Speaker 3: Good evening and welcome to the Rita Panety Show. Coming
0:11
Speaker 3: up tonight, Anthony Alberizi under intense pressure to follow the
0:16
Speaker 3: UK's lead and increase defense spending after being snubbed again by.
0:20
Speaker 4: The US President.
0:21
Speaker 3: The panel will be with me shortly to cover the.
0:23
Speaker 4: Day's top headlines.
0:25
Speaker 3: A gay Arab activist apologizes for a sex toy scandal
0:30
Speaker 3: at Trinity Grammar. Education expert Colleen Harkin we'll be here
0:34
Speaker 3: to discuss the lgbtqia activism we're seeing in Australian schools.
0:40
Speaker 3: We'll have the latest from the US, including major food
0:43
Speaker 3: manufacturers such as Hines getting on board the Make America
0:47
Speaker 3: Healthy Again campaign and ditching artificial colorings. And later in
0:52
Speaker 3: the hour, speak to a brave woman who was sold
0:56
Speaker 3: into child marriage at just twelve years of age in
1:00
Speaker 3: Africa or the Middle East, but in Washington State and
1:04
Speaker 3: left is losing it as adults passing on their deranged
1:07
Speaker 3: hatreds to their kids. But first, let's have a look
1:17
Speaker 3: at the day's top headlines with Sky News contributor Pru
1:20
Speaker 3: McSween and sky News Digital presenter Gabriella Power Ladies. Let's
1:25
Speaker 3: start with the Prime Minister. He is under extreme pressure
1:29
Speaker 3: to follow the UK's lead in upping defense spending. After
1:33
Speaker 3: the British Prime Minister had a productive meeting with Donald Trump,
1:37
Speaker 3: he secured tariff exemptions and UCAS assurances, while as we
1:43
Speaker 3: well know, the US President snubbed our Prime minister. Pro
1:47
Speaker 3: I'll start with you, what can Anthony Albanezi do to
1:51
Speaker 3: repair the somewhat fractured relationship we have at the moment
1:55
Speaker 3: with our biggest ally.
1:58
Speaker 5: Well, you can't change history, can you, Rita when you
2:01
Speaker 5: think about what he's said about Trump in the past,
2:05
Speaker 5: and then the actions of not just Albanezi but the
2:08
Speaker 5: Foreign Minister which is just so anti Israel and really
2:14
Speaker 5: unsupportive of one of.
2:15
Speaker 4: Our well, our greatest ally.
2:17
Speaker 5: And I think this is part of Trump's deal play,
2:21
Speaker 5: you know, put him on ice, make him second guess.
2:25
Speaker 5: He's relegated to really a third tier ally now and
2:28
Speaker 5: this is very sad for Australia, but he's a his
2:32
Speaker 5: ant basically in trump'size, i'd say, and quite irrelevant. So
2:38
Speaker 5: it'll be interesting to see what Anthony Albanezi can do
2:43
Speaker 5: to redeem himself. He's called in the big guns Greg
2:46
Speaker 5: Norman and Kevin Right. Well, that hasn't worked for him,
2:49
Speaker 5: has it. So I don't know what cards he's got
2:51
Speaker 5: left to play.
2:54
Speaker 3: I don't know why gab who would be calling in
2:57
Speaker 3: Kevin Rud. I mean, I think that's one of the
3:00
Speaker 3: mistakes of this government to keep Kevin right in that position,
3:04
Speaker 3: given his track record some of the absolutely insane commentary
3:08
Speaker 3: he's had about the US President over the years. Greg
3:12
Speaker 3: Norman is one thing. I think Trump likes him, but
3:15
Speaker 3: I don't think he's going to be enough to change
3:18
Speaker 3: his attitude to Anthony ALBERESI gap no.
3:22
Speaker 6: And you just think about how embarrassing it is for
3:24
Speaker 6: Australia that we've got Anthony Alberanzi and then Kevin Rudd
3:27
Speaker 6: as our ambassador to the US when he's previously called
3:30
Speaker 6: Donald Trump a village idiot. And you know, if you
3:33
Speaker 6: look at Anthony Abernese's track record through you alluded to
3:36
Speaker 6: it as well, but he's previously trash Trump saying, you know,
3:40
Speaker 6: he scares.
3:41
Speaker 4: The s out of me.
3:42
Speaker 6: And even throughout the election campaign he was kind of
3:44
Speaker 6: using Donald Trump and the MAGA movement to kind of
3:47
Speaker 6: smean coalition and kind of falsely tying them together. I mean,
3:51
Speaker 6: it really doesn't help Australia's case. And the fact that
3:56
Speaker 6: Donald Trump canceled this meeting and didn't even tell our
3:59
Speaker 6: Prime minister and Anthony ALBERIZI had to find out through
4:02
Speaker 6: Trump's social media post. I mean, how telling is that
4:05
Speaker 6: it is a clear message that we are not a priority.
4:09
Speaker 6: And I absolutely do not blame Donald Trump for this
4:11
Speaker 6: crew As you said, Anthony Albernezi, Australia has been so
4:14
Speaker 6: anti Israel, he's been weak about defense and reluctant to
4:19
Speaker 6: boost defense spending, and now he's going to have to
4:22
Speaker 6: chase Donald Trump potentially to the NATO summit just to
4:26
Speaker 6: try and get this face to face meeting with him,
4:28
Speaker 6: try and repair relations. Not that he's tried very hard
4:31
Speaker 6: to this point to talk about UCAS and to talk
4:34
Speaker 6: about tariffs. But good luck to him. You know, Donald
4:37
Speaker 6: Trump is the most powerful person in the world and
4:40
Speaker 6: he has sent a clear message and it is so
4:42
Speaker 6: embarrassing for Australia.
4:45
Speaker 3: Now, Italian Prime Minister Georgia Maloney has been called giving
4:50
Speaker 3: a massive eye roll during a conversation with French President
4:54
Speaker 3: Emmanuel mccron.
4:56
Speaker 4: Let's have a look.
4:57
Speaker 7: They haven't turned on the microphone and sometimes you can
4:59
Speaker 7: pick something up the side convercessions.
5:01
Speaker 4: But I do love her. She has been a revelation.
5:07
Speaker 3: But Georgia Maloney's disdain for Macron is nothing new. She's
5:12
Speaker 3: given a number of speeches lambasting him. We don't know
5:17
Speaker 3: exactly what prompted that particular eye roll, but she's not
5:21
Speaker 3: a fan of the French president.
5:24
Speaker 5: Well, the french Men normally whisper sweet Nothing's what he's
5:28
Speaker 5: done is whisper nothing, probably in her ear of any
5:31
Speaker 5: relevance to her. You know, the guy is really out
5:34
Speaker 5: of step with so many in the world, in the
5:38
Speaker 5: G seven and G twenty, and Trump clearly doesn't like him.
5:43
Speaker 5: He's so woke, he's pistol whipped by his wife. Clearly
5:47
Speaker 5: no respect for him whatsoever.
5:51
Speaker 3: Now, Gab, I cannot believe some of the media coverage
5:55
Speaker 3: on this particular eye roll. We have some in the
5:59
Speaker 3: mediacluding here in Australia suggesting the eye roll was aimed
6:04
Speaker 3: at Donald Trump, who Maloney is a stauge supporter of,
6:08
Speaker 3: instead of Macron. I mean the teds in the Australian
6:12
Speaker 3: media is out of control.
