Speaker 1: On Scoe Lis Oustrodio. This is the Reader Panalty Show.
0:08
Speaker 2: Good evening and welcome to the Rita Panekey Show. Coming
0:11
Speaker 2: up tonight, secret talks among labor powerbrokers to replace Jacinta
0:16
Speaker 2: Allen as Victorian premiere. Get my panel's reaction to that,
0:20
Speaker 2: and the day's other top headlines. The Brilliant Josh Hammer
0:23
Speaker 2: will have the latest from the US, including a YouTuber
0:26
Speaker 2: exposing mass fraud in California this time, and Kinsey Schofield
0:32
Speaker 2: is back and she has the latest on Prince Harry
0:34
Speaker 2: and Meghan Markles falling out with Netflix and we never
0:38
Speaker 2: forget Left He's losing it. Tonight we featured this confession
0:42
Speaker 2: from Hollywood actor Jerry O'Connell, who explains he got beat
0:46
Speaker 2: up on election night.
0:48
Speaker 3: My wife and daughters without saying anything, became became physical
0:56
Speaker 3: with me. They were they were filled with reage.
1:03
Speaker 2: But let's start with labor powerbrokers reportedly holding secret talks
1:08
Speaker 2: about replacing Premier Jacin to Allen. The Herald Son has
1:13
Speaker 2: revealed that key figures in Allan's socialist Left faction have
1:16
Speaker 2: canvassed a potential leadership change with a member of the
1:20
Speaker 2: party's rival right faction. Over a dozen senior sources across
1:24
Speaker 2: both factions have confirmed that serious talks are underway. Gabrielle
1:29
Speaker 2: Williams is the left faction's most likely alternative leader, while
1:33
Speaker 2: figures on the right say Deputy Premier Ben Carroll is
1:37
Speaker 2: more likely to be backed in the event of a spill.
1:40
Speaker 2: Figures within the party are concerned the premier has become
1:44
Speaker 2: a liability, saying she is the anchor weighing down Labour's
1:48
Speaker 2: primary vote. According to a Demo's a U poll commissioned
1:53
Speaker 2: by The Herald's son, the premier's net approval rating has
1:57
Speaker 2: now slumped to negative thirty seven percent.
2:01
Speaker 4: I mean to give you an idea of how bad
2:03
Speaker 4: that it is.
2:04
Speaker 2: Every other state premier enjoys net positive approval ratings. Internal
2:10
Speaker 2: polling suggests Labor could lose as many as twenty.
2:13
Speaker 4: Seats if an election were held today.
2:16
Speaker 2: Joining me now is former president of the Victorian Liberal
2:19
Speaker 2: Party Michael Kroger and Sky News contributor Pro McSwain Michael Jacinta.
2:24
Speaker 2: Allen was foisted upon the Victorian electorate by Labor.
2:29
Speaker 4: She was Dan Andrew's pick.
2:32
Speaker 2: What are the chances that she won't be there at
2:35
Speaker 2: the state election in November.
2:37
Speaker 1: Reader, I think it's.
2:38
Speaker 5: A very big likelihood by give her the chop. You've
2:40
Speaker 5: just been through the polling ratings. She's a drag on
2:42
Speaker 5: Labour's vote. She's a drag on the vote in her
2:45
Speaker 5: own seat, of course, and it's very hard to go
2:47
Speaker 5: for another term. You know, this is that that will
2:49
Speaker 5: be going for their fourth term. She's been in parliament,
2:52
Speaker 5: believe it not since nineteen ninety nine, last century. So
2:55
Speaker 5: what's that twenty seven years almost? If you add up
2:58
Speaker 5: the cell pad what she's been paid over eight million
3:02
Speaker 5: dollars during her parliamentary career. Victoria is bankrupt, Victoria is lawless.
3:08
Speaker 5: It's a chaotic, chaotic mess. And of course, after those
3:12
Speaker 5: ratings that you've just seen, her colleagues are thinking, you
3:16
Speaker 5: know it's time to give her the boot and put
3:18
Speaker 5: someone else in now, you know. Sure it's anything Reader
3:22
Speaker 5: that a legal like hers on the way out when
3:23
Speaker 5: everyone comes to them says, I know she's fantastic. We
3:26
Speaker 5: we fully support her, and the two the two rivals
3:30
Speaker 5: are I say, no, we're we're you know, we're with her.
3:32
Speaker 1: It's like you know when the when.
3:34
Speaker 5: The football club committee says we're behind the coach, you know,
3:36
Speaker 5: the coach as soon as they're getting the job.
3:41
Speaker 2: Yes, when they get the full backing of the board,
3:43
Speaker 2: you know that. Yeah, sacking is eminent. Ah now prove
3:48
Speaker 2: Victoria is. And it pains me to say this because
3:52
Speaker 2: I am a proud Victorian. But the state is struggling
3:55
Speaker 2: on every metric you can think of, whether we're looking
3:58
Speaker 2: at the state taxes, the debt, the vacancy rates in
4:03
Speaker 2: CBD offices, there's just so many metrics where we are
4:07
Speaker 2: trailing the country. We've become a bit of a laughing
4:10
Speaker 2: stock proof for the rest of the country.
4:14
Speaker 6: Sadly you have.
4:16
Speaker 7: And the problem is that they kept part of the reason.
4:20
Speaker 7: I think that people look at Victorians and think, what
4:23
Speaker 7: the hell were you thinking?
4:24
Speaker 6: They kept voting labor back.
4:27
Speaker 7: In after the Andrews experiment, the Andrews debarcle to hand Allan.
4:34
Speaker 7: You know this, I would have thought a poison chalice,
4:37
Speaker 7: but it wasn't. It was a perfumed one. She got
4:39
Speaker 7: to go, and you know it looks like she could maybe.
4:43
Speaker 7: I don't think she's going to survive this. I think
4:45
Speaker 7: that the greatest motivator for politicians is self interest, and
4:49
Speaker 7: I think her colleagues have read the room.
4:52
Speaker 6: But you know, when you look at what a basket.
4:54
Speaker 7: Case that Melbourne is, you just have to say, look,
4:57
Speaker 7: why would anyone want to stay living there? Why wouldn't you?
5:01
Speaker 7: Why would you move there? Why would you buy or
5:03
Speaker 7: invest in there or start a business. It's just to
5:07
Speaker 7: me a drag, an anchor drag on the whole of
5:10
Speaker 7: the Australian economy.
5:13
Speaker 2: Well, Michael, Deputy Premier Ben Carroll is said to be
5:18
Speaker 2: a front runner to replace just into Alan. He's on
5:21
Speaker 2: the right faction and the left faction, the socialist left
5:25
Speaker 2: faction dominates Victorian Labor. What's the likelihood that, out of
5:30
Speaker 2: self interest has Preu said they're going to back someone
5:33
Speaker 2: like Ben Carroll? And I think he is a formidable politician.
5:37
Speaker 2: I think if he was leader, Labor will probably get
5:40
Speaker 2: another term.
5:41
Speaker 5: Wow, Well, he's more far more formidable than the current
5:45
Speaker 5: premier or Gabrielle Williams, who's the other.
5:48
Speaker 1: Social left person.
5:50
Speaker 5: Yes, you know, Carol's got that Chris Minn sort of
5:53
Speaker 5: look about him, middle a more is looking, speaks well,
5:58
Speaker 5: et cetera, et cetera. So he'd be electorally more formidable
6:02
Speaker 5: for us to fight, even though I think, you know
6:04
Speaker 5: it's fifty to fifty the election here at present.
6:07
Speaker 1: However, for that to happen, reader, the left of the
6:10
Speaker 1: Labor Party have to agree to gift.
