Speaker 1: On scoring lids Australia. This is the Reader Paney Show.
0:08
Speaker 2: Good evening and welcome to the Rita Panehy Show. Coming
0:11
Speaker 2: up tonight the leadership showdown between Susan Lee and Angus Taylor.
0:15
Speaker 2: Daniel Wilde will provide his insights into the candidates. Next,
0:20
Speaker 2: the Great Douglas Murray joins the program and he has
0:22
Speaker 2: some blistering analysis for the likes of Grace Tame and
0:27
Speaker 2: the Greens. Army Horowitz will have the latest from the US,
0:30
Speaker 2: and later in the hour Kinsey Schofield will bring us
0:34
Speaker 2: the real scandal from the Winter Olympics and Left is losing.
0:39
Speaker 2: It features this brave woman. But first Susan Lee and
0:55
Speaker 2: Angus Taylor will face off for the Liberal leadership tomorrow morning.
0:58
Speaker 2: A letter calling for a Lee ship's bill was hand
1:01
Speaker 2: delivered to Leite this morning and we've had several resignations
1:05
Speaker 2: from key Liberal figures, including James Patterson and Jonathan Dunniam.
1:10
Speaker 2: Angus Taylor made his pitch to voters in a social
1:13
Speaker 2: media video posted earlier today.
1:16
Speaker 3: Our country is in trouble.
1:18
Speaker 2: The Labor government has failed and the Liberal Party has
1:21
Speaker 2: lost its way.
1:23
Speaker 3: I'm running to be.
1:24
Speaker 2: The leader of the Liberal Party because I believe that
1:26
Speaker 2: Australia is worth fighting for. Joining me now is Institute
1:30
Speaker 2: of Public Affairs Deputy Executive Director Daniel Wild Dan. We're
1:36
Speaker 2: also likely to have a fight for the deputy role.
1:39
Speaker 2: We've got the likes of Senator Jane Hume expected to
1:42
Speaker 2: challenge Ted O'Brien for the position. Tim Wilson, Zowen, Mackenzie
1:46
Speaker 2: dan Tin and Melissa McIntosh are also potential candidates. So
1:51
Speaker 2: does that fill you with confidence?
1:56
Speaker 4: Well, it's a start, you know. Obviously some change is
2:00
Speaker 4: needed in a leadership capacity. I mean, you can't go
2:04
Speaker 4: to an election on a fifteen or a sixteen percent primary.
2:06
Speaker 4: You know it's going to be all over. It was
2:08
Speaker 4: only a matter of time before leadership was changed. But look,
2:13
Speaker 4: the thing is that no matter who the leader is,
2:15
Speaker 4: no matter who the deputy leader is, there needs to
2:17
Speaker 4: be more than just a change of the personalities. There
2:20
Speaker 4: needs to be a change of policy direction that needs
2:22
Speaker 4: to be very sharp, It needs to be convincing, and
2:25
Speaker 4: it needs to be unrelenting on the issues that actually matter,
2:28
Speaker 4: for example, on immigration, on policies like net zero, on
2:32
Speaker 4: the direction of our country and our culture. So we'll
2:36
Speaker 4: wait and see as to whether the next leader of
2:39
Speaker 4: the party and the deputy leader understand that and are
2:42
Speaker 4: able to communicate and create a contest. Right, they actually
2:44
Speaker 4: have to create a contest with the government. We all
2:46
Speaker 4: know that interest rates are up, we all know that
2:48
Speaker 4: cost of living is up and so forth, but you know,
2:50
Speaker 4: what are you actually going to do about it? And
2:52
Speaker 4: how are you going to communicate to Australians that you
2:56
Speaker 4: offer a different alternative. The other point I'll make is
2:58
Speaker 4: that the challenge that the Liberal Party phases is that
3:01
Speaker 4: there's a real lack of trust in it among the community.
3:05
Speaker 4: So they have a massive, if you want to use
3:07
Speaker 4: a marketing term, of brand equity issue. People don't really
3:10
Speaker 4: listen to Liberals at the moment because of the ten
3:13
Speaker 4: years in government, most of which was wasted. So you know,
3:16
Speaker 4: I don't know whether they understand that they're in the
3:19
Speaker 4: Tory territory now. You know, it's not just like another
3:22
Speaker 4: normal cycle. It's people actually don't trust the brand anymore.
3:25
Speaker 4: So you know, a change of leadership will help. But
3:28
Speaker 4: this is pretty structural at the moment.
3:32
Speaker 2: Can you see Angus Taylor repairing that trust with the
3:36
Speaker 2: Liberal base and with voters in general, because this is
3:40
Speaker 2: all about policies. If you don't actually stand for anything consequential,
3:45
Speaker 2: then you can change leaders as much as you like.
3:48
Speaker 2: You're not going to win back that support from disaffected voters.
3:53
Speaker 4: That's right. It remains to be seen. So you know,
3:56
Speaker 4: I'll keep an open mind about whoever the leader is.
3:59
Speaker 4: Looks like it anger, so keep it open mind about it.
4:02
Speaker 4: But the first thing they have to do politically speaking,
4:04
Speaker 4: is they have to actually win back to one nation voters.
4:06
Speaker 4: So you know, they're actually fighting a war on two fronts.
4:10
Speaker 4: So there's no point in taking the fight to the
4:12
Speaker 4: government unless you take the fight to one nation first.
4:15
Speaker 4: But this is what they have to understand is that
4:17
Speaker 4: their current opponent is not Labor, their current opponent is
4:20
Speaker 4: one nation, and they need to make sure they retain
4:23
Speaker 4: the status as the actual opposition party. So that's step
4:26
Speaker 4: number one. And I don't think it's actually that difficult
4:29
Speaker 4: to do in terms of policies. It's just a question
4:32
Speaker 4: of whether they want to do it or not. Now
4:34
Speaker 4: this reveals something much more fundamental, which is half of
4:36
Speaker 4: the Parliamentary Party doesn't want to do that, right because
4:39
Speaker 4: they're ashamed of it. You know, half of the party
4:41
Speaker 4: is ashamed of working class Australians. They thumb their nose
4:44
Speaker 4: at cultural issues. They think it's beneath them. A lot
4:46
Speaker 4: of them are quite snobbish about it. So whether they
4:49
Speaker 4: actually have the capacity to make that move and to
4:52
Speaker 4: I'm not saying you just appeal to one nation voters
4:54
Speaker 4: for the sake of it, but politically that's the only
4:55
Speaker 4: way they survive. And the broader point here is that
4:59
Speaker 4: the you know, can this massive structural split within the
5:04
Speaker 4: party be repaired or is it sort of too fundamental?
5:08
Speaker 4: You know, can you have a party that exists when
5:10
Speaker 4: half of it wan't it zero, half of it don't,
5:12
Speaker 4: half of it want mass migration, half of it don't.
5:14
Speaker 4: So that's the task of the leader and you know,
5:17
Speaker 4: we'll wait and see as to whether it can actually
5:19
Speaker 4: be fixed up.
5:22
Speaker 2: I think you just hit the nail on the head.
