  Speaker 1: Starting right now, The Rita Panaghi Show.
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: Good evening and welcome to The Rita Panaghi Show. Coming
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: up tonight, members of the leftist media push for greater
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: censorship under Labor's digital safety bill. Daniel Weil will join
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: me to discuss the day's top headlines. An Australian comic
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: celebrates the anniversary of Charlie Kirk's murder. Clista Clements has
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: some thoughts on that. John Hynderaker will have the latest
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: from the US, including Donald Trump's eventful trip to Ireland.
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: And Saturday Night Live makes fun of Harry and Meghan's
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: return to the UK. Kinsey Schofield will have more on
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: that and the latest entertainment news. And Lefty's Losing It
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: features an almighty meltdown from MS Now anchor Joe Scarborough.
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: Who has forgotten it?
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: That's it.
• 0:54
  Speaker 4: Listen, who do I look like?
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: Do I look stupid to you?
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: Do I look stupid? Look at me. Look at me
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: in my eyes. I'm looking at you in your eyes.
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: Look at me in my eyes. And do you think
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: that I'm going to be distracted? But first, Jim Chalmers
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: is set to deliver the worst decade of productivity in
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: more than 60 years. The worst decade of productivity this
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: country has seen since records began in 1960. This is
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: According to analysis from the Business Council of Australia, which
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: represents the country's largest employers, BCA Chief Executive Brian Black
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: said this should be a wake-up call for the government.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: He also said government policies in tax, workplace relations and
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: regulation impact productivity and have made it so much harder
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: for businesses and the economy to grow. Joining me now
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: is Deputy Executive Director at the Institute of Public Affairs,
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: Daniel Wilde. Dan, the Prime Minister and Treasurer reluctantly accept
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: that this is an issue, but they are standing by
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: their records. The Treasurer said yesterday that we are delivering
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: the broadest productivity package since the 1990s, cutting red tape
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: by over $ 10 billion a year, boosting GDP by $ 13
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: billion and cutting taxes for businesses and start-ups by over
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: $ 3. 8 billion a year. Dan, is the Business Council of
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: Australia misinformed on all of that and what the Albanese
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: government is doing to boost productivity?
• 2:24
  Speaker 5: Well, it's a joke. I mean, Chalmers has just said,
• 2:26
  Speaker 5: what was it, GDP is $ 13 billion higher. I mean,
• 2:29
  Speaker 5: the entire size of our economy is something like $ 2. 5 trillion.
• 2:33
  Speaker 5: So even on his own numbers, it's bugger all that
• 2:35
  Speaker 5: they're doing. And, you know, what this government is focused
• 2:39
  Speaker 5: on is not growth but redistribution. All they're doing is
• 2:42
  Speaker 5: moving money around the economy, not actually growing it. And
• 2:45
  Speaker 5: to the extent that there is any growth, it's coming
• 2:47
  Speaker 5: from population growth underpinned by mass migration, not from productivity growth.
• 2:51
  Speaker 5: In fact, last year over 90% of Australia's total economic
• 2:55
  Speaker 5: growth came from population growth as opposed to productivity growth.
• 3:01
  Speaker 5: And you look at the government's own budget papers, they're
• 3:03
  Speaker 5: basically conceding that the best it's going to get is 2.5%
• 3:06
  Speaker 5: GDP growth every year. In the hawk years, you had
• 3:09
  Speaker 5: four or 5% GDP growth. So I think that Jim
• 3:13
  Speaker 5: Chalmers is in denial. And unfortunately, there's no hope in
• 3:16
  Speaker 5: sight on the economic front for Australians.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: Explain to my audience the importance of productivity, because I
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: think some see it as an abstract concept. They don't
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: understand how it impacts their day-to-day life. But productivity is
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: a real measure of living standards, isn't it? If your
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: productivity levels aren't great, your living standards are probably going backwards.
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: Well, that's right.
• 3:40
  Speaker 5: I mean, productivity growth basically means you can earn more
• 3:42
  Speaker 5: money and work less hours or work fewer hours. I mean,
• 3:45
  Speaker 5: that's basically what you want. So, you know, we can
• 3:47
  Speaker 5: do more with the existing things that we have, which
• 3:50
  Speaker 5: is why productivity growth is the only way of actually
• 3:52
  Speaker 5: increasing income. If you're getting higher economic growth through population growth,
• 3:58
  Speaker 5: your economy will be bigger but you've also got more
• 4:00
  Speaker 5: mouths to feed at the same time and so therefore
• 4:02
  Speaker 5: the benefits of that dissipate. So productivity growth is really
• 4:05
  Speaker 5: the only way of getting better living standards for everybody
• 4:09
  Speaker 5: over the long term and that's why it's so important.
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: Now, Labor's digital safety bill was unveiled last week. We've
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: discussed it at great length on this program, the draconian
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: nature of the bill, the threat to free speech, the
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: extraordinary powers It would grant the communications minister, Annika Wells,
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: the worrying role of the leftist activist e-safety commissioner as well.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: And we know she has a track record of wanting
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: to censor mainstream opinion, like if you believe that men
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: can't breastfeed. Apparently that's a harmful opinion that needs to
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: be censored. But on the ABC, they are gung-ho for
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: more censorship. Have a listen to Sarah Martin from The Guardian.
• 4:54
  Speaker 6: This is harmful content that is being, like, mainlined into children.
• 4:59
  Speaker 6: And I feel like, whose free speech are we censoring here? Like,
• 5:03
  Speaker 6: the internet? Are we censoring the internet? Well, it probably
• 5:05
  Speaker 6: needs a bit of censorship, right? Like, there's a good
• 5:07
  Speaker 6: argument for it.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: Dan, what's your response to that?
• 5:11
  Speaker 5: Well, maybe the Guardian should be censored, see how they
• 5:13
  Speaker 5: like it, you know, when the shoe's on the other foot.
• 5:16
  Speaker 5: I mean, this is what's going to happen, right? I mean,
• 5:18
  Speaker 5: wait until you get One Nation on the government benches
• 5:20
  Speaker 5: and they're in charge of these powers. Is that what
• 5:21
  Speaker 5: you want to do? This is not a smart play whatsoever.
• 5:25
  Speaker 5: The reality is that this legislation that was released is
• 5:28
  Speaker 5: all about the government trying to suppress One Nation's vote
• 5:31
  Speaker 5: because they lost the by-election in Western Australia. And Albanese
• 5:35
  Speaker 5: himself has said it was because of the algorithms. No,
• 5:38
  Speaker 5: it's not because of the algorithms. It's because people don't
• 5:40
  Speaker 5: like you and your government. That's why Labor's losing. So,
• 5:43
  Speaker 5: you know, this is designed to artificially prop up Labor's
• 5:47
  Speaker 5: standing in the polls. It is a very cynical political ploy.
