Speaker 1: On scar loads Austrodia. This is the Wider Panety Show.
0:09
Speaker 2: Good evening and welcome to the readA Panety Show.
0:12
Speaker 3: Coming up tonight, Opposition leader Susan Lee under renewed pressure
0:16
Speaker 3: to step down as Newspolt delivers another devastating result for
0:20
Speaker 3: the Coalition.
0:21
Speaker 2: Adam Crichton will.
0:23
Speaker 3: Join me shortly to discuss the day's top headlines. Australian
0:26
Speaker 3: companies list energy costs as their.
0:29
Speaker 2: Number one concern. Profess A and Fimer will weigh on.
0:32
Speaker 3: That issue, and the Great Josh Hammer will have the
0:36
Speaker 3: latest from the US, including another example of leftist political violence.
0:41
Speaker 2: And later in the hour.
0:42
Speaker 3: Kinsisco Field with all your royal and celebrity news.
0:46
Speaker 2: And we have some cringe content from.
0:48
Speaker 3: Megan Markle and Hollywood has been Richard Gere stars in
0:53
Speaker 3: Tonight's Left is Losing.
0:54
Speaker 4: It is a dark, dark presence, but it's out and
1:00
Speaker 4: so quickly. Six months He's almost destroyed our country.
1:04
Speaker 3: But first, the latest News poll has revealed that core
1:07
Speaker 3: support for the Coalition remains at record lows, alongside an
1:12
Speaker 3: abysmal approval rating for leader Susan Lee. While one nation's
1:16
Speaker 3: primary vote has searched to eleven percent, It is double
1:20
Speaker 3: what it achieved at the election, and the highest one
1:23
Speaker 3: nation has achieved since twenty seventeen. Labour's primary vote remains
1:29
Speaker 3: at thirty seven percent. The coalition is floundering on twenty
1:33
Speaker 3: eight and if you look at the two party preferred numbers,
1:36
Speaker 3: well they're also grim for the coalition, with Labor leading
1:40
Speaker 3: fifty seven to forty three percent. Joining me now for
1:43
Speaker 3: more on this is Chief economists at the Institute of
1:46
Speaker 3: Public Affairs, Adam Crichton. Adam, this is a terrible mess,
1:50
Speaker 3: I would argue, a self inflicted mess. How much longer
1:54
Speaker 3: can Susan Lee remain at the helm with these numbers?
1:57
Speaker 2: Well, probably until the end of the year.
2:00
Speaker 1: I would say, Look, it's been six months almost since
2:02
Speaker 1: the election. The review is still going. We still don't
2:04
Speaker 1: really know where they stand on immigration, multiple reviews. That's why,
2:07
Speaker 1: multiple reviews. We don't really know where the coalition stands
2:09
Speaker 1: on immigration. Well, actually sorry, the Liberal Party we know,
2:11
Speaker 1: the National Party. The Liberal Party we don't know. And
2:14
Speaker 1: same with net zero, So no wonder they're in the doldrums.
2:17
Speaker 1: And I think you know, it makes sense that one
2:18
Speaker 1: Nation's double their support because they do have strong views
2:21
Speaker 1: on those two issues. In fact, Pauline Hanson spoke at
2:24
Speaker 1: Seapack in Brisbane just a few weeks ago and it
2:26
Speaker 1: was a fantastic speech. It was very forthright, it was
2:28
Speaker 1: very charismatic and it actually just got me thinking, she's
2:31
Speaker 1: you know, she's probably the most famous politician in Australia
2:33
Speaker 1: now and I think that that actually matters. I mean
2:36
Speaker 1: Susan Lee. I mean, I think there was a survey
2:37
Speaker 1: a few months ago. I think you know, forty percent
2:39
Speaker 1: of Australias didn't know who she was.
2:41
Speaker 3: So help her approval ratings. Honest with you, her net
2:45
Speaker 3: approval rating is not good. Thirty one percent of voters
2:51
Speaker 3: were satisfied with Susan Lee's performance, fifty one percent dissatisfied.
2:56
Speaker 3: So again, trialing the prime minister, that's to be expected.
3:00
Speaker 3: Brings me to Andrew Hasty has denied reports that he
3:03
Speaker 3: wants to contest the Liberal leadership, saying he backed Susan
3:07
Speaker 3: Lee and that his decision to step down from the
3:10
Speaker 3: Liberal front bench was about his freedom to express his
3:13
Speaker 3: views on immigration policy, not setting up a leadership spill. Adam,
3:19
Speaker 3: I can only hope for the sake of the Liberal
3:21
Speaker 3: Party and the.
3:22
Speaker 2: Sake of the country. That's not accurate.
3:25
Speaker 1: Yeah, look, and it's probably not accurate, i'd say. I mean,
3:28
Speaker 1: he's probably hoping for a brighter future at the head
3:31
Speaker 1: of the party at some point. But you know, he's
3:33
Speaker 1: done the honorable thing. I think he stood back. I
3:35
Speaker 1: think there's a forty fifty thousand dollars pay cut involved
3:38
Speaker 1: in that actually, so it's not like there is no
3:40
Speaker 1: personal sacrifice. There is for him, and of course it's
3:42
Speaker 1: less prestigious and so on. But I think it's already working.
3:45
Speaker 1: I think two other backbenches, is it ben Small I
3:48
Speaker 1: think in Henry Pike have already said that they support
3:50
Speaker 1: him on immigration or.
3:51
Speaker 2: On net zero.
3:52
Speaker 1: So there is a groundswell of support I think amongst
3:54
Speaker 1: the younger members of the Liberal Party in Parliament. I
3:57
Speaker 1: think it's a generational thing. I mean, Susan's been there
3:59
Speaker 1: for what twenty five years, she's very much the old guard.
4:02
Speaker 2: Exankly, what has she achieved in twenty five Well.
4:04
Speaker 1: That's a very good question. And look, she seems a
4:06
Speaker 1: nice lady, but I don't know what she stands for.
4:08
Speaker 3: I have an inkling that much of what she stands
4:12
Speaker 3: for would be far more comfortably.
4:15
Speaker 2: In the tials orfully labor.
4:19
Speaker 3: She is known for her back flips, but the initial
4:22
Speaker 3: position she often takes is entirely wrong for a center
4:26
Speaker 3: right coalition.
4:28
Speaker 1: I think that's right.
4:29
Speaker 2: And you look at the Liberal.
4:30
Speaker 3: Party now, their best talent is on the back bench,
4:33
Speaker 3: including Senator Price And if you've got a hasty price ticket,
4:37
Speaker 3: that is very attractive, I would think to the electorate.
4:42
Speaker 2: But should certainly do.
4:43
Speaker 3: The right thing here and step down as opposed to
4:47
Speaker 3: ripping up the party having a leadership battle that's going
4:51
Speaker 3: to be very damaging and divisive naturally.
4:55
Speaker 1: Look, it's a difficult question that I mean, history suggests
4:57
Speaker 1: that she won't because most people like being leader and
5:00
Speaker 1: they don't like leaving that position. It's also a much
5:02
Speaker 1: higher salary too, but that is a fact that we
5:06
Speaker 1: don't think of those things.
5:07
Speaker 2: But it is a factor.
5:08
Speaker 1: And they get lots of staff, lots of prestige. I mean,
5:10
Speaker 1: you know, at one point in time, I work for
5:12
Speaker 1: the leader of the leader of the Opposition and it
5:14
Speaker 1: was like, I think we had forty five staff in
5:16
Speaker 1: the office.
5:16
Speaker 2: It's a pretty big operation.
5:18
Speaker 1: So she'll probably want to hang around, I would say,
5:20
Speaker 1: that's my guess.
5:22
Speaker 2: She's enjoying me.
5:23
Speaker 1: Maybe it's good though for Andrew too, because does he
5:25
Speaker 1: really want it right now or does he want it
5:26
Speaker 1: closer to the next election.
