0:03
Speaker 1: Starting right now. They show.
0:08
Speaker 2: Good evening and welcome to the readA Panahy Show coming
0:11
Speaker 2: up tonight. The ABC belatedly apologizes to Gina Reinhardt despite
0:16
Speaker 2: the ombudsman finding the footage did not reach editorial policies.
0:20
Speaker 2: My panel would join me to discuss the day's top headlines.
0:24
Speaker 2: Almost one in five offices in Melbourne CBD sit empty.
0:28
Speaker 2: Property Council Victorian Executive Director Kat Evans will join me
0:32
Speaker 2: to discuss that Stella Escibito will have the latest from
0:36
Speaker 2: the US, including Abdul Alsaid's victory in the Michigan Democrat
0:41
Speaker 2: primary and singer Tate McCrae faces backlash from the left.
0:46
Speaker 2: Kinsey Schofield, We'll have the latest entertainment and royal news
0:50
Speaker 2: later in the hour, and Left Is Losing It features
0:54
Speaker 2: this travesty.
0:55
Speaker 3: And the Rocket.
0:59
Speaker 4: Moves in.
1:03
Speaker 2: But first, Climate Change Minister Chris Bowen slug taxpayers more
1:07
Speaker 2: than three hundred and forty five thousand dollars last year
1:10
Speaker 2: to travel the world to sprook his net zero ambitions.
1:14
Speaker 2: Chris Bowen's travel expense reports, released by the Independent Parliamentary
1:18
Speaker 2: Expenses Authority show he spent an average of seven and
1:22
Speaker 2: a half thousand dollars a day on international travel across
1:26
Speaker 2: forty six days. That included one hundred and eighteen thousand
1:30
Speaker 2: dollars on a nine day trip through the US, more
1:34
Speaker 2: than seventy nine thousand on an eleven day trip in
1:37
Speaker 2: Brazil and Chile, forty one thousand on a six day
1:40
Speaker 2: trip to Germany and Singapore in June, plus almost seven
1:45
Speaker 2: thousand dollars for a one night's day in New Zealand
1:48
Speaker 2: in December last year. Meanwhile, Chris Bowen did not even
1:52
Speaker 2: mention net zero once during his National Press Club address yesterday.
1:58
Speaker 2: Let's bring in Menzi's research to senior fellow Nick Kata
2:01
Speaker 2: and News twenty four contributor Louise Roberts, Nick, how does
2:08
Speaker 2: any of this past.
2:09
Speaker 4: The pub test?
2:10
Speaker 2: This is just extraordinary expenditure, seemingly to boost the ego
2:16
Speaker 2: of Chris Bowen.
2:18
Speaker 1: You're just not the window of my sales here. Did
2:21
Speaker 1: you say seven thousand dollars for one night in New Zealand.
2:24
Speaker 1: I don't know how you can spend seven thousand dollars
2:26
Speaker 1: in one night in New Zealand. But the point is
2:29
Speaker 1: this whole IPC process that he's involved in, this international
2:33
Speaker 1: climate change measure, which has been going on what now
2:36
Speaker 1: for forty years or so, has actually put up emissions
2:41
Speaker 1: and missions have gone up from thirty nine gigatons to
2:43
Speaker 1: fifty nine gigatons in that period. So it's not working, Chris,
2:46
Speaker 1: forget it. It's not working. Whenever you're doing flying around
2:49
Speaker 1: the world, it's not working. And it would be It
2:52
Speaker 1: wouldn't be some bad reader if he actually used this usefully,
2:55
Speaker 1: like I gather he stopped off in Finland. Will did
2:58
Speaker 1: he visit the Orkiluto three nuclear reactor, which is one
3:02
Speaker 1: of the best in the world. Of course not. I mean,
3:04
Speaker 1: the whole thing is is is bureaucratic nonsense. It's stacked
3:09
Speaker 1: up for people like Chris Bowe who just like touring
3:12
Speaker 1: the world and feeling important and what can we do
3:16
Speaker 1: about it? But it's just absurd.
3:20
Speaker 2: Now Chris Bowen Luiz is again spooking how popular batteries
3:25
Speaker 2: and solar panels are, even as he announces an increase
3:29
Speaker 2: in subsidies. If it's so popular, why do taxpayers need
3:35
Speaker 2: to subsidize it? That seems like a fairly obvious question
3:38
Speaker 2: that it doesn't seem to be able to answer.
3:40
Speaker 5: No, it doesn't it doesn't know. He's not able to
3:42
Speaker 5: answer it because we know it's more expensive than they've
3:45
Speaker 5: ever ever described it before, and iman to the point
3:48
Speaker 5: about a three hundred and forty five k as well
3:50
Speaker 5: on all those trips. So what's the value in that
3:53
Speaker 5: for us as taxpays? I mean, are our bills down?
3:55
Speaker 6: No?
3:56
Speaker 5: Is our energy system more reliable?
3:58
Speaker 1: No?
3:59
Speaker 5: And they always sort of any of these programs, but
4:01
Speaker 5: it's a battery program or these overseas troops.
4:04
Speaker 7: There's a way to.
4:05
Speaker 5: Really build our climate, our reputation abroad, and really sort
4:09
Speaker 5: of set us out as leaders in this space when
4:12
Speaker 5: the average tax pay at home is opening their bill
4:15
Speaker 5: and getting absolute bill shock and seeing you know, the
4:18
Speaker 5: energy mister, as we say, the energy mister flying around
4:20
Speaker 5: the world at our expense. It's just, yeah, whatever this
4:23
Speaker 5: scheme is, it's not working.
4:26
Speaker 4: Not working for me now.
4:27
Speaker 2: The ABC has apologized Gina ryan Hart for the disgusting
4:33
Speaker 2: call to rape and murder her contain in a recent
4:36
Speaker 2: Race around the World episode. This apology comes despite the
4:40
Speaker 2: broadcaster's formal complaints handling process finding the content did not
4:45
Speaker 2: breach editorial standards, but the public broadcaster has apologized because
4:50
Speaker 2: the segment they said fell short of community expectations. Nick
4:56
Speaker 2: it beggars believe how could the ABC umbudsman find that
5:01
Speaker 2: that episode did not breach the ABC editorial standards relating
5:06
Speaker 2: to harm and offense.
5:07
Speaker 1: How well, you've got to ask whether they have any
5:11
Speaker 1: standards at all to defend, haven't you. And the point
5:14
Speaker 1: about this whole instant reader was not that some twenty something,
5:18
Speaker 1: you know, clever sort of filmmaker made a stupid film.
5:23
Speaker 1: It's the fact that ABC management, presumably editors, the whole
5:27
Speaker 1: gamut of them, looked at this and said, yeah, that's
5:29
Speaker 1: good to go, whereas clearly it offended standards, ordinary community standards.
5:35
Speaker 1: To put it mildly, I mean, it was deeply offensive.
5:38
Speaker 1: It was obscene, it was pornographic, it was violent, you know,
5:41
Speaker 1: name your adjective. You know, this was a terrible, terrible
5:44
Speaker 1: piece of television. So I just don't understand one, how
5:47
Speaker 1: it got to air in the first place. And two
5:50
Speaker 1: I guess why it's taken what three weeks, two three
5:53
Speaker 1: weeks for the ABC to wake up and say, oh, yeah,
5:56
Speaker 1: we did miss the mark there. Oh, on consideration, I
6:00
Speaker 1: should have known the second it went to weir, But
6:02
Speaker 1: they should have known, of course before that, because it
6:04
Speaker 1: was a pre recorded.