6:12
Speaker 5: The premier's position to someone in the other faction, and
6:16
Speaker 5: you know it's unlikely to happen. So I would think
6:19
Speaker 5: if someone's going to take over, it's probably more likely
6:22
Speaker 5: to be that Gabrielle Williams, who know one of Victoria's
6:24
Speaker 5: ever heard of, by the way, rather than Ben Carroll,
6:28
Speaker 5: and she'll she'll be much easy to beat then Carroll
6:31
Speaker 5: would if they were to go to him. But I
6:33
Speaker 5: don't you know that, I might be wrong. I doubt
6:35
Speaker 5: they'll go to him because he's in the wrong faction.
6:39
Speaker 4: He's in the wrong faction.
6:40
Speaker 2: He had to fight to get that deputy position, you
6:43
Speaker 2: might recall, because he had to really stand up to
6:46
Speaker 2: Dan Andrews on that final day, because they did try
6:48
Speaker 2: to railroad him and have two socialist left factions in
6:52
Speaker 2: the leadership team and he had to fight for it.
6:56
Speaker 2: But yeah, if they go with Gabrielle Williams, I think
6:58
Speaker 2: she'll have a bit of a bounce, She'll have a
6:59
Speaker 2: bit of a honeymoon period whilst people get to know her.
7:03
Speaker 2: But yeah, she seems to be cut from the same
7:06
Speaker 2: cloth as just into Alan. Now let's stay in Victoria
7:10
Speaker 2: and residents will soon be stripped of their right to
7:13
Speaker 2: object to apartments up to six stories high in an
7:16
Speaker 2: effort to meet the state's failing housing targets. Locals will
7:21
Speaker 2: be barred from objecting to developments that meet a set
7:24
Speaker 2: of twenty six standards and don't exceed specified height limits
7:29
Speaker 2: in a beat to avoid lengthy VCAT delays and speed
7:33
Speaker 2: up the supply of housing. Michael, the Allen government is
7:36
Speaker 2: on track to miss its ten year housing targets.
7:40
Speaker 4: They're going to miss it easily.
7:42
Speaker 2: This new plan will see mid rise developments that meet
7:46
Speaker 2: the requirements immediately approved and that's going to start next month.
7:50
Speaker 2: This is going to cause absolute havoc and so many
7:55
Speaker 2: suburbs across Melbourne.
7:58
Speaker 5: You never want in residential suburbs owners to have no
8:04
Speaker 5: ride of appeal against new developments next door across the
8:08
Speaker 5: road nearby.
8:09
Speaker 1: You never want that.
8:10
Speaker 5: But they're desperate now because as you said, the housing
8:13
Speaker 5: targets through miss for years and in Victoria it is
8:15
Speaker 5: such a mess here to get a permit to build
8:18
Speaker 5: a single house. It'll take you six months to get
8:21
Speaker 5: a planning permit through the council. And then of course
8:24
Speaker 5: people can object and VCAT, which is our objection body.
8:28
Speaker 5: Appeals body can take up to two years to hear
8:30
Speaker 5: an objection. So this is what's drowning Victoria in you
8:35
Speaker 5: incapacity two years to get an approval, up to two
8:38
Speaker 5: years to get approval to build something here in Victoria.
8:40
Speaker 5: That's why it is such a That's why the housing
8:43
Speaker 5: target is so bad. That's why the Allen government of
8:46
Speaker 5: now panicked and said, look, we've got to stop these
8:47
Speaker 5: appeals because they're clogging up a system. Yes we've known
8:50
Speaker 5: that for years, but they've done nothing about it, Rita,
8:53
Speaker 5: and that's why they pull this desperate card in in
8:56
Speaker 5: an attempt to get something again Victoria. Because you know, housing,
8:59
Speaker 5: like most other things Victoria's it's been.
9:01
Speaker 1: A basket case.
9:03
Speaker 2: It's been a basket case, and so much of it
9:06
Speaker 2: is completely self inflicted. They have made it so unattractive
9:10
Speaker 2: for investors, for developers, the taxes are crazy. So, as
9:16
Speaker 2: Preu said earlier, why would you invest in Victoria when
9:19
Speaker 2: you've got other options across the country. Where it's just
9:22
Speaker 2: a lot more sensible. You look at the land tax rates,
9:27
Speaker 2: look at the conditions, the tendency laws. Why would you
9:32
Speaker 2: invest in Victorian residential real estate under the current system.
9:37
Speaker 2: Now let's talk about the petrol crisis. Prime Minister Anthony
9:40
Speaker 2: Alberanezi called a national Cabinet meeting to coordinate federal and
9:44
Speaker 2: state responses to the fallout from the conflict in Iran.
9:49
Speaker 2: The PM announced the appointment of Anthea Harris as the
9:53
Speaker 2: National Fuel Supply Task Force Coordinator. She is the former
9:56
Speaker 2: head of the Australia Energy Regulator. He said Australia is
10:01
Speaker 2: well prepared for the Middle East conflict, but he wants
10:04
Speaker 2: to be over prepared. But we've already got over thirty
10:08
Speaker 2: petrol stations across the state being reported as being out
10:12
Speaker 2: of petrol. This is according to fuel check data. Michael
10:17
Speaker 2: Anthony Alberanezi is saying this crisis in the Middle East
10:21
Speaker 2: was the third global shock this decade and Australia had
10:24
Speaker 2: to atop a new economic model for a change world.
10:28
Speaker 2: But this fuel shortage, surely we need to be better
10:33
Speaker 2: prepared for it. How can we already have petrol stations
10:36
Speaker 2: that have run out of fuel even in metropolitan areas.
10:40
Speaker 1: Yeah, of course we should have been better repared.
10:43
Speaker 5: People have been signaling for months that there might be
10:45
Speaker 5: a war in the Middle East. So you know, everyone
10:48
Speaker 5: was warned because you know of Iran's behavior with.
10:52
Speaker 1: Their proxies over the years.
10:55
Speaker 5: That having been said, of course, prices are going to
10:58
Speaker 5: go up, and ultimately there will be sure during the war.
11:02
Speaker 1: You know, this is.
11:02
Speaker 5: World War three, reader, That's the way I look at it.
11:04
Speaker 5: This is World War three being brought out in Iran.
11:08
Speaker 5: This is not a skirmish of a frolic of his
11:11
Speaker 5: own by Donald Trump and Benjamint Yahu.
11:14
Speaker 1: This is World War three being.
11:15
Speaker 5: Fought in Iran for the future of the civilized world,
11:18
Speaker 5: to kill off Islamik terrorism, Islami extremism which emanates out
11:22
Speaker 5: of Iran and all of the Arab nations in the
11:25
Speaker 5: Middle East. They're all supporting the Americans and the Israelis.
11:28
Speaker 5: Iran is basically friendless. They've got the Chinese, the North
11:31
Speaker 5: Koreans and the Russians. Russians, well, if they're the people
11:34
Speaker 5: who are inviting your birthday party, you know you don't
11:36
Speaker 5: have many friends.
11:37
Speaker 1: And that's the Iran. That's the Iranian position. But so yes,
11:41
Speaker 1: there's going to be a.
11:42
Speaker 5: Shortage you hear down the track if this war keeps
11:44
Speaker 5: going on. But there were petrol shortages in World War Two.
11:47
Speaker 5: This is not the first time this will happen. And
11:49
Speaker 5: let's be frank, you know, long term it's going.
11:53
Speaker 1: To be worth it.
11:54
Speaker 5: If they get rid of the ragym in Iran, the
11:56
Speaker 5: world will be a much more peaceful place and we
11:59
Speaker 5: can go back to live in normality and not have
12:02
Speaker 5: offshoots this Arraignean regime Firebob synagogues in Melbourne and bakeries
12:07
Speaker 5: in Sydney.
12:10
Speaker 8: Oh.
