- 0:02Speaker 1: On Sconlands, Australia.
- 0:05Speaker 2: This is the Reader Panalkey Show.
- 0:08Speaker 3: Good evening and welcome to the Reader Panekey Show. Coming
- 0:11Speaker 3: up tonight. That arise of left wing violence on our
- 0:14Speaker 3: city streets with feral protesters again attacking women holding eight
- 0:18Speaker 3: peaceful rally. Adam Crichton will be here to discuss that
- 0:21Speaker 3: and much more. A new pole shows the majority of
- 0:25Speaker 3: Australias want to see and to all Welcome to country ceremonies.
- 0:29Speaker 3: I'll speak to Professor Ian Plimer about that controversy. The
- 0:32Speaker 3: Great Josh Hammer will have the latest from the US,
- 0:35Speaker 3: from the arrest of judges hiding criminals to the fake
- 0:39Speaker 3: news about Donald Trump's blue suit, and later in the hour,
- 0:43Speaker 3: Kinsis Scofield will tell us why pop stars Beyonce and
- 0:46Speaker 3: Katie Perry are struggling to sell concert tickets and left
- 0:50Speaker 3: is losing. It features an Irish band praising Hamas and
- 0:54Speaker 3: his buller. But first, a women will Speak rally in
- 1:06Speaker 3: Melbourne organized by Women's Voices Australia descended into chaos on
- 1:11Speaker 3: the weekend after it was disrupted by a protrans counter protest,
- 1:16Speaker 3: which quickly became violent.
- 1:19Speaker 4: Street fights breakout in the city fists fly as transgender
- 1:25Speaker 4: rights protesters and opponents scuffle in skirmishes. Capsico spray used
- 1:31Speaker 4: to disperse crowds. A women's rights protest was organized for
- 1:35Speaker 4: midday at Parliament.
- 1:37Speaker 5: It's women who are losing their rights, not.
- 1:41Speaker 3: People who have a gender identity. Women's spaces, women's sports
- 1:46Speaker 3: men are encroaching on all of that.
- 1:51Speaker 5: It is frightening.
- 1:52Speaker 6: I found it very difficult to walk past those people.
- 1:55Speaker 3: They are rabbit. Joining me now senior fellow and chief
- 1:59Speaker 3: economists of the IPA, Adam Cricht and Adam. There was
- 2:03Speaker 3: four hours of utter mayhem in Melbourne. Roads were blocked,
- 2:07Speaker 3: public transport was disrupted, widespread violence and I haven't heard
- 2:14Speaker 3: condemnation yet. I may have missed it from the premiere
- 2:18Speaker 3: from the Prime Minister. There seems to be just this
- 2:20Speaker 3: tolerance of left wing violence. Yeah.
- 2:23Speaker 2: Well, actually I ended up in that protest.
- 2:25Speaker 7: Finally enough the transfer part of the violence walked around
- 2:30Speaker 7: the corner and something. I was surrounded by all these
- 2:32Speaker 7: rabid people. That lady certainly used the right work. It
- 2:35Speaker 7: was shocking how vicious and horrible these people were. I
- 2:38Speaker 7: was actually very depressed about Melbourne actually watching it all.
- 2:40Speaker 7: They were spitting at police, pushing police, screaming at police.
- 2:44Speaker 3: And yet there was only a couple of arrests. When
- 2:46Speaker 3: you're talking about four hours of mayhem, of just lawlessness,
- 2:51Speaker 3: I don't know how you can have just two arrests.
- 2:54Speaker 3: You saw them literally spitting on police, yep.
- 2:57Speaker 2: Well one person did.
- 2:58Speaker 7: They tried to break into the voter fora in store,
- 3:00Speaker 7: strangely on the corner, but just on your broader point, Yeah,
- 3:03Speaker 7: we always hear about far right this, far right that,
- 3:05Speaker 7: but you know one of these people, these are extreme
- 3:07Speaker 7: far left, and you never hear it called out. So
- 3:11Speaker 7: it's extraordinary double standard and it's very depressing. These people
- 3:15Speaker 7: are extremists in the true sense of the word. I
- 3:17Speaker 7: think they're very aggressive and can be dangerous. And finally,
- 3:19Speaker 7: they're all wearing their COVID masks, and I'm not sure
- 3:22Speaker 7: whether they're still scared of the virus or virtue.
- 3:24Speaker 2: Signaling, or they just don't want to show their identity.
- 3:27Speaker 3: I think it's a little from column A and B
- 3:29Speaker 3: and C because I think given some of the antics
- 3:34Speaker 3: that rather not be identified by police, they.
- 3:37Speaker 2: Don't have jobs, so it's they're probably not concerned about it.
- 3:40Speaker 3: And this protest was a three ProMED protests, so that
- 3:44Speaker 3: we're there because the women were holding a women's rights rally,
- 3:48Speaker 3: so of course that can't be allowed in Melbourne. But
- 3:50Speaker 3: they were also an anti Israel protest amongst them, and
- 3:54Speaker 3: also an anti police one because there was a police
- 3:57Speaker 3: shooting in Melbourne about a week ago. So it just
- 4:01Speaker 3: shows you it's the same leftist crowd. Whether it's an
- 4:04Speaker 3: anti police rally, whether it's an environmental rally, whether it's
- 4:08Speaker 3: a trans rally, it's the same usual suspects.
- 4:12Speaker 7: Yeah, the police did a good job too, I must
- 4:13Speaker 7: say they're putting up with a lot. They were very
- 4:16Speaker 7: calm under pressure, and you know, I felt sorry for them.
- 4:18Speaker 3: Actually sometimes I'd like them to sort of show the
- 4:20Speaker 3: attitude they showed with the anti lockdown protesters, with these
- 4:24Speaker 3: protesters that they arguably went in very hard. Not arguably,
- 4:30Speaker 3: they did go in very hard with what were peaceful
- 4:33Speaker 3: protests during lockdown, and now they have a very permissive attitude. Indeed,
- 4:39Speaker 3: also more controversy in Melbourne. I'm going to be talking
- 4:42Speaker 3: to a professor Ian Plimer about this later, but I
- 4:44Speaker 3: am interested in your thoughts on the ANZAC service, the
- 4:48Speaker 3: Dawn service being disrupted in Melbourne when the Welcome to
- 4:52Speaker 3: Country was underway. It was a five minute long welcome
- 4:56Speaker 3: to country. What do you make of the controversy? And
- 5:00Speaker 3: it should also be noted that along with the five
- 5:03Speaker 3: minute long official welcome to country one thousand dollars a minute, apparently,
- 5:08Speaker 3: there was also the MC who had an acknowledgment of country,
- 5:13Speaker 3: and also the governor added an acknowledgment of country. So
- 5:18Speaker 3: it was a lot What are your thoughts about? What
- 5:23Speaker 3: about the whole thing?
- 5:24Speaker 7: What shocked me was that both sides of politics basically
- 5:26Speaker 7: defended the Welcome to country at the ENZAC service when
- 5:29Speaker 7: they must know that the vast.
- 5:31Speaker 2: Majority of Australians would not think it's appropriate.
- 5:33Speaker 7: Look, I don't know if there's been surveys on that,
- 5:35Speaker 7: but I would bet one thousand dollars that the majority
- 5:37Speaker 7: would say on ANZAC Day it's not appropriate. And what
- 5:40Speaker 7: i'd certainly bet a lot more on is that if
- 5:41Speaker 7: you surveyed veterans, or surveyed our men and women in
- 5:46Speaker 7: the armed forces now, they would also say it's not
- 5:47Speaker 7: appropriate on ANZAC Day because you know, to welcome soldiers
- 5:51Speaker 7: to the country that they defended is somewhat ridiculous, and
- 5:54Speaker 7: I do think the broader point, we just have so
- 5:56Speaker 7: many of these things it's becoming a joke. You know,
- 5:58Speaker 7: the plane lands as a welcome to country, plane takes
- 6:00Speaker 7: off as well in the country, you know, an Zac
- 6:02Speaker 7: Day before, every.
