Speaker 1: On scorn Lils Ostrodio.
0:05
Speaker 2: This is the Reader Panalty Show.
0:08
Speaker 3: Good evening and welcome to the Reader Panalty Show. Coming
0:11
Speaker 3: up tonight. Support for the Albanezy government drops to its
0:14
Speaker 3: lowest mark since last year's election. The panel will be
0:17
Speaker 3: here to cover the day's top headlines. The Prime Minister
0:20
Speaker 3: shaws astrologers that will get through the fuel crisis, but
0:24
Speaker 3: the stats tell a vastly different story. Liberal Senator Alex
0:28
Speaker 3: Antique joins me to discuss that the Great Josh Hammer
0:31
Speaker 3: will have the latest from the US, including the note
0:34
Speaker 3: King's protest over the weekend, and later in the hour,
0:38
Speaker 3: kings In Schofield joins me for the latest in royal
0:40
Speaker 3: and entertainment news, including reports that King Charles is softening
0:45
Speaker 3: his stance with his prodigal son Prince Harry, and we
0:48
Speaker 3: never neglect left his losing it tonight, starring Robert de Niro.
0:54
Speaker 4: But none have been such existential threat to our freedoms
0:59
Speaker 4: and secure, none except Trump. He must be stopped, and
1:04
Speaker 4: he must be stopped now.
1:06
Speaker 3: But first. The Victorian Liberal Party's pre selection process has
1:10
Speaker 3: been thrown into turmoil after the man who asked at
1:12
Speaker 3: popular MP worried deeming was forced to withdraw his candidacy
1:17
Speaker 3: after it was revealed that he provided a character reference
1:20
Speaker 3: for a now convicted child sex avender. The Australian newspaper
1:24
Speaker 3: reports that Dinnish Garassetti provided sworn evidence less than two
1:29
Speaker 3: years ago attesting to the good character of Cashiap Patel,
1:34
Speaker 3: who was a member of the Liberal faction and a
1:36
Speaker 3: good friend. Patel was convicted and sentenced to nine months
1:40
Speaker 3: imprisonment plus a two year correction order after being found
1:44
Speaker 3: guilty of grooming, sexually assaulting and transmitting in decent communication
1:50
Speaker 3: to a child under sixteen. Joining me now is former
1:54
Speaker 3: Labor MP Michael Danby and Sky News contributor Louisa Roberts. Michael,
1:58
Speaker 3: I'll stub with you, what's your reaction to this whole catastrophe?
2:03
Speaker 3: The firstly, the decision to oust one of the few
2:07
Speaker 3: MPs in the Liberal Party who has cut through with
2:10
Speaker 3: the electorate, who actually performs well after everything they have
2:13
Speaker 3: put her through. And then this added catastrophe.
2:17
Speaker 5: Well, the public hates all of this internal Liberal machinations
2:21
Speaker 5: and they just wish that you've got an MP who's
2:23
Speaker 5: effective and hasn't been convicted of Malfeasan's just keep her there.
2:27
Speaker 5: That's what should have been done. Now. The administrative wing
2:30
Speaker 5: of the Liberal Party has conducted preselections themselves before the
2:36
Speaker 5: executive should meet as they have done with other candidates
2:40
Speaker 5: and put her back in. The problem is I understand
2:43
Speaker 5: it that the majority of the state executive don't want her,
2:47
Speaker 5: so they'd have to bite their tongue and think of
2:49
Speaker 5: England because it's not as in the interests of their
2:53
Speaker 5: public perception for them for this infighting to go on,
2:56
Speaker 5: particularly not for the new state leader. And I agree
2:59
Speaker 5: with ab and Credlin. This has just got to win,
3:03
Speaker 5: even if you're not ideologically committed to MOI redeeming. For
3:07
Speaker 5: the democratic contest to take place, you should have people
3:11
Speaker 5: who are stayed in peace, who are you know, as
3:15
Speaker 5: you said, very cut through and leave them there.
3:19
Speaker 3: She's one of the few who actually did well at
3:21
Speaker 3: the last election.
3:22
Speaker 5: They should be fighting the Labor Party, not themselves.
3:25
Speaker 3: Then she was put through hel Luise for standing up
3:29
Speaker 3: for women, for taking a stand for women, for women's spaces,
3:32
Speaker 3: for women's sport. It's a massive issue in this state.
3:36
Speaker 3: We've got male sexual predators in female's prisons in Victoria.
3:41
Speaker 3: This is a situation that is crying out for some
3:45
Speaker 3: sort of political intervention, and yet the liberals are too
3:49
Speaker 3: scared to really deal with it in any meaningful way.
3:52
Speaker 3: She did, she was attacked for it, the leader defamed her,
3:55
Speaker 3: she had to take him to court to clear her name,
3:59
Speaker 3: and now we've god this shambalick mess. I mean, you
4:02
Speaker 3: can see why labor has been in power for so
4:04
Speaker 3: long in this state.
4:05
Speaker 6: Absolutely, this whole episode is a complete gift to the
4:08
Speaker 6: labor government, isn't it. Unfortunately, and the point you make
4:11
Speaker 6: of that Moura is a very good one. She has
4:13
Speaker 6: advocated for the rights of biological women and been ruthlessly
4:17
Speaker 6: punished for it and then exonerated through the legal process
4:20
Speaker 6: of cause, but still is not pre selected. And the
4:23
Speaker 6: person they have pre selected, they obviously haven't done their
4:25
Speaker 6: due diligence on him either. So the top of the
4:28
Speaker 6: shambles list is the whole vetting process for liberal pre
4:31
Speaker 6: selection in Victoria. So did they know about this reference,
4:34
Speaker 6: and if they did, they continued otherwise. I mean, the
4:38
Speaker 6: whole thing's a disgrace and it doesn't bode well for,
4:42
Speaker 6: as Michael says, the voters who really just want action
4:46
Speaker 6: in the community, and in the state, they're absolutely sick
4:48
Speaker 6: to death. They've had a gutfull of the infighting. And
4:51
Speaker 6: if you can't run your own party, how on earth
4:53
Speaker 6: are you going to run the states.
4:56
Speaker 3: That is a very good point. And even if they
4:58
Speaker 3: go back to MOI and beg her to stand, if
5:04
Speaker 3: I was there, I would tell them to get stuffed
5:06
Speaker 3: and pick up the phone to Pauline Hanson. Pick up
5:09
Speaker 3: the phone to One Nation, go out as an independent
5:13
Speaker 3: if she prefers not to be part of one Nation.
5:15
Speaker 3: But the way I have treated her repeatedly, now there's
5:19
Speaker 3: a pattern, is absolutely appalling. And I want to give
5:22
Speaker 3: you just some of the commentary we saw around this decision.
5:26
Speaker 3: This is the former president of Liberal Pride, Heath Wilson,
5:32
Speaker 3: who showed his class. When this news of more Redeeming
5:35
Speaker 3: losing preselection was released. He posted her picture and the
5:40
Speaker 3: story with the caption the bitch lost. I mean, Loise,
5:45
Speaker 3: what do you make of that? It's hardly progressive and inclusive,
5:49
Speaker 3: is it?
5:49
Speaker 2: Well?
5:49
Speaker 6: Can you imagine if she was on the other food
5:51
Speaker 6: and she attacked him on social media like that? I mean,
5:53
Speaker 6: it'd be absolute hell to pay, wouldn't it. It's a lazy, sexist,
5:57
Speaker 6: abusive narrative. I mean, any want to call some of
6:00
Speaker 6: the B word in that context or overall, is obviously
6:05
Speaker 6: not very intelligent, has to resort to insults to kind
6:07
Speaker 6: of make their point. And I'm sure his followers thought
6:10
Speaker 6: it was hilarious and were sort of choking into their
6:12
Speaker 6: lattes as they saw that post. But it's offensive to
6:15
Speaker 6: all women, let alone women who perhaps may not have
6:19
Speaker 6: supported more in the first place. So yeah, just reactionary
6:22
Speaker 6: and foul.
