- 0:08Speaker 2: Good evening and welcome to the Rita Panicky Show. I'm
- 0:11Speaker 2: Denika di Giorgio filling in Coming up tonight. A Chinese
- 0:15Speaker 2: spy group found to have infiltrated the public and private
- 0:18Speaker 2: sector has been named and shamed. The always brilliant Douglas
- 0:23Speaker 2: Murray weighs in on Joe Biden's ongoing cognitive spiral.
- 0:27Speaker 3: France in crisis as the far left takes over.
- 0:31Speaker 2: Ralph Scholhammer will join us all the latest celebrity in
- 0:35Speaker 2: Royal News with d D Dunlevy and of course Left
- 0:39Speaker 2: He's losing it featuring the masculinity Retreat when men pay
- 0:43Speaker 2: ten thousand dollars to float at a pool and cry
- 0:55Speaker 2: with Joe joinny me Now is Deputy Executive director of
- 1:00Speaker 2: the Institute of Public Affairs.
- 1:02Speaker 4: Daniel Wilde, Daniel, good to see you.
- 1:04Speaker 2: Let's start with the National Disability Insurance Scheme.
- 1:07Speaker 4: We know it's in a mess. It's costing taxpayers a bomb.
- 1:10Speaker 2: It already costs more than Medicare and will soon outstrip Defense.
- 1:14Speaker 2: Now sex work services on the NDIS are back in
- 1:17Speaker 2: the spotlight. The Guardian is today asking is it a
- 1:21Speaker 2: real issue or just a red herring. So, Daniel, I'll
- 1:26Speaker 2: ask you, courtesy of the Guardian's journalism sex worker is
- 1:30Speaker 2: a real issue or a red herring when it comes
- 1:33Speaker 2: to the NDIS, Well, it is a real issue.
- 1:37Speaker 5: We've seen a lot of routing behavior, inappropriate service provider
- 1:41Speaker 5: behavior that's been taking place, and I think that it's
- 1:44Speaker 5: good that they're addressed, or I know the government seeking
- 1:46Speaker 5: to address some of those issues. I think it gets
- 1:49Speaker 5: to a bigger issue, which is that, of course we
- 1:51Speaker 5: want the NDIS to work. We want Australians who have
- 1:54Speaker 5: a disability to be taken care of. But all too
- 1:56Speaker 5: often the NDIS seems to be serving the interest the
- 2:00Speaker 5: bureaucracy and of the service providers rather than those who
- 2:03Speaker 5: really need access to the services. And of course taxpayers
- 2:06Speaker 5: are being fleeced on the way through. The issue you've
- 2:09Speaker 5: got here, Deniker, is that the government has said, under
- 2:12Speaker 5: the best case scenario, they want to limit the growth
- 2:15Speaker 5: of the NDIS to eight percent per year. Well, the
- 2:18Speaker 5: economy is growing at four percent in nominal terms, so
- 2:21Speaker 5: you've got NDIS that's going to be at least growing
- 2:24Speaker 5: at double the raiders the entire economy, So we need
- 2:27Speaker 5: structural reform to make sure it's sustainable, not just tinkering
- 2:29Speaker 5: around the edges.
- 2:30Speaker 2: Absolutely, and let's not forget the ndis a very important scheme,
- 2:34Speaker 2: but it was only designed for the most severely disabled.
- 2:38Speaker 4: Now you've got.
- 2:38Speaker 2: Every man and their dog trying to get a slice
- 2:41Speaker 2: of the pie and it is simply not working. So
- 2:43Speaker 2: certainly these reforms are needed now. A Chinese cyber espionage group,
- 2:47Speaker 2: which has already infiltrated public and private sector networks in Australia, has.
- 2:52Speaker 4: Been named as APT forty.
- 2:55Speaker 2: The Australian Signals Director and says the group has waged
- 2:59Speaker 2: a years long hacking campaign on behalf of China's Ministry
- 3:03Speaker 2: of State Security.
- 3:04Speaker 4: Daniel, I've got to ask.
- 3:05Speaker 2: Because, as you know, Australia just rolled out the red
- 3:08Speaker 2: carpet for the Chinese premiere Labor has today chosen to
- 3:12Speaker 2: name and.
- 3:13Speaker 4: Shame this group.
- 3:14Speaker 2: But I wonder did Albo even raise this with Premier
- 3:17Speaker 2: Lee last month?
- 3:18Speaker 1: Well, I wouldn't bank on it. And you know, here
- 3:20Speaker 1: we go again.
- 3:21Speaker 5: This is not the first time this kind of behavior
- 3:23Speaker 5: has taken place. Of course, there's an important trading relationship
- 3:27Speaker 5: with China. We want that to be maintained, but we
- 3:30Speaker 5: also need to be aware that, you know, China has
- 3:32Speaker 5: a really the Chinese Communist Party, not so much the
- 3:35Speaker 5: Chinese people, but the Chinese Communist Party that run the
- 3:37Speaker 5: country have a pattern of repeated behavior. They have very
- 3:41Speaker 5: ambitious and expansionist geopolitical intentions. We know that with the
- 3:45Speaker 5: One Belt, One Road, the Made in China twenty twenty
- 3:47Speaker 5: five around advanced technology, and all you have to do
- 3:50Speaker 5: is look at policies like net zero. Net zero will
- 3:53Speaker 5: be a boon for China because they are the world's
- 3:56Speaker 5: main manufacturer of solar panels, wind turbines and processing of
- 3:59Speaker 5: the critical minerals, but its countries like Australia that lose out.
- 4:03Speaker 5: So we need our political leaders to be aware that
- 4:06Speaker 5: China is seeking to reorientate the global economic supply chains
- 4:09Speaker 5: around it, and we see this sort of espionage behavior
- 4:13Speaker 5: as a part of a much broader agenda. We've also
- 4:16Speaker 5: seen it with the Confucian centers at Australian universities, which
- 4:19Speaker 5: were hugely concerning. So I'm not too sure whether our
- 4:22Speaker 5: leaders are taking this with the seriousness that it deserves, and.
- 4:25Speaker 2: It certainly needs to be taken very seriously.
- 4:28Speaker 4: Now I have a listen to this.
- 4:29Speaker 2: Channel seven has confirmed a controversial change to its TV
- 4:33Speaker 2: news bulletins that will feature would you believe an astrology
- 4:37Speaker 2: report from astro Tash Now, this is a twenty second
- 4:41Speaker 2: astrology report after the weather on the six pm bulletin,
- 4:45Speaker 2: along with a weekly comedy skit on Fridays by comedian
- 4:48Speaker 2: Mark Humphreys Daniel. Look, hopefully the astrology report will predict
- 4:52Speaker 2: how long seven has left before the lights go out
- 4:55Speaker 2: on these ridiculous segments.
- 5:00Speaker 5: They need more stars at Channel seven. But I'm not
- 5:02Speaker 5: sure this is what viewers really had in mind. But
- 5:06Speaker 5: I'd say, look, this is the dumbing down of the
- 5:09Speaker 5: news and the dumbing down of mainstream media that we're
- 5:11Speaker 5: seeing across network television. For many years, you know, the
- 5:14Speaker 5: six o'clock news, not necessarily just a Channel seven, but
- 5:17Speaker 5: across the board used to be mandatory viewing for Australians.
- 5:20Speaker 5: It was informed and Australians are hungry for proper information,
- 5:25Speaker 5: for debate, for serious content. We saw that with the
- 5:28Speaker 5: Voice to Parliament debate last year that Australians wanted to
- 5:30Speaker 5: be involved, They wanted to learn about it. So look,
- 5:34Speaker 5: I just think this is an example of why many Australians,
- 5:38Speaker 5: and indeed many people around the world, are starting to
- 5:40Speaker 5: get their news from other platforms, including on social media,
- 5:44Speaker 5: because you know, if this is what you're getting from
- 5:47Speaker 5: the network television, then it's no wonder that people are
- 5:49Speaker 5: sort of reconsidering their options.
