- 0:03Speaker 1: Starting right now.
- 0:04Speaker 2: It's a wheto Panicky show.
- 0:09Speaker 3: Good evening and welcome to the Rita Panny Show. Coming
- 0:11Speaker 3: up tonight. More warnings are Jim Chalmers tax changers could
- 0:16Speaker 3: lead to eight thirty percent spike in rents. My panel
- 0:19Speaker 3: will join me to get discussed the day's top headlines.
- 0:23Speaker 3: Reform UK's latest efforts to curb the welfare state. Ralph
- 0:27Speaker 3: Scholhammer will cover that. John Heinderreiker will have the latest
- 0:31Speaker 3: from the US, including the man most likely to become
- 0:35Speaker 3: the next governor of Florida, and Rose o'donald is back
- 0:39Speaker 3: and hosting Jimmy Kimmel Live. Diddie dun Levy. We'll have
- 0:43Speaker 3: all your royal and entertainment news and Left He's Losing
- 0:47Speaker 3: It features the world's most annoying couple, former Canadian Prime
- 0:50Speaker 3: Minister Justin Trudeau and popstar Katie Perry. Here they are
- 0:55Speaker 3: being you guessed it annoying.
- 1:00Speaker 4: To conduce to colony.
- 1:06Speaker 3: But first. Australia's largest rental property manager has backed the
- 1:11Speaker 3: NAB and said that Jim Chalmers budget could lead to
- 1:15Speaker 3: a thirty percent spike in rents. Real estate giant Ray White,
- 1:19Speaker 3: which manages more than two hundred and fifty thousand rental
- 1:22Speaker 3: properties released its analysis today and it echoes a warning
- 1:26Speaker 3: from NAB that landlords would need a high yield to
- 1:29Speaker 3: cover the loss of tax concessions. The Treasurer lashed out
- 1:33Speaker 3: at the NAB on Sunrise, claiming it had failed to
- 1:36Speaker 3: consider a whole range of factors. But Reserve Bank documents
- 1:41Speaker 3: released yesterday also analyzed Labour's tax changes and said that
- 1:45Speaker 3: the capital gains crackdown could also hurt investment in startups
- 1:49Speaker 3: and other high growth firms. Joining me now for more
- 1:53Speaker 3: on this, as former Labor MP Michael Danby and Verve
- 1:56Speaker 3: Communications Peru mc sween, Michael start with you. The Treasurer
- 2:01Speaker 3: can lash out as much as he likes, but it
- 2:03Speaker 3: doesn't change the basic facts. And the experts from banking
- 2:08Speaker 3: to fund management to the property sector say rents are
- 2:12Speaker 3: going to.
- 2:13Speaker 5: Go up well, capital gains, tax negative gearing. Both the
- 2:19Speaker 5: NAB and real estate people say yes, it's going to
- 2:21Speaker 5: full rentals up. Pul Keating pulled a similar trick way
- 2:28Speaker 5: back when, and he withdrew it after fifteen months. I'm
- 2:31Speaker 5: not sure Jim Chalmers is poor Keating or has the
- 2:35Speaker 5: capacity to do that, but the government thinks it's got
- 2:38Speaker 5: only three seats majority and it has to make up
- 2:41Speaker 5: a budget deficit and get it somewhere, so they're risking
- 2:45Speaker 5: all on having that big majority.
- 2:46Speaker 3: True, this is hardly going to do anything about the
- 2:49Speaker 3: budget deficit. A thirty percent increase in rent, even a
- 2:54Speaker 3: ten percent increase in rent, is going to be devastating
- 2:58Speaker 3: for Australiananustralians who can least afford that increase in cost
- 3:03Speaker 3: of living.
- 3:05Speaker 6: Charmers can gaslights as much as he likes, but the
- 3:08Speaker 6: figures are there. They just don't stack up with his claims.
- 3:13Speaker 6: You know, I know of people, young people who are
- 3:15Speaker 6: being hit with one hundred and fifty dollars dollar a
- 3:19Speaker 6: week rent increases.
- 3:20Speaker 7: How can people afford that? It's just crazy.
- 3:24Speaker 6: And these are the same young people who are trying
- 3:26Speaker 6: to save for their first home. And then of course
- 3:29Speaker 6: we have the real estate agents reporting auctions. Auctions are
- 3:34Speaker 6: just dead. House prices values are falling. It's just a
- 3:40Speaker 6: total mess. And you know which he's We're relying on Treasury,
- 3:45Speaker 6: for God's sake.
- 3:46Speaker 7: Treasury said rents and go up two dollars a week. Well,
- 3:50Speaker 7: we know what Treasury is like.
- 3:52Speaker 6: They're modeling is always up the wazoo, they have data leaks,
- 3:58Speaker 6: They've made so many issues and so many fronts that
- 4:01Speaker 6: I just feel like, you know, why would we be
- 4:04Speaker 6: relying on treasury to tell us that life's going to
- 4:08Speaker 6: be great just hang in there.
- 4:11Speaker 3: Well, yeah, I mean you would argue that some of
- 4:14Speaker 3: the bureaucrats, some of that permanent bureaucracy might call that
- 4:17Speaker 3: is back this budget. They're part of the problem. They're
- 4:21Speaker 3: the ones who are advising a cabinet with very little
- 4:27Speaker 3: private sector experience. There's a reason why I think they
- 4:31Speaker 3: are so hostile to the business community. They don't understand that.
- 4:36Speaker 3: They don't like it. It is not their world.
- 4:39Speaker 5: Well, the huge increase in public service positions in Canberra
- 4:43Speaker 5: since this government, I mean, I suppose I could say
- 4:45Speaker 5: at least not as bad as vice chancellors who have
- 4:48Speaker 5: salaries of one point four million dollars. But you're right,
- 4:51Speaker 5: it's I think they're unfamiliar with the effect. And in
- 4:54Speaker 5: Jim Charmers electorate proves exactly right. It's not a two
- 4:58Speaker 5: dollars a week increase. Some of the places are higher
- 5:01Speaker 5: than that.
- 5:02Speaker 3: You're right, Rents are soaring in Jim Chalmer's own working class.
- 5:06Speaker 3: At Brisbane Electorate, rents for a range of properties in
- 5:10Speaker 3: rankin have jumped between twenty and thirty percent. Renters make
- 5:16Speaker 3: up more than thirty six percent of households in that electorate,
- 5:20Speaker 3: and prove a third of those renters are using thirty
- 5:24Speaker 3: percent of their income just to pay their rent. That
- 5:27Speaker 3: doesn't leave a great deal for the other essentials.
- 5:31Speaker 6: And of course a lot of those people who went
- 5:33Speaker 6: out there to rent thought it was going to be cheaper,
- 5:36Speaker 6: and what they're finding there now is, as you say,
- 5:38Speaker 6: they have to dedicate at least a third of their
- 5:41Speaker 6: income and it's not a big income to paying their
- 5:44Speaker 6: rent and trying to survive.
- 5:46Speaker 7: It's going to hit Charmers hard.
- 5:48Speaker 6: I hope reality will set in when he has feedback
- 5:52Speaker 6: from his constituents who are in those really tough areas
- 5:55Speaker 6: like a Logan where it's hard living. So you know,
- 5:59Speaker 6: maybe that that might put the lights on his brain,
- 6:02Speaker 6: because nothing else seems to be.
- 6:06Speaker 3: Well. Twenty to thirty percent jumps in some of those
- 6:09Speaker 3: properties already, So what's that going to look like in
- 6:13Speaker 3: the next two years? That really is quite frightening, And
- 6:16Speaker 3: as you explained the last time, This was trialed in Australia.
