- 0:02Speaker 1: On scor Lids Australia. This is the Winner Panalkey Show,
- 0:10Speaker 1: Good evening.
- 0:10Speaker 2: And Welcome to the reader. Panekey Show coming up tonight.
- 0:13Speaker 2: Pauline Hanson's approval rating hits new highs, with the One
- 0:17Speaker 2: Nation leader having a significantly high approval rating than Angus
- 0:22Speaker 2: Taylor and Anthony Albanezi. Nick Kta will cover that. In
- 0:25Speaker 2: today's other top headlines. The Alberizi government unlikely to extend
- 0:30Speaker 2: the reduced fuel excisem Plymer will join me to discuss that.
- 0:34Speaker 2: Josh Hammer will have the latest from the US, including
- 0:37Speaker 2: more details about the man charged with attempting to assassinate
- 0:41Speaker 2: the president, and later in the Houra Kinsey's Schofield weighs
- 0:45Speaker 2: in on Saturday Night, Lives hilarious stig at Megan Markle
- 0:50Speaker 2: and Left is Losing It features this tolerant, warmhearted lefty
- 0:55Speaker 2: wearing a make America Kind Again t shirt. But first
- 1:08Speaker 2: to Victoria and the Allen Government's economic incompetence has been
- 1:12Speaker 2: highlighted again, this time by a new analysis conducted by
- 1:16Speaker 2: their independent think tank, the E sixty one Institute. They
- 1:20Speaker 2: analyzed multiple Victorian budgets and found that for more than
- 1:23Speaker 2: a decade, budget forecasts have missed the mark. The government's
- 1:28Speaker 2: spending is running above what is forecast, and net debt
- 1:32Speaker 2: is tracking towards two hundred billion by the end of
- 1:36Speaker 2: the decade. Joining me now is Menzies Research Center senior
- 1:40Speaker 2: fellow Nick Cata. Nick. The state government also just unveiled
- 1:44Speaker 2: more than two billion dollars in spending measures ahead of
- 1:47Speaker 2: Thursday's budget.
- 1:51Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I think there's going to be more spending
- 1:52Speaker 3: this year, more spending you can't afford because of course
- 1:55Speaker 3: there's an election coming up, and that's always been Labour's
- 1:59Speaker 3: Labour's way of winning elections for bribe people. Look, how
- 2:03Speaker 3: did you end up with this double whammy? Reta, You've
- 2:06Speaker 3: got I think what most people agree is the worst
- 2:08Speaker 3: run state government in the country by far. You know, crime, potholes,
- 2:14Speaker 3: you could go through the whole list of things. They
- 2:16Speaker 3: do it very badly in Victorias, and you're paying the
- 2:19Speaker 3: most for it. I mean, this is extraordinaries and it
- 2:21Speaker 3: shouldn't you, as taxpayers, be asking for your money back.
- 2:25Speaker 3: You know, if you'd bought the Allen And government from Amazon,
- 2:27Speaker 3: you'd be asking for your money back, I think. But look,
- 2:30Speaker 3: you're stuck with them for another few months at least.
- 2:33Speaker 3: And let's just hope that Saturday's by election was an
- 2:37Speaker 3: indication that we're going to get a strong conservative government
- 2:41Speaker 3: determined to fix this mess.
- 2:44Speaker 2: Are that may be just a little bit of wishful
- 2:47Speaker 2: thinking there, Nick bye on your behalf Labor were even
- 2:50Speaker 2: running in Nepean. So yeah, the Liberals did win a
- 2:54Speaker 2: safe liberal seat with no opposition. But let's see what
- 2:58Speaker 2: happens in November. Now to federal politics, that Pauline Hanson
- 3:03Speaker 2: now has a higher approval rating than both Anthony Albanizi
- 3:07Speaker 2: and Angus Taylor. In fact, she's had it higher approval
- 3:10Speaker 2: rating than both of them for some time. But this
- 3:12Speaker 2: is an essential poll widely regarded as a left leaning
- 3:17Speaker 2: pole and even this one has shown the One Nation
- 3:19Speaker 2: leader with a net approval rating of plus eighteen. Pauline
- 3:23Speaker 2: Hanson has a positive rating among all age groups, including
- 3:27Speaker 2: eighteen to thirty four year olds, thirty five to fifty
- 3:30Speaker 2: four year olds, and the fifty five plus. And you
- 3:33Speaker 2: compare that to the competition there, thirty four percent of
- 3:37Speaker 2: responders approved and disapproved of Angus Taylor's job as leader.
- 3:42Speaker 2: He had a net approval rating of zero, while the
- 3:45Speaker 2: Prime Minister Nick had a net approval rating at minus ten.
- 3:51Speaker 2: So this could explain why Federal Labor is not going
- 3:57Speaker 2: to personally attack Pauline Hansen because they know it's often counterproductive.
- 4:02Speaker 2: Her personal popularity exceeds that of the Prime minister.
- 4:08Speaker 3: Yeah, it was very interesting in the social media comments
- 4:12Speaker 3: around this poll, a lot of obviously age readers and
- 4:16Speaker 3: other strange characters from Victoria asking is this a genuine poll?
- 4:21Speaker 3: Could Pauline Hanson really be that popular? And because this
- 4:25Speaker 3: is a mistake they've been making about Pauline Hanson since
- 4:27Speaker 3: nineteen ninety six, you know, they think that she's desperately unpopular,
- 4:32Speaker 3: she's an evil ogre, because that's just not true now
- 4:35Speaker 3: more than ever. And I think that this is why
- 4:39Speaker 3: the Prime Minister is worried about one nation. It's why
- 4:41Speaker 3: he singled out one Nation, although not Paulie Hanson personally
- 4:46Speaker 3: for criticism in the Seat of Pharaoh over various things.
- 4:50Speaker 3: They Labor is desperately concerned about the popularity of one
- 4:55Speaker 3: nation and show they should be on these polls. But
- 4:59Speaker 3: it really does put a lid of the idea that
- 5:03Speaker 3: you know, she's unpopular only twenty four percent of people
- 5:06Speaker 3: were very opposed to Paulian Hanson. Well that's about the
- 5:10Speaker 3: same proportion you'll get, you know, that's about the same
- 5:13Speaker 3: proportion of people who sort of want to go barm
- 5:15Speaker 3: me on Thatt zero for instance. So it just shows
- 5:19Speaker 3: us that the majority of Australians are sound sensible people.
- 5:25Speaker 2: Now, the National Farmers Federation is seeking urgent clarification from
- 5:29Speaker 2: Treasurer Jim Chalmers about the government's expected changes to the
- 5:33Speaker 2: capital Gains Tax concession. Farmers are warning that CGT concessions
- 5:38Speaker 2: must be retained when farms are transferred from one generation
- 5:42Speaker 2: to the next. Nick, what will be the impact if
- 5:45Speaker 2: the nation's eighty thousand family farms are caught up in
- 5:50Speaker 2: Labour's CGT reforms And we call it tax reforms, but
- 5:54Speaker 2: really is just another tax hike.
- 5:57Speaker 3: Yeah, if you're a farmer, you know your farm is
- 5:59Speaker 3: your said, it's what you've been working to build up
- 6:02Speaker 3: over the years. It's the only thing you've got essentially,
- 6:05Speaker 3: And you know the CGT changes which are being muted,
- 6:11Speaker 3: which they hope will apply to rental property particularly of course,
- 6:15Speaker 3: they have a much wider effect than that, And this
- 6:18Speaker 3: is the problem with these messing around with these conditions
- 6:23Speaker 3: that have been in place for years and years and years.
- 6:26Speaker 3: I mean, people have made investment decisions based on these.