6:23
Speaker 3: Really, and again I emphasize Michael here. This is the
6:28
Speaker 3: former president of Liberal Pride, So this is part of
6:31
Speaker 3: the liberal party here in Victoria. This is part of
6:34
Speaker 3: the liberal community. It's not someone from the Greens or
6:39
Speaker 3: Labor who's passing this sort of commentary. And I can
6:42
Speaker 3: see from this why so many capable people say they
6:48
Speaker 3: will not run for the Liberals in this state because
6:50
Speaker 3: they don't want to be part of this. They don't
6:52
Speaker 3: want to be subjected to this. I mean, you expect
6:55
Speaker 3: to get all sorts of invective from your ideological opponents
6:59
Speaker 3: on the other side, but when it's coming from within,
7:02
Speaker 3: it's a different thing.
7:03
Speaker 5: Well, apparently there's identity politics in the liberal party. This
7:09
Speaker 5: is virtue signaling to a small group of people who
7:14
Speaker 5: he must perceive as being pro trans I mean, what
7:18
Speaker 5: a crazy basis in which to humiliate the state leader
7:22
Speaker 5: of the Liberal Party who wanted more Deeming back in.
7:26
Speaker 5: She's a sense of a woman.
7:27
Speaker 3: This I'd say about Jess Wilson's standing in the party.
7:32
Speaker 3: If she has said that she wants more to be
7:34
Speaker 3: part of the team and a decision is made to
7:37
Speaker 3: Austa and asked for a candidate, who as do we
7:39
Speaker 3: draw within twenty four hours?
7:41
Speaker 5: That's why the State Administrative Committee should step in back
7:46
Speaker 5: the new state leader and put Deeming back in, and
7:51
Speaker 5: put this issue behind them and go on to a
7:54
Speaker 5: Liberal versus labor policy fight.
7:57
Speaker 3: Well, where Deeming is a Christian, she's a forgiving woman.
8:01
Speaker 3: Maybe she will forgive them again. I think a lot
8:04
Speaker 3: of other people wouldn't. Now, let's move to federal politics
8:08
Speaker 3: now and co. Support for the Labor government has fallen
8:12
Speaker 3: to its lowest level since last year's election. The latest
8:15
Speaker 3: newspoll shows the Labour's primary vote has slipped by another
8:18
Speaker 3: percent to thirty one one. Nation has also dropped one
8:21
Speaker 3: percent to twenty six, but well ahead of the Coalition
8:25
Speaker 3: on twenty one percent, and the prime minister beferred prime
8:29
Speaker 3: minister figures are interesting forty four percent backing Anthony ALBERNIZI
8:34
Speaker 3: compared to thirty six percent for Angus Taylor. Louise, Are
8:38
Speaker 3: you surprised that Coalition isn't making up more ground under
8:42
Speaker 3: Angus Taylor's leadership and with a fuel crisis adding to
8:46
Speaker 3: cost of living pressures.
8:47
Speaker 6: Yeah, I am surprised, but I don't think they've weaponized
8:50
Speaker 6: this crisis properly.
8:52
Speaker 3: Reta.
8:52
Speaker 6: I don't think they've made it. They've made the connection
8:54
Speaker 6: between a geo political issue and the actual pain that
8:57
Speaker 6: Australian's are feeling. That's what they need to do to actually,
9:00
Speaker 6: you know, attack the government full front, or is to
9:02
Speaker 6: really make that hip pocket issue. And because we don't
9:05
Speaker 6: vote on geopolitical issues, do we we vote on the
9:08
Speaker 6: fuel price? And I guess you know, with the xcise
9:10
Speaker 6: cut today, that may give some relief, but it won't
9:13
Speaker 6: actually tackle supply, will it. It's just a bit of
9:16
Speaker 6: a cherry on top of the moment to distract people
9:18
Speaker 6: probably from the May budget, which is the point you've
9:20
Speaker 6: made before too, So they haven't capitalized on it as well,
9:24
Speaker 6: and I think we're all expecting them to because we
9:26
Speaker 6: thought that one Susan was out of the way, that
9:28
Speaker 6: it'd be a fresh start and you know, support would grow.
9:31
Speaker 3: But that's not what's happened. I got to say, Michael,
9:35
Speaker 3: I thought there would be a honeymoon period, we would
9:38
Speaker 3: see a surge and support from the coalition one nation
9:41
Speaker 3: perhaps dropping back a little bit, but that hasn't happened.
9:45
Speaker 3: The measures announced today by the Prime Minister, do you
9:48
Speaker 3: think that's going to boost confidence. We've got really band
9:52
Speaker 3: aid measures here, cuts to the fuel excise for a
9:54
Speaker 3: short period of time, and other measures that might bring
9:59
Speaker 3: some temporary relief, but really the longer term issues here
10:03
Speaker 3: are completely are being ignored. We are not talking about
10:09
Speaker 3: how we can be energy independent, how we can cut
10:11
Speaker 3: our reliance on foreign oil.
10:14
Speaker 5: Really, you've got to remember I'm a Peter Welsh supply sider,
10:17
Speaker 5: so cutting the X size is actually going to increase demand.
10:22
Speaker 5: So with short supply, I think ultimately, if the war continues,
10:27
Speaker 5: we may face the situation where we have a total
10:32
Speaker 5: gas problem, total oil problem. The real issue, as this
10:37
Speaker 5: station has identified so many of the commentators, such as
10:40
Speaker 5: yourself and Chris Kenny supply. We need more gas, we
10:44
Speaker 5: need more coal, we need more oil. It is fascicle, environmental.
10:49
Speaker 3: Crazyents of years of reserves.
10:51
Speaker 5: You know, we should be the wealthiest country in the
10:53
Speaker 5: world given the fact that we've got so much cheap power,
10:57
Speaker 5: including uranium which is you know, could be fitted into
11:01
Speaker 5: nuclear power plants, which should start to be being built
11:04
Speaker 5: now so we can have cheap electricity. And I say
11:07
Speaker 5: this as a labor person for pensioners and poor people.
11:10
Speaker 5: Chris Bowen please remember them absolutely.
11:13
Speaker 3: I mean, we've already got well before this energy crisis.
11:17
Speaker 3: People too scared to turn on the air conditioners in summer,
11:19
Speaker 3: repeaters in winter. But this reliance we have on energy
11:25
Speaker 3: from overseas oil. We've only got two refineries left. We
11:28
Speaker 3: used to have around a dozen.
11:30
Speaker 5: And as Matt Canavan points out, we've got no refining
11:33
Speaker 5: producing urea, which is a vital fertilizer that used to
11:37
Speaker 5: be produced in this country. We have to go all
11:39
Speaker 5: the way to Saudi Arabia to get it for our farmers.
11:43
Speaker 3: But this is really a failure of successive governments. You
11:45
Speaker 3: can't just pin that on the current government. We've just
11:50
Speaker 3: followed the green ideology headed to this net zero future.
11:53
Speaker 3: And we're getting a glimpse of that net zero future
11:55
Speaker 3: right now, aren't we in? It ain't pretty. Louise Roberts,
11:59
Speaker 3: Michael Dabi, thank you so much for your time tonight.
12:02
Speaker 3: Let's bring in Liberal Senator Alex Antick. He joins me
12:05
Speaker 3: from Canberra. Alex, Let's start with Anthony Albinezi assuring the
12:09
Speaker 3: nation that we will get through this fuel crisis, and
12:12
Speaker 3: a meeting with state leaders. The PM has discussed a
12:15
Speaker 3: range of measures, including working from home, car pooling and
12:19
Speaker 3: increasing the use of public transport, and he announced that
12:22
Speaker 3: the fuel excise will be halved and a reduction in
12:26
Speaker 3: the road user charge.