- 6:20Speaker 3: These sorts of changes, tax hikes on property, they reverse
- 6:24Speaker 3: course after fifteen months. Does Jim Chalmers or the other
- 6:28Speaker 3: and easy government have the courage to do that again
- 6:31Speaker 3: if they see this isn't working, this is hurting the
- 6:33Speaker 3: very people they say they're trying to help. Do they
- 6:36Speaker 3: have the political courage to say, we've got it wrong,
- 6:40Speaker 3: We're going to change back.
- 6:41Speaker 5: I doubt if they have the courage to pull back.
- 6:43Speaker 5: There's no Peter Walsh the Finance minister. There's only mean
- 6:50Speaker 5: girl Katie Gallagher. Chalmers is no Keating and current you
- 6:55Speaker 5: know seea far forward. His thesis is on Keating's parliamentary tech.
- 7:00Speaker 5: It's not his essence of free market rational economics. So
- 7:03Speaker 5: it's a very dismal prospect. What it means Reta in
- 7:06Speaker 5: his electorate is some of those properties go up one
- 7:08Speaker 5: hundred dollars a week, you know, so you're paying five hundred,
- 7:12Speaker 5: you'll now be paying six hundred. I don't think they'll
- 7:14Speaker 5: be very happy with in logan, as Preu said with Jim.
- 7:20Speaker 3: Now, economists have backed One Nation's plan to slash the
- 7:25Speaker 3: tobacco excise and freeze indexation. For three years. One Nation
- 7:29Speaker 3: leader Pauline hands And pledged to cut the tobacco x
- 7:32Speaker 3: size by seventy five percent to disrupt the black market
- 7:37Speaker 3: cigarette trade and reclaim billions in lost tax revenue prue.
- 7:42Speaker 3: Last year, the government raised four point one billion from
- 7:46Speaker 3: the excise, which is down three hundred and ten percent
- 7:51Speaker 3: from the record that they raised in twenty twenty, which
- 7:54Speaker 3: was sixteen point three billion dollars. Do you think this
- 7:58Speaker 3: plan makes sense from enhance it, to slash the excise
- 8:03Speaker 3: but collect war overall, because you really then are undercutting
- 8:08Speaker 3: that black market trait.
- 8:10Speaker 6: Well, I think anything we can do to undercut that
- 8:13Speaker 6: criminal element is great, but will at work, I don't know.
- 8:17Speaker 6: You know, we have this situation where we've got a
- 8:20Speaker 6: government that's desperate for revenue because it can't stop spending.
- 8:25Speaker 7: So I can't see them accepting this.
- 8:28Speaker 3: Now.
- 8:28Speaker 6: The idea of being priced driven is certainly alluding to
- 8:33Speaker 6: anyone with a smoking habit, but whether it's going to
- 8:36Speaker 6: get them to stop, which is what the intention originally
- 8:41Speaker 6: was of having this excise to prevent people to stop
- 8:44Speaker 6: people from smoking, Well we all know how that went,
- 8:48Speaker 6: and since then they've spent billions of dollars on health
- 8:51Speaker 6: programs trying to get people to stop smoking. And frankly,
- 8:55Speaker 6: as far as I'm concerned, it's up to the individual.
- 8:58Speaker 6: It's not as if they can say I didn't know
- 9:00Speaker 6: smoking's unhealthy for me.
- 9:02Speaker 7: It's the same as a sugar tax.
- 9:04Speaker 6: They should be Why aren't they invoking, you know, for
- 9:07Speaker 6: fried food taxes, sugar taxes, hamburger taxes, so telling us
- 9:12Speaker 6: how to live our lives. I think it come should
- 9:14Speaker 6: come down to natural choice and you know, personal choice,
- 9:18Speaker 6: and you know, I don't know.
- 9:19Speaker 7: If it's going to work.
- 9:21Speaker 6: I still think that the criminal element will make some
- 9:23Speaker 6: money out of cheaper cigarettes eighty percent or cut it,
- 9:27Speaker 6: cut it a bit, but I think people will still
- 9:29Speaker 6: want to go for the price option.
- 9:33Speaker 3: Prove. Please do not give them any ideas about taxing
- 9:36Speaker 3: sugar or salt or fat or anything else, because I
- 9:39Speaker 3: think they will jump at that eventually. Now, Economists Chris
- 9:44Speaker 3: Richardson Michael said that the government could raise an extra
- 9:48Speaker 3: fifteen billion a year if illegal supplies were reduced to
- 9:53Speaker 3: the same share that they had back in twenty nineteen
- 9:57Speaker 3: twenty twenty. This sounds like like a very sound plan.
- 10:02Speaker 3: Why isn't the labor government looking at adopting it. Why
- 10:06Speaker 3: is one Nation the one pushing.
- 10:07Speaker 5: The blockheads in the treasury and government. I mean it's counterintuitive,
- 10:12Speaker 5: but of course what happens is if you reduce the price,
- 10:16Speaker 5: you'll get less tax on one item, but you'll sell more.
- 10:20Speaker 5: So that's the whole idea. That's a very common phenomenal economics.
- 10:24Speaker 5: If you reduce the overall price of something, you can
- 10:27Speaker 5: often get more revenue from it. It's the same with tax.
- 10:32Speaker 5: You know, lower tax you actually collect more tax because
- 10:35Speaker 5: actually people really really pay it. So the thing that's
- 10:40Speaker 5: really worrying though, and you live in Melbourne like I do,
- 10:44Speaker 5: these criminals and there was never fire bombing of different
- 10:49Speaker 5: businesses before. It also takes place in Sydney. What kind
- 10:53Speaker 5: of people are these that have these systematic hundreds And
- 10:58Speaker 5: will the coppers, even if and you state government was
- 11:00Speaker 5: to take over, be able to put them under control.
- 11:03Speaker 5: I hope the genie can be put back in the bottle.
- 11:06Speaker 3: Reader now sticking with One Nation, South Australian One Nation
- 11:10Speaker 3: leader Cory Bernardi has called for puberty blockers in the
- 11:13Speaker 3: state to be banned for children under eighteen have a listen.
- 11:17Speaker 8: Enough is enough. When are people going to wake up
- 11:20Speaker 8: to the notion that these gender affirming care clinics are
- 11:24Speaker 8: nothing more than tampering with the lives of children. We've
- 11:28Speaker 8: got to ask ourselves how did it get to a
- 11:30Speaker 8: point where twenty two kids in South Australia underwent this
- 11:34Speaker 8: extreme medical treatment which seeks to change to the hiological
- 11:38Speaker 8: sex of children without even a reference to a psychiatrist,
- 11:42Speaker 8: which is required under the law. And of course there
- 11:44Speaker 8: was an inquiry into it and inquiries findings remain secret,
- 11:48Speaker 8: but we're told all's hunky dory. Let me tell you
- 11:52Speaker 8: it's not gender affirming care clinics are tampering with children.
- 11:57Speaker 7: Prue.
- 11:57Speaker 3: We've already got a ban in place in Insland. We've
- 12:01Speaker 3: seen the UK ban puberty blockers for under eighteens except
- 12:06Speaker 3: in exceptional circumstances. Australia really needs to catch up because
- 12:12Speaker 3: we seem to have so much secrecy in this area
- 12:15Speaker 3: and any questioning of so called gender affirming care is
- 12:19Speaker 3: just met with hysteria.
- 12:21Speaker 6: Well it is, you know, good on one Nation and
- 12:24Speaker 6: Corey for you know, making this point of conversation today
- 12:29Speaker 6: because frankly, you know, we've got this ideological people who
- 12:35Speaker 6: want to empower little children to make these life changing decisions.
- 12:40Speaker 7: I also cannot believe.
- 12:41Speaker 6: That a parent would allow this to happen to their child.
- 12:45Speaker 6: You know, this is extreme treatment and there's no going back.
