• 0:30
  Speaker 2: air meltdown, I'm not gonna believe that. Later in the hour,
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: the popular Australian comic who has declared that all vegans
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: are idiots.
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: He'll be here to explain himself.

• 0:47
  Speaker 4: a girl. It's your three and that's me on a
• 0:48
  Speaker 4: billboard in Times Square.
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: But First Treasurer Jim Chalmers handed down Labour's pre election budget.
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: It's a bit of a spenderthon to soften.
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: Voters up ahead of the election. The large es.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: Includes another round of one hundred and fifty dollars energy bill,
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: rebates and tax cuts of around five dollars per week
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: for the average worker. This is a budget aimed at
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: buying the votes of low information voters. Watch how the
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: Assistant Minister to the Prime Minister, Patrick Gorman promoted the
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: budget on his social media accounts.
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: I'm so excited about the budget. Do you you're excited?
• 1:28
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm getting one hundred and fifty bucks off my
• 1:30
  Speaker 5: power bill.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: You are What else?
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: Are you excited about?
• 1:37
  Speaker 6: The Medicare all of the Medicare, the Buyer Australia.
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: Stuff and the three day childcare guarantee you have kids?
• 1:45
  Speaker 7: Yeah, Leo and Ruby.
• 1:48
  Speaker 8: Of course because because we both were both about the budget.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: Yes, we're all very excited about years of deficits and
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: being in over what a trillion dollars in debt. Joining
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: me now for more Sky News contributors Tina McQueen and
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: Prue McSween. Tina, the Coalition is opposing this tax change.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: They're saying seventy cents a day is not going to
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: do much to help the average Australian.
• 2:15
  Speaker 8: Look, it's so insignificant. It's really not going to make
• 2:17
  Speaker 8: a difference. I mean five dollars a week and then
• 2:19
  Speaker 8: ten dollars a week twelve months down the track. I
• 2:22
  Speaker 8: don't think this is going to win open election and
• 2:24
  Speaker 8: the rebates they've offered, I mean, the energy bills are
• 2:26
  Speaker 8: going so high Rita, they're not really helping the average person.
• 2:33
  Speaker 8: You're simply going to ask yourself are you better off
• 2:35
  Speaker 8: than you were when this government first came in? And
• 2:38
  Speaker 8: the answer is fundamentally no. So I hope that Dunton
• 2:43
  Speaker 8: comes out with some bold policies that will make a
• 2:45
  Speaker 8: difference because the Treasurer's delivery is not going to win
• 2:48
  Speaker 8: it for Labor with these policies.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: But Proue, I do wonder whether the Labor government has
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: set a trap for the Coalition given this teeny tiny
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: tax cut, and if the Coalition don't back it, they'll
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: say they're standing in the way of tax cuts for
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: the average Australian, even though those tax cuts we know
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: amount to seventy cents a day. It's not a great
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: look for the Coalition to be opposing any sort of
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: tax cut.
• 3:19
  Speaker 9: Well, they need to be mounting a proper argument. This
• 3:22
  Speaker 9: is really a come to Jesus moment for the electorate,
• 3:27
  Speaker 9: where people I think are grasping that all of these
• 3:31
  Speaker 9: solutions are manipula, political manipulations by government via the government,
• 3:38
  Speaker 9: and in fact they're ignoring the elephant.
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: In the room.
• 3:41
  Speaker 9: And the elephant in the room is the fact that
• 3:44
  Speaker 9: their energy plan has created this whole mess. The cost
• 3:49
  Speaker 9: of living can be greatly attributed to it, and the
• 3:52
  Speaker 9: cost to manufacturing, to industry.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: To jobs.
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: It's all back to the energy.
• 3:57
  Speaker 9: And the point is that unless Dutton and the Libs
• 4:02
  Speaker 9: grasp this and don't get sidebarred by all these little
• 4:06
  Speaker 9: facile arguments. You know, at the moment, Charmers is paying
• 4:10
  Speaker 9: violin politics, is justifying decades of deficits with oh, you know,
• 4:16
  Speaker 9: it's social you know justice. What's her saying, we're ignoring
• 4:20
  Speaker 9: our responsibility if we don't pay these you know this what.
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: Bribery to people.
• 4:27
  Speaker 9: So I think that we have to really focus on
• 4:29
  Speaker 9: what's going on and energy is the real issue about
• 4:34
  Speaker 9: costs of living, and Dutton's got to get real about
• 4:38
  Speaker 9: and be brave about saying net zero is a joke
• 4:42
  Speaker 9: and we need to put our money into gas and
• 4:45
  Speaker 9: you know coal of course and COMMTA.
• 4:48
  Speaker 8: I think I think the public will forgive the Coalition
• 4:50
  Speaker 8: for opposing these tax cuts if like Prue says, Duntet
• 4:53
  Speaker 8: comes out with something bold that makes these tax cuts
• 4:55
  Speaker 8: looks absolutely ridiculous. So I think that's the key.
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: That's the thing.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: You have to come up with some alternative plan. You
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: can't just say we're not labor elect us. You have
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: to actually give us something to back and walking away
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: from net zero, walking away from Paris is a game changer.
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: But are they going to be brave enough to even
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: go down that road?
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: Now?
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: For some early lefties losing it? Content courtesy of Tasmanian
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: Senator Jackie Lamby, who gave us this extraordinary performance on
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: morning television. Here she is with Shadow Finance Minister Jane
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: Hume on the Sunrise program this morning, becoming a tad emotional.
• 5:35
  Speaker 10: You took a lot of my mates out over that
• 5:37
  Speaker 10: nine years, and you spent twenty billion dollars of tax
• 5:40
  Speaker 10: payers money to consultancy firms. Are we going back to
• 5:44
  Speaker 10: those days, Jane? Because veterans want to know that this morning.
• 5:48
  Speaker 10: Are you going back and moving those public service to
• 5:50
  Speaker 10: are finally finding their seat over such complex medical issues?
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: Are you going to cut the guts?
• 5:56
  Speaker 10: Are going to contract.
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: That out again?
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: Yes, Jane, None of us near precisely what she was
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: talking about, but there was more, more historyonics more hyperbole.
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: As Jackie Lamby defended Labour's budget.
• 6:10
  Speaker 10: Jackie, no, dear, because you don't have a plan of attack, Jane.
• 6:15
  Speaker 10: All I've heard out of you with this budget is negative, negative, negative,
• 6:18
  Speaker 10: But you have no answers. What is the coal issue
• 6:21
  Speaker 10: to the state of Seriously, what is.
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: In your budget paper?
• 6:25
  Speaker 10: Apart from you spending three hundred and sixty billion dollars
• 6:30
  Speaker 10: on nuclear power plant that is completely going to blow
• 6:33
  Speaker 10: out of proportion. So let's be conservative and say that's
• 6:35
  Speaker 10: going to cost five hundred billion and that is the
• 6:38
  Speaker 10: best plan of attack, the only you come out with.
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: Jane Hume, once again, I.
• 6:43
  Speaker 10: Want to get back to those public servants because I
• 6:45
  Speaker 10: want to know how many public servants you are going
• 6:46
  Speaker 10: to get rid of in Tasmania, Because most of those
• 6:48
  Speaker 10: public servants, Darling, are not sitting here in Canberra, They're
• 6:51
  Speaker 10: not sitting there. How many are you taking from Tasmania today?
