Speaker 1: On scoring leaves Ostrodia.
0:04
Speaker 2: This is the Wader Paney Show.
0:09
Speaker 3: Good evening and welcome to the Riata Panehy Show.
0:12
Speaker 4: Coming up tonight, Eddie McGuire joins the chorus of voices
0:15
Speaker 4: calling for dramatic reform to save Melbourne's crime riddles CBD
0:20
Speaker 4: Adam Criton will join me to discuss today's top headlines.
0:23
Speaker 4: The coalitioning in fighting continues over net zero. James Willis
0:28
Speaker 4: will have more on that. Shortly, Josh Hammer will have
0:31
Speaker 4: the latest from the US, including Arnold Schwarzenegger slapping down
0:35
Speaker 4: CNN's Jake Tapper, and later in.
0:38
Speaker 3: The hour, Gabriella Power.
0:40
Speaker 4: Will join me and we'll be discussing everything from Trump's
0:44
Speaker 4: latest dance moves to Megan Markle's staffing woes, and we
0:48
Speaker 4: never forget Left is losing.
0:50
Speaker 5: It to wait, just waite. People in general, I'm tired
0:53
Speaker 5: of your mother, I'm tired of your incompetence, I'm tired
0:57
Speaker 5: of your laziness.
0:58
Speaker 4: But first, let's start with the coalitions Net zero infighting.
1:02
Speaker 4: Let's bring in Daily Telegraph journalists James Willis.
1:06
Speaker 3: James, you've reported today that the.
1:08
Speaker 4: Coalition won't be announcing a new position anytime soon. Why
1:14
Speaker 4: Why is the party leadership resisting calls from an increasing
1:18
Speaker 4: number of MPs to abandon net zero.
1:22
Speaker 6: Well, ready, they've got a problem because the reality is
1:25
Speaker 6: that inside the party room, particularly the Liberal party room,
1:29
Speaker 6: there are a lot of people that think dumping net
1:31
Speaker 6: zero would be political suicide. They've obviously got the business
1:36
Speaker 6: community now and a lot of ASX companies that have
1:40
Speaker 6: climate change policies and are determined to have their own
1:44
Speaker 6: carbon neutral footprints and all that sort of thing, so
1:46
Speaker 6: they don't want to be annoying part of their sector.
1:49
Speaker 6: And you've got this sort of internal struggle where the
1:53
Speaker 6: moderates of the Liberal Party insists that the only way
1:56
Speaker 6: to win back government is to have a similar climate
2:00
Speaker 6: to what labor has and to what the deals have,
2:03
Speaker 6: and to be overwhelmingly in favor of, you know, mass
2:07
Speaker 6: cuts to emissions and all that sort of thing. You've
2:09
Speaker 6: got others that say, well, I'm sorry, but in two
2:11
Speaker 6: straight elections, after backing net zero in twenty twenty, after
2:15
Speaker 6: going to with the net zero policy to the twenty
2:17
Speaker 6: twenty two election, and this year that net zero hasn't
2:20
Speaker 6: served us. We've lost dozens of seats and it's now
2:23
Speaker 6: time for a logical point of difference. So you've got
2:26
Speaker 6: a lot of warring tribes there, and I think Dan
2:29
Speaker 6: Te and the shadow Energy Minister, and indeed Susan Lee
2:32
Speaker 6: are going to hear from everyone understand the role of gas,
2:35
Speaker 6: understand the role of nuclear power, and figure out what
2:38
Speaker 6: is their point of difference. But for the time being
2:41
Speaker 6: is going to be infighting for I think weeks to
2:43
Speaker 6: come in more MPs that have their own stance, which
2:46
Speaker 6: will be at odds with what they're trying to do.
2:49
Speaker 3: Well.
2:50
Speaker 4: Their primary vote is at record lows, the lowest since
2:54
Speaker 4: newspol measured primary votes. I'm sure that for further if
2:59
Speaker 4: this is the road they got to go down, If
3:00
Speaker 4: they don't know where they stand on such a critical issue,
3:04
Speaker 4: if they can't differentiate from labor, what hope do they
3:08
Speaker 4: have of being elected, particularly during a cost of living
3:11
Speaker 4: crisis where energy costs soaring? James, could this see a
3:16
Speaker 4: split with the Nationals down the line, because again the
3:20
Speaker 4: National Party has also got this in fighting happening. And
3:25
Speaker 4: if I was a betting woman, I would bet that
3:28
Speaker 4: they will abandon net zero before.
3:30
Speaker 3: The Libers do.
3:33
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think that's a really interesting point and to
3:35
Speaker 6: be honest, both leaders are on very very shaky ground
3:39
Speaker 6: because you have to remember Giselle Capterian is no longer
3:43
Speaker 6: in parliament. She lost the seat of Bradfield in Sydney.
3:46
Speaker 6: So Susan Lee is on a wayfer Finn margin. When
3:49
Speaker 6: you work backwards from the last leadership challenge against Angus Taylor,
3:54
Speaker 6: David Little Proud isn't all that solid either, and Barnaby
3:57
Speaker 6: Joyce has obviously not going to take part in the
3:59
Speaker 6: Nationals partyom many more, David Little Proud is under enormous
4:02
Speaker 6: pressure to decide what to do with net zero, But
4:06
Speaker 6: I'm with you. I think they've got to have a
4:08
Speaker 6: point of difference and they've got to be able to
4:10
Speaker 6: argue the economics that surrounds our position towards twenty fifty.
4:15
Speaker 6: I think people are convinced that if you don't back
4:17
Speaker 6: net zero, you don't believe in climate change, and that's
4:20
Speaker 6: not the case. You can argue the cost, you can
4:22
Speaker 6: argue Australia's contribution, and you can argue how much damage
4:26
Speaker 6: we should be doing to our economy and our farming
4:28
Speaker 6: land to get there. And there is a huge bit
4:31
Speaker 6: of ammunition there that they should be throwing at Labor instead.
4:34
Speaker 6: They're timid and they've really got no idea what they're doing,
4:37
Speaker 6: and they need to find that point of difference urgently
4:39
Speaker 6: so they can start selling that message to the electric
4:42
Speaker 6: The problem with nuclear is they really by the time
4:45
Speaker 6: they announce their policy with nuclear, the other side had
4:49
Speaker 6: been talking about costs, talking about the impact to government
4:53
Speaker 6: services and talking about you know that the scare campaign
4:56
Speaker 6: was in place. They've got to start arguing their point
4:58
Speaker 6: of difference now, I think by the end of the
4:59
Speaker 6: year to have any chance of forming government by the
5:02
Speaker 6: next election, but I think it's a mile off.
5:04
Speaker 3: In fairness, oh.
5:05
Speaker 4: It's a mile off, and they have to do the work.
5:08
Speaker 4: They can't wait a few months before the next election
5:11
Speaker 4: to state a policy position.
5:13
Speaker 3: It's just not going to work.
5:15
Speaker 4: They need to articulate their arguments and explain to the
5:18
Speaker 4: Australian people why their way makes sense.
5:21
Speaker 3: And they didn't do that with nuclear.
5:23
Speaker 4: In fact, they were running scared from nuclear throughout the
5:26
Speaker 4: election campaign. Is one of the few points of difference
5:29
Speaker 4: between Labor and the Coalition and they barely spoke about it.
5:32
Speaker 3: Now.
5:33
Speaker 4: You reported last week that the federal opposition has called
5:36
Speaker 4: for a review into the two point six billion dollars
5:39
Speaker 4: solar farm in South Australia after it was declared a
5:42
Speaker 4: national priority and received backing by a Labour's Capacity Investment scheme,
5:47
Speaker 4: but it then outsourced work to two companies owned by
5:52
Speaker 4: the Chinese government by the Chinese Communist Party. James, what
5:55
Speaker 4: more can you tell me about this arrangement and the
5:59
Speaker 4: hidden costs of Labour's renewable schemes. The fifty nine secret
6:05
Speaker 4: floor and ceiling deals signed with the owners of wind
6:09
Speaker 4: solar and battery developments.
6:12
Speaker 6: Well, reader, I think this is a scandal because, as
6:15
Speaker 6: you say, fifty nine projects, wind solar, battery, the government
6:20
Speaker 6: has basically done deals of up to fifteen years with
6:24
Speaker 6: these developers, the majority, the overwhelming majority of foreign owned,
6:27
Speaker 6: and those deals basically allow taxpayers to fund any losses
6:33
Speaker 6: below the revenue floor that has agreed to before the
6:36
Speaker 6: project is built for quarters up to fifteen years in length.
