Speaker 1: On scoring wields Australia.
0:05
Speaker 2: This is the Reader Panety Show.
0:08
Speaker 3: Good evening and welcome to the Reader Panny Show. Coming
0:11
Speaker 3: up tonight an Australia Day backflip from a council after
0:15
Speaker 3: a rate payer backlash. Professor Im Plimer will be here
0:19
Speaker 3: to fact check the PM's renewables claims. Josh Hammer will
0:23
Speaker 3: join me with the latest from the US, including some
0:25
Speaker 3: fantastic poll numbers for Donald Trump, and later in the hour,
0:30
Speaker 3: an Emmy Award winning actor and LGBTQ activist tells me
0:34
Speaker 3: how he is now under attack in his own community
0:37
Speaker 3: because he is Jewish and he never neglect left. He's
0:41
Speaker 3: losing it. And tonight it stars Little Doom Goblin, Greha Thumberg.
0:46
Speaker 3: Show me what how listen?
0:51
Speaker 4: Show me what democracy listening.
0:53
Speaker 3: Let's bring in the panel Senior writer for News Corp
0:57
Speaker 3: Patrick Carlin and The Australians Media writer Ellsworth Gang will
1:02
Speaker 3: start with the more deeming defamation case against Victorian Liberal
1:06
Speaker 3: leader John Pursuto. Liberal MPs, we are told now were
1:11
Speaker 3: inundated with messages from the public and according to Liberal
1:15
Speaker 3: MP David Hodgett, around ninety seven percent of the messages
1:20
Speaker 3: he received were supportive of more deeming and critical of
1:24
Speaker 3: John Pursuto Patrick No surprises there could have told the
1:27
Speaker 3: court that this move by Pursuito has not just been
1:31
Speaker 3: enormously damaging, landing him in this court action, but also
1:36
Speaker 3: the lack of political judgment political now is almost offensive.
1:42
Speaker 5: Well, there shouldn't be an issue. I mean, it's essentially
1:45
Speaker 5: a small story that should then put the bed internally
1:47
Speaker 5: at some point, well before now we're having a court
1:50
Speaker 5: case play out, we're having all these coalition politicians sort
1:54
Speaker 5: of coming up and exposing the alleged sort of skulldugery
1:58
Speaker 5: and chicanery of internal politics of this. This should have
2:02
Speaker 5: gone away. I mean, the Allen government is in trouble.
2:06
Speaker 5: It's Victoria's bankrupt at the moment. We've got all these
2:10
Speaker 5: big projects that are putting us under pressure. We've got
2:13
Speaker 5: cost them living. We've got the ideological thing with the
2:16
Speaker 5: Allen government ministers. They should be in trouble. Why is
2:19
Speaker 5: the Liberal Party having to deal with this or why
2:21
Speaker 5: is it chosen to deal with this in such a
2:23
Speaker 5: damaging way.
2:24
Speaker 3: Well, can John Pursuito survive this, Sophie, whatever way this
2:29
Speaker 3: court case goes, I just don't know. How you can
2:31
Speaker 3: remain leader.
2:32
Speaker 6: I think it's going to be hard for him rita
2:34
Speaker 6: whichever way the case ends up. And surely the Liberal
2:39
Speaker 6: Party in Victoria should be focused on fighting the state government,
2:43
Speaker 6: not fighting themselves. As Patrick says, this was a story
2:46
Speaker 6: that could have blown over in forty eight hours if
2:49
Speaker 6: it was handled correctly. It was a story that could
2:51
Speaker 6: have been killed.
2:52
Speaker 3: It should have been a win for the Liberals. Here
2:54
Speaker 3: you have a member of the first term MP, a
2:59
Speaker 3: mum of four, who was physically assaulted that day by
3:03
Speaker 3: these crazy left wing activists, and then she was blamed
3:07
Speaker 3: for these neo Nazis who gate crash their protests by
3:10
Speaker 3: Dad Andrews. Dan Andrews went for her very strongly. John
3:15
Speaker 3: Pursuito could have had a win by sticking up for
3:18
Speaker 3: his MP, sticking up for women's rights, saying she shouldn't
3:21
Speaker 3: be blamed for the actions of these disgusting men who
3:23
Speaker 3: gate crash the event. But no, he decided he was
3:26
Speaker 3: going to be tougher on her than Dan Andrews was.
3:29
Speaker 3: And here we have this deformation action and I'm looking
3:32
Speaker 3: at the names of some of these lawyers. This is
3:34
Speaker 3: going to be very expensive.
3:35
Speaker 6: Sophie it is going to be very expensive reacha I've
3:37
Speaker 6: heard it could be as much as up to four
3:40
Speaker 6: million dollars. This entire thing, and also just the images
3:44
Speaker 6: that are going through the media like Moi Redeem Deeming
3:47
Speaker 6: arriving at court each day, as you said, a mom
3:50
Speaker 6: of four on her own, and there's John Pursuito arriving
3:53
Speaker 6: every day hand in hand with his wife. This is
3:56
Speaker 6: a shocking look for the Victorian Liberal Party and and
4:00
Speaker 6: all their ins and outs, all their private conversations are
4:02
Speaker 6: now being laid out for the public to see.
4:05
Speaker 3: And the former Treasurer made some very interesting comments in quarter.
4:09
Speaker 3: We don't have time to get to those. Let's move
4:12
Speaker 3: on to the Albanezy government so called misinformation disinformation legislation.
4:17
Speaker 3: It's going to be a major issue in the next
4:19
Speaker 3: federal election. Daily telegraphs Tim Blair has had his own
4:23
Speaker 3: take on this issue. Here argued, instead of using these
4:27
Speaker 3: new laws to counter dangerous misinformation and disinformation, the alban
4:30
Speaker 3: Easy government should try a simpler and much less expensive approach.
4:34
Speaker 3: It should sack itself, after all, being among the nation's
4:38
Speaker 3: larger sources of miss and disinfo, Albo and Co shurely
4:42
Speaker 3: must just up and go. Patrick Albert and co. Are
4:46
Speaker 3: guilty of spreading plenty of misinformation. Was only last week
4:51
Speaker 3: that the Prime Minister copped an embarrassing fact check on x.
4:56
Speaker 3: It's not isolated these laws are they had bad news.
5:01
Speaker 3: The legislation in its current form is orwelling in Oh.
5:05
Speaker 5: Absolutely. I mean every government, including the Albanesi government, lies
5:09
Speaker 5: to try and win a point of view. We've seen
5:12
Speaker 5: that with energy prices with the Albanesi government. You look
5:15
Speaker 5: in America, Joe Biden, Carnala Harris have all been caught out.
5:19
Speaker 5: And this is politics. It is a lot of it
5:21
Speaker 5: is misinformation. It's about sort of spreading untruths. If you like,
5:26
Speaker 5: who's the arbiter of what is misinformation? Who's going to
5:29
Speaker 5: say this is the.
5:30
Speaker 3: Lefty bureaucrats that are points will be the arbiters. And
5:33
Speaker 3: that is scary as you say it is, and it's
5:36
Speaker 3: going to impact everyday people us in the media, academia,
5:42
Speaker 3: people and positions of influence aren't included in this sofa,
5:46
Speaker 3: but the average person is. And of course we're going
5:49
Speaker 3: to have cost of leaving immigration being top line issues
5:52
Speaker 3: at the next federal polar But I think free speech
5:54
Speaker 3: is also going to be on the ballot.
