Speaker 1: On scor lids Ostrodia.
0:05
Speaker 2: This is the Wader Panalty Show.
0:09
Speaker 3: Good evening and welcome to the readA Panety Show. Coming
0:12
Speaker 3: up tonight, the debt riddled Victorian government imposes another crippling
0:17
Speaker 3: tax on propertyholders dan while we'll be here to discuss
0:20
Speaker 3: the day's top headlines, including the impact of the Albanza
0:24
Speaker 3: government's plan tax on unrealized games. Josh Hammer will join
0:28
Speaker 3: me with the latest from the US, including the curious
0:31
Speaker 3: timing of Joe Biden's cancer diagnosis, and later in the
0:35
Speaker 3: hour Kins's Scofield we'll be here with celebrity and world news,
0:40
Speaker 3: including Megan Markle's popularity pummitting to a new low. And
0:44
Speaker 3: we never forget Left is losing it tonight, the race
0:47
Speaker 3: obsessed Left object to a few dozen Afrikaners being granted
0:52
Speaker 3: asylum in America.
0:54
Speaker 4: We can't be ourselves in the Episcopal Church and take
0:57
Speaker 4: the step of resettling white Africaners from stuf North Africa.
1:01
Speaker 4: Our church has a long commitment to racial justice and reconciliation.
1:07
Speaker 3: But First Liberal leader Susan Lees under mounting pressure to
1:10
Speaker 3: drop the net zero policy negotiated by Scott Morrison with
1:14
Speaker 3: the Nationals in twenty twenty one as the party seeks
1:17
Speaker 3: to forge a new path forward. The Australian newspaper revealing
1:20
Speaker 3: today that both the Liberal and National Party rooms are
1:24
Speaker 3: divided over their commitments to net zero and energy policies.
1:28
Speaker 3: Joining me now for more on this is Deputy Executive
1:31
Speaker 3: Director of the Institute of Public Affairs, Dan Wild. Dan.
1:35
Speaker 3: The Coalition adopted net zero in twenty twenty one and
1:39
Speaker 3: since then they've suffered two devastating election losses. Do you
1:44
Speaker 3: see a link between those two events?
1:49
Speaker 5: Yeah, net zero is a vote loser. Time to try
1:53
Speaker 5: something different. You know, you and I have discussed the
1:56
Speaker 5: many and varied economic and social consequences of net zero
2:00
Speaker 5: to Australia talking about the Liberal Party. Though obviously net
2:04
Speaker 5: zero is inconsistent with Liberal values. It enables a massive
2:10
Speaker 5: expansion to government bureaucracy to interfere in almost every single
2:15
Speaker 5: aspect of our lives, whether it's the food we can eat,
2:18
Speaker 5: the cars we can drive, the houses we can live in,
2:21
Speaker 5: the kind of industries that we can have in our economy.
2:25
Speaker 5: So it's inconsistent with any ethos of smaller government. It's
2:28
Speaker 5: also a threat to our national sovereignty because it requires
2:31
Speaker 5: us to import foreign technology, including from China, into Australia,
2:36
Speaker 5: and it's also a massive tax on working Australians when
2:39
Speaker 5: you look at how energy bills are going up and
2:41
Speaker 5: the cost of living is going up, which is primarily
2:44
Speaker 5: driven by energy costs. So on any account, of course,
2:47
Speaker 5: the Liberal Party should be dumping net zero.
2:51
Speaker 3: You're a candidate at the recent election in a safe
2:54
Speaker 3: labor seed. Did you, as a Liberal candidate have any
2:59
Speaker 3: input into any policy into the net zero position?
3:06
Speaker 5: Not at a central level, reader, I mean, I advocated
3:09
Speaker 5: the cause on the ground. But you know one thing
3:11
Speaker 5: I can tell you, particularly in out of suburban electorates
3:14
Speaker 5: such as the one I stood for, is that not
3:17
Speaker 5: one single person came up to me and asked me
3:20
Speaker 5: how is Australia going in meeting our nationally determined contribution
3:24
Speaker 5: to cutor additions to net zero by twenty fifty under
3:27
Speaker 5: the Paris Climate Agreement. Funnily enough, that wasn't raised even
3:30
Speaker 5: once Rita. It might be hard to believe, but you know,
3:33
Speaker 5: Australians are just over the climate fanaticism and one a
3:37
Speaker 5: government which is focused on the bottom line, not on
3:40
Speaker 5: bureaucrats in Brussels.
3:44
Speaker 3: I just can't understand the coalition sticking with this policy.
3:49
Speaker 3: I said it all throughout this year during the election campaign.
3:53
Speaker 3: The last time they fought an election on this issue,
3:56
Speaker 3: they won the unwinnable election back in twenty nineteen, and
4:00
Speaker 3: they signed up to zero devastating loss. Devastating loss again.
4:05
Speaker 3: And you can't fight about issues like cost of living
4:09
Speaker 3: when you signed up to this madness, because it impacts
4:13
Speaker 3: every facet of life, from businesses to households to large
4:18
Speaker 3: scale manufacturing sector. It is absolutely crippling for us. But
4:23
Speaker 3: let's move on to the Abanazy government's tax on unrealized
4:27
Speaker 3: gains on superannuation funds in excess of three million dollars.
4:30
Speaker 3: It will come into effect July one. It's expected to
4:34
Speaker 3: pass both the Lower House and the Senate with ease,
4:37
Speaker 3: given the Greens have the balance of power in the
4:40
Speaker 3: upper house and the Liberals really fail to explain why
4:44
Speaker 3: this tax is so so unfair, so grossly unfair. And
4:51
Speaker 3: it doesn't just impact the reach, it also has a
4:53
Speaker 3: massive impact on investment, a negative impact on the investment. Yeah,
5:01
Speaker 3: that's right.
5:01
Speaker 5: I think there's a couple of things. You know, as
5:03
Speaker 5: with any kind of new tax, it's actually often the
5:05
Speaker 5: rich that can avoid at the best because they have
5:07
Speaker 5: the resources told to their investment portfolios to minimize the
5:11
Speaker 5: impact of tax. Actually those are the middle that tend
5:14
Speaker 5: to copy it. The other point is this will damage
5:17
Speaker 5: self you know, the sm self run super funds, and
5:21
Speaker 5: it will channel more money into industry super funds, and
5:24
Speaker 5: which is obviously a benefit to labor and the unions,
5:26
Speaker 5: given that those super funds are run by unions. I
5:30
Speaker 5: think the other point reader is this tax is incredibly opaque.
5:33
Speaker 5: It's not really clear how it will be administered. And
5:37
Speaker 5: one of the fundamental principles of taxation is you need
5:40
Speaker 5: to actually know how much tax you're liable for. So
5:43
Speaker 5: you know, you earn an income, you've got to pay
5:45
Speaker 5: income tax, you buy something from the shops, you pay GST,
5:48
Speaker 5: you own a business, you pay payroll tax. That we
5:50
Speaker 5: can debate the sites and the magnitude of those taxes,
5:52
Speaker 5: but at least they're obvious in terms of how much
5:54
Speaker 5: you have to pay. But this tax is very opaque,
5:57
Speaker 5: so I don't even know if the treasure himself can
5:59
Speaker 5: explain how this is going to be enforced or how
6:02
Speaker 5: much packs The typical investor is actually going to pay.
