0:09
Speaker 2: Good evening and welcome to the Rita Panehy Show.
0:11
Speaker 3: Coming up tonight, more on the fallout from Pauline Hansen's
0:15
Speaker 3: burker stunt in the Senate. Patrick Carlin and Colleen Harken
0:19
Speaker 3: will be here to cover the day's top headlines. Greta
0:22
Speaker 3: Thunberg banned from Venice after shar other protests died its
0:26
Speaker 3: famous Canal Green Kosher Gator will cover that and other
0:30
Speaker 3: big international headlines. Armi Horowitz will be here with the
0:34
Speaker 3: latest from the US, including anti Ice activists attacking businesses
0:39
Speaker 3: that cooperate with enforcement agency.
0:42
Speaker 2: And Alex Stein will join me to discuss the latest
0:45
Speaker 2: debunked conspiracy theory and Left is Losing It features this racist.
0:51
Speaker 4: Wooman wait men are literally the single greatest threat to
0:58
Speaker 4: humans being fed, how clothed, having their basic needs. Wait
1:02
Speaker 4: Men are the greatest threat to that.
1:04
Speaker 3: But first, some drama in parliament yesterday was Senator Pauline
1:08
Speaker 3: Hanson suspended from the Senate for wearing a burker onto
1:13
Speaker 3: the floor of Parliament. The stunt came minutes after Santa
1:16
Speaker 3: Hanson was denied leave by the Government to table a
1:19
Speaker 3: bill that would see burker's and full face coverings banned.
1:23
Speaker 3: This is the same burker she wore in Parliament in
1:26
Speaker 3: twenty seventeen. The move drew criticism from many senators, including
1:31
Speaker 3: the Greens, Marine Ferruki and former Labor MP now independent
1:35
Speaker 3: for Team of Payment.
1:36
Speaker 2: But racism should not be the choice of the Senate.
1:41
Speaker 2: This is a racist.
1:42
Speaker 5: Senator, Senator displaying blend.
1:45
Speaker 6: Racism in resident.
1:47
Speaker 7: If this is about the dress code, she is disrespecting
1:51
Speaker 7: of faith. She is disrespecting the Muslims down there, Muslim Australians.
1:56
Speaker 7: It's absolutely unconstitutional. This need to be dealt with immediately
2:01
Speaker 7: before we proceed.
2:03
Speaker 3: The move also garnered meta attention overseas, with one British
2:06
Speaker 3: outlet calling Senator Hanson a far right politician.
2:10
Speaker 2: Pauline Hanson has also.
2:12
Speaker 3: Been suspended from the Senate for seven days, but she
2:15
Speaker 3: didn't seem too worried early today.
2:19
Speaker 1: I'm censured. Does it really worry me? No, it doesn't
2:26
Speaker 1: for seven days, not at all. I'll stand my ground
2:30
Speaker 1: and what I believe in I will continue to do so.
2:34
Speaker 3: Joining me now for more on This is News Corp
2:36
Speaker 3: Senior writer Patrick Carline and Institute of Public Affairs Research
2:40
Speaker 3: fellow Colleen Harkin.
2:41
Speaker 2: Patrick, I'll start with you.
2:44
Speaker 3: Why can't Pauline Hanson have this bill tabled?
2:47
Speaker 2: What is taboo about this topic?
2:50
Speaker 6: Well, I think every politician actually came out to bag
2:53
Speaker 6: her for this. It was never going to get up,
2:55
Speaker 6: but paul and Hanson did get exactly what she wanted.
2:58
Speaker 6: She's got attention brought to this issue, and ironically it
3:03
Speaker 6: was from the activist senators from Peruki, Payment and Thought
3:08
Speaker 6: who actually made it headlines by being so angry about it.
3:12
Speaker 6: I mean, you're still going to laugh at the irony
3:13
Speaker 6: of that, don't you.
3:14
Speaker 2: They did.
3:15
Speaker 3: Those MPs certainly had a go, but Colleen, so did
3:19
Speaker 3: labor and coalition MPs. Now, there are a number of
3:23
Speaker 3: countries around the world that have banned full face coverings.
3:27
Speaker 2: And we're not talking about backward countries.
3:29
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're talking about countries like France, Belgium, Denmark. Now,
3:34
Speaker 3: why can't we even discuss this issue here?
3:37
Speaker 8: My understanding is there are twenty four countries who have
3:40
Speaker 8: banned the burker. Look, we've seen a significant rise in
3:43
Speaker 8: support for one nation.
3:44
Speaker 2: I think this is part of the reason.
3:46
Speaker 8: Why is that paulin Hansen is prepared to have those
3:49
Speaker 8: hard conversations. We do need a national conversation debate about
3:52
Speaker 8: social cohesion, about integration and Australian values. And to your point, Patrick,
3:57
Speaker 8: it is the irony that the very people who wanted
4:00
Speaker 8: to squash it, the people who've given it the oxygen,
4:03
Speaker 8: you know, objecting to banning the burken it, they've banned
4:05
Speaker 8: pulling from wearing you know, it is that that is
4:08
Speaker 8: an irony.
4:09
Speaker 3: I think those images, though I know she's done it before,
4:12
Speaker 3: it it's exact same burker, she kept it in her
4:15
Speaker 3: office all these years, but it's just iconic, that image
4:19
Speaker 3: of her on the floor of the Parliament with the burker,
4:22
Speaker 3: with the stockings and the heels visible. I just think
4:29
Speaker 3: those images are going to remain for many years.
4:33
Speaker 6: It's creepy.
4:33
Speaker 2: It looks creepy, it looks, well, this is a thing.
4:36
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm someone who escaped from an Islamist country,
4:40
Speaker 3: and even in that Islamus country, burkers were not commonplace.
4:44
Speaker 3: But it is a tool of oppression. It is used
4:48
Speaker 3: to subjugate women. And the fact that we've got parliamentarians
4:53
Speaker 3: from all sides of politics running away from this discussion,
4:58
Speaker 3: not even having the discussion. Never mind the sick security issue,
5:01
Speaker 3: the women's rights issue, Colleen, where has that gone? Why
5:05
Speaker 3: are these women concerned about the fact that we've got
5:08
Speaker 3: women in this country who are subjucated even here, and
5:12
Speaker 3: they are forced to wear the burker or other full
5:14
Speaker 3: face coverings. It's a cultural imperative amongst some of them,
5:19
Speaker 3: and it is not commonplace. Most Muslim women do not
5:23
Speaker 3: wear burkers or nick abs or even hitch abs in
5:27
Speaker 3: the West.
5:27
Speaker 8: I actually think it's even a broader issue that women
5:30
Speaker 8: on the left typically don't support women. They talk about
5:34
Speaker 8: supporting women and women's rights and all this kind of stuff,
5:37
Speaker 8: But when we've seen what's happened to Senator Reynolds and
5:41
Speaker 8: what we've seen happened to Fiona Brown, I mean, where
5:43
Speaker 8: are the women supporting guests too, women that say so?
5:46
Speaker 8: Women on the left cry all of this women's rights,
5:49
Speaker 8: but when push comes to shove and their voice is required,
5:52
Speaker 8: they're often absent.
5:54
Speaker 3: And when it comes to the treatment of Muslim women
5:58
Speaker 3: in particular, that's when they're really go into hiding because
6:01
Speaker 3: they are just so terrified of having that debate. Now,
6:05
Speaker 3: Senator Payment doubled down on her criticism of Pauline Hanson
6:09
Speaker 3: after the Senate was suspended yesterday.
6:11
Speaker 7: This is what she had to say, Burker didn't raise
6:14
Speaker 7: your rent. Pauline knows that the Burker didn't cause the
6:18
Speaker 7: housing crisis. Working people of every background are being squeezed
6:24
Speaker 7: from all sides, and Pauline Hansen wants you to blame
6:28
Speaker 7: brown people for it.
6:29
Speaker 2: It's just a bizarre argument. Patrick.
6:31
Speaker 3: She's defending the Burker there, tying it to as if
6:36
Speaker 3: it's synonymous with being Muslim.
6:38
Speaker 2: It is not.
6:39
Speaker 3: And she's injecting race into issues that don't concern race.
