Speaker 2: This is the Wader Panalty Show.
0:09
Speaker 3: Good evening and welcome to the Riata Patney Show. Coming
0:12
Speaker 3: up tonight, Victoria's crime crisis deepened with a disturbing increase
0:17
Speaker 3: in violent home invasions. Dan Wild will be here to
0:20
Speaker 3: discuss that and the day's top headlines. Transactors cause mayhem
0:25
Speaker 3: in Melbourne again clashing with police and trying to silence
0:28
Speaker 3: women's rights protesters.
0:30
Speaker 1: Rachel Wong will waiting on that.
0:32
Speaker 3: The Great Josh Hammer will have the latest from the US,
0:35
Speaker 3: including James Comey's latest stunt, and later in the al
0:39
Speaker 3: kinsisco Field will bring us royal and celebrity news and
0:44
Speaker 3: Left Is Losing It features not only Kamala but also
0:47
Speaker 3: Kamala Harris's stepdaughter.
0:50
Speaker 4: I experienced a lot of claiming anxiety, like a lot
0:53
Speaker 4: lets do It's not funny.
0:56
Speaker 3: For first, Victorians are increasingly on edge as the state's
1:00
Speaker 3: crime crisis continues to worsen. Violent crime is on the rise,
1:05
Speaker 3: with a one hundred and thirty percent increase in aggravated
1:09
Speaker 3: home invasions in the past ten years. We're now averaging
1:13
Speaker 3: seventeen per day, seventeen aggravated home invasions a day. Let's
1:19
Speaker 3: have a look at one of these horrific incidents and
1:22
Speaker 3: a warning. The following footage is graphic and disturbing.
1:26
Speaker 5: After answering the front door, comes a scream of terror.
1:32
Speaker 5: Then the first of five attackers can be seen swinging
1:35
Speaker 5: a hammer at the sixty year old victim as he
1:38
Speaker 5: cowers on the floor. A second intruder starts stabbing the man,
1:44
Speaker 5: and a third wanders in with a handgun. What follows
1:47
Speaker 5: is much worse, too horrific to show. Until today, we'd
1:53
Speaker 5: only seen the aftermath of this animalistic attack at Gladstone
1:57
Speaker 5: Park last month and the victim, Kamal aarkubulard bloodied and
2:01
Speaker 5: bruised in hospital, but now it's clear he was lucky
2:05
Speaker 5: to survive.
2:07
Speaker 3: There was another horrific attack on Sunday, and aggravated home
2:11
Speaker 3: invasion in the suburb of q And Melbourne that left
2:15
Speaker 3: a thirty nine year old father of two suffering eleven
2:18
Speaker 3: stab wounds as he tried to fight off a machete
2:22
Speaker 3: wielding group of thugs. Let's bring in the Deputy Executive
2:26
Speaker 3: director of the Institute of Public Affairs, Dan Wild. Dan,
2:29
Speaker 3: these are horrific acts of violence. And they are becoming
2:34
Speaker 3: all too common in Victoria.
2:38
Speaker 6: Well that's right.
2:39
Speaker 2: They were described as animalistic and I think that's a
2:41
Speaker 2: pretty fair description of these attacks, and they are becoming
2:44
Speaker 2: more frequent. And one of the reasons for this is
2:47
Speaker 2: the government here in Victoria simply is not interested in
2:51
Speaker 2: doing the things that needs to be done to get
2:53
Speaker 2: violent crime down. We know what works, which is more
2:56
Speaker 2: cops on the beat and tougher penalties for those who
3:00
Speaker 2: the law. We've seen it in Queensland where it's worked,
3:03
Speaker 2: where the L and P government in Queensland has invested
3:06
Speaker 2: in police, they have invested in the justice system and
3:09
Speaker 2: they have got many measures of violent crime down. So yes,
3:13
Speaker 2: there's always going to be crime with us, you know,
3:15
Speaker 2: sadly and tragically.
3:16
Speaker 6: But you know, the simple reality.
3:18
Speaker 2: Is that crime can be brought down by a government
3:21
Speaker 2: that wants to bring crime down, and the gin To
3:23
Speaker 2: Allen government just does not want to do that.
3:27
Speaker 3: Now, a newspoll has shown that fifty seven percent of
3:30
Speaker 3: voters believe increasing or introducing new taxes is the worst
3:35
Speaker 3: way for the government to balance the budget. This comes
3:38
Speaker 3: as the Productivity Commission is set to declare that carbon
3:41
Speaker 3: and cash flow taxes are the most efficient ways to
3:45
Speaker 3: future proof Australia's economy. At the same time, the pro
3:48
Speaker 3: Productivity Commission chairwoman Daniel Wood has also worn that red
3:53
Speaker 3: tape hair balls are choking economic growth and that an
3:57
Speaker 3: overhaul of the company tax structure is needed.
4:01
Speaker 1: Dan, what do you make of these developments?
4:06
Speaker 2: Well, you know, the Productivity Commission's got one right and
4:08
Speaker 2: one wrong. They're right about the red tape and the
4:11
Speaker 2: overregulation of our economy and that must be cut.
4:14
Speaker 6: And we've known that for many years. I mean, we've
4:16
Speaker 6: estimated that the.
4:17
Speaker 2: Cost of red tape it is about one hundred and
4:19
Speaker 2: seventy six billion every single year to the Australian economy,
4:22
Speaker 2: which is about eight percent of our total GDP. But
4:26
Speaker 2: the idea that increasing taxes and implementing new taxes is
4:31
Speaker 2: going to grow the economy and increase productivity is just
4:34
Speaker 2: so wrong. We don't need more taxes, we don't need
4:37
Speaker 2: higher taxes. We need two things. We need our government
4:40
Speaker 2: to introduce spending restraint so that the growth of spending
4:44
Speaker 2: is lower than the growth of the economy, which means
4:46
Speaker 2: that the economy can pay for the services that we have.
4:49
Speaker 2: And secondly, the economy needs to get bigger. If we
4:51
Speaker 2: have a bigger economy, there'll be more revenue without having
4:54
Speaker 2: to introduce new taxes or increase rates. But sadly, this
4:57
Speaker 2: so called Productivity Roundtable is not going to recommend and
5:02
Speaker 2: recommend anything that's going to get our economy going.
5:07
Speaker 3: Now, I want to play you a clip from Redbridge
5:10
Speaker 3: polster and strategist cos Samaras.
5:13
Speaker 1: He explains here that eighty.
5:15
Speaker 3: Five percent of Indian Australians vote for the Labor Party
5:19
Speaker 3: or voted for Labor at the last election.
5:23
Speaker 7: Eighty five percent of the Indiandia aspria voted for the
5:26
Speaker 7: Lab Party at the last election thereabouts, varies across the country.
5:31
Speaker 8: What was the number, sorry, cause about only five percent?
5:36
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm glad he asked for clarification because that is
5:39
Speaker 3: an incredible figure. Dan, If that is accurate, it has
5:44
Speaker 3: huge economic and cultural consequences with this country. That is
5:48
Speaker 3: not an insignificant population in Australia.
5:53
Speaker 2: Well, that's right, you know, you've got to take these
5:55
Speaker 2: figures with a grain of salt. I think Coosamaras said
5:57
Speaker 2: that the Voice the No campaign for the Voice would
6:00
Speaker 2: never win, So you've always got to just you know
6:02
Speaker 2: set through these figures a little bit, but I suspect
6:05
Speaker 2: that was a prediction.
6:06
Speaker 9: This is.
6:09
Speaker 1: Well, that was a prediction and it was very wrong.
6:11
Speaker 3: And we know cos Samarius is as a labor man,
6:14
Speaker 3: so the politics there is clear.
6:16
Speaker 1: But he said that happened.
6:18
Speaker 3: At the last election that eighty five percent I think
6:21
Speaker 3: was the figure around there voted for labor. And the
6:26
Speaker 3: Indian Australian population is close to a million people.
6:29
Speaker 1: That is huge, and we are importing obviously enormous numbers.
6:35
Speaker 3: Our migration levels are still very high, and I don't
6:40
Speaker 3: think we've really thought through the consequences of that. If
6:43
Speaker 3: those figures are.
