Speaker 1: On scoring MS Australia. This is the Wader Panalty Show.
0:08
Speaker 2: Good evening and welcome to the reader Panicky Show. Coming
0:11
Speaker 2: up tonight, some of Melbourne's most popular venues at risk
0:15
Speaker 2: of closing for good amid a spate of attacks against
0:18
Speaker 2: the hospitality sector. Daniel Wild will join me to cover
0:22
Speaker 2: today's top headlines. Leftist writer Jane Carra has again taken
0:26
Speaker 2: aim at private schools. The CEO of Christian Schools of Australia,
0:30
Speaker 2: doctor Daniel Pam Cook, will be on the show to respond.
0:35
Speaker 2: Mi Horowitz will bring us the latest from the US,
0:38
Speaker 2: including violent clashes between mobs of anti Israeli protesters and
0:42
Speaker 2: police outside a New York City synagogue, and later in
0:47
Speaker 2: the hour we'll look at the suicide note left by
0:50
Speaker 2: Jeffrey Epstein allegedly and left he is losing It features
0:54
Speaker 2: actress Gwyneth Paltrow, who has made a fortune selling crap
0:58
Speaker 2: to women, decrying the antiques of rich white men.
1:02
Speaker 3: Now all that matters is these kind of super wretch
1:06
Speaker 3: weight dudes who are breaking rules setting rules.
1:10
Speaker 2: But first, Melbourne's crime crisis and the targeting of the
1:13
Speaker 2: hospitality sector could see a number of venues close up
1:17
Speaker 2: for good. Under threat, nightclubs and bars say they are
1:21
Speaker 2: just weeks away from closing their doors amid a scourge
1:25
Speaker 2: of violent attacks on their businesses. Dozens of attacks in
1:28
Speaker 2: recent weeks has seen some of the most popular venues
1:31
Speaker 2: come under fire, including Electric Bar, Bambi, the Emerson, the
1:35
Speaker 2: Albion and Soho, to name just a few. Long standing
1:39
Speaker 2: Russell Street nightclub Billboard is the latest venue to be
1:42
Speaker 2: warned there a potential target. Victoria Police has held crisis
1:47
Speaker 2: talks with the state government over this issue, which has
1:50
Speaker 2: seen thirty five people arrested with a combined one hundred
1:54
Speaker 2: and forty chargers. A leading figure in the hospitality sector
1:58
Speaker 2: told me yesterday.
1:59
Speaker 4: That the Indus was on its knees.
2:02
Speaker 2: He said, it's a effing disaster. We run the risk
2:05
Speaker 2: of losing the entire industry. Victoria relies on the hospitality industry.
2:10
Speaker 2: If that goes, what does Melbourne have left. That's a
2:14
Speaker 2: good question. It's not just the loss of businesses, the
2:17
Speaker 2: loss of jobs, it's the knock on effect on supplies.
2:20
Speaker 2: We're talking about billions of dollars. We are at a
2:24
Speaker 2: crisis point. The veteran operator wants to issue raised in
2:28
Speaker 2: federal Parliament and has called on the dissenter Alan government
2:31
Speaker 2: to take the matter more seriously. He said there's been
2:35
Speaker 2: no relief, no assistance, and we keep being hit with
2:39
Speaker 2: more taxes, more obstacles. Bar twenty owner Michael Trimble also
2:44
Speaker 2: spoke out. He said it's relentless every day. It's hard
2:48
Speaker 2: to feel like you're living in a prosperous first world
2:51
Speaker 2: city when you're turning on the news every day and
2:54
Speaker 2: seeing these kind of incidents just happening all the time.
2:58
Speaker 2: I don't know how much worse it has to get
3:00
Speaker 2: yet before we start taking drastic measures. Joining me now
3:04
Speaker 2: for more on this is Institute of Public Affairs Executive
3:07
Speaker 2: director Daniel Wild.
3:09
Speaker 5: Dad.
3:10
Speaker 4: Melbourne does like.
3:11
Speaker 2: To see itself as a center of culture and cosmopolitan
3:16
Speaker 2: life where people socialize and have great coffee and great food.
3:22
Speaker 2: And if you take that away, really what does this
3:25
Speaker 2: city have left right now?
3:26
Speaker 1: Well, not much at the moment is there?
3:28
Speaker 6: And I think this is another example of how Melbourne
3:31
Speaker 6: is becoming increasingly lawless.
3:33
Speaker 1: I don't think the government really cares about this at all.
3:36
Speaker 6: I don't think they understand it, and unfortunately, I think
3:39
Speaker 6: it's just another example of how Melbourne, which was one
3:42
Speaker 6: of the greatest cities for all of the reasons that
3:44
Speaker 6: you mentioned and many more, has dramatically fallen over the
3:48
Speaker 6: last few years, losing jobs, losing industry. The city has
3:53
Speaker 6: been largely gutted. You've got a Lord Mayor who's completely
3:55
Speaker 6: and totally hopeless, completely woke, totally hopeless.
3:59
Speaker 1: They've got a voice to Parlia. Don't worry about that.
4:00
Speaker 6: But when it comes to a chat and it's treaty, yeah,
4:02
Speaker 6: thats going to fix it all obviously. So they've just
4:04
Speaker 6: got the priorities are completely and totally wrong.
4:07
Speaker 2: Well, police are said to be ushley irate with what's
4:11
Speaker 2: happening this revolving door. They call it a catch and
4:14
Speaker 2: release program where they do make arrest and they have
4:17
Speaker 2: arrested several people as were just mentioned, but quite a
4:21
Speaker 2: lot of them get bail and sometimes within hours.
4:24
Speaker 6: Well, the police need the tools to get the job done.
4:27
Speaker 6: And if they're catching people then they're released or they're
4:30
Speaker 6: not being put away in the way they should, then
4:31
Speaker 6: that's going to.
4:32
Speaker 1: Demoralize the police.
4:33
Speaker 6: The other thing that the frontline police are dealing with
4:36
Speaker 6: is terrible police leadership. Over many years because Victoria police
4:40
Speaker 6: allowed themselves to be co opted by the Daniel Andrews
4:43
Speaker 6: government and turned into a weapon against the people during COVID.
4:45
Speaker 1: So you're already dealing with a low.
4:47
Speaker 6: Trust towards police environment and I feel for the frontline
4:51
Speaker 6: cops who are trying to do the right thing and
4:52
Speaker 6: they don't have the tools or the support. So you know,
4:55
Speaker 6: this is what happens when you lose the trust of
4:56
Speaker 6: the public. It has flow on effects.
4:58
Speaker 2: Like we're seeing ye, morale within the police force is
5:01
Speaker 2: said to be at just terrible levels. They've got a
5:06
Speaker 2: lot of people leaving a lot of experience walking out
5:09
Speaker 2: the door and they're having trouble recruiting adequate numbers now.
5:12
Speaker 2: Experts have warned that Australia's housing landscape faces a massive
5:17
Speaker 2: dislocation under the government's negative gearing changes. The changes are
5:22
Speaker 2: expected to trigger an exodus of mum and dad investors
5:25
Speaker 2: from the market, while also forcing renters out of inner
5:29
Speaker 2: city suburbs. R MIT University economics professor Sinclair Davidson said,
5:35
Speaker 2: we're not talking about the megawealthy here. We're talking about
5:38
Speaker 2: people with one, maybe two houses that they've invested in
5:42
Speaker 2: to pay their retirement income. Dan We are seeing this
5:45
Speaker 2: phenomenon already in Victoria. With the high taxes, high property taxes,
5:51
Speaker 2: the tenancy laws, Mum and dad investors are getting out
5:55
Speaker 2: of the market, and the federal government is just going
5:58
Speaker 2: to turbocharge that across the country with these changes to
6:02
Speaker 2: negative gearing capital gains tax discount.