5:28
Speaker 3: Well, there is a lot of conjecture about that, a
5:30
Speaker 3: lot of political pundits saying it's too early to challenge
5:34
Speaker 3: and he should do it closer to the election.
5:36
Speaker 2: I've got to say I disagree.
5:38
Speaker 3: I think they have so much ground to make up,
5:40
Speaker 3: There is so much work to be done that it
5:43
Speaker 3: needs to happen as soon as possible. This notion, then
5:46
Speaker 3: you can just come in with a few months to
5:49
Speaker 3: go and have a honeymoon period and win an election
5:52
Speaker 3: when you've got a gap that exists at the moment.
5:56
Speaker 3: And really the Liberals need to communicate to the elect
6:00
Speaker 3: who they are, what they stand for, what their policies are.
6:04
Speaker 3: And that takes time to do properly. And I think
6:08
Speaker 3: people take the electorate for granted.
6:10
Speaker 2: They're a lot more informed.
6:12
Speaker 3: And smarter than I think most politicians give them credit for. Now,
6:17
Speaker 3: let's talk about the Institute of Public Affairs. Your organization
6:19
Speaker 3: has just released some new research about prison costs in Australia,
6:24
Speaker 3: revealing that governments are spending over six point eight billion
6:28
Speaker 3: per year on jail facilities, with the average cost of
6:32
Speaker 3: housing a single prisoner blowing out to one hundred and
6:35
Speaker 3: fifty nine thousand dollars per annum. That is an enormous
6:40
Speaker 3: average costs. What else did you find with this look.
6:44
Speaker 1: It's a fascinating piece of research by my colleague Manerschlipt,
6:48
Speaker 1: And one of the main takeaways was that thirty seven
6:50
Speaker 1: percent of people behind bars are actually there for nonviolent crimes,
6:53
Speaker 1: and so that's one hundred and sixty thousand dollars each.
6:56
Speaker 1: It's very expensive. It does beg the question, surely there
6:58
Speaker 1: are better ways to to punish those people and to
7:02
Speaker 1: bring them back into the community. So that was one
7:04
Speaker 1: of the takeouts. And also we also found that Victoria
7:07
Speaker 1: actually has the most room in their jails by far,
7:10
Speaker 1: and you know, you're probably joke us because they don't
7:12
Speaker 1: put anyone in them, but that is an opportunity for
7:15
Speaker 1: the state to actually take criminals from other states because
7:18
Speaker 1: the other states are much they're struggling to find room
7:21
Speaker 1: in their prisons.
7:23
Speaker 3: I think that is going to shock a lot of
7:25
Speaker 3: Victorians that we've got so many empty beds in prisons
7:29
Speaker 3: because the cost is ridiculous it should not cost that much,
7:33
Speaker 3: and you can see in other countries how they've reduced
7:37
Speaker 3: those costs. But when you've got a crime riddled state,
7:42
Speaker 3: how can we have I thought that one of the
7:44
Speaker 3: reasons why people weren't being locked up was we just
7:47
Speaker 3: didn't have the facilities, because when's the last time we built.
7:49
Speaker 5: Yeah, well, they certainly do.
7:51
Speaker 1: They certainly do have the facilities. In fact, I think
7:52
Speaker 1: there are new facilities that are barely used in Victoria.
7:56
Speaker 1: But you're right, the incarceration rate is substantially lower than
8:00
Speaker 1: New South Wales. Substantially though in Queensland. I mean it's noticeable,
8:02
Speaker 1: and as you say, that's unusual because there.
8:05
Speaker 3: Is a lot of I can understand though, when you've
8:07
Speaker 3: had just a labor rule for so long and labor
8:11
Speaker 3: attorney generals appointing judges who are like minded, who've got
8:16
Speaker 3: a very so called progressive view of the criminal justice
8:21
Speaker 3: which is absolutely preoccupied with the rights of offenders as
8:25
Speaker 3: opposed to reducing crime. Now, Clementine Ford, I know it's
8:29
Speaker 3: one of your favorite far less feminist activist troll. Clementine Ford. Well,
8:34
Speaker 3: she's planning to launch her own social media app after
8:38
Speaker 3: her Facebook and Instagram accounts were deleted by Meta.
8:42
Speaker 2: Now I'm not exactly sure why this happened. She has a.
8:46
Speaker 3: Lot of extreme commentary recently, though, she has had a
8:50
Speaker 3: lot of extreme commentary on the assassination of Charlie Kirk.
8:54
Speaker 3: She even mocked Charlie's grieving widow, Erica. We talked about
8:59
Speaker 3: that on this and as Steve Jackson notes in The
9:03
Speaker 3: Australian Today, Clementine Ford thought it was fine to gloat
9:08
Speaker 3: over a great man's brutal death, but people laughing at
9:13
Speaker 3: her Instagram page being deleted are apparently just beyond the
9:17
Speaker 3: page that she's the real victim.
9:19
Speaker 1: Yeah, she's just a horrible person. And actually I really
9:22
Speaker 1: wish that Meta had not canceled the accounts because.
9:24
Speaker 2: She's in the news.
9:25
Speaker 1: That means we have to look at her and we
9:26
Speaker 1: have to hear her, we have to read her, and it's.
9:28
Speaker 2: It's a real struggle.
9:29
Speaker 1: She's definitely not my favorite person.
9:31
Speaker 2: I think she's awful.
9:31
Speaker 1: I'm sure she feels the same about me. I've got
9:35
Speaker 1: but you know, she's got nothing of real value to add.
9:37
Speaker 1: Just as you said earlier, extremely vitriol that comments. But
9:41
Speaker 1: I think for its own.
9:42
Speaker 2: Sake, I disagree.
9:44
Speaker 3: I think sunlight is the best disinfectant. I don't support
9:50
Speaker 3: unless someone is openly inciting, and that's that's against the law,
9:55
Speaker 3: so you know, that's becomes a criminal matter. I want
9:59
Speaker 3: the left to show just how ugly and rage that
10:04
Speaker 3: have become, because she does have an enormous following. You
10:07
Speaker 3: look at her numbers on Instagram and Facebook. She certainly
10:11
Speaker 3: had a following. And also she was doing great work
10:15
Speaker 3: for my lefties losing my god, I could have just
10:19
Speaker 3: had a whole Clementine Ford section.
10:21
Speaker 2: But then you know, probably well you'll have to join
10:24
Speaker 2: her new app Adam.
10:27
Speaker 3: Before you go, let's have a look at Greta Thumberg's
10:30
Speaker 3: latest bit of activism. Of course, she has become an
10:33
Speaker 3: anti Israeli activist these days, and the Swedish people have
10:37
Speaker 3: had enough. They're calling on the Israelis to hold on
10:41
Speaker 3: to her.
10:42
Speaker 6: My name is Givin tom May. I'm a citizen of Sweden.
10:44
Speaker 6: If you are watching this video, I have been abducted
10:46
Speaker 6: and taken against my will by Israeli forces. Our humanitarian
10:51
Speaker 6: mission was nonviolent and abiding by international law. Please tell
10:55
Speaker 6: my government to demand and the other's immediate release.
11:00
Speaker 7: My name is ju Jakim la Motte and I'm a
11:02
Speaker 7: Swedish citizen. If you see this video, Gritatun has been
11:06
Speaker 7: abducted by Israeli forces and I have a message from
11:11
Speaker 7: the Swedish people to the Israeli government. Please keep her.
11:16
Speaker 7: We have had her so many years in Sweden and
11:18
Speaker 7: we cannot stand it anymore.
11:20
Speaker 3: I guess that is an opinion that might be shared
11:22
Speaker 3: by a few Swedes. But let's never forget that little activist.
11:27
Speaker 3: That little goblin was lecturing people at the UN, lecturing
11:32
Speaker 3: world leaders. Policies were made based on her activism.