6:07
Speaker 3: Well, it's going to impact as many as one point
6:09
Speaker 3: eight million Australians, could spread to other income levels and
6:14
Speaker 3: other structures. It's one that would think we have to
6:17
Speaker 3: keep talking about. But now to the Victorian state budget,
6:21
Speaker 3: and despite the net debt soaring towards two hundred billion,
6:24
Speaker 3: premierges Into Allen and Treasurer Jacelin Simes are hailing a
6:29
Speaker 3: six hundred million dollar surplus stand This is nine hundred
6:32
Speaker 3: million dollars lower than what was forecast last year. They
6:36
Speaker 3: are hailing this as the state's first back in black
6:39
Speaker 3: budget since the pandemic. But really, who are they fooling here?
6:43
Speaker 3: Victoria is in dire financial straits and we're facing a
6:49
Speaker 3: credit downgrade Dan. The state's credit rating is already at
6:53
Speaker 3: a record low and it could fall further.
7:00
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's right.
7:00
Speaker 5: I don't think that the claim surplus is worth the
7:04
Speaker 5: paper it's written on, because we know that tens of
7:06
Speaker 5: billions of dollars, particularly in the infrastructure investments, have been
7:10
Speaker 5: shuffled off the books. They're done through other vehicles that
7:13
Speaker 5: aren't accounted for in the normal The headline figures that
7:17
Speaker 5: we see written up in the media and propagated by
7:20
Speaker 5: the government. So you've got the massive suburban railroop, which
7:24
Speaker 5: is unpopular, unnecessary and is unaffordable, and many other costs
7:29
Speaker 5: that aren't included in this. So look, I think that
7:31
Speaker 5: ultimately everybody knows that Victoria is going downhill when it
7:35
Speaker 5: comes to its finances and economy. This is no longer abstract.
7:38
Speaker 5: We're seeing cuts to funding of schools, potential cuts to
7:42
Speaker 5: health and other services of.
7:44
Speaker 3: Victorians rely upon.
7:46
Speaker 5: And of course if Victoria goes down, it will bring
7:49
Speaker 5: the rest of the country with it. We already know
7:51
Speaker 5: that it's getting a larger distribution of the GST to
7:54
Speaker 5: compensate for the Victorian government's financial mismanagement. And at the
7:58
Speaker 5: end of the day, it's going to be everybody else
8:00
Speaker 5: in this country that will have to bail out the
8:02
Speaker 5: failing state that is Victoria.
8:06
Speaker 3: Now. CFE volunteers across Victoria have stopped attending callouts and
8:12
Speaker 3: some have threatened to quit. Some have even burned their
8:15
Speaker 3: uniforms in fury over the state government's new emergency services tax.
8:20
Speaker 3: This tax replaces the fire services levy, will be raising
8:24
Speaker 3: more money and it will be changed alongside council rates.
8:29
Speaker 3: And while all landholders in Victoria are going to be
8:32
Speaker 3: paying for this. It's farmers in particular who are facing
8:36
Speaker 3: massive increases, possibly tens of thousands of dollars, and a
8:41
Speaker 3: lot of farmers volunteer for the CFA. DAN, you can
8:44
Speaker 3: understand why they're so upset.
8:48
Speaker 5: Yeah, this is an absolute disgrace. It's being done primarily
8:53
Speaker 5: because the volunteers in the CFA are not unionized, so
8:58
Speaker 5: they want to government wants to shove out the volunteers
9:01
Speaker 5: and bring them under a union rubric. So this is
9:04
Speaker 5: a disgraceful attack on a critical volunteering organization being done
9:08
Speaker 5: for political purposes. It heightens the risk of risk to
9:13
Speaker 5: human life in the event of a bushfire because Victorians
9:16
Speaker 5: rely upon the services of volunteers, and I think it's
9:21
Speaker 5: an example of just how short sighted the government is
9:24
Speaker 5: when they're attacking the very people they're engaging in a
9:28
Speaker 5: community surface that is so valuable. So I think there's
9:31
Speaker 5: a lot to be worried about in the direction of this.
9:34
Speaker 5: But unfortunately, as we just discussed, because the government is
9:38
Speaker 5: so cash strapped, they're going to be looking to tax
9:40
Speaker 5: absolutely everything that moves. Well.
9:44
Speaker 3: We are saying that in Victoria in particular, they are
9:47
Speaker 3: absolutely hooked on property taxes in particular, whether it's land tax,
9:52
Speaker 3: stamp duties and now we've got emergency services tax Stan.
9:56
Speaker 3: It really is again a disincentive to invest in Victoria.
10:00
Speaker 3: Why would you invest in this state where you're going
10:04
Speaker 3: to be absolutely crippled with taxes, particularly if you're a
10:07
Speaker 3: mum and dad a landholder.
10:12
Speaker 5: Well that's right, and I think it's also cautionary tale
10:15
Speaker 5: for the rest of Australia, which is, you know, this
10:16
Speaker 5: is what happens when you don't get your financial house
10:19
Speaker 5: in order. I think for a lot of people, massive
10:22
Speaker 5: government debt it's a pretty abstract concept. It doesn't appear
10:25
Speaker 5: to affect their day to day lives. But what actually
10:27
Speaker 5: happens is you get reduction to services and higher taxes.
10:30
Speaker 5: And yes they'll start at the top end. They say,
10:32
Speaker 5: oh we're any taxing property investors. That won't affect people
10:35
Speaker 5: on the ground. But then salami slice after salami slice,
10:38
Speaker 5: it gets worse and worse until you find the economy
10:40
Speaker 5: is plunged into a very deep recession, which is where
10:42
Speaker 5: I fear Victoria is going.
10:46
Speaker 3: Now before you go, you are in South Australia, I'm
10:49
Speaker 3: interested in your take on the latest development in the
10:53
Speaker 3: Willie Rioli saga. He's served a one match suspension for
10:58
Speaker 3: threatening a player via a teammate online. But Dan was
11:03
Speaker 3: seeing many in the AFL world, and in particular at
11:06
Speaker 3: Port Adelaide, trying to frame Willioli as the victim. Now
11:11
Speaker 3: Port Adelaide president David Kosh even suggested that he was
11:15
Speaker 3: the victim of culturally insensitive comments from the Bulldog, something
11:20
Speaker 3: the Bulldog's coach was not going to cop.
11:24
Speaker 7: As a matter of fact, that the comments weren't culturally
11:28
Speaker 7: in sensitive. That surprised me that he would insinuate or
11:34
Speaker 7: accuse our pliers of going down that track. But we
11:38
Speaker 7: won't ask for an apology.
11:39
Speaker 1: We'll just.
11:42
Speaker 7: Obviously remember it for the next time.
11:46
Speaker 3: Dan Luke Befridge made some good points. They also made
11:49
Speaker 3: the excellent point that port is effectively enabling Rioli's poor
11:54
Speaker 3: behavior with these endless excuses.
12:00
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's right.
12:01
Speaker 5: I think your article a couple of days ago summed
12:03
Speaker 5: it up, which is another exam example of the hypocritical
12:06
Speaker 5: double standards of the AFL. You know, I thought the
12:09
Speaker 5: AFL W stood for AFL Women's It turns out it
12:11
Speaker 5: stands for AFL woke. You know, time and time again
12:15
Speaker 5: we see this sort of double standard apply to identity politics.
