Speaker 2: This is the Wider Panalty Show.
0:09
Speaker 3: Good evening and welcome to the Reata Panecky Show. Coming
0:12
Speaker 3: up tonight, Victoria's crime crisis hits a tipping point following
0:16
Speaker 3: a horrific home.
0:17
Speaker 4: Invasion over the weekend.
0:19
Speaker 3: Patrick Carly and Colleen Harkin will join me to discuss
0:23
Speaker 3: that and much more. The Great Josh Hammer will have
0:26
Speaker 3: the latest from the US, including the law catching up
0:29
Speaker 3: with some powerful nefarious characters. Miss Universe Australia and the
0:35
Speaker 3: first runner up will join me and they have a
0:37
Speaker 3: message for those who say beauty pageants are misogynistic. And
0:41
Speaker 3: later in the hour, Kinsisko Field will tell me why
0:44
Speaker 3: Tennis Great Serena Williams is under attack from feminists and
0:49
Speaker 3: we never forget left He's losing it Tonight featuring this
0:53
Speaker 3: charming lass Naga.
0:55
Speaker 5: People deserve to be terrified and scared to walk in
0:57
Speaker 5: the streets because they should know that real Americans can
1:00
Speaker 5: kill them.
1:01
Speaker 3: But first of Victorious Crime Crisis, and we've seen yet
1:05
Speaker 3: another horrific attack unfold over the weekend after a group
1:09
Speaker 3: of up to ten machete wielding attackers gate crashed the
1:13
Speaker 3: party held at an Airbnb property in Trugannina.
1:18
Speaker 6: A scene of panic spills onto the street. A Trugannina
1:27
Speaker 6: house party turns into a blood bark. It was almost
1:34
Speaker 6: five am when up to ten armed men stormed the
1:37
Speaker 6: short stay rental.
1:39
Speaker 7: The crime scene was quite confronting. There was quite a
1:42
Speaker 7: bit of damage and sniopy amount of blood.
1:44
Speaker 6: Three men were stabbed, two of them suffered serious injuries.
1:48
Speaker 6: The scene left witnesses on edge inside a horrific mess,
1:52
Speaker 6: bloody flows and discarded wound dressings, alcohol bottles with anti
1:56
Speaker 6: theft rings still attached. The trashed house was on Booking
2:01
Speaker 6: dot com. This time. The attackers were gone before police arrived.
2:05
Speaker 8: It is a revolving door of crime.
2:07
Speaker 6: The machete amnesty starts in a week, but even the
2:10
Speaker 6: Police Minister doesn't seem convinced.
2:12
Speaker 3: We understand that there are those in acuity who won't
2:15
Speaker 3: participate in the amnesty. According to the stats, Melbourne is
2:19
Speaker 3: the home invasion capital of Australia.
2:22
Speaker 4: The Daily Mails.
2:22
Speaker 3: Porl Shapiro writing, I've covered courts and crime in Victoria
2:26
Speaker 3: for more than eight years. I can't remember the streets
2:29
Speaker 3: feeling so unsafe as the number of unsolved, brutal crimes
2:34
Speaker 3: escalate and legendary crime writer Andrew Rule has issued a plea.
2:38
Speaker 3: He wrote in The Herald Son. I've covered crime in
2:41
Speaker 3: Victoria for most of the past forty five years, give
2:45
Speaker 3: or tag. Now for the first time I worry about
2:48
Speaker 3: my city and state where criminals have no fear of
2:52
Speaker 3: the law, police can't contain them, and the courts and
2:55
Speaker 3: government don't seem worried about stopping them. The result is
2:59
Speaker 3: that ordinary, very decent people in the Heartland have fear
3:03
Speaker 3: in their hearts. Joining me now for more on this
3:07
Speaker 3: is News Corps and your writer Patrick Carline, and research
3:10
Speaker 3: for at the Institute of Public Affairs, Colleen Harken. Patrick,
3:14
Speaker 3: It's almost as if we need more than just these
3:17
Speaker 3: machete bins.
3:20
Speaker 2: Yes, they're a joke, aren't they really. They're going to
3:22
Speaker 2: cost a fortune. They're not going to stop one of
3:24
Speaker 2: these things happening. They're happening almost every day at the moment.
3:28
Speaker 2: You had that poor bloke last week in the East
3:30
Speaker 2: and southernbs of Melbourne, you stabed eleven times in his
3:33
Speaker 2: own house, and you had his there were grandparents and
3:35
Speaker 2: children in the house. You had five robberies where five
3:39
Speaker 2: kids just went from shop to shop basically with machetes.
3:42
Speaker 2: Two of them were on bail the next day. I think,
3:44
Speaker 2: of course, how the hell does that happen? This has
3:47
Speaker 2: been happening for years. Why hasn't anything changed. We are afraid,
3:51
Speaker 2: we are.
3:52
Speaker 3: And I think Andrew Rule made that point, Colleen, that
3:55
Speaker 3: ordinary people are now afraid. I know you live bayside.
3:59
Speaker 3: How bad is it because we've had these home invasions,
4:03
Speaker 3: aggravated burglaries, We've got seventeen a day.
4:07
Speaker 9: Correct, people are genuinely living in fear. Victoria's crime rate
4:13
Speaker 9: has increased twenty percent just in the last twelve months.
4:16
Speaker 9: And the age bracket of ten to seventeen year olds,
4:19
Speaker 9: although they're responsible for thirteen percent of the crimes, they're
4:22
Speaker 9: two thirds responsible for robberies, about half responsible for aggravated burglaries,
4:28
Speaker 9: and about a quarter of car thefts. So this is
4:31
Speaker 9: our people who are underage, you know, not mature age people.
4:35
Speaker 9: It's not sort of petty crime. It is crime that
4:38
Speaker 9: is really putting people fearful of having a quiet suburban
4:42
Speaker 9: life in there suburbs. And the government's response is response
4:46
Speaker 9: is to spend thirteen million dollars on MICHETI bin's thinking
4:48
Speaker 9: that people will comply. You know, I'm sure that the
4:52
Speaker 9: police would have loved that thirteen million dollars for a
4:54
Speaker 9: few extra police on the road.
4:56
Speaker 4: It seems mad and patrick.
4:58
Speaker 3: One of the reactions from the left seems to be, well, well,
5:01
Speaker 3: let's lower the age of criminal responsibility.
5:04
Speaker 4: Let's make it a non.
5:06
Speaker 3: Crime for these kids to be inflicting this on society.
5:11
Speaker 3: I just feel like in this state, it's not just
5:15
Speaker 3: the current government, it's not just the police hierarchy. It's
5:18
Speaker 3: the entire machinery, the entire bureaucracy in the justice system
5:22
Speaker 3: that has just got it so wrong.
5:24
Speaker 2: And look, it's moving on that. I think as Andrew
5:26
Speaker 2: Rule made the point, we're afraid it is. Actually, it's
5:30
Speaker 2: not about whether bail is the right thing for fifteen
5:33
Speaker 2: year old for the tenth time in a row, who
5:35
Speaker 2: goes and does it again. It's about the fact that
5:37
Speaker 2: people are unsafe, and I really do fear that somebody
5:41
Speaker 2: is going to get killed at some point, and all
5:44
Speaker 2: these do good, feel good sort of ways of trying
5:47
Speaker 2: to handle this problem, they're going to look so ridiculous
5:50
Speaker 2: and we're going to look at that death and we're
5:51
Speaker 2: going to say this should never have happened.
5:53
Speaker 3: Well, there is just this philosophy, Colleen, that if you
5:57
Speaker 3: wrap your arms around these youth offenders, even once who
6:02
Speaker 3: aren't youth of vendors, that's the way to rehabilitate them
6:06
Speaker 3: and have them as lawful members of society.
6:09
Speaker 4: But we've seen elsewhere got Singapore.
