Speaker 1: On Scolus Oscodia.
0:04
Speaker 2: This is the Reader Panalty Show.
0:08
Speaker 3: Good evening and welcome to the Rita Paney Show.
0:10
Speaker 4: Coming up tonight, unrest in the streets of Melbourne as
0:13
Speaker 4: anti Israeli protesters target a Melbourne synagogue. Dan Wild will
0:18
Speaker 4: be with me shortly to discuss the Great Josh Hammer
0:21
Speaker 4: on the cases against President elect Donald Trump collapsing. Also
0:25
Speaker 4: joining me tonight's seventy Bastion on the proposed social media
0:29
Speaker 4: bands for under sixteen. They'll be able to access hardcore porn,
0:35
Speaker 4: but not Instagram and x. You will not believe how
0:39
Speaker 4: utterly incoherent this legislation is and Left is losing it
0:42
Speaker 4: again features the work of the ladies of the view.
0:46
Speaker 1: We lost the election. Wait a minute, we lost the election.
0:50
Speaker 1: We're miserable. Half of this country is miserable, and let's
0:53
Speaker 1: just tell the truth.
0:55
Speaker 5: We hate that he won.
0:56
Speaker 4: We hate but first joining me now is Deputy Executive
1:00
Speaker 4: Director of the Institute of Public Affairs Dan Wild. Dan
1:04
Speaker 4: New South Wales faces potential blackouts this week, with temperatures
1:08
Speaker 4: in Sydney tip to reach thirty nine degrees.
1:11
Speaker 3: Australian energy market operator.
1:13
Speaker 4: Is issued a lack of reserve warning for New South
1:17
Speaker 4: Wales from three point thirty to seven thirty PM, flagging
1:22
Speaker 4: that the energy deficit could be so severe it may
1:26
Speaker 4: trigger intentional power outages in parts of Sydney. Dan We've
1:31
Speaker 4: got the min's government telling people to run their air
1:34
Speaker 4: conditioners at warmer temperatures.
1:36
Speaker 3: To use less power.
1:39
Speaker 4: This is what we were warned about, that if you
1:42
Speaker 4: go down this road, you're going to have blackouts, intentional blackouts.
1:49
Speaker 6: Unbelievable.
1:50
Speaker 7: You know, for this to be happening in the year
1:52
Speaker 7: twenty twenty four in Australia is a result of policy decisions.
1:57
Speaker 6: All of this is avoidable. We've been talking about this.
2:01
Speaker 7: We've been talking about this ever since Scott Morrison signed
2:04
Speaker 7: Australia up to net zero, without any debate, without any discussion,
2:08
Speaker 7: without any analysis. We were warning that we will have
2:11
Speaker 7: blackouts in Australia. When you radically and rapidly decommission based
2:15
Speaker 7: low power from coal and you put renewables into the system,
2:19
Speaker 7: a weather dependent energy system, you are going to have
2:22
Speaker 7: blackouts and you are going to have astronomical price rises.
2:26
Speaker 6: Which is what we are seeing.
2:28
Speaker 7: This is a monumental failure of leadership over many years
2:31
Speaker 7: on both sides of politics who continue to go down
2:35
Speaker 7: the net zero path.
2:37
Speaker 6: You cannot run a nation on net zero.
2:40
Speaker 7: Humans have spent hundreds and hundreds of years getting out
2:45
Speaker 7: of an energy system that relies on Mother Nature to
2:48
Speaker 7: one that is more reliable, and now we're going backwards.
2:52
Speaker 7: This is a wake up call to all leaders to
2:55
Speaker 7: urgently stop the path that we're on.
2:59
Speaker 6: Now.
2:59
Speaker 4: We're in a per capita recession right now. It's something
3:03
Speaker 4: we mentioned on this program frequently, and the Australian reports
3:07
Speaker 4: today that this is the longest per capita recession we
3:10
Speaker 4: have had in the past fifty years. Economists are warning
3:14
Speaker 4: that this trend will continue. But Dan, we've got Treasurerer
3:18
Speaker 4: Jim Chalmers defending the Albanese government's record on economic management.
3:24
Speaker 4: How can he do that given these numbers and the
3:27
Speaker 4: numbers showing that Australian households are suffering the worst decline
3:32
Speaker 4: in living standards since the nineteen fifties.
3:36
Speaker 7: Well, it's good to see the Canabra bubble is finally
3:38
Speaker 7: caught up to this. I mean, we've been talking about
3:40
Speaker 7: this for months on end, that we're in a per
3:42
Speaker 7: capita recession and it's the longest since Whitlam. I mean,
3:46
Speaker 7: we've the IPA has pointed that out, you know, six
3:48
Speaker 7: months ago, that this is what's happening. So finally the
3:51
Speaker 7: mainstream media and the establishment and their favorite economists have
3:54
Speaker 7: finally caught up to the reality, which is that mass
3:57
Speaker 7: migration makes Australians poorer.
4:00
Speaker 6: What's happening. The only growth strategy of this.
4:02
Speaker 7: Government is population growth, not productivity growth. And as you know, Reto, yes,
4:07
Speaker 7: of course, if you bring more people into an economy,
4:10
Speaker 7: the size of the economic pie will get bigger. But
4:13
Speaker 7: the slice of that economic pie that every Australian is
4:15
Speaker 7: getting is getting smaller.
4:18
Speaker 6: And they've got no plan for.
4:19
Speaker 7: How to boost our productivity growth and instead doubling down
4:24
Speaker 7: on this failed migration strategy. So look, I think the
4:27
Speaker 7: government's got a real problem here. They don't have any
4:30
Speaker 7: way of growing the economy. This is a redistributionist government,
4:34
Speaker 7: not a growth government. So I think Jim Chalmers has
4:37
Speaker 7: been found, as we head to my EFO which will
4:39
Speaker 7: be coming out next month, has been found to not
4:42
Speaker 7: have any meaningful economic policies of your sleeve.
4:46
Speaker 4: If you want to know what Australia is going to
4:48
Speaker 4: look like if we had ten years of the Urban
4:51
Speaker 4: Easy government.
4:52
Speaker 3: Then look at Victoria.
4:54
Speaker 4: The state is broke, state taxes soaring, businesses are fleeing,
5:00
Speaker 4: and taxpayers are paying for Labour's massive infrastructure projects which
5:04
Speaker 4: have blown out by over forty billion and county.
5:08
Speaker 3: Just have a look at these three projects.
5:09
Speaker 4: There's plenty of others I could quote, but Melbourne Metro
5:13
Speaker 4: it's jumped up. The blowout there by four point seven billion.
5:20
Speaker 4: We've got the Northeast Link, the blowout there is ten
5:23
Speaker 4: point three billion, and the Westgate Tunnel is three point
5:28
Speaker 4: nine billion.
5:29
Speaker 3: Dan, you look.
5:31
Speaker 4: At how these projects are traveling and you can understand
5:36
Speaker 4: why the state is in the financial peril it's in.
5:41
Speaker 6: Well, that's exactly right.
5:42
Speaker 7: Victoria has been driven into the ground by a decade
5:45
Speaker 7: of bad policy decisions. And you know, they can't just
5:48
Speaker 7: blame it on COVID. This happened before COVID, has been
5:51
Speaker 7: happening after COVID, and the reality is that every single
5:54
Speaker 7: rock that you look under there's more debt. They keep
5:57
Speaker 7: discovering more debt every single day. I don't know whether
6:00
Speaker 7: anybody in the Victorian government actually knows the true state
6:03
Speaker 7: of Victoria's underlying fiscal position. It is now becoming increasingly
6:08
Speaker 7: apparent that the rest of Australia is going to have
6:12
Speaker 7: to bail out Victoria. Unlike in the Kennet era when
6:16
Speaker 7: there were similar issues in the early nineteen nineties, when
6:19
Speaker 7: Victoria was in a deep recession and Kennet largely restructured
6:22
Speaker 7: the economy sold off the assets to pay down the debt. Well,
6:25
Speaker 7: there's almost no assets left to sell off, so there's
6:29
Speaker 7: real problems. And now this government in Victoria is simply
6:31
Speaker 7: increasing taxes. It's the highest taxing government in the nation,
6:35
Speaker 7: the highest debt government in the nation, the highest spending
6:37
Speaker 7: government in the nation. And this is a warning to
6:40
Speaker 7: everyone else in Australia do not go down the path
6:44
Speaker 7: of Victoria, otherwise you will see significant economic calamity, businesses leaving,
6:50
Speaker 7: people leaving. It's going to take at least a decade
6:53
Speaker 7: to restructure and fix the mess the Victorians have now
6:56
Speaker 7: been left with.