- 5:51Speaker 4: Yeah, you can absolutely say why. I look forward to
- 5:53Speaker 4: seeing how this one goes.
- 5:54Speaker 2: Now, more than two three hundred people sought asylum in
- 5:58Speaker 2: Australia after arriving by from relatively stable countries. The Daily
- 6:03Speaker 2: Telegraph reports it's the highest of any month since the
- 6:06Speaker 2: Albanese government came to power. Daniel, I've got to say
- 6:10Speaker 2: the ghosts of the Rudd Gillard Rudd years are circling
- 6:13Speaker 2: this current labor government. It really feels like we're back
- 6:16Speaker 2: open for business again.
- 6:19Speaker 5: It does, and I think since day one of this
- 6:22Speaker 5: government there's been a failure on our migration policy. We've
- 6:26Speaker 5: seen the criminal detainees, we've seen the boat arrivals and
- 6:30Speaker 5: so on, but also just the size of the legal
- 6:32Speaker 5: program and we've had over a million net arrivals over
- 6:36Speaker 5: the last two financial years, by far the biggest surge
- 6:40Speaker 5: to our population in our nation's history. There's been no
- 6:44Speaker 5: planning for this whatsoever. With schools, roads, hospitals, housing, there's
- 6:48Speaker 5: a housing shortage and crisis with rent and affordability of purchasing.
- 6:53Speaker 5: We know that it's not working. Economically. Per capita growth
- 6:56Speaker 5: is going backwards. You know, we've had five consecutive cord
- 7:00Speaker 5: of negative per cape economic growth. That's the first time
- 7:04Speaker 5: that's happened on record, and those records go back to
- 7:06Speaker 5: the early nineteen seventies.
- 7:07Speaker 3: Yeah, it's not working, and I think migration is now
- 7:10Speaker 3: an acute vote driving issue.
- 7:12Speaker 2: Daniel Wilde, thank you so much for joining us, joining
- 7:16Speaker 2: me now. Is author of international best sellers, including The
- 7:19Speaker 2: Strange Death of Europe, The Madness of Crowds, and his latest.
- 7:23Speaker 4: Book, The War on the West.
- 7:25Speaker 2: Douglas Murray Douglas, thanks for joining us. Let's start with
- 7:30Speaker 2: the situation with Joe Biden, whose mental incompetence has become
- 7:34Speaker 2: really the laughing stock of the world. Here is an
- 7:37Speaker 2: exchange between Fox News reporter Peter Doucey at White House
- 7:42Speaker 2: Press secretary at Karine Jean Pierre, where he asks a
- 7:45Speaker 2: legitimate question about how the president, who needs more sleep,
- 7:48Speaker 2: can't do anything after eight PM would handle a national
- 7:52Speaker 2: security situation.
- 7:55Speaker 1: He also said he sharp.
- 7:57Speaker 6: Is before EPM that the Pentagon at some point picks
- 8:02Speaker 6: up an incoming nuke.
- 8:03Speaker 1: It's eleven pm. Who do you com't the first lady?
- 8:07Speaker 6: He has a team that lets him know of any
- 8:10Speaker 6: of any.
- 8:11Speaker 7: News that is pertinent and important to the American people.
- 8:14Speaker 7: He has someone or that is decided obviously with his
- 8:18Speaker 7: National security council, and who gets to tell.
- 8:21Speaker 4: Him that news?
- 8:22Speaker 2: Douglas, The best she could say is, well, we've got
- 8:25Speaker 2: a whole tame not we would wipe the president immediately in.
- 8:28Speaker 4: The event of a nuke.
- 8:30Speaker 2: Has this now gotten to the point where it's dangerous?
- 8:34Speaker 8: It's long past that point. I'm afraid because the question
- 8:38Speaker 8: that is on everybody's lips in America is who then
- 8:42Speaker 8: is running the country? Who exactly is running it? Who's
- 8:45Speaker 8: running it after four pm in the afternoon or whenever
- 8:48Speaker 8: it is that we're told that Biden starts to wind
- 8:50Speaker 8: down for the day. Are they confident about waking him
- 8:55Speaker 8: in the night? Clearly not. Queen Jean Pierre behaves. What
- 8:59Speaker 8: has ever, as if it's just impertinent to ask any
- 9:02Speaker 8: question of the Sun King and his court, and it's
- 9:07Speaker 8: very troubling. What the American public have seen growing for
- 9:12Speaker 8: a long time, in which the Democrat media have had
- 9:14Speaker 8: admit since the catastrophic debate with Trump the other week,
- 9:18Speaker 8: is that that Biden is not on top of his game,
- 9:21Speaker 8: to say the very least. And so where is the
- 9:24Speaker 8: direction of the country, where is the security of the country,
- 9:28Speaker 8: And all we get to these sort of miffed and
- 9:31Speaker 8: peeved answers from the White House press spokeswoman, and really,
- 9:37Speaker 8: you know that these are questions that should be asked,
- 9:39Speaker 8: and that furthermore, there are questions should be answered.
- 9:43Speaker 3: Well.
- 9:43Speaker 2: Absolutely, And following the US presidential debate, it was interesting
- 9:48Speaker 2: because you wrote you said, you don't think an American
- 9:51Speaker 2: journalist meaning or would be sitting in a cell in
- 9:54Speaker 2: Moscow or American hostages in Gaza if the word world
- 9:58Speaker 2: feared America. Now the president of the free world is
- 10:02Speaker 2: clearly a bumbling mess. Makes no sense not being taken
- 10:07Speaker 2: seriously here.
- 10:09Speaker 4: This is highly problematic. The world doesn't say the US
- 10:12Speaker 4: is a genuine threat.
- 10:15Speaker 8: Well, I mean, you know, there's still plenty to be
- 10:17Speaker 8: said about the US and plenty of force in it.
- 10:20Speaker 8: It's just that the direction of travel under this president
- 10:24Speaker 8: is so extraordinarily unclear.
- 10:27Speaker 1: We've seen that.
- 10:28Speaker 8: I know, we've all been told by the courtiers of
- 10:31Speaker 8: the Biden family for years that he's absolutely on top
- 10:35Speaker 8: of his game, that he absorbs things so fast, and
- 10:39Speaker 8: he asks such devastatingly pertinent questions of the people briefing him.
- 10:44Speaker 8: But nobody believes that anymore. And if the average swing
- 10:48Speaker 8: voter finds that hard to believe and they're inclined to
- 10:51Speaker 8: sort of favor the president of the United States, imagine
- 10:54Speaker 8: what Vladimir Putin thinks, or the Mullers in Tehran who
- 10:59Speaker 8: are guiding Hamaz, or the regime in Katar which hosts
- 11:03Speaker 8: terrorists whilst pretending to play middleman. It's an extremely worrying situation.
- 11:08Speaker 8: As I mentioned in that column in the New York Post. Yes,
- 11:12Speaker 8: there are American hostages in Gaza in Moscow, and I
- 11:16Speaker 8: don't think that would be the situation if the world
- 11:19Speaker 8: recognized that the superpower America was something to be fearful of, you,
- 11:25Speaker 8: that you cannot steal its citizens with impunity, and that
- 11:30Speaker 8: lesson you know, I mean, it was recently said, you
- 11:33Speaker 8: probably heard, it's been confirmed from other sources that on
- 11:36Speaker 8: the way out of the White House when Trump was
- 11:38Speaker 8: trying to negotiate the withdrawal from Afghanistan with the Taliban leaders.
- 11:43Speaker 8: But apparently he said, you know, you're not going to
- 11:45Speaker 8: touch a single hair on an American service person's head
- 11:48Speaker 8: on the way out, or I'll kill you, And then
- 11:51Speaker 8: just for emphasis, showed the Taliban leader that he had
- 11:54Speaker 8: a photograph from the air of the Taliban leader's house. Now,
- 11:59Speaker 8: I think that is is a suitable way for a
- 12:01Speaker 8: strong power to defend its citizens, for democracy to defend
- 12:05Speaker 8: its citizens. And you know, it's just night and day
- 12:09Speaker 8: difference set and I'm afraid that Americans and the rest
- 12:12Speaker 8: of the world are learning this.