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: Wowy, yeah, proof, What can you say about that?
• 6:58
  Speaker 9: Well, she's sounding more more unhinged. Look, no one doubts
• 7:02
  Speaker 9: her passion and concern about veterans, and many of us
• 7:05
  Speaker 9: support that but I don't know if she partied a
• 7:08
  Speaker 9: bit hard after the budget or you know what has happened.
• 7:11
  Speaker 9: Maybe she's feeling the pressure of you know, politics. But really,
• 7:16
  Speaker 9: I mean, she didn't even give the Dutton a chance
• 7:20
  Speaker 9: to respond. We know, we all think that Dutton should
• 7:22
  Speaker 9: have been announcing policies earlier. But to go on as
• 7:26
  Speaker 9: she did, she just sounded really like a mad woman.
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: All of us, whatever side of politics you're on, can
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: feel a little bit of sympathy for Jane Hume heres
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: in this clip she looks up to the sky and
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: praise for Heaven to help her.
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: Heaven help us, you know what it is, And that's
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: really rude.
• 7:45
  Speaker 7: Joane.
• 7:45
  Speaker 10: And those independents, those toils standing are actually really performs
• 7:48
  Speaker 10: if they're bon in, so give them a goally one
• 7:50
  Speaker 10: woman to another that was not polite. Yes they have
• 7:54
  Speaker 10: so I haven't looked at their you know that you
• 7:56
  Speaker 10: people don't like them, okay, so you know there's just
• 8:00
  Speaker 10: no need for that they perform really well, let's be honest.
• 8:03
  Speaker 10: You just don't want them in there.
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: That's really frightening.
• 8:06
  Speaker 10: There is you know what, there is a place for
• 8:07
  Speaker 10: every ordinary Australian in this Parliament.
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: Wow, Now she is passionately defending the tills and it's
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: frightening if if they're being criticized Tina, I'm having trouble
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: figuring out where she's coming from.
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: Jackie Lamby, she seems to.
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: Be a label attack dog these days.
• 8:28
  Speaker 8: Yeah, she's certainly, she certainly is. I mean to say
• 8:32
  Speaker 8: the Teals, well, they've done very well in supporting labor,
• 8:36
  Speaker 8: that's one aspect that's performed very well in and the
• 8:39
  Speaker 8: Green Parliament and the Greeds exactly, So I think we
• 8:42
  Speaker 8: need to constantly point that out.
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: There are so they are so far.
• 8:45
  Speaker 8: From independent minded politicians at ridiculous.
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: Look, I feel a bit sorry for Jackie.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: I do think.
• 8:51
  Speaker 8: Look, she takes her politics very seriously. She's a very
• 8:54
  Speaker 8: passionate and popular in Tasmania. But I think she has.
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: To chill a little.
• 9:00
  Speaker 8: Look at the voting records and you know, look at
• 9:03
  Speaker 8: both sides and see he's going to do the best
• 9:05
  Speaker 8: for Tasmania in the coming election.
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: And I think we have to think about our entire
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: democracy sometimes when we see clips like that, what did
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: Paul Keating call the Senate unrepresentative swill and Tasmanians, I
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: don't know, consider your vote a little bit more carefully
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: next time around. Now former Victorian Premier Dan Andrews is
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: facing even more bands and boycosts. This time he's been
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: banned from a whole town Bunderlong located on the Murraying Country, Victoria.
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: He was reportedly booted from the bunderalong Tavern and the
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: local tradees of black listed him as well, but a
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: spokesman for Dad Andrews has said that the premier never
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: even visited the pub, so there's a little bit of
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: confusion about what's happened there. This comes after Dan Andrews
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: was banned from the trendy South Melbourne pub Mro's, and
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: he's also faced a golf club band down on the
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: Mornington Peninsula, with members objecting to his potential membership at
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: Portsea Golf Club. Tina, are you surprised that Australians have
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: not forgiven and forgotten what happened during the COVID era?
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: But it seems to be just Dan.
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: I'm not hearing these sort of stories about Anastasia Palichet
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: or Mark McGowan.
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: It still just be Dan Andrews is copying it well.
• 10:31
  Speaker 8: Dan went the extra mile of Victoria must admit, But
• 10:34
  Speaker 8: what confuses me why didn't they do this when he
• 10:37
  Speaker 8: was in government. Why didn't they push back, ban him,
• 10:40
  Speaker 8: vote him out. I mean, it's all very good to
• 10:42
  Speaker 8: do after the fact, where there are no consequences for him.
• 10:45
  Speaker 8: He still gets his pension, he still gets everything entitled
• 10:48
  Speaker 8: to him. They should have done this when he was
• 10:50
  Speaker 8: in power and really sent a strong message that these
• 10:53
  Speaker 8: actions should never happen again.
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: Well, I think those actions were sadly hugely popular at
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: the time.
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: As they were around the country.
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: There was a few of us speaking out, but we
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: were certainly sadly in the minority back then.
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: But it's good to.
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: Be on the right side of history because I think
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: that all those positions have been vindicated. Primcsween Tina McQueen,
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: it's always always a pleasure.
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: Thanks for your time tonight.
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: Joining me now is a best selling author. Douglas Murray's
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: latest book on democracies and death Cults, Israel and the
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: Future of Civilization will be released in April. You don't
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: want to miss that, Douglas. Let's start with the state
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: of the Democrats in the US. While much of the
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: media is preoccupied with twenty four to seven anti Trump hysteria.
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: The polling is showing Trump voters are pretty happy at
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: the moment, but the Democrats are in peril. Their approval
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: ratings are at record lows twenty seven percent. It's a
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: grim state of affairs with Democrats facing historic discontent with
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: their base, and as you can see in the graph,
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: the net approval figure for the Republicans and Democrats paints
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: and undeniable picture of a party in crisis.
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: Douglas, is this just a case of.
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: Bitter ideologues reacting to a big election loss and having
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: a bit of a tantrum or? Is there a deeper
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: issue here because we are seeing the most radical voices
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: now seemingly taking over the party.
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: Yes, that's right.
• 12:32
  Speaker 5: I mean it's inevitable, isn't it that after an election
• 12:34
  Speaker 5: wipeout like the one that the Democrats suffered last November?
• 12:39
  Speaker 5: It's inevitable that there is going to be a period
• 12:42
  Speaker 5: of reflection, if not silence from them as they try
• 12:45
  Speaker 5: to work out what to do. That's the case with
• 12:48
  Speaker 5: any party that suffered such a blistering defeat. The interesting
• 12:52
  Speaker 5: thing with the Democrats, you say that they seem to
• 12:55
  Speaker 5: be leaderless, that's really because they are. I mean, it
• 13:01
  Speaker 5: can't be stressed in the American system. I mean there
• 13:03
  Speaker 5: is you know, Kamala Harris and what's his name, Oh yeah, Waltz.
• 13:08
  Speaker 5: We you know what happened, and they drifted away after
• 13:12
  Speaker 5: the election something that they got, and it's not like
• 13:14
  Speaker 5: any of the Democratic Party wants to hear very much
• 13:18
  Speaker 5: from either of them after having led them to that defeat.
