Speaker 1: On scoring in Zastrolia. This is the Wader Panalty Show.
0:10
Speaker 2: Good evening and welcome to the readA Panety Show. Coming
0:13
Speaker 2: up tonight, the Albanizer government attempts to rain in the
0:16
Speaker 2: massive NDIS cost blowout. Nick Kata and Louis Roberts will
0:20
Speaker 2: join me to discuss that and much more. The brilliant
0:23
Speaker 2: Douglas Murray will join us before the first ad break.
0:26
Speaker 2: It don't want to miss that. John Heindereker will have
0:29
Speaker 2: the latest from the US, including a deepening crisis for
0:33
Speaker 2: the Democrats, and later in the hour, Kinsey Schofield will
0:37
Speaker 2: tell us why a Manhattan judge has rejected the Trump
0:41
Speaker 2: administration's bid to unseal the Jeffrey Epstein grand jury testimony
0:46
Speaker 2: and left he is losing. It features this dangerously dim
0:50
Speaker 2: witted actor. You may recognize him.
0:53
Speaker 3: The guys a monster. It's beyond rang It's almost like
0:57
Speaker 3: he wants to do the most horrible things that he
1:00
Speaker 3: can think of.
1:02
Speaker 2: But first, the Albanizer government has unveiled its plan to
1:05
Speaker 2: bring NDIS spending under control, reducing the schemes year on year,
1:10
Speaker 2: increasing costs from ten to twenty percent to four to
1:13
Speaker 2: six percent by twenty twenty seven by no longer accepting
1:17
Speaker 2: kids with mild and moderate autism, despite promises there would
1:22
Speaker 2: be no change to NDIS eligibility. Joining me now for
1:26
Speaker 2: more on this is mensi's Research Center. Senior fellow Nikata
1:29
Speaker 2: and Sky News contributor Louise roberts Nick. This is a
1:33
Speaker 2: broken promise, you could say, by labor, but one that
1:37
Speaker 2: is necessary.
1:40
Speaker 4: Yeah.
1:40
Speaker 1: There are good broken promises and bad broken promises.
1:43
Speaker 5: Aren't they.
1:44
Speaker 1: This sounds like it's a broken promise in the right direction.
1:48
Speaker 1: I do kind of worry though, that they're going to
1:50
Speaker 1: get rid of this from the NDIS and then just
1:53
Speaker 1: create another welfare scheme. So you know that size of
1:57
Speaker 1: the welfare check and the whole culture that go with
2:00
Speaker 1: it contributes. I'll tell you what I found so really
2:04
Speaker 1: discouraging about that report regionally, about the number of kids
2:08
Speaker 1: that are on this sort of being diagnosed as autism.
2:11
Speaker 1: I just really don't think we should be diagnosing kids
2:15
Speaker 1: too young. If we can help it. It's better that
2:17
Speaker 1: we give all the help we can get for whatever
2:19
Speaker 1: their issues. But you don't want to kind of pathologize
2:23
Speaker 1: a kid in the way that they'll permanently think, oh,
2:26
Speaker 1: I've got this terrible burden on me. You want them
2:29
Speaker 1: to be able to overcome it. And with something like autism,
2:32
Speaker 1: in most cases there are many ways you can overcome it.
2:35
Speaker 1: And I think what we should be encouraging.
2:37
Speaker 2: People Louisa reducing the scheme's growth to four to six
2:44
Speaker 2: percent per annum is still unsustainable, I would argue, because
2:50
Speaker 2: this has blown out so dramatically in a short number
2:54
Speaker 2: of years. And the number of children in particular who
2:58
Speaker 2: are covered in this scheme. You've got one in every
3:01
Speaker 2: six boys in grade two in the NDIS. I mean
3:06
Speaker 2: that just seems incredible.
3:08
Speaker 6: It does.
3:09
Speaker 7: And this new Thriving Kids scheme they're proposing to sort of,
3:12
Speaker 7: you know, stop the gap of children falling through if
3:15
Speaker 7: they're not covered by the NDIS is going to cost
3:17
Speaker 7: a lot of money as well. And I do feel
3:19
Speaker 7: that a diagnosis should be on reality, not based on
3:22
Speaker 7: a funding model. And unfortunately the NDIS brand, I feel
3:26
Speaker 7: it is broken because you don't think of it as
3:29
Speaker 7: something to help the most needy and vulnerable people in society.
3:32
Speaker 7: You immedate, your mind goes to roots, and people rip
3:35
Speaker 7: you off a system, and you know, as a system
3:38
Speaker 7: per se, it does need a major overhaul. But if
3:41
Speaker 7: thriving kids works, then great, But I think it may,
3:45
Speaker 7: as Nick says, usher in a lot more problems.
3:48
Speaker 2: Now, let's move along to this piece in the Age
3:51
Speaker 2: today that notes more than a quarter of Australian households
3:55
Speaker 2: only contain one person, but only six percent of homes
3:59
Speaker 2: are one bedroom apartments or studios. And of course then
4:04
Speaker 2: they go on to quote an expert who has this
4:06
Speaker 2: to say. It's perfectly acceptable and desirable for people to
4:10
Speaker 2: have spare bedrooms. But you could ask them to pay
4:14
Speaker 2: for it through a land tax, or you could incentivize
4:18
Speaker 2: them to move on through the abolition of stamp duty,
4:22
Speaker 2: or some combination of both. Nick, is this the solution
4:25
Speaker 2: to the housing crisis? Taxing spare bedrooms.
4:31
Speaker 1: Is up to every individual what they do with their house,
4:34
Speaker 1: right if you don't want an sometimes I feel like
4:37
Speaker 1: not having anybody else in the house, and that's fine,
4:39
Speaker 1: en up, I don't want to be fine for that.
4:42
Speaker 1: But again, you know this sort of spare bedroom tax idea,
4:47
Speaker 1: you know, it's just another way for the government to
4:49
Speaker 1: get money out of us. I have some sympathy with
4:51
Speaker 1: the idea that we should lower stamp duty, sure, because
4:55
Speaker 1: that's a big obstacle for a lot of people to
4:58
Speaker 1: downsize or to hand the property over to the kids
5:00
Speaker 1: or whatever. I mean. Stab duty is way too high
5:03
Speaker 1: and it stops all sorts of transactions which would otherwise
5:06
Speaker 1: go ahead and smooth and make their property market more
5:09
Speaker 1: efficient and houses more cheap. But you know, the idea
5:12
Speaker 1: that this is a problem that you're somehow sinning against
5:16
Speaker 1: humanity if you just leave an empty bedroom. Yeah, no,
5:20
Speaker 1: it's just it's just too much of the nanny state.
5:23
Speaker 2: Once again, Yeah, it's nanny's state, Luise. And it's also
5:28
Speaker 2: just trying to guilt homeowners that if you're one or
5:32
Speaker 2: two person household, you don't deserve to live in a
5:36
Speaker 2: three bedroom dwelling.
5:38
Speaker 7: This is such a ridiculous idea. And again, the housing
5:42
Speaker 7: crisis is not caused by homeowners. People who own these homes,
5:45
Speaker 7: as you say, Rita, you know, who work very hard
5:48
Speaker 7: all their lives and they've got Now I've got a
5:49
Speaker 7: home that they own and it's spacious. Maybe their kids
5:52
Speaker 7: have moved out, but that's not a crime. That's what
5:53
Speaker 7: happens in life. And it's not down to them to
5:56
Speaker 7: fix the housing crisis. It's on the government who are
5:58
Speaker 7: way behind on their housing target anyway, so to go
6:01
Speaker 7: after homeowners will be a very unpopular mood. And also
6:05
Speaker 7: to Nick's point, don't we pay enough taxes anyway? I
6:08
Speaker 7: mean why another one on top of.
