Speaker 3: Good evening, Anne, Welcome to the Riata Panehy Show. Coming
0:11
Speaker 3: up tonight.
0:11
Speaker 4: Australia set to lose as businesses look to shift investment
0:15
Speaker 4: to the US, with President Trump promising to cut red
0:18
Speaker 4: tape and the corporate tax rate. I'll speak to prumcsqueen
0:22
Speaker 4: about that shortly. President Elect Donald Trump joins Elon Musk
0:26
Speaker 4: to watch the latest rocket launch of SpaceX as his
0:31
Speaker 4: transition team names more cabinet selections. Army Horowitz with the
0:35
Speaker 4: latest from the US. Also joining me tonight, Diane D. D.

0:42
Speaker 3: And you didn't think I was going to forget left
0:45
Speaker 3: He's losing it. Tonight it stars the Washington Posts. Jennifer Ruben.
0:50
Speaker 3: How about this, Republicans want to kill your kids?
0:54
Speaker 5: It's actually true.
0:56
Speaker 4: But first, Donald Trump's new Department of Government Efficiency, to
0:59
Speaker 4: be headed by Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswami, has inspired
1:03
Speaker 4: proposals for our own cost cutting agency in Australia.
1:07
Speaker 3: Amid fresh figures showing.
1:09
Speaker 4: That bureaucracies have become way too blow to taxpayers are
1:14
Speaker 4: forking out over two hundred and thirty two billion dollars
1:18
Speaker 4: every year to pay for over two and a half
1:20
Speaker 4: million public sector employees with generous pay rises and hiring spree.
1:26
Speaker 4: Seeing the public service spending a record amount of twenty
1:30
Speaker 4: seven point three percent of Australia's GDP, we've now got
1:35
Speaker 4: one in five workers in Australia employed by the government.
1:39
Speaker 4: Joining me now for more on this. The Sky News
1:42
Speaker 4: contributor pro McSween through these figures don't look sustainable. One
1:48
Speaker 4: in five workers is now funded by the taxpayer.
1:52
Speaker 6: Well, we know that charmers in Albanisi are buying, you know,
1:58
Speaker 6: opportunities to overcome their economic woes, their mismanagement. This spending
2:04
Speaker 6: on this incredibly inflated public service, not just federally but
2:10
Speaker 6: in every state, is really keeping inflation high. And you
2:16
Speaker 6: can be lied to by charmers is trying to sugarcoat
2:19
Speaker 6: it and say, look inflation, we're in charge.
2:23
Speaker 5: We've got it secured. We all know that this is wrong.
2:27
Speaker 6: We can see it every day in our household hold.
2:30
Speaker 6: We don't need him to be lying to us, and
2:33
Speaker 6: we don't buy it. And the fact that they're spending
2:36
Speaker 6: so much money to try and get themselves out of
2:38
Speaker 6: this economic malaise that we're in. Is just showing what's
2:43
Speaker 6: wrong with this country, you know, and I think that
2:45
Speaker 6: people are.
2:46
Speaker 5: Waking up to them.
2:47
Speaker 6: They can say all they like, Well, our lived experience
2:50
Speaker 6: is that this government is capable of running this economy
2:55
Speaker 6: and we have to show that we don't buy it
2:58
Speaker 6: anymore at the next election.
3:01
Speaker 3: Well, we've just seen that. In the US election.
3:04
Speaker 4: We kept hearing from the bureaucrats, the politicians, and certainly
3:08
Speaker 4: the left wing media how great the US economy was.
3:12
Speaker 4: But that's not how Americans felt. They were struggling to
3:15
Speaker 4: make ends meet, and they voted accordingly.
3:19
Speaker 3: John Ruddick of the.
3:20
Speaker 4: Libertarian Party in New South Wales is proposing a state
3:23
Speaker 4: level Department of Government Efficiency.
3:26
Speaker 3: Here's what he had to say yesterday.
3:28
Speaker 1: I give notice that on the next sitting day, I
3:30
Speaker 1: will move one that this Chamber calls on the New
3:33
Speaker 1: South Wales government to learn from the example being set
3:36
Speaker 1: by the incoming Trump administration in the United States and
3:40
Speaker 1: introduced a Department of Government Efficiency known as DOZE, to
3:45
Speaker 1: slash the size of bureaucracy and reduce government waste.
3:48
Speaker 3: True, what do you think about that?
3:51
Speaker 5: I couldn't agree more with him.
3:53
Speaker 6: Good on him for suggesting it. Of course it will
3:55
Speaker 6: never happen. The words government and efficiency just don't go
3:59
Speaker 6: to get We have all these layers of government with
4:03
Speaker 6: federal state and these little deputies that are running around
4:07
Speaker 6: in councils, and they're spending our money that is wasted
4:13
Speaker 6: so many times over bureau there's so much administration that
4:18
Speaker 6: they're falling over each other, they're doubling up. We know
4:22
Speaker 6: that there's so much wastage that's occurring because life is
4:26
Speaker 6: so confusing now and so convoluted because of all the
4:31
Speaker 6: demands the regulations that they put on us. And we
4:35
Speaker 6: can see that there's no effect to what's going on.
4:37
Speaker 6: The bureaucrats don't want anything to know about it, because
4:40
Speaker 6: of course it's against they'll all be out of jobs.
4:43
Speaker 5: But it's really the most ineffecient way to run a country.
4:47
Speaker 6: And we've got to find someone a politician brave enough.
4:51
Speaker 6: Looks like John Roddick's on the right path, But the
4:55
Speaker 6: trouble is no one's going to support him other than
4:57
Speaker 6: probably the punters.
5:01
Speaker 4: Well, yeah, we are definitely over regulated. All those new
5:04
Speaker 4: bureaucat crats have to do something the bureaucracy has absolutely
5:08
Speaker 4: exploded and the amount of red tape, green tape, black
5:12
Speaker 4: tape is now huge. If you want to do any
5:14
Speaker 4: sort of development in this country, if you want to
5:17
Speaker 4: invest money, employ people, you're going to run into some hurdles.
5:23
Speaker 4: I want to bring you some footage of Green Senator
5:27
Speaker 4: Marine Fruki. She has called for Australians to change their
5:32
Speaker 4: eating habits, not necessarily to improve their health, but to
5:37
Speaker 4: save the planet.
5:39
Speaker 7: In conclusion, we simply have to develop new laws to
5:41
Speaker 7: band fossil fuels and use more renewable sources of energy,
5:45
Speaker 7: as well as change our eating habits if we are
5:48
Speaker 7: to ensure a safe and sustainable environment for future generations.
5:53
Speaker 4: I don't feel like I need that sort of advice
5:55
Speaker 4: from Marine Fruke. What about you, Purum explain? Are you
5:58
Speaker 4: going to change your eating habits to help save the planet.
6:03
Speaker 5: Well?
6:04
Speaker 6: No, In a word, this woman would have to be
6:07
Speaker 6: as almost rivaling Lydia thought for the most unpopular politician
6:12
Speaker 6: in this country.
6:13
Speaker 5: And you know they say greens, what are they? They?
6:16
Speaker 5: Roots and leaves?
6:17
Speaker 6: Well, you know, I wish she'd leave us alone and
6:19
Speaker 6: get out of our dietary habits.
6:21
Speaker 5: The hypocrisy of these people is astounding.
6:25
Speaker 6: How dare they now dip into what we should be
6:28
Speaker 6: telling throwing down our throats.