• 13:23
  Speaker 5: And then the rest of the party. You've got a
• 13:26
  Speaker 5: minority leader Santa Schumer, who has been castigated by his
• 13:34
  Speaker 5: party for making a budget deal with the Republicans. Nancy Pelosi,
• 13:41
  Speaker 5: the stripling of eighty four has criticized Chuck Schumer, and
• 13:47
  Speaker 5: Chuck Schumer has in fact canceled the book or he
• 13:50
  Speaker 5: was going to go on in becoming days because of
• 13:55
  Speaker 5: threats to him, not from Republicans but from fellow Democrats.
• 13:59
  Speaker 5: And so that's sort of the top of the party.
• 14:04
  Speaker 5: You go to the layers underneath that, and unfortunately, you see,
• 14:07
  Speaker 5: unfortunately for the Democrats, you see just this case after
• 14:11
  Speaker 5: case of somebody whose career is in cinders. Governor Gavin
• 14:17
  Speaker 5: Newsom is trying podcasting, and that's because much of the
• 14:23
  Speaker 5: district he was meant to keep an eye on burnt
• 14:25
  Speaker 5: to the ground a few months ago, and he didn't
• 14:29
  Speaker 5: do very much to stop that, and so it's hard
• 14:33
  Speaker 5: to see how a little bit of podcasting could make
• 14:35
  Speaker 5: up for that. And it's the same all the way
• 14:38
  Speaker 5: down the party. There are people like Don Lemon, the
• 14:43
  Speaker 5: former CNN anko I mentioned in the New York Post,
• 14:46
  Speaker 5: who claimed that the future of the party is the
• 14:50
  Speaker 5: radical left wing of the party. But in fact, the
• 14:53
  Speaker 5: only future of a party that those people are the
• 14:56
  Speaker 5: future of is they are a future for the Republican Party,
• 15:00
  Speaker 5: because if the Democratic Party decided to take in the
• 15:03
  Speaker 5: worst excesses of the Squad and others, then it's hard
• 15:08
  Speaker 5: to see how the Republicans don't just continue winning for
• 15:13
  Speaker 5: the foreseeable future.
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: Well, I did very much enjoy that peace in the
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: New York Post, very droll, indeed. But it does beg
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: the question who is the next leader? You mentioned Gavin Newsom,
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: he's trying to position himself as somewhat of a moderate centrist,
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: a point of difference from the aocs and Bernie Sanders.
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: What about Tim Walls? Apparently he has presidential ambitions.
• 15:43
  Speaker 5: Well, where to even start with Tim Walls? He has
• 15:48
  Speaker 5: cropped back up in recent days, first of all to
• 15:54
  Speaker 5: boast about his masculinity and to talk about what a
• 15:57
  Speaker 5: threat he believes that he, the man known as Tampon
• 16:02
  Speaker 5: Tin Tampon Tin, how much of a threat he was
• 16:07
  Speaker 5: to the Republicans because of his masculinity. Odd sort of
• 16:10
  Speaker 5: thing to be boasting about and roaring about, but there
• 16:13
  Speaker 5: it is. That's Tim Woltz. And then he cropped back
• 16:16
  Speaker 5: up in front of some sycophants on stage and talked
• 16:21
  Speaker 5: about how he gets happy each day by he downloaded
• 16:25
  Speaker 5: the share app that apparently you can have to monitor
• 16:29
  Speaker 5: your shares. That's real man of the people's stuff right there.
• 16:33
  Speaker 5: And Tim Waltster says he's added the Tesla shares to
• 16:37
  Speaker 5: that and was celebrating Tesla's shares going down. Tim Waltz
• 16:43
  Speaker 5: should look at where his shares politically are right now,
• 16:48
  Speaker 5: and he'd see that they're close to bankruptcy. It's a
• 16:53
  Speaker 5: really pathetic spectacle to see him doing that. The thing
• 16:57
  Speaker 5: that they most need to do of Democrats is they
• 17:01
  Speaker 5: need to actually come up with some policies and some
• 17:03
  Speaker 5: ideas that differentiate them from the Republicans. They spent years
• 17:08
  Speaker 5: doing Republicans of Fascists it's the end of the republic.
• 17:14
  Speaker 5: Democracy dies in darkness. If you vote in Trump, he's
• 17:18
  Speaker 5: Hitler and it's all over. And it didn't work. It
• 17:23
  Speaker 5: was clearly a total political play, but it also just
• 17:27
  Speaker 5: didn't work. It turned out that the voters didn't believe them,
• 17:31
  Speaker 5: and rightly so. But what do you do in the
• 17:34
  Speaker 5: aftermath of that. They seem to be trying a little
• 17:38
  Speaker 5: bit of stuff out, but they're going to have to
• 17:39
  Speaker 5: put an awful lot more meat on the bone if
• 17:42
  Speaker 5: they're going to look like a really reasonable, respectable party
• 17:47
  Speaker 5: of opposition. And all parties need opposition, all governments need opposition.
• 17:52
  Speaker 5: But apart from a bit of hollering about taxing the rich,
• 17:54
  Speaker 5: there's very little there that the Democrats have to say.
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: That there are signs of the left love of violence
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: apparent again. It's really never been far away with sword,
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: with the BLM riots, the violent anti Israel protests on
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: university campuses, and the latest project seems to be attacking
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: Tesla cars, Tesla dealerships. Due to their hatred of Elon
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: Musk and Douglas. I've got to say those who should
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: know better continue to rationalize what some are calling domestic terrorism.
• 18:29
  Speaker 11: Someone throw a molotov cocktail at a Tesla service center.
• 18:32
  Speaker 11: At least five Teslas blew up. When you pull out
• 18:35
  Speaker 11: a chainsaw to celebrate firing, thousands of people forget mad. Interesting,
• 18:40
  Speaker 11: you know, Let's send these techno fascist rouler garchs and
• 18:43
  Speaker 11: old fashioned Nazis a message loud and clear.
• 18:46
  Speaker 12: The vandalism really shows the outright anger and reads that
• 18:51
  Speaker 12: people are feeling about what Elon Musk is doing.
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: Douglas, they almost hate Elon Musk more than they hate
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: Donald Trump these days. This derangement because it's not just
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: a disagreement and they want to see him destroyed.
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: They do.
• 19:09
  Speaker 5: It's it's a rather strange turn for people from a
• 19:14
  Speaker 5: political wing that talks about how much they love the
• 19:17
  Speaker 5: environment so much and how they want to take the
• 19:19
  Speaker 5: environment to be setting light to anything and burning it
• 19:23
  Speaker 5: down and setting light two cars run on renewable energy.
• 19:27
  Speaker 5: That's that's that's a really great way to say, I
• 19:30
  Speaker 5: heart the environment, isn't it? But yes, I mean this,
• 19:34
  Speaker 5: any political side can do this. But it's extremely dangerous stuff.
• 19:38
  Speaker 5: When you start to say.
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: Like that, well, you know, if you.
• 19:42
  Speaker 5: If you cut federal spending, you know, you can't expect
• 19:46
  Speaker 5: people not to buy a bomb things. I mean, I mean, really,
• 19:50
  Speaker 5: we're going, why why this desire to legitimize totally pointless
• 19:58
  Speaker 5: destructiveolitical violence. I can only assume that some of these
• 20:03
  Speaker 5: people are people who are very bored as well as
• 20:07
  Speaker 5: very unpleasant. Indeed, they want a great cause. They spent years,
• 20:13
  Speaker 5: as I said earlier, saying that Donald Trump was hitler.