6:45
Speaker 3: The housing issue there, she's doing precisely what she's accusing
6:49
Speaker 3: Pauline Hanson of doing, which is using race to further
6:52
Speaker 3: her political.
6:53
Speaker 6: Agenda, coating completely separate ideas and actually making a meal
6:58
Speaker 6: of it. I mean a lot of what Senator and
7:00
Speaker 6: have said in terms of Muslim rights and women's rights.
7:04
Speaker 6: Who really is oddously with the realities in these countries
7:07
Speaker 6: all over the world, and you sort of she strikes
7:10
Speaker 6: me as very young and very naive. It's not actually
7:13
Speaker 6: bringing anything to the conversation that actually drives it forward.
7:17
Speaker 3: This is typical of the left, though, to make everything
7:19
Speaker 3: about race. Muslims come from every shade under the sun.
7:24
Speaker 3: You got blonde Muslims, you have Asian Muslims, you've got
7:27
Speaker 3: black Muslims. It is not a race, It is a religion.
7:30
Speaker 3: And this isn't really about Muslims or Islam. It's about
7:34
Speaker 3: a fairly extreme interpretation, which is the full face coverings,
7:39
Speaker 3: which to me dehumanizes the women who wear them.
7:42
Speaker 2: You can't see them, you can't.
7:43
Speaker 3: React and share normal human interaction with them because they're
7:47
Speaker 3: hidden away from the world.
7:49
Speaker 8: Yeah, they're completely covered. I also noted Senator Payment accusing
7:53
Speaker 8: it of being anti against the Constitution, which, okay, crazy
7:58
Speaker 8: actually intended to say that, but it is what she said.
8:00
Speaker 8: It is in handside, now, you know. I mean this
8:03
Speaker 8: argument that they keep twisting and turning is you know.
8:07
Speaker 8: I think what happens is that people get very tired
8:10
Speaker 8: of this sort of activist politician. We actually want serious
8:14
Speaker 8: conversations about what is happening to our social cohesion and
8:17
Speaker 8: what is happening to our standard of living in our
8:19
Speaker 8: way of life. And people are very concerned and they
8:21
Speaker 8: do want it address with a level of integrity, not
8:24
Speaker 8: with people just screaming through the chamber of Parliament.
8:27
Speaker 3: Now, the afl W has come under fire for it's
8:31
Speaker 3: Welcome to Country before the preliminary final between Carlton and
8:35
Speaker 3: Brisbane on Saturday night. Now watch this. We're just going
8:39
Speaker 3: to play you a small part of it. But you've
8:40
Speaker 3: got Aboriginal elder Luiz of Bonner here lecturing the crowd
8:45
Speaker 3: about racial justice and even promoting her own business.
8:49
Speaker 9: Indigenous led justice models such as Kury and Murray Courts,
8:52
Speaker 9: Mara and Gurka Justice Reinvestment Project, Maori Range, Atari Courts,
8:56
Speaker 9: Canadian Sentence and Service of Native American Healing to Wellness Courts.
8:59
Speaker 10: Damage.
9:00
Speaker 9: It's very consistently stronger outcomes of mainstream detention systems. If
9:04
Speaker 9: you wish to discuss as catch up with me afterwards.
9:07
Speaker 9: Here's my business card.
9:09
Speaker 2: She sped read through that.
9:10
Speaker 3: I think she fitted about five minutes into her two
9:13
Speaker 3: and a half minute.
9:14
Speaker 2: Speech, but most of it was about a lecture.
9:18
Speaker 3: About a national crisis caused by systematic racism and colonization. Patrick,
9:23
Speaker 3: It's like the AFLW wants to create more reasons for
9:28
Speaker 3: football fans not to watch. I mean, there are enough
9:30
Speaker 3: reasons already.
9:31
Speaker 2: This was just bizarre. I think even some of the
9:34
Speaker 2: players looked thoroughly confused.
9:36
Speaker 6: Look, it was a manifesto, wasn't it. There was no
9:38
Speaker 6: place for it. I mean, that's not a welcome the country.
9:41
Speaker 6: That actually is a distraction.
9:43
Speaker 2: It wasn't very welcoming. I didn't feel welcome.
9:46
Speaker 6: And she rushed through it. It's like she had a
9:47
Speaker 6: lot to say in a very short space of time. Look,
9:51
Speaker 6: I think a lot of people will have found that offensive.
9:53
Speaker 6: They're watching to watch football and suddenly they're being attacked
9:57
Speaker 6: and sort of told off and berated all these systemic
10:01
Speaker 6: problems in the country. There's no place for it. I'd
10:04
Speaker 6: like in the AFL. Why wasn't that exactly.
10:08
Speaker 3: This is the AFL Colleen, that every single club, the
10:11
Speaker 3: league itself lectured its fans about voting.
10:15
Speaker 2: Yes, it was on the wrong side of history.
10:18
Speaker 3: And I do remember during that referendum debate, Marshall Langton
10:22
Speaker 3: telling us that if the referendum didn't pass, we would
10:25
Speaker 3: be spared these ceremonies.
10:28
Speaker 2: But here we are they're getting longer and more political.
10:32
Speaker 11: Ye.
10:32
Speaker 8: Look, I thought that sort of close to three minutes
10:34
Speaker 8: was an appalling, abusive, privileged position. People go to watch
10:38
Speaker 8: sport to enjoy it, cheer along their team and have
10:41
Speaker 8: a good time. They don't go to be lectured about
10:44
Speaker 8: allegations of systemic racism or to be promoted to somebody's
10:47
Speaker 8: private business. I think most people who go willingly. You know,
10:52
Speaker 8: a lot of Uesstonians quite like the welcome the country now.
10:55
Speaker 8: They accept it or they tolerate it politely, and so
10:59
Speaker 8: they just don't.
11:00
Speaker 6: They don't.
11:01
Speaker 8: There is no place for this sort of badgering of
11:03
Speaker 8: people when they're out to have a happy time supporting
11:05
Speaker 8: their team.
11:06
Speaker 3: Absolutely, and as I think Warren Mundine said, if it
11:10
Speaker 3: was supposed to be a welcome to country, the welcome
11:13
Speaker 3: part was lost because.
11:14
Speaker 2: It was welcoming at all. Not at all.
11:17
Speaker 3: Now let's quickly touch on this. We've been talking about
11:19
Speaker 3: this for several weeks now. It seems oppositional leader Susan
11:22
Speaker 3: Lee will likely avoid a leadership challenge as Parliament prepares
11:26
Speaker 3: to wrap up for the year. The Liberal leader will
11:29
Speaker 3: face a lot of pressure over the summer break to
11:31
Speaker 3: improve the coalition's primary vote, which is sitting on twenty
11:35
Speaker 3: four percent, a historic low. Patrick Andrew Hasty is hot
11:40
Speaker 3: on her heels. They're talking about perhaps March being the
11:46
Speaker 3: timeline she's got to prove herself.
11:49
Speaker 6: Look, she's limped to the end of the year, like
11:51
Speaker 6: every Liberal party in a lot federally in state issues,
11:55
Speaker 6: they've forgotten to be oppositions. They've been too busy fighting themselves.
11:59
Speaker 6: Let's see what happened next year. In terms of Andrew Hasty,
12:02
Speaker 6: I think she's got to land a few punches as
12:04
Speaker 6: an opposition leader in a way that they haven't been
12:06
Speaker 6: able to. And look, that will become clear as he goes.
12:10
Speaker 6: She's in a very vulnerable position at this point.
12:14
Speaker 3: Absolutely, she was forced to abandon net zero. I think
12:18
Speaker 3: that's going to work for her. I don't know how
12:20
Speaker 3: well she can prosecute the case, given I think she
12:23
Speaker 3: likes net zero personally. But they also need to come
12:26
Speaker 3: to a position on immigration. That's why Hasty left the
12:30
Speaker 3: Left a team and they're sitting on the back benches
12:33
Speaker 3: now and again when we talk about Hasty, you know
12:35
Speaker 3: precisely where he stands on these key issues.
