  Speaker 3: Show, Good evening and welcome to the Rita Panahe Show.
• 0:10
  Speaker 3: I'm Danika di Giorgio filling in this evening. Coming up
• 0:13
  Speaker 3: on the show. Mosques across the country called for three
• 0:16
  Speaker 3: days of morning following the death of the Iranian Ayatola.
• 0:20
  Speaker 3: This is un Australian and against our values. I'll get
• 0:23
  Speaker 3: into this with my panel. Donald Trump won't rule out
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: sending US ground troops into Iran. Kosher Gada will join me.
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: Alex Stein on the left's ridiculous response to the Iranian
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: air strikes. Megan Markal gearing up for a return to
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: the UK. Would you believe good luck with that? Comedian
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: Michael Loftus will have his say, and of course left
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: he's losing it. Wait until you see Hillary Clinton's unhinged
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: rant while giving evidence about her links to Jeffrey Epstein.
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: He mos last three thousand lives for first tonight. Reserve
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: Bank Governor Michelle Bullock has warned that the escalating war
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: in Iran could cause a supply shock that would push
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: up inflation even further. The conflict is having severe impacts
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: on the Strait of Holmus, a key global shipping route
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: responsible for about a fifth of global oil and gas supplies. Now,
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: oil prices have already jumped ten percent since Sunday, which
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: experts say will add a whopping forty cents per liter
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: to petrol prices in the coming week. For more on this, now,
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: let's bring in Sky News contributor Louise Roberts and chief
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: economist at the Institute of Public Affairs Adam Crichton. Great
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: to have you both on the show. Thank you so
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: much for joining me, Adam. Look, Australia obviously relies almost
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: completely on imported fuel. We had the Energy Minister Chris
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: Bowen telling Parliament yesterday we've only got about thirty four
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: day's worth of petrol supplies on shore. How did it
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: get to this that we don't actually have any backup?
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: Yeah, certainly it's pretty disappointing.
• 1:56
  Speaker 5: This is something that I've been reporting on in The
• 1:57
  Speaker 5: Australian many many years ago. That's twenty four days has
• 2:00
  Speaker 5: always been about thirty days. The minimum is meant to
• 2:03
  Speaker 5: be ninety days. That's what the IA says most countries
• 2:05
  Speaker 5: should have and for some reason, I.
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: Guess reasons of costs. We've just never complied with that.
• 2:10
  Speaker 5: I guess we've just had a blase attitude to having
• 2:12
  Speaker 5: thirty five days.
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: But it's it's times like.
• 2:14
  Speaker 5: This when you realize that's quite foolish and the small
• 2:17
  Speaker 5: extra cost would be worth it. The reality is we
• 2:20
  Speaker 5: import some ninety percent of our all, so we're extremely
• 2:24
  Speaker 5: dependent on barrels of all coming on ships. And indeed
• 2:28
  Speaker 5: that thirty five days actually includes some oil that is
• 2:30
  Speaker 5: already on ships, so it's even worse than the thirty
• 2:33
  Speaker 5: five days would suggest.
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: Hopefully this is a wake up call.
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, look absolutely, and the warnings are there Louise from
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: the RBA governor. But the other thing is if it
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: does have an impact on inflation, I can guarantee all
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: but guarantee labor is going to now start using this
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: as an excuse for everything and anything, just to slither
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: away from their own economic mishaps.
• 2:54
  Speaker 6: That's right, Well, we can't control this is a war
• 2:56
  Speaker 6: in the Middle League exactly. You know, it's not mean
• 2:59
  Speaker 6: that's not being thought on this in soil, but we're
• 3:00
  Speaker 6: obviously impacted by But I know Shane Oliver has been
• 3:03
  Speaker 6: talking about this forty cent per lead increase, which is
• 3:06
  Speaker 6: mind blowing, and we're devastating for so many small businesses
• 3:10
  Speaker 6: and tradees as well who don't have the luxury of
• 3:13
  Speaker 6: not traveling and not buying petrol and not fuelling their businesses.
• 3:16
  Speaker 6: So I think overall, if labor are going to leave,
• 3:19
  Speaker 6: this is some sort of what we can't help this,
• 3:21
  Speaker 6: and up goes inflation and up goes the cost of
• 3:23
  Speaker 6: groceries and everything else will be absolutely smashed.
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it is quite concerning, but yeah, no doubt Jim
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: Chalmers's ready to launch as he always does. Now, look,
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: this really angers me. A number of mosques in Australia
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: have invited people to honor and mourn the death of
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: the Iranian dictator Ayatola ali Hamani, including at least four
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: Sheeite mosques in Sydney alone. One mosque in Arncliff advertised
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: three days of mourning to honor the martyrdom would you
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: believe of his eminence, the Guardian, jurist and supreme leader
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: of the Islamic Revolution. The mosque morning events have sparked
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: backlash from the PM. He had this to say on
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: the ABC.
• 4:02
  Speaker 7: Well, I don't think they're appropriate and certainly I think
• 4:07
  Speaker 7: that overwhelmingly people won't be participating.
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: Well, you know, Adam, it's all well and good for
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: the Prime Minister to come out and criticize this, but
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: how about actually maybe taking some action. Why don't you
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: deport some of these people who are supporting this murderous regime.
• 4:25
  Speaker 5: Well, look, he certainly could, and that would be a
• 4:27
  Speaker 5: good thing to do perhaps, but you know, they didn't
• 4:29
  Speaker 5: do anything in the wake.
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: Of Bondai, so I think it's unlikely that they will now.
• 4:33
  Speaker 5: But I find it curious that the Labor Party gets
• 4:35
  Speaker 5: upset about this only they have created, you know, this
• 4:38
  Speaker 5: extreme kind of multicultural philosophy in Australia. We have a
• 4:41
  Speaker 5: very very large muleson population, which they celebrate and encourage,
• 4:44
  Speaker 5: and so of course their views on foreign policy are
• 4:48
  Speaker 5: going to differ from the majority.
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: So this is not a surprise to me.
• 4:51
  Speaker 5: It's disappointing, it's not something that I like, but it's
• 4:53
  Speaker 5: hardly a surprise in a multicultural country that you have
• 4:56
  Speaker 5: that you have pockets of society that have extremely different
• 4:59
  Speaker 5: views on foreign policy than the government.
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Look, and you're right, and I think that the
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: whole concept of multiculturalism Luise has failed, particularly in the
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: last two years under Labour. Labor has let in people
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: some who hate us, some who hate our values, and
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: some who have no interest in assimilating. So when you
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: see these sorts of stories, you know, as Adam said,
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: you can't be surprised. But this is UnAustralian.
• 5:20
  Speaker 6: It is UnAustralian as well. And I think the overwhelming
• 5:22
  Speaker 6: majority of Muslim Australians are Laura biding and patriotic absoluce
• 5:26
  Speaker 6: who don't want to bar at.
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: This at all.
• 5:27
  Speaker 6: This is the fringe element who are obviously getting a
• 5:29
  Speaker 6: lot of noise and a lot of hate for what
• 5:31
  Speaker 6: they're doing. But it just beggars belief that we have
• 5:34
  Speaker 6: a situation where terrorists would be you know, adulated and
• 5:37
  Speaker 6: celebrated on Australian soil when nobody wants this, least of
• 5:41
  Speaker 6: all the Muslim population who don't want to barb as
• 5:43
  Speaker 6: I've said, And it's not as though this man was
• 5:45
  Speaker 6: misunderstood cleric. He was a murderous individual who presided over
• 5:50
  Speaker 6: a misery for many, many decent people. So I can't
• 5:53
  Speaker 6: believe what these protests and these eulogies to these this
• 5:57
  Speaker 6: person are actually thriving in Sydney it's a paul.
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: It is appalling. This is this is not the Sydney
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: that we know and not the Sydney that we love,
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: that's for sure. I just think it's absolutely appalling. Let's
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: move on now to those scenes that we saw in
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: the Senate. One Nation leader Pauline Hanson. She's doubled down
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: after calling Lydia Thorpe the B word during what really
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: was an explosive Senate spat, saying Thorpe was the one
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: who behaved badly. First, here's how it went down.
