Speaker 1: Go on scoring wields ostrodio.
0:05
Speaker 2: This is the Wader Paney Show.
0:09
Speaker 3: Good evening, and welcome to the Reader Paney Show.
0:12
Speaker 4: Coming up tonight, the backlog of migrants seeking permanent residency
0:16
Speaker 4: hits a record high, plus more bad news for Malcolm
0:19
Speaker 4: Turnbull Snowy Hydro two point oh scheme. My panel will
0:23
Speaker 4: break down the day's top headlines. A group of parents
0:26
Speaker 4: plead for a review of the Australian Human Rights Commissions.
0:29
Speaker 4: Gender Explainer Resources Rachel Wong will be here to discuss
0:33
Speaker 4: that Donald Trump hosts King Charles in Washington and delivers
0:37
Speaker 4: what many are calling one of his best speeches. John
0:41
Speaker 4: heinde Akl will bring us the latest from the US,
0:44
Speaker 4: Plus ABC stands by Jimmy Kimmel after his painfully unfunny
0:49
Speaker 4: joke about Milania becoming a widow. Michael Loftis will bring
0:53
Speaker 4: us the day's entertainment news, and Left Is Losing It
0:57
Speaker 4: features this bluehead Democrat congress woman losing her mind.
1:02
Speaker 5: No, you're here because you need money from us, So
1:05
Speaker 5: hold for the second and wait for the questions.
1:08
Speaker 3: And answer the question.
1:09
Speaker 4: I answered your question, but first, The Prime Minister was
1:12
Speaker 4: in Perth this morning selling his upcoming budget reforms, including
1:16
Speaker 4: his government's proposed changes to negative gearing and the capital
1:20
Speaker 4: gains tax discount. The government is expected to announce on
1:23
Speaker 4: Budget Day that it will scrap the fifty percent CGT
1:26
Speaker 4: discount for assets held at least twelve months and revert
1:30
Speaker 4: to the Keating model, which will apply to all asset
1:33
Speaker 4: classes and will tax real gains adjusted for inflation over
1:37
Speaker 4: the life of the asset.
1:38
Speaker 3: There is also speculation that.
1:40
Speaker 4: Labor will wipe out negative gearing on existing homes and
1:43
Speaker 4: allow it only for new builds. In a speech delivered
1:47
Speaker 4: to a mining breakfast in Perth this morning, the PM
1:50
Speaker 4: said resilience will be one of the key themes of
1:53
Speaker 4: the budget building.
1:54
Speaker 6: Our resilience is about protecting ourselves from the economic division
1:59
Speaker 6: and social dislocation we have seen take hold in other
2:03
Speaker 6: parts of the world. To preserve everything that makes this
2:07
Speaker 6: the best country on earth, we have to make the
2:10
Speaker 6: economy work better for people.
2:13
Speaker 4: Joining me now is verb Communications frough McSween and Sky
2:16
Speaker 4: News contributor Louise Roberts.
2:19
Speaker 3: Louise.
2:19
Speaker 4: The PM also said this resilience extends beyond securing supply
2:25
Speaker 4: chains and includes securing social cohesion.
2:28
Speaker 3: What does that mean to you. I don't know.
2:30
Speaker 7: I wish you had provided an explanation this morning, Rita.
2:34
Speaker 7: But look this sort of politics of envy which has
2:36
Speaker 7: infected our federal government, where in their absolutely, adamir, they're
2:40
Speaker 7: going after capital gains, they're going after negative gearing. Superannuation
2:43
Speaker 7: is always in their crosshairs, and of course, as we
2:46
Speaker 7: discussed recently, changes to health rebates for people over sixty five,
2:51
Speaker 7: this is all predicated on helping young people who they
2:54
Speaker 7: say are disenfranchised from the system and have suffered because
2:57
Speaker 7: of the dreaded boomers. You know, we've paid taxes for
3:01
Speaker 7: fifty years, so I don't see anything in here which
3:04
Speaker 7: actually helps younger people. And they're not saying where the
3:07
Speaker 7: money's going. If they were saying to me, now, well,
3:09
Speaker 7: we're going to you know, recoup this amount of money
3:12
Speaker 7: from capital gains or negative gearing, and it's going to
3:15
Speaker 7: go towards housing for younger people, then maybe that may
3:18
Speaker 7: be acceptable. But that they're not saying where the money's going,
3:21
Speaker 7: and I wonder whether it's going to be this sort
3:23
Speaker 7: of slush fund to sort of soak up some of
3:26
Speaker 7: the government spending, the crazy spending we've spoken about before.
3:29
Speaker 7: It just seemed like a bit of a word salad
3:31
Speaker 7: this morning. I mean to say it's resilience. I mean, yes,
3:35
Speaker 7: you do have to be resilient to live in Australia
3:37
Speaker 7: because you just don't know what they're going to target next.
3:40
Speaker 3: On the tax front, there.
3:43
Speaker 4: Did seem to be a lot of motherhood statements there
3:46
Speaker 4: proved just things that sound fabulous, but really, where's the detail.
3:52
Speaker 8: Well, it's socialists speak one oh one, isn't it really?
3:55
Speaker 8: You know, pull out these words resilient, social cohesion, fairness
4:00
Speaker 8: but translated and it just means it's a giant sales
4:04
Speaker 8: pitch con job by this man who's got us into
4:08
Speaker 8: this situation. I mean, you know, social cohesion has never
4:11
Speaker 8: been worse under this government who cannot recognize that there's
4:15
Speaker 8: anti semitism. You know, he's demonizing, as Luise said, you know,
4:21
Speaker 8: the baby boomers who've worked hard to try not to
4:24
Speaker 8: be a burden on the economy, and he's divided this
4:29
Speaker 8: country so much that he hasn't demonstrated and charmers haven't
4:33
Speaker 8: demonstrated at all that they know how to get us
4:36
Speaker 8: out of this mess because they refuse to accept that
4:39
Speaker 8: their energy policy is so bad and he's cast us
4:43
Speaker 8: into this situation where you know, he loves Palestine, he's
4:50
Speaker 8: dividing us from the rest of the world and our allies.
4:53
Speaker 8: And this is why we're in this pickle that we
4:55
Speaker 8: are globally as well as locally.
5:00
Speaker 4: The backlog of migrants seeking permanent residency in Australia has
5:04
Speaker 4: hit a record high of four hundred and twenty five thousand.
5:08
Speaker 4: The backlog includes fifty nine thousand skilled workers sponsored by
5:12
Speaker 4: an Australian based employer, which is around forty thousand more
5:16
Speaker 4: than before COVID nineteen times. The number of permanent visas
5:22
Speaker 4: has been capped by this government at one hundred and
5:24
Speaker 4: eighty five thousand for the twenty five twenty six financial year,
5:28
Speaker 4: but pro net overseas migration also increased last year, reaching
5:33
Speaker 4: three hundred and eleven thousand, again above pre pandemic levels.
5:39
Speaker 8: Well, we know why Labour's doing it. It's all about
5:43
Speaker 8: getting votes. They're mining for votes. They don't care, you know,
5:47
Speaker 8: they prefers that they're concerned about the younger generation and
5:50
Speaker 8: fairness and getting them into housing. Well, the reason we're
5:54
Speaker 8: in this mess is because of this rampant immigration program.
5:58
Speaker 8: And it's for labor. Every one of them is a
6:02
Speaker 8: vote for labor. We all know why they're doing it.
6:05
Speaker 8: So we need to worry about getting skilled workers. But
6:08
Speaker 8: we have this scenario where people who are let in
6:11
Speaker 8: on visus temporary visas suddenly can stay here, use our
6:15
Speaker 8: appeal system and bridge their way into permanent residency. I mean,
6:20
Speaker 8: the whole immigration system needs a review.
