1:13
Speaker 2: want to start firstly with the Kamas leader Yahya Sinwa,
1:17
Speaker 2: being called a legendary martyr who.
1:20
Speaker 3: Died a warrior's death.
1:21
Speaker 2: Now, this was during a pro Palestine rally in Sydney's

1:29
Speaker 4: Became a legend, a legend to be child gentes freet Sorry, listen,
1:35
Speaker 4: jeez by jeez by your resist.
1:39
Speaker 2: Around the way and now have a look at this
1:42
Speaker 2: from a Sydney conference at the weekend with activists for
1:45
Speaker 2: his Butteria, a listed terror group of course overseas.
1:48
Speaker 3: One of the speakers, Sheik.
1:50
Speaker 2: Ibrahim Dadoun, told those gathered, Islam will dominate.
1:55
Speaker 5: Victory is coming, and you are not in Shahlah because
1:59
Speaker 5: we love a love, we love his prophet.
2:01
Speaker 6: We are on that path to victory.
2:03
Speaker 5: We are on that path of the civilizational struggle where
2:06
Speaker 5: we're going to see Islam dominate.
2:10
Speaker 3: And here was that same man on the streets of Sydney.
2:13
Speaker 2: Right after October seven's attack last year.
2:17
Speaker 5: Smiling and I'm happy, I'm his Adan.
2:23
Speaker 2: It's a day of courage.
2:34
Speaker 3: Gary.
2:34
Speaker 2: We've seen a lot of this rhetoric in Australia since,
2:37
Speaker 2: of course the October seven massacre. But how did we
2:40
Speaker 2: get to a point where people are openly calling the
2:43
Speaker 2: leader of hamas a.
2:44
Speaker 7: Warrior Well, A complete lack of leadership's part of the problem.
2:50
Speaker 7: Deniko the Prime Minister Sillis and worked out which way
2:53
Speaker 7: to go on any of this.
2:54
Speaker 1: What happened on.
2:54
Speaker 7: October nine last year, two days after October seven at
2:58
Speaker 7: the Opera House was just the edge of what now
3:01
Speaker 7: is a big wedge in Australia. But look, you know,
3:04
Speaker 7: let's just put this into some context. Most Muslims, and
3:06
Speaker 7: I've got a lot of Muslim friends, they're horrified by this.
3:09
Speaker 7: They want leadership from the Prime Minister, and they want
3:12
Speaker 7: new leadership within the Islamic communities.
3:15
Speaker 1: And it's a very very.
3:17
Speaker 7: Multicultural group of people, the Islamic communities of Australia. And
3:22
Speaker 7: the odd cleric that's talking like this and people making
3:26
Speaker 7: these sorts of outrageous comments, they're just not helping everyday Muslims.
3:30
Speaker 7: We're just trying to get on with their life, build
3:32
Speaker 7: around faith, family, food and being part of Australia. So
3:36
Speaker 7: you know, they're being badly defamed and Islam is being
3:39
Speaker 7: misrepresented by these people. So we've got to stay a
3:43
Speaker 7: bit calm and carry on. But the lack of leadership
3:45
Speaker 7: by the Prime Minister is a big thing, and the
3:48
Speaker 7: lack of good leadership among some of those who say
3:50
Speaker 7: they're the leaders of the Islamic communities of Australia. They're
3:53
Speaker 7: not helping the course, they're creating a lot of schism
3:56
Speaker 7: we do not need in Australia right now or at
3:59
Speaker 7: any time.
4:00
Speaker 2: Are You're completely right? And it's been from the very beginning.
4:02
Speaker 2: There's been a lack of leadership and here we are today.
4:06
Speaker 3: Now.
4:06
Speaker 2: I want to turn to the upcoming Queensland election. Exclusive
4:10
Speaker 2: polling by The Courier Mail reveals that Queensland is divided,
4:14
Speaker 2: with the Premier, Stephen Miles, holding an overwhelming majority in
4:18
Speaker 2: one part of the state, while David Chrisofoolly dominates in
4:21
Speaker 2: the regions. Now, the Premier's personal popularity is thirty six percent.
4:26
Speaker 2: That's one point below mister Chris fall is at thirty
4:29
Speaker 2: seven percent.
4:31
Speaker 3: Gary, How are you feeling about this? Are you confident
4:33
Speaker 3: that the.
4:34
Speaker 2: Liberals could actually get this over the line on Saturday?
4:39
Speaker 8: No?
4:39
Speaker 7: Not, And I think it's reasonable to say that the
4:42
Speaker 7: trend is not David Chrisofooley's friend.
4:44
Speaker 1: The more people see.
4:46
Speaker 7: Him, the less they like him, and a lot of
4:48
Speaker 7: what he's been saying completely missing the opportunity to bring
4:52
Speaker 7: people with him. He's holding back, He's not telling people,
4:56
Speaker 7: not exposing the real set of policies that he's got,
4:59
Speaker 7: because no one really knows. He only wants to talk
5:01
Speaker 7: about four things. But there's nothing, none of the basic
5:03
Speaker 7: stuff about Labour's budget blowouts and their misappropriation of taxpayer
5:09
Speaker 7: funds on all sorts of boondoggles. He's missed a lot
5:12
Speaker 7: of opportunities through this campaign and it's not been a
5:14
Speaker 7: good campaign. It's almost been a Seinfeld campaign from him,
5:18
Speaker 7: you know, a campaign about absolutely nothing. He wants to
5:20
Speaker 7: talk about four things, four things only. But when it
5:24
Speaker 7: comes to crime, that's the stock standard. When it comes
5:26
Speaker 7: to ambulance ramping, that's the stock standard. At a time
5:29
Speaker 7: when we've got building companies going broke in the middle
5:32
Speaker 7: of a housing crisis, it's got to be about government
5:34
Speaker 7: red tape that's causing a lot of those problems, cash
5:36
Speaker 7: flow and so forth. Nothing, nothing at all other than
5:39
Speaker 7: more government mechanisms.
5:41
Speaker 1: You've got to be joking.
5:42
Speaker 7: And I just think he's missed a whole lot of opportunity. Anyway,
5:46
Speaker 7: have any different view with the Labor Party when it
5:49
Speaker 7: comes to renewable energy and the reliance on that, whereas
5:51
Speaker 7: we've got this beautiful black stuff in the ground called coal.
5:54
Speaker 7: It used to give us the cheapest electricity in the
5:56
Speaker 7: world here in Coinsland. Now we're amongst the most expensive.
6:00
Speaker 7: Nothing on it cricket. So I think a lot of
6:02
Speaker 7: people are pretty disappointed. Younger people, people aged under fifty
6:07
Speaker 7: are sticking with Labor. People over fifty are sticking with
6:10
Speaker 7: the Liberal National Party. I think it could go anyway, Daneka,
6:14
Speaker 7: anyway at all.
6:15
Speaker 2: Yeah, Look, it's an interesting analysis and we will await
6:19
Speaker 2: Saturday's result.
6:21
Speaker 3: Now you mentioned housing there.
6:23
Speaker 2: Big business is calling for a massive reform mechanism to
6:27
Speaker 2: try and fix the housing crisis in this country. The
6:30
Speaker 2: Business Council of Australia has made twenty nine recommendations targeting
6:35
Speaker 2: regulatory changes, changes to planning approvals processes, zoning, as well
6:40
Speaker 2: as heritage management. Gary look. Housing is a key issue
6:43
Speaker 2: obviously across the country. People can't afford to buy, they
6:46
Speaker 2: can't afford to rent. Big policy shifts the ultimate solution.
6:53
Speaker 1: Absolutely they are.
6:54
Speaker 7: I mean, why is it that people say, of your age,
6:57
Speaker 7: you're younger than Mednika. I'm having an it that it
7:00
Speaker 7: wouldn't be hard to work that out. Why is it
7:02
Speaker 7: that you can't access your superannuation and use that as
7:05
Speaker 7: an asset to purchase, say through a deposit, your first home.