11:36
Speaker 1: Yeah, look, she's certainly annoyed so many people over a
11:39
Speaker 1: long period of time. And actually, I think when she
11:40
Speaker 1: got involved at first I thought, gosh, the Palace Citians
11:43
Speaker 1: are surely thinking please, no, please don't support us, Please
11:46
Speaker 1: please do something else, because I don't think it's helped
11:48
Speaker 1: them at all, because she's so annoying. And I think
11:50
Speaker 1: a lot of people seen her they're like, oh, if
11:52
Speaker 1: she's supporting it, it can't be a good call.
11:54
Speaker 3: No, And you know, being a little doom goblin. Climate
11:58
Speaker 3: change is the natural era for her. We need her
12:01
Speaker 3: to get back to get back to climbate that chain
12:03
Speaker 3: herself to tractors or whatever else she wants to do.
12:06
Speaker 3: Adam Chrichton, thank you so much for your time.
12:08
Speaker 2: Thanks render now. Survey of more than five.
12:11
Speaker 3: Hundred Australian companies has found that energy costs top the
12:15
Speaker 3: list of concerns, with businesses rating it three times more
12:19
Speaker 3: worrying than US tariffs and international trade disruptions. Let's bring
12:24
Speaker 3: in esteem geologist and author Professor Ian plimber In. Several
12:29
Speaker 3: corporate leaders, including those in the manufacturing sector, say the
12:33
Speaker 3: cost of energy is rising so fast that it's now
12:37
Speaker 3: risking their competitiveness with importers.
12:41
Speaker 5: Well, Australia's competitive advantage has been in the industry industries
12:46
Speaker 5: that really need energy, and we used to have cheap,
12:49
Speaker 5: reliable energy. We don't. So God help you if you
12:52
Speaker 5: run a foundry where you need a lot of energy
12:55
Speaker 5: and you can't suddenly have the energy turned off because
12:57
Speaker 5: the metal will freeze in the pot. God help you
13:00
Speaker 5: if you run a smelter, and we're finding that now
13:02
Speaker 5: with the smelters that use a lot of energy, the
13:04
Speaker 5: aluminium smelters and the zinc smelters, they're only huge pressure.
13:08
Speaker 5: Australia is the biggest lead smelter in the world. That's
13:10
Speaker 5: under pressure. So unless our energy prices are low, we
13:14
Speaker 5: cannot convert our minerals into metals, and that means we
13:18
Speaker 5: export our concentrate to China, and that means we get
13:22
Speaker 5: the prices we don't want, and that means that China
13:24
Speaker 5: controls even more of the world's metal markets. So it's
13:27
Speaker 5: no wonder that these industries are undergrade stress.
13:30
Speaker 3: But what were these business leaders when these policies were
13:34
Speaker 3: being formulated, Because the business community was very quiet about
13:40
Speaker 3: some of these mad green policies, despite the fact that
13:44
Speaker 3: it directly impacts the running of their companies. You see
13:49
Speaker 3: companies become outspoken about all sorts of social issues, about
13:53
Speaker 3: the voice, about same sex marriage, things that have really
13:56
Speaker 3: got nothing to do with their core business. This does,
14:01
Speaker 3: and so many corporates kept silent or jumped on the
14:05
Speaker 3: green bandwagon.
14:07
Speaker 5: Well, most of them are cowards. Most of them would
14:09
Speaker 5: not stand up to government as we used to have.
14:11
Speaker 5: Most of them followed the party line, and most of
14:14
Speaker 5: them were drinking the kool aid wanting a clean green planet.
14:19
Speaker 5: And the only business person who stood up was Geina
14:22
Speaker 5: E Reinhardt and still does and we now have business
14:25
Speaker 5: suffering as a result of them not standing up to
14:28
Speaker 5: government saying look, this is silly. This is going to
14:31
Speaker 5: cost jobs, this is going to cost our business. And
14:34
Speaker 5: we are having a record number of bankruptcies. We're having
14:36
Speaker 5: a record number of businesses closed down. And it's only
14:39
Speaker 5: just now that they're standing up. What's probably too late
14:42
Speaker 5: for most of them.
14:44
Speaker 3: Now let's talk about veteran AGL Energy executive who's just
14:48
Speaker 3: stepped down as a company's chief operating officer. Well, they've
14:51
Speaker 3: spoken out about the company's efforts to strike a balance
14:54
Speaker 3: between climate targets and energy security. Marcus broke Off told
15:00
Speaker 3: The Australian three or four years ago the pendulum was
15:03
Speaker 3: very much going in one direction in terms of ESG
15:07
Speaker 3: that's Environmental, social and governance framework. Now I think the
15:10
Speaker 3: focus is on what is achievable, and that's after he
15:15
Speaker 3: spent five years leading the electricity giants green transition in
15:20
Speaker 3: He also pulled cold water on major AGL shareholder Mike
15:24
Speaker 3: cannon Brooks demands that the company speed up its green
15:28
Speaker 3: energy roll out. But surely what is achievable should have
15:33
Speaker 3: been at the forefront of their thinking. How could that
15:38
Speaker 3: be an afterthought, after three or four years of going
15:41
Speaker 3: down this mad road, and then suddenly realizing, well, then
15:44
Speaker 3: what we've actually pledged to do isn't achievable.
15:48
Speaker 5: Well, when we had cheap, reliable electricity, we had governments
15:51
Speaker 5: mind the coal. We had government burn that coal to
15:54
Speaker 5: make steam to drive a turbine to generate electricity. The
15:57
Speaker 5: government's owned the power lines and the distribution networks. Governments
16:01
Speaker 5: went broke spending our money and spending too much of it,
16:05
Speaker 5: and so they sold off price assets, and they sold
16:08
Speaker 5: off bit by bit. So now we have AGL generating
16:12
Speaker 5: the electricity, but they don't control the power lines. And
16:15
Speaker 5: so the people controlling the power lines we've got to
16:17
Speaker 5: make a profit. The people distributing the power have to
16:19
Speaker 5: make a profit. That's pushed up the price of electricity.
16:22
Speaker 5: The second thing is that AGL only survives because of subsidies,
16:26
Speaker 5: and the high electricity prices actually help governments making the
16:32
Speaker 5: electricity prices high. And the third thing is AGL again
16:36
Speaker 5: have been drinking the kool aid. They've been putting in
16:38
Speaker 5: wind and solar in places which are prime agricultural land.
16:43
Speaker 5: The costs have gone up, and blind Freddie could have
16:46
Speaker 5: told them twenty five years ago that wind and solar
16:50
Speaker 5: have to live on subodays. They don't live on the
16:52
Speaker 5: wind and solar, they live on subsidies from the taxpayer,
16:56
Speaker 5: and that ultimately is going to end. And if I
16:58
Speaker 5: was a director of AGL, I would say, look, our
17:01
Speaker 5: job is to make money. Our job is not to
17:05
Speaker 5: please one active as shareholder Mike cannon brooks. Our job
17:09
Speaker 5: is to provide reliable electricity, which I'm sure the contract
17:13
Speaker 5: I had with the government originally said so. Their job
17:17
Speaker 5: is to provide reliable electricity, not necessarily cheap, and their
17:21
Speaker 5: jobs to give you a return to shareholders. Now, the
17:24
Speaker 5: great risks the AGL has are that a new government
17:27
Speaker 5: will say no more subsidies. And that's the risk they
17:30
Speaker 5: should have considered five years ago and should be hedging
17:33
Speaker 5: their bits and still generating gas and coal rather than
17:36
Speaker 5: shutting down cold.
17:37
Speaker 3: Well, there wasn't much hedging happening at all in the
17:40
Speaker 3: formation of these policies where you're looking at the government
17:44
Speaker 3: or even the corporate sector, profac the employment.
17:46
Speaker 2: Thank you so much for your time. Thank you still
17:48
Speaker 2: to come.
