Speaker 1: On scor MS Australia.
0:05
Speaker 2: This is the Winner Panalty Show.
0:10
Speaker 3: Good evening and welcome to the Riata Panicky Show. Coming
0:13
Speaker 3: up tonight, A former defense minister warns that Ben Roberts
0:16
Speaker 3: Smith's arrest will have dramatic effects on the Australian Defense
0:20
Speaker 3: Forces recruitment efforts. The panel will join me surely to
0:24
Speaker 3: discuss that a groundbreaking study finds that puberty blockers and
0:28
Speaker 3: irreversible treatments lead to worse psychiatric outcomes. I'll speak to
0:33
Speaker 3: Rachel Wong about that shortly. Mihrowitz will have the latest
0:37
Speaker 3: from the US, including the Seaspy deal appearing to fracture
0:41
Speaker 3: within the verse twenty four hours and later in the
0:44
Speaker 3: hour with Cross the Kinsey's schofield for Loyal and Entertainment
0:48
Speaker 3: News and we never forget left. He is losing it tonight.
0:52
Speaker 3: We have a young man pretending to be a woman
0:55
Speaker 3: who wants a safe space away from women.
0:59
Speaker 4: I want to see beast from siss women. How about that?
1:06
Speaker 3: But first, our fears that the charges laid against Ben
1:09
Speaker 3: Roberts Smith will have a dramatic effect on recruitment efforts
1:13
Speaker 3: for the Australian Defense Force. Former labor Defense Minister Joel
1:16
Speaker 3: Fitzgibbon is among experts warning that the charges against Robert
1:20
Speaker 3: Smith will make recruitment more difficulty. Said, I fear some
1:24
Speaker 3: parents will discourage their adult children from becoming involved in
1:28
Speaker 3: the Defense Forces because of the treatment of an Australian hero.
1:32
Speaker 3: Victoria Cross recipient Ben Robert Smith has been charged with
1:35
Speaker 3: five counts of the war crime of murder the five
1:39
Speaker 3: alleged defenses occurring in Afghanistan between two thousand and nine
1:42
Speaker 3: and twenty twelve. If found guilty, the maximum penalty is
1:47
Speaker 3: life in prison. Joining me now is the Institute of
1:50
Speaker 3: Public Affairs chief economist Adam Crichton and former Liberal MP
1:54
Speaker 3: Nicole Flint. Nicole, I'll start with you. The Australian Defense
1:58
Speaker 3: Force currently has sixty one thous members. It wants to
2:01
Speaker 3: have eighty thousand members by twenty forty. I don't think
2:04
Speaker 3: that's likely under the current circumstances.
2:07
Speaker 5: Do you?
2:09
Speaker 6: I don't think it's likely.
2:11
Speaker 5: Rita, Why would you join the Australian Defense Force and
2:15
Speaker 5: risk your life and your reputation and your family knowing
2:19
Speaker 5: what has just happened to Ben Roberts Smith, one of our.
2:22
Speaker 6: Most decorated soldiers.
2:25
Speaker 5: Why would you sign up when you know that your
2:28
Speaker 5: superiors probably won't be held to account for alleged cultural
2:32
Speaker 5: issues or issues and things that may have happened on
2:37
Speaker 5: the battlefield. Why would you sign up to endure a
2:40
Speaker 5: decade of allegations hanging over you and then have the
2:43
Speaker 5: full force of the federal government departments and sections of
2:47
Speaker 5: the mainstream media pursuing you. Rita, it is completely unfair
2:53
Speaker 5: and I just can't see how people can have confidence
2:58
Speaker 5: in joining our defense right now under these circumstances, particularly
3:04
Speaker 5: after you look at the manner in which Ben Robert
3:07
Speaker 5: Smith was arrested, which I think would make Russia and
3:11
Speaker 5: Chinese communists really happy. He was arrested in front of
3:14
Speaker 5: his family. He was arrested in public at an airport.
3:19
Speaker 5: The media were there. How they were granted access like
3:22
Speaker 5: they were is beyond belief.
3:25
Speaker 6: The AFP have a lot.
3:26
Speaker 5: To answer for, but of course the AFP aren't answering
3:29
Speaker 5: any questions. Rita, this is an absolutely shocking situation, and
3:34
Speaker 5: at a time when we have record low recruitment.
3:36
Speaker 6: And defense, it is just a disaster.
3:40
Speaker 3: On the arrest, Adam, the AFP really need to account
3:45
Speaker 3: for how certain members of the media seem to be
3:47
Speaker 3: forewarned of this arrest. They seemed to be right there
3:50
Speaker 3: with their cameras trained so they could capture the event.
3:56
Speaker 3: It's like a humiliation ritual.
3:58
Speaker 7: Yeah.
3:58
Speaker 8: Look, and he's already been humiliated quite well enough, I
4:01
Speaker 8: would say, in previous years. Look, it doesn't surprise me.
4:04
Speaker 8: There's leaks from the AFP, like there are any police forces.
4:06
Speaker 8: It's a bad thing, and of course it's designed to
4:09
Speaker 8: add to the humiliation as you as you say.
4:12
Speaker 7: Look, the only things that I.
4:13
Speaker 8: Would add to Nicole's comments there, which I completely agree with,
4:15
Speaker 8: is that you know, these these events are based on
4:18
Speaker 8: two thousand and nine, I think twenty twelve or something.
4:20
Speaker 8: Shouldn't there be some sort of statute limitations with these charges?
4:23
Speaker 8: I mean, how can you have so many years later
4:26
Speaker 8: these charges brought against you. I mean, of course you
4:27
Speaker 8: would not join. You know, as a young man or woman,
4:29
Speaker 8: you would not join the force thinking that. You know,
4:32
Speaker 8: even after you leave, and even if you win the
4:34
Speaker 8: Victoria Cross, you could still be charged with murder fourteen
4:38
Speaker 8: fifteen years later. It's crazy.
4:40
Speaker 3: Well. Hugh Pote, the father of Fall an Australian soldier,
4:44
Speaker 3: Private Robert Pote has question why dedicated team of investigators
4:49
Speaker 3: has spent six years building a case against Ben Robert
4:52
Speaker 3: Smith while his son killer remains free. Robert was one
4:55
Speaker 3: of three Australians killed in Afghanistan by rogue Afghans so
5:00
Speaker 3: known as heck Matulla, while they were playing cards. This
5:05
Speaker 3: happened at a base in twenty twelve. Hugh told The
5:08
Speaker 3: Daily Telegraph they've spent ten years and hundreds of millions
5:13
Speaker 3: determined to find enough evidence to arrest Ben for allegedly
5:17
Speaker 3: murdering three Afghans, but successive governments have taken no action
5:21
Speaker 3: at all to capture heck Matulla and those who proudly
5:25
Speaker 3: confessed in the Afghan Supreme Court to murdering three Australian soldiers.
5:30
Speaker 3: My son was one of them. Nicole, This is just
5:33
Speaker 3: a heartbreaking case and you can understand that father's grief.
5:37
Speaker 3: Why hasn't more been done to bring some justice to
5:43
Speaker 3: this rogue Afghan soldier and anyone else who assisted him?
5:48
Speaker 5: Well precisely, and I think that this is the very
5:51
Speaker 5: question that she should be put to every single Defense
5:55
Speaker 5: minister who has served.
5:57
Speaker 6: In that portfolio since the incident and our involvement in
6:02
Speaker 6: the Afghan war.
6:04
Speaker 5: I would love to hear their answers, and I would
6:06
Speaker 5: also love to hear the answers from the AFFE, from
6:09
Speaker 5: the Department of Defense and any other bureaucrats that have
6:12
Speaker 5: been involved in this entire reprehensible process involving our sas
6:18
Speaker 5: troops and particularly Ben Roberts Smith. And I'm guessing Rita,
6:23
Speaker 5: but one of the answers as to why they haven't
6:26
Speaker 5: pursued Afghans who murdered Australian troops is.