5:56
Speaker 6: Absolutely, Rechel and Patrick is dead right with that. Who
5:59
Speaker 6: is the arbiter, Who who is the cop who just
6:01
Speaker 6: the social media cop who says this is okay and
6:04
Speaker 6: this is not okay? And that's where I think why
6:07
Speaker 6: some of this might be set out to do the
6:09
Speaker 6: right thing.
6:10
Speaker 3: It can be incredibly.
6:11
Speaker 6: Dangerous when someone doesn't agree with a view they say, right,
6:15
Speaker 6: that's misinformation or disinformation and just stamp it out.
6:19
Speaker 3: And I think that is concerning. Now let's go to
6:22
Speaker 3: South Australia, the city of Umley. Am I pronouncing that right?
6:25
Speaker 7: So?
6:25
Speaker 3: Well well done? They have decided to keep Australia Day
6:30
Speaker 3: on Australia Day. How quaint. This is a backflip after
6:34
Speaker 3: there was a backlash from rate payers. A community survey
6:37
Speaker 3: show just over sixty percent of rate payers want to
6:39
Speaker 3: celebrate Australia Day on January twenty sixth, not another data
6:44
Speaker 3: as the council was proposing. The only surprise here, Patrick,
6:48
Speaker 3: is that the council actually listened to the rate payers.
6:50
Speaker 3: This is again quaint.
6:52
Speaker 5: That's unheard or isn't it. You hear all these councils
6:55
Speaker 5: talking about this is what our electors want. This is
6:58
Speaker 5: what the council people want. It's not truly you said,
7:02
Speaker 5: look at some of these surveys and say, hang on,
7:04
Speaker 5: that's just not right. That doesn't tell you with everyday opinion.
7:09
Speaker 5: This is great that they had a survey six and
7:11
Speaker 5: ten said this and they said all right, we'll go
7:13
Speaker 5: back to it because six and ten that's what the
7:15
Speaker 5: majority want and from most people Australia is not this
7:19
Speaker 5: divisive thing. It's just, you know, it's a nice day
7:21
Speaker 5: where new citizens get to celebrate that in Australia.
7:24
Speaker 3: And the fact that you've still got in this inner
7:27
Speaker 3: city affluent area six in ten saying keep it on
7:30
Speaker 3: January twenty sixth I think is almost a miracle because
7:33
Speaker 3: we've had Sophie just a barrage of bad stories and
7:40
Speaker 3: ill will in the media suggesting this is a harmful day,
7:45
Speaker 3: that this day to be celebrating it is akin to
7:48
Speaker 3: celebrating genocide and white supremacy. We've had that narrative now
7:52
Speaker 3: for so many years.
7:54
Speaker 6: That's right, Racha, and look only is in a very lovely,
7:58
Speaker 6: prestigious pocket of Adelaide. So there will be people critical
8:02
Speaker 6: that the rape payers had a majority of view there.
8:04
Speaker 6: But I actually think it's good that for once the
8:07
Speaker 6: Council went Okay, this is what they think, let's go
8:10
Speaker 6: back to the drawing board and let's reinstall what we're
8:13
Speaker 6: originally going to do.
8:15
Speaker 3: And I think you're right. Australia Day.
8:18
Speaker 6: We hear a lot of noise from minority groups about this,
8:22
Speaker 6: when I think a lot of Australians are just happy
8:25
Speaker 6: to celebrate this great country.
8:27
Speaker 3: And most of the minority groups were against Australia Day.
8:31
Speaker 3: Let's be clear. Australian born, affluent, inner city types. They're
8:36
Speaker 3: the ones who are, you know, the till seats, the
8:39
Speaker 3: green seats as well. Now the Browlow Metal was on
8:43
Speaker 3: last night. I didn't watch it because I don't like
8:46
Speaker 3: being bored, but but you two were glued to the television.
8:50
Speaker 3: Carlton's Patrick Cripps won the competitions Best in Ferres with
8:54
Speaker 3: a record breaking forty five votes. Nick Dekos from Collingwood
8:58
Speaker 3: was runner up and he also broke the record. But
9:02
Speaker 3: the night wasn't with our controversy, Patrick, the Brownlow voting
9:06
Speaker 3: system is under scrutiny again given the manner in this
9:11
Speaker 3: the way this record was broken, is it still relevant
9:15
Speaker 3: to the brownlow.
9:16
Speaker 5: Oh look, I think it's definitely still relevant, if only
9:18
Speaker 5: for the nice dresses.
9:20
Speaker 3: Nice stress.
9:21
Speaker 5: But look, you do have two very dominant players in
9:25
Speaker 5: Crips and Decos. You've got to feel very sorry for
9:27
Speaker 5: Nick Dacos. They are the kind of player, the style
9:29
Speaker 5: of player who do attract umpires.
9:32
Speaker 3: Vote. It's a midfielders award, isn't it it is?
9:34
Speaker 5: I look at poor old Marcus Bontempelli from the Western Bulldogs.
9:38
Speaker 5: He's one of the best players by mile in the
9:40
Speaker 5: competition and he can't get more than twenty votes.
9:43
Speaker 3: But he won the afl PA Award. But I think
9:46
Speaker 3: so is so did. Did the right man win? Was
9:49
Speaker 3: Nick Dakos robbed We'll reach it.
9:52
Speaker 6: I'm biased here, I'm a Carton girl, and I was.
9:54
Speaker 3: Really thrilled Patrick. I loved his speech.
9:58
Speaker 6: I love that he grew up on a sheep and
10:00
Speaker 6: wheat farm, and I just think he's a great role model.
10:04
Speaker 6: And let's hope he wins a third one.
10:06
Speaker 3: Okay, So I should have known not to ask you,
10:10
Speaker 3: because that was always the response I was going to get. Now,
10:13
Speaker 3: Italian Prime Minister Georgia Maloney has had a massive win
10:17
Speaker 3: on the illegal immigration front, She's recorded a sixty four
10:22
Speaker 3: percent drop in unlawful entries despite heavy criticism from the
10:26
Speaker 3: establishment and from the EU. Patrick remember when we were
10:30
Speaker 3: told she was this far right Zalat, a fascist, dangerous,
10:35
Speaker 3: she would plunge Italy into crisis. Turns out she is
10:39
Speaker 3: actually pretty effective and according to polls, the most or
10:42
Speaker 3: one of the most popular leaders in Europe.
10:45
Speaker 5: Absolutely. And look, you had British Prime Minister Keith Stamer
10:48
Speaker 5: go go and visit her to find out how do
10:51
Speaker 5: you do this. There's a big immigration problem for Europe
10:56
Speaker 5: and Britain, especially those numbers. You look at those numbers,
11:00
Speaker 5: you're talking tens of thousands, You're talking lots of deaths.
11:04
Speaker 5: In need a solution, You need something that works. And
11:06
Speaker 5: this is actually worked in Italy remarkably well. Look in
11:10
Speaker 5: the stats. What are they doing that the world should
11:13
Speaker 5: be copying it?
11:14
Speaker 3: Absolutely, and so on the media angle. I remember when
11:18
Speaker 3: she did win, the coverage was unhinged, hyperbly on steroids.
11:25
Speaker 3: She was called a fascist. I wasn't kidding there. And
11:29
Speaker 3: has there been any sort of retractions and maybe we
11:32
Speaker 3: got it wrong. I haven't seen that in the Australian media.
11:35
Speaker 8: No, not really reached her.