6:04
Speaker 2: Program exactly, this wasn't live television. Luise, this whole procedure
6:10
Speaker 2: with the AABC armbardsman. Should we stop allowing the ABC
6:15
Speaker 2: to mark their own homework? It seems just to be
6:18
Speaker 2: a ridiculous process. Why is this even something that we
6:23
Speaker 2: pause to consider? I wonder what the ABC armbudsman will say. Oh, wait,
6:27
Speaker 2: they agree with everything the ABC does.
6:30
Speaker 5: Of course, it isn't marking your own homework really, isn't it.
6:32
Speaker 5: And if they want an independent authority, yes, a properly
6:36
Speaker 5: you know, instigated authority to do this. But yeah, the
6:40
Speaker 5: whole thing was obscene and the fact that he's not
6:43
Speaker 5: backed in the decision or the ABC have apologized on
6:46
Speaker 5: it is crazy. I mean, really, it's just open season
6:49
Speaker 5: then for the ABC to take potshots at anyone they
6:51
Speaker 5: don't like, anyone they deem to be too rich or successful,
6:54
Speaker 5: or any politician or member of the public or missus
6:56
Speaker 5: Ryan Hard again or whatever. So it doesn't actually give
7:00
Speaker 5: me much confidence that we won't be looking at another
7:02
Speaker 5: situation like this maybe in a few weeks time.
7:06
Speaker 2: And again, there's no logic here because they've made a
7:10
Speaker 2: big point of waiting for the Umberdsman's report. They've said
7:13
Speaker 2: the umberds and found they didn't do anything wrong. But
7:16
Speaker 2: finally here's the apology.
7:18
Speaker 4: So it really all's rather confusing.
7:21
Speaker 2: Now let's move on to labor introducing new rules to
7:25
Speaker 2: cut net overseas migration and push temporary residents to leave Australia.
7:30
Speaker 4: Net migration has.
7:31
Speaker 2: Outpaced treasury projection every year since it exceeded half a
7:35
Speaker 2: million for the first time in twenty twenty three. Nick
7:39
Speaker 2: The government is expected to announce a crackdown on asylum
7:43
Speaker 2: seeker work and appell rits, limits on the number of
7:46
Speaker 2: backpackers allowed to extend their stay, and also move to
7:51
Speaker 2: ban visitors from applying for family visas. Do you think
7:56
Speaker 2: these measures in unison are going to bring the numbers
7:59
Speaker 2: to something that is approaching a sensible level.
8:05
Speaker 1: Well, it depends how tough they are in cracking down
8:08
Speaker 1: on these categories and how robust they're going to be
8:13
Speaker 1: in enforcing them. I mean, if somebody breaks the rules,
8:16
Speaker 1: for instance, will they be thrown out of the country
8:18
Speaker 1: pretty quickly as they should be, because that's the best deterrent.
8:23
Speaker 1: One wonders with this government whether they've got the heart
8:25
Speaker 1: to do that. But this does, of course, I think
8:27
Speaker 1: they're at last grappling with the complexity of this reso.
8:30
Speaker 1: You know what one hundred and eighty thousand I think
8:32
Speaker 1: is the official quota. In fact, we let in more
8:35
Speaker 1: than three times that amount through these various temporary visa categories,
8:39
Speaker 1: and they're the ones that count. It's the net inward migration.
8:42
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter whether they're on a permanent or a
8:44
Speaker 1: temporary visa. They're here and they're looking for houses, they're
8:47
Speaker 1: using hospital care, they're taking jobs, etc. So at least
8:51
Speaker 1: they've started to grapple with this. But you just I
8:54
Speaker 1: mean on their present form, on their form to date
8:56
Speaker 1: on immigration, going back right to the boat people, but
9:00
Speaker 1: right to the floods of both people under the last
9:04
Speaker 1: Labor government. You just doubt whether they'll actually be able
9:07
Speaker 1: to achieve anything. But I hope they surprise us.
9:13
Speaker 4: Louise.
9:13
Speaker 2: It's clear that one nation is setting the tone here.
9:17
Speaker 2: We've had opinion polls showing that most Australias trust one
9:21
Speaker 2: nation to deal with this issue above Labor and the
9:24
Speaker 2: Coalition and Labor can read those opinion.
9:28
Speaker 4: Polls as well as we can. They know this is
9:30
Speaker 4: a weakness for them.
9:31
Speaker 5: Yeah, exactly. I think the issue in migration is almost
9:34
Speaker 5: moved beyond who's coming here. It's whether the government actually
9:37
Speaker 5: knows how to run this policy and how to actually
9:39
Speaker 5: pretend sorry to protect the Australians are living here. It's yeah,
9:44
Speaker 5: they may sort of argue that one nation is racist
9:48
Speaker 5: or they're sort of too polarizing in a way, but
9:50
Speaker 5: they do speak to the core concern, which is who
9:52
Speaker 5: is living here and should they be allowed to live
9:54
Speaker 5: here and what should they contribute to Australian society.
10:00
Speaker 2: Talk about the gap in literacy and numeracy between boys
10:04
Speaker 2: and girls. This is an issue I've written about for
10:07
Speaker 2: many years, and that gap just seems to be widening.
10:10
Speaker 2: We've got female students out performing males, particularly in literacy.
10:15
Speaker 2: Boys still do a little bit better when it comes
10:17
Speaker 2: to numeracy, and the latest napland results we saw the
10:22
Speaker 2: largest gender gap recorded in four years. University of Sydney
10:26
Speaker 2: Associate professor Marian Vidal Fernandez said boys who suffer from
10:31
Speaker 2: some sort of disadvantage tend to suffer more than girls.
10:35
Speaker 2: She also said schools and parents need to be aware
10:38
Speaker 2: of a confidence in balance between boys and girls.
10:41
Speaker 4: Lloyes.
10:43
Speaker 2: Girls are ahead of boys from preschool to university, and
10:48
Speaker 2: it's been that way for some time. If the reverse
10:51
Speaker 2: were true, we'd probably be talking about this a lot more.
10:54
Speaker 2: There'd probably be a lot more programs to correct that
10:57
Speaker 2: in balance, But most people seem quite comfortable with the
11:01
Speaker 2: status quo right now and they don't see this as
11:04
Speaker 2: anything that needs to be addressed.
11:07
Speaker 4: But it is an issue.
11:08
Speaker 2: You can't have that gap widening further and ignore it.
11:14
Speaker 7: That's right.
11:14
Speaker 5: So boys who are struggling with writing and english and
11:16
Speaker 5: year three for example in that story, are going to
11:19
Speaker 5: struggle even more once they're in high school and a
11:21
Speaker 5: cost getting towards doing their HSC or their IB whatever
11:24
Speaker 5: path they choose on that. And you have to ask
11:27
Speaker 5: what's being taught in the classrooms. I know we've spoken
11:29
Speaker 5: about this as well, that I really feel for the
11:31
Speaker 5: teachers because they've got a curriculum which is so chocol
11:34
Speaker 5: block full of diversity, messages and ideology and everything else
11:38
Speaker 5: that the actual fundamentals which we want our children to
11:41
Speaker 5: leave school with, you know, to be competent in math,
11:43
Speaker 5: to be confetent in writing and reading, and be prepared
11:47
Speaker 5: for their future career. And when you see this gender data,
11:50
Speaker 5: everyone thinks, well, that's the way it is. Boys are
11:52
Speaker 5: better at that and girls are better at this. But
11:54
Speaker 5: it should not be that way. We can't just accept
11:56
Speaker 5: that because we're so used to seeing that data.