12:28
Speaker 7: The plan outlined how governments will work together to keep
12:31
Speaker 7: Australia open and to keep our economy going. Early voluntary action,
12:36
Speaker 7: coupled with new supply measures will make a difference and
12:40
Speaker 7: make sure that fuel continues to get to those who
12:44
Speaker 7: need it most. Our approach is determined by four levels
12:49
Speaker 7: of action. One plan and prepare to keeping Australia moving,
12:54
Speaker 7: which is where we are at the moment. Three taking
12:57
Speaker 7: targeted action and for protecting critical services for all Australians.
13:02
Speaker 7: We're making fuel cheaper today because we understand that Australians
13:07
Speaker 7: are under serious pressure.
13:10
Speaker 3: Well, halving the fuel excise for three months, that is
13:14
Speaker 3: going to lower the price of petrol by about twenty
13:16
Speaker 3: six cents per liter. But Alex, is this the best
13:19
Speaker 3: we can expect from our leaders? These are band aid
13:23
Speaker 3: measures at best.
13:26
Speaker 5: Yeah.
13:26
Speaker 1: I mean, as I was sitting there listening and I
13:28
Speaker 1: heard that news earlier today, I was thinking about the boy,
13:31
Speaker 1: you know, putting his finger in the dyke, trying to
13:34
Speaker 1: fix the problems in the bursting of the dam, you know,
13:36
Speaker 1: and it sort of does feel like that a little bit.
13:38
Speaker 1: I mean, look, there's a couple of things I'd say
13:40
Speaker 1: about this. The first one is it is extraordinary on
13:44
Speaker 1: any measure that we are in this position full stop.
13:46
Speaker 1: I mean, the fact that we even have to get
13:48
Speaker 1: to this point where we're a long time ago bringing
13:50
Speaker 1: in fuel rather than refining it here, that's the first
13:52
Speaker 1: thing i'd say, So park that for a minute. The
13:55
Speaker 1: second thing I'd say is, I don't know about you,
13:57
Speaker 1: but I get this uneasy feeling of day javous about
14:01
Speaker 1: what's happening out there at the moment with these overtures
14:04
Speaker 1: that you know, we won't be rationing. There won't be
14:07
Speaker 1: QR codes, you won't be locked in your homes. You know,
14:10
Speaker 1: I don't like it. I've said for a long period
14:13
Speaker 1: of time, during and after COVID that people will start
14:16
Speaker 1: to understand what's going on out there in the world
14:18
Speaker 1: when they go to the supermarket and they can only
14:20
Speaker 1: buy one stake because they've had their quota for the week.
14:24
Speaker 1: So I don't like where this is headed. And the
14:27
Speaker 1: other thing I'd say about it is that the reality
14:31
Speaker 1: here is there are lots of things that the government
14:33
Speaker 1: could do in terms of reducing the overall cost of
14:36
Speaker 1: living benefits. I mean, reducing the fuel excise for three months, well, okay, sure,
14:40
Speaker 1: what about removing it entirely, or what about making you know,
14:44
Speaker 1: the tax burden cheaper on this country so that other
14:47
Speaker 1: costs come down. You know, even if we don't have
14:49
Speaker 1: a fuel shortage and the end people are still paying
14:52
Speaker 1: huge amounts that the bows are regardless. So you know,
14:55
Speaker 1: this sort of these piecemeal attempts to try and trim
14:57
Speaker 1: the edges on what is a broader institutional problem which
15:00
Speaker 1: I might say has been caused by politics in this country,
15:04
Speaker 1: is unsatisfactory.
15:07
Speaker 3: Well, staying with the fuel crisis, and since two thousand,
15:11
Speaker 3: Australia's oil and petroleum production has dropped significantly to the
15:15
Speaker 3: point where we now import ninety percent of our liquid
15:19
Speaker 3: fuel needs. And meanwhile we've got Australia importing fifty percent
15:23
Speaker 3: from countries like Singapore, South Korea, thirty eight percent coming
15:27
Speaker 3: from Malaysia, and Asia relies alex heavily on the Middle
15:32
Speaker 3: East for its fuel imports, and the conflict in Iran,
15:35
Speaker 3: as we know, is interrupted supply. These figures really are
15:40
Speaker 3: an indictment on successive governments, not just the Aurban Easy government.
15:45
Speaker 3: Is this crisis an opportunity now to reassess the direction
15:49
Speaker 3: we've taken with energy in this country, with energy policy? Yeah?
15:55
Speaker 1: Well, look, I mean I think you make a very
15:56
Speaker 1: good point there in the sense that if one good
15:58
Speaker 1: thing comes from this terrible crisis, I think it's to
16:01
Speaker 1: burst the bubble on what we've been doing for the
16:03
Speaker 1: last twenty five years in this country. You're absolutely right.
16:05
Speaker 1: I mean, at the moment, most of the blame lies
16:08
Speaker 1: on successful labor governments and Greens cohorts that have gone
16:13
Speaker 1: with them. But you know, my side of politics cannot
16:15
Speaker 1: run from this. I mean, you know you go back
16:17
Speaker 1: twenty five years and it was a liberal government the
16:19
Speaker 1: first set targets for Kyoto, and I'm sorry, you know,
16:22
Speaker 1: we haven't been strong enough on this. We have allowed
16:25
Speaker 1: ourselves to acquiesce on things like net zero later on,
16:28
Speaker 1: and of course the Paris Agreement, which was another thing
16:30
Speaker 1: that was signed by a liberal government. So you know,
16:33
Speaker 1: I do think it's a bit rich for us, you know,
16:36
Speaker 1: to just sort of wash our hands at this. We
16:37
Speaker 1: have to be strong. This is one of the reasons
16:39
Speaker 1: why one nation are polling so well. They are taking
16:43
Speaker 1: that ground. People understand in this country that you may
16:46
Speaker 1: have views on whether or not the Earth is heating up.
16:48
Speaker 1: You may think that that little hoax is real, I don't.
16:52
Speaker 1: You may then think that Australians can do something about it.
16:55
Speaker 1: At one point two percent of the world's emissions in
16:58
Speaker 1: any event, I certainly don't think that. I don't think
17:00
Speaker 1: that stands any intellectual rigor. But ultimately we've got to
17:03
Speaker 1: be able to feed ourselves and drive and bring building
17:06
Speaker 1: materials in. So what's the priority here and why is
17:09
Speaker 1: it that politics isn't toughening up on this? And that
17:11
Speaker 1: applies to my side of the coin as.
17:13
Speaker 3: Well, now before you go, I want to get your
17:17
Speaker 3: thoughts on the more Deeming scandal here in Victoria. She
17:21
Speaker 3: must be the most mistreated MP in the country. After
17:24
Speaker 3: everything she endured. She was dumped from the Liberal Party's
17:28
Speaker 3: Upper House ticket for the state election here in Victoria
17:31
Speaker 3: coming up in November, and things have gone from bad
17:34
Speaker 3: to worse for the happless Victorian Libs, with the man
17:37
Speaker 3: who ousted Moiro Deeming, Dinesh Garrossetti Forster withdraw his candacy
17:42
Speaker 3: after it was revealed that he provided a character reference
17:45
Speaker 3: for a now convicted child sex offend alex It reads
17:49
Speaker 3: like some sort of a drama. It's so ridiculous. It
17:53
Speaker 3: almost seems like the Victorian Libs are determined to keep
17:56
Speaker 3: labor in power in this state.
18:00
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I mean, I'm sure that's not the case.
