Transcript
- 0:02Speaker 1: Starting right now the Rito Panahi Show.
- 0:08Speaker 2: Good evening and welcome to the Rita Panekey Show. I'm
- 0:10Speaker 2: Danikiti Giorgio coming up tonight. Richard Miles admits to flaws
- 0:14Speaker 2: in the wording of the Israel Palestine section of Labour's
- 0:17Speaker 2: new policy My panel will cover that and the day's
- 0:20Speaker 2: other top headlines. Victorian Premier justinto Allen's leadership under dire threat.
- 0:25Speaker 2: James Campbell will have the latest Josh Hammer from the US,
- 0:29Speaker 2: including the Democratic Socialists of America calling for the abolishment
- 0:32Speaker 2: of prisons and borders. And Meghan Markle appears on Marsterscheff Australia.
- 0:37Speaker 2: Kinsey Schofield has the latest Royal and Entertainment used head
- 0:41Speaker 2: of course left He's losing it and a big welcome
- 0:43Speaker 2: to the Transfer Palestine Movement.
- 0:47Speaker 3: Palesan for First.
- 0:55Speaker 2: Deputy Prime Minister Richard Miles has privately admitted the wording
- 0:58Speaker 2: of the Israel Palestine section of Labour's new policy platform
- 1:02Speaker 2: was flawed, despite the PM claiming that they got the
- 1:05Speaker 2: balance right. Demands on Jimmas and the Palestinian Authority were
- 1:09Speaker 2: controversially dropped in the final draft released ahead of Labour's
- 1:13Speaker 2: fiftieth National Conference as part of a raft of changes
- 1:16Speaker 2: that increased criticisms of Israel, with those words endorsed unchanged
- 1:21Speaker 2: by four hundred delegates at the event. Now The Australian
- 1:24Speaker 2: understands that Males warned right faction delegates that pushing for
- 1:28Speaker 2: an amendment risked a debate on the conference floor that
- 1:31Speaker 2: could ultimately lead to harsher criticisms of Israel, and his
- 1:35Speaker 2: recommendations saw pro Israel delegates reluctantly agree to drop an
- 1:39Speaker 2: amendment to call on Jimas to have no role in
- 1:41Speaker 2: a Palestinian state. Jody by now for more on this
- 1:45Speaker 2: news twenty four contributors Louise Roberts and James Bolt. Great
- 1:48Speaker 2: to have you both on the show. Thank you so
- 1:50Speaker 2: much for joining me. James's very clear Labour are so
- 1:53Speaker 2: split on this. You've got the left faction, the right faction,
- 1:55Speaker 2: the right faction of Richard Marless saying one thing. Members
- 1:58Speaker 2: on the left, for example Ed Huses saying another, why
- 2:02Speaker 2: do you think that they can't come to an agreement
- 2:04Speaker 2: on Israel.
- 2:05Speaker 4: It's bizarre and it's like a long lasting thing. And
- 2:07Speaker 4: as you say, like you say, they're split, but clearly
- 2:09Speaker 4: there's a very much more on the anti Israel agenda
- 2:12Speaker 4: because Richard Mars is making these concessions to avoid a
- 2:15Speaker 4: debate in which the you know, the final thing might
- 2:19Speaker 4: be even more anti Israel than what we've seen. What's
- 2:22Speaker 4: bizarre about this to me is that, look, anti Semitism
- 2:25Speaker 4: in Australia is a huge issue, but the exacts like
- 2:27Speaker 4: Israel VI Gaza VI Palestine like that hasn't been as
- 2:30Speaker 4: big an issue because there's not as much war to
- 2:32Speaker 4: talk about. So I just think, like, if I'm a
- 2:34Speaker 4: labor voter and I've got all of these cost of
- 2:37Speaker 4: living worries, and I've got these you know, the rise
- 2:39Speaker 4: of AI worries, I'm watching the labor conference and they've
- 2:42Speaker 4: spent an entire day and they've got all this, you know,
- 2:45Speaker 4: all this emotion, all this handwringing in the national papers
- 2:49Speaker 4: about Israel. I'm thinking, wait, hang on, can you guys
- 2:52Speaker 4: talk about the issues that labor voters want you to
- 2:54Speaker 4: talk about.
- 2:55Speaker 2: Actually, that is a very good point because while this
- 2:58Speaker 2: is obviously an important issue comes to anti Semitism, labor
- 3:01Speaker 2: voters are going, We'll hang on a second. I can't
- 3:02Speaker 2: pay my bills right now, that petrol's about to go
- 3:05Speaker 2: up again. I think that's a really really good point.
- 3:07Speaker 2: But look, anti Semitism is a big problem in this country.
- 3:11Speaker 2: Louise the Prime Minister, notoriously we know about his anti
- 3:14Speaker 2: Israel past. He was a pro Palestinian advocate when he
- 3:16Speaker 2: was at university, but now he's at odds with Richard
- 3:19Speaker 2: Marles on this issue. What do you think is going on?
- 3:22Speaker 3: Yeah, I think James is right.
- 3:24Speaker 5: I mean it seems to be more about keeping the
- 3:26Speaker 5: factions happy rather than actually sending a clear message to
- 3:28Speaker 5: Jewish Australians that we support you, that we are going
- 3:31Speaker 5: to insist that you know, a terrorist organization cannot have
- 3:35Speaker 5: control and form part of government, that we're actually going
- 3:37Speaker 5: to be very clear about our anti Hamas's position. But
- 3:40Speaker 5: this has been completely diluted and I'm really concerned that
- 3:43Speaker 5: Richard Marles knew that wording was wrong but still voted
- 3:46Speaker 5: because it seems that keeping the factions happy and avoiding
- 3:49Speaker 5: some sort of internal blood bath was more important, which
- 3:53Speaker 5: you know is so offensive to many Australians, particularly our
- 3:55Speaker 5: Jewish Australians.
- 3:57Speaker 2: Yeah, keeping the factions happy, just like Labor has put
- 4:00Speaker 2: our values last when it comes to votes over the
- 4:03Speaker 2: last couple of years.
- 4:04Speaker 3: So yeah, the typical of Labor.
- 4:07Speaker 2: Now Anthony Abernezi has refused to answer questions about attending
- 4:10Speaker 2: a ten thousand dollars ahead fundraising dinner hosted by controversial
- 4:15Speaker 2: Sydney businessman Felix Lee.
- 4:17Speaker 3: Here he was on the ABC.
- 4:19Speaker 6: Did you attend a dinner at the home of Felix
- 4:22Speaker 6: Lee in Point Piper.
- 4:23Speaker 3: I attend lots of functions.
- 4:25Speaker 7: I attend lots of functions in lots of places, including
- 4:28Speaker 7: last night right here.
- 4:30Speaker 1: What about a dinner in Point Pipe? I attend lots
- 4:33Speaker 1: of functions.
- 4:34Speaker 6: You want to ask, well, I do.
- 4:36Speaker 7: You've just said that that occurred.
- 4:39Speaker 1: You know that's fine. I attend lots of dinners in
- 4:42Speaker 1: lots of places.
- 4:44Speaker 2: No nothing to see here, nothing to see here at all, James.
- 4:47Speaker 2: What I find just astonishing about all of this is
- 4:50Speaker 2: last week Labor spent the entire week criticizing Pauline Hansen
- 4:54Speaker 2: for being in Italy with Gina Reinhardt, with mining with
- 4:58Speaker 2: the mining magnate. But the Prime Minister just can't seem
- 5:02Speaker 2: to ask to answer questions about this dinner.
- 5:04Speaker 4: Why, Like I mean, we talked about this unopinionated it's
- 5:09Speaker 4: the idea that like all of Labour's attack lines seem
- 5:12Speaker 4: to be completely undone by Labor themselves. Like we've got
- 5:15Speaker 4: this instance in which you know all the attack lines
- 5:17Speaker 4: and Pauline Hanson that she's a puppet of Gina Reinhardt.
- 5:20Speaker 4: As ridiculous as that is, completely gets undermine when you're
- 5:22Speaker 4: having dinners and you don't talk about what's going on.
- 5:25Speaker 4: And then a couple of weeks before this, we had
- 5:28Speaker 4: Anthony Abernezi who says that Pauline Hanson doesn't have the
- 5:30Speaker 4: temperament to be prime minister, doesn't speak Prime minister, eily
- 5:33Speaker 4: joking about the Japanese Prime minister's melts, like they are
- 5:36Speaker 4: just undoing all of their attack lines against one nation,
- 5:39Speaker 4: which they can't afford to do. It's just bizarre.
- 5:41Speaker 3: Yeah, I completely agree.
- 5:43Speaker 2: Why the lack of transparency do you think when it
- 5:45Speaker 2: comes to this particular dinner laid.