7:09
Speaker 7: Why is it that we've got to lock up twelve
7:11
Speaker 7: percent of our wages into the hands of mainly union
7:14
Speaker 7: based superannuation funds on the promise that maybe by the
7:17
Speaker 7: time you have something near seventy you'll be able to
7:20
Speaker 7: access it. That we have got a real problem, a
7:23
Speaker 7: regulatory burden that is driving business companies building companies into
7:27
Speaker 7: bankruptcy because the cost of burden through government red tape,
7:33
Speaker 7: green tape, blue tape, black tape, blue tape is the
7:35
Speaker 7: United Nations inspired stuff. The Business Council is right though
7:39
Speaker 7: they've been asleep at the wheel for most of the
7:41
Speaker 7: last twenty years on this stuff.
7:42
Speaker 1: They've allowed this to happen.
7:44
Speaker 7: We've got to get government out of our lives. Delete
7:47
Speaker 7: the red tape, delete all of this various tape, and
7:50
Speaker 7: trust people and release land and allow people to get
7:54
Speaker 7: on with building. Why is it that we've got this problem.
7:56
Speaker 7: It's too much government intervention. And what does the government say,
7:59
Speaker 7: let us been a bit more and we'll fix it.
8:01
Speaker 7: They cause the problem in the first place. So that's
8:04
Speaker 7: the sort of change we need in my view.
8:07
Speaker 2: Absolutely it's time for some big, bold changes. We need
8:10
Speaker 2: our leaders as well to say yep, it's time now. Look,
8:13
Speaker 2: the Commonwealth Bank has promised to reverse duplicate transactions after
8:17
Speaker 2: refund fees and a major glitch caused many affected customers
8:22
Speaker 2: actually to get duplicates, which is extraordinary. Gary, were you
8:26
Speaker 2: at all impacted here?
8:30
Speaker 8: No?
8:31
Speaker 7: I wasn't. I don't bank with them. I bank with
8:34
Speaker 7: the best of the big bad four. But look, I
8:37
Speaker 7: mean every bank has its problems from time to time.
8:39
Speaker 1: We're so susceptible to.
8:41
Speaker 7: Everything cyber related, aren't we, And so we still have
8:45
Speaker 7: to tidy up all this stuff.
8:46
Speaker 1: They don't want us to use cash.
8:47
Speaker 7: They want us to rely on bank transactions and swipe
8:50
Speaker 7: our mobile phones and all these sorts of things.
8:53
Speaker 1: But cash still remains king.
8:54
Speaker 7: And I don't understand this whole push and shove to
8:56
Speaker 7: get us away from cash. They want to charge us
8:59
Speaker 7: more every time time we use the transaction cards or
9:02
Speaker 7: a mobile phone or whatever for a transaction. And that's
9:05
Speaker 7: kind of fair enough, of course, it discloses it, but Donika,
9:08
Speaker 7: cash is still king. And the banks have got to
9:11
Speaker 7: get back to some of those back up paper copies
9:14
Speaker 7: of stuff They don't want that though. It's all just
9:16
Speaker 7: too hard because it relies on too many people in
9:20
Speaker 7: the whole process. But no, no, it's their term this
9:23
Speaker 7: week going to be somebody else's next week.
9:24
Speaker 3: I fear that's the problem with this technology. But you're right.
9:27
Speaker 2: This is why cash is still so important in our society. Now,
9:31
Speaker 2: the Victorian Premier descent to Alan, has united with the
9:34
Speaker 2: opposition in knocking back a bold plant and trial a
9:38
Speaker 2: four day work week to address the state's shortage and teachers.
9:42
Speaker 3: Now.
9:42
Speaker 2: This comes after a research paper by Monash University recommended
9:46
Speaker 2: trialing a four day work week for teachers to better
9:50
Speaker 2: meet the needs of staff and students.
9:53
Speaker 3: Gary, would you support this?
9:54
Speaker 2: I mean, look, teachers are unfortunately, they're struggling to get
9:58
Speaker 2: teachers right now.
9:59
Speaker 3: Is this the only solution?
10:03
Speaker 1: Well, no, it's not.
10:04
Speaker 7: It's rewarding good teachers with a bigger pay packet would
10:07
Speaker 7: be the answer. The trouble is too much of the
10:08
Speaker 7: teaching profession relies on time served for advancement and you
10:13
Speaker 7: get a bigger pay when you leave the classroom and
10:15
Speaker 7: take on admin roles. If we actually said we want
10:18
Speaker 7: to pay master teachers a high wage as a career
10:21
Speaker 7: path that involves them still teaching, and then you've got
10:23
Speaker 7: to back the teachers when they're in the classroom. With
10:25
Speaker 7: too many people in education systems being subjected to bullying
10:29
Speaker 7: by parents, by kids, and the system itself, you know,
10:33
Speaker 7: they're so under rewarded.
10:34
Speaker 1: I saw a suggestion in.
10:35
Speaker 7: The United States over the weekend, and maybe some of
10:38
Speaker 7: the great public servants were short on and I'm talking
10:40
Speaker 7: about frontline people like police, like nurses, like teachers. Maybe
10:44
Speaker 7: we've got to give them a different tax treatment. Maybe
10:46
Speaker 7: we've got to give them a tax free incentive to
10:49
Speaker 7: stay there. Maybe we've got to find a way to
10:51
Speaker 7: pay them to be good at what they do, rather
10:53
Speaker 7: than just simply say, oh, you're all the same. And
10:56
Speaker 7: the longer you stay, whether you're a good teacher or
10:58
Speaker 7: a bad teacher, you'll get paid more. Teaching's a tough profession.
11:02
Speaker 7: Schools are tough places. It shouldn't be like this, But
11:06
Speaker 7: you know, we're not rewarding the great teachers the science
11:09
Speaker 7: in English and maths heroes that we want to pass
11:11
Speaker 7: on knowledge from them to others. We're just not rewarding
11:14
Speaker 7: them well enough. And we need to do better.
11:17
Speaker 3: Absolutely, that's so true.
11:19
Speaker 2: Now as we know their majesties, King Charles and Queen Camilla,
11:22
Speaker 2: they're in the country and we saw that wonderful vision
11:25
Speaker 2: of them yesterday, delighting fans in Sydney. And King Charles
11:29
Speaker 2: has also been recognized with prestigious honorary rankings. Gary, How
11:33
Speaker 2: wonderful has it been to see a raining monarch down
11:37
Speaker 2: under again?
11:39
Speaker 1: Yeah?
11:40
Speaker 7: It's what thirteen years since her late majesty was here
11:43
Speaker 7: and I remember that fondly. I admit on about five
11:46
Speaker 7: occasions over the years, Denika, and it sits pright a
11:50
Speaker 7: place in my household photos that I have with her
11:53
Speaker 7: when I was presented. You know, these visits are really important.
11:57
Speaker 7: They remind us that, as somebody once said, you can
12:00
Speaker 7: only believe the royal family if you can actually see them,
12:02
Speaker 7: so to see us as to believe us.
12:04
Speaker 1: I think her late Majesty's attributed with that. But you know, it's.
12:07
Speaker 7: Interesting about the awards and the honors and stuff. People
12:10
Speaker 7: made great play about Tony Abbott giving a knighthood an
12:15
Speaker 7: Australian Order a knighthood and they.
12:18
Speaker 1: Sent him up for it.
12:19
Speaker 7: But King Charles is in Parliament House, been in Parliament
12:21
Speaker 7: House today and What's he got around his neck the
12:23
Speaker 7: knighthood he was given by Bob Hawk in nineteen eighty eight.
