Speaker 1: On scors Oscodio. This is the Reader Panalty Show.
0:09
Speaker 2: Good evening and welcome to the readA Panecky Show. Coming
0:12
Speaker 2: up tonight. Labour's primary vote in free fall in the
0:16
Speaker 2: latest News poll. My panel will join me to discuss
0:19
Speaker 2: the day's top headlines. Treasurer Jim Chalmers's embarrassing boast about
0:24
Speaker 2: small business growth. Glinda Rasso will explain what the Treasurer
0:28
Speaker 2: clearly misunderstood. Josh Hammer will have the latest from the US,
0:32
Speaker 2: including the increasing power of the Radical Socialist movement within
0:37
Speaker 2: the Democrat Party. Sunny Houston pulls the privileged card after
0:42
Speaker 2: her son is arrested. Kinsey Scofield will have all the
0:45
Speaker 2: latest role and entertainment news and Left He's losing It
0:49
Speaker 2: features a pronoun inspired meltdown.
0:54
Speaker 3: Can we get another unit to deal with them? Jay Lee? Here?
0:58
Speaker 3: He is having any bigness.
1:00
Speaker 4: Shine saying the right broad out? Would you say?
1:05
Speaker 2: But first? Labour's primary vote has sung to its equal
1:09
Speaker 2: lowest level since Anthony Albanizi won office in twenty twenty two.
1:13
Speaker 2: The latest News poll data shows a Labour's primary vote
1:16
Speaker 2: for from thirty three to thirty percent. They're now equal
1:20
Speaker 2: with one nation and the coalition's primary vote has risen
1:23
Speaker 2: from the historic law of seventeen percent to sit at
1:27
Speaker 2: nineteen percent. Now, this is interesting. The Prime minister's net
1:31
Speaker 2: approval rating sits at a diabolical minus eighteen percent, with
1:37
Speaker 2: thirty nine percent of voters satisfied with his performance and
1:40
Speaker 2: fifty seven percent dissatisfied. Compare that to Pauline Hanson, whose
1:45
Speaker 2: net approval rating is neutral or sitting on zero, with
1:49
Speaker 2: forty seven percent satisfied and forty seven percent dissatisfied. Joining
1:55
Speaker 2: me now for more on this is Institute of Public
1:57
Speaker 2: Affairs Research fellow Colleen Harken and Sky News contribute our
2:01
Speaker 2: promac sween. Colleen, I'll start with you. The PM's negative
2:05
Speaker 2: eighteen percent approval rating would be a cause of enormous
2:10
Speaker 2: concern for labor most definitely.
2:14
Speaker 5: I mean it is a sign between.
2:16
Speaker 6: Both of those parties about the substantial loss of confidence
2:20
Speaker 6: of both of those traditionally major parties and the role
2:24
Speaker 6: of how really genuinely concerned they are about the role
2:27
Speaker 6: of the standing of one nation and voted dissatisfaction. And
2:32
Speaker 6: I think what's happening here is that both of those
2:35
Speaker 6: traditionally major parties criticizing one nation is actually only making
2:40
Speaker 6: that vote stronger. So they sort of need to be
2:42
Speaker 6: careful of what they wish for in that scenario, because
2:45
Speaker 6: demonizing Australians for having an open and transparent conversation about
2:49
Speaker 6: how they might intend to vote is not going to
2:51
Speaker 6: help either of those traditional parties.
2:56
Speaker 2: The Libs seem to be slow learners at the moment.
2:59
Speaker 2: They keep attacking one Nation. Earlier today on this station,
3:03
Speaker 2: the Liberal shadow ministers again laying the boots into one
3:08
Speaker 2: Nation instead of focusing on labor, and as Coline said,
3:12
Speaker 2: it's actually not doing them any good. The media attacks,
3:15
Speaker 2: the political attacks against one Nation don't seem to be
3:19
Speaker 2: affecting their figures too much in the polls.
3:21
Speaker 7: Exactly. It's ridiculous.
3:24
Speaker 8: The backroom boys are obviously saying to Taylor, you know,
3:28
Speaker 8: stick the boot into her.
3:30
Speaker 7: We can always do a deal.
3:32
Speaker 8: As remember, of course Albanezi always said he'd never do
3:34
Speaker 8: a deal with the Greens, and of course he does
3:37
Speaker 8: do deals with the Greens. And this will happen if
3:40
Speaker 8: the Libs need to rely on one Nation to.
3:44
Speaker 7: Get to government.
3:46
Speaker 8: But as you said, Rita, the more they stick it
3:49
Speaker 8: into one nation, and Pauline Hanson, the more that they're
3:54
Speaker 8: going to pay for it because they can verbal her
3:58
Speaker 8: and gaslight her. Call it populist politics, Well, it's actually
4:03
Speaker 8: popular politics. It's reflecting the concerns and mood of the community.
4:10
Speaker 2: This claim of populism I've always found profoundly amusing because
4:17
Speaker 2: you're in the game of politics. It's a democratic processed
4:21
Speaker 2: and the person with the most votes wins. So populism,
4:24
Speaker 2: I would have thought, is just another way of democracy
4:29
Speaker 2: doing its thing. Now, let's talk about Victoria. Almost two
4:33
Speaker 2: thirds of voters in Victoria no longer believe the just
4:37
Speaker 2: into Alan government can remedy the state's housing crisis. And
4:40
Speaker 2: you report by Amplify Australia revealed sixty five percent of
4:45
Speaker 2: Victorian's think the government won't reach its housing targets in
4:48
Speaker 2: the next four years. CEO Martin Cordina said, the Victorian
4:53
Speaker 2: government is facing a crisis of confidence on housing. Prove
4:58
Speaker 2: we've got a war shopping. Eighty percent of the state
5:03
Speaker 2: worried about the impacts of immigration on housing availability, a
5:08
Speaker 2: topic you would never hear the Premiere or anyone in
5:11
Speaker 2: labor addressing in any serious manner.
5:14
Speaker 8: I'm surprised it's only eighty percent. I mean, we know
5:17
Speaker 8: the basket case that Victoria is with the big build,
5:22
Speaker 8: the fact that there's been so much waste of money,
5:26
Speaker 8: and the lies and the spin, the deals with the unions, etc.
5:31
Speaker 7: And it's really concerning.
5:33
Speaker 8: So you know, we all know that immigration is causing
5:37
Speaker 8: demand for housing. We are not meeting housing targets. We
5:41
Speaker 8: cannot meet those housing targets. So of course the population
5:46
Speaker 8: is going to wake up to the fact that this
5:49
Speaker 8: is spin and lies and promises that the government will
5:52
Speaker 8: not keep, and they're all going to suffer, whether they're
5:55
Speaker 8: renters or home buyers.
5:58
Speaker 2: Colleen, I think Victoria has given the of the country
6:00
Speaker 2: a little preview of what happens in the housing sector
6:04
Speaker 2: when you embrace these leftist anti investment positions. This state
6:10
Speaker 2: has really gone down that road strongly. The land tax
6:15
Speaker 2: in this state, plus all the tenancy laws that were changed,
6:20
Speaker 2: which make it really quite unattractive to be a landlord
6:24
Speaker 2: in this state.
6:26
Speaker 6: Well, for a long time, Victoria has treated housing as
6:29
Speaker 6: something to regulate, not something to build, and the consequences
6:33
Speaker 6: of that have been extraordinary burden on investment, on the
6:37
Speaker 6: opportunity to get into housing. You know, what we need
6:40
Speaker 6: is we need to make housing faster, to be able
6:44
Speaker 6: to build, to remove the regulation, we want to get government.
6:47
Speaker 5: Out of the way.
