0:09
Speaker 3: Good evening and welcome to the Riata Panicky Show.
0:11
Speaker 4: Coming up tonight, we take a deep dive into the
0:14
Speaker 4: ray Gun scandal, how it happened and what your tax
0:17
Speaker 4: dollars are funding and trust me, it's a lot worse
0:21
Speaker 4: than that awful dancing. Also tonight, Melbourne's youth crime crisis
0:25
Speaker 4: devastates more innocent lives.
0:28
Speaker 3: The latest from the.
0:29

0:36
Speaker 4: Woman making her Sky News debut, a woman who was.
0:39
Speaker 3: Sold a dangerous lie and lived as a.
0:42
Speaker 4: Transman for many years and of course left. He's losing
0:46
Speaker 4: it Tonight, featuring some of Kamala Harris's biggest fans.
0:51
Speaker 5: I'm a trans man and I'm gay, and I have
0:55
Speaker 5: been pregnant and I've had an abortion before and I
0:57
Speaker 5: don't want to lose that.
0:58
Speaker 3: Joining me now is new.
1:00
Speaker 4: He is called senior writer Patrick Carline and media writer
1:03
Speaker 4: for the Australian newspaper Sophie Ellsworth.
1:06
Speaker 3: Team will be getting to.
1:08
Speaker 4: The Trump Musk Chat shortly that has shook up the
1:12
Speaker 4: online world. But let's start with former Speaker of the
1:15
Speaker 4: House Nancy Pelosi calling out former Australian Prime Minister Paul
1:21
Speaker 4: Keating for his comments about Taiwan sitting on Chinese real estate.
1:26
Speaker 3: That's what Paul Keating said.
1:28
Speaker 4: And Nancy Pelosi did not hold back, calling the former
1:32
Speaker 4: Labor Prime minister stupid and ridiculous.
1:36
Speaker 6: Well, you don't want to get my description of him
1:38
Speaker 6: for saying that that's ridiculous. It is not Chinese real estate,
1:42
Speaker 6: and he should know that Taiwan is Taiwan and it's
1:48
Speaker 6: of the people of Taiwan who have a democracy there.
1:52
Speaker 6: I think that was a stupid statement with or I
1:55
Speaker 6: have no idea about Keating, but I think it was
1:57
Speaker 6: a stupid statement to me. And I don't know what
2:01
Speaker 6: his connection is to China that he would say such
2:04
Speaker 6: a thing, But it is really not in the security
2:09
Speaker 6: interest of the Asian Pacific region for people to talk
2:13
Speaker 6: that way.
2:13
Speaker 3: Patrick.
2:14
Speaker 4: She used the words ridiculous stupid twice and also questioned
2:19
Speaker 4: Paul Keating's connection to China. That is going to I'm
2:23
Speaker 4: sure get a response from Porl Keating at some point.
2:26
Speaker 2: Absolutely. Look, I think it's firstly, it's a pity that
2:28
Speaker 2: she wasn't nice about Malcolm Turnbul because she might have
2:30
Speaker 2: said the same things. But in talking about Taiwan, I mean,
2:34
Speaker 2: she's right. It's a democracy, it's about freedom, it's facing
2:37
Speaker 2: the imperial fist if you like, of China. It's a
2:41
Speaker 2: very important hot spot in the world. And Paul Keating
2:45
Speaker 2: I think, compared Taiwan to Tasmania, which was described as baffling,
2:49
Speaker 2: and it was China is not our friend. It's a
2:52
Speaker 2: mutually beneficial sort of ally if you like. They don't
2:55
Speaker 2: have the same values. And you have to agree with
2:58
Speaker 2: Pelosi on this one, I think.
3:00
Speaker 3: I think you do. Not too often I agree with her,
3:02
Speaker 3: But Sophie.
3:04
Speaker 4: Paul Keating still has this I don't know, reputation in
3:09
Speaker 4: this country where he is seen as this leading light
3:12
Speaker 4: in labor, this intellectual whose words are listen to very carefully,
3:18
Speaker 4: and not too often do you have someone from the
3:20
Speaker 4: left lay the boots in like she just did.
3:23
Speaker 3: Well, that's right, Reta. It's the left eating the left here.
3:27
Speaker 7: And I think Paul Keating is doing himself for disservice
3:30
Speaker 7: because he seems to be commenting on a lot of
3:33
Speaker 7: issues of late. He's constantly popping up in the media,
3:36
Speaker 7: putting his two cents out there. He's becoming, you know,
3:40
Speaker 7: like these former prime ministers that cannot move on and
3:44
Speaker 7: very bitter and this is showing through and it doesn't
3:48
Speaker 7: help him when someone of Nancy Pelosi's you know, she's
3:52
Speaker 7: known all around the world attacks him.
3:54
Speaker 4: Well, yes, he should try to be more like Tony
3:57
Speaker 4: Abbott and Julia Gillard as opposed to Kevin Right and
4:00
Speaker 4: Malcolm Turnbull. Though Kevin is behaving himself given he's got
4:04
Speaker 4: that diplomatic posting, but we'll see how long that lasts. Now,
4:08
Speaker 4: let's talk about the Greens. They've called for sanctions to
4:12
Speaker 4: be leveled against the Israeli government, including Prime Minister Benjamin
4:16
Speaker 4: nettan Yahoo, and they want the Albahey government to expel
4:20
Speaker 4: Israel's ambassador to Australia, Emir Maimon Wa.
4:25
Speaker 3: Senator for Tima Payman, who in.
4:27
Speaker 4: July quit the Labor Party did vote with the Greens,
4:31
Speaker 4: but the Coalition and Labor combined today to defeat this
4:35
Speaker 4: motion in the Australian Parliament. This is astonishing, Patrick, they
4:40
Speaker 4: want to expel the Israeli ambassador.
4:43
Speaker 3: They're talking about.
4:45
Speaker 4: Sanctions against the only democracy in the Middle East, our
4:49
Speaker 4: greatest ally in the region. I mean, this is nutty stuff,
4:53
Speaker 4: even by the Green standards.
4:55
Speaker 2: Absolutely. Look, they've been grand standing on this since October seven. Basically,
5:00
Speaker 2: I think it verges into antisemitism at times. They call
5:03
Speaker 2: the Israeli government extremists, but they're not talking about Hamas
5:06
Speaker 2: who happened to sort of go on massacre fourteen or
5:09
Speaker 2: thirteen hundred innocent Jewish people. It's about getting votes in
5:13
Speaker 2: the marginal electorates. They want to take votes off the
5:15
Speaker 2: alp there. It's sort of dressed up in this high
5:19
Speaker 2: minded sort of morality, but it's all about it's very
5:23
Speaker 2: basic sort of politic of the worst kind, and it
5:25
Speaker 2: does fan the flames of extremism, and we've seen enough
5:29
Speaker 2: of that already on the streets in the protests.
5:31
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it's very opportunistic by the Greens that
5:34
Speaker 4: see opportunity here and they're going after they know they
5:37
Speaker 4: can wedge labor who are desperate to appease segments of
5:41
Speaker 4: their supporter base.
5:42
Speaker 3: Now, let's talk about that.
5:44
Speaker 4: Wide ranging interview that happened earlier today between Elon Mask
5:48
Speaker 4: and Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump. All sorts of serious matters,
5:54
Speaker 4: discussed energy, security, inflation, national security, but there was an
5:59
Speaker 4: unexpected life At a moment they were discussing the miraculous
6:02
Speaker 4: manner in which Trump survived that assassination attempt, and he
6:08
Speaker 4: says illegal immigration saved his life.
6:11
Speaker 8: And I mean, speaking of the sort of slide that
6:15
Speaker 8: got you to turn that save your life? Really, where's
6:19
Speaker 8: the illegal immigration slade? Maybe maybe we're talking about about that.