11:59
Speaker 2: Yeah, before you go, we've got to talk a little
12:02
Speaker 2: bit more about CGT.
12:04
Speaker 4: This is a mess.
12:06
Speaker 2: Treasurer Jim Chalmers has released four additional pieces of draft
12:10
Speaker 2: legislation and memorandum notes to try and clean up the
12:14
Speaker 2: government's contentious capital gains tax and negative gearing reforms. Under
12:20
Speaker 2: the new regime, people who hold existing investments beyond July
12:23
Speaker 2: one next year must apply two different tax rates when
12:28
Speaker 2: valuing those assets. Gains made before the new financial year
12:31
Speaker 2: are eligible for the existing fifty percent discount on capital
12:35
Speaker 2: gains tax, and gains made after that date will for
12:38
Speaker 2: under the government's new inflation indexation system, and for unlisted
12:44
Speaker 2: assets like an investment property a property. Jim Chalmers has
12:48
Speaker 2: given investors the choice to hire a valuer or treasuries
12:53
Speaker 2: do it yourself valuation method, which is included in the legislation.
12:57
Speaker 2: Nick accountants a warning that they're doing yourself method is
13:01
Speaker 2: complicated and would potentially over tax gains made from some assets.
13:07
Speaker 2: I mean, this is just such a hot mess.
13:11
Speaker 1: It's legislation. They're making it up as they go along. RETA.
13:14
Speaker 1: There was far too little planning went into this. First all.
13:16
Speaker 1: It's very bad legislation. You know, to tax assets in
13:20
Speaker 1: the way they're doing is never worked anywhere in the world.
13:23
Speaker 1: But then they put it in a great rush. There's
13:26
Speaker 1: no modeling. Nobody's thought this through. They haven't worked out
13:29
Speaker 1: all these individual cases and how to guard against unintended consequences,
13:33
Speaker 1: and so they're having to patch it up. One hundred
13:36
Speaker 1: pages of explanatory memoranda was released overnight. I hope every
13:41
Speaker 1: accountant in the country has read that already and taken
13:44
Speaker 1: that on board. This is an absurd way to carry
13:47
Speaker 1: on and it will make a lot of work for
13:49
Speaker 1: the accountancy industry of course, and probably the legal industry
13:54
Speaker 1: too and the courts. Yeah, I mean that's great if
13:56
Speaker 1: that's what Jim Chalmers wanted to do, If it was
13:58
Speaker 1: a make work scheme for accountant's done very well. But yes,
14:02
Speaker 1: in terms of good sound legislation, it's appalling.
14:07
Speaker 2: Yes, lawyers, this is good for accountants, it's good for
14:10
Speaker 2: solicitors and it's.
14:11
Speaker 4: Good for valuers.
14:12
Speaker 2: I mean the cost of hiring a valuer to value
14:15
Speaker 2: the any investment properties you may have, it is absurd
14:20
Speaker 2: and it's not something that was factored in. We never
14:22
Speaker 2: talked about that when this changes to the capital gains
14:27
Speaker 2: tax and negative gearing were first announced.
14:29
Speaker 5: No, and of course it was never brought to the
14:30
Speaker 5: elector was it. It was snuck in afterwards, so we
14:32
Speaker 5: didn't have a say in any of it. And to
14:34
Speaker 5: think it's going to cost you, particularly it's a small
14:36
Speaker 5: business thousands of dollars to sort of navigate this mindfield
14:40
Speaker 5: of new legislation which you didn't want to have to
14:42
Speaker 5: deal with in the first place, and or you do
14:45
Speaker 5: a DIY version where you could easily make an error
14:48
Speaker 5: and end up paying more tax already. So it's a
14:51
Speaker 5: no win situation for anyone dealing with this, particularly if
14:54
Speaker 5: you're a small business, but also at a property if
14:57
Speaker 5: you've got a property investment as well. So I think
15:00
Speaker 5: the very least they should have done after inflicting this
15:03
Speaker 5: on the electure it was to make it as simple
15:04
Speaker 5: as possible to understand. I mean, this is absolute joke.
15:08
Speaker 5: They're offering up a calculator on the ATO website. I mean,
15:10
Speaker 5: who's going to use that? I mean you wouldn't. You
15:12
Speaker 5: would not trust that in a million years, would you.
15:15
Speaker 4: Yeah?
15:15
Speaker 2: I wonder if that came the same people in Treasury
15:19
Speaker 2: who decided all these policies were is going to lead
15:22
Speaker 2: to a two dollars increase in rent per week. They're
15:25
Speaker 2: the ones who put this calculator together. That would be fantastic,
15:28
Speaker 2: Nick Kator, Luise Roberts, thanks for your time.
15:31
Speaker 4: Now.
15:31
Speaker 2: Melbourne remains the nation's office vacancy capital, with almost one
15:35
Speaker 2: in five CBD officers sitting empty. The office vacancy rating
15:39
Speaker 2: Melbourne sits at eighteen point nine percent. Compare that to
15:43
Speaker 2: Sydney on thirteen point three percent and Brisbane on ten
15:47
Speaker 2: point two percent, and you can expect the situation in
15:50
Speaker 2: Melbourne to deteriorate further with work from home being enshrined
15:55
Speaker 2: into law from September one. Joining me now is Property
15:58
Speaker 2: Council Victorian Exy Coutive Director Kath Evans. Kath, the new Premier,
16:03
Speaker 2: Ben Carroll says, is open to sensible amendments to these laws.
16:08
Speaker 4: What would you like to see.
16:10
Speaker 6: If there's a rafter amendments that we've put forward to
16:13
Speaker 6: really improve the operations of this bill. As it stands
16:18
Speaker 6: at the moment, the bill is absolutely unworthable.
16:21
Speaker 7: There are so many issues that need to be addressed.
16:24
Speaker 7: For example, the right for.
16:29
Speaker 6: Workers to stack a multiple entitlements together, which may in
16:34
Speaker 6: fact mean that they are working for an.
16:37
Speaker 7: Eligibility to work from home for more than two days
16:41
Speaker 7: per week. That there'd be a cap on employer costs
16:45
Speaker 7: in contributing to a home office.
16:48
Speaker 6: That there'd be an ability to direct employees as to
16:51
Speaker 6: what actual days they should or can work from home
16:56
Speaker 6: to ensure that there's sufficient.
16:58
Speaker 7: Coverage throughout an office. There's also.
17:04
Speaker 6: A proposal put forward to enable business to change these
17:08
Speaker 6: entitlements to really meet the needs of the changing.
17:12
Speaker 7: Environment for a business.
17:14
Speaker 6: For example, if you have peak periods in a business
17:17
Speaker 6: and you need all hands on deck, you need to
17:20
Speaker 6: be able to vary a work from home arrangement so
17:23
Speaker 6: that you can maximize the attendance of people in an
17:26
Speaker 6: office at a particular time. They're just some of the
17:29
Speaker 6: amendments that we have kipsawed.
17:33
Speaker 4: Now.
17:33
Speaker 2: Melbourne's CBD has got all sorts of issues right now.
17:37
Speaker 2: A crime issue, it's an expensive place to drive to park.
17:43
Speaker 2: Can you understand why there are many workers who want
17:47
Speaker 2: to work from home if they can.
