Speaker 1: On scoring MS Australia.
0:04
Speaker 2: This is the Wader Panalty Show.
0:10
Speaker 3: Good evening and welcome to the Riata Panalty Show coming
0:13
Speaker 3: up tonight. One Nation continues to soar in the polls
0:16
Speaker 3: as the Liberals sink to new Low's. I'll speak to
0:19
Speaker 3: the panel about the day's top headlines, including that viral
0:23
Speaker 3: footage from outside a Melbourne strip club. The Great Alex
0:27
Speaker 3: Epstein will be here with some sage words of advice
0:30
Speaker 3: for Climate Change Minister Chris Bowen. Josh Hammer will have
0:34
Speaker 3: the latest from the US, including revelations from the Jeffrey
0:38
Speaker 3: Epstein document dump, and later in the hour, Kins's Schofield
0:42
Speaker 3: with the left's reaction to the Millennio documentary, which had
0:46
Speaker 3: a stellar opening weekend at the box office, and left
0:50
Speaker 3: He's Losing It features more performative antiques from protesters who
0:55
Speaker 3: seem to think they're on a movie set with importation.
1:08
Speaker 3: But first, another poll that has Pauline Hanson's One Nation
1:12
Speaker 3: well ahead of the Coalition. The latest Redbridge Accent poll
1:17
Speaker 3: has support for One Nation at twenty six percent, with
1:21
Speaker 3: the Susan Lee led Liberals on just thirteen percent. Support
1:25
Speaker 3: for the old Liberal National Coalition adds up to just
1:29
Speaker 3: nineteen percent. Labor remains in front on thirty four percent,
1:33
Speaker 3: but that's only eight points ahead of One Nation, who
1:37
Speaker 3: are closing that lead fast. Opposition leader Susan Lee's personal
1:42
Speaker 3: ratings have also hit a record low, while Pauline Hanson
1:46
Speaker 3: was the most popular leader, ahead of both Lee and
1:49
Speaker 3: Prime Minister and the ALBN Easy voters also back One
1:53
Speaker 3: Nation as the best party to deal with Australia's high immigration.
1:58
Speaker 3: Thirty four percent of voters rate the party as best
2:01
Speaker 3: to deal with the issue, compared with just sixteen percent
2:04
Speaker 3: for the Government and thirteen percent for the Liberals. Joining
2:09
Speaker 3: me now is Institute of Public Affairs Research fellow Colleen
2:12
Speaker 3: Harken and Sky News contributor Louise Roberts. Colleen, it's not
2:17
Speaker 3: just immigration. On issues like cost of living and housing affordability,
2:22
Speaker 3: One Nation are doing particularly well.
2:26
Speaker 1: It's tragic for the Liberal Party and you're right, it's
2:29
Speaker 1: not just only about immigration. There are major policy issues
2:33
Speaker 1: that people want addressed.
2:35
Speaker 3: Energy.
2:37
Speaker 1: The hate speech Lauser has had a huge impact on
2:39
Speaker 1: the way people are thinking about what's happened to our country.
2:43
Speaker 1: And there's also this issue between the Nationals and the Liberals.
2:46
Speaker 1: This sort of chaotic together apart together Little Proud has
2:51
Speaker 1: just been reinstated as the leader. Where does that lead
2:53
Speaker 1: them to go to next? Because you can't just keep
2:56
Speaker 1: busting up and there are fundamental differences between the two
3:00
Speaker 1: is that they have to sort out. So it is
3:01
Speaker 1: no wonder that one nation are soaring in the polls,
3:05
Speaker 1: and I think most people have pleased that we're sort
3:07
Speaker 1: of seeing this reckoning of new territory.
3:09
Speaker 3: We've never been here before. We haven't been here before,
3:13
Speaker 3: and if we didn't have a proferential voting system probably
3:16
Speaker 3: it would be far worse for the Liberal Work and
3:19
Speaker 3: the Nationals. Louise. The media pundits are blaming the use
3:23
Speaker 3: disunity for these figures, and the disunity can't be helping.
3:27
Speaker 3: But let's not forget the disunity came after the terrible
3:33
Speaker 3: poll numbers. The coalition recorded its worst ever primary vote
3:37
Speaker 3: in consecutive polls under Susan Lee's leadership, and naturally that
3:43
Speaker 3: is going to lead to all sorts of questions about
3:46
Speaker 3: who is best to lead the party.
3:48
Speaker 4: Absolutely, I think the average voter is looking at what's
3:51
Speaker 4: happened with the Nationals and what's happened with the Liberal
3:53
Speaker 4: Party and overall the coalition and thinking, do these people
3:56
Speaker 4: even understand what it is to represent the electorate? And
3:59
Speaker 4: they send it so inward looking and more about knifing
4:02
Speaker 4: each other than actually addressing the issues I'm concerned about.
4:05
Speaker 4: And that's where one nation has really stepped in and
4:08
Speaker 4: you know, sort of created, you know, occupied the space
4:11
Speaker 4: about immigration, costs of living, housing concerns, the things that
4:15
Speaker 4: people are very anxious about which seem to be dismissed
4:18
Speaker 4: by the major parties. So, I mean to Colleen's point,
4:20
Speaker 4: and it's no wonder they're drifting away from that two
4:23
Speaker 4: tier system because they don't feel addressed or spoken to
4:26
Speaker 4: or spoken for. And some detractors may argue, well, there's
4:30
Speaker 4: no election tomorrow, but that doesn't matter. It's significant shift
4:34
Speaker 4: in policy and views of the way politicians operate that
4:37
Speaker 4: we have not seen before ever.
4:41
Speaker 3: Colleen the Australian Financial Review rights that this poll should
4:45
Speaker 3: serve as a wake up call to all major parties.
4:48
Speaker 3: The public dissatisfaction with the scale of migration cannot be
4:53
Speaker 3: dismissed as racism because many ordinary voters have legitimate concerns
4:57
Speaker 3: about the impact on health, education, housing and other government
5:02
Speaker 3: services that have not kept pace with population growth. Well, bravo,
5:06
Speaker 3: But I recall writing something very similar, almost word for word,
5:10
Speaker 3: a decade ago, and to this day we've got this
5:15
Speaker 3: taboo topic of mass migration. Indeed, some within the Liberal
5:21
Speaker 3: party don't even want to use the term mass migration.
5:24
Speaker 1: Yeah, and anybody who wants to talk about this gets
5:26
Speaker 1: shut down and accused of being a racist. They just
5:29
Speaker 1: don't seem to want to have a conversation that has
5:32
Speaker 1: a huge impact on our cost of living, on our
5:35
Speaker 1: standard of living, and our national value. So people can't
5:37
Speaker 1: throw around the words like social cohesion, But what does
5:40
Speaker 1: that mean anymore? Like what is it that we're cohering
5:43
Speaker 1: together with?
5:45
Speaker 3: So these I think when we hear those words social cohesion,
5:49
Speaker 3: you should be on alert. You're about to be sold
5:52
Speaker 3: something that is terrible for you, or.
5:55
Speaker 1: You don'n't patronize with some sort of you know, downtrodden
5:57
Speaker 1: thing that you something to.
5:58
Speaker 3: Get told to submit that it's basically what social coesion
6:02
Speaker 3: means for the left. For the elite, it is just
6:05
Speaker 3: shut up ye and learn to like it.
6:07
Speaker 1: Yeah, and be told what to do. Absolutely. And so
6:11
Speaker 1: you know, the thing that with all of this too
6:13
Speaker 1: is that the gift to the Labor Party because only
6:16
Speaker 1: a month ago we had the Anika Wells travel wrought,
6:20
Speaker 1: we had the refusal and then the reversal of the
6:23
Speaker 1: Royal Commission. We had the Isis Bride scenario. So we
6:26
Speaker 1: had some really significant issues that people wanted to address
6:30
Speaker 1: and they've sort of been pushed aside because of the
6:32
Speaker 1: coalitions in fighting. And I think that's why again the
6:35
Speaker 1: average person is looking at this and saying, we just focus.