12:10
Speaker 2: Absolutely, We've got to look at this in the medium
12:13
Speaker 2: and long term. It seems all the focuses in the
12:16
Speaker 2: short term pain, but prue. This fuel shortage is spreading
12:20
Speaker 2: across the country, going from regional New South Wales, for example,
12:24
Speaker 2: to metropolitan areas. The Daily Telegraph spoke with nine service
12:29
Speaker 2: station retailers across western and northwestern Sydney who said they
12:32
Speaker 2: had either completely run out of petrol or were very
12:36
Speaker 2: close to running dry. The attendant at the Epping seven
12:40
Speaker 2: eleven petrol station told the Telegraph they were still waiting
12:43
Speaker 2: for their delivery from Monday and it could be another
12:46
Speaker 2: twenty four hours away, Prue.
12:48
Speaker 4: Has I'm worried about panic buying.
12:51
Speaker 2: We saw that during COVID and that will just add
12:55
Speaker 2: to these shortages. If people go to the petrol station
12:59
Speaker 2: with fifty Jerry cans to have their own personal supply
13:04
Speaker 2: in case there is no.
13:05
Speaker 6: Petrol, well that's a point, Rita.
13:08
Speaker 7: But you know, the thing that really gets to me
13:11
Speaker 7: is that we have been lied to. You know, Bowen
13:14
Speaker 7: sits there in Parliament and lies and says there's no crisis,
13:19
Speaker 7: that we have plenty of fuel.
13:21
Speaker 6: The fuel's being delivered to the regions when it's the
13:24
Speaker 6: wrong fuel. It's not diesel.
13:26
Speaker 7: So we're going to end up in a situation where
13:29
Speaker 7: we're going to have empty tankers, empty shelves, empty pockets,
13:34
Speaker 7: businesses going broke because this country has not been run properly.
13:40
Speaker 6: I mean, successive governments have.
13:42
Speaker 7: Not honored the International Energy Agency agreement where you're supposed
13:45
Speaker 7: to have a mandatory ninety days worth of fuel. We
13:49
Speaker 7: haven't actually met that commitment since I think twenty twelve
13:53
Speaker 7: or something.
13:53
Speaker 6: I mean, we end blind.
13:55
Speaker 7: Freddie could see that with the kind of energy policy
13:58
Speaker 7: that labor has been inflicting on us that we were
14:03
Speaker 7: always going to be headed for a full This war
14:05
Speaker 7: has really made everybody understand the implications and the need
14:10
Speaker 7: for proper energy supply, and we don't have that in
14:14
Speaker 7: this country. Labor successfully has brainwashed people. What I find
14:19
Speaker 7: fascinating is that be careful what you look, you know
14:22
Speaker 7: you wish for, because suddenly all these climate change evangelists
14:26
Speaker 7: are seeing what it really means when you don't have
14:30
Speaker 7: reliable energy supply. And as for this task force, it's
14:34
Speaker 7: just a pr exercise. This woman, this Harris woman, was
14:38
Speaker 7: the CEO of the Climate Change Authority. She's just a
14:41
Speaker 7: labor mate appointed to just you know, pay lip service
14:47
Speaker 7: do with the government's bidding. We all know that we've
14:50
Speaker 7: been lied to, that this country has been robbed of
14:53
Speaker 7: its security, its national security, and while Labor's in power,
14:58
Speaker 7: and while Bowen's in power, it's going to continue.
15:02
Speaker 2: That is a very good point there, Michael. We are
15:06
Speaker 2: so dependent now on other countries. We could be energy independent.
15:11
Speaker 2: We're blessed with every natural resource, but we've closed down
15:15
Speaker 2: the refineries, we've stopped mining, we've limited gas exploration, and
15:21
Speaker 2: you have a crisis in the Middle East, and we've
15:24
Speaker 2: got petrol stations running out and we have become so
15:27
Speaker 2: dependent on other nations.
15:31
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's a great irony, isn't it, Reader, that we've
15:34
Speaker 5: the government have employed someone, as pre said, from the
15:37
Speaker 5: Climate Change of Authority all places because we're living petrol
15:41
Speaker 5: shortage I mean, is believe itble and and look, you
15:48
Speaker 5: know what what experience has this person got in logistics?
15:52
Speaker 1: Prus? Right? This is just another labor hack that they've
15:54
Speaker 1: dragged out.
15:55
Speaker 5: Of another government job to deal with you know, farmers,
16:00
Speaker 5: rural Australia, et cetera, et cetera. No, they needed someone
16:03
Speaker 5: with an expertise in logistics from Fox or Toll or
16:07
Speaker 5: one of our major logistics operations to do this type
16:10
Speaker 5: of job, not just a labor mate, not just a
16:12
Speaker 5: labor hack.
16:14
Speaker 1: And do I think do a good job. No, I
16:16
Speaker 1: wouldn't think so.
16:17
Speaker 5: And I don't think anyone in rural Australia would have
16:19
Speaker 5: confidence someone from the Change Authority.
16:23
Speaker 1: You know, looking looking up where we may have you.
16:26
Speaker 5: Know, shortages of petrol and diesel of course, which is
16:30
Speaker 5: the Climate Change Authority is one of their greatest evils
16:33
Speaker 5: is diesel fuel.
16:34
Speaker 1: They hate diesel fuel. And she's in charge of delivery.
16:38
Speaker 2: Well you go, figure, Well, we're not just going to
16:42
Speaker 2: have a feel shortage energy crisis. We're looking at food
16:46
Speaker 2: shortages if this continues and there's not some sort of
16:50
Speaker 2: a plan B that comes into play very quickly. Now
16:53
Speaker 2: before you go, King Charles's flagship youth charity has decided
16:57
Speaker 2: to cancel a fitness course for disadviceage girls instead of
17:01
Speaker 2: preventing biological males from attending. The Daily Mail reports that
17:05
Speaker 2: the course for girls age sixteen to twenty five was
17:09
Speaker 2: open to and I quote female identifying presenting people, and
17:15
Speaker 2: after a concerned parent contacted the charity to raise safeguarding
17:19
Speaker 2: concerns around biological men punching teenage girls, well perue, instead
17:24
Speaker 2: of limiting the course to girls and women, the King's
17:27
Speaker 2: Trust decided to cancel the whole thing. Obviously, that's so
17:31
Speaker 2: scared of being accused of transphobia, I guess in this instance,
17:36
Speaker 2: I mean, this is supposed to be for disadvantaged girls.
17:39
Speaker 7: Well it's insane, and you know, perhaps King Charles wasn't
17:43
Speaker 7: even consulted, but they would have known that he's so woke,
17:46
Speaker 7: you know. Sadly, King Charles is a very woke representative
17:52
Speaker 7: of the Crown, and so they probably figured that he'd
17:55
Speaker 7: quite like it. So they're doing maybe not his bidding,
17:58
Speaker 7: but they're, you know, sure looking for some sort of
18:01
Speaker 7: a salutation from him or something. It's unbelievable, it is, yes,
18:07
Speaker 7: and their efforts to be supposedly inclusive, they're basically excluding
18:12
Speaker 7: these impoverished girls and young women from taking part in
18:16
Speaker 7: this event.
18:17
Speaker 4: Michael Krogo, pri McSween, thank you so much for your time.
18:22
Speaker 4: Still to come.
18:23
Speaker 2: Left Is Losing It plus the latest from the US,
18:26
Speaker 2: including a YouTuber exposing mass fraud in California, the brilliant
18:32
Speaker 2: Josh Hammer.
18:32
Speaker 4: As the details.
18:45
Speaker 2: You're watching the Reader Paney Show and it's time for
18:48
Speaker 2: Lefties Losing It. And what I'm about to show you is,
18:51
Speaker 2: I've got to say a little bit sad. I know
18:54
Speaker 2: we have a laugh on this segment, but sometimes the dysfunction,
18:58
Speaker 2: the hate, the coward of the modern left as well
19:01
Speaker 2: a little depressing. Even a leftist as blessed as Hollywood
19:05
Speaker 2: actor Jerry O'Connell, good looking, rich, successful, but utterly divorce
19:10
Speaker 2: from reality. First let's look at him establish his democrat credentials.