- 6:04Speaker 3: Single before every meeting, sometimes multiple announcements during meetings. I mean,
- 6:09Speaker 3: it's beyond absurd. I've always said is a PC way
- 6:14Speaker 3: of saying, go back to where you came from. I
- 6:16Speaker 3: find it, as a migrant very offensive. It's pretty telling
- 6:21Speaker 3: me this isn't my land because I'm not entitled to
- 6:24Speaker 3: see Australia as fully my home because of my ethnicity.
- 6:29Speaker 3: I mean, how is that anything other than racial? Extremely
- 6:34Speaker 3: it is, Yeah, I know.
- 6:35Speaker 7: Just to give you an anecdote, when I landed in
- 6:37Speaker 7: Australia for I spent four years in the US, it
- 6:40Speaker 7: was a Quanters flight.
- 6:40Speaker 2: There was a welcome to country when I landed. I've
- 6:42Speaker 2: never experienced that before.
- 6:43Speaker 7: This is in Sydney, this is back in January, and
- 6:45Speaker 7: I thought, you know, honestly, like seven of my eight
- 6:47Speaker 7: great great grandparents were born in Australia and I'm being
- 6:50Speaker 7: welcome to.
- 6:52Speaker 3: Where will you not be have to be welcome where?
- 6:54Speaker 3: Is actually home exactly coming. Come on, now, let's watch here.
- 6:59Speaker 3: As three right wing activists from the National Workers Alliance
- 7:04Speaker 3: launched a protest at a Friends of the ABC event
- 7:08Speaker 3: attended by til MP Monique Ryan. Naturally, the response of
- 7:14Speaker 3: some of the lefties there was to get very upset
- 7:17Speaker 3: and one of them hit, ran and hit one of
- 7:20Speaker 3: these protesters. Now, Monique Ryan, instead of perhaps admonishing this
- 7:26Speaker 3: woman for that act of violence, is quick to comfort
- 7:29Speaker 3: her and give her a hug.
- 7:31Speaker 8: Have a look at this, Oh, there is Monique coming
- 7:43Speaker 8: in for the hug the group hug.
- 7:46Speaker 3: Look. I don't even know who these protesters were, what
- 7:50Speaker 3: they were saying. That's not the point, right obviously, But
- 7:56Speaker 3: why is someone running up to someone and punching them.
- 8:01Speaker 2: It's crazy, it's funny. Actually, it's a little old.
- 8:04Speaker 3: It was a little old. It's just not going to
- 8:05Speaker 3: do much damage. But I mean, really, again, if the
- 8:09Speaker 3: cases were reversed, it was a far left activist who
- 8:13Speaker 3: wasn't being violent but being punched by somebody, and the
- 8:17Speaker 3: conservative politician went in and hugged the person throwing the punch,
- 8:22Speaker 3: it would be front page news. People would be irate.
- 8:25Speaker 3: But we're just laughing. At this that's right.
- 8:27Speaker 7: It's just, you know, the inherent bias of the media.
- 8:29Speaker 7: Eighty percent of journalists folk one way, and it chose
- 8:31Speaker 7: in the.
- 8:31Speaker 3: Reporting absolutely Now to more serious matter. Despite vehement opposition
- 8:37Speaker 3: from Victoria Police, registered sex offenders in Victoria are successfully
- 8:41Speaker 3: applying to have lifelong reporting conditions lifted, with some even
- 8:45Speaker 3: winning the right to live next to Victorians schools. As
- 8:49Speaker 3: a report from the Herald Sun, recent cases include a
- 8:52Speaker 3: foster carer who raped a fifteen year old in his care,
- 8:57Speaker 3: but has now successfully argued that ongo reporting conditions have
- 9:01Speaker 3: become onerous. The man known as GT, has argued he
- 9:05Speaker 3: wanted to travel freely into state to visit his parents
- 9:08Speaker 3: and honeymoon overseas with a new partner, Adam. The judge
- 9:12Speaker 3: in that case determined that while GT's offending was very serious,
- 9:17Speaker 3: it was in the public interest to ease his reporting obligations.
- 9:21Speaker 3: I'm not sure about that rationale. Maybe you can explain it.
- 9:24Speaker 7: Well, it's certainly not in the public interest. Look, I
- 9:26Speaker 7: mean there's a difficult force. This is a difficult philosophical issue.
- 9:30Speaker 7: You know, people serve their time, should they still have
- 9:33Speaker 7: various conditions attached to them? But I do think in
- 9:35Speaker 7: the case of sexual abuse of children, you do forfeit
- 9:38Speaker 7: your rights, I think somewhat permanently when you commit these crimes,
- 9:41Speaker 7: and you have to understand that the rest of the
- 9:43Speaker 7: community would like to know where you are or at
- 9:45Speaker 7: least generally, and there should be some restrictions. I mean,
- 9:48Speaker 7: I'm not a criminologist, but my understanding is the rehabilitation
- 9:50Speaker 7: rates of this class of crime is not great.
- 9:53Speaker 9: Well.
- 9:53Speaker 3: I think if the police vehemently against it, that should
- 9:57Speaker 3: tell us something because I don't think there are a
- 10:00Speaker 3: signing up to do more work. I think they're concerned
- 10:03Speaker 3: because they think there will be some sort of reoffending,
- 10:06Speaker 3: or at least a risk of reoffending. Now let's talk
- 10:10Speaker 3: about what's happening in Queensland, and new figures from the
- 10:14Speaker 3: government are showing that the tough on crime approach with
- 10:18Speaker 3: youth offenders is working. They've got these new adult crime
- 10:22Speaker 3: adult time laws. There's been a thirty two percent drop
- 10:26Speaker 3: in cases against children charge with at least one of
- 10:29Speaker 3: the thirteen offenses that are included in these laws. So
- 10:34Speaker 3: we've had quite a dramatic drop there, Adam, and I
- 10:37Speaker 3: think it just shows that though tough on crime measures
- 10:41Speaker 3: are enormously unpopular with the activists who work in that sector.
- 10:46Speaker 3: They actually work, No, they do work.
- 10:47Speaker 2: And they've worked all around the world for many decades.
- 10:49Speaker 2: We know this.
- 10:50Speaker 7: Economists not this. They test this some in New York's
- 10:52Speaker 7: a classic example. There was the huge crime waves in
- 10:54Speaker 7: the seventies and eighties. The new mayor came in, it
- 10:56Speaker 7: got very tough and the crime went way down.
- 10:59Speaker 2: So this is this is a good thing.
- 11:00Speaker 7: I think, well done to the Queensland government. And what
- 11:02Speaker 7: a contrast with Victoria.
- 11:03Speaker 2: I think they maybe need a bit of the.
- 11:05Speaker 7: Queensland attitude down here where crime has been increasing. So yeah,
- 11:10Speaker 7: so I think it's job well done. I mean I
- 11:11Speaker 7: was a little bit surprised actually just these youth offenders.
- 11:13Speaker 7: I don't think they're the smartest kids in the world.
- 11:15Speaker 7: I'm shocked if they even know what penalties are. But anyway,
- 11:18Speaker 7: maybe they've looked into it.
- 11:20Speaker 3: Now before you go, we've just had the long weekend.
