0:05
Speaker 2: This is the Reader Paney Show.
0:09
Speaker 3: Good evening and welcome to the Reader Panegy Show. Coming
0:12
Speaker 3: up tonight, Voters deliver their verdict on Labour's budget and
0:15
Speaker 3: the news is not good for the Albanezy government. Dan
0:19
Speaker 3: While will join me to cover the day's top headlines.
0:22
Speaker 3: A massive step back for women's rights and biological reality
0:26
Speaker 3: with a federal course ruling on the Giggle v. Tickle case.
0:30
Speaker 3: Stephanie Bastian will be here to discuss that. Josh Hammer
0:33
Speaker 3: will have the latest from the US, including the incredible
0:36
Speaker 3: primary results in Louisiana. Kinsey's Schofield will have royal and
0:41
Speaker 3: entertainment news, including Spencer Pratt's brutal takedown of Chelsea Handler
0:47
Speaker 3: and Left He's Losing It features this classic mother and
0:50
Speaker 3: son team.
0:51
Speaker 4: So why are you here? Roshie?
0:53
Speaker 3: What's you feel about?
0:53
Speaker 5: Tommy Robinson?
0:56
Speaker 3: Robson Ayday? But first, Labour's big taxing budget has been
1:08
Speaker 3: rated the worse for the economy since nineteen ninety three,
1:12
Speaker 3: with expectations it will cause significant financial pain while doing
1:16
Speaker 3: little to curb inflation or address the nation's housing crisis.
1:21
Speaker 3: A post budget Newspop found forty seven percent of voters
1:25
Speaker 3: believe the budget will be bad for the Australian economy,
1:28
Speaker 3: Only twenty two percent think it will be a positive,
1:32
Speaker 3: and fifty two percent of Australians expect to be personally
1:36
Speaker 3: worse off. Significant fears among renters too, the group the
1:40
Speaker 3: government claims to be helping to enter the property market.
1:44
Speaker 3: Only one in ten renters expect to be better off
1:47
Speaker 3: with this budget. Despite the negative reaction to the budget,
1:51
Speaker 3: Labour's primary vote has remained at thirty one percent, the
1:55
Speaker 3: Coalition has dropped a point to twenty percent, and One
1:59
Speaker 3: Nation has jumped from twenty four percent to twenty seven percent.
2:03
Speaker 3: Joining me now is Deputy Executive director at the Institute
2:07
Speaker 3: of Public Affairs, Daniel wild Dan. The reaction to this
2:11
Speaker 3: budget must be alarming to the alban Easy government. To
2:14
Speaker 3: give you an idea of how badly it's been received,
2:18
Speaker 3: it has a minus a negative twenty five net approval rating.
2:23
Speaker 3: The infamous austerity budget under Joe Hockey in twenty fourteen
2:28
Speaker 3: that had a minus nine rating. This one's minus twenty five.
2:34
Speaker 6: Yeah.
2:35
Speaker 7: Well, I think this may very well be Jim Chalmer's
2:38
Speaker 7: last budget unless they're able to rescue it. It really
2:41
Speaker 7: has gone down like a lead balloon. And it's not
2:44
Speaker 7: surprising for a couple of reasons. One is obviously the
2:46
Speaker 7: negative impacts of the policies they have. But secondly, and
2:50
Speaker 7: more importantly, the budget has failed to recognize or deal
2:55
Speaker 7: with the big challenges facing Australia's future. For example, it's
2:59
Speaker 7: doubling down on the mass migration program, which is the
3:03
Speaker 7: single biggest cause of housing unaffordability in Australia today. It
3:08
Speaker 7: is doing nothing about our amnemic economic growth. It is
3:11
Speaker 7: doing nothing about productivity. It does nothing to bring down
3:14
Speaker 7: the debt, it does nothing to bring down spending. In
3:17
Speaker 7: other words, it's doing nothing to address the big long
3:20
Speaker 7: term problems Australia faces. And so Australians aren't dumb, and
3:24
Speaker 7: young Australians aren't dumb. They know when they're being misled.
3:28
Speaker 7: And that's exactly what this budget does and that's why
3:31
Speaker 7: it hasn't landed with the Australian public.
3:34
Speaker 3: Now, the Australian Newspaper has identified three political miscalculations that
3:39
Speaker 3: Treasurer Jim Chalm has made with this budget. The government
3:43
Speaker 3: thinks jen Z has given up on an aspiration It
3:46
Speaker 3: believes generation EXA Millennials won't feel betrayed by this budget,
3:51
Speaker 3: and this budget unintentionally favors baby boomers. Dan, what do
3:56
Speaker 3: you make of that analysis?
4:00
Speaker 7: I think it's pretty fair assessment. I also think this
4:02
Speaker 7: is what happens when you frame a budget for political benefit. Clearly,
4:07
Speaker 7: what they've been doing is triangulating, trying to pay off
4:11
Speaker 7: different groups demographically. What the country wants and what the
4:15
Speaker 7: country needs is a budget for the country. You know,
4:18
Speaker 7: a budget that will actually address the problems Australia faces,
4:22
Speaker 7: not trying to buy off each group in order to
4:25
Speaker 7: win votes at the next election. I think when you
4:28
Speaker 7: look at the younger generation, as I said before, they're
4:32
Speaker 7: not stupid. They know that these changes are not going
4:35
Speaker 7: to make any meaningful, meaningful difference. Even if you support
4:38
Speaker 7: the negative gearing and capital gains tax changes, by the
4:42
Speaker 7: budget's own admission, it's going to do almost nothing to
4:45
Speaker 7: change housing supply in the country. So if you're targeting
4:49
Speaker 7: housing supply, if you're targeting the ability of Australians to
4:53
Speaker 7: get in their own home, guess what you've got to do.
4:56
Speaker 7: You've got to cut immigration and build more houses. This
4:59
Speaker 7: budget does.
4:59
Speaker 3: Not, It doesn't and I would argue it does impact supply,
5:05
Speaker 3: but in a negative way because you are pulling investors
5:09
Speaker 3: out of the market. You're reducing incentive for property developers
5:14
Speaker 3: to build more because they have a smaller market to
5:18
Speaker 3: be selling to. Now, the capital gains tax issue, Let's
5:22
Speaker 3: have a look at some of the global rates. Let's
5:25
Speaker 3: have a look at what companies individuals would be paying
5:31
Speaker 3: in tax for investment gains across the country. Across the world,
5:35
Speaker 3: You've got New Zealand and Singapore zero tax on investment gains,
5:43
Speaker 3: Canada twenty seven, UK twenty to twenty four US twenty
5:47
Speaker 3: Australia the minimum rate DAN thirty forty seven percent is
5:52
Speaker 3: going to be the norm for a lot of people.
5:56
Speaker 3: Why would it you invest in Australia if you've got
5:59
Speaker 3: other options?
6:01
Speaker 7: Well, exactly right, And this is just one piece of
6:04
Speaker 7: the puzzle. I mean, on top of the high taxing regime,
6:07
Speaker 7: we also have a lot of regulation and red tape
6:10
Speaker 7: which makes it very hard for people invest. We've also
6:13
Speaker 7: got massive energy costs now, which is something that historically
6:16
Speaker 7: has been a competitive competitive advantage of Australia's it's now
6:19
Speaker 7: a competitive disadvantage. So you add all of this up
6:22
Speaker 7: and you're exactly right, why would you invest in this country?
6:25
Speaker 7: And increasingly people are saying they won't invest in Australia.
6:28
Speaker 7: As a matter of fact, if you look at new
6:30
Speaker 7: private sector investment in our economy as a share of
6:33
Speaker 7: the total economy, it is at a near record low,
6:36
Speaker 7: or at least as far back as the digitized records
6:38
Speaker 7: go to the nineteen seventies. So we need more investment,
6:41
Speaker 7: not less. But everything in this budget pushes it in
6:45
Speaker 7: the other direction.
