0:56
Speaker 4: For first tonight.
0:57
Speaker 3: Joining me is Senior Fellow and Chief Economist at the
0:59
Speaker 3: Institute of Public Affairs, Adam Crichton. Adam, good to see you,
1:02
Speaker 3: Thanks for joining me. Let's start with Maverick MP Bob Catter,
1:06
Speaker 3: who has exploded at a Brisbane Press conference after being
1:10
Speaker 3: asked about his Lebanese heritage. Now, mister Katta had used
1:13
Speaker 3: this event to argue that migrants in Sydney and Melbourne
1:16
Speaker 3: were failing to embrace Ossie culture. And here is his
1:20
Speaker 3: exchange with Channel nine reporter Josh Bavis.
1:24
Speaker 4: If you've got Lebanese heritage yourself.
1:26
Speaker 6: Oh, Mike, don't say that because that irritates me. And
1:30
Speaker 6: I've punch blokes in the mouth for saying that. Don't
1:33
Speaker 6: you dare say that? My family have been in this
1:36
Speaker 6: country for one hundred and forty years, right, so you
1:40
Speaker 6: and you say anything like that, I have on many
1:43
Speaker 6: occasions punch bloods in the mouth. Right, So I'm restraining
1:46
Speaker 6: myself today.
1:47
Speaker 5: They're a racist.
1:49
Speaker 6: You cannot say what you just said without being identified.
1:53
Speaker 5: As a racist.
1:54
Speaker 6: Some gentleman, ladies, this man is a racist. Don't listen
1:58
Speaker 6: to employees. Well, dumbey at the freedom.
2:00
Speaker 7: That even finished here?
2:02
Speaker 4: Howdam he didn't hold back? What do you think? Look?
2:07
Speaker 7: So look, I think for a long time Bob Catter
2:10
Speaker 7: has beat an adornment kind of in the Parliament. He's
2:12
Speaker 7: a very volatile character, somewhat irascible sometimes as we saw there.
2:16
Speaker 5: Look, I think the basic point he was.
2:18
Speaker 7: Trying to make is that we need to encourage new
2:20
Speaker 7: migrants to assimilate into Australian culture. That's something that he
2:22
Speaker 7: obviously feels very strongly about. He doesn't like the fact
2:27
Speaker 7: that he allegedly has Lebanese background of many generations ago.
2:32
Speaker 7: He clearly doesn't like to talk about that. On the
2:35
Speaker 7: other hand, I think it was a bit unfair of
2:36
Speaker 7: him to call the reporter racist. I don't think the
2:39
Speaker 7: reporter was making a racist point. But look, this issue
2:43
Speaker 7: is increasingly volatile, you know, and somewhat divisive. We do
2:46
Speaker 7: have a huge influx of immigrancy to the country and
2:49
Speaker 7: I think it's probably fair to say that some of
2:51
Speaker 7: them don't buy into Australian values. And I think that's
2:54
Speaker 7: the point that Bob was trying to make, that he
2:57
Speaker 7: would like to see more buying into Australian values and
3:00
Speaker 7: we currently see.
3:01
Speaker 3: And I think he's absolutely spot on. There's a lot
3:02
Speaker 3: of people have been brought here with welcome ams, some
3:05
Speaker 3: who hate us and some who don't want to assimilate,
3:07
Speaker 3: So I think he's spot on.
3:09
Speaker 4: Now, look, let's talk about AZO.
3:11
Speaker 3: In the situation with Iran, the intelligence agency is actively
3:14
Speaker 3: now investigating whether an attack on the former Sydney home
3:18
Speaker 3: of Jewish leader Alex Ripchen was ordered by Iran, a
3:21
Speaker 3: mid warnings that Tehran could be behind many more anti
3:25
Speaker 3: Semitic crimes in Australia, in addition to the fire bombings
3:28
Speaker 3: of the Adas Synagogue and a Kosher cafe in Sydney.
3:30
Speaker 3: Despite this, we know that the Albanesi government was aware
3:33
Speaker 3: of Iran's hand in anti Semitic terror attacks in Australia
3:37
Speaker 3: for months before it finally moved against the regime. But
3:40
Speaker 3: it also failed to act on calls to list Iran's
3:42
Speaker 3: Revolutionary Guard Corps as a terror group. Adam Labour's equivocated,
3:47
Speaker 3: and here we are. Albo says it's up to law enforcement. Well,
3:50
Speaker 3: I would say, well, hang on, what about leadership.
3:54
Speaker 7: Yeah, Look, I think it's a fair point. I think,
3:56
Speaker 7: you know, as these facts come out, I think it's
3:57
Speaker 7: more and more clear that they could have acted earlier
4:00
Speaker 7: and it's not like this. You know, these are the
4:02
Speaker 7: first accusations against Iran, I think. In twenty twenty two
4:04
Speaker 7: and tween twenty three, we also heard from Azio that
4:08
Speaker 7: there were reports that Iranian authorities were surveilling Iranians in
4:12
Speaker 7: Australia and acting in various illegal ways. So I think
4:16
Speaker 7: there was a lot of evidence there they could have
4:18
Speaker 7: acted sooner. But look, I think credit to the government
4:20
Speaker 7: for booting out the ambassador. I think that was the
4:22
Speaker 7: right decision. I mean, it's a fairly extreme decision. In
4:25
Speaker 7: the diplomatic world, it doesn't happen very often, but I
4:28
Speaker 7: think it's justified in this case.
4:30
Speaker 5: You know, but I can.
4:31
Speaker 7: Understand, you know, the anger and the Jewish community at
4:33
Speaker 7: the government over this, and just how long it's you know,
4:36
Speaker 7: it's taken to react. I think, you know, if there's
4:38
Speaker 7: any kind of silver lining to this at all, and
4:40
Speaker 7: of course it's all absolutely horrible, it's just that these
4:43
Speaker 7: events were not seemingly homegrown. They were orchestrated by a
4:47
Speaker 7: foreign power which was acting illegally in Australia.
4:50
Speaker 5: And you know that is that I suppose.
4:52
Speaker 7: You know, because there have a whole range of laws
4:55
Speaker 7: in Australia past, various crackdowns on free speech in Victoria
4:58
Speaker 7: and New South Wales in the wake of the Bollings.
5:01
Speaker 7: But now we know more it was actually orchestrated by
5:03
Speaker 7: Iran So so you know, maybe we could look back
5:06
Speaker 7: at this legislation that we've since passed.
5:08
Speaker 4: Yeah, look, that's that's a fair point.
5:10
Speaker 3: Now, there's been a lot of confusion about whether Defense
5:12
Speaker 3: Minister Richard Miles had a formal meeting with his US
5:15
Speaker 3: counterpart Pete HeiG Seth. Miles's office published an Instagram post
5:19
Speaker 3: showing the two of them together alongside the US Vice
5:22
Speaker 3: President JD.
5:23
Speaker 4: Varnce, but a US.
5:25
Speaker 3: Official soon after said that we can confirm that there
5:27
Speaker 3: was no meeting.
5:28
Speaker 4: It was a happenstance encounter.
5:31
Speaker 3: And now the chief Pentagon spokesperson, Sean Parnell has told
5:34
Speaker 3: The Guardian that the encounter was in fact a meeting,
5:37
Speaker 3: walking back that previous statement and confirming it was coordinated
5:40
Speaker 3: in advance. Adam, look, I'm so confused here. I don't
5:43
Speaker 3: know what on earth is going on? Says what, But
5:47
Speaker 3: you know, it just goes to the point that if
5:49
Speaker 3: there was a meeting, he gets a meeting, but Donald
5:51
Speaker 3: Trump still can't get a meeting with the US president
5:55
Speaker 3: at the Abez starry A.
5:56
Speaker 7: Certainly, this this suggests to me that there's at least
6:00
Speaker 7: some elements in the US administration that don't like Australia
6:03
Speaker 7: very much.
6:04
Speaker 4: At the moment.
6:04
Speaker 7: I mean, it was quite pointed to issue that statement
6:06
Speaker 7: that there was no meeting, because it was so humiliating
6:10
Speaker 7: for the deputy Prime Minister, who obviously had gone all
6:12
Speaker 7: the way to Washington to see the Defense Secretary and
6:15
Speaker 7: you know he saw him for a photo op, it seemed,
6:17
Speaker 7: but it was a pretty marginal meeting if there was one.