- 11:24Speaker 3: We've had two consecutive long weekends. A lot of people
- 11:27Speaker 3: have paid surcharges when they've been out dining and the
- 11:31Speaker 3: Prime Minister has had his say about this issue. He
- 11:35Speaker 3: says this supports the rights of workers to earn penalty rates,
- 11:39Speaker 3: is all for that, but he doesn't think businesses should
- 11:42Speaker 3: be charging these public holiday surcharges to cover the increased
- 11:46Speaker 3: wages bill. I mean, this is just another sign to
- 11:50Speaker 3: me that the Prime Minister perhaps is economically illiterate. How
- 11:53Speaker 3: can you have these enormous cost imposed on small businesses,
- 11:57Speaker 3: little cafes, restaurants paying around eighty dollars an hour for
- 12:03Speaker 3: people waiting, and how can they absorb that without passing
- 12:08Speaker 3: it on?
- 12:09Speaker 5: Yeah?
- 12:09Speaker 7: Well, actually I was at a bar in Melbourne on
- 12:11Speaker 7: Friday and the head bartender was telling me all the
- 12:14Speaker 7: staff were earning seventy two dollars an hour because an.
- 12:17Speaker 3: Hour I had these sashes were earning seventy two dollars
- 12:20Speaker 3: an hour on the weekend in Victoria.
- 12:22Speaker 7: So of course they have to pass it on to
- 12:23Speaker 7: some extent. And the fifteen percent, by the way, is
- 12:25Speaker 7: a lot less than the added costs, so their margins
- 12:28Speaker 7: would be a lot smaller that day.
- 12:29Speaker 3: Well, it's basically you either shut up shop or you
- 12:32Speaker 3: have to have the surcharge. I mean, no one likes
- 12:35Speaker 3: getting that surprise on their bill and off when it
- 12:37Speaker 3: is a surprise you missed the little note on the
- 12:40Speaker 3: menu that tells you it exists. But I don't think
- 12:43Speaker 3: you can be blaming the cafe owners for being greedy
- 12:46Speaker 3: in that instance. Adam Krista, thanks bittime tonight, Thanks for now.
- 12:51Speaker 3: The latest news poll out today has revealed that while
- 12:54Speaker 3: almost half the country believes the Albanezi government doesn't deserve
- 12:58Speaker 3: another term, even more people believe that the coalition isn't
- 13:02Speaker 3: ready to return to power, with the major party's primary
- 13:05Speaker 3: votes remaining unchanged from the last poll, with a two
- 13:09Speaker 3: party preferred figure stuck at fifty two forty eight percent
- 13:13Speaker 3: in Labour's favor. And that's actually an improvement for labor
- 13:16Speaker 3: on the twenty twenty two election result. Let's bring in
- 13:20Speaker 3: a esteem geologist and author, Professor Ian Plymer, Professor, the
- 13:24Speaker 3: opposition leader is still confident of victory. Is that confidence misplaced?
- 13:32Speaker 10: Perhaps?
- 13:33Speaker 6: But one has to have a lot of faith in
- 13:36Speaker 6: the polls. I'm not so sure I do. This is
- 13:40Speaker 6: a elect by electorate, a campaign. There are some seats
- 13:44Speaker 6: that will go against the national trend. There are others
- 13:47Speaker 6: that will go with it or follow the polls. Now,
- 13:50Speaker 6: we have a situation in this country where we used
- 13:53Speaker 6: to have two major parties and the ILP is the
- 13:58Speaker 6: political wing of the unions. Have so few people that
- 14:00Speaker 6: are in unions now and the ALP has performed so badly.
- 14:04Speaker 6: The people are leaving the Alps. They've gone to one nation,
- 14:08Speaker 6: some Family First people. Actually we're once ALP people. For example,
- 14:13Speaker 6: Family First in this state is run by the former
- 14:16Speaker 6: Labor State treasurer. So Labour has lost people. The Libs
- 14:21Speaker 6: have lost people. They've lost people into Libertarians, into one nation,
- 14:25Speaker 6: into Family First and perhaps living the Parment party. So
- 14:30Speaker 6: the game has changed a lot, and we now rely
- 14:33Speaker 6: on preferences. We really have no idea how they're going
- 14:37Speaker 6: to go. And I think a hung parliament is going
- 14:40Speaker 6: to be the worst thing for this country because we
- 14:43Speaker 6: will be making decisions that are very very few people
- 14:46Speaker 6: will be pushing for very hard, and they will be
- 14:49Speaker 6: against what the nation really requires. The best thing can
- 14:54Speaker 6: happen would be the ALP to win outright or the
- 14:56Speaker 6: Libs to win outright. But a hung parliament will not
- 15:00Speaker 6: help this country.
- 15:03Speaker 3: And particularly if the Greens hold a balance of power
- 15:07Speaker 3: or even some of those tills, I think either case
- 15:10Speaker 3: would be a disaster.
- 15:12Speaker 10: Now.
- 15:12Speaker 3: Peter Darton has done a bit of a u turn
- 15:14Speaker 3: in the space of forty eight hours on the Welcome
- 15:16Speaker 3: to Country ceremony and the controversy that was sparked over
- 15:21Speaker 3: the weekend or over ANZAC Day. I should say he
- 15:25Speaker 3: initially said this after the ANZAC Day ceremony was disrupted.
- 15:31Speaker 11: Welcome the Country is an important part of efficient ceremonies
- 15:34Speaker 11: and it should be respected.
- 15:36Speaker 6: And I don't agree with the doing, and I don't agree.
- 15:41Speaker 11: In our democracy the people can't accept the user and
- 15:46Speaker 11: the others.
- 15:47Speaker 3: But last night, during the debate with the Prime Minister,
- 15:50Speaker 3: he had this to say.
- 15:51Speaker 11: For the opening of Parliament, fair enough, it's respectful to do.
- 15:56Speaker 11: But for the start of every meeting at work or
- 15:59Speaker 11: the stuff out of a football game, I think a
- 16:01Speaker 11: lot of Australians think it's overdone and it cheapens the
- 16:04Speaker 11: significance of what it was meant to do. It divides
- 16:08Speaker 11: the country.
- 16:08Speaker 2: Not dissimilar to the Prime mister.
- 16:11Speaker 3: Look, I don't know why you didn't just say that
- 16:13Speaker 3: to begin with. You could condemn the ANZAC service being
- 16:16Speaker 3: disrupted without backing the Welcome to Country, which you did
- 16:20Speaker 3: in that first clip, saying was an important part of
- 16:22Speaker 3: the ceremony had to be respected. There's an online poll
- 16:27Speaker 3: that's just been published. Over fifty thousand Australians participated, and
- 16:32Speaker 3: ninety percent of them want to see less or no
- 16:36Speaker 3: more welcome to country ceremonies. The poll had sixty seven
- 16:40Speaker 3: percent saying that wants welcome to country ceremonies to stop completely,
- 16:46Speaker 3: while another twenty three percent said they want to see
- 16:49Speaker 3: less of them. I would have thought this is a
- 16:51Speaker 3: fairly clear cut issue, particularly if you're the conservative candidate.
- 16:55Speaker 3: But I there just seems to be a reluctance to
- 16:59Speaker 3: take a firm position on this.
- 17:02Speaker 6: Well, people who had a gut full of welcome to country.
- 17:04Speaker 6: You can't move without having a welcome to country. We
- 17:07Speaker 6: should be opening Parliament with a prayer, not a welcome
- 17:10Speaker 6: to country. That's happened for generations. You cannot travel an
- 17:14Speaker 6: aeroplane without getting some sort of political propaganda as you
- 17:17Speaker 6: land on an international flight. You come in from well,
- 17:21Speaker 6: I came in from Dallas Fort Worth not so long ago.
- 17:24Speaker 6: The plane was full of Americans and they get a
- 17:26Speaker 6: welcome to country. I mean, they have no idea what
- 17:29Speaker 6: this means. It's absolute total nonsense. Now people have had
- 17:33Speaker 6: enough and The only place I can go to and
- 17:36Speaker 6: be guaranteed of not getting a welcomed to country isn'to
- 17:39Speaker 6: my local pub. I might get welcomed as a creditor
- 17:43Speaker 6: to pay off my tab, but you can virtually not
- 17:47Speaker 6: move without having.