6:26
Speaker 8: It was it was.
6:29
Speaker 9: The illegal immigrations dave my life an exact angle.
6:35
Speaker 8: I mean, that's that's a great.
6:36
Speaker 3: One, Sophia.
6:39
Speaker 4: Of course he turned his head at that last millisecond
6:43
Speaker 4: to look at a slide that had illegal immigration figures
6:46
Speaker 4: on it, and that's saved his life. I mean, it's
6:50
Speaker 4: incredible to think about. What did you make of that chat?
6:54
Speaker 4: It went for some time, a lot of issues were
6:57
Speaker 4: covered and an enormous audience reached.
7:01
Speaker 3: That's right, Rita.
7:02
Speaker 7: And obviously they had the technical issues initially, but then
7:06
Speaker 7: they recovered from that. It's quite a lengthy interview. I've
7:09
Speaker 7: heard large segments of it. Look, I thought it was
7:12
Speaker 7: pretty interesting.
7:13
Speaker 3: This is obviously a very good.
7:15
Speaker 7: Platform to Trump, for Trump to get his messaging out there.
7:20
Speaker 7: We know that X is, I would argue, a left
7:23
Speaker 7: leaning social media platform. It's important that he voices his
7:28
Speaker 7: views across all platforms. Il On Musk has given him
7:31
Speaker 7: that platform, and we know he was also back on
7:34
Speaker 7: Twitter himself or X today posting after what a one
7:38
Speaker 7: year hiatus, So.
7:40
Speaker 4: I think longer than that. Yeah, I don't think he's
7:42
Speaker 4: been there since.
7:45
Speaker 7: Twenty twenty maybe right, Well, it's certainly sometime since he's
7:49
Speaker 7: been posting. So the fact that he's back on there
7:53
Speaker 7: this shows that I think he'll be using this platform
7:56
Speaker 7: a lot in the lead up to the presidential race.
8:00
Speaker 4: What do you make of Trump being back on Twitter
8:02
Speaker 4: or X as it's now called. He's created his own
8:06
Speaker 4: social media platform that we're told is now worth billions,
8:10
Speaker 4: but Twitter or X is where the bulk of the audiences,
8:15
Speaker 4: and I think if you're running for presidents, you really
8:17
Speaker 4: should make an appearance.
8:19
Speaker 2: Absolutely. Look, I think he offered Elon Musk a place
8:22
Speaker 2: in his administration during the two hours it went for
8:25
Speaker 2: two hours. It's a long time to ask somebody to
8:27
Speaker 2: watch something. It was basically a stump speech almost he
8:31
Speaker 2: just talked about the Iron Dome. I mean, he's just
8:33
Speaker 2: going to make it protect America with an iron dome
8:37
Speaker 2: like that.
8:38
Speaker 4: You know what, that sounds kind of crazy when you
8:40
Speaker 4: look at the size of the country. Yes, but and
8:42
Speaker 4: also because you know, you don't expect Canada to be
8:46
Speaker 4: trying to.
8:47
Speaker 3: Nuke the joint.
8:48
Speaker 4: But a lot of Americans would go, we're paying for
8:52
Speaker 4: this sort of security elsewhere in the world, why don't
8:55
Speaker 4: we also have it?
8:56
Speaker 3: It would I think it's it would be weirdly popular.
8:59
Speaker 2: Regardless, I'm sure it's popular, But I think I think
9:02
Speaker 2: for Trump, I mean, look, it's important he gets his
9:04
Speaker 2: message out. Now, I don't think it really matters so
9:06
Speaker 2: much what he does and doesn't say, because Americans worked
9:09
Speaker 2: out a long time ago that the content of Donald
9:11
Speaker 2: Trump isn't particularly important. That's what he represents. So and
9:15
Speaker 2: he wants to get you know, he wants to be
9:17
Speaker 2: back in the in the gaze again. And on Karmala
9:19
Speaker 2: Harris has stolen some of the gays last two weeks.
9:22
Speaker 4: Absolutely, and I think there's a start contrast here having
9:25
Speaker 4: a two hour chat when Kamala.
9:28
Speaker 3: Is refusing to do interview, that's a good point.
9:30
Speaker 4: She's only talking from prepared statements on an autoque. So yeah,
9:35
Speaker 4: It just shows that contrast. Now let's go back to
9:38
Speaker 4: local news and warning, my next story maybe distressing to
9:42
Speaker 4: some viewers. Melbourne's youth crime crisis is spiraling further out
9:47
Speaker 4: of control. Teenagers are filming themselves slicing up rivals with machetes,
9:53
Speaker 4: there are all some reports. In one video uploaded to
9:56
Speaker 4: a page documenting Melbourne's youth gang wars, three young men
10:00
Speaker 4: armed with machetes are seen plowing their weapons into the
10:03
Speaker 4: body of an unarmed rival, who copped nearly a dozen
10:08
Speaker 4: slashes and stab wounds as he laid defenseless on the ground.
10:12
Speaker 4: In another case, the dead body of a teenager who
10:15
Speaker 4: was fatally stabbed in a gang knife attack was recorded.
10:20
Speaker 4: In the recording, you can hear one voice saying he's
10:25
Speaker 4: dead and another one saying he's not breathing.
10:29
Speaker 5: Ah.
10:29
Speaker 4: This is just so disturbing, Sophie. Innocent lives are being lost,
10:34
Speaker 4: families are being devastated, and this goes across several areas.
10:40
Speaker 3: The justice system, the policing, the.
10:43
Speaker 4: Effort to increase the age of criminal responsibility.
10:47
Speaker 7: Well, that's right, Rachel, and we know that's being discussed today.
10:50
Speaker 7: And now they've moved away from that to implement their
10:53
Speaker 7: lifting the age to fourteen. But we have a youth
10:58
Speaker 7: crime crisis in Victoria, only in Victoria.
11:00
Speaker 3: But in other parts of the country.
11:02
Speaker 7: Queensland's obviously been very vocal about it as well, and
11:05
Speaker 7: when people try and dismiss it, or political leaders try
11:09
Speaker 7: and talk it down, people can see through that. We're
11:13
Speaker 7: hearing the real stories, as we say in the media,
11:16
Speaker 7: these horror stories and reta.
11:18
Speaker 3: It's frightening for people.
11:19
Speaker 7: You don't want to be living in your own home.
11:21
Speaker 4: Living in fear Patrick really touches people from all sorts
11:25
Speaker 4: of backgrounds. It's not confined to one or two crime
11:29
Speaker 4: prone suburbs. It's in the affluent areas, it's in the
11:32
Speaker 4: lower socioeconomic areas. And you've got people who are no
11:35
Speaker 4: involvement in youth gangs that sort of world being caught
11:40
Speaker 4: up in it and losing their lives.
11:41
Speaker 2: Well, you had an eighteen year old the other day
11:43
Speaker 2: he died. He was a motorcyclist, kids in a stolen
11:46
Speaker 2: car allegedly, I should point out, plowed into him. There
11:49
Speaker 2: was another one about four weeks ago, twenty eight year
11:53
Speaker 2: old describing waiting to turn right he got plowed into
11:56
Speaker 2: and killed it can affect everybody, and it is actually scary.
12:00
Speaker 2: There's a hardcore group group of about two hundred years
12:04
Speaker 2: according to the police, and they're.
12:07
Speaker 3: Gaming the system.
12:08
Speaker 2: They're getting caught, they're getting bailed, and they're going out
12:11
Speaker 2: and doing it again, and they're getting bailed for the
12:13
Speaker 2: seventh or eighth or ninth time. And people are in
12:16
Speaker 2: danger because of this system. The system is actually letting
12:19
Speaker 2: down Melbourne as we speak.