12:27
Speaker 7: So you know, there's nothing new in members of the
12:29
Speaker 7: royal family being conferred these honors. King Charles is now
12:33
Speaker 7: the head of the Order of Australia. The Governor General
12:36
Speaker 7: does the day to day stuff, but he's got the
12:40
Speaker 7: knighthood around his neck as he's walking around Parliament House
12:43
Speaker 7: and nobody's picked up on it. Maybe this is the
12:46
Speaker 7: first program too, but that's the reality. What Tony Abbott
12:50
Speaker 7: did those years ago. Nothing unusual with anything. Her late
12:53
Speaker 7: Majesty had a dame hood as well, conferred back when
12:57
Speaker 7: the Order first started, way back in nineteen eighty four
13:01
Speaker 7: or thereabouts, was it nineteen seventy five, don't know whenever,
13:04
Speaker 7: it was long time ago, Danika, and I guess it's
13:08
Speaker 7: great to see it's great to see King Charles here
13:11
Speaker 7: with his case around his neck.
13:13
Speaker 3: Oh look, I completely agree.
13:15
Speaker 2: And look, you know, unfortunately there've been protests surrounding his visit,
13:19
Speaker 2: the pro Palestine movement, the Aboriginal movement.
13:22
Speaker 3: But I want to.
13:22
Speaker 2: Show you this Gary because directly following the conclusion of
13:26
Speaker 2: the King's speech at the royal reception in Canberra today,
13:29
Speaker 2: Lydia Thorpe launched into a tirade in an attempt to
13:32
Speaker 2: disrupt the event.
13:34
Speaker 3: Have a look at this kind of signed against our people.
13:48
Speaker 3: Get up our.
13:49
Speaker 9: Landback, give us my.
13:50
Speaker 4: New style from us, our bones, our scar, our baby
13:55
Speaker 4: people treating in this country.
14:14
Speaker 2: Oh my god, Gary, that is I'm actually appalled and
14:17
Speaker 2: I'm embarrassed that the monarchy have had to witness that.
14:20
Speaker 3: What's your immediate reaction.
14:24
Speaker 7: I shouldn't say it was an ak not a KC
14:26
Speaker 7: around his neck. I'm just correcting myself, But Danika, look,
14:29
Speaker 7: numpties have got a numpty and people have a right
14:32
Speaker 7: to be stupid, and Lydia thought makes full use of
14:35
Speaker 7: her rights on most days of the week. But look
14:39
Speaker 7: the royal couple were afforded were afforded about five welcomes
14:43
Speaker 7: to country on Nunawhah Land around Canberra today.
14:46
Speaker 1: I don't know what they're on about. I really don't.
14:48
Speaker 1: It doesn't help.
14:49
Speaker 3: No, it doesn't help you. Spot on. Gary Hardgrave, great
14:52
Speaker 3: to speak with you as.
14:53
Speaker 2: Always, Thank you so much for joining us. Joining me
14:56
Speaker 2: now is child an adolescent psychologist and Sky News country
15:00
Speaker 2: Claire Row Claire thank you for joining me. I want
15:02
Speaker 2: to start with this story about the top universities who
15:06
Speaker 2: have been accused of lowering academic and English standards in
15:09
Speaker 2: once prestigious master's degrees as postgraduate courses at Sandstone institutions
15:16
Speaker 2: become increasingly dominated by international students. This is according to
15:20
Speaker 2: nine newspapers. They're saying that popular postgraduate business, engineering and
15:24
Speaker 2: media subjects at Sydney and Melbourne Universities as well as
15:28
Speaker 2: unsw can have more than ninety percent foreign enrollments, mostly
15:32
Speaker 2: from China.
15:33
Speaker 3: Claire. This is pretty bad.
15:35
Speaker 2: If universities are in decompromising standards to accommodate foreign students, what.
15:40
Speaker 3: Does it say about the state of the sector.
15:44
Speaker 10: Well, it says that they rely very, very heavily, don't
15:47
Speaker 10: they on the fee paying international students. I'm not surprised
15:52
Speaker 10: by it. I think I was a little surprised just
15:54
Speaker 10: the numbers some of these courses. We have ninety percent
15:59
Speaker 10: of international students, say in a lecture, in a tutorial,
16:02
Speaker 10: where ten percent of local students are now spending their
16:06
Speaker 10: time as kind of quasi teachers tutors helping them, reiterating instructions.
16:11
Speaker 10: And of course, you know, I think a lot of
16:14
Speaker 10: university based teaching.
16:16
Speaker 6: Now is group assignments and.
16:18
Speaker 10: Group assessment work, and that also is fundamentally a problem
16:22
Speaker 10: if you're in a group of students who a lot
16:24
Speaker 10: of them can't speak English. It's really becoming at a
16:30
Speaker 10: point where I think the universities essentially are selling the degrees.
16:34
Speaker 6: Are they They're a product?
16:36
Speaker 10: I mean, these international students come over here and they
16:38
Speaker 10: purchase the.
16:39
Speaker 6: Degree, and it doesn't.
16:41
Speaker 10: Seem to be that then we're holding up the academic
16:44
Speaker 10: rigor you, so you have to kind of question what
16:47
Speaker 10: the degree is worth. But I actually would go further
16:50
Speaker 10: and say that I think that the slipping academic standards
16:54
Speaker 10: for universities are in courses that don't necessarily have a
16:57
Speaker 10: large international comp I mean, I see graduates coming out
17:03
Speaker 10: that I employ and are really struggling with the basics
17:06
Speaker 10: of grammar and English and writing. And I think you
17:10
Speaker 10: don't really fail university degrees as long as you.
17:14
Speaker 6: Hand stuff in, do you.
17:15
Speaker 10: I mean, it seems to be that the past rate.
17:17
Speaker 6: Everyone passes through. So it's a big issue.
17:21
Speaker 10: And you know, international students, perhaps they need a separate
17:25
Speaker 10: course or a separate group where local students have their
17:30
Speaker 10: own group I'm not sure, but I think we need
17:32
Speaker 10: to rethink of it.
17:34
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think so too, very much.
17:36
Speaker 1: So.
17:36
Speaker 2: Now this is interesting because a new South Wales ban
17:39
Speaker 2: on mobile phones and schools has been near universally hailed
17:43
Speaker 2: as a success by almost one thousand school leaders one
17:46
Speaker 2: year on. This was according to a survey by the
17:49
Speaker 2: Department of Education of primary and high school principles. It
17:52
Speaker 2: found that ninety five percent actually supported the ban and
17:56
Speaker 2: eighty seven percent say it has reduced classroom distract actions. Claire,
18:01
Speaker 2: are you surprised by how well this has gone?
18:04
Speaker 10: No, of course not. This is no surprise at all.
18:07
Speaker 10: We should have never really allowed mobile phones into school.
18:11
Speaker 10: I mean this should have been done years ago. We
18:14
Speaker 10: know absolutely that mobile phones for adults as well. You
18:19
Speaker 10: know the distractability that they provide when we're trying to work.
18:24
Speaker 10: If you get distracted by notifications, even if it's vibrating
18:28
Speaker 10: or buzzing in your pocket and you have a quick
18:30
Speaker 10: look at it, on average, we know research shows us
18:33
Speaker 10: that it takes up to twenty minutes to get back
18:36
Speaker 10: into focusing on the work that you were previously doing.
18:39
Speaker 10: It's constant distractions and a huge source to of kids
18:44
Speaker 10: not socializing and interacting.
18:45
Speaker 6: So no common sense.
18:47
Speaker 10: It was never going to be any other way, and
18:49
Speaker 10: mobile phones gone should not be in schools.
18:52
Speaker 2: I completely agree, it's been long overdue. Good to say
18:55
Speaker 2: it's had such an astounding result now. Kristen students at
18:59
Speaker 2: an elite christ school in Melbourne have complained that they
19:01
Speaker 2: are not allowed to display crosses on necklaces for fear
19:04
Speaker 2: of offending non Christian students. This is according to students
19:09
Speaker 2: that Methodist Ladies College in Q. They say that they
19:12
Speaker 2: were not allowed to publicly identify as Christians, while their
19:15
Speaker 2: classmates would you believe were allowed to identify as cats.
