Speaker 2: This is the Reader Panalty Show.
0:08
Speaker 3: Good evening and welcome to the Rita Panekey Show. Coming
0:11
Speaker 3: up tonight with the demise of Adam band, who among
0:14
Speaker 3: the Green senators will be the next leader of the
0:17
Speaker 3: far left party, Gary Hartgrave and Nikata will join me
0:20
Speaker 3: shortly to discuss the day's top stories, including how Advance
0:25
Speaker 3: brought down the cocky Greens leader. French President Emmanuel mccron
0:29
Speaker 3: meets with Siria's Islam as President and immediately calls for
0:33
Speaker 3: sanctions to be eased. Josh Hammer will be here to
0:36
Speaker 3: discuss that and the latest from the US, and later
0:39
Speaker 3: in the hour Best in the Business Kinsey Schofield, we'll
0:43
Speaker 3: have the latest celebrity and royal news. Left is losing it.
0:47
Speaker 3: We never forget that. It features an update on this
0:50
Speaker 3: woman spoiler she's gone to jail.
0:53
Speaker 4: What the what do I have to do Council in
0:57
Speaker 4: order to get respect as a black woman.
1:00
Speaker 3: I'm not afraid of anybody here. But first, the Greens
1:03
Speaker 3: have been dealt a terrible blow. The party have been
1:06
Speaker 3: being effectively annihilated from the Lower House. They've gone from
1:10
Speaker 3: holding four seats to just one, falling well short of
1:13
Speaker 3: their stated goal of nine seats, and among the casualties,
1:17
Speaker 3: of course, is former leader Adam Bant losing his seat
1:21
Speaker 3: of Melbourne to Labor. Conservative Lobby group Advances claimed responsibility.
1:30
Speaker 3: I've done no, my home was never on the ground.
1:34
Speaker 1: I'm not nor myle was never on the.
1:42
Speaker 5: I've got now was by Matthew she In advents a
1:52
Speaker 5: Stradia camera.
1:53
Speaker 3: Joining me now for more on this is the panel,
1:55
Speaker 3: Sky News contributor Gary Hardgrave and Menzies Research Center scene
2:00
Speaker 3: Fella Nikata. Gary, I'll start with you. Advance ran an
2:04
Speaker 3: effective campaign. Their goal was to get the Greens.
2:08
Speaker 1: Yeah, well they're going to take credit for it. But
2:10
Speaker 1: Australia got the Greens and I'm not sure they're actually
2:13
Speaker 1: even going to hold that one seat of Ryan that
2:16
Speaker 1: I think is still a bit up in the air.
2:18
Speaker 1: Labor is probably more likely to end up with that seat,
2:20
Speaker 1: which will make it interesting. But look, you know, in
2:23
Speaker 1: the end, it was all about it. If you came second
2:25
Speaker 1: or third, you won. In Ryan, for instance, the Liberal
2:29
Speaker 1: candidate was six thousand votes in front of but the
2:31
Speaker 1: Greens and Labor. If you're going to go with the
2:33
Speaker 1: sort of don't really like Australia stuff. You're going to
2:36
Speaker 1: go with the kind of name calling, juvenile university politics stuff.
2:40
Speaker 1: People are going to judge you poorly, and I must
2:43
Speaker 1: have been. I'm a bit surprised about Max Chandler May
2:45
Speaker 1: that everyone told me, Everyone told me he was a guru,
2:47
Speaker 1: he was never going to lose. I'm actually right now
2:50
Speaker 1: in the electorate of Griffin. He was never going to lose.
2:52
Speaker 1: That everyone told me he's gone. So you know, in
2:55
Speaker 1: the end the guru has gone. Who him? But I
2:59
Speaker 1: just say it is purely by the way the numbers fell.
3:02
Speaker 1: The nasty left is out, that's good, but a lot
3:06
Speaker 1: of it's still in labor and that's not so good.
3:09
Speaker 1: We'll see how that rolls over the next three years.
3:14
Speaker 3: Well, Nick, everyone thought Adam Bant was pretty safe as well.
3:18
Speaker 3: I don't know, maybe he should have hosted less dance
3:20
Speaker 3: parties and occasionally made an appearance in his electorate.
3:26
Speaker 6: Look, I'm trying, reader to show the necessary compassion that
3:30
Speaker 6: one should always show to somebody who loses their job suddenly.
3:34
Speaker 6: But I'm struggling. I'm struggling. I have to admit it.
3:37
Speaker 6: It's a terrific move and I will just give a
3:40
Speaker 6: shout out to Advance. They did play a major role
3:43
Speaker 6: behind the scenes in this whole exercise, and they haven't
3:46
Speaker 6: got the credit. Advance, if you remember, is of course
3:48
Speaker 6: a big player too in the Voice debate. They are
3:51
Speaker 6: really become a very powerful force for good in the
3:55
Speaker 6: political debate, much as Get Up used to be on
3:58
Speaker 6: the other side. But where's get Up now? I mean
4:00
Speaker 6: I heard here. They're really on the ropes and possibly
4:02
Speaker 6: going to fold.
4:03
Speaker 3: So it's great.
4:05
Speaker 6: It's great to see the people on the conservative center
4:08
Speaker 6: right do something really well in this space because we
4:12
Speaker 6: need that uplift, don't we after this rather dismal campaign.
4:17
Speaker 7: Yeah.
4:19
Speaker 3: Well, Advanced are clever in how they do things. They
4:22
Speaker 3: have limited resources, it seems, but they get maximum bang
4:27
Speaker 3: for their buck. We saw it during the Voice campaign.
4:29
Speaker 3: We saw it with their social media work. During this campaign,
4:33
Speaker 3: of course, their target was primarily to get the Greens.
4:37
Speaker 3: The Greens. I've been plunged into crisis mode with the
4:41
Speaker 3: party blaming liberal and one Nation preferences for losing their
4:45
Speaker 3: leader instead of I don't know, taking a moment to
4:48
Speaker 3: reflect on their missteps. One labor saucer said of Adam
4:53
Speaker 3: Bant and his party. It turns out being morally superior
4:57
Speaker 3: has a shelf life. Blame Labor, he'll blame the Liberals,
5:02
Speaker 3: He'll blame voters, but he'll never blame himself. That quote
5:07
Speaker 3: given to the Australian newspaper Gary. The Australian is reporting
5:11
Speaker 3: that Larissa Waters the Senate leader the South Australian Senator
5:16
Speaker 3: Sarah Hanson Young. They're the two front runners to be
5:19
Speaker 3: the new leader. Also, Marine Ferruki is in the running.
5:25
Speaker 1: Oh boy, if she's the answer, how stupid's the question? Look,
5:28
Speaker 1: I would reckon Larissa Waters is probably most likely out
5:31
Speaker 1: of Queensland. She's been around a lot and she's won
5:36
Speaker 1: her return for six more years in the Senate. But
5:39
Speaker 1: that's it. They've gone from the house. There are absolutely
5:42
Speaker 1: no use to anybody when it comes to the Labor
5:44
Speaker 1: Party government. And I think that's probably, to be fair,
5:47
Speaker 1: a good thing that the Labor Party can govern in
5:49
Speaker 1: their own right. Everything is their own goal or otherwise.
5:52
Speaker 1: But in the Senate different matter, and the Greens will
5:55
Speaker 1: try and tear them from to the left. We'll probably
5:57
Speaker 1: see more taxes on super unrealized capital gains, tax taxes
6:02
Speaker 1: on housing, all those things. The Greens have been hoping
6:04
Speaker 1: and are wishing for for years because the Labor Left,
6:07
Speaker 1: which is half the caucus, is going to go mad
6:09
Speaker 1: during this term. Albo says he's going to govern for
6:12
Speaker 1: all Australians, but only if the Left and his party
6:15
Speaker 1: room lets him. And that's going to be the problem
6:18
Speaker 1: because the Labor Party is fundamentally attached to the idea
6:22
Speaker 1: of redistribution of wealth, taxing people who lift and giving
6:26
Speaker 1: it to people who lean, and that is your problem.