6:30
Speaker 6: Because that would be quite difficult.
6:32
Speaker 5: They would have to leave the safety of Australia, they
6:35
Speaker 5: would have to go to a terrorist controlled country, they
6:38
Speaker 5: would have to put their lives at risk, and I
6:41
Speaker 5: sincerely doubt we will see that happen. Now.
6:44
Speaker 6: I'd love to be proven wrong.
6:45
Speaker 5: So please, if you're a bureaucrat out there who has
6:48
Speaker 5: actually done the right thing and tried to bring justice
6:52
Speaker 5: for an Australian soldier who gave his life for our nation,
6:57
Speaker 5: I would love to hear about it.
7:00
Speaker 3: Adam, the War Memorial in Canberra has confirmed it won't
7:04
Speaker 3: take down its display of Ben Roberts Smith while he's
7:08
Speaker 3: facing these charges. Is that the right decision?
7:10
Speaker 6: Yeah?
7:11
Speaker 8: Look, I think it certainly is. There's something in this
7:12
Speaker 8: country called the presumption of innocence, and he is certainly
7:15
Speaker 8: innocent until proven otherwise in a court of law. You know,
7:20
Speaker 8: we often forget that. I think people are charged with
7:22
Speaker 8: things and then it's basically treated like they've actually done it.
7:26
Speaker 8: You know, it just goes back to my earlier point.
7:27
Speaker 8: I mean, it's been so long since these events, the
7:30
Speaker 8: charges are still being brought, and could I just stress
7:32
Speaker 8: you know, the decision to charge someone is real. It's
7:34
Speaker 8: almost a political decision when you have limited resources in
7:38
Speaker 8: the AFP, in the Commonwealth Department Prosecutions, et cetera. So
7:42
Speaker 8: I just don't understand from a pragmatic point of view,
7:44
Speaker 8: solely pragmatic point of view, why would you choose to
7:47
Speaker 8: target someone like this when it's going to have all
7:48
Speaker 8: of this collateral damage on the hiring for the forces, etc.
7:53
Speaker 3: Well more so than that, do they really have a
7:56
Speaker 3: hope of conviction? Because that's another decision you make when
7:59
Speaker 3: you bring charges. Is there a reasonable chance that you're
8:02
Speaker 3: going to achieve a conviction in a case?
8:05
Speaker 8: Well, from what I've read, no, it's not very high
8:06
Speaker 8: at all, Because you know, I hope he has some
8:09
Speaker 8: of the best lawyers in the country on his side,
8:10
Speaker 8: and to prove something beyond reasonable doubt that occurred in
8:12
Speaker 8: twenty ten. I think it's going to be.
8:14
Speaker 3: Extremely in a foreign country. In a foreign country, But
8:17
Speaker 3: the AFP would say there's a number of witnesses and
8:21
Speaker 3: there's people who've given evidence, so we will leave that
8:26
Speaker 3: to the courts. Now, let's move on to Labour's proposal
8:29
Speaker 3: to overhaul tax settings for property investors. Well, that could
8:33
Speaker 3: drive a thirty percent spike in rents over the next
8:37
Speaker 3: two years. That's according to a major real estate boss.
8:40
Speaker 3: Nathan Birch, the head of property management firm Blink, told
8:44
Speaker 3: real estate dot com do AU these changes will scare
8:47
Speaker 3: a lot of investors into selling. It's poor timing. It
8:50
Speaker 3: would be a massive shock to the market and the
8:53
Speaker 3: average tenant would struggle. Nicole Cheam charmers. I've got to
8:58
Speaker 3: say the treasure I wonder whether it is economically illiterate.
9:03
Speaker 3: He's hinted that there's going to be changes to the
9:05
Speaker 3: capital gains tax discount and negative gearing provisions. Are they
9:11
Speaker 3: just clueless about the full effects of a change like this,
9:16
Speaker 3: or are they so ideologically driven that they don't care.
9:21
Speaker 3: They're just so embroiled in the politics of envy and
9:26
Speaker 3: the haves and have nots. And despite the fact that
9:29
Speaker 3: most property investors are mum and dad investors trying to
9:33
Speaker 3: secure their financial future, they're going after that sector.
9:38
Speaker 5: Last time I checked, the main group of property investors
9:43
Speaker 5: were nurses, teachers, police who had one or two investment
9:48
Speaker 5: properties at most ritas. So yep, they're going after mum
9:50
Speaker 5: and dad investors again. What really irks me about this,
9:53
Speaker 5: though not even nerks me, disgusts me, is that Prime
9:56
Speaker 5: Minister Anthony Arbernezi said during the federal election camp there
10:00
Speaker 5: will be no changes to capital gains tax. So once
10:05
Speaker 5: again we are seeing labor lying. We are seeing labor
10:10
Speaker 5: remove confidence from the sector, and we are seeing labor.
10:15
Speaker 6: Tax people more. This is what they always do.
10:18
Speaker 5: They lied when they said that they wouldn't during the
10:21
Speaker 5: previous election campaign, and here they are not even twelve
10:24
Speaker 5: months in and going to change the rules once again
10:28
Speaker 5: and remove confidence from our property market.
10:33
Speaker 3: Adam Nicole makes an excellent point thereabout we just had
10:37
Speaker 3: an election not too long ago. This wasn't on the agenda.
10:40
Speaker 3: They don't have a mandate to make these sort of changes.
10:42
Speaker 3: The last time they took this sort of issue to
10:45
Speaker 3: an election, they lost. They lost their unlosable election. And
10:49
Speaker 3: now they're talking about it because there's a fuel crisis,
10:53
Speaker 3: there's a budget crisis. They're not going to waste this crisis,
10:57
Speaker 3: are they.
10:58
Speaker 8: No, It certainly not. But look, you said that they're
11:00
Speaker 8: ideological driven. I don't even give them that much credit.
11:03
Speaker 8: This is all about politics, basically, it's about making a
11:05
Speaker 8: change that will not actually have much impact.
11:07
Speaker 9: In my view.
11:08
Speaker 8: They're going to twiddle with They're going to tweak the
11:10
Speaker 8: fifty percent discount. It's not going to raise any money.
11:13
Speaker 8: People are just less likely to sell in that case.
11:16
Speaker 8: They're just going to hold it on forever, basically passing
11:18
Speaker 8: on to their kids. All the studies in the world,
11:20
Speaker 8: basically even from Gratton, show that a small change will
11:23
Speaker 8: only have a one or two percent effect on prices
11:25
Speaker 8: at most, and even then over quite a long period
11:27
Speaker 8: of time. So this is just to be seen to
11:30
Speaker 8: be doing something. But the irony of that is it's
11:32
Speaker 8: going to actually hurt younger people the most. And the
11:34
Speaker 8: government's banging on all the time about intergenerational equity. Well
11:37
Speaker 8: presumably and almost certainly it's going to be grandfathered. So
11:39
Speaker 8: anyone who's already bought is going to be fined sand
11:41
Speaker 8: on the fifty percent rate, but anyone new will be
11:43
Speaker 8: on say thirty three percent discount or twenty five percent discount,
11:46
Speaker 8: so they won't go in. So basically, the younger people
11:48
Speaker 8: are going to be hurt, and all of the you know,
11:50
Speaker 8: the so called evil boomers and the Gen x's or whatever,
11:52
Speaker 8: they're going to be fine with their fifty percent discount.
11:55
Speaker 3: You'll be okay, ridden fantastic. That's all I care about.