6:43
Speaker 2: Accurate, yeah, that's right, and even if they're not spot on,
6:48
Speaker 2: they're definitely directionally true. And I think there's a couple
6:52
Speaker 2: of things here when I could talk, you know, from
6:54
Speaker 2: experience as a candidate in an electorate where there were
6:57
Speaker 2: a lot of Indian community there and the reality is
7:00
Speaker 2: that they're not left wing or right wing. They're proud
7:03
Speaker 2: to be Australian, most of them. And this is something
7:05
Speaker 2: that the Liberal Party needs to understand, is that whether
7:07
Speaker 2: we're talking about this particular you know, migrant community or others,
7:10
Speaker 2: most of them are socially conservative. Most of them voted
7:13
Speaker 2: knows exactly Parliament because they've come from They've come from
7:16
Speaker 2: countries which are divided on race, and they don't want
7:19
Speaker 2: to be divided on race.
7:20
Speaker 6: They're proud of Australia.
7:21
Speaker 2: One of the best days of their lives is when
7:22
Speaker 2: they become an Australian citizen on Australia Day. Many of
7:25
Speaker 2: them have small businesses and they want their families to
7:28
Speaker 2: have a better life.
7:29
Speaker 6: Well, that speaks to what the Liberal Party should be.
7:32
Speaker 2: So the step number one is just to talk to
7:34
Speaker 2: different migrant communities about what it is that we believe in,
7:39
Speaker 2: rather than trying to be a pale imitation of the
7:41
Speaker 2: Labor Party, which just never works.
7:44
Speaker 3: It's such a missed opportunity for the Liberal Party here
7:47
Speaker 3: because you're right, these migrant communities are overwhelmingly socially conservative.
7:52
Speaker 1: If the Liberal Party was just.
7:54
Speaker 3: A little bit braver in fighting what it's called the
7:57
Speaker 3: so called culture wars, it would win across a lot
8:00
Speaker 3: of these voters.
8:01
Speaker 1: They're also aspirational.
8:02
Speaker 3: They want to work hard and build economic security for
8:08
Speaker 3: themselves and their families, and again that is a fertile
8:12
Speaker 3: ground for the Liberals. To bring them across to their side,
8:16
Speaker 3: but they're too scared to fight those battles. We've seen
8:19
Speaker 3: Donald Trump in America assemble an enormous coalition of ethnic voters,
8:24
Speaker 3: from Asian voters to Hispanic voters, and very different story here. Now,
8:29
Speaker 3: I want to ask you about some research the Institute
8:31
Speaker 3: of Public Affairs has conducted. You've released a poll showing
8:35
Speaker 3: that seventy seven percent of Australians either agree with or
8:38
Speaker 3: strongly agree with the notion that burning the Australian flag
8:43
Speaker 3: should be against the law.
8:45
Speaker 1: What more can you tell me about this polling?
8:50
Speaker 6: Yeah? Thanks, Rina.
8:51
Speaker 2: Well, we're just talking about the flag and you know,
8:53
Speaker 2: I think there's really a line in the sand moment
8:55
Speaker 2: for the Australian community. As we've seen the desecration of
8:57
Speaker 2: our flag by PALLASI activists and others. We've seen attempts
9:02
Speaker 2: to continue to tear down our national Day. You know,
9:05
Speaker 2: here in Melbourne they want to get rid of Captain
9:07
Speaker 2: Cook Cottage. We've got an education system that unfortunately is
9:10
Speaker 2: teaching the next generation that Australia is a bad country
9:13
Speaker 2: to be ashamed of. Australians want political leadership and they
9:17
Speaker 2: want our political leaders to stand up and defend mainstream
9:20
Speaker 2: Australian values which are embodied in the national flag.
9:24
Speaker 6: And you know there's some.
9:24
Speaker 2: People who say, oh, well a flag is just a
9:27
Speaker 2: piece of fabric with color.
9:28
Speaker 6: Well wrong.
9:29
Speaker 2: It represents our shared values. Is the flag under which
9:32
Speaker 2: something like one hundred thousand ex servicemen and women have
9:35
Speaker 2: died fighting under. And like I say, there is deep
9:40
Speaker 2: resentment in the community that there's a.
9:42
Speaker 6: Two tiered system that we live in.
9:43
Speaker 2: I mean, can you imagine if someone was burning the
9:45
Speaker 2: Palestinian flag or the Aboriginal flag, imagine what would be
9:49
Speaker 2: done to them. But if you burn the Australian flag,
9:51
Speaker 2: apparently there is a free pass. So you know, Australian's
9:54
Speaker 2: had a gupful of this two tiered system and they
9:56
Speaker 2: want political leaders that will back our flag.
10:00
Speaker 3: Or there are so many on the left who are
10:02
Speaker 3: triggered by the Australian flag. If someone is waiving it proudly,
10:07
Speaker 3: they see it almost as a sign of aggression or
10:10
Speaker 3: some sort of celebration of white supremacy. It is so
10:13
Speaker 3: bizarre because it's the only flag we have in this
10:15
Speaker 3: country that represents.
10:17
Speaker 1: All of us. I'd love to.
10:18
Speaker 3: See Dan some research into how much support there is
10:22
Speaker 3: to have just one flag instead of having the Prime
10:25
Speaker 3: Minister have three flags behind him.
10:31
Speaker 6: Well, exactly right.
10:32
Speaker 2: I mean, we have done that research and the majority
10:34
Speaker 2: support the one flag, just as they support the idea
10:38
Speaker 2: that we should be seeing in the national anthem at schools,
10:40
Speaker 2: which was another question that we asked, which is a
10:42
Speaker 2: strong majority said yes, let's have one flag and sing
10:45
Speaker 2: the anthem and look not to do it in an
10:46
Speaker 2: obnoxious way or a jingoistic way, but again to unite us.
10:51
Speaker 6: Australians know that we are more.
10:53
Speaker 2: Divided today than at any time since World War Two,
10:56
Speaker 2: and that is why we need to have our shared
10:58
Speaker 2: symbols as a central part of our civic life, because
11:01
Speaker 2: that's the only way we're going to get through.
11:03
Speaker 6: This is a country.
11:05
Speaker 3: Do you say the coalition, particularly the Liberal Party, looking
11:09
Speaker 3: at this starter, recognizing the opportunity presents and strongly backing.
11:15
Speaker 1: Those positions, because there really is no.
11:17
Speaker 3: Mainstream political force in this country right now that is
11:21
Speaker 3: saying these things. You've got one nation, I guess on
11:24
Speaker 3: one hand, but one nation is not a main player.
11:28
Speaker 3: But you need to have either the Coalition or Labor
11:32
Speaker 3: back these positions. Can you see that happening because we've
11:36
Speaker 3: got a great many number of Australians who don't seem
11:40
Speaker 3: to have their values represented within our political class right now.
11:46
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's a great question.
11:47
Speaker 2: At the leadership level and of the sort of party
11:50
Speaker 2: apparachic level, they don't get it. There are individuals who
11:53
Speaker 2: do get it. Andrew Hasty has his Together under One
11:56
Speaker 2: Flag campaign. Phil Thompson who's the Member for Herbert around Townsville,
12:00
Speaker 2: he's got an emotion he's putting into Parliament soon to
12:04
Speaker 2: criminalize the burning of the flag. So some individuals get it,
12:07
Speaker 2: but as a structure they don't get it. They don't
12:10
Speaker 2: understand that Australians care deeply about the culture and our
12:13
Speaker 2: way of life. Now I'm not saying that that's the
12:15
Speaker 2: only issue that they're going to vote on, but it
12:18
Speaker 2: is a key way of opening a door to a
12:20
Speaker 2: conversation with a whole range of voters that otherwise would
12:23
Speaker 2: not be open to the Liberal Party. They completely bottled
12:26
Speaker 2: the Voice to Parliament. They never talked about the Voice
12:29
Speaker 2: throughout the entire election campaign, the last federal election campaign.
12:32
Speaker 2: So look sadly, I don't think at the apparachic level,
12:36
Speaker 2: I just don't think they get it at that level.