12:21
Speaker 4: Oh absolutely, And I think that is one of the
12:23
Speaker 4: biggest frustrations, the ease with which these kids get bail
12:27
Speaker 4: and some of these offenses allegedly occurring by people who
12:32
Speaker 4: are out on bail. Patrick Carl and Sophie Elsworth, thank
12:35
Speaker 4: you so much for your time this evening. Joining me
12:38
Speaker 4: now is digital editor for skynews dot com dot Au
12:41
Speaker 4: and host of the media show nine pm Fridays, right
12:45
Speaker 4: before Lift is Losing It.
12:47
Speaker 3: Jack Horton, Welcome to the program. Now.
12:49
Speaker 4: You wrote a fantastic piece yesterday on the ray Gun Fueral.
12:54
Speaker 4: Your headlines set at all. I read Big Girl ray
12:58
Speaker 4: Gun's academic work on coloe structures in breaking so you
13:02
Speaker 4: don't have to, and somehow it is worse than her dancing.
13:06
Speaker 3: I've also had.
13:07
Speaker 4: A look at her work, her academic work on Sesslar
13:10
Speaker 4: colonial structures that rely upon radicalized and gendered hierarchies.
13:16
Speaker 3: Tell me, what are our taxes funding here?
13:20
Speaker 10: Yeah?
13:20
Speaker 11: Well, it's a really good point. The dancing. Let's put
13:23
Speaker 11: it to one side, because the dancing was absurd all
13:26
Speaker 11: on its own. But then when you look into this person,
13:29
Speaker 11: she has forged a career for herself at Macquarie University.
13:33
Speaker 11: It's actually just down the road from where we are
13:35
Speaker 11: at Sydney, a university which gets about two hundred and
13:38
Speaker 11: forty million dollars a year in grants, heavily subsidized. Everything
13:43
Speaker 11: they do is subsidized by the taxpayer. You've got a
13:46
Speaker 11: person who has forged this very niche career in breaking
13:50
Speaker 11: in breakdancing, and she's trying to tie it to colonial structures.
13:55
Speaker 11: Everything's about racialized theory. Everything's americanized, the spelling americanized because
14:01
Speaker 11: they need to try and publish in these americanized journals,
14:05
Speaker 11: and so everything has to be about critical race theory.
14:08
Speaker 11: And she somehow managed to tie breakdancing to colonial structures,
14:13
Speaker 11: to being institutionalized, to racism and written a paper about it.
14:19
Speaker 11: I actually think it's absurd. I think that no university
14:22
Speaker 11: which is serious, and this is a very big problem
14:25
Speaker 11: in modern academia. That I would argue is it's across
14:29
Speaker 11: not just this area, but it seems to proliferate through
14:32
Speaker 11: all these other bizarre courses where people are forging their careers. Now,
14:36
Speaker 11: I don't think the taxpayer should fund any of this,
14:39
Speaker 11: So putting the dancing to one side. You know, whether
14:42
Speaker 11: or not she should have been allowed to go on
14:44
Speaker 11: the trip, whether we should have paid for all expense
14:46
Speaker 11: paid trip to Paris, put all that to one side.
14:49
Speaker 11: Here is a person who has forged a career, turning
14:52
Speaker 11: the most ridiculous ideas into some kind of scholastic pursuit.
14:59
Speaker 4: Well, we're not allowed to show her Olympic performance beyond
15:03
Speaker 4: those steals we showed, but let's have a look at
15:06
Speaker 4: the stella dancing that saw her qualify for the games.
15:24
Speaker 4: Dear God, again, my question is how I've seen clips
15:30
Speaker 4: of her dancing in different events and it doesn't get
15:35
Speaker 4: any better, Jack, I mean, how did she qualify for
15:38
Speaker 4: the Olympic team? How was she in Paris? Never mind
15:42
Speaker 4: who's paying for it? And yes, the taxpayer is paying
15:44
Speaker 4: for that trip.
15:46
Speaker 3: How was she our representative.
15:49
Speaker 11: It's actually a really good point. Now I've gone deep
15:51
Speaker 11: into this, right, and I think there is another scandal
15:53
Speaker 11: here that everybody's missed. The woman who was dancing competing
15:58
Speaker 11: alongside her and that clip. It's a woman called Holly.
16:01
Speaker 11: Molly is her name. You can look her up on Instagram.
16:04
Speaker 11: You take a look at some of her clips. And
16:06
Speaker 11: this person, actually, this young woman, she's a very young woman,
16:10
Speaker 11: has a lot of skill. And I have no idea
16:14
Speaker 11: why we decided to send the thirty six year old
16:16
Speaker 11: academic or how the judges thought that her performance was
16:19
Speaker 11: better in this situation. Look, I'm no expert on breakdancing.
16:23
Speaker 11: I don't plan to be, I don't want to be.
16:25
Speaker 11: But just objectively looking at the skill level athleticism, this
16:31
Speaker 11: Rachel gunn Ray gun. She can barely move, I mean
16:35
Speaker 11: to be swinging her arms around doing the sprinkler and
16:38
Speaker 11: then the kangaroo thing. I mean to me, it looked
16:40
Speaker 11: as if she had choreographed some kind of act intentionally
16:46
Speaker 11: to get headlines. It's all these Australian colloquialisms. It was
16:50
Speaker 11: the most cliche kind of oh you know, gadet mate,
16:54
Speaker 11: kind of dancing act. It seemed like a stuff computed.
16:59
Speaker 4: Yeah, was none of it was executed well, even if
17:02
Speaker 4: the ideas were kind of interesting, you could say. And
17:06
Speaker 4: it was so bad that people genuinely believed that it
17:11
Speaker 4: was some sort of an elaborate joke that they couldn't
17:13
Speaker 4: believe it could actually be that bad. But let's hear
17:17
Speaker 4: from the woman herself. She was on the project talking
17:22
Speaker 4: about her art.
17:23
Speaker 12: I think my understanding of musicality going into breaking was
17:27
Speaker 12: very strong. My body awareness, my coordination, my eye for
17:33
Speaker 12: technique has been much stronger going into the.
17:35
Speaker 4: Dance, and all of that was missing during those performances
17:40
Speaker 4: and everything else I've seen now Jack, there are so
17:43
Speaker 4: many online who are now doing spoofs of regard. She
17:48
Speaker 4: really has become an international phenomenon. Adele's mentioned her on stage,
17:54
Speaker 4: Every publication from NBC to BBC is reporting on her.
18:01
Speaker 4: The world is going to think Australians can't dance. I mean,
18:05
Speaker 4: that's what I'm worried about, because they're all making fun
18:08
Speaker 4: of us.
18:08
Speaker 11: Who could blame? I do not believe. First, can I
18:11
Speaker 11: just say that anybody uses the word musicality in an
18:15
Speaker 11: interview and then talking about their skill in the way.
18:19
Speaker 11: I mean, she's got tickets on herself. She genuinely thinks
18:22
Speaker 11: that she is all there, that she's a great breakdancer.
18:26
Speaker 11: I mean, for me, it honestly isn't even about the dancing.
18:29
Speaker 11: It's the fact that it's the academic work. It's the
18:32
Speaker 11: fact that you've got somebody saying sportification musicality, and you're
18:37
Speaker 11: putting this into work to try and convince people that
18:41
Speaker 11: your work is worth being funded and it's worth being studied.
18:45
Speaker 11: This person is a teacher. They're shaping the minds of
18:49
Speaker 11: the next generation of leaders. But I don't know how
18:51
Speaker 11: many leaders are going to be studying dance theory. To
18:54
Speaker 11: be fair in her defense, but this is not a
18:56
Speaker 11: serious person. If you're going to go up there and
18:59
Speaker 11: say that you skill in breakdancing as judio musicality, it's absurd.