- 12:50Speaker 6: Why would you allow your little kid to go through this?
- 12:55Speaker 6: And we all know that children have changed their mind
- 12:59Speaker 6: throughout their development and get into fashion trends and all
- 13:05Speaker 6: sorts of I don't know nuances that are only temporary.
- 13:10Speaker 6: They're not going to be something that they take with
- 13:12Speaker 6: them into adult life. So there should be a law
- 13:16Speaker 6: that prevents children under eighteen from doing this.
- 13:19Speaker 7: And good on one nation.
- 13:21Speaker 6: I think that they need to really go hard on
- 13:24Speaker 6: this because I think the average sane person would agree
- 13:27Speaker 6: with them.
- 13:27Speaker 3: Called Dan B. Pri McSwain, thank you so much for
- 13:29Speaker 3: your time. Joining me now is columnist, academic and international
- 13:36Speaker 3: relations expert Ralph Sholhammer. Ralph, let's start in the UK.
- 13:41Speaker 3: They continue to grapple with the issue of illegal immigration,
- 13:45Speaker 3: and it's not hard to see why they have never
- 13:47Speaker 3: really taken the sugar off the table. The inducements are there,
- 13:52Speaker 3: and if it were a leftis some the inducements would expand.
- 13:56Speaker 3: Let's hear from supposed conservative and Wiena Curry, who is
- 14:01Speaker 3: wondering what do the migrants need now.
- 14:04Speaker 1: The olish thing that twelve hundred young men are going
- 14:08Speaker 1: to need in the middle of a village like Little
- 14:10Speaker 1: Piddington there's a brothel. I don't think they're going to
- 14:12Speaker 1: provide that. I have a feeling that's not going to
- 14:14Speaker 1: be allowed.
- 14:16Speaker 3: Yep. A former Conservative minister. What it's like her Why
- 14:20Speaker 3: the Tories are dead in the water and Nigel Farag's
- 14:24Speaker 3: reform is leading the Poles Ralph, I mean really.
- 14:29Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean and honestly, I would not be surprised
- 14:31Speaker 9: if at some point they have a new program with
- 14:33Speaker 9: the NHS which is going to be prostitution for migrants,
- 14:36Speaker 9: because the argument is going to be, well, what can
- 14:38Speaker 9: we do if you want to avoid rape, if you
- 14:40Speaker 9: want to avoid sexual assault, the best thing is to
- 14:42Speaker 9: give I don't know, vulchers for prostitutes or whatever it's
- 14:45Speaker 9: going to be, and only very few Nigel Farage now
- 14:49Speaker 9: among them. I mean, he has shifted his positions a
- 14:51Speaker 9: couple of times. We have to be honest about this
- 14:53Speaker 9: as well. That the obvious answer, of course is and
- 14:56Speaker 9: I know this is a term that is not accepted
- 14:59Speaker 9: in polit society. But it is remigration. I don't know
- 15:02Speaker 9: how else to put it.
- 15:05Speaker 3: Absolutely, we've seen the US have a deportation program for
- 15:10Speaker 3: illegal immigrants, and as much as the Left have railed
- 15:14Speaker 3: against that, you could say it has been an enormous success,
- 15:18Speaker 3: particularly when you look at the crime rate in a
- 15:21Speaker 3: number of places across America. Now, sticking to the UK,
- 15:25Speaker 3: let's look at the latest announcements from Reform on their
- 15:29Speaker 3: efforts to curb the welfare state. Here, Nigel Farage says
- 15:33Speaker 3: that those with EU settled status account for fifty eight
- 15:37Speaker 3: percent of foreign welfare claimants. Reform will ban them from
- 15:42Speaker 3: Britain's welfare state. And there's also this from Farage is
- 15:47Speaker 3: announced that Reform will end something for nothing Britain. If
- 15:51Speaker 3: you can work and have been on benefits for over
- 15:53Speaker 3: a year, you'll have to do twenty hours of community
- 15:56Speaker 3: work every week or lose your benefits. That's just common sense,
- 16:01Speaker 3: he says. Ralph. We've got something similar right here in
- 16:04Speaker 3: Australia called work for the doll Do you think the
- 16:07Speaker 3: British voter, the average British voter, will embrace a program
- 16:12Speaker 3: of mutual obligation?
- 16:15Speaker 9: Well, I think everybody with common sense, would I mean
- 16:17Speaker 9: we tend to forget the birth of the welfare state
- 16:20Speaker 9: was originally designed to ensure that people are either to frail,
- 16:24Speaker 9: too old to had an accident, who due to no
- 16:27Speaker 9: fault of their own, were no longer capable of working.
- 16:30Speaker 9: This idea that has kind of morphed it that it
- 16:33Speaker 9: morphed into that it's just a choice, right, you can work,
- 16:36Speaker 9: you can't work, you can work a little bit, you
- 16:38Speaker 9: can apply for disability. I think in the UK this
- 16:41Speaker 9: already happened under Tony Blair, that they simply reclassified many
- 16:45Speaker 9: of the unemployed into people who had disabled you know,
- 16:48Speaker 9: this was never the idea of the welfare state.
- 16:50Speaker 3: I mean we had this.
- 16:51Speaker 9: I don't want to shift countries, but with this weird
- 16:53Speaker 9: case now in Germany where a teacher was running for
- 16:56Speaker 9: public office and it turned out that she was on
- 16:58Speaker 9: sickly for all what ten years? This was never the
- 17:02Speaker 9: idea of the welfare state, so that the welfare state
- 17:05Speaker 9: was kind of an emergency for it. It was compassion,
- 17:08Speaker 9: you know, transferred into a state program if you were sick,
- 17:12Speaker 9: if you had issues, if it was due to no
- 17:14Speaker 9: fault of your own, Why do you have access to it.
- 17:16Speaker 9: But the idea to just open up to everyone, that
- 17:18Speaker 9: is kind of a choice. You want to work, you
- 17:20Speaker 9: want to be in welfare. Who cares? So I'm very
- 17:22Speaker 9: happy to see that Australia as a different approach. I'm
- 17:25Speaker 9: very happy to see that the UK at least this
- 17:27Speaker 9: is what Faraj is announcing, that they want to move
- 17:29Speaker 9: in a different direction. Very good for him.
- 17:33Speaker 3: How much of an inducement for illegal immigration is the
- 17:37Speaker 3: welfare state, whether we're talking about the UK, Germany or
- 17:41Speaker 3: anywhere else in the world with a generous welfare program.
- 17:45Speaker 9: Well, I think the numbers are pretty clear. I mean,
- 17:47Speaker 9: take refugees, for example, from Afghanistan. I mean, Afghanistan is
- 17:50Speaker 9: surrounded by countries that share a similar culture, that share
- 17:54Speaker 9: the religion, that sometimes even shares similar political systems. So
- 17:57Speaker 9: why exactly would somebody in Kabul or the countryside in
- 18:01Speaker 9: Afghanistan say I want to go to Germany, I want
- 18:03Speaker 9: to go to the UK. Is it the love for
- 18:06Speaker 9: Shakespeare and you know, is it the love for German
- 18:08Speaker 9: philosophy or is it simply the fact that they have
- 18:10Speaker 9: a very generous welfare state that you can get very
- 18:13Speaker 9: easily access to. I think everybody knows the answer to
- 18:16Speaker 9: this question. This has been gas lighting by the usual
- 18:19Speaker 9: academics who tried to build this story that the social system,
- 18:22Speaker 9: the welfare system, has nothing to do with migration, which
- 18:25Speaker 9: is completely absurd because even the human traffickers, this is
- 18:28Speaker 9: like their promotional material. They say, we're gonna traffic you
- 18:32Speaker 9: to Germany because here is what you get. We're gonna
- 18:34Speaker 9: traffic you to the UK because here it was you get.