7:00
Speaker 4: Day in Melbourne, let's turn our attention to a pro
7:02
Speaker 4: Palestinian protest that targeted a synagogue in Corfield last night
7:07
Speaker 4: while a conference on Israel's challenges and Opportunities in the Middle.
7:12
Speaker 3: East was being held inside.
7:14
Speaker 4: The locals did not take too kindly to that this
7:17
Speaker 4: is an area with a sizeable Jewish population, and they
7:20
Speaker 4: came out waving Israeli and Australian flags. Dan specialists police
7:37
Speaker 4: circle the pro Palestinian protesters who were holding signs saying
7:42
Speaker 4: things like nothing is more anti Semitic than Zionism. This
7:47
Speaker 4: is not what you want to see in the streets
7:49
Speaker 4: of Melbourne or any Australian city.
7:53
Speaker 7: Well, we're losing our country, reader, because our migration program
7:57
Speaker 7: has failed. You know, Australia is a lot of umping
8:00
Speaker 7: ground for foreign conflicts. We are a welcoming nation and
8:03
Speaker 7: a tolerant nation, but that depends on reciprocity and people
8:07
Speaker 7: coming here who share our values and tolerance is a
8:11
Speaker 7: fundamental Australian value. And plainly there are a number of
8:15
Speaker 7: those who have migrated here in recent times who do
8:18
Speaker 7: not share those values, and we have to really look
8:20
Speaker 7: at our migration system and say, well, how do these
8:22
Speaker 7: people get into our country. There's far more worthy people
8:26
Speaker 7: who want to be here and want to make a contribution,
8:29
Speaker 7: who should be at the front of the queue. And frankly,
8:31
Speaker 7: if you're going to engage in violence and antagonism towards
8:33
Speaker 7: one group of Australians based on their religion, then you
8:36
Speaker 7: don't have a place in our nation. It's as simple
8:38
Speaker 7: as that. What worries merit is that many of the
8:40
Speaker 7: people that are engaging in these so called protests are citizens.
8:44
Speaker 7: They're actually citizens of our country, so they can't really
8:47
Speaker 7: be deported. Yes, you can look at stripping their citizenship,
8:50
Speaker 7: but that's an open question from a legal perspective whether
8:52
Speaker 7: you can.
8:52
Speaker 6: Do that or not.
8:53
Speaker 7: So look, we've got a real issue on our hands,
8:55
Speaker 7: and so far our political leaders haven't been willing to
8:58
Speaker 7: do the hard yards actually talk about the fact that
9:01
Speaker 7: there are many citizens in our country that have these
9:03
Speaker 7: intolerant views and what are we going to do about
9:06
Speaker 7: it as a community.
9:09
Speaker 4: Well, further on that, in Sydney and Liverpool, a tattoo
9:13
Speaker 4: artist there says he's not supportive of terrorists, but he
9:18
Speaker 4: has been offering free tattoos of dead HAZBULLA leader hasan
9:23
Speaker 4: Nazarella for a month after being inundated with requests.
9:29
Speaker 3: What do you make of this, Dan.
9:32
Speaker 7: Well, it's exactly what we're talking about. I mean, this
9:35
Speaker 7: kind of behavior has been condoned and enabled by lack
9:38
Speaker 7: of political leadership. I mean from day one of the
9:41
Speaker 7: October seven attacks. We've had political leadership in Australia that
9:45
Speaker 7: has been lacking, certainly from the federal government. I think
9:48
Speaker 7: Chris Min's in New South Wales has been a bit
9:50
Speaker 7: better on this, but I don't think he's been as
9:53
Speaker 7: outspoken as he potentially could be.
9:55
Speaker 6: You know.
9:56
Speaker 7: So we've got a real social cohesion problem. There's no
9:58
Speaker 7: denying it anymore. And mainstream Australians look at this behavior
10:01
Speaker 7: and they say, why, you know, what has happened to
10:04
Speaker 7: the country that I live in? What is the country?
10:06
Speaker 7: What has happened to the country that I moved to where?
10:09
Speaker 7: You know, ten years ago, twenty years ago, this kind
10:11
Speaker 7: of behavior was unthinkable. Now it seems to be happening routinely.
10:15
Speaker 7: So you know, like I say, we've got a long
10:17
Speaker 7: way to go as a community to fix these really
10:19
Speaker 7: difficult issues. A good place to start is to reduce
10:22
Speaker 7: the size of the program, fix the intake, and then
10:26
Speaker 7: we can deal with the issues that we have on
10:27
Speaker 7: the ground.
10:30
Speaker 3: Now.
10:30
Speaker 4: Finally, Dan, I will be speaking to Stephanie Bastian about
10:33
Speaker 4: this shortly, but I wanted to get your take on
10:36
Speaker 4: government officials admitting that there's nothing in Labors proposed social
10:41
Speaker 4: media bands for under sixteens that would stop the Safety
10:45
Speaker 4: Commissioner from requiring digital IDB used to verify the age
10:51
Speaker 4: of users.
10:51
Speaker 3: And that's all of us. Have a listen, we've got
10:55
Speaker 3: to pass a load.
10:55
Speaker 8: Once I go through the Senate, that's it. I don't
10:57
Speaker 8: get to touch it again. Does know there anything in
10:59
Speaker 8: the law that says that, that says.
11:01
Speaker 9: The saidec quis nothing on miss law that says that.
11:03
Speaker 8: Okay, thank you.
11:04
Speaker 3: This is terribly worrying.
11:07
Speaker 4: This seems to be going through at record speed. We
11:11
Speaker 4: know that many in the Coalition are favoring these bands.
11:15
Speaker 4: I think there's a lot of misunderstanding about how these
11:18
Speaker 4: platforms work, how they're used, and it is a backdoor
11:23
Speaker 4: way of introducing digital IDs, something that has been rejected
11:28
Speaker 4: by the Australian people, something that's wildly unpopular and we
11:32
Speaker 4: did not.
11:33
Speaker 3: Vote for that.
11:36
Speaker 6: That's right, reader.
11:37
Speaker 7: I think Senator Canavan and his colleagues such as Senator
11:39
Speaker 7: Antique have played a vital role in debate here. As
11:43
Speaker 7: you rightly say, it's record time. That less than twenty
11:46
Speaker 7: four hour consultation period is frankly absurd. There's these major
11:50
Speaker 7: issues around digital identification and privacy many other issues.
11:53
Speaker 6: Besides.
11:54
Speaker 7: The Safety Commissioner used to be the Children's e safety Commissioner,
11:58
Speaker 7: you remember, and now she's engaging in these global crusades
12:01
Speaker 7: around censorship, so we don't have any confidence in that office.
12:05
Speaker 7: So yes, I fully understand and respect the concerns of
12:08
Speaker 7: parents about how kids interact with social media, but we
12:12
Speaker 7: need to have a proper debate, not a rushed twenty
12:14
Speaker 7: four hour consultation process which is not dignifying this issue
12:18
Speaker 7: at all.