17:51
Speaker 6: The Property Council has always supported flexible working arrangements. We
17:57
Speaker 6: have made that very clear throughout our cory on this issue.
18:01
Speaker 7: We do not believe there is.
18:03
Speaker 6: Actually a problem to solve here in Melbourne at the moment.
18:07
Speaker 7: The majority of workers.
18:08
Speaker 6: Who can work from home do have flexible work offerings
18:13
Speaker 6: and that data clearly shows that what we're against is
18:16
Speaker 6: setting up a new regulationy environment which is different from
18:21
Speaker 6: the rest of the country, which puts a very big
18:24
Speaker 6: burden on employers to comply with the set of regulations.
18:29
Speaker 6: And we're calling for there being eleven playing field so
18:34
Speaker 6: that Victoria is not a destination that repels investment because
18:42
Speaker 6: it has different label.
18:44
Speaker 7: Lealers to everywhere else in the country.
18:47
Speaker 6: Employers and employees have successfully navigated flexible work for several
18:53
Speaker 6: years now. This is not a problem that needs a legism.
18:57
Speaker 6: This is not an issue that needs legislative solution.
19:02
Speaker 7: It is done by agreement between.
19:04
Speaker 6: Parties and pursuant to the entitlements that people have, either
19:08
Speaker 6: under the Fair Work Act or through enterprise agreements.
19:13
Speaker 2: Kath Victorian Labour's relationship with the Business sector is an
19:17
Speaker 2: all time low. Can that trust be rebuilt with this
19:21
Speaker 2: new premier? Have you sensed a shift in the mood
19:25
Speaker 2: since he's taken over. The Premier and the Treasurer have
19:29
Speaker 2: made it clear that they are open to discussing issues
19:32
Speaker 2: with the business community. The Premier has made it clear
19:36
Speaker 2: in the public domain that he has an appetite.
19:40
Speaker 7: For some amendments to this bill.
19:42
Speaker 6: We're really welcome the opportunity of working with the Premier
19:45
Speaker 6: and Treasurer on a range of policy areas to improve
19:49
Speaker 6: business conditions here.
19:53
Speaker 4: Kath Evans, thank you so much for your time. Still
19:55
Speaker 4: to come.
19:56
Speaker 2: Lefties Lose a plus the latest from the US in
20:00
Speaker 2: including Abdulla al Sayd's victory in the Michigan Democrat primary.
20:04
Speaker 4: Stell Escabedo is next.
20:15
Speaker 2: You're watching the Reader Paney Show, and it's time for
20:18
Speaker 2: left He's losing it. Let's check in on a Democrat
20:22
Speaker 2: at the beach. This is krol Basin, a Democratic congressional candidate,
20:28
Speaker 2: terrorizing beach goers in Maui.
20:36
Speaker 8: I told him, if he wants to go to Pata,
20:38
Speaker 8: come here.
20:42
Speaker 1: Right right, I'll do that, then.
20:51
Speaker 5: Go ahead.
20:53
Speaker 1: I didn't put him in the ground.
20:58
Speaker 2: Let's go but when it came time to fight, the
21:01
Speaker 2: Democrat got a dose of instant karma. Warning, this next
21:06
Speaker 2: clip is confronting caregrower, confronting, yet satisfying. Don't worry, folks,
21:19
Speaker 2: he was fine. He was up and about within seconds.
21:22
Speaker 2: And the New York Post reports our Democrat friend had
21:26
Speaker 2: told beach goers he had.
21:28
Speaker 4: A gun and pulled a knife on the man.
21:30
Speaker 2: Afterwards, the congressional candidate allegedly tossed the knife in the water,
21:34
Speaker 2: but police recovered it and arrested him for two counts
21:38
Speaker 2: of first degree terroristic threatening.
21:42
Speaker 4: Dear man.
21:43
Speaker 2: Now to the w NBA, where coaches are lining up
21:47
Speaker 2: to attack Sophie Cunningham, to attack women's rights, to attack
21:51
Speaker 2: biological reality.
21:52
Speaker 4: Not one coach or player.
21:54
Speaker 2: Has stood by Sophie, and that speaks volumes. This is
21:58
Speaker 2: a league of mad ideas, logs, idiots and cowards, it
22:02
Speaker 2: must be said, because you can be sure there'd be
22:04
Speaker 2: plenty who agree with her one hundred percent. But let's
22:08
Speaker 2: see now from the Golden State head coach and Natalie
22:12
Speaker 2: Nikassay with this incredibly dumb virtue signaling.
22:17
Speaker 9: Sports is about belonging, it's about inclusivity, it's about allowing
22:23
Speaker 9: everyone to be their authentic self. You know I'm big
22:27
Speaker 9: on that, just because I have been criticized from my height,
22:31
Speaker 9: from my ethnicity. I'm all about women, little girls deserving
22:35
Speaker 9: to play, and that includes trans women. So I'm all
22:38
Speaker 9: about inclusivity.
22:40
Speaker 2: Sport is not about belonging, particularly elite sports. It's about competing,
22:45
Speaker 2: and women cannot compete with men because men are bigger, stronger, faster.
22:50
Speaker 4: This there's obvious stuff, folks. That's why we have a
22:52
Speaker 4: w NBA.
22:53
Speaker 2: The W stands for women and that does not include
22:57
Speaker 2: so called trans women. Don't even start on the idiocy
23:01
Speaker 2: of comparing a man pretending to be a woman with
23:04
Speaker 2: height or ethnicity. Now, let's round out. Left is losing
23:08
Speaker 2: it with what is tantamount to treason. Listen to how
23:12
Speaker 2: the national anthem was butchered at the opening Women's Professional
23:16
Speaker 2: Baseball League game in Springfield, Illinois.
23:20
Speaker 4: Why Martha Reeves?
23:21
Speaker 9: Why?
23:22
Speaker 6: Who?
23:22
Speaker 9: The why?
23:26
Speaker 4: Or the rend?
23:29
Speaker 2: What worsal gal stream.
23:36
Speaker 3: And the rock.
23:40
Speaker 4: The move's bursting in air.
23:44
Speaker 2: Look, I'm not saying you should be locked up for
23:47
Speaker 2: doing that to the anthem.
23:49
Speaker 4: You know what, maybe I am saying.
23:51
Speaker 2: That let's bring in Emmy Award winning journalist and host
23:57
Speaker 2: of Stella News A Stella Escabedo Stella.
23:59
Speaker 4: That was painful.
24:02
Speaker 2: How can you even explain that that is supposed to
24:05
Speaker 2: be a leading musician, not just someone off the street.
24:10
Speaker 10: I mean, that was an assault on our national anthem REATA.
24:15
Speaker 10: When I heard that, I was like, what am I
24:18
Speaker 10: listening to? The good news is this league is a
24:23
Speaker 10: new woman's league for baseball.
24:25
Speaker 3: So it got some.
24:27
Speaker 10: Attention, not for the right reasons, but everyone is talking
24:31
Speaker 10: about this because of the singing. You know, it's interesting
24:34
Speaker 10: because they can create this whole league, find the players,
24:38
Speaker 10: the stadium, but they forgot to check if the singer
24:42
Speaker 10: could still hit the notes.
24:46
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's the anthem. Surely you can find someone to
24:48
Speaker 2: do the anthem. Now let's go to Michigan and another
24:53
Speaker 2: socialist has prevailed. This time it's abdul l said, who
24:58
Speaker 2: won the Democratic nomination for the US Senate, say in Michigan,
25:01
Speaker 2: defeating an established candidate, Highley Stevens. Stella tell me about
25:07
Speaker 2: this character, abdul l sayed.