- 18:36Speaker 9: That's the whole pitch, right, It's not the all inclusive
- 18:39Speaker 9: vacation I don't know in Fiji. It's the you know,
- 18:42Speaker 9: the all inclusive social welfare state in Germany. But the
- 18:44Speaker 9: principle is the same.
- 18:47Speaker 3: Well, yes, we've always told that's push factors, not pull factors.
- 18:51Speaker 3: We heard the same thing when Donald Trump was running
- 18:54Speaker 3: for election in twenty twenty four, that there's nothing you
- 18:59Speaker 3: could do to close that southern border because it wasn't
- 19:03Speaker 3: pull factors, it was push factors. And we saw how
- 19:06Speaker 3: quickly he closed that border, because if you've got the will,
- 19:09Speaker 3: there is a way. Before we move on from the UK,
- 19:12Speaker 3: Nigel Farage was successful in his by election. It was
- 19:16Speaker 3: an extraordinary by election. More than thirty candidates any surprises
- 19:20Speaker 3: there with the result, Ralph, and how strongly he won.
- 19:25Speaker 9: No, no surprises. I mean, my issue with Nigel Farage
- 19:28Speaker 9: is always that will he stick it out, will he
- 19:31Speaker 9: stick around to actually see things then being accomplished, because
- 19:34Speaker 9: this has always been my big criticism against him. After Brexit,
- 19:38Speaker 9: he did a great job in getting Brexit, you know,
- 19:41Speaker 9: through the polls, he get it done, but he never
- 19:44Speaker 9: really then executed it. I mean, the big issue for
- 19:47Speaker 9: many British people, particularly on the right of the center right,
- 19:50Speaker 9: is that they were promised a Brexit not just in name,
- 19:53Speaker 9: but a brexist a Brexit in action, and if you
- 19:56Speaker 9: look at many of the policies that are being enacted
- 19:58Speaker 9: in the UK, it's basically as if they never left.
- 20:00Speaker 9: It's like this, he said, what is the song Hotel California.
- 20:04Speaker 9: You can check out, but you can never leave. It's
- 20:07Speaker 9: similar with Brexit, right, you can check out, you can
- 20:09Speaker 9: vote for Brexit, but ultimately you can never leave. But
- 20:12Speaker 9: this is what most of the British people wanted, or
- 20:13Speaker 9: at least the majority they voted for it.
- 20:17Speaker 3: Now, Ralph told me about this illiberal law in Germany
- 20:20Speaker 3: that penalizers citizens who insult politicians. Has been investigations of
- 20:25Speaker 3: people who mocked the chancellor, called him pinocchio and a liar.
- 20:31Speaker 3: There are now efforts to change these laws.
- 20:34Speaker 9: Ralph, No, they talked about it, they haven't done anything
- 20:39Speaker 9: about it. And you know, Friedrich Mergency's new German quote
- 20:41Speaker 9: unquote conservative government has this issue. They are talking a
- 20:45Speaker 9: big game, but they're actually doing anything. They're like the
- 20:47Speaker 9: German version of Brexit. Right, many announcements, but ultimately nothing
- 20:51Speaker 9: ever happens. But you're right, this paragraph, this one hundred
- 20:54Speaker 9: and eighty eight is completely absurd. It was pushed through
- 20:57Speaker 9: parliament during COVID and you could say, you know, the action.
- 21:00Speaker 9: Nobody ever realized that it happened until it was turned
- 21:04Speaker 9: into action. And everything you just said is true. There
- 21:07Speaker 9: were people publishing harmless memes. They were saying, you know,
- 21:10Speaker 9: somebody said that, for example, the German Minister of the
- 21:13Speaker 9: Economy is a moron, which I think, you know, if
- 21:15Speaker 9: you're a politician, I find that something that you have
- 21:18Speaker 9: to live with. And people were in fact arrested and
- 21:22Speaker 9: one person refused to pay the fine. I think it
- 21:24Speaker 9: was like three thousand euros and that person actually went
- 21:27Speaker 9: to prison for a month. So just to because this
- 21:30Speaker 9: is not one of these laws like that. This is
- 21:32Speaker 9: not like the Irish blasphemy laws of a couple of
- 21:35Speaker 9: years back that was still on the books but was
- 21:37Speaker 9: never enacted. In Germany, it's enacted, but it gets even worse.
- 21:40Speaker 9: So then politicians have their own agencies. And what these
- 21:43Speaker 9: agencies are doing is they they searched the entire internet.
- 21:47Speaker 9: If anybody somewhere said something negative about said politician, then
- 21:51Speaker 9: you have to you know, the old retired lady on
- 21:54Speaker 9: a minimum pension somewhere in the countryside who commented onder
- 21:57Speaker 9: a Facebook post that oh I think this politician she's
- 22:00Speaker 9: an idiot, and then she gets sued. But they would
- 22:03Speaker 9: never have known that she said this. I mean, it's
- 22:05Speaker 9: ridiculous in the first place, if it wouldn't be for
- 22:07Speaker 9: that agency that is looking for it. It's like you
- 22:09Speaker 9: Rita going on the internet and looking, did anybody see
- 22:12Speaker 9: anything better about Rita Panah? But you don't even look yourself.
- 22:14Speaker 9: You give this to an agency that looks for you,
- 22:16Speaker 9: and then you see those people because you're so sinister.
- 22:20Speaker 3: It is chall hammer is so backwards, so sinister, Ah,
- 22:24Speaker 3: But we love getting your insights. Thank you so much
- 22:27Speaker 3: for your time this evening, Thanks for having me. Coming
- 22:30Speaker 3: up next, Lefties Losing It plas the man most likely
- 22:34Speaker 3: to be the next governor of Florida, John Heindereiker has details.
- 22:48Speaker 3: You're watching the Rita Panehy Show, and it's time for
- 22:51Speaker 3: Lefties Losing It.
- 22:52Speaker 10: Let's see what the world's most annoying couple are up
- 22:55Speaker 10: to Former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his pop
- 22:59Speaker 10: star Astra old girlfriend Katy Perry or they were irritating
- 23:03Speaker 10: when they were doing this.
- 23:11Speaker 3: Now the couple have taken their song and dance routine
- 23:14Speaker 3: to the hardware store. Watched this performance with a toilet
- 23:19Speaker 3: plunger to Zavtrudeau's new song, Yes the Neo Baby has
- 23:23Speaker 3: had a neo baby in the home hard where I'm
- 23:29Speaker 3: s ro Street.
- 23:40Speaker 8: I give you to me.
- 23:54Speaker 3: Now I feel like I need to apologize for that.
- 23:57Speaker 3: I should have given your warning beforehand, and I didn't. Sorry. Now,
- 24:01Speaker 3: you know, we're told that the left is at their
- 24:04Speaker 3: core tolerant and compassionate and inclusive, and that we must
- 24:08Speaker 3: try to understand and coexist with them. Then we see
- 24:12Speaker 3: something like this. This is a drag show, mocking Charlie
- 24:16Speaker 3: Kirk mocking the murder of Charlie Kirk. I don't know
- 24:19Speaker 3: about you, but I don't want to coexist with this.
- 24:38Speaker 3: And the Democrats just can't shake Kamala Harris. She is
- 24:42Speaker 3: hanging around like a persistent foot fungus, and she's saying
- 24:46Speaker 3: all sorts of crazy stuff again, like talking about expanding
- 24:51Speaker 3: the Supreme Court and dumping the electoral College. This woman
- 24:55Speaker 3: is a threat to democracy, ructural change.
