- 0:08Speaker 3: Good evening and welcome to the Riata Panicky Show. Coming
- 0:11Speaker 3: up tonight, Victoria exposed as a fiscal basket case as
- 0:16Speaker 3: the Allen government blames its economic woes on Donald Trump.
- 0:21Speaker 3: My panel will join me to cover today's top headlines.
- 0:24Speaker 3: Why Megan Markle was an inviter to this year's met Gala.
- 0:28Speaker 4: D D.
- 0:29Speaker 5: Dun Levy will be here with entertainment news.
- 0:32Speaker 3: John Heindereiker will have the latest from the US, including
- 0:36Speaker 3: Secretary of State Marco Rubio finding yet another job, and
- 0:41Speaker 3: later in the hour, the disturbing new TikTok trend showing
- 0:45Speaker 3: how callous young people can be. I'll get Alex Stein's
- 0:49Speaker 3: take on that, and talking about callous lefties losing it
- 0:53Speaker 3: features this pink head woman hoping for an assassination.
- 0:58Speaker 6: I don't want to hear about another fact nation temp
- 1:00Speaker 6: unless it was successful. Keep that off my timeline until
- 1:05Speaker 6: there is success in the air.
- 1:07Speaker 3: But first, if you want to know what life will
- 1:10Speaker 3: be like under a federal labor government that remains in
- 1:13Speaker 3: power term after term after term, then just look no
- 1:17Speaker 3: further than the Great State of Victoria.
- 1:20Speaker 5: It's a little preview of where Australia.
- 1:22Speaker 3: Is heading under the Albanese government, and the Victorian government
- 1:26Speaker 3: has unveiled its pre election budget and no surprises for
- 1:30Speaker 3: those who've been paying attention. Victoria is a fiscal basket case.
- 1:35Speaker 3: When Dan Andrews came to power back in twenty fourteen,
- 1:39Speaker 3: the state's net debt was just over twenty billion dollars.
- 1:42Speaker 3: It is now heading towards two hundred billion dollars by
- 1:46Speaker 3: twenty thirty. State taxes are crippling businesses and households, But
- 1:51Speaker 3: rather than take blame for the state's debt crisis, the
- 1:55Speaker 3: Allen government is pointing the finger at US President Donald Trump.
- 2:00Speaker 2: Is Donald Trump to blame for Victoria's state budget? The
- 2:03Speaker 2: US president and the war in the Middle East are
- 2:05Speaker 2: mentioned a number of times in these five thick books,
- 2:09Speaker 2: mainly to do with higher inflation and rising interest rates,
- 2:13Speaker 2: which are affecting Victoria's bottom line.
- 2:15Speaker 7: Why why is it all Donald Trump's fat?
- 2:19Speaker 8: In terms of it feels like every paper I open,
- 2:22Speaker 8: you're blaming Donald Trumps.
- 2:23Speaker 2: It's material, long story short, We're spending more money, We're
- 2:27Speaker 2: also collecting more in tact.
- 2:29Speaker 3: Joining me now is former Labor MP Michael Danby and
- 2:33Speaker 3: VERV Communications Pro McSween Pro. I'll start with you. This
- 2:39Speaker 3: is a little pathetic, isn't it? From labor. They've been
- 2:41Speaker 3: in power for twelve years, and they've also been in
- 2:46Speaker 3: power twenty three of the last twenty six years in
- 2:49Speaker 3: this state, and they still want to blame Donald Trump
- 2:53Speaker 3: for our perilous financial position.
- 2:55Speaker 9: Well, it's not surprising because isn't that labour one oh one?
- 2:58Speaker 9: At the moment it's an inconvenient truth. But it's convenient
- 3:02Speaker 9: to labor because Trump is you know, the boogie man
- 3:06Speaker 9: for everything. But you know, I have to say that
- 3:09Speaker 9: the treasurer Treasurer of Victoria, Jacqueline Syme, must be practicing
- 3:14Speaker 9: to be a stand up comedian when she said this
- 3:17Speaker 9: doesn't got budget is disciplined making life easier, safer and
- 3:22Speaker 9: more affordable. Give us our break. You know, it's all
- 3:26Speaker 9: smoke and mirrors. You know, it's just an amazing assault
- 3:31Speaker 9: on the intelligence of the Victorian public. And if they
- 3:34Speaker 9: fall for this when they're really just paying through the nose,
- 3:38Speaker 9: it's just labour one oh one, isn't it. You know
- 3:41Speaker 9: you've got charmers hiding all sorts of spending and saying
- 3:45Speaker 9: it's unavoidable costs they're not even counted for in the
- 3:49Speaker 9: federal budget. And this same mob is doing it here
- 3:52Speaker 9: in Victoria. It's quite disgraceful.
- 3:56Speaker 3: And again Michael Labor's given us a little preview in
- 3:59Speaker 3: Victoria what happens when you go after property investors. They
- 4:03Speaker 3: have done that in this state by land tax while
- 4:06Speaker 3: all sorts of tenancy laws, and we've seen landlords exit
- 4:11Speaker 3: the market and property prices stagnate. Now, some on the
- 4:16Speaker 3: socialist left of the Labor Party might think that's a
- 4:19Speaker 3: good thing, but it's actually causing all sorts of economic pain.
- 4:23Speaker 3: And we might say exactly the same thing on the
- 4:26Speaker 3: federal level. If they follow through with these capital gains
- 4:28Speaker 3: tax changes and negative gearing changes.
- 4:31Speaker 10: Well we're lucky that the ratings agencies have been so soft,
- 4:35Speaker 10: particularly on Victoria. But also think on nationally. I think
- 4:39Speaker 10: they think that the two hundred million dollar debt that
- 4:41Speaker 10: you mentioned in your intro is going to eventually be
- 4:44Speaker 10: paid off by Elbow and Co. In other words, the
- 4:47Speaker 10: Australian tax base. So it's a concern to every Australian.
- 4:50Speaker 10: In addition to land tax and all of the things
- 4:52Speaker 10: you're talking about in Victoria. I've just been told that
- 4:55Speaker 10: the congestion tax has increased seventy percent. More cafe owner
- 5:01Speaker 10: in Collingwood, it'll drive you out of business. Your two
- 5:05Speaker 10: parking spaces have gone from thirteen hundred to two thousand
- 5:08Speaker 10: and each. So congratulations, Jacklin signed for slugging the small
- 5:14Speaker 10: business people more.
- 5:15Speaker 3: And this all is happening at a time when we're
- 5:18Speaker 3: seeing interest rates go up. The RBA handed down a
- 5:21Speaker 3: third consecutive interest rate hike yesterday, increasing the cash rate
- 5:25Speaker 3: to four point three five percent. In a press conference
- 5:29Speaker 3: following the decision, RBA Governor Michelle Bullock finally, finally, this
- 5:35Speaker 3: is better late than ever, he'd say. She finally called
- 5:39Speaker 3: out the Alban Eazy government for contributing to Australia's inflation crisis.
- 5:45Speaker 8: When governments are spending a lot of money and we're
- 5:49Speaker 8: running up against capacity constraints, then they do need to
- 5:54Speaker 8: think about whether or not there's ways they can help
- 5:57Speaker 8: the inflation problem by looking for ways to constrain demand.
- 6:05Speaker 3: Michael, Finally, but we have inflationary pressure due to government spending.
- 6:13Speaker 3: The RBA keeps punishing mortgage holders or already hurting who
- 6:17Speaker 3: are already feeling the pain of a cost of living crisis,
- 6:22Speaker 3: and they seem to be terrified of stating the bleeding
- 6:27Speaker 3: obvious that this increased, this mad government spending is adding
- 6:32Speaker 3: inflationary pressure and they've just got the one tool at
- 6:37Speaker 3: their disposal, which is interest rates.