6:25
Speaker 4: It does need a review, and we've had the coalition
6:29
Speaker 4: Louise promise all sorts of reforms. They're talking about values,
6:33
Speaker 4: but we don't have a number from them yet. Do
6:35
Speaker 4: you see merit in them releasing their policy now instead
6:40
Speaker 4: of waiting too closer to the election.
6:43
Speaker 7: I do, because that's been the number one question, hasn't it?
6:46
Speaker 7: What other values and how do you test for values
6:48
Speaker 7: for migrants come into this country. So surely if they
6:51
Speaker 7: were to come up with a number and say we
6:52
Speaker 7: will cap migration at this level, that will give us
6:55
Speaker 7: some context of what the plan is, because all the
6:57
Speaker 7: Australians know the system needs to become because every moment
7:01
Speaker 7: he comes in needs housing, transport, healthcare, schools, and all
7:05
Speaker 7: those systems are undistrained. We don't have the capacity just
7:09
Speaker 7: to wholesale im poor people. As pro says, Yes, we
7:13
Speaker 7: want skilled migrants, but we're not set up to do
7:16
Speaker 7: that properly at the moment because we've just let in
7:18
Speaker 7: too many people for the system that we have and
7:21
Speaker 7: how we support them. So look, if the coalition were
7:25
Speaker 7: to release a figure, I think it would be a
7:26
Speaker 7: good moved, particularly ahead of the Pharaoh by election. But
7:29
Speaker 7: I think people are interested to know in that context
7:31
Speaker 7: as well.
7:34
Speaker 3: Now, this story is just beggars belief.
7:37
Speaker 4: A judge has taken into account health conditions and aboriginal
7:42
Speaker 4: life expectancy when she determined the jail term of a
7:45
Speaker 4: man who admitted to the brutal, gruesome murder of a
7:49
Speaker 4: seventy two year old man inside his own home in Dimbullane,
7:53
Speaker 4: Western Victoria. Thomas Clark pleaded guilty to murdering John Hunter
7:58
Speaker 4: and was sentenced to twenty one years in prison with
8:01
Speaker 4: a non parole period of fifteen years. Now, the details
8:06
Speaker 4: of this case are incredibly gruesome. A box cutter was
8:10
Speaker 4: used to carve into the victim's body, his eyes were
8:14
Speaker 4: gouget out, his penis and scroton were amputated. But when
8:19
Speaker 4: delivering her sentence, just as Jane Dixon said, I take
8:23
Speaker 4: into account the risk you could spend the rest of
8:26
Speaker 4: your life in prison due to your age, health and
8:30
Speaker 4: the life expectancy of Aboriginal men. Louise, it's that last
8:36
Speaker 4: point that has raised eyebrows. I don't know, to me,
8:40
Speaker 4: fifteen year minimum from a murderer that is this brutal
8:45
Speaker 4: seems manifestly inadequate.
8:47
Speaker 7: Well, it does. Yeah, and the fact the guys played
8:49
Speaker 7: guilty as well as you said, the details are absolutely
8:53
Speaker 7: penis to even consider. And where is a victim in
8:56
Speaker 7: all this as well? It seems to be more about
8:58
Speaker 7: the rights of the perpetrating someone who, as I said,
9:01
Speaker 7: pled guilty to the crime, and if he were a
9:04
Speaker 7: non indigenous man, would that be taken into account, would
9:06
Speaker 7: he get some special mitigation there? And I think from
9:08
Speaker 7: the public's point of view that they want to know
9:11
Speaker 7: that the consequences are severe enough for someone who commits
9:14
Speaker 7: this type of crime, and any sort of peripheral factors
9:17
Speaker 7: coming in.
9:18
Speaker 3: We are to be very careful.
9:19
Speaker 7: We don't open the door here wholesale, and so it
9:21
Speaker 7: just waters down sentences. I mean, I agree fifteen years
9:24
Speaker 7: is not enough.
9:27
Speaker 4: It seems the focus so often in the criminal justice
9:30
Speaker 4: system is on the perpetrator and what's in their best
9:34
Speaker 4: interests as opposed to the victim and the wider community.
9:38
Speaker 4: I mean, I just don't think this individual should ever
9:40
Speaker 4: see a day outside of prison.
9:43
Speaker 3: Again.
9:43
Speaker 8: I couldn't agree more. He should not be walking among
9:46
Speaker 8: us and we will not be safe. He obviously has
9:50
Speaker 8: a mental illness, But the point is that we are
9:53
Speaker 8: sick to death of these woke judges who are treating
9:58
Speaker 8: people differently in this courts. In this man, I don't
10:01
Speaker 8: care they make excuses. You know, he went to bed
10:04
Speaker 8: when he was a child, whatever it was. We don't care.
10:08
Speaker 8: The man has committed a heinous crime, as so many have,
10:12
Speaker 8: and they're given this soft sort of sentencing. We have
10:16
Speaker 8: lost faith in our justice system because justice is not
10:20
Speaker 8: meeted out equally and fairly.
10:24
Speaker 4: More bad news for the Snowy Hydro two point oh project.
10:28
Speaker 4: When he was announced by former PM Malcolm Turnbull remember
10:31
Speaker 4: him back in twenty seventeen, The project was supposed to
10:35
Speaker 4: cost two billion dollars and be finished in twenty twenty one.
10:39
Speaker 4: At the time, I still thought he was spectacularly stupid
10:42
Speaker 4: and pushing water up a hill and pushing it down,
10:45
Speaker 4: but now former Energy executive Todd Woodley expects it won't
10:49
Speaker 4: be finished until twenty thirty two at the earliest. And Prue,
10:54
Speaker 4: get this the cost, forget about two billion, it will
10:57
Speaker 4: be around forty two billion dollars.
11:00
Speaker 8: Look the snow job that was Malcolm Turnbull. You know,
11:05
Speaker 8: let's face this, he should never have become Prime minister.
11:08
Speaker 8: He hasn't done anything that was any note other than
11:12
Speaker 8: this one, which is going to go down in history
11:15
Speaker 8: with the NBN as one of the NBN. And of
11:18
Speaker 8: course the ndis now because they're just milking money from
11:23
Speaker 8: the taxpawer and the problem is it will it will
11:26
Speaker 8: never work and they're in too far. They're not going
11:30
Speaker 8: to let it go to save face, so the taxpayer. Meanwhile,
11:34
Speaker 8: just imagine what forty two billions could do with our
11:37
Speaker 8: trillion dollar debt. I mean, it's just astounding that people
11:41
Speaker 8: like Malcolm Turnbull somehow get into office and Albany's you
11:45
Speaker 8: somehow get into office. There's inept people who just stumble
11:50
Speaker 8: in and create so much waste, cost and destruction, I believe.
11:57
Speaker 4: And often they think that the smartest man in any room.
12:01
Speaker 4: Now New South Wales has ended a decade long ban
12:05
Speaker 4: on gas exploration by opening two massive Far West regions
12:09
Speaker 4: two drillers. The state government ended the band to try
12:12
Speaker 4: and secure its power grid and bolster the manufacturing sector Louise.
12:17
Speaker 4: The state government has also vowed that any gas that
12:20
Speaker 4: is produced by any of these projects would be for
12:23
Speaker 4: domestic use only and would not be exported. I've got
12:26
Speaker 4: to say, this is a labor government in New South Wales,
12:29
Speaker 4: but this is a move that should be celebrated.
12:32
Speaker 7: I agree, what a surprise to hear a labor government
12:35
Speaker 7: actually spell out the truth that gas is actually an
12:38
Speaker 7: effective way to power our homes and it's going to
12:40
Speaker 7: be used domestically. I mean, yeah, hurray for that. I
12:42
Speaker 7: agree with you completely, Rita that we're not getting the
12:45
Speaker 7: climate script, we're not getting the renewable script. We're getting
12:48
Speaker 7: the reality of more gas plants and you know, hopefully
12:51
Speaker 7: cheaper energy for people, at least in New South Wales.