19:19
Speaker 2: A spokesperson from MLC said the school was deeply committed
19:23
Speaker 2: to fostering a culture of inclusion, respect and diversity, saying
19:26
Speaker 2: our Christian heritage serves as a foundation for welcoming individuals
19:30
Speaker 2: of all faiths, cultures, and backgrounds, and fostering an environment
19:34
Speaker 2: where every student is supported in expressing their identity and beliefs.
19:38
Speaker 3: Regarding religious jewelries.
19:40
Speaker 2: Such as cross necklaces, the college's uniform policy supports consistent
19:44
Speaker 2: presentation among students while respecting individual beliefs. Claire Look talk
19:49
Speaker 2: about double standards. They claim that they are trying to
19:52
Speaker 2: foster a culture of diversity. They're a Christian school, but
19:55
Speaker 2: of banned crosses. Have I missed something?
19:59
Speaker 10: This is un believable and I assumed when I saw
20:02
Speaker 10: this this was a state public school. I mean, there's
20:05
Speaker 10: literally like Methodist in the title of the school.
20:08
Speaker 6: It's a Christian school.
20:10
Speaker 10: I mean, it's unbelievable hypocrisy. And the statement by the
20:16
Speaker 10: school to say that we are, you know, all for
20:18
Speaker 10: inclusion and diversity is verging on gas lighting, because clearly
20:23
Speaker 10: it's not inclusion and diversity, it's just selective exclusion of
20:29
Speaker 10: the majority of the Christians.
20:31
Speaker 6: From the Christian school. I mean, this is staggering to men.
20:36
Speaker 10: I believe that this came about because another student raised
20:39
Speaker 10: it with a teacher that they felt offended by their
20:42
Speaker 10: fellow student wearing across. And I would have thought, that's
20:46
Speaker 10: a great opportunity to talk to that you know, so
20:49
Speaker 10: called offended student about those principles of diversity and inclusion,
20:55
Speaker 10: rather than asking the other student to take the cross off.
20:59
Speaker 10: I don't know what parents expect when they send their
21:01
Speaker 10: kids to a Christian school, but it's certainly not being
21:04
Speaker 10: asked to remove any signs that you are a Christian.
21:07
Speaker 2: It's absolutely bizarre your spot on now that we're almost
21:10
Speaker 2: out of time. But children held in Queensland watch houses
21:13
Speaker 2: are being bunked together in tiny cells with poor ventilation,
21:16
Speaker 2: no natural light and no privacy and meters away from
21:20
Speaker 2: adult prisoners. That's according to the Queensland Council of Social Services.
21:24
Speaker 3: Claire.
21:24
Speaker 2: If this is the case, what sort of an impact
21:26
Speaker 2: could this have on children's development?
21:29
Speaker 11: Oh?
21:29
Speaker 10: Huge, This is horrific if this is the case, and
21:32
Speaker 10: it needs a complete rethink of what the aim is
21:35
Speaker 10: of putting very young children into detention. These children who
21:39
Speaker 10: have already come from chaotic backgrounds, lack of role models, trauma,
21:44
Speaker 10: and we are doubling down and making that.
21:47
Speaker 6: Worse for them.
21:48
Speaker 10: Rather than providing them a way forward, education, role modeling
21:53
Speaker 10: and rehabilitation for them, we're actually compounding their trauma and
21:58
Speaker 10: we're sending them into a side of just repeated and detention, incarceration.
22:03
Speaker 10: It's absolutely horrific and I would say verging on child.
22:07
Speaker 6: Abuse if that is what's happening.
22:09
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just awful to see Claire Row. Great to
22:11
Speaker 2: have you on as always. Thank you so much for
22:13
Speaker 2: joining us this evening. Coming up after the break, Donald
22:16
Speaker 2: Trump maintains Kamla Harris has never worked a McDonald's shift
22:20
Speaker 2: in her life, as he serves customers and a drive
22:23
Speaker 2: through in Pennsylvania. Alex Stein is standing by with the
22:28
Speaker 2: latest details. Now it's time for lefties losing it, starting
22:41
Speaker 2: with the bizarre and quite frankly concerning ways those devoid
22:45
Speaker 2: of all joy try and find joy. It's the poking
23:05
Speaker 2: one another that does it for me. Now for the
23:08
Speaker 2: Kamala Harris campaign, which is getting even more desperate. This
23:13
Speaker 2: time it's acting as some sort of Tinder dating service.
23:17
Speaker 2: And get ready, ladies, we present to you this potential
23:21
Speaker 2: love interest.
23:22
Speaker 1: Hello ladies, entre, it's good to be here.
23:26
Speaker 9: So what do you do and how much do you?
23:29
Speaker 1: I'll work in finance making six figures.
23:32
Speaker 9: How tall are you?
23:33
Speaker 1: Six?
23:34
Speaker 6: You reckon?
23:35
Speaker 1: I like to stay at for you?
23:37
Speaker 2: Okay, so we own six figures. He six ' five
23:40
Speaker 2: is an attractive man. What could possibly be the problem?
23:45
Speaker 1: Do you have a plan to move?
23:47
Speaker 9: I didn't plan on it.
23:57
Speaker 3: Don't get popped. So let me get this right.
24:01
Speaker 2: If you don't vote for Karmela, you'll never find a girlfriend. Yes,
24:06
Speaker 2: this really is the bottom of the pie to revolving
24:08
Speaker 2: circus clown show, and look the freaks are on display,
24:12
Speaker 2: because here is a way.
24:14
Speaker 3: For the Democrats to win over the working class.
24:17
Speaker 2: Enlist singer Lizzo and her big private jet.
24:23
Speaker 12: Democracy hadn't even sell democracy?
24:36
Speaker 2: Whatever happened to the Dems always boring us with their
24:38
Speaker 2: emissions warnings.
24:40
Speaker 3: But nonetheless, I mean fantastic.
24:42
Speaker 2: Using Lizzo, the woman who had previously been sued for
24:45
Speaker 2: sexual harassment and creating a hostile work environment.
24:49
Speaker 3: So what could she possibly add to a campaign.
24:52
Speaker 2: That prides itself on a quality in fairness.
24:55
Speaker 13: I'm feel proud to be from this city.
24:58
Speaker 8: You know.
24:58
Speaker 13: They say if Karmel wins, then the whole country will
25:01
Speaker 13: be like Detroit, like Detroit, resilient like Detroit.
25:09
Speaker 2: Is that the same Detroit that was ranked the second
25:13
Speaker 2: least safe city in the US. It's good to know
25:16
Speaker 2: America is in safe hands now. Not the Trump needs
25:21
Speaker 2: any more Harris campaign.
25:23
Speaker 3: Material, but you know you're in trouble when you at.
25:25
Speaker 2: Least your husband who refers to himself as the second
25:29
Speaker 2: gentleman to appear in a hostage video.
25:33
Speaker 6: Everyone second gentleman here.
25:34
Speaker 14: We've got to all get out there and make sure
25:37
Speaker 14: you're registered and make sure you're voting early for my wife.
25:42
Speaker 6: And Marmala Kamala Harris for a president of the United States.
25:45
Speaker 3: You can go to I will vote dot com to
25:47
Speaker 3: check your polling place and make sure to vote early.
25:50
Speaker 15: I will get you voting early and vote for Kamala.
25:57
Speaker 2: They were forced to do that, I mean, clearly has
25:59
Speaker 2: anybody checked on they okay? So while Dougie is holding
26:03
Speaker 2: people against their will, Kamala appears to be very excited.
26:09
Speaker 11: Shot your own name for a minute, what I'm talking about,
26:17
Speaker 11: because it's about you, it's about your family, It's about
26:22
Speaker 11: you what I'm talking about.