- 6:29Speaker 3: They're going to run into the same problem with family trusts. Incidentally,
- 6:32Speaker 3: if they try and change the family trust rules as
- 6:35Speaker 3: regards farmers. Not everybody who has a family trust is
- 6:40Speaker 3: a stinking rich person and trying to avoid their tax obligations.
- 6:44Speaker 3: You know, the people use them for genuine business reasons.
- 6:47Speaker 3: And you know, I just think that the government is
- 6:49Speaker 3: running into a whole world of pain over this one.
- 6:53Speaker 2: They've been down this road before, Nick, and they found
- 6:57Speaker 2: out this has got all sorts of ugly unintended consequences.
- 7:01Speaker 2: They backed off, and now they seem to have just
- 7:04Speaker 2: a selective amnesia. They're going down this same path for
- 7:08Speaker 2: the same reasons, they say, and I think we're going
- 7:11Speaker 2: to see exactly the same results. We're going to see
- 7:13Speaker 2: rent skyrocketing, We're going to see a hit with investors
- 7:18Speaker 2: not entering the property market, so you're going to have
- 7:20Speaker 2: supply issues, and it's not what we need. We need
- 7:24Speaker 2: more housing, we need incentives for people to invest in housing.
- 7:28Speaker 2: Not having those incentives removed now more Victorian News a
- 7:33Speaker 2: popular nightclub and a family home are the latest targets
- 7:37Speaker 2: in a spate of alarming violent attacks, including five bombings
- 7:42Speaker 2: targeting Melbourne's hospitality sector.
- 7:45Speaker 4: Melbourne's hospitality war has exploded with three more attacks overnight.
- 7:50Speaker 4: One of the latest victims is warning it's only a
- 7:53Speaker 4: matter of time before someone is killed, while the home
- 7:56Speaker 4: of another was shot at while his wife and children
- 7:59Speaker 4: slept in.
- 8:00Speaker 5: It's been a dramatic night for police after three separate
- 8:03Speaker 5: attacks on shops and a home. Electric bar in Prown
- 8:07Speaker 5: was rammed by Mercedes, having its front doors smashed, but
- 8:11Speaker 5: those offenders got away. Just an hour earlier, offices allegedly
- 8:15Speaker 5: located a stolen car with two Jerry cans found inside.
- 8:20Speaker 2: Nick I spoke about this on Outsideers yesterday morning. We
- 8:23Speaker 2: literally wake up every morning in this city and look
- 8:28Speaker 2: at watch out for what the latest reports are going
- 8:31Speaker 2: to be. How many venues were hit, Was anybody kidnapped,
- 8:36Speaker 2: was anybody targeted with guns in their home? I mean,
- 8:40Speaker 2: this is just crazy and it seems like the police
- 8:45Speaker 2: are completely confused about what's happening. And we've now got
- 8:48Speaker 2: this term called hospitality terrorism in use in Melbourne.
- 8:55Speaker 3: Yeah, hospitality wars I think that report called it. I
- 8:58Speaker 3: find this bizarre hospital talent? Is this what you call
- 9:01Speaker 3: hospitality in Melbourne?
- 9:04Speaker 2: Every week?
- 9:07Speaker 3: We are our latest RAM raid? Join us for the
- 9:09Speaker 3: RAM raid in the arsenal attack. Is that what happens?
- 9:12Speaker 3: Is that how you have a good night out in Melbourne?
- 9:16Speaker 2: It most certainly is not. And thankfully almost all of
- 9:19Speaker 2: these attacks have happened after hours, so the the hospitality
- 9:25Speaker 2: venues have been the targets, and perhaps the owners more
- 9:28Speaker 2: so than the clientele. But hospitality terrorism, I'm telling you
- 9:32Speaker 2: it's it's a term that's being used in the media.
- 9:36Speaker 2: It's not really a war because we don't have the
- 9:38Speaker 2: hospitality sector at war with each other. We've got this unknown,
- 9:43Speaker 2: shadowy force that is attacking that sector and just sending
- 9:47Speaker 2: shock waves through the industry. But Nick, the fact that
- 9:51Speaker 2: this has been going on for weeks and the police
- 9:55Speaker 2: seem to be nowhere as far as who is behind it,
- 9:59Speaker 2: what are the motive who are the big wigs ordering
- 10:02Speaker 2: these attacks? I mean that just tells you we've got
- 10:04Speaker 2: a law and order breakdown in this city.
- 10:08Speaker 3: Yeah, forgive me for making light of it, because obviously
- 10:10Speaker 3: this is a very serious thing. If you live in Victoria,
- 10:13Speaker 3: or if you own a business that's under threat. Look,
- 10:16Speaker 3: it does go back to the police. Reader. It goes
- 10:19Speaker 3: back to the seeming inability of the Victorian police to
- 10:24Speaker 3: do anything other than chase an unpip paid parking fine.
- 10:28Speaker 3: You know, they they just don't seem to be able
- 10:31Speaker 3: to deal with these crimes. I mean that they're sure.
- 10:35Speaker 3: I mean crime is rife in most states, in every state,
- 10:39Speaker 3: but somehow in Victoria, they it just goes off. And
- 10:43Speaker 3: I think it has to be related to the woke
- 10:47Speaker 3: approach that Victorians show, not just for the police. In fact,
- 10:52Speaker 3: they're probably the least to blame here. It's the courts
- 10:54Speaker 3: more than often that don't take firm action against these people.
- 11:00Speaker 3: It's a simple thing. If you take criminals off the
- 11:02Speaker 3: street by putting them in prison, you have less crime.
- 11:08Speaker 2: Now, ABC Managing director Hugh Mars has admitted the public
- 11:12Speaker 2: broadcaster made a blunder interesting way to describe it, a
- 11:16Speaker 2: blunder when it sold the commercial rights to Bluey to
- 11:20Speaker 2: the BBC. Now Bluey is one of the biggest TV
- 11:23Speaker 2: shows in the world. It had fifty five billion minutes
- 11:26Speaker 2: streamed in the US alone last year. Speaking at last
- 11:29Speaker 2: week's screen producers Australia conference. Mark said there was an
- 11:34Speaker 2: estimated three hundred million dollars of income that has gone
- 11:38Speaker 2: to the UK from Bluey Nick. Compare that ABC commercial
- 11:42Speaker 2: in that same period of time has made just thirty
- 11:45Speaker 2: two million dollars. Are we shocked at the brains trust
- 11:49Speaker 2: at the ABC are not particularly great business.
- 11:53Speaker 3: Well they're not business people, are they. They're used to
- 11:56Speaker 3: just getting government money and spending it willy nilly, that's
- 11:59Speaker 3: what they do. You know, they're just not geared up
- 12:02Speaker 3: for this kind of thing. I'm surprised the BBC incidentally
- 12:05Speaker 3: is managed to make a buck out of this, because
- 12:06Speaker 3: they're not so good at this either. But you know,
- 12:10Speaker 3: I think the real question here, if Bluey is so
- 12:12Speaker 3: popular reader, if people are so keen to screen it
- 12:15Speaker 3: all around the world, why does it need to be
- 12:18Speaker 3: done by public broadcasting? Shouldn't this be a commercial enterprise.
- 12:22Speaker 3: It's the same with pepper Pig, right, I always said
- 12:24Speaker 3: with pepper Pig, you know, the ABC should not have
- 12:27Speaker 3: pepper Pig. This little pig should go to market. It
- 12:31Speaker 3: just seems to me that you if the ABC and
- 12:35Speaker 3: the BBC are funded by taxpayers or in BBC's case
- 12:39Speaker 3: by a license fee to put stuff on that's not
- 12:42Speaker 3: otherwise going to be on air, classical symphony orchestras, things
- 12:46Speaker 3: like that. So they shouldn't be messing around in something
- 12:49Speaker 3: that could be done very well by the private sector
- 12:51Speaker 3: and probably done much better.