- 5:46Speaker 5: Well, the thing is it's a bit unusual because there's
- 5:49Speaker 5: no one is actually saying it was illegal to go
- 5:51Speaker 5: to this dinner. Although the optics are bad, you know,
- 5:53Speaker 5: ten k per plate, basically billionaire mansion point piper not
- 5:57Speaker 5: good when your rank and file labor support are actually
- 6:01Speaker 5: struggling with cost of living, so I.
- 6:03Speaker 3: Mean the optics are poor.
- 6:04Speaker 5: But yeah, it's just this reluctance of primeister has to
- 6:08Speaker 5: explain himself in situations or pretend there's nothing to see here.
- 6:12Speaker 5: The classic falling off the stage at the conference yea,
- 6:14Speaker 5: and the free campaign, well yeah, so we see what
- 6:19Speaker 5: we can see. So why doesn't he acknowledge that? Why
- 6:21Speaker 5: doesn't he say, yes, I went to this dinner and
- 6:23Speaker 5: maybe we talked about things. And of course all parties
- 6:25Speaker 5: have donors, and as you say, he's been going after
- 6:28Speaker 5: one nation for Gena Reinhart's support.
- 6:30Speaker 3: So it's very hypocritical. I think. I agree.
- 6:33Speaker 2: It's not like the Labor Party hasn't had its fair
- 6:35Speaker 2: share of billionaire donors over the years.
- 6:37Speaker 5: That's okay, well, but that's all right, it's their support.
- 6:39Speaker 2: Do as I say, not as I do kind of approach.
- 6:42Speaker 2: I want to talk about the former Quantus boss Alan Joyce. Look,
- 6:46Speaker 2: the guy was woke, as I mean, who can forget
- 6:50Speaker 2: the Voice campaign, the Yes campaign.
- 6:53Speaker 3: You know, he wasn't the best.
- 6:55Speaker 2: CEO, but he's now expressed regret over how he handled
- 6:59Speaker 2: the COVID pandemic. But he also notes that hindsight is
- 7:03Speaker 2: a beautiful thing and quote with the information we had
- 7:06Speaker 2: at the time, I still don't think there was any
- 7:08Speaker 2: other decision you could make. Okay, fine, I would agree that,
- 7:12Speaker 2: you know, hindsight is a wonderful thing, James, But this
- 7:15Speaker 2: is what this guy was an activist through and through,
- 7:18Speaker 2: and I'm not sure he actually brought a lot of
- 7:21Speaker 2: benefits overall to Quantus.
- 7:23Speaker 3: Really, but what do you make of that?
- 7:25Speaker 4: Well, especially the way he left where was Quantus was
- 7:27Speaker 4: really criticized a lot in the media. There's a lot
- 7:29Speaker 4: of soul searching, and it's taken years to recover. And
- 7:32Speaker 4: I just think, if I'm like Senior A. Quantas right
- 7:34Speaker 4: now and I see Alan Joyce doing a big publicity
- 7:37Speaker 4: tour of his new book, I'm thinking, like, please, like
- 7:39Speaker 4: you've done your part, can we please move on from you?
- 7:42Speaker 4: He said, you know that writing this book was a
- 7:45Speaker 4: cathartic experience. To the Sydney Morning Held. Cathartic experience is
- 7:48Speaker 4: keeping a diary, like writing a book is a bit
- 7:50Speaker 4: like I'm still here. Here's my opinions, here's all the
- 7:52Speaker 4: things I wish I could say. But meat, he's not
- 7:54Speaker 4: interviewing me anymore. And I just think have some loyalty
- 7:57Speaker 4: to the brand that you had a big party of
- 8:00Speaker 4: life and paid you a lot of money, and know
- 8:02Speaker 4: when to step away and to step away for good
- 8:04Speaker 4: and give them the clear air to put away the
- 8:07Speaker 4: end of your tenure.
- 8:08Speaker 2: And also I think just walk away after so many
- 8:11Speaker 2: mistakes were made in that COVID era, let the brand
- 8:15Speaker 2: redevelop without him just being like an annoying fly. Really
- 8:20Speaker 2: who just keeps get the ghost It's like the ghosts
- 8:22Speaker 2: just keeps coming back, start afresh.
- 8:24Speaker 3: But I mean, what is he seeking here? Do you
- 8:27Speaker 3: think I.
- 8:28Speaker 5: Think he's got relevant deprivations here? I already do, and
- 8:31Speaker 5: I think he will repeatedly he says in those interviews
- 8:34Speaker 5: that he wants Australians to judge him as the CEO
- 8:36Speaker 5: who stopped Concents from going bankrupt. That's not how people
- 8:40Speaker 5: remember Alan Joyce. They remember the ghost lights, they remember
- 8:43Speaker 5: the absolute anguish of people not being able to.
- 8:45Speaker 3: Meet their families. They remember, you know.
- 8:48Speaker 5: The refund nightmares, the scheduling incidents, everything. That's how people
- 8:52Speaker 5: remember his tenure at Quantus during COVID and after COVID plus.
- 8:56Speaker 5: When remember just after COVID and contests posted those record profits,
- 9:00Speaker 5: which really rubbed the salt in the wound, particularly of
- 9:03Speaker 5: those you know, eighteen and twenty people who got fired.
- 9:06Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly.
- 9:07Speaker 5: High Court judge said that decision was legal, sorry illegal
- 9:10Speaker 5: at the time, and he's still defending it in a
- 9:12Speaker 5: way with the hindsight lens over it.
- 9:14Speaker 3: It's yeah, I.
- 9:15Speaker 2: Think you're right, relevance deprivation syndrome. I think it's time
- 9:18Speaker 2: for Alan Joyce to disappear into the never never and
- 9:21Speaker 2: just let quantas sort itself out without him loitering around.
- 9:25Speaker 8: Now.
- 9:26Speaker 2: I know you too have seen all the Labor Instagram
- 9:28Speaker 2: videos that are doing the rounds. We certainly have, But
- 9:31Speaker 2: federal politicians are actually spending millions of dollars of your
- 9:35Speaker 2: money and countless hours producing these social media videos for
- 9:39Speaker 2: TikTok and Instagram that are being watched for less than
- 9:42Speaker 2: three seconds, stuff like this.
- 9:46Speaker 3: Miss just trying.
- 9:59Speaker 2: Yeah, I know, we're all cringing. We are all cringing now.
- 10:02Speaker 2: In the past six years, Meta, which owns Facebook and Instagram,
- 10:06Speaker 2: said the Labor Party had spent just under six point
- 10:08Speaker 2: five million on posts about social issues, elections or politics.
- 10:12Speaker 2: The Liberal Party spent was just under two point five million.
- 10:15Speaker 2: Every time I see those ads, James, I just cringe.
- 10:18Speaker 2: But you know it's your money that's being spent.
- 10:21Speaker 3: Is it worthwhile?
- 10:23Speaker 4: I love Team in Power, I love the song Jackular,
- 10:26Speaker 4: and now every single time I hear it, I've got
- 10:28Speaker 4: Jeremy lack Sale's beaming face just in my mind's eye.
- 10:31Speaker 4: And I'm a victim of this. But the problem is
- 10:33Speaker 4: it works. Like, look, it's not for you. It's not
- 10:36Speaker 4: for you, it's not for me, it's not for the
- 10:37Speaker 4: people watching it home, but it is for people that
- 10:39Speaker 4: don't really follow politics, that really think about politics once
- 10:42Speaker 4: every three years, and if they see someone they recognize
- 10:45Speaker 4: from their Instagram feed, they're probably more likely to just go, hey,
- 10:48Speaker 4: he seems like a fun person, he likes the same
- 10:49Speaker 4: music I do. Why don't I vote for him? And like,
- 10:53Speaker 4: we are going to be stuck in this until it's
- 10:55Speaker 4: found out that it doesn't work. But unfortunately it does work.
- 10:58Speaker 3: Yeah, and I guess as well.
- 10:59Speaker 2: It probably is there to appeal to a younger voter
- 11:02Speaker 2: as well as jameson the people who are not actively
- 11:05Speaker 2: engaged in politics, you know, like like we are. They're
- 11:08Speaker 2: scrolling on their social media, they see a politician doing
- 11:11Speaker 2: a dance, they maybe go, oh, what is he talking about?
- 11:14Speaker 2: But is it a worthwhile spend?