- 12:15Speaker 2: So just on that, then what should Trump do if
- 12:18Speaker 2: he's reelected? What message does he need to be sending.
- 12:23Speaker 8: Oh, I think on the hostages, the message is extremely clear.
- 12:27Speaker 8: It's you will release the hostages on the first day
- 12:31Speaker 8: of my presidency. You better keep them in the best
- 12:33Speaker 8: possible condition until then, because if you don't, and you
- 12:38Speaker 8: don't release them the day I come back into office,
- 12:41Speaker 8: there isn't a tunnel or a bunker deep enough view
- 12:44Speaker 8: to escape from me. That would be the message. And
- 12:47Speaker 8: I think that I think that it would be heard.
- 12:51Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 12:52Speaker 2: Absolutely. Now, look just on Joe Biden. He spoke at
- 12:55Speaker 2: the NATO summit overnight. He started off with some strong
- 12:59Speaker 2: words on the Ukraine war.
- 13:01Speaker 9: And we know Puton won't stop at Ukraine. Would make
- 13:04Speaker 9: no mistake, Ukraine can and will stop Putin.
- 13:10Speaker 4: But then, true to form, he started stumbling.
- 13:14Speaker 9: For five additionals to the DIGA defense system.
- 13:17Speaker 2: I don't know what he said there, And then as
- 13:19Speaker 2: he started walking off stage, she clearly had no idea
- 13:23Speaker 2: where he was or who he was with. Douglas Sisters
- 13:43Speaker 2: goes to the point that you were making earlier that
- 13:46Speaker 2: he's not being taken seriously on the world stage. We're
- 13:49Speaker 2: talking an important global event, the NATO summit, where the
- 13:53Speaker 2: Ukraine War is being discussed, an important discussion, and get
- 13:57Speaker 2: the president doesn't know where he is.
- 14:00Speaker 4: He's becoming a joke.
- 14:02Speaker 8: Well, we've had this week the news that he usually
- 14:05Speaker 8: gets a briefing that includes I mean, this is horrible
- 14:09Speaker 8: to say, it's so cruel, but he apparently gets these
- 14:11Speaker 8: briefings where it shows photographs of how to get to
- 14:14Speaker 8: the stage, where the podium is, where to walk on,
- 14:17Speaker 8: where to walk off. You can't really pretend that this
- 14:20Speaker 8: is a man at the height of his powers, or
- 14:24Speaker 8: even with any real powers. It's very sad, and I
- 14:28Speaker 8: think that, you know, the people who support the Democrats
- 14:33Speaker 8: in America or would like to vote against Trump should
- 14:36Speaker 8: just reflect on what their instinct is when they see
- 14:39Speaker 8: something like that. Do they think this guy has got
- 14:42Speaker 8: another four years in him or do they think as
- 14:45Speaker 8: many of us do. This is cruel of Jill Biden
- 14:49Speaker 8: and Hunter Biden and the rest of the family not
- 14:52Speaker 8: to be saying to him, step down now, Joe, allow
- 14:55Speaker 8: a new generation to come in, leave with some dignity,
- 15:00Speaker 8: protect your legacy, and pass the baton on. It's cruel
- 15:05Speaker 8: that they're not saying that. And there's going to be
- 15:07Speaker 8: just more and more of this and just one other
- 15:10Speaker 8: quick thing. You know, the job of the President of
- 15:12Speaker 8: the United States is not just to occasionally read an
- 15:15Speaker 8: auto Q in front of allies. It is much much
- 15:20Speaker 8: more than that. It is directing policy, it is deciding policy.
- 15:24Speaker 1: Uh.
- 15:24Speaker 8: He he does these speeches where he gets sort of angry.
- 15:27Speaker 8: He can whip himself up into an anger still sometimes
- 15:30Speaker 8: when reading the auto Q. But if if he meant
- 15:32Speaker 8: what he just said about Ukraine, then then why has
- 15:35Speaker 8: America not been providing Ukraine with all of the weaponry
- 15:39Speaker 8: it's been asking for in this period, Whether you agree
- 15:41Speaker 8: with it or not, Biden says, you know, we're gonna
- 15:43Speaker 8: we're gonna stop Vladimir Putin, but then then doesn't act
- 15:46Speaker 8: on it. I mean, I think there's these are the
- 15:49Speaker 8: sort of it feels like a late Empire problem, and
- 15:52Speaker 8: I hope it's not.
- 15:54Speaker 4: Well, look, let's hope that it's not.
- 15:56Speaker 2: And just just on that point, you know, he's got
- 15:58Speaker 2: these big photos of how you need to walk from
- 16:01Speaker 2: the stage to the podium. There's reports that White House
- 16:05Speaker 2: advisors for more than a year have had to aggressively
- 16:09Speaker 2: stage manage his schedule, his movements, his interactions. You know, Douglas,
- 16:15Speaker 2: how long can the White House and Jill Biden, as
- 16:19Speaker 2: you mentioned, the Biden family, how long can they really
- 16:22Speaker 2: keep up this facade if he is to go another term.
- 16:28Speaker 1: They can't.
- 16:28Speaker 8: They can't. It's perfectly clear, and with every day they
- 16:33Speaker 8: just can't keep it up. I mean, they will for
- 16:35Speaker 8: a little time, but the longer they leave it, the
- 16:38Speaker 8: more humiliating it's going to be for everybody, not least
- 16:41Speaker 8: the America. The harder it'll be for the Democrats to
- 16:44Speaker 8: find a candidate or a running mate, and a candidate
- 16:49Speaker 8: who can be introduced to the American public in time
- 16:52Speaker 8: for the polls in November. You know, the longer the
- 16:55Speaker 8: Bidens leave this, the worst it is for the Bidens,
- 16:58Speaker 8: the worst it is for America, and the worst it
- 16:59Speaker 8: is for their political party. You know, that's what makes
- 17:04Speaker 8: no sense, when when your political opponents are running rings
- 17:09Speaker 8: around you and ridiculing you, when your rivals on the
- 17:14Speaker 8: world stage are mocking you, when your own side is saying,
- 17:19Speaker 8: in the name of God, go and you cling on,
- 17:24Speaker 8: there's something cruel about that. There's something very unusual about it.
- 17:28Speaker 2: Certainly, well, you just would want to say a loved
- 17:30Speaker 2: one in that position. It's just extraordinary that they're letting
- 17:33Speaker 2: this go on for so long. Look, let's move on now,
- 17:36Speaker 2: because three Columbia University deans have been removed from their
- 17:41Speaker 2: positions and placed on indefinitely over text messages they sent
- 17:46Speaker 2: during a panel about Jewish life on campus that quote
- 17:49Speaker 2: disturbingly touched on ancient anti Semitic tropes. Now, Douglas, we
- 17:55Speaker 2: know this university has failed on many fronts. That let
- 17:57Speaker 2: pro Palestine protesters run rampant ad encampments. And now this
- 18:02Speaker 2: what does it say about the state of the university system.
- 18:06Speaker 8: Well, it says nobody should send their kids to Columbia,
- 18:09Speaker 8: nobody should give any money to Columbia. Columbia should not
- 18:12Speaker 8: have federal funding labor. Look, I mean, it's just a
- 18:16Speaker 8: total mess. There's no reason. Whatever students think about international affairs,
- 18:22Speaker 8: there is nothing that should allow them to shut down
- 18:25Speaker 8: the study of other students on campus, prevent students from
- 18:29Speaker 8: learning even as they're getting into significant personal debt. And
- 18:34Speaker 8: what's more, to get away with screaming at Jewish students
- 18:37Speaker 8: things like go back to Poland or saying these Jewish
- 18:43Speaker 8: students should be the next targets of Hamaz, both of
- 18:46Speaker 8: which were things that were screamed at Jewish students on
- 18:48Speaker 8: the Columbia campus. Then for them to be a hearing
- 18:51Speaker 8: about those sorts of racist slurs, and for these dems
- 18:57Speaker 8: to be actually engaging in more racism during it, you
- 19:01Speaker 8: just have to do the experiment any other way. If
- 19:04Speaker 8: there had been an anti black protest on campus at
- 19:09Speaker 8: Columbia for an hour, it would have been shut down.