• 6:25
  Speaker 8: It's my heart to hear about these young children being
• 6:30
  Speaker 8: raped because no one wants to interfere or say anything
• 6:34
  Speaker 8: because it's cultural.
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: Is that what you're trying to tell you?
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: What is.
• 6:40
  Speaker 9: Immature?
• 6:41
  Speaker 10: You are?
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: You have no.
• 6:44
  Speaker 8: So immature?
• 6:46
  Speaker 6: I wish you would actually start fighting for these drained
• 6:48
  Speaker 6: people there here listening to you.
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: They want some representation here.
• 6:52
  Speaker 10: She's got me, bitch, Senator Thorpe, Do you have a
• 6:56
  Speaker 10: point of order?
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: I do? I just got called a bitch by the racist.
• 7:04
  Speaker 10: I remind senators to use respectful language at all times
• 7:07
  Speaker 10: in the chamber, including when they're not speaking.
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: So ah, good grief. The One Nation later, Senator statement.
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: I apologize if the public heard me call Senator thorpe
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: b I tcge. However, I don't take back what I said.
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: If the weak Liberal chair won't pull her head up
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: for screaming like a banshee, I will. Well, Adam, I'll
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: tell you what the set it's not that exciting ever,
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: but I thought that yesterday it was actually what to watch?
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: What do you make about how it all went down?
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: That's true.
• 7:35
  Speaker 5: Well, look, I think many Australians would have been disappointed
• 7:37
  Speaker 5: with that sort of waste of time. But I think
• 7:40
  Speaker 5: Pauline Hanson was in the right there. You know, she behaved,
• 7:43
  Speaker 5: she wasn't raising her voice, she wasn't being ebusive.
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: It was the Green senator who was.
• 7:48
  Speaker 5: And I can completely understand why Senator Hanson was triggered
• 7:51
  Speaker 5: by that. But I think overall it's just a it's
• 7:54
  Speaker 5: just an embarrassing exchange for our senator. I think it
• 7:56
  Speaker 5: just does to show it's a lot of name calling
• 7:58
  Speaker 5: and politics. But but actually I think it's you know,
• 8:01
  Speaker 5: I think it's good for one nation actually that exchange.
• 8:03
  Speaker 5: I think when Pauline Hansen is called a racist by
• 8:06
  Speaker 5: the Greens or some people in the labor party that
• 8:09
  Speaker 5: it actually increases support for one nation.
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: So I'm sure she's quite happy about it.
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: Yes, I absolutely agree. I think you raise a good point, Adam,
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: and just to that because every time Louise, you know,
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: she's called a racist or a bigot, it actually emboldens
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: the base because and emboldens a lot of Australians who
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: are the quiet Australians who actually agree with the policies
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: and agree with what she's saying. So it doesn't do
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: her any bad, that's what.
• 8:32
  Speaker 6: Sure, that's right, and they feel heard by her and
• 8:34
  Speaker 6: the things that she raises, and they're very real concerns
• 8:36
  Speaker 6: which get dismissed by Labor and the Greens and so
• 8:39
  Speaker 6: you know, Lyddy though, for example, who's this whole political
• 8:42
  Speaker 6: brand based on confrontation? And often wonder when I see
• 8:45
  Speaker 6: her let rip with yet another insult or another sort
• 8:48
  Speaker 6: of performance in the set, in her day to day job,
• 8:50
  Speaker 6: what's she actually contributing or what she's doing effectively for people?
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: In great question?
• 8:55
  Speaker 6: I just don't know, because every time I see her
• 8:58
  Speaker 6: or story about her, it's her yelling or in soul
• 9:00
  Speaker 6: someone or making a spectacle of herself. Yeah, particularly like
• 9:03
  Speaker 6: King Charles is the.
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: Perfect aren't Oh gosh? Yeah, well, well that's it. She
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: loves the headline. She loves to be in the headlines
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: more than actually she does putting forward some ideal suggestions
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: to make this a better country. That's a great point,
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: No chance, exactly. Let's go to Victoria where the premier
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: is into Alan. She's revealed more details about her government's
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: work from home laws, which have now come into effects.
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: So every business will be forced to let their employees
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: work from home at least two days a week, provided
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: the job allows for it, with no exemptions for small businesses.
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: This is her this morning. If you can do your
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: job from home, we are going to protect your right
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: to do so, no matter the size of the workplace. Adam,
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: I don't agree with this at all because in the end,
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: work from home policies should be up to the employee
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: and the employer. It should not be up to a
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: government to then dictate this is what you should be doing.
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: What do you think?
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: Yeah, look, I think that's completely right.
• 9:58
  Speaker 5: It's an outrageous intervention into the world workings of businesses,
• 10:00
  Speaker 5: including small businesses, you know, which are all going to
• 10:03
  Speaker 5: have a lot more paperwork now a lot more costs
• 10:05
  Speaker 5: because of this, But I suspect the take up rate
• 10:08
  Speaker 5: won't be very high. Firstly because I don't think it's constitutional.
• 10:11
  Speaker 5: I think it's going to be challenged, and Victoria has
• 10:13
  Speaker 5: given up all its industrial relations powers many many years
• 10:16
  Speaker 5: ago to the federal government, so I don't even think
• 10:18
  Speaker 5: it's legal.
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: But also from an economic.
• 10:20
  Speaker 5: Point of view, if you choose to work at home
• 10:22
  Speaker 5: for two days, then you'll probably put yourself on a
• 10:25
  Speaker 5: list that you'd be first to be sacked or first
• 10:27
  Speaker 5: to be laid off if there was a downturn or
• 10:30
  Speaker 5: a session or the business didn't go so well.
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: So I don't think that you'd be volunteering for that necessarily.
• 10:35
  Speaker 5: And also with AI, I mean, if you can do
• 10:37
  Speaker 5: your job from home, then you know probably your job
• 10:40
  Speaker 5: can be done by AI too, So I don't know
• 10:42
  Speaker 5: if i'd be self selecting for that list.
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: Actually yeah, no, no.
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: You're you're absolutely right. But look, the COVID days are over, Louise,
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: and I don't look there are exemptions for people who
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: want to work from home. I'm not saying that, but
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: the thing is, when you've got a government putting their
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: finger in every single part as it is, and now
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: work from home. I wonder there's a number of insolvencies
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: across the country as it is.
• 11:06
  Speaker 6: That's right, it's really smashing small businesses, Adam says as well.
• 11:09
  Speaker 6: And I think the breathtaking government overreach here is that
• 11:12
  Speaker 6: they haven't even tested whether it will hurt or help productivity.
• 11:16
  Speaker 6: I think it will hurt productivity, but just gone full
• 11:18
  Speaker 6: steam ahead anyway. It's just been her absolute passion to
• 11:22
  Speaker 6: enforce this crazy work from home legislation. When businesses who
• 11:27
  Speaker 6: can do the flexibility are already doing it. They don't
• 11:29
  Speaker 6: need the government overreach telling how to run their businesses.
• 11:31
  Speaker 6: So to your point, insolvencies will go up the small
• 11:34
  Speaker 6: businesses who are already on their knees with land tax
• 11:36
  Speaker 6: and everything else in Victoria thinking why does the state
• 11:39
  Speaker 6: government support us? Why are we being punished for being
• 11:42
  Speaker 6: a small business?
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: Yep, land tax, ir legislation, energy bills through the roof,
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: and now work from home mandates. Where to the end
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: for small businesses? It's just ridiculous. Alloy's Roberts Adam Crichton.
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: Great to have you both on the show. Thank you
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: so much for joining me. Appreciate it. Or Donald Trump
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: not ruled out sending US ground troops into Iran. In
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: his first public appearance since the attack began, the President
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: justified the military campaign.
• 12:09
  Speaker 11: An Iranian regime armed with long range missiles and nuclear
• 12:13
  Speaker 11: weapons would be an intolerable threat to the Middle East,
• 12:17
  Speaker 11: but also to the American people. Our country itself would
• 12:23
  Speaker 11: be under threat, and it was very nearly under threat.
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: Joining us now is Sky News contributor Kosher Gada Kosher,
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: good to see you, Thanks for joining me. How do
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: you see this playing out? I mean, many defense experts
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: have already said that an air campaign alone is simply
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: not enough. Is boots on the ground realistically inevitable here?