5:24
Speaker 2: And you've got too many within that party that have
5:28
Speaker 2: used this stain for working class Australians, people out in
5:32
Speaker 2: regional areas, people in the outer suburbs. They want to
5:35
Speaker 2: appeal to that till electorate almost exclusively, and those people
5:39
Speaker 2: within the party are why they're getting a primary vote
5:43
Speaker 2: of around fifteen percent. Right now, Dan, let's switch to Victoria.
5:47
Speaker 5: Now.
5:47
Speaker 2: The full extent of the alleged criminal activity within the
5:50
Speaker 2: CFMU has been revealed in a report by Jeffrey Watson
5:54
Speaker 2: sc among those who have benefited from corrupt conduct, systematic
5:59
Speaker 2: corrupt conduct, convicted and alleged killers employed as cfm A
6:04
Speaker 2: health and safety officers. Yes, the report also alleged outlaw
6:08
Speaker 2: motorcycle gangs were embedded in the cfm AU and we're
6:12
Speaker 2: using government building sites as drug distribution centers. The mass
6:16
Speaker 2: routing DAN is estimated to have cost Victorian taxpayers around
6:21
Speaker 2: fifteen billion dollars. Some are estimating the real figure is
6:25
Speaker 2: closer to thirty billion.
6:28
Speaker 3: Yeah.
6:28
Speaker 4: Well, the big build is a big rought, and we've
6:32
Speaker 4: known that for a long time. Now there is actually
6:35
Speaker 4: a smoking gun, or several smoking guns. It was always
6:38
Speaker 4: somewhat hard to establish, you know, without you know, in
6:44
Speaker 4: a sort of an objective way, the kind of behavior
6:47
Speaker 4: that was going on that most people knew that was
6:49
Speaker 4: going on, but it was never actually established with any
6:52
Speaker 4: evidence base. But now that is provided, I think this
6:55
Speaker 4: will be a turning point. You know, labor and Victoria
6:57
Speaker 4: has sort of gotten away with it for a pretty
6:59
Speaker 4: long time time, and that sort of the allegations of
7:01
Speaker 4: corruption have never really stuck fundamentally, But now that you've
7:07
Speaker 4: got an actual evidence base for it, I suspect this
7:11
Speaker 4: will be a turning point. It's taken far too long,
7:13
Speaker 4: and if nothing else, as you mentioned, the cost to
7:17
Speaker 4: taxpayers because a lot of these projects, well a lot
7:20
Speaker 4: of the projects are sort of necessary, the road projects
7:23
Speaker 4: and the bridges and tunnels are probably necessary infrastructure projects,
7:26
Speaker 4: but the premium, the cost premium that's put on them
7:29
Speaker 4: through doing work almost exclusively to CFMU, is unconscionable. So
7:34
Speaker 4: I think this is going to probably damage this into
7:36
Speaker 4: Allen and it may actually be the end of her
7:38
Speaker 4: as a result.
7:40
Speaker 2: Dan Wile, thank you for your time tonight. Joining me
7:43
Speaker 2: now is the author of international best sellers, including his
7:46
Speaker 2: latest work on democracies and death cults. Douglas Murray, I'm
7:51
Speaker 2: keen to get your thoughts on what's been happening in
7:53
Speaker 2: Australia this week with violent anti Israeli protests. But first
7:57
Speaker 2: let's start in New York, where the mayor is dodging
8:00
Speaker 2: blame for the mismanagement that is saying fifteen homeless people
8:04
Speaker 2: dying due to hypothermia. But Zoron Mamdani is a choosing
8:09
Speaker 2: to opine about immigration policy, and he believes we have
8:13
Speaker 2: lessons to learn from the prophet.
8:15
Speaker 6: And I consider my own faith. Islam a religion built
8:19
Speaker 6: upon a narrative of migration. The story of the Hedra
8:23
Speaker 6: reminds us the prophet Muhammad Sode Alali, who was seldom
8:27
Speaker 6: was a stranger too, who fled Mecca and was welcomed
8:30
Speaker 6: in Medina. Suda Nahal sixteen forty two tells us as
8:35
Speaker 6: for those who immigrated in the cause of a law,
8:37
Speaker 6: after being persecuted, we will surely bless them with a
8:40
Speaker 6: good home in this world. Or as the prophet Muhammad Salilali,
8:44
Speaker 6: who was seldom said, Islam began as something strange and
8:48
Speaker 6: will go back to being strange. So glad tidings to
8:51
Speaker 6: the strangers.
8:54
Speaker 2: Douglas, I feel like he left out a few pertinent
8:57
Speaker 2: facts there, like what happened in Medana. Islam spread from
9:04
Speaker 2: continent to continent, from Africa to Europe.
9:07
Speaker 1: There's quite a lot left out there, reader, isn't there?
9:10
Speaker 1: But I mean, firstly, it is rather strange hearing any politician,
9:17
Speaker 1: not least the mayor of New York talking like this.
9:21
Speaker 1: I mean, it's like a sermon really, And because of
9:26
Speaker 1: attitudes towards faith in America, like in most countries, we
9:31
Speaker 1: tend to keep personal faith out of politics, Zoramandani is
9:37
Speaker 1: clearly ostentatiously trying to introduce his faith into politics, and
9:43
Speaker 1: is doing so, of course, as we saw there, in
9:46
Speaker 1: a very sort of dishonest way. Frankly, it's not the
9:51
Speaker 1: case that the founder of Islam was just a sort
9:55
Speaker 1: of migrant roaming around the Arabian Peninsula, you know, cast
10:02
Speaker 1: out and you know, effectively sort of seeking to cross
10:06
Speaker 1: the southern border of the United States and do some
10:09
Speaker 1: gardening work or something. I don't it's it's just it's
10:14
Speaker 1: it's not just a dishonest but there's something slightly sinister
10:19
Speaker 1: about it, frankly, because, as you say, Rita, the actual
10:24
Speaker 1: story of the spread of Islam is is not one
10:29
Speaker 1: of a sort of peaceful caravan of people sort of
10:35
Speaker 1: crossing over a border and you know, asking if they
10:39
Speaker 1: if they can work off the books and you know,
10:43
Speaker 1: do a bit of delivery work. It's it's just just
10:46
Speaker 1: not the story. The story of Islam and it's founding
10:50
Speaker 1: was that it was spread by the sword, and so
10:54
Speaker 1: it's it's strange to hear a mayor of New York,
10:56
Speaker 1: or indeed any American politician talking like this, but particularly stranger.
11:01
Speaker 1: And they're obviously so deliberately leaving out every pertinent detail,
11:07
Speaker 1: and the.
11:08
Speaker 2: Crowd just laps it up. They just applause, no critical thinking.
11:12
Speaker 2: It's quite depressing. Now to Sydney, where we've had violent
11:17
Speaker 2: protests sparked by the visit of the Israeli President Isaac Herzog,
11:21
Speaker 2: who came to our country to mourn with the Jewish
11:24
Speaker 2: community after the Bondai terror attack. This is the welcome
11:29
Speaker 2: who received from a woman who was named Australian of
11:32
Speaker 2: the Year in twenty twenty one, Grace Tame. We have
11:35
Speaker 2: to continue to mobilize and we have to continue to globalize.