6:21
Speaker 7: And you know, I think this just reflects on some
6:24
Speaker 7: desperation I would say with the Albertazi government at the
6:27
Speaker 7: moment to shore up their relationship with the Trump administration.
6:31
Speaker 7: I think they're getting a lot of media pressure over
6:32
Speaker 7: the issue, and quite justifiably, I would say, I mean,
6:35
Speaker 7: there's still been no meeting with the US President from
6:38
Speaker 7: the Australian prime minists with the Australian Prime ministruction say,
6:41
Speaker 7: and he's practically met with all of the other G
6:43
Speaker 7: twenty leaders.
6:44
Speaker 5: I understand.
6:44
Speaker 7: There's only a handful of countries where the head of
6:47
Speaker 7: state has not met has not met the US president,
6:50
Speaker 7: and we are one of those, and yet we're supposed
6:52
Speaker 7: to be the top ally of the United States.
6:54
Speaker 5: That is rather embarrassing.
6:55
Speaker 4: I would say, it's completely embarrassing.
6:57
Speaker 3: As more time goes on, it just gets worse now
7:00
Speaker 3: to the bush summer in Woggle Wogga. It blew up
7:02
Speaker 3: yesterday as Nationals MP Barnaby Joyce clashed with Clean Energy
7:06
Speaker 3: Council spokesperson Chris o'keef in a fiery debate.
7:09
Speaker 4: Here's how it went down.
7:11
Speaker 7: What beach in Sydney do you want an intermitted power
7:13
Speaker 7: breathing off?
7:14
Speaker 8: I mean, if it's so virtuous, why can't you have
7:16
Speaker 8: them on on North edd or Middle Harbor?
7:18
Speaker 7: Why do you have to put your filth in our background?
7:21
Speaker 9: Let me ask you that seriously, is there a reason
7:23
Speaker 9: we can't have them off Bondo Beach?
7:25
Speaker 10: Talk about offshore, the issue of bond.
7:29
Speaker 11: This is a resources industry and you are looking for
7:32
Speaker 11: resource and wind is the resource.
7:34
Speaker 12: And in regional Australia we have an abundance of sun
7:37
Speaker 12: and a bundy that.
7:38
Speaker 10: It doesn't shine in Sydney, the wind doesn't blow, and
7:41
Speaker 10: why how don't you.
7:42
Speaker 5: Go off Sydney?
7:43
Speaker 2: But there is no proposal because why.
7:45
Speaker 10: Don't you just transmission Let's just talk about it biocraphy,
7:51
Speaker 10: you talk about it because overwhelming off the beach, you're
7:56
Speaker 10: worried about your furf around you virtue.
7:58
Speaker 2: Okay, we're not getting anywhere of this.
8:00
Speaker 4: Adam Barbie Joyce is speaking for the regions.
8:03
Speaker 3: They're the ones suffering from this net zero really is
8:06
Speaker 3: bad to see.
8:06
Speaker 4: I mean, do you think he's right?
8:09
Speaker 7: Yeah, Look, I think he is right. And I think
8:11
Speaker 7: one of the great virtues of this push summit, I
8:12
Speaker 7: might say, is that people in the cities are getting
8:15
Speaker 7: to understand and getting to learn about the challenges that
8:18
Speaker 7: are being faced by various farmers from new legislation, from
8:21
Speaker 7: the rollout of wind and solar panels, etc. And I
8:25
Speaker 7: think on this issue he's absolutely right. It's also worth
8:27
Speaker 7: pointing out that Chris o'kief is now a paid lobbyist,
8:30
Speaker 7: whereas Barnaby Joyce is a politician who is paid by
8:32
Speaker 7: the taxpayer. So that makes one far more independent, I
8:35
Speaker 7: would say, than the other. So just in terms of
8:38
Speaker 7: these arguments, if you're a viewer out there and you're wondering,
8:39
Speaker 7: you know who should I believe here, Well, you should
8:41
Speaker 7: probably believe the independent person, not the person who is
8:43
Speaker 7: paid by the wind industry to make those arguments. But
8:47
Speaker 7: you know, there are serious challenges at the moment being
8:49
Speaker 7: faced by farmers in Victoria, for instance, the Parliament just
8:51
Speaker 7: this week, I believe was about to pass a law
8:53
Speaker 7: that will mean that essentially wind turbines can be installed
8:57
Speaker 7: on farms where the farmers don't even want them. Mean,
9:00
Speaker 7: that could be a slight simplification, but this is what's
9:02
Speaker 7: happening around the country, and you know, it's very devastating
9:05
Speaker 7: for the regions. I think that they've had enough.
9:08
Speaker 3: Yeah, they absolutely have have had enough of you know,
9:10
Speaker 3: people tearing up the land, all in the name of
9:12
Speaker 3: climate change. Now, Liberal Senator Linda Reynolds has been vindicated
9:16
Speaker 3: after the WA Supreme Court found posts by former staffer
9:19
Speaker 3: Britney Higgins made about her word defamatory, awarding damages of
9:23
Speaker 3: three hundred and fifteen thousand plus twenty six thousand in interest,
9:26
Speaker 3: and the cost is still to be determined. Britney Higgins
9:29
Speaker 3: has posted, I accept that Linda reynolds feelings were hurt
9:31
Speaker 3: by these events and I'm sorry for that. I wish
9:33
Speaker 3: her well into the future. Adam, I've got to say,
9:36
Speaker 3: Linda Reynolds had nothing to lose here. She spent a
9:38
Speaker 3: lot of money, a lot of time, four years actually
9:41
Speaker 3: clearing her name and she got it.
9:43
Speaker 7: Yes, no, look it's great and you know a full
9:46
Speaker 7: credit to her. I mean, she took a big financial risk.
9:48
Speaker 7: I think she had to read mortgage a house and
9:50
Speaker 7: you know it's paid off for her. You know, it's
9:52
Speaker 7: been shown that she effectively did nothing wrong and I
9:54
Speaker 7: think the decision makes makes Britney Higgins, you know, look
9:58
Speaker 7: pretty bad. I would say, although that that said, she
10:00
Speaker 7: did issue fairly gracious statement there that you just read out,
10:04
Speaker 7: so I think that is creditable. But look the whole
10:07
Speaker 7: you know, let's just hope that this is the last
10:09
Speaker 7: chapter of this you know, very sorry sordid saga in
10:11
Speaker 7: Australian political history. It's really blown up in everyone's face.
10:15
Speaker 7: As I would say, you know, this was the high
10:16
Speaker 7: point of the Me too movement back in twenty nineteen.
10:19
Speaker 7: There was a shocking allegation which I'm not sure has
10:22
Speaker 7: ever been proved in a court.
10:23
Speaker 5: I don't think it has.
10:24
Speaker 7: But nevertheless, a shocking allegation was made, you know, about
10:27
Speaker 7: what happened to Britney Higgins back in twenty nineteen, and
10:30
Speaker 7: of course politics was injected into it, and then it
10:32
Speaker 7: just became an absolute disaster for the courts, for the
10:35
Speaker 7: political class, for the media class. Everyone effectively came out
10:38
Speaker 7: of this looking absolutely terrible, and I think there are
10:41
Speaker 7: lessons there. And look, I wish Britney Higgins, well I
10:43
Speaker 7: don't know her, but you know it's been a pretty
10:45
Speaker 7: crushing time for her, I would say.
10:47
Speaker 3: Yeah, and every single person involved in this, their lives
10:50
Speaker 3: have been destroyed and ripped up somehow. It's been like
10:53
Speaker 3: a spider web. So yeah, look, hopefully this is the
10:56
Speaker 3: end of this long sorry saga. Adam Crichton, great to see,
10:59
Speaker 3: Thanks so much for your time.
11:02
Speaker 7: Thanks very much.
11:03
Speaker 3: Well, the ABC seemingly does not want to talk about
11:06
Speaker 3: big Australia getting bigger. Now we know more than one
11:09
Speaker 3: million migrants have come into this country since Labor was elected,
11:13
Speaker 3: and the records keep racking up. This week, two GB
11:16
Speaker 3: hosts Ben Forden reported that fifteen.