• 5:51
  Speaker 5: As you rightly point out, it would grant sweeping unprecedented
• 5:55
  Speaker 5: powers to the communications minister who has been unable to
• 5:58
  Speaker 5: explain this, even the basics of this law. or proposed law,
• 6:01
  Speaker 5: she can't explain it. So, you know, this is this
• 6:04
  Speaker 5: is terrible. But this is the third time that they're
• 6:06
  Speaker 5: trying to do it. They tried firstly with the misinformation
• 6:09
  Speaker 5: laws a couple of years ago. Then they tried it
• 6:12
  Speaker 5: with the hate speech laws in the wake of Bondi. Now,
• 6:14
  Speaker 5: both of those ended up getting kiboshed. So this is
• 6:16
  Speaker 5: their third run at trying to grant powers either to
• 6:20
  Speaker 5: a minister or, as you say, to the e-safety commissioner
• 6:23
  Speaker 5: to censor the incident and what Australians can say.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: Dan, it really is such a sinister policy. And I
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: know what you're saying about the fact that it could
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: backfire on Labor, it could backfire on the Greens, and
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: you can have One Nation in charge and determining what
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: sort of speech is acceptable. But these sorts of policies,
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: this sort of censorship seems to serve the left, and
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: they know that, and that's why they relentlessly pursue it. Now,
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: let's stick with the communications and sports minister, Annika Wells,
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: who has Confirmed she will be at the AFL Grand Final.
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: She says it's important for ministers to be on the
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: ground at major sporting events.
• 7:04
  Speaker 7: It's a huge event in both the communications and sports
• 7:08
  Speaker 7: stakeholder calendars. Everybody, be it broadcast CEOs, be it national
• 7:15
  Speaker 7: sport organisations, executives, expect to be able to see their
• 7:18
  Speaker 7: sport minister and they expect their sport minister to be
• 7:20
  Speaker 7: on the ground.
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: Can't believe she's trying to justify this, Dad. You'd think
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: the Minister for Ooshies would have more important things to
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: attend to than another junket.
• 7:31
  Speaker 5: Yeah, well, she's not going to be on the ground,
• 7:32
  Speaker 5: is she? She's going to be in a corporate box. So,
• 7:34
  Speaker 5: you know, there's another piece of misinformation. And, like, who
• 7:37
  Speaker 5: are the stakeholders? She talks about the CEOs. What about
• 7:39
  Speaker 5: the people? What about the actual people that go to
• 7:42
  Speaker 5: the game? She's not interested in them whatsoever. It's all
• 7:44
  Speaker 5: about hobnobbing around. with donors to the Labor Party. Now,
• 7:48
  Speaker 5: that's what this is about. You get access, pay to play.
• 7:50
  Speaker 5: You know, that's how they do this thing here. So,
• 7:53
  Speaker 5: you know, I just don't think, OK, does a sports
• 7:55
  Speaker 5: minister have a role to play in some of this?
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: Sure.
• 7:57
  Speaker 5: But Annika Wells has a proven track record of misusing
• 8:01
  Speaker 5: taxpayer funds and trying then to actively mislead the Australian
• 8:05
  Speaker 5: public about it. So, you know, I just don't understand
• 8:08
  Speaker 5: why they would do this, particularly when she can't even
• 8:10
  Speaker 5: explain the laws, as we just discussed, the digital duty
• 8:12
  Speaker 5: of care laws. She should be at home. boning up
• 8:16
  Speaker 5: on the laws rather than spending her time in a
• 8:18
  Speaker 5: corporate box at taxpayer cost.
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: Now, One Nation's immigration policy has been unveiled and the
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: party is promising to slash migrant intake by around 760,000
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: over a three-year period. The policy will target reductions in
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: five key areas, student visas, graduate visas, also temporary skilled visas,
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: bridging visas and and unlawful non-citizens and people on expired visas.
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: We've got about, oh, anywhere 70,000 to 80,000 of those.
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: The majority of visa applications will also need to be
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: made overseas, with the exception of graduate visas and temporary
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: skilled visas for foreign students. Applications from countries marked do
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: not travel by smart traveller will also be cause. Dan,
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: Pacific and working holidaymakers, they are crucial to regional and
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: agricultural communities. They're going to be unaffected by these changes,
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: these proposed changes. What's your assessment of this policy?
• 9:22
  Speaker 5: Well, overall, this is a very good policy. I think
• 9:25
  Speaker 5: it's a game changer. We obviously need to have a
• 9:27
  Speaker 5: reset of our immigration system. The other part of their
• 9:30
  Speaker 5: policy is to have a negative net overseas migration intake
• 9:33
  Speaker 5: for three years. is what they've said in the documentation
• 9:36
  Speaker 5: that they've made available to the public. So this is
• 9:38
  Speaker 5: something that has to happen. Our immigration system is not
• 9:42
  Speaker 5: serving the interest of the Australian public. It is serving
• 9:45
  Speaker 5: the interest of universities, of the big corporates, of migration
• 9:49
  Speaker 5: agents and of other sectional interests, but it's not working
• 9:52
  Speaker 5: in the interest of our country. Clearly, there needs to
• 9:55
  Speaker 5: be a very big cut. Dramatic corrective action is needed.
• 9:58
  Speaker 5: And on the face of it, based on having read
• 10:01
  Speaker 5: through these numbers, this is the way to go. I
• 10:03
  Speaker 5: think it's only fair that the universities basically have to
• 10:08
  Speaker 5: do the lion's share of the work here because they
• 10:11
  Speaker 5: have abused our migration system for so long. And, you know,
• 10:14
  Speaker 5: the point here is not to blame migrants themselves because
• 10:17
  Speaker 5: Of course, you'd want to come here. You know, we're
• 10:19
  Speaker 5: the greatest nation on earth. And if I was on
• 10:21
  Speaker 5: the other side of the border, I'd be doing everything
• 10:23
  Speaker 5: I could to get into our country. But we need
• 10:25
  Speaker 5: to have a regulated, orderly migration system. And I think
• 10:29
  Speaker 5: what One Nation has put out there would go a
• 10:32
  Speaker 5: long way to achieving that.
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: What about the response we've seen today? There's been a
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: lot of scaremongering, members of the Labor Party, even some
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: of the members of the Coalition, saying a policy like
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: this would plunge the country into recession. Well, that's nonsense.
• 10:51
  Speaker 5: We're already in a per capita recession and migration is
• 10:55
  Speaker 5: causing it. Migration is the economic problem. If you don't
• 10:59
  Speaker 5: understand that, you're nowhere near you're nowhere near reality. So
• 11:03
  Speaker 5: look at what Canada did. Canada cut immigration to the
• 11:06
  Speaker 5: point where they had negative overall population growth and their
• 11:09
  Speaker 5: per capita growth went up. So cutting immigration, because it's
• 11:12
  Speaker 5: too big and it's too misdirected, cutting it now is
• 11:15
  Speaker 5: going to increase living standards for Australians. Now, yes, you'll
• 11:18
  Speaker 5: have the usual vested interests and so forth that are
• 11:22
  Speaker 5: going to cry about it. But the reality is dramatically
• 11:25
  Speaker 5: cutting immigration is going to be good for our economy
• 11:27
  Speaker 5: and good for our society.