11:40
Speaker 6: Say it with me, from Gadigal to.
11:42
Speaker 2: Gaza, Globalize the inch.
11:44
Speaker 7: Of final won more time, from Gadigol.
11:48
Speaker 6: To Gaza, Globalize the Interfia.
11:52
Speaker 2: From Gadigol to Gaza, globalized into Fathera Douglas. There are
11:56
Speaker 2: calls for Grace Tame, who has been dubbed Australia's Greta Thunberg,
12:00
Speaker 2: to be stripped off a Australian of the Year honors.
12:04
Speaker 2: How do you see this episode in Australia this week?
12:08
Speaker 1: Well, first of all, it's worth I think for some
12:11
Speaker 1: of view as Rita and making it clear what the
12:14
Speaker 1: first word she said was, Gaddigal, as I understand it
12:19
Speaker 1: and as our Australian viewers might know, is an Aboriginal
12:23
Speaker 1: term for Sydney. So what Grace Tame seems to be saying,
12:29
Speaker 1: among other things, is that she doesn't want to refer
12:32
Speaker 1: to Sydney by its Australian name, and she sort of
12:38
Speaker 1: wants to go deep down, presumably into sort of you know,
12:43
Speaker 1: first Nations, you know, colonizing sort of rhetoric from the beginning.
12:49
Speaker 1: But what she's saying, if you take out that bit
12:51
Speaker 1: of a particular absurdity, what she's saying is from Sydney
12:55
Speaker 1: to Gaza, globalizing in to fada. Well, of course, only
13:01
Speaker 1: weeks ago we saw what that globalizing viantfada means in Sydney.
13:07
Speaker 1: It means massacring people on Bondai Beach, specifically targeting Jews
13:14
Speaker 1: and shooting them, including children and elderly women on Bondi
13:19
Speaker 1: Beach in Sydney. So there is no No, this isn't
13:24
Speaker 1: metaphor anymore. It's not some kind of you know, parable
13:30
Speaker 1: or something. That's what she's calling for. Knowingly, she's saying,
13:35
Speaker 1: let's have more of the shooting of young girls and
13:39
Speaker 1: elderly people and anyone that can be shot. I have
13:43
Speaker 1: to say I'm pretty startled. It takes quite a lot
13:47
Speaker 1: to shock me these days, but I'm pretty amazed that
13:51
Speaker 1: just weeks after the blood was on the sand of
13:55
Speaker 1: Bondai Beach, you have somebody, let alone, who's been honored
13:59
Speaker 1: by our Australia, actually calling for much more blood to
14:03
Speaker 1: be spilt. Of course, people like this always want a
14:08
Speaker 1: lot of blood to be spilt, so long as it's
14:10
Speaker 1: not their own. But I suppose Miss Tame just has
14:13
Speaker 1: to hope that the next gunman who comes along and
14:17
Speaker 1: starts massacring Australians missus her and her loved ones. I wonder,
14:22
Speaker 1: I wonder if she thought any of that through.
14:26
Speaker 2: I'm sure Grace Tame and her supporters that would be
14:29
Speaker 2: arguing that into fada simply means to shake off and
14:33
Speaker 2: to oppose tyranny, that it's not a call for violence.
14:36
Speaker 2: We've heard that argument, but we've also heard from the
14:39
Speaker 2: Jewish community, like you've just explained that they saw the
14:43
Speaker 2: Bondai terror attack as an example of globalizing the Intafada.
14:47
Speaker 1: So it is into farda. It into farda is an
14:51
Speaker 1: armed uprising. There have been two of them in recent
14:55
Speaker 1: decades in Israel. The only use of the term into
14:58
Speaker 1: Farda is describe the massacring of civilians, the blowing up
15:03
Speaker 1: of civilians on buses, the shooting of civilians in the stry.
15:06
Speaker 1: It isn't used in any other context. It only means
15:10
Speaker 1: that one thing. And I mean, I'm just, as I say,
15:15
Speaker 1: amazed that an Australian can be so unbelievably wicked in
15:22
Speaker 1: public and in front of a crowd who seemed to
15:24
Speaker 1: be wanting to join in that wickedness.
15:28
Speaker 2: Well, we also had Douglas politicians, including Greens and PS,
15:33
Speaker 2: objecting to this visit. Let's hear from Barbara Pocock should
15:39
Speaker 2: never have been invited to Australia a divisive visit, one
15:42
Speaker 2: that doesn't recognize his association with genocide. Douglas, what's your
15:47
Speaker 2: response to that argument that the president of Israel is
15:52
Speaker 2: complicit in genocide.
15:55
Speaker 1: First of all, the president in Israel is somebody who
15:59
Speaker 1: sits above politics, much like the king does in our
16:06
Speaker 1: own democracies. And secondly, of course, there hasn't been a
16:11
Speaker 1: genocide in Gaza. What there's been is a war that
16:15
Speaker 1: was started by Hamaz and some of the citizens of
16:18
Speaker 1: Gaza on October seventh, twenty twenty three. There hasn't been
16:22
Speaker 1: a genocide or anything like it. There's been a war.
16:27
Speaker 1: And when you hear these politicians trotting out these smears
16:33
Speaker 1: and these lies again you have to, like with the
16:36
Speaker 1: people who pretend they don't mean what they mean when
16:38
Speaker 1: they use intafada, you've got you've got to ask him
16:40
Speaker 1: if they really have thought through the consequences of pumping
16:44
Speaker 1: out these lies and untruths. If there were actually a
16:49
Speaker 1: genocide going on somewhere, if there was an actual attempt
16:52
Speaker 1: to completely eradicate an entire people and it had been
16:56
Speaker 1: going on, then that's one thing. But that's absolutely nothing
17:00
Speaker 1: like the war that's been going on that Hamaz started.
17:04
Speaker 1: So yes, I mean to make that claim is itself
17:09
Speaker 1: just unbelievably fallacious and erroneous, But to claim that the
17:16
Speaker 1: non political president of a country which has been at
17:20
Speaker 1: war for the last couple of years when he comes
17:26
Speaker 1: to Australia to mourn with terror victims in Australia should
17:32
Speaker 1: be treated with this barrage of lies and contempt and
17:38
Speaker 1: smear is really quite something. And always, as we know, Rita,
17:42
Speaker 1: as you and I have often said, always this comes
17:44
Speaker 1: from people who think that they're standing on the right
17:46
Speaker 1: side of history. You know, there they are standing screaming
17:50
Speaker 1: abuse at the Jews, and it's all still on the
17:55
Speaker 1: right side of history, calling for violence, calling for more
17:59
Speaker 1: inter farda more armed uprising. But it's always on the
18:02
Speaker 1: right side of history, isn't it. It's always in a
18:05
Speaker 1: nice and kind way, of course.
18:09
Speaker 2: And we don't see these people, whether in the US,
18:12
Speaker 2: the UK or here in Australia, protest against the Iranian regime.
