  Speaker 3: Good evening and welcome to the Rita Paney Show.
• 0:11
  Speaker 4: Coming up tonight, Jim Chalmers Cementsi's place in Australian history
• 0:15
  Speaker 4: as the country's highest ever taxing treasurer. My panel will
• 0:19
  Speaker 4: cover that.
• 0:20
  Speaker 3: In the day's other top headlines.
• 0:22
  Speaker 4: Antoinette Lutoff goes back to the ABC after a legal
• 0:25
  Speaker 4: battle with a national broadcaster, Diddy Dunlevy. We'll have all
• 0:29
  Speaker 4: your entertainment news. John Heindereika will bring us the latest

  Speaker 4: from the US, including President Trump's unprecedented move concerning his
• 0:38
  Speaker 4: trip to China.
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: And we have a new guest on the program.
• 0:41
  Speaker 4: Stella Escabido will join us discuss the failing state that
• 0:46
  Speaker 4: is California. Plenty of lessons there for Australia and Left
• 0:50
  Speaker 4: He's losing It features Sidney Sweeney's character in Euphoria, sending
• 0:55
  Speaker 4: the Left into fits of unbridled outrage.
• 1:00
  Speaker 5: Today wan to see that he wants a girlfriend that
• 1:02
  Speaker 5: can cocker clean. You might as well be screaming the enword.
• 1:06
  Speaker 6: Okay, well, you sound like a Democrat.
• 1:10
  Speaker 5: I'm not retorded.
• 1:13
  Speaker 4: But first to the budget, which has a cemented Jim
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: Chalmers place in Australian history. Yes, he is the highest
• 1:20
  Speaker 4: ever income taxing Treasurer budget paper figures show that the
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: total income tax as a share of GDP will hit
• 1:27
  Speaker 4: eighteen point six percent in twenty twenty five, twenty six
• 1:31
  Speaker 4: and twenty six twenty seven, staying at similarly high levels
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: for the next three years. Changes to capital gains, negative
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: gearing and trusts will raise more than one hundred billion
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: dollars over the next ten years, but all of that
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: revenue will come in after the next two financial years.
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: The Treasurer declared that his budget is aimed at tackling
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: into generational challenges by reforming the tax system for workers,
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: businesses and future generations. But former Treasurer Peter Costello told
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: The Australian newspaper the revenue from these tax changes will
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: not be going to young Australians. It will go into
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: more spending and disappear as debt rises. Far from being
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: apologetic about this failure and dealing with the spending problem,
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: the current government seeks to distract attention with talk of
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: generational clashes.
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: Joining me now for more on this.
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: As former Labor MP Michael Danby and Sky News contributor
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: Louise Roberts.
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: Louise, these changes.
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: They're not going to address intergenerational inequity, Labour's favorite new term.
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: In fact, you could argue it will entrench it with
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: young people unable to access the investment tools that we
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: had and generations before them had.
• 2:48
  Speaker 7: That's right. So really, instead of addressing this intergenerational equity,
• 2:52
  Speaker 7: it's set off warfare between kids and their parents because
• 2:56
  Speaker 7: now the younger generations have someone to blame, and that's
• 2:58
  Speaker 7: a mom and dad investors, it's the it's the people
• 3:00
  Speaker 7: who spent a lifetime paying tax and are now apparently
• 3:04
  Speaker 7: to blame for the housing supply and the reason that
• 3:07
  Speaker 7: kids can't get into the property market. So it's an
• 3:09
  Speaker 7: obscene delivery of family warfare. And I never really thought
• 3:13
  Speaker 7: i'd see the Labor Party go after the family unit
• 3:16
  Speaker 7: in this way. And you're absolutely right, because by reducing
• 3:19
  Speaker 7: the amount of investment properties and the amount of rental supply,
• 3:22
  Speaker 7: that's only going to hurt young people. It's going to
• 3:24
  Speaker 7: drive up the price of rents and they're already struggling
• 3:27
  Speaker 7: to fund a deposit or save or pay their way around.
• 3:32
  Speaker 7: And it's had the opposite effect, and I was looking
• 3:35
  Speaker 7: at the Prime Minister's social media where he was talking
• 3:38
  Speaker 7: about we're making it easy for people to get into
• 3:40
  Speaker 7: the market. We want to make things fair. They've done
• 3:43
  Speaker 7: the exact opposite. And are we surprised.
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: Probably not. It's depressing, not surprised.
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: And Michael New Zealand tried this tom foolery. We've tried
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: it before in this country. It has not gone well.
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: As Luise pointed out, what happens is rents, sky rocket
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: and all sorts of other unintended consequences.
• 4:03
  Speaker 8: Well, Keating dropped it after eighteen months and the current
• 4:09
  Speaker 8: government in New Zealand dropped it. And I think it
• 4:11
  Speaker 8: was one of the reasons that they were elected as
• 4:16
  Speaker 8: a policy difference between them and the Adern mob. I
• 4:20
  Speaker 8: wouldn't like to have hung around my neck the placa
• 4:24
  Speaker 8: that you just hung around Jim chalmers neck is the
• 4:26
  Speaker 8: highest axing treasurer in Australia. It's not a thing you'd
• 4:29
  Speaker 8: like to go into history with. And I think this
• 4:31
  Speaker 8: Cruelsy's bid to be the successor after Elbow, and it
• 4:37
  Speaker 8: gives the Liberals the policy issues which if they fight.
• 4:43
  Speaker 8: I'm telling you I have personal experience from the fringe
• 4:46
  Speaker 8: benefits tax of there being lots of fifty sixty year
• 4:50
  Speaker 8: old principles ex policeman, who will switch votes, who will
• 4:54
  Speaker 8: labor back to the Liberals if this policy is opposed.
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: It's all about how they tackle it, though.
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: They have to articulate their message very clearly and they
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: can't play by Labour's rules. They can't submit to this
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: idea that this is solving into generational equity issues, because
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: as we've discussed, it's doing nothing of the sort now.
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: Budget figures have also exposed the government's failure to reign
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: in Australia's migration intake. The government expects two hundred and
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: ninety five thousand arrivals in the current financial year, followed
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: by two hundred and forty five in twenty six twenty
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: seven and two hundred and twenty five in twenty seven
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: twenty eight. Those figures exclude temporary migrants, including international students
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: and short term visa holders. Louise that's a corehort that
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: has surged massively in recent years, and of course all
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: those people have to live somewhere. It places a great
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: deal of pressure on the rental market.
• 5:56
  Speaker 7: Although apparently negative gearing is the issue that sort's actually
• 5:59
  Speaker 7: had the housing market, not this huge influx of migrants
• 6:03
  Speaker 7: who actually say need somewhere to live, and they need schools,
• 6:06
  Speaker 7: they need infrastructure, they need transport, they need healthcare and
• 6:08
  Speaker 7: everything else, and that's what's causing a huge train on
• 6:11
  Speaker 7: our system. But Labor would rather not deal with that
• 6:14
  Speaker 7: issue of migration or housing supply and instead that it's
• 6:17
  Speaker 7: come after the family unit.
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: As I said previously, this.
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: Seems to be an issue that Labor do not want
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: to tackle. And I would argue even the coalition has
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: been really weak that yes they've got a new migration policy,
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: but we have no heard and fast figures of this
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: is what our target is. And it's probably explaining why
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: One Nation is gaining so much support because they're clear
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: in their policy.
• 6:46
  Speaker 8: Position and overseas students and temporary visa holders all require
• 6:52
  Speaker 8: public transport and many of them require accommodation in the meantime.
• 6:56
  Speaker 8: And I can't understand how the government doesn't do a
• 6:59
  Speaker 8: radical rewrite of the immigration rules because as you say,
• 7:03
  Speaker 8: it's only strengthening the new political party of the right.
• 7:08
  Speaker 8: One nation. You can be in favor of targeted migration,
• 7:12
  Speaker 8: but the figures that have happened to Australia. Clearly, they're
• 7:16
  Speaker 8: fueling public discontent and it's negligent of the government not
• 7:20
  Speaker 8: to address.