6:29
Speaker 1: They're going to run out of other people's money at
6:31
Speaker 1: some stage. So you know, my grandchildren, I've got a
6:34
Speaker 1: couple of another one soon to arrive. They're going to
6:36
Speaker 1: be asking the years from now, doo'd you do? Granddad? Well,
6:38
Speaker 1: I've had to go. I spoke to rid A Pana here,
6:40
Speaker 1: I was with Nick Kata. I've had a try. But
6:43
Speaker 1: their children and maybe their children's children are still going
6:45
Speaker 1: to be paying off the debt that's going to be
6:47
Speaker 1: clocked up over the next three years thanks to the
6:49
Speaker 1: Labor Left. Nick.
6:53
Speaker 3: He makes an excellent point there, does Gary. The Greens
6:57
Speaker 3: are probably going to have the balance of power in
6:59
Speaker 3: the Senate, and if Labor opts to deal with them
7:03
Speaker 3: as opposed to the other crossbenches or doing deals with
7:08
Speaker 3: the coalition. We may have a government that is even
7:13
Speaker 3: more radically left than the one we've seen in the
7:16
Speaker 3: last three years.
7:19
Speaker 6: Yeah, this is a symbolic victory in the lower House,
7:21
Speaker 6: of course, with the size of majority that Anthony Albaneze
7:24
Speaker 6: is going to have, you know, Adam Banton his chums
7:27
Speaker 6: would have been triddling their fingers really in there. The
7:29
Speaker 6: real work will be done in the upper House, where
7:31
Speaker 6: as you say, they've got the balance of power, so
7:33
Speaker 6: Labor will be inclined to move further to the radical left.
7:37
Speaker 6: And don't forget there's a lot of people within their
7:39
Speaker 6: own party, within their own backbench now who really should
7:43
Speaker 6: be in the Green Party. But I guess they wanted
7:45
Speaker 6: to be in Labor because they've got more chance of
7:47
Speaker 6: actually being in government. So that's something to watch out for.
7:50
Speaker 6: But I would give some free advice to Larissa Waters.
7:53
Speaker 6: I assume, like the rest of us, she never misses
7:55
Speaker 6: an episode of your show, Reta. But my advice is this,
7:59
Speaker 6: get back to the tree hugging, you know. I mean,
8:02
Speaker 6: I don't think I ever saw rightaway with the Greens,
8:04
Speaker 6: but they are much nicer bunch when they're actually trying
8:07
Speaker 6: to save nature, which we'd all like to do, and
8:09
Speaker 6: do it without fear or favor. So when they're bulldozing
8:12
Speaker 6: bits of native forest to put up wind farms, you
8:16
Speaker 6: should be out on the streets. You should be out
8:18
Speaker 6: snarling in front of the bulldozers for that. Let's see
8:21
Speaker 6: this old style Bob Brown. I never thought I'd be
8:24
Speaker 6: yearning for the return of Bob Brown, but please, that's
8:27
Speaker 6: where they should be going.
8:30
Speaker 3: Oh yes, we missed Bob Brown these days. Now, the
8:34
Speaker 3: Senate battle for Tasmania's two remaining seats is heating up
8:38
Speaker 3: Jackie Lamby and Lee Hanson. That's Pauline Hanson's daughter, Lee Hanson.
8:43
Speaker 3: Among the four remaining candidates, two seats have already gone
8:47
Speaker 3: to Labor, one to the Liberals, and one of the Greens.
8:50
Speaker 3: Amid the Senate battle, Pauline Hanson has hit out at
8:54
Speaker 3: Lamby's saying that she votes with the Greens or the
8:57
Speaker 3: Labor Party and she doesn't have any idea about the policies. Nick,
9:01
Speaker 3: I'll start with you. Jackie Lamby has provided me with
9:05
Speaker 3: plenty of content, particularly for Left. He's losing it. But
9:10
Speaker 3: will she be much of a loss. If she doesn't
9:13
Speaker 3: make it.
9:16
Speaker 6: It should be a loss to you're show reader, but
9:17
Speaker 6: not to the Parliament in fact. And I don't know.
9:21
Speaker 6: I don't know Pauline's I don't know Pauline's daughter at all,
9:25
Speaker 6: but I just take it that if she's a chip
9:27
Speaker 6: off the old block, I think i'd rather up her.
9:29
Speaker 6: It's nice to see Pauline Hanson. She's behaving like a
9:32
Speaker 6: soccer mum, isn't she. She's sort of, you know, like
9:34
Speaker 6: you go to these kick soccer games and the parents
9:37
Speaker 6: are yelling from the touch line. It seems to me
9:40
Speaker 6: what she's doing here. But good hon her, and good
9:42
Speaker 6: on her daughter for having the courage to stand, and
9:45
Speaker 6: good on the Tasmanian people for recognizing somebody who will
9:49
Speaker 6: really represent their interests as opposed to somebody who votes
9:53
Speaker 6: with labor Green's whoever, and just looks always rather wild
9:56
Speaker 6: and angry.
9:59
Speaker 3: And makes some of the most demented comments I have heard.
10:04
Speaker 3: Remember when she wanted to lock up Elon Musk for
10:07
Speaker 3: having free speech on X. I mean, incredible antics, Gary,
10:13
Speaker 3: You've got to say about Tasmania though, I mean they're
10:16
Speaker 3: an example of why the Senate is called unrepresentative swill
10:21
Speaker 3: as Paul Keating said some years ago.
10:25
Speaker 1: Yeah, well he did say it, and I get what
10:27
Speaker 1: he says. But look, that's the deal we've signed up.
10:29
Speaker 1: Our constitution says first states, the six first ones under
10:33
Speaker 1: the constitution all got twelve senators. Well originally it was ten.
10:37
Speaker 1: So you know, I also would quote what Graham Richardson observed,
10:40
Speaker 1: and I'm sure I'm not misreading or misrepresenting Richo. He
10:44
Speaker 1: was concerned when Labor brought in extra senators for each
10:48
Speaker 1: state by increasing the size of the House of Representatives
10:52
Speaker 1: in nineteen eighty four. He said, we're going to rule
10:55
Speaker 1: the day. We're going to end up with some crazy
10:57
Speaker 1: people in the Senate. Now you know, make of that,
11:00
Speaker 1: which I like, but we're going to end up with
11:02
Speaker 1: a few interesting results. And so one of the best
11:04
Speaker 1: things that could be done, if we were serious about
11:07
Speaker 1: what was good for Australia is to actually reform the parliament.
11:09
Speaker 1: Fewer members in the House, drive down the numbers in
11:12
Speaker 1: the Senate, actually have fewer senators, and that way you
11:15
Speaker 1: needed a bigger chunk of vote to get elected. You'd
11:17
Speaker 1: be more mainstream automatically, and you wouldn't have some of
11:20
Speaker 1: the kind of well entertaining for the readA Panahy show
11:24
Speaker 1: kind of contributions from some people in the Senate just
11:26
Speaker 1: saying but look, I'm not rewriting the Electoral Act right now,
11:30
Speaker 1: but if they want me to, I could bring in
11:32
Speaker 1: first past the post voting, make it non compulsory voting.
11:36
Speaker 1: These sorts of things I think are all part of
11:38
Speaker 1: the reform. But winners are never going to change the
11:40
Speaker 1: system that got them across the line.