6:09
Speaker 2: That, South Australian Premier Peter Malanascus has endorsed the end
6:14
Speaker 2: of woke, well sort of. He said, I think people
6:17
Speaker 2: are just becoming increasingly disinterested in the noise of being
6:21
Speaker 2: woke or anti woke, and they just want to know
6:24
Speaker 2: who in political leadership is occupying the common sense. Nick,
6:29
Speaker 2: that's a pretty disingenuous position to take. It's all well
6:32
Speaker 2: and good to say, you know, we're sick of woke
6:35
Speaker 2: or anti woke when his government is very woke enforcing
6:39
Speaker 2: a state based treaty on the population that clearly doesn't
6:44
Speaker 2: want it. Two and three South Australians voted no to
6:47
Speaker 2: the voice.
6:50
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I take it he hasn't spoken out against
6:52
Speaker 1: the AFL's ridiculous over the top ban on this poor
6:56
Speaker 1: player either, But yeah, I think let's be generous. I
7:00
Speaker 1: think what it does is it is another encouraging sign
7:04
Speaker 1: that we are in certainly past peak woke anyway, because
7:09
Speaker 1: if a labor premier, even one is reasonably moderate and
7:13
Speaker 1: sometimes vaguely sensible, like Peter melanowskis if he's coming out
7:17
Speaker 1: now and speaking out against it, and I think it
7:19
Speaker 1: shows that the tider's turned. Certainly, the word woke now
7:23
Speaker 1: is absolutely deadly or left. They hate just using it
7:27
Speaker 1: because it's been so effective. You know, they managed to
7:30
Speaker 1: find words to demonize us, and pick up words like
7:33
Speaker 1: coal and turn them into something you're not leaving it
7:35
Speaker 1: loud to think about. Now, this is an occasion when
7:39
Speaker 1: we've done it back to them.
7:42
Speaker 2: Well, it happens always with the words the left users
7:46
Speaker 2: to describe itself. They pick the word and very quickly
7:49
Speaker 2: that word becomes unfashionable and a slur almost. There's been
7:55
Speaker 2: so many social justice activists woke, progressive, they're all mean
8:00
Speaker 2: something other than what was initially intended. Now. Peter Malanascus
8:05
Speaker 2: also said this about young men becoming increasingly right wing
8:09
Speaker 2: and all the damaging messaging around toxic masculinity is that
8:13
Speaker 2: if we seem to be culturally disconnected from them, young
8:16
Speaker 2: men and boys, then they won't listen to us on
8:19
Speaker 2: anything else because we wouldn't represent what they're interested in.
8:24
Speaker 2: I don't know why we would consciously allow that to happen, Louise,
8:28
Speaker 2: They're left. In Australia, the smarter ones like the South
8:31
Speaker 2: Australian Premiere are recognizing the data that is showing young
8:36
Speaker 2: men are increasingly becoming right wing in a number of
8:40
Speaker 2: western countries.
8:42
Speaker 7: Well that's because certainly men and young men in Australia
8:44
Speaker 7: feel abandoned. They feel that they're you know, because they're male.
8:48
Speaker 7: That's a crime. And I think the South Australian Premium
8:51
Speaker 7: makes a great point that we have to separate the
8:53
Speaker 7: words toxic and masculinity and it will be catastrophic going
8:57
Speaker 7: forward for labor if they don't, you know, step into
8:59
Speaker 7: support the young men in this country who've been demonized
9:02
Speaker 7: four years. I've written about this at length because I
9:05
Speaker 7: feel ready passionately about the subjugation of young men and
9:09
Speaker 7: how they made you feel that they're sort of sexual
9:11
Speaker 7: predators and training and everything's wrong about what they do
9:14
Speaker 7: and their total outlook on life. So I was actually
9:17
Speaker 7: very relieved to see him step up and make these comments.
9:20
Speaker 6: The sort of woke stuff.
9:20
Speaker 7: Aside, I'm not sure why he went there, but certainly
9:23
Speaker 7: to go in and bat for young men in Australia.
9:25
Speaker 7: I thought was absolutely terrific.
9:29
Speaker 2: Nick Kta, Louis Roberts, thank you so much for your
9:31
Speaker 2: time tonight. Joining me now is the author of international
9:36
Speaker 2: best sellers including The Strange Death of Europe, The Matters
9:39
Speaker 2: of Crowds, The War on the West, and he is
9:41
Speaker 2: the latest on democracies and death cults. Douglas. Let's start
9:46
Speaker 2: in DC, where Donald Trump is tackling crime, to the
9:50
Speaker 2: dismay of Democrats and the media. But look at these
9:54
Speaker 2: crime statistics released by the DC Police Union showing a
9:58
Speaker 2: dramatic drop in crime since the announcement of federal control
10:02
Speaker 2: compared to the seven days prior. We're saying robbery is
10:06
Speaker 2: down forty six percent, carjackings down eighty three percent, violent
10:11
Speaker 2: crime down twenty two percent. Who can possibly be against
10:15
Speaker 2: that other than criminals.
10:20
Speaker 5: Well, the Democrats and other Trump critics, as feverish critics,
10:26
Speaker 5: have all been against this from the very beginning. It's
10:29
Speaker 5: extraordinary Trump has the President. Trump has a very straightforward thing,
10:34
Speaker 5: which is that DC, you know, should not be allowed
10:37
Speaker 5: to fall any more than any other American city, but
10:39
Speaker 5: also it should be looked after a little bit more
10:42
Speaker 5: than other American cities.
10:44
Speaker 8: Because it's the nation's.
10:45
Speaker 5: Capital, because it's the place where people arrive in statesman, politicians, businessmen,
10:52
Speaker 5: and tourists. And if Washington, DC is covered in homeless
10:58
Speaker 5: encampments and is rife with crime, then that's the sort
11:03
Speaker 5: of thing that makes people believe that this is a
11:05
Speaker 5: little symptom or big symptom of a much wider problem
11:09
Speaker 5: in the nation.
11:10
Speaker 8: And that's the main reason.
11:12
Speaker 5: Why Trump has decided to have this crackdown. As you've
11:17
Speaker 5: just shown there, it's clearly already working. And I just
11:21
Speaker 5: wish that, first of all, the critics of Trump would occasionally,
11:27
Speaker 5: if he does something that provably works, would give him
11:31
Speaker 5: some grace for it. And secondly that all of those
11:36
Speaker 5: extraordinarily preachy international figures who believe that he can never
11:41
Speaker 5: do anything right, wonder whether or not they would benefit
11:44
Speaker 5: from the same policies. For instance, I'd have thought that London,
11:48
Speaker 5: where I am at the moment, would certainly be out
11:50
Speaker 5: of benefit from, for instance, the police taking an interest in.
11:54
Speaker 8: Crime, But no, they don't want to do that.
11:57
Speaker 5: And you just have to think of all, just think
12:00
Speaker 5: of all of the tourists to a city who will
12:04
Speaker 5: be put off the city and the country for very
12:07
Speaker 5: considerable time if they experience or witness acts of criminality
12:12
Speaker 5: of the kind that Trump is trying to.
12:14
Speaker 8: Crack down on.