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: Well, we've got a million more permanent coming in in
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: the next three years roughly, and then you've got all
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: the temporary and as we've discovered, we've had.
• 7:29
  Speaker 8: Two million come in. You know that has boosted Australia's
• 7:33
  Speaker 8: population to twenty seven million. I mean, I'm in favor
• 7:36
  Speaker 8: of Australia gradually growing, but there's no extra recruits for
• 7:39
  Speaker 8: the defense forces. What's happened to the motivation of these people.
• 7:43
  Speaker 8: We can't get fifty thousand people in the ADF.
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: And we are not building enough homes, which is a
• 7:49
  Speaker 4: heading to the housing crisis. And now there's going to
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: be even less incentive. You've got to argue for people
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: to become investors in property, which will well.
• 7:58
  Speaker 8: Why would you with state land taxes? These new taxes
• 8:01
  Speaker 8: from the highest taxing treasure in Australia's history.
• 8:04
  Speaker 5: Wow, what are.
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: Talked about? Michael? The Greens.
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: The Greens have argued that the negative gearing changes don't
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: go far enough. They want the changes to apply to
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: current investors as well, but have listened to Green Senator
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: Nick mckim's choice of language when describing the concept of grandfathering,
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: it seems as if the government is going a grand
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: person in existing arrangements in order to maximize the benefits
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: of the reform. Louisa he can't bring himself to use
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: the correct term grandfather, grand person. I think he said
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: he had to use a non gendered term.
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: I mean, these people they're not serious people.
• 8:50
  Speaker 7: No, they're not serious people. But imagine thinking that was
• 8:54
  Speaker 7: the key message post budget, that you had to actually
• 8:56
  Speaker 7: clarify in language that it was grand person rather than grandfathering.
• 8:59
  Speaker 7: What everyone knows, it's not a generic sort of gender
• 9:02
  Speaker 7: term that's being applied here. But of course, as usual,
• 9:05
  Speaker 7: the Greens don't come up with any solution to the
• 9:07
  Speaker 7: housing supply, do they. They just got to go down
• 9:09
  Speaker 7: that strange path of ideology and they think that actually
• 9:12
  Speaker 7: means policy when the rest of us are just tearing
• 9:14
  Speaker 7: our hair at saying they're not serious people.
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: As you say, they're not serious people.
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: But you could argue, Michael that the policies adopted by
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: Labor are Greens led policies. I mean this is it
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: doesn't go far enough for the Greens, but it's a start.
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: They would be very happy with these changes to negative
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: gearing and capital.
• 9:35
  Speaker 8: Nick McKim was leader of the opposition in Tasmane. He's
• 9:39
  Speaker 8: a senator from TASMANI can you believe that such politically correct,
• 9:43
  Speaker 8: woke people who can't even use words like grandfathering about
• 9:47
  Speaker 8: a tax system are elected to the Senate. I mean,
• 9:50
  Speaker 8: I suppose they've got worse. They've got shoe Bridge, who's
• 9:53
  Speaker 8: an absolute extremist on national security, and Marine Ferruki who
• 9:59
  Speaker 8: scares the spine off most Australia.
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: Yes, well, she's got a few investment properties herself.
• 10:05
  Speaker 8: I've been thirteen, I think, and she was going to
• 10:07
  Speaker 8: be very upset these changes.
• 10:09
  Speaker 4: Thirteen allegedly. I'm not sure about that figure. Just in
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: case of mind, you migrant comes here, builds wealth. I'm
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: not decrying it, except the massive hypocrisy at play. Now
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: let's go to the crime issue in Melbourne, something we've
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: talked about a lot on this program. And again it's
• 10:28
  Speaker 4: pure luck that no one was killed when shots were
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: fired into a tobacco shop in Melbourne's West.
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: Have a look at this report.
• 10:35
  Speaker 4: Well, shots have been fired into a tobacco shop in
• 10:37
  Speaker 4: Melbourne's West the second shooting in the shopping strip in
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: just two months.
• 10:41
  Speaker 9: It was five point thirty last night when police believe
• 10:44
  Speaker 9: shots were fired from a moving vehicle.
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: Thankfully nobody was injured.
• 10:47
  Speaker 9: Of course, police will no doubt be looking into this
• 10:49
  Speaker 9: as to whether it's linked to the illicit tobacco trade.
• 10:52
  Speaker 9: What is interesting is just a couple of months ago,
• 10:55
  Speaker 9: a couple of shops down a volley of shots were fired.
• 10:58
  Speaker 10: Into a vaping cap.
• 11:00
  Speaker 9: In that instance, the forty nine year old man was
• 11:02
  Speaker 9: injured and police did link that to the ongoing tobacco wars.
• 11:07
  Speaker 9: Those wars have been somewhat overshadowed by the hospitality wars
• 11:11
  Speaker 9: that are currently raging in Melbourne.
• 11:15
  Speaker 4: Michael, Melbourne is in a crime crisis. We've got these
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: cases of hospitality terrorism we're calling it, with bars, restaurants,
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: strip clubs being fire bombs, shots fired, Kidnappings are now
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: again overnight. It's almost become commonplace. You're not even shocked
• 11:37
  Speaker 4: when you hear about these cases.
• 11:38
  Speaker 8: Well, we had a couple of going back to Commissioner Nixon,
• 11:43
  Speaker 8: politically correct police commissioners. We had an overconcentration on violent
• 11:48
  Speaker 8: dispersal of people during the coronavirus, and then we had
• 11:51
  Speaker 8: most of the poor coppers doing their overtime with the
• 11:54
  Speaker 8: ones on the ground at these Palestinian demonstrations. I wish
• 11:57
  Speaker 8: they were doing stopping homes or fighting crime like this.
• 12:03
  Speaker 8: The socialist Left government has such a huge deficit. It
• 12:06
  Speaker 8: doesn't have the money to pay for the police that
• 12:10
  Speaker 8: could turn back these incredible attacks on tobacco shops and
• 12:14
  Speaker 8: now the alcohol outlets.
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: It's yep, it's getting ugly out there. Now.
• 12:19
  Speaker 4: Before you go, I'm interested in your opinion on this
• 12:23
  Speaker 4: next story. Exposing the hypocrisy of the Green left. A
• 12:27
  Speaker 4: counselor for the UK Greens has proudly posted footage of
• 12:31
  Speaker 4: himself driving a Lamborghini. This is just days after he
• 12:35
  Speaker 4: was elected. This is a spider, I believe, which costs
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: upwards of two hundred and seventy thousand pounds. The video
• 12:43
  Speaker 4: appears to be shot back in twenty twenty three. Louise
• 12:47
  Speaker 4: in his campaign and this particular counselor promised to work
• 12:52
  Speaker 4: for greener spaces and supported taxes for billionaires not workers.
• 12:57
  Speaker 7: That's right, nothing says man of the people. Does it
• 13:00
  Speaker 7: like driving a half a million dollar orange Lamborghini, and
• 13:04
  Speaker 7: it's not even one of the quote nice Lamborghini. He's
• 13:06
  Speaker 7: not really a fan in a way.
• 13:08
  Speaker 8: It's a moon one.
• 13:09
  Speaker 7: It's a hoon one exactly preaching about it. We need
• 13:12
  Speaker 7: more tax on fuel and you know, get the bus,
• 13:15
  Speaker 7: don't drive around. But as for me, of course I'm
• 13:17
  Speaker 7: going to turn up in a luxury sports car and
• 13:20
  Speaker 7: preach to the masses and preach to the peasants. So
• 13:23
  Speaker 7: it's so green. So it's like straight out of the
• 13:24
  Speaker 7: Greens textbook, isn't it.