12:38
Speaker 8: Look, I think Susanly did a good job calling out
12:42
Speaker 8: Chris Bowen on being a part time minister with a
12:45
Speaker 8: part time energy grid. I thought that that's a really
12:47
Speaker 8: good that did land, which was great. They need to
12:51
Speaker 8: land more than just a one line in Parliament. To
12:55
Speaker 8: your point, Rita, I think that internally the real issue
12:58
Speaker 8: is that the Liberal Party and other parties too, but
13:00
Speaker 8: particularly at the moment, the Liberal Party are looking for
13:02
Speaker 8: Messiah to fix the problems. And the real issue is
13:05
Speaker 8: that how many people internally in the party are really
13:08
Speaker 8: genuinely committed to dropping that zero and how many aren't
13:11
Speaker 8: Because it's the most important policy position to take it
13:14
Speaker 8: to fix everything in the economy, So you have to
13:17
Speaker 8: have a team that is united on that, and I
13:20
Speaker 8: you know, my personal view is that those who really
13:22
Speaker 8: can't sell it should leave because it is the most
13:24
Speaker 8: important position to take because it's the country's security, is
13:28
Speaker 8: the our energy, is everything reliably and I'd like to
13:31
Speaker 8: think that she's.
13:32
Speaker 2: Committed to selling it. We have to wait and see.
13:34
Speaker 3: I'm sure she is committed to selling and I just
13:36
Speaker 3: question if your own belief isn't in it. You know,
13:41
Speaker 3: you're being a salesman, You're not actually articulating a position
13:46
Speaker 3: you believe in deeply and think it's as best for
13:48
Speaker 3: the country. Now before you go, Senator Hanson obviously is
13:52
Speaker 3: Pauline Hanson got most of the attention yesterday, but Senator
13:56
Speaker 3: Lydia Thorpe also.
13:58
Speaker 2: Made a speech and some grievances.
14:01
Speaker 12: I'd whold, I'd be putting my head down in shame too, minister, shame,
14:08
Speaker 12: you have not even thought about this.
14:11
Speaker 3: She accused Labor of siding with the opposition and ignoring
14:15
Speaker 3: the input of activist bodies. But it's her bold new
14:19
Speaker 3: look that had folks commenting. And by folks I mean me.
14:23
Speaker 3: I don't know if I just saw I looked at
14:25
Speaker 3: her and I saw Kim from Kath and Kim.
14:28
Speaker 2: It's obvious she's.
14:30
Speaker 3: Channeling Kim, and to give the senators some credit, she
14:36
Speaker 3: has a sense of humor about this. She tweeted, I'm
14:38
Speaker 3: not a housewife, I'm a hornbag in response to my
14:42
Speaker 3: post two staunch icons.
14:45
Speaker 2: Thanks reader.
14:46
Speaker 3: I'd usually say this guy news mob or a pack
14:48
Speaker 3: of I can't say that, but that's a line from
14:51
Speaker 3: Kath and Kim.
14:52
Speaker 2: But you're getting something right for once. Well there you go.
14:55
Speaker 3: I mean, what can you say about the good senator?
14:58
Speaker 3: She has a sense of humor and that should be applauded.
15:01
Speaker 10: I think this is great.
15:01
Speaker 6: Two public figures who fundamentally oppose each other on pretty
15:05
Speaker 6: much everything can actually come together for a laugh. I
15:07
Speaker 6: think there should be more of it.
15:09
Speaker 3: And I like that she's proud of looking like Kim
15:11
Speaker 3: because she's a hornbag Kim.
15:13
Speaker 2: She's an iconic figure in Australian television.
15:16
Speaker 8: Well you know you've made it, Rita, when Lydia Thorpe
15:18
Speaker 8: is commenting on your posts, you know, like, well.
15:20
Speaker 3: I didn't tagger in that, so I don't know how
15:23
Speaker 3: she saw it. Someone obviously sent it to her. But yeah,
15:26
Speaker 3: no hard feelings. Patrick Carlin and Colleen Harkin, thanks for
15:29
Speaker 3: your time.
15:29
Speaker 10: Thank you.
15:31
Speaker 2: Let's bring in Sky.
15:32
Speaker 3: News contributor Kosher Gaeta Kosher Swedish doom goblin Greta Thunberg
15:37
Speaker 3: has been banned from Venice for dyeing the Grand Canal
15:41
Speaker 3: green over the weekend. Yes, the climate zealot turned anti
15:45
Speaker 3: Israeli activist and around three dozen other global warming at
15:49
Speaker 3: lamas were slapped with the band, which only lasts forty
15:53
Speaker 3: eight hours. Greta also copped a small fine. The activist
15:57
Speaker 3: said the die is harmless and.
15:59
Speaker 2: Was used to draw attention to the massive effects of
16:03
Speaker 2: climate collapse.
16:04
Speaker 3: They also displayed a banner reading stop Eco side from
16:09
Speaker 3: the rialto bridge and it wasn't just Venice green dye
16:12
Speaker 3: was released into canals, rivers, lakes and fountains in ten
16:16
Speaker 3: different Italian cities Kosher. I don't think the Italian Prime
16:20
Speaker 3: Minister Georgia Maloney is going to be a fan of
16:23
Speaker 3: this sort of activism. She doesn't have much patience for
16:26
Speaker 3: the likes of Gotta Thumberg, and she took some tough
16:29
Speaker 3: action during COP thirty rejecting various climate change measures that
16:36
Speaker 3: were being proposed.
16:37
Speaker 11: Yes, she's of this ascendant movement that wants to end
16:41
Speaker 11: all that nonsense and server constituents. She's also famous for
16:44
Speaker 11: the eye rolls. I think Georgia Maloney eye rolls are
16:47
Speaker 11: down round to themselves, but hopefully there's more than eyerolls.
16:49
Speaker 11: I don't know what recourse there is with Grada, because
16:53
Speaker 11: she is ultimately a performance artist in my opinion, and
16:57
Speaker 11: breaking norm's rules laws as part of her performance art
17:01
Speaker 11: and pena fines is the cost of her act and
17:03
Speaker 11: cost doing business. So she will incur these fines, but
17:05
Speaker 11: it's just a little bit here and there slap on
17:07
Speaker 11: the wrist, and she achieves her goal, which seems less
17:10
Speaker 11: and less to be about climate change and more and
17:11
Speaker 11: more about personal feme so she's gonna keep doing it.
17:14
Speaker 10: What this is it?
17:15
Speaker 3: She's so passionate about the Palestinian cause, and that seems
17:20
Speaker 3: to have been forgotten because Trump orchestrated a peace steal.
17:25
Speaker 3: She didn't seem to celebrate that too much. It's just
17:28
Speaker 3: like nothing had happened. Back to the climate.
17:31
Speaker 2: Alarmism, yep, until the next thing opens up for her,
17:35
Speaker 2: the next thing that the left wing gets behind. Incredible.
17:39
Speaker 3: Now, we've discussed in recent years the rise of the
17:42
Speaker 3: right around the world, from South America to Europe, and
17:45
Speaker 3: that growing list of countries may include France. Marine le
17:50
Speaker 3: Pen's conviction in an EU corruption case has paved the
17:53
Speaker 3: way for Jordan Bardella to become the leader of France's
17:57
Speaker 3: populist right party, the National Rally and Kosher. He has
18:02
Speaker 3: taken a commanding lead in the polls. It could become
18:06
Speaker 3: the country's next president. It's quite incredible how popular he is.
18:12
Speaker 3: He's a young man, but people say him as a
18:15
Speaker 3: successor to Emmanuel Macron.
18:16
Speaker 11: They do because the fundamentals in Europe and Latin America
18:20
Speaker 11: and all these places America, England and here, I would say,
18:24
Speaker 11: are in alignment with the populist right. All those things
18:26
Speaker 11: from immigration, the economy, cost of living, energy that we
18:29
Speaker 11: just discussed, and the movement is bigger than any one person. Yes,
18:32
Speaker 11: if there's a charismatic leader who gives it a jump start,
18:35
Speaker 11: that has value, but it's bigger than that person. Trump
18:38
Speaker 11: is will exist beyond Trump. Reform Party will exist beyond
18:42
Speaker 11: Nigel Frage. And then here locking we're in Lapenaway. I
18:44
Speaker 11: don't think was going to take out that party.
18:46
Speaker 10: It's like next man up.