12:21
Speaker 4: And yeah, absolutely right about these Safety Commissioner. She has
12:24
Speaker 4: continuously politicized that office. It was supposed to be about
12:28
Speaker 4: the protection of children, but he has morphed into something
12:31
Speaker 4: entirely different. Dan Wild, thanks for your time tonight. Let's
12:36
Speaker 4: talk more about this social media ban for under sixteens
12:40
Speaker 4: with my next guest, Women's Forum Australia head of Advocacy,
12:43
Speaker 4: Stephanie Bastian. Stephanie, let's listen to Matt Canavan again questioning
12:48
Speaker 4: ACMO officials incentive hearings on whether the government social media
12:53
Speaker 4: ban for under sixteens applies to pornography platforms like pornhub.
12:58
Speaker 3: You will not believe this interact.
13:00
Speaker 8: But if YouTube's covered. I mean, there's a video sharing
13:03
Speaker 8: for non explicit content, video content. Well, wouldn't pornhub be
13:07
Speaker 8: cover it's porn covered.
13:08
Speaker 5: I think they have very different purposes.
13:11
Speaker 8: Explain that to me.
13:12
Speaker 5: I think, sorry, I think this is.
13:16
Speaker 9: Under the definition. We wouldn't see porn hub as falling
13:19
Speaker 9: within scope. It's not.
13:23
Speaker 8: Just explain to me in simple terms, how if YouTube
13:26
Speaker 8: is covered, how would another video sharing service with explicit
13:30
Speaker 8: material Medley not be covered?
13:34
Speaker 9: So against center. It comes back to the commitment that
13:39
Speaker 9: the government's already made in relations And I'm not asking
13:41
Speaker 9: for a commitment. I'm asking in the law. We're going
13:43
Speaker 9: to pass the law, not government's commitments. So in the law,
13:45
Speaker 9: how are these two services different? I think different and
13:49
Speaker 9: porn hub up completely different.
13:51
Speaker 8: I agree with that, But how are they differently defined
13:53
Speaker 8: in the law?
13:56
Speaker 4: Stephanie, A fourteen year old or thirteen year old can
14:00
Speaker 4: access hardcore porn but not use x or Instagram, even
14:05
Speaker 4: with parental permission. That can't be on social media, but
14:08
Speaker 4: they can see this extreme pornographic material.
14:13
Speaker 3: Does this seem sane to.
14:15
Speaker 10: You, well, good evening reader, this is an absolute joke.
14:21
Speaker 10: This bill is seriously flawed and it actually doesn't tackle
14:24
Speaker 10: any of the issues that are facing children. We've just
14:27
Speaker 10: looked at that clip on pornography. YouTubers banned, but porn
14:31
Speaker 10: tubers are porn hubbers not, even though we know there
14:35
Speaker 10: are issues with kids and sexual assault rising due to
14:37
Speaker 10: their access. We know that kids are being taught harmful
14:41
Speaker 10: gender ideology at school that's resulting in them taking drugs
14:45
Speaker 10: and undergoing surgeries that are irreversible the government won't investigate.
14:49
Speaker 10: We know that little girls are being exploited by their
14:52
Speaker 10: parents's influences and during followings of predatory men. There's nothing
14:57
Speaker 10: in this bill that tackles that, or deals with that,
14:59
Speaker 10: or prevents that from happening. This bill is a way
15:02
Speaker 10: for the government to look like it's doing something when
15:05
Speaker 10: it's not doing anything at all to deal with these
15:07
Speaker 10: issues that are harming children. It's a total cop out,
15:12
Speaker 10: and it's a.
15:13
Speaker 4: Total cop out from coalition MPs who are just going
15:16
Speaker 4: along with this because it might test well in focus groups.
15:19
Speaker 4: If you just take a minute to scrutinize the detail,
15:23
Speaker 4: it all falls apart.
15:25
Speaker 3: One of the questions.
15:26
Speaker 4: I don't know if you have an answer to this,
15:27
Speaker 4: but how's this policy going to be implemented without all
15:31
Speaker 4: of us submitting to age verification digital ID or providing
15:36
Speaker 4: some other form of age verification to access social media.
15:41
Speaker 4: How's a sixty year old going to prove they're over
15:44
Speaker 4: sixteen so they can be on these platforms.
15:49
Speaker 10: Well, this is a question the Government hasn't even answered,
15:52
Speaker 10: and in fact it's a reason why the cross Bench
15:54
Speaker 10: and the Coalition should be opposing it, one of many.
15:57
Speaker 10: I mean, this is a great concern. What about elder
16:00
Speaker 10: people who can barely log into their phones you alone
16:03
Speaker 10: get IDA uploaded. This is a way for them to
16:05
Speaker 10: connect with their families.
16:07
Speaker 6: There are a number of.
16:08
Speaker 10: Issues with this bill, including security issues and risks, and
16:11
Speaker 10: the government hasn't responded to them at all. You can't
16:14
Speaker 10: just pass a bill and say we'll work it out.
16:16
Speaker 10: At the end, you could be handing more power and
16:19
Speaker 10: more privacy over to government departments where they're not entitled
16:23
Speaker 10: to have it. This issue should be resolved before it's passed.
16:27
Speaker 10: I mean, quite frankly, this bill should be blocked.
16:31
Speaker 3: It absolutely should. It is underdone.
16:34
Speaker 4: There's scant detail about how it will be implemented, and
16:38
Speaker 4: it seems to be if that crucial part has been
16:42
Speaker 4: handballed to the office of the e Safety Commissioner, and
16:45
Speaker 4: that in itself is a massive worry. Now moving along,
16:49
Speaker 4: jaguars Woke rebrand is not going so well. They are
16:54
Speaker 4: being mocked far and wide for this effort. The mockery
17:14
Speaker 4: has extended to spoofs of the ad, which are actually,
17:19
Speaker 4: got to say, far more innovative and clever than the
17:21
Speaker 4: real thing.
17:40
Speaker 3: Sephanie.
17:41
Speaker 4: Jaguar's managing director, Rodent Glover, has called criticism of their
17:46
Speaker 4: ad vile and a blaze of intolerance.
17:49
Speaker 3: But isn't this just people.
17:51
Speaker 4: Who are sick of this sort of activism, corporate activism
17:55
Speaker 4: masquerading as an innovative commercial. There's nothing innovative about.
17:59
Speaker 10: It, absolutely not. The beast has gone out of their branding.
18:06
Speaker 10: I think people are sick of woke being rammed down
18:09
Speaker 10: their throats by these big corporates. I mean, this clip
18:12
Speaker 10: is something out of the Hunger Games. It's quite sad
18:16
Speaker 10: because once branded a masculine car, it's been totally neutralized
18:20
Speaker 10: or feminized whatever you like, which I think is really
18:22
Speaker 10: symptomatic of the culture going for today that the Left
18:25
Speaker 10: are pushing into our culture today, and I think that's
18:28
Speaker 10: very sad. For the legacy of the car as well.
18:30
Speaker 4: Just finally, Stephanie, was International Day for the Elimination of
18:34
Speaker 4: Violence against Women yesterday and your organization, Women's Forum Australia,
18:39
Speaker 4: launched a campaign last night to restore sex base rights
18:43
Speaker 4: in law and policies across state and federal jurisdictions. Tell
18:48
Speaker 4: me about this campaign and how people can support you.
18:51
Speaker 10: Well, we've launched this campaign because we need both state
18:55
Speaker 10: and federal legislators to tackle the issues that are harming
18:59
Speaker 10: women in policies. It's not just legislation, it's policies in schools,
19:03
Speaker 10: it's policies in prisons. It's state and federal legislation that
19:08
Speaker 10: needs to be amended, from the Employment Act to Discrimination Act.
19:12
Speaker 10: So this is the starting point for collective action. We
19:16
Speaker 10: encourage people to get onto our website to sign up,
19:18
Speaker 10: to follow the campaign, to sign the petition you can
19:21
Speaker 10: find at www dot Women's Forum Australa dot org, slash
19:25
Speaker 10: xx and really get involved because we need this for
19:28
Speaker 10: the future of our women and girls.
19:32
Speaker 3: Stephanie Bastian, thanks for your time. Still to come.
19:35
Speaker 4: Lefties losing it, plus the cases against Presidents elect Donald
19:39
Speaker 4: Trump are collapsing. Is the law fair over Josh Hammer
19:43
Speaker 4: as the details.