26:26
Speaker 3: And some people have claimed that she looks drunk in
26:28
Speaker 3: that clip. No judgment here, and look, the.
26:32
Speaker 2: Freak Show wouldn't be complete without the chief loon herself,
26:35
Speaker 2: MSNBC host Joy Reid, who is out.
26:38
Speaker 3: There pulling fearmongering tricks out of a hat.
26:42
Speaker 8: The last thing I will say is that if Donald
26:44
Speaker 8: Trump does win, there won't be a Democrats go back
26:48
Speaker 8: and figure out how to get more voters and figure
26:50
Speaker 8: out how to change your positions. There will be camps,
26:55
Speaker 8: there will be Project twenty twenty five. There could be
27:00
Speaker 8: arrest of people like Adam Schiff. There could be Nancy
27:04
Speaker 8: Pelosi being hauled off to jail.
27:07
Speaker 2: Now more lefties are losing it with my next guest
27:10
Speaker 2: in just a second. But first, Donald Trump has tried
27:13
Speaker 2: his hand at making French fries Adam McDonald's in Pennsylvania.
27:18
Speaker 3: You want to give it runk.
27:19
Speaker 13: I do.
27:22
Speaker 6: When I'm asking your hands, and then you can go
27:27
Speaker 6: right into here on the left to right here are
27:30
Speaker 6: here slowly gently lowered into the oil and I want
27:32
Speaker 6: to bring yourself up.
27:34
Speaker 1: Now there you go, and then we're.
27:39
Speaker 2: Gonna hit a bright homer right here.
27:43
Speaker 1: That won't going good?
27:45
Speaker 3: How good is that? Even had to go at the
27:47
Speaker 3: drive through?
27:50
Speaker 6: What's good listening to them?
27:52
Speaker 14: Hello, everybody, this is not a normal situation as it happened.
28:00
Speaker 1: What a good look?
28:00
Speaker 14: Exams?
28:01
Speaker 6: How did you produce? They look like?
28:05
Speaker 1: They look like? How are you?
28:07
Speaker 16: They agreed?
28:08
Speaker 6: That great?
28:11
Speaker 8: Right here?
28:11
Speaker 6: Thank you?
28:12
Speaker 2: And he also declared he's the first and only twenty
28:16
Speaker 2: twenty four presidential nominee to work at McDonald's, despite Kamala
28:20
Speaker 2: Harris's assurances that she works there in the eighties. You
28:24
Speaker 2: know that the same lines she keeps peddling out as
28:26
Speaker 2: part of the I'm from a middle class background.
28:29
Speaker 1: Spill.
28:30
Speaker 17: I've now worked for fifteen minutes more than Kamala.
28:33
Speaker 6: Are you gonna put this on your resume? It never
28:35
Speaker 6: worked here? Why would she lie about that? Spot like that?
28:39
Speaker 6: Who's been put on your resume? Worked at McDonald's. Why
28:42
Speaker 6: would she lie about that?
28:44
Speaker 18: Why?
28:44
Speaker 6: Because she's laying Kamala this one.
28:47
Speaker 2: Jody me now is the host of Prime Time with
28:49
Speaker 2: Alex Stein on Blaze TV. Alex Stein, Alex, good to
28:53
Speaker 2: see you. Is this a stroke of genius by Donald Trump?
28:58
Speaker 6: Well?
28:58
Speaker 16: Absolutely, if you think about it. Kamala Harris lied about
29:02
Speaker 16: working at McDonald's. Nobody worked with her, they talked to corporate.
29:06
Speaker 16: There is no record or indication that she was ever
29:08
Speaker 16: an employee there. So Donald Trump knows that. And if
29:11
Speaker 16: Kamala Harris will lie about cooking French fries, she.
29:14
Speaker 6: Will lie about anything else. So I think this is
29:16
Speaker 6: very important for the campaign.
29:18
Speaker 16: Ascility as it may seem, this made a huge point,
29:21
Speaker 16: especially to the American people that love McDonald's. Donald Trump
29:24
Speaker 16: is a man of the people, and he's not afraid
29:26
Speaker 16: of a big mac or a large order of French fries.
29:29
Speaker 3: Absolutely, it was so good to just see him out there.
29:31
Speaker 2: He doesn't care, and I just think it's brilliant. Now
29:34
Speaker 2: Donald Trump is calling for CBS to have its license
29:37
Speaker 2: pulled over Kamala Harris's recent interview of Course with sixty minutes,
29:41
Speaker 2: claiming it was edited to make her look good.
29:43
Speaker 3: This is what he says.
29:46
Speaker 14: She gives an answer that shows that she's dumb, or incompetent,
29:50
Speaker 14: or something wrong with her. It's so bad that the
29:54
Speaker 14: people at CBS say, we're going to do a little editing,
29:58
Speaker 14: like the word the make it there something you understand.
30:02
Speaker 14: They take the whole ridiculous answer out and it was
30:07
Speaker 14: a long answer and replace it with a much shorter
30:11
Speaker 14: answer that she did having to do with the totally
30:14
Speaker 14: different subject, which he also didn't make sense.
30:17
Speaker 2: Alex, Why won't CBS just release the unedited types.
30:22
Speaker 16: Well, the left wing media here in America hates Donald Trump.
30:25
Speaker 16: Yet Donald Trump had a show called The Apprentice. I
30:28
Speaker 16: was number one. I mean Donald Trump was loved by rappers,
30:31
Speaker 16: by actors, by professional athletes. And now the media absolutely
30:35
Speaker 16: hates him and will do anything to skew him.
30:37
Speaker 6: In this negative light.
30:39
Speaker 16: So of course they're going to help Kamala Harris, who
30:42
Speaker 16: stinks in interviews, who's very terrible at speaking, you know, improvisationally.
30:47
Speaker 6: So no, I'm not surprised.
30:49
Speaker 16: This has only been happening and over the past twelve years,
30:52
Speaker 16: even since before Donald Trump's president.
30:54
Speaker 6: So you know, this is terrible.
30:56
Speaker 16: But our left wing media, they controlled the narrative and
30:58
Speaker 16: they can create whatever bias they want that helps the
31:02
Speaker 16: leftist win this twenty twenty four election.
31:06
Speaker 2: Yeah, and Carmela as we know, she can't speak without
31:08
Speaker 2: a telliprompter.
31:09
Speaker 3: So I'm sure that's also got to do with it too.
31:11
Speaker 3: And you mentioned the lefty media. Look, let's talk about.
31:14
Speaker 2: MSNBC, the usual lunatic broadcasting station. They're having an absolute
31:20
Speaker 2: freak out. Host Al Sharpton and frequent guest Donnie Deutsch
31:25
Speaker 2: claimed that Donald Trump would place them on an enemy's
31:28
Speaker 2: list if he was elected president.
31:30
Speaker 3: Again, have a look, Rev.
31:33
Speaker 1: Are you worried going forward that you're on a list
31:36
Speaker 1: if Donald Trump is elected? Yes or no, I'm convinced
31:40
Speaker 1: I'll be on the list. I too. I don't know
31:42
Speaker 1: how we're not going to be. And think about that.
31:44
Speaker 16: This is America, this is the United States of America,
31:47
Speaker 16: and people in the media like the Rev have to be.
31:50
Speaker 1: Concerned that they may be on a list. I have
31:53
Speaker 1: people saying to me, Donnie, are you worried?
31:56
Speaker 16: This is America and yet people will still give promis
32:00
Speaker 16: to vote for Donald Trump.
32:01
Speaker 6: What's wrong with.
32:02
Speaker 2: Us, Alex This is so funny. The paranoia knows no bounds.
32:08
Speaker 3: It must be.
32:08
Speaker 2: Absolutely exhausting for these hosts at MSNBC.
32:13
Speaker 6: Well, of course they had to play the victim.