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: Now I want to play you a video of students,
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: part of the socialist alternative, who've released a video calling
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: Pauline Hanson racist and encouraging people to attend a student strike.
• 11:43
  Speaker 8: Pauline Hanson hates international students.
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: Hanson is equivalent to the Australian Trump.
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: He is a nationalist, a sexist, and an extremist. Especially
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: for Asians.
• 11:53
  Speaker 9: In college, international students are treated as moneylenders.
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: Dan, the student strikes are an issue in themselves. International
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: students interfering in domestic politics is another issue. And for me,
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: so is the nerve of anyone with any connection to
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: a communist country using our freedoms to promote socialism. How
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: do you see it?
• 12:19
  Speaker 5: Well, I just think it's laughable. I mean, do you
• 12:21
  Speaker 5: need any more evidence that the international student visas need
• 12:25
  Speaker 5: to be cut? I mean, this is, you know, why
• 12:28
  Speaker 5: are these people here at our universities? It makes absolutely
• 12:30
  Speaker 5: no sense whatsoever. You know, if people want to protest,
• 12:34
  Speaker 5: that's their business. But I think it goes to the
• 12:37
  Speaker 5: fact that students aren't learning anything on campus. Universities aren't
• 12:40
  Speaker 5: providing an education that's valuable to And unfortunately, a lot
• 12:44
  Speaker 5: of young Australians and students more generally have just had
• 12:47
  Speaker 5: this nonsense drummed into them from a young age. And,
• 12:50
  Speaker 5: you know, we're seeing the negative impacts of that throughout
• 12:53
  Speaker 5: our society.
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: Now, an Australian associate professor who collaborated with Chinese military
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: scientists on covert surveillance has been handed another taxpayer grant
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: for high security research. University of New South Wales engineering associate,
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: Professor Derek Wing Kuan-Nung, received a $ 1. 3 million grant to
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: develop 6G wireless networks powered by antennas that can reposition
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: in real time for faster and more efficient operations. wireless services. Dan,
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: it is the third and most expensive Australian Research Council
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: grant given to projects involving this academic. Does it pass
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: the pub test?
• 13:36
  Speaker 5: No, it doesn't pass the pub test. You know, we
• 13:38
  Speaker 5: know that the universities and other educational institutions have been
• 13:43
  Speaker 5: heavily influenced by China and the Chinese Communist Party. In
• 13:48
  Speaker 5: the past, we've seen that with the Confucius Institutes. Now,
• 13:50
  Speaker 5: I know that a lot of those have been removed
• 13:52
  Speaker 5: and terminated. But, you know, we're talking about some very
• 13:55
  Speaker 5: important sectors of our economy that are being investigated. Anything
• 14:00
  Speaker 5: to do with ties to the Chinese Communist Party needs
• 14:03
  Speaker 5: to be taken very seriously. So, you know, I think
• 14:06
  Speaker 5: most Australians would have pretty significant reservations about this money.
• 14:10
  Speaker 5: Why is it being provided to this academic? And have
• 14:13
  Speaker 5: the appropriate protocols been followed?
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: Dan Weil, thank you for your time. Now, last week
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: we commemorated the one-year anniversary of Charlie Kirk's horrific murder.
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: We've seen the disgusting trend of leftists in America celebrating
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: the anniversary of the murder, which they labelled a Kirkiversary. Well,
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: it seems that sickness wasn't confined to the ugliest elements
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: of the American left. Have a look at this now-deleted
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: post from an Australian comic, Blake Pavey, And a warning,
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: this is about as funny as a malignant tumour.
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: Come with me to surprise my girlfriend for the one-year Kirkerversary.
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: Let's go.
• 14:54
  Speaker 10: We are Charlie Kirk!
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: Right, just got home, but before I surprise the old
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: ball and chain, let me guys show you everything I
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: got my partner.
• 15:04
  Speaker 11: For the Kirkiversary this year.
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: I also got a love heart tattoo right where Charlie
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: was shot. Obviously, had to get everything from Coles to
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: celebrate their long-standing relationship with Palantir, and we all know
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: Charlie Kirk loved the State of Israel. Obviously, goes without saying,
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: had to get her the Kirk's original creaming soda. I
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: really like the red of this one, it just reminds
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: me of the day, and yeah, we'll probably have a
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: few drinks tonight, so what a perfect mixer.
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: This next one, it's a little bit DIY.
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: If you can't be arsed going through the effort of
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: doing this, that's totally okay.
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: I just thought I would do it. I like decorating.
• 15:33
  Speaker 5: I love creating.
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: So I got my girlfriend some throat lozenges.
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: Joining me now is News 24 contributor, Calista Clements. Calista,
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: I could forgive just about anything as long as it's
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: funny or a little bit clever. That was about as
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: witty as possible. an ingrown toenail. It was just so pathetic. Why?
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: Why were they, who were they thinking was going to
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: be impressed by that? Oh, I'm not sure.
• 16:00
  Speaker 8: I mean, mind you though, I don't think any of
• 16:02
  Speaker 8: us can ever possibly predict what goes on in their
• 16:05
  Speaker 8: delusional minds.
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: 99.9% of the time.
• 16:07
  Speaker 8: But This individual, after seeing this video, there was a
• 16:12
  Speaker 8: post that he also made last November mocking Charlie in purgatory,
• 16:18
  Speaker 8: also making comment on his wife.
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: And this is bottom of the barrel. And we can
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: take a joke. We can laugh. There's dark humour.
• 16:24
  Speaker 8: People in comics test these boundaries all the time. But
• 16:28
  Speaker 8: when we see this rise of political violence, these activists,
• 16:32
  Speaker 8: these Charlie haters that truly do wish ill and do
• 16:36
  Speaker 8: wish violence on those on the right, it's really hard
• 16:39
  Speaker 8: to take these things lightheartedly.
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: Well, particularly one, when they're not funny. So if you're
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: not at least injecting some humour into proceedings, you can't
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: expect people to just say, oh, well, that's just a joke.
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: And two, the viciousness and ugliness of it. We're talking
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: about a man who was murdered, a man who was
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: a joyful warrior. There's people who are far harsher than
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: he ever was. And it just reveals how hateful the
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: modern left have become. It the normalisation of violence, how
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: comfortable they are with their political opponents being murdered, brutally murdered,
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: how quick they are to defend it, rationalise it, or
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: in this case, make fun of it. Yeah, absolutely. And
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: it's interesting as well.
• 17:25
  Speaker 8: There was a poll not that long ago where 24%
• 17:28
  Speaker 8: of people who identify as hard left in the United
• 17:30
  Speaker 8: States do justify political violence versus out of 7% on
• 17:34
  Speaker 8: the far right, per se. As well, there was another
• 17:37
  Speaker 8: article that came out recently that one in three university
• 17:41
  Speaker 8: students in the US do justify political violence as a
• 17:45
  Speaker 8: means to suppress college campus speakers. It is very real
• 17:50
  Speaker 8: and Charlie lost his life for his political beliefs and
• 17:54
  Speaker 8: it's active, it's everywhere and the murder of any person
• 17:59
  Speaker 8: should never, ever be celebrated.