• 20:17
  Speaker 5: Now they've decided, in fact, Elion Musk is hitler, which
• 20:20
  Speaker 5: means you've got to burn the cars or something, or
• 20:26
  Speaker 5: flip the finger to people driving a certain type of car. Again,
• 20:32
  Speaker 5: nothing shows moderation and be kind better than just swearing
• 20:39
  Speaker 5: at your neighbors because they've got a car whose company
• 20:46
  Speaker 5: is founded by a man whose political views you disagree with.
• 20:49
  Speaker 5: I mean, it's astonishing, but again, this is deadly. This
• 20:53
  Speaker 5: is crypped tonight for the Democrat Party and for people
• 20:57
  Speaker 5: like that guy who you show at the beginning of
• 21:00
  Speaker 5: that clip. He's meant to be, by the way, a
• 21:03
  Speaker 5: late night comedian. I don't know about you, but I mean,
• 21:06
  Speaker 5: nothing he said or says is remotely funny. He's just
• 21:10
  Speaker 5: one of these weird new clerics for Pere on American
• 21:13
  Speaker 5: television who were hired as comedians and then come out
• 21:17
  Speaker 5: and give a boring lecture and excuse violence and think
• 21:21
  Speaker 5: that that will get them the big laughs and we'll see,
• 21:26
  Speaker 5: and that's one of the reasons why people are turning
• 21:27
  Speaker 5: off those programs. But it's quite sickening to see that,
• 21:30
  Speaker 5: because if the Republicans did that and said, wow, you
• 21:32
  Speaker 5: can only push people so far before they start executing you,
• 21:36
  Speaker 5: I think we'd all think that was a bit run
• 21:40
  Speaker 5: I think we would.
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: I think that we would all right on January sixth,
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: and they were bleeding about it for five years.
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: So if.
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: The violence from their side, they seem to rationalize very easily.
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: And you're right about those late night comics. There's a
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: reason why their ratings are in the toilet is because
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: there's very few laughs. There's just lectures, and Greg Guttfeld
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: is the big beneficiary there.
• 22:04
  Speaker 13: Now.
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: Talking about celebrities, we've seen a number of them threatened
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: to leave the US if.
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: Trump won, and one of them, I've got to give
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: her credit she followed through with it. Rosio O'Donnell is
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: now an resident of Ireland and she started spreading election
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: denial there.
• 22:20
  Speaker 12: I question why the first time in American history a
• 22:24
  Speaker 12: president has won every swing state and is also best
• 22:28
  Speaker 12: friends and his largest donor was a man who owns
• 22:32
  Speaker 12: and runs the Internet, So I would hope that that
• 22:35
  Speaker 12: would be investigated. Kamala Harris was filling up stadiums with
• 22:39
  Speaker 12: people who supported her, and Donald Trump was not able
• 22:42
  Speaker 12: to do that.
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: There you go, Douglas.
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: Elon apparently owns and runs the internet now and Kamala
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: was hugely popular, So we need an investigation.
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: Yes, that's right.
• 22:54
  Speaker 5: And one of the ways you can tell that Elon
• 22:56
  Speaker 5: Musk runs all of the Internet is that there are
• 22:59
  Speaker 5: never any negative pieces or a negative comment about Elon
• 23:03
  Speaker 5: Musk on the Internet. As ever, Rosio o'donald is as
• 23:06
  Speaker 5: sharp tacked as she ever was. I remember this is
• 23:11
  Speaker 5: another comedian. By the way, remember Rosi o' donald. She's hilarious,
• 23:14
  Speaker 5: isn't she. I mean you can just feel your face
• 23:17
  Speaker 5: cracking up with the humor whenever Rosie appears, and a
• 23:21
  Speaker 5: pines on the world. As for Donald Trump not filling
• 23:26
  Speaker 5: up stadiums, I mean, that's just bizarre, because of course,
• 23:32
  Speaker 5: I mean I've been to Trump rallies. He very much
• 23:36
  Speaker 5: fills up stadiums, very much, filled up Madison Square Garden
• 23:40
  Speaker 5: in New York and countless other places across the country.
• 23:43
  Speaker 5: Here's one of the problems, of course, for the Democrats. Again,
• 23:48
  Speaker 5: they can be pulled leftward by these now self exiled
• 23:53
  Speaker 5: comedians like Rosio o'donald, who, by the way, probably is
• 23:57
  Speaker 5: having a kind of breakdown because Donald Trump was very
• 24:01
  Speaker 5: largely elected in twenty sixteen, very largely won the Republican
• 24:05
  Speaker 5: nomination to run for president because of his line about
• 24:08
  Speaker 5: Rosy o'donald, which just got huge laughs and was hugely
• 24:11
  Speaker 5: appreciated by people across the country. But Rosy o'donald and co.
• 24:16
  Speaker 5: If they're going to do this stuff, what it really
• 24:20
  Speaker 5: is is a demonstration of denial. What the Democrats and
• 24:23
  Speaker 5: others should face up to is that Donald Trump was
• 24:28
  Speaker 5: and is extremely popular. He won the popular vote because
• 24:32
  Speaker 5: he's popular. He filled up stadiums because he's popular. Sure,
• 24:37
  Speaker 5: Kamala Harris could fill the Odd Hall. No one is
• 24:39
  Speaker 5: disputing that. But if you've just lost an election to somebody,
• 24:43
  Speaker 5: you don't pretend, or you shouldn't pretend that that person
• 24:47
  Speaker 5: has no popularity behind him. What you should do is
• 24:50
  Speaker 5: work out why he's got it. See what you can
• 24:53
  Speaker 5: do to adapt to the world that you're in, and
• 24:57
  Speaker 5: see what you can learn, see if there are policies
• 25:00
  Speaker 5: that you might learn from, instead of claiming that he's
• 25:05
  Speaker 5: faked his way to it, actually adapt and learn. And
• 25:08
  Speaker 5: so yes, I'm not sure, Rosian. No one is going
• 25:11
  Speaker 5: to be able to teach the Democrats very much from
• 25:14
  Speaker 5: her escape in Ireland. And by the way, the way
• 25:16
  Speaker 5: that Ireland's going at the moment, it's perfectly possible at
• 25:20
  Speaker 5: Rosier Donald will have to move back to the States
• 25:22
  Speaker 5: at some point soon. But that's another story.
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: Well, she is in a very inchulent little echo chamber
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: because in that interview it appeared that she doesn't actually
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: know any Trump voters. So even though more than half
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: the country half of voters voted for Trump, she doesn't
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: seem to know a single one. So that's rosy for you.
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: Before you go, just quickly. You wrote a superb piece
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: for The Spectator about the latest attacks against Western civilization.
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: And here we've got Britain's being expected to be ashamed
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: of their history, ashamed of things that should be enormously
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: proud of, like Shakespeare. Even Shakespeare's birthplace is supposed to
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: be we should be decolonized, Douglas, because it could be
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: used to promote white supremacy.
