Speaker 1: On Scorning MS Australia.
0:05
Speaker 2: This is the Reader Panalty Show.
0:09
Speaker 3: Good evening and welcome to the Rita Panekee Show. Coming
0:12
Speaker 3: up tonight, President Donald Trump calls out Australia once more
0:16
Speaker 3: for failing to assist in the war against the Iranian regime.
0:20
Speaker 3: The panel will be here to cover the day's top headlines.
0:23
Speaker 3: The fuel crisis deepens, despite the Energy Minister assuring Australians
0:28
Speaker 3: all is well. We'll get the facts with Prophecy in Plimer.
0:31
Speaker 3: Kosher Gator will have the latest from the US, including
0:34
Speaker 3: the New York mayor implementing radical race based policies, and
0:40
Speaker 3: later in the program, my second favorite Texan Alex Stein
0:43
Speaker 3: will be here to discuss everything from Carnie's comeback to
0:47
Speaker 3: an NBA player sanctioned for sharing his Christian beliefs and
0:52
Speaker 3: Left is losing its stars. This Democrat charmer.
0:56
Speaker 4: Just shut down there. You listen to me, you fat
1:00
Speaker 4: I'm getting ready to tell you something does very important
1:02
Speaker 4: knowledge and no one else is gonna tell you. So
1:03
Speaker 4: I'm gonna tell you right say. By the way, get
1:05
Speaker 4: your finger out of yet, quit licking it.
1:08
Speaker 3: But first, Australian families are set to be sunk further
1:12
Speaker 3: into debt as energy bills continue to climb, despite Labour's
1:16
Speaker 3: promises that household bills would not increase. Figures from the
1:20
Speaker 3: Australian Energy Regulators show Australian households are being plunged into
1:25
Speaker 3: energy poverty, with a surge and the number of customers
1:28
Speaker 3: in arrears on their gas and electricity bills. Those on
1:32
Speaker 3: hardship programs have seen a twenty three percent jump in arrears,
1:36
Speaker 3: with many owing thousands in unpaid energy bills and more
1:40
Speaker 3: than six thousand customers have had their electricity supply disconnected
1:45
Speaker 3: in the first quarter. Joining me now to discuss this
1:49
Speaker 3: further is Institute of Public Affairs Research fellow Colleen Harken
1:52
Speaker 3: and Sky News contributor proumc sween. Colleen, I'll start with you.
1:56
Speaker 3: I've written about this issue in the Herald Sun today.
1:59
Speaker 3: We have been failed by successive governments both at state
2:03
Speaker 3: and federal level. They've allowed green hysteria to trump logic
2:08
Speaker 3: and sound economic policies.
2:11
Speaker 5: It's a disgrace really, this ideological pursuit that has led
2:15
Speaker 5: to a scenario where people literally can't put food on
2:18
Speaker 5: the table in a country that is energy rich as
2:22
Speaker 5: we are is an absolute disgrace. Ordinary Australians are literally
2:27
Speaker 5: hurting over this and it's not going to change anytime
2:29
Speaker 5: soon because it's based on our energy policy, which is
2:32
Speaker 5: all ideologically driven. If you ask IPA, research will show
2:36
Speaker 5: you that four out of every five Australians just want
2:39
Speaker 5: affordable and reliable energy. They're not asking for very much
2:44
Speaker 5: and we ought to be able to provide it. But
2:46
Speaker 5: you know, our government is living in utopian lala land.
2:49
Speaker 5: They just don't seem to be able to connect the
2:51
Speaker 5: dots with this and the consequences of these energy policies
2:55
Speaker 5: pro I.
2:55
Speaker 3: Seem to recall the Climate Change and Energy Minister chrisp
3:00
Speaker 3: and promising us just I think it was a last
3:02
Speaker 3: month that households could see savings of up to ten percent.
3:07
Speaker 3: When are those savings coming well?
3:10
Speaker 6: In his dreams?
3:11
Speaker 7: I think Rita, I mean, the bulk is a scam
3:14
Speaker 7: artist and sadly, you know, fossil fuel has been demonized
3:20
Speaker 7: so much, but these demons are being exorcized now as
3:24
Speaker 7: reality has hit. You know, well meaning Australians who you
3:28
Speaker 7: know thought that they were doing the right thing by
3:31
Speaker 7: the environment, have suddenly realized that not being able to
3:35
Speaker 7: heat their food.
3:36
Speaker 6: Or their homes.
3:38
Speaker 7: You know the impact that we're finding that with these
3:41
Speaker 7: rising energy costs that are impacting on all across the
3:45
Speaker 7: cost of living.
3:46
Speaker 6: And we've been sold apart.
3:48
Speaker 7: This is a scam by Bowen, a scam by this government.
3:53
Speaker 7: And we've had to learn a hard lesson and probably
3:55
Speaker 7: we all had to go through this hard lesson for
3:58
Speaker 7: people to understand that fossil fuel is not an enemy.
4:03
Speaker 6: And unfortunately that's what we've been told.
4:08
Speaker 8: Now.
4:08
Speaker 3: US President Donald Trump has taken another shot at Australia
4:12
Speaker 3: for the lack of help amidst the ongoing conflict with Iran.
4:16
Speaker 3: Have a listened to what he said.
4:18
Speaker 9: It's not just NATO.
4:20
Speaker 8: You know, Welston help us. South Korea didn't help us.
4:23
Speaker 8: You know, Welston help us. Or Australia didn't help us.
4:27
Speaker 9: You know, Welston help us.
4:28
Speaker 10: Japan.
4:30
Speaker 3: Pro Given our meager defenses in this country, aren't we
4:34
Speaker 3: reliant on the US? Isn't it a good idea to
4:38
Speaker 3: not antagonize our biggest and most powerful ally, who we
4:43
Speaker 3: are going to have to call on if, for example, China,
4:46
Speaker 3: if it becomes a little bit too aggressive.
4:48
Speaker 6: Well, we're sitting Ducks Reta.
4:50
Speaker 7: And that's the thing that people who have very short
4:52
Speaker 7: memories don't realize how very saved us in the last war.
4:58
Speaker 6: And we've got Albanezi.
5:01
Speaker 7: Who didn't have a very great history with Trump or America.
5:07
Speaker 7: Then of course we saw what happened when he became
5:10
Speaker 7: Prime minister, and it was very shaky grounds. And we
5:13
Speaker 7: all know that we are in trouble here that we know.
5:18
Speaker 7: Consecutive governments, and I don't just blame this one, have
5:21
Speaker 7: been really bad when it comes to allocating any defense budget.
5:27
Speaker 7: It's indefensible now that we need it for our national security.
5:31
Speaker 7: But we've failed Trump in so many ways, and so
5:36
Speaker 7: I don't blame him for being put out. But of
5:38
Speaker 7: course he didn't really also consult his allies when he
5:42
Speaker 7: started all of this, so I can understand why people fearful,
5:47
Speaker 7: and particularly as he's becoming a little bit more erratic
5:50
Speaker 7: in his policy making when it comes to Iran.
5:55
Speaker 3: Well, I'm not surprised at you didn't consult with us, sir.
5:57
Speaker 3: He wanted the element of surprise. I think the thing
6:00
Speaker 3: he would want would be someone within the Australian government
6:04
Speaker 3: leaking we're being planned and if they're if the UK
6:09
Speaker 3: isn't going to be consulted, Australia certainly isn't going to
6:12
Speaker 3: be Isn't this just a matter of self interest here, Colleen?
6:16
Speaker 3: We need the US far more than they'll ever need us,
6:20
Speaker 3: and it is in our national interest to not antagonize
6:24
Speaker 3: the leader of the free world.
6:26
Speaker 5: Look, I mean, our defense budget is two percent of GDP. Like, seriously,
6:30
Speaker 5: if we weren't understand what could we what could we do?
6:34
Speaker 5: It would be ridiculous.