• 13:27
  Speaker 4: Yes, this is an animal farm all over again. And
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: the Greens we're seeing in the UK, and we'll see
• 13:34
  Speaker 4: it even more so locally. I think in a few
• 13:36
  Speaker 4: years is they're going to become a party of communists
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: and Islamists.
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: There's not going to be much Envira.
• 13:42
  Speaker 8: The read Green alliance there and Reader the five hundred
• 13:46
  Speaker 8: and seventeen sectarian candidates were elected in this landslide in
• 13:49
  Speaker 8: the UK council poll. So the UK is getting worse
• 13:55
  Speaker 8: and worse and worse.
• 13:57
  Speaker 4: A lot of them Greens and that's why I reform
• 13:59
  Speaker 4: one of those elections.
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: Michael Danby, Louis Roberts, thank you.
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: So much for your time well, let's get straight into
• 14:06
  Speaker 4: the latest royal and entertainment news. And joining me now
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: is broadcaster and Sky News contributor d D dune Levy
• 14:12
  Speaker 4: d D. We're gonna start with the ABC, our own ABC.
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: Former ABC journal Antoinette Latouf became emotional when she walked
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: back into the ABC after her legal battle with the
• 14:24
  Speaker 4: national broadcaster. She was back in the studio to talk
• 14:27
  Speaker 4: with Umi Steins.
• 14:29
  Speaker 10: All Right, how you going?
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: You're right, I don't know.
• 14:44
  Speaker 11: Thank you so being here with me. I think it's
• 14:48
  Speaker 11: important by I come back and reclaim my space and
• 14:52
  Speaker 11: safety because I did nothing dragged with the ring true help.
• 14:58
  Speaker 12: It's not easy.
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: Very emotional their d D.
• 15:01
  Speaker 4: She said she was made to feel like a criminal
• 15:04
  Speaker 4: or sex pest when she was ordered out of the building.
• 15:09
  Speaker 13: Nobody can make you feel anything. You're in charge of
• 15:11
  Speaker 13: your own feelings. So it's a bit dramatic, and it
• 15:14
  Speaker 13: all felt very performative to me. In fact, I didn't
• 15:17
  Speaker 13: just feel performed.
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: If it was performed, well, it was filmed and put
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: on social media.
• 15:22
  Speaker 13: So the ABC just opening the door, come on back in.
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: I mean that honestly. Well, it's our tax dollars.
• 15:28
  Speaker 4: The man of money the ABC squandered in that legal
• 15:31
  Speaker 4: fight and they lost.
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: And do they have any penalty? No, the tax pay
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: picks up the bill.
• 15:37
  Speaker 13: No, And left are the few listeners that they have,
• 15:41
  Speaker 13: which are very very few that have to put up
• 15:44
  Speaker 13: with that sort of pattern.
• 15:45
  Speaker 4: No.
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: I just I really don't like that.
• 15:48
  Speaker 10: That.
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the look at me, look at me, the look
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: how sad I am?
• 15:53
  Speaker 13: Yes, dab dab if the tears, this business that goes,
• 15:56
  Speaker 13: I don't know what that's supposed to achieve.
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: It's just I don't like it.
• 15:59
  Speaker 4: I don't well social media, there's a lot worse than
• 16:02
  Speaker 4: that on social media, people just filming themselves having emotional breakdowns,
• 16:07
  Speaker 4: then setting it to music and posting it online.
• 16:09
  Speaker 13: First I saw was with the recent in the ballroom
• 16:14
  Speaker 13: with in America with the latest attempt.
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: Oh yes, yes. One of the journalists was under a table.
• 16:19
  Speaker 13: She had the camera on herself, like someone should tell her,
• 16:22
  Speaker 13: you're a journalist, turn the.
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: Camera around, Phil, you might you might catch something exactly now.
• 16:27
  Speaker 4: Antoinettlatouf also spoke about how she dressed during her court
• 16:32
  Speaker 4: battle with the ABC, who she sued over an unlawful
• 16:36
  Speaker 4: termination claim.
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: Did you dress for going into battle?
• 16:40
  Speaker 12: Like?
• 16:40
  Speaker 14: What?
• 16:40
  Speaker 11: Was the thinking behind that.
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: It was strategic and thought out. It was armor. I
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: guess I also have the ability and the experience of
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: being a media professional for so many years. I mean,
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: I never really knew how hard it would be to
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: be on the other side. It's like, you can't look
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: too good, but don't look bad. Don't look confident, but
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: have a backbone. Oh my god, she's smiling, she's full
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: of herself.
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: Oh look she's crying.
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: She's sook. She brought it off. I just knew that
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: no matter what I did or wore, I was going
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: to be scrutinized. So I wanted to give them another story.
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: I was like, Okay, you want a story, I'll give
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: you one. I deliberately dressed like a mob wife.
• 17:15
  Speaker 4: A mob wife, Okay, that's good inspiration. I did like
• 17:19
  Speaker 4: that last outfit. I've got to say that was with
• 17:21
  Speaker 4: her slicked back hair. So it's interesting because to think
• 17:27
  Speaker 4: about that, to think about how you're dressing to court
• 17:31
  Speaker 4: and how the media is going to report what you're wearing.
• 17:35
  Speaker 13: Look, it does matter because remember those images of Nigela
• 17:37
  Speaker 13: Lawson walking into court, and she had that what she
• 17:40
  Speaker 13: was almost doing mob wife as well. But she had
• 17:42
  Speaker 13: her chin in the air and her shoulders back, and
• 17:44
  Speaker 13: it really sets the tone.
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: But the most telling part of that clip you just
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: played was just watch at the very.
• 17:49
  Speaker 13: Beginning where she glances up at the camera.
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: It's like, oh, you're getting this.
• 17:54
  Speaker 13: It comes back to this thing if you think she's
• 17:55
  Speaker 13: doing as a performance, and which makes it all feel
• 17:57
  Speaker 13: a bit inauthentic.
• 17:59
  Speaker 4: Now talking about inauthentic, Megan Markle is facing backlash over
• 18:03
  Speaker 4: a planned reality TV stunt which would see her and
• 18:07
  Speaker 4: Prince Harry recreate their vows to celebrate their eight year
• 18:10
  Speaker 4: anniversary that's coming up on May nineteen. One insider familiar
• 18:15
  Speaker 4: with the discussions told Raider Online there is a growing
• 18:18
  Speaker 4: feeling that this idea risks blurring the line between authenticity
• 18:23
  Speaker 4: and performance. A vow renewal is typically an intimate reaffirmation,
• 18:29
  Speaker 4: but positioning in it as a centerpiece of a reality
• 18:32
  Speaker 4: style project makes it feel more like a calculated production.
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: Than a personal moment.
• 18:38
  Speaker 4: DEDI I mean this couple is thirsty, as the kids say, thirsty.
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: Well, thirsty slash desperate. Well they are what's their income?
• 18:48
  Speaker 13: Every task or every project that they've set out on
• 18:52
  Speaker 13: has failed, and I think they're just scratching around to
• 18:55
  Speaker 13: make money in any particular way. They're clearly inspired by
• 18:58
  Speaker 13: Ellen Degenerous and Portrait de Rossi, who renewed their vows
• 19:01
  Speaker 13: in twenty twenty three.
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: Remember christ Jenna was their officiation for ceremony, and they
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: got a lot of attention for that.
• 19:08
  Speaker 13: Harry and Meghan have been married for eight years.
• 19:11
  Speaker 4: I was not even a milestone yet. If it was
• 19:13
  Speaker 4: that ten year anniversary, twenty five year still would be tacky,
• 19:18
  Speaker 4: but at least there would be some reason to have
• 19:20
  Speaker 4: a vowing mule. Yeah, it seems odd to be having
• 19:23
  Speaker 4: it at eight years in. What are you saying we
• 19:24
  Speaker 4: survived the seven year rich It's yeah, it's.
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: A little bit odd. Now I want to pray you.
• 19:30
  Speaker 4: This clip of UFC President and CEO Dana White calling
• 19:36
  Speaker 4: out the media industry, it's brutal.
