  Speaker 1: On Scarlett's Australia Leaves is the Rita Panehy Show. Good
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: evening and welcome to the Rita Panalty Show. I'm James Morrow,
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: filling in for RITA this evening. Here's what's coming up tonight.
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: Guess what more businesses are going to the wall under
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: labor and the construction sector is taking the biggest hit.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: The panel will join me to discuss this and all
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: the day's top headlines in a moment. Plus, Donald Trump
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: has reimposed a blockade of Iranian ports. Peter Jennings will
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: have the latest and how possibly Trump can get out
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: of his dilemma here. Plus from the US, Amy Horowitz
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: joins me with the latest, including Kamala Harris serving up
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: yet another word salad and Prince Harry Well, he's describing
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: his occupation as full time dad. Better than a few
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: other things I could think of. DDE dun Levy will
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: have the latest royal and entertainment news a little later
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: in the program. Oh yeah, and we haven't forgot are
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: lefties losing it? Tonight? A transgender American flees Trump for
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: Europe Polly to be mugged by reality. You're not going
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: to believe this one. But first, about thirty businesses every
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: single day are going bust under labor and have been
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: since Labor one. Government. The latest insolvency figures from Asset
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: show forty seven thousand, seven and twenty eight businesses have
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: entered insolvency since May twenty twenty two. The hardest hit
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: our construction, hospitality and retail businesses, and the construction sector
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: alone has suffered more than ten thousand insolvencies since twenty
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: twenty two. This one, we're trying to build homes and
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: it could get even worse cos Boa, the Council of
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: Small Business Organizations Australia, has warned that two hundred and
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: ten thousand small family businesses could face a higher tax
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: burden once the government's tax changes come into full effect.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: Opposition leader Angus Taylor has used these insolvency statistics to
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: attack Lever's handling of the economy. Joining me now to
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: talk about all this is Sky News contributor Proublik Sweden
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: and founder of a Ditty Media, Lisa Goddard. Lisa, let's
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: start with you. You're a small business person. Are you
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: at all surprised by these figures? And the thing that
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: I'm confused about though, is how is it that when
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: we are supposedly in a housing crisis, when we're trying
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: to build all these houses, how is it that construction
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: firms can't make money?
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: Well, it's the construction firms that we need to survive,
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: but they're the ones that are feeling the pressure. Like
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: every other small business, you've got rising and it's the
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: same list we run through all the time, rising energy costs,
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: you've got payroll, you've got wages, you've got the government
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: with a hand in your pocket every step of the way.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: And I think the great sort of canary in the
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: coal mine, if you like, of how bad small business
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: is going at the moment. The tax Office is chasing
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: them for thirty six billion dollars. So if you've already
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: got warnings that small businesses are in trouble, it's going
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: to get even harder. Forget the current reforms that are
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: changing things for them. Already they've owned thirty six billion
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: dollars because when you're tied on cash, you have to
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: then go, well, I have to keep the business going.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: So you're going to take out of that little pocket
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: of money you've got there for the tax office to
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: keep the business afloat and at the end of the day,
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: when the tax ban comes calling, you can't pay it.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: Well indeed and provexween. One of the things that strikes
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: me here about this government is the way it seems
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: to really not understand, not get I frankly, to be honest,
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: I think in their heart of hearts, they don't really
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: like small business. They don't understand why people are out
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: there trying to make for themselves where they could be
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: working for a big corporation or a big government department.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: It feels to me like they are deliberately pushing us
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: back to the old Australian settlement where big government, big
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: unions and big corporations sit down and divide the pie.
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: James.
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: It's their drive to socialism and that's what they want
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: and they're doing a bloody good job at it too.
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: And this is the problem. I mean, who would be
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: in business these days? You know, when I was paying
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: payroll tax, it was just unbelievable trying to find that money.
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: Now they've imposed this superannuation tax where you have to
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: in your cash flow find that money to pay these
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: people they're staff.
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: And then of course you have staff being allowed to
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: work from home.
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: Productivity is down, every cost is up, mainly because of
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: the insane energy policy that this government has. When you
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: think about it, energy is driving all the costs in households.
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: People are not consuming as much, they're driving the costs
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: of business. So it's just and then the ir laws
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: which are just unbelievable. Why would anyone run a business
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: these days here?
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: Well, it is just nuts both. So glad you mentioned
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: through the energy issue because energy, we know we're paying
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: some of the highest energy prices in the OECD, the
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: developed world, even though Chris Bowen keeps telling us that
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: renewables are the cheapest form of energy. Really okay, because
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: it now looks like electricity generation cost could surge by
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: more than fifty percent after twenty thirty if the government
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: wants to achieve its net zero goals. A joint report
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: by the National Science Agency CSIRO and the AEMO that's
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: the Australian Energy Market Operator, said this electricy cost fight
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: was due to the phase out of coal. Not only that,
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: the report says if we invested in more fossil fuels
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: and less renewables, electricity costs would actually come down. Who
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: would have thought that leads a god art.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: What I love about this, though, is the CSIRO have
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: always been held up there the holy grail. Every report
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: that's come out the government has been able to point to,
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: here's the argument for our green dream to continue. And
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: now they're going to have to try and explain a
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: report which says no, no, no, let's back in one nation,
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: let's back in finally kicking and screaming. What the coalition
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: have said is okay, let's keep call fired power going
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: as long as we possibly can. They have to now
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: explain that because I can no longer fall back on
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: this report because yes, as you say, it is not
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: the cheap.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: Solution, and it's not the cheap solution because we know
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: that we have the huge costs of building a second
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: and third grid not just around the cities, but also
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: out to all these crazy parts of the country through
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: mountains and bushland to try and get power in from
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: these so called renewable energy zones and New South Wales
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: and other places. It strikes me here that once you
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: start to talk about we haven't even started to talk
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: about things like the black box of the capacity investment
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: scheme and all of that. The whole labor program of
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: supposedly cheap energy is built on.
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: A lie, a lie, and a hoax.
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: And this is where it's so terrifying and the definition
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: of insanity. Where you have a country that hardly omits
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: anything when you look at the global emissions, absolutely nothing, virtually.
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: So we are penalizing every person.
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: Whether they running a business or a household in this
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: country with these insane prices that we're now imposing. We're
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: decimating the environment to save the environment creating this. Plus,
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: of course Bowen will not reveal what it's costing. We
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: all know that this government has been subsidizing renewable scam
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: artists for years and continue to do so, hide it
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: from all of us, and yet have the hide to
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: say that we can't afford uranium. For God's sake, nuclear
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: is the way to go if we're really concerned about
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: the environment. And yet we have this resource rich company
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: country that is denying the fact, denying their residents and
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: their businesses from this cheap power.