11:58
Speaker 3: Adam Kraut and Nikolf Llene, thanks for your time tonight,
12:01
Speaker 3: Thanks Na. A groundbreaking study from Finland has found that
12:05
Speaker 3: puberty blockers and hormone treatments deepen troubled kids distressed. A
12:09
Speaker 3: study which examined the outcomes for over two thousand patients
12:13
Speaker 3: between nineteen ninety six and twenty nineteen, found that there
12:16
Speaker 3: was an elevated risk in distress for kids after they
12:20
Speaker 3: start gender affirming treatments. Joining me now to discuss this
12:24
Speaker 3: further is a Rachel Wong, SEO of Women's Forum Australia. Rachel,
12:29
Speaker 3: So we've got Finland here tracking every gender referred adolescent
12:33
Speaker 3: in the country for around twenty five years, and the
12:36
Speaker 3: study shows that their psychiatric needs didn't improve after gender assignment.
12:42
Speaker 3: How significant is this study?
12:44
Speaker 10: Hi, Rachel, great to join you. On the one hand,
12:47
Speaker 10: this study is incredibly significant because, as you say, every
12:51
Speaker 10: gender di stress young person who presented to a gender
12:53
Speaker 10: clinic in fine Land over twenty five year period has
12:56
Speaker 10: been captured by the study.
12:58
Speaker 6: The study provides.
12:58
Speaker 10: Damning evidence that not when did these young people present
13:01
Speaker 10: with the distress at the outset, but this is stress
13:03
Speaker 10: actually increased after they were provided various hormonal and other
13:07
Speaker 10: gender of permian interventions. So for females the distress increased
13:10
Speaker 10: approximately threefold and for male's fivefold, which is a huge,
13:15
Speaker 10: huge increase. And this I think really turns on the
13:18
Speaker 10: idea that so called gender affirmin care is needed to
13:21
Speaker 10: address distress and suicidality. I would say the study very
13:25
Speaker 10: clearly shows that the opposite is true. But I would
13:28
Speaker 10: also say that on the other hand, this is information
13:31
Speaker 10: that I would say every right thinking person already understood
13:34
Speaker 10: to be true. We already understood to be true that
13:37
Speaker 10: you know, children and young people are not going to
13:39
Speaker 10: be helped by telling them they've been born in the
13:41
Speaker 10: wrong body and by giving them irreversible mutilating surgery and hormones.
13:45
Speaker 10: And so I think that, on the one hand, a
13:47
Speaker 10: various egneficant study, but something that should already be obvious
13:51
Speaker 10: to most people.
13:53
Speaker 3: Well, will Australian clinics take notice of this study, particularly
13:58
Speaker 3: the children's gender clinic? As you said, it's not an
14:02
Speaker 3: isolated study. We've seen other reviews and studies that have
14:07
Speaker 3: given similar results. Are we going to finally take note
14:10
Speaker 3: of this body of research in this Australia.
14:15
Speaker 10: Well, creator, I think there was no excuse when the
14:17
Speaker 10: Cash Report came out in twenty twenty four, and there
14:20
Speaker 10: is certainly no excuse now for Australia to continue along
14:24
Speaker 10: this incredibly destructive pathway for gender to stress children and
14:27
Speaker 10: young people. I think that they should really start to
14:30
Speaker 10: follow the science now, as they like to say, although
14:33
Speaker 10: scenes they only usually like to do that when it
14:35
Speaker 10: flits their narrative and when it suits them. But I'd
14:38
Speaker 10: also say that I don't think that we can trust
14:40
Speaker 10: Australian gender clinics to do the right thing. I think
14:42
Speaker 10: they've proven that they're not willing to do that, and
14:44
Speaker 10: I think that the Prime Minister, that the Health Minister,
14:47
Speaker 10: in accordance with the State leaders need to actually step
14:49
Speaker 10: in and put an end to the supporing experiment on
14:52
Speaker 10: children and young people in this country and to also
14:54
Speaker 10: stop the witch hunt of good doctors. We're speaking out
14:57
Speaker 10: like doctor Gillian Spencer and doctor Andrew am.
15:02
Speaker 3: Now to the ABC's decision to cut ties with activist
15:05
Speaker 3: group Acorn, including acon's Pride in Diversity program. This comes
15:10
Speaker 3: after the Australian newspaper exposed a string of cases in
15:13
Speaker 3: which the broadcaster's independence was compromised by its membership of Acon. Rachel,
15:20
Speaker 3: Are we finally going to get some balance reporting on
15:24
Speaker 3: this issue from the ABC?
15:27
Speaker 10: Okay, I'd love for it to be as simple as that.
15:29
Speaker 10: I think this is a huge step, a very welcome step,
15:32
Speaker 10: and a step that advocates and others have fought for
15:35
Speaker 10: for years to get the ABC out of Acon. But
15:38
Speaker 10: the reality is this relationship has been going on for
15:40
Speaker 10: some time. They have embedded a framework that really elevates
15:44
Speaker 10: gender identity over biological six and this has been very
15:47
Speaker 10: clear in the ABC's reporting over many years on women's sex,
15:50
Speaker 10: base rights and other issues like youth gender medicine, and
15:53
Speaker 10: so I think what's really important now is to is
15:56
Speaker 10: the ABC to look internally to see whether or not policies,
16:00
Speaker 10: various other training and things need to be updated so
16:02
Speaker 10: that the capture that has really plagued them for so
16:05
Speaker 10: long with gender idiology is really genuinely rooted out. Otherwise,
16:10
Speaker 10: I think what we're going to see is more of
16:12
Speaker 10: the same going forward.
16:15
Speaker 3: Rachel Wong. We wait, We've baited breadth for the ABC
16:18
Speaker 3: to wake up to reality, but we may be waiting
16:22
Speaker 3: some time. Rachel Wong, thanks for your time tonight. Thank
16:25
Speaker 3: you still to come. Left Ear is Losing It plus
16:29
Speaker 3: the latest from the US, including the CEA spy deal
16:33
Speaker 3: appearing to fracture within the first twenty four hours. Arm
16:37
Speaker 3: Horowitz is up next, You're watching The Reader Paney Show,
16:51
Speaker 3: and it's time for Leftie is Losing It Now. We
16:54
Speaker 3: have plenty of laughs poking fun at the lunatic left
16:58
Speaker 3: on this segment, but let's be honest, some of these
17:00
Speaker 3: people are unwell, including this next dude MSNBC ms now
17:05
Speaker 3: Anka Lawrence O'Donnell, who had this to say after the
17:09
Speaker 3: heroic rescue of a US airmen from hostile Iranian territory.
17:13
Speaker 3: Get ready for a dose of supercharge crazy.
17:17
Speaker 9: That brilliant rescue was described by the Secretary of Defense
17:21
Speaker 9: and by General Dan Kine, the Chairman of the Joint
17:24
Speaker 9: Chiefs of Staff, as a longstanding American military rule of
17:30
Speaker 9: never leaving anyone behind.
17:34
Speaker 7: We leave no man behind.
17:37
Speaker 9: That is, of course, the old school version of the
17:40
Speaker 9: idea back when only men flew American military planes. General
17:46
Speaker 9: Dan Kane, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff,
17:50
Speaker 9: put it this way.
17:53
Speaker 7: We leave no one behind.
17:56
Speaker 9: The General knows, unlike Pete Hegsath, that that could have
18:01
Speaker 9: been a woman they were trying to rescue, and it
18:04
Speaker 9: might be a woman the.
18:05
Speaker 3: Next time the man needs help. Let's be honest, professional help.
18:10
Speaker 3: Imagine being aggrieved by the term no man left behind
18:13
Speaker 3: is assuming that means that you'd leave a woman behind.
18:17
Speaker 3: I mean, how heteronormative of lawrence to assume anyone's gender
18:21
Speaker 3: and not count that hundreds of other genders the likes
18:24
Speaker 3: of him claim exist. The Left has become so demented
18:28
Speaker 3: and radical it's becoming increasingly difficult to determine what is
18:33
Speaker 3: real and what is parody. Apparently this next clip is real,
18:37
Speaker 3: but I have my doubts. Here a young woman speaks
18:40
Speaker 3: out about racist lawns.