18:03
Speaker 1: But what I would say is, you know, I've got
18:05
Speaker 1: to know Moura really well over the last few years,
18:07
Speaker 1: and she's just a terrific person. She's a strong, courageous,
18:10
Speaker 1: principled person, and she's a great MP. And you know,
18:13
Speaker 1: I mean, the more time I spend to this building,
18:16
Speaker 1: the more I hear from all sides of politics how
18:19
Speaker 1: much we need women in politics, and you know how
18:21
Speaker 1: much we need you know, strong convicted people of conviction
18:26
Speaker 1: in this building. And yet when it comes to conservative politicians,
18:29
Speaker 1: female politicians, those rules don't seem to apply. So quite
18:32
Speaker 1: how it is that the Liberal Party, the division of
18:35
Speaker 1: the Victorian Division of the Liberal Party, has allowed Moya
18:37
Speaker 1: to slip through their fingers in this manner, is anyone's guess.
18:41
Speaker 1: I think it's a terrible shame and a terrible tragedy.
18:44
Speaker 1: And you know, look, I just think that politics is
18:48
Speaker 1: going to have to start taking stock of people who
18:51
Speaker 1: know how to fight. We need fighters in parliament, state, federal,
18:54
Speaker 1: in our territories, wherever it may be. And Moira is
18:57
Speaker 1: one of those people. She's a fighter, and she she's
19:00
Speaker 1: a great loss.
19:02
Speaker 3: And unlike many of the fighters within the coalition coalition ranks,
19:08
Speaker 3: she actually fights the other side. She actually engages in
19:12
Speaker 3: ideological battles with Labor and the Greens. You would think
19:15
Speaker 3: you would want those sorts of people in your camp.
19:18
Speaker 3: Alex Antick. Now, last time we spoke, you made a
19:22
Speaker 3: off the cough comment about you know, moving to one nation.
19:26
Speaker 3: You asked the question, you said, not yet, any further
19:30
Speaker 3: thoughts on that position. Are you happy with the Liberals?
19:36
Speaker 1: Well, well I should say not yet, of course.
19:38
Speaker 8: No.
19:39
Speaker 1: Look I think look, I'm you know, I think we've
19:42
Speaker 1: had a terrible last few weeks in South Australia. But
19:46
Speaker 1: you know, sometimes it's always darkest for the dawn. And
19:48
Speaker 1: I mean I'm a liberal through and through, have been forever.
19:52
Speaker 1: And you know, I don't have any plans. I've never
19:54
Speaker 1: really spoken to anyone about it. Honestly. Cory's one of
19:57
Speaker 1: my good friends and we talk all the time. And
20:00
Speaker 1: of course, as I said, he dragged me through the
20:02
Speaker 1: indignation of forcing me to order low car beers and
20:05
Speaker 1: on that time, and we had we had a chat.
20:06
Speaker 1: But other than that, there's there's really not much, not
20:09
Speaker 1: much to it. But you know, I mean as I've said,
20:11
Speaker 1: and I don't shy away from it despite what others say.
20:13
Speaker 1: I make the same observation about Pauline. You know, she
20:16
Speaker 1: is a strong you know, we don't we want more
20:18
Speaker 1: of these people in politics, So I've always said, I
20:20
Speaker 1: haven't read for it.
20:23
Speaker 3: We want strong people in politics from both both genders.
20:27
Speaker 3: At Senator Alexandrik, thank you for your time stealing Harmer
20:31
Speaker 3: lefties losing ed class. We'll have the latest from the US,
20:35
Speaker 3: including the No King's protest over the weekend. Josh Hammer
20:40
Speaker 3: is up the last you're watching the reader Pane his show,
20:53
Speaker 3: and it's time for lefties losing a Let's start with
20:56
Speaker 3: feral lefties abusing hard working ICE agents, calling these men
21:01
Speaker 3: of color foot soldiers of a fascist regime. The reaction
21:05
Speaker 3: from the agents is perfect.
21:08
Speaker 9: No thoughts, You guys are the foot soldiers of a
21:11
Speaker 9: fascist regime?
21:13
Speaker 10: Right?
21:13
Speaker 11: Is that not what it is?
21:16
Speaker 9: Is that funny?
21:18
Speaker 10: Is that funny?
21:22
Speaker 11: Yeah?
21:22
Speaker 3: It is pretty funny because you're ridiculous. And have you
21:26
Speaker 3: noticed that ICE agents tend to be far more diverse
21:29
Speaker 3: than the lefty losers abusing them, who are almost always white? Interesting,
21:35
Speaker 3: isn't it. Now let's check in on some of the
21:37
Speaker 3: celebrities taking part Impossibly the dumbest protest ever take place,
21:42
Speaker 3: the No King rallies. Guys, if you actually lived in
21:45
Speaker 3: the fascist dictatorship that you think you live in, well
21:49
Speaker 3: you wouldn't be able to have rallies. You'd be gunned
21:51
Speaker 3: down in the streets like protesters in Iran. Something lost
21:55
Speaker 3: on the likes of actress Jane Fonda and former MSNBC
22:00
Speaker 3: is joy read.
22:01
Speaker 12: Bring five routes, bring people who haven't gone to protest
22:05
Speaker 12: helfore No Kings is like a first step, you know,
22:09
Speaker 12: it's like reaching out a hand that's saying God, there's something.
22:13
Speaker 13: Everybody's here.
22:14
Speaker 12: You'll have one.
22:15
Speaker 14: You'll be people, and you can protest and look you
22:18
Speaker 14: while doing it and get out there.
22:20
Speaker 3: And no Kings arrived with five.
22:22
Speaker 10: Don't go anywhere alone in these autocratic streets.
22:26
Speaker 3: Yep, the lefties did bring their friends and they were
22:29
Speaker 3: waving Hezbola flags and her Mass flags and even the
22:34
Speaker 3: Hammering Sickle flags were flying high in the streets of
22:38
Speaker 3: New York. You know, that's the symbol of genuine oppression
22:41
Speaker 3: that has been responsible for tens of millions of deaths
22:45
Speaker 3: around the world. But back to the nincompoops, Elebs and
22:57
Speaker 3: Jane Fonda was back, this time with fellow aging star
23:00
Speaker 3: Bruce Springsteen. You know, these people are too old to
23:05
Speaker 3: be this stupid.
23:07
Speaker 13: Guess where we are, Guess who's there?
23:10
Speaker 3: No Kings do it talking about being too old to
23:15
Speaker 3: be this stupid. Leading the New York rally was Robert
23:19
Speaker 3: de Niro. There is holding a banner alongside Attorney General
23:22
Speaker 3: Letitian James and Reverend Al Sharpton, and sadly, Robert de
23:27
Speaker 3: Niro decided to give a speech. Now. In the past
23:31
Speaker 3: he has embarrassed himself trying to speak off the cuff,
23:34
Speaker 3: So this time he wrote a speech. It didn't go well.
23:39
Speaker 11: How can this be happening? Look at the power of
23:42
Speaker 11: the No Kings National Uprising. Look at the power of
23:48
Speaker 11: the No Kings National Uprising. Afraid of Trump? Please? No,
23:54
Speaker 11: they should be more afraid of us?
23:57
Speaker 3: Right, Okay, let's give him another guard. He is an actor.
24:03
Speaker 3: He should be able to write from a script.
24:06
Speaker 4: Tested the constitutional limits of their power. But none have
24:11
Speaker 4: been such an existential threat to our freedoms and security,
24:15
Speaker 4: none except Trump. He must be stopped, and he must
24:22
Speaker 4: be stopped now. And that's what No Kings is all about,
24:27
Speaker 4: because he can't do all the things that he's been
24:30
Speaker 4: doing without the collusion of Congress and the goons in
24:34
Speaker 4: his administration.
24:37
Speaker 3: This guy is railing against democracy. Sounds a little bit
24:42
Speaker 3: insurrectiony to me. He would be dangerous if he wasn't
24:46
Speaker 3: such an unseerious clown.
24:49
Speaker 4: It's diabolical. Afraid of Trump? Please no, they should be
24:55
Speaker 4: more afraid of us. Yes, because we still believe in
24:59
Speaker 4: the cour more American values of justice, equality, decency, and kindness.