6:12
Speaker 3: For example, when you have a hard law and order
6:16
Speaker 3: philosophy where people are properly punished, then they are less
6:20
Speaker 3: likely to commit crimes.
6:22
Speaker 9: There's also a very big difference between a young kid
6:24
Speaker 9: doing something stupid and a kid who's breaking into a
6:28
Speaker 9: home with a machete and stabbing someone.
6:30
Speaker 4: Yeah, they know that's wrong. They know that is wrong.
6:32
Speaker 9: There is no wrapping your arms around a person like
6:34
Speaker 9: that in saying, Cumbai, I hope you're okay. You know,
6:37
Speaker 9: we have to actually get serious about irrelevant of their age.
6:43
Speaker 9: Do you do know what you're doing is wrong when
6:44
Speaker 9: you're stabbing someone and breaking into their home.
6:47
Speaker 3: Now, people who are old enough to know better, we're
6:49
Speaker 3: all over the country protesting. Over the weekend, we saw
6:53
Speaker 3: what's been described as the largest national rally for Palestine
6:58
Speaker 3: yet tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of people across
7:02
Speaker 3: Australia's capital cities. Cities were brought to a standstill. Some
7:08
Speaker 3: of these protesters, I'm sure are well meaning, but a
7:13
Speaker 3: lot of them are saying some terrible things, including denying
7:18
Speaker 3: what happened.
7:19
Speaker 4: On October seven.
7:21
Speaker 1: Similar rallies took place around the country, demanding the Albanese
7:25
Speaker 1: government sanction Israel. Some activists today calling the October seven
7:30
Speaker 1: attack a hoax.
7:33
Speaker 10: In every corner of our country, pro Palestine protesters shut
7:37
Speaker 10: down city streets in what they say was their largest
7:41
Speaker 10: national action yet. Melbourne lived up to its reputation as
7:47
Speaker 10: the protest capital of Australia, with thousands blocking cars, trams
7:57
Speaker 10: and pedestrians on what's now become a regular less Sunday
8:00
Speaker 10: afternoon in our CBD.
8:02
Speaker 11: We've come to be able to go to the bank.
8:04
Speaker 11: We've just had all the commercial that is, we were
8:07
Speaker 11: just like, what's going on here.
8:08
Speaker 8: I can guarantee every single Palacetinian standing today does not.
8:13
Speaker 12: Recognize the statehood that the Albanies and government has called for.
8:18
Speaker 13: It is a power sign from the river through.
8:21
Speaker 4: The sea, from the river to the sea.
8:24
Speaker 3: We know what that means. An activists at the Sydney
8:27
Speaker 3: March were treated to this die tribe from former Australian
8:30
Speaker 3: of the Year Grace Team.
8:33
Speaker 14: If we can get three hundred thousand people to block
8:36
Speaker 14: the bridge, we can get three millions, we can get more.
8:41
Speaker 4: Well, Colleen, how do you see this?
8:44
Speaker 3: I know there's a lot of Australians who just hate
8:47
Speaker 3: to see these overseas conflicts brought here and those sorts
8:52
Speaker 3: of ancient hatreds, but there's no doubt that amongst left,
8:58
Speaker 3: they are very much activated by this issue.
9:01
Speaker 4: For sure.
9:01
Speaker 9: To me, this is visual evidence of the failure of
9:04
Speaker 9: multiculturalism in Australia, because Australia has been built on thousands
9:10
Speaker 9: of people coming from all different countries, all different religions,
9:13
Speaker 9: and putting their past problems behind them in order for
9:16
Speaker 9: us to move forward and living together. And what we're
9:19
Speaker 9: seeing now imported onto our streets as images of people
9:23
Speaker 9: marching behind Iranian dictators, the burning of our own flag,
9:28
Speaker 9: you know, sort of aligning themselves with people who don't
9:31
Speaker 9: under who don't appreciate or value our freedoms, our equality
9:35
Speaker 9: of women in particular and homosexuality, and they're sort of
9:38
Speaker 9: lining up in there with this sort of you know,
9:41
Speaker 9: effectively recognizing and supporting terrorism, and it's on our streets.
9:46
Speaker 9: It's very worrying for what's happening to the divisiveness of
9:49
Speaker 9: our own culture and the undermining of their own values.
9:53
Speaker 3: But it's not just important hatreds, because as we saw
9:56
Speaker 3: there with Grace Tame, and there were plenty of others
9:58
Speaker 3: of these marches across the country.
10:00
Speaker 4: Patrick, there's plenty.
10:02
Speaker 3: Of university students born and bred in Australia, generations of
10:09
Speaker 3: heritage in Australia who also hate this country, who think
10:13
Speaker 3: we are built on stolen land, that should be ashamed
10:16
Speaker 3: of modern Australia, and.
10:19
Speaker 4: They share those sentiments as well.
10:21
Speaker 2: Look, it comes from the extreme left. It's been allowed
10:24
Speaker 2: to fester for too long, hasn't it. Really. We saw
10:27
Speaker 2: a har mass flag in Brisbane at that really on weekend.
10:30
Speaker 2: I mean, how are these things. I'm not saying they're allowed,
10:35
Speaker 2: but they're not being sort of put down the way
10:38
Speaker 2: that they ought to be in a sort of reflexive way.
10:41
Speaker 2: We can't have this sort of chatter. We can't have
10:44
Speaker 2: people behind the microphone saying Israel should be made extinct.
10:49
Speaker 2: Let's make it extinct tomorrow. What about the Jewish community.
10:52
Speaker 2: They've been suffering this really badly for more than eight
10:56
Speaker 2: eight months now. How safe do they feel. We've panned
10:59
Speaker 2: into these extreme elements in a way that has allowed
11:03
Speaker 2: those elements to get bolder.
11:05
Speaker 3: I think I've spoke to a leader in the Jewish
11:07
Speaker 3: community recently and they said they've never seen the environment
11:11
Speaker 3: like this, and so many people within the Jewish community
11:14
Speaker 3: are now looking at a plan B, looking at to
11:17
Speaker 3: leave Australia, which is really quite shameful. Now to a
11:21
Speaker 3: disturbing report from ABC, and they deserve praise for the
11:26
Speaker 3: investigative work they've done here in revealing the manner in
11:29
Speaker 3: which some activists are being radicalized, and that these rallies
11:33
Speaker 3: have been attended by a convicted ISIS recruiter and a
11:37
Speaker 3: radical Muslim preacher.
11:39
Speaker 8: I have a look.
11:41
Speaker 11: This is the moment a protester came face to face
11:44
Speaker 11: with a convicted terrorist on the Sydney Harbor Bridge. ABC
11:49
Speaker 11: Investigations has revealed how supportives of the Islamic State Terrorist
11:53
Speaker 11: Group or ISIS, are exploiting the anti war movement to
11:57
Speaker 11: radicalize young Australians. This man is victored ISIS recruiter. USEUF,
12:01
Speaker 11: you ain't At. He was jailed for encouraging teenagers to
12:05
Speaker 11: launch attacks. You ain't At walked free less than two
12:08
Speaker 11: years ago without any restrictions. He convinced a judge he deradicalized.
12:13
Speaker 11: But at the Gars of War protest, if he posed
12:15
Speaker 11: on the bridge with this flag, it's a common Islamic
12:19
Speaker 11: symbol called the Shahada, which has been appropriated by Isis
12:22
Speaker 11: and al Qaeder. He was at the protest with a
12:26
Speaker 11: notorious preacher with some herdad. If you attack a lot,
12:29
Speaker 11: then you are going to be mets with men who
12:32
Speaker 11: love death more than you love life.