6:48
Speaker 3: Now, after Angus Taylor's budget reply, nine hosts Sarah Abbo
6:53
Speaker 3: accused the opposition leader of blaming migrants for Australia's housing crisis,
6:57
Speaker 3: and she also claim that anyone in Australia who is
7:01
Speaker 3: not Indigenous is a migrant. Let's have a look.
7:05
Speaker 8: You're tying migration to housing, but what are you doing
7:07
Speaker 8: about the current situation for Australians right now? Who, by
7:10
Speaker 8: the way, apart from Indigenous Australians, are all migrants. You're
7:12
Speaker 8: talking about migrants being the people who are causing this
7:14
Speaker 8: housing problem.
7:15
Speaker 3: Dan your response.
7:16
Speaker 7: To that, well, I was born here, does that make
7:23
Speaker 7: me a migrant? I mean what other country do I
7:25
Speaker 7: have to go to?
7:26
Speaker 3: According to Channel Mine host Sarah Abbo, you are you're
7:30
Speaker 3: a migrant. Unless you're Indigenous, then you're a migrant. Even
7:34
Speaker 3: if you've been here six seven generations, even if you
7:37
Speaker 3: were born here, even if no other country is yours,
7:42
Speaker 3: you're not authentically Australian, I guess in her eyes.
7:47
Speaker 7: Yeah, so I think it's a strange way of looking
7:49
Speaker 7: at it. Obviously, migration is one of the big pressures
7:53
Speaker 7: on housing. I'm not saying it's the only one. I
7:56
Speaker 7: don't think that's what Angus Taylor was saying in his
7:58
Speaker 7: budgeting reply address either. But obviously if the government is
8:03
Speaker 7: committing to bring in another one point two million people
8:06
Speaker 7: into the country, you don't reckon that might effect housing affordability.
8:11
Speaker 4: Of course it does.
8:12
Speaker 7: Saying that is not scapeguarding migrants, because, as I've said before,
8:16
Speaker 7: were the greatest nation on Earth. I don't blame migrants
8:19
Speaker 7: who wanted to come here. In fact, every single mirgrant
8:21
Speaker 7: that does want to come here is a vote of
8:23
Speaker 7: confidence in exactly how great we are. But the point
8:26
Speaker 7: here is if you're going to play this identity politics
8:28
Speaker 7: and division and saying that people who are not Indigenous
8:33
Speaker 7: Australians are all migrants. It's just an absurdity and I
8:37
Speaker 7: don't really understand what she's driving at.
8:41
Speaker 3: YEP shows you how out of touch much of the
8:44
Speaker 3: media is with the Australian population. Now, let's talk about
8:47
Speaker 3: One Nation. They've recruited former Liberal Senator Holy Hughes and
8:51
Speaker 3: ex Party vice president Tina McQueen Dan Pauline Hanson's hint
8:57
Speaker 3: that the pair could potentially run in next year's New
8:59
Speaker 3: Sale Wales election. Is this a boost for the party
9:04
Speaker 3: or are they becoming like every other political party because
9:08
Speaker 3: one of the I guess charms of One Nation was
9:12
Speaker 3: their candidates had such diverse backgrounds, non political backgrounds in
9:17
Speaker 3: many cases.
9:20
Speaker 4: Well, I think it's a fair point.
9:21
Speaker 7: It can cut either way if you are the man
9:24
Speaker 7: on the street and or the woman on the street
9:27
Speaker 7: and you're thinking about who to vote for. I don't
9:29
Speaker 7: know whether this makes a huge difference either way. To
9:31
Speaker 7: be honest with you, I think that those who are
9:34
Speaker 7: supporting One Nation are largely doing it because they support
9:37
Speaker 7: Pauline Hanson and they believe that we need to have
9:39
Speaker 7: radical change to the system. I don't know whether this
9:42
Speaker 7: really changes it massively one way or another. That seems
9:45
Speaker 7: to be the case in the UK. By the way,
9:47
Speaker 7: with reform they're still very successful. They've taken on a
9:50
Speaker 7: whole bunch of x Tories, but at the recent counts
9:53
Speaker 7: of elections they performed very strongly, which suggests to me
9:56
Speaker 7: it doesn't really matter that much either way. I think
9:58
Speaker 7: what Australians are going to be looking at the policies
10:02
Speaker 7: that are on offer, so you know this this will
10:05
Speaker 7: sort of come and go. I'm not sure it makes
10:07
Speaker 7: a huge difference in the overall scheme of things.
10:11
Speaker 3: I think Tena McQueen will be a great asset. But
10:14
Speaker 3: Holly Hughes she was in Susan Lee's camp, so that's
10:18
Speaker 3: a smaller liberal making the transition to one nation seems
10:22
Speaker 3: a bit odd to me. Now, let's look at this
10:25
Speaker 3: social media owned goal from Housing Minister Clara O'Neill, who
10:29
Speaker 3: posted this clip of Pauline Hanson giving her a little
10:33
Speaker 3: side eye.
10:34
Speaker 7: Three billion dollars.
10:35
Speaker 3: This is known as.
10:40
Speaker 9: DAN.
10:40
Speaker 3: She captioned that with if Pauline doesn't approve, I must
10:44
Speaker 3: be on the right track. But I don't know. The
10:47
Speaker 3: clip makes Pauline look pretty cool and Claire looks a
10:51
Speaker 3: little lame. I don't know why she posted that I
10:53
Speaker 3: had a look at the comments and they're all roasting her. Yeah.
10:59
Speaker 7: I don't know what the theory behind this was. I
11:02
Speaker 7: agree with you that Pauline looked, you know, looked better
11:06
Speaker 7: off than Clara O'Neill in that clip. You know, so
11:09
Speaker 7: there's that I think when you look at it, you
11:11
Speaker 7: said that Clara is the Housing Minister and she's zero
11:13
Speaker 7: for twenty one in terms of meeting the monthly targets
11:16
Speaker 7: under her own National Housing Accords. So you would have
11:19
Speaker 7: thought that's that would be the thing that you're going
11:21
Speaker 7: to address.
11:22
Speaker 6: You know.
11:22
Speaker 7: The other point here is the you know, not just labor,
11:25
Speaker 7: but others have wanted to have her go at Poline
11:28
Speaker 7: Hanson and saying, oh, well, you know, if she doesn't
11:30
Speaker 7: like it, I must be doing the right thing. But okay,
11:33
Speaker 7: maybe two or three years ago if you had it
11:34
Speaker 7: said that, maybe it would have landed a bit better.
11:36
Speaker 7: But have you seen the polls, Claire, You know what
11:40
Speaker 7: nation is winning A lot of labor voters, a lot
11:42
Speaker 7: of labor voters are going to what nation. So I
11:46
Speaker 7: would be very careful, even just from a political perspective,
11:49
Speaker 7: at what you say.
11:51
Speaker 3: And Pauline Hanson's net approval rating is significantly higher than
11:57
Speaker 3: prime interst amphony up and easy. Again, that would be
12:01
Speaker 3: something to take into account before having a go at
12:03
Speaker 3: her personally. Now, Dan, this is a classic in Victoria
12:07
Speaker 3: only story. A controversial labor high firm called Women in
12:11
Speaker 3: Construction is at the center of the latest Big Bill
12:15
Speaker 3: scand all the age reveals the firm had secured substantial
12:18
Speaker 3: taxpayer funded contracts representing itself as a women led supplier
12:23
Speaker 3: of female workers, despite the company being owned by a
12:27
Speaker 3: male serial domestic violence abuser and previously managed by a
12:31
Speaker 3: male drug trafficker. CFMU had successfully demanded that contractors on
12:38
Speaker 3: rail project site sack a labor high company that was
12:41
Speaker 3: not aligned with the union and instead employ Women in Construction. Dan,
12:47
Speaker 3: the major transport infrastructure agency, was warned that this change
12:51
Speaker 3: would mean up to a twenty percent increase in labor
12:55
Speaker 3: high costs, but the project managers complied with the union
12:59
Speaker 3: demand and no wonder this state is broke.