19:54
Speaker 3: Welcome back.
19:54
Speaker 4: Now it's time for lefties losing it. It's time to
19:57
Speaker 4: check in with the ladies of the view. And today
20:00
Speaker 4: we hear this colonel of truth from Joy behar the
20:05
Speaker 4: haters and they are miserable.
20:08
Speaker 2: Now what's in the air?
20:08
Speaker 1: What's we lost the election? Wait a minute, we lost
20:13
Speaker 1: the election. We're miserable. Half of this country is miserable.
20:17
Speaker 1: And let's just tell the truth. We hate that he won.
20:20
Speaker 11: We hate.
20:23
Speaker 1: And everybody's height and crazy young.
20:26
Speaker 3: Now they are miserable.
20:28
Speaker 4: Yes, we know, we know that. Not much Joy on
20:30
Speaker 4: the view set. Now listen, here is Joy unloads on
20:34
Speaker 4: a man whose audience is far, far greater than hers,
20:39
Speaker 4: Joe Rogan.
20:40
Speaker 3: She's upset about dragons.
20:42
Speaker 1: We went from water cronkite basically to this guy, Joe Rogan,
20:46
Speaker 1: who believes in dragons.
20:49
Speaker 3: I checked it.
20:49
Speaker 1: He believed he believes in dragon, Yes I did. And
20:53
Speaker 1: he also thinks that the dragons, like I guess, like
20:56
Speaker 1: dinosaur type type of animal.
20:58
Speaker 4: Oh, dear for the record, because you're never going to
21:01
Speaker 4: get straight backs from the view. Joe Rogan doesn't believe
21:04
Speaker 4: there were once dragons that breathe fire like in the
21:08
Speaker 4: Game of Thrones. He was talking about dragon dinosaur type
21:11
Speaker 4: of animals that fly, something wildlife biologists.
21:15
Speaker 3: Have speculated about.
21:16
Speaker 4: But back to the view and their delusions of honesty
21:20
Speaker 4: and accuracy.
21:22
Speaker 1: But I think that that's why people like our shell
21:24
Speaker 1: because they know that we are checked by ABC.
21:26
Speaker 2: News, by everybody.
21:28
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, if we're wrong, we have you know,
21:31
Speaker 1: the legal note here.
21:35
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, but Sonny reading out frequent legal notes when
21:39
Speaker 4: people threaten to sue is not the same thing as
21:42
Speaker 4: being accurate. Now to an all mighty meltdown from Axious
21:47
Speaker 4: CEO and co founder Jim vander Hay, this rant about
21:52
Speaker 4: Elon Musk and X is incredible for its sheer, audacity
21:57
Speaker 4: and self delusion. He really think things people lost trust
22:01
Speaker 4: in the media because of X or some nefarious force.
22:05
Speaker 3: No, Jim, it was because.
22:07
Speaker 4: Folks were sick of being lied to by the leftist media.
22:11
Speaker 12: Elon Musk sits on Twitter every day or X today
22:15
Speaker 12: saying like we are the media, you are the media.
22:19
Speaker 12: My message to Elon Musk is both, you're not the media.
22:23
Speaker 12: What we do, what journalists do. What you did in Mississippi,
22:28
Speaker 12: what el Jazeira does in the Middle East, like, being
22:31
Speaker 12: a reporter's hard, really hard. You have to care, you
22:37
Speaker 12: have to do the hard work, you have to skit
22:40
Speaker 12: up every single day and say I want to get
22:42
Speaker 12: to the closest approximation of the truth without any fear,
22:45
Speaker 12: without any favoritism.
22:47
Speaker 4: He is either lying or he is ignorant. There are
22:50
Speaker 4: no other options at this point. Journalists ignoring the truth
22:53
Speaker 4: and becoming political activists is what has seen trust in
22:57
Speaker 4: the media plummet to record lows. Of course, Jim's rant
23:01
Speaker 4: was applauded by the very worst examples of the leftist media,
23:06
Speaker 4: the lunatic asylum that is MSNBC, the network with a
23:10
Speaker 4: plummeting audience for the lunatic fringe, by the lunatic fringe.
23:14
Speaker 3: And yeah, of course they loved jim speech.
23:17
Speaker 12: You'd do it by doing the hard work.
23:21
Speaker 2: Yeah, come on.
23:24
Speaker 11: First of all, I've got to say, extraordinary content. It
23:29
Speaker 11: needed to be sad, it continues to need to be
23:32
Speaker 11: said when all of the garbagees flying around on social media,
23:36
Speaker 11: lying about reporters, lying about the hard work they do,
23:40
Speaker 11: lying about the hard work editors who lying about everything
23:44
Speaker 11: up and down.
23:45
Speaker 4: Joe Scarborough and the network that has done more to
23:48
Speaker 4: damage journalism's name than any other. He's still trying to
23:52
Speaker 4: gaslight the nation. At least while they're playing the victim.
23:56
Speaker 4: They've stopped pushing the Russian collusion hoax. Time to check
24:01
Speaker 4: in now on the leader of the Free world. Remember him,
24:04
Speaker 4: Joe Biden? Or is it Joe Biden's husband.
24:08
Speaker 11: I must say I followed that standard because I had
24:11
Speaker 11: no choice.
24:13
Speaker 5: I'm Joe Biden's husband.
24:15
Speaker 4: Oh dear, he's not all there is he Now to
24:18
Speaker 4: a man identifying as a woman who is wearing a
24:21
Speaker 4: lemon dress and a kafir, I wouldn't suggest doing that
24:25
Speaker 4: in Gaza or the West Bank or any Muslim majority country.
24:31
Speaker 13: Today, for the first time I dressed fully feminine in
24:38
Speaker 13: public in the broad light of day. It was to
24:45
Speaker 13: a luncheon at my work with the board of directors
24:49
Speaker 13: of the theater company I work for. I wore my
24:52
Speaker 13: lemon dress and my cathea.
24:55
Speaker 3: And something of a miracle.
24:57
Speaker 4: Folks, this is CNN bringing cold, old, hard facts to
25:01
Speaker 4: their audience. And you know, in airports and hospital waiting
25:04
Speaker 4: rooms around America, they'd be lifties losing it listening to this.
25:09
Speaker 14: Take a look here President Trump's transition net approval.
25:13
Speaker 6: You go back to November twenty sixteen.
25:14
Speaker 14: Look at this, it was just a plus one point,
25:17
Speaker 14: just a plus one point. That is well well well
25:20
Speaker 14: below the historical norm. Look at where we are today,
25:23
Speaker 14: significantly higher, plus eighteen points at seventeen points higher on
25:27
Speaker 14: the presidential transition net approval rating. The bottom line is this,
25:31
Speaker 14: If eight years ago Americans were lukewarm on Donald Trump
25:34
Speaker 14: at this particular point, they're giving him much more of
25:37
Speaker 14: the benefit of the doubt. A lot more Americans are
25:39
Speaker 14: in love with this transition. What you see eight years ago,
25:42
Speaker 14: fifty three percent of Americans were scared or concerned, the
25:45
Speaker 14: majority towards the upcoming Trump term. Look at where we
25:48
Speaker 14: are now. The shoe is on the other foot. Fifty
25:50
Speaker 14: three percent of Americans are excited or optimistic.
25:53
Speaker 5: It's flip flop.
25:55
Speaker 4: Joining me now is Newsweek's seniorators are at large and
25:58
Speaker 4: article three projects your council, Josh Hammat Josh, we will
26:02
Speaker 4: speak about the cases against Donald Trump collapsing shortly. The
26:06
Speaker 4: lawfare appears to be almost over. But first to Trump's
26:10
Speaker 4: transition team and the majority of Americans. A CNN just
26:14
Speaker 4: explained optimistic about what the next four years will bring
26:20
Speaker 4: very different situation to twenty sixteen.
