0:09
Speaker 3: Good evening and welcome to the Reader Paney Show.
0:11
Speaker 4: Coming up tonight, the Albanizer government under renewed pressure for
0:15
Speaker 4: its mishandling of the Britney Higgins saga. The panel will
0:18
Speaker 4: be here shortly to discuss that and much more. The
0:21
Speaker 4: Great John hender Raker will have the latest from the US,
0:24
Speaker 4: including Democrat lawmakers, the Seditious Six being investigated by the FBI.
0:31
Speaker 4: I'll be joined by a brave young woman taking on
0:34
Speaker 4: the likes of Abby Chatfield to change the hearts and
0:37
Speaker 4: minds of Australian women. And d D Dunleavy will be
0:41
Speaker 4: here to cover the day's top royal and entertainment news,
0:44
Speaker 4: including claims that Meghan Markaul has been helping herself to
0:48
Speaker 4: dresses and Left is Losing It features this former MSNBC
0:53
Speaker 4: anchor turned full time race Beta making some file comments
0:58
Speaker 4: about Vice President ja the Vans and his wife Pusher.
1:03
Speaker 5: Wouldn't it be the most perfect fairytale Maga fairytale if
1:08
Speaker 5: he finally sees the light that he needs a white
1:10
Speaker 5: queen instead of this brown Hindu.
1:14
Speaker 4: But first, the Trump administration has announced it will start
1:17
Speaker 4: collecting data on crimes and human rights abuses committed by
1:21
Speaker 4: migrants in Australia. A senior State Department official send the
1:25
Speaker 4: instructions to diplomats at its embassy in Canberra and send
1:29
Speaker 4: similar cables to US embassies in Europe, Canada and New Zealand.
1:33
Speaker 4: The senior State Department official told The Sydney Morning Herald
1:37
Speaker 4: that the US government was concerned a large influx of
1:41
Speaker 4: migrants could strain markets. He said, you also have to
1:45
Speaker 4: understand the limitations and the security concerns that come with
1:49
Speaker 4: mass migration and what happens when you import a substantial
1:53
Speaker 4: number of people into a very tight particular area. Joining
1:58
Speaker 4: me now is Sky News Sport Caroline Marcus and Sky
2:01
Speaker 4: News contributor Louise Roberts. Ladies, this is very interesting, indeed, Caroline,
2:07
Speaker 4: I'll start with you. I guess it's good that somebody
2:10
Speaker 4: is doing this work because authorities in this country have
2:13
Speaker 4: made it increasingly difficult to obtain data like this on
2:18
Speaker 4: the crime rates of different ethnic groups.
2:22
Speaker 6: Well, the Australian Bureau of Crime Statistics doesn't calculate and
2:27
Speaker 6: doesn't collate that information by ethnicity. You can find it
2:31
Speaker 6: in certain state based organizations, custodial figures, Victorian crimes figures
2:38
Speaker 6: which do show an over representation and Victoria, for example,
2:42
Speaker 6: of people from South Sudan in their crime statistics. And
2:48
Speaker 6: you can see the number of people incarcerated in New
2:52
Speaker 6: South Wales prison fourteen percent come from overseas. But it
2:56
Speaker 6: is difficult to find out all the information, and I
3:00
Speaker 6: think that's deliberate. I think authorities here deliberately try to
3:04
Speaker 6: be vague about it. They're a bit scared on this
3:07
Speaker 6: issue because they don't want to be accused of being
3:11
Speaker 6: racist or stoking racism, at least that's their excuse. But
3:17
Speaker 6: really it.
3:18
Speaker 3: Is being dishonest with people.
3:19
Speaker 6: And if this is what it takes in order for
3:22
Speaker 6: us to find out the truth about what is happening,
3:25
Speaker 6: especially in certain ethnic communities where the gaps in the
3:29
Speaker 6: system are, and really be honest with people about the
3:33
Speaker 6: risks of mass migration and migration from certain places, then
3:38
Speaker 6: that is a good thing. I mean, I'll note that
3:40
Speaker 6: one of the other things that this official, this US
3:44
Speaker 6: official said in this interview with a journalist is that
3:49
Speaker 6: this is a significant intake of migrants from a culture
3:54
Speaker 6: that's different from ours is also poses a risk, and
3:57
Speaker 6: you only have to look at what's happened in the
3:59
Speaker 6: past two years here weekly mass protests, often violent protests,
4:05
Speaker 6: skyrocketing rates of anti Semitism to see that's something that
4:09
Speaker 6: has already been happening in Australia.
4:12
Speaker 4: Louise, do you see any fundamental problems with this plan
4:17
Speaker 4: with the Trump administration collecting this starter? I think the
4:22
Speaker 4: Australian people would be very interested to know what they
4:25
Speaker 4: find out.
4:26
Speaker 7: Yeah, I agree with you there, Rita, And I think
4:28
Speaker 7: there'll certainly be those in Canberra who feel this is
4:31
Speaker 7: the US government over reaching into our backyard and trying
4:35
Speaker 7: to tell us how to run our immigration and migration portfolios.
4:39
Speaker 7: But I think that you know, overall, this is a
4:42
Speaker 7: good idea because it will actually hopefully lead to a
4:46
Speaker 7: proper debate, a proper data driven debate about mass migration
4:50
Speaker 7: and immigration. And the timing of it is quite incredible really,
4:53
Speaker 7: given that Susan Lay is about to launch her immigration
4:57
Speaker 7: platform and policy. She's already signaled that she's focused on
5:00
Speaker 7: that next after tackling net zero, so it could actually
5:04
Speaker 7: put a bit of wind beneath her wings in that way,
5:06
Speaker 7: if she's sort of able to prove that there is
5:08
Speaker 7: an issue with mass migration and that we need to recalibrate.
5:12
Speaker 7: We need to actually slow down and pause and let
5:15
Speaker 7: our infrastructure, our schools, our education system, our health, our
5:19
Speaker 7: housing in particular catch up. I don't think Australian's got
5:23
Speaker 7: an issue with migrants. It's more about this tidal wave
5:25
Speaker 7: of mass migration and the impact it has on our
5:28
Speaker 7: way of life.
5:31
Speaker 4: Well, I think there's an increasing number of Australians who
5:34
Speaker 4: feel like the Coalition and Labor are not listening to
5:37
Speaker 4: them on this issue, and there's been polling that bears
5:40
Speaker 4: that out. Now, let's talk about the Albinezi government facing
5:43
Speaker 4: more calls for transparency over its handling of the legal
5:47
Speaker 4: action brought by Linda Reynolds and Fiona Brown in the
5:50
Speaker 4: wake of the Britney Higgins scandal.
5:52
Speaker 3: Attorney General Michelle Roland has.
5:54
Speaker 4: Refused to disclose whether the lawyers hired to fight the
5:58
Speaker 4: two cases are being paid more than the threshold rate
6:02
Speaker 4: of five thousand dollars per day, and whether she has
6:05
Speaker 4: signed off on a higher fees. Caroline, A spokesperson told
6:09
Speaker 4: The Australian newspaper that the specific rate charge by counsel
6:14
Speaker 4: in a particular matter is generally commercially sensitive information for counsel.
6:19
Speaker 4: But aren't we entitled to know how much we are
6:22
Speaker 4: paying for this legal representation? This is taxpayer funded after all.