18:44
Speaker 11: I can't stop thinking about how grass lines are racist
18:48
Speaker 11: and lake beaston Waite supremacy. If that doesn't make sense,
18:54
Speaker 11: that's okay, I guess it seems really obvious to me.
19:00
Speaker 11: It's really upsetting. Bring back weeds, bring back clovery yards.
19:06
Speaker 11: Can we just can can anything just be okay in
19:09
Speaker 11: its natural state? Or do we just have to weight
19:12
Speaker 11: wash everything?
19:14
Speaker 3: It's exhausting, it really is. And does she realize how
19:18
Speaker 3: racist her comments are that she sees beautiful, well kept
19:22
Speaker 3: green lawns and assumes it's a sign of whiteness that
19:27
Speaker 3: if your yard is full of weeds and overgrown, then
19:30
Speaker 3: you're not white. Does she even comprehend how offensive that
19:34
Speaker 3: may be to people who are house proud from all
19:37
Speaker 3: different backgrounds. Now to a dude pretending to be a
19:41
Speaker 3: woman who wants to be protected from women, Wait, what.
19:47
Speaker 4: Heart take? I want to save space from CIS women?
19:55
Speaker 4: How about that? What if I wanted a safe space
19:59
Speaker 4: away from s woman? We're gonna do hulla microaggressions and
20:03
Speaker 4: make me feel incredibly uncomfortable and just generally sometimes ruin
20:08
Speaker 4: the vibe.
20:11
Speaker 3: He wants a safe space from sis woman. That's real woman.
20:16
Speaker 3: Well you got it, honey, it's called the men's bathroom,
20:18
Speaker 3: the men's locker rooms. You won't find any real women
20:21
Speaker 3: in their problem solved. Everyone is happy. Let's hear from
20:25
Speaker 3: brock Collier, a they them writer from the New York
20:30
Speaker 3: magazine Now. She says, woke culture is more live than ever.
20:36
Speaker 2: I mean it feels like more fraught and policy than ever.
20:42
Speaker 2: In my social circles. There's like a slight fascistic thing
20:47
Speaker 2: about the way of what we're doing. Like can you
20:50
Speaker 2: say you didn't like this movie? Can you say that
20:53
Speaker 2: you like Lina delve Oh but wait, she dated a
20:55
Speaker 2: carp a couple of years ago, But can.
20:57
Speaker 5: You like her?
20:58
Speaker 2: And she has Chadwaite aesthetics, you know, all sharing on Instagram,
21:03
Speaker 2: like who exactly you should rank in the New York elections?
21:07
Speaker 2: And if you don't rank it exactly that way, then
21:10
Speaker 2: get out of this circle.
21:13
Speaker 3: Natural woman railing against biological reality. And this is a
21:17
Speaker 3: woman who really really should know better. This is former
21:20
Speaker 3: soccer player, the spectacularly arrogant and dumb Meaghan Rapperno, claiming
21:25
Speaker 3: that the ioic banning male bodies from women's sport is somehow.
21:30
Speaker 12: Hateful transgender day of Visibility. So we just want to
21:35
Speaker 12: wish our trans family the happiest days. We love you,
21:39
Speaker 12: we see you, we know how trying these times are
21:45
Speaker 12: for you right now, and just wanted to take a
21:47
Speaker 12: moment to say that, and unfortunately we have to say
21:52
Speaker 12: that all in the same breath as a really horrible
21:58
Speaker 12: rule that came out from the International Olympic Committee. They've
22:02
Speaker 12: announced a new policy that they're calling You can't even
22:07
Speaker 12: believe they're coining of this because it has nothing to
22:10
Speaker 12: do with protecting women. I feel like two people who
22:12
Speaker 12: played at the very highest level for every competition that
22:17
Speaker 12: you possibly could don't agree with this and never felt
22:21
Speaker 12: like this was an issue at all, the protection of
22:25
Speaker 12: the female bracketed women's category. They're limiting people eligible to
22:31
Speaker 12: compete in the women's category to those who qualify as
22:36
Speaker 12: what they're calling quote unquote biological females.
22:41
Speaker 3: Here's a little reality check, Meagan, you would not have
22:45
Speaker 3: played at the highest level if biological men identifying as
22:48
Speaker 3: women invaded your sport. No one would know who you are,
22:52
Speaker 3: and you wouldn't even be important enough to feature on lifties.
22:55
Speaker 3: Losing it. The truth is elite female teams have lost
23:00
Speaker 3: by massive margins against under fifteen boys, thirteen and fourteen
23:04
Speaker 3: year old boys. Our own national team, the Australian national team,
23:07
Speaker 3: the Matilda's lost seven nil to the under fifteen boys
23:11
Speaker 3: from Newcastle, not even the national under fifteen side. Now,
23:17
Speaker 3: in recent weeks we've discussed the comic convoy to Cuba
23:21
Speaker 3: led by the likes of Hassan Piker. This streamer has
23:24
Speaker 3: become a favorite of the left. Democrat politicians have been
23:28
Speaker 3: closing up to this character despite his quite awful track record,
23:32
Speaker 3: and that track record has become so egregious that earlier
23:36
Speaker 3: today CNN was disgusted enough with his antiques for anchor
23:41
Speaker 3: Dana Bash to say.
23:42
Speaker 13: This, here's some of what he actually has said about
23:46
Speaker 13: the depravity of the October seventh terror attack, the deadliest
23:50
Speaker 13: day for the Jewish people since the Holocaust. Quote, it
23:53
Speaker 13: doesn't matter if effing rapes happened on October seventh, like
23:57
Speaker 13: that doesn't change the dynamic for mean resistance is not perfect. Now,
24:03
Speaker 13: let that sink in. Hassan Piker is excusing sexual violence
24:07
Speaker 13: by Hamas terrorists. He also claims Hamas is quote a
24:11
Speaker 13: thousand times better than Israel. Hamas is a designated terror
24:15
Speaker 13: organization not just by the US, but by the EU, Canada, Australia,
24:20
Speaker 13: New Zealand, just to name a few. And here's what
24:23
Speaker 13: Piker said about the horrors of September eleventh, two thousand
24:27
Speaker 13: and one.
24:30
Speaker 7: America deserved nine to eleven.
24:31
Speaker 14: Dude, I'm saying it, but we totally brought it on ourselves.
24:35
Speaker 7: Dude, holy shit, we did.
24:37
Speaker 3: We did. Feels like deja vu all over again. Didn't
24:42
Speaker 3: I play that exact clip and a few others just
24:45
Speaker 3: like it? When I questioned why CNN Dana's network would
24:49
Speaker 3: have Hassan Paiker on as a serious guest to talk
24:52
Speaker 3: about the evils of the Trump administration, it was only
24:55
Speaker 3: a few days ago that CNN gave this creep of.
24:59
Speaker 14: Platform, and then I was very angry. It was actually
25:04
Speaker 14: Ben Rhodes who told me that I would get very
25:07
Speaker 14: sad when I first won. Obama foreign policy advisor former
25:10
Speaker 14: Obama foreign policy advisor Ben Roads, who was, you know,
25:13
Speaker 14: a formative in the in the previous normalization agreement with
25:16
Speaker 14: Cuba that Barack Obama had orchestrated, And he was right.
25:20
Speaker 14: It was very sad.
25:21
Speaker 12: To see.
25:21
Speaker 14: But then it was very angering.
25:23
Speaker 7: It was very angry.
25:24
Speaker 14: Inducing because I felt like, you know, there was a
25:27
Speaker 14: lot of potential on this island that we were just
25:29
Speaker 14: robbing the people of and and and it's it's totally
25:33
Speaker 14: cruel and totally unnecessary.