18:48
Speaker 11: Not to say that other leaders may fall down or
18:51
Speaker 11: they may lose momentum when these big personalities exit stage left.
18:55
Speaker 11: But he at least seems to be popular and the
18:57
Speaker 11: French parliament is very tenuous right now. Ever since Macron
19:00
Speaker 11: called that snap election last June, they've got this very
19:03
Speaker 11: uneasy alliance because they're really trying to keep this ascendant
19:06
Speaker 11: party out and you know that shows up. There's this
19:09
Speaker 11: chronic instability and the next time there's an election we
19:12
Speaker 11: shall see because they've only been gaining ground over the
19:14
Speaker 11: last several years.
19:15
Speaker 3: Well, Emmanuel Lacron seems to get a lot of positive
19:18
Speaker 3: press internationally, but at home he's far from popular and
19:23
Speaker 3: his track record is pretty poor.
19:25
Speaker 11: I think he's at eleven to sixteen percent in the
19:28
Speaker 11: approval ratings, which is lower than Holands, like the lowest
19:31
Speaker 11: in decades of anybody. And I would say that the
19:33
Speaker 11: base of the populist right around the world isn't his
19:36
Speaker 11: biggest fan. So certainly in the US, you know, like
19:39
Speaker 11: it's fun and he might be charismatic, and people love
19:41
Speaker 11: France culturally and all that, but I wouldn't say that
19:43
Speaker 11: he's somebody who really engenders a lot of inspiration from
19:47
Speaker 11: that hard right populist right base that is ascendent everywhere,
19:51
Speaker 11: and they're probably on some level, I don't want to
19:53
Speaker 11: say laugh at him, but sort of see him as
19:56
Speaker 11: from this bygone era or establishment, and I think these
19:59
Speaker 11: types of people are going to be more and more resented.
20:02
Speaker 3: Now to another country where the right has taken over
20:06
Speaker 3: and dramatically changed things for the better. El Salvador has
20:09
Speaker 3: seen a huge drop in violent criming, has gone from
20:13
Speaker 3: having one of the highest homicide rates anywhere in the
20:16
Speaker 3: world to one of the lowest, and President Navy for
20:20
Speaker 3: Calais took to x earlier today to share this video
20:23
Speaker 3: and reaffirm his commitment to tough on crime measures. He tweeted,
20:28
Speaker 3: they say you can't imprison your way out of crime,
20:31
Speaker 3: but in fact, a strong police force and a tough,
20:34
Speaker 3: well managed prison system are the necessary first steps in
20:38
Speaker 3: transforming a healthscape into a safe, high trust society.
20:44
Speaker 2: Savath look kosher. The stats don't lie here.
20:59
Speaker 3: Adrop in violent crime in El Salvador is astonishing, and
21:04
Speaker 3: the fact that he did it so quickly is just
21:07
Speaker 3: as incredible.
21:08
Speaker 11: He has put that country on the map in a
21:11
Speaker 11: way that is such a blueprint for everywhere, because you
21:14
Speaker 11: see San Francisco, you see Melbourne, you see all these
21:17
Speaker 11: once great, amazing cities telling the opposite story of just
21:20
Speaker 11: crime being on the op and up, not obviously to
21:22
Speaker 11: this level, but it can move quickly. And then you
21:25
Speaker 11: see this other example over here. And you know there
21:27
Speaker 11: were examples before, like New York City under Giuliani and
21:30
Speaker 11: all that where they cleaned up crime, but here it
21:32
Speaker 11: is the most extreme because it was known as the
21:34
Speaker 11: homicide capital of the world. There are one hundred and
21:37
Speaker 11: six homicides per one hundred thousand people before he came in,
21:40
Speaker 11: and now it is less than two.
21:42
Speaker 3: How how does he do that? But you know how
21:44
Speaker 3: he did it with saying foot each of it. It's
21:47
Speaker 3: by locking away the bad people.
21:49
Speaker 11: And having a maximum maximalist style prison where they have
21:53
Speaker 11: twenty three hours of hard labor, no sunlight, all of
21:56
Speaker 11: that where we don't want to go to prison, people
21:57
Speaker 11: don't want to go. It's a true return and that
21:59
Speaker 11: is a ninety percent reduction, and it is such a blueprint,
22:02
Speaker 11: so it really makes other leaders look more and more foolish.
22:04
Speaker 11: You could take a place like that and turn it
22:06
Speaker 11: around so quickly. He's a most popular president ninety eight
22:09
Speaker 11: percent approval, leading.
22:10
Speaker 2: In the world for this reason.
22:11
Speaker 3: And the philosophy is so at odds with what we've
22:14
Speaker 3: embrased in Australia because this so called progressive way of
22:18
Speaker 3: looking at the criminal justice system, where it's all about
22:21
Speaker 3: the offenders' rights, how do we reintegrate them into society,
22:25
Speaker 3: all about that, instead of prioritizing the safety of the community,
22:30
Speaker 3: punishing people for wrongdoing and also having punishments that act
22:34
Speaker 3: as a deterrent.
22:35
Speaker 2: That's again and another message.
22:37
Speaker 11: It's simple in principle, but for some reason it's not
22:40
Speaker 11: being executed.
22:41
Speaker 2: We know the reason, well, yes we do.
22:43
Speaker 3: Now there's been a development in Derek Chauvin's case. That's
22:47
Speaker 3: the man convicted of killing George Floyd and that triggered
22:51
Speaker 3: the BLM Rights of twenty twenty, a conviction many see
22:56
Speaker 3: as political and fundamentally flawed. Kosher's defense attorney has now
23:01
Speaker 3: filed a new petition that challenges the murder conviction, and
23:05
Speaker 3: that petition includes over fifty former and current police officers
23:10
Speaker 3: who make sworn declarations that the technique chauven use restrained
23:15
Speaker 3: George Floyd. The knee on the neck was part of
23:18
Speaker 3: the training given to Minneapolis Police Department officers.
23:23
Speaker 2: Kosher, this is something that is a sleeper issue. I
23:27
Speaker 2: see it come up.
23:28
Speaker 3: There is a lot of interest in it because people
23:33
Speaker 3: have learned a great deal more about that incident. They've
23:37
Speaker 3: learned a great deal more about the toxicology report, for example,
23:42
Speaker 3: and they think this is a miscarriage of justice. I've
23:45
Speaker 3: got to say, when I first saw it, I thought
23:47
Speaker 3: this guy's guilty. He deserves to go away, throw away
23:50
Speaker 3: the key.
23:51
Speaker 2: But the information that's come out since then paints a
23:55
Speaker 2: very different picture.
23:56
Speaker 11: I think you've put it very well.
23:57
Speaker 2: It is a sleeper issue.
23:59
Speaker 11: It is very sad because the clock is ticking, and
24:01
Speaker 11: every day that it takes he's in there. And if
24:03
Speaker 11: it was a miscarriacter justice or an over criminalization. You
24:08
Speaker 11: don't get that time back if that is the case.
24:10
Speaker 11: It is also an issue that was so engulfed by
24:13
Speaker 11: the court of public opinion on top of the law.
24:15
Speaker 11: We like to say justice is blind and the system
24:17
Speaker 11: is perfect, and you never miscalculate or over prosecute. Does happen,
24:21
Speaker 11: hopefully not often, but it can happen. And this thing
24:23
Speaker 11: you had everything from the riots as you say, to
24:25
Speaker 11: the corporate logos black all over LinkedIn to everybody being
24:29
Speaker 11: asked about it, and George Floyd was elevated to almost
24:34
Speaker 11: sainthood status. Who's very flawed individual, which doesn't excuse what
24:37
Speaker 11: may or may not have happened here, but just nobody
24:40
Speaker 11: could have the guts to even say, even have this
24:42
Speaker 11: discussion back then would have probably gotten people canceled. And
24:46
Speaker 11: I do think that played a role in the way
24:48
Speaker 11: the jury poll probably reacted or the way the evidence
24:50
Speaker 11: was put forward. Will never know to what extent, but
24:53
Speaker 11: you know, it's impossible to insulate the jury and the
24:56
Speaker 11: whole system from that. And who knows how much of
24:58
Speaker 11: that played a role. It certainly seems to plead some
25:01
Speaker 11: rule for sure.