6:39
Speaker 6: Now we have no idea how much all of this
6:42
Speaker 6: is going to cost. You start to realize that this
6:44
Speaker 6: is the only way really that these projects can be
6:47
Speaker 6: built if they are underwritten by taxpayers, and as we know,
6:51
Speaker 6: Labor is going aggressively towards a twenty thirty target. They're
6:54
Speaker 6: at twenty thirty five target. The only way to do
6:57
Speaker 6: that is to build these projects quickly. And it's Gael
7:00
Speaker 6: and the impact on farming land. We've heard stories from
7:02
Speaker 6: all over regional Australia about the impact on farming land.
7:06
Speaker 6: But when you look at the list and you start
7:08
Speaker 6: to see who is actually going to make money from
7:11
Speaker 6: these fifty nine schemes, you see a Malaysian oil giants.
7:14
Speaker 6: You see a company that is owned by BP, one
7:17
Speaker 6: of the biggest emitters on the planet. You see Canadian
7:20
Speaker 6: superannuation funds. Everyone has figured out there is money to
7:23
Speaker 6: be made in this scheme, so they've just flooded in
7:26
Speaker 6: at record pace. And then there's one which is this
7:29
Speaker 6: company that is literally run by a husband and wife
7:32
Speaker 6: that started two years ago, that have an office in
7:35
Speaker 6: Sydney that is not an office, it's just a mail room.
7:37
Speaker 6: There's no sign on the door. They've been declared a
7:40
Speaker 6: priority and they have been given Capacity Investment Scheme support
7:44
Speaker 6: and in the first couple of months after signing this deal,
7:48
Speaker 6: they have outsourced technical support and the supply of batteries
7:53
Speaker 6: from companies that are owned by the Chinese government. Now
7:57
Speaker 6: they are Chinese government companies that have been linked to
8:00
Speaker 6: the Belton Road initiative, which was four years ago what
8:03
Speaker 6: Dan Andrews tried to sign Victoria up to, and the
8:06
Speaker 6: Australian government said, this is not in our national interest
8:09
Speaker 6: for Chinese government owned companies to be building infrastructure projects
8:13
Speaker 6: for a range of reasons. But the government is saying,
8:16
Speaker 6: the Albanezy government is saying that in this case, if
8:18
Speaker 6: you're an Australian company, even if you're just a mom
8:21
Speaker 6: and dad and you subcontract work to the Chinese government,
8:24
Speaker 6: that's actually okay and there's no national security risk there.
8:28
Speaker 6: Now I would disagree with that. I think this requires
8:30
Speaker 6: a review. The opposition agrees, But you have to imagine
8:34
Speaker 6: there's all sorts of secrecy around this reader. We don't
8:37
Speaker 6: know how much any of this is costing us, and
8:39
Speaker 6: when you have fifty nine secret contracts, it's the kind
8:42
Speaker 6: of thing that one day will be worthy of a
8:45
Speaker 6: Royal Commission, depending on where things actually end up, because
8:48
Speaker 6: we're entitled to know the cost, and we're entitled to
8:51
Speaker 6: know who is making money, how much, and how quickly
8:55
Speaker 6: these things are being built. The fact that we don't
8:57
Speaker 6: I think is a scandal.
9:00
Speaker 4: Absolute scandal, particularly when there's public money involved and taxpayer
9:04
Speaker 4: funds underpin a lot of what's happening in the renewable space.
9:09
Speaker 4: And I think you've just explained why some of those
9:11
Speaker 4: big corporates don't want the coalition to abandon it's zero
9:14
Speaker 4: because they can see a lot of dollars guarantee, taxpaid dollars.
9:18
Speaker 3: Going into their coppers.
9:20
Speaker 4: James Willis, thank you so much for your time.
9:22
Speaker 3: Tonight, Thanks Reda, thanks for having me. Now.
9:25
Speaker 4: Eddie McGuire has said Melbourne may need a Los Angeles
9:28
Speaker 4: style crime crackdown to make the CBD safe again. Maguire
9:32
Speaker 4: says the recent disruptions in the CBD have been discouraging
9:35
Speaker 4: people from visiting during the day.
9:37
Speaker 7: Now.
9:38
Speaker 3: McGuire's coments come just hours.
9:40
Speaker 4: After his beloved suburb of broad Meadows, where he grew up.
9:43
Speaker 3: So it's a.
9:43
Speaker 4: Third instance of violent knife crime in just four days,
9:47
Speaker 4: with a nineteen year old boy found with stab wounds
9:50
Speaker 4: after a group of men wielding machetes worth fighting and
9:54
Speaker 4: fleeing the scene. Joining me now for more on this
9:56
Speaker 4: is Chief Economists at the Institute of Public Affairs, Adam Crichton, Adam,
10:01
Speaker 4: you're a new resident to Melbourne. What are your perceptions
10:05
Speaker 4: of the CBD. Can it be turned around?
10:08
Speaker 2: Well, look, I think it can be turned around.
10:09
Speaker 8: But it's a great thing that serious Melbourne personalities like
10:12
Speaker 8: Eddie McGuire finally are speaking out and hopefully that does
10:15
Speaker 8: prompt the government to change its stance on crime. I mean,
10:18
Speaker 8: you know, the statistics are true, crime has been increasing,
10:21
Speaker 8: but it's also a perception thing, just like he was
10:22
Speaker 8: talking about, and it's the reputation of Melbourne I think,
10:25
Speaker 8: both domestically and internationally has just been taking a massive
10:28
Speaker 8: beating in the last few months, especially and frankly since
10:32
Speaker 8: COVID for various reasons. Yes, as we've discussed, and you know,
10:34
Speaker 8: I think that this really matters as a resident, as
10:36
Speaker 8: someone who's recently bought property here, and that would include
10:39
Speaker 8: tens of thousands of people. You know, you want your
10:41
Speaker 8: city to have a good reputation and currently it does not.
10:44
Speaker 3: It does, but I think it's entirely deserved.
10:46
Speaker 4: I don't think it is a perception issue. I don't
10:49
Speaker 4: think it's a reality issue. Victoria's got a record breaking
10:53
Speaker 4: crime wave right now, so that's not in contention.
10:57
Speaker 3: And I'm in Sydney every week.
11:00
Speaker 4: For outsiders, and so I see the Sydney CBD during
11:04
Speaker 4: the weekend and it is thriving.
11:06
Speaker 3: There's people everywhere, the restaurants are full. It is so
11:09
Speaker 3: different to the Melbourne CBD.
11:11
Speaker 4: If there's not a major event happening, it's it's dead,
11:14
Speaker 4: it's scary, it's depressing.
11:16
Speaker 2: That's true. Yeah, it's my perception to especially living in
11:19
Speaker 2: South Bank. There's always high rise towers. But where are
11:20
Speaker 2: the peoples? Where are the weeople on the weekend?
11:23
Speaker 4: Oh gosh now, says Knox City Council in the New
11:27
Speaker 4: South Wales Hunter region has come under fire for its
11:30
Speaker 4: lethargic response to complaints about a homeless encampment set up
11:34
Speaker 4: in the town's main street. Residents have been complaining about
11:38
Speaker 4: the encampment for weeks. They say it has transformed a
11:41
Speaker 4: one save recreation area into a hot spot for open
11:46
Speaker 4: air drug use, sex acts and aggressive behavior, deterring families
11:50
Speaker 4: from visiting. The council has only now taken action, ordering
11:54
Speaker 4: the occupants to clear off the site by earlier today.
11:59
Speaker 4: And it's only come a bad adam because this video
12:02
Speaker 4: that has been posted online went viral, just showing how
12:06
Speaker 4: bad the situation is, and so often now authorities only
12:09
Speaker 4: act when vision like this goes viral exactly.
12:12
Speaker 8: Look, it's one of the virtues of social media that
12:14
Speaker 8: we do find these things out. I think, you know,
12:16
Speaker 8: the general point is, I think a permissive attitude to
12:18
Speaker 8: taking drugs in public has failed internationally. I think we
12:21
Speaker 8: have to admit that, and so that is relevant here.