12:37
Speaker 2: They dismiss it as a culture war on a side
12:39
Speaker 2: show that just don't understand it.
12:42
Speaker 1: The Liberal Party need leadership change. I know they've just
12:45
Speaker 1: had one, but they need one if they actually want
12:48
Speaker 1: to be electable.
12:49
Speaker 3: Before you go Queensland, Lexi Brand, an occupational therapy student,
12:54
Speaker 3: has just won Miss Universe Australia here in Perth. She's
12:59
Speaker 3: going to represent the nation at the global pageant in
13:02
Speaker 3: Thailand later in the year. Dan, I've spent a bit
13:05
Speaker 3: of time with the girls, including Lexi this week. I
13:08
Speaker 3: think they're very impressive. But I have to ask you,
13:11
Speaker 3: is there a place for beauty pageants in this woke
13:14
Speaker 3: world we live in?
13:17
Speaker 6: Look? I think there is. I think it's a breath
13:19
Speaker 6: of fresh air.
13:21
Speaker 2: Good on this lady for having one that I hope
13:23
Speaker 2: she goes on and wins the world title or Miss Universe.
13:27
Speaker 2: And look, you're always going to have some of the
13:29
Speaker 2: woke brigade that sort of criticizes it. And Look, I
13:32
Speaker 2: think most Australians would just see this as you know,
13:35
Speaker 2: women who want to put their.
13:36
Speaker 6: Put themselves forward in this capacity.
13:38
Speaker 2: And I know there's always you know, philanthropic components of
13:41
Speaker 2: this as well, which are always well received, so I
13:43
Speaker 2: think good on them and all the best for the
13:45
Speaker 2: world competition.
13:48
Speaker 3: Well, the girls raise more than six hundred thousand dollars
13:50
Speaker 3: for charity, so they've certainly done good work, and Dan Wild,
13:53
Speaker 3: thank you so much for your time tonight now. Hundreds
13:56
Speaker 3: of police officers were deployed in Melbourne, CBD over the
13:59
Speaker 3: weekend and to stop extreme pro trans protesters from terrorizing
14:04
Speaker 3: a peaceful let Women Speak rally on Spring Street. While
14:08
Speaker 3: the women's rights protesters were listening to speeches and holding signs,
14:12
Speaker 3: the pro transactivists dressed in black and with their faces
14:16
Speaker 3: covered well. They were hurling abusive police and throwing projectiles
14:20
Speaker 3: at the officers.
14:23
Speaker 10: Plain The only confrontation was with officers.
14:32
Speaker 1: Three police were injured in clashes with activists.
14:35
Speaker 6: Four people were arrested for assaulting police or failing to
14:38
Speaker 6: move on. Two people had flares confiscated.
14:43
Speaker 3: Four protesters arrested, all of them from the pro trans group.
14:56
Speaker 1: Joining me now is.
14:57
Speaker 3: Women's Forum Australia CEO Wong Rachel. This was supposed to
15:02
Speaker 3: be a woman's rights rally, but the transactivists the counter
15:06
Speaker 3: protesters went to some astonishing lengths to stop the women
15:10
Speaker 3: from speaking and then to stop the crowd from listening.
15:15
Speaker 11: Great, join you reader, that's right. This was a rally
15:18
Speaker 11: for women to raise legitimate concerns about the harmful impact
15:21
Speaker 11: of gender ideology on our society, especially on women's sex
15:23
Speaker 11: based rights and the health of well and the health
15:25
Speaker 11: and well.
15:25
Speaker 8: Being of children.
15:27
Speaker 11: But it has become a disturbing feature of such rallies
15:29
Speaker 11: around the world, and especially in Melbourne. It seems that
15:32
Speaker 11: violent men turn up to intimidate these women into silence.
15:36
Speaker 11: And these the men who want men who claim to
15:38
Speaker 11: be women to have unfittered access to female only spaces,
15:40
Speaker 11: services and sports. Now, thankfully the police is an excellent
15:44
Speaker 11: job at protecting these women, but it's disgraceful that they
15:47
Speaker 11: were attacked in the process, and it's shameful that in
15:50
Speaker 11: Australia in twenty twenty five, such a huge police presence
15:53
Speaker 11: as needed to protect women peacefully speaking about their rights.
15:57
Speaker 1: Equally disgraceful is the lack.
15:58
Speaker 11: Of condemnation from the victory in government, especially government. Last
16:02
Speaker 11: week Premierison to Alan was saying that we need to
16:05
Speaker 11: have generadiology in skills because of the need to combat
16:09
Speaker 11: violence against women. Well this is a latant example of
16:13
Speaker 11: violence being waged against women.
16:15
Speaker 8: So where is the premier now?
16:18
Speaker 1: So very good point.
16:19
Speaker 3: She has failed to speak out against this violence. It's
16:23
Speaker 3: women wanting to speak or are being intimidated being silenced,
16:28
Speaker 3: and we hear nothing. And never mind the police resources,
16:32
Speaker 3: the number of officers who were required to keep those
16:36
Speaker 3: trans protesters from the women. And if you do fear,
16:39
Speaker 3: what would have happened if they weren't there.
16:42
Speaker 1: And we've had.
16:43
Speaker 3: Some controversial speakers come to Melbourne who've been given bills
16:47
Speaker 3: of fifty sixty thousand dollars from the police, and yet
16:51
Speaker 3: these transactivists can cause this mayhem and the.
16:55
Speaker 1: Taxpayer picks up the bill.
16:56
Speaker 3: But I want to move on to transgender footballer Hannah Mount.
17:00
Speaker 3: She's been receiving a great deal of media coverage in
17:03
Speaker 3: recent days. This is nearly a decade after being banned
17:06
Speaker 3: from playing in the afl W. Here's what Maunci told
17:10
Speaker 3: Code Sports about that episode.
17:13
Speaker 10: The afl W is a year old. We don't want
17:17
Speaker 10: this side show destroying it and they were worried about
17:20
Speaker 10: the commercial viability and the commercial impact that my playing
17:24
Speaker 10: would have and.
17:25
Speaker 11: What was the explanation to you, what did they what
17:28
Speaker 11: was their rationale?
17:29
Speaker 10: I'm still yet to receive that.
17:32
Speaker 3: I would have thought it was pretty obvious what the
17:34
Speaker 3: rationale was. Manci is a male identifying as a female,
17:38
Speaker 3: so huge unfair physical advantage over the female players. And
17:44
Speaker 3: now Mountci is fearful that he's going to be banned
17:47
Speaker 3: from representing Australia at the Los Angeles Olympics in the
17:51
Speaker 3: women's handball competition.
17:53
Speaker 1: Rachel, if Mounts is good.
17:56
Speaker 3: Enough, then he could play in the men's handball competition.
18:00
Speaker 1: And this victim playing is a little tone deaf.
18:03
Speaker 3: It seems like even the activist class have finally realized
18:08
Speaker 3: that this is an issue that they're not going to win.
18:11
Speaker 3: The overwhelming public support is with the female athletes who
18:15
Speaker 3: want to protect their sports.
18:17
Speaker 11: One reader and I love that their AMOUNTSI called efforts
18:22
Speaker 11: to protect women's sport the side show, as opposed to
18:24
Speaker 11: men playing in women's.
18:25
Speaker 1: Sport the side show.
18:26
Speaker 11: And the reality is the Maunsi is a male, and
18:29
Speaker 11: no matter how much he reduces his tostroone levels, which
18:32
Speaker 11: is what he claims to have done, he's always going
18:34
Speaker 11: to have an advantage over women in terms of muscle math, muscle, mass,
18:37
Speaker 11: power and strength. And he talks about, you know, having
18:41
Speaker 11: fears and not being able to compete in the Olympics
18:43
Speaker 11: and not being able.
18:43
Speaker 4: To represent Australia.
18:44
Speaker 11: But what about the safety fears and the fairness fears
18:47
Speaker 11: that his female opponents are going to have, And what
18:49
Speaker 11: about the fears of women in Australia who are going
18:52
Speaker 11: to potentially miss out on a position to represent Australia themselves.