- 11:16Speaker 5: Well, the question is the money, isn't it. It should
- 11:19Speaker 5: be taxpayer dollars on funding this sort of thing. And
- 11:21Speaker 5: I don't know if it maybe does work in some capacity,
- 11:25Speaker 5: but I think for younger voters who would see these
- 11:26Speaker 5: cringy politicians dancing to music, they'd be swiping, and the
- 11:30Speaker 5: data sort of seems to support that that it's not
- 11:32Speaker 5: wholesale working for the demographic they're going after. They think,
- 11:35Speaker 5: you know, politics make that entertainment. Social media rewards entertainment
- 11:40Speaker 5: and sort of conflated the two. But it's a bit
- 11:43Speaker 5: patronizing to younger it's sort of twenty something people who
- 11:45Speaker 5: actually want to know what the goverment's going to do
- 11:47Speaker 5: for them after saying they go to save the housing
- 11:50Speaker 5: market and let them buy a house, and then now
- 11:52Speaker 5: they're pumping out this social media which doesn't sort of
- 11:54Speaker 5: relate to that.
- 11:55Speaker 2: No, it certainly doesn't link to intergenerational equity.
- 11:58Speaker 3: No, whatever happened to that word, that's sort of disappeared exactly.
- 12:03Speaker 2: Nobody will be dancing to intergenerational equity at any time.
- 12:06Speaker 2: Soon now, a new rapid response police unit, which came
- 12:10Speaker 2: about after the Bondi terror attack, is expected to be
- 12:13Speaker 2: established by November, so this outfit will compromise, will comprise
- 12:17Speaker 2: rather of two hundred and fifty dedicated officers with customer
- 12:20Speaker 2: assault rifles and equipped with specialized BMW SUVs. James, Look,
- 12:26Speaker 2: I think it is a shame that it took a
- 12:29Speaker 2: terror attack like this to finally get some more protection
- 12:33Speaker 2: I guess for the police force.
- 12:36Speaker 3: But is it too little too late?
- 12:38Speaker 4: Well, I mean obviously it is too little too late
- 12:41Speaker 4: for a fair few people on Bondai Beach, which is terrible.
- 12:44Speaker 4: It's also it's not coming into November, and I just think, like,
- 12:47Speaker 4: what was a bureaucracy that needed to pass in order
- 12:49Speaker 4: to I mean, you know, Bonda was a couple of
- 12:51Speaker 4: months ago. Now November is a couple of months away.
- 12:54Speaker 4: Is this a case of it's just so hard for
- 12:56Speaker 4: the police to get through a tactical unit like this
- 12:59Speaker 4: as a issue like why would it take that long
- 13:02Speaker 4: for something like this to be set up? That's the
- 13:04Speaker 4: biggest question I have from this.
- 13:06Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a good point, and look, I think it's
- 13:08Speaker 2: good that they're being equipped with assault rifles because obviously
- 13:11Speaker 2: at Bondi the officers only had the glocks on them
- 13:15Speaker 2: and they were completely outgunned, and that's what the Royal
- 13:18Speaker 2: Commission heard at the time, and I think it was
- 13:21Speaker 2: within a matter of about thirty seconds, eleven people out
- 13:24Speaker 2: of the fifteen that died were shot. So I think
- 13:26Speaker 2: it is good that finally police are getting the armor
- 13:28Speaker 2: that they deserve.
- 13:29Speaker 3: But to that poetum and too little, too late.
- 13:32Speaker 5: Now definitely for the victims of Bondai and their families.
- 13:35Speaker 5: But at least now they're in a better position if
- 13:38Speaker 5: we do have another attack on the Soul God willing
- 13:40Speaker 5: we don't that. At least they've got some capability, and
- 13:42Speaker 5: they should have always had more armed response capability.
- 13:45Speaker 3: In my book, I think the.
- 13:46Speaker 5: Issue now as well as are there enough police officers
- 13:49Speaker 5: if their recruitment is a big issue, and if you've
- 13:51Speaker 5: seen in Victoria how badly the police were treated during
- 13:54Speaker 5: COVID and New South Wales Police, who are a fantastic organization,
- 13:57Speaker 5: they also need support. They need to be bringing you
- 14:00Speaker 5: cruits through the ranks who are actually going to staff
- 14:02Speaker 5: these special units. It's great to have all the infrastructure
- 14:05Speaker 5: and the whizbang cars and the you know, the gun capability,
- 14:09Speaker 5: but we need police to do it. We need people
- 14:11Speaker 5: to want to join the force. I'm not sure that
- 14:13Speaker 5: that's the case anymore.
- 14:14Speaker 2: Well, actually that's a really good point because there is
- 14:16Speaker 2: a recruitment crisis, not just in New South Wales, it's
- 14:18Speaker 2: across the country, but in other areas. You know, paramedics
- 14:22Speaker 2: they need recruits as well. Our specialist teams really need
- 14:25Speaker 2: that help. So without without them, you know, then there's
- 14:27Speaker 2: really no point arming them and equipping them with what
- 14:30Speaker 2: they need. James Bolt, Louise Roberts. Great to have you
- 14:33Speaker 2: both on. Thank you so much for joining me on
- 14:34Speaker 2: the show. Well, just into Allen's leadership is under dire threat,
- 14:40Speaker 2: with the Victorian Premier to face a leadership challenge just
- 14:43Speaker 2: four months out from the November state election. Joining me
- 14:46Speaker 2: now is Herald's Son associate editor James Campbell. James, good
- 14:50Speaker 2: to see. Thank you so much for joining me. Look,
- 14:52Speaker 2: there have been reports of rumblings of a challenge in
- 14:56Speaker 2: the party room for months now, so why now because.
- 15:01Speaker 6: They're running out of time. Basically, it's clear that the
- 15:04Speaker 6: poles are getting worse. Her personal numbers are getting worse,
- 15:08Speaker 6: and with four months to go, this is probably the
- 15:11Speaker 6: last chance they feel that they can do something. They're
- 15:16Speaker 6: convinced that there's no chance of victory under her. In fact,
- 15:20Speaker 6: they're going to be smashed their primary votes in the
- 15:23Speaker 6: kind of mid twenties. So they are doing it because
- 15:27Speaker 6: they feel they have to do it.
- 15:28Speaker 3: I guess, well, I mean we mentioned the polls before.
- 15:31Speaker 2: The polls are just into Allen haven't been good for
- 15:34Speaker 2: a while. Now, with only a couple of months out
- 15:37Speaker 2: until November, how big of a difference would a change.
- 15:40Speaker 3: In leadership make now? Would that actually favor the label
- 15:44Speaker 3: party or people will go, oh, enough is enough, We're
- 15:46Speaker 3: still going to vote for the Libs.
- 15:50Speaker 6: Well, time will tell. I think the view is that
- 15:54Speaker 6: the match up between Allan and Jess Wilson just wasn't
- 15:59Speaker 6: working to Labour's favor. So their view is they need
- 16:02Speaker 6: a contrast so that they want to go with a bloke.
- 16:07Speaker 6: The reality was, you know, and you can say this
- 16:11Speaker 6: again and again and again, if you have an unpopular leader,
- 16:14Speaker 6: people won't listen to you. She's very unpopular. They need
- 16:17Speaker 6: to get lines out that into people's brains that they've
- 16:23Speaker 6: got to terrify people out of voting for One Nation
- 16:26Speaker 6: and the Liberal Party, and to do that they need
- 16:30Speaker 6: a leader that people will listen to. Clear people will
- 16:34Speaker 6: not listen to her. They've made up their mind about
- 16:36Speaker 6: Jacinta all on the premiere and so she has to go.
- 16:40Speaker 6: I think it's the general view amongst the people in
- 16:43Speaker 6: the caucus now and has stubbornness and refusing to cause
- 16:47Speaker 6: call a royal commission over the corruption in the Big
- 16:49Speaker 6: build has just solidified that view.
- 16:53Speaker 2: Well, that's that seems like it was just the final
- 16:56Speaker 2: nail in the coffin, so to speak.
- 16:58Speaker 3: And look, I do want to ask you actually about
- 16:59Speaker 3: One Nation.
- 17:00Speaker 2: But the Deputy Premier Ben Carroll, he has told Justin
- 17:03Speaker 2: to Alan that he will challenge for the Labor leadership.
- 17:07Speaker 2: Tell us about him, what's he about and would he
- 17:11Speaker 2: be the right person to try and turn the party's
- 17:14Speaker 2: bad polling around.
- 17:18Speaker 6: Well, he couldn't do worse, I mean to be honest.