18:17
Speaker 2: We haven't seen that at all from these leftist activists,
18:20
Speaker 2: not even as shocking reports come to light of the
18:24
Speaker 2: regime executing injured protesters in their hospital beds. The New
18:29
Speaker 2: York Post reports on horrifying footage being shed inside Iran
18:33
Speaker 2: of security forces raiding hospitals to look for those who
18:36
Speaker 2: were wounded during the protest. Douglas and the numbers killed
18:40
Speaker 2: now were not clear on them, but there are many
18:44
Speaker 2: tens of thousands.
18:47
Speaker 1: I think it's safe to say reach that there are
18:49
Speaker 1: certainly tens of thousands of casualties inside Iran caused by
18:55
Speaker 1: the regime, the victims being the Iranian people who have
19:00
Speaker 1: incredibly bravely turned out on the streets to object to
19:03
Speaker 1: the regime that's ruined the country of their birth since
19:07
Speaker 1: nineteen seventy nine. It's pretty amazing when you think about it,
19:11
Speaker 1: that in just a few weeks all those casualties have
19:16
Speaker 1: mounted up, and there's this silence. There's just this silence.
19:20
Speaker 1: You and I have commented on it before, Rita. Why
19:25
Speaker 1: is the silence there? Is it that Jews aren't involved?
19:29
Speaker 1: Is it that they can't blame Trump? Is it that
19:34
Speaker 1: there isn't that they can't see some kind of you know,
19:38
Speaker 1: decolonizing angle to this. You know, who knows, maybe their
19:43
Speaker 1: fatuous world views aren't actually applicable to the world. I mean,
19:50
Speaker 1: there's a thought. And so we have obscene things like
19:57
Speaker 1: commentators not just being silent on this, so not just
20:00
Speaker 1: protests as being signed on this, but actually we've seen
20:04
Speaker 1: in recent days various Islamists and others in the West
20:10
Speaker 1: attacking the brave critics of the Iranian revolutionary government. I
20:18
Speaker 1: mean it's actually, it's not just the critics of the
20:22
Speaker 1: government on the streets of Iranian cities. It's the critics
20:25
Speaker 1: of the Iranian government from Iran in cities like New
20:29
Speaker 1: York who are getting criticism. You know, if an ounce
20:33
Speaker 1: of that criticism went to the Ayatollah and his death
20:36
Speaker 1: squads and all of his goons from the Bassiege militia
20:40
Speaker 1: and elsewhere, who as you say, as a New York
20:42
Speaker 1: Post reported, and not just shooting people in the head
20:45
Speaker 1: in the streets and snipe sniping people in the streets,
20:48
Speaker 1: but going around and shooting them in their hospital beds.
20:51
Speaker 1: If an ounce of you know, condemnation came towards them,
20:59
Speaker 1: I mean, we'd noticed it, but it just it isn't
21:02
Speaker 1: The silence tells you almost everything.
21:05
Speaker 2: Frankly, it is And you're so right. This smear campaign
21:10
Speaker 2: against the people speaking out for the Uranian freedom fighters
21:14
Speaker 2: and even smearing people with inside Iran who are risking
21:18
Speaker 2: their lives protesting against this regime. The suggestion that this
21:22
Speaker 2: is some Western plot in some conspiracy by America and
21:26
Speaker 2: Israel to destabilize a regime like the use, as he explain,
21:31
Speaker 2: has destroyed that country since nineteen seventy nine. Now before
21:34
Speaker 2: you go, I saw this piece in The Independent yesterday
21:38
Speaker 2: arguing Douglas that the UK countryside is racist. The author argues,
21:43
Speaker 2: just like British towns and cities that have what she
21:46
Speaker 2: calls racist rights and flag campaigns, the British countryside is
21:50
Speaker 2: also racist in parts, And Douglas, you'll be happy to
21:53
Speaker 2: know the Starma government has been busy tackling this very
21:57
Speaker 2: serious issue and even commission to review into the matter.
22:04
Speaker 1: Yes, that's right. They have commissioned a review to find
22:09
Speaker 1: the English countryside guilty, specific guilty of the crime of racism.
22:16
Speaker 1: Among other things, the report says that if the countryside
22:20
Speaker 1: wants to remain relevant, it's very hard to say. If
22:25
Speaker 1: the countryside wants to remain relevant, it's got to diversify. Well,
22:30
Speaker 1: I'm not sure that the job of hills and fields
22:36
Speaker 1: is to be relevant. I don't think. I don't think
22:41
Speaker 1: that that its job is to sort of adapt to
22:44
Speaker 1: the zeitgeist of the era. I think its job is
22:47
Speaker 1: actually to remind us of the eternal and of what
22:51
Speaker 1: is constant. If you kept trying to trying to make
22:55
Speaker 1: the countryside relevant, what would you do sort of make
22:57
Speaker 1: sure you did lots of pride color maybe across corn fields.
23:02
Speaker 1: Maybe you could grow your crops in the color of
23:05
Speaker 1: the Progress flag or something like that. But this is
23:09
Speaker 1: all just preposterous. And as I actually said in a
23:12
Speaker 1: piece in the Spectator last week, just imagine I mean,
23:16
Speaker 1: I laugh at this because otherwise you'd weep. But just
23:19
Speaker 1: imagine this is this England in the Britain in the
23:22
Speaker 1: twenty first century wants to find itself guilty of absolutely everything.
23:27
Speaker 1: We've got some islands and take us island. Let's give
23:30
Speaker 1: them away. We've got beautiful buildings, let's say that they
23:34
Speaker 1: were built because of slavery. We've got wonderful cities, Let's
23:37
Speaker 1: pretend they're the result of empire and nothing else. We've
23:41
Speaker 1: got beautiful countryside. Let's call it racist. And this comes
23:46
Speaker 1: from government departments.
23:48
Speaker 2: And the one thing I always.
23:50
Speaker 1: Ask about this is effectually the the what's you know,
23:54
Speaker 1: the source of the goose, source of the gander, you know,
23:59
Speaker 1: would be rita any other scenario where it would be
24:05
Speaker 1: deemed acceptable to go to a country's natural place, it's nature,
24:13
Speaker 1: and say that it was racist and claim that it
24:17
Speaker 1: was racist. Because I don't know. One of the things
24:19
Speaker 1: is that there aren't enough. I think there aren't enough
24:22
Speaker 1: Muslims at the pubs in the English countryside or something. Well,
24:26
Speaker 1: well good luck forcing that one.
24:29
Speaker 3: There aren't.
24:31
Speaker 1: I mean, but just as I say, just just just
24:33
Speaker 1: try this anywhere else. I mean, you know, if you
24:36
Speaker 1: went to Pakistan wandered into the beautiful Pakistani countryside and said,
24:42
Speaker 1: I'm terribly sorry, but this isn't very diverse chaps. We're
24:45
Speaker 1: going to bring a whole load of people from Wales
24:48
Speaker 1: because you haven't got any Welsh representation and it's really
24:53
Speaker 1: not up to scratch. Until you do, people would think
24:55
Speaker 1: you were barmy. They would think you were completely crazy
24:59
Speaker 1: because you would to be. So why why we put
25:03
Speaker 1: up with this? I just don't know.
25:07
Speaker 2: The self loathing is reaching new heights in the UK.