• 12:46
  Speaker 12: That is one of the many central questions Nika that
• 12:49
  Speaker 12: people are grappling with. And this war does remain quite
• 12:54
  Speaker 12: controversial and has lots of camps and factions, including from
• 12:59
  Speaker 12: Trump's b that are not that wild about it. And
• 13:02
  Speaker 12: this would be one of the big reasons for that.
• 13:04
  Speaker 12: It depends on what the objectives are, and I know
• 13:07
  Speaker 12: that the President has come out and given some of them,
• 13:09
  Speaker 12: but even that messaging has been.
• 13:11
  Speaker 13: A little bit all over the map.
• 13:12
  Speaker 12: In the last few hours and so a couple of days,
• 13:15
  Speaker 12: I should say, and so if the goal is regime change,
• 13:18
  Speaker 12: which many in the Trump camp would hopefully say that
• 13:20
  Speaker 12: is not the goal, it is hard to imagine that
• 13:22
  Speaker 12: happening without boots on the ground. That's what defense experts
• 13:25
  Speaker 12: say that it's just really hard to do that.
• 13:27
  Speaker 13: From the air.
• 13:28
  Speaker 12: If the goal is just destroying military capability further their
• 13:32
  Speaker 12: missiles programmed, their navy fleet, etc. That could be done
• 13:36
  Speaker 12: with fewer or hopefully no boots on the ground. So
• 13:38
  Speaker 12: I think as the objectives become a little bit more clear,
• 13:41
  Speaker 12: the answer to the question you're asking will also become clear.
• 13:43
  Speaker 12: But right now the president has said it himself in
• 13:46
  Speaker 12: that he's not ruling it out, and that makes a
• 13:48
  Speaker 12: lot of people very nervous.
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah, look absolutely, And just on that you did mention
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: that the Donald Trump has laid out some of those objectives.
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: We've got them. Let's have a listen.
• 13:59
  Speaker 11: Objectives are clear.
• 14:00
  Speaker 13: First, we're.
• 14:02
  Speaker 11: Destroying orends missile capabilities, and you see that happening on
• 14:06
  Speaker 11: an hourly basis. We're annihilating their navy. We've knocked out
• 14:11
  Speaker 11: already ten ships. They're at the bottom of the seat
• 14:15
  Speaker 11: and they were just a.
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: Few that he mentioned. Kosher But what does this mean
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: for Donald Trump politically? He's got clear objectives. Clearly he
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: does want to bring peace to the region, and I
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: certainly give him a lot of credit for actually having
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: the goal to go in and do this. No other
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: leader has had the courage to take on a regime.
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: But does that come at a cost or is he
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: supported by the magabase, especially in a midterm year.
• 14:41
  Speaker 12: That is what I was alluding to in my earlier piece.
• 14:43
  Speaker 12: Right now, Look, it's early days, We're in the fog
• 14:45
  Speaker 12: of war, so this can go in any which way. Still,
• 14:48
  Speaker 12: many directions are possible, but right now he is paying
• 14:51
  Speaker 12: a price.
• 14:51
  Speaker 13: Politically for it.
• 14:52
  Speaker 12: He has consistently been the anti war president, president of peace,
• 14:57
  Speaker 12: peace through strength, but not through active military engagement, and
• 15:00
  Speaker 12: well before he even entered the political arena, he is consistently
• 15:03
  Speaker 12: on the record criticizing the Bush years and the Iraq
• 15:06
  Speaker 12: War and earned this moniker as being a president who
• 15:10
  Speaker 12: started no new wars in his first term and all
• 15:12
  Speaker 12: the rest of it. So this is getting people a
• 15:14
  Speaker 12: little bit turning into a little bit of a head
• 15:16
  Speaker 12: scratcher from him, because maybe I do believe that he
• 15:20
  Speaker 12: hasn't made the case very well preemptively. He's come out
• 15:23
  Speaker 12: right now with those objectives, and more will be told.
• 15:25
  Speaker 12: If this wraps up quickly and he can consolidate his power,
• 15:29
  Speaker 12: and it looks something like Operation Midnight Hammer, the twelve
• 15:32
  Speaker 12: Day War from June, or even the Operation in Venezuela,
• 15:36
  Speaker 12: something like that, quickly, tightly and minimal US casualties, though
• 15:40
  Speaker 12: sadly there already have been six, then I think the
• 15:43
  Speaker 12: American people will move on. And if coupling that, he's
• 15:45
  Speaker 12: doing well on the domestic agenda, it'll be fine. If
• 15:48
  Speaker 12: he does get sucked into boots on the ground, even
• 15:51
  Speaker 12: at a smaller scale like we just talked about, or
• 15:53
  Speaker 12: it stretches on for beyond a few weeks, which is
• 15:55
  Speaker 12: what he's signaling. Hopefully it'll be no more than then
• 15:59
  Speaker 12: this will politically, and already he's a little bit on
• 16:02
  Speaker 12: defense the Republicans broadly speaking, with the midterm elections looming,
• 16:07
  Speaker 12: a Democrats seem to be on offense. They've picked up
• 16:08
  Speaker 12: some wins recently, and this just now throws a whole
• 16:12
  Speaker 12: new rent into the mix, and he does if Republicans
• 16:16
  Speaker 12: do lose the midterms, that is going to cost him politically.
• 16:19
  Speaker 12: It's going to cost him personally because the Democrats will
• 16:21
  Speaker 12: pursue impeachment and his hall agenda for the last two
• 16:23
  Speaker 12: years of his presidency will be facing a lot of
• 16:27
  Speaker 12: opposition from.
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: The Yeah, look, it remains to be seen, but yeah,
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: to your point, I mean, if this does wrap up quickly,
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: then this has to be one of the greatest foreign
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: policy achievements in modern history. I would say the Secretary
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: of War, Pete Hegseth, he gave an outstanding speech. He's
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: I guess, shed some light on Operation Epic Fury, claiming
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: it is laser focused and designed to destroy the Iranian
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: missile production. But this particular part stood out in particular.
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: Have a listen, if you.
• 16:56
  Speaker 14: Kill Americans, if you threaten Americans anywhere on Earth, we
• 17:00
  Speaker 14: will hunt you down without apology and without hesitation, and
• 17:05
  Speaker 14: we will kill you well kosher.
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: That's strong that there's no mucking around there. This is
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: sending a clear warning to America's enemies. What does it
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: say about the War Department?
• 17:18
  Speaker 12: Unmistakable for sure. And you know, Pete Hagsatt, of course,
• 17:21
  Speaker 12: is not responsible for the decision and the calculus thereof
• 17:24
  Speaker 12: that we've discussed before in the political price. He is
• 17:27
  Speaker 12: responsible for executing on the mission. Once a commander in chief,
• 17:30
  Speaker 12: the president has made the decision, which he did, and
• 17:32
  Speaker 12: in so far as that role goes, it is such
• 17:35
  Speaker 12: an upgrade from Lloyd Austin, who was his predecessor in
• 17:38
  Speaker 12: the Biden years, just in terms of the way he speaks,
• 17:40
  Speaker 12: not mincing words.
• 17:42
  Speaker 13: We've seen.
• 17:42
  Speaker 12: Now this is the third military operation that the US
• 17:45
  Speaker 12: has conducted, and it really has done the world. From
• 17:48
  Speaker 12: the prowess of the Special Ops team and capturing Maduro
• 17:50
  Speaker 12: without sustaining a single casualty in Venezuela to Midnight Hammer
• 17:56
  Speaker 12: to now even this one so far, just the might
• 17:57
  Speaker 12: of the air power and the logistical coordination and everything
• 18:01
  Speaker 12: else it is. The American military still does reign supreme.
• 18:05
  Speaker 12: Even as we've got other countries like China and other
• 18:08
  Speaker 12: militaries building up. The American military is second to none,
• 18:11
  Speaker 12: and heaving the face of it and the voice for it,
• 18:15
  Speaker 12: it certainly makes no mistake and makes that statement clear
• 18:19
  Speaker 12: for anybody who might be thinking of threatening Americans.