11:44
Speaker 3: Absolutely, those last two suggestions I think are very sensible. Indeed,
11:49
Speaker 3: first past the post and make it optional. Why should
11:52
Speaker 3: you be forced to vote with the threat of a fine.
11:56
Speaker 3: Now I want to bring to your attention a couple
11:58
Speaker 3: of pieces in the Australian News paper and see where
12:01
Speaker 3: you stand on this debate. Paul Kelly has argued in
12:05
Speaker 3: his column that the Liberals must return to the Howard
12:09
Speaker 3: concept of the broad church in order to win. He
12:12
Speaker 3: writes that its revival is the only viable strategy because
12:17
Speaker 3: it opens the lens wide. It is inclusive, It incorporates
12:20
Speaker 3: both the liberal and conservative traditions. It offers a broad
12:24
Speaker 3: basis for public policy and a welcoming window for a
12:27
Speaker 3: wide range of Australians. It would open the party to
12:31
Speaker 3: the country, not shut its doors. Nick, is it a
12:36
Speaker 3: little bit naive? Naive? Hasn't the political landscape changed markedly
12:41
Speaker 3: since those Howard years? You could argue one of the Liberals'
12:46
Speaker 3: biggest issues is at an identity crisis, where they try
12:51
Speaker 3: to be all things to all people.
12:55
Speaker 6: I suppose I'm going to side with Paul on this.
12:58
Speaker 6: The thing is, reader, we have a west is the system.
13:00
Speaker 6: Westminster systems work a lot better when you have two
13:04
Speaker 6: major parties and people join those parties with different views
13:08
Speaker 6: and they argue that toss within them. I am all
13:10
Speaker 6: for the broad Church, but on this condition that everybody
13:13
Speaker 6: who wants to be in that broad church number one
13:16
Speaker 6: has to subscribe to liberal values and number two has
13:20
Speaker 6: to want the party to win the next election. Because
13:23
Speaker 6: I sense there are people on the so called moderate
13:27
Speaker 6: friends of the party who sometimes look to me as
13:30
Speaker 6: if they don't want the party to win, and they'll
13:32
Speaker 6: sabotage it at every opportunity. And that's what's going on
13:35
Speaker 6: right at the moment over this, you know, this unseemly
13:38
Speaker 6: battle over the leadership, which which you know, I mean,
13:41
Speaker 6: just have that discussion respectfully behind closed doors, because the
13:46
Speaker 6: longer this goes on, the more vicious it is, and
13:48
Speaker 6: there's some horrible, horrible stuff being thrown around to Angus Taylor,
13:53
Speaker 6: completely unwarranted. But as long as this goes on Rita,
13:56
Speaker 6: the longer it'll be before the party ever has a
13:59
Speaker 6: chance of getting back at it. And I personally support
14:01
Speaker 6: the Liberal Party because I think they're better in government
14:04
Speaker 6: than Labor, full stop, and I don't want to see
14:06
Speaker 6: him in opposition a day longer than they have to be.
14:10
Speaker 3: Well, you say you disagree with my take, but what
14:14
Speaker 3: you're arguing for is I think some sense of uniformity
14:18
Speaker 3: within the party. Obviously going to have people with different passions,
14:21
Speaker 3: different points of view, but if they have to subscribe
14:24
Speaker 3: to the Liberal position and they have to be disciplined
14:28
Speaker 3: and loyal, then that is very different to the sort
14:32
Speaker 3: of broad Church we have seen in recent years, where
14:35
Speaker 3: there is the infighting, the moderates trying to get rid
14:38
Speaker 3: of the Conservatives, the wide anting that's happened. And I've
14:42
Speaker 3: got to say this piece by Janet Orbrickson in The
14:44
Speaker 3: Australian is I think far more sensible advice. She argues
14:50
Speaker 3: that without a firm foundation of values. A political party
14:54
Speaker 3: is just a house of cards, and that instead of
14:57
Speaker 3: the Liberal party running from the culture war, they need
15:00
Speaker 3: to embrace them. She writes, everything is about culture. What
15:05
Speaker 3: kind of country do you want to be? If liberals
15:08
Speaker 3: don't start embracing that, explaining policies through the prism of
15:13
Speaker 3: what kind of culture we want, they may as well
15:16
Speaker 3: fold their tent and save donors a heck of a
15:18
Speaker 3: lot of money. Gary, how do you see it? What
15:23
Speaker 3: is the path forward for the liberals? How can they
15:26
Speaker 3: become electable again after this catastrophic result.
15:30
Speaker 1: They've got to stand for stuff, although fall for everything.
15:33
Speaker 1: And look, I understand next point, and I also understand
15:36
Speaker 1: Paul Kelly's point. And in theory, the concept of the
15:38
Speaker 1: broad church is okay. But my caveats are this, You've
15:41
Speaker 1: got to have purpose, you've got to have passion, you
15:43
Speaker 1: have vision, you've got to be authentic. And so they
15:46
Speaker 1: can have a broad range of personalities, a broad range
15:48
Speaker 1: of policies, positions, and I guess a broad range of
15:53
Speaker 1: moderate to more conservative views exercise. But in the end
15:58
Speaker 1: you've got to actually galvanize all of that for a purpose.
16:01
Speaker 1: And the purpose has to be Australia and so the
16:04
Speaker 1: Liberal Party desperately needs that kind of strength of leadership.
16:08
Speaker 1: When Sir Robert A. Mensis was around, the leadership was
16:10
Speaker 1: against the extreme left, the communists. He took all of
16:13
Speaker 1: that on. I remember reading Jim Killen's first speech in
16:16
Speaker 1: early nineteen fifty six. I wasn't around, but I read
16:19
Speaker 1: it years later. You know where he was talking about
16:21
Speaker 1: the fight between mainland China and Free China, Taiwan and China.
16:25
Speaker 1: He was right onto the whole kind of threat of
16:28
Speaker 1: the reds that were coming for us, the way that
16:31
Speaker 1: society would change. John Howard equally also galvanized Australians for
16:35
Speaker 1: a purpose. So a broad church got behind a leader,
16:39
Speaker 1: and that's what we need. We need to have a
16:42
Speaker 1: strength of leadership, authenticity, values based, to Janet Olbrigson's excellent point,
16:48
Speaker 1: values based, and to own the australianisms associated with everything.
16:53
Speaker 1: Stop the world trying to interfere with us, Make Australia
16:56
Speaker 1: for Australia, make it great again. Can I say that?
16:59
Speaker 1: I mean, you can't do it. Why are we getting
17:01
Speaker 1: so scared? Every first bit of criticism from the left.
17:07
Speaker 3: Well, this seems to be the problem. They're so terrified
17:11
Speaker 3: of some sort of media backlash, backlash from people who
17:14
Speaker 3: will never back them in the activist class academia, and
17:20
Speaker 3: they scared to actually have an authentic, principal, strong position
17:24
Speaker 3: that is dramatically different to labor. And we saw that
17:27
Speaker 3: at this election. We saw them go with this small
17:30
Speaker 3: target strategy. It was a disaster. And yet you've got
17:34
Speaker 3: all these hacks in the media telling them to do
17:36
Speaker 3: more of that, to veer even more to the left,
17:40
Speaker 3: to try to appeal to voters who are never going
17:42
Speaker 3: to back them. Gentlemen, Gary Hartgrave Nicasia, thanks for your

Speaker 3: time tonight, stilta karma Lefties losing at class. French President
17:51
Speaker 3: Emmanuel mccron meets with Sirius Islamus President the brilliant Josh
17:56
Speaker 3: Hammer joins me. Next, you're watching the Reader Panehy Show,
18:07
Speaker 3: and it's time for left is losing it now. This
18:12
Speaker 3: is just maddening. First, the heartbreaking story of two young
18:15
Speaker 3: siblings missing in Nova Scotia for the better part of
18:18
Speaker 3: a week. Canadian police are beginning to scale back search efforts.