12:35
Speaker 3: Patrick, We are seeing some virulent anti semitism at some
12:39
Speaker 3: of these rallies. We're seeing anti vest propaganda. We're hearing
12:43
Speaker 3: about people being radicalized. This is going to be a
12:48
Speaker 3: lasting problem. This isn't going to go away once this
12:51
Speaker 3: conflict is finished.
12:53
Speaker 2: It's scary. And look, I agree with you that that's
12:56
Speaker 2: a great piece of journalism there. And my fear is
12:59
Speaker 2: they've got example here where these radicals are coming into
13:03
Speaker 2: protests where very extreme language is being used. As it is,
13:09
Speaker 2: are there a dozen other sort of sets of radicals
13:11
Speaker 2: actually seeking the same sorts of things. At the moment,
13:15
Speaker 2: it does make you really scared because they could do something,
13:19
Speaker 2: they could actually blow up something, they could name dozens
13:22
Speaker 2: of people. And this is happening here in Australia today.
13:26
Speaker 2: And as we were saying that the fever is getting hotter.
13:30
Speaker 3: Absolutely, and Colin, we saw that during the Caliphate the
13:34
Speaker 3: number of Australians who went over to join the Caliphate
13:38
Speaker 3: and to fight with Islamic State, So we know that
13:42
Speaker 3: element exists already.
13:44
Speaker 9: Yeah, and Ridy, you can only live in peace if
13:46
Speaker 9: your enemy lets you. And so what's happening here is
13:49
Speaker 9: that we're allowing this kind of enemy fighting thing to continue.
13:54
Speaker 9: It's not being shut down. To Patrick's point earlier, that
13:57
Speaker 9: we're allowing it to fester in our own stuff tbs,
14:00
Speaker 9: in our own streets. And we've got these people who
14:02
Speaker 9: are radicalizing our young people, you know, pretending that it's
14:06
Speaker 9: a pathway to some kind of you know, we just
14:09
Speaker 9: heard him say like preferred death in life. I mean,
14:12
Speaker 9: that's extraordinary to allow that sort of conversation and that tenement,
14:17
Speaker 9: that narrative to be part of Australian story at the moment.
14:20
Speaker 3: Absolutely, Colin Harkin, Patrick Carline, thanks for your Times Now
14:26
Speaker 3: last week, I was in Perth and I was lucky
14:28
Speaker 3: enough to attend Miss Universe and asked the five finalists
14:31
Speaker 3: the final question. I made sure it was a hard
14:34
Speaker 3: one about the number of childless millennial women and the
14:38
Speaker 3: personal and societal impacts of that trend. But all five
14:42
Speaker 3: were up to the task and I'm delighted to welcome
14:45
Speaker 3: the final two. Joining me now is Miss Universe Australia,
14:49
Speaker 3: Alexi Brand. She joins me from the Gold Coast, and
14:52
Speaker 3: we also have the runner up, the first runner up,
14:54
Speaker 3: Ivy Prempe in Perth. First of all, congratulations to you both.
15:00
Speaker 4: Lexie. I'll start with you. There are a lot of
15:02
Speaker 4: folks out there who.
15:03
Speaker 3: See beauty pageants as outdated. They say it's degrading to women.
15:08
Speaker 3: Tell me what your experience has been like and why you,
15:12
Speaker 3: as a young professional woman, got involved.
15:17
Speaker 15: I think the Miss Universe Australia program is completely different
15:21
Speaker 15: to what you'll see in the movies and what you'll
15:23
Speaker 15: see in maybe those more outdated pageants that we see today.
15:27
Speaker 15: Even our directors say it's a party or a program,
15:30
Speaker 15: it's definitely not a pageant. Throughout the whole nine months
15:34
Speaker 15: that we've been doing this, I've experienced that think, but
15:37
Speaker 15: just professional development and such immense joy and I've loved
15:41
Speaker 15: getting to all the girls and at a Queensland level.
15:45
Speaker 15: It was the reason I really got into it was
15:47
Speaker 15: because there was such a degree of personal development that
15:52
Speaker 15: I still had to go in my life. And I
15:54
Speaker 15: entered when I was twenty and I was ready to
15:57
Speaker 15: take the next step in how I present myself and
16:00
Speaker 15: what I know about the world, and Miss univers Assarlia
16:04
Speaker 15: has definitely done that for me. So I've been able
16:06
Speaker 15: to take a new level on what I know in
16:08
Speaker 15: the world and a new level of how I can
16:12
Speaker 15: contribute to society.
16:15
Speaker 3: Ivy, the girls raised an enormous amount of money for charity,
16:19
Speaker 3: and you raised awareness for a number of important issues
16:23
Speaker 3: as well. I've got to say you were very brave
16:26
Speaker 3: on the night. You did not shy away from answering
16:30
Speaker 3: questions in a manner that some may see is polarizing.
16:34
Speaker 3: Where does that strength come from?
16:39
Speaker 12: Yeah, So going into this program my whole I guess
16:43
Speaker 12: like the whole part of it for me was just
16:45
Speaker 12: just really stay true to myself and my faith is
16:47
Speaker 12: a really big part of my life growing up, you know,
16:50
Speaker 12: as a minority in this country, I've always been taught
16:52
Speaker 12: to just be as strong as I can be, and really,
16:54
Speaker 12: if I believe in something, to really push forward and
16:57
Speaker 12: really talk about it with pumpdence. And that's really where
17:01
Speaker 12: it comes from. You know, my whole family, they've always
17:04
Speaker 12: been so behind me speaking out and it's just something
17:08
Speaker 12: that has just been ingrained in me since I was
17:10
Speaker 12: a child.
17:14
Speaker 3: Well, you did a fantastic job, and Lexi, as I said,
17:18
Speaker 3: beauty pageants have been described by some feminist as a
17:22
Speaker 3: manifestation of the patriarchy.
17:24
Speaker 4: Some of these naysays have.
17:28
Speaker 3: Described them in terms that are fairly dramatic and misogynistic.
17:32
Speaker 3: Meat Market was one of my favorites.
17:35
Speaker 8: Ivy.
17:36
Speaker 3: How has your experience been You have got a strong
17:40
Speaker 3: Christian faith. Do you do you feel in any way
17:43
Speaker 3: objectified throughout this process?
17:48
Speaker 12: Honestly, I didn't feel objectified at all. It's like Lexi said,
17:52
Speaker 12: it's not really a pageant, it's more of a party.
17:54
Speaker 12: Everyone is super welcoming. I got to spend weeks with
17:58
Speaker 12: the most incredible women across the Astralia and really shout
18:01
Speaker 12: out to them as well because it was honestly, we
18:04
Speaker 12: have this bond for life now. But no It's definitely
18:07
Speaker 12: something that really just helps you become a better person
18:10
Speaker 12: all round. So it's definitely not something that I thought
18:14
Speaker 12: interfered with my faith at all. Everyone was super open
18:16
Speaker 12: to me talking about it, and everyone was just really
18:19
Speaker 12: understanding and they wanted to learn more, which I thought
18:21
Speaker 12: was really great.
18:23
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was a really nice thing. I think there
18:27
Speaker 3: was just an everyone had an open mind. No one
18:30
Speaker 3: was going to get offended by you talking about how
18:34
Speaker 3: important your faith is in your life.
18:37
Speaker 4: Lexi.
18:38
Speaker 3: You're off to Thailand for Miss Universe. The global contest.
18:42
Speaker 3: Australia hasn't had a winner since Jennifer Hawkins back in
18:45
Speaker 3: two thousand and four. We've only had two winners in
18:48
Speaker 3: the history of Miss Universe. It's a lot of pressure.
18:52
Speaker 3: How are you feeling.
18:54
Speaker 15: I'm actually not feeling too bad. I've got a lot
18:57
Speaker 15: of support around me. I'm very grateful. I've got the
19:00
Speaker 15: former Missy Universs Australia's are We Creed and our walking
19:04
Speaker 15: coach Thelma in my state, so I am absolutely filled
19:08
Speaker 15: with support.