12:55
Speaker 4: And you can contrast that to Victoria where they are
12:59
Speaker 4: trying to add they tried to change the laws in
13:01
Speaker 4: fact that in fact they may have I may have
13:03
Speaker 4: memory hold this where new homes will not even have
13:06
Speaker 4: a gas connection because gas is so evil. They change
13:09
Speaker 4: the state's constitution here with the help of the Victorian
13:12
Speaker 4: Libs to limit gas exploration, and you look over the
13:16
Speaker 4: border of what Miss South Wales is doing. Now, before
13:19
Speaker 4: you two go, let's have a look at Pauline Hanson's
13:22
Speaker 4: latest Please explain cartoon mocking Anthony Albanize's failure to manage
13:27
Speaker 4: Australia's glaring fuel crisis.
13:30
Speaker 3: Myself, the fuel crisis?
13:32
Speaker 1: How much should you get? One hundred million?
13:35
Speaker 9: Leaders?
13:35
Speaker 1: Wow, well that's one of the biggest numbers there is,
13:38
Speaker 1: sure is. Do you have any idea how long this
13:40
Speaker 1: much petrol's gonna last?
13:41
Speaker 10: This one day?
13:43
Speaker 11: What?
13:44
Speaker 1: No elbow one is a really little number. Yes, I know, Jim,
13:48
Speaker 1: all right, get bowing in here. No elbow Come on,
13:51
Speaker 1: he's a peanut.
13:52
Speaker 3: I am not a peanut.
13:54
Speaker 1: Penny, Come on, Penny, don't call him a peanut.
13:56
Speaker 10: You know what I tell to you.
13:57
Speaker 1: He gets Chris, what are you doing about the fuel crime?
14:00
Speaker 10: What for your crisis?
14:01
Speaker 1: Who needs petrol when you've got renewables or apparently the
14:04
Speaker 1: whole country farming, agriculture, mining, planes, transport. Yeah, yeah, but
14:10
Speaker 1: imagine a world that runs on sunshine and wind and
14:13
Speaker 1: cheap Chinese batteries who sold? How much does it get
14:17
Speaker 1: a kyste peanuts only like a trullion dollars? At least
14:22
Speaker 1: we're already in one trillion dollars worth of debt. Oh,
14:24
Speaker 1: come on, Jim, it's only one more. One is a
14:27
Speaker 1: very little number. Jim.
14:28
Speaker 10: Well, that's all the economic due diligence I need. Let's
14:31
Speaker 10: do it.
14:31
Speaker 1: Ah, great, Well they solve that problem, and the best
14:34
Speaker 1: middies will only take a few more decades.
14:37
Speaker 3: A few more decades.
14:38
Speaker 1: What are we going to do in the meantime, We've
14:40
Speaker 1: only got two refineries one refinery.
14:47
Speaker 4: They're very good, Louise, They are very clever, and they're
14:52
Speaker 4: funny because most of the things they mock are very
14:54
Speaker 4: much true.
14:55
Speaker 7: Absolutely, anyone watching that would think, yeah, that's what I
14:58
Speaker 7: think of I think you know people are watching that
15:00
Speaker 7: would maybe think Boen is a peanut or has a
15:02
Speaker 7: peanut style approach to energy and conservation and actually cost
15:07
Speaker 7: of living as well. So yeah, it's very well observed.
15:10
Speaker 7: I think, very well observed.
15:12
Speaker 4: And I did enjoy the treasurer art struggling with big
15:14
Speaker 4: and little numbers there as well.
15:17
Speaker 3: True McSween Lloyds Roberts, thank you, so much for your
15:19
Speaker 3: time tonight, Thank you, Thank you.
15:22
Speaker 4: A group called the Parents of Adolescence with Gender Distress
15:25
Speaker 4: has pleaded for an urgent review of the Australian Human
15:28
Speaker 4: Rights Commissions explainer resources, which it says are misleading. These
15:34
Speaker 4: explainers rely on and reference advocacy organizations in preference to independent,
15:39
Speaker 4: peer reviewed systematic reviews, and contain misleading and inaccurate claims.
15:46
Speaker 4: The highly controversial nature of these interventions is not conveyed,
15:49
Speaker 4: nor are the significant limitations in the evidence space quoted
15:54
Speaker 4: to justify their use.
15:56
Speaker 3: Joining me now is.
15:57
Speaker 4: Women's Forum Australia CEO Rachel Wong.
16:00
Speaker 3: Rachel. The Australian Human Rights.
16:02
Speaker 4: Commission has been embroiled now in multiple controversies over its
16:07
Speaker 4: enthusiastic support of the gender affirming model. What are the
16:11
Speaker 4: chances they're going to listen to these distraught parents?
16:16
Speaker 9: Good evening, RITA, great to join you, Not very high unfortunately. Firstly,
16:21
Speaker 9: I just like to say good on these parents taking
16:23
Speaker 9: a stand and standing up for the safety and health
16:25
Speaker 9: of their children. But as we've seen over the years,
16:29
Speaker 9: the AHRC is just so completely captured by gender ideology
16:33
Speaker 9: from intervening against women's six based rights to supporting pub
16:38
Speaker 9: blockers and being embroiled in court cases where they have
16:41
Speaker 9: failed properly advocate for children and young people on this issue,
16:47
Speaker 9: and so they've have plenty of opportunities to engage with
16:49
Speaker 9: these parents. There's been plenty of media attention about how
16:51
Speaker 9: these parents are struggling, about how their children are struggling,
16:54
Speaker 9: and so I don't really have any faith that they
16:57
Speaker 9: are going to listen to them. I think it's high
16:59
Speaker 9: time the government stepped in and either dealt with or
17:04
Speaker 9: dismantled this incredibly captured institution. And I think the parents
17:10
Speaker 9: are absolutely correct to point out the evidence or the
17:14
Speaker 9: lack of evidence and the ahsc's explainers because they are
17:17
Speaker 9: still promoting these credited lines like puberty blockers are safe,
17:21
Speaker 9: effective and irreversible and they're just a pause, you know,
17:25
Speaker 9: on puberty, etc.
17:26
Speaker 3: And it's just flat out wrong. It is flat out wrong.
17:31
Speaker 4: It's deliberately being blind to a massive body of evidence
17:36
Speaker 4: that has emerged in recent years from the UK, from Scandinavia,
17:40
Speaker 4: from the US. I don't know how they can ignore
17:43
Speaker 4: that and just follow down this path. And last year
17:47
Speaker 4: the Australian Human Rights Commission named Melbourne Royal Children's Hospital
17:51
Speaker 4: Director of Gender Medicine Michelle Telfer, as a finalist for
17:55
Speaker 4: its annual Human Rights Award. I mean that really shows
17:58
Speaker 4: you where they are ideologically. You say the government should intervene.
18:04
Speaker 4: What can be done other than scrapping the whole thing?
18:09
Speaker 9: I mean, look, the government could give direction to the
18:12
Speaker 9: Australian Human Rights Commission, or they could potentially commission some
18:16
Speaker 9: kind of review. But what's been happening in relation to
18:20
Speaker 9: the way that they have been dealing with the issue
18:22
Speaker 9: of each gender medicine is just such a slap, slap
18:24
Speaker 9: in the face to these parents and to these young people.