- 19:13Speaker 8: It would not have been allowed. If there was a
- 19:16Speaker 8: protest on Columbia's campus that went on for weeks and
- 19:19Speaker 8: weeks calling for the lynching of black people. I don't
- 19:23Speaker 8: think that it would be difficult for everyone in American
- 19:27Speaker 8: society and particularly the faculty, to condemn any students and
- 19:31Speaker 8: outside is engaging in that. And what's more, if there
- 19:33Speaker 8: was a hearing about that and there were racial slurs
- 19:36Speaker 8: being hurled around about black students by deans and employees
- 19:40Speaker 8: of the university, all hell would be let loose. In fact,
- 19:43Speaker 8: I suspect that the campus would be over. I suspect
- 19:46Speaker 8: that Columbia's storied and rich history would come to an
- 19:49Speaker 8: end that day. But it wasn't black students, it was Jews.
- 19:54Speaker 8: And this just shows one of the appalling standards of
- 19:58Speaker 8: our time. Columbia students have been let down by their authorities,
- 20:04Speaker 8: but this is a spiral that that institution is in.
- 20:08Speaker 8: These are always elite things when you're talking about sort
- 20:11Speaker 8: of Ivy League colleges, but this just shows how rotten
- 20:15Speaker 8: elite institutions can become.
- 20:19Speaker 2: Absolutely, the double standards on display have just been astonishing,
- 20:23Speaker 2: and not just at Columbia. We've seen it all around
- 20:25Speaker 2: the world, even here in Australia.
- 20:26Speaker 4: It's just been terrible at these universities.
- 20:29Speaker 2: Now New York City hotels housing migrants have brought in
- 20:33Speaker 2: would you believe, over a billion dollars in taxpayer funds
- 20:37Speaker 2: since converting their buildings into migrant shelters. That's according to
- 20:41Speaker 2: the New York Post Douglas, New York City is spending
- 20:44Speaker 2: an average of one hundred and fifty six US.
- 20:47Speaker 3: Dollars per room per night on hotel rooms that house migrants,
- 20:51Speaker 3: some up to three hundred dollars.
- 20:55Speaker 4: Where do you draw the line here? This is out
- 20:56Speaker 4: of control.
- 20:59Speaker 8: The whole thing's been out of con for a long time.
- 21:02Speaker 8: Sanctuary cities in the US, I'm afraid reaping what they sowed.
- 21:08Speaker 8: They said, you know, these are places where illegal migrants
- 21:11Speaker 8: can come. And the illegal migrants came and there was
- 21:15Speaker 8: nowhere for them. And so the authorities in New York
- 21:17Speaker 8: have got into this racket. And by the way, it
- 21:20Speaker 8: is a racket. The huge spending on hotels, I mean,
- 21:26Speaker 8: it's apart from being preposterous, there are people who very
- 21:29Speaker 8: cynically benefit from that, who have got into the business
- 21:33Speaker 8: of this, and who are raking in the taxpayers' money
- 21:38Speaker 8: as they put up all of these people who shouldn't
- 21:41Speaker 8: be in the US. And I say that completely straightforward,
- 21:44Speaker 8: because you know, everywhere in the twenty first century, migration
- 21:48Speaker 8: is going to be an issue. Everywhere that is a
- 21:50Speaker 8: developed country is going to be under pressure. In this century,
- 21:54Speaker 8: the mass movement of people has never been easier. And
- 21:58Speaker 8: unfortunately that very time time, countries like America have decided
- 22:03Speaker 8: to punish people who go to the legal route and
- 22:06Speaker 8: a reward people who've gone the illegal route. And if
- 22:09Speaker 8: you're a legal worker in the United States, have gone
- 22:13Speaker 8: through all the right things, paid your lawyers, got your
- 22:16Speaker 8: papers in order, and all of that, you're the mug
- 22:19Speaker 8: because it turned out you could just walk over the
- 22:21Speaker 8: border and you could be put up in a three
- 22:24Speaker 8: hundred dollars a night hotel with a swimming pool, which
- 22:26Speaker 8: is not an exaggeration. In New York City, in the
- 22:29Speaker 8: heart of Manhattan. Nobody has a right to live in Manhattan.
- 22:33Speaker 8: Nobody has a right to live in the most expensive
- 22:36Speaker 8: bit of real estate in the world. But why do
- 22:39Speaker 8: so many Democrats think that if you come illegally, you
- 22:43Speaker 8: actually do have that right. It's inexplicable, not least, but
- 22:47Speaker 8: it undercuts their own voter base. They may think they're
- 22:51Speaker 8: importing a new voter base. I've got news for them.
- 22:53Speaker 8: It undercuts their own voter base because if you go
- 22:56Speaker 8: to those hotels in New York City where the illegal
- 22:58Speaker 8: migrants of being housed filled outside with delivery bicycles, because
- 23:04Speaker 8: all of these guys, and they're mainly guys, do illegal
- 23:07Speaker 8: work for delivery companies and totally destroy the legal workforce.
- 23:12Speaker 8: So good luck the Worker's Party, who thought you were
- 23:16Speaker 8: doing anything good for your country by actually just letting
- 23:19Speaker 8: the borders go.
- 23:20Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 23:21Speaker 2: Meanwhile, there's a cost of living crisis in the United States.
- 23:25Speaker 2: People can't even afford to be in a home. Yet
- 23:27Speaker 2: the illegals get this handed on a silver platter. It's
- 23:30Speaker 2: just shocking. Now, let's talk about the UK election result.
- 23:33Speaker 2: You wrote about how the Tories only have themselves to
- 23:38Speaker 2: blame for what occurred over the weekend.
- 23:40Speaker 4: Where do you think it all went wrong for them?
- 23:44Speaker 8: Around about two thousand and six, in my view, David
- 23:48Speaker 8: Cameron announced that he was going to detoxify the Conservative Party.
- 23:54Speaker 8: He just made it wooly and boke. All the promises
- 23:59Speaker 8: that he made, such as they were. It was a
- 24:03Speaker 8: lack lass of five years of a parliament where he
- 24:06Speaker 8: had to be in government with the Liberal Democrats and
- 24:10Speaker 8: Nick Quig remember him, Wow, what talent.
- 24:14Speaker 1: And then we had the.
- 24:15Speaker 8: Brexit years and the Tory in fighting and the stabbing
- 24:19Speaker 8: in the back and prime minister after prime minister and
- 24:23Speaker 8: deadlock in a total I mean, the way in which
- 24:26Speaker 8: the Conservative Party seemed to think that the nation had
- 24:29Speaker 8: an absolutely limitless appetite for Conservatives to have infighting in
- 24:35Speaker 8: the party. It was just astonishing to me, and you know,
- 24:39Speaker 8: we watched it happen. Couldn't believe the lack of discipline,
- 24:42Speaker 8: couldn't believe the lack of delivery. David Cameron came in
- 24:45Speaker 8: in twenty ten promising to lower migration from the hundreds
- 24:49Speaker 8: of thousands a year to the tens of thousands like
- 24:52Speaker 8: in the nineteen nineties before Blair. They leave office with
- 24:56Speaker 8: migrat net migration nearer one million in a year. They
- 25:00Speaker 8: let down everyone. They've got very little to show for
- 25:03Speaker 8: their time in office. They were there for fourteen years
- 25:07Speaker 8: and what few things they did achieve are all now
- 25:10Speaker 8: going to be wiped away by the historic label landslide
- 25:14Speaker 8: of Kirstarmer, a man who absolutely nobody is enthusiastic about
- 25:19Speaker 8: it's not that Britain swung left. It didn't. It just
- 25:22Speaker 8: voted against the Conservative Party. And maybe they will use
- 25:26Speaker 8: their time in opposition to try to cohere, actually be conservative,
- 25:31Speaker 8: actually come up with some policies that differentiate themselves from
- 25:35Speaker 8: the other parties.