18:22
Speaker 3: They say there are low odds that children will still
18:24
Speaker 3: be alive. But listen to how they start a press
18:27
Speaker 3: conference into this tragic story with a inane land acknowledgment.
18:33
Speaker 3: This is Canada.
18:34
Speaker 8: First, I acknowledge that we are in mcmagi the traditional
18:37
Speaker 8: and unsuited and sacral territory of the Migmah people. I
18:40
Speaker 8: also recognize that African Nova Scotians are a distinct people
18:44
Speaker 8: whose histories, legacies, and contributions have enriched that part of
18:48
Speaker 8: Mcmagie known as Nova Scotia for over four hundred years.
18:51
Speaker 3: Yep. Canada a country that has suffered enormous damage thanks
18:55
Speaker 3: to the far left policies of the Trudeau government, and
18:57
Speaker 3: they just voted for more of this same Let's look
19:00
Speaker 3: at a couple celebrating Mark Carney's big win Canada.
19:05
Speaker 4: You hit it.
19:06
Speaker 9: You chose over hate, unity over.
19:09
Speaker 3: Division Trump techno.
19:10
Speaker 10: This is what democracy looks like.
19:12
Speaker 4: Mark Kearney is the leader of Canada and what the
19:15
Speaker 4: world needs right now, someone.
19:17
Speaker 11: That's ready to stand strong against Trump and defend democracy.
19:22
Speaker 2: Tonight, Canada sent a.
19:23
Speaker 8: Message Tyranny doesn't win here, Fear doesn't win here, division
19:28
Speaker 8: doesn't win here.
19:29
Speaker 7: Now.
19:29
Speaker 3: I've tried all weeks to save you from the dangerous,
19:33
Speaker 3: weapon grade levels of cringe of this following interview a
19:37
Speaker 3: podcast featuring Meghan Markel but alas we must all suffer together.
19:42
Speaker 3: Here is Meghan talking to a woman called Jamie kern Limo,
19:46
Speaker 3: who seems to be even more fake and insufferable than
19:49
Speaker 3: the Duchess.
19:50
Speaker 12: Very first question, because I think in friendship it's so important,
19:54
Speaker 12: and I think so many people also have this question
19:57
Speaker 12: for you, is.
19:58
Speaker 3: You know, Meghan? How are you? And I'm okay, that's
20:01
Speaker 3: so kind.
20:02
Speaker 4: I am.
20:03
Speaker 13: I'm better than okay. How are you?
20:07
Speaker 3: I know?
20:07
Speaker 12: You eyes make it about me today, which, by the way,
20:10
Speaker 12: I just have to say, you are the most generous friend.
20:14
Speaker 12: You show up for your friends. Today I just get
20:17
Speaker 12: to talk about you.
20:18
Speaker 3: Oh I'm excited about Yes, it really is that all
20:21
Speaker 3: fool The whole hour long ordeal may have even been longer.
20:25
Speaker 3: May have blacked out from smacking myself in the head.
20:28
Speaker 3: How else are you supposed to deal with trip like this?
20:31
Speaker 13: Oh my gosh. I work so hard, and I appreciate
20:36
Speaker 13: what hard work looks like. I like working hard, and
20:41
Speaker 13: I'm still working hard. Right the moment that everything sells out,
20:44
Speaker 13: it doesn't mean that we're done. Yeah, it means we're
20:47
Speaker 13: working on replenishment. And what are the next cues and
20:48
Speaker 13: what's the next tranch of products and what's the timing
20:50
Speaker 13: on that, and writing the newsletters and writing the social
20:52
Speaker 13: media captions and making sure that all that appeels in
20:54
Speaker 13: line and what's the cadence of it, and what's the
20:57
Speaker 13: photography that we want to do and what do I
20:58
Speaker 13: want to wear for those shoots, while also editing all
21:01
Speaker 13: the time coded notes for season two of With Love Meghan,
21:05
Speaker 13: and then being an edits for the podcast and making
21:09
Speaker 13: and being a mom and a wife and a friend.
21:12
Speaker 13: Those are all jobs.
21:15
Speaker 3: Yeah, Meghan wants you to know that she's so busy.
21:18
Speaker 3: She's got no staff, She's out there writing the social
21:21
Speaker 3: media captions herself, so so busy. And don't forget she's
21:25
Speaker 3: a princess too, and Harry is slaying dragons to rescue her.
21:29
Speaker 13: You know what we've built. We've built a beautiful life
21:32
Speaker 13: and we have two healthy, beautiful children. And you know,
21:36
Speaker 13: I always think about it like the end of Super
21:39
Speaker 13: Mario Brothers, when you get to the final final level,
21:42
Speaker 13: what's the goal? And Super Mario they're like, slay the
21:44
Speaker 13: dragon and save the princess. I'm like, that's my husband
21:47
Speaker 13: who is.
21:47
Speaker 3: Harry, rescuing her from the family she abandoned before making
21:51
Speaker 3: him abandon his. But don't feel too sorry for Prince Harry.
21:55
Speaker 3: This is a middle aged man, after all, is about forty,
21:57
Speaker 3: chose to embarrass his family, brought tons of grief to
22:01
Speaker 3: the ailing grandmother who supported him throughout his life, Queen
22:05
Speaker 3: Elizabeth iiO in her final days, and he now wants
22:09
Speaker 3: to rewrite history.
22:11
Speaker 6: You accuse members of your family of racism. You don't
22:13
Speaker 6: even know well.
22:15
Speaker 9: The British press said that, right, I did Megan never
22:20
Speaker 9: mention the races?
22:23
Speaker 1: She said there were troubling comments about about her skin color?
22:27
Speaker 3: Right? Does he think we've forgotten this diabolical travesty?
22:32
Speaker 13: Concerns and conversations about how dark his skin might be
22:34
Speaker 13: when he's born.
22:36
Speaker 3: What who is having that conversation? There is a conversation
22:42
Speaker 3: to hold up?
22:43
Speaker 13: There are several conversations.
22:44
Speaker 14: There's a conversation with you with Harry about how dark
22:52
Speaker 14: your baby is going to be.
22:53
Speaker 3: Now it's time for some miss Andrew. Here is a
22:56
Speaker 3: young lass who dreams of the world without men.
23:00
Speaker 7: And are not going to like me for saying this,
23:02
Speaker 7: But you know what, I don't care America. I think
23:04
Speaker 7: it's time we form a state where only women can live.
23:07
Speaker 3: No men allows.
23:08
Speaker 7: It's an estrogen field utopia where we can all finally
23:12
Speaker 7: live in peace.
23:13
Speaker 3: Oh, that sounds pretty boring to men. I'm not sure
23:15
Speaker 3: which ladies are going to sign up to do these
23:19
Speaker 3: very necessary jobs. Oh, I think we need to see
23:34
Speaker 3: more of this oil reg work for our education purposes.
23:38
Speaker 3: Of course. Now you may recall our favorite lefty losing
24:07
Speaker 3: at Boston City councilor Tanny Anderson. If you don't remember her,
24:11
Speaker 3: let's have a look at her previous work. People are
24:14
Speaker 3: not innocent until proven guilty. People are guilty first. People
24:18
Speaker 3: are crucified.
24:20
Speaker 4: People are lynched, Same old tricks, same masters, though, fight.
24:24
Speaker 3: Don't fight. What do I have to do in the
24:29
Speaker 3: city council in.
24:30
Speaker 4: Order to get respect as a black woman. I'm not
24:33
Speaker 4: afraid of anybody here.
