- 0:57Speaker 4: Himself to say JK.
- 0:59Speaker 2: Rowling's name putting money in the pocket in human legislation
- 1:04Speaker 2: right now through that she'll remain nameless.
- 1:07Speaker 3: But first, the uproar over the murder of eighteen year
- 1:11Speaker 3: old university student Henry Novak has escalated, with protest breaking
- 1:15Speaker 3: out in the UK. Novak was stabbed with a Sikh dagger.
- 1:19Speaker 3: The killer, Vicarim Digwa, was carrying the dagger for religious reasons,
- 1:25Speaker 3: and as we've covered on this program, it's what happened
- 1:28Speaker 3: after the stabbing that has caused mass outrage.
- 1:31Speaker 4: You see, the police.
- 1:33Speaker 3: Were more concerned by a claim from the assailant that
- 1:36Speaker 3: Henry had racially abused him. Instead of arresting the guilty
- 1:40Speaker 3: party and rendering aid to Henry, the police handcuffed the
- 1:44Speaker 3: eighteen year old, even as he told them again and
- 1:48Speaker 3: again and again that he had been stabbed and that
- 1:51Speaker 3: he could not breathe, and awarding this footage is distressing.
- 1:55Speaker 5: And humbry at the hand in the cuff make.
- 2:14Speaker 3: They handcuffed him and read in his rights as he
- 2:17Speaker 3: died in front of them. They treated him worse than
- 2:20Speaker 3: you treat an animal in distress or because of a false.
- 2:24Speaker 4: Claim of hate speech of racial abuse.
- 2:27Speaker 3: Hampshire Police claim that the police actions or delays in
- 2:31Speaker 3: providing medical assistance didn't cause Novak's death. The police have
- 2:36Speaker 3: said that one of the officers involved in the scene
- 2:39Speaker 3: has resigned, three others remain on the job. The anger
- 2:43Speaker 3: from the community is searing.
- 2:53Speaker 6: Did that everything you've been trying the same man after
- 3:04Speaker 6: kill Why Boye the white boy die?
- 3:08Speaker 4: That was Southampton.
- 3:09Speaker 3: And here you'll see a crowd of protesters demand police
- 3:14Speaker 3: take a knee for Henry, just like members of the
- 3:16Speaker 3: constabulary took a knee for George Floyd. And in this
- 3:29Speaker 3: next clip you have a couple of protesters confronting an
- 3:32Speaker 3: officer outside the police station.
- 3:36Speaker 7: And care your respect for Henry. Your officers assisted in
- 3:39Speaker 7: that man's death after four and I was to get
- 3:43Speaker 7: your offered.
- 3:44Speaker 8: People.
- 3:45Speaker 4: Have me tell you.
- 3:47Speaker 7: It's you in every police office in the force. Your
- 3:51Speaker 7: left ideology is walking in his ruining the country where
- 3:55Speaker 7: sicker is disgusted your standard.
- 4:00Speaker 3: You're right and Prime Minister Kirs Starma posted this statement
- 4:07Speaker 3: on x about the case.
- 4:08Speaker 9: I have seen the body calm footage. It's harrowing and
- 4:14Speaker 9: I have to say, as a father of a seventeen
- 4:17Speaker 9: year old boy, I felt sick watching it. It is
- 4:22Speaker 9: absolutely right that the IOPC are looking at this. There
- 4:26Speaker 9: are clearly serious questions that need to be addressed, not
- 4:30Speaker 9: least how accusations of racism informed the decision.
- 4:35Speaker 3: Making, and the Prime Minister has been critical of Nigel Farage.
- 4:39Speaker 3: He has accused the Reform leader of politicizing the event.
- 4:43Speaker 3: He said, Nigel Farage is completely wrong to use this
- 4:48Speaker 3: to try and create division and joining me now is
- 4:51Speaker 3: Deputy Executive director of the Institute of Public Affairs Daniel
- 4:55Speaker 3: While Dan, what happened to Henry Novak is among I've
- 4:59Speaker 3: got to say the most terrific things I've ever seen,
- 5:03Speaker 3: and it didn't happen in isolation. We've seen the police
- 5:06Speaker 3: force in the UK be captured by leftist ideology. We
- 5:11Speaker 3: saw it through the Grooming gang scandal. We've seen it
- 5:14Speaker 3: with hundreds of people being terrorized over mean tweets and memes,
- 5:19Speaker 3: and now this.
- 5:21Speaker 10: Well, the UK is clearly now a failed state.
- 5:24Speaker 11: People just don't have any confidence that police or many
- 5:27Speaker 11: other institutions are going to treat them fairly. That's been
- 5:29Speaker 11: obvious for a long time now. I mean it's taken
- 5:32Speaker 11: this absolute tragedy to sort of sheet home that reality
- 5:35Speaker 11: to a lot of people. I mean, kis Darma. His
- 5:38Speaker 11: address was completely and totally pathetic. I mean, he is
- 5:40Speaker 11: complicit in the downfall of his own country. There is
- 5:44Speaker 11: not just a two tiered policing system, but it's something
- 5:47Speaker 11: that's much more insidious and much worse than that, which
- 5:50Speaker 11: as you rightly identify. It's the idea of people being
- 5:53Speaker 11: treated as equals before the law has been replaced with
- 5:57Speaker 11: the idea of woke reverse race, which is now literally
- 6:02Speaker 11: resulting in innocent people dying.
- 6:05Speaker 3: Do you see parallels with what's happening here with our
- 6:08Speaker 3: police force? Are they also being captured by leftist ideology?
- 6:13Speaker 11: Sadly they have, and certainly at a leadership level. I
- 6:16Speaker 11: mean I always have a lot of sympathy for those
- 6:19Speaker 11: who are on the front line because I think most
- 6:21Speaker 11: people join the police to do the right thing, because
- 6:23Speaker 11: they want to help protect the community.
- 6:24Speaker 10: But definitely the leadership of.
- 6:25Speaker 11: Victoria police has allowed itself to become an arm of
- 6:29Speaker 11: the political operation of the government. I mean that was
- 6:31Speaker 11: obvious in COVID, the double standard that was there. They
- 6:35Speaker 11: also took a knee to the Black Lives Matter. They
- 6:39Speaker 11: allowed that protest to go ahead, remember during COVID, but
- 6:42Speaker 11: people that were protesting the lockdowns were not only not
- 6:45Speaker 11: allowed to do it, but the police shot them with
- 6:46Speaker 11: rubber bullets. And then they wonder why people don't sign
- 6:49Speaker 11: up to the police force, and they wonder why people
- 6:51Speaker 11: don't care what they have to say. So you know,
- 6:53Speaker 11: these and the result of this, by the way, is lawlessness,
- 6:56Speaker 11: and that's not a good thing. We want to have
- 6:58Speaker 11: a society where people tryst law enforcement, but now they don't.
- 7:02Speaker 2: Oh.
- 7:02Speaker 3: I saw a real shift in attitudes to police during
- 7:06Speaker 3: COVID from people who typically would have great respect for
- 7:11Speaker 3: law and order.
- 7:12Speaker 4: And there was a shift.
- 7:14Speaker 3: And you can see with those clips if we've just played,
- 7:17Speaker 3: there is real anger not just at the government, not
- 7:20Speaker 3: just at police command, but even on those working at
- 7:24Speaker 3: the coal face there. They are now seen as complicit
- 7:27Speaker 3: in what's happening. And I guess when you've got a
- 7:29Speaker 3: culture that's that rotten over decades, it does seep down
- 7:34Speaker 3: to those working on the coal face.
- 7:37Speaker 10: It could do.
- 7:37Speaker 11: And I think and what also happens is the good
- 7:40Speaker 11: ones leave as well. That's true, you know, so the
- 7:42Speaker 11: ones that sort of go, look, I didn't sign up
- 7:44Speaker 11: for this, they're the first ones to leave. And then
- 7:46Speaker 11: you're left with the ones that sort of go on
- 7:48Speaker 11: with it. So look, unfortunately, this is going to take
- 7:51Speaker 11: I mean, I don't know if it can be fixed,
- 7:52Speaker 11: and if it can, it's going to take more than
- 7:54Speaker 11: a generation to do so.