19:03
Speaker 11: And I do not believe that this was the best
19:05
Speaker 11: that Australia had to offer. Call me cynical, but I
19:09
Speaker 11: don't understand how she managed to win that qualification round.
19:12
Speaker 11: And I watched it, it did not seem like a
19:15
Speaker 11: fair competition to me.
19:18
Speaker 4: Well, there's a conspiracy theory of sorts emerging as to
19:23
Speaker 4: why the performance was so awful Summer, claiming she aimed
19:27
Speaker 4: to get.
19:28
Speaker 3: Zero points for every performance.
19:30
Speaker 4: And it was a part of her academic studies. Professor
19:34
Speaker 4: Meghan Davis, one of the chief advocates of the Voice
19:38
Speaker 4: referendum the Voice to Parliament, She took to social media
19:43
Speaker 4: to slam the Olympis, saying getting zero points on purpose
19:48
Speaker 4: in three rounds for an academic study subsidized by the
19:52
Speaker 4: tax payer, both at a university and Olympic level, isn't
19:55
Speaker 4: funny and isn't having a go. It's disrespectful to other competitors.
20:01
Speaker 4: I'm glad most Aussie's aren't buying the kool aid now.
20:05
Speaker 10: Jack.
20:06
Speaker 4: She had her trip obviously to Paris paid foot by taxpayers,
20:09
Speaker 4: but I don't see how she's going to get any
20:11
Speaker 4: extra money for her academic work by getting zeros. So
20:16
Speaker 4: I'm not on board with that theory at all, but
20:19
Speaker 4: it must be noted. The Daily Telegraph reports that the
20:22
Speaker 4: City of Sydney Council also gave Reygun a twenty thousand
20:27
Speaker 4: dollars grant back in twenty twenty two to research spaces
20:31
Speaker 4: for street dance. So I guess there is some taxpayer
20:35
Speaker 4: dollars to be had in this area. I'll give you
20:38
Speaker 4: the final word. Will we see more of Raygan and
20:43
Speaker 4: in what capacity? Because she's possibly one of the most
20:47
Speaker 4: famous Australians in the world right now?
20:49
Speaker 11: Yeah, I agree completely. I don't think she intentionally tanked
20:52
Speaker 11: it for any kind of fame. I think that is
20:55
Speaker 11: a conspiracy theory and I don't see how that would
20:57
Speaker 11: be advantageous. But I do think we're going to see
20:59
Speaker 11: more of her if you read her academic work. She
21:02
Speaker 11: writes about herself, and that's the point I made in
21:04
Speaker 11: the article. These academics turn supposedly independent research into self
21:08
Speaker 11: promotional blogs.
21:09
Speaker 3: We've run out of.
21:10
Speaker 4: Time, Jack Harden, thank you so much for your insights
21:13
Speaker 4: this evening.
21:14
Speaker 11: Appreciate it, Thanks for having me reader.
21:16
Speaker 4: Still to come, Lefties Losing It and Josh Hammer exposes
21:21
Speaker 4: the Democrats propaganda art.
21:32
Speaker 3: Welcome back.
21:33
Speaker 4: Now it's time for Lefties Losing It, and I think
21:36
Speaker 4: we should start with one about regular contributors to this segment.
21:40
Speaker 4: She's the MVP of Lefties Losing It MSNBC's Joy Read
21:44
Speaker 4: and here's She expresses surprise that Kamala Harris didn't pick
21:48
Speaker 4: Mark Kelly as her VP because he's so white.
21:53
Speaker 10: And I thought she would go astronaut keeping it real.
21:55
Speaker 13: He to me, would have been the safest, most conventionally
21:59
Speaker 13: safe pick uh waight uh super weight like you.
22:03
Speaker 10: Know Maynise Sandwich on Wonderbred Weight.
22:06
Speaker 4: Can you imagine a news anchor describing a black dude
22:10
Speaker 4: with that sort of language. You'd be off air in
22:12
Speaker 4: a millisecond. Now, let's check in on some Kamala fanboys
22:17
Speaker 4: and girls. Why are they backing a woman who was
22:19
Speaker 4: five minutes ago called a political liability but is now some.
22:23
Speaker 3: Sort of a savior.
22:25
Speaker 4: Let's hear from some of her biggest fans, starting with
22:28
Speaker 4: this young lass who identifies as a transman that got
22:31
Speaker 4: pregnant and had an abortion.
22:34
Speaker 10: Why are y'all voting for Kamla Harris.
22:36
Speaker 5: I don't want to lose my raights like I'm a
22:38
Speaker 5: transman and I'm gay, and I have been pregnant and
22:42
Speaker 5: I've had an abortion before, and I don't want to
22:44
Speaker 5: lose that. I'm afraid of not being able to be
22:46
Speaker 5: myself anymore because from what I've heard, Trump's America doesn't
22:49
Speaker 5: want me to look like this.
22:51
Speaker 3: So your mom doesn't want you to look like this?
22:53
Speaker 4: And here is her friend who seems to think that
22:56
Speaker 4: Donald Trump is going to make piercings and tattoos legal.
23:00
Speaker 14: Like, I'm very you know, alternative, alternative, and I feel
23:05
Speaker 14: like if Trump were to win, I wouldn't be able
23:07
Speaker 14: to like express myself through my looks and everything, and
23:10
Speaker 14: wouldn't be able to have the Persians of the diet.
23:12
Speaker 14: Here are the tattoos that I want. You know, I
23:14
Speaker 14: would be able to be myself. And my dad's very
23:18
Speaker 14: pro Trump, and I'm just very pro combl pro Tramela.
23:22
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't you know that, poor dad.
23:25
Speaker 4: Yet low information voters with paranoid delusions seems to be
23:28
Speaker 4: overrepresented of these Kamala rallies. Let's hear some more and
23:32
Speaker 4: that great work I should say here by Taylor Hansen
23:35
Speaker 4: for these eye opening interviews, now get ready to lose
23:39
Speaker 4: some brain cells.
23:41
Speaker 15: They probably wouldn't have accommodations for someone like me, especially
23:45
Speaker 15: given that I like women. As a woman, I want
23:51
Speaker 15: to keep access to my bank accounts. I would like
23:54
Speaker 15: to keep making money. I don't want to be some
23:56
Speaker 15: man's object.
23:57
Speaker 3: I really don't.
23:59
Speaker 15: It's the whole thing with Project twenty twenty five is terrifying.
24:04
Speaker 15: I don't like I read through some of it and
24:06
Speaker 15: it was just insane.
24:08
Speaker 10: It's bad.
24:09
Speaker 4: That is bad that anyone allowed to vote could be
24:13
Speaker 4: that brainwashed and broken.
24:15
Speaker 3: But there's more, there's always more.
24:18
Speaker 10: Why are y'all voting for Kamala Harris?
24:20
Speaker 16: I just it's ridiculous how anymore? It's really hard for
24:27
Speaker 16: people like us, like queer people, and it's just really
24:30
Speaker 16: hard for us to get rights, and with how the
24:34
Speaker 16: Republicans are handling everything, it's just putting more and more
24:37
Speaker 16: stress on us, like basically taking away everything we have.
24:41
Speaker 16: And it's just important that we feel safe just even
24:44
Speaker 16: living here because everyone's been wanting to leave the country
24:50
Speaker 16: and this is like the only chance we have to
24:52
Speaker 16: properly fix everything.
24:55
Speaker 4: Goodness may what can you say to that? If you
24:57
Speaker 4: allow lift us indoctrination to run unshared, that's the end result, folks.
25:01
Speaker 3: But it's not just young women.
25:03
Speaker 4: Who are being swept up by the Harris Walls campaign.
25:07
Speaker 3: Check out these two.