6:04
Speaker 6: Well, the federal government's completely stuffed the housing market for
6:07
Speaker 6: two reasons. So firstly, they had the National Housing Accord,
6:10
Speaker 6: which was their big ambition to build one point two
6:13
Speaker 6: million homes. Now they have missed that target every single
6:17
Speaker 6: month of the twenty months that it's been in action.
6:19
Speaker 1: They've totally failed.
6:20
Speaker 6: And Secondly, they've turbocharged demand with this mass migration program.
6:24
Speaker 6: So at the exact time that they have failed to
6:27
Speaker 6: build the houses that they have said that they will do,
6:30
Speaker 6: they are putting in millions of migrants into our country
6:32
Speaker 6: without that housing being there to begin with. All of
6:35
Speaker 6: this negative gearing capital gains changes is only going to
6:38
Speaker 6: exacerbate a fundamental structural problem that they have created themselves.
6:43
Speaker 2: And why would you want to have any sort of
6:46
Speaker 2: policy implemented, whether you're a state government or a federal
6:50
Speaker 2: government that is going to drive mom and dad investors
6:53
Speaker 2: from the market. They're precisely the type of people you
6:57
Speaker 2: should be encouraging to invest in property, not only because
7:00
Speaker 2: it helps supply, but it also means that they're building
7:04
Speaker 2: wealth and are going to not depend on pensions at
7:07
Speaker 2: a later stage, They're going to be able.
7:08
Speaker 4: To support themselves. It's aspirational.
7:12
Speaker 2: I just don't understand why you would want to have
7:15
Speaker 2: a policy that discourages that.
7:17
Speaker 1: Because they think they'll win votes from it. Fundamentally, so the.
7:20
Speaker 6: Thinking would be, well, you know, we're going to attack
7:22
Speaker 6: this cohort of people. They're not going to vote for
7:24
Speaker 6: us anyway. They normally vote liberal, so who cares, We're
7:26
Speaker 6: not losing any votes. And maybe some of the younger
7:28
Speaker 6: cohort will support it because they think they're getting kicked
7:31
Speaker 6: out of the housing market because the boomers have investment properties,
7:33
Speaker 6: whereas as I say, the number one cause of low
7:36
Speaker 6: home ownership is mass migration. Cutting immigration is the best
7:40
Speaker 6: youth policy that you can have, but you know you're
7:43
Speaker 6: not going to see that under this government.
7:45
Speaker 2: And the young voters are the ones who are least
7:48
Speaker 2: likely to want a policy like that. And Labor has
7:51
Speaker 2: said plenty about the budget helping younger people and talking
7:55
Speaker 2: about intergenerational inequity. But the biggest losers of this budget
8:00
Speaker 2: it won't be the boomers, will be Generation X. Australian
8:03
Speaker 2: Financial Review political editor Phil Courus says Gen X are
8:07
Speaker 2: being overlooked by the government. He writes, their opportunity to
8:11
Speaker 2: retire is hamstrung because they have to look after their
8:15
Speaker 2: kids who can't afford to get a start, and they're
8:17
Speaker 2: also dealing with aging parents.
8:20
Speaker 4: Dad, Just who are.
8:22
Speaker 2: The winners in this budget? All you can see is
8:24
Speaker 2: losers right now? Who's going to come out on top
8:26
Speaker 2: all these losers? There has to be some winners.
8:29
Speaker 1: Yeah, well we'll wait and see.
8:30
Speaker 6: I mean, no doubt there'll be some income redistribution that
8:34
Speaker 6: will take place. Look, I find this observation quite interesting. Obviously,
8:38
Speaker 6: this is not a new phenomenon to have people mid age,
8:40
Speaker 6: you have old parents and young kids. I mean, you know,
8:43
Speaker 6: this has been going on for decades. But anyway, I
8:45
Speaker 6: think I think that's right that those who are sort
8:47
Speaker 6: of in their forties are often at the peak earning
8:49
Speaker 6: potential of their life, and they're the ones that have
8:52
Speaker 6: the money, and that's they're probably the cohort the government's
8:54
Speaker 6: going to go after now.
8:55
Speaker 2: The RBA handed down a third consecutive interest rate hike
8:59
Speaker 2: this week and it is finally blaming the government for
9:03
Speaker 2: contributing to Australia's renewed inflation crisis. But is the RBA
9:07
Speaker 2: causing more damage and punishing mortgage holders for the sins
9:12
Speaker 2: of the government. Dan I wrote about this in The
9:14
Speaker 2: Herald's Sun today, the RBA essentially punishing the wrong people.
9:19
Speaker 2: Inflation right now isn't being driven by reckless splurging by households.
9:25
Speaker 4: So what's raising.
9:27
Speaker 2: Interest rates really going to do to curb inflation when
9:30
Speaker 2: it is government overspending its fuel prices adding to the
9:35
Speaker 2: cost of everything. Are we at risk of plunging the
9:40
Speaker 2: country into recession even by just having this blunt instrument
9:45
Speaker 2: used against mortgage holders every few months.
9:47
Speaker 1: Well, the fold is with the government, not with the RBA.
9:50
Speaker 6: The government, the RBA has one lever it can pull,
9:53
Speaker 6: and that is the cash rate, and that is the
9:55
Speaker 6: lever that it has been given now since its independence
9:58
Speaker 6: a number of years ago. So I think the RBA
10:01
Speaker 6: is doing what it should be doing, given its mandate
10:03
Speaker 6: and given the tools that it has. You're quite right
10:05
Speaker 6: to point out that it's unfair that mortgage holders are
10:08
Speaker 6: paying the price for the government's inability to manage money.
10:11
Speaker 6: So the fault here is with the government. I think
10:13
Speaker 6: the RBA has made it clear that the spending is
10:15
Speaker 6: one of the key drivers.
10:16
Speaker 1: Behind the inflation that we have.
10:18
Speaker 6: I don't think they're reacting to the Iran War, because
10:20
Speaker 6: they would see that as sort of a transient factor.
10:22
Speaker 6: The structural thing driving this is systematic overspending by government
10:26
Speaker 6: in the context of an economy that is going backwards. Now,
10:29
Speaker 6: our productivity growth, which is our ability to generate wealth,
10:33
Speaker 6: is negative. So at the same time as their turbocharging spending,
10:36
Speaker 6: our ability to pay for it's going down. So that's
10:38
Speaker 6: why we've got inflation.
10:40
Speaker 2: I just think we are going to send a segment
10:44
Speaker 2: of households into such financial stress that they're going to
10:48
Speaker 2: have to sell their properties. And I just wonder whether
10:51
Speaker 2: this blunt instrument is really when you look at all
10:56
Speaker 2: the factors should be used in this manner. I don't
10:58
Speaker 2: want to be agreeing with the treasurer too often. I
11:01
Speaker 2: do think it's just hammering the economy and hurting people
11:05
Speaker 2: who are already really struggling under cost of living pressures.
11:09
Speaker 4: But let's talk about unusual story.
11:12
Speaker 2: This caught my attention today the ABC reporting in one
11:16
Speaker 2: of the very first cases seen in this country, a
11:19
Speaker 2: man has been sentenced for knowingly exposing a lover to
11:23
Speaker 2: a sexually transmitted infection. Daniel Marriott, who has genital herpes,
11:28
Speaker 2: admitted to recklessly inflicting grievous bodily harm after you had
11:32
Speaker 2: unprotected sex with the victim in twenty twenty three. The victim,
11:36
Speaker 2: who was later diagnosed with genital herpes, told him she
11:40
Speaker 2: felt disgusted and betrayed, and said he had changed her
11:45
Speaker 2: life forever. Dan Marriott was sentenced to more than one
11:49
Speaker 2: year in jail, which will be served in the community.