25:06
Speaker 3: Just zero self awareness from that guy. What a way
25:10
Speaker 3: to destroy your legacy by showing what a delusional, hateful
25:13
Speaker 3: dem wit you are when you were once known simply
25:16
Speaker 3: as a great actor. Now why are they marching? Because
25:21
Speaker 3: they're crazy, hysterical and dangerously misinformed. In other words, their
25:26
Speaker 3: left is losing, and this woman is convinced that there
25:30
Speaker 3: are death camps on American soil. Seriously, no death camps
25:36
Speaker 3: on American sile, that's what you're saying. No death camps
25:42
Speaker 3: on an American style.
25:44
Speaker 2: No cats, no death cats.
25:47
Speaker 1: Okay, so that's right here, protest with them.
25:50
Speaker 2: Yeah, cut.
25:52
Speaker 10: Those camps, our death camps.
25:56
Speaker 2: Camps are raping.
25:59
Speaker 13: They do.
26:02
Speaker 3: So they can sell the little tussies and smugget So.
26:08
Speaker 9: Where are these camps at.
26:10
Speaker 12: H They looked du of Florida, the Florida, the Keys.
26:22
Speaker 3: I was just in the Florida Keys. Didn't see any
26:25
Speaker 3: death camps. Plenty of cocktails, tourists, roosters walking around. But
26:30
Speaker 3: back to our celebs, and it's not just your A
26:33
Speaker 3: listers joining these pathetic gatherings. The dalisters are there too.
26:37
Speaker 3: They were all part of this No King's movement, and
26:41
Speaker 3: that includes soap actress and failed Real Housewives of Beverly
26:44
Speaker 3: Hills cast member Eileen Davidson, who has been scared for
26:49
Speaker 3: the past ten years, well except for the few years
26:51
Speaker 3: where Biden was in charge.
26:54
Speaker 8: I have been feeling really scared. Uh actually for like
26:59
Speaker 8: the last ten years. I get my drift on and off,
27:01
Speaker 8: but especially right now. There's a lot of weird things
27:05
Speaker 8: going on. This war and I ran that nobody voted for,
27:07
Speaker 8: and yet here we are at war. I mean, how
27:10
Speaker 8: the stuff with the TSA, God bless them, Minneapolis, the
27:16
Speaker 8: killings there, Epstein files, The list's endless, and that's why
27:20
Speaker 8: it's so scary, right, It just seems like you can't
27:23
Speaker 8: see the light of day.
27:24
Speaker 3: And the dailists se libs aren't just taking part in
27:27
Speaker 3: No King's rallies bragging about being annoying Karen's harassing Ice agents.
27:33
Speaker 3: Here is Busy Phillips explaining Ice was in her neighborhood,
27:38
Speaker 3: on her street. She was so scared.
27:41
Speaker 13: I was in my neighborhood, an apartment building on my street,
27:45
Speaker 13: and I just stood there and was annoying, Like I
27:48
Speaker 13: was just an annoying white woman, and then they.
27:50
Speaker 15: I went into the front. I was just like, what
27:53
Speaker 15: are you doing? Why are you just standing there waiting
27:56
Speaker 15: at the door. I have a daughter, I'm a single mother.
27:59
Speaker 15: I can't and I just was like annoying them.
28:03
Speaker 13: Yes, and the guy. They weren't talking to me. They
28:05
Speaker 13: were like covert faces. They're like, ma'am. And I was like,
28:08
Speaker 13: you guys don't seem like police. I don't know what's
28:10
Speaker 13: going on. This is scary. I feel scared.
28:13
Speaker 3: The reverse Karen is such a gift to our society
28:17
Speaker 3: right now. Yeah, joining me now is Newsweek Senior editor
28:20
Speaker 3: at Large, Josh Hammer. Josh, what can you say about that?
28:25
Speaker 3: But they don't be about these nationwide no kings protest.
28:30
Speaker 3: What were they primarily against? Is the war against the
28:33
Speaker 3: Iranian regime? Against ice or everything Trump?
28:39
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, Rita, no one really knows. That's kind of
28:41
Speaker 2: the whole problem, isn't it.
28:42
Speaker 16: I mean, these people are just doing the whole performative
28:44
Speaker 16: outreach thing for the entire purpose of being performatively outraged.
28:47
Speaker 16: They're doing it because they it's kind of cathartic for them. Frankly,
28:51
Speaker 16: they really have no principles, no values. They probably have
28:55
Speaker 16: no social life, probably have no personal life. Frankly, they
28:57
Speaker 16: probably have no spiritual life. They really have no life, perio,
28:59
Speaker 16: because they're just a bunch of flaming, stinking losers. And
29:01
Speaker 16: this is basically their way of making them feel self
29:04
Speaker 16: entitled and ultimately go to sleep. And I'm thinking that
29:06
Speaker 16: they have shown it to the man, because, as you
29:09
Speaker 16: correctly point out, I actually could not tell you. I
29:12
Speaker 16: think some of these people think they're protesting ICE. I'm
29:15
Speaker 16: sure some think they're protesting the top lank of the
29:18
Speaker 16: Ayatollah kammey Nee. I mean inserts your left has caused
29:23
Speaker 16: the day, and I guess that's essentially what it is.
29:26
Speaker 16: I mean when it comes to ICE, in particular with
29:28
Speaker 16: this self anointed Karen that we just saw in this
29:31
Speaker 16: utterly heinous video. You know, ICE is just a law
29:35
Speaker 16: enforcement agency. This is something that is so easily lost
29:38
Speaker 16: in the conversation. The ICE exists for literally one purpose,
29:42
Speaker 16: to enforce this nation's immigration laws. If you don't like
29:46
Speaker 16: If you don't like this nation's immigration laws, readA. There
29:48
Speaker 16: was a very straightforward process in this constitutional structure here
29:52
Speaker 16: in the United States to change this nation's immigration laws.
29:54
Speaker 16: You lobby your member of Congress. Congress write the law.
29:57
Speaker 16: Ice is just enforcing the law. So the constitutional law
30:02
Speaker 16: guy in me sees this, I mean holding aside the
30:04
Speaker 16: inherent virtue of deporting legal lands, which I would defend
30:06
Speaker 16: until the day I die. But the constitutional law guy
30:09
Speaker 16: means sees it is like you're getting angry at the
30:11
Speaker 16: wrong people there taking If you actually are upset, call
30:14
Speaker 16: your congressman, like you actually just lobby the phone nubers
30:18
Speaker 16: a public. Literally call your congressman and say I want
30:20
Speaker 16: to change immigration for and that would actually, in theory,
30:22
Speaker 16: be a better use of your time than whatever the
30:24
Speaker 16: heck these no kings it us to do it.
30:27
Speaker 11: Well.
30:28
Speaker 3: It was a mismatch of different groups. I saw hammer
30:32
Speaker 3: and sickle flags. I think that was in New York
30:34
Speaker 3: City that were hes blah flags mass. I mean just
30:37
Speaker 3: about every deplorable segment of society seemed to be converging
30:43
Speaker 3: to protest against supposed King Trump. And again, if these
30:48
Speaker 3: people really genuinely believe they live under a dictator sheep,
30:51
Speaker 3: guess what, you wouldn't be protesting like that because you'd
30:54
Speaker 3: be gunned down. That's what happens in a dictator sheep.
30:57
Speaker 3: Like what happens in countries like Iran. But I'm interested.
31:01
Speaker 3: Are these protests organic at least? Or are they well
31:05
Speaker 3: funded and organized with the same sort of shady groups,
31:09
Speaker 3: the sous linked groups that we've seen in the past.
31:13
Speaker 2: Oh, they are all but as surely not organic.