25:08
Speaker 10: Why are you voting for Kamala Harris because she is
25:11
Speaker 10: a woman that we need right now. Is there any
25:14
Speaker 10: specific policies or anything that really makes you vote for
25:18
Speaker 10: I just believe in her.
25:20
Speaker 1: I believed in her when I lived in California and
25:23
Speaker 1: I still believe in her now.
25:24
Speaker 10: Because she's all about the middle class.
25:26
Speaker 3: She's like us and Trump is bad.
25:29
Speaker 10: That's just Trump's bad. She's everything we're looking for. She's
25:35
Speaker 10: just everything we're looking for by the cat ladies for Kamala.
25:37
Speaker 10: So can you kind of explain that to me?
25:39
Speaker 1: Well, I think you got it right there. You know,
25:42
Speaker 1: I don't need to go any burden in the name.
25:44
Speaker 1: Are you a cat lady for Kamala? I am a
25:46
Speaker 1: cat lady for Kamala obviously.
25:48
Speaker 4: And the Kamala Harris campaign will so impressed with this
25:52
Speaker 4: next fan that they.
25:53
Speaker 3: Posted this video to social media.
25:55
Speaker 10: Do you plan to vote for Kamala Kamala and why?
26:01
Speaker 1: I kind of disagree more with her policies that she
26:03
Speaker 1: has ideas for and she's not a felon.
26:07
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's what white dudes are for Kamala. That's what
26:10
Speaker 4: they sound like and look like. As for Kamala, she
26:13
Speaker 4: sounds great as long as she sticks strictly to the
26:16
Speaker 4: script written for her. And that's why they haven't allowed
26:19
Speaker 4: her to do any interviews or press conferences where she
26:22
Speaker 4: has to think on her feet. Indeed, they are so
26:25
Speaker 4: tightly controlling every word. She utters that she started plagiarizing
26:30
Speaker 4: her own speeches.
26:32
Speaker 17: So good to be back in Michigan. Listen, let me
26:34
Speaker 17: tell you, I am clear. The path to the White
26:37
Speaker 17: House runs right through this stea unlesson, I am clear.
26:40
Speaker 17: The path to the White House runs right through this steep.
26:44
Speaker 17: I took on perpetrators of all kinds. I took on
26:49
Speaker 17: perpetrators of all kinds, and had a summer job at McDonald's.
26:54
Speaker 4: I had a summer job at McDonald's.
26:57
Speaker 17: So hear me when I say so. Hear me Detroit
27:00
Speaker 17: when I say I know Donald Trump's tape. I know
27:05
Speaker 17: Donald Trump's tape.
27:07
Speaker 3: And are we ready to fight for it?
27:12
Speaker 10: Are we ready.
27:14
Speaker 3: To fight for it? And when we fight, we where?
27:20
Speaker 3: You know what? I think? I prefer it when she
27:22
Speaker 3: plagiarizes Donald Trump.
27:23
Speaker 9: Because when I get to office, we are going to
27:26
Speaker 9: not charge taxes on tips people making tips.
27:34
Speaker 17: Eliminate taxes on tips for service and hospitality workers.
27:40
Speaker 4: Now plenty more left is losing it with my next guess,
27:44
Speaker 4: including the incredibly dishonest way the media is representing the
27:48
Speaker 4: presidential battle. Let's start with the Kamala rebrand. The far
27:53
Speaker 4: left Californian from San Francisco is not only stealing Donald
27:57
Speaker 4: Trump's policy to eliminate taxes on tips, but she's now
28:01
Speaker 4: pledging to take on big corporations, including Big Farmer.
28:07
Speaker 17: I will take on big corporations that engage in illegal
28:11
Speaker 17: price vouging, corporate landlords that unfairly raise rents on working families,
28:18
Speaker 17: and take on big Pharma and cap the cost of
28:22
Speaker 17: prescription drugs for all Americans.
28:25
Speaker 4: Joining me now is the senior editor at large of
28:28
Speaker 4: Newsweek and Article three Projects, senior counsel, Josh Hammer.
28:34
Speaker 3: Josh, is she not already part of the Biden Harris administration?
28:40
Speaker 4: Why isn't she doing this right now while they're in power.
28:46
Speaker 13: Well, she would like you to think that she is
28:48
Speaker 13: not currently in power for purposes of her policies. But
28:51
Speaker 13: I guess she wants you to imaginally think that she
28:53
Speaker 13: has all the answers come January twenty twenty five. This
28:56
Speaker 13: is Kamala Harris's fundamental problem right now is that she
29:00
Speaker 13: is the sitting Vice president of the United States, and
29:03
Speaker 13: she has been responsible just as responsible, frankly as Joe
29:06
Speaker 13: Biden for all of the policies and as you point out,
29:09
Speaker 13: all of the non policies that have been implemented or
29:12
Speaker 13: not implemented for the past three and a half years now.
29:15
Speaker 13: She is responsible for the worst economy in decades, for
29:18
Speaker 13: a formal recession in twenty twenty two. She's responsible for
29:20
Speaker 13: the nine point one percent annualize inflation rate that was
29:24
Speaker 13: reached two years ago on the summer in twenty twenty two.
29:26
Speaker 13: She's responsible for the box withdrawal from Afghanistan in twenty
29:29
Speaker 13: twenty one that made America look like a laughingstock, Wars
29:32
Speaker 13: in Russia, Ukraine, wars in the Middle East, the Middle
29:35
Speaker 13: East of tender Box. I could go on, but Kamala
29:37
Speaker 13: Harris is responsible for the horrific policies of this current administration,
29:41
Speaker 13: and she is trying so hard to not talk about that.
29:45
Speaker 13: And the media, obviously, as you're well aware of Rita,
29:47
Speaker 13: is completely abetting this. They are not asking her about
29:50
Speaker 13: her actual track record. They are not bringing up the
29:52
Speaker 13: fact that she was the borders are that she is
29:54
Speaker 13: singularly responsible, more than anyone else in the entire administration
29:57
Speaker 13: for the absolute cataclysm of in invading legal aliens out
30:02
Speaker 13: the American southern border. But she's trying to have her
30:05
Speaker 13: cake and eat it too, and unfortunately, the media, like
30:08
Speaker 13: I said, is letting her do it. So the onus
30:10
Speaker 13: falls on the Trump campaign to ask the actual hard
30:13
Speaker 13: questions and to try to break through this media induced
30:16
Speaker 13: collective bubble around her. It's really quite a mass.
30:18
Speaker 4: Honestly, the media campaign is possibly more astonishing than Kamala's
30:26
Speaker 4: own campaign. And we know she's been as you said,
30:29
Speaker 4: a disaster is the borders are. The media is trying
30:33
Speaker 4: to whitewash that record. But look at this clip from
30:36
Speaker 4: the last time she ran for president, back in twenty nineteen,
30:39
Speaker 4: where the good senator pledge to close immigration detention centers
30:45
Speaker 4: if she ever became president. I want to know, when
30:48
Speaker 4: you become president, would you be committing to close the
30:54
Speaker 4: immigration detention centers?
30:56
Speaker 17: Absolutely on day one.
31:01
Speaker 3: On day one, Josh day one.
31:04
Speaker 4: Again not saying much blowback or scrutiny about those comments
31:09
Speaker 4: by Kamahala Harris, but these comments are being often unearthed.
31:14
Speaker 3: On x by citizen journalists.
31:18
Speaker 15: Yeah.
31:18
Speaker 13: Look, I mean this is someone who, as you and
31:20
Speaker 13: I have discussed in the past three and this is
31:21
Speaker 13: someone who in twenty eighteen I believed the year was
31:24
Speaker 13: compared ice to the Ku Klux Klan here in America.