- 17:23Speaker 6: They're coming to the end of twelve years in government. Clearly,
- 17:25Speaker 6: the state's finances are a mess. Crime is very bad,
- 17:30Speaker 6: the unemployment is worse than in other states. You know,
- 17:34Speaker 6: it doesn't really matter who is sitting in the chair
- 17:37Speaker 6: in November, those problems will still be there. Carol is
- 17:42Speaker 6: from the right of the party. He's probably not so
- 17:44Speaker 6: much associated with the disasters of the Big build so
- 17:48Speaker 6: he can afford to call the Royal Commission knowing he's
- 17:50Speaker 6: not going to get caught in it. There's also you know,
- 17:55Speaker 6: he's from the right of the party. He's a reasonably
- 17:57Speaker 6: been a reasonably good education minister. I mean, my kids
- 17:59Speaker 6: are at state schools here. He's got devices out of
- 18:02Speaker 6: the classroom, and he's insisted on phonics, he's phasing out
- 18:06Speaker 6: composite classes and all. You know, there are reasons to
- 18:09Speaker 6: believe that he is one of the sort of labor
- 18:13Speaker 6: person who can from time to time stand up to
- 18:16Speaker 6: the unions, as he has in the Education Union. So
- 18:18Speaker 6: you know, you would hope he would. He would be
- 18:21Speaker 6: better than Jacinta, who's been a prisoner of the building unions.
- 18:27Speaker 6: Is it too late for them? I suspect it is.
- 18:30Speaker 6: But you know they've got to roll the dice. They've
- 18:31Speaker 6: got to try something. It's just because if they don't
- 18:34Speaker 6: try something, they're heading for annihilation in November.
- 18:38Speaker 3: Yeah, a last roll of the dice.
- 18:40Speaker 2: As you said, let's talk about one nation. You know
- 18:44Speaker 2: you mentioned how this is probably escalated because of that
- 18:46Speaker 2: threat from that party. How well is One Nation doing
- 18:51Speaker 2: in Victoria and how genuine of a contender is that party.
- 18:58Speaker 3: I think they're doing well.
- 18:59Speaker 6: I mean, the poll shows that they're going you know,
- 19:02Speaker 6: they've searched to the high teens at low twenties. I
- 19:05Speaker 6: still think that there is a sufficient gap between their
- 19:08Speaker 6: primary vote and the Liberal Party's primary vote that One
- 19:11Speaker 6: Nation around the place will end up electing Liberal members.
- 19:15Speaker 6: I was talking to a polster last week who said
- 19:16Speaker 6: that the kind of preference discipline he's seeing from One
- 19:23Speaker 6: Nation is Greens, like, I mean, ninety percent of Green's
- 19:26Speaker 6: votes go to the ALP. He's seeing when he's in
- 19:30Speaker 6: his stuff that ninety percent of the One Nation preferences
- 19:35Speaker 6: heading to the Liberals. So I think the One Nation
- 19:38Speaker 6: will win some seeds and they'll certainly be an important
- 19:41Speaker 6: part of the Upper House. The Liberal Party won't be
- 19:44Speaker 6: able to do anything get any legislation through the Legislative
- 19:47Speaker 6: Council without One Nation supports. They're going to win. They're
- 19:50Speaker 6: going to win seats there. But in the lower House,
- 19:53Speaker 6: I think they're going to although they win some seats
- 19:55Speaker 6: in most cases they're going to end up electing Liberals.
- 20:00Speaker 3: Look, it's going to be interesting to see how it
- 20:01Speaker 3: plays out.
- 20:02Speaker 2: I guess Pauline Hanson she's hopeful that she can make
- 20:04Speaker 2: a dent in Victoria as she has in other parts
- 20:07Speaker 2: of the country. That would be her aim I suspect
- 20:10Speaker 2: for the party. Let's talk about Jess Wilson. The Liberal leader,
- 20:13Speaker 2: has told The Australian Today that she would serve as
- 20:16Speaker 2: both premier and Treasurer if elected. You mentioned it, the
- 20:21Speaker 2: books are pretty bad in Victoria. A good idea or not,
- 20:26Speaker 2: do you think, James, Well.
- 20:30Speaker 6: It's happened before. When Brax came to office in nineteen
- 20:35Speaker 6: ninety nine, he was both Treasurer and Premier. I don't
- 20:40Speaker 6: think it's a good idea because as treasurer you need
- 20:46Speaker 6: to Treasurers need to or ministers need a court of
- 20:49Speaker 6: appeal that sits above the treasurer. If you've got a
- 20:51Speaker 6: treasurer who's also the minute the Premier, there's no place
- 20:56Speaker 6: for people to go to get decisions reversed or reconsidered.
- 21:00Speaker 6: I don't think that it's that great an idea. The
- 21:03Speaker 6: problem is there really isn't anyone else who's as good
- 21:07Speaker 6: at the job as she is, or such as an
- 21:09Speaker 6: obvious candidate. If there was anyone who they felt could
- 21:13Speaker 6: be as credible as her, she would have given them
- 21:17Speaker 6: that job. But unfortunately there isn't one at this point.
- 21:20Speaker 2: All right, well, look, it's going to be an interesting
- 21:22Speaker 2: few days. Were watching your coverage closely. James Campbell, good
- 21:25Speaker 2: to see you. Thank you very much for joining me.
- 21:28Speaker 6: Thank you so much.
- 21:29Speaker 3: Still to come, Lefties losing it?
- 21:31Speaker 2: Plus the Democratic Socialists of America call for the abolishment
- 21:34Speaker 2: of prisons and borders.
- 21:36Speaker 3: Josh Hammer will have the latest from the US next.
- 21:47Speaker 2: Now it is time for Lefties or losing it and
- 21:50Speaker 2: the liberal crazy lunatics are back.
- 21:52Speaker 3: Ladies and gentlemen, now, riddle me this please.
- 21:56Speaker 2: A man with ties to Islamic circles allegedly drives his
- 21:59Speaker 2: van into crowds at an LGBTQ plus event in Germany.
- 22:03Speaker 3: We're all shocked, not but guess who the left are blaming?
- 22:08Speaker 9: White men people who were celebrating about this. We're all
- 22:13Speaker 9: weight men, young weight men with crisis and their profiles
- 22:17Speaker 9: because we've all seen it. We've all seen how you
- 22:19Speaker 9: guys react towards gay people and how you wish harm
- 22:22Speaker 9: on them constantly. I get it constant heat on my videos,
- 22:26Speaker 9: especially about trans people. You're not going to hide behind
- 22:29Speaker 9: another scapegoat group and pretend that they're actually the violent
- 22:33Speaker 9: ones when it's you. You hold the same exact beliefs
- 22:36Speaker 9: that this man who did this attack dead, and you're
- 22:39Speaker 9: trying to distance yourself from it, and you know why
- 22:42Speaker 9: you're trying to do that because you're ashamed and you
- 22:45Speaker 9: should be.
- 22:46Speaker 3: It's incredible, isn't it.
- 22:48Speaker 2: I mean, the useful idiots, the man hating pink hair brigade,
- 22:51Speaker 2: and the complete ignorance of Islam.
- 22:53Speaker 3: The denial is breathtaking.
- 22:55Speaker 2: And it's these types that actually pose the biggest threat
- 22:58Speaker 2: to the West. Now, move over, Queers for Palestine. There's
- 23:03Speaker 2: another new kid on the block, the trans for Palestine Palestine.
- 23:30Speaker 3: Yeah, who's going to tell him? You or me?
- 23:33Speaker 2: Do they know what happens to trans and lgbt q
- 23:36Speaker 2: I plus people in Palestine?
- 23:38Speaker 3: Again, who's going to tell him? You or me? And
- 23:41Speaker 3: how about this guy at Berlin Pride.
- 23:43Speaker 8: Well, Israelist aggressor in the entire Middle East region right
- 23:46Speaker 8: now bombing everyone while like each and every day you
- 23:50Speaker 8: have this ceasefires being uh discussed, which are like at
- 23:55Speaker 8: the same time being just completely ignored by Israel.
- 23:58Speaker 2: Yes, of course, Palestin and Iran are the true allies
- 24:02Speaker 2: of the Rainbow community, true allies. It's all very sweet,
- 24:05Speaker 2: isn't it. The derangement and self loathing stupidity knows no bounds.
- 24:10Speaker 3: But here is my favorite.
- 24:11Speaker 2: Have a look at this character at London Transpride.
- 24:23Speaker 3: Yes, the Muslim community will really rally it with that one.
- 24:26Speaker 3: They'll love that.
- 24:28Speaker 2: A symbol of oppression among a sea of self liberated,
- 24:32Speaker 2: idiotic lefties.
- 24:34Speaker 3: And why is it that the left love to play
- 24:37Speaker 3: the victim.
- 24:38Speaker 7: Ninety pigs in the UK our gass today the terms
- 24:43Speaker 7: don't exist.