19:08
Speaker 1: I was just in.
19:09
Speaker 15: Melbourne and I've got a whole family down there, so
19:12
Speaker 15: I can feel Australia support behind me. So I'm not nervous.
19:17
Speaker 3: Absolutely, Australia is going to get behind you and the
19:21
Speaker 3: next Miss Universe Lexi brand. It sounds right to me, ladies,
19:26
Speaker 3: thank you so much for your time tonight.
19:29
Speaker 12: Thank you, thank you so much for having us.
19:31
Speaker 4: Still to come.
19:32
Speaker 3: Lefties losing it plus the lasias from the US, including
19:36
Speaker 3: the law catching up with some powerful nefarious characters. The
19:41
Speaker 3: Great Josh Hammer joins me. Next, you're watching the Reader
19:54
Speaker 3: Panny Show, and it's time for Lefties losing it. Let's
19:58
Speaker 3: start the program hearing from a tolerant, loving and inclusive
20:03
Speaker 3: lefty who is calling on her fellow lefties to what
20:08
Speaker 3: should their political opponents. No, really, that's what she's saying.
20:12
Speaker 3: And yes she's got those crazy eyes.
20:16
Speaker 16: Okay, guys, So I would like to start a new
20:18
Speaker 16: movement called Sea Maga Maga because people like that respond
20:24
Speaker 16: to fear and terror and aggression, not logic and empathy.
20:30
Speaker 16: And I don't know intelligence, it doesn't work for them,
20:34
Speaker 16: So that fear works.
20:35
Speaker 5: So if we all get our guns and use our
20:38
Speaker 5: Second Amendment rate and our common sense.
20:40
Speaker 4: At this point, this administration is begging us to rise
20:43
Speaker 4: up and rework.
20:44
Speaker 5: And you see somebody with a magaht give you.
20:47
Speaker 14: That's what we do.
20:50
Speaker 3: Just imagine the echo chamber, this lunatic existing that she
20:55
Speaker 3: thought it was a good idea to say this, to
20:58
Speaker 3: tape this, and then put it on the.
21:01
Speaker 5: Sway, put them back in their basements and make them
21:05
Speaker 5: scared again to be Greci's home for make a terrible,
21:08
Speaker 5: just awful piece, because.
21:10
Speaker 8: I would may rather an ex emigance and manga people.
21:13
Speaker 5: Maga people deserve to be terrified and scared to walk
21:15
Speaker 5: in the streets because they should know that real Americans
21:18
Speaker 5: are going.
21:18
Speaker 4: To kill them.
21:21
Speaker 3: And if you thought that was bad, she's now doubled
21:24
Speaker 3: down and is singing.
21:26
Speaker 4: Her death threats.
21:28
Speaker 3: I really think it's time to reopen the asylums, all
21:32
Speaker 3: of them.
21:32
Speaker 7: See Naga pew Pu Mega, see.
21:36
Speaker 16: Lego his mother.
21:41
Speaker 7: We here to play.
21:42
Speaker 16: You can't run around them with their neighbors. You can't
21:45
Speaker 16: be a homophobic piece.
21:47
Speaker 2: You can't just be generally.
21:50
Speaker 3: I wonder if the authorities have caught up with her yet.
21:53
Speaker 3: Now I think we need to hear from the opposite
21:56
Speaker 3: of whatever that was. Here is my gal, Sarah Gonzales,
22:00
Speaker 3: and she had me worried here for just a second.
22:04
Speaker 4: Oh my god, I am literally shaking right now. I
22:06
Speaker 4: just read the news that John Bolton's home was just
22:09
Speaker 4: rated by the FBI. We knew this was going to
22:12
Speaker 4: happen at the exact same time.
22:14
Speaker 7: It was being rated.
22:15
Speaker 4: Cash Betel posted on x no one is above the law,
22:19
Speaker 4: and I just want to make one thing really clear.
22:23
Speaker 4: I voted for this a isn't she fabulous? I love
22:27
Speaker 4: her now. One of the best ways to handle lefties is.
22:31
Speaker 3: To lampoon them, mock them till they cry, and then
22:34
Speaker 3: mock them for crying.
22:36
Speaker 4: We love works of satire like this.
22:39
Speaker 13: We're gender fluid. You can only be allowed in our
22:41
Speaker 13: LGBQWSTYS community if you have pink, green, or blue hair.
22:45
Speaker 2: Turnd up for right rights?
22:47
Speaker 13: Where gender floid? When you join our community, you get
22:49
Speaker 13: a free stept in person. Stand up for your rights. Everyone,
22:53
Speaker 13: sturnd up. We're gender fluid. This tree misgendered me.
22:58
Speaker 2: It's literally jealousy.
23:00
Speaker 13: We're gender fluid. We shouted people that missgender us, even
23:03
Speaker 13: though we don't know our gender half the time.
23:04
Speaker 8: Don't not be your rights now?
23:06
Speaker 6: How did you come to mind the tea?
23:08
Speaker 4: Now?
23:09
Speaker 3: The era of the unfunny comic is almost over. You
23:13
Speaker 3: know who I mean the Hannah Gadsby types who inflict
23:16
Speaker 3: leftist lectures on their audiences rather than any laughs. That
23:20
Speaker 3: era is almost over, but not quite because look at
23:23
Speaker 3: who's being celebrated in Edinburgh. Yes it's a British comedian.
23:28
Speaker 3: You've never heard of trans comic Sam Nikresty.
23:33
Speaker 4: If only he was funny. They really think they got
23:37
Speaker 4: us nailed on sports.
23:39
Speaker 17: Look at the trans women that's so good at throwing.
23:41
Speaker 3: I've got an unfair physical.
23:42
Speaker 17: Advantage of all the old bit of sports where someone
23:46
Speaker 17: has an unfair physical advantage. That's not my scene, but
23:49
Speaker 17: is someone's born with good knees and then they win.
23:52
Speaker 17: Right If I'm in a race with you, Saint Bowl, I'm.
23:56
Speaker 4: Not standing there like, well, this is very run.
23:58
Speaker 17: Faster than me. The sports one person wine of professional
24:04
Speaker 17: sorts players are losers for a living.
24:06
Speaker 4: And I don't know who hears me say it. Yeah,
24:11
Speaker 4: that's as good as it got.
24:13
Speaker 3: And that act, that deeply unfunny therapy session won the
24:17
Speaker 3: Best Comedy show at this year's Edinburgh Fridge.
24:21
Speaker 17: It's not just a gender thing, because believe me, if
24:23
Speaker 17: I started playing women's rugby, those.
24:25
Speaker 11: Women would snap my spine.
24:28
Speaker 17: The subtext of these arguments when it comes to trans
24:31
Speaker 17: women is always the same. Men are pretending to be
24:34
Speaker 17: women in order to invade female only spaces, sports, prisons,
24:39
Speaker 17: toilets lush, always the same. Don't get why like hack
24:43
Speaker 17: comedians hate them so much, take into the airwaves to
24:47
Speaker 17: express that approbrium of the gender neutral toilet brigade. I
24:50
Speaker 17: for hack comedians would love gender neutral toilets.
24:54
Speaker 3: That as funny as an ingrown tone. Now, now let's
24:58
Speaker 3: check in on the Democrat that's in the Great State
25:01
Speaker 3: of Florida.
25:02
Speaker 4: This next rep is.
25:03
Speaker 3: Having a little meltdown because Governor Ron de sand has
25:07
Speaker 3: painted over a rainbow crossing and made it look.
25:11
Speaker 4: Like an actual crossing.