24:35
Speaker 3: Well, she's off to prison, folks. She's pled guilty to
24:38
Speaker 3: federal corruption charges, but remarkably, she hasn't resigned as a counselor.
24:44
Speaker 3: While she reflects on her.
24:46
Speaker 11: Pain tonight, Boston City Councilor Tanya Fernandez Henderson says she
24:51
Speaker 11: loves her constituents and isn't sure when she'll resign.
24:54
Speaker 3: WBC's Julia McDonald has the latest on the saga that
24:57
Speaker 3: has rock City Hall to make I love you, I
25:02
Speaker 3: Love you dearly.
25:03
Speaker 10: Outside of federal court Monday, after pleading guilty to corruption charges,
25:07
Speaker 10: Boston City council or Tanya Fernandez Anderson said she's reflecting
25:11
Speaker 10: on her faith and practicing gratitude for the paint.
25:15
Speaker 3: Joining me now is Newsweek Senior editor at Large and
25:18
Speaker 3: Article three Projects Senior Council Josh Hamma. Josh. She wielded
25:23
Speaker 3: her official powers for her own financial gain. She was divisive,
25:28
Speaker 3: She was a race faiting politician, really the worst of
25:33
Speaker 3: the modern left.
25:36
Speaker 9: Yeah, it's like one of those or Willian Frankenstein like concoctions, right,
25:40
Speaker 9: I mean it's all like the absolute worst ingredients producing
25:43
Speaker 9: this one particularly iniquitous and just genuinely horrific public official.
25:47
Speaker 9: I mean, this really does have all the various ingredients.
25:52
Speaker 9: I mean, someone who is wielding Hunter biden Sq corruption,
25:55
Speaker 9: but doing it through official power, not even under kind
25:57
Speaker 9: of the auspices of your parents, as Hunter Biden was
25:59
Speaker 9: doing and when he was trafficking buying family influence. She's
26:02
Speaker 9: literally just wielding power there, and she plucked guilty. I
26:05
Speaker 9: have no idea what her particular argument is. I have
26:07
Speaker 9: a sneaking suspicion as to why she thinks that she
26:10
Speaker 9: can get away with it, especially in a very blue
26:11
Speaker 9: city like Boston, Massachusetts. You know, I mean, she's she's ranking,
26:14
Speaker 9: based on what I can see here on this clip read,
26:16
Speaker 9: she's ranking pretty high in the intersectional dei totem pole.
26:20
Speaker 9: So I suspect that the good liberals at Harvard University
26:22
Speaker 9: and MIT and all the various other dens of Marxist
26:25
Speaker 9: iniquity there in Boston, Massachusetts are probably going to support
26:28
Speaker 9: here through thick and thin there. That's probably why she
26:30
Speaker 9: can get away with it there. But it really is
26:32
Speaker 9: just the perfect encapsulation of all that is wrong with
26:34
Speaker 9: the contemporary American left, isn't it.
26:39
Speaker 3: Let's go to New York now sanctuary city and other
26:42
Speaker 3: sanctuary city, and it's a more gang of violence. This
26:46
Speaker 3: time we've had illegal immigrant, some very young ones, at
26:49
Speaker 3: targeting police offices.
26:51
Speaker 6: Well, new video out of New York City tonight of
26:53
Speaker 6: teenage Venezuelan and migrants alleged to be trend de Ragua
26:56
Speaker 6: gang members attacking two NYPD officers.
26:59
Speaker 3: In Times Josh the officers were attacked while trying to
27:03
Speaker 3: break up a wolf pack star robbery. Tell me about
27:07
Speaker 3: these offenders, this sort of violence that we're saying. Some
27:11
Speaker 3: of the members of this gang at Tinage just somewhere
27:14
Speaker 3: as young as.
27:15
Speaker 9: Twelve, So Trendy or Augula. Just so everyone is aware,
27:20
Speaker 9: this is the Venezuelan gang. They are on the same
27:23
Speaker 9: level as MS thirteen is among the most absolutely vicious
27:26
Speaker 9: transnational criminal gangs in the entire Western hemisphere. MS thirteen
27:30
Speaker 9: has his origins in El Salvador, and trendyar Augua has
27:33
Speaker 9: his origins in Venezuela. So this is the very gang
27:35
Speaker 9: actually that Donald Trump made a lot of headlines a
27:37
Speaker 9: couple months ago for for invoking the eighteenth century Alien
27:41
Speaker 9: Enemies Acts, this kind of older statute, which will allow
27:44
Speaker 9: him in theory, if he was not facing an unprecedented
27:46
Speaker 9: judicial insurrection. In theory, invoking the statute would allow him
27:50
Speaker 9: to expedite these highly necessary deportations. So the point, rita
27:53
Speaker 9: is that have Donald Trump and his and his DHS,
27:56
Speaker 9: his Ice, Tom Home and the borders are Christy Noah
27:59
Speaker 9: at d if they have been able to do their job,
28:02
Speaker 9: if these Article three Black robed oracle judicial tyrants had
28:06
Speaker 9: allowed the executive branch to actually enforce this nation's immigration law.
28:09
Speaker 9: I think it's entirely possible that that footage never would
28:11
Speaker 9: have existed. These people, It's entirely possible they never would
28:14
Speaker 9: have been. In fact, it's quite likely that they would
28:16
Speaker 9: never have been in this country in the first place.
28:18
Speaker 8: There.
28:18
Speaker 9: But unfortunately, when it comes to a city like New
28:20
Speaker 9: York City, and I'm from the New York area, most
28:23
Speaker 9: of my family still lives in the area there, this
28:24
Speaker 9: is unfortunately run of the mill here in Los Angeles,
28:27
Speaker 9: San Francisco, New York, Washington, Boston, which we were just
28:29
Speaker 9: talking about. This is run of the mill stuff in
28:32
Speaker 9: blue city America. The good news someone like, as someone
28:35
Speaker 9: who lives in Florida, I can speak to this. The
28:37
Speaker 9: good news that migration trends in America are away from
28:39
Speaker 9: blue city left wing hell holes like New York City
28:42
Speaker 9: and Los Angeles. People are flocking to cities like Dallas
28:45
Speaker 9: Fort Worth, Texas, like Miami, Florida, South Florida there, and
28:48
Speaker 9: you know, og, I wonder why. It's definitely partially I
28:51
Speaker 9: would say for footage just like this.
28:55
Speaker 3: Absolutely Now you mentioned the term judicial insurrection there. I
29:00
Speaker 3: like that. I haven't heard that before. But we do
29:02
Speaker 3: have a constitutional crisis, and it's not emanating from the
29:06
Speaker 3: White House. It is from these activist judges who think
29:10
Speaker 3: that can you surp the power of the president, you
29:13
Speaker 3: surp the democratic process, the will of the American people.
29:17
Speaker 3: How is that traveling? Where are we with that? Well read?
29:22
Speaker 9: I'm glad you liked the term. I'm pretty sure that
29:23
Speaker 9: I was one who actually coined it. So I'm quite
29:26
Speaker 9: a hading myself with the term digital insurrection. It's actually caught
29:28
Speaker 9: on a little bit here in American media, but it
29:30
Speaker 9: really is pretty unprecedent. I mean, Donald Trump during his
29:33
Speaker 9: first four years as president from twenty seventeen to twenty
29:36
Speaker 9: twenty one, he faced sixty five so called niche wine injunctions,
29:39
Speaker 9: which by the way, is more than the first forty
29:41
Speaker 9: four presidents combined. And there was a case in twenty
29:44
Speaker 9: eighteen called Trump versus Trump versus Hawaii, the so called
29:47
Speaker 9: travel band case. Justice Clarence Thomas very presciently said in
29:50
Speaker 9: any concurring opinion, he said, you know what, unless this
29:54
Speaker 9: just dies down off it's on a cord, We're going
29:56
Speaker 9: to have to confront this sooner rather than later. This
29:58
Speaker 9: issue of the so called Lower cour and niche Y injunctions.