31:27
Speaker 13: This is someone who when she was campaigning for president
31:29
Speaker 13: in the year twenty twenty, she said that she wanted
31:32
Speaker 13: to make illegally crossing the border not an actual crime
31:35
Speaker 13: punishable by time in prison or in a DHS or
31:39
Speaker 13: CBP facility, but rather just a mere slap on the
31:42
Speaker 13: rest or a monetary fine at best. I mean, this
31:45
Speaker 13: is someone who comes from a border state, California, but
31:48
Speaker 13: in every position that she has ever held back in
31:50
Speaker 13: her home state in California, whether it was DA whether
31:52
Speaker 13: it was Attorney General, whether it was US Center, from
31:55
Speaker 13: that date has done everything possible to abet the flow
31:59
Speaker 13: of illegal alien coming across that very poorous southern border,
32:02
Speaker 13: and certainly her time as Vice president of the United States.
32:05
Speaker 10: I mean, anyone who.
32:06
Speaker 13: Could even look even remotely objectively, even remotely objectively at
32:10
Speaker 13: the situation at the US Mexico border would deem that
32:13
Speaker 13: the past three and a half years have been an
32:15
Speaker 13: unmitigated catastrophic capital f failure. And again, Kamala Harris is
32:21
Speaker 13: now trying to embrace this tough on border, tough on
32:24
Speaker 13: crime rhetoric. She's out there with all these ads in
32:27
Speaker 13: these heavily Hispanic Southwestern states like Nevada, Arizona states that
32:31
Speaker 13: are leading Trump saying that she is somehow like like
32:34
Speaker 13: Sheriff Joe R. Payo and Arizona that she's like a
32:37
Speaker 13: staunch border hawk. I mean, this is Soviet style provda disinformation.
32:42
Speaker 13: I mean just THATY are just lying to you. I
32:45
Speaker 13: do not know how else to say it. So again,
32:48
Speaker 13: the question at this point is whether or not the
32:50
Speaker 13: voters in the swing states, including those two aforementioned southwestern
32:53
Speaker 13: states that I mentioned, Arizona, Nevada, are they going to
32:56
Speaker 13: fall for the lie or is the actual record going
32:59
Speaker 13: to come up? And again, the responsibility for making sure
33:03
Speaker 13: that the conversation stays on the substantive issues in the
33:06
Speaker 13: track record, in theory ought to be the media. They're
33:09
Speaker 13: not doing their jobs. What that means is that the
33:11
Speaker 13: Trump Vance campaign has to break through that fog and
33:14
Speaker 13: to get the message out there. They have to remind
33:17
Speaker 13: the voters, remind them of the moderates, independence of the
33:20
Speaker 13: swing Steve voters, just how terrible her record is, including
33:23
Speaker 13: on the all important immigration issue.
33:27
Speaker 4: And on Kamala's record as a prosecutor who puts away felons.
33:32
Speaker 4: That's something they've been very strongly pushing to some sort
33:36
Speaker 4: of law and order crusader. Well, we all know how
33:39
Speaker 4: that went in California. And one of the laws the
33:42
Speaker 4: VP authored could see a pedophile who raped and murdered
33:46
Speaker 4: an eight year old girl freed in a couple of months.
33:50
Speaker 9: Josh.
33:51
Speaker 4: This could be largely because of a law Kamala Harris
33:55
Speaker 4: authored when she was California's Attorney General. It hasn't reed
34:00
Speaker 4: saved much coverage. This offender was under eighteen when this
34:04
Speaker 4: offense took place, and under this law that has been
34:08
Speaker 4: authored by Kamala Harris, he could be released from October. Again,
34:15
Speaker 4: this seems to be disqualifying on its own the manner
34:19
Speaker 4: in which she has contributed to the decay in California.
34:25
Speaker 13: Yeah, look, I mean Kama Harris's track record when she
34:28
Speaker 13: was Attorney General of California. I mean she single handedly
34:31
Speaker 13: led the charge on a multiple massive jailbreak pieces of legislation,
34:36
Speaker 13: very much including this one. She was a staunch defender
34:39
Speaker 13: of so called juvenile justice, which results in horrifica trosties.
34:43
Speaker 13: Much like this headline that The Daily Mail is doing
34:46
Speaker 13: a huge public service and actually trying to bring to
34:48
Speaker 13: the forefront of the conversation there. Look, personally speaking, I
34:52
Speaker 13: mean as a lawyer myself, as someone who back when
34:55
Speaker 13: I was a federal law clerk here in Texas, I
34:57
Speaker 13: mean I saw all sorts of horrific horrific fact pattern
35:01
Speaker 13: sex trafficking and human trafficking. I mean, my personal two
35:04
Speaker 13: cents on this is that if you are a bad dude,
35:06
Speaker 13: then you should be behind bars for the rest of
35:08
Speaker 13: your life, essentially, period, full stop, end of story. Everyone
35:11
Speaker 13: has due process, you have your right to appeal. That's
35:13
Speaker 13: bread and butter English common law stuff. But when you
35:16
Speaker 13: are a bad person at a certain point, you do
35:18
Speaker 13: not deserve parole. You cannot be let out on bail.
35:21
Speaker 13: And I sincerely worry I actually read it that there
35:24
Speaker 13: were even some people on the American Rights actually tragedy
35:27
Speaker 13: who have forgotten that a lot of people kind of
35:29
Speaker 13: got swept up in the storm of criminal justice reform,
35:33
Speaker 13: you know. Fortunately, I guess unfortunately it took really the
35:37
Speaker 13: George Floyd riots of twenty twenty and skyrocketing violent and
35:40
Speaker 13: property crime rates. I think for even of my fellow
35:43
Speaker 13: conservatives to kind of come back to reality check here
35:46
Speaker 13: on this issue. But again, it's a very, very very
35:49
Speaker 13: crucial issue for many swing stay voters. Crime is typically
35:52
Speaker 13: the number three issue of most of our polls right now,
35:54
Speaker 13: behind the economy and immigration, and as long as it
35:56
Speaker 13: continues to be the case, it is yet another issue
35:59
Speaker 13: along with immigration that is right for the picking for
36:02
Speaker 13: the Trump Fans campaign to procute the proscute the case
36:05
Speaker 13: pun very much intended.
36:08
Speaker 17: Now.
36:09
Speaker 4: We mentioned earlier that Kamalo so desperate for popular policies
36:14
Speaker 4: because there aren't too many policies on her official website,
36:18
Speaker 4: that she's stealing them from Donald Trump.
36:21
Speaker 3: Let's have a look at that.
36:22
Speaker 9: When I get to office, we are going to not
36:25
Speaker 9: charge taxes on tips people making.
36:28
Speaker 17: Tips, eliminate taxes on tips for service and hospitality workers.
36:38
Speaker 3: Oh Josh.
36:38
Speaker 4: Not only did the media not slam Kamala for brazenly
36:42
Speaker 4: stealing a Trump policy without any credit, but look at
36:46
Speaker 4: the way they report the story in their headlines. Take CBS,
36:50
Speaker 4: for example. This is how they reported the policy when
36:54
Speaker 4: Trump released it, highlighting that it will cost the government
36:57
Speaker 4: two hundred and fifty million dollars over ten years according
37:00
Speaker 4: to a non partisan watchdog group.
37:03
Speaker 3: But this is how they reported.
37:05
Speaker 4: It after Kamala stole the policy and announced it. Vice
37:09
Speaker 4: President Kamala Harris is rolling out a new policy position
37:12
Speaker 4: saying she'll fight to end taxes on tips for service
37:16
Speaker 4: and hospitality workers.
37:19
Speaker 3: Media bias. What media bias?
37:21
Speaker 13: Josh, Yeah, I mean that's just unbelievable stuff right there.