6:38
Speaker 3: On what we need you to be doing. Absolutely, But
6:41
Speaker 3: then we had Susan Lee Luise demanding that Parliament come
6:47
Speaker 3: back early when she really had nothing concrete to offer,
6:52
Speaker 3: and then the Liberals back these draconian hate speech laws,
6:57
Speaker 3: which is only going to put the party in further
7:00
Speaker 3: peril with the base. This was entirely predictable, wasn't.
7:04
Speaker 4: It It was, and that we're very poor decision by
7:07
Speaker 4: herb so reactionary. She has been to a lot of
7:09
Speaker 4: decisions by Labor, you know, recalling parliament, etc. But again
7:13
Speaker 4: the voters are thinking, well do you stand for me?
7:15
Speaker 4: And look, Labor may be also enjoying the sort of
7:19
Speaker 4: you know, implosion of the Liberals and the National parties.
7:21
Speaker 4: But unless they get their ducks in a row on
7:24
Speaker 4: immigration as well and actually speak to the concerns, the
7:27
Speaker 4: very real concerns in the community. They'll shed more voters
7:30
Speaker 4: towards one nation as well. It's not as we've talked
7:33
Speaker 4: about it. It's not a racist issue. It's an everyday
7:36
Speaker 4: living cost of issue. How many people are in your suburb,
7:39
Speaker 4: how stretched are your services, your schools, your hospitals, your infrastructure,
7:43
Speaker 4: everything around those bases. That's a lived experience when migration
7:47
Speaker 4: levels are not properly calibrated to what we have to
7:50
Speaker 4: offer as a nation.
7:54
Speaker 3: Now, let's talk about a viral video that has gone
7:59
Speaker 3: around the world from Melbourne sees two men kicked out
8:04
Speaker 3: of a strip club after they were allegedly offensive to
8:08
Speaker 3: dancers and other staff. As they were kicked out, one
8:11
Speaker 3: of the men runs to a restaurant next door picks
8:14
Speaker 3: up a chair, intending to throw it at the bounce
8:17
Speaker 3: as you would think, but as you'll see, hea instead
8:21
Speaker 3: nails his friend in the back of the head. Bit
8:23
Speaker 3: of friendly fire there, but the man did get up.
8:27
Speaker 3: Surely wasn't as bad as it look. The security guards
8:29
Speaker 3: have been criticized for immediately bursting into laughter rather than
8:34
Speaker 3: helping the guy. But the co owner of that bar,
8:37
Speaker 3: Bar twenty, Michael Trimble, has defended the guards have listened
8:42
Speaker 3: to this.
8:43
Speaker 5: People have been emailing the club, leaving one star goog reviews,
8:47
Speaker 5: spamming the WhatsApp because they all think the guards were
8:50
Speaker 5: out of line. And I just think it's important to
8:53
Speaker 5: put things in the perspective. In order for an ejection
8:57
Speaker 5: to get to that state where guys all literally being
9:00
Speaker 5: dragged out and thrown onto the ground, things have had
9:03
Speaker 5: to escalate a lot. You have to be acting like
9:06
Speaker 5: a complete prick for it to get to that. And
9:10
Speaker 5: those guys work, they're rude to the girls that are
9:12
Speaker 5: aggressive and they refuse to leave. Then they've continued to
9:16
Speaker 5: kick off outside until I'll mate was staying out by
9:18
Speaker 5: a friendly fire.
9:20
Speaker 3: And in true Victorian star, the Bar twenty operator has
9:24
Speaker 3: the perfect approach to tackle this problem.
9:28
Speaker 5: We need a statewide chair band.
9:32
Speaker 6: Now.
9:32
Speaker 5: I'm sure there's a spare thirty million dollars or so
9:35
Speaker 5: in the state budget somewhere that we can put towards
9:37
Speaker 5: some chair disposal bins. Let's get these dangerous weapons off
9:41
Speaker 5: the streets before anyone else gets hurt.
9:45
Speaker 3: I like this Colleen, let's ban chairs, maybe have some
9:48
Speaker 3: sort of an amnesty what you couldna.
9:52
Speaker 1: In the bins with the machetes.
9:53
Speaker 3: Those dangerous chairs need to be we need to know
9:56
Speaker 3: what's happening with these chairs. That footage has been in
10:00
Speaker 3: view just tens of millions probably the time, probably by
10:04
Speaker 3: now hundreds of millions, and that's the impression people are
10:08
Speaker 3: getting of Melbourne. And it's not entirely bad because there
10:11
Speaker 3: is some humor in that clip, particularly the reaction of
10:13
Speaker 3: the bouncers.
10:14
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, it probably makes me a bad person,
10:17
Speaker 1: but I did laugh out loud when I saw it.
10:19
Speaker 1: I thought it was just desserts, and I suspect that
10:22
Speaker 1: their wives might want to have a conversation with them
10:24
Speaker 1: at some stage. But it is kind of part of
10:26
Speaker 1: this scenario that seems to have built the energy that's
10:29
Speaker 1: built up in Victoria of the last few years of
10:31
Speaker 1: this aggression. You know, there's sort of this fighting the guy,
10:35
Speaker 1: you know, going and taking a chair from a restaurant. Yeah,
10:38
Speaker 1: Like it's just so an Australian if I can say
10:41
Speaker 1: those words. We sort of seem to have lost our
10:44
Speaker 1: joy in our nation. And I don't even from a
10:47
Speaker 1: national pride point of view. I just mean from an
10:49
Speaker 1: ordinary street perspective about where you can be sure of
10:52
Speaker 1: having a quiet, happy dinner.
10:55
Speaker 3: Loise Colleen is on the money there. I know at
10:58
Speaker 3: least one of those men is far more fearful of
11:01
Speaker 3: what's going to happen with his wife than those bouncers,
11:05
Speaker 3: But there is I'm in Sydney every week, so I'm
11:08
Speaker 3: in the Melbourne CBD, the Sydney CBD, and you can
11:11
Speaker 3: see the difference. So clearly. There is such a different energy.
11:17
Speaker 3: You see people in Sydney. The streets are full on
11:20
Speaker 3: the weekend. The CBD streets, the restaurants are full, people
11:23
Speaker 3: are smiling, happy, You see a lot of families out.
11:26
Speaker 3: You just don't see that in the Melbourne CBD unless
11:28
Speaker 3: there's a major event, a football game or something like
11:31
Speaker 3: that happening. It's a depressing, dark place.
11:35
Speaker 4: And the difference in Sydney is that people are going
11:36
Speaker 4: out to have fun, as you say, with their friends
11:38
Speaker 4: and partners and family members, are not going out looking
11:41
Speaker 4: for aggravation, which these two middle aged tragics clearly were.
11:45
Speaker 4: But I agree with your point they've probably got a
11:47
Speaker 4: lot more grief when they got home from their wives
11:49
Speaker 4: or girlfriends or ex wives or girlfriends. But I mean
11:51
Speaker 4: the fact that one of them got turfed out and
11:53
Speaker 4: then went back for more, you tried to go back in.
11:55
Speaker 7: I mean, I'm on.
11:56
Speaker 4: The side of the security guards here. They've created a
11:58
Speaker 4: really good, safe environment and they just don't want trash
12:01
Speaker 4: like this on the premises. And these people think they
12:04
Speaker 4: can go into a gentleman's club aka strip club and
12:07
Speaker 4: just behave in a disgusting way and it's not on
12:10
Speaker 4: So all power to the owner of that club. I
12:11
Speaker 4: think he's really said a good example from Melbourn.