- 24:44Speaker 2: Yes, another day, another open endorsement of violence among the
- 24:48Speaker 2: tolerant left. The trans community really are just so oppressed,
- 24:52Speaker 2: aren't they. I mean it says about as big of
- 24:55Speaker 2: a lie as the prospect that men are women. And
- 24:58Speaker 2: now to the UK, where Britain's political leaders are hard
- 25:01Speaker 2: at work.
- 25:14Speaker 3: To keep a party and he's so happy about it.
- 25:17Speaker 3: He's seeing a little dance on a font of stages. Wow,
- 25:31Speaker 3: so that is the state of UK politics. It is
- 25:35Speaker 3: one big joke.
- 25:36Speaker 2: Now Donald Trump really is showing how much of a
- 25:39Speaker 2: comedian he really is.
- 25:40Speaker 3: At a White House press.
- 25:42Speaker 2: Court dinner, he gave dim with liberal obsessed CNN anchor
- 25:46Speaker 2: Caitlyn Collins a reality check.
- 25:48Speaker 10: She's a young, attractive woman.
- 25:51Speaker 7: She never smiles.
- 25:53Speaker 10: I said, Kaitlyn, do you ever smile? Smile? You have
- 25:56Speaker 10: a nice position, you're at CNN Fakener's. You should be
- 26:00Speaker 10: a happy person. Just smile, Caitlyn, Just smile. But we attack,
- 26:05Speaker 10: And I thought Caitlyn had really made it big with
- 26:09Speaker 10: a major new sponsorship. But then I informed her that
- 26:14Speaker 10: it wasn't her on the butt light can it was
- 26:17Speaker 10: Dylan muldany.
- 26:20Speaker 3: I don't know.
- 26:20Speaker 11: About you, but yeah, actually I can really say the
- 26:25Speaker 11: resemblance both week woke and ridiculous, and in that sweater
- 26:30Speaker 11: two pays it apod Seriously, nobody is better at trolling
- 26:35Speaker 11: than Donald Trump.
- 26:36Speaker 10: People have no idea how lucky you are. When I'm gone,
- 26:40Speaker 10: you're all going to be broke. Your business model is
- 26:42Speaker 10: going to be finished.
- 26:43Speaker 9: No sure, when I'm not.
- 26:45Speaker 10: Around, you're going to be broke. There's not going to
- 26:47Speaker 10: be anybody to report on. Nobody gives a damn about
- 26:50Speaker 10: anybody else. Tonight, to show just how much I care
- 26:54Speaker 10: about the press, and I want to save your ratings
- 26:58Speaker 10: and pleased to announced my intention to and this is
- 27:04Speaker 10: somewhat of a scoop, my intention to run for a
- 27:09Speaker 10: fourth term as president of the United States.
- 27:13Speaker 2: A Democratic Socialist of America leader has admitted the group
- 27:16Speaker 2: wants to ready for it. Abolish prisons, borders, the Senate,
- 27:21Speaker 2: and lots more. DSA national co chair Megan Roma, has
- 27:25Speaker 2: laid out the radical wish list during a round of
- 27:28Speaker 2: truth or false questions on Fox News.
- 27:32Speaker 12: Abolish the Senate, true, okay, replace the Presidency and Supreme
- 27:38Speaker 12: Court as we now know them.
- 27:40Speaker 3: Yep. Abolish ice.
- 27:44Speaker 12: Absolutely, abolish borders, and give amnesty to anyone currently in
- 27:48Speaker 12: the US illegally.
- 27:51Speaker 3: As a long term plan. Yep.
- 27:53Speaker 12: Defund the Pentagon. Absolutely, abolished prisons at least in large part.
- 28:01Speaker 3: Yeah again, as part of a long term program.
- 28:04Speaker 2: Yeah, joining me now is newsweak. Senior editor at Lodge
- 28:06Speaker 2: Josh Ham Josh coud to say, thank you so much
- 28:09Speaker 2: for joining me.
- 28:10Speaker 3: What the radical wish list is?
- 28:11Speaker 2: This not another example of the dangers of these sorts
- 28:14Speaker 2: of socialist types.
- 28:16Speaker 1: You know, Nika.
- 28:17Speaker 7: It would be one thing if this were relegated to
- 28:20Speaker 7: the fringe of the Democratic Party that relegates the fringe
- 28:23Speaker 7: of the American left. But the DSA at this point
- 28:26Speaker 7: is the beating heart. It is the heart and soul
- 28:28Speaker 7: of the American left. We know this because they're winning elections.
- 28:31Speaker 7: They are literally the ones who are picking the current
- 28:35Speaker 7: crop of candidates to run on the Democratic Party slate.
- 28:38Speaker 7: Zormamdani is a DSA person himself. He is the mayor
- 28:41Speaker 7: of America's largest, most prominent, and most famous city, and
- 28:45Speaker 7: he is now the king maker. Jormamdanni is now the
- 28:47Speaker 7: singular king maker in the Democratic Party. He's a close
- 28:50Speaker 7: saying that that party currently has to a Barack Obama
- 28:53Speaker 7: two point zero type figure. And you look at what
- 28:56Speaker 7: they're calling for, and my god, I'm not only is
- 29:00Speaker 7: this subversive, not only is this insurrectionists, it is wildly
- 29:04Speaker 7: anti American, is wildly anti Western civilization. You cannot have
- 29:08Speaker 7: these views, You cannot have these stipid positions and also
- 29:12Speaker 7: claim fidelity to the Constitution of the United States. So
- 29:15Speaker 7: I want to be very clear on this. If at
- 29:17Speaker 7: this point you live in my country, United States, and
- 29:20Speaker 7: at this point, if you still love the United's Constitution,
- 29:22Speaker 7: which you should, because it is the greatest founding charter
- 29:24Speaker 7: known to men to this day. Then you cannot support
- 29:28Speaker 7: anyone remotely close to this because these people are openly
- 29:31Speaker 7: calling to burn it down. They are now, they're saying
- 29:35Speaker 7: in the quiet parts, Nika out loud and whatever. We
- 29:38Speaker 7: thought that maybe they were trying to be coy, maybe
- 29:41Speaker 7: they were just trying to use a bunch of nice,
- 29:43Speaker 7: mollifluous sounding euphemisms, trying to make it sound a little
- 29:46Speaker 7: bit more, a little bit lower key. But we know
- 29:49Speaker 7: what they're thinking now that I've been bothered. Now I've
- 29:51Speaker 7: been bothering with that whole trade. They're saying it all
- 29:54Speaker 7: out loud, and it is freaking nuts. But the thing is,
- 29:57Speaker 7: this is the party. The polling shows, Pugh Gallop, all
- 30:01Speaker 7: the major American pulsars show that there are now more
- 30:03Speaker 7: registered Democrats, not just DSA, but all Democrats who have
- 30:07Speaker 7: a higher, more favorable view of socialism than capitalism. And
- 30:11Speaker 7: the list goes on and on on. These are no
- 30:13Speaker 7: longer just positions relegated to the DSA. They are becoming
- 30:17Speaker 7: the beating solo Democratic Party. And that is ultimate was
- 30:20Speaker 7: on the balance of this November and beyond.
- 30:22Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a real, real worry because they are. They're
- 30:24Speaker 2: saying that quiet part out loud now that they have
- 30:26Speaker 2: no shame. They just want an America with no rules,
- 30:29Speaker 2: these bizarre socialist rules, and they're happy to talk about
- 30:33Speaker 2: it so publicly. I mean, gosh, I want a disaster
- 30:36Speaker 2: to go that far far to the left. It is actually,
- 30:39Speaker 2: I think, quite a concern. Let's talk about Bernie Sanders.
- 30:43Speaker 2: I don't know about you, Josh, but I think he's
- 30:45Speaker 2: really losing it.
- 30:46Speaker 3: He insists that he has.
- 30:47Speaker 2: No regrets about his staunch defense of disgraced Oyster farmer
- 30:52Speaker 2: Graham Plattner. Sanders had been among Planter's earliest backers, you
- 30:57Speaker 2: were calling stuck by him during those scandals, defend him
- 31:00Speaker 2: after the revelations emerged that he cheated on his wife,
- 31:03Speaker 2: got a tattoo of a Nazi symbol, and even when
- 31:06Speaker 2: several women accused him of sexual misconduct. But Josh can
- 31:09Speaker 2: he's come out again saying no regrets. I stand by
- 31:13Speaker 2: what I said. What do you make of this revelation?
- 31:19Speaker 7: Well, it's it's quite ludicrous, isn't it. In fact, it's
- 31:23Speaker 7: almost beyond parody. Because the main Democratic Party itself, like
- 31:27Speaker 7: the actual part of that governs the Democrats in state.
- 31:30Speaker 7: The main they have regrets, They have lots of regrets.