6:48
Speaker 6: Victoria has some of the highest taxing scenario in the country,
6:52
Speaker 6: which just makes investments difficult and unpalatable. So we have
6:55
Speaker 6: a sort of a perfect storm of all of the
6:57
Speaker 6: things that make housing an achievable target. And you know,
7:03
Speaker 6: with all of the layer upon layer of von problems,
7:07
Speaker 6: including what Prouges referred to the immigration component increasing population,
7:12
Speaker 6: it is no wonder that it is one of the major.
7:14
Speaker 5: Issues that Victorian's are most concerned about.
7:18
Speaker 9: Now.
7:19
Speaker 2: Child psychiatrist Jillian Spencer has been formally cleared of wrongdoing
7:23
Speaker 2: by Queensland Children's Hospital after it suspended her three years
7:28
Speaker 2: ago for speaking out about so called gender firming care
7:31
Speaker 2: for children. Doctor Spencer was stood down from clinical duties
7:35
Speaker 2: in April twenty twenty three after assessing a patient who
7:39
Speaker 2: was under the care of the hospital's gender clinic and
7:42
Speaker 2: who had been taking puberty blockers. A complaint of transphobia
7:47
Speaker 2: was made after consultation, and the hospital then decided she
7:50
Speaker 2: was a risk to the safety of transgender and gender
7:54
Speaker 2: diverse children. In a statement, the hospital and the Health
7:58
Speaker 2: Service said its disputes which Childhood Allison psychiatrists have now
8:02
Speaker 2: been settled and all matters had been resolved by mutual agreement.
8:07
Speaker 2: We spoke to Jillian on Outsiders yesterday morning, Colen. What
8:14
Speaker 2: this woman has endured is utterly shameful. There was institutional
8:19
Speaker 2: bullying in my opinion, from start to finish.
8:23
Speaker 5: And the other so you know, I agree with you,
8:24
Speaker 5: Redra and the others.
8:25
Speaker 6: To know here is to remember that it has gone
8:28
Speaker 6: on for three years. So hately, Yeah, her ability to
8:33
Speaker 6: actually speak out with professional integrity and raise a question,
8:37
Speaker 6: that's all that was actually done was just to raise
8:39
Speaker 6: a question about is this pathway best care? Are there
8:44
Speaker 6: other considerations that we're not exposing and talking about?
8:49
Speaker 5: And so she's been shut down and.
8:50
Speaker 6: Her everything about her professional standing has been questioned, and
8:55
Speaker 6: the fact that it's gone on for so long is
8:56
Speaker 6: an absolute disgrace. We need to rely on our professionals
9:00
Speaker 6: to be able to transparently talk about you know, scientific evidence,
9:05
Speaker 6: and to be able to question what is going on
9:08
Speaker 6: in practice and whether we're doing the best thing by
9:11
Speaker 6: those who are in need of care.
9:14
Speaker 2: Prue Gillian's plight here, I think just illustrates perfectly. Why
9:21
Speaker 2: so many professionals are reluctant to say anything because you
9:25
Speaker 2: see what's happened to her, three years of her life,
9:28
Speaker 2: three years of a professional life, a reputation, all being
9:32
Speaker 2: dragged through the mud, for having the temerity to speak
9:36
Speaker 2: the truth, for having the courage to take a stand
9:38
Speaker 2: on such an important issue.
9:41
Speaker 8: You know, this is state sanctioned child abuse as far
9:44
Speaker 8: as I'm concerned, and I just feel it's a shocking
9:49
Speaker 8: indictment on everyone concerned.
9:51
Speaker 7: But this is the problem with the society.
9:53
Speaker 8: That we have groups of people, many of them in power,
9:58
Speaker 8: who can suddenly keep Pete whistleb Boa is silent.
10:02
Speaker 7: You know, we have it's a group think it's bullying.
10:06
Speaker 8: And thank goodness, we've got warriors like Jillian, who is able,
10:11
Speaker 8: who's brave enough to stand up and say enough but
10:15
Speaker 8: not enough of that is happening, as you say, And
10:17
Speaker 8: I think, good honor.
10:19
Speaker 7: I ad my her greatly.
10:21
Speaker 8: We need warriors like her, And how appalling And what
10:25
Speaker 8: is it going to cost? What does this cost the
10:27
Speaker 8: health system to fight this poor woman?
10:31
Speaker 2: And hopefully you have more professionals find their courage and
10:35
Speaker 2: when one of their own is persecuted like this, they
10:39
Speaker 2: take a stand, They write into their professional bodies, they
10:42
Speaker 2: speak to the media and they say this isn't healthy.
10:46
Speaker 2: This is a climate of fear that's been created where
10:49
Speaker 2: people aren't going to be speaking out. And we're talking
10:51
Speaker 2: about professionals here who know better than most what's happening
10:55
Speaker 2: in that area. Now, before you go, I've got to
10:58
Speaker 2: talk about the World couple lot of Usustralians would have
11:00
Speaker 2: been up early to watch Spain defeat Argentina to be
11:04
Speaker 2: crowned World Cup champions. Donald Trump, of course, was front
11:08
Speaker 2: and center during the victory ceremony, handing medals to the
11:12
Speaker 2: Spanish players and watching he out hand the trophy to
11:16
Speaker 2: the winning side. He was reluctant to get out of shot.
11:19
Speaker 9: And President total Trump, who turned eighty over the first
11:23
Speaker 9: weekend of this World.
11:24
Speaker 4: Cup, and it will be brought to.
11:26
Speaker 9: Them, the president of the game, the president of the
11:30
Speaker 9: USA in twenty.
11:35
Speaker 4: Twenty six, the champions.
11:37
Speaker 5: Of the World.
11:39
Speaker 2: Of Spain, and you will see some of the Spanish
11:43
Speaker 2: players doing the Trump dance, the iconic WYMCA fist pump
11:48
Speaker 2: dance prue. He was reluctant to get out of a
11:52
Speaker 2: shot there as the player celebrated. He loves a photo bomb.
11:56
Speaker 2: This is extraordinary what he has got in his set term.
12:00
Speaker 2: If he'd been allowed to win that twenty twenty election,
12:03
Speaker 2: depending on who you believe, he perhaps did win it,
12:06
Speaker 2: but those efforts were frustrated. He would have missed the
12:11
Speaker 2: World Cup, he would have missed the two hundred and
12:13
Speaker 2: fifty year anniversary of the country, and he would have
12:15
Speaker 2: missed the Olympics. All of those things will be happening
12:19
Speaker 2: in his second term, or he's already had two of them.
12:21
Speaker 2: The Olympics we get to come.
12:23
Speaker 7: The Trumpster loves to be amongst the winners and to be.
12:27
Speaker 8: Associating with anything that's positive and good on him.
12:32
Speaker 7: I was more anxious.
12:33
Speaker 8: I thought, how the hell is the sniper going to
12:35
Speaker 8: take him out? You know, I was really anxious more
12:37
Speaker 8: about that. So they must have had great security. But
12:41
Speaker 8: he didn't want to give them exactly what he'd said
12:43
Speaker 8: about Spain too. He'd really been route to them, so
12:46
Speaker 8: he wasn't prepared to eat humble pie. You just you know,
12:49
Speaker 8: was dusted it off, as the Trumpster does.
12:53
Speaker 7: Well.
12:53
Speaker 2: Yeah, he was rooting for Argentina coleeen of course, Harvey
12:57
Speaker 2: and Milay his great friend the lead live there. And
13:00
Speaker 2: of course Spain these days is a bit of a
13:04
Speaker 2: leftist government. It's been a bit of a thorn in
13:07
Speaker 2: America's side in geopolitics discussions. But it was all happy
13:12
Speaker 2: celebrations there. There was no ill will.