19:16
Speaker 3: I went to a Kamala Harris rally my wife and
19:20
Speaker 3: I donated to the campaign and Meghan the stallion plant.
19:25
Speaker 3: And that was pretty pretty snapic, Bill, if you were there,
19:30
Speaker 3: I mean, it really invigorated like excitement.
19:32
Speaker 9: And really invigorated the people who are already going to
19:34
Speaker 9: vote for her anyway. That's who we invigorated.
19:37
Speaker 4: Now I'm about to show you the sad part.
19:40
Speaker 2: This rich, attractive, successful dude has failed as a man.
19:45
Speaker 2: His own family, his wife and daughters physically attacked him
19:50
Speaker 2: on election night for not being sufficiently pro Kamala. Watch
19:55
Speaker 2: how terrified he is at the prospect of speaking his mind,
19:59
Speaker 2: he self said, answering and being so pitifully weak that
20:03
Speaker 2: even fellow lifty Bill Ma has to have a go
20:06
Speaker 2: at him.
20:07
Speaker 3: And I'll be honest with you, I didn't think Trump
20:08
Speaker 3: was gonna win. I live in California. I didn't think
20:11
Speaker 3: he was going to win. What I was here, I
20:12
Speaker 3: didn't either. I think this is where I live, you know.
20:19
Speaker 3: I said something along the lines of like there was
20:24
Speaker 3: no planning, this is what they get. There should have
20:27
Speaker 3: been a primary. I said something along those lines, you know,
20:30
Speaker 3: like I was just spitballing ideas as to it was
20:32
Speaker 3: a shock. You know, my wife and daughters without saying anything,
20:41
Speaker 3: became became physical with me.
20:45
Speaker 1: They were.
20:48
Speaker 3: They were filled with rage. So if I am being
20:54
Speaker 3: careful with you in how I say things, Yes, I
20:57
Speaker 3: live in California. I live with not one, not two,
21:00
Speaker 3: but three people who if I need any kind of joke,
21:07
Speaker 3: they would They become very angry with me, you know.
21:11
Speaker 9: I Well, so I don't want to tell you how
21:13
Speaker 9: to live your life, but I couldn't live that way.
21:16
Speaker 9: I would whatever household or ever situation I'm in, I
21:20
Speaker 9: say what I truly think, and if it makes you angry,
21:22
Speaker 9: I'm sorry.
21:23
Speaker 1: We'll have to work that out.
21:24
Speaker 9: Well, it makes sense, but I am not going to
21:26
Speaker 9: tuck my tail between my legs and just shut them up.
21:29
Speaker 9: This is what you were dealing with when you were
21:31
Speaker 9: a child. Just sit there and don't say anything.
21:34
Speaker 4: Ah, just pitiful. Wake.
21:37
Speaker 2: Now, let's check in on an awful that's an affluent
21:40
Speaker 2: white female leftist who has delusions of victim wood.
21:45
Speaker 10: Of less rights than I did when he became president.
21:48
Speaker 10: And I shouldn't have less rights than I used to.
21:54
Speaker 10: I shouldn't have different rights than my husband has in
21:57
Speaker 10: fifty stakes, and I should how to provide a plethora
22:01
Speaker 10: of other documentation to get an ID because I got married,
22:07
Speaker 10: because I've changed my name. It's just shipping away at us,
22:12
Speaker 10: little by little until we don't realize where I'm cooked.
22:17
Speaker 4: There you have it.
22:18
Speaker 2: Republicans have it in for marriage now apparently that they're
22:21
Speaker 2: coming for married women. Yeah, right now, this is the
22:24
Speaker 2: opposite of an awful Here we have a brave, principal,
22:28
Speaker 2: logical British woman, Connie Shaw, who clearly has endless reserves
22:33
Speaker 2: of patients which she is. She tries and tries again
22:37
Speaker 2: to get some sense from a transactivist holding a union banner.
22:41
Speaker 11: Do you support women if she was going through the
22:43
Speaker 11: fact that she'd been assaulted in a single sex space
22:46
Speaker 11: by a male person?
22:49
Speaker 6: I know you wouldn't.
22:50
Speaker 11: You wouldn't help a woman who was a member of
22:52
Speaker 11: your union if she had been raped in a single
22:54
Speaker 11: sex space for women by man. Trans women are women,
22:58
Speaker 11: even if they reape other women. Trans women are women,
23:01
Speaker 11: even rapists.
23:03
Speaker 1: Women commit crimes, But women.
23:06
Speaker 4: Was is right?
23:07
Speaker 11: And a woman? What makes them women? Trans women and women?
23:12
Speaker 11: And you've got no explanation for what makes them women
23:15
Speaker 11: is in the name. Well, I'm looking for a definition,
23:19
Speaker 11: not a circular argument.
23:20
Speaker 3: Trans women and women.
23:22
Speaker 11: Do you see how that's a circular definition. Would you
23:26
Speaker 11: like to explain why transmen are women?
23:28
Speaker 6: Really?
23:31
Speaker 2: That's all they have projection, empty words and circular arguments.
23:36
Speaker 2: Watch now as this a coward has other activists come
23:40
Speaker 2: in to physically obstruct Connie Shaw from asking any more
23:44
Speaker 2: uncomfortable questions.
23:47
Speaker 12: Trans rights to human rights?
23:48
Speaker 11: What about women's rights to single sex spaces?
23:52
Speaker 1: Trans rights to human rights?
23:53
Speaker 11: So you don't believe that women have the rights to
23:55
Speaker 11: get unchanged away from the presence of men.
24:02
Speaker 2: Now to a man who should be awarded the pull
24:04
Speaker 2: It surprise IFA media awards actually meant anything these days.
24:08
Speaker 2: Here is Nick Shirley, who blew apart the depths of
24:12
Speaker 2: fraud in Minnesota, concentrated in the Somali community. Well, Nick
24:16
Speaker 2: Shirley is in La now, and the scale of the
24:19
Speaker 2: fraud there is even worse.
24:21
Speaker 4: What he saw in La is incredible.
24:24
Speaker 2: Here he is of what looks like a former motel
24:26
Speaker 2: which is allegedly running thirty fake hospice businesses.
24:31
Speaker 13: We have Angels of Valley Hospice, we have angels of Heaven,
24:35
Speaker 13: angels of peace, light of angels. Yet the BMW's one
24:43
Speaker 13: right here, one right there two brand new Mercedes over there.
24:48
Speaker 13: It just is unbelievable the amount of money that these
24:51
Speaker 13: people are making, and they're not even trying to hate it.
24:54
Speaker 2: And while in Minnesota we had fake daycare centers that
24:58
Speaker 2: had no children enrolled, in LA, he found children in
25:02
Speaker 2: daycare centers, but there were no adults around.
25:05
Speaker 14: Talk to the adult. Not here. So you guys all
25:11
Speaker 14: by yourself. No one's here. Okay, So you guys are
25:21
Speaker 14: all by yourself. Okay, yeah, okay, that's concerning.
25:29
Speaker 2: That is concerning. Let's bring in Newsweek's senior editor at large,
25:33
Speaker 2: Josh Hammer. Josh, tell me about this focus.
25:37
Speaker 4: On LA now on California in general.
25:40
Speaker 2: Surely it can't be as diabolical as what we saw
25:44
Speaker 2: in Minnesota.
25:46
Speaker 15: Well, it's quite bad. I mean, envision reader Minnesota on steroids.
25:49
Speaker 15: That's basically what California is. California is essentially democratic governance
25:53
Speaker 15: on steroids. It's been that way for a very long time. Unfortunately,
25:57
Speaker 15: it's reached something of a low point under Gavin Newsom.
