Speaker 1: On scors Australia. This is the winner Panalkey Show.
0:08
Speaker 2: Good evening and welcome to the readA Panicky show coming
0:11
Speaker 2: up tonight. Labour's a massive landslide victory in South Australia
0:16
Speaker 2: overshadowed by an Orange wave, with one nation's primary vote
0:20
Speaker 2: exceeding twenty percent. I'll get Daniel Wilde's reaction to that
0:24
Speaker 2: and the day's other top headlines. Victorians deliver their verdict
0:28
Speaker 2: on Jiner Allen's leadership in a new poll. Anthony Galloway
0:31
Speaker 2: from the Australian newspaper, We'll join the program for his analysis.
0:35
Speaker 2: Josh Hammer will have the latest from the US, including
0:38
Speaker 2: a trip by hard left activists to communist Cuba to
0:42
Speaker 2: protest against Donald Trump, and Kinseyscofield with the latest entertainment news,
0:48
Speaker 2: including claims singer Chapel Roone made Jude Law's eleven year
0:53
Speaker 2: old daughter cry and Left is Losing. It features a
0:56
Speaker 2: skit mocking the British Prime Minister Kirs Starmer. Now this
1:00
Speaker 2: kit is notable because President Trump posted it earlier today.
1:05
Speaker 3: Yourself is who everyone likes.
1:15
Speaker 4: I've saw that scary, scary, wonderful president.
1:20
Speaker 2: But first to the South Australian election and as we
1:23
Speaker 2: all expected, Labour one in a landslide. But the headline
1:27
Speaker 2: news is the Orange wave that has swept through the state,
1:30
Speaker 2: with One Nation's primary vote soaring over twenty percent. At
1:35
Speaker 2: this stage, the party looks to have secured two Lower
1:38
Speaker 2: House seats and it remains to be seen just how
1:40
Speaker 2: many Upper House seats have been secured by One Nation.
1:43
Speaker 2: We'll find out in the coming days who will be
1:46
Speaker 2: joining South Australian leader Cory Bernardi in the South Australian
1:51
Speaker 2: Legislative Council. What here, as Corey Bernardi hits back against
1:56
Speaker 2: claims of One Nation's success, was just a protest vote.
2:00
Speaker 5: This is not a protest against the UNI Party. This
2:06
Speaker 5: is a declaration that things are not good enough in
2:09
Speaker 5: South Australia and not good enough in Australia, and they
2:12
Speaker 5: want a viable alternative. One Nation is that alternative, and
2:16
Speaker 5: we will stand up and we will speak up for
2:19
Speaker 5: every South Australian without fear or favor.
2:23
Speaker 2: And Corey Bernardi was in no mood for the leftist
2:27
Speaker 2: media as a race obsessed net narrative. Watch this exchange
2:31
Speaker 2: about One Nation's immigration policy.
2:35
Speaker 6: How can you keep putting by accusation that one nation
2:38
Speaker 6: still has still platory and racist preteract with them.
2:42
Speaker 5: I'm not familiar with what Barnaby said. I spoke to
2:44
Speaker 5: him this morning. He didn't say anything like that to me.
2:46
Speaker 5: So he's more familiar with buying cattle than I am.
2:49
Speaker 5: So maybe you should ask him about what he's got
2:51
Speaker 5: to say. And so let me presume the context that's
2:53
Speaker 5: going to come out here. If when you go to
2:56
Speaker 5: buy cattle, you choose the best cattle available to help
3:01
Speaker 5: your stocks and you're herd, well, shouldn't we be doing
3:04
Speaker 5: the same in our immigration policy. Shouldn't we be saying
3:07
Speaker 5: we want the best and brightest to come here rather
3:09
Speaker 5: than just the teeming hordes of people who come here
3:12
Speaker 5: for welfare. I mean, you know you can characterize that
3:14
Speaker 5: as racist. That's nonsensical. Talking about immigration is talking about
3:18
Speaker 5: immigration and the interests of Australia and the people of
3:22
Speaker 5: South Australia. The people of Australia are waking up to
3:24
Speaker 5: the fact that mass immigration has not worked to our economic,
3:28
Speaker 5: our social, or our cultural advantage.
3:30
Speaker 2: That's crystal clear to people. But the journalist was not satisfied.
3:36
Speaker 2: The clash continued certainly does raise coles. Those you're compared with,
3:41
Speaker 2: like immigrants that could.
3:43
Speaker 5: Become any very No, you don't know. No, you're not
3:46
Speaker 5: comparing anything. You're just using a similar or a metaphor
3:50
Speaker 5: to say, hey, this is what we should be doing,
3:53
Speaker 5: and he's to put it in an agricultural parlance. I mean,
3:56
Speaker 5: it's only the lefties, the bleeding art lefties who you
4:00
Speaker 5: don't want any talk about immigration, that refer to this
4:03
Speaker 5: sort of stuff as racist. I'm really sorry that you've
4:05
Speaker 5: done that, but I presume you're bleeding hew it left him. No,
4:11
Speaker 5: all right, they all say they're notough.
4:13
Speaker 1: Okay.
4:15
Speaker 2: Joining me now is Deputy Executive director at the Institute
4:18
Speaker 2: of Public Affairs, Daniel Wild Dad Cory Bernardi is again
4:23
Speaker 2: an MP and he seems to have even less time
4:25
Speaker 2: for pc bs than the last time around. What's your
4:30
Speaker 2: assessment of the South Australian state election.
4:35
Speaker 7: Well, this is a political earthquake that will start in
4:38
Speaker 7: South Australia but is going to reverberate across the country.
4:41
Speaker 7: You'll get similar results in Victoria, New South Wales and
4:44
Speaker 7: federally because the Liberal Party has indicated it's not going
4:47
Speaker 7: to change. So one nation will continue to rise. The
4:51
Speaker 7: interesting thing in South Australia is if you listen to
4:54
Speaker 7: the mainstream media, Peter Malanascus is a genius because he
4:57
Speaker 7: held one nation at Bay.
5:00
Speaker 1: He didn't.
5:01
Speaker 7: One nation took thousands and thousands of votes away from
5:05
Speaker 7: Labor and they are scared.
5:08
Speaker 1: You look at a seat. I'll give you one example
5:10
Speaker 1: of this.
5:10
Speaker 7: You look at the electorate of Light, which is in
5:13
Speaker 7: the outer northern suburbs centered around Gaula and parts of
5:17
Speaker 7: angel Valemno Para. Labor was a seventy to thirty party,
5:22
Speaker 7: seventy percent Labor, thirty percent Liberal on a two pp
5:26
Speaker 7: Guess what it is now, fifty two.
5:28
Speaker 1: Forty eight Labor.
5:29
Speaker 7: One nation, Okay, one nation took twenty percent of Labour's
5:33
Speaker 7: primary vote. Now, it is true that in that electorate
5:36
Speaker 7: there was a sitting member who left that electric to
5:39
Speaker 7: go to another one.
5:40
Speaker 1: Finnily enough, he lost that one as well, But.
5:43
Speaker 7: Nonetheless it gives you an indication that one nation is
5:46
Speaker 7: taking many, many votes off Labor. These are white, working class,
5:50
Speaker 7: lower middle income South Australians who don't like woke climate
5:55
Speaker 7: change Labor. They don't see their values reflected in the
5:58
Speaker 7: Liberal Party they're taking. It's from both sides of politics
6:01
Speaker 7: and it's here to stay now.
6:05
Speaker 2: One Nation was expected to do very well in regional areas,
6:08
Speaker 2: but as you've described, it's done well in a number
6:12
Speaker 2: of other areas, including Adelaide's northeastern fringe. It's caught both
6:17
Speaker 2: the Libs and Labor by surprise. I want to ask
6:21
Speaker 2: you about the preferential voting system that we have in
6:24
Speaker 2: this country. It's fairly unique and it's delivering some strange results.
6:29
Speaker 2: You've got Labor recording around thirty seven percent of the
6:33
Speaker 2: primary voter this stage, and they've got over thirty seats,
6:37
Speaker 2: One Nation over twenty two percent, only two seats. Is
6:42
Speaker 2: there something fundamentally unrepresentative about our democracy? Dan, when you've
6:47
Speaker 2: got results that seem to be completely out of whack.