25:12
Speaker 2: Really is quite astonishing to be attacking your natural features,
25:16
Speaker 2: those xenophobe extreams and mountains. Douglas Murray, hits always a pleasure.
25:23
Speaker 2: Great to see you. Rita still ta karma, Lefty is
25:27
Speaker 2: losing ed and the latest from the US. Plus we'll
25:31
Speaker 2: look at the latest mass shooting attributed to a transgender suspect.
25:36
Speaker 2: Army horror, Witz joins me. Next, you're watching the Reader
25:50
Speaker 2: Panny Show, and it's time for left is losing it.
25:54
Speaker 2: So much of what is wrong in the West can
25:56
Speaker 2: be traced back to the warp thinking, the suicidally stupid
26:00
Speaker 2: self loathing of the awfuls. That's the affluent white female leftist,
26:05
Speaker 2: the Karens, who not only vote left, but they're determined
26:09
Speaker 2: to make a nuisance of themselves pushing their twisted ideology.
26:13
Speaker 2: Even a yoga studio is not safe from the madness.
26:17
Speaker 2: Watch these mad banshees attack some poor workers at a
26:21
Speaker 2: Minneapolis yoga studio because they want these workers to issue
26:27
Speaker 2: formal statements against ICE, US Immigration and Customs enforcement.
26:33
Speaker 8: Cool.
26:33
Speaker 7: So I'm out loud for the camera for all my
26:35
Speaker 7: viewers hear it. Why are you being silent? Let's leat
26:40
Speaker 7: hear it. Deletey loud and proud, baby. You want to
26:42
Speaker 7: say it, you can say it. Why? Yeah, Okay, let's go.
26:49
Speaker 7: Let's an am and a wealth You should have well
26:52
Speaker 7: rehearsed corporate action and words ready to go.
26:55
Speaker 2: Yes, the poor workers at the yoga studio must issue
26:59
Speaker 2: state against ICE. Now, let's hear it from the crazy
27:03
Speaker 2: Karen who let that.
27:05
Speaker 7: Protest because I know that the set people don't make
27:07
Speaker 7: a lot of money, and I always want to be
27:10
Speaker 7: able to support people who have to clean up. One
27:14
Speaker 7: of the people in the class said to me, you
27:16
Speaker 7: know what, we shouldn't put our weights away today. We
27:18
Speaker 7: should left corporate cleaning it up, since they're here to
27:20
Speaker 7: see how everything is.
27:21
Speaker 9: And that's exactly what we did.
27:23
Speaker 7: So rather than putting our weights back and organizing the
27:25
Speaker 7: gub normally what, we just left them on the floor.
27:28
Speaker 2: Yes, a brave and stunning stand by the yoga mom's there,
27:32
Speaker 2: And instead of standing up for their workers, that studio
27:36
Speaker 2: has caved into the mob and is now putting up
27:39
Speaker 2: anti ICE signs in its studios in Minneapolis. Absolutely pathetic.
27:44
Speaker 2: Let's check in now on an activist using the medium
27:48
Speaker 2: of dance and knitted jumpers to protest against President Trump
27:52
Speaker 2: and Ice.
28:05
Speaker 3: Wow.
28:05
Speaker 2: I can't say how President Trump can pulsibly recover from that.
28:10
Speaker 2: Let's hear now from Sunny Houstin, the co host of
28:13
Speaker 2: the View, to make some incredible claims here about the
28:17
Speaker 2: world's richest man in l.
28:19
Speaker 10: Musk I think we need to call a thing a
28:21
Speaker 10: thing when we're talking about someone like Elon Musk. He
28:25
Speaker 10: has trafficked in white supremacy on the Internet, on social media,
28:30
Speaker 10: on x for quite some time. He sparked some controversy
28:34
Speaker 10: just on January eighth, calling for white solidarity and warning
28:37
Speaker 10: that white men would be slaughtered if they became a minority.
28:40
Speaker 10: He also posted in September that white people are rapidly
28:43
Speaker 10: diminishing minority of the global population, and in December he
28:47
Speaker 10: said that the South African government is super racist against
28:49
Speaker 10: anyone who isn't black. And he has also said that
28:52
Speaker 10: he is not African, that he is actually of British
28:54
Speaker 10: and English descent, and so we know what this is.
28:58
Speaker 10: He is a white supremacist. In my view, he is
29:00
Speaker 10: a racist.
29:02
Speaker 2: So Elon Musk is a racist and a white supremacist
29:06
Speaker 2: for simply noting facts, facts that Sonny does not like.
29:11
Speaker 2: I got to say one thing to Sonny Austin. It's
29:14
Speaker 2: not Elon Musk whose family has a history of being
29:17
Speaker 2: slave owners.
29:19
Speaker 10: Wow, I'm a little bit in shock. I just always
29:24
Speaker 10: thought of myself as Puerto Rican, you know, half Puerto Rican.
29:28
Speaker 10: I didn't think I was. My family was originally from
29:32
Speaker 10: Spain and slaveholders.
29:36
Speaker 2: Let's hear now from a transactivist who thinks the real victim,
29:40
Speaker 2: the first victim of a horrific mass shooting in Canada
29:45
Speaker 2: is the killer himself. Because the killer was trans.
29:50
Speaker 1: The first victim of this tragedy was the shooter. And
29:59
Speaker 1: you can disagree want that person did not just decide
30:05
Speaker 1: one day that it was the day. It was the
30:10
Speaker 1: day that they could not take it any longer.
30:15
Speaker 2: Let's bring in filmmaker and commentator Army Horoiz. Army, this
30:19
Speaker 2: is the latest mass shooting attributed to a trans or
30:23
Speaker 2: non binary killer, or, as the Canadian authorities call him,
30:27
Speaker 2: the gun person. God forbid they should misgender a mass killer.
30:33
Speaker 9: That includes the deceased gunperson.
30:35
Speaker 11: Okay, and then separately, do you know the gun person's
30:38
Speaker 11: relationship to Army?
30:40
Speaker 2: What more do we know about this gunman, Jesse van
30:43
Speaker 2: Rutzla and this horrific crime.
30:47
Speaker 11: Uh yeah, you stole one of my notes. I mean
30:50
Speaker 11: how orwellian gun person? That is God, that is chilling
30:54
Speaker 11: and crazy. Yes, we know this way transperson. First of all,
30:59
Speaker 11: look as we now have to say, you know, we
31:01
Speaker 11: talk about gun laws and what their effects are ultimately
31:04
Speaker 11: on on shootings. Canada is one of the stricts of
31:07
Speaker 11: gun laws certainly in the world, and yet this is
31:11
Speaker 11: a mass shooting that we've had. But look, if if
31:16
Speaker 11: the gunman, we know, if the gunman wasn't a straight
31:19
Speaker 11: white male, it's the job the authorities to to hide
31:25
Speaker 11: their identity. That's the way it works, right, it's the
31:27
Speaker 11: straight white male will identify him all the livelong day.
31:30
Speaker 11: But if it's not. So there's a trans person, we're
31:33
Speaker 11: gonna do whatever we can to obscure what.
31:35
Speaker 3: The identity is.