18:27
Speaker 9: And I've met some of these parents myself. O last
18:29
Speaker 9: year I met one mother in particular, and she just
18:31
Speaker 9: burst into tears while we were speaking because it has
18:34
Speaker 9: just been so horrendous for them and to feel that,
18:38
Speaker 9: you know, the peak human rights body that is meant
18:40
Speaker 9: to be responsible for safeguarding the human rights of children,
18:44
Speaker 9: young people and all other Australians to have them fail
18:47
Speaker 9: them as well as the government for not having either
18:50
Speaker 9: stepped or even made a comment. Even if they don't
18:52
Speaker 9: feel that they can do something official they could say
18:55
Speaker 9: this isn't acceptable, but they don't they bury their heads
18:57
Speaker 9: in the sand and wait for so reviews take place. Well,
19:01
Speaker 9: there's already plenty of reviews, plenty of researchers come out,
19:05
Speaker 9: and I just think it's high time the action was
19:06
Speaker 9: taken in relation to this issue.
19:10
Speaker 4: Nay football team called Flying Bats FC made headlines two
19:15
Speaker 4: years ago when they won a women's football tournament with
19:18
Speaker 4: five transgender players in their team. That's men identifying as
19:22
Speaker 4: women in a soccer team. Now, unsurprisingly, they didn't drop
19:26
Speaker 4: a match that whole season undefeated, but some of those
19:29
Speaker 4: wins came from forfeits after some of the women refused
19:33
Speaker 4: to play against trans opponents. Now, Rachel Twogb's reporting that
19:38
Speaker 4: women in that competition have now been forced to sign
19:41
Speaker 4: an agreement which states they will be banned from staging
19:46
Speaker 4: silent protests about their inclusion. I mean, again, what is
19:52
Speaker 4: going on here? There is supposed to be a women's
19:54
Speaker 4: sporting competition.
19:57
Speaker 9: Look, this is the one issue that when I say
19:59
Speaker 9: to people that there has been a women's soccer team
20:01
Speaker 9: with around about half the players who are men claim
20:04
Speaker 9: to women, people are just absolutely shocked and discussed. And
20:07
Speaker 9: I think the fact that these women are now been
20:09
Speaker 9: banned from forfeiting. I think it's absolutely outrageous.
20:13
Speaker 3: Not only are they.
20:16
Speaker 9: Being put in a situation where their safety in fairness
20:18
Speaker 9: is compromised, they're not even allowed to protect their own
20:21
Speaker 9: safety in fairness. Now they're being forced to sign an
20:23
Speaker 9: agreement which is they're not going to forefooit against these teams.
20:26
Speaker 9: I just think it's absolute disgraceful. And the fact that
20:29
Speaker 9: the Olympics now has banned men in every women's competition
20:33
Speaker 9: I think should have sent a clear enough sign that
20:35
Speaker 9: every sporting body right down to the community level should
20:38
Speaker 9: be doing the same.
20:41
Speaker 4: And again, where is the Australian Human Rights Commission? If
20:43
Speaker 4: these women went to the Australian Human Rights Commission, they
20:46
Speaker 4: wouldn't get any assistance, would they, because we know where
20:50
Speaker 4: THEAHRC lies. We know they're captured by this trans ideology.
20:55
Speaker 4: But this is precisely the body that these women should
20:59
Speaker 4: be able to go to advocate for their rights.
21:03
Speaker 9: Absolutely, women and girls, female athletes in particular in this case,
21:08
Speaker 9: have been filed at every level, whether it be sporting bodies,
21:11
Speaker 9: the human rights institutions, the politicians. But you know, it
21:15
Speaker 9: really does come back to the politicians at the end.
21:17
Speaker 9: Of the day, because if they actually fixed our antidiscrimination
21:20
Speaker 9: laws at the federal level, this ex Discrimination Act, which
21:22
Speaker 9: will then filter down to the states and territories, then
21:25
Speaker 9: this could be fixed overnight. But because we are dealing
21:28
Speaker 9: with laws that are unclear and a lot of circumstances
21:32
Speaker 9: have deleted the biological definitions of man and women, sporting
21:35
Speaker 9: bodies are now scared to take a stand, and so
21:37
Speaker 9: I think RMPS could fix this overnight if they wanted to,
21:40
Speaker 9: But they don't because they are cowardly and are not
21:44
Speaker 9: clearly interested in the rights and safety of women and girls.
21:48
Speaker 3: I think, yeah, you summed it up.
21:51
Speaker 4: Their cowardice weakness. That's what this comes down to. Rachel Wong,
21:55
Speaker 4: thank you so much for your time. Tonight, still to come,
21:58
Speaker 4: lefties losing a plus. Donald Trump is hosting King Charles
22:02
Speaker 4: in DC and delivers what some are calling one of
22:05
Speaker 4: his best speeches ever. John Heindereiker is up next. You're
22:19
Speaker 4: watching the Reader Panney Show, and it's time for lefties
22:23
Speaker 4: losing it. You know what they say, if you want
22:25
Speaker 4: to make a conservative mad, lie to her. If you
22:28
Speaker 4: want to make a leftist mad, tell her the truth.
22:31
Speaker 4: And boy did Democrat Congresswoman Rosa Doloro get mad when
22:35
Speaker 4: EPA administrator Lee Zelden dared to drop some cold hard facts.
22:41
Speaker 4: This woman doesn't know the law, hasn't heard of the
22:44
Speaker 4: relevant landmark Supreme Court cases. This is sixty seconds that
22:49
Speaker 4: sums up the modern Democrats.
22:51
Speaker 12: Following the law section two or two of the Cleaner Act,
22:53
Speaker 12: where is the say anything about fighting global climate change?
22:58
Speaker 12: Loper Breit Supreme Court key familiar with it?
23:01
Speaker 5: No, I maybe others are not.
23:03
Speaker 3: But let me ask.
23:04
Speaker 12: But that's really important. As a member of Congress, Loper
23:06
Speaker 12: Bright says that we as an agency don't have the
23:10
Speaker 12: authority to get creative if section two or two of
23:12
Speaker 12: the Clean Air Act. No.
23:14
Speaker 5: No, but you don't have excuse me. You do not
23:16
Speaker 5: have the right to say climate change does not exist,
23:19
Speaker 5: that it's a hoax. And that's where this administration is something.
23:22
Speaker 12: You're upset that you don't know what, Loper brighte is.
23:24
Speaker 12: Do you know what the major policies doctrine?
23:26
Speaker 5: Except I'm upset because.
23:27
Speaker 12: You know what the major policies doctrine is. You're a
23:29
Speaker 12: member of Congress. You should know well whoa West Virginia
23:32
Speaker 12: versus No.
23:33
Speaker 5: You're here because you need money from us, So halt
23:35
Speaker 5: for the second and wait for the questions and answer
23:38
Speaker 5: the question.
23:39
Speaker 12: I answered your question. Do you e didn't like my
23:41
Speaker 12: answer because you don't know what Loperbright is, because you
23:43
Speaker 12: don't know what the Major Policies Doctrine is.
23:46
Speaker 4: DM me just emoging wildly compared to facts. Now, the
23:52
Speaker 4: bluehead Democrat got so I right that she at one
23:56
Speaker 4: point encouraged Lezelden to drink poison.
23:59
Speaker 12: I'm not kidding, holding up a cup saying life is it?
24:01
Speaker 12: You know, don't drink it, don't inject it.
24:05
Speaker 3: Maybe you should try doing that. Okay, excuse me, excuse me.
24:09
Speaker 4: Indeed, now I regret to inform you that bet Middler
24:12
Speaker 4: remember her, is singing about fascism and it's as awful
24:17
Speaker 4: as you think.
24:18
Speaker 3: Hey, they're pla fascist. Let me butch you straight. When
24:22
Speaker 3: you come bother rest of us, we'll fight you at
24:25
Speaker 3: the gate and you will.
24:26
Speaker 1: Lose you fascist bo Blues will battle eyes together.