11:37
Speaker 6: I can't say we have seen that, but actions speak
11:40
Speaker 6: louder than words, and she seems to be doing good
11:43
Speaker 6: job and point in cases exactly what you've just discussed
11:46
Speaker 6: with those immigration numbers. So I think her critics need
11:50
Speaker 6: to perhaps sit back and see that the work that
11:53
Speaker 6: she is doing is obviously resonating and it is working.
11:56
Speaker 6: And it is Patrick unusual to have an Italian leader
12:00
Speaker 6: stay in power this long. They've got a rather chaotic
12:05
Speaker 6: history of knifing their leaders. But she's there, and she's
12:09
Speaker 6: popular and so far effective. Sophie Patrick, thank you so
12:12
Speaker 6: much for your time this evening. Now, today the Prime
12:15
Speaker 6: Minister was in Western Australia boasting about renewable projects, and
12:19
Speaker 6: you had this question for Opposition leader Peter Dutton.
12:23
Speaker 9: Peter Dutton's nuclear plan, which yesterday he gave a speech
12:26
Speaker 9: on and which had no costings, no detail. Peter Dutton
12:31
Speaker 9: will be here in the West, I understand later this week.
12:34
Speaker 9: I wonder if he visits Collie to have a look
12:37
Speaker 9: at the site there at Collie where you have a
12:41
Speaker 9: battery being built that will store enough energy to power
12:44
Speaker 9: eight hundred and sixty thousand homes.
12:48
Speaker 3: Joining me now is leading geologist and author Prophessy and
12:51
Speaker 3: Plymer Professor Plymer. How reliable is battery storage battery backup?
12:59
Speaker 3: The PM mentioned there that'll supply eight hundred and sixty
13:02
Speaker 3: thousand homes, but do we know for how long?
13:06
Speaker 10: Well, he's criticizing mister Dutton for not costing out nuclear,
13:12
Speaker 10: bearing in mind that there are thirty three countries in
13:15
Speaker 10: the world that have nuclear There are four hundred and
13:17
Speaker 10: forty reactors around the world, and countries smaller than US
13:21
Speaker 10: countries like Croatia have nineteen reactors.
13:23
Speaker 3: So.
13:25
Speaker 8: It doesn't start from a good foundation. He tells us
13:29
Speaker 8: that there's these batteries at Collie, a coal mining town,
13:33
Speaker 8: would provide energy for eight hundred and sixty homes. That
13:36
Speaker 8: is quite correct if every home only has a few
13:40
Speaker 8: minutes of energy, So eight hundred and sixty thousand homes
13:44
Speaker 8: for a few minutes, that's a very very big battery.
13:47
Speaker 8: So he's just missing out on the critical detail that
13:51
Speaker 8: these batteries are totally absolutely useless, and some jurisdiction in
13:56
Speaker 8: Australia have got rid of these batteries, like South Australia
14:00
Speaker 8: has had diesel backup for the batteries. Tasmania has diesel backup.
14:05
Speaker 8: So hidden behind all of the bluster is reality, and
14:09
Speaker 8: the reality is that Australia has yet to launch itself
14:14
Speaker 8: into the nineteen fifties and become a nuclear nation.
14:20
Speaker 3: Now. The Australian Pipelines and Gas Association and Master Plumbers
14:25
Speaker 3: have joined forces to campaign against the just Into Allen
14:28
Speaker 3: government here in Victoria and their natural gas misinformation. It's
14:33
Speaker 3: a push to ban new gas installations. Your Home, Your
14:39
Speaker 3: Choice campaign is going to be targeting up to fifty
14:43
Speaker 3: thousand voters per week and it aims to educate people
14:47
Speaker 3: in on the truth behind just Into Alan's gas legislation.
14:52
Speaker 3: The Victorian government claims that these proposed changes with gas
14:57
Speaker 3: are for the good of the Victorian people. Spokesperson said,
15:01
Speaker 3: while the gas lobby are focused on lifting their profits,
15:04
Speaker 3: we are focused on your power bill. That's odd because
15:09
Speaker 3: my bills have never been higher and whatever they're doing
15:12
Speaker 3: isn't working well.
15:16
Speaker 8: The gas crisis has been a couple of decades in
15:19
Speaker 8: the making, and it's been a couple of decades of
15:22
Speaker 8: bureaucratic and government absolute total mismanagement in Victoria's now coming
15:27
Speaker 8: to a crisis because the gas from Bass Strait is
15:30
Speaker 8: starting to run out, and they have totally ignored the
15:33
Speaker 8: onshore gas. Onshore from Bass Straight, we have exactly the
15:37
Speaker 8: same rocks. They contain oil, they contain gas. It's been
15:41
Speaker 8: known for a very long period of time. So they've
15:43
Speaker 8: ignored great supplies of gas in Victoria. They are trying
15:49
Speaker 8: to evolve by telling you what method you're going to
15:54
Speaker 8: use for cooking. You talk to any chef. They're not
15:58
Speaker 8: going to cook on electricity. They will cook on gas.
16:01
Speaker 8: And what they're trying to do is to blame the companies,
16:07
Speaker 8: blame someone else for the mess that they've created. Now,
16:10
Speaker 8: this mess was not only created by Labor. The Nationals
16:13
Speaker 8: in Dipsland led the move against onshore exploration, followed by
16:19
Speaker 8: the Libs and then the Labor Party really hit it home.
16:22
Speaker 8: But there's plenty of gas in western Victoria in the
16:26
Speaker 8: Outway basin. There's plenty of gas on shore in the
16:29
Speaker 8: gif Plan basin. There are the same rocks that extend
16:34
Speaker 8: across into South Australia and they have gas in them,
16:37
Speaker 8: and that gas is being used. Just because across the
16:41
Speaker 8: political border doesn't mean the geology changes. So what is
16:45
Speaker 8: being fed to the public is absolutely demonstrably untrue. And
16:51
Speaker 8: this has been happening for a long period of time,
16:53
Speaker 8: so I'm not surprised that ultimately the pipeline organizations want
16:58
Speaker 8: to say, well, folks, that isn't this is the reality.
17:04
Speaker 3: Well, the Victorian government has backtracked a little bit because
17:08
Speaker 3: they've seen this backlash to gas cook tops, so they've
17:13
Speaker 3: said you can keep your gas cooktop, hospitality can keep it.
17:17
Speaker 3: But these new estates there is no gas connection, so
17:21
Speaker 3: you can't have a gas cooktop without a gas connection
17:24
Speaker 3: before you go in the opposition leader's nuclear plan will
17:29
Speaker 3: involve gas and coal for at least twelve years. The
17:34
Speaker 3: left has seized upon this detail as a weakness. They
17:38
Speaker 3: argue most of these coal fired plans are going to
17:41
Speaker 3: be closed by twenty thirty five. Is this a major
17:44
Speaker 3: flaw in the coalition's nuclear plan, this reliance on gas
17:48
Speaker 3: and coal for at least twelve years.
17:51
Speaker 8: Well, this is common sense to have energy security and
17:55
Speaker 8: have energy from hydro, to have energy from gas, to
17:57
Speaker 8: have energy from coal, to have energy from clear and
18:01
Speaker 8: small amounts of energy from wind and solar. So you're
18:06
Speaker 8: not going to put all your eggs into one basket,
18:08
Speaker 8: which the government wants us to do. They want us
18:11
Speaker 8: to have all of our energy coming from sea breezes
18:14
Speaker 8: and sunbeams. Now, we don't get energy twenty four to
18:17
Speaker 8: seven using these methods of generating electricity. You need backup.