32:15
Speaker 16: But Al Sharpman was there when Jesse Jackson gave Donald
32:18
Speaker 16: Trump an naacp awar, So here's nothing to worry about.
32:21
Speaker 6: And Donald Trump loves the media.
32:22
Speaker 16: Donny Deuytce's career would only go up because Donald Trump
32:25
Speaker 16: would actually probably do an interview with somebody, even if
32:28
Speaker 16: there are leftists, Even if they are, you know, a
32:31
Speaker 16: sad excuse for a journalist, Donald Trump will still speak
32:33
Speaker 16: to those people. So they don't realize this would help
32:35
Speaker 16: their ratings much more than Kambala Harris will probably get
32:38
Speaker 16: us into World War three or a recession or a
32:41
Speaker 16: financial collapse in the next four years in my.
32:44
Speaker 3: Opinions, Yeah, that's a really good point.
32:46
Speaker 2: Now let's talk about the Al Smith dinner, the one,
32:49
Speaker 2: of course that Kamala Harris missed and sent in this really.
32:54
Speaker 3: Really cringe worthy pre recorded video.
32:56
Speaker 19: Instead, You're Eminence and distinguished guests. The Al Smith Dinner
33:03
Speaker 19: provides a rare opportunity to set aside partisanship. I'm sorry, Sorry,
33:09
Speaker 19: what's going on?
33:10
Speaker 3: Who was that? Sorry?
33:11
Speaker 18: Mary Kepanelli, Mary coming on.
33:14
Speaker 19: Very nice to meet you, Mary Catherine. Right now, I'm
33:16
Speaker 19: trying to record my speech for tonight's dinner.
33:19
Speaker 9: Oh yeah, I know.
33:20
Speaker 12: I just want to say that I'm Catholic and tonight
33:22
Speaker 12: is one of the biggest dinners next.
33:23
Speaker 3: To the Last Supper.
33:24
Speaker 19: It is a very important dinner and it's an important
33:27
Speaker 19: tradition that I'm so proud to be a part of
33:30
Speaker 19: a good grave.
33:31
Speaker 2: And now she's been, as you can imagine, totally roasted.
33:34
Speaker 17: I was shocked when I heard that Kamala was skipping
33:37
Speaker 17: the Al Smith dinner. I'd really hope that she would come,
33:40
Speaker 17: because we can't get enough of hearing her beautiful laugh.
33:43
Speaker 17: Instead of attending tonight, she's in Michigan receiving communion from
33:48
Speaker 17: Gretchen Whitmer. If you really wanted Vice President Harris to
33:51
Speaker 17: accept your invitation, I guess you should have told her
33:54
Speaker 17: the funds we're going to bail out the looters and
33:59
Speaker 17: writers and Minneapolis, and she would have been here.
34:01
Speaker 20: Guaranteed, Catholics will be a key demographic in every battle
34:06
Speaker 20: ground state. I'm sorry, why is Vice President Harris not here?
34:12
Speaker 8: Oh?
34:12
Speaker 3: I just love the roasting Alex.
34:15
Speaker 2: You know who is advising Kamala to do these ridiculous videos.
34:18
Speaker 3: It's so embarrassing.
34:20
Speaker 16: And you know, Molly Shannon, the actress in that SNL clip,
34:24
Speaker 16: was hilarious. But what they did is they lampooned Catholics,
34:27
Speaker 16: and that's what they tried to do. There was recently
34:29
Speaker 16: a rally where somebody said Jesus is King and Kamala
34:31
Speaker 16: Harris said, this is the wrong rally. So it's very
34:34
Speaker 16: obvious to Kamala Harris does not care about people that believe.
34:37
Speaker 6: In God, which is the opposite of Donald Trump.
34:39
Speaker 16: You may be a Jewish, you may be Muslim, you
34:42
Speaker 16: may be Christian, but Donald Trump respects all religions, unlike
34:45
Speaker 16: Kamala Harris, who likes to make fun of religions. So
34:48
Speaker 16: it's not a surprise to me that she would use
34:50
Speaker 16: some sort of skit to make fun of Catholics at
34:53
Speaker 16: the biggest Catholic event of the year.
34:56
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's just shocking.
34:58
Speaker 2: Now, this is fascinating because the US Bachelorette contestant, Josh Sita,
35:02
Speaker 2: has revealed to you personally. He came out and said
35:05
Speaker 2: that he's pretended to be trans for five to six
35:09
Speaker 2: months before revealing that that gender transition was nothing more
35:13
Speaker 2: than a social experiment to expose what culture.
35:16
Speaker 3: Here is your chat with him.
35:18
Speaker 16: I hope that this could help some people understand that
35:22
Speaker 16: just because you put on dresses and makeup as a
35:24
Speaker 16: man doesn't magically make you a woman.
35:27
Speaker 2: Alex, I've got to say he raises a great point.
35:29
Speaker 2: Last week, the left and the woe would have gladly
35:31
Speaker 2: accepted him as a trans woman into women's only spaces today,
35:35
Speaker 2: though of course, as just a man he isn't allowed to.
35:39
Speaker 6: Well, you know, it just shows you the hypocrisy. And
35:41
Speaker 6: let's be real.
35:42
Speaker 16: You know, if you're an adult here in America and
35:44
Speaker 16: you want to be a transgender that's okay, you know,
35:46
Speaker 16: it is what it is.
35:47
Speaker 6: We're a free country.
35:48
Speaker 16: But these people are putting on dresses and urinating in
35:50
Speaker 16: the restroom next to little kids.
35:52
Speaker 6: So it has gone too.
35:54
Speaker 16: Far here in America where freedom of speech or freedom
35:56
Speaker 16: of expression has become some sort of weird sexual idea
36:00
Speaker 16: that we just help and promote people that have different
36:03
Speaker 16: sexual preferences.
36:04
Speaker 6: So listen, I'm not anti gay, I'm not anti trans.
36:07
Speaker 16: But it shows you that if a trans person will
36:09
Speaker 16: get mad that they can't compete against biological woman, yet
36:12
Speaker 16: they will get mad at this guy for exposing how
36:15
Speaker 16: easy it is to print it to be trans. It
36:17
Speaker 16: just shows you that we live in the upside down
36:18
Speaker 16: world and nothing makes sense.
36:21
Speaker 3: No, it doesn't.
36:22
Speaker 2: I've got to ask you, though, how did he keepe
36:24
Speaker 2: up the act for so long?
36:25
Speaker 3: And had you been suspicious that it was an act?
36:29
Speaker 16: Well, you know, I'm the first one to really call
36:31
Speaker 16: Josh out, and I just had an inkling that.
36:34
Speaker 6: This was obviously some sort of social experiment. And when Josh.
36:37
Speaker 16: Finally told me that, hey, Alex, I want to come
36:39
Speaker 16: on your show, I want to just expose that this
36:41
Speaker 16: was all entirely just a social experiment. I was very
36:44
Speaker 16: grateful for him to come on the show and expose that.
36:46
Speaker 6: And JK.
36:47
Speaker 16: Rowling, the author of Harry Potter, she engaged with it.
36:50
Speaker 16: So this has been a huge story.
36:52
Speaker 6: Now. I know a lot of people are gonna have
36:53
Speaker 6: different feelings whether Josh was good or bad, but I
36:56
Speaker 6: think what he.
36:57
Speaker 16: Did made a huge point that cannot be debated by
37:01
Speaker 16: the weird people on the lap that want to sexually
37:03
Speaker 16: in doctrin eight people into this weird LGBTQI trans call.
37:08
Speaker 16: So I really applaud Josh for taking, you know, the
37:12
Speaker 16: ric that he took to pretend to be transfer this song.
37:14
Speaker 6: It was not easy.
37:15
Speaker 16: He's a great performance artist and I think he made
37:17
Speaker 16: a very strong message.
37:19
Speaker 3: I completely agree.