25:35
Speaker 3: So ha Son wants to talk about what's cruel and unnecessary.
25:39
Speaker 3: The dude who is untroubled by the rapes and slaughter
25:43
Speaker 3: of October seven is feeling sad about unnecessary cruelty. I mean,
25:47
Speaker 3: well done CNN for giving that dude a platform and
25:50
Speaker 3: not asking him about his many abhorrent comments. Let's bring
25:55
Speaker 3: in documentary filmmaker and commentator Army Horowitz. Army, we will
25:59
Speaker 3: turn out and to events in the Middle East shortly.
26:02
Speaker 3: But first, your response to Hassan Piker being embraced by
26:07
Speaker 3: Democrat politicians.
26:10
Speaker 7: Yeah, you know, I just.
26:11
Speaker 1: Want to they're not just kind of giving them a platform.
26:14
Speaker 1: I actually wouldn't have put it that way. They're just
26:16
Speaker 1: trying to mainstream him.
26:17
Speaker 7: That's the problem.
26:18
Speaker 1: Yeah, at dand Bash, too little, too late. When your
26:21
Speaker 1: organization and CNN and MSNBC and the New York Times
26:26
Speaker 1: all are trying, they're not just having them on their show.
26:29
Speaker 7: To show to see and to see.
26:31
Speaker 1: His views radicalism and his views on that and trying
26:33
Speaker 1: to say, hey, there's an issue here. They're actually giving
26:36
Speaker 1: him a place to talk about political analysis, right to.
26:41
Speaker 7: Discuss the world.
26:42
Speaker 1: They're interested in his ideas and thoughts. That's a much
26:44
Speaker 1: much larger problem. Look, he's a rock star of the
26:47
Speaker 1: Democratic Party and of chat GPT because of course, when
26:51
Speaker 1: when I went up to my good friend chat and said, hey,
26:55
Speaker 1: can you walk me through some more controversial statements of
26:58
Speaker 1: Hassan Piker, even chat GBT went out of its way
27:01
Speaker 1: to soften the edges of Hassan and give me context.
27:06
Speaker 7: Thanks, but no thanks CHATPT.
27:08
Speaker 5: No.
27:09
Speaker 1: Look, this is a guy who shared a stage with
27:12
Speaker 1: AOC and shar Talab and Bertie Sanders and even ro Kana,
27:16
Speaker 1: A guy who actually I disagree with him, a guy
27:18
Speaker 1: that I like.
27:18
Speaker 7: It shows you to pull and power as he has.
27:21
Speaker 1: He has candidates asking him to come and campaign with them, right,
27:25
Speaker 1: most notably El Sayed, who maybe the next Senator of Michigan,
27:29
Speaker 1: the guy who famously said their sadness and dearborn over
27:32
Speaker 1: the death of Romeni. Yeah, look, the the if Democrats
27:37
Speaker 1: are wondering, you know, why the electorate is looking at
27:41
Speaker 1: our party as saying, hey, we have anti Semites. We're
27:44
Speaker 1: out of touch with mainstream America. Hassan Piker is exhibit A.
27:52
Speaker 3: Now to the war against the Iranian regime, and we
27:55
Speaker 3: have reports that the ceasefire deal is already in tatters
27:59
Speaker 3: with your closing the Strait of Homus in response to
28:04
Speaker 3: Israeli air strikes in Lebanon. What more can you tell me?
28:08
Speaker 1: Yeah, look, ceasefires are in general very fragile, and yeah,
28:13
Speaker 1: the ceasefire has been a little bit back and forth.
28:15
Speaker 1: But look we saw that with the Palate with Kamas
28:17
Speaker 1: and Israel, and ultimately there was a ceasefire there.
28:20
Speaker 7: I feel like this is.
28:21
Speaker 1: Probably going to hold over a long period of time
28:24
Speaker 1: because frankly, the Iranians, they don't have any choice. Okay,
28:29
Speaker 1: it's crazy how badly Iran has played a very bad hend.
28:34
Speaker 1: First of all, they attack their neighbors, the Gulf States,
28:38
Speaker 1: pushing the it's incredible, pushing the Gulf States to side
28:42
Speaker 1: with Israel, to nearly almost beg Israel in the US
28:46
Speaker 1: to continue bombing Iran because of how scared they are
28:51
Speaker 1: on the reaction one have to them. It's my feeling
28:55
Speaker 1: that China has actually put a lot of pressure on
28:59
Speaker 1: Iran to agree the ceasefire, because let's not forget that's.
29:04
Speaker 7: A straight up hormus.
29:05
Speaker 1: The oil is not going to the West, It's going
29:07
Speaker 1: to Asia in particular China. China gets between ten to
29:11
Speaker 1: fifteen percent of all their oil from the Straits. And
29:14
Speaker 1: talk about you know, cutting your nose off to spite
29:17
Speaker 1: your face, Iran, and how badly you've played this. Yeah,
29:22
Speaker 1: China buys nearly eighty percent of all your goods, including
29:26
Speaker 1: oil and gas, yet you chose to try to freeze
29:29
Speaker 1: out one of your partners.
29:30
Speaker 7: I mean, it's crazy.
29:32
Speaker 1: And by the way, the straight up Homu's reopening, which
29:34
Speaker 1: has reopened, is really the only area of leverage that
29:39
Speaker 1: Iran has right now.
29:40
Speaker 7: They lost that pressure point.
29:41
Speaker 1: And I guess now CNN can drop the chiron that
29:44
Speaker 1: I saw up all day Rita where it said that
29:48
Speaker 1: the gas prices are up one dollar since the start
29:51
Speaker 1: of the war.
29:53
Speaker 7: I don't know if I saw the same.
29:55
Speaker 1: Chiron when get gas prices were up three dollars under
30:00
Speaker 1: by night. I think I may have missed that. But look,
30:02
Speaker 1: the ceasefire is going to allow a number of things
30:04
Speaker 1: to happen. Iron Israel can now focus on Lebanon and
30:07
Speaker 1: eradicating them from the issue, and all the dominoes that
30:11
Speaker 1: will fall from what's going on here.
30:13
Speaker 7: Is absolutely incredible.
30:14
Speaker 1: It's going to change the entire region, if not the world, Lebanon,
30:18
Speaker 1: the Palestinians, Iraq, it changes it all. So yeah, let's
30:22
Speaker 1: see what happens. But I feel like we're going a
30:24
Speaker 1: good place.
30:27
Speaker 3: Have those broadcasters, I think CNN, perhaps even MS now
30:31
Speaker 3: have they dropped those banners about what the ship market
30:35
Speaker 3: is doing and what gas prices are doing as soon
30:37
Speaker 3: as they started going in the right directions? Is that true?
30:41
Speaker 3: Because I'm hearing reports that as soon as the news
30:45
Speaker 3: was positive, those scare banners were gone.
30:50
Speaker 1: They dropped it as soon I was technically possible, that's right.
30:55
Speaker 1: As gas prices plummeted today.
30:58
Speaker 3: Well, we've got short in this country where not energy
31:02
Speaker 3: independent like the US, and the Wall Street Journal is
31:06
Speaker 3: reporting that Iran has told mediators it would limit the
31:09
Speaker 3: number of ships transiting through the Strait to about a
31:13
Speaker 3: dozen a day as part of this cease fire army.
31:17
Speaker 3: That's not going to do much to ease global shortages.
31:21
Speaker 3: And as I said, we've got petrol stations in this
31:23
Speaker 3: country that have a run out of fuel.
31:27
Speaker 7: Yeah.
31:27
Speaker 1: No, but it's not about if it's not about the
31:30
Speaker 1: snapshot of where we're are.
31:31
Speaker 7: It's about where this thing is progressing to.