12:19
Speaker 5: You know, you could take the example of tex Walker
12:21
Speaker 5: and another great South Australian footballer who you know a
12:25
Speaker 5: little while ago, was rubbed out for a number of
12:27
Speaker 5: games and had to pay a massive fine because of
12:29
Speaker 5: alleged racial comments that he made that I don't believe
12:32
Speaker 5: we're ever recorded anywhere, and maybe he made them, maybe
12:35
Speaker 5: he didn't, but you know, how come that gets one
12:37
Speaker 5: treatment and you know, this situation with Rioli gets another one.
12:41
Speaker 5: I mean, you also make the point about Port coach
12:44
Speaker 5: Hinckley who got a massive fine for you know, something
12:47
Speaker 5: that was pretty innocuous, and again we see the double standard.
12:51
Speaker 5: So I just think the football fans had a gut
12:52
Speaker 5: full of this double standard that applies to the AFL,
12:55
Speaker 5: and if the rules are there, they should be applied
12:57
Speaker 5: to everybody on an equal basis.
13:01
Speaker 3: Yes, they're very selective about how they apply their rules
13:04
Speaker 3: and a lot of people presumed there was some racial
13:07
Speaker 3: aspect to why they were initially so soft on Willie Rioli.
13:12
Speaker 3: They find the coach, they're twenty thousand dollars for something
13:16
Speaker 3: that wasn't offensive or threatening. It may have not been
13:19
Speaker 3: a good look. They find players thousands for giving the finger,
13:24
Speaker 3: but a player making a threat and basically getting away
13:29
Speaker 3: with an apology Initially, that did raise a lot of eyebrows.
13:32
Speaker 3: Dan Wild, thank you so much for your time tonight.
13:36
Speaker 3: Joining me now is esteem geologist and author Professor Ian
13:40
Speaker 3: Primary inlets start in the US, where engineers have discovered
13:44
Speaker 3: kill switches embedded in Chinese manufactured power inverters installed at
13:49
Speaker 3: American solar farms, prompting fears that the Chinese Communist Party
13:54
Speaker 3: could physically destroy grids across the US, UK and other
13:59
Speaker 3: parts of U We're by remotely switching off the power supply.
14:04
Speaker 3: Are we shocked by this development? This is precisely what
14:08
Speaker 3: you've been warning about as a possibility.
14:10
Speaker 6: No, not at all shocked. It's been on the cards
14:12
Speaker 6: for a very very long time. And it could be
14:16
Speaker 6: a Chinese solar industrial complex. It could be a wind turbine,
14:20
Speaker 6: it could be a Chinese car, it could be Huiwei
14:24
Speaker 6: telecommunications network. We've known that this possibility existed for a
14:28
Speaker 6: very long period of time. It's fairly easy to do,
14:31
Speaker 6: and it's just a method of industrial chaos. Is trying
14:36
Speaker 6: to weaken your opposition, so there are no surprises.
14:42
Speaker 3: Can we trust the Chinese Communist Party not to resort
14:46
Speaker 3: to these sort of tactics at some point?
14:48
Speaker 6: I don't think you can trust any Communists, whether it
14:50
Speaker 6: be Chinese or Russian or East German, that goes with
14:55
Speaker 6: the territory.
14:56
Speaker 3: Well, and we already know when it comes to trade,
15:00
Speaker 3: with this latest tariff war we're having, that they do
15:02
Speaker 3: not play by the rules, They steal intellectual property, they
15:07
Speaker 3: do all sorts of things that are just grossly unfair.
15:11
Speaker 3: And this is just another aspect of that. And we
15:13
Speaker 3: are so reliant on them for this infrastructure, aren't we.
15:17
Speaker 3: When we look at renewables, China's really the greatest beneficiary.
15:22
Speaker 6: Well, there's a simple solution to that. Don't go net zero,
15:25
Speaker 6: don't go renewables.
15:26
Speaker 3: Go back to.
15:27
Speaker 6: Cheap, reliable coal fired electricity. We had it for a
15:30
Speaker 6: long time.
15:31
Speaker 3: Typed China users reduce these solar Yes, that's exactly what happens.
15:36
Speaker 6: China buys our coal and then produce the solar panels
15:39
Speaker 6: and wind turbines and other machinery to compete against our industries.
15:44
Speaker 6: So they get it both ways, and we copy it
15:46
Speaker 6: in the eyes both ways, So this is absolute manner.
15:50
Speaker 6: So the solution is simple, go back to cheap, reliable
15:54
Speaker 6: coal fired electricity in this state, Victoria, it was the
15:58
Speaker 6: cheapest in the world with the brown coal that we
16:01
Speaker 6: had here. Now it isn't no.
16:03
Speaker 3: And it's amongst the most expensive you would say, our
16:05
Speaker 3: energy prices. Now, what is your assessment of the newly
16:09
Speaker 3: appointed Environment Minister Murray Wat. He's promising to deliver a
16:13
Speaker 3: decision on the Northwest Shelf gas project by the end
16:16
Speaker 3: of the month. Will he be an improvement on his predecessor,
16:21
Speaker 3: Tannia Plibasek. Of course, she infamously blocked a number of
16:26
Speaker 3: major projects that would have raised significant tax revenue created
16:31
Speaker 3: a multitude of well paying jobs in regional areas. Can
16:35
Speaker 3: we expect better from Murray Wat?
16:37
Speaker 6: Well, I don't know. He didn't shine in his previous
16:40
Speaker 6: portfolio and it's not hard to outshine Tanya Plebasek. So
16:45
Speaker 6: he's only going to be fairly dull and not very
16:48
Speaker 6: reflective and he'll do better. It's very very clear that
16:52
Speaker 6: there was an internal fight going on in the Labor
16:55
Speaker 6: Party and Tanya Plebersek was driving this to make life
16:58
Speaker 6: very difficult for the Prime Minister. She's lost at portfolio.
17:02
Speaker 6: Maybe the labor government might think that having a productive economy,
17:08
Speaker 6: an economy that actually creates wealth, an economy that actually
17:11
Speaker 6: has organizations and people pay tax, maybe that's best for
17:16
Speaker 6: the country rather than playing ideological factional games.
17:19
Speaker 3: Now to an issue that is getting scant media coverage,
17:23
Speaker 3: and that's the drought that has left parts of Victoria
17:26
Speaker 3: in severe distress. Parts of the state have had really
17:29
Speaker 3: no rainfall for two years. There is some relief, but
17:33
Speaker 3: many farmers are missing out.
17:37
Speaker 8: Duncan Barber's farm at Metcalf is one of those that
17:40
Speaker 8: missed out. It's been pretty hard to deal with seeing
17:45
Speaker 8: all that death. You've got to deal with death neely
17:48
Speaker 8: every day. He feels forgotten by the government. I know
17:52
Speaker 8: they've got no money because poor management, and they're not
17:54
Speaker 8: going to That's why they don't want to help us.
17:56
Speaker 4: There's a nationally recognized framework that brings areas into the
18:00
Speaker 4: drought declaration.
18:03
Speaker 3: It's hard not to think that the state government here
18:07
Speaker 3: has just great disdain for farmers. For regional areas, there
18:12
Speaker 3: is a great deal of suffering out there at an anger.
18:16
Speaker 6: Well, that's the case. Farmers get the short straw country wide.
18:20
Speaker 6: They suffer drought, they suffer floods, they suffer bush fires.
18:23
Speaker 6: This droughts not only restricted to southwestern Victoria, southeastern South
18:27
Speaker 6: Australia as well. Yet northeastern Victoria is quite wet, so
18:34
Speaker 6: these are localized droughts. These have a dramatic effect on
18:37
Speaker 6: the cash flow of farmers. Farmers get treated with absolute
18:41
Speaker 6: disdain in this country. You've only got to see how
18:44
Speaker 6: they're treated with putting high voltage power lines across their land,
18:49
Speaker 6: sterilizing their land, or putting wind turbines proximal to their properties.