24:32
Speaker 3: Until they cut them wrong.
24:34
Speaker 4: Now let's check on lefties wishing and hoping for President
24:38
Speaker 4: Trump's death.
24:39
Speaker 3: These people are sick.
24:42
Speaker 13: Send us that certificate so we can prove that that
24:45
Speaker 13: man is going to be ten feet under the ground
24:47
Speaker 13: and burning in hell before we all celebrate.
24:50
Speaker 3: Real shooters don't miss. So for any real suitors out there,
24:55
Speaker 3: just a couple of words of affirmations. Did you know
24:58
Speaker 3: you never missed? I look forward to turning on the
25:02
Speaker 3: news every morning to see if he's still here with us.
25:09
Speaker 3: How many of you do the same thing every day?
25:14
Speaker 11: My point was he has to die eventually.
25:16
Speaker 4: Right, It's almost like the left has a violence problem.
25:20
Speaker 4: Let's say now from Xavier du Rosso, who explains, it's
25:25
Speaker 4: always been the left that's had a violence problem, and
25:28
Speaker 4: it's always been the left attacking Republican presidents.
25:31
Speaker 13: So another radical left has tried to shoot Trump last night,
25:34
Speaker 13: and I think it's time that we have an honest
25:35
Speaker 13: conversation that the Democratic Party has not become violent. They've
25:38
Speaker 13: always been violent. Let's just unpack every president that has
25:41
Speaker 13: been shot and what their party affiliation was. Abraham Lincoln
25:45
Speaker 13: was a Republican. James A. Garfield was a Republican. William
25:48
Speaker 13: McKinley was a Republican. Theodore Roosevelt was a Republican. JFK
25:52
Speaker 13: was a Democrat, but a Kennedy Democrat we all now
25:55
Speaker 13: refer to as a modern Republican and guests who shot
25:58
Speaker 13: him a Marxist. The same ideology that's behind bom Ronald
26:02
Speaker 13: Reagan was a Republican and Donald Trump is a Republican.
26:05
Speaker 13: The same party that's constantly talking about taking away all
26:07
Speaker 13: of our guns is the same party that's constantly using
26:10
Speaker 13: them in the improper way.
26:12
Speaker 4: Now to former NBC anchor turned podcaster Chuck Todd, who
26:17
Speaker 4: somehow manages to blame Donald Trump for people trying to
26:21
Speaker 4: kill him.
26:21
Speaker 3: You see, the real victims are people like Chuck, not
26:24
Speaker 3: Donald Trump. It's Chuck's safety we have to worry about.
26:28
Speaker 14: I'm not going to any more events where Trump's at him.
26:30
Speaker 14: I don't feel safe. Wherever Donald Trumps follows him, chaos
26:34
Speaker 14: follows him, and you are less safe. Right, if you
26:37
Speaker 14: decide to go into his orbit, you have put you
26:39
Speaker 14: have become less safe if you he's just he does
26:42
Speaker 14: not care about your safety. He's not going to protect
26:44
Speaker 14: you if you go into his orbit, because he's always
26:47
Speaker 14: going to protect himself.
26:48
Speaker 3: First, just when you.
26:49
Speaker 4: Think the media has hit rock bottom, they find new lows.
26:54
Speaker 4: And the media hasn't just helped create monsters like Thomas
26:58
Speaker 4: Matthew Crooks, Ryan Wesley Ruth Austin, Tucker Martin remember him
27:02
Speaker 4: and Cole Thomas Allen with their relentless anti Trump hate
27:07
Speaker 4: and hysteria. They also lie and gaslight the population, claiming
27:11
Speaker 4: the side that is consistently violent is peaceful, and it's
27:16
Speaker 4: the right who are guilty of political violence. Here is
27:19
Speaker 4: ms NOW anchor Nicole Wallace.
27:21
Speaker 11: The permission structure for violence. You've got polls about political
27:25
Speaker 11: violence Democrats still think is a good idea. Only Republicans,
27:28
Speaker 11: only people inclined to consume conservative media are now. I
27:31
Speaker 11: think upward of fifty percent say that if necessary violence
27:34
Speaker 11: is okay, You've only got the conduct on one of
27:37
Speaker 11: the two sides.
27:39
Speaker 4: Just pure lies, junk activists, starter and lies. And she
27:44
Speaker 4: knew they were lies, just like CNN's Jake Taba knew
27:47
Speaker 4: the Fine People hoax he pushed over and over again
27:50
Speaker 4: was a lie from day one. Now, we recently learned
27:53
Speaker 4: of the role the hard left Southern Poverty Law Center
27:56
Speaker 4: played in Charlottesville, but the Fine People hoax was a
28:00
Speaker 4: parent from day one, and yet Jake Tapper, CNN's Jake
28:04
Speaker 4: Tappa kept pushing that lie that Donald Trump had called
28:08
Speaker 4: white supremacists very fine people, and a special thank you
28:12
Speaker 4: to May is More for this superb little compilation.
28:15
Speaker 15: Very fine people, president Trump said, as he drew a
28:18
Speaker 15: line of moral equivalents between white supremacists and those who
28:22
Speaker 15: protested the white supremacists. This is a president who said
28:25
Speaker 15: there were quote, very fine people on both sides in
28:28
Speaker 15: a Charlottesville neo Nazi clan march white supremacists. The president
28:33
Speaker 15: seems to struggle when called upon too specifically and unequivocally
28:37
Speaker 15: criticize those groups. Now, the moral equivalents and refusal to
28:40
Speaker 15: single out this particular vile crowd of bigot spewing hatred
28:44
Speaker 15: by name. A lot of people think that he has
28:47
Speaker 15: a soft spot in his heart for or at least
28:50
Speaker 15: won't condemn white supremacists. And there's this big effort by
28:54
Speaker 15: Trump supporters to pretend that the President didn't say what
28:58
Speaker 15: he said, to call this all a hope.
29:00
Speaker 4: Yeah, we called it a hoax, you big fat liar,
29:03
Speaker 4: Because it was a hoax. Trump did unequivocally condemn the
29:07
Speaker 4: white supremacists and Nazis. The fine people the President referred
29:10
Speaker 4: to were those marching to preserve a statue that was.
29:14
Speaker 3: Being torn down.
29:15
Speaker 4: His condemnation of the white supremacist was crystal clear.
29:20
Speaker 16: And you had people and I'm not talking about the
29:22
Speaker 16: neo Nazis and the white nationalists because they should be
29:25
Speaker 16: condemned totally, but you had many people in that group
29:29
Speaker 16: other than neo Nazis and white nationalists.
29:32
Speaker 4: Let's bring in the Center for the American Experiment president
29:36
Speaker 4: and co founder of the popular power Line blog, John
29:39
Speaker 4: heinderaka John Jake Tappa is many things, but he is
29:43
Speaker 4: not stupid, nor is he suffering from selective amnesia. He
29:47
Speaker 4: and many others in the media kept pushing these sorts
29:52
Speaker 4: of lies for a reason. And when you read Cole
29:55
Speaker 4: Allen's manifesto, it's strikingly similar to what you hear from
30:00
Speaker 4: the media and activist class, even on mainstream outlets.
30:05
Speaker 17: Yeah, that is what jumps out at you about Cole
30:08
Speaker 17: Allen's manifesto. Alan called President Trump a pedophile, a rapist,
30:13
Speaker 17: and a trader. That is what you read about Trump
30:16
Speaker 17: every day on social media and often in the press.
30:20
Speaker 17: Those claims are false and actually insane. But George Stephanopolis
30:24
Speaker 17: called Trump a rapist on television, and that is why
30:28
Speaker 17: ABC settled Trump's defamation claim. In terms of ideology, cale
30:34
Speaker 17: Allen is a mainstream Democrat.