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: And Charlie was all about debate. He was... always polite
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: to his political opponents, no matter how nutty their opinions
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: and no matter how aggressive they were. And he was
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: the one who said, when we stop talking to each
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: other is when violence happens. And yet he was the
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: victim of that violence. Now, let's go to one of
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: our greatest universities, one of the most prestigious universities in
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: Australia and hear from a student who calls Robert Menzies,
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: arguably our greatest prime minister, apparently is a Nazi sympathiser.
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: Did you know that?
• 18:33
  Speaker 4: Do you know Unimelb has a building dedicated to a
• 18:35
  Speaker 4: Nazi sympathiser? This is the Menzies Institute. Robert Menzies was
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: the founder of the Liberal Party, a bigot, a right-winger,
• 18:44
  Speaker 4: and in the 1930s he said, quote, I have a
• 18:46
  Speaker 4: great admiration for the Nazi organisation of Germany. Our university
• 18:50
  Speaker 4: has a whole space dedicated to glorifying this right-wing bigot.
• 18:54
  Speaker 4: We at Socialist Action Free Palestine want to make our
• 18:57
  Speaker 4: campus a fascist-free zone.
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: I mean, that's funny, unintentionally funny. That could be a
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: comedy skit. But it's deadly serious. I don't understand.
• 19:08
  Speaker 8: I'm wondering if they have figured out what the definition
• 19:11
  Speaker 8: of a fascist or a bigot is because, you know,
• 19:14
  Speaker 8: bigotry is all about not tolerating other people's beliefs and
• 19:17
  Speaker 8: these people embody that exact trait, not tolerating other people's beliefs.
• 19:22
  Speaker 8: But this is the state that we are in with
• 19:24
  Speaker 8: these young people that we're... Completely intolerant of their own delusions.
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: These are the socialists on campus. And if you've got
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: your kids at an Australian university, this is what they're
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: dealing with. They're there and they are supported by much
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: of the academics, by much of academia, I should say.
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: This is very much normalised. Now let's go to another
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: socialist on campus. This one is bragging about costing the
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: university billions.
• 19:59
  Speaker 9: This university has millions of dollars in weapons contracts. but
• 20:02
  Speaker 9: it could have had $ 2 billion more. I organised the
• 20:04
  Speaker 9: campaign to end Fisherman's Bend, which delayed the construction of
• 20:07
  Speaker 9: a weapons campus that would have funnelled students into internships
• 20:10
  Speaker 9: with Lockheed Martin and Boeing.
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: Goodness me, Calissa. God forbid students would have internships. that
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: could possibly lead to well-paid long-term employment. We can't go
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: having that, not in Victoria. No, definitely not.
• 20:22
  Speaker 8: Like, let's seize opportunity. Let's seize career pathways for our
• 20:27
  Speaker 8: younger generation and let's follow the Labor government and ensure
• 20:31
  Speaker 8: that everyone is absolutely looked after on our welfare system.
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: Let's just put these kids.
• 20:36
  Speaker 8: On Centrelink and not worry about it. Like, this is
• 20:38
  Speaker 8: the absolute brain rot that goes on in these movements,
• 20:42
  Speaker 8: in these universities. Let's not tell these kids to be ambitious.
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: Let's blame.
• 20:46
  Speaker 8: Everyone else.
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: Calista Clements, you've got a plan there and I think
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: it's been executed in Australian universities across the nation. Thank
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: you for your time.
• 20:55
  Speaker 7: Pleasure.
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: Still to come, lefties losing it past the latest from
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: the US, including Donald Trump's eventful trip to Ireland. John
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: Heinderaker is up next. MUSIC You're watching the Rita Panaghi
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: Show and it's time for Lefty's Losing It. And let's
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: all witness together the moment that CBS anchor Gayle King
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: and the rest of the media and activist class learned
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: the confronting news that the lone juror, the holdout who
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: refused to be bullied into a not guilty verdict in
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: the Lindsay Clancy case, was a black man, the only
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: person of colour on that jury.
• 21:43
  Speaker 12: One person of color and then everybody else was white.
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: A lot of the jurors had children. One person of
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: color was a person of color, a woman or a man?
• 21:56
  Speaker 6: A man.
• 21:56
  Speaker 7: A man.
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: Is a holdout juror a person, a black man?
• 22:02
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 22:03
  Speaker 13: A black man is a holdout juror?
• 22:05
  Speaker 7: Yes.
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: Well, I have to sit with that for just a second. Yep,
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: Gayle needs to sit with that for a second. The
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: man who has come to be a hero to many Americans,
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: even as elements of the left try to dox him
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: and destroy his life, it's a black man. It shouldn't matter,
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: but for some lefties like Gayle, that complicates things. It
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: was supposed to be a toxic white man. This next
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: lass doesn't know what to say.
• 22:33
  Speaker 10: The holdout juror in the Lindsay Clancy trial was a
• 22:35
  Speaker 10: black man, and I'm not going to share any opinions here.
• 22:39
  Speaker 10: because I'm not a person of color.
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: I am a non-practicing white. I'm surprised.
• 22:43
  Speaker 10: It changes the landscape of the conversation a little bit.
• 22:46
  Speaker 10: And I think a lot of us were assuming that
• 22:48
  Speaker 10: it was a white man.
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: She's a non-practicing white, bless. She's trans race. I guess
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: if you can identify as a different gender, if you
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: can identify as a plural, then why not a different race?
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: You go girl. Now let's go to a MSNOW meltdown
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: featuring Joe Scarborough yelling about Benjamin Netanyahu, yelling about Hamas
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: and asking his guests, do I look stupid to you?
• 23:16
  Speaker 13: That would mean that he said keep funding Hamas through Qatar.
• 23:20
  Speaker 13: after he'd gotten the warning from the UAE that, hey,
• 23:24
  Speaker 13: a major attack is coming.
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: I can't explain, Bibi, but I just don't want us
• 23:28
  Speaker 3: to forget, as we're close to three years to October 7th,
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: that Hamas.
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: To your point, slaughtered, raped, mutilated. 1,200 Jews.
• 23:37
  Speaker 13: Right, so back to my question, Donnie.
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: Back to my question, Donnie.
• 23:41
  Speaker 11: It's not like Netanyahu didn't know he was going to.
• 23:44
  Speaker 13: Do that because Hamas said, we're going to exterminate Jews.
• 23:48
  Speaker 13: And Netanyahu, the prime minister, I can only say that
• 23:52
  Speaker 13: let's not forget that Hamas is the evil.
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: Who has forgotten it?
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: That's it.
• 23:56
  Speaker 4: Listen, who do I look like?
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: Do I look stupid to you?
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: Do I look stupid?
• 24:01
  Speaker 11: Look at me in my eyes, Donnie.