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: As he says, yeah, absolutely, And I think it also
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: blows up the whole Democrat and Left narrative. I mean,
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: they're saying, oh, no, we should have engaged in a
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: lot of diplomacy where you can't trust the Ayatolla, you
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: can't trust that regime. And I just thought that Pete
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: Hegseth put it so strongly and just very very well worded.
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: That's for sure. Now. Israel, on the other hand, is
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: fighting Iran now on its proxies, so two fronts. A
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: resurgent Hezbollah has attacked the country's north to avenge the
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: killing of the Ayatola. I mean, look, this was I
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: guess inevitable kosher. While the head of a snake has
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: been cut off, so to speak, how big now? Now
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: are the risk of these proxy groups coming in and
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: trying to resurrect the ideology.
• 19:07
  Speaker 12: So the proxy network definitely seems to be weakened from
• 19:10
  Speaker 12: everything that's gone on really in the past two years
• 19:12
  Speaker 12: leading up to this point. Israel has been fighting a
• 19:15
  Speaker 12: lot of them. Of course, Hamas and Gaza are significantly
• 19:19
  Speaker 12: dismantled fully or not fully, but almost fully. We could
• 19:22
  Speaker 12: say Hezbola is weakened, even though they're popping up again
• 19:26
  Speaker 12: with this, but Israel has been fighting them for a
• 19:29
  Speaker 12: long time and they're probably the weakest that they have
• 19:31
  Speaker 12: been in some time. The Huthis have sort of been quiet.
• 19:35
  Speaker 12: There's still a threat, but with Iran significantly weakened and
• 19:39
  Speaker 12: not having not being able to back them, it does
• 19:41
  Speaker 12: certainly suggest that they are not at their strongest point either.
• 19:46
  Speaker 12: There are other militias in Iraq and Syria things like
• 19:48
  Speaker 12: that that maybe are intact but just get a little
• 19:51
  Speaker 12: bit more scattered when the head of the snake, as
• 19:54
  Speaker 12: you say, is weakened. The last one though, that I
• 19:57
  Speaker 12: think is also important to think about in terms of
• 19:59
  Speaker 12: their p network is sleeper cells potentially, And this is
• 20:03
  Speaker 12: one back to why the decision is a little bit
• 20:05
  Speaker 12: controversial back home. Going into this is how many sleeper
• 20:08
  Speaker 12: cells are there of people that were sympathetic to the
• 20:11
  Speaker 12: Aatola's regime in the US and other western countries in
• 20:14
  Speaker 12: the world, and especially in the US given the illegal
• 20:17
  Speaker 12: immigration problem that we had in the last four years in.
• 20:19
  Speaker 13: Particular, so many people have poured into the country.
• 20:22
  Speaker 12: We don't know who they are and are any of
• 20:23
  Speaker 12: them potentially proxies beyond the traditional ones that I just
• 20:27
  Speaker 12: covered that could be activated and will we see terror
• 20:30
  Speaker 12: attacks on the homeland That is still a question mark
• 20:33
  Speaker 12: and that keeps a lot of people.
• 20:34
  Speaker 13: Up at night.
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a really good question. Look, there are so
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: many unknowns, but I did think it was interesting how
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: the axis of evil has been taken out since October seven.
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: And again it's taken the courage of Israel and now
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: the courage of the United States to get rid of
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: the heads of the snake. A lot of the leaders,
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: you know, hamas ya Ya Sinhwa has runnzraalat Hazblas. So
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: it's been fascinating to see. It's a shame it took
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: October seven to get to this point. Let's talk about
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: the liberal media coverage on this. It's been, unsurprisingly an
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: absolute disgrace. The New York Times headline Iatola ali Hemani,
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: hardline cleric who made a run a regional power, is dead.
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: I mean seriously, it puts a positive spin on it.
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: But this actual article. It said, with his bushy white
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: beard and easy smile, Iatola Harmioni cut a more vuncular
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: figure in public than his perpetually scowling but much more
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: revered mentor. And he was known to be fond of
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: Persian poetry and classic Western novels, especially Victor Hugo's Lame
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: miserab Look quite frankly, kosher I couldn't care less whether
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: he likes poetry or not. And I'm sure that the
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: Iranians who've been under persecution under a shoot to kill
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: policy couldn't give a toss about his poetry. They wouldn't
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: put Hitler on the front page and describe him like that.
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: What do you make of the coverage?
• 22:02
  Speaker 12: They're making complete fools of themselves. You know, the things
• 22:05
  Speaker 12: that can be debated about this, and the decision and
• 22:08
  Speaker 12: the timing and the tactics and all of that.
• 22:09
  Speaker 13: You know, there's legitimate discussions to be had.
• 22:12
  Speaker 12: But across people on all those camps, not a single
• 22:15
  Speaker 12: one is unhappy with the iotola would defend him or unhappy.
• 22:19
  Speaker 13: With him being removed.
• 22:20
  Speaker 12: Everybody agrees on that this was a very tyrannical head
• 22:25
  Speaker 12: of a very tyrannical regime that subjugated millions of people
• 22:27
  Speaker 12: for years, and to put that kind of gloss and
• 22:30
  Speaker 12: varnish on him, I think they're making fools in themselves.
• 22:33
  Speaker 12: People pointed out how they don't do that, or they
• 22:36
  Speaker 12: rush to go in the other direction. For Trump supporters
• 22:38
  Speaker 12: who've unfortunately, whether it's Charlie Kirk or others recently who've
• 22:42
  Speaker 12: passed away, they try to minimize and diminish them in
• 22:45
  Speaker 12: the headline and then they're.
• 22:46
  Speaker 13: Sort of puffing up the iotola. So, you know, good
• 22:49
  Speaker 13: job New York Times.
• 22:49
  Speaker 12: There's a reason why a lot of people don't take
• 22:51
  Speaker 12: them seriously anymore. And it's sad because it once was
• 22:54
  Speaker 12: the paper of record. But how the mighty have fallen?
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, once you start fawning over a dictator, that the
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: paper's gone absolutely backwards. Koshergarda, nice to see you as always,
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: Thanks very much for your time. Still to come. Lefties
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: Losing It and Bill and Hillary Clinton's video depositions on
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: their ties to Jeffrey Epstein have been released. Comedian Alex
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: Stein will break down the spectacle with me next. Now
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: it's time for Lefties Losing It strap in. Bill and
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: Hillary Clinton's video depositions on their ties to Jeffrey Epstein
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: have been released, and as expected, Hillary acted like an
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: unhinged lunatic.
• 23:40
  Speaker 15: And I'm going to answer your question, this was what
• 23:42
  Speaker 15: I spent my time doing. I'm trying to look out
• 23:46
  Speaker 15: for other and I was taking care of the people.
• 23:51
  Speaker 15: Thousand lives.
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's the it's the slamming of the hands
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: on the desk for me. This woman is crazy. She
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: is a shouting, screaming banshee. And over four hours she
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: was questioned about hobby Bill in the hot tub, hobby
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: Bill with unknown women, receivings, massages, even and with a
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: pedophile Epstein himself. So please watch and enjoy her just
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: sitting there while her deadbeat husband's misdemeanors are laid out
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: right in front of her.
• 24:27
  Speaker 9: Clinton was impeached on charges of perjury an obstruction of
• 24:30
  Speaker 9: justice were directly related to his extra marital fare with
• 24:33
  Speaker 9: Monica Lewinsky. Is that correct?
• 24:35
  Speaker 6: Yes?
• 24:36
  Speaker 9: And your husband was impeached for perjury related to sexual behavior.
• 24:39
  Speaker 16: Correct. I didn't understand what you've said.
• 24:41
  Speaker 9: Your husband was impeached for perjury related to sexual behavior.
• 24:45
  Speaker 13: His sexual behavior.
• 24:46
  Speaker 17: He was impeached for several several reasons, and then was acquitted.
• 24:53
  Speaker 16: In the Senate.
• 24:54
  Speaker 3: Oh that stiff upper lip, Please keep going.
• 24:58
  Speaker 9: Your husband appears in photos and swimming pools, hot dubs,
• 25:01
  Speaker 9: a poor boor Jeffrey Epton's private plane with unidentified young women.