12:16
Speaker 3: I agree one hundred percent. And all those Karens who
12:19
Speaker 3: are giving the bar one star reviews on Google and
12:23
Speaker 3: pestering them about firing the guards. I mean, if you
12:26
Speaker 3: look at the full footage that's available, I think those
12:30
Speaker 3: guards did nothing wrong. Colleen Hark and Louise Roberts, thank
12:33
Speaker 3: you so much for your time tonight. Let's hear now
12:36
Speaker 3: from Climate Change and Energy Minister Chris Bowen as it
12:39
Speaker 3: continues to push the Albanesi government's battery plan. Have a listen.
12:44
Speaker 8: The albinegie Gument's getting on the job backing batteries that
12:47
Speaker 8: are big and household the wind doesn't always blow and
12:50
Speaker 8: the sun doesn't always shine, but we can storyable energy
12:54
Speaker 8: for when we need it in batteries big and slim.
12:57
Speaker 3: Joining me now is author and energy expert Alex Epstein.
13:01
Speaker 3: Alex is the Climate Change Minister Chris bow and correct
13:05
Speaker 3: our batteries a reliable and sustainable way to store renewable
13:10
Speaker 3: energy for when we need.
13:11
Speaker 9: It, well almost so. They're a reliable way to store energy,
13:19
Speaker 9: and they can work quite well if you have reliable
13:21
Speaker 9: energy that's always available to charge them. But as we
13:24
Speaker 9: just experienced in the United States with this week long
13:28
Speaker 9: cold weather spell with Storm Fern, if you don't have
13:31
Speaker 9: reliable capacity available to charge the batteries, then the batteries
13:34
Speaker 9: might not be useful. And this is what happened in
13:36
Speaker 9: the United States. We had peak demand. Solar and wind
13:39
Speaker 9: mostly went out to lunch, and we need all the
13:42
Speaker 9: electricity for consumption to actually keep ourselves from freezing to death,
13:47
Speaker 9: or at least most of the countrymen in California, but
13:49
Speaker 9: most of the country was at risk of freezing to death,
13:52
Speaker 9: and so there was no spare reliable capacity to charge
13:56
Speaker 9: the batteries, and so the batteries were often useless. Like
13:59
Speaker 9: in Texas, it's a very very small percentage of the
14:01
Speaker 9: hypothetical capacity is there. So batteries can be great, but
14:04
Speaker 9: you need to use them year round. You need reliable
14:07
Speaker 9: electricity and that's what Australia has been attacking, even more
14:10
Speaker 9: than the US has.
14:14
Speaker 5: Well.
14:14
Speaker 3: What has been the experience globally when you have countries
14:19
Speaker 3: trying to manipulate the energy market to push renewables.
14:24
Speaker 9: Well, it's both pushing renewables more fundamentally, it's pushing against
14:28
Speaker 9: fossil fuels. The whole idea of what you could call
14:32
Speaker 9: this green scam is that you're pretending that reliable fossil
14:36
Speaker 9: fuel power, which you want to eliminate for climate catastrophism reasons. Ultimately,
14:40
Speaker 9: I think the leaders have an anti human kind of
14:42
Speaker 9: bent to them, as I've discussed before. You know, you
14:45
Speaker 9: want to do that, and then you're pretending that somehow
14:47
Speaker 9: unreliable solar and wind can replace them. But the problem
14:50
Speaker 9: is you need electricity twenty four to seven three sixty five,
14:54
Speaker 9: and so what ends up happening is you still need
14:57
Speaker 9: the reliable assets and and you're making it more difficult
15:01
Speaker 9: to produce those. Often you create them and then destroy
15:04
Speaker 9: them like shutting down core plants in Australia and in
15:07
Speaker 9: the US. You do that, you make the reliable electricity
15:09
Speaker 9: more expensive, and then you add this huge, wasteful layer
15:13
Speaker 9: of unreliable electricity on top of it. That's generally been
15:16
Speaker 9: the reason why we have higher costs. And then also
15:19
Speaker 9: we go too far with restricting reliable so then we
15:21
Speaker 9: also have shortages and blackouts.
15:25
Speaker 3: Yep, it sounds like precisely what's happening in this country.
15:28
Speaker 3: We've also got the government clashing with energy providers over
15:33
Speaker 3: its plan to avoid eight gas crisis. Modeling has found
15:36
Speaker 3: wholesale gas prices with spike to over twenty dollars a
15:41
Speaker 3: gigadule if no changes were made from current market settings.
15:45
Speaker 3: State and federal energy ministers are weighing up whether to
15:48
Speaker 3: hand more powers to the Australian Energy Market Operator to
15:51
Speaker 3: avoid gas supply shortage falls. Energy operators, though, are pushing
15:56
Speaker 3: back ALEX. They're warning the powers could be us to
16:00
Speaker 3: prioritize LNG import schemes and lead to a cost hike
16:04
Speaker 3: for users. But the whole thing is just so absurd.
16:08
Speaker 3: We are importing gas in this country despite being one
16:12
Speaker 3: of the largest LNG exporters, and despite the fact that
16:16
Speaker 3: we live on hundreds some argue thousands of years of
16:20
Speaker 3: gas reserves alex.
16:22
Speaker 9: This is a bit like the experience in the Northeast
16:24
Speaker 9: United States, which not coincidentally has some of the highest
16:28
Speaker 9: electricity prices because they have all this amazing national gas
16:31
Speaker 9: available from Pennsylvania, but sometimes they import it from Russia
16:35
Speaker 9: and other places because they refuse to build pipelines. So
16:38
Speaker 9: the bottom line is, look, there's actually uses for solar.
16:41
Speaker 9: There's definitely uses for battery solar as good as a
16:44
Speaker 9: fuel saving technology when you have a lot of sun,
16:47
Speaker 9: so you can save some fuel on on your coal
16:50
Speaker 9: and your gas plants and stuff like that. But you
16:53
Speaker 9: need a country and a framework that's based on what's
16:57
Speaker 9: actually producing the most affordable, life viable solution, not a
17:01
Speaker 9: framework that's based on net zero. Australia is going to
17:05
Speaker 9: solve all the alleged climate catastrophe problems itself, and then
17:09
Speaker 9: we pretend that it's about cost make If you're really
17:12
Speaker 9: about costed reliability, you're not going to be prematurely shutting
17:16
Speaker 9: down coal plants.
17:19
Speaker 3: And whilst we are doing that here, what's happening in
17:22
Speaker 3: China and their use of coal, oil, and natural gas.
17:27
Speaker 3: It seems to be increasing, Alex Noll daycreasing. Yeah, it is.
17:33
Speaker 9: And I want to make this point to all the
17:35
Speaker 9: solar bros on Twitter, This includes solar bro in chief
17:39
Speaker 9: Elon Musk. They love to cite China, so they'll show
17:43
Speaker 9: solar is going way up in China and they're like, oh,
17:47
Speaker 9: this proves that China is being powered by solar. So
17:49
Speaker 9: first of all, they don't show that there's way more
17:51
Speaker 9: coal power powering things than there is solar. But that
17:55
Speaker 9: doesn't even really capture the main thing. You have to
17:57
Speaker 9: think of it as the coal is providing the real capacity,
18:01
Speaker 9: the on demand power that's needed twenty four to seven
18:03
Speaker 9: three sixty five. The solar is there basically as a
18:06
Speaker 9: fuel saving technology, So you can call it coller that's
18:10
Speaker 9: what it really is. It's call that's providing the real power,
18:13
Speaker 9: and then solar is helping save fuel. And that may
18:16
Speaker 9: make sense at certain places, including China, where they've arguably
18:19
Speaker 9: overproduced solar panels and are having a lot more trouble
18:22
Speaker 9: selling them internationally than they thought. But you can't treat
18:25
Speaker 9: solar as an independent, reliable source of power if you
18:29
Speaker 9: do you're going to make disastrous.