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: Whole uranium.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: This is the thing we should be so rich as
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: a country. We know cheap energy is the way that
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: we get rich as a country. We have so much
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: of it. We've just told India that you can have
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: our uranium, but apparently you know it's affordable for India,
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: but somehow not affordable for Australia. Guys, this doesn't make sense,
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: But you know there's a lot more that doesn't make
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: sense here, A bit of a gender identity story here.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: I mean, I can't believe we're still doing this in
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty six, but parents have been urged to swap
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: terms for human first language. British YouTuber and mother of
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: three Jessica Keligrin Fozzard told her subscribers that parents should
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: replace good girl and brave boy with language that describes
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: children's actions rather than their gender identity. LEAs look, as
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: I said at the start of this question, I cannot
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: believe that it's twenty twenty six and we're still having
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: these conversations.
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: But this is the same parents that are allowing chest feeding,
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: not breastfeeding. So it's just going to go down the chain, really,
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: isn't it. It's outrageous. As parents, you have bigger things
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: to worry about them, whether you can or cannot say
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: or somehow psychologically harming or influencing your child by saying
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: good girl or brave boys they're moving into this. The
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: ideology is being pushed further and further into family. But goodness,
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: let parents parent. We know what's best for our kids.
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: We don't need to be told what language we can use.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: Well, I think there's more to this too prove, because
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: I'm sure that this person, this youtubeer in the UK,
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: is what Vladimir Lenin would have called a useful idiot.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: They don't know what they're doing, but we do know
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: that it is a Marxist thing to try and disconnect
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: people from their families, disconnect them from reality, so that
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: they can rewrite a whole new story. It seems very
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: sinus when little kids, little children know what a boy
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: and a girl is and they can identify it, and
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: when you know it's a boy or it's a girl.
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: Is what people have been seeing the moment of baby
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: has been born for thousands upon thousands of years, that
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: we are trying to tear away this foundation, this fundamental
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: boring too reality.
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: Well almost dehumanizing them, you know. I mean, when you
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: think about it, women like this influencer should actually have
• 10:28
  Speaker 4: her children taken away from her, I believe, because she's
• 10:31
  Speaker 4: a danger to these kids. And when you think about also,
• 10:35
  Speaker 4: and now I think if I had kids, young kids,
• 10:38
  Speaker 4: I would think twice about sending to a school. Now,
• 10:42
  Speaker 4: this brainwashing, this dehumanization is happening everywhere we look by
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: these bureaucracies of I don't know that have been invaded
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: by socialist weirdos, and they all have an agenda and
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: of control and taking control all away from parents to
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: the greater what government, I don't know whatever it is,
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: but all I can say is parents, do you need
• 11:09
  Speaker 4: to protect your children so much from this kind of
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: stuff and really push back against it.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: It's really dangerous, It is so sinister, and it gives
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: I think it's just really about unmooring us from reality
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: so that nobody knows what anything is, so that these
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: people on the left can create a whole new truth.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: What's about another issue too tonight there's been some concerning
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: data from the ABS which showed and I thought we
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: said taxes to stop this from happening, but Australians are
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: now consuming forty percent more nicotine to the end of
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty five than they were just eight years ago.
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: In twenty seventeen. In the past financial year, New South
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: Wales authorities seized twenty million, twenty point five million illegal
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: cigarettes and two hundred and fourteen thousand illegal vaping products. Again,
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: this is this whole thing around. You know, we've set
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: the excise tax for a pack of smoke so high,
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: you've got organized crime in there. Why can't the government
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: simply say, you know, eighty bucks for a pack at
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: Darts is too much, We'll charge your forty and you know,
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: we get some more money. You're still discouraged from smoking,
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: but if you're a smoker, it's pretty inelastic anyway.
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: Well, you've got tax policy, but then you've got health policy.
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: And it's the health policy that is really copying it
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: in the neck on this one. Because back in the day,
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: I remember the every cigarette is doing your damage. They're
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: going to have to bring back campaigns like that because
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: you've got this whole next generation coming through thinking it's
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: okay and what they're doing. And I've spoken to people
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: who are having, you know, the packet of cigarettes delivered
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: every Monday in the mail for ten or eleven dollars.
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: So that's what the that's the industry the government have
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: created by just being solely focused on this ex scise.
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: Well, it's really interesting to be too prue because you know,
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: pretty much every young person I now I know, you know,
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: is smoking, you're veeping, which is really interesting. It is
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: twenty years ago it wasn't like that, But is this
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: is alcohol going to be the next thing where organized
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: crime starts to target and we start to see, you know,
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: prohibition style kind of fights over our culture of just
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: as we've been seeing around tobacco. Because we're so addicted
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: to ridiculously high exercise taxes. You know, file of spirits
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: here is twice as much as it is see in
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: the United States.
• 13:23
  Speaker 4: It could very well happen. You know, this is the
• 13:25
  Speaker 4: thing now with this whole health campaign. I agree with
• 13:29
  Speaker 4: Lisa that we need to target a new generation. But
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: the problem is I think that those that are fully
• 13:35
  Speaker 4: hooked and do not observe what you know, do not care,
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: and are driven by that cheaper price. I think we
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: need to impose a tax on them to pay for
• 13:46
  Speaker 4: their own health issues that are going to ensue in ten, twenty, thirty,
• 13:51
  Speaker 4: forty years.
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: You know, we have this.
• 13:53
  Speaker 4: Ridiculous system where we have people who have been we
• 13:58
  Speaker 4: spend millions and millions of dollars on health campaigns.
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: People ignore it.
• 14:02
  Speaker 4: And yet find themselves then relying on the health system.
• 14:06
  Speaker 4: So maybe we need to have a whole relook. It's
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: a sort of radical idea, but you know, do we
• 14:12
  Speaker 4: all deserve to have the taxpayer paying for our ills
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: when we have been so derelict in our health management
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: in the previously.
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 14:23
  Speaker 4: It's a crazy idea, I know, but I just think that,
• 14:27
  Speaker 4: you know, the greed of the government, the fact that
• 14:30
  Speaker 4: they rely so much on tax They're not going to
• 14:33
  Speaker 4: change his exercise.
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: They just can't afford to.
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: Well, but if they've changed me, lord, they'd probably get
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: more money. That's with them.
• 14:38
  Speaker 5: With the buddetbilder will that will they?
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: Anyway, We got to leave it there, guys, Liza got
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: our approved. Thank you so much joining me well. The
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: US military says it has reimposed its blockade of Iranian
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: ports in response to Iran's attacks on ships in the
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: Strait of War. Mus. US Central Commands said there were
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: currently more than twenty US Navy warships and hundreds of
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: military aircraft operating across the Middle East. US President Donald
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: Trump has also announced the end of his plan to
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: charge a twenty percent fee for commercial ships transiting the
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: strait of horror moves. Joining me now to unpack all
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: of this and where do we go from here? Is
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: Sky News Defense analyst Peter Jennings. Peter, great to have
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: you here, Lovely to chat again, James. We're in a
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: very sort of interesting position here, to say the least.