18:53
Speaker 6: So we actually should be treating our farmers much better. Now.
18:58
Speaker 6: If the farmers had really you got sick of this,
19:01
Speaker 6: they actually could go and strike like our union friends,
19:05
Speaker 6: and they would not deliver food to the cities and
19:08
Speaker 6: every one week before we'd have absolute chaos and possible
19:12
Speaker 6: anarchy in the cities. So the farmers have a huge
19:15
Speaker 6: amount of muscle, and we have to be careful to
19:18
Speaker 6: treat farmers as people who are actually providing a great
19:21
Speaker 6: service and that is food on your table.
19:24
Speaker 3: I think there's going to be some protests in the
19:26
Speaker 3: Melbourne CBD tomorrow morning, so we'll bring you news of
19:30
Speaker 3: that tomorrow. Now, before you go the new Greens leader,
19:34
Speaker 3: Larissa Waters, I'm interested in your take on her. It
19:36
Speaker 3: doesn't look like she's going to be returning the Greens
19:39
Speaker 3: to their environmentalist roots. She's all about social justice.
19:45
Speaker 9: We're the Greens, so of course we stand firm always
19:48
Speaker 9: on social justice and human rights, whether that's First Nations justice,
19:52
Speaker 9: whether that's a free Palestine, whether that's peace and human rights.
19:57
Speaker 3: Globally, we will always.
19:59
Speaker 9: Be there calling out atrocities, calling out a genocide and
20:03
Speaker 9: standing strongly on social justice and human rights.
20:09
Speaker 3: Is it more of the same, Well, I think it's
20:12
Speaker 3: more of the same.
20:12
Speaker 6: I mean, a Green Party really should be concerned about
20:15
Speaker 6: environmental matters, and they are not. They are supportive of
20:19
Speaker 6: bulldozing large amounts of rainforest in Queensland to put in
20:22
Speaker 6: wind turbines. They're supportive of bulldozing large amounts of forest
20:26
Speaker 6: and the snowy mountains to put in high voltage power lines.
20:30
Speaker 6: And these people are basically concerned about issues which communists
20:35
Speaker 6: around the world are concerned. So they've got nothing to
20:37
Speaker 6: do with the environment. And if they were an environmental party,
20:40
Speaker 6: they wouldn't be killing the forests. They wouldn't be killing
20:43
Speaker 6: birds and bats with turbine blades. They wouldn't be killing
20:46
Speaker 6: whales with offshore turbines. They wouldn't be poisoning soils with
20:50
Speaker 6: wind blades and with detritus coming off solar panels. They're
20:55
Speaker 6: not a Greens party at all. They are a minor
20:58
Speaker 6: group of rat bag communists who want to control everything
21:02
Speaker 6: in the country.
21:03
Speaker 3: Professor in Plymouth, thank you for those insights. Still to
21:07
Speaker 3: Kalma left his Losing ed class the latest from the US,
21:11
Speaker 3: including the curious timing of Joe Biden's cancer diagnosis. Josh
21:16
Speaker 3: Hammer has the details. You're watching the Reader Panny Show,
21:26
Speaker 3: and it's time for lefties losing it. Let's start with
21:29
Speaker 3: another celebrity who is determined to trash their own reputation.
21:34
Speaker 3: This one appears to have no qualms about his legacy
21:37
Speaker 3: being damaged with his ignorant, hair brained hate and vitriol.
21:42
Speaker 3: Here is Bruce Springsteen launching into a boring anti Trump
21:47
Speaker 3: die tribe to an audience who would rather he just
21:51
Speaker 3: sang some of his classic songs.
21:54
Speaker 10: They're removing residents of American streets out due process of law,
22:03
Speaker 10: are devoting them to foreign detention.
22:06
Speaker 3: Centers and prisoners. This is all happening now.
22:15
Speaker 10: The majority of our elected representatives have failed to protect
22:21
Speaker 10: the American people from the abuses of an unfit president.
22:27
Speaker 3: And a rural He wasn't done yet, though the audience
22:34
Speaker 3: seemed to be thoroughly fit up. You can tell that
22:37
Speaker 3: by the scant applause.
22:40
Speaker 10: The America of that I've sung to you about for
22:44
Speaker 10: fifty years is real.
22:49
Speaker 3: And regardless of its face, it's a.
22:52
Speaker 10: Great country with a great to will survive this morning.
22:57
Speaker 3: Look, we can't talk about Bruce Springstey without featuring his
23:01
Speaker 3: great work during the election campaign, where he appeared at
23:05
Speaker 3: Kamala rallies to built out the classics.
23:09
Speaker 11: You'll be carming you about right, See, you gotta stay hungry.
23:17
Speaker 3: Well, I'm just about starving the night. Oh dear.
23:24
Speaker 4: Little world falling apart.
23:27
Speaker 10: This gun's for higher.
23:31
Speaker 11: Even if we just dancing in the girl.
23:36
Speaker 3: Now, trust me, that was literally the best bit. I
23:39
Speaker 3: could have been mean and played this, working on.
23:45
Speaker 11: Dad's grin, driving all like cheez and some rush.
23:53
Speaker 3: That is green. But at least old Bruce is short footed.
23:57
Speaker 3: Sure he can't sing anymore, but he can dance. I'll
24:15
Speaker 3: have more celebrities disgracing themselves tomorrow and I but now
24:20
Speaker 3: to the left losing it because the Trump administration is
24:22
Speaker 3: granting refugee status to a few dozen Africanas. Of course,
24:28
Speaker 3: white landholders are increasingly fleeing the racial hatred and violence
24:32
Speaker 3: of modern day South Africa. But MSNBC would prefer them
24:37
Speaker 3: to stay where they are. Here is Donna Edwards.
24:41
Speaker 12: Well.
24:42
Speaker 1: In my view, what makes it different is that they
24:44
Speaker 1: are white South Africans. The President, in my view, has
24:48
Speaker 1: not hidden his racism behind a bushel. In fact, you
24:51
Speaker 1: know in his policies, whether it's removing government workers or
24:56
Speaker 1: in this case admitting white South Africans, of denying refugee
25:01
Speaker 1: status asylum seekers from other countries disgraceful.
25:07
Speaker 3: And the race spaces are in the churches too. Here
25:11
Speaker 3: is Bishop Chnroe.
25:14
Speaker 4: We can't be ourselves in the Episcopal Church and take
25:16
Speaker 4: the step of resettling white africaners from South Africa. Our
25:20
Speaker 4: church has a long commitment to racial justice and reconciliation
25:24
Speaker 4: and we have historic ties with the Anglican Church of
25:27
Speaker 4: South Africa. Desmond Tutu is a part of a partner
25:32
Speaker 4: and a partner in this work for us. We're just
25:35
Speaker 4: not able to take this staff. It's not in line
25:39
Speaker 4: with anything that we're about.
25:42
Speaker 3: And let's have a quick look at what's happening in
25:44
Speaker 3: South Africa. Here is a politician calling for white women,
25:48
Speaker 3: white children, and even their pets to be killed. And
26:00
Speaker 3: here is a politician leading a stadium full of people
26:03
Speaker 3: calling for and I quote, shoot to kill, kill the boer,
26:08
Speaker 3: kill the farmer. But MSNBC and CNN and the rest
26:29
Speaker 3: of them must have missed all that. If you want
26:31
Speaker 3: to see how loathsome and intolerant these leftists are, then
26:35
Speaker 3: look no further than Ashley Allison, who firstly seems to
26:39
Speaker 3: be quite happy with the discriminatory laws in South Africa,
26:43
Speaker 3: and then she really ramps up the bigotry.