26:24
Speaker 15: Yeah, I think he's up that as Donald Trump seventeen
26:27
Speaker 15: points compared to where he was at this exact time
26:29
Speaker 15: eight years ago. Look, it's no small wonder why there's
26:32
Speaker 15: multiple clauses for this retail in my estimation, First and
26:35
Speaker 15: foremost is that, you know, it's funny the Republican Party
26:37
Speaker 15: at this time, it went through an ideological phase run
26:42
Speaker 15: the time of the Tea Party Up, the Tea Party
26:45
Speaker 15: Rise twenty ten, twenty twelve. At this point, bad guy
26:48
Speaker 15: has an ideology for sure, and I don't want to
26:50
Speaker 15: downplay that. But right now, I think the Republican Party
26:53
Speaker 15: under Donald Trump is best understood as a party of
26:57
Speaker 15: the opposition, and it is the majority party. But what
26:59
Speaker 15: it does oppose is woke. It opposes wokeism, it opposes
27:03
Speaker 15: radical leftism. And at that point, when you are defined
27:05
Speaker 15: so broadly in opposition to all these various policies and
27:09
Speaker 15: moons that are so wildly unpopular, you're gonna be more
27:11
Speaker 15: popular because guess what, on all these various woke issues,
27:14
Speaker 15: whether it's the open border, whether it's biological men and
27:18
Speaker 15: women's sports, or God forbid, biological men and women's prisons,
27:21
Speaker 15: all these crazy, woke excesses. The American people are on
27:24
Speaker 15: the side of civilizational sanity, not the side of civilizational arson.
27:29
Speaker 15: I think the second reason why the Trump transition team
27:31
Speaker 15: is polling so well right now, Rita, is for the
27:34
Speaker 15: very simple reason that Donald Trump is actually appointed a
27:37
Speaker 15: lot of former Democrats to very high ranking positions, people
27:40
Speaker 15: like Rfk Junior, people like Tulci Gabbert, you know Hackey.
27:44
Speaker 15: It wasn't that long ago that Elon Musk himself was
27:46
Speaker 15: a Democrat. There, the list of Frankly goes on and on.
27:48
Speaker 5: There.
27:49
Speaker 15: Scott Besen's his current Treasury secretary once upon a time,
27:51
Speaker 15: actually works for a George Soros funded investment firm over
27:55
Speaker 15: a decade ago. So, I mean, Democrats have a lot
27:57
Speaker 15: of reason themselves to actually not necessarily be totally pessimistic
28:02
Speaker 15: about what the Donald Trump administration might bring. Again the
28:06
Speaker 15: way that I see the Donald Trump presidency in the
28:08
Speaker 15: Donald Trump political legacy. More broadly, this is not an
28:11
Speaker 15: ideological right wing agenda. It is an agenda and above
28:15
Speaker 15: all a coalition of the scene and the common sensical.
28:19
Speaker 5: That's what it is. That's why the approval ratings are so.
28:21
Speaker 4: High, and that's why I was so stupid for so
28:25
Speaker 4: many in the media and so many of his political
28:28
Speaker 4: opponents to characterize in some sort of extremists, some sort
28:32
Speaker 4: of unique threat to democracy, because as you've just explained,
28:36
Speaker 4: in fact, he's very much mainstream with his positions and
28:39
Speaker 4: his values and the sort of policies he wants to implement.
28:43
Speaker 4: And on that, I want to ask you about the
28:47
Speaker 4: angry I was going to say crazy, I'll say angry
28:50
Speaker 4: rant of Axios CEO and co founder Jim Van der
28:54
Speaker 4: Hay his defense of the media industry. Does he understand
28:59
Speaker 4: why trust in the media has plummeted to these historic lows.
29:03
Speaker 4: We've got now only one in ten Republicans trusting the media,
29:07
Speaker 4: and importantly and was pretty critical in the election, I
29:11
Speaker 4: would say only around twenty seven percent of independent voters
29:15
Speaker 4: trust the media. They've cried wolf too many times.
29:19
Speaker 15: Josh, yeah, So that's that's astonishing, right, I mean twenty
29:23
Speaker 15: seven percent of independence the one A had ten Republicans.
29:25
Speaker 15: I mean, frankly, my response to that is, you know
29:27
Speaker 15: who the heck is in that ten percent? And what
29:29
Speaker 15: are you looking at that I am not apparently seeing
29:31
Speaker 15: I say that, by the way, is I say that
29:32
Speaker 15: as someone who works for a newsweek, which which is
29:34
Speaker 15: a pretty historic brand in American journalism. But I mean,
29:37
Speaker 15: I don't understand what that one in ten people are
29:38
Speaker 15: possibly looking at there. Look, obviously the Axio CEO doesn't
29:42
Speaker 15: understand what's going on out there. This is an activist
29:44
Speaker 15: organization that is calling itself a news outlet. Unfortunately, what's
29:48
Speaker 15: happening in Axios is basically what's happening out there with
29:50
Speaker 15: anything that called itself the mainstream corporate media these days.
29:53
Speaker 15: That is why the mainstream media right now has literally
29:56
Speaker 15: its lowest approval ratings than it has ever had in
29:59
Speaker 15: the history of mainstream gallop Hu American public polling. And
30:03
Speaker 15: unless until they come to grips with the fact that
30:07
Speaker 15: they are just wildly out of touch, unless they come
30:09
Speaker 15: to grips of the fact that, for example, mass deportations
30:12
Speaker 15: are actually a winning issue for republic in something like
30:15
Speaker 15: sixty to sixty five percent of Americans said they support
30:18
Speaker 15: that agenda. You know, they're freaking out on CNN, they're
30:21
Speaker 15: freaking out on MSNBC, unless then, tell you, guys, actually
30:24
Speaker 15: realize that what you think and what the American people
30:27
Speaker 15: think are two very very different things. Unless the until
30:30
Speaker 15: they actually realize that reader, their approval ratings are only
30:33
Speaker 15: going to go further and further into the toilet.
30:34
Speaker 5: I fear.
30:37
Speaker 4: Absolutely and Axils itself, like MSNBC and many other FI
30:41
Speaker 4: lift outlets, has seen a big.
30:44
Speaker 3: Dive in their audience share.
30:46
Speaker 4: So I think a lot of that angry rant is
30:50
Speaker 4: motivated by self interest. Special Counsel Jack Smith, He's moved
30:55
Speaker 4: to have the election interference and classified document cases against
31:00
Speaker 4: Donald Trump dismissed in line with the Department of Justice policy.
31:04
Speaker 4: A US district judge has signed off on dismissing the
31:08
Speaker 4: election interference charges and another is reviewing the classified document charges.
31:13
Speaker 4: What else can you tell us about this, Josh? Is
31:16
Speaker 4: the law fare over or is it just going to
31:18
Speaker 4: be delayed?
31:21
Speaker 15: So the federal cases appear to actually be over. So
31:25
Speaker 15: those are the two cases in Florida where I live,
31:27
Speaker 15: and in Washington, d C. Florida would be the classified
31:30
Speaker 15: documents case in mar Lago and the DC case it's
31:32
Speaker 15: kind of the Marquee case, the Crown Jewel. That's the
31:34
Speaker 15: twenty twenty case involving January sixth. That is the case
31:37
Speaker 15: that Judge Tanya Chu can actually formally dismiss pursuance to
31:41
Speaker 15: so called special counsel Jacksmith's motion to withdraw the case.
31:45
Speaker 2: There.
31:45
Speaker 15: Now it's over at a federal level, there are still
31:48
Speaker 15: two state level prosecutions. There's the so called hush money
31:51
Speaker 15: case in New York City as well as the Fulton County,
31:54
Speaker 15: Georgia case. That's the one with Fannie Willis and her
31:56
Speaker 15: former lover Nathan Wade. It's actually not entirely clear what
32:00
Speaker 15: happening in Georgia. The Georgia Corp Appeals this past week
32:02
Speaker 15: actually just said that they're not going to hear the
32:04
Speaker 15: appeal from the Superior Court. So it's not entirely clear.