- 6:39Speaker 10: We've got a Finance minister, Katie Gallagher, you saw at
- 6:42Speaker 10: Senate estimates couldn't tell the difference between net and gross debt.
- 6:47Speaker 10: So we have a problem that neither of them are
- 6:50Speaker 10: Paul Keating or let alone Peter Costello. So that the
- 6:54Speaker 10: answer to this inflationary pressure from the government prior to
- 6:59Speaker 10: the war and in the Middle East is a serious
- 7:02Speaker 10: cut in government expenditures net cut, not gross cuts, and
- 7:06Speaker 10: not fake cuts that Jim Chalmers is highlighting the whole time.
- 7:12Speaker 3: True, do you fear that with these sort of interest
- 7:16Speaker 3: rate increases that are going to put further strain on
- 7:20Speaker 3: people who are already hurting, could possibly plunge this country
- 7:24Speaker 3: into a recession.
- 7:25Speaker 9: I think it's guaranteed, Rita. I think we've been there
- 7:29Speaker 9: really for a while, but you know it's been hidden
- 7:32Speaker 9: or you know, we don't want to say the R word,
- 7:35Speaker 9: but you know, Australians are doing it so tough. They've
- 7:39Speaker 9: been lied to for so long, and now the chickens
- 7:43Speaker 9: are coming home to roost, and sadly we see it
- 7:46Speaker 9: that homeless numbers are going through the roof. Everybody you know,
- 7:51Speaker 9: is pulling their belt in tighter and wondering how the
- 7:54Speaker 9: hell they're going to be paying off their mortgage or
- 7:57Speaker 9: their rent, and the cost of living is just exploding.
- 8:00Speaker 9: Labor has no way of handling it. They look at
- 8:05Speaker 9: Charmers is going to send a hand out more money
- 8:08Speaker 9: two to three hundred bucks to people who are wage
- 8:11Speaker 9: earners and it's described as a grand an earned income.
- 8:17Speaker 5: Offset by Albanezi. What does that even mean?
- 8:20Speaker 9: You know, they took this gobblygook to try and kid
- 8:24Speaker 9: people and con them. But you know, let's hope people
- 8:27Speaker 9: don't fall for it. Getting a handout of two hundred
- 8:30Speaker 9: bucks to three hundred bucks when they're paying so much
- 8:33Speaker 9: more for their groceries, groceries, for everything else. It's just
- 8:37Speaker 9: smoke and mirrors. It's a con and people need to
- 8:40Speaker 9: wake up. They're voting for this customy mortgage, waiting for
- 8:45Speaker 9: more horror of horror story.
- 8:49Speaker 3: Well, yeah, your factoring in how much the average mortgage
- 8:52Speaker 3: has gone up in Australia since labor came into power,
- 8:55Speaker 3: and you know, any sort of little handout of your
- 8:59Speaker 3: own money they give you as a drop in the ocean. Now,
- 9:03Speaker 3: one of Australia's richest men has accused the government of
- 9:06Speaker 3: destroying the futures of young Australians if they go ahead
- 9:10Speaker 3: with their changes to the capital gains tax discount. A
- 9:13Speaker 3: proposal put forward by Treasury suggests the discount be scrapped
- 9:17Speaker 3: and replaced with inflation indexation for all assets that include shares, businesses, farms.
- 9:24Speaker 3: The government claims this is in the interest of young
- 9:27Speaker 3: people that is going to combat what it calls intergenerational inequity,
- 9:32Speaker 3: but asset manager Jeff Wilson wrote on x this isn't reform,
- 9:36Speaker 3: it's a direct assault on aspiration, risk taking and wealth creation.
- 9:41Speaker 3: Younger Australians locked out of property and relying on equities
- 9:45Speaker 3: and entrepreneurship, get hammered hardest while the government lectures about
- 9:51Speaker 3: intergenerational equity prue. He also said Australia doesn't need more
- 9:57Speaker 3: tax grabs, but should be focusing on more productivity, innovation
- 10:01Speaker 3: and incentives for private investment. It's hard to argue against
- 10:06Speaker 3: any of that, but we do have a government full
- 10:09Speaker 3: of people who've really never seemed to have worked a
- 10:12Speaker 3: day in the public sector, certainly not haven't run their
- 10:15Speaker 3: own businesses or created anything.
- 10:17Speaker 9: Well, this government's put hurdles in front of every business
- 10:21Speaker 9: when you look at the ir rules, the fact that
- 10:24Speaker 9: you know, we just saw thousands of unionists marching through
- 10:28Speaker 9: the streets this weekend wanting more wages, but business can't
- 10:33Speaker 9: afford it. You know, when we look at the productivity,
- 10:36Speaker 9: the levels that have gone down in this country, the
- 10:39Speaker 9: penalizing of business with red tape, green tape, black tape,
- 10:44Speaker 9: it's just absurd. Why would anyone want to invest in
- 10:48Speaker 9: this country? And then you have this ridiculous situation where
- 10:52Speaker 9: anybody who's aspirational, who thinks that pulling up their sleeves
- 10:56Speaker 9: and working hard and being rewarded is a good thing,
- 11:00Speaker 9: government's going to take fifty percent of your wages and
- 11:02Speaker 9: there is no incentive to try and be aspirational these days.
- 11:08Speaker 9: And these poor buggers this generate intergenerational equity, well it's
- 11:13Speaker 9: inequity because you know they're going to be the rent vestors,
- 11:17Speaker 9: the people who are trying to get into the housing
- 11:19Speaker 9: market because people are going to leave their investment properties,
- 11:23Speaker 9: supply will be less and of course their prices will
- 11:26Speaker 9: go up. The whole thing is synonymous with the government
- 11:29Speaker 9: has no idea about economic management.
- 11:33Speaker 3: And this has happened in the past. They've taken these
- 11:35Speaker 3: sorts of measures, seen rent skyrocket, seen supply be impacted negatively,
- 11:41Speaker 3: and sometimes they go backwards, they do a U turn.
- 11:43Speaker 3: But I don't know is the alb and easy government.
- 11:46Speaker 10: Wells had written a book not about the style in
- 11:52Speaker 10: Parliament of Paul Keating, but about the content of what
- 11:54Speaker 10: he did. You know, I mean, first of all, as
- 11:59Speaker 10: Pruce said, you know that these dopes have reinstituted pattern
- 12:02Speaker 10: bargaining into industrial relations that means across whole industries rather
- 12:07Speaker 10: than on the basis of enterprise, as Bill Kelty and
- 12:10Speaker 10: Paul Keating worked out should be done. We should go
- 12:13Speaker 10: back to that. And look, I despair for young people
- 12:17Speaker 10: are just going to be paying higher rents and to
- 12:20Speaker 10: get into the mortgage market, they'll be paying higher mortgages.
- 12:23Speaker 5: Because of.
- 12:25Speaker 10: The crush of government expenditure on public money to Australia.
- 12:30Speaker 3: Able to use property to build wealth in the manner
- 12:34Speaker 3: of other generations have done, which again adds to that
- 12:38Speaker 3: the whole intergeneration.
- 12:40Speaker 10: And who does it affect reader, It's the small investors
- 12:44Speaker 10: who have a second property or maybe a third property.
- 12:47Speaker 10: All of the people who came to Australia with aspirations
- 12:49Speaker 10: from different places, the Greeks, the Italians, the crow Arts everyone.
- 12:54Speaker 10: It's very unfair.
- 12:56Speaker 3: The coalition with an incredible opportunity if they can can
- 13:00Speaker 3: get their act together and figure out precisely what they
- 13:03Speaker 3: stand for, because you're right, there are so many in
- 13:06Speaker 3: the migrant community who are not only socially conservative, they're aspirational.
- 13:11Speaker 3: They want to build wealth, they want their kids to
- 13:13Speaker 3: be financial.