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: Here it feels a bit like Donald Trump and the
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: United States have kind of snookerd themselves in this situation
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: in Iran. You've written a very good piece in the
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: Australian charting away forward and among the things you say,
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: they need to go harder on economics, they need to
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: bring Europeans and the American people on board here and
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: also potentially occupy Karrag Island. How confident are you that
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: the administration will take this sort of advice, given that,
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: particularly when it comes to carg Island, there seems to
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: be a real reticence about actual body bags or the
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: potential body bags. They want to do this all cleanly
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: via air well.
• 16:21
  Speaker 6: I think what Trump has learned James in the first
• 16:25
  Speaker 6: few months of this military operation is that you can't
• 16:28
  Speaker 6: do it cleanly by the air. There has to be
• 16:32
  Speaker 6: a more comprehensive campaign than that, and it needs to
• 16:35
  Speaker 6: be more than military. It's got to bring in the
• 16:37
  Speaker 6: economic dimension and the political dimension. And I have a
• 16:42
  Speaker 6: sense sort of coming out of looking at Trump's demeanor
• 16:45
  Speaker 6: in the NATO meeting in Turkey, that he now understands
• 16:49
  Speaker 6: he faces a really stark choice. He can accept defeat.
• 16:54
  Speaker 6: He'll pretend it's a victory, but he can accept defeat
• 16:56
  Speaker 6: in the sense that the Revolutionary Guard will stay in
• 16:58
  Speaker 6: power and all of those objectives of stopping their nuclear
• 17:02
  Speaker 6: campaign will really only be temporarily effective. Or the President
• 17:08
  Speaker 6: can take a choice to run what I would describe
• 17:11
  Speaker 6: as a more traditional American military campaign, which is to say,
• 17:14
  Speaker 6: bring in the allies, except that they may be a
• 17:17
  Speaker 6: need to use ground forces in some limited areas, particularly
• 17:22
  Speaker 6: Kesher Island at the top of the straight offor Moves
• 17:25
  Speaker 6: and carg Island, which is the main oil terminal. And
• 17:29
  Speaker 6: if the President's prepared to do that, he does stand
• 17:32
  Speaker 6: a chance that he can defeat the Revolutionary Guard achieve
• 17:35
  Speaker 6: regime change in Iran. But it's going to be harder, longer,
• 17:39
  Speaker 6: and tougher. So that's the president's choice, except defeat and
• 17:43
  Speaker 6: lie about it, or fight a tougher campaign. I really
• 17:47
  Speaker 6: don't know what he's going to do. But I think
• 17:49
  Speaker 6: that's the reality of the situation he faces.
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: Now, look, it's not a great choice here, because Peter,
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: if he does that first option here, fear is that
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: this looks like Afghanistan two point zero. You know, you
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: think about the chaotic pullout from Afghanistan that Joe Biden
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: presided over it, and you wind up with a second
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: massive blow to American prestige in the Middle East, in
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: a part of the world where prestige and honor for
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: lack of a better world counts for a lot.
• 18:22
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it would be much worse than Afghanistan because Afghanistan
• 18:26
  Speaker 6: wasn't attempting to become a nuclear power. Afghanistan didn't want
• 18:30
  Speaker 6: to dominate the Middle East in the way that Iran does.
• 18:34
  Speaker 6: Afghanistan wasn't a partner of China in the way that
• 18:37
  Speaker 6: Iran is. So if Trump moves away from this kind
• 18:41
  Speaker 6: of accepting a stalemate at best to defeat, I think
• 18:45
  Speaker 6: in reality, he's really telling the world that America doesn't
• 18:49
  Speaker 6: have the sticking power to put up with a determined,
• 18:52
  Speaker 6: smaller adversary, and China will take all the wrong messages
• 18:56
  Speaker 6: from that. So that's why I think as unhappy as
• 18:59
  Speaker 6: he is about out of the logic of this pushes
• 19:01
  Speaker 6: Trump in the direction of a harder campaign working with allies.
• 19:07
  Speaker 6: I think that's really the only point that he can
• 19:10
  Speaker 6: rescue his position here. And if the Americans don't like
• 19:14
  Speaker 6: the idea of military conflict in the Middle East, I'll
• 19:17
  Speaker 6: tell you there's one thing they'll like even less than that,
• 19:20
  Speaker 6: and that's being defeated in a military conflict in the
• 19:23
  Speaker 6: Middle East. So maybe Trump's challenge now is to toughen
• 19:28
  Speaker 6: up and take some better advice, think more strategically, and
• 19:32
  Speaker 6: you know, if he does those things, he can still
• 19:34
  Speaker 6: win from this position, as agonizing and painful as it's
• 19:39
  Speaker 6: going to be for him politically, and as challenging as
• 19:42
  Speaker 6: it will be to the American military.
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, certainly, getting the appearance are getting sucked
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: deeper into this conflictating into the mid terms, with all
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: of the implications for petrol prices can't be cheering him.
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: But in terms of how the oil markets have managed
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: to rewire themselves at least somewhat since this conflict again,
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: is there some hope that some of the impact if
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: that conflict, as you say, gets hotter before it gets
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: cooler that the oil markets can work around at least
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: a bit some of this.
• 20:15
  Speaker 6: I think so actually, but more in a kind of
• 20:18
  Speaker 6: a five to ten year timeframe, so that Saudi's is
• 20:22
  Speaker 6: one of the most important producers, has the opportunity to
• 20:25
  Speaker 6: actually move their oil south into terminal facilities in the
• 20:30
  Speaker 6: Red Sea. Then they have to deal with the hooties
• 20:34
  Speaker 6: on the one side of the Red Sea. But interestingly enough,
• 20:37
  Speaker 6: there's an opportunity for them to go in the other
• 20:39
  Speaker 6: direction up to an Israeli port and then over to
• 20:43
  Speaker 6: the Mediterranean. I mean, who would have thought of that?
• 20:47
  Speaker 6: And I think the Amanis have the opportunity to sort
• 20:50
  Speaker 6: of put more facilities into their country in a way
• 20:52
  Speaker 6: which doesn't force them to go through the Straits of US.
• 20:56
  Speaker 6: So yes, in time, with pipelines and different regional diplomacy,
• 21:02
  Speaker 6: there are options to see that oil and LNG move
• 21:06
  Speaker 6: in different ways that will reduce a run's potential sort
• 21:12
  Speaker 6: of lock holds over the state offul moves. But not
• 21:15
  Speaker 6: for five years, James. You know it's going to take
• 21:17
  Speaker 6: that long at least to kind of put that infrastructure
• 21:19
  Speaker 6: in place.