26:00
Speaker 15: I get I guess we'll see if you can get
26:02
Speaker 15: even lower in the future. Democrat comminatorial administration in Sacramento
26:07
Speaker 15: far beeven me to predict that, but I frankly probably
26:10
Speaker 15: could get even worse than this. It centers around Medicare
26:13
Speaker 15: and Medicaid fraud. That's why doctor Oz, the former television
26:17
Speaker 15: star who is now the head of the Center for
26:19
Speaker 15: Medicare and Medicaid Services, he's been at the formal administrative
26:23
Speaker 15: Center exposing a lot of these issues out in Los
26:25
Speaker 15: Angeles County. According to the receipts, Los Angeles County, California,
26:29
Speaker 15: is single handlely responsible for somewhere between fifteen and twenty percent,
26:33
Speaker 15: if memory serves of the Medicare related quote unquote payments
26:39
Speaker 15: in America, which doesn't actually make sense. It's a large
26:43
Speaker 15: kind of bit, but it's only one county. So the
26:46
Speaker 15: administration is sorted starting to expose some of this fraud.
26:48
Speaker 15: Nick Shirley and others are on the ground trying to
26:50
Speaker 15: expose more with it. Surely continues to do a lot
26:52
Speaker 15: of really solid investigative work. When it comes to this,
26:54
Speaker 15: he's basically just showing up with a camera. Read it's
26:57
Speaker 15: really not exactly the worth that you need PhD in
27:01
Speaker 15: filmmaking to do. It's it's really kind of just very
27:05
Speaker 15: entrepreneur all type stuff there. My hat off to him
27:07
Speaker 15: for doing this, and we'll see where goes.
27:08
Speaker 2: I guess, Josh, let's hear from doctor Memetta Oz you
27:12
Speaker 2: mentioned him. Is that President Trump's administrator for the Centers
27:16
Speaker 2: for Medicare and Medicaid service. Here is what he had
27:20
Speaker 2: to say about fraud in LA.
27:22
Speaker 16: One hundred million dollars. You get the national numbers that
27:25
Speaker 16: you just highlighted. You have states red and blue who
27:28
Speaker 16: are suffering because the rules we relax and weak, and
27:31
Speaker 16: folks frausters took advantage of them. But we're on to them,
27:34
Speaker 16: and we're going out to not just autism, which is
27:36
Speaker 16: of course a heinous way to steal money from the
27:40
Speaker 16: American taxpayer, but you're also going in for home health
27:42
Speaker 16: care that's unnecessary, hospice care. John California has one third
27:47
Speaker 16: of forget how Los Angeles, the city of Los Angeles,
27:51
Speaker 16: the county around it is one third of all hospite
27:53
Speaker 16: centers in the entire country. Is everyone dying in Los Angeles?
27:56
Speaker 3: There's some possible.
27:57
Speaker 2: Numbers, that's what you were talking about, And then they
28:00
Speaker 2: do seem like impossible numbers. How can LA alone have
28:06
Speaker 2: one third of all the hospice centers in the entire country.
28:11
Speaker 15: Yeah, so that's I mean, that's shocking you to me. Rie,
28:13
Speaker 15: I actually had not heard that exact statistic about one
28:16
Speaker 15: third of hot centers. I mean, what I had seen
28:18
Speaker 15: is fifteen to twenty percent of autism related centers things
28:21
Speaker 15: like that there, I mean one third of Look. LA
28:24
Speaker 15: is a big city. It has a declining population. Actually,
28:27
Speaker 15: in fact, that's probably going to decline even more. It
28:29
Speaker 15: probably will get to your past. Actually, it's the nation's
28:31
Speaker 15: second largest city if current trends hold by a place
28:33
Speaker 15: like a like a Phoenix, Arizona or Houston, Texas potentially
28:36
Speaker 15: in the next ten to fifteen years. So we'll see
28:38
Speaker 15: how that goes. But still there are there are a
28:40
Speaker 15: lot of people in La. But no, there are not
28:42
Speaker 15: one third of older people who need hospice. That is
28:46
Speaker 15: facially absurd. And the median American looks that and starts
28:50
Speaker 15: scratching his or her head and says, this cannot possibly
28:53
Speaker 15: be right. What on earth happened here? And what happened
28:55
Speaker 15: here is that these blue jurisdictions at best turn a
28:59
Speaker 15: blind eye to rampant fraud, to rampant welfare fraud, the
29:03
Speaker 15: very welfare of that The Democratic Party has institutionally structurally
29:06
Speaker 15: put in place in America, going back to the Lyndon
29:08
Speaker 15: Johnson Great Society in the nineteen sixties and many programs
29:12
Speaker 15: that build on top of that since then. There So
29:13
Speaker 15: they start the welfare state and now they are bilking
29:16
Speaker 15: the federal taxpayer via the welfare state. Is something that
29:18
Speaker 15: they've been been doing for a very, very long time.
29:21
Speaker 15: And I guess one of the many benefits of having
29:24
Speaker 15: this current administration in power is that they are no
29:26
Speaker 15: longer actually turning a blind eye to it personally read it.
29:29
Speaker 15: What I would like to know is I would like
29:30
Speaker 15: to know the extent to which the Biden administration in
29:33
Speaker 15: particular was complicit in this. Were they aiding and am
29:36
Speaker 15: betting this? Surely Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. Kamala Harris
29:39
Speaker 15: is a Californian herself. What's not forget there. She has
29:42
Speaker 15: a very long relationship with Gavin Newsom.
29:44
Speaker 1: There.
29:45
Speaker 15: I'll be curious to know what did Kamala Harris know
29:47
Speaker 15: about this fraud in Los Angeles County and when did
29:50
Speaker 15: you know? That would be the top of my list
29:52
Speaker 15: of questions.
29:54
Speaker 2: And you've got Kamala Harris and Gavin Newsome the front
29:57
Speaker 2: runners for the Democratic CA presidential candidacy in twenty twenty eight.
30:03
Speaker 2: I mean, that is the best they have at the moment.
30:05
Speaker 2: And have a look at California to see how well
30:08
Speaker 2: that's going.
30:09
Speaker 4: Now.
30:10
Speaker 2: I saw a piece you wrote for the La Times,
30:12
Speaker 2: a fantastic piece on what victory would look like for
30:17
Speaker 2: the US in the Iran War. Tell me why you
30:20
Speaker 2: see this war as fitting the America First agenda and
30:26
Speaker 2: when and how can the Trump administration exit this conflict?
30:32
Speaker 15: Sure, so this war is nothing that came by surprise.
30:35
Speaker 15: There are a lot of folks that are saying this
30:37
Speaker 15: is not what Donald Trump campaigned on.
30:38
Speaker 8: One.
30:39
Speaker 15: He campaigned on ending forever wars, and so he did so,
30:42
Speaker 15: he absolutely did. But the framing is our reader. I
30:45
Speaker 15: don't have to be the one to tell you that
30:47
Speaker 15: the Irani regime has been at war with the United
30:50
Speaker 15: States and the West, but really above all, possibly the
30:52
Speaker 15: United States for forty seven years. How do I know
30:55
Speaker 15: that because they literally chanted every single day, because they're
30:58
Speaker 15: very first at the Solutionary's very first act back in
31:02
Speaker 15: the Jimmy Carter presidents in ninety seventy nine was to
31:04
Speaker 15: storm the United States embassy that was their first act.
31:07
Speaker 15: They held the Americans hostage for four in to forty
31:09
Speaker 15: four days. They have not stopped killing Americans ever since then,
31:12
Speaker 15: from the Hezbola Beayiru Barracks bombings back in nineteen eighty three,
31:16
Speaker 15: all the way to the roadside IEDs in I Rock,
31:18
Speaker 15: from Kasain Sulimani until most recently the attempt to assassinate
31:23
Speaker 15: Donald Trump on our own soil, for which a Pakistan
31:25
Speaker 15: national was actually just recently convicted here in federal court.