• 25:07
  Speaker 13: We came here today and told this committee.
• 25:09
  Speaker 9: You told this committee that a pattern of behavior demands accountability.
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: Correct, I said, that.
• 25:15
  Speaker 17: I believe the committee should call anyone who had a
• 25:18
  Speaker 17: substantial pattern in practice of contact with Jeffrey Epstein and
• 25:24
  Speaker 17: his crimes before they.
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: Came to light. And does that includes her husband? And
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: after they came to light. You're going to have a
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: chance to question him tomorrow. Isn't it just delicious? I
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: mean it must be absolutely exhausting for Hillary has to
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: keep making excuses for her husband Clinton. And as she
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: was giving evidence, a photo from inside was leaked of her,
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: and that is when the raging beast was unleashed, and
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: she morphed into a complete lunatic and went into derangement mode.
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: I've done with this.
• 25:53
  Speaker 13: If you guys are doing that, I am done.
• 25:54
  Speaker 17: You can hold me a contempt from now until the
• 25:56
  Speaker 17: cows come home.
• 25:57
  Speaker 4: This is just typical behavior.
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: Again, how that promissible for the hearing voice?
• 26:02
  Speaker 13: It doesn't matter.
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: We all are abiding by the same rules.
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: I will take that down.
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I would like to take a break at
• 26:09
  Speaker 3: this point.
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: I'd like to have I've gone for now.
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: I mean, she's truly horrifying, like a wild cave woman
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: who hasn't seen daylight before. And then there was Bill.
• 26:20
  Speaker 9: And Assist who testified in the Epstein cases that Epstein
• 26:23
  Speaker 9: said you quote like them young? Why would Epstein say
• 26:27
  Speaker 9: that about you?
• 26:31
  Speaker 16: First of all, that's not true.
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: Is an intern young?
• 26:41
  Speaker 16: Yes?
• 26:43
  Speaker 3: Did you ever think of that when you engaged in
• 26:46
  Speaker 3: an affair with Monica Lewinsky? Bill? Oh, and it got worse?
• 26:50
  Speaker 9: Do you think a young girl massaging a president is unusual?
• 26:55
  Speaker 16: I have no idea to tell objection.
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: He doesn't know He's got no oh idea? Apparently? Is
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: that what you meant when Monica Lewinsky was giving you massages? Bill?
• 27:06
  Speaker 3: But elsewhere? And let's not forget Jeffrey Epstein visited the
• 27:10
  Speaker 3: White House seventeen times while he was president, and Clinton
• 27:13
  Speaker 3: flew on the Lalita Express that's Epstein's plane, twenty seven times.
• 27:19
  Speaker 3: And now to the left, hissy fits over the US
• 27:21
  Speaker 3: is raul strikes on Iran starting with the bitter banchees
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: over at the view, specifically sad old Sonny Houston.
• 27:29
  Speaker 18: This is an illegal war. This is an unconstitutional war.
• 27:32
  Speaker 18: Only Congress can wage war into pre war. And so
• 27:36
  Speaker 18: that's the first thing I think we have to call
• 27:37
  Speaker 18: a thing of things. So this is an illegal war.
• 27:39
  Speaker 18: This is a presidential war. I thought this was going
• 27:41
  Speaker 18: to be the President of peace. I thought this president
• 27:44
  Speaker 18: wanted to win a Nobel Peace Prize for peace. That
• 27:47
  Speaker 18: is not what I'm seeing. He didn't go to Congress,
• 27:49
  Speaker 18: he didn't go to the UN, he didn't go before
• 27:51
  Speaker 18: the American people.
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: Honestly, why is this woman always so hysterical? Get some help,
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: Get some help for this chronic and acute case of TDS.
• 27:59
  Speaker 3: It's not normal about his abnormal as Sack to see
• 28:02
  Speaker 3: and n host don Lemon.
• 28:04
  Speaker 16: You want to know how Donald Trump's lying. His lips
• 28:07
  Speaker 16: are moving. He is so fully. I'm the President of peace.
• 28:11
  Speaker 16: I'm going to stop all these wars. I'm going to
• 28:12
  Speaker 16: get us out of the endless wars.
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: He always says that about other people, about himself.
• 28:17
  Speaker 3: Look, Trump lives in this guy's head, rent free. I mean,
• 28:20
  Speaker 3: these unhinden shrills don't actually realize that Iran wanted this.
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: And then there's the Ken Dole of California, Gavin Newsom,
• 28:28
  Speaker 3: who's taken a break from the palatial mansion to give
• 28:30
  Speaker 3: this PSA on the Middle East.
• 28:33
  Speaker 19: Donald Trump spent more time talking about his ballroom than
• 28:35
  Speaker 19: he did about the loss of those lives.
• 28:38
  Speaker 16: Review the tape.
• 28:41
  Speaker 19: Spend more time talking about the curtains and his ballroom
• 28:45
  Speaker 19: than into the four service members that died because of
• 28:49
  Speaker 19: his operation. In his declaration of war without congressional consent,
• 28:52
  Speaker 19: he still has not articulated clear vision of what the
• 28:56
  Speaker 19: end game is. Period full stop.
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: Period full stop. Why don't you get back to your
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: miracle hair growth cream application? And what is it with
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: the democrats obsession with Lyne?
• 29:07
  Speaker 7: Their argument that there was an imminent thread of nuclear
• 29:10
  Speaker 7: attack on the American people is bogus on its face.
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: We know the Ranians don't have that capacity.
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: No, never mind, Iran was building up its nuclear arsenal
• 29:19
  Speaker 3: and persisting with its ballistic missile program threatening the West
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: on the daily. But no, no, no bogus. And then
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: there's Representative Hakam Jeffries.
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: There's nowhere in the United States Constitution where it says
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: that we are to be the police men and women
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: of the world. I mean, that's the reality. Yes, we
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: are the leaders of the free world at this particular
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: point in time, but there's a role for the United
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: States to play in terms of diplomacy building coalitions.
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: Well, let me expose the hypocrisy I present Democrat vision
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: of years gone by that's come back to halt them.
• 29:54
  Speaker 20: I want the Iranians to know that if I'm the president,
• 29:57
  Speaker 20: we will attack Iran. Whatever stage of development they might
• 30:01
  Speaker 20: be in their nuclear weapons program in the next ten years,
• 30:05
  Speaker 20: during which they might foolishly consider launching an attack on Israel,
• 30:09
  Speaker 20: we would be able to totally obliterate them.
• 30:13
  Speaker 21: Saying that the president did not need authorization initially and
• 30:18
  Speaker 21: still does not need any.
• 30:19
  Speaker 16: Authorization from Congress one Libya.
• 30:23
  Speaker 3: Yes ah, I wish that was played to Nancy right now.
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: And that is some serious Trump derangement syndrome. A couple
• 30:30
  Speaker 3: has been refused service at Smoothie King because the guy
• 30:34
  Speaker 3: was wearing a Trump sweater.
• 30:36
  Speaker 22: We were just wanting a smoothie and you literally looked
• 30:38
  Speaker 22: at us and I asked you if everything was okay.
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: You said, we don't feel comfortable serving you because of
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: my husband's hoodie. That is discrimination, that is illegal.
• 30:50
  Speaker 3: I mean, can you believe it? A sweater? A sweater
• 30:53
  Speaker 3: has sent the lefties and this is the delightful creature
• 30:56
  Speaker 3: behind it.
• 30:58
  Speaker 8: Really the day right after Black History Month and that's
• 31:02
  Speaker 8: when Dortha asked us if there was an issue, and
• 31:05
  Speaker 8: that's when mich coworker said like, yeah, we're uncomfortable because
• 31:09
  Speaker 8: of your sweater of your husband's sweater, and she was
• 31:12
  Speaker 8: taking an order on the headset for the drive through.
• 31:14
  Speaker 8: And then so that's why I that's why I was
• 31:16
  Speaker 8: doing most of the talking, because you know, she was
• 31:17
  Speaker 8: attending to the customer. So that's like, yeah, like we
• 31:20
  Speaker 8: are uncomfortable. And then that's when he immediately gets loud,
• 31:24
  Speaker 8: as you can see guys in my video, and we're
• 31:25
  Speaker 8: just saying like, yeah, like we're uncomfortable, blah blah blah blah,
• 31:27
  Speaker 8: and he immediately gets out of like discrimination, you're discriminating
• 31:30
  Speaker 8: against us.