6:31
Speaker 5: You know, she always oversteps the mark, as.
6:34
Speaker 6: Do a lot of these greenies, and I think that
6:37
Speaker 6: their credibility has been, you know, really rocked over the
6:40
Speaker 6: last few months, and let's hope it continues to be
6:43
Speaker 6: with sort of these ridiculous posits of theirs.
6:48
Speaker 4: Now, big business has worn that Australia will be left
6:52
Speaker 4: behind as Donald Trump's pro business policies accelerate growth in
6:57
Speaker 4: the US and attract investment there instead of in markets
7:02
Speaker 4: like Australia where there is a lot of red tape,
7:04
Speaker 4: a high cost, high inflation. While Australia's full company tax
7:09
Speaker 4: rate is thirty percent, Trump is going to lower that
7:14
Speaker 4: in the States to fifteen percent. At the moment, it's
7:18
Speaker 4: sitting at twenty one and that's for companies that are
7:22
Speaker 4: going to make their products in the US. So he
7:25
Speaker 4: wants to boost manufacturing in the US. And when he
7:29
Speaker 4: was president last time around, he cut the corporate tax
7:33
Speaker 4: rate in the States from thirty five to twenty one percent,
7:37
Speaker 4: So we know he's got a track record for doing
7:39
Speaker 4: this through McSween. I guess you can see why there's
7:44
Speaker 4: this warning that businesses are going to shift their investment
7:47
Speaker 4: to the US where energy costs are lower, labor costs
7:51
Speaker 4: are lower, and now they're going to have a significantly
7:55
Speaker 4: lower corporate tax rate.
7:57
Speaker 6: Well reata when you think about it, you'd have to
7:59
Speaker 6: have your head read to really start a business in
8:02
Speaker 6: this country. You know you're considered public enemy number one
8:06
Speaker 6: if you're a business that runs a profit. You're fighting
8:09
Speaker 6: against these ridiculous energy price hikes, which if Albanezy stays in,
8:16
Speaker 6: are going to get worse and worse and impact every
8:18
Speaker 6: business in this country. We've got the crazy I our laws,
8:22
Speaker 6: as you've pointed out, corporate taxes. I think we're the
8:25
Speaker 6: second highest in the world.
8:29
Speaker 5: Everywhere you look.
8:31
Speaker 6: There's an impediment to doing business in this country where
8:34
Speaker 6: we've got a brain drain. Now people are going overseas
8:38
Speaker 6: because they can't be they're not supported or recognized.
8:42
Speaker 5: They're taxed to the nth degree, So why would you
8:46
Speaker 5: run a business here.
8:47
Speaker 6: So it's the best thing that's probably happened that if
8:50
Speaker 6: Dutton gets in and he sees what Trump's doing, maybe
8:54
Speaker 6: it will fire government up to really try and stimulate
8:58
Speaker 6: this country, because otherwise we're just going to be left behind.
9:02
Speaker 5: We already are on the back foot and it's going
9:06
Speaker 5: to get so much worse.
9:09
Speaker 4: I think the left thing that can tax us to prosperity.
9:13
Speaker 4: Whilst someone like Donald Trump understands if you want businesses
9:17
Speaker 4: to thrive, if you want living standards to go up,
9:20
Speaker 4: you get out of their way. You let them do
9:22
Speaker 4: what they do best instead of regulating them to death.
9:27
Speaker 3: Before you go.
9:28
Speaker 4: AFL Commission chair Richard Goid has revealed he intends to
9:32
Speaker 4: stay on in the role until twenty twenty eight.
9:35
Speaker 3: I think he was expected that he was going to leave.
9:37
Speaker 4: This is the same Richard Goid who ticked off on
9:40
Speaker 4: every one of Alan Joyce's terrible decisions at Quantas that
9:44
Speaker 4: are still causing issues over there.
9:47
Speaker 3: Prue, is there any accountability at the AFL.
9:50
Speaker 5: Well, it doesn't appear to be.
9:52
Speaker 6: I mean, the bloke's got really thick skin, so he's
9:56
Speaker 6: on a good wicket. He's got all his first class
9:58
Speaker 6: flights guaranteed for you, and maybe he's wanting that gold
10:02
Speaker 6: parts for the AFL for as long as possible. But
10:05
Speaker 6: you know, mate, it's time to go. You know, give
10:08
Speaker 6: someone else a chance get that new generation in and
10:11
Speaker 6: you aren't that effective.
10:12
Speaker 4: Sadly, prefix Swain, thanks for your time tonight. Joining me
10:19
Speaker 4: now is broadcaster and journalist D D.
10:22
Speaker 3: Dunlevy. Did he Let's start.
10:24
Speaker 4: With the video footage of the birthday party of Sean
10:28
Speaker 4: Diddy Combs, one that he organized for Meek Mill back
10:32
Speaker 4: in twenty fourteen.
10:33
Speaker 3: This video has resurface with.
10:36
Speaker 4: The property manager of the location, the Parisian Palace in
10:40
Speaker 4: Las Vegas, claiming that there were broken bottles of alcohol,
10:44
Speaker 4: used condoms, blood on the bedding, powder, razor blades by
10:50
Speaker 4: the hundreds, lubricant on the dresses and marble floors, panties, bras,
10:56
Speaker 4: and even two iPhones in the bushes behind the bowling alley.
11:00
Speaker 3: And this man sounds like quite the party. Do you
11:02
Speaker 3: think we're going.
11:03
Speaker 4: To see footage of these parties, but particularly the freak
11:08
Speaker 4: out parties were all the grotesque goings on were happening.
11:13
Speaker 4: And given the fact that we're hearing he taped everything,
11:19
Speaker 4: He had video cameras with him at all times.
11:23
Speaker 8: Well, that's where I've got a question mark as to
11:24
Speaker 8: whether he filmed this or whether the property manager has
11:27
Speaker 8: bobbed up after this is ten.
11:29
Speaker 9: Years ago, this party.
11:30
Speaker 8: There's something concerning me a bit about this, and we
11:33
Speaker 8: get it by now we've heard that.
11:34
Speaker 9: Diddy has wild parties, but he's in jail.
11:37
Speaker 8: He's awaiting trial in May next year on some pretty
11:40
Speaker 8: serious charges.
11:42
Speaker 9: It could be beginning, etc.
11:43
Speaker 4: Could be in jail for the rest of his life
11:45
Speaker 4: if convicted exactly.
11:46
Speaker 8: So, while this is a salacious story, I'm concerned that
11:50
Speaker 8: the more of this sort of story that bobs up,
11:53
Speaker 8: it's playing into the hands of the defense. They're going
11:55
Speaker 8: to at some point be able to argue that he's
11:57
Speaker 8: not going to get a fair trial. But where will
11:59
Speaker 8: they get jury of people who haven't heard all of
12:01
Speaker 8: these claims. And I'm also just vaguely skeptical about this
12:05
Speaker 8: property manager who says that he found cocaine all over
12:09
Speaker 8: the house, but he thought it was icing sugar.
12:11
Speaker 4: Well, of course, when you see a wild party attended
12:14
Speaker 4: by rock stars, you assume icing sugar.
12:17
Speaker 9: Of course.
12:17
Speaker 8: And then he went around and collected it all and
12:19
Speaker 8: said he got about half a gram altogether.
12:22
Speaker 9: So his credibility is not high.
12:24
Speaker 4: Well, how do you feel about your name being b smirched?
12:27
Speaker 4: Because now we say, Diddy.