13:15
Speaker 6: Well, I'm one of these people who are saying, is
13:18
Speaker 6: the World Cup over?
13:19
Speaker 5: Is a soccer finished?
13:20
Speaker 6: I'm not a very good sporting person, so but it
13:24
Speaker 6: is nice to see. It's kind of like, you know,
13:27
Speaker 6: a happy rivalry that's just you know, it's not overly politicized.
13:31
Speaker 6: It's just a good fun thing that people get together
13:34
Speaker 6: and enjoy sort of celebrating each other's customs. I love
13:37
Speaker 6: the Spanish people sort of starting to dance in the background.
13:40
Speaker 5: I thought that was fabulous.
13:41
Speaker 6: I have a good question about Jeff Pesoss's white shoes
13:45
Speaker 6: with your suit.
13:46
Speaker 5: That was interesting to see.
13:47
Speaker 6: Oh yes, but yeah, but you know, winners, the grinners,
13:51
Speaker 6: it's all true. It's all great, you know, for sort
13:54
Speaker 6: of you know, it's celebrating culture.
13:57
Speaker 2: Well, the halftime show the rematch was also a world class.
14:03
Speaker 2: I'll be talking to Kinsey Schofield about that later in
14:06
Speaker 2: the hour. Ladies, thank you so much for your time
14:09
Speaker 2: today Colleen Harkin Prue McSween now to another sign that
14:13
Speaker 2: the Treasurer, Jim Chalmers is hopelessly out of his death.
14:17
Speaker 2: He simply does not understand basic economic data and principles.
14:22
Speaker 2: The Treasurer boasted on x that more new businesses were
14:25
Speaker 2: created in June after the budget than in any other
14:29
Speaker 2: month on record. What he fails to understand that this
14:33
Speaker 2: data is driven by accountants restructuring trusts into companies to
14:38
Speaker 2: get around his government's tax reforms tax hikes. Joining me
14:43
Speaker 2: now is Tax invest Accounting director Blinda Razzo. Belinda explain
14:49
Speaker 2: this data, no doubt some of it does reflect new
14:52
Speaker 2: business activity, but a great deal of it would be
14:56
Speaker 2: post budget restructuring.
15:00
Speaker 10: Lutely, and when I saw this tweet, like a lot
15:02
Speaker 10: of small business owners, I was actually furious. This is
15:07
Speaker 10: gas lighting at its binus to be honest, and it's
15:10
Speaker 10: misinterpreting and cherry pick in the data. So firstly, when
15:14
Speaker 10: we look at the data that he's actually released, number one,
15:17
Speaker 10: he's only looking at the figures of a proprietary limited.
15:20
Speaker 10: He's not looking at the four different structures in the
15:23
Speaker 10: country which we all know that we've got sole Trader
15:25
Speaker 10: we've got proprietary limited trusts and partnerships and predominantly we
15:30
Speaker 10: have sole traders in the country. Now, these figures that
15:34
Speaker 10: he's cherry picking has come straight after the budget. Now
15:37
Speaker 10: I can tell you as a registered tax agent and
15:39
Speaker 10: a tax accountant the amount of inquiries that we've had
15:43
Speaker 10: is just phenomenal since the budget.
15:45
Speaker 2: So of course I will say.
15:47
Speaker 10: That this figure of the new entities and new proprietary
15:50
Speaker 10: limiteds is correct. But the reason for this is a
15:53
Speaker 10: lot of people, a lot of small businesses are looking
15:56
Speaker 10: at restructuring from the trust because of the thirty percent minimum.
16:00
Speaker 2: Tax that's been included.
16:02
Speaker 10: And we haven't even seen that draft legislation yet. And
16:05
Speaker 10: also I needed to factor in how many investors are
16:09
Speaker 10: actually turning towards entities rather than just borrowing or purchasing
16:14
Speaker 10: these properties under their own names. So their cherry picking
16:17
Speaker 10: this data just simply to suit themselves. But there's a
16:21
Speaker 10: lot more to this tweet that actually is behind it
16:25
Speaker 10: as well, and that's made me very furious as well.
16:29
Speaker 2: Well. It's a question of whether it's ignorance or deliberate deception.
16:36
Speaker 2: It's one or the other, because this data isn't reflecting
16:39
Speaker 2: what the Treasure is claiming. It's not saying that small
16:44
Speaker 2: business activity is at record levels because people are just
16:48
Speaker 2: so confident and enamored by its budgets. Absolutely correct. Now,
16:54
Speaker 2: the Prime Minister made an interesting common recently as well.
16:57
Speaker 2: He said there is a potential for super funds to
17:00
Speaker 2: be seen as a national asset that can be used
17:04
Speaker 2: more appropriately. That prompted a sharp response from Westpac chief
17:08
Speaker 2: executive Anthony Miller, who told the Prime Minister to keep
17:12
Speaker 2: his hands away from Super Blinda. How concern should Australian
17:17
Speaker 2: investors be about debt riddled governments looking at their super
17:22
Speaker 2: as a source of potential income.
17:26
Speaker 10: It's a really interesting question because I did have a
17:28
Speaker 10: video on this on our social media and it's had
17:31
Speaker 10: massive response over the week over the weekend on all platforms,
17:35
Speaker 10: and the one thing that every Aussie.
17:38
Speaker 2: Is saying is hands off.
17:40
Speaker 10: Now. We do know that they can't just go in
17:42
Speaker 10: and touch our super now, but the way these laws
17:45
Speaker 10: are is that they can actually structure tax concessions to
17:50
Speaker 10: make it a lot more tempting for these super funds
17:54
Speaker 10: to actually do this, and we have seen that. So
17:58
Speaker 10: when we look at the new legislation and for say,
18:00
Speaker 10: purchasing and established property. If you are a superannuation fund,
18:05
Speaker 10: not an SMSF. If you're a superfund or a widely
18:08
Speaker 10: held trust, you're able to actually purchase an established property
18:14
Speaker 10: and still continue to negatively gear. So when we look
18:17
Speaker 10: at could this happen in the future, absolutely it can
18:20
Speaker 10: because those tax concessions and the laws that they've got
18:23
Speaker 10: around this, that's already happening. And this is why people
18:27
Speaker 10: are panicked and people are angry, and there's been an
18:29
Speaker 10: uproar about it. It's also important to note it's not
18:32
Speaker 10: the first time Albanezi has said this. He does have
18:35
Speaker 10: form on this, and he said it as way back
18:36
Speaker 10: as twenty twenty.
18:37
Speaker 2: Three, Blinda before you go. The auction clearance rate has
18:41
Speaker 2: once again dropped below fifty percent Nationally. Clearance rates plummeted
18:45
Speaker 2: to the low forties in mid June after the budget's
18:49
Speaker 2: property tax hikes. How grim is the housing market right now?
18:54
Speaker 2: The clearance rate is down, is volume down also?
18:58
Speaker 7: Absolutely?
18:58
Speaker 10: And this is a word that we get getting from
19:00
Speaker 10: real estate professionals around the country and brokers as well.
19:03
Speaker 10: And the one word that I would say is hesitant.
19:06
Speaker 10: That's what most people are at the moment. They're hesitant.
19:09
Speaker 10: They don't know what this is going to mean. We're
19:12
Speaker 10: not expecting to have a big spring season like we
19:15
Speaker 10: normally would in the real estate market. And on top
19:18
Speaker 10: of the sales going down, the clearance rates going down,
19:21
Speaker 10: we're also seeing a market increase in the red prices
19:24
Speaker 10: around the country as well, which is very alarming.