6:14
Speaker 6: But Rita, are you really surprised? Of course they are
6:17
Speaker 6: pretending she's eye rolling at Donald Trump. Any excuse to
6:21
Speaker 6: blame Donald Trump and to put their teds just out there.
6:24
Speaker 6: You see it everywhere constantly. But no, unfortunately, as you say,
6:29
Speaker 6: George Maloney is a stage supporter of Donald Trump. And
6:31
Speaker 6: you look at how she's running Italy. I mean earlier
6:34
Speaker 6: this year she banned gender neutral symbols from bathrooms in
6:40
Speaker 6: public school. So she's very much aligned and absolutely eye
6:44
Speaker 6: rolling Macron. And you tell you what that vision is brilliant.
6:47
Speaker 6: I love looking at some of the comments on social media.
6:50
Speaker 6: Everyone is supporting her as she's eye rolling mcron. But
6:53
Speaker 6: it wasn't a good day for Emmanuel mccron. He took
6:56
Speaker 6: it upon himself to claim that Trump was leaving the
7:00
Speaker 6: D seven to broke a cease fire deal between Israel
7:03
Speaker 6: and Iran, and Trump quickly put him back in his place,
7:06
Speaker 6: saying that Emmanuel Macron is wrong once again. He always
7:10
Speaker 6: gets it wrong, whether he knows it or not.
7:11
Speaker 4: In your so called him.
7:13
Speaker 6: But publicity is seeking Emmanuel Macron, So wasn't a good
7:17
Speaker 6: day for him?
7:20
Speaker 8: No?
7:20
Speaker 3: No, Well, let's talk about the Israel Iran conflict prisident.
7:23
Speaker 3: Trump has issued a warning to Iran. Here, he wrote
7:28
Speaker 3: on truth Social we know exactly whether so called Supreme
7:33
Speaker 3: Leader is hiding. He is an easy target, but is
7:38
Speaker 3: safe there. We are not going to take him out kill,
7:42
Speaker 3: at least.
7:43
Speaker 4: Not for now, prove.
7:46
Speaker 3: Many of Trump's supporters, it's got to be said, want
7:51
Speaker 3: the US to stay out of this conflict. But Donald
7:54
Speaker 3: Trump has been consistent in wanting an end to Iran's
7:59
Speaker 3: nuclear ambitions. This is not a new position that is taken.
8:03
Speaker 4: No, it isn't.
8:04
Speaker 5: Although a lot of the mega people don't want America
8:07
Speaker 5: to have any more wars and believe that Trump has
8:10
Speaker 5: sort of pledged that. But the point is they have
8:14
Speaker 5: to finish the job. It's a threat not just to
8:17
Speaker 5: Israel but the Western world if Iran has a nuclear bomb.
8:22
Speaker 5: And I think that what's annoying to me a little
8:26
Speaker 5: bit and confusing about Trump, with his stance with Putin
8:30
Speaker 5: and now with this.
8:32
Speaker 4: Gab that would be quite an escalation.
8:36
Speaker 3: I think America is quite happy for Israel to be
8:40
Speaker 3: leading this, and they've given Iran plenty of warnings that
8:45
Speaker 3: if any American targets are heat or even targeted in
8:50
Speaker 3: any way, then America is going to enter this battle
8:53
Speaker 3: in a far more meaningful way.
8:55
Speaker 6: Absolutely, and President Trump has been consistent and upfront about this.
9:00
Speaker 6: And as a matter of fact, is Iran cannot have
9:03
Speaker 6: nuclear weapons. There are reports coming out of the us
9:06
Speaker 6: IS that the United States is considering joining Israel in
9:10
Speaker 6: striking Iran's nuclear sites. And we know that Trump is
9:14
Speaker 6: obviously issuing that warning to Iran, saying he knows exactly
9:19
Speaker 6: where Iran Supreme leader is hiding, and he's warned residents
9:24
Speaker 6: in Tehran to evacuate. So we're seeing those images of
9:26
Speaker 6: just thousands of thousands of people evacuating Tehran now. And
9:30
Speaker 6: it's also interesting Iran has banned government officials now from
9:34
Speaker 6: using mobile phones out of concerns that that is how
9:38
Speaker 6: Israelis have been able to track and target them, and
9:43
Speaker 6: around officials have also told their citizens to remove WhatsApp
9:47
Speaker 6: from their phones. As we know, Israel just has pretty
9:50
Speaker 6: amazing intelligence, but it really appears to be escalating, and
9:54
Speaker 6: it appears that it is really at this critical point.
9:57
Speaker 6: We do know that Trump and Benjamin Etnya, who spoke
9:59
Speaker 6: on the own yesterday, but we don't exactly know what's
10:02
Speaker 6: come out of that call at this stage.
10:04
Speaker 3: Yeah, and we'll have plenty more on that issue after
10:08
Speaker 3: the break in our US segment. But to up some
10:11
Speaker 3: local issues, a heated altercation at an upscale restaurant in
10:16
Speaker 3: Melbourne has gone viral where the chef and owner of
10:19
Speaker 3: Carlton's Caprika Pietro Barba Gello, he kind of lost it
10:25
Speaker 3: here with a group of diners who were complaining about
10:28
Speaker 3: their pasta being too spicy and filming some content.
10:33
Speaker 4: Have a look what you're doing, you get.
10:46
Speaker 9: Prue.
10:47
Speaker 3: I don't know if he's a lefty, but he certainly
10:49
Speaker 3: lost it there. I meaning, you can't be pulling the
10:53
Speaker 3: table cloth and everything on top of it out just
10:56
Speaker 3: because people are complaining about your spicy pasta.
11:00
Speaker 5: Well, we know that a lot of chefs are temperamental,
11:02
Speaker 5: but this is a step too far. Reminds me of
11:05
Speaker 5: the Seinfeld.
11:07
Speaker 4: I have a bit of an I don't know, Gab,
11:09
Speaker 4: this is.
11:11
Speaker 9: Well.
11:11
Speaker 3: I think I think I'm going to be with you
11:13
Speaker 3: on this one. Gap because it is his restaurant. Is
11:16
Speaker 3: not only the head chef, he owns the restaurant, and Gab,
11:20
Speaker 3: I reckon people are going to actually just flock to
11:23
Speaker 3: this restaurant even more, seeing that dinner with a.
11:27
Speaker 6: Show publicity is good publicity.
11:29
Speaker 4: I think it's going viral.
11:30
Speaker 6: Even the United States networks have picked this story up.
11:33
Speaker 6: But I have a bit of sympathy for this restaurant owner.
11:36
Speaker 6: He's in Melbourne, so he probably still has some trauma
11:39
Speaker 6: from living under the Dracronian lockdown laws of course because
11:42
Speaker 6: of for years. So it's really not his fault that
11:46
Speaker 6: he has anger management issues. And who complains about pasta
11:49
Speaker 6: being too spicy? Surely everyone loves spicy pasta, so you know,
11:53
Speaker 6: he's made it a lovely meal, and you've got some brats,
11:56
Speaker 6: whether they're teenagers or young adults, coming in trying to
11:59
Speaker 6: get some viral intent for that tiktoks. You know, I
12:02
Speaker 6: feel a little bit sorry of him. Maybe he took
12:04
Speaker 6: it too far, but I think you're right, reader. I
12:07
Speaker 6: think he's going to find that people will be flocking
12:10
Speaker 6: to his restaurant.