11:52
Speaker 2: This is an intriguing case. Indeed, I couldn't wait to
11:56
Speaker 2: bring it to your attention.
11:57
Speaker 1: Yeah, thanks for this topic. Yeah, I mean thank the ABC.
12:01
Speaker 6: Yes, well, I mean obviously this should be punished. I mean,
12:04
Speaker 6: I just think it's unconscionably negligent at best and malicious
12:09
Speaker 6: at worst. I think it's quite right that this is unlawful.
12:13
Speaker 6: Maybe the penalty should be higher, but I think it's
12:15
Speaker 6: right that he's been punished. I mean, this is behavior
12:18
Speaker 6: that just can't be accepted.
12:19
Speaker 2: And the precedent it sets is quite interesting because you
12:24
Speaker 2: wonder how many other cases like this can be brought
12:26
Speaker 2: forward now now that we have a penalty and a
12:30
Speaker 2: judgment made in this area. The Victorian government has been
12:33
Speaker 2: forced to overturn a decision this week to band screenings
12:37
Speaker 2: of the World Carpet Federation Square. Melbourne Arts Precinct made
12:41
Speaker 2: the call due to the poor behavior from viewers in
12:44
Speaker 2: previous years, but Jacinta Allen has overturned that decision, saying
12:49
Speaker 2: there's always the risk of bad behavior from a few
12:52
Speaker 2: dickheads at every public gathering, but police and security will
12:56
Speaker 2: be on site and there'll be zero tolerance for a dad.
13:00
Speaker 2: I've got to say I agree with the Premier here.
13:02
Speaker 2: This is a big deal. Tens of thousands of fans
13:06
Speaker 2: show up some nights and it's one of the very
13:07
Speaker 2: few times where FED Square is actually being used and
13:11
Speaker 2: it's not just an ugly ey saw in the middle
13:13
Speaker 2: of the city.
13:14
Speaker 1: Yeah. I've got a bit of a different view.
13:16
Speaker 6: I mean, I think that it's a bit rich for
13:18
Speaker 6: Justinto Allen to say that we're going to give police
13:21
Speaker 6: the resources to deal with these people, but we're not
13:23
Speaker 6: going to deal with the five bombings of hospitality venues.
13:26
Speaker 1: So that's I just.
13:27
Speaker 6: Think, you know, the problem is that everybody you know
13:31
Speaker 6: tends to pay for the bad actions of a few people.
13:33
Speaker 6: But why is just inter Allen focusing on this rather
13:36
Speaker 6: than focusing on the endemic crime problem in the state.
13:39
Speaker 1: I just don't think it has any credibility.
13:41
Speaker 2: Well, you can be right about one thing and be
13:45
Speaker 2: wrong on others. I mean, I would prefer to overturn
13:48
Speaker 2: this decision than not to because we said before, Without
13:52
Speaker 2: the hospitality sector in this city, what have you got left?
13:56
Speaker 4: And I guess you could say the same about sport.
13:58
Speaker 2: If you haven't got people joining sport in this city,
14:02
Speaker 2: well really, what's left?
14:03
Speaker 1: Yeah that's true.
14:05
Speaker 6: But I think that it's going to be interest to
14:07
Speaker 6: see what happens, right, I think the behavior will get
14:08
Speaker 6: out of control. I don't think the police will be
14:10
Speaker 6: out of control it properly, and I think it'll be
14:13
Speaker 6: just cintro Allen's responsibility.
14:15
Speaker 2: Well that will be interesting if there is a serious incident.
14:19
Speaker 2: She will wear responsibility. She's the one who overturned this decision.
14:23
Speaker 2: Dan Wild, thank you.
14:24
Speaker 4: So much for your time.
14:24
Speaker 1: Thank you.
14:25
Speaker 2: Left Us writer Jane Carroll is again taken aim at
14:28
Speaker 2: private schools, claiming children in Australia are being segregated through
14:33
Speaker 2: the education system and a piece for the Nine Papers,
14:36
Speaker 2: Cara wrote, we have given sometimes extravagantly overfunded private schools
14:42
Speaker 2: or the rights, including the right to isolate themselves from
14:45
Speaker 2: the toughest end of education. And this I have asked
14:49
Speaker 2: defenders of the public funding of private schools why they
14:53
Speaker 2: support our current system. Rarely do they claim anything that
14:57
Speaker 2: adds to the public good have a cite improvements in
15:01
Speaker 2: either excellence or equity equity goodness me joining me now
15:07
Speaker 2: is the CEO of Christian Schools Australia, doctor Daniel Pampook.
15:12
Speaker 2: Daniel is Jane Carra Wright. Should we slash public funding
15:16
Speaker 2: to private schools?
15:20
Speaker 7: Oh?
15:20
Speaker 8: Look, I think the assertions made by Jane a pretty
15:23
Speaker 8: much old fashioned and out of touch. To be honest
15:25
Speaker 8: with you, Rita. You know, the schools that we educate
15:30
Speaker 8: have students who come from all walks of life. We
15:32
Speaker 8: have Indigenous schools, we have schools with kids with disabilities,
15:36
Speaker 8: we have schools that don't charge any fees at all.
15:39
Speaker 8: So Jane likes to just kind of cherry pick the
15:41
Speaker 8: schools that are the elite schools that are on Sydney
15:44
Speaker 8: Harbor use as as her straw man and then shoot
15:46
Speaker 8: them down and then try to make up that this
15:48
Speaker 8: is the whole landscape for independent schooling in Australia and
15:51
Speaker 8: it's just not the case.
15:54
Speaker 2: Well, even with those schools, the most privileged ones, they're
15:58
Speaker 2: taking pressure off the public system. Give my audience an
16:02
Speaker 2: idea about how much public money goes to a privately
16:07
Speaker 2: educated child compared to one that's in the public system.
16:12
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a great question.
16:13
Speaker 8: And so children who go to an independent school or
16:16
Speaker 8: a non government school, every one of those children is
16:18
Speaker 8: means tested. So if they come from a family that
16:21
Speaker 8: has wealth or has has capability, the funding drops quite
16:24
Speaker 8: significantly for those children. So to give an idea, if
16:29
Speaker 8: those children were to go from a non government school
16:32
Speaker 8: back into the public system, that would be about a
16:34
Speaker 8: twelve billion dollar burden put back onto the public system.
16:37
Speaker 8: That might be about ten thousand dollars in ten billion
16:40
Speaker 8: dollars in recurrent funding, and would be another two and
16:42
Speaker 8: a half billion dollars in capital funding that would have
16:45
Speaker 8: to be found somewhere by the public system.
16:49
Speaker 2: Again, I just don't understand people who've got such a
16:52
Speaker 2: be in their bonnet about private schools, how they do it,
16:55
Speaker 2: understand basic economics and how this is actually going to
16:58
Speaker 2: be costing the tax pay more if we've got these
17:01
Speaker 2: kids going into the public funded schools.
17:05
Speaker 4: Now.
17:05
Speaker 2: Jane Carrow went so far as to compare this debate
17:09
Speaker 2: to the American gun problem.
17:12
Speaker 4: Again.
17:12
Speaker 2: She wrote here, I think Australia is as blind to
17:15
Speaker 2: the damage we are doing to our nation via the
17:18
Speaker 2: social segregation of our schools as America is to the
17:22
Speaker 2: horrific toll its refusal to implement sensible gun control takes
17:27
Speaker 2: on its society.
17:29
Speaker 4: Daniel, what's your response.
17:31
Speaker 2: To the claim that private schools are doing great harm.
17:35
Speaker 4: To this nation.