25:14
Speaker 14: Here everyone is representative on a Viesquimani and I'm here
25:16
Speaker 14: right now at the Pulse Rainbow Crosswalk. That after thought
25:20
Speaker 14: was appropriate to sneak into our community in the middle
25:22
Speaker 14: of the night and to totally erase who decided it
25:26
Speaker 14: was appropriate to a rese and it's higher community here
25:30
Speaker 14: in Orlando. We're not gonna let it stand. Read everything
25:34
Speaker 14: we can to restore this crosswater, but also fight back
25:36
Speaker 14: against the extremism coming out of both cit of Florida
25:40
Speaker 14: and the White House.
25:41
Speaker 4: Now, there is a divide in America.
25:43
Speaker 3: It's a divide between the cities and smaller towns, as
25:46
Speaker 3: a divide between blue and red states and cities.
25:49
Speaker 4: If you want to see.
25:51
Speaker 3: Real America, then forget about la in San Francisco and
25:54
Speaker 3: New York. Head south for a road trip through places
25:58
Speaker 3: like Texas, Tennessee, and flo Florida.
26:00
Speaker 4: It's a different country.
26:02
Speaker 3: It's practically a different world, a better one. And that's
26:06
Speaker 3: why so many New Yorkers and Californians and other Blue
26:09
Speaker 3: state dwellers are fleeing to the Red states. And here
26:13
Speaker 3: Florida Governor Ron DeSantis explains his full proof political strategy.
26:19
Speaker 7: I actually do have a cheat code to be governor
26:21
Speaker 7: of Florida. I just look at what California and Illinois,
26:25
Speaker 7: New York, but particularly California. I look what they're doing,
26:28
Speaker 7: and I just do the opposite, and that works out
26:30
Speaker 7: very well. They allow homeless to take over major cities.
26:35
Speaker 7: We don't do that in Florida. They are a sanctuary state.
26:38
Speaker 7: They give illegal aliens benefits and invite them in. We
26:42
Speaker 7: do the opposite.
26:43
Speaker 3: But, as Ron de Santus explains, the lunacy and reckless
26:47
Speaker 3: leftist policies of blue states still impact the whole country.
26:51
Speaker 7: They issued a commercial driver's license to an illegal alien
26:56
Speaker 7: who didn't speak English, worked for a California company, and
27:00
Speaker 7: he ended up killing three people in Florida recently, and
27:04
Speaker 7: we're now holding him accountable. But their policies are not
27:07
Speaker 7: only been bad for California, they are spilling over into
27:11
Speaker 7: other states and has been very, very destructive.
27:14
Speaker 3: Joining me now is Newsweek Senior Editor at Large and
27:17
Speaker 3: Article three Projects Senior Council Josh Hammer. Josh, you're one
27:21
Speaker 3: of the millions of Americans who in recent years has
27:24
Speaker 3: moved south, moved to a red state. Tell me about
27:28
Speaker 3: the two Americas and why you made the decision to move.
27:33
Speaker 8: Yeah, so I've actually lived in multiple of America's iconic
27:36
Speaker 8: read states. I've been in Florida now for four years. Actually,
27:39
Speaker 8: my Florida versary is actually this very weeks. I've been
27:42
Speaker 8: here for four years. I actually altered four. I did
27:44
Speaker 8: a four year stint in Texas as well. So I've
27:46
Speaker 8: actually lived a number of years now in America's two
27:49
Speaker 8: iconic red states. I was actually also born in New
27:51
Speaker 8: York State. I went to law school in Chicago, lived
27:54
Speaker 8: in Washingt, d C. So I've really seen I've really
27:56
Speaker 8: seen both extremest. I can boil it down to to
28:00
Speaker 8: I think a very simple dichotomy, which is that life
28:03
Speaker 8: is easy in red states, life is harder in blue states.
28:07
Speaker 8: You are taxed more in blue states. You have to
28:10
Speaker 8: turn around behind your back when you're walking in the
28:12
Speaker 8: urban streets in blue states because you don't know what
28:14
Speaker 8: kind of criminal or what kind of illegal alien is
28:17
Speaker 8: going to come there. I actually learned this the hard
28:19
Speaker 8: way yet again. Just a few years ago, I was
28:22
Speaker 8: taking my then girlfriend now my wife to Chicago. It
28:24
Speaker 8: was our first time ever visiting. There was kind of
28:26
Speaker 8: a law school union thing for me. Her luxury purse
28:30
Speaker 8: was stolen in broad Daylight in Streeterville, which is actually
28:33
Speaker 8: one of the most well to do neighborhoods in all
28:35
Speaker 8: of Chicago. This is not kind of south side Chicago.
28:38
Speaker 8: This is not Southwest Chicago. This is not gang banging violence.
28:42
Speaker 8: This is like real kind of like wealthy inner city
28:45
Speaker 8: downtown Chicago, like like Professor's academics live there there, you know,
28:50
Speaker 8: in Washington, d C. I mean, my goodness, gracious read,
28:52
Speaker 8: I've basically cut down my visits to DC in part,
28:56
Speaker 8: at least until Trump's craft, and I was trying to
28:58
Speaker 8: limit my visits because it's just not as pleasant a
29:00
Speaker 8: place to be anymore there. But on the other side,
29:02
Speaker 8: when I was living in Greg Gabbett's Texas, and certainly
29:05
Speaker 8: now in Ron the Santa's Is Florida, there life is
29:08
Speaker 8: just a breeze there. I mean, the homeless situation there.
29:11
Speaker 8: We barely notice it here in South Florida. We obviously
29:14
Speaker 8: are a tax exceedingly low there, and government fundamentally is
29:16
Speaker 8: out to just make your life easier. That really, I think,
29:19
Speaker 8: is how I get some of the difference. Life harder
29:21
Speaker 8: Blue states, life easier Red states. And by the way,
29:23
Speaker 8: the dsceniel US Census shows very clear that all sorts
29:27
Speaker 8: of people are doing exactly what I did. The major
29:29
Speaker 8: blue states California and New York, Illinois, Connecticut, New Jersey,
29:32
Speaker 8: they're all hemburaging citizens. They're all flocking to Texas, Tennessee, Arizona,
29:36
Speaker 8: North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida of course as well there.
29:40
Speaker 8: So the stats don't lie as they say as well.
29:44
Speaker 3: They don't, but sometimes they bring their politics. Josh, and
29:47
Speaker 3: I think you only have to look at Austin, Texas
29:49
Speaker 3: to say that, because I don't know, that doesn't feel
29:53
Speaker 3: like Texas any morning time i'm there.
29:54
Speaker 4: It feels a little bit California to me. You see the.
29:57
Speaker 3: Homelessness like you don't see in other parts of Texas.
30:00
Speaker 3: You see general decay and all sorts of other unpleasantness. Now,
30:05
Speaker 3: let's talk about the raid on the home of former
30:08
Speaker 3: National Security advisor John Bolton.
30:11
Speaker 4: That would be this character.
30:13
Speaker 7: One doesn't have to be brilliant to attempt a coup.
30:17
Speaker 16: I disagree with that as somebody who has helped plan
30:19
Speaker 16: coup d'eta not here, but you know, other places.
30:25
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, okay, Josh, tell me about this rate. It
30:28
Speaker 3: appears that it's not just over the classified information that
30:33
Speaker 3: may or may not be in his book or the
30:35
Speaker 3: classified documents he.
30:37
Speaker 4: May have sent to family members.
30:39
Speaker 3: It may also be connected to any role he played
30:42
Speaker 3: in the Russian collusion hoax. Yeah.
30:46
Speaker 8: So, first of all, reader, I mean, what an amazing
30:48
Speaker 8: clip that was. I mean, this has been around for
30:50
Speaker 8: a few years, but John Bolton just literally saying like, yeah,
30:52
Speaker 8: I've actually helped plan cudtas in other countries there, I
30:56
Speaker 8: have helped plan your color revolutions. There I mean, I mean,
30:59
Speaker 8: this is basically the encapsulation. This is the personification of
31:03
Speaker 8: the neo conservative foreign policy that the entire Trump movement
31:06
Speaker 8: utterly just tass and fundamentally rejects. And because John Bolton
31:10
Speaker 8: Donald Trump simply do not see it die on these issues.