11:19
Speaker 4: Hundred migrants are coming into the country every.
11:21
Speaker 3: Day, but ABC's Media Watch disagreed, claiming they'd spoken to
11:25
Speaker 3: the experts who assured them that rather than being overwhelmed
11:30
Speaker 3: by migrants, in fact we're getting fewer.
11:33
Speaker 9: Where did the fifteen hundred a day figure come from?
11:37
Speaker 9: Best we can see, it came courtesy of the Institute
11:40
Speaker 9: of Public Affairs, a conservative think tank, which eleven days
11:44
Speaker 9: ago warned Australia's economy was being pummeled by excessive migration,
11:50
Speaker 9: all on the basis of data published by the Australian
11:53
Speaker 9: Bureau Statistics. But most inconvenient for the media was this
11:58
Speaker 9: little disclaimer from the.
12:00
Speaker 13: This data does not reflect the official ABS definition of
12:04
Speaker 13: migration and may lead to inaccurate interpretations and should not
12:09
Speaker 13: be used as a measure of overseas migration.
12:12
Speaker 3: But as respected economist Leith van Onslan points out, the
12:16
Speaker 3: Australian Bureau of Statistics attempted censorship of the migration debate
12:20
Speaker 3: receives support from ABC's Media Watch, which attacked so called
12:24
Speaker 3: right wing media outlets for raising alarm at the astronomical
12:28
Speaker 3: numbers of net migrants landing in Australia, which are higher
12:32
Speaker 3: than anything Australia experienced before the pandemic. He went on
12:36
Speaker 3: to say, the fact remains that the net permanent and
12:39
Speaker 3: long term arrivals figure was the highest for the first.
12:42
Speaker 4: Six months of any year in Australian history.
12:46
Speaker 3: Joining me now is journalist and author Kel Richards Kel, Nice.
12:49
Speaker 4: To see you again.
12:51
Speaker 3: Why do you think that the abcage is so scared
12:53
Speaker 3: to talk about Big Australia getting bigger.
12:56
Speaker 14: Well, you've got a bear in mind. The HEBC now
12:58
Speaker 14: has an ideological position. They did get to the point
13:01
Speaker 14: of saying to their staff you can express opinions and
13:04
Speaker 14: their public servants and public servants are buy and large
13:07
Speaker 14: left wing, so they express left wing opinions. The problem
13:10
Speaker 14: is if you go down the left wing road, it's
13:12
Speaker 14: a package. You have to take everything in the package.
13:16
Speaker 14: And if the package says no, no, Australia has to
13:19
Speaker 14: get bigger and we have to take all these people
13:21
Speaker 14: from overseas because for whatever reason, then you have to
13:25
Speaker 14: say that it's part of the package. It reminds me
13:29
Speaker 14: a bit of how they vote in left wing factions.
13:32
Speaker 14: In the ALP, they use a show and tell method.
13:35
Speaker 14: That is, you write your vote on a bit of
13:37
Speaker 14: paper and fold it up, but then you show it
13:39
Speaker 14: to the factional leader before you put it in the
13:41
Speaker 14: ballot box. The left works like that. The left works
13:44
Speaker 14: on this is the package and everyone has to back
13:46
Speaker 14: the package. That's what's happened in the ABC. The package
13:50
Speaker 14: includes because we've got a government which wants a lot
13:52
Speaker 14: of people coming in, because that bumps up GDP because
13:55
Speaker 14: they want that. Therefore they've got it doesn't matter what
13:58
Speaker 14: the facts are. There's a dispute about is the government
14:02
Speaker 14: leaning on the Australium Bureau Statistics in order to get
14:06
Speaker 14: them to hose down the figures? Is this an attempt
14:08
Speaker 14: a censorship. They've decided what their position is and what
14:12
Speaker 14: side they're on before the whole dispute breaks out.
14:16
Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly.
14:16
Speaker 3: And I also think that the left don't like to
14:18
Speaker 3: talk about migration because they perceive it as being racist
14:21
Speaker 3: or you're a bigot. But the reality is that we
14:24
Speaker 3: actually need to have a debate and a discussion about
14:26
Speaker 3: migration in this country. We've got a cost of living
14:28
Speaker 3: and a housing crisis which has been exacerbated by the
14:31
Speaker 3: number of.
14:31
Speaker 4: Migrants coming into this country.
14:32
Speaker 3: So it's not racist and you're not a bigot to
14:34
Speaker 3: what I talk about it now. Look, the other issue
14:37
Speaker 3: from Media Watch the other night was they also attacked
14:39
Speaker 3: my colleague Sharry Markson over her one on one exclusive
14:42
Speaker 3: interview with Benjamin Netnyahoo, basically claiming that she should have
14:45
Speaker 3: attacked him more.
14:47
Speaker 4: I've got to say, Kel, why doesn't.
14:48
Speaker 3: The ABC fact check itself. I mean, on this they've
14:52
Speaker 3: been very anti Israel. They certainly show a bias in
14:54
Speaker 3: their reporting of this Middle Eastern conflict. But it's not
14:57
Speaker 3: just that it's the climate hysteria and they pedal. Why
15:00
Speaker 3: did they actually do some self reflection.
15:05
Speaker 14: There is no room to do self reflection. When I
15:08
Speaker 14: worked at the ABC, there was what Maurice Newman, when
15:11
Speaker 14: he was chairman of the ABC called a group think.
15:14
Speaker 14: And the group think is if you deviate from this,
15:17
Speaker 14: you're in trouble. Now. I was there at one stage
15:20
Speaker 14: when there was the very early talk about same sex
15:24
Speaker 14: marriage coming in and I expressed my conservative point of view.
15:28
Speaker 14: I actually was on the drum once talking about this,
15:30
Speaker 14: and they never had me back because they found how
15:32
Speaker 14: conservative I was. But all of my colleagues just looked
15:36
Speaker 14: at me as if I was strange. There's only one
15:38
Speaker 14: way to think. We all think like this. That's what
15:40
Speaker 14: group think is. There's no bits of paper issued, there's
15:43
Speaker 14: no directives that come out. It is just everyone thinks
15:47
Speaker 14: the same way. It's in the atmosphere. It's the culture
15:50
Speaker 14: of the place. So that's what's going on. There is
15:53
Speaker 14: no room for standing back and doing some critical reflection
15:57
Speaker 14: and saying, critically, is there evidence about there is there
16:00
Speaker 14: any evidence on the other side. Is there a more
16:03
Speaker 14: nuanced position that could be adopted. There is no space
16:06
Speaker 14: to do that, Danika, No, there's not.
16:08
Speaker 4: And look, the ABC have got so many resources.
16:10
Speaker 3: They didn't land an interview with Benjamin Etna who and
16:12
Speaker 3: certainly with the time and the resources they have, they
16:15
Speaker 3: could have gone through the property hills.
16:16
Speaker 14: There are exhausted people in Radio National who spend a
16:19
Speaker 14: whole week making a fifteen minute radio program. So you
16:22
Speaker 14: don't push them too hard.
16:23
Speaker 4: He don't push them too hard. They can't be put
16:24
Speaker 4: on edge that much.
16:26
Speaker 3: Now, look, let's talk about this famine that's been declared.
16:29
Speaker 3: Here was a United Nations agency saying that there is
16:32
Speaker 3: a famine Gaza.
16:33
Speaker 15: Have a look, be in no doubt that this is
16:36
Speaker 15: irrefutable testimony. It is a famine, the Gaza famine. It
16:45
Speaker 15: is a famine that we could have prevented if we
16:49
Speaker 15: had been allowed.
16:50
Speaker 4: Now, that was just for a reference.