6:35
Speaker 3: You know. What we'd be doing would be going to
6:38
Speaker 3: the biggest weapon we have, which is the telephone for
6:41
Speaker 3: the White House. That's going to be the most powerful
6:44
Speaker 3: thing we'll be able to do at a time of crisis.
6:48
Speaker 5: Well, and we're in this sort of crazy situation where
6:51
Speaker 5: at our best we are giving mixed messages.
6:54
Speaker 9: You know, is that how you treat an la who
6:56
Speaker 9: we are?
6:56
Speaker 5: We've been told on the one hand that we live
6:58
Speaker 5: in uncertain and danger times and on the other hand
7:02
Speaker 5: we're sort of dissing our allies and we're not doing
7:05
Speaker 5: anything about our defense budget. We're sort of again, we're
7:08
Speaker 5: living in this kind of crazy situation where we think.
7:10
Speaker 9: No harm will ever come to us, and it's just naive.
7:14
Speaker 3: And it seems like the Australian government is making its
7:17
Speaker 3: decisions based on the hysterical media reporting about this conflict,
7:23
Speaker 3: because I remember just a few weeks ago Anthony Alberenezi
7:26
Speaker 3: talking about the evils of the Iranian regime, how necessary
7:30
Speaker 3: this action was, how Iran could never have nuclear weapons,
7:33
Speaker 3: how the people deserve to be free, and yet just
7:37
Speaker 3: a few weeks later that seems to all be forgotten,
7:40
Speaker 3: and and we're having large segments of the media accepting
7:45
Speaker 3: propaganda from the Iranian regime about how this war is
7:48
Speaker 3: going and reporting it sometimes uncritically colle.
7:51
Speaker 5: Correct, and even sort of the general population I think
7:54
Speaker 5: is sort of lost focus about what this is all about.
7:58
Speaker 5: There's not that sort of strategic understanding about why these
8:01
Speaker 5: things happen, and it becomes this populous TikTok kind of
8:04
Speaker 5: movement without actually understanding what the global relationships.
8:08
Speaker 3: Mean now One nation MP Barnaby Joyce has said that
8:12
Speaker 3: Australia should be wary of continuing its criticism of the
8:16
Speaker 3: US president during this conflict. Let's have a listen to
8:19
Speaker 3: what Barnaby Joyce said to Channel seven earlier.
8:22
Speaker 11: One thing I do know is I can only make
8:24
Speaker 11: things worse for Australians if we participate in sort of
8:29
Speaker 11: a character reference of the president. We are going to
8:32
Speaker 11: rely on the United States incredibly if things get worse
8:36
Speaker 11: and it sounds like they're not getting better, prove the.
8:39
Speaker 3: Former Deputy PM. They're stating the bleeding obvious. But it
8:44
Speaker 3: seems to be lost on members of the Albanesi government,
8:47
Speaker 3: including the Prime Minister well sadly Rita.
8:51
Speaker 7: Most things seem to be lost when it comes to
8:54
Speaker 7: common sense on this government.
8:56
Speaker 6: An Albanis as you said, you know, the.
9:00
Speaker 7: First defense mechanism will be the phone to pick them
9:04
Speaker 7: up and say please help. But why we would be
9:07
Speaker 7: criticizing the US regime and Trump himself is ridiculous. And
9:13
Speaker 7: also the world is watching, you know, China, Russia, They're
9:16
Speaker 7: all watching how everyone is dealing.
9:19
Speaker 6: With this crisis.
9:20
Speaker 7: And we are just a fair weather friend, or we
9:24
Speaker 7: couldn't even say we're a friend. At the moment, we're
9:27
Speaker 7: not displaying any support. And it's only people who have
9:31
Speaker 7: lived through this before in these really dangerous times to
9:35
Speaker 7: understand that you really need every friend you've got when
9:38
Speaker 7: you're sitting at the bottom of the globe and you
9:42
Speaker 7: have no defenses at all.
9:43
Speaker 6: You know, you are as I said before a sitting duck.
9:47
Speaker 3: Now, experts have worn that Australia faces unavoidable fuel rationing
9:51
Speaker 3: if the war in your aunt stretches beyond this week.
9:54
Speaker 3: It follows a rise in global oil prices as US
9:58
Speaker 3: President Donald Trump's deadline for Iran to reopen the strait
10:01
Speaker 3: of Hormu's approaches prue. We had reports yesterday suggesting that
10:07
Speaker 3: Iran was desperate to strike a forty five day cease
10:11
Speaker 3: fire deal. Can you see rationing happening in this country?
10:16
Speaker 3: It seems unbelievable. But we've already got an increasing number
10:21
Speaker 3: of petrol stations that are running out of fuel.
10:24
Speaker 6: Well, I can see it, Rita.
10:26
Speaker 7: And the sad thing is that we can't trust this government.
10:29
Speaker 7: You know, we're getting mixed messages all the time. You know,
10:32
Speaker 7: don't panic, go on holiday, oh but don't drive your car,
10:36
Speaker 7: you know, try and stay home and work or you know,
10:39
Speaker 7: I mean.
10:40
Speaker 6: Who knows what's going on? Really?
10:42
Speaker 7: And you couldn't trust a word that came out of
10:44
Speaker 7: Bowen's mouth. They couldn't organize, you know, well anything basically
10:50
Speaker 7: that I can see. They have such a poor history
10:53
Speaker 7: and when they say that we will have you know,
10:55
Speaker 7: fuels on the way, we've got it till May.
10:58
Speaker 6: Well May's just around the corner.
11:00
Speaker 7: So I cannot see any effort on their part that
11:03
Speaker 7: is going to make reality hits, you know, and that
11:06
Speaker 7: we really have got a crisis here.
11:09
Speaker 6: They just seemed to be floating.
11:11
Speaker 7: Lies and living in la la land, pretending it's all
11:14
Speaker 7: going to go away.
11:15
Speaker 6: Well it ain't.
11:18
Speaker 3: Well, it's not just the half truths, the wishful thinking, Colleen,
11:22
Speaker 3: it's the contradictory messages we're getting from this government. It
11:25
Speaker 3: doesn't exactly fill you with confidence that they know what
11:28
Speaker 3: they're doing and they have a firm plan in place
11:31
Speaker 3: to deal with whatever comes.
11:33
Speaker 9: Yeah, well that's right.
11:34
Speaker 5: I mean I are very slow to convene a national
11:37
Speaker 5: cabinet to talk about the issues.
11:38
Speaker 9: They're very slow to do that. And then we had the.
11:43
Speaker 5: National Address, which was the fourth in over twenty years,
11:47
Speaker 5: and that was to tell us to not take too
11:50
Speaker 5: much fuel and to take the train if we could.
11:52
Speaker 3: Fantastic, fantastic use of a national untract.
11:55
Speaker 5: Right, So they didn't seem to be taking it seriously.
11:58
Speaker 5: And now it's sort of being too towards this emergency
12:01
Speaker 5: kind of conversation, but no one's hearing a plan. And
12:04
Speaker 5: the real issue is that, you know, I might be
12:06
Speaker 5: able to take the trainers, somebody else might be able
12:08
Speaker 5: to stay at home for a day or two, but
12:10
Speaker 5: the farmers are not getting their diesel and they're not
12:13
Speaker 5: getting their fertilizer, and that has a long tail to
12:16
Speaker 5: it in terms of what we will receive in X
12:18
Speaker 5: amount of months when the crops can't be cut and
12:20
Speaker 5: all of that kind of stuff. But there doesn't seem
12:22
Speaker 5: to be a planing place. If we're going to have rationing,
12:25
Speaker 5: be honest with us, get it moving and you know,
12:27
Speaker 5: just be transparent with the Australian people, because that's what
12:30
Speaker 5: we expect is leadership and honesty.