19:28
Speaker 2: Do you expect to see rents to increase further? We've
19:32
Speaker 2: got more and more investors exiting the market. The pool
19:36
Speaker 2: of rental properties is diminishing. I mean that just tells
19:39
Speaker 2: you the laws of supply and demand, meaning rents are
19:42
Speaker 2: going to go up. Do you see that happening because
19:44
Speaker 2: Treasury is modeling says it won't happen.
19:47
Speaker 7: Absolutely, I see it happening.
19:49
Speaker 10: If you look back in history and what happened in
19:51
Speaker 10: eighty five to eighty seven, the biggest issue was they
19:54
Speaker 10: started out with a supply issue, is predominantly in Sydney
19:58
Speaker 10: and Perth. Now started with the supply issue all around
20:02
Speaker 10: the country. Now, to just think that this won't happen
20:04
Speaker 10: again is just either being ignorant or just wishing for
20:08
Speaker 10: a different result. And I'd like to think that they're
20:10
Speaker 10: not as much being ignorant. They're just hoping for a
20:13
Speaker 10: different result. But that's not going to happen. We can
20:15
Speaker 10: already see the markers out there. They're saying two dollars
20:18
Speaker 10: a week.
20:19
Speaker 7: It's already exceeded that.
20:22
Speaker 2: Belinda Razzo, thank you so much for your time tonight.
20:25
Speaker 7: Thank you.
20:26
Speaker 2: Coming up Lefties Losing It plus all the letters from
20:30
Speaker 2: the US, including the increasing power of radical socialists within
20:35
Speaker 2: the Democrat Party. Josh Hammer is up next. Welcome back
20:49
Speaker 2: to the Reader Paney Show. It's time for Lefties Losing It.
20:53
Speaker 2: Let's start with the Free State of Florida, where a
20:57
Speaker 2: University of Central Florida student identified as twenty seven year
21:00
Speaker 2: old Jared Vic lost his mind and screamed like a
21:05
Speaker 2: mad banshee because a campus police officer did not use
21:09
Speaker 2: his preferred pronouns. Get ready for screechy sounds?
21:15
Speaker 3: Can we get another unit to deal with jay Lee?
21:18
Speaker 3: Here he is having a breakdown.
21:21
Speaker 4: Say the right, proud.
21:25
Speaker 3: You say, get down on the ground right now, ready
21:30
Speaker 3: to get sprayed?
21:32
Speaker 4: Right now?
21:34
Speaker 3: I can come in there.
21:35
Speaker 4: Will be alone. Please, Okay, are you gonna calm down?
21:38
Speaker 11: I'm getting my phone out.
21:42
Speaker 2: Oh it does not end there. The pronoun inspired meltdown
21:46
Speaker 2: only got worse. More screechy sounds to follow.
21:50
Speaker 4: I will calm down.
21:58
Speaker 11: If you come down, come towards me, step jump down
22:13
Speaker 11: and got.
22:17
Speaker 4: Stop away.
22:27
Speaker 3: You don't tell me where to go.
22:31
Speaker 4: Top.
22:32
Speaker 2: You know, that whole interaction started with the blue head
22:36
Speaker 2: Lefty being horribly rude and hostile to the officer, and
22:40
Speaker 2: he's still screeching about his preferred pronoun here he screams, she, she, she.
22:49
Speaker 4: Sh shy.
22:51
Speaker 12: Stop jock by just say say.
23:04
Speaker 4: Josh, you please to tell them to your right rus.
23:09
Speaker 2: Somehow, throughout it all, the officer maintained a level of
23:13
Speaker 2: calm that was frankly heroic. But in the end he
23:17
Speaker 2: laid down the law and put this miscreant in handcuffs.
23:20
Speaker 3: So I'm going to ask you very nicely, put your
23:23
Speaker 3: stuff down, turn around, put your hands behind your back,
23:30
Speaker 3: get on the ground right now.
23:31
Speaker 4: Don't don't hurt me. Get on the ground right now,
23:35
Speaker 4: don't get down.
23:46
Speaker 2: Took another five minutes to actually get him into handcuffs,
23:50
Speaker 2: and Vic was eventually charged with a number of offenses.
23:54
Speaker 2: Now that footage has only just come to light, but
23:56
Speaker 2: that whole circus happened last year, and it just shows
24:00
Speaker 2: you the excesses of the trans movement and why people
24:03
Speaker 2: are resisting it. Now to the exciting news that President
24:07
Speaker 2: Joe Biden or whoever works his autopen, has written a book.
24:13
Speaker 13: Yay, that's the presidency.
24:15
Speaker 9: I've had a lot of people ask me, Joe, what
24:17
Speaker 9: have you been doing. I've written the book about my
24:20
Speaker 9: time as president, leading the country through COVID, rebuilding our economy,
24:26
Speaker 9: and restoring our democracy after the attack on January sixth
24:31
Speaker 9: any no nation's longest won in everygdesty, strengthening leader, and
24:35
Speaker 9: supporting Ukraine. That's about why I chose to run for
24:40
Speaker 9: re election and why I chose to step aside.
24:43
Speaker 2: Yes, the Biden family has to make money somehow. Jill's
24:47
Speaker 2: already released her book, and now former President Joe. They've
24:51
Speaker 2: got to do something now that Hunter Biden's shonky exploits
24:55
Speaker 2: have been curtailed. No more ten percent for the big guy.
24:59
Speaker 2: Let's check in with Hollywood. Now, how is actress Rida
25:02
Speaker 2: Wilson doing?
25:03
Speaker 14: Here?
25:03
Speaker 2: Is missus Tom Hanks inspiring commuters in the subway with song?
25:08
Speaker 5: Do you have to prove it to you?
25:13
Speaker 12: If I don't, then we will lose you. About the
25:18
Speaker 12: bag of every line Roseanne history every time.
25:27
Speaker 4: Tell me how like keep going.
25:32
Speaker 2: Where the brackriss is so slow like my mother did before.
25:39
Speaker 2: That was interesting. Now let's hear from one of the
25:44
Speaker 2: leaders of the Democratic Socialists of America, Linda Sazel, who
25:48
Speaker 2: is done with the Declaration of Independence. She wants the
25:52
Speaker 2: Radical Socialists to write their own founding document for the country.
25:57
Speaker 15: This is the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the
25:59
Speaker 15: Declary of Independence. This is quote unquote America's birthday. And
26:03
Speaker 15: the question historically is going to be, what were we
26:05
Speaker 15: doing on the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the
26:08
Speaker 15: Declaration of Independence? Do we have the audacity to sit
26:12
Speaker 15: around and see that we want to build a document
26:14
Speaker 15: that is our values and our principles. And we're going
26:16
Speaker 15: to survive this, and some of us are going to
26:19
Speaker 15: be on the fight back and some of us are
26:20
Speaker 15: going to be on the other side waiting to catch
26:22
Speaker 15: you when we win.
26:24
Speaker 2: Yep, that's Linda sarzw I've missed her. You might remember
26:27
Speaker 2: her as one of the America haters embraced by the
26:30
Speaker 2: Obama administration. She then became one of the leading lights
26:34
Speaker 2: of the Women's March. Remember that travesty, tens of thousands
26:38
Speaker 2: of women across America across the world donning those ridiculous
26:42
Speaker 2: pussy hats and marching against the Julia elected US president
26:47
Speaker 2: funding how these feminists never much for genuinely oppressed women
26:50
Speaker 2: living under Shariah law. But I digress. Now these days,
26:54
Speaker 2: sazw is one of the Islamist socialist leaders of the
26:58
Speaker 2: darsay the likes of her leading the charge. It's no
27:02
Speaker 2: wonder that even leftist luminaries like Bill Maher, who in
27:06
Speaker 2: the past railed against President Trump, who called him a dictator,
27:10
Speaker 2: said he would never leave offers. Well, they've changed their tune.