- 17:48Speaker 2: A welcome to country.
- 17:50Speaker 6: I'm over it. I'm thick of it. Well, I think
- 17:52Speaker 6: most of the population is.
- 17:55Speaker 3: I think you're one hundred percent right about most of
- 17:57Speaker 3: the country being sick of it. And it's something that
- 18:00Speaker 3: Senator just Enter Price has spoken about, and she is
- 18:04Speaker 3: very articulate on the issue, and I don't know why
- 18:07Speaker 3: we're not seeing more of her during this election campaign,
- 18:10Speaker 3: particularly talking about these sorts of issues. Now, before you
- 18:14Speaker 3: go pitter. Dutton was booed after he refused to do
- 18:18Speaker 3: a showy on Anzac Day at a RSL in Townsville.
- 18:39Speaker 3: Oh and it's a bit of fun, But I can
- 18:42Speaker 3: see why you refuse. I could just see him copying
- 18:45Speaker 3: all sorts of criticism backlash for glorifying drinking culture if
- 18:51Speaker 3: he actually did it. But I think it would have
- 18:54Speaker 3: endeared him to young male voters, and I think he's
- 18:57Speaker 3: got to stop worrying about a backlash from people who
- 19:01Speaker 3: are never going to vote for him anyway.
- 19:04Speaker 6: Well, North Queen's Land's a bit different from the rest
- 19:06Speaker 6: of Australia. Their hairy chest and real people. If you
- 19:10Speaker 6: can knock off half a dozen pints in ten minutes,
- 19:13Speaker 6: you are one of them. And Bob Hawk understood that
- 19:17Speaker 6: he was able to compete with the best. He had
- 19:20Speaker 6: a period of abstinence, well so he says, but then
- 19:23Speaker 6: was back on it again. So I think that does
- 19:26Speaker 6: connect with the working man in North Queensland. They actually
- 19:31Speaker 6: connect with people who speak their language. Perhaps it was
- 19:34Speaker 6: a mistake, perhaps it wasn't. I don't think it's important.
- 19:37Speaker 6: The important thing is the matters of principle that mister
- 19:41Speaker 6: Dutton has to stand up for. And these are the
- 19:44Speaker 6: situations that people find themselves in, being unable to pay
- 19:47Speaker 6: their electricity bill, unable to buy food, unable to pay rent,
- 19:52Speaker 6: never able to buy a house.
- 19:54Speaker 3: These are issues which affect.
- 19:56Speaker 6: Everyone and just having a drink, you know, that's not important,
- 20:01Speaker 6: but the legacy media want to harp on with this
- 20:05Speaker 6: and keep away from the major issues. The major issues
- 20:08Speaker 6: are that if we have a labor coalition with the Greens,
- 20:12Speaker 6: then this country really goes backward economically. We're on that
- 20:16Speaker 6: path already.
- 20:17Speaker 3: Let's stop it, Professor Employmer, thanks for your time. Thank
- 20:23Speaker 3: you still to carm Left is Losing It? Plus the
- 20:27Speaker 3: latest from the US, from the arrest of judges hiding
- 20:30Speaker 3: criminals to the fake news about Donald Trump's blue suit,
- 20:34Speaker 3: the Great Josh Hammer as the latest. You're watching the
- 20:46Speaker 3: reader panning your show, and it's time for left is
- 20:49Speaker 3: Losing It And let's start with a musical flavor. And
- 20:52Speaker 3: it seems that leftism destroys everything. Even the biggest superstars
- 20:57Speaker 3: like Beyonce and Katie Perry become figures of ridicule in
- 21:01Speaker 3: twenty twenty five. Let's start with Katie, who, fresh from
- 21:05Speaker 3: pretending to be an astronaut, is now being mocked for
- 21:09Speaker 3: her cringe performance in her latest concertour. Did she leave
- 21:30Speaker 3: any discernible talent she had in space? I mean, imagine
- 21:33Speaker 3: paying good money to see this.
- 21:51Speaker 5: Now.
- 21:52Speaker 3: She never had much of a voice, but if that's
- 21:54Speaker 3: how she dances nowadays, I think we can give the
- 21:57Speaker 3: concert a miss. You can't odo tune whatever that now?
- 22:01Speaker 3: I do. Wonder where did it all go so wrong
- 22:03Speaker 3: for Katie? Perhaps it was on election Eve last November
- 22:08Speaker 3: when she posted.
- 22:08Speaker 12: This PI guys, I'm with one of my favorite senators.
- 22:12Speaker 3: This is Kamala Harris. She's going to be well, or
- 22:16Speaker 3: perhaps it all went pear shape when she posted this
- 22:19Speaker 3: on election dates, her Orlando bloom chumming it up with
- 22:24Speaker 3: Kamala and Doug Oh dear. Now Paul Katie is reduced
- 22:35Speaker 3: to a punchline, and she's not alone. Pop stars don't
- 22:38Speaker 3: come much bigger than Beyonce. But then she went all
- 22:42Speaker 3: Kamala on us. Remember that woeful speech she gave at
- 22:46Speaker 3: a Kamala rally When people thought she was going to perform,
- 22:49Speaker 3: they thought they were going to get a free concert. Instead,
- 22:52Speaker 3: they heard Beyonce mention a bunch of suburbs in Texas.
- 22:55Speaker 9: Texans and Houstonians from Thurlward River Books, Sugarman, Bit bore
- 23:06Speaker 9: Ailey Memorial, Southwestern North sign Alloway down.
- 23:14Speaker 3: To Moll City, and now no one wants to go
- 23:18Speaker 3: to her concerts. Daily Mail's headline reads, Beyonce mercilessly mocked
- 23:23Speaker 3: as tickets for flop Cowboy Carter Tour reached the same
- 23:27Speaker 3: price as a McDonald's meal. Yes, she's slash ticket prices
- 23:32Speaker 3: by more than seventy percent and still having trouble moving them.
- 23:36Speaker 3: Now to round up our little musical interlude, let's check
- 23:39Speaker 3: in with these charmers. I played this clip for you
- 23:42Speaker 3: when it happened. Here is Kneecap at Coachella singing Maggie
- 23:47Speaker 3: is in a Box, a song about the late great
- 23:50Speaker 3: Margaret Thatcher. Well, they've gone from that degeneracy to this.
- 24:07Speaker 3: Now Kneecap are openly praising the savage mass murdering terrorists
- 24:12Speaker 3: of her mass. Oh, yes, you heard right. They just
- 24:25Speaker 3: praise Hezbollah and her mask And they have the simpletons
- 24:29Speaker 3: at a music festival cheering for the type of people
- 24:32Speaker 3: who slaughtered youngsters just like them at the Nova Music Festival.
- 24:38Speaker 3: The Palastinians have.
- 24:41Speaker 13: Home and they're balling them from this.
- 24:42Speaker 3: Guys, if you're not calling it a Jana said, what
- 24:45Speaker 3: are you calling it.
- 24:49Speaker 4: Now?
- 24:49Speaker 3: If the left didn't have double standards, that have no
- 24:52Speaker 3: standards at all. And here is another prime example. This
- 24:55Speaker 3: is Andrew Weisman claiming that Trump being targeted with Vogue
- 25:00Speaker 3: charges in a shocking case of law fare. Well, that
- 25:03Speaker 3: was a great day for America because it proved no
- 25:05Speaker 3: one is above the law. But when an activist judge
- 25:08Speaker 3: breaks real laws, well, their rest is a violation.
- 25:13Speaker 12: He is being treated no better or worse than anyone else.
- 25:18Speaker 12: This is not selective prosecution. That this is not somebody
- 25:21Speaker 12: who singled out that he is being treated just like
- 25:25Speaker 12: anyone else.