32:07
Speaker 15: Procedurally speaking, what's going to happen there is probably going
32:09
Speaker 15: to fizzle out of it's own the court one way
32:11
Speaker 15: or the other. The big question right now from a
32:13
Speaker 15: lawfair perspective, well, I guess there are two big questions.
32:14
Speaker 15: One is what happens in the New York City case.
32:16
Speaker 15: Because wanmer Shawn, the very anti Trump judge, has indefinitely
32:20
Speaker 15: delayed the sentencing, but he hasn't actually dismissed the case.
32:23
Speaker 15: In its entirety, Yet he should declare a mistrial. This
32:26
Speaker 15: gets to the heart of what the Supreme Court said
32:29
Speaker 15: in the Trump versus us Presidential Community case, which constitutes
32:34
Speaker 15: a conduct that you cannot invoke at a trial setting.
32:37
Speaker 15: So under the clear terms of the Presidential Comunity case,
32:39
Speaker 15: that case should be declared a mistrial. I think the
32:41
Speaker 15: bigger question, though, read and one that I'm currently thinking
32:43
Speaker 15: a lot about, is what does Donald Trump do day one,
32:46
Speaker 15: January twenty twenty five when it comes to the lawfair
32:49
Speaker 15: You have a lot of people, I think whispering in
32:50
Speaker 15: his ear, saying, be the bigger man, you know, try
32:53
Speaker 15: to just extend a peace pipe there, KUMBAYI, y'all, let's
32:56
Speaker 15: all just move on here.
32:58
Speaker 5: I'm not ready to move on. I'm not ready to
33:01
Speaker 5: just move on and.
33:02
Speaker 15: Just turn the page from the past two and a
33:04
Speaker 15: half years of them trying to bankrupt, incarcerate, destroy their
33:08
Speaker 15: political opponents in third world sub Saharan Africa. Tim Pott
33:12
Speaker 15: dictatorship fashion that they have made a mockery of the
33:16
Speaker 15: rule of law in this country. They have crossed not
33:18
Speaker 15: just one rubicon, they have crossed hundreds of rubicons at
33:21
Speaker 15: this point. There and unless and until they pay some
33:24
Speaker 15: sort of price for that. I fear that when they
33:26
Speaker 15: regain power, which inevitably they will at some unforeseen point,
33:30
Speaker 15: but at some point they will unless the until you
33:32
Speaker 15: make them feel the price. Now, the pain there's going
33:35
Speaker 15: to double down at a future date.
33:38
Speaker 4: That is critically important and it's what the people voted for.
33:42
Speaker 4: That was an issue throughout this election campaign. The law fare,
33:46
Speaker 4: the way these departments and institutions have been corrupted and
33:50
Speaker 4: politicized and weaponized to go after political opponents. This is
33:55
Speaker 4: an issue that Trump's voters care about. So if he
33:58
Speaker 4: goes in there and decides, I've got other things to
34:00
Speaker 4: focus on, We're just going to hold hands and pretend
34:03
Speaker 4: we're good friends. I think that's entirely the wrong thing
34:06
Speaker 4: to do. And as you said, it doesn't actually see
34:09
Speaker 4: meaningful change.
34:10
Speaker 3: They're just going to try it on again when there's
34:12
Speaker 3: no consequences.
34:13
Speaker 4: So there has to be some consequences for those who
34:16
Speaker 4: misuse their power, misuse.
34:18
Speaker 3: Their officers to launch this lawfare.
34:21
Speaker 4: And it wasn't just Donald Trump, of course, it was
34:24
Speaker 4: their number one target.
34:25
Speaker 3: But we've seen school mums.
34:27
Speaker 4: At who objected to what their children were being taught
34:32
Speaker 4: and were protesting at school board meetings being targeted. We've
34:38
Speaker 4: seen pro life activists being targeted. So it's bigger than
34:42
Speaker 4: Donald Trump, and I hope he really does not neglect
34:45
Speaker 4: this important area.
34:47
Speaker 3: I want to ask you about.
34:49
Speaker 4: California Governor Gavin Museim. He's a future Democrat presidential candidate
34:54
Speaker 4: if you asked me, despite the mess that California is in.
34:58
Speaker 3: He's done something incredible.
35:00
Speaker 4: Lea's excluded Elon Musk's Tesla from a scheme that will
35:04
Speaker 4: offer rebates to electric vehicle buyers. Government Newism's going to
35:09
Speaker 4: introduce this seven and a half thousand dollars EV credits
35:13
Speaker 4: scheme if Donald Trump decides to repeal the federal EV
35:17
Speaker 4: rebates that are in place, but he's going to exclude Tesla,
35:22
Speaker 4: the most popular EV and the one that's actually made
35:25
Speaker 4: in America, made in California.
35:27
Speaker 15: Josh, Yeah, it's pretty morbidly hilarious, isn't it actually that
35:33
Speaker 15: the nation's largest EV manufacturer is being denied a purportedly
35:39
Speaker 15: facially neutral credit for the very simple reason that Elon
35:44
Speaker 15: Musk is a major Trump supporter, or that Elon Musk
35:46
Speaker 15: actually picked up and moved out of Gavin Newsoms California
35:50
Speaker 15: due to Gavin Newsom's policies and relocated to Texas there.
35:53
Speaker 5: You know, it's funny.
35:54
Speaker 15: So you know, in the Anglo American legal tradition and
35:56
Speaker 15: right here in our US Constitution, we have something known
35:59
Speaker 15: as a bill of a tinder. A bill of attainer
36:02
Speaker 15: back in the Old Star Chamber in medieval England was
36:04
Speaker 15: literally a decree by the king that would single out
36:07
Speaker 15: an individual for punishment without any law actually supporting of
36:10
Speaker 15: US Constitution actually clarifies that Congress shall never ever pass
36:14
Speaker 15: a bill of attainder. This is basically what's happening here.
36:17
Speaker 15: This is basically a single minded bill of a tanger
36:20
Speaker 15: of sorts that Gavin Newsom is just issuing at Elon
36:22
Speaker 15: Musk is coming from nothing, nothing other than pure personal
36:26
Speaker 15: pettiness and spite. That is exactly what's going on there
36:29
Speaker 15: by the way you mentioned this, But Gavin Newsim is
36:31
Speaker 15: the first governor since California became a state in the
36:34
Speaker 15: mid nineteenth century to oversee a population decline in California
36:39
Speaker 15: actually losing congressional seats in the US census. All this
36:42
Speaker 15: has happened under Gavin Newsom's gubernatorial tenure. Again, he's the
36:45
Speaker 15: first governor who's ever been there on the Golden State
36:47
Speaker 15: to ever see a population excess. People have been flocked
36:50
Speaker 15: in California forever until he came into power there. If
36:53
Speaker 15: Gavin Newsom is the best that the Democratic Party has
36:56
Speaker 15: to offer come the next presidential election in twenty twenty eight,
36:59
Speaker 15: then God help them, because it's not going to go
37:01
Speaker 15: a heck of a lot better than it did the
37:02
Speaker 15: last go round.
37:05
Speaker 4: Yes, the Californians are fleeing in a huge numbers. They're
37:09
Speaker 4: all over Texas and Florida where you are, and Tennessee
37:13
Speaker 4: that typically seem to be fleeing to the south. Let's
37:16
Speaker 4: just hope they don't take their politics with them.
37:19
Speaker 3: I want to ask you.
37:20
Speaker 4: About the January six political prisoners as some refer to them.
37:25
Speaker 4: But before that, Canadian Opposition leader Pierre Poulivier has called
37:30
Speaker 4: out Justin Trudeau Prime Minister Justin Trudeau over is rolling,
37:34
Speaker 4: creating and tolerating anti semitism in Canada. The left wing
37:40
Speaker 4: hate there is fueling rights in Montreal. I'll just quote
37:46
Speaker 4: from what Pierre wrote on X He said, you ax
37:50
Speaker 4: surprised we are reaping what you saw this is what
37:53
Speaker 4: happens when a prime minister spends ninety years pushing toxic,
37:57
Speaker 4: woke identity politics, dividing and subdividing people by race, gender, vaccine, status, religion, region, age, wealth,
38:06
Speaker 4: saying Canada is a post national state with no core identity.