- 12:55Speaker 2: Or you can make the argument that the ABC should
- 12:58Speaker 2: be a subscription model, a imercial model other than perhaps
- 13:01Speaker 2: in regional areas. And if you have got programs like
- 13:05Speaker 2: Blue that are reaping in three hundred million dollars for
- 13:09Speaker 2: the BBC, you could fund the ABC with that kind
- 13:13Speaker 2: of money. Why taxpayers picking up the bill? Because this
- 13:17Speaker 2: lot are so incompetent that I don't know the value
- 13:20Speaker 2: of a product like Blue. I mean I don't even
- 13:22Speaker 2: have young children, and I know bluey is just so
- 13:26Speaker 2: wildly popular across the world. Now, before you go, I
- 13:30Speaker 2: want to bring you this extraordinary political ad from the UK.
- 13:35Speaker 2: This is a reform announcing a policy that is sure
- 13:39Speaker 2: to boost their popularity. It's absolutely enraged the left have a.
- 13:43Speaker 6: Look as illegal migrants continue to turn up on our shore.
- 13:47Speaker 6: Zach and his Green Party say they want Britain.
- 13:49Speaker 7: To have no borders at all.
- 13:52Speaker 6: Now it's clear that the failed Uni Party era is
- 13:55Speaker 6: over and there is a battle for the soul of
- 13:58Speaker 6: our country between Reform and the Greens. That's why today
- 14:02Speaker 6: we announce an important new policy. In order to deport
- 14:05Speaker 6: all illegal migrants in Britain, We're going to need to
- 14:08Speaker 6: detain tens of thousands at a time.
- 14:11Speaker 3: Migrants will not be able to leave these detention centers and.
- 14:14Speaker 6: Each will be held there for a couple of weeks.
- 14:16Speaker 3: Before being deported.
- 14:18Speaker 6: So here's our promise. A reform government will not put
- 14:21Speaker 6: any migrant detention centers in any constituency with a reform MP.
- 14:26Speaker 6: We will not put them where Reform controls the council,
- 14:29Speaker 6: and of the remaining areas, we will prioritize Green parliamentary
- 14:33Speaker 6: constituencies and Green controlled councils to put those migrant detention centers.
- 14:39Speaker 6: That means areas like right here in Brighten. But simply,
- 14:45Speaker 6: if you vote in a reform Council or a reform MP,
- 14:48Speaker 6: we guarantee you will not have a migrant detention center
- 14:52Speaker 6: near you. However, if you vote Green, there's a very
- 14:55Speaker 6: good chance that you will. This way, everyone gets what
- 14:59Speaker 6: they vote for. Visit vote Green, Get Illegals dot Com.
- 15:03Speaker 6: Britain is broken Britain needs reform.
- 15:08Speaker 2: That was reform. UK's Home Affairs spokesperson Zia Usef. What
- 15:13Speaker 2: do you think of that, You get what you voted for.
- 15:15Speaker 2: If you want to vote for Greens, if you want
- 15:17Speaker 2: to vote for open borders as well, you're going to
- 15:20Speaker 2: have that problem in your backyard. I absolutely love it.
- 15:25Speaker 3: Rut And of course these Green seats are in Brighton
- 15:28Speaker 3: for instance, they're very posh, very well off people. They
- 15:32Speaker 3: don't normally see. It's like the sanctuary cities in the
- 15:35Speaker 3: United States. They're completely cut off from the reality of
- 15:39Speaker 3: the illegal migration problem is. I think they've done very
- 15:44Speaker 3: well with this. I'd say it's a little bit odd
- 15:46Speaker 3: that you're saying, we want you to vote for us
- 15:48Speaker 3: because we've got this tough policy. But if you vote
- 15:50Speaker 3: for us, we were not going to do this tough
- 15:52Speaker 3: policy anywhere near you. But yeah, it's a strong idea.
- 15:56Speaker 2: Well, I think it makes perfect sense. I think it
- 16:00Speaker 2: makes perfect sense because if you are voting for reform,
- 16:04Speaker 2: you are saying, I believe in our borders, these people
- 16:07Speaker 2: shouldn't even be here to be put in detention centers.
- 16:10Speaker 2: But if you want to have this open border, permissive policy,
- 16:14Speaker 2: then Yeah, you're not going to have them living perhaps
- 16:17Speaker 2: long term in your backyard, but they will be housed
- 16:20Speaker 2: there until they're deported. So I know, I think it
- 16:23Speaker 2: makes perfect sense. Nick. It's very consistent, and it's telling
- 16:27Speaker 2: people we're going to base these policies and the locations
- 16:31Speaker 2: of these detention centers according to the votes of the
- 16:35Speaker 2: local population. I think that's a that's democracy in action.
- 16:41Speaker 3: Yes, it'll be very popular, no doubt about that. You know,
- 16:43Speaker 3: people want these. It's going to be expensive, it's going
- 16:46Speaker 3: to be difficult, but you've just got to buy the bullet.
- 16:49Speaker 3: And I'm sure that once they've introduced this policy and
- 16:52Speaker 3: really stuck by it, then illegal migration will start to
- 16:56Speaker 3: draw up very quickly. And it's just a case of saying,
- 16:59Speaker 3: if you come here, you're going you're going back to
- 17:02Speaker 3: where you came from, or at least to France.
- 17:05Speaker 2: Well we saw that in the US. I mean, they've
- 17:09Speaker 2: got that porous southern border that pretty much as soon
- 17:13Speaker 2: as Donald Trump came into power and it was clear
- 17:15Speaker 2: he was going to implement the policies he campaigned on,
- 17:19Speaker 2: it went from literally millions crossing that border every year
- 17:22Speaker 2: to pretty much nothing. And that was again a policy
- 17:28Speaker 2: that people said was impossible. It was all push factors,
- 17:32Speaker 2: not pull factors. You couldn't stop this flood of people
- 17:35Speaker 2: coming and Nick, it happened in a matter of weeks.
- 17:38Speaker 2: Nick Kata, thank you so much for your time tonight. Now,
- 17:42Speaker 2: Prime Minister Anthony Albanezi has revealed that an extension to
- 17:45Speaker 2: the reduced fuel excise won't be detailed in next week's
- 17:48Speaker 2: federal budget. The fuel excise cut expires in July, and
- 17:52Speaker 2: it has been saving motors between twenty and thirty cents
- 17:55Speaker 2: a liter since the fuel crisis began in February. Speaking
- 17:59Speaker 2: with Nine, the Prime Minister also couldn't say whether the
- 18:02Speaker 2: fuel crisis would actually get better or worse in terms
- 18:06Speaker 2: of petrol.
- 18:06Speaker 1: Are we through the worst of it now or do
- 18:08Speaker 1: you think this has still got the worst to case.
- 18:11Speaker 4: There's real uncertainty there.
- 18:12Speaker 8: I'm just going to worry people that the answer isn't immediately.
- 18:15Speaker 1: Note we're through the hard.
- 18:16Speaker 6: Part because it's a volatile world.
- 18:19Speaker 2: Joining me now is Professor in Primer, executive director at
- 18:23Speaker 2: Hancock Prospecting, as well as a leading geologist and author.
- 18:27Speaker 2: In does what you just heard there from the Prime
- 18:29Speaker 2: minister fill you with confidence and can we afford to
- 18:33Speaker 2: extend the fuel excise cut.
- 18:37Speaker 1: Well, the Prime minister's got his head in the sand.