- 25:26Speaker 5: That is what it means to have a rule of law.
- 25:29Speaker 12: That is what the justice periment is really singling and
- 25:32Speaker 12: messaging here is that everyone will be treated as Merrick
- 25:36Speaker 12: Garland has said, as equally in this country. This is
- 25:40Speaker 12: really really a great day for America. So there has
- 25:44Speaker 12: been a violation here that we know for sure, and
- 25:47Speaker 12: it is not the judge exactly. You don't do it,
- 25:52Speaker 12: even if you thought that there was a ground for
- 25:55Speaker 12: doing this. The judgment call that you thought that this
- 26:00Speaker 12: is the case to bring it tells you everything. There
- 26:03Speaker 12: is no adult in the room who would have said,
- 26:05Speaker 12: are you kidding me? Why would you possibly do this?
- 26:09Speaker 12: And the answer is because we want to send a
- 26:11Speaker 12: signal to the judiciary and that's what you shouldn't be doing.
- 26:16Speaker 3: And isn't it funny how the notion that nobody is
- 26:19Speaker 3: above the law disappears when leftist activist judges break laws.
- 26:24Speaker 3: And these are real laws, not trumped up charges used
- 26:26Speaker 3: to stop a political candidate from winning offers. Remember when
- 26:30Speaker 3: Russian collusion hopes O, Rachel Maddow was all about no
- 26:34Speaker 3: individual being above the law. I wonder what's changed.
- 26:38Speaker 1: Nobody's above the law. We only have one system of
- 26:41Speaker 1: law for everyone. Nothing about being an elected official gives
- 26:44Speaker 1: you a license to commit crimes or a license to
- 26:47Speaker 1: get away with it. If you do, why step up
- 26:49Speaker 1: politically and defend a judge or a prosecutor that's supposed
- 26:52Speaker 1: to be a non political part of our systems. It's
- 26:54Speaker 1: not like we didn't know it was going to be terrible,
- 26:56Speaker 1: and it is terrible. He really did have a arrested today,
- 27:01Speaker 1: arresting a judge today?
- 27:03Speaker 12: Are you kidding me?
- 27:04Speaker 3: And why was Wisconsen Judge Hannah Jugan arrested by the FBI. Now,
- 27:10Speaker 3: this is the part of the story that Rachel met
- 27:13Speaker 3: Out failed to tell her audience. Let's see it from
- 27:16Speaker 3: Attorney General Pambondi.
- 27:18Speaker 10: This guy was in court being prosecuted by a state
- 27:21Speaker 10: prosecutor for domestic violence battery. He had beat up two people,
- 27:26Speaker 10: a guy and a girl. Beat the guy, hit guy
- 27:29Speaker 10: thirty times, knocked him to the ground, choked him, beat
- 27:31Speaker 10: up a woman so badly they both had to go
- 27:34Speaker 10: to the hospital and John, you know, it's so rare
- 27:36Speaker 10: for victims to want to cooperate. They wanted to cooperate.
- 27:39Speaker 10: They were sitting in the court room with the state prosecutor.
- 27:43Speaker 10: The judge learns that Ice was outside to get the
- 27:46Speaker 10: guy because he had been deported in twenty thirteen, came
- 27:49Speaker 10: back in our country, commits these crimes, charged with committing
- 27:52Speaker 10: these crimes. Victims in court. Judge finds out. She goes
- 27:56Speaker 10: out in the hallway, screams at the immigration officers. She's fury,
- 28:00Speaker 10: visibly shaken, upset, sends them off to talk to the
- 28:04Speaker 10: chief judge.
- 28:05Speaker 5: She comes back in the courtroom here can believe this, takes.
- 28:08Speaker 10: The defendant and the defense attorney back in her chambers,
- 28:11Speaker 10: takes them out of private exit and tells them to leave,
- 28:14Speaker 10: while a state prosecutor and victims of domestic violence are
- 28:18Speaker 10: sitting in the courtroom.
- 28:20Speaker 3: Join I mean now is Newsweek's senior editor at large
- 28:23Speaker 3: and article three projects seeniing Council Josh Hamma. Josh, the
- 28:27Speaker 3: leftist media is actually pushing the narrative these arrests are sinister,
- 28:32Speaker 3: that politically motivated. They seem to think that these leftist
- 28:35Speaker 3: judges are above the law. They can obstruct justice, they
- 28:40Speaker 3: can high defenders.
- 28:43Speaker 6: Reader.
- 28:45Speaker 13: You know, Rachel Maddow is one thing, But I mean, seriously,
- 28:47Speaker 13: how many times for the past two years do we
- 28:49Speaker 13: hear leftist media talking hands, leftist lawyers, Democratic senators, Congressman
- 28:55Speaker 13: Barack Obama, Michelle Obama, Joe Biden, Kamwala Harris, the all this,
- 29:00Speaker 13: over and over and over again.
- 29:02Speaker 5: No one is above the law. No one is above law.
- 29:04Speaker 13: Oh wait, yeah, no one is above the law until
- 29:06Speaker 13: it's a sympathetic Democrat judge trying to harbor an illegal
- 29:10Speaker 13: alien's escape. I mean, you can't make this stuff up.
- 29:14Speaker 13: I mean literally, like these people are just systemically incapable
- 29:18Speaker 13: of anything remotely resembling intellectual consistency. I mean it literally
- 29:23Speaker 13: is what is good for the goose is apparently not
- 29:26Speaker 13: good for the gander. Now I happen to agree with
- 29:28Speaker 13: Rachel Maddow in those first two clips. I agree that
- 29:30Speaker 13: no one is above the law. I happened to disagree
- 29:33Speaker 13: with her on what the law is as it applied to,
- 29:36Speaker 13: for example, Donald Trump and these four prosecutions. But in
- 29:39Speaker 13: this particular case, the case of the state judge in Wisconsin,
- 29:41Speaker 13: there this is constitutional law. One on one stuff Frita.
- 29:44Speaker 13: The Article six of the US Constitution is very clear.
- 29:47Speaker 13: Federal law is supreme over state law. If federal law
- 29:50Speaker 13: says you're an illegal alien, you got to get out,
- 29:52Speaker 13: and the state judged trying to undermine that, that state
- 29:55Speaker 13: judge has to be arrested, and thank god that's what happened.
- 30:00Speaker 3: Well, Trump did vow to tackle this two tier justice system.
- 30:04Speaker 3: This was part of the election campaign. But we're still
- 30:07Speaker 3: seeing cases. And this one involving Tim Walls's employee in Minnesota,
- 30:13Speaker 3: government employee Dylan Bryan Adams, is another example. This guy
- 30:17Speaker 3: was caught on tape. There's extensive video of him vandalizing Tesla's,
- 30:22Speaker 3: causing around twenty thousand dollars in damage. Well, he won't
- 30:26Speaker 3: be facing jail because the progressive district attorney in that
- 30:31Speaker 3: state is declining to charge him. Yes, she looks exactly
- 30:35Speaker 3: as you'd expect her to look, Josh. The local police
- 30:38Speaker 3: chief has called this decision to opt for a diversion
- 30:42Speaker 3: rather than criminal charges a betrayal of victims. Now, this
- 30:46Speaker 3: is just one case, but we see these sort of
- 30:49Speaker 3: instances over and over again.
- 30:52Speaker 13: Yeah, nothing says progressivism in America in the year twenty
- 30:56Speaker 13: twenty five, like someone who looks like that with that
- 30:58Speaker 13: particular haircut and that very white, pale skin tongue wearing
- 31:02Speaker 13: a black Defenders Matter t shirt. Right, I mean literally,
- 31:06Speaker 13: nothing I think encapsulates an underscores the utter ridiculousness that
- 31:10Speaker 13: is the identity politics intersectionality obsessed modern American left than
- 31:15Speaker 13: that image right there. But again, these people have no
- 31:18Speaker 13: interest in anything remotely resembling the neutral enforcement of the
- 31:21Speaker 13: rule of law. They are the original pioneers of reward
- 31:25Speaker 13: my friends and punish my enemies by any means possible,
- 31:27Speaker 13: and we see that play out time and time again.