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: Well fair enough, Look, Peter, I think we'd never to
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: leave it there. I do hope you're right, and I
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: do hope that there is a way forward, because, of course,
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: as I've always said and you've said too, I think
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: I ran as the lynchpin for so many of the
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: problems across that part of the world. Peter Jennings, thanks
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: so much for your time. As always, my pleasure. Thanks James.
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: Still to come. Lefty is losing it, plus all the
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: layers from the US, including Kamala Harris being marked for
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: her latest word salad speech. Army Horowitz is next, and
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: now it's time for Lefty losing it. And you know,
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: sometimes things just go beyond parody. What I'm about to
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: show you is the ultimate Lefty being mugged by reality.
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: This video clip circulated by our friends that Limbs of
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: TikTok is Well, here's the deal. This American guy who
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: identifies as transgender. He went over to the Netherlands to
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: seek asylum because all the Trump stuff is too much
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: for him. But instead of finding peace, love and tolerance,
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: he's found a bunch of Arab Muslims who don't agree
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: that love wins.
• 22:40
  Speaker 7: Between here and there is a bunch of Belgerians and
• 22:42
  Speaker 7: Moroccans or whoever who think that queer people should be beaten.
• 22:45
  Speaker 7: I think that this system where you have people just
• 22:48
  Speaker 7: living out here that are unhappy, is not good.
• 22:50
  Speaker 5: Yeah. Do you think it's safe here?
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: No good?
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: See you.
• 22:54
  Speaker 7: Oh it's scary, it's it's legitimately scary. I decided that
• 22:59
  Speaker 7: my mental health is degrading so substantially being here that
• 23:03
  Speaker 7: I just need to get out. And the situation they
• 23:05
  Speaker 7: have in US as a transperson not good. Right, but
• 23:09
  Speaker 7: here I will be heard or killed.
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess Trump's America isn't looking so bad now anyway,
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: Perhaps he can spread the word back home that diversity
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: isn't necessarily our strength. Meanwhile, sticking in Europe, let's check
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: in on climate Gretlin Greta Tundberg, who's recently made a
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: pivot to the issue of Palestine. Here she is very
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: tastefully wearing a T shirt calling for intifada in Germany
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: of all places. And you know, I gotta say, I
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: guess when you drop out of school to chains the weather,
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: you don't wind up learning the history of why. That's
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: maybe not in the best of taste.
• 23:49
  Speaker 8: So we are currently outside high metallic bedding benin where
• 23:53
  Speaker 8: we are coxsting against genocide, coasting against a weapon shipment's
• 23:58
  Speaker 8: arming Israel a genocide, and behind me comrades are being
• 24:03
  Speaker 8: violently detained and arrested for ending our complicity, for protesting
• 24:08
  Speaker 8: against Germany's complicitly in genocide. Germany is one of the
• 24:11
  Speaker 8: largest weapon supplier to Israel. It is shameful that those
• 24:16
  Speaker 8: who are protesting against genocide are being repressed while the
• 24:19
  Speaker 8: real war criminals walk free and get away with mass
• 24:23
  Speaker 8: slaughtering people.
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: And can you believe that we upended the global economy
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: for this person? Good lord. Meanwhile, let's head over to
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: Michigan in the United States, where the race is on
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: to fill their Senate seat. And let me introduce Hailey Stevens,
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: who's campaigning for this seat, sounding like she's a baseball
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: coach in a nineteen thirty slapstick comedy.
• 24:46
  Speaker 9: And you better believe I'm going to be doing it
• 24:49
  Speaker 9: with a little bit of joy, a little bit of enthusiasm,
• 24:51
  Speaker 9: a little bit of energy, and a little bit of
• 24:54
  Speaker 9: sticket to them, because that's the Michigan way.
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, a little bit of sticket to them. Now, let
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: me tell you I've traveled the length and breadth of
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: the United States, And I have never once heard that
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: accent outside of Hollywood sound stage or actually maybe the
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: set of a Saturday Live skit. Ryan.
• 25:16
  Speaker 10: From what I've heard, you're using your paper not for writing,
• 25:20
  Speaker 10: but for rollin' doobies. You're gonna be doing a lot
• 25:25
  Speaker 10: of dooby rolling when you're living in.
• 25:28
  Speaker 5: A van down by the river.
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: Oh God, bless that man. Hey, And speaking of Hollywood,
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: what on earth happened to Elliott Page who was just
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: delightful in that movie Juno? But now, well, this is
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: a word sound of worse than anything Kamala Harris could
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: ever come up with.
• 25:44
  Speaker 11: In terms of looking at nature as if it's some
• 25:47
  Speaker 11: sort of cis. Heteropatriarchal structure is absurd, and that this
• 25:52
  Speaker 11: gender binary that we've created is nothing but a quaint
• 25:57
  Speaker 11: little mess. And I think you know her work and
• 26:01
  Speaker 11: this documentary really really shows that what we have been
• 26:05
  Speaker 11: taught in school in regards to these structures, men being superior,
• 26:11
  Speaker 11: women being inferior, you know, submissive or what have you it?
• 26:16
  Speaker 11: Being this yes, heterosexual existence is just completely false.
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, I'm gonna have to go put that
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: into Google translate. Sometimes. Well, former Vice President Kamala Harris
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: has been mocked for her latest word salad serving. This
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: time she was serving it up to the WNBA's Los
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: Angeles sparks.
• 26:39
  Speaker 12: Have a look, young girls, boys, people of every gender, background, race,
• 26:45
  Speaker 12: watch the WA and understand how inspiring it is. So
• 26:53
  Speaker 12: keep doing what you're doing. You guys are impacting people
• 26:57
  Speaker 12: who you may never meet. They never know your name's online,
• 27:02
  Speaker 12: but they are aware of what you are doing.
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: Yes, every gender joining me now to discuss this and
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: a whole lot more is filmmaker Amy Horowitz. Ommy, I
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: love listening to Kamla Harris because it is every platitude
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: in the book here. But she keeps popping up in
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: all of these weird sort of clips. Is there some
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: suggestion that God help us? This is? Uh? This is
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: part of a bid to have another go again for
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: the presidency?
• 27:33
  Speaker 5: How was this woman not president? I am just shocked
• 27:37
  Speaker 5: that she did not win that race. Every time I
• 27:40
  Speaker 5: see a clip, I'm like, what were we thinking not
• 27:43
  Speaker 5: electing this woman? Look, James, I don't know, is do
• 27:47
  Speaker 5: you is a bid for presidential run? Is the road
• 27:52
  Speaker 5: through the w NBA. I'm not sure that's actually true.