17:49
Speaker 3: Lefties Losing ad plus the latest from the US, including
17:53
Speaker 3: another example of leftist political violence.
17:56
Speaker 2: Josh Hammer is the details.
18:08
Speaker 3: You're watching the Reader Paney Show, and it's time for
18:11
Speaker 3: lefties losing it. And I'm afraid the miserable miscreens of
18:15
Speaker 3: the celebrity world have had a rough couple of days
18:19
Speaker 3: that have been railing against democracy again and uttering words
18:23
Speaker 3: they do not understand.
18:25
Speaker 2: Here is Jane Fonda.
18:26
Speaker 8: Our industry is ready to mobilize and to resist autocracy,
18:31
Speaker 8: to resist attacks on our fundamental freedoms. We're artists, we're creatives.
18:37
Speaker 8: Freedom of expression is essential to what we do. Many
18:42
Speaker 8: of our fathers and grandfathers fought wars to defend this
18:46
Speaker 8: right and we can't just sit back and let this happen.
18:51
Speaker 8: And it's moving fast. This isn't a creeping totalitarianism. This
18:56
Speaker 8: is fast moving consolidation of ATTOQ, and that means we
19:01
Speaker 8: have to move fast.
19:02
Speaker 2: You know what's not moving fast?
19:04
Speaker 3: Jane's space, Go easy with the fillers and the bobo lady,
19:08
Speaker 3: good lord. It's becoming difficult to tell a Madonna apart
19:11
Speaker 3: these days. And of course any celebrity spouting far left
19:15
Speaker 3: nonsense is given a platform to spew that on CNN.
19:19
Speaker 8: He has a massing power in a way that will
19:22
Speaker 8: destroy our democracy, and so we're going to stand up.
19:27
Speaker 8: We want to move forward with love, with unity, with solidarity,
19:31
Speaker 8: and we want to encourage everybody else and all the
19:35
Speaker 8: other sectors of this country to do the same. You know,
19:39
Speaker 8: we don't want to be a pillar of support to
19:41
Speaker 8: this regime that's forming.
19:43
Speaker 3: You know, these people really do exist in a parallel universe.
19:47
Speaker 3: Do they think the Hollywood mindset is the majority? Do
19:51
Speaker 3: they have no respect for democracy and the fact that
19:54
Speaker 3: Donald Trump is in power because he won an election
19:58
Speaker 3: in a landslide despite his opponent outspending him by a
20:01
Speaker 3: huge margin, now to another dim witted, hopelessly out of touch,
20:06
Speaker 3: aging celebrity who seems to think he speaks for the masses.
20:10
Speaker 3: Here is Hollywood has been a hysterical Hollywood has been
20:14
Speaker 3: claiming that Trump has a dark presence and he has
20:19
Speaker 3: destroyed America. Here is Richard Gere, Are.
20:22
Speaker 2: Worry about what's happening in the US?
20:24
Speaker 3: Are you worried?
20:25
Speaker 4: Of course?
20:27
Speaker 3: No?
20:27
Speaker 4: I mean this is we have a president who's completely
20:31
Speaker 4: is not only crazy, he's a dark, dark presence, and
20:36
Speaker 4: it's happened so quickly six months He's almost destroyed our country.
20:41
Speaker 3: Yes, secure borders and a return to manufacturing will destroy America.
20:47
Speaker 3: I guess we shouldn't be surprised because this is a
20:49
Speaker 3: sort of reckless, near Marxist activism we've come to expect
20:53
Speaker 3: from Richard Gere. Remember this, it's almost an ad for
20:57
Speaker 3: illegal immigration.
20:58
Speaker 2: Watch this people that you've seen here on this boots.
21:02
Speaker 4: They're only here because of the donations to OP and Arams,
21:07
Speaker 4: the work that often MS does.
21:10
Speaker 9: The most important thing for these people here is you'll
21:12
Speaker 9: be able to get to a free point, to be
21:16
Speaker 9: able to get off the votes, get on land and
21:18
Speaker 9: start a new life, taking care of and make a
21:21
Speaker 9: life for themselves.
21:23
Speaker 4: So support us.
21:25
Speaker 3: Here Now to the woman who wanted to be president
21:28
Speaker 3: but failed abysmally despite spending one point five billion dollars
21:33
Speaker 3: out spending Donald Trump by an enormous margin, only to lose, lose, lose.
21:38
Speaker 3: She lost the Electoral College by big margin, lost every
21:41
Speaker 3: swing state, even lost the popular vote. But somehow Kamala
21:46
Speaker 3: Harris is out there repeating a verifiable lie claiming that
21:51
Speaker 3: twenty twenty four was the closest presidential election of the
21:54
Speaker 3: century and Donald Trump does not have a mandate.
21:58
Speaker 2: She really is rather mad.
22:01
Speaker 10: And here's the other thing that is quite unprecedented, and
22:06
Speaker 10: it was the tightest, closest.
22:29
Speaker 2: Incredible.
22:30
Speaker 3: She knows that's a lie, and she keeps repeating it
22:34
Speaker 3: because Kamala thinks lefties are too dumb to know any better,
22:38
Speaker 3: or she's genuinely that ignorant herself. Now, I know a
22:42
Speaker 3: lot of you had high hopes for the new pope
22:44
Speaker 3: after the incessant leftist activism of his predecessor, But I
22:48
Speaker 3: tried to warn you Pope Leo is cut from the
22:51
Speaker 3: same cloth. At a time when Christians are being persecuted
22:55
Speaker 3: and slaughtered from Africa to Asia to the Middle East,
23:00
Speaker 3: Leo is blessing a block of ice in the name
23:03
Speaker 3: of climate justice. Joining me now is Newsweek's senior editor
23:19
Speaker 3: at Large and article three projects Inier Council.
23:22
Speaker 2: Josh Hammer.
23:23
Speaker 3: Josh, what do you make of that performance, Pope Leo
23:27
Speaker 3: engaging in the bizarre antiques of blessing blocks of eyes
23:32
Speaker 3: a glacier in the name of climate justice.
23:37
Speaker 11: Yeah, it's really quite beyond Parry on the one hand, Rida,
23:40
Speaker 11: on the other hand, this is sadly the kind of
23:42
Speaker 11: thing that we expect from many global leaders, including many
23:45
Speaker 11: many liberal popes. I mean this kind of thing that
23:47
Speaker 11: we certainly would expected from Pope Francis, I mean, who
23:50
Speaker 11: was about as loved as it gets. Unfortunately, I think
23:54
Speaker 11: I think many of us had higher expectations for Pope Leo.
23:57
Speaker 11: I mean, after all these the first American born pot
24:00
Speaker 11: from Chicago, maybe has some good old fashioned American Midwestern sensibility.
24:04
Speaker 11: But unfortunately, either what we've seen thus far has not
24:07
Speaker 11: exactly You've been particularly inspiring, has it been?
24:10
Speaker 2: You know?
24:10
Speaker 11: I think the irony is that when you think about
24:13
Speaker 11: Biblical religion, Judaism and Christianity, postism, the thoughts and whatever
24:17
Speaker 11: it is here. You know, in a lot of ways,
24:20
Speaker 11: the entire purpose of the introduction of monotheism to the
24:23
Speaker 11: world was to do away with the paganism of old.
24:26
Speaker 11: But really, if you think about it's so called climate change,
24:29
Speaker 11: the greeny radicalism, the global warring agenda, it's really just refashioned,
24:34
Speaker 11: repackaged paganism, because they're not actually worshiping the God in
24:38
Speaker 11: the heavens, are they? They're actually worshiping the earth, And
24:41
Speaker 11: they have all these weird rituals there. And you get
24:44
Speaker 11: expelled from being a member of good society for sinning,
24:47
Speaker 11: and you have to atone it had all of the
24:49
Speaker 11: basic elements of a religion. It's kind of just the
24:53
Speaker 11: perverse inversion of the religion. Once upon time, you would
24:56
Speaker 11: have expected, I don't know the pope. I mean, you
24:59
Speaker 11: would expect the pope to have to understand this right,
25:01
Speaker 11: but unfortunately that's not what this pope busesparing only and
25:04
Speaker 11: that makes you quite said.