6:27
Speaker 6: Absolutely we are funding the bill. Therefore we should know
6:30
Speaker 6: about it. I mean, the guy who is apparently heading
6:34
Speaker 6: this legal team, he's a former solicitor general. He charges
6:38
Speaker 6: about twenty.
6:39
Speaker 1: Five thousand a day.
6:40
Speaker 6: I think we're in the wrong profession first of all, ladies,
6:43
Speaker 6: with these sums being tossed around. But secondly, I mean
6:46
Speaker 6: this comes We're talking millions of legal fees if this
6:50
Speaker 6: gets to a trial, and it seems clear that the
6:53
Speaker 6: Commonwealth is preparing to fully defend this case if they've
6:57
Speaker 6: hired such a crack team. Millions on top of the
7:01
Speaker 6: two point four million dollar payout that Brittany Higgins got
7:05
Speaker 6: from the government after only one day of mediation, in
7:11
Speaker 6: which the then Minister Linda Reynolds wasn't even allowed to
7:15
Speaker 6: defend herself or challenge what turned out to be false
7:19
Speaker 6: claims about a political cover up of her rape.
7:22
Speaker 3: A court did.
7:23
Speaker 6: Find that there was, on the balance of probabilities that
7:26
Speaker 6: a rape likely occurred at Parliament House, but two courts
7:31
Speaker 6: now have found there is no merit for a political
7:34
Speaker 6: cover up, So why have we been paid out two
7:37
Speaker 6: point four million dollars in conversation to someone half of
7:41
Speaker 6: the main reason for that was the political cover up
7:44
Speaker 6: and also her claims that she would never be able
7:46
Speaker 6: to work again, which she has and is now currently
7:49
Speaker 6: working for a public relations boutique alongside her husband, who
7:54
Speaker 6: helped orchestrate the entire political cover up narrative. I sat
7:59
Speaker 6: through the defamation trial that Bruce Loman brought against ten,
8:02
Speaker 6: where that political cover up was found by the judge
8:05
Speaker 6: to have had no substance to it, and at this
8:09
Speaker 6: point the Albanezi government should apologize to these women rather
8:13
Speaker 6: than dragging this out any further in court. And this
8:15
Speaker 6: is on top of him arguing with journalists and claiming
8:19
Speaker 6: that he wouldn't characterize that the findings of the court
8:24
Speaker 6: in the way that we have all seen. So I
8:27
Speaker 6: really think at this point they just need to stop,
8:30
Speaker 6: admit that they made that there was a mistake made
8:33
Speaker 6: in this payout, and just you know, say sorry to
8:37
Speaker 6: these women for everything they put them through.
8:40
Speaker 4: Louise, I've got to agree with Caroline here The way
8:44
Speaker 4: Fiona Brown and Linda Reynolds have been treated is going
8:48
Speaker 4: to be an enduring stain on the Albanese government and
8:51
Speaker 4: they need to take some accountability. They've got to stop
8:55
Speaker 4: doubling down and pretending that the facts aren't the facts
8:58
Speaker 4: to Courts have found that there was no cover up
9:02
Speaker 4: and these two women have suffered terribly because of this injustice.
9:08
Speaker 7: That's right, and to all your points here, I mean
9:11
Speaker 7: why taxpayer is now going to be spending millions more
9:14
Speaker 7: on fighting these two women when they have been cleared
9:16
Speaker 7: of no wrongdoing. When you compare that to what Brittany
9:19
Speaker 7: received the two point four million, that was all very tidy,
9:21
Speaker 7: wasn't it. So from a taxpayer's point of view, this
9:26
Speaker 7: should be done and dusted. We've got plenty better things
9:29
Speaker 7: to spend money on than this. Another core case with
9:32
Speaker 7: these incredibly high paid lawyers.
9:36
Speaker 4: Now the Australian is reporting climate change and Energy Minister
9:40
Speaker 4: Chris Bowen will not travel to Columbia for a climate
9:43
Speaker 4: event in April next year. Bowen couldn't say how many
9:47
Speaker 4: sitting days of Parliament he would miss and how much
9:50
Speaker 4: taxpayer funds would be spent on international travel to fulfill
9:54
Speaker 4: his new role as COP thirty one president. Susan Lee
9:58
Speaker 4: took a jab role during question time yesterday.
10:03
Speaker 8: The Coalition thanks the full time president of COP thirty
10:06
Speaker 8: one negotiations for taking the time today to make himself
10:10
Speaker 8: available and accountable to the Australian Parliament. How many days
10:14
Speaker 8: of parliament will the part time minister miss in twenty
10:17
Speaker 8: twenty six and what will be the cost to Australian taxpayers?
10:21
Speaker 4: Louisa the Coalition has finally worked out. I don't know
10:25
Speaker 4: why it took them so long that Chris Bowen is
10:29
Speaker 4: a week link and Labour's climate policies are a week link.
10:34
Speaker 4: I guess when they were signed up to net zero
10:36
Speaker 4: they couldn't really fight that issue wholeheartedly.
10:39
Speaker 3: But now that they've abandoned net zero, game on.
10:43
Speaker 7: Game on, absolutely And to anyone at home watching this
10:46
Speaker 7: thinking he's the part time minister and the full time president,
10:49
Speaker 7: what's it getting paid for that? And what about my
10:51
Speaker 7: energy bills? Why have I opened an energy miili one
10:53
Speaker 7: month which was eight hundred dollars or something like that.
10:55
Speaker 7: I'm sure that's not an uncommon story for people watching
10:58
Speaker 7: this program tonight. So what's it going to call it,
11:02
Speaker 7: and how can he actually explain to us that he's
11:04
Speaker 7: going to do the job that he's meant to do
11:06
Speaker 7: for us, which is a course the Minister for Energy,
11:08
Speaker 7: and what's he going to do about costs of living
11:10
Speaker 7: in that department. Look, it's a real tumbleweed situation on that, I.
11:14
Speaker 4: Feel, Caroline, how do you think the coalition is going
11:19
Speaker 4: to tackle the issue of climate change and energy policy
11:23
Speaker 4: now that they have walked away from their zero They
11:25
Speaker 4: are a little bit compromised because for a few years
11:28
Speaker 4: and now they've been signed up to that policy, but
11:32
Speaker 4: they're also free now to really argue about affordability and
11:36
Speaker 4: reliability and not just emissions.
11:39
Speaker 6: That's certainly the line that I've heard them push in
11:42
Speaker 6: all the media interviews since they walked away.
11:45
Speaker 3: From let zero.
11:46
Speaker 6: Time and again they say they trot out this line
11:49
Speaker 6: where now the party for energy affordability over energy emissions.
11:53
Speaker 3: That's our priority now.
11:55
Speaker 6: And that's all well and good, and that could win
11:56
Speaker 6: them an election if they can really prosecute that properly
12:00
Speaker 6: tell Australians really how much they're paying for this climate craziness. However,
12:05
Speaker 6: they still do have one foot out the door and
12:08
Speaker 6: one foot in because they're still in the Paris Agreement.
12:11
Speaker 6: So you could argue that unless they are fully committed
12:16
Speaker 6: to changing doing what US President Donald Trump has done
12:20
Speaker 6: leaving Paris, making it clear where they priorities like the
12:24
Speaker 6: electric could still be a bit confused about where they
12:27
Speaker 6: really stand.
12:29
Speaker 4: That's an excellent point, because they are theout taking a
12:34
Speaker 4: position that's a little bit incoherent. And if you really
12:36
Speaker 4: want to prosecute the case, if you really want to have.