13:03
Speaker 7: Well, it's highly surprising. You're right to say that this
13:06
Speaker 7: is only in Victoria story. The more that we find
13:10
Speaker 7: out about these construction projects, and the Big Build in particular,
13:14
Speaker 7: the worse it gets. In terms of the cost blowouts,
13:16
Speaker 7: in terms of the favors that are done. I mean,
13:19
Speaker 7: the unfortunate thing here is it's the Victorian people that
13:22
Speaker 7: are paying the price, and not just the Victorian people,
13:24
Speaker 7: by the way, because unfortunately, what happens in Victoria doesn't
13:27
Speaker 7: stay in Victoria. So as the Victorian economy goes down,
13:31
Speaker 7: it's dragging down the rest of the nation. We're already
13:33
Speaker 7: getting bailouts from the federal government and that's only going
13:37
Speaker 7: to continue. So I think people the more they learn
13:40
Speaker 7: about this, the more they understand what exactly is going on,
13:44
Speaker 7: the more they quite understandably turning away from the state government.
13:49
Speaker 3: Yep, there's the reason why this state has the biggest
13:52
Speaker 3: debt of any state in the country decisions like this,
13:57
Speaker 3: and there's plenty others just like it. Dan, While thank
13:59
Speaker 3: you so much for your time tonight Friday, we took
14:03
Speaker 3: a massive step back in this country, a massive step
14:06
Speaker 3: back for women's rights, for common sense, for biological reality.
14:11
Speaker 3: The Federal court found that Giggle founder Salgrover discriminated against
14:16
Speaker 3: Roxanne Tickle by rejecting the transactivists from the female only
14:21
Speaker 3: networking app because Roxanne Tickle is a biological man claiming
14:26
Speaker 3: to be a woman identifying as a woman. The Justices
14:30
Speaker 3: awarded Tickled twenty thousand damages, which is double the original award,
14:35
Speaker 3: taking into account what they called aggravating conduct by miss Grover.
14:40
Speaker 3: Joining me now for more on this as Women's Forum
14:42
Speaker 3: Australia head of Advocacy Stephanie Bastian. Stephanie, what's your reaction
14:48
Speaker 3: to this?
14:50
Speaker 2: Well, good evening reader. Obviously, we are very disappointed by
14:53
Speaker 2: this decision. It's effectively left women with what we already suspected,
14:57
Speaker 2: and that is that they no longer have any sex
14:59
Speaker 2: base rights, no rights to single sex sports spaces or services.
15:05
Speaker 2: That men under the Sex Discrimination Act who identifies women
15:09
Speaker 2: have more rights than women. And the implications for this
15:12
Speaker 2: are very real, the consequences. I mean, we have men,
15:15
Speaker 2: male offenders identifying as women in the prison system. Women
15:18
Speaker 2: for example, in South Australia are being housed with a
15:21
Speaker 2: violent male offender who has allegedly sexually assaulted multiple women.
15:27
Speaker 2: There are girls in sport who so there are girls
15:29
Speaker 2: at school who have been told they have to share
15:32
Speaker 2: the bathrooms with a male trans identifying boy if they
15:35
Speaker 2: didn't want to. They now they can use the disabled toilets,
15:38
Speaker 2: but so many of the girls have been using the
15:40
Speaker 2: disabled toilets of schools. Now said, well you can't use
15:43
Speaker 2: it anymore. It's creating too much for a backlog on time.
15:45
Speaker 2: So these girls are now holding and not using the
15:48
Speaker 2: bathroom all day. This is a very real situation where
15:52
Speaker 2: women and girls are suffering and we need action on
15:54
Speaker 2: it now, and we need cross party support to men
15:57
Speaker 2: the Sex Discrimination Act to reinstate women's rights as a
16:02
Speaker 2: sex based category under law, and.
16:05
Speaker 3: We're need the Australian Human Rights Commission to be interested
16:08
Speaker 3: in women's rights. The Australian Human Rights Commission seems to
16:11
Speaker 3: be completely hijacked by transactivists and their role in this case.
16:17
Speaker 3: Can you speak to that please, Stephanie.
16:21
Speaker 2: Well, it's quite interesting because the Australian Human Rights Commission
16:24
Speaker 2: was a meant to appear Amaricus Cure in this case,
16:27
Speaker 2: which is a friend of the court to provide advice.
16:30
Speaker 2: My colleague Rachel Wong attended the hearing on Friday and
16:33
Speaker 2: the Australian Human Rights Commission was sitting with Tickle, so
16:36
Speaker 2: they provided, using our taxpayer funds, a legal team that
16:42
Speaker 2: effectively made the case that Tickle was to be recognized
16:46
Speaker 2: as a woman under law for the purpose of the
16:48
Speaker 2: Sex Discrimination Act. They provided evidence that the judges weighed
16:52
Speaker 2: very heavily and I think actually contributed to the judgment
16:55
Speaker 2: that they reached the verdict because they were providing advice
16:58
Speaker 2: on the SDA and the intention and its purpose, particularly
17:03
Speaker 2: when it comes to those exemptions, because at the moment
17:05
Speaker 2: the way it's currently written, sex based rights are pitted
17:08
Speaker 2: against gender identity. They're both protected attributes, and the judges
17:11
Speaker 2: in this case awarded Tickle's claim, which was gender identity.
17:18
Speaker 3: Now, in response to this case, Opposition lead Angus Taylor
17:22
Speaker 3: has vowed to amend Australia's Sex Discrimination Act to include
17:26
Speaker 3: a definition of biological sex and a statement He said
17:30
Speaker 3: the Giggle v. Tickle outcome confirmed that Australian law does
17:35
Speaker 3: not properly protect single sex spaces for women and girls.
17:39
Speaker 3: He also added, we will define biological sex in the
17:43
Speaker 3: Act male or female, the sex you are born, and
17:47
Speaker 3: we will protect single sex spaces across Australian life. It's
17:51
Speaker 3: a strong statement, Stephane. But the Lips were in power
17:57
Speaker 3: for several years. They could have amended this. They knew
18:00
Speaker 3: there was a problem there and they refuse to engage
18:03
Speaker 3: in this area.
18:06
Speaker 2: Look, we obviously welcome the comments made by Angus Taylor
18:09
Speaker 2: and obviously Shadow Minister for Women Melissa Macintosh, but I
18:13
Speaker 2: do think there's a lot of trepidation about this out there.
18:16
Speaker 2: The Liberal Party is divided.
18:17
Speaker 3: On this issue.
18:18
Speaker 9: You have.
18:19
Speaker 2: Everyone has seen the way that Moira Deeming suffered for
18:22
Speaker 2: years with no real internal support until the end of
18:25
Speaker 2: her court case. Kath Deves got absolutely demolished by her colleagues,
18:29
Speaker 2: her potential colleagues at the twenty twenty two election for
18:32
Speaker 2: her previous advocacy protecting women's sports. The former Austrained Human
18:36
Speaker 2: Rights Commission who is now the Shadow Treasurer, Tim Wilson,
18:39
Speaker 2: launched the Safe School's program and obviously advocated for trans rights.
18:42
Speaker 2: So they have a very divided party they need to unite.
18:45
Speaker 2: But I think this is bigger than the Liberal Party.