25:08
Speaker 3: Yeah, the religious zealotry of the green movement is undeniable,
25:13
Speaker 3: and the way they treat their heretics is pretty clear
25:18
Speaker 3: to see as well that Pope Leo was speaking at
25:21
Speaker 3: a climate conference where he said we must listen to
25:24
Speaker 3: the cry of the earth. But he also passed comment
25:28
Speaker 3: on US domestic politics. He said this, He said, someone
25:31
Speaker 3: who says that I'm against abortion, but I'm in agreement
25:35
Speaker 3: with the inhuman treatment of immigrants in the United States,
25:39
Speaker 3: I don't know if that's pro life. Josh, you're a
25:43
Speaker 3: man of faith. How do you respond to those comments?
25:47
Speaker 11: Yeah, I'm so sick of all these ridiculous comments. You
25:50
Speaker 11: can't be pro life if you don't agree with me
25:52
Speaker 11: on some totally unrelated stands. Read a few months ago
25:55
Speaker 11: at the turning point in USA student Action summon in Tampa.
25:58
Speaker 11: I debated Dave Smith, libertarian provocateur, and he tried this
26:02
Speaker 11: same thing with the audience there. He said, you can't
26:04
Speaker 11: be pro life and simultaneously support to Israel's war against
26:07
Speaker 11: Hamas and Gaza. He actually got booed for saying that
26:10
Speaker 11: at the conference, and that was to the crowd's great credit.
26:13
Speaker 11: So too, I would boom Pope Leo, excuse me. If
26:17
Speaker 11: I saw him in person there would boo him in
26:18
Speaker 11: his face for sex as well. These things have nothing
26:21
Speaker 11: to do on their literally nothing. By the way, I
26:23
Speaker 11: would actually counter if you want to play this game,
26:25
Speaker 11: this is a very dumb game to play. But if you
26:27
Speaker 11: actually want to play this game, you want to go
26:29
Speaker 11: down the rabbit hole of saying that you're not pro
26:31
Speaker 11: life if you don't agree with my stance on immigration.
26:33
Speaker 11: I would challenge the Holy Father as saying the following,
26:37
Speaker 11: is it pro life to embolden and encourage the worst
26:41
Speaker 11: international human trafficking rings? The drug cartels, the Sinaloa cartel,
26:45
Speaker 11: El Jalisco, all the various cartels that are taking innocent
26:49
Speaker 11: women and children and young menzuela but often win and
26:51
Speaker 11: children and gang raping them and using them as mules
26:54
Speaker 11: for coyotes and gain them across the border in horrific,
26:57
Speaker 11: inhumane fashion. There Where is the justice in that? Where
27:00
Speaker 11: is the genusis one? Twenty seven? Men and woman are alike,
27:04
Speaker 11: are made in the image of God. Where is that?
27:05
Speaker 11: And that there? So you know, frankly, Rita, I think
27:08
Speaker 11: it's actually more prolite to support the nation state, to
27:10
Speaker 11: support borders there because traditionally speaking, when nations exist in
27:13
Speaker 11: secure borders, and crucially they respect each other sovereignty in
27:17
Speaker 11: each other's borders, that is the recipe for human dinity,
27:19
Speaker 11: which is kind of the quintessential pro life value.
27:21
Speaker 2: Josh.
27:21
Speaker 3: Sticking with religious leaders playing politics, let's hear from Chicago
27:25
Speaker 3: priest father Michael Felger attacking President Trump.
27:30
Speaker 12: The state of emergency is in America, not Chicago, and
27:35
Speaker 12: his birth from this president and his administration. Doctor King
27:39
Speaker 12: said he could not raise his voice against the violence
27:42
Speaker 12: of the oppressed without having first spoken clearly to the
27:46
Speaker 12: greater purveyor of violence his own country. And those are
27:51
Speaker 12: my words to you, mister Trump, before you dare speak
27:55
Speaker 12: about any violence in Chicago, look into your mirror and
28:00
Speaker 12: what the violence coming from the White House.
28:02
Speaker 3: Josh, the father there is a controversial figure, having faced
28:06
Speaker 3: a number of serious allegations in the past. But what
28:09
Speaker 3: do you make of his intervention in the politics in
28:14
Speaker 3: the US again with President Trump wanting to enforce law
28:18
Speaker 3: and order measures in Chicago and he's coming out and saying, no,
28:22
Speaker 3: the violence is actually emanating from the Oval Office.
28:28
Speaker 11: Well, first of all, I literally don't know what he's
28:30
Speaker 11: talking about. I mean, I'm not playing to be like
28:33
Speaker 11: I actually do not know what he's talking about. I mean,
28:36
Speaker 11: what is the alleged violence that is seeping out via
28:39
Speaker 11: some osmosis process out of sixteen hundred Pennsylvania Avenue. I mean,
28:44
Speaker 11: I'm pretty sure that the guy who killed my friend
28:47
Speaker 11: Charlie Kirk was a left wing fanatic. I'm pretty sure
28:49
Speaker 11: the guy that killed two Israeli Embussy staffers in Washington,
28:52
Speaker 11: c in May was a left wing fanatic. And on
28:54
Speaker 11: and on we go. The political violence in America right now,
28:57
Speaker 11: Rita is not coming from the Trump White House, is
28:59
Speaker 11: not coming from the j six serves, is not coming
29:02
Speaker 11: from conservatives in general. It is coming from the political left.
29:05
Speaker 11: Polling bears us out over and over and over and again.
29:07
Speaker 11: We see every poll that shows that left wingers increasingly
29:10
Speaker 11: say that speech is the same thing as violence, and
29:13
Speaker 11: that therefore, if speech is equiped with violence, and the
29:16
Speaker 11: proper response to speech that you don't like is not
29:18
Speaker 11: speech but violence, this is horrific. This is frankly how
29:21
Speaker 11: free societies die. So I literally don't know what he's
29:24
Speaker 11: talking about. He probably should look in a mirror. And
29:26
Speaker 11: I would also say to kind of go back to
29:28
Speaker 11: the whole religious thing here. Again, this is a preestis
29:30
Speaker 11: this is someone who I presume has read, has read
29:33
Speaker 11: the Bible there, Well, he's in Chicago, Well, he should
29:35
Speaker 11: probably be familiar with the Book of Jeremiah. Jeremiah chapter
29:38
Speaker 11: twenty nine famously exhorts individuals and says you should focus
29:41
Speaker 11: on the welfare of your own city, because there in
29:44
Speaker 11: your own city you shall find peace and you shall
29:47
Speaker 11: seek welfare. It's a federalist kind of exhortation. If you
29:52
Speaker 11: it is urging people to focus on your locality, on
29:55
Speaker 11: your own city. There, Well, this guy should be less
29:57
Speaker 11: focused on Washington, d c. And less focus on his
30:00
Speaker 11: alleged issues with the White House and focus a little
30:03
Speaker 11: more on his own backyard. I went to law school
30:05
Speaker 11: in Chicago, I lived there for three years. Let me
30:07
Speaker 11: tell you, south Side Chicago is a war zone. It
30:11
Speaker 11: is a veritable war zone. It is horrifically. I have
30:14
Speaker 11: not been back to the city in three and a
30:15
Speaker 11: half years. I'm not sure, Frank you when the next
30:17
Speaker 11: time I will go back is It's an absolute catastrophe.
30:20
Speaker 11: And if this guy wants to talk about violence, well
30:23
Speaker 11: I would encourage him to get out of whatever kind
30:25
Speaker 11: of tony upscale suburb he probably lives in, go to
30:28
Speaker 11: Southside Chicago and report back to US Chicago.