- 7:56Speaker 3: Now, Brendan O'Neill wrote a brilliant piece for Spine on
- 8:00Speaker 3: this issue. He wrote, a boy's final moments were filled
- 8:03Speaker 3: with the defamatory taunts of his murderer, who falsely accused
- 8:08Speaker 3: Henry of racism and assault, and the sterile contempt of
- 8:12Speaker 3: the state. He prayed upon Henry, this is the killer.
- 8:15Speaker 3: And then he prayed upon the ruling orders missionary zeal
- 8:19Speaker 3: regarding racism. He understood, as we all do, that the
- 8:22Speaker 3: word racism has an almost hypnotic effect on the twenty
- 8:27Speaker 3: first century ruling class. And O'Neill I think made the
- 8:31Speaker 3: very excellent point to Dan that the lefties who are
- 8:33Speaker 3: now urging people not to politicize this issue were very
- 8:37Speaker 3: happy to politicize George Floyd's murder. He wrote to the
- 8:41Speaker 3: same posh leftist who responded to the death of a
- 8:45Speaker 3: man four thousand miles from Britain by taking a knee, rioting,
- 8:49Speaker 3: tearing down statues and barking silence is violence at anyone
- 8:53Speaker 3: who refused to partake in their auguye of performative virtue
- 8:57Speaker 3: are now saying, don't politicize the death of Henry Novak.
- 9:02Speaker 11: Yeah, and I think, as we've talked about before, what
- 9:05Speaker 11: happens is the left tend to co op institutions and
- 9:09Speaker 11: use them for their own ends, and then they complain
- 9:12Speaker 11: when others do the same thing. And so the problem
- 9:15Speaker 11: that we're going to have is when those on the
- 9:18Speaker 11: right getting power, they're probably going to use these institutions
- 9:21Speaker 11: against the left. And that's not a good place to
- 9:24Speaker 11: be in as a society, because we want these institutions
- 9:27Speaker 11: to be neutral. But the left haven't understood for a
- 9:30Speaker 11: long time they're playing with fire and really the population
- 9:34Speaker 11: of western countries have had enough of it, and so
- 9:37Speaker 11: what we're seeing is really the destruction of centuries old
- 9:41Speaker 11: institutions because of exactly the reason that Brendan has outlined.
- 9:45Speaker 11: So you know, sadly we're not going to return to
- 9:50Speaker 11: the status quo that we used to have.
- 9:53Speaker 3: Now, let's get to some local news. Defense Minister Richard
- 9:56Speaker 3: Miles has warned xenophobia is making Australia less safe in
- 10:01Speaker 3: a veiled attack against One Nation. Days after One Nation
- 10:04Speaker 3: leader Pauline Hanson said she was against mass migration and
- 10:07Speaker 3: promised to cap visas at one hundred and thirty thousand
- 10:10Speaker 3: a year, Miles delivered a speech at the Defending Australia
- 10:14Speaker 3: Summit where he said this.
- 10:17Speaker 1: I mean, it is utterly unacceptable that for a country
- 10:20Speaker 1: where fully one fourth of our citizens are born overseas,
- 10:24Speaker 1: that we have leading politicians who are seeking to draw
- 10:28Speaker 1: a distinction between migrants and Australians.
- 10:34Speaker 4: D and dear May. It's like he's using UK Labour's
- 10:37Speaker 4: playbook there.
- 10:38Speaker 3: We are seeing so many parallels between what's happening here
- 10:41Speaker 3: with one nation and reform there. We just seem to
- 10:44Speaker 3: be about a decade behind.
- 10:46Speaker 10: Perhaps well, firstly, he is wrong.
- 10:47Speaker 11: It's not one fourth. It's actually one third that were
- 10:49Speaker 11: born overseas, so he doesn't even know that. It's kind
- 10:52Speaker 11: of like his defense numbers. He's had no idea what
- 10:53Speaker 11: he's talking about. Look, I mean, this is one of
- 10:57Speaker 11: the dumbest things I've ever heard. I mean, the idea
- 10:59Speaker 11: that a phobia. He has no evidence of that whatsoever.
- 11:02Speaker 11: I mean, Richard Marles, if you think Australia is a
- 11:04Speaker 11: racist country, come out and say it. It gives them
- 11:06Speaker 11: evidence rather than hiding behind this. The biggest threat to
- 11:09Speaker 11: our country is that you're an incompetent defense minister that
- 11:13Speaker 11: has no idea what he's doing. We're completely underprepared for
- 11:17Speaker 11: the situation.
- 11:18Speaker 10: That we're in.
- 11:19Speaker 11: You're not spending enough money on defense, you're shutting down
- 11:21Speaker 11: the basis that we need. We're not going to get
- 11:23Speaker 11: the submarines that we need. And then you're pointing the
- 11:25Speaker 11: finger at Australians, calling them racists and saying that they're
- 11:28Speaker 11: the problem. And then you scratch your head wondering why
- 11:30Speaker 11: people are voting for one nation. I mean, these guys
- 11:32Speaker 11: are total jokers.
- 11:33Speaker 3: Dan, We've seen this before in this country were authority
- 11:37Speaker 3: is scared mongering about the right wing, talking about right
- 11:40Speaker 3: wing threats being a bigger issue than Islamists threats.
- 11:44Speaker 4: What exactly does.
- 11:46Speaker 3: The minister mean when he says in a phobia and
- 11:49Speaker 3: to use safety as an argument, saying that xenophobia reduces
- 11:53Speaker 3: our safety, it's very cynical.
- 11:55Speaker 11: Well, I think it's effective among the political class, but
- 11:57Speaker 11: I don't think the public like it or buy at all.
- 12:00Speaker 11: I mean, does anyone seriously think that, you know, xenophobia
- 12:05Speaker 11: is the biggest risk that we face.
- 12:07Speaker 10: And look, I think the other point is and.
- 12:08Speaker 3: I would love to hear his definition of xenophobia because
- 12:12Speaker 3: I think it would be well, I just think it
- 12:14Speaker 3: would be a very extensive one. It would be things like,
- 12:18Speaker 3: if you say I'm against mass migration, then you xenophobic,
- 12:23Speaker 3: and that would make the majority of Australian xenophobic.
- 12:26Speaker 11: The other thing, the reason they use this language is
- 12:28Speaker 11: they like to use the language of national security as
- 12:31Speaker 11: a tool to engage in censorship and political censorship and
- 12:35Speaker 11: misinformation and things like that. So don't be surprised if
- 12:38Speaker 11: you start seeing things from the government which is basically saying, well,
- 12:42Speaker 11: we need to police the debate about immigration from a
- 12:45Speaker 11: national security perspective.
- 12:46Speaker 4: Absolutely now.
- 12:48Speaker 3: One of the nation's top economists has predicted the RBA
- 12:52Speaker 3: will raise rates twice more this year following the Fair
- 12:55Speaker 3: Work Commissions ruling on the minimum wage. From July one,
- 12:59Speaker 3: minimum ward ages will increase by four point seventy five percent,
- 13:03Speaker 3: or from twenty four dollars ninety five to twenty six
- 13:05Speaker 3: dollars forty four AMP. Chief economist Shane Oliver said with
- 13:09Speaker 3: inflation raging at four point two percent, the RBA would
- 13:13Speaker 3: be worried. This will add to cost pressures in the economy,
- 13:16Speaker 3: which businesses then pass on as high prices.
- 13:19Speaker 4: Dan, this is going to tip some people over the age.
- 13:22Speaker 3: We've got so many suffering economic from economic hardship who
- 13:27Speaker 3: are just barely holding on and if their mortgage payments
- 13:30Speaker 3: rise two more times this year alone, yeah, some will
- 13:34Speaker 3: have to sell their homes.
- 13:36Speaker 12: Yep.
- 13:37Speaker 11: I think the issue here is that the wage rise
- 13:41Speaker 11: is barely even going to keep pace with inflation anyway, right,
- 13:44Speaker 11: So basically the Fair Work Commission ruling is to keep
- 13:46Speaker 11: people steady in terms of in terms of where they are,
- 13:50Speaker 11: and you know, like you've talked about, when you know
- 13:52Speaker 11: the solution is to increase interest rates, we then punishes
- 13:55Speaker 11: mortgage holders unfairly. It also punishes low income earners because
- 13:58Speaker 11: they feel the effects of inflation the most as well.