- 13:14Speaker 10: I think Jim Chalmers thinks that there's no older people
- 13:17Speaker 10: who vote labor. I remember them when they were having
- 13:19Speaker 10: to try to force that fringe benefits tax on people
- 13:22Speaker 10: bringing me up, policemen, principles, nurses abusing me saying, look,
- 13:28Speaker 10: we'd like to vote l but we can't if you
- 13:29Speaker 10: introduce these iniquitous taxes on older people. He says it's
- 13:33Speaker 10: not intergenerational, But in my view, these tactics are very
- 13:37Speaker 10: into generational against older voters.
- 13:41Speaker 3: Michael dan Biprue, Thanks Reazween, Thank you so much for
- 13:44Speaker 3: your time. Joining me now is broadcaster and Sky News
- 13:47Speaker 3: contributor d D dune Levy, Edie. I'm keen to get
- 13:50Speaker 3: your reaction to some of the stunts at the met Gala.
- 13:54Speaker 5: Have a look here.
- 13:55Speaker 3: At actress Sarah Paulson, who wore a dollar bill blind
- 14:00Speaker 3: halt over her eyes. Did he This was postposally a
- 14:04Speaker 3: protest against the super rich the one percent? The question
- 14:09Speaker 3: is is she the dumbest actress in Hollywood? I mean
- 14:13Speaker 3: this event is for the one percent. Jeff Bezos was.
- 14:16Speaker 9: The co host.
- 14:18Speaker 5: His name was on the invitations.
- 14:20Speaker 11: Yeah, number one. Who even is she? I had to
- 14:24Speaker 11: actually look up what show she'd been in it. But honestly,
- 14:26Speaker 11: the Medgala was such a parade of d listers. Really,
- 14:30Speaker 11: Nicole Kidman and maybe Margo Robbie were the two biggest
- 14:33Speaker 11: names there. It's just not an a list event anymore.
- 14:36Speaker 11: And this stupid woman is wearing a gown that's probably
- 14:40Speaker 11: the best part of twenty thousand dollars about to go
- 14:42Speaker 11: into an event, as you said, one hundred thousand dollars
- 14:45Speaker 11: just to get in and go and stuff your face.
- 14:46Speaker 11: And I don't imagine they can dance with the shoes
- 14:49Speaker 11: on they were wearing.
- 14:49Speaker 5: I don't reckon they would even feed them.
- 14:51Speaker 3: Apparently, the entire production, the entire point is that red
- 14:56Speaker 3: carpet we look at.
- 14:57Speaker 5: Wants to go in there.
- 14:58Speaker 3: I've heard interviews with a couple of people who've attended
- 15:01Speaker 3: these things and they said, it's actually inside everyone's uncomfortable.
- 15:05Speaker 5: There's no food.
- 15:06Speaker 3: Everyone's just sort of standing around waiting to get changed
- 15:09Speaker 3: so they could wear something where they can actually move
- 15:12Speaker 3: around exactly.
- 15:13Speaker 11: Well, they're all sort of squished into these gowns and
- 15:15Speaker 11: they're all on the jab anyway, So Odie wants to
- 15:17Speaker 11: eat and they're teetering on these heels. But this silly woman,
- 15:21Speaker 11: Sarah Paulsen, she's wearing a mask that's supposedly having a
- 15:24Speaker 11: go at the one percent, the billionaires, the very rich
- 15:27Speaker 11: people on the planet.
- 15:29Speaker 5: At the same time, there were protests outside the met gala.
- 15:32Speaker 11: There was one that they managed to stymy just before,
- 15:34Speaker 11: where people had hidden urine inside the museum. That's going
- 15:38Speaker 11: to be some sort of a protest at Jeff Bezos
- 15:40Speaker 11: at Amazon, where there are claims that workers aren't even
- 15:43Speaker 11: getting proper toilet brakes. So if she wants to make
- 15:45Speaker 11: a point. If she wants to protest, how about listening
- 15:48Speaker 11: to what those people are saying. And you know, Jeff
- 15:50Speaker 11: Bezos says hated by the working class. How about backing
- 15:54Speaker 11: those people instead of going in and sticking.
- 15:56Speaker 5: Oh, how about.
- 15:57Speaker 3: Giving your ticket to one of those protests, perhaps or taking.
- 16:01Speaker 5: Them as your date.
- 16:01Speaker 3: I mean, there's a lot of things you could do
- 16:04Speaker 3: rather than wear a dollar bill across your eyes and
- 16:06Speaker 3: think you're making a profound point. One more from the
- 16:10Speaker 3: Metgalak Rachel Zegla. She is known for losing Disney millions
- 16:16Speaker 3: after her Woke snow White adaptation bombed last year.
- 16:20Speaker 5: Have a look at.
- 16:21Speaker 3: Her on the Red carpet. Much has been said about
- 16:24Speaker 3: her chin work.
- 16:40Speaker 5: Ah.
- 16:41Speaker 3: Yeah, that has inspired comics to create content like this.
- 16:58Speaker 5: What is happening there with Rachel?
- 17:00Speaker 3: I've got my own ideas, but perhaps for litigation purposes,
- 17:03Speaker 3: I shouldn't say what they are.
- 17:06Speaker 5: I actually can't tell you what's going on now. I'm
- 17:07Speaker 5: not a doctor.
- 17:08Speaker 3: I mean, it's not like she's a novice of Red carpets.
- 17:11Speaker 3: She's done a million of them. She knows the deal.
- 17:14Speaker 5: So what was she doing there with her chin? She
- 17:17Speaker 5: looks like she needs some medical help. Was she gasping
- 17:20Speaker 5: for air the goldfish or something? I don't know.
- 17:23Speaker 11: And her costume was apparently some reference to Lady Gray
- 17:26Speaker 11: who was beheaded in the Tower of London and she
- 17:30Speaker 11: was about to be have a head lopped off. She
- 17:33Speaker 11: protested that she was like this innocent victim. Was that
- 17:35Speaker 11: supposed to be her?
- 17:36Speaker 3: I mean, well, that's it because she is the world's
- 17:38Speaker 3: biggest victim, so that could be very an artwork that
- 17:42Speaker 3: communicates her.
- 17:44Speaker 5: I did love the theme this year.
- 17:45Speaker 3: I think that was the one thing they hit out
- 17:47Speaker 3: of the ballpark was the theme, and a few of
- 17:50Speaker 3: the attendees went over and above Heidi Clume as always,
- 17:55Speaker 3: just make sure she's not a costume. She loves the
- 17:58Speaker 3: costume and she's not afraid to making herself look ugly,
- 18:01Speaker 3: which not many women would on the red carpet. But no,
- 18:05Speaker 3: she looked one hundred and but spectacular costume. Now, there's
- 18:10Speaker 3: been a lot of rumor circulating as to why Meghan
- 18:13Speaker 3: Markle wasn't invited to this year's event, and your report
- 18:16Speaker 3: suggests that Markol had previously thought ill of Jeff Bezos's wife,
- 18:21Speaker 3: Lauren Sanchez DDY. Once source told Raider Online Meghan thought
- 18:26Speaker 3: Lauren was loud, thirsty, and painfully performative.
- 18:30Speaker 5: Oh that sounds familiar, Meghan.
- 18:32Speaker 3: She smiled to her face, then tore her apart behind
- 18:35Speaker 3: her back. Lauren was never someone Meghan took seriously. I mean,
- 18:41Speaker 3: but when you marry a man worth about one hundred
- 18:44Speaker 3: two three hundred billion, whatever it is, well, people take
- 18:47Speaker 3: you seriously.
- 18:47Speaker 5: Suddenly.