31:28
Speaker 15: So they've been doing this for a very, very very
31:30
Speaker 15: long time. So the war has been waged against United States,
31:34
Speaker 15: whether Americans think about it or whether we want to
31:37
Speaker 15: acknowledge it or not. The only difference is that Donald
31:39
Speaker 15: Trump is a man who is finally, finally, finally actually
31:42
Speaker 15: addressing this head on. He's not interested in kicking the
31:44
Speaker 15: can down the road like prior presidents have been doing
31:47
Speaker 15: for forty seven years and counting there now. He's not
31:50
Speaker 15: going to drab this on forever. It's not going to
31:52
Speaker 15: be in interminable a Rock or Afghanistan like conflicts. He
31:55
Speaker 15: has no interest in trying to sculpt the Jeffersonian or
31:57
Speaker 15: Lockey and liberal democracy there in Iran. Rather, the goal
32:01
Speaker 15: of Operation Epic Fury from an American national interest, therefore
32:05
Speaker 15: a maga American first perspective. The the goal here is
32:09
Speaker 15: to neutralize the ason Republic of Iran as a threat
32:13
Speaker 15: to the United States and our interests. We already come
32:15
Speaker 15: a pretty far away on that. The task is not
32:17
Speaker 15: yet completed there, but that is that is the goal
32:20
Speaker 15: on its own terms. When that goal has been met,
32:22
Speaker 15: and it's it's it's mentally a debate as to exactly
32:25
Speaker 15: how to judge that that goal. But when that goals met,
32:28
Speaker 15: this operation can can be finished. Now the ideal situation,
32:32
Speaker 15: the ideal goal, of course, is for the United States
32:34
Speaker 15: and our Israeli allies to lay the conditions for the
32:37
Speaker 15: run In people to take matters into their own hands,
32:40
Speaker 15: and to actually make sure that this most horrific of
32:42
Speaker 15: regimes goes to the hellish ashtep of history where it
32:45
Speaker 15: so ritually belongs there. But while that is the ideal scenario,
32:48
Speaker 15: that is not necessarily the strict necessary criteria in my
32:53
Speaker 15: estimation for this operation succeeding on its own terms, The
32:55
Speaker 15: operation from our perspective here in the US is a
32:58
Speaker 15: success when the the nation of Iran is no longer
33:02
Speaker 15: a threat to the United States. Ideally, that's regime change,
33:04
Speaker 15: but I think it's at least theoretically possible, or something
33:07
Speaker 15: subtly less than I'm thinking here along the lines of
33:08
Speaker 15: the Venezuela model, where you have a Delsa Rodriguez type figure,
33:12
Speaker 15: someone who is technically on paper of the regime, but
33:16
Speaker 15: she's he or she is basically just doing the biddings
33:18
Speaker 15: of the United States.
33:19
Speaker 2: And in reality, if that doesn't happen, if the regime
33:25
Speaker 2: manages to hold on for weeks, months, and we've got
33:30
Speaker 2: the midterms looming, how will that factor into the equation.
33:35
Speaker 2: Because this is a conflict you would think the president
33:38
Speaker 2: would like to wrap up well before the midterms.
33:43
Speaker 15: It's a great question, and I think certainly Republicans would
33:47
Speaker 15: prefer that this would be wound up sooner rather than later.
33:50
Speaker 15: I think no one wants to head into into August, September,
33:53
Speaker 15: October with a month long campaign in the Middle East
33:57
Speaker 15: front the center for voters. The big question comes to
34:00
Speaker 15: the price of oil. What is going to happen here
34:02
Speaker 15: When it comes to oil, energy is com of the
34:04
Speaker 15: mother's milk of prices. More generally, if you buy any goods,
34:07
Speaker 15: if you purchase food the supermarkets, it's it's all downstream
34:09
Speaker 15: of energy because those goods were transported there on tankers,
34:12
Speaker 15: on airplanes, on trucks. It literally all comes from energy.
34:16
Speaker 15: So wherever the oil markets are, I think it's going
34:18
Speaker 15: to be the number one factor here. And oil has spiked,
34:21
Speaker 15: It hasn't spiked quite as much as people, I think,
34:23
Speaker 15: in many ways thought it would because America is now
34:24
Speaker 15: the role's number one exporter actually of oil and natural gas.
34:27
Speaker 15: So let's see what happens with the Street of Horror Moves.
34:29
Speaker 15: And I guess Trump's message to our NATO quote unquote
34:33
Speaker 15: allies is pretty clear, which is, you guys should help us.
34:35
Speaker 15: You guys should help us secure the Street of Horror Moves,
34:37
Speaker 15: which is this twenty one mile choke point that iron
34:40
Speaker 15: controls there. Make sure the energy flows there. Frankly, he
34:43
Speaker 15: can say the cure starmer Manual coronandius guys there. You know,
34:46
Speaker 15: you guys should care about the price of gas, just
34:48
Speaker 15: like we should. Guess what, we all drive cars, we
34:50
Speaker 15: all fly on planes there. So it's Trump thus far
34:53
Speaker 15: has not, I apparently, been able to convince our veryfeckless,
34:57
Speaker 15: weak minded European quote unquote allies join us on this
35:01
Speaker 15: particular mission, but God willing to read a delgat done
35:03
Speaker 15: and I think any midterm implications will be a suage
35:06
Speaker 15: if that happens.
35:09
Speaker 4: Now.
35:09
Speaker 2: A top counter terrorism official, Joe Kent, has resigned over
35:14
Speaker 2: the war with Iran. He claims that Israel has misled
35:18
Speaker 2: President Donald Trump into this conflict.
35:21
Speaker 4: But Josh, despite.
35:22
Speaker 2: Claims that the war is splitting MAGA, the polls say otherwise.
35:28
Speaker 4: Here is CNN.
35:29
Speaker 17: You know, sometimes you look at the polling data and
35:31
Speaker 17: there are numbers that just jump off the screen at you.
35:34
Speaker 1: And this is one of those. Because just take a look.
35:37
Speaker 17: Here, MAGA GOP a view of Trump approve one hundred percent,
35:42
Speaker 17: one hundred percent. If you are a member of MAGA
35:45
Speaker 17: and the GOP you approve of Donald John Trump zero
35:50
Speaker 17: percent say that they disapprove.
35:52
Speaker 6: You don't have to be.
35:53
Speaker 17: A mathematical genius to know you can't go higher than
35:56
Speaker 17: one hundred percent. Here is the nineteen hundred and seventy
35:58
Speaker 17: two Miami doph Oh.
36:00
Speaker 2: Gosh, I love seeing those poll numbers on CNN of
36:03
Speaker 2: all places. But we keep hearing about the magabase being
36:08
Speaker 2: spleet the America First agenda being in tatters and Republicans
36:14
Speaker 2: being upset with the president, But like, the polling is
36:18
Speaker 2: fairly consistent, and that one is pretty emphatic.
36:20
Speaker 15: Josh, Yeah, the polling is very consistent. So that's up
36:26
Speaker 15: the thumbs up thumbs down. When it comes to MAGA
36:28
Speaker 15: approof of Donald Trump, the polling on the specific run
36:31
Speaker 15: Operation Reader among self described Mac Republicans is pretty unanimous.
36:34
Speaker 15: Across the board as well, anywhere between eighty percent and
36:37
Speaker 15: ninety percent of mag Republicans support President Trump's crusade against
36:42
Speaker 15: the Iranian regime. This is really not a matter of doubt. Now,
36:44
Speaker 15: you would think that it is a matter of some
36:46
Speaker 15: question listening to people like Tucker Carlson and Candice Owens
36:49
Speaker 15: and unfortunately these days increasingly making Kelly as well, and
36:52
Speaker 15: it's just not the case. It is simply not true
36:54
Speaker 15: that this is a matter of debate among self identified
36:57
Speaker 15: mag Republicans, which of course raised the question as to
36:59
Speaker 15: why there are some podcasters like the ones I just
37:02
Speaker 15: mentioned who want to make it seem like there is
37:04
Speaker 15: a very lively debate and perhaps that that's a conversation
37:07
Speaker 15: from the for another day In my estimation rita, it
37:09
Speaker 15: comes to twenty twenty eight and attempting to define what
37:12
Speaker 15: the American right looks like post Donald Trump. But for
37:16
Speaker 15: now I think we can say, to Joe Kent, who
37:18
Speaker 15: was on this week, good freaking riddance, because, as Donald
37:21
Speaker 15: Trump himself said of the Oval Office when he was
37:23
Speaker 15: asked by reporter, if you don't consider Aram a threat
37:26
Speaker 15: to the United States, you should not be working for
37:29
Speaker 15: the United States government's period, full stop, end of story.