18:48
Speaker 2: They need to be working with one nation, with the
18:49
Speaker 2: cross Bench, with the Teals. There needs to be a
18:52
Speaker 2: broad consensus that women deserve to have their sex based
18:55
Speaker 2: rights protected under law, and we are encouraging them to
18:58
Speaker 2: work together to do this. Today Women's Forum Australia is
19:01
Speaker 2: launching a campaign calling for this Sex Discrimination Act to
19:05
Speaker 2: be amended viewers. If your viewers want to support our campaign,
19:09
Speaker 2: they can visit Women's Forum Australia dot org slash fix
19:12
Speaker 2: the SDA. Please jump on board. We need to work together.
19:15
Speaker 2: We need to make sure off the back of last
19:17
Speaker 2: Friday's decision, the momentum doesn't die.
19:21
Speaker 3: Well, we've had you mentioned a few examples already in
19:25
Speaker 3: the Liberal Party, and we've had five Liberal Senators, including
19:28
Speaker 3: the Deputy Opposition Leader, who have voted with Labor and
19:32
Speaker 3: the Greens to stop an inquiry into gender affirming care
19:36
Speaker 3: practices in this country. Just how deep is that problem
19:40
Speaker 3: within the Liberal Party? How fractured are they on this issue,
19:44
Speaker 3: which is a ninety ten issue even the majority of
19:46
Speaker 3: Labor voters believe in biological reality.
19:51
Speaker 2: Well, I actually agree with sal Grover on this one.
19:53
Speaker 2: I think it's a ninety nine to one percent issue.
19:56
Speaker 2: But the problem is they are deeply divided and gender
19:59
Speaker 2: ideology is actually entrenched in the divisions. For example, in Victoria,
20:03
Speaker 2: if you're a male trans identifying person, you can hold
20:06
Speaker 2: a female stay counseled delegate spot. There is a man
20:09
Speaker 2: who a male who has been a chair of a
20:12
Speaker 2: Liberal Women's Counsel Section, so they do have a big
20:15
Speaker 2: battle ahead. They've obviously in many divisions have pridvanches full
20:19
Speaker 2: of transactivists, and then of course you've got a broad
20:22
Speaker 2: range of MPs that are on board with this, and
20:25
Speaker 2: there's a big friction because one nation is growing because
20:27
Speaker 2: of their their common sense approach to these things. So
20:31
Speaker 2: Western Sydney, for example, I think will be heartland for
20:34
Speaker 2: the taking for one nation. And then you've got the
20:36
Speaker 2: inner city kills who are also eating the liberal vote.
20:40
Speaker 2: There often you have moderate sitting in those seats. So
20:42
Speaker 2: they're really going to have to do some soul searching
20:45
Speaker 2: and find their base of conviction because at the moment
20:47
Speaker 2: they're lost, they're vote grabbing instead of leading, and I
20:50
Speaker 2: think it's really going to lead to their destruction unless
20:52
Speaker 2: they can overcome it.
20:55
Speaker 3: Stephanie Bastin, thanks for your time. Still to Karma Lefties Losing.
21:00
Speaker 3: We had passed all the ladies from the US, including
21:03
Speaker 3: the incredible primary result in Louisiana. Josh Hammer is up next.
21:18
Speaker 3: You're watching the Reader Paney Show, and it's time for
21:20
Speaker 3: Lefties Losing it. Let's start in the UK before we
21:24
Speaker 3: make our way to the US, we saw huge numbers
21:27
Speaker 3: marching against mass immigration, marching against the leftist government of
21:31
Speaker 3: Keir Starmer. The aerial shots of London paint a picture
21:34
Speaker 3: and they show that Britz did not listen to the
21:37
Speaker 3: Prime Minister.
21:39
Speaker 10: Tomorrow's march in London is a reminder of what we're
21:42
Speaker 10: up the based in the battle of our values. The organizers,
21:47
Speaker 10: including convicted thunks and racists, are peddling hatred under vision.
21:53
Speaker 3: Yes, according to Kia, anyone marching, including these granny's, are
21:57
Speaker 3: right wing extremists. They're thugs and white supremacist. They should
22:01
Speaker 3: be shunned and silence. Well, let's look at some of
22:05
Speaker 3: the hate on the streets of London.
22:08
Speaker 4: I love him at least I can.
22:11
Speaker 9: Okay, I'm loving.
22:15
Speaker 6: And that he's not supremacy.
22:17
Speaker 3: I'm holding writing disturbing scenes. The sad truth is that
22:22
Speaker 3: for these self loading breads, these anti West leftists, the
22:26
Speaker 3: mere sight of the Union, Jackness and George Cross is
22:30
Speaker 3: triggering a scene like this would send them into therapy.
22:36
Speaker 11: You check out through to Londons and say what a beautiful, sight.
22:42
Speaker 1: Fully fully loaded.
22:45
Speaker 3: Pop well In says, and they would hate the Christian symbolism.
22:53
Speaker 3: The number of people carrying crosses, the number of Christians
22:58
Speaker 3: taking part in this, and this was a diverse march.
23:03
Speaker 3: There were people of all backgrounds.
23:07
Speaker 12: And I stand for this class, which is Christianity, and
23:10
Speaker 12: I stand for togetherness, and I stand for a British
23:13
Speaker 12: fans signed British.
23:14
Speaker 3: And this belongs to the.
23:15
Speaker 9: People that I hear now from posting.
23:18
Speaker 3: Washed into the sad, into the system and didn't come
23:21
Speaker 3: oatately got my mom and daddy from Jamaica and guess what,
23:23
Speaker 3: they had a passport because that came through the front door.
23:26
Speaker 3: Didn't come on a bloody boat. And this lady also
23:29
Speaker 3: declined to see Tommy Robinson as some unrepentant racist.
23:34
Speaker 4: Brings you to London.
23:35
Speaker 9: Uh for Tommy Robinson basically yeah, So what about him
23:39
Speaker 9: do you like?
23:41
Speaker 11: Ah?
23:41
Speaker 9: His courage basically because he has a courage. He's can
23:44
Speaker 9: stand up by himself like you know, so I would
23:47
Speaker 9: say his courage and his faith as well. What about
23:50
Speaker 9: the people that have been calling Tommy Robinson racist for
23:53
Speaker 9: his years?
23:55
Speaker 4: I think they have their own problem.
23:57
Speaker 3: Yeah, they do have problems, don't they. And there is
24:00
Speaker 3: always a brave white leftist woman ready to emote wildly.
24:05
Speaker 3: Watch this young lady cry her eyes out watching the
24:09
Speaker 3: massive march. It was so sad, all these people loving
24:27
Speaker 3: their country in marching table share for cope. But the
24:31
Speaker 3: march did unite the nation in their shared hatred of
24:35
Speaker 3: the Prime Minister.
24:36
Speaker 9: Yes, Summer, he's a wunk, he's no sense, he has
24:41
Speaker 9: not common sense.
24:42
Speaker 3: That's what I would be a big He's best because
24:45
Speaker 3: we eat it. And there was a very British chant
24:49
Speaker 3: that went up outside the PM's residence. It rhymes with banker,
24:54
Speaker 3: it starts with W. And of course these marchers always
25:04
Speaker 3: attract a counter protest. This year's was fairly lackluster. So
25:08
Speaker 3: let's look at a classic from last year. This mother
25:12
Speaker 3: and son team, so loving, so sane and likable. Of
25:16
Speaker 3: course I gest they're Feralhi.
25:26
Speaker 6: Hi, would you like to elaborate?
25:28
Speaker 12: I mean I think he summed up really Robinson anti division,
25:37
Speaker 12: pro pala sign. So why are you here, Roshie? What
25:40
Speaker 12: do you feel about Tommy Robinson?
25:43
Speaker 4: Tommy Robinson?