17:38
Speaker 8: Yeah, it's a really disappointing comment, and we just see
17:40
Speaker 8: this as a bit of an ideological warfare taking place.
17:45
Speaker 8: We conducted a review of our schools which was the
17:48
Speaker 8: Carliss Education Survey, and it looked at all education sectors
17:52
Speaker 8: in terms of their contribution to the common good. And
17:55
Speaker 8: what we found was that all sectors contribute in some way,
17:58
Speaker 8: and that includes the non gun them and independent sectors
18:01
Speaker 8: where children in the schools like the ones we run,
18:04
Speaker 8: which are low fee schools, students are more likely to
18:07
Speaker 8: contribute to society. They're more likely to volunteer, they're more
18:11
Speaker 8: likely to give to charities. They're more likely to participate
18:14
Speaker 8: in political or action groups than to see about change.
18:17
Speaker 8: They're more likely to actually reach across different divides, whether
18:20
Speaker 8: that be race, religion, or even in terms of just
18:23
Speaker 8: income levels to be of impact. And so to say
18:26
Speaker 8: that this is a segregation problem or is it an
18:29
Speaker 8: extreme isn't it at play here? It's simply not the
18:32
Speaker 8: truth and it just shows that Jane has not been
18:34
Speaker 8: in the school. She's talking from afar, She's talking from
18:37
Speaker 8: a dated perspective and really from an ideological one, which
18:41
Speaker 8: is really really sad.
18:43
Speaker 2: Now we are seeing parents save and sacrifice to put
18:47
Speaker 2: their child in a independent school or private school, and
18:51
Speaker 2: it's not always about higher academic standards. It's also about values.
18:56
Speaker 2: There's a lot of talk about the relentless dumbing down
18:59
Speaker 2: of the curriculum with leftist activist content. How much of
19:04
Speaker 2: a factory is that because I hear that a lot
19:06
Speaker 2: from parents that they want their children to be educated,
19:11
Speaker 2: they don't want them to be indoctrinated.
19:15
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a great question.
19:18
Speaker 8: We did a study of fifteen thousand parents to ask
19:21
Speaker 8: them why they were choosing to go to an independent
19:23
Speaker 8: school and one that's a value based option like ours.
19:27
Speaker 8: And it really was, first and foremost, they wanted values
19:30
Speaker 8: that matched mum and dad values at home. One that
19:33
Speaker 8: they thought was just genuine common sense attitudes to issues.
19:37
Speaker 8: One that was, you know, the traditional values that we've
19:40
Speaker 8: grown up with, that we've appreciated, and they're seeing that
19:42
Speaker 8: lost often in a number of government schools where even
19:45
Speaker 8: if you look at curriculum, curriculum documents and the requests
19:48
Speaker 8: that are coming from bureaucrats increasingly have more and more
19:52
Speaker 8: prescription around ideological or add ons in terms of the curriculum.
19:56
Speaker 8: And parents have had enough, so they're voting with their
19:58
Speaker 8: feet and they're voting on mass. As you mentioned, it
20:00
Speaker 8: is sacrificial. So mom and dad are both working, they're
20:03
Speaker 8: giving up holidays, they're giving up other opportunities, cars, whatever
20:06
Speaker 8: it is to ensure their children have an education that
20:10
Speaker 8: grows them holistically, that's based on really good values that
20:13
Speaker 8: match what they have at home.
20:16
Speaker 2: Absolutely, and I know so many ethnic parents who are
20:20
Speaker 2: new to the country absolutely work crazy hours to be
20:24
Speaker 2: able to afford to send their child to a private
20:26
Speaker 2: school because they value education so much. Doctor Daniel Panpook,
20:30
Speaker 2: thank you so much for.
20:31
Speaker 8: Your time, my pleasure.
20:34
Speaker 4: Thank you for having me still to come.
20:36
Speaker 2: Left is Losing at plass All the latest from the US,
20:39
Speaker 2: including violent clashes between mobs of anti Israeli protesters and
20:45
Speaker 2: police outside of New York City synagogue.
20:48
Speaker 4: Mi Horowitz is up next.
20:58
Speaker 2: You're watching The Reader Patty Show, and it's time for
21:01
Speaker 2: lefties losing it. Let's start with actress and wellness guru
21:05
Speaker 2: Gwyneth Paltrow, a woman worth around two hundred million dollars,
21:10
Speaker 2: a woman who sells candles smelling like her Whoho for
21:15
Speaker 2: seventy five dollars a pop. Here she is decrying rich
21:20
Speaker 2: white men.
21:21
Speaker 3: How do you think we got to this place in
21:22
Speaker 3: culture where sort of nothing matters, and now all that
21:26
Speaker 3: matters is these kind of super rich white dudes who
21:30
Speaker 3: are breaking rules, setting rules, you know, seemingly like not
21:36
Speaker 3: caring so much about the downstream impact on everything.
21:38
Speaker 5: Mental health culture.
21:40
Speaker 2: Time to turn up the crazy and the dementedness. We
21:44
Speaker 2: are bringing you the worst of the worst.
21:46
Speaker 4: Now, Yes, here is the vile hate field liar Jennifer.
21:50
Speaker 9: Welch, the biggest thing that God is here is the
21:52
Speaker 9: Republican parties lies that they love America when every time
21:57
Speaker 9: in my lifetime I was born in nineteen seventy four,
22:00
Speaker 9: every Republican president of my life lifetime has wrecked the economy,
22:05
Speaker 9: taken us into war, added to the national deficit, and
22:10
Speaker 9: resided over a recession every single time.
22:13
Speaker 4: She really is such an awful, awful human being.
22:17
Speaker 2: Let's not forget last week she was mocking Erica Kirk,
22:20
Speaker 2: dressing like her and launching into this demented diatribe.
22:25
Speaker 10: I want to be crazy for America. I want to
22:27
Speaker 10: wake up this morning for her America's pronouns. She her,
22:31
Speaker 10: all right, that's all we have. It's in Erica. The
22:34
Speaker 10: person that I'm talking about today fascist is you. You.
22:39
Speaker 10: You were the racist fascist about whom I am talking to.
22:42
Speaker 10: The work that your husband's company and that you were
22:45
Speaker 10: doing to America's youth to make them racist, narrow minded,
22:49
Speaker 10: hateful and crazy is an absolute disgrace. And thank you
22:54
Speaker 10: for the outfit hashtag inspo.
22:56
Speaker 2: That woman is in desperate need of a mirror is
22:59
Speaker 2: and she every thing she says there is projection to
23:02
Speaker 2: California now and the woman who wants to be the
23:05
Speaker 2: next governor Democrat Katie Porter, who has put out an
23:08
Speaker 2: ad mocking her viral moment when she yelled at a
23:12
Speaker 2: staff member to get out of her shot. Let's look
23:14
Speaker 2: at the cringe ad and the real incident.
23:17
Speaker 4: I know which one I prefer. Give Californians what they need.
23:20
Speaker 4: It's going to take standing up to.
23:22
Speaker 5: Donald Trump calling out pretty corporations and stepping on some
23:26
Speaker 5: toes along the way. Now, could you guys please get
23:29
Speaker 5: out of my shot and the.
23:31
Speaker 4: State could lose.
23:34
Speaker 1: You're out of the shot, Okay, it doesn't okay, you
23:39
Speaker 1: also were in my shot before that.
23:42
Speaker 4: Stay out of my shot, oh mine?
23:45
Speaker 2: And next you'll do it to ad pouring hot mashed
23:48
Speaker 2: potatoes on the head of a constituent.
23:50
Speaker 4: Wait a minute, she already did that to her ex husband.
23:53
Speaker 2: Let's hear from a city councilwoman now from Seattle.