- 18:41Speaker 1: What he's doing is not going to solve the problem
- 18:44Speaker 1: in the medium to long term. We have to drill
- 18:48Speaker 1: more oil wells. We have to actually have more refineries
- 18:52Speaker 1: to process our own oil into diesel. This is what
- 18:56Speaker 1: we need for this country. We plant, we plow, we seed,
- 19:01Speaker 1: we weed, and we transport food using diesel. We're a
- 19:06Speaker 1: large country. We have to have diesel. We're an island continent.
- 19:10Speaker 1: We have to have our own fuel. We can't rely
- 19:13Speaker 1: on the sea ways, we can't rely in case we
- 19:16Speaker 1: have a hostile neighbor. So all he's doing is postponing
- 19:20Speaker 1: the problem. There's no point in going cap in hand
- 19:24Speaker 1: to some other country and saying, oh, please, sir, please
- 19:27Speaker 1: give us a bit of a diesel. They'll just say,
- 19:30Speaker 1: nick off, you've got all your own resources and you've
- 19:34Speaker 1: done nothing about it. Sort it out yourself. So he's
- 19:38Speaker 1: just postponing a problem which is getting bigger.
- 19:42Speaker 2: Now. The surging oil prices are also having an impact
- 19:46Speaker 2: on the already struggling Australian economy. MLC's seen economist Bob
- 19:51Speaker 2: Kaneen has worn the shutdown of the Straighta for Moose
- 19:54Speaker 2: could drag Australia back to a nineteen seventies stagflationary period.
- 20:00Speaker 2: He said. The global economy currently confronts the prospect of
- 20:03Speaker 2: both rising inflation and unemployment because of this Iran war.
- 20:07Speaker 2: This stagflation mix of both high inflation and unemployment creates
- 20:11Speaker 2: a major policy dilemma for central banks in how do
- 20:16Speaker 2: you see it? Could a conflict in Iran as short
- 20:20Speaker 2: as it is going to be, We're not talking here
- 20:23Speaker 2: about a five year, ten year war, Could it plunge
- 20:26Speaker 2: our country into stagflation?
- 20:30Speaker 1: Well, of course, everything depends upon fossil fuels. You cannot
- 20:34Speaker 1: eat without fossil fuels. You cannot have clothing, much of
- 20:39Speaker 1: which is made from fossil fuels. You can't have plastics
- 20:41Speaker 1: without fossil fuels. You cannot have fertilizers without fossil fuels.
- 20:46Speaker 1: You cannot even feed yourself with a spoon because you
- 20:49Speaker 1: need fossil fuels for mining the iron, the chromium, and
- 20:53Speaker 1: the nickel that we use in spoons. You need fossil
- 20:56Speaker 1: fuels to transport that metal. You need fossil fuels to
- 20:59Speaker 1: trans has brought that spoon from a warehouse into a supermarket.
- 21:03Speaker 1: So the whole of the civilized world is underpinned by
- 21:08Speaker 1: fossil fuels. And if you upset the trade routes slightly,
- 21:13Speaker 1: or you don't provide own your own fossil fuel, then
- 21:16Speaker 1: the costs go up. And it's not the cost of petrol,
- 21:19Speaker 1: it's the cost of everything. So of course we are
- 21:23Speaker 1: going to face more difficult times because we haven't in
- 21:26Speaker 1: the past done the exploration, got enough fuel stored, got
- 21:32Speaker 1: enough facility to actually refine the fuels.
- 21:36Speaker 2: And you've just detailed the importance of fossil fuels, and
- 21:39Speaker 2: yet we still have any gymnast of Chris Bowen insisting
- 21:42Speaker 2: that more fossil fuels is not the answer to this crisis.
- 21:47Speaker 2: And he's saying this even as China is stepping up
- 21:50Speaker 2: its oil and gas exploration. We've got Vietnam commissioning a
- 21:54Speaker 2: new coal fired plant, India is opening new coal mines
- 21:59Speaker 2: in the Filippine, Japan, South Korea. I've also added new
- 22:02Speaker 2: coal capacity since twenty twenty. What are we doing well?
- 22:07Speaker 1: Poor mister Bowen, he's an ideologically damaged soul. He's unable
- 22:12Speaker 1: to see that the world runs on things like col
- 22:16Speaker 1: and gas and petroleum, and we need these to survive
- 22:21Speaker 1: as a society. And Vietnam's realized this, China has realized this.
- 22:26Speaker 1: Every other country has realized it, except Australia. We cannot
- 22:31Speaker 1: live on sea breezes and sunbeams. We can't transport food
- 22:36Speaker 1: at night using solar or wind. We are being led
- 22:41Speaker 1: down the garden path in a terribly dangerous ideological direction
- 22:45Speaker 1: by a minister who is eminently clueless.
- 22:51Speaker 2: Pressing and Plymate's always a pleasure. Thanks for your time.
- 22:55Speaker 1: Thank you.
- 22:58Speaker 2: Still to Karma left plus all the latest from the US,
- 23:02Speaker 2: including more details about the man charged with attempting to
- 23:06Speaker 2: assassinate President Trump, Josh Hammer is up next. You're watching
- 23:21Speaker 2: the Reader Panny Show, and it's time for Lefty's losing ad.
- 23:25Speaker 2: Let's start with a lovely older woman wearing a Macca
- 23:30Speaker 2: T shirt. Make America kind again, and let's just see
- 23:34Speaker 2: what the modern lex version of kindness looks like. Just
- 23:51Speaker 2: feel the love and tolerance, folks, Feel the love. Let's
- 23:54Speaker 2: see if she manages to crack open the pinata with
- 23:58Speaker 2: some help. You know what the back of her shirt says,
- 24:19Speaker 2: do onto others as you would have them do onto you.
- 24:24Speaker 2: That's what it says. There is no reasoning with these people, folks.
- 24:28Speaker 2: These people are full of hate, full of bile, and
- 24:32Speaker 2: suffering from delusions of moral supremacy. And they are failures.
- 24:37Speaker 2: They couldn't even crack open a paper mache. Trump talking
- 24:41Speaker 2: about being full of hate. And while let's see what
- 24:43Speaker 2: Rose O'Donnell is up to, she is living a full,
- 24:47Speaker 2: rich life in Ireland after fleeing Trump's America.
- 24:51Speaker 9: There are sixteen seasons of Master Chef. So very excited
- 24:59Speaker 9: about that. I'm on season one, so like a fifteen
- 25:03Speaker 9: more to go after this, and it's so good when
- 25:06Speaker 9: you don't want to watch the news about fake assassination
- 25:09Speaker 9: attempts or what they're calling an assassination attempt.
- 25:14Speaker 2: Yep, she just claimed the latest assassination attempt against the
- 25:18Speaker 2: president was fake. Just when you think she's hit rock bottom,
- 25:23Speaker 2: she starts digging. Now let's hear from this unhinge Loush
- 25:27Speaker 2: calls himself Charlemagne, the god who justifies the assassination attempts
- 25:33Speaker 2: against President Trump. And this is gross.
- 25:36Speaker 10: The Trump administration has cased so much pain people's every
- 25:38Speaker 10: day lives that some folks are fed up and willing
- 25:41Speaker 10: to risk it off. Simple as that. And if you're
- 25:44Speaker 10: going to talk about anybody toning down violent political rhetoric,
- 25:48Speaker 10: start with the president.
- 25:50Speaker 2: I'm Donald J.
- 25:50Speaker 8: Trump.
- 25:51Speaker 2: Now let's hear from Pete buttajege Democrat with hopes of
- 25:55Speaker 2: being president one day. And he had this profound point
- 25:58Speaker 2: to make.