30:33
Speaker 3: You look at the crime rate there, Josh, it is
30:36
Speaker 3: just appalling. Every weekend there seems to be a spate
30:40
Speaker 3: of mass shootings, gang violence, innocent people being caught up.
30:45
Speaker 3: And for a priest to be grand standing on an
30:51
Speaker 3: anti Trump agenda, it just seems like he likes the
30:55
Speaker 3: cameras there a little bit too much. Now we featured
30:59
Speaker 3: earlier in the program, I mean left his celebrities losing
31:03
Speaker 3: their teeny tiny minds, from Richard gear to Ariana Grande
31:07
Speaker 3: to something called bad Bunny. Hollywood is not relenting one bit.
31:13
Speaker 3: They're happy to ignore or even condemn more than half
31:18
Speaker 3: the country. There's a real disconnect between the celebrity, media,
31:23
Speaker 3: class and reality.
31:25
Speaker 2: How sustainable is that, Josh.
31:28
Speaker 11: Well, it's not sustainable. I mean, at some point it's
31:31
Speaker 11: going to be a market correction, right, I mean, and
31:33
Speaker 11: this is this is how market forces work, is that
31:35
Speaker 11: when there are a lot of people demanding something and
31:36
Speaker 11: there's not supply, the naturally there's going to be some
31:38
Speaker 11: suppliers there. Now, there have been some folks. Reader, I
31:42
Speaker 11: think you and I are both big country music fans.
31:44
Speaker 11: You know, there have been some country music stars, for instance,
31:46
Speaker 11: we've kind of gone out of their way to try
31:47
Speaker 11: to console Erica Kirk, the widow of Charlie Kirk, Jason
31:50
Speaker 11: al Dean, Morgan Wallen, among others.
31:52
Speaker 9: There.
31:53
Speaker 11: So there's something of a counterculture in the music space.
31:56
Speaker 11: At least there's something of counterculture developing there. Certainly, the
31:59
Speaker 11: NFL has very much put its foot in its mouth,
32:01
Speaker 11: the National Football League in deciding that Bad Bunny is
32:04
Speaker 11: going to be the Super Bowl halftime show next year. Now,
32:08
Speaker 11: for what it's worth, I actually was pleasant surprised by
32:10
Speaker 11: Bad Bunny's cameo performance, and Happy Gilmour too when he
32:13
Speaker 11: was Adam Sandler's caddy. I thought that was kind of
32:15
Speaker 11: an enjoyable role for him there, But I don't like
32:17
Speaker 11: it when Bad Bunny opens his mouth about politics because
32:19
Speaker 11: he's typically preaching a vehementally anti ice, pro anarchy, anti
32:24
Speaker 11: law enforcement, anti nation state, frankly many ways his anti
32:27
Speaker 11: Western civilization message. So if the National Football League, which
32:30
Speaker 11: is by far America's most popular sport, if they're trying
32:34
Speaker 11: to find a unifying cultural figure, which is probably a
32:37
Speaker 11: good idea in a moment like a super Bowl, the
32:39
Speaker 11: most Washington in America, if not the whole world there,
32:43
Speaker 11: you probably want to find someone who's not going to
32:44
Speaker 11: alienate and tick off frankly half the country there. He's
32:48
Speaker 11: not a very good choice for that, is he?
32:49
Speaker 1: There?
32:50
Speaker 11: So a massive enforced ara by the National Football League.
32:52
Speaker 11: But you know, this is a sporting league that still
32:56
Speaker 11: has end racism and blazoned in the end zones as
32:59
Speaker 11: a throwback George Floyd are dearly departed martyr from the
33:02
Speaker 11: summer of twenty twenty. So they haven't really learned a
33:04
Speaker 11: whole lot of lessons now.
33:07
Speaker 3: No, they are slow learners and not only picking this activist,
33:12
Speaker 3: but it's an activist who is not exactly a household name.
33:16
Speaker 3: I don't think most football fans are going to be
33:19
Speaker 3: overly familiar with Bad Bunnies music. So it's supposed to
33:23
Speaker 3: be an honor that goes to the cream of the crop,
33:26
Speaker 3: the very best musicians in the industry, and this one
33:30
Speaker 3: is definitely a strange choice. Now we're talking about political
33:34
Speaker 3: violence before. Virginia's Democratic nominee for Attorney General, j Jones,
33:39
Speaker 3: is being backed by key Democrats despite his horrific text
33:44
Speaker 3: messages being exposed where he said just shocking things Josh.
33:48
Speaker 2: Including hoping former Republican.
33:51
Speaker 3: House Speaker Todd Gilbert's children would die, and he also
33:55
Speaker 3: said that such grief might be a good thing if
33:58
Speaker 3: it advanced his politics. This is just does when do
34:03
Speaker 3: you think you can't be shocked anymore?
34:05
Speaker 2: Even you're shocked, you.
34:08
Speaker 11: Know, I think Rita that a lot of folks on
34:11
Speaker 11: the left, when folks when we and the right, when
34:13
Speaker 11: we say that some folks on the left actually want
34:16
Speaker 11: us dead, like they literally want to kill us, A
34:19
Speaker 11: lot of them say, oh my god, what are you
34:21
Speaker 11: talking about? I mean, what kind of monsters do you
34:24
Speaker 11: think we are?
34:24
Speaker 1: There?
34:25
Speaker 11: Well, this is who we think you are. I mean,
34:27
Speaker 11: this is literally who we think you are. Is that
34:29
Speaker 11: is that people who have Freudian slips, or maybe it's
34:32
Speaker 11: not even a Freudian slip. Actually, maybe they're saying it
34:34
Speaker 11: on the opening for the simple reason they happen to
34:36
Speaker 11: believe it, that they actually want their political opponents to
34:40
Speaker 11: be dead. I mean, this is the natural consequence of
34:42
Speaker 11: a worldview that has no room to kind of get
34:44
Speaker 11: back to our earlier conversation for a biblical, godly worldview
34:48
Speaker 11: that has no room for the Genesis one twenty seven
34:51
Speaker 11: notion that we are all human beings made the image
34:53
Speaker 11: of God, that we all have human dignity and self worth,
34:55
Speaker 11: that we're entitled to have differences of opinions when it
34:58
Speaker 11: comes to taxation policy or or social credits or this
35:01
Speaker 11: or that.
35:02
Speaker 8: There.
35:02
Speaker 11: That doesn't mean that we deserve to die for our
35:04
Speaker 11: political views there. But when you forsake God and the
35:08
Speaker 11: transcendental and you also again equate speech with violence, you're
35:12
Speaker 11: going to get to a very very very unhealthy place there.
35:14
Speaker 11: This guy really, really really should get out of the race.
35:17
Speaker 11: I think the most appalling thing Rita, as we alluded to,
35:20
Speaker 11: is that I can't identify a single big name democratic
35:24
Speaker 11: figure who has encouraged him to do so. Yet that
35:27
Speaker 11: is really really troubling. Surely there is at least one
35:30
Speaker 11: at least one senior elder statesman in the Democratic Party
35:33
Speaker 11: who can look at this soberly and say, uh huh,
35:36
Speaker 11: that's not what we're about there. But thus far, Rita,
35:38
Speaker 11: that person has not yet arisen.
35:42
Speaker 13: Well.
35:42
Speaker 3: Virginia's Republican Lieutenant Governor Winsom Seas had this to say
35:46
Speaker 3: about Jay Jones and the Democrats hateful violent ritoric.
35:52
Speaker 10: The calls for hate and violence are coming from the
35:55
Speaker 10: mouths of the Democrat Party's leaders, and j. Jones is
36:02
Speaker 10: just the most recent and his wish for violent acts.
36:07
Speaker 2: The most clear.