25:52
Speaker 3: For ten years now, and particularly in the past six years,
25:56
Speaker 3: we've heard the Democrats repeat the lie that Donald Trump
25:59
Speaker 3: is a three democracy, that he's a fascist, unfit for office.
26:04
Speaker 3: As is often the case with the left, every accusation
26:07
Speaker 3: is a confession. Here is failed Democrat presidential candidate Kamala
26:12
Speaker 3: Harris putting on the agenda a list of malicious measures
26:16
Speaker 3: to upend democracy as we know it to ensure her
26:20
Speaker 3: political opponents never win again. Sounds a bit fascist to me.
26:26
Speaker 13: We talk about what we need to do and think
26:29
Speaker 13: about doing around the electoral college. We talk about the
26:33
Speaker 13: idea of Supreme Court reform, which includes expanding the Supreme Court.
26:39
Speaker 13: We invite a conversation about multi members districts.
26:43
Speaker 3: She calls it a no bad idea brainstorm. I call
26:46
Speaker 3: it cheating. And Kamala, just a little reminder, you could
26:50
Speaker 3: get rid of the electoral College altogether and you still
26:53
Speaker 3: wouldn't be president. Trump won the popular vote along with
26:56
Speaker 3: every swing state. But let's hear more ideas from Kamala.
27:00
Speaker 13: Let's talk about statelard for Puerto Rico and DC.
27:05
Speaker 3: These are the things I think that we've got to do.
27:07
Speaker 13: We've got to neutralize these red states from cheating, including
27:13
Speaker 13: blue states expanding their maps.
27:15
Speaker 3: Blue states expanding their maps to stop red states from cheating.
27:20
Speaker 3: By cheating, she means voting and those votes counting. She
27:24
Speaker 3: wants to negate the votes of her opponents, while introducing
27:28
Speaker 3: new blue states and expanding existing blue states and jerry
27:33
Speaker 3: mandering like hell, Donald Trump demands election integrity after twenty
27:37
Speaker 3: twenty and is called a threat to democracy. Kamala wants
27:41
Speaker 3: to destroy American democracy. Do you see any outrage from
27:46
Speaker 3: media circles? Of course, not joining me now is Newsweeks
27:51
Speaker 3: Senior editor at large, Josh Hammer. Josh, tell me what
27:55
Speaker 3: would be the impact of these Kamala ideas expanding the
27:59
Speaker 3: Supreme Court statehood for Puerto Rico and DC, not to mention,
28:04
Speaker 3: messing with the Electoral College and having bluestates expand their maps.
28:10
Speaker 14: Rita, You're looking at essentially the destruction of the United
28:13
Speaker 14: States Constitution. That is not an exaggeration that this is
28:18
Speaker 14: basically where the current Democratic Party base is right now.
28:21
Speaker 14: They want to gut the Electoral College, they want to
28:23
Speaker 14: gut the United States Senate itself. They want to add
28:26
Speaker 14: Puerto Rico and DC estates. They don't care for the
28:30
Speaker 14: wisdom of America's founders. America has has the greatest constitution
28:33
Speaker 14: that was ever devised by men in the entire history
28:36
Speaker 14: of lower case are Republican self governance because we had
28:39
Speaker 14: geniuses men like James Madison, who wrote in Federals number
28:42
Speaker 14: fifty one that because men are not angels, ambition must
28:46
Speaker 14: be must be made to counteract ambition. That's how you
28:48
Speaker 14: get these separation of powers. He famously wrote in Federals
28:51
Speaker 14: number ten about the problem of faction and how you
28:54
Speaker 14: can control for factions.
28:55
Speaker 4: And they don't care for any of this.
28:57
Speaker 14: Read because fundamentally all the current Democratic Party carespout is power.
29:01
Speaker 14: But in reality, the Democrats have been in a century
29:04
Speaker 14: plus long war against the US Constitution. This is a
29:07
Speaker 14: war that started literally over a century ago with Woodrow Wilson,
29:10
Speaker 14: who was the first great progressive president. He was heavily
29:13
Speaker 14: influenced by confidently European Germanic political philosophy.
29:17
Speaker 4: Hegel comes to mind. Then you had FDR and the
29:20
Speaker 4: New Deal.
29:20
Speaker 14: By the way, I did you, I mentione court packing,
29:22
Speaker 14: one of Kamala Harris's terrible ideas. FDR, at the height
29:25
Speaker 14: of his power in the nineteen thirties, proposed court packing
29:28
Speaker 14: actually in nineteen thirty seven, and guess what. The Senate
29:31
Speaker 14: Judiciary Committee, which at the time was heavily controlled by
29:34
Speaker 14: FDR's own part of the Democrats, rebuked him in the
29:37
Speaker 14: harshest terms possible. They sent a scathing letter and said,
29:41
Speaker 14: we will go down history as standing for an independent
29:44
Speaker 14: judiciary there and that is why we still have nine
29:46
Speaker 14: Justice to this day. Kamala Harris and today's Democrats have
29:49
Speaker 14: no such compunctions. But fundamentally, Riada, even more so than
29:52
Speaker 14: this century long campaign by the progressive left to destroy
29:56
Speaker 14: the US Constitution, I think what you're seeing here is
29:59
Speaker 14: a desperate polit political movement as well. This is a
30:01
Speaker 14: movement that has ceased. They've essentially given up on attempting
30:05
Speaker 14: to persuade others. They don't care about actually trying to
30:08
Speaker 14: win the arguments, not actually trying to persuade you that
30:11
Speaker 14: their rights when it comes to immigration, or to gender ideology,
30:15
Speaker 14: or to this or that. They don't care. They recognize
30:18
Speaker 14: actually that they've lost the argument. That's why, as you
30:20
Speaker 14: correctly pointed out, all the swing stays voted against Kamala Harris,
30:23
Speaker 14: they all vote for Trump.
30:24
Speaker 4: This they've lost the argument.
30:25
Speaker 14: So what are they left with RITA They're left with
30:27
Speaker 14: blowing it all up and destroying the system and burning
30:31
Speaker 14: it all down. It is the impulse of utopian left
30:34
Speaker 14: and since time memorial Unfortunately, there is nothing, nothing but
30:38
Speaker 14: misery and despair down that road.
30:42
Speaker 3: Let's talk about the incredible results in Louisiana, where Rhino
30:46
Speaker 3: Bill Cassidy became the first sitting Republican senator in fourteen
30:50
Speaker 3: years to lose a primary his in BC, it's.
30:54
Speaker 1: The official NBC News has now declared that the second
30:59
Speaker 1: spot in the June twenty seventh Republican Senate runoff in
31:03
Speaker 1: Louisiana will go to state Treasurer John Fleming. So the
31:07
Speaker 1: runoff now is set Congresswoman Julia Letlow state Treasurer John Fleming,
31:13
Speaker 1: And that means that Senator Bill Cassidy, two term Republican
31:18
Speaker 1: incumbent senator who voted to convict Donald Trump in his
31:22
Speaker 1: second impeachment trial in January of twenty twenty one, has
31:26
Speaker 1: been defeated.
31:27
Speaker 4: He will be denied renomination.
31:30
Speaker 3: Joshua keep hearing, MAGA is dead. It's fractured. The GoPay
31:35
Speaker 3: base is fractured, and yet we saw the landslide wins
31:38
Speaker 3: to mega candidates in Indiana. We've seen every single House
31:42
Speaker 3: Republican who voted to impeach Trump lose. We've sent five
31:46
Speaker 3: Republican senators who voted to impeach lose as well. This
31:51
Speaker 3: is very much Donald Trump's GoPay despite all the media metric.