12:11
Speaker 5: What happened to the customers always right, that's clearly gone
12:15
Speaker 5: by the way.
12:15
Speaker 3: So well, yeah, I mean, papasta can be too spicy,
12:19
Speaker 3: you can go crazy with the chili.
12:20
Speaker 4: I'm not saying that particular dish was, but come on.
12:23
Speaker 3: Now before you two go, I've got to get a
12:25
Speaker 3: very quick take ten seconds each on Meghan Markle, who's
12:29
Speaker 3: broken her silence on that infamous twerking video. We all
12:33
Speaker 3: saw her heavily pregnant twerking.
12:36
Speaker 4: She posted it on Instagram and.
12:38
Speaker 3: Got us, I think, a backlash she wasn't expecting.
12:43
Speaker 4: Here's what she has had to say about the video.
12:45
Speaker 10: It's also a really great reminder that with all the
12:48
Speaker 10: noise or whatever people do, they're still a whole leafe,
12:51
Speaker 10: a real authentic fun leaf that's happening behind the scenes.
12:54
Speaker 10: I'm just grateful that now being back on social as well,
12:56
Speaker 10: I have a please break and share it on my
12:58
Speaker 10: own terms.
12:59
Speaker 11: Yeah.
13:00
Speaker 3: I don't know about you, but that was anything but
13:02
Speaker 3: authentic as far as I was concerned.
13:06
Speaker 6: It's just so funny that she's so happy that she
13:08
Speaker 6: can get back on Instagram and post videos like her
13:11
Speaker 6: twerking while she's about to give birth, as opposed to
13:14
Speaker 6: being a working role because now she has the freedom
13:16
Speaker 6: to post as much on social media as she likes.
13:18
Speaker 6: But Rita, she needs to stop saying that she's so authentic.
13:22
Speaker 6: The more she says that, the less people believe.
13:23
Speaker 3: It and pro I don't have long but I thought
13:29
Speaker 3: they fled the UK to protect their privacy.
13:33
Speaker 5: Well, you know, I mean, she hasn't gotten an authentic
13:36
Speaker 5: like life, so I guess this is her one attempt
13:39
Speaker 5: of trying to be authentic. But it's pretty pathetic when
13:42
Speaker 5: you're sharing such an intimate moments that, well, then there's
13:45
Speaker 5: something seriously wrong with you.
13:49
Speaker 3: Gabriella Power, Pru mcsweet vegg, you so much. The Queer
13:53
Speaker 3: Palestinian activist embroiled in an obscene video scandal at Trinity Grammar,
14:00
Speaker 3: declined to answer questions when approached by reporters from the
14:03
Speaker 3: Australian newspaper, I.
14:05
Speaker 4: Have any statement about the incident actuality. Do you feel
14:09
Speaker 4: like you were locked down by the school all by
14:12
Speaker 4: the pricings? Do you think it might have been in
14:14
Speaker 4: a reaction.
14:16
Speaker 3: That's Basom Kerbarge, the founder of activist group Queer Arab Australia.
14:22
Speaker 3: He has issued a statement apologizing for the incident. He said,
14:27
Speaker 3: I would like to extend my deepest, heartfelt apologies to
14:30
Speaker 3: everyone impacted by any of the content found on my
14:33
Speaker 3: personal social media. Joining me now for more on this
14:37
Speaker 3: is a research fellow and director of the Institute of
14:40
Speaker 3: Public Affairs Schools Program, Colleen Hark and Colleen not every
14:44
Speaker 3: day we have headlines about gay Arab activists saying.
14:48
Speaker 4: Sorry for elite school dildo scandal.
14:51
Speaker 3: This is not a headline I was expecting in twenty
14:53
Speaker 3: twenty five, But here we are.
14:55
Speaker 12: No.
14:56
Speaker 13: And unfortunately, it's sort of a part of a pattern
14:59
Speaker 13: of radical ideology that's been presented in schools that parents
15:03
Speaker 13: don't know anything about. They sort of rightly send their
15:06
Speaker 13: children off to school expecting that age appropriate material will
15:09
Speaker 13: be presented to them during the day, and then they
15:11
Speaker 13: find out later, after the damage has already been done,
15:14
Speaker 13: that their children have been exposed to informational content that's
15:17
Speaker 13: extremely inappropriate.
15:19
Speaker 4: Absolutely.
15:20
Speaker 3: Now Trinity Boys' Grammar School has explained that the speaker
15:25
Speaker 3: was recommended by the taxpayer funded Victorian Pride Center. Why
15:33
Speaker 3: is this sort of activism in the schools in the
15:35
Speaker 3: first place. Why do we have these taxpayer funded bodies
15:39
Speaker 3: pushing this sort of agenda to learning institutions.
15:43
Speaker 4: What's this got to do with schooling?
15:46
Speaker 13: Well, and it's also a doubling of deprivation of duty
15:52
Speaker 13: by both organizations. So the Prime Center, as you say,
15:54
Speaker 13: it's a tax funded organization, and it says that it
15:57
Speaker 13: vet's its speakers, which clearly it didn't. It takes two
16:00
Speaker 13: seconds to do a social media check on the speaker
16:03
Speaker 13: and his digital footprint, and the school of outsource their
16:07
Speaker 13: responsibility to the Pride Center. So in both cases it's
16:10
Speaker 13: completely inappropriate and it has no place in the school agenda.
16:15
Speaker 13: This business about.
16:17
Speaker 4: Isolated, is it? Because my son just finished high.
16:22
Speaker 3: School last year and these days were so frequent.
16:26
Speaker 4: It wasn't just one day.
16:28
Speaker 3: You might have one day where they talk about ANZAC
16:30
Speaker 3: Day or Australia Day, but these LGBTQ days, there's multiple.
16:35
Speaker 4: We are right, I mean, but they've got where at Purple.
16:39
Speaker 3: There's this, there's that, there's so trans day visibility.
16:43
Speaker 13: They're using schools as a pipeline for activism and it's
16:47
Speaker 13: completely inappropriate. The speaker also wore a kefia, so you
16:51
Speaker 13: know they sort of say it's politically by partisan or
16:55
Speaker 13: whatever the convience that whatever, Pride sort of said, but
16:58
Speaker 13: you know it's it's device in the school environment. I mean,
17:02
Speaker 13: these sort of scenarios where they're treating schools as places
17:04
Speaker 13: to promote activism and identity politics is unfortunately very common
17:10
Speaker 13: in the school place.
17:11
Speaker 3: I wonder if that activist wearing a kafir talked at
17:15
Speaker 3: all about the treatment of gay men in places like
17:20
Speaker 3: Gaza or other parts of the Middle East where there
17:23
Speaker 3: is actual, real oppression of the LGBT community.
17:27
Speaker 4: And we've got a note here.
17:29
Speaker 3: This is an elite boys school, an elite Anglican school.