18:55
Speaker 10: He's allowed to do so.
18:58
Speaker 3: Rachel Wong, thank you so much for your time tonight,
19:01
Speaker 3: still to come. Left is losing it Plus the latest
19:04
Speaker 3: from the US, including James Comby, is bizarre, cringeworthy stunt
19:10
Speaker 3: Josh Hammer is up next, Welcome back, and it's time
19:23
Speaker 3: for lefties losing it.
19:24
Speaker 1: Let's start in the UK Wor.
19:26
Speaker 3: A man in a red dress defaces a war memorial
19:30
Speaker 3: as crowds look on. No one tries to stop him,
19:34
Speaker 3: no one says a word. This is what civilizational decline
19:38
Speaker 3: that looks like now talking about civilizational decline, California is
20:05
Speaker 3: a perfect example.
20:06
Speaker 1: Blessed with every natural advantage, but riddled with crime and poverty.
20:11
Speaker 3: And yet the governor thinks he can be president and
20:14
Speaker 3: he's spending good money producing content like this attacking Donald Trump.
20:20
Speaker 8: Wake up, America, Wake up to what Donald Trump is doing.
20:27
Speaker 4: Here. He is once again trying to rig the system.
20:30
Speaker 4: He doesn't believe in the rules.
20:33
Speaker 12: We can't stand back and watch this democracy disappear district
20:38
Speaker 12: by district.
20:38
Speaker 13: We have got to meet fire with fire.
20:42
Speaker 3: The HOODSPA there is extraordinary. It's all about projection with
20:45
Speaker 3: these Democrats. Now, let's hear from a CNN host for
20:49
Speaker 3: Reed Zacharia on Bill Maher's program, and he gives a
20:53
Speaker 3: very important reality check for Gavin and his ilk.
20:57
Speaker 7: This is a huge Democratic party. If you look at
21:01
Speaker 7: Democratic cities, they are terribly run. They have incredibly high taxes.
21:06
Speaker 7: It is impossible to build. So the cost of housing,
21:09
Speaker 7: let me finish, let me finish av our cost of
21:11
Speaker 7: housing is crazy in places like New York and Chicago.
21:15
Speaker 7: If you look at Democratic states, you know, look.
21:18
Speaker 6: You go look at.
21:20
Speaker 7: New York versus Florida. Okay, roughly the same population. The
21:23
Speaker 7: budget of New York State is twice that of Florida.
21:27
Speaker 7: What do they have with streets paid with gold? I
21:30
Speaker 7: live in New York. I pay the highest taxes in
21:32
Speaker 7: New York.
21:32
Speaker 6: You get nothing for it.
21:34
Speaker 7: And I think that is the image people have of
21:37
Speaker 7: the Democratic Party. Lots of taxes, lots of regulation, but
21:41
Speaker 7: nothing gets done.
21:42
Speaker 3: Now let's hear from Kamala Harris. She enjoys cocktails and
21:46
Speaker 3: incoherent rants. Here she goes with the letter.
21:50
Speaker 14: Maybe what they're doing is liuchiating liucheating there.
21:54
Speaker 9: They want to change the current system, see bend toward
22:01
Speaker 9: the outcome they want. And so, you know, do you
22:05
Speaker 9: believe the public reporting.
22:06
Speaker 14: They get a call that says, hey, redo your lines,
22:10
Speaker 14: even though the fallout is going to include exactly what
22:13
Speaker 14: you said, which is, you know, taking the franchise the
22:17
Speaker 14: vote away from specific communities and in the case of Texas, Latina,
22:23
Speaker 14: the black lives.
22:24
Speaker 3: Yeah, just about everything she said there was a lie,
22:28
Speaker 3: half lie or just confused Kamala babbel.
22:31
Speaker 1: And it got worse as Kamala praised the.
22:34
Speaker 3: Pitiful Texas legislators who fled the state and abandoned their duty.
22:41
Speaker 14: And I and I have to say that, you know
22:43
Speaker 14: those Texas, those Texan legislators, good for them.
22:51
Speaker 3: And being an incoherent simpleton runs in the family. Here
22:54
Speaker 3: is Kamala's stepdaughter whining about climate anxiety.
23:00
Speaker 1: It feels discussed, folks, so much discussed.
23:03
Speaker 13: I feel discussed at what's going on in the world
23:08
Speaker 13: around the genocides, see loss of rights, the loss of healthcare,
23:14
Speaker 13: the just general fear that everyone has surrounding affordability, their lives,
23:22
Speaker 13: their livelihood, Like every day, it's just it feels so big.
23:28
Speaker 4: I think everything with the environment is really be getting
23:33
Speaker 4: to me, and it is one. I experience a lot
23:39
Speaker 4: of climate anxiety, like a lot of us do.
23:43
Speaker 1: It's not funny, wrong, it is funny. It's hilarious.
23:49
Speaker 3: In fact, let's hear now from the thoroughly discredited James Komy.
23:54
Speaker 3: You remember the former FBI director who played not only
23:58
Speaker 3: in significant role in the Russian collusion hoax, who improperly
24:02
Speaker 3: leaked information to activist journalists. The Biden DOJ declined to
24:06
Speaker 3: charge him for that. He may not be so lucky
24:09
Speaker 3: now that he's under criminal investigation. And don't forget that
24:13
Speaker 3: bizarre behavior where he posted a threat or a death
24:16
Speaker 3: wish against the president. Remember that lunacy. He claims he
24:21
Speaker 3: didn't know what it all meant. Well, now Komy has
24:24
Speaker 3: really lost the plot, posting a lengthy video about Taylor
24:29
Speaker 3: Swift and of course Donald.
24:31
Speaker 15: Trump and Donald Trump is still president and still humiliating
24:36
Speaker 15: America on a national stage standing next to Vladimir Putin.
24:39
Speaker 15: It's like a dream, a bad dream you can't wake
24:42
Speaker 15: up from. But I don't want to talk about that
24:44
Speaker 15: bad dream this week. I want to talk about a
24:46
Speaker 15: truly inspirational public figure named Taylor Swift. Of course I
24:50
Speaker 15: watched her podcast interview with the Kelsey Brothers. Of course
24:54
Speaker 15: I watched the whole thing, although on YouTube Pateresa and
24:57
Speaker 15: I got kicked off for the last fifteen minutes and
24:59
Speaker 15: finished it on her phone, But I watched it. You
25:03
Speaker 15: see Taylor Swift and I go way back. I went
25:06
Speaker 15: to my first concert of hers fifteen years ago. I've
25:09
Speaker 15: been to a second, and I have helped financially support
25:13
Speaker 15: the attendance of a lot of family members at others.
25:16
Speaker 15: I'm in a family's Swifty group chat.
25:20
Speaker 3: What what what is the own about? It's the former
25:24
Speaker 3: director of the FBI. I don't know if he's angling
25:27
Speaker 3: for some sort of not guilty by reason.
25:29
Speaker 1: Of insanity play? Should there be any charges.
25:32
Speaker 3: That mad Rant went on for another five minutes, and
25:36
Speaker 3: he's a love of Taylor Swift was just a Mainsta bash.
25:40
Speaker 3: Donald Trump and Republicans. I'm telling you, this dude needs
25:44
Speaker 3: professional help.
25:46
Speaker 15: And don't get me wrong, we have our jerks, millions
25:49
Speaker 15: of them. You may have noticed, in particular, there's a
25:52
Speaker 15: stunning coarseness and ugliness in the Republican Party today. It's upsetting,
25:57
Speaker 15: but it's also a minority of America on the whole.
26:01
Speaker 15: We aren't like that, and we don't like that. I
26:05
Speaker 15: think that's a big part of the reason so few
26:07
Speaker 15: Americans support Donald Trump when they have to see him
26:10
Speaker 15: and that up close, and why Republicans are so worried
26:14
Speaker 15: about what's coming for them next year, which is what
26:17
Speaker 15: makes me think about Taylor Swift. She's made clear that
26:21
Speaker 15: she sees Donald Trump for what he is, and last
26:24
Speaker 15: year she urged Americans not to make the serious mistake
26:28
Speaker 15: of electing him. Of course, we're now living with the
26:30
Speaker 15: consequences of that mistake. But while our elderly, makeup covered
26:34
Speaker 15: president is posting about whether Taylor Swift is still hot
26:39
Speaker 15: and declaring that he can't stand her, what's she doing
26:43
Speaker 15: living her best life?