31:13
Speaker 8: Ever since he was fired as National Security Advisor back
31:15
Speaker 8: during the first Trump term, he has been on a
31:17
Speaker 8: sustained now basically six year long bender where he basically
31:21
Speaker 8: just goes on cable news, he goes to the to
31:23
Speaker 8: the tabloids, the broadsheets, whoever will publish him or take
31:27
Speaker 8: his quotations, and just trashes Donald Trump from A to Z.
31:30
Speaker 8: And part of that has been a long standing, very
31:33
Speaker 8: very strong, i would say, close to ubiquitous, sneaking suspicion
31:37
Speaker 8: that John Bolton is laundering classmen information that he still
31:41
Speaker 8: has retained from his time as National Security Advisor in
31:43
Speaker 8: attempt to just be smirched and then undermine Donald Trump
31:47
Speaker 8: by any means necessary. Now, it's interesting Rita, As the
31:50
Speaker 8: New York Posts among others, reported, there there actually was
31:53
Speaker 8: in the final days of the first trum Trump ministration
31:56
Speaker 8: in twenty twenty potential attempt to do something similar to
31:59
Speaker 8: John Bolton at that time, to try to make sure
32:01
Speaker 8: go into his home, see what he was doing there.
32:02
Speaker 8: Was he actually leaky? Was he not? And then the
32:04
Speaker 8: transition happened, very chaotic transition January sixth, all that Biden
32:08
Speaker 8: comes in and the Biden DOJ and the Biden FBI
32:12
Speaker 8: spike it. So the Biden DOJ actually spiked this planned
32:15
Speaker 8: rate of this plan investigation, just trying to cover for
32:17
Speaker 8: John Bolton for the very simple reason that he's now
32:19
Speaker 8: vehementally empty Trump. So look fundamentally, Riata, I will say this,
32:23
Speaker 8: I have not seen the surch Warrens. No American other
32:25
Speaker 8: than law enforcement, the magistrate judge has seen the search
32:27
Speaker 8: warrant there. I feel extremely confident that there is no
32:31
Speaker 8: worlds in which Pam bonded the Attorney General in cash Matelo,
32:34
Speaker 8: the FBI director. There is no world what so freaking
32:38
Speaker 8: ever where they would have ordered this raid unless they
32:40
Speaker 8: had the goods there. So I feel pretty confident that
32:42
Speaker 8: we're going to learn a lot more about this than
32:44
Speaker 8: the week I had there, And I would be I
32:45
Speaker 8: would just try to lawyer up frankly, if I were
32:47
Speaker 8: John Bolton right now.
32:50
Speaker 3: Yep, there's got to be accountability, and as we are
32:53
Speaker 3: fond of saying, no one is.
32:55
Speaker 4: Above the law.
32:56
Speaker 3: But the leftist media is painting this as some sort
32:59
Speaker 3: of surely political exercises. The same media who couldn't detect
33:04
Speaker 3: the political persecution of Donald Trump and the law fair
33:08
Speaker 3: that was waged against him, his family and some of
33:11
Speaker 3: his closest supporters. I want to bring to your attention
33:14
Speaker 3: this from the Washington Post because that can see nothing
33:18
Speaker 3: but political interference. The Washington Post editorial board wrote, it
33:23
Speaker 3: is a valid fear that the case against John Bolton
33:27
Speaker 3: is a fresh instance of the old Soviet saying show
33:31
Speaker 3: me the man and I'll show you the crime. Josh,
33:34
Speaker 3: what's your response to that? We literally had an attorney
33:38
Speaker 3: general campaigning on a Get Trump ticket, but apparently a
33:43
Speaker 3: warmonger and serial leaker like John Bolton is beyond scrutiny.
33:50
Speaker 8: Yeah, reader Marais Bonston Washington Post is very simple, which
33:52
Speaker 8: is frankly, just go to hell. I mean, like, whoever
33:55
Speaker 8: wrote those words should be fired, I mean literally fired
33:59
Speaker 8: at best, I mean tard and feathered. Maybe back in
34:01
Speaker 8: the day would have been a more appropriate punishment there.
34:03
Speaker 8: I mean, where the hell have you people? Din, I mean,
34:07
Speaker 8: as you accurately say. Tiss James, the Attorney General of
34:10
Speaker 8: New York State, literally traversed the entire state of New
34:13
Speaker 8: York back in twenty eighteen, saying, if you elect me
34:16
Speaker 8: as attorney general of your state, when the nation's largest state,
34:20
Speaker 8: I will do whatever it takes, by any means necessary,
34:23
Speaker 8: to sue and to prosecute and to bankrupt Donald Trump
34:26
Speaker 8: and the Trump organization. There. You know, back in English
34:29
Speaker 8: common law, we would have called this a bill of
34:31
Speaker 8: a tanger, which is an illegitimate piece of legislation, or
34:34
Speaker 8: in this case, a campaign stump promise to single out
34:38
Speaker 8: a named party, not a neutral thing. There. But I mean,
34:40
Speaker 8: how about so called special counsel Jack Smith. By the way,
34:43
Speaker 8: I call him so called still to this day, because
34:45
Speaker 8: he's actually not a legitimate special council. Hold that aside,
34:48
Speaker 8: you know, Merrick Garland, Jack Smith, are you kidding me
34:51
Speaker 8: right now? I mean, show me the man. I will
34:53
Speaker 8: find you. The crime Alvin Bragg in New York City,
34:56
Speaker 8: the Stormy Daniels Michael Cullins suit, the stupid attempt to
35:00
Speaker 8: to try to fabricate an alter at the beginning of
35:03
Speaker 8: the tolling and the statue of limitations to account for
35:06
Speaker 8: this New York State corporate bookkeeping fraudulent crap from twenty sixteen.
35:11
Speaker 8: Give me a break, reader, These people have no leg
35:14
Speaker 8: to stand done whatsoever. It is ludicrous, it is shameful. Unfortunately,
35:17
Speaker 8: it's part of the course for the Washington Compost these days.
35:22
Speaker 3: It is, and sadly much of the coverage we're getting
35:25
Speaker 3: in this country follows that because they just basically regurgitate
35:29
Speaker 3: MSNBC talking points. Now, Donald Trump did have another huge
35:34
Speaker 3: win late last week with one of the law fare
35:37
Speaker 3: cases against him collapsing. Josh. This was again another absurd
35:43
Speaker 3: case from the start. It was a political hig job
35:46
Speaker 3: carried out by Letitia James and a partisan New York judge.
35:49
Speaker 4: It was a judge only trial.
35:51
Speaker 3: No jury, and Josh New York Appeals Court last week
35:55
Speaker 3: dismissed the five hundred million dollar civil fraud penalty. Tell
35:59
Speaker 3: me about this really threatened Donald Trump's empire. It could
36:04
Speaker 3: have bankrupted him and would have impacted his children. It
36:08
Speaker 3: was again on its face absurd, but he was facing
36:12
Speaker 3: this five hundred million dollar payoff.
36:15
Speaker 8: So Rita, it's very easy to forget about all the
36:18
Speaker 8: various tentacles of the democratic lawfare complex. So Jack Smith,
36:22
Speaker 8: the Federal Special Council had these two cases, one in Washington,
36:25
Speaker 8: DC for January sixth, one in Florida. That's the Marrow
36:28
Speaker 8: Lago classified documents. Then you had Fannie Willis in Fulton County, Georgia.