12:24
Speaker 8: But I think the more pertinent point is probably that
12:27
Speaker 8: rents are spiraling out of control in these regional towns
12:29
Speaker 8: and it is pushing people into homelessness, and this is
12:31
Speaker 8: because of immigration largely. I would say that is one
12:34
Speaker 8: of the key factors. I think I saw in that
12:36
Speaker 8: article that rents incestknock in four or five years are.
12:38
Speaker 2: Up thirty percent. Wow, right, I mean that's enormous.
12:40
Speaker 8: These people's incomes would not be up thirty percent in
12:43
Speaker 8: four or five years, and so some of them are
12:44
Speaker 8: going to be tipped into living on the streets. And
12:46
Speaker 8: this is what you get, and so quite understandably, people
12:48
Speaker 8: are furious. Sadly, the council doesn't have much power over that.
12:51
Speaker 8: I'd say it's a federal government ultimately, and these are
12:55
Speaker 8: just you know, the social examples, you know, the social
12:57
Speaker 8: fallout if you like, of this high immigration policy.
13:00
Speaker 4: Now Anthony Albernizi has come under five wearing this t
13:04
Speaker 4: shirt let's have a look at it, as he arrived
13:06
Speaker 4: in Sydney last Thursday following his first state visit with
13:10
Speaker 4: US President Donald Trump. Now he's fully aware that t
13:14
Speaker 4: shirt says Joy Division, which is a band, and he's
13:17
Speaker 4: fully aware of the dark meaning behind that band's name.
13:21
Speaker 4: Former Leo Burnett Australia chen Nigel Marsh told the Prime
13:26
Speaker 4: Minister during a podcast back in twenty twenty two exactly
13:30
Speaker 4: what the name of the English band Joy Division refers to?
13:35
Speaker 9: You know where the name comes from?
13:37
Speaker 10: No I joant Actually it's awful.
13:39
Speaker 9: In nineteen fifty five, a Holocaust survivor wrote a book
13:43
Speaker 9: called The House of Dolls, and it's about, you know,
13:47
Speaker 9: unfortunately the truth of the Germans. In the concentration camps
13:52
Speaker 9: had divisions of women who were forced into enslaved prostitution
13:58
Speaker 9: for the ess and that was they were cooled Joy divisions.
14:03
Speaker 3: Oh redly, Yeah.
14:04
Speaker 11: You should edit that out of the podcast just for
14:08
Speaker 11: the sake of the listeners so that they can continue
14:13
Speaker 11: to enjoy it.
14:15
Speaker 10: But it was so dark.
14:19
Speaker 4: Well, you can continue to enjoy the music of Joy Division.
14:22
Speaker 4: But what about the wisdom of wearing a T shirt
14:27
Speaker 4: that's his Joy Division.
14:28
Speaker 2: It's very strange.
14:29
Speaker 8: I mean, he obviously does know the meeting behind it.
14:31
Speaker 2: I don't.
14:32
Speaker 3: That was only twenty twenty two, so he hasn't forgotten.
14:34
Speaker 8: He certainly wouldn't have forgotten it also, But you're the
14:35
Speaker 8: more general point wearing a T shirt as you get
14:37
Speaker 8: off the plane.
14:38
Speaker 2: You're the Prime Minister of Australia. But is he cool
14:40
Speaker 2: at us a serious country? I mean, can you not
14:42
Speaker 2: wear a T shirt, especially especially one like that? Anyway, Look,
14:46
Speaker 2: I know question his judgment there. I mean, let's hope
14:48
Speaker 2: he did forget. Okay, that's very weird.
14:51
Speaker 4: I just know if it was a liberal prime minister
14:55
Speaker 4: wearing that same T shirt or another T shirt with
14:59
Speaker 4: a band name that had that sort of origin, wow,
15:02
Speaker 4: can you imagine the outrage.
15:04
Speaker 2: Well, in fact, I hadn't even heard this until.
15:09
Speaker 4: Steve Jackson in the Australian newspaper highlighted it again, because
15:14
Speaker 4: I've got to say I'm not fully across Joy Division's work,
15:17
Speaker 4: so I wasn't aware of that. But obviously the Prime
15:19
Speaker 4: Minister is a big fan. Now Argentina's president, Javier malays
15:23
Speaker 4: a libertarian party has won a big victory in national
15:28
Speaker 4: legislative elections. The results should help me lay push ahead
15:32
Speaker 4: with his radical overhaul of Argentina's long troubled economy. He's
15:37
Speaker 4: already got that work well under way, Adam, this is enormous.
15:41
Speaker 4: I mean what he has been able to achieve in
15:43
Speaker 4: a short period of time in Argentina, when again the
15:47
Speaker 4: world's media was in meltdown, he was called the Argentinian
15:51
Speaker 4: Trump and he was going to destroy the place. And
15:53
Speaker 4: he is a great admirer of Donald Trump.
15:55
Speaker 3: And he has.
15:58
Speaker 4: Slashed inflation by numbers you would not think would be
16:02
Speaker 4: possible in that time.
16:03
Speaker 8: No, the rate of inflation has gone from something like
16:04
Speaker 8: two hundred and fifty percent a year to thirty percent
16:07
Speaker 8: a year now, so huge reduction. Obviously more to go,
16:08
Speaker 8: but that's incredible result. First budget surplus. I think for
16:11
Speaker 8: decades poverty rates have actually fallen, and this result is
16:15
Speaker 8: just extraordinary. Most polls had him getting about twenty five
16:17
Speaker 8: percent of the vote. It looks like he's going to
16:19
Speaker 8: get forty one percent, his party forty percent, which is
16:22
Speaker 8: huge and the paronhas the opposition, that's the party that's
16:24
Speaker 8: been responsible for the decline of Argentina.
16:26
Speaker 2: I think they're going to get about twenty seven.
16:28
Speaker 8: So this basically means that he has more than one
16:30
Speaker 8: third of the seats in the lower House and the
16:32
Speaker 8: upper House, and that basically means he can he can
16:35
Speaker 8: press on with his reform agenda and he can't be
16:38
Speaker 8: vetoed by the legislature.
16:39
Speaker 2: So it's all good news. It's very great.
16:41
Speaker 8: He's got two more years of his presidency, of course,
16:43
Speaker 8: and now he's been inboldened by a great victory. So
16:47
Speaker 8: you know, I think the Argentina and people have said,
16:48
Speaker 8: we do not want to go back to that past.
16:50
Speaker 4: No, that socialist past, and that's what it was, and
16:53
Speaker 4: it absolutely destroyed the economy and the living standards of
16:57
Speaker 4: that country, a country that was once very prosperous. And
17:01
Speaker 4: you're going to be in Argentina in a few days,
17:03
Speaker 4: so enjoy that, Adam krist Then come back on the program.
17:07
Speaker 2: Indeed I will. Maybe from there we could do it.
17:09
Speaker 3: Oh why not? Still to come? Lefties losing ed.
17:13
Speaker 4: Plus the latest from the US, including Arnold Schwarzenegger slapping
17:17
Speaker 4: down CE and n shake Tappa, Josh Hammer joins me. Next,
17:31
Speaker 4: welcome back, and it's time for lefties losing it. And
17:35
Speaker 4: let's start in New York City, where communist Zorain Mamdani
17:38
Speaker 4: is poised to be the next mayor, and he thought
17:41
Speaker 4: it was time to really focus on the true victims
17:44
Speaker 4: of nine to eleven his family. Grab a tissue, folks,
17:48
Speaker 4: this is rather emotional.
17:50
Speaker 12: I want to use this moment to speak to the
17:52
Speaker 12: Muslims of New York City. I want to speak to
18:02
Speaker 12: the memory of my aunt who stopped taking the subway
18:11
Speaker 12: after September eleventh because she did not feel safe in
18:13
Speaker 12: her Hitdjab.
18:15
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's devastating, folks, it really is. I mean his
18:18
Speaker 4: poor aunt had to take a couple of cabs. I mean,
18:21
Speaker 4: how devastating for the Mamdani family. And that's if you
18:25
Speaker 4: believe him, and frankly I don't. After every Islamist terrorist attack,
18:30
Speaker 4: there is such a focus.
18:32
Speaker 3: On stamping at Islamophobia.
18:35
Speaker 4: Yes, the leftist propping up the Islamists will come to
18:38
Speaker 4: rue that day. Let's hear now from Zora and Mamdani
18:41
Speaker 4: in turn, are Zoo Malik, who.