26:45
Speaker 3: Yep, he's genuinely lost the plot, or perhaps angling for
26:50
Speaker 3: that insanity play. Joining me now is Newsweek seniors are
26:54
Speaker 3: at Large and Article three projects Citior Council.
26:57
Speaker 1: Josh Hamma.
26:57
Speaker 3: Josh, the former FBR director, together with the former CIA
27:01
Speaker 3: director John Brennan, a reportedly under criminal investigation for their
27:06
Speaker 3: part in the Russian collusion hoax, including allegedly making false
27:10
Speaker 3: statements to Congress.
27:12
Speaker 1: How worried should he be?
27:13
Speaker 3: He's saying Republicans are worried about what's coming next year?
27:17
Speaker 1: Should he be worried?
27:20
Speaker 13: You know?
27:20
Speaker 12: Reader, First of all, it's pretty late here on the
27:22
Speaker 12: East coast of the United States, and I was planning
27:24
Speaker 12: on just going to sleep after a conversation. After this
27:27
Speaker 12: video that I have just seen, I am utterly terrified
27:30
Speaker 12: the possibility that I'm going to be awake all night
27:32
Speaker 12: due to just serial recurring nightmare. So I'm going to
27:34
Speaker 12: have to go go in bed and find some comedy
27:36
Speaker 12: on Netflix, just unwind and just try to forget the
27:39
Speaker 12: horror that I just saw there. But you know, James Comy,
27:41
Speaker 12: you know, going on and on there about how Taylor
27:44
Speaker 12: Swift has seen President Trump up close. Well, now I've
27:47
Speaker 12: also seen Jim Comy up close for the first time,
27:49
Speaker 12: and god knows how long dude looks like he's aged
27:52
Speaker 12: twenty five years over the past seven or eight years.
27:54
Speaker 12: First of all, I don't know what he's doing in
27:56
Speaker 12: his personal life. I don't know what's going on there,
27:59
Speaker 12: But I mean talk about.
28:00
Speaker 8: Just I mean, like, what was that?
28:02
Speaker 13: Like?
28:03
Speaker 8: Literally what was I mean?
28:04
Speaker 12: Is he literally trying out to become like the backup
28:06
Speaker 12: drummer for the new like Taylor Swift traveling band. He's
28:08
Speaker 12: he trying to be like the third wheel in the
28:10
Speaker 12: Travis Kelsey Taylor Swift relationship. I mean, like, what is
28:13
Speaker 12: his endgame here? Exactly there? But you know, if I
28:15
Speaker 12: were Jim Comey, if I were offering unsolicited legal advice
28:18
Speaker 12: to Jim Comy, which I would never do because I
28:20
Speaker 12: would personally prefer to see him locked up behind bars.
28:22
Speaker 12: But if hypothetically I were offering unsolicited legal advice to
28:25
Speaker 12: Jim Coby, I would say, stop watching your stupid tailor
28:28
Speaker 12: Swift crap on the internet and probably go find a
28:30
Speaker 12: good criminal defense lawyer, dude, because you actually need it,
28:33
Speaker 12: because you have probably lied to Congress within the five
28:36
Speaker 12: year statute limitations.
28:37
Speaker 13: There.
28:37
Speaker 12: I think the Jim Comey, Clapper, Hillary Clinton, I think
28:41
Speaker 12: all three of them are actually in serious, serious jeopardy
28:43
Speaker 12: here when it comes to five year statute of limitations there.
28:46
Speaker 12: I think the Pambomdi Task Force RITA is very much
28:49
Speaker 12: on the case there. And if I were Jim Comey,
28:51
Speaker 12: I would be very very worried he should stop with
28:53
Speaker 12: this stupid crap. I don't know what the heck he's
28:55
Speaker 12: trying to do here with the tailor swift thing, but frankly,
28:57
Speaker 12: it's creepy. It's really, really, really weird there. I would
29:00
Speaker 12: just focus on trying to avoid prison time.
29:02
Speaker 1: Dude.
29:05
Speaker 3: I think there need to be charges, Josh, We've spoken
29:08
Speaker 3: about this in the past. It's all well and good
29:10
Speaker 3: to have some level of transparency and have an understanding
29:15
Speaker 3: of how this Russian collusion hoax came about, who was involved,
29:19
Speaker 3: who was complicit, But without some accountability, without some consequences,
29:25
Speaker 3: what's going to be the disincentive for the Democrats not
29:29
Speaker 3: to do this again the next time around?
29:32
Speaker 8: Well, you're totally right, there will be no disincentive. Now.
29:36
Speaker 8: It's tragically late as it is.
29:37
Speaker 12: I mean, I mean, let's just be clear here, when
29:39
Speaker 12: we're talking about Russia, gay, when we're talking about Brendan
29:41
Speaker 12: Clapper and Comy cooking the books to launder the steel
29:45
Speaker 12: Darcy a fusion GPS Hillary Clinic campaign through the very
29:49
Speaker 12: tail end of you Obama in Talnge community, where we're
29:51
Speaker 12: talking here about twenty sixteen, twenty seventeen. I mean, I mean,
29:54
Speaker 12: we're talking here about crimes that are committed eight and
29:57
Speaker 12: a half almost nine years.
29:58
Speaker 8: Ago, depending on the specific conducts.
30:00
Speaker 12: So the fact that we're even had this conversation now,
30:02
Speaker 12: I think is frustrating in and of itself. This is
30:04
Speaker 12: a conversation that very much should have happened, frankly during
30:08
Speaker 12: the first Trump term. I mean, we shouldn't have been
30:10
Speaker 12: talking about the molar probe and trying to investigate webinar
30:13
Speaker 12: Donald Trump was actually a Manchurian can that in putting
30:16
Speaker 12: Kremlin asset. We shouldn't talking about trying to put people
30:19
Speaker 12: like Jim Comey and John Brenn and Jim Clapper in jail.
30:21
Speaker 12: So the fact that we're having this conversation delayed is
30:24
Speaker 12: extremely frustrating, you know, in and of itself. The problem,
30:27
Speaker 12: read as you and I have discussed, is that a
30:29
Speaker 12: lot of the shall we say, flashier, sexier crimes have
30:33
Speaker 12: statutes of limitations. There Now, again, as we discussed in
30:36
Speaker 12: the past, there I am of the opinion there that
30:38
Speaker 12: if I were recommending to Pambondi's dog task for us,
30:41
Speaker 12: I think that it is well within the balance of reason,
30:45
Speaker 12: and dare I say, even prudence to try to get
30:47
Speaker 12: shall we say, a little creative with some of these
30:49
Speaker 12: statute of limitations tolling the same way that Alvin Bragg
30:53
Speaker 12: was very creative to Donald Trump when it came to
30:55
Speaker 12: the whole Stormy Daniel's Michael Cohen fraudulent bookkeeping statute. There,
30:59
Speaker 12: I mean statut limitations for those quote unquote crimes should
31:03
Speaker 12: have expired like five or six years was I'm there,
31:05
Speaker 12: and they find they found some way to stick that
31:07
Speaker 12: work and the most stolen his trial in American history there.
31:10
Speaker 12: So if there's a will, there's a way. I don't
31:12
Speaker 12: necessarily love that I'm saying this. By the way, I'm
31:15
Speaker 12: a lawyer. I revere the rule of law of the
31:17
Speaker 12: Constitution there. But read to the point is I think
31:19
Speaker 12: you and I are of like mind on this. Unless
31:21
Speaker 12: you teach these people lesson and teach unless unless until
31:24
Speaker 12: you really shock them across the jaw and they pay
31:27
Speaker 12: some sort of serious price for this, They're going to
31:30
Speaker 12: escalate and escalate and escalate until we're all in some
31:33
Speaker 12: proverbial or literal gulag.
31:34
Speaker 8: And I know that I personally don't want to end.