36:32
Speaker 8: She was the local Georgia prosecutor doing a similar kind
36:35
Speaker 8: of January six ish related prosecution there. Then you had
36:38
Speaker 8: Alvin Bragg in New York City, who we were just
36:40
Speaker 8: talking about with Michael Cohen Stormy Daniels, this stupid hush
36:43
Speaker 8: pinny painting thing. And then you had Tiss James, the
36:45
Speaker 8: Attorneian General of New York State, who filed technically a
36:49
Speaker 8: civil lawsuit but kind of very much looks and feels
36:52
Speaker 8: like an active prosecution there. And her basic theory of
36:55
Speaker 8: the case, if you could even call it a case,
36:57
Speaker 8: was that the Trump organization, through Donald Trump, Eric Trump,
37:01
Speaker 8: Donald Trump Junior, and the other executives and officers of
37:04
Speaker 8: the organization there, that they essentially kind of fibbed the
37:07
Speaker 8: numbers a little bit on their applications for bank loans
37:10
Speaker 8: in order to secure interest rates anymore a failed break.
37:12
Speaker 8: First of all, I have news for Tiss James. Literally
37:16
Speaker 8: every person I've ever spoken to who is who's done
37:18
Speaker 8: this has done something similar. There is apparently a pervative
37:22
Speaker 8: practice to the point of ubiquity, and frankly financial intitutions expected.
37:26
Speaker 8: But the more important point is this rita, which is
37:27
Speaker 8: that the Trump organization, whatever they were calling certain assets,
37:32
Speaker 8: whether they were subjectively appraised. One we're talking here about
37:36
Speaker 8: investment banks like Deutsche Bank, bulge Brack investment banks, do
37:39
Speaker 8: your own appraisal work, first of all, Second of all,
37:42
Speaker 8: more for the point, the most important point of all,
37:44
Speaker 8: they were happy to do business with a Trump organization.
37:46
Speaker 8: In fact, Deutsche Bank the number one financial institution intermediary
37:50
Speaker 8: that was at issue in this case. There rita. They
37:52
Speaker 8: literally wanted to do more business with a Trump organization.
37:55
Speaker 8: There was no victim here, There was literally no victim,
37:58
Speaker 8: but that didn't stop Justice Arthuring Goron from slapping a
38:02
Speaker 8: five hundred million dollars approximately penalty. There so just completely
38:08
Speaker 8: or willion stuff. But by the way, this case, as
38:11
Speaker 8: a New York native, this case was not just about
38:13
Speaker 8: the Trump organization. If this penalty had stuck, if this
38:16
Speaker 8: penalty had stuck read up, that would have sent the
38:18
Speaker 8: most chilling signal imaginable to real estate, to investors, to
38:23
Speaker 8: venture capitals. Why would you go start a business in
38:26
Speaker 8: New York State if the Attorney General can say that
38:28
Speaker 8: you are poking the books a little bit, even though
38:29
Speaker 8: they want to give you a loan anyway, and then
38:31
Speaker 8: all of a sudden you're out half a billion dollars.
38:33
Speaker 8: But unfortunately, with the seeming election coming very soon of
38:37
Speaker 8: Zora Mamdani, I think New York are probably going to
38:39
Speaker 8: get it one way or the other. Unfortunate.
38:43
Speaker 3: And the value that they have scribed to Mara Lago
38:47
Speaker 3: again absurd.
38:48
Speaker 4: I mean from over.
38:50
Speaker 3: Here in Australia, I could look at similar properties that
38:54
Speaker 3: have got that sort of price and you would not
38:56
Speaker 3: get at one hundredth of mari A Lago for that
38:59
Speaker 3: price alone. The whole thing. I mean, it was crazy.
39:02
Speaker 3: Now we've got another company being accused of going woke, Josha,
39:08
Speaker 3: perhaps going broke, well, if not broke, they've seen their
39:11
Speaker 3: share price plummet fairly traumatic that this is cracker Barrel
39:16
Speaker 3: and their share price dived over a rebrand. Tell me
39:20
Speaker 3: why this is so many people upset? And the manner
39:24
Speaker 3: in which woke is now becoming a risk factor.
39:29
Speaker 8: So read a Cracker Barrel is an iconic Southern restaurant
39:32
Speaker 8: chain here in the United States. I know that well
39:35
Speaker 8: because I live in Texas, I said, I also went
39:38
Speaker 8: to university in North Carolina and North Carolina Tennessee, South Carolina.
39:42
Speaker 8: This is like Cracker Barrel, USA. So I know a
39:45
Speaker 8: thing or two about Crackerbewl. Cracker Barrel is my iconic
39:47
Speaker 8: Southern restaurant there with an iconic logo that is frequented
39:50
Speaker 8: by by predominantly Southern people who go for the food
39:53
Speaker 8: and also the decor. You walk into a Cracker Barrel,
39:56
Speaker 8: it's filled with all sorts of Americana and kind of
39:58
Speaker 8: hunting memorabilia and things like that. So in comes this
40:02
Speaker 8: new woke CEO, and she really is woke. I literally
40:05
Speaker 8: looked at this woman's face and my very first reaction is,
40:08
Speaker 8: why is she not co hosting an MSNBC show with
40:10
Speaker 8: Rachel Maddow. I mean this, I mean this one fundamentally
40:13
Speaker 8: belongs either on MSNBC or in the Harvard Kennedy School faculty.
40:16
Speaker 12: Low.
40:17
Speaker 8: She has no business whatsoever running a business that predominantly
40:20
Speaker 8: caters to Southern Americans. There and the giveaway Rita is
40:25
Speaker 8: that the CEO when she unveiled this policy to get
40:28
Speaker 8: rid of the old iconic logo and bringing this kind
40:31
Speaker 8: of neuter and water down crap whatever this is there,
40:35
Speaker 8: she did that announcement, not in Nashville, Tennessee, not in
40:38
Speaker 8: Raleigh during North Carolina. In New York City. Do you
40:41
Speaker 8: know how many Cracker Bower restaurants are in New York City?
40:44
Speaker 7: Zero?
40:45
Speaker 8: There is literally not a single craper Bowl restaurants in
40:48
Speaker 8: New York City there, So that gives away the whole
40:50
Speaker 8: game there. He's trying to appease just the Wok Karate
40:53
Speaker 8: and not her actual own customers. Unfortunately, just like bud Light,
40:56
Speaker 8: Target all these other companies there, she's going to learn
40:59
Speaker 8: that the customer is always right. The customers are going
41:01
Speaker 8: to make her pay for this, I think.
41:04
Speaker 3: Josh Hamma, thank you so much for your time tonight.
41:07
Speaker 3: Thank you still to come. Why Tennis great Serena Williams
41:11
Speaker 3: is under attack from feminist Kinsey Schofield has the details.
41:26
Speaker 4: Welcome back. Joining me now is celebrity and.
41:28
Speaker 3: Royal commentator Kinsey's Schofield Kinsey Royal expert Richard fitzwilliam is
41:34
Speaker 3: speaking about Meghan Markel struggling to convince a list of
41:39
Speaker 3: talent to appear on her cooking show, even though the
41:42
Speaker 3: list of Meghan so called friends who attended her wedding
41:45
Speaker 3: to Prince Harry, well, that was quite extensive and amazing.
41:50
Speaker 3: So why are these a listers gone cold on Meghan?
41:55
Speaker 4: She's not a very popular character.
41:57
Speaker 18: I mean, this lineup is really unacceptable when you cannsider
42:00
Speaker 18: the fact that Megan is allegedly still signed to one
42:03
Speaker 18: of Hollywood's top talent agencies, William Morris Endeavor. Why can't
42:08
Speaker 18: her agents call in some favors to some of their
42:10
Speaker 18: other clients. I think for this particular show to rebrand herself,
42:15
Speaker 18: she's missing somebody like Nicki Glazer or Whitney Cummings or
42:19
Speaker 18: Chelsea Handler to poke fun at her and make her
42:22
Speaker 18: seem less overbearing and boring. Someone may be silly and
42:25
Speaker 18: self depreciating, like Kristen Bell, but her lack of star
42:29
Speaker 18: power really reflects the lack of general interest for her
42:32
Speaker 18: here in la There.