31:16
Speaker 16: There's all sorts of new studies on this, actually so
31:19
Speaker 16: in real time. Actually, Fox news dot Com, to the
31:21
Speaker 16: great credit, have had They've now done a series of
31:23
Speaker 16: investigator reports talking about the extent to which foreign especially
31:27
Speaker 16: Chinese Communist Party adjacent to or Chinese Communist Party funded
31:31
Speaker 16: information operation groups are operating in the interior. The man there,
31:34
Speaker 16: who is the singular hub of the hub and spoke
31:37
Speaker 16: model is an American born tech tycoon who now lives
31:41
Speaker 16: in Shanghai. Is very close to the Chinese Commuist Party.
31:43
Speaker 16: Remember the name of Neville Roy Singham. He is the
31:46
Speaker 16: ultra hinde worth funder of a lot of subversive causes,
31:50
Speaker 16: including Code Pink. The notorious quote unquote anti war group
31:53
Speaker 16: is really just an anti American, anti Western group frankly,
31:56
Speaker 16: and they're also the funders of a group called the
31:58
Speaker 16: People's Forum. The People's Four were the ones Rita who
32:01
Speaker 16: are out there within hours, literally frankly, within minutes of
32:04
Speaker 16: the capture of Nicholas Maduro in Venezuela this past January.
32:07
Speaker 16: Also simultaneously out within minutes, out within minutes of the
32:11
Speaker 16: assassination of Ayatola Komny towards the end of February. There,
32:14
Speaker 16: it's all funded by this guy, Neville Singham, who was
32:16
Speaker 16: essentially a Chinese Communist Party plant, So that's happening on
32:20
Speaker 16: the one hand.
32:20
Speaker 2: On the other hand, there are a lot of the
32:22
Speaker 2: usual suspects.
32:23
Speaker 16: There's a Soros network, there's a Ties Foundation, there's all
32:26
Speaker 16: sorts of other leftist dark money. So very little of
32:28
Speaker 16: this actually is organifact. It was another news study from
32:31
Speaker 16: a great group out of New Jersey called NCRI, the
32:34
Speaker 16: Network Contagion Research Institute. There they were talking about actually
32:37
Speaker 16: Iranian information operations, so Iranian State Television Press TV actually
32:43
Speaker 16: works through American organizations as well to kind of disseminate
32:46
Speaker 16: the message there. So there's a lot of foreign information,
32:49
Speaker 16: a lot of foreign funding that results in things like
32:51
Speaker 16: the so called No King's Rally there. I'm sure that
32:54
Speaker 16: some of these idiots are just getting out there because
32:56
Speaker 16: it's just word of mouth and they're on some WhatsApp
32:58
Speaker 16: chat would have there, but a higher level rita very
33:01
Speaker 16: very little. This is organic and it's coming from fundamentally
33:05
Speaker 16: shady and Frankie also fundamentally anti American organizations individuals.
33:10
Speaker 3: Now you spoke at say PAC which was in Dallas
33:13
Speaker 3: this year, and there was a man who also spoke
33:16
Speaker 3: at sa PAC. We many hope will lead a free Iran.
33:20
Speaker 3: Prince Reza Pelavi. This is how he ended his speech
33:24
Speaker 3: to a room full of Iranian expats.
33:27
Speaker 9: Other than Trump is making America great again, I intend
33:32
Speaker 9: to make Iran great again. So together with my brave compatriots,
33:56
Speaker 9: that is exactly what we will do. Thank you God,
34:00
Speaker 9: bless America and lovely Yon.
34:06
Speaker 3: Josh, tell me about how the issue of Iran was
34:08
Speaker 3: handled during Saypack and how much this war is hurting
34:13
Speaker 3: President Trump domestically. Do you see the US exiting this
34:18
Speaker 3: conflict in a matter of days or weeks or could
34:21
Speaker 3: it be months?
34:23
Speaker 2: So first of all, Rea, let me just talk a
34:24
Speaker 2: little bit about the conference itself. So I do speak.
34:26
Speaker 2: I'm not very same sage. We just saw. They're from
34:28
Speaker 2: Raza Palabi.
34:30
Speaker 16: When I left the conference on I guess the day
34:32
Speaker 16: I spoke on Thursday, I met someone for lunch and
34:35
Speaker 16: I came back earlier for in a few hours before
34:36
Speaker 16: my speech, you see throngs of people, and my friends
34:40
Speaker 16: said to me, are these protesters? And I said, let's
34:43
Speaker 16: drive off. Let's see, and we get closer. We see
34:45
Speaker 16: they're not protesters. There are a ton of Persians. There
34:48
Speaker 16: was a massive, massive Persian presence at this conference. There
34:52
Speaker 16: were all these US flags with Israel flags, with the
34:54
Speaker 16: old Iranian flag, the flag from before the as Long
34:58
Speaker 16: Revolution of the old Shah regime. These photos of Razza
35:01
Speaker 16: Pallavi with with Trump. Even during my own speech there
35:04
Speaker 16: I saw in the back of the room the the
35:06
Speaker 16: waving of the old pre nineteen seventy nine Persian flag.
35:09
Speaker 16: So I don't know exactly how there was this gargantuan
35:13
Speaker 16: Persian presence at this conference. To my knowledge, reader, there's
35:16
Speaker 16: not a massive Persian diaspora population in Dallas, for worth.
35:19
Speaker 16: In America, the largest person diasper populations are Los Angeles
35:22
Speaker 16: and Long Islands, especially in Great Neck, New York. So
35:25
Speaker 16: I don't know if they travel for this there, but
35:27
Speaker 16: it was genuinely impressive. As someone who speaks a lot
35:29
Speaker 16: of conferences there, I was really kind of in awe
35:32
Speaker 16: at the ability of the Persian people in United States
35:34
Speaker 16: who show up for this conference. So a lot of
35:36
Speaker 16: that we just saw there in that brief clip of
35:39
Speaker 16: the of the exiled Crown Prince. Now, as far as
35:41
Speaker 16: the actual issue of Iran, at this conference, there were
35:44
Speaker 16: a couple of people who gave their their hardcore anti
35:48
Speaker 16: war and spick shtick excuse me, their spiel. We had
35:52
Speaker 16: Matt Gates, we had Steve Bann and a couple of
35:54
Speaker 16: people at that there. But we have straw poles rita
35:56
Speaker 16: on this topic there, and the straw poles show that
35:59
Speaker 16: the overwhelming majority of people there at seatpap by something
36:02
Speaker 16: like an eighty five to fifteen or ninety ten margin,
36:05
Speaker 16: supports Donald Trump, taking out commenting that this is not
36:08
Speaker 16: a close issue and this is just one of those
36:10
Speaker 16: many things where there's so much data on this showing
36:13
Speaker 16: that this narrative of a Maga civil war when it
36:16
Speaker 16: comes to Iran, there it just doesn't hold up. Republicans.
36:20
Speaker 16: Trump supporters are overwhelmingly supportive of what has happened thus
36:24
Speaker 16: far in Iran. Now, I do caveat a little bit
36:26
Speaker 16: and say thus far because there is this open question
36:28
Speaker 16: as as to what exactly comes next and how long
36:30
Speaker 16: this is going to go on. I do not think
36:32
Speaker 16: that Donald Trump is There's no chance he's going to
36:34
Speaker 16: put a sustained ground operation in place. You're not going
36:37
Speaker 16: to see US forces marching from the Persian Gulf unto Tehran.
36:40
Speaker 2: That is simply not going to happen.
36:41
Speaker 16: Then, now there are all sorts of rumors of up
36:43
Speaker 16: to potentially ten thousand additional marines and the eighty second Airborne,
36:47
Speaker 16: various other infantry potentially headed to the region. I think
36:50
Speaker 16: the most that you could see is a concerted effort
36:52
Speaker 16: to take carg Island and various other strategic islands there
36:55
Speaker 16: near the Straight of hor Moves. You're not going to
36:57
Speaker 16: see a full scale land invasion ultimate readA. My stance
37:00
Speaker 16: on this since day one has been pretty clear to me.