17:33
Speaker 3: I mean, does that play no part because there's a
17:35
Speaker 3: lot a lot of parents who send their kids along
17:37
Speaker 3: to Christian schools or Catholic schools expecting them to be
17:41
Speaker 3: protected from this sort of activism, But some of the
17:44
Speaker 3: Anglican schools are the worst offenders.
17:46
Speaker 13: Well, unfortunately it is in all schools. Because this issue
17:49
Speaker 13: of sort of inclusiveness and sustainability is in the national curriculum.
17:53
Speaker 13: You would think that parents and in their children to
17:55
Speaker 13: a school, an Anglican school, have a right to not
17:58
Speaker 13: be exposed to this material. But I would argue that
18:01
Speaker 13: no school, no school children ought to be exposed to this.
18:05
Speaker 13: It is an agenda that's inappropriate in the schools, and
18:08
Speaker 13: schools need to be focused on core academic achievement, not
18:13
Speaker 13: sort of introducing children into all of this ideology that
18:16
Speaker 13: has no place. They're too young. It's inappropriate and it's
18:19
Speaker 13: not the school's job to do this.
18:21
Speaker 3: And they will say this is all in the name
18:23
Speaker 3: of tolerance and inclusion, but really this is political. It's
18:28
Speaker 3: deeply political, and this movement is deeply political.
18:31
Speaker 13: It's also divisive because the parents who are sending their
18:35
Speaker 13: children to this Anglican school clearly have made decisions about
18:39
Speaker 13: their famili's values, and their values are being ignored.
18:43
Speaker 3: Absolutely, Colleen Harken, thank you so much for your time tonight.
18:46
Speaker 4: No problem still to come. Lefties losing it?
18:49
Speaker 3: Plus the latest from the US, including major food manufacturers
18:54
Speaker 3: getting on board the Make America Healthy Again campaign.
18:58
Speaker 4: Tina McQueen has the detail.
19:10
Speaker 3: You're watching the Reader Panny Show, and it's time for
19:12
Speaker 3: left is losing it. Okay, folks, get ready to lose
19:17
Speaker 3: some brain cells. Listen to this chat between Bill Maher
19:20
Speaker 3: and Marxist more on Sean Pen you know the dude
19:23
Speaker 3: who cozes up to socialist dictators, real dictators. Listen here
19:28
Speaker 3: as he accuses Donald Trump of negligent homicide, mass negligent
19:34
Speaker 3: homicide for ending the waste and fraud of US AID.
19:39
Speaker 8: He's already been the end of hundreds of thousands of
19:43
Speaker 8: worlds I'm talking about USAA. Yeah, yeah, that's negligent homicide
19:50
Speaker 8: in any sober world, that's negligent. Her miside.
19:54
Speaker 3: Oh dear, this man is dumber than a box of rocks,
19:58
Speaker 3: slightly less useful. Even lifty Bill Maher had to call
20:02
Speaker 3: him out.
20:03
Speaker 8: Really, you meet with I don't think and Goshavez, but
20:07
Speaker 8: not the president of the United States.
20:09
Speaker 12: Yeah.
20:09
Speaker 8: I saw good results come out of some of those things.
20:13
Speaker 8: In terms of it generalates that I had. I don't
20:15
Speaker 8: think that there's anything that I would I just personally
20:20
Speaker 8: wouldn't trust anything that was said in the room, including
20:24
Speaker 8: the personality. Yeah, but you could have told more truth,
20:27
Speaker 8: or you could have told less truth. I told him
20:29
Speaker 8: a lot of truth. I told everything. I would have
20:31
Speaker 8: enjoyed a little more brevity on that. But I absolutely
20:34
Speaker 8: understand that it's just emotional. You were just triggered. It's possible,
20:39
Speaker 8: it's possible, it's true that. But I reason this particular
20:44
Speaker 8: president triggers me rather often. Exactly, he makes people crazy.
20:48
Speaker 12: He's not making me grazy.
20:51
Speaker 3: Now, a little reminder of the sort of crazy crap
20:55
Speaker 3: that Hollywood has been. Sean Penn has speared about Donald
20:58
Speaker 3: Trump in recent months.
21:00
Speaker 14: And I do think it's a reasonable theory that Donald
21:02
Speaker 14: Trump is not unlike the spouse of someone who leaves him,
21:07
Speaker 14: perhaps for another, who then murders their former partner because
21:11
Speaker 14: if they can't have her, nobody can. And I think
21:15
Speaker 14: Donald Trump and his soleb sysm may have that relationship
21:18
Speaker 14: with the world, and that this destruction is in part
21:23
Speaker 14: a power play and also a literal intention of his
21:26
Speaker 14: final out.
21:29
Speaker 4: You think he'll try to stay on.
21:31
Speaker 14: I think he might try to destroy the world by
21:33
Speaker 14: the before he before he ages.
21:36
Speaker 4: Out of life Waco.
21:38
Speaker 3: And this from the man who cooses up to brutal dictators,
21:43
Speaker 3: real ones like Hugo Chavez. This is what Sean Penn
21:47
Speaker 3: had to say about meeting Hugo Chavez.
21:50
Speaker 14: I who wish him nothing but that great strength he
21:55
Speaker 14: has shown over and over again.
21:57
Speaker 15: It is only possible to be so inspiring as he.
22:01
Speaker 4: Is told Jesus as dumb as a box of rocks.
22:04
Speaker 3: As for Bill Maher, I think conservatives have a bad
22:08
Speaker 3: case of the bigotry of low expectations. When it comes
22:11
Speaker 3: to Mark we praise him wildly for repeating things conservatives
22:16
Speaker 3: have been saying for years, but never forget he was
22:19
Speaker 3: part of the Trump deranged media that did everything in
22:23
Speaker 3: its power to push catastrophos conspiracy theories to try.
22:27
Speaker 4: To get Kamala over the line.
22:29
Speaker 3: But Bill Maher is at least occasionally clever and funny,
22:33
Speaker 3: more than you can say about the dim witted, painfully
22:37
Speaker 3: unfunny Stephen Colbert.
22:39
Speaker 9: Then in August, you're going to be playing Jesus in
22:42
Speaker 9: Jesus Prices.
22:44
Speaker 11: At the Hollywood Boys.
22:45
Speaker 12: I am at the Hollywood Boy.
22:47
Speaker 9: And first woman to play Jesus in a major production,
22:51
Speaker 9: long overdue.
22:52
Speaker 4: I've said for years I'd love to see a woman in.
22:54
Speaker 3: That bart What an odd thing for a practicing Catholic
22:58
Speaker 3: to say.
22:59
Speaker 4: Now, if you want to see what makes anti Trumps are.
23:02
Speaker 3: So worked up, so perpetually outraged.
23:05
Speaker 4: Well don't ask these guys.
23:08
Speaker 16: So yeah, why is that?
23:10
Speaker 8: I don't know, He's just we don't like him.
23:12
Speaker 9: That's the word around here.
23:13
Speaker 8: Any any particular reason why you don't like.
23:15
Speaker 17: Him, No clue at all.
23:16
Speaker 12: I'm just going with everybody else saying it.
23:18
Speaker 18: Would you say any immigration laws an unjust LNG.
23:23
Speaker 1: I'm for open borders, man, No people are illegal anyway,
23:27
Speaker 1: this is all our planet.
23:29
Speaker 3: Let's hear from this leftist lady, a classic awful awfl
23:34
Speaker 3: affluent white female liberals.