12:39
Speaker 3: That fight, you've got to leave Paris.
12:41
Speaker 4: You can't be saying this is a crisis and we
12:45
Speaker 4: have to commit to these targets globally, when really your
12:51
Speaker 4: policies don't reflect that.
12:53
Speaker 3: Ladies, before you go, let's talk housing.
12:55
Speaker 4: The ub and Easy government has been accused of neglecting
12:58
Speaker 4: housing construction in outer suburbs in favor of trying to
13:02
Speaker 4: squeeze more people into inner city areas. The government is
13:05
Speaker 4: already sixty thousand homes behind its target of one point
13:09
Speaker 4: two million homes by mid twenty twenty nine. An alliance
13:13
Speaker 4: of twenty nine local governments representing the urban fringes of
13:17
Speaker 4: capital cities say eighty two and a half thousand homes
13:20
Speaker 4: could begin construction immediately, but they are sitting on the
13:25
Speaker 4: drawing board, Luise. They point to a lack of essential
13:29
Speaker 4: infrastructure and they call for more financial support. But let's
13:34
Speaker 4: be honest here, we are not going to see anything
13:37
Speaker 4: like one point two million homes by twenty twenty.
13:40
Speaker 7: Nine, absolutely not. What abysmal policy that is, as you say,
13:44
Speaker 7: fifty thousand behind already. And these new estates, some of
13:48
Speaker 7: them this year, built this year in twenty twenty five,
13:51
Speaker 7: have no proper sewer connection or proper roads or anything.
13:54
Speaker 3: So who's going to want to live there?
13:55
Speaker 7: And the thing is that the Albanezy government has been
13:57
Speaker 7: really obsessed with jamming people into the inner city and
14:00
Speaker 7: most people found these actually don't want to live with
14:02
Speaker 7: It doesn't offer the lifestyle or the price point that
14:05
Speaker 7: they're after, so they're willing to move out. But if
14:08
Speaker 7: there's no infrastructure, how does that work for them? It doesn't,
14:11
Speaker 7: So the whole housing plan falls in a screaming heat,
14:13
Speaker 7: doesn't it.
14:15
Speaker 4: And Carolina, it's tied to the mass migration we are
14:18
Speaker 4: seeing as well. That's obviously having an impact on housing,
14:23
Speaker 4: but it's also having an impact on infrastructure. If you're
14:25
Speaker 4: going to bring in the numbers they're bringing. You need
14:28
Speaker 4: to be building a lot more hospitals and schools and
14:31
Speaker 4: all sorts of other things that people need.
14:34
Speaker 6: If you can't even get the basics right, if people
14:37
Speaker 6: can't even flush a toilet or have water to drink
14:40
Speaker 6: or have a shower in the homes that are already there,
14:43
Speaker 6: what hope is there of any developer or anyone wanting.
14:47
Speaker 3: To live out in these outer areas.
14:49
Speaker 6: And a substantial number of these houses under this target
14:54
Speaker 6: that the Albanezy government has will have to be built
14:57
Speaker 6: in the outer area. We just don't have the space
14:59
Speaker 6: and they're inner city. So you're right to mention mass migration,
15:03
Speaker 6: even though it's something the government shies away from. That
15:05
Speaker 6: is an issue when it comes to housing affordability, the
15:09
Speaker 6: supply of housing that is going to have to be
15:13
Speaker 6: addressed as well, and it's something that they have been
15:15
Speaker 6: very reluctant to do.
15:18
Speaker 4: Ladies, Caroline Marcus Louis Roberts, thank you so much for
15:20
Speaker 4: your time tonight. You might remember last week I showed
15:24
Speaker 4: you Hannah Ferugia having a discussion with a lefty about
15:28
Speaker 4: abortion and the sanctity of life.
15:31
Speaker 9: I think that every woman and every person with a
15:34
Speaker 9: vagina and a utero should have rights to their own body.
15:37
Speaker 10: I agree that bodily autonomy is really important, but what
15:40
Speaker 10: if there's two bodies? That's what a pregnancy is.
15:43
Speaker 9: Well, it's kind of actually like a virus is leaching
15:45
Speaker 9: off you.
15:46
Speaker 10: It's not a virus because definitionally it's actually the same species.
15:50
Speaker 10: Your body is actually made to protect the baby inside
15:53
Speaker 10: your room, not destroy it.
15:54
Speaker 9: I have a drug addict and I have alcoholism, and
15:57
Speaker 9: that baby's going to come out really horrible and not
15:59
Speaker 9: have a good life and live Really shit, would you
16:02
Speaker 9: want that child to have to live through that?
16:06
Speaker 4: Please to welcome Hannah Ferujia two SKA News for her
16:09
Speaker 4: first interview.
16:10
Speaker 3: Hannah, you are pro life.
16:13
Speaker 4: That is a minority position in this country, particularly amongst
16:17
Speaker 4: young women. How do you go about changing hearts and minds?
16:22
Speaker 11: Thanks, Reta. I think the old fashioned way, just having
16:26
Speaker 11: conversations with people, debates. I think the most historical events
16:32
Speaker 11: that have happened in history, laws that have been changed,
16:35
Speaker 11: happened by just having conversations with everyday people and having
16:39
Speaker 11: those debates and posting those to public forum. And today
16:44
Speaker 11: I guess that's social media and letting people decide not
16:47
Speaker 11: censoring any information, and I think that Australian people are
16:51
Speaker 11: now starting to see the truth around the reality of abortion.
16:57
Speaker 4: Now, I want to play you a clip of Abby Chatfield,
17:00
Speaker 4: who has a massive online following. Here she talks about
17:04
Speaker 4: loving loving abortion.
17:07
Speaker 12: If you say that you are pro choice, yet you go, well,
17:09
Speaker 12: I'm not going to say that I love it or
17:10
Speaker 12: celebrate it, then you aren't quite there. You're not quite
17:13
Speaker 12: as far as you should because realistically you still have
17:16
Speaker 12: a lot of shame around abortion, and you still see
17:17
Speaker 12: some sort of loss from an abortion. Obviously, having an
17:21
Speaker 12: abortion is not something people go.
17:23
Speaker 13: Yeah, abush and time, abush and time, get it out
17:26
Speaker 13: of me.
17:26
Speaker 12: But people often report feeling relieved post abortion.
17:30
Speaker 3: So do without what you will.
17:33
Speaker 4: What's your response to that, Hannah.
17:36
Speaker 11: I think that if you say you love abortion, that's
17:39
Speaker 11: a pretty extremist view, even for a pro choice person.
17:43
Speaker 11: I think it's just another angle at trying to rewrite
17:47
Speaker 11: the narrative of the relationship between a mother and their child.
17:52
Speaker 11: I think it's completely insane, honestly, I from being frank.
17:56
Speaker 4: Do you worry about the influence that women like her
18:00
Speaker 4: have the big online TikTok Instagram following and the fact
18:06
Speaker 4: that they're celebrated by much of the media. Do you
18:10
Speaker 4: see that having an impact on how young women think.
18:15
Speaker 11: Yeah, absolutely, I think that. You know, I have a
18:18
Speaker 11: two year old daughter, and I kind of imagine her
18:22
Speaker 11: growing up on content like that. It's terrifying.
18:25
Speaker 10: I grew up on.