31:34
Speaker 1: And that's a massive change in the Iranian position to
31:36
Speaker 1: allow any oil. And again I think this is China
31:39
Speaker 1: kind of pressure them to do this. Yeah, look, they're
31:42
Speaker 1: limiting it now that are trying to hold on to
31:43
Speaker 1: whatever leverage they can. But in reality, I've already given
31:46
Speaker 1: up the ghost and they're moving toward total capitulation.
31:52
Speaker 3: Now, let's have a look at this ten point plan
31:55
Speaker 3: presented by the Iranians and army. I can't see the
31:58
Speaker 3: US agreeing to many of these demands. For starters, point three,
32:03
Speaker 3: they want the US to accept an Iranian right to
32:07
Speaker 3: enrich uranium. Point four calls for the lifting of all
32:11
Speaker 3: primary sanctions, and point five lifting of all secondary sanctions. Now, again,
32:17
Speaker 3: the Iranians seem to be rather delusional here. The US
32:21
Speaker 3: surely isn't going to agree to all of this without
32:24
Speaker 3: some fairly seismic changes from the regime.
32:29
Speaker 1: Yeah, they had some pretty weird aggressive asks in there,
32:33
Speaker 1: including oddly at the iotoleby the hostler and that's golden globes.
32:38
Speaker 7: But actually that is problem more likely.
32:40
Speaker 1: Yeah, that one's actually more likely leader than the US
32:44
Speaker 1: agreeing for let them to continue to rich uranium. Yeah,
32:47
Speaker 1: these are a lot of these our non starters. I
32:50
Speaker 1: don't know who they think they're negotiating with. I think
32:52
Speaker 1: they're still remembering what it's like to negotiat with Trump
32:56
Speaker 1: and Biden, Obama and Biden.
33:00
Speaker 7: But yeah, I think the difference is the.
33:02
Speaker 1: Almost seven hundred and fifty million pounds of bombs that
33:06
Speaker 1: Trump dropped on their heads. Maybe it gave them some
33:10
Speaker 1: kind of, you know, weird amnesia of who they're dealing
33:13
Speaker 1: with here.
33:13
Speaker 7: So that's not going to really help them much.
33:15
Speaker 1: Yeah, they want you know, one of the things they
33:17
Speaker 1: asked for all there was compensation for their damages. I
33:21
Speaker 1: think it's more likely that Trump will get them to
33:24
Speaker 1: pay him for the for the gas that we've spent
33:27
Speaker 1: on our b one bombers, dropping all the ordinances on
33:31
Speaker 1: them because gas prices spiked because of them. So yeah, look,
33:35
Speaker 1: let's be honest what this really is about. Ultimately they're negotiating,
33:38
Speaker 1: I get it, but I think the only way out
33:42
Speaker 1: is through and what that really means. Ultimately, I feel
33:46
Speaker 1: strongly this is just going to regime change.
33:49
Speaker 7: That's the endgame here.
33:52
Speaker 3: Well, let's hope so. But that's going to be up
33:54
Speaker 3: to the Iranian people. And they've been battered after what
34:00
Speaker 3: happened in January, tens of thousands of them slaughtered by
34:03
Speaker 3: the regime for protesting for their freedom. So remains to
34:08
Speaker 3: be seen whether they'll take to the streets and demand
34:11
Speaker 3: regime change again. Now let's talk about Kiir Starma, the
34:15
Speaker 3: British Prime Ministers, being widely mocked for trying to take
34:19
Speaker 3: credit or pretending he had anything to do with this
34:22
Speaker 3: Ceaspire deal.
34:24
Speaker 15: What is the purpose of your visit here in the Gulf.
34:27
Speaker 3: What kind of influence do you think you can have.
34:30
Speaker 8: Well, we've just reached this Cea spire, which is both
34:33
Speaker 8: welcome and I think there'll be a sense of real
34:35
Speaker 8: relief that certainly is across the region and for the
34:38
Speaker 8: United Kingdom.
34:39
Speaker 11: But there's work to do.
34:42
Speaker 3: We reached this Seaspire Army kissed Starma there in Saudi
34:47
Speaker 3: Arabia talking about the Sea Spied deal that he had
34:51
Speaker 3: nothing at all to do with, He had no part
34:54
Speaker 3: in brokering it. He had nothing at all to do
34:57
Speaker 3: with the detail. If I'm wrong, Army, but didn't you
35:01
Speaker 3: find out about it at the same time as the
35:03
Speaker 3: rest of.
35:04
Speaker 1: Us In the immortal words of Tanto, What do you
35:08
Speaker 1: mean we white man? Yeah, Kiir Starmer, you had, bro,
35:14
Speaker 1: you had nothing to do with this. This is Kiir
35:16
Speaker 1: Starmer who said repeatedly this is not our war. This
35:20
Speaker 1: is the Kia Starmer who said that you, the US
35:23
Speaker 1: cannot use our basis to free the Iranian people.
35:28
Speaker 7: This is the Kias Starmer didn't.
35:29
Speaker 1: Lift a finger to help the US and said that
35:32
Speaker 1: we can't have a gen change through bombing. Yeah, Kis Starmer,
35:37
Speaker 1: thanks a lot, but we don't need your help, bro.
35:40
Speaker 3: Now Trump has lashed out at NATO again. He said
35:44
Speaker 3: NATO members had actually gone out of their way not
35:47
Speaker 3: to help with the conflict in Iran, and he said
35:50
Speaker 3: the Alliance is a paper tiger that Russian President Vladimir
35:54
Speaker 3: Putin is not afraid of. And he posted this earlier today.
35:58
Speaker 7: Army.
35:58
Speaker 3: He said NATO wasn't there when we needed them, and
36:01
Speaker 3: they won't be there if we need them again. Tell
36:05
Speaker 3: me about the meeting he had with the NATO Secretary
36:08
Speaker 3: General of the Wide House and imagine that would have
36:10
Speaker 3: been a fairly tense meeting Army.
36:14
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, Route is a big fan of Trump right
36:18
Speaker 1: famously call them daddy.
36:20
Speaker 7: Route is actually been defender of NATO.
36:24
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't think that means actually particularly tense. I
36:26
Speaker 1: gotta be honest. I think that Route kind of agreed
36:29
Speaker 1: with most of what Trump was saying, So.
36:31
Speaker 7: I think they're cool.
36:33
Speaker 1: I think that the larger issue here is the way
36:36
Speaker 1: Trump deals with NATO in general.
36:37
Speaker 7: And I can't look.
36:38
Speaker 1: You know, I will take a victory lap when I'm right,
36:41
Speaker 1: and I will do me a couple when I am wrong.
36:44
Speaker 1: And I have been wrong a number of times with
36:46
Speaker 1: Trump and kitin NATO. I remember saying, me and Frank
36:49
Speaker 1: and you know the rest of the world was saying,
36:51
Speaker 1: I can't believe he keeps saying you want to leave NATO,
36:53
Speaker 1: drop out of NATO. It's Look, it's Trump's way of negotiating,
36:58
Speaker 1: and boy is he right. In twenty seventeen, okay, nearly
37:03
Speaker 1: none of the NATO countries were paying their fair share
37:07
Speaker 1: of their GDP to the military that they contractually were
37:10
Speaker 1: obligated to do. And during Trump's first administration. He got
37:14
Speaker 1: nearly all of them to pay up, and that was
37:17
Speaker 1: because the leverage he put on them was saying, we're
37:20
Speaker 1: going to drop at new This is all part of
37:22
Speaker 1: Trump's master plan to get NATO to do what it
37:25
Speaker 1: has to do and get them in line for this
37:28
Speaker 1: new rule order that we're seeing Trump initiate across the globe.