- 24:58Speaker 11: I think we need to revisit the efficacy of the
- 25:01Speaker 11: electoral College. I think we need to expand the Supreme
- 25:04Speaker 11: Court and look at reforms. You know, so much of
- 25:08Speaker 11: what we are dealing with right now. Back to the
- 25:11Speaker 11: point of just a violation of civil rights and all
- 25:14Speaker 11: that your parents in mind fought for the Supreme Court
- 25:17Speaker 11: decisions by this court that was basically at this point
- 25:20Speaker 11: hand selected by Donald Trump.
- 25:22Speaker 3: Yeah, that's the president's job, you simpleton, nominating Supreme Court
- 25:27Speaker 3: justices when a vacancy arises. That's what he's supposed to do.
- 25:30Speaker 3: We're not satisfied with wanting to blow up democracy. Kamala
- 25:34Speaker 3: then suggests that the Trump administration is advancing white supremacy
- 25:39Speaker 3: and trying to devalue the citizenship of non whites. Here
- 25:44Speaker 3: is Kamala with election denier stacy.
- 25:46Speaker 11: Abrams that part of the pain of this moment stacy
- 25:50Speaker 11: is these so called leaders who are pushing this kind
- 25:57Speaker 11: of this narrative about who is a legitimate American citizen
- 26:03Speaker 11: among American citizens, this blood and soil narrative that's being
- 26:08Speaker 11: pushed at the highest levels of our government. To suggest that,
- 26:13Speaker 11: you know, once again, to hearken back to times when
- 26:16Speaker 11: it was explicit that there was a hierarchy among Americans
- 26:21Speaker 11: and who was superior and whom was inferior all citizens.
- 26:27Speaker 3: Let's bring in Center for the American Experiment president and
- 26:30Speaker 3: co founder of the popular Powerline blog, John Heindereicher. John,
- 26:35Speaker 3: the Democrats can't get rid of her, and as you
- 26:38Speaker 3: wrote on the Powerline blog, she's firming up as the
- 26:43Speaker 3: likely Democrat candidate in twenty twenty eight. Is that really
- 26:46Speaker 3: going to happen.
- 26:49Speaker 4: It's amazing that after getting clobbered in twenty twenty four,
- 26:52Speaker 4: Kamala Harris is way ahead in the polls for twenty
- 26:55Speaker 4: twenty eight. What that really shows is how hard the
- 26:59Speaker 4: Democrats are up for good candidates. I don't think there's
- 27:03Speaker 4: any chance that they're going to make the same mistake twice.
- 27:06Speaker 4: But at this point, who they are going to run
- 27:08Speaker 4: if it isn't Kamala is a mystery.
- 27:12Speaker 3: Well, we're hearing a lot of buzz about IOC. Could
- 27:16Speaker 3: she win the nomination despite her well mega background, really doesn't.
- 27:23Speaker 3: She hasn't really achieved much other than saying some remarkably
- 27:27Speaker 3: radical stuff. Can she moderate those views and become a candidate?
- 27:33Speaker 4: Well, I think Okazia Cartez has a very real chance
- 27:36Speaker 4: to be the nominee. She's popular with the Democratic base.
- 27:40Speaker 4: People think she's cute, which is the biggest thing she
- 27:42Speaker 4: has going for her, and she's trying to put some
- 27:45Speaker 4: of her past behind her, for example, by saying that
- 27:48Speaker 4: Wolk one was crazy. Her problem is that Wulk two
- 27:53Speaker 4: is even crazier.
- 27:55Speaker 3: Yes, absolutely, We've got some examples of it right now.
- 28:00Speaker 3: Order sign of how mad and bad modern Democrats have become,
- 28:04Speaker 3: look at this response to NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tiss, who
- 28:09Speaker 3: called out those who were supporting murderer Luigi Mangioni, the
- 28:13Speaker 3: man who gunned down United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson in
- 28:18Speaker 3: cold blood. Let's hear from the commissioner first.
- 28:22Speaker 12: And to those who idolize Luigi Mani Mangioni. I say
- 28:26Speaker 12: this violence is not a cause, murder is not a message,
- 28:31Speaker 12: and a killer is certainly not a hero.
- 28:34Speaker 3: And here's the response from Brianna Joy Gray, who served
- 28:39Speaker 3: as Bernie Sanders press secretary. This is what she wrote.
- 28:43Speaker 3: She said, talking about Luigi as a killer in Inverted
- 28:46Speaker 3: Commers without mentioning the tens of thousands of debts Brian
- 28:51Speaker 3: Thompson was responsible for. Is manufacturing consent for corporate genocide.
- 28:58Speaker 3: The problem with cops is their selective enforcement of crime.
- 29:01Speaker 3: It's about protecting moneyed interests, not you John, using that rationale.
- 29:09Speaker 3: Just about any murder can be rationalized. How are law
- 29:14Speaker 3: abiding sat folk supposed to coexist with that sort of mindset?
- 29:19Speaker 3: And that sort of mindset is gaining more and more
- 29:23Speaker 3: influence in the Democrats. We are seeing this with this
- 29:26Speaker 3: socialist movement that is really setting the agenda.
- 29:32Speaker 4: Yeah, that response that you played was completely deranged. But
- 29:34Speaker 4: there's a broader point, which is that many leaders of
- 29:37Speaker 4: the Democratic Party have responded in very muted fashion to
- 29:41Speaker 4: the murder of Brian Thompson, people like Elizabeth Warren, Alexandria
- 29:46Speaker 4: Casio Cortez, and Jasmine Crockett, for example, actually seem to
- 29:50Speaker 4: justify that murder, and more generally, Democratic leaders have mostly
- 29:56Speaker 4: been quiet in the face of multiple assass nation attempts
- 30:00Speaker 4: against President Trump, an assassination attempt against Supreme Court Justice
- 30:05Speaker 4: Brett Kavanaugh, the shooting of House Majority Leader Steve Scalise,
- 30:09Speaker 4: the murder of Charlie Kirk, and other acts of violence
- 30:13Speaker 4: by leftists. And I think that that is deliberate. I
- 30:17Speaker 4: think leaders of the Democratic Party want their political opponents
- 30:21Speaker 4: to be intimidated by threats of violence, and they don't
- 30:25Speaker 4: really try to discourage their followers from carrying out such actions.
- 30:31Speaker 3: Absolutely, and they know there is a growing base, a
- 30:34Speaker 3: very energized, active base, that doesn't want to hear them
- 30:40Speaker 3: condemn Luigi Mangioni. They does want to have a muted response,
- 30:44Speaker 3: and they're afraid of that base within their own side
- 30:47Speaker 3: as well, I think because they look at the likes
- 30:50Speaker 3: of Nancy Pelosi as far right in their eyes, She's
- 30:55Speaker 3: just never going to be pure enough politically for them. Now,
- 31:01Speaker 3: a major development with a former senior advisor to doctor
- 31:05Speaker 3: Anthony Fauci, David Morenz, pleading guilty to a federal conspiracy
- 31:10Speaker 3: charge earlier today. This is over a scheme to conceal
- 31:14Speaker 3: government records on coronavirus research grants. Now he tried to
- 31:19Speaker 3: conceal these from investigators who were probing the origins of
- 31:23Speaker 3: COVID nineteen. The former National Institute of Allergy and Infectious
- 31:28Speaker 3: Diseases official faces up to five years in prison. John,
- 31:33Speaker 3: this is not a small charge. This is what happens
- 31:38Speaker 3: when you don't have preemptive immunity. I guess yeah.
- 31:43Speaker 4: David Morenz was a close associate of Anthony Fauci, and
- 31:47Speaker 4: he destroyed documents to try to frustrate the investigation into
- 31:51Speaker 4: the Wuhan Institute of Virology and the origin of COVID nineteen.