16:53
Speaker 3: That was Tom Fletcher, the UN's emergency relief coordinator, the
16:56
Speaker 3: same Tom Fletcher who claimed that fourteen thousand babies would
16:59
Speaker 3: die in four eight hours without aid, but he was
17:02
Speaker 3: later forced to retract that. So already we're talking that
17:05
Speaker 3: there is untrustworthiness there but of course the ABC other
17:08
Speaker 3: media around the world, they've lacked up this claim. But
17:11
Speaker 3: Israel says that that reporting nord Israel's humanitarian efforts failed
17:14
Speaker 3: to mention a drop in the price of oil, sugar, salt, flour,
17:17
Speaker 3: yeast and chickpeas, and the Foreign Affairs Ministry Director General
17:21
Speaker 3: Eden Bar Towler's called for a retraction, saying the report
17:24
Speaker 3: is deeply flawed, our professional gravely missing the standards expected
17:28
Speaker 3: from an international body entrusted with such a serious responsibility.
17:32
Speaker 3: The other issue here cal is that the Hamas run
17:34
Speaker 3: Gaza Health Ministry says ten more people have died of
17:37
Speaker 3: malnutrition and starvation in the last twenty four hours.
17:40
Speaker 4: That's just the exact problem.
17:42
Speaker 3: We're getting the figures and the information from Hubbas Humas.
17:45
Speaker 14: Indeed, and I've got to say about Tom Fletcher, I'm
17:48
Speaker 14: sure he's a nice man, but anyone who cannot pronounce
17:50
Speaker 14: him refutable, I'm sorry, has no credibility with me. What
17:56
Speaker 14: they're ignoring is the video evidence. We have seen too
17:59
Speaker 14: muchvideo evidence. There's been video evidence occasionally parents supposedly bringing
18:05
Speaker 14: out there under fed children and the parents are clearly
18:08
Speaker 14: well fed, and there are other siblings who are well fed.
18:12
Speaker 14: The video evidence is strong, and there was video evidence
18:14
Speaker 14: of a marketplace. There was a market set up in
18:17
Speaker 14: the middle of Gaza City, which will shortly be occupied
18:21
Speaker 14: by the IDF. But in Gaza City there is a market,
18:24
Speaker 14: a typical Eastern market in the market square. There's food
18:27
Speaker 14: on the table, people are buying it, and the people
18:30
Speaker 14: standing behind the table selling the stuff don't look stuff.
18:34
Speaker 14: There's too many images the people who are clearly not starving.
18:38
Speaker 14: It's the video evidence that really knocks this on the head.
18:41
Speaker 1: In the end.
18:41
Speaker 3: Yeah, and there seems to be a real stunning lack
18:43
Speaker 3: of curiosity around the world to question what's coming out
18:45
Speaker 3: of the United Nations, and they've proven themselves very untrustworthy.
18:48
Speaker 3: Before we Let You Go veteran broadcast to Sarbra Lane.
18:51
Speaker 3: She's apparently calling time on her role after a decade
18:55
Speaker 3: of hosting one of the ABC's flagship radio shows. Now
18:58
Speaker 3: this is where it gets interesting, because sources told Stein
19:01
Speaker 3: News that her frustrations center on ABC chairman Kim William's
19:04
Speaker 3: alleged failure to deliver on his promised radio revolution, which
19:07
Speaker 3: would include greater investment in radio or do we pay
19:10
Speaker 3: them a billion dollars a year col and that they
19:13
Speaker 3: want more money otherwise, that they're walking away.
19:16
Speaker 14: My heart goes out to Subra Lane, but I think
19:18
Speaker 14: she's nuts. I am a former compater of am SO
19:22
Speaker 14: back in the days when it was the flagship program,
19:24
Speaker 14: which has been for so long. I compared it for
19:26
Speaker 14: two years. I didn't give it up because I didn't
19:29
Speaker 14: like the management. You don't do that with good broadcasting jobs.
19:32
Speaker 14: I'm sorry, Sarbra. This is some sort of performance so
19:36
Speaker 14: that's really odd. The radio revolution was originally the ABC
19:42
Speaker 14: decided to abolish the radio division and collapse it all
19:45
Speaker 14: together in something called an audio area, and the audio
19:48
Speaker 14: area would feed into online because online was going to
19:51
Speaker 14: be the big future that took over the entire world.
19:53
Speaker 14: And it happened much more slowly than they expected, so
19:56
Speaker 14: they split the radio division back off again. Now they
20:00
Speaker 14: need to work out where they're going with their radio.
20:03
Speaker 14: It's really hard to justify radio national. It's really hard
20:06
Speaker 14: to justify almost anything except regional radio. Regional ABC regional
20:10
Speaker 14: radio is brilliant. How you justify any of the rest
20:13
Speaker 14: of it, I simply do not know. So they need
20:15
Speaker 14: to rethink it all properly. It appears not to be happening.
20:19
Speaker 14: But if you're frustrated about that, you know, I feel
20:22
Speaker 14: for you. I understand your frustration. But you don't stop
20:25
Speaker 14: a top job because you're feeling a bit frustrated about
20:28
Speaker 14: how they're running the place.
20:29
Speaker 4: You don't do that.
20:31
Speaker 3: This is a professional in my view as well, I
20:33
Speaker 3: don't like it either.
20:35
Speaker 14: Well, I can't say big boys like I'm professional.
20:37
Speaker 5: I think it's nuts.
20:38
Speaker 4: I like nuts.
20:38
Speaker 3: I think you absolutely summarize it much much better than
20:41
Speaker 3: I did. Cal Richard's good to see you, Thanks so
20:42
Speaker 3: much for coming on. Still to come Lefties Losing It
20:45
Speaker 3: plus devastation in Minnesota after a gunman opened fire on
20:49
Speaker 3: a Catholic school. John Heindeaker will join me next with
20:52
Speaker 3: the details. And now it's time for Lefties Losing It
21:05
Speaker 3: And we start with a trigger warning to all the
21:07
Speaker 3: Swifties out there, Yes, come at me, because Wow, Democrat
21:11
Speaker 3: lovey dovey Taylor Swift's engagement to Travis Kelcey seems to
21:15
Speaker 3: have given the miserable, sour and angry white women the
21:20
Speaker 3: okay to get married. I mean, who would have thought
21:23
Speaker 3: you could actually continue life as normal under Donald Trump's America?
21:28
Speaker 3: Here was CBS reporter Olivia Renaldi having a complete freak
21:31
Speaker 3: out after finding out the news.
21:38
Speaker 16: Taylor Swift is engaged. Taylor Swift is engaged. Taylor Swift
21:45
Speaker 16: is engaged. This come back to me. She just posted it.
21:49
Speaker 16: Oh my god, oh my god.
21:53
Speaker 4: Oh it's huge.
21:54
Speaker 2: The ring is jenormous.
21:56
Speaker 4: This is so exciting.
21:58
Speaker 16: Oh my god, Oh my god, Oh my god. It's
22:02
Speaker 16: on her Instagram. It's on her Instagram. It's on her Instagram.
22:04
Speaker 16: Oh my god, Oh my god, my god, my god,
22:06
Speaker 16: my god. I feel like Paul Revere right now. This
22:10
Speaker 16: is a very exciting moment for me in my professional
22:12
Speaker 16: career because I get to announce that Taylor Swift and
22:15
Speaker 16: Travis Kelsey are engaged.
22:18
Speaker 4: Yeah.
22:18
Speaker 3: Could she say, oh my god, just just one more time,
22:21
Speaker 3: one more time for old time's sake. And the white
22:24
Speaker 3: liberals sounded like they were laying an egg.
22:30
Speaker 4: Very good, they well wed.
22:34
Speaker 15: Oh my god, Oh.
22:37
Speaker 4: My god, Taylor Swift is engaged.
22:39
Speaker 17: I feel like my daughter just got engaged.
22:41
Speaker 4: This is so exciting.
22:43
Speaker 3: And did you know there's a whole deranged squad called
22:46
Speaker 3: gay law creators who actually think Travis and Taylor are
22:50
Speaker 3: not straight but are in fact gay.
22:53
Speaker 4: So here is one of them wearing.
22:54
Speaker 3: A T shirt that says lobotomy by the way, So
22:57
Speaker 3: how already it's going swimmingly, isn't it. But she absolutely
23:01
Speaker 3: is convinced that this is all just a big stunt.