- 14:01Speaker 11: And so ultimately the fault here is with the government.
- 14:03Speaker 11: And when we're seeing the figures out today on GDP
- 14:06Speaker 11: where once again ten, it's now ten out of fifteen
- 14:09Speaker 11: quarters under this government, GDP has gone backwards. You know,
- 14:13Speaker 11: this is the worst set of economic numbers we've ever
- 14:15Speaker 11: seen since digitized records began, and it's working Australians who
- 14:19Speaker 11: are copying it in the neck.
- 14:21Speaker 4: Dan wil thank you so much for your time tonight.
- 14:23Speaker 10: Thank you.
- 14:24Speaker 3: A gender clinic operated in association with Australia's most powerful
- 14:28Speaker 3: transgender lobby group ACN has been hit with complaints filed
- 14:33Speaker 3: with the national health and corporate regulators. The complaints alleged
- 14:37Speaker 3: the Collido Health Center, which provides so called gender firming
- 14:41Speaker 3: hormone therapy and surgical referrals, systematically hides potentially life threatening
- 14:47Speaker 3: medical risks and engages in misleading advertising. Complaints say the
- 14:52Speaker 3: clinic provides no information on the website about parental consent requirements,
- 14:57Speaker 3: minor specific assessment protocols, or age differentiated risks. The clinic
- 15:03Speaker 3: claims it is a separate entity to ACON, with its
- 15:06Speaker 3: own CEO and board of directors, but over a year
- 15:09Speaker 3: after the clinique opened, it lists ACON CEO Michael Woodhouse
- 15:14Speaker 3: as introm CEO and ACON president Justin Coonan as.
- 15:18Speaker 4: Chair of the board.
- 15:20Speaker 3: A spokesperson for Collido said its clinicians discuss all risks
- 15:25Speaker 3: with patients prior to getting consent, and information on the
- 15:28Speaker 3: Collider website does not and should not form part of
- 15:32Speaker 3: the consent process. The place for discussions about risks, benefits
- 15:37Speaker 3: and alternative treatment options is the consulting room, not a website.
- 15:42Speaker 3: Joining me now for more on this is Women's Forum
- 15:45Speaker 3: Australia Head of advocacy is Stephanie Bastian Stephanie, what more
- 15:50Speaker 3: can you tell me about this clinic?
- 15:55Speaker 13: Well, I think it's very clear from the complaint that
- 15:57Speaker 13: what they're doing is a classic example of miss leading advertising.
- 16:01Speaker 13: I mean, ACON prides itself on being the national body,
- 16:04Speaker 13: the go to body for things around gender distress, gender
- 16:08Speaker 13: affirming care, and so regardless of which clinic parents end
- 16:12Speaker 13: up taking to their children to to treat them, they
- 16:14Speaker 13: are still getting information from this website when they are
- 16:17Speaker 13: first perhaps experiencing this in their child. It's extremely damaging
- 16:22Speaker 13: that they do not have the terrible side effects of
- 16:25Speaker 13: these treatments, including infertility, damage to bone growth, even impacts
- 16:31Speaker 13: on brain development. These are all very serious side effects
- 16:35Speaker 13: of the treatments that they are pushing. Now this complaint
- 16:39Speaker 13: has been.
- 16:39Speaker 4: Lodged with the A Triple C.
- 16:41Speaker 13: Now my concern is that the A Triple C is
- 16:43Speaker 13: actually signed up to Acon's program. They won a bronze
- 16:47Speaker 13: award and they're now striving for silver. How do you
- 16:50Speaker 13: have an organization, government body that's meant to provide oversight
- 16:54Speaker 13: now suddenly being charged with reviewing what's going on in
- 16:57Speaker 13: this clinic. It's an absolute disgrace. Well done to watchtol
- 17:01Speaker 13: waiting and Catherinekarena for actually exposing this in the work
- 17:05Speaker 13: that they're doing in holding them to account.
- 17:09Speaker 3: Now, Stephanie, you've written an excellent piece for The Spectator
- 17:13Speaker 3: about how women in public life are the gatekeepers of
- 17:17Speaker 3: gender ideology. And despite the disadvantages to our sex you,
- 17:22Speaker 3: women are now at an above parity at almost entry
- 17:25Speaker 3: level at every level of the public service. So where
- 17:28Speaker 3: are the better outcomes? Quantity is not quality. Filling the
- 17:33Speaker 3: room with women who all think identically is not diversity.
- 17:37Speaker 3: It is a monoculture wearing the costume of progress. It's
- 17:42Speaker 3: a very good point and sadly it's evident that when
- 17:45Speaker 3: it comes to this issue, when it comes to protecting
- 17:48Speaker 3: female only spaces and sports, it is women who are
- 17:52Speaker 3: most likely to push the agenda of the radical trans lobby.
- 17:59Speaker 13: Oh absolutely, and this is a separate debate on the
- 18:01Speaker 13: origins of gender ideology. But the fact remains that in
- 18:04Speaker 13: government we have a majority female government in the Albanese government.
- 18:09Speaker 13: Every letter that we write to get male PEP petrators
- 18:11Speaker 13: out of female prisons, we're pushed back from you know,
- 18:14Speaker 13: corrections ministers like Harriet Sching or health ministers who don't
- 18:18Speaker 13: want to hear about the issues facing women and girls,
- 18:21Speaker 13: and it's an absolute disgrace. And there are more women
- 18:24Speaker 13: dominating in all of these areas in the public service.
- 18:27Speaker 4: In positions of power.
- 18:28Speaker 13: I'm not talking about the public servants that turn up
- 18:30Speaker 13: and just do their job, but the women holding power,
- 18:32Speaker 13: genuine power like Ana Coody paid half a million dollars
- 18:35Speaker 13: a year to interpret the Sex Discrimination Act not the
- 18:38Speaker 13: Gender Discrimination Act, and they are over and overgoing against
- 18:42Speaker 13: women like Sale Grover Lesbian Action Group, and I think
- 18:45Speaker 13: unless they're held accountable, they're going to continue doing it.
- 18:48Speaker 13: I don't buy into this handmaid and doing the bidding
- 18:51Speaker 13: of men. These are qualified women who know exactly what
- 18:54Speaker 13: they're doing, and they're going to continue doing it until
- 18:57Speaker 13: they're called out for it.
- 19:00Speaker 4: We've got a labor government at the moment.
- 19:02Speaker 3: Is there any change to this viewpoint diversity when we
- 19:06Speaker 3: have conservative governments in power.
- 19:09Speaker 4: I haven't detected that.
- 19:10Speaker 13: I've got to say, well, I think the point of
- 19:13Speaker 13: difference there is there are some very strong women leading
- 19:16Speaker 13: the cause on this Chandler, bet MacArthur, Moiradeeming, But in
- 19:21Speaker 13: terms of overall institutional change, I think there's a reason
- 19:24Speaker 13: why one nation and Pauline Hansen's party is full steam
- 19:27Speaker 13: ahead because people want a government that is going to
- 19:31Speaker 13: deliver on what they commit to. So it's not enough
- 19:33Speaker 13: to have a voice here or there. They want genuine,
- 19:37Speaker 13: strong change. They want that consistent change. So I think
- 19:40Speaker 13: that so long as we keep pushing from the sidelines,
- 19:44Speaker 13: and so long as you know, people in Parliament who
- 19:46Speaker 13: have the power, like Pauline push from the other side,
- 19:49Speaker 13: it'll certainly drive a change in the political landscape, which
- 19:52Speaker 13: it seems to be doing.
- 19:54Speaker 4: Stephanie Bastian, thank you so much for your time tonight.
- 19:57Speaker 3: Coming up, Lefties Losing It and the latest from the US,
- 20:01Speaker 3: including Trump accuser Egene Carroll facing a perjury investigation.
- 20:07Speaker 4: Josh Hammer is next.
- 20:18Speaker 3: You're watching the Reader Pannehy Show, and it's time for
- 20:21Speaker 3: lefting is losing it. And we have a saying around here,
- 20:24Speaker 3: if the left didn't have double standards, that have no
- 20:27Speaker 3: standards at all. Here is Democrat Senator Chris Murphy illustrating
- 20:32Speaker 3: that point on CNN.