25:10
Speaker 10: How much time do we have? Okay, I'm gonna tell
25:13
Speaker 10: you in a nutshell. Listen, he ran as a Democrat.
25:18
Speaker 10: He's not a Democrat. He aligns with DSA Democrat Socialist
25:22
Speaker 10: of America who are anti American. Now DSA, they're not
25:26
Speaker 10: just socialists or communists, they are Islamo Marxist. He campaigned
25:30
Speaker 10: with Hassan Piker, who said America deserved nine to eleven.
25:34
Speaker 10: I mean the tenant, the tenant of his campaign was
25:38
Speaker 10: a pak isral. But you know what's interesting is he
25:41
Speaker 10: got a lot of money from people who were either
25:45
Speaker 10: still part of CARE or were with Care. Care is
25:50
Speaker 10: an unindicted co conspirator in the largest Hamas terror financing
25:53
Speaker 10: case in US history. It is a designated terrorist organization
25:58
Speaker 10: in Florida, in Texas. He also, you know, stood up
26:02
Speaker 10: from Muslim Brotherhood when he was a professor at Columbia University.
26:05
Speaker 10: Senate Democrats case, excuse me, Senate Republicans came out with
26:08
Speaker 10: a video today basically also talking about how he aligns
26:12
Speaker 10: with Muslim brotherhood.
26:14
Speaker 3: There's a Senate.
26:14
Speaker 10: Judiciary committee going on right now as we speak about
26:17
Speaker 10: Muslim brotherhood and Abdul al Sayid was brought up because
26:21
Speaker 10: of his you know, ties to Care. His father in
26:25
Speaker 10: law was a director of Caer Michigan at one point,
26:29
Speaker 10: I mean, shall.
26:30
Speaker 4: We go on yeah, you said you could go on,
26:34
Speaker 4: and you can.
26:34
Speaker 2: I mean this character, the fact that he would openly
26:38
Speaker 2: cozy up to someone like her Son Piker, someone whose
26:42
Speaker 2: views are so hard left radical. I mean, he's called
26:47
Speaker 2: for people to be murdered. He is openly celebrated the
26:52
Speaker 2: biggest monsters of history who slaughtered millions of people. So
26:57
Speaker 2: this is a disturbing trend with saying amongst the Democrats,
27:01
Speaker 2: because they are Democrats that might call themselves democrats, socialists
27:04
Speaker 2: or socialists, but they're part of the Democratic Party that've
27:07
Speaker 2: got that day next to their name, and Elside's victory,
27:11
Speaker 2: it's going to be a bit of a reckoning for
27:14
Speaker 2: the Jewish population in Michigan.
27:16
Speaker 4: Tell me about that.
27:18
Speaker 2: Tell me about what the feeling amongst the community is there,
27:21
Speaker 2: because this man is very outspoken in his views and
27:25
Speaker 2: he's not a friend of the Jewish state to say
27:27
Speaker 2: the least.
27:29
Speaker 10: No, his core campaign was running on Apak in Israel.
27:33
Speaker 10: It was very Mundami esque like pro Palestine, where he
27:37
Speaker 10: basically aligned himself with you know, oppressor versus oppressed. He
27:41
Speaker 10: went really hard after the black community. A lot of
27:44
Speaker 10: the black community, though, did not vote for him because
27:46
Speaker 10: that was the core Tenet, you know, the Dei movement,
27:49
Speaker 10: the intersectionality of like, my people in the Middle East
27:52
Speaker 10: are oppressed, and therefore you are oppressed in America.
27:55
Speaker 3: He is not a friend of the Jewish people.
27:57
Speaker 10: There was a terrorist attack at a synagogue in Michigan,
28:01
Speaker 10: and he basically came out and said, hurt people, hurt people.
28:05
Speaker 10: And the man who was behind this terrorist attack a synagogue,
28:09
Speaker 10: his brother was, you know, a commander in Hesbola. He
28:13
Speaker 10: also came out today and he tried to guess like
28:17
Speaker 10: the Jewish people and pander for the Jewish votes like
28:20
Speaker 10: Mandami did. And he said to my Jewish brothers and sisters,
28:24
Speaker 10: I would like to break bread with you on Satyr.
28:27
Speaker 10: He knows nothing about Judaism because Satyr is Passover and
28:31
Speaker 10: on Passover we don't eat bread.
28:33
Speaker 3: We eat matza.
28:36
Speaker 4: Now you're so right.
28:38
Speaker 2: And there is a lot of man Dani about him,
28:41
Speaker 2: just his persona, the way he campaigns. You can see
28:45
Speaker 2: the parallels there, not just in their policies. And he's
28:49
Speaker 2: also sensitive about his full name being mispronounced.
28:53
Speaker 4: Listen to this.
28:54
Speaker 1: You know they think they want to use my whole
28:56
Speaker 1: name against me, Mike.
28:57
Speaker 8: Listen, man, if you can't say the name is abdra man,
29:00
Speaker 8: keep the name out.
29:00
Speaker 1: Your damn mouth.
29:03
Speaker 2: And the man who is a devout Muslim has an
29:06
Speaker 2: interesting Instagram algorithm.
29:09
Speaker 8: The things that I actually look at on Instagram. Right,
29:11
Speaker 8: of course we get served that on your for you page,
29:13
Speaker 8: but then like every third video that scrolls on its
29:17
Speaker 8: own is going to be some OnlyFans model and it's
29:19
Speaker 8: because it clocked me as being a forty some year
29:22
Speaker 8: old man.
29:23
Speaker 2: Oh dude, that's not how Instagram. Well, the algorithm.
29:27
Speaker 4: Works, Stellaii. He told on himself. There didn't he uh oops.
29:33
Speaker 10: When I saw that video, Riada, I was like, no,
29:35
Speaker 10: that's not how that works.
29:37
Speaker 3: You know what's interesting. Here's an interesting observation. His wife.
29:40
Speaker 10: He's a devout Muslim, so his wife wears a hit job,
29:43
Speaker 10: but his algorithm doesn't. So there's something different about what's
29:47
Speaker 10: going on. That's not how that works. Okay, So the
29:49
Speaker 10: algorithm feeds you what you're looking at. It was interesting
29:52
Speaker 10: because after I saw that video, I went to my husband.
29:54
Speaker 10: I said, let me see your f you page. He's
29:56
Speaker 10: like what He's like, so you know, social media literate.
29:59
Speaker 10: He's like what And I go through it and it's
30:01
Speaker 10: fitness and steak and he's like, what is this all about.
30:04
Speaker 3: I'm like just checking. So he literally told on himself
30:08
Speaker 3: and go ahead.
30:10
Speaker 2: Well, I'm just like anyone who has spent any time
30:12
Speaker 2: on social media, particularly Instagram, knows how quickly the algorithm
30:18
Speaker 2: meets what you've looked at recently. So if you've looked
30:21
Speaker 2: at steak videos, you've looked at fitness videos, that's what
30:25
Speaker 2: you're going to see popping up the fitness videos from
30:27
Speaker 2: people you don't follow. But if you've been looking at
30:30
Speaker 2: bikini shots or only fans girls, well that's why your
30:33
Speaker 2: algorithm looks that way, doesn't it stow up?
30:37
Speaker 3: Absolutely? Like you said, he just told on himself.