36:09
Speaker 10: So if you can't solve a problem, you can't name it,
36:15
Speaker 10: but I will and here and now. The leadership of
36:20
Speaker 10: the Democrat Party has become consumed with hate.
36:25
Speaker 3: And when some Seas also called out the Democrat leadership
36:29
Speaker 3: who are also guilty of inciting violence.
36:33
Speaker 10: Try to name a Democrat leader who hasn't called the
36:37
Speaker 10: president Hitler. Try to name one who hasn't said Republicans
36:43
Speaker 10: and our policies are an existential threat to democracy. No,
36:49
Speaker 10: I am not saying Democrat leaders are committing violence.
36:53
Speaker 2: Although J.
36:54
Speaker 10: Jones fantasizes about murdering Republican children.
37:00
Speaker 3: Joshua, really haven't seen a change in tone from the
37:04
Speaker 3: left after the assassination attempts against Donald Trump, and even
37:09
Speaker 3: after the assassination of Charlie Kirk. They have continued with
37:14
Speaker 3: this retoric, labeling their political opponents fascists, threats to democracies,
37:19
Speaker 3: modern day Hitler's, knowing that their supporter base, certainly segments
37:26
Speaker 3: of it, are prone to acts of violence.
37:29
Speaker 11: Correct, And I think back to Pennsylvania. I think back
37:33
Speaker 11: to the Butler Pennsylvania July twenty twenty four, when Donald
37:36
Speaker 11: Trump moves his head a millimeter one direction and miraculously
37:40
Speaker 11: escapes and assassins bullets by literally millimeters there. And that
37:45
Speaker 11: wouldn't that, in theory, would have been the moment for
37:49
Speaker 11: the left to look in the mirror and to call
37:51
Speaker 11: out their own shark troops, the grassroots thugs, you know,
37:55
Speaker 11: the Antifa, street thug wing of the movement to the
37:57
Speaker 11: party and say this is enough, is enough already there.
38:01
Speaker 11: We are going to compete with Republicans. We're gonna compete
38:04
Speaker 11: with Trunk, compete with MAGA at the ballot box. When
38:06
Speaker 11: it comes to the battle of ideas in the battle
38:09
Speaker 11: of written op eds and videos whatever there, but we're
38:11
Speaker 11: not gonna get involved when it comes to knives and
38:14
Speaker 11: swords and rifles and bullets there. That would have been
38:17
Speaker 11: the moment there. They didn't do that. They literally did
38:19
Speaker 11: not do that. So I'm not the least bit surprised
38:21
Speaker 11: that they have not done that in the aftermath of
38:23
Speaker 11: Charlie Kirk's for a fake dout, because they've already shown
38:25
Speaker 11: they have no interest in doing so. More generally, Rita,
38:28
Speaker 11: I think back to the twenty twenty four election, just
38:30
Speaker 11: a few months after Donald Trump miraculously survived well, I
38:34
Speaker 11: guess both of the attentive sassations, especially the one in Butler, Pennsylvania.
38:36
Speaker 11: There and Democrats of course lost all seven swing states.
38:39
Speaker 11: They lost all the sun Belt swing states, all four
38:41
Speaker 11: of them, all three of the russ Belts swing states
38:43
Speaker 11: there now here we are coming up on one year
38:46
Speaker 11: after the November twenty twenty four general election. There, just
38:49
Speaker 11: as they have not changed their tune at all when
38:51
Speaker 11: it comes to political violence, have they learned a single
38:54
Speaker 11: substantive lesson when it comes to public policy? Have they
38:56
Speaker 11: actually changed their stance on a single issue of the
39:00
Speaker 11: various culture war issues that they've lost so badly that
39:03
Speaker 11: the ballot box on last November. When it comes to
39:06
Speaker 11: open borders and immigration, when it comes to transgenderism, when
39:08
Speaker 11: it comes to crime, when it comes to antifa, ice
39:11
Speaker 11: far from its Look at Portland's Oregon right now, the
39:14
Speaker 11: Portland police is literally not protecting federal facilities from anti
39:18
Speaker 11: ice anarchic protesters there.
39:20
Speaker 2: It's insane.
39:21
Speaker 11: They have learned absolutely nothing whatsoever in a lesson Until
39:24
Speaker 11: they do so, at best, they're going to keep on
39:27
Speaker 11: losing election after election. At worse, they're going to get
39:29
Speaker 11: more people killed.
39:32
Speaker 2: Josh Shamma, thank you so much for your time tonight.
39:35
Speaker 2: Thank you. Ed Still to come.
39:37
Speaker 3: All your royal and celebrity news, including some cringe content
39:41
Speaker 3: from Meghan markel kinseysco Field is up next. Welcome back. Now,
39:57
Speaker 3: let's have a look at Meghan mackl being weird and inauthentic.
40:01
Speaker 3: Here she is swanning around like she's Queen Circe and
40:04
Speaker 3: Game of Thrones.
40:05
Speaker 2: And let's have a look at this rather awkward encounter
40:09
Speaker 2: with Pierre palol Piccioli. He's the creative director of Balenciaga.
40:28
Speaker 2: Oh yes, that was awkward. Let's have another look at it.
40:39
Speaker 3: Let's bring in celebrity and royal commentator Kinsey Schofield.
40:42
Speaker 2: Kinsey Megan Markle has.
40:44
Speaker 3: Come under fire for attending the Blenciaga fashion show after
40:49
Speaker 3: the brand sustained enormous reputational damage for producing disturbing ads
40:55
Speaker 3: featuring children.
40:57
Speaker 2: What do you make of this whole saga?
41:01
Speaker 13: I mean, yeah, the children were posed with teddy Bears
41:04
Speaker 13: dressed in bondage style gear. It was predatory. And Megan
41:10
Speaker 13: Markle is accepting an award as Humanitarian of the Year
41:13
Speaker 13: on Thursday for protecting children online. She shouldn't be promoting
41:17
Speaker 13: a brand accused of predatory behavior. How are you protecting
41:20
Speaker 13: children when you were promoting a brand that was accused
41:23
Speaker 13: of an appropriate behavior towards them. And it wasn't just
41:26
Speaker 13: the teddy Bear ad there was another. Their spring twenty
41:30
Speaker 13: twenty three campaign included props referencing a US Supreme Court
41:34
Speaker 13: case on images of minors, along with disturbing artwork and books.
41:38
Speaker 13: So I think you know to promote this, this brand
41:42
Speaker 13: that combines children with adult fames, who is guiding this woman,
41:49
Speaker 13: who is working with this woman? Because you certainly wouldn't
41:52
Speaker 13: see the Princess of Wales engaging with any company accused
41:55
Speaker 13: of such behavior.
41:59
Speaker 2: No, and it just a.
42:00
Speaker 3: Simple Google search would have told her just how controversial
42:04
Speaker 3: and divisive this brand is.
42:08
Speaker 2: Even people who are very.
42:10
Speaker 3: Fashioned forward were disturbed by that ad campaign and precisely
42:16
Speaker 3: what they were trying to communicate with those images. Now,
42:19
Speaker 3: the Duchess of Sussex is also facing a backlash or
42:22
Speaker 3: posting a video of herself.
42:24
Speaker 2: Riding in a limo with her feet up near the.
42:27
Speaker 3: Prisian Tunnel where Princess Diana died. Kinsey, is that criticism
42:33
Speaker 3: a little bit unfair?