18:23
Speaker 8: We've seen before in drought that we had a lack
18:27
Speaker 8: of water for cooling some of the cold fired power stations,
18:30
Speaker 8: so we needed gas. So you need a lot and
18:34
Speaker 8: that gives you energy security. We currently don't have energy security.
18:41
Speaker 3: We don't and we're becoming increasingly reliant on China for renewables,
18:47
Speaker 3: for solar panels and windmills. And yeah, it's not just
18:53
Speaker 3: energy security, it's national security that becomes an issue as well,
18:57
Speaker 3: Professie Climer, thank you so much for your time. Evening
19:00
Speaker 3: still to come, and Lefties losing a plass. Josh Hammer
19:04
Speaker 3: joins me with the latest from the US, including some
19:07
Speaker 3: promising news for Donald Trump. Welcome back. Now it's time
19:15
Speaker 3: for lefties losing it. Remember that angry little doom goblin
19:20
Speaker 3: Gritteth Thunberg, Well, she appears to have lost interest in
19:23
Speaker 3: being a full time climate cultist. Now her main objective
19:27
Speaker 3: is to be a cafe wearing anti Israel troll. Let's
19:31
Speaker 3: listen to her chant stupid stuff written on her phone.
19:34
Speaker 3: Me what the people looks like?
19:39
Speaker 4: Show me what pot, Show me what democracy looks like.
19:48
Speaker 4: Show me what democracy looks like. Show me what the
19:54
Speaker 4: people looks like.
19:58
Speaker 9: Show me what po.
20:00
Speaker 3: That's talking about power for a global warming alarmist. There
20:07
Speaker 3: is a lot of fossil fuels in use right there,
20:09
Speaker 3: from the phone to the megaphone to the diesel generator
20:12
Speaker 3: on the back of that ute. Let's see if Greta
20:15
Speaker 3: can weave in some climate alarmism into her chance.
20:19
Speaker 11: One good, oh my justice, human rights, one.
20:30
Speaker 4: Struggle, one good, climate justice, human.
20:33
Speaker 3: Rights, one struggle, one fired, climate justice, human rights genius.
20:38
Speaker 3: That's that intersectional dementedness that the left have embraced. It's
20:42
Speaker 3: all just an anti West, neo Marxist ideology. The issue
20:47
Speaker 3: is never really the issue. And it's been a while
20:50
Speaker 3: since we heard from transactivist still in Mulvania. I wonder
20:54
Speaker 3: what is up to My pronouns are us a?
21:00
Speaker 12: Pronouns?
21:00
Speaker 8: Are usaid?
21:02
Speaker 3: How about it? Okay, let's move on. Time to check
21:06
Speaker 3: in with the leader of the free world. Here is
21:09
Speaker 3: President Joe Biden struggling at the Quad address this week.
21:13
Speaker 3: There were only three other leaders on stage with him,
21:16
Speaker 3: and he still didn't know who to introduce or what
21:20
Speaker 3: was going to happen next. This is this is a
21:22
Speaker 3: little sad.
21:23
Speaker 13: So I want to thank you all for being here,
21:26
Speaker 13: and now who am I introduce you next?
21:32
Speaker 1: Who's next, distinguished guests, the Prime Minister of the Republic
21:43
Speaker 1: of India.
21:44
Speaker 3: Meanwhile, the woman who replaced him as the Democrat's presidential
21:48
Speaker 3: candidate is seeking another debate with Trump, who she seems
21:52
Speaker 3: to think was once vice president. Well, you have me
21:55
Speaker 3: here and I would like another debate.
21:57
Speaker 7: So I loving a former vice PRESI well at that.
22:01
Speaker 3: But we have a lot more than the scut No,
22:03
Speaker 3: he was never vice president. That's you try to keep up. Now,
22:07
Speaker 3: must admit I have no idea who this next gal is,
22:11
Speaker 3: but apparently she's a pop star for deaf people. Hailey
22:15
Speaker 3: Williams one applause from Left US for launching into an impassioned,
22:19
Speaker 3: impromptu anti Trump brant during the twenty twenty four iHeartRadio
22:24
Speaker 3: Music Festival last week. Have a look at this mad
22:28
Speaker 3: fact Free Die Tribe.
22:31
Speaker 11: Project twenty twenty five is Donald Trump's play for the
22:35
Speaker 11: trolling and punishing.
22:36
Speaker 3: Women, color people, people of color and the LGBTQ plus community.
22:43
Speaker 3: It's time for all Americans.
22:45
Speaker 4: To band together and to finally defeat the Trump agenda.
22:50
Speaker 3: And I want to do that.
22:53
Speaker 11: Him have the pulse do you want of ships show?
23:02
Speaker 3: But it turns out the lies she spewed there about
23:05
Speaker 3: Trump and Project twenty twenty five we're not impromptu at all.
23:10
Speaker 3: She was reading from a script held up by one
23:13
Speaker 3: of her staff. Gosh, you think she could just lie
23:17
Speaker 3: from the hearsh This is disappointing now to a couple
23:20
Speaker 3: of joyful tolerance lefties triggered by the question what is
23:25
Speaker 3: a woman?
23:25
Speaker 2: What is a woman?
23:34
Speaker 3: Can you tell me what a woman is?
23:36
Speaker 2: Because clearly you're really confused, and that's okay, it's okay
23:40
Speaker 2: to be confused. Well, that's yeah, I'm confused. That's why
23:44
Speaker 2: i'm asking. Okay, So if you were to define it,
23:46
Speaker 2: what would it?
23:51
Speaker 3: I'm really sorry for the loss of your brain cells.
23:56
Speaker 2: You can't even define what a woman is, and you're
23:58
Speaker 2: saying I've lost brain cells when he's asking, idiot.
24:05
Speaker 3: And while we are triggering lefties, here is the astute
24:08
Speaker 3: Jason L. Riley dropping some hard facts about the Obama
24:13
Speaker 3: and Trump errors and black prosperity.
24:16
Speaker 7: You have to realize how bad things got, particularly for
24:19
Speaker 7: blacks under the Obama presidency. Economically, unemployment, which never reached
24:24
Speaker 7: double digits for whites under Obama, did not fall below
24:28
Speaker 7: double digits for blacks until the third month of Obama's
24:32
Speaker 7: seventh year in office. Under Trump, black unemployment fell to
24:36
Speaker 7: fifty year lows. Black poverty fell to ats lowest level
24:40
Speaker 7: on record. You saw black wages rising at more than
24:44
Speaker 7: fifteen percent among blacks, but only eleven percent among whites.
24:49
Speaker 7: May not seem like a lot, but that's a thirty
24:51
Speaker 7: six percent difference. That is not just a continuation of
24:55
Speaker 7: something that was happening under Obama, as some people like
24:58
Speaker 7: to dismiss it. It was an acceleration for the lowest
25:02
Speaker 7: income earners in this country. They're wages under the first
25:05
Speaker 7: three years of the Trump administration grew at more than
25:09
Speaker 7: double the rate during Obama's second term. This was an acceleration.
25:14
Speaker 3: I'm going to have plenty more lefties losing it content
25:17
Speaker 3: with my next guest, including more of the real Kamala,
25:21
Speaker 3: you know, the one who has been the borders are,
25:23
Speaker 3: who's overseen record numbers come in illegally through that southern
25:28
Speaker 3: border and also implemented programs to allow millions more to stay.
25:32
Speaker 3: She now wants you to believe she's tough on borders.
