0:05
Speaker 2: This is the Reader Paney Show.
0:08
Speaker 3: Good evening and welcome to the Reader Paney Show.
0:11
Speaker 4: Coming up tonight, a special interview with former New South
0:14
Speaker 4: Wales Police Minister and Assistant Commissioner on the Cronulla Riots,
0:19
Speaker 4: The truth behind that infamous moment in Australian history. The
0:23
Speaker 4: ABC spending record amounts of your money despite the audience
0:27
Speaker 4: numbers are shrinking.
0:29
Speaker 3: I'll speak to you for a McQueen about that.
0:31
Speaker 4: US President Joe Biden refers to half the country as garbage.
0:36
Speaker 4: Army Horowitz will join me with the latest from the
0:38
Speaker 4: US and of course left he's losing it.
0:41
Speaker 5: My biggest ops are on love Trump Trump absolutely so
0:47
Speaker 5: will you wake up and think about her?
0:49
Speaker 2: Yes?
0:49
Speaker 6: Constantly every day? Do you go to sleep and think
0:51
Speaker 6: about it?
0:52
Speaker 5: Yes?
0:52
Speaker 7: Every day?
0:54
Speaker 3: Sounds a little in love.
0:55
Speaker 4: Let's start with Opposition leader Peter Darton calling on the
0:59
Speaker 4: Prime Minister to refer himself to the National Anti Corruption
1:03
Speaker 4: Commission over the free Quentas flight upgrades He's solicited and
1:08
Speaker 4: he also questioned whether Albanese's relationship with Kontes and Alan Joyce,
1:13
Speaker 4: the former CEO, may have influenced his government's decision to
1:18
Speaker 4: stop Qatar Airways from running additional Australian flights. The question remains,
1:23
Speaker 4: did Anthony Albanesi, as Minister for Transport breach the Ministerial
1:28
Speaker 4: Code of Conduct.
1:30
Speaker 8: Well, certainly on the face of reading the Gillard government
1:33
Speaker 8: to minister or Code of Conduct, the Prime Minister has
1:35
Speaker 8: breached that by his own admission. I think it's a
1:37
Speaker 8: matter that should be referred by the Prime Minister. I
1:39
Speaker 8: think the Prime Minister should take the initiative to refer
1:42
Speaker 8: this matter to the Integrity Commission because I think there
1:45
Speaker 8: are lots of questions about mister Albenze's credibility and his
1:49
Speaker 8: integrity in relation to the Qatar decision.
1:52
Speaker 3: Joining me now for more on this.
1:53
Speaker 4: As Sky News contributor Pro McSwain prou the Qatar decision
1:58
Speaker 4: may come back to haunt Anthony Alberaneasi. It was a
2:02
Speaker 4: decision that was hugely beneficial for quantas, but you can
2:07
Speaker 4: make the argument it hurt Australian travelers who are paying
2:10
Speaker 4: more for airfares in part due to the lack of competition.
2:15
Speaker 9: Well, Rita, that's what made Chip's all about.
2:17
Speaker 10: You scratch each other's back, and you look after each
2:20
Speaker 10: other and you know, who cares if the traveling public's
2:24
Speaker 10: going to pay more. Look, there's no doubt in anyone's
2:29
Speaker 10: mind that he's on thin ice. That the Prime Minister has,
2:35
Speaker 10: on the face of it, breached the Code of Standards.
2:38
Speaker 10: You know, three point one point eight clearly says you
2:42
Speaker 10: cannot solicit you know, benefits for yourself or your family,
2:47
Speaker 10: and one would expect that that will come out eventually.
2:52
Speaker 9: He's lost all authority and that's his problem. Now there's
2:55
Speaker 9: no credibility.
2:56
Speaker 10: There's even memes going around, can we upgrade our PA?
3:00
Speaker 9: You know, they've already hit the ground.
3:02
Speaker 10: He once actually accused Scott Morrison of being tarnished by
3:07
Speaker 10: his own hubris. Well, we're looking at that right now
3:12
Speaker 10: with this Prime Minister. He's compromised his position, he's compromised
3:17
Speaker 10: the traveling public and frankly he should I believe he's
3:23
Speaker 10: going to survive this.
3:25
Speaker 9: Report himself to the NACC.
3:27
Speaker 10: He needs to come clean and either fall on his
3:30
Speaker 10: sword if it's proven that he has breached the code,
3:33
Speaker 10: or at least show that he's a man.
3:35
Speaker 9: You know, man up. Stop trying to off escape and
3:38
Speaker 9: worm your way out of it. You're just looking ridiculous.
3:42
Speaker 3: True, You're so right.
3:43
Speaker 4: It shows a sense of entitlement here from the Prime
3:46
Speaker 4: Minister and it challenges this entire brand he's built around
3:51
Speaker 4: himself of being this down to earth, relatable man who
3:56
Speaker 4: grew up in public housing and understands the concerns of
4:00
Speaker 4: everyday Australian's dealing with cost of living crisis, dealing with
4:05
Speaker 4: a housing crisis, and then in the space of two
4:08
Speaker 4: weeks pro we've had him buy a beach house for
4:10
Speaker 4: over four million dollars, not very relatable, and now this,
4:14
Speaker 4: and this is arguably far worse because at least the
4:17
Speaker 4: beach house was his own money. This is him benefiting
4:21
Speaker 4: from freebies thanks to his position.
4:24
Speaker 9: Well, it's talking to his poor judgment too, you know.
4:27
Speaker 10: Is he that out of touch now and so enamored
4:32
Speaker 10: of his role that he thinks he can get away
4:36
Speaker 10: with these things? You know, it's just he clearly is
4:39
Speaker 10: not taking any advice and if he is, maybe it's
4:42
Speaker 10: from charmers.
4:43
Speaker 9: Who's after his job, because this is a good way
4:45
Speaker 9: for charmers to be marching into the PM role. You know,
4:50
Speaker 9: I really can't help but feel that Alban.
4:52
Speaker 10: Eazy won't recover from this I think he's a dead
4:55
Speaker 10: man walking when it comes to being PM, or in
4:58
Speaker 10: fact being re elected under the Labor Party. So you know,
5:03
Speaker 10: there's a lot more to play in this and the
5:06
Speaker 10: Libs are not going to let it go away.
5:08
Speaker 9: He's tried to distract it with the.
5:09
Speaker 10: You know, bringing the COVID report out a couple of
5:13
Speaker 10: days earlier. He thinks, nothing to see here, look over here.
5:17
Speaker 10: We're not that stupid.
5:18
Speaker 9: We're not going to let this go and he's going
5:20
Speaker 9: to be accountable.
5:23
Speaker 7: Now.
5:24
Speaker 4: The Victorian government's war against property investors continues.
5:28
Speaker 3: Not only have they.
5:30
Speaker 4: Hiked up land tax, imposed a raft of onerous conditions
5:34
Speaker 4: on landlords, and stripped away property owners' rights, and that
5:39
Speaker 4: is set to intensify further prough with six fresh reforms
5:43
Speaker 4: set to be written into law over the next twelve months.