- 20:33Speaker 14: I think it's hard to just say everybody should be
- 20:36Speaker 14: good and moral. I think you've got to create a
- 20:37Speaker 14: set of rules that promote goodness, promote the common good
- 20:42Speaker 14: and that's what this book is really about.
- 20:44Speaker 4: Should those rules apply to Democrats too?
- 20:46Speaker 14: I mean, do you support grand partner even in the
- 20:50Speaker 14: week of all of this? Yeah, I mean I haven't
- 20:52Speaker 14: you followed the minute by minute of what's happened over
- 20:54Speaker 14: the last few days. But I do think there's a difference.
- 20:57Speaker 3: Oh, he thinks there's a difference, does he? So he
- 20:59Speaker 3: wants us a set of rules that promote goodness, but
- 21:02Speaker 3: in the same interview he refuses to apply those standards
- 21:06Speaker 3: to his fellow Democrat Graham plattnerw you remember him, the
- 21:10Speaker 3: Nazi tattoo wearing freak show who wishes death upon purple
- 21:14Speaker 3: heart recipients, the man democrats want to represent them in Maine.
- 21:19Speaker 4: Goodness me. Now it is Pride Month, a whole month.
- 21:23Speaker 3: Of extra nonsense, and Hollywood is still operating under the
- 21:27Speaker 3: notion that jk Rowling, the author of the Harry Potter books,
- 21:30Speaker 3: is some hideous figot just because she knows what a
- 21:33Speaker 3: woman is. Let's hear from Andrew Garfield. You may know
- 21:37Speaker 3: him better as Spider Man, who can't even bring.
- 21:40Speaker 4: Himself to say jk Rowling's name.
- 21:43Speaker 2: But honestly, I hadn't watched the Harry Potters until recently. No,
- 21:47Speaker 2: and he's really good, and those Harry Potter movies, those
- 21:50Speaker 2: Harry Potmers are really good.
- 21:51Speaker 4: They like an expected Yeah, yeah.
- 21:55Speaker 2: Yeah, I know it's controversial and like we shouldn't be,
- 21:57Speaker 2: you know, putting money in the pocket of in humane
- 22:01Speaker 2: legislation right now. Through that, she'll remain nameless.
- 22:05Speaker 3: But pathetic, the very definition of a weak. Soy boy,
- 22:10Speaker 3: let's stick with the pride theme and hear from this
- 22:13Speaker 3: confused lass.
- 22:14Speaker 8: Okay, question, would you rather go to gay pride in
- 22:16Speaker 8: Israel or Palestine?
- 22:20Speaker 10: I don't think.
- 22:20Speaker 15: I don't think the Israelis would like me very much.
- 22:22Speaker 10: You know what? Why honestly you would fit in pretty
- 22:25Speaker 10: well in Telvi.
- 22:27Speaker 4: So she doesn't think they'll like her in Israel. Love.
- 22:31Speaker 4: Try wearing that outfit in Gaza. You wouldn't last five
- 22:34Speaker 4: minutes and one more confused soul.
- 22:37Speaker 3: Here is zach'sage speaking to another activist, and things escalate
- 22:42Speaker 3: very quickly.
- 22:42Speaker 10: Here, how does your kafia support your pride?
- 22:46Speaker 11: Well?
- 22:46Speaker 4: For me, it's about liberation.
- 22:48Speaker 15: My community is not liberated.
- 22:50Speaker 13: We're Palestinians deserve rights, like even if they don't have
- 22:53Speaker 13: rights in their homeland.
- 22:55Speaker 10: Do you support Israel.
- 22:56Speaker 16: No, did you know Israel is the only country in
- 22:58Speaker 16: the Middle East where it's even to be I.
- 23:01Speaker 7: Don't think that's completely true.
- 23:04Speaker 3: How many immigrants I've been detained and detained?
- 23:08Speaker 4: My eyes were talking against Carlistine.
- 23:11Speaker 10: Do you think that the Kafir and the KKK are
- 23:13Speaker 10: the same thing?
- 23:14Speaker 17: Isn't it your part?
- 23:15Speaker 10: How is that different?
- 23:18Speaker 16: That is what the KKK would wear, man, you feel
- 23:20Speaker 16: good about it?
- 23:21Speaker 10: If you went to Gazi would be thrown off a building.
- 23:23Speaker 1: Man.
- 23:25Speaker 4: I loved the part where she was twerking for Gaza.
- 23:28Speaker 4: That is brave.
- 23:29Speaker 3: Now. There was an orgy of selective amnesia and passive
- 23:32Speaker 3: aggressive weirdness on the View overnight cause doctor Jill was
- 23:37Speaker 3: in the house. Yes, Jill Biden is flogging an awful
- 23:40Speaker 3: book and that means going on every show that will
- 23:42Speaker 3: have her. And the view ladies poured on the fake adulation,
- 23:47Speaker 3: but there were a few uncomfortable moments of scrutiny. What
- 23:51Speaker 3: cheer as Sunny Houston brings up Kamala Harris's book, which
- 23:55Speaker 3: Doctor Jill hasn't even bothered to read. It seems Kamala
- 23:59Speaker 3: was a little bit more honest about relations at the
- 24:02Speaker 3: White House.
- 24:02Speaker 15: And I understand you have not read it. But in
- 24:05Speaker 15: her book she alludes to a much more fracture relationship
- 24:10Speaker 15: between the Bidens and the em MOFs. She writes that
- 24:14Speaker 15: your family asked if she and Doug were loyal to
- 24:18Speaker 15: your family, and she wrote that her husband, Doug said,
- 24:22Speaker 15: they hide you away for four years, give you impossible
- 24:25Speaker 15: bleep jobs. Don't correct the record when those tasks are mischaracterized.
- 24:29Speaker 15: Never fight back when you're attacked, Never praise your accomplishments.
- 24:33Speaker 15: And then he added, and still they have to ask
- 24:36Speaker 15: if we're loyal. Yeah, does how do you respect?
- 24:42Speaker 12: I never saw that. I never felt that way with
- 24:46Speaker 12: Kamala and Doug. I thought we were a great team.
- 24:49Speaker 3: Oh, that was awkward. She thought they were a great team.
- 24:53Speaker 3: This selective blindness that doctor Jill suffers from clearly extends
- 24:57Speaker 3: well beyond Joe's cognitive decline, and perhaps doctor Jill is
- 25:01Speaker 3: suffering some sort of cognitive decline of her own, because
- 25:04Speaker 3: she again forgot about how many children Hunter Biden has
- 25:09Speaker 3: and that's doing well.
- 25:10Speaker 12: Hunter is Oh my gosh, Hunter is doing so great,
- 25:13Speaker 12: and he's sober, he has a beautiful child.
- 25:17Speaker 4: And then the worst name named Bo who's named Bow.
- 25:21Speaker 12: He named his son after Bow, and Bow named his
- 25:24Speaker 12: son after Hunter.
- 25:25Speaker 4: So yeah, just shows the bond. Yeah, yeah, it shows
- 25:29Speaker 4: the bond. All right.
- 25:30Speaker 3: Let's not forget that Hunter was sleeping with Bo's widow.
- 25:35Speaker 4: Yeah, that happened to doctor Jill.
- 25:37Speaker 3: And while he was shacked up with his brother's widow,
- 25:40Speaker 3: he got a striper pregnant. And to this day, the
- 25:43Speaker 3: Bidens do not acknowledge the existence of that little girl.
- 25:47Speaker 3: Her name is Navy Navy Biden Jill. Now, let's have
- 25:51Speaker 3: a look at this exchange between Secretary of State Micro
- 25:54Speaker 3: Rubio and Democrat Cory Booker about a potential deal with Iran.
- 25:59Speaker 4: It did not go well for.
- 26:00Speaker 7: Corey, and now we're begging to get back into a
- 26:03Speaker 7: deal that you all.
- 26:05Speaker 10: Trashed in the first place.
- 26:06Speaker 5: There's no one begging.
- 26:07Speaker 18: Clearly, this is b b your times up.
- 26:11Speaker 5: I want to adust these points because they go to
- 26:13Speaker 5: the heart of the matter. No one's begging for anything here.