30:01
Speaker 9: That was seven years ago and here we are and
30:03
Speaker 9: it's still just raging like wildfire. So the good news, potentially,
30:07
Speaker 9: potentially is that next week, on Thursday, there is a
30:11
Speaker 9: birthright citizenship oral argument with the US Supreme Court. But
30:14
Speaker 9: they're not actually going to be arguing the fourteen Amendment
30:16
Speaker 9: merits of birthright citizenship. Rather, this is going to be
30:19
Speaker 9: an argument about the scope of the injunction power of
30:22
Speaker 9: the federal course. This is actually a really golden opportunity
30:25
Speaker 9: if the justices actually wanted to do so, to define
30:28
Speaker 9: what the judicial power in our constitutional order means and
30:31
Speaker 9: what it does not mean. I'm cautiously optimistic they will
30:34
Speaker 9: not let that opportunity go to waste there, But as
30:36
Speaker 9: with all things judicial branch related RIDA, I can only
30:39
Speaker 9: be cautiously optimistic. I've just been burned too many times
30:42
Speaker 9: before to be just particularly gung ho about it either.
30:47
Speaker 3: Now let's go back to Times Square and a new
30:51
Speaker 3: piece of public art has been unveiled and it's pretty underwhelming.
30:56
Speaker 3: I've got to say I could use stronger language. Yah
30:59
Speaker 3: tell me The reason isn't behind directing this twelve foot
31:03
Speaker 3: statue of a fictionalized mildly obese black woman in Times Squares.
31:08
Speaker 3: It's not exactly a stunning piece of art the craftsmanship there.
31:14
Speaker 3: It ain't Michelangelo's David, that's for sure. Yeah.
31:19
Speaker 9: Yeah, it really is quite a long way from Michelangelo,
31:21
Speaker 9: isn't it. Look, I mean, this is the whole body
31:24
Speaker 9: positivity movement, right, I mean, I mean this is kind
31:26
Speaker 9: of the whole notion of just trying to exalt people
31:29
Speaker 9: who just kind of just just go with the diet
31:31
Speaker 9: and they don't exercise, and just trying to make it
31:33
Speaker 9: seem like that. Oh, you know, we've discriminated against obese
31:37
Speaker 9: people for so long by having all these flashy ads
31:39
Speaker 9: with the people who are rail thin there, and you're
31:41
Speaker 9: encouraging all these people to be anarext I mean, you
31:45
Speaker 9: know that's the argument there. But in reality, in reality,
31:48
Speaker 9: we want people to be healthy. I mean, last night, Chah,
31:50
Speaker 9: that's the whole Maha make America Healthy Again RFT Junior platform.
31:54
Speaker 9: We don't want to be the most obese country in
31:56
Speaker 9: the world, at least I don't. I don't want America
31:58
Speaker 9: to be the most obese country in the world. But unfortunately,
32:01
Speaker 9: you know, pr stunts like this when you are just
32:03
Speaker 9: exalting morbidity, when you are exalting obesity there, I mean,
32:07
Speaker 9: what do you think is gonna happen there? Frankly, this
32:09
Speaker 9: seems to me to be in fairly direct response actually
32:13
Speaker 9: to the whole RFK Junior Maha phenomenon.
32:16
Speaker 4: There.
32:16
Speaker 9: They're basically saying, Okay, you know what I mean, are
32:19
Speaker 9: RFK is going to do this in DC when it
32:21
Speaker 9: comes to some vaccine stuff, to food dies all of
32:24
Speaker 9: that there, But you know what, we're going to double
32:26
Speaker 9: down on the notion that it's actually okay to be overweight.
32:29
Speaker 9: The problem, among other things, is that when you exalt
32:32
Speaker 9: obesity in this country there you are straining the healthcare system,
32:35
Speaker 9: and America's healthcare system or entitlement programs Medicare, it's all
32:38
Speaker 9: going bankrupt. So, even if you don't particularly care about health,
32:41
Speaker 9: which you should as a pure fiscal matter, encouraging this
32:45
Speaker 9: sort of stuff it's not a good.
32:46
Speaker 3: Idea, now I'm with you there, And just esthetically, it's
32:52
Speaker 3: not a beautiful piece of work. I think anything at
32:55
Speaker 3: time you erect art somewhere, particularly something that's a twelve
32:59
Speaker 3: foot structure. It has to have some beauty about it.
33:03
Speaker 3: I think we've kind of lost track of that. And
33:06
Speaker 3: they used to make beautiful buildings, they make beautiful public
33:10
Speaker 3: pieces of art, and now we've got things like that. Now,
33:14
Speaker 3: let's talk about the Trump administration's tariff policy, particularly the
33:19
Speaker 3: trade war with China. It's working as intended in driving
33:23
Speaker 3: down demand for Chinese made products. Imports from China have
33:28
Speaker 3: dropped dramatically. Josh, what's that going to mean? Now We're
33:32
Speaker 3: going to see shortages, big price hikes. Are you seeing
33:36
Speaker 3: some of those short term impacts? And how far are
33:42
Speaker 3: we from getting some details about trade deals? The administration
33:46
Speaker 3: has been touting that they're not far away.
33:50
Speaker 9: Well, I've not personally noticed any retail price hikes yet,
33:54
Speaker 9: but I think a lot of Americans are starting to
33:56
Speaker 9: potentially gear themselves for exactly that sort of thing. In fact,
34:00
Speaker 9: if you look at the international ports they're shipping, it
34:03
Speaker 9: really plummeted after the tariffs were announced, unsurprisingly in mid
34:07
Speaker 9: to late April. But if we actually go back to
34:09
Speaker 9: the March data, it was actually, if I call proptly,
34:12
Speaker 9: there was a pretty large increase actually in imports including
34:15
Speaker 9: from China, because a lot of people were expecting this
34:17
Speaker 9: tariff role out there. So look, we'll see there definitely
34:20
Speaker 9: could be a short term price effect. The good news,
34:23
Speaker 9: as you said, is that Scott bess and to our
34:25
Speaker 9: Treasury secretary, is currently meeting this week with his Chinese counterparts.
34:29
Speaker 9: We'll see what happens. Look, China is ultimately more dependent
34:33
Speaker 9: on the United States than the United States is on China.
34:36
Speaker 9: It would be a tough economic decoupling. I'm not suggesting
34:40
Speaker 9: this is the kind of thing that can easily happen.
34:41
Speaker 9: I'm frankly not suggesting that this is the kind of
34:43
Speaker 9: thing that could happen in the short to near term
34:46
Speaker 9: at all. Frankly, But if America can ultimately become less
34:50
Speaker 9: dependent on its chief art geopolitical rival, a country that
34:54
Speaker 9: literally flies spy balloons across our continent, the country that
34:57
Speaker 9: spies on us through everything from TikTok to Confucius institutes,
35:01
Speaker 9: the campus, if we can get less dependent on them,
35:03
Speaker 9: that is a good thing. And if we can reasure
35:05
Speaker 9: more jobs in the process, that's a doubly good thing.
35:07
Speaker 3: Franklin, Now to another example of America First policies from
35:14
Speaker 3: the Trump administration. This one has some Democrats support. It's
35:17
Speaker 3: good to see senat Is Josh Hawley and Peter Welch
35:21
Speaker 3: are producing legislation to force drug companies not to charge
35:26
Speaker 3: high prices in the US than the international average. This
35:31
Speaker 3: war against big farmer, it's extending well beyond RFK Junior.
