Speaker 1: On Skorne Lives Austrodia. This is the Wader Panale Show.
0:08
Speaker 2: Good evening and welcome to the Rita Panehe Show.
0:11
Speaker 3: I'm Danikiti Giorgio. Coming up tonight.
0:13
Speaker 2: Joe Biden gives his final address to the nation, but
0:16
Speaker 2: focuses on climate change.
0:18
Speaker 3: Coochher Garda will join us.
0:20
Speaker 2: Darren Grimes on why the UK government wants to shut
0:23
Speaker 2: down free speech at local pubs. A French woman is
0:26
Speaker 2: scammed out of almost a million dollars after thinking she
0:30
Speaker 2: was dating Brad Pitt.
0:31
Speaker 3: Kinsey Schofield will tell us.
0:33
Speaker 2: What happened and of course left he's losing earing, including
0:37
Speaker 2: the latest critical update from the LA Fire Department.
0:41
Speaker 4: My name is Captain Jennifer Wilcox. My pronouns are she Her.
0:45
Speaker 4: I am a Caucasian female.
0:47
Speaker 2: Joining me now is Sky News contributor Kosher Garda Kosher,
0:50
Speaker 2: Thank you for joining me. I want to start tonight
0:53
Speaker 2: with Joe Biden's farewell address to the nation. To me,
0:56
Speaker 2: it was more like a drivel to the nation. Thank goodness,
0:58
Speaker 2: it's about to come to an end. But firstly, he
1:01
Speaker 2: warns that an oliarchy is taking shape in America.
1:04
Speaker 3: Have a listen.
1:04
Speaker 5: Today, An oligarchy is taking shape in America of extreme wealth,
1:09
Speaker 5: power and influence. That literally threads our entire democracy are
1:14
Speaker 5: basic rates and freedoms and a fair shot for everyone
1:18
Speaker 5: to get ahead. We see the consequences all across America,
1:24
Speaker 5: and we've seen it before.
1:25
Speaker 3: But this was the most baffling to me.
1:26
Speaker 2: I mean, this was meant to be his final address
1:29
Speaker 2: to the nation, and what does he choose to go
1:32
Speaker 2: on a tangent about climate change being the cause of
1:35
Speaker 2: the California wildfires.
1:37
Speaker 5: So much is a stake right now. The existential threat
1:42
Speaker 5: of climate change has never been clear. Just look across
1:46
Speaker 5: the country from California to North Carolina. That's why I
1:51
Speaker 5: sign the most significant climate and clean energy law ever
1:55
Speaker 5: ever in the history of the world, and the rest
1:57
Speaker 5: of the world is trying to model it. Now.
2:00
Speaker 3: What was he thinking?
2:01
Speaker 2: Is that the best he can come up with, given
2:03
Speaker 2: that this was a final farewell speech to the nation.
2:09
Speaker 6: You know, in some ways, Danika was fitting because it
2:12
Speaker 6: really punctuates just what his entire presidency has come to
2:17
Speaker 6: be known as and what I think the history books
2:19
Speaker 6: are going to cast it as in terms of just
2:21
Speaker 6: the weakness, the cognitive decline, poor execution of things like
2:26
Speaker 6: the Afghanistan withdrawal in his final weeks in office, of
2:29
Speaker 6: raging inferno in Los Angeles. Yes, he's not directly responsible
2:32
Speaker 6: for a governance in California, but it still is his
2:34
Speaker 6: party that's in charge there. And then this thing just
2:37
Speaker 6: sort of brings that to light again that this is
2:40
Speaker 6: who he was and is and will be remembered. As
2:42
Speaker 6: You make a good point too, that usually final addresses
2:45
Speaker 6: are meant to be big picture for the history book,
2:48
Speaker 6: something that when Americans look back on it in twenty
2:51
Speaker 6: fifty one hundred years, it makes sense about this point
2:53
Speaker 6: in time and history that we're in. You usually don't
2:55
Speaker 6: go for tactical comments like that, but you know, I
2:58
Speaker 6: guess he did. And for many people on the left,
3:00
Speaker 6: climate change is this big picture idea and they just
3:03
Speaker 6: can't seem to let go of it. And that's where
3:05
Speaker 6: he decided to reap that in.
3:06
Speaker 2: Looks if it's just very bizarre, as he says, it's
3:08
Speaker 2: meant to be a big picture, that's not big picture.
3:11
Speaker 2: He then also spoke about the abuse of power, including
3:14
Speaker 2: through the courts in America.
3:16
Speaker 5: Have a listened whether we show the courage or stand
3:18
Speaker 5: up to the abuse of power, or we yield to it.
3:21
Speaker 5: I know, the believing in the idea of America means
3:25
Speaker 5: respecting the institutions govern a free society, the Presidency, the Congress,
3:33
Speaker 5: the courts.
3:34
Speaker 3: Kosher how very odd considering the Department of Justice did
3:37
Speaker 3: just that.
3:40
Speaker 6: Yes, I think that is classic projection. And you know,
3:43
Speaker 6: the reality is, as we know, Trump won this election
3:46
Speaker 6: in a landslide, and a big issue in it was
3:49
Speaker 6: that that he was seen as you know, some could
3:51
Speaker 6: call him a martyr, some could call him a victim
3:53
Speaker 6: of judicial prosecution and persecution. Really everybody knows that the
3:57
Speaker 6: Biden Justice Department went after Trump, went after j Sixers,
4:01
Speaker 6: went after all sorts of other ordinary Americans, while being
4:04
Speaker 6: asleep at the wheel for other very legitimate cases where
4:06
Speaker 6: prosecutoral actions should have been brought and wasn't brought. So
4:09
Speaker 6: I think it's this classic projection. And there are still
4:12
Speaker 6: the die hard people and the left who don't see
4:14
Speaker 6: it that way, and they see Trump and his supporters
4:16
Speaker 6: as very, very guilty. Maybe he's just speaking to them,
4:18
Speaker 6: but by and large, based on the results of the
4:20
Speaker 6: last election, that whole premise has been resoundingly rejected and
4:23
Speaker 6: it's a little bit rich coming from him to say that,
4:26
Speaker 6: but I think their talking line and they're going to
4:29
Speaker 6: keep repeating it till the bitter end.
4:31
Speaker 3: Yeah, that very very clear.
4:33
Speaker 2: Now, look, the incoming Secretary of State for Donald Trump's
4:36
Speaker 2: second term, Marco Rubio, has given quite a big boost
4:39
Speaker 2: to the Orcus Agreement ahead of the inauguration.
4:42
Speaker 7: This is what he said, I'd like to hear your
4:44
Speaker 7: thoughts on UCUS, the importance thereof and getting this thing moving.
4:50
Speaker 8: It's something that I think you're going to find very
4:52
Speaker 8: strong support for in this administration. We can leverage the
4:55
Speaker 8: power of these partnerships with allies two three countries in
4:58
Speaker 8: some cases and others to reach outcomes and objectives such
5:04
Speaker 8: as creating a geopolitical and strategic balance in the end
5:07
Speaker 8: of Pacific region and beyond Kosher.
5:09
Speaker 2: How important is this endorsement of ORCUS and what will
5:13
Speaker 2: that mean under a second Trump administration?
5:15
Speaker 3: Do you think?
5:17
Speaker 6: Yes? I think you know, those were pretty clearly spoken
5:20
Speaker 6: words by the incoming Secretary of State there, and if
5:23
Speaker 6: you just step back, you know Trump's worldview, there's two
5:25
Speaker 6: or three guiding principles for it that are pretty clear
5:28
Speaker 6: by now in terms of how he views foreign policy.
5:30
Speaker 6: One is America first, So insofar as any deal puts
5:33
Speaker 6: American citizens in American national interests first, he will be
5:37
Speaker 6: in favor of it.
5:38
Speaker 3: This seems to fit that.