31:56
Speaker 14: So I think the most amazing part of the Louisiana situation,
32:01
Speaker 14: as you saw there with that graphic, is that Bill
32:03
Speaker 14: Cassidy literally came in's third place. All he had to
32:06
Speaker 14: do was come in second place just to make the
32:09
Speaker 14: runoff there. But there were not one, but two people
32:11
Speaker 14: ahead of him and Rita. The mind reels as to
32:14
Speaker 14: how deeply unpopular an incumbent has to be to not
32:18
Speaker 14: make it in the top two in his own primary
32:21
Speaker 14: in a given state.
32:22
Speaker 4: But this is the power of the Trump endorsement.
32:24
Speaker 14: This is the power of Donald Trump seking his political
32:26
Speaker 14: operation on you and putting you in his bullseye, in
32:29
Speaker 14: his crosshairs. There's gonna be another huge test, by the way,
32:32
Speaker 14: in Kentucky this Tuesday, actually, so it's coming up just
32:36
Speaker 14: this week there. It's gonna be the Kentucky primaries, and
32:38
Speaker 14: in Kentucky's fourth congressional district. Donald Trump has gone all
32:42
Speaker 14: all in trying to defeat the incumbents. Thomas Massey, who
32:47
Speaker 14: started years ago as a principled libertarian, I am personally
32:50
Speaker 14: not libertarian, so I had my disagreement, but he was
32:51
Speaker 14: a very principled, intellectually honest guy. Massey has now been
32:55
Speaker 14: just an absolute, absolute thorn in Magasai and absolute thorn
32:59
Speaker 14: in Donald tire Trump's side, to say nothing, of course,
33:01
Speaker 14: of the fact that he has made common cause of
33:03
Speaker 14: people like Candicetnes and Tucker Carlson going down in particularly
33:06
Speaker 14: irksome conspiratorial rabbit hole there. But in any event, that's
33:09
Speaker 14: gonna be a big test as well of the Trump
33:12
Speaker 14: doors in power. The polling in Kentucky four is a
33:15
Speaker 14: little close right now. I personally would not bet against
33:17
Speaker 14: Donald Trump. I bet in favor of Thomas Massey there.
33:21
Speaker 14: Ed Gal Ryan is a Navy veteran. He's the one
33:22
Speaker 14: who's trying to challenge Thomas Massey in Kentucky.
33:25
Speaker 9: There.
33:26
Speaker 4: There's a lot of writing on this race read it's on.
33:29
Speaker 14: Is one of the most expensive, not the most expensive
33:31
Speaker 14: congressional primary I think in American history. It's a lot
33:34
Speaker 14: a lot of money being spent here to knock off
33:36
Speaker 14: Thomas Massy there.
33:37
Speaker 4: I predict ultimately that will be successful.
33:39
Speaker 14: And the very similar reason for that is because, as
33:41
Speaker 14: you said, this is still Donald Trump's party.
33:44
Speaker 3: Eric Trump has announced he plans to sue ms now
33:47
Speaker 3: host Jensaki. She was, of course Biden's pre secretary for
33:51
Speaker 3: a period. Now he is suing her for a number
33:54
Speaker 3: of claims she made about his business interest in China.
33:57
Speaker 3: Let's have a look at a little bit of that segment.
34:00
Speaker 15: Is supposed to be sort of fireworlder from many US
34:03
Speaker 15: government activities because he took over the family businesses when
34:07
Speaker 15: his father re entered the White House, supposedly to prevent
34:10
Speaker 15: conflicts of interest.
34:12
Speaker 9: But there he is.
34:13
Speaker 3: You can see him.
34:14
Speaker 15: You see Eric is on the board of a company
34:16
Speaker 15: called Alt five Sigma, and you can see him and
34:18
Speaker 15: Don Junior here bringing the opening bell at the NASA
34:22
Speaker 15: yep PA.
34:23
Speaker 3: She went on to accuse him of being, as you heard,
34:26
Speaker 3: their board member of a company purportedly seeking to do
34:30
Speaker 3: business in China. But Eric Trump has responded saying I
34:33
Speaker 3: have had zero involvement in any merger discussions involving any
34:38
Speaker 3: public entity. I do not run on control. I have
34:41
Speaker 3: zero business interest in China, no properties, no investments, nothing.
34:46
Speaker 3: Contrary to her monologue and blatant lies, I have never
34:50
Speaker 3: been on the board of Alt five, not now, not ever.
34:55
Speaker 3: Any person with basic access to Google and willing to
34:58
Speaker 3: open the company's annual report or proxy statements would know this. Josh,
35:04
Speaker 3: you're a lawyer. Is Jensaki and ms now they in trouble?
35:11
Speaker 4: She could be.
35:12
Speaker 14: So Look, defamation is not an easy thing to prove
35:14
Speaker 14: in American law. It all goes back to a very
35:17
Speaker 14: misguided Supreme Court case from the nineteen sixties called New
35:19
Speaker 14: York Times versus Sullivent. In my opinion, this was a
35:22
Speaker 14: very very incorrectly decided opinion. But nonetheless, what the court
35:25
Speaker 14: said back at the height of the liberal war and
35:27
Speaker 14: court sixty years ago, give or take, was they said
35:30
Speaker 14: that if you are a public figure, then you have
35:32
Speaker 14: to prove the standards called actual malice. So it's not
35:36
Speaker 14: sufficient that the person lied. You have to prove that
35:38
Speaker 14: the person did so with actual, demonstrable malice. Now, having
35:42
Speaker 14: said that, Arita, in the case of Jensaki and MS
35:46
Speaker 14: now there that seems to me like a pretty plausible standard. Frankly,
35:49
Speaker 14: I think it would not be a tremendous stretch to
35:52
Speaker 14: try to go into court there and build a demonstrate,
35:54
Speaker 14: especially with the beauty of discovery, that there is actual
35:57
Speaker 14: malice from Jensaki of all people against Eric Trump. Surely
36:01
Speaker 14: that is not an insurmountable threshold. If nothing else, I'm
36:05
Speaker 14: very happy to see these people dragged into court, and
36:07
Speaker 14: I wish Eritrum nothing the best in his possible lawsuit
36:10
Speaker 14: there the actual facts here, the question is whether or
36:13
Speaker 14: not he's on the board of Old five in the company.
36:16
Speaker 14: That is a very easily verifiable question of fact. I
36:19
Speaker 14: think about this other high profile defamation case that's currently happening.
36:23
Speaker 14: I mentioned Candis Oh and she's being sued by Brigitte McCrone,
36:26
Speaker 14: the first Lady of France. There canis o and says
36:27
Speaker 14: that Brigitie mccoon is a man. Brisgi McCrone quite reasonably says,
36:31
Speaker 14: I'm a.
36:32
Speaker 4: Woman, not a man.
36:33
Speaker 14: That's an easily verifiable statement. So when it comes to
36:36
Speaker 14: this kind of thing, Rita, you can prove it one
36:38
Speaker 14: way or the other there, and to me, that makes
36:40
Speaker 14: it a more plausible legal case.
36:44
Speaker 3: Now let's talk about that China trip. What were the
36:47
Speaker 3: key takeaways? Other than improving trade relations, was much else accomplished.
36:54
Speaker 14: So the key takeaway is that She Jinping is even
36:58
Speaker 14: more all in on Tayi wan On than I think
37:01
Speaker 14: many of us thoughts. This apparently was what he led
37:03
Speaker 14: with in his two plus hour sit down in the
37:06
Speaker 14: Great Hall in Beijing with Donald Trump. There, as the
37:08
Speaker 14: media as reported there, he started talking about what historians
37:11
Speaker 14: referred to as the Thusi Diddis trap, this notion that
37:15
Speaker 14: a rising power can overcome a declining power. It's a
37:18
Speaker 14: lot of Chinese Communist Party propaganda there, but he really
37:21
Speaker 14: really really went all in on the Taiwan issue. Now,
37:24
Speaker 14: for what's worth rido, what I've heard is is that
37:27
Speaker 14: Donald Trump definitely talked a lot of nice talk about China.