23:05
Speaker 17: Why would I be happy that someone got engaged to
23:07
Speaker 17: a man, a man I don't know who historically like
23:10
Speaker 17: throws temper tantrums on the football field. Why would I
23:13
Speaker 17: be excited for a woman to be marrying him. I
23:16
Speaker 17: don't think it's an achievement to get engaged. I don't
23:18
Speaker 17: think it's an achievement to get married. I don't think
23:21
Speaker 17: that this hetero patriarchal milestone thing that we're all spoon
23:25
Speaker 17: fed as baby so that we grew up brainwashed is
23:28
Speaker 17: anything to be proud of.
23:30
Speaker 4: Well, baby, Nick ought they to side of the last.
23:33
Speaker 4: And then there's this.
23:36
Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey's trans. Travis Kelsey's going to come out as trans.
23:40
Speaker 1: So it's actually totally fine. We're going for them for
23:43
Speaker 1: Travis from now on until they confirm that they'd like
23:46
Speaker 1: to be she her. In the meantime, we're just gonna
23:49
Speaker 1: say Travis's bade them. I think I actually remember an
23:51
Speaker 1: outfit where he was wearing the transplied colors a couple
23:54
Speaker 1: of different outfits. If you combined them as a transplant.
23:56
Speaker 1: Nobody's stressed out at all. Everything's going to be okay.
24:02
Speaker 4: Work. They're just no words, are there?
24:04
Speaker 3: And now to the tiresome trans crew constantly having insufferable meltdowns, as.
24:10
Speaker 4: As if the world owes them something. It's just all
24:13
Speaker 4: very odd.
24:14
Speaker 15: Why don't exist as my two self right now?
24:19
Speaker 18: Do you think.
24:22
Speaker 4: E steer it somemselves?
24:25
Speaker 5: Jesus the two self a little?
24:28
Speaker 4: You'll see his sort. What about Well, they are who
24:34
Speaker 4: you don't.
24:34
Speaker 15: Like coming into people's spaces, them uncomfortable being themselves.
24:40
Speaker 19: You don't like.
24:42
Speaker 11: That to you?
24:43
Speaker 5: That not coming here?
24:51
Speaker 4: Yeah, truly very normal stuff, isn't it? Now?
24:54
Speaker 3: Crack of barrels having a moment over in the US,
24:57
Speaker 3: isn't it? The dining chain has had it's come to
25:00
Speaker 3: Je's moment, vowing to backflip on its logo rate design,
25:04
Speaker 3: But Democrat Representative beckap Valiant says she's just very triggered
25:09
Speaker 3: by it all.
25:10
Speaker 20: I just have to say, who gives us about the
25:17
Speaker 20: cracker barrel logo? We are all being manipulated by people
25:24
Speaker 20: who are driving rage about asinine, stupid things, and it
25:31
Speaker 20: takes up so much time and so much energy and
25:35
Speaker 20: so many damn column inches in newspapers and on social media.
25:42
Speaker 20: This is stupid, and we continue to fall for it.
25:49
Speaker 3: Actually, Han, it's all to do with the democrats canceled
25:52
Speaker 3: culture and insistence on trying to erase American history. But
25:56
Speaker 3: they never learned, do they? Now to Washington, d C.
25:59
Speaker 3: Where this left things, Blacks are about to be rounded up.
26:03
Speaker 21: We believe that the National Guard and the military occupation
26:10
Speaker 21: is the first step into rounding black people up and
26:14
Speaker 21: putting them in detainment camps here in Washington, DC and
26:19
Speaker 21: around the United States of America.
26:22
Speaker 4: I mean, there really is struggling.
26:23
Speaker 3: Aren't they to comprehend the benefits of cracking down on crime?
26:26
Speaker 3: So they just start spewing all sorts of lefty nonsense. Meanwhile,
26:29
Speaker 3: the governor of Illinois says Trump is using troops to
26:32
Speaker 3: crack down on crime. Is about an authoritarian takeover.
26:38
Speaker 22: This is about the President of the United States and
26:41
Speaker 22: his complicit lackey Stephen Miller, searching for ways to lay
26:46
Speaker 22: the groundwork to circumvent our democracy, militarize our cities, and
26:51
Speaker 22: end elections.
26:53
Speaker 3: Circumvent our democracy by helping to keep our citizens safe.
26:57
Speaker 4: Actually, so make that make sense.
26:59
Speaker 3: A massive, huge, diabolical setback for Donald Trump. British politician
27:04
Speaker 3: and leader of the Liberal Democrats Ed Davey has announced
27:07
Speaker 3: he is boycotting King Charles's state dinner for Trump, all
27:11
Speaker 3: in the name of Gaza.
27:13
Speaker 11: I never thought I'd have to make this decision. Next month,
27:17
Speaker 11: Donald Trump will come to the UK for a state banquet.
27:21
Speaker 11: I'd be invited, my wife and I won't be going.
27:26
Speaker 11: It's an enormous honor to be invited by the King,
27:29
Speaker 11: who I have tuned respect for this Only by not
27:33
Speaker 11: attending that I get the opportunity to make this case.
27:37
Speaker 11: The people of Gaza are starving.
27:40
Speaker 15: Boycotting the banquet.
27:42
Speaker 11: Is the one way I can send a message to
27:44
Speaker 11: Donald Trump and Kirstarner too, because they can't close their
27:48
Speaker 11: eyes and just wish this away.
27:51
Speaker 3: We joining me now is President of the Center of
27:53
Speaker 3: the American Experiment, John Heindereika.
27:56
Speaker 4: Good to catch up with you again.
27:58
Speaker 3: Let's start with former Vice Presidentamala Harris, who's fundraising events
28:02
Speaker 3: to raise money for the Democratic National Committee have been
28:05
Speaker 3: a total flop. According to Axius, the total money raised
28:09
Speaker 3: from the events has been disappointing. And look, really it's
28:12
Speaker 3: not hard to see. Why shall we take a trip
28:15
Speaker 3: down memory lane?
28:17
Speaker 19: The children of the community are the children of the community.
28:21
Speaker 19: You need to get to go and need to be
28:23
Speaker 19: able to get where you need to go to do
28:24
Speaker 19: the work and get home. Talking about the significance of
28:27
Speaker 19: the passage of time, right, the significance of the passage
28:31
Speaker 19: of time.
28:32
Speaker 1: So when you think about it.
28:34
Speaker 19: There is great significance to the passage of time in
28:36
Speaker 19: terms of what we.
28:37
Speaker 4: Need to do to see.
28:39
Speaker 19: The moment in time in which we exist and are
28:43
Speaker 19: a present.
28:51
Speaker 3: Oh, John, to tell you what it said, shivers up
28:54
Speaker 3: my spine every time I see that vision. But look,
28:58
Speaker 3: of course this comes as the DNC continues to pay
29:01
Speaker 3: off her November campaign expenses, which notched one point five
29:05
Speaker 3: billion US dollars, and Democrats are rightly frustrated. And now
29:09
Speaker 3: she can't even get enough money at fundraisers. What does
29:11
Speaker 3: it say about Kamala Harris?
29:14
Speaker 12: Well, and so something about Kamala Harris, who was a
29:17
Speaker 12: terrible candidate and the video clips he played remind us
29:20
Speaker 12: of how bad she was. She spent one and a
29:24
Speaker 12: half billion dollars in just one hundred and seven days,
29:28
Speaker 12: wound up in debt, so they tried to pay off
29:31
Speaker 12: those campaign debts. But the thing I would say, Denika,
29:34
Speaker 12: is that it's not only Kamala Harris. It's the Democratic
29:38
Speaker 12: Party across the board that is having a hard time
29:42
Speaker 12: raising money. And that's partly because some of the people
29:44
Speaker 12: who had been big Democratic donors, especially in the tech industries.
29:49
Speaker 5: Are holding back.
29:50
Speaker 12: I'm not sure if they're changing parties or not, but
29:53
Speaker 12: at least for now, they're not supporting the Democrats.
29:56
Speaker 4: No, clearly.
29:57
Speaker 3: And yeah, she's really struggling to to get money into
30:01
Speaker 3: the fundraisers. So really speaks volumes about t Kamala Harris. Now, look,
30:05
Speaker 3: I want to turn to this awful, awful shooting in Minneapolis.