18:44
Speaker 3: Is calling on Muslims to be gangster and jhad, and the.
18:48
Speaker 13: True believer knows that none of this is in vain,
18:51
Speaker 13: that this is all you had, that this is all ibada,
18:54
Speaker 13: and this is all counted for by a los pranodata.
18:58
Speaker 13: And so the conversation of dockxing, the conversation of getting
19:01
Speaker 13: arrested and suspended. I think it's time for Muslims to
19:05
Speaker 13: start to say, all right, all right, so what do
19:08
Speaker 13: what you want?
19:09
Speaker 14: I'm gonna do.
19:09
Speaker 13: I'm gonna do what I gotta do, because that's it.
19:12
Speaker 13: It's about time to do that. How gangs are you?
19:14
Speaker 13: That's just my Christian How much are you willing to
19:17
Speaker 13: do it? And I know everyone has their own risk level,
19:20
Speaker 13: but at the end of the day, that's a question
19:22
Speaker 13: to ask ourselves. How committed am I to this? How
19:26
Speaker 13: to what extent of my personal material games am I
19:30
Speaker 13: willing to sacrifice for this bigger normal cause.
19:34
Speaker 4: Let's go to another failing city, crime real Chicago, which
19:38
Speaker 4: has been ruled by Democrats for decades and decades, and
19:43
Speaker 4: where the current mayor, Brandon Johnson, is triggered by factual
19:47
Speaker 4: terms like illegal immigrant.
19:50
Speaker 14: We don't have illegal aliens. I don't know if that's
19:53
Speaker 14: from some sort of sci fi message that you wish
19:55
Speaker 14: you bad. Well, listen, the legal term for my people
19:58
Speaker 14: were slaves. You want me to use that term too,
20:01
Speaker 14: So look, let's just get the language right. We're talking
20:03
Speaker 14: about undocumented individuals that are human beings. The last thing
20:07
Speaker 14: that I'm going to do is accept the type of racist,
20:11
Speaker 14: nasty language to describe human beings.
20:14
Speaker 3: Now, let's have a little Hollywood import.
20:17
Speaker 4: Actress Jenna or Taga was asked about who her heroes
20:21
Speaker 4: were and gave this rather incoherent.
20:23
Speaker 3: Virtue signaling response, is sheare okay because you're in here today?
20:29
Speaker 7: Oh, my mum will always be a hero, but another
20:34
Speaker 7: hero of myn today, I don't know. I'm quite revitated
20:38
Speaker 7: towards the people of Palestine and the way that they
20:41
Speaker 7: speak up and you know, the way that they're continuously
20:46
Speaker 7: using their voice no matter how much the world seems
20:49
Speaker 7: to ignore them. It's very important and it's very commendable.
20:52
Speaker 7: And uh, you know, I would like to left and
20:57
Speaker 7: raiser voices as well.
20:59
Speaker 4: Natural rather generously proportioned woman who seems to think white
21:03
Speaker 4: people are lazy, dirty and violent. I can only hope
21:08
Speaker 4: this is a parody, a prank.
21:10
Speaker 3: Surely no one can be this boldly racist.
21:15
Speaker 9: To just white people in general.
21:16
Speaker 5: I'm tired of you, mother, I'm tired of your incompetence.
21:20
Speaker 5: I'm tired of your laziness. I'm tired of you not
21:22
Speaker 5: watching your egg on a regular basis, and then we
21:26
Speaker 5: have to be susceptible to that. I'm tired of you
21:30
Speaker 5: having babies. I'm tired of you're raising and birthing and
21:33
Speaker 5: raising serial killers, pedophiles, mad shooters.
21:38
Speaker 3: And all this.
21:38
Speaker 5: And then you tell black people that we're violent. Everything
21:42
Speaker 5: about violence we learned it from you, So you're the
21:47
Speaker 5: root cause of it.
21:48
Speaker 4: Now would be uncharitable of me to listen some crime
21:51
Speaker 4: statistics right about now, and some demographic breakdowns, but just.
21:56
Speaker 3: Imagine if the word black was substituted for white. They're
21:59
Speaker 3: in that crazy rant.
22:02
Speaker 1: Now.
22:02
Speaker 4: I didn't think me praising Arnold Schwarzenegger was going to
22:05
Speaker 4: be on the cards, But here we are. Twenty twenty
22:07
Speaker 4: five has been a wild year. Here is the Hollywood
22:10
Speaker 4: star and former California governor dropping a brutal fact check
22:14
Speaker 4: on CNN's Jake Tappa. Now, despite being a former Republican governor,
22:19
Speaker 4: Jake would have thought he was on safe ground. With
22:22
Speaker 4: Arnie given hes a full blown Teds case, but no
22:26
Speaker 4: Arnie surprised us all.
22:28
Speaker 3: Watch what he says.
22:29
Speaker 4: When Tapa tries to blame Republicans redistricting efforts and calls
22:34
Speaker 4: it cooking the books.
22:36
Speaker 15: This all started because of redistricting in Texas, and this
22:38
Speaker 15: was Trump pushing Republican controlled states to throw out their
22:42
Speaker 15: current congressional maps so as to cook the book so
22:46
Speaker 15: that there is less it is less likely for Democrats
22:50
Speaker 15: to retake control of the House during the next year
22:55
Speaker 15: mid terms. I mean, is it fair to argue that
22:58
Speaker 15: do you believe that the Republican Party's starting us?
23:03
Speaker 1: No, Jake, there has been cherrymandering going on for two
23:07
Speaker 1: hundred years. There is such such extreme cherrymandering going on
23:12
Speaker 1: in the state like Massachusetts, it has like forty percent
23:16
Speaker 1: of the puper voting for Trump. They only had they
23:18
Speaker 1: have Seer a representative. The Republican Party has seral representatives
23:23
Speaker 1: sent to the House. Think about that in New Mexico
23:27
Speaker 1: and forty five percent of the people voted for Trump
23:29
Speaker 1: and voted Republican and Cyril is sent to the House
23:34
Speaker 1: zero representative from the Republican Party.
23:37
Speaker 4: You can just see Jake's little heartbreaking into a thousand
23:40
Speaker 4: pieces as Arnie betrays him there betrays him with the
23:43
Speaker 4: truth with cold heart facts. Joining me now is Newsweek
23:47
Speaker 4: Senior editor at Large and Article three Projects Senior Council
23:50
Speaker 4: Josh Hammer. Josh, tell me about the jerry mandering, the redistricting.
23:57
Speaker 4: It just seems crazy to me that you can have
23:59
Speaker 4: a state we're forty five percent for Republican.
24:04
Speaker 3: And I don't get a single member in the House.
24:06
Speaker 16: So Rita, first of all, you know what year is it?
24:09
Speaker 16: I mean, is it the year two thousand and five
24:10
Speaker 16: where Arlan schwartzen Anker is back in the news. I mean,
24:12
Speaker 16: it's really quite funny. I actually it's doubly funny for
24:15
Speaker 16: me as the case. Maybe I actually just got back
24:17
Speaker 16: to my state of Flora, actually was in arl schwartzen
24:19
Speaker 16: Ainger's home country of Austria, of all places, for the
24:21
Speaker 16: past weeks. This is really kind of deja vous all
24:24
Speaker 16: over again. But look, he's right, He's right. All parties
24:27
Speaker 16: do it. There are actually many Democrats states that do
24:29
Speaker 16: it a lot worse than others. I actually know this firsthand, Rita,
24:31
Speaker 16: because going back in twenty sixteen in the Republican presidential primary.
24:35
Speaker 16: I actually was a delegate on the ballot in Illinois
24:38
Speaker 16: seventh Congressional District, where I studied the state of Illinois
24:42
Speaker 16: maps very well. These maps are like I mean to
24:44
Speaker 16: call them hooks and crooks, I think will be an understatement.
24:46
Speaker 16: They are wiggling, they are wagging, they're zigging.
24:48
Speaker 10: There's zagging.
24:49
Speaker 16: It's total nonsense there. They'll go down to like half
24:52
Speaker 16: a mile wide and then balloon out to two hundred
24:54
Speaker 16: miles there, just trying to make sure that the party
24:57
Speaker 16: in control has as many seats as possible, as the
25:00
Speaker 16: former governor of California, Schwartz Nager was saying. Now, this
25:03
Speaker 16: goes back, as he also correctly said, to the origins
25:05
Speaker 16: of the Republic. The name jerry mandering comes from the
25:08
Speaker 16: early American statesman Elbridge Jerry. He literally lived over two
25:12
Speaker 16: hundred years ago. So this goes back a very very
25:14
Speaker 16: long time. Long story short, everyone does it, everyone does,
25:17
Speaker 16: and everyone's done it for a very very long time.