5:46
Speaker 4: Landlords will lose the right to choose who lives in
5:49
Speaker 4: their properties. Essentially, they can't just evict tenants unless they
5:53
Speaker 4: have damaged property, failed to pay rent, or if the
5:57
Speaker 4: owner needs somewhere to live and has to move back.
6:00
Speaker 4: You can't just choose who's going to live in your property,
6:02
Speaker 4: which seems incredible to me.
6:05
Speaker 3: There will also be banned.
6:06
Speaker 4: From having tenants pay penalties for breaking their lease. The
6:13
Speaker 4: maximum a tenant will have to pay is four weeks
6:16
Speaker 4: rent even if they break a twelve week or twelve
6:20
Speaker 4: month rental agreement. All of these measures pro just add
6:25
Speaker 4: up to making it less attractive for mom and dad
6:29
Speaker 4: investors to enter the property market in Victoria. And it
6:34
Speaker 4: means the pull of rental properties is going to shrink further.
6:38
Speaker 3: And push up rents.
6:39
Speaker 4: So though this is supposed to help renters, I think
6:42
Speaker 4: in the end, it's going to hurt them.
6:44
Speaker 9: Well, it really is. You know, who would be an
6:47
Speaker 9: investor in Victoria? Now? You know it's the politics of envy.
6:52
Speaker 10: And you have this ridiculous claim that they're going to
6:55
Speaker 10: build more houses. Well maybe the intention is, but whereas
6:58
Speaker 10: everybody going to rent in the interim while this goes
7:01
Speaker 10: on and frankly with the CFME, you are running right
7:05
Speaker 10: down there and everywhere. You know, we will see if
7:09
Speaker 10: those houses get built. But why would anyone invest when
7:14
Speaker 10: you think that a lot of the people who are
7:16
Speaker 10: investors are just ordinary mum and dads Australians who've worked hard,
7:20
Speaker 10: either tradeesh've got their own business, who just want to
7:24
Speaker 10: or school teachers, people who just want a little nest
7:27
Speaker 10: egg when they retire. They're not these you know, die hard,
7:32
Speaker 10: lethal landlords who are there to screw over the tenant.
7:35
Speaker 10: You know, I had investment properties and the tenants that
7:39
Speaker 10: look after them, you love them. You don't want to
7:42
Speaker 10: lose those people. The last thing you do is treat
7:45
Speaker 10: them with contempt. But in this case, you know, Victoria
7:48
Speaker 10: I think was leading the wave.
7:49
Speaker 9: We're investment properties.
7:51
Speaker 10: You're going to be one of the last states I
7:54
Speaker 10: believe that will have people wanting to park their money there.
7:57
Speaker 4: It's too risky, oh absolutely. And there are biased advocates
8:03
Speaker 4: leading bias advocates who have told their clients do not
8:06
Speaker 4: invest in Victoria because this war against property investors. It's
8:12
Speaker 4: a real thing, and there is a reason why so
8:15
Speaker 4: many are selling up, and it's really putting a strain
8:20
Speaker 4: on the rental market. And you feel sorry for the
8:23
Speaker 4: renters who have no option but to rent. When there's
8:26
Speaker 4: not that many properties left to rent, the prices go up.
8:29
Speaker 4: Now let's talk about the ABC. The twenty twenty four
8:33
Speaker 4: annual report has just been released and the public broadcaster
8:37
Speaker 4: spent a record amount one point one to three billion
8:41
Speaker 4: in taxpayer funds over the last financial year. The government
8:44
Speaker 4: is budgeting for them to spent even more this financial year,
8:49
Speaker 4: despite the fact that their audience is plummeting prove and
8:54
Speaker 4: I do wonder where the accountability is here. The ABC
8:57
Speaker 4: only generated around one hundred million in revenue last year.
9:02
Speaker 10: Well what's our ROI you know, And whenever you're investing
9:05
Speaker 10: in anything, you have to think what is my return?
9:08
Speaker 10: And frankly, as one of the people paying.
9:11
Speaker 9: For the ABC activists, you know, I want my money back.
9:15
Speaker 10: You know, we have this situation where you know, they're
9:18
Speaker 10: saying that they've done a lot of job cuts and frankly,
9:21
Speaker 10: a lot of those people you wouldn't feed, let alone
9:23
Speaker 10: put near a microphone. But they must be running out
9:27
Speaker 10: of activist journalists to actually employ, because you know, it's
9:31
Speaker 10: just ridiculous that you have this situation where the national
9:35
Speaker 10: broadcaster is so predictable, not reflecting what Australians want to see,
9:41
Speaker 10: and hear losing audiences like crazy, and we keep.
9:46
Speaker 9: Throwing money at them.
9:47
Speaker 10: There is no accountability clearly, and governments, consecutive governments of
9:52
Speaker 10: the Limbs as well, have not had the guts to say, okay,
9:55
Speaker 10: we're going to sell you off, privatize you, or you
9:58
Speaker 10: can and you can become a streaming service from McSwain.
10:01
Speaker 3: Thanks for your time tonight.
10:03
Speaker 4: Now I'm looking forward to this next interview with a
10:06
Speaker 4: former police minister and police commander that may change how
10:09
Speaker 4: you view the Cronulla riots. That infamous episode in two
10:13
Speaker 4: thousand and five is one we all recall. It's a
10:16
Speaker 4: shameful incident in Australia's history, instantly recognizable as one of
10:21
Speaker 4: racism and violence against the Middle Eastern community.
10:26
Speaker 11: It was billed as the day Cronulla residents would take
10:28
Speaker 11: back the beaches, but it soon turned into a riot.
10:34
Speaker 11: Thousands of police officers used battens and capsican spray to
10:37
Speaker 11: control an angry mob that had gathered at Coronella Railway station.
10:45
Speaker 11: Hords of angry youths had been tearing around Cronulla all
10:48
Speaker 11: day looking for a fight. Their target anyone of Middle
10:51
Speaker 11: Eastern appearance where they claim have been harassing locals at
10:55
Speaker 11: the beach.
10:55
Speaker 4: But that narrative is far from the full story, and
10:59
Speaker 4: a new book sheds further light on what really happened
11:03
Speaker 4: and what preceded and followed the Cronulla Riots, written by
11:06
Speaker 4: former New South Wales police minister Carl Scully and former
11:09
Speaker 4: Assistant Commissioner Mark Goodwin the Cronulla Riots. The Inside Story
11:15
Speaker 4: details the true motivations behind the riots and exposes the
11:19
Speaker 4: previously unspoken of revenge at tax planned by some men
11:24
Speaker 4: of Middle Eastern appearance that were ultimately foiled. Kyl Scully
11:28
Speaker 4: and Mark Goodwin join me now. Carl, I'll start with you.
11:32
Speaker 4: You were police minister. You threatened to put army troops
11:36
Speaker 4: on the streets unless police numbers were boosted significantly. Tell
11:41
Speaker 4: me about the volatility of that period and why you've
11:45
Speaker 4: written this book.