30:40
Speaker 10: He didn't even realize. He's not even smart enough to
30:42
Speaker 10: realize what he did. But I want to quickly go
30:44
Speaker 10: back to him attacking people for not pronouncing his name correctly.
30:48
Speaker 10: You know, the last time I checked, English was the
30:52
Speaker 10: language of the United States of America. If you don't
30:56
Speaker 10: like that, then you can leave.
31:00
Speaker 2: So he doesn't use his full name, so he can't
31:03
Speaker 2: spring that on people name perhaps they've never heard and
31:07
Speaker 2: be offended if it's mispronounced. Now we are learning more
31:12
Speaker 2: and more about how badly institutions like the FBI and
31:15
Speaker 2: CIA were corrupted under the previous administration. There was revelations
31:21
Speaker 2: that the FBI opened up an investigation, a serious investigation
31:26
Speaker 2: into whether Donald Trump was wittingly or unwittingly acting as
31:30
Speaker 2: a Russian agent when he fired the then director, James
31:35
Speaker 2: Komy back in twenty and seventeen.
31:37
Speaker 4: The probe called Oxford Comma, grew out.
31:41
Speaker 2: Of Crossfire Hurricane, and we all know about Crossfire Hurricane.
31:46
Speaker 2: The Bureau's probe into mister Trump's twenty sixteen campaign was.
31:51
Speaker 4: All about whether there was collusion with the Kremlin.
31:54
Speaker 2: That whole Russian collusion hoax was still running wild stell,
32:00
Speaker 2: and these latest documents that have been released by the
32:04
Speaker 2: White House really do paint a picture of the FBI
32:08
Speaker 2: being highly political, highly partisan, and not operating as it should.
32:15
Speaker 10: No, and it's exactly what we knew when it was
32:19
Speaker 10: happening that Russia collusion had nothing to do with Russia colluding.
32:25
Speaker 10: It was always about President Trump and getting President Trump.
32:28
Speaker 10: So the latest information that we're getting is, you know,
32:31
Speaker 10: for them trying to accuse President Trump of being whatever,
32:35
Speaker 10: a spy for Russia was once again because he had
32:38
Speaker 10: fired Komi. That's why that happened. And you know, it
32:43
Speaker 10: also just proves to you just how the narrative was
32:49
Speaker 10: also being positioned in our rotten mainstream media, I mean RITA.
32:56
Speaker 10: In the United States of America, you could not turn
32:59
Speaker 10: on the new without every single headline being about Trump
33:03
Speaker 10: Russia collusion, Russia collusion when it was never, never true.
33:10
Speaker 10: And getting these papers now shows us more just how
33:15
Speaker 10: infiltrated and written, Like you said, the FBI was.
33:20
Speaker 2: Yes, it was a manufactured narrative by the Democrats that
33:25
Speaker 2: was picked up by institutions that should know better and
33:29
Speaker 2: the media. There was no scrutiny, there was no critical thinking.
33:33
Speaker 2: It was just accepted and they ran with it for
33:38
Speaker 2: four years. This wasn't a short term thing. They ran
33:42
Speaker 2: with those collusion hoaxes for four years. And Stella, I
33:46
Speaker 2: think that's really a big part of the reason why
33:49
Speaker 2: trust in the US media is at record lows. Polling
33:54
Speaker 2: that's been done show something like one in ten Republicans
33:58
Speaker 2: has any faith in the media, And I think that
34:01
Speaker 2: entire experience paint explains why.
34:05
Speaker 4: Because they lied.
34:06
Speaker 2: They lied consistently for four years on one single.
34:10
Speaker 10: Issue, and it proved to what President Trump always was
34:14
Speaker 10: saying fake news, fake news. They tried to shove this
34:17
Speaker 10: down our throats only for it to be fake. And
34:21
Speaker 10: then the you know, people don't trust the mainstream media
34:24
Speaker 10: because then we saw it again during COVID we saw
34:28
Speaker 10: it again. You know, we're seeing it again with other things.
34:30
Speaker 10: We're seeing it again, you know, with academia, with you know,
34:35
Speaker 10: the pro palace time movement that we have happening in
34:38
Speaker 10: the United States of America. Again, the media not questioning
34:41
Speaker 10: the most basic information that you can google, and you
34:45
Speaker 10: can you don't even need to go to Google, go
34:47
Speaker 10: to X these days and you can find videos. So yeah,
34:50
Speaker 10: the trust in I mean, listen, the trust in media
34:53
Speaker 10: was completely eroded because of that, because they try to
34:56
Speaker 10: shove that narrative down.
34:57
Speaker 3: Our throat and it was fake the entire time.
35:00
Speaker 2: Stella, we've been speaking a lot about the rotten culture
35:04
Speaker 2: of the WNBA. You've been outspoken about the treatment of
35:07
Speaker 2: Sophie Cunningham, who's been attacked, even undermined by her own
35:12
Speaker 2: coach and teammates for standing up for women's rights.
35:16
Speaker 4: Tell me about this phenomenon.
35:18
Speaker 2: I mean, I would have thought what she said was
35:20
Speaker 2: so unremarkable She was basically saying men and women are different,
35:24
Speaker 2: and women should be protected in their sport, in their
35:28
Speaker 2: locker rooms from male bodies.
35:31
Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean, I don't even want to say. She
35:34
Speaker 10: was speaking the truth, she was speaking reality. Like this
35:38
Speaker 10: woman came out in All she said was biological men
35:42
Speaker 10: do not belong in women's sports or our locker rooms.
35:45
Speaker 10: And she has been viciously attacked for it. Her fans
35:49
Speaker 10: had been viciously attacked by grown men at stadiums who
35:53
Speaker 10: are calling young women trash. The whole thing has been disgusting.
35:59
Speaker 10: And then the coaches, the coaches who these are women
36:03
Speaker 10: who coach women, who can't even come out and talk
36:08
Speaker 10: about the fact that biological men are built differently.
36:12
Speaker 3: They are coward.
36:14
Speaker 10: They are cowards, and they coward behind this narrative of it.
36:18
Speaker 10: Like you know, well, trans in women's sports, it's really
36:21
Speaker 10: not that big of a deal, you know what. It
36:23
Speaker 10: may not be the biggest deal when it comes to sports,
36:26
Speaker 10: but it is a big deal and we should be
36:29
Speaker 10: calling it out. And kudos to Sophie Cunningham for having
36:32
Speaker 10: a backbone, because these coaches, they don't have a spine,
36:36
Speaker 10: they don't have a backbone.
36:38
Speaker 2: They're cowards, absolute cowards, and so out of touch. The
36:44
Speaker 2: fans are loving Sophie, the regular everyday sports fans, but
36:49
Speaker 2: it must be difficult for her to work in an
36:51
Speaker 2: environment that's so hostile and divorced from reality. I mean,
36:55
Speaker 2: these people exist in a very small like chamber. Now,
36:59
Speaker 2: before you go, ask about Perez Hilton, the celebrity blogger,
37:03
Speaker 2: was hospitalized and is receiving medical care after a deeply
37:08
Speaker 2: disturbing TikTok live stream yesterday where he appeared to be
37:12
Speaker 2: covered in blood and using an object to cut himself repeatedly.
37:16
Speaker 2: We cannot show you even a second of that footage.
37:19
Speaker 2: At Stella, I saw about three or four seconds of
37:22
Speaker 2: that video and frankly, that was too much. This was
37:25
Speaker 2: so disturbing. Do we know what happened? And is he
37:30
Speaker 2: receiving the care that he needs?