25:19
Speaker 16: So for Democrats to kind of you try to play
25:22
Speaker 16: the moral high ground. We saw that in Texas a
25:24
Speaker 16: few months ago earlier this summer, where Greg Abbott and
25:26
Speaker 16: the Texas legislature. We're trying to redraw their maps. There
25:29
Speaker 16: they were saying, oh my god, it's a threat to democracy,
25:31
Speaker 16: as if you guys don't do it, as the Democrats
25:34
Speaker 16: go to the exact same darn thing. Now legally speaking,
25:38
Speaker 16: read up, there are real limits on the ability of
25:41
Speaker 16: the courts to police his behavior. It's typically viewed as
25:43
Speaker 16: an inherently political question best left to the courts. There
25:46
Speaker 16: are limits on racial jerry mandering.
25:48
Speaker 10: In particular.
25:48
Speaker 16: It's actually a very interesting Supreme Court case. They just
25:51
Speaker 16: heard oral argument in that case about a week ago.
25:53
Speaker 16: It's very hot off. The press could get a very
25:55
Speaker 16: fascinating ruling on that. But traditionally the courts that have
25:57
Speaker 16: been pretty hands off on this. It's fundamentally political question.
26:01
Speaker 16: They are the Red states versus Blue states.
26:04
Speaker 3: Well, who does it better?
26:06
Speaker 4: Because the allegation is that the Democrats have mastered this.
26:11
Speaker 4: They have been doing this in a rampant fashion across
26:15
Speaker 4: the country.
26:17
Speaker 3: Are the Republicans playing catch up here?
26:21
Speaker 10: I think they are.
26:22
Speaker 16: The good news reader, is that some of the leading
26:24
Speaker 16: red states in the country, including my state of Florida,
26:26
Speaker 16: are doing a pretty darn good job of playing cash up.
26:29
Speaker 16: So Florida has added numerous Republican congressional seats just during
26:33
Speaker 16: Ron the sanders Is gubernatorial tenure. Stay of Texas under
26:35
Speaker 16: Greg Abbot is doing very much the same thing. But
26:38
Speaker 16: if you look at the leading blue states California, Illinois,
26:42
Speaker 16: New Jersey, states like that, there a lot of them
26:44
Speaker 16: are frankly just comically jerrymandered. I mean, you look at
26:48
Speaker 16: the map and you just want to laugh out loud,
26:51
Speaker 16: like how these actual congressional maps look. Now, this is
26:53
Speaker 16: relevant for US House representation. It's relevant for the dsseniel
26:57
Speaker 16: once every ten year census when it comes to how
26:59
Speaker 16: much how much funding states can get for the FEDS
27:01
Speaker 16: for various programs. So it has real ramvocations there. Democrats
27:04
Speaker 16: managed this art a very long time ago. Republicans are
27:07
Speaker 16: indeed playing catchup, as they all too often are. I
27:09
Speaker 16: might say, the good news, reader, is that at least
27:11
Speaker 16: in the leading red states like Florida, Tennessee, Texas, those
27:14
Speaker 16: states are and d catching up.
27:18
Speaker 4: Now, Josh, tell me about the absolute mass meltdown we've
27:22
Speaker 4: had over Donald Trump gifting the American people a ballroom,
27:26
Speaker 4: a beautiful ballroom. We would say this addition to the
27:29
Speaker 4: white House will have zero taxpayer dollars bent on it,
27:34
Speaker 4: with Trump and other donors paying for the enormous construction cost.
27:38
Speaker 4: You'd think this wouldn't be grounds for a massive meltdown, Josh,
27:42
Speaker 4: But it's every way, even on our nine papers in
27:46
Speaker 4: Australia today, The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age are
27:49
Speaker 4: carrying pieces about this as if it's some horrible misdeed
27:54
Speaker 4: by Trump. It is one of the more bizarre controversies
27:59
Speaker 4: I've got to side of this second term.
28:02
Speaker 16: You know, Rita, You and I are both in the
28:04
Speaker 16: news business, and every so often a story comes up
28:06
Speaker 16: and I just asked myself, why use this a thing?
28:09
Speaker 16: Like literally, why are people talking about it? I mean,
28:11
Speaker 16: here in the United States, we have some pretty big issues.
28:13
Speaker 16: This is actually one of the longest government shutdowns already
28:16
Speaker 16: in the United States history, thanks to Chuck Schumer and
28:18
Speaker 16: than Kim Jeffries. We have Donald Trump, who's currently in
28:21
Speaker 16: Southeast Asia on in a very very important forum policy trip.
28:24
Speaker 16: When it comes to everything from piece between Thailand and
28:26
Speaker 16: Cambodia to trade with communists China, we have this this
28:30
Speaker 16: whole brewing controversy when it comes to this president's admirable
28:34
Speaker 16: willingness and ability to take out drug cartel smugglers down
28:38
Speaker 16: in the Caribbean all the way down to vent as
28:40
Speaker 16: well as a lot going on in our own hemisphere.
28:42
Speaker 16: But I mean the notion that this would be a
28:44
Speaker 16: story that Donald Trump remodeling and granting the White House
28:49
Speaker 16: a new ballroom. I mean, don't you guys have anything
28:51
Speaker 16: better talk about? I mean, like, literally, don't you have
28:53
Speaker 16: something better to get your pantees all up in a
28:55
Speaker 16: lot about. I mean it really makes you think sometimes,
28:58
Speaker 16: Rita that I mean, Donald Trump could eat a piece
29:00
Speaker 16: of stale cheese and he could issue a particularly loud
29:03
Speaker 16: bit of flatulence in the wrong direction, and the people
29:06
Speaker 16: would say that it is the imminent incoming Jack Boots
29:09
Speaker 16: of the Third Reich.
29:10
Speaker 10: I mean, what is wrong with you?
29:11
Speaker 16: At a certain level, They're like, this is what you're
29:13
Speaker 16: choosing to live and die in. But you know, facetiousness aside,
29:16
Speaker 16: just to be serious for a second here, you know,
29:18
Speaker 16: the White House is, among other things, the President's home
29:21
Speaker 16: and president's going back since time immemorials to George Washington,
29:24
Speaker 16: well he actually in the White House. Well, starry In says,
29:26
Speaker 16: the White House was actually inhabited by the presidents there,
29:29
Speaker 16: they all remodeled it to some extent to their liking,
29:31
Speaker 16: because again, it is a home. It is not a
29:33
Speaker 16: big deal at all. The left surely has better things
29:36
Speaker 16: to care about.
29:36
Speaker 4: I would like to think, and you would think that
29:40
Speaker 4: the White House should have a ballroom, given the functions
29:43
Speaker 4: they host and the world leaders and dignitaries.
29:46
Speaker 3: Who come through daily.
29:47
Speaker 4: Almost it's obviously something that would be beneficial to the
29:54
Speaker 4: whole setup. And you know, people joke that if Donald
29:58
Speaker 4: Trump cured cancer, people would be use him for putting
30:01
Speaker 4: doctors out of work, and this is almost akin to that,
30:05
Speaker 4: because here, with our taxpayer funds, a beautiful ballroom is
30:10
Speaker 4: going to be built. It's owned by the American people,
30:13
Speaker 4: it's not owned by Donald Trump, and yet they're finding
30:16
Speaker 4: ways to have an absolute hissy fit over it.
30:21
Speaker 3: Crazy stuff.
30:22
Speaker 4: Now, Donald Trump is setting a blistering pace in Asia
30:26
Speaker 4: for the summit of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations.
30:30
Speaker 4: Within six hours of landing in Colo Lumpa, the President
30:34
Speaker 4: announced trade deals with four countries, met regional leaders, and
30:37
Speaker 4: held talks with the Brazilian president. And he's presided over
30:41
Speaker 4: signing of a peace steal between Cambodia and Thailand.
30:46
Speaker 3: Josh, there's a lot happening there.
30:49
Speaker 10: Yeah, it's a bit of a blitzkreak, isn't it.
30:51
Speaker 1: So?