26:46
Speaker 13: That allowed for a racial reconciliation, one that this country
26:50
Speaker 13: has yet to do. But South Africa did it and
26:52
Speaker 13: they reformed their constitution. And part of that is that
26:55
Speaker 13: the people who are native to that land deserve their
26:58
Speaker 13: rightful land back. That is not what the Afrikaaners actually
27:03
Speaker 13: want to have happened, which are the white Africans and
27:06
Speaker 13: so who are not originally from Africa who colonize South
27:11
Speaker 13: Africa also, and so that is what they are saying
27:14
Speaker 13: is discrimination. Now, if the constitution in South Africa is discriminatory,
27:19
Speaker 13: they have their checks and balances in that land just
27:22
Speaker 13: like we do, and that is for them to So
27:24
Speaker 13: if the Afrikaaners don't actually like the land, they can
27:27
Speaker 13: leave that country they are. They can actually even go
27:32
Speaker 13: to where their native land is, which is probably Germany.
27:35
Speaker 3: Are you against in coming here, Holland, Holland? Are you
27:38
Speaker 3: against in coming here?
27:39
Speaker 13: I'm against the hypocrisy of this in MINUSESO, let's get
27:42
Speaker 13: the question. The questions are against coming here if there
27:45
Speaker 13: was actually a genocide happening.
27:47
Speaker 3: So Afrikanas being murdered in their own farms should flee
27:51
Speaker 3: to where they came from almost five hundred years ago,
27:55
Speaker 3: the Dutch settlers the Afrikaanas first arrived in Africa or
27:58
Speaker 3: in sixteen fifty too. But they need to go back
28:02
Speaker 3: to Holland. But some gangbanger from El Salvador who was
28:06
Speaker 3: in America five minutes and entered illegally, Well, they've got
28:10
Speaker 3: to be considered American and given all their rights. Let's
28:13
Speaker 3: allow Ashley Allison to finish her as nine point.
28:17
Speaker 13: I'm not opposed to Venezueland and South America's coming to America,
28:21
Speaker 13: if they are fleeing and looking for asylum, what I
28:25
Speaker 13: am against. It's not about being against them. What I
28:27
Speaker 13: am against is that they are being given special treatment
28:30
Speaker 13: when there is not a genocide happening in South Africa
28:33
Speaker 13: and they just don't like the law of the land.
28:35
Speaker 3: Well you know what, Yes, they don't like the law
28:38
Speaker 3: of the land in South Africa, the ones where their
28:41
Speaker 3: land is seized without compensation. Great point. Ashley joining me
28:46
Speaker 3: now is a Newsweek's senior editor at Large an article
28:49
Speaker 3: three projects Senior Council Josh Hammer. Josh, We're going to
28:53
Speaker 3: speak about the timing of Joe Biden's cancer diagnosis shortly,
28:58
Speaker 3: but first on this issue, have you been surprised by
29:02
Speaker 3: the manner in which these lefteris have attacked a few
29:05
Speaker 3: dozen Africanas arriving in America?
29:10
Speaker 2: You know, readA god, God bless Scott Jennings, who we
29:12
Speaker 2: just saw there on CNN. Now that man deserves a
29:14
Speaker 2: pay raise because of just the utter humiliating crack that
29:17
Speaker 2: he has to go through night in and night out
29:20
Speaker 2: on CNN. I mean, it's just utterly insane there. I
29:23
Speaker 2: mean this, this woman is clearly telling America that she
29:26
Speaker 2: just hates white people. I mean that that is actually
29:28
Speaker 2: what she's saying in there. She she even she knows
29:31
Speaker 2: though that she actually cannot say that, because even she
29:33
Speaker 2: would probably be kicked off the show if you said
29:34
Speaker 2: up there. But that's exactly what she's saying. We're talking
29:36
Speaker 2: here about about about about four to four and a
29:39
Speaker 2: half dozen africaners. This is this is nothing. I mean,
29:42
Speaker 2: I mean, this is a pimple on the back of
29:44
Speaker 2: the of the butt of the rear end of the
29:46
Speaker 2: American immigration apparatus. There there's a tiny, tiny, tiny sliver
29:51
Speaker 2: of the migrants who have been let in over the
29:52
Speaker 2: past four years on the Biden administration. There again, this
29:55
Speaker 2: is pure unmitigated racism there. It's nothing less than discussing.
29:58
Speaker 2: By the way, the South African government is absolutely positively horrific.
30:02
Speaker 2: I know this because you know read it prior to
30:04
Speaker 2: our first baby being born in leint December my my wife,
30:07
Speaker 2: we're about to go on a baby moon. As as
30:08
Speaker 2: the Millennials and gen Z coll It, we actually looked
30:11
Speaker 2: into going to South Africa. Thereby, I did a little
30:13
Speaker 2: research on the government there. This is a radically Marxist
30:16
Speaker 2: extraordinarily far left, horrific, horrific regime currently empowered there. They
30:21
Speaker 2: are the ones currently leading the genocide charge incidentally against
30:24
Speaker 2: Israel in the ICJ and the ICC. We have this
30:28
Speaker 2: horrifically racist policy. They're outright Marxism stripping private property there.
30:32
Speaker 2: It's horrific. And anyone, frankly, who defends this current government
30:36
Speaker 2: South Africa, it says a lot more about them than
30:38
Speaker 2: it says about anything else. But ultimately read it the
30:40
Speaker 2: American left, they see every single issue through one prison
30:43
Speaker 2: in one prism only, and that is race.
30:47
Speaker 3: Well, they are all near Marxist really, because what she
30:50
Speaker 3: said there, if you listen to the full clib, she
30:53
Speaker 3: was applauding South Africa. She was saying that've had the
30:55
Speaker 3: reckoning that America hasn't had yet, as if it's something
30:58
Speaker 3: to look forward to. And yes, sadly, South Africa is
31:02
Speaker 3: going down the path of Zimbabwe. You can see that
31:04
Speaker 3: happening very clearly. Now, let's talk about Joe Biden and
31:09
Speaker 3: the sad news that he's battling advanced cancer. Josh, I
31:13
Speaker 3: want to play you this clip from two years ago
31:16
Speaker 3: when on stage Biden said he had cancer. He even
31:20
Speaker 3: explained why he thought he had cancer. But then we
31:23
Speaker 3: were told on I know, this was just a gaff.
31:26
Speaker 12: And because it was a four lane highway that was accessible,
31:30
Speaker 12: my mother drove us and rather than us be able
31:33
Speaker 12: to walk and guess what the first frost, you knew
31:38
Speaker 12: what was happening. It how to put on your windshield
31:41
Speaker 12: wapers to get literally the oil slick off the window.
31:44
Speaker 12: That's why I had so damn many other people I
31:46
Speaker 12: grew up have cancer. And why camp For the longest time,
31:50
Speaker 12: Delaware had the highest cancer rate in the nation.
31:53
Speaker 3: That doesn't sound like a gaff or a starter, Josh No.