12:32
Speaker 3: Well, I'll be speaking to Professor in Plimer shortly about
12:35
Speaker 3: this very issue on some of this contradictory messaging that's
12:38
Speaker 3: coming out that is not helpful in any way. But
12:42
Speaker 3: let's move on to the world of academia, your world's Colleen.
12:48
Speaker 3: Let's go to controversial writer at mcquarie University, academic Randa
12:52
Speaker 3: abdelf Fhata. The Australian newspaper reports today on the taxpayer largess.
12:57
Speaker 3: She has enjoyed at children's picture books, Look and a
13:01
Speaker 3: young adult fiction novel were cited as research achievements in
13:06
Speaker 3: her successful grant application for nearly nine hundred thousand dollars.
13:10
Speaker 3: We're talking about taxpayer funding here, and public funds were
13:13
Speaker 3: also used to fly two American academics to Australia to
13:17
Speaker 3: attend a workshop about the thirty year old play The
13:21
Speaker 3: Politics of Belly Dancing, at a cost of six one
13:25
Speaker 3: hundred dollars prove this sounds like important work. The OS
13:30
Speaker 3: also reports taxpays were built one hundred and seventy dollars
13:33
Speaker 3: an hour to transcribe interviews with Islamic activists. Again, how
13:40
Speaker 3: do you justify that at a time where we have
13:43
Speaker 3: people tightening their belt, We've got real financial crisis, increasing debt,
13:49
Speaker 3: cost of living crisis, and we seem to have just
13:53
Speaker 3: this largest, this generosity for segments of academia.
14:00
Speaker 7: I think it needs to be renamed to the Research
14:03
Speaker 7: Wrought Counsel, because when you've got people like this woman
14:07
Speaker 7: who describes herself as a social activist, why is the
14:13
Speaker 7: Australian public allowing this council that has a budget of
14:19
Speaker 7: one billion dollars a year to support activism, and that's
14:24
Speaker 7: what she's openly doing and admitting, and this.
14:27
Speaker 6: Is her quest in life.
14:29
Speaker 7: She must be thinking we are all fills, which we
14:32
Speaker 7: are if we continue this. Jason Claire is in charge
14:36
Speaker 7: of this as the Education Minister. He should stop it immediately.
14:40
Speaker 7: And when we know what's coming for Australia, we are
14:43
Speaker 7: going to hit the biggest recession ever and things are
14:47
Speaker 7: going to get a lot worse than they are now.
14:50
Speaker 7: The last thing we need is for a billion of
14:53
Speaker 7: our dollars to be spent on these activists. We need
14:57
Speaker 7: to prioritize and this government needs to wake up to
15:00
Speaker 7: itself and start saving money and not promoting activism and supporting.
15:06
Speaker 3: Such rot Well, I don't think you could even blame
15:10
Speaker 3: this particular academic pre abdul Fatart. She's requesting these grants,
15:16
Speaker 3: but she doesn't approve them. The people who are approving them,
15:19
Speaker 3: who are signing off, I think, are the ones we
15:21
Speaker 3: need to be critiquing. But Colleen, this is your world academia.
15:26
Speaker 3: You're an expert in this area. Is this an isolated
15:30
Speaker 3: example of hard left ideology being funded by the taxpayer
15:34
Speaker 3: or is this pretty much the norm?
15:36
Speaker 5: Unfortunately, it's not isolated at all. Activism is in all
15:42
Speaker 5: of our institutions, from childcare all the way through schools, universities.
15:47
Speaker 5: It's a non stop embedded scenario. I mean when you
15:50
Speaker 5: listen to things like the politics of Bali dancing, I
15:52
Speaker 5: mean it must make people's blood boil who are trying
15:55
Speaker 5: to put food on the table. You know, your first
15:57
Speaker 5: story when you see this contradiction in what's happening in
15:59
Speaker 5: our society.
16:00
Speaker 9: But it is not isolated.
16:02
Speaker 5: Children from kindergarten all the way through every day, all day,
16:06
Speaker 5: there's this like a dripping tap about this activist agenda,
16:10
Speaker 5: whether it's decolonizing the curriculum or whether it's you know,
16:13
Speaker 5: you're a global citizen not an Australian one. There's about
16:16
Speaker 5: three climate anxiety. There's about three touch points that are
16:19
Speaker 5: constant in the school day that parents would be shocked
16:24
Speaker 5: to find out. Actually if they set in a classroom
16:26
Speaker 5: for a week and saw what their children were being
16:27
Speaker 5: exposed to, they would be shocked.
16:29
Speaker 3: Absolutely. Colleen Hark and pro McSween, thank you so much
16:32
Speaker 3: for your time tonight.
16:33
Speaker 9: Thank you.
16:35
Speaker 3: It seems the fuel crisis is only going to get
16:38
Speaker 3: worse before it gets better. Let's bring in Professor Ian Plymer,
16:41
Speaker 3: executive director at Hancock Prospecting in How worried are you
16:46
Speaker 3: about oil prices and shortages leading to rationing.
16:51
Speaker 10: Well, I've been worried for twenty five years because we
16:55
Speaker 10: just haven't done the expiration. We've had green law fare.
16:58
Speaker 10: We are using more petrol and oil and diesel than
17:03
Speaker 10: we actually find, so we've been absolutely dependent upon imports.
17:07
Speaker 10: These come across very very long trade routes, and Blowin
17:11
Speaker 10: Freddy could see that there was eventually going to be
17:14
Speaker 10: a problem and we were going to not have enough fuel.
17:16
Speaker 10: So we've read what we say and governments of all
17:21
Speaker 10: colors have not actually thought about the future.
17:24
Speaker 3: Well, you're telling the truth here. You've been warning about
17:28
Speaker 3: this for so many years, about this very thing about
17:32
Speaker 3: becoming dependent on overseas supply, and here we are. But
17:36
Speaker 3: let's now here from National's leader Matt Canavan, who has
17:40
Speaker 3: called out the mixed messages coming from the Albanese and government.
17:45
Speaker 1: If credit what Chris Bowen has said over easter is
17:48
Speaker 1: right that fuel supplies are good for the next month
17:51
Speaker 1: or so, why did the prime mister A rest nation
17:54
Speaker 1: just doesn't seem to add up here. Peter that the
17:57
Speaker 1: Premister thought it is so important to do a national broadcast.
18:02
Speaker 1: Things have only been done a handful of times in
18:05
Speaker 1: our generation. Yet only days later his Energy Minister saying
18:08
Speaker 1: is everything is fine, there's nothing to see here. So
18:11
Speaker 1: I just do get this distinct impression the government is
18:14
Speaker 1: not being upfront with us about exactly what the risks are.
18:18
Speaker 3: The national address from the PM was utterly pointless. He
18:22
Speaker 3: said nothing of consequence, spoke to us like we were
18:26
Speaker 3: primary school age children, with that ridiculous tone that play
18:32
Speaker 3: school hosts reserve for their audience. What did you make
18:36
Speaker 3: of the Energy Minister's comments and the contradictions we are
18:39
Speaker 3: hearing one minute we need a national address, the next minute,
18:42
Speaker 3: everything is fine, go about your business as normal.
18:46
Speaker 10: Well, the Energy Minister is outstanding at sending us broke.
18:51
Speaker 10: We're doubling up on renewable energy systems, which are really
18:55
Speaker 10: ruinable of using energy systems which are tried and proven.
19:00
Speaker 10: I know that the day don't work, and we know
19:01
Speaker 10: they're very expensive and as soon as you faced with
19:04
Speaker 10: a problem, is incapable of solving it. And so we're
19:07
Speaker 10: getting these mixed messages and basically they're floundering around trying
19:11
Speaker 10: to work out what to do, and I suspect what
19:13
Speaker 10: will happen is that they'll hope that the war will
19:15
Speaker 10: end and business will go back to usual. And then
19:19
Speaker 10: I say, well, losen the problem, aren't we wonderful?