12:15
Speaker 2: Indeed, now you've written in the New York Post about
12:21
Speaker 2: the recent peace talks, the Alaska summit between President Trump
12:25
Speaker 2: and Vladimir Putin, and you argue Peuterin is still up
12:29
Speaker 2: to his old tricks, and Trump knows it. What do
12:33
Speaker 2: you mean by that?
12:36
Speaker 8: Well, the first meeting, the summit meeting.
12:39
Speaker 5: In Alaska between Trump and puter was very, very interesting.
12:44
Speaker 5: The fact that it happened at all was the first
12:47
Speaker 5: point of interest, and the second was that the meeting
12:51
Speaker 5: went on for some two and a half hours, and
12:53
Speaker 5: thirdly that the two leaders did come out and do
12:56
Speaker 5: a joint press conference after US President Trump had said
12:59
Speaker 5: that if there was absolutely no deal, he would walk away,
13:03
Speaker 5: or some viewers will remember, it's something that Trump is
13:05
Speaker 5: perfectly capable of doing, even at the most high stakes
13:08
Speaker 5: of meetings. In about twenty nineteen, twenty eighteen, twenty nineteen,
13:13
Speaker 5: he had the famous summit meeting after the Singapore Summit
13:16
Speaker 5: in Hanoi with Kim Yong Own. There was a huge
13:20
Speaker 5: fan for a huge build up as they had been
13:22
Speaker 5: before Alaska, and Trump realized there's absolutely nothing going Kim
13:25
Speaker 5: Yong owned wasn't going to budge, and he just walked
13:28
Speaker 5: out of the meeting. Trump just left and no press conference,
13:31
Speaker 5: no Razmat, has no anything, just off. So the fact
13:36
Speaker 5: that it went ahead and that afterwards the leaders appeared
13:41
Speaker 5: together is at least a sign that there is something
13:44
Speaker 5: to negotiate, There is something something on the table. Putin
13:51
Speaker 5: and Trump said there or Trump particularly said that there's
13:54
Speaker 5: one major issue which they haven't been able to agree on,
13:58
Speaker 5: and it's the main stumbling block. The presumption is that
14:01
Speaker 5: that's about whether or not that the Russians should be
14:03
Speaker 5: allowed to continue to hold territory they've already stolen from
14:07
Speaker 5: the Ukrainians, and that's that's that's a major issue and
14:12
Speaker 5: a major problem that's going to be addressed. But at least,
14:15
Speaker 5: at least the whole the whole thing showed that, first
14:19
Speaker 5: of all, it could happen. Secondly that I think, again
14:23
Speaker 5: a lot of Trump critics are giving him credit for this.
14:27
Speaker 8: He by no means sort of fell into Putin's arms,
14:30
Speaker 8: as as as.
14:31
Speaker 5: A lot of people would like to pretend he was
14:33
Speaker 5: extremely cautious in the joint press conference.
14:36
Speaker 8: He was polite, but he.
14:38
Speaker 5: Was by no means sort of nodding along and smiling
14:42
Speaker 5: along to Putin. He was very careful, and I think
14:45
Speaker 5: that's because he knows, as of course he would that
14:48
Speaker 5: that that Putin is an exceptionally slippery character to be
14:54
Speaker 5: negotiating with. And Trump has of course been bitten before
14:58
Speaker 5: from Putin promising thing and then doing quite the opposite.
15:02
Speaker 8: So we'll see. But it's at least the start.
15:07
Speaker 2: It is. And since the Alaska summit, we've seen the
15:11
Speaker 2: European leaders travel to the White House for further discussions,
15:15
Speaker 2: and now Douglas, President Old Trump is saying, here has
15:18
Speaker 2: begun arrangements for a face to face meeting between Putin
15:22
Speaker 2: and Zelenski to discuss and enter this war. Douglas, that
15:27
Speaker 2: would have been thought unthinkable not too long ago. It
15:30
Speaker 2: would be astonishing if that were to take place. And
15:35
Speaker 2: do you see that sort of meeting being possible?
15:39
Speaker 5: It certainly is possible, and if Trump wants to make
15:42
Speaker 5: it happen, I suspect it will happen. It's been extremely
15:48
Speaker 5: thought meeting because not only is there a dispute about
15:53
Speaker 5: the future about land swaps, prisoner exchanges, and much more.
16:01
Speaker 5: There's also, of course, this fundamental thing which has kept
16:04
Speaker 5: coming across, which came across from Putin, Alaska, which is
16:08
Speaker 5: what were the causes of the conflict.
16:10
Speaker 8: Now Putin has a sort.
16:12
Speaker 5: Of a fantastical version of this, of course, where his
16:18
Speaker 5: troops rolled into Ukraine to try to take the whole thing,
16:22
Speaker 5: to seize it from Nazis. I mean, it's you know, Zelenski,
16:28
Speaker 5: of course, is in this position of representing a country
16:32
Speaker 5: that has been brutalized by Putin's aggression, totally unwarranted aggression
16:37
Speaker 5: by Putin, and I suspect that's going to be one
16:41
Speaker 5: of the very difficult things, especially I think for Zelensky
16:44
Speaker 5: during any such meeting, is that Putin just has a
16:48
Speaker 5: completely counterhistorical, counterfactual version of this.
16:52
Speaker 8: What he talked about even Alaska as if the war.
16:55
Speaker 5: He acknowledged the tragedy of the war, talked about it
17:00
Speaker 5: as if it was a natural disaster.
17:03
Speaker 8: You have to just sort of clear up afterwards. But
17:05
Speaker 8: he is the disaster.
17:08
Speaker 5: A Putin was the hurricane that tried to invade and
17:12
Speaker 5: overrun his neighbors.
17:13
Speaker 8: So there will be a lot of problems at.
17:16
Speaker 5: Any face to face meeting, even before you get on
17:19
Speaker 5: to the issue of how you actually get to a
17:22
Speaker 5: cease fire and some kind of permanent agreement.
17:27
Speaker 2: Now to a story by Christopher Rufo, who does fantastic
17:32
Speaker 2: work in exposing the worst of academia, he reports Harvard
17:36
Speaker 2: University's Center for Middle Eastern Studies is co sponsoring an
17:41
Speaker 2: event featuring Sammy Alarian. This is a man Douglas, who
17:45
Speaker 2: has pled guilty to in the past to providing assistance
17:49
Speaker 2: to a US designated terror organization that specializes in suicide bombings.
17:56
Speaker 2: What is Harvard thinking costpond through an event like this.
18:02
Speaker 8: It's so crazy. I mean, Alarian is somebody who's been
18:05
Speaker 8: on the radar a lot of us for a very
18:07
Speaker 8: long time.
18:08
Speaker 5: Why any student in America should need to get a
18:11
Speaker 5: suicide bombing instruction or terrorism encouragement from such a figure,
18:18
Speaker 5: I just don't know.
18:19
Speaker 8: And it's utter lunency of Harvard at this stage.
18:23
Speaker 5: And it's involved perhaps the most prominent university in America
18:26
Speaker 5: to be involved in a struggle with the Trump administration over.
18:30
Speaker 8: Precisely these sorts of issues.
18:32
Speaker 5: It's just madness for Harvard to post something as provocative.
18:36
Speaker 5: But you go back to that root question you and
18:39
Speaker 5: I have talked about before, Eato, which is what do
18:41
Speaker 5: these institutions think? Therefore, what does Harvard University actually think
18:47
Speaker 5: it's for? What do these universities think the purpose of
18:50
Speaker 5: university education is? Is it that the student should get
18:53
Speaker 5: heavily into debt and have their studies subsidized by the
18:58
Speaker 5: American tax to learn how to do terrorism and to
19:03
Speaker 5: learn justifications for terrorism and reasons for terrorism from terrorists.