25:35
Speaker 3: She even said she believes in a wall now. But
25:38
Speaker 3: here she is in twenty eighteen leading a chant calling
25:42
Speaker 3: for an end to deportations. Enough of that place, Let's
26:07
Speaker 3: cross to Flora and now to speak to Newsweeks Seniors
26:10
Speaker 3: are at large and Senior Council for the Article three project,
26:14
Speaker 3: Josh Hammer, Josha, Let me guess she's changed her position
26:18
Speaker 3: on that too, though she tells us she hasn't changed
26:21
Speaker 3: her values. Is anyone still buying this boloney?
26:26
Speaker 14: Well, what are Kamala Harris's values? I'm not sure that
26:29
Speaker 14: she would be able to identify it if she were
26:31
Speaker 14: asked that point, Blake in an interview, in an interview,
26:34
Speaker 14: by the way, where she happens to not be given
26:36
Speaker 14: me because she is still not given a foalsome sit
26:39
Speaker 14: down interview since she bloodlessly could her purported boss Joe
26:42
Speaker 14: Biden back in July. You know, Trump has been a
26:45
Speaker 14: time struggling to try to land a go to nickname
26:49
Speaker 14: for Kamala Harris. He has his trademark nicknames. There was
26:51
Speaker 14: of course Little Marco and lion Ted Cruz in twenty
26:55
Speaker 14: sixteen and all of that.
26:57
Speaker 8: You know.
26:57
Speaker 14: I mean, some people think that it should be coming
27:00
Speaker 14: law because she's pretty communist leaning, you might say, I mean,
27:03
Speaker 14: I think another alternate possibility might be Camellia law, because.
27:07
Speaker 12: She's a chameleon.
27:08
Speaker 14: I mean, she uses a total chamellion. I mean, something
27:10
Speaker 14: that she says in twenty eighteen or twenty nineteen, twenty twenty,
27:13
Speaker 14: who knows if she's gonna believe it tomorrow, to say
27:16
Speaker 14: nothing about three to four or five years from now,
27:18
Speaker 14: you know. Looking at the electoral college map, I actually
27:20
Speaker 14: was playing around with my map earlier today, kind of
27:22
Speaker 14: doing some different alternative scenarios. It's really gonna come down
27:26
Speaker 14: to Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania, in my opinion, is really the number
27:28
Speaker 14: one battleground to say of this November. Are the voters
27:31
Speaker 14: in Pennsylvania when they are informed that Kamala Harris supported
27:35
Speaker 14: a full ban on fracking oil and natural gas as
27:38
Speaker 14: recently as twenty and twenty, how are they going to
27:40
Speaker 14: react to that? I mean, she could pretend like she
27:42
Speaker 14: didn't mean it. She could pretend like she olds a
27:44
Speaker 14: different position now. But How are you possibly supposed to
27:47
Speaker 14: believe her, especially when she refuses to sit down for
27:50
Speaker 14: an actual interview with any interviewer across the entire spectrum,
27:54
Speaker 14: even a friend the interview.
27:57
Speaker 3: Now you mentioned Pennsylvania, don'tbald. Trump's going to be back there.
28:01
Speaker 3: He's going to the site of the first attempt on
28:04
Speaker 3: his life for a bullet nicked his ear after a
28:07
Speaker 3: last millisecond head turn saved his life. It's just still
28:11
Speaker 3: incredible to think about. He's going to be holding another
28:14
Speaker 3: rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on October five, and Democrat Senator
28:19
Speaker 3: for Pennsylvania John Fetterman has said there's growing enthusiasm for
28:24
Speaker 3: Trump in the Keystone State.
28:26
Speaker 13: And I never agreed with our approach talking about that
28:29
Speaker 13: he's a convicted felon. It's not going to have any
28:32
Speaker 13: impact on that. It's like what's left. He's been impeached
28:35
Speaker 13: twice now, it's been two attempted assassinations, one where a
28:41
Speaker 13: bullet actually actually hit him. There's energy and there's kinds
28:45
Speaker 13: of anger on the ground in Pennsylvania and people are
28:50
Speaker 13: very committed and strunk. Trump is going to be strong.
28:55
Speaker 3: So much is riding on the critical swing state of pencil.
29:00
Speaker 3: And I think it's very clever for Trump to return
29:03
Speaker 3: to the scene of that first assassination attempt because a
29:06
Speaker 3: maidis tried to memory that whole incident.
29:10
Speaker 14: Yes, so, first of all, a brilliant move by Donald Trump,
29:14
Speaker 14: utterly brilliant to return to Butler, Pennsylvania. He actually was
29:17
Speaker 14: in Pennsylvania over the past twenty four hours, well in Indiana, Pennsylvania,
29:21
Speaker 14: a town called Indiana, not to be confused the state,
29:23
Speaker 14: but to go back to the actual scene of when
29:26
Speaker 14: he was literally millimeters I mean sentimiters are most probably
29:30
Speaker 14: millimeters away from having his life just taken away from
29:33
Speaker 14: us on the world stage. To go back there in
29:36
Speaker 14: a triumphant return is a is a brilliant political tactic.
29:41
Speaker 14: I mean, this is the kind of tactic that wins
29:42
Speaker 14: Trump all sorts of new converts, new fans there because
29:46
Speaker 14: they see someone who have the courage to get up
29:48
Speaker 14: there after his brush with death. The angel of death
29:51
Speaker 14: is hovering at that point inches above his head. He
29:54
Speaker 14: gets up there, and he has that iconic photo, that
29:57
Speaker 14: historic world iconic photo with the raised f pump. To
30:00
Speaker 14: go back there, hopefully he imitates that scene. Hopefully he
30:03
Speaker 14: tries his best to recapture that exact scene where he's
30:06
Speaker 14: raising the fist there. It's a brilliant move. But you know,
30:10
Speaker 14: speaking of John Fetterman, give credit where credit is due.
30:12
Speaker 14: John Fetnerman once again is one of the more rational
30:14
Speaker 14: Democrats out there. Not necessarily a particularly high bar of
30:17
Speaker 14: these days, but John Fetterman, who has been very sober
30:20
Speaker 14: actually when it comes to the conflict in the Middle
30:22
Speaker 14: least compared with the rest of his party. He sounds
30:24
Speaker 14: very sober here as well, saying that the whole convicted
30:26
Speaker 14: fellon threat to democracy thing.
30:29
Speaker 3: It's not playing.
30:30
Speaker 14: No one cares. And the reason that the threat to
30:32
Speaker 14: democracy thing, by the way, Rita is not playing is
30:34
Speaker 14: because there is one party in America right now that
30:37
Speaker 14: is literally trying to toss the opponent in jail. It's
30:40
Speaker 14: not the Republican Party. It is the Party of Biden
30:43
Speaker 14: Harris and the Democratic Party. So that you know that
30:45
Speaker 14: dog won't hunt, as they say in the South and whatnot. There,
30:49
Speaker 14: they're gonna have to be Trump on the actual issues.
30:52
Speaker 14: The problem, to get back to what we were just
30:53
Speaker 14: saying a few minutes ago, is that they can't talk
30:55
Speaker 14: about the issues because they have a candidate who doesn't
30:57
Speaker 14: know what she stands for and is changing her purportance
31:00
Speaker 14: stands every single day ending in white.
31:04
Speaker 3: Oh gosh, projection is all the left have these days.