23:36
Speaker 4: They're a scourge.
23:38
Speaker 3: Here she explains what has got her and her friends
23:41
Speaker 3: so angry.
23:42
Speaker 17: So I'm in my beautiful city, LA and they have
23:45
Speaker 17: friends texting me like all morning, my gardner didn't show up,
23:50
Speaker 17: my housekeeper.
23:51
Speaker 4: Didn't show up.
23:53
Speaker 17: Oh my farmer's market was closed. Everyone's scared. Well, this
23:56
Speaker 17: is not going to just happen in LA. And you
23:59
Speaker 17: one prisoners that only voted for Trump because of money.
24:04
Speaker 17: Guess what You're gonna have to do your own dishes
24:08
Speaker 17: or clean your own house from all your own lawn.
24:11
Speaker 3: Oh no, they're going to lose their illegal cheap labor.
24:15
Speaker 3: Maybe you can pay real wages to people in.
24:18
Speaker 4: The country legally.
24:20
Speaker 3: Do they really think their love of modern day slave
24:24
Speaker 3: labor is a winning argument? And the one percent overwhelmingly
24:29
Speaker 3: voted for the Democrats, showing again that the left are
24:33
Speaker 3: unhinged with hate and violence. Here are some TEDS sufferers
24:38
Speaker 3: setting up a mini guillotine to behead Trump. And here
24:51
Speaker 3: are parents encouraging their kids to behave like hate filled
24:56
Speaker 3: TEDS sufferers a.
25:01
Speaker 6: Little.
25:08
Speaker 3: Here is a proud mom with a septum ring. The
25:12
Speaker 3: septum rings are like a modern day warning system.
25:15
Speaker 4: You see one and you know you're about.
25:17
Speaker 3: To be assailed with nonsense.
25:20
Speaker 15: My husband and my son, my seven year old son,
25:26
Speaker 15: just walk out the door to go to a note
25:27
Speaker 15: King's protest and I'm staying home because my other son
25:31
Speaker 15: does not feel well. And as they were walking out
25:36
Speaker 15: the door.
25:36
Speaker 12: I said, thank you for being so brief and going
25:40
Speaker 12: and doing this. And my son looked at me and said,
25:45
Speaker 12: will it change things? And I hope so? Body.
25:54
Speaker 3: No, sorry, it won't change anything. It will not change anything.
25:57
Speaker 3: Now here's another jokead and agiech Anti Ice anti America
26:02
Speaker 3: really rally. He's asked a simple question about why didn't
26:06
Speaker 3: he care when it was Obama deporting millions of people?
26:11
Speaker 2: Did you vote for Obama and Biden?
26:12
Speaker 18: I did?
26:13
Speaker 5: Yeah.
26:13
Speaker 16: How do you feel about their deportations being day back?
26:16
Speaker 2: They actually deported more people than the Donald Trump.
26:19
Speaker 7: Uh, that's a good question because I really wasn't paying
26:22
Speaker 7: attention at that point, So I don't really I couldn't.
26:25
Speaker 4: I can't really say at least that one's honest. You've
26:28
Speaker 4: got to give him that.
26:29
Speaker 3: Now, this next woman is a hero, an American hero
26:33
Speaker 3: doing God's work.
26:35
Speaker 4: Bless your ma'am.
26:36
Speaker 19: Look, this's got to catch up for the rest of them.
26:39
Speaker 4: Got a sign ready, already.
26:42
Speaker 18: Good?
26:43
Speaker 19: Another privileged staff white man. Look, another privileged heaff white
26:49
Speaker 19: man who wants illegal illegal especially illegal criminals in the Oh,
26:56
Speaker 19: look at a party deal what no man bond didn't
26:59
Speaker 19: have time of your hair up?
27:00
Speaker 4: Sweety mother, mother.
27:04
Speaker 3: Now let's hear from elin Omar, a woman who seemingly
27:08
Speaker 3: loads the country that gave her refuge. Here she claims
27:12
Speaker 3: that free democratic America is one of the worst places
27:15
Speaker 3: on earth.
27:16
Speaker 20: I grew up in a dictatorship, and I don't even
27:21
Speaker 20: remember ever witnessing anything like that, to have a democracy,
27:26
Speaker 20: a peacan of hope for the world to now be
27:31
Speaker 20: turned into one of the you know, one of the
27:34
Speaker 20: worst countries where the military are in our streets.
27:40
Speaker 3: Joining me now is Sky News contributor Tina McQueen. Tina
27:44
Speaker 3: is elin Omar Wright, is America becoming one of the
27:47
Speaker 3: worst countries on earth with a dictatorship, worse than that
27:51
Speaker 3: scene in third world countries.
27:54
Speaker 11: Oh, she's an absolute joke reader. Honestly, she says, it's
27:57
Speaker 11: such an impressive country to live in. Yet you know,
28:00
Speaker 11: she's a senator. She has all the luxuries and privilege
28:03
Speaker 11: of that high office. It's unbelievable. She does nothing but
28:07
Speaker 11: winge and complain the whole time. I don't know how
28:10
Speaker 11: she gets voted in. Continue to be honest, she's an
28:14
Speaker 11: absolute disgrace.
28:17
Speaker 3: Well, if you look at the place that keeps electing her,
28:21
Speaker 3: you'll get an idea why she keeps getting re elected. Now,
28:24
Speaker 3: President Trump was elected on an America First agenda, and
28:29
Speaker 3: that included no foreign wars that don't serve America's interest.
28:34
Speaker 3: Have a listened to this argument between Tucker Carlson and
28:39
Speaker 3: Senator Ted Kruz.
28:40
Speaker 4: Tucker Caston is certainly.
28:42
Speaker 3: In the group who do not want to see America
28:45
Speaker 3: involved in any sort of foreign conflict, particularly in Iran,
28:50
Speaker 3: But this argument got very fiery.
28:52
Speaker 9: How many people living around?
28:53
Speaker 7: By the way, I don't know the population at all. No,
28:56
Speaker 7: I don't know the population.
28:58
Speaker 9: You don't know the population of the country. You seek
29:00
Speaker 9: to topple.
29:03
Speaker 21: How many people living around ninety two million?
29:04
Speaker 17: Okay?
29:06
Speaker 7: Yeah, how could you not know that? I don't sit
29:10
Speaker 7: around memorizing population tables.
29:11
Speaker 9: Well, it's kind of relevant because you're calling for the
29:14
Speaker 9: overthrow of the government.
29:15
Speaker 7: Why is it relevant whether it will because ninety million
29:18
Speaker 7: or eighty million or a hundred million.
29:19
Speaker 21: Why because if you don't know anything about the country,
29:21
Speaker 21: I didn't say I don't know anything about Okay, what's
29:22
Speaker 21: the ethnic mix of I wrong? They are Persians and
29:26
Speaker 21: well predominantly Shia. Okay, you don't know anything about Iran.
29:31
Speaker 7: So okay, I'm not the Tucker Carlson mixus bird on Iran.
29:35
Speaker 9: You're a center who's calling there the one government, the
29:38
Speaker 9: one about the country.
29:40
Speaker 7: No, you don't know anything about the country. You're the
29:42
Speaker 7: one who claims they're not trying to murder Donald Trump.