27:14
Speaker 2: But first a trip down memory lane. Remember when Bill
27:17
Speaker 2: Maher said this, that's what happens in that kind of
27:21
Speaker 2: a dictatorship, which is what he says. Let's believe him,
27:24
Speaker 2: take him at his word.
27:25
Speaker 1: I did from the beginning. Yeah, I mean, I said,
27:27
Speaker 1: from the very beginning, this guy is never going to
27:29
Speaker 1: concede power. And he still hasn't. He still hasn't admitted
27:34
Speaker 1: he lost the last election, and he advertises that he
27:37
Speaker 1: will go on. He thinks, he says, he's been cheated
27:39
Speaker 1: out of one term, so maybe we should get rid
27:41
Speaker 1: of the only president only gets two terms things, and he.
27:44
Speaker 2: Said plenty more. Bill Maher was almost as batshit crazy
27:49
Speaker 2: as Bobby de Niro there. But now Bill Maher is
27:52
Speaker 2: openly saying he's open to voting for jd Vance. He
27:56
Speaker 2: doesn't want to live in a communist America.
28:00
Speaker 13: You told jd Vance your open, your vote is up
28:03
Speaker 13: for grabs. Yes, my vote is in play because it
28:06
Speaker 13: can't be Trump running. So I'm not living in communist America.
28:11
Speaker 13: I mean, I know the talking point is that it's
28:15
Speaker 13: not communism and socialism. Okay, I've read the quote from
28:19
Speaker 13: the DSA platform from their own mouths. Don't tell me
28:24
Speaker 13: I'm not seeing what I am seeing.
28:26
Speaker 2: Joining me now is Newsweek Senior editor at Large Josh Hammer. Josh,
28:32
Speaker 2: tell me about the increasing power of the DSA within
28:36
Speaker 2: the Democrat Party.
28:39
Speaker 16: You know, you don't have chat about Bill Moore in
28:41
Speaker 16: the past.
28:41
Speaker 17: Memory serves and Bill Maher, I think is emblematic on
28:45
Speaker 17: a personal level of this breedom Americans who find themselves
28:48
Speaker 17: currently politically homeless. And these people are Democrats from the
28:53
Speaker 17: Bill Clinton era who are currently the party has just
28:57
Speaker 17: totally moved beyond them, and they haven't quite brought themselves
28:59
Speaker 17: to to acknowledge the fact that there's only one sane
29:02
Speaker 17: and rational political movements in America, and it's not the left.
29:04
Speaker 16: That it's what's currently happening on the rights.
29:07
Speaker 17: But sooner or later read I think most of the
29:09
Speaker 17: people Bill Maher very much included, will go ahead and
29:11
Speaker 17: wake up and smell the coffee. And part of the
29:12
Speaker 17: reason they will wake up and smell the coffee and
29:14
Speaker 17: because the DSA is now the beating heart of the
29:17
Speaker 17: Democratic Party. So the DSA is the ideological base the
29:21
Speaker 17: party according to the relevant polling Pugh Gallup, all of
29:24
Speaker 17: America's major pollsters, it's also the ideological majority sentiment of
29:28
Speaker 17: the party. And in fact, in Reason Q and Gallipol
29:30
Speaker 17: and you actually see this that socialism now polls more
29:34
Speaker 17: favorably among retiter Democrats than capitalism.
29:37
Speaker 16: So when I say this is not your father's.
29:39
Speaker 17: Grandfather's Democratic Party, it's not the party of Bill Clinton.
29:42
Speaker 17: Bill Clinton famously said in his State of the Union
29:45
Speaker 17: address in nineteen ninety six, I believe the year was
29:48
Speaker 17: that the era of big government is over all these
29:51
Speaker 17: things from my childhood, for many people's lifetime, it's gone.
29:55
Speaker 16: It is just totally gone. You see it happening all
29:57
Speaker 16: across America.
29:58
Speaker 17: Read it's not just happening in New York's city zone,
30:00
Speaker 17: Maam Donnie leaning this whole brigade in New York City.
30:02
Speaker 17: You have the election of this radical out in Colorado,
30:05
Speaker 17: Kiros in a formerly very purple middle of the road
30:09
Speaker 17: district in Colorado. It's happening everywhere. So this is the
30:11
Speaker 17: Democratic Party. You see people who are running for president
30:14
Speaker 17: trying to desperately catch up Rokohana with this ridiculous stunt
30:17
Speaker 17: over in Jay and Samaria a kid the West Bank.
30:19
Speaker 17: They're all tripping over themselves to try to appease to
30:22
Speaker 17: the far for a lout of even Kamala Harris the
30:24
Speaker 17: most reason nominee Kamala Harris an interview a few months
30:27
Speaker 17: ago saying that she's open to having the conversation about
30:29
Speaker 17: abolishing the electoral college in the US Senate.
30:32
Speaker 16: This is radical stuff.
30:33
Speaker 17: And by the way, the DSA platform, and they just
30:35
Speaker 17: revised this past week, the new DSA platform explicitly calls
30:38
Speaker 17: for it explicitly calls to abolish the United States Senate.
30:40
Speaker 17: They want to add Puerto Rico as the state. They
30:42
Speaker 17: want to add Washing duc State. They want to abolish
30:45
Speaker 17: the Senate, they want to pack the Supreme Courts. They
30:48
Speaker 17: want free healthcarefrol they want free everything for all they
30:50
Speaker 17: want they want, they want unicorn farts in heaven and
30:53
Speaker 17: this and that.
30:53
Speaker 16: These people are nuts. They're absolutely nuts.
30:57
Speaker 17: And I think the craziest thing is rita that they
30:59
Speaker 17: are trying to bamboozle us. As Bill Maher accurately gets there,
31:03
Speaker 17: they're trying to convince us that our lying eyes don't
31:06
Speaker 17: see what we actually see. But when people like ma'm
31:09
Speaker 17: donnie quote the Karl Marx Friedrich Engels Communist Manifesto, which
31:13
Speaker 17: ma'ndannie had to have a doing, you don't have to
31:16
Speaker 17: be a mental level IQ, you don't have to be
31:18
Speaker 17: a PhD in history. You see this and you know
31:21
Speaker 17: that it stinks inherently there. And that's why I think
31:23
Speaker 17: Democrats are hemorrhaging voters and almost me to readA. I
31:25
Speaker 17: think this might be Republicans saving graces of relying in
31:28
Speaker 17: come this November in these elections as well.
31:31
Speaker 2: Well, looking beyond the mid terms, how likely are the
31:36
Speaker 2: socialists going to be in determining who the next presidential
31:40
Speaker 2: candidate is? For the Democrats, and well that means that
31:43
Speaker 2: Bernie Sanders will finally get a go.
31:47
Speaker 17: Well, listen, so the DNC rigged the twenty sixteen primaries
31:50
Speaker 17: against Bernie Sanders. Rita, many of us have actually not
31:53
Speaker 17: forgotten that. In many ways, it look it looks like
31:54
Speaker 17: Bernie Sanders was set to win. The establishment came all
31:57
Speaker 17: in for Hillary rod and Clinton ultimately didn't help them
32:00
Speaker 17: too much for whatever it's worth. Back in twenty see,
32:03
Speaker 17: but the DNC has essentially rigged elections against Bernie stands
32:06
Speaker 17: before the problem is that the party establishment, they're clinging
32:11
Speaker 17: on to this illusion that they can ride out this
32:14
Speaker 17: socialist wave. So you have Ken Mahr in the chair
32:16
Speaker 17: of the DNC, you have Chuck Schumer in the US
32:19
Speaker 17: sen and the minority leader. You have like Keim Jeffries
32:22
Speaker 17: minor leader in the House. These people are clinging on
32:24
Speaker 17: to this illusion that the party can just move on
32:27
Speaker 17: from this. But they're not moving on because the polling
32:29
Speaker 17: is there, the young generation is there, this is the movement,
32:32
Speaker 17: this is the party. So whoever is the Democrats nominee
32:35
Speaker 17: in twenty twenty eight, even if it's a let's call
32:37
Speaker 17: it a consensus candidate, like a Gavin Newsom, someone who
32:40
Speaker 17: kind of straddles the fence between the establishment and the socialists.