35:36
Speaker 9: Josh, Yeah, this has become this is rapidly become a
35:41
Speaker 9: very aggressive part I think of the new Republican parties platform.
35:44
Speaker 9: But as you mentioned, this is a bipartisan piece of legislation.
35:47
Speaker 9: Cener Holly and Senator Welch, who's a pretty liberal center
35:49
Speaker 9: from the state of Remands. Josh Holly, who personally is
35:52
Speaker 9: one of my absolute favorite senators. I'm a big fan
35:54
Speaker 9: of his. He has very much been the tip of
35:56
Speaker 9: the sphere of a lot more actually of these more
35:59
Speaker 9: shall we say, pop list inclined economic styles of bill
36:03
Speaker 9: legislation that he's had previously previous legislation when it comes
36:06
Speaker 9: to trying to cap credit card fees, a lot of
36:08
Speaker 9: stuff that your typical kind of nineteen eighties nostalgia Republican
36:12
Speaker 9: wouldn't necessarily dream of there. But this is a new
36:14
Speaker 9: breed of Republican. I mean the entire Donald Trump Maga
36:17
Speaker 9: Maha coalition. There. Yeah, it's partially about taking on big
36:20
Speaker 9: pharma for sure, and big Pharma I think it has
36:23
Speaker 9: a lot of bipartis and enemies across the entire spectrum
36:25
Speaker 9: these days in Washington, d C. But it's also just
36:28
Speaker 9: partially about this kind of more economically nationalists, more populars
36:32
Speaker 9: style of economic stake craft as well. The tariff policy
36:34
Speaker 9: certainly fits into that as well. There Again, these are
36:36
Speaker 9: the kind of things that the Republican Party prior to
36:39
Speaker 9: Donald Trump's to send down the gilded escalator of Trump
36:41
Speaker 9: Tower in twenty fifteen, Never in a million years we
36:44
Speaker 9: would dreaming, I mean, thinking back to like the twenty
36:46
Speaker 9: twelve Mitt Romney Paul Ryan platform, the notion of punitive
36:49
Speaker 9: tariffs on other countries, the notion of trying to cap
36:52
Speaker 9: prescription drug prices. I mean, it would have been a
36:54
Speaker 9: totally foreign exercise there. But this is a very very
36:57
Speaker 9: different Republican Party in the year twenty twenty five.
37:01
Speaker 3: Very different than neo cons are gone. It's a new GOP,
37:05
Speaker 3: it certainly is. But before you go, I just want
37:07
Speaker 3: to quickly ask you about French President Emmanuel mccron. He
37:10
Speaker 3: hosted the Syrian leader I'med al Shara, and earlier today
37:16
Speaker 3: he called on the US and the European Union to
37:19
Speaker 3: lift sanctions against Syria. Josh, this character, al Shara is
37:27
Speaker 3: an Islamist, he is a former member of al Qaeda.
37:30
Speaker 3: He's got supporters right now targeting religious minorities in Syria.
37:35
Speaker 3: Should he be treated like some dignitary here?
37:39
Speaker 9: This is disgusting, I mean, this is just utterly appalling.
37:43
Speaker 9: And unfortunately Emmanuel Macron is not the only person who
37:46
Speaker 9: is treating this al Qaeda jihadi in a suit as
37:50
Speaker 9: some sort of legitimate leader. I mean, you actually had
37:53
Speaker 9: multiple US congressmen who became the first to fly to
37:56
Speaker 9: Damascus to meet with this Islamist thug about a week
37:58
Speaker 9: and a half, two weeks ago or so. So this
38:01
Speaker 9: is rapidly becoming a normalized situation that simply should not
38:04
Speaker 9: be normalized because, among the other things, what you alluded
38:07
Speaker 9: to is totally crap. There's actually been there have been
38:09
Speaker 9: recent massacres. The media is really not reporting this at all.
38:12
Speaker 9: There have been recent massacres of the Syrian Druze population.
38:15
Speaker 9: It's horrific stuff there. Because the current government in Damascus
38:18
Speaker 9: is an Islamist government there. This guy puts on a suit,
38:22
Speaker 9: he talks like he's a Harvard Dei professor, talking about
38:25
Speaker 9: the beauty of diversity there. When it's when it comes
38:27
Speaker 9: to two different types. Assunni Shia Drew's Christians so warth there.
38:32
Speaker 9: He is not a Westerner. This Cau's an Islamist. He
38:35
Speaker 9: was literally a purpatetic Al Qaeda Jihati, going from country
38:38
Speaker 9: to country throughout the Middle East, fighting for various offshoots
38:41
Speaker 9: of al Qaeda, from the original one to al Nusra
38:44
Speaker 9: to HRT And now Emmanuel McCrone is talking about why.
38:50
Speaker 9: I literally don't get it there. The only thing I
38:52
Speaker 9: can think of is that Macron in France they have
38:54
Speaker 9: very unique They have a very unique relationship with Lebanon
38:56
Speaker 9: of course there and Syria. The current government there is
38:59
Speaker 9: very cozy with Hasbola, which still has a major presence
39:01
Speaker 9: in Loveanon there. So maybe that maybe that's that's what's
39:03
Speaker 9: going on here. But it's really quite appalling and dare
39:05
Speaker 9: I say even outright disgusting.
39:09
Speaker 3: Josh Hamma, thank you so much for your time tonight.
39:12
Speaker 3: Thank you still to come. Former First Lady Michelle Obama
39:16
Speaker 3: reveals that she's receiving therapy. Kinsey Schofield joins me next
39:29
Speaker 3: Welcome back, Joining Me now celebrity and royal commentator Kinsey
39:33
Speaker 3: Schofield Kinsey Former First Lady Michelle Obama has revealed that
39:37
Speaker 3: she's now in therapy in a tell All interview with Jay.
39:41
Speaker 14: Shetty, I believe in couples therapy. I believe I believe
39:45
Speaker 14: in it all. Whatever works for you. And at this
39:49
Speaker 14: you know, phase of my life, I'm in therapy right
39:52
Speaker 14: now because I'm transitioning.
39:55
Speaker 3: You know, I'm sixty years old.
39:57
Speaker 14: I finished a really hard thing in my life with
40:00
Speaker 14: my family intact, I'm an empty nester. My girls are in,
40:05
Speaker 14: you know, they've been launched.
40:07
Speaker 3: I didn't know we had to have therapy for each
40:09
Speaker 3: stage of life at Kinsey, what else can you tell
40:12
Speaker 3: me about this interview?
40:14
Speaker 11: I can tell you that Joan Rivers would have had
40:15
Speaker 11: a field day with a transitioning clip.
40:18
Speaker 3: Okay.
40:20
Speaker 11: What I can tell you is that the most captivating
40:23
Speaker 11: people are those.
40:23
Speaker 3: Who leave room for curiosity.
40:25
Speaker 11: You know, mystery invites intrigue and over sharing, demands attention
40:30
Speaker 11: without earning it.
40:31
Speaker 3: And no matter how.
40:32
Speaker 11: Many headlines she gets with some of these random revelations,
40:37
Speaker 11: whether it's a fight with Barack. It does not help
40:40
Speaker 11: her podcast on the charts. She's a commercial flop so far,
40:46
Speaker 11: and that's why you're seeing her do all of these interviews.
40:48
Speaker 11: But at the end of the day, people are really
40:50
Speaker 11: not interested in what she has to say.