18:30
Speaker 3: Decisions, Alex. Before you go. Some interesting data has been
18:35
Speaker 3: released by the International Disaster Database, and it is good news.
18:39
Speaker 3: Climate related disaster deaths have declined ninety seven point five
18:44
Speaker 3: percent over the past century. This includes deaths from floods, drought, storms,
18:49
Speaker 3: and wildfires. Alex. In the nineteen twenties, the death count
18:53
Speaker 3: from climate related disasters was four hundred and eighty five
18:56
Speaker 3: thousand on average every year. In the last full decad
19:00
Speaker 3: from twenty ten to twenty nineteen, the average was less
19:04
Speaker 3: than eleven thousand dead per year. And yet i'd tat
19:08
Speaker 3: children at school have any idea about these sets of
19:13
Speaker 3: important data. They seem to think we're in a climate
19:16
Speaker 3: catastrophe and they have no future.
19:19
Speaker 9: Well. As one of the people who's popularized this fact,
19:22
Speaker 9: I'm a very big fan of spreading it. I've said
19:24
Speaker 9: it many times on this show. I say it on
19:26
Speaker 9: a lot of shows. It's very important for people to
19:28
Speaker 9: know that, Hey, if you care about climate livability in
19:32
Speaker 9: terms of how survivable is the climate, how vulnerable are we,
19:36
Speaker 9: life is getting much better. And it's not just getting
19:38
Speaker 9: better randomly. It's getting better in large part because of
19:42
Speaker 9: the fossil fuels that are demonized. These are the things
19:44
Speaker 9: that produce all the power that make us so resilient.
19:47
Speaker 9: So they allow us to irrigate so that we can
19:49
Speaker 9: alleviate drought. They allow us to make it warm when
19:52
Speaker 9: it's cold, They allow us to make it cool when
19:54
Speaker 9: it's hot. They allow us to build sturdy buildings, to
19:56
Speaker 9: have storm warning systems, to have evacuation systems. Like, we're
20:00
Speaker 9: so much better off climate wise than we used to be.
20:03
Speaker 9: And let's wake up. We don't live in the Middle
20:05
Speaker 9: Ages when we're just vulnerable to whatever the weather happens
20:08
Speaker 9: to be, except if we depend on weather determined sources
20:12
Speaker 9: of electricity like solar and wind, and we shut down
20:16
Speaker 9: the reliable ods. That's the only way in which we
20:19
Speaker 9: can really be vulnerable to the climate and the modern
20:22
Speaker 9: era if we forego reliable power.
20:26
Speaker 3: Alex Epstein, thank you so much for your time today.
20:29
Speaker 9: Good to see you.
20:31
Speaker 3: Still to come. Lefties Losing It plus the latest from
20:34
Speaker 3: the US, including the revelations from the Jeffrey Epstein document.
20:40
Speaker 3: Dumb Josh Hammer has the details. You're watching the Rate
20:54
Speaker 3: of Hanney Show, and it's time for Lefties Losing It.
20:57
Speaker 3: Let's start the week with the ever reliable Stephen Colbert,
21:02
Speaker 3: a man who was once funny, perhaps decades ago, but
21:05
Speaker 3: has been reduced to a miserable, moaning activist, incapable of wit,
21:11
Speaker 3: has been reduced to this look Dan.
21:15
Speaker 10: They're training to portray Border battle agents and ACE agents
21:19
Speaker 10: as Gestapo, Nazi and many other words. Yes, do not
21:23
Speaker 10: compare Ice or Border patrol agents to the Nazis. That's
21:26
Speaker 10: an unfair comparison. The Nazis were willing to show their faces.
21:31
Speaker 3: Yes, Stephen, well done, Ice and Border patrol agents are
21:35
Speaker 3: worse than Nazis. How clever and comedic of you, and
21:39
Speaker 3: do seek help before the men in white coats arrive
21:42
Speaker 3: and whiskey you away talking about crazy. Let's have a
21:45
Speaker 3: look at these agitators, these brainwashed clowns who think that
21:49
Speaker 3: our heroic freedom fighters defeating the Nazis. Just have a
21:53
Speaker 3: look at this lot. How performative and pathetic this all is.
22:21
Speaker 5: You know.
22:21
Speaker 3: Media commentator Megan Murphy nailed it when she said, these
22:25
Speaker 3: people one hundred percent thick. They're in a movie, but
22:29
Speaker 3: they're just privileged little nerds who have zero relationship with
22:33
Speaker 3: working class or poor people and have no idea how
22:36
Speaker 3: the real word works here here talk about being out
22:40
Speaker 3: of touch. Let's hear from a Lady Gaga who had
22:43
Speaker 3: a lengthy rant at a concert in Tokyo. She read
22:48
Speaker 3: it out. It wasn't very good. Here's a little of
22:51
Speaker 3: what you had to say.
22:52
Speaker 11: My head is aching thinking about the people, the children,
22:58
Speaker 11: the families all of America who are being mercilessly targeted
23:03
Speaker 11: by Ice. I'm thinking about all of their pain and
23:13
Speaker 11: how their lives are being destroyed in front of us.
23:18
Speaker 11: I'm also thinking about Minnesota and everyone back at home
23:23
Speaker 11: who is living and so much fear and searching for
23:27
Speaker 11: answers on what we all should do.
23:33
Speaker 3: Just so divorced from reality. And did you notice the
23:36
Speaker 3: lack of cheers and applause the Japanese have at no
23:39
Speaker 3: time for your empty, vacuous and self indulgent virtue signaling.
23:44
Speaker 3: Lady gar Guide blows my mind that she would deliver
23:47
Speaker 3: that idiotic grant in Japan, a country that has zero
23:52
Speaker 3: tolerance for illegal immigration, a country with some of the
23:55
Speaker 3: strictest migration laws anywhere in the world. Now, when the
24:00
Speaker 3: les are not cheering on lawless violent to agitate as
24:03
Speaker 3: in Minneapolis, they are cheering for Saxon and n Hack
24:06
Speaker 3: Don Lemon, who was arrested for storming a church during
24:10
Speaker 3: Sunday service. That gets to standing ovation in Hollywood. But
24:33
Speaker 3: I'm sure what you're desperate to know right now is
24:36
Speaker 3: what the most chronically wrong woman in Hollywood thinks of
24:40
Speaker 3: the whole. Don Lemon saga a woman who is proof
24:43
Speaker 3: that wisdom does not come with age. Take it away.
24:47
Speaker 12: Annoyed Jane don Lemons a professional journalist. He and his
24:53
Speaker 12: producer were doing their job, nothing more, nothing less. He's
25:00
Speaker 12: been arrested, and they'll make up all kinds of defamatory
25:04
Speaker 12: things to say about him. That's what they're doing. This
25:07
Speaker 12: is how autocrats act. We can't fall for it. We
25:12
Speaker 12: have to speak up when a red line is crossed
25:16
Speaker 12: like this. We cannot be silent.
25:18
Speaker 3: Let's bring in Yearsweek's Senior editor at Large and Article
25:21
Speaker 3: three Projects Senior Council Josh Hammer.
25:24
Speaker 5: Josh.
25:25
Speaker 3: Jane Fonda says this is authoritarian and a breach of
25:28
Speaker 3: the First Amendment.
25:31
Speaker 12: So I know, Don Lemon, my husband created CNN, and
25:36
Speaker 12: I will fight for their right to speak, which is
25:39
Speaker 12: guaranteed in our constitution. They arrested the wrong done.
25:48
Speaker 3: Josh, What's your response to those pearls of wisdom from
25:52
Speaker 3: Jane Fonda.