5:39
Speaker 6: Mold two is one of his signature issues as China,
5:43
Speaker 6: and he's very hawkish and bullish in terms of how
5:45
Speaker 6: he thinks of China and wants to handle China economically, militarily,
5:48
Speaker 6: and otherwise, and this obviously seems to fit into that
5:51
Speaker 6: as well. And through simplicity, Team Trump has never been
5:54
Speaker 6: a big fan of these big, convoluted multilateral deals in
5:58
Speaker 6: general in terms of foreign policy and even domestically big bills,
6:01
Speaker 6: and this one being, as Mark Rubio there said, between
6:04
Speaker 6: three countries sort of easier to get your head around it.
6:06
Speaker 6: It's a little bit more straightforward. It is strategically important
6:09
Speaker 6: for China, and as of now, just given the location
6:13
Speaker 6: of Australia and that and as well as the rule
6:15
Speaker 6: of the UK and this one hundred year plus alliance
6:18
Speaker 6: between these three countries, it does put American interest first,
6:21
Speaker 6: and as long as it continues to do that, it
6:23
Speaker 6: is something that I expect they will continue to support.
6:26
Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree, I mean, it certainly seems to be
6:27
Speaker 2: going in that direction. But that's a big that's a big,
6:30
Speaker 2: strong indication that the Trump administration is happy with this agreement. Now,
6:34
Speaker 2: the Prime Minister Anthony Alberzi, he's indicated that he may
6:37
Speaker 2: not meet President elect Donald Trump until the second half
6:41
Speaker 2: of this year.
6:42
Speaker 3: I have a listen.
6:43
Speaker 9: The last time the coalition in government during Donald Trump's
6:48
Speaker 9: residency for four years, President Trump wasn't able to visit
6:53
Speaker 9: Australia during that period. In the discussion that I had
6:56
Speaker 9: with him, I mde it clear that he would all
7:00
Speaker 9: be welcome here Kosher.
7:02
Speaker 2: You know, we know Albo once said that he was
7:05
Speaker 2: scared of Trump, so he's probably running a mile in
7:08
Speaker 2: the other direction.
7:09
Speaker 3: He's of course.
7:09
Speaker 2: Sending Penny Wong to the inauguration. He should have been
7:13
Speaker 2: there himself. But why do you think he's seems to
7:16
Speaker 2: be desperately putting off meeting with Donald Trump.
7:21
Speaker 6: Funnier words have not have rarely been spoken. You know,
7:24
Speaker 6: if he said that that he's afraid of Trump, that's
7:26
Speaker 6: probably not what you want to be projecting as a
7:28
Speaker 6: leader of any country.
7:29
Speaker 9: Who knows.
7:29
Speaker 6: I mean, he obviously is a little bit in battled
7:31
Speaker 6: right now. He's got a domestic election potentially coming up,
7:34
Speaker 6: and the heat is certainly picking up between the opposition
7:37
Speaker 6: and him over here, so he's trying to balance and
7:40
Speaker 6: juggle dealing with that with obviously new leadership change with
7:44
Speaker 6: the US. I think a savvy political move would be
7:47
Speaker 6: to figure out how to weave the two together in
7:49
Speaker 6: a way that helps him symbolically, optically, and even in
7:53
Speaker 6: terms of policy, maybe a couple of policy wins that
7:55
Speaker 6: he could get. But I don't know. Maybe he's his
7:58
Speaker 6: calculus is that that's too difficult or maybe untenable, and
8:01
Speaker 6: he's sort of seeing what he needs to say saying
8:03
Speaker 6: that the US president would be welcome herea well, of
8:05
Speaker 6: course he would be, but not going beyond that and
8:08
Speaker 6: kind of outsourcing it to Penny Wong while he focuses
8:10
Speaker 6: on his reelection situation back home.
8:13
Speaker 2: I mean, sure, there's a federal election coming up, but
8:15
Speaker 2: you know, you've got to meet with the leader of
8:17
Speaker 2: the free world. He should have he should have been
8:18
Speaker 2: going to this inauguration. I think it's a disgrace that
8:21
Speaker 2: he's not there. I'm not sure what Penny Wong is
8:23
Speaker 2: going to achieve over in the United States, but look now,
8:26
Speaker 2: all of our viewers will remember this viral moment between
8:30
Speaker 2: Jill Biden and Donald Trump looking very chummy, i'd say,
8:34
Speaker 2: very cozy at the reopening of the Notre Dame Cathedral
8:37
Speaker 2: in Paris last year. But now Jill Biden has revealed
8:42
Speaker 2: what the pair were actually chatting about in that moment.
8:45
Speaker 3: To quote her, to quote Donald Trump.
8:48
Speaker 2: I had a good meeting with your husband in the
8:51
Speaker 2: Oval office. That's what Trump said to Jill on the night. Yes,
8:55
Speaker 2: Jill replied to Trump. Because you're both talkers. I thought
8:59
Speaker 2: it was quite funny. Clearly they aren't enemies after all.
9:05
Speaker 6: So much in this so you know, these moments, whether
9:07
Speaker 6: it's this swan or Jimmy Carter's funeral service the other day,
9:12
Speaker 6: they the reading into people who are sworn enemies in
9:16
Speaker 6: public life and then engage in these pleasantries and niceties
9:19
Speaker 6: and are so nice with.
9:20
Speaker 3: The small talk.
9:20
Speaker 6: Has been just a fun, sort of full time sport
9:22
Speaker 6: for a lot of people. This was a moment that
9:25
Speaker 6: went viral. President Trump even leveraged it when he launched
9:28
Speaker 6: his two hundred dollars fragrance on the back of that,
9:30
Speaker 6: which was funny and I think it just shows that
9:33
Speaker 6: all those accusations of you know, he's a threat to democracy,
9:36
Speaker 6: he's an orange hitler. You know the country is going
9:38
Speaker 6: to die if he comes in. Obviously were not true.
9:41
Speaker 6: They never believed it, and I just feel bad for
9:44
Speaker 6: any of their supporters, Biden supporters or Obama supporters who
9:47
Speaker 6: maybe on some level actually believed it that the whole
9:49
Speaker 6: country is going to fall into the hands of an
9:52
Speaker 6: orange hitler. What are they thinking probably when they see
9:55
Speaker 6: these niceties. Now that's the only one I worry about them,
9:57
Speaker 6: But for everybody else, it just proves what we all know,
10:00
Speaker 6: which is that politics are so much about theatrics, and
10:02
Speaker 6: underneath the theatrics, it doesn't the things they see in
10:05
Speaker 6: public often don't mean much.
10:07
Speaker 2: Unfortunately, spot on, And you're right though, I mean, he
10:10
Speaker 2: was never a threat to democracy after all, was he?
10:13
Speaker 2: Despite the Biden's insistence, despite the Obamas of the world,
10:17
Speaker 2: They went on and on, and really they're all chummy
10:20
Speaker 2: underneath the thinking. You're right there now, just domestically for
10:23
Speaker 2: a moment till MPs are reluctant to single out Anthony
10:28
Speaker 2: Alberizi for escalating his personal attacks against Peter Dutton for
10:32
Speaker 2: being nasty, which I've got to say is quite fascinating
10:34
Speaker 2: because these independents campaigned on a platform to restore integrity
10:39
Speaker 2: and respect to politics, but they're now calling for an
10:42
Speaker 2: end to mud slinging and personal insults in public debate. Well, kosher,
10:46
Speaker 2: there's only been some mud slinging, and so far it's
10:49
Speaker 2: come from labor. They have gone after Peter Dutton for
10:53
Speaker 2: for the last month in particular, they're obsessed with Peter Dutton.
10:57
Speaker 2: I just wonder why won't these tills come out and say,
11:00
Speaker 2: Anthony Albinesy put it to rest. Could they perhaps need
11:03
Speaker 2: Anthony Abbinesi in the event of a minority?
11:05
Speaker 3: What do you think?