42:35
Speaker 13: Look, this is the same woman that tells us she's
42:38
Speaker 13: Diana two point zero. Shouldn't she be aware of something
42:42
Speaker 13: like this? Also, this is the same town that her
42:46
Speaker 13: mother in law passed away in. Prince Harry says it
42:49
Speaker 13: was due to paparazzi and Megan's literally cheasing these flashbulbs
42:53
Speaker 13: throughout the city and then you know she's one mile
42:57
Speaker 13: away in that video from where Princess Diana, you know,
43:01
Speaker 13: had her last breath, lost her life. I think it
43:05
Speaker 13: is insensitive and I think she tries to sell us
43:07
Speaker 13: on the fact that she, you know, is so compassionate
43:11
Speaker 13: so empathetic. She takes the everyday things and makes them
43:15
Speaker 13: special because she just it puts that much more thought
43:18
Speaker 13: into it. Well, how about having some thought towards your
43:21
Speaker 13: husband's feelings when you're in the same city his mom
43:24
Speaker 13: died in running around having a joy ride in Paris,
43:29
Speaker 13: near where she lost her life. If she didn't try
43:33
Speaker 13: to paint herself as Diana two point zero, I would say, like,
43:36
Speaker 13: you guys, this is a stretch. Yeah, but she's constantly
43:39
Speaker 13: telling us that she's the new Diana Kinsey.
43:44
Speaker 2: I think you may be right.
43:45
Speaker 3: Megan Michael is gonna love this week. All eyes will
43:48
Speaker 3: be on her. She had the weird white outfit, she
43:51
Speaker 3: had the sexy black backless outfit, and I think she's
43:55
Speaker 3: enjoying the attention.
43:56
Speaker 2: Now, let's talk about Nicole Kidman.
43:58
Speaker 3: She's made her first public appears instance filing for divorce
44:01
Speaker 3: from Keith Urban, presenting Taylor Sheridan, the executive producer of
44:05
Speaker 3: Kidman's new TV series Lines, with the Award of Inspiration.
44:10
Speaker 3: This was at a benefit in Dallas which was raising
44:13
Speaker 3: money for AIDS research.
44:15
Speaker 2: Kinsey.
44:15
Speaker 3: She made a point during that speech about the importance
44:19
Speaker 3: of looking out for each other.
44:22
Speaker 13: All I can say is like she's coming out of
44:25
Speaker 13: this situation looking very clean, right, I mean Nicole, Nicole Kindman.
44:30
Speaker 13: She continues to show remarkable courage and resilience even in
44:34
Speaker 13: the face of another divorce, a high profile divorce. I
44:37
Speaker 13: think the audience recognizes her tireless worth work, ethic, and
44:41
Speaker 13: the dedication she has to her craft. She's not only
44:45
Speaker 13: thriving professionally, but proving that she has the strength and
44:48
Speaker 13: talent to navigate these types of personal challenges. Meanwhile, you're
44:53
Speaker 13: seeing these rumors circulating online. I'm seeing these rumors circulating online,
44:57
Speaker 13: a lot of negative reaction to kee Urban and you know,
45:02
Speaker 13: I think she's going to come out on top of here.
45:07
Speaker 3: Well, yes, I think she came out clean out of
45:10
Speaker 3: the Tom Cruise divorce as well. The sympathy was with her,
45:14
Speaker 3: and if Keith has already moved on with a new woman,
45:16
Speaker 3: then yes, of course Nicole's going to win the sympathy there.
45:20
Speaker 3: Now it seems the rumored romance between Katy Perry and
45:24
Speaker 3: Justin Trudeau is getting serious.
45:26
Speaker 2: We're now hearing details.
45:27
Speaker 3: Of late night phone calls and thlirty text messages with
45:31
Speaker 3: a source close to Katy Perry revealing that Katie is very,
45:35
Speaker 3: very interested in him. She says he's a real catch,
45:39
Speaker 3: a high quality guy. Does that sound like a genuine
45:42
Speaker 3: source to you, Kinsey?
45:45
Speaker 13: Is it opposite day? Is it opposite day?
45:47
Speaker 2: Who are you talking to?
45:49
Speaker 13: The Daily Mail? They said that they chat about their kids,
45:52
Speaker 13: their day to day lives, and hope to spend more
45:54
Speaker 13: time together once her tour schedule eases up. The same
45:58
Speaker 13: insider said that d Perry really does lay him a lot,
46:02
Speaker 13: and that their connection remains strong. I mean, what these
46:05
Speaker 13: two must talk about, for the love of God, I'm curious,
46:10
Speaker 13: But you know, some might say that their relationship is
46:13
Speaker 13: out of this world because she's an astronaut. So we'll
46:16
Speaker 13: have to wait and see when they finally come out.
46:21
Speaker 2: Yes, I forgot that she's an astronaut.
46:23
Speaker 3: That was about little period, wasn't it. Now she changed
46:28
Speaker 3: the world. Jane Fonda has revived the Committee for the
46:33
Speaker 3: First Amendment, a cold worled era activist group founded by
46:38
Speaker 3: her father, Henry and other Hollywood legends when they were
46:41
Speaker 3: allegedly being silenced by McCarthy. These clowns have paranoid delusions,
46:49
Speaker 3: Kinsey about being targeted by Trump.
46:52
Speaker 2: Hollywood is completely.
46:54
Speaker 3: Controlled by the left, so much so that any dissenting
46:57
Speaker 3: voice pays a very heavy price. Indeed, and really that's
47:01
Speaker 3: the real McCarthyism, isn't it.
47:04
Speaker 13: Amen, I mean celebrity. What I would love to stress
47:07
Speaker 13: is celebrities and Hollywood do not care about the First
47:11
Speaker 13: Amendment for normies. They only care when it affects one
47:15
Speaker 13: of their own. This campaign is so disingenuous. If this
47:19
Speaker 13: would have happened after the assassination of Charlie Kirk, I
47:22
Speaker 13: would have been like, wow, thank you. Somebody was shot
47:26
Speaker 13: in the throat because someone else didn't like what they
47:28
Speaker 13: were saying and they took away their opportunity to speak.
47:31
Speaker 13: But Jimmy Kimmel was putting time out guys for just
47:34
Speaker 13: a couple of days. You know, I doubt he missed
47:36
Speaker 13: a meal. So you just look at this and go
47:39
Speaker 13: get a life.
47:40
Speaker 3: Jane Fonda, and he was put out because he said
47:46
Speaker 3: something that was a lie and refused to apologize, was
47:49
Speaker 3: going to double down, and it was a private company
47:52
Speaker 3: making that decision.
47:53
Speaker 2: And so this victim playing is just out off hand.
47:57
Speaker 3: Now I've got to just do a little bit of
47:59
Speaker 3: Tyler Swift and Travis Kelsey Let's have a look at
48:01
Speaker 3: the NFL star arriving at Arrowhead Stadium for a recent game,
48:06
Speaker 3: looking like an utter cringe clown love.
48:19
Speaker 2: Oh dear Kinsey.
48:21
Speaker 3: Taylor Swift's twelfth studio album, The Life of a Show Girl,
48:25
Speaker 3: is getting panned online.
48:27
Speaker 2: This is very unusual.
48:28
Speaker 3: Even some Swifties have called it her worst album.
48:33
Speaker 2: You're a fan, what do you think.
48:35
Speaker 13: I don't think it's her best. It's not my favorite,
48:38
Speaker 13: but you've said it a million times like we love
48:40
Speaker 13: when Taylor's mad, We love when Taylor's bitter, and that's
48:43
Speaker 13: not the place she's out in her life right now.
48:45
Speaker 13: We need a break up album, is what I'm trying
48:47
Speaker 13: to say. Sorry, but you've seen the shorts.
48:50
Speaker 2: Oh we can't have that. She's just got engaged.
48:54
Speaker 3: We may have to just wait five to seven years
48:57
Speaker 3: for this marriage to play out and then we'll get
48:59
Speaker 3: the killer album. Kinsy's go Field. Thanks so much for
49:03
Speaker 3: your time. That's it for me. But before I go,
49:06
Speaker 3: Sky News will be screening a documentary called October eight
49:10
Speaker 3: this Wednesday, which looks at the rise of anti Semitism
49:13
Speaker 3: in the aftermath of the October seven attack two years ago.
49:17
Speaker 3: I'll see you tomorrow at eleven up. Next it's Newsnight.