31:36
Speaker 4: Up with that.
31:38
Speaker 3: No, well said, Now to the Russia Ukraine War, we
31:42
Speaker 3: saw the short of strength from the US, including that
31:45
Speaker 3: stealth bomber flyover over Vladimir Putin's head. But overnight we've
31:51
Speaker 3: had the Ukrainian leader a Zelenski speak out about these negotiations.
31:56
Speaker 16: It had this to say, the constitution of you in
32:00
Speaker 16: makes it impossible impossible to give up territory or trade land.
32:06
Speaker 16: Since the territorial issue is so important, it should be
32:10
Speaker 16: discussed only by the leaders of Ukraine and Russia at
32:14
Speaker 16: the trilateral Ukraine United States Russia. So far Russia gives
32:19
Speaker 16: no sign that trilateral will happen.
32:22
Speaker 3: Joshi referenced the Ukrainian constitution there and called for further
32:27
Speaker 3: economic sanctions against Russia.
32:30
Speaker 1: How do you say the lightest development.
32:33
Speaker 12: So, first of all, the optics of this meeting in Anchorage,
32:36
Speaker 12: Alaska on Friday, we're really incredible, reader, weren't they. I
32:39
Speaker 12: mean the B two bomber flying overhead, I mean as
32:41
Speaker 12: they were walking down the red carpet, Donald Trump taking
32:44
Speaker 12: flat mirpoon's hand and like physically pulling in the world's
32:47
Speaker 12: ultimate power handshake. I mean, the optics we just can miss,
32:51
Speaker 12: you know, unmistakable stuff. The problem here in this conflict,
32:56
Speaker 12: and you know, Zelensky saying there what he's been saying
32:58
Speaker 12: for the past three and a half years, which is
32:59
Speaker 12: that Ukraine's not ready or willing to give up an
33:02
Speaker 12: inch of territory. Meanwhile, on the other hand, you have
33:05
Speaker 12: Lamar Putin who simply thinks that Ukraine literally does not
33:08
Speaker 12: and should not exist as a sovereign, independent entity. It's
33:11
Speaker 12: very difficult, frankly to see at this time, what does
33:13
Speaker 12: an actual then diagram overlap sweet spot, you know, a
33:16
Speaker 12: zone of possible agreements between these two parties there. So look,
33:20
Speaker 12: I mean Donald Trump at times sounded somewhat frustrated after
33:24
Speaker 12: the meeting a time South and someone optimistic there the
33:26
Speaker 12: details that things remain a little bit to be determined.
33:29
Speaker 12: But both these men are going to have to budge there.
33:31
Speaker 12: I mean, Putin is going to have to recognize that
33:33
Speaker 12: Ukraine has existed since the downfall of communistment, is going
33:36
Speaker 12: to continue to exist as independent countries. Zelenski is going
33:39
Speaker 12: to have to concede the reality on the ground as
33:43
Speaker 12: far as where the military troops are and so forth,
33:45
Speaker 12: that Ukraine is not going to have these same borders
33:47
Speaker 12: after this war that it had prior to the February
33:50
Speaker 12: twenty twenty two incursion from the Russian Army. On the
33:53
Speaker 12: other hand, Ukraine's going to have to accept as well
33:55
Speaker 12: that they're not going to join NATO and the European Union.
33:58
Speaker 12: So there's going to have to be a lot of
34:00
Speaker 12: give and take here on both sides. The rough outlines
34:02
Speaker 12: of a deal, reader, I think are pretty clear. They've
34:04
Speaker 12: been fairly clear now for about two years, which is
34:06
Speaker 12: which really probably three years was the most frustrating part
34:08
Speaker 12: of all this there. But again, these two guys just
34:11
Speaker 12: aren't willing to budge there. But you know what, here's
34:13
Speaker 12: what I know. I know that if there's one guy
34:14
Speaker 12: who can actually get this through across the finish line,
34:17
Speaker 12: it's the guy who got the peace deal between Cambodia
34:19
Speaker 12: and Thaieh Land, between Congo and Rwanda, India and Pakistan,
34:22
Speaker 12: Armenia and Azerbaijan, Israel and Iran. My goodness, gracious, how
34:25
Speaker 12: many peace deals has this guy gotten in just the
34:27
Speaker 12: past six seven years or past six seven months of
34:30
Speaker 12: this administration there, So we'll see if he's got one
34:32
Speaker 12: more trick up his card reader, But I definitely wu
34:34
Speaker 12: not discount the possibility.
34:35
Speaker 3: Now the Democrats are turning on each other. Mayor Eric
34:39
Speaker 3: Adams has hit out at the man likely to replace
34:43
Speaker 3: him as mayor, a Democrat and communist, Zora and ma'm Dani, who,
34:48
Speaker 3: despite being a Muslim Josh, wants to decriminalize prostitution.
34:53
Speaker 1: Well, Mayor Adams was.
34:54
Speaker 3: Calling him out on that is wondering what Kuran ma'm
34:57
Speaker 3: Dani is reading.
35:00
Speaker 12: Of God, just says Macdonnie says he's a Muslim.
35:04
Speaker 7: I don't know where in his Kuran does the state
35:06
Speaker 7: it's okay for a woman to be on the street
35:09
Speaker 7: selling their boy.
35:10
Speaker 6: I don't know what Karan is not.
35:12
Speaker 7: In my baby, and so if that's his belief, it
35:17
Speaker 7: is dangerous.
35:18
Speaker 1: For our city, Josh.
35:20
Speaker 3: I've got to say it's controversial obviously for Madams to
35:23
Speaker 3: say what he said, but I'm.
35:25
Speaker 1: So glad he's calling out this.
35:28
Speaker 3: Unholy alliance that exists between and Mandani is really a
35:33
Speaker 3: good representative of but this unholy alliance between the far
35:36
Speaker 3: left and Islamist You could call them who've got nothing
35:41
Speaker 3: in common other than their hate for the West and
35:45
Speaker 3: the hate of conservatives and Republicans.
35:49
Speaker 12: Yeah, it's the old Red Green Alliance. And Zora Mamdani
35:53
Speaker 12: is the singular encapsulation of this. By the way, So
35:55
Speaker 12: is this is this nut job running from mayor in Minneapolis,
35:58
Speaker 12: Minnesota or Marfaite as well, exact same thing there. But
36:01
Speaker 12: you know, ma'am donnie, you know Eric Adams is right.
36:04
Speaker 12: I mean, ma'm donnie is not a shall you say,
36:07
Speaker 12: he's not a Commas style islamis I mean, this is
36:10
Speaker 12: not someone who actually believes in the universal binding nature
36:14
Speaker 12: of Shria law. Rather, what ma'm donnie does is he
36:17
Speaker 12: takes kind of the identity politics aspect of Islamic background
36:22
Speaker 12: and then takes it and kind of transmographies it launders
36:25
Speaker 12: it through the prism of progressive politics.
36:27
Speaker 8: That's how you get.
36:28
Speaker 12: Him going all in on the globalizing into Fada stuff
36:31
Speaker 12: when it comes to Israel, when it comes to his
36:32
Speaker 12: anti Semitism there, when it comes to his whole noxious
36:35
Speaker 12: DEI woke worldview. But I mean, this is obviously not
36:38
Speaker 12: someone who is a particularly pious or religious Muslim there.
36:41
Speaker 12: But you know, you know read, I never fail to laugh.
36:44
Speaker 12: You know, when these individuals come along, I think back
36:46
Speaker 12: more often than it probably should, about about a woman
36:49
Speaker 12: named Linda Sarsour.
36:50
Speaker 8: The world has probably forgotten.
36:51
Speaker 12: That she existed, but she was the leader of the
36:55
Speaker 12: Women's March back in twenty seventeen, and there were these
36:58
Speaker 12: old tweets of hers kind of lauding Law and what
37:01
Speaker 12: it's said about credit cards and interest payments is apparently
37:03
Speaker 12: a very favorable liberal policy there. I mean, has anyone
37:06
Speaker 12: asked Linda Sarasa, the leader of the Women's morator Sheria
37:09
Speaker 12: Law says about oh, I don't know, women, and about
37:11
Speaker 12: like women's rights.