37:31
Speaker 15: In fact, Joe Kent ran to Tucker Carlson's show immediately,
37:35
Speaker 15: very predictable, of course, to give his very first post
37:38
Speaker 15: resignation interview, and in this interview he actually I was
37:42
Speaker 15: shocked to see this. He actually said that the Irani regime,
37:44
Speaker 15: come many years ago, issued a fatwah so a schiied
37:49
Speaker 15: Islamic ruling saying that the Islamic regime there cannot under
37:53
Speaker 15: Islamic law ever get nuclear weapons, which he never did.
37:57
Speaker 15: This is literally pro Tehran at Jiprop. That's been sementy
38:00
Speaker 15: across Western media for decades. But he felt for this
38:02
Speaker 15: hook line and sinker. This was the former director of
38:05
Speaker 15: the counter Terrorism Center within the Office of the Director
38:09
Speaker 15: of National intelligence. So the relephant question read we should
38:12
Speaker 15: be asking here is how the heck did this guy
38:14
Speaker 15: get his job in the first place. That's what I'm
38:16
Speaker 15: trying to figure out.
38:19
Speaker 4: Josh Hamma, thank you so much for your time tonight,
38:22
Speaker 4: you bet.
38:22
Speaker 2: Thanks for still to come, We'll get the latest on
38:25
Speaker 2: Prince Harry and Meghan Markles falling out with Netflix. Kinsey
38:29
Speaker 2: Schofield it joins me next, welcome back, joining me now
38:42
Speaker 2: celebrity and royal commentator Kinsey Schofield. Kinsey, we have a
38:45
Speaker 2: lot to talk about, a lot of royal news. But
38:48
Speaker 2: before we get into that, let's check in on so
38:51
Speaker 2: called country music star Maren Morris. I've got to say
38:55
Speaker 2: never heard of her, and I like country music. She's
38:58
Speaker 2: previously labeled a genre as toxic, and she's a blasted
39:03
Speaker 2: Donald Trump and his supporters In this video we're about
39:06
Speaker 2: to show you, it's quite a rant.
39:10
Speaker 8: He is a dementia written, diaper clad cornball.
39:16
Speaker 4: X TV host.
39:18
Speaker 8: You voted for this and you got them boozled, and
39:21
Speaker 8: I get it. Like Fox News is a propaganda machine
39:25
Speaker 8: of just like cocoa melon brain rot for boomers, but
39:30
Speaker 8: like this is literally the result of employing and voting
39:39
Speaker 8: for losers, and Pete Hegsath, Oh my god, girl, his
39:47
Speaker 8: alcoholic sideburns.
39:48
Speaker 4: You're done, you know what.
39:49
Speaker 2: I've never heard of her, but she's got those crazy eyes, Kinsey,
39:53
Speaker 2: These these mad ranchers that film themselves always, I've got
39:58
Speaker 2: the crazy eyes.
39:59
Speaker 4: And she's also said.
40:00
Speaker 2: That she will never forgive her fellow Americans who voted
40:04
Speaker 2: for President Trump.
40:07
Speaker 18: I mean, I have heard of her, and I can
40:09
Speaker 18: tell you that I don't think this woman's ever had
40:11
Speaker 18: a good day. Anytime I do hear about her, she's complaining.
40:16
Speaker 18: She is a miserable human being. Look, Maren Morris, she
40:20
Speaker 18: built her brand inside country music and then spent years
40:23
Speaker 18: criticizing the very audience that sustained her. At some point,
40:28
Speaker 18: that disconnect catches up. Insulting millions of Americans, including supporters
40:33
Speaker 18: of Donald Trump might generate headlines, but it is not
40:37
Speaker 18: a long term career strategy. In fact, I'd argue that
40:40
Speaker 18: it's alienation.
40:43
Speaker 2: M Yeah, it's not very clever, But then you see
40:48
Speaker 2: that constantly in the celebrity world, don't you.
40:50
Speaker 4: You saw it at the Oscars.
40:52
Speaker 2: Where these actors are quite happy to alienate at least
40:56
Speaker 2: half the country with their political posturing seems to be
41:01
Speaker 2: a price they're willing to pay, perhaps because it really
41:04
Speaker 2: isn't a price because the entertainment industry is dominated by
41:07
Speaker 2: the left.
41:09
Speaker 18: No, that's a very good point. But she I will
41:12
Speaker 18: say with Merin Morris, it's been a roller coaster because
41:15
Speaker 18: she was temporarily shunned when she talked about the country
41:18
Speaker 18: music industry being toxic. I don't know how she wormed
41:22
Speaker 18: her way back in. I think they felt sorry for
41:24
Speaker 18: her after her divorce. But she's back to, you know, complaining.
41:30
Speaker 2: Well, you know what, she should put that in a song,
41:33
Speaker 2: because you know that's.
41:34
Speaker 4: A tire genre.
41:36
Speaker 2: Subgenre of country music is just whining about your life.
41:40
Speaker 4: So yeah, put it into song.
41:42
Speaker 2: Now we're hearing more about Prince Harry and Megan Michael's
41:46
Speaker 2: falling out with NETFLIXX. Variety magazine has spoken to six insiders,
41:51
Speaker 2: and it appears the streaming giants disenchantment with the couple
41:56
Speaker 2: is not a recent phenomenon.
41:57
Speaker 4: Kinsey, I'm shocked.
41:58
Speaker 2: I'm shocked to read that the Sussex's may be difficult
42:01
Speaker 2: to deal with.
42:04
Speaker 18: So do you remember when Variety gave Megan Markle their
42:07
Speaker 18: magazine cover right after Queen Elizabeth died, she allegedly kept
42:12
Speaker 18: a few pieces. I kept a few outfits from that shoot.
42:14
Speaker 18: We actually saw it regurgitated in as Ever promotion, So
42:18
Speaker 18: it's wild to see Variety go after them. My favorite
42:21
Speaker 18: story from this piece, Rita, is that when Megan would
42:24
Speaker 18: get upset during Netflix's zoom calls, she would just log out.
42:30
Speaker 18: She would sign out, and then like the marketing team
42:33
Speaker 18: would get reprimanded over something that Megan overheard on the
42:36
Speaker 18: zoom call, Like are you six years old to just
42:40
Speaker 18: storm out of a meeting when you don't agree with something?
42:43
Speaker 18: There are several other revelations in this Variety piece about that.
42:47
Speaker 18: But yet, like you said, are we surprised that these
42:49
Speaker 18: two are difficult to collaborate with? Absolutely not, after six
42:54
Speaker 18: years of failure after failure.
42:56
Speaker 2: No, Well, if there weren't families con't with them, I
43:00
Speaker 2: think that's a pretty good sign that that may have
43:03
Speaker 2: some issues now. Investigative journalist Tom Bauer has penned a
43:08
Speaker 2: new book about the Sussexes called Betrayal, Powered Deceit, and
43:12
Speaker 2: the Fight for the Future of the Royal Family, and boy,
43:16
Speaker 2: they're not happy about that. One of the many topics
43:19
Speaker 2: covered in the book is the turmoil at Prince Harry's
43:21
Speaker 2: former charity and why his coup against its African chairwoman failed. Kinsey,
43:28
Speaker 2: that was a difficult period for the Prince.