12:29
Speaker 3: You know it's you know, it's like my son and Hunter.
12:33
Speaker 4: When Hunter Biden's antiques became world famous, Hunter pane here
12:41
Speaker 4: had a moment to deal with that because it was
12:43
Speaker 4: the coolest name for many years, and now it's associated
12:47
Speaker 4: with Hunter Biden.
12:48
Speaker 9: Yep, I'll go da da instead of is Yep.
12:53
Speaker 4: Now, there's a lot of celebrities who are nervous, not
12:56
Speaker 4: just about Sean Diddy Combs's parties and lists being released,
13:01
Speaker 4: but also the high profile individuals, including a few billionaires
13:06
Speaker 4: who are on the Jeffrey Epstein list. Allegedly, Elon Musk
13:12
Speaker 4: was talking about this to Tucker Carlson just before the election.
13:16
Speaker 10: I'd like to see a matchup of those called the
13:20
Speaker 10: top hundred puppet masters in the fting client list. They've
13:23
Speaker 10: not tried to prosecute even one, not even the worst
13:26
Speaker 10: offender on the fting client list. They have not even
13:29
Speaker 10: tried to prosecute even one. That's insane.
13:32
Speaker 11: Because they have a lot of diabetic grandmothers who were
13:35
Speaker 11: outside the Capitol on January sixth, they're kind of occupied.
13:38
Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean they've put like one of five or
13:41
Speaker 10: six hundred January six protesters in prison, and not one
13:45
Speaker 10: person on the fting client list.
13:48
Speaker 9: Will that ever come out?
13:49
Speaker 10: Do you think? You know? I think part of why
13:54
Speaker 10: Kamala is getting so much support is that if Trump wins,
13:59
Speaker 10: that e FTEIN client list is going to become public. Yes,
14:03
Speaker 10: and some of those billionaires behind Kamala are terrified of
14:05
Speaker 10: that outcome.
14:06
Speaker 4: That's fascinating there from el on Mask saying that there's
14:10
Speaker 4: maybe a few billionaires we're donating to Kamala hoping that
14:16
Speaker 4: the status quo would remain, that Epstein list would remain secret.
14:22
Speaker 4: To me, it's incredible that nobody has been charged. This
14:26
Speaker 4: is how can you have a sex trafficker and there's
14:30
Speaker 4: nobody who's actually part taken in what he has done,
14:34
Speaker 4: who has been involved implicit in those horrible abuses.
14:39
Speaker 8: Are starting to look and I'm not saying it is,
14:43
Speaker 8: but it's starting to look a little bit like there
14:45
Speaker 8: is some sort of a conspiracy between some elements of
14:47
Speaker 8: the media who and you know yourself as well as
14:50
Speaker 8: I do, that the media hear about things that people
14:53
Speaker 8: are not publishing, things that they perhaps know.
14:55
Speaker 9: It's only a matter of time though, someone will break ranks.
14:58
Speaker 4: And I find so, and I think there is an expectation,
15:02
Speaker 4: as you heard there from Elon Musk, that with Trump's
15:06
Speaker 4: second term, there is going to be revelations a lot
15:10
Speaker 4: of people who perhaps have been held in high esteem
15:14
Speaker 4: in the business world, in the celebrity world are going
15:17
Speaker 4: to be named and shamed.
15:19
Speaker 3: Good see if that happens. Now, let's go to comedian
15:22
Speaker 3: Dave Coolier.
15:23
Speaker 4: He's had to come out and defend his friend in
15:25
Speaker 4: a former Full House co star John Stamos, after Stamos
15:30
Speaker 4: was hit with that branch of hate comments on Instagram
15:35
Speaker 4: for wearing a bold cap in solidarity with Coollier, who
15:39
Speaker 4: is battling cancer.
15:42
Speaker 3: It seems like some people are desperate to be offended
15:45
Speaker 3: on behalf of others.
15:46
Speaker 4: If the guy who's suffering from cancer isn't offended, then
15:50
Speaker 4: why should anybody else be? Sure, he could have shaved
15:53
Speaker 4: his head in solidarity, but it's such a good head
15:56
Speaker 4: of hair and he didn't want to shave it.
15:57
Speaker 8: Well, and most likely it's actually he's an actor, professional actors,
16:00
Speaker 8: probably in his contract that he cannot drastically change his looks,
16:04
Speaker 8: which is pretty standard for a lot of actors.
16:06
Speaker 9: I find this story really genuinely upsetting.
16:09
Speaker 8: I mean, he's a man who is literally in a
16:11
Speaker 8: fight for his life, Dave Coolier, and he's having to
16:15
Speaker 8: deal with this upset caused by these sad, pathetic, cruel
16:20
Speaker 8: people who are having a go because his mate turned
16:23
Speaker 8: up and didn't shave his head in order for whatever reason,
16:28
Speaker 8: I don't know what they wanted him.
16:29
Speaker 9: To do that for. He made Dad Coolia laugh.
16:32
Speaker 8: Dad Coolia has lost his mother, his sister, and his
16:35
Speaker 8: niece to cancer. This is the last thing he needs
16:38
Speaker 8: and get these people and making his life worse to
16:41
Speaker 8: make whatever point they're trying to make.
16:43
Speaker 4: Exactly of all the things to be outraged about and
16:46
Speaker 4: pick something else. Now, this is a man who's regularly outraged,
16:51
Speaker 4: but for good reason. I think actor Hugh Grant has
16:55
Speaker 4: given a rare insight into some of the regrets he
16:58
Speaker 4: has about being a farther that at a relatively older age.
17:03
Speaker 2: I had them much too old in life.
17:04
Speaker 10: You know.
17:04
Speaker 2: I started when I was fifty two.
17:06
Speaker 12: And now you know I first kid, you were fifty two?
17:09
Speaker 4: Wow?
17:10
Speaker 8: Yeah, I know.
17:11
Speaker 2: I'm sixty four, you know, and the youngest is six,
17:13
Speaker 2: and I need a long stint in a sanatorium or
17:18
Speaker 2: an abby.
17:19
Speaker 4: Did he He He's got five children, so he started late,
17:22
Speaker 4: but he kept having them, and he does seem like
17:25
Speaker 4: a bit of a disagreeable fellow. But I can't help
17:28
Speaker 4: but agree with him about this rant.
17:30
Speaker 2: I am one enormous pet peeve. That's all I do.
17:34
Speaker 2: I walk around the streets peeving. I don't like people
17:36
Speaker 2: walking slowly. I don't like people with backpacks. I don't
17:39
Speaker 2: like people with backpacks on their front. I don't like
17:42
Speaker 2: people with backpacks and water bottles. I don't like water bottles.
17:45
Speaker 2: What's the whole water bottle thing? Why do my children
17:47
Speaker 2: have to go to school with the water? They have
17:48
Speaker 2: to cart water across London? What's wrong with a drinking fountain?
17:51
Speaker 2: I mean, don't get me started. Or I don't like
17:53
Speaker 2: leaf blowers, roadworks with no people working on them. I'm
17:56
Speaker 2: pretty much Larry David.
17:58
Speaker 3: I'm with him.
17:59
Speaker 4: There's a lot of his said there that resonates with me.
18:01
Speaker 4: I don't know about you.
18:02
Speaker 8: Well, not so much what he said, but the fact
18:05
Speaker 8: that he's got five children who knew and it actually
18:07
Speaker 8: made me love Hugh Grant Moore because he's clearly protected
18:11
Speaker 8: those children from from the public eye, which I'm giving
18:13
Speaker 8: him a big tick for.