6:53
Speaker 7: I think, Look, there can be there's limitations to every
6:55
Speaker 7: voting system. You know, if you have a UK style
6:58
Speaker 7: first past the post, you can get someone who wins
7:02
Speaker 7: with only twenty five percent of the vote, for example,
7:04
Speaker 7: if you have a lot of candidates. So no matter
7:07
Speaker 7: what system you have, it's imperfect. Yes, it's true that
7:11
Speaker 7: the vast majority of seats in Australia are now determined
7:13
Speaker 7: by preferences, So at the end of the day, you've
7:15
Speaker 7: got to get your preference game going if you want
7:17
Speaker 7: to win seats. Very few people win seats on primary
7:20
Speaker 7: vote alone anymore. The other quick point I want to
7:22
Speaker 7: make reader is you know, One Nation is now the
7:25
Speaker 7: major non labor party in South Australia. When you look
7:28
Speaker 7: at how many seats it came second in compared to
7:30
Speaker 7: the Liberal Party. So all of the outer suburban seats
7:34
Speaker 7: in the South and the North that's all One Nation now,
7:37
Speaker 7: and many regional seats. So if you don't want labor,
7:41
Speaker 7: people are voting One Nation, So they've now become the
7:44
Speaker 7: major non labor party, and I think that's going to
7:47
Speaker 7: happen in Victoria and in many cases federally as well.
7:50
Speaker 7: The Liberal Party risks becoming like the Whig Party in
7:53
Speaker 7: the United States, where social and demographic changes have superseded
7:56
Speaker 7: it and they're just not changing. I mean that there's
7:58
Speaker 7: no indication that they understan than what has just happened,
8:01
Speaker 7: which is that there's only I mean, I have to
8:03
Speaker 7: look at the numbers again, but there's only maybe at
8:05
Speaker 7: the most ten seats where Liberal Party came second. So
8:09
Speaker 7: you know that tells you everything you need to know.
8:12
Speaker 2: It does tell you everything you need to know, and
8:14
Speaker 2: sadly the lessons don't seem to be learned here. Are
8:18
Speaker 2: we going to see, given the importance of the preferences,
8:21
Speaker 2: are we going to see some sort of a formal
8:23
Speaker 2: alliance between one nation and the coalition? Because we're still
8:28
Speaker 2: having liberal leaders, including here in Victoria, saying they won't
8:32
Speaker 2: do preference steals. And if they continue with that sort
8:36
Speaker 2: of strategy, Dan, you're just going to have Labor in
8:40
Speaker 2: power that they can be getting primary votes of around
8:43
Speaker 2: thirty to thirty five percent and winning in landslides.
8:50
Speaker 7: Well, him, that's right, But you know, one Nation is
8:52
Speaker 7: very different to Liberal and it's very different to Labor,
8:55
Speaker 7: at least the modern incarnations of it. So if I
8:57
Speaker 7: was one Nation, I'm not sure i'd want to be
8:58
Speaker 7: preferencing liberals either. You know, people really the vote, and
9:03
Speaker 7: I get what Corey said about, you know, not being
9:05
Speaker 7: a protest party, and it's not just a protest party,
9:09
Speaker 7: but it's basically for people that have had a gut
9:12
Speaker 7: full of the two major parties, that's who they're voting for.
9:15
Speaker 7: So they don't want to vote for a party that's
9:18
Speaker 7: going to be seen to be saddling up next to
9:21
Speaker 7: another major party. That's kind of the whole point of
9:24
Speaker 7: why people are voting for one nation. I think at
9:26
Speaker 7: the moment the Liberal Party needs one nation more than
9:29
Speaker 7: the other way around. Now we'll wait and see how
9:31
Speaker 7: that plays out over the next few years. But at
9:34
Speaker 7: the end of the day, the only way a political
9:36
Speaker 7: party can succeed is if it gets its primary vote
9:38
Speaker 7: up high enough to be number one on the in
9:42
Speaker 7: terms of how people are voting. So that's what all
9:44
Speaker 7: the major parties need to focus on for their own future.
9:49
Speaker 2: Now let's talk about Prime Minister Anthony Albanezi and Home
9:52
Speaker 2: Affairs Minister Tony Burke being heckled during prayers at lakember Mosque.
9:57
Speaker 2: That was on Friday. These scenes have gone via all
10:00
Speaker 2: around the world. Dan the scenes outside the mosque were
10:16
Speaker 2: even uglier, the heckling, the hostility, uh security. We certainly
10:23
Speaker 2: needed Federal police to keep the Prime Minister and the
10:27
Speaker 2: Home Affairs Minister safe, but this amusingly happened a day
10:33
Speaker 2: after The Sydney Morning Herald penned an opinion piece attacking
10:37
Speaker 2: Pauline Hansen, who had said she wouldn't feel safe or
10:41
Speaker 2: welcome in Lakemba, The reporter wrote. Lakemba is one of
10:44
Speaker 2: the most welcoming suburbs in this country, evidenced by its
10:48
Speaker 2: wildly successful Ramadan Knights markets that have exploded in popularity.
10:54
Speaker 2: If Hanson feels unwelcome in Lakember, perhaps that's on her.
11:00
Speaker 2: And the PM did seem genuinely concern I might even
11:04
Speaker 2: say frightened during some of that heckling, though he has
11:07
Speaker 2: been at pains to say that it was just a
11:10
Speaker 2: very small minority he were there.
11:14
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's interesting, you know, diversity is our strength, isn't
11:17
Speaker 7: our but easy? You know, he's finally been confronted with
11:21
Speaker 7: the just ridiculousness of what's happening. I think Pauline Hanson
11:25
Speaker 7: should go to Lakember and she should do a rally
11:27
Speaker 7: in Lakember, and that would be a good way of
11:30
Speaker 7: finding out, one way or another whether this Sydney Morning
11:33
Speaker 7: Herald journalist or opinion piece writer is correct or not.
11:37
Speaker 7: I think it'd be very interesting and maybe she should
11:39
Speaker 7: go there and cover it and see what actually happens.
11:42
Speaker 1: So look, this is just just an.
11:44
Speaker 7: Insight into how Australia has become bulcanized how we are
11:49
Speaker 7: increasingly living in enclaves where we don't talk to one another.
11:54
Speaker 7: The days of Australia having shared values across our country
11:58
Speaker 7: dead and gone.
11:59
Speaker 1: Sadly.
12:00
Speaker 7: Now, that doesn't mean that it can't come back, but
12:02
Speaker 7: it is going to take a generation to achieve that.
12:05
Speaker 7: And I just found those images so funny of Anthony
12:07
Speaker 7: Abernezi sitting there like a soy boy, you know, not
12:11
Speaker 7: knowing what to do, and he's like, oh my gosh,
12:12
Speaker 7: what's happening?
12:13
Speaker 5: You know.
12:13
Speaker 7: I just find it fascinating when they actually get out
12:15
Speaker 7: of their bubble and talk to people, they learned that
12:18
Speaker 7: the country they grew up in no longer exists.
12:21
Speaker 2: Well, as I said on Outsiders yesterday morning, you could
12:24
Speaker 2: praise the Prime Minister for bringing the country together. It
12:28
Speaker 2: seems like everybody hates him right now. The Jewish community
12:31
Speaker 2: is not happy with him, the Muslim community in La
12:34
Speaker 2: Kemper certainly isn't happy with him. The left has got
12:36
Speaker 2: all sorts of issues, and certainly conservatives don't like him.
12:39
Speaker 2: So he's uniting the country in one way now. Before
12:43
Speaker 2: you Go were reported last week on claims that Grace
12:47
Speaker 2: Tame has lost all her speaking gigs. For the year.
12:50
Speaker 2: They were saying she's been canceled. Well, the former Australian
12:54
Speaker 2: of the Year has been announced as a guest of
12:56
Speaker 2: the Melbourne Writers Festival. Grace Tame will be in conversation
13:00
Speaker 2: with former ABC presenter Antoinette Latoufe, who is promoting her
13:05
Speaker 2: new book about her legal win against the ABC for
13:08
Speaker 2: unfair dismissal Dan. Her conversation with Grace Stain will be
13:12
Speaker 2: about defiance, resilience and what it truly costs to speak out. Look,
13:18
Speaker 2: I've got no issue with these two talking as much
13:21
Speaker 2: as they like in front of audiences, But why are
13:23
Speaker 2: my tax dollars subsidizing these sort of lefty loving events?