19:22
Speaker 3: Now let's talk about Indonesia coming to our rescue. Australia's
19:28
Speaker 3: ambassador in Jakata has been assured a major state owned
19:32
Speaker 3: urrea manufacturer in Indonesia will help to bolster crucial fertilizer
19:36
Speaker 3: supplies amid a global shortage caused by the war in Iran.
19:40
Speaker 3: Rahmad Probati, the head of Indonesia's state to own fertilizer manufacturer,
19:45
Speaker 3: told the Australian newspaper food security is a shared responsibility
19:49
Speaker 3: because of our intertwined and interconnected value chain. It is
19:53
Speaker 3: in Indonesia's interests for Australia to remain a strong agricultural
19:57
Speaker 3: producer and exporter because Indonesia is also dependent on Australia
20:02
Speaker 3: for certain commodities. Ian, can you explain the significance of
20:07
Speaker 3: this deal? And again, how do we come to a
20:10
Speaker 3: position where we are so dependent on other countries? Has
20:15
Speaker 3: it always been this way or have we moved in
20:20
Speaker 3: that direction by offshoring so many of our crucial industries.
20:26
Speaker 10: We've moved in that direction over a couple of decades.
20:30
Speaker 10: We do need urea right now because we're planting winter crops.
20:35
Speaker 10: We also need additives for diesel engines, which we get
20:38
Speaker 10: from urea. But we also need a lot of asset
20:41
Speaker 10: and that acid we use to react with super phostate
20:44
Speaker 10: or to produce super phostate from our phosphate rock. And
20:48
Speaker 10: by having such high energy costs with smelters under such strain,
20:52
Speaker 10: they are reducing production. Some of them might even close.
20:55
Speaker 10: So we're in a critical situation. By exporting a lot
21:00
Speaker 10: of our products, we are not actually making things ourselves.
21:04
Speaker 10: We are not actually creating any products in this country.
21:08
Speaker 10: We're working on a just in time basis, and as
21:11
Speaker 10: soon as it's a slight hiccup, we're in real trouble.
21:14
Speaker 10: Now that hiccup was very very quick. We were in
21:17
Speaker 10: trouble very quickly, So we really have to take a
21:20
Speaker 10: deep breath and say we have to be self sufficient.
21:23
Speaker 9: We're in Ireland, We're a long way.
21:24
Speaker 10: From everywhere, and we cannot rely on basic commodities such
21:29
Speaker 10: as urea and ammonium nitrate to keep this country fed
21:33
Speaker 10: and keep this country running, and to keep diesel engines running.
21:36
Speaker 10: So we have been letting the country slip for decades.
21:40
Speaker 3: I think the message there is we have to be
21:43
Speaker 3: self sufficient, we have to energy independent, we have to
21:46
Speaker 3: be self sufficient when it comes to these critical areas.
21:49
Speaker 3: Professor Plymath, thank you so much for your time. Thank
21:51
Speaker 3: you Still to come. Lefties Losing at past. The latest
21:55
Speaker 3: from the US, including the New York may implementing radical
22:00
Speaker 3: race based policies. Kosher gata is up next. You're watching
22:14
Speaker 3: the Reader Paney Show, and it's time for left is
22:17
Speaker 3: Losing It, and we're starting tonight with the seriously deranged
22:21
Speaker 3: Democrats strategist James Carvill, who is apparently now an authority
22:26
Speaker 3: on manners and decorum. This is how he speaks to
22:30
Speaker 3: the President of the United States.
22:33
Speaker 4: Just sit down and you're listen to me, you fat
22:36
Speaker 4: all right, I'm getting ready to tell you something that's
22:38
Speaker 4: very important, knowledge that no one else is gonna tell you.
22:40
Speaker 4: So I gonna tell you right to you. By the way,
22:41
Speaker 4: get your finger out of yet, quit licking it. You
22:44
Speaker 4: don't know goddamn manners. How are you brought up.
22:48
Speaker 3: Ah, Yes, here's mister congeniality. Quite clearly. Carvill is also
22:53
Speaker 3: promising that the Democrats are going to engage in law
22:57
Speaker 3: fare and not only go after prison in retirement, but
23:01
Speaker 3: also his children.
23:03
Speaker 12: To me, Trump, I'm gonna tell you, I fat something.
23:06
Speaker 12: You're getting ready to get the living kicked out of you.
23:09
Speaker 12: You don't know because they haven't really told you. Let
23:14
Speaker 12: me tell you something. They're gonna They're gonna start breaking
23:16
Speaker 12: the news to you kind of gently, and you're gonna
23:20
Speaker 12: sit there and wonder what it feels like to be
23:24
Speaker 12: pushing the mouth, by my case. Then they're gonna start
23:27
Speaker 12: going after you. Then they're gonna start figuring out where
23:30
Speaker 12: all the money's stolen it. Then they're going to go
23:32
Speaker 12: after your stupid kids and their spousers and all other
23:38
Speaker 12: you see, and they're gonna investigate out of you.
23:42
Speaker 3: I'd believe their threats. The Democrats have already shown that
23:45
Speaker 3: they are quite happy to manufacture share charges and use
23:50
Speaker 3: activist judges to go after their political opponents. No wonder
23:54
Speaker 3: they like the Iranian regime so much. They share plenty
23:57
Speaker 3: in common. Now here, we have a case of life
24:00
Speaker 3: coming at you fast. Let's hear from a leftist bragging
24:04
Speaker 3: about fleeing America for Mexico. Everything is apparently glorious in Mexico.
24:11
Speaker 13: Like, how is it that Mexicans have fallen for American
24:14
Speaker 13: propaganda of Mexico because we're we're moving is amazing, it's thriving.
24:19
Speaker 13: We're moving to ply at Elkarma in Mexico. It's like
24:21
Speaker 13: thirty minutes from Cancun. They're acting like where we're moving
24:23
Speaker 13: isn't safe or livable. We want our kids to be
24:28
Speaker 13: a majority and out of minority. I want to be
24:30
Speaker 13: a majority and out of minority, real food, affordable health care,
24:34
Speaker 13: problical beaches, jungle, not having to fear for our safety
24:37
Speaker 13: due to racism, diversity, Trump not being our president.
24:43
Speaker 3: Now that was late last year, November. Surely the Mexico
24:48
Speaker 3: honeymoon hasn't worn off yet.
24:51
Speaker 13: Surely we were finally able to escape the United States
24:54
Speaker 13: and we're having to move back already. So with that,
24:57
Speaker 13: we're having to go to the States to get him
24:59
Speaker 13: the proper care. We've had to spend hundreds thousands of
25:02
Speaker 13: dollars out of pocket that we were not planning on.
25:05
Speaker 13: So now we're going back to the United States. To
25:09
Speaker 13: get ours send the care that he needs, and we're
25:13
Speaker 13: having to let go of the stream of living here
25:16
Speaker 13: in Mexico.
25:17
Speaker 14: Are we going to get a bunch of our torture solves? Probably?
25:21
Speaker 3: Yeah, you probably will, but we we share.
25:23
Speaker 6: Well.
25:24
Speaker 3: Now let's go to the UK, where the taxpayer funded
25:27
Speaker 3: public broadcaster, the BBC remains a bastion of leftist ideology,
25:32
Speaker 3: but every now and then their well funded echo chamber
25:35
Speaker 3: receives a much needed reality check. And Douglas Murray, a
25:40
Speaker 3: good friend of this program, was the right man to
25:43
Speaker 3: deliver this brutal reality check on the issue of Islamism
25:47
Speaker 3: in the UK.
25:49
Speaker 2: Because of that threat of Islamic extremism, we should have
25:53
Speaker 2: less Islam in this country. Was that a wise phrase?
25:57
Speaker 2: Talking about less Islam? Rely, Less Islam means less people
26:02
Speaker 2: of the Muslim faith. That means less Sadjadjavid's less Suddy
26:05
Speaker 2: can'ts well, it means anyone who's a Muslim means I.