• 31:31
  Speaker 3: Why did I all look and sound the same? Very strange. Well,
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: Hollywood's back at it again. By the way, he is
• 31:37
  Speaker 3: actress Sophia Bush trying to separate people by the color
• 31:40
  Speaker 3: of their skin.
• 31:42
  Speaker 23: As the white friend at this event, I'm gonna go
• 31:44
  Speaker 23: ahead and say to the women who look like me,
• 31:46
  Speaker 23: to the man who look like me, It's incredibly important
• 31:48
  Speaker 23: to remember that so much of what we love in
• 31:51
  Speaker 23: America comes from black culture, and white people need to
• 31:55
  Speaker 23: show up for black people the way they show up
• 31:58
  Speaker 23: to be entertained by black culture. So given who's in office,
• 32:03
  Speaker 23: and given what we're seeing happening to black and brown
• 32:05
  Speaker 23: communities in our country, we better get our together.
• 32:09
  Speaker 3: And one last thing, remember how everything was going to
• 32:11
  Speaker 3: be free in New York under Zora and Ma'am Darmi newsplash.
• 32:16
  Speaker 3: It's not.
• 32:17
  Speaker 22: What he promised was a free boss for everybody, grocery
• 32:21
  Speaker 22: stores run by the government for you know, poor people
• 32:24
  Speaker 22: to get food, which is a good thing, I think,
• 32:27
  Speaker 22: and that rent was going to go down.
• 32:28
  Speaker 13: Those were like the big three things.
• 32:29
  Speaker 22: He promised everybody. So today he's got his first meeting
• 32:32
  Speaker 22: with the city about the budget, and what he says is,
• 32:35
  Speaker 22: I'm raising property taxes on everybody by ten percent. Okay,
• 32:40
  Speaker 22: Brent's not going to go down. Actually he's draining a
• 32:42
  Speaker 22: billion dollars from the ringing gape on which I don't
• 32:45
  Speaker 22: even know what that is, but this will sound good.
• 32:47
  Speaker 22: And none of the free stuff that he promises actually happened.
• 32:50
  Speaker 3: Who would have thought you get for what you pay for?
• 32:52
  Speaker 3: After all? For joining me now, is comedian Alex Stein.
• 32:57
  Speaker 3: Alex good to say he was always thanks for joining me.
• 32:59
  Speaker 3: We've got to start with Bill and Hillary Clinton's evidence
• 33:02
  Speaker 3: to the House Oversight Committee investigating their ties to Jeffrey Epstein. Gee,
• 33:06
  Speaker 3: how was Hillary what an absolute unhinged lunatic.
• 33:12
  Speaker 21: Yeah, I mean really, what I thought was most stunning
• 33:14
  Speaker 21: is the fact that she wore a blue pants suit
• 33:17
  Speaker 21: when her husband is so famously known for being with
• 33:21
  Speaker 21: an intern.
• 33:21
  Speaker 16: With a blue dress.
• 33:22
  Speaker 21: So I thought that that was a very weird choice,
• 33:24
  Speaker 21: almost like she was trying to play some sort of
• 33:26
  Speaker 21: joke on us. And then seeing Bill today, you know,
• 33:29
  Speaker 21: it's disgusting what he did with Jeffrey Epstein, but there
• 33:32
  Speaker 21: is something charming about him, you know, just his attitude,
• 33:36
  Speaker 21: his cavalier attitude, Like he definitely I can see why
• 33:39
  Speaker 21: he was the president of the United States of America.
• 33:41
  Speaker 16: Yeah.
• 33:42
  Speaker 3: Well, I mean he was just as bad, wasn't he. He
• 33:43
  Speaker 3: couldn't give a straight answer about that hub the hot
• 33:46
  Speaker 3: tub photo, and why he got a massage from an
• 33:49
  Speaker 3: Epstein victim. Yep, this was interesting. He actually vindicated Donald Trump.
• 33:54
  Speaker 3: Have a listen, the president.
• 33:57
  Speaker 16: This is twenty something years ago.
• 34:00
  Speaker 23: Anything to me to make me think he was involved
• 34:03
  Speaker 23: in anything improfitable regard to I've seen either.
• 34:08
  Speaker 13: He just didn't.
• 34:10
  Speaker 3: Well, I mean, Trump's basically being vindicated there.
• 34:12
  Speaker 21: What do you think I mean that definitely helps. But honestly,
• 34:17
  Speaker 21: Bill Clinton is probably guilty of a laundry list of
• 34:20
  Speaker 21: crimes as well as his wife, So I think he
• 34:22
  Speaker 21: knows where his bread is buttered. So he's not gonna
• 34:24
  Speaker 21: pick on Donald Trump when Donald Trump's on the record
• 34:26
  Speaker 21: saying that he likes Bill Clinton and that he respected
• 34:29
  Speaker 21: Bill Clinton because he actually took his run for the
• 34:31
  Speaker 21: presidency seriously when a lot of other people didn't. So
• 34:34
  Speaker 21: they both like each other. And I do think that
• 34:36
  Speaker 21: there's no evidence that links Donald Trump to any sort
• 34:39
  Speaker 21: of crimes. Now, was he friends with the guy for
• 34:42
  Speaker 21: a little bit, Yes, but then he immediately, you know,
• 34:44
  Speaker 21: kicked him out of his country club, made it where
• 34:46
  Speaker 21: they were no longer acquaintances or friends.
• 34:48
  Speaker 16: So I mean, at this point, there's no evidence that
• 34:50
  Speaker 16: he did anything.
• 34:51
  Speaker 21: So I appreciate Bill Clinton, but I do believe that
• 34:54
  Speaker 21: he's being honest when he says that. Yeah.
• 34:56
  Speaker 3: Well, I mean, if the Dems had a smoking gun,
• 34:57
  Speaker 3: I'm sure they would have released it by now, but
• 34:59
  Speaker 3: released during the election campaign that they never did. Let's
• 35:03
  Speaker 3: talk about the woke left's response to the strikes on Iran.
• 35:06
  Speaker 3: Are here are Iranians actually celebrating, And here Alex is
• 35:23
  Speaker 3: a side by side of celebrations versus the left. Compare
• 35:40
  Speaker 3: the pair, Alex. What does that say about the derangement
• 35:43
  Speaker 3: happening right now?
• 35:45
  Speaker 21: Well, there's a lot of derangement. But if we're going
• 35:47
  Speaker 21: to just you know, be an umpire and cold balls
• 35:49
  Speaker 21: and strikes, there's a lot of derangement on the right
• 35:51
  Speaker 21: as well, because everybody on the raid said, we're voting
• 35:53
  Speaker 21: for Donald Trump because there's no new wars that are
• 35:55
  Speaker 21: going to happen under his presidency.
• 35:56
  Speaker 16: So believe it or not, there are a lot of people.
• 35:58
  Speaker 21: That want to protest a isn't a matter of fact
• 36:00
  Speaker 21: on both sides, which is I guess a little surprising.
• 36:03
  Speaker 21: But at the end of the day, the people in
• 36:05
  Speaker 21: Iran are going to have a much better life, not
• 36:08
  Speaker 21: under an Iatola. But I just think that the rebuilding
• 36:11
  Speaker 21: process is going to be incredibly difficult, and then I
• 36:14
  Speaker 21: hope the war ends as soon as possible and that
• 36:16
  Speaker 21: we don't lose any more American lives, because I'm telling
• 36:19
  Speaker 21: you this is actually unpopular on both sides of the aisle,
• 36:22
  Speaker 21: if I'm just being honest.