- 26:15Speaker 5: The Iranians might be begging because their economies losing hundreds
- 26:19Speaker 5: and millions of dollars a day that they are losing. Understand,
- 26:22Speaker 5: Iran had street protests going on before all of this started.
- 26:25Speaker 5: All of those factors. Economic factors in Iran are far
- 26:28Speaker 5: worse today than they were six months ago when those
- 26:30Speaker 5: protests were happening. They have hyperinflation, their currency is completely devalued.
- 26:35Speaker 5: They're struggling to make payroll for their government workers. Iran
- 26:37Speaker 5: is in a very serious situation.
- 26:40Speaker 3: Joining me now is Newsweek's senior editor at large, Josh Hammer. Josh,
- 26:45Speaker 3: what did you make of Ribio's comments there?
- 26:47Speaker 4: He also said the war with Iran is over?
- 26:51Speaker 10: Well read, I'm not telling you sure.
- 26:53Speaker 16: What the war's over necessarily mean is there is there
- 26:58Speaker 16: entirely no possibility of resumption any kind of canetic hostility.
- 27:02Speaker 16: It seems to me like that, But that is at
- 27:04Speaker 16: this point probably a bit of a stretch there, in
- 27:06Speaker 16: my opinion, though it should not be a stretch read
- 27:09Speaker 16: as you and I I think of this guss there,
- 27:11Speaker 16: I'm not chellingly sure if my restarted that this operation
- 27:13Speaker 16: is fully complete yet to be very candidate. To be clear,
- 27:16Speaker 16: the running regime is obviously hurting tremendously now relative to
- 27:19Speaker 16: where it was three and a half months ago prior
- 27:21Speaker 16: to the commencement of Operation Epic Fury. Commenty taken out
- 27:24Speaker 16: on the first day the Air Force and Navy destroyed,
- 27:27Speaker 16: sunk obliterated within days, a week or two at the most,
- 27:32Speaker 16: But the regime still has a capability of making a
- 27:34Speaker 16: nuclear weapon. They still have the capability of launching blistered
- 27:37Speaker 16: missiles all throughout the region.
- 27:39Speaker 10: There. So I would personally encourage my own capacity.
- 27:42Speaker 16: I would encourage a president to consider actually trying to
- 27:45Speaker 16: really go in there and meaningfully finishing this job. I
- 27:47Speaker 16: will say this though, I trust Mark Rubio implicitly on
- 27:50Speaker 16: most things, but definitely on the issue of ron Mark
- 27:53Speaker 16: Rubio's man who has made a run a major issue
- 27:56Speaker 16: over the course of his entire public career, going back
- 27:58Speaker 16: to his early days, rise through the ranks of Florida
- 28:01Speaker 16: political circles there, and Rubio is a man that I
- 28:03Speaker 16: think those who are more hawkish on the Iran issue,
- 28:06Speaker 16: like myself, just simply trust implicitly there. So I don't
- 28:09Speaker 16: think Rubio is mincing any words here. I think that
- 28:12Speaker 16: he is the right man to be in charge out
- 28:14Speaker 16: this time there. As with Corey Booker, I have no
- 28:16Speaker 16: idea what that Corey Booker Franklin is trying to do
- 28:18Speaker 16: at this point his political career. The man, the man
- 28:21Speaker 16: is basically just just stalling for time, waiting for some
- 28:24Speaker 16: pension of the age of sixty five. I think at
- 28:26Speaker 16: this point there, he's basically out of time there and
- 28:28Speaker 16: just trying to generate headlines, but any means necessary.
- 28:31Speaker 3: I think at this point, Josh, let's talk about Egene Carol.
- 28:36Speaker 3: I know you've done a deep dive into this case,
- 28:39Speaker 3: and President Donald Trump's lawyers have told the Supreme Court
- 28:42Speaker 3: they're going to be appealing the eighty three point three
- 28:45Speaker 3: million dollar awarded to Egene Carol, and she is herself
- 28:51Speaker 3: now being investigated. What can you tell me about this case?
- 28:54Speaker 3: What is the likely outcome? She's been investigated for perjury.
- 29:01Speaker 10: Okay, so this woman is an absolute lunatic. Let's start there.
- 29:04Speaker 16: That is a single most important fact, the single most
- 29:07Speaker 16: factually and legally important fact here in this case is
- 29:10Speaker 16: that this woman is an actual psychopath. She was on
- 29:12Speaker 16: CNN a handful of years ago, was talking about how
- 29:15Speaker 16: she is fantasized about rape. She says that a lot
- 29:18Speaker 16: of women fantasized about rape. This is the woman who
- 29:21Speaker 16: was accused Donald Trump of sexually assaulting or raping her
- 29:24Speaker 16: in a Bergdorf Goodman off Fifth Avenue three plus decades ago.
- 29:28Speaker 16: But by the way, she can't even remember exactly the date,
- 29:31Speaker 16: or of the week, or or even the month that
- 29:33Speaker 16: this alleged incident happened there, much like Christine Plasi forward
- 29:36Speaker 16: back during the whole Breck Kavanaugh kerfuffle back in twenty eighteen. There,
- 29:40Speaker 16: this woman can't even remember the exact dates of the
- 29:42Speaker 16: alleged incident in question. To make matters even worse. So
- 29:45Speaker 16: this came out in a New York magazine interview back
- 29:47Speaker 16: in twenty nineteen. So then Donald Trump comes in and says,
- 29:51Speaker 16: this woman's crazy, she's making it up.
- 29:53Speaker 10: I did not do this.
- 29:54Speaker 16: Then she sues Donald Trump for defamation for calling her
- 29:57Speaker 16: a liar.
- 29:58Speaker 10: Rita.
- 29:58Speaker 16: I want to pause there because as a lawyer, that
- 30:02Speaker 16: fact right there is one of the most remarkable things
- 30:05Speaker 16: that I've ever seen in a legal proceeding. You get
- 30:07Speaker 16: accused of being a rapist, the man a cuse says
- 30:11Speaker 16: I didn't do it. Okay, you're calling me a liar.
- 30:13Speaker 16: I'm suing here for defamation. But it gets worse because
- 30:16Speaker 16: that defamation suits has succeeded. That defamation suit has actually
- 30:21Speaker 16: succeeded there and in some in some we're looking at
- 30:24Speaker 16: just an absolutely astronomical sum of eighty three plus million dollars. Here,
- 30:28Speaker 16: the whole thing is one of the most absolutely farcical
- 30:32Speaker 16: stalinists of all the various elements of the Democrat lawfair
- 30:35Speaker 16: complex against Trump. And there have been many farcical elements,
- 30:38Speaker 16: including Alvin Bragg in New York City, Fannie Willis, the
- 30:40Speaker 16: whole band of villains there. This thing's near the top
- 30:43Speaker 16: of the list. Frankly, from my perspective, the good news,
- 30:45Speaker 16: as you allude to, is that Donald Trump's lawyers are appealing,
- 30:48Speaker 16: Neil are appealing on this. I ultimately expect that he
- 30:51Speaker 16: will be vindicated. But frankly, Egene Carroll is it's just
- 30:55Speaker 16: a total loon. And the fact that there was anyone
- 30:57Speaker 16: willing to take a woman who went on CNN and
- 30:59Speaker 16: said that she science is about being brave. The fact
- 31:01Speaker 16: that she is taken seriously by anyone by anyone speaks
- 31:05Speaker 16: everything everything about the sheer level of unhinged TDS Trump
- 31:10Speaker 16: arrangement syndrome that remains in America in the year twenty
- 31:12Speaker 16: twenty six, and says nothing, frankly about the credibility or
- 31:15Speaker 16: lack thereof, of the underlying legal case.
- 31:18Speaker 3: I recall that interview on CNN and the anchor could
- 31:22Speaker 3: not go to the ad break soon enough until which
- 31:25Speaker 3: he started talking about that it was very uncomfortable viewing. Indeed,
- 31:31Speaker 3: how did she get this eighty three million dollars?
- 31:35Speaker 4: Though?
- 31:35Speaker 3: If the case is so flimsy, if the whole thing
- 31:38Speaker 3: is so utterly absurd, is it just because it was
- 31:40Speaker 3: heard in Manhattan and it is a very very deep
- 31:44Speaker 3: blue city.