- 26:00Speaker 11: That would make a huge difference, is if we selected
- 26:04Speaker 11: our president by letting the person who got the most
- 26:06Speaker 11: votes actually take the office instead of the national Electoral College.
- 26:14Speaker 2: Look. I don't know where Peete or that dem audience
- 26:16Speaker 2: has been recently, but Donald Trump won the popular vote.
- 26:21Speaker 2: The result would be exactly the same as the electoral college.
- 26:25Speaker 2: Now let's head to the Miami Grand Prix, and here
- 26:28Speaker 2: from late night TV host Jimmy Fallon. He's not as
- 26:31Speaker 2: unhinged or as unhappy as Jimmy Kimmel, but he's still
- 26:34Speaker 2: a little bit strange. What do you need? Can I
- 26:37Speaker 2: get anything for you?
- 26:38Speaker 10: Or I need some funny lines?
- 26:40Speaker 8: I need I need everything, a cup of British teeth?
- 26:42Speaker 4: What do you want to?
- 26:46Speaker 1: What do we do here?
- 26:47Speaker 8: You can keep that?
- 26:49Speaker 1: This is the highlight right?
- 26:50Speaker 10: Here's worse, isn't it?
- 26:54Speaker 8: I do not take my mite, so I could get bye.
- 26:56Speaker 2: Bye bye, Martin Brundle could wait to get away from him. Now,
- 27:00Speaker 2: let's hear from transactivists and actor Laverne Cox claiming that
- 27:05Speaker 2: there is a genocide against the trans community and we
- 27:09Speaker 2: can't allow women sport just to be for women. What
- 27:12Speaker 2: about the rights of all those mediocre male athletes pretending
- 27:15Speaker 2: to be women. Do you expect them to go back
- 27:17Speaker 2: and compete against men that we're nothing?
- 27:20Speaker 10: There?
- 27:21Speaker 12: At the heart of every genocide is to humanization. That
- 27:25Speaker 12: is the beginning. I think what we've seen over the
- 27:27Speaker 12: past six years with trans people is a really good
- 27:30Speaker 12: example of that. It's clear that it's never been about sports.
- 27:34Speaker 12: It's never been about protecting women or children. To dehumanize
- 27:38Speaker 12: us and put us in an excluded category so that
- 27:40Speaker 12: we can take away so they can take away our rights,
- 27:42Speaker 12: legislatives out of existence.
- 27:44Speaker 2: President Trump has lashed out at Bill Maher, posting a
- 27:48Speaker 2: lengthy assessment of the man, his program, and his ratings
- 27:53Speaker 2: the President Royd Bill Maher is a weak and ineffective
- 27:56Speaker 2: person who I got to know very well during my
- 27:59Speaker 2: dinner with him at the work White House. He was nervous, scared,
- 28:02Speaker 2: and the first words he uttered as he entered the
- 28:04Speaker 2: Oval office were can I have a drink? It was
- 28:07Speaker 2: very endearing, but at the same time absolutely pathetic, and
- 28:12Speaker 2: the President was none too please with how Bill Maher
- 28:15Speaker 2: handled California governor and presidential hopeful Gavin Newsom or new
- 28:20Speaker 2: scum as President Trump calls him. He wrote, Bill Maher
- 28:24Speaker 2: got eaten up by Gavin newscum when news Com said
- 28:28Speaker 2: how well California is doing a complete lie and Bill
- 28:31Speaker 2: Maher never challenged him, not even a little bit. Also,
- 28:35Speaker 2: Bill Maher's ratings suck. Let's have a look at a
- 28:39Speaker 2: little bit of that interview.
- 28:41Speaker 13: I mean the train, Gavin, you got to get rid
- 28:44Speaker 13: of the train.
- 28:44Speaker 10: The train.
- 28:45Speaker 13: I say this as a friend.
- 28:46Speaker 9: You got to let that train go.
- 28:47Speaker 12: Don't let the train go.
- 28:49Speaker 2: It's up to two hundred and thirty one billion diet.
- 28:51Speaker 14: It's just it's not we're doing. We're doing one hundred
- 28:53Speaker 14: and eighteen million dollars segment. We got it back on track.
- 28:56Speaker 14: It goes back three administrations and inherited a mess. We
- 28:59Speaker 14: put it back on. All the environmental workers behind us
- 29:02Speaker 14: were actually lean the track. All the legal litigation, all
- 29:05Speaker 14: the land issues are all behind us. We're actually making
- 29:08Speaker 14: this project work.
- 29:10Speaker 2: This clown was elected governor in twenty eighteen and is
- 29:14Speaker 2: still trying to blame previous administrations. And let's not forget
- 29:19Speaker 2: the dude before him, who was governor for eight years,
- 29:21Speaker 2: was also a Democrat. Bill Maher was too soft on him.
- 29:27Speaker 2: Joining me now is Newsweek's senior editor at large, Josh Hammer. Josh,
- 29:32Speaker 2: that was quite a die tribe from President Trump against
- 29:36Speaker 2: Bill Maher. It was lengthy, it was scathing, but was
- 29:39Speaker 2: it fair.
- 29:42Speaker 15: Look Bill Maher, reader at this point, is better than
- 29:45Speaker 15: like ninety eight percent of people on the left of
- 29:48Speaker 15: Palm with Bill Mahers that he is still on the left.
- 29:51Speaker 15: Bill Maher is someone who is fairly rational when it
- 29:54Speaker 15: comes to certain major cultural and civilizational issues. He's actually
- 29:57Speaker 15: a staunch defender of free speech, which is in art
- 30:00Speaker 15: contrast to the now shockingly high percentage decrats and leftists
- 30:05Speaker 15: here in Nited States who would say that they would
- 30:07Speaker 15: actually use political violence just to shut down your speech.
- 30:10Speaker 15: But Bill Maher will have none of that. Bill Maher
- 30:12Speaker 15: is actually also very outspoken against the threat of radical Islam,
- 30:15Speaker 15: which again places him at loggerheads with large swaths of
- 30:18Speaker 15: his party. See for instance, the rise of radical Islam.
- 30:21Speaker 15: Just in the Michigan Democratic Party, it looks like we're
- 30:23Speaker 15: gonna have a Hezbolla sympathizer potentially as the Michigan Democratic
- 30:27Speaker 15: senecandid AT for instance. So Bill Maher's on the right
- 30:29Speaker 15: side of some of these issues. The problem is that
- 30:32Speaker 15: he suffers from immense, like truly, truly, truly debilitating Trump
- 30:37Speaker 15: Derangement syndrome. I mean, Bill Maher's TDS is probably up
- 30:40Speaker 15: there with Bill Crystals and some of the absolute worst
- 30:43Speaker 15: I've seen out there in the American public sphere. So look,
- 30:47Speaker 15: does Bill Maher deserve this? I don't know, but it's
- 30:49Speaker 15: a little frustrating, frankly for me, as someone who is
- 30:53Speaker 15: trying to make more people see the light, that someone
- 30:57Speaker 15: like Bill Maher, who I know can see enough of
- 30:59Speaker 15: the light to actually come to the right side, he
- 31:02Speaker 15: hasn't done it. He hasn't done yet.
- 31:03Speaker 11: There.
- 31:03Speaker 15: I think that, above all read is probably why Dantrum
- 31:05Speaker 15: is lashing on Nazi has.