37:21
Speaker 2: Yeah, It's been fascinating to watch some of his videos
37:23
Speaker 2: over time too. Now look, I've got to say, you
37:26
Speaker 2: are back out there doing God's work. You're doing stand
37:29
Speaker 2: up comedy. This timeline for Coppel City Council, we've got
37:34
Speaker 2: a bit of what you told the counselors.
37:38
Speaker 21: There's a lot of people in the conservative community that
37:40
Speaker 21: are anti trans, like they're saying that we should limit
37:43
Speaker 21: transgenders and women's sports. I don't think we should, guys,
37:46
Speaker 21: because we can gamble on transgenders and win money. You guys,
37:49
Speaker 21: I want enough money from Leah Thomas. I turned draft
37:52
Speaker 21: Kings into draft queens. That's a much money, right.
37:54
Speaker 1: Don you like that?
37:56
Speaker 3: Alex.
37:57
Speaker 2: I don't know how you can keep a straight face
37:58
Speaker 2: and just deliver those lines and so perfectly.
38:01
Speaker 3: But tell us about you were doing there.
38:04
Speaker 1: Well.
38:04
Speaker 16: You know, San Jose State, a college that's competing in
38:07
Speaker 16: the NCAA for women's volleyball, has been dominating so much
38:11
Speaker 16: so that a lot of schools are actually forfeiting their
38:13
Speaker 16: games against them.
38:15
Speaker 6: You know what, I'm sad that these schools are forfeiting
38:17
Speaker 6: because we can gamble on them. They'll give us lines.
38:19
Speaker 16: So listen, I'm all about women's equality and women's fairness,
38:23
Speaker 16: but if Las Vegas will give me odds, let all
38:25
Speaker 16: the transgenders at women's sports, because I actually want to
38:28
Speaker 16: gamble on them, and I'm actually interested for once in
38:30
Speaker 16: my life. So it took a man for me to
38:33
Speaker 16: be interested in women's sports. It's absolutely absurd.
38:36
Speaker 2: I'm going to ask you before we let you go,
38:38
Speaker 2: what was the reaction to those that were sitting in
38:40
Speaker 2: the audience.
38:43
Speaker 6: Not good?
38:43
Speaker 16: You know, when I go to these public meetings, everybody's
38:45
Speaker 16: so uptied. Everybody's so negative that when I do these things,
38:49
Speaker 16: you would think that people would laugh and enjoy them.
38:51
Speaker 16: But sadly, because America is so messed up, everybody's at
38:55
Speaker 16: these meetings.
38:55
Speaker 6: You know, on ed so I wish people would laugh,
38:58
Speaker 6: but they never laugh at the meetings. They always laugh
39:00
Speaker 6: when they watch it after the fact.
39:02
Speaker 2: You are brilliant, alex Steine, and good to see you again.
39:05
Speaker 3: Thanks for joining us on the show.
39:07
Speaker 6: Always a pleasure. Thank you for having me.
39:11
Speaker 3: Still to come.
39:11
Speaker 2: Usha joins Karmala Harris's campaign as concerns over his past
39:16
Speaker 2: ties to Ditty resurface. Kinsey Schofield will join us next
39:21
Speaker 2: with all the latest details.
39:31
Speaker 3: Welcome back to the program.
39:33
Speaker 2: Joining me now is celebrity and royal reporter Kinsey Schofield.
39:37
Speaker 3: Kinsey, really good to see you, thanks for joining us.
39:40
Speaker 2: Let's start with Usher suddenly campaigning for Kamala Harris. Here
39:45
Speaker 2: he was at an event in Atlanta.
39:49
Speaker 18: I love you more, but I love Kamala Harris even more.
39:58
Speaker 18: I want her to be our next president of the
40:02
Speaker 18: United States.
40:05
Speaker 2: Now, it's quite a change of tune because only a
40:08
Speaker 2: month ago on the View, he was asked about Donald
40:11
Speaker 2: Trump and Karmala Harris, but he declined to endorse Karmla.
40:15
Speaker 18: This is what he said, find the candidate that you
40:18
Speaker 18: feel both are, who fits the category of where we
40:23
Speaker 18: want to be, and that's it, and that's what you
40:26
Speaker 18: wrote based off of who you highlight and how you
40:30
Speaker 18: choose to highlight it on whatever platform you have is
40:33
Speaker 18: your prerogative, Kinsey.
40:35
Speaker 2: That is quite a turnaround in his opinion, in his stance,
40:38
Speaker 2: in just the space of weeks. But here's where it
40:41
Speaker 2: gets interesting, because people are suspecting that this sudden change
40:44
Speaker 2: in position, maybe because of the allegations leveled at Sean
40:49
Speaker 2: Ditty Combs. Why is Usher being brought into this now?
40:54
Speaker 15: I mean, well, Usher was Diddy's protege and Ave, you're
41:00
Speaker 15: going to want to be friends with whoever is in charge,
41:03
Speaker 15: whoever is in power. I do think that the association
41:06
Speaker 15: is a distraction from the Diddy allegations and it gives
41:09
Speaker 15: Usher credibility. But for Harris's campaign, it is a desperate
41:13
Speaker 15: and shameless stunt.
41:14
Speaker 9: I mean, if you are who you associate with, yuck.
41:17
Speaker 15: It was back in twenty nineteen when Usher wrapped up
41:20
Speaker 15: his last herpes lawsuit was he faced multiple lawsuits accusing
41:25
Speaker 15: him of exposing sexual partners to herpes without disclosing the
41:29
Speaker 15: STD We know those multiple lawsuits go all the way
41:32
Speaker 15: back to twenty twelve. There was a settlement there and
41:36
Speaker 15: in most jurisdictions throughout the US that is considered a crime.
41:41
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just such interesting, tim and you feel as
41:44
Speaker 2: though this may have a lot more to play out.
41:47
Speaker 2: So I watch this space your spot on there now.
41:50
Speaker 2: Alec Baldwin, he has appeared on Saturday Night Live, but
41:54
Speaker 2: this was for the first time since he had that
41:56
Speaker 2: manslaughter charge from the fatal rust shoe dropped. So he
42:01
Speaker 2: went on to SNL and he's pretended to be Brett
42:04
Speaker 2: Bayer from Fox News interviewing Kamala Harris. Here's a bit
42:08
Speaker 2: of that exchange.
42:09
Speaker 21: Now, when I interviewed President and Trump, my first question
42:12
Speaker 21: was what do you think is the most important.
42:13
Speaker 1: Issue facing our nation?
42:15
Speaker 16: So my first question for you is give me the
42:17
Speaker 16: exact number of murderers you let loose in this country.
42:21
Speaker 8: Brett.
42:21
Speaker 3: I'm glad you brought up the topic of immigrants.
42:23
Speaker 1: Million two million.
42:26
Speaker 3: The first thing we.
42:26
Speaker 9: Did in office was to introduce a bit ten million.
42:29
Speaker 1: Give me a number, Brett. We came up with a
42:31
Speaker 1: bipartisan but didn't have a number.
42:33
Speaker 3: Though, may I please finish?
42:35
Speaker 1: I'm asking you too, Well, then you have to listen.
42:37
Speaker 1: Well I can't because I'm talking.
42:39
Speaker 16: Well where you start, and maybe when I go to bed.
42:43
Speaker 2: I'm going to say, though, that impression of Kabla Harris
42:45
Speaker 2: was quite spot on. But Kinsey, how has his return
42:49
Speaker 2: been received in the United States, particularly in the wake
42:51
Speaker 2: of all those court proceedings.
42:54
Speaker 15: Well, Alek Baldwin's presence on SNL as almost mandatory during
42:57
Speaker 15: a campaign year. He famously to do Trump impressions. The
43:01
Speaker 15: audience loves it, and unfortunately for the family of Helena Hutchins,
43:05
Speaker 15: you know, her death is not on the mind of
43:08
Speaker 15: the audience. They seem to be welcoming him back, which
43:11
Speaker 15: you know, breaks my heart for her family.