• 26:06
  Speaker 5: Yes, this is the latest report by a dim wit,
• 26:11
  Speaker 5: second rate academic at a third rate university who weirdly
• 26:15
  Speaker 5: cooperating with the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust. And you would have
• 26:19
  Speaker 5: thought the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust would like to celebrate Shakespeare's birthplace,
• 26:23
  Speaker 5: but oh no, no, no, no, not in this era.
• 26:26
  Speaker 5: So this second rate academic cooperated with the Shakespeare Birthplace
• 26:29
  Speaker 5: Trust and she has come to conclusion that Shakespeare's racist
• 26:34
  Speaker 5: and colonialist, or maybe even caused the colonial era himself unclear.
• 26:39
  Speaker 5: And also the Stratford upon Avon is a notorious meeting
• 26:42
  Speaker 5: place of white supremacists. And it's always struck me Rito
• 26:46
  Speaker 5: as I'm sure it has you that whatever remaining skinheads
• 26:51
  Speaker 5: there might be, they're forever gathering at places of poetry
• 26:57
  Speaker 5: like Stratford upon Avon and reading Sonnets. It's one of
• 27:00
  Speaker 5: the things I think you can it's one of the
• 27:01
  Speaker 5: ways you spot them, those guys. It's so preposterous. And
• 27:06
  Speaker 5: by the way, the important thing about this is that,
• 27:09
  Speaker 5: as I said in that piece and Spectator, it points
• 27:12
  Speaker 5: to this central issue that we are being told in
• 27:15
  Speaker 5: our countries, in America, in Britain, in Australia, in all
• 27:19
  Speaker 5: the western countries, we are being told all the time
• 27:22
  Speaker 5: to be ashamed of our inheritance. And there's no reason
• 27:26
  Speaker 5: to be ashamed of our inheritance. But what's weird about
• 27:29
  Speaker 5: it is that we are being told it all the time,
• 27:32
  Speaker 5: and it's always a one way street, this business with
• 27:37
  Speaker 5: Shakespeare's birthplace. They've decided that one of the things is
• 27:41
  Speaker 5: there's too much Shakespeare at Shakespeare's birthplace, and they've decided,
• 27:45
  Speaker 5: among other things, to introduce more of a celebrated Bengali
• 27:51
  Speaker 5: poet called Tagre. Now, if I went to de Gory's
• 27:55
  Speaker 5: birthplace in Bengal and said, guys, you need more Shakespeare here,
• 28:02
  Speaker 5: it's really not on that you haven't got another poet
• 28:05
  Speaker 5: that you're celebrating at the birthplace of this poet, I
• 28:08
  Speaker 5: think people would think it was rather audacious.
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: Well guess what.
• 28:11
  Speaker 5: We in England, We in Britain also think it's rather audacious.
• 28:15
  Speaker 5: It's rude and to use a term, it's rather colonizing.
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: Indeed, Douglas Murray, thank you so much for your time tonight.
• 28:25
  Speaker 5: Pleasure as always.
• 28:27
  Speaker 3: Still to come.
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: Lefties Losing It plus the latest from the us, including
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: George Clooney, labeled a liar and coward for his part
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: in hiding Joe Biden's cognitive decline.
• 28:38
  Speaker 3: But here unga sagone is.
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: Up next.
• 28:50
  Speaker 3: Welcome back.
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: It's time for lefties losing it and another Hollywood actress
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: has decided to show us how daft and out of
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: touch she is. Here is Star of Grays and to me,
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: Ellen Pompeio just being comically clueless.
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: I don't know it all. At the same time, it's
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: not a good combo.
• 29:07
  Speaker 13: I think we all need a lot more empathy right now,
• 29:10
  Speaker 13: and so I hope we take that away. I mean,
• 29:14
  Speaker 13: why are old white men the only ones who are
• 29:17
  Speaker 13: allowed to be felons? Good?
• 29:22
  Speaker 3: No one else can.
• 29:23
  Speaker 7: Stay in this country if they're a felon.
• 29:25
  Speaker 3: But somehow if you're and he's not even that word.
• 29:28
  Speaker 3: Just a profound point. How proud was she of what
• 29:31
  Speaker 3: you just said? Really?
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: But you can't expect someone who is this demon out
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: of touch to understand why Americans want illegal immigrants, particularly gangbangers,
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: out of the country.
• 29:43
  Speaker 14: Watch this, Your twenty million dollar salary was publicly shared
• 29:48
  Speaker 14: to the world.
• 29:50
  Speaker 3: How did you feel when that came out?
• 29:52
  Speaker 7: Well, my manager at the time said something to me
• 29:55
  Speaker 7: that literally hit me like a brick. He said, or
• 29:58
  Speaker 7: how are you ready to be unpopular? I was like,
• 30:02
  Speaker 7: what do you what do you mean? And he was like, well,
• 30:04
  Speaker 7: I just don't want you to think that everyone's going
• 30:06
  Speaker 7: to go in and cheer for you and clap for
• 30:07
  Speaker 7: you and bow to you and think you're the dopest
• 30:09
  Speaker 7: thing ever, because there's going to be a lot of
• 30:11
  Speaker 7: people who are not happy for you. And that had
• 30:14
  Speaker 7: never occurred to me.
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: What it had never occurred to her that people might
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: be critical, maybe unhappy that some second right actress is
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: earning twenty million dollars. Let's check in now with some
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: leftist protesters. So are asked about the job status. Q
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: much hysterics and victim playing.
• 30:32
  Speaker 12: I got to ask you, it's the middle of the
• 30:33
  Speaker 12: day on Wednesday.
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: Do you have a job?
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: I do?
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: I do Wednesdays.
• 30:38
  Speaker 15: I have some flexibility and you know during the day,
• 30:41
  Speaker 15: I'm able to.
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: Go do stuff.
• 30:42
  Speaker 3: I gotta get stuff, I gotta get Do we leave
• 30:45
  Speaker 3: our job tomorrow?
• 30:46
  Speaker 16: What is not more precious than husband children? That no salary,
• 30:51
  Speaker 16: no slave wage, is enough to stop me from actually
• 30:57
  Speaker 16: raising my point.
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: Now, let's have some watching Dylan Mulvainy run in heels.
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: Here he is mocking womanhood again. He's notched up more
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: than a thousand days of mocking womanhood.
• 31:08
  Speaker 3: And he now has a billboard in Times Square.
• 31:11
  Speaker 4: Oh my god, it's d one thy ninety six being
• 31:14
  Speaker 4: a girl. It's your three And that's me on a
• 31:16
  Speaker 4: billboard in Times Square at the three Bees, a book,
• 31:19
  Speaker 4: a bath bomb, and a billboard. Oh wow, Now I
• 31:23
  Speaker 4: think we should hand out some paper doll books some
• 31:25
  Speaker 4: of these people out in Times Square.
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: Let's go.
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: Now, don't go accusing the Democrats of being in a cult.
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: Not like they'd be mindless.
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: Sheep, regurgitating the same phrase over and over again. The
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: latest talking point is all about this moment.
• 31:43
  Speaker 3: The strength that we have is in this moment.
• 31:45
  Speaker 8: Listen to your constituents, center them in this moment.
• 31:50
  Speaker 4: But I can tell you that there are a lot
• 31:52
  Speaker 4: of people that are watching his leadership in this moment.