- 31:08Speaker 2: Look, I've always said with Bill Maher, yes, he is
- 31:11Speaker 2: a sensible lefty when you compare them, compare him to
- 31:16Speaker 2: the modern left. But so often I think we are
- 31:20Speaker 2: guilty of the bigotry of low expectations. When it comes
- 31:23Speaker 2: to Bill Maher, we praise him endlessly for stating the
- 31:27Speaker 2: bleeding obvious, for saying things that conservatives have been saying
- 31:31Speaker 2: for years, for decades, whether it's on trans issues, whether
- 31:34Speaker 2: it's on free speech, when he comes to a position
- 31:37Speaker 2: that is sensible, and saying that we've all been saying,
- 31:40Speaker 2: we act like here some sort of a genius. Now
- 31:43Speaker 2: we are learning more about Cole Allen, the man charged
- 31:46Speaker 2: with attempting to assassinate President Trump. Here is United States
- 31:50Speaker 2: Attorney for the District of Columbia, Jeanine Piro.
- 31:54Speaker 7: We're trying to get a real digital footprint of this individual,
- 31:58Speaker 7: and what we have learned so far is said everything
- 32:01Speaker 7: that we have garnered up to this point is that
- 32:04Speaker 7: he was calculating, He was determined, He was premeditated in
- 32:09Speaker 7: his intent to commit violence. He did everything necessary in
- 32:13Speaker 7: his mind to kill the President of the United States.
- 32:17Speaker 7: And make no mistake, in spite of his manifesto, and
- 32:21Speaker 7: in spite of the fact that he exempted this agency
- 32:25Speaker 7: civil the Secret Service, and Capitol Police, and cash for
- 32:29Speaker 7: Tell and a few other people, he said, I will
- 32:32Speaker 7: still do what I have to to get to the
- 32:34Speaker 7: president and the high ranking officials.
- 32:38Speaker 2: Josh, this man's history of activism, the manifesto, the online footprint,
- 32:44Speaker 2: They're all crystal clear. And yet we have a disturbingly
- 32:49Speaker 2: large portion of the population that I've convinced themselves this
- 32:53Speaker 2: was some sort of a staged assassination attempt. He was
- 32:57Speaker 2: all planned to boost Donald trump popularity. Rita.
- 33:02Speaker 15: I saw Paul recently that was pulling Democrats as to
- 33:05Speaker 15: the percentage of them who thought that the Butler Pennsylvania
- 33:08Speaker 15: assassination town the one that actually nicked Donald Trump's ear,
- 33:11Speaker 15: that frankly missed killing him by just a mirror matter
- 33:14Speaker 15: of centimeters. I saw a recent poll that showed that
- 33:17Speaker 15: somewhere between forty five and fifty percent of Democrats think
- 33:21Speaker 15: that that was stage. They asked, you think that Butler
- 33:23Speaker 15: Pennsylvania was some sort of was some sort of Reich's
- 33:26Speaker 15: tag fire trying to just aggrandize power. Unto Donald Trum himself,
- 33:31Speaker 15: I mean, how do you reason with these people? This
- 33:34Speaker 15: is a question that I struggle with on a daily basis.
- 33:37Speaker 15: Is we are here in the battle of ideas here
- 33:40Speaker 15: in America. They are in Australian where you are in
- 33:42Speaker 15: the First World War. In generally, we're trying to win
- 33:45Speaker 15: the battle of ideas, But how do you win the
- 33:47Speaker 15: battle of ideas when you're purported interlocutors simply do not
- 33:52Speaker 15: live in reality. Facts are totally impervious, rationality, logic. None
- 33:58Speaker 15: of this, frankly matters there because because they have their
- 34:00Speaker 15: narrative and they will just warp anything to their narrative. Now,
- 34:04Speaker 15: one thing about this individual, and to be clear, Judge
- 34:07Speaker 15: Nan is totally right there. This guy was clearly, clearly,
- 34:10Speaker 15: unambiguously trying to kill Don Trump, trying to kill anyone
- 34:13Speaker 15: that he possibly could in Don Trump's cabinet, sitting there
- 34:16Speaker 15: with him, likely on the dais at the White House
- 34:18Speaker 15: Correspondents dinner. The thing that I am still mulling here
- 34:22Speaker 15: Rita's and it's been over a week since this happened.
- 34:24Speaker 15: This guy's a graduate of cal Tech, the California Institute
- 34:28Speaker 15: of Technology. Now, I know a lot of folks probably
- 34:30Speaker 15: don't pay close attention to the university rankings in America,
- 34:33Speaker 15: but cal Tech every single year is a top ten
- 34:35Speaker 15: to top fifteen ranked university. I say that because he's
- 34:39Speaker 15: not a one off. Because we just saw about a
- 34:41Speaker 15: year and a half ago, the same thing happened with
- 34:43Speaker 15: Luigi Mangoni. He was the actual assassin, not that would
- 34:46Speaker 15: be assassin of Brian Thompson, the United Healthcare CEO. Luigimanngoni
- 34:49Speaker 15: was a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania, which is
- 34:51Speaker 15: literally an Ivy League university. So I look at instances
- 34:55Speaker 15: like this and I see that America's elite institutions RITA
- 35:00Speaker 15: are really not necessarily any longer producing people who are
- 35:04Speaker 15: are true patriots who care about the American constitution and
- 35:08Speaker 15: the American the common good, the common wal They're not
- 35:12Speaker 15: really producing people who are trying to cure cancer or
- 35:14Speaker 15: trying to do this or that. They're no, they're they're
- 35:16Speaker 15: producing political assassins and political would be assassins. And to me,
- 35:21Speaker 15: that's actually one of the understated takeaways from this whole
- 35:25Speaker 15: horrific ordeal, you know, frankly, as if we needed any
- 35:28Speaker 15: more ammunition to try to really take it to the
- 35:32Speaker 15: Ivy League and to American higher education in general, which
- 35:34Speaker 15: has become just a complete, complete, complete bastion of wokeism
- 35:38Speaker 15: as far as the eye can see. But this is
- 35:40Speaker 15: a really, really, really disturbing trend there and again for
- 35:44Speaker 15: Democrats apparently think the Butler Pennsylvania stage so of course
- 35:48Speaker 15: of course they think that the White House corresponding with
- 35:50Speaker 15: staged as well. RITA, how do you possibly reason with
- 35:53Speaker 15: these people?
- 35:53Speaker 2: I have no idea, you can't. That just speaks to
- 36:00Speaker 2: so much about the modern left, because it's not that
- 36:03Speaker 2: they just hold this crazy notion in this area. If
- 36:06Speaker 2: you are willing to believe that Butler was some staged event,
- 36:10Speaker 2: then you will believe anything. You are almost beyond being
- 36:14Speaker 2: reached by logic and reasonable debate. And I can understand
- 36:19Speaker 2: why the America is so polarized, because how can you
- 36:22Speaker 2: possibly reach people who are that gone, who are that demented.
- 36:27Speaker 2: If Donald Trump did not turn his head at that
- 36:31Speaker 2: last millisecond to look at the graphic just put up,
- 36:35Speaker 2: that bullet would have hit his head. I mean that is,
- 36:40Speaker 2: in the end, it still hit his ear. I don't
- 36:42Speaker 2: know how anybody could think this was staged. Oh goodness. Now,
- 36:48Speaker 2: President Trump was asked about the ongoing threats against his life,
- 36:53Speaker 2: and he was asked whether he'd consider wearing a bulletproof vest.
- 36:57Speaker 8: This was his response, Is there talks about you potentially
- 37:01Speaker 8: wearing a bulletproof vest? Moving forward, given you have now
- 37:05Speaker 8: been shot at, I don't know if I can handle
- 37:07Speaker 8: looking twenty pounds.
- 37:08Speaker 2: Everybody has got.
- 37:14Speaker 3: A physical specify.
- 37:16Speaker 2: Even the lefties had to laugh at that. The man
- 37:19Speaker 2: is funny. But on these threats, Willy continue to do
- 37:23Speaker 2: these big outdoor rallies leading up to the midterms.