31:36
Speaker 11: Right, And look, you know, I had, you know, like
31:40
Speaker 11: I always do, I do. I do show prep, and
31:42
Speaker 11: I went in my research with AI and we always
31:46
Speaker 11: have those fun AI stories, And I asked, well, what
31:48
Speaker 11: percent of school shootings we've had in the last five
31:52
Speaker 11: years have been from trans people?
31:54
Speaker 3: And refused to give me a number. It kept saying
31:56
Speaker 3: it's a very very low number. I swear it would not.
32:00
Speaker 11: I had to list every single one of the last
32:03
Speaker 11: five years mass school shootings and individually go through them.
32:07
Speaker 3: And what's the answer.
32:08
Speaker 11: There's been five last five years and to the five
32:11
Speaker 11: forty percent have been people where trans or non binary.
32:15
Speaker 9: We well, since we.
32:18
Speaker 2: Last talked about this, I went and check that out
32:21
Speaker 2: for myself. I asked the not just chat GPT, but
32:26
Speaker 2: GROCK and ask precisely what you were talking about, to
32:30
Speaker 2: list the number of mass shootings in the recent years
32:33
Speaker 2: that have involved a trans shooter or a non binary shooter,
32:38
Speaker 2: and it just refuses to do it. When you then
32:41
Speaker 2: give it a number of events, it will acknowledge it
32:45
Speaker 2: and repeat those to you, but it will not compile
32:48
Speaker 2: a list, which is extraordinary because I could ask it
32:51
Speaker 2: to compile any other sort of list and it will
32:54
Speaker 2: normally do it. But there is just this determination not
32:57
Speaker 2: to acknowledge that perhaps there is a problem here. Now,
33:01
Speaker 2: let's move along to the House of Representatives today passing
33:05
Speaker 2: a massive election integrity bill two hundred and eighteen to
33:09
Speaker 2: two hundred and thirteen votes. We've talked about this before, Army,
33:13
Speaker 2: about how popular this policy is. Around eighty five percent
33:16
Speaker 2: of Americans back voter ID, but the Democrats continue to
33:21
Speaker 2: oppose it. They voted against the Save America Act.
33:25
Speaker 11: Army, Yeah, and this happens over and over and over again.
33:30
Speaker 11: All the Democrats vot it voted against it in the
33:34
Speaker 11: House save one.
33:36
Speaker 3: Look, there's a.
33:36
Speaker 11: Reason why they continue to push universal mail and balloting
33:40
Speaker 11: and ballot harvesting and voting all year long, and against
33:44
Speaker 11: voter ID and by the way, also voting for non
33:49
Speaker 11: citizens to vote. I know, I know, they all say
33:52
Speaker 11: that's not true, that's a scurrelous light. It absolutely, one
33:56
Speaker 11: hundred percent is true. In New York, in San Francisco,
34:01
Speaker 11: in DC and other cities, they have voted to have
34:06
Speaker 11: non citizens vote.
34:08
Speaker 3: Okay, I'm sorry, that's the reality.
34:10
Speaker 11: They want to try to get away from that all
34:12
Speaker 11: they want, but it's just not possible.
34:14
Speaker 3: Lookrita, yesterday.
34:15
Speaker 11: Sorry, last week, we talked about the reason why I
34:19
Speaker 11: made that voter ID video because somebody voted.
34:22
Speaker 3: For my dad.
34:23
Speaker 11: What I didn't tell you the second part of that story,
34:25
Speaker 11: which ties into this, is that I took a photo
34:28
Speaker 11: of that and I sent that to the California Board
34:30
Speaker 11: of Elections.
34:31
Speaker 3: I go, look, you claim there's no voter fraud.
34:33
Speaker 11: Here is an absolute, clear indication of voter fraud. You
34:37
Speaker 11: know how quickly they got back to me. They never
34:40
Speaker 11: gone back to me. They don't care, they don't want
34:42
Speaker 11: to know. That's the reality. Look, Reita, in virtually every
34:47
Speaker 11: Western European country you have to show ID to votes.
34:52
Speaker 11: That's just part of what it is. They don't want
34:55
Speaker 11: to safeguard elections because they call safeguarding elections voter suppression
35:00
Speaker 11: the Democratic Party. Okay, the reality is they want this
35:04
Speaker 11: problematic issue to be in our vote because they feel whatever,
35:08
Speaker 11: you know, we can go into. That's a whole different
35:09
Speaker 11: discussion of why they don't want voter integrity. I think
35:13
Speaker 11: they think it's going to help elect Democrats. Okay, and
35:16
Speaker 11: this reader is the party.
35:18
Speaker 2: Only answer, Army, that's the only answer. Why else would
35:22
Speaker 2: you campaign against vote against the policy. The poll after
35:27
Speaker 2: poll shows around eighty five percent of Americans back and
35:31
Speaker 2: we brought you the CNN coverage of that issue last week.
35:35
Speaker 2: The polling on this is clear. This is almost it's
35:38
Speaker 2: not even an eighty twenty issue. It's close to a
35:40
Speaker 2: ninety ten issue. And yet the Democrats are staunchly against
35:45
Speaker 2: voter id Now talking about Democrats, Democrat heartland of California
35:50
Speaker 2: has lost another billionaire. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg is fleeing
35:56
Speaker 2: Gavin Newsom's California and heading to Florida. Army. He has
36:00
Speaker 2: purchased a massive waterfront mansion in Miami and he's expected
36:05
Speaker 2: to live in it. It's not supposed to be a
36:06
Speaker 2: holiday home. They're expecting him to move to the Red
36:09
Speaker 2: State in April. Why are so many people living California
36:14
Speaker 2: leaving California for places like Florida and Texas and Tennessee.
36:19
Speaker 2: It's a bit of a theme there.
36:22
Speaker 3: Yeah, I can't tell if that's a retorical question or
36:24
Speaker 3: a real question.
36:24
Speaker 4: Reader.
36:26
Speaker 3: I mean, California is there. It's unbelooked. Here's the data. Okay.
36:35
Speaker 11: In the last fifteen years, sorry, last ten years, ten
36:39
Speaker 11: million people have left California, including dozens of billionaires like
36:46
Speaker 11: Mark Zuckerberg, taking with them all their job creation, all
36:50
Speaker 11: their innovation. It's all going out the door to the
36:52
Speaker 11: states who are welcoming people who want to create wealth.
36:56
Speaker 3: Okay, not California. You know.
36:59
Speaker 11: The greatest stat of all is that if you want
37:01
Speaker 11: to rent a U haul one way from California to Texas,
37:05
Speaker 11: it is four times more expensive in that direction than
37:09
Speaker 11: Texas coming back.
37:10
Speaker 3: To because no one is doing that. Look, this hurts
37:13
Speaker 3: my heart, it does. As you know.
37:16
Speaker 11: I am a long time I live in New York,
37:18
Speaker 11: but I am a la boy. I am a California
37:22
Speaker 11: boy at heart, Okay, and it.
37:24
Speaker 3: Pains me to know and to see.
37:28
Speaker 11: The destruction of my state, and one of the main
37:32
Speaker 11: drivers of the ultra wealthy leaving is because they've been
37:35
Speaker 11: pushing and now they're about to possibly pass a five
37:39
Speaker 11: percent wealth tax on the ultra ridge.