37:26
Speaker 13: I mean CBS News bear in mind, reader, is the
37:29
Speaker 13: exact same news outlet that that, for about two to
37:32
Speaker 13: two and a half years if I have the time
37:34
Speaker 13: frame right, insisted over and over again that the Hunter
37:36
Speaker 13: Biden laptop story was just Russian disinformation, and eventually CBS
37:40
Speaker 13: News buried in like the eighth or ninth paragraph of
37:43
Speaker 13: some unrelated article, they did a mayor culple like you
37:46
Speaker 13: know what are bad? Actually it was a legitimate laptop there.
37:49
Speaker 13: So you know, this is the CBS like most of
37:52
Speaker 13: the other major networks here, I mean ABC News, one
37:55
Speaker 13: of CBS's major competitors. ABC News has George Stephanopolis as
37:58
Speaker 13: their lead political anchor. This is someone who literally ran
38:02
Speaker 13: the Bill Clinton campaign in ninety two, So you know,
38:04
Speaker 13: these hacks definitely are not hiding it. Look, I mean,
38:07
Speaker 13: I'm not surprised that Kamala Harris is a plagiariss when
38:10
Speaker 13: it comes to policy, because her twenty twenty running mate
38:13
Speaker 13: Joe Biden was actually an admitted plagiarists back when he
38:16
Speaker 13: was in university. He was very much accused and then
38:19
Speaker 13: ultimately decades later, admitted that he was a plagiarists. I
38:22
Speaker 13: can't remember if it was in college or law school.
38:24
Speaker 13: So plagiarism seems to run very much in kind of
38:26
Speaker 13: the Democratic Party DNA at this particular point there, But
38:29
Speaker 13: ultimately it's kind of a refresher here. That's very difficult
38:34
Speaker 13: to kind of outpander the Democrats, even if you try
38:37
Speaker 13: to kind of put a sound policy into place to
38:39
Speaker 13: try to help out some blue collar people amidst this
38:42
Speaker 13: Bidenomics terrible economy. The Democrats have no shame whatsoever. They're
38:46
Speaker 13: gonna try to just double triple U, quadruple you up,
38:50
Speaker 13: trying to basically just panter to as many people as possible.
38:53
Speaker 13: That's how they buy votes, that's how they win elections.
38:55
Speaker 3: Unfortunately, now let's talk about Tim Walls.
39:00
Speaker 4: The Harris campaign is desperately trying to silence rumors that
39:04
Speaker 4: he campaigned on stolen valor. A campaign spokesman, though, has
39:09
Speaker 4: admitted to CNN that the governor misspoke. I love that term, misspoke.
39:14
Speaker 4: When he talked about his time in combat. Here is
39:17
Speaker 4: a little bit of the governor misspeaking.
39:19
Speaker 9: Sure that those weapons of war that I carried in
39:21
Speaker 9: war is the only place where those weapons were.
39:24
Speaker 3: At carrying weapons of war.
39:26
Speaker 4: Now, Battalion Commander John Colb, who ran Walls's former unit,
39:31
Speaker 4: is accusing the VP nominee of misrepresenting his rank in
39:35
Speaker 4: the military. Walls has claimed he reached the rank of
39:38
Speaker 4: command sergeant major with the National Guard.
39:41
Speaker 3: But that doesn't appear to be the full story.
39:45
Speaker 13: Josh, no, it's very much not. And you know, look,
39:50
Speaker 13: Tim Walls is obviously a liar. I mean, he should
39:53
Speaker 13: be thanked for the service that he actually held, but
39:55
Speaker 13: he should not be thanked for service that he egregiously
39:58
Speaker 13: and falsely claimed that he hell that he did not
40:01
Speaker 13: actually do. And the craziest thing to kind of yet
40:04
Speaker 13: again go back to media bias, which I guess is
40:06
Speaker 13: kind of our late motif of the show, but to
40:08
Speaker 13: kind of go back to that, the media has been
40:10
Speaker 13: juxtaposing Tim Walls here in America as this great military hero.
40:14
Speaker 13: While they're doing that side by side with JD. Van's
40:17
Speaker 13: you know, you'd be hard pressed to find any mainstream
40:20
Speaker 13: media article here recently talking about JD. Vance's own military service.
40:24
Speaker 3: JD.
40:24
Speaker 13: Van served in the Marines in a rack. Unlike Tim Walls,
40:28
Speaker 13: he was actually there. He signed up to defend his
40:31
Speaker 13: country overseas during the height of the War on Terror,
40:34
Speaker 13: unlike the guy on the other side of the ticket. So,
40:37
Speaker 13: you know, this side by side comparison is really remarkable
40:40
Speaker 13: if the media actually wants to tell the correct story there.
40:42
Speaker 13: But you know, politically speaking, I'm wondering if this whole
40:45
Speaker 13: stolen valor story, and it very much seems to be
40:49
Speaker 13: outright an objective, egregious even stolen valor, I have to
40:53
Speaker 13: wonder if this is going to play in those Midwestern states,
40:56
Speaker 13: in particular those rust spelt sides. There are a lot
40:58
Speaker 13: of veterans in these days, you know, Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania.
41:01
Speaker 13: There is a disproportionately large percentage of US military veterans
41:05
Speaker 13: in these states. If there was any demographic, any voting
41:08
Speaker 13: group out there who ought to and really really should
41:11
Speaker 13: take offense at this egregious act of stolen valor, it
41:15
Speaker 13: is veterans who actually did decide to fight and risk
41:18
Speaker 13: risk dying frankly for the country. So we'll see if
41:21
Speaker 13: it pays political dividends. But again, yet again, the media
41:24
Speaker 13: is doing their best to fluff it off and pretend
41:26
Speaker 13: like there's no big deal. But there is very much
41:28
Speaker 13: a very big deal here.
41:31
Speaker 4: Oh absolutely, they shoot people care about.
41:34
Speaker 3: But you're right.
41:34
Speaker 4: If you google this topic, the top search results are
41:39
Speaker 4: almost all gas lighting us that are all almost all
41:42
Speaker 4: presenting Walls of some war hero who's any questioning of
41:49
Speaker 4: his record is fake news. And then there's all sorts
41:52
Speaker 4: of question marks over vance who was actually there and
41:55
Speaker 4: who signed up to be there, As you said, at
41:58
Speaker 4: the height of the battle. Now it's not just the
42:01
Speaker 4: American media acting as the Democrats propaganda am our own
42:06
Speaker 4: nine news nine papers have claimed the nickname tampon Tim,
42:11
Speaker 4: which has been trending on x leveled against him Walls,
42:15
Speaker 4: is actually backfiring because it highlights Walls's effort to combat
42:20
Speaker 4: period poverty by putting free menstruation products in Minnesota public
42:25
Speaker 4: school bathrooms. Now, somehow, Josh, in this piece that ran
42:29
Speaker 4: for some thousand words, the author missed the key point
42:35
Speaker 4: the fact that Wolves is mocked as tampon Tim, not
42:39
Speaker 4: because he made tampons available for girls, but because he
42:42
Speaker 4: put tampons in boys' bathrooms in schools across Minnesota. I mean,
42:48
Speaker 4: I don't know how you write a thousand words and
42:50
Speaker 4: somehow missed the key point.
42:52
Speaker 3: But that's the Australian media for.
42:55
Speaker 4: You, Josh, much better than what you've got in the US.
43:00
Speaker 3: Thank you again for your time this evening. It's always
43:02
Speaker 3: a pleasure.
43:03
Speaker 13: Always a pleasure.
43:04
Speaker 10: Thank you.
43:05
Speaker 17: Rita.
43:05
Speaker 4: Coming up next, a de transitioner debunks the lies.
43:09
Speaker 3: She was fed by the gender cult. Welcome back now.