- 31:46Speaker 10: Yeah, that's basically.
- 31:48Speaker 16: I mean, let's think about the other case that was
- 31:50Speaker 16: brought against dond Trump in Manhattan. There's actually two other
- 31:52Speaker 16: cases that There's a Tiss James fishing expedition against the
- 31:55Speaker 16: Trump organization alleged corporate fraudulent bookkeeping garbage case, but even
- 32:00Speaker 16: more garbage case arguably, and again it's all relative.
- 32:03Speaker 10: These are to all terrible cases.
- 32:04Speaker 16: Is the Soros Fund that Alvin Bragg, which hunt involving
- 32:08Speaker 16: Stormy Daniels. There, this is a case rita. This particular case,
- 32:11Speaker 16: also with a Manhattan jury. The prosecutor Alvin Bragg, literally
- 32:15Speaker 16: never announced his theory of the case. He actually never
- 32:19Speaker 16: explains how he reported to get around the relevant statuementations there.
- 32:23Speaker 16: He literally never told the jury in the jury instructions,
- 32:27Speaker 16: what the actual predicate offense was in this weird kind
- 32:30Speaker 16: of attempt to circumvent the statuementation there, he never freaking
- 32:33Speaker 16: said it. I have never ever seen this covering law
- 32:36Speaker 16: ever in my entire little life in there.
- 32:38Speaker 10: And still what the jury do what they do?
- 32:40Speaker 16: They convicted. So I mean, we're talking here about New
- 32:42Speaker 16: York City. We're talking here about these far left, far
- 32:44Speaker 16: left jury pools. Unfortunately, Rita America in many ways a
- 32:48Speaker 16: great country there, but we are not immune to the
- 32:50Speaker 16: biases of left wing juries. And that's all that's happening here.
- 32:52Speaker 16: In Egen Carroll case as.
- 32:53Speaker 3: Well, and in that a Jane Carroll case, was there
- 32:57Speaker 3: ever any criminal conviction around rape sexual assault?
- 33:03Speaker 16: No, it was pure civil. It was a civil liability
- 33:07Speaker 16: of sexual assault. All this ultimately could be exonerated. But
- 33:12Speaker 16: frankly read I think even more so than kind of
- 33:14Speaker 16: legal overturn there, I think Donald Trump's a man whose
- 33:17Speaker 16: name has been dragged through the mud by all these people,
- 33:20Speaker 16: whether it's Stormy Daniels, Alvin Bragg, and this that there.
- 33:23Speaker 16: I think he's probably more ultimately interested in a vindication
- 33:26Speaker 16: in the court of public opinion than when it comes
- 33:28Speaker 16: to the actual money. To be clear, with money, it's
- 33:30Speaker 16: nice there, but Trump's worthwhile money there. I think he
- 33:32Speaker 16: probably cares more as a father than a grandfather about
- 33:35Speaker 16: just trying to clear his name in the court of
- 33:38Speaker 16: public opinion.
- 33:40Speaker 3: Absolutely and very interesting that they didn't go down the
- 33:44Speaker 3: criminal route because from what I understand, Josh, there is
- 33:48Speaker 3: no statute of limitations on a rape, is there? So
- 33:52Speaker 3: if you wanted to, you could pursue that if that's
- 33:55Speaker 3: what you say happened. Now, I want to play you
- 33:58Speaker 3: a clip from RFK Junior on the arrest of fifteen
- 34:02Speaker 3: people charged in connection with autism fraud schemes that targeted
- 34:07Speaker 3: more than ninety million in tax pay dollars.
- 34:10Speaker 8: Today's rests represent the largest art some fraud bus in
- 34:14Speaker 8: American history. This was not a paperwork error, It was
- 34:18Speaker 8: not a technical violation. This was an organized threat, organized
- 34:24Speaker 8: theft had exploited the most vulnerable children in America.
- 34:28Speaker 3: Josha, what more can you tell me about this and
- 34:31Speaker 3: other fears that cases like this are happening all across
- 34:35Speaker 3: the country.
- 34:35Speaker 4: This is just the tip of the iceberg.
- 34:38Speaker 16: So it is a tampa, a lot of it, by
- 34:40Speaker 16: the way, not necessarily this particular case, but a lot
- 34:42Speaker 16: of similar cases recently had focused around Los Angeles County.
- 34:45Speaker 16: Los Angeles County under under the mayorship there in the
- 34:48Speaker 16: city with Karen Bass the governor Gaven Newsom La has
- 34:51Speaker 16: really emerged as the medical fraud capital of America when
- 34:55Speaker 16: it comes especially to end of life care and hospice
- 34:58Speaker 16: care and things of that there. So a lot of
- 35:00Speaker 16: these pieces are being pulled together. You have JD. Vance,
- 35:03Speaker 16: who has taken on the role of the fraud zorro
- 35:05Speaker 16: in the United States, focus perhaps predominantly on rooting out
- 35:09Speaker 16: this Somali community fraud in places like Minneapolis and in Ohio,
- 35:13Speaker 16: the latter of which we learned about recently from Luke Rosiak,
- 35:16Speaker 16: who did great work over at The Daily. Why are
- 35:18Speaker 16: now you have RFK taking on autism fraud, the California
- 35:21Speaker 16: hospice end of life fraud. The whole picture rita kind
- 35:24Speaker 16: of summing up the various constituent parts here paints a
- 35:27Speaker 16: somewhat dire and morbid picture of mass medical and illness
- 35:32Speaker 16: related fraud in America that's been going on for a
- 35:35Speaker 16: very very long time now. The possibility that we just
- 35:39Speaker 16: didn't know about it until the Trump mistoration, I think
- 35:42Speaker 16: is so negligible as to be dismissed out of hands.
- 35:45Speaker 16: What I'm trying to say is that people knew about this,
- 35:46Speaker 16: they decided to look the other way. The laws simply
- 35:49Speaker 16: were not being enforced. That's actually a big difference I
- 35:52Speaker 16: would argue between a lot of the predecessors to the
- 35:55Speaker 16: Trump ministration and the Trump ministration, from the fraud investigations
- 36:00Speaker 16: and the finds of fraud all the way to things
- 36:02Speaker 16: like the fcca's enforcement of the equal time rule, where
- 36:06Speaker 16: the chair of Brendan Carr has got themselves in hot
- 36:08Speaker 16: water with Jimmy Kimmel and Stephen Colbert simply for choosing
- 36:12Speaker 16: to enforce a law that didn't go enforce for a
- 36:14Speaker 16: long time. So the administration, whether it goes to fraud,
- 36:17Speaker 16: whether it goes to the FCC, all the above, thereat
- 36:20Speaker 16: all they're trying to do there is actually enforce the
- 36:22Speaker 16: laws and the books. Unfortunately, America is a land in
- 36:24Speaker 16: the culture and a people, especially on the political left,
- 36:27Speaker 16: that have no sense of responsibility or respect for the
- 36:30Speaker 16: rule of law. They simply do not want those laws
- 36:33Speaker 16: to go enforce there. Therefore, when the laws are in forced,
- 36:35Speaker 16: they decide to just freak out in a bit of apoplexy.
- 36:39Speaker 16: But that's really all that's happening here is the laws
- 36:41Speaker 16: being enforced, and I say, good for the Trump administration.
- 36:45Speaker 3: Now, Josh, before you go, we've seen doctor Jill Biden.
- 36:48Speaker 4: She's a doctor on a book tour.
- 36:51Speaker 3: What do you make of her claims about life in
- 36:54Speaker 3: the White House, about Joe Biden's health, the relationship with
- 36:58Speaker 3: Kamala and do we know what sort of a book
- 37:01Speaker 3: advance she got, because I can't imagine too many rushing
- 37:04Speaker 3: out to buy this book.