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: I'm looking at you in your eyes.
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: Look at me in my eyes.
• 24:03
  Speaker 13: And do you think that I'm going to be distracted
• 24:05
  Speaker 13: by you saying what I've said a million times?
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: Wow. During that shouty little episode, Joe asked, do I
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: look stupid to you? Joe, I'm going to be honest
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: with you. It's going to be kind of hard to
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: come back from this. Remember you telling us how brilliant...
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: how sharp Joe Biden was just before his obvious cognitive
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: decline led to him ending his re-election campaign.
• 24:31
  Speaker 11: I've said it for years now.
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: He's cogent.
• 24:34
  Speaker 13: But I undersold him when I said he was cogent.
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: He's far beyond cogent.
• 24:40
  Speaker 13: In fact, I think he's better than he's ever been intellectually, analytically.
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: Because he's been around for 50 years now.
• 24:51
  Speaker 13: Start your tape right now because I'm about to tell.
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: You the truth. And F you if you can't handle
• 24:57
  Speaker 3: the truth.
• 24:59
  Speaker 13: This version of Biden, intellectually, analytically, is the best Biden ever.
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: Not a close second. And I've known him for years.
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: F you if you can't handle the truth. Yeah, you're
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: never living that one down, Jo. Now, every now and
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: then I give our big US audience a taste of
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: local lefties losing it right here in Australia. And this
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: next one is a doozy. She is a senator in
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: the Australian Parliament and I've featured her before, including her
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: meltdowns about Elon Musk, who she wants to put in prison. Seriously.
• 25:38
  Speaker 12: And quite frankly, the bloke should be jailed. And the
• 25:40
  Speaker 12: sooner that we can bring rules in or do something
• 25:43
  Speaker 12: about this sort of, um, this sort of game playing
• 25:46
  Speaker 12: with our social media, the better off we're going to be.
• 25:48
  Speaker 12: But quite frankly, the power that that man has because
• 25:51
  Speaker 12: of that platform that he's on, it's got to stop.
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: Oh, yes, that's Jackie Lambie. And she was deadly serious.
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: Senator Jackie Lambie, it wasn't some slip of the tongue.
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: She wants to imprison the world's richest man for the
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: crime of protecting free speech, for ensuring that footage, including
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: of an alleged Islamist terror attack in Sydney... were not
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: banned from social media.
• 26:16
  Speaker 12: When it comes to the tech billionaire, like I've already said,
• 26:19
  Speaker 12: I think he's a social media knob with no social conscience.
• 26:21
  Speaker 12: He has absolutely no social conscience. Someone like that should
• 26:24
  Speaker 12: be in jail and the key be thrown away. That
• 26:27
  Speaker 12: bloke should not have a right to be out there
• 26:30
  Speaker 12: on his own ideology platform and creating hatred.
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: Well, Senator Jackie Lambie was back on News 24 and
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: this meltdown went on for several minutes. And trust me,
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: it was all quality lefties losing it content. Here are
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: just a few highlights.
• 26:48
  Speaker 12: And you don't stand like a coward behind your goddamn cartoons,
• 26:52
  Speaker 12: which I can tell you that.
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: In itself, they are shocking. How they are allowed to.
• 26:57
  Speaker 12: Go over social media is beyond me because they incite hatred.
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: They are vile. They are disgusting. And by God, they've
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: got to be the toughest.
• 27:05
  Speaker 12: And the country asked them to do so much more
• 27:08
  Speaker 12: than anybody else can imagine.
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: So you bloody show your respect to Hastie. Because I
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: tell you what, he's bloody earned it. Leave him alone. Well,
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: now you've got Lambie. And I'm fuming. Absolutely fuming. That
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: woman is disgusting. Yep, that woman. That's a senator in
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: the Australian Parliament. What can I say? Now to President
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: Trump and his Irish tour. Naturally, a visit to Ireland
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: means every sad blowhard feels the need to emote on
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: the internet or out on the streets.
• 27:49
  Speaker 14: He's feeding a war machine that's killing thousands of people
• 27:53
  Speaker 14: quoting Iran.
• 27:54
  Speaker 4: And also in Palestine.
• 27:57
  Speaker 15: You are murdering and slaughtering and causing a genocide.
• 28:01
  Speaker 12: Take your goddamn rubble home and flatten your bloody White House.
• 28:05
  Speaker 15: From the river to the.
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: Sea, Palestine will be free. Oh yes, the misery guts
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: were out in force, kind of, there wasn't actually that
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: many of them there, but they were whipping themselves up
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: into a frenzy, making the same intellectually vacuous arguments lefties
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: make across the West.
• 28:23
  Speaker 14: It just It doesn't make any sense, really. This is
• 28:26
  Speaker 14: really annoying me at the moment.
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: He should not be welcome here in Ireland. We want
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: to say no to Trump and to protect Irish neutrality
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: and to keep the warplanes out of Shannon. We think
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: this is very important. It's embarrassing, honestly.
• 28:37
  Speaker 15: I understand that there has to be diplomatic links kept
• 28:42
  Speaker 15: and they want to keep the Americans on side and
• 28:44
  Speaker 15: everything else. But selling out our soul as a country is.
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: Sell out your country, lady. That happened a long time
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: ago and with the blessing of people like you. This
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: next woman is a special type of idiot. She thinks
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: people in Iran don't want US interference and they're quite happy.
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: living under a murderous Islamist regime. She also speaks for
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: the people in Cuba and Venezuela. Apparently, they just love communism.
• 29:09
  Speaker 15: The one thing about Irish people, we can manage Irish
• 29:11
  Speaker 15: affairs fine, you know, the same as people can in
• 29:14
  Speaker 15: the other countries in which she's interfering, the same as
• 29:16
  Speaker 15: they can in Palestine, in Iran, in Yemen, in Venezuela,
• 29:20
  Speaker 15: in Cuba.
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: As for President Trump, he was cracking jokes and loving
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: life in Ireland, despite knowing Rosie O'Donnell was lurking somewhere.
• 29:30
  Speaker 13: Let me tell you, You are some of the most
• 29:32
  Speaker 13: vicious bastards I've ever done.
• 29:34
  Speaker 10: Business.
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: But when you want to be.
• 29:37
  Speaker 13: Nice, there's nobody nicer, OK? And I just want to
• 29:40
  Speaker 13: thank you.
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: It's an honour to be here.
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: I'm going to actually go now to Doonbeg and I'll see,
• 29:45
  Speaker 3: you know, Shane is leading.
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: He's talking about golf there and on his golf course,
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: he made this announcement to huge cheers.
• 29:56
  Speaker 13: Everybody's been bugging me.
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: They're saying, would you do me a favour? It's so
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: unfair what's going on.
• 30:01
  Speaker 13: Could you possibly take the tariffs off of Irish whiskey?
• 30:07
  Speaker 12: And I said.
• 30:13
  Speaker 13: On behalf of the United States of America, I am
• 30:15
  Speaker 13: going to take.
• 30:16
  Speaker 12: The tariffs off of.