18:25
Speaker 11: Content like that. I'm still pretty young, and I have
18:28
Speaker 11: a lot of loved ones who still watch Aba Chatfield
18:30
Speaker 11: and think that everything she says is diamonds and it's
18:34
Speaker 11: just it's complete rubbish. I think she just, you know,
18:37
Speaker 11: takes to the camera and says whatever's at the top
18:39
Speaker 11: of her mind, and you know, not all not all
18:43
Speaker 11: press is good press, in my opinion, and I think
18:47
Speaker 11: that that needs to be the more popular, more popular opinion.
18:54
Speaker 4: Now, we have very liberal abortion laws in this country,
18:59
Speaker 4: and I think there are plenty of people in this country,
19:02
Speaker 4: as there are in the US, who may be pro
19:05
Speaker 4: choice in the first trimester, but they're very much against
19:08
Speaker 4: late term abortion.
19:11
Speaker 3: It is a more nuanced.
19:13
Speaker 4: Issue than many in the media claim. Hannah, how do
19:18
Speaker 4: you see late term abortion and do we have some
19:21
Speaker 4: clarity around how often it happens and is it happening
19:25
Speaker 4: purely because of medical necessity.
19:29
Speaker 11: No, it's not a majority of abortions. Late term abortions
19:34
Speaker 11: happen for healthy babies, so it's complete garbage. Actually, I
19:40
Speaker 11: think a lot of people have been led down the
19:42
Speaker 11: garden path into thinking that it's just out of medical necessity,
19:46
Speaker 11: and that's just not true. The data tells us that,
19:48
Speaker 11: and yeah, I think we need to spread that truth.
19:52
Speaker 11: And I think that's what we're actually doing as bird Flip,
19:55
Speaker 11: the company that I work for. We're doing that on
19:57
Speaker 11: Instagram where we're spreading that message. And I think when
20:00
Speaker 11: it comes to late term abortion, it's a lot it's
20:04
Speaker 11: a bit more difficult for people to dehumanize that child
20:06
Speaker 11: because you can clearly see that baby in an ultrasound.
20:09
Speaker 11: It looks like a baby. As far as I'm concerned,
20:12
Speaker 11: your value is and determined by your age, size, location.
20:14
Speaker 11: But I think it's a real sticking point for a
20:16
Speaker 11: lot of pro choice people.
20:18
Speaker 4: Yeah, oh absolutely, And the data bears that out that
20:23
Speaker 4: you do have this big cross section who may be
20:26
Speaker 4: okay with abortion in the first trimester, but they have
20:29
Speaker 4: serious issues with it when it comes to late term abortion.
20:33
Speaker 4: And late term abortion is widely available in this country.
20:36
Speaker 4: Hannah Feruccia. Thank you so much for your time tonight.
20:40
Speaker 1: Thanks so much.
20:40
Speaker 3: Rider still to come.
20:42
Speaker 4: Lefties losing it plus Democrat lawmakers the Seditious Six are
20:48
Speaker 4: being investigated by the FBI.
20:50
Speaker 3: John Heinderaika is up next.
21:03
Speaker 4: You're watching the Reader Panehy Show, and it's time for
21:05
Speaker 4: left He's losing it and we're going to start in
21:09
Speaker 4: the gutter tonight, folks, we're going to hear from the
21:12
Speaker 4: most reprehensible trolls on the Internet, the profoundly delusional and
21:18
Speaker 4: nasty Harrodans, Joy Reid and Jennifer Welch and some other
21:22
Speaker 4: dim Karen who's there also.
21:24
Speaker 3: What you're about to hear is the.
21:27
Speaker 4: Unhinged musings of irredeemably awful people.
21:31
Speaker 3: And I don't say that lightly.
21:33
Speaker 4: Listen and take note of just how low and ugly
21:37
Speaker 4: their comments are about JD.
21:38
Speaker 3: Vance and Usher Vance.
21:40
Speaker 4: It's not just ugly, it's utterly divorced from reality.
21:45
Speaker 5: They can't have the successor to Maga be the guy
21:48
Speaker 5: with the brown Hindu wife. They're also Christian nationalists that
21:51
Speaker 5: it can work. That's why he's throwing his wife under
21:53
Speaker 5: the bus or Usha or she's.
21:54
Speaker 14: In on it right and slap and tackle with Erica Kirks.
21:58
Speaker 5: Shit I've ever seen it's She's like in her Tammy
22:01
Speaker 5: fay Era, holding on the back of his head and
22:04
Speaker 5: rubbing on some weird shaby that the JACI i'ma start
22:09
Speaker 5: thinking something going on. Why are you holding the bigger
22:12
Speaker 5: he's here? I'm like, you're not doing that right thing.
22:14
Speaker 5: You're supposed to be a widow, you in leather pants wear.
22:19
Speaker 1: Could you imagine.
22:21
Speaker 5: If wouldn't it be the most perfect fairy tale, Maga
22:25
Speaker 5: fairy tale if he finally sees the light that he
22:28
Speaker 5: needs a white queen instead of this brown Hindu.
22:32
Speaker 4: White queen instead of the brown Hindu. I told you
22:36
Speaker 4: they're vile, racist and vile. That's what happens when you
22:40
Speaker 4: exist in a toxic echo chamber. And I've never mixed
22:44
Speaker 4: with someone who is Maga or Republican. As for the
22:48
Speaker 4: slander of Erica kirk I'm sorry, but where does it
22:52
Speaker 4: say that a widow is obliged to be ugly and dowdy.
22:56
Speaker 4: We're now trying to shame a grieving widow for being
22:59
Speaker 4: too pre Is that what's happening here?
23:02
Speaker 3: And let's talk about.
23:03
Speaker 4: That supposedly inappropriate hug between Erica Kirk and JD.
23:07
Speaker 3: Vance.
23:08
Speaker 4: Let me play you the whole thing in full. It
23:10
Speaker 4: only lasts a few seconds. You tell me if this
23:13
Speaker 4: is scandalous.
23:22
Speaker 3: That was it.
23:23
Speaker 4: That was the hug and Erica Kirk has since explained
23:27
Speaker 4: she was beginning to cry as JD.
23:29
Speaker 3: Vance approached her.
23:30
Speaker 4: He told her Charlie would be so proud of her,
23:32
Speaker 4: and she hugged him and said, God bless you. The
23:35
Speaker 4: whole thing lasted about four seconds.
23:38
Speaker 3: Let's get back to.
23:39
Speaker 4: The vile race faces, Joy Read and Jennifer Welch and
23:43
Speaker 4: the other one. All they do is project and accuse
23:46
Speaker 4: their political opponents of what they themselves are guilty of.
23:50
Speaker 5: Vance has a problem in that the beast of MAGA
23:53
Speaker 5: is fundamentally recent. I don't know, people don't like it
23:55
Speaker 5: when you say it, but it was. It's the emergence
23:58
Speaker 5: from the Tea Party to MAGA. Yeah, when you finally
24:00
Speaker 5: did the actual data pe r I and others, the
24:03
Speaker 5: thing that most motivated them was race and hatred of
24:06
Speaker 5: non white immigrants. What most matigates motivates MAGA hatred and
24:10
Speaker 5: non white immigrants. They're obsessed with non white immigrants and
24:13
Speaker 5: undocumented people. They use the term illegals, which is just
24:15
Speaker 5: the N word for brown people. If you want to
24:17
Speaker 5: say the N word and it's about brown people, you
24:19
Speaker 5: say illegal. I'm sorry, I said it again. That is
24:21
Speaker 5: me saying the N word about That is what it is,
24:23
Speaker 5: right and that's what motivates them.