• 19:39
  Speaker 12: My biggest problem with the media, Who and what the
• 19:44
  Speaker 12: have you ever done nothing? You're nobody and you've never
• 19:49
  Speaker 12: done anything ever. Nobody's ever depended on you for a paycheck?
• 19:55
  Speaker 12: Who are you to criticize anybody?
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: Deady?
• 20:00
  Speaker 4: The man's I think a self made billionaire. He hires
• 20:04
  Speaker 4: plenty of people. I guess he's very much entitled to
• 20:07
  Speaker 4: that opinion.
• 20:08
  Speaker 13: Well, yeah, and as a journalist, I don't know, Like
• 20:10
  Speaker 13: I do feel that he's our job as journalists to
• 20:13
  Speaker 13: ask questions of people.
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: But he is back quite right. It's not a court,
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: he's not.
• 20:20
  Speaker 13: Obligated to answer questions from journalists, and so he's right,
• 20:24
  Speaker 13: and he has more expertise in his field than any
• 20:27
  Speaker 13: of them might have. It does seem very much so,
• 20:30
  Speaker 13: and I think it's right. He's spoken like this before.
• 20:32
  Speaker 4: That he's been badly treated by the media well, because
• 20:35
  Speaker 4: he's so close with Trump, him and Trump personal friends,
• 20:38
  Speaker 4: and there's always pressure being exerted on the UFC, on
• 20:41
  Speaker 4: him personally because of those links, and he's sick of it.
• 20:45
  Speaker 4: Now before you go, Golf superstar Tiger Woods has hit
• 20:48
  Speaker 4: another roadblock in his ongoing DUI case, with a Florida
• 20:52
  Speaker 4: judge ruling that prosecutors will have access to his prescription
• 20:56
  Speaker 4: drug history prior to his crash on March twenty seven.
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: Diddy. Woods is reportedly still in with Switzerland receiving treatment
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: following his arrest two months ago.
• 21:06
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 21:06
  Speaker 13: Well, I think he's doing about three months in that
• 21:08
  Speaker 13: rehab there. This would be embarrassing for him, and I
• 21:12
  Speaker 13: understand why his representatives fought against having his prescription made public,
• 21:18
  Speaker 13: but I actually don't think it's going to hurt his
• 21:19
  Speaker 13: image in the public eyes because there are so many
• 21:22
  Speaker 13: Americans who have fallen into the same trap where they've
• 21:27
  Speaker 13: been prescribed opioids as pain relief and it's then spiraled
• 21:31
  Speaker 13: into some sort of drug habit. So it's something a
• 21:33
  Speaker 13: lot of people have gone through and something that I
• 21:35
  Speaker 13: think a lot of people will have sympathy for. He
• 21:37
  Speaker 13: may be rich and famous, but he would aken hurt
• 21:40
  Speaker 13: after his surgeries and accidents the same way normal people have,
• 21:43
  Speaker 13: so it may not be a bad thing for him
• 21:45
  Speaker 13: after all.
• 21:46
  Speaker 4: And there's just so much good will for him and
• 21:48
  Speaker 4: so many people wanting him to fully recover and be
• 21:51
  Speaker 4: the legend that he is. Did he dun Levy, think
• 21:54
  Speaker 4: you so much for it. Thanks for still to come.
• 21:56
  Speaker 4: Left is Losing and plus all the last from the
• 21:59
  Speaker 4: un including President Trump's unprecedented move concerning his trip to China.
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: John Heinderecher is next.
• 22:16
  Speaker 4: You're watching the Rida Paney Show, and it's time for
• 22:19
  Speaker 4: Lefties Losing It and time for a weekly.
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: Visit with the ladies of the View could be a
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: nightly visit. But I wouldn't do that to you. That
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: would be cruel and unusual. Here the whole panel.
• 22:32
  Speaker 4: Loses their teeny tiny minds because an actor dared to
• 22:35
  Speaker 4: state the obvious that being an actor being good at
• 22:38
  Speaker 4: pretending doesn't make you an expert on politics, social issues,
• 22:43
  Speaker 4: or anything else outside of acting. Let's first hear from
• 22:47
  Speaker 4: Oscar winner Billy Bob Thornton, not really.
• 22:50
  Speaker 14: Big on like had award shows, all of a sudden
• 22:52
  Speaker 14: start talking about saving the Badgers and stuff like you'll
• 22:55
  Speaker 14: get your like Ricky Gervaise, get your little ward. And
• 22:59
  Speaker 14: you know I don't know anything about politics. I have
• 23:02
  Speaker 14: no idea I mean and if and the stuff that
• 23:04
  Speaker 14: I believe about it. I don't want to force it
• 23:07
  Speaker 14: down somebody else's throat because I'm not an expert on that.
• 23:11
  Speaker 4: Oh well, that was enough to set off the angry
• 23:14
  Speaker 4: ladies of the View, who love nothing more than shoving
• 23:17
  Speaker 4: their ill informed opinions down the throats of their long
• 23:20
  Speaker 4: suffering audience.
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: Let's start with Joy Behain.
• 23:24
  Speaker 15: Bragging about how one informed you are. Yeah, you know
• 23:27
  Speaker 15: you're an American citizen, don't you want to? Well, I
• 23:29
  Speaker 15: would say they read the paper.
• 23:31
  Speaker 16: I do think the civic participation, our vote is a privilege.
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: That so many have died for and fought for that.
• 23:37
  Speaker 15: But they have an influence. I mean Springsteen right now,
• 23:41
  Speaker 15: and Robert de Niro yeahs no.
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: They have sodas.
• 23:45
  Speaker 15: Wait a minute, so does John Voyd and Kid Rock.
• 23:48
  Speaker 15: They all of them have the right to speak out
• 23:51
  Speaker 15: and they use your platform. And only people.
• 23:56
  Speaker 4: Really enjoy Comparing the unhinged antiques of Robert De Niro
• 24:00
  Speaker 4: in recent years to Kid Rock and John Void.
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: Not exactly the same, is it. Now?
• 24:04
  Speaker 4: Let's see a more hysterical sounds and reaction to Billy
• 24:08
  Speaker 4: Bob Thornton, this time courtesy of the perpetually miserable Sunny Houstin.
• 24:13
  Speaker 16: We're at a crisis points in this country. I think
• 24:16
  Speaker 16: democracy is participatory. I think when you have a platform,
• 24:21
  Speaker 16: that means you have an outsized voice. And when you
• 24:23
  Speaker 16: have a platform, I think that you have a responsibility
• 24:27
  Speaker 16: to speak up about what's going on in this country.
• 24:30
  Speaker 16: And my view, silence is complicity.
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: Every single long, every.
• 24:35
  Speaker 15: Day we got closer to an autocracy in this country.
• 24:38
  Speaker 15: We're about to lose it. I think that people don't
• 24:40
  Speaker 15: seem to understand what's.
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: Going on autocracy. I mean, these people are deranged. Let's
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: not forget it was just a few months ago when Joy.
• 24:49
  Speaker 4: Beahau was claiming that the midterms wouldn't happen, that Donald
• 24:52
  Speaker 4: Trump was going to end all elections, Like.
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: I said, deranged.
• 24:57
  Speaker 4: Now Here is a celebrity being attacked for saying something
• 25:01
  Speaker 4: when in character. This isn't Sidney Sweeney talking, it's her
• 25:05
  Speaker 4: character in Euphoria, Cassie Howard. And yet this little clip
• 25:09
  Speaker 4: has sent the left into fits of unbridled rage.
• 25:13
  Speaker 5: Look, if a man today were to say that he
• 25:15
  Speaker 5: wants a girlfriend that can cocker clean, you might as
• 25:17
  Speaker 5: well be screaming the inward.
• 25:19
  Speaker 6: Okay, well, you sound like a democrat.
• 25:24
  Speaker 5: I'm not retorted.