31:09
Speaker 3: Accuse your opponents of what you yourself are guilty of,
31:12
Speaker 3: and that we see that over and over again, and
31:15
Speaker 3: not just in the US. But I wonder if the
31:17
Speaker 3: honeymoon is finally over for Kamala Harris. A new poll
31:21
Speaker 3: from the New York Times Senate College shows a Trump
31:24
Speaker 3: winning in the battleground states of the Sun Belt. He
31:28
Speaker 3: leads Harris in Arizona fifty forty five. In Georgia, the
31:33
Speaker 3: margin is four percent, forty nine to forty five, and
31:36
Speaker 3: in North Carolina, Trump is ahead forty nine to forty seven.
31:40
Speaker 3: And we know, Josh that historically his numbers are understated.
31:46
Speaker 3: There's just a shyness factor when it comes to people
31:49
Speaker 3: telling polsters that they're going to be voting for Donald
31:52
Speaker 3: Trump totally.
31:54
Speaker 14: So you know, in New York Times, Sienna considered one
31:56
Speaker 14: of the very best polsters here in the United States.
31:58
Speaker 14: And this is this is a great hole for Donald Trump.
32:00
Speaker 14: I mean, they have him comfortably ahead out out in
32:03
Speaker 14: Arizona state that he obviously has to win. You know,
32:06
Speaker 14: he's leading in most of the higher quality polls out
32:08
Speaker 14: in Nevada as well. Nevada as a state that has
32:10
Speaker 14: not gone for Republicans at a presidential level in two
32:13
Speaker 14: decades since George W. Bush won it in two thousand
32:16
Speaker 14: and four. He's looking pretty good in Georgia right now.
32:19
Speaker 14: You know, it's gonna come down to those rust belt states, which,
32:22
Speaker 14: by the way, is the reason that I wrote a
32:24
Speaker 14: column all the way back in March saying that he
32:26
Speaker 14: should pick JD. Evans to be his running mate because JD.
32:29
Speaker 14: Vance is quite literally mister Rustbelt. I mean, he's from Ohio.
32:32
Speaker 14: He wrote hill Billy elogy. You know, you know he
32:35
Speaker 14: lived this life. So in this final five six weeks
32:39
Speaker 14: of the campaign, let's get Tim Wallas, who was born Nebraska.
32:42
Speaker 14: He's the governor of Minnesota. He is something of a
32:45
Speaker 14: Midwestern guy himself. Let's get him up there against JD.
32:48
Speaker 8: Vans.
32:48
Speaker 14: They're actually gonna have a vice presidential debate next week,
32:51
Speaker 14: so I can't wait for that. But you know, besides
32:53
Speaker 14: the actual kind of fifty cuss of a mono a
32:55
Speaker 14: mono debate, let's get them both out there having dueling rallies.
32:59
Speaker 14: Let's see which Midwesterner can actually win the hearts and
33:02
Speaker 14: minds of the actual Rust Belt voters, the weight working class,
33:06
Speaker 14: the voter that Trump tapped into in twenty sixteen. I
33:08
Speaker 14: would be willing to bet that it's gd Evans who
33:10
Speaker 14: can tap into them in a way that Tim Waltz cannot.
33:12
Speaker 14: I continue to think that Don Trump's actually a pretty
33:14
Speaker 14: good shape to win this election.
33:17
Speaker 3: Now, there have been at more revelations about that second
33:20
Speaker 3: assassination attempt against Donald Trump, the suspects that note has
33:24
Speaker 3: been released. Ryan Wesley Routh wrote, this was an assassination
33:29
Speaker 3: attempt on Donald Trump, but I am so sorry failed you.
33:33
Speaker 3: I tried my best and gave it all the gumption
33:36
Speaker 3: I could muster. It is up to you now to
33:38
Speaker 3: finish the job, and I will offer one hundred and
33:41
Speaker 3: fifty thousand dollars to whoever can complete the job. Josh, Well,
33:47
Speaker 3: what more can he tell us about this man and
33:49
Speaker 3: the way this case is being handled?
33:53
Speaker 14: Right, So, there are a few things to note here.
33:56
Speaker 14: First of all, you know he was planning this for months,
33:58
Speaker 14: quite quite literally months. Apparently he cased out the golf
34:01
Speaker 14: course for weeks. In events he was stalking Donald Trump
34:04
Speaker 14: from Afar for months on ends, he wrote this chilling letter.
34:08
Speaker 14: You know, he actually self published a book last year
34:10
Speaker 14: in twenty twenty three where he actually called for Iran,
34:13
Speaker 14: for the Iranian regime to assassinate Donald Trump. Now he's
34:16
Speaker 14: offering a one hundred and fifty thousand dollars bounty. I mean,
34:19
Speaker 14: as if he has that cash on hand. I mean,
34:21
Speaker 14: the guy's a total lunatic. It's not he can pay
34:23
Speaker 14: that up anyway there, But I mean talk about something
34:26
Speaker 14: that obviously should never have happened, especially after Butler Pennsylvania.
34:30
Speaker 14: I you know, to this day, we have not gotten
34:33
Speaker 14: answers from the US Secret Service. They actually released an
34:37
Speaker 14: internal review of what happened on Friday. They really did
34:40
Speaker 14: not come to any firm conclusions there either as to
34:42
Speaker 14: what happened in either of these attempted assassinations, were probably
34:45
Speaker 14: gonna have to rely on Congress and the subpoena power.
34:48
Speaker 3: You know.
34:48
Speaker 14: The good news is that because Ryan Routh in this
34:51
Speaker 14: letter actually said that he was going to attempt to assassinate,
34:54
Speaker 14: he used the word assassination. Because of that, the Department
34:57
Speaker 14: of Justice to turn jeral Merrick Garland and the US Attorney.
35:00
Speaker 14: They are likely now to bring an additional charge. He's
35:03
Speaker 14: a raven charged with two federal firearms charges. They're going
35:05
Speaker 14: to attack on an additional charge for attempted assassination with
35:08
Speaker 14: the President of the United States, which I many others
35:10
Speaker 14: are calling for last year. So you have that, you
35:13
Speaker 14: also have Governor DeSantis up in Tallahassee or Capital who's
35:16
Speaker 14: leading a concurrent investigation trying to bring attempted murder charges.
35:19
Speaker 14: DeSantis should not slow down with that. He should continue
35:21
Speaker 14: full speed ahead as well. Look, in my humble opinion,
35:24
Speaker 14: I am a proponent of capital punishment. I hope that
35:27
Speaker 14: I would prefer that this man fry and not see
35:29
Speaker 14: the light of day. But if it has to be
35:31
Speaker 14: life in prison, I guess I will take that.
35:35
Speaker 3: There's so many unanswered questions, though, Josh, about where this
35:39
Speaker 3: man got his money from, because it doesn't seem to
35:41
Speaker 3: have any source of real income. But he did extensive travel,
35:46
Speaker 3: who was paying for that? Why didn't he spend any
35:48
Speaker 3: real time in prison? He faced dozens of serious charges,
35:52
Speaker 3: weapons of mass destruction charge, you had a police standoff
35:56
Speaker 3: for hours. There seems to be a lot of unanswered
36:00
Speaker 3: questions with this as there is with Butler. But I
36:04
Speaker 3: want to move on to today the Argentinian Trump, as
36:08
Speaker 3: he has been called Harvia Milay. Being in New York
36:11
Speaker 3: he met with Elon Musk, who was wearing a black
36:14
Speaker 3: Maga cap. Tell me about the impact Mila has had
36:18
Speaker 3: on Argentina in a relatively short period of times. Is
36:22
Speaker 3: a country that went from one of the riches in
36:25
Speaker 3: this region in South America to one of the poorest
36:28
Speaker 3: thanks to socialism, perrhism. What impact has Milay's small government
36:34
Speaker 3: approach had so far.