30:09
Speaker 3: Two children, of course, have been shot dead and another
30:11
Speaker 3: two are fighting for life after a shooter opened fire
30:14
Speaker 3: through the windows of a church.
30:17
Speaker 4: Here's what we know about the shooter.
30:20
Speaker 2: The coward that shot these victims took his own life
30:23
Speaker 2: in the rear of the church. That coward has been
30:27
Speaker 2: identified as twenty three year old Robin Westman, no prior
30:32
Speaker 2: criminal history.
30:34
Speaker 3: Now, John, we also know that this shooter was trans
30:37
Speaker 3: and it's understood their handwritten manifesto suggests that they were
30:40
Speaker 3: in the midst of a gender identity crisis and had
30:43
Speaker 3: killed Donald Trump and for the children scrawled on gun magazines. Now,
30:48
Speaker 3: obviously this is just awful for the families, but a
30:51
Speaker 3: lot of questions need answering about the shooter and their ideology.
30:57
Speaker 12: So, Denika, this is close to my because I used
31:01
Speaker 12: to live in the neighborhood where this school Annunciation is located.
31:05
Speaker 12: If my wife and I hadn't decided to move to
31:07
Speaker 12: the suburbs, our youngest child would have attended this school,
31:12
Speaker 12: and so I'm very familiar with it. And this is
31:14
Speaker 12: another instance of a trans mass shooter. And given the tiny,
31:20
Speaker 12: tiny number of trans people, there have been quite a
31:23
Speaker 12: few incidents like this, And I think one of the
31:26
Speaker 12: things that we need to take a harder look at
31:29
Speaker 12: is these are people who are seriously mentally ill. If
31:32
Speaker 12: you look at the video that this Robert or Robin
31:36
Speaker 12: whoever it was released, it's completely insane. I mean completely insane,
31:41
Speaker 12: and it's hard to understand why no one seems to
31:44
Speaker 12: notice until someone actually starts shooting people. And then another
31:50
Speaker 12: thing I think we need to look at is a
31:51
Speaker 12: lot of these trans people, and I don't know whether
31:54
Speaker 12: it's true of this one or not, but they get
31:56
Speaker 12: injected with powerful drugs as part of the transition, and
32:00
Speaker 12: I think we should step back and take a very
32:03
Speaker 12: hard look at whether these drug therapies may in fact
32:06
Speaker 12: be exacerbating preexisting mental illness and maybe inclining some of
32:11
Speaker 12: these people to violence.
32:13
Speaker 3: I think, as well, we've got to look at that
32:16
Speaker 3: they're being enabled here, because you know, we've got this
32:19
Speaker 3: moment here. I want to show you Tim Woles he
32:21
Speaker 3: signed a bill to make Minnesota his own state a
32:25
Speaker 3: trans refuge state late last year, and only a few
32:28
Speaker 3: days ago he spoke about it again.
32:30
Speaker 4: Have a listen.
32:32
Speaker 23: Minnesota ranks the highest per capitable for being a safe
32:35
Speaker 23: haven for transgender individuals in Minnesota. And can I just say,
32:44
Speaker 23: we can talk about economic growth and feeding children and
32:47
Speaker 23: growing the economy and creating jobs simultaneously with talking about
32:50
Speaker 23: everybody's human rights matters, and.
32:52
Speaker 21: We shouldn't animalizing that.
32:54
Speaker 5: You can evolve.
32:56
Speaker 3: John is democratic leadership responsible for fostering this trans and
33:01
Speaker 3: woke ideology. I mean, now, this trans person has committed
33:04
Speaker 3: such a heinous act and I'm not suggesting that this
33:06
Speaker 3: happens all the time, but the Democrats have really pushed
33:10
Speaker 3: this agenda forward.
33:12
Speaker 12: DENNI gets unbelievable. You know, usually the victims are not poor,
33:16
Speaker 12: innocent school children like in this case. Usually the victims
33:20
Speaker 12: are the trans people themselves, who, instead of getting proper
33:24
Speaker 12: medical care for a very severe mental illness, get encouraged
33:29
Speaker 12: sometimes as if this is reality.
33:32
Speaker 5: And I think you're right.
33:33
Speaker 12: I think Democratic politicians like Tim Wallas, my own governor,
33:38
Speaker 12: have played a very poor role in this whole situation.
33:42
Speaker 3: Now, look, I completely agree with you. It's a sad,
33:44
Speaker 3: sad day again in America. But you know, there's so
33:47
Speaker 3: many questions that need to be answered. Now, look, let's
33:50
Speaker 3: talk crime. The vast majority of Americans see crime is
33:53
Speaker 3: a huge issue in the US and approve of Donald
33:56
Speaker 3: Trump's handling of it. According to an ap nork pole,
34:00
Speaker 3: eighty one percent of Americans agree that crime is a
34:03
Speaker 3: major issue, including ninety six percent of Republicans, sixty eight
34:07
Speaker 3: percent of Democrats, and seventy two percent of independence while
34:11
Speaker 3: fifty three percent of Americans approve of the methods by
34:14
Speaker 3: which Trump is combating crime. You know, John, the left,
34:17
Speaker 3: they're all up in arms about this, cracked out, particularly
34:20
Speaker 3: in Washington, DC. But the reality is America's American America
34:25
Speaker 3: wants this.
34:26
Speaker 4: This is exactly what America voted for, Daniki.
34:29
Speaker 12: It is a mystery why democratic politicians in big cities
34:33
Speaker 12: will not take strong measures to combat crime. They have
34:38
Speaker 12: no cash bail. You know, it's a revolving door. Criminals
34:41
Speaker 12: get arrested, they put them right back out.
34:44
Speaker 5: On the street. It's really appalling.
34:45
Speaker 12: And the natural consequence of that is sky high violent
34:50
Speaker 12: crime rates.
34:51
Speaker 5: Now in Washington.
34:52
Speaker 12: Donald Trump was able to do what he did because
34:55
Speaker 12: Washington is a unique jurisdiction.
34:57
Speaker 5: It is a federal district.
34:59
Speaker 12: It's the only place in America that's not part of
35:02
Speaker 12: a state. It is run by the federal government, and therefore,
35:06
Speaker 12: by law, Donald Trump had the ability to come in,
35:09
Speaker 12: take over the police force, bring in FBI agents, a
35:12
Speaker 12: first another federal law enforcement, and bring in the DC
35:17
Speaker 12: National Guard, which is under his command. And so that
35:20
Speaker 12: was a unique opportunity for him to come in and
35:23
Speaker 12: fight crime. Carjackings are down by eighty seven percent since
35:28
Speaker 12: this federal takeover in DC, and so it's very popular.
35:33
Speaker 12: It's popular with people in DC, and I think it's
35:35
Speaker 12: popular with people across the country.
35:37
Speaker 3: Yeah, and note even the Washington DC mayor Muriel bows
35:41
Speaker 3: ashieven praise it given that. Yeah, as you said, that
35:43
Speaker 3: eighty seven percent reduction in carjackings in just the last
35:48
Speaker 3: twenty days alone.
35:50
Speaker 4: So the proof is absolutely in the pudding.
35:53
Speaker 3: Now, look, I want to talk to you about Alligator Alcatraz,
35:56
Speaker 3: the immigration facility of course in the Florida ever Glades
36:00
Speaker 3: now that will soon have no detainees in it. Officials
36:03
Speaker 3: will reportedly shut down that facility after a judge ordered
36:06
Speaker 3: them to cease operations.
36:09
Speaker 4: John, what do you make now of this development?
36:13
Speaker 12: Well, the important thing to understand here, Janika, is that
36:16
Speaker 12: the basis of that court order was environmental, nothing to
36:20
Speaker 12: do with the use of the facility for deportees. It
36:25
Speaker 12: was that the judge held that certain environmental procedures hadn't
36:29
Speaker 12: been complied with. The federal government could appeal that order.
36:33
Speaker 12: I'm not sure they're going to. They might just say fine,
36:36
Speaker 12: They're opening up a number of other deportees centers around
36:40
Speaker 12: the country. I don't know that they necessarily need Alligator Alcatras.
36:44
Speaker 5: But here's the real point that was going on.
36:46
Speaker 12: Anita Danika what they're trying to do is encourage self deportation.