37:33
Speaker 3: Look, I am just like you.
37:35
Speaker 10: I saw his name trending on social media, not knowing why,
37:38
Speaker 10: and so I went on X and I looked it
37:41
Speaker 10: up and I was like, it took my breath away.
37:44
Speaker 10: It was before they had taken it down, and I
37:45
Speaker 10: could not watch more than three seconds of myself. He
37:48
Speaker 10: was covered in blood, he was basically cutting himself just
37:52
Speaker 10: so that people know what he was doing. Look, we
37:56
Speaker 10: don't know what led to that. He is in a hospital,
37:59
Speaker 10: he is getting the care that he needs. He's recently
38:02
Speaker 10: openly talked about how he's getting closer to God, and
38:05
Speaker 10: you know, he was doing better. But I have to
38:07
Speaker 10: mention something. He also suffered from sepsis because of an
38:10
Speaker 10: ulcer and I looked into it and there are some
38:13
Speaker 10: symptoms that happened post sepsis. He's like four months out.
38:17
Speaker 10: That includes depression, anxiety. I'm not saying this is what
38:21
Speaker 10: it is. It could be connected, but all I have
38:24
Speaker 10: to say is I am praying for him for his
38:27
Speaker 10: children because that was so demonic.
38:30
Speaker 3: It was truly scary to watch.
38:34
Speaker 2: I genuinely was one of the most disturbing things I've
38:37
Speaker 2: seen in a long time.
38:39
Speaker 4: And yeah, we have to know it.
38:41
Speaker 2: He does have young children, so there are innocent victims
38:44
Speaker 2: here and hopefully he gets the care he needs. That
38:47
Speaker 2: look like a full psychotic break. It really was quite disturbing.
38:51
Speaker 2: Stella escibito, thank you so much for your time. Tonight
38:54
Speaker 2: still to come. Singer Tate McCrae faces backlash from the left.
38:58
Speaker 4: Kinsey Sklofi has the details. Welcome back, Nate.
39:10
Speaker 2: If you want to see cancel culture, real McCarthyism, then
39:14
Speaker 2: look no further than the entertainment industry is Singer Tate
39:17
Speaker 2: McCrae is facing backlash from the left for refusing to
39:22
Speaker 2: condemn Donald Trump. Tate has been dodging speculations she's associated
39:27
Speaker 2: with MAGA for over a year because she partnered with
39:31
Speaker 2: country superstar Morgan Wollen on a song keep in Mind.
39:35
Speaker 2: Wollen has never publicly endorsed MAGA himself, but his music
39:39
Speaker 2: has been regarded as Trump coded. Tate McCrae was asked
39:44
Speaker 2: about her politics during an interview with Variety, where she
39:47
Speaker 2: said it's pretty obvious what side of the aisle she
39:50
Speaker 2: stands on.
39:51
Speaker 4: Jordie we Now is host.
39:53
Speaker 2: Of the Kinsey Schofield Unfiltered podcast Kinsey. They Left love
39:58
Speaker 2: to pretend they are the vic terms of modern McCarthyism.
40:02
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, I love that cab. That is a
40:05
Speaker 2: gorgeous cab and it looks good on you. But yeah,
40:08
Speaker 2: they're left love to play victim. They love to pretend
40:10
Speaker 2: they're the victims of modern McCarthyism when they are the perpetrators.
40:16
Speaker 2: And that includes much of the media.
40:19
Speaker 11: Oh exactly, and Tate McCrae isn't being attacked for something
40:22
Speaker 11: she said. She's being attacked for refusing to say what
40:26
Speaker 11: activists wanted her to say, like when they tried to
40:29
Speaker 11: cancel Jerry Seinfeld for refusing to yell free Palestine in
40:33
Speaker 11: the middle of one of his shows. The entertainment industry
40:36
Speaker 11: loves to preach diversity, unless it's diversity of thought, and
40:40
Speaker 11: the moment you don't perform the correct political ritual, you're
40:43
Speaker 11: treated like a suspect. Remaining politically private shouldn't be controversial.
40:48
Speaker 11: In fact, we stress how much we miss that life
40:51
Speaker 11: in that world all the time here. If silence is
40:54
Speaker 11: now considered an endorsement, then no public figure is ever
40:57
Speaker 11: allowed to simply stay out of politics, and please, for
41:00
Speaker 11: the love of God, we would prefer that they do.
41:04
Speaker 4: Now.
41:04
Speaker 2: If you want to get a cap like that for yourself,
41:07
Speaker 2: shop dot news twenty four, dot com, dot AU. That's
41:10
Speaker 2: the place you go and you can look as good
41:13
Speaker 2: as Kinsey now. Cooking legend Martha Stewart has claimed Meghan
41:18
Speaker 2: Michael spilled details about her family's meeting with King Charles
41:23
Speaker 2: in the UK. She told people that the pair were
41:25
Speaker 2: both guests at a dinner party in California after Meghan
41:29
Speaker 2: had just returned from the UK. She said, I didn't
41:32
Speaker 2: talk to her really, more than to say a couple
41:35
Speaker 2: of words, but I know she was talking about it, Kinsey,
41:40
Speaker 2: imagine my shock. I can't believe she hasn't already talked
41:43
Speaker 2: about it on a podcast or on Netflix.
41:45
Speaker 4: So I'm not at all surprised by.
41:48
Speaker 11: This, right, but pretty mortifying for Martha Stewart to publicly
41:53
Speaker 11: call you out for clout chasing. I mean, if I'm
41:55
Speaker 11: Megan Michael, I'm dying right now. But Meghan has spent
41:59
Speaker 11: years telling she wants privacy, Yet stories about private conversations
42:04
Speaker 11: between Megan and whoever, somehow keep making into the public domain.
42:08
Speaker 11: For someone who says she values discretion, that's an awful
42:12
Speaker 11: lot of secondhand storytelling coming from dinner parties. The Sussexes
42:16
Speaker 11: have complained about leaks for years, but they don't complain
42:20
Speaker 11: about the leaks that make them look more interesting.
42:25
Speaker 4: Now.
42:25
Speaker 2: Emails published as part of the Epstein files have revealed
42:29
Speaker 2: Jeffrey Epstein was preparing to blackmail Sarah Ferguson after she
42:33
Speaker 2: tried to distance herself from the pedophile financier. In an interview,
42:38
Speaker 2: the former Duchess of York told The Evening Standard in
42:41
Speaker 2: March twenty eleven of her deep regret over her ties
42:45
Speaker 2: with Epstein and Kinsey. A legal letter sent to Sarah's
42:49
Speaker 2: lawyers in April twenty eleven following the interview called on
42:54
Speaker 2: her too, and I quite reconsider her current stance sounds
42:59
Speaker 2: a little bit sinister to me.
43:01
Speaker 11: Oh, I mean, I think those are the words of
43:04
Speaker 11: someone not just protecting their reputation. They're the words of
43:08
Speaker 11: someone who does not like being rejected. Any communication connected
43:13
Speaker 11: to Jeffrey Epstein deserves to be combed over. His pattern
43:17
Speaker 11: was influence, leverage and intimidation. But if we're being if
43:23
Speaker 11: it's just as girls here, let's not pretend like Sarah
43:25
Speaker 11: Pergerson was hard to blackmail. I mean, she was allegedly
43:28
Speaker 11: a heathen reader.