11:08
Speaker 6: I'm sure political expediency and calculations such as the one
11:12
Speaker 6: you just laid out are factoring in for sure. I
11:14
Speaker 6: also think that, you know, for the Teals, if you're
11:17
Speaker 6: in such a minority where you're sort of a symbolic
11:20
Speaker 6: vote or some call them a protest vote, or maybe
11:23
Speaker 6: tactically they can advance a policy agenda on the margins
11:25
Speaker 6: here and there, but they're not anybody that really have
11:29
Speaker 6: true weight in Parliament and in the electoral system. It's
11:32
Speaker 6: kind of easy for them to stay above the fray. Yes,
11:34
Speaker 6: it's a laudable goal. We all would love it if
11:36
Speaker 6: we lived in a world with no personal insults, but
11:38
Speaker 6: we live in the real world where politics is a
11:40
Speaker 6: rough and tumble sport. It's only getting more so by
11:43
Speaker 6: the day all around the world, and if somebody punches you,
11:45
Speaker 6: you should be willing and able to punch back twice
11:48
Speaker 6: as hard. So I think some of it it's sort
11:50
Speaker 6: of they're sitting in a safe on a safe perch
11:52
Speaker 6: over there politically and symbolically, so it's easy for them
11:55
Speaker 6: to say that that, hey, you know, be nice, but
11:57
Speaker 6: it just doesn't work that way when you're actually fighting
12:00
Speaker 6: for real votes and a real chance at gaining the majority.
12:03
Speaker 2: Fair point, but I think it's going to be a
12:05
Speaker 2: dirty campaign between now and the federal election, if this
12:08
Speaker 2: is anything to go by. COACHHAGARDA nice to catch up.
12:11
Speaker 2: Thanks very much for joining me on the show this evening.
12:14
Speaker 2: Joining me now is gb New's host Darren Grimes. Darren,
12:18
Speaker 2: great to be with you. Thank you so much for
12:19
Speaker 2: joining me on the show this evening. I want to
12:21
Speaker 2: start with the grooming gang scandal, where of course thousands
12:24
Speaker 2: of girls were raped by Pakistani men for decades in
12:28
Speaker 2: the UK, but it was covered up by authorities out
12:31
Speaker 2: of fear of being called racist, and clearly multiculturalism and
12:35
Speaker 2: political correctness were apparently more important than the safety of
12:39
Speaker 2: girls and women. Darren, this is such a big scandal,
12:42
Speaker 2: a huge cover up.
12:43
Speaker 3: Yet UK Labor is.
12:44
Speaker 2: Refusing an inquiry, which just seems to be appalling because
12:49
Speaker 2: it appears as though that there is a lack of
12:51
Speaker 2: willingness to get to the bottom of how something like
12:53
Speaker 2: this could have occurred.
12:55
Speaker 3: What does it say about the powers that be over there?
13:00
Speaker 1: So you're absolutely spot on. Great to be with you,
13:02
Speaker 1: by the way, but look, this is the biggest cover up,
13:06
Speaker 1: the biggest political scandal certainly of my lifetime, but I
13:09
Speaker 1: would argue of the last century as well. There's a
13:12
Speaker 1: poll out this week by gb News showing that actually
13:17
Speaker 1: most Britons agree that there's been a cover up, an
13:21
Speaker 1: egregious cover up of the highest order, and that actually,
13:25
Speaker 1: more importantly, it's still going on today.
13:28
Speaker 5: I e.
13:28
Speaker 1: That backs up the need for a national inquiry right now.
13:34
Speaker 1: I think ultimately the lack of political will behind an
13:38
Speaker 1: inquiry by our labor government is pretty simple to explain.
13:42
Speaker 1: They can't bring themselves to actually admit that they've made
13:47
Speaker 1: a disastrously wrong call for half a century, and they
13:52
Speaker 1: won't admit. They can't bring themselves to admit that their
13:55
Speaker 1: multi cultural dream is more like a nightmare. Right, It
13:59
Speaker 1: ported attitude from places like Pakistan that hate women's rights,
14:03
Speaker 1: they hate gay rights, they hate trans rights, everything that
14:07
Speaker 1: they on the left claim to be champions of. So
14:11
Speaker 1: they it's an admission that to admit they were wrong
14:15
Speaker 1: would mean confessing that they are complicit in one of
14:19
Speaker 1: the most horrifying scandals that the country has ever known
14:22
Speaker 1: and still knows today. That's what explains it all. It's
14:26
Speaker 1: a cowardice. It's a political cowardice, and we ain't going
14:30
Speaker 1: to see any action on the part of the Labor
14:32
Speaker 1: Party because it was them half a century ago that
14:37
Speaker 1: actually put these policies in place, that brought these people here.
14:40
Speaker 1: That's the answer.
14:42
Speaker 2: Well, it's just so highly concerning, and you mentioned it's
14:45
Speaker 2: still going on today. So then it begs the question, Darren,
14:49
Speaker 2: what lessons must be learned from this?
14:53
Speaker 1: Well, the lessons that must be learned from this is
14:55
Speaker 1: that political correctness is actually incredibly dangerous, that actually an
15:00
Speaker 1: ability to call a spade a spade leads to the
15:03
Speaker 1: systemic rape of Britain's girls. These children have been left sidelined, ignored, vilified,
15:11
Speaker 1: or because political correctness decided that the multicultural madness was
15:17
Speaker 1: more important to them than the safeguardian of children. So
15:21
Speaker 1: that's the lesson to learn from this. Have we learned
15:23
Speaker 1: that lesson? Have we held? We still allow mass migration
15:27
Speaker 1: to this country from parts of the world that simply
15:30
Speaker 1: do not share our views and values, and that is
15:33
Speaker 1: what needs to end. And then we've got to address
15:36
Speaker 1: what is here now living among us, putting these girls
15:41
Speaker 1: in harm's way even today.
15:43
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're absolutely spot on, But as I said, and
15:46
Speaker 2: this is just such a huge scandal and it's just
15:49
Speaker 2: appalling to hear that nothing is being done.
15:52
Speaker 3: To learn these lessons. It's just shocking. Now, look, let's
15:54
Speaker 3: move on, Darren.
15:55
Speaker 2: Because UK pubs could bear customers from talking about topic
16:00
Speaker 2: such as transgender rights if landlords think that they are
16:03
Speaker 2: harassing staff. This is part of Labour's proposed workers' rights Charter.
16:07
Speaker 2: A pub conversation could count as harassment if it is
16:11
Speaker 2: unwarranted conduct that has the purpose or effect of violating
16:14
Speaker 2: a recipient's dignity or creating and intimidating, hostile, degrading, humiliating,
16:19
Speaker 2: or offensive environment.
16:21
Speaker 3: Darren, here we go.
16:22
Speaker 2: Now pubs are being targeted by woke policies.
16:26
Speaker 1: Absolutely. I mean, I'm a man that quite likes a
16:29
Speaker 1: drink Danika. I'll tell you that for free. And I'm
16:32
Speaker 1: a bit worried that I'm not going to get served
16:34
Speaker 1: a little paint here and there in the pubs up
16:37
Speaker 1: and down this country. Look, this is all about, well,
16:41
Speaker 1: it's a gift wrapped nightmare for businesses. For one, right,
16:44
Speaker 1: it's going to cost them a small fortune to actually
16:47
Speaker 1: try and police this stuff. But now pubs are the
16:50
Speaker 1: beaten heart of British free speech. Right, they are zones
16:54
Speaker 1: in which open and frank de beat can be had,
16:58
Speaker 1: and they're turning into speech controlled zones like some kind
17:02
Speaker 1: of starz Y esque state. You know, landlords having to
17:06
Speaker 1: police offensive conversations as well to avoid falling foul of
17:10
Speaker 1: this your law. And what does offensive actually even mean?