38:11
Speaker 4: And while you were dancing, Montreal was burning. We won't
38:15
Speaker 4: let you divide us anymore. Call an election, and now
38:18
Speaker 4: we will fire you and reclaim our citizenship, our values,
38:22
Speaker 4: our lives, our freedom, and most of all, our country. Wow, Josh,
38:27
Speaker 4: that's pretty powerful stuff.
38:31
Speaker 15: Yeah, that's a I mean, that's a fiery statement, and
38:33
Speaker 15: it's a fire statement that has to be made. I mean, frankly,
38:36
Speaker 15: you know, I was looking at the so called ratio
38:38
Speaker 15: on the other on the underlying tweet that Justin Trudeau
38:41
Speaker 15: pointed out that we saw kind of the quote there.
38:44
Speaker 15: I mean, Justin Trudeau was getting so called ratio to.
38:46
Speaker 15: I mean, he was getting just blown up in the
38:48
Speaker 15: replies there. I mean, Trudeau is going to get demolished
38:50
Speaker 15: and next time that he actually bothers to hold an
38:52
Speaker 15: election there in Canada. There, it's because his policies are
38:54
Speaker 15: fundamentally failed. By the way, It's not just that he's
38:57
Speaker 15: allowing Jew heaters in Montreal to firebomb sending gues.
39:01
Speaker 5: You know.
39:01
Speaker 15: He's also now on record as saying that he looks
39:03
Speaker 15: forward to enforcing the International Criminal Courts arrest warrant against
39:07
Speaker 15: Prime Minister of Benjamin Nintinyahu as if if Natanyahu were
39:11
Speaker 15: to visit Ottawa. I mean, is Trudeau literally going to
39:13
Speaker 15: send in the Royal Canadian Mounted Police to round up
39:17
Speaker 15: the Jews? I mean, are you kidding me here? I mean,
39:20
Speaker 15: I mean, is this sort of nazi esque rounding up
39:23
Speaker 15: the Jews the progressive mentality in the year twenty twenty four.
39:26
Speaker 15: I guess the answer apparently is yes. Again, He's going
39:28
Speaker 15: to get his clock cleaned in Canada the next time
39:30
Speaker 15: that they bother to host elections there. This leader of
39:33
Speaker 15: the opposition of the Tories is very, very, very well spoken.
39:36
Speaker 15: I hope he gets back in the power of the
39:38
Speaker 15: next time that Canada bothers to hold the national election.
39:40
Speaker 4: Frankly, I do like his form. He reminds me a
39:43
Speaker 4: lot of Ron DeSantis. I want to ask you about
39:46
Speaker 4: January sixth has been another hole that's been blown in
39:49
Speaker 4: Congress's January sixth investigation. Despite the Capitol Police and Justice
39:54
Speaker 4: Department clearing Captain Michael Bird for shooting protester Ashley Babbitt dead.
39:58
Speaker 4: New information has come to light where Bird admits to
40:01
Speaker 4: not having sufficient grounds to have open fire on her
40:04
Speaker 4: and a new report confirms that Bird had pride, disciplinary
40:08
Speaker 4: and training issues.
40:10
Speaker 3: What more can you tell us about that?
40:12
Speaker 4: And what is going to be the plight of these
40:14
Speaker 4: January sixth prisoners? Some refer to them as political prisoners,
40:19
Speaker 4: and really their cases highlight this two tier justice system.
40:23
Speaker 15: So the US Supreme Court had an opinion earlier this
40:26
Speaker 15: year called the Fisher case US versus Fisher, where they
40:28
Speaker 15: held that a two thousand and two statue called Sarbanes Oxley,
40:32
Speaker 15: specifically Section fifteen twelve cannot be used to prosecute the
40:36
Speaker 15: JA sixers.
40:37
Speaker 5: That was basically the holding of the case.
40:38
Speaker 15: Now, notably Jack Smith, who we were just discussing a
40:40
Speaker 15: few minutes ago. Jack Smith decided not to let the
40:43
Speaker 15: Supreme Court ruling effect his indictment against Donald Trump.
40:46
Speaker 5: He actually left those charges in.
40:47
Speaker 15: But when it comes to a lot of the JA
40:49
Speaker 15: sixers who were being prosecuted, or who are waiting trial,
40:52
Speaker 15: or who are currently sentenced under these same statutory grounds.
40:55
Speaker 15: The Biden DOJ has not actually bothered to change or
40:58
Speaker 15: to let out many of these people, and they're acting,
41:00
Speaker 15: in many cases in flagrant disregard of this Preme Court's
41:04
Speaker 15: clear guidance in this fissure case. Many of these cases,
41:07
Speaker 15: perhaps most possibly even all of them, honestly, are really
41:10
Speaker 15: just day one easy parting calls, I think for Donald
41:13
Speaker 15: Trump and Pam Bondy as soon to be a turned
41:16
Speaker 15: general come January twenty twenty five. Look, was January sixth
41:19
Speaker 15: a good day? No, it obviously was not. Has been
41:21
Speaker 15: blown out of proportion by anyone remotely resembling anyone on
41:25
Speaker 15: the left.
41:26
Speaker 5: Yeah, of course it.
41:27
Speaker 15: Has this notion that it was a pearl harbor and
41:29
Speaker 15: nine to eleven. Get the heck out of here, I mean,
41:31
Speaker 15: this latest revelation about Bird and Nashley babbittt there is
41:34
Speaker 15: really just the latest data indicating that there Donald Trump
41:36
Speaker 15: should issue a pardon to basically anyone who's been prosecuted
41:40
Speaker 15: under that same statue to mention there possibly all of
41:42
Speaker 15: them there, get it done with out of the way.
41:43
Speaker 15: The left will freak out, let them melt down. Frankly,
41:46
Speaker 15: who cares.
41:49
Speaker 3: Exactly they're going to melt down anyway. Joshadma, thanks for
41:52
Speaker 3: your time tonight.
41:53
Speaker 6: Thank you.
41:54
Speaker 4: Rita still to come proof that ethnic minorities are rejecting
41:59
Speaker 4: identity politics.
42:00
Speaker 3: Adam Weiss joins me next. Welcome back.
42:12
Speaker 4: My next guest is a regular at mar A Lago
42:15
Speaker 4: and he's written about how it is now at the
42:18
Speaker 4: center of a massive cultural shift. Here, writes mar A
42:22
Speaker 4: Lago isn't just the epicenter of conservative politics. It's the
42:26
Speaker 4: new Hollywood, the new page six. This cultural shift speaks
42:30
Speaker 4: volumes about where America is heading. Joining me now is
42:35
Speaker 4: host of media expose, Adam Weiss. Adam, tell me about
42:39
Speaker 4: this cultural shift and tell me about mara A Lago.
42:43
Speaker 3: What's it like there?
42:45
Speaker 16: Rider, Thanks for having me. Mar A Lago seems a
42:47
Speaker 16: bit different. I went there last week for the Seapack
42:51
Speaker 16: Conservative Action Conference, and the first people I walked in
42:54
Speaker 16: was right, it was Tucker Tulsa gab but very friendly,
42:57
Speaker 16: chattowit for a bit. Downstairs, I saw Kerry Lake, who's
43:01
Speaker 16: the larger than life figure the RNC chair. But what
43:04
Speaker 16: really stuck out was I was with a colleague of
43:07
Speaker 16: mine from Silicon Valley and she said, oh, that guy
43:10
Speaker 16: over there who wasn't dressed well.
43:11
Speaker 2: Like in gen.