25:54
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, I literally can't think of a greater
25:56
Speaker 2: endorsement of Pambondi and the doj issuing in a warrant
26:00
Speaker 2: for Don Lemon than Hanoy Jane herself coming out of
26:03
Speaker 2: post it. I mean, what an absolutely mesmerizing endorsement for
26:08
Speaker 2: this current prosecution. Look, this notion that journalists in America
26:13
Speaker 2: have a higher First man protection than most Americans is
26:17
Speaker 2: a common misconception. Look, I am a lawyer, I'm also
26:20
Speaker 2: a journalist. My first man rights are the exact same
26:23
Speaker 2: as literally any other American in the country. Journalists have
26:26
Speaker 2: no hire or any different degree of first men protection.
26:30
Speaker 2: The first memen does indeed protect your right to stand
26:32
Speaker 2: on a public property, stand on a sidewalk, stay in
26:35
Speaker 2: public square. You can hold up your dumb Ford Foundation,
26:38
Speaker 2: ties foundation, stupid open boroughs, George Source find Side, abolish ice,
26:43
Speaker 2: dhs as, fasci as, arrest the Orange man, whatever, who
26:46
Speaker 2: gives a crowd. You can do that. Here's what you
26:49
Speaker 2: can't do. You can't trespass private property. And even more
26:52
Speaker 2: than that, we have federal statutes on the books that specifically,
26:56
Speaker 2: specifically criminalized doing this when it comes to a house
26:58
Speaker 2: of worship. This is back in the good old days,
27:00
Speaker 2: back when there was by parts and agreement that speaking
27:03
Speaker 2: the First Amendment, honnoid Jane. You know what else is there?
27:06
Speaker 11: Oh?
27:06
Speaker 2: Yeah, the free exercise of religion? And back in nineteen nineties,
27:09
Speaker 2: back when Democrats are still relatively saying, you have the
27:11
Speaker 2: Bill Clintonland Democrats lead this by Paris in charge to
27:14
Speaker 2: pass the Face Act in nineteinety four, statute that specifically
27:18
Speaker 2: criminalizes doing exactly what Don Lemon and his bunch of
27:21
Speaker 2: not so merry left wing hooligans did in Saint Paul,
27:24
Speaker 2: Minnesota a few times ago. You can't disrupt a house
27:26
Speaker 2: of worship there, Frankly, Rita, We've heard how many times
27:30
Speaker 2: in the past few years this refrained from Joe Biden and
27:32
Speaker 2: Merrick Garland and the rest of what I used to
27:33
Speaker 2: call the Democrat law fair complex. How many times do
27:35
Speaker 2: we hear this refrain? Then, no one is above the law.
27:38
Speaker 2: I agree with that statement, no one is by the law.
27:40
Speaker 2: The question is, is Don Lemon above the law? Pam
27:43
Speaker 2: Bondy and Donald Trump say no, They're totally correct on that.
27:47
Speaker 3: Well, Hollywood says he is. He's getting standing ovations from
27:52
Speaker 3: Hollywood these days, ridiculous stuff. We've got another Democrat media
27:57
Speaker 3: narrative that has come undone josh by facts and footage,
28:01
Speaker 3: and that's this characterization of Alex Pretty, who was shot
28:05
Speaker 3: dead in a scuffle with our federal officers in Minneapolis.
28:09
Speaker 3: We had CNN claimed this man was perfect. They used
28:13
Speaker 3: that word perfect man, what you want your son to
28:15
Speaker 3: grow up to be, who you want your daughter to marry.
28:18
Speaker 3: And every Democrat politician has pushed that narrative. But then
28:22
Speaker 3: footage emerged of his antiques at other recent violent protests.
28:27
Speaker 3: Let's have a look at this viral clip of Democrat
28:30
Speaker 3: Elizabeth Warren talking about Pretty with that unearthed footage playing.
28:36
Speaker 13: Caring for people was at the core of who he was.
28:40
Speaker 13: He was incapable of causing harm. Alex carried patience, compassion,
28:46
Speaker 13: and calm as a steady light within him. Even at
28:51
Speaker 13: the very end that light was there. I recognized his
28:56
Speaker 13: familiar stillness and signature calm composure.
29:00
Speaker 3: As is often the case with these manufactured outrageous the
29:06
Speaker 3: truth is kind of lost in the hysteria. But I
29:10
Speaker 3: wonder how many reassessing the perception of what happened with
29:15
Speaker 3: footage like that?
29:18
Speaker 2: Yeah, nothing says composure, like the video that we just saw,
29:21
Speaker 2: like literally kicking a federal vehicle of yelling, spinning in
29:25
Speaker 2: the face of ox there, nothing says composure, Elizabeth the
29:29
Speaker 2: word nothing says composure Pocahontas like that video right there.
29:32
Speaker 2: I mean, I mean, how many times does the left
29:35
Speaker 2: do this where they find one? I mean, I think
29:36
Speaker 2: back to kill Maurabrego Garcia, this MS thirteen connected human trafficker,
29:41
Speaker 2: that this sex offender, the Maryland man, the quintessential Maryland man.
29:45
Speaker 2: There he's out there and a white T shirt mowing
29:47
Speaker 2: his lawn. There, that's what you should be when you
29:49
Speaker 2: grow up there, you should be the Maryland man. Kill
29:51
Speaker 2: Maura Brio Garcia. You should be Allex Preddy, who's full
29:54
Speaker 2: of composure there. Heck, why don't you go back to
29:56
Speaker 2: the Washington Post from about seven or eight years ago.
29:59
Speaker 2: While we try to be an austere religious scholar, kind
30:02
Speaker 2: of like a blahar outbhat day, they had a vice there.
30:05
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, the hits just keep on coming
30:07
Speaker 2: right there. But look, you know we're being a little
30:09
Speaker 2: tongue in cheek here. Look the reality is a young
30:12
Speaker 2: man died, and he died because it is very similar.
30:15
Speaker 2: He died because Democrats did not play along. If Tim
30:18
Speaker 2: Wallas and Jacob Fryan, Illin Omar and Keith Ellis and
30:21
Speaker 2: the rest of the Minnesota Democrats habitat had just said, Okay,
30:23
Speaker 2: you know what federal law is supreme, we understand the
30:26
Speaker 2: supremacist cause, we understand the constitution. Come in here a
30:29
Speaker 2: resturant lands. If they had done that, Rita, none of
30:32
Speaker 2: this would have happened. The reason that Renee Good and
30:34
Speaker 2: the reason that Alex Peretty are dead is because they
30:37
Speaker 2: ginned up these people into demagogic fits of rage. It's
30:42
Speaker 2: essentially kind of taken the hamas martyrdom complex and taking
30:46
Speaker 2: it to the American home front, but trying to use
30:48
Speaker 2: these people as martyrs. It's like death pornography. Really, it's awful.
30:53
Speaker 2: It's absolutely awful. And again a young man lost his life,
30:56
Speaker 2: someone who I didn't agree with politically obviously, but it's
30:58
Speaker 2: still tragic. He had siblings, parents, etc. There And ultimately,
31:01
Speaker 2: really the blood really in this case is on the hands.
31:04
Speaker 2: I think of Tim Walls, Keith Elison and these demogogues
31:07
Speaker 2: railed up people like alex pretty.