- 31:33Speaker 7: In fact, they've said so quite openly and plainly, is
- 31:35Speaker 7: that we wish we not gone down the road. And
- 31:37Speaker 7: why do they wish they're not gone down this road?
- 31:39Speaker 7: Not that they feel any moral sheen, not that they
- 31:42Speaker 7: feel any kind of stigma, not that they're having any
- 31:45Speaker 7: kind of doubts about the fact that they lied and
- 31:47Speaker 7: they cover it up and they worked with the New
- 31:49Speaker 7: York Times to bury all these horrific allegations about about
- 31:54Speaker 7: misconducts and rape. No, the reason that they're worrying actually
- 31:57Speaker 7: is because they actually might not get a candidate on
- 31:59Speaker 7: the So Troy Jackson, who was just voted by the
- 32:02Speaker 7: delegates to be the new nominee in Maine, that happened
- 32:04Speaker 7: just this past weekend, he's arguably going to be a
- 32:07Speaker 7: victim of Maine's sore loser law, so various states in
- 32:11Speaker 7: the United States.
- 32:11Speaker 1: How it's called a sore loser law.
- 32:13Speaker 7: It basically says that if you run for a certain
- 32:15Speaker 7: office in one cycle and you lose in the primary,
- 32:19Speaker 7: you can't then jump and run for another office.
- 32:22Speaker 1: This is a state by state thing.
- 32:23Speaker 7: Maine happens to have a sore loser law, so they
- 32:26Speaker 7: might basically be screwed, and the main Democrats are starting
- 32:29Speaker 7: to freak out. Bernie Sanders has no such drugs because
- 32:33Speaker 7: he is, I mean, Bernie Sanders was basically Zormam Donni.
- 32:36Speaker 7: Before Zormam Donnie was Zoramdannie. Bernie Sanders is an absolute
- 32:40Speaker 7: lunatic nidey remand the viewers here he is a man
- 32:42Speaker 7: who literally honeymoons in the USSR. You can't make this
- 32:46Speaker 7: crap up. He actually honeymoons in the Soviet Union at
- 32:50Speaker 7: the height of the Cold War in nineteen seventies. Because
- 32:52Speaker 7: again Bernie Sanders has never been shy of saying the
- 32:56Speaker 7: quiet part out loud. He hates this country, he hates
- 32:58Speaker 7: what stands are. He wants to be burned down by
- 33:01Speaker 7: any means necessary. In the nineteen seventies, that meant that
- 33:04Speaker 7: Bernie flew behind the Iron Curtain to go honeymoon with
- 33:06Speaker 7: the hammer and sickle flag these is apparently he's having
- 33:09Speaker 7: no remorse but endorsing someone with a tautenkomp Nazi tattoo.
- 33:12Speaker 7: Because whether it's the Commist, the Nazis, or some other vehicle,
- 33:15Speaker 7: whether it's radical Islam or something else. Whatever it takes
- 33:18Speaker 7: out America, whatever it takes down the West, you can
- 33:20Speaker 7: sign Bernie Sanders up for it. He is beyond chef.
- 33:23Speaker 3: Yeah, and he's beyond gone.
- 33:25Speaker 2: That's the same time, he's beyond shame and beyond gone.
- 33:28Speaker 3: It's terrifying. Really.
- 33:30Speaker 2: Let's talk about popular children's YouTube educator Miss Rachel. Look,
- 33:34Speaker 2: I've been a little bit worried about her rhetoric for
- 33:37Speaker 2: some time now and what this means for her educating
- 33:40Speaker 2: of children. But it's been revealed that she gave three
- 33:43Speaker 2: thousand dollars to progressive Democrat Abdul l Sayed's Michigan Senate campaign.
- 33:49Speaker 2: As I said, Joshov, I find some of it quite
- 33:53Speaker 2: Auntie Israel, and I think the fact that she's donated
- 33:55Speaker 2: to this campaign is a concern.
- 33:57Speaker 3: She's very anti Ice.
- 34:00Speaker 2: She inserts her politics basically where I don't think it
- 34:04Speaker 2: would be appropriate Josh for somebody who's meant to be
- 34:08Speaker 2: educating the next generation.
- 34:10Speaker 3: I mean, what do you think that means?
- 34:13Speaker 1: Yeah? Miss Rachel's a nightmare. She's an absolute nightmare.
- 34:15Speaker 7: She is a cot so left this she's a Marxist,
- 34:18Speaker 7: she's a Democrat, socialist, whatever you want to describe her.
- 34:20Speaker 7: Her views are left wing down the line, whether it's immigration,
- 34:23Speaker 7: whether it's LGBT and all of antel She's, as you mentioned,
- 34:27Speaker 7: v mentally anti Israel, pro Hamas. It's revolting and personally,
- 34:31Speaker 7: I can I can assure you, Danika that here in
- 34:33Speaker 7: the Hammer household, we do not play any Miss Rachel
- 34:36Speaker 7: content for our children. All my like minded friends here
- 34:40Speaker 7: on the American right think and feel the same. I
- 34:43Speaker 7: No one here on the rights is showing Miss Rachel
- 34:45Speaker 7: to their children. Unfortunately, she does have an audience when
- 34:48Speaker 7: it comes to to left wing America. And you know,
- 34:51Speaker 7: ultimately childhood education is just one of the many parts
- 34:55Speaker 7: of America's ever royal and culture war. I think perhaps
- 34:58Speaker 7: there's perhaps there's so fanciful way that we would like
- 35:01Speaker 7: to move beyond that and say, oh, we all want
- 35:04Speaker 7: to have the same influencers, the same educators. That's just
- 35:07Speaker 7: not the nature of this country. Perhaps it never was.
- 35:09Speaker 7: It's definitely it's not the nature of this country. In
- 35:11Speaker 7: the year twenty twenty six, a lot of lefties will
- 35:14Speaker 7: send their children to woke indoctrinated in public schools and
- 35:18Speaker 7: private schools, to that matter, A lot of my religious
- 35:20Speaker 7: friends will homeschool and then they will go to classical schools,
- 35:23Speaker 7: classical Christian schools, things on nature. So this is just
- 35:26Speaker 7: one of the many fault lines of America's ever royal
- 35:29Speaker 7: and cultural divide. The problem is that Miss Rachel has
- 35:32Speaker 7: a massive audience and a massive market share, and there
- 35:34Speaker 7: is to this point there's really no singular right of
- 35:38Speaker 7: center equivalent to that. There are some kind of more niche,
- 35:41Speaker 7: boutique style presenters on YouTube and elsewhere, some of which
- 35:45Speaker 7: my wife and I have explored on our own, but
- 35:47Speaker 7: the market is kind of craving a Miss Rachel who
- 35:50Speaker 7: is not absolutely completely besouded by left wing wo ideology.
- 35:54Speaker 7: So if anyone out there is willing to kind of
- 35:56Speaker 7: take up this call and wants to have a shot
- 35:58Speaker 7: at educating the hammered children and all of the our
- 36:00Speaker 7: of our friends here in America who have not gone crazy,
- 36:03Speaker 7: then I see rise the challenge lists.
- 36:04Speaker 2: Yet one hundred percent, they could make a lot of
- 36:06Speaker 2: money just from sticking to their own lane. I just
- 36:08Speaker 2: don't understand these people. Why can't they just do their job.
- 36:12Speaker 2: You don't have to insert politics. Nobody is watching you
- 36:15Speaker 2: for your political views. Kids are watching you because you're
- 36:18Speaker 2: fun and you're funny, and that's why parents like you.
- 36:20Speaker 3: I just, honestly, I.
- 36:22Speaker 2: Really despair for the left and the way it's going up, Josh.
- 36:25Speaker 2: Now our viewers will remember doctor Anthony Fauci, who was
- 36:29Speaker 2: the face of the COVID pandemic in the US. Will
- 36:31Speaker 2: Some of his diary entries written during the pandemic have
- 36:34Speaker 2: been revealed, and they show how he became increasingly fixated
- 36:38Speaker 2: on his newfound fame. One letter dated April seven, twenty twenty,
- 36:43Speaker 2: read press still hot and heavy about me, multiple stories
- 36:46Speaker 2: per day directly or indirectly involving me. On May twenty one,
- 36:50Speaker 2: twenty twenty, he wrote that his national and international fame
- 36:53Speaker 2: is explosive and really unimaginable.
- 36:57Speaker 3: Wow, Josh, this guy.
- 36:59Speaker 2: Was responsible for the COVID response in the US. We
- 37:04Speaker 2: had people that were dying, not just in the US
- 37:06Speaker 2: but across the world, and this guy was more interested
- 37:09Speaker 2: in his fame and his notoriety.
- 37:11Speaker 3: What does that tell you?
- 37:14Speaker 1: I think it says a lot.