18:14
Speaker 4: And he resents them having to carry water all across town.
18:19
Speaker 4: He's exactly right. What's wrong with them drinking fountain? Why
18:22
Speaker 4: do we need to be and the water bottles are
18:24
Speaker 4: getting bigger and bigger.
18:25
Speaker 9: Yes, I'm a chronic water carrier.
18:27
Speaker 3: That one of those. That's why I don't resonate with you,
18:31
Speaker 3: did done Levy. I can't keep talking to you now
18:33
Speaker 3: that I know that. Oh, I'm just right, Yes, still
18:36
Speaker 3: to come.
18:37
Speaker 4: The left is losing it class President elect Donald Trump
18:41
Speaker 4: joins Elon Musk to watch SpaceX's latest rocket launch.
18:46
Speaker 3: Horowitz will be with me with the latest from the US.
18:58
Speaker 4: Welcome back now it's time for left is losing it
19:01
Speaker 4: and I can't get enough of the humiliation ritual MSNBC
19:05
Speaker 4: host Joe and Mikha subjecting themselves to proving to the
19:09
Speaker 4: dim witted audience that they are utterly unprincipled, unscrupulous. Let's
19:14
Speaker 4: have another look at the sort of things that were
19:17
Speaker 4: saying before the election and what they're saying now.
19:21
Speaker 11: And then he says that the news network that is
19:26
Speaker 11: most critical of him should be taken off the air.
19:29
Speaker 3: This is not a reach.
19:30
Speaker 11: I could go back and talk about Nazi Germany and
19:32
Speaker 11: I do it I do it without any concerns whatsoever.
19:35
Speaker 11: And if people can't start drawing the parallels, well you're
19:38
Speaker 11: just stupid, or you have your head in the sand,
19:41
Speaker 11: or you're one of them.
19:42
Speaker 3: You're one of them.
19:43
Speaker 4: Yes, that was before the election, but now they've met
19:47
Speaker 4: with Donald Trump at Mara Lago, a meeting they beg for, Yes,
19:51
Speaker 4: they beg to meet the man that they likened to Hitler.
19:55
Speaker 13: We would appreciate the opportunity to speak with the president
19:58
Speaker 13: liked himself. On Friday, we were given the opportunity to
20:03
Speaker 13: do just that. Joe and I went to Mara a
20:06
Speaker 13: Lago to meet personally with President like Trump.
20:10
Speaker 4: And it should surprise no one that the views Sunny
20:13
Speaker 4: Houstin had a big problem with Joe and Mika normalizing
20:17
Speaker 4: Donald Trump, you know, normalizing the guy who just won
20:21
Speaker 4: the election in a landslide.
20:23
Speaker 14: And I don't think you need to sit down for
20:25
Speaker 14: ninety minutes at Mara a Lago and kiss his ring
20:30
Speaker 14: to be able to speak truth and to be able
20:33
Speaker 14: to cover a story. So maybe they're not journalists in
20:36
Speaker 14: the true sense. Maybe they're saying that their opinion general journalists.
20:40
Speaker 14: But we have to remember that Trump is the guy
20:44
Speaker 14: who ushered in the era of fake news.
20:47
Speaker 4: Me wow here that Meker and Joe Scarborough. You two
20:51
Speaker 4: aren't real journalists. And Sonny Donald Trump did not usher in.
20:56
Speaker 3: The era of fake news.
20:57
Speaker 4: He was just the one to call out your lies
21:00
Speaker 4: and activism masquerading as journalism, like the fake news you
21:06
Speaker 4: spread about Matt Gates in recent days, which resulted in
21:10
Speaker 4: this apology earlier today.
21:12
Speaker 15: Sonny, you have illegal I do have illegal not thank
21:15
Speaker 15: you wippy. Matt Gates has long denied all allegations, calling
21:21
Speaker 15: the claims quote invented, and saying in a statement to
21:25
Speaker 15: ABC News that this false smear following a three year
21:28
Speaker 15: criminal investigation should be viewed with great skepticism. That dog
21:33
Speaker 15: investigation was closed with no charges being brought.
21:37
Speaker 4: I'm not sure how sincere that sow faced apology was
21:41
Speaker 4: from Sonny. Maybe Matt Gates should demand another one until
21:45
Speaker 4: she gets it right. And if you want to know
21:48
Speaker 4: why Matt Gates scares them so much, then have a
21:51
Speaker 4: look at this.
21:52
Speaker 3: Whether he's questioning the Secretary.
21:54
Speaker 4: Of Defense about his Doug predictions or berating fellow politicians
21:59
Speaker 4: for being owned by lobby, is Matt Gates is feelss.
22:03
Speaker 16: You guys told us that Russia couldn't lose. You told
22:06
Speaker 16: us that the Taliban couldn't immediately win. And so I
22:08
Speaker 16: guess I'm wondering what in the seven hundred and seventy
22:10
Speaker 16: three billion dollars that you're requesting today is going to
22:13
Speaker 16: help you make assessments that are accurate in the face
22:16
Speaker 16: of so many blown calls. I take no lecture on
22:24
Speaker 16: asking patriotic Americans to weigh in and contribute to this
22:28
Speaker 16: fight from those who would grovel and bend mee for
22:31
Speaker 16: the lobbyists and special interests who own our leadership, who
22:34
Speaker 16: have oh boo all you want, who have hollowed out
22:38
Speaker 16: this town and have borrowed against the future of our
22:40
Speaker 16: future generations. I'll be happy to fund my political operation
22:45
Speaker 16: through the work of hard working Americans ten and twenty
22:48
Speaker 16: and thirty dollars at a time, and you all keep
22:50
Speaker 16: showing up at the lobbyist fundraisers and see how that
22:52
Speaker 16: goes for you.
22:53
Speaker 4: Let's have some fun now with a couple of liftings
22:56
Speaker 4: losing it protesting Donald Trump, but just start on them
23:00
Speaker 4: to explain why they're protesting. That's where their bold, brave
23:04
Speaker 4: activism falls apart.
23:06
Speaker 16: How important are women's rights more important than yours? And mind?
23:10
Speaker 3: What rights do men have that women don't?
23:20
Speaker 10: I think I'm done here today.
23:21
Speaker 16: Guys, what rights do men have that women don't?
23:31
Speaker 9: Gross?
23:32
Speaker 4: Doesn't that sum up the modern anti Trump left? Just angry,
23:36
Speaker 4: ill informed attention seekers And it's not new. Not only
23:40
Speaker 4: are these anti Trump weirdos anger and full of bio,
23:43
Speaker 4: they are also massive hypocrites. They will even abuse the
23:47
Speaker 4: minorities they pretend to care about if those minorities think
23:51
Speaker 4: for themselves and vote accordingly. Remember this charming woman. Here's
23:56
Speaker 4: a little throwback to a white lifty woman losing it
24:00
Speaker 4: at Latino voters because they backing Donald Trump.
24:04
Speaker 17: These are voters who are either illiterate, they can't read.
24:08
Speaker 3: They're voting for an like Trump. That's why I'm here,
24:13
Speaker 3: isn't it?
24:13
Speaker 9: There?
24:14
Speaker 5: Isn't it.
24:14
Speaker 3: They're right to vote who they want for two and
24:16
Speaker 3: it's my right to tell them.
24:18
Speaker 17: They're idiots and they're illiterate, they can't read, they can't assess.