13:29
Speaker 1: Yeah? I agree.
13:30
Speaker 7: I mean, if you know, people have to earn a
13:32
Speaker 7: crust and if this is how they do it, fair enough.
13:34
Speaker 1: But I totally agree with you. Why do we have
13:35
Speaker 1: to fund this nonsense? You know?
13:37
Speaker 7: I think Grace Tame has sort of boxed herself into
13:40
Speaker 7: a corner with a lot of her comments. She's become
13:44
Speaker 7: a sort of a political activist, which has distracted away
13:47
Speaker 7: from some of the important charitable work that she was doing.
13:51
Speaker 7: And I just think again, a lot of people look
13:53
Speaker 7: at this and they just say, well, you know, why
13:55
Speaker 7: can't we have festivals, writers, festivals or other kind of
13:59
Speaker 7: things that were actually bring us together as a community.
14:02
Speaker 7: But I can't expect there'll be that many people tuning
14:04
Speaker 7: in for this, so it's probably not going to be
14:05
Speaker 7: of much consequence anyway, Dan Will, thanks for.
14:09
Speaker 2: Your time now. Victorians have delivered a brutal verdict on
14:13
Speaker 2: just Into Allen's leadership, with one third of residents considering
14:17
Speaker 2: fleeing the state. According to a new poll by a
14:20
Speaker 2: gender group community POLSE, a whopping fifty percent of Victorians
14:24
Speaker 2: said they felt mostly or completely unheard by the Allen government.
14:28
Speaker 2: Thirty eight percent of older Victorians also said they have
14:31
Speaker 2: little or no pride in their state. That data also
14:35
Speaker 2: shows just twenty three percent of Victorians age fifty five
14:39
Speaker 2: and over would vote for Labor at the election, compared
14:42
Speaker 2: to thirty three percent for the coalition and twenty nine
14:45
Speaker 2: percent for one nation joining me now is the Australians.
14:49
Speaker 2: Victorian political editor Anthony Galloway. Anthony, the most startling figure
14:54
Speaker 2: in this data for me is that thirty six percent
14:57
Speaker 2: of Victorians said they were considering leaving the state. That
15:01
Speaker 2: is a huge number and it's across all age groups
15:04
Speaker 2: and the regions and Melbourne.
15:06
Speaker 8: Yeah, it really adds to that sense that there's a
15:09
Speaker 8: sense of drift in Victoria. People aren't proud in their
15:12
Speaker 8: state and so that sense of change that I know
15:14
Speaker 8: the Victorian Liberals are really trying to capitalize on at
15:19
Speaker 8: the November state election. I mean, the other startling statistic
15:24
Speaker 8: there is fifty percent of Victorians think the government's not
15:27
Speaker 8: listening to them. I mean, that's much higher than just
15:29
Speaker 8: the Liberal Party primary vote for example, So that there
15:32
Speaker 8: must be labor voters who have voted for Dan Andrews
15:35
Speaker 8: in successive elections who are adding to that are statistic there.
15:39
Speaker 2: I've no doubt about that because we've just had such
15:42
Speaker 2: a weak opposition in this state and there are plenty
15:45
Speaker 2: of labor voters who are feeling alienated as well. And interestingly,
15:50
Speaker 2: Queensland was nominated as the top destination of people who
15:54
Speaker 2: are looking to leave the state. So I hope Queenslands
15:57
Speaker 2: are ready for a lot more Victorians to move up
15:59
Speaker 2: there and push their property prices. Now we have a
16:03
Speaker 2: liberal leader in Victoria, Just Wilson urging voters not to
16:07
Speaker 2: waste their vote on one nation. She said the upcoming
16:10
Speaker 2: Nepan by election on May two, Well, it's expected to
16:14
Speaker 2: be an early test of One Nation support in Victoria.
16:17
Speaker 2: There will be no Labor candidates, so will be the
16:20
Speaker 2: Liberals facing off against Pauline Hansen's One Nation Party. Anthony
16:25
Speaker 2: Jess Wilson has said that voting for One Nation is
16:29
Speaker 2: a protest vote. Is that how you see it? In
16:32
Speaker 2: the pen It is a fairly unique seat in that
16:34
Speaker 2: it is traditionally a very safe Liberal seat and Labor
16:39
Speaker 2: isn't even bothering to run.
16:40
Speaker 8: Yeah, this will be the early the first litmus test
16:43
Speaker 8: really of is this surge in One Nation support which
16:46
Speaker 8: we're seeing all across the country and we're definitely seeing
16:49
Speaker 8: in South Australia.
16:50
Speaker 2: We have proof of that now.
16:51
Speaker 8: But will it play out in Victoria the PN which
16:55
Speaker 8: is based around the Mornington Peninsula, you would like to think, well,
16:58
Speaker 8: the Liberals would like to think it's not normally an
17:02
Speaker 8: area that would lean to One Nation in high numbers.
17:05
Speaker 8: But if they're if One Nation's polling on fifteen to
17:07
Speaker 8: twenty percent there, then they're going to be polling much
17:10
Speaker 8: higher than that in seats in Western Melbourne for example,
17:14
Speaker 8: or seats that are very regional, so that that will
17:17
Speaker 8: be the early tests the coalition are hoping heading in
17:20
Speaker 8: to both the Nepean by election, but more importantly the
17:24
Speaker 8: state election in November. That this is a very different
17:27
Speaker 8: situation to South Australia. That here you have a tired
17:32
Speaker 8: old government that is very unpopular and that's compared to
17:37
Speaker 8: a premier in Peter Malanaskis who you know, objectively kind
17:40
Speaker 8: of hit it out of the park in his first term.
17:43
Speaker 2: It's very popular, very likable. A lot of Chris means
17:46
Speaker 2: about Malanascus. But you look at the poll numbers and
17:51
Speaker 2: One Nation seems to be doing similar numbers in the
17:53
Speaker 2: polls to South Australia. So I think the Libs might
17:57
Speaker 2: be a little bit a bit of wish for thinking.
17:59
Speaker 2: They're thinking we are dramatically different to the rest of
18:01
Speaker 2: the country. What's an acceptable result in this Nepean by
18:04
Speaker 2: election with no Labor candidate. Do the Libs really need
18:07
Speaker 2: to be winning in a landslide to say this is
18:10
Speaker 2: an endorsement of the new leadership.
18:13
Speaker 8: I would say living in a landslide. If they just
18:16
Speaker 8: great by two party preferred against One Nation, then that
18:19
Speaker 8: doesn't augerwell for the election.
18:22
Speaker 2: No not at all. The candidate they've installed there is interesting.
18:26
Speaker 2: Just a few years ago at the last election, he
18:28
Speaker 2: was barracking for Labor. In fact, there were texts published
18:32
Speaker 2: saying that he was hoping Paul Mercurio, Labor candidate, wins.
18:37
Speaker 2: How are they handling that because these seem to be
18:39
Speaker 2: just own goals by the Liberal Party over and over again.
18:43
Speaker 8: A bit embarrassing internally, and yeah, a lot of criticism
18:47
Speaker 8: of the candidate internally. The Liberals are hoping that it's
18:51
Speaker 8: that it hasn't been noticed by yeah, the electorate at large,
18:55
Speaker 8: I guess, because yes, he was. He definitely was criticized
19:00
Speaker 8: the own Liberal candidate at the last election in twenty
19:02
Speaker 8: twenty two.
19:05
Speaker 2: The Viglibs, I tell you, just when you think they've
19:07
Speaker 2: got the stuff together, they come and surprise you.
19:11
Speaker 8: This is the issue, and everyone in the coalition will
19:13
Speaker 8: tell you this. They just need to present to the
19:16
Speaker 8: public that they are unified, finally, they're not a rabble
19:19
Speaker 8: and things like the deputy leader Sam Groth resigning to
19:23
Speaker 8: start the year, and then things like this candidate being
19:27
Speaker 8: revealed to bag his own party just is not good
19:30
Speaker 8: in kind of what they want to present to the Pulu,
19:32
Speaker 8: which is the bad days behind us. You can trust
19:34
Speaker 8: us for a competent government, committed party ready to govern.
19:38
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, just if you're not a rabble you'll get elected.