- 25:36Speaker 1: Well, maybe they won't.
- 25:37Speaker 8: Maybe they will just disappear into history. That can happen.
- 25:42Speaker 8: There is no law of nature that means that the
- 25:45Speaker 8: Conservative Party should never die. Maybe it will, we'll see.
- 25:51Speaker 4: We'll find out. Now.
- 25:52Speaker 2: Nigel Farage has given his first ever speech in the
- 25:55Speaker 2: Commons as Leader of Reform UK.
- 25:57Speaker 4: This is what he said.
- 25:59Speaker 1: We are the new on the block.
- 26:01Speaker 10: We have no experience in this Parliament whatsoever, even though
- 26:04Speaker 10: some of us have tried many times over the years
- 26:08Speaker 10: previously to get here. So we can't judge you from
- 26:11Speaker 10: working in this place, but we can judge you from
- 26:14Speaker 10: the way the outside world sees you. And I know
- 26:16Speaker 10: it just mean the United Kingdom, I mean the world
- 26:19Speaker 10: because Prime Minister's questions time is global box office politics.
- 26:24Speaker 4: Douglas.
- 26:25Speaker 2: He's got them all rattled already and he's only just begun.
- 26:28Speaker 2: And what sort of a force do you think Nigel
- 26:30Speaker 2: Farage will be in UK?
- 26:32Speaker 4: Parliament.
- 26:34Speaker 8: It's gonna be very interesting. I mean, I've got you
- 26:35Speaker 8: what a frosty reception he got there. There weren't very
- 26:38Speaker 8: many convivial, comrade ly jeers were there. I suspect he will,
- 26:44Speaker 8: and if he's wise, he will use the opportunity as
- 26:47Speaker 8: a really remarkable platform. There are lots of things that
- 26:52Speaker 8: can happen from here. For Farage and the other reform MPs,
- 26:56Speaker 8: they could be a sort of nuisance block. They could
- 27:00Speaker 8: make noise, use it as a platform like Rice very
- 27:04Speaker 8: cleverly did the EU Parliament to effectively broadcast to a
- 27:09Speaker 8: wider audience.
- 27:10Speaker 1: Or they could use it to.
- 27:11Speaker 8: Coalition build, to friend build. They could do an awful
- 27:17Speaker 8: lot of things. They can cause trouble, but they can
- 27:19Speaker 8: do lots more than cause trouble as well. The problem
- 27:23Speaker 8: is that the size of the Labor majority as such
- 27:25Speaker 8: that I suspect that in the coming years the main
- 27:28Speaker 8: opposition to the Labor front bench will be the backbenches
- 27:32Speaker 8: of the Labor Party, because everyone else has very little
- 27:36Speaker 8: voting sway in them.
- 27:38Speaker 2: And that's a really fair point.
- 27:40Speaker 4: Douglas.
- 27:41Speaker 2: Before we let you go, I just want to ask
- 27:43Speaker 2: you about the situation in France.
- 27:44Speaker 4: Where riots and violence.
- 27:46Speaker 2: Have erupted after the left defeated the far right and
- 27:49Speaker 2: an unexpected victory.
- 27:51Speaker 4: Now this is on the streets of Paris.
- 28:00Speaker 2: Shopping scenes, and we also saw the far left clash
- 28:02Speaker 2: with police as they celebrated the victory. Douglas, you know,
- 28:06Speaker 2: the far left are just as dangerous, if not more dangerous,
- 28:09Speaker 2: than the fringe right. But what does it tell you
- 28:12Speaker 2: when you say these scenes unfolding right now?
- 28:16Speaker 8: We know it's the fault of Macron for his hubris.
- 28:22Speaker 8: Paris is about to host the Olympics. What a sign
- 28:27Speaker 8: to the world. I mean they were already serious security
- 28:30Speaker 8: concerns about the Paris Olympics before this election season began.
- 28:34Speaker 8: But look at this. The world's eyes are going to
- 28:37Speaker 8: be on Paris and we see this a city where,
- 28:41Speaker 8: in order to keep out Marine Le penn they decided
- 28:45Speaker 8: the center and the center left decided to unite in
- 28:48Speaker 8: voting in the melanchonists who have at the top of
- 28:51Speaker 8: their list people are supporters of Hamaz. I mean there's
- 28:54Speaker 8: more anti semitism and racism from them far left in
- 28:58Speaker 8: France now than there is from the from the parties
- 29:01Speaker 8: that are called far right, and they get away with it,
- 29:04Speaker 8: and they riot on the streets and they break stuff up.
- 29:08Speaker 8: And you know, my belief is that political extremism can
- 29:11Speaker 8: come from any direction. The French seem to have forgotten this.
- 29:15Speaker 8: They seem to think the far left, you know, can
- 29:17Speaker 8: be regarded as a benign force.
- 29:18Speaker 1: It can't be.
- 29:20Speaker 8: Macron has unleashed terrible forces. And it's astonishing for a
- 29:25Speaker 8: man who came glided into office on his alleged ability
- 29:30Speaker 8: to sort of bring people together, it's amazing what we
- 29:34Speaker 8: see at the end of his career.
- 29:37Speaker 4: Yeah, good point, and you're right.
- 29:39Speaker 2: What a way to welcome the worldwide athletes as well
- 29:42Speaker 2: as the tourists right now to Paris and France. Douglas
- 29:45Speaker 2: Murray really appreciate your time. Thank you so much for
- 29:48Speaker 2: joining us. Still to come Lefties Losing It featuring a
- 29:51Speaker 2: self help retreat for toxic males, and we're cross to
- 29:55Speaker 2: Europe where France descends into chaos as the far left takeover.
- 30:08Speaker 4: Now it's time for lefties losing it.
- 30:10Speaker 1: Well.
- 30:10Speaker 2: Self help trends just keep getting more bizarre and quite frankly,
- 30:15Speaker 2: are getting more concerning. Check out this so called masculinity
- 30:20Speaker 2: retreat where men fork out ten thousand dollars to float
- 30:24Speaker 2: around in a pool.
- 30:26Speaker 4: Hung each other and cry, do.
- 30:32Speaker 11: Clean my soule, Lena cry with all the joy, the soul,
- 30:50Speaker 11: the fear, let myself cry.
- 31:00Speaker 2: Now that Ladies and Gentlemen is actual vision of Democrat
- 31:03Speaker 2: congressmen in November when they realized they left it too late.
- 31:08Speaker 4: To change the nominee.
- 31:10Speaker 2: Meanwhile in Bali, where white rich women filmed themselves screaming
- 31:15Speaker 2: all in.
- 31:16Speaker 12: The name of spiritual self discovery.
- 31:34Speaker 2: You know I've seen something like that before in a movie.
- 31:38Speaker 2: It's called The Exorcist. Now, lefty activists are always coming
- 31:43Speaker 2: up with new and nifty ways to entertain us. Here
- 31:46Speaker 2: is activism, Animal Rights musical Edition.
- 31:51Speaker 3: And the Big.
- 31:55Speaker 10: Music You are very Small play.
- 32:03Speaker 1: Oh my God High.
- 32:21Speaker 4: It's quite catchy, isn't it.
- 32:23Speaker 2: I've got to say, though, if anyone has lived a
- 32:25Speaker 2: life of suffering, it's him. Now speaking of activism. Ben
- 32:30Speaker 2: and Jerry is the ice cream company that is not
- 32:32Speaker 2: only work, but whose flavors are a flop.
- 32:35Speaker 4: Just release this new ad. You can make progress by
- 32:40Speaker 4: doing the things you If.