- 37:28Speaker 15: So I'm actually shocked, reader that Don Trump is not
- 37:31Speaker 15: already wearing a buldervest. To be clear, I've never served
- 37:34Speaker 15: in Secret Service. I've never done personal security in general there.
- 37:37Speaker 15: But I can tell you just in my line of work,
- 37:39Speaker 15: as someone who goes to confer doesn't give speeches, and
- 37:42Speaker 15: that is out there on the conservative side of America's
- 37:45Speaker 15: cultural and political divide, it's pretty common, frankly, to wear
- 37:49Speaker 15: bullproof vests. And people in my line of work are
- 37:52Speaker 15: not the president of the United States. So I am
- 37:55Speaker 15: fairly shocked, actually that he's not already doing this. Not
- 37:58Speaker 15: that my opinion really means anything. It's up to Secret Service,
- 38:00Speaker 15: but I would think that he probably should. For that matter,
- 38:03Speaker 15: I would think that Jdvans probably should. I would think that, frankly,
- 38:05Speaker 15: all of these people who are really high profile, public
- 38:08Speaker 15: facing in the line of succession to the presidency should
- 38:11Speaker 15: probably be wearing something like that. As far as what
- 38:13Speaker 15: kind of rallies he will actually be doing in the
- 38:16Speaker 15: lead up to November, no, I don't think. I don't
- 38:18Speaker 15: think you're going to see any more of these massive
- 38:21Speaker 15: outdoor Butler Pennsylvania style rallies, some large indoor rally shore.
- 38:26Speaker 2: Look.
- 38:26Speaker 15: You know, these indoor rallies you can obviously vet. You
- 38:29Speaker 15: can go in there, and you can case the whole
- 38:31Speaker 15: place there, you can do whatever you want there. But
- 38:33Speaker 15: the outdoor rallies are a totally separate, separate thing. But
- 38:37Speaker 15: even for the indoor again, as we saw with the
- 38:39Speaker 15: White House Corresponds dinner there, the indoor is not itself sufficient.
- 38:43Speaker 15: It seems to me that Secret Service did not have
- 38:45Speaker 15: a proper security perimeter around the Washington Hilton Hotel last weekend.
- 38:49Speaker 15: There there should have been a two block perimeter. I'll
- 38:52Speaker 15: give you an example.
- 38:53Speaker 11: Read.
- 38:53Speaker 15: Actually, so on New Year's Eve on December thirty first,
- 38:56Speaker 15: here in South Florida where I live, BB next Yahoo
- 38:59Speaker 15: was actually in town. We spent New Year's Eve with
- 39:00Speaker 15: Donald Trump and mar A Lago. So he was in
- 39:02Speaker 15: South Florida doing some things, and he didn't event at
- 39:04Speaker 15: a synagogue in South Florida. I went to it. The
- 39:08Speaker 15: security was off the charge, there was a there was
- 39:10Speaker 15: a massive perimeter there. It would have been impossible to
- 39:13Speaker 15: get anywhere near that facility unless you were on a
- 39:15Speaker 15: list vetted checked twice there. Why should any foreign dignitary
- 39:19Speaker 15: have seemingly better security than the president of the United
- 39:22Speaker 15: States there? So, to me, that's just a total baffling
- 39:25Speaker 15: moment there. I think that I frankly think that Secret
- 39:28Speaker 15: Service still has a lot of questions to answer, especially
- 39:31Speaker 15: given the fact that Beler, Pennsylvania was a thing that
- 39:33Speaker 15: happened almost two years ago. But if there's one public
- 39:36Speaker 15: policy takeaway from this whole ordeal, besides the whole thing
- 39:39Speaker 15: about higher education that they were talking about a few
- 39:40Speaker 15: minutes ago, the other thing to me, Rita, is this
- 39:43Speaker 15: the White House ballroom needs to be built, because if
- 39:45Speaker 15: you have the ballroom there, it'll be completely locked down
- 39:48Speaker 15: and there is no chance whatsoever of anything like this
- 39:50Speaker 15: happening again. Build the freaking ballroom.
- 39:52Speaker 2: I so, Josh Hamma, thank you so much for your time.
- 39:56Speaker 11: Thank you, Rita, appreciate it.
- 39:58Speaker 2: Still to come. All the latest WORL and entertainment news,
- 40:01Speaker 2: including Saturday Night Lives hilarious stick at Meghan Markel. Kinseyschofield
- 40:07Speaker 2: is next welcome back, now prepared to be shocked. Saturday
- 40:25Speaker 2: Night Live actually did something that was mildly funny actually
- 40:29Speaker 2: was pretty damn good.
- 40:31Speaker 13: King Charles visited the US to mark the two hundred
- 40:34Speaker 13: and fiftieth anniversary of American independence from Britain and to
- 40:38Speaker 13: seek the release of a British hostage being held by
- 40:41Speaker 13: an American terrorist.
- 40:48Speaker 2: But of course, in true Saturday Night Live fashion, that
- 40:51Speaker 2: had to turn to Trump de arrangement. The Meghan mikel
- 40:55Speaker 2: joke was immediately followed by this.
- 40:58Speaker 13: King Charles also presented President Trump with the original bell
- 41:01Speaker 13: from a British submarine and said, should you ever need
- 41:04Speaker 13: to get a hold of us, just give us a ring,
- 41:07Speaker 13: or Trump could just call the guy saved in his
- 41:10Speaker 13: phone as Andrew Island.
- 41:14Speaker 2: You know, I'd forgive the tedious if they could just
- 41:16Speaker 2: manage to make it a little bit funny. Joining me
- 41:19Speaker 2: now to discuss this and more is host of the
- 41:22Speaker 2: Kinsey Schofield Unfiltered podcast, Kinsey. How will Harry and Meghan
- 41:27Speaker 2: react to that little skitch?
- 41:29Speaker 8: Oh, They're gonna hate it. They're gonna hate it. Honestly,
- 41:32Speaker 8: I think Pricery and Meghan would face a lot less
- 41:35Speaker 8: criticism if they showed even a hint of self awareness.
- 41:39Speaker 8: Audiences are typically more forgiving of public figures who can
- 41:42Speaker 8: laugh at themselves. But when you project this level of
- 41:46Speaker 8: seriousness while contributing relatively little culturally, you know, it creates
- 41:52Speaker 8: some disconnect. That's why jokes like that one they land
- 41:55Speaker 8: until they're willing to be in on the joke instead
- 41:58Speaker 8: of above it with their title. That perception isn't going
- 42:02Speaker 8: to change now.
- 42:04Speaker 2: The Ginger and Windja are going to be absent from
- 42:07Speaker 2: tomorrow's Met Gala event in New York, where the most
- 42:11Speaker 2: famous and influential people gather annually, or at least they
- 42:15Speaker 2: used to. I don't know how relevant it is these days.
- 42:19Speaker 2: I wasn't aware of this, Kinsey, but apparently Megan has
- 42:22Speaker 2: a long running feud with Vogue editor and Met Gala
- 42:25Speaker 2: chair and a Winter, and she's also not on great
- 42:29Speaker 2: terms with Jeff Bezos and Lawrence Sanchez, certainly not in
- 42:32Speaker 2: their friendship circle. Once source told The Daily Mau that
- 42:36Speaker 2: the couple is reeling and quote they have truly lost
- 42:41Speaker 2: the plot. I hear she's spiraling badly because she knows
- 42:45Speaker 2: nothing is working. The whole thing about her as ever,
- 42:48Speaker 2: stuff selling out isn't true anymore. I don't think either
- 42:52Speaker 2: of them are happy, Kinsey. Is it such a big
- 42:56Speaker 2: deal that they're not being invited to events like the
- 42:58Speaker 2: Met Gala?