- 18:48Speaker 11: Yeah, we'll look the states back to when Meghan was
- 18:52Speaker 11: still part of the royal family before megs it. And
- 18:54Speaker 11: I trust Rob Suitor, who's a Hollywood reporter, and his
- 18:58Speaker 11: apparent inside word is that Megan would smile to Lauren
- 19:01Speaker 11: Sanchez's face before she was hooked up pardon the expression
- 19:06Speaker 11: with Jeff Bezos, before they know it became common knowledge
- 19:10Speaker 11: that they were going to be an item and long
- 19:12Speaker 11: before they got married, but that Meghan would trash talk
- 19:15Speaker 11: Lauren Sanchez behind her back. But now that Lauren Sanchez
- 19:18Speaker 11: is holding all of the power and Meghan is apparently
- 19:23Speaker 11: sending her cards and letters and trying to get into
- 19:26Speaker 11: good books.
- 19:26Speaker 3: Probably sending her jam that terrible strawberry jam.
- 19:31Speaker 5: Yes, goodness me yeah, what's it called?
- 19:34Speaker 3: As ever, the products the product range there now fresh
- 19:38Speaker 3: off her settlement with Justin Baldoni. Blake Lively went viral,
- 19:43Speaker 3: with fans calling her a diva as she was seen
- 19:46Speaker 3: snapping at Medgala's staff while they handled her long dress.
- 19:51Speaker 3: I've got to say, she's as bold as brass, this one,
- 19:54Speaker 3: turning up to this event in the first place, turned
- 19:57Speaker 3: up alone. Her movie star husband wasn't there. She must
- 20:01Speaker 3: know she's viewed very differently these days.
- 20:04Speaker 11: Look, people have very good I was going to say,
- 20:06Speaker 11: I swear word, but they've got meters built into them,
- 20:09Speaker 11: fierce meters where they can smell when someone is inauthentic.
- 20:14Speaker 11: And Blake lovely is that everyone knows now that she's
- 20:16Speaker 11: a liar and a bully. And you know she had
- 20:19Speaker 11: these four people attending to her train on the red carpet.
- 20:23Speaker 5: I mean, I just could not in.
- 20:24Speaker 11: Any world expect four people to be rushing after me.
- 20:27Speaker 11: I know you could do it, attending to her very
- 20:31Speaker 11: need How could you get that right?
- 20:32Speaker 12: Yeah?
- 20:33Speaker 11: I know you could, but you know you can't cover
- 20:36Speaker 11: up her nastiness with all these layers of tool, and
- 20:39Speaker 11: she was dismissive of them. There are people going, oh,
- 20:41Speaker 11: she's a boss lady, and I don't agree.
- 20:44Speaker 5: I think she was just.
- 20:44Speaker 3: Played well for a long time, she had everyone fooled
- 20:47Speaker 3: because before this entire mean girl's theory came about, she
- 20:52Speaker 3: was a theid girl. Everyone adored her. She was best
- 20:57Speaker 3: friends with Taylor Swift. She was as cool as anyone.
- 21:00Speaker 3: She was married to a movie star and considered a
- 21:04Speaker 3: heavy hitter, not just as an actress.
- 21:06Speaker 11: So he's the I mean, really, she's only known for
- 21:08Speaker 11: Gossip Girl, and that was a TV show, and it's
- 21:11Speaker 11: only because of Ryan Reynoldson because he is, you know,
- 21:13Speaker 11: apparently he's worth four hundred million. She's independently value little
- 21:17Speaker 11: less than that, twenty maybe thirty million. But he's the
- 21:22Speaker 11: reason that she has any clout. But people have backed
- 21:26Speaker 11: away from her. Nobody wants anything to do with her.
- 21:28Speaker 11: It's going to be really difficult for her now to
- 21:31Speaker 11: get any sort of career reignited because who would want Well,
- 21:35Speaker 11: I'm going to ask.
- 21:35Speaker 3: You about that is because this entire clash with Baldoni,
- 21:40Speaker 3: the way it's concluded has been reported as a mutual agreement,
- 21:45Speaker 3: as if they both decided let's just go our separate ways.
- 21:49Speaker 5: No one's a winner, no one's a loser.
- 21:51Speaker 3: Well, justin Baldoni's lawyer, Brian Friedman, has a very different tag.
- 21:55Speaker 3: He says his client is the clear winner in this
- 21:58Speaker 3: legal war.
- 22:00Speaker 13: Let's put it this way.
- 22:01Speaker 4: Justin Valdoni didn't settle the case technically, if you think
- 22:05Speaker 4: about it, Justin Valdoni won the case on summary judgment.
- 22:10Speaker 4: He was accused of sexual harassment.
- 22:14Speaker 13: Those were.
- 22:16Speaker 4: Claims that you can not settle. That you have to
- 22:20Speaker 4: go all the way or his career is over. So
- 22:24Speaker 4: you want to talk about it, is this a victory
- 22:26Speaker 4: or not? It's a huge victory. Was a huge victory
- 22:29Speaker 4: after the summary judgment rule it.
- 22:33Speaker 3: Well, where does this leave Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni,
- 22:37Speaker 3: Because you could argue his reputation has taken a hit
- 22:40Speaker 3: as well.
- 22:41Speaker 11: I actually think he'll come out of it better than
- 22:42Speaker 11: she will. So she's reliant on any producer, director, film
- 22:47Speaker 11: studio supplying her with the work. He's known more now,
- 22:52Speaker 11: probably as a director than an actor. It was a
- 22:54Speaker 11: reasonable actor, and the movie was pretty good, and the
- 22:56Speaker 11: movie did make money. He holds the rights to the prequel.
- 23:00Speaker 11: Don't think that will ever get maked. I don't know
- 23:01Speaker 11: how that ever cast it. But because he owns his
- 23:04Speaker 11: own studio. That means he can create his own work,
- 23:08Speaker 11: and so people don't really care who's making the movies.
- 23:11Speaker 11: They just want to know if a movie is good
- 23:12Speaker 11: or not. So I actually think he and given that
- 23:15Speaker 11: there is good will behind him because everyone sees what
- 23:18Speaker 11: he was put through, I think he'll do much better
- 23:20Speaker 11: out of it than she will.
- 23:22Speaker 3: You're right that I think people who have been paying
- 23:24Speaker 3: attention to this would see him as a bit of
- 23:26Speaker 3: a victim here. But he is also just a painful
- 23:30Speaker 3: malefeminist type, just spouting the most ridiculous nonsense. So you
- 23:34Speaker 3: know they deserve each other dead. He Dunlevy always a pleasure.
- 23:37Speaker 13: Thanks Y.
- 23:39Speaker 5: Still to come.
- 23:40Speaker 3: Left is losing ad plus all the laters from the US,
- 23:43Speaker 3: including Secretary of State Mircael Rubio finding yet another job.
- 23:48Speaker 3: John Heinderreicher is up next. You're watching the Reader Paney Show,
- 24:01Speaker 3: and it's time for Left.
- 24:03Speaker 5: He is losing it. Every year we.
- 24:05Speaker 3: See the weapon grade stupidity and excess of the met
- 24:08Speaker 3: Gala ball from the left's most hypocritical Champagne socialists. And
- 24:14Speaker 3: this next woman is world class when it comes to
- 24:17Speaker 3: hypocrisy and idiocy. Have a look at actress Sarah Pulson
- 24:22Speaker 3: here with her eyes covered with a dollar bill signifying
- 24:26Speaker 3: the rich taking advantage of the poor. She is bravely
- 24:30Speaker 3: calling out the one percent. Yes, she's calling out the
- 24:46Speaker 3: one percent. And an event co sponsored by a billionaire
- 24:50Speaker 3: and attended by the very rich and very famous, an
- 24:54Speaker 3: event where tickets cost upwards of one hundred thousand dollars.
- 24:59Speaker 5: You just know how to era.