26:10
Speaker 15: Mean, it would also mean less people like the Abaedy
26:12
Speaker 15: family wound it. Yes, I mean, I mean yeah.
26:16
Speaker 2: The point is you're talking about less Islam that is Muslim.
26:19
Speaker 15: No, just bear with me, because I know better than
26:21
Speaker 15: you what I think this country has had a wildly
26:26
Speaker 15: stupid and lacks immigration policy for decades, and we allowed
26:31
Speaker 15: people like the Abadi family, a family of jihadists who'd
26:36
Speaker 15: fallen out with Colonel Gadaffi because they were from rival
26:39
Speaker 15: jihadist groups. When their Bady family fell out with Colonel Gadaffi,
26:44
Speaker 15: they came first to London and then to Manchester. And
26:47
Speaker 15: one of the sons they gave this country was Salman Abady,
26:51
Speaker 15: who at the age of twenty two killed twenty two
26:54
Speaker 15: young girls at the Manchester Arena in a suicide bomb.
27:00
Speaker 15: Won by the way, for every year of life this
27:02
Speaker 15: country gave him. His brothers just stabbed and thrown boiling
27:07
Speaker 15: oil at three prison prisons.
27:09
Speaker 3: Let me be terrific.
27:10
Speaker 2: Why would the Abady hang on?
27:11
Speaker 15: Why were the Abedy family in the UK? Why is
27:15
Speaker 15: nobody interested in asking that?
27:18
Speaker 6: Look?
27:19
Speaker 3: I knew the BBC presenter then, Nick wash was in
27:22
Speaker 3: all sorts of trouble when Douglas said I think I
27:25
Speaker 3: know better than you what I think and what would
27:28
Speaker 3: hope that the BBC presenter would try a little harder
27:31
Speaker 3: to listen to Douglas's arguments, but alas he came back
27:36
Speaker 3: with the same old tide lines, and he got the
27:39
Speaker 3: schooling he richly deserved.
27:42
Speaker 2: There is a problem with fundamentalism and Islamic extremism and
27:46
Speaker 2: fundamental Islam. You're saying less of everyone, which means less
27:51
Speaker 2: Sajid David d less, Sodi cahn't and.
27:55
Speaker 15: Problem but always Sergid. No, of course he's not stereotype.
28:00
Speaker 15: I mean this is a kind of dated conversation to
28:02
Speaker 15: my mind, because this is all being addressed elsewhere as
28:06
Speaker 15: we speak. Nobody else is as incredibly slow in learning
28:11
Speaker 15: as the British media and political class when it comes
28:14
Speaker 15: to this problem.
28:15
Speaker 3: You know, I most feel sorry for the guy. But
28:17
Speaker 3: talking about race, obsessions and Islamism, let's go to New
28:21
Speaker 3: York City, where mayors are in Mendani has decided that
28:25
Speaker 3: the color of your skin will determine what resources you're
28:29
Speaker 3: able to access. Forget about equality, his instituting equity. I
28:34
Speaker 3: don't know what could possibly go wrong.
28:37
Speaker 16: And while today's true cost of living measure confirms that
28:40
Speaker 16: the affordability crisis touches every corner of our city, we
28:44
Speaker 16: know that these effects are not applied evenly. So often
28:48
Speaker 16: it is black and brown New Yorkers who are hit
28:50
Speaker 16: the hardest. This preliminary Racial Equity Plan is the first
28:54
Speaker 16: step in developing a whole of government approach to tackling
28:59
Speaker 16: that reality. It is a plan that lays out these
29:02
Speaker 16: first steps to solve decades of neglect and discrimination.
29:06
Speaker 3: Genius, just genius, fighting imaginary discrimination with real discrimination. What
29:13
Speaker 3: Ma'm Dani is instituting isn't just racism institutional racism. It's
29:18
Speaker 3: government mandated racism and it should be illegal. Let's bring
29:23
Speaker 3: in Sky News contributor Kosher gaita kosher equity and terms
29:28
Speaker 3: like positive discrimination, well they're just nice sounding ways to
29:33
Speaker 3: say racist because you are determining the access people have
29:38
Speaker 3: to certain resources based on the color of their skin.
29:41
Speaker 17: Equity reminds me of Kamala Harris. There was this thing
29:44
Speaker 17: on the campaign trail where she was like, I'm not
29:46
Speaker 17: talking about equality, I'm talking about equity and it sounds meant,
29:50
Speaker 17: sounds rebro and smart, but like, what.
29:52
Speaker 18: Does it mean?
29:53
Speaker 17: Usually it's a business term stakeholder value and seeing black
29:56
Speaker 17: and brown people deserve more stakeholder I don't know, it
29:58
Speaker 17: doesn't make any sense.
29:59
Speaker 3: It means communism is what it means. It makes not
30:02
Speaker 3: equality of opportunity, but of equality of outcome right, which
30:07
Speaker 3: you can only really have if you enforce it.
30:10
Speaker 17: That's right, but they hide behind your point words like
30:14
Speaker 17: don't actually make sense, and so they can sort of
30:16
Speaker 17: say what they're trying to say without actually saying it.
30:18
Speaker 17: I also think the black and brown scope creep is interesting.
30:22
Speaker 17: I don't know when that happened, but it did along
30:24
Speaker 17: the way, and just say nonwait, because that's basically what
30:26
Speaker 17: they're saying. And if he had the people standing behind
30:28
Speaker 17: him doesn't Includesians and like Indian Americans that are very successful,
30:31
Speaker 17: so they're not this is it.
30:33
Speaker 3: He can be certain colors where by his logic, you
30:38
Speaker 3: should be qualifying, but you don't because you are very
30:42
Speaker 3: economically capable. It's not very Indian Americans is a good example.
30:48
Speaker 3: Asian Americans, which Iranian Americans.
30:51
Speaker 17: All of it is, and that's when they're sneaking and
30:53
Speaker 17: brown into that. And to a point about the legality
30:56
Speaker 17: in so far as he does any actual enforcement of it,
31:00
Speaker 17: would run a file with civil rights law and Hermie
31:02
Speaker 17: Dillon is generally all over those types of things.
31:04
Speaker 3: But she's already said she's going to be watching this
31:07
Speaker 3: one very closely.
31:08
Speaker 17: It's more I think the pandering and sort of the
31:09
Speaker 17: soft discrimination that I think he will keep pushing because
31:12
Speaker 17: that's what he believes it.
31:13
Speaker 3: Now, let's go to the conflict in Iran and President
31:16
Speaker 3: Donald Trump has made it clear to the media that
31:19
Speaker 3: he's not interested in the critiques of opponents upset by
31:22
Speaker 3: his rehetrick and threats against the Iranian regime.
31:26
Speaker 15: Yesterday, in your Truth Social you called the Iranians crazy bastards.
31:30
Speaker 16: True.
31:31
Speaker 19: What is your response to critics who say that I
31:33
Speaker 19: don't care about? What is your response to critics who
31:36
Speaker 19: said that is your mental health that should perhaps be
31:38
Speaker 19: examined as this worked.
31:39
Speaker 8: I haven't heard that. But if that's the case, you're
31:42
Speaker 8: going to have to have more people like me, because
31:44
Speaker 8: our country is being ripped off on trade and everything
31:49
Speaker 8: for many years until I came along. So if that's
31:52
Speaker 8: the case, you're going to have to have more people.
31:54
Speaker 3: And the President also pointed out that the Islamist Iranian
31:57
Speaker 3: regime cannot be trusted.
32:00
Speaker 8: Because they're very good bullshited artists. That's why for forty
32:03
Speaker 8: seven years they've been bullshitting other presidents and they haven't
32:06
Speaker 8: done the job. And people are living in hell. You
32:10
Speaker 8: live in that country, they're living in hell. No, I
32:13
Speaker 8: think that forty seven years of this stuff is long enough.