30:51
Speaker 16: First of all, I mean, he deserves tremendous credit for
30:53
Speaker 16: getting this peace deal between Thailand and Cambodia. You know,
30:56
Speaker 16: Frankly Rider, there have been so many peace deals that
30:57
Speaker 16: he has negotiated over the first less than a Euro's presidency.
31:01
Speaker 16: It's genuinely hard to keep track there, but Tyland Cambodia
31:04
Speaker 16: was definitely one of those that kind of snuck in
31:06
Speaker 16: under the radar. So good for him for game there
31:07
Speaker 16: being there in person to preside over this. The big
31:10
Speaker 16: question I think a lot of Americans are paying very
31:11
Speaker 16: close attention to, at least from my vantage points, is
31:14
Speaker 16: when Donald Trump actually goes to meet with Si Jimping.
31:17
Speaker 16: That's going to happen imminently. They're going to have a
31:19
Speaker 16: full blown discussion over issues of trade between the United
31:23
Speaker 16: States and China. This is one of the great questions
31:26
Speaker 16: of our time. I think from an American perspective, there
31:28
Speaker 16: is some sorts of healthier trade relationship between the United
31:32
Speaker 16: States and our art geopolitical foe, the communist Chinese. Is
31:35
Speaker 16: there something that is a healthier relationship that can possibly
31:38
Speaker 16: flow from this? I genuinely am not sure what the
31:40
Speaker 16: answer is. I definitely know that I have been deeply
31:42
Speaker 16: skeptical of the way that bypars and elites have sold
31:44
Speaker 16: the American people down the river when it comes to
31:47
Speaker 16: offshore in China, when it comes to just stripping out
31:49
Speaker 16: the industrial base of the American homeland and betting the
31:52
Speaker 16: Chinese communist parties intellectual property fats, their currncy manipulation, all
31:56
Speaker 16: these horrible things there. So what will Donald Trump actually
31:59
Speaker 16: be able to do? China's been tough. I mean, Chijinpang
32:02
Speaker 16: is doing a very hard sell right now. He has
32:04
Speaker 16: these sort of damocles of possibly invading Taiwan, which would
32:07
Speaker 16: be a total disaster, certainly for the Indo Pacific. So
32:10
Speaker 16: that's really fascinating. I think that's very much what I
32:12
Speaker 16: think many others are paying very close tend to this week.
32:16
Speaker 4: Well, he not only arrived in Kola Lumpa with a
32:21
Speaker 4: dance off, introduced some new moves to his repertoire, but
32:26
Speaker 4: he was also introduced with the rocky theme.
32:30
Speaker 3: Have a look at this What will China.
32:43
Speaker 4: Make of the reception the president is receiving from Asian
32:48
Speaker 4: countries during this summit, Well, you.
32:51
Speaker 16: Would like to think that they would be somewhat cowed.
32:53
Speaker 16: You would like to think that they would be somewhat
32:55
Speaker 16: sobered up by the fact that Don Trump is being
32:58
Speaker 16: welcomed as a hero in Southeast Asia, not particularly far
33:01
Speaker 16: from China. But she jimping Rita is a fundamentally revolutionary figure.
33:07
Speaker 16: She jimping when you look at what he is doing
33:09
Speaker 16: to the Communist Party, when you look at the purges
33:10
Speaker 16: of his top ranking military brass that he has done
33:13
Speaker 16: just over the past two three years. I mean, he
33:15
Speaker 16: is now purging more military generals than I think even
33:18
Speaker 16: Maose Dung himself reached over a similar times, and he
33:20
Speaker 16: is really consolidating power there. He is not a fan
33:23
Speaker 16: of the United States. He is not a fan of
33:25
Speaker 16: Donald Trump. So I would like to think that they
33:28
Speaker 16: will be sobered up a little bit by this grand
33:30
Speaker 16: welcome that Donald Trump got in Malaysia, with the Thailand
33:34
Speaker 16: Cambodia deal, places like that there. Unfortunately, I'm not entirely
33:36
Speaker 16: sure that I expect that it's gonna be a very
33:38
Speaker 16: tough trad it's gonna be a very very tough negotiation
33:40
Speaker 16: between the United States and China. There ultimately though redone.
33:43
Speaker 16: Here's the key points. The United States has more leverage.
33:45
Speaker 16: The United States fundamentally has more leverage with China. We
33:48
Speaker 16: are the stronger country, we are the stronger economy. The
33:50
Speaker 16: Chinese economy has all sorts of fundamental flaws when it
33:53
Speaker 16: comes to the real estate market, when it comes to
33:55
Speaker 16: the rudeness, ravications of their one child policy, finally come
33:58
Speaker 16: into roos when it comes to declining dem graphics. That
34:00
Speaker 16: they have all sorts of structural flaws. As long as
34:03
Speaker 16: Donald Trump kind of keeps his head level here and
34:05
Speaker 16: kind of tries to reprise the yard of the deal,
34:07
Speaker 16: I'm pretty I'm pretty costly optimisty about what this could
34:09
Speaker 16: result from.
34:12
Speaker 3: Now, let's go to New York.
34:14
Speaker 4: The mayoral race there is heating up with zorn Man
34:17
Speaker 4: Danny the likely next Meg. Isn't he going to be
34:20
Speaker 4: giving us rich content for many years to come if
34:23
Speaker 4: that happens? But Josh a different story, very different story.
34:26
Speaker 4: In New Jersey. The governor race there is fascinating and
34:32
Speaker 4: you're looking at the numbers. Could New Jersey become a
34:35
Speaker 4: red state.
34:36
Speaker 10: Josh, oh, it's entirely possible.
34:39
Speaker 16: First of all, New Jersey has had Republican state wide
34:42
Speaker 16: officials in the not so distant past. I mean, let's
34:45
Speaker 16: recall that Chris Christy was a two term and at
34:48
Speaker 16: least at one point he was a fairly popular governor.
34:50
Speaker 16: And I mean before the whole bridge Gate scandal and
34:53
Speaker 16: all that, but at one point he was actually a
34:54
Speaker 16: pretty popular governor there in New Jersey. But New Jersey
34:58
Speaker 16: read it's a fascinting state because there is no single
35:01
Speaker 16: massive city in New Jersey. It's a very suburban state.
35:05
Speaker 16: So I think as a lot of these Philadelphia suburbs,
35:07
Speaker 16: these New York City suburbs have started to sour on
35:10
Speaker 16: the Democratic Party because frankly, they value quality of life
35:12
Speaker 16: issues such as a secure borders, such as tamping down
35:15
Speaker 16: on crimes such as increasing real inflation just to wages.
35:18
Speaker 16: There they have soured at this current woke iteration of
35:22
Speaker 16: the Jasmine Crockett AOC Democratic Party. So New Jersey has
35:25
Speaker 16: been trending read for a few years now. They almost
35:28
Speaker 16: actually voted for the Republicans back in twenty twenty one.
35:31
Speaker 16: I will not be the least surprised if they can
35:33
Speaker 16: actually pull it off in in just a week or
35:35
Speaker 16: so here in New Jersey. I'm going I'm not gonna
35:37
Speaker 16: confidently predict a read it, but I think it's actually
35:39
Speaker 16: gonna be really really close. New Jersey easily, easily could
35:42
Speaker 16: be the next day to genuinely flip red. I Thinkamala
35:44
Speaker 16: Harris only wanted by about five points.
35:46
Speaker 10: Giver take it was. It was a genuinely pretty close
35:48
Speaker 10: race lesson November.
35:51
Speaker 4: So interesting given its proximity to Manhattan. I think you'd
35:55
Speaker 4: have such wildly different politics so.
35:59
Speaker 3: Close to each other.
36:00
Speaker 4: Before you go, I want to ask you about this
36:02
Speaker 4: Harvard University resident dean who's attacked police, white people, conservatives,
36:10
Speaker 4: even defended threats against President Donald Trump. And this was
36:14
Speaker 4: before he was appointed, not that long ago. This is
36:17
Speaker 4: a report by Fox News. In twenty twenty social media posts,
36:21
Speaker 4: Gregory Davis wrote, you should ask your cop friends to
36:25
Speaker 4: resign since they're racist and evil. He also posted something
36:30
Speaker 4: to keep in mind, writing and looting are parts of democracy,
36:35
Speaker 4: just like voting and marching.
36:37
Speaker 3: The people will be heard, thee go.