17:14
Speaker 1: Who is the arbiter of what isn't isn't offensive? Because
17:18
Speaker 1: I'm often told that I'm offensive, but then some people
17:22
Speaker 1: say I speak the truth. So you know, a customer
17:24
Speaker 1: coming in saying men don't have wombs suddenly they're out.
17:29
Speaker 1: Is that the way it goes? Then denied their clients,
17:32
Speaker 1: they're denied their sustenance. This isn't about protecting workers. I'll
17:36
Speaker 1: tell you what this is. This is about clamping down
17:39
Speaker 1: on debate. Labor are a party that have banged up
17:42
Speaker 1: a lot of people for posts that they've made online
17:45
Speaker 1: just last summer, and this is a continuation of that.
17:49
Speaker 1: You can't talk freely in a pub, so where can
17:52
Speaker 1: you talk freely? I see this as indicative actually also
17:56
Speaker 1: of where the trade union movement is. Labor it's supposed
17:59
Speaker 1: to be a part steeped in the trade union, still
18:01
Speaker 1: massively funded by them. They used to stand for the
18:04
Speaker 1: working man and woman who dare I say, quite enjoys
18:07
Speaker 1: a paint, But today they stand as guardians of whackery
18:11
Speaker 1: and walkery. It's an utterly pathetic and supremely depressing state
18:16
Speaker 1: of affairs. And the sooner that this bunch of clowns
18:19
Speaker 1: are out of office and back to the circus, the better.
18:23
Speaker 3: Absolutely back to the side show. Seriously, it's just ridiculous.
18:26
Speaker 2: You like to go to the pub to have a
18:28
Speaker 2: chat with friends, to have it chat about anything and
18:31
Speaker 2: what that's now offensive apparently unbelievable. What is going on
18:35
Speaker 2: over there? Now, I've got to ask you, Darren. Next
18:37
Speaker 2: week Donald Trump will of course become President of the
18:40
Speaker 2: United States again. But UK Prime Minister Kiir Starmer has
18:43
Speaker 2: been snubbed from the inauguration. Guest, listen, no shocks there.
18:47
Speaker 2: But Darren, what could Trump's second term mean for the UK?
18:51
Speaker 3: Do you think?
18:53
Speaker 6: Oh?
18:54
Speaker 1: Look, I'm absolutely delighted. I mean, first of all, it's
18:56
Speaker 1: worth noting that it's not surprise we've been snubbed, right,
18:59
Speaker 1: this labor goverment, the hysterical claims about Trump being a
19:03
Speaker 1: fascist or even worse, you know, some kind of mussoliniesque figure.
19:07
Speaker 1: Trumps second term will actually serve to show us what
19:12
Speaker 1: actual leadership looks like, right, What a cheap energy looks like,
19:15
Speaker 1: What lower taxes actually lead to? What confidence in your
19:19
Speaker 1: country and its values like border controls, like protecting your children,
19:25
Speaker 1: like free speech and economic independence. What these things actually
19:30
Speaker 1: look like and are worthwhile thing assets to protect. Meanwhile,
19:35
Speaker 1: we hear in little old Blighty that actually, you know,
19:38
Speaker 1: showed America the way in the first place. Well, we're
19:41
Speaker 1: stuck with record energy prices, the highest in the world.
19:45
Speaker 1: We're stuck with sky high taxes, higher than the been
19:48
Speaker 1: since the Second World War, when we were under the
19:51
Speaker 1: constraints of actually fighting off Nazi tyranny, and a government
19:55
Speaker 1: more concerned with net zero fantasies than actually fixing pot
20:00
Speaker 1: ales or healthcare systems that are more of an international
20:04
Speaker 1: laggard than they are world superpowers. Trump, actually, danikab will
20:08
Speaker 1: be a lesson in what we could be if we
20:11
Speaker 1: had a leader, leadership that actually put our interests first.
20:16
Speaker 1: That's why America first, That's why Maga, that's why Trump.
20:20
Speaker 1: That victory mattered so much to me personally from the
20:24
Speaker 1: other side of the Atlantic. It's a reminder from our
20:28
Speaker 1: American cousins of what Britain used to be, of what
20:31
Speaker 1: Britain can be again, of what they've taken from us.
20:36
Speaker 1: So I'm delighted to have that as a test subject,
20:41
Speaker 1: to be able to say, look at the freedoms our
20:45
Speaker 1: American cousins enjoy, look at how well they're doing, the
20:49
Speaker 1: successes that they are managing to extract from that Trump victory. Meanwhile,
20:54
Speaker 1: we're stuck in this sort of Starzy esque hellhole. That's
20:58
Speaker 1: the Keir Starmer has an inflicted upon us. I think
21:02
Speaker 1: it's going to show them up for the absolute joke
21:06
Speaker 1: that they are. And I wish him all the very best.
21:09
Speaker 1: I really really do. Because our American cousins they're leading
21:12
Speaker 1: the WII. They're going to show us and dare I
21:15
Speaker 1: see they're going to show you guys in Australia what
21:18
Speaker 1: you guys are missing out on as well.
21:20
Speaker 2: I absolutely agree, And you know, Darren, there really feels
21:23
Speaker 2: as though that there is now a cultural shift of
21:26
Speaker 2: sorts happening in parts of the world where people are
21:29
Speaker 2: it's a Trump effect.
21:29
Speaker 3: It's a Trump effect.
21:30
Speaker 2: People are moving away now from the woke and really
21:34
Speaker 2: I think when Donald Trump does come in it's going
21:36
Speaker 2: to change even.
21:38
Speaker 3: More for the better.
21:39
Speaker 2: But do you think that the UK will ever follow suit?
21:42
Speaker 2: Will there be a vibe shift there? I mean, you know,
21:44
Speaker 2: we just spoke about the pubs. That's a big problem
21:47
Speaker 2: in itself, but do you think that the vibe shift
21:49
Speaker 2: will actually happen over in the UK.
21:52
Speaker 1: So there's actually been pulling out that shows that amongst
21:54
Speaker 1: young people, the sixteen to twenty four demographic that reform
21:58
Speaker 1: UK under Nigel for us a good friend of Donald J. Trump,
22:02
Speaker 1: that actually he's doing very well is the second favorite
22:06
Speaker 1: among sixteen to twenty four year olds. The idea that
22:08
Speaker 1: they would vote for a right wing party. If you'd
22:10
Speaker 1: said that ten years ago, that would have been laughed at.
22:14
Speaker 1: But now they're actually doing incredibly well. I see that
22:17
Speaker 1: there is a real fervor, a real clamor to get
22:20
Speaker 1: back to common sense. So that's you know, that's why
22:23
Speaker 1: I think actually Trump will be the catalyst not just
22:26
Speaker 1: for Britain but for the Western world to get back
22:29
Speaker 1: to some semblance of sanity. Because you're absolutely right, You're
22:32
Speaker 1: analysis spot on. He has actually already shown. You've seen
22:37
Speaker 1: the likes of Facebook Meta under Mark Zuckerberg saying that
22:41
Speaker 1: actually they're going to put in place more free speech policies.
22:45
Speaker 1: You're seeing that divestments around things like the DEI Initiatives, diversity,
22:51
Speaker 1: acuity and inclusion, around the green crap. If I'm allowed
22:55
Speaker 1: to say that on your August channel, that actually all
22:58
Speaker 1: of these things are be laughed at, and that is
23:03
Speaker 1: music to my ears. I rejoice, and I say thank
23:07
Speaker 1: you so much, mister president. President forty five and forty seven,
23:11
Speaker 1: I wish you all the luck.
23:13
Speaker 2: And then some oh spoken so well, Dan, we're all
23:16
Speaker 2: done with the grain crap. Let me tell you that,
23:18
Speaker 2: Derek Grimes, you are brilliant.
23:21
Speaker 3: Great to speak with you. Thanks very much for joining
23:23
Speaker 3: me on the show this evening an absolute pleasure.
23:26
Speaker 1: As are you? As are you.
23:28
Speaker 3: Still to come?