31:11
Speaker 3: And it's funny that this is happening in Minneapolis when
31:14
Speaker 3: ICE is operating throughout the country and they are deporting
31:18
Speaker 3: a lot more people from places like Texas than Minnesota,
31:22
Speaker 3: and we're not seeing those issues there because law enforcement
31:25
Speaker 3: is cooperating instead of obstructing. And of course, Minneapolis and Minnesota,
31:31
Speaker 3: the entire state of Minnesota has been caught up in
31:34
Speaker 3: an unprecedented fraud scandal, and we're not talking about that anymore,
31:39
Speaker 3: are we, Josh. The focus is entirely on ICE and
31:42
Speaker 3: these protests. Now, we've seen more healthcare professionals fired for
31:47
Speaker 3: posting unhinged rants online threatening to harm political opponents. Most
31:54
Speaker 3: people would call that domestic terrorism. Among the latest to
31:58
Speaker 3: be sacked is Melinda Cook, a nurse anethetist from Virginia
32:03
Speaker 3: who was fired because she posted videos of herself encouraging
32:06
Speaker 3: medical professionals to drug ICE agents with paralytic meds, and
32:12
Speaker 3: she also advised non medical staff to do their bit
32:15
Speaker 3: to deliberately injure ICE agents. Get on tender, get on
32:19
Speaker 3: to find these guys they're around. They're an ACE agent.
32:23
Speaker 3: Bring some exlax and put it in their drinks. Get
32:28
Speaker 3: them sick, get them sick, Josh, that's what she said.
32:32
Speaker 3: There appears to be a disproportionate number of sick, dangerously
32:38
Speaker 3: ideological people in the medical profession, and that's scary. These
32:43
Speaker 3: videos of nurses or others in the medical profession posting
32:49
Speaker 3: just really ugly threatening stuff online are becoming all too common. Yeah.
32:56
Speaker 2: You know, someone apparently didn't read about the Hippocratic oath
32:59
Speaker 2: when she went to nursing school. I suppose right. I mean,
33:01
Speaker 2: the first rule of course medicine is famously to do
33:04
Speaker 2: no harm. I guess unless you're a leftist. I guess
33:06
Speaker 2: you're a leftist, than the first rule sometimes actually is
33:08
Speaker 2: due harm. If you're a leftist, maybe the very first
33:11
Speaker 2: rule actually is to cheer on the assassination of my
33:13
Speaker 2: late friend Charlie Kirk. If you're a leftist, maybe your
33:15
Speaker 2: first rule is to cheer on the near assassination of
33:18
Speaker 2: Donald J. Trump. If you're a leftist, maybe your first
33:21
Speaker 2: instinct is to start naming your babies Luigi after Ligi Mangioni,
33:26
Speaker 2: this anarchist who shot dead a father and a husband
33:32
Speaker 2: in cold blood a point blank range, simply for being
33:35
Speaker 2: the CEO of a healthcare company. There and now now
33:38
Speaker 2: astoundingly liegi Man Jones actually gonna avoid the death penalty.
33:40
Speaker 2: To me, it's utterly astounding there. I mean, there's something
33:43
Speaker 2: deeply sick. There's something deeply sick in the American leftist mentality.
33:47
Speaker 2: And I think that the media bears a shockingly high
33:51
Speaker 2: part of the blame for this, because they've spent years
33:53
Speaker 2: and years and years Communica in this message that their
33:56
Speaker 2: political opposition is not someone to be amicably debated with,
34:00
Speaker 2: but is an existential threat. How many times we heard
34:02
Speaker 2: this a threat to democracy, a threat to the rule
34:05
Speaker 2: of law, threat to the constitution. There are a threat
34:07
Speaker 2: to all of us there. Take matters into your own
34:10
Speaker 2: hands and do whatever is necessary to make this right.
34:13
Speaker 4: There.
34:13
Speaker 2: That's how you end up with videos like this. That's
34:15
Speaker 2: how you end up with all these outrageous elementary school
34:18
Speaker 2: teachers who are having their children read celebrations of Charlie
34:22
Speaker 2: Kirk's murder. It's six six stuff. Riata and I asked
34:24
Speaker 2: the same question that I've been asking for a long
34:26
Speaker 2: time and about the rise of political violence, which is,
34:28
Speaker 2: where are the leaders on the Democrat side of the aisle,
34:32
Speaker 2: These senior statesmen who can look at videos like this
34:34
Speaker 2: and say enough, this is way too far there. I
34:37
Speaker 2: haven't seen that yet, and I haven't seen them because
34:39
Speaker 2: probably there's no one cable to get in that speech
34:41
Speaker 2: at the time, which says onions known about the state
34:42
Speaker 2: of that party.
34:45
Speaker 3: Well, when you're characterizing ICE agents as a modern day
34:49
Speaker 3: fascists and Nazis and whipping up that sort of fear
34:55
Speaker 3: in hysteria, you're not going to speak at against this,
34:57
Speaker 3: are you? You're creating more of this. Now, let's talk
35:02
Speaker 3: about the Epstein files. A lot of new revelations in
35:05
Speaker 3: the latest Epstein document dump, including this, The convicted pedophile
35:11
Speaker 3: once asked Ken Start to help discredited TEDS afflicted author
35:15
Speaker 3: Michael Wolfe to dig up dirt on President Trump. Josh.
35:20
Speaker 3: We learned from previous document releases that back in twenty fifteen,
35:25
Speaker 3: wolf encouraged Jeffrey Epstein to blackmail the then presidential candidate
35:31
Speaker 3: Donald Trump. The relationship here is fascinating, and Michael Wolfe
35:37
Speaker 3: has also said that Jeffrey Epstein believed it was Donald
35:41
Speaker 3: Trump who first alerted law enforcement about what was happening
35:46
Speaker 3: under his roof, and he hated him for that ever since.
35:52
Speaker 2: Donald Trump famously kicked Jeffrey Epstein out of Mori Lago.
35:55
Speaker 2: He literally kicked him out of being a member at
35:57
Speaker 2: the private Morrolago Club after these rebelastions first came to life. So,
36:01
Speaker 2: I mean, Jeffrey Epstein read my reading of the case
36:05
Speaker 2: for a long time. And Jeffrey Epstein held a grudge,
36:07
Speaker 2: held a grudge against Donald Trump for a very very
36:09
Speaker 2: long time. I mean, there were there were those messages
36:12
Speaker 2: that came out where Jeffrey Epstein was texting the non
36:16
Speaker 2: voting rep for the US Virgin Islands during this Michael
36:19
Speaker 2: Cohen hearing. He was obsessed with trying to to make
36:21
Speaker 2: Michael Cohen look good to bring down Donald Trump. There,
36:24
Speaker 2: he was obsessed with bringing down Trump. He hated Donald Trump,
36:26
Speaker 2: and he hated Donald Trump because on a level it
36:29
Speaker 2: was very personal for him. Jeffrey Epstein, the reasons that
36:32
Speaker 2: are still somewhat on theaters day, had amassed this astounding
36:36
Speaker 2: roll decks and was hobnominally with the rich and the
36:38
Speaker 2: famous and this and then that, and I mean, you
36:40
Speaker 2: name it. He probably knew them there. And there were
36:42
Speaker 2: very few people who, in the later years of his life,
36:45
Speaker 2: had no tolerance and whatsoever. And Donald Trump was one
36:48
Speaker 2: of those individuals there. So you know, this whole effort
36:50
Speaker 2: that we're seeing from from the left, ro Conna of California,
36:54
Speaker 2: various other Democrats who were trying so hard to try
36:57
Speaker 2: to get Trump via the Epstein files, it's not going
37:00
Speaker 2: to work. I mean, you're much likely going to be
37:02
Speaker 2: hoisted on your own petari. When it comes to Bill Clinton,
37:04
Speaker 2: who was famously a hecklock closer to Jeffrey Epstein than
37:07
Speaker 2: Dald Trump was himself.
37:10
Speaker 3: Well, he did have that infamous painting of Bill Clinton
37:15
Speaker 3: hanging at his main property.
37:17
Speaker 9: In New York.