23:57
Speaker 4: Isabelle Matta describes herself as a we.
24:00
Speaker 2: Are neurodivergent, bisexual writer advocate, and mindfulness meditation teacher.
24:07
Speaker 4: Of course she does.
24:08
Speaker 2: Here is the lefty losing it at a council meeting,
24:13
Speaker 2: and she uses this council meeting to disparage the US flag.
24:17
Speaker 11: For me A Pride flag is way more reliable than
24:21
Speaker 11: an American flag. I would not raise an American flag
24:24
Speaker 11: at my house because I just I wouldn't.
24:27
Speaker 10: I wasn't even born here.
24:28
Speaker 1: But I would raise a ply. I would raise a
24:29
Speaker 1: Pride flag.
24:30
Speaker 11: And as the most diverse city in Oslomuch County, I
24:34
Speaker 11: don't think that I'm the only one here.
24:36
Speaker 2: Is a another woman who hates America and probably should
24:40
Speaker 2: live somewhere else, though this one would not be flying
24:43
Speaker 2: the trans flag. Oh no, this is the Council on
24:47
Speaker 2: American Islamic Relations.
24:49
Speaker 4: Zara Bilu telling.
24:50
Speaker 2: Her followers not to be too vocal about their hatred
24:54
Speaker 2: of Zionists and Jews in public.
24:57
Speaker 4: Don't go putting it on your LinkedIn now, immerge.
25:00
Speaker 12: In your LinkedIn profile says I hate ozienis Replease heat
25:05
Speaker 12: with whatever inappropriates? Like you know something I can't see here?
25:10
Speaker 12: Not strategic right, like not strategic?
25:14
Speaker 1: Now you miss it that.
25:14
Speaker 12: You may see that sitting around my house on a
25:16
Speaker 12: Friday eight, but you're not gonna see.
25:19
Speaker 4: It on your LinkedIn.
25:19
Speaker 12: And so to think so one, we have to do
25:23
Speaker 12: the basics. We have to remember that Allah protects us,
25:27
Speaker 12: and then strategic versus recklessly.
25:30
Speaker 4: I notice she.
25:31
Speaker 2: Doesn't tell them not to hate, she doesn't tell them
25:34
Speaker 2: not to be awful. Biggest, just hide it from the
25:38
Speaker 2: public so your prospects aren't damaged. Just a reminder her
25:43
Speaker 2: group was awarded forty million dollars by Democrat Gavin Newsome.
25:48
Speaker 2: Now to this, and this is brilliant. This is my
25:51
Speaker 2: favorite bits of lefties losing it all week. It's a
25:53
Speaker 2: wonderful case of faffof around and find out with Zorn.
25:57
Speaker 2: Ma'm danny who thought hitsha CITADELC billionaire Kenneth Griffin.
26:03
Speaker 13: Hey, we're taxing here. I'm thrilled to announce We've secured
26:06
Speaker 13: a Peeda tear tax, the first in New York's history.
26:09
Speaker 13: This is an annual fee on luxury property is worth
26:11
Speaker 13: more than five million dollars whose owners do not live
26:14
Speaker 13: full time in the city, like for this penthouse, which
26:18
Speaker 13: Hedge one CEO Ken Griffin bought for two hundred and
26:20
Speaker 13: thirty eight million.
26:21
Speaker 2: Yeah, Kenneth Griffin didn't like that too much. He didn't
26:24
Speaker 2: like being doxed. And this is his response.
26:28
Speaker 9: How did you feel about the mayor's little video?
26:35
Speaker 1: It was creepy and weird.
26:37
Speaker 14: My Donnie's making it really clear New York doesn't welcome success.
26:41
Speaker 2: And Zoren Mamdannie has cost his city hundreds of millions,
26:46
Speaker 2: perhaps billions, due to that video.
26:49
Speaker 14: That leaves us with the fact that we went to
26:52
Speaker 14: Miami and revised our building, planned to make it a
26:54
Speaker 14: bigger office building. You're bailing and now and now, what
27:00
Speaker 14: the Mayor of New York has made clear to my
27:02
Speaker 14: partners and principally my New York partners, my New York partners,
27:06
Speaker 14: is that we need to double down on our bet
27:08
Speaker 14: in Miami because we want to be in a state
27:11
Speaker 14: that embraces that embraces business, that embraces education, that embraces
27:19
Speaker 14: personal freedom and liberty, and that embraces people having an
27:23
Speaker 14: opportunity to live the American dream.
27:26
Speaker 4: But ma'am, Donna's many own goals havn't stopped the Democrat
27:30
Speaker 4: doins from praising him, including Barack Obama.
27:34
Speaker 7: You look at somebody like Mondamy, who I think is
27:38
Speaker 7: an extraordinary talent. He wants people to be able to
27:41
Speaker 7: afford housing in New York. Well, you know, I would
27:46
Speaker 7: assume liberals in New York want the same thing.
27:50
Speaker 2: Yep, Barack Obama praising a communist. And here is Barack
27:55
Speaker 2: really leaning into the gas lighting and projection, claiming he
27:59
Speaker 2: wants to see a Republican party that embraces conservatism and
28:04
Speaker 2: the rule of law.
28:05
Speaker 7: I'm worried about the Republican Party, not just the Democratic Party.
28:10
Speaker 7: When I was president, people would ask me, what change
28:13
Speaker 7: would you like to see in Washington. I'd say, I'd
28:17
Speaker 7: love a loyal opposition. I'd love a Republican party that
28:22
Speaker 7: was conservative in some ways, that didn't agree with me
28:27
Speaker 7: on a whole bunch of stuff, but I believed in
28:31
Speaker 7: rule of law and judicial independence and empirical empirical evidence
28:38
Speaker 7: and science.
28:39
Speaker 2: Now President Trump has had incredible success overnight in ridding
28:43
Speaker 2: the GOP of the rhinos in Indiana. The Rhinos the
28:46
Speaker 2: Republican in name only reps.
28:49
Speaker 4: Here is NBC.
28:50
Speaker 15: Brian Schmuzler, a challenger backed by President Donald Trump, has
28:55
Speaker 15: defeated incumbent state Senator Linda Rogers. Rogers one of the
28:59
Speaker 15: Republican state senators who voted against the Trump backed plan
29:03
Speaker 15: to redraw the state's congressional district. That is the fourth
29:07
Speaker 15: pink splots you see on the map right here. That
29:10
Speaker 15: means that's the color we assigned to the pro Trump
29:13
Speaker 15: side tonight. That is, four incumbent members of the Indiana
29:18
Speaker 15: State Senate incumbent Republican members, including a member of the
29:22
Speaker 15: Republican leadership, have now been defeated. And all of these
29:27
Speaker 15: four incumbents who have been defeated at per NBC News projection,
29:31
Speaker 15: have been defeated in landslide landslide.
29:34
Speaker 2: Indeed, these Rhinos didn't just lose, they lost by huge margins.
29:39
Speaker 2: The GOP is no longer tolerating quizzlings.
29:43
Speaker 4: Let's go back to Nbasa and count the numbers.
29:47
Speaker 15: We are projecting that Trevor Davrees, the challenger backed by
29:51
Speaker 15: Donald Trump.
29:52
Speaker 16: Two State Senator Dan Durnell, has won the primary in
29:58
Speaker 16: Indiana's first state Senate district. Durnell, one of the Republican
30:03
Speaker 16: incumbent state senators who voted against you didn't vote for
30:06
Speaker 16: He voted against the redistricting plan, the Trump champion redistricting plan,
30:12
Speaker 16: ran a foul of the president and now has lost
30:15
Speaker 16: his seat because of it. That is one, two, three, four,
30:19
Speaker 16: five now defeated state Senate Republicans in Indiana in their primaries.