11:46
Speaker 12: Well, firstly, we were getting frightening intelligence. Certainly Mark Goodwin
11:52
Speaker 12: was passing it on to me, and I did not
11:55
Speaker 12: feel a commissioner was treating it seriously. After the initial
11:58
Speaker 12: protests on the eleventh of December two thousand and five,
12:02
Speaker 12: he was allocating six hundred troops at six hundred police.
12:06
Speaker 12: I didn't think that was enough, and so with my
12:10
Speaker 12: nudging and instigation and threatening to bring soldiers in, he
12:13
Speaker 12: increased that to two thousand.
12:15
Speaker 6: Combined with the police.
12:16
Speaker 12: Powers that we extended in a parliamentary sitting just some
12:20
Speaker 12: four days after the initial event, and all of the
12:23
Speaker 12: special branch branches available, special commands available, police were able
12:29
Speaker 12: to quell descent and bring order back to the streets
12:32
Speaker 12: and suburbs of Sydney.
12:36
Speaker 4: Mark Were these rights entirely about race? Was it a
12:41
Speaker 4: race based conflict? And tell me about some of the
12:45
Speaker 4: more serious payback plots that were uncovered and ultimately foiled.
12:52
Speaker 13: Certainly Rita, we would say the actual causal factor of
12:57
Speaker 13: the riots was in civility on the beach. There was
13:00
Speaker 13: groups of young men coming from the western suburbs down
13:02
Speaker 13: there and there was a lot of misogynistic comments made
13:05
Speaker 13: to young girls. There was gangs, There was incidents in
13:10
Speaker 13: the car park, there was incidents in the mall at
13:12
Speaker 13: Cronulla and built up over a long period of time.
13:14
Speaker 13: There was this disquiet that became a community outrage. With
13:20
Speaker 13: the assault and the lifeguards, that was pretty much the flashpoint.
13:25
Speaker 13: What's been reported over the years and the narrative written,
13:28
Speaker 13: I suppose what pushed by academics is only focused on
13:33
Speaker 13: the daytime events at Cronulla, where certainly there was racism,
13:37
Speaker 13: there was racist slogans, there was racism used.
13:41
Speaker 6: But what we say is that there was a lot
13:42
Speaker 6: of sprookers.
13:43
Speaker 13: In the crowd that day. They didn't come from the
13:44
Speaker 13: Carnella area. They were driven by racism, they were driven
13:48
Speaker 13: by white supremacy, and I think a lot of the
13:51
Speaker 13: young people down there from the area and also outside
13:53
Speaker 13: the area really lost their way and we spected them
13:56
Speaker 13: later and they also they don't know what overtok their
14:00
Speaker 13: heads that day, but.
14:02
Speaker 6: What really occurred.
14:03
Speaker 13: The journalists went home, there was a lot of stuff
14:06
Speaker 13: in the evening news about what occurred, which enraged the
14:09
Speaker 13: people from the western suburbs. Then we had these massive
14:12
Speaker 13: revenge attacks which literally went for weeks, and the intelligence
14:15
Speaker 13: we had over those period of time was absolutely frightening.
14:18
Speaker 13: I mean, there was entire suburbs destroyed, broken windows, cars smashed,
14:22
Speaker 13: people being baseball battered, stabbed, gunshots fired, churches burnt down,
14:27
Speaker 13: and it seems over the years that that's sort of
14:29
Speaker 13: the site of the riots has been almost forgotten about.
14:32
Speaker 13: And some of the intelligence that we had, including a
14:35
Speaker 13: hand grenade attack and drive by shooting with machine guns
14:39
Speaker 13: on a hotel at Cronulla which was foiled, and certainly
14:43
Speaker 13: another massive attack that was going to occur at Westfields
14:46
Speaker 13: at Miranda that was foiled. These incidents just seemed to
14:50
Speaker 13: have disappeared into obscurity over.
14:51
Speaker 12: The years aps if I could add to that retail.
14:54
Speaker 12: If you google any photo or videographic evidence of the riots,
15:00
Speaker 12: ninety nine percent is a bunch of marauding and abreated
15:04
Speaker 12: white guys wandering around looking for Arabic others to bash,
15:09
Speaker 12: and so academic social commentators developed a truth that the
15:14
Speaker 12: Southern Shire was a racist Caucasian enclave. We challenged that
15:18
Speaker 12: truth because the evidence is quite to the contrary. As
15:22
Speaker 12: Mark outlined, there were far more violent and just as
15:25
Speaker 12: biggoted and racist elements in response. But we challenge what
15:30
Speaker 12: inspired the events, and we conclude that whilst it was
15:33
Speaker 12: racist and bigoted on the surface, little of it was
15:36
Speaker 12: motivated by racism. There were other factors at play, and
15:40
Speaker 12: that's what is the central part of our book.
15:45
Speaker 4: Well, tell me a bit more about those other factors.
15:48
Speaker 4: You mentioned that they had to badly behaved men terrorizing
15:53
Speaker 4: young women on the beach, making comments that were unacceptable.
15:58
Speaker 4: What other incidents led up to that upliness exploding?
16:02
Speaker 12: This invites a broader question where we challenge our celebration
16:06
Speaker 12: of multiculturalism, and we conclude that most people like to
16:11
Speaker 12: have order and sameness, and we should search for what
16:14
Speaker 12: we have in common rather than overly celebrate our difference.
16:18
Speaker 12: And what happened on the beach we call it the
16:20
Speaker 12: towel versus the soccer ball folks weren't wrong, just different
16:25
Speaker 12: communities having different notions of how to use the beach
16:28
Speaker 12: and what was pretty uncivil behavior. I have no doubt
16:33
Speaker 12: if Caucasian surfers traveled to outside the mosque in Lakember
16:38
Speaker 12: and use similar misogynistic language, there would have been a
16:41
Speaker 12: riot then, so uncivil behavior, misogynistic attitudes, using the beach
16:47
Speaker 12: in an unfriendly way. But if it was about Caucasian
16:52
Speaker 12: and Arabic supremacism, then this would not have gone away
16:56
Speaker 12: and never to return, so it invites a greater scrutiny.
17:00
Speaker 12: There was deep seated racism between different parts of Sydney.
17:03
Speaker 12: It would have constantly come back every second weekend. And
17:07
Speaker 12: one of the things that fascinated is Rita is when
17:09
Speaker 12: we interviewed a number of Lebanese Muslims, they told us
17:12
Speaker 12: they grew up on Cronulla Beach every weekend, some of
17:16
Speaker 12: them for decades, and they never had an issue ever
17:19
Speaker 12: until this short period came and went. So it invited
17:23
Speaker 12: a greater scrutiny than just looking at the videographic and
17:27
Speaker 12: photographic evidence that you've just displayed earlier, because you look
17:30
Speaker 12: at it reata and I think, my goodness, that's shocking,
17:33
Speaker 12: and it was shocking, but so were the revenge attacks
17:36
Speaker 12: multiplied by five that has Mark alluded to. We see
17:39
Speaker 12: little of.
17:42
Speaker 2: Oh.
17:43
Speaker 4: Absolutely, there has been this very simplistic narrative that's taken
17:47
Speaker 4: hold and it's one that the media likes. It ticks
17:50
Speaker 4: all the boxes of their worldview and that's what they've pushed.