37:42
Speaker 3: Now, to be clear, what that is.
37:44
Speaker 11: You're talking about real estate holdings for businesses. You're talking
37:47
Speaker 11: about owning the ownership of businesses, and you're talking about
37:50
Speaker 11: stock portfolios. And for those who don't understand what that means,
37:53
Speaker 11: that's not an extra five percent tax on your earnings.
37:56
Speaker 11: What that means is if you own a business that
37:59
Speaker 11: you haven't realized, it's gains because you're pouring all the
38:01
Speaker 11: money back of the business. If the if the business
38:04
Speaker 11: valued at a billion.
38:06
Speaker 3: Dollars right now. I was told there wasn't going to
38:08
Speaker 3: be any math on this on this on this interview,
38:10
Speaker 3: but I guess there's going to be.
38:12
Speaker 11: You're talking about five You're talking about tens of millions
38:16
Speaker 11: of dollars that you have to pay because you have
38:19
Speaker 11: a business, or if you have stockholders you haven't if
38:22
Speaker 11: you haven't realized the gays in your stock.
38:24
Speaker 3: It doesn't matter. If you don't have that money, you.
38:26
Speaker 11: Have to pay that in taxes. No one could do that, Okay,
38:29
Speaker 11: that's it's a horrific albatross to have on you. And
38:32
Speaker 11: what that has done is driven people away. Now they've
38:35
Speaker 11: tried well taxes all over the world and they have
38:37
Speaker 11: all failed spectacularly.
38:39
Speaker 3: Okay.
38:41
Speaker 11: And to be clear again, you know the witch don't
38:43
Speaker 11: pay their fair share, right, how often do you hear that?
38:46
Speaker 3: Okay?
38:46
Speaker 11: Couple of statistics which I think is really really helpful
38:49
Speaker 11: here is that the top up one percent. I'm gonna
38:52
Speaker 11: read it the nose because these numbers are important. The
38:55
Speaker 11: top one percent of earners, right, they pay forty percent
38:59
Speaker 11: of all They earn twenty percent of all earnings, yet.
39:02
Speaker 3: Pay forty percent.
39:04
Speaker 11: The bottom fifty percent pay three percent of all taxes
39:09
Speaker 11: but earn thirteen percent. Okay, the bottom fIF I'm sorry
39:13
Speaker 11: these stats, but they're important. The bottom fifty percent pay
39:17
Speaker 11: four percent of their income in taxes, okay, and the
39:19
Speaker 11: top one percent they pay twenty seven percent of their
39:22
Speaker 11: income that they get in taxes. So you tell me
39:25
Speaker 11: the original p the fairst year. The rich are carrying
39:28
Speaker 11: this country, okay. And we are doing is you're trying
39:31
Speaker 11: to make them flee and leave. And by the way,
39:35
Speaker 11: if it is writ large across the country, they're going
39:37
Speaker 11: to leave the country also because they just simply can't
39:39
Speaker 11: afford to do.
39:40
Speaker 2: It as long as when they move to those red states,
39:44
Speaker 2: and we're seeing that similar trend from New York as
39:47
Speaker 2: well to places like Texas and Florida and Tennessee. Just
39:51
Speaker 2: don't keep voting the same way that you have because
39:53
Speaker 2: a lot of these people fleeing California keep voting Democrat
39:59
Speaker 2: in their new home state. Army Horowitz, thank you so
40:02
Speaker 2: much for your time tonight.
40:03
Speaker 3: Always a pleasure still to come.
40:06
Speaker 2: An outrageous cheating scandal at the Winter Olympics. Kinsey Schofield
40:12
Speaker 2: has the details. Welcome back joining me now, celebrity and
40:25
Speaker 2: royal commentator Kinsey Schofield. Kinsey, Let's start with Prince Harry.
40:30
Speaker 2: An insider has confirmed to Royal expert Rob Shooter that
40:34
Speaker 2: Prince Harry is now charging a small fee of fifty
40:38
Speaker 2: thousand US. Doesn't sound small, but it is for a prince.
40:43
Speaker 2: This is for speaking appearances. Is a far cry from
40:46
Speaker 2: the millions he was charging per speech when he and
40:50
Speaker 2: Megan ditch the royal family back in twenty twenty. It
40:53
Speaker 2: sounds like the Dukes rivers of gold have dried up Kinsey.
40:58
Speaker 9: I mean, actions have consequences.
41:00
Speaker 5: I really have a hard time taking someone seriously that
41:02
Speaker 5: quits nearly everything he starts, doesn't get along with anyone
41:06
Speaker 5: in his family, and casually and enthusiastically discusses their drug use.
41:11
Speaker 9: Truly, what does Prince Harry bring to the table.
41:14
Speaker 5: I mean it's that royal proximity, which, thanks to Jeffrey Epstein,
41:18
Speaker 5: has even taken a hit.
41:19
Speaker 9: I'm surprised anyone would pay him anything.
41:21
Speaker 2: Seashells Now Historian author Andrew Lowdie has said that King
41:29
Speaker 2: Charles should abdicate and hand the throne over to Prince
41:32
Speaker 2: William to save the monarchy and wipe the slate clean
41:37
Speaker 2: amid the continuing fallout from the Epstein files. Here is
41:40
Speaker 2: what he had to say.
41:41
Speaker 1: Do you think that the clamor could literally end King
41:47
Speaker 1: Charles's reign?
41:48
Speaker 8: Yes, I think it could. I mean, I think they
41:50
Speaker 8: just keep that. They seem unable to learn the lessons
41:53
Speaker 8: of the past. They've tried to shut the story down
41:55
Speaker 8: for years, to the extent of issuing legal threats against journalists,
41:59
Speaker 8: strong on pressure to deny them access to royal interviews, etc.
42:04
Speaker 8: So the King has known about this. The Queen protected Andrew.
42:07
Speaker 8: The easiest thing would be for the king to abdicate Kindzy.
42:11
Speaker 2: There is widespread dissatisfaction with how the palace has dealt
42:15
Speaker 2: with this. They've known about some of these allegations for
42:19
Speaker 2: around fifteen years or more.
42:23
Speaker 9: You're right, I mean people are very angry.
42:26
Speaker 5: There are certain people within the palace that have known
42:29
Speaker 5: about the allegations for quite some time. But are those
42:33
Speaker 5: people angry with the appropriate monarch. I spoke to Tom
42:36
Speaker 5: Bauer today, author of Rebel Prince, about King Charles, who
42:40
Speaker 5: told me that Charles has never gotten along with Andrew.
42:42
Speaker 5: They were never close. They would he would have no
42:46
Speaker 5: reason to know what Andrew was up to behind closed doors,
42:50
Speaker 5: who he was associating with. This is an inherited mess,
42:54
Speaker 5: and the queen's advisors should have done a better job
42:56
Speaker 5: of protecting the future of the monarchy by being more
42:59
Speaker 5: rooe flits towards Andrew sooner.
43:01
Speaker 9: I really have sympathy for the king here.