32:44
Speaker 17: He's gonna throw a lot of bones to the socials
32:46
Speaker 17: and a bare minimum again, you're gonna You're gonna get
32:48
Speaker 17: people like Kamala Harris, like Gavenusm who are throwing out there. Ah,
32:52
Speaker 17: Let's have the conversation about abolishing the USL Let's have
32:55
Speaker 17: a conversation about abolishing Let's have a conversation about like
32:59
Speaker 17: a seventy eighty nine ers and punitive taxation rates or
33:02
Speaker 17: the free healthcare of this that the conversation is just
33:07
Speaker 17: totally shifting in real time, and the Overton window is
33:10
Speaker 17: shifting as well. So can I guarantee you that the
33:12
Speaker 17: presidential nominee will literally call for seizing the means of
33:16
Speaker 17: production and all these other various Marxist nostrums from the
33:20
Speaker 17: from the nineteenth century, these rue nations of this ideology
33:24
Speaker 17: that have resulted in the highest death count in human
33:28
Speaker 17: kind history, which is what communism is is esimate death
33:30
Speaker 17: counts one hundred million or more. So I can I
33:33
Speaker 17: guarantee you that the DNC platform into twenty twenty eight
33:36
Speaker 17: will exactly mirror the Communist manifesto. No, but I think
33:39
Speaker 17: it's going to look quite a bit different already than
33:41
Speaker 17: the twenty twenty four platform, which frankly was a ready
33:43
Speaker 17: pretty radical relative to the year four of that. If
33:45
Speaker 17: it's going in one direction, rida and it's not getting
33:47
Speaker 17: a pretty as the point.
33:50
Speaker 2: Now, let's talk about the bombshell election integrity revelations. Newly
33:55
Speaker 2: declassified intelligence documents revealed China had quiet or attempted to
34:01
Speaker 2: arquive voter registration information for as many as two hundred
34:06
Speaker 2: and twenty million Americans. Josh President Trump said that individuals
34:11
Speaker 2: within intelligence agencies work to actively suppress and downplay information
34:16
Speaker 2: about the extent of China's cybersecurity attacks. Why would they
34:21
Speaker 2: do that? Why would do they do that instead of
34:24
Speaker 2: raising the alarm at the highest levels?
34:27
Speaker 17: Well, I think the simple suspanation reader is that the
34:30
Speaker 17: deep state is very real, and in some cases it's
34:32
Speaker 17: actually not particularly deep. In this case, it probably is
34:35
Speaker 17: the shallow or kind of shallow adjacent or at least
34:38
Speaker 17: the mid the mid state, you might call it. And
34:41
Speaker 17: that's to say that the rot runs really deep. There
34:44
Speaker 17: are a lot of people all around Donald Trump who
34:46
Speaker 17: are vipers. By the way, this is more a problem
34:48
Speaker 17: in the first term. In this second term, it's been
34:50
Speaker 17: a little different. They're definitely running a tighter ship in
34:53
Speaker 17: this respect this time around. Not perfect by the way.
34:55
Speaker 17: It definitely haves some ourllyers, but it's overall it's a
34:57
Speaker 17: lot better than some around than it was the first
34:59
Speaker 17: hime a round. But when Trump came in that first
35:01
Speaker 17: time around, in particular, he was the He was the outside.
35:04
Speaker 17: He was the quintessential outsider. He had no establishment's machinery,
35:09
Speaker 17: no people around him there, so he was necessarily reliant
35:11
Speaker 17: upon the levers of power of the rn C, of
35:14
Speaker 17: supporting outside groups, the think tanks, the super PACs that
35:16
Speaker 17: are there, and a lot of people got into at
35:19
Speaker 17: times fairly senior levels who should not have been there.
35:22
Speaker 17: We saw this with James Combe and Rod Rosenstein and
35:25
Speaker 17: AA and all throughout the d O J perhaps in
35:28
Speaker 17: particular that was the whole rush Gay collusion, and yeah,
35:30
Speaker 17: a lot of fuel got in here apparently. This is
35:32
Speaker 17: one of the many things that he revealed to the
35:34
Speaker 17: nation in the primetime address this past Thursday. For me
35:36
Speaker 17: read it personally one of the biggest opening parts of
35:39
Speaker 17: this address that this past this past week to me
35:42
Speaker 17: was that there are hundreds at least two to three
35:44
Speaker 17: hundred thousand illegal aliens currently on voter rolls in America.
35:48
Speaker 17: That is absolutely positively astonishing every single illegal alien who
35:53
Speaker 17: casts a vote to in the United States, that is
35:55
Speaker 17: a that is a normal American citizen whose vote is
35:58
Speaker 17: being canceled.
36:00
Speaker 16: That's how I view it.
36:00
Speaker 17: I view it basically as a zero sum game. And
36:03
Speaker 17: ultimately the purpose of this address was to galvanize. It
36:07
Speaker 17: was really attended for an audience one person of Volver.
36:09
Speaker 17: It was really intended for an audience of John fun
36:11
Speaker 17: who's the majority leader in the US Senate. For Republicans,
36:13
Speaker 17: it's really trying to get John Fune off of his
36:15
Speaker 17: lazy but to try to actually pass the Safe America
36:18
Speaker 17: Act Once and for All, which is Donald Trump's number
36:20
Speaker 17: one legislatey of initiative. It is a bill that would really,
36:23
Speaker 17: above all, do two things. One, it would have universal
36:26
Speaker 17: voter ID requirements. Two is that it would require proof
36:29
Speaker 17: of citizenship to actually register to vote in election. Neither
36:32
Speaker 17: of these are fifty fifty to fifty issues. They're closer
36:34
Speaker 17: to two to one issues, at least in favor of Republicans.
36:38
Speaker 17: Democrats say that it's racist, it's xenophob because this is
36:41
Speaker 17: that they are. Frankly, I think that's just really it's crazy,
36:44
Speaker 17: it's insulting, frankly, to black voters. It's really what it is,
36:46
Speaker 17: that's arguing that they're too stupid to get a voter
36:50
Speaker 17: idea itself, which is just it's racist. It's literally a
36:53
Speaker 17: racist argument. So I don't know whether John Fune will
36:56
Speaker 17: be motivated enough to actually act read aboute I do
36:58
Speaker 17: know is that the more has revealed I think the
37:01
Speaker 17: ads Bill hir and for that I am grateful for
37:03
Speaker 17: this past addressed.
37:04
Speaker 1: This past week.
37:04
Speaker 2: Now, before you go, I've got to ask you about
37:07
Speaker 2: this headline news around Australia over the weekend about this
37:13
Speaker 2: man who had overstayed his visa being arrested at the airport.
37:18
Speaker 2: It was presented in the most sensationless manner, ice agents
37:23
Speaker 2: violently detaining this fifty seven year old character called Funwan,
37:30
Speaker 2: who was handcuffed by plane clothes offices as he yelled
37:34
Speaker 2: let me go, let's have a look. I now, Josh.
37:47
Speaker 2: Buried deep in the stories around this arrest was the
37:50
Speaker 2: fact that this character was in the US illegally. In fact,
37:55
Speaker 2: his visa ran out more than a decade ago.