32:19
Speaker 8: They're at the weakest point they've ever been.
32:22
Speaker 3: Kosher. The President also pointed out that the Iranian regime
32:26
Speaker 3: doesn't have an air force any longer, doesn't have a navy,
32:29
Speaker 3: doesn't really have decent communication, and that is in fact
32:33
Speaker 3: impeding negotiation efforts.
32:36
Speaker 17: Yes, I think the first bit over there of the
32:39
Speaker 17: journalist was using a tweet as proof positive of mental
32:42
Speaker 17: stability that doesn't land anymore.
32:44
Speaker 18: It's very twenty fifteen.
32:45
Speaker 17: There is a legitimate line of questioning, which is the
32:48
Speaker 17: second clip sort of touches on that around that point
32:51
Speaker 17: that if you have decimated them to the point that
32:53
Speaker 17: there's no one to negotiate with, then what what's her
32:55
Speaker 17: off ramp?
32:56
Speaker 18: What's a negotiation strategy?
32:58
Speaker 17: The other piece of that tweet that the world up
33:00
Speaker 17: to where he said, you know, it's gonna be bridge
33:01
Speaker 17: day and land today, that could have been a line
33:04
Speaker 17: of questioning that, you know, was that just rhetoric orre
33:06
Speaker 17: you serious? Because that's civilian infrastructure. What are you saying here?
33:09
Speaker 17: And he wouldn't have given up his strategy, but that
33:11
Speaker 17: would have been a better approach than it, but.
33:12
Speaker 3: That looking for their ex moment. They're looking for their
33:14
Speaker 3: TikTok moment than looking for the opportunity to say to
33:19
Speaker 3: the American President that you know, it's your mental health
33:23
Speaker 3: that is being questioned.
33:24
Speaker 6: They are.
33:25
Speaker 3: But yeah, it doesn't land An, It wasn't land It's
33:29
Speaker 3: not twenty fifteen, folks. We've moved on. Those sort of
33:32
Speaker 3: tactics don't work any longer. President Trump mentioned there that
33:36
Speaker 3: the Iranian people have been living in health for forty
33:39
Speaker 3: seven years, and even now while the regime is being decimated,
33:44
Speaker 3: it is still killing its own citizens.
33:47
Speaker 19: Amir Hussein Hatami was an innocent eighteen year old who
33:50
Speaker 19: was arrested in January. His crime was simply protesting against
33:54
Speaker 19: is amirigime. They executed him yesterday and took his life.
33:58
Speaker 19: He was denied a trial, is still cut off. We
34:01
Speaker 19: still can't hear from his family. These are the war
34:03
Speaker 19: crimes that you're not going to hear on the headlines
34:05
Speaker 19: of the western media outlets. There are four other men
34:08
Speaker 19: who are sentenced execution on the same day as here.
34:11
Speaker 3: So much of this news is being shared on social
34:14
Speaker 3: media by Uranian dissidents expats who are trying to get
34:20
Speaker 3: this message out their kosher at a time when increasing
34:24
Speaker 3: amounts of the US media seem to be siding with
34:27
Speaker 3: the Iranian regime, repeating their propaganda and really characterizing this
34:35
Speaker 3: war in the most bizarre fashion. It seems like their
34:38
Speaker 3: hatred of Trump is blinding them to the regime they're defending.
34:43
Speaker 17: So true, and we see them do that all the time,
34:45
Speaker 17: where the teds is the guiding principle, and then everything
34:49
Speaker 17: else will fall around that, you know, as the chips may.
34:52
Speaker 17: This kind of reporting is a reminder of the regime
34:55
Speaker 17: and how brutal it is. And as you say, it's
34:58
Speaker 17: hard for those things to get out because there's sort
34:59
Speaker 17: of just a blanket around that kind of media. But
35:02
Speaker 17: we live in the world of social media and independent media,
35:04
Speaker 17: so it does come out, and it just again makes
35:06
Speaker 17: the media look feckless because there is again a legitimate
35:10
Speaker 17: critique to tigue against Trump, but that would require them
35:12
Speaker 17: to sort of side with that faction of the Trump
35:14
Speaker 17: coalition that has been against US war because it's not
35:16
Speaker 17: America first, as brutalism regime is, how is that our business?
35:20
Speaker 17: That line of questioning the left and the media won't
35:23
Speaker 17: go there. Because they don't want to ally with that
35:25
Speaker 17: side of the islands.
35:26
Speaker 18: They are just going to That.
35:27
Speaker 3: Actually would be a fascinating thing for the media to
35:30
Speaker 3: focus on about any potential rift between the President and
35:34
Speaker 3: his Vice President jd. Vance. Even the President has admitted
35:40
Speaker 3: it has not been as enthusiastic about what's happening in
35:43
Speaker 3: Iran as others in the administration. That is actually something
35:46
Speaker 3: very interesting to explore on Oever, now, Trump has called
35:51
Speaker 3: out the media's relentless negative coverage of him in recent days.
35:56
Speaker 3: He has made this point several times.
36:00
Speaker 8: I get ninety three to ninety seven percent bad press,
36:03
Speaker 8: fake press, or fake.
36:05
Speaker 6: I wanted a landslide.
36:08
Speaker 3: The point he keeps making is that there must be
36:11
Speaker 3: something terribly wrong with the media and with trust in
36:14
Speaker 3: the media. With someone who receives so much bad coverage,
36:18
Speaker 3: we're talking well over ninety percent, there can win an
36:21
Speaker 3: election in a landslide.
36:23
Speaker 18: And they know it. Trust is down.
36:25
Speaker 17: Even as Trump's pull numbers maybe take or taking a
36:27
Speaker 17: little bit of a dip right now, he's still way
36:29
Speaker 17: way above the trust numbers, and the media it's irredeemably
36:32
Speaker 17: use their friend Hillary Clinton's famous whatever, it's irredeemable right now,
36:35
Speaker 17: their status, their ratings are down, trust is down, everything
36:39
Speaker 17: is down.
36:39
Speaker 18: They're circling the drain. They know it.
36:42
Speaker 17: But that adversarial relationship between the press and journalists and
36:46
Speaker 17: Trump is one of the many things that was his
36:48
Speaker 17: signature put him on the map. He coined that term
36:51
Speaker 17: fake news. The media was already going down, but he really,
36:54
Speaker 17: I think was the final nail in the coffin, and
36:56
Speaker 17: he's going to continue that adversarial positioning.
37:00
Speaker 3: Well, trust in the US media is a historic glows
37:03
Speaker 3: and when you look at trust from Republicans and independent voters,
37:08
Speaker 3: it is rock bottom. Democrats still have some trust in
37:12
Speaker 3: the media well, because the media are mainly Democrats.
37:15
Speaker 8: Now.
37:15
Speaker 3: We have spoken about that commy convoy to Cuba previously
37:20
Speaker 3: on this program. It featured the likes of stream A
37:22
Speaker 3: Hassan Pika and he was on CNN talking about his experience.
37:28
Speaker 20: I couldn't believe the site that I was seeing. It
37:30
Speaker 20: was very sad. You had homes that looked like they
37:33
Speaker 20: were bombed out. I already had known about the rolling
37:36
Speaker 20: blackouts and I experienced them later in the day and
37:39
Speaker 20: it was definitely unlike anything I've ever experienced. Before everything
37:43
Speaker 20: is pitch black, there aren't any traffic lights on. It's crazy, right,
37:47
Speaker 20: But I was taken aback. I was very sad by
37:51
Speaker 20: all the poverty that I saw, and then I was
37:53
Speaker 20: very angry.
37:54
Speaker 3: Kosher, of course, he was not angry at all with
37:57
Speaker 3: the communist regime there that they've destroyed that island nation.