31:59
Speaker 2: And look, you know the crazy thing, Rida. There's a
32:01
Speaker 2: new book out this week, this book called Original Sin
32:03
Speaker 2: Right by Jake Tapper of CNN and Alex Thompson of Axios,
32:06
Speaker 2: and it's making all the headlines there. It's generating all
32:09
Speaker 2: the attention here in the United States this week is
32:11
Speaker 2: focused on this one book by Tapper and Thompson. Then,
32:14
Speaker 2: of course they're making themselves out to be the innocent
32:17
Speaker 2: victims in the fourth Estate there in the media, as
32:19
Speaker 2: if they were duped by the Biden White House there.
32:21
Speaker 2: They obviously were completely in on the game from the
32:24
Speaker 2: get go there. But the crazy thing is that these
32:26
Speaker 2: same people, the same people RITA that just pulled a
32:29
Speaker 2: Soviet level information operation to gaslight the American people for
32:33
Speaker 2: the past five years about Joe Biden's mental and physical decline,
32:37
Speaker 2: both people inside the administration and their mouthpiece media propagandists
32:41
Speaker 2: on the outside, the Pravda like Jake Tapper before he
32:44
Speaker 2: conveniently flipped one hundred eight degrees there, the same people
32:47
Speaker 2: who gas led us for the past four years are
32:49
Speaker 2: now going to say that those of us who have
32:52
Speaker 2: the hootspot, who have the gall to ask whether or
32:55
Speaker 2: not there was a similar cover up about Joe Biden's
32:58
Speaker 2: medical condition he cancer diagnosed. There, they're about to say
33:01
Speaker 2: the word that were horrible people all over and oh,
33:04
Speaker 2: don't worry us, you know, Oh yeah, maybe maybe maybe
33:06
Speaker 2: we kind of buried a few stories there about the
33:08
Speaker 2: president's kind of his cognitive decline there. But don't you
33:11
Speaker 2: dare ask but whether or not we actually hid his
33:13
Speaker 2: cancer diagnosis there? But look, I mean that click kind
33:16
Speaker 2: of speaks for itself, wasn't it.
33:18
Speaker 1: There.
33:18
Speaker 2: I mean, that's not a gaff reader. That is a
33:19
Speaker 2: man just saying the truth in the open there. You
33:22
Speaker 2: know funny. I find it awfully convenient that this news
33:24
Speaker 2: about this prostate cancer is coming out right now. As
33:27
Speaker 2: I said the very week of this original sin book
33:29
Speaker 2: by Jay Tapper, Now Thompson, I'm not buying it. Something
33:32
Speaker 2: here is up.
33:35
Speaker 3: And it's coming. A week or so after that appearance
33:38
Speaker 3: on The View where Joe Biden with Jill Biden had
33:42
Speaker 3: an extended interview. Again, it was disastrous. It didn't go
33:46
Speaker 3: as they planned. It just reinforced what we all thought
33:50
Speaker 3: about his cognitive decline, and this seems to be the
33:55
Speaker 3: counter to it. It's terribly sad, but this is the
33:59
Speaker 3: level of mistrust that's in that administration now and in
34:02
Speaker 3: the mainstream media that the questions being asked about and
34:06
Speaker 3: when they learned about this diagnosis. Now, President Trump's had
34:10
Speaker 3: a history making Middle East a troupe. An example of
34:13
Speaker 3: his peace through strength strategy, he acknowledged Josh Josh that
34:19
Speaker 3: the US hasn't always been a force of good in
34:22
Speaker 3: the region.
34:23
Speaker 11: Before our eyes, a new generation of leaders is transcending
34:26
Speaker 11: the ancient conflicts of tired divisions of the past and
34:30
Speaker 11: forging a future where the Middle East is defined by commerce,
34:34
Speaker 11: not chaos where it exports technology, not terrorism, and where
34:39
Speaker 11: people of different nations, religions, and creeds are building cities together,
34:45
Speaker 11: not bombing each other out of existence. In the end,
34:49
Speaker 11: the so called nation builders wrecked far more nations than
34:53
Speaker 11: they built, and the interventionalists were intervening in complex societies
35:00
Speaker 11: that they did not even understand themselves. They told you
35:03
Speaker 11: how to do it, but they had no idea how
35:05
Speaker 11: to do it themselves.
35:07
Speaker 3: Josh, this is a dramatically different approach from what we've
35:11
Speaker 3: seen in the past, is the rejection of the neo
35:14
Speaker 3: kon warhawk interventionists. How did you say that, trip.
35:20
Speaker 2: Well, that speech specifically was a fantastic speech. I watched
35:23
Speaker 2: the whole thing. Actually, he gave that speech in Riad,
35:24
Speaker 2: Saudi Arabia, he spoke at this US Saudi conference. So
35:27
Speaker 2: he's done Yeomen's work to already pull back Saudi Arabia
35:31
Speaker 2: and the Unit of Arab Emirates from falling prey into
35:33
Speaker 2: the Chinese sphere of influence. There, China had done a
35:36
Speaker 2: lot of outreach via its belt and wrote initiative into
35:39
Speaker 2: the Arabian Peninsula during the Biden administration. Because the Bid
35:42
Speaker 2: administration was Molly coddling the Iranian regime and the Arabs
35:45
Speaker 2: basically then all went to China. So Donald Trump, I
35:47
Speaker 2: think deserves three cheers for what he did with the
35:49
Speaker 2: Saudis and the Murdies. Now read I will be cannid
35:52
Speaker 2: with you. I am a bit concerned about the Qatari
35:54
Speaker 2: piece of the puzzle. Their Qatar is a much more
35:56
Speaker 2: complicated country than Saudi Arabia, and the UAE has been
36:00
Speaker 2: a financier of Hamas, the Muslim Brotherhood, even Al Qaeda
36:03
Speaker 2: and I the times in the past there, so I'm
36:06
Speaker 2: not necessarily in love with Qatar being a whole part
36:09
Speaker 2: of this American romance in the Middle East. There, I view
36:12
Speaker 2: Kutar quite differently actually than the Saudis the Marats, which
36:14
Speaker 2: are non Islamist Arab states there. I'm also a little
36:17
Speaker 2: bit concerned about the potential direction of the Iran nuclear
36:19
Speaker 2: talks there. But ultimately everything that Donald Trump is saying
36:22
Speaker 2: on the Iran issue was actually very good. So as
36:24
Speaker 2: long as he as long as what as long as
36:25
Speaker 2: he says what he means, and he means what he says,
36:27
Speaker 2: and I think everything's going to be okay.
36:31
Speaker 3: Well it seems to be there also not just to
36:35
Speaker 3: try to bring about peace, but also to do business deals.
36:39
Speaker 3: He signed deals worth around six hundred billion with the
36:42
Speaker 3: Saudis alone. And as a construction guy, he was very
36:46
Speaker 3: impressed with the marble work in the region and did
36:49
Speaker 3: job you've done a second and then you look at
36:51
Speaker 3: this is so beautiful.
36:53
Speaker 11: As a construction person, I'm seeing perfect marble.
36:57
Speaker 6: This is what they call perfect.
37:00
Speaker 4: And just a great job you've done it.
37:03
Speaker 3: Yes, the marble work there, Josh, is something to be hold. Meanwhile,
37:07
Speaker 3: the Democrats have the likes of Tim Walls, the failed
37:11
Speaker 3: VP candidate setting the agenda. He's called immigration officials a
37:17
Speaker 3: modern day gestapo.
37:19
Speaker 14: Donald Trump's modern daescapo is scooping folks up off the streets.