17:56
Speaker 9: Mark.
17:56
Speaker 4: What is the biggest misconception about the rights that you
18:00
Speaker 4: like this book to correct? Is it what preceded it
18:04
Speaker 4: or the enormous incidents of violence that followed that really
18:10
Speaker 4: didn't get the coverage they deserve.
18:13
Speaker 2: Read.
18:14
Speaker 13: I think history has been skewed over the years, as
18:16
Speaker 13: we've already pointed out, by the fact that there was
18:19
Speaker 13: so much build up of media leading up to the
18:22
Speaker 13: day that I think every journalist in Sydney turned up
18:25
Speaker 13: at Cronulla on the day and then, to be quite
18:27
Speaker 13: frank with you, may I was there. And history's been
18:30
Speaker 13: written by people that weren't participants, but the journalists that
18:33
Speaker 13: were there during the day. Halfway through the day looked
18:36
Speaker 13: though they were very despondent looks on their face. They
18:38
Speaker 13: were going to go back to their editors and be
18:39
Speaker 13: sacked because they had nothing to report. And then as
18:42
Speaker 13: the afternoon and the alcohol war on, there were certainly
18:45
Speaker 13: incidents which were captured by one hundred cameras from every
18:48
Speaker 13: different angle.
18:49
Speaker 6: Which is all the footage.
18:51
Speaker 13: And as Carla's indicated, if you google, Coronella writes, now
18:53
Speaker 13: that's all you will see is these images from the daytime.
18:56
Speaker 13: Then that media packed decided it was all every and
18:58
Speaker 13: went home. Weeks afterwards, the police dealt with these massive risk,
19:03
Speaker 13: higher risk, extreme risk actually revenge attacks that were popping
19:07
Speaker 13: up all over Sydney, and some of them outlined already.
19:10
Speaker 6: So I think it's important that we'd.
19:12
Speaker 13: Certainly like to see this book as the go to
19:14
Speaker 13: reference now because it was a written by participants and
19:17
Speaker 13: b it is a factual account of the actual incidents
19:20
Speaker 13: and the truth of what occurred in the build up
19:23
Speaker 13: on the day and also in the post events.
19:28
Speaker 2: I think read a lot.
19:30
Speaker 4: Of good police officers were hurt during that period, They
19:35
Speaker 4: were smeared, defamed. Do you hope this book's going to
19:40
Speaker 4: restore the good names of those police members whose reputations
19:44
Speaker 4: were really damaged during that period.
19:47
Speaker 6: I hope so.
19:48
Speaker 12: Firstly, Sergeant Craig Campbell outside the Cronulla Railway station.
19:53
Speaker 6: That footage was real.
19:54
Speaker 12: He protected the lives of two people who were under
19:58
Speaker 12: attack and lives being threatened. Superintendent John Richardson, who did
20:02
Speaker 12: an enormous effort outside the lakember Mosque to calm tensions.
20:08
Speaker 12: Mark Goodwin was one of the best senior executives I
20:12
Speaker 12: ever had the pleasure of working with, and certainly during
20:14
Speaker 12: my time as Police Minister. He did everything a senior
20:18
Speaker 12: police officer who could be asked to do to restore
20:21
Speaker 12: order in Sydney's probably most troubling period. What was his
20:25
Speaker 12: reward He lost his career. Craig Campbell accused of excessive force.
20:30
Speaker 12: John Richardson abused on the Four Corners program because he
20:35
Speaker 12: didn't stop the convoy.
20:36
Speaker 6: So I don't think the public.
20:39
Speaker 12: Fully appreciate fix could have been a war on the
20:43
Speaker 12: streets of Sydney if likes of Mark goodwhen his commanders
20:46
Speaker 12: had not crushed the descent before it emanated from certain
20:51
Speaker 12: suburbs of Sydney.
20:52
Speaker 6: It was as.
20:53
Speaker 12: Good and fine police work as I've ever seen, but
20:56
Speaker 12: it doesn't get any credit. Nobody knows about it because
20:59
Speaker 12: all I saw was this report that condemned that performance
21:03
Speaker 12: without much justification.
21:08
Speaker 4: Mark Goodwin, Carl Scully, thank you so much for your
21:10
Speaker 4: time this evening.
21:11
Speaker 3: Really appreciate it.
21:12
Speaker 6: Thank you, thank you for your time.
21:14
Speaker 4: Still to come, Lefties losing it class Joe Biden labels
21:19
Speaker 4: half the country human garbage.
21:21
Speaker 3: Ami Horowitz, we'll join the next.
21:32
Speaker 4: Welcome back. Now it's time for lefties losing it. So
21:35
Speaker 4: let's check in with the leader of the free world.
21:38
Speaker 4: Remember him, the man who is currently president allegedly, the
21:42
Speaker 4: man who has, with Kamala Harris, seen the country plunged
21:46
Speaker 4: into an illegal immigration crisis at cost of living crisis.
21:51
Speaker 3: The dude who talks about fascist even as.
21:54
Speaker 4: He tries to bankrupt and imprison his chief political opponents. Well,
21:58
Speaker 4: here is President Joe Biden calling half of America, half
22:03
Speaker 4: of the country, human garbage.
22:06
Speaker 14: Or Puerto Rico where I'm in my home state of Delaware.
22:09
Speaker 14: They're good, decent, honorable people. The only garbage ac float
22:13
Speaker 14: down there is his supporters.
22:15
Speaker 4: Yep, they're still having a meltdown about a little joke
22:18
Speaker 4: told by Tony Hinchcliff, not by Trump, by the way,
22:22
Speaker 4: Trump didn't say.
22:23
Speaker 3: The joke, and the media is fanning the flames.
22:26
Speaker 4: They spend more time on this nothing joke than they
22:29
Speaker 4: did on the Trump assassination attempts.
22:32
Speaker 3: They're scared.
22:33
Speaker 4: That's why the Kamala campaign is faltering badly.
22:37
Speaker 3: They are getting increasingly desperate.
22:39
Speaker 4: And this is despite the fact that the Harris campaign
22:43
Speaker 4: is outspending Trump and the Republicans by a huge margin,
22:47
Speaker 4: spending more than three times the Republicans last month. But
22:51
Speaker 4: the message is faltering. Could it be because their candidate
22:55
Speaker 4: is uniquely hopeless?
22:57
Speaker 3: What's here?
22:58
Speaker 4: As Kamala takes a jubil moment at a rally where
23:01
Speaker 4: everyone is chanting her name and completely kills the vibe.
23:06
Speaker 3: Then she laughs hysterically for some reason. Now I want
23:12
Speaker 3: to inter you to show your own name.
23:14
Speaker 15: Do that?
23:18
Speaker 3: Yeah, that works really well.
23:20
Speaker 4: As for the ads and celebrity endorsements, while they continue
23:24
Speaker 4: to be cringe, here is I want to be first
23:28
Speaker 4: husband Doug and knock them up, knock them out m
23:31
Speaker 4: off starring in an ad with Doc Rivers. Watch this
23:36
Speaker 4: and you'll understand why the Democrats have a man problem.
23:41
Speaker 5: It does.