• 27:55
  Speaker 5: To be honest, you know, It's so my favorite Kamala
• 27:59
  Speaker 5: Harr story. As you know, there are so many. This
• 28:02
  Speaker 5: is why this one is so crazy good is that
• 28:06
  Speaker 5: you know, she had to go to a dinner party.
• 28:08
  Speaker 5: I don't know if you remember the story, James, and
• 28:10
  Speaker 5: she was so racked by nerves and didn't know how
• 28:13
  Speaker 5: to deal with regular people that she forced her aids
• 28:17
  Speaker 5: to pretend she didn't have mock soiree. I kid you not.
• 28:21
  Speaker 5: Were her aides had to pretend to be the attendees,
• 28:24
  Speaker 5: and she worked on making small talk. This is a
• 28:28
  Speaker 5: grown woman who is a who is a almost a
• 28:32
  Speaker 5: lifelong political animal. She doesn't know how to make small talk.
• 28:37
  Speaker 5: That is problematic. You know, I looked up what is
• 28:41
  Speaker 5: the type of what psychologists say about why people do
• 28:45
  Speaker 5: these word sattle talks word salad talks, and they are
• 28:48
  Speaker 5: very clear. Here here are the things they said. There
• 28:51
  Speaker 5: is poor thinking, poor analytic thinking, check, personal insecurity check,
• 28:57
  Speaker 5: and different psychiatric conditions. Okay, so yes, those are all
• 29:01
  Speaker 5: three of those things, and that's why she does the
• 29:03
  Speaker 5: word salads. You know, I did this video where I
• 29:06
  Speaker 5: actually had a word salid video prior to the election,
• 29:09
  Speaker 5: and I went to Harlem. We played a game, and
• 29:11
  Speaker 5: I said, I'm going to give you a you know,
• 29:14
  Speaker 5: a three sentences, just three or four sentences that have
• 29:16
  Speaker 5: a whole long speech of a Kamala Harris say can
• 29:19
  Speaker 5: you please explain to you what she is saying? And
• 29:21
  Speaker 5: not a single person in Harlem could tell me what
• 29:24
  Speaker 5: it was. I had just said, Okay, that's.
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: What she is like.
• 29:29
  Speaker 5: But here's the thing, James, is that I know we're
• 29:32
  Speaker 5: saying that. Initially, when the you know, the way too
• 29:36
  Speaker 5: early polls came out about who's good leading for the
• 29:39
  Speaker 5: Democratic nomination, she was up. We all poo puoted it
• 29:42
  Speaker 5: and said, oh it was just early. She just lost.
• 29:44
  Speaker 5: People are upset. Well, this is now a year and
• 29:47
  Speaker 5: a half later, and she is still the leader in
• 29:51
  Speaker 5: the clubhouse. Not only she leading, she's up by eleven
• 29:54
  Speaker 5: point five percent against Gavin Newsom, double digits. And her
• 29:59
  Speaker 5: lead is actually me widened over the last three four months,
• 30:03
  Speaker 5: not shortened up. Now she's not winning, she's not leading
• 30:06
  Speaker 5: in terms of the betting markets, but she has led
• 30:08
  Speaker 5: the polls from beginning to now. So this is how
• 30:13
  Speaker 5: deep the Democratic benches, This is what the Democrats have
• 30:16
  Speaker 5: to offer that Kamala Harris is leading the league. I
• 30:19
  Speaker 5: don't know what's happening.
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: Well, I think, I mean, part of it amy is
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: obviously name recognition. You know, there's a name recognition factor.
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: But it is fascinating how you see the Democrats now
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: saying Newsome's not the guy because California's a disaster. Everybody
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: knows about that. They're now going to their sort of
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: B and C tier guys. They're trying to make John
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: Ossif a thing now, which I just think is hilarious.
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: But I want to move on to New York. You're
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: a New Yorker as am. I I need your reaction
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: to the latest outrage from Zorn Mom, Donnie, and I
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: couldn't believe it's I had to watch this like five
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: times to fully understand the implications. Is here he is
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: talking about now why it is that rape statistics, the
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: crime stats are up in New York on his watch.
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: This is just unbelievable.
• 31:10
  Speaker 13: And what I think is important to know is a
• 31:12
  Speaker 13: lot of the increase in rape also comes from an
• 31:15
  Speaker 13: expanded definition of what counts as rape, as well as
• 31:18
  Speaker 13: survivors coming forward for acts that took place years prior.
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: So it's just a definition problem. We don't actually have
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: a problem. It's just to this sounds like a variational
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: in the whooping Goldberg. Well it wasn't rape rape thing.
• 31:33
  Speaker 5: Okay, I don't like that you're putting in this position, James.
• 31:36
  Speaker 5: I've actually go depend him a little bit, Oh just
• 31:40
  Speaker 5: a little bit, just for one second. Then I'll go
• 31:42
  Speaker 5: right back to attacking my promise. Okay, Look, I mean
• 31:45
  Speaker 5: the argument that the definition has changed and therefore is
• 31:48
  Speaker 5: expand what rape is. That's an actual legitimate argument on
• 31:52
  Speaker 5: why rape is up. The only problem is that rape
• 31:56
  Speaker 5: is up seven percent year over year, and that was
• 31:59
  Speaker 5: per right, that was actually after the definition was changed.
• 32:03
  Speaker 5: So yeah, that doesn't really hold. It could have held water.
• 32:06
  Speaker 5: He was so close, but alas he did not. Okay, no, Mom, Donnie,
• 32:12
  Speaker 5: let's go back to our regular programming with me and
• 32:15
  Speaker 5: Mom Donnie. He is obviously one of the worst mayors
• 32:18
  Speaker 5: in New York City history, one of the worst mayors
• 32:20
  Speaker 5: in the country. And you know this, this notion of
• 32:25
  Speaker 5: what he's doing to this city case. First of all,
• 32:27
  Speaker 5: it's dirtier, it's more dangerous, the homeless situation is out
• 32:30
  Speaker 5: of control. All those things are true, and he is
• 32:33
  Speaker 5: still giddy, giddy about trying to run the rich people
• 32:38
  Speaker 5: out of this city, and he is doing so and
• 32:40
  Speaker 5: they are in factfully, the data is showing that people
• 32:43
  Speaker 5: of the means are leaving. And one of the favorite
• 32:46
  Speaker 5: bogeyman boogeyman of Mam Donnie, of course, is Ken Griffin
• 32:51
  Speaker 5: from Citadel. Yeah, this is what it's. This is what
• 32:54
  Speaker 5: happens when you try to kick out billionaires right where
• 32:57
  Speaker 5: you have Citadel, and it's thousands of employees who pay
• 33:00
  Speaker 5: James two point three billion dollars in taxes the last
• 33:04
  Speaker 5: five years. They've moved their headquarters now to Miami and
• 33:09
  Speaker 5: they're they're now he's now threatening to move this six
• 33:12
  Speaker 5: billion dollar Park Avenue project for his new building, which
• 33:16
  Speaker 5: will employ long term fifteen thousand people. So good an you,
• 33:21
  Speaker 5: I'm Donnie. This is the result of these policies.