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: And there were more cheers at the pub later. Don't
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: tell Rosie O'Donnell about this.
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: USA!
• 30:37
  Speaker 12: USA!
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: USA!
• 30:38
  Speaker 3: USA! USA!
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: USA!
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: Let's bring in Center for the American Experiment president and
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: co-founder of the popular Powerline blog, John Heinderaker. John, tell
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: me about this trip to Ireland, combining diplomacy, trade, and
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: one of the president's great loves, golf.
• 31:06
  Speaker 11: Rita, this is classic Donald Trump. He's basically in Ireland
• 31:09
  Speaker 11: for a golf tournament. I'm not sure why he felt
• 31:12
  Speaker 11: the need to weigh in on Irish politics. But he
• 31:15
  Speaker 11: said that unification is inevitable and they may as well
• 31:18
  Speaker 11: get on with it. That set off an uproar. Pretty
• 31:21
  Speaker 11: much everyone in Northern Ireland and Great Britain criticized him
• 31:25
  Speaker 11: for it. But then, as you just showed in a
• 31:28
  Speaker 11: diplomatic masterstroke, he promised to remove the tariffs from Irish whiskey.
• 31:34
  Speaker 11: So probably no serious harm has been done to our
• 31:37
  Speaker 11: diplomatic relations.
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: John, tell me the attitude of the Trump administration to
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: these protests we see whenever Donald Trump visits any city
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: in the West. Are they concerned about it at all?
• 31:50
  Speaker 11: Well, Rita, I would remind our viewers that it's not
• 31:52
  Speaker 11: just Donald Trump. Every time an American president goes anywhere,
• 31:56
  Speaker 11: protesters will turn out.
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: It doesn't matter.
• 31:59
  Speaker 11: You know, there's always something going on overseas that they
• 32:02
  Speaker 11: can find to protest. I don't think Trump cares. I
• 32:05
  Speaker 11: don't think the administration cares. I think mostly these are
• 32:08
  Speaker 11: just kind of flaky people, like the no kings protesters
• 32:12
  Speaker 11: here in the United States. I think Trump just doesn't care.
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: Now, John, on September 11, we mark the 25th anniversary
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: of the worst terrorist event in the world. And Many
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: were upset by the antics of the New York City
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: Mayor Zoran Mamdani and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. As the names of
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: the victims were being read out, they were seen smiling
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: and laughing. Have a look at the footage. Carol Ann LaPlante.
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: Jeffrey G.
• 32:48
  Speaker 14: Latouche.
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: Catherine L.
• 32:51
  Speaker 14: Labore.
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: Amarneth Latchman. Ganesh Kay Ladkut. James Patrick Ladley. John, tell
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: me about the memorial and the ill feeling towards Mayor
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: Zoran Mamdani in particular from families of some of the victims.
• 33:12
  Speaker 11: Yeah, Mamdani is deeply unpopular with the families of 9-11
• 33:16
  Speaker 11: victims and with many others. I mean, he really is
• 33:18
  Speaker 11: a a sympathizer, I think, with radical Islam. And he's unpopular,
• 33:23
  Speaker 11: not just with the families, but with many, many people
• 33:26
  Speaker 11: in New York City. And I think the fact that
• 33:28
  Speaker 11: he and AOC were laughing and giggling as the names
• 33:32
  Speaker 11: were being read by the sons and daughters of the
• 33:35
  Speaker 11: people who were murdered, I think that's an indication of
• 33:38
  Speaker 11: how out of touch they are with most Americans and
• 33:42
  Speaker 11: how little they really care about the evil of terrorism.
• 33:46
  Speaker 11: And I just hope that a lot of people here
• 33:48
  Speaker 11: in America are seeing that video.
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: Now, there were many protests, including a man running onto
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: the field during the Mets-Yankees game, waving a Palestinian flag.
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: He ran onto the ground, he timed it, so he
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: ran on at 9.11pm on 9.11. And after he was
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: tackled to the ground and apprehended, this was the crowd response. John,
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: there were a lot of attempts to hijack the day,
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: particularly by pro-Palestinian activists.
• 34:29
  Speaker 11: There were, Rita, there were multiple demonstrations, pro-Palestine demonstrations around
• 34:35
  Speaker 11: the areas where the 9-11 commemorations were being held. And
• 34:38
  Speaker 11: it's interesting to ask, why did they do that? Why
• 34:41
  Speaker 11: did they associate their cause with September 11? I think
• 34:45
  Speaker 11: what they were implicitly saying is that there's a connection
• 34:49
  Speaker 11: between their cause, which is basically pro-Hamas, and that of
• 34:53
  Speaker 11: the 9-11 hijackers. I think they really are aligning themselves
• 34:58
  Speaker 11: with the perverted view of American foreign policy that was
• 35:02
  Speaker 11: expressed by Osama bin Laden and many other radical Muslims.
• 35:07
  Speaker 11: And I hope people take that lesson away from these demonstrations.
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: Now you've spoken about how you see these anti-Israel protests
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: as essentially being anti-American protests. Their grievance is as much
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: with America as it is with Israel. Tell me about that.
• 35:26
  Speaker 11: Well, Rita, in my opinion, if you scratch an anti-Semite,
• 35:31
  Speaker 11: you will always find an anti-American. And the reality is
• 35:35
  Speaker 11: there is a link between the United States and Israel.
• 35:38
  Speaker 11: There's a reason why Al-Qaeda and the Iranian mullahs talk
• 35:42
  Speaker 11: about the great Satan, America, and the little Satan, Israel.
• 35:46
  Speaker 11: They don't hate the United States because we support Israel.
• 35:50
  Speaker 11: They hate Israel because Israel is Western and that affinity
• 35:55
  Speaker 11: is real. And it's inherent. And that's why we're the
• 35:58
  Speaker 11: two Satans, the great Satan and the little Satan. And
• 36:01
  Speaker 11: we see this over and over again. The same people
• 36:04
  Speaker 11: who hate Israel, they also hate America.
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: Now, former President Bill Clinton has revealed overnight that the
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: CIA abandoned a plan to take out Osama bin Laden
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: before 9-11 and over fears that innocent civilians could die.
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: Bill Clinton was also talking about how he knew immediately
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: that Osama bin Laden was responsible for the terror attacks
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: while watching them unfold 25 years ago. How much of
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: a reckoning has there been in the CIA, in the
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: intelligence agencies, about how they handled the lead up to
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: 9-11 and the aftermath?
• 36:47
  Speaker 11: Well, probably not enough. I mean, it's really tragic that
• 36:50
  Speaker 11: more effective actions were not taken against al-Qaeda prior to 9-11.
• 36:54
  Speaker 11: I mean, everybody knew that they were plotting against us.