29:45
Speaker 9: I'm not saying that.
29:46
Speaker 7: Who can't figure out General Solamoni And you said they're
29:50
Speaker 7: trying to murder Trump?
29:51
Speaker 9: Yes, because you're not calling for military strikes against them
29:54
Speaker 9: in retaliation.
29:54
Speaker 7: And if they really believe that carrying out military strikes today?
29:57
Speaker 7: Who said Israel was right with our hell? I said
30:01
Speaker 7: we Israel is leading them, but we're supporting them.
30:03
Speaker 9: Well, this you're breaking news here because the US government
30:06
Speaker 9: last night denied the Nationalist Curity Council Spokesmanlex Favor denied
30:10
Speaker 9: on behalf of Trump that we were acting on Israel's
30:13
Speaker 9: behalf in any offensive capacity.
30:14
Speaker 7: We're not bombing, then Israel's bombing.
30:16
Speaker 4: Them, Tina.
30:17
Speaker 3: What Americans need to understand is that the Iranian regime's
30:22
Speaker 3: ultimate ambition is not the annihilation of just Israel, but
30:27
Speaker 3: of what they call the Great Satan America. I remember
30:30
Speaker 3: when I was a kid in Tehran in school, chanting
30:35
Speaker 3: death to America every morning. That is their agenda, and
30:39
Speaker 3: Trump's efforts in ending the regimes nuclear ambition is an
30:44
Speaker 3: America first position.
30:46
Speaker 4: But so many on the right don't see it that way.
30:51
Speaker 11: No, You're exactly right, reader. Look at Trump America first.
30:54
Speaker 11: He's sticking to the agenda he's always said he would.
30:57
Speaker 11: The main thing is that Iran cannot possibly have any
31:01
Speaker 11: access to nuclear to any sort of nuclear arms. You know,
31:05
Speaker 11: Trump isn't trying to overthrow the regime. Naturally, we'd all
31:08
Speaker 11: love to see the regime overthrown, but this is Israel's attack.
31:12
Speaker 11: Trump is doing everything he can for peace, and actually
31:16
Speaker 11: he's keeping everyone guessing. No one knows what his next
31:18
Speaker 11: move is going to be is going to be, but
31:20
Speaker 11: certainly he won't want his troops going in. He'll certainly
31:24
Speaker 11: support Israel, which, of course Tucker has really turned on Israel,
31:28
Speaker 11: so that may be the cause of his angst in
31:31
Speaker 11: that interview and his frustration.
31:36
Speaker 3: But do you see this, though, as a massive risk
31:40
Speaker 3: to the Trump agenda in fracturing his supporter base or
31:46
Speaker 3: is it just a few loud voices who are really
31:49
Speaker 3: behind this campaign against any sort of involvement with America
31:54
Speaker 3: with this Iranian Israeli conflict.
31:57
Speaker 4: I mean, so far, really.
31:59
Speaker 3: Israel has led the charge and the Americans have said
32:03
Speaker 3: that we stand by them. We haven't seen any strikes
32:06
Speaker 3: from America yet.
32:08
Speaker 11: That's right, America hasn't done anything other than support Israel
32:13
Speaker 11: and you know state the fact they don't want any
32:16
Speaker 11: in nuclear arms.
32:16
Speaker 4: Look, it's a.
32:17
Speaker 11: Few very loud voices. In the end, I think the
32:20
Speaker 11: Americans that voted for Trump and his popularity is still
32:23
Speaker 11: strong for second term president better than Obama or Bush.
32:27
Speaker 11: I think they'll stand by him and trusting him, and
32:30
Speaker 11: that's what they have to do because ultimately he'll do
32:33
Speaker 11: what's right for America.
32:35
Speaker 3: And there are some loud voices who supported Donald Trump
32:38
Speaker 3: who now want to see him impeach. They're not many,
32:42
Speaker 3: but they are loud, like comedian Dave Smith, who, by
32:46
Speaker 3: the way, has been calling for Trump to be impeached
32:49
Speaker 3: in prison for years. He supported Trump for all of
32:52
Speaker 3: five minutes, and he's back to wanting him impeached.
32:55
Speaker 4: I would be very happy.
32:58
Speaker 2: To see Donald Trump impeached for the illegal, immoral, borderline
33:05
Speaker 2: war of genocide that he's been helping the Saudi's conduct
33:08
Speaker 2: in Yemen. Even grading on a curve, he is a
33:11
Speaker 2: war criminal who deserves to be tried and buried under
33:14
Speaker 2: the prison, just right alongside Barack Obama and George W.
33:19
Speaker 2: Bush and John McCain and all the rest of them.
33:21
Speaker 2: Let me just say this real quick. Donald Trump should
33:23
Speaker 2: be in a prison for war crimes, for what he
33:25
Speaker 2: did to the people of Yemen. How's that for taking
33:28
Speaker 2: on the right. Don't you're just defending your democratic president.
33:31
Speaker 2: I actually stand.
33:32
Speaker 1: On principle lockdowns and keeping fauci on the job, and
33:36
Speaker 1: Yemen and Israel and Iran, and there's just like the
33:39
Speaker 1: government spending and there's just a lot of them that
33:41
Speaker 1: it's like I just kind of can't forgive him for
33:44
Speaker 1: But I think I might vote for Trump.
33:47
Speaker 16: Yeah, Donald Trump looks and man, I supported him this
33:51
Speaker 16: last year. I apologized for doing so. It was a
33:53
Speaker 16: bad calculation. At the time, it seemed like the right one.
33:56
Speaker 16: But he should be impeached and removed for this one.
34:00
Speaker 3: Donald Trump has campaigned on stopping the Iranian regime getting
34:04
Speaker 3: their grubby hands on nukes for years.
34:08
Speaker 22: Don't let Iran have nuclear weapons. That's my only thing
34:13
Speaker 22: I have to tell you today. Don't let them have it.
34:15
Speaker 22: They would have never had them, including around we would
34:18
Speaker 22: have They can't have a nuclear weapon. That's so, they
34:20
Speaker 22: can't have nuclear weapons. It's too too destructive, too powerful.
34:24
Speaker 22: They can't have it. But I wanted to make a
34:27
Speaker 22: deal with them, no nuclear weapons.
34:28
Speaker 9: You can't have nuclear weapons.
34:30
Speaker 3: So now I've got another sixteen minutes of vision of
34:34
Speaker 3: Donald Trump saying that.
34:35
Speaker 4: Over the years, just.
34:37
Speaker 3: Hundreds of times he has had this, has said this publicly,
34:41
Speaker 3: that he doesn't want to see the Iranian regime get nukes.
34:45
Speaker 3: That can't get nukes. It would be disastrous for the world.
34:48
Speaker 3: And yet it seems like his position at the moment
34:52
Speaker 3: is being treated as some backflip when it's always been
34:56
Speaker 3: what he is campaigned on.
34:58
Speaker 11: It's always been the case, you know. So the nuclear
35:01
Speaker 11: threat is not only to Israel, as you said, Rita,
35:04
Speaker 11: it's the whole, the whole of the Western world. So
35:07
Speaker 11: he's been very consistent, consistent on this, and I think
35:10
Speaker 11: it's you know, he's been right to do so.