38:00
Speaker 16: Yeah, funny how that works, right.
38:01
Speaker 17: This is a classic thing that that the media do
38:04
Speaker 17: in general, is the very details of of this nature.
38:08
Speaker 17: Listen Ice oftentimes is prioritizing people just like this, people
38:12
Speaker 17: who's who's visa spartal on talking about people who who
38:14
Speaker 17: are sex traffickers, who who are who have done terrible,
38:17
Speaker 17: terrible deats. And by the way, it's not just the
38:19
Speaker 17: media that's burying in this read, it's also a lot
38:21
Speaker 17: of the democratic establishment that's trying not just to bury it,
38:24
Speaker 17: but oftentimes trying just to pardon them. So, for instance,
38:27
Speaker 17: actually you had a had he had a horrific, horrific
38:29
Speaker 17: situation in Minnesota, in Tim Wallas's state, where Mark Rubio
38:33
Speaker 17: or Psycota State came in over the top of Tim Walls.
38:36
Speaker 17: Tim Walls was trying to issue a pardon to a
38:39
Speaker 17: to a man I believe he was from Laos actually
38:41
Speaker 17: in Southeast Asia, who had assaulted and or possibly raped
38:45
Speaker 17: a camera and the exact he details it, but he
38:46
Speaker 17: committed horrific sexual crimes against a minor girl years and
38:49
Speaker 17: years ago. Tim Walls was trying to shield this individual
38:52
Speaker 17: from deportation. Mark Rubiak from at the top and said, no, no, no, no,
38:56
Speaker 17: not going to happen this guy. Get him the heck
38:58
Speaker 17: added here, so he is on his way out out
39:00
Speaker 17: of the AGA. If I'm not mistaken there here Look,
39:02
Speaker 17: I mean, people see this video. They see a guy
39:05
Speaker 17: crying and whimpering, and immediately the human heart stirs and says, oh,
39:09
Speaker 17: what's going on here? I don't like the way this
39:11
Speaker 17: looks there, But you know, do a little reading, like
39:13
Speaker 17: like actually read a little bit, like get into the facts.
39:16
Speaker 17: Usually there's a lot more there that meets the eye.
39:18
Speaker 17: I am a staunch defender of this administration's ice policy.
39:21
Speaker 3: Read it.
39:22
Speaker 17: I frankly, I think if anything is actually not going
39:23
Speaker 17: hard enough, fast enough. And by the way, I think
39:25
Speaker 17: that the immigration on Jenna continues to be a politically
39:28
Speaker 17: winning issue Republicans. There are a lot of Pannikins who
39:30
Speaker 17: are freaking out on this issue, saying, oh my god,
39:33
Speaker 17: Republicans are going to lose all their interronts with Hispanic voters.
39:36
Speaker 16: I don't buy it for a second.
39:37
Speaker 17: Hispanic voters came over to the Republican Party during the
39:41
Speaker 17: era of Trump. They came because of Trump, not in
39:44
Speaker 17: spite of him. So I think they want more of
39:46
Speaker 17: that as do I.
39:46
Speaker 3: For them matter.
39:48
Speaker 2: Josh Hammah, thank you so much for your time.
39:51
Speaker 16: Thank you reader, appreciate it.
39:52
Speaker 2: Still to come all the latest in royal and entertainment news,
39:56
Speaker 2: including Sunny Houston pulling the privileged card after her son
40:00
Speaker 2: is arrested. Kinsey's Schofield is up next. Welcome back now
40:17
Speaker 2: the views. Sunny Houston celebrated the law fair against President Trump.
40:22
Speaker 2: The clearly politically motivated prosecutions were to her a sign
40:26
Speaker 2: that no one is above the law. It's a celebrated
40:30
Speaker 2: the law and how it applies.
40:31
Speaker 7: To all of us.
40:33
Speaker 2: But it seems when it's her son arrested, then some
40:36
Speaker 2: people are above the law, especially if they went to
40:39
Speaker 2: Harvard or their mummy was once a prosecutor.
40:43
Speaker 4: Back for a second, what's going on, persecutor?
40:48
Speaker 8: Are you are you arresting?
40:53
Speaker 7: Well, you know you have cameras everywhere. Normally it's a
40:57
Speaker 7: misdemir Chorge, we're ley.
41:01
Speaker 2: I know you're upset.
41:02
Speaker 5: I'm a former federal prosecutor. He knows or he's a
41:05
Speaker 5: Harvard grad, he teaches.
41:06
Speaker 4: Fourth grade geon if she just kids buff, it's not
41:09
Speaker 4: a kid.
41:09
Speaker 2: Who's eparent trouble joining me now is host of the
41:14
Speaker 2: Kinsey Schofield Unfiltered podcast. Kinsey, this was a minor offense,
41:20
Speaker 2: but that didn't stop Sonny pulling out the Harvard card.
41:25
Speaker 2: All of rather privileged.
41:26
Speaker 14: If you ask me, yeah, the Harvard card isn't a
41:30
Speaker 14: get out of jail free card. It's exactly the kind
41:33
Speaker 14: of privilege or the elite that Sonny claims to oppose.
41:37
Speaker 14: This wasn't just about a trespassing stop. It was about
41:42
Speaker 14: the entitlement. Sonny has spent years telling America that no
41:45
Speaker 14: one is above the law, but suddenly her son's Harvard
41:48
Speaker 14: education becomes a character reference. Harvard isn't a diplomatic immunity.
41:53
Speaker 14: If we're going to celebrate equal justice, it has to
41:56
Speaker 14: apply when it's inconvenient too, Kinsey.
42:00
Speaker 2: Let's talk World Cup. Spain are World Cup champions. They
42:04
Speaker 2: beat Argentina one nil, and some of the globe's biggest
42:08
Speaker 2: stars were there for the pre match and halftime entertainment.
42:11
Speaker 2: Let's look at the pre match first. It was headlined
42:14
Speaker 2: by Post Malone, Robbie Williams, Kinsey. Even actor Tom Cruise
42:18
Speaker 2: made an appearance.
42:21
Speaker 14: That's right, I mean, this is why the World Cup
42:24
Speaker 14: is unlike anything else. FIFA always brings in a global superstar,
42:28
Speaker 14: and this year I think my highlight was Timothy Charalamaye
42:31
Speaker 14: carrying the official match ball onto the pitch. It's theatrical,
42:35
Speaker 14: it's glamorous, and it immediately tells you you're watching the
42:38
Speaker 14: biggest game in the world, not just another championship.
42:41
Speaker 2: Now, Kinsey, the much anticipated halftime show featured massive names.
42:46
Speaker 2: We had Justin Bieber there, Madonna, Shakira. Let's have a
42:50
Speaker 2: look at Madonna. She was on stage with a couple
42:53
Speaker 2: of Brazilian football legends. Did everybody get up and what
43:04
Speaker 2: was the standout performance for you? Kinsey? And did anybody
43:08
Speaker 2: miss the mark? I have heard mixed reports from some commentators.
43:12
Speaker 2: How did you see it?
43:14
Speaker 14: Honestly, look, when I watched this, I thought the World
43:17
Speaker 14: Cup halftime show was better than any NFL halftime show
43:21
Speaker 14: I've probably seen it in ten years, and going forward,
43:25
Speaker 14: I think that the Muppets should be a mandatory requirement
43:28
Speaker 14: for World Cup halftime shows.
43:30
Speaker 16: But they were adorable.