- 32:42Speaker 7: You can farm, fight food desert, if you can serve,
- 32:46Speaker 7: surfer racial justice, like to read, start a band book, club,
- 32:50Speaker 7: protest with an ice cream code, or project new meaning
- 32:53Speaker 7: on an outdated statue.
- 32:55Speaker 4: Get in a costume, but try not to get arrested.
- 32:58Speaker 4: You have the tools for doing.
- 33:00Speaker 7: Good, and the greatest tool is your own unique fleavor.
- 33:03Speaker 4: Been and Jerry's giving some mug.
- 33:06Speaker 2: I think the only change needed is sending these lunatics
- 33:09Speaker 2: out of business. Now here's a surefire way to ensure
- 33:13Speaker 2: Joe Biden loses in November. Enter Congresswoman Alexandria Occasio Cortez.
- 33:21Speaker 13: I have spoken to the President of the weekend. I
- 33:24Speaker 13: have spoken with him extensively. He made clear then and
- 33:28Speaker 13: he has made clear since that he is in this race.
- 33:32Speaker 13: The matter is closed. He had reiterated that this morning.
- 33:36Speaker 13: He has reiterated that to the public, Joe Biden is
- 33:39Speaker 13: our nominee.
- 33:40Speaker 4: He is not living well. That settles it.
- 33:42Speaker 2: Then it's over for Joe, especially when you have AOC backing.
- 33:47Speaker 2: You remember this rally a few weeks ago. Yes, her
- 34:05Speaker 2: brain capacity is genuinely at the same low level as
- 34:10Speaker 2: Joe Biden's, and the left wing media, who were finally
- 34:13Speaker 2: realized the president is indeed mentally incompetent, have been plunged
- 34:17Speaker 2: into a state of panic. It's only taken them four years,
- 34:20Speaker 2: but they now know he is a potato, and so
- 34:24Speaker 2: suddenly the race is on to trundle out doctors left,
- 34:27Speaker 2: right and center to make urgent medical diagnoses.
- 34:32Speaker 14: There was cause for concern stumbling of speech, sort of confused,
- 34:35Speaker 14: rambling at times, and they're also motor symptoms, you know,
- 34:39Speaker 14: lack of expression in the face if you take a look,
- 34:42Speaker 14: slow response time. I think we saw that, you know,
- 34:45Speaker 14: sort of in a sustained fashion, definitive word retrieval mix ups,
- 34:51Speaker 14: rambling sometimes confused speech, reduced voice volume as well, and
- 34:56Speaker 14: reduced facial movements.
- 34:58Speaker 1: Because he has just a classic feature of nerd degeneration.
- 35:01Speaker 4: I mean word finding difficulties.
- 35:03Speaker 1: And that's not oh I couldn't find the word.
- 35:04Speaker 14: That's from degeneration of the word retrieval area.
- 35:07Speaker 2: Good to say that, I've only just realized he has
- 35:10Speaker 2: the cognitive ability of a pee.
- 35:12Speaker 4: They never learned, do they. Well.
- 35:14Speaker 2: Donald Trump has fired up the troops at a campaign
- 35:17Speaker 2: rally in Florida. Not even a humid summer evening could
- 35:21Speaker 2: stop the thousands from attending, many wearing T shirts with
- 35:25Speaker 2: his mugshot on it. Now you'll recall this golf handicap
- 35:29Speaker 2: exchange during the presidential debate.
- 35:31Speaker 4: Can't hit a boll fifty years, She challenged me to
- 35:33Speaker 4: a golf match.
- 35:34Speaker 1: He can't hit about fifty years.
- 35:36Speaker 9: Look, I'd be happy to have a driving contest now, im.
- 35:39Speaker 9: I got my handicap, which when I was Vice president
- 35:42Speaker 9: down to a six. And by by the way I
- 35:46Speaker 9: told me before, I'm happy to play golf. If you
- 35:48Speaker 9: carry on bag, think you can do it.
- 35:52Speaker 1: That's the biggest way that he's a six handicap of all.
- 35:55Speaker 9: I was an eight handicap now.
- 35:59Speaker 1: But I've seen your swing.
- 36:01Speaker 3: I know you sing.
- 36:05Speaker 1: Let's not act like children.
- 36:07Speaker 2: Specific well, Donald Trump says it's on challenging Joe Biden
- 36:12Speaker 2: to an eighteen hole golf match.
- 36:14Speaker 15: I'm also officially challenging Crooked Joe to an eighteen hole
- 36:19Speaker 15: golf match right here.
- 36:26Speaker 1: Under Ow's Blue Monster.
- 36:28Speaker 15: Considered one of the greatest tournament golf courses anywhere in
- 36:32Speaker 15: the world, one of the great courses of the world.
- 36:35Speaker 15: It will be among the most watched sporting events in history,
- 36:39Speaker 15: maybe bigger than the Ryder Cup or even the Masters.
- 36:44Speaker 4: And I will even give Joe Biden.
- 36:46Speaker 15: Ten strokes aside ten strokes that's a lot.
- 36:50Speaker 1: That means twenty strokes. In case you don't play golf.
- 36:53Speaker 2: Joining me is Webster University Assistant Professor Ralph Scholhammer.
- 36:57Speaker 4: Ralph, thank you for joining us.
- 36:59Speaker 2: Donald Trump says if he loses, he will donate one
- 37:01Speaker 2: million dollars to a charity of Joe Biden's choice. Now,
- 37:04Speaker 2: I'm not so sure Joe Biden would even be able
- 37:06Speaker 2: to stand up long enough to make it.
- 37:08Speaker 4: To the first hole.
- 37:09Speaker 2: So I don't know what about you, but I would
- 37:11Speaker 2: pay money to watch the president try and swing at
- 37:13Speaker 2: golf club.
- 37:15Speaker 1: Well, thanks, Donik, it's great to be on with you. Well,
- 37:17Speaker 1: I guess I would pay money too.
- 37:19Speaker 6: But I remember, I think last summer we all thought
- 37:21Speaker 6: Joe Biden are trying to ride a bike and that
- 37:23Speaker 6: didn't go particularly well. So at some point this is
- 37:26Speaker 6: just elder abuse. So it's some fun trolling by Donald Trump.
- 37:30Speaker 6: But if you look at the condition Joe Biden is in, right,
- 37:34Speaker 6: you know, if stairs are your mortal enemy and bakes
- 37:38Speaker 6: as well, maybe golf is no longer really your sport.
- 37:41Speaker 2: No, I think you've absolutely raised a good point there, definitely, Ralph.
- 37:44Speaker 2: Now look, let's talk about the situation in France, where
- 37:48Speaker 2: of course riots and violence have erupted after the far
- 37:51Speaker 2: left defeated the far right in an election.
- 37:53Speaker 4: Shock, Ralph, what have the French actually voted for here?
- 37:58Speaker 1: Well? Defeat it as a tricky term.
- 38:00Speaker 6: No, you're correct when it comes to parliamentary seats that
- 38:03Speaker 6: have been defeated. But if you look at the popular vote,
- 38:06Speaker 6: the National Rally actually increased significantly. They got about ten million,
- 38:10Speaker 6: whereas Macros's quote unquote centrist party because he's no longer
- 38:14Speaker 6: a centrist. If you ally with the Islamists and the communists,
- 38:17Speaker 6: I'm sorry, you're not a centrist.
- 38:19Speaker 1: But he got about six million.
- 38:21Speaker 6: And the New Popular Front, which is this alliance of
- 38:26Speaker 6: traditional left wing us like the Socialists and the Greens,
- 38:29Speaker 6: but also more radical elements like the Communists like trots
- 38:31Speaker 6: Kiss and open Hamas and Islamist sympathizers, they also got
- 38:35Speaker 6: around six millions. So kind of the National Rally won
- 38:39Speaker 6: the popular vote, but due to the election system in France,
- 38:42Speaker 6: there was kind of tactical alliance between the quote unquote
- 38:46Speaker 6: center and the radical left, so they got more seats.