37:03
Speaker 16: The objectives of Operation Epic Fury from an American perspective
37:06
Speaker 16: are quite clear, which is that we want to see
37:08
Speaker 16: the neutralization of the Islama Republic of Iron as a
37:11
Speaker 16: threat to the United States and our interests Objectively. That
37:14
Speaker 16: goal has unfortunately not quite been met yet. It's been
37:18
Speaker 16: an a staggerantly successful operation thus far. No doubt about that,
37:22
Speaker 16: but Iron is still launching missiles. They're still launching drones
37:25
Speaker 16: that they fired two and a half thousand miles at
37:27
Speaker 16: Diego Garcia, the joint American British military base in the
37:30
Speaker 16: Indian Ocean, just last weekend. So they're still firing. So
37:32
Speaker 16: unless until their arsenal is truly depleted and they are
37:35
Speaker 16: genuinely truly not a threat, the enrich ERANEU missecured. But
37:39
Speaker 16: there are various things that haven't quite been done yet.
37:41
Speaker 16: Unless until it happens there, I think Trump's going to
37:43
Speaker 16: continue to push this thing full speed ahead.
37:47
Speaker 3: Now. Donald Trump was asked by The Five on Fox
37:51
Speaker 3: News about the rumors of the new Ietola being gay.
37:55
Speaker 3: Have a listen.
37:57
Speaker 12: Did the CIA tell you that Iotol Junior's gay?
38:02
Speaker 15: Well, they did say that, but I don't know if
38:04
Speaker 15: it was only them, but I think a lot.
38:05
Speaker 17: Of people are saying that, which puts them off to
38:08
Speaker 17: a bad start in that particular country.
38:13
Speaker 3: In that particular country, of course, homosexuality is illegal in Iran.
38:18
Speaker 3: Joshi also went on the President to note the absurdity
38:22
Speaker 3: of these groups like Queers for Palestine and that struck
38:28
Speaker 3: me too during these No Kings march as we saw
38:30
Speaker 3: over the weekend, we've had all the feminists the Handmaid's
38:35
Speaker 3: Tail performance that they put on. They are marching for
38:40
Speaker 3: the regime that actually does that to women, that actually
38:44
Speaker 3: systematically subjugates women, beats them, imprisons them, sometimes even kills
38:50
Speaker 3: them for not covering their hair. They're not equal under
38:54
Speaker 3: the law. And yet we've got people marching against the
38:58
Speaker 3: Iranian regime being decimated.
39:02
Speaker 16: You know read I've been following this issue for very
39:04
Speaker 16: long times, as I know you have as well. And
39:06
Speaker 16: I remember when the former president mahmuna Achmadenjod was invited
39:10
Speaker 16: by Columbia University, the Ivy League school in New York State,
39:13
Speaker 16: to speak. This is roughly two decades ago, highly highly controversial,
39:17
Speaker 16: I would say, evil decision by Columba University. And at
39:19
Speaker 16: the time, some students Interlock leader asked Akman Jinjod about
39:23
Speaker 16: homosexuality and homosexuals in Iran, to which he said, we
39:28
Speaker 16: have none of them here. There are no homosexuals in Iran.
39:31
Speaker 16: Is It's what he said, And I can't help but
39:33
Speaker 16: think about what he would have said if he knew
39:36
Speaker 16: that the next Ayatola would allegedly be gay. It's just
39:39
Speaker 16: one of those very funny quirks of history you can't
39:42
Speaker 16: help but laugh frankly when you think about it. I
39:44
Speaker 16: think the more relevant question about about come Any the
39:48
Speaker 16: second little junior, is is he still alive?
39:51
Speaker 2: We actually have not seen him.
39:53
Speaker 16: He's apparently at least in a coma, he's at least
39:57
Speaker 16: severely wounded, possibly even had a lake amputay there. So
40:00
Speaker 16: there's a lot of details left to be filled in
40:03
Speaker 16: when it comes to that particular thing. But to your
40:05
Speaker 16: broader point here, this whole thing of queers for Palestine,
40:07
Speaker 16: queers for Iran, I mean, you might as well just
40:09
Speaker 16: be chickens for chick fil a. I mean, like, what
40:11
Speaker 16: exactly are you are?
40:12
Speaker 4: You?
40:12
Speaker 16: Are you claiming to do? But I mean read the
40:16
Speaker 16: way that I can make it makes sense because I
40:18
Speaker 16: always think back to the fact that the left has
40:20
Speaker 16: had an insatiable appetite for political violence, going back at
40:24
Speaker 16: least as far as the French Revolution nearly two and
40:27
Speaker 16: a half centuries ago. The origins of the modern left,
40:29
Speaker 16: whether it's the French Revolution, whether it's Marxism, whether it's
40:32
Speaker 16: all the failed utopian schemes of the twentieth century, there
40:35
Speaker 16: leftism here, there and everywhere leads to violence. And it's
40:39
Speaker 16: the late great David Horwitz and famously said that inside
40:41
Speaker 16: every progressive is a totalitarian waiting to scream out.
40:45
Speaker 2: And you might not think that these.
40:47
Speaker 16: Progressives that's very progressive to talk about shria law and
40:50
Speaker 16: harsh theocraticismism, and it's really not. But it only makes
40:54
Speaker 16: sense when you realize that inherent in the contemporary leftism
40:58
Speaker 16: is this yearning, this thirst for violence. That's how I
41:01
Speaker 16: make it makes sense.
41:01
Speaker 3: At least, and it explains this unholy alliance. Helps explain
41:07
Speaker 3: the unholy alliance between the modern left and Islamists. They
41:11
Speaker 3: have a shared enemy, but they also seem to have
41:14
Speaker 3: a tasteful political violence. Josh Hammah, thank you so much
41:17
Speaker 3: for your time tonight.
41:18
Speaker 2: Thank you.
41:20
Speaker 3: Still to come is King Charles softening his stance with
41:23
Speaker 3: Prodigal's son Prince Harry Kinsey Schofield has the details. Welcome back.
41:39
Speaker 3: Let's go back to the no King's mass tantrum across
41:43
Speaker 3: the US and one of our favorite aging rockers they
41:46
Speaker 3: always Lefty losing at Miss Green, Bruce Springsteen had this
41:50
Speaker 3: to say in Minneapolis.
41:52
Speaker 17: Let's pass Runner, Federal truths brought death and tearor to
41:57
Speaker 17: the streets of Minneapolis. They picked the wrong city, and
42:02
Speaker 17: this reactionary nightmare and these invasions of American cities will
42:07
Speaker 17: not stand. You gave us hope, You gave us courage.
42:13
Speaker 17: And for those who gave their lives, Rene Good, mother
42:17
Speaker 17: of three, brutally murdered, alex pretty v a nurse executed
42:23
Speaker 17: by Ice, shot in the back and left to die
42:26
Speaker 17: in the street without even the decency of our lawless
42:30
Speaker 17: government investigating their deaths.
42:34
Speaker 3: You know, all the left do is alive. Those two
42:37
Speaker 3: agitators were not gunned down in cold blood like protesters
42:41
Speaker 3: in Irana. They were captured on video attacking Ice agent.
42:46
Speaker 3: One was armed with a loaded gun and the other
42:49
Speaker 3: random officer with her car. Did Bruce forget to mention
42:52
Speaker 3: that if aligned to a group of simpletons wasn't bad enough.
42:56
Speaker 3: Bruce then sang and a warning here you're about to
43:00
Speaker 3: hear is bloody awful.
43:07
Speaker 17: See a flame for fire and ice. Nithanachi pars boots
43:15
Speaker 17: King Trump's private army from the diageous.
43:21
Speaker 3: Let's bring in the host of the Kinsey Schofield Unfiltered podcast, Kinsey.