30:39
Speaker 4: Well, people say, how was this teacher radicalized?
30:42
Speaker 3: And you could put forward the notion he.
30:45
Speaker 4: Was radicalized watching MS now and CNNCBS and just about
30:50
Speaker 4: every other mainstream media outlet. Now today, John King Charles
30:55
Speaker 4: is in DC, and President Trump seems thrilled to be
30:58
Speaker 4: hosting the monarch.
31:00
Speaker 18: You're going over to Congress and you're going to make
31:03
Speaker 18: a speech that's going to make everybody very envious of
31:06
Speaker 18: that beautiful accent of yours, very elegant. He's a very
31:10
Speaker 18: elegant man.
31:13
Speaker 3: He loves the accent.
31:15
Speaker 4: And the President acknowledged America's proud colonial past.
31:20
Speaker 18: American patriots today can sing my country tis of the
31:25
Speaker 18: sweet land of liberty only because our colonial ancestors first
31:32
Speaker 18: saying God Save the King.
31:37
Speaker 4: John somewhat cooling it among prison Trump's best speeches, how
31:40
Speaker 4: did you say it? Reader?
31:43
Speaker 17: I think Trump's best speeches are generally the ones you
31:46
Speaker 17: actually listen to, as opposed to reading a sentence fragm
31:50
Speaker 17: up the next day in a newspaper. Trump is generally
31:53
Speaker 17: much more gracious than the press gives him credit for.
31:56
Speaker 17: And let's just spell the myth that Trump is somehow
32:00
Speaker 17: anti Briton or anti NATO. In fact, he has a
32:03
Speaker 17: longtime angler file. As he has expressed many times, it
32:08
Speaker 17: was Trump, remember who returned Winston Churchill's bus to the
32:12
Speaker 17: Oval office.
32:15
Speaker 4: Well, there was a bit of mischief also from the President.
32:19
Speaker 4: For the White House trolled the left with this image.
32:23
Speaker 4: I have a look at this King Charles and President
32:26
Speaker 4: Trump together and the caption reads two kings, John. That
32:30
Speaker 4: is going to enrage the perpetually outraged American left, even war.
32:37
Speaker 17: That's very funny. Liberals can't deal with the fact that
32:41
Speaker 17: Trump has a sense of humor. And by the way,
32:43
Speaker 17: unlike Jimmy Kimball, his jokes are actually funny. But you're right, reader,
32:48
Speaker 17: all they do is enrage the liberals.
32:51
Speaker 4: Now, let's talk about the war against Iran and President
32:54
Speaker 4: Trump overnight posts that this update. He said, Iran has
32:58
Speaker 4: just informed us that are in a state of collapse.
33:02
Speaker 4: They want us to open the hole moves straight as
33:05
Speaker 4: soon as possible as they try to figure out their
33:08
Speaker 4: leadership situation, which I believe they will be able to do.
33:12
Speaker 3: Thank you for attention to this matter, John.
33:14
Speaker 4: What can the US do to finalize this conflict now
33:18
Speaker 4: that it has achieved its military goals when you do
33:21
Speaker 4: have a regime that's fractioned well.
33:25
Speaker 17: Trump apparently is hoping that as it ran near his
33:28
Speaker 17: economic collapse, the remnants of the regime will be willing
33:31
Speaker 17: to make some kind of a deal that would involve
33:34
Speaker 17: turning over their nuclear material and some kind of agreement
33:37
Speaker 17: for monitoring to prevent future work on nuclear weapons. But
33:40
Speaker 17: if that doesn't happen soon, I'm not sure that there
33:43
Speaker 17: is anything more that we can do. The way this
33:46
Speaker 17: conflict would really be finalized is if the regime were overthrown.
33:50
Speaker 17: That's what we all want, but I don't think we
33:52
Speaker 17: can make it happen without committing a lot of ground troops,
33:55
Speaker 17: which isn't going to happen. So I go back to
33:57
Speaker 17: the idea that if a deal isn't struck soon, it
34:00
Speaker 17: will be time to declare victory and bring most of
34:03
Speaker 17: our troops home.
34:05
Speaker 4: John, is there anything America and its allies can do
34:08
Speaker 4: to help with regime change? And there's talks at some
34:12
Speaker 4: point of sending arms to the Iranian people to help
34:16
Speaker 4: them overthrow this regime. Is there anything that can be
34:20
Speaker 4: done to fast track this process?
34:23
Speaker 17: Read? I hate to say it, but using only air
34:25
Speaker 17: power it's very tough. You really need men on the
34:28
Speaker 17: ground to affect regime change. Now, it might be that
34:32
Speaker 17: if we started bombing power plants and bridges, like Trump
34:35
Speaker 17: was threatening to do at one point, maybe that would
34:37
Speaker 17: stimulate a rebellion. But the fact is the IRGC has
34:41
Speaker 17: all the weapons and that makes it very difficult for
34:44
Speaker 17: the Iranian people to rebel.
34:48
Speaker 4: Well, let's hear it from Sectuary of State Marco Rubio,
34:51
Speaker 4: who talks here about who holds the ultimate power in
34:55
Speaker 4: the regime.
34:57
Speaker 19: Unfortunately, the hardliners with an apocalyptic vision of the future
35:01
Speaker 19: have the ultimate power in that country. That tension has
35:04
Speaker 19: always existed there always. I think it's pronounced now that
35:07
Speaker 19: you have a supreme leader whose credibility is still untested,
35:10
Speaker 19: whose access is questionable, who has not been seen visibly publicly,
35:14
Speaker 19: is not spoken, we have not heard his voice, So
35:16
Speaker 19: I think that creates tension in the system as well.
35:20
Speaker 3: Jonna, what power does the supreme leader have?
35:23
Speaker 4: And if the hardline is in Iran, who've got a
35:27
Speaker 4: death wish hold the power, how can the US ever
35:29
Speaker 4: really convince them to stop fighting?
35:33
Speaker 17: Well, Rubio is clearly right, the IRGC is in control.
35:37
Speaker 17: The most you can say for the Ayatola is that
35:39
Speaker 17: he probably is alive. But you know, when you say
35:42
Speaker 17: stop fighting, the reality is they aren't really fighting. They're
35:46
Speaker 17: just hanging on, trying to survive. And unfortunately, as long
35:49
Speaker 17: as these remnants of the regime managed to survive, they
35:53
Speaker 17: probably stay in power.
35:57
Speaker 4: Now, let's hear from Acting Attorney General Todd blanche on
36:01
Speaker 4: the charges that have been brought against James Comy, of course,
36:05
Speaker 4: the former director of the FBI.
36:07
Speaker 2: Today a grand jury sitting in the Eastern District of
36:10
Speaker 2: North Carolina returned an indictment against James call Me on
36:14
Speaker 2: two counts. The first count is in honor about May
36:18
Speaker 2: fifteenth of last year, he knowingly and willfully making a
36:22
Speaker 2: threat to take the life of and to inflict bodily
36:25
Speaker 2: harm upon the President of the United States. Count two,
36:29
Speaker 2: same day, May fifteenth, twenty twenty five, that the defendant
36:33
Speaker 2: James call Me, knowingly and willfully transmitting in interstate commerce
36:37
Speaker 2: a communication that contained a threat to kill the President
36:41
Speaker 2: of the United.
36:42
Speaker 4: States John These all stem from that eight six four
36:48
Speaker 4: seven post, which prosecutors say was a coded call to
36:51
Speaker 4: take out Trump. And these aren't frivolous chargers. They carry
36:56
Speaker 4: a ten year jail.