• 25:26
  Speaker 4: Now back to the dangerously uninformed, and let's hear it
• 25:30
  Speaker 4: from Alexandra Orcazio Cortez, who made this startling claim about
• 25:35
  Speaker 4: the American Revolution.
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: The American Revolution was against the billionaires of their time,
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: and we're declaring independence from such an extreme marriage of
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: wealth and power and the state.
• 25:52
  Speaker 4: So one minute, the American Revolution was all about toxic
• 25:56
  Speaker 4: white masculinity, and now it was a revolution against wealthy
• 26:02
  Speaker 4: Someone needs to tell AOC. The American Revolution was in
• 26:04
  Speaker 4: fact led by some of the richest people in the
• 26:08
  Speaker 4: Thirteen Colonies. Indeed, Robert Morris, considered the richest man in
• 26:12
  Speaker 4: America at the time, used his own personal wealth to
• 26:15
  Speaker 4: finance much of the American Revolution.
• 26:19
  Speaker 3: Now, what the Democrats really excel at is lying. We
• 26:22
  Speaker 3: know that, and.
• 26:22
  Speaker 4: They could not resist deliberately and dishonestly cutting this next
• 26:27
  Speaker 4: clip to make it look like President Trump does not
• 26:30
  Speaker 4: give us stuff about the economic pressures Americans are under.
• 26:34
  Speaker 4: Here is what the Democrats made viral on social media
• 26:37
  Speaker 4: earlier today.
• 26:38
  Speaker 15: I don't think about American financial situation.
• 26:42
  Speaker 3: I don't think about anybody.
• 26:43
  Speaker 6: I think about what's saying.
• 26:45
  Speaker 4: Yes, you just heard the President say, I don't think
• 26:48
  Speaker 4: about Americans financial situation. That's the clip the left cut
• 26:53
  Speaker 4: up earlier today and went to town on only one
• 26:56
  Speaker 4: little problem context. The President was a sering a question
• 27:01
  Speaker 4: about the war in Iran and what motivates his decision
• 27:04
  Speaker 4: making in that conflict. Let's look at the bits the
• 27:08
  Speaker 4: Democrats deliberately cut from that video.
• 27:11
  Speaker 10: Am I only restating with Iran and the present? What
• 27:13
  Speaker 10: extent are American financial things mating or to.
• 27:16
  Speaker 17: Meeting you to make it mean not even a little bit.
• 27:20
  Speaker 15: The only thing that matters is when I'm.
• 27:21
  Speaker 17: Talking about Iran, they can't have a new blue weapon.
• 27:24
  Speaker 10: I don't think about.
• 27:26
  Speaker 15: American financial situation.
• 27:28
  Speaker 10: I don't think about anybody.
• 27:29
  Speaker 17: I think about what things we cannot let Iran.
• 27:33
  Speaker 18: Have a new blue weapon. That's the only thing.
• 27:36
  Speaker 3: That the reporter asks when negotiating with Iran.
• 27:40
  Speaker 4: To what extent are American's financial situation motivating you to
• 27:44
  Speaker 4: make a deal. It would be profoundly weak and would
• 27:49
  Speaker 4: send every wrong signal to Iran and the world if
• 27:52
  Speaker 4: Trump said American domestic politics was putting pressure on him
• 27:56
  Speaker 4: to make a deal. Let's bring in Center for the
• 28:00
  Speaker 4: American Experiment, President and co founder of the popular power
• 28:03
  Speaker 4: Line blog, John Heindereicher.
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: John, do you ever.
• 28:07
  Speaker 4: Get sick of these fake outrages? They seem to happen daily.
• 28:14
  Speaker 17: We see this every single day, And you know it's
• 28:17
  Speaker 17: a fake outrage when the clip consists of a sentence fragment,
• 28:20
  Speaker 17: when you don't even hear the whole sentence that Trump
• 28:23
  Speaker 17: or whoever is saying, zero context, You don't know what
• 28:27
  Speaker 17: question is answering. You don't hear the whole answer. You
• 28:30
  Speaker 17: know that they are lying to you.
• 28:33
  Speaker 3: Absolutely said when it comes to Iran, I don't care
• 28:37
  Speaker 3: about so and so. So that was the key part. Now,
• 28:41
  Speaker 3: staying with the media, tell me about this New York.
• 28:44
  Speaker 4: Times piece from two times Pullitzerprise winner Nicholas Christoph.
• 28:50
  Speaker 3: He claims sexual.
• 28:52
  Speaker 4: Violence by Israeli forces against Palestinians is widespread. He says
• 28:57
  Speaker 4: they exist a pattern of system abuse and unrestrained power
• 29:02
  Speaker 4: within Israeli detention centers.
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: Have a look.
• 29:05
  Speaker 6: When Israel was attacked on October seventh, twenty twenty three,
• 29:09
  Speaker 6: officials were quick to condemn the sexual violence of Hamas.
• 29:13
  Speaker 12: You've heard of the rape of Israeli women.
• 29:16
  Speaker 10: Where the hell are you women?
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: Raped?
• 29:18
  Speaker 12: Assault and paraded as trophies?
• 29:20
  Speaker 6: Use this rape as a weapon of war, sexual violence
• 29:23
  Speaker 6: as a weapon of war by Hamas. I went to
• 29:25
  Speaker 6: the West Bank to talk with Palestinians who experienced sexual
• 29:29
  Speaker 6: assault firsthand by Israeli soldiers, settlers and prison guards. They're
• 29:35
  Speaker 6: harrowing accounts, backed by lawyers, surveys, and international reports, suggests
• 29:41
  Speaker 6: that sexual violence by Israelis against Palestinians is widespread, and
• 29:47
  Speaker 6: that raises the question where is their revulsion against sexual
• 29:51
  Speaker 6: assault now?
• 29:54
  Speaker 4: Now Understandably, this report is getting a lot of attention. John,
• 29:58
  Speaker 4: You've written about it for the Powline blog. What is
• 30:01
  Speaker 4: your assessment of the New York Times reporting?
• 30:05
  Speaker 17: Well read of The New York Times has long been
• 30:07
  Speaker 17: a front for Hamas. Christoph's opinion column is based on
• 30:12
  Speaker 17: talking to a couple of very unreliable sources. He gets
• 30:16
  Speaker 17: a lot of his information from something called euro med Monitor,
• 30:19
  Speaker 17: which sounds like a mainstream organization, but in fact it
• 30:22
  Speaker 17: is run by associates of Hamas, and the first person
• 30:26
  Speaker 17: he quotes in the article is somebody he describes as
• 30:29
  Speaker 17: a quote freelance journalist named Sammy al Sai. In fact,
• 30:34
  Speaker 17: this is a guy who celebrated Hamas's October seventh massacre
• 30:39
  Speaker 17: and has twice been jailed for inciting terrorism. So basically,
• 30:43
  Speaker 17: Nicholas Christoph is passing on Hamas' propaganda and coincidentally, or
• 30:49
  Speaker 17: maybe not, Christoph's column appeared on the same day that
• 30:52
  Speaker 17: the Israelis released an exhaustive report based on thousands of
• 30:57
  Speaker 17: photographs and videos, mostly shot by Hamas fighters, that document
• 31:03
  Speaker 17: countless real instances of rape and sexual abuse by Hamas
• 31:07
  Speaker 17: on October seventh, and it looks as if The Times
• 31:11
  Speaker 17: is trying to deflect attention from what really happened by
• 31:15
  Speaker 17: promoting what didn't happen.
• 31:18
  Speaker 4: Why are they so committed to this position? Why are
• 31:21
  Speaker 4: they willing to die on this hill?
• 31:25
  Speaker 17: You know, for whatever reason, hatred of Israel has become
• 31:30
  Speaker 17: almost the organizing principle of the American left and really
• 31:34
  Speaker 17: the worldwide left. Heating Israel has become their number one priority.
• 31:39
  Speaker 17: And it doesn't matter how dishonest they have to be,
• 31:42
  Speaker 17: how far they have to go. We see this over
• 31:45
  Speaker 17: and over again in the left wing press.