- 25:00Speaker 3: Votes and those are sort of performative antics. Do they
- 25:04Speaker 3: remind you of anyone? Yep, AOC's met gala, hypocrisy may
- 25:18Speaker 3: have just been surpassed. Now, let's see how the young
- 25:22Speaker 3: folk are doing. The ones who were embracing social justice
- 25:25Speaker 3: and claim to be the most tolerant, loving, anti violent generation.
- 25:30Speaker 5: Wish they got it. Do you need to stop missing?
- 25:32Speaker 5: There was an assassination attempt on President Trump?
- 25:35Speaker 2: Did you hear it?
- 25:35Speaker 5: Yeah? Is so about it?
- 25:37Speaker 14: I did?
- 25:37Speaker 6: Yes? Yeah?
- 25:38Speaker 5: What's your initial thoughts? I wish they got it. People
- 25:40Speaker 5: just need to stop missing. Why do you miss?
- 25:43Speaker 15: Yeah?
- 25:44Speaker 12: He needs to be taken out like immediately.
- 25:45Speaker 3: When you do things that the people don't agree with,
- 25:47Speaker 3: they tend to fight back.
- 25:48Speaker 2: Farms real, you know what I'm saying.
- 25:50Speaker 5: It's happening to a lot of Americans, those people in power.
- 25:53Speaker 16: I know how it feels.
- 25:54Speaker 3: Oh, it only got worse, much, much worse. Watched Deborah
- 25:58Speaker 3: Lee interview these a full callous souls. She gives them
- 26:02Speaker 3: just enough rope and they go right ahead and hang themselves.
- 26:06Speaker 12: Seems like that person was obviously making a decision that
- 26:09Speaker 12: he felt really aligned with his values.
- 26:11Speaker 5: She was intent on killing the president.
- 26:13Speaker 12: I hope that he gets peace and the people who
- 26:15Speaker 12: feel affected by the president get peace.
- 26:17Speaker 5: Do you think political violence has ever justified?
- 26:20Speaker 1: Yeah, definitely, yes, Yes to a point, I would say, I.
- 26:24Speaker 6: Do think that it can be necessary and people shouldn't
- 26:26Speaker 6: be surprised when it does happen.
- 26:27Speaker 11: What have been your feeling if President Trump or anybody's
- 26:30Speaker 11: administration was assassinated, it.
- 26:32Speaker 3: Would be some kind of celebration for the American people.
- 26:35Speaker 3: And it's not just the very young watch of this
- 26:38Speaker 3: pink headed woman practically foe at the mouth wishing for
- 26:43Speaker 3: a successful assassination.
- 26:46Speaker 5: These people are sick.
- 26:48Speaker 6: I want to hear about another assassination. Tempt unless it
- 26:50Speaker 6: was successful, keep that off my timeline until their success
- 26:55Speaker 6: in the air.
- 26:56Speaker 5: Give me hype for nothing. We need to reason to
- 27:00Speaker 5: celebrate now.
- 27:03Speaker 3: To a young woman who has decided that the working
- 27:06Speaker 3: life ain't for her. It interferes with her lifestyle and
- 27:10Speaker 3: wellness goals.
- 27:12Speaker 12: Me too, honey, So I quit my job because I
- 27:16Speaker 12: can't take care of my basic needs and work forty
- 27:18Speaker 12: hours a week at the same time, I've almost been
- 27:21Speaker 12: fired from every job that I've ever had. And it's
- 27:23Speaker 12: not because I'm not smart. I actually tend to overperform
- 27:26Speaker 12: in the beginning. It's just that after some time, I
- 27:28Speaker 12: inevitably burnt out. Once I wake up one day and
- 27:31Speaker 12: realize that I haven't taken a shower in like three weeks.
- 27:34Speaker 12: If I could take care of my basic needs and
- 27:36Speaker 12: work full time, I would have done that by now
- 27:39Speaker 12: and then some it's just it's a form of self
- 27:42Speaker 12: sabotage to honestly be putting so much energy antise executive
- 27:46Speaker 12: functioning skills at work and not have anything left to
- 27:49Speaker 12: give myself. And it's like a part of me does
- 27:51Speaker 12: feel insane by quitting the virtual recession.
- 27:54Speaker 3: Oh honey, if you really didn't shower for three weeks,
- 27:58Speaker 3: it's your coworkers or the real winners there when you
- 28:01Speaker 3: quit that job. When did we create a generation that
- 28:04Speaker 3: is so incapable, so lacking in resilience. Let's go to
- 28:09Speaker 3: California now, where Maybe Pudlow and LGBTQ activist and drag
- 28:14Speaker 3: queen is running to become the first transgender California state senator.
- 28:19Speaker 3: I'm as shocked as you are that California doesn't already
- 28:22Speaker 3: have a trans legislator.
- 28:24Speaker 5: I thought they were all trans.
- 28:27Speaker 16: Ice needs to get the out of California. My name
- 28:30Speaker 16: is Maybe. I'm running for state center in the heart
- 28:32Speaker 16: of Los Angeles and East LA, and I will fight
- 28:34Speaker 16: for human rights in the state legislature. I've been working
- 28:37Speaker 16: with people experiencing homelessness for over a decade, volunteering at shelters,
- 28:41Speaker 16: being the Homelessness li is on for the Neighborhood Council,
- 28:44Speaker 16: and now being the operations manager for the Neighborhood Homeless Coalition.
- 28:47Speaker 16: I'm fighting to make California affordable, safe, and inclusive for all,
- 28:51Speaker 16: tuition free college, healthcare for all housing, for all renters' rights.
- 28:55Speaker 16: We can have all of these things we deserve, all
- 28:58Speaker 16: of these things. Keep fascism out of California.
- 29:01Speaker 3: Together, Let's bring in Center for the American Experiment. President
- 29:06Speaker 3: and co founder of the popular power line blog, John
- 29:09Speaker 3: Heindereika John California, It's different. It's in decay. Californians are
- 29:15Speaker 3: fleeing to red states, But California is likely to be
- 29:19Speaker 3: the home state of the next Democrat presidential candidate.
- 29:22Speaker 5: If the polls are accurate.
- 29:24Speaker 3: The two front runners are Kamala Harris and Gavin Newsom.
- 29:28Speaker 3: What does that tell you about the modern Democrats?
- 29:31Speaker 17: John Well, Kamala Harris won't be the nominee, but Gavin
- 29:35Speaker 17: Newsom probably will be, only because the Democrats don't have
- 29:39Speaker 17: anyone else. Their bench is very thin, and what is
- 29:43Speaker 17: true of all the Democrats is that they can't run
- 29:47Speaker 17: on their records. California is a disaster. Newsom has been
- 29:50Speaker 17: a failure. People, as you say, are fleeing the state,
- 29:53Speaker 17: but that's true of all the Democratic governors. There is
- 29:56Speaker 17: no blue state that people are moving into. And that
- 29:59Speaker 17: is the reality that underlies the Democrats lack of a
- 30:03Speaker 17: good candidate.
- 30:05Speaker 3: Now, Marco Rubio, the man who's many many roles, has
- 30:10Speaker 3: given birth to the greatest meme format of our time.
- 30:14Speaker 3: He has got one more role to add to his resume.
- 30:17Speaker 3: He filled in for White House Press Secretary Caroline Leavitt.
- 30:22Speaker 5: And he liked some questions more than others.
- 30:26Speaker 7: You've had a deep faith for garding country. At the
- 30:31Speaker 7: end of the day, with all of you, keep going,
- 30:33Speaker 7: you've been extremely busy.
- 30:34Speaker 18: Go ahead.
- 30:35Speaker 7: I'm sorry, as we all know, I got to ask you,
- 30:37Speaker 7: what is your hope for America at a time such
- 30:41Speaker 7: as this.
- 30:42Speaker 18: My hope for America and deal with that. Yeah, Look,
- 30:46Speaker 18: I mean my hope for America is what it's always been.
- 30:48Speaker 18: I think it's the hope I hope we all share.