40:55
Speaker 3: Now. I think the last election campaign and certainly since
40:58
Speaker 3: the launch of this filing podcast past, it's really diminished
41:02
Speaker 3: her standing and revealed that she's not as wildly popular
41:06
Speaker 3: as the media told us she was for years. Now,
41:10
Speaker 3: let's talk about Anna Winter, the editor in chief of
41:13
Speaker 3: Vogue and chair of the Met Gala. She's snubb singer
41:17
Speaker 3: songwriter Nicole Scherzinger, leaving her out of the sea every
41:22
Speaker 3: look from the Met Gala twenty twenty five red carpet
41:26
Speaker 3: last night in the photo collection there. This comes after
41:30
Speaker 3: the singer caused a bit of an uproar because she
41:33
Speaker 3: expressed her approval of Russell Brand's MAGA styled Make Jesus
41:38
Speaker 3: First Again hat. So it was just a hat that
41:41
Speaker 3: was celebrating Jesus, but apparently that is also something that
41:46
Speaker 3: is unacceptable among the left. At the moment, Kinsey, the
41:50
Speaker 3: Met Gala has become pretty lame, these days, is Anna
41:55
Speaker 3: Winter a big part of why it's lost its luster.
41:59
Speaker 3: It's become a subject of mockery rather than something to admire.
42:03
Speaker 11: I mean, she had a stain on her dress, This
42:07
Speaker 11: woman who is apparently everyone is terrified of in the
42:11
Speaker 11: fashion industry, what in turn lost their head this week?
42:14
Speaker 3: Is what I want to know.
42:16
Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean, I think Anna Wintour, along with the
42:18
Speaker 11: met Gala, is way past their cell by date. You know,
42:23
Speaker 11: it's pretentious, it lacks creativity, and I don't You're seeing
42:28
Speaker 11: all the attendees inside taking selfies, which is against the rules,
42:32
Speaker 11: like they're teenagers at prom. Even the celebrities have lost
42:37
Speaker 11: respect for her. I think it is over. It is
42:40
Speaker 11: not the it's not the Princess Diana event that it
42:43
Speaker 11: used to be.
42:46
Speaker 3: Now. It used to be something that really turned heads.
42:51
Speaker 3: Everyone wanted to say what the fashions were, everyone wanted
42:53
Speaker 3: to say who was attending. But these days you just
42:57
Speaker 3: look at it and cringe. Eighty percent of it, and
43:01
Speaker 3: the big names don't seem to be going the way
43:03
Speaker 3: they were. There were a lot of people there where
43:06
Speaker 3: I had no idea who they were. They were like
43:09
Speaker 3: contestants on Big Brother that you have to Google to
43:14
Speaker 3: see which celebrity they are. Now, this story with Bill Belichick,
43:19
Speaker 3: I've got to say, I can't get enough of it.
43:21
Speaker 3: This is a football coach, a legend of the game.
43:25
Speaker 3: He's reportedly sidelined his twenty four year old girlfriend, Jordan
43:29
Speaker 3: Hudson after that humiliating CBS interview where she kept interrupting
43:34
Speaker 3: his answers. Now, Bill's seventy three. We're talking about a
43:38
Speaker 3: forty nine year age gap here. He's looking to hire
43:42
Speaker 3: a PR specialist, Kinsey, to take over from Hudson, who's
43:47
Speaker 3: been acting as his PR manager. Tell me more about
43:51
Speaker 3: this relationship. I mean, I'm hearing, I'm hearing comparisons with
43:57
Speaker 3: Jill Biden, doctor Jill saying that might have some elder
44:01
Speaker 3: abuse happening here. That's hilarious.
44:03
Speaker 11: Okay, Well, I didn't know this the last time I
44:06
Speaker 11: talked to you, but I did find out.
44:07
Speaker 3: They met on a plane.
44:09
Speaker 11: She was reading a book and he started talking to
44:11
Speaker 11: her about that book.
44:12
Speaker 3: So that's how they met. But here's some of the
44:14
Speaker 3: good gossip.
44:15
Speaker 11: He was having a docuseries built around him and this
44:19
Speaker 11: new team he's coaching, this college team. Jordan came in
44:23
Speaker 11: with a list of demands wanted to be heavily involved.
44:25
Speaker 11: Within two days of production, they killed this entire show.
44:30
Speaker 3: She was too much for them.
44:31
Speaker 11: And then we find out she actually inserted herself in
44:35
Speaker 11: the super Bowl commercial, the Dunkin Donut super Bowl commercial.
44:39
Speaker 11: They reached out to her to try to get to
44:40
Speaker 11: Bill and she wormed her way into the commercial as well.
44:44
Speaker 3: So she is drama. Oh, drama with a capital day.
44:50
Speaker 3: My god, yeah, she's But the whole thing is enthralling
44:54
Speaker 3: and slightly creepy. I want to ply this enthrolling clip
44:59
Speaker 3: of actually enthralling is the wrong word for this. It's
45:02
Speaker 3: more hilarious than enthralling. It's adorable. It's Prince Louis making
45:07
Speaker 3: fun of his big brother, Prince George during victory in
45:10
Speaker 3: Europe Day commemorations in London. It's just adorable, the whole thing,
45:25
Speaker 3: the mockery, the death set from the future King there.
45:29
Speaker 3: We love George, but if I could make Prince Louis
45:32
Speaker 3: King tomorrow, I would Kinsey Louis has a way of
45:44
Speaker 3: stealing the show. Tell me about this royal unity that
45:50
Speaker 3: we saw at this event. We had King Charles there,
45:52
Speaker 3: the rest of the royal family all there, to mark
45:55
Speaker 3: the eightieth anniversary of Victory in Europe Day, and it's
45:59
Speaker 3: been interpreted as a power move to send a clear
46:05
Speaker 3: message to Prince Harry and Megan Markle that the family
46:08
Speaker 3: is united.
46:10
Speaker 11: Yeah, I don't think that they even I don't even
46:11
Speaker 11: think Prince Harry's on their radar, quite honestly. And that's
46:14
Speaker 11: what I'm hearing. That they gave up on him a
46:16
Speaker 11: long time ago. But seeing you know, the four generations
46:20
Speaker 11: on the balcony, the Duke of Kent, that the King
46:22
Speaker 11: and the Queen and Prince Louis with his without his teeth,
46:27
Speaker 11: it did send a strong message that this family is
46:30
Speaker 11: this family has a long way to go, and that
46:33
Speaker 11: they love each other and that they love their country.
46:36
Speaker 3: And I actually have heard, here's.
46:38
Speaker 11: A little piece of information I haven't told anybody yet,
46:40
Speaker 11: that Prince Harry is obsessed with this footage. Will watch
46:44
Speaker 11: the footage from the day, will watch to see what
46:48
Speaker 11: they look like on the balcony. Clearly he misses this
46:51
Speaker 11: life and they have moved on.
46:56
Speaker 3: I think he has some regrets, though he may not
46:58
Speaker 3: admit it to himself. Off, before you go, this footage
47:02
Speaker 3: of Kanie a West walking out on an interview with
47:06
Speaker 3: PS Morgan has gone viral, understandably, So what do you
47:10
Speaker 3: talk about?
47:10
Speaker 2: It's thirty Okay, now you're not taking accountability or response,
47:16
Speaker 2: you know, of course, I no, no, sir. This is
47:23
Speaker 2: what you get for now. We can we can circle
47:26
Speaker 2: back when you can count.
47:28
Speaker 3: Okay, Kinsey, we can't be shocked anymore, can we.
47:36
Speaker 11: You know, Kanye once said he's more more influential than Picasso,
47:41
Speaker 11: and honestly, his public breakdowns might be his most abstract
47:45
Speaker 11: work yet.
47:49
Speaker 3: Kinsey Schofield, thank you so much for your time, and
47:52
Speaker 3: that's all the time I've got. I'll see you at
47:54
Speaker 3: nine pm tomorrow night for Left, He's losing it up.
47:58
Speaker 3: Next it's Newsnight.
48:03
Speaker 8: S