43:31
Speaker 14: Coldplay was very clever about touching on so many different genres,
43:35
Speaker 14: so if you were watching as a family, it felt
43:37
Speaker 14: like there was genuinely something for everyone. I loved the
43:41
Speaker 14: Ted Lasso cameo before Justin Bieber, and the whole thing
43:44
Speaker 14: just felt sweet, joyful and family oriented. I really hope
43:49
Speaker 14: Jay Z, who was there, who oversees the NFL's halftime shows,
43:53
Speaker 14: was taking notes, because apparently you can entertain an entire
43:57
Speaker 14: family without trying to shock half of them.
44:00
Speaker 2: We know now. Comedian Ricky Gervais has rejected calls for
44:05
Speaker 2: him to tone down his comedy and is refusing to
44:09
Speaker 2: apologize if people are offended by his work. Let's have
44:12
Speaker 2: a listen to this interview.
44:14
Speaker 3: They're always telling people to not be offended, but is
44:17
Speaker 3: there anything that you've secretly been offended by?
44:19
Speaker 4: That's from Sarah shruption.
44:20
Speaker 18: I'm offended all the time. I don't tell people not
44:22
Speaker 18: to be offended. I tell them I don't care if
44:24
Speaker 18: they are right. Be offended if you want. Yeah, it
44:27
Speaker 18: makes it funnier for me, and you can't help. You
44:30
Speaker 18: can't out what you're offended by. But don't expect me
44:33
Speaker 18: to care, is what I say. It's a myth that
44:36
Speaker 18: I go out to offend. I never go out to offend.
44:38
Speaker 18: I just know that it's probably going to happen because
44:40
Speaker 18: everyone's different. There's nothing you can say, particularly anything that's
44:44
Speaker 18: mildly interesting or contentious or your viewpoint that someone somewhere
44:50
Speaker 18: won't find offensive. And times have changed. Twenty years ago,
44:52
Speaker 18: if someone said I was offended by that, I probably
44:54
Speaker 18: would go why Now I go, Yeah, I know you are,
44:58
Speaker 18: I know everyone is.
45:00
Speaker 2: He also said he is just done with cancel culture.
45:03
Speaker 2: He is not entertaining it anymore.
45:07
Speaker 7: I mean, good for Ricky Jervis.
45:08
Speaker 14: Comedy isn't supposed to come with a warning label. The
45:10
Speaker 14: audience decides what's funny by buying tickets or staying home.
45:14
Speaker 14: That's so much healthier system than a handful of activists
45:17
Speaker 14: trying to decide what the rest of us are allowed
45:19
Speaker 14: to laugh at.
45:20
Speaker 2: We need more Ricky Gerves.
45:24
Speaker 7: We do.
45:25
Speaker 2: I mean, he is one of the very best in
45:27
Speaker 2: the business. Absolutely, his stand up work is astonishing. Another
45:32
Speaker 2: one whose stand up work is right up there is
45:35
Speaker 2: Shane Gillis, and he's officially broken the Guinness World Record
45:39
Speaker 2: for the most tickets sold by a solo comedian. He's
45:42
Speaker 2: sold more than seventy six thousand tickets that many fans
45:48
Speaker 2: poured into the Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia at once
45:52
Speaker 2: to attend his comedy show Kinsey. Dave Chappelle made an appearance,
45:56
Speaker 2: and I do wonder if Chelsea Handler is watching on
46:01
Speaker 2: because she's recently had a clash with him, and he
46:05
Speaker 2: can't doubt his popularity. He's funny and people are just
46:09
Speaker 2: crying out for comics who make them laugh. You don't
46:11
Speaker 2: lecture them, that's right.
46:14
Speaker 14: Yeah, Chelsea Adler might have a couple of celebrity friends.
46:17
Speaker 14: But Shane Gillis has seventy six thousand people buying tickets
46:21
Speaker 14: to his shows. That's a much louder endorsement. The attendance
46:25
Speaker 14: record tells you everything you need to know. For years,
46:28
Speaker 14: Hollywood insisted audiences wanted sanitize politically correct comedy. Shane Gillis,
46:33
Speaker 14: you know, talk about cancel culture was canceled for a
46:37
Speaker 14: very brief period. Meanwhile, he's filling now today a football stadium.
46:43
Speaker 14: It turns out regular people still enjoy comedians who aren't
46:46
Speaker 14: afraid to tell jokes.
46:49
Speaker 2: Absolutely is so right. He was canceled, He was sacked
46:51
Speaker 2: from Saturday Night Live. Wasn't he from something he had
46:54
Speaker 2: said years earlier? And that whole cancel culture took hold
46:58
Speaker 2: and people thought, well, that's it. His career was pretty
47:01
Speaker 2: much over before it started. But here he is. And
47:04
Speaker 2: one of the things he does best is his Donald
47:07
Speaker 2: Trump impersonation. I still say his is the best one
47:10
Speaker 2: there is, and everyone's got a Donald Trump impersonation. Now
47:14
Speaker 2: let's talk about Harry and Meghan. There's been reports that
47:17
Speaker 2: a possible return to the UK may be on the cards.
47:21
Speaker 2: One inside I told the Daily Mail there is definitely
47:24
Speaker 2: a feeling in his camp that he has started to
47:27
Speaker 2: feel a bit of unwelcome in America. I am told
47:31
Speaker 2: this is coming from Meghan as well as him. I
47:34
Speaker 2: hear that Meghan is awful rekindling with the and reconnecting
47:39
Speaker 2: with Harry's English side. She is fully behind it. Oh kinsy,
47:45
Speaker 2: can you see this happening? I were going to see
47:47
Speaker 2: the prodigal son and his American wife moving back into
47:50
Speaker 2: the palace.
47:53
Speaker 14: I don't think Buckingham Palace is preparing the guest room
47:55
Speaker 14: just yet. Trust doesn't rebuilt with anonymous briefings to news
48:00
Speaker 14: like the one we just read. It's rebuilt quietly over time,
48:04
Speaker 14: and Harry still has a long way to go. But
48:06
Speaker 14: reality bites America didn't crown Harry and Meghan the Royalty
48:10
Speaker 14: of Hollywood the way they expected that is true. Britain
48:14
Speaker 14: is still where Harry's identity, history and relevance are rooted.
48:19
Speaker 14: I just don't think he deserves a second chance, and
48:23
Speaker 14: based on spending time there, I don't think the British
48:26
Speaker 14: public has any desire to give him that second chance.
48:29
Speaker 14: They are They're as fed up as the Americans are
48:32
Speaker 14: with him and Megan's antics.
48:35
Speaker 2: They are probably more fed up because they're far more
48:38
Speaker 2: engaged in this story than the Americans ever were. I
48:42
Speaker 2: think the Americans just looked at them as a couple
48:44
Speaker 2: more celebrities. But in the UK there's deep feeling and
48:49
Speaker 2: deep resentment Kinsey about the way they have behaved, the
48:53
Speaker 2: way that they made the queen's final years really a hell.
48:58
Speaker 2: She had a family dirty laundry being aired with Oprah
49:03
Speaker 2: and on reality.
49:04
Speaker 14: Shows, right, and that's currently what the King is dealing
49:10
Speaker 14: with and navigating too. I mean, I think that there
49:13
Speaker 14: is a fear that if they don't give Harry and
49:16
Speaker 14: Meghan what they want, that Harry and Meghan will push
49:19
Speaker 14: it even further. I mean, at least that's what I'm
49:21
Speaker 14: telling myself to justify the meeting between the King and
49:24
Speaker 14: the grusome tuisome, because otherwise I'm very disappointed in the
49:28
Speaker 14: idea of it.
49:30
Speaker 2: Kinsey Schofield, thank you so much for your time tonight,
49:33
Speaker 2: and that's all the time we have. Don't go anywhere.
49:36
Speaker 2: Newsnight is up next