- 30:50Speaker 18: We wanted to continue to be the place where anyone
- 30:52Speaker 18: from anywhere can achieve anything. Where you're not limited by
- 30:55Speaker 18: the circumstances of your birth, by the color of your skin,
- 30:58Speaker 18: by your ethnicity. But frankly, it's a place where you
- 31:00Speaker 18: you are able to overcome challenges and achieve your full potential.
- 31:03Speaker 18: I think that should be the goal of every country
- 31:04Speaker 18: in the world.
- 31:05Speaker 3: Frankly, John, the contrast with the Democrats couldn't be greater.
- 31:10Speaker 5: The Republicans have a deep talent pool.
- 31:12Speaker 3: You've got jd Vance. Many still considered him the clear
- 31:15Speaker 3: front runner. Ron DeSantis, the Florida governor Marco Rubio, of course,
- 31:21Speaker 3: all of them stellar presidential candidates.
- 31:25Speaker 17: Yeah, Rita as you know, I'm a big Marco Rubio fan.
- 31:28Speaker 6: JD.
- 31:29Speaker 17: Vance is also extremely talented, and Rod de Santis may
- 31:32Speaker 17: have the best record of any governor in American history.
- 31:35Speaker 17: What he has done in Florida is just fantastic. He
- 31:38Speaker 17: may not be charismatic enough to contend with guys like
- 31:42Speaker 17: Rubio Advance, but he too, would make a terrific president.
- 31:47Speaker 3: The Secretary of State also spoke about the Iranian regime
- 31:52Speaker 3: at length during this press conference, and he also talked
- 31:55Speaker 3: about the blockade.
- 31:57Speaker 18: There is no international law that allows you to say
- 31:59Speaker 18: I'm going to put minds in an international body of
- 32:01Speaker 18: water and I'm going to blow up ships that don't
- 32:03Speaker 18: listen to us and try to go through.
- 32:05Speaker 13: That's what Iron is doing.
- 32:07Speaker 18: This is a criminal act and someone needs to do
- 32:09Speaker 18: something about it. Something needs to be done. It's completely illegal,
- 32:12Speaker 18: completely illegitimate, and completely unacceptable. And that's why the United
- 32:16Speaker 18: States military is guiding stranded commercial ships safely through the
- 32:19Speaker 18: street and is working to restore freedom of navigation and
- 32:22Speaker 18: putting an end to these efforts to glow to hold
- 32:24Speaker 18: the global economy hostage.
- 32:26Speaker 3: John, how unrealistic is it for the Trump administration to
- 32:32Speaker 3: have this deeply fractured Iranian regime. To have any expectation
- 32:37Speaker 3: that it's going to abide by a pastill or an
- 32:40Speaker 3: agreement that he's struck.
- 32:43Speaker 17: I think it's completely unrealistic. I think the only thing
- 32:46Speaker 17: that matters there is military force. President Trump says that
- 32:49Speaker 17: we're now very close to an agreement with Iran, but
- 32:52Speaker 17: I don't think we have any idea even who will
- 32:54Speaker 17: be in power in Iran in six months. I think
- 32:58Speaker 17: in agreement that we might make, unless it could be
- 33:01Speaker 17: acted on right now, is useless. And we can assume
- 33:04Speaker 17: that any agreement that these people might make, they will
- 33:07Speaker 17: violate as soon as they can.
- 33:11Speaker 5: And Marco Rubio made the point that if.
- 33:13Speaker 3: Iran had a nuclear weapon, then it could hold the
- 33:16Speaker 3: world's economy hostage permanently by closing the Strait of Hormus
- 33:22Speaker 3: without any fear of strikes against it, and I think
- 33:26Speaker 3: the world is still.
- 33:27Speaker 5: Kind of in denial about that. John.
- 33:29Speaker 3: They still seem to think this war was unnecessary at
- 33:33Speaker 3: a bit of an indulgence from the Trump administration.
- 33:37Speaker 17: Well, what Rubio said is exactly right, and that's one
- 33:40Speaker 17: reason why it is so important that Iran not obtained
- 33:43Speaker 17: nuclear weapons because of Iran's size and its strategic location.
- 33:49Speaker 17: We cannot allow Iran to be another North Korea. That
- 33:53Speaker 17: would just be unacceptable for world security. And I think
- 33:57Speaker 17: people who don't recognize that in most cases are so
- 34:00Speaker 17: distracted by their hatred for President Trump that they're just
- 34:04Speaker 17: not looking at the real situation.
- 34:08Speaker 3: And just finally, on this issue, Marco Rubio noted the
- 34:11Speaker 3: deep divide between the Iranian people and the Iranian regime.
- 34:17Speaker 18: I don't know of any country in the world where
- 34:19Speaker 18: there's a bigger difference between the people and the people
- 34:21Speaker 18: who run the country. Okay, this country's run by radical
- 34:24Speaker 18: Shia clerics, and that's not what Iran and the Iranian
- 34:27Speaker 18: people are now. They may be Shia, but they're not radicals,
- 34:30Speaker 18: and they're not clerics, and they just want a normal
- 34:32Speaker 18: life and a regular life in many ways, a very
- 34:34Speaker 18: cosmopolitan country with an incredible history. Incredible history.
- 34:39Speaker 3: John, it's a point well made. The world has been
- 34:42Speaker 3: a victim of the rogue regime in Iran, but it's
- 34:46Speaker 3: really the Iranian people who've been the biggest victims for
- 34:50Speaker 3: forty seven years.
- 34:52Speaker 17: That's absolutely correct. The IRGC has killed tens of thousands
- 34:56Speaker 17: of Iranians just in the last few months, and there
- 34:59Speaker 17: are still terrible, terrible stories of atrocities coming out of Iran.
- 35:04Speaker 17: But the problem, of course, read is that the people
- 35:06Speaker 17: are unarmed. The IRGC has all the weapons. And I
- 35:11Speaker 17: certainly hope, and in America we Republicans all hope at
- 35:14Speaker 17: least that the Iranian people will find a way to
- 35:18Speaker 17: throw off this a terrible tyranny.
- 35:22Speaker 5: You nailed it there, John.
- 35:24Speaker 3: So many people ask me, you know, why haven't the
- 35:27Speaker 3: people overthrown that regime? If there's such a groundswell of
- 35:31Speaker 3: support against that regime, why can't they overwhelm them. Well,
- 35:36Speaker 3: it's because the support may be small, but the people
- 35:40Speaker 3: who support this government are the ones with the guns.
- 35:42Speaker 5: They're the ones who have all the weapons.
- 35:44Speaker 3: And if you're a regular person, all you can do
- 35:47Speaker 3: is go to the streets and protest, and we see
- 35:50Speaker 3: what happens there.
- 35:51Speaker 5: They will kill people without.
- 35:54Speaker 3: A second thought. And nowt us go to local matters.
- 35:58Speaker 3: In the US, the Trumpet administration, this is a little
- 36:01Speaker 3: bit cheeky, John. They have renamed ICE to NICE. It's
- 36:05Speaker 3: now the National Immigration and Custom Enforcement Agency.
- 36:10Speaker 9: There.
- 36:11Speaker 5: How can anyone possibly be against NICE? John, That's not possible.
- 36:17Speaker 17: They can't reader, Trump Watts reporters to always have to
- 36:20Speaker 17: talk about NICE agents. I think it's great.
- 36:25Speaker 3: It is, and it just shows you that marketing instinct
- 36:30Speaker 3: that he has that has been so valuable for him
- 36:33Speaker 3: in communicating with the American people. The media have never
- 36:36Speaker 3: got it. His detractors have never got it. They don't
- 36:39Speaker 3: get the humor, they don't get the messaging.
- 36:41Speaker 5: And this is just another side.
- 36:43Speaker 3: It's a little bit mischievous, but it makes a point, John.