24:25
Speaker 4: So the word illegal a correct, accurate term. Illegal term
24:31
Speaker 4: is now akin to using the N word. Just genius stuff.
24:35
Speaker 4: And to round up this lunacy, joy Read claims that
24:39
Speaker 4: Trump supporters will commit j had for the president.
24:44
Speaker 5: The fear is that if you don't obey him, his
24:46
Speaker 5: cult will try to kill you. People wanted to vote
24:49
Speaker 5: to impeach, but they were afraid that they'd be assassinated
24:52
Speaker 5: by Trump supporters because Mega supporters are armed to the teeth.
24:56
Speaker 5: They are rabid in their support of him, and it's
24:58
Speaker 5: a religion, so they will commit behard Trump.
25:02
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's the right that is committing acts of political violence.
25:06
Speaker 4: These people exist in a parallel universe. Now let's hear
25:10
Speaker 4: it from a woman who seems to be admitting to
25:12
Speaker 4: breaking the law by being blatantly racist, charging white people
25:17
Speaker 4: more for the same service for just being white.
25:21
Speaker 3: And she's supposed to be an attorney.
25:22
Speaker 1: I love to overcharge white people and organizations and do
25:27
Speaker 1: pro bono work for black works. And that's just me
25:29
Speaker 1: being very blunt. I will give them ridiculous rates, and
25:33
Speaker 1: then I'll have like a nonprofit or a black org
25:36
Speaker 1: or somebody doing some work and be like, I've only
25:38
Speaker 1: got this much money, and I'm like, keep it. A
25:41
Speaker 1: white person, just cut me a check. Let's do this.
25:43
Speaker 4: Refrie charming, but it appears that she only discriminates against
25:47
Speaker 4: white people while at work because in a personal life,
25:51
Speaker 4: she has chosen to be married to just about the
25:54
Speaker 4: whitest man in America.
25:56
Speaker 3: You will stud with you between the habits and the earth.
25:58
Speaker 3: I will tell you where you want. You love me.
26:01
Speaker 3: I love you.
26:05
Speaker 4: Now to New Orleans, the most dangerous city in America.
26:09
Speaker 4: Let's hear from the police superintendent there and Kirkpatrick, who
26:14
Speaker 4: is clearly some sort of DEI higher because she doesn't
26:17
Speaker 4: even understand the law, the law she's supposed to uphold. Here,
26:21
Speaker 4: she claims that being in the country illegally is just
26:24
Speaker 4: a civil matter.
26:26
Speaker 6: We have taken back our own ownership of our agency
26:30
Speaker 6: to be in the country undocumented, this civil issue.
26:35
Speaker 14: We will not enforce civil law.
26:38
Speaker 4: Now we may mock the leftist media endlessly in this segment,
26:41
Speaker 4: but rest assured they are not just worthy of mockery,
26:45
Speaker 4: but of condemnation. Look what they have done to this
26:48
Speaker 4: poor kid who is terrified that his family will be
26:52
Speaker 4: snatched off the streets and deported despite the fact that
26:56
Speaker 4: they are citizens.
26:57
Speaker 3: This is what fake news can do.
27:01
Speaker 2: I'm scared for my parents to walk out there, to
27:06
Speaker 2: walk out their house, because I might not be able
27:09
Speaker 2: to say goodbye to them if they go to work.
27:11
Speaker 2: I'm scared that everyone that I love is no I'm
27:16
Speaker 2: not gonna be able to see them again. Because even
27:19
Speaker 2: though that the US citizens, they don't care about us.
27:22
Speaker 2: They treat us like dogs. They treat us like animals.
27:25
Speaker 2: I should not live like this as a sixteen year old.
27:27
Speaker 2: I shouldn't be scared. I should be focusing on school
27:29
Speaker 2: when I came and focused on school.
27:32
Speaker 4: Joining me now is the president of the Center of
27:35
Speaker 4: the American Experiment and the man behind the popular power
27:38
Speaker 4: Line blog, John Heindereicher, John, It's sad. It's terribly sad
27:44
Speaker 4: that a sixteen year old could have such a warped
27:47
Speaker 4: sense of reality, a warped sense of what's happening in
27:50
Speaker 4: the US, US citizens are not being deported, and yet
27:54
Speaker 4: that kid lives in fear.
27:58
Speaker 14: Radio. It's completely nuts. You can't part a citizen, there's
28:01
Speaker 14: no such thing. It makes no sense. But let's put
28:04
Speaker 14: the blame where it belongs. Democratic Party politicians have been
28:08
Speaker 14: going around for months now falsely claiming that the Trump
28:12
Speaker 14: administration is somehow deporting American citizens. It's a complete lie.
28:18
Speaker 14: It doesn't even make sense, and yet you see people
28:21
Speaker 14: like this poor sixteen year old kid actually believing it.
28:26
Speaker 3: Now, talking about a warp sense of reality. Tell me
28:29
Speaker 3: about this crazy.
28:31
Speaker 4: Story of a man, a biological male, winning the World's
28:35
Speaker 4: Strongest Woman competition, only to be stripped of the title
28:40
Speaker 4: after organizers realized that she was indeed a he and
28:43
Speaker 4: born a man. Jamie Booker was disqualified earlier today after
28:49
Speaker 4: destroying the competition at the official World Championship in Arlington,
28:53
Speaker 4: Texas over the weekend. John sanity has prevailed in this case,
28:57
Speaker 4: but it's just another example of why this sort of
29:01
Speaker 4: lunacy had a massive impact in the twenty twenty four election.
29:05
Speaker 4: One of Trump's most impactful ads was regarding this issue.
29:12
Speaker 14: You're absolutely right, Rita, and the insanity continues in my
29:15
Speaker 14: own state of Minnesota, our Supreme Court recently held that
29:20
Speaker 14: the USA Powerlifting Organization is required to allow men to
29:26
Speaker 14: compete in the women's powerlifting division as a matter of
29:31
Speaker 14: Minnesota law. So this insanity, I think is quit hit
29:35
Speaker 14: be with us for some time to come. And frankly, Rita,
29:39
Speaker 14: it is a gift to the Republican Party.
29:43
Speaker 3: Oh, it is a gift.
29:44
Speaker 4: And some of those Blue states, blue cities are persevering.
29:49
Speaker 4: And yet it is almost an eighty twenty issue. Sometimes
29:52
Speaker 4: I think it's a ninety ten issue when the overwhelming
29:56
Speaker 4: majority of people think this is grossly unfair, should be happening,
30:01
Speaker 4: and yet you've got the political class, the media activist class,
30:05
Speaker 4: backing this sort of craziness.
30:08
Speaker 3: Now, I played footage earlier.
30:10
Speaker 4: John of the New Orleans Police Superintendent and Kirkpatrick, and
30:15
Speaker 4: she claimed that being in the country illegally is a
30:18
Speaker 4: civil issue and her police force will not enforce civil law.
30:25
Speaker 3: I don't know what to say about this.
30:26
Speaker 4: Can you enlighten the New Orleans Police superintendent about the law, please?
30:32
Speaker 14: I think so, Rita. Undersection thirteen twenty five of the
30:35
Speaker 14: United States Code, illegal entry is a felony punishable by
30:40
Speaker 14: up to six months in prison for a first offense.
30:44
Speaker 14: Now it also is subject to a civil penalty, but
30:48
Speaker 14: the laws specifically says that that is in addition to,
30:53
Speaker 14: and not in lieu of, any criminal penalties. And here again,
30:58
Speaker 14: this is something that you hear a Democrat Party politicians
31:01
Speaker 14: misrepresenting frequently, and they're simply wrong about what the law is.