- 31:56Speaker 4: He's likely to do some prison time, but Rita, this
- 32:00Speaker 4: show is one of the reasons why Anthony Fauci pled
- 32:03Speaker 4: the Fifth Amendment when he was called to testify before
- 32:05Speaker 4: a Senate committee. There is strong evidence that Fauci destroyed
- 32:09Speaker 4: documents too, and he couldn't answer those questions truthfully without
- 32:15Speaker 4: condemning himself.
- 32:18Speaker 3: Even though he has immunity. He was granted preemptive immunity
- 32:22Speaker 3: by Joe Biden in the last hours of his presidency.
- 32:28Speaker 3: Could we still see some sort of charges brought against
- 32:31Speaker 3: Anthony Fauci because that immunity doesn't cover him for state charges.
- 32:36Speaker 3: I know Florida is probing if they can look at
- 32:40Speaker 3: some of his actions during the COVID era and predating
- 32:44Speaker 3: the covid era. Could he find himself on the stand.
- 32:50Speaker 4: Well, he's got a problem with contempt of Congress, which
- 32:53Speaker 4: I know Ran Paul wants to charge him with, and
- 32:55Speaker 4: very possibly can. I believe three states are currently investing
- 33:00Speaker 4: getting Fauci to see whether his conduct violated any of
- 33:03Speaker 4: their state laws. And of course Joe Biden's pardon doesn't
- 33:07Speaker 4: protect him against state prosecutions.
- 33:11Speaker 3: Now, sticking with Florida, big news out of that state
- 33:15Speaker 3: with Trump backed Byron Donald's winning the GOP primary to
- 33:19Speaker 3: succeed Ron DeSantis as Florida Governor. John He'll be facing
- 33:23Speaker 3: Democrat David Jolly, and Donald's won very easily. There, had
- 33:29Speaker 3: you see that race. Florida was long looked at as
- 33:33Speaker 3: a swing state, as a purple state, but under Ron
- 33:36Speaker 3: DeSantis it became firmly read.
- 33:40Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean Florida is a red state. Rhyan de
- 33:43Speaker 4: Santas is tremendously popular Byron Donald's is a prominent congressman.
- 33:49Speaker 4: He was the favorite in that race. Trump did endorse him.
- 33:52Speaker 4: What I thought was more interesting was that Ron DeSantis
- 33:55Speaker 4: did not endorse anybody in that race, even though Donald's
- 33:59Speaker 4: main opponent was DeSantis's own lieutenant governor, Jay Collins. And
- 34:04Speaker 4: I suspect that a lot of Florida Republicans saw DeSantis
- 34:09Speaker 4: not endorsing his own lieutenant governor as giving them the
- 34:13Speaker 4: green light to vote for Bira donalds.
- 34:16Speaker 3: Now, John, this story is incredible only in California, as
- 34:20Speaker 3: San Francisco High School, where students get top grades just
- 34:24Speaker 3: for showing up, has the highest acceptance rate in California
- 34:29Speaker 3: to the prestigious University of California Berkeley. The John Mission
- 34:35Speaker 3: High School, when ninety four percent of students flunk mats
- 34:39Speaker 3: has the highest Berkeley acceptance Right, how can this be, John?
- 34:45Speaker 4: Well, Really, it's all about race quotas the US Supreme
- 34:47Speaker 4: Court has made it clear that public universities like Berkeley
- 34:51Speaker 4: cannot engage in race discrimination, which is what they want
- 34:55Speaker 4: to do. So what they have done instead is to
- 34:57Speaker 4: abandon all academic standard so they can admit more minority students.
- 35:03Speaker 4: And in particular, they have stopped using the SAT and
- 35:06Speaker 4: the ACT admissions tests, And the result of that is
- 35:10Speaker 4: that they have freshmen and rolling at Berkeley in calculus
- 35:13Speaker 4: classes who don't know how to multiply, and so the
- 35:17Speaker 4: quality of education at universities like the University of California
- 35:21Speaker 4: has declined disastrously.
- 35:25Speaker 3: So if you don't look at SATs or other entrance schools,
- 35:30Speaker 3: how do you determine Is it simply based on Dei
- 35:34Speaker 3: factors the backgrounds of the candidates, Because if you don't
- 35:39Speaker 3: look at academic results, I'm really struggling to understand how
- 35:44Speaker 3: you admit students. How do you pick one over the other?
- 35:49Speaker 4: Well, they look at great averages too, and of course
- 35:51Speaker 4: that's why that terrible high school of San Francisco gets
- 35:54Speaker 4: all those kids in, because they give them all a's
- 35:56Speaker 4: and there's no tests to really differentiate those who are
- 36:00Speaker 4: good students from those who are not. It's a ridiculous situation.
- 36:05Speaker 3: Now we've sadly have got more Rosi o'donald coming up
- 36:08Speaker 3: later in the program, But I wanted to ask about
- 36:12Speaker 3: something she said to Variety magazine about two prominent Jewish Americans,
- 36:17Speaker 3: Barry Weiss and David Ellison, who she claims are cozying
- 36:22Speaker 3: up to Trump. And she said this, She said, there
- 36:24Speaker 3: are people who are sidling up to him, that being
- 36:27Speaker 3: Donald Trump, and history will record all of their names,
- 36:32Speaker 3: what they did, and who they stood next to. If
- 36:35Speaker 3: you're in a room with ten Nazis at a table
- 36:38Speaker 3: and you're the only one who's not, there's a pretty
- 36:41Speaker 3: good chance you're a Nazi. John Abc think this lunatic
- 36:46Speaker 3: is fit to host a program at the moment. This
- 36:49Speaker 3: cheapening of the term Nazi is dangerous.
- 36:54Speaker 4: Well, of course it's an absurd smear. But Rosi o'donald
- 36:58Speaker 4: is not alone. I think every republic and presidential candidate
- 37:01Speaker 4: since Thomas Dewey in nineteen forty eight has been denounced
- 37:05Speaker 4: as a Nazi by the Democrats. And even though it's crazy, yes,
- 37:09Speaker 4: it can be dangerous. Ryan Roth, who's the guy who
- 37:12Speaker 4: tried to assassinate President Trump in Florida, said he did
- 37:16Speaker 4: it because Trump was like Hitler. Well where did he
- 37:19Speaker 4: get that idea? He got it from the leaders of
- 37:21Speaker 4: the Democratic Party who say it all the time. And
- 37:25Speaker 4: of course the people who tried to assassinate Hitler went
- 37:28Speaker 4: down in history as heroes, and those are the people
- 37:31Speaker 4: that this would be assassin who was trying to emulate.
- 37:36Speaker 3: And she's not just making this accusation against Donald Trump,
- 37:39Speaker 3: because we've heard that from her approximately two hundred thousand times,
- 37:43Speaker 3: but she's calling David Ellison and even Barry Weiss, who
- 37:46Speaker 3: is a left leaning you might call her a centrist,
- 37:51Speaker 3: but she's Jewish, she's a lesbian. And Rosie O'Donnell is
- 37:55Speaker 3: calling her a Nazi. I mean that to me just
- 37:58Speaker 3: shows you how they can completely devaluing that word then
- 38:02Speaker 3: stripping it off all meaning, all impact.
- 38:06Speaker 4: Yeah, those words have lost all meaning. It's like calling
- 38:09Speaker 4: somebody a jerk, you know. I mean all it means
- 38:11Speaker 4: is they don't like them. Other than that, there's no content.
- 38:16Speaker 3: John Heindereiker, thank you so much for your time. Coming up,
- 38:20Speaker 3: Rosi o'donald is back and she's hosting Jimmy Kimmel Live.
- 38:25Speaker 3: Diddy Dunlevy is next. Welcome back. Just when you thought
- 38:38Speaker 3: Jimmy Kimmel Live could not possibly sink any lower, along
- 38:43Speaker 3: comes a filling host, the tedious, deranged Rosier Donald If you.