19:41
Speaker 2: It's that simple. In Victoria, we are in such a
19:44
Speaker 2: bad situation. Every metric in this state is horrible. The
19:48
Speaker 2: bar is so low, the bar is so low. You
19:52
Speaker 2: basically just have to show us you're competent, even a
19:54
Speaker 2: little bit competent and not crazy, and you'll get elected.
19:57
Speaker 2: And yet they seem to fail that test. But let's
20:02
Speaker 2: look forward to November and hopeful better. Anthony Galloway always
20:06
Speaker 2: a pleasure, thanks still to karma. Left He Is Losing Ed,
20:10
Speaker 2: plus the latest from the US, including a trip by
20:13
Speaker 2: a hard left activist to communist Cuba to protest against
20:17
Speaker 2: Donald Trump. Josh Hammer is up next. Welcome back. It's
20:31
Speaker 2: time for Left His Losing Ed. Let's start with some laughs,
20:35
Speaker 2: courtesy of President Trump and Saturday Night Live. It's not
20:39
Speaker 2: often that SNL brings the lolls these days, but this
20:42
Speaker 2: skit featuring a terrified kissed darmer is funny because it's true.
20:47
Speaker 4: Oh oh golly, well, what if Donald shouts at me?
20:55
Speaker 1: What do I say?
20:56
Speaker 3: Labbie, just be yourself, Prime Minister. Yourself is who everyone likes.
21:11
Speaker 4: I saw that scary, scary, wonderful president. Why is it
21:17
Speaker 4: so probably difficult to talk to sir?
21:21
Speaker 3: Just be honest and tell him we can't send any
21:23
Speaker 3: more ships to the Strait of Hormus.
21:26
Speaker 4: Oh crubs, I just hate conflicts so much.
21:31
Speaker 3: Are you referring to the war or this phone call?
21:34
Speaker 4: Isn't there a way I cannot do both. I just
21:37
Speaker 4: want to keep him happy. Labby, you don't understand him
21:42
Speaker 4: like I do. I can change him.
21:47
Speaker 3: I don't think the feeling's mutual. He can't stop insulting you.
21:50
Speaker 3: He called you a coward about.
21:52
Speaker 2: A my depth there, Labby. Now we can only imagine
21:57
Speaker 2: what President Trump was thinking when he shared that as
22:00
Speaker 2: an ol skit mocking the weakness of British Prime Minister Kirstarma.
22:04
Speaker 2: Let us now mock people who are almost beyond parody,
22:08
Speaker 2: pampered communess who live privileged lives in the West, who
22:12
Speaker 2: have decided to travel to Cuba to meet with Communist
22:16
Speaker 2: officials and to slam President Donald Trump's administration.
22:20
Speaker 9: But it's a show of our solibarity with the people
22:23
Speaker 9: of Cuba and our opposition to what Trump is doing
22:27
Speaker 9: to try to strangle the Cuba people into mission.
22:35
Speaker 2: Now, Cuba should be a paradise for Decades of communist
22:39
Speaker 2: rule have destroyed the country. More than a million Cubans
22:43
Speaker 2: have fled, and those who remain yearned for freedom and opportunity.
22:49
Speaker 2: What they don't need is a bloody mural painted by
22:52
Speaker 2: Champagne socialists with too much time on their hands.
22:56
Speaker 10: Since the mural for humanity and going to have little
23:01
Speaker 10: boats with notes and.
23:06
Speaker 11: Thank you.
23:09
Speaker 6: On the other side that fishing.
23:12
Speaker 2: And let's check in on the anti Ice brigade. We
23:20
Speaker 2: haven't heard as much from them in recent weeks. They're
23:22
Speaker 2: still around though, and they're still advocating for crazy. Watch this, guys,
23:28
Speaker 2: a quick question.
23:28
Speaker 12: We're bringing back illegal immigrant who were deported by Ice.
23:31
Speaker 12: Can we get your signature for our petition? Oh, thank
23:34
Speaker 12: you so much. We're trying to bring back Edwin Hernandez.
23:38
Speaker 1: It's from El Salvador.
23:39
Speaker 12: Would you have to tell you guys? He was He's
23:42
Speaker 12: an admitted member of MS thirteen and he murdered five
23:45
Speaker 12: people and Al Salvador but oh not here. But we
23:49
Speaker 12: don't want him to face trial in El Salvador. We
23:51
Speaker 12: want to get him back to America.
23:53
Speaker 2: Okay, well, yeah, that's not good what he did at all.
24:00
Speaker 12: Well, he was reported probably targeted because of the color
24:03
Speaker 12: of his skin. Honestly, you don't want to sign it.
24:07
Speaker 12: Oh okay, all right, thank you, Thank you guys.
24:10
Speaker 2: Great work there from Matthew Miller exposing the Ashley reckless,
24:15
Speaker 2: suicidely stupid American left. This next lady personifies the concept
24:20
Speaker 2: of suicidal empathy. She's quite comfortable housing a murderous monster
24:26
Speaker 2: whatever it takes to defeat Donald Trump.
24:28
Speaker 12: I guess we're trying to bring back people who are
24:29
Speaker 12: deported by Ice. Can we get your signature real quick
24:32
Speaker 12: for that? Thank you so much. We're with to Bring
24:34
Speaker 12: Them Back campaign.
24:35
Speaker 1: We're trying to bring back.
24:36
Speaker 12: Edwin Hernandez from Al Salvador. Now, he murdered five people
24:39
Speaker 12: in El Salvador and he's an admitted member of MS thirteen.
24:41
Speaker 12: But we think he deserves a second chance to come back,
24:44
Speaker 12: absolutely absolutely. Now can you take him in when we
24:48
Speaker 12: get him back? Would you be able to give him
24:50
Speaker 12: a place to say?
24:51
Speaker 2: I can do that, you can maybe?
24:53
Speaker 12: Okay, can you just sign here that you would be
24:56
Speaker 12: able to and then we'll email you that's so a
24:58
Speaker 12: thoughtful of you.
24:59
Speaker 2: Now while this one under life comes at you fast.
25:03
Speaker 2: Remember when New York Governor Kathy Hochul was as arrogant
25:06
Speaker 2: as hell, she mocked the folks fleeing her stake due
25:10
Speaker 2: to the high taxes, the Democrat mismanagement, the high crime.
25:14
Speaker 2: The list is long. This is what she said in
25:16
Speaker 2: twenty twenty two.
25:18
Speaker 9: That the era of Trump and Zelden and more and
25:23
Speaker 9: are just jump on a bus and head down to
25:25
Speaker 9: Florida where you're belong. Okay, get out of town, get
25:29
Speaker 9: out of town.
25:30
Speaker 2: Oh they did, Kathy. They left in droves. And they're
25:34
Speaker 2: not New Yorkers anymore. They're Texans, Pilaridians, Kansas and whatever
25:39
Speaker 2: you call folk from Tennessee. They went and they took
25:43
Speaker 2: their wealth and taxes with them. Now the New York
25:46
Speaker 2: governor is begging them to come back.
25:49
Speaker 9: I need people who are high net worth to support
25:53
Speaker 9: the generous social programs that we want to have in
25:55
Speaker 9: our state. Right now, there are some patriotic millionaires who
26:00
Speaker 9: stepped up. Okay, cut me the checks, I mean, just
26:04
Speaker 9: if you want to be supportive. But maybe the first
26:07
Speaker 9: step should be go down to Palm Beach and see
26:09
Speaker 9: what you can bring back home because our tax base
26:12
Speaker 9: has been eroded. So I philosophically don't have a problem.
26:15
Speaker 9: It is like, I have to look at the fact
26:17
Speaker 9: that we are in competition with other states who have
26:21
Speaker 9: less of a tax burden on their corporations and their individuals.
26:25
Speaker 2: Joining me now is Newsweek's senior editor at large, Josh Hammer. Josh,
26:30
Speaker 2: she wants high net worth individuals to return to New
26:33
Speaker 2: York and cut her a check.
26:37
Speaker 13: You know, Rita, If Kattie Hochel wants some wealthy people
26:40
Speaker 13: to return to New York State, she has a very
26:42
Speaker 13: simple and straightforward option at her table. Isses make it
26:45
Speaker 13: less painful, Make it less painful to do business in
26:48
Speaker 13: New York State. By the way, it's actually not just
26:51
Speaker 13: Governor Hockel's terrible policies and all buty. Now there's the
26:54
Speaker 13: additional layer of just the municipal policies in Zoramamdani's New
26:58
Speaker 13: York City. And it's actually not just the new Mayor's
27:00
Speaker 13: been happening in New York City for a long time.