• 36:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah, look, it's going to be interesting to see, especially
• 36:26
  Speaker 3: how the next weeks and months pan out Alex has
• 36:29
  Speaker 3: been revealed that an anti war protest set to take
• 36:31
  Speaker 3: place outside Pallenteers New Miami headquarters is actually being funded
• 36:35
  Speaker 3: and organized by a pro China network backed by a
• 36:39
  Speaker 3: guy he's a Marxist American tech tycoon, Nevil Roy Singham,
• 36:43
  Speaker 3: alongside various other left wing organizations. It comes amid speculation
• 36:46
  Speaker 3: that a number of left wing protests sweeping America are
• 36:50
  Speaker 3: professionally backed, and according to Fox News, well many media
• 36:53
  Speaker 3: outlets are calling these protests organic and grassroots, some of
• 36:57
  Speaker 3: them are actually well coordinated and well funded as part
• 36:59
  Speaker 3: of a wider anti US strategy. Are you surprised by this?
• 37:05
  Speaker 16: I'm not surprised whatsoever.
• 37:06
  Speaker 21: You know, I go to protests all over the country,
• 37:08
  Speaker 21: and I've been doing it for the last six years.
• 37:10
  Speaker 21: And I you know, because I do it in Dallas,
• 37:13
  Speaker 21: and I do it of course in other places, but
• 37:14
  Speaker 21: this is my hometown. I see the same organizers that
• 37:18
  Speaker 21: do the same events, and they go from cause to
• 37:20
  Speaker 21: cause because they make, you know, high six figure salaries,
• 37:23
  Speaker 21: and they're able to use Facebook groups, Telegram telegram groups,
• 37:27
  Speaker 21: discord groups, and they basically do have a kind of
• 37:30
  Speaker 21: grassroots campaign other than they pay the people to go there.
• 37:33
  Speaker 21: And oftentimes when you see a normal protest or not
• 37:35
  Speaker 21: all of them are getting paid, but a lot of
• 37:37
  Speaker 21: them are getting paid one hundred bucks. But the real
• 37:40
  Speaker 21: person that makes all the money is the you know
• 37:42
  Speaker 21: organizer that's running all these groups.
• 37:44
  Speaker 16: So yes, this is a you know, well oiled machine.
• 37:47
  Speaker 21: They know how to fundraise all of these fake political
• 37:50
  Speaker 21: movements in China wants to keep America down, so they
• 37:54
  Speaker 21: want us fighting with each other.
• 37:55
  Speaker 16: So I'm not surprised whatsoever.
• 37:58
  Speaker 21: And I do think that they love what's happening right
• 37:59
  Speaker 21: now now, and they hope that they don't to get involved,
• 38:01
  Speaker 21: but they like that America is, you know, pushed to the.
• 38:05
  Speaker 16: Brink of a world war.
• 38:06
  Speaker 21: And really, I think on the world stage, it's not
• 38:09
  Speaker 21: really We're not looking too favorable. It's looking like us
• 38:11
  Speaker 21: in Israel or you know, making some people really mad.
• 38:14
  Speaker 21: So you know, at the end of the day, it's
• 38:16
  Speaker 21: just not a good situation. And these protests are highly
• 38:18
  Speaker 21: organized and now they're just taking advantage of the situation.
• 38:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely, they know exactly what they're doing. You're spot
• 38:26
  Speaker 3: on the first Lady Milania Trump, She's paid tribute to
• 38:30
  Speaker 3: the fallen troops in this conflict against Iran. She's now
• 38:33
  Speaker 3: the first US first lady to preside over the UN
• 38:36
  Speaker 3: Security Council. This is what she said.
• 38:39
  Speaker 24: My heartfelt condolences to the families who have lost their
• 38:43
  Speaker 24: heroes who sacrifice their lives for freedom. Their bravery and
• 38:49
  Speaker 24: dedication will always be remembered.
• 38:52
  Speaker 3: Alex, what do you make of her being the one
• 38:55
  Speaker 3: to appear or represent at the UN Security Council.
• 38:59
  Speaker 21: I think it's very honorable, and you know that that
• 39:01
  Speaker 21: room is not a very fun room to be in.
• 39:04
  Speaker 21: I can tell that she's probably getting stared at, and
• 39:06
  Speaker 21: you know, just the energy in that room is a
• 39:08
  Speaker 21: very tough place. And for her to go honor the
• 39:11
  Speaker 21: soldiers that we've lost, I think that's incredibly gracious of her.
• 39:14
  Speaker 21: I just hope we don't lose anymore, because, like I said,
• 39:17
  Speaker 21: this is not going to go well. And I do
• 39:19
  Speaker 21: really appreciate her going and speaking at the UN. But
• 39:22
  Speaker 21: I promise you she doesn't want to have to go
• 39:23
  Speaker 21: there and speak for you know, another ten, twenty thirty
• 39:26
  Speaker 21: or fifty even soldiers. So gosh, I hope this ins soon.
• 39:29
  Speaker 21: Is really sad. The loss of the American soldiers that
• 39:32
  Speaker 21: died in this war.
• 39:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, no, look absolutely, I just want to move
• 39:36
  Speaker 3: on to another topic. There's been an update in the
• 39:39
  Speaker 3: Austin shooting. This gunman wore a sweatshirt that said property
• 39:43
  Speaker 3: of Allah and another shirt with an Iranian flag design.
• 39:47
  Speaker 3: And now it's been revealed Alex this this guy's name
• 39:50
  Speaker 3: is Diana. Dian once mowed down a pedestrian in Brooklyn
• 39:55
  Speaker 3: while driving recklessly, disabling her full life. I guess investigations
• 40:01
  Speaker 3: will continue, but you know, another day, another shooting.
• 40:07
  Speaker 21: Yes, And I was in Austin on Friday. The night
• 40:10
  Speaker 21: before I had a comedy show and I went out
• 40:12
  Speaker 21: on Sixth Street with a bunch of friends. And this
• 40:16
  Speaker 21: is a very scary situation. And I'm not trying to
• 40:18
  Speaker 21: be so negative about the war, but this is the problem.
• 40:21
  Speaker 21: These are the repercussions that we face in America. Is
• 40:23
  Speaker 21: that now people are going to be more radicalized. And
• 40:26
  Speaker 21: I think a lot of these people are from Somalia,
• 40:28
  Speaker 21: a lot of these people are from North Africa, a
• 40:31
  Speaker 21: lot of these people are from Morocco. They're from all
• 40:33
  Speaker 21: over and they're not necessarily coming here to basically assimilate.
• 40:38
  Speaker 21: They're coming here to bring their culture. I mean, right
• 40:40
  Speaker 21: now we're having a whole problem with sharia law. Literally
• 40:44
  Speaker 21: in DFW, we're voting on it, you know, to ban it.
• 40:47
  Speaker 21: So this is like a I mean, I hate to
• 40:49
  Speaker 21: say it. It's a serious issue. I wish this was
• 40:51
  Speaker 21: a joke.
• 40:52
  Speaker 3: Alex Stein, nice to see as always, Thanks very much
• 40:54
  Speaker 3: for joining me. Still to come, Megan. Michael reportedly set
• 40:58
  Speaker 3: to return to the UK, speculation the King is considering
• 41:02
  Speaker 3: offering up Andrew's old abode. Comedian Michael Loftus is next.
• 41:16
  Speaker 3: Welcome back to Johnny Me Now is writer and comedian
• 41:19
  Speaker 3: Michael Loftis. Michael, good to see you. Thank you very
• 41:22
  Speaker 3: much for joining me. Let's start with this. I think
• 41:25
  Speaker 3: this is so bizarre. So Jim Kerry has addressed online
• 41:28
  Speaker 3: speculation that this wasn't really him on the red carpet
• 41:31
  Speaker 3: in France last week, with many pointing out how different
• 41:34
  Speaker 3: he seemed to look. Kerry emphatically confirmed to The Daily
• 41:38
  Speaker 3: Mail though that he definitely was indeed at the awards ceremony.
• 41:42
  Speaker 3: I don't know. This story is bizarre, Michael. He looked different.
• 41:46
  Speaker 3: What do you think.
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: Hopefully he's doing some kind of research for a sequel
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: to the mask, because that's what that looked like. That
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: looked like the mask, like the next generation or something.
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: And if it was Jim Carrey thoughts and prayers going
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: out to his plastic surgeon, that guy's gonna get sued.
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: There's somebody like Millers and botox and things pulled back
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: and just like when you get work like this, you
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: talk to your plastic surgeon, You're like, is anyone going
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: to know? I don't want people to know. Please, he's old.