37:33
Speaker 3: Well, this is what's incredible about the way Trump has
37:36
Speaker 3: handled this conflict. I'm continuously shocked at me that no
37:41
Speaker 3: one is waking up to his strategy. He does the
37:46
Speaker 3: same thing pretty much every time. It's the same cycle
37:50
Speaker 3: that he goes sorry to get to the desired end results,
37:53
Speaker 3: and yet we have this mass hysteria every time he
37:57
Speaker 3: becomes antagonistic, every time he makes these wild claims about
38:03
Speaker 3: wiping out of civilization or whatever the cases during each negotiation.
38:09
Speaker 3: Is the media awake now to what he's doing. Is
38:12
Speaker 3: this just all them buying into the hysteria because it's
38:16
Speaker 3: a good story. Are they genuinely in shock each time?
38:19
Speaker 3: Like they have selective amnesia.
38:22
Speaker 1: He is the goat of trolls, the greatest of all times,
38:27
Speaker 1: and they still don't know they're being trolled. It's absolute
38:31
Speaker 1: How does people have a job in media if they
38:34
Speaker 1: are so gollible and fall into his trap every single time.
38:40
Speaker 3: It's incredible, it really is. Now we've spoken about the
38:43
Speaker 3: left wing bias of Apple News, well Google is almost
38:48
Speaker 3: as bad. And the war against Iran is a good
38:54
Speaker 3: sign of how they present the news. Let's have a
38:57
Speaker 3: look at this of the one hundred and eighty nine
38:59
Speaker 3: article it has promoted on this conflict. One hundred and
39:03
Speaker 3: eighty three army. We're from left leaning sources. That's according
39:08
Speaker 3: to the Media Research Center, And I think that helps
39:12
Speaker 3: paint a picture of why so many people are buying
39:16
Speaker 3: into the media hysteria, certainly in this country where they
39:19
Speaker 3: think it's just chaos and the Trump administration is just
39:24
Speaker 3: blindly going to this conflict not knowing what it's doing,
39:27
Speaker 3: without understanding there's a strategy behind all this, there is
39:32
Speaker 3: an end goal that is that the administration is trying
39:35
Speaker 3: to achieve.
39:37
Speaker 1: Yeah, it really is incredible to me. Look, the bias
39:41
Speaker 1: is not shocking, right, if the bias is what we've
39:43
Speaker 1: seen much about this war, but anything when it comes
39:46
Speaker 1: to conservative versus liberals and becomes to social media, right,
39:49
Speaker 1: everybody in our business, your company, my business, everyone I
39:52
Speaker 1: know I deal with has faced bias across social media,
39:56
Speaker 1: particularly Google and YouTube, but certainly other ones as well.
40:01
Speaker 7: But it just confounds me.
40:03
Speaker 1: That this is where the Democrats, even mainstream Democrats, people
40:08
Speaker 1: will have a lot of some you know, some true
40:11
Speaker 1: men as a matter of respect for that, they have
40:15
Speaker 1: come out so staunchly against this war, the freeing. They're
40:20
Speaker 1: coming against a war that is freeing the Iranian people
40:23
Speaker 1: from one of the most brutal, evil regimes on planet Earth.
40:27
Speaker 1: I don't get who they're aligning themselves with. It doesn't
40:30
Speaker 1: make sense to me. I'm not talking about the far
40:33
Speaker 1: less Democrats that asan pikers and the shad Telaibs. I'm
40:36
Speaker 1: talking about the mainstream Democrats who cannot support Trump. It
40:42
Speaker 1: just shows you the reality and the truth of Trump
40:45
Speaker 1: the arrangement syndrome that even this the freeing of the
40:48
Speaker 1: Iranian people against this evil regime, something they cannot support,
40:52
Speaker 1: and they are They're not even like equivocating.
40:55
Speaker 7: There are against it full stop.
40:59
Speaker 3: Amy, how are we? Thank you so much for your
41:01
Speaker 3: time tonight.
41:02
Speaker 7: Where's a pleasure.
41:05
Speaker 3: Still to come? All the royal and entertainment news you
41:08
Speaker 3: care about, including Meghan Markel setting her sites on Australia.
41:13
Speaker 3: Kinsey Schofield is up next Welcome back now. Meghan Markle's
41:28
Speaker 3: latest move to trademark her lifestyle brand as ever here
41:32
Speaker 3: in Australia, has cast outs over the brand success in America.
41:36
Speaker 3: Celebrity pr specialist Kaylee Cornearly is tot page six where
41:41
Speaker 3: reports on Netflix's pulled back as an investor. That will
41:44
Speaker 3: likely slow down any plans to scale the business domestically,
41:48
Speaker 3: particularly when it comes to launching new products or expanding
41:52
Speaker 3: the brand in a meaningful way. She also added, in
41:55
Speaker 3: that context, branching out into a new market starts to
41:59
Speaker 3: feel less like a choice and more like necessity to
42:03
Speaker 3: avoid the brand stagnating. Joining me now is host of
42:07
Speaker 3: the Kinsey Schofield Unfiltered podcast, Kinsey Schofield. Can I say
42:13
Speaker 3: please keep Megan Markle with you. We've got enough painful
42:18
Speaker 3: influences in this country. We don't need to add another one.
42:22
Speaker 16: You know, going from cable TV actress to a duchess
42:25
Speaker 16: should be the fairy tale ending. That's a once in
42:28
Speaker 16: a lifetime promotion, But somehow the trajectory reversed.
42:32
Speaker 3: I mean, we were looking.
42:33
Speaker 16: At a woman who's using her royal title to turn
42:36
Speaker 16: it into influencer marketing, meet and greets and selfies on
42:40
Speaker 16: the dollar. That's not evolution, that's like moonwalking. She's going backwards.
42:45
Speaker 16: And honestly, I'm surprised the Estate of Michael Jackson hasn't
42:48
Speaker 16: sent a season assist because the fall is dramatic.
42:54
Speaker 3: It is quite a force. The adoration she enjoyed early
42:58
Speaker 3: on people forget that. I'm gonna tell you in this
43:01
Speaker 3: country it was enormous, as it was in the UK
43:04
Speaker 3: in the early days. Now, comedian Nikki Glazer has confessed
43:08
Speaker 3: on the Call Her Daddy podcast that she enjoys it
43:12
Speaker 3: when her boyfriend cheats on her when he hooks up
43:15
Speaker 3: with other women. Have a listened to this.
43:19
Speaker 15: I don't care if a guy has a sexual connection
43:20
Speaker 15: with a girl and like he was to use protection
43:23
Speaker 15: and just have sex with her for a night, Like
43:24
Speaker 15: I don't. I literally wouldn't care if my husband did that, don't.
43:28
Speaker 15: I don't know why, Kinsey.
43:30
Speaker 3: She went on to say a lot of other weird stuff,
43:34
Speaker 3: sort of pick me stuff. I would say, she's certainly
43:37
Speaker 3: a funny, funny girl, but I get a feeling she's
43:40
Speaker 3: a little bit troubled.
43:42
Speaker 16: I mean maybe or is this just the podcast you
43:45
Speaker 16: hit up to put your complete lack of morals and
43:48
Speaker 16: values on display? Because remember when Justin Trudeau's current girlfriend
43:53
Speaker 16: Katie Perry revealed that a clean kitchen or having the
43:56
Speaker 16: dishes done by Orlando Bloom was a major turn on.
44:00
Speaker 16: She said something like if I come downstairs in the
44:02
Speaker 16: kitchen is clean, and I'm not going to finish that
44:04
Speaker 16: sentence because this is a family show, but it rhymes
44:07
Speaker 16: where he gets a nose job.
44:09
Speaker 7: Or when forty nine.
44:10
Speaker 16: Year old show leased their own admitted that she recently
44:13
Speaker 16: had an amazing one night stand when a twenty six
44:15
Speaker 16: year old man change the name of the podcast to
44:18
Speaker 16: Golden Girls Getting Some I for one, am not prepared
44:22
Speaker 16: for the stories that come out of the Call Her
44:24
Speaker 16: Daddy podcast.