24:24
Speaker 17: All they do is watch box news, but that's their
24:27
Speaker 17: whole experience. And know that they hate Cuba and Castro.
24:32
Speaker 17: It's ridiculous.
24:33
Speaker 3: Do you support Cuba?
24:36
Speaker 5: Yes?
24:36
Speaker 14: I do?
24:37
Speaker 3: The communist.
24:38
Speaker 5: Yes I do.
24:39
Speaker 4: I'm a socialist, and Republicans should pray that their political
24:43
Speaker 4: opponents remain as dumb and rational as the likes of
24:47
Speaker 4: the Washington Posts Jennifer Ruben Here, she advises the Democrats
24:51
Speaker 4: to double down on that hate and hysteria to win.
24:55
Speaker 3: And you have to be pithy. What do I mean
24:58
Speaker 3: by pithy? How about this? Republicans want to kill your kids?
25:03
Speaker 5: It's actually true.
25:05
Speaker 6: If you're going to oppose vaccinations, if you're going to
25:08
Speaker 6: stop break through medical research.
25:11
Speaker 3: There you go.
25:12
Speaker 4: Republicans want to kill your kids. A winning strategy there
25:17
Speaker 4: for the Democrats. Let's hope they listen to her.
25:19
Speaker 3: Can you believe what has become of the once respected
25:23
Speaker 3: Washington Post?
25:25
Speaker 4: Plenty more lefties losing it With my next guest, documentary
25:29
Speaker 4: filmmaker and commentator Army Horoid's Army.
25:33
Speaker 3: President elect Donald Trump.
25:35
Speaker 4: Watched on as Elon Musk's SpaceX conducted another successful launch
25:40
Speaker 4: of its starship Rocket. I'm going to say you look
25:56
Speaker 4: like a proud father there. And President Trump also came
26:00
Speaker 4: a student for a few minutes, as Elon Musk explained
26:04
Speaker 4: balls about to happen.
26:05
Speaker 10: It's politically trying to use its entire body as a range,
26:08
Speaker 10: and then it's using these flats just can pull this
26:10
Speaker 10: possession trying to cheat you roughly a sentent, you can
26:13
Speaker 10: be angled.
26:14
Speaker 4: The ass ah MEI I've got to side. It looks
26:17
Speaker 4: like America is back.
26:21
Speaker 18: Yeah, you know, of course you have the entire left
26:23
Speaker 18: outrage that Elon Musk would be involved in any way,
26:26
Speaker 18: shape or form with the government. I mean, why would
26:29
Speaker 18: you want one of the most talented human beings on
26:31
Speaker 18: earth trying to help us move this country forward. Look,
26:35
Speaker 18: Elon Musk didn't build three businesses. He built three industries. Okay, uh,
26:42
Speaker 18: this is the guy that's being demonized because they hate
26:45
Speaker 18: where they hate. They hit prime enterprise. They want the
26:48
Speaker 18: government not to be streamlined. They want the government bigger,
26:52
Speaker 18: They want more people the government doles, not less people.
26:55
Speaker 18: And they see Elon Musk as a danger to that principle. Look,
26:59
Speaker 18: I'll tell you what. Weake me up when Elon Musk
27:02
Speaker 18: fails at a single thing, and then let's maybe have
27:05
Speaker 18: a conversation.
27:08
Speaker 4: Well they did he still love him When he was
27:10
Speaker 4: the champion of the electric cars, When he was leading
27:15
Speaker 4: that industry, he was seen as a bit of a hero,
27:18
Speaker 4: and he was a Democrat who donated to the Democrats.
27:21
Speaker 4: As soon as he got red peels and he saw
27:24
Speaker 4: just what the left had turned into, that's when they
27:27
Speaker 4: turned against him. So it just shows you it doesn't
27:29
Speaker 4: matter what you do, how successful you are, if you
27:33
Speaker 4: deviate from that world, that will come after you.
27:38
Speaker 3: I want to ask you about Trump's promise.
27:41
Speaker 4: To start mass deportations on day one of his administration.
27:47
Speaker 3: What can we expect to see from that?
27:50
Speaker 18: Yeah, I don't really have to prognosticate or guess, because
27:53
Speaker 18: he's already done it right. I mean, he started a
27:55
Speaker 18: legal immigration into this country because he had remain in Mexico.
28:00
Speaker 18: He made a silent loss tougher, he built the wall,
28:03
Speaker 18: he deported people. We can all see this going forward. Look,
28:06
Speaker 18: he is going to use executive power on day one, which,
28:10
Speaker 18: by the way, the executive power that Biden simply said
28:13
Speaker 18: he couldn't find except for use it for every other
28:16
Speaker 18: purpose under the sun other than immigration.
28:19
Speaker 9: The key is going to.
28:20
Speaker 18: Be crafting this in a way that will A get
28:24
Speaker 18: through the courts and b survive the next administration. Now,
28:27
Speaker 18: how does he get through the courts. He has a
28:29
Speaker 18: much easier playing field because he's elected two hundred federal
28:34
Speaker 18: judges his first time around, and also has a Supreme Court.
28:37
Speaker 18: Let's obviously tilted toward him now when it comes to
28:39
Speaker 18: making sure because remember, executive order can be overturned by
28:43
Speaker 18: the next administration. We've had, that's what we've had, this
28:44
Speaker 18: problem of republican president, democratic president.
28:47
Speaker 9: All they thinks, ping, pogging.
28:48
Speaker 3: Back and forth.
28:49
Speaker 18: Look, it's now going to be easier for him to
28:53
Speaker 18: basically make it executive power proof by creating legislation through
28:58
Speaker 18: bills because now he can controls not on the executive
29:01
Speaker 18: branch obviously, but also the Senate in Congress that they
29:04
Speaker 18: can push through laws that will restrict immigration. Now, the
29:09
Speaker 18: problem is going to be really deportation because from a
29:12
Speaker 18: logistical perspective, first of all, because look, if he's able
29:16
Speaker 18: to deport a million people here, which is a huge number. Look,
29:20
Speaker 18: Obama was called the reporter in chief. He only deported
29:23
Speaker 18: half a millions, we'd be doubled that to a million.
29:26
Speaker 18: If you do that for four years, that's only a
29:29
Speaker 18: third of the twelve million illegals that came across the
29:32
Speaker 18: border under Joe Biden. So it's tough. And also he's
29:36
Speaker 18: going to be fighting against essentially a blue wall, if
29:39
Speaker 18: I may of governors and of mayors who are going
29:45
Speaker 18: to fight against deportation. Michelle Rule Boston, for example, came
29:49
Speaker 18: out publicly.
29:50
Speaker 3: JB.
29:50
Speaker 18: Pritzker came out publicly saying they're going to fight against it.
29:54
Speaker 18: He's going to have that problem. But the problem that
29:56
Speaker 18: the Democrats are having is this is the will of
29:58
Speaker 18: people they elected. He didn't look, he didn't hide, right,
30:03
Speaker 18: Trump did at hide what he wanted to do with immigration.
30:05
Speaker 18: The people elected him knowing that actually because of that,
30:09
Speaker 18: So good luck Democrats.
30:11
Speaker 9: Yep.
30:12
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's got a clear mandate.
30:14
Speaker 4: Like you said, he controls the House, the Senate, obviously,
30:17
Speaker 4: the presidency's got the popular vote, clear mandate, undeniable. The
30:23
Speaker 4: issue of election integrity is still there, though you would
30:27
Speaker 4: think with such a resounding victory it wouldn't be such
30:30
Speaker 4: an issue. But you've got a case in Pennsylvania, Democrat
30:35
Speaker 4: led case they were trying to count illegal mail in
30:38
Speaker 4: ballots that went all the way to the state's high court.