• 31:49
  Speaker 4: Now, the US State Department released as statement overnight confirming
• 31:53
  Speaker 4: the United States refused to participate in the UN's review
• 31:58
  Speaker 4: of the Global Compact on Microation. The United States objects
• 32:02
  Speaker 4: to the Global Compact on Migration, the statement said, and
• 32:05
  Speaker 4: UN efforts to facilitate replacement migration to the United States
• 32:09
  Speaker 4: and our Western allies. John The statement also went on
• 32:13
  Speaker 4: to say UN agencies systematically facilitated mass migration into America
• 32:18
  Speaker 4: and Europe, even as citizens of those nations called for
• 32:22
  Speaker 4: restrictions on migration.
• 32:26
  Speaker 3: RITA.
• 32:26
  Speaker 17: The US has not joined that UN compact because it
• 32:30
  Speaker 17: basically is designed to encourage and to facilitate the mass
• 32:34
  Speaker 17: migration of people from third world countries to develop countries,
• 32:38
  Speaker 17: and it makes no distinction between legal and illegal immigration.
• 32:43
  Speaker 17: UN agencies have actually been present on the ground in
• 32:47
  Speaker 17: Mexico and Central America helping to guide illegal immigrants into
• 32:52
  Speaker 17: the US. The UN has been undermining our laws and
• 32:56
  Speaker 17: undermining our sovereignty, and the Trump administration is right to
• 33:01
  Speaker 17: have nothing to do with this compact.
• 33:04
  Speaker 4: Now, let's talk about the much anticipated trip prison Trump
• 33:09
  Speaker 4: is taking to China. John, what are going to be
• 33:12
  Speaker 4: the top agenda items outside of trade.
• 33:16
  Speaker 17: Well, trade is certainly going to be on the agenda
• 33:18
  Speaker 17: read and it's probably going to be the easiest area
• 33:21
  Speaker 17: to announce some agreements. Iran, of course, is going to
• 33:25
  Speaker 17: be discussed. Trump wants China to lean on the Iranian
• 33:30
  Speaker 17: regime to make some kind of a deal on nuclear materials.
• 33:33
  Speaker 17: I don't think China will do that unless they get
• 33:36
  Speaker 17: something important in return. Trump is also, I think, going
• 33:40
  Speaker 17: to complain about Chinese purchases of sanctioned Iranian oil and
• 33:44
  Speaker 17: also sanctioned Russian oil, and I think there could be
• 33:48
  Speaker 17: some broader discussion about the fact that we have choked
• 33:52
  Speaker 17: off Chinese access to oil from both Venezuela and now
• 33:57
  Speaker 17: Iran that they were getting at below market rates, and
• 34:01
  Speaker 17: so it'll be interesting to see where that conversation goes.
• 34:06
  Speaker 4: How much influence does China have when it comes to Iran,
• 34:10
  Speaker 4: because we know the regime is so fractured in Iran.
• 34:15
  Speaker 4: Even if you've got government officials listening to Beijing, it
• 34:20
  Speaker 4: doesn't mean that IRGC is going to follow through and
• 34:23
  Speaker 4: do as they wish.
• 34:26
  Speaker 17: It's hard to see how much influence China or anybody
• 34:29
  Speaker 17: else has over whoever in the IRGC is now in
• 34:33
  Speaker 17: charge in Iran. I'm not even sure who that is,
• 34:36
  Speaker 17: and so any pressure that China could bring to bear
• 34:39
  Speaker 17: is probably less than the pressure we're already bringing to bear.
• 34:42
  Speaker 17: So I'm just not sure how far that conversation can
• 34:46
  Speaker 17: even go.
• 34:48
  Speaker 13: Now.
• 34:49
  Speaker 4: President Trump is traveling with some of the most powerful
• 34:52
  Speaker 4: business leaders in the country. His entourage includes Elon Musk
• 34:56
  Speaker 4: Will know who is, Tim Cook from Apple, Goldman Sachs,
• 35:00
  Speaker 4: David Solomon, Met Dana McCormick, Jane Fraser from City Group,
• 35:04
  Speaker 4: and H Lawrence Kulp from ge Aerospace, and several others.
• 35:10
  Speaker 4: John is it normal for a president to have so
• 35:13
  Speaker 4: many business leaders in his traveling party.
• 35:17
  Speaker 17: I think It's unprecedented. I can't remember a time when
• 35:20
  Speaker 17: a president has not just traveled with business leaders, but
• 35:22
  Speaker 17: with business leaders of this magnitude Iamond. This is an
• 35:26
  Speaker 17: unbelievable group that is going to China. There have been
• 35:30
  Speaker 17: reports that Trump wants to talk about artificial intelligence, and
• 35:35
  Speaker 17: the fact that he's going to have Elon Musk and
• 35:38
  Speaker 17: Tim Cook and Dinah McCormick as part of that group
• 35:42
  Speaker 17: I think suggests that that report could be true. But
• 35:45
  Speaker 17: I don't know what kind of agreement Trump wants to
• 35:48
  Speaker 17: reach or what kind of conversation he wants to have
• 35:51
  Speaker 17: with the Chinese about artificial intelligence.
• 35:55
  Speaker 4: John, Let's go to Washington State or Washington DC, where
• 35:58
  Speaker 4: businesses and high net were individuals are fleeing. Among them
• 36:02
  Speaker 4: a manufacturer Delta Camshaft, which is leaving the state after
• 36:05
  Speaker 4: nearly fifty years, with its owner siding rising crime, rising taxes,
• 36:10
  Speaker 4: and a worsening political climate. It's pretty green, but the
• 36:14
  Speaker 4: mayor of Seattle seems to think it's a big fat joke.
• 36:18
  Speaker 18: I think the claims that millionaires are going to leave
• 36:20
  Speaker 18: our state are like super overblown. And if you know
• 36:24
  Speaker 18: the ones that leave like bye, so.
• 36:32
  Speaker 4: John, that particularly individual has barely held a real job
• 36:36
  Speaker 4: in her life, has built nothing, built no wealth, and
• 36:40
  Speaker 4: that's her attitude to those who are doing all the
• 36:43
  Speaker 4: heavy lifting in her state.
• 36:47
  Speaker 17: Yeah, and that attitude is surprisingly common. We've seen it
• 36:50
  Speaker 17: in New York where Zorrahn mom Dannie did that crazy
• 36:54
  Speaker 17: video where he's standing in front of Ken Griffin's apartment
• 36:58
  Speaker 17: building and denouncing Griffin like he wanted someone to assassinate
• 37:03
  Speaker 17: him or something. I mean, these attitudes are just outrageous.
• 37:07
  Speaker 17: We're seeing the same thing in my home city of Minneapolis,
• 37:10
  Speaker 17: same attitude of they're just as happy, seemingly to drive
• 37:14
  Speaker 17: out businesses and drive out job creators. And of course
• 37:18
  Speaker 17: the reaction to that is that people are leaving those
• 37:20
  Speaker 17: cities and they're moving to cities where there's a good
• 37:23
  Speaker 17: business climate and where they can be safer.
• 37:27
  Speaker 4: And we saw the same attitude from the New York
• 37:30
  Speaker 4: Governor Kathy Hoekol. But then when it actually happened, when
• 37:34
  Speaker 4: people did start fleeing, she's done a what eighties. She's
• 37:37
  Speaker 4: asking for them to come back and to contribute to
• 37:40
  Speaker 4: the stage. And I think we're going to get here
• 37:42
  Speaker 4: a similar regret from the likes of Zorn Mandani and
• 37:45
  Speaker 4: Katie Wilson. But let's stick with Katie Wilson, the mayor
• 37:48
  Speaker 4: of Seattle. Let's hear her argue against CCTV, saying it
• 37:53
  Speaker 4: puts the immigrant community at risk. And let's hear say
• 37:57
  Speaker 4: this while we see clear footing each of Ahmed Abdullah OSMD,
• 38:02
  Speaker 4: who beta frail seventy seven year old man in Seattle
• 38:05
  Speaker 4: and was court thanks to CCTV.