36:39
Speaker 4: Writing and looting is just like voting in marching, Josh,
36:43
Speaker 4: when is Harvard going to learn, And these posts are
36:46
Speaker 4: from twenty twenty.
36:47
Speaker 3: It isn't exactly a long time ago, you know.
36:51
Speaker 16: Sadly, Rita, this is hardly the only instance of recent
36:54
Speaker 16: Harvard professors going wild. There was actually an insane story
36:58
Speaker 16: that happened one of the Jewish heigh all days. I
37:00
Speaker 16: can't remember which one it was. I think it was Russia, Shanna,
37:02
Speaker 16: but it might have been young people, it doesn't matter.
37:03
Speaker 16: But there was a visiting Harvard Law School professor went
37:07
Speaker 16: to a synagogue just outside Boston, a very heavily Jewish area.
37:11
Speaker 16: It was either Brookline or New to Massachusetts, and fired
37:13
Speaker 16: like a pellet gun or a nerf gun in a
37:15
Speaker 16: symbolic active protest at the synagogue for what ex athlete,
37:20
Speaker 16: I mean, for being like Zionists or occupiers column I
37:24
Speaker 16: mean all these various left wing buzzwords. And to my
37:26
Speaker 16: knowledge that that professor was actually not yet yet been disciplined.
37:29
Speaker 16: So Harvard's actually dealing with just utter and sanity on
37:32
Speaker 16: multiple fronts. Now, Harvard has been actually been really kind
37:35
Speaker 16: of taken to the woodshed, frankly from Donald Trump. The
37:37
Speaker 16: trumminstration has done a really good job of trying to
37:40
Speaker 16: exact concessions from Harvard. Harvard have this three to fourger
37:44
Speaker 16: page memo where they basically admitted where they've aired in
37:47
Speaker 16: recent years there and they pledged to do different going forward.
37:49
Speaker 16: I guess the question is, are you actually going to
37:51
Speaker 16: do different going forward? Because thus far in the two
37:54
Speaker 16: three months or so since that memo was released there,
37:56
Speaker 16: I mean, we've had numerous troubling data points there. Ultimately,
37:59
Speaker 16: I us that the Dogsonal Rights Division, under the excellent
38:03
Speaker 16: leadership of HARMI Dyllan, they're gonna continue to I think,
38:05
Speaker 16: to hold horror It's feet to the fire and let's
38:07
Speaker 16: see what happens.
38:08
Speaker 1: I guess.
38:10
Speaker 3: Josh Hamma, thank you so much for your time still
38:13
Speaker 3: to come.
38:13
Speaker 4: Donald Trump unveils his latest dance moves, and Meghan Markle
38:17
Speaker 4: loses more staff.
38:19
Speaker 3: Gabriella Power will have all the details.
38:32
Speaker 4: Welcome back now to President Trump, who has set a
38:36
Speaker 4: sizzling pace in Asia. Within hours of touching down, he
38:40
Speaker 4: had signed four trade deals, met regional leaders, met the
38:43
Speaker 4: Brazilian president, and presided over a historic peace still between
38:48
Speaker 4: Thailand and Cambodia.
38:50
Speaker 3: But before all that, he unveiled some new dance moves.
39:12
Speaker 3: It's superb. It's superb. I'm loving the group. Gab dance
39:16
Speaker 3: with me.
39:16
Speaker 4: Don't leave me hanging, Rita, I want to do it together.
39:21
Speaker 17: This is the first time I've done the Trump Dance
39:23
Speaker 17: on air. I've been holding off for some time, but
39:25
Speaker 17: on your show, I'll bust out the move.
39:29
Speaker 3: I love it.
39:30
Speaker 4: I love it, Gabriella Power. Fantastic to have you host
39:34
Speaker 4: of Power Hour on Sky News Australia's digital platforms. The
39:38
Speaker 4: President is getting it done in Asia. The US and
39:42
Speaker 4: China have also agreed to a framework for a trade deal,
39:46
Speaker 4: with Donald Trump expected to meet the Chinese president Gigiping
39:51
Speaker 4: this Thursday.
39:52
Speaker 17: Yeah, that's right, Rita. And just on Donald Trump's dance moves,
39:56
Speaker 17: isn't it refreshing to have a president that is full
39:59
Speaker 17: of life, that is energetic, that's high energy, that who
40:02
Speaker 17: is entertaining on the world stage, especially after the past
40:05
Speaker 17: several years of Joe Biden, who was just embarrassing on
40:08
Speaker 17: the world stage, falling up and down the stairs. But
40:11
Speaker 17: Donald Trump, you know, busting out iconic moves. But as
40:14
Speaker 17: you say, he's getting it done. He's expected to meet
40:17
Speaker 17: with China's president later in the week, and the US
40:20
Speaker 17: and China have agreed to a framework trade deal at
40:25
Speaker 17: this stage, which means it's likely that China will be
40:28
Speaker 17: able to avoid the one hundred percent tariff. So that
40:31
Speaker 17: is the art of the deal playing out.
40:33
Speaker 14: We will, of.
40:33
Speaker 17: Course works his space very closely. But as you say,
40:36
Speaker 17: Donald Trump, he's been NonStop. He's been signing off on
40:41
Speaker 17: that historic peace agreement between Cambodia and Thailand. He's been
40:45
Speaker 17: signing trade deals with Cambodia, Thailand, and Malaysia. And this
40:49
Speaker 17: is just at the very beginning of his tour.
40:54
Speaker 3: And no one can keep up with him.
40:56
Speaker 4: I was listening to an interview with Caitlin Collins from CNN.
40:59
Speaker 3: No fan of Donald Trump, it must be.
41:01
Speaker 4: Said, but she was saying that on these overseas assignments,
41:06
Speaker 4: no one can sleep because he doesn't sleep.
41:09
Speaker 3: He just keeps.
41:09
Speaker 4: Going, and the reporter extremely to work with rab the clock.
41:14
Speaker 3: They're very ugly to get up with him.
41:16
Speaker 4: Now, you would remember Justin Trudeau, the former Canadian Prime minister,
41:21
Speaker 4: the male himbo I used to call him his now
41:25
Speaker 4: known as Katie Perry's boyfriend. And here they are on
41:28
Speaker 4: a date in Paris to celebrate Katie's forty fifth birthday, Gaba.
41:35
Speaker 4: We wish them, but well, I guess have you got
41:37
Speaker 4: anything to add to this little union.
41:41
Speaker 17: We do wish them well, of course, but they are
41:43
Speaker 17: two highly unpopular people. I mean, looking at the reaction
41:46
Speaker 17: to this, many people are still calling Katie Perry an
41:49
Speaker 17: astronaut after the ten minutes that she spent up in space.
41:53
Speaker 17: And Justin Todau, I mean, people are still calling him
41:55
Speaker 17: the fifty first governor of the United States, and they're
41:58
Speaker 17: ridiculing him for his stance on climate change. But Katie Perry,
42:01
Speaker 17: Justin Trudeau, they've been They were captured or photographed, i
42:05
Speaker 17: should say, back in July at a restaurant than earlier
42:08
Speaker 17: this month. They were captured together pretty loved up on
42:10
Speaker 17: Katy Perry's yacht. And then this was their first really
42:13
Speaker 17: public outing, making it official, smiling for the cameras, you know,
42:18
Speaker 17: hand in hand. For Katie Perry's birthday, they went to
42:21
Speaker 17: a cabaret show in Paris.
42:25
Speaker 4: Yes, it's a curious choice for a forty fifth birthday,
42:28
Speaker 4: but you know, plenty of others have made similar choices.
42:31
Speaker 4: Let's move along to Harry and Meghan. They've lost yet
42:34
Speaker 4: another publicist. Former Netflix senior director of Publicity Emily Robinson
42:40
Speaker 4: has quit her communications role with The Sussex is just
42:43
Speaker 4: four months into the job. This follows several communications staffers
42:48
Speaker 4: who have also exited The Sussex's team in recent years.
42:52
Speaker 3: Gab, why can't these couple hold on to staff?
