.
- 45:24Speaker 3: Actress and songstress Gwen Stefani has copped a tsunami of
- 45:29Speaker 3: hate because she reposted an interview featuring Tucker Carlson on
- 45:34Speaker 3: X and praised it for its enlightening, intelligent, beautiful content.
- 45:40Speaker 3: The left really are just so intolerant and closed minded, Kinsey.
- 45:45Speaker 3: They think they own celebrities, and if they ever deviate
- 45:49Speaker 3: from a leftists viewpoint, they are mercilessly attacked. Some of
- 45:53Speaker 3: the comments she's getting are just unhinged.
- 45:57Speaker 10: They are, and she's complimenting a conversation about christ I mean,
- 46:01Speaker 10: she's complimenting a conversation about religion, a beautiful conversation about God,
- 46:07Speaker 10: and she's being torn apart. And you and I both
- 46:09Speaker 10: know that the ultimate objective is to scare her into
- 46:12Speaker 10: shutting up. So you know, she's being persecuted basically over religion.
- 46:17Speaker 10: I would expect more in today's society, But you know,
- 46:20Speaker 10: what can she do other than hope that people I
- 46:23Speaker 10: guess will take up for her.
- 46:27Speaker 3: Well, I think it's so right theout hoping to silence
- 46:30Speaker 3: her if she has any other ideas in this area.
- 46:33Speaker 3: But I think it's also a warning to every other
- 46:36Speaker 3: high profile person, whether they're a singer or an athlete
- 46:39Speaker 3: in the media somehow to not say anything that is
- 46:45Speaker 3: anything other than leftist opinion. If you're going to say
- 46:47Speaker 3: anything about social issues or political issues, it better be
- 46:51Speaker 3: from the left or you're going to cop this treatment.
- 46:54Speaker 3: I bet you there will be a multitude of articles
- 46:57Speaker 3: bagging her as well. Just wait and sane. They might
- 47:00Speaker 3: talk about it on Monday. Now, Taylor Swift has gone
- 47:04Speaker 3: to ground. A source has told The Daily Mouth that
- 47:06Speaker 3: the pop star is in hiding after being dragged into
- 47:10Speaker 3: Blake Lively's legal drama with Justin Baldoni, and that she
- 47:15Speaker 3: isn't really talking to any of her.
- 47:17Speaker 2: Friends at the moment. Surely this isn't the case.
- 47:19Speaker 3: Of course, it's unpleasant for her to be dragged into
- 47:22Speaker 3: this legal stash. It seems like she had very little
- 47:26Speaker 3: to do with it, but to be in hiding that
- 47:30Speaker 3: must be a bit of hyperbole.
- 47:32Speaker 10: Well, you know, Taylor and Travis are used to peacocking.
- 47:36Speaker 10: I do think it's surprising that we haven't seen them
- 47:38Speaker 10: for a for a few days, a few weeks at least.
- 47:41Speaker 10: I do think that in this scenario, Taylor was traumatized
- 47:45Speaker 10: by the Kim and Kanye fight and she sees similarities
- 47:48Speaker 10: in the Blake and Justin drama and doesn't want to
- 47:51Speaker 10: be anywhere near it. And there are interviews where like
- 47:56Speaker 10: Justin Baldoni says, yeah, she helped me cast young Blake.
- 47:59Speaker 10: I do think she had more to do with this
- 48:01Speaker 10: production than she's let on. And this is not a
- 48:04Speaker 10: fight you want to be in the middle.
- 48:05Speaker 3: Of, no, especially when it's your side that's losing. And
- 48:11Speaker 3: Blake Lively is losing this fight inspectacular fashion.
- 48:16Speaker 2: And for a while they look like she turned things around.
- 48:19Speaker 3: Now, before you go We've got to talk a little
- 48:21Speaker 3: bit about Beyonce. Tickets for her upcoming Cowboy Carter tour
- 48:27Speaker 3: are apparently not selling as well as one would expect.
- 48:30Speaker 3: Many fans are complaining that the prices are just too high,
- 48:35Speaker 3: and Beyonce has even been accused of being greedy.
- 48:40Speaker 10: I am surprised that the amount of tickets that are
- 48:42Speaker 10: available even here in Los Angeles, because Los Angeles is
- 48:45Speaker 10: like you go just because you want to see the
- 48:46Speaker 10: other Remember Megan Markle tworking at the Beyonce concert. You
- 48:49Speaker 10: know you're going to see other celebrities there. But I
- 48:51Speaker 10: think it's the country music that's not attracting people. Do
- 48:55Speaker 10: you want to pay that much money and not get well.
- 48:57Speaker 3: Well, it's not really country music, girl, I know it's
- 49:00Speaker 3: not country music, can we I know she won Country
- 49:03Speaker 3: Album of the Year or whatever and that was a travesty.
- 49:07Speaker 2: But whatever you think about that music, whether.
- 49:09Speaker 3: You love it, you hate it, you're indifferent to it,
- 49:12Speaker 3: let's stop calling it country because she's about as country
- 49:15Speaker 3: as I am.
- 49:16Speaker 2: Blonde.
- 49:17Speaker 3: Kinsey Schofield, always a pleasure. Thanks for your time tonight,
- 49:21Speaker 3: and that's it from me. I'll see you at nine
- 49:23Speaker 3: pm tomorrow Night. For Left, he's losing it up. Next
- 49:27Speaker 3: is Newsnight,