27:02
Speaker 14: Read.
27:02
Speaker 13: I actually think back to the Lawfair, to the era
27:05
Speaker 13: of the Lawfair against Donald Trump, when Alvin Bragg, the
27:07
Speaker 13: sorrow's funded hack of a prosecutor there in the Manhattan
27:10
Speaker 13: Die's office when he filed those ludicrous charges. And people,
27:14
Speaker 13: this is two years already by these ludicrous charges again
27:17
Speaker 13: involving Stormy Daniels and Michael Cohen and this whole sorry's
27:22
Speaker 13: story there. And then you had Tiss James, the Attorney
27:25
Speaker 13: General of New York States, who was suing Donald Trump
27:27
Speaker 13: and the Trump organization for one hundreds of million dollars
27:29
Speaker 13: for what literally for what for engaging an alleged corporate fraud. No,
27:33
Speaker 13: their financial their financial counterparties like Deutsche Bank actually wanted
27:36
Speaker 13: to do more business. So the net effect of all
27:39
Speaker 13: of this, as mister wonderful Kevin O'Leary so memorily put
27:42
Speaker 13: the time, is to basically say to business, to capital,
27:45
Speaker 13: to wealthy people there, get the heck out. You are
27:48
Speaker 13: literally not welcome here in New York States. It has
27:51
Speaker 13: been going on for a very very very long time.
27:53
Speaker 13: I'm frankly not sure that there is such thing as
27:55
Speaker 13: putting this genie back in the bottle. To your point,
27:57
Speaker 13: a lot of people have left. I mean, hello, you're
28:00
Speaker 13: truly I left when I was eighteen years old. Have
28:01
Speaker 13: not looked back frankly, you know, in all my nineteen
28:04
Speaker 13: years since then.
28:05
Speaker 6: So I think it's.
28:05
Speaker 13: Gonna take a lot of it's gonna take a lot
28:07
Speaker 13: of very to try to get some people to crawl
28:09
Speaker 13: back there.
28:09
Speaker 6: But you can start at least Cavioki.
28:11
Speaker 13: You can actually just start hit the very first, very
28:14
Speaker 13: first little baby steps there by stop taking people off
28:18
Speaker 13: who want to engage in business. That'll be a good start.
28:20
Speaker 2: I think that would be a good start. You mentioned
28:24
Speaker 2: a new mayor there. Since we last spoke, there've been
28:28
Speaker 2: all sorts of new revelations about the online activity of
28:31
Speaker 2: Mayor Zora and ma'am Danney's wife, and Pierce Rama has
28:36
Speaker 2: not just got a history Josh of liking virulently anti
28:40
Speaker 2: Israeli post she also has posted admiringly about terrorists. Tell
28:45
Speaker 2: me about this.
28:48
Speaker 13: Yeah, unfortunately, this is the least surprising thing, maybe like
28:51
Speaker 13: literally ever, I mean, I mean, if this is a
28:54
Speaker 13: guy who are Ma'm Danny reader, who who could not
28:56
Speaker 13: bring himself to condemn the phrase global lives the interfire
29:00
Speaker 13: until the very final months of the campaign, when he
29:02
Speaker 13: kind of sort of maybe condemned it, recalled that this
29:04
Speaker 13: particular phrase globalizing defada is the phrase that that resulted
29:09
Speaker 13: in the murder of two Israeli embassy staffers in Washington
29:12
Speaker 13: see last May that resulted in an illegal alien out
29:15
Speaker 13: in Boulder, Colorado of Egyptian ancestry to throw a Molotov cocktail,
29:21
Speaker 13: and that it ultimately led to the death of a
29:23
Speaker 13: Holocaust survivor. In terms of Mamdonni forever to condemn this phrase.
29:26
Speaker 13: This is a man who would within hours of the
29:28
Speaker 13: October seven, twenty twenty three Hamas per gram was blaming
29:31
Speaker 13: Israel for their for their own pagram against on their
29:34
Speaker 13: So his wife has been essentially been caught red handed
29:37
Speaker 13: liking and promoting various Instagram posts, various social media posts
29:40
Speaker 13: in the immediate aftermath of the aforementioned October seven, twenty
29:43
Speaker 13: twenty three program that didn't just fail to condemn what
29:48
Speaker 13: Hamas did on that terrible day, actually celebrate it. So
29:51
Speaker 13: that this is Palestinian liberation, This is from the river
29:55
Speaker 13: to the sea in action that they had impressed people
29:59
Speaker 13: must come at their oppressor by any means necessary. And
30:02
Speaker 13: what do you think we meant when we said by
30:04
Speaker 13: any means necessary? I mean this is quite appalling stuff.
30:07
Speaker 13: And again They're only doubling and tripling down this. They
30:10
Speaker 13: just had Maka mu khalil Uh, the reprobrate from Columbia University,
30:15
Speaker 13: the noted Hamas activists on canvas there. Ma'm Didne just
30:18
Speaker 13: hosted him for a Ramadan Eftar breakfast dinner at Gracie Mansion.
30:23
Speaker 13: So it's only getting worse from here, retail. My only
30:26
Speaker 13: question is how long are New yorker is going to
30:28
Speaker 13: deal with this? And I mean, how much longer are
30:30
Speaker 13: you guys going to just sit there and take it?
30:31
Speaker 1: There?
30:32
Speaker 6: Am I saying that?
30:33
Speaker 13: I mean, he has a term, But I mean, surely
30:35
Speaker 13: you can do something to try to mitigate the DOWND
30:37
Speaker 13: right now.
30:37
Speaker 6: I haven't seen a whole lot of that. Frankly, thus far.
30:39
Speaker 2: Them, well, you vote for crazy, you get crazy. They
30:44
Speaker 2: knew what they were getting. I mean, that's very hard
30:47
Speaker 2: to feel any sympathy for New Yorkers when they vote
30:50
Speaker 2: for this sort of stuff over and over again, and
30:52
Speaker 2: it seems to just be getting worse now. Josha tell
30:55
Speaker 2: me about this group of hard left activists going to
30:58
Speaker 2: communist Cuba. They're there now not to advocate for freedom,
31:03
Speaker 2: but they are meeting with the Communist Party officials over there,
31:07
Speaker 2: and they're there to slam the US. These pampered leftists
31:11
Speaker 2: are staying in luxury hotels and enjoying comforts like air
31:15
Speaker 2: conditioning and electricity, and just living in a manner that
31:20
Speaker 2: the average Cuban can only dream off.
31:22
Speaker 13: Josh, Yeah, this is the whole new Greta Thumberg style diplomacy.
31:28
Speaker 6: Let's call it, right.
31:28
Speaker 13: I mean why, I mean, when Greta did those flotellas
31:32
Speaker 13: to Gaza and she was promptly arrested by the IDEF,
31:34
Speaker 13: who could have possibly guessed Reader, that would have happened.
31:37
Speaker 13: I mean, now they're trying to do the same thing
31:38
Speaker 13: with Cuba. The remarkable thing, reader, is that we have,
31:42
Speaker 13: and by we I mean the United States, We currently
31:44
Speaker 13: have Cuba on their knees. They've literally conceded. They have
31:48
Speaker 13: actually said publicly that they are now negotiating with the
31:51
Speaker 13: United States of America, perhaps specifically with Marco Rubio or
31:54
Speaker 13: Cuban American Secretary of State, and this various underlings. We
31:58
Speaker 13: have the regime that there's only ninety miles to our
32:01
Speaker 13: south on the brink of collapse, by far, in ninety'class,
32:04
Speaker 13: by far the most has ever been since the revolutionaries
32:07
Speaker 13: took power there in the late nineteen fifties. A communist
32:10
Speaker 13: Cuba goes back twenty years, even longer than the islmust
32:13
Speaker 13: revolution over and ram And this has been a problem
32:15
Speaker 13: for the United States for a very, very long time.