23:29
Speaker 2: Lefties losing it? Now it's time for lefties losing it?
23:41
Speaker 2: Do you ever feel like you are multiple genders every
23:45
Speaker 2: day all the time.
23:47
Speaker 3: Well, that's totally fine, It's totally valid.
23:50
Speaker 10: I am triangender, which means like a triangle. I have
23:53
Speaker 10: three genders male, female, and non binary. And the difference
23:57
Speaker 10: between trygender and gender fluid is that I feel all
24:00
Speaker 10: three of these genders at the same time all the time.
24:03
Speaker 10: It doesn't ever shift or change where I feel one
24:06
Speaker 10: gender more strongly than the other, like gender fluid tends
24:10
Speaker 10: to be. Also, I should recognize and accept that a
24:13
Speaker 10: lot of people don't see non binary as a third gender.
24:17
Speaker 10: They see it as something completely separate from the binary
24:21
Speaker 10: of male and female. But for me, it's like a
24:25
Speaker 10: third gender, or I guess you could call it a
24:27
Speaker 10: third identity.
24:28
Speaker 3: Yes, you keep telling yourself that.
24:31
Speaker 2: Now to the DEI madness in golfing the LA Fire Department,
24:37
Speaker 2: and here is the most critical up to date breaking.
24:41
Speaker 3: News we've all been waiting for.
24:43
Speaker 4: My name is Captain Jennifer Wilcox. My pronouns are she her.
24:47
Speaker 4: I am a Caucasian female. We're in a black shirt
24:51
Speaker 4: uniform with I wear and a black hat.
24:54
Speaker 3: Well, good to know we've established that.
24:56
Speaker 2: I can really rest assured now that I know what
24:58
Speaker 2: your pronouns aren't what you you were wearing in the
25:00
Speaker 2: middle of a fire.
25:01
Speaker 3: Thank you, thank you so much for that.
25:03
Speaker 2: I mean, seriously, I don't care if they them cat cats,
25:06
Speaker 2: star stars. I think anyone saying would only care about
25:09
Speaker 2: whether you could actually do a good job in the
25:12
Speaker 2: event of a fire.
25:13
Speaker 3: It's a simple concept, really.
25:16
Speaker 2: Now to the pinup boy for stupidity, Gavin Newsome, a
25:20
Speaker 2: man who is nothing but his hair, so thank goodness,
25:25
Speaker 2: his weird shoulder gesticulations have been turned into an AI
25:29
Speaker 2: meme that's got quite a quite a ring to it,
25:55
Speaker 2: doesn't it. But I suspect though that this might top it.
25:58
Speaker 2: Here is the meme featuring the woke characters of the
26:01
Speaker 2: bushfire Crisis.
26:03
Speaker 9: All the holds are because of climate change.
26:10
Speaker 7: When the fire, I'll build a brand new Ellen.
26:18
Speaker 9: Here's seven hundred lang Rabbit.
26:22
Speaker 7: Is underwey underway, California's.
26:26
Speaker 3: Color in the departments, game.
26:33
Speaker 7: Loos in the streets, leegals.
26:37
Speaker 11: On the way, well when to the well?
26:44
Speaker 2: There's no water today, Spotify, please please make that a song.
26:51
Speaker 3: That's the best thing I've saying on the internet this year. Now,
26:54
Speaker 3: it wouldn't quite be a left. He's losing it without
26:57
Speaker 3: the chief Loon herself. Of course it is drum Roll
27:01
Speaker 3: MSNBC's Joy Raid.
27:03
Speaker 2: Boy, does she outdo herself every time, because now she's climbing.
27:08
Speaker 2: The Republicans have politicized the California fires and have ulterior
27:13
Speaker 2: motives for the rest of the country.
27:15
Speaker 12: They can drill and frack California till the fires this
27:19
Speaker 12: past week pale in comparison. They can rip out all
27:23
Speaker 12: the forests and hand over the land to developers Florida style.
27:27
Speaker 12: They can drive out the brown people and the black
27:29
Speaker 12: and Asian people, or just sink them into the same
27:31
Speaker 12: apartheid they've.
27:32
Speaker 3: Created in Texas.
27:34
Speaker 12: And they will control enough electoral votes if they control
27:37
Speaker 12: California to never have to worry about another presidential election.
27:40
Speaker 2: Ah, poor Joy, She's really lost it, hasn't she. And
27:43
Speaker 2: that the tolerant left, they're all so harmonious and peaceful.
27:48
Speaker 3: A reminder, here is the warning Trump gave her mus.
27:51
Speaker 13: If those hostages aren't back, I don't want to hurt
27:54
Speaker 13: your negotiation. If they're not back by the time I
27:57
Speaker 13: get into office, all hell will break out in the
28:01
Speaker 13: Middle East, and it will not be good for Amas,
28:04
Speaker 13: and it will not be good, frankly for anyone. All
28:06
Speaker 13: hell will break.
28:07
Speaker 2: Out now despite the progress, Joe Biden is taking all
28:11
Speaker 2: the credit.
28:12
Speaker 3: What's credit for this, mister President?
28:14
Speaker 11: You or try?
28:17
Speaker 5: Is that a joke?
28:18
Speaker 9: Oh?
28:19
Speaker 6: Thank you.
28:23
Speaker 3: Joining me now?
28:23
Speaker 2: Is journalist and filmmaker Army horoinz How important is this moment?
28:27
Speaker 3: And do you think it is indeed a good deal? Yeah?
28:31
Speaker 7: No, mister President, that wasn't a joke.
28:35
Speaker 3: You're a joke.
28:36
Speaker 7: If you think for a second you're gonna take credit
28:38
Speaker 7: for what happened here, you're insane. Look, there's a concept
28:43
Speaker 7: in American sports, I assume in Australian sports also, I
28:47
Speaker 7: don't know what kind of sports you guys played, Was
28:48
Speaker 7: that like Australian rules baseball or something. There's a thing
28:52
Speaker 7: called trash talking, right, the idea that you'll use words
28:57
Speaker 7: to get into the head of your opponent and that
29:00
Speaker 7: when you use those words, it affects their behavior, and
29:04
Speaker 7: you change their behavior because they're scared. Particularly if you
29:07
Speaker 7: can back it up, right, you're gonna push them to
29:10
Speaker 7: your will because the words that you use. This is
29:14
Speaker 7: classic trash talking. Right. When the president says all hell
29:18
Speaker 7: is gonna break loose, his opponents say, what does he mean?
29:21
Speaker 7: What was he talking about? And they had four years
29:24
Speaker 7: with presidency and they know that he could back it up.
29:27
Speaker 7: So this is what we're talking about. Also, in January
29:30
Speaker 7: twenty sixth, nineteen hundred, Teddy Roosevelt wrote a letter to
29:34
Speaker 7: Henry L. Sprague, a congressman from Boston, and in that
29:38
Speaker 7: letter he used the immortal words speak softly and carry
29:42
Speaker 7: a big stick.
29:43
Speaker 3: Right.
29:43
Speaker 7: I don't know if you guys Australians know that, but
29:45
Speaker 7: all Americans know that phrase. Now Trump has turned that
29:48
Speaker 7: on his head. He speaks loudly and carries a big stick.
29:52
Speaker 7: This is what you're seeing, you're seeing today the Trump
29:55
Speaker 7: effector like everybody's saying it over and over again, it
29:57
Speaker 7: is absolutely, one hundred percent demonstrably true.
30:02
Speaker 3: And not just what the hostage is.