43:31
Speaker 2: She's got a lot of questions to answer, some of
43:34
Speaker 2: those emails she sent after Jeffrey Epstein was convicted on
43:40
Speaker 2: just discussing charges where she was referencing her daughters, her
43:44
Speaker 2: young daughters. I mean, I find so much of what
43:48
Speaker 2: happened and what's been revealed in the Epstein files deeply
43:52
Speaker 2: troubling Rosi o'donald she's going to be joining the rotating
43:57
Speaker 2: stable of celebrities filling in for Jimmy Kimmel during his
44:01
Speaker 2: time off. She told a podcast that she was hoping
44:04
Speaker 2: to perform a parody of If I Only had a
44:06
Speaker 2: Brain from The Wizard of Oz, targeting who else but
44:10
Speaker 2: Donald Trump, But she says ABC rejected her suggestion. Kinsey,
44:15
Speaker 2: just when you thought that Jimmy Kimmel Show couldn't get
44:19
Speaker 2: any more pathetic, here comes along Rosie. Can you just
44:23
Speaker 2: imagine what it's going to be like when she's hosting.
44:26
Speaker 11: Yeah, recycling the same Trump jokes we've heard for a decade.
44:31
Speaker 11: And if ABC rejected it, maybe even they realize audiences
44:34
Speaker 11: are exhausted by political lectures disguised as comedy. But it
44:39
Speaker 11: doesn't surprise me that Rosie would use this opportunity to
44:42
Speaker 11: take a swape at Trump. She's been pretty irrelevant lately
44:44
Speaker 11: and hasn't had a platform like this, and it's got
44:47
Speaker 11: to be hard when your harshest critic is one of
44:50
Speaker 11: the most powerful men in the world.
44:54
Speaker 2: And she wasn't invited back for the anniversary of the view.
44:58
Speaker 2: She kind of announced her return her to the view
45:01
Speaker 2: without being asked. It's fairly humiliating to have to then
45:05
Speaker 2: acknowledge that the invitation was never extended. She has been
45:09
Speaker 2: doing an inordinate number of podcasts saying the craziest things.
45:15
Speaker 2: As she says, she's determined Kinsey to return back to
45:18
Speaker 2: America because she misses her children. I can't believe you
45:24
Speaker 2: would leave a country, leave your grown children behind, just
45:28
Speaker 2: because you don't like the president.
45:30
Speaker 4: I mean, where are your priorities?
45:33
Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean you probably do miss your children when
45:35
Speaker 11: they're in the slammer, don't you.
45:38
Speaker 4: I mean, I don't know what to say.
45:40
Speaker 11: Yeah, this is She's at least we're here. We should
45:44
Speaker 11: give her credit for being one of the celebrities that
45:46
Speaker 11: actually did flee the country after they swore up and
45:48
Speaker 11: down that they were going to leave if Donald Trump
45:51
Speaker 11: became president. I still see Miley Cyrus on the streets
45:53
Speaker 11: of Sunset Boulevard. You know, Cher is still a resident
45:57
Speaker 11: of this country, so Barbara Streissan, it's still paying those taxes.
46:01
Speaker 11: So it's like, I'll give her credit for relieving albeit briefly,
46:05
Speaker 11: because she is back in the game. She's got a
46:07
Speaker 11: new facelift, she's got to pay for and she's ready
46:10
Speaker 11: to work.
46:10
Speaker 2: Reader she does have a new facelift, I would yeah,
46:16
Speaker 2: I want to know who her doctor is so I
46:17
Speaker 2: can avoid them when it's time for my facelift.
46:21
Speaker 9: Now.
46:21
Speaker 2: Keith Urban is said to be heartbroken after learning that
46:24
Speaker 2: Nicole Kidman has moved on with a new man. Kidman
46:28
Speaker 2: was seen looking rather affectionate with private equity businessman Michael Reinstein.
46:34
Speaker 2: Kinsey and Insider told New Idea that Urban had hopes
46:38
Speaker 2: that he and Kidman might one day repair their relationship.
46:42
Speaker 4: I mean, I would have thought that would be hard.
46:43
Speaker 4: Didn't he cheat on her allegedly? Allegedly?
46:47
Speaker 11: This is not Yeah, this is not the first story
46:49
Speaker 11: like this that we've discussed, and I'm a little cynical here.
46:52
Speaker 11: I have to wonder if Team Urban plants them for
46:56
Speaker 11: sympathy if these reports are true. It's always sad when
46:59
Speaker 11: a long marriage comes to an end. Beyond that, to
47:03
Speaker 11: your point, reports suggested it was actually Keith that pulled
47:06
Speaker 11: the trigger, So we'd hope Nicole would find someone else
47:09
Speaker 11: to love and appreciate her. But both parties are high
47:12
Speaker 11: profile brands and they're going to try to protect that brand.
47:16
Speaker 11: So I'm sure Keith would love to play the victim
47:18
Speaker 11: these days, But I'm team Nicole forever.
47:22
Speaker 4: I'm team Nicole on this one.
47:24
Speaker 2: And I like the fact that she's with this private
47:27
Speaker 2: equity dude who's not seeking fame. He seems to be
47:31
Speaker 2: his own man, ridiculously wealthy, and hopefully he's been good
47:36
Speaker 2: to her because she's had some shockers in the past.
47:39
Speaker 4: Now, before you go, Sean Diddy.
47:41
Speaker 2: Combe's prison release has changed again following a recent prison brawl.
47:47
Speaker 2: The disgrace hip hop mogul is now set to get
47:50
Speaker 2: out of prison on feb.
47:51
Speaker 4: Twenty, twenty twenty eight.
47:53
Speaker 2: Kinsey, the prison brawl saw him land in solitary confinement.
47:58
Speaker 4: What else do we know about what happened?
48:01
Speaker 11: Well, I mean, I just sit back and ask myself,
48:05
Speaker 11: along with Epstein, where are all of the other people
48:08
Speaker 11: that were tied to both.
48:10
Speaker 4: Of these stories?
48:11
Speaker 11: And why are Jeffrey Epstein and Diddy the only individuals
48:15
Speaker 11: that are being held accountable? If there was so much
48:18
Speaker 11: talk about these other high profile celebrity people, Bill, you know,
48:22
Speaker 11: whether it was Bill Gates or Kevin Hart, God Love
48:25
Speaker 11: Kevin Hart or some of these other people attached to them,
48:29
Speaker 11: are we really just going to pretend like the story
48:32
Speaker 11: ends here, and I mean, maybe we'll revisit it when
48:34
Speaker 11: he's released in twenty twenty eight, but I'm patiently waiting
48:38
Speaker 11: to see if anybody.
48:39
Speaker 4: Else is held accountable.
48:41
Speaker 11: If we're really dealing with sex trafficking, that's a serious
48:45
Speaker 11: you know, that's a serious accusation.
48:48
Speaker 2: Absolutely my thoughts exactly. We were told so much about
48:52
Speaker 2: the rich and powerful people who were part taking in
48:56
Speaker 2: these freak off parties, who were perhaps taking advantage of
49:00
Speaker 2: trafficked young women, and yet we haven't had any arrests,
49:04
Speaker 2: any investigations that we know of. Really nothing has come
49:08
Speaker 2: of it. It seems like Diddy was the only criminal
49:11
Speaker 2: in that enterprise. Kinsey Schofield, thank you so much for
49:15
Speaker 2: your time.
49:16
Speaker 4: And that's it for me. Up next it's late edition.
49:19
Speaker 4: Good night,