32:17
Speaker 13: And we have these outrageous, outrageous subverse actors who have
32:21
Speaker 13: chosen this time, this time to try to bail out
32:25
Speaker 13: this regime. I mean, these people are actively rooting for
32:28
Speaker 13: the enemies of the United States and rooting for the
32:30
Speaker 13: enemies Western civilization are.
32:32
Speaker 6: Fortunately, this is a tail as.
32:33
Speaker 13: Old as time there are for so long readA there
32:36
Speaker 13: have been people on the left who are actually rooting
32:38
Speaker 13: against the United States. But it's one thing to root
32:41
Speaker 13: in your most callous and black of hearts. It's one
32:44
Speaker 13: thing to root against the United States. Is another thing
32:46
Speaker 13: to take an action like this. What I will say, though,
32:48
Speaker 13: just in closing here, is that a lot of these
32:51
Speaker 13: aforementioned five star hotels which you've alluded to there, a
32:54
Speaker 13: lot of them are sanctioned, a lot of them are
32:56
Speaker 13: on various US blacklists because of long standing the embargo
33:01
Speaker 13: and various sanctions on Cuba. You're not really allowed to
33:03
Speaker 13: stay at a lot of these hotels there, so a
33:05
Speaker 13: lot of these folks actually are actually risking prosecution here.
33:08
Speaker 13: I happen to live here in South Florida, which is
33:10
Speaker 13: the closest in the US to Cuba. There I think
33:12
Speaker 13: it would probably be a pretty good dear, Frankly, for
33:14
Speaker 13: the US Attorney's Office here in the sun days of Florida,
33:16
Speaker 13: if you start looking into some possible creative charges against
33:19
Speaker 13: these individuals who are staying in US sanctioned hotels in
33:22
Speaker 13: the Lake. They're ninety miles south of the First Shores.
33:26
Speaker 2: That is a very good point. I did not think
33:28
Speaker 2: of that. And in this convoy to Cuba is a
33:33
Speaker 2: very high profile streamer, Hassan Piker. What in God's name
33:38
Speaker 2: is he doing in Cuba, Josh. This guy has a
33:41
Speaker 2: multimillion dollar property, He's got a massive following, very wealthy,
33:46
Speaker 2: and yet he advocates for Marxist ideology. Make it make
33:51
Speaker 2: sense to me, Josh.
33:54
Speaker 13: Well, reader, I can't make it make sense. Hu's a
33:57
Speaker 13: Piker is one of the most scummy villain's individuals in
34:01
Speaker 13: all of American media.
34:02
Speaker 6: And that is Frankly saying.
34:03
Speaker 14: Along.
34:03
Speaker 6: The stuff that this guy says is just frankly hetineous.
34:07
Speaker 13: He frankly, frankly sounds like like a Nazi sometimes speaking
34:10
Speaker 13: about Israel's being the Jews. That's really non exaggeration. I
34:13
Speaker 13: mean he speaks glowingly of what Hamas did Onctober seventh.
34:17
Speaker 13: There he's he's outright praising it, much like Zero Mandanni's wife.
34:20
Speaker 1: There.
34:20
Speaker 13: He is a self avowed Communist Marxist. This guy is
34:23
Speaker 13: as out there as it gets. And the worst part
34:26
Speaker 13: Rita is that he is welcome the deed. He is faded.
34:30
Speaker 13: He is lauded by many Democrat officials, most recently was
34:33
Speaker 13: ro Kahana, the Epstein Files obsessed congressmen out of California.
34:36
Speaker 13: There he was saying that Hassan Pike, it was great.
34:38
Speaker 13: I stand with the San Piker there. It's it's it's
34:41
Speaker 13: just disgusting stuff. But I will say I've actually been
34:43
Speaker 13: to Cuba. It's pretty rare for Americans to go. I've
34:46
Speaker 13: actually been to Cuba. I've seen it for myself. You
34:49
Speaker 13: cannot possibly see Cuba. Rita, which along with North Korea,
34:53
Speaker 13: is by one of the last examples of true legitimate
34:56
Speaker 13: communists remaining on planet Earth. This utterly failed, terrific urdorous violence,
35:00
Speaker 13: failed ideology. I've actually seen it. And when you actually
35:04
Speaker 13: see Cuba, when you see this beautiful water, Havana could.
35:07
Speaker 6: Be in an amazing city.
35:08
Speaker 13: Really, it has so much potential there, and you see
35:10
Speaker 13: these buildings.
35:10
Speaker 6: It's dilapidated.
35:11
Speaker 13: It looks like it looks like a rock circle of
35:13
Speaker 13: two thousand and five, like bombs went off there. There's
35:15
Speaker 13: stray dogs, people are skeletal, they're banging for scrap, there's
35:18
Speaker 13: immense poverty. It's just sad. And no one can see
35:22
Speaker 13: what I saw in my fairly brief trip four or
35:24
Speaker 13: five days whatever it was, seven years ago to Cuba.
35:26
Speaker 13: No one can see that in come way thinking that
35:28
Speaker 13: communism is good. So there's a perverse part of me
35:31
Speaker 13: that actually helps that if there's any silver lining out
35:33
Speaker 13: of this outrageous stunt, that we actually start getting some
35:36
Speaker 13: more images and videos of the real Cuba. Now that's
35:39
Speaker 13: not gonna happen, right, because they're probably going to do
35:40
Speaker 13: lots of tailored images and heavily doctor but maybe, maybe,
35:44
Speaker 13: maybe there there's a small chance for at least some
35:47
Speaker 13: people to get something closer to the real story. In
35:50
Speaker 13: the meantime, though I would prosecute to Son Piker in
35:52
Speaker 13: the lake.
35:53
Speaker 2: Well, some of the saints coming out of there, I
35:56
Speaker 2: just really quite grotesque. So you got these rich liberals
36:00
Speaker 2: from America with their brand new iPhones taking videos from
36:04
Speaker 2: the air conditioned bus the of the poverty and of
36:07
Speaker 2: the of the people, the poverty stricken people who are
36:10
Speaker 2: living under communism. It really is quite perverse, and they
36:14
Speaker 2: think they're helping them by doing that. Now to the
36:17
Speaker 2: war in Iran, and Iran's military is threatening to completely
36:21
Speaker 2: close the Strait of Hormuse if Donald Trump follows through
36:25
Speaker 2: with his threat to destroy Iran's power plants. One House
36:29
Speaker 2: Press Secretary of Caroline Leverett has explained that President Trump
36:33
Speaker 2: expects NATO allies to pull their weight in helping to
36:37
Speaker 2: open the Straits of Humus.
36:39
Speaker 10: NATO allies benefit far more from the reopening of the
36:43
Speaker 10: Street of Hermus than the United States does. As you know,
36:45
Speaker 10: thanks to this President's energy agenda.
36:48
Speaker 2: We are in net ex border of oil.
36:51
Speaker 10: We have enough resources here at home for our people,
36:53
Speaker 10: and that's a good thing. Thanks to President Trump. The
36:56
Speaker 10: street opening is obviously good for America because it will
36:59
Speaker 10: stabilize them the global oil industry. It will bring prices
37:02
Speaker 10: down again, but it greatly benefits Europe and our allies
37:06
Speaker 10: in NATO, and the President wants to see them do more.
37:09
Speaker 2: Josh, it appears NATO again expects America to do all
37:12
Speaker 2: the heavy lifting, even though they're the ones that are
37:16
Speaker 2: reliant on foreign oil.
37:19
Speaker 1: Yeah.
37:19
Speaker 13: Rito, this is actually my lead story of my own
37:21
Speaker 13: show this past Friday. NATO has never looked more useless
37:25
Speaker 13: than the currently dos. Literally, I'm not sure it actually
37:27
Speaker 13: ever has. If Ever, there was a time, if ever,
37:30
Speaker 13: there was a time for NATO, and especially the western
37:33
Speaker 13: European country of NATO, the wealthy European countries. They are Britain, UK, France, Italy, Germany,
37:38
Speaker 13: et cetera. If ever there was a time, guys, for
37:41
Speaker 13: you to come to the defense of by far the
37:44
Speaker 13: number one funder and defender of NATO, which is the
37:48
Speaker 13: United States. There this would be the time, and this
37:51
Speaker 13: would be the time for a whole host of reasons.
37:53
Speaker 13: One is that the President United States is it's basically
37:55
Speaker 13: begging you to do it. Two, just as importantly, it's
37:58
Speaker 13: not more importantly there these European counts are much more
38:01
Speaker 13: in the direct crossfire in missile range of Iran than.