37:12
Speaker 8: And all that there.
37:13
Speaker 12: So I mean this whole red Green alliance, reader, I mean,
37:16
Speaker 12: as you properly say, it's all about destroying Jews, Christians,
37:19
Speaker 12: the West, capitalism or literally all Western civilization. But I
37:22
Speaker 12: mean it's a rather art alliance, isn't.
37:24
Speaker 1: It It is?
37:27
Speaker 3: And you know how it's going to end because those
37:29
Speaker 3: two groups really agree on nothing, and one of them
37:33
Speaker 3: is not particularly tolerant of anything that is not part
37:37
Speaker 3: of their belief system. Now, from one Democrat city to another,
37:41
Speaker 3: LA is a mess. Downtown LA is derelict, depressing place.
37:47
Speaker 3: It's getting some attention for just the huge crime Josh,
37:51
Speaker 3: the homelessners, businesses boarded up. And we see this across
37:56
Speaker 3: the US in some of these big, formally glorious cities
38:02
Speaker 3: that are just shadows of their former self. What's the
38:06
Speaker 3: solution to this? Stickay, they do have one thing in common.
38:09
Speaker 3: They are all ruled by Democrats and long term. But
38:14
Speaker 3: if the people keep voting for politicians who enable this,
38:20
Speaker 3: what is the solution? Is there a way to recover
38:23
Speaker 3: these cities and restore them to their former glory.
38:27
Speaker 12: Look, I mean not sound like an ultrapartisan, but you're
38:30
Speaker 12: totally right.
38:31
Speaker 8: I mean virtually.
38:32
Speaker 12: Every scene in America that has you know, gone down
38:35
Speaker 12: the toilet over the past three, four or five decades
38:38
Speaker 12: on end, whether it's Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, Memphis, Tennessee,
38:42
Speaker 12: Saint Louis, Baltimore, Detroit, Washington, d C. I mean, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
38:46
Speaker 12: I mean, there's just so so many examples there. And
38:49
Speaker 12: you know, when is the last time there's been a
38:51
Speaker 12: Republican mayor in literally any of the cities they just named.
38:55
Speaker 12: I actually don't know what the answer is, but i'spect
38:57
Speaker 12: it's been a very very long time there, so you know,
39:00
Speaker 12: at some point it's very difficult to help people Riata
39:04
Speaker 12: who don't want to help themselves. Like I have the
39:07
Speaker 12: same thoughts similarly as well, when I look at the
39:09
Speaker 12: current situation in Europe, When I look at, you know,
39:11
Speaker 12: the horrible situation in the UK, when it comes to
39:13
Speaker 12: these roving gangs of Pakistani Muslims that are doing all
39:16
Speaker 12: sorts of horrible things to little English school children there,
39:19
Speaker 12: I think, you know, how can I help them? Then
39:21
Speaker 12: I also say, you know, you can't help people who
39:23
Speaker 12: don't want to help themselves, whether it comes to importing
39:27
Speaker 12: you know, mass folks from Syian in Afghanistan who want
39:29
Speaker 12: assimilate there, whether it comes to electing democrats here.
39:31
Speaker 8: So it's a very difficult thing.
39:32
Speaker 12: But I do think a little bit about this quote
39:35
Speaker 12: from a great twentieth century social critic and newspaper comments
39:38
Speaker 12: by the name of hl Menkin. He was a famous
39:40
Speaker 12: early twentieth century columnist here in the United States, and
39:43
Speaker 12: hl Mancan had this one famous quote Riata where he
39:45
Speaker 12: said that democracy is the theory of the common man.
39:48
Speaker 12: Common man knows what he wants, and he deserves to
39:50
Speaker 12: get it good and hard. So I look like I
39:53
Speaker 12: look at a city like Los Angeles, I look at
39:55
Speaker 12: a city like Chicago, Baltimore, Detroit, and I say, you
39:57
Speaker 12: know what, this is hl Mankin's quote at work. I'm
39:59
Speaker 12: just happy, for one though, that I live in the
40:01
Speaker 12: free state of Florida.
40:02
Speaker 3: Before you go, Josh, I just want to get your
40:05
Speaker 3: input about the NFL forcing its teams to participate in
40:09
Speaker 3: more activism, more pointless activism. The teams are being told
40:13
Speaker 3: they have to put up these messages on their end zones,
40:16
Speaker 3: things like end racism, stop Hate's about a half a
40:20
Speaker 3: dozen social justice messages that they can choose from. But
40:23
Speaker 3: I noted that her Meat Dylan, the Assistant Attorney General
40:27
Speaker 3: for Civil Rights, had her own suggestion she wants this.
40:31
Speaker 1: To be on the end zone. No one is above
40:34
Speaker 1: the law.
40:35
Speaker 3: I can get bought with that sort of messaging, Josh.
40:39
Speaker 12: Well, Harmon Dylan, by the way, is absolutely fantastic, and
40:42
Speaker 12: the American people who are blessed to have her in
40:44
Speaker 12: her current position as the head of the Civil Rights
40:46
Speaker 12: division of the dogm and following harmeied known Harmeat for
40:49
Speaker 12: a long time there, so you know she is one
40:51
Speaker 12: of many, many somewhat under the radar amazing appointees currently
40:55
Speaker 12: serving the American people and serving it at a very
40:57
Speaker 12: high level. Unfortunately, when it comes to the NFL, Dri Goodell,
41:00
Speaker 12: the commissioner has been down the woke rabbit hole for
41:02
Speaker 12: a very very long time now. Now read a lot
41:05
Speaker 12: of these pro leagues here, the NFL, the NBA, they
41:08
Speaker 12: really doubled and tripled down on the woke crap after
41:12
Speaker 12: the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis back in twenty twenty.
41:15
Speaker 12: But it's been literally over five years. I mean, it's
41:17
Speaker 12: been literally over five years. Donald Trump has been brought
41:20
Speaker 12: back like a phoenix, you know, from the from his
41:22
Speaker 12: political death. He is now president in I state a
41:24
Speaker 12: second time.
41:25
Speaker 8: There he is.
41:26
Speaker 12: Waging a war on DEI through through executive orders, through
41:29
Speaker 12: through judicial decisions, through all the above stragedy there, and
41:33
Speaker 12: you know, when are when are these remaining cultural institutions
41:36
Speaker 12: going to get it? But ultimately read, you know, in
41:38
Speaker 12: situation like this, the owners does fall on folks like me. Frankly,
41:42
Speaker 12: I mean for someone like myself who was conservative, who
41:44
Speaker 12: nonetheless is a big sports fan. There, I mean, I
41:47
Speaker 12: hate to say it, but I guess the oners really
41:48
Speaker 12: does kind of fall on us and really just turned
41:50
Speaker 12: the channel and you know, and not watch this and
41:52
Speaker 12: try to send a message, because that message actually does work.
41:55
Speaker 12: I mean, think about Anaser Busch, Anaser Busch bud Light
41:58
Speaker 12: after Dylan mulvaney Fast two and a half years ago.
42:01
Speaker 12: Think about Target two years ago after they had the
42:03
Speaker 12: so called quote unquote talk friendly clothing for children, the
42:07
Speaker 12: transgender stuff. Their stock went, you know, went down the
42:09
Speaker 12: toilet there. So the American consumers are actually very capable
42:12
Speaker 12: of speaking out when companies disrespect their consumer base. There
42:15
Speaker 12: And unfortunately, again as sports fan, it's kind of painful
42:18
Speaker 12: to say, but I think that the NFL is probably
42:20
Speaker 12: the next in line for such treatment.
42:24
Speaker 3: Josh Hamma, thank you so much for your time today.
42:26
Speaker 3: Still to come, Megan Michael mocked for her poor kitchen hygiene.
42:31
Speaker 1: Kinseisco Field has the details.
42:42
Speaker 3: Welcome back joining me now, celebrity and royal reporter kinsisco
42:46
Speaker 3: Field Kinsey. Let's start with Affordable Cosmetics Elf. They're a
42:51
Speaker 3: brand I've never heard of, but they're involved in some controversy.