42:57
Speaker 17: I mean it's extraordinary. It's a revolving door when it
43:00
Speaker 17: comes to Harry and Meghan. If you look at any
43:03
Speaker 17: kind of successful organization, any successful business, one of the
43:08
Speaker 17: key parts or something that really reflects strong leadership is
43:11
Speaker 17: if you can retain quality staff. Harry and Meghan have
43:14
Speaker 17: not been able to do that. I mean the fact
43:16
Speaker 17: that this is the tenth publicist to go in the
43:18
Speaker 17: space of five years, that is extraordinary. And if you
43:21
Speaker 17: look at this communications director Emily Robinson's career history, she's
43:25
Speaker 17: quit after three months now. Previously, she's worked at NBC
43:29
Speaker 17: Universal for nearly three years. She's worked at other channels
43:32
Speaker 17: for several years, Netflix for reports of up to eight years.
43:36
Speaker 17: So she's someone that clearly doesn't quit very easily. You know,
43:41
Speaker 17: She's proven to be loyal to previous companies. So sources
43:45
Speaker 17: have told outlets such as The Daily Mail she's not
43:47
Speaker 17: a quitter and things must have been.
43:49
Speaker 3: Horrible for her to quit.
43:51
Speaker 17: So you think about the fact that she is now
43:54
Speaker 17: the tenth person to quit in the space of five years.
43:57
Speaker 17: What are Harry and Meghan doing or you know what
44:00
Speaker 17: is happening there? It's actually clearly driving staff away there.
44:03
Speaker 17: Of course those reports that Meghan had a bullying allegations
44:07
Speaker 17: against her while she was in the UK, and so
44:10
Speaker 17: Meghan Markle, who's someone who was so desperate for some
44:12
Speaker 17: good PR this is just another PR disaster for her.
44:17
Speaker 4: It is well, there was a probe into whether Meghan
44:21
Speaker 4: was a bully or not. The results, from what I understand,
44:24
Speaker 4: were never released. This was a palace investigation, but one
44:30
Speaker 4: day will be because you can never bury this sort
44:32
Speaker 4: of stuff forever, so we'll find out what really happened
44:35
Speaker 4: behind closed doors now. Readers of the Australian newspaper have
44:41
Speaker 4: voted on the top twenty five shows TV shows of
44:43
Speaker 4: the past twenty five years, and topping the list was
44:47
Speaker 4: Ted Lasso. I'm going to say I've never seen an episode,
44:51
Speaker 4: so I will plead ignorance there, followed by Ozark, which
44:56
Speaker 4: is good value. Could argue we jumped the shark sort
44:59
Speaker 4: of deep into it's last season, mister in Between and Shit's.
45:04
Speaker 3: Creak now, Gab.
45:06
Speaker 4: I've got to say it is a surprising top four
45:09
Speaker 4: where the readers perhaps drunk when they voted in this poll.
45:14
Speaker 3: I'm just asking the questions.
45:15
Speaker 17: Perhaps I saw Ted Lasso, I didn't mind it, but
45:18
Speaker 17: Rita that you missed one. There was also Yellowstone, and
45:21
Speaker 17: surely you like Yellowstone and also Afterlife, I mean Ricky Deveyez,
45:25
Speaker 17: that's something that I would absolutely vote for. He's a
45:28
Speaker 17: brilliant comedian and so I'm not mad about that making
45:31
Speaker 17: the list.
45:34
Speaker 4: I've got to confess I will watch Yellowstone, but it's
45:37
Speaker 4: one of the ones that's on my binge list that
45:39
Speaker 4: I haven't got to.
45:40
Speaker 3: But I did watch land Man. I binched that one,
45:44
Speaker 3: and that is brilliant. I don't know if you've seen
45:47
Speaker 3: that one, Gabby. That is with.
45:50
Speaker 4: Billy Bob Thornton, Billy Bob Thornton, Demi Moore. I guess
45:54
Speaker 4: they're the big stars in it. But it is a
45:57
Speaker 4: brilliantly written drama. I think it's gone. Season two coming
46:01
Speaker 4: up very shortly now. The Golden Globes has introduced a
46:05
Speaker 4: new category for podcasts, and it's already been ripped to
46:09
Speaker 4: shreds by fuming media insiders as it's an out of
46:14
Speaker 4: control category and a money grab.
46:17
Speaker 3: What's going on there, Gab.
46:18
Speaker 17: Yeah, let's talk about the Golden Globes controversy, because there's
46:21
Speaker 17: a bit of controversy around how these awards are going
46:24
Speaker 17: to be decided. So essentially, the Golden Globes announced that
46:27
Speaker 17: there are twenty five nominees for this new Best Podcast category,
46:32
Speaker 17: but it's already being slammed as a racket because people
46:35
Speaker 17: are wondering how these top twenty five podcasts are exactly
46:37
Speaker 17: going to be chosen, So the list of the top
46:40
Speaker 17: twenty five podcasts will be determined by Illuminate. Illuminate is
46:43
Speaker 17: owned by Penske, if I'm pronouncing that correctly. Penske has
46:46
Speaker 17: owned the Golden Globes since twenty twenty three. But there's
46:50
Speaker 17: more controversy saying that this is essentially a cash grab
46:53
Speaker 17: because potential podcast nominees must reportedly pay the Globes five
46:58
Speaker 17: hundred dollars just to be sit it. So look, it's
47:02
Speaker 17: being slammed. There's also a bit of controversy around some
47:05
Speaker 17: of the podcasters aren't fans of the Golden Globes themselves
47:08
Speaker 17: and certainly have a bit of a war on Hollywood.
47:10
Speaker 17: So we'll see how this one plays out. Reader.
47:14
Speaker 4: I mean, if it was a genuine category, you would
47:17
Speaker 4: have a conservative likely win it. And can you imagine
47:21
Speaker 4: if you had someone like a Megan Kelly giving a
47:23
Speaker 4: speech at the Golden Globes. I mean, my god, Ricky
47:27
Speaker 4: Gervais would have nothing on her. She would rip them
47:29
Speaker 4: to shreds. Or if you had, I don't know so
47:33
Speaker 4: many other great podcasters who would be in contention if
47:37
Speaker 4: it was a genuine category, But I've got a feeling
47:40
Speaker 4: it's not.
47:40
Speaker 17: Now before you go, and you look at the podcasters,
47:44
Speaker 17: and the conservatives are just absolutely dominating that space. When
47:48
Speaker 17: you've got Megan Kelly, you've got Tucker cass and you've
47:50
Speaker 17: got Joe Rogan. It's where Donald Trump spent three hours
47:53
Speaker 17: of his time, you know, with Joe Rogan, with the Ovaughne,
47:57
Speaker 17: with some really big podcasters, and it potentially helped him
48:00
Speaker 17: get elected. It's where people are listening. People are certainly
48:03
Speaker 17: listening to conservative voices on there, but not sure about
48:07
Speaker 17: the Golden Globes categrie. That's for sure.
48:11
Speaker 3: Absolutely.
48:11
Speaker 4: Now, before you go, we have to have some Kardashian
48:14
Speaker 4: input into this segment. Kim Kardashian has defended her twelve
48:19
Speaker 4: year old daughter Northwest's fake face tattoos and piercings, and
48:23
Speaker 4: she's also got the I think blue hair at the
48:26
Speaker 4: moment after the child posted videos featuring this bold new
48:32
Speaker 4: look on TikTok, gab Kanye has I think posted about
48:37
Speaker 4: this as well.
48:37
Speaker 3: He's not happy, but then his.
48:39
Speaker 4: Own output on social media is hardly an example for
48:42
Speaker 4: north to follow.
48:44
Speaker 17: No, Kanye's example on social media is absolutely appalling. But
48:49
Speaker 17: as you say, Kim Kardashian has come to her daughter's
48:52
Speaker 17: defense here because outlets have shared that TikTok and written
48:56
Speaker 17: articles saying that really found some concern when when she
49:01
Speaker 17: was seen on TikTok with the blue hair, the piercings,
49:04
Speaker 17: the tattoos, you know, some people find that a little
49:08
Speaker 17: bit shocking. But Kim Kardashian has slammed Daily Mail saying
49:13
Speaker 17: this is such a non issue, and plenty of fans
49:15
Speaker 17: of backed Kim Kardashian saying, look, she's just going through
49:18
Speaker 17: a teenage phase and give her a bit of space.
49:22
Speaker 4: Or she may be going through a teenage phase, but
49:24
Speaker 4: she's not a teenager yet, but yeah, maybe she's an
49:27
Speaker 4: early bloomer out Northwest.
49:28
Speaker 3: Gabriella Power, thanks so much for your time.
49:31