23:41
Speaker 16: You're going to travel across all these we stays, right,
23:44
Speaker 16: You're going to make sure this folks know the com
23:47
Speaker 16: it's going to take care of all of them.
23:49
Speaker 2: Just like you take care of a proton.
23:51
Speaker 16: Yeah, Tony, you have to make sure everyone knows they come,
23:55
Speaker 16: it's going to support their families. Wes, You're going to
23:59
Speaker 16: make sure everyone know the karma and the perfective government
24:02
Speaker 16: partner you got to complete and all of you you
24:05
Speaker 16: must head to I will vote dot com to make
24:07
Speaker 16: your plan to vote to vote for Conna.
24:11
Speaker 3: I'm convinced that's just so bad.
24:15
Speaker 4: And if you thought that was bad, take a look
24:17
Speaker 4: at these lefties losing and the Democrat groups who have
24:20
Speaker 4: released a pro pornography ad showing a man masturbating to
24:26
Speaker 4: an X rated clip. Then he's interrupted by a Republican
24:30
Speaker 4: who apparently is going to ban porn under the Trump administration.
24:35
Speaker 3: This is what pure desperation looks like, folks.
24:38
Speaker 4: And I can't show you the full ad because it's obscene.
24:42
Speaker 17: Oh sorry, you can't do that.
24:45
Speaker 3: What the hell, man, how'd you get in here?
24:47
Speaker 17: I'm your Republican congressman. Now that we're in charge, we're
24:51
Speaker 17: banning born nationwide.
24:53
Speaker 6: You can't tell me what to do. Get out of
24:54
Speaker 6: my bedroom retreat.
24:56
Speaker 17: I won the last election, so it's my decision. I'm
24:59
Speaker 17: just going to watch and make sure you don't finish illegally.
25:04
Speaker 4: Oh dear, yeah, I can see what I have a
25:07
Speaker 4: man problem. But there are white dudes for Kamala. A
25:10
Speaker 4: lot of them need help. Check out this one broken
25:14
Speaker 4: by Trump derangement syndrome.
25:16
Speaker 2: See your biggest obstacle in life right now?
25:19
Speaker 6: My biggest obstacle in love Trump?
25:22
Speaker 2: Trump?
25:22
Speaker 6: Absolutely So will you wake up and think about it?
25:26
Speaker 2: Yes?
25:27
Speaker 6: Constantly?
25:27
Speaker 2: Every day?
25:28
Speaker 6: Do you go to sleep and think about it?
25:29
Speaker 5: Yes?
25:30
Speaker 7: Every day?
25:31
Speaker 6: Are you in love with him? I hate his guts?
25:34
Speaker 4: Here is another white dude for Kamala, triggered by a
25:37
Speaker 4: Veterans for Trump sign.
25:40
Speaker 3: Watch what he does for to this.
25:41
Speaker 18: Yard sign that reads Veterans for Trump. Abruptly kicks it
25:45
Speaker 18: and wanders off. A minute later, he's back again, his
25:48
Speaker 18: eyes focused on the home. Then, just after six, our
25:51
Speaker 18: friend returns a third time, something yellow in his hand,
25:55
Speaker 18: a piece of paper he leaves in the mailbox.
25:58
Speaker 4: And the low life isn't done yet, not content with
26:01
Speaker 4: seemingly stalking the house and kicking the sign. He left
26:05
Speaker 4: this note for the man who is risking his life
26:09
Speaker 4: for America.
26:11
Speaker 17: As it talks about how I was a disgrace to
26:13
Speaker 17: my country and a discrease to.
26:15
Speaker 19: The US military because of my choice and candidate. And
26:20
Speaker 19: you know, at the very end of the letter he
26:22
Speaker 19: actually tells me to go to hell.
26:24
Speaker 4: That's the tolerant, inclusive left for you, folks, that's down
26:28
Speaker 4: in Florida. Can you imagine how triggered that guy is
26:30
Speaker 4: going to be after election day.
26:33
Speaker 9: Let's hear it.
26:34
Speaker 4: Now from the woman herself. We need more Carmala in
26:37
Speaker 4: our lives. She's doing more interviews these days, and that
26:41
Speaker 4: means we're getting more incoherent gibberish like.
26:44
Speaker 20: This, knowing that we also have the honor and the
26:48
Speaker 20: duty of excelling in every way possible, being able to
26:54
Speaker 20: see what is possible and not be burdened by other
26:57
Speaker 20: people's limited ability to see the same.
27:02
Speaker 4: I guess she can always go back to calling Trump
27:05
Speaker 4: a fascist. Perhaps in citing another assassination attempt.
27:09
Speaker 21: You called Donald Trump a fascist. The top Republicans in
27:12
Speaker 21: Congress have called on you to tone down your rhetoric.
27:15
Speaker 21: They say it's quote irresponsible anti Trump rhetoric, and they're
27:19
Speaker 21: saying what you're doing could invite another assassination attempt against
27:24
Speaker 21: Donald Trump.
27:25
Speaker 3: How would you respond to that?
27:26
Speaker 22: Well, first of all, I condemn any political violence of
27:29
Speaker 22: any sort against anyone, but again, don't take it from me.
27:35
Speaker 4: Meanwhile, Donald Trump doesn't have to spend anywhere near as
27:38
Speaker 4: much as Democrats when he's got folks on social media
27:42
Speaker 4: taking his words and sending them to music like this.
27:46
Speaker 3: This is the latest viral sensation.
27:49
Speaker 6: Joe Biden is asleep, Kamala.
27:52
Speaker 7: Is that a dance party with Beyonce Beyonce, Beyonce, Beyonce, Beyonce.
27:59
Speaker 3: Beyonce, he is he?
28:01
Speaker 7: Dance party would beyond saying dance party would bead saying

28:55
Speaker 3: Joining me now for more?
28:57
Speaker 19: Is it?
28:57
Speaker 3: Filmmaker and commentator Army Horowitz.
29:01
Speaker 4: Army, a political peddle on CNN, has had an almighty
29:06
Speaker 4: meltdown over a joke made by a conservative commentator, Ryan
29:11
Speaker 4: Gardowski at He made the joke towards a pro Palestinian journalist,
29:16
Speaker 4: Mehdi Hassan. This is a man who calls half the
29:18
Speaker 4: country Nazis. But apparently that's fine. But when a conservative
29:24
Speaker 4: makes a joke about a pager going off, let's see
29:29
Speaker 4: the reaction.
29:30
Speaker 3: Let's see the absolute meltdown.
29:33
Speaker 6: If you don't want to be called Nazis, stop.
29:40
Speaker 2: People by me.
29:41
Speaker 21: I never call you an.
29:43
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm not saying her saying I'm a set
29:45
Speaker 2: of the Palestinians. I'm used to it. Well, I hope
29:46
Speaker 2: your paper doesn't go off the thing is is that
29:50
Speaker 2: you should know you should be killed.
29:53
Speaker 4: Of course, he goes straight into victim mode, interpreting the
29:57
Speaker 4: comment as some sort.
29:58
Speaker 3: Of a death threat.