43:05
Speaker 2: You would think the future king would be briefed about
43:09
Speaker 2: these sorts of allegations. If people were coming forward and
43:13
Speaker 2: threatening legal action. We're saying these rumors were circulating, surely
43:19
Speaker 2: the future monarch would be advised, given that at some
43:23
Speaker 2: point they're going to be taking on this responsibility, it
43:27
Speaker 2: seems a very bizarre way of running things at the Palace.
43:31
Speaker 2: Joe Rogan, on the other hand, has revealed that in
43:33
Speaker 2: twenty seventeen, he received an unwonted invitation to meet Jeffrey
43:38
Speaker 2: Epstein via one of the guests on his show. Here
43:41
Speaker 2: he is discussing what happened with Cheryl Hines.
43:47
Speaker 6: I'm in the files for not going.
43:48
Speaker 9: Jeffrey Epstein was trying to meet with me. This was
43:50
Speaker 9: like twenty seventeen.
43:51
Speaker 6: One of my guests was trying to get me to
43:53
Speaker 6: meet him. I was like, are you high?
43:55
Speaker 11: What are you talking about?
43:58
Speaker 2: Joe Rogan is a long from the former Prince Andrew.
44:02
Speaker 2: He could not be tempted to meet with Epstein, Kinsey,
44:06
Speaker 2: I don't think Joe Rogan is the type of man
44:08
Speaker 2: who can be bought or susceptible to the likes of
44:13
Speaker 2: Jeffrey Epstein.
44:15
Speaker 5: Yeah, and this is just a friendly reminder that just
44:17
Speaker 5: because someone is mentioned within the dog email drop, it
44:20
Speaker 5: doesn't mean they're actually guilty of anything Epstein related.
44:24
Speaker 9: You know, he was pursuing a relationship with Rogan.
44:27
Speaker 5: Rogan wasn't interested and Rogan is there still name dropped.
44:31
Speaker 5: I'm so glad he told that story to put that
44:34
Speaker 5: distance between him and the convicted sex offender, because some
44:37
Speaker 5: people can't separate fact from fiction, and these documents have
44:40
Speaker 5: made people crazy.
44:44
Speaker 2: Absolutely, and the same you could argue for Donald Trump,
44:47
Speaker 2: his name's in the files, but it's in the files
44:50
Speaker 2: confirming that he was talking to authorities about Jeffrey Epstein
44:55
Speaker 2: and Gilain Maxwell, encouraging them to investigate and charge them.
45:00
Speaker 2: This was before Jeffrey Epstein was convicted of being a pedophile. Okay, Kinzy,
45:05
Speaker 2: let's talk about the Winter Olympics and nouieg and biathletes
45:09
Speaker 2: Sterla home leg Grid has caused quite a stir after
45:13
Speaker 2: publicly and tearfully admitting to cheating on his girlfriend following
45:18
Speaker 2: his bronze medal win. He had plenty to say, Kinzy,
45:23
Speaker 2: do we know much more about the status of this
45:26
Speaker 2: relationship as the ex girlfriend taken him back?
45:30
Speaker 9: Absolutely not.
45:31
Speaker 5: She's not buying the grand gesture the Olympic medalists. Axe
45:35
Speaker 5: says it's hard to forgive after his cheating, accusing him
45:39
Speaker 5: of turning their break up into an Olympic spectacle. According
45:42
Speaker 5: to the tabloid Piji that spoke to her, she stressed
45:45
Speaker 5: she wanted to remain anonymous.
45:47
Speaker 9: She says even a.
45:48
Speaker 5: Worldwide declaration of love isn't enough to repair the betrayal.
45:55
Speaker 3: Good on her.
45:56
Speaker 2: I've got to say, I don't know who this woman is,
45:58
Speaker 2: but I am a fan and I had to look
46:01
Speaker 2: online at some of the commentary, and I've got to
46:05
Speaker 2: say the Sisterhood are telling her to stay away because
46:08
Speaker 2: this guy could not stay faithful Kinsey for even three months.
46:12
Speaker 2: He explained in depth what happened here. Apparently met the
46:15
Speaker 2: love of his life six months ago, cheated with her,
46:18
Speaker 2: on her within three months, and she kicked him to
46:22
Speaker 2: the curb. Now, I want to ask you about the
46:25
Speaker 2: TV ratings around the Super Bowl. We heard a lot
46:28
Speaker 2: of fake news about it being the most watched halftime
46:31
Speaker 2: show ever, but that doesn't seem to be accurate because
46:35
Speaker 2: it seems to be quite a dip in the audience numbers.
46:38
Speaker 2: Nearly ten million people stopped watching the Super Bowl during
46:43
Speaker 2: the halftime show. Tell me about what these figures reveal, Kinsey.
46:49
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean the halftime show fumbled some, but TV
46:52
Speaker 5: specifically reports only twenty six point five million Households watch
46:56
Speaker 5: down thirty nine percent from last year's Kendrick Lamorrisat. Footage
47:00
Speaker 5: from inside the stadium, which I know you've seen on
47:02
Speaker 5: social media, shows a crowd that appeared very underwhelmed, and
47:07
Speaker 5: analysts noted viewership dropped to eighty eight percent during the performance,
47:11
Speaker 5: suggesting a notable chunk of the audience tuned out. And
47:14
Speaker 5: that's one of many organizers of these types of statistics.
47:19
Speaker 5: I just think it's the most significant one now.
47:23
Speaker 2: Kinsey Jill Zarin, I think that's her. Hey, you pronounce
47:27
Speaker 2: her and I've never heard of her, I've got to say.
47:28
Speaker 2: But she was left stunned by her sudden firing from
47:33
Speaker 2: A's upcoming reunion series The Golden Life, after she savage
47:38
Speaker 2: bad Buddies super Bowl performance, branding it the worst halftime show. Ever,
47:44
Speaker 2: how can that get you sacked? Surely you are entitled
47:47
Speaker 2: to that opinion.
47:49
Speaker 5: Yeah, and keep in mind, this new e show is
47:52
Speaker 5: a basically it's a reboot of the Housewives from Bravo.
47:57
Speaker 5: I'm actually pretty shocked by this story. Reality housewives aren't
48:00
Speaker 5: necessarily known for socially acceptable behavior.
48:03
Speaker 9: These are the same women that flip dinner tables.
48:05
Speaker 5: Over and a source close to Jill asked, if someone
48:09
Speaker 5: was offended, why couldn't this have been a teachable moment
48:12
Speaker 5: for the program? Why couldn't this have been a storyline?
48:14
Speaker 5: I completely agree. We don't debate anymore. That's not healthy.
48:18
Speaker 5: This woman was just fired for saying what half the
48:21
Speaker 5: country was complaining about, and I think it will hurt
48:24
Speaker 5: this reboot.
48:26
Speaker 2: Well, if it's the same mob behind the Housewives franchise,
48:30
Speaker 2: I'm not shocked because they are super woke, super left,
48:35
Speaker 2: and obviously they don't tolerate a diversity of views. Kinsey Schofield,
48:39
Speaker 2: thank you so much for your time tonight, and that's
48:42
Speaker 2: all the time we have. Don't go anywhere. Newsnight is
48:46
Speaker 2: up next