36:37
Speaker 14: Well, in a very short time period, he has already
36:41
Speaker 14: taken drastic measures to turn around the Argentinian economy. I mean,
36:45
Speaker 14: inflation has come down to a relatively normal level, wages
36:50
Speaker 14: have been increasing in real inflation, just the terms GDP
36:52
Speaker 14: per capita is already on the rise, certainly relative to
36:55
Speaker 14: what it was under his predecessor. As you said, Rider,
36:58
Speaker 14: Argentina was one of the wealthiest countries in Latin America.
37:03
Speaker 14: In fact, I think by some measures it was actually
37:05
Speaker 14: by it was actually clearly number one for a period
37:07
Speaker 14: of time there and it became just an absolutely indebted
37:12
Speaker 14: socialist hellhole. And you know what he's been able to
37:14
Speaker 14: achieve in a very short time ought to be inspiring
37:17
Speaker 14: to those around the world who would seek to come
37:20
Speaker 14: into power in a system of leftism or totalitanism and
37:23
Speaker 14: then be given the opportunity to try to turn around.
37:25
Speaker 14: There's a lot of meat on the bone, is what
37:26
Speaker 14: I'm trying to say, in a lot of left wing
37:29
Speaker 14: governments all throughout the world. The story of Hoavier Malay
37:32
Speaker 14: now quickly he's come in and turned this around very quickly.
37:35
Speaker 14: That should give inspiration to those seeking to challenge and
37:38
Speaker 14: depose a lot of these other left wing socialists, rulers,
37:41
Speaker 14: prime ministers, dictators, whatever their title may or may not be,
37:44
Speaker 14: all throughout the world. And also on the global stage
37:47
Speaker 14: with what he's saying in terms of the pro Trump rhetoric,
37:50
Speaker 14: he's casting good votes at the United Nations. By the way,
37:53
Speaker 14: Argentina has been an actually rare, standout good vote when
37:57
Speaker 14: it comes especially to Middle East issues. You know that
38:01
Speaker 14: was not the case under the previous governments. And Argentina
38:04
Speaker 14: is a fairly large country, it's a good sized population,
38:06
Speaker 14: so this is an important story to keep your eye on.
38:10
Speaker 3: Absolutely, And I remember I think it was just two
38:12
Speaker 3: or three days before that election where Milay was waving
38:16
Speaker 3: an Israeli flag at one of his rallies, so he
38:19
Speaker 3: was unashamedly pro Israel, even when I think he was
38:22
Speaker 3: advised it could be costly for him during the election. Now,
38:26
Speaker 3: before you go, I just want to ask you about
38:28
Speaker 3: a report from Channel twelve News in Israel. They've reported
38:33
Speaker 3: that the UN, together with the US Department of Justice,
38:36
Speaker 3: is arguing that unrighte employees who were involved in October
38:40
Speaker 3: seven should have immunity from legal action. Can you shed
38:45
Speaker 3: any more light on this developing story because it seems unbelievable.
38:51
Speaker 14: Well, it's actually even worse than that Jerusalem Post headline
38:54
Speaker 14: that the viewers just saw is indicating. So the UN
38:57
Speaker 14: is not only seeking immunity for its own employees. Its
39:00
Speaker 14: own employees, you know, which, by the way, by a
39:03
Speaker 14: very large margin, happened to be moonlighting as Hamas Jihattist apparatchicks.
39:08
Speaker 14: You know, they're basically you and employees by day Jihattist
39:10
Speaker 14: by night. But it's actually worse than that, because the
39:13
Speaker 14: Joe Biden do o J I'm gonna repeat this, the
39:17
Speaker 14: Joe Biden do OJ has filed a brief in court
39:21
Speaker 14: agreeing with this argument. The official stance of the United
39:25
Speaker 14: States Department of Justice is that the UNRAN employees who
39:28
Speaker 14: participated in the single largest slaughter of the Jewish people
39:32
Speaker 14: since Hitler and the Nazis were alive, deserve immunity from
39:35
Speaker 14: prosecution because they're international employees. I mean, I don't have
39:38
Speaker 14: words to describe how unspeakably evil this is. And you know, look,
39:43
Speaker 14: if you're looking at what's happening on the world stage
39:46
Speaker 14: in general, come November here in America, you really ought
39:49
Speaker 14: to pull a lever for Donald Trump, given how much
39:51
Speaker 14: the world is on fire over the past few years.
39:53
Speaker 14: But if you needed one final closing argument, it probably
39:56
Speaker 14: should be this. I mean, this is just a morally jarring,
40:00
Speaker 14: absolutely rock bottom level stance that the Joe Biden doj
40:03
Speaker 14: is taking, by the way, taken by Attorney General Merrick Garland,
40:06
Speaker 14: who is the son of if I'm not mistaken, a
40:08
Speaker 14: Polcaster Vibors as well.
40:11
Speaker 3: Josh Hammah, Thank you so much for your time this evening.
40:14
Speaker 14: Thank you reader.
40:15
Speaker 3: Coming up, an award winning actor and LGBTQ activist tells
40:19
Speaker 3: me he is now under attack in his own community
40:22
Speaker 3: because he is Jewish. Welcome back, joining me now. Is Jewish,
40:31
Speaker 3: LGBTQ advocate and Emmy Award winning actor. You've all, David,
40:36
Speaker 3: You've all. This year, you attended a Pride parade in Washington,
40:40
Speaker 3: d C. Where you and the group you were with
40:42
Speaker 3: were physically assaulted, abuse spat on just for being Jewish
40:48
Speaker 3: and supporting Israel. Here's some of what happened.
40:52
Speaker 8: Rushing us.
40:54
Speaker 7: You're rushing us.
40:57
Speaker 11: You can't hear.
41:00
Speaker 12: These. I have been a lifelong LGBTQ activist. I believe
41:10
Speaker 12: in the values.
41:11
Speaker 3: Of protecting LGBTQ people.
41:13
Speaker 12: But they are attacking us in the middle of a
41:16
Speaker 12: Pride march. Am I not supposed to be welcome within
41:19
Speaker 12: my own LGBTQ community because I am Jewish, because I'm Israeli.
41:24
Speaker 12: We are people of all nationalities here, all different types
41:27
Speaker 12: of LGBTQ people, and we're being booed right now.
41:37
Speaker 3: Incredible scenes. This is a movement that's supposed to be
41:41
Speaker 3: inclusive and tolerant. Did you feel welcome?
41:45
Speaker 12: I did not feel welcome, as is obvious from that video.
41:48
Speaker 12: The thing is we also were assaulted in multiple different
41:53
Speaker 12: events during that Pride weekend in Washington, DC, and the
41:56
Speaker 12: same thing happened in New York city. The thing is.
42:00
Speaker 12: I also was warned in advance by the FBI and
42:05
Speaker 12: other organizations in the United States that agitators were planning
42:10
Speaker 12: on disrupting Pride events in more than one hundred cities
42:13
Speaker 12: across the United States. I don't believe that anybody should
42:17
Speaker 12: be allowed to stop our pride, to stop us from
42:20
Speaker 12: presenting ourselves being who we are. That's part of what
42:24
Speaker 12: living in a democracy is about. But I've seen these
42:28
Speaker 12: factions within the LGBTQ movement grow and increase, and I've
42:32
Speaker 12: been waiving that red flag for a long time, and sadly,
42:35
Speaker 12: I've been heavily ignored. And that's why we're seeing what
42:38
Speaker 12: we're seeing right now, with the Lgbtqia Plus movement having
42:43
Speaker 12: gone to some mind twisting extremes.