30:25
Speaker 2: Let's bring in documentary filmmaker and commentator Army, Horowitz Army.
30:29
Speaker 2: This sends a clear message to Republicans across the country.
30:35
Speaker 5: It sure does. Iran is Schmann think this party is
30:40
Speaker 5: not in control by President Donald Trump. I give you
30:43
Speaker 5: exhibit A. Five months ago, the President pushed hard, immense
30:50
Speaker 5: pressure on Indiana State senators to vote for a redistricting
30:55
Speaker 5: plan which would give Indiana two more Republican seats. The
31:00
Speaker 5: voted down what he wanted. Fast forward to Tuesday, and
31:04
Speaker 5: eight of those state senators were up for reelection. Well,
31:08
Speaker 5: starting back in February, Trump and his operators began planning
31:12
Speaker 5: had to dethrone these guys. They raised eight million dollars
31:15
Speaker 5: and they endorsed a whole slate of other candidates. Well,
31:19
Speaker 5: guess what happened. Five of those eight lost outright, one
31:24
Speaker 5: just barely survived, and the other one we still know.
31:27
Speaker 5: So maybe six out of you know, seven out of eight. Yeah,
31:31
Speaker 5: this is a big loss for people who want to
31:34
Speaker 5: stand up against the Trump agenda.
31:38
Speaker 2: Now, I want to play you as some footage from
31:40
Speaker 2: New York City of just how ugly and hostile the
31:44
Speaker 2: climate has become full the Jewish community. Look at how
31:48
Speaker 2: this couple are traded outside the pac synagogue shave.
31:54
Speaker 17: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yo yo man, you hate Jogey shame
32:07
Speaker 17: on yo ya yo.
32:12
Speaker 18: Yet honey, you just a couple of New Yorkers being
32:18
Speaker 18: accused of raping children and being told to be ashamed
32:22
Speaker 18: of themselves.
32:23
Speaker 2: What are they supposed to be ashamed of? Army being Jewish?
32:28
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's that's thick considering what the the the murder
32:34
Speaker 5: and rape Israel went through on October seventh. Yeah, what
32:38
Speaker 5: you see here and what happened with the riot that happened,
32:42
Speaker 5: uh the other night in New York City from passing activists. Yeah,
32:46
Speaker 5: these people are all heroes of the Democratic Party. They
32:50
Speaker 5: are heroes of the Tucker Carlson Isolation's Right Party. Uh,
32:55
Speaker 5: this is what it's become. You know, you know I
32:59
Speaker 5: live in New York, right, I do most of these
33:01
Speaker 5: shows from my apartment in Manhattan, And you know there's
33:04
Speaker 5: the images right there, those attacks and Yeah, in twenty
33:07
Speaker 5: twenty six, it's Mamdani Land. Fifty five percent of all
33:13
Speaker 5: hate crimes in New York are against Jews out of
33:17
Speaker 5: a city that has less than ten percent of the
33:20
Speaker 5: population that are Jews. This is what we voted in.
33:23
Speaker 5: This is mamdani Land, as we see it. This is
33:26
Speaker 5: not the bug, this is in fact the plan, you know,
33:29
Speaker 5: and to get kind of a to step back and
33:31
Speaker 5: move away from the kind of the anti Semitic Jewish
33:33
Speaker 5: issue and talk about the violence that we see again
33:37
Speaker 5: from the left and they're Palestinian allies. As it goes
33:40
Speaker 5: back to what we've said with Trump and before all
33:43
Speaker 5: this violence is coming from the left and this is
33:45
Speaker 5: exactly what they're looking for. They're they're not condemning this,
33:49
Speaker 5: they're not saying this kind of behavior is wrong. You know,
33:52
Speaker 5: this all became a permissive attitude that we've allowed in
33:56
Speaker 5: this country. For putting your hands on police officers in
33:59
Speaker 5: that riot, you're showing your police officers have to go
34:02
Speaker 5: to the hospital. Okay, what world do we live in
34:04
Speaker 5: where you're allowed to do that? Well, it began with
34:06
Speaker 5: a big LM. When you're allowed to jump on top
34:08
Speaker 5: police cars and throw fire bombs into police districts and
34:12
Speaker 5: federal buildings and no harm coming to you. This is
34:15
Speaker 5: where it comes from.
34:15
Speaker 7: You know.
34:16
Speaker 5: I know when black people say they have the talk.
34:17
Speaker 5: I don't if you know what that is, Rita. But
34:19
Speaker 5: black people say we have we have to have the
34:20
Speaker 5: talk with our kids about cops. You know, we all
34:23
Speaker 5: have that talk. My mother taught me, don't put your
34:25
Speaker 5: hands on a cop or you're gonna get your face
34:28
Speaker 5: caved in. Okay, where is the billy club culture? Where
34:31
Speaker 5: are those batons? Because you're jumping on top of a
34:35
Speaker 5: police car, that's what you're gonna get, and that's what
34:38
Speaker 5: you should get. Yeah, talk about police violence. When you're
34:41
Speaker 5: attacking police officers and putting them in the hospital, you
34:44
Speaker 5: should be seeing that kind of police brutality, that kind
34:48
Speaker 5: of police violence. That's what you need to keep law
34:52
Speaker 5: and order. And this whole idea is, by the way,
34:55
Speaker 5: New York City is a is a minority is a
34:59
Speaker 5: is a minority majority police force. And when you see
35:02
Speaker 5: them talking about the N word and the calm, the KKK, yeah,
35:06
Speaker 5: you know what all that is. That's what they're saying
35:08
Speaker 5: to black officers. Okay, they're saying, black officer are the
35:12
Speaker 5: N word. I've heard it. I've been there, black officer
35:15
Speaker 5: A uncle Tom. It's unbelievable the racism that they have
35:19
Speaker 5: to face.
35:21
Speaker 2: But you can understand why police are reluctant to crack
35:24
Speaker 2: down on this sort of violence, these attacks against them,
35:29
Speaker 2: because we've seen what has happened when police have tried
35:34
Speaker 2: to enforce the law. They have been charged in some cases.
35:38
Speaker 2: So it seems to be again this climate of fear
35:41
Speaker 2: even amongst the NYPD, where they think, if we enforce
35:45
Speaker 2: the law to the full extent of the law, we
35:48
Speaker 2: could be the ones facing charges and losing our livelihood
35:52
Speaker 2: or perhaps worse.
35:54
Speaker 5: No question about it. They are handcuffed. The people who
35:58
Speaker 5: should be handcuffed are but the police have to have
36:01
Speaker 5: their hands held behind their backs. I spoke to NYPD
36:03
Speaker 5: officers today about what happened with these policy and protests,
36:07
Speaker 5: and they told me we can't do anything about it.
36:10
Speaker 5: That is the mandate they have gotten from above. This
36:14
Speaker 5: is what their famous permissive attitude is. Not because the
36:17
Speaker 5: police officers, no, no, no, don't mistake what I'm saying.
36:19
Speaker 5: This is purely and completely because of the government and
36:23
Speaker 5: city officials telling the police force, let this go on,
36:27
Speaker 5: let this happen.
36:29
Speaker 2: Well, we've got a little bit of footage from outside
36:32
Speaker 2: the synagogue, and you're right, the NYPD were being attacked.
36:36
Speaker 2: There were chants of Israels should not exist, and the
36:40
Speaker 2: police were being likened to the KKK.
37:00
Speaker 4: Army. I played a.
37:01
Speaker 2: Clip of the Citadel CEO Ken Griffin hitting back at
37:06
Speaker 2: New York City, Mazarre and man Donnie. His company has
37:09
Speaker 2: started shifting investment to Miami in a very big ways,
37:15
Speaker 2: a bit of blow to New York. How many other
37:18
Speaker 2: business leaders are doing precisely what Ken Griffin's doing, but
37:23
Speaker 2: just doing it in a far quieter manner.