• 38:08
  Speaker 18: This is legislation that will expand CCTV cameras that could
• 38:13
  Speaker 18: potentially be taken control of by the Trump administration. And
• 38:17
  Speaker 18: this is legislation that was opposed by immigrants rights groups,
• 38:21
  Speaker 18: by civil liberties groups, and by the Member of Color
• 38:23
  Speaker 18: Caucus in the legislature. And I'll quote from their letter.
• 38:27
  Speaker 18: This technology and technology similar to it has recently been
• 38:30
  Speaker 18: in the news for its failure to be meaningfully and
• 38:33
  Speaker 18: consistently secured, leading to breaches that could result in sensitive
• 38:36
  Speaker 18: data being shared by ICE and putting our immigrant and
• 38:39
  Speaker 18: refugee communities at risk.
• 38:42
  Speaker 4: John, these socialists mayors are a menace, and not just
• 38:46
  Speaker 4: as far as economics goes. They are economic vandals, but
• 38:49
  Speaker 4: they're dangerous ideologues when it comes to law and order.
• 38:55
  Speaker 17: Well, this is a great example where Katie Wilson doesn't
• 38:58
  Speaker 17: want to install cameras that will prevent violent crimes and
• 39:01
  Speaker 17: also help to solve violent crimes because they might make
• 39:05
  Speaker 17: illegal immigrants nervous, and she starts talking about the Trump
• 39:08
  Speaker 17: administration as if that's got something to do with that.
• 39:12
  Speaker 17: Her priorities are insane. But Rita, you do have to
• 39:15
  Speaker 17: wonder why do people vote for politicians like this. I mean,
• 39:19
  Speaker 17: she didn't make a secret of reviews when she ran
• 39:22
  Speaker 17: for mayor of Seattle. I would say that to a
• 39:24
  Speaker 17: great extent, citizens in some of these blue cities are
• 39:28
  Speaker 17: getting what they voted.
• 39:29
  Speaker 4: For, absolutely, and they keep voting for more. John Heindereicher,
• 39:34
  Speaker 4: thank you so much for your time. Tonight, still to come,
• 39:37
  Speaker 4: a new guest on the program, Stella Escabedo, will join
• 39:40
  Speaker 4: us to discuss the failing state that is California.
• 39:44
  Speaker 3: Stella Escabedo is up next, Welcome back.
• 39:57
  Speaker 4: The Spencer campaign to be marri of La got another
• 40:01
  Speaker 4: boost when supporters put together this latest ad.
• 40:15
  Speaker 3: You didn't finish burning the city to the ground in
• 40:17
  Speaker 3: your first term, make sure you finish the job in
• 40:19
  Speaker 3: your second. The only thing that can stop us is
• 40:22
  Speaker 3: someone telling the truth. As long as they don't have
• 40:25
  Speaker 3: any hope, the city's ours.
• 40:33
  Speaker 16: Nobody's ever done this before, no one's ever spoken truth
• 40:40
  Speaker 16: to power in La.
• 40:52
  Speaker 10: If one man's brave enough to think things can change,
• 40:55
  Speaker 10: everyone will realize things can change.
• 40:57
  Speaker 12: You need to stop him.
• 41:02
  Speaker 4: Joining me now is Emmy award winning journalists and host
• 41:05
  Speaker 4: of stellen Is Stella Escabato Stella. Spencer Pratt is he
• 41:10
  Speaker 4: still an outsider. He seems to be closing the gap
• 41:14
  Speaker 4: very quickly with the incumbent Karen Bass. But I guess
• 41:17
  Speaker 4: she's got all the institutional support behind her.
• 41:21
  Speaker 10: You're right, Rita, thank you for having me on. I
• 41:23
  Speaker 10: got to tell you, you know, she's got the money,
• 41:25
  Speaker 10: She's got the establishment money. But the brilliance behind Spencer
• 41:29
  Speaker 10: Pratt's campaign is something Los Angeles has not seen. I
• 41:34
  Speaker 10: grew up in Los Angeles. I lived there since I
• 41:36
  Speaker 10: was nine years old. Los Angeles is unrecognizable skid row
• 41:42
  Speaker 10: where they have homeless people living in. Used to be
• 41:44
  Speaker 10: it was called skid roll because it's a row. It's
• 41:47
  Speaker 10: fifty blocks. Now the homeless industrial complex, I mean, Rita,
• 41:53
  Speaker 10: billions of dollars have been spent to make the homelessness
• 41:57
  Speaker 10: go away and it's only gotten worse. So the feeling
• 42:00
  Speaker 10: in Los Angeles is, yeah, he's an outsider, meaning he's
• 42:04
  Speaker 10: not establishment, but he was born and raised in Los Angeles.
• 42:08
  Speaker 10: And there is hope because he is talking about the
• 42:11
  Speaker 10: issues that matter to Angelino's the most. And Rita his
• 42:15
  Speaker 10: home burned in the Palisades. His mother's home burned down,
• 42:18
  Speaker 10: and you know what, it burned down under Karen Bassa's
• 42:22
  Speaker 10: watch the American dream. In America, they say an American
• 42:26
  Speaker 10: dream is when you own a home. That American dream
• 42:28
  Speaker 10: was taken away from him, his young family, his wife,
• 42:32
  Speaker 10: and many other Angelinos. And so he's running on this
• 42:35
  Speaker 10: incredible platform and the ads, the ads are just on fire.
• 42:39
  Speaker 10: I love it.
• 42:41
  Speaker 4: Spencer Pratt does seem to have real insight in to
• 42:44
  Speaker 4: have the media operates. He's full CBS to publish their
• 42:48
  Speaker 4: unedited twenty seven minute interview with him after he accused
• 42:51
  Speaker 4: them of turning the interview into a hit pace for
• 42:54
  Speaker 4: Karen Bass's pr team. Pratt held the interview with CBS
• 42:58
  Speaker 4: at his school specific palisites Lot, which was then edited
• 43:02
  Speaker 4: into a biased five minute package. CBS has now published
• 43:07
  Speaker 4: the full version unedited, resulting in posting on x a
• 43:11
  Speaker 4: new era of responsible journalism. Thank you to CBS for
• 43:15
  Speaker 4: posting our full interview so the voters can hear from.
• 43:18
  Speaker 3: Their next may Stella.
• 43:20
  Speaker 4: He gets the media, seems to get messaging better than
• 43:24
  Speaker 4: many politicians.
• 43:26
  Speaker 10: Listen. He basically put CBS on notice. Also, he said, hey, CBS,
• 43:31
  Speaker 10: if you don't release the full version of this interview,
• 43:35
  Speaker 10: I will not give you one interview. And I think
• 43:37
  Speaker 10: that also scared them. But I have to tell you
• 43:40
  Speaker 10: I worked for CBS. I worked for mainstream media for
• 43:42
  Speaker 10: many years. I worked in Los Angeles. I worked in
• 43:45
  Speaker 10: those newsrooms, and there is a lot of bias. And
• 43:48
  Speaker 10: Spencer Pratt is coming out and he's saying, I'm not
• 43:50
  Speaker 10: playing these games with you guys. Okay, enough of this establishment.
• 43:54
  Speaker 10: This is a nonpartisan race, meaning it's not Democrats, not Republican,
• 43:57
  Speaker 10: it's not independent. It's for Angelina and Angelino's are sick
• 44:01
  Speaker 10: and tired of the same old problems that we're facing.
• 44:06
  Speaker 10: I mean, listen, he's running on a campaign of making
• 44:10
  Speaker 10: La safer for moms and children. Moms don't even feel
• 44:13
  Speaker 10: safe to take their strollers, their babies and their strollers
• 44:17
  Speaker 10: to parks because there's druggies there's homeless people all over
• 44:21
  Speaker 10: the place, and California is an expensive place to live.