44:27
Speaker 3: Oh, Kamala gave us nothing like that when she went
44:29
Speaker 3: on that podcast. I mean that was really quite disappointing.
44:32
Speaker 3: Maybe if she had, people would have taken notice of
44:34
Speaker 3: that interview because they spent a lot of money getting
44:37
Speaker 3: her to do that podcast. Now, some embarrassing news for
44:41
Speaker 3: CNN actor Michael J. Fox has had to confirm that
44:44
Speaker 3: he is in fact alive after the news publication posted
44:49
Speaker 3: this article remembering the life of actor Michael J. Fox.
44:53
Speaker 3: A member of Fox's team had to reach out to
44:56
Speaker 3: TMZ to confirm that the actor is doing well. They said,
44:59
Speaker 3: Michael is doing great. He was at Pailey Fest yesterday.
45:03
Speaker 3: He was on stage giving interviews. Kinsey, more fake news
45:07
Speaker 3: from CNN.
45:08
Speaker 16: It seems CNN used to be the place where Americans
45:12
Speaker 16: turned for facts, but since like twenty sixteen or even
45:16
Speaker 16: before that, a lot of viewers believe the network has
45:18
Speaker 16: been more interested in pushing a narrative, add in embarrassing
45:22
Speaker 16: mistakes like falsely reporting the death of Michael G. Fox,
45:26
Speaker 16: and every error tips away. It's at what's left of
45:29
Speaker 16: this network's credibility. This is so humiliating for them now.
45:35
Speaker 3: Rap star Kanye West made an appearance at an LA
45:38
Speaker 3: comedy club yesterday, just hours after being hit with a
45:41
Speaker 3: UK travel ban, and that travel ban has led to
45:45
Speaker 3: the festival he was meant to headline being canceled altogether. Kinsey,
45:49
Speaker 3: tell me, what are folks in the US making of
45:52
Speaker 3: this UK decision?
45:55
Speaker 16: I think that Kanye West remains on than ice with
45:58
Speaker 16: Americans too. It's going to take more more than an
46:00
Speaker 16: ad in a trade magazine and an apology for people
46:03
Speaker 16: to forgive his past words and actions. But I think
46:06
Speaker 16: many people recognize Americans, they should say, recognize this as
46:10
Speaker 16: a public relations opportunity for a very weak looking Prime Minister.
46:15
Speaker 16: Kier Starmer appears eager to take a stand against Kanye,
46:19
Speaker 16: and you know what, Holding celebrities accountable is easy. Addressing
46:22
Speaker 16: the antisemitic protests happening in London week after week as
46:25
Speaker 16: apparently harder for him. That contrast is why some people
46:29
Speaker 16: see this more as symbolism, I guess, than substance. I
46:34
Speaker 16: call it virtue signaling. I'm just not buying this sincerity
46:36
Speaker 16: from Kure.
46:39
Speaker 3: Now, the woman who sold the fatal dose of ketamine
46:43
Speaker 3: to friends Matthew Perry has been sentenced to fifteen years
46:47
Speaker 3: in prison. Jasmine Sanga, also known as the Kettymine Queen
46:53
Speaker 3: among her customers, pled guilty to five charges relating to
46:56
Speaker 3: Perry's fatal overdose in October twenty twenty five. Three. Wow,
47:02
Speaker 3: what else can you tell me about this fifteen year sentence?
47:06
Speaker 16: Well, I could tell you. In court she acknowledged what
47:08
Speaker 16: she called her poor choices and horrible decisions, telling the
47:12
Speaker 16: judge she prays for forgiveness every day, and then I
47:16
Speaker 16: thought it was very compelling. Outside of the courthouse. Keith Morrison,
47:19
Speaker 16: Matthew Perry's stepfather. He praised the judge for delivering a
47:22
Speaker 16: highly reasoned sentence. He said, you know, we miss Matthew dreadfully,
47:27
Speaker 16: of course, but I also thought it was important that
47:29
Speaker 16: he said, I feel badly for the family of the
47:31
Speaker 16: perpetrator as well. Nobody won today, So I thought a
47:35
Speaker 16: lot of empathy and compassion coming from Perry's family.
47:39
Speaker 3: But a serious sentence there. Fifteen years now, we brought
47:44
Speaker 3: you the story last week of Tilsea star Chili apologizing
47:49
Speaker 3: to her fans and saying I'm not mag after it
47:52
Speaker 3: was revealed she had donated money to the Trump campaign.
47:56
Speaker 3: Now they're still going after there's now new reports that
47:59
Speaker 3: Chile voted for the Republican Party from twenty sixty to
48:03
Speaker 3: twenty twenty four in both primaries and the general election.
48:06
Speaker 3: KINSI I couldn't believe she apologized. I mean, why can't
48:10
Speaker 3: she be a little bit more like NICKI Minaj own
48:13
Speaker 3: this and not I don't know, taking knee to the bullies.
48:19
Speaker 7: Yeah.
48:19
Speaker 16: Look, I don't want to get her in trouble or
48:21
Speaker 16: call her out, but we have mutual friends, and I
48:24
Speaker 16: know she does have some conservative values. She is genuinely
48:28
Speaker 16: a sweet girl that unfortunately is fearful of alienation over
48:32
Speaker 16: her political affiliation. You know, she has seen a resurgence
48:36
Speaker 16: in her career thanks to her relationship with Matthew Lawrence,
48:39
Speaker 16: and she feels she's jeopardized that. But perhaps if she
48:42
Speaker 16: were a little more confident and clear in her beliefs,
48:44
Speaker 16: she would attract a much more loyal and fierce fan base.
48:48
Speaker 16: I'm sorry, you know, I feel sorry for her. Yeah,
48:52
Speaker 16: I think that it's a.
48:53
Speaker 3: Difficult I get it. There's a real, real McCarthyism in
48:58
Speaker 3: the entertainment industry, a real one. And if you are
49:02
Speaker 3: not of the left, if you are in any way conservative,
49:05
Speaker 3: you will be blacklisted, you will have your career impacted.
49:08
Speaker 3: So I get it. But you know, courage is contagious,
49:12
Speaker 3: and sometimes you need to show a little courage now
49:14
Speaker 3: before you go. Reports that Microsoft boss Bill Gates is
49:18
Speaker 3: said to testify before US Congress on June tenth as
49:22
Speaker 3: part of their investigation into convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein
49:27
Speaker 3: Kinsey's is a major development in the story. Do you
49:30
Speaker 3: think Bill Gates will be an open book in this hearing.
49:36
Speaker 16: I think this is likely going to play out similar
49:38
Speaker 16: to the Clinton testimony, where we get access to the
49:40
Speaker 16: material after the fact. I suspect Bill Gates will be
49:43
Speaker 16: highly choreographed in his delivery, unlike Bill Clinton, who seemed
49:47
Speaker 16: almost giddy while looking through old photos and reminiscing. But
49:53
Speaker 16: you know, I don't have high hopes for Bill Gates.
49:55
Speaker 16: You saw that interview he gave in Australia, very composed,
49:58
Speaker 16: very scripted, and I.
50:01
Speaker 3: Think it will be so well rehearsed. I think he
50:03
Speaker 3: is going to be drilled and drilled hard by his
50:07
Speaker 3: media people, so there will be no surprises. He'll know
50:11
Speaker 3: what questions are coming and he'll have some very well
50:14
Speaker 3: scripted answers that possibly don't say much at all. Kinsiscofield,
50:18
Speaker 3: thank you so much for your time tonight, and that's
50:21
Speaker 3: all the time we have. Don't go anywhere. Newsnight is
50:25
Speaker 3: up next