37:30
Speaker 14: But what I heard from people who weren't on the
37:32
Speaker 14: trip were very close to those who were on the trip.
37:34
Speaker 14: So I heard the secondhand is that Donald Trump apparently
37:37
Speaker 14: didn't even actually eat the food that he was served.
37:39
Speaker 14: They had a private chef there. They were so distrustful
37:41
Speaker 14: the Chinese there that he wonn't even eat the food
37:43
Speaker 14: that was sort of the dinner. So I think a
37:45
Speaker 14: lot of this, a lot of these optics of our
37:47
Speaker 14: two countries being on the same page there is just
37:49
Speaker 14: that actually is just optics. It's kind of classic Trump.
37:52
Speaker 14: By the way Donald Trump does this time and time again.
37:54
Speaker 14: I think back sometimes to twenty eighteen in Helsinki, Finland,
37:58
Speaker 14: he had a press conference with Lamar Putin that the
38:00
Speaker 14: media were tearing him off for he was saying Putin's
38:02
Speaker 14: a strong leader. They're like, oh my god, he's a
38:05
Speaker 14: puting can that am inuring Canda?
38:07
Speaker 4: He's soft and putting In there, No, he's not.
38:09
Speaker 3: No, he's not.
38:09
Speaker 14: He's not soft on Putin. There's it's a very It's
38:12
Speaker 14: the same exact thing here. Donald freaking Trump is not
38:14
Speaker 14: soft on China. He has been hardcore on the China
38:17
Speaker 14: issue for decades and decades and decades there, So he's
38:21
Speaker 14: he's making you sound like I think that we're on
38:22
Speaker 14: this image. And by the way, by the way, if
38:24
Speaker 14: China actually wants to help out America when it comes
38:27
Speaker 14: to to to Iran, when it comes to Ukraine and Russia,
38:30
Speaker 14: when it comes to anything Cuba, right off our shore
38:32
Speaker 14: here in Florida, they are great, I say great there.
38:34
Speaker 14: I don't trust people ultimately, Rita, I don't trust him
38:36
Speaker 14: as far as I'm gonna throw them. And I'm pretty
38:38
Speaker 14: sure Donald Trump feels the exact same way, based again
38:40
Speaker 14: the fact that he wouldn't apparently even eat the food
38:42
Speaker 14: that he.
38:42
Speaker 3: Was served incredible that that's incredible. And I saw when
38:46
Speaker 3: he did the toast he barely had a sip of
38:49
Speaker 3: the drink. He has the teeniest, tiniest little sip. Again,
38:54
Speaker 3: serious trust issues there, understandably, So what would be the
38:58
Speaker 3: Trump administration's attitude. Do you think if China did go
39:02
Speaker 3: ahead and invade Taiwan? What would we expect to say
39:07
Speaker 3: from America at that point?
39:10
Speaker 14: So it's an unambiguously nightmare scenario and it's one the
39:13
Speaker 14: US war planners strategists have been gaming out for decades
39:18
Speaker 14: decades now. If I'm being very honest with you, Rita,
39:21
Speaker 14: the war games folks in the Department of War and
39:24
Speaker 14: elsewhere in the think tank world universities that are there,
39:28
Speaker 14: this ends up being something of a fifty to fifty proposition.
39:30
Speaker 14: There there are some war games where if there's a
39:33
Speaker 14: full scale war, the United States wins. There are many
39:35
Speaker 14: scenarios where China actually wins. It would essentially be a
39:38
Speaker 14: home war for them. In the Taiwan, of course, being
39:40
Speaker 14: roughly fifty miles off the shore of mainland China. That
39:44
Speaker 14: is a very unenviable proposition if you are the United
39:47
Speaker 14: States and already spread pretty thin throughout the world. So
39:50
Speaker 14: all that means is that we really really really really
39:54
Speaker 14: don't want to test this hypothetical there, and what that
39:56
Speaker 14: means in concrete terms is to basically arm the crap
39:59
Speaker 14: out of tai to arm the crap out of Japan
40:01
Speaker 14: and the Philippines. I would argue India, obviously, Australia, your country,
40:06
Speaker 14: America's key allies there in that part of the world there,
40:09
Speaker 14: the more that we can have our allies do our
40:12
Speaker 14: deterrent dirty work for us there, obviously with our American
40:15
Speaker 14: citizens there, I think that is the best way passed
40:17
Speaker 14: we to try to preclude a people's liberation army invasion
40:20
Speaker 14: of Taiwan, which would be truly catastrophed unfortunately if it happens.
40:25
Speaker 3: And catastrophic certainly for us here in Australia. Josh Hamma,
40:28
Speaker 3: thank you so much for your time tonight.
40:29
Speaker 4: Thank you z always reata still to come.
40:31
Speaker 3: All the latest in royal and entertainment news, including Spencer
40:35
Speaker 3: Pratt's brutal takedown of Chelsea Handler. Kinseyschofield is next. Welcome back.
40:52
Speaker 3: Let's check in on Miserable Maiden Chelsea Handler, fresh from
40:55
Speaker 3: being scorched last week's Kevin Hart Rose Chelsea has decided
41:00
Speaker 3: to weigh in on the La Meryal race, releasing this video.
41:04
Speaker 11: Oh hi, if you're seeing this video, this is a
41:06
Speaker 11: reminder that a straight white male former reality star that
41:09
Speaker 11: has no previous experience in government should not be a
41:12
Speaker 11: legitimate political candidate.
41:14
Speaker 4: Have we learned anything yet?
41:16
Speaker 11: The bar is on the four people and I need
41:19
Speaker 11: you to jump over it.
41:21
Speaker 3: Okay, thank you, have a nice day. Mistake, Chelsea. Mistake
41:25
Speaker 3: that prompted Spencer Pratt to post this video of Shane
41:28
Speaker 3: Gillis from Kevin harts Roast, where reminds everyone that Chelsea
41:32
Speaker 3: Handler chose to hang out with Jeffrey Epstein in twenty ten.
41:36
Speaker 3: That's two years after he pleaded guilty to two felony
41:41
Speaker 3: counts of soliciting prostitution and soliciting prostitution from a minor.
41:48
Speaker 6: Chelsea Handler went to dinner at Jeffrey Epstein's house in
41:50
Speaker 6: twenty ten. It's just a fun one. I let you
41:58
Speaker 6: look it up. There's articles. It wasn't like a big
42:00
Speaker 6: There was like seven people there and it was like
42:03
Speaker 6: Prince Andrew and whatdy Allen were there? Anyway? Ladies and gentlemen, Chelsea.
42:08
Speaker 3: Handler joining me now to discuss this and more, is
42:12
Speaker 3: host of the Kinsey Skyfield Unfiltered podcast, Kinsey Don't Mess
42:17
Speaker 3: with Spencer Pratt. I guess is the message there or
42:20
Speaker 3: Shane Gillis?
42:21
Speaker 16: Yeah, Morley bankrupt. Chelsea Handler walked right into this one.
42:26
Speaker 16: Spencer Pratt understands media and social media better than most celebrities.
42:31
Speaker 16: I mean, he's one of the first ones to admit yeah,
42:33
Speaker 16: I call the paparazzi on myself and taught an entire
42:36
Speaker 16: generation how to do the same thing, including Megan Markle.
42:40
Speaker 16: And you know, the second she tried to posture politically,
42:45
Speaker 16: he reminded everyone of her own very questionable judgment. Shane
42:50
Speaker 16: Gillis has become untouchable in comedy right now, so I
42:53
Speaker 16: think that that's a perfect example of that. But if
42:56
Speaker 16: your name ends up in one of his sets legally changed,
43:00
Speaker 16: you know, good luck recovering from that.