43:27
Speaker 3: There were a lot of celebrities, including Bruce Springsteen promoting
43:31
Speaker 3: and taking part in this rally. Weren't they?
43:35
Speaker 10: I think Bruce Springsteen and I have a different definition
43:38
Speaker 10: when it comes to invasion of you know, the invading
43:41
Speaker 10: of cities exactly. I mean, like, I don't think that
43:45
Speaker 10: we have the same definition there. But it was the
43:48
Speaker 10: usual suspects nationwide Andette Benning, Kathy Decapitation photo Griffin, Robert
43:54
Speaker 10: de Niro, Jane Fonda. I know entertainers rarely prioritize education,
44:00
Speaker 10: but we foind a Ward two hundred and fifty years
44:02
Speaker 10: ago to reject monarchy. We're a constitutional republic, meaning the
44:06
Speaker 10: head of state and head of government is an elected
44:09
Speaker 10: president currently Donald Trump and leaders serve fixed terms and
44:14
Speaker 10: can be replaced through elections.
44:16
Speaker 3: We don't have a king, I mean we don't.
44:19
Speaker 10: This looks silly, it looks ridiculous, and it looks like
44:23
Speaker 10: a hissy fit. And I just want to think we're
44:26
Speaker 10: smarter than this, But clearly we're not.
44:30
Speaker 3: Mass hissy fit. But I think the great majority of
44:33
Speaker 3: Americans are smarter. It's the usual suspects. It was the
44:37
Speaker 3: same people marching for BLM, same people taking part in
44:41
Speaker 3: climate change protest. It's the usual suspects. This is what
44:46
Speaker 3: they do. They've just got different banners each time. Now
44:49
Speaker 3: let's talk about signal or oils virgu signals. Now we've
44:54
Speaker 3: got reports indicating Prince Harry is hopeful that he and
44:58
Speaker 3: his family can be reunited in Norfolk this summer. He's
45:03
Speaker 3: expecting the King to spend some family time with him
45:07
Speaker 3: and Meghan and the kids. Kinsey, it's been more than
45:11
Speaker 3: four years since Harry and Meghan's children have seen their grandfather.
45:17
Speaker 3: Is it likely that he's going to be brought back
45:19
Speaker 3: into the fold? Is the King going to welcome back
45:22
Speaker 3: his prodigal son.
45:24
Speaker 10: Well, nice transition there from virtue signalers to Harry and
45:27
Speaker 10: Meghan speaking of celebrities that jump on any trend that
45:31
Speaker 10: they think will make them look good.
45:33
Speaker 3: Let's talk about Ariyan Meghan.
45:35
Speaker 10: I mean, I think it was a little sinister about
45:37
Speaker 10: this new piece is a Ravic security associate accusing Prince
45:42
Speaker 10: Harry of using a meeting with his children basically as
45:45
Speaker 10: extortion to try to secure automatic armed police protection in
45:49
Speaker 10: the UK going forward. The source that everyone must be
45:52
Speaker 10: horrified by any suggestion of using the King's grandchildren as
45:56
Speaker 10: a former bargaining tool in that process. That's why I
45:59
Speaker 10: don't believe Harry really wants to spend the summer in
46:02
Speaker 10: standring him. I think he's just trying to manipulate his
46:05
Speaker 10: way when it comes to that security. Ultimately, Rita, do
46:08
Speaker 10: you really believe Prince Harry wants to spend time so
46:11
Speaker 10: close to Uncle Andrew right now in Sandringham.
46:14
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, I'm just not buying it. No, probably not.
46:19
Speaker 3: But I think he's also losing that relevancy so to
46:23
Speaker 3: be seen with the royals, to be seen with the
46:25
Speaker 3: King and the future King. I don't know. I think
46:28
Speaker 3: it lifts his standing from just being a bit of
46:30
Speaker 3: a pest in California right now. Now, it's some big news.
46:34
Speaker 3: Over the weekend, golf superstar Tiger Woods was arrested for
46:38
Speaker 3: driving under the influence after he rolled his car in Florida.
46:41
Speaker 3: It was deja voul over again. Page six is reporting
46:45
Speaker 3: that his girlfriend, Vanessa Trump has given him a fierce
46:49
Speaker 3: ultimatum after this latest misdemeanor, and insider close to the
46:53
Speaker 3: couple told The Daily Mail she's not happy at all.
46:57
Speaker 3: She's both disappointed and a little bit it pissed. If
47:01
Speaker 3: I'm being honest, it's a definite red flag, and she
47:05
Speaker 3: told him that he's going to get his get this
47:08
Speaker 3: sorted out, and that she's going to require that kid's ill.
47:12
Speaker 3: Thought Tiger had turned over a new leaf.
47:16
Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean, we don't believe it was alcohol. He
47:19
Speaker 10: refused the urine test at the police station, so some
47:22
Speaker 10: suspect it could potentially have been prescription pillary related. Tiger
47:27
Speaker 10: has numerous injuries to his body and often finds himself
47:31
Speaker 10: in pain, but he's also a notorious menace when it
47:36
Speaker 10: comes to driving. And it's not just Vanessa who's fed
47:39
Speaker 10: up with Tiger's driving. Close friends or speaking out basically
47:42
Speaker 10: saying he's fifty years old and he needs to grow up,
47:45
Speaker 10: some of them telling People Magazine he's enabled by people
47:48
Speaker 10: making money off of his talent and reputation, but with
47:51
Speaker 10: his injuries in age, he is frustrated and depressed about
47:55
Speaker 10: his state of health. He wants to play in major
47:57
Speaker 10: tournaments like the Masters, but he needs to get real.
48:00
Speaker 10: Once he does that, he should be better off because
48:03
Speaker 10: people do like Tiger.
48:05
Speaker 2: He's a good person.
48:08
Speaker 3: Oh, he's beloved. I mean, he's a sporting legend, once
48:11
Speaker 3: in a generation player, now singer, singing legend, Lionel Richie
48:16
Speaker 3: has issued a reality check to Chapel, Roan and other
48:21
Speaker 3: celebrities after Chapel's latest controversy making Jude Law's eleven year
48:26
Speaker 3: old daughter cry. Now listen to this sage advice from Lionel.
48:32
Speaker 14: The thing that happens a lot of times is I
48:34
Speaker 14: tell people when they get into the business, there's one
48:37
Speaker 14: thing you didn't calculate. I hope you like people. Yeah,
48:41
Speaker 14: because if you don't like people, his how it's going
48:43
Speaker 14: to sound. You spend the first half of your career
48:46
Speaker 14: going look at me, look at me, look at me,
48:47
Speaker 14: look at me, look at me, and then you finally
48:49
Speaker 14: get famous. Don't look at me. Don't look at me,
48:51
Speaker 14: don't look at me. Fun I'm going, okay, Now, what
48:54
Speaker 14: did the universe gave you what you were asking for? Now?
48:58
Speaker 14: What is that about people? You don't like? Or you
49:00
Speaker 14: want to be famous and rich without the people? Doesn't
49:04
Speaker 14: work like that. It doesn't work like that.
49:07
Speaker 3: Kinsey finally a celebrity with some common sense and also
49:12
Speaker 3: some much needed perspective. I mean, he absolutely spells it
49:16
Speaker 3: out there. How do you hope to be famous doing
49:20
Speaker 3: what you love without having attention on you constant attention.
49:25
Speaker 10: Yeah, to quote the Pussycat Dolls, be careful what you
49:27
Speaker 10: wish for, because you just might get it. If chaparal
49:30
Speaker 10: Ron wants us to ignore her, I'd be happy to,
49:34
Speaker 10: But she's going to watch her opportunities dry up along
49:37
Speaker 10: with our interest.
49:39
Speaker 3: Kincy Schofield, thank you so much for your time tonight,
49:41
Speaker 3: and that's it for me. Newsnight is up next