25:03
Speaker 3: Now to an issue I don't fully understand still bitcoin,
25:07
Speaker 3: it's had its worst month in history, falling to around
25:11
Speaker 3: eighty thousand dollars US. Still seems like a lot, but
25:15
Speaker 3: it is its lowest value in over seven months. Five
25:18
Speaker 3: hundred billion in value has been wiped off, and investors
25:23
Speaker 3: who've gone into debt to buy bitcoin are dumping their
25:27
Speaker 3: coins to pay off loans. Kosher, what's driving this plunge?
25:33
Speaker 3: Do you understand bitcoin? Because I still don't get it.
25:37
Speaker 2: I think a lot of people.
25:38
Speaker 11: I mean, it is very complicated, and I certainly don't
25:40
Speaker 11: want to suggest that I know all the ins and
25:41
Speaker 11: outs of it. But what happened is it went from
25:44
Speaker 11: about forty thousand per bitcoin to one hundred thousand in
25:47
Speaker 11: one year. So that's a rapid up rise. Yeah, And
25:51
Speaker 11: were the fundamentals driving that only or were there other
25:54
Speaker 11: things around? Its speculation leverage and it's the ladder. I mean,
25:57
Speaker 11: the fundamentals are what they are. There's value if you
26:00
Speaker 11: believe in decentralized or crypto exchanges and all that.
26:03
Speaker 3: But that kind of a bull riased on like it
26:05
Speaker 3: seems to be a currency based on I don't know,
26:08
Speaker 3: mining electricity or something.
26:09
Speaker 2: It seems not to have a value based That's what
26:12
Speaker 2: confuses me about it. Then it is so volatile.
26:15
Speaker 3: I mean it has had these dramatic increases and drops,
26:18
Speaker 3: but overall it's trending.
26:20
Speaker 11: The crux of it is there's like a finite amount
26:23
Speaker 11: of this. There's like twenty one million bitcoin or something
26:25
Speaker 11: like that. It will never be increased, is you know,
26:28
Speaker 11: the belief system. So it's kind of like gold or
26:30
Speaker 11: what have you that there's a finite supply, and so
26:32
Speaker 11: that's why there will always be inherent value to it.
26:34
Speaker 11: But there's so much around this. Where there was institutional buying,
26:37
Speaker 11: there is extreme, extreme leverage, and all of that at once.
26:41
Speaker 11: It's sort of a cascade effect of many things in
26:42
Speaker 11: the system that are changing and flipping it once. Where
26:44
Speaker 11: institutions are dumping interest rates they were expecting would drop
26:48
Speaker 11: by a certain timeframe, they didn't. And then what's happening
26:51
Speaker 11: is those big institutions can cut their losses and dump.
26:54
Speaker 11: The profit takers did that and have made a lot
26:56
Speaker 11: of money over that ull run, the ones who have
26:59
Speaker 11: the ability to it for the long runner holding it.
27:02
Speaker 11: So these other people got wiped out, The ones who
27:04
Speaker 11: took on debt to buy.
27:04
Speaker 2: It once who brought one hundred thousands by the ones
27:07
Speaker 2: who and.
27:07
Speaker 11: No one is buying it now, So then that will
27:09
Speaker 11: lead to a tank until there's a correction to whatever
27:11
Speaker 11: the market believes is a fair price, and then I
27:13
Speaker 11: think people might get.
27:14
Speaker 2: Back in Koshergator, thank you so much for your time.
27:17
Speaker 2: Pleasure still to karma.
27:19
Speaker 3: Lefties losing it plus anti ICE activists attack businesses.
27:23
Speaker 2: That cooperate with the enforcement agency. Mi Horowitz joins me.
27:28
Speaker 3: Next, you're watching the Rida Panny Show, and it's time
27:41
Speaker 3: for lefties losing it.
27:42
Speaker 2: In recent weeks, we.
27:43
Speaker 3: Have heard so much about fractures on the right, about
27:47
Speaker 3: the magabase being divided, about Trump losing support among Republicans.
27:53
Speaker 3: It's times like this I like to check in with
27:55
Speaker 3: CNN's polling expert Harry Enton.
27:59
Speaker 2: That is it, Harry, is the president losing Republicans?
28:03
Speaker 5: No, Look, this is still Donald Trump's Republican party, and
28:07
Speaker 5: we can see it here.
28:09
Speaker 6: It's like a rock.
28:10
Speaker 5: To quote Bob Sieger, I mean, take a look here,
28:12
Speaker 5: Republicans who approve of Trump. Six months ago, it was
28:14
Speaker 5: eighty seven percent. Now, well, hello, it's the same number.
28:19
Speaker 5: It's eighty seven percent. He has not lost any support
28:22
Speaker 5: among Republicans compared to six months ago. As I said
28:25
Speaker 5: at the beginning, he's like a rock. He's like a rock.
28:28
Speaker 5: The Republican base is sticking by Donald Trump at this
28:31
Speaker 5: point in two.
28:32
Speaker 3: Really, that's fascinating, Harry. I wonder how it compares to
28:36
Speaker 3: other recent presidents. Now, this next bit is likely to
28:41
Speaker 3: opposite our sensitive lifty viewers.
28:44
Speaker 2: So perhaps I don't know golf and make a cup
28:45
Speaker 2: of tea.
28:46
Speaker 5: Yes, Donald Trump. If you look at twenty first century
28:49
Speaker 5: president's own party approval at this point in term two,
28:52
Speaker 5: who leads the pack, it's Donald John Trump. Eighty seven
28:55
Speaker 5: percent of Republicans approved Donald John Trump. You go back
28:58
Speaker 5: to twenty thirteen, seventy eight percent of Democrats supported Barack Obama,
29:03
Speaker 5: and it was seventy eight percent of Republicans who supported
29:05
Speaker 5: George W. Bush back in two thousand and five. At
29:08
Speaker 5: this point, so Donald Trump has the biggest own party
29:11
Speaker 5: highest own party approval of any president who served their
29:14
Speaker 5: entire second term in the twenty first cents.
29:17
Speaker 2: That was fine.
29:18
Speaker 3: Now let's check out some tolerant lefties being delightfully inclusive
29:23
Speaker 3: and kind when met with someone who may have a
29:26
Speaker 3: differing view to them. Of course, they immediately resort to
29:30
Speaker 3: threats and violence.
29:36
Speaker 10: With the sign right, A lot of this security has weapons.
29:42
Speaker 10: You should get gotty. What are you gonna do? You're
29:45
Speaker 10: a nobody, You're a nobody. You're a little cut nobody,
29:49
Speaker 10: and so are you going to use weapons?
29:50
Speaker 4: No?
29:51
Speaker 5: We might, we might? Really, nobody?
29:55
Speaker 10: Do you support the time? I said?
29:56
Speaker 5: Nobody been?
29:57
Speaker 10: I support you leaving? We're not going to leave it? Nobody.
30:00
Speaker 3: Can't you just feel the love of such well balanced
30:03
Speaker 3: and compassionate people.
30:05
Speaker 13: Okay, so he is dragging Trump and ice officials, law enforcement.
30:11
Speaker 6: Excuse me, ma'am, do.
30:13
Speaker 10: You support us? They are dragging the president? What are them?
30:19
Speaker 6: You're an arch kid?
30:21
Speaker 9: Now?
30:21
Speaker 10: Am I an art really inclusive? Really implusive? You know?
30:34
Speaker 2: The left doesn't just have a violence problem, that much
30:38
Speaker 2: is clear. They also have a racism problem.
30:41
Speaker 3: The open hostility towards white people, particularly white men, The
30:46
Speaker 3: unrepentant racism.
30:49
Speaker 2: Has been normalized for far too long.
30:51
Speaker 3: This next woman speaks without fear of being labeled a
30:54
Speaker 3: hideous races because.
30:56
Speaker 2: She's heard this sort of toxic retric everywhere.
31:00
Speaker 10: Harley Kirk like, I'm.
31:01
Speaker 4: I'm glad the guy's dad.
31:02
Speaker 10: Actually, you're glad. Yeah, I'm glad.