35:15
Speaker 3: Now let's go to the New York Post reporting that
35:18
Speaker 3: border patrol agents didn't release a single migrant into the
35:23
Speaker 3: US last month, a staggering drop after the Biden administration
35:28
Speaker 3: allowed sixty two thousand illegal immigrants crosses into the country
35:34
Speaker 3: in May twenty twenty four.
35:36
Speaker 4: So just you can't get much better than that. A
35:40
Speaker 4: dropped to.
35:41
Speaker 3: Zero within a year, and it just shows Tina that
35:45
Speaker 3: everything the political pundits that activists told us was untrue.
35:50
Speaker 3: They said there were push factors behind this, there was
35:53
Speaker 3: nothing the Biden administration could do. When really, as soon
35:57
Speaker 3: as you took the sugar off the table and you
35:59
Speaker 3: in for some tough, tough policies, the flood of illegal
36:04
Speaker 3: immigrants stopped.
36:06
Speaker 11: Unbelievable, a nine percent drop since May May twenty four,
36:11
Speaker 11: So different to what the Biden administration, who actively encouraged
36:15
Speaker 11: these in illegal immigrants. It was always, oh, don't worry
36:18
Speaker 11: about going through legal channels, come in the easy way.
36:21
Speaker 11: It's insane and Donald Trump and his administration should be
36:24
Speaker 11: given great credit for this. It's saving the country a fortune.
36:28
Speaker 11: And not to mention for you know, keeping those dangerous
36:32
Speaker 11: illegal a lot of them out of the country.
36:37
Speaker 4: Well that was the issue, wasn't it.
36:38
Speaker 3: When you've got literally millions crossing illegally every single year
36:44
Speaker 3: unvetted amongst them, you're going to have people who are
36:48
Speaker 3: not good people. And they released the figures in recent
36:53
Speaker 3: years just a disturbing number of killers, rapists, all sorts
37:01
Speaker 3: of criminals who were able to walk freely in the US.
37:06
Speaker 11: And not to mention those sanctuary cities though, are giving accommodation, phones,
37:10
Speaker 11: credit cards, all sorts of things that veterans and homeless
37:13
Speaker 11: Americans never had access to.
37:15
Speaker 12: RITA.
37:18
Speaker 3: Now, this is another win for the MAHA movement Make
37:22
Speaker 3: America healthy again.
37:24
Speaker 4: Craft Hinds has announced that.
37:27
Speaker 3: It will remove artificial food dyes from its products within
37:31
Speaker 3: the next two years, and another major manufacturer, General.
37:36
Speaker 4: Mills, announced a similar measure.
37:38
Speaker 3: They've pledged to remove artificial colors from its full US
37:42
Speaker 3: retail portfolio by the end of twenty twenty seven.
37:47
Speaker 4: Good news for the US, But I wonder if.
37:50
Speaker 3: We're consuming some of these artificial colorings.
37:53
Speaker 4: Teita right here in Australia. But this is really what RFK.
37:57
Speaker 3: Junior has been on about to get some of these
38:00
Speaker 3: ultra processed foods to be a little bit more healthy
38:05
Speaker 3: for the human body.
38:06
Speaker 11: Well, what a great appointment are of Kenny turned out
38:09
Speaker 11: to be. He's doing what's right, particularly for children. I mean,
38:13
Speaker 11: the obesity rates amongst children adolescents in America is just
38:17
Speaker 11: disgraceful and he's embarrassed by that and he wants to
38:20
Speaker 11: make America healthy again. These are the right steps and
38:23
Speaker 11: if he continues down this path, he will turn around
38:26
Speaker 11: the health crisis America does have at the moment.
38:28
Speaker 3: Rita and to have two major food manufacturers on the
38:35
Speaker 3: same day make this announcement, Tina, I think is really
38:38
Speaker 3: quite significant. How important is the MAHA movement to the
38:44
Speaker 3: overall Trump agenda because it seems to be the one
38:47
Speaker 3: part of his agenda that has got supporters from all
38:51
Speaker 3: sorts of backgrounds. You've got a lot of people who
38:54
Speaker 3: may identify as left leaning who understand what RFK Junior
38:58
Speaker 3: is trying to achieve here.
39:00
Speaker 11: Well, I think the Kennedy name has a lot of pull.
39:03
Speaker 11: He's obviously a man of integrity. He's been dedicated to
39:07
Speaker 11: this for many of years, and he always looks back
39:09
Speaker 11: to the presidency of his uncle, where health and fitness
39:12
Speaker 11: was high on the agenda. He wants to bring those
39:15
Speaker 11: days back and again it's the right move, Reater, but
39:18
Speaker 11: he does unite everyone from across the board, across the
39:21
Speaker 11: political spectrum.
39:22
Speaker 3: Tina, before you go, Australia's relationship with the US is
39:26
Speaker 3: somewhat fractured right now. Who would you suggest we send
39:30
Speaker 3: in to try to heal the relationship?
39:33
Speaker 4: But I think Kevin runs the man for the job.
39:36
Speaker 4: Who is your pick?
39:37
Speaker 11: No, I don't think he is. Look there's a number
39:41
Speaker 11: of eminent Australians that could fit that bill and also
39:47
Speaker 11: the former ambassador to America. I think he would do
39:51
Speaker 11: a great job, Gina, Reinhardt is a great relation, a
39:54
Speaker 11: relationship with the administration. Any one of those would be
39:57
Speaker 11: better than Kevin Rudd. But it's certainly fractured at the
40:00
Speaker 11: at RITA.
40:03
Speaker 3: It certainly is, and Kevin Rud just cannot stay.
40:06
Speaker 4: In that role.
40:07
Speaker 3: That relationship is too important.
40:10
Speaker 4: Tina McQueen, thank you so much for your time today.
40:13
Speaker 11: Thanks reata still to come.
40:15
Speaker 3: I speak to a woman who was sold into child
40:17
Speaker 3: marriage at just twelve years of age, not in Africa
40:21
Speaker 3: or the Middle East, but in Washington State. Kate Yang
40:25
Speaker 3: joins me. Next, welcome back. My next guess is someone
40:36
Speaker 3: who has experienced the horrors of child marriage. Kate Yang
40:40
Speaker 3: was sold into an abusive child marriage for six thousand
40:43
Speaker 3: dollars in her home state of Washington by her family,
40:47
Speaker 3: which was just twelve years old, something that is not
40:51
Speaker 3: uncommon in the indigenous culture of the mun An ethnic
40:55
Speaker 3: group from Southeast Asia.
40:57
Speaker 4: Kate joins me.
40:59
Speaker 3: Now, Kate, thank you so much for your time tonight.
41:02
Speaker 3: Tell me about how you came to be sold into
41:05
Speaker 3: an abusive marriage at just twelve years of age and
41:09
Speaker 3: how something like this could happen in Washington State.
41:13
Speaker 18: Well, the thing is that in Washington State and a
41:16
Speaker 18: lot of Theeds, actually there's not lost protect children from
41:19
Speaker 18: being sold into child marriages. From my situation, I actually
41:23
Speaker 18: grew up in Fresno, California. When I was at the
41:26
Speaker 18: age of eleven, my family had me moved to Washington
41:29
Speaker 18: to live with relatives. And then when I moved to Washington,
41:33
Speaker 18: I was only at the age of eleven and I
41:35
Speaker 18: was living with an aunt and an uncle, and my
41:38
Speaker 18: aunt was actually the one who found me the child
41:40
Speaker 18: marriage and crushed me into it and forced me into
41:43
Speaker 18: the child marriage.