38:05
Speaker 6: The United States is actually there.
38:06
Speaker 13: So, if ever there was a time guys to come
38:09
Speaker 13: and lock arms and join forces with the President of
38:11
Speaker 13: United States and the United States more ginerally, this really
38:14
Speaker 13: would be the time. I continue to think, Rita, what
38:18
Speaker 13: is the point of NATO in the year twenty twenty six.
38:20
Speaker 13: I'm honestly not sure that I could tell you. NATO
38:23
Speaker 13: was founded in nineteen forty nine as an anti Soviets alliance.
38:27
Speaker 13: It made a lot of sense, and of course that
38:30
Speaker 13: mission was famously accomplished. You had Ronald Reagan, Magnue Thatcher,
38:33
Speaker 13: John Paul the Second, then you have the defeat of communism.
38:36
Speaker 13: But this happened a long time ago. The Berlin Wall
38:39
Speaker 13: literally fell in the year I was born nineteen eighty nine,
38:42
Speaker 13: and the Soviet uniformly dissolves into the Russian Federation two
38:44
Speaker 13: years later in ninet ninety one. Here we are, three
38:48
Speaker 13: and a half decades after that. What is the point
38:50
Speaker 13: exactly of this organization other than just to give essentially
38:54
Speaker 13: an escape patch, to allow a bunch of free riders
38:56
Speaker 13: there on the European confident. When it comes to the
38:58
Speaker 13: American taxpayer, I'm genuinely I'm not sure how they good
39:00
Speaker 13: answer that question there. I'm not saying that America can
39:03
Speaker 13: go it along. I very much value bilateral relations. Bilateral alliances.
39:07
Speaker 13: Israel's frankly good examples they've proven of the course of
39:10
Speaker 13: this war effort there. But if you're going to be
39:11
Speaker 13: in an outlly of the United States, you probably should
39:14
Speaker 13: actually act like one and not just basically benefit from
39:17
Speaker 13: our from the American taxpayer largest which is basically a
39:20
Speaker 13: cure storm ammanual coron all the rest of these bums
39:22
Speaker 13: are currently doing.
39:24
Speaker 2: Now, before you go, Josh, you wrote in the La
39:27
Speaker 2: Times recently about climate change elamism is that it's diminishing,
39:32
Speaker 2: and there's a growing doubt about the catastrophic climate predictions
39:37
Speaker 2: we've heard for well decades. Now, tell me about that,
39:40
Speaker 2: because there has been some recent polling showing young people
39:44
Speaker 2: in particular no longer see climate change as a top
39:48
Speaker 2: tier issue.
39:50
Speaker 13: Yeah, So the longer story is basically what you say
39:53
Speaker 13: is that the polling is starting to level off a
39:54
Speaker 13: little bit. For a long time, this was an ever
39:56
Speaker 13: ascending issue around the time of Al Gore's Inconvenient Truth.
40:00
Speaker 6: For about a decade after that, it.
40:01
Speaker 13: Really just seemed like younger Americans were trending in an
40:05
Speaker 13: ordently pro greeny, pro radical, pro environmentalist direction. The polls
40:09
Speaker 13: have genuinely leveled off. But the big thing to me
40:11
Speaker 13: that got me thinking more about this issue Rego was
40:13
Speaker 13: that Bill Gates himself was one of the Douyennes show
40:16
Speaker 13: say when the Douillens of climate change alarm is along
40:19
Speaker 13: with Al Gore, Bill Gates wrote a blog post really
40:22
Speaker 13: kind of slipped under the radar at his own website
40:25
Speaker 13: this past October, I believe it was at his foundation's
40:28
Speaker 13: website where he said where he essentially said, you know what,
40:30
Speaker 13: I was formally of the opinion that the world is
40:33
Speaker 13: going to end because of this, and you know what,
40:35
Speaker 13: I think I actually was probably overstaying it.
40:36
Speaker 6: Don't get it wrong.
40:37
Speaker 13: It's still not great, blah blah blahlah blah, but the
40:39
Speaker 13: world's not gonna end. And I saw that, I was like, uh,
40:42
Speaker 13: that's a big concession. Actually, that's essentially one hundred eighty
40:47
Speaker 13: degree flip flop. And there's been a lot of similar
40:50
Speaker 13: instances like that. So I think that the cat is
40:53
Speaker 13: out of the bag on this one, that Democrats are
40:55
Speaker 13: starting to realize that this is a losing issue.
40:58
Speaker 6: In my estimation.
40:58
Speaker 13: The number one reason younger Americans are starting to pull
41:01
Speaker 13: in a slightly more realistic direction on this issue is
41:04
Speaker 13: because the cost of wiving here is difficult enough as
41:07
Speaker 13: it is when it comes to income. When it comes
41:09
Speaker 13: to fact that two thirds of Americans the patriot the
41:11
Speaker 13: patriot there no one wants to deal with the artificially
41:13
Speaker 13: inflated prices that.
41:14
Speaker 6: Come with the radical greening genders.
41:16
Speaker 13: This is basically a massive wager by Democrats starting about
41:20
Speaker 13: two decades ago, again with Al Gore and the whole
41:22
Speaker 13: superdocumentary and all that crap. But at this point I
41:25
Speaker 13: think that the checks are in and the checks and
41:27
Speaker 13: fortune Democrats are avowedly bouncing.
41:29
Speaker 2: I would say, Josh Hamma, thank you so much for
41:33
Speaker 2: your time, Thank you so much. Rita still to come
41:36
Speaker 2: all the latest royal and entertainment us including claims singer
41:40
Speaker 2: Chapel Roone may Jude Law's young daughter cry, how dare she?
41:45
Speaker 2: Kinsey Schofield has the details. Welcome back joining me now,
41:59
Speaker 2: celebrity commentator Kinsey Schofield. Kinsey, We've got to talk about
42:05
Speaker 2: pop star Chapel Roan. Now, a lot of our viewers
42:09
Speaker 2: won't even know who that is. But she thinks she
42:11
Speaker 2: is the biggest star in the world. And she's been
42:14
Speaker 2: accused of making Jude Law's eleven year old daughter cry
42:18
Speaker 2: during an interaction in Brazil. She apparently sent her bodyguard
42:22
Speaker 2: to criticize the young girl and scold her mother. Kinsey
42:27
Speaker 2: tell me about this, it just seems like an incredible interaction.
42:32
Speaker 14: Yeah, so it's actually her stepfather that posted about it
42:35
Speaker 14: on social media, saying that his stepdaughter just wanted to
42:40
Speaker 14: confirm that it was her, walked past her table and
42:42
Speaker 14: then a big, tough, angry, mean security guard came got
42:46
Speaker 14: in her face and made her cry. Now Ron has
42:49
Speaker 14: made a video saying, oh, I had nothing to do
42:52
Speaker 14: with it. He's not my personal bodyguard. But there are
42:54
Speaker 14: plenty of examples of Roan misbehaving when it comes to
42:58
Speaker 14: fan engagement, misbehaving when it comes to photographers on a carpet,
43:02
Speaker 14: like when she's there to perform for those photographers. So
43:06
Speaker 14: I'm not buying it, Rita, I think that she probably
43:09
Speaker 14: did have my personal opinion, I think she probably did
43:12
Speaker 14: make some like snooty comment that sent this security guard
43:15
Speaker 14: over to scold this baby. And I think the only
43:18
Speaker 14: reason she's fake apologizing is because it's Jude Law's daughter.
43:25
Speaker 2: Exactly. And it is Jude Law's daughter, that child is
43:30
Speaker 2: used to being around famous people. The stepfather you mentioned
43:34
Speaker 2: is a soccer star. So to suggest that this eleven
43:38
Speaker 2: year old was behaving a poorly or intruding aunt Chappelle
43:44
Speaker 2: having her breakfast seems fairly nonsensical. And you mentioned the behavior.
43:48
Speaker 2: Let's have a look at this clip. Let's see how
43:50
Speaker 2: she treats her fans. Here she claims they are perhaps
43:54
Speaker 2: harassing her, even though she's the one who's shown up
43:57
Speaker 2: to a celebrity hotspot, disregarded as a human. This is
44:01
Speaker 2: what it's like.