37:28
Speaker 5: Yeah, no, we're seeing an exodus with what's going on here.
37:33
Speaker 5: And by the way, I'm Ken Griffin, Remember Mom, Donny.
37:37
Speaker 5: He wants all he wants all these guys out. By
37:39
Speaker 5: the way, this is why he docked Griffin, the CEO
37:42
Speaker 5: of Citadel. He docked him in the world of what
37:46
Speaker 5: happened with Brian Thompson. Remember he is letting people know,
37:52
Speaker 5: here's where this guy lives, right, essentially saying, hey.
37:55
Speaker 15: Go after him.
37:56
Speaker 5: Okay, let's not forget that. By the way, his chief spoke,
37:59
Speaker 5: his chief speech writer spoke about the hero that that
38:06
Speaker 5: Mangioni was to the city and flow the idea of
38:09
Speaker 5: Mangioni Avenue. This is his chief speech writer. So yeah,
38:13
Speaker 5: this is what's going on. But to give you a
38:15
Speaker 5: sense of, you know, how democrats work in general, and
38:18
Speaker 5: kind of the losses New York City is going to see.
38:22
Speaker 5: First of all, I want to let you know, so
38:23
Speaker 5: they kept selling this apartment we talked about with with
38:25
Speaker 5: Ken Griffin. You know this, Oh my god, the man
38:27
Speaker 5: spent two hundred and thirty eight million dollars. Yeah, it's
38:31
Speaker 5: a lot of money, no question about it. But he
38:33
Speaker 5: had to pay over ten million dollars in a mansion
38:36
Speaker 5: tax to buy it. Originally, by the way, a mansion tax.
38:40
Speaker 5: A mansion tax is any apartment over a million dollars
38:43
Speaker 5: in New York City. And if you know New York City,
38:45
Speaker 5: that's barely a two bedroom, not exactly a mansion, right,
38:49
Speaker 5: And the man spends over two million dollars a year
38:52
Speaker 5: on that apartment for city taxes. Well, if I were
38:54
Speaker 5: King Griffin, I'd take my money and go elsewhere. Maybe
38:57
Speaker 5: I have a view of the ocean somewhere like the
38:59
Speaker 5: Free State of Florida. And also, you know they talk about, oh,
39:03
Speaker 5: the capital gains loophole for these kind of you know,
39:06
Speaker 5: private equity and venture capital companies. Okay, well matteroman, it's
39:09
Speaker 5: loophole because Citadel and its employees sorry not not the company,
39:14
Speaker 5: but just the principles and the employees. Well, they've spent
39:17
Speaker 5: over two point three billion dollars in taxes over the
39:22
Speaker 5: last five years. Give you a little bit of context.
39:25
Speaker 5: New York City has lost in total last year on
39:28
Speaker 5: fair evasion a billion dollars, so almost two more than
39:32
Speaker 5: double that was brought in by Citadel employees alone. And
39:36
Speaker 5: they're going to spend six billion dollars. I know, you
39:40
Speaker 5: say a billion here, billion there sew, we're talking real money.
39:42
Speaker 5: It's a lot of money. Six billion dollars to refurbish
39:45
Speaker 5: their headquarters on Park Avenue and then add fifteen thousand
39:50
Speaker 5: high paying jobs. Well, yeah, you know what they're gonna do.
39:53
Speaker 5: They're gonna move it down to Wall Street South. The
39:55
Speaker 5: money goes further, a lot further, six billion dollars and
39:59
Speaker 5: Brickle Avenue Miami. And that's what Mamdani and a lot
40:02
Speaker 5: are pushing for. I don't know next time we do this,
40:04
Speaker 5: I you maybe do with my partner of Florida. Probably not,
40:07
Speaker 5: but who knows.
40:10
Speaker 2: I tell you, you go there, you will not look back.
40:14
Speaker 2: I think I'm predicting it's going to happen in the
40:16
Speaker 2: next two years before ma'am Danni's reign is over.
40:20
Speaker 4: Me Horowitz, thank you so much for your time still
40:23
Speaker 4: to come.
40:23
Speaker 2: We'll look at the suicide note allegedly left by Jeffrey Epstein.
40:28
Speaker 4: Louise Roberts is next Welcome back.
40:41
Speaker 2: A US Jardges revealed the suicide note left by Jeffrey
40:44
Speaker 2: Epstein when he allegedly attempted to take his own life
40:47
Speaker 2: inside the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York in July
40:51
Speaker 2: twenty nineteen. Epstein, who was awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges,
40:56
Speaker 2: survived that first attempt, but was found dead in his
41:00
Speaker 2: cell weeks later in August twenty nineteen. His death was
41:04
Speaker 2: ruled a suicide by hanging.
41:07
Speaker 4: The note read.
41:08
Speaker 2: They investigated for months found nothing. It is a treat
41:12
Speaker 2: to be able to choose one's time to say goodbye,
41:15
Speaker 2: Watcher want me to do bust out crying no fun.
41:20
Speaker 4: Not worth it. The note concluded.
41:22
Speaker 2: It has not been verified if Epstein actually wrote the note.
41:26
Speaker 2: Joining me now to discuss this and more is Sky
41:29
Speaker 2: News contributor Louise Roberts.
41:32
Speaker 4: Louise.
41:32
Speaker 2: This note was unsealed after The New York Times published
41:36
Speaker 2: a story with a description of the note and petitioned
41:40
Speaker 2: the court to release the document last week.
41:43
Speaker 19: Well, I think with every new revelation about Jeffrey Epstein,
41:46
Speaker 19: people are still very angry thinking how did he get
41:49
Speaker 19: away with doing what he did? Who knew what? And
41:51
Speaker 19: why has anyone really been held to account on this, because,
41:54
Speaker 19: of course the main culprit himself is dead. And I
41:57
Speaker 19: think that line, particularly if this note is legitimate, as
42:01
Speaker 19: you say, where he says investigated for months and found nothing.
42:05
Speaker 19: There's not a hint of remorse. It's really contemptuous, isn't it.
42:08
Speaker 19: He's very contemptuous towards the investigating authorities, but at the
42:12
Speaker 19: same time says no fun, not worth it. So yeah,
42:16
Speaker 19: it's very interesting that was handed to the New York Times,
42:19
Speaker 19: of course after was unsealed. But I feel there's no
42:22
Speaker 19: closure in a way. I mean, it's just another round
42:24
Speaker 19: of speculation really on who he was and why he
42:26
Speaker 19: did what he did.
42:29
Speaker 4: This is I think this is the problem.
42:31
Speaker 2: There is just so much mystery around everything to do
42:36
Speaker 2: with this character, including how he ever made his money,
42:39
Speaker 2: the influences seemed to wield. Really, I think there needs
42:44
Speaker 2: to be a proper Fulslom investigation into him and even
42:50
Speaker 2: just the people around him, not necessarily those who were
42:53
Speaker 2: going to the island and getting up to disgusting antics.
42:57
Speaker 2: But those whose financial links with him will shed some
43:01
Speaker 2: light on how he operated now. Page six has revealed
43:05
Speaker 2: that Anna Winter's close ties with Queen Camilla, as well
43:09
Speaker 2: as her friendship with David and Victoria Beckham, led to
43:13
Speaker 2: the notable exclusions of Meghan Markel, as well as Brooklyn
43:17
Speaker 2: and Nicola Peltz Beckham from this year's Met Gala event.
43:21
Speaker 4: The exclusion of the Beckham.