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: Well, this is the thing. I mean. I saw a
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: report I think it was in the New York Post saying
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: that there's going to be an eleven billion dollar loss
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: in tax revenue in one year as a result of
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: the of Mom Donnie basically chasing out the productive class.
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: I feel amy, And you know, I have friends who
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: just got back from New York. They said it ain't
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: looking great. But if you chase the financial services industry
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: out of New York and all the people that that employees,
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: and all the money that flows down to the restaurants
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: and dry cleaners everybody else, you know, it becomes like
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: Detroit after the auto industry.
• 33:58
  Speaker 5: I mean, it's not like we don't have a history
• 34:00
  Speaker 5: of this in New York. Okay, mean, New York went
• 34:02
  Speaker 5: through this. We I mean, look, you and I were
• 34:05
  Speaker 5: too young. I was too young for this, James, I
• 34:07
  Speaker 5: don't know about you, but New York City, New York
• 34:09
  Speaker 5: City in the late sixties, seventies and eighties was post apocalyptic.
• 34:16
  Speaker 5: It was a hell hole. All the risk people left
• 34:19
  Speaker 5: to Connecticut right in New Jersey. They flew the coup,
• 34:23
  Speaker 5: they left the city, and this city was a horrific,
• 34:26
  Speaker 5: dangerous place to live. Not like we have to prognosticate
• 34:29
  Speaker 5: what it could be like. New York City lived through it, okay,
• 34:32
  Speaker 5: And there's no look, history repeats itself, and we forget
• 34:36
  Speaker 5: our history. We will repeat it. And that's what's gonna
• 34:38
  Speaker 5: happen in New York. We already seen it happening in
• 34:39
  Speaker 5: slow motion, like it hasn't happened yet.
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: But it can, well, it can. I mean I look
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: to date myself here. I grew up in the eighties
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: and nineties in New York. I was there for the
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: Pogram in Crown Heights and all of that. But what's
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: really interesting to be is you look at who voted
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: for Xiorn mom, Donnie, and people who've lived in New
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: York the longest were the least likely to vote for
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: because they know exactly what happens. But there's so much
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: other stuff but class yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. And then
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: but the people who new newcomers, they say, oh, it's fantastic,
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: you know, let's have the socialism. We love it. But hey,
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: just also on us. Congressman Roe Kahanna, who seems to
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: be like the most dangerous place right now seems to
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: be between Roe Kahana and a camera. He now claims
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: that he was detained by armed Israeli settlers during a
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: visit to the West Bank recently. He described the experience
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: as a firsthand view of the reality is faced by
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: Palestinians living under occupation. But my understanding is that Roe
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: actually went looking for trouble in a big way, and
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: now he's acting shocked that had found him.
• 35:50
  Speaker 5: Yeah, this was. Oh my god, what a fake controversy,
• 35:53
  Speaker 5: What a contrived controversy. He's and and by the way,
• 35:57
  Speaker 5: reminds me of the AOC moment. Right she was arrested,
• 36:01
  Speaker 5: she right ice was walk your away. She had her
• 36:04
  Speaker 5: hands behind her back as if as if she had handcuffed.
• 36:07
  Speaker 5: Of course she put put her hands out, she wasn't handcuffed.
• 36:10
  Speaker 5: Reminds me a lot of that. God. He is the thirsty,
• 36:13
  Speaker 5: one of the thirstiest politicians I've ever seen. The man
• 36:16
  Speaker 5: is delusional. He actually thinks he has a chance for
• 36:20
  Speaker 5: the presidency. He's gonna be running for president. By the way,
• 36:23
  Speaker 5: anybody throws their money for him for the presidenty, good
• 36:26
  Speaker 5: luck to you. Sorry, But what he did was he
• 36:30
  Speaker 5: was driving. By the way, he had a chance to
• 36:31
  Speaker 5: coordinate this trip with the Israeli government and or the
• 36:35
  Speaker 5: US embassy. He refused to do either. He was driving
• 36:39
  Speaker 5: the Palisadian territories with Palaestidian car and Palstian plates. And
• 36:45
  Speaker 5: they left the paved roads, went onto a dirt road,
• 36:48
  Speaker 5: onto a closed military zone. I don't look. I don't
• 36:52
  Speaker 5: know what's like in Australia, but here in America, youriving,
• 36:57
  Speaker 5: you don't do that anywhere. Okay, you don't do that anywhere.
• 37:01
  Speaker 5: But they knew they were doing that. They wanted to
• 37:04
  Speaker 5: have a controversy. And by the way, you I wouldn't
• 37:07
  Speaker 5: have been shocked if they weren't shelled. But you know,
• 37:09
  Speaker 5: that's the kind of that's what you're dealing with. You're
• 37:12
  Speaker 5: going to a closed military base, Okay, And of course
• 37:15
  Speaker 5: they were. They treated him extremely well. Okay, they didn't
• 37:19
  Speaker 5: handcuff him or arrest him, but they want to forgot,
• 37:22
  Speaker 5: who are you? They don't know Kana Rokana can walk
• 37:25
  Speaker 5: down the street in New York City and nobody know
• 37:27
  Speaker 5: who he was. They know him in the West Bank
• 37:29
  Speaker 5: of Israel, No, of course not. But you know again,
• 37:34
  Speaker 5: and who helped promote his lies, Tucker Carlson. Tucker Carlson
• 37:38
  Speaker 5: was pushing this thing, talking about Israel and the weapons,
• 37:42
  Speaker 5: and all the horseshoe left and right right was all
• 37:45
  Speaker 5: the shank yagers and all those guys were promoting and
• 37:49
  Speaker 5: giving a platform to this fake, stupid controversy.
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, just unbelievable and just dangerous. And you're responsible too.
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: But hey, I also want to ask me about this here, Amy,
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: I'm a guest filling in for Jimmy Kimmel talking about
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: people some when people don't recognize anymore, has joked about
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: the death of Senator Lindsey Graham. Ian Bainholtz was also
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: made fun of Mitch McConnell's health scare. Haven't listen to this.
• 38:14
  Speaker 14: Mitch McConnell's alive, Lindsey Graham is dead. There's so many
• 38:18
  Speaker 14: opportunities to get Jimmy show pulled off the air again.