37:24
Speaker 14: They're in unmarked vans, wearing masks, being shipped off to
37:27
Speaker 14: foreign torture dungeons. No chance to mountor defense, not even
37:31
Speaker 14: a chance to kiss the loved one and goodbye, just
37:33
Speaker 14: grabbed up by massed agents, shoved into those vans and disappeared.
37:37
Speaker 3: Josh, Is this the future of the Democrats? Is this
37:41
Speaker 3: what they are going to take to the twenty eight election?
37:45
Speaker 2: You know, it's as if nothing has changed, isn't it.
37:47
Speaker 2: I mean, this is a that what the Democrats were
37:49
Speaker 2: saying during the first Tump administration. I mean, I mean,
37:52
Speaker 2: AOC becomes a congresswoman from New York City in the
37:55
Speaker 2: twenty eighteen midterm election. In her first year in Congress.
37:58
Speaker 2: In twenty nineteen, I vividly recall her comparing the ICE
38:01
Speaker 2: detention facilities to Nazis concentration camp. So here we are
38:05
Speaker 2: six years later, and now Tim Walls is making the
38:07
Speaker 2: exact same analogies. I mean, I mean, this is so
38:09
Speaker 2: disgusting that that I barely feel like it even has
38:12
Speaker 2: to be commented on. But on the one hand, I
38:14
Speaker 2: mean just so utterly appalling, obviously, I mean to make
38:17
Speaker 2: these sorts of analogies there. I mean, these people that
38:20
Speaker 2: are being interrogated and by the way, they're given habeas corpus,
38:24
Speaker 2: they're giving due process. You know, contrary to what you
38:26
Speaker 2: hear in the corporate media. To hear, these people that
38:28
Speaker 2: are being seized by ICE are not US citizens. They
38:31
Speaker 2: are in the country illegally. They are not on illegal visa.
38:34
Speaker 2: They are here illegally. They're the Jews who are round
38:37
Speaker 2: them up. By the gestapos were citizens of their country.
38:40
Speaker 2: They had done literally nothing wrong other than the mere
38:42
Speaker 2: fact that they were Jewish, or this is just such
38:43
Speaker 2: an appalling, just as a loathsome disgusting analogy any way
38:48
Speaker 2: you can possibly draw it there. But I think the
38:49
Speaker 2: more important point is they've learned absolutely freaking nothing. They
38:53
Speaker 2: got shlacked in this presidential election rida, and look at them.
38:57
Speaker 3: They don't know what to do.
38:58
Speaker 2: They're running around like a bunch of with their heads
39:00
Speaker 2: cut off.
39:01
Speaker 6: There.
39:01
Speaker 2: I'm just happy that I'm not the one point to
39:03
Speaker 2: sort it out, because, frankly, if I were a Democratic strategist,
39:05
Speaker 2: if I were a Jimmy Carvell, I don't even know
39:07
Speaker 2: what I would be thinking when I see crap like
39:09
Speaker 2: this there. I mean, how do you rectify this? These
39:11
Speaker 2: people have to just go away and hide their heads
39:13
Speaker 2: in a paper bag for the rest of attorney. That's
39:15
Speaker 2: probably their only decent chance to get back to sanity
39:17
Speaker 2: at this point.
39:20
Speaker 3: I tell you, if you're JD. Vance and you're watching that,
39:23
Speaker 3: you would have a smile on your face because it's
39:25
Speaker 3: just going to walk it in. It's going to be
39:27
Speaker 3: a bit of a cakewalk if they don't improve their game.
39:29
Speaker 3: The Democrats are before you go tell me about this
39:33
Speaker 3: Supreme Court decision, the justices ruled seven to It was
39:37
Speaker 3: a split decision, seven to temporarily block the Trump administration's
39:42
Speaker 3: efforts to deport Venezuelan gang members who are in the
39:46
Speaker 3: country illegally. The decision was largely over a technical issue
39:51
Speaker 3: Josh Right.
39:53
Speaker 2: So it's not quite any substantive ruling as to the
39:56
Speaker 2: statutory interpretation of this seventeen ninety eight statue. The yelling
40:00
Speaker 2: enemies that there having said that Rita that the fact
40:02
Speaker 2: that it was the seven to two decision is nonetheless
40:04
Speaker 2: indicative there. So we've seen a handful of these seven
40:07
Speaker 2: two decisions there. It always ends up being Justices Clarence
40:09
Speaker 2: Thomas and Sam Alito. They are by far the most
40:11
Speaker 2: two conservative, the most two constitutionalist originalist justice there. You know, Unfortunately,
40:16
Speaker 2: all three of Donald Trump's nominees Ammy Cony, Barrett Breck Havanaugh,
40:19
Speaker 2: and Neil Gorsich. They're better, for sure than John Roberts,
40:23
Speaker 2: but they are not nearly as good as Sam a
40:25
Speaker 2: Leader or Clarence Thomas. And if a scotis vacancy or
40:27
Speaker 2: God willing, more than one opens up in these four years.
40:30
Speaker 2: While Trump as president of RITA, Conservatives are going to
40:32
Speaker 2: have to do a lot better than we did the
40:33
Speaker 2: last time there because these are really, really, really precious vacancies.
40:36
Speaker 2: We can we simply cannot afford to mess it up.
40:41
Speaker 3: I think that will be amongst Donald Trump's worst mistakes
40:45
Speaker 3: in his first administration, because he could have really secured
40:50
Speaker 3: the Supreme Court, and then the candidates he peaked, whoever
40:54
Speaker 3: advised him, they haven't worked out as planned. Josh Hamma,
40:57
Speaker 3: thank you so much for your time tonight.
41:00
Speaker 8: Thank you.
41:00
Speaker 3: Min still to come, Megan Markle's popularity plummets to a
41:05
Speaker 3: new low. Kinsey Schofield has the latest welcome back. Joining
41:16
Speaker 3: me now is celebrity and royal commentator Kinsey Schofield. Kinsey
41:20
Speaker 3: will start with Barack Obama's daughter Malia, who has been
41:24
Speaker 3: accused of plagiarism by an independent filmmaker who premiered her
41:28
Speaker 3: film at sun Dance.
41:30
Speaker 6: Now.
41:30
Speaker 3: She says that a recent Nike commercial directed by Malia
41:35
Speaker 3: is shockingly similar to her work. What do you make
41:39
Speaker 3: of these allegations, Kinsey?
41:41
Speaker 15: Well, and Malia was at Sundance, this particular Sundance where
41:45
Speaker 15: this short film premiered. I don't you know, I think
41:48
Speaker 15: children and famous parents are thrust into the spotlight, whether
41:51
Speaker 15: they like it or not, and that visibility comes with
41:54
Speaker 15: massive amounts of pressure. But with the constant they need
42:00
Speaker 15: to be more mindful of everything, whether it's what they're wearing,
42:04
Speaker 15: what they're saying, what they're doing. The margin of a
42:07
Speaker 15: four error is so much smaller when the whole world
42:10
Speaker 15: is watching, and I think they look a lot alike.
42:13
Speaker 15: I'm not gonna lie to you, reader.
42:17
Speaker 3: Yeah, we played a little bit of its side by side,
42:19
Speaker 3: and from those clips they look familiar. But I haven't
42:22
Speaker 3: watched the full short film that is in question here. Now,
42:27
Speaker 3: let's move along to Donald Trump hitting back at Bruce Springsteen.