43:04
Speaker 3: Well, yes, you had Tony Hinchcliff go for her as well.
43:07
Speaker 3: I thought he was even more brutal than Shane during
43:10
Speaker 3: that roast, and I think she got roasted more than
43:13
Speaker 3: the actual subject matter. Kevin Hart now as late night
43:17
Speaker 3: host Stephen Colbert prepares for his final week on CBS.
43:21
Speaker 3: His successor has declared that he will avoid politics on
43:25
Speaker 3: the show and quote, just be funny. The mandset to
43:29
Speaker 3: replace Colbert. Comedian Byron Allan sat down with CNN and
43:34
Speaker 3: told them of his plans to differentiate from Colbert.
43:38
Speaker 4: Don't talk about politics.
43:39
Speaker 3: We don't talk about anything that's topical.
43:42
Speaker 4: We don't talk about anything.
43:43
Speaker 5: We don't do anything that's racist or sexist, anti semitic,
43:46
Speaker 5: or homophobic.
43:48
Speaker 3: Just be funny, Just be funny. That's going to be
43:51
Speaker 3: a dramatic change from Stephen Colbert Kinsey.
43:54
Speaker 16: Who's not funny. Yeah, I mean late night ardience. Yeah,
44:00
Speaker 16: they're exhausted by the lectures disguised as comedy. And you know,
44:06
Speaker 16: Colbert stopped feeling like entertainment years and years ago. I
44:11
Speaker 16: don't think people mind political jokes, because if you think
44:13
Speaker 16: of Leno or Letterman, they used to do some funny
44:16
Speaker 16: bits back in the day. But what they don't like
44:19
Speaker 16: is being scolded every night, or in some cases like
44:22
Speaker 16: look at Kemmel being judged and judged unfairly. You know,
44:26
Speaker 16: that's just not entertainment.
44:30
Speaker 3: Staying in California and Governor Gavin Newsom has been mocked
44:33
Speaker 3: for his cringey social media posts as he welcomed Korean
44:37
Speaker 3: boy band BTS to the stag newsm posted on x
44:41
Speaker 3: threes sold out shows in California can only mean one thing,
44:44
Speaker 3: BTS is in town. He posted it with a purple heart,
44:49
Speaker 3: often used in BTS fandom, and the fingerhut hand gesture
44:54
Speaker 3: commonly used in South Korea. Kinzie, the man is fifty
44:57
Speaker 3: eight years old.
44:58
Speaker 16: I mean, come on, yeah, but we should stress like
45:01
Speaker 16: we love BTS here. This is not BTS backlash, but
45:04
Speaker 16: it is a little embarrassing watching the governor of California
45:07
Speaker 16: cars play as a key pop super fan while people
45:11
Speaker 16: in his state are frustrated about crime, homelessness, and you know,
45:15
Speaker 16: just lack of affordability. The reaction online shows people see
45:18
Speaker 16: right through it, but Newsom's constantly trying to borrow celebrity
45:22
Speaker 16: energy to elevate himself politically. Flashback to Charlie Kirk, his
45:26
Speaker 16: little chat with Charlie, and this BTS post came across
45:31
Speaker 16: as desperate and you know, just wanting positive attention.
45:36
Speaker 3: Now, Page Seeks is reporting that former Baywatch star Pamela
45:39
Speaker 3: Anderson is making room for love in her life, as
45:43
Speaker 3: rumors swell of a potential romantic relationship with Hollywood Make
45:48
Speaker 3: Us star Tom Cruise. One insider told The National Enquirer
45:51
Speaker 3: that Anderson's latest performance in the film The Last Show
45:55
Speaker 3: Girl peaked Cruise's interest in her. The movie got people
45:59
Speaker 3: to see Pam in very different light, including Tom. They've
46:02
Speaker 3: been in touch ever since. Kinsey, I am not buying
46:06
Speaker 3: this sounds like another publicity stunt, just like that supposed
46:11
Speaker 3: romance with Lim Neeson.
46:13
Speaker 16: Yeah, the Naked Gun rumors that we had to sort
46:16
Speaker 16: through that we still are really confused by because nothing
46:20
Speaker 16: ever materialized. I mean to be fair, pamilis having a
46:23
Speaker 16: career resurgence right now, so naturally I think people are
46:27
Speaker 16: linking her to huge stars, but our audiences are more
46:31
Speaker 16: cautious about buying into these stories immediately. I believe Tom
46:34
Speaker 16: Cruise is dating someone when Tom Cruise confirms it himself,
46:37
Speaker 16: and even then I'll wonder if it was manufactured by scientology. Okay,
46:41
Speaker 16: Hollywood romance rumors are basically a marketing strategy.
46:46
Speaker 7: Now.
46:47
Speaker 3: NFL legend Tom Brady made his modeling debut this week,
46:50
Speaker 3: stepping out for Gucci in their fashion show in New York.
46:55
Speaker 3: Among the star studded audience worm Mariah Kerry, Shawn Mendez,
46:59
Speaker 3: and Kim kud and Kinsey. I got to say he
47:03
Speaker 3: looked pretty good. Jizelle's obviously taught him some things before
47:06
Speaker 3: the divorce.
47:08
Speaker 16: Yeah, I mean, Tom Brady looked completely comfortable out there.
47:11
Speaker 16: He's a beautiful guy. I mean, he's transitioning from NFL
47:15
Speaker 16: legend to like luxury brand ambassador, and I think it
47:18
Speaker 16: works for him. And I'd rather look at him on
47:20
Speaker 16: a runway than a Kardashian any day.
47:24
Speaker 3: Well, yes, I think you know, people were having a
47:28
Speaker 3: go and saying, you know, leave the supermodel work to
47:31
Speaker 3: gizl But I don't know. I mean that was pretty
47:33
Speaker 3: compelling to me. I had to watch it a few
47:35
Speaker 3: times for research purposes. Now, before you go, we have
47:39
Speaker 3: to talk about Meghan Markle. She traveled to Switzerland this
47:42
Speaker 3: week for the unveiling of the Lost Screen Memorial, which
47:46
Speaker 3: pays tribute to children who have lost their lives as
47:49
Speaker 3: a result of online violence and digital harm. Let's have
47:53
Speaker 3: a little bit of a listen to Megan's speech.
47:56
Speaker 5: One day, generations from now, children will look back at
48:02
Speaker 5: this era with absolute disbelief that adults once allowed digital
48:07
Speaker 5: spaces to exist without basic protections for young.
48:11
Speaker 3: People, Kinzya, what do you make of that? She's an
48:15
Speaker 3: interesting one for that role. When she was in Australia,
48:18
Speaker 3: she claimed to be the most bullied person in the world.
48:23
Speaker 16: While taking pictures with other people's children that went all
48:26
Speaker 16: over the internet.
48:27
Speaker 4: You know, like, that's wild to me.
48:30
Speaker 16: Like actions speak louder than words. And if Megan wants
48:32
Speaker 16: to protect children from the Internet, she should start by
48:35
Speaker 16: keeping her own damn kids off of social media. They
48:37
Speaker 16: are underage and cannot consent to mommy's use of their
48:40
Speaker 16: likeness to sell crappy jam. I think the way the
48:43
Speaker 16: Sussexes use other people suffering and grief to elevate themselves
48:47
Speaker 16: or try to change public perception of their toxic brand
48:50
Speaker 16: is truly sinister. There is a selfishness and a darkness
48:55
Speaker 16: about that that I find repulsive.
48:58
Speaker 3: Kinsey Schofield, thank you so much for your time tonight,
49:02
Speaker 3: and that's all the time we have. I'll see you
49:05
Speaker 3: at eleven tomorrow night, but don't go anywhere. Newsnight is
49:08
Speaker 3: up next