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: This is the moment.
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: No I think about what's happening, you know in this moment.
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: What's important is that we meet this moment.
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: So are these current Democrats the ones to meet the moment?
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: What do you want to see us doing?
• 32:09
  Speaker 17: Right?
• 32:10
  Speaker 15: Now, in this moment, and which Democrats are actually going
• 32:13
  Speaker 15: to stand up against Elon Musk and Donald Trump in
• 32:18
  Speaker 15: this moment.
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: You know, in this moment, the Democrats' arguments against deportations,
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: against stopping illegal immigration amount to just one thing, their
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: love of cheap foreign labor.
• 32:29
  Speaker 3: This blue haired Texan is part of the problem.
• 32:32
  Speaker 18: Who's going to build the Texas detention camps?
• 32:36
  Speaker 5: Who's going to build them?
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: I'll wait.
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: And to another pitifully cheap and nasty attack from new
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: Democrat favorite Jasmine Crockett. Here, the privately educated congresswoman walks
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: Texas Governor Greg Abbott, who is disabled and in a wheelchair,
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: calling him governor hot whales.
• 32:59
  Speaker 3: As we in these hot ass Texas streets. Honey, y'all
• 33:05
  Speaker 3: know we got governor high.
• 33:06
  Speaker 14: Wheels down there, Come on now, and the only thing
• 33:11
  Speaker 14: hot about him is that he is a hot.
• 33:13
  Speaker 3: Ass mess honey.
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: So so yes, yes, yes, yes, Oh classy work there
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: from the Democrat congressman. Let's bring in journalists and author
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: Batia Unga Sagon.
• 33:27
  Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, what can you say about that? How
• 33:30
  Speaker 3: low can they go?
• 33:33
  Speaker 14: It's just so utterly appalling, And I honestly had to
• 33:39
  Speaker 14: listen to the clip a few times because the idea
• 33:43
  Speaker 14: that a member of Congress would be mocking the disability
• 33:49
  Speaker 14: of a man who had a horrific accident at twenty
• 33:52
  Speaker 14: six and then spent the rest of his life in
• 33:55
  Speaker 14: public service to this nation and never let his stability
• 34:00
  Speaker 14: hold him back from serving the people who he loves.
• 34:05
  Speaker 14: It's so shocking to me. And the fact that that
• 34:10
  Speaker 14: audience laughed. I don't know if your audience could hear that, Rita,
• 34:14
  Speaker 14: but the audience at this human rights campaign event just
• 34:20
  Speaker 14: burst out laughing at this mockery of a disabled person.
• 34:28
  Speaker 14: You have to see it to believe it. And I
• 34:30
  Speaker 14: think it really reveals that the Democrats truly check their
• 34:35
  Speaker 14: morals at the door when it comes to anybody who
• 34:39
  Speaker 14: disagrees with them politically, they owe them not even the
• 34:43
  Speaker 14: most basic common decency. Truly a sad low moment.
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: Now sixty Minutes did a fluff face on George Cloudy
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: and they asked about the role they act A played
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: in pressuring Joe Biden to step down. He gave a
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: rather self delighted, self serving answer.
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: Happy, you did it.
• 35:07
  Speaker 19: Yeah, I'll make it kind of easy. I was raised
• 35:10
  Speaker 19: to tell the truth. I had seen the President up
• 35:14
  Speaker 19: close for this fundraiser, and I was surprised, And so
• 35:19
  Speaker 19: I feel as if there was a lot of profiles
• 35:22
  Speaker 19: in cowardice in my party through all of that, and
• 35:26
  Speaker 19: I was not proud of that, and I also believed
• 35:29
  Speaker 19: I had to tell the truth.
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: But George Clooney, you must think we're all suffering from
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: Biden's cognitive decline. But yeah, because I remember, and I'm
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: sure you do the timeline.
• 35:42
  Speaker 3: So far from bravely cooling out.
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: The obvious, George Clooney in fact did a massive, star
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: stunded fundraiser for Joe Biden. You'll remember that it featured,
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: among others, Jack Black.
• 35:54
  Speaker 15: A few days ago, my manager called me and said,
• 35:57
  Speaker 15: George Clooney and Julia Roberts wanted me to help the
• 36:00
  Speaker 15: president and speak here tonight, And I said, I am
• 36:03
  Speaker 15: in When and where?
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: That was the event where President Biden frozen had to
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: be assisted off the stage by Barack Obama, and then
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: the White House lied to all of us saying that
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: the videos of this were all right wing disinformation that
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: we shouldn't be believing our lying eyes. That happened then
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: around two weeks later was the infamous Biden debate disaster,
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: where he just gave the most incoherent performance yet. And
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: it was some two weeks after that, when Biden was
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: steadfastly refusing to step down that we got that George
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: Clooney op ed so this suggestion that he saw Joe
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: Biden up close and decided I've.
• 36:50
  Speaker 3: Got to be a brave warrior here and take a stand.
• 36:54
  Speaker 3: Come on, who is he kidding?
• 36:57
  Speaker 14: It's so funny, Red, because you're exactly right about the timeline.
• 37:00
  Speaker 14: What we just saw was George Clooney acting, lying, pretending
• 37:08
  Speaker 14: that he is some sort of, you know, this beacon
• 37:11
  Speaker 14: of moral courage, when he is the opposite. He is
• 37:14
  Speaker 14: the biggest coward because, as you point out, he saw
• 37:19
  Speaker 14: the decline, but when he had privileged information that he
• 37:25
  Speaker 14: was granted due to the fact that he's a gazillionaire
• 37:28
  Speaker 14: celebrity who has access to the Obamas and to Biden.
• 37:32
  Speaker 14: When he had access to that information about Biden's decline
• 37:35
  Speaker 14: that we the American people didn't have because we're not gazillionaires,
• 37:40
  Speaker 14: he kept it to himself and he was willing to
• 37:43
  Speaker 14: keep that money rolling and to get that person who
• 37:46
  Speaker 14: he thought was senile into the oval office. Again, so
• 37:50
  Speaker 14: long as none of the American people knew that the
• 37:54
  Speaker 14: president was senile. It's so horrifying. And he only spoke
• 37:58
  Speaker 14: up when the American people had a front row seat
• 38:01
  Speaker 14: to the problem themselves at that debate, and his corruption
• 38:05
  Speaker 14: clooney and Obama's corruption at hiding the sinility of the
• 38:09
  Speaker 14: president was revealed to everybody. That's when he wrote the
• 38:14
  Speaker 14: op ed, which, by the way, many people think Obama
• 38:17
  Speaker 14: pushed him to write because Obama was too much of
• 38:19
  Speaker 14: a coward to put his name on it. So these
• 38:21
  Speaker 14: people are the biggest cowards. They are millionaires who have
• 38:26
  Speaker 14: access to power in an unbelievable way, wealth and power,
• 38:30
  Speaker 14: and they were gatekeeping information that the American people desperately
• 38:34
  Speaker 14: needed so long as they thought they could get away
• 38:37
  Speaker 14: with putting a puppet president back in the Oval office. Truly,
• 38:43
  Speaker 14: cowardice and corruption rolled into.