- 38:50Speaker 1: So the trend towards the right in Europe is continuing.
- 38:53Speaker 6: I mean, we saw the same by the way, in
- 38:55Speaker 6: the United Kingdom, as many of your viewers are familiar
- 38:57Speaker 6: with Nigel Farage, But Nigel Farash got fourteen percent of
- 39:00Speaker 6: the popular vote, but it only translated into five seats,
- 39:04Speaker 6: right as the lip Dams, for example, only got twelve
- 39:07Speaker 6: percent of the vote and they got seventy two seats
- 39:09Speaker 6: in parliament.
- 39:10Speaker 1: So there is a mismatch at them.
- 39:11Speaker 6: I mean, we always have to deal with the voting system,
- 39:13Speaker 6: there is, but there is a mismatch at the moment.
- 39:16Speaker 6: I think where the popular movement is, where the populacets are,
- 39:19Speaker 6: and what the population is and how it translates into
- 39:22Speaker 6: actual political power. But this was not the breaking of
- 39:25Speaker 6: the conservative or whatever you want to call it, or
- 39:27Speaker 6: the right wing wave that is building in Europe. I
- 39:29Speaker 6: would say this is more calm before the storm, because
- 39:31Speaker 6: the trend lines are still there.
- 39:33Speaker 2: Well, I was going to ask you about that, because
- 39:35Speaker 2: what does it say about the leadership of the West
- 39:38Speaker 2: right now? Look at France, Kiir Starmer in the UK,
- 39:42Speaker 2: Joe Biden in the US, Justin Trudeau in Canada for example,
- 39:46Speaker 2: where is the world heading to?
- 39:49Speaker 6: Well? I think what it does tell you and I
- 39:50Speaker 6: think this is one of the most important things we
- 39:52Speaker 6: don't talk about enough. Look at the people you just
- 39:55Speaker 6: mentioned just In Trudeauugh Peostarmer, Joe Biden. In my opinion,
- 40:00Speaker 6: if you look at their agendas, if you look with
- 40:02Speaker 6: whom they is around themselves, from the radical transgender agenda
- 40:07Speaker 6: to net zero and caa radical environmentalism, those are the radicals.
- 40:12Speaker 6: Very often the so called right wing populist If you
- 40:15Speaker 6: look at their program they are not the radicals. I
- 40:17Speaker 6: think the biggest brainwashing operation of the last twenty years
- 40:21Speaker 6: was to tell the people that the opposition, the right
- 40:24Speaker 6: wing opposition, are the radicals and those in government are
- 40:28Speaker 6: the moderates. It's exactly the other way around. We actually
- 40:31Speaker 6: have been gathered for twenty years. And this is also
- 40:33Speaker 6: d on the European Union level. We've been governed by
- 40:36Speaker 6: radicals for the last twenty years, and it was the
- 40:38Speaker 6: moderate opposition. The main winning agenda of the so called
- 40:43Speaker 6: right wing is their common sense approach. Wherever they stick
- 40:46Speaker 6: to their common sense, they're winning. And Donald Trump is
- 40:49Speaker 6: the best example of this. Look at this, at the
- 40:51Speaker 6: current Republican platform, look at their programs, Look at the
- 40:54Speaker 6: way he carried himself during the debate. Donald Trump is
- 40:58Speaker 6: not a radical. I don't care that the Who Republic
- 41:00Speaker 6: had him as Hitler on their cover.
- 41:02Speaker 1: This is all they have. Again, they do the same thing.
- 41:05Speaker 6: It's moderate acquisitions, but they say you're Hitler anyways, and unfortunately,
- 41:10Speaker 6: which is nobody's fault. But very often they still works
- 41:12Speaker 6: with the electorate because most people don't.
- 41:15Speaker 1: Have the time to engage with politics all the time,
- 41:17Speaker 1: like you and I.
- 41:18Speaker 6: So if the mainstream media constant it tells you these
- 41:20Speaker 6: guys are like Hitler, you assume, well, if the media
- 41:23Speaker 6: say so, it's probably true. But I think we're gradually
- 41:25Speaker 6: see people realizing the media lize to you. And the
- 41:28Speaker 6: best evidence we have for this is just remember we've
- 41:31Speaker 6: been told for four years that Joe Biden is the fittest, smartest,
- 41:36Speaker 6: most brilliant man ever to occupy the White House.
- 41:39Speaker 1: We all know now that this was a lie, that
- 41:41Speaker 1: it was visible for everyone what I used to see.
- 41:45Speaker 2: Yeah, now, look at the lefty media in the US
- 41:47Speaker 2: scrambling to take back the last four years of denial now.
- 41:51Speaker 2: Quebec based journalist Alexandra Lavoy has posted this video on
- 41:55Speaker 2: immigration growth in Paris. She says Paris is now almost unrecognizable.
- 42:17Speaker 4: Ralph.
- 42:17Speaker 2: This journalist has described what she saw as shocking almost
- 42:21Speaker 2: all immigrants African style, straight markets, litter and garbage everywhere.
- 42:25Speaker 4: On the ground. Will this get worse under the far left?
- 42:30Speaker 6: I mean, if you look at what's the program of
- 42:33Speaker 6: Sean Luke Menichew, like one of the more radical members
- 42:36Speaker 6: of the French Left Alliance, were saying, they are talking
- 42:39Speaker 6: about granting refugee star status to so called climate refugees,
- 42:43Speaker 6: which we can talk the detail I think is a
- 42:45Speaker 6: bollocks term, but that's besides the point. And according to
- 42:48Speaker 6: the UN, there's about one point two billion climate refugees
- 42:52Speaker 6: already in the world, so good luck for France to
- 42:54Speaker 6: take in.
- 42:55Speaker 1: One point two billion refugees.
- 42:57Speaker 6: You will no longer like you will have a place
- 42:59Speaker 6: on the map that is called France, but there will
- 43:01Speaker 6: no longer be a French nation.
- 43:02Speaker 2: Ralph Sholhamma, we have to leave it there. Thank you
- 43:04Speaker 2: very much for joining us. This evening still to come.
- 43:07Speaker 2: Prince William appears to close the door on his brother
- 43:10Speaker 2: and a famous Hollywood actor goes.
- 43:12Speaker 4: Undercover as a normal person.
- 43:15Speaker 1: D D.
- 43:15Speaker 4: Dun Levy joins me next after this.
- 43:27Speaker 2: Welcome back, joining me now is broadcaster and commentator d D.
- 43:30Speaker 4: Done Levy. Thank you so much for joining us.
- 43:33Speaker 2: So, Prince William is said to have banned his brother
- 43:36Speaker 2: Prince Harry, from ever returning to the Royal Fold. That's
- 43:39Speaker 2: according to British royals expert Hillary Forditch, who says, to
- 43:43Speaker 2: this day, after the release of Spare and that Netflix series,
- 43:47Speaker 2: as well as everything else that Harry's done, it's Prince
- 43:50Speaker 2: William who adamantly refuses to even speak to his brother.
- 43:53Speaker 15: D D.
- 43:54Speaker 2: Look, this is hardly surprising. Why on earth would they
- 43:56Speaker 2: ever want Harry back into the fold.
- 44:00Speaker 3: Well, I think it's a little part of me, a
- 44:02Speaker 3: little part of probably everyone in Britain and Royal watches
- 44:06Speaker 3: that would actually like the Royal family to be all
- 44:09Speaker 3: reunited and unified, which I don't suspect will happen while
- 44:13Speaker 3: Meghan is still part of the whole picture. And there's
- 44:16Speaker 3: talk that William is the sort of the enforcer, the
- 44:19Speaker 3: tough guy of the Royal family.
- 44:20Speaker 4: Prince Charles is a pushover.