30:00
Speaker 4: He did say, I hope your beeper doesn't go off.
30:03
Speaker 4: He didn't want it to explode.
30:04
Speaker 3: And the hysteria.
30:06
Speaker 4: Continued nine ones today.
30:10
Speaker 2: And so this is this is America.
30:14
Speaker 9: Forget the racism.
30:15
Speaker 2: That's which I should die. She said, what does mean?
30:19
Speaker 2: Don't give me? What did you say?
30:22
Speaker 9: People?
30:22
Speaker 2: What did you mean by the beeper? What did you said?
30:28
Speaker 3: Doesn't at least have.
30:30
Speaker 6: The guts to support your racist com.
30:32
Speaker 20: I'm so sorry, but I will tell you I don't
30:34
Speaker 20: accept that apology.
30:35
Speaker 8: And you don't even stay Its fine, that's what is disgusting.
30:37
Speaker 3: But I can be offended when you don't even stand
30:39
Speaker 3: to me.
30:39
Speaker 6: I'm not Puerto Rican, but I was offended by what.
30:42
Speaker 2: He said yesterday.
30:43
Speaker 4: The hyperbole is off the charts. That Loan Conservative was
30:48
Speaker 4: taken off and now Army has been banned from seeing it.
30:54
Speaker 2: Yeah, first of all, Rita, I sure hope that Rita
30:57
Speaker 2: Patty extended Danzo mix that I saw before I was
31:00
Speaker 2: gonna make it on air. So I like what I
31:02
Speaker 2: like the moves that I saw Rita. And by the way,
31:05
Speaker 2: for my TikTok gen Z fans out there, I want
31:08
Speaker 2: before I start, I want to say thank you Beyonce.
31:10
Speaker 2: I don't want to die, all right? Moving on Mehdi Hassad, Yes,
31:15
Speaker 2: why was Mehdi Hassan Manie Assad is a man Just
31:18
Speaker 2: so we have some context here, right, he was. He
31:21
Speaker 2: was fired from MSNBC. Not because he was a Katari
31:26
Speaker 2: funded mouthpiece for the Hama supporting regime. No, he was
31:30
Speaker 2: fired because he had horrible ratings. He was no Rita
31:34
Speaker 2: Pannehy when it came to the ratings, that's for sure,
31:37
Speaker 2: that's for certain. But yes, like you alluded to before,
31:40
Speaker 2: prior to that exchange, he went on and said essentially
31:45
Speaker 2: said that every Republican fifty percent of this country are
31:49
Speaker 2: fascist and Nazis. I would take offense to that, and
31:53
Speaker 2: of course Kodorski did because he is one of them.
31:55
Speaker 2: So he was essentially be called a Nazi by this guy.
31:57
Speaker 2: Now what do I think he's guilty of? Okay, it
32:00
Speaker 2: was a lame joke, for sure. It wasn't really a
32:03
Speaker 2: propose for CNN. Also, I know Gary was coming from
32:07
Speaker 2: he was upset. It was a heated exchange. And by
32:09
Speaker 2: the way, many a son not exactly a shrinking violet
32:13
Speaker 2: when it comes to attacking his opponents, right, so let's
32:16
Speaker 2: be clear about that. And then of course the reaction
32:19
Speaker 2: by CNN, of course was over the top, right, they
32:22
Speaker 2: had to come with a statement, but they said, hey,
32:25
Speaker 2: we don't accept bigotry, we don't want crossing the line
32:29
Speaker 2: of civility.
32:30
Speaker 4: And that hypocrisy is just so blatant. Like he said,
32:35
Speaker 4: he caught half the country fascist. That's fine, there's no
32:39
Speaker 4: problem with that. But they lose their minds over that
32:42
Speaker 4: little joke by Tony Hinchcliff about Puerto Rico.
32:45
Speaker 3: They're still talking about.
32:46
Speaker 4: That, and this joke about a beaper going off apparently
32:52
Speaker 4: is the worst thing that's ever happened on CNN, just
32:55
Speaker 4: on that Puerto Rico joke, which is still I can't
33:00
Speaker 4: believe I'm still hearing about it.
33:01
Speaker 3: Joe Biden has.
33:02
Speaker 4: Responded by calling half of America garbage.
33:06
Speaker 14: Or Puerto Rico. Where I'm in my home state of Delaware,
33:09
Speaker 14: they're good, decent, honorable people. The only garbage I see
33:13
Speaker 14: floating down there is his supporters.
33:15
Speaker 4: Joe isn't really helping camalaor in these moments.
33:18
Speaker 3: Is he mia. Do you think he realizes that he's doing.
33:22
Speaker 4: Damage to her cause at times? Or is it just
33:25
Speaker 4: a lucky accident. He has no idea what's happening?
33:28
Speaker 2: Does he He didn't realize anything? Come on, look, first
33:32
Speaker 2: of all, one comment, he's the president of the United States.
33:35
Speaker 2: You see the framing on that. I mean, who like
33:37
Speaker 2: It's like, literally, they're gonna use Sky News Australia's tech people.
33:42
Speaker 2: Those guys are first class. It's like he just sat there,
33:45
Speaker 2: no lighting, right, just no mic just threw the laptop up.
33:49
Speaker 2: Was horrible. No, here's a no anything. And finally I
33:52
Speaker 2: gotta say, I.
33:53
Speaker 3: Kind of like nice timing your great grandpa.
33:57
Speaker 2: Yes, oh no, great Grandpa's much I'm sure much more technical,
34:00
Speaker 2: savvy and competent than uncle joke. Look, Rita, at this point,
34:04
Speaker 2: I gotta blame you for elder abuse. Can you stop it?
34:06
Speaker 2: Can you leave the poor man alone? But you could
34:08
Speaker 2: you just told me what he said. The only reason
34:11
Speaker 2: I had to trust you because I couldn't understand the
34:13
Speaker 2: word he was saying. I listened to that clip five times.
34:18
Speaker 2: I had to slow it down. The guy cannot put
34:21
Speaker 2: a sentence together. It's terrible. Now, look, I know he
34:25
Speaker 2: was ripping on the garbage joke right by Puerto Rico
34:29
Speaker 2: and Hingecliff. I mean, look, was it a mistake to
34:32
Speaker 2: bring Hingecliff on? Of course it was, But he is
34:34
Speaker 2: an insult comic. It's what he does for a living.
34:37
Speaker 2: That joke was not out of bounds relative to what
34:40
Speaker 2: he normally says.
34:42
Speaker 7: This is.
34:42
Speaker 2: In fact, it was kind of tame Hinchle. That's kind
34:44
Speaker 2: of what he does for a living. Do I like it?
34:47
Speaker 2: Not particularly, certainly, not for an event like that. But
34:50
Speaker 2: at the end of the day, beyond the joke itself
34:53
Speaker 2: was watch a God. I got so much joy watching
34:57
Speaker 2: the media trying to make this a new cycle. Right.
35:01
Speaker 2: They spent an entire week talking about this. They were squeezing.
35:06
Speaker 2: So the trasque is much juice from a lemon that
35:08
Speaker 2: was essentially dry. But it's hilarious. Whitman do it? Yes?