30:43
Speaker 4: They ruled that that wasn't going to happen. But why
30:46
Speaker 4: are they still even counting.
30:48
Speaker 3: Votes two weeks after the election.
30:51
Speaker 4: We have a state like Florida, which has got a
30:54
Speaker 4: significantly high population. They counted almost every single vote on
30:58
Speaker 4: election night, but now the parts of the country they're
31:02
Speaker 4: still counting.
31:05
Speaker 18: Yeah, Democrat Bob Casey refuses to concede here. They're a
31:10
Speaker 18: public right, Yeah. Do I smell some apocrisy here? Possibly, Rita.
31:13
Speaker 9: I don't know.
31:14
Speaker 18: The Democrats want to continue counting illegal ballots, but they
31:19
Speaker 18: are the protectors of democracy. I don't know hypocrisy anybody. Look, Yes,
31:24
Speaker 18: it's a massive problem the Democrats out on their hand.
31:28
Speaker 18: And also look, the other problem they have is that
31:32
Speaker 18: even people among John Fetterman, who I have said over
31:36
Speaker 18: and over again as a guy who I love, I
31:39
Speaker 18: have I promoted even though he's a Democrat, Joshapiro, who've
31:42
Speaker 18: named I don't know how many times on this show.
31:44
Speaker 18: They are Democrats of Pennsylvania who are fighting against this.
31:48
Speaker 18: Good for them for upholding American democracy. I'm just curious.
31:52
Speaker 3: Do you think Trump is.
31:54
Speaker 18: Actually going to use law fair to go after Bob
31:56
Speaker 18: Casey the Democrats? I don't think so.
32:00
Speaker 3: Well, maybe you should.
32:01
Speaker 4: Maybe that's the way you stop them behaving like this.
32:06
Speaker 4: There's certainly plenty in the Trump camp who do want
32:09
Speaker 4: to have a bit of a reckoning and see a
32:10
Speaker 4: few people pursued for their behavior.
32:15
Speaker 3: The View.
32:15
Speaker 4: We know, we love the View on this program. It
32:18
Speaker 4: gives us so much content. And one of the hosts
32:20
Speaker 4: of the View will be Goldberg seems to have got
32:23
Speaker 4: herself in a bit of hot water, but she's.
32:26
Speaker 3: Doubling down on her claims.
32:28
Speaker 4: A bakery, Holtzmann's Bakery in Staten Island, refused to take
32:33
Speaker 4: her order because of her political views. The bakery says
32:38
Speaker 4: they were experiencing mechanical issues.
32:40
Speaker 3: They've got a sixty year old boiler that.
32:42
Speaker 4: Was not working when Whoopee's request came through. But Whoopy
32:47
Speaker 4: is not accepting that, and she's had this to say.
32:51
Speaker 19: It does seem a little that when we call a
32:54
Speaker 19: few weeks before my birthday and we were told they
32:56
Speaker 19: couldn't process the order for my birthday because I'm an
33:00
Speaker 19: equipment failure.
33:02
Speaker 4: Now, Whoopi Goldberg first complained about this on The View
33:06
Speaker 4: on an episode during an episode that was celebrating her
33:11
Speaker 4: birthday his sixty ninth birthday, and there's now been so
33:15
Speaker 4: much criticism Army, not just from the customers of this bakery,
33:19
Speaker 4: but also from politicians and people in the legal fraternity
33:24
Speaker 4: encouraging the bakery to sue Whoopee saying that they've been
33:29
Speaker 4: defamed by this suggestion that they're not taking orders because
33:33
Speaker 4: of her political beliefs.
33:36
Speaker 16: Yeah.
33:36
Speaker 18: Look, I'm not a big fan of being over reltigious
33:40
Speaker 18: unless necessary. I will remind Whoopi Goldberg talking about bakeries
33:45
Speaker 18: that a bakery in Ohio sued Oberlin College and won
33:50
Speaker 18: thirty seven million dollars for defamation, saying the bakery was
33:53
Speaker 18: racist when they in fact were not so. I would say,
33:56
Speaker 18: be very careful, Whilpee when you talk about accusing big
34:01
Speaker 18: Look this tracks with woodby Goldberg. She bathed in victimhood.
34:05
Speaker 3: She wants to be a victim.
34:08
Speaker 18: She jumps at the chance of being a victim.
34:10
Speaker 9: This is an.
34:10
Speaker 18: Opportunity for two to construct something out of probably it
34:13
Speaker 18: sounds like whole cloth. Look, this is funny because this
34:17
Speaker 18: is really projection on the side of the left. It's
34:19
Speaker 18: the left who likes to use economic muscle and boycott
34:24
Speaker 18: to punish their opponents. Here's another example of that where
34:27
Speaker 18: she's tried to put a bakery that's been around for
34:30
Speaker 18: one hundred years. This is prohibition out of business. It's unfortunate,
34:35
Speaker 18: it's gross, but really kind of conforms with who she is.
34:43
Speaker 9: Yep.
34:43
Speaker 4: And she didn't name the bakery on the view, but
34:46
Speaker 4: she named the location and it was clear to everybody
34:50
Speaker 4: who she was talking about. So very quickly this became
34:53
Speaker 4: the story. And I do like that the bakery and
34:56
Speaker 4: its customers are fighting back.
34:59
Speaker 5: Now.
34:59
Speaker 4: I think we've all need to apologize to Oprah because
35:03
Speaker 4: there were claims circulating that her company received one million
35:08
Speaker 4: dollars for that Kamala Harris interview, town hall, whatever you
35:11
Speaker 4: want to call it.
35:12
Speaker 3: It was just a fluff piece army. It looks like
35:16
Speaker 3: she was actually paid two point five million dollars.
35:19
Speaker 4: Now Oprah will say this was for the production costs,
35:23
Speaker 4: for the salaries of everybody involved, But normally you don't
35:27
Speaker 4: charge the interview subject to interview them. This is all
35:31
Speaker 4: very strange.
35:34
Speaker 5: Yeah.
35:34
Speaker 18: Look, you and I are in the content production business,
35:37
Speaker 18: but we have a sense of what things cost. I mean,
35:40
Speaker 18: I saw the interview that she did, I saw that
35:42
Speaker 18: town hall that did not cost two point five million dollars.
35:46
Speaker 18: And by the way, also was not forget that the
35:49
Speaker 18: call me daddy or smack me and call me Daddy podcast.
35:54
Speaker 18: She also paid them, you know, in the well for
35:57
Speaker 18: the six figures as well, where she basically shot at
36:00
Speaker 18: from my hotel room and had some plastic or cardboard
36:04
Speaker 18: behind her. This is not things that cost you, and
36:07
Speaker 18: I know that sounds kind of fishy. What I find interesting, though,
36:10
Speaker 18: is that for all that money, at two point five
36:13
Speaker 18: million dollars that she spent on Oprah Winfrey, she only
36:16
Speaker 18: got one point two million views, not a very good
36:20
Speaker 18: cost benefit analysis. And for the Call Me Daddy podcast
36:24
Speaker 18: that got less than a million views for over one
36:27
Speaker 18: hundred and fifty or whatever one thousand dollars, look man
36:30
Speaker 18: to just buy comparison, The last interview you and I
36:33
Speaker 18: did got over two million views, and I'm pretty sure
36:37
Speaker 18: I didn't get anywhere near that. Maybe I should be
36:39
Speaker 18: asking for more money.