- 44:22Speaker 3: I think he'd take Harry back in a heartbeat, but
- 44:24Speaker 3: William's sort of taken on that role that Prince Philip
- 44:29Speaker 3: led where he was the tough guy of it. I
- 44:32Speaker 3: think I can see William's point of view as well.
- 44:34Speaker 3: He's more protective of I think the upset that Harry
- 44:38Speaker 3: caused while the Queen was in her dying weeks, months,
- 44:42Speaker 3: even years, and so that's probably why William has such
- 44:46Speaker 3: a stronger feeling toward Harry. But I just can't see
- 44:50Speaker 3: it happening. I think what the Royal family should do
- 44:53Speaker 3: is actually sever all ties with this pair with Harry
- 44:55Speaker 3: and Meghan, because that then devalues their currency. Does it
- 44:59Speaker 3: if the not former Royals and can't keep referring to that,
- 45:03Speaker 3: than all her little schemes to make money they really
- 45:05Speaker 3: not worth anything.
- 45:07Speaker 2: Well, clearly I don't think they're worth anything as it
- 45:09Speaker 2: stands now. Look, Carnie West is reportedly retiring from professional music,
- 45:14Speaker 2: according to an alleged text.
- 45:16Speaker 4: Exchange with Rich the Kid.
- 45:18Speaker 2: Now Rich the Kid uploaded a screenshot to his Instagram
- 45:22Speaker 2: of messages he'd received from an iPhone contact under the
- 45:25Speaker 2: name ye reading I'm retiring from professional music.
- 45:28Speaker 4: Not sure what else to do. Rich then tried to
- 45:31Speaker 4: convince the father of four to reconsider his decision. DD
- 45:34Speaker 4: it seems.
- 45:35Speaker 2: Carnie's well highly controversial, rather strange at times.
- 45:39Speaker 3: Career is at the end of the road, the stage
- 45:42Speaker 3: at all times. I think, Look, I don't think either
- 45:46Speaker 3: of us or anyone's going to.
- 45:47Speaker 4: Fall for this at all.
- 45:49Speaker 3: I think Kanye craves the spotlight. I don't think he
- 45:52Speaker 3: can live without it. Just take a look at he
- 45:54Speaker 3: and his partner. They clearly love the attention. This all
- 45:58Speaker 3: feels very manufactured to me. And he's actually smart of
- 46:00Speaker 3: Carne that he's linked himself. I know he's released a
- 46:03Speaker 3: single with this artist who I'd never heard of neither,
- 46:09Speaker 3: But to align yourself with the younger artist and to
- 46:12Speaker 3: do something like this, it kind of gives him, you know,
- 46:15Speaker 3: a bit of more than longevity in the business. And
- 46:17Speaker 3: he's done very well for himself. I think he knows
- 46:20Speaker 3: from a marketing perspective what he's doing. And I think
- 46:22Speaker 3: the whole thing was staged for publicity.
- 46:25Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 46:26Speaker 2: Look, probably, and maybe he's got a new single coming
- 46:29Speaker 2: out and he's trying to just test the waters before
- 46:31Speaker 2: he goes the launches.
- 46:32Speaker 4: I think that's a very good point.
- 46:33Speaker 2: Now, this is hilarious because actor Kevin Bacon he wore
- 46:37Speaker 2: prosthetic teeth, nose, and glasses to experiment with anonymity.
- 46:43Speaker 4: Trying to be like the everyday man.
- 46:45Speaker 2: But his experiment was short lived because he said, quote
- 46:48Speaker 2: I had to wait in line to buy a coffee.
- 46:50Speaker 4: I was like, this sucks. I want to go back
- 46:52Speaker 4: to being famous. G DD.
- 46:54Speaker 2: It's a hard life being a celebrity, isn't it, not
- 46:57Speaker 2: having to wait in line for coffee.
- 47:00Speaker 4: I'm looking he gave it a fair guy, spies. Well,
- 47:03Speaker 4: I think.
- 47:04Speaker 3: Actually he's at risk of coming across as a bit
- 47:06Speaker 3: of a spoiled brat and a bit of somebody who
- 47:09Speaker 3: none of us want to be six degrees from as
- 47:11Speaker 3: we all are. I'd like to think that Kevin Bacon
- 47:15Speaker 3: did this just as a joke or for a bit
- 47:17Speaker 3: of fun, because if you'd take it seriously, it actually
- 47:21Speaker 3: it's just I mean, I can't stand that expression white privilege.
- 47:24Speaker 4: But it's a bit privilege, isn't it.
- 47:26Speaker 3: And all the influences are probably fainting and clutching at
- 47:29Speaker 3: their pearls because they're all dying to be famous, and
- 47:31Speaker 3: here's Kevin Bacon, who is famous, who just.
- 47:33Speaker 4: Doesn't want it for that moment. I mean, everyone wants
- 47:35Speaker 4: something they haven't got.
- 47:37Speaker 3: I'm going to assume that Kevin Bacon did this for
- 47:40Speaker 3: the fun of it and not because he actually hates
- 47:43Speaker 3: his life as a celebrity.
- 47:46Speaker 4: Yeah, I agree.
- 47:46Speaker 2: I think he just wanted to see how far he
- 47:48Speaker 2: could test the waters at being anonymous one.
- 47:51Speaker 4: He gave it a day at least. Good on him
- 47:53Speaker 4: for trying.
- 47:54Speaker 2: Now, Alec Baldwin's trial for involuntary manslaughter over a fatal
- 47:58Speaker 2: shooting on the set of western movie Rust has begun.
- 48:01Speaker 2: The Hollywood A lister was pointing a gun at cinematographer
- 48:05Speaker 2: Helena Hutchins during a rehearsal in twenty twenty one when
- 48:08Speaker 2: it fired a live round, of course, killing her and
- 48:11Speaker 2: wounding the movie's director d d He could actually face
- 48:15Speaker 2: jail time if he's found guilty by the jury.
- 48:18Speaker 4: Yeah, he could.
- 48:19Speaker 3: And I think this trial is going to be a
- 48:21Speaker 3: lot less Hollywood juicy than people are actually expecting. I
- 48:24Speaker 3: think it's going to be quite dry and technical because
- 48:27Speaker 3: a lot of the evidence is going to the discussion
- 48:31Speaker 3: I think in the case is going to revolve around
- 48:33Speaker 3: the gun that was used, because Alec Baldwin insists that
- 48:36Speaker 3: he didn't fire the gun, he didn't pull the trigger
- 48:38Speaker 3: at bigger pardon that he only cocked the gun, and
- 48:42Speaker 3: his defense teams say that the gun had been modified
- 48:45Speaker 3: somehow filed down. The FBI tested it and they said no,
- 48:49Speaker 3: it fired absolutely normally. But in the FBI doing their testing,
- 48:53Speaker 3: they destroyed the gun. Therefore, there is no evidence to
- 48:56Speaker 3: prove whether or not this gun. There are some photographs,
- 48:59Speaker 3: I believe, but there is no actual gun to look
- 49:01Speaker 3: at to determine whether he did actually fire it or
- 49:05Speaker 3: with he did just.
- 49:06Speaker 4: Pull the trigger back.
- 49:08Speaker 3: So I think it will be very technical, and I
- 49:10Speaker 3: think that it is a question that's going to be
- 49:12Speaker 3: very difficult to answer.
- 49:13Speaker 4: I suspect that he may end.
- 49:15Speaker 3: Up being cleared of these charges, and I think the
- 49:19Speaker 3: only thing that we can be sure of is that
- 49:21Speaker 3: he should be treated like any other person. He shouldn't
- 49:24Speaker 3: be given any special privilege in this particular case because
- 49:26Speaker 3: he's a celebrity.
- 49:27Speaker 2: No, I completely agree with you. It'll be interesting to
- 49:29Speaker 2: see what the jury finds. Deed it don Lee be
- 49:32Speaker 2: good to speak with you. Thanks for joining us, pleasure,
- 49:34Speaker 2: thanks for having me.
- 49:35Speaker 4: That's it from me. Up next is Newsnight. Good Night,