36:53
Speaker 12: You can't fly ten or fifteen million people out of
36:56
Speaker 12: the country. What you've got to do is impress upon
36:59
Speaker 12: them that it would be a good idea for them to.
37:02
Speaker 5: Leave the same way they came.
37:04
Speaker 12: And the administration has done that by publicizing things like
37:08
Speaker 12: Alligator Alcatraz, and I'm sure that's caused a lot of
37:12
Speaker 12: illegal immigrants to self deport and I think that's the
37:15
Speaker 12: real idea here.
37:17
Speaker 3: Yes, so maybe it actually has had the desired effect
37:20
Speaker 3: after all. You spot on now, Look, Donald Trump has
37:23
Speaker 3: held a White House meeting with former British Prime Minister
37:25
Speaker 3: Tony Blair and former Trump Middle East Envoy Jared Kushner
37:29
Speaker 3: on ending the Gaza War. What do you make of
37:32
Speaker 3: Tony Blair being invited to give his views and his
37:37
Speaker 3: rationale for ending the Gaza War?
37:42
Speaker 5: Denik, I really don't know.
37:43
Speaker 12: I mean, I assume he's being brought in because he's
37:46
Speaker 12: got a more pro Israel orientation than car Starmer, the
37:50
Speaker 12: current Prime minister, who is talking about recognizing a Palestine,
37:55
Speaker 12: whatever that is, you know, whatever its borders might be,
37:58
Speaker 12: whatever it's government might be. I think that Trump is
38:02
Speaker 12: trying to help the Israelis, help Benjamin Natanya, who get
38:06
Speaker 12: to an appropriate resolution of this Gaza war? And what
38:10
Speaker 12: does that mean. It means a resolution that does not
38:13
Speaker 12: leave Homas in power in Gaza and does not leave
38:17
Speaker 12: Hamas as a viable terrorist organization. I don't think nat
38:23
Speaker 12: Yaho will settle for anything less, and I don't think
38:26
Speaker 12: Trump is going to pressure him to accept anything less.
38:30
Speaker 18: No.
38:30
Speaker 3: Well, look, Trump's been very firm on this from the
38:32
Speaker 3: very beginning, and obviously those negotiations are still open.
38:35
Speaker 4: So you're right, Let's let's see what happens here now.
38:38
Speaker 3: US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has fired the head of
38:42
Speaker 3: the Pentagon's intelligence agency and two other senior military commanders.
38:46
Speaker 3: It comes just weeks after the White House rebuked a
38:50
Speaker 3: review assessing the impact of American strikes on Iran. John,
38:55
Speaker 3: I guess you know what choice did heg Seth have here,
38:57
Speaker 3: because the head of the intelligence agency essentially cost doubt
39:03
Speaker 3: over the administration's own strikes.
39:07
Speaker 12: Yeah, this guy was the head of the Defense Intelligence Agency,
39:10
Speaker 12: one of a number of intelligence agencies that we have.
39:13
Speaker 5: He was a.
39:13
Speaker 12: General named Jeffrey Cruz. And right after those Iranian air strikes.
39:18
Speaker 12: You put out this ridiculous intelligence report saying that he
39:22
Speaker 12: thought they had done very little damage.
39:24
Speaker 5: Now that's absurd.
39:24
Speaker 12: It's contradicted by every other assessment by everybody all around
39:30
Speaker 12: the world. They did terrific damage. What's going on here
39:34
Speaker 12: is that the military bureaucracy and the intelligence bureaucracy have
39:39
Speaker 12: both been taken over by woke liberals. And Pete Hagseeth
39:44
Speaker 12: knows all about this. He actually wrote a book about it,
39:47
Speaker 12: how wokeism was taking over the highest levels of the
39:51
Speaker 12: Department of Defense. And that's one of the reasons why
39:53
Speaker 12: President Trump made him Secretary of Defense, because Trump wants
39:57
Speaker 12: him to clear out this woke dead. These are guys
40:01
Speaker 12: who never fought a war, but are they're pursuing these
40:04
Speaker 12: liberal DEI policies and so on. So we're going to
40:08
Speaker 12: see more of this. There are more people at the
40:10
Speaker 12: top of the military establishment as well as at the
40:13
Speaker 12: top of some of these intelligence agencies who need to go,
40:17
Speaker 12: and I think we'll see some more firings.
40:20
Speaker 4: Yeah, it wouldn't surprise me at all.
40:22
Speaker 3: You can tell that Pete Hegseth is really getting it
40:24
Speaker 3: done and clearing.
40:24
Speaker 4: Out that department and good on him.
40:26
Speaker 3: I say, now, The New York Times has done a
40:29
Speaker 3: special investigation into Chinese meddling and influencing campaigns. It's found, quote,
40:34
Speaker 3: the Chinese government wields its influence in New York politics
40:38
Speaker 3: through diaes a poor organizations that are usually organized around
40:42
Speaker 3: people from the same village, city, or province in China.
40:46
Speaker 3: It goes on to say Chinese diplomats at the country's
40:48
Speaker 3: New York consulate on Manhattan's West Side were in constant
40:52
Speaker 3: communication with leaders of these groups.
40:54
Speaker 4: John, how concerning is this.
40:57
Speaker 12: It's interesting, Danika, because, as you know, in our life,
41:00
Speaker 12: there's been a lot of talk about Russian influence on
41:03
Speaker 12: our elections, and that's been way overstated. I think the
41:07
Speaker 12: much more serious question is Chinese influence, not just in
41:10
Speaker 12: local elections in New York City, but in many other ways.
41:14
Speaker 12: We know that the Chinese have heavily influenced American universities
41:19
Speaker 12: by giving them a lot of money, which is supposed
41:22
Speaker 12: to be reported by law, but often has not been reported.
41:25
Speaker 12: That's been really insidious. We know that the Red Chinese
41:29
Speaker 12: have placed spies in high places. So for example, Senator
41:33
Speaker 12: Dianne Feinstein for years had a driver was with her
41:38
Speaker 12: every day, turned out to be a Chinese spy. A
41:41
Speaker 12: prominent Democratic congressman had a girlfriend who had almost certainly
41:47
Speaker 12: was the Chinese spy. And so we had the Chinese
41:51
Speaker 12: spy satellite drifting across the United States during the Biden
41:55
Speaker 12: administration and they wouldn't shoot it down. So there's a
41:58
Speaker 12: lot of reason to think that China is spying. China
42:01
Speaker 12: is exerting political influence. China's trained influenced our academic institutions
42:07
Speaker 12: to be friendly two of it.
42:09
Speaker 5: And I think we.
42:09
Speaker 12: Need a really much broader across the board understanding of
42:14
Speaker 12: these efforts and response to those efforts.
42:18
Speaker 4: Yeah, I completely agree as you said.
42:20
Speaker 3: I mean, normally we think about Russia, but gee, China
42:23
Speaker 3: is certainly a worry right now. John Heindereika, it's great
42:26
Speaker 3: to catch up with you again. Thank you so much
42:28
Speaker 3: for joining us on the show. This evening still to come.
42:30
Speaker 3: Meghan Markle responds to backlash over her Netflix series Wait
42:34
Speaker 3: Till You Hear what she has to say. Kinsey Schofield
42:38
Speaker 3: is up next. Welcome back and joining me now is
42:49
Speaker 3: celebrity and royal commentator Kinsey Schofield. Kinsey, good to see you,
42:53
Speaker 3: Let's start with Meghan Markle. She's hit out at critics
42:56
Speaker 3: of her Netflix cooking show We Love Meghan, and he
43:00
Speaker 3: reckons most people actually love the show and.
43:02
Speaker 4: The heights are just trying to pay their bills. Have
43:05
Speaker 4: a listen.
43:06
Speaker 8: I think I knew who I was trying to meet,
43:10
Speaker 8: and so if you know your audience, you know your demographic. Well,
43:12
Speaker 8: they love the show, and my partners love the show,
43:15
Speaker 8: and that's why we have a season two and why
43:17
Speaker 8: we have more fun coming. So I think oftentimes the
43:21
Speaker 8: negative voices are they saying the negative things and then
43:24
Speaker 8: secretly going home and making single skill at spaghetti possibly,
43:28
Speaker 8: And that's all right. They're trying to pay their bills,
43:30
Speaker 8: and that's for them to sort out if they're comfortable
43:33
Speaker 8: doing it at someone else's detriment.