31:07
Speaker 4: Well, how can you have people in positions like this
31:11
Speaker 4: openly defying the law and how much of that is
31:14
Speaker 4: happening in the US where it in Blu Cidies was
31:18
Speaker 4: as great resistance towards the deportation program in particular, You've
31:23
Speaker 4: got people in positions of authority saying we're.
31:27
Speaker 3: Not going to accept this.
31:28
Speaker 4: We don't care if there is a mandate, we are
31:31
Speaker 4: going to find a way not to do it.
31:34
Speaker 14: We're seeing this across the country where Democratic Party mayors
31:38
Speaker 14: and sometimes governors are trained to interfere with the enforcement
31:42
Speaker 14: of federal law. That's what's going on here. It is
31:44
Speaker 14: illegal to be in this country illegally, right, and the
31:49
Speaker 14: Trump administration is carrying out its duty under Article two
31:52
Speaker 14: of the Constitution to enforce the law. And yet we
31:56
Speaker 14: do have these mayors and these governors literally trained to
32:00
Speaker 14: obstruct the enforcement of federal law. It's a real scandal.
32:05
Speaker 3: It is a scandal. And they won't even use the
32:07
Speaker 3: word illegal.
32:08
Speaker 4: I've noticed that with the Chicago met Brandon Johnson and
32:13
Speaker 4: I heard Joy Read earlier today say that the word
32:16
Speaker 4: illegal is the new n word.
32:18
Speaker 3: John, So you.
32:19
Speaker 4: Can't even accurately describe an an illegal immigrant by using
32:25
Speaker 4: the word illegal. They're trying to make that taboo.
32:29
Speaker 14: Yeah, they like to use the word undocumented, as if
32:32
Speaker 14: the guy just lost his driver's license or something. The
32:35
Speaker 14: correct phrase in the law is illegal alien. Okay, that
32:40
Speaker 14: is the correct legal phrase.
32:44
Speaker 4: Now, sticking with New Orleans for a second, Given this
32:47
Speaker 4: woman is leading the police force there, I can understand
32:51
Speaker 4: why crime in New Orleans is out of control. It
32:54
Speaker 4: has been ranked the most dangerous city in the US,
32:57
Speaker 4: and it's homicide rate is dramatically high than the rest
33:01
Speaker 4: of the country.
33:02
Speaker 3: John how big an issue is crime in.
33:05
Speaker 4: Those big cities like New Orleans, Chicago, New York. Is
33:11
Speaker 4: it something that you see having an impact in the midterms,
33:14
Speaker 4: for example.
33:16
Speaker 14: It's a huge issue across the country. It certainly will
33:19
Speaker 14: be an issue in the midterms, as it was in
33:21
Speaker 14: twenty twenty four. But frankly, Rita, it's kind of a
33:25
Speaker 14: mystery these cities like Chicago and New Orleans and many
33:29
Speaker 14: others that have been just riddled with crime for years.
33:33
Speaker 14: Why don't these people change their ways when they get
33:37
Speaker 14: to the voting booth. Why do they keep voting for
33:41
Speaker 14: these politicians who will not enforce the law. Honestly, it
33:45
Speaker 14: is very hard to explain.
33:49
Speaker 4: Now, John, tell me about the continued fallout from a
33:52
Speaker 4: video of Democrat lawmakers urging US service members to refuse
33:59
Speaker 4: what they call legal orders. They supposed illegal orders. They
34:02
Speaker 4: don't spell out any of them, and they've been asked
34:06
Speaker 4: some of them in interviews since this video was released,
34:09
Speaker 4: and they can't name any Donald Trump called the video seditious,
34:13
Speaker 4: And now the FBI has contacted the US Capitol Police
34:17
Speaker 4: to begin scheduling interviews with the six members of Congress
34:21
Speaker 4: who appeared in that video.
34:23
Speaker 3: Could we see charges here?
34:26
Speaker 9: We might?
34:27
Speaker 3: Reader.
34:27
Speaker 14: I think that Senator Mark Kelly is the one who
34:30
Speaker 14: is in the most peril, and the reason for that
34:33
Speaker 14: is that he is a retired officer who is still
34:36
Speaker 14: subject to the Uniform Code of Military Justice. He could
34:41
Speaker 14: be recalled to active duty and court martialed. I don't
34:45
Speaker 14: know if that's going to happen or not, but it
34:47
Speaker 14: certainly could. You know, the Seditious six as we call them,
34:52
Speaker 14: thought that they were safe because in the video they
34:54
Speaker 14: say you can disobey illegal orders, and of course that's true,
34:58
Speaker 14: but they clearly am applied. And I think we stated
35:01
Speaker 14: outright in that video that the Trump administration is issuing
35:05
Speaker 14: illegal orders to servicemen left and right, and as you say,
35:10
Speaker 14: at least two of them have admitted no, we don't
35:12
Speaker 14: know if a single illegal order that the Trump administration
35:16
Speaker 14: has issued. And what they don't say in the video
35:19
Speaker 14: is that military orders are presumed to be lawful and
35:24
Speaker 14: that philosophical disagreement is not a basis for refusing to
35:28
Speaker 14: obey an order. And so if there are service members
35:32
Speaker 14: who actually follow the advice of these six elected Democratic
35:37
Speaker 14: politicians and refuse to obey or orders, they could be
35:41
Speaker 14: in real trouble. And so we'll see how this plays out.
35:45
Speaker 14: The FBI is going to interview them. I think Secretary
35:49
Speaker 14: Pete Hegseth is looking at investigating Senator Kelly with a
35:54
Speaker 14: view toward possibly recalling him to active duty and court martialing.
36:00
Speaker 14: So It's a serious situation.
36:03
Speaker 3: It absolutely is.
36:04
Speaker 4: They're asking members of the military to defy the chain
36:07
Speaker 4: of command based on feelings because they can't name anything
36:11
Speaker 4: concrete which was an illegal order.
36:13
Speaker 3: And when Senator Elissa Slotkin.
36:16
Speaker 4: Was asked about this, I think it was on CNN,
36:18
Speaker 4: she just flounder.
36:20
Speaker 3: John. She was talking about.
36:22
Speaker 4: A Few Good Men, a movie starring Tom Cruise, as
36:25
Speaker 4: an example of what could happen if you follow an
36:29
Speaker 4: illegal order. I mean, it is fast, high, fast. But
36:33
Speaker 4: if members of the military do listen to these individuals
36:37
Speaker 4: and defy a lawful order, they could find themselves in
36:40
Speaker 4: terrible trouble.
36:42
Speaker 14: Absolutely, and insating military personnel to disobey orders is a crime.
36:49
Speaker 4: As Donald Trump trying to point out. Now, what's the
36:52
Speaker 4: latest on the cases against former FBI director James Comy
36:57
Speaker 4: and New York Attorney General Letitia James M's earlier this
37:01
Speaker 4: week a democratical point to judge dismissed the indictments against
37:05
Speaker 4: both of them on a technicality. She found the President
37:09
Speaker 4: Trump's appointment of interim US Attorney Lindsay Halligan in Alexandria,
37:14
Speaker 4: Virginia was invalid.
37:17
Speaker 3: Is the case dead? John?
37:18
Speaker 4: Now, against both these individuals or charges against Comy and
37:23
Speaker 4: James likely to be refiled.