38:01
Speaker 3: He's not angry with the failed doctrine of communism. And
38:06
Speaker 3: I've got to ask why is sin and having a
38:08
Speaker 3: guy on who said America deserve nine eleven or his
38:12
Speaker 3: exact words. I'm not taking him out of context. And
38:16
Speaker 3: not only did Sina not ask him about that, it
38:18
Speaker 3: didn't ask him about all the other crazy comments he's
38:21
Speaker 3: made like this.
38:22
Speaker 14: Well, my understanding is that the property owners who have
38:25
Speaker 14: properties there choose just not to rent it at all.
38:27
Speaker 20: Yeah, chill them, murder those in the street, let the streets,
38:32
Speaker 20: let the streets sook in their red capitalist bloods.
38:36
Speaker 3: Dude, if a figure on the right Kosher had said
38:40
Speaker 3: anything remotely close to that, that had to be disavowed
38:44
Speaker 3: by everyone. But Hassan Pika is a hobnobbing with Democrats
38:50
Speaker 3: and is invited on CNN as a serious guest.
38:54
Speaker 17: Because he's part of the club, and it really is
38:56
Speaker 17: a lesson and that circular firing squad that the ratars'll
39:00
Speaker 17: be the first, or right will be the first to
39:01
Speaker 17: chastise somebody on their side of the aisle who say
39:04
Speaker 17: even remotely what he does. The left just doesn't do
39:07
Speaker 17: that because he's part of the club. I think maybe
39:09
Speaker 17: there's a business reason too. He does have lots and
39:11
Speaker 17: lots of viewers, and CNN is hemorrhaging viewers, as we discuss,
39:13
Speaker 17: so they think, oh, let's, you know, get some of
39:15
Speaker 17: this independent media talent on our airwaves. Maybe that's sort
39:18
Speaker 17: of a cynical business aspect to it. But he, you know,
39:22
Speaker 17: I'll give him credit for doing on location reporting by
39:24
Speaker 17: going to Cuba, but he won't take that next step.
39:27
Speaker 18: Why is it like that? Why are there blackouts and
39:29
Speaker 18: he won't go there?
39:30
Speaker 3: How is he railing against capitualism like we just heard,
39:34
Speaker 3: when the man's a multimillionaire, he lives in a multimillion
39:38
Speaker 3: dollar property. I mean, how do you say, you know,
39:42
Speaker 3: basically kill capitalist when you're a very good example of one.
39:47
Speaker 17: From his lips to Billie Eilish's ears when she was
39:49
Speaker 17: about the stolen land, they don't make that connection, or
39:53
Speaker 17: they do, but they don't.
39:55
Speaker 18: Want to reveal it.
39:56
Speaker 17: And you know that's sort of the act and the
39:57
Speaker 17: game that they play.
39:59
Speaker 3: Now, we've covered the news of the US reporting at
40:02
Speaker 3: bumper jobs report, well above market expectations, and that comes
40:07
Speaker 3: kosher at a time when the Trump administration is slashing
40:11
Speaker 3: taxpayer roles. The number of federal employees is decreasing at
40:15
Speaker 3: a rapid rate while employment in the private sector is increasing.
40:20
Speaker 3: It's a good situation for the taxpayer, very different to
40:24
Speaker 3: what we see here in Australia, where just about every
40:27
Speaker 3: new job is either directly or indirectly funded by taxpayers.
40:31
Speaker 17: Absolutely, I've seen banking, mining and real estate and government.
40:36
Speaker 17: That's basically the economy here. And it didn't have to
40:38
Speaker 17: be in this way.
40:38
Speaker 18: That's a self inflicted.
40:40
Speaker 17: Wound over many years in Australia many parts of the country,
40:44
Speaker 17: and in America certainly under the last administration and even.
40:48
Speaker 18: Before and Trump.
40:49
Speaker 17: His whole platform when it was trade and tariffs and
40:52
Speaker 17: then immigration, both those things together was about jobs and
40:55
Speaker 17: the American worker being a key constituent more than the consumer.
40:59
Speaker 17: Even even a pricess go up. For example, with tariffs,
41:01
Speaker 17: the worker and the jobs is important more than being
41:04
Speaker 17: thisbastian to welcome the world. That has been a signature issue.
41:08
Speaker 17: If those numbers continue, that will be helpful to him
41:10
Speaker 17: because he is suffering right now and the Paul's on
41:12
Speaker 17: economics and infletion and all of that.
41:14
Speaker 18: So this was definitely a bright spot.
41:16
Speaker 3: Kosha Gator, thank you for the time. Pleasure still to come.
41:20
Speaker 3: The latest in entertainment news from Carnier's comeback to an
41:24
Speaker 3: NBA player sanctioned for sharing his Christian beliefs, Alex Stein
41:28
Speaker 3: is up next Welcome Back.
41:40
Speaker 4: Now.
41:41
Speaker 3: The Chicago Bulls are being accused of hypocrisy, cowardice, and stupidity.
41:46
Speaker 3: It's an unhappy trifecta. Basketball fans are I rate with
41:50
Speaker 3: the club because the club has waived guard Jaden Ivy
41:55
Speaker 3: for what they say is conduct detrimental to the team.
41:59
Speaker 3: Apparently about Christian speaking out about the NBA's embrace of
42:03
Speaker 3: Pride Month is detrimental, but being a lefty activist is
42:08
Speaker 3: perfectly fine. Players pushing racial politics and anti ice messaging
42:14
Speaker 3: have had no penalties imposed. Here is Jade and Ivy
42:17
Speaker 3: saying no one is going to stop him from talking in.
42:21
Speaker 21: Terms of like LGBTQ, right, I don't. I'm not against
42:27
Speaker 21: the man or the woman. I'm against what is contrary
42:32
Speaker 21: to the word of God. Man is not supposed to
42:35
Speaker 21: lie with a man, and a woman is not supposed
42:38
Speaker 21: to lie with a woman. So for me as a Christian,
42:43
Speaker 21: as a born again Christian who believes in Jesus Christ, right,
42:49
Speaker 21: I can proclaim the truth what the Word of God says,
42:54
Speaker 21: and I can do that with freedom. I have a
42:57
Speaker 21: mouth to speak. No one can.
42:59
Speaker 3: Start me joining me now is the host of After
43:03
Speaker 3: Hours with Alex Stein on Real America's Voice. Alex, what's
43:07
Speaker 3: your take on all of this. I know you're a
43:09
Speaker 3: sports fan, and whether you agree with him or not,
43:13
Speaker 3: shouldn't he have the right to say that without having
43:16
Speaker 3: his livelihood threatened?
43:19
Speaker 14: Well, of course, he deserves to have the ability to
43:21
Speaker 14: speak freely. That's why we have the First Amendment. But
43:24
Speaker 14: we learned during the pandemic that these corporations don't have
43:26
Speaker 14: to follow the constitution.
43:28
Speaker 10: So I think that's.
43:29
Speaker 14: Where the rubber meets the road, is the fact that
43:32
Speaker 14: the NBA can control the way these people speak. And
43:34
Speaker 14: what's really crazy about it is that if you think
43:36
Speaker 14: about what is pride Night represent it represents people's sexual preference.
43:41
Speaker 14: That's the only difference between a gay person and a
43:42
Speaker 14: straight person is who they're sexually attracted to. So why
43:45
Speaker 14: does the NBA a league that is dedicated and focused
43:49
Speaker 14: on you know, children, Basically those are their biggest fans,
43:52
Speaker 14: celebrating who people like to have sex with. So it's
43:55
Speaker 14: ridiculous that he is getting canceled for this because it's
43:57
Speaker 14: just an unnecessary thing to celebrate.
43:59
Speaker 3: In my opinion, well, I think we would all like
44:03
Speaker 3: to see sporting leagues step away from politics and just
44:08
Speaker 3: focus on what they're good at and stop having so
44:13
Speaker 3: many fans angry with them as it's just every week
44:16
Speaker 3: we seem to hear from sports fans or upset with
44:19
Speaker 3: the NFL, the NBA, whatever the league is that has
44:23
Speaker 3: taken some contentious political position. Now let's go to the UK.