37:18
Speaker 3: I mean that in itself, my gosh. I think there's
37:22
Speaker 3: a lot more for us to learn about that. And
37:24
Speaker 3: among some of the more notable news items to come
37:28
Speaker 3: from this latest document dump is the claim that the
37:31
Speaker 3: billionaire and philanthropist Bill Gates caught sexually transmitted diseases from
37:38
Speaker 3: Russian girls and then tried to secretly give his wife
37:42
Speaker 3: antibiotics to cover that up. Jeffrey Epstein claimed in July
37:47
Speaker 3: twenty thirteen that the Microsoft co founder asked one of
37:51
Speaker 3: his advisors to providing with medicine to treat STDs. The
37:55
Speaker 3: allegations have been rejected as completely false by Gates spokesperson
38:01
Speaker 3: Joshua But I do recall Melinda Gates saying that the
38:07
Speaker 3: relationship Bill Gates had with Jeffrey Epstein was a key
38:12
Speaker 3: factor in the divorce.
38:15
Speaker 2: Yeah, look, I mean between Bill Gates and Jeffrey Epstein,
38:17
Speaker 2: I mean philp a coy mean, who's like the less
38:19
Speaker 2: reputable of the two. I mean, who could you possibly
38:21
Speaker 2: believe here?
38:22
Speaker 9: Right?
38:23
Speaker 2: I mean, I honestly have no idea if this true
38:25
Speaker 2: or not.
38:25
Speaker 3: There.
38:26
Speaker 2: You know, Bill Gates, by the way, he's done something
38:29
Speaker 2: of an under the radar, a bit of a reversal
38:32
Speaker 2: on his snatchery issue on climate change that this was
38:34
Speaker 2: really concept on the radar reader. I'm not sure how
38:36
Speaker 2: many people of coff this there. He issued a very
38:38
Speaker 2: interesting blog post on his blog in late October saying,
38:41
Speaker 2: you know what, I was actually wrong about climate change.
38:43
Speaker 2: It's actually not gonna end the whole world. Turns out
38:45
Speaker 2: that a lot mos are kind of overstanding the damage there.
38:48
Speaker 2: So he's trying to do a bit of a Mea
38:49
Speaker 2: culp on this here. Maybe there's gonna be another Maya
38:51
Speaker 2: culpa coming when it comes to his relationship with with
38:55
Speaker 2: Jeffrey Epstein.
38:55
Speaker 14: There.
38:56
Speaker 2: Look, I have no idea if Epstein was personally responsible
38:58
Speaker 2: for this divorce between Linda Gates and Bill Gates, but
39:01
Speaker 2: you know what, it sounds like it kind of fits honestly.
39:03
Speaker 2: I mean they got divorced there as you, as you
39:06
Speaker 2: correctly know, Melinda said that Bill Gates was involved in
39:08
Speaker 2: all sorts of questionable sketchy behavior there. And who's the
39:12
Speaker 2: king of sketchy behavior. Oh yeah, Jeffrey Epstein. There a
39:14
Speaker 2: guy who was very much in Bill Gates Broldeck. So
39:16
Speaker 2: it's kind of like, you know, if the shoe fits
39:18
Speaker 2: mean of something there. But as I said, these are
39:20
Speaker 2: two absolute dirtbags. So I mean, take your pick as
39:22
Speaker 2: who to believe, I guess.
39:26
Speaker 3: But I do repeat that Bill Gates, through a spokesperson,
39:30
Speaker 3: has said all these allegations are completely false. Josh Hammer,
39:34
Speaker 3: it's always a pleasure. Thanks for your time. Tonight Still
39:38
Speaker 3: to come the left's reaction to the Millennia documentary, which
39:42
Speaker 3: had a stellar opening weekend of the box office. Kinsey's
39:46
Speaker 3: Schofield joins me with the latest welcome back. Let's have
40:00
Speaker 3: a look at some of the feral hate and bile coming.
40:03
Speaker 3: Nicki Minaj's way for standing up for Christians and for
40:07
Speaker 3: pledging her support to President Trump. Here's an example of
40:11
Speaker 3: that hate and bile, courtesy of actor and singer Billy Porter.
40:16
Speaker 3: Nick Minight has been trending.
40:18
Speaker 14: You know.
40:21
Speaker 7: Her when people show you who they are, believe them
40:26
Speaker 7: the first time, and all.
40:32
Speaker 3: Of them joining me now is celebrity and royal commentator
40:37
Speaker 3: and host of Kinsey scho Feel Unfiltered Kinsey. That was
40:41
Speaker 3: quite the meltdown from Billy Porter.
40:44
Speaker 14: It really was. Should we send somebody to check on him?
40:47
Speaker 14: I mean, what we're seeing here is intolerance. Masquer reading
40:51
Speaker 14: is moral outreach. Nicki Minaj expressing her faith and her
40:55
Speaker 14: political support. I think, you know, instead of debating it,
40:59
Speaker 14: she's met with public shaming and theatrical rage. The irony
41:03
Speaker 14: is the same people preaching inclusion, like Billy Porter, seem
41:07
Speaker 14: completely incapable of tolerating descent, especially from a powerful woman
41:12
Speaker 14: who will not fall in line.
41:16
Speaker 3: Well said now, UK Prime Minister Kiss Starmer has called
41:20
Speaker 3: on Andrew mount bat Windsor to testify before Congress following
41:25
Speaker 3: the release of even more Epstein files, including disturbing photos
41:30
Speaker 3: which appear to show the man formerly known as Prince
41:33
Speaker 3: Andrew on all fours over the top of eight female
41:37
Speaker 3: lying down on the floor. Kinsy, what more can you
41:40
Speaker 3: tell me about this latest Epstein document dump?
41:44
Speaker 14: How humiliating. And we're still going through these documents. They're
41:49
Speaker 14: still more to be discovered. But I think that these
41:51
Speaker 14: latest messages and pictures only deepen the questions around Andrew's
41:56
Speaker 14: judgment and associations. The material reinforces a long standing concern
42:01
Speaker 14: that the Royal family has never fully confronted the seriousness
42:05
Speaker 14: of Andrew's proximity to Epstein. I think calls for his
42:08
Speaker 14: testimony are about accountability, and the pressure is growing because
42:13
Speaker 14: silence is no longer acceptable. But truly, how credible is Andrew?
42:17
Speaker 7: Not?
42:18
Speaker 13: Very no.
42:20
Speaker 3: I still remember that interview, that infamous interview where he
42:24
Speaker 3: spoke about how he doesn't sweat and that was proof
42:28
Speaker 3: of his innocence. I mean that that was such an
42:31
Speaker 3: ill advised move for him. If he's going to testify
42:34
Speaker 3: before Congress, let's hope he's a little better rehearse than
42:38
Speaker 3: he was for that interview.
42:40
Speaker 7: Now.
42:40
Speaker 3: In another email, Sarah Ferguson Fergie told Jeffrey Epstein that
42:44
Speaker 3: she was waiting for her youngest daughter to come back
42:47
Speaker 3: from a shagging weekend. This is an eight twenty ten
42:52
Speaker 3: email after the convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein asked her if
42:57
Speaker 3: she was coming to New York. Yeah.
43:01
Speaker 14: I mean that email is shocking because of how casual
43:03
Speaker 14: it is. It's vulgar and good lord, I mean, how
43:07
Speaker 14: humiliating for her daughter today. But it also reflects an
43:11
Speaker 14: environment where Epstein was normalized within royal circles, long after
43:15
Speaker 14: his criminal behavior was widely known. You know, how often
43:19
Speaker 14: do we talk about how you are, who you associate with,
43:22
Speaker 14: whether or not laws were broken. The moral failure and
43:26
Speaker 14: lack of boundaries is undeniable and deeply uncomfortable for the monarchy.