- 31:30Speaker 13: The Rachel Maddow klep as it applies, this notion and
- 31:32Speaker 13: known as about the law is one thing there, But
- 31:34Speaker 13: this scoff law in Minnesota. And by the way, color
- 31:37Speaker 13: me surprise, really, I mean color me surprised, and that
- 31:40Speaker 13: this is happening in Tim Wallas's Minnesota. Tim Walls of
- 31:43Speaker 13: Minnesota was ground zero of the Saint George Floyd ryots
- 31:46Speaker 13: back in May and into June and July of the
- 31:49Speaker 13: summer of twenty twenty. There, Tim Walls was the one
- 31:51Speaker 13: who lets what could have been a small contained fire
- 31:54Speaker 13: erupted into a nationwide great conflagration, and now it's happening
- 31:58Speaker 13: here when it comes to the so called test take
- 32:00Speaker 13: down this latest form of leftist anarchy and political violence.
- 32:03Speaker 13: There I none of this story surprised me. The fact
- 32:06Speaker 13: that the prosecutor looks like that, the fact that this
- 32:08Speaker 13: has taken place in Tim Wallas's backyard, the fact that
- 32:11Speaker 13: Elon must test us above. This one story in many
- 32:14Speaker 13: ways where I think completely underscores everything that is wrong
- 32:18Speaker 13: with the current American political left, and it kind of
- 32:20Speaker 13: reminds me. A lot of folks here in the United
- 32:22Speaker 13: States are making a big fuss of the fact that
- 32:24Speaker 13: a couple of polls have been trending downward over the
- 32:26Speaker 13: past couple weeks for Donald Trump. But what they're not
- 32:29Speaker 13: telling you is that if you look on the second
- 32:30Speaker 13: and third paragraph and most of these posters' articles, they
- 32:33Speaker 13: will still note that Donald Trump is still more trusted
- 32:35Speaker 13: and more popular than the Democrats. And the reason for
- 32:38Speaker 13: that is for stuff like this.
- 32:42Speaker 3: Absolutely. Now, Josh to the shocking tragedy that saw the
- 32:46Speaker 3: loss of more than sixty lives when a black Hawk
- 32:49Speaker 3: helicopter collided with an American Airlines flight near Reagan International Airport.
- 32:54Speaker 3: There was a great deal of criticism and defense of
- 32:59Speaker 3: DEI at the time, diversity equity inclusion programs, a great
- 33:03Speaker 3: deal of focus on the fact that the pilot here,
- 33:06Speaker 3: the helicopter pilot in the black Hawk, was a female, Captain,
- 33:11Speaker 3: Rebecca low back Well. We now have more details on
- 33:15Speaker 3: the crash, and it's been revealed that not only was
- 33:18Speaker 3: the black Hawk flying too high, but in the final
- 33:22Speaker 3: seconds before the crash, the pilot failed to heed a
- 33:26Speaker 3: directive from her co pilot, an Army flight instructor to
- 33:30Speaker 3: change course. As many speculated at the time, Josh, this
- 33:36Speaker 3: looked like human era, an avoidable strategity that's taken the
- 33:41Speaker 3: lives of sixty seven people.
- 33:44Speaker 13: So this was a truly horrific story. I was actually
- 33:47Speaker 13: in Washington, DC when this happened. I was set to
- 33:50Speaker 13: fly out of Reagan Airport, the very airport less than
- 33:52Speaker 13: twenty four hours after the crash. My flight was delayed,
- 33:55Speaker 13: and then when I finally got to the airport the
- 33:56Speaker 13: next day for my delete flight, it was quite growing.
- 34:00Speaker 13: As you can imagine pulling up to the airport and
- 34:02Speaker 13: seeing the wreckage there with the sirens and the flashing
- 34:05Speaker 13: lights in the Potomac River there. So this is a
- 34:07Speaker 13: tragedy that I'm on a personal level, I'm not going
- 34:10Speaker 13: to soon forget anytime soon there. But we do know
- 34:13Speaker 13: a little bit more about what happens here. We do
- 34:15Speaker 13: know that this was just just a total, just great
- 34:20Speaker 13: amalgamation of errors happening all at once. Some person left
- 34:24Speaker 13: early who was supposed to be there in flight control
- 34:26Speaker 13: there as you saw what just happened here. The pilotist
- 34:29Speaker 13: just simply did not listen to a co pilot there.
- 34:32Speaker 13: I think the DEI is one of many factors to
- 34:34Speaker 13: blame here. It seems like there are numerous factors there.
- 34:37Speaker 13: But when it comes to something like this, rita something
- 34:39Speaker 13: like when you were near the pilot of a Blackhawk
- 34:42Speaker 13: military helicopter, I'm sorry. There is literally one thing. There
- 34:46Speaker 13: is one thing that I want to know that is
- 34:49Speaker 13: happening there and choosing who is piling that aircraft, and
- 34:51Speaker 13: that is who is the most skilled aviator possible. I
- 34:54Speaker 13: don't give a crap about literally anything else in the world,
- 34:57Speaker 13: the same way that I don't give a crap about
- 34:59Speaker 13: what skin colors. If you are doing open heart surgery,
- 35:03Speaker 13: if you are doing any task or public safety, anyone's
- 35:06Speaker 13: health safety is at rest there. Literally, the only thing
- 35:09Speaker 13: they care about is how good you are. That is
- 35:12Speaker 13: the entire notion of equal just under under the law
- 35:16Speaker 13: of meritocracy. That is the bread and butter of Western
- 35:18Speaker 13: civilization itself. We we lose that to our own peril.
- 35:22Speaker 13: We forget that to our own peril. And frankly, with
- 35:24Speaker 13: every tragedy like this, there's obviously a horrific loss of
- 35:27Speaker 13: human life, and may their memories all be a blessing there.
- 35:30Speaker 13: But every time that DEI contributes in some way to
- 35:32Speaker 13: a tragedy like this, frankly, Lamir Putin and Shijimping, they're
- 35:36Speaker 13: just licking their chops because they see these stupid Americans
- 35:38Speaker 13: that are doing this and they're literally causing death and
- 35:41Speaker 13: destruction there, and our enemies are only embolded and frankly laughing.
- 35:44Speaker 13: And that's as a result of this.
- 35:47Speaker 3: Well, we've got airlines, multiple airlines that are pushing for
- 35:51Speaker 3: these DEI policies that want to have commercial airline pilots
- 35:55Speaker 3: that are more reflective of society. They're overwhelmingly white male
- 36:00Speaker 3: at the moment, and there's been numerous articles on these
- 36:03Speaker 3: numerous programs that have been highlighted with different airlines, And
- 36:08Speaker 3: what you just said is so true. I don't think
- 36:11Speaker 3: there's a single person who flies who cares about the color,
- 36:15Speaker 3: or the gender, or the sexual orientation of who's in
- 36:18Speaker 3: the cockpit. You just want to have the best person
- 36:20Speaker 3: for the job, and I would have thought airline pilots
- 36:24Speaker 3: would be one area where you want to value meritocracy
- 36:28Speaker 3: above all else, Josh. The lies against Donald Trump are
- 36:32Speaker 3: getting ever more absurd. Now they're accusing him of disrespecting
- 36:36Speaker 3: the late Pope and the Vatican by wearing a blue
- 36:39Speaker 3: suit to Pope Francis's funeral. The fake news here just
- 36:45Speaker 3: spread like wildfire. Starts with this headline, the Vatican asked
- 36:49Speaker 3: Pope France's funeral attendees to wear all black. Trump wore
- 36:54Speaker 3: a blue suit, and this is the image they used
- 36:57Speaker 3: with that story, carefully cropped foot deliberately hiding all the
- 37:02Speaker 3: men in blue suits, including Prince William and all sorts
- 37:05Speaker 3: of other dignitaries. And as you can see in the
- 37:08Speaker 3: wider shots, these publications have gone out of their way
- 37:13Speaker 3: to kind of mislead and we've seen publications from the
- 37:17Speaker 3: UK to the US Josh spreading this fake news about
- 37:21Speaker 3: Trump's blue suit.