- 43:01Speaker 8: I mean, I thought it was incredibly odd that the
- 43:04Speaker 8: same year she had multiple seasons of a reality show
- 43:07Speaker 8: on Netflix with Love Meghan, she wasn't invited to the Emmys.
- 43:11Speaker 8: So I do think we're seeing a pattern here of
- 43:14Speaker 8: them being rejected by Hollywood. And with this particular scenario,
- 43:19Speaker 8: you know, it's fashion's biggest night. Meghan should have pursued
- 43:23Speaker 8: this ticket with a vengeance and used this opportunity to
- 43:26Speaker 8: launch her influencer app instead of using the bodies of
- 43:30Speaker 8: Bondai Beach victims. You know, that would make so much
- 43:33Speaker 8: more sense to launch that app at something like the
- 43:36Speaker 8: Met Gala, where the entire world is watching. Why would
- 43:38Speaker 8: Meghan use the Why not use the billionaires? Why use
- 43:42Speaker 8: the sick and vulnerable? Is I think the common sense question.
- 43:47Speaker 2: Absolutely now. Jeff Bezos and Lawrence Sanchez allegedly paid ten
- 43:51Speaker 2: million dollars to be named this year's sponsors for this event,
- 43:56Speaker 2: and Kinsey the gala, which carries the theme costume this year,
- 44:00Speaker 2: has the couple's name on the invites. I don't know
- 44:04Speaker 2: about you, but to me, it's all a bit crass
- 44:07Speaker 2: and desperate these days.
- 44:10Speaker 8: Well, to be fair, I think costume art whenever I
- 44:15Speaker 8: see the before and after pictures of Lauren Sanchez, especially
- 44:19Speaker 8: her Cleavan. But I mean, I actually like Sanchez. She's
- 44:23Speaker 8: unapologetically ruthless. She goes for exactly what she wants and
- 44:28Speaker 8: she usually gets it, and she works hard. There's something
- 44:32Speaker 8: you know. Jeff Bezos was afraid of heights before he
- 44:35Speaker 8: started dating her, and now she is the pilot in
- 44:38Speaker 8: all of their private jets, like, well not all of them,
- 44:40Speaker 8: but she takes him in helicopters all over the world.
- 44:43Speaker 8: So there's something really interesting to me about her, and
- 44:46Speaker 8: I admire the hustle.
- 44:49Speaker 2: I think she was in the movie and Command too,
- 44:53Speaker 2: wasn't she didn't she play a newscaster. It could be
- 44:55Speaker 2: all a lot about it.
- 45:00Speaker 8: Yes, in la she worked at KTLA. That was her
- 45:03Speaker 8: job for a while, so that she would fit raining
- 45:05Speaker 8: on Anchorman.
- 45:07Speaker 2: Yeah, she wasn't quite Veronica, but she was up there
- 45:11Speaker 2: and she was amongst those astronauts with Katy Perry and
- 45:15Speaker 2: Gail King who went up into space for about thirty seconds,
- 45:18Speaker 2: So we can't forget that. Now, Donald Trump has proven
- 45:22Speaker 2: once again why he is the funniest president of our lifetime,
- 45:26Speaker 2: taking a look as he jokes about Milania not liking
- 45:30Speaker 2: his famous dance moves. He loves this story. But she
- 45:34Speaker 2: hates it when I do the thing on weightlifting.
- 45:36Speaker 9: She says it's so unpresidential.
- 45:39Speaker 1: And she hates when I danced too at the end too.
- 45:45Speaker 13: She hates when I dance to what sometimes referred.
- 45:48Speaker 1: To as the gay national anthem.
- 45:50Speaker 2: You know she hates it. He's so funny gay national anthem.
- 45:56Speaker 2: I love that he's elevating that song even higher.
- 46:01Speaker 8: Did you see the clip this week? I think it
- 46:02Speaker 8: was circulating that where a reporter asked him, is it
- 46:05Speaker 8: true you might be wearing a bulletproof vest going forward
- 46:09Speaker 8: after the White Heart?
- 46:11Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 46:11Speaker 8: And he's like, I can't afford another twenty pounds. I mean,
- 46:15Speaker 8: he truly. And also I thought he was so he
- 46:18Speaker 8: was so great because the way his humor at the
- 46:21Speaker 8: beginning of the state visit with King Charles, it's set
- 46:23Speaker 8: the tone. This could have been a very scary, serious
- 46:26Speaker 8: trip between him and King and Charles. But his humor
- 46:30Speaker 8: and the way that he de escalates situations, it's incredibly powerful.
- 46:35Speaker 8: Reader like, I think that that's what we wanted a president.
- 46:39Speaker 2: Absolutely, and that it's been reported that First Lady Milania
- 46:43Speaker 2: quietly coordinated with Queen Camilla's outfits to indicate alignment and
- 46:49Speaker 2: visual diplomacy. That's not a term I've heard before. Style
- 46:53Speaker 2: strategist Lauren Rothman told Business Insider, unlike celebrities on the
- 46:58Speaker 2: red carpet, the question isn't did they look good to me?
- 47:01Speaker 2: The question is that the visual match the responsibility. Rothman
- 47:06Speaker 2: also said, I think the answer is yes, Milania's visual
- 47:10Speaker 2: matched the responsibility. She was elegant yet not outshining. That's
- 47:16Speaker 2: visual diplomacy at work. Can see. That's a very interesting
- 47:20Speaker 2: bit of analysis because I think we just take it
- 47:24Speaker 2: for granted that Milania is going to look amazing, but
- 47:28Speaker 2: she was. She was very demure, and it all seemed
- 47:32Speaker 2: to be in sync with the royal couple.
- 47:35Speaker 8: And I'm going to say something a little controversial here,
- 47:40Speaker 8: but Queen Camilla, previously known as the Rottweiler, It's not
- 47:44Speaker 8: like it's going to take a lot for the First
- 47:47Speaker 8: Lady to steal the show. The fact that she goes
- 47:50Speaker 8: out of her way not to I think says a
- 47:52Speaker 8: lot about her grace, her composure. You know, she's the
- 47:56Speaker 8: same way with President Trump. She doesn't try to take
- 48:00Speaker 8: attention away from him. He's the leader, and he wears
- 48:03Speaker 8: the pants, it seems, unless there's a dance floor, and
- 48:06Speaker 8: then he might be scolded. But what I did think
- 48:09Speaker 8: was interesting was I found out that Royal Aids and
- 48:12Speaker 8: the First Ladies team routinely coordinate their wardrobes to make
- 48:15Speaker 8: sure that they look in sync, which I thought was fun.
- 48:19Speaker 8: I imagine that those are some fun exchanges back and forth.
- 48:23Speaker 2: And we're talking about Anna and Winter before and she
- 48:27Speaker 2: does not put someone like Milania Trump on the cover
- 48:29Speaker 2: of Vogue. I mean that just tells you how completely
- 48:33Speaker 2: out of touch the fashion world is, particularly the publishing
- 48:39Speaker 2: side of it. I mean, how can you not have
- 48:41Speaker 2: a bonafide star icon who looks as good as she
- 48:45Speaker 2: does on the cover When you've put Hillary Clinton there,
- 48:49Speaker 2: and you've pulled Kamala there, and you've put Jill Biden
- 48:52Speaker 2: there multiple times. Can see that's a discussion we will
- 48:56Speaker 2: have another time. Thank you so much for your time tonight,
- 48:59Speaker 2: and that's it from me. Don't go anywhere. Newsnight is
- 49:03Speaker 2: coming up next