43:33
Speaker 3: And Milania. Trump's documentary brought in a whopping seven million
43:38
Speaker 3: US at the box office during its opening weekend, making
43:41
Speaker 3: it the highest grossing debut for a non fiction film
43:46
Speaker 3: in the past decade, and of course, the left wing
43:48
Speaker 3: media are not impressed. The Hollywood Reporter called the documentary
43:54
Speaker 3: a propaganda doto, The Atlantic labeled it a disgrace, and
43:59
Speaker 3: the audience said it was pure endless. Hell, oh, kinzy,
44:05
Speaker 3: they must be miserable. It's doing so well at the
44:08
Speaker 3: box office. Are you allergic to cature?
44:12
Speaker 2: Like, how can you call it miserable?
44:13
Speaker 14: I mean, I could just look at her in outfits
44:15
Speaker 14: all day long, but I mean they are furious, but
44:19
Speaker 14: the audience has spoken. The media can sneer all they want,
44:23
Speaker 14: but seven million does not come from ideology. It comes
44:26
Speaker 14: from genuine interest. Viewers are curious about Milania Trump as
44:30
Speaker 14: a person, not the caricature they've been sold, and that
44:34
Speaker 14: loss of narrative control is what really upsets the critics.
44:37
Speaker 9: I think.
44:40
Speaker 3: I haven't seen it yet, I can't pass judgment, but
44:43
Speaker 3: there is certainly a great deal of fascination with Milania.
44:48
Speaker 3: She does seem like a woman of mystery, despite the
44:51
Speaker 3: fact she's been in the public eye so long. What
44:55
Speaker 3: have you made of the film? Have you watched the
44:57
Speaker 3: full thing or seen clips?
45:00
Speaker 11: Yeah?
45:00
Speaker 3: I loved it.
45:01
Speaker 14: I mean I did think that it was I don't
45:06
Speaker 14: think I know her. I certainly did not walk away
45:08
Speaker 14: feeling like I know who she truly was. But I
45:11
Speaker 14: definitely thought that she was a much softer character than
45:15
Speaker 14: she's been painted out to be in the press. A
45:17
Speaker 14: great mother somebody that is I want to say, where's
45:23
Speaker 14: the pants in the family? But I feel like that's
45:24
Speaker 14: a disservice to the president. But she is definitely the
45:27
Speaker 14: boss when she wants to be. She's a brilliant woman,
45:30
Speaker 14: has a great head on her shoulders, and is just gorgeous.
45:34
Speaker 14: I mean, you know, I think she's incredibly beautiful.
45:37
Speaker 3: And Kinsey Milania has not featured on the cover of Vogue,
45:41
Speaker 3: unlike every other First Lady in recent years or other
45:44
Speaker 3: fashion magazines, despite being uniquely stunning. Now let's talk about
45:50
Speaker 3: Joe Rogan. He's revealed that he refused to pay the
45:52
Speaker 3: Golden Globes a five hundred dollars submission fee in order
45:56
Speaker 3: to be nominated in their podcast category. He explains why
46:01
Speaker 3: he decided not to go through with it.
46:04
Speaker 6: A lot of people say, woe wasn't Joe Rogan nominated
46:06
Speaker 6: for the Golden Globes, And like, what did you know?
46:08
Speaker 6: Amy Puller went, I didn't submit. You had to pay
46:11
Speaker 6: five hundred dollars, And the five hundred dollars is like
46:14
Speaker 6: for paperwork or whatever. I said, No, I don't care.
46:17
Speaker 6: I already won. Like, you can't tell me I didn't win.
46:20
Speaker 6: I've been number one for six years in a row.
46:22
Speaker 6: All of a sudden, you're going to have a contest
46:23
Speaker 6: in front of all these people were in tuxedos, and
46:25
Speaker 6: you're gonna say, now I'm not number one.
46:28
Speaker 3: Smart move by him, But getting recognized by those people
46:32
Speaker 3: should not be a goal of someone like a Joe
46:34
Speaker 3: Rogan or anyone who wants to be taken seriously. It's
46:38
Speaker 3: normally a sign that you're on the right wrong track
46:41
Speaker 3: if those people are giving you a ward.
46:43
Speaker 14: SKINSI exactly, and it's so right when he was like,
46:47
Speaker 14: you're not going to tell me I'm not number one?
46:49
Speaker 14: You know, analytically, statistically, you can look at that guy's
46:54
Speaker 14: number on the charts for the for how many years. Now,
46:57
Speaker 14: He's like, Ammy Poler, doesn't take that away from me
46:59
Speaker 14: because a group of people, a group of her friends,
47:02
Speaker 14: decided to handle this trophy.
47:04
Speaker 3: And he understands something.
47:05
Speaker 14: Legacy institutions refuse to admit cultural relevance cannot be bought
47:09
Speaker 14: with submission fees. When award bodies start charging creators to
47:13
Speaker 14: validate them, it exposes how out of touch they are now.
47:19
Speaker 3: Ellen de Generes has been caught shopping for a new
47:23
Speaker 3: mansion the same day she joined calls Right nationwide no work,
47:29
Speaker 3: no school, no shopping protests against US Kinsey. As I've
47:34
Speaker 3: often said, if the Left didn't have double standards, that
47:37
Speaker 3: have no standards at all, I.
47:41
Speaker 14: Just know that you were shocked. You were floored when
47:43
Speaker 14: you saw this story. I mean, this is textbook celebrity hypocrisy.
47:48
Speaker 14: Calling for economic shutdowns while shopping for luxury real estate
47:54
Speaker 14: on the same day tells you everything. These protests are
47:58
Speaker 14: symbolic gestures that cost activists nothing, custom nothing to post
48:03
Speaker 14: something on their Instagram, while working families are expected to
48:07
Speaker 14: shoulder the consequences.
48:11
Speaker 3: That's been revealed that Tom Cruise deserted his thirty five
48:15
Speaker 3: million pound nights Breach flat in London just days after
48:19
Speaker 3: an armed moped gang rated a nearby roll Ex store because,
48:24
Speaker 3: according to insiders, Tom Cruise feels London has declined and
48:28
Speaker 3: it's no longer safe, Kinzy, I know plenty of Brits
48:32
Speaker 3: who feel exactly the same way, so do I thank you,
48:36
Speaker 3: Sadik Khan.
48:37
Speaker 14: Londoners have been raising alarms about crime for years, and
48:42
Speaker 14: they are often dismissed as alarmists. But when someone as
48:45
Speaker 14: security conscious as Tom Cruise quietly exits, it reinforces what
48:50
Speaker 14: locals already know. Public safety concerns are no longer theatrical.
48:54
Speaker 14: There are lived experiences. I have friends that can't wear
48:57
Speaker 14: watches anymore. You have to wear a leash on your
49:00
Speaker 14: cell phone. It's unacceptable.
49:04
Speaker 3: It is crazy that in a first world city you
49:07
Speaker 3: can't just look at your phone and walk down the
49:10
Speaker 3: street because someone in a moped is going to go
49:13
Speaker 3: past and grab it out of your hand. And the
49:15
Speaker 3: cops will not help you, Kinsey, because this sort of
49:19
Speaker 3: crime is just so commonplace that they just tell you
49:23
Speaker 3: to go fill out a form and claim it on
49:26
Speaker 3: your insurance. They have given up almost.
49:30
Speaker 14: But they will show up at your house if they
49:32
Speaker 14: don't like a tweet. They will show up at your
49:34
Speaker 14: house if they don't like.
49:35
Speaker 3: What you post it on social media. That's where the
49:39
Speaker 3: resources are absolutely, Kinsey'scofield, thank you so much for your
49:43
Speaker 3: time tonight, and that's all the time we have. I'll
49:47
Speaker 3: see you tomorrow night at eleven. Newsnight is up next