36:42
Speaker 4: Yeah, maybe we should stop talking about these figures and
36:45
Speaker 4: tonight's if it's not up to two million within fourty
36:48
Speaker 4: eight hours, well I'll be looking for a new guest.
36:51
Speaker 3: May that's how we roll here.
36:53
Speaker 4: I want to talk to you about Katie Hokel, the
36:56
Speaker 4: New York governor.
36:57
Speaker 3: Your governor. You are in New YORKA.
37:00
Speaker 4: She wants New Yorkers to be grateful to her for
37:03
Speaker 4: saving them money.
37:06
Speaker 3: And it's a very bizarre way.
37:08
Speaker 4: To introduce the concept of a congestion tax.
37:13
Speaker 3: Have a listened.
37:14
Speaker 12: From day one, I have made affordability for New York
37:17
Speaker 12: family is a top priority. I always have and I
37:22
Speaker 12: always will fight to put more money in the pockets
37:27
Speaker 12: of everyday New Yorkers.
37:28
Speaker 4: A very odd way in data me to announce a
37:32
Speaker 4: nine dollars congestion tax.
37:34
Speaker 3: It's pretty steep.
37:36
Speaker 4: And to pretend that she's saving people money.
37:40
Speaker 3: Wow, the hootspar on her.
37:43
Speaker 18: Yeah, great work, let's love it. Listen. It's it's interesting.
37:49
Speaker 18: I live in New York, right, so this directly affects me.
37:53
Speaker 18: And the truth is is that we do have a
37:56
Speaker 18: problem with our infrastructure, by the way, and that's the
37:58
Speaker 18: way it needed to be framed, right, She's not saying
38:00
Speaker 18: anybody it's costing people money. And by the way, you
38:02
Speaker 18: know it's costing. It's not a progressive tax at all.
38:06
Speaker 18: It's going to cost that people who have to commute
38:08
Speaker 18: in here, particularly the poorer working class who have to
38:11
Speaker 18: live outside the civics. They can't afford the ransom Manhattan
38:14
Speaker 18: more money than the rich who live here. That's the
38:17
Speaker 18: bigger problem, frankly, is that she's going after her own constituency.
38:21
Speaker 18: But she should have framed it in a different way, saying, look,
38:23
Speaker 18: we have a crumbling infrastructure. We have a problem on
38:25
Speaker 18: our bus system, we trains the subways, and then we
38:28
Speaker 18: need to fix it and this is the only way
38:29
Speaker 18: we can fix it.
38:30
Speaker 15: She framed it.
38:31
Speaker 18: That way, maybe people will get a bored, but doing
38:34
Speaker 18: it the way she is is just so disingenuous and wrong.
38:36
Speaker 18: It's ridiculous.
38:40
Speaker 4: Before you go, we've got a case of like father,
38:44
Speaker 4: like son. When I saw this vision of Hunter Biden
38:47
Speaker 4: at Disneyland, I thought he was Joe for a second.
38:50
Speaker 4: The family resemblance there is a little bit disturbing.
38:53
Speaker 3: He's got that Joe Biden days happening and army.
38:58
Speaker 4: Anyone who's seen the contents of his laptop, the images
39:01
Speaker 4: and videos we can't show you on this family friendly show,
39:05
Speaker 4: might be questioning what he's doing in Disney.
39:10
Speaker 18: Yeah. Well, that's the cost of spending a lot of
39:13
Speaker 18: time with hookers and a lot of blow. I mean,
39:16
Speaker 18: that's the kind of days it puts you in. So yeah,
39:19
Speaker 18: maybe me spent a little more of a clean life,
39:22
Speaker 18: clean living. You might have looked better. But hey, I'm
39:25
Speaker 18: never gonna fault the guy for going to Disneyland, the
39:27
Speaker 18: happiest place on earth. Good for him, I got no
39:29
Speaker 18: problem with that.
39:32
Speaker 4: Well, yes, I don't know if he was enjoying himself though,
39:35
Speaker 4: judging by the vision we've just shown, Army Horowitz.
39:38
Speaker 3: Always a pleasure. Thanks for your time tonight.
39:41
Speaker 9: Pleasure is in mine.
39:42
Speaker 3: Still to come.
39:43
Speaker 4: The huge cultural shift triggered by Donald Trump's election victory,
39:48
Speaker 4: Adam b. Coleman has the details. Welcome back joining me
40:00
Speaker 4: now as founder of wrong Speak Publishing, Adam Bate Coleman. Adam,
40:05
Speaker 4: you've written on a fantastic piece about the presidential election
40:09
Speaker 4: triggering a huge cultural shift and how it's suddenly cool
40:14
Speaker 4: to be a Republican.
40:15
Speaker 3: It's cool to be maga. Tell me about this phenomenon.
40:20
Speaker 20: Yeah. I think the Trump dance phenomenon just shows that
40:25
Speaker 20: American missus Donald Trump as a cultural figure. And I
40:28
Speaker 20: think much of the election win allowed for that Hayes
40:33
Speaker 20: to kind of disappear from the American public, and now
40:36
Speaker 20: people are realizing that he's actually very much so a character.
40:43
Speaker 20: You know, he's a lovable person, someone that is inadvertently funny,
40:46
Speaker 20: at times. But he's not this unique monster, this hitlarian
40:52
Speaker 20: character that has been I would say unfairly placed on
40:57
Speaker 20: him since he decided to run for office. I think
41:01
Speaker 20: America suffered from amnesia almost a decade now, and just
41:06
Speaker 20: forgetting who he was and how influential he was in
41:10
Speaker 20: our society, especially in our culture.
41:15
Speaker 3: He is a funny man. This is a thing.
41:17
Speaker 4: He's not just inadvertently funny. He's deliberately funny. And the
41:21
Speaker 4: people who are not afflicted with Trump derangement syndrome, whether
41:26
Speaker 4: they vote for him or not, can see that when
41:29
Speaker 4: you see him interviewed, when he does his speeches, he
41:32
Speaker 4: pokes fun at himself. He makes jokes, and it's very relatable.
41:36
Speaker 4: You talked about the Trump dance. We've seen that go viral.
41:40
Speaker 4: More and more sports stars are doing the dance, and
41:44
Speaker 4: you wrote that this is for the radical left their
41:48
Speaker 4: greatest nightmare because the spell over Americans to see Trump
41:52
Speaker 4: as a monster is fading. They now see him as
41:56
Speaker 4: someone who's humanized and returning him to that status as
42:00
Speaker 4: a and I quote you here, a lovable cultural icon.
42:05
Speaker 4: What does this shift mean for America? One of the
42:08
Speaker 4: things that's really shocked me is seeing the footballers do
42:13
Speaker 4: the dance during not just college football, but in the NFL.
42:17
Speaker 4: It wasn't that long ago that we saw all that
42:20
Speaker 4: far left activism in the NFL that really upset a
42:24
Speaker 4: lot of their fan base, players taking their knee for BLM.
42:28
Speaker 4: But now they're doing the Trump dance. If you said
42:31
Speaker 4: that a few years ago, I would have said you
42:33
Speaker 4: were crazy.
42:37
Speaker 5: Yeah.