42:54
Speaker 3: Because I've got a new ad starring comedian Matt Raife
42:57
Speaker 3: alongside drag Queen Heidi in cause it get it and
43:01
Speaker 3: they've said, you know us, we're always listening and we've
43:05
Speaker 3: heard you, Kinsey, what are they apologizing for? As far
43:09
Speaker 3: as I know, Matt Rife is hilarious.
43:13
Speaker 17: I mean, this is the thing. It's like sometimes I
43:16
Speaker 17: want to say, cancel culture doesn't exist anymore, but here
43:19
Speaker 17: we are. Matt Rift is a comedian. I think he's
43:22
Speaker 17: a very funny comedian. But apparently the comment section was
43:26
Speaker 17: angry about a previous joke he made involving domestic violence.
43:30
Speaker 17: He kind of refused to apologize. Instead, he responded with
43:34
Speaker 17: a link to buy helmets for those with disabilities. He said,
43:38
Speaker 17: if you've ever been offended by a joke I've told,
43:40
Speaker 17: here's a link to my official apology, and that's what
43:42
Speaker 17: it was. So it's like, you know, I think back
43:46
Speaker 17: in the day, people understood the difference between a joke
43:50
Speaker 17: and something that crossed the line. And I think that
43:54
Speaker 17: after me too, and after you know, kind of the
43:56
Speaker 17: cancel culture way we've had, there are still some question there.
44:01
Speaker 17: He's a comedian, he's supposed to see things that are inappropriate.
44:06
Speaker 1: You know what.
44:06
Speaker 3: He's funny, and I think as long as you're funny.
44:09
Speaker 3: When you're a comic, then you can say pretty much
44:12
Speaker 3: what you like. I don't have any objections. If you
44:14
Speaker 3: don't like it, then you know, go watch Jimmy Kimmel
44:17
Speaker 3: or something that's painfully unfunny but perhaps suits your politics more.
44:22
Speaker 3: But being offended by Matt Rife really in twenty twenty five? Now,
44:26
Speaker 3: let's move along to this trailer for a new documentary
44:30
Speaker 3: about Krannie West. This trailer that's dropped features Kim Kardashian
44:36
Speaker 3: crying as she tells West, your personality was not like
44:40
Speaker 3: this a few years ago. It's fairly tense footage of
44:44
Speaker 3: their tumultuous marriage.
44:47
Speaker 1: What else do we learn from this? Stock o'kinsey.
44:50
Speaker 17: So the movie's described as a reflection of the human
44:53
Speaker 17: condition and all its contradictions. There's also one point where
44:57
Speaker 17: Kanye says, I would rather be dead than beyond medication.
45:01
Speaker 17: Either they destroy me or I destroy it. So, you know,
45:06
Speaker 17: what do we learn? I think we're going to learn
45:08
Speaker 17: a lot more about Kanye if he's of interest to
45:10
Speaker 17: you today. But unfortunately, I feel like some of his
45:13
Speaker 17: intricks over the last few years have really made him
45:17
Speaker 17: a polarizing figure, and I don't know how many people
45:20
Speaker 17: are curious about him. I think that a lot of
45:23
Speaker 17: people are just so turned off that they've shut him out.
45:28
Speaker 3: He's just had such Yeah, he was all about God
45:32
Speaker 3: and his Christian values and his family values, and then
45:35
Speaker 3: you see how he's carrying on at the moment. It's
45:39
Speaker 3: hard to keep up. Now, Meghan Michael, I know you
45:42
Speaker 3: love her, so I've included this topic just for you.
45:44
Speaker 3: She's been mocked over her kitchen hygiene.
45:48
Speaker 1: I think this is a bit harsh.
45:50
Speaker 3: There was a bug that was seen crawling out from
45:53
Speaker 3: under a plate of cookies during season two of her
45:56
Speaker 3: cooking show With Love Meghan bit harsh because you know
46:02
Speaker 3: she's this is almost endearing as far as Megan Michael
46:05
Speaker 3: goes well.
46:07
Speaker 17: I mean, what she's trying to do is highlight her
46:09
Speaker 17: as every shortbread mix here on social media. But this
46:12
Speaker 17: presentation backfired because you do see this little worm, and
46:17
Speaker 17: critics are saying that it's unsanitary, and I mean, it's
46:21
Speaker 17: just turned into a people fiasco. But I think the
46:24
Speaker 17: reason why people care about it is because she's talking
46:27
Speaker 17: about her entire new brand is about elevating and how
46:30
Speaker 17: she looks for the little details and it's like, girlfriend,
46:34
Speaker 17: you missed a bug on your tray. You're trying to
46:37
Speaker 17: teach us about details, there is a bug in your food.
46:40
Speaker 1: I think that's why this is blowing up online.
46:44
Speaker 3: Well, you know, she's too busy putting little micro flowers
46:47
Speaker 3: all over the food, so the bugs are an afterthought.
46:52
Speaker 3: I spoke about this next topic earlier in the program,
46:55
Speaker 3: and Left is losing it.
46:56
Speaker 1: Former FBI director.
46:57
Speaker 3: James Comey's bizarre that he posted himself explaining how he
47:03
Speaker 3: listens to Taylor Swift as a coping mechanism to deal
47:07
Speaker 3: with President Trump. Kinsey, I've got to say, from what
47:11
Speaker 3: I've seen, he's been pretty comprehensively mocked for this bizarre
47:16
Speaker 3: and lengthy rant.
47:19
Speaker 1: You're absolutely right. The internet is so confused.
47:22
Speaker 17: One of my favorite comments online was, ah, I see
47:25
Speaker 17: James Comy is lobbying for the insanity defense when the
47:28
Speaker 17: criminal charges come his way. But if I could steal
47:32
Speaker 17: a line from my favorite Senator John Kennedy of Louisiana,
47:36
Speaker 17: James Comy needs to go to Amazon and buy some testicles.
47:39
Speaker 17: I mean, what grown man wants to sit around and
47:42
Speaker 17: talk about how Taylor Swift is a part of his
47:45
Speaker 17: healing process reader.
47:46
Speaker 1: I'm concerned.
47:49
Speaker 3: Oh, we're all concerned about James Comy. I said earlier
47:52
Speaker 3: that he's angling for some sort of not guilty by
47:55
Speaker 3: reason of mental insanity defense. Perhaps there's this method to
47:59
Speaker 3: the maners before you go. There's some recent analysis showing
48:05
Speaker 3: that Republican Texas Senator Ted Cruz, his podcast Verdict with
48:10
Speaker 3: Ted Cruz, is the most popular political podcast, boasting nearly
48:15
Speaker 3: one point five million downloads in July alone. Kinsey, this
48:20
Speaker 3: took me by surprise because he's got a sense of humor,
48:24
Speaker 3: but he's a pretty serious figure. But obviously plenty of
48:27
Speaker 3: people are listening into his thoughts here. Yeah.
48:31
Speaker 17: I also think that this is a case for consistency.
48:34
Speaker 17: We mentioned began Marcole. He's been doing this like three
48:38
Speaker 17: days a week since twenty twenty. You know, people know
48:40
Speaker 17: that they can rely on and he fights a lot
48:42
Speaker 17: of people. He goes after a lot of people, he
48:44
Speaker 17: challenges them. But what I loved about this was it
48:47
Speaker 17: was like Republicans versus Democrats and how the podcasting world
48:51
Speaker 17: is really dominated by some of the Republican personalities. Gavin
48:55
Speaker 17: Newsom came in second. He's also kind of a newbie
48:58
Speaker 17: but he's trying to build a podcasts through celebrity association,
49:02
Speaker 17: and that's not what people want.
49:04
Speaker 1: We want real We want these.
49:06
Speaker 17: These these politicians to talk to us like we're real people.
49:12
Speaker 1: Some authenticity is uh, what's needed. People love a.
49:16
Speaker 3: Touch of authenticity, particularly from their politicians. Kinsey, thank you
49:21
Speaker 3: so much for your time tonight, and that's all the
49:24
Speaker 3: time I've got. I'll see you at eleven tomorrow night.
49:28
Speaker 3: Up next, it's Newsnight,