- 38:48Speaker 13: Thought the President hated Jimmy Kimmel Live when it was
- 38:50Speaker 13: hosted by Jimmy Kimmel bubble up people.
- 38:54Speaker 3: Ba ba uh, and of course her tired old Trump
- 38:58Speaker 3: obsession ruling into this woman can speak only on one
- 39:03Speaker 3: issue and in the most demented fashion imaginable.
- 39:06Speaker 13: You know, I've been living in Ireland for the past
- 39:08Speaker 13: two years because of Mango Mussolini. I read that project
- 39:15Speaker 13: twenty twenty five and said, gotta get myself out of here.
- 39:19Speaker 13: I decided to move, and I took my little then
- 39:22Speaker 13: eleven year old kid with me, and I just said,
- 39:26Speaker 13: whatever you do, don't tell anyone, because we don't want
- 39:28Speaker 13: a lot of press and a lot of paparazzi, so
- 39:32Speaker 13: please don't tell anyone. And they're a pretty smart kid,
- 39:35Speaker 13: you know. They got it. They said, don't worry, I
- 39:37Speaker 13: won't and then went to school and proceeded to tell
- 39:39Speaker 13: their entire class, I'm very sorry. I won't be able
- 39:44Speaker 13: to graduate sixth grade with you. I'm being forced to
- 39:47Speaker 13: move to another country because the President of the United
- 39:52Speaker 13: States hates my mother. But in all fairness, I believe
- 39:56Speaker 13: my mother hates him more.
- 39:59Speaker 3: Oh that was pretty much the highlight. That's as good
- 40:01Speaker 3: as it got. The more I see of this woman,
- 40:03Speaker 3: the more I'm convinced she needs help. Professional help and
- 40:07Speaker 3: perhaps a lot more medication. She has spoken about mental
- 40:11Speaker 3: health professionals advising her, pleading with her to stop talking
- 40:16Speaker 3: about Donald Trump, but she just can't help herself.
- 40:19Speaker 2: I can't think of anyone else in my life who
- 40:22Speaker 2: supports him, and I don't understand the people who do.
- 40:28Speaker 2: You know, his cruelty is so blatant, his criminal behavior
- 40:32Speaker 2: is so obvious, his misogyny, his racism, his homophobia. He's
- 40:38Speaker 2: just a very dark spirit.
- 40:41Speaker 3: Joining me now is broadcaster and News twenty four contributor
- 40:45Speaker 3: DEDI Done Levy Diddy. What did you think of Rosie
- 40:49Speaker 3: hosting Jimmy Kimmel Live and her continued Trump fixation.
- 40:54Speaker 14: She really does have an absolute obsession with him. This
- 40:59Speaker 14: just wasn't entertaining. I mean, how many times can they
- 41:03Speaker 14: trot out the same line Orange Man Bad and the
- 41:06Speaker 14: same punchline, and that poor audience was probably shouldn't feel
- 41:09Speaker 14: sorry for them because.
- 41:10Speaker 3: They chose to be there. They can have got no
- 41:13Speaker 3: sympathy for that audience. They know what they're getting.
- 41:15Speaker 14: Asked to pretend that they're laughing at the same punchline.
- 41:19Speaker 3: It's just monotonous.
- 41:21Speaker 14: And she went on in her monologue and she made
- 41:23Speaker 14: some outrageous claims. One was that the people of Ireland Welcome,
- 41:26Speaker 14: would stop her in the street and tell her how
- 41:28Speaker 14: much they loved her, and that they were so glad
- 41:30Speaker 14: that she was the illusions, and that she'd had to
- 41:33Speaker 14: seek refuge in Ireland, refuge from what.
- 41:37Speaker 3: She's back in Americay, if you're so terrified of Trump's America,
- 41:41Speaker 3: what are you doing back there? She's been there for
- 41:43Speaker 3: some time. You're not living under oppression.
- 41:46Speaker 14: No, she sees herself as some sort of courageous freedom
- 41:48Speaker 14: fighter or a political commentator, and she's neither of those.
- 41:51Speaker 3: And she's not a comedian neither. Well, she used to
- 41:53Speaker 3: actually be funny, and I'm talking decades ago. But there
- 41:56Speaker 3: was a time when she was funny and she seemed
- 41:59Speaker 3: to be happy. She seemed to have joy about it.
- 42:03Speaker 3: I said, decades and decades ago. But now it's just
- 42:07Speaker 3: misery on steroids. And you did notice, but she was
- 42:12Speaker 3: talking about her child there. She was using they them pronouns.
- 42:16Speaker 3: And she came out recently to say she got they
- 42:19Speaker 3: them the child's pronouns tattooed on her wrist. I mean,
- 42:25Speaker 3: this is what I'm talking about. This isn't a normal person,
- 42:28Speaker 3: and yet we keep having this sort of radical, crazy
- 42:33Speaker 3: opinion normalized by the media.
- 42:36Speaker 14: Yeah, well, we don't need to watch it, do we
- 42:38Speaker 14: know what we do because it's content for this program,
- 42:41Speaker 14: Thank you very much.
- 42:42Speaker 3: Now, there are reports that Hayden Panetarian's boyfriend, Brian Hickerson
- 42:47Speaker 3: and his brother Zach were at the scene of her
- 42:50Speaker 3: death on Sunday. The responding officer said Zach was very
- 42:54Speaker 3: emotional while emergency medical service professionals attended to the actress. Meanwhile,
- 42:58Speaker 3: Brian didn't not become emotional until Hayden was pronounced dead,
- 43:04Speaker 3: did he. Hayden's mother, Leslie Vogel, has blasted the on again,
- 43:09Speaker 3: off again boyfriend, telling NBC her father and I had
- 43:13Speaker 3: been concerned for a long time about him. He did
- 43:17Speaker 3: sound like an absolute nightmare. Hayden herself detailed how he
- 43:23Speaker 3: treated her. She got a restraining order that were charges pressed,
- 43:26Speaker 3: and it's just so sad. In her final days she
- 43:30Speaker 3: was back with him.
- 43:31Speaker 14: Correct well, he hit her in the face and he
- 43:33Speaker 14: was jailed for that. He's bad news, and the mother
- 43:36Speaker 14: is correct about that. There are a lot of questions
- 43:39Speaker 14: still to be answered about this whole scene. Her toxicology
- 43:43Speaker 14: results won't be back for probably a couple of months yet,
- 43:45Speaker 14: but there was some nacan apparently found on the bed.
- 43:48Speaker 14: It didn't arrive with the emergency workers. And the time
- 43:52Speaker 14: of day that she was found the middle of the afternoon.
- 43:54Speaker 14: It's traditionally not a time that someone goes on a bender.
- 43:57Speaker 14: But this mother who bobs up now as soon as
- 44:00Speaker 14: there's a camera ready and she conveys it to condemn him. Look,
- 44:04Speaker 14: it's correct that she condemns him. He's bad news. But
- 44:07Speaker 14: the mother, in my opinion, is a bad mother, and
- 44:10Speaker 14: she's the reason that Hayden Penetier was in the condition
- 44:13Speaker 14: that she was in. She had her in front of
- 44:15Speaker 14: the cameras at eleven months old. By the time she
- 44:17Speaker 14: was five, she'd made over fifty commercials. Her mother pushed
- 44:21Speaker 14: her and pushed her so she will manage.
- 44:22Speaker 3: Her, supporting the family, i'd imagine at that point. But
- 44:26Speaker 3: even as a child, even when she didn't want to,
- 44:28Speaker 3: her mother pushed her. And Hayden in her book said
- 44:31Speaker 3: that she asked her mother not to be her manager anymore.