44:03
Speaker 10: So I'm just trying to go to dinner and I've
44:05
Speaker 10: asked these people several times to get away from.
44:09
Speaker 2: Person.
44:09
Speaker 1: I've asked several.
44:10
Speaker 2: Times to go away, and they will not. They're hiding
44:12
Speaker 2: their face because they're a tread pass them. These are
44:17
Speaker 2: all the people completely disregarding all of the So this
44:25
Speaker 2: is then go away, so all of you, oh kids,
44:32
Speaker 2: she ain't the most likable pop star. I can't put
44:36
Speaker 2: it any more nicely than that.
44:39
Speaker 14: I mean, being a pop star means living in the spotlight,
44:42
Speaker 14: and that spotlight is powered by fans when Rowan's shows
44:46
Speaker 14: open frustration to them or to photographers, it reads as
44:51
Speaker 14: completely ungrateful. Boundaries are reasonable, but hostility is not.
44:57
Speaker 2: And I loved in that clip where she said that
45:00
Speaker 2: you know this character is so ashamed he's hiding his
45:03
Speaker 2: face and that he just smiles right at the Cameron
45:05
Speaker 2: says hello. So uh yeah that I'm surprised she posted
45:09
Speaker 2: that clip. I wouldn't have posted it now. A source
45:11
Speaker 2: close to the matter has told the UK Telegraph that
45:15
Speaker 2: Prince Harry and Meghan Markle could lose their bid for
45:19
Speaker 2: taxpay funded security in the UK due to concerns of
45:23
Speaker 2: a public backlash. Kinsey, what more can you tell me
45:26
Speaker 2: about this?
45:27
Speaker 1: Yeah?
45:27
Speaker 14: So, the political side of the committee making this decision
45:30
Speaker 14: believes there is too much political risk that people will
45:33
Speaker 14: rise up and be angry about having to fork up
45:36
Speaker 14: such a significant amount of money to protect these two,
45:39
Speaker 14: while the police and security chiefs believe that Harry absolutely
45:42
Speaker 14: must have according again him quoting, must have increase security
45:46
Speaker 14: due to threats. Ultimately, RITA, what we think they want
45:50
Speaker 14: is IPP status. IPP stands for internationally Protected person. It's
45:54
Speaker 14: normally applied to presidents, prime ministers and diplomats. If someone
45:59
Speaker 14: has been designated the IPP status, countries are obligated to
46:04
Speaker 14: provide heightened security protection for them, no matter what country
46:07
Speaker 14: it is. For Harry and Meghan, the incentive seems to
46:11
Speaker 14: be international. Well, I think the incentive is ego primarily,
46:14
Speaker 14: but also finance because international government level protection would dramatically
46:20
Speaker 14: reduce the cost of their private security. That would save
46:24
Speaker 14: the Sussexes millions of dollars.
46:28
Speaker 2: Now, insiders have told Page six that Bride'smaid star Rebel
46:32
Speaker 2: Wilson is her own worst enemy. After she unleashed several
46:36
Speaker 2: social media sprays against her so called enemies, including billionaire
46:41
Speaker 2: Selene Lavitic Kinsey. She's had some fairly high profile clashes,
46:47
Speaker 2: including with Sessha Baron Cohen.
46:51
Speaker 14: She I mean girl, Rita, Like, we are we finding
46:53
Speaker 14: out that she might have a dark side?
46:55
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean.
46:56
Speaker 14: Now, Rebel Wilson is being accused of what Blake Lively
46:59
Speaker 14: and Just Baldoni really put on the map recently, an
47:02
Speaker 14: online smear campaign with the objective of damaging someone's project, movie,
47:07
Speaker 14: or career. Is this a new strategy in Hollywood? Absolutely not,
47:12
Speaker 14: But due to the interest surrounding the Baldoni case, I
47:15
Speaker 14: think you will see more lawsuits like this one that
47:17
Speaker 14: exposed the really ugly side of Hollywood. I will stress though,
47:21
Speaker 14: that I don't think Rebel's going to come out of
47:24
Speaker 14: this looking squeaky clean. I think it's already having a
47:27
Speaker 14: negative effect on her personal brand, and I wonder if
47:30
Speaker 14: she will struggle to get work going forward now.
47:35
Speaker 2: A report in The Daily Mail claims that Usher popstar
47:39
Speaker 2: Usher feels underappreciated by his former mente Justin Bieber. Why
47:46
Speaker 2: has Justin Bieber distanced himself from Usher. There's a picture
47:50
Speaker 2: of the pair of them at the moment that's gone
47:52
Speaker 2: viral where fifty cent has had some words to say.
47:57
Speaker 2: I won't repeat it here, Kinziekuls. We could get sued.
48:00
Speaker 2: But there are all sorts of unsavory allegations flying around well.
48:07
Speaker 14: Sources tell The Daily Mail that Bieber and Usher clashed
48:10
Speaker 14: at an Oscars party recently, with Justin's camp someone anonymously
48:14
Speaker 14: stressing that Usher did not protect Justin Bieber when he
48:18
Speaker 14: introduced him into the world as a child pop star.
48:21
Speaker 14: Whether from a moral perspective or a financial perspective, and
48:25
Speaker 14: maybe both, We're not certain, but Justin has struggled with
48:28
Speaker 14: his mental health as an adult and seems to resent
48:31
Speaker 14: a lot of the original team.
48:35
Speaker 2: Yes, I think fifty cent knows a little bit about this,
48:38
Speaker 2: and I do wonder whether there'll be another documentary on
48:42
Speaker 2: these sorts of issues that we're touching on now. Sag
48:46
Speaker 2: Harbor Police have released bodycam footage from Justin Timberlake's twenty
48:50
Speaker 2: twenty four DUI arrest, despite the singer's attempts to block it.
48:55
Speaker 2: Here is struggling to complete field sobriety tests after he
48:59
Speaker 2: was pulled over fool allegedly running a stop sign.
49:03
Speaker 4: Good, but you're right, but in front of your left
49:04
Speaker 4: to stay just like that, Okay, you.
49:06
Speaker 1: Give me heal the toe like this field to It's
49:10
Speaker 1: a normal process.
49:12
Speaker 2: Yeah, yes, everything is pretty standard.
49:18
Speaker 1: Do I think specifically that you are wondering or.
49:22
Speaker 2: Just no, no, no, I just.
49:23
Speaker 12: Wondered, like like you really cut.
49:26
Speaker 6: People up and yeah, all right, it might not be
49:30
Speaker 6: this one, it might be over the other one.
49:31
Speaker 1: And they actually had nks for.
49:32
Speaker 2: Him as wow, man, kinzie, why is this coming out now?
49:38
Speaker 2: This is almost two years.
49:39
Speaker 14: Old because media has requested it. There was a Freedom
49:43
Speaker 14: of Information Act request and Timberlake sued fought to keep it,
49:48
Speaker 14: you know, locked away, because the police station did tell
49:52
Speaker 14: TMZ at the time that it happened that they would
49:54
Speaker 14: not be releasing the body camp So somebody was technically
49:56
Speaker 14: dishonest here. But can I just tell you, drinking and
49:59
Speaker 14: dry is horrible. But if Justin Timberlake was afraid that
50:02
Speaker 14: this video would ruin him, it's had the opposite effect.
50:05
Speaker 14: The internet is actually has.
50:07
Speaker 11: Oh they're they're dying over Justin looking at the cop
50:11
Speaker 11: and questioning why the cop wrote white under his race,
50:16
Speaker 11: and then he starts cracking up, and then the cop
50:18
Speaker 11: giggles and he's like just kidding. I mean, people are watching.
50:22
Speaker 14: This going they feel real, real sympathy for him. And
50:25
Speaker 14: yes he's an idiot, Yes he shouldn't have done it,
50:27
Speaker 14: but he's so disappointed at himself. It's so raw, it's
50:30
Speaker 14: so real, and you can't help but go ooh, tough
50:33
Speaker 14: break guy.
50:36
Speaker 12: It is.
50:37
Speaker 2: That's that's the shocking thing. He's he thought, he fought
50:40
Speaker 2: to keep this footage hidden and it's weirdly helped him. Kidsys, goofield,
50:45
Speaker 2: thanks so much for your time, and that's it from me.
50:48
Speaker 2: Don't go anywhere. Newsnight is up next.