19:08
Speaker 5: Or is it to actually learn something practical and develop practical,
19:13
Speaker 5: usable skills that are going to further not only the
19:17
Speaker 5: career of the student in question, but advance the interests
19:22
Speaker 5: and the capabilities and the innovation of the country that's
19:26
Speaker 5: educating them.
19:27
Speaker 8: Like, what is the point here?
19:28
Speaker 5: And it seems to me is it has to a
19:30
Speaker 5: lot of Americans in recent years that the places like
19:34
Speaker 5: Harvard have just completely lost.
19:36
Speaker 8: The plot of what they are actually there to do.
19:39
Speaker 5: And nothing can exemplify that more than something as preposterous
19:44
Speaker 5: as this. They will, of course at Harvard cry free
19:49
Speaker 5: each You just.
19:50
Speaker 8: Have to say, you know, free speech is absolutely vital.
19:53
Speaker 5: I spent much of my life defending it, and it
19:56
Speaker 5: is a core bedrock principle.
19:58
Speaker 8: But even without.
19:59
Speaker 5: Their being an illegality. You have to say, what do
20:02
Speaker 5: you want to use the speech for? And you just
20:06
Speaker 5: can watch. It's not a criminal matter, it's not a
20:09
Speaker 5: civing matter. It's just a matter of watching. And if somebody,
20:12
Speaker 5: if an institution says we don't want you to crack
20:14
Speaker 5: down on our free speech, mister Trump, etc. You go, okay,
20:18
Speaker 5: and what are you using speech for? Oh, you're using
20:21
Speaker 5: it to bring terrorists onto campus to educate the next generation.
20:26
Speaker 8: That is an odd thing to do with.
20:29
Speaker 5: Such a fundamental right, to put it at its latest, it.
20:35
Speaker 2: Is an odd thing to do. And if you're going
20:38
Speaker 2: to claim a free speech then you better be consistent
20:41
Speaker 2: about it. And Harvard and other universities have not been.
20:45
Speaker 2: You can't hardly get a mainstream conservative on campus without
20:50
Speaker 2: all sorts of uproar from the staff as well as
20:54
Speaker 2: the students. So yeah, the free speech argument rings a
20:57
Speaker 2: little bit hollow when it comes from the likes of
20:59
Speaker 2: Harvard Douglas. I want to ask you about what's happening
21:02
Speaker 2: in the UK with the Tories. They should be flying
21:05
Speaker 2: in the polls. We've got the Keir Starma government. They're inept,
21:08
Speaker 2: Labor is flailing, but The Tories are also struggling their
21:13
Speaker 2: trailing reform, and their leader is on the BBC talking
21:17
Speaker 2: about getting kids expelled at school.
21:21
Speaker 9: I was the person who would say, that person is
21:24
Speaker 9: copying notes from the other person. I was the taple
21:26
Speaker 9: tale in the class, like telling you getting people into
21:29
Speaker 9: trouble because I hear even then I hate to cheating
21:31
Speaker 9: because there I was, you know, I wanted to be
21:33
Speaker 9: first in the class, and I've done all the work
21:35
Speaker 9: and then there's some people who are copying notes, and
21:37
Speaker 9: so why should they get away with it? They stood
21:39
Speaker 9: up in the believe the exam, and I stood up
21:40
Speaker 9: and said he's cheating. He's the one that's doing it.
21:43
Speaker 9: And that boy ended up getting expelled and I didn't
21:46
Speaker 9: get praised for it.
21:49
Speaker 2: Now, I've been an admirer of Kemie Badanock, but who
21:53
Speaker 2: is advising her? This story isn't endearing. I mean, why
21:58
Speaker 2: she spending any sort of valuable airtime she has coming
22:04
Speaker 2: across on some some dibber dobba.
22:08
Speaker 5: Yes, I didn't think that was the wisest story to tell, because,
22:12
Speaker 5: as you say, Rita, it's not an enormously sort of human.
22:17
Speaker 8: Ising story to her.
22:21
Speaker 5: I think the reason why kemmy badnock told that would
22:25
Speaker 5: have been because she does have and she has talked
22:29
Speaker 5: about this basic sense of fairness that she's right to
22:32
Speaker 5: recognize exists in the British people. And I think she's
22:38
Speaker 5: actually right in a way, and it's an unfortunate part
22:41
Speaker 5: of that interview that but I think actually she's right
22:44
Speaker 5: to talk.
22:44
Speaker 8: To this issue of fairness because a lot of.
22:47
Speaker 5: The things that the left have been saying in recent
22:50
Speaker 5: years about a whole range of policies, whether it's a
22:55
Speaker 5: minority rights issues, whether it's a legal migration issues or
22:58
Speaker 5: legal migwaginess issues, they talk about it in terms of rights.
23:04
Speaker 5: It's always got to be about we have to do
23:08
Speaker 5: this because our obligations are under various rights laws, or
23:11
Speaker 5: we can't take this person out of the country who
23:15
Speaker 5: abuse our country because of his rights, always his rights usually,
23:20
Speaker 5: But there is another way of looking at that, which
23:23
Speaker 5: is actually a more conservative way, which told say, you know,
23:26
Speaker 5: we don't need legislation, let alone foreign legislation, to make
23:30
Speaker 5: these decisions about the future for our country. What the
23:33
Speaker 5: British people seek, I think, like the Australian people and
23:36
Speaker 5: the people of American they seek fairness in the system.
23:40
Speaker 5: They want the system to be fair, for instance, that
23:45
Speaker 5: people who have paid into the system are given priority
23:48
Speaker 5: over people who have never paid in when it comes
23:51
Speaker 5: to taking out from the system. So yes, I agree
23:55
Speaker 5: with you, Hereta. It's not the most endearing story. I
23:59
Speaker 5: don't know who good I said to tell it, if
24:01
Speaker 5: anyone indeed did.
24:03
Speaker 8: But I do think there's a esteem.
24:07
Speaker 5: Of conservative attack in there somewhere which is worth picking
24:11
Speaker 5: up because if you look at whether it's street protests
24:14
Speaker 5: against the illegal migration or a growing sense that you
24:17
Speaker 5: know of the number of people are not sharing tax burden,
24:21
Speaker 5: it does come down to that thing of fairness and.
24:24
Speaker 8: Cheating the people who do cheat and cheat the system.
24:29
Speaker 8: So yes, there is something in it.
24:34
Speaker 2: Douglas Murray, thank you so much for your time tonight.
24:38
Speaker 8: That's a pleasure as always.
24:39
Speaker 2: Thank you still to calm Lefty is Losing It plus
24:43
Speaker 2: the laters from the US, including a deepening crisis for
24:47
Speaker 2: the Democrats. John Heinereicher is up next. You're watching the
25:03
Speaker 2: Reader Panny Show, and it's time for left is Losing
25:06
Speaker 2: It and the man who would win a gold medal
25:09
Speaker 2: in the Teds Olympics once great actor reduced to a
25:12
Speaker 2: pitiful clown. Robert de Niro is again sharing his keen
25:17
Speaker 2: political insights that nobody asked for. Remember when he said
25:21
Speaker 2: Donald Trump would come after.
25:23
Speaker 10: Him if he was re elected, nothing at all, nothing
25:26
Speaker 10: redeemable in him. It can't be, it cannot be. If
25:31
Speaker 10: he is he wins the election, you won't be on
25:35
Speaker 10: the show anymore.