30:03
Speaker 7: Right, we had an entire wit over a year of
30:06
Speaker 7: an ineffective president who could not get the hostages released,
30:10
Speaker 7: and now he gets elected and all of a sudden
30:12
Speaker 7: the released. There's no connection. You've got to be a
30:14
Speaker 7: crazy person not to think that. But what you see
30:18
Speaker 7: now is a Trump effect across the board, right, So
30:21
Speaker 7: you see, for example, when it comes to Denmark. I
30:23
Speaker 7: think it's a great example. I think people were talking
30:25
Speaker 7: about how crazy he is. Oh my god, we're gonna
30:28
Speaker 7: try to acquire Greenland. Well guess what because of his verbosity,
30:34
Speaker 7: what does Denmark agree to do? Now they're saying, hey,
30:37
Speaker 7: you know what, we're actually going to increase our funding
30:39
Speaker 7: and our attention on Greenland so we can counter affect
30:43
Speaker 7: the Chinese and the Russians, exactly what Trump meant to
30:47
Speaker 7: happen through his trolley. Now your question about whether or
30:51
Speaker 7: not there's a good deal or not, Look, this is
30:53
Speaker 7: very difficult to assess. First of all, we're in early days.
30:56
Speaker 7: Second of all, look it's we're here, they're in there,
31:01
Speaker 7: right the Prime Minister of the Israelis, they're involved in
31:03
Speaker 7: day to days, they're hostages. It's difficult for us to
31:06
Speaker 7: apply on whether or not it's a good deal. I
31:08
Speaker 7: would just say this, Look, you have to understand the
31:10
Speaker 7: downsides before you go in. I think a way to
31:14
Speaker 7: assess the downside looking at the glad ch Elite deal
31:17
Speaker 7: that was made Lachalit was a Israeli soldier was held
31:19
Speaker 7: for a few years and they sentially released dozens, actually
31:24
Speaker 7: hundreds of palace to day in terrists, people with blood
31:27
Speaker 7: on their hands, similar to what this deal we're having now.
31:30
Speaker 7: And two years after that deal was made, Israeli security
31:35
Speaker 7: forces had stopped over forty attempted terrorist attacks by those
31:40
Speaker 7: particular people. Over a dozen people were actually murdered two
31:45
Speaker 7: years later directly by the people who were released. And
31:49
Speaker 7: I like people have been saying, one of the people
31:51
Speaker 7: who were released, by the way, then was Yah Sinwar,
31:55
Speaker 7: who of course was the mastermind behind October seventh.
31:58
Speaker 3: No.
31:58
Speaker 2: And just to pick you up on that, I mean
32:00
Speaker 2: you mentioned the Trump effects. There's no doubt that Trump's
32:02
Speaker 2: had a huge influence. He has been warning her Musk
32:05
Speaker 2: for weeks and yet the White House is still refusing
32:08
Speaker 2: to acknowledge Trump.
32:09
Speaker 14: Have a look at this appointment for our colleagues that
32:13
Speaker 14: President Trumps was critical and getting the steal over the line.
32:16
Speaker 7: Do you not agree with that statement?
32:17
Speaker 4: I mean, look, I'm not going to speak to a
32:21
Speaker 4: random person.
32:23
Speaker 3: I don't know who this person is.
32:25
Speaker 2: I'm not going to I mean, I can't wait to
32:27
Speaker 2: never see this White House Press secretary ever again. I mean,
32:31
Speaker 2: she's just absolutely deluded. But the reality is, what has
32:35
Speaker 2: Biden been doing for the last fourteen months, and not
32:37
Speaker 2: to mention all of the policies that he has implemented,
32:40
Speaker 2: it has done nothing to help Israel out.
32:44
Speaker 7: I don't think he knows what he's been doing for
32:46
Speaker 7: the last fourteen minles. So you expect me to know
32:48
Speaker 7: what the man's been doing.
32:49
Speaker 4: No.
32:49
Speaker 7: I love that that random person and you could hear
32:53
Speaker 7: them literally, she's your colleague. Look, delusional is the right word.
33:00
Speaker 7: Delusional has been really what this entire presidency has been
33:04
Speaker 7: one long delusion. Thank god it's over. I did, look, Dennick,
33:11
Speaker 7: I want disagree with you. I am actually I feel terrible.
33:15
Speaker 7: I'm not gonna see her again. She was wonderful. She
33:18
Speaker 7: gave me so much com I don't know what I'm
33:20
Speaker 7: going to talk about going forward the next year. She
33:22
Speaker 7: meant like literally twenty five percent of my content. So
33:25
Speaker 7: I don't know why you're talking about.
33:27
Speaker 3: What will you do now? Armie. Well, you know who
33:29
Speaker 3: else are we going to talk about now exactly? Gosh,
33:32
Speaker 3: good riddance, though, I say, now, look, let's.
33:34
Speaker 2: Move on, because it's been another day of Donald Trump's
33:36
Speaker 2: picks absolutely shutting down dumb senators during confirmation hearings. Pete
33:41
Speaker 2: Hegseth performed brilliant yesterday, but now it was Attorney General
33:45
Speaker 2: nominee Pam Bondie's turn, and I think she nailed it.
33:48
Speaker 2: Here she is turning the tables on Democrat Adam Sheef.
33:51
Speaker 2: I'm asking you, sitting here today, whether you are aware
33:54
Speaker 2: of a factual predicate to investigate Liz Cheney.
33:57
Speaker 14: Senator, you need to investigate Liz Cheney.
34:00
Speaker 3: That is the high president we're be worried about.
34:08
Speaker 14: Right now. Are aware by your robbery's higher than the
34:13
Speaker 14: national question?
34:15
Speaker 3: That's what I want to question.
34:17
Speaker 2: You have the And finally enough, this is the very
34:22
Speaker 2: same dopey man who happens to sleep doze off during
34:27
Speaker 2: hearings himself.
34:28
Speaker 3: How dumb he's Democrats on me.
34:31
Speaker 7: I mean, if only him dozing off was the only
34:35
Speaker 7: thing that Adam Shift did, I think we've been in
34:37
Speaker 7: a better position for this country. Look, the richness of
34:41
Speaker 7: the Democrats attacking Pam Bondi asking her if she's going
34:45
Speaker 7: to do the dirty work for the president is so
34:49
Speaker 7: clear and so rich, and for Adam shift the tip
34:53
Speaker 7: of the sphere of creating in the weaponization of the
34:57
Speaker 7: Justice Department to have him I mean, does he have
35:00
Speaker 7: no shame to go up there and grill Pam Bonn's issue.
35:04
Speaker 7: This is what this man did for four years, the
35:08
Speaker 7: Russia hoax over and over again, the weaponization of all
35:12
Speaker 7: of the structures of our government that he and the
35:15
Speaker 7: Democrats had put to use against President Trump. I mean,
35:19
Speaker 7: have they no shame? They're not looking at they not
35:21
Speaker 7: have mirrors in their homes. It's ridiculous. No, she did
35:25
Speaker 7: school them.
35:25
Speaker 3: How do I know that?
35:26
Speaker 7: Because after that fiery exchange, you just played on the
35:30
Speaker 7: second half of Adam Shipp's questions. He was far different.
35:34
Speaker 7: He's a different person, wider, more respectful. When she turned
35:38
Speaker 7: it around and said, yeah, maybe you should spend more
35:40
Speaker 7: time working about the crime in California than worrying about
35:44
Speaker 7: these issues, we'd all be better off. It was wonderful
35:47
Speaker 7: to see.
35:48
Speaker 3: It was great.
35:48
Speaker 7: Pam Bondi's gonna do a great job.
35:51
Speaker 2: Yeah, she's got these lidedickes wrapped around her finger. And
35:53
Speaker 2: I also tried these bullying tactics on it. And here
35:56
Speaker 2: was the response.
35:57
Speaker 13: Have a look the naxt question speak of hook answers
36:01
Speaker 13: yes one, Senator, will we met YESTERD you pointed your finger.
36:05
Speaker 3: It means.
36:07
Speaker 1: Let me answer my question.
36:08
Speaker 3: I'm not going to be bullied because the fourteenth Amendment.
36:11
Speaker 3: You tell me and this committee what the citizenship clouse
36:14
Speaker 3: of the fourteenth Amendment says?