- 37:23Speaker 13: I mean, look, I mean, reader, I watch a lot
- 37:25Speaker 13: of Donald Trump coverage over the years. I've seen him
- 37:26Speaker 13: give many speeches, I've seen him give many White House
- 37:29Speaker 13: overlops interviews. I genuinely, as someone who pays actually fairly
- 37:33Speaker 13: close attention to men's sartorial choices when they are in
- 37:35Speaker 13: high positions, I actually genuinely struggle to think of a
- 37:39Speaker 13: single instance when Donald Trump is actually wearing a black suit.
- 37:42Speaker 13: I'm genuinely is like thinking out loud here with you
- 37:43Speaker 13: in real time. Here, I feel like the guy's always
- 37:45Speaker 13: wearing a blue suit. I mean, I mean Trump's go
- 37:47Speaker 13: to Look. Anyone knows anything about Donald Trump's wardrobe, you
- 37:50Speaker 13: know that he is known for wearing various shades of
- 37:52Speaker 13: blue suits, and typically his go to choices is a thick, bald,
- 37:56Speaker 13: long red tie. That is Donald Trump. One on one,
- 37:59Speaker 13: you want to go get bobblehead Donald the toy store
- 38:01Speaker 13: of Donald Trump. You're gonna get a blue suit, red tie.
- 38:03Speaker 13: That is the image, that's the magazine covered, That's who
- 38:05Speaker 13: he is there. Now he has a lot of blue suits. Now,
- 38:07Speaker 13: he has various shades of blue suits. There, there's lighter blue,
- 38:10Speaker 13: there's darker blue, there's royal blue, navy blue. But I'm
- 38:14Speaker 13: genuinely now thinking here, my mind is racing. I can't
- 38:18Speaker 13: think of a single time where he wears like a
- 38:19Speaker 13: jet black suit there. That's just not who he is,
- 38:21Speaker 13: that's not his style. There, And yes, I mean to
- 38:24Speaker 13: your broader point here, this obviously is it's beyond silly.
- 38:28Speaker 13: It's so trite, it's so done. No one cares for this, literally,
- 38:32Speaker 13: no one cares for this. I mean Fortune Magazine there.
- 38:34Speaker 13: I mean, how desperate can you get there? I mean,
- 38:37Speaker 13: when you're forced to run articles like this, Really, when
- 38:39Speaker 13: you're actually forced to run ridiculous headlines like this, the
- 38:43Speaker 13: only logical conclusion that any consumer in the media can
- 38:45Speaker 13: possibly reach is that you are out of luck, because
- 38:48Speaker 13: you are out of content, because you have nothing better
- 38:50Speaker 13: to point you there, So you're forced You're forced to
- 38:53Speaker 13: cavil about his choice of suit there. It's just so
- 38:56Speaker 13: utterly absurd read. But frankly, no one cares about this.
- 38:59Speaker 3: It is so But I tell you it has an impact,
- 39:02Speaker 3: particularly outside of the US, because the US, he do
- 39:05Speaker 3: have a bit more diversity in the media, not as
- 39:08Speaker 3: much as you would like to see, but there is
- 39:12Speaker 3: counter narratives that are actually correcting some of this fake news.
- 39:17Speaker 3: But in Australia and elsewhere in the world, it's almost
- 39:21Speaker 3: all we get is just this relentless negative stuff, whether
- 39:24Speaker 3: it's a serious issues or trivial like the color of
- 39:28Speaker 3: his suit at a funeral. Before you go, just I
- 39:31Speaker 3: want to get your opinion on this remarkable New York
- 39:34Speaker 3: Times fluff piece that they've done on a character called
- 39:38Speaker 3: Hassan Piker, a character they describe as a progressive mind
- 39:42Speaker 3: in a magabody because he works out. Apparently that makes
- 39:45Speaker 3: him a megabody, but he's as bad as maga as
- 39:49Speaker 3: I'm blonde. What he is, Josh is virulently anti Israel.
- 39:54Speaker 14: Any kind of Zionist tendency should be treated in the
- 39:57Speaker 14: same way as being a f rabbit neo Nazi, and
- 40:02Speaker 14: you couldn't even you shouldn't even let someone be the
- 40:05Speaker 14: local dogcatcher. As as as Felix was posting, if they've
- 40:10Speaker 14: ever exhibited any sort of any sort of like positive
- 40:16Speaker 14: feelings about the state of Israel, I'm so serious about.
- 40:19Speaker 3: This, Josh. He has a hugely popular show on Twitch
- 40:24Speaker 3: where he honest shamedly praises hooty terrorists, spreads all sorts
- 40:30Speaker 3: of Hamas propaganda, and now he's getting fluff pieces in
- 40:34Speaker 3: the New York Times. What is going on?
- 40:38Speaker 13: Well, I think what was going on as ex accurate,
- 40:40Speaker 13: it looks like, which is that someone who has literally
- 40:42Speaker 13: made a name for himself as an apologist for Hamas,
- 40:46Speaker 13: who these has balla various other US recognized foreign terrorist organizations.
- 40:51Speaker 13: I mean, this is the guy who is now getting
- 40:54Speaker 13: you know, the page a one full spread treatment from
- 40:57Speaker 13: the New York Times, an organization that was probably best
- 41:00Speaker 13: known for burying coverage of the Holocaust back towards towards
- 41:03Speaker 13: the back of the paper for three four five years
- 41:06Speaker 13: during World War to the New York Times is a
- 41:08Speaker 13: long and deeply inglorious track record when it comes to
- 41:10Speaker 13: these particular issues. This particular individual, Hassan Piker, is so
- 41:14Speaker 13: toxic that after AOC of all people went on his
- 41:16Speaker 13: show one point last year, she kind of did did
- 41:19Speaker 13: a quasi maya culpa when she was asked about you.
- 41:21Speaker 13: She was like, Oh, I didn't know his views were
- 41:22Speaker 13: actually that radical. So I mean, I mean, this guy
- 41:26Speaker 13: has really made a name for himself there. So so
- 41:28Speaker 13: for him to get the full New York Times treatment
- 41:30Speaker 13: there that says a lot, frankly about The New York Times.
- 41:32Speaker 13: But for those of us who pay close attention there, this,
- 41:35Speaker 13: tragically is what The New York Times has been for
- 41:36Speaker 13: a very long.
- 41:39Speaker 3: It is incredibly Can not imagine something happening with someone
- 41:44Speaker 3: like that from the right side of politics. Can you
- 41:47Speaker 3: imagine some one spreading the sort of stuff he spreads
- 41:51Speaker 3: getting a cover like that? Incredible Josh Hammer. It's always
- 41:56Speaker 3: a pleasure, Thank you reader. Still to come. What on
- 42:00Speaker 3: earth has happened to Katie Perry. Kinsey Schofield is up next,
- 42:14Speaker 3: Welcome back, joining me now a celebrity and a royal reporter,
- 42:17Speaker 3: Kinsey Schofield Kinsey. Pop superstar Beyonce has been ridiculed as
- 42:23Speaker 3: tickets for her Cowboy Carter tour reached the same price
- 42:26Speaker 3: as a McDonald's mill due to lack of demand. Now,
- 42:30Speaker 3: I've got to tell you, Kinsy, I love country music,
- 42:33Speaker 3: but Beyonce's country album ain't country. Even her fans don't
- 42:37Speaker 3: seem to like it that much, judging by the lack
- 42:40Speaker 3: of demand for tickets for her concert. How did she
- 42:44Speaker 3: win a Grammy for Best country album with this mess.