36:57
Speaker 17: Term famous seashells by the Sea Shore. I think Coleman's
37:04
Speaker 17: term as FBI director was a disgrace, but I am
37:07
Speaker 17: not on board with this prosecution. I think posting eighty
37:11
Speaker 17: six forty seven means that call me hates Trump and
37:14
Speaker 17: would like to see him dead. But I don't think
37:17
Speaker 17: it was a threat that call me himself was going
37:20
Speaker 17: to come after Trump. I don't think anyone believed that
37:23
Speaker 17: at the time. But that is what he's charged with,
37:27
Speaker 17: and I don't think it is going to stick.
37:31
Speaker 4: There is an appetite, though, amongst the right for some
37:35
Speaker 4: sort of accountability, reckoning, equal treatment, whatever you want to
37:39
Speaker 4: call it, for those who have behaved in this way,
37:42
Speaker 4: because we saw during the Biden years people being having
37:48
Speaker 4: their lives ruined on Trump up charges and sometimes on
37:51
Speaker 4: just completely frivolous grounds.
37:54
Speaker 3: So how does.
37:55
Speaker 4: President Trump manage those expectations where people want to see
37:59
Speaker 4: some of these people who weaponized agencies like the FBI
38:05
Speaker 4: against their own population to pay some sort of a price.
38:10
Speaker 17: Yeah, it's a great question. The right absolutely does want
38:13
Speaker 17: to see some retribution against these people, but you got
38:16
Speaker 17: to have solid charges. Now. John Brennan, for example, former
38:20
Speaker 17: CIA director is under a criminal investigation. I'm not sure
38:23
Speaker 17: exactly where that stands. I think that one might stick.
38:26
Speaker 17: He committed perjury. The statute ran the first time, but
38:30
Speaker 17: I think you may have done it again and he
38:32
Speaker 17: may be vulnerable to a perjury charge. So I think
38:34
Speaker 17: Trump and his DOJ Department of Justice just need to
38:37
Speaker 17: be very careful about making sure they are bringing strong
38:42
Speaker 17: charges against these people, because if the charges fail, then
38:45
Speaker 17: they're just going to claim vindication.
38:48
Speaker 4: Now, before you go, let's look at this poll that
38:51
Speaker 4: was released overnight showing that Kamala Harris is the hot
38:56
Speaker 4: favorite to be the next Democrat presidential candidate, well in
39:00
Speaker 4: front in that poll, fifty percent, head of Gavin newsm
39:04
Speaker 4: on twenty two. We've got Shapiro there, the Pennsylvania governor
39:08
Speaker 4: on nine percent, AOC.
39:09
Speaker 3: Coming in an eight percent. God forbid.
39:12
Speaker 4: That's just a great news for jd Vance or Marco Rubio,
39:16
Speaker 4: whoever ends up being the Republican candidate.
39:19
Speaker 3: John.
39:21
Speaker 17: Yeah, the Democrats bench is very thin, no doubt about it.
39:23
Speaker 17: Partly it's just a lack of talent, but I think
39:26
Speaker 17: it's also the result of the Democrats devoting themselves to
39:30
Speaker 17: hating Trump and having no real positive program. I think
39:34
Speaker 17: that's one of the reasons why none of their people
39:37
Speaker 17: have much stature with the borders, and I think it
39:39
Speaker 17: puts them in a real hall and they have to
39:41
Speaker 17: run against somebody else in twenty twenty eight.
39:45
Speaker 3: Do you think they will.
39:49
Speaker 4: Back Kamala Harris again? I mean, her campaign was a disaster.
39:54
Speaker 4: She outspent the Trump campaign. I can't even remember the figures,
39:58
Speaker 4: but it was something like three to one or four
40:01
Speaker 4: to one. Just completely blew all that money, all that goodwill,
40:05
Speaker 4: all that positive press. To lose every swing state, to
40:09
Speaker 4: lose the popular vote, to lose in a landslide.
40:12
Speaker 3: Would they go with her again?
40:15
Speaker 17: There is absolutely no way that the Democrats nominated Tamala
40:19
Speaker 17: Harris again. She was a disaster and they know it.
40:22
Speaker 17: You know what they may want to do, read and
40:24
Speaker 17: watch for this. They may want to come up with
40:27
Speaker 17: someone with the fresh face that no one's heard of.
40:30
Speaker 17: That's what they did with Bill Clinton in nineteen ninety
40:33
Speaker 17: two and it worked. I think that might be their
40:35
Speaker 17: best strategy for twenty twenty eight.
40:39
Speaker 4: Some unknown who is who doesn't just have a littleary
40:43
Speaker 4: of failures behind them. John hinderaka thank you so much
40:47
Speaker 4: for your time tonight still to come. The real reason
40:50
Speaker 4: why ABC should sack Jimmy Kimmel. It's got nothing to
40:54
Speaker 4: do with that stupid joke. Michael Lofts is up next.
41:06
Speaker 4: Welcome back. Joining me now is writer and comedian Michael Loftus.
41:11
Speaker 4: Michael some revelations on the future of Jimmy Kimmel after
41:16
Speaker 4: his gross and unfunny joke about Milania becoming a widow,
41:20
Speaker 4: and ABC sources toll Page six network is sticking by
41:25
Speaker 4: Kimmel and doesn't plan to suspend him, fire him, or
41:28
Speaker 4: cancel the show. The insider confirmed it's back to taping
41:33
Speaker 4: per usual.
41:34
Speaker 3: They're moving on. Is this the right call by ABC? Michael?
41:39
Speaker 10: I have to think that that ABC is just using
41:43
Speaker 10: the Kimmel Show as a tax right off at this point.
41:46
Speaker 10: I mean, they're spending a fortune on this and they're
41:49
Speaker 10: getting nothing back. They might just go to their accountants
41:51
Speaker 10: and go, we're losing a fortune. That's where that's where
41:54
Speaker 10: we lost all their money. ABC. They should have fired
41:57
Speaker 10: him after the Charlie Kirk thing. This guy's he's untouchable.
42:02
Speaker 10: I don't know what the appeal of Jimmy Kimmel is
42:05
Speaker 10: to me. He breaks the number one rule of comedy.
42:08
Speaker 10: He's boring. It's boring and predictable. He would be I
42:12
Speaker 10: wouldn't believe Jimmy Kimmel Moore. If he worked at a
42:15
Speaker 10: used sporting goods store there, he'd be like, Oh, there's
42:18
Speaker 10: Jimmy Kimmel, my friend. He's gonna sell me a basketball.
42:22
Speaker 10: But right now he's just as a comedian. He should
42:25
Speaker 10: probably tap out and find another line of work.
42:29
Speaker 4: Well, the President and the First Lady have called for
42:32
Speaker 4: him to be sacked, but really it should be the
42:34
Speaker 4: shareholders calling for him to be sacked because the show
42:38
Speaker 4: has to be.
42:38
Speaker 3: Losing a fortune.
42:41
Speaker 4: It's not just that he's painfully unfunny, but you look
42:44
Speaker 4: at the ratings.
42:45
Speaker 3: This show is failing on every metric.
42:48
Speaker 4: He's coming in third again on viewership, way behind Fox
42:53
Speaker 4: News's Gutfeld. He's even trailing the soon to be canceled
42:57
Speaker 4: Stephen Colbert on CBS. So could they justify keeping him
43:02
Speaker 4: on given he's got a massive workforce.
43:05
Speaker 3: This isn't a show that's cheap to produce.
43:10
Speaker 10: Yeah, I don't know who ABC. Maybe ABC stands for
43:14
Speaker 10: another boring comedian. Maybe that's their new mantra. But what like,
43:19
Speaker 10: if they canceled Kimmel, how many people are going to
43:22
Speaker 10: be disappointed? Five fifteen. It's not like there's gonna be
43:26
Speaker 10: a big letter writing campaign get Jimmy back on the
43:29
Speaker 10: air and thoughts and prayers up right now, there's an
43:33
Speaker 10: editor that has to put together the highlights of every
43:37
Speaker 10: Jimmy Kimmel episode, and that poor soul's got nothing.