35:12
Speaker 2: This is the party, the Democratic Party that calls for
35:15
Speaker 2: civility right calling half the country garbage. That's very civil,
35:19
Speaker 2: thanks Uncle Joe.
35:23
Speaker 4: They have tried to get mileage out of this joke.
35:26
Speaker 4: You know what I actually do like Tony Hinchcliff. I
35:29
Speaker 4: love his involvement in the Tom Brady roast. That was brutal,
35:33
Speaker 4: that was funny. I don't think it was a mistake.
35:36
Speaker 4: I don't see Latino as some hyper sensitive group that
35:40
Speaker 4: are going to change their vote based on a joke
35:43
Speaker 4: some dude, mate. It wasn't a joke that Trump utteroned
35:47
Speaker 4: he was from. And George Lopez made even a more
35:51
Speaker 4: offensive joke, arguably at a Kamala rally just a few
35:54
Speaker 4: days ago, suggesting that all Mexicans are thieves. I didn't
35:58
Speaker 4: see any meltdown after that at Now. I know you've
36:01
Speaker 4: been out there talking to people yourself, army, you hit
36:04
Speaker 4: the streets with your camera, and this time you're asking
36:08
Speaker 4: people to explain Kamala's speeches. So you would read out
36:13
Speaker 4: word for word what she has said and see if
36:16
Speaker 4: they could understand it.
36:17
Speaker 2: And you tell me, what the hell she's trying to say?
36:21
Speaker 18: Is that Kamala Harris.
36:22
Speaker 2: Yes, on top of everything else that we know and
36:26
Speaker 2: don't know, get based on what we've just been able
36:30
Speaker 2: to see. And because we've seen it or not doesn't
36:33
Speaker 2: mean it just happens for us at every moment in time,
36:39
Speaker 2: and certainly this one. To see the moment in time
36:42
Speaker 2: in which we exist in are present and to be
36:45
Speaker 2: able to contextualize it, to understand it. Will we exist
36:49
Speaker 2: in the history and the moment as it relates not
36:52
Speaker 2: with the past but the future. Do you want me
36:55
Speaker 2: to repeat.
36:55
Speaker 4: That you did try your best? But the good folk
37:01
Speaker 4: of Malcolm X Boulevard in Harlem couldn't decipher what Kamala
37:06
Speaker 4: was trying to say.
37:07
Speaker 2: Can you understand what she's trying to say?
37:09
Speaker 7: No?
37:10
Speaker 3: Yeah, for experiences?
37:12
Speaker 4: He tell me what you're trying to say?
37:15
Speaker 2: It might have been.
37:20
Speaker 6: I don't even know what that even means. You're Jewish?
37:23
Speaker 2: Oh wow, you're married?
37:27
Speaker 19: You know?
37:28
Speaker 14: Are you dating.
37:32
Speaker 2: Army?
37:32
Speaker 4: You're not supposed to use these vox pops to to
37:35
Speaker 4: drop up personal business for your dating life.
37:38
Speaker 3: That's not the point. But tell me about the experience there.
37:43
Speaker 3: What's the mood there?
37:44
Speaker 4: Are they going to back her regardless of the fact
37:47
Speaker 4: that she's a poor candidate because they hate Trump? Are
37:50
Speaker 4: they energized about voting or what was the vibe in Harlem?
37:55
Speaker 2: No? No, and no, yeah, no, they're not energized. These
38:02
Speaker 2: people aren't stupid. They're not saying, Hey, you're a black woman,
38:05
Speaker 2: therefore I should vote for you. Okay, that's not the
38:08
Speaker 2: way this thing works. She's dropping the ball when it
38:11
Speaker 2: comes to black community, and they know it's why they're
38:13
Speaker 2: in panic mode. Look, and I know that with the
38:16
Speaker 2: polling is saying on the black vote they're gonna get
38:18
Speaker 2: the biggest vote in the last sixty years, I think
38:21
Speaker 2: it might be bigger than that. I mean anecdotally, when
38:24
Speaker 2: I go out to the black community talking about Trump
38:26
Speaker 2: and Harris, not only is there not excitement about her,
38:31
Speaker 2: I just hear a lot of people say weren't over Trump.
38:33
Speaker 2: And right now the polling is saying fifty percent of
38:35
Speaker 2: black men, right twenty five percent of the entire black
38:39
Speaker 2: population is gonna is going to vote for Trump. That's
38:43
Speaker 2: it's a massive number. But I think, look this idea,
38:47
Speaker 2: and you know it's whole. Every time you say, oh,
38:49
Speaker 2: we're salad, this is not just white Republican men who
38:52
Speaker 2: say this thing. Right when I went out there and
38:54
Speaker 2: I started this the premise of this video by saying
38:58
Speaker 2: I'm gonna read you a quote and then you tell
39:00
Speaker 2: me who said it, they all jumped in and before
39:02
Speaker 2: I had a chance to even read the quote and
39:04
Speaker 2: go Kamala Harris, like they knew where this was going.
39:07
Speaker 2: They understand that she is so vapid that she just
39:11
Speaker 2: throws in a bunch of incongru's words and hopefully people
39:15
Speaker 2: will think she's smart. She's covering up. Does you just
39:17
Speaker 2: know what she's talking about? I and you and conservatives
39:20
Speaker 2: aren't the only person who noticed this. Everyone does, including
39:24
Speaker 2: black people. Look, when I do something, I do a video. Yes,
39:28
Speaker 2: it's funny, the comedy, the entertainment is just a delivery
39:32
Speaker 2: device for something more important. And what it's saying is
39:35
Speaker 2: they recognize what we have been saying in the conservative
39:39
Speaker 2: eco universe, even though they don't listen to us. Right,
39:41
Speaker 2: they're not really part of our eco universe. For the
39:43
Speaker 2: most part, they know what's going on because they're not dumb. Look,
39:47
Speaker 2: it is so gross how the Democratic Party takes for
39:53
Speaker 2: granted the black vote. I think black people finally saying
39:56
Speaker 2: we're done being taken for granted.
39:58
Speaker 4: Well, I do worry about some of the advice she's
40:02
Speaker 4: getting because there are those who are telling her. Look
40:05
Speaker 4: at the enormous audience Trump got with Joe Rogan, you
40:09
Speaker 4: should do Joe Rogan. Joe Rogan goes for three hours.
40:12
Speaker 4: They cover wide range of topics, over that time.
40:16
Speaker 3: If you were giving her.
40:17
Speaker 4: Advice, Jean, I think it would be a disaster.
40:21
Speaker 2: Don't know now. Look I would love her to go
40:25
Speaker 2: on and implode, but you know what, I'm begging her,
40:27
Speaker 2: don't do it. Look, I yes, I do not want
40:30
Speaker 2: you to win, and if you go on there, you'll
40:32
Speaker 2: destroy yourself. But please don't do it. It's going to
40:34
Speaker 2: be too painful for the entire country. I'm begging you.
40:36
Speaker 2: I'm giving you solid advice here. Do not do it.
40:40
Speaker 2: Do yourself a favor. You can't handle it.