43:32
Speaker 18: Well, and let me just tell you, if you read
43:35
Speaker 18: between the lines of Tom Bauer's new book, it's clear
43:38
Speaker 18: that either he spoke directly to doctor Sophi Shandaka or
43:43
Speaker 18: someone that is intimately close to doctor Sulphi Shundaka. But
43:47
Speaker 18: he's known for that deep sourcing, and what he's outlating
43:50
Speaker 18: here is a pattern with Santabale. Prince Harry traded to
43:53
Speaker 18: a certain control and he misread the room. Losing that
43:58
Speaker 18: internal battleicularly against leadership on the ground in Africa, is
44:03
Speaker 18: reputationally damaging because it undermines his credibility as a humanitarian,
44:08
Speaker 18: which he's been really pushing lately to try to save Feace.
44:14
Speaker 2: Now, let's check in on Prince William and Princess Catherine.
44:18
Speaker 2: Last week they made some surprise stops around London, including
44:21
Speaker 2: the Borough Market, where Kate served her husband and other
44:25
Speaker 2: market goers coffee at the Change Please Social Enterprise Store.
44:30
Speaker 4: Have a look, William.
44:42
Speaker 2: One Kinsey, They're just likable. I've got to say when
44:47
Speaker 2: you see clips like that. Despite the enormous privilege obviously
44:51
Speaker 2: they have, particularly Prince William from the moment of his birth,
44:55
Speaker 2: they're relatable and likable.
44:58
Speaker 11: Oh, you're so right.
44:59
Speaker 18: I mean it's authenticity, which is I think the other
45:02
Speaker 18: couple completely lax. But with Catherine and Prince William, I
45:06
Speaker 18: think that they understand that visibility matters when it comes
45:09
Speaker 18: to the royal family, but so does tone and pouring
45:14
Speaker 18: coffee and chatting with people. Those are low stakes, high
45:17
Speaker 18: impact moments that reinforce their likability without feeling performative. And
45:24
Speaker 18: I think that we all got to kick out of
45:25
Speaker 18: some of the videos that we saw coming out of
45:28
Speaker 18: Burrow Market last week. They were just so cute, so precious.
45:31
Speaker 18: They were clearly enjoying themselves.
45:34
Speaker 4: Absolutely, but we.
45:35
Speaker 2: Have seen others try to mimic this sort of strategy
45:39
Speaker 2: and they don't appear authentic, even when they're doing everyday
45:42
Speaker 2: things that should come naturally. It seems so fake. But
45:47
Speaker 2: you mentioned the videos out of this market visit. This
45:50
Speaker 2: was got to be my favorite. This is Prince William
45:53
Speaker 2: taking a phone call at a Cornish bakery from a
45:56
Speaker 2: customer whose name he thought was Juicy.
46:00
Speaker 12: Do you want to take an order from you, I
46:07
Speaker 12: can do that. I got plenty of Just be some
46:12
Speaker 12: fresh ones now, and what name is that?
46:19
Speaker 1: Juicy? Sorry, Jesus.
46:29
Speaker 4: Kinsey.
46:30
Speaker 2: I watched that whole thing and it went on for
46:33
Speaker 2: some time. That was a lot lengthy order and a
46:36
Speaker 2: phone call, and at no point did it reveal to
46:40
Speaker 2: the caller who it was on the other end.
46:42
Speaker 4: They thought they were just talking to some Uh.
46:45
Speaker 18: I don't know, Piemaker, right, I mean, I have to
46:49
Speaker 18: be honest with you. I'm going to know if Prince
46:51
Speaker 18: William's on the other line, and I'm going to lose
46:53
Speaker 18: my mind. But Josie was completely oblivious, unaware. She just
46:58
Speaker 18: wanted her power. I know I'm pronouncing that wrong, but yeah,
47:03
Speaker 18: I thought that that was such a cute video too.
47:05
Speaker 18: Again with the authenticity, again with the you know, I
47:10
Speaker 18: just think he's going to be such a great king
47:12
Speaker 18: one day. And I'm not saying that to disparage King Charles.
47:15
Speaker 18: I just say that because he is so down to earth,
47:18
Speaker 18: and we never ever ever got that from King Charles.
47:22
Speaker 18: King Charles is from a different generation. He was always
47:25
Speaker 18: a little stuffy, God love him, and Prince William just
47:28
Speaker 18: he always he hits the mark.
47:31
Speaker 4: Now let's talk about our Nicole.
47:34
Speaker 2: Fresh details about Nicole Kidman split from Keith Urban Kidman
47:38
Speaker 2: confidants have revealed the humiliating details of a spat between
47:42
Speaker 2: the pair and the reason why their daughter Sunday Royce
47:46
Speaker 2: snubbed her father Kinsey. Oh have you tell us about that?
47:50
Speaker 2: But I've got to say she's never looked better. Nicole
47:53
Speaker 2: was absolutely stunning at the Oscars.
47:56
Speaker 18: Oh my gosh, her waist in that dress. And we
47:59
Speaker 18: you know, I was with it group. We were doing
48:00
Speaker 18: Oscar commentary and we were talking about how Keith will
48:03
Speaker 18: never have this lifestyle again with Nicole, Like, look at
48:07
Speaker 18: what he's thrown away. He's chasing after these twenty year
48:10
Speaker 18: olds that are playing a House of Blues gigs Enjoy.
48:13
Speaker 18: But yeah, so I agree Nicole looks phenomenal, you know,
48:17
Speaker 18: but it in classic Hollywood personal turmoil unfolding behind a
48:23
Speaker 18: very polished public image. I mean, if these reports are accurate,
48:26
Speaker 18: it suggests Keith really wanted to live the single life
48:30
Speaker 18: and is having and we've discussed this between you and I,
48:34
Speaker 18: a midlife crisis. Some friends around him are saying it
48:37
Speaker 18: appears to be a midlife crisis Since the split, sources
48:41
Speaker 18: say he's turned into a totally different person and that
48:44
Speaker 18: Nicole doesn't even know him anymore. She doesn't even recognize
48:47
Speaker 18: who he is. But apparently he was numb over an
48:51
Speaker 18: interview his daughter gave to an outlet where she talked
48:54
Speaker 18: about how she was so inspired by her mother and
48:57
Speaker 18: completely ignored her father's presence, and that apparently devastated him.
49:04
Speaker 2: Now, before you go, the Spice Girls have reportedly canceled
49:08
Speaker 2: their highly anticipated thirtieth anniversary reunion.
49:11
Speaker 4: I hope this.
49:12
Speaker 2: News is not right, that the reports are the Victoria Beckham,
49:15
Speaker 2: Melanie Brown and Melanie Chisholm are the ones who failed
49:19
Speaker 2: to reach an agreement in time, Kinsey. If this is accurate,
49:24
Speaker 2: it's going to be devastating for gen X women everywhere.
49:27
Speaker 2: Are the egos just too big amongst this group?
49:31
Speaker 18: Look, I think that if we want to end the
49:33
Speaker 18: war in Ukraine, we get the Spice Girls back together.
49:36
Speaker 18: Trump promised us that he was going to end the war,
49:39
Speaker 18: and all he has to do I think is make
49:40
Speaker 18: five phone calls. Okay, but yeah, you know, they're all
49:43
Speaker 18: they've all, they've all made brands for themselves. I'm sure
49:46
Speaker 18: it is difficult to coordinate with that many high profile
49:49
Speaker 18: personalities and different priorities and business interests. But please, for
49:53
Speaker 18: the love of God, give us what we want, give
49:55
Speaker 18: us what we need. World peace and that's a Spice
49:58
Speaker 18: Girl reunion.
50:01
Speaker 2: Kinsis Goophiel. Thank you so much for your time, and
50:03
Speaker 2: that's all the time we have.
50:06
Speaker 4: Don't go anywhere. Newsnight is up next