• 36:57
  Speaker 11: You know, Clinton says that the CIA didn't want to
• 37:00
  Speaker 11: go after bin Laden. I believe there was also an
• 37:02
  Speaker 11: occasion when lawyers objected to taking him out. And so
• 37:07
  Speaker 11: that's a pretty sad story. The good news is that
• 37:10
  Speaker 11: we have gotten a lot more realistic and a lot
• 37:12
  Speaker 11: more aggressive about dealing with terrorist threats. since 2001. In
• 37:18
  Speaker 11: the last 25 years, there has not been another 9-11.
• 37:21
  Speaker 11: That's not a coincidence.
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: Now we are edging closer to the midterms. What is
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: your assessment, John? Will it be a bloodbath like some
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: in the GOP fear, given the ongoing conflict with Iran
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: and the impact it's having on things like gas prices?
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: Or is Do the Republicans have some hope that they're
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: going to be able to save some of the furniture?
• 37:48
  Speaker 11: Well, I think the Democrats will take the House. They
• 37:51
  Speaker 11: only need to pick up a few seats. And historically,
• 37:54
  Speaker 11: it's almost inevitable that the party that's got the White
• 37:57
  Speaker 11: House is going to lose some House seats. So I
• 38:00
  Speaker 11: think that is highly likely. I'm hopeful that the Republicans
• 38:04
  Speaker 11: will hold on to the Senate. If they don't, Trump
• 38:07
  Speaker 11: is not going to be able to get any significant
• 38:10
  Speaker 11: appointments confirmed during the last two years of his term.
• 38:14
  Speaker 11: And whether the Republicans hold the Senate or not, I
• 38:17
  Speaker 11: think is going to come down to turnout. There are
• 38:20
  Speaker 11: quite a few Trump voters who, for whatever reason, if
• 38:24
  Speaker 11: Trump's not on the ballot, they don't vote. They don't
• 38:27
  Speaker 11: turn out. And we've seen this a couple of times.
• 38:30
  Speaker 11: And Trump is trying to communicate with those people and
• 38:35
  Speaker 11: explain the importance of voting in this election. And if
• 38:39
  Speaker 11: Trump can inspire most of his fans who are not
• 38:43
  Speaker 11: really that dedicated Republican voters, but if he can inspire
• 38:47
  Speaker 11: them to understand the importance of the election and to vote,
• 38:50
  Speaker 11: even though he isn't on the ballot, then I don't
• 38:53
  Speaker 11: think the midterms will be a bloodbath. And I think
• 38:56
  Speaker 11: there's a good probability that the Republicans will hold the Senate.
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: John, explain to my audience what the final years of
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: the Trump administration will look like if the Democrats take
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: the House and the Senate? Are they just going to
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: be focused on impeaching the president? What sort of legislation
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: is actually going to get through?
• 39:19
  Speaker 11: Well, no legislation is going to get through. Even if
• 39:21
  Speaker 11: they only take the House, no legislation is going to
• 39:24
  Speaker 11: get through. That's why they tried to pack everything into
• 39:27
  Speaker 11: the one big, beautiful bill. And so the difference really
• 39:33
  Speaker 11: is that if the Democrats take the Senate, that means
• 39:35
  Speaker 11: that Trump won't even be able to get appointments confirmed.
• 39:39
  Speaker 11: So for example, if there's a vacancy on the Supreme Court,
• 39:41
  Speaker 11: he's not going to be able to get a Supreme
• 39:43
  Speaker 11: Court nominee confirmed if the Democrats take the Senate. And
• 39:49
  Speaker 11: the other thing that we're going to see is if
• 39:51
  Speaker 11: the Democrats have a majority in the House, as they
• 39:53
  Speaker 11: probably will, the only thing they'll do for two years
• 39:57
  Speaker 11: is investigate the Trump administration. They will impeach Donald Trump.
• 40:01
  Speaker 11: They're talking about impeaching Pete Hegseth, Secretary of War. And
• 40:06
  Speaker 11: if they take the Senate, it'll be the same thing there.
• 40:09
  Speaker 11: There will be no business conducted. It'll be nothing but
• 40:12
  Speaker 11: investigations nonstop.
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: It will just be chaos and Crisis mode day to day.
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: John Hynderaker, thank you so much for your time. Still
• 40:23
  Speaker 2: to come, Saturday Night Live makes fun of Harry and
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: Meghan's return to the UK. Kinsey Schofield will have the
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: latest royal and entertainment news. Welcome back. Well, Harry and
• 40:42
  Speaker 2: Meghan are back in the country they fled and they
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: appear to be enjoying life in the UK countryside. The
• 40:49
  Speaker 2: Duchess of Sussex posted this video to her Instagram page.
• 41:06
  Speaker 2: And Saturday Night Live UK has roasted the pair's return.
• 41:10
  Speaker 2: Have a look at this. Harry, what are you two
• 41:16
  Speaker 2: doing here? This castle is for royals only. What do
• 41:19
  Speaker 2: you two want? We're moving back to the UK and
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: we need your help. Don't tell me you've spent all
• 41:25
  Speaker 2: your Netflix money already.
• 41:27
  Speaker 9: Daddy, it was $ 60 million.
• 41:29
  Speaker 3: How long was it meant to last?
• 41:32
  Speaker 2: I'm not asking for much, just a dutchie or two.
• 41:36
  Speaker 2: What a waste you've become.
• 41:37
  Speaker 12: You're lucky your father isn't around to see this.
• 41:39
  Speaker 3: What, what, what was that, what?
• 41:44
  Speaker 2: Oh, yes, they went there. Very good. Now, I would
• 41:48
  Speaker 2: never suggest that Harry bears a striking resemblance to James Hewitt,
• 41:53
  Speaker 2: who Diana had a bit of a fling with at
• 41:56
  Speaker 2: one stage. That would be mischievous. It would be like
• 41:59
  Speaker 2: suggesting Fidel Castro is related to Justin Trudeau just because
• 42:03
  Speaker 2: of the striking resemblance. That would be mischievous. I wouldn't
• 42:07
  Speaker 2: do that. Joining me now is host of the Kinsey
• 42:09
  Speaker 2: Schofield Unfiltered podcast, Kinsey. Harry and Megan do seem to
• 42:14
  Speaker 2: be enjoying life in the countryside.
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: What was that, a Visit Britain commercial? You know, we
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: keep asking ourselves who's funding them. Is it the tourist?
• 42:25
  Speaker 2: Is it the tourism board?
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: Is that who's paying for this? What I find interesting
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: is how aggressively they're selling their domestic bliss. Meghan told
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: Jamie Kern Lima she was finished playing the prove-it game.
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: Nobody works harder to prove it than Meghan Markle.
• 42:39
  Speaker 2: Now, Kinsey, a major fundraising event for the Diana Award
• 42:43
  Speaker 2: has been abruptly cancelled. Royal reporter Charlotte Griffiths claims Prince
• 42:48
  Speaker 2: Harry's paranoia over security and secrecy surrounding his potential attendants
• 42:54
  Speaker 2: was behind the decision. You have her on your show tomorrow.
• 42:57
  Speaker 2: It's going to be a fascinating chat. Everyone should check
• 43:00
  Speaker 2: out the Kinsey Schofield Unfiltered podcast. I understand you've heard
• 43:05
  Speaker 2: Prince William may have had some involvement in that cancellation.