- 37:15Speaker 7: I think it really says longed to know actually about
- 37:17Speaker 7: the motivation and what was actually driving Fauci and his
- 37:20Speaker 7: merry band of misfits. Look April May twenty twenty, that
- 37:24Speaker 7: was literally April seventh was less than a month into
- 37:29Speaker 7: the lockdowns. A lockdown started around March fourteenth, March fifteenth
- 37:32Speaker 7: in the United States. I mean at that time, Anthony
- 37:35Speaker 7: Fouts should have been I mean, first of all, he
- 37:37Speaker 7: shouldn't have had any free time. I mean, he was
- 37:39Speaker 7: the point man for the biggest pandemic response in America
- 37:43Speaker 7: in what a century since the Spanish flew. So he
- 37:46Speaker 7: really should not have been sleeping at all. He should
- 37:48Speaker 7: not have had any free time, and he should have
- 37:50Speaker 7: been focused monolithically on trying to make sure that the Americans
- 37:54Speaker 7: were best equipped. And beyond that, he should have been
- 37:57Speaker 7: making sure that our response was worth it. That that
- 38:00Speaker 7: what we did in those very very very costly first
- 38:03Speaker 7: three weeks, in those first few months. By the way,
- 38:06Speaker 7: the actual full cost of COVID nineteen and the whole
- 38:10Speaker 7: Western world response to very much, including the United States. Unfortunately,
- 38:13Speaker 7: it's going to take us probably decades actually to actually
- 38:16Speaker 7: learn the full scale, scope and scale of that response,
- 38:19Speaker 7: because you know, we're just we're just talking about about
- 38:21Speaker 7: Miss Rachel and childhood education. Think about the years of
- 38:25Speaker 7: social interactions that that children two, three, four years old,
- 38:29Speaker 7: et cetera.
- 38:29Speaker 1: I just missed out.
- 38:30Speaker 7: They missed out on the playground, they missed out in kindergarten,
- 38:34Speaker 7: their classmates. These are real skills children will develop later
- 38:38Speaker 7: in life. Skills that would have been developed in the
- 38:40Speaker 7: workforce were delayed. This is a massive, massive, massive, massive costs.
- 38:45Speaker 7: And Fouching his team should have been thinking about all
- 38:47Speaker 7: these things they have course shod been thinking about things
- 38:50Speaker 7: like social distancing, there's a buzzword from the ghastly past.
- 38:54Speaker 7: Should been thinking about things like K ninety five mass.
- 38:58Speaker 1: Do these things actually work? Are they actually efficacious?
- 39:00Speaker 7: And by the way, he probably should not have been
- 39:02Speaker 7: prematurely writing off the lab lea theory, the theory that
- 39:05Speaker 7: has now endures been more agencies of the United States
- 39:07Speaker 7: governments than it is non endorsed by. So I mean,
- 39:10Speaker 7: Fauci misplayed this thing every which way from Sunday. But
- 39:13Speaker 7: I think these messages that you've just showed the audience
- 39:16Speaker 7: revealed that this is a man who was motivated necessarily
- 39:18Speaker 7: by these science that the soul called Trust of Science
- 39:20Speaker 7: crowd was was touting on on every given day ending
- 39:24Speaker 7: And why no, they were motivated actually by some ulterior
- 39:27Speaker 7: and self serving factors. And I think that's one of
- 39:30Speaker 7: the many, many things that will ultimate coulminating in this
- 39:33Speaker 7: banded Mesod's being viewed, shall we say, less than favorably
- 39:36Speaker 7: when it comes to history's judgment.
- 39:38Speaker 2: Absolutely, and you're right. There were kids that lost out
- 39:40Speaker 2: on vital education years. You had businesses going broke because
- 39:44Speaker 2: they could not open for an extended period of time.
- 39:47Speaker 2: Livelihoods absolutely turned upside down, people dying, and.
- 39:51Speaker 3: This guy was obsessed with himself.
- 39:53Speaker 2: I think it is an absolute blight on that pandemic,
- 39:55Speaker 2: and I really do think there should always be inquiries
- 39:58Speaker 2: into what went wrong, because he is an example of
- 40:00Speaker 2: what did go wrong. I'm going to ask you about
- 40:04Speaker 2: some of Donald Trump's jokes. I just find him absolutely hilarious.
- 40:08Speaker 2: He has joked that he will run for re election
- 40:11Speaker 2: as he hit out at the media while giving a
- 40:13Speaker 2: speech to the Washington Press Corps. I have a look
- 40:16Speaker 2: at a bit of what he had to say over
- 40:17Speaker 2: the weekend.
- 40:19Speaker 3: I want, I want.
- 40:20Speaker 10: Three times now. I'm gonna do it again. Thank you,
- 40:28Speaker 10: I'm gonna do it. It should be easy. I'm getting very
- 40:31Speaker 10: good at running for president.
- 40:34Speaker 2: Josh, I just love the way that he trolls the
- 40:36Speaker 2: press and the media pack. A lot of those who
- 40:38Speaker 2: were in the audience on that night were from the
- 40:40Speaker 2: liberal media.
- 40:41Speaker 3: But I love his confidence he puts he puts the
- 40:43Speaker 3: hat on it. He's not a shame to say it
- 40:45Speaker 3: like it is.
- 40:48Speaker 7: Dald Drops a very, very, very funny man, and in fact,
- 40:52Speaker 7: I have long I have long said this is one
- 40:53Speaker 7: of his greatest political attributes. He is he is really
- 40:57Speaker 7: really funny. He comes across as just a just a
- 41:00Speaker 7: genuine guy that you would like to have a beer with,
- 41:03Speaker 7: as we say in American politics. Hold this side. He's
- 41:05Speaker 7: actually a teetot, doesn't drink. That's another humor there. But
- 41:07Speaker 7: he's the kind of guy who, in theory, you would
- 41:09Speaker 7: like to kind of cheers with and kind of just
- 41:11Speaker 7: spend a couple of hours just watching a basketball game,
- 41:13Speaker 7: some sporting match and kind of just drinking the beers
- 41:15Speaker 7: and hanging out. He also has other various political skills.
- 41:18Speaker 7: He has an instinctive knack for the art of the
- 41:21Speaker 7: eighty twenty issue, as I talked about, But really he's
- 41:24Speaker 7: humored above all. I think one of the greatest secrets
- 41:27Speaker 7: to his success and one of the biggest reasons why
- 41:29Speaker 7: he has been kind of the singular figure on the
- 41:31Speaker 7: American political stage for a decade or more. Now, By
- 41:35Speaker 7: the way, he had a lot of really funny jokes
- 41:37Speaker 7: at this White House correspondence there, he had this one
- 41:40Speaker 7: joke about Barry Weis's a friend of mine. On the
- 41:42Speaker 7: head of CBS News. He had this one joke at
- 41:44Speaker 7: Barry's expense that actually had me just bursting out laughing
- 41:48Speaker 7: for minutes on end. So whoever wrote those jokes, whether
- 41:51Speaker 7: it was Trump, whether his writers, whoever was there, really
- 41:54Speaker 7: really funny. But ultimately, Danika, a joke is only as
- 41:57Speaker 7: good as a person who can actually deliver it. And
- 41:58Speaker 7: Donald Trump again, he's got a love experience here as
- 42:01Speaker 7: a former host of The Apprentice, one of the most
- 42:03Speaker 7: popular reality TV shows in America for seasons and seasons
- 42:07Speaker 7: on end five ten years. Whoever long goes on American TV,
- 42:10Speaker 7: it's the guy who loves the camera. He's very good
- 42:12Speaker 7: in front of a camera there, and again, you know,
- 42:15Speaker 7: lover hate Donald Trump. I feel pretty confident in saying
- 42:17Speaker 7: that the next president, and I hate to break it
- 42:19Speaker 7: to some folks, but it won't be Trump. He's not
- 42:21Speaker 7: going to run actually it's just trolling whoever the next
- 42:23Speaker 7: president is, whoever he or she may be. I guarantee
- 42:27Speaker 7: you that it's not going to be quite as funny
- 42:28Speaker 7: you're entertaining on daily basis Donald Trump.
- 42:30Speaker 1: So if nothing else, enjoyed that.
- 42:32Speaker 2: While last oh yes, I completely agree, there's certainly no
- 42:35Speaker 2: shortage of fun moments when it comes to Donald Trump.
- 42:38Speaker 2: Josh have nice to catch up as always, Thanks very
- 42:40Speaker 2: much for joining me. Still to come, get ready for
- 42:43Speaker 2: a cringe fest. Megant Markle's disastrous Master Chef episode is
- 42:48Speaker 2: Kinsey Schofield will join me to break it all down next.