43:12
Speaker 16: He was one of the founders of PayPal. Another investors
43:15
Speaker 16: she saw it was from SpaceX. Another guy was another
43:18
Speaker 16: investor from Silicon Valley. And these weren't the usual typical
43:21
Speaker 16: people that were like establishments from you know, you'd usually
43:24
Speaker 16: see it Marolago. So what happened with the Elon effect,
43:27
Speaker 16: the cultural effect, the free speech effect. It's the new
43:31
Speaker 16: hit place, the new counterculture, it's the new hit place
43:35
Speaker 16: to be. And I think people are finally it's a
43:37
Speaker 16: big awakening out there, and people aren't afraid to say
43:39
Speaker 16: I'm conservative, I'm maga, and it's a big almost like
43:42
Speaker 16: a spiritual awakening happening in America.
43:47
Speaker 4: Well, we're seeing some data coming and even CNN were
43:50
Speaker 4: reporting on it that the majority of Americans are optimistic
43:54
Speaker 4: about the second Trump term. They're happy with the transitions
43:58
Speaker 4: team's work so far. And culturally, we are seeing this
44:02
Speaker 4: phenomenon with footballers, UFC fighters, other athletes doing the Trump dance.
44:10
Speaker 6: Again.
44:10
Speaker 4: That was unthinkable eight years ago, or even four years ago.
44:14
Speaker 4: It was almost forbidden to be a supportive of Trump
44:18
Speaker 4: if you're a high profile individual. But now you've got
44:21
Speaker 4: athletes doing that. It is a significant shift.
44:27
Speaker 2: I think four years ago they'd be chastised by the
44:30
Speaker 2: league and the owners. They'd be apologizing right away. They
44:34
Speaker 2: might have been fined. So the culture switch. People are
44:37
Speaker 2: allowed to be themselves finally, right.
44:40
Speaker 3: You know.
44:40
Speaker 2: I noticed there was a couple of days for the election.
44:42
Speaker 16: I was living, of course, from the Central Park and
44:45
Speaker 16: I walked through the park and they were justpatic. Go
44:47
Speaker 16: Young and his dad. They both had maga hats on.
44:50
Speaker 16: I said, that's a rarity. Then I went down to
44:51
Speaker 16: the block in African America, get out of maga hat.
44:54
Speaker 16: I said, things are shifting here. Four years ago people
44:56
Speaker 16: were afraid to wear hats, maga hats in the city.
44:58
Speaker 16: And if that was happening in New York, I said
45:01
Speaker 16: to all over America, you know they must pain see
45:03
Speaker 16: an end reader that they have to show these polls
45:06
Speaker 16: on their network. And the people are happy right now
45:09
Speaker 16: with the transition work of the Trump team, but you
45:12
Speaker 16: know they're getting attacked, which is not fair most of
45:14
Speaker 16: the cabinet. X.
45:18
Speaker 4: Now, let's have a look at some data compiled by
45:20
Speaker 4: the New York Times. There's been a big shift towards
45:23
Speaker 4: the Republicans since twenty twelve. Among ethnic minorities who've seemed
45:30
Speaker 4: to have rejected identity politics and recorded swings towards Republicans,
45:34
Speaker 4: you can see they're Blacks, Hispanics, Asians, all with a
45:39
Speaker 4: big boost net shift in support of Republicans. And those
45:44
Speaker 4: with degrees when it comes to minorities and those without
45:47
Speaker 4: degrees have also spunk towards the Republicans. And interestingly, you
45:50
Speaker 4: look at the age groups from eighteen years of age
45:54
Speaker 4: to sixty four, there's been a shift, a significant shift,
45:57
Speaker 4: particularly amongst young voters towards the Republicans. Meanwhile, for the Democrats,
46:03
Speaker 4: it's whites, whites with college degrees, and people over sixty
46:07
Speaker 4: five who've shifted towards the Democrats.
46:12
Speaker 3: What do you make of this? Starter at him?
46:15
Speaker 16: It's its amazing stats to look at because for four
46:19
Speaker 16: years we've been told what a racist, sexist, homophobe that
46:22
Speaker 16: Maga Trump Conservatives are not and stop, day and night
46:27
Speaker 16: by the legacy mainstream media.
46:28
Speaker 2: He's had I don't know, I don't even know.
46:30
Speaker 16: How many indictments he had against him, told he's been convicted,
46:34
Speaker 16: did all.
46:34
Speaker 2: These terrible things.
46:35
Speaker 16: And yet young people, African Americans Hispanics saw through it
46:39
Speaker 16: all and still voted for him in big numbers.
46:41
Speaker 2: The shifts were n't remarkable.
46:43
Speaker 16: The Democrats always thought they owned the minority vote, the
46:46
Speaker 16: African American vote, the Hispanic vote.
46:48
Speaker 2: But the American people were tired of it.
46:50
Speaker 16: They've been bullied for you know, seven eight years since
46:53
Speaker 16: Trump presidency, bullied by wokeness, bullied by political correctors, and
46:57
Speaker 16: finally American people put up big punch into the bully.
47:01
Speaker 2: And I say, the bullies are the bullies, the media
47:04
Speaker 2: with the bullies.
47:05
Speaker 16: Hollywood was the bullies, pop cultures, bullet and finally American
47:08
Speaker 16: people so we're not going to take any more bullies,
47:10
Speaker 16: and they give a big punch on election Day.
47:15
Speaker 4: Now talking about that cultural shift, Hollywood is still very
47:18
Speaker 4: much over the left. We know that, but there are
47:22
Speaker 4: small productions and some bigger ones that are coming across
47:25
Speaker 4: that are challenging that narrative. I want to play you
47:29
Speaker 4: a scene from a television series called Landman, produced by
47:33
Speaker 4: Paramount Pictures, and just a rare moment of truth from
47:37
Speaker 4: an industry that is really captured by the left, including
47:40
Speaker 4: the climate cult.
47:41
Speaker 17: How many idea how much diesel they have to burn
47:44
Speaker 17: to mix that much concrete or make that steel and
47:47
Speaker 17: hold it out here and put it together with a
47:50
Speaker 17: four hundred and fifty foot crane. You want to guess
47:52
Speaker 17: how much all it takes to libricate that thing?
47:55
Speaker 2: Or winner is it?
47:56
Speaker 17: And as twenty year live span anyone off set the
47:58
Speaker 17: carbon footprint and making it. And don't get me started
48:01
Speaker 17: on solar panels and the lithium in your Tesla battery.
48:04
Speaker 4: Oh you don't see that every day, Adam. What do
48:08
Speaker 4: you make of how divorced Hollywood is from most of
48:12
Speaker 4: the US population Because for the overwhelming majority of them,
48:17
Speaker 4: they're not involved in productions like that. They are politically
48:20
Speaker 4: hard left. They're threatening to leave the country if Trump wins.
48:24
Speaker 4: That are doing campaign events for Kamala Harris, and they
48:28
Speaker 4: seem to just be disowning at least half of the
48:31
Speaker 4: American population.
48:34
Speaker 2: Well now they're desoning more than half of that population.
48:36
Speaker 16: Think about you know, Hollywood doesn't care about fifty percent
48:40
Speaker 16: of the American population that votes. You know, he's their bills,
48:44
Speaker 16: spends money at the theater, and they just people are
48:47
Speaker 16: sick of the indoctrination from Hollywood, the advertising industry, Hollywood,
48:51
Speaker 16: the TV shows everything is just seen through the lens
48:55
Speaker 16: of political correctness and an agenda. When people are tired
48:57
Speaker 16: of it and they put it and they gave their
48:59
Speaker 16: message through election here. But you know, culture switches quick,
49:03
Speaker 16: and hopefully this does put a little bit of debt
49:06
Speaker 16: in Hollywood. So we'll see, because right now there seems
49:10
Speaker 16: to be this awakening and you know, hopefully it does
49:13
Speaker 16: showcase in Hollywood.
49:16
Speaker 4: Adam Weisse, thank you so much for your time, and
49:19
Speaker 4: that's it from me.
49:20
Speaker 3: I'll see you at eleven tomorrow with Douglas Murray.
49:24
Speaker 4: Up next is Newsnight.