- 37:06Speaker 16: Well, first of all, read, I'm happy that you clarified
- 37:08Speaker 16: that it is doctor Jill Biden, and I definitely don't
- 37:10Speaker 16: want Jill to be upset with you and I in
- 37:11Speaker 16: this conversation were happening. Look, Joe Biden is basically a
- 37:17Speaker 16: modern day Lady Macbeth. Okay, that is the analogy to
- 37:20Speaker 16: draw from Shakespeare. Is a woman who is just who
- 37:24Speaker 16: was a completely gung ho and zealous and trying to
- 37:28Speaker 16: acquire power at any and all costs. Her most recent
- 37:31Speaker 16: shtick is that she is saying that she was horrified
- 37:33Speaker 16: from Joe Biden, her husband, during the infamousy and n
- 37:36Speaker 16: debacle debate there and that she thought that she that
- 37:38Speaker 16: he was having a stroke on stage, but the actual
- 37:42Speaker 16: footage of the time showed later that evening at the
- 37:44Speaker 16: waffle house after the debate in Atlanta, Georgia, Joe Biden saying.
- 37:48Speaker 10: Joe, you did a great job, right. So the woman
- 37:51Speaker 10: is a liar.
- 37:52Speaker 16: She was the last one trying to ward off Barack
- 37:55Speaker 16: Obama Nancy Pelosi before they before Obama and Pelosi ultimately
- 37:58Speaker 16: were able to pull off the rates coup and to
- 38:01Speaker 16: depose by it in favor of Kamala Harris.
- 38:03Speaker 10: So she wanted to put your husband to the absolute limits.
- 38:05Speaker 16: Now she's trying to profit off of his name to
- 38:07Speaker 16: sell these books as you as you note, the book
- 38:09Speaker 16: will probably not sell a whole lot of copies there.
- 38:12Speaker 16: I'm not really sure what the publisher is thinking. Not
- 38:14Speaker 16: my problem, frankly, that's their problem. But she's just trying
- 38:18Speaker 16: to make the headlines. But what she really should be doing,
- 38:20Speaker 16: which you should be doing, is to care for her husband, who,
- 38:23Speaker 16: again I have not very nice things to say about
- 38:25Speaker 16: Joe Biden, but the man is not well.
- 38:27Speaker 10: The man is clearly not mentally well.
- 38:28Speaker 16: He is clearly not physically well, he's probably not emotionally well,
- 38:32Speaker 16: he's an old old man who deserves a wife who
- 38:36Speaker 16: actually cares for him. Call me old school, but I
- 38:38Speaker 16: think that when a spouse gets old, the other spouse
- 38:41Speaker 16: should actually focus on trying to care for that spouse
- 38:43Speaker 16: into their older years and give them a respectful, ultimately
- 38:46Speaker 16: final years, culminating in some sort of natural death when
- 38:51Speaker 16: death calls for all of us.
- 38:52Speaker 2: There.
- 38:52Speaker 16: She should not be going around the country trying to
- 38:54Speaker 16: hawk off of his name there and sell these books there.
- 38:56Speaker 16: The whole thing is just deeply sorted there.
- 38:58Speaker 10: But read.
- 38:58Speaker 16: If there's one thing we know about the Biding crime
- 39:00Speaker 16: family is that it's just mean above the most sordid
- 39:02Speaker 16: human beings possible, and this certainly is not different at all.
- 39:07Speaker 3: Josh Hammer, you summed it up beautifully. Thank you for
- 39:10Speaker 3: your time tonight. Appreciate what your think coming up. A
- 39:14Speaker 3: surprising vote speaks out against Grace Tame's ABC gig.
- 39:18Speaker 4: Diddie dun Levy has the details. Welcome Back.
- 39:32Speaker 3: The ABC has launched a new podcast with former Australian
- 39:35Speaker 3: of the Year Grace Tame, called Autistic as f The
- 39:40Speaker 3: podcast has been slammed by a number of critics online,
- 39:44Speaker 3: and surprisingly, fellow ABC lefty Charlie Pickering has called it problematic.
- 39:50Speaker 18: How do you feel about the fact that they hired
- 39:51Speaker 18: Grace Tame after all of that?
- 39:54Speaker 19: I think I do actually think it's problematic. That's my
- 39:56Speaker 19: personal opinion, and I think, as you would understand, and
- 40:02Speaker 19: as a Jewish Australian, there is a complete misunderstanding of
- 40:05Speaker 19: a lot of the words that are said and what
- 40:06Speaker 19: the true meaning of them are, and a lot of
- 40:08Speaker 19: people are using words and phrases that have meaning well
- 40:12Speaker 19: beyond what they think they do.
- 40:13Speaker 18: Do you really think that there's a misunderstanding? You think
- 40:15Speaker 18: she doesn't know that? Do you think people can actually
- 40:18Speaker 18: plead ignorance at this point?
- 40:21Speaker 19: I think you could argue a lot of people that
- 40:22Speaker 19: jump on protest bandwagons are ignorant a lot of the time,
- 40:26Speaker 19: and that's not that particular protest.
- 40:28Speaker 4: I think it's lots of them joining me.
- 40:30Speaker 3: Now is broadcasting Legend and Sky News contributor d d
- 40:34Speaker 3: Dune Levy Diddy.
- 40:36Speaker 4: What do you make of this decision by the ABC?
- 40:39Speaker 17: Well, first day, I want to congratulate Charlie Pickering for
- 40:42Speaker 17: going against the ABC group think on this. I think
- 40:45Speaker 17: this is a crazy decision and it doesn't align with
- 40:49Speaker 17: what we as Australians want our taxpayer dollars spent on.
- 40:53Speaker 17: It's clear that this is a project that Grace Tatum
- 40:55Speaker 17: came up with herself.
- 40:56Speaker 4: It's about her autism.
- 40:58Speaker 17: So I would like to know who opened the door
- 41:01Speaker 17: at the ABC and let her in and who ultimately
- 41:03Speaker 17: approved her being paid with taxpayer dollars to produce this
- 41:07Speaker 17: podcast series. And ultimately that has to stop with the
- 41:10Speaker 17: editor in chief of the ABC, Hugh Marx. He's got
- 41:13Speaker 17: questions to answer here about how she was allowed back
- 41:16Speaker 17: inside the fold, and it just gives this idea that
- 41:19Speaker 17: the ABC is a place where anti Israel people are
- 41:22Speaker 17: welcome well and with their fellow people who feel the same.
- 41:28Speaker 3: You look at their coverage of that issue and it's
- 41:30Speaker 3: pretty pretty evident where they stand as an institution. I mean,
- 41:34Speaker 3: they have disregarded their charter completely. Deddie, let's talk about
- 41:39Speaker 3: what some are calling the courtroom battle of the year.
- 41:42Speaker 3: By some, I mean me. Former Carton president Luke Sayers
- 41:46Speaker 3: has lost his bid to have his Dick pic defamation
- 41:49Speaker 3: case moved to the Family Court where it would have
- 41:52Speaker 3: been held in private. The case will be heard in
- 41:54Speaker 3: the Supreme Court. It's been slated for a hearing in November.
- 41:59Speaker 3: Now he's been sued by his strange wife, Kate Sayers.
- 42:02Speaker 4: She claims he blamed her for the unflattering.
- 42:06Speaker 3: Dick pic that was posted on his ex page public page.
- 42:12Speaker 3: This is going to be quite a trial if it
- 42:15Speaker 3: gets there. There are a lot of people saying that
- 42:18Speaker 3: the AFL Carton Football Club. There are a lot of
- 42:21Speaker 3: interested parties who don't want this in open court.
- 42:24Speaker 17: No, but I don't know how they extract themselves from
- 42:28Speaker 17: it while saving face. Because the AFL, as you mentioned,
- 42:34Speaker 17: they're invested in this because they had their integrity unit
- 42:37Speaker 17: investigate Luke Sayers and they basically wiped their hands and said, yep.
- 42:40Speaker 4: All fine.
- 42:41Speaker 17: We accept his stat deck in which he said that
- 42:44Speaker 17: allegedly allegedly said that his wife Kate had mental issues
- 42:49Speaker 17: and that was why she had posted this pick. And
- 42:52Speaker 17: she absolutely wants this air publicly. I love her tenacity
- 42:57Speaker 17: and you could just about hear all the newsrooms around
- 42:59Speaker 17: the country cheer what this decision came through. Because the
- 43:02Speaker 17: best disinfectant his sunlight. And Kate says wants this aired
- 43:05Speaker 17: publicly so she can clear her name, and Luke says
- 43:08Speaker 17: should want that too, because wasn't he hacked by somebody?