• 38:22
  Speaker 14: In all seriousness, though, I do want to extend well
• 38:25
  Speaker 14: wishes to Senator McConnell. I hope you get the quality
• 38:28
  Speaker 14: healthcare you fought so hard to deny everyone else.
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: So whoo oh how they collapped me? I mean, I
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: don't know. I sort of thought the first role of
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: a comedian was to be funny.
• 38:43
  Speaker 5: Oh those days are gone. Sorry on what are you
• 38:45
  Speaker 5: talking about, old olden days man. Yeah, Ike Barnholtz, who
• 38:49
  Speaker 5: is really a jackass of the highest order? You know
• 38:53
  Speaker 5: it's and by the way, it's just a really quick
• 38:55
  Speaker 5: you know. I met Lindsey Graham a number of times
• 39:00
  Speaker 5: at dinner with him. He was a hero of the Republic,
• 39:03
  Speaker 5: one of the sweetest men you could ever meet, a
• 39:06
  Speaker 5: true Southern gentleman. Yet this is what we are getting
• 39:11
  Speaker 5: from the left right, not even the hard left. This
• 39:13
  Speaker 5: is what we call the mainstream left. And it goes
• 39:16
  Speaker 5: again goes back to the idea of why is the
• 39:19
  Speaker 5: violence coming from the left. Is these permission structures we
• 39:23
  Speaker 5: see from They look at people like Jimmy Kimmel, like
• 39:27
  Speaker 5: Barenholds saying well, these are mainstream people and they're joking
• 39:30
  Speaker 5: and supporting the death of Charlie Kirk or Louis MANGIONI
• 39:34
  Speaker 5: getting support from these people, and you know, joking about
• 39:38
  Speaker 5: Supreme Court justice, all of whom are on the right,
• 39:41
  Speaker 5: every single one our conservative right are who are being
• 39:45
  Speaker 5: swatted or having their life threatened. Right, we forget all
• 39:48
  Speaker 5: about this. It's all coming from the left because they
• 39:51
  Speaker 5: see mainstream people on the left in the media supporting
• 39:56
  Speaker 5: this kind of violence. Look the support he been getting.
• 40:00
  Speaker 5: I mean, all you got to do when you're attacking
• 40:02
  Speaker 5: and your Lindsey Graham is see what kind of company
• 40:05
  Speaker 5: you keep Russia Iran. These are the people who support
• 40:08
  Speaker 5: his death. And you also see that support, that glee
• 40:12
  Speaker 5: for his death again from the horseshoe left and the
• 40:16
  Speaker 5: horseshoe right. With Tucker Carlson and Nick Futtes, and Anna
• 40:20
  Speaker 5: Kasparian and h and Hassan Piker, all of them, they're
• 40:24
  Speaker 5: the same. They're not not the left of the right.
• 40:26
  Speaker 5: They're the same body politic at this point. That's what
• 40:30
  Speaker 5: we're talking about here.
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no, look, I think I think you're right. You
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: put your put your finger right on the problem there.
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: Amy Harwitz leftily was there, but you know again, rest
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: in peace. Lindsay Graham, who also was one of the
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: apparently one of the funniest people you could ever meet
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: on Capitol Hill. If for anybody who ever had a
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: chance to chat with him, also the same thing Amy
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: Harro was gonna have to leave with there. Thanks so much,
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: great to chat. Always a pleasure still to come. All
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: the latest royal and entertainment news, including Prince Harry describing
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: himself as a full time dad. Now dd Levy joins
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: me next, Welcome back. James Mora here filling in for
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: Rita tonight. Former Channel nine percent of Carl Stefanovic has
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: told his critics to go quote f themselves in an
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: appearance on Piers Morgan's Uncensored program, Have a look, I've
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: got too much to do too much I want to do.
• 41:29
  Speaker 4: Those people aren't working in the industry anymore, so they
• 41:31
  Speaker 4: can Yeah.
• 41:34
  Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying, they can.
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: Do you want to say what I.
• 41:39
  Speaker 6: Really I really want to say it?
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: Well they can go, there we go? Can you edit?
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: Absolutely not? Well. Joining me out to discuss this and
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: more from the Entertainment and Royal World is broadcaster d
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: D done Levy Ddie. What did you make of these
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: comments from Carl? Not exactly winning friends and influencing people?
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: Is it?
• 42:02
  Speaker 4: No?
• 42:03
  Speaker 3: Well he is he is.
• 42:04
  Speaker 15: He's winning over an entire new podcast audience. I'm loving
• 42:07
  Speaker 15: Carl two point zero. He's off the leash and clearly
• 42:11
  Speaker 15: taking a leap out of Piers Morgan's book, and this
• 42:14
  Speaker 15: freedom of speech that he's exercising I think is resonating
• 42:17
  Speaker 15: very well with the audience. There's something in Carl's comments
• 42:20
  Speaker 15: that would I particularly like he said, discourse is the
• 42:23
  Speaker 15: way through. You've got to hear these voices, you prosecute
• 42:26
  Speaker 15: them like a wild man. We've got to have a
• 42:28
  Speaker 15: media landscape that does present these stories. And as he
• 42:32
  Speaker 15: said quite rightly, so if you don't like the interview,
• 42:34
  Speaker 15: you don't watch it. So I think the whole concept
• 42:38
  Speaker 15: of freedom of speech. Of the fearlessness that Carl appears
• 42:41
  Speaker 15: to have at the moment, I think is resonating with people,
• 42:44
  Speaker 15: and I think his audience is only going to grow
• 42:46
  Speaker 15: on his podcast.
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: Well. It's interesting though, because you know, while I agree
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: with him completely on free speech, being you know, a
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: serious free speech warrior myself, it's interesting because we've never
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: sort of seen this sort of sentiment, this sort of
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: philosophical side of Karl Stefanovic before as he tries to
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: make his way into a more global, i think americanized
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: kind of podcast market. Will this Australian voice cut through,
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: do you think?
• 43:13
  Speaker 3: Well?
• 43:13
  Speaker 15: I think it will. But I think you make a
• 43:16
  Speaker 15: very good point because Karl's fan base, if you like,
• 43:20
  Speaker 15: has been that sort of rusted on breakfast audience from
• 43:22
  Speaker 15: the Today Show, and some of them are very shocked
• 43:25
  Speaker 15: that he's no longer taking a centrist position. But I
• 43:29
  Speaker 15: think he's doing an excellent job. He is certainly getting
• 43:31
  Speaker 15: a lot of media attention, and it's been made very
• 43:34
  Speaker 15: clear that he has a position or that he's open
• 43:38
  Speaker 15: to hearing all points of view, which is as it
• 43:40
  Speaker 15: should be. You should be able to hear every one's
• 43:42
  Speaker 15: points of view. Perhaps you'll agree with them, perhaps you won't,
• 43:44
  Speaker 15: but maybe you'll learn something along the way, maybe you'll
• 43:47
  Speaker 15: change your point of view. That's where I think he
• 43:49
  Speaker 15: seems to be coming from, and I think he's doing
• 43:52
  Speaker 15: an excellent job of it, of building whatever this next
• 43:55
  Speaker 15: media career is for him.