43:43
Speaker 4: Oh no, well, I tell you one person who would
43:45
Speaker 4: be disappointed would be his wife, who.
43:47
Speaker 3: Apparently is the head writer on that program.
43:50
Speaker 4: So just imagine what a barrel laughs, it is in
43:52
Speaker 4: that household. Now, let's talk about the courtroom showdown between
43:58
Speaker 4: Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively. It's approaching. It's going to
44:01
Speaker 4: be scheduled for next month. Lawyers for the former co
44:05
Speaker 4: stars have been hashing out key pre trial issues before
44:09
Speaker 4: a federal judge, and it's already getting messy. Lively has
44:13
Speaker 4: argued Baldonian others damaged to her public reputation, which has
44:17
Speaker 4: caused her brands to take a beating. Michael, She's losing
44:22
Speaker 4: money because of these rumors, she claims.
44:26
Speaker 10: Yeah, and I'm over here scratching my head going hold on.
44:31
Speaker 10: Blake Lively has a business. I would shock. I guess
44:36
Speaker 10: she had. She had a booze. She was selling some
44:38
Speaker 10: kind of liquor and it was called Betty Buzz. So
44:44
Speaker 10: I don't think she has a bright future in business. Well,
44:47
Speaker 10: when if you're selling something called Betty Buzz that seems
44:51
Speaker 10: like a like an adult sex toy more than it
44:54
Speaker 10: does some kind of liquor that you'd order at a bar.
44:57
Speaker 10: If somebody orders a Betty Buzz, sometime's going to be buzzing.
45:03
Speaker 3: Oh dear, well, you know what.
45:05
Speaker 4: You may be asked to join Baldoni's legal team because
45:08
Speaker 4: his lawyers have made similar arguments, saying that Blake Lively
45:12
Speaker 4: has a poor track record of running businesses and that
45:15
Speaker 4: they fail because Billy people don't like her.
45:18
Speaker 19: Now.
45:19
Speaker 4: Russell Brand of the British comedian AP peered on Piers
45:23
Speaker 4: Morgan's program where he admitted to sleeping with a sixteen
45:28
Speaker 4: year old when he was thirty years of age. But
45:31
Speaker 4: he says he's not afraid of the truth.
45:33
Speaker 3: Listen to this.
45:35
Speaker 20: We are going to find out the truth and we're
45:37
Speaker 20: going to deal with the truth because actually I am
45:40
Speaker 20: not afraid of the truth, and if the truth is
45:43
Speaker 20: I am going to prison. Then I'm i My job
45:48
Speaker 20: will be do not be afraid of that truth. That
45:50
Speaker 20: is what you are going to do.
45:53
Speaker 4: Michael, what did you make of that interview? I got
45:56
Speaker 4: to say I thought his interview with Megan Kelly was
45:59
Speaker 4: much more compelling and she hit him hard on some
46:02
Speaker 4: of these issues.
46:04
Speaker 3: But yeah, what was your point of view?
46:07
Speaker 11: Well?
46:07
Speaker 10: I find it interesting that all of these allegations, in
46:11
Speaker 10: these tawdry sex stories, they're coming out like twenty years later,
46:16
Speaker 10: and this is like either in nineteen ninety nine or
46:19
Speaker 10: two thousand and ninety's. It's just it's that whole thing
46:22
Speaker 10: where people are like, oh, he's very rich, he's very wealthy,
46:25
Speaker 10: he's got a voice in politics. I'm gonna sue now.
46:30
Speaker 10: And for Russell, he looks like Russell Brand when he talks,
46:34
Speaker 10: always looks like he's a juggler who's waiting for the
46:37
Speaker 10: balls to drop. It's like every time you see Russell,
46:40
Speaker 10: he looks like I was just juggling a moment ago
46:43
Speaker 10: and nothing's happened. So I wish him the best. I
46:47
Speaker 10: think his heart's in the right place. But the whole thing,
46:50
Speaker 10: it was hilarious when he was flipping through the Bible
46:53
Speaker 10: looking for the Bible quote. It went on for like
46:55
Speaker 10: ninety seconds. He was pretending like he couldn't find it.
46:59
Speaker 10: That was the funniest thing I'd seen in eg you
47:02
Speaker 10: reckon that was it? You think that he was pretending
47:05
Speaker 10: he couldn't find it.
47:05
Speaker 3: He knew where he was and he.
47:07
Speaker 10: Come on, Russell brand Is he's so out there about
47:11
Speaker 10: his faith and just it was like watching Andy Kaufman
47:15
Speaker 10: from taxi just pretending, Oh, it's right here, let me go.
47:19
Speaker 11: Oh.
47:19
Speaker 10: It just went on and on. It was.
47:21
Speaker 3: It was wonderful.
47:23
Speaker 4: Was that Isaiah Ezekiel was It was one where there
47:27
Speaker 4: were a you know, a thousand to pick from and vah.
47:30
Speaker 3: You would think if it was one that was that
47:32
Speaker 3: important to him, it wouldn't take that long to locate it.
47:35
Speaker 3: That is interesting.
47:36
Speaker 4: I'm going to go back and watch that and see
47:38
Speaker 4: if that was a bit he was doing. Now, another
47:42
Speaker 4: bombshell scandal for Katie Perry.
47:45
Speaker 3: Her Teenage Dream co.
47:47
Speaker 4: Star Josh Kloss says he carried silent trauma with him
47:52
Speaker 4: since the pop star allegedly exposed his penis at a
47:55
Speaker 4: party without his consent nearly fourteen years ago, and an
47:59
Speaker 4: exclusive interview with Page six, he recounted how he attended
48:03
Speaker 4: a party with Katy Perry in twenty twelve, two years
48:07
Speaker 4: after they worked together for that music video, and Klaus
48:11
Speaker 4: went to the party with a friend and as it
48:13
Speaker 4: was introducing the friend, Michael, he claims Katy Perry pulled
48:17
Speaker 4: down his pants and underwear, exposing his penis. Klaus said
48:22
Speaker 4: he immediately freaked out, while Katy Perry just laughed and laughed. Now,
48:28
Speaker 4: I know you're probably going to make light of this,
48:30
Speaker 4: but people would say this is a serious issue and
48:34
Speaker 4: they can understand why this man is carrying some trauma.
48:38
Speaker 10: Yeah, but like once you start calling it like like
48:42
Speaker 10: trauma and Katy Perry, we're seeing a weird track. She's
48:46
Speaker 10: got like a little pattern. Now she's accused of putting
48:49
Speaker 10: her groin and some other girl's face, and now she's
48:52
Speaker 10: like exposing this guy at parties. This is behavior that
48:56
Speaker 10: is unbecoming of an astronaut. I don't think she's gonna
49:00
Speaker 10: be writing any more rockets to outer Space. She's more
49:04
Speaker 10: like Katie's scary. Now, if this is me, if this
49:07
Speaker 10: is me and my old girlfriend yangs down my pants
49:11
Speaker 10: at a party, I'm going to say it was traumatic,
49:13
Speaker 10: but not for me, for everyone else at that party,
49:16
Speaker 10: they're like, WHOA, that's trauma.
49:21
Speaker 4: That's somehow you manage to get out of that without
49:26
Speaker 4: digging too big a hole there. I think we're safe, Michael,
49:29
Speaker 4: Michael Lofts, thank you so much for your time tonight,
49:32
Speaker 4: and that's all the time we have. I'll see you
49:35
Speaker 4: at eleven tomorrow night, but don't go anywhere. Newsnight is
49:38
Speaker 4: up next