40:44
Speaker 4: That is solid advice. Indeed, Army Horowitz, thank you for
40:47
Speaker 4: your time. This evening is your pleasure still to come.
40:51
Speaker 4: The unhinged hysteria around Trump's Madison Square Garden rally continues.
40:57
Speaker 3: I'll speak to a young Australian man there. You're watching
41:10
Speaker 3: the Raid of panehy show.
41:11
Speaker 4: Joining me now is Federal Affairs Associate and Americans for
41:14
Speaker 4: Tax Reform Barklay mcgaina.
41:18
Speaker 9: You were at.
41:18
Speaker 3: Trump's Madison Square Garden rally.
41:21
Speaker 4: The left wing media and the Democrats have completely lost
41:25
Speaker 4: their minds over this rally. That have compared it to
41:28
Speaker 4: a pro Nazi rally. They're calling everyone one who attended
41:32
Speaker 4: fascists and basically they've lost their grip on reality.
41:39
Speaker 5: Donald Trump's got this big rally going at Madison Square Garden.
41:44
Speaker 5: There's a direct parallel to a big rally that happened
41:46
Speaker 5: in the mid nineteen thirties at Madison Square Garden. And
41:50
Speaker 5: don't think that he doesn't know for one second exactly
41:52
Speaker 5: what they're doing there.
41:54
Speaker 16: People said that this was like reminiscent of the supremacist
41:58
Speaker 16: rally in nineteen thirty every cherry Nazis.
42:00
Speaker 2: I think that it lived up to that.
42:03
Speaker 15: Trump actually re enacting the Madison Square Garden rally in
42:11
Speaker 15: nineteen thirty.
42:12
Speaker 18: Nine, Nazi ralli's in the thirties at Madison Square gardens.
42:15
Speaker 2: Do you compare that?
42:16
Speaker 6: Do you find that a similar comparison.
42:19
Speaker 22: Listen, this election is in seven days, and I think
42:22
Speaker 22: the American people have a very clear choice. And on
42:26
Speaker 22: the one hand, you have Donald Trump who is constantly
42:29
Speaker 22: fanning the flames of division and hate.
42:32
Speaker 4: The Democrats are claiming that the rally was so hate
42:36
Speaker 4: field and divisive that it has actually become a determining
42:39
Speaker 4: factor in how Americans are going to vote. Here's Harris
42:43
Speaker 4: campaign's senior advisor, David Pooth.
42:46
Speaker 23: These people are saying, I wasn't sure how I was
42:49
Speaker 23: going to vote. Now I'm voting for Kamala Harris. So
42:52
Speaker 23: it was a huge mistake. But here's what I've learned
42:55
Speaker 23: in politics, things that really hurt you are things that
42:58
Speaker 23: are consistent with what people may already think about you.
43:01
Speaker 23: So that chaos and that heat and that division, for
43:05
Speaker 23: a lot of voters, they say, that's what I'm worried.
43:07
Speaker 3: About, Barclay.
43:09
Speaker 4: You were there for the entire six seven hours. Was
43:12
Speaker 4: it full of hate and fascist talking points and reminiscent
43:17
Speaker 4: of some sort of Nazi get together?
43:21
Speaker 19: Yeah, high reader and hello viewers. If it was a reenactment,
43:24
Speaker 19: it was an awful re enactment. I'm someone who grew
43:28
Speaker 19: up in Australia my entire life, and going to New
43:30
Speaker 19: York City for this rally was a major culture shock.
43:34
Speaker 19: And not only that, I've never seen more Israeli flags
43:38
Speaker 19: in my life. Indeed, New York is known as the
43:41
Speaker 19: melting Pot. Indeed, a lot of Puerto Ricans probably attended
43:45
Speaker 19: this rally, people from all diverse points of background, and
43:49
Speaker 19: they came from all around the country really to see
43:53
Speaker 19: what I believe will be the next president of the
43:55
Speaker 19: United States. So the kind of slander that we're seeing
43:57
Speaker 19: from Kamala Harris, Tim Walls and the Democrat So I think,
44:00
Speaker 19: really sure is that desperate they are and that's what
44:03
Speaker 19: it amounts to.
44:04
Speaker 3: Really, Yeah, I think you hit the nail on the
44:08
Speaker 3: head there. It's desperation.
44:09
Speaker 4: It's we're days away and this is what they've got
44:12
Speaker 4: to cling on to. And while they're having their meltdown,
44:17
Speaker 4: the right side of politics is just mocking them. Watch
44:19
Speaker 4: this clip of Hitler watching this so called Nazi rally
44:24
Speaker 4: at Madison Square Garden.
44:36
Speaker 2: The Democrats that Trump is a Nazi.
44:38
Speaker 16: Trump did nothing wrong, he supports the Jewish community.
44:48
Speaker 15: Fell down, worst Nazi rally ever, barklay so many Jewish
45:04
Speaker 15: people there, black people, brown people, all those star of
45:08
Speaker 15: David's on the Israeli flager.
45:10
Speaker 3: And yet they're.
45:11
Speaker 4: Continuing with this narrative about this being some hate field,
45:16
Speaker 4: anti Semitic event.
45:19
Speaker 19: Yeah, I think more or less, it just seems to
45:21
Speaker 19: be quite a distraction. What they're attempting to do is
45:23
Speaker 19: they're attempting to distract from the bad record of Kamala
45:26
Speaker 19: Harris in office. And when Donald Trump took to the stage,
45:29
Speaker 19: the first thing he said, it was crystal clear, are
45:32
Speaker 19: you better off right now than you were four years
45:35
Speaker 19: ago when I left office? And absolutely no American can
45:38
Speaker 19: say that they are in a better position now. With
45:41
Speaker 19: rising interest rates, rising inflation, medium household income is going
45:45
Speaker 19: down as well, the stock market is not performing that well,
45:48
Speaker 19: no one can say that they are in a better position.
45:51
Speaker 19: And you know, Kamala Harris has brought on Tim Wallas. Recently,
45:54
Speaker 19: the Cato Institute released the report of all of the
45:56
Speaker 19: governors and how they went about raising taxes or reducing
46:00
Speaker 19: taxes in their state. To Wores, being the governor of Minnesota,
46:03
Speaker 19: he got a straight f And you can bet that
46:06
Speaker 19: when he assumes they're all of vice president, if Carma
46:08
Speaker 19: Harris is to be elected, he will very much continue
46:11
Speaker 19: that big government growth record. So this election is going
46:14
Speaker 19: to be very critical, and as you can see, they're
46:16
Speaker 19: bringing out all the stops, all the labels, all the
46:19
Speaker 19: smears to try and deter Trump from returning to the
46:22
Speaker 19: White House.
46:25
Speaker 3: That season.
46:26
Speaker 4: I think we're going to see more of these manufactured
46:29
Speaker 4: outrages in the next six seven days, because that's all
46:33
Speaker 4: they have. Barclay McGain, thank you so much for your time,
46:36
Speaker 4: and that's all the time I've got tonight, folks. I'll
46:39
Speaker 4: see you at eleven tomorrow with Douglas Murray.
46:43
Speaker 3: Up next is Newsnight.