31:05
Speaker 4: White men are literally the single greatest threat to humans
31:12
Speaker 4: being fed, housed, clothed, having their basic needs. White men
31:16
Speaker 4: are the greatest threat to that.
31:17
Speaker 10: Well, I don't see any problems gouda a white men.
31:21
Speaker 2: Well, you're also.
31:22
Speaker 10: Unable to name me an example a right, The example.
31:25
Speaker 4: Is you having the privilege to even be out here.
31:27
Speaker 3: Now, you remember Donald Trump and New York City Mayor
31:31
Speaker 3: A Legsar and ma'n Donnie having a very civilized, polite
31:34
Speaker 3: get together in the White House. Well, the lefties lost
31:38
Speaker 3: it after that because Zauren didn't attack the President in
31:42
Speaker 3: the way they would have liked.
31:44
Speaker 2: So, like a good little coward, he's now gone back
31:47
Speaker 2: to calling President Trump a fascist. He's gone from this,
31:52
Speaker 2: are you affirming that you think President Trump is a fascist?
31:56
Speaker 6: I've spoken about That's okay, Okay, it's easier, It's easier
32:02
Speaker 6: than explaining.
32:02
Speaker 2: A better Yep.
32:04
Speaker 3: He's gone from that to now claiming that he in
32:07
Speaker 3: fact answered yes to that question and he does see
32:11
Speaker 3: Donald Trump as a fascist.
32:13
Speaker 14: Mister mayrrilact, just to be very clear, do you think
32:17
Speaker 14: that President Trump is a fascist?
32:18
Speaker 6: And after President Trump said that. I said, yes, and
32:21
Speaker 6: so you do. And that's something that I've said in
32:23
Speaker 6: the past I say today.
32:24
Speaker 14: And you've also said in the past that President Trump
32:26
Speaker 14: has engaged in a quote attack on our democracy.
32:30
Speaker 2: You've called him a despot.
32:31
Speaker 14: Do you still believe President Trump is a threat to
32:33
Speaker 14: the democracy.
32:35
Speaker 10: Everything that I've said in the past, I continue to believe.
32:37
Speaker 3: Pathetic, Zoren, Absolutely pathetic. Now let's have a look at
32:42
Speaker 3: some of the entitled antics of protesters or helping to
32:45
Speaker 3: destroy the profitability of businesses that cooperate with Immigration and
32:50
Speaker 3: Customs enforcement eyes, businesses that simply comply.
32:54
Speaker 2: With the law. Watch these idiot lefties lining up to
32:58
Speaker 2: buy seventeen cent ice.
33:00
Speaker 3: Scrapers at home depot, then returning them, and then buying them,
33:04
Speaker 3: which essentially stops anyone else, like real customers being able
33:09
Speaker 3: to shop at home depot.
33:11
Speaker 2: What are you vain, Nate scraper? N thanks, what are
33:19
Speaker 2: your vane?
33:21
Speaker 7: We are?
33:23
Speaker 3: Let's bring in documentary filmmaker and commentator Army Horowitz. Army
33:28
Speaker 3: no shock that those scenes are from California. This would
33:32
Speaker 3: be costing affected businesses a fortune.
33:36
Speaker 15: Yeah, California, my home state. Oh, I'm so proud by
33:41
Speaker 15: the way, who's right the ice scrapers are seventeen cents, Well,
33:46
Speaker 15: obviously it's marg.
33:48
Speaker 10: I looked at my local store I heard about this.
33:50
Speaker 15: They're two ninety nine, So yeah, I would have gone
33:52
Speaker 15: on line for them all, so just wouldn't have returned them.
33:54
Speaker 10: Are too good a deal.
33:55
Speaker 15: Look for them, this is a two fer right, which
33:58
Speaker 15: means like, on the one hand, they get to two
34:00
Speaker 15: things at one time.
34:01
Speaker 10: Right, they get to protest the fascism of.
34:06
Speaker 15: Trump right and the ice raids, and at the same
34:09
Speaker 15: time also helped to take down capitalism.
34:11
Speaker 10: So for them it was a two for one deal.
34:13
Speaker 15: You know, the right that never does this right when
34:15
Speaker 15: we have Obviously the right has issues with the left,
34:19
Speaker 15: issues with different governments in the city government, state governments.
34:23
Speaker 10: President was on the left just last year. But we
34:26
Speaker 10: didn't do this thing.
34:26
Speaker 15: We didn't disrupt commerce, we didn't disrupt people's lives, we
34:30
Speaker 15: didn't go to people's home. It's not the way the
34:32
Speaker 15: right does business. And by the way, I don't know
34:34
Speaker 15: if you saw that in the clip, but they had these.
34:36
Speaker 15: They had twenty four white crosses to basically saying, if
34:41
Speaker 15: there are twenty four people who died in ice custody,
34:44
Speaker 15: since Donald Trump will, as you know, area, I'm a
34:47
Speaker 15: data guy.
34:47
Speaker 10: I don't just let that go. I go into the.
34:49
Speaker 15: Numbers, I go into the weeds. I did it with
34:51
Speaker 15: this also because that didn't seem right to me. And
34:54
Speaker 15: yet indeed there were between twenty and twenty four deaths,
34:58
Speaker 15: but yet not exactly an ice custody. I'm talking to
35:01
Speaker 15: the people that died were actually mostly in hospitals where
35:04
Speaker 15: the US government was actually trying to treat them for
35:07
Speaker 15: underlying condition. They died in the hospital. Some of them
35:10
Speaker 15: were suicides. But of course, let's not let the truth
35:13
Speaker 15: get in the way of the narrative of the left right.
35:16
Speaker 15: And you know, I want to point out another thing
35:18
Speaker 15: that Home Depot they're not involved in these ice raids.
35:21
Speaker 15: They don't coordinate with the US government. They went to
35:23
Speaker 15: great pains to say we have nothing to do with this.
35:27
Speaker 15: But of course the left doesn't care about the truth,
35:29
Speaker 15: doesn't care about that. And I'll just add one last
35:32
Speaker 15: thing about this, Rita. Look, I'm all, as you know,
35:35
Speaker 15: we've talked about illegal immigration for years on the show,
35:39
Speaker 15: and there's I'm going to take a backseat to no
35:41
Speaker 15: one on how I wanted to stop illegal immigration and
35:45
Speaker 15: get rid of illegals in this country.
35:47
Speaker 10: But it's also a very bad look.
35:49
Speaker 15: Okay, when you run into home depot and grabbing people
35:52
Speaker 15: off the park.
35:53
Speaker 10: You know, the parking lot are trying to get jobs.
35:55
Speaker 15: It's one of the reasons, just from the optics perspective,
35:58
Speaker 15: it's one of the reasons why there's there's been a
36:00
Speaker 15: degradation and support of Donald Trump with the Latino community,
36:04
Speaker 15: which in no small way put them over the top.
36:07
Speaker 15: So I think also want I have to look at
36:09
Speaker 15: the politics of this, and it doesn't look good.
36:13
Speaker 2: It doesn't.
36:14
Speaker 3: But if you want to have mass deportations, you're going
36:16
Speaker 3: to have to do that. It's not there's no nice
36:19
Speaker 3: way of going about this. There's no way where you're
36:23
Speaker 3: going to be able to deport people who are in
36:25
Speaker 3: the country illegally without scenes that are like that, and
36:29
Speaker 3: they're sometimes emotional and hard to witness. But it's what
36:33
Speaker 3: he was elected on. He has a mandate to do it.
36:35
Speaker 3: But I mean, let's stick with law and order. There's
36:38
Speaker 3: been another shocking, unprovoked, violent attack on public transport with
36:43
Speaker 3: a young woman set alight by someone who looks to
36:47
Speaker 3: be a criminal, and people are drawing comparisons with this case,
36:52
Speaker 3: with the horrific murder of Irena Zurutzka, who's brutal stabbing
36:56
Speaker 3: was caught on video. The twenty three year old Ukraine
37:00
Speaker 3: refugee was killed by someone who should have been behind bars.
37:03
Speaker 2: And that is also the case with this latest attack.
37:06
Speaker 3: Where twenty six year old Bethanymge was set on fire
37:11
Speaker 3: on a Chicago l train, allegedly by Lawrence Reid. Now,
37:15
Speaker 3: this is a man with seventy two prior arrests, his
37:20
Speaker 3: names are red, and he's.