- 36:49Speaker 17: It really doesn't. By the way, reader, I don't think
- 36:52Speaker 17: ICE is as unpopular as the Democrats believe. You know,
- 36:55Speaker 17: here in Minnesota we have the biggest episode of resistance
- 36:58Speaker 17: to ICE, people coming in from around the country. But
- 37:02Speaker 17: my organization had this poll and we found that eighty
- 37:05Speaker 17: one percent even in my state of Minnesota, support deporting
- 37:09Speaker 17: all illegal immigrants who have a criminal record and that's
- 37:13Speaker 17: ICES or Nice's mission. And seventy two percent say they
- 37:17Speaker 17: want local law enforcement to cooperate with ICE. So I
- 37:21Speaker 17: don't think that ICE is anywhere near as unpopular as
- 37:24Speaker 17: the Democrats believe.
- 37:27Speaker 5: Oh that is interesting now.
- 37:29Speaker 3: I spoke earlier in the week about the Supreme Court
- 37:32Speaker 3: decision that effectively bans racial gerry mandreing.
- 37:36Speaker 5: You've written in.
- 37:37Speaker 3: The superb power Line blog about this case and the
- 37:41Speaker 3: clash between two Supreme Court justice thees. No surprise, one
- 37:44Speaker 3: of them is Katanji Brown Jackson, the Joe Biden appointee,
- 37:49Speaker 3: who really, John has embarrassed herself over.
- 37:53Speaker 5: And over again. You might as well have an MSNBC
- 37:56Speaker 5: anchor on the bench at the moment.
- 38:00Speaker 17: Well, Jackson doesn't act like a judge. She acts, like
- 38:02Speaker 17: you said, is if she's trying out for a job
- 38:04Speaker 17: as a pundit on MSNBC. And what happened here, of course,
- 38:08Speaker 17: was last week the Supreme Court decided a case called
- 38:11Speaker 17: Louisiana versus Calais, and they held it as unconstitutional for
- 38:15Speaker 17: a state to draw lines of congressional district based on race.
- 38:19Speaker 17: You can jerrymander, but you can't discriminate on the basis
- 38:22Speaker 17: of race. So yesterday the Court granted a motion to
- 38:26Speaker 17: enter judgment on that decision right away so that Louisiana
- 38:30Speaker 17: will have enough time to draw proper constitutional district lines
- 38:35Speaker 17: before the election in the fall. And the vote on
- 38:38Speaker 17: that was eight to one on that order. But Catanji
- 38:41Speaker 17: Jackson wrote a dissent in which she attacked all eight
- 38:45Speaker 17: of her fellow justices, saying that they were motivated by
- 38:48Speaker 17: politics and Justice Elio, who has become a real spokesman
- 38:53Speaker 17: for the Conservatives on the Supreme Court, responded in a
- 38:57Speaker 17: concurring opinion, and he said, what does she want is
- 39:00Speaker 17: she want us to force Louisiana to use an unconstitutional
- 39:04Speaker 17: redistricting plan and have somebody election. And of course that
- 39:09Speaker 17: is exactly what the Democrats do want. So this is
- 39:12Speaker 17: a real conflict that we're seeing play out now on
- 39:14Speaker 17: the Supreme Court.
- 39:17Speaker 3: You know, she may be Joe Biden's most consequential mistake.
- 39:22Speaker 5: I mean, right now the.
- 39:24Speaker 3: Conservatives have the numbers on that bench, but that could change.
- 39:28Speaker 3: And the fact that it's pretty much a job for life,
- 39:32Speaker 3: and to have someone of that caliber have a position
- 39:35Speaker 3: of power like that, it's frightening. Now we've talked about
- 39:38Speaker 3: California earlier. Before you go, I want to just give
- 39:42Speaker 3: one example of the failures of California. And we talk
- 39:46Speaker 3: a lot on this program about the high crime there,
- 39:49Speaker 3: the high taxes, all the woke craziness. But here is
- 39:53Speaker 3: New York Times columnists Nick christoph and Left to himself
- 39:57Speaker 3: talking about the failures in vcation in California.
- 40:02Speaker 14: You know, we talked a good game about the importance
- 40:05Speaker 14: of education, and yet a black kid in Mississippi is
- 40:09Speaker 14: two and a half times as likely to be proficient
- 40:12Speaker 14: in math and reading by fourth grade as a black
- 40:14Speaker 14: kid in California.
- 40:16Speaker 3: That is an incredible sat John, and inexcusable.
- 40:20Speaker 5: There's no justification for that for California.
- 40:25Speaker 17: Well, that's right, in Reata. It's not only the black kids.
- 40:27Speaker 17: I think it's true of all kids in Mississippi versus
- 40:29Speaker 17: all kids in California, also New York. They can read
- 40:33Speaker 17: and do math better. In Mississippi. Our public schools are
- 40:36Speaker 17: a disgrace. They've substituted ideology and activism for education. And
- 40:41Speaker 17: the states that are improving rapidly at education are conservative
- 40:45Speaker 17: states like Mississippi and like Alabama.
- 40:50Speaker 5: John Heinderrecher, thank you so much for your time. Tonight.
- 40:53Speaker 3: Still to come, the disturbing new TikTok trend showing how
- 40:58Speaker 3: callous young people can become Alex Stein is up next.
- 41:12Speaker 3: Welcome back now to a truly disturbing new trend on
- 41:16Speaker 3: TikTok naturally of young Americans using audio of Charlie Kirkin
- 41:22Speaker 3: gunshots as part of a prom outfit transition.
- 41:26Speaker 5: I mean this is gross.
- 41:29Speaker 15: Counting or not counting gang violence, Greek counting or not
- 41:34Speaker 15: counting gang violence. Greek counting or not counting gang violence Greek.
- 41:45Speaker 3: Just usually sick, ugly depraved behavior. If it were up
- 41:50Speaker 3: to me, those little callous brats would not be graduating.
- 41:55Speaker 5: Expel the lot of them.
- 41:56Speaker 3: But they think Charlie deserves to be killed for his opinions,
- 41:59Speaker 3: they can be expelled for their actions. Joining me now
- 42:03Speaker 3: is comic and host of After Hours with Alex Stein. Alex,
- 42:08Speaker 3: I know Charlie Kirk was a good friend of yours.
- 42:10Speaker 3: How does it feel watching a six skit like that?
- 42:16Speaker 14: You know?
- 42:16Speaker 1: I saw that trend going viral over the weekend, and
- 42:19Speaker 1: at first seeing it is incredibly shocking, But it's actually
- 42:22Speaker 1: not surprising at all, Rita, because I go and I
- 42:25Speaker 1: spend a lot of time at these college campuses, and
- 42:28Speaker 1: these kids are so desensitized to violence that Charlie all
- 42:33Speaker 1: the great work that he has done. Sadly, his biggest
- 42:37Speaker 1: legacy will be partially the mame culture that constantly shares
- 42:41Speaker 1: Charlie Kirk memes and uses Charlie Kirk sounds.
- 42:45Speaker 13: And they're doing it kind of as a like.
- 42:47Speaker 1: A therapeutic way, because I use humor and you know,
- 42:51Speaker 1: in dark, tragic times, and I think that's what the
- 42:53Speaker 1: youth is doing.
- 42:54Speaker 13: And I'm not excusing that behavior.
- 42:56Speaker 1: It's disgusting, but because these people are so desensitized, the
- 42:59Speaker 1: only way that they can make each other lab it's
- 43:01Speaker 1: bringing up a tragic situation like Charlie. And I think
- 43:05Speaker 1: that that's just a side effect of the culture that
- 43:08Speaker 1: is really prevalent among young people in America right now.
- 43:11Speaker 13: So it's shocking but not surprising to me.