42:37
Speaker 20: I mean, it's so interesting how quickly the culture shifts
42:41
Speaker 20: and how free people are allowed to express themselves when
42:46
Speaker 20: it comes to anything revolving around Trump. You know, you
42:50
Speaker 20: even just mentioning his name would at list is some
42:52
Speaker 20: sort of negative reaction if you said it in the
42:54
Speaker 20: wrong crowd. And you know, I live in the Northeast,
42:58
Speaker 20: where you know, it's a blue state, and I went
43:01
Speaker 20: to a restaurant and I saw a table filled with
43:03
Speaker 20: people wearing Trump paraphernalia, something I never saw before. You know,
43:08
Speaker 20: so a lot of people feel very comfortable knowing that
43:12
Speaker 20: most of the most of America supports Donald Trump, and
43:16
Speaker 20: they don't feel less scared, and they feel a lot
43:18
Speaker 20: more free to see him as someone who represents America.
43:22
Speaker 20: And that's what most Americans feel like. He is an
43:25
Speaker 20: American icon. It's just that we've just gone through this
43:29
Speaker 20: phase over the past, you know, eight to ten years
43:32
Speaker 20: of forgetting that.
43:35
Speaker 3: Well.
43:36
Speaker 4: One of the lines I heard uttered by a Trump
43:39
Speaker 4: supporter was that we won the popular vote, start acting
43:43
Speaker 4: like it. So even though he won in twenty sixteen
43:47
Speaker 4: and it was a pretty convincing victory in many ways,
43:50
Speaker 4: there was still this perception out there that we can't
43:53
Speaker 4: normalize Donald Trump, where he is still this ogre figure.
43:57
Speaker 4: But it seems like other than in that really leftist
44:01
Speaker 4: echo chamber, that's no longer the case. You have got
44:05
Speaker 4: even high profile people coming out and pledging their support.
44:09
Speaker 3: And I heard Whole Cogan of.
44:11
Speaker 4: All people, being interviewed this week, and he said the
44:15
Speaker 4: reason he came out and finally was public with his
44:18
Speaker 4: support was because Trump got shot and he got back
44:22
Speaker 4: up straight away, and he made whole Hogan, who had
44:26
Speaker 4: been supporting him privately, feel like a coward because he
44:30
Speaker 4: wasn't brave enough to actually say it publicly. And I
44:35
Speaker 4: wonder how many other celebrities like the Sylvester Stallone and
44:38
Speaker 4: some of the country and music stars are in the
44:41
Speaker 4: same boat where they felt like cowards being supporters privately.
44:50
Speaker 20: Yeah, I would imagine that there are many you know,
44:53
Speaker 20: some of them still take the risk of seeing these
44:56
Speaker 20: things publicly. In their industry, you know, unfortunately, would is
45:00
Speaker 20: heavily left leaning. There's still ramifications if you are showing
45:04
Speaker 20: public support for any Republican, nevertheless Donald Trump. But at
45:09
Speaker 20: the end of the day, what we're seeing is America healing.
45:12
Speaker 20: I think that we're getting to a point where we're
45:15
Speaker 20: just seeing him as a person. And I think that's
45:17
Speaker 20: what's been so detrimental about American politics is that the
45:21
Speaker 20: narrative has always been, especially for the past eight years,
45:25
Speaker 20: about dehumanizing the opposition. There is something uniquely immoral about
45:31
Speaker 20: Donald Trump, or if you're a Republican, there's something uniquely
45:34
Speaker 20: im moral about the Democrats. And the reality is that
45:39
Speaker 20: these are flawed individuals. Everyone thinks that they're right, and
45:43
Speaker 20: I think many people have good intentions, including Donald Trump,
45:47
Speaker 20: and I think we should, you know, obviously, criticize him.
45:50
Speaker 20: Donald Trump is a politician. We can criticize him. He's
45:53
Speaker 20: going to be, you know, the president very soon once again,
45:58
Speaker 20: so we should criticize him. We should old him accountable.
46:01
Speaker 20: He's made a lot of promises and I'm someone who
46:03
Speaker 20: voted for him, and I have high expectations for him,
46:06
Speaker 20: but I don't see him as you know, Hitlarian. I
46:09
Speaker 20: don't see him as anything else but a man. He's
46:13
Speaker 20: a man, just like any other president who's been in
46:16
Speaker 20: charge of this country, and we should measure him as such,
46:19
Speaker 20: not as a monster.
46:23
Speaker 4: Finally, Adam, I want to play you a clip from
46:26
Speaker 4: UFC fighter Jim Miller. There's been lots of focus on
46:30
Speaker 4: UFC great John Jones, particularly after he paid tribute to
46:35
Speaker 4: Donald Trump after his amazing win, but Jim Miller also
46:39
Speaker 4: had the crowd cheering when he said this after his
46:42
Speaker 4: fight New York.
46:43
Speaker 21: I got one thing to say. First, we need justice
46:47
Speaker 21: for Peter, right, like you know, it's not justice, Sarah,
46:53
Speaker 21: it's all the kids that went hungry that night and
46:56
Speaker 21: all the other things that the money and resources could
46:58
Speaker 21: have been worth too.
47:00
Speaker 13: Hopefully that.
47:02
Speaker 21: Plan things to stay level.
47:04
Speaker 4: Adam, it's incredible to think that paint out the squirrel
47:08
Speaker 4: and the raccoon played a role in the US presidential election.
47:14
Speaker 3: Explained to my audience what that was all about.
47:20
Speaker 20: Yeah, I mean, Peanut was basically a famous online squirrel,
47:24
Speaker 20: and honestly, I wasn't even familiar with Peanut until his
47:27
Speaker 20: killing by the New York State government, removed from a
47:31
Speaker 20: house where you know he was. He was a rescue squirrel,
47:35
Speaker 20: raised he was basically an indoor squirrel, and the government
47:39
Speaker 20: came in, took him, claimed that he might be dangerous,
47:43
Speaker 20: and ultimately killed him, meanwhile leaving you know, the people
47:49
Speaker 20: who owned him devastated because they loved him, just like
47:52
Speaker 20: you know, I love my dog. I would be, you know,
47:54
Speaker 20: traumatized if the government came into my house and euthanized
47:58
Speaker 20: my dog. But it was just a perfect example of
48:01
Speaker 20: government overreach. The amount of force that was used to
48:05
Speaker 20: come in there for a squirrel, different departments, judges signing
48:10
Speaker 20: off on warrants and all these types of things. You know,
48:14
Speaker 20: it was just utterly ridiculous, and for what reason. Nothing
48:19
Speaker 20: really came from it, and it was stemming from, I believe,
48:22
Speaker 20: stemming from one single complaint. So, you know, Peanut is
48:27
Speaker 20: just an example of government just completely overreaching.
48:34
Speaker 4: Absolutely, it was something I didn't know about Peanut or
48:39
Speaker 4: the raccoon until the government sees them and kill them.
48:43
Speaker 4: But then I saw those videos, and you can see
48:45
Speaker 4: why that had such a following. The videos are beautiful.
48:48
Speaker 4: They were both hand raised, so there were pets that
48:52
Speaker 4: weren't wild animals, and to have them killed for their
48:56
Speaker 4: own good or for someone's good was just a perfect
49:00
Speaker 4: example of what too much bureaucracy can do.
49:04
Speaker 9: Adam B.
49:04
Speaker 4: Coleman, thank you so much for your time tonight, and
49:07
Speaker 4: that's it from me. Up next is Newsnight. I'll see
49:10
Speaker 4: you at eleven tomorrow