37:26
Speaker 14: Well, what's going on here, as you say, is that
37:28
Speaker 14: the court held that Lindsay Halligan was not properly appointed
37:32
Speaker 14: as an interim important point, interim us attorney. The court
37:36
Speaker 14: maybe right about that. It's a close question under federal law.
37:39
Speaker 14: The real issue is where do we go from here.
37:42
Speaker 14: The dismissals were without prejudice, which means that the criminal
37:46
Speaker 14: charges can be refiled. I assume that the criminal charges
37:51
Speaker 14: against Letitia James, New York's Attorney General, which are strong,
37:55
Speaker 14: will be refiled. However, the statute of limitations has run
38:00
Speaker 14: the perjury charge against James call Mey, former FBI director,
38:06
Speaker 14: So if this ruling stands up on appeal, that charge
38:10
Speaker 14: cannot be reinstated.
38:13
Speaker 3: Oh, that one's interesting.
38:15
Speaker 4: Now before you go, We've had Donald Trump overseeing eight
38:19
Speaker 4: peace steals so far in his second term, but the
38:22
Speaker 4: most elusive one appears to be Russia Ukraine that seems
38:26
Speaker 4: to be getting closer and closer. How do you see that, John,
38:31
Speaker 4: Is that something that there could be a resolution to
38:34
Speaker 4: by the end of this week?
38:35
Speaker 3: Possibly?
38:36
Speaker 14: I sure hope so Rita. That war needs to end
38:39
Speaker 14: it's been an absolute catastrophe, both for Ukraine and for Russia.
38:43
Speaker 14: The problem is that the Russians so far have not
38:46
Speaker 14: indicated any willingness to back away from their core demands.
38:51
Speaker 14: They want to keep all of the territory which they
38:54
Speaker 14: have taken militarily, and they want to guarantee that Ukraine
38:58
Speaker 14: will not ever be allowed to join NATO, and they
39:01
Speaker 14: may want some kind of demilitarization of Ukraine. And so
39:05
Speaker 14: there's a new proposal now that the Trump administration has
39:08
Speaker 14: been working on with the Europeans and with Zlenski's government,
39:13
Speaker 14: and it apparently is now acceptable to Ukraine. But it's
39:16
Speaker 14: a huge question is it going to be acceptable to Russia.
39:19
Speaker 14: That's the real problem, And I don't know. All I
39:23
Speaker 14: can say is that so far the Russians have been
39:25
Speaker 14: adamant in not backing off on their demands.
39:30
Speaker 4: We were told so often throughout this war that Ukraine
39:35
Speaker 4: had the upper hand, that Russian forces were depleted, that
39:38
Speaker 4: were demoralized, that were being destroyed. Was there a bit
39:44
Speaker 4: of misinformation in some of that reporting, because that doesn't
39:48
Speaker 4: seem to be the case when you look at it now,
39:50
Speaker 4: when you look at the territory that Russia has gained,
39:55
Speaker 4: and the fact that they're not wanting to come to
39:59
Speaker 4: the t and make any sort of major concessions.
40:03
Speaker 14: Rita. I think when the war started, the Russians believed
40:06
Speaker 14: they were going to march straight to Kiev, you know,
40:09
Speaker 14: that they would have no problem, they would basically occupy
40:12
Speaker 14: Ukraine and you know, take over a large section of
40:15
Speaker 14: that country. That didn't happen. The Ukrainians put up a
40:18
Speaker 14: much stiffer resistance than most people expected, and so a
40:22
Speaker 14: lot of people were cheering on the Ukrainians saying, this
40:25
Speaker 14: is great, you know, the Russians are being stemied, and
40:28
Speaker 14: that's all true. However, the reality is that the Russians
40:31
Speaker 14: have taken and held that eastern portion of Ukraine, which frankly,
40:37
Speaker 14: historically was often a part of Russia and is largely
40:40
Speaker 14: Russian speaking. They've taken that part of Ukraine, they've held it.
40:44
Speaker 14: The Ukrainians have not been able to take it back.
40:47
Speaker 14: And my guess, Rita, is that in any permanent solution,
40:52
Speaker 14: the Russians are going to hang on to the territory
40:55
Speaker 14: that they have taken militarily.
40:59
Speaker 3: John Henderreich, thank you so much for your time tonight.
41:02
Speaker 14: Great to be with you.
41:03
Speaker 4: Rita Still to Come claims that Megan Markle has been
41:07
Speaker 4: helping herself to dresses.
41:09
Speaker 15: D D.
41:10
Speaker 3: Done Levy, It's up next, welcome back.
41:22
Speaker 4: Joining me now is broadcasting legend? D D Done Levy,
41:27
Speaker 4: d D.
41:27
Speaker 3: Let's talk about JLO.
41:29
Speaker 4: Jennifer Lopez, she just calls to stir on social media
41:33
Speaker 4: after clips off her performing at a billionaire's wedding in
41:36
Speaker 4: India began circulating.
41:39
Speaker 3: Have a look stupid sore shuit.
41:59
Speaker 16: Now.
41:59
Speaker 4: People have criticized her lack of cultural sensitivity. Some have
42:03
Speaker 4: said her outfits resembled that of a stripper, But didie,
42:07
Speaker 4: I'm more concerned about the terrible sound the girl cannot sing.
42:12
Speaker 3: Turn up the backing tape. That's what I would be
42:14
Speaker 3: asking for.
42:16
Speaker 16: Well, clearly she wasn't booked for her vocal abilities.
42:19
Speaker 3: She was booked for the way she looks. Look.
42:22
Speaker 16: I think all these people who are outraged on social media,
42:25
Speaker 16: it was a private event, so you've had to go
42:27
Speaker 16: out of your way to get outraged, so you can
42:29
Speaker 16: be quiet. I'm not the hugest fan of j LO
42:33
Speaker 16: waggling her bits about she's showing us that she's fifty six,
42:36
Speaker 16: but she's.
42:37
Speaker 3: Still got it.
42:37
Speaker 16: Yeah, well done girl. But the couple who were getting married,
42:42
Speaker 16: they paid two million dollars for the privilege of having her.
42:45
Speaker 3: Their dress that way. I don't think they expected.
42:48
Speaker 16: Her to turn up wearing overalls and gum boots, so
42:51
Speaker 16: they got what they're paid for. They don't look offended
42:54
Speaker 16: at all.
42:55
Speaker 3: And I can't actually.
42:57
Speaker 14: See what the outrage is about.
43:00
Speaker 3: Well, I don't know.
43:00
Speaker 4: I don't know if you should be just when you've
43:03
Speaker 4: got a bride in the room and it's it's a
43:06
Speaker 4: party for the happy couple. I don't know if you
43:09
Speaker 4: should be upstaging the bride. So that's possibly the faux pa.
43:15
Speaker 16: Everyone knows what j Loo looks like, what she does like,
43:18
Speaker 16: if the bride didn't know that before, or a skirt.
43:22
Speaker 4: I mean, we don't all need to see. We're not
43:24
Speaker 4: her gynecologists. We can just leave some things a mystery.
43:29
Speaker 3: Now. Last week, Netflix.
43:32
Speaker 4: Dropped the trailer for Meghan Markles holiday specials. I know
43:35
Speaker 4: you can't wait for that. You can see Meghan decorating
43:38
Speaker 4: her home in a green gown, and eagle eyed viewers
43:42
Speaker 4: notice this was the same green gown she wore during
43:45
Speaker 4: a twenty twenty.