- 43:13Speaker 3: Rita Now two one of the most heinous crimes we've
- 43:19Speaker 3: seen in recent times. A former FedEx delivery driver, Tanne Horner,
- 43:24Speaker 3: pleaded guilty to killing seven year old Athenas Strand in Texas.
- 43:29Speaker 3: He's just been sentenced to death in Texas. That happened
- 43:33Speaker 3: earlier today.
- 43:34Speaker 19: It adjudged to be guilty of the offense is capital murder.
- 43:37Speaker 19: Is found by the jury jury having answered the special issues,
- 43:41Speaker 19: making it mandatory that your finished punishment be death. That is,
- 43:44Speaker 19: therefore the order of this Court that your punishments be
- 43:48Speaker 19: dead before the hour of sunrise on take to be
- 43:51Speaker 19: determined by this Court upon a mandate of a firman's
- 43:55Speaker 19: issue by the Texas Court of Criminal a Fields at
- 43:58Speaker 19: the State Penitentiary in Huntsville, Texas.
- 44:00Speaker 3: You will be cause to die, Alex. I don't care
- 44:05Speaker 3: if you are against the death penalty. I just don't
- 44:08Speaker 3: think any sane feeling person with a sense of justice
- 44:12Speaker 3: who heard the details of that case would want anything
- 44:16Speaker 3: other than that man dead.
- 44:19Speaker 5: The jury must be traumatized.
- 44:21Speaker 3: They heard the voice of that terrified little girl, and
- 44:25Speaker 3: they deliberated for just three hours before handing down the
- 44:28Speaker 3: death penalty, which will be carried out by lethal injection.
- 44:34Speaker 13: Well I think this.
- 44:35Speaker 1: I mean, it's a horrible, horrible situation, but I'm happy
- 44:38Speaker 1: that he actually got sentenced and convicted with the death
- 44:41Speaker 1: penalty now in Texas. It does take a long time
- 44:43Speaker 1: before he actually will probably be be executed. I believe
- 44:47Speaker 1: they're speculating it'll be twenty forty. But him going to
- 44:50Speaker 1: prison in Huntsville, Texas, being a child molester, I think
- 44:53Speaker 1: the likelihood of him making it to his execution date
- 44:56Speaker 1: is going to be slim to none. And they're not
- 44:58Speaker 1: going to like hearing a story about Howard murdered a
- 45:00Speaker 1: seven year old in his work ban. So the outlook
- 45:04Speaker 1: for him is very grim. Tragically not as grim as
- 45:07Speaker 1: his victim, but you know, that's just how the world works.
- 45:10Speaker 13: Life is not fair. But he's going to get some
- 45:12Speaker 13: sort of prison justice very soon.
- 45:15Speaker 3: Now we are learning more about this activist judger who
- 45:19Speaker 3: apologized to the man charge with attempting to assassinate President
- 45:23Speaker 3: Donald Trump. Left US judge Zia Ferruki said that he
- 45:28Speaker 3: was disturbed by Cole Allen's treatment in jail. He also
- 45:33Speaker 3: said to me, it's extremely disturbing that he was put
- 45:36Speaker 3: in five point restraints a person with no criminal history.
- 45:40Speaker 5: It's troubling.
- 45:42Speaker 3: I never heard of one Jan six defendant who was
- 45:45Speaker 3: put in a five point restraint or in a safe cell.
- 45:49Speaker 3: If the only way to keep him safe is the
- 45:51Speaker 3: most punitive thing, that's a problem. At a minimum, I
- 45:54Speaker 3: should be apologizing to him. We're obligated to make sure
- 45:58Speaker 3: he's taken care of, mister Allen. I'm sorry that things
- 46:02Speaker 3: have not been the way they're supposed to. Oh my god,
- 46:06Speaker 3: alex He apologized to this guy more than once. And
- 46:11Speaker 3: this judge last year dismissed the case against Edward Alexander Dana,
- 46:16Speaker 3: who threatened to kill President Trump. The activist, leftist judges
- 46:21Speaker 3: in the US are a problem. There's no other way
- 46:24Speaker 3: to talk about this, that undermining trust in the criminal
- 46:27Speaker 3: justice system.
- 46:30Speaker 1: No, Rita, you spent a lot of time in America,
- 46:32Speaker 1: and I will argue till I take my last breath
- 46:34Speaker 1: that America is the greatest country on earth. But the hard,
- 46:37Speaker 1: cold truth of the situation is we have a corrupt
- 46:40Speaker 1: criminal justice system and it is just a bunch of
- 46:43Speaker 1: woke judges that can actually go against the President of
- 46:47Speaker 1: the United States in certain instances, they can actually take
- 46:50Speaker 1: away the power from the people.
- 46:51Speaker 13: And you have some sort of judge of the political bias.
- 46:55Speaker 1: Being empathetic to a person that walked into a White
- 46:58Speaker 1: House correspondence dinner with a place to kill the president.
- 47:01Speaker 13: So that's the problem with their criminal justice systems.
- 47:03Speaker 1: We have judges that just let violent criminals go out
- 47:06Speaker 1: of jail and walk freely because they're poor.
- 47:09Speaker 13: And if you are a white.
- 47:11Speaker 1: Person and you commit a white collar crime, they're going
- 47:13Speaker 1: to hold you to the fullest extent of the laws.
- 47:15Speaker 1: So we do have a two tier justice system here
- 47:17Speaker 1: in America, and that needs to be one of our
- 47:18Speaker 1: main focuses. You know in the future if the Conservatives
- 47:22Speaker 1: kind of want to take back our country after you
- 47:24Speaker 1: know what people are speculating in the midterms is going
- 47:26Speaker 1: to be a tough, uphill battle.
- 47:28Speaker 3: Alex, Let's have a look at the lightest incredible ad
- 47:32Speaker 3: for Li Merrill candidate Spencer Pratt.
- 47:43Speaker 5: Please, I'm begging you. There's homeless drug addicts in front
- 47:47Speaker 5: of the schools. My children aren't saying.
- 47:51Speaker 7: Look, if you were a transgender migrant, I could get
- 47:53Speaker 7: you a free pussy.
- 47:55Speaker 11: Let's love the drug addicts closer.
- 47:58Speaker 5: That's already solved crime. Endorse her.
- 48:16Speaker 17: Please, I just want to rebuild my home.
- 48:19Speaker 5: It's been over a year, so many highlights.
- 48:27Speaker 3: The ad goes on for a bit longer than that.
- 48:29Speaker 3: I think my favorite bid Alex was Kamala sculling vodka
- 48:33Speaker 3: directly from the bottle.
- 48:36Speaker 4: No.
- 48:36Speaker 13: I loved everything about that.
- 48:37Speaker 1: I love Gavin Newsom basically telling the truth that if
- 48:41Speaker 1: you are transgender, you can get free healthcare in California.
- 48:44Speaker 13: But if you try to do that anywhere else.
- 48:46Speaker 1: You know, if I'm not transgender trying to get free
- 48:47Speaker 1: health care, they've kicked out of the hospital.
- 48:49Speaker 13: So showing the hypocrisy is brilliant.
- 48:51Speaker 1: I support Prince Spencer Pratt as a lifelong The Hills fan,
- 48:55Speaker 1: Laguna Beach, the MTV days. I need somebody from my
- 48:59Speaker 1: generation to present my generation, so I support Spencer Pratt.
- 49:05Speaker 3: You know what, this guy was never interested in politics.
- 49:08Speaker 3: He only became interested when his house burnt down and
- 49:11Speaker 3: he just saw how corrupt and inept the entire bureaucracy
- 49:16Speaker 3: was when he was personally impacted. And thank God is
- 49:19Speaker 3: interested now because he's giving people in La a real choice.
- 49:23Speaker 3: Alex Stein, always a pleasure. Thanks for your time tonight,
- 49:26Speaker 3: and that's all the time we have. I'll see you
- 49:29Speaker 3: at eleven tomorrow. News Night is up next