- 42:59Speaker 3: Welcome back.
- 43:00Speaker 2: Joining me now is host of the Kinsey Schofield Unfiltered podcast,
- 43:04Speaker 2: Kinsey Schofield herself. Nice to see you as always. Thank
- 43:06Speaker 2: you so much for joining me on the show. Look,
- 43:09Speaker 2: we've got to start with Meghan Markle. She's made her
- 43:11Speaker 2: long awaited appearance on Master Chef Australia over the weekend,
- 43:16Speaker 2: and during the show she received a surprise video call
- 43:19Speaker 2: from her husband, Prince Harry.
- 43:20Speaker 13: Have a look at this, love, ye, my husband's here.
- 43:38Speaker 3: Something before.
- 43:39Speaker 12: We're actually in the middle of teasting all of the dishes.
- 43:42Speaker 3: We have four incredible cooks.
- 43:43Speaker 2: Here cringe, Kinsey, as if the whole episode couldn't get
- 43:47Speaker 2: a lot worse than Prince Harry has to even phone in.
- 43:52Speaker 14: Why did you not prepare me for that jump?
- 43:54Speaker 3: Scare? Sorry?
- 43:56Speaker 14: Sorry, I know that was a lot of feast. That
- 44:00Speaker 14: was a lot of forehead from Prince Aerry. Call me cynical,
- 44:02Speaker 14: but I don't believe for a second that Prince Harry
- 44:05Speaker 14: just happened to FaceTime Megan Markle while the cameras were rolling.
- 44:09Speaker 14: I think we've watched Meghan operate long enough to know
- 44:13Speaker 14: that very little about the presentation of Brand Meghan is accidental.
- 44:18Speaker 3: She's a total control freak.
- 44:20Speaker 14: If I'm being like the nicest way I could possibly
- 44:23Speaker 14: see it. But that gives producers a cute television moment,
- 44:28Speaker 14: But more importantly, it reminds everybody why Meghan is ultimately
- 44:31Speaker 14: there in the first place, because of who she married. Otherwise,
- 44:34Speaker 14: what qualifies her to be on that show in that position?
- 44:38Speaker 3: Yeah?
- 44:38Speaker 2: No, she has absolutely zero qualifications other than just having
- 44:41Speaker 2: made an appearance in a television series once and well
- 44:44Speaker 2: that was a flop, and everything she's done since has
- 44:47Speaker 2: been an absolute flop.
- 44:48Speaker 3: But you're right, it was a bit of a job scare. Now.
- 44:50Speaker 2: Look, it's been revealed that Harry and Meghan also visited
- 44:53Speaker 2: Princess Diana's childhood home in All Four during their recent
- 44:58Speaker 2: trip abroad. She hid their face, but Megan has actually
- 45:01Speaker 2: shared some photos of Princess little Bit and Prince Archie
- 45:05Speaker 2: during that trip. Well, Kimsey, the worldwide privacy tour just continues.
- 45:11Speaker 14: Yeah, this is where I struggle with Meghan's you know,
- 45:15Speaker 14: Meghan's position on not sharing images of your children online
- 45:20Speaker 14: and taking her seriously as an authority, and that split
- 45:23Speaker 14: in that place. You know, these aren't photographs taken by
- 45:28Speaker 14: paparazzi hiding behind a hedge. Someone is photographing Harry tossing
- 45:34Speaker 14: a little bit in the swimming pool, Megan's sun bathing,
- 45:37Speaker 14: intimate family moments, The picture of her standing on the beach.
- 45:40Speaker 3: Like, who was that guy?
- 45:42Speaker 14: The way that she's standing there in her bathing suit
- 45:45Speaker 14: reminds me of Borat when he's in the neon bathing suit.
- 45:49Speaker 14: You can't continuously monetize glimpses of your private family and
- 45:54Speaker 14: then act astonished that the public is interested in your
- 45:57Speaker 14: private life. Apparently privacy means nobody else can take photographs.
- 46:02Speaker 14: But Megan's photographer is perfectly acceptable.
- 46:06Speaker 2: Oh, absolutely, well, she is the ultimate hypocrite after all,
- 46:09Speaker 2: It's all very acceptable. And yeah, I did say that
- 46:11Speaker 2: the comparisons with her bathing suit even some to like
- 46:14Speaker 2: Princess Diana, but at least Princess Dinah.
- 46:15Speaker 3: Looked lovely in hers.
- 46:18Speaker 2: Now Canzi, there's a bit of concern that Harry Styles
- 46:20Speaker 2: might be burning himself out on the world tour. This
- 46:23Speaker 2: is quite worrying because he was forced to cancel a
- 46:26Speaker 2: gig in Brazil this week due to tour illness.
- 46:29Speaker 3: What's going on here.
- 46:31Speaker 14: Well, you know, the headline should be that Harry Styles
- 46:35Speaker 14: missed one show. The remarkable thing is how many shows
- 46:38Speaker 14: he's managed to pull off at this level. I mean
- 46:40Speaker 14: a few weeks ago, I was joking that one Harry
- 46:43Speaker 14: Harry Styles was running six miles through London before entertaining
- 46:47Speaker 14: ninety thousand people at Wimbley. You know, apparently even somebody
- 46:52Speaker 14: capable of doing that needs to take a nap every
- 46:55Speaker 14: now and then. He needs to sick day. But he's
- 46:58Speaker 14: done incredible things. Sold out twelve nights at Wimbley Stadium
- 47:03Speaker 14: has a thirty night Madison Square Garden residency on the horizon.
- 47:07Speaker 14: I'm exhausted just reading his itinerary. But he has accomplished
- 47:12Speaker 14: a lot in a short amount of time.
- 47:14Speaker 2: He has, and he's also very young. But wow, a
- 47:16Speaker 2: residency as well. That guy's going to be earning a
- 47:19Speaker 2: lot more money, even on top of what he already is.
- 47:21Speaker 3: That's absolutely massive.
- 47:23Speaker 2: Now, Comic Con is underway in San Diego, and Marvel
- 47:26Speaker 2: Studios have revealed that Ryan Gosling will be the next
- 47:29Speaker 2: ghost Writer Kinsey, is.
- 47:31Speaker 3: There anyone not part of Marvel at this point?
- 47:35Speaker 14: Apparently joining Marvel is now leg jury duty for attractive
- 47:39Speaker 14: Hollywood actors. Eventually your number gets called. But Ryan Gosling
- 47:43Speaker 14: is Ghostwriter actually makes sense to me. He's reached that weird,
- 47:47Speaker 14: wonderful point in his career where he can do Oscar
- 47:50Speaker 14: caliber work, he can play Ken, he can jump into
- 47:52Speaker 14: Star Wars and now become meaning of like a flaming
- 47:56Speaker 14: skold motorcycle riding superhero. That's apparently going to be on
- 48:01Speaker 14: his resume too, and it's not particularly strange. I also
- 48:04Speaker 14: love the full circle moment here. Even Mendez, his partner,
- 48:09Speaker 14: starred in the original two thousand and seven ghost Writer
- 48:12Speaker 14: with Nicholas Cage as the love interest, so technically Ryan
- 48:15Speaker 14: is joining the family business.
- 48:16Speaker 3: Well, there you go. It's good news all round.
- 48:19Speaker 10: Now.
- 48:19Speaker 2: You mentioned Ken, and I think that Gavin Newsom is
- 48:22Speaker 2: the Californian Ken Doll.
- 48:24Speaker 3: The governor is in a world of pain and you.
- 48:26Speaker 2: Statewide Pole found nearly two thirds of Californians oppose Newsom's
- 48:30Speaker 2: twenty thirty five gas car mandate.
- 48:32Speaker 3: It's not looking good, Kinsey.
- 48:34Speaker 14: My problem has always been the practical contradiction. California wants
- 48:39Speaker 14: millions more people to depend on electricity for transportation. Wall
- 48:43Speaker 14: We're being told periodically that during these extreme heat times
- 48:48Speaker 14: to conserve electricity to protect the grid. You can't simultaneously
- 48:53Speaker 14: tell people the electric grid is under enormous strain and
- 48:58Speaker 14: then mandate that everybody's next car eventually plug into it
- 49:02Speaker 14: without convincing us the infrastructure can handle that.
- 49:06Speaker 3: No, exactly.
- 49:07Speaker 2: Another one of his Ken Doll thought bubbles into the
- 49:09Speaker 2: never never that never actually eventuate. They're all just dreams,
- 49:13Speaker 2: pipe dreams. Kinsey's co Field, lovely to see you, Thanks.
- 49:16Speaker 3: Very much for joining us. Thank you. That's it from me.
- 49:19Speaker 3: Up next is Newsnight. Good Night,