37:22
Speaker 2: Now facing terrorism charges. But incredibly army, the judge initially.
37:28
Speaker 3: Overruled a request from prosecutors to have read locked up.
37:34
Speaker 3: I mean, this man should have been behind bars. This
37:37
Speaker 3: attack should have never happened. Thankfully, Bethany has survived the attack,
37:42
Speaker 3: but she has suffered horrific injuries.
37:46
Speaker 15: Yeah, grievous, terrible injuries that may follow her for the
37:49
Speaker 15: best for her life. Unfortunately, another example of Blue City
37:53
Speaker 15: failures on crime. And I think that we have been
37:56
Speaker 15: facing in New York City and we'll be facing obviously
37:58
Speaker 15: acutely with Zoramandani's yeah, seventy two times being arrested. Rita
38:04
Speaker 15: I can't think of something I've ever done seventy two
38:07
Speaker 15: times at all in my life. That's a lot of rest.
38:11
Speaker 15: And by the way, more than that, he broke probation
38:15
Speaker 15: over a dozen times. Just when you break probation once,
38:19
Speaker 15: you're supposed to go back to jail immediately, okay, but
38:24
Speaker 15: it goes back. Remember that the whole bail discussion. We
38:26
Speaker 15: had that video I shot just you know, a couple
38:28
Speaker 15: of weeks ago, we talked about it. It's so fascinating
38:31
Speaker 15: because if you remember in that video, I was asking people,
38:34
Speaker 15: does your criminal hit Do you think your criminal history
38:37
Speaker 15: should be part of how the judge looks at what
38:39
Speaker 15: you're sentencing will be? The answer is obviously yes, right,
38:42
Speaker 15: I mean, what else you're gonna go by? But the
38:44
Speaker 15: left refuses to do that. This is the example, you know,
38:48
Speaker 15: of the of that video coming to life where the
38:50
Speaker 15: judge themselves are saying I'm not going to take their criminal.
38:53
Speaker 10: History into account of It's unbelievable.
38:55
Speaker 15: And by the way, you know, this idea of setting
38:58
Speaker 15: people a blaze on our city's transport systems, this is
39:03
Speaker 15: not an isolated incident at all. In fact, I was
39:06
Speaker 15: looking at it in the last twelve months Riada. Five
39:09
Speaker 15: people in Chicago and New York alone were set on
39:13
Speaker 15: fire in those transit five people Riata.
39:17
Speaker 10: Okay, this is an epidemic. Okay, no, you can't. This
39:20
Speaker 10: is unbelievable.
39:22
Speaker 15: And look, this is also I want to point out
39:24
Speaker 15: a really a mental health crisis also, and I think
39:27
Speaker 15: it's an example. I've said for years that I hate
39:30
Speaker 15: to say it, but you know, we know that a
39:33
Speaker 15: lot of these crimes are committed by people mental health.
39:35
Speaker 10: I think we need to go back.
39:37
Speaker 15: It was Reagan who actually destitutionalized mental health criminals, and
39:41
Speaker 15: I think we have to restitutionalize people. I don't think
39:43
Speaker 15: we have a choice. And last thing, I'll talk about
39:46
Speaker 15: that about Brandon Johnson. The absolute and utter failure of
39:50
Speaker 15: a mayor. It's his response to this was unbelievable. He
39:53
Speaker 15: was talked talking about how, first of all, this is
39:55
Speaker 15: an isolated incident, untrue crime is up massively and Chicago
40:00
Speaker 15: transit authority and I was talking about how he's trying
40:02
Speaker 15: to make Chicago one of the safest big cities in
40:05
Speaker 15: the country.
40:06
Speaker 10: Yeah, total fail.
40:07
Speaker 15: Chicago is three times the national homicide average, and by
40:10
Speaker 15: the way, it has a higher homicide average than mede
40:13
Speaker 15: I in Columbia.
40:14
Speaker 10: So sorry, Brannon Johnson, that's just not the case.
40:18
Speaker 3: He is amongst the worst mayors in America. And that's
40:21
Speaker 3: saying something. Army before you go. President Donald Trump signed
40:25
Speaker 3: an executive order earlier today that designates chapters of the
40:29
Speaker 3: Muslim Brotherhood as foreign terrorist organizations. The Muslim Brotherhood is
40:34
Speaker 3: a Sunni Islamist organization founded in Egypt back in nineteen
40:39
Speaker 3: twenty eight, and the White House argues this designation will
40:42
Speaker 3: help the US combat the group's transnational network, which is
40:46
Speaker 3: set to fuel terrorism against US interests and allies in
40:50
Speaker 3: the Middle East.
40:51
Speaker 2: Army, is there going to be much.
40:53
Speaker 3: Resistance to this move by Donald Trump? Surely the Democrats
40:57
Speaker 3: aren't going to side with the Islamist Brotherhood.
41:01
Speaker 10: Yeah.
41:02
Speaker 15: First of all, look, I spent over a year researching
41:07
Speaker 15: and interviewing members of the Muslim Brotherhood around the world.
41:10
Speaker 10: I went to Cairo and Istanbul.
41:11
Speaker 15: And Beirute, Germany, and I met with dozens of Muslim
41:16
Speaker 15: Brotherhood leaders, leaders and lay people around the world.
41:19
Speaker 10: And I can tell you it's one of the most
41:21
Speaker 10: dangerous organizations that exists.
41:23
Speaker 15: So kudos to the President for designating my asking and
41:27
Speaker 15: pushing this for years as a terrorist organization, and you're
41:31
Speaker 15: as far as your question comes to the left, Yeah,
41:34
Speaker 15: they're going to cry foul this, of course they are.
41:37
Speaker 1: Uh.
41:37
Speaker 10: You know.
41:37
Speaker 15: The Muslim brother was telling me that they have co
41:39
Speaker 15: opted the left. That was part of their strategy and
41:42
Speaker 15: they and they of course adopt the language of the left.
41:45
Speaker 15: They talked about victimhood and colonization, right and occupation. These
41:49
Speaker 15: are all things that they use. They know at the
41:51
Speaker 15: left kind of is attracted to that, and the left
41:53
Speaker 15: has been for the most part supportive. Left makes arguments
41:57
Speaker 15: for them, saying they're not political organization, there religious organization.
42:00
Speaker 10: You can't go after them.
42:01
Speaker 15: You can attack them while they are those things. And
42:04
Speaker 15: by the way, so is organizations like Hamas. But their
42:07
Speaker 15: main point of business is terror.
42:11
Speaker 10: Come as you know, and.
42:12
Speaker 15: I mentioned Hamas a couple of times. Camas the direct
42:15
Speaker 15: offshoot of the Musslim Brotherhood. Al Qaeda is an offshoot
42:18
Speaker 15: of the Muslim brother There are almost a dozen terrorist
42:21
Speaker 15: organizations across the world that consider themselves part of the
42:25
Speaker 15: Muslim Brotherhood. Their slogan is Jihad is the Way and
42:29
Speaker 15: dying for Allah is the greatest good. That's their slogan.
42:32
Speaker 15: This is not me saying this, this is them saying
42:34
Speaker 15: that about themselves. They're incredibly dangerous and by the way,
42:39
Speaker 15: they have really spent a lot of time and effort
42:41
Speaker 15: in Europe and the United States.
42:43
Speaker 10: UH, the largest Islamic organizations in this in the.
42:45
Speaker 15: US care the student organizations are part of the Muslim
42:49
Speaker 15: brother They're associated with the Muslim Brotherhood and also very
42:54
Speaker 15: dangerously they are really involved in the jails. Most people
42:57
Speaker 15: convert to Islam and the jails do it under the
42:59
Speaker 15: auspices of the Muslim Brotherhood. And thirty five to forty
43:02
Speaker 15: thousand people a year are converting to Islam in our
43:05
Speaker 15: jails and the latest fifteen percent of the total population
43:09
Speaker 15: of jails are actually a Muslim. And it's a direct
43:12
Speaker 15: responsible directly.