25:36
Speaker 2: He'll come looking for me.
25:38
Speaker 10: There'll be things that happened that none of us can imagine.
25:45
Speaker 10: That's what happens in that kind of a dictatorship.
25:48
Speaker 2: Well, donald Trump was re elected, it can be, Robert,
25:52
Speaker 2: and it was, And somehow, incredibly, Robert de Niro isn't
25:56
Speaker 2: in a prison camp, he isn't silenced in any way. Indeed,
26:00
Speaker 2: he's on television making an absolute full of himself. Again,
26:04
Speaker 2: let's listen to this latest deranged, delusional, diabolically dumb die tribe.
26:11
Speaker 3: It's about right and wrong period. The guys are monsters
26:16
Speaker 3: beyond wrong. It's almost like he wants to do the
26:20
Speaker 3: most horrible things that he can think of in order
26:23
Speaker 3: to get a rise out of us. I don't know
26:25
Speaker 3: what it is, but he's been doing it and doing it,
26:28
Speaker 3: and it's scary.
26:32
Speaker 2: Yes, well, the horrible things Donald Trump is inflicting on America,
26:36
Speaker 2: like bringing back manufacturing, solving the border crisis, reducing the
26:42
Speaker 2: cost of living, not to mention doing peace stills around
26:47
Speaker 2: the world from Armenian Azerbajan to Rwanda and the Congo
26:51
Speaker 2: and several others just in recent months. But while Robert
26:56
Speaker 2: de Niro rants like a demented fool, here is another
26:59
Speaker 2: perspective did from the acting world. This is a Hollywood superstar,
27:03
Speaker 2: Chris Pratt. See if you can detect the subtle difference
27:07
Speaker 2: between the deranged and hero and what Chris has to say.
27:12
Speaker 11: I'd hate to be so marred and hatred for the
27:15
Speaker 11: president that any success from his administration is something I'd
27:19
Speaker 11: have an allergic.
27:19
Speaker 12: Reaction to to be like, oh, well, if they do it,
27:22
Speaker 12: I don't want it to happen.
27:23
Speaker 4: I'll feed my I'll put clarox in my children's cereal myself.
27:27
Speaker 6: You know, I'd say some be reasonable here. There's certain
27:30
Speaker 6: things that would be a good thing to have.
27:32
Speaker 8: I want them on success.
27:33
Speaker 2: Now, let's marvel at Charlie Kirk embarrassing Oxford students during
27:38
Speaker 2: a debate about whether Donald Trump has gone too far.
27:41
Speaker 2: I could play you a whole program of this sort
27:44
Speaker 2: of content. But this next twenty five second clip sums
27:47
Speaker 2: it all up.
27:49
Speaker 7: Trump has deported American citizens to comps without fair trial,
27:53
Speaker 7: but the opposition will still tell you he has not
27:56
Speaker 7: gone too.
27:56
Speaker 11: First, I'll give you a thousand pounds right now if
27:58
Speaker 11: you could tell me the US is an that was
28:00
Speaker 11: deported under Donald Trump. Yeah, the US citizen that was
28:03
Speaker 11: deported under Donald Trump. Can anyone tell me thousand pounds
28:05
Speaker 11: to give with you right now? Yeah?
28:06
Speaker 2: Name wrong?
28:07
Speaker 11: Not a US citizen, Citisen L. Salbert or anywhere else.
28:10
Speaker 11: US citizen deported under Trump. Nope, that was a lie.
28:13
Speaker 11: You should know better than that.
28:14
Speaker 8: You got to Oxford.
28:15
Speaker 2: Perhaps Oxford can welcome this next academic who is fleeing
28:19
Speaker 2: America to do her science, as she calls it, in
28:23
Speaker 2: a better country.
28:25
Speaker 13: I'm an associate professor at the University of California Institution.
28:32
Speaker 5: And I'm starting to talk because I'm going to lead in.
28:35
Speaker 7: The United States with my family to start a life
28:39
Speaker 7: and do my science study climate change and sustainable Zebo.
28:43
Speaker 2: To DC now, and here is a master class in
28:47
Speaker 2: how to handle lefties losing it. You point out them,
28:50
Speaker 2: you explain why their position is absurd, and then you laugh.
28:55
Speaker 2: Let's see Vice President jd Vance and Defense Secretary Pete
28:58
Speaker 2: hegxet demonstrate that perfectly.
29:08
Speaker 8: This is the guy that makes people a low order
29:10
Speaker 8: in their own community.
29:18
Speaker 2: Superb work. That guy thinks people don't deserve law and
29:21
Speaker 2: order in DC. And you know who else thinks that?
29:24
Speaker 2: It's the media? And here jd Vance treats a stupid
29:28
Speaker 2: question from the media with the disdain it deserves.
29:32
Speaker 14: I'm sorry. Polls show that a majority of DC residents
29:35
Speaker 14: don't support the guard here.
29:36
Speaker 8: So what's your message to the majority of DC residents.
29:39
Speaker 14: I'm highly skeptical that a majority of DC residents don't
29:41
Speaker 14: want their city to be to have.
29:43
Speaker 8: Better public safety and more reasonable safety standards within.
29:48
Speaker 6: Washington, DC.
29:50
Speaker 13: I don't know what pool you're talking about, maybe the
29:52
Speaker 13: seat of Poles except Kamala Harrison in the popular world
29:54
Speaker 13: likes and bullies.
29:56
Speaker 2: And White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller had
29:59
Speaker 2: a what a advice will and I quote these stupid
30:02
Speaker 2: white hippies who are demonstrating against the law and auto
30:07
Speaker 2: crackdown in DC.
30:08
Speaker 14: All these demonstrators that you've seen out here in recent days,
30:11
Speaker 14: all of these elderly white hippies.
30:14
Speaker 8: They're not part of the city.
30:15
Speaker 5: Never happened.
30:16
Speaker 14: And by the way, most of the citizens who live
30:18
Speaker 14: in Washington, DC are black. This is not a city
30:22
Speaker 14: that has had any safety for its black citizens for generations.
30:29
Speaker 14: And President Trump is the one who is fixing that
30:31
Speaker 14: with the support Land Metropolitan of the Police Department, the
30:34
Speaker 14: support of the National part and our federal l enforcement officers.
30:37
Speaker 8: So we're going to.
30:38
Speaker 14: Ignore these stupid white hippies and a need to go
30:41
Speaker 14: holm a ticket now because they're all over ninety years old,
30:44
Speaker 14: and we're going to get back from the business of
30:46
Speaker 14: protecting the American people and the citizens.
30:48
Speaker 8: Of Washington News.
30:49
Speaker 2: Joining me now is President of the Center of the
30:51
Speaker 2: American Experiment, John Heindereicher. John, we will get to the
30:55
Speaker 2: peace talk shortly, but let's start with the Democrats, and
30:59
Speaker 2: they are in crisis mode, with data showing the party
31:02
Speaker 2: is bleeding support. The New York Times reports that in
31:06
Speaker 2: the thirty states that track voter registration by political party,
31:10
Speaker 2: Democrats lost ground two Republicans in every single one between
31:14
Speaker 2: twenty twenty and twenty twenty four, and in some states
31:17
Speaker 2: by quite a lot. The four year swing towards the
31:20
Speaker 2: Republicans adds up to four point five million voters. John,
31:25
Speaker 2: That is grim for the Democrats, with The Times also
31:28
Speaker 2: reporting that the party saw some of its steepest declines
31:32
Speaker 2: in registrations among young voters, and Donald Trump has been
31:37
Speaker 2: instrumental in that rita.