- 44:33Speaker 3: She wanted her to just be her mother, and her
- 44:35Speaker 3: mother said to her, you owe me, that's right. She
- 44:38Speaker 3: detailed had the age of nineteen, when for her whole
- 44:43Speaker 3: life her mom was her manager. She said to her mom,
- 44:46Speaker 3: I'd rather you just be my mom. I needed you
- 44:49Speaker 3: to be my mom, not my manager. And the mother
- 44:51Speaker 3: did not take that well. So that would be devastating.
- 44:54Speaker 3: I'd imagine for a nineteen year old exactly that from you.
- 44:57Speaker 14: So for the mother to speak up now and have
- 44:59Speaker 14: a go at the boyfriend Jess again, I'll say, I
- 45:01Speaker 14: think he does deserve I think she's deflecting away from
- 45:04Speaker 14: her own guilt.
- 45:06Speaker 3: Yeah. Absolutely. Now let's talk about Meghan mark Or. She's
- 45:09Speaker 3: been accused of stealing a cooking tactic used by Martha Stewart.
- 45:15Speaker 3: It's a bit of a heat between these two. The
- 45:17Speaker 3: duchess told Instagram followers that a sweet way to savor
- 45:22Speaker 3: the season included adding her BlackBerry fruit spread to butter
- 45:27Speaker 3: cream icing Diddy. People were quick to point out that
- 45:30Speaker 3: Martha Stewart had already featured the same sweet trick in
- 45:35Speaker 3: a summertime recipe. Real well, they do say imitation is
- 45:39Speaker 3: the sincerest form of flattery, So maybe that's all that is.
- 45:43Speaker 3: Maybe because remember Martha Stewart came out and said at
- 45:46Speaker 3: a dinner party in Meghan was talking about her trip
- 45:50Speaker 3: to the UK and the meeting with the King, So
- 45:52Speaker 3: there's a little bit of heat there.
- 45:55Speaker 14: I don't like your sarcastic tone. Don't you know that
- 45:57Speaker 14: Meghan Parkle invented jam? Yes, now she's been so in
- 46:01Speaker 14: vanaged that she's put jam onto a cake, which Martha
- 46:04Speaker 14: Stewart did before her, as did every other mom that
- 46:06Speaker 14: ever made a cake. But seriously, her whole brand is
- 46:11Speaker 14: predicated on the idea that she is innovative, even the
- 46:15Speaker 14: lifestyle home space and that area, you know, and what
- 46:20Speaker 14: am I trying to say, home homemaking and so originality
- 46:25Speaker 14: does matter. So it's quite obvious given what we've seen
- 46:28Speaker 14: that she's copying Martha Stewart, which would be incredibly dumb.
- 46:32Speaker 14: Martha Stewart has a couple of decades of credibility in
- 46:35Speaker 14: that space. Megan's never going to match her with that.
- 46:39Speaker 3: Stewart genuinely talented in that field. It's not hard. It's
- 46:44Speaker 3: not just something that she's looked at the market reports
- 46:49Speaker 3: and thought, oh, that's a profitable area to be. She's
- 46:51Speaker 3: actually but she's grown that audience organically over many decades.
- 46:56Speaker 14: She backs up what she does with recipes and hints
- 46:58Speaker 14: and guides on how to do things. Meghan just posts
- 47:01Speaker 14: a pretty picture on Instagram. There's a big difference.
- 47:03Speaker 3: There is a big difference. And before we move on
- 47:06Speaker 3: from the Royal couple, you have the latest box office
- 47:09Speaker 3: figures for Harry and Meghan's production, Cookie Queens, Cookie Queens.
- 47:14Speaker 3: It did not start off well. Has the box office
- 47:18Speaker 3: result improved?
- 47:19Speaker 7: I'm sorry to say it hasn't.
- 47:21Speaker 8: So.
- 47:21Speaker 14: The latest figure that we had this is for us only.
- 47:23Speaker 14: It's for August the sixteenth. It's been pulled back. It's
- 47:26Speaker 14: now only showing in one hundred and nineteen theaters.
- 47:29Speaker 3: Wow.
- 47:30Speaker 14: And the average money made per theater is one hundred
- 47:33Speaker 14: and ninety six dollars.
- 47:34Speaker 1: Wow.
- 47:35Speaker 3: That hardly covers the staff. You would need to just
- 47:39Speaker 3: oh wow. That is again another big loss makeout. Because
- 47:44Speaker 3: they signed those big fat contracts with Netflix and the
- 47:49Speaker 3: podcast that was Spotify, their return on investment from those
- 47:54Speaker 3: big media operators has been terrible. I mean, really, I
- 47:59Speaker 3: don't know how people made those decisions are still in
- 48:01Speaker 3: their jobs because we're talking about tens of millions of
- 48:04Speaker 3: dollars that were handed over and for what what have
- 48:09Speaker 3: they actually produced that they've made any money, no success
- 48:12Speaker 3: except for that one involving them and their own personal drama,
- 48:15Speaker 3: and they can't repeat that.
- 48:17Speaker 14: And that was the Netflix one that did well. But
- 48:20Speaker 14: no business is going to want to be associated with
- 48:22Speaker 14: them now because they're proven failures.
- 48:25Speaker 3: Now, actress Margaret cho I think it's supposed to be
- 48:28Speaker 3: a comic as well, but she says comedians who joke
- 48:31Speaker 3: about trans people are contributing to trans genocide. Have a listen.
- 48:37Speaker 15: We're in the middle of a transgenocide and we have
- 48:42Speaker 15: to do anything that we can to stop at Their
- 48:45Speaker 15: actions have consequences that they don't feel because they have privilege,
- 48:49Speaker 15: So it's our job to really point it out.
- 48:53Speaker 3: Another alleged comic who has not been funny for a
- 48:57Speaker 3: very very long long time, Rosia Dolland, was at least
- 48:59Speaker 3: funny at some point. I've never seen her be funny.
- 49:03Speaker 3: What did you make of those comments throwing around terms
- 49:06Speaker 3: like trans genocide? Really, I don't think that's helpful because
- 49:11Speaker 3: I think most people who hear that just dismiss her
- 49:14Speaker 3: because that's just hyperbole. Yeah.
- 49:16Speaker 14: Well, I think we should all be treated equally, and
- 49:18Speaker 14: that includes trans people, and we can all be the
- 49:22Speaker 14: butt of a joke, and that includes trans people. So
- 49:24Speaker 14: don't tell comedians that they can't make a joke about
- 49:27Speaker 14: one particular group of people, the trans people. And she's
- 49:31Speaker 14: absolutely expanded this to something that it wasn't. We should
- 49:35Speaker 14: be able to have debates about bathrooms and sports, women's sports,
- 49:39Speaker 14: and all these issues that are affecting trans people at
- 49:41Speaker 14: the moment, but that dispute does not equate to genocide.
- 49:45Speaker 3: I mean, where is her evidence the genocide. There is
- 49:48Speaker 3: absolutely zero evidence of that. And if she's going to
- 49:53Speaker 3: make ridiculous comments like that, then call out the comics
- 49:57Speaker 3: who are making jokes about trans people, bull and everything else.
- 50:01Speaker 3: But I think she has the courage to do that
- 50:03Speaker 3: because they're among the very best in the industry, like
- 50:05Speaker 3: Ricky Gervais and Dave Chappelle. So she doesn't want to
- 50:09Speaker 3: call them out individually, but so she makes these insane
- 50:13Speaker 3: broad comments. They really only play to a very small audience.
- 50:18Speaker 3: Did he done? Levy always a pleasure, Thank you for
- 50:20Speaker 3: your time, and that's it from me. Don't go anywhere.
- 50:23Speaker 3: Late edition is up next.