36:16
Speaker 14: Senator. I'm here to answer your questions. I'm not here
36:19
Speaker 14: to do your homework and study for you. If I
36:21
Speaker 14: am confirmed the.
36:22
Speaker 1: One asking for a confirmation book, you put me off.
36:25
Speaker 14: Can I please finish?
36:26
Speaker 1: What does the fourteenth Amendment say, Senator?
36:28
Speaker 14: Senator the fourteenth Amendment? We all who address this birthright citizenship.
36:32
Speaker 14: I have been a state prosecutor. I have been a
36:34
Speaker 14: state ag.
36:35
Speaker 3: Yeah.
36:35
Speaker 2: She just handled herself with so much grace there. I
36:37
Speaker 2: just think she's fantastic. But look, let's move on. Because
36:39
Speaker 2: Donald Trump's nominee for Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, has
36:43
Speaker 2: worn that a dangerous China cheated its way to super
36:46
Speaker 2: superpower status and described it as the most potent and
36:49
Speaker 2: dangerous near peer adversary this nation has ever faced.
36:53
Speaker 8: Have a look, if we stay on the road we're
36:54
Speaker 8: on right now, in less than ten years, virtually everything
36:58
Speaker 8: that matters to us in life will depend on whether
37:00
Speaker 8: China will allow us to have it or not. Everything
37:03
Speaker 8: from the blood pressure medicine we take, to what movies
37:06
Speaker 8: we get to watch, and everything in between, we will
37:08
Speaker 8: depend on China for it. They have come to dominate
37:11
Speaker 8: the critical mineral industry supplies throughout the world. Everywhere in
37:15
Speaker 8: the world, they've now established critical mineral rights. Even those
37:18
Speaker 8: who want to see more electric cars, no matter where
37:20
Speaker 8: you make them, those batteries are almost entirely dependent on
37:23
Speaker 8: the ability of the Chinese and the willingness of the
37:26
Speaker 8: Chinese Communist Party to produce it and export it to you.
37:29
Speaker 2: I mean no doubt he's going to be a very
37:30
Speaker 2: strong secretary of State.
37:32
Speaker 3: What do you make of those comments?
37:35
Speaker 7: Yeah, First of all, I was in China last week,
37:37
Speaker 7: and it's a scary place to be. Everywhere you go,
37:40
Speaker 7: or cameras you go the subway, literally as you put
37:43
Speaker 7: your ticket is the subway tollbooth. There's literally cameras that
37:48
Speaker 7: you're looking at. There's doing facial recognition you see the
37:50
Speaker 7: square around your face. It's a scary, scary fascist place.
37:54
Speaker 7: It is the most potent and dangerous enemy we have,
37:57
Speaker 7: and he recognized that. First of all, I want to
37:59
Speaker 7: say that it seems to me now that all the
38:02
Speaker 7: of the obstinates of the Democrats to Trump's nominee and
38:07
Speaker 7: the melting away, I'm glad to see it. I don't
38:10
Speaker 7: think it's in small part because the polling that they
38:13
Speaker 7: see also and the last polling we saw it just
38:15
Speaker 7: came out a few days ago that President Trump is
38:18
Speaker 7: now in a percentage basis twenty five percent ahead of
38:22
Speaker 7: Joe Biden. No shock there. But I think what I
38:25
Speaker 7: think we see here in the important takeaway here is
38:28
Speaker 7: that when you look at a person like Marco Rubio,
38:31
Speaker 7: you see that Trump is not going to be an isolationist.
38:35
Speaker 9: Right.
38:35
Speaker 7: That's what people kept saying, that being America first and
38:39
Speaker 7: being engaged in the world are not mutually exclusive. The
38:43
Speaker 7: Trump and his nominees understand the threat that we face,
38:47
Speaker 7: whether it be China or Russia, right, or Iran or Hmas.
38:53
Speaker 7: They know it, they understand it, they want to engage it.
38:56
Speaker 7: This is not an isolationist. It wasn't the first term.
38:59
Speaker 7: It will not be the second term. It's a real robust,
39:03
Speaker 7: a diverse administration that I think will put the world
39:08
Speaker 7: in a better place, no question about it.
39:10
Speaker 2: No, I completely I agree with you. You're absolutely spot on.
39:13
Speaker 2: Now I want to talk to you about Meta because
39:16
Speaker 2: Mark Zuckerberg is apparently facing a revolt of sorts from
39:20
Speaker 2: staff who were just so furious about his quote Maga makeover. This,
39:25
Speaker 2: of course, comes after the Facebook founders said that there
39:28
Speaker 2: was too much censorship on Facebook as well as Instagram.
39:32
Speaker 3: And I had to laugh here.
39:33
Speaker 2: One employee said, it's total chaos internally at Meta right now.
39:37
Speaker 2: I'd call the mood shock and disbelief. I mean, you've
39:41
Speaker 2: just got a laugh, don't you.
39:43
Speaker 7: It's just funny now, It's Look, it's great, it's wonderful,
39:47
Speaker 7: it's rich. I want to see what they're going to say,
39:50
Speaker 7: because Mark Zuckerberg is actually going through inauguration and I
39:54
Speaker 7: think it's gonna be wonderful to see him sitting next
39:55
Speaker 7: to you, line Musk, which is the plan. Look, I
39:59
Speaker 7: don't blame the guy. He's looking out for his own interests, right.
40:02
Speaker 7: He understands what's happening in the next four years. He
40:04
Speaker 7: wants to get ahead of it, and I think it's
40:06
Speaker 7: all great. I think I want less censorship. I mean
40:08
Speaker 7: I think all of us, including your company, you personally,
40:11
Speaker 7: I'm sure me personally saw the effects of censorship on
40:15
Speaker 7: our o social media. So have that turn around, have
40:19
Speaker 7: a more open discussion. Allowing us to have our view
40:22
Speaker 7: and not be censored is a great thing. I think
40:24
Speaker 7: it's a wonderful. And all these idiots who work for
40:26
Speaker 7: these social media companies who are leftists, Yes, screw you.
40:30
Speaker 2: Ought we put a beautifully as otherwise. Avi Horowitz, nicest
40:35
Speaker 2: chat tee. Thank you very much for joining me on
40:37
Speaker 2: the show this evening.
40:39
Speaker 7: Always a pleasure.
40:40
Speaker 3: Still it's a.
40:40
Speaker 2: Common frenchwoman reportedly scammed daff of almost a million dollars
40:44
Speaker 2: after thinking she was dting brand Pete Kinsey Scarfield will
40:48
Speaker 2: tell us what happened next. Welcome could joining me now
41:00
Speaker 2: is celebrity and royal reporter Kinsey Schofield. Kinsey, thanks for
41:04
Speaker 2: joining me. Let's talk about Ben Affleck. He looked very
41:07
Speaker 2: visibly frustrated when he was photographed speaking with law enforcement
41:11
Speaker 2: outside his home in LA And this is just two
41:14
Speaker 2: days after the Federal Bureau of Investigation also paid him
41:17
Speaker 2: a visit.
41:18
Speaker 3: What exactly is going on here, do you think, Well, we.
41:22
Speaker 11: Don't know exactly, but we do believe that the conversation
41:26
Speaker 11: he was having in those photos was likely related to
41:30
Speaker 11: the police presence. They were searching out drones. I mean,
41:34
Speaker 11: like everyone else in the United States of America on
41:36
Speaker 11: the West Coast, we're having issues with unauthorized drones, and
41:40
Speaker 11: so that is why you were seeing the police presence
41:43
Speaker 11: in the area. But also, you know, we've had ben
41:46
Speaker 11: lives where they have had the fires. He was evacuated
41:50
Speaker 11: at one point and ended up in Jennifer Garner's house.
41:52
Speaker 11: We've had over sixty people arrested for looting, you know,
41:55
Speaker 11: these abandoned homes. So the police presence is not surprising,
42:00
Speaker 11: but we do not know what the circumstances were.