31:39
Speaker 4: The Democrats really are panicking, in part because that report
31:43
Speaker 4: comes from their newspaper, The New York Times. And as
31:47
Speaker 4: you say, thirty out of thirty states, it's a nationwide trend,
31:51
Speaker 4: and it's strongest among young people and also among minorities.
31:55
Speaker 4: And that's a key point too, because the Democrats strategy
31:59
Speaker 4: has then to build a permanent winning coalition that's based
32:04
Speaker 4: primarily on minority voters. That strategy right now is not
32:08
Speaker 4: looking good at all. And so, yeah, the Democrats really
32:11
Speaker 4: are in a padic, John.
32:14
Speaker 2: The New York Times analysis also shows that this trend
32:18
Speaker 2: is not new. It's been evident for months, for years.
32:22
Speaker 2: In fact, in twenty eighteen, Democrats accounted for thirty four
32:26
Speaker 2: percent of new voter registrations nationwide, Republicans were only twenty percent,
32:31
Speaker 2: But by twenty twenty four, Republicans were overtaking the Democrats
32:36
Speaker 2: among new registrants. Can the Republicans maintain this momentum beyond
32:43
Speaker 2: Donald Trump.
32:46
Speaker 4: I think so Donald Trump is really the candidate of
32:48
Speaker 4: common sense, and I think there are others who can
32:51
Speaker 4: pick up that mantle and carry it effectively. The Democrats
32:55
Speaker 4: problem isn't so much Donald Trump as it is the
32:58
Speaker 4: fact that they've gone crazy on the issues. They're pro crime,
33:02
Speaker 4: they have this whole trans thing going on, absolutely no
33:07
Speaker 4: restraint when it comes to spending, and so it seems
33:11
Speaker 4: to me that even after Donald Trump is gone, in
33:14
Speaker 4: order to come back, the Democrats are going to have
33:18
Speaker 4: to become a more mainstream party on the issues.
33:23
Speaker 2: Well, talking about going crazy, let's hear from MSNBC pundit
33:27
Speaker 2: Mully Fast. If the Democrats listen to this advice, John,
33:32
Speaker 2: then they deserve what's coming.
33:35
Speaker 15: Why are Democrats not Why are the polls back? Why
33:40
Speaker 15: are they not breaking through? And I think it's a
33:42
Speaker 15: couple of things. I think one is the people who
33:44
Speaker 15: are breaking through are brave, right, they talk about humans,
33:48
Speaker 15: They make the case Chris Murphy, Sharon Brown, Mondami, these
33:53
Speaker 15: people AOC. They're not all exactly the same politically, but
33:58
Speaker 15: they are the same in the fact that they're brave
34:00
Speaker 15: and they break through.
34:03
Speaker 2: I'd argue they are all the same politically, Jon, there
34:07
Speaker 2: you go. You've got ma'm danni and Ioca. Are they
34:10
Speaker 2: the solution to the democrats problems?
34:14
Speaker 4: Yes, Rita, they're the saying they're socialists. We've got one
34:17
Speaker 4: here in Minneapolis, you know where I live. There's a
34:20
Speaker 4: guy named Omar Fonte who's an avowed socialist who's running
34:24
Speaker 4: and is now the favorite to become the mayor of Minneapolis.
34:27
Speaker 4: And I don't even understand the idea being of socialist.
34:31
Speaker 4: I mean, America is not going to become a socialist
34:34
Speaker 4: country and New York is not going to become a
34:37
Speaker 4: socialist city. You know, this is a kind of a
34:40
Speaker 4: luxury that certain voters who are limited to blue urban
34:47
Speaker 4: areas can indulge. But outside of that handful of blue
34:51
Speaker 4: urban areas, there is no support for this kind of
34:55
Speaker 4: fire leftism.
34:58
Speaker 2: John, we should have given a tree warning before this discussion,
35:01
Speaker 2: because I think Democrats are going to be pretty disturbed
35:05
Speaker 2: by what they're going to hear next.
35:08
Speaker 13: Breaking tonight, Texas Republican legislators have just won their fight
35:12
Speaker 13: over redistricting just moments ago. The state House vote is
35:16
Speaker 13: now final. The bill aims to provide five additional congressional
35:20
Speaker 13: seats for the GOP.
35:24
Speaker 2: John How significant is this redistricting and are the states
35:29
Speaker 2: looking at doing the same thing?
35:31
Speaker 4: Well, read, of course, what's going on here is that
35:34
Speaker 4: the Democrats have been jerrymandering for decades, and now that
35:38
Speaker 4: the Republicans are trying to catch up, they're all up
35:41
Speaker 4: in arms about it. But Democratic states like California, Illinois,
35:45
Speaker 4: and Massachusetts and Maryland others are already heavily jerrymandered. Texas
35:51
Speaker 4: isn't jerrymanderd at all, and so it's going to be
35:54
Speaker 4: very difficult for the Democrats to respond effectively to this
35:57
Speaker 4: because they've already wrung a about as many needs they
36:01
Speaker 4: can out of the states that they control.
36:06
Speaker 2: That is exactly true, and the absolute meltdown over the
36:11
Speaker 2: Republicans starting to do what they've been doing for years
36:15
Speaker 2: has been very amusing to observe. Now, let's discuss the
36:18
Speaker 2: extraordinary talks of the past week, starting with the Alaskan
36:22
Speaker 2: summit between President Trump and Vladimir Putin that saw European
36:27
Speaker 2: leaders fly to the White House within forty eight hours
36:30
Speaker 2: and in the hopes that a lasting peace agreement could
36:33
Speaker 2: be struck. Between Russia and Ukraine. But vpjd Vance has
36:38
Speaker 2: made it clear that it is Europe that must carry
36:41
Speaker 2: the burden, that cannot continue to rely on the US
36:45
Speaker 2: to play the leading role.
36:48
Speaker 8: Well, I don't think we should carry the burden here.
36:50
Speaker 11: I think that we should be helpful if it's necessary
36:52
Speaker 11: to stop the war and to stop the killing. But
36:55
Speaker 11: I think that we should expect, and the President certainly expects,
36:58
Speaker 11: Europe to play.
36:58
Speaker 8: The leading role here.
37:00
Speaker 5: No matter what happens, no matter what form this takes,
37:03
Speaker 5: the Europeans are going to have to take the line's
37:05
Speaker 5: share of the burden.
37:08
Speaker 2: John, is Europe up to the task, not yet Rita.
37:13
Speaker 4: To be fair, they've made significant strides really since the
37:17
Speaker 4: first Trump administration. He's been leaning on them to improve
37:20
Speaker 4: their defense capabilities, and they have made some pretty serious
37:23
Speaker 4: efforts in that direction. But I think the more significant
37:27
Speaker 4: point as far as Ukraine is concerned is no, the
37:29
Speaker 4: Europeans are not yet ready to really take on that burden,
37:33
Speaker 4: but the United States is participating in the security guarantees
37:38
Speaker 4: that are being given to Ukraine. We are not going
37:41
Speaker 4: to have soldiers on the ground, but I believe that
37:44
Speaker 4: the agreement is going to provide that the US will
37:47
Speaker 4: provide air cover to protect Ukraine and Rita. No one
37:52
Speaker 4: wants to mess with the United States Air Force.