• 43:09
  Speaker 2: That's right.
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: One of the stories circulating is that Meghan wanted to
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: use this event, this Diana event, as her big British homecoming,
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: once again using Diana's legacy to elevate herself. And There
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: were also some shallow requests being thrown around surrounding Meghan's attendance.
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: The rumour is that Prince William stepped in and put
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: a kibosh on the whole triumphant return. If true, I
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: completely understand Prince William's frustration. The Diana Award should be
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: about Diana and the young people it supports.
• 43:39
  Speaker 2: Now, Kinsey, Spiked editors Fraser Myers and Tom Slater made
• 43:45
  Speaker 2: some interesting observations about Prince Harry and his warped logic.
• 43:50
  Speaker 3: Have a listen.
• 43:51
  Speaker 14: I think my favourite is Prince Harry complaining about the
• 43:53
  Speaker 14: press and, you know, the press are making him out
• 43:57
  Speaker 14: to be stupid and he was saying, you know, you
• 43:59
  Speaker 14: make me look stupid and that means someone's going to
• 44:02
  Speaker 14: come and stab me. He genuinely believed that he was
• 44:04
  Speaker 14: going to be violently attacked because people think he's a
• 44:07
  Speaker 14: bit dim. Yeah, and there was even, like, a quote
• 44:09
  Speaker 14: where he was, like, saying someone's going to walk up
• 44:10
  Speaker 14: to him and be like, Oi, I know you, you're
• 44:12
  Speaker 14: an idiot, now I'm going to stab you. It's like,
• 44:14
  Speaker 14: this is how he thinks people work.
• 44:16
  Speaker 2: Kinsey, I think they're right.
• 44:18
  Speaker 4: I think.
• 44:19
  Speaker 2: Prince Harry has every right to fear scrutiny from the
• 44:24
  Speaker 2: media because the fact is he's just not that bright
• 44:27
  Speaker 2: and he does have a warped sense of reality.
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: I mean, scrutiny has not historically been Harry's friend. His
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: problem is that he seems to believe negative coverage creates
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: the threat. I mean, sometimes negative coverage is simply the
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: consequence of saying and doing ridiculous things in public.
• 44:45
  Speaker 2: But I'll put it this way.
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: I don't think Harry's greatest threat has ever been overthinking things.
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: I think we're safe in that arena.
• 44:55
  Speaker 2: Now, Elon Musk has denied allegations made by Ashley Sinclair
• 45:00
  Speaker 2: that The billionaire made her sign a $ 40 million NDA.
• 45:05
  Speaker 2: He said in a tweet she was never offered that
• 45:07
  Speaker 2: and has a history of making false claims. Ashley last
• 45:11
  Speaker 2: year posted a photo of herself wearing a shirt that says,
• 45:15
  Speaker 2: eat the rich. Kids, it's a bit rich given she's
• 45:21
  Speaker 2: pretty much living off the world's richest man. She is
• 45:25
  Speaker 2: one of many baby mamas that he has acquired over
• 45:29
  Speaker 2: the years.
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: Yes, we've we've officially lost count. But there is something
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: spectacular about wearing an eat the rich T-shirt and then
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: having a child with the richest man in the world. Apparently,
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: she just meant breed breed with the rich. But I mean,
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: Elon does deny this. I tend to believe him. I'd
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: still argue that this entire relationship has become so messy.
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: It makes the Real Housewives look like masterpiece theater. And
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: eat the rich does hit differently when the rich is
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: financing your entire lifestyle. Suddenly capitalism has its perks, Ashley.
• 46:05
  Speaker 2: Absolutely. Let's talk about another socialist, Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett. She
• 46:10
  Speaker 2: took to the stage at AT & T Stadium in Arlington,
• 46:13
  Speaker 2: Texas during Chris Brown and Usher's R & B tour.
• 46:18
  Speaker 2: She honored them with a congressional record recognition from the
• 46:22
  Speaker 2: House of Reps, recognising their influence and contributions to music. Kinsey,
• 46:29
  Speaker 2: that's undoubted, I would say, but Chris Brown has got
• 46:33
  Speaker 2: an ugly history. He's faced numerous lawsuits and accusations of
• 46:37
  Speaker 2: assault over the years, including that infamous incident with Rihanna.
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: And we've discussed our Usher herpes situation in the past.
• 46:49
  Speaker 2: Oh, yes, yes.
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: Sued multiple times. I mean, like Jasmine Crockett is a
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: sitting member of Congress. If you're going to use the
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: congressional record to honor somebody, presumably character and judgment should
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: enter the conversation somewhere. Politicians constantly tell us they want
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: to take violence against women seriously. Honoring Chris Brown makes
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: that message rather difficult to take seriously.
• 47:14
  Speaker 2: It is an odd one, isn't it? Because even when
• 47:17
  Speaker 2: it happened, when the world was shocked to see Rihanna's
• 47:20
  Speaker 2: face black and blue with all that bruising, there were
• 47:26
  Speaker 2: people eager to defend Chris Brown. Even, I remember, Whoopi
• 47:31
  Speaker 2: Goldberg on The View was making excuses or trying to
• 47:36
  Speaker 2: minimise the incident. There is something very wrong with how
• 47:40
  Speaker 2: that entire incident was almost swept under the carpet.
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: Well, and this is not just some obscure controversy from
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: the internet. This was a felony assault on his girlfriend.
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: One of the most notorious incidents in modern celebrity culture.
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: We know that Jasmine knows that. I mean, You watch
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: these incidents and you realize that this is just, in
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: my opinion, a moment for Jasmine who wants to stand
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: on stage with some young men that she listened to
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: growing up.
• 48:11
  Speaker 4: This is about her.
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: This is not about them. And we should expect more
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: from our politicians.
• 48:17
  Speaker 2: Absolutely. Now, before you go, let's check in with Alec
• 48:21
  Speaker 2: Baldwin and his wife, Hilaria. Every video of these two
• 48:34
  Speaker 2: is cringe. I don't know why he participates, Kinsey. Why
• 48:38
  Speaker 2: is he doing this?
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: I'm so sorry that I sent this to you, but
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: I thought this was one of those daddy-daughter TikTok challenges. Absolutely.
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: That is a husband and a wife. I don't understand
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: half of what happens in this marriage, but apparently neither
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: does Alec Baldwin.
• 48:54
  Speaker 2: No, he just goes along with it. And sometimes he
• 48:58
  Speaker 2: looks utterly miserable. Sometimes he seems to be putting on
• 49:02
  Speaker 2: an act. I'm sure he's just following instructions. He just
• 49:04
  Speaker 2: does as he is told. I think to try to
• 49:08
  Speaker 2: keep the peace, Kinsey Schofield, it's always a pleasure. Thank
• 49:11
  Speaker 2: you for your time. And that's it from me. Don't
• 49:14
  Speaker 2: go anywhere. Late Edition is coming up next.