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: I'll never never, No, it's on the front page of paper.
• 42:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the plastic surgeon's going out of business. He'll never
• 42:32
  Speaker 3: get another job again. But you're right, all these like
• 42:35
  Speaker 3: lines in his face, he just looked so wrong, like
• 42:38
  Speaker 3: there was something wrong with him.
• 42:40
  Speaker 16: It was.
• 42:40
  Speaker 3: It was all very strange. Look, who knows that Jim Carrey.
• 42:42
  Speaker 3: We know he doesn't like the paparazzi, so maybe this
• 42:45
  Speaker 3: was a little ploy. Now, speaking of thoughts and prayers,
• 42:48
  Speaker 3: former Vogue editor and ma'm Darmi's stylist that tells you
• 42:51
  Speaker 3: everything you need to know. This is Gabriella Carifa Johnson.
• 42:55
  Speaker 3: She's revealed that she downgraded herself from first class to
• 42:58
  Speaker 3: business class. Why because everyone else in first class was white, Michael,
• 43:04
  Speaker 3: because they were white.
• 43:05
  Speaker 25: Faults and prayers, Yeah, bolts and prayers and a big
• 43:10
  Speaker 25: shout out to everybody that was up in.
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: First class when she decided to leave, and they were
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: just like whoo. I thought that flank was going to
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: be rough, but she's she's back in business. But she's
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: she was complaining. She said that there was there was
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: substandard service. Substandard service. Now that that's all the bells
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: and whistles are going off right now. This is someone
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: who doesn't why because there there is no more service
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: on airplanes.
• 43:39
  Speaker 25: So he needs to tell her that's just how it
• 43:41
  Speaker 25: is now. They don't care about you.
• 43:44
  Speaker 3: No, no, literally, they couldn't care less where you sit.
• 43:47
  Speaker 3: Just sit down and shut up. Really, I mean that
• 43:50
  Speaker 3: that is the name, like you know. But yeah, the
• 43:53
  Speaker 3: victimhood mentality never ceases to amaze me. Seriously, I think
• 43:58
  Speaker 3: that everyone really cares so much about them. Let's talk
• 44:01
  Speaker 3: about everyone's favorite non royal, the Duchess of Privacy, Megan Markele.
• 44:05
  Speaker 3: Now we're hearing reports that she could be gearing up
• 44:08
  Speaker 3: for a carefully orchestrated return to the UK. But how's this.
• 44:13
  Speaker 3: There's also speculation that maybe the King may offer the
• 44:17
  Speaker 3: Sussex's Andrew's old abode, the Royal Lodge. Do I reckon
• 44:21
  Speaker 3: that lodge is tainted now with Olive Andrews. Mister Venus,
• 44:25
  Speaker 3: what do you reckon, Michael? But surely not, surely not.
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, hopefully this trip of hers is sponsored by some
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: cleaning product. She's gonna have to like wipe down the
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: whole place, search it for hiding cameras. I don't know.
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: Maybe she and Andrew used to be a thing. You
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: hear these rumors, But boy, she is the queen of
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: TACKI can't she just come over for a family visit,
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: have a picnic, do a barbecue. No, she's got to
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: slide into town and try to get a free place
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: to stay. She is the queen of tacky and awkward.
• 44:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah, she loves it. She loves a freebie. I mean,
• 45:02
  Speaker 3: I just cannot imagine the King ever offering those two
• 45:05
  Speaker 3: upper residents. But it would be a very It would
• 45:07
  Speaker 3: be a downgrade if they ended up in the ex
• 45:10
  Speaker 3: residence of the man formerly known as Prince. So we'll
• 45:14
  Speaker 3: see what happens now. Actor Shaiah Labouf. He is blaming
• 45:18
  Speaker 3: quote small man complex small man complex. I don't know
• 45:22
  Speaker 3: if that's a thing for a Mardi Gras brawl where
• 45:25
  Speaker 3: he's accused of using homophobic slurs while hitting multiple people,
• 45:29
  Speaker 3: saying though that he's not into therapy. So small man
• 45:32
  Speaker 3: complex is it a thing? Michael, I don't know.
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: I think a small man complex might be a distant
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: cousin to I have a problem with booze. Yes, yes,
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: I think if you're small man, if your small man
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: complex only shows up when you've been drinking, you might
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: have a problem with the booze. And for Shaia, I
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: wish him nothing but the best, but he's he's got
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: these demons that he's wrestled with before. I don't know
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: if Marty Grass the place for him.
• 46:03
  Speaker 25: If you've had issues with alcohol, you might not want
• 46:07
  Speaker 25: to go to the ground zero of being hammered twenty
• 46:10
  Speaker 25: four to seven.
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: So a small man, big glass complex.
• 46:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think you're right. It's a great excuse when
• 46:17
  Speaker 3: you say I've got small man complex, but it's actually
• 46:20
  Speaker 3: quite you know, it's cowardly. It's a shocker.
• 46:22
  Speaker 21: Yeah.
• 46:22
  Speaker 3: I think maybe he may need some help there now, Michael.
• 46:26
  Speaker 3: I know that you love Kim Kardashian. I know you're
• 46:28
  Speaker 3: a massive you're a massive follower of the Kardashians. It's
• 46:31
  Speaker 3: your favorite show. But she's engaged in a romance with
• 46:36
  Speaker 3: Lewis Hamilton. We saw them at the racing track a
• 46:40
  Speaker 3: couple of weeks ago. But apparently he's also dated her sister.
• 46:42
  Speaker 3: It's all very incestuous. I don't know, but things appear
• 46:45
  Speaker 3: to be getting serious. The two of them were then
• 46:47
  Speaker 3: spotted on vacation together in Arizona. Would you believe Michael
• 46:52
  Speaker 3: Love is in the air.
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: This is the most interesting thing Kim Kardashian I have
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: ever done. If you look at the video, they've pulled
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: over to the side of the road. They've bet their
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: car pulled over by the side of the road. So
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: this isn't some like romantic look at the sunset. This
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: is Kim Kardashian saying, pull the car over. I have
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: to pee. And her boyfriend is a race car driver.
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: He's gotten no excuse for not getting her to the
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: next rest stop.
• 47:25
  Speaker 3: That's a great point, absolutely. I mean, look, I don't know.
• 47:29
  Speaker 3: I kind of like the romance. But will stick that's
• 47:31
  Speaker 3: the question, because we know no man's ever been able
• 47:34
  Speaker 3: to stick when it comes to it. To the Kardashians.
• 47:36
  Speaker 3: I seem to run very quickly. But we'll certainly see now.
• 47:41
  Speaker 3: I was talking about cleaning products earlier with Andrew. Let's
• 47:44
  Speaker 3: talk about Sean Diddy combs Michael, because he's going to
• 47:48
  Speaker 3: be released from prison a month and a half early,
• 47:51
  Speaker 3: amid his battle to appeal his four year sentence, which
• 47:54
  Speaker 3: could be further reduced after the disgraced wrapper was accepted
• 47:58
  Speaker 3: into a drug abuse rehab program last year. Michael, Well,
• 48:02
  Speaker 3: I don't know. I would stop hiding that baby oil already.
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's probably now just wearing off. I mean
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: so much baby oil. It's a miracle that the handcuffs stuck.
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: He'd be like Houdini getting out the whole time. He
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: could probably slide through the bars anytime that he wants.
• 48:21
  Speaker 3: It'll be the best magic showever.
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: Right like Udini. And then I say, I feel like
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: I should sue him for the mental trauma because I
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: looked it up. Seven hundred and eighty four dildos is
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: what all the baby seven hundred and eighty five, I
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: guess if you count the judge. But like I just
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: can't do the math on that, Like, oh, I'm having
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: a dinner party. I've got twelve guests. I'm gonna need
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: eighty bottles of how many Dilda, It's just Ah, just
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: put out a chatutory board or whatever that.
• 48:58
  Speaker 3: He go yeah, and then and at the end of
• 49:00
  Speaker 3: the night he finishes with his Houdini magic trick. I
• 49:03
  Speaker 3: want to dinner party. I would love to see that
• 49:05
  Speaker 3: one exactly. That's the one. You got it, Michael, Michael Loftus,