41:45
Speaker 4: You were not only a child bride.
41:48
Speaker 3: Your childhood just seems to be such a horrific experience.
41:55
Speaker 4: You were also essentially a child's slave.
41:57
Speaker 3: Tell me about what you were forced to do to
42:00
Speaker 3: pay off your parents' debt.
42:03
Speaker 18: Yes, So, basically, when I was given less than twenty
42:08
Speaker 18: four notice that I was moving to Washington, and then
42:13
Speaker 18: my mother shared with me that like, I had to
42:15
Speaker 18: come live with my unt uncle because I had to
42:17
Speaker 18: pay off a debt. Because when I was a child,
42:19
Speaker 18: my mom was a single mother, and in my culture,
42:22
Speaker 18: a husband can have more than one wife, and daughters
42:26
Speaker 18: are just meant to be sold off for a dowry.
42:29
Speaker 18: And unless you're a son, then you carry the last
42:31
Speaker 18: name and you are treated differently by the family and
42:34
Speaker 18: the community, and you're kind of put on a pedestal
42:37
Speaker 18: if you're a son. And so when I moved to
42:40
Speaker 18: Washington to live with my aunt and uncle, my mom
42:43
Speaker 18: told me I had to pay a debt because when
42:45
Speaker 18: my mom was single, my aunt uncle had to help
42:47
Speaker 18: my mom raise us, and so therefore I had to
42:50
Speaker 18: return the debt by helping my aunt and my uncle
42:52
Speaker 18: with their children, raising their five kids under the age
42:55
Speaker 18: of six, and so moving to Washington was extremely difficult.
43:00
Speaker 18: Taking on that huge responsibility. Being away from my mother
43:03
Speaker 18: was extremely difficult. I had a very rough childhood, so
43:08
Speaker 18: I really didn't know what to do with what to
43:11
Speaker 18: do with the situation. And also during that time, it's
43:13
Speaker 18: very scary because you're a child and you don't know
43:16
Speaker 18: and you're in a new environment. You don't know who
43:19
Speaker 18: you can trust, especially when you've endured a lot of
43:22
Speaker 18: abuse growing up and also seeing your mother being abused
43:25
Speaker 18: by your father as well. You know, that's something I
43:27
Speaker 18: had to live through. After my wedding, my mother in
43:32
Speaker 18: law on my first day of school, right she told me,
43:35
Speaker 18: she said that if I go to school, I'm not
43:38
Speaker 18: allowed to talk about my child marriage to anybody. She
43:41
Speaker 18: my mother in law, told me that if I was
43:43
Speaker 18: to share this news with anybody, then my mother would
43:46
Speaker 18: be arrested by the police and my sisters would be
43:49
Speaker 18: taken by the CPS and I would never see them again.
43:53
Speaker 18: So if you just think about the mindset of a
43:55
Speaker 18: child at the age of twelve, I just barely turned
43:57
Speaker 18: twelve because my birthday's in October, so my wedding was
44:00
Speaker 18: in February, right, so I just turned twelve, and so
44:03
Speaker 18: I had all this fear that if I spoke about it,
44:06
Speaker 18: then I would be my problems would come to my
44:09
Speaker 18: mother and my siblings, and I would never see them again.
44:12
Speaker 18: So I kept my silence to protect my family, and
44:15
Speaker 18: so I stayed and so ever since, ever since my
44:18
Speaker 18: mother in law said that to me, I was just
44:20
Speaker 18: so frightened, you know, I didn't know what would happen
44:22
Speaker 18: to me or who would take care of me, and
44:25
Speaker 18: so it was very scary time in my life, and
44:28
Speaker 18: I did my best to work through it, but it
44:30
Speaker 18: was extremely challenging. And because my in laws had a farm,
44:35
Speaker 18: I was forced to work on a farm as well
44:37
Speaker 18: as a child's I call it child slave. Because I
44:40
Speaker 18: didn't have the right, you know, to resist or not write.
44:45
Speaker 18: I had to live a double life, meaning that I'd
44:47
Speaker 18: go to seventh grade and pretend that I'm a normal
44:49
Speaker 18: seventh grader. The school allowed me to be enrolled using
44:54
Speaker 18: his parents as my parents. You know, I would call
44:57
Speaker 18: his parents mom and dad. His parents were on my
45:00
Speaker 18: registration when they enrolled me into middle school in Carnationian
45:04
Speaker 18: Washington in Washington, you know, and so nobody asked any
45:07
Speaker 18: questions at all. And I think a lot of it too,
45:10
Speaker 18: is that Americans or other I would say other people
45:14
Speaker 18: are afraid to ask some times because they don't want
45:16
Speaker 18: to be rude. But I feel like in this now
45:19
Speaker 18: that we know, my whole purpose behind this is that
45:23
Speaker 18: I would like people to ask more questions because a
45:26
Speaker 18: lot of times these children are subjected to child bride
45:28
Speaker 18: or slavery. And if you don't ask questions, how would
45:32
Speaker 18: you know how to help them or how would you
45:33
Speaker 18: know that they actually are an abuse the situation and
45:37
Speaker 18: they need help, right Yeah, So that's one thing that.
45:43
Speaker 3: You know, this is an issue in the community you
45:47
Speaker 3: come from, and the other girls who are in the
45:50
Speaker 3: same situation right now.
45:52
Speaker 4: How do you encourage them to seek help?
45:56
Speaker 3: Because you've got all those threats hanging over your head,
45:59
Speaker 3: all those fees, years of everything you experienced, and have
46:03
Speaker 3: you talked with lawmakers to try to change the laws
46:08
Speaker 3: to make it easier for these girls just escape these
46:11
Speaker 3: abusive relationships?
46:14
Speaker 18: Well, by advice to anybody who is a victim and
46:17
Speaker 18: survivor who needs help would be to reach out. The
46:22
Speaker 18: whole purpose of my advocacy work is to let survivors
46:26
Speaker 18: know that I've been there, and I've been through it,
46:28
Speaker 18: and I've survived. I'm here and calling I'm essentially calling
46:32
Speaker 18: out to them, letting them know that help is here
46:35
Speaker 18: and please don't be a free to come forward. Reach
46:38
Speaker 18: out to myself on my social media account or Unching
46:42
Speaker 18: that Last. Unching that Last is actually a nonprofit organization
46:45
Speaker 18: that I work with. They're Unctioning at Last and also
46:49
Speaker 18: is on her.
46:50
Speaker 3: You're doing incredible work, Kate. By just speaking out the
46:53
Speaker 3: advocacy you're doing, I'm sure you're going to be saving
46:57
Speaker 3: many other girls from the terrible faith that you experience
47:00
Speaker 3: for eleven years.
47:01
Speaker 4: You were eleven years in that marriage.
47:03
Speaker 3: Kate Yang, thank you so much for your time tonight,
47:06
Speaker 3: and that's it from me.
47:08
Speaker 4: Don't go anywhere. Newsnight is up next.
47:10
Speaker 3: I'll see you at eleven tomorrow night