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: One absolutely, And you know what, he probably would have
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: had plenty of access before that star started fundraiser where
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: it was obvious to everyone that Biden was in no
• 38:58
  Speaker 2: shape to be president.
• 39:00
  Speaker 3: And they all kept starting. Not only did they say nothing.
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: But they attacked those of us who pointed out the
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: obvious that there was obviously something wrong with the president.
• 39:11
  Speaker 2: We were accused of disinformation and right wing conspiracies and
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: altering videos when it was all there. Now you've done
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: incredible work. You've written extensively about the political realignments that
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: we've seen in the US. You understand them better than most,
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: and that has included an exodus from big blue states
• 39:34
  Speaker 2: like California and New York to the big red states
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: like Texas and Florida. And finally, now Democrats like Bill
• 39:41
  Speaker 2: Maher are understanding what those trends mean and they're worried
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: about it.
• 39:47
  Speaker 17: California is projected to lose three seats, New York two
• 39:51
  Speaker 17: also going to lose a seat. Minnesota, Oregon, Rhode Island,
• 39:54
  Speaker 17: Illinois or blue states. Who's getting these Texas, Florida, Adaho,
• 39:59
  Speaker 17: and Utah. I mean, this looks like game over.
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: That's fascinating implications for that. How do you say those
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: trends impacting America's political future.
• 40:13
  Speaker 14: It's funny because when you talk to Republicans who live
• 40:16
  Speaker 14: in those states, they're like, don't come, don't bring your
• 40:19
  Speaker 14: stupid liberal ideas here.
• 40:22
  Speaker 3: So they're a little bit worried about it.
• 40:24
  Speaker 14: I think, but I think this reflects a larger trend
• 40:27
  Speaker 14: in America, which is every single state in the last
• 40:30
  Speaker 14: election moved to the right, even liberal states. So you
• 40:33
  Speaker 14: have people moving out of liberal states to conservative states,
• 40:36
  Speaker 14: literally moving to the right, and then you have just
• 40:38
  Speaker 14: that movement within those states. And in addition to the
• 40:42
  Speaker 14: sort of political realignment we've seen along class lines to
• 40:45
  Speaker 14: where the Democrats are now the party of the rich
• 40:48
  Speaker 14: and the Republicans are the party of the working class.
• 40:50
  Speaker 14: You've seen a realignment of like the cool factor. So
• 40:54
  Speaker 14: it used to be the Democrats were the party of
• 40:56
  Speaker 14: young people, of cool, of hip of everything that was
• 40:59
  Speaker 14: sort of cutting in, and the Republicans with the sort
• 41:01
  Speaker 14: of old fuddy dudies, you know, and now it's the
• 41:05
  Speaker 14: exact opposite. Young people overwhelmingly voted for Donald Trump, especially
• 41:09
  Speaker 14: young men, and the GOP feels edgy, it feels cutting edge,
• 41:14
  Speaker 14: and it feels like the party where cool things are
• 41:16
  Speaker 14: happening and where young people want to be identified. And meanwhile,
• 41:20
  Speaker 14: the Democratic Party is the party of kind of cringe
• 41:23
  Speaker 14: and old people and wealth and the establishment and this
• 41:28
  Speaker 14: kind of staid attachment to failing ideas and failing cities. So,
• 41:33
  Speaker 14: you know, the cultural realignment I think is just as
• 41:35
  Speaker 14: significant as the political and the class realignment.
• 41:42
  Speaker 3: Oh absolutely.
• 41:42
  Speaker 2: I mean the Democrats have just become the party of victimhood,
• 41:47
  Speaker 2: of miserable women and wakemen, and it's like you're O,
• 41:53
  Speaker 2: it's not a cool group to be a part of.
• 41:56
  Speaker 2: Who would have thought twenty thirty years ago that it
• 41:59
  Speaker 2: would be the right side of politics that would be
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: championing free speech and free expression.
• 42:05
  Speaker 3: No one saw that coming. And an end to wars
• 42:08
  Speaker 3: when you've got.
• 42:08
  Speaker 2: The Democrats wanting to fund these forever wars.
• 42:12
  Speaker 3: But yeah, it's always a pleasure. Thank you so much
• 42:14
  Speaker 3: for your time tonight.
• 42:16
  Speaker 14: Thank you so much, Prida, God bless you.
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: Always.
• 42:18
  Speaker 14: Wonderful being here with you and your audience.
• 42:20
  Speaker 3: Still to come.
• 42:21
  Speaker 2: The popular Australian comic has declared all vegans are idiots.
• 42:26
  Speaker 3: Is here to explain himself. Welcome back now.
• 42:38
  Speaker 2: My next guest has declared that all vegans are idiots.
• 42:42
  Speaker 2: His comic and author Isaac Butterfield, currently performing at the
• 42:46
  Speaker 2: Comics Lounge in Melbourne for the next few nights before
• 42:49
  Speaker 2: heading to Queensland. He'll be in Queensland and New South
• 42:51
  Speaker 2: Wales in maye June. Get your tickets early. Here's popular Isaac.
• 42:56
  Speaker 2: Welcome back to the program. Let's start with.
• 42:59
  Speaker 3: Your deep disdain for vegans.
• 43:02
  Speaker 2: I don't understand this. I mean, what have they ever
• 43:04
  Speaker 2: done to you? They're just they're malnourished. To begin with,
• 43:07
  Speaker 2: you should have some sympathy.
• 43:09
  Speaker 6: Well, they are the worst people on earth. Read I
• 43:12
  Speaker 6: don't know if you know that. It's it's well documented.
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: But I tell you what. I see these people around.
• 43:18
  Speaker 6: I see them on trams and public transport, particularly here
• 43:21
  Speaker 6: in Melbourne.
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: It's just you can really you.
• 43:23
  Speaker 3: Have a disproportionate number in Melbourne, don't we.
• 43:25
  Speaker 6: There is a lot of them, and they are They're
• 43:28
  Speaker 6: bad people.
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: They're bad people.
• 43:30
  Speaker 2: Why do you say that, because, let me play Devil's advocate,
• 43:34
  Speaker 2: they'll say, we're making a sacrifice for the good of others,
• 43:37
  Speaker 2: for the good of the planet, perhaps for the good
• 43:40
  Speaker 2: of animals. So why you say they're the worst people, Well.
• 43:44
  Speaker 6: They're very hypocritical. In fact, if you just look at
• 43:47
  Speaker 6: things like crop deaths. When you come to crop deaths,
• 43:50
  Speaker 6: I'm telling you right now, because of you, they only
• 43:53
  Speaker 6: eat veggies. They are responsible for far more animal souls
• 43:57
  Speaker 6: drifting into the afterlife than it's happened to be Now
• 44:00
  Speaker 6: you can say that, hey, a lot of those crop
• 44:02
  Speaker 6: deaths are related to the feed for animals that we
• 44:05
  Speaker 6: may eat. But in reality, I don't really have too
• 44:08
  Speaker 6: much of a worry about mice and things like that
• 44:11
  Speaker 6: when they happen to So I think.
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: These guys are just they're just.
• 44:16
  Speaker 6: Vitamin B twelve has a lot to do with the
• 44:19
  Speaker 6: brain and how the brain develops and how the brain operates,
• 44:22
  Speaker 6: and these guys just happen to be lacking in all
• 44:24
  Speaker 6: of those fields.