- 42:49Speaker 15: You know, it's all about who you know, I imagine,
- 42:51Speaker 15: especially when you're Beyonce and jay Z. But I did
- 42:54Speaker 15: read an interesting article from Forbes about her new marketing technique,
- 43:00Speaker 15: this approach, you know, to bypass traditional media, where Beyonce
- 43:05Speaker 15: just associates or just promotes herself through social media in
- 43:09Speaker 15: a way to engage with fans. But I think that
- 43:12Speaker 15: that ultimately hurts her. You know, we the audience, like
- 43:16Speaker 15: you or I are going to be watching Good Morning America.
- 43:20Speaker 15: We're going to be watching the morning shows, and you
- 43:22Speaker 15: never ever see Beyonce sit down and do that kind
- 43:26Speaker 15: of fluff. I think she fears being asked really tough.
- 43:30Speaker 5: Questions about her husband, about Diddy.
- 43:33Speaker 13: You know.
- 43:33Speaker 15: I think that that's why we are saying this real
- 43:35Speaker 15: transition in her marketing strategy.
- 43:38Speaker 3: I think it's more than that. I don't think the
- 43:41Speaker 3: lack of ticket sales are just because she's not doing
- 43:44Speaker 3: mainstream media. I think it's just she's lost the luster.
- 43:48Speaker 3: Maybe she became too political, aligned herself a little bit
- 43:52Speaker 3: too much with the Democrats during the election campaign. Perhaps
- 43:55Speaker 3: it's all the other activism we've seen from her, which
- 43:59Speaker 3: seems inco heron or at very least hypocritical and also
- 44:04Speaker 3: just a very terrible album with this so called country music.
- 44:08Speaker 3: Now Katie Perry is also being mocked for her concert
- 44:13Speaker 3: to have footage of her trying to dance, if you
- 44:17Speaker 3: can call it, that has gone viral. This choreography is
- 44:20Speaker 3: pretty terrible. Kinsey, she was a pop icon. What's happened?
- 44:41Speaker 5: What did space take from her? Her soul?
- 44:44Speaker 15: I mean, she has spaced a lot of criticism for
- 44:47Speaker 15: the recent Blue Origin spaceflight. She's constantly fighting with the
- 44:50Speaker 15: elderly over real estate. A nun involved in a legal
- 44:54Speaker 15: battle with Katie literally died in court while fighting Katie
- 44:58Speaker 15: over real estate. Perry worked with someone accused of sexual
- 45:02Speaker 15: assault on her latest feminist anthemb which we've discussed previously.
- 45:07Speaker 5: Her album sales have been in the gutter.
- 45:09Speaker 15: A lot of these scandals are being attributed to negatively
- 45:13Speaker 15: impacting her ticket sales. But those dance moves cannot help.
- 45:19Speaker 3: Oh dear Now, seventy three year old football coach Bill
- 45:24Speaker 3: Belichick's girlfriend, Jordan Hudson, has interrupted his CBS Sunday Morning interview.
- 45:31Speaker 3: I should add Jordan is just twenty four years old,
- 45:34Speaker 3: so she's twenty four, he's seventy three, and he was
- 45:38Speaker 3: being asked about this relationship. That's raising eyebrows.
- 45:42Speaker 14: Make sure that that's the Jordan was a constant presence
- 45:45Speaker 14: during our interview.
- 45:47Speaker 5: You have Jordan Threat over there.
- 45:50Speaker 14: Everybody in the world seems to be following this relationship.
- 45:53Speaker 14: They've got an opinion about your private life.
- 45:54Speaker 12: It's got nothing to do with them, but they're invested
- 45:56Speaker 12: in it. How do you deal with that?
- 46:00Speaker 5: Never been too worried about what everybody else. Thanks, just
- 46:02Speaker 5: to try to do what I feel like is that's
- 46:04Speaker 5: for me and what's right?
- 46:06Speaker 3: How did you guys meet not talking about this?
- 46:09Speaker 15: No?
- 46:10Speaker 3: No, well, if they want people to stop talking, I
- 46:13Speaker 3: don't know that. Probably shouldn't have her had the interviews
- 46:15Speaker 3: at interrupting them. Surely a question about how a seventy
- 46:19Speaker 3: three year old got together with a twenty four year
- 46:22Speaker 3: old is expected to be asked. That's a fairly regular question.
- 46:26Speaker 5: I would have thought, Yeah, I imagine it wasn't on
- 46:29Speaker 5: Farmers Only dot com.
- 46:31Speaker 15: But if I were a Bill Belichick, Yeah, but you're
- 46:34Speaker 15: hearing you're hearing Pierce Morgan and all sorts of people
- 46:38Speaker 15: warning him like blinkt twice if you need help, I
- 46:41Speaker 15: would watch Single White Female, Fatal Attraction and Basic Instinct.
- 46:46Speaker 15: And if you're feeling, you know, still feeling good about
- 46:49Speaker 15: your relationship after those, then good luck to you.
- 46:55Speaker 3: She could be his granddaughter. I mean, it's not even
- 46:58Speaker 3: she's old enough to be his. It could be granddaughters.
- 47:02Speaker 3: At some point, we've just got to say the age
- 47:06Speaker 3: gap is too much. I'm very liberal with these things.
- 47:08Speaker 3: I'm happy for people. Love is love. But come on, now,
- 47:13Speaker 3: let's go to the og Influenza Martha Stewart, She's thrown
- 47:18Speaker 3: a bit of a shaded Meghan Markle. During an interview
- 47:21Speaker 3: with Hollywood Access, she she asked whether Meghan's new show
- 47:25Speaker 3: was even out yet, Kinsey, she knew what she was doing.
- 47:29Speaker 5: Oh my gosh. Translation, you're not even on my radar.
- 47:33Speaker 15: I love it.
- 47:34Speaker 5: Martha barely knows Megan Mirkle exists.
- 47:36Speaker 15: It reminds me of the ultimate diva, Mariah Carey, repeatedly
- 47:39Speaker 15: saying I don't know her when asked about Jennifer Lopez.
- 47:43Speaker 15: It's the type of shade you're just born with. But
- 47:46Speaker 15: you're right, it's a master class I applied. Martha Stewart.
- 47:52Speaker 3: Now, before you go celebrity. Big Brother UK has a
- 47:55Speaker 3: big revelation at Jojo Siwa, who was a massive star
- 47:59Speaker 3: for children. She's now all grown up and she's dumb
- 48:03Speaker 3: to her girlfriend kath Ebbs on the show. I think
- 48:07Speaker 3: because she's found out somehow during this program that she's
- 48:10Speaker 3: no longer a lesbian.
- 48:12Speaker 5: Yeah, she decided.
- 48:13Speaker 15: Well, her girlfriend had to watch her like snuggling up
- 48:17Speaker 15: with a dude on the show live and could not
- 48:20Speaker 15: contact her, could not communicate with her. Jojo gets off
- 48:24Speaker 15: the show and at the after party breaks up with
- 48:26Speaker 15: her girlfriend because she's decided that she's not gay. She's
- 48:30Speaker 15: by and thank god we're all here to witness her
- 48:33Speaker 15: how she is epiphanies.
- 48:35Speaker 3: Of course she is.
- 48:37Speaker 2: You know what she is.
- 48:38Speaker 3: She's a chronic attention. Sayker Kinsey, thank you so much
- 48:41Speaker 3: for your time, and that's all the time I've got.
- 48:44Speaker 3: I'll see you tomorrow at eleven. Newsnight is up next