43:15
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a really good point. It's almost as if
43:16
Speaker 2: that's all been forgotten. That's a very very fair point, now, Kinsey,
43:21
Speaker 2: Donald Trump has taken quite a savage swipe at Katie Perry,
43:25
Speaker 2: who we know has in fact endorsed Kamala Harris. But
43:29
Speaker 2: what's Donald Trump had to say about the singer.
43:33
Speaker 15: Well, yeah, so Katie jumped onto a Zoom call on
43:37
Speaker 15: Friday to support Kamala's campaign, and a Trump source responded
43:41
Speaker 15: to TMZ by saying both Kamala Harris and Katy Perry's
43:44
Speaker 15: careers are on decline decline curves that parallel are failing
43:49
Speaker 15: economy and border security under Kamala's watch.
43:53
Speaker 9: And I mean, you know this as well as I do.
43:55
Speaker 15: They're referencing the release of Katy Perry's lead single, Woman's
43:58
Speaker 15: World at Flop, with a one star review from The Guardian.
44:02
Speaker 15: It peaked at forty seven in the UK sixty three
44:04
Speaker 15: in the US. And it's a disappointing release when you
44:08
Speaker 15: remember that Katie once tied Michael Jackson's record for sending
44:11
Speaker 15: five songs from a single album to number one. That's
44:15
Speaker 15: no longer her reality.
44:16
Speaker 3: I've got to ask you just on that.
44:18
Speaker 2: Do you think that she's in her flop era? I
44:20
Speaker 2: mean here in Australia. She's just come recently to perform
44:24
Speaker 2: at the AFL Grand Final, She's announced a series of concerts,
44:27
Speaker 2: But do you think that she's past her time now?
44:32
Speaker 15: I think she made a lot of poor decisions throughout
44:35
Speaker 15: this record. You know, you can't sing it's a woman's
44:37
Speaker 15: World and work with an accused sex offender, you know
44:40
Speaker 15: what I mean?
44:41
Speaker 9: Like the optics don't look great there.
44:43
Speaker 3: No, the optics look terrible.
44:45
Speaker 2: But I'd personally think she's in a flop era, which
44:48
Speaker 2: is a shame because You're right, she was so good
44:49
Speaker 2: once upon time.
44:51
Speaker 3: Now, this is.
44:51
Speaker 2: Quite a funny, Kinsey, because American couples having to impose
44:56
Speaker 2: booze bands on their weddings because of the upcoming US election.
45:02
Speaker 3: What is going on here?
45:05
Speaker 9: Yeah?
45:05
Speaker 15: I mean, well, there is an increase in popularity in
45:07
Speaker 15: fall weddings in the States, which could potentially end up
45:10
Speaker 15: in a SmackDown thanks to our contentious election season. It's
45:14
Speaker 15: the New York Times that's reporting that they've seen an
45:17
Speaker 15: increase in couples opting not to serve alcohol at their
45:20
Speaker 15: weddings and to display no politics signs around the venue
45:24
Speaker 15: to ensure that there is no fighting throughout the festivities.
45:28
Speaker 2: I mean, is it really that bad a people that
45:32
Speaker 2: passionate about and that angry that they're going to get
45:35
Speaker 2: into a fight at a wedding of all places, Kinsey.
45:40
Speaker 15: I'm not going to invite you to my house for
45:42
Speaker 15: Christmas because obviously you are too pure.
45:44
Speaker 9: You are too pure.
45:47
Speaker 3: I clearly must be way too pure your spot on.
45:49
Speaker 2: I just think it's just so funny that people are
45:51
Speaker 2: having to put booze bands.
45:53
Speaker 3: On at a wedding. But clearly this is polarizing the
45:56
Speaker 3: US public. So there you go. Now let's move on
45:59
Speaker 3: to Cheryl Hines.
46:01
Speaker 2: She has opened up about her relationship with husband Robert F.
46:05
Speaker 2: Kennedy Junior, and has addressed how she dealt with rumors
46:09
Speaker 2: surrounding his alleged sexting affair with political reporter Olivia Newzi Kinsey.
46:16
Speaker 3: So she's broken her silence here what she said.
46:21
Speaker 9: She says she's writing a book.
46:22
Speaker 15: I mean, Olivia must be shaking in her boots because
46:26
Speaker 15: Cheryl says, you know, rumors are rumors.
46:28
Speaker 9: I'm trying to grasp everything.
46:30
Speaker 15: I'm trying to stay calm, but I'm writing everything down.
46:34
Speaker 9: I've got everything in writing. So I mean, talk about
46:37
Speaker 9: a deep tease. We don't know when we're.
46:38
Speaker 15: Gonna get it, but obviously it's going to be good
46:42
Speaker 15: because she is saying, oh, look, I'm processing the rumors
46:44
Speaker 15: that she's kind of acknowledging that it comes with the
46:46
Speaker 15: Kennedy territory. But I had no clue that she was
46:49
Speaker 15: preparing to release a book. And this might just be
46:52
Speaker 15: the juiciest chapter.
46:54
Speaker 2: Look, can you take us back here? So what actually happened?
46:59
Speaker 2: How long has this alleged affair being going on?
47:02
Speaker 3: Because this is quite juicy. Can you give us a
47:04
Speaker 3: bit of a history.
47:06
Speaker 15: Well, yeah, Olivia Newzi was assigned r FK Junior. She
47:10
Speaker 15: is a political reporter and she was assigned RFK Junior
47:14
Speaker 15: last year to do.
47:15
Speaker 9: A profile on him.
47:17
Speaker 15: And it's her fiance or her ex fiance, I should
47:20
Speaker 15: say that allegedly threatened to blackmail.
47:24
Speaker 9: Her over this affair. He's out of a job right now.
47:27
Speaker 9: She's out of a job right now.
47:29
Speaker 15: And the only person that seems to be completely in
47:32
Speaker 15: the clear is our FK Junior. But the allegedly was
47:37
Speaker 15: just an emotional and sexting relationship. Olivia acknowledges it. RFK
47:43
Speaker 15: Junior says that it's absolutely not true, and she's kind
47:46
Speaker 15: of a crazed fan. But it is interesting that it's
47:49
Speaker 15: the Kennedys that always end up with their hands clean
47:51
Speaker 15: after these kind of chaotic events.
47:53
Speaker 2: Well, I was just going to ask you just one
47:55
Speaker 2: more question on this because I'm finding quite interesting. Well,
47:58
Speaker 2: they ad all have an impact on Robert F. Kennedy Junior,
48:01
Speaker 2: or as as you said, he's just wiped his hands
48:03
Speaker 2: of it.
48:03
Speaker 3: He's never going to be in trouble for this.
48:06
Speaker 9: I don't think he'll be in trouble for this.
48:07
Speaker 15: I would love to know what magic the Kennedys have
48:10
Speaker 15: that gets them out of absolutely every instance. You know,
48:12
Speaker 15: his father was accused of murdering Marilyn Monroe and everything's
48:15
Speaker 15: okay over there.
48:16
Speaker 9: So I'd love to know what it is about the
48:19
Speaker 9: Kennedy family.
48:19
Speaker 15: But he you know, he's still campaigning with Trump, still deemed,
48:23
Speaker 15: you know, somebody that is potentially going to be associated
48:26
Speaker 15: with the Trump administration if he wins.
48:29
Speaker 9: Wow, what is it like to be in Washington?
48:33
Speaker 21: Yeah?
48:33
Speaker 3: What is it like you?
48:34
Speaker 2: That's a really good point, Kinsey Schofield.
48:36
Speaker 3: Really nice to speak with you. Thank you so much
48:37
Speaker 3: for joining us on the show.
48:39
Speaker 9: Thank you.
48:41
Speaker 3: That's it for me. Up next is news Night. Good Night,