42:48
Speaker 3: Mind twisting. Indeed, the whole hostility towards Israel and the
42:53
Speaker 3: Jewish people for members of that community is bizarre. It's
42:59
Speaker 3: bordering on suicidely stupid when Israel is the only place
43:04
Speaker 3: in the Middle East where that community enjoys rights, equal rights.
43:08
Speaker 3: I noticed nobody has taken up the New Tolerance Campaigns
43:13
Speaker 3: offer of a million dollars to hold Ay Pride March
43:16
Speaker 3: in Gaza or the West Bank. It will be be
43:20
Speaker 3: unthinkable to have any sort of event celebrating the community
43:26
Speaker 3: in those parts of the world other than in Israel.
43:30
Speaker 12: Look, you're speaking the truth. Israel is the only country
43:33
Speaker 12: in the Middle East that protects lgbtqia plus rights and
43:38
Speaker 12: every other letter you wish to add to this movement.
43:40
Speaker 12: Israel is the only country in the Middle East that
43:44
Speaker 12: provides asylum for people for Arabs who wish to flee
43:48
Speaker 12: their countries and move into Israel so they can still
43:51
Speaker 12: speak Arabic, so they can still be around other Arabs
43:55
Speaker 12: and Arab Israelis in order to be safe. The same
43:58
Speaker 12: thing goes for women's rates. So look, I'm an equal
44:02
Speaker 12: opportunity supporter and an equal opportunity critic. If somebody from
44:07
Speaker 12: my own liberal, progressive LGBTQ movements is doing things that's
44:11
Speaker 12: against the values of these movements, then I'm going to
44:14
Speaker 12: speak out about it. And I've been speaking out about
44:17
Speaker 12: these issues starting in twenty sixteen, when I started to
44:22
Speaker 12: see more and more manipulation entering the LGBTQ space. In
44:28
Speaker 12: twenty sixteen, people used to go to the LGBTQ conferences
44:31
Speaker 12: When I would speak at when I would be speaking
44:34
Speaker 12: one of the keynote speakers at a conference, and they'd
44:36
Speaker 12: hand out free shirts and free mugs and the free buttons,
44:39
Speaker 12: all the things we see. And they'd have people who'd
44:41
Speaker 12: walk there with a kafia and wrap it around somebody's
44:45
Speaker 12: neck and say, oh, here's a kafia. It's a symbol
44:48
Speaker 12: of resistance against any form of oppression. And that's all
44:52
Speaker 12: they did. So all of a sudden, they started to
44:55
Speaker 12: create these little symbols that people would recognize and say, oh,
44:58
Speaker 12: that person is wearing a beautiful scarf, then we must
45:01
Speaker 12: be the same. Is that all that it takes with
45:04
Speaker 12: catchy nursery, rhyme, slogans that rhymes to manipulate these people
45:08
Speaker 12: to believe that Hamas is an organization that an LGBTQ
45:13
Speaker 12: person should support, or Hezbollah or the or Iran. It
45:18
Speaker 12: doesn't make.
45:18
Speaker 3: Sense, does not make sense. And that anti Israeli sentiment
45:25
Speaker 3: we saw the Pride Marcher has extended into Hollywood increasingly,
45:31
Speaker 3: something you've pointed out. You know, Hollywood champions the left's causes,
45:37
Speaker 3: and this appears to be another one now and it's
45:40
Speaker 3: also in the music industry, in entertainment industry, in general.
45:44
Speaker 3: Most recently, rapper Macklemore launched into a tirade against Israel
45:49
Speaker 3: and America at a concert raising money for anwar.
45:53
Speaker 15: Have a listen, Yeah, America, October seventh happens, and I
46:00
Speaker 15: start paying attention, and I start, I started learning. I
46:04
Speaker 15: started listening. I start, I start going back and learning
46:07
Speaker 15: the history this issue that was deemed so complicated. It's
46:11
Speaker 15: a genocide, absolutely, and it has been since nineteen forty eight.
46:14
Speaker 15: Don't get it twisted.
46:16
Speaker 12: Don't get it incredible.
46:17
Speaker 3: To me that he admits to only really being interested
46:22
Speaker 3: in this issue after October seven, but he looked at
46:26
Speaker 3: the slaughter of innocent Israelis in their homes at a
46:29
Speaker 3: music festival and decided they were to blame. It's as I.
46:34
Speaker 12: Said, truly, or it's bewildering, just as you stated, and
46:39
Speaker 12: as he stated himself, including in his other speeches that
46:42
Speaker 12: he's been giving since October seventh, where he actually says
46:47
Speaker 12: the words that he didn't know anything about the situation.
46:50
Speaker 12: He didn't know anything about what's happening in the Middle
46:53
Speaker 12: East until October seventh, and he's only recently learning about it. Wonderful.
46:57
Speaker 12: That is absolutely a person that we should be listening
47:00
Speaker 12: to a rapper who says that he doesn't know anything
47:03
Speaker 12: about the situation, but he knows how he feels. What
47:06
Speaker 12: we're seeing is the progressive left, which is far too
47:09
Speaker 12: focused on this oppressor, oppressed narrative, even though so many
47:13
Speaker 12: of us talk about being non binary. They're focused on
47:16
Speaker 12: binary thinking a light and dark and they've learned false
47:20
Speaker 12: information from non reliable sources, and that the facts are
47:25
Speaker 12: out there from reliable sources. I listen to your show,
47:29
Speaker 12: I listen to what you say, and if I don't
47:32
Speaker 12: agree with everything you say, that makes me more excited,
47:35
Speaker 12: because maybe you'll change my mind, maybe I will change
47:39
Speaker 12: somebody else's mind. That's what this should be about. But
47:42
Speaker 12: they are canceling anybody who disagrees with them. They're forcing
47:47
Speaker 12: facts to fit their opinions, as opposed to shaping their
47:51
Speaker 12: opinions based on facts. Here's something that will bother you
47:55
Speaker 12: more than all of the other things that bother you
47:56
Speaker 12: that you speak about. Ninety seven percent of people under
48:00
Speaker 12: the age of forty five receive their news and world
48:03
Speaker 12: information from TikTok and Instagram.
48:08
Speaker 3: Well, this is a problem, and we see what trends there,
48:11
Speaker 3: we see what's promoted particularly on TikTok, and I don't
48:15
Speaker 3: believe it's all organic there. They determine what is allowed
48:18
Speaker 3: to trend and what's suppressed, and it's very dangerous time.
48:23
Speaker 3: But I applaud you and the work you do, very brave. Indeed,
48:26
Speaker 3: you've all David, thank you so much for your time
48:28
Speaker 3: this evening.
48:29
Speaker 12: The feeling is mutual. I applaud you for everything that
48:33
Speaker 12: you're doing. You're a voice of reason and a voice
48:35
Speaker 12: of truth, and I will do everything to help spread
48:39
Speaker 12: that truth so people can learn and do the right thing.
48:42
Speaker 3: That's it from me. I'll see at eleven tomorrow with
48:45
Speaker 3: Kelly J. Keen Up. Next is Newsnight.