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: And it's quite sad.
• 44:26
  Speaker 2: You know, you can get B twelve supplements. You just
• 44:29
  Speaker 2: get the injections over the counter at the chemist.
• 44:31
  Speaker 3: I do that.
• 44:32
  Speaker 2: So I'm not giving health advice here, but perhaps that
• 44:34
  Speaker 2: would help.
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: It sounds like you are.
• 44:36
  Speaker 6: It sounds like you're arguing with me, and I don't
• 44:38
  Speaker 6: appreciate that.
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: Rder. I think we need to go harder at the vegans,
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: and I think we should.
• 44:42
  Speaker 3: How can you sport them?
• 44:43
  Speaker 11: Say?
• 44:43
  Speaker 2: You see them around, but they're not advertising their veganism,
• 44:47
  Speaker 2: are they?
• 44:47
  Speaker 3: How can you tell?
• 44:48
  Speaker 6: Usually they look at me with utter disdain and hatred
• 44:53
  Speaker 6: and vitriol.
• 44:54
  Speaker 3: Because you're a white male.
• 44:56
  Speaker 6: Because the four thousand videos I've made about them on
• 44:59
  Speaker 6: the internet something I am the vegan enemy number one.
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: Don't worry about.
• 45:03
  Speaker 3: That, well, you were.
• 45:05
  Speaker 2: Your following is astonishing. I'm just going to tell the
• 45:08
  Speaker 2: audience a little bit about how many followers subscribers you have.
• 45:13
  Speaker 2: You are very one of the very first comics in
• 45:15
  Speaker 2: Australia to really tap into this big demand for content
• 45:20
  Speaker 2: that is unapologetically male masculine, that speaks to young men
• 45:26
  Speaker 2: in particular, and your following shows that you've got more
• 45:30
  Speaker 2: than two point two million subscribers on YouTube alone, And
• 45:34
  Speaker 2: to give the audience a comparison, that's more than Channel
• 45:37
  Speaker 2: nine has. It's more than Channel ten, channel seven. You've
• 45:40
  Speaker 2: got some ways to go to catch Sky News Australia.
• 45:42
  Speaker 3: I've got more than five million.
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: But see you guys going off every week.
• 45:47
  Speaker 2: But why do you think there is such a great
• 45:50
  Speaker 2: demand for the content that you create?
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: Well, I just.
• 45:53
  Speaker 6: Think that a lot of young dudes, dudes who are
• 45:55
  Speaker 6: getting into their twenties even and even older guys, they
• 45:59
  Speaker 6: just have a certain way of their humor is a
• 46:03
  Speaker 6: little bit different to what perhaps a lot of people
• 46:06
  Speaker 6: in the wider community are fed, and particularly with the
• 46:10
  Speaker 6: mainstream way that's distributed, whether it be TV.
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: Or right now the Melbourne Comedy Festival.
• 46:15
  Speaker 6: I see a lot of comedians around that I've seen
• 46:18
  Speaker 6: live and I don't particularly enjoy their here. And that's
• 46:20
  Speaker 6: not to say they're not great and wonderful for some people,
• 46:23
  Speaker 6: but for me, who and I enjoy really hard hitting,
• 46:27
  Speaker 6: a horrible humor if you will, that's just not going
• 46:31
  Speaker 6: to crack it. And I think that's where people like
• 46:33
  Speaker 6: me come in.
• 46:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 46:34
  Speaker 2: Absolutely, you just get onto the content that the other
• 46:38
  Speaker 2: comics I think want to do, but they're just too
• 46:41
  Speaker 2: afraid of being canceled, coppying, some sort.
• 46:43
  Speaker 3: Of a backlash. And I'm just going to play you
• 46:46
  Speaker 3: a little clip.
• 46:47
  Speaker 2: It's political for a second, because Labour's also keen to
• 46:50
  Speaker 2: tap into that social media market that youngsters consume. They're
• 46:54
  Speaker 2: putting out all these videos leading up to the election.
• 46:57
  Speaker 2: One of the most prolific is the Housing Minister Claire Neil.
• 47:00
  Speaker 2: Let's look at this video about avocado toast and housing.
• 47:04
  Speaker 18: Despite all the conservative media says, this is not the
• 47:08
  Speaker 18: reason that you can't afford a house in Australia. This
• 47:11
  Speaker 18: is the reason for more than a generation, Australian governments
• 47:14
  Speaker 18: have sat back and done very little about a housing
• 47:16
  Speaker 18: crisis that was building and building. Well, that'll change when
• 47:19
  Speaker 18: the Albanezy government was elected in twenty twenty two. We're
• 47:22
  Speaker 18: trying to build one point two million homes.
• 47:24
  Speaker 2: First of all, I don't know why I was included
• 47:26
  Speaker 2: in that little graphic she popped up, because I've never
• 47:29
  Speaker 2: said anything about avocados and housing. So Claire, get your
• 47:32
  Speaker 2: stuff together. But I'm critical of these ads. I think
• 47:35
  Speaker 2: they're cringe lame. They don't do anything. But you're actually
• 47:40
  Speaker 2: in that demographic that she's trying to reach.
• 47:44
  Speaker 3: Is that effective? Is labor doing social media?
• 47:48
  Speaker 6: Well, well, there's a lot of young people that may
• 47:50
  Speaker 6: never own a home and that's a real shame for them.
• 47:54
  Speaker 6: It's quite a before stand up and before the Internet
• 47:58
  Speaker 6: came along and I became a big and a celebrity
• 48:00
  Speaker 6: and an amazing human being, the prospect of me owning
• 48:03
  Speaker 6: a home was very slim and I was lucky enough
• 48:05
  Speaker 6: to get to that point where I was able to
• 48:07
  Speaker 6: do that several in fact, and.
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: Now I'm a much better person.
• 48:10
  Speaker 6: But it is, it is really scary for a lot
• 48:13
  Speaker 6: of young people out there, and I think with the
• 48:14
  Speaker 6: election coming out, this is going to be a massive issue.
• 48:17
  Speaker 6: At play for younger people, and I do worry that
• 48:21
  Speaker 6: they look at both parties and they go, who's going
• 48:23
  Speaker 6: to help us? Where are we going to get this
• 48:25
  Speaker 6: outrageous cash from that we seem to need to be
• 48:28
  Speaker 6: able to buy a home.
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: So it's tough out there for young folks.
• 48:31
  Speaker 6: But I mean, even when it comes to things like
• 48:33
  Speaker 6: the avocado toast, breakfasts are.
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: Going up, all right, and that's it's rough out there.
• 48:39
  Speaker 3: I'm luddy, I'm a young thirty bucks.
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: You are kids meals? It's outrageous.
• 48:44
  Speaker 6: Can you believe what they charge for kids meals?
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: R It just goes on the floor.
• 48:48
  Speaker 3: Back in my day, kids eight for free. That's the
• 48:51
  Speaker 3: way it should be.
• 48:51
  Speaker 2: Beautiful, Isaac waterfeel thank you so much for your time.
• 48:54
  Speaker 3: And that's all the time we have. I'll see you
• 48:57
  Speaker 3: at eleven tomorrow. Up next is news.
• 48:59
  Speaker 16: I