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: Ah, sure, you know, absolutely, And you know I can
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: think of a few outlets such as, say, hey, the ABC,
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: maybe they could take a lesson about presenting off the
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: points of view. But Carl's former Today co host Sarah
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: Arbo has also made her final appearance on the program
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: this week? Did he was this was due to she
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: did begin of attorney leave in a few weeks, but
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: she's pulled that back forward. What can you tell us?
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: Was this a medically related move on her part?
• 44:26
  Speaker 15: Yes, it was, and Sarah has confirmed that. So I
• 44:29
  Speaker 15: believe she had some blood pressure issues and maybe something
• 44:31
  Speaker 15: else to do with her pregnancy, so she's stepping away
• 44:34
  Speaker 15: on doctors orders. But you're right, James, it did feel
• 44:37
  Speaker 15: very sudden and unexpected. But I think as she should
• 44:40
  Speaker 15: be doing, she's putting her own health and the health
• 44:42
  Speaker 15: of her unborn baby at risk. And I do think
• 44:45
  Speaker 15: I mean, the thing that I think a lot of
• 44:46
  Speaker 15: people are noticing is that there was no farewell then
• 44:49
  Speaker 15: you're going on maternity leave, some celebration.
• 44:51
  Speaker 3: But I think if they had.
• 44:52
  Speaker 15: Done that, then it would have appeared that she was
• 44:54
  Speaker 15: farewelling the show forever. And as we know, we're all
• 44:57
  Speaker 15: looking and watching the Today Show and wondering what's going
• 45:00
  Speaker 15: to happen next with it, and that would have made
• 45:02
  Speaker 15: it look as though she was not coming back to
• 45:03
  Speaker 15: be part of that. Whereas I think they would be
• 45:05
  Speaker 15: crazy to.
• 45:06
  Speaker 3: Let her go.
• 45:07
  Speaker 15: Sarah Arbo is an absolute star. She's a great presenter.
• 45:11
  Speaker 15: I think they should bring her back after her maternity leave,
• 45:13
  Speaker 15: make her the star of the show, and get her
• 45:17
  Speaker 15: a likable co host.
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah well, I mean, and of course we wish Sarah
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: all the best in her baby as well. But you
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: talk about her coming back to Today and maybe she
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: comes back in a year or eighteen months or whatever,
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: how much how much time she wants, But where does
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: the what does the Today Show look like? You know,
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: in say a year's time, eighteen months time? What's the
• 45:38
  Speaker 1: future here? Because it's been through a lot, the market
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: is changing. Is this format does it still have legs?
• 45:47
  Speaker 15: Well, I'm not entirely sure, and this would be the time,
• 45:50
  Speaker 15: if anything, for nine to make those changes. Today did
• 45:54
  Speaker 15: lag behind Sunrise before Carl's departure, and after Carl's departure,
• 45:58
  Speaker 15: I think they've lost close to ten percent of their audience.
• 46:02
  Speaker 15: On one occasion, I think Sunrise double Today's audience. So
• 46:05
  Speaker 15: the show did have problems in its format. Look, they
• 46:08
  Speaker 15: could bring it back, as I said it a moment ago,
• 46:10
  Speaker 15: with Sarah with a co host and do the same
• 46:13
  Speaker 15: old breakfast formula again, or they could relaunch it with
• 46:16
  Speaker 15: a more hard news bend. They could perhaps move the
• 46:19
  Speaker 15: show to Melbourne to give it a point of difference
• 46:21
  Speaker 15: from Sunrise, which comes out of Sydney. And I know
• 46:24
  Speaker 15: that sounds like it wouldn't make a difference, but I
• 46:25
  Speaker 15: think it would give a change or a different sort
• 46:28
  Speaker 15: of atmosphere to the show. Either way, Breakfast television audiences
• 46:34
  Speaker 15: are rusted on and I think the ratings are going
• 46:37
  Speaker 15: to be down for a long time while they do
• 46:39
  Speaker 15: this rebuild, until they settle in a new host or
• 46:43
  Speaker 15: co host or whoever hosts a show, or whatever new
• 46:45
  Speaker 15: format they go with.
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: Well, it is it is interesting to think about. Of course,
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: you can also watch Carl's brother Peter Steff right here
• 46:52
  Speaker 1: on this network every morning. But I do as we
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: all do, but I want to talk about the royals too.
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: Prince Harry has been a pot cast and I don't know.
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: I thought there was actually maybe a little bit charming.
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: He went and he was describing his occupation and he
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: now says that he is a full time dad. Have
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: a look occupation?
• 47:13
  Speaker 16: A full time dad? Pretty sure me, veteran Prince of England,
• 47:19
  Speaker 16: Duke gat out for today. I don't know what do
• 47:24
  Speaker 16: you want, Duke Dannie.
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: What do you make those comments? Because you know, full
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: time dad sounds lovely, but I detected listening to him.
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: There just there's an unease about Harry and that seems
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: to come through. What did you make of it?
• 47:40
  Speaker 5: Yeah?
• 47:40
  Speaker 15: No, I think you've picked up on something there. I
• 47:42
  Speaker 15: don't think he's comfortable doing interviews and I would advise
• 47:45
  Speaker 15: him not to do them because every time he opens
• 47:47
  Speaker 15: his mouth he makes himself sound dumber and dumber. Being
• 47:51
  Speaker 15: a full time dad is not an occupation. There are
• 47:54
  Speaker 15: millions of men who do it. They also hold down
• 47:57
  Speaker 15: full time, paid work, actual job, whereas Harry lives this
• 48:01
  Speaker 15: life of privilege and wouldn't know how to do a
• 48:03
  Speaker 15: hard day's work so he could put on his CV.
• 48:06
  Speaker 15: I don't know, grifter or something more like man manchild.
• 48:12
  Speaker 15: I think Prince of England. That's a title, it's not
• 48:15
  Speaker 15: a job. So he just sounds silly. Yeah, I think
• 48:19
  Speaker 15: it's makes a full of himself in that interview.
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: And I wonder, I wonder how many nappies he's actually
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: changed here. Meanwhile, his wife, Megan Mircle has well, I
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: can't believe this. She's going to be a guest judge
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: on Master Chef Australia next week on what on what
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: basis does Megan Markle know anything about, you know, fine
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: cooking as.
• 48:43
  Speaker 5: A judge.
• 48:46
  Speaker 15: The show has had I will I can't believe I'm