37:57
Speaker 2: No, absolutely not. What do you think about the plan
38:01
Speaker 2: to bring Pewtin and Zelensky together? Donald Trump has said
38:05
Speaker 2: he wants them to have a face to face meeting
38:08
Speaker 2: to hash this out. Do you see that as feasible.
38:13
Speaker 4: Well, it's really up to them, reader, but I think
38:15
Speaker 4: it should be feasible. They are the ones that have
38:18
Speaker 4: to solve this problem. They are the ones. They hate it.
38:21
Speaker 4: They won't hate, you know, having to make a peace agreement,
38:24
Speaker 4: but they've got to do it. They're the only ones
38:26
Speaker 4: who can do it. And I think Trump is right
38:28
Speaker 4: to say that the time has come for these two
38:31
Speaker 4: guys to sit down, face to face and hammer out
38:34
Speaker 4: an agreement that neither of them is going to like,
38:37
Speaker 4: but that both of them can live with.
38:40
Speaker 2: John Let's hear from Keir Starman now, who bizarrely claims
38:44
Speaker 2: that there is not a family in the UK that
38:46
Speaker 2: has not been personally impacted by the Russian Ukrainian War.
38:51
Speaker 16: The war in Ukrainius had a huge impact, particularly on
38:55
Speaker 16: the Ukrainians who bulled the front of it, but It's
38:57
Speaker 16: also had an impact on Europe and on the United Kingdom.
39:01
Speaker 16: There's not a family or community that hasn't been affected.
39:05
Speaker 2: John, These European leaders have had three and a half
39:08
Speaker 2: years to do something about ending this war. It looks
39:10
Speaker 2: like the Trump administration we'll have to play a leading
39:14
Speaker 2: role in securing lasting peace.
39:17
Speaker 4: Well, Rita, we need to have a US, lasting US presidence.
39:20
Speaker 4: You know who else had three and a half years
39:22
Speaker 4: to address this problem. Joe Biden did, and of course.
39:25
Speaker 2: He did well. Of course nothing and nobody.
39:29
Speaker 4: Thinks that people like Starmer and Macron are really going
39:31
Speaker 4: to be able to contribute a great deal here.
39:34
Speaker 1: You don't.
39:35
Speaker 4: At that session they had at the White House a
39:37
Speaker 4: few days ago with all of the European leaders present,
39:41
Speaker 4: the President of Finland said, we've made more progress in
39:45
Speaker 4: the last two weeks than we've made in the preceding
39:47
Speaker 4: three and a half years. In Georgia, Maloney, who I
39:50
Speaker 4: like a lot, said yeah, something has changed. Well, I
39:55
Speaker 4: think we all know what something is. Something is Joe
39:58
Speaker 4: Biden is often arrest home somewhe and Donald Trump is
40:01
Speaker 4: in the White House, and I'm hopeful, reader, it's up
40:04
Speaker 4: to the parties. It's up to Ukraine and Russia. They're
40:06
Speaker 4: the ones that have to make the deal. But I'm
40:09
Speaker 4: hopeful that we are finally going to see peace in Ukraine.
40:14
Speaker 2: I'm hopeful too, John Heinderreka, thank you so much for
40:17
Speaker 2: your time. Tonight still to come. Why Manhattan judge has
40:21
Speaker 2: rejected the Trump administration's bid to unseal the Jeffrey Epstein
40:26
Speaker 2: grand jury testimony. Kinsey Schofield has the details. Welcome back.
40:42
Speaker 2: Joining me now is celebrity and royal commentator Kinsey Schofield. Kinsey,
40:47
Speaker 2: a Manhattan federal judge, has rejected the Trump administration's bid
40:51
Speaker 2: to unseal the Jeffrey Epstein grand jury testimonies, saying that
40:56
Speaker 2: it failed to demonstrate any special circumstance that would justify
41:01
Speaker 2: releasing the transcripts. Kitty, how is this decision being received?
41:06
Speaker 2: Surely it's in the public interest to release the testimonias
41:10
Speaker 2: as long as the victims are protected.
41:13
Speaker 12: No, I agree with you, But anytime new Epstein records
41:16
Speaker 12: are blocked, it fuels more curiosity and suspicion. Conspiracy theories
41:21
Speaker 12: thrive in that vacuum because the less people know, the
41:24
Speaker 12: more they fill in the blanks themselves and with the
41:26
Speaker 12: Trump administration having promised transparency but failing to deliver on it,
41:31
Speaker 12: the public's distrust seems to deepen when it comes to
41:34
Speaker 12: this story. But look, the judge said, the entire investigation
41:38
Speaker 12: file is already in the DOJ's hands and seems more
41:42
Speaker 12: substantial compared to the requests slash rejected documents. So I
41:47
Speaker 12: think the judge is saying, you guys have a lot here.
41:52
Speaker 2: Now. We haven't talked about this character for a while.
41:55
Speaker 2: Conservative influencer Ashley Sinclair has clive that she could be
42:00
Speaker 2: evicted amid her ongoing child support battle with Elon Musk,
42:05
Speaker 2: the alleged father of her seven month old son, Romulus Kinsey.
42:11
Speaker 2: What more can you tell me about this?
42:13
Speaker 12: Oh?
42:13
Speaker 6: Yes.
42:14
Speaker 12: To combat her eviction, Ashley Saint Clair has launched a
42:17
Speaker 12: new pat podcast called Bad Advice. She admitted that she's
42:21
Speaker 12: made many questionable life choices and has a gap in
42:24
Speaker 12: her LinkedIn profile that cannot be legally explained. She even warned,
42:29
Speaker 12: I actually think I have the worst ideas, so consider
42:32
Speaker 12: everything out of my mouth.
42:34
Speaker 6: I cautionary tale.
42:35
Speaker 12: She's you know, she claims her opinions for or She
42:39
Speaker 12: claims her options for income were little Tonne after she
42:43
Speaker 12: revealed that Elon Musk was allegedly the father of her child. Clearly,
42:47
Speaker 12: she's self deprecating and has a good sense of humor,
42:50
Speaker 12: so good luck to her.
42:53
Speaker 2: I'd be surprised if that was true. And surely the
42:57
Speaker 2: world's richest man isn't going to have his baby mama,
43:01
Speaker 2: one of one of his many baby mamas and son
43:04
Speaker 2: out on the streets. I mean, really is that likely?
43:08
Speaker 2: And didn't she get a big payout from Elon Musk
43:11
Speaker 2: not too long ago?
43:13
Speaker 12: Well, he offered her a huge payout to stay quiet,
43:17
Speaker 12: and they say that she was just she was very
43:20
Speaker 12: envious watching his life next to Trump and wanted to
43:23
Speaker 12: be a part of the show and just couldn't take
43:25
Speaker 12: being this you know the secret. He does claim that
43:29
Speaker 12: he gives her a significant amount of money, but he
43:32
Speaker 12: decreased it when she started talking about him now.
43:38
Speaker 2: Kid Rock has hit out at California Governor Gavin Newsom
43:42
Speaker 2: after his office posted this on X kid Rock wants
43:46
Speaker 2: you to support Gavin newsm Why would they do that?
43:50
Speaker 2: Alongside an AI generated image of the musician. Kid Rock replied,
43:55
Speaker 2: the only support Gavin newsm misspelled deliberately. Well, what ever
44:00
Speaker 2: get out of me is from these nuts and usem
44:05
Speaker 2: replied to that, I hate kid Rock, I mean kids.