43:23
Speaker 2: Couple was quite noticeable because Brooklyn's younger brother, Romeo made
43:28
Speaker 2: his Met debut.
43:29
Speaker 19: Luise, that's right, so he was invited by Birbury Romeo.
43:32
Speaker 19: But look, for all the criticism about Anna Wintour as
43:35
Speaker 19: being impossible to work for and quite icy, she prizes
43:39
Speaker 19: loyalty above everything else, and I think she's in a
43:42
Speaker 19: way to be commended for that because clearly she's very
43:46
Speaker 19: close to the King and Queen Camilla. So therefore Meghan
43:49
Speaker 19: and Harriet non starters and they've never been invited. I
43:52
Speaker 19: was quite surprised when I read that. And you've got
43:54
Speaker 19: a blue blood prince living in California, even he doesn't
43:58
Speaker 19: get an invite to the metgar which I thought was astonishing.
44:02
Speaker 19: And of course you know, Brooklyn and his wife are
44:04
Speaker 19: now a non starter as well after several years of
44:07
Speaker 19: attending the event because of the way they've treated David
44:11
Speaker 19: and Victoria Beckham, and they're found in that sort of
44:13
Speaker 19: very unseemly ugly ugly feud. So Anna has chosen the
44:18
Speaker 19: parents ahead of, you know, the British son and his wife.
44:21
Speaker 19: So I think that's really interesting that the mccalley used
44:24
Speaker 19: to be about fashion and mature and you know, the
44:27
Speaker 19: social standing. Now it's a loyalty test. You know, it's
44:31
Speaker 19: got a bit of a high school cafeteria vibes as
44:34
Speaker 19: well too, like who's in and who's out and Anna
44:37
Speaker 19: wields all power. But I do admire her, you know,
44:40
Speaker 19: steadfast dedication to loyalty. There needs to be more of
44:43
Speaker 19: that in celebrity land. I think it.
44:46
Speaker 2: Must particularly sting for Harry Meghan because let's be honest,
44:51
Speaker 2: it wasn't just a listers this year.
44:53
Speaker 4: There were plenty of B and C listers. There's plenty
44:55
Speaker 4: of people you.
44:56
Speaker 2: Had to I had no idea who they were, so
45:00
Speaker 2: for them to miss a list like that, given how
45:05
Speaker 2: self delighted they are, they would sting. Now, staying with
45:09
Speaker 2: the met Gala, and some of Kim Kardashian's alternate outfits
45:13
Speaker 2: for this year's event have been revealed, and they are
45:16
Speaker 2: even racier than what she ended up wearing. In a
45:19
Speaker 2: post Instagram this week, Kim k shed some behind the
45:23
Speaker 2: scenes photos of some of the outfits that didn't make
45:26
Speaker 2: the final cut, and they didn't leave much to the imagination.
45:31
Speaker 4: Louise, No, they did not.
45:33
Speaker 19: But look, if anyone understands the assignment with the Medgala,
45:36
Speaker 19: it is Kim Kardashian. She knows. It's not just the outfit,
45:38
Speaker 19: it's the sort of subsequent social post, but what she
45:41
Speaker 19: could have worn and what she rejected, etc.
45:43
Speaker 5: But I looked at what she wore.
45:45
Speaker 19: Look, I know it was a sort of historic nineteen
45:47
Speaker 19: sixties sort of pop up sculpture which bizarrely had the
45:50
Speaker 19: same dimensions as her body now, so apparently that's why
45:54
Speaker 19: she was able to wear it. But I look at
45:57
Speaker 19: what she wear and I think, how did she go
45:58
Speaker 19: to the bathroom and how does she even sit down or.
46:00
Speaker 5: How does she even breathe?
46:02
Speaker 19: Most of the time. But that's fashion, isn't it.
46:04
Speaker 2: So that's fashion, and apparently the entire point of the
46:09
Speaker 2: Met Gala is that red carpet. Once they're inside, it's
46:12
Speaker 2: rather boring and they're just waiting to get changed into
46:15
Speaker 2: something more comfortable to enjoy the evening. Now, Justin Baldoni
46:20
Speaker 2: has been spotted publicly for the first time since settling
46:23
Speaker 2: his feud with former co star Blake Lively. Baldoni was
46:27
Speaker 2: all smiles with his wife Emily in Nashville in the
46:30
Speaker 2: Great State of Tennessee, as the couple attended a local
46:34
Speaker 2: eatery Louisa. According to his lawyers, this settlement was actually
46:39
Speaker 2: a massive victory for the actor director.
46:42
Speaker 19: Yes, they've made that argument on the basis that a
46:45
Speaker 19: lot of the claims from Blake and Blake's camp were
46:48
Speaker 19: actually thrown out. But look, there's no winner here apart
46:50
Speaker 19: from the lawyers because apparently there was sixty million dollars.
46:53
Speaker 19: I don't know if it's that the US or Australian
46:55
Speaker 19: in legal fees, and of course nobody can be seen
46:58
Speaker 19: to be the loser. So you've got both of them
47:00
Speaker 19: out there sort of showboating, saying everything's fine, nothing to
47:03
Speaker 19: see here. You've got Blake, of course being invited to
47:05
Speaker 19: sit with Anna at the met Gala, which is a
47:08
Speaker 19: big tick. Of endorsement in her favor, and meanwhile, Justin
47:11
Speaker 19: has moved to Nashville and is sort of, you know,
47:14
Speaker 19: leaving an ordinary life. So we led to believe with
47:16
Speaker 19: his wife. But yeah, I don't think there's any winners,
47:19
Speaker 19: and it's sort of celebrity litigation twenty twenty six style,
47:23
Speaker 19: isn't it. So lots of lawyers, fees, lots of money spent,
47:26
Speaker 19: no one actually gets any money. None of them got
47:28
Speaker 19: any damages or settlement, neither of them. And you know,
47:32
Speaker 19: life carries on and it goes straight back to brand
47:35
Speaker 19: management like everything's fine, there's no issue here.
47:39
Speaker 2: Well, there's been a lot of reputational damage from that
47:43
Speaker 2: before you go, happy story here. Actress Cameron Diaz a
47:47
Speaker 2: Good Charlotte band member Benji Madden, have welcomed their third
47:51
Speaker 2: child with the name of their son, surprising a lot
47:54
Speaker 2: of fans sharing the news to social media.
47:56
Speaker 4: They announced the name of Nautice.
47:59
Speaker 2: Explained, I think that the name means sailor, navigator, voyager,
48:03
Speaker 2: one who embarks on a journey and fear is not
48:06
Speaker 2: the unknown. What's also notable, Louise is Cameron Diaz is
48:10
Speaker 2: fifty three, so she's either a just a mirror miraculous woman,
48:16
Speaker 2: or she perhaps throws some eggs that has a donor egg.
48:21
Speaker 4: I am curious about the exactly how this came about.
48:27
Speaker 19: Yes, I noted her age as well and kind of
48:29
Speaker 19: stopped myself in thoughts. So what's happened there? That's an
48:31
Speaker 19: interesting sort of Naturally, you can speculate that it's a
48:35
Speaker 19: medical intervention situation there, whether it's IVA or surrogud or
48:39
Speaker 19: something like that, because they kept the pregnancy and their
48:41
Speaker 19: rival baby of little boy secret until last minute. But again,
48:46
Speaker 19: they're very keen on privacy, so all power to them.
48:48
Speaker 19: They want to try and give those kids a normal
48:50
Speaker 19: life despite the slightly unusual names.
48:55
Speaker 2: I'm saying, it's a happy story. I'm just curious about
48:58
Speaker 2: how it came about. Roberts, thank you so much for
49:01
Speaker 2: your time, and that's all the time we have.
49:04
Speaker 4: Don't go anywhere Near's night is up next