43:21
Speaker 4: My next guest is a woman who spent years identifying
43:24
Speaker 4: as a transman, but after moving to Israel and living
43:27
Speaker 4: in the war zone created by October seven, Maya realized
43:31
Speaker 4: that many of the lies told by the left about
43:33
Speaker 4: her mass extentalize about gender ideology, lies she previously believed.
43:39
Speaker 4: She's now living as a woman and is on a
43:42
Speaker 4: mission to debunk the misinformation and false premises coming from
43:46
Speaker 4: institutions that led her to transition in the first place.
43:51
Speaker 4: My poet joins me, now, now I want to start
43:54
Speaker 4: with a tweet you sent that caught my eye. You
43:58
Speaker 4: talk about pediac trick gender medicine existing because adult outcomes
44:04
Speaker 4: were so poor that Dutch researchers concluded that preventing children's
44:09
Speaker 4: natural puberty allowed them to pass better as adults passes
44:14
Speaker 4: the new gender, and that whole idea of trans kids
44:18
Speaker 4: was created to affirm the idea of trans adults. Explain
44:23
Speaker 4: that to me, because I think that's such a crucially
44:25
Speaker 4: important point.
44:28
Speaker 18: Yeah, absolutely, Thank you Rida so much for having me on.
44:31
Speaker 18: So the way I see this entire revolution of gender
44:34
Speaker 18: medicine going is essentially that these ideologues, they you know,
44:39
Speaker 18: they subscribe to a certain ideology which presupposes that every
44:42
Speaker 18: single person has this thing called the gender identity, or
44:46
Speaker 18: an internal sense of their own sex. And these idea
44:50
Speaker 18: logs argue that this sense, this internal sense of one
44:52
Speaker 18: sex is innate. And so, you know, previously when we
44:57
Speaker 18: only saw this phenomenon really occurring in adults, and we
44:59
Speaker 18: really only saw this phenomenon occurring in adults who were
45:02
Speaker 18: seeking treatments to change the appearance of their secondary and
45:06
Speaker 18: primary sexual characteristics. You know, in order for this ideology
45:10
Speaker 18: to work, essentially, these researchers and all of the people
45:16
Speaker 18: who subscribed to this ideology essentially had to claim that
45:20
Speaker 18: you know, it's inborn, that it's innate. So if there
45:22
Speaker 18: are these transgender or as it was called back in
45:24
Speaker 18: the time, these transsexual adults that exist, therefore, by you know,
45:29
Speaker 18: logical extension, there need to be these children who are
45:32
Speaker 18: also transgender. So one idea feeds directly right into the next.
45:38
Speaker 3: Absolutely, Now tell me about your own story.
45:41
Speaker 4: Why did you transition and identify as a transman for
45:46
Speaker 4: so many years?
45:48
Speaker 18: So I started identifying as transgender in the year twenty twelve,
45:53
Speaker 18: at the age of twelve. So I was really an
45:55
Speaker 18: early adopter of this identity in this ideology. And the
45:59
Speaker 18: way I see it is that when I was twelve
46:01
Speaker 18: years old, I really didn't know what was actually going
46:03
Speaker 18: on with me. I was starting I was starting to
46:05
Speaker 18: experience crushes on other girls, and I didn't know what
46:08
Speaker 18: crushes were. I thought that crush was the orange soda,
46:11
Speaker 18: and I thought that all the sensations that I was
46:14
Speaker 18: feeling in my body around other girls were sensations that
46:17
Speaker 18: I could, you know. I looked them up on WebMD,
46:19
Speaker 18: and WebMD told me that I was either sick with
46:21
Speaker 18: a flu or coming down with some kind of a
46:23
Speaker 18: neurodegenerative condition. So I didn't know what that was actually
46:27
Speaker 18: going on with me. And I went in search of answers.
46:30
Speaker 18: I grew up in a progressive city, and so I
46:32
Speaker 18: had seen men undergoing what was called sex changes, and
46:36
Speaker 18: I wanted to know whether or not it was possible
46:38
Speaker 18: for a girl or a woman to do the same
46:41
Speaker 18: and to become a boy or a man. So I
46:43
Speaker 18: went on the Internet because as a kid, I liked
46:46
Speaker 18: to do medical research. I was interested previously when I
46:49
Speaker 18: was about eight or nine in super rare brand tumors,
46:52
Speaker 18: and so I developed a certain level of research skills
46:55
Speaker 18: online because of that. And so when I had this
46:57
Speaker 18: question pop into my mind, which was, well, could I
46:59
Speaker 18: just become the boy that you know girls would want
47:03
Speaker 18: to be with? And I just type that answer, like
47:05
Speaker 18: that question right into the Internet, and it generated back
47:08
Speaker 18: results from me seeing that it was indeed possible.
47:14
Speaker 4: Wow, that's incredible, And so many seem to be finding
47:18
Speaker 4: their way into this world via the Internet social media
47:22
Speaker 4: in particular. Now, how is trans ideology reinforcing some of
47:27
Speaker 4: these outdated gender stereotypes.
47:29
Speaker 3: I mean, when I was growing up, you could be
47:32
Speaker 3: a tomboy, that was fine.
47:33
Speaker 4: Nobody suggested you were in the wrong body or you
47:36
Speaker 4: needed puberty blockers and possibly a double misseectomy down the line.
47:41
Speaker 4: But there seems to be now if a boy is effeminate,
47:45
Speaker 4: likes the color pink, he may actually be a girl
47:47
Speaker 4: and vice versa.
47:48
Speaker 3: And it seems so backward.
47:52
Speaker 10: It's extremely backward.
47:54
Speaker 18: And I think that where it comes from is that
47:57
Speaker 18: in general, you know, society seems to not take super
48:02
Speaker 18: kindly to children or to adults who sort of buck norms.
48:07
Speaker 18: And I think that the framework of gender ideology gives
48:12
Speaker 18: people some kind of a conceptual understanding of why there
48:15
Speaker 18: are certain people who tend to be very non conforming
48:18
Speaker 18: from a young age. And so I think that you know,
48:21
Speaker 18: when I was looking up this content online and I
48:23
Speaker 18: saw it as a kid, the way that trans was defined,
48:27
Speaker 18: or the way that this sort of ineffable, unprovable male
48:31
Speaker 18: gender identity was described, was you know, just to the
48:35
Speaker 18: te describing experiences that a lot of young girls face,
48:39
Speaker 18: including discomfort with puberty, which is extremely natural. And also,
48:43
Speaker 18: you know, it's particularly relevant for girls who grew up
48:45
Speaker 18: to be same sex attracted. You know, the types of
48:47
Speaker 18: gender non conforming behavior that a lot of gays and
48:51
Speaker 18: lesbians are sort of known to have engaged in as children.
48:55
Speaker 18: And it seems as if for the last you know,
48:57
Speaker 18: at least a few decades. I mean, I just turned
48:59
Speaker 18: twenty five, so I don't have that much understanding of
49:02
Speaker 18: how parents were parenting their kids twenty thirty years ago.
49:05
Speaker 18: But from my understanding, a lot of parents sort of
49:08
Speaker 18: knew what the likely trajectory of these very nonconforming kids was,
49:12
Speaker 18: and a lot of the studies that were done under
49:14
Speaker 18: the watchful waiting protocol before we medicalize these kids showed
49:18
Speaker 18: that the long term outcomes were that if you don't
49:20
Speaker 18: come near these kids with the injections of the scalpels,
49:23
Speaker 18: most of them, the vast majority, will grow up to
49:26
Speaker 18: be happy gay men and lesbians, and we seem to
49:29
Speaker 18: have just forgotten that wisdom.
49:30
Speaker 4: My poet, thank you so much for your time, and
49:32
Speaker 4: that's it from May. Up next is Newsnight. I'll see
49:35
Speaker 4: you at eleven tomorrow