42:36
Speaker 4: Is no chance she would be up for that.
42:39
Speaker 3: There would be no chance that she would ever submit
42:42
Speaker 3: to any sort of roasting like that. I mean, she's
42:44
Speaker 3: so self important you'd remember from that first series how
42:48
Speaker 3: she corrected was a mindy about Oh no, no, that's
42:52
Speaker 3: not actually my surname. My surname isn't markl anymore. You know,
42:57
Speaker 3: she thinks she's a.
42:58
Speaker 4: Queen, she does.
43:02
Speaker 18: You know, I think that when it comes to la talent,
43:04
Speaker 18: you want to be attached to winners, and Harry and
43:06
Speaker 18: Meghan have developed a reputation for being inconsistent, not winning,
43:10
Speaker 18: And like you said, she takes herself so seriously. It's
43:12
Speaker 18: Megan Sussex now.
43:16
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, and she's the busiest person in the Hollywood now.
43:20
Speaker 3: Jeffrey Epstein's accomplice Gilly Maxwell, has claimed Princess Diana may
43:26
Speaker 3: have been set up.
43:27
Speaker 4: As a date for Jeffrey Epstein.
43:29
Speaker 3: This is in testimony that has now been made public.
43:33
Speaker 4: What more can you tell me about this?
43:35
Speaker 18: So, when she was asked about Epstein's allegling to the
43:38
Speaker 18: late Princess Diana, Maxwell so that they first met in
43:41
Speaker 18: the nineteen nineties at a party hosted by Baroness Rosa Mackden,
43:46
Speaker 18: one of Diana's closest friends, and she added, I don't
43:49
Speaker 18: know if she was being set up as a date
43:51
Speaker 18: for him. Maybe she was, but she wanted to make
43:55
Speaker 18: sure that she didn't criticize Diana, because she said, I'm
43:58
Speaker 18: not going to do that. I'm not going to talk
44:00
Speaker 18: negatively about her. I think that this whole story is
44:04
Speaker 18: very strange. Epstein specifically told Glean there are pictures of
44:08
Speaker 18: them together. Diana was the most photographed woman in the world.
44:11
Speaker 18: I can't find these images anywhere. But what I will
44:15
Speaker 18: say is Glene is still insisting that she did not
44:18
Speaker 18: introduce Prince Andrew, who was accused of sexual abuse, to
44:21
Speaker 18: Jeffrey Epstein, and I think that that's probably more compelling
44:26
Speaker 18: than this story, since I can't seem to find him
44:28
Speaker 18: with Princess Diana.
44:31
Speaker 3: Now Kinsey fans of slam tennis legend Serena Williams because
44:36
Speaker 3: of her use of a weight loss medication. She said
44:39
Speaker 3: in an Instagram clip that her body needed it after
44:43
Speaker 3: having two kids.
44:44
Speaker 4: But critics, well, they're having a go.
44:47
Speaker 3: One said, as an athlete and an influence, as a
44:49
Speaker 3: shame that you're reiterating the narrative that you need to
44:53
Speaker 3: take medication to be healthy and achieve an acceptable standard
44:57
Speaker 3: of beauty. This video made me real sad and disappointed.
45:02
Speaker 3: Kids say, I mean this is pretty harsh. If she
45:04
Speaker 3: wants to be skinny.
45:06
Speaker 4: Let her.
45:06
Speaker 3: Shouldn't she be applauded for being honest about how she
45:10
Speaker 3: did it?
45:12
Speaker 18: But I mean that's true, But if she's being really,
45:14
Speaker 18: really honest, she should say her husband is on the
45:16
Speaker 18: board of this company that she's getting poked by.
45:19
Speaker 4: I mean, yeah, it's.
45:20
Speaker 18: True's double dipping here. Naysayers argue that when you've got nutritionists, trainers, chefs,
45:28
Speaker 18: coaches and doctors at your disposal, turning to a weight
45:31
Speaker 18: loss shot sure looks like the easy way out. And
45:34
Speaker 18: that's one of the things she's been saying in interviews.
45:36
Speaker 18: This isn't a shortcut. I don't take shortcuts. Well, I mean,
45:39
Speaker 18: you've got a lot of help that normal people don't have.
45:42
Speaker 18: But to her supporters, it wasn't just a sponsorship. It
45:45
Speaker 18: was a signal that even Serena's legacy on the court
45:48
Speaker 18: could be overshadowed in a culture that values appearance over accomplishment.
45:52
Speaker 18: And that's you know where you have to sit back
45:54
Speaker 18: and go, well, that's something to think about. I mean,
45:57
Speaker 18: what do we value her for what she's done or
46:01
Speaker 18: what she looks like.
46:04
Speaker 3: I'm just fascinated by how many places she's injecting that drug. Also, normally,
46:10
Speaker 3: you know there's one recommended area, is it. She was
46:13
Speaker 3: putting it in an elbow in one picture that was fascinating.
46:17
Speaker 3: You're right, there is the extra layer when it comes
46:21
Speaker 3: to the husband and the endorsements. But don't forget we
46:25
Speaker 3: had someone like Oprah Winfrey, a billionaire who had all
46:28
Speaker 3: of that. She had the personal trainers, the chefs, everything,
46:32
Speaker 3: and it wasn't until the weight loss drug she was
46:34
Speaker 3: able to shift that weight the way she wanted to.
46:37
Speaker 4: Now, before you go, I've.
46:39
Speaker 3: Got to ask you about disgraced actor Justice Smullet. He
46:42
Speaker 3: is still trying to convince people that the hate crime
46:46
Speaker 3: hoax he committed wasn't really a hoax. Kids, he surely
46:50
Speaker 3: no one is buying this nonsense.
46:52
Speaker 18: Now, this is an idiotic documentary that's on Netflix. You know,
46:57
Speaker 18: later this week we're going to see the truth about
46:59
Speaker 18: Justice Smallett and Would Love Meghan next to each other,
47:02
Speaker 18: and it's just going to be so appropriate on the
47:04
Speaker 18: Netflix fund out. But yeah, the brothers who Jesse paid
47:08
Speaker 18: to do this admit that they were paid in this
47:10
Speaker 18: documentary and say that they were doing it to give
47:13
Speaker 18: Smollett a leg up in becoming an activist, Grab your
47:17
Speaker 18: bar Bag. Some of the commentators also claim that the
47:20
Speaker 18: Chicago police framed him. I just loved this one review
47:24
Speaker 18: on IMDb that said, this film feels more like a
47:27
Speaker 18: cleverly disguised pr vehicle more than an honest investigation. It
47:31
Speaker 18: really is so silly that he's going to try to
47:34
Speaker 18: talk his way out of this rita. He is guilty
47:37
Speaker 18: a sin in my opinion.
47:41
Speaker 4: Oh, he's guiltiest scene, full stop. There's no doubt about.
47:45
Speaker 3: What happened here. And he was trying to fuck he
47:47
Speaker 3: was so reckless. This is during BLM when the cities
47:51
Speaker 3: across America were already burning, They've already riots and arson
47:56
Speaker 3: and looting, and this.
47:58
Speaker 4: Is going to potentially start a race war.
48:01
Speaker 3: So for him to try to come out of this
48:02
Speaker 3: as a victim, forget about it, mate, Kinsey Schofield, thank
48:07
Speaker 3: you so much for your time tonight, and that's it
48:10
Speaker 3: for me.
48:11
Speaker 4: Up next, it's Newsnight. I'll see you at eleven tomorrow night.