• 44:25
  Speaker 10: When you live in Los Angeles and all of your
• 44:27
  Speaker 10: money is going to taxes, and then they're taxing you
• 44:29
  Speaker 10: to death and then taking that money again for the homelessness.
• 44:33
  Speaker 10: That the homelessess just continues to get worse. It's like
• 44:36
  Speaker 10: enough is enough.
• 44:38
  Speaker 3: I can understand that.
• 44:40
  Speaker 4: But when you look at the demographics, it's those moms
• 44:42
  Speaker 4: that tend to overwhelmingly support Democrats and leftist policy positions,
• 44:48
  Speaker 4: leftist politicians. How did they come to terms with that?
• 44:53
  Speaker 4: How do they come to terms to say, seeing Los
• 44:55
  Speaker 4: Angeles slowly destroyed, and yet they keep backing this same party,
• 45:00
  Speaker 4: the same politics.
• 45:03
  Speaker 10: I think it comes from hearing from somebody that says, look,
• 45:07
  Speaker 10: my main goal and my main mission is to make
• 45:11
  Speaker 10: your life better. And he is resonating with Democrats, he
• 45:16
  Speaker 10: is resonating with rep He's resonating with every single Angelino
• 45:21
  Speaker 10: because for the first time ever, you have a candidate
• 45:24
  Speaker 10: that you can't ignore. There's billboards all over the place,
• 45:27
  Speaker 10: there's these ads that are all over social media, and
• 45:30
  Speaker 10: a lot of you know, the younger families like his age,
• 45:33
  Speaker 10: they live online and they're seeing it and they're like, yeah,
• 45:36
  Speaker 10: that is my reality. Yeah that is Yeah. When I
• 45:39
  Speaker 10: pull up to a grocery store and I have homeless
• 45:41
  Speaker 10: people and I'm afraid to get out of my car,
• 45:43
  Speaker 10: or I have to lock my doors because I don't
• 45:45
  Speaker 10: know what's going to happen, or there was a murder
• 45:47
  Speaker 10: there just down the street, and I live in a
• 45:49
  Speaker 10: very nice neighborhood. It's not saying he's resonating.
• 45:54
  Speaker 12: He is.
• 45:55
  Speaker 3: Now we're going to get back to California.
• 45:56
  Speaker 4: But I just want to ask you about the rise
• 45:59
  Speaker 4: of these socialists in America. They call themselves democrats socialists,
• 46:04
  Speaker 4: but the socialists, I'd call them communists. He got zarn Man,
• 46:07
  Speaker 4: Donnie New York, Kaddie Wilson in Seattle, You've got IOSA
• 46:11
  Speaker 4: in Congress. How powerful is this movement within the Democrats?
• 46:17
  Speaker 10: Okay, so you hit it. You nailed it. Their DSA
• 46:20
  Speaker 10: Democrats Socialists of America. And I'm so happy you're covering
• 46:23
  Speaker 10: it because a lot of people don't even know who
• 46:24
  Speaker 10: they are in America. Even Spencer Pratt when he's talking
• 46:27
  Speaker 10: about DSA. You know Nicia Rahman, the other woman who's running,
• 46:30
  Speaker 10: she is a DSA member. So when he goes out
• 46:32
  Speaker 10: there and he's talking to people that are like, what's DSA?
• 46:35
  Speaker 10: There is Lamo Marxist. That's what they are. That's what
• 46:38
  Speaker 10: they are. They want to destroy America and they are
• 46:41
  Speaker 10: left of life. When you bring up aoc AOC is
• 46:44
  Speaker 10: not even Shockingly, she is not even DSA. I'm telling
• 46:49
  Speaker 10: you Rita. Like when people say that, I'm like, no, no,
• 46:52
  Speaker 10: she actually voted in favor of something for Israel, for
• 46:54
  Speaker 10: the Iron Dome. DSA wants a complete destruction, complete revolution
• 47:01
  Speaker 10: in the United States of America. Islamo Marxist. Look what's
• 47:04
  Speaker 10: happening in Mandami's NYC, you know, these protests has Bulahamas
• 47:10
  Speaker 10: literally happening as we speak right now in Jewish neighborhoods.
• 47:14
  Speaker 10: And by the way, Mandamie marched with these people up
• 47:18
  Speaker 10: until the day he became a mayor, and up until
• 47:22
  Speaker 10: right now he hasn't said anything about what is happening
• 47:25
  Speaker 10: in these neighborhoods, And neither has the first Lady of NYC, who,
• 47:29
  Speaker 10: by the way, you know, cheered on October seventh and
• 47:33
  Speaker 10: casually throws around the N word.
• 47:37
  Speaker 4: Well, yes, some of the posts she was liking were
• 47:41
  Speaker 4: just absolutely shocking a youth that household is something else.
• 47:46
  Speaker 4: Now back to California and the mayor of Arcadia, Eileen Wang,
• 47:51
  Speaker 4: has been charged with acting as an illegal foreign agent
• 47:55
  Speaker 4: for China. Starting in late twenty twenty, Wang and Yawnings
• 48:00
  Speaker 4: and work together to operate a website called US News
• 48:03
  Speaker 4: Center that purported to be a new source for the
• 48:06
  Speaker 4: local Chinese American community. The Justice Department said in a
• 48:10
  Speaker 4: play agreement that Wang and Son received and executed directives
• 48:15
  Speaker 4: from the People's Republic of China government officials to post
• 48:19
  Speaker 4: pro PRC content on the website and sometimes sought approval
• 48:23
  Speaker 4: from PRC government officials to circulate other pro PRC content.
• 48:28
  Speaker 3: Stella no surprises that she's a Democrat.
• 48:32
  Speaker 10: Man, Yeah, no surprises. The big question that Americans have
• 48:36
  Speaker 10: is how many more of her are there out there?
• 48:39
  Speaker 10: Let me make this clear to a lot of people
• 48:41
  Speaker 10: who people who are watching this. So she was behind
• 48:44
  Speaker 10: a website that just seemed like, you know, your average
• 48:47
  Speaker 10: community website, and meanwhile they were pushing Chinese propaganda. And
• 48:52
  Speaker 10: this was the other person involved was her fiance at
• 48:55
  Speaker 10: the time. But I have to tell you that is
• 48:57
  Speaker 10: not the biggest issue in California. Chinese people have bought
• 49:02
  Speaker 10: out neighborhoods during COVID when we were all on lockdown,
• 49:06
  Speaker 10: they were buying homes at like two hundred thousand dollars
• 49:10
  Speaker 10: asking price in cash. Okay. So now we have all
• 49:14
  Speaker 10: these neighborhoods and these are conversations that are being had
• 49:17
  Speaker 10: in California that are like, what is happening here? Like okay?
• 49:21
  Speaker 10: Not only that they're buying out land. Okay, this is
• 49:26
  Speaker 10: been investigated as we know right now at least nineteen
• 49:31
  Speaker 10: purchases near military bases. Why do they need Why do
• 49:36
  Speaker 10: they need land near military bases that actually have nuclear arsenal?
• 49:42
  Speaker 10: So Washington has been put on notice, and I think
• 49:45
  Speaker 10: they really need to take a closer look at what
• 49:47
  Speaker 10: is happening because now we have a mayor in Los
• 49:50
  Speaker 10: Angeles I'm sorry, near Los Angeles who was a spy
• 49:54
  Speaker 10: for China. We want to know how many more are
• 49:56
  Speaker 10: there and why are they buying out our land?
• 50:01
  Speaker 3: Stella's ESCAPEDO.
• 50:02
  Speaker 4: I'm sure we'll be at talking about this issue again soon.
• 50:05
  Speaker 4: Thank you so much for your time tonight, and that's
• 50:08
  Speaker 4: all the time we have. I'll see you at eleven
• 50:10
  Speaker 4: tomorrow night. Newsnight is up next,