42:03
Speaker 2: Oh well, it would be interesting to see if there's
42:05
Speaker 2: another visit in this week, but I'll be curious to
42:08
Speaker 2: know what happened there. Now, Look, this one really fascinates me.
42:11
Speaker 2: I want to talk about this ongoing It ends with
42:14
Speaker 2: US drama that is justin Baldoni versus Blake Lively. Of course,
42:18
Speaker 2: she is suing her co star and director for sexual harassment.
42:21
Speaker 2: But now Baldoni is warning Disney and Marvel to hold
42:25
Speaker 2: on to all documents related to the various characters that
42:28
Speaker 2: Lively's husband, Ryan Reynolds played in Deadpool and Wolverine, as
42:33
Speaker 2: he's of course mounting some legal action there. Kinsey, Baldoni
42:37
Speaker 2: is apparently focusing in on a particular character that he
42:40
Speaker 2: believes was intended to mock and bully him.
42:43
Speaker 3: It doesn't make sense what's going on.
42:46
Speaker 11: It's a character named Nace Pool in the film, and
42:49
Speaker 11: he's got long care. Baldoni had long here for a while.
42:53
Speaker 11: He makes a joke about being a feminist, and you know,
42:57
Speaker 11: to me, it's like, so what if Rayansan Reynolds is
43:00
Speaker 11: bullying Justin Baldoni and in his Wolverine movie Deadpool Wolverine movie,
43:06
Speaker 11: that's not illegal. What Blake Lavely is accusing him of
43:10
Speaker 11: is illegal. So I think that this is just such
43:12
Speaker 11: a weird It's almost like you're grasping at straws at
43:15
Speaker 11: this point.
43:17
Speaker 2: A So that's exactly what I thought as well. I
43:20
Speaker 2: feel like Baldoni's is trying to cling onto anything here to.
43:23
Speaker 3: Mount a case, but he's going about it the wrong.
43:25
Speaker 2: Way, and he's looking ridiculous in the process of it.
43:28
Speaker 3: It's just so silly.
43:30
Speaker 2: Now a frenchwoman has apparently been duped out of nearly
43:34
Speaker 2: eight hundred and fifty thousand dollars in an AI related
43:37
Speaker 2: scam that had her belief she was dating Brad Pitt himself.
43:42
Speaker 3: Kinsey, Look, one can obviously dream of that, but how
43:47
Speaker 3: did she fall for this? What happened?
43:50
Speaker 11: You have to look at these images that this woman
43:52
Speaker 11: received from the fake Brad Pitt, because you and I
43:56
Speaker 11: would have caught in a heartbeat that these were AI's
43:59
Speaker 11: done better, and he would have had six.
44:01
Speaker 3: Fingers if AI would. That's how these are, like cut
44:04
Speaker 3: and past. They're so bad. She's fifty three years old.
44:07
Speaker 11: Her name is Ann. The reason she was able to
44:09
Speaker 11: send him, you know, almost nine hundred thousand dollars was
44:13
Speaker 11: because she was married to a millionaire at the time
44:17
Speaker 11: she divorced him because she thought she was in a
44:21
Speaker 11: relationship with Brad Pitt. I mean, I can't process that whatsoever.
44:27
Speaker 3: I mean, you have made a horrible list. I think
44:31
Speaker 3: what on earth was she thinking? Like?
44:34
Speaker 2: How could she honestly believe that she was in a
44:37
Speaker 2: relationship with the Brad Pitt. I'm sorry but the joke
44:42
Speaker 2: is on her. She has totally stuffed this one up.
44:45
Speaker 2: It's hard to find sympathy, honestly. But you know, look,
44:47
Speaker 2: I hope she I hope she find gets back that money.
44:49
Speaker 2: It's a lot of money. It's almost a million dollars there. Now, look,
44:53
Speaker 2: let's turn to the royals, because Harry and Meghan have
44:56
Speaker 2: slammed Mark Zuckerberg for quote contributing to a global mental
45:01
Speaker 2: health crisis after Meta scrapped fact checking and restrictions on
45:05
Speaker 2: free speech. Now, obviously this is the Donald Trump effect
45:08
Speaker 2: in full swing at Kinsey. But what has upset these
45:11
Speaker 2: non royals so much about the decision.
45:15
Speaker 11: What's upset the non royal so much about the situation
45:18
Speaker 11: is you know, I'll give you one of the lines
45:20
Speaker 11: from the release they sent out. They said it was
45:24
Speaker 11: undoubtedly a response to political wins, which is clearly a
45:28
Speaker 11: reference to the upcoming president Donald Trump, who Harry and
45:32
Speaker 11: Meghan have a very bitter history with. You know, Prince
45:35
Speaker 11: Harry has said in the past that Donald Trump has
45:37
Speaker 11: blood on his hands when it comes to climate change.
45:40
Speaker 11: Meghan's called him a misogynist. I mean, they have a
45:44
Speaker 11: really bad history with Trump, also threatening to deport Prince
45:48
Speaker 11: Harry if he's not in the States legally. I also
45:51
Speaker 11: think it's funny. I don't know if you were aware
45:53
Speaker 11: of this, but there was a story in page six
45:55
Speaker 11: a few weeks ago when Meghan relaunched her Instagram account
45:58
Speaker 11: that Meghan was working personally with Meta to try to
46:01
Speaker 11: navigate bullying online. And this proves to me that that
46:04
Speaker 11: relationship doesn't exist. And I feel like that relationship doesn't exist,
46:10
Speaker 11: and she is potentially resentful about that, and that's why
46:13
Speaker 11: they're so upset about this.
46:16
Speaker 2: Yeah, it seems like a big sham. I think you're
46:18
Speaker 2: absolutely spot on. Now, speaking of those two, Megan and
46:21
Speaker 2: Harry have taken offense to being called disaster tourists after
46:25
Speaker 2: photos surface of them distributing food and supplies to California
46:29
Speaker 2: five victims. Kinsey who made these comments.
46:33
Speaker 11: Justine Bateman is an actress. Family ties her. I don't
46:38
Speaker 11: you might be familiar with her very handsome brother, Jason Bateman,
46:42
Speaker 11: who's also a movie star.
46:44
Speaker 3: You know, she lives in the area.
46:45
Speaker 11: Though she complained saying that they were tourists that were
46:49
Speaker 11: just coming think about how paranoid Prince Harry is about security,
46:53
Speaker 11: and they drove almost two hundred miles to walk along
46:57
Speaker 11: our ashes. I mean it's vulgar, it's vibe.
47:00
Speaker 3: I completely agree.
47:02
Speaker 11: With Justine Bateman, and I don't care if Harriet and
47:05
Speaker 11: Megan are offended. I'm offended that you're using our devastation
47:09
Speaker 11: for a photo opportunity. She was also pictured today at
47:13
Speaker 11: another charity. You can't tell me.
47:15
Speaker 3: This woman is capable of.
47:17
Speaker 11: Disappearing for months, if not years at a time without
47:20
Speaker 11: having a photo taken of herself, and we see her
47:23
Speaker 11: back to back within the span of a week. She
47:25
Speaker 11: is putting herself in the position to have her photo
47:28
Speaker 11: taken because this is a desperate attempt at a rebrand,
47:31
Speaker 11: because Mama's.
47:32
Speaker 3: Got a new Netflix show coming out, and that's.
47:34
Speaker 11: All that this is.
47:36
Speaker 2: Absolutely it's all publicity for the new Netflix show.
47:39
Speaker 3: It's the look at me.
47:40
Speaker 2: I'm an angel, I'm so nice, Take my photo, Take
47:44
Speaker 2: a photo of me hugging people.
47:46
Speaker 3: Many of us can see right through that nonsense.
47:48
Speaker 2: Kinsey Schofield, nice to chat, Thanks very much for joining
47:51
Speaker 2: me on the show this evening.
47:53
Speaker 3: Well that's it for me. Up next is Newsnight. Good Night,