44:08
Speaker 2: It's clear what he's trying to do. Yeah, he's trying
44:11
Speaker 2: to emulate Donald Trump on social media, but it's not
44:16
Speaker 2: working for him. It's just giving desperate vibes. He's not
44:19
Speaker 2: Donald Trump.
44:20
Speaker 6: Yeah, I agree with you.
44:22
Speaker 12: I honestly hate this, but analytically Fast Company magazine disagrees
44:26
Speaker 12: with us and says it is working. Fox News host
44:28
Speaker 12: Dana Perino was critical of the account, and on Tuesday,
44:32
Speaker 12: Newsome tore into her in one of these Trump style tweets,
44:36
Speaker 12: and the post garnered nearly five million views. Newsom's office
44:40
Speaker 12: told Politico that their Twitter account x account has gained
44:45
Speaker 12: more than two hundred and fifty thousand followers since August first. Obviously,
44:49
Speaker 12: this is leading to further speculation that he could run
44:52
Speaker 12: for president in twenty twenty eight, to which I would
44:54
Speaker 12: point to.
44:55
Speaker 6: The feces I have to step.
44:57
Speaker 12: Over in downtown Los Angeles to get into my and say,
45:00
Speaker 12: please God, no, do not put do not put this
45:03
Speaker 12: man in charge of our country.
45:06
Speaker 2: Well, he was mayor of San Francisco and that city
45:10
Speaker 2: is at mess. As shadow of its former self. He's
45:13
Speaker 2: been governor of California, inflicted enormous damage there. Could he
45:18
Speaker 2: possibly foil his way up into the White House?
45:23
Speaker 12: I want to say no, but I mean I've seen
45:25
Speaker 12: I saw Joe Biden.
45:26
Speaker 6: I witnessed that with my own two eyes.
45:28
Speaker 12: So I mean with all of the chaos surrounding the
45:31
Speaker 12: Biden family, yeah, I mean, you see people hate vote
45:35
Speaker 12: and you see other things. Wild things happen in this country.
45:38
Speaker 12: So I don't know.
45:41
Speaker 2: He is definitely a very media savvy and they've got
45:46
Speaker 2: a very shallow talent pulled the Democrats, So he may
45:49
Speaker 2: be the candidate. Now let's move along to Post Malone.
45:52
Speaker 2: He's featured in a country themed add for Skins. This
45:56
Speaker 2: is the Tits brand founded by Kim Kardashian, and he's
46:00
Speaker 2: stripped down to his underwear as the brand's newest face
46:04
Speaker 2: could you say face in its men's line Kinsey. It's
46:08
Speaker 2: an interesting collaboration.
46:10
Speaker 12: Oh right, the collab not on my twenty twenty five
46:13
Speaker 12: bingo card in his underwear in the woods. Spoke to
46:18
Speaker 12: GQ about this, he told them, I've never done anything
46:21
Speaker 12: like that. It's like a sasquatch siting essentially is what.
46:24
Speaker 12: It feels like everyone's going to call in the cops
46:27
Speaker 12: and say we saw bigfoot out there or average foot.
46:30
Speaker 6: I mean to me, it's hilarious.
46:35
Speaker 2: Well, I'll tell you country is so cool at the moment.
46:38
Speaker 2: Everyone wants to embrace the country theme. Some do it
46:41
Speaker 2: better than others. I think Beyonce, though she won that
46:44
Speaker 2: album of the year country album of the Year, that
46:46
Speaker 2: was a travesty, I don't think she's succeeded in any way.
46:49
Speaker 2: I don't know if this is going to work, because
46:52
Speaker 2: you've got to be authentic. You can't just pretend to
46:55
Speaker 2: be country. You got to have it in you. Now,
46:58
Speaker 2: Sydney Sweetey, I don't think I've talked about this girl
47:01
Speaker 2: so much ever in my life, and I probably never
47:03
Speaker 2: will again. But she's grabbing headlines everywhere, and she's hit
47:07
Speaker 2: back at claims that she's leading too hard into suggestive
47:11
Speaker 2: and over sexualized marketing, saying that the ads are strategic
47:16
Speaker 2: and a lot of thought goes into them. She said
47:19
Speaker 2: it was mainly the girls making comments about it, which
47:22
Speaker 2: I thought was really interesting. She told the Wall Street Journal.
47:25
Speaker 2: They all love the idea of Jacob Lordie's bathwater. I
47:30
Speaker 2: don't even know who that is it Kinsey. They explained
47:32
Speaker 2: that comment to me.
47:34
Speaker 12: Okay, so you know, I just to your point, you've
47:37
Speaker 12: never spoken about this woman, you know, in your life
47:40
Speaker 12: as much as you are now I agree with her.
47:42
Speaker 12: Sidney Sweeney's Big Break is generally considered HBO's euphoria with
47:46
Speaker 12: Jacob Alladi, with Zindaya. It's an ensemble show and I
47:50
Speaker 12: can't name any other cast members. So Sydney has strategically
47:54
Speaker 12: elevated herself through some of these quirky and sexy campaigns.
47:58
Speaker 6: And she's right. It is the girls being caddy. It is.
48:01
Speaker 6: I mean, there's just no question.
48:05
Speaker 2: Well, no, I've seen some caddy boys, you can call
48:08
Speaker 2: them baits, but there's been some caddy leftist men who've
48:11
Speaker 2: also been very critical of her work. Here now, I
48:16
Speaker 2: want to ask you about this new book that is
48:19
Speaker 2: coming out about the Royals. Yet another book, and it's
48:23
Speaker 2: causing all sorts of outraged headlines about Prince Philip's unthinkable forward.
48:29
Speaker 2: Meghan markels sledge it's not that unthinkable. It appears that,
48:33
Speaker 2: while standing alongside the Queen, the ninety six year old
48:37
Speaker 2: Duke of Edinburgh muttered, thank f that's over. As he
48:41
Speaker 2: looked out of the service, Kinsey, I would have thought
48:45
Speaker 2: that was a fairly standard reaction and not much of
48:49
Speaker 2: a sledge by the Late Duke standards.
48:52
Speaker 12: I've known about this for a month and I haven't
48:55
Speaker 12: been able to say anything about it, but this is
48:57
Speaker 12: my favorite bit of Grant Harold's new book.
49:00
Speaker 6: Coming out of the Royal Butler.
49:02
Speaker 15: Yeah.
49:02
Speaker 12: I mean this I think matches with what Lady Elizabeth
49:06
Speaker 12: Anson and Sally that was reported through Sally Bedell Smith said,
49:10
Speaker 12: which was at this wedding was a nightmare from hell
49:13
Speaker 12: for these two people, the.
49:16
Speaker 6: Queen and Prince Philip.
49:18
Speaker 12: That they went above and beyond for two very ungrateful people,
49:22
Speaker 12: and they were thrilled when it was said and done
49:24
Speaker 12: with because they could close that chapter. Little did they
49:27
Speaker 12: know that Harry and Meghan were about to wreak absolute
49:30
Speaker 12: havoc on this institution that gave them their platform.
49:35
Speaker 2: Yep, he said, think if it's over, it was only
49:39
Speaker 2: beginning the troubles. And really I think that is the
49:42
Speaker 2: most unforgivable sin that Harry has committed. Is what do
49:46
Speaker 2: you put the late Queen through in her final years? Kinsiscofield,
49:51
Speaker 2: thank you so much for your time tonight, and that's
49:54
Speaker 2: all the time we have up next, it's Newsnight. Don't
49:58
Speaker 2: forget Lefty's losing it to tomorrow Nights at nine pm