- 43:11Speaker 17: Didn't somebody get into his account? Wouldn't he want that
- 43:14Speaker 17: to be exposed so we can fine it.
- 43:15Speaker 3: That is what the integrity unit of the AFL accepted,
- 43:20Speaker 3: and they found no wrongdoing on his part. He did
- 43:23Speaker 3: step down as Carton President shortly after, and he was
- 43:26Speaker 3: also a boss of PwC.
- 43:29Speaker 4: So it's a powerful man we're talking about here now.
- 43:32Speaker 3: Tickets for the Songs of John Farnham Concert and Melbourne's
- 43:36Speaker 3: Rod Labor Arena have sowed dramatically in cost. Some of
- 43:40Speaker 3: these premium seats are going for sixteen hundred dollars.
- 43:44Speaker 4: Even tickets with heavily restricted.
- 43:46Speaker 3: Views are being offered at around four hundred dollars. The
- 43:50Speaker 3: concert is being promoted as both a celebration of John
- 43:53Speaker 3: Farnham and a fundraiser for head and neck cancer Australia.
- 43:57Speaker 3: It's been backed by the Victorian government. We love John Farnham,
- 44:02Speaker 3: but four hundred dollars for a restricted.
- 44:04Speaker 17: View, well even more than that. Sometime of the seats
- 44:06Speaker 17: were going for as much as sixteen hundred dollars. Look
- 44:08Speaker 17: this dynamic ticket pricing is is kind of like surge
- 44:11Speaker 17: pricing with the ride share. If there's great demand, it
- 44:15Speaker 17: costs more because the theory being that if the tickets
- 44:18Speaker 17: are bought by scalpers, or not scalpers, but people who
- 44:21Speaker 17: are then going to on sell them, the artist and
- 44:25Speaker 17: the promoter don't get the reward from that.
- 44:27Speaker 4: So it's so that the artists and the promoters get that.
- 44:31Speaker 4: But I think in the case of this.
- 44:32Speaker 17: John Farnham concept, a lot of his fan base is
- 44:35Speaker 17: going to be people who followed him for decades. They're
- 44:37Speaker 17: older people who are incredibly confused by what was going on.
- 44:40Speaker 17: They didn't even know how much they were going to
- 44:42Speaker 17: be paying, and then when they sat in these virtual
- 44:45Speaker 17: cues for very long times to actually get tickets, when
- 44:49Speaker 17: they got to the end they were being asked for
- 44:50Speaker 17: sixteen hundred bucks.
- 44:51Speaker 4: So they've walked away disappointed.
- 44:54Speaker 3: What they could have logged in selected a seat, which
- 44:57Speaker 3: could have been say, two hundred dollars. Time they've gone
- 45:00Speaker 3: to check out and pay for it, it's now sixteen
- 45:03Speaker 3: hundred dollars exactly.
- 45:04Speaker 17: I worry that this will reflect back badly on John Farnton,
- 45:08Speaker 17: which is unfair. And there is the option for promoters
- 45:12Speaker 17: to not have this dynamic pricing, to just have a
- 45:15Speaker 17: set ticket price.
- 45:16Speaker 4: And I think they should have done that.
- 45:17Speaker 17: And the Victorian government is associated with this concept through
- 45:20Speaker 17: Visit Victoria's support, so they should have insisted that they'd
- 45:24Speaker 17: not be dynamic pricing for this show.
- 45:27Speaker 4: I'm with you. I haven't seen this personally.
- 45:30Speaker 3: I've heard about it, but yeah, I'd be mightily annoyed
- 45:33Speaker 3: because I'm tipping.
- 45:34Speaker 4: It doesn't work the other way.
- 45:35Speaker 3: If you're not having a great deal of demand, your
- 45:37Speaker 3: three hundred dollar ticket doesn't cost one hundred dollars.
- 45:39Speaker 4: Well it does, it does. Yeah, ticket prices will drop.
- 45:43Speaker 17: If it's a show that's not enormously popular, then the
- 45:46Speaker 17: prices will drop in order to shift those you know,
- 45:48Speaker 17: and fill those seats.
- 45:50Speaker 4: I have trust issues.
- 45:51Speaker 3: I'm doubting that actually happens. Meghan Mahuckle is facing backlash
- 45:56Speaker 3: after she gifted a three hundred dollars care package to
- 45:59Speaker 3: a fan who has verbally attacked members of the royal family.
- 46:04Speaker 3: In inside the package, we're a complete range of four
- 46:08Speaker 3: ever good book and that was that called four ever.
- 46:10Speaker 3: It's called as ever, scentered candles, jars of honey, a
- 46:14Speaker 3: leather bookmark and her newest item, a curated book of matches.
- 46:19Speaker 3: Didi Megant also sent a personalized note.
- 46:23Speaker 4: To this particular fan. I mean, can we really blame her?
- 46:26Speaker 4: And what sort of stuff has this fan said to.
- 46:29Speaker 17: The royal family? Hideous things? Oh really called Kate ugly?
- 46:34Speaker 17: Yeah no, that's just one example.
- 46:36Speaker 4: But this is a really.
- 46:38Speaker 17: Nasty online troll who has targeted William and Cage and
- 46:43Speaker 17: the Queen.
- 46:43Speaker 4: How have they come to the attention of Meghan Markles.
- 46:46Speaker 4: She doesn't miss anything.
- 46:47Speaker 17: She's cletally watching all of these You know, this person's
- 46:50Speaker 17: tagging her in the post. How many speeches has this
- 46:53Speaker 17: woman given on online trolling and bullying and here she
- 46:57Speaker 17: is rewarding somebody just because they have happened to be
- 47:00Speaker 17: in her camp. It's so hypocritical of her. But I
- 47:04Speaker 17: guess not surprising.
- 47:06Speaker 3: It's Megan mark All. Yeah, we are not surprised. Now
- 47:09Speaker 3: Toy Story is coming out, the new one. They've had
- 47:12Speaker 3: so many, and this latest one has got a bit
- 47:15Speaker 3: of a twist. Actor Tom Hanks says the film will
- 47:18Speaker 3: highlight children's addiction to screens. The movie sees the toys
- 47:22Speaker 3: threatened by a new Frog like tablet known as lily Pad.
- 47:29Speaker 3: I think this is going to do well with young audiences.
- 47:33Speaker 3: You disagree, No, I disagree because every other I think
- 47:36Speaker 3: of the first Toy Story, the reason we all loved it.
- 47:39Speaker 4: Was because we all think that our toys come to
- 47:42Speaker 4: life at night.
- 47:43Speaker 17: And all of the concepts and all of the protagonists
- 47:47Speaker 17: in this toy story movies thus far have been teddy
- 47:49Speaker 17: bears and the Prospector.
- 47:51Speaker 4: Character and a toy shop owner.
- 47:53Speaker 17: They're all concepts that children can imagine and maybe do
- 47:56Speaker 17: feel threatened by this toy story. The evil is online
- 48:04Speaker 17: digital harms, which is a perfectly worthy thing to be discussing,
- 48:08Speaker 17: but that's aimed at the parents. The kids don't think
- 48:10Speaker 17: of that. The kids just want to play their online games,
- 48:13Speaker 17: so I don't think it's a concept they'll get their
- 48:15Speaker 17: heads around. I think if they haven't already lost the
- 48:18Speaker 17: kids before this, because kids can't pay attention to anything
- 48:20Speaker 17: longer than five minutes online, then they'll lose the kids
- 48:24Speaker 17: forever with this version, unfortunately.
- 48:26Speaker 3: And you could also make the point that they're encouraging
- 48:29Speaker 3: kids to get off one screen to get on another
- 48:31Speaker 3: screen to watch their movie, and at least a iPad
- 48:35Speaker 3: or lily pad, whatever they're calling it is a little
- 48:37Speaker 3: bit more interactive than watching a movie.
- 48:40Speaker 4: Yep, good point.
- 48:41Speaker 3: I'm full of good points to be done, Levy. Thank
- 48:44Speaker 3: you so much for your time to.
- 48:45Speaker 4: Ask for it.
- 48:47Speaker 3: And that's all the time we have. I'll see you
- 48:49Speaker 3: tomorrow night at eleven.
- 48:51Speaker 4: News Night is up next