43:46
Speaker 3: Two photo shoot for Variety, and.
43:50
Speaker 4: As sources told Page six that Meghan allegedly took this gown,
43:55
Speaker 4: which retails for sixteen hundred and ninety five dollars.
43:58
Speaker 3: Us did she allegedly took the dress from the shoot
44:03
Speaker 3: without asking. Surely that can't be right.
44:06
Speaker 16: Surely, well, it could be right, But I also am
44:11
Speaker 16: leaning more towards the fact that it's wrong. I'm ninety
44:13
Speaker 16: nine percent sure that she hasn't done anything wrong here.
44:16
Speaker 16: And it's rare for me to defend Meghan Markle.
44:19
Speaker 3: But she's crafty.
44:21
Speaker 16: I don't think she's stupid. I don't think she would
44:23
Speaker 16: be dumb enough to steal something. And also it's not
44:25
Speaker 16: unheard or for celebrities when they do a photo shoot
44:27
Speaker 16: and they're dressed for it to be offered those garments,
44:30
Speaker 16: or to pay a nominal fee for the more to
44:32
Speaker 16: even be gifted them.
44:34
Speaker 3: And also I.
44:35
Speaker 16: Want to credit her for recycling. I mean, I like
44:38
Speaker 16: it when you put a dress away for a few
44:39
Speaker 16: years and get it out again and hope everyone's forgotten it.
44:42
Speaker 16: That didn't happen in this case. But I think she
44:44
Speaker 16: actually deserves credit for re wearing something and you know,
44:48
Speaker 16: burning it after wearing it once.
44:50
Speaker 3: Well, I don't know, Dannie.
44:52
Speaker 4: I'm giving you an official warning for praising Meghan Michael
44:56
Speaker 4: on this program.
44:57
Speaker 3: So it's just as an official warning. Nine couple mores
45:01
Speaker 3: and you'll be banned. Yeah, okay, and you'll be banned.
45:05
Speaker 4: Okay, you are free to love on Megan as much
45:09
Speaker 4: as you like. But let's talk about Home Alone. It's
45:13
Speaker 4: a Christmas movie, a favorite for families and the Starcaulli Coulkin,
45:18
Speaker 4: who played Kevin McAllister in the nineteen ninety holiday classic,
45:23
Speaker 4: he wants to have another sequel. He's raised the idea
45:26
Speaker 4: of him being either a widower or a divorced.
45:30
Speaker 3: See he said, I'm raising a kid and all that stuff.
45:32
Speaker 4: I'm working really hard and I'm not really paying enough
45:35
Speaker 4: attention and the kid is kind of getting miffed at me,
45:38
Speaker 4: and then I.
45:39
Speaker 3: Get locked out. Did it could work?
45:42
Speaker 4: I mean, people love to revisit these classics and reimagine them.
45:49
Speaker 16: I actually disagree that it could work because in the
45:52
Speaker 16: original movie, Kevin was a very clever kid and the
45:55
Speaker 16: two robbers who are trying to get him were just
45:57
Speaker 16: a pair of numb skulls. So are we supposed to
45:59
Speaker 16: believe that Kevin as an adult is dumber than his
46:03
Speaker 16: own child, so the basic premise of it wouldn't work.
46:06
Speaker 16: The really terrifying thing about this story is that Mccauney
46:09
Speaker 16: Colcom was speaking about this at some sort of a
46:13
Speaker 16: tour he's doing to Mark get this thirty fifth anniversary
46:17
Speaker 16: of The Home Alone Mavie coming out.
46:19
Speaker 3: I don't know where that's still terrible.
46:22
Speaker 4: Obviously it came out before I was born, but you
46:25
Speaker 4: know that's let's move on.
46:27
Speaker 3: Rebel Wilson, Australian actress Rebel.
46:30
Speaker 4: Wilson, has been accused of orchestrating a smear campaign against
46:35
Speaker 4: one of the producers of her directorial debut film, The
46:39
Speaker 4: deb It's alleged Wilson was behind a series of websites
46:43
Speaker 4: where her producer Amanda Ghost, is painted as a sex
46:47
Speaker 4: trafficker and described as the Indian Gilain Maxwell.
46:51
Speaker 3: Now, Rebel Wilson sat down with sixty.
46:54
Speaker 4: Minutes Australian sixty Minutes and she denied the claims.
46:58
Speaker 3: Have a look.
46:59
Speaker 13: I don't know whether those texts are real. I don't
47:01
Speaker 13: know where they came from. I read the websites. I
47:05
Speaker 13: think it was very interesting what was on there, and
47:09
Speaker 13: I might have gossiped about it to a couple of friends.
47:12
Speaker 15: But well, the allegation is that you did more than that,
47:15
Speaker 15: that you actually pointed your followers on Instagram to those websites,
47:20
Speaker 15: that you ensure that associates of Amanda Ghost were made
47:25
Speaker 15: aware of the websites that you posted on the deb Instagram.
47:30
Speaker 13: I don't have any memory of doing that.
47:32
Speaker 15: No, you don't remember it. But is it possible that
47:39
Speaker 15: you did that?
47:40
Speaker 3: I don't believe so.
47:41
Speaker 14: No.
47:42
Speaker 3: I do wonder why she agreed to this interview.
47:47
Speaker 4: I don't think she looks great. How do you see it?
47:52
Speaker 4: Because I don't know. If I was advising her, I
47:57
Speaker 4: would say, do not say a word and just ignore
48:00
Speaker 4: this and hope it goes away as quick as it
48:03
Speaker 4: as it arrived, exactly.
48:05
Speaker 16: And I do think with a lot of legal cases,
48:08
Speaker 16: the best thing, and a lot of lawyers will say
48:10
Speaker 16: that's the best thing to do is just shut up
48:12
Speaker 16: and let the thing go through court. And if you're
48:14
Speaker 16: confident in your standpoint or where you stand in the case,
48:18
Speaker 16: then you would be quiet and let it just play
48:20
Speaker 16: through the courts. Whereas we've seen Rebel up on Instagram,
48:23
Speaker 16: she's got about eleven million followers, and she's released statements
48:26
Speaker 16: on there. She's now done this sixty minutes interview the websites.
48:30
Speaker 16: We don't know who was behind those, but it seems
48:33
Speaker 16: that there's a lot of information coming from her side
48:36
Speaker 16: of things.
48:37
Speaker 3: There are two separate cases.
48:38
Speaker 16: There's this one involving three producers and then a separate
48:41
Speaker 16: one involving one of the actresses from the thing. And
48:43
Speaker 16: we have to be very careful because these cases are
48:45
Speaker 16: still yet to come before the court.
48:47
Speaker 3: But I'm a little like you.
48:48
Speaker 16: I'm a little skeptical about the fact that Rebel has
48:51
Speaker 16: got so much to say ahead of it being tested
48:54
Speaker 16: in a court of law.
48:56
Speaker 4: And we're going to be particularly careful because Rebel Wilson
48:59
Speaker 4: is also litigious at a couple of big wins over
49:04
Speaker 4: the years. So we'll let the courts decide who did
49:08
Speaker 4: what DD done.
49:09
Speaker 3: Levy.
49:09
Speaker 4: Thank you so much for your time tonight, and that's
49:12
Speaker 4: it from me. Up next, it's Newsnight. I'll see you
49:15
Speaker 4: tomorrow night at eleven with Douglas Murray.