44:27
Speaker 3: British Prime Minister Kiss Starmer has slammed organizers at the
44:31
Speaker 3: Wireless Festival after they booked Carnea West. Starma told The
44:36
Speaker 3: Sun newspaper it is deeply concerning the Carnee West has
44:40
Speaker 3: been booked to perform at Wireless despite his previous anti
44:43
Speaker 3: Semitic remarks and celebration of Nazis. Nazism, anti Semitism in
44:50
Speaker 3: any form is abhorrent and must be confronted firmly wherever
44:54
Speaker 3: it appears, everyone has a responsibility to ensure Britain is
44:58
Speaker 3: a place where Jewish people f alex. Do you agree
45:02
Speaker 3: with Starmer's comments there? Certainly, Kanye West has made quite
45:07
Speaker 3: a comeback. You had those sold out concerts in Mexico,
45:11
Speaker 3: and he's just had two sold out shows in California
45:15
Speaker 3: and people have been absolutely raving about those programs.
45:21
Speaker 14: Listen, Kanye West is definitely on the record saying some
45:25
Speaker 14: very heinous things, but at the same exact time, he
45:27
Speaker 14: has apologized for what he said. So, in my opinion,
45:30
Speaker 14: America is a country about giving people second chances. I
45:33
Speaker 14: know kier Stromer's not in America, and obviously he's British
45:36
Speaker 14: or maybe he doesn't have that same sort of mentality,
45:40
Speaker 14: But when it comes to Kanye West, the guy apologized.
45:42
Speaker 14: I believe in second chances. I think he learned from
45:44
Speaker 14: his mistakes. And you know, a lot of other artists
45:47
Speaker 14: say some even more discussing things, if you can believe that,
45:51
Speaker 14: about killing people and degenerate sex. So sometimes these artists
45:55
Speaker 14: choose to say offensive things to push people's buttons, and
45:59
Speaker 14: I think that's what kind of he was doing. He
46:00
Speaker 14: was trying to push buttons because really, at the end
46:03
Speaker 14: of the day, I don't think he's as antisemitic as
46:05
Speaker 14: the media labels him. And like I said, he did apologize.
46:08
Speaker 14: What more can we ask for him?
46:11
Speaker 10: Now?
46:11
Speaker 3: I want to play a beautiful Jada Pinkett Smith for you.
46:15
Speaker 3: Actress Jada Pinkett Smith's talking about her clearly dysfunctional relationship
46:20
Speaker 3: with fellow actor Will Smith. The clip was uploaded by
46:25
Speaker 3: fifty cent with the caption God damn father, God, thank
46:29
Speaker 3: you for not letting me get into a relationship like this.
46:32
Speaker 3: Happy Easter, God bless Let us have a look at
46:35
Speaker 3: the clip.
46:36
Speaker 18: It is not his responsibility to.
46:39
Speaker 6: Make you happy.
46:41
Speaker 18: He can't.
46:42
Speaker 10: It's impossible.
46:44
Speaker 21: But it took me forever, hard headed, stubborn, you know,
46:48
Speaker 21: because that romantic idea.
46:51
Speaker 6: And that's why I talk about checking the boxes.
46:55
Speaker 3: It's like I did everything I was supposed to do.
46:57
Speaker 3: You get to have your dream, how come I'm not
46:59
Speaker 3: having mine?
47:00
Speaker 18: And that's because Will was doing what he wanted to do.
47:04
Speaker 6: He was making himself happy.
47:08
Speaker 9: Alex.
47:09
Speaker 3: I'm interested in your take on the Will Smith Jada
47:13
Speaker 3: Pinkett Smith relationship. We've seen it blow up previously, some
47:18
Speaker 3: bizarre antics between the two. Basically, Will Smith's sitting there
47:22
Speaker 3: whilst his wife detailed affair she had with her son's friend,
47:26
Speaker 3: remember that, and Will Smith is having to sit there
47:30
Speaker 3: and listen to the details of this. And of course
47:33
Speaker 3: there was that incident at the Oscars with Will Smith
47:36
Speaker 3: punching who did he punch Chris Rock who was hosting
47:40
Speaker 3: the Oscars. So this relationship seems a little bit toxic
47:44
Speaker 3: to me. I'm interested in your take.
47:47
Speaker 14: I mean, I think bizarre is an understandmer when it
47:50
Speaker 14: comes to the description of Will Smith and Jada Pinkett
47:52
Speaker 14: Smith's relationship. And to me, it seems like Jada Pinkett
47:55
Speaker 14: Smith is doing her best Michelle Obama impression because she
47:59
Speaker 14: had a very public affair with one of her children's
48:03
Speaker 14: friends where she humiliated Will on her podcast. They got
48:06
Speaker 14: billions of yous, probably not even millions, So I think
48:09
Speaker 14: she's been able to have her cake and eat it too,
48:12
Speaker 14: and for her to sit there and you know, act
48:14
Speaker 14: like she's a victim when in reality, Will Smith was
48:17
Speaker 14: one of the hottest actors in all of Hollywood and
48:20
Speaker 14: Jada Pinkett Smith did not have the same cachet that
48:22
Speaker 14: her husband did, and that shouldn't be a punishment on him.
48:25
Speaker 14: And really and truly, she's unhappy because she's probably in
48:29
Speaker 14: a loveless marriage where she knows that in order to
48:32
Speaker 14: get any sort of gratification she has to go find
48:34
Speaker 14: it from her child's friends. So, I mean, it's obviously
48:38
Speaker 14: toxic and bizarre. And that's just the reality of these
48:41
Speaker 14: Hollywood relationships. You know, they have this veneer that they're
48:44
Speaker 14: all good, when in reality they're incredibly toxic.
48:48
Speaker 3: Well, that relationship and the public airing of Dirty Laundry
48:52
Speaker 3: has so damaged Will Smith's image. I mean, you were right.
48:56
Speaker 3: He was I think the highest paid actor at one point,
49:00
Speaker 3: universally loved, and now after that whole furl the Oscars,
49:05
Speaker 3: he is just such a figure of mockery. Really. Now,
49:11
Speaker 3: I want to ask you about Savannah Guthrie. We've been
49:15
Speaker 3: speaking about her because her mother was kidnapped, but Savannah
49:20
Speaker 3: is now back on air.
49:22
Speaker 9: Welcome to you today on this Monday morning.
49:24
Speaker 5: We are so glad you started your week with us,
49:27
Speaker 5: and it is good to be home.
49:29
Speaker 6: Yes, it is good to have you back at home. Well,
49:31
Speaker 6: here we go, ready or not, Let's do the news.
49:33
Speaker 4: Yes, so good to have you back.
49:36
Speaker 3: It's an incredible effort to be fronting up with this
49:40
Speaker 3: still hanging over your head. Alex. It's I don't even
49:44
Speaker 3: know how she did it, you know.
49:47
Speaker 14: I think she's really brave. And I'm happy that Hoda
49:49
Speaker 14: wasn't able to steal her job at the Today's Show,
49:52
Speaker 14: because you know, Hoda already had her run. So I'm
49:54
Speaker 14: happy that Savannah got to keep her job after this
49:57
Speaker 14: horrible tragedy, considering there was you know a lot of
49:59
Speaker 14: talk speculation that she wasn't going to have that position anymore.
50:02
Speaker 14: So good for her, and I'm happy that she's starting to,
50:05
Speaker 14: I guess, come to terms with the horrible tragedy of
50:08
Speaker 14: losing her mom and one of the worst ways possible.
50:12
Speaker 3: Alex Stein, thank you so much for your time tonight,
50:16
Speaker 3: and that's all the time we have. Don't go anywhere.
50:19
Speaker 3: Newsnight is up next