43:14
Speaker 3: This fascinating the brothers. Yeah, that is fascinating. Army Horowitz,
43:19
Speaker 3: thank you so much for the for those insights.
43:23
Speaker 2: Coming up.
43:24
Speaker 3: Erica Kirk forced to address absurd JD vance rumors.
43:29
Speaker 2: Alex Stein joins me next Welcome back Now.
43:42
Speaker 3: Pop star Beyonce and jay Z turned heads, or to
43:46
Speaker 3: be more accurate, Beyonce turned heads with her outfish at
43:50
Speaker 3: the Las Vegas Formula one event bringing comedian and fashionista
44:02
Speaker 3: Alex Stein. Alex, your verdict on Beyonce's latest look?
44:07
Speaker 10: I like it. I think she looks good.
44:09
Speaker 6: Now, jay Z he needs some work.
44:11
Speaker 13: I feel like jay Z is not a very handsome man,
44:13
Speaker 13: and I'm not trying to attack jay Z, but I
44:15
Speaker 13: do think Beyonce from Houston, Texas my state, even though
44:19
Speaker 13: she is crazy, you know, I'm a man. She's showing
44:22
Speaker 13: him off, you know, and God, we need more work.
44:25
Speaker 2: You're forgiving.
44:27
Speaker 3: You're obviously forgiving all the campaignings she did for Kamala Harris,
44:31
Speaker 3: turning up to that rally, fooling people into thinking she
44:35
Speaker 3: was going to perform.
44:36
Speaker 2: That's why the crowds turned up. They thought they were
44:38
Speaker 2: getting a free concert.
44:39
Speaker 3: And then she just gave some awful speech for about
44:41
Speaker 3: three minutes and disappeared.
44:44
Speaker 2: So you forget, You've forgiven all of that, So you
44:46
Speaker 2: are very shallow, indeed, Alex Stein.
44:48
Speaker 3: Now I want to ask you about Morgan Gazer, who
44:51
Speaker 3: was captured, thankfully by Illinois police after she cut off
44:55
Speaker 3: her ankle bracelet monitoring device and fled.
44:59
Speaker 2: This girl's only to twenty three.
45:01
Speaker 10: I thought she was.
45:02
Speaker 3: Still behind bars for repeatedly stabbing a classmate to supposedly
45:07
Speaker 3: appease slender Man. You'll remember that case. Slender Man a
45:11
Speaker 3: fictional character. It's a case Alex that shocked and fascinated
45:16
Speaker 3: America in the world. There's been documentaries, there's been films
45:20
Speaker 3: about it, and this girl was just able to cut
45:24
Speaker 3: off an ankle monitor and disappear.
45:27
Speaker 6: Well, yeah, Rita.
45:28
Speaker 13: You know, the kind of creepiest and weirdest part of
45:30
Speaker 13: this whole incident is that when she was twelve years old,
45:33
Speaker 13: you know, and she stabbed this woman with her and
45:36
Speaker 13: her friend stabbed another young girl and they were lucky
45:39
Speaker 13: that the person that they stabbed lived because they got
45:42
Speaker 13: a lighter in the less harsh sentence if the person died.
45:45
Speaker 13: So I think that we're going to continue to see
45:48
Speaker 13: Morgan do this kind of thing.
45:49
Speaker 12: You know.
45:49
Speaker 6: Obviously she has some sort.
45:50
Speaker 13: Of mental illness to stab anybody, especially at twelve, to
45:54
Speaker 13: be that violent and influenced by you know, scary movies
45:59
Speaker 13: or you know, fiction or people telling them to do stuff. Obviously,
46:02
Speaker 13: she's very mentally ill. So I think we're going to
46:04
Speaker 13: continue to see her in the news. And she's basically
46:07
Speaker 13: been raised in a prison, so she probably doesn't even
46:09
Speaker 13: know how to function in the outside world, you know,
46:11
Speaker 13: growing up in group home. So it's not a good situation.
46:14
Speaker 13: And I don't feel too bad for her, But I
46:16
Speaker 13: know she was a kid, so people can't change. But
46:19
Speaker 13: you know, there is a saying, you know, zebra can't
46:21
Speaker 13: change her stripes too.
46:24
Speaker 3: I know she was terribly young, but I think at
46:26
Speaker 3: that age, you know, repeatedly stabbing someone is not a
46:29
Speaker 3: good idea.
46:29
Speaker 2: So I think she knew what she was doing was wrong.
46:33
Speaker 2: Now this, I can't believe that Erica Kirkaus they even
46:36
Speaker 2: had to address this, but she's addressed the controversy around
46:41
Speaker 2: hugging the Vice President JD. Vance.
46:44
Speaker 3: It was the most absurd conspiracy theories I've heard all year,
46:49
Speaker 3: all these lefties suggesting she had acted inappropriately and that
46:54
Speaker 3: there was something happening between her and JD.
46:57
Speaker 2: Vans. I'm going to play you the full hug. You
47:00
Speaker 2: know precisely what triggered thousands of lefties. That's it, That's
47:13
Speaker 2: the whole thing.
47:14
Speaker 3: But the fact that she put her hand on his
47:17
Speaker 3: head gave birth to so many vile videos alex from
47:22
Speaker 3: lefties suggesting that she's having an affair and that she'd
47:25
Speaker 3: crossed the line and that usher Vance was absolutely furious
47:31
Speaker 3: and there were so many ridiculous tags that overnight. Erica
47:35
Speaker 3: Kirk addressed the issue with Megan Kelly, forgive me.
47:39
Speaker 11: Did you see people didn't understand the hug that you
47:42
Speaker 11: and JD had?
47:44
Speaker 4: They went to the weirdest places Erica, my gosh, you guys.
47:49
Speaker 1: Please.
47:50
Speaker 12: So for those of you who know me, I never
47:52
Speaker 12: I'm a very.
47:55
Speaker 10: I love I hug.
47:57
Speaker 2: You're an intense hugger.
47:58
Speaker 12: Last is like heating on a hugh needs a hug themselves.
48:01
Speaker 12: I will give you a free hug anytime you want
48:04
Speaker 12: to hug. My love language is touch if you will,
48:07
Speaker 12: but seriously that hug, so I will give you a
48:10
Speaker 12: play by play walking They just played the emotional video.
48:15
Speaker 12: I'm walking over, he's walking over. I'm starting to cry.
48:19
Speaker 2: He says he's so proud of you, and I say, God,
48:23
Speaker 2: bless you.
48:24
Speaker 12: And I touched the back of his head. Anyone who
48:26
Speaker 12: if I have hugged that, I have touched the back
48:28
Speaker 12: of your head When I hug you, I always say
48:31
Speaker 12: God bless you.
48:33
Speaker 10: That's just me.
48:34
Speaker 12: If you want to take that out of context, go
48:36
Speaker 12: right ahead again. That to me shows that you need
48:38
Speaker 12: a hug more than anyone else.
48:40
Speaker 15: So if anyone they were acting like you touch the.
48:43
Speaker 12: Back of his ass, I feel like I wouldn't get
48:48
Speaker 12: as much hate if I did that versus alex What
48:51
Speaker 12: can you say.
48:52
Speaker 2: I just feel so bad that she had to address that.
48:56
Speaker 13: You know, I'm happy that Erica did address it and
48:58
Speaker 13: laugh at all, because it's absolutely totally ridiculous. And you know,
49:01
Speaker 13: let's be real, she just lost her husband, she's grieving,
49:04
Speaker 13: and she's having an emotional moment with the Vice President
49:08
Speaker 13: of the United States. So the fact that she gave
49:09
Speaker 13: him a hug and people want to create all these
49:11
Speaker 13: fake narratives is absolutely absurd. And people will take any
49:14
Speaker 13: sort of shot at Charlie's legacy. And this is another
49:17
Speaker 13: case where all these people got clout for, you know,
49:20
Speaker 13: commenting on Charlie's death. Now they're trying to go after Erica.
49:22
Speaker 13: It's absolutely disgusting and nothing was inappropriately done whatsoever.
49:26
Speaker 3: Well said Alex Stein. Thank you for your time, and
49:29
Speaker 3: that's all the time I've got tonight. I'll see you
49:32
Speaker 3: tomorrow at eleven up. Next, it's Newsnight.