42:31
Speaker 3: After the rock singer took to the stage in Manchester
42:35
Speaker 3: and in front of a fairly disinterested audience, it seemed
42:37
Speaker 3: he unleashed this tirade in.
42:43
Speaker 12: The America.
42:44
Speaker 10: I love the America has been making of whole liberty
42:51
Speaker 10: for two hundred and fifty years, is currently in the
42:54
Speaker 10: end of a prolatively.
42:56
Speaker 3: Competent Donald Trump has hit back at Bruce Springsteen. He
43:04
Speaker 3: has posted quite an attack back, calling Springsteen as dumb
43:12
Speaker 3: as a rock and a dried app prune of a roka,
43:15
Speaker 3: amongst other things. This feud is pretty interesting, Kinsey.
43:20
Speaker 15: It isn't you know? Financially people are struggling, and if
43:23
Speaker 15: I'm paying five hundred pounds for Springsteen, the only thing
43:27
Speaker 15: I want to hear is Born to Run. We get
43:29
Speaker 15: people's political opinions on Twitter and X for free all day,
43:34
Speaker 15: every day. The edginus associated with being an artist with
43:37
Speaker 15: a political opinion is totally gone. It's you know, it
43:41
Speaker 15: no longer makes you special. Just do your job or
43:43
Speaker 15: I want a refund.
43:46
Speaker 3: And you know what you think they would learn? Springsteen
43:49
Speaker 3: was so active during the election campaign, even performed for
43:53
Speaker 3: Kamala Harris at her rallies, and we saw the result.
43:57
Speaker 3: It was a comprehensive loss. Lost every sweet state, lost
44:00
Speaker 3: the popular vote, lost the electoral College by quite a margin.
44:04
Speaker 3: You think you just stick to his knitting rather than
44:08
Speaker 3: boring people with these ridiculous lectures. Meghan Markle, now we
44:13
Speaker 3: do love her, but that love seems to be not
44:16
Speaker 3: widespread because there's fresh Ugov polling showing that Megan Markle's
44:21
Speaker 3: fan base has reached a new load. She's got a
44:26
Speaker 3: favorability rating of just twenty percent, Kinsy. This is the
44:29
Speaker 3: lowest on record.
44:32
Speaker 15: What an awful anniversary, geft Rita. It's her wedding anniversary.
44:35
Speaker 15: You know, she's been so relentless lately trying to sell
44:38
Speaker 15: us the new and improved version of herself, and.
44:41
Speaker 3: People don't want it.
44:42
Speaker 15: You know, they've realized that the person that they led
44:44
Speaker 15: in the beginning, except for you because you saw it immediately,
44:48
Speaker 15: didn't really exist. So they have no emotional attachment to
44:52
Speaker 15: this woman in the way that they might still feel
44:54
Speaker 15: connected to Prince Harry. They're just like, we don't need you,
44:57
Speaker 15: we don't want you, we don't really know you, and
44:59
Speaker 15: we have no interest in you.
45:02
Speaker 3: Well, it is a bit like that. The more we
45:05
Speaker 3: see of her, the more inauthentic and boring she's. I mean,
45:09
Speaker 3: I think that's the most revealing thing. She's not that interesting,
45:14
Speaker 3: which could be why she's roping in controversial model and
45:18
Speaker 3: TV host Chrissy Tagan to feature in the second season
45:23
Speaker 3: of Meghan Mikael's cooking show with Love Meghan, Tell Me
45:26
Speaker 3: About This.
45:28
Speaker 15: Now Here's what Kills Me. Reader Meghan Markle has built
45:30
Speaker 15: much of her public image around speaking out against online
45:33
Speaker 15: abuse and cyberbullying, frequently referencing her own experiences to support
45:38
Speaker 15: her advocacy. That's what makes her connection to Christy Tagan
45:42
Speaker 15: so questionable. Tagan has openly admitted to harassing and urging
45:46
Speaker 15: a teenage girl, Courtney Stadden, to harm herself. Meghan can't
45:50
Speaker 15: play both sides. Can't campaign against digital cruelty while embracing
45:55
Speaker 15: someone who once embodied it. It sends the message that
45:58
Speaker 15: cyberbullying is own worth fighting against when it happens to
46:02
Speaker 15: you or fits your narrative.
46:06
Speaker 3: And again, not just the ugly online behavior from Chrisytigue
46:10
Speaker 3: and some of the things she has said over the years,
46:14
Speaker 3: some of the political positions she's taken a really polarizing,
46:19
Speaker 3: divisive figure. So for again for Megan to cozy up
46:22
Speaker 3: to her, but I think she's just desperate for any
46:25
Speaker 3: star power. Any celebrity who's willing to participate in this
46:28
Speaker 3: mess will be welcomed with open arms. Now to an
46:33
Speaker 3: independent ordered conducted by Price Waterhouse Coopers, and it found
46:38
Speaker 3: Kinsey that Justin Bieber still owes his former manager, Scooter
46:42
Speaker 3: Braun more than eight point eight million US, despite the
46:47
Speaker 3: fact that they parted ways some two years ago.
46:52
Speaker 15: Yeah, so we talk a lot on here about what
46:54
Speaker 15: we think is going on with Justin Bieber, and a
46:57
Speaker 15: part of me wonders if this could be a little
47:00
Speaker 15: bit of the issue. I mean, money issues can lead
47:03
Speaker 15: to irrational behavior. Financial stress. It can trigger fear, anxiety,
47:07
Speaker 15: and when people feel overwhelmed or out of control with
47:10
Speaker 15: their finances, they can make impulsive and emotional decisions, whether
47:13
Speaker 15: it's lashing out, which we've seen him yelling at paparazzi lately,
47:17
Speaker 15: making reckless purchases. I mean, the huge party he threw
47:21
Speaker 15: at Coachella had to be incredibly expensive. Blaming others, you know,
47:26
Speaker 15: it doesn't give Justin an excuse for some of his
47:28
Speaker 15: recent behavior, but it might give us a little bit
47:30
Speaker 15: more insight into what's been going on behind the scenes.
47:35
Speaker 3: Now, before you go, Katie Perry is no longer welcome
47:39
Speaker 3: at Vegas. This reports that they're not keen for her
47:44
Speaker 3: to continue her residency there. I can't imagine. Why have
47:47
Speaker 3: a look at this Kinsey. I'd pay top dollar to
48:05
Speaker 3: see dance moves like that, wouldn't you.
48:08
Speaker 15: Oh my gosh, you know, with all of the talent,
48:10
Speaker 15: the true talent that's in Vegas. No, the return on
48:13
Speaker 15: investment was not there for this casino, this hotel, and
48:16
Speaker 15: that Las Vegas residency that she just wrapped. You know,
48:19
Speaker 15: it quite simply wasn't the monetary success that they had
48:22
Speaker 15: needed to justify its existence.
48:28
Speaker 1: No.
48:29
Speaker 3: I've seen quite a few video clips, many of them
48:32
Speaker 3: have gone viral, and I've got to say, Kinsey, all
48:35
Speaker 3: of them are cringe worthy. There's none that you look
48:38
Speaker 3: at and go Okay, that's what you would expect from
48:41
Speaker 3: an A list star. Most of it is, like what
48:44
Speaker 3: we've just showed you, pretty qringe worthy. Kinsey Schofield, thank
48:47
Speaker 3: you so much for your time, and that's all the
48:50
Speaker 3: time we have. I'll see you tomorrow night at eleven.
48:53
Speaker 3: Don't go anywhere. Nears Night is up next
49:00
Speaker 1: Six