43:35
Speaker 3: Kinsey, she's kidding yourself, isn't she.
43:38
Speaker 18: I mean, it's a little ironic for Megan Markle to
43:41
Speaker 18: dismiss critics as just trying to pay their bills when
43:44
Speaker 18: much of her own income over the last five years
43:47
Speaker 18: has come from Megan criticizing the British royal family. That
43:51
Speaker 18: strategy paid her bills too, and that's for her to
43:55
Speaker 18: sort out if she's comfortable doing it to Harry's family's detriment.
43:59
Speaker 18: Prince Philip Andqueen Elizabeth died feeling under attacked by their
44:02
Speaker 18: grandson and his wife. Some call that elder abuse. Harry
44:06
Speaker 18: and Meghan might call it paying their bills. So, you know,
44:10
Speaker 18: another pr mishap, misfire for miss markle Gosh.
44:14
Speaker 4: That's such a good point. You're right.
44:15
Speaker 3: I mean that she's built her whole career on criticizing
44:18
Speaker 3: people and can't take the heat when it's turned on
44:20
Speaker 3: her spot.
44:21
Speaker 4: On Now, Kinsey, we.
44:22
Speaker 3: Have to talk about Taylor Swift and Travis Kelcey, who've
44:25
Speaker 3: just announced their engagement. It's no secret Trump is not
44:28
Speaker 3: the biggest fan of the pop star, and I think
44:30
Speaker 3: the press maybe would have wanted a harsher reaction from him,
44:33
Speaker 3: but he kept it civilized.
44:34
Speaker 5: Have listen, Well, I wish I'm a lot of love. Yeah,
44:39
Speaker 5: I think it's I think he's a great player.
44:43
Speaker 7: I think he's a great guy, and I think that
44:45
Speaker 7: she's a terrific person.
44:47
Speaker 5: So I wish they'm a lot alone.
44:49
Speaker 3: So civilized from the President, Kinsey, But I just don't
44:51
Speaker 3: know what the big deal about it is.
44:53
Speaker 4: Why do people care so.
44:54
Speaker 18: Much about their engagement or Trump. I mean, I think
44:57
Speaker 18: we care about Trump because of the I hate Taylor
45:00
Speaker 18: Swift in all caps truth social posts not too long ago,
45:03
Speaker 18: which gave us all you know, a giggle. It is
45:06
Speaker 18: a rare moment of restraint from President Trump, and I
45:09
Speaker 18: appreciate that he didn't want to overshadow her big day
45:12
Speaker 18: with negativity.
45:13
Speaker 4: It shows he has a.
45:13
Speaker 18: Heart and knows how to read the room. I don't
45:17
Speaker 18: care what Taylor's current issues are with him. She has
45:20
Speaker 18: to appreciate the fact that a sitting president is congratulating
45:24
Speaker 18: her on her happily ever after.
45:26
Speaker 4: That's pretty cool.
45:27
Speaker 3: I completely agree, especially after she came out so publicly
45:30
Speaker 3: back in Kamala Harris.
45:31
Speaker 4: So yeah, she's gotta be pleased by that with Trump now.
45:35
Speaker 3: Snoop Dogg has slammed woke gender ideology being promoted in
45:39
Speaker 3: kids films, explaining that when he took his grandson to
45:42
Speaker 3: say the twenty twenty two Disney animated film light Year,
45:45
Speaker 3: he struggled to explain how one of the characters had
45:48
Speaker 3: two moms have.
45:49
Speaker 19: A look my grandson in the middle of a movie
45:52
Speaker 19: like Papa Slop, How she have a baby with a
45:55
Speaker 19: woman she a woman.
45:56
Speaker 5: Uh, I didn't come in for this, just came a
46:00
Speaker 5: good dearn movie.
46:01
Speaker 4: Now, Kinsey.
46:02
Speaker 3: This actually comes a mid debate in Australia surrounding the
46:04
Speaker 3: AFL's decision to have Snoop perform at the AFL Grand
46:08
Speaker 3: Final over his lyrics.
46:09
Speaker 4: But I have to agree with him here listening to.
46:12
Speaker 3: Him now, because you know, why should kids be exposed
46:15
Speaker 3: to wope gender ideology?
46:17
Speaker 18: Yeah, at fifty three and now a grandfather, Snoop admits that,
46:21
Speaker 18: you know, he was unprepared for the inevitable questions that
46:24
Speaker 18: followed a storyline like this, and his comments reflect what
46:27
Speaker 18: many parents and grandparents feel. That families deserve a heads
46:31
Speaker 18: up so they can decide whether or not they want
46:34
Speaker 18: to introduce their children to that type of content at
46:37
Speaker 18: an early age. Innocence is important, and technology and you know,
46:41
Speaker 18: just digital content seems and movie content Hollywood seems to
46:45
Speaker 18: be destroying innocence sooner than ever today.
46:49
Speaker 4: Yeah, I completely agree.
46:50
Speaker 3: It's brainwashing this next generation, I think.
46:52
Speaker 4: Now. An insider has revealed how staff.
46:55
Speaker 3: At the Ellen DeGeneres Show who were bullied by the
46:59
Speaker 3: host actually got the last laugh by playing a cunning prank.
47:03
Speaker 4: What did they do Kinsey.
47:06
Speaker 18: So they swapped her usual sneakers for a children's size,
47:11
Speaker 18: so she tried to put them for the show and
47:13
Speaker 18: had like a mental breakdown, according to the Daily Mail.
47:16
Speaker 18: But former employees say that one staffer, because these are
47:19
Speaker 18: new allegations of her bullying, was pressure to reschedule their
47:23
Speaker 18: child's bone marrow transplant to fit Ellen's schedule, and a
47:28
Speaker 18: former TV and the former TV talk show host would
47:30
Speaker 18: get upset, which is so odd if someone was caught
47:33
Speaker 18: talking to her wife, like even if men were talking
47:36
Speaker 18: to her wife. One staffer was even let go after
47:39
Speaker 18: accidentally blocking Ellen's car in with a golf cart on
47:42
Speaker 18: the lot. And meanwhile, rumors persist that Ellen is bored
47:47
Speaker 18: in the UK and looking for a Hollywood comeback. Maybe
47:50
Speaker 18: she can be unseasoned with Love Megan.
47:52
Speaker 4: That seems to be a safe place.
47:56
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's where all the left hangout on all of
47:57
Speaker 3: Megan's series. I mean, look, I'd say good on the
48:01
Speaker 3: crew for doing that, for getting back at her.
48:03
Speaker 4: But if she's bored, find a hobby, Ellen, find a
48:05
Speaker 4: hobby now.
48:06
Speaker 21: Look.
48:06
Speaker 3: It's been revealed that beloved music icon Gloria Gainer has
48:10
Speaker 3: donated thousands of dollars to MAGA Republicans in recent years,
48:13
Speaker 3: and this comes a bit pressure on her from several
48:16
Speaker 3: lefties like the views Ana Navarro to decline a Kennedy
48:19
Speaker 3: Center on her because they are being awarded by Donald Trump.
48:23
Speaker 4: Cansey, The left are so easily triggered, aren't they. I mean,
48:25
Speaker 4: if she was a dem donor, they wouldn't care. I
48:29
Speaker 4: think Anna Navarro is so jealous.
48:31
Speaker 18: The only thing that Anna is likely to win is
48:34
Speaker 18: a hot dog eating contest.
48:35
Speaker 4: Go get your trophy, Gloria. You survive without the support
48:38
Speaker 4: of Anna Navarro.
48:39
Speaker 18: And you know what, I don't think that these donations,
48:44
Speaker 18: the revelations of the donations, will hurt Gloria's musical legacy,
48:48
Speaker 18: but I think that that was likely the objective and
48:51
Speaker 18: how pitiful, how sad. I think people are just trying
48:54
Speaker 18: to stir the pot.
48:55
Speaker 4: I completely agree.
48:56
