0:08
Speaker 3: Good evening and welcome to the Rita Panahe Show. I'm
0:10
Speaker 3: Danikiti Giorgio coming up tonight. Ha Musk praises labor for
0:14
Speaker 3: its political courage and commitment to the values of justice
0:18
Speaker 3: after its decision to recognize a Palestinian state. The UK
0:22
Speaker 3: government says teachers can ask students to call them.
0:25
Speaker 4: MX instead of mister or missus.
0:27
Speaker 3: If they prefer a gender mutual honorific. Rachel Wong will
0:32
Speaker 3: join me on this latest brainwashing. Josh Hammer on the
0:35
Speaker 3: massive plans for the White House ahead of next year's
0:37
Speaker 3: two hundred and fifty year anniversary of the country's founding.
0:41
Speaker 3: Taylor Swift drops a new album to the delight of fans.
0:45
Speaker 4: D D dunleeby will tell us about.
0:47
Speaker 3: It and of course Lefty's are losing it, including a
0:50
Speaker 3: warning for all ICE agents.
0:53
Speaker 5: I'll fight it an ACE agent, I'll take my chances
0:56
Speaker 5: in court around and find.
0:58
Speaker 3: Out First, I want to start with that extraordinary statement
1:03
Speaker 3: by Hamas declaring Labour's decision to recognize a Palestinian state
1:08
Speaker 3: as vindication of its October seven attack. Well done, well done,
1:13
Speaker 3: and congratulations, Anthony Albinezi, you have officially rewarded terrorism. HAAMAS
1:20
Speaker 3: co founder Sheik Hassan Yusuf has told nine newspapers we
1:24
Speaker 3: welcome Australia's decision to recognize the state of Palestine and
1:28
Speaker 3: consider it an important step towards achieving justice for our
1:31
Speaker 3: people and securing their legitimate rights. This position reflects political
1:36
Speaker 3: courage and a commitment to the values of justice and
1:39
Speaker 3: the rights of people to self determination. Well, hello, this
1:44
Speaker 3: shameful decision was always going to reward Hamas, despite of
1:49
Speaker 3: course Albo's assurances that it would not in Hamas.
1:53
Speaker 6: I've seen some of the comments that have been made
1:56
Speaker 6: about Hamas somehow being rewarded. Hamas is a poet to
2:00
Speaker 6: two states. This is the opposite of what her Maas wants.
2:04
Speaker 3: I mean, the Prime Minister seriously thought her Mus would
2:07
Speaker 3: not care at all about Australia's recognition. The statement went
2:11
Speaker 3: on to say, we call on all countries, especially those
2:14
Speaker 3: that believe in freedom and human dignity, to follow Australia's
2:18
Speaker 3: example and translate their positions into practical steps to support
2:22
Speaker 3: the Palestinian people and end their suffering under occupation. But
2:27
Speaker 3: what about the human dignity of the twelve hundred Jews
2:30
Speaker 3: you slaughtered, raped and tortured on October seven. This is
2:35
Speaker 3: yet another day of shame for this country.
2:41
Speaker 4: Johnny now for more on this.
2:43
Speaker 3: Sky News contributors Peru McSween and Tina McQueen. Hi to
2:46
Speaker 3: both of you. Thank you so much for joining me. Well, look,
2:48
Speaker 3: where do we start with this? This was always going
2:51
Speaker 3: to happen. Her Musk was always going to rejoice, won't they.
2:54
Speaker 7: Of course they were.
2:55
Speaker 8: And you know it's so a naive and stupid of
2:58
Speaker 8: Albanizi to think anything else other than that. Of course,
3:01
Speaker 8: Starma and Macarna the same. You know, we have a
3:05
Speaker 8: prime minister who's the Bradbury. You know, he was never
3:08
Speaker 8: supposed to achieve this level of power and legitimacy, and
3:14
Speaker 8: somehow he's become a prime minister. He would prefer to
3:18
Speaker 8: be strutting the world stage and proving what a big.
3:21
Speaker 7: Statesman he is.
3:23
Speaker 8: We want him to be the ambassador of Australia and
3:26
Speaker 8: worry about what's going on here. He wants to big
3:29
Speaker 8: note himself with these lefty, naive fools who are just
3:33
Speaker 8: as gullible as Albanese is. And how dare he He
3:37
Speaker 8: has no mandate from us to go and pledge this
3:41
Speaker 8: kind of support to a mass He's delusional.
3:44
Speaker 7: This is so outrageous.
3:45
Speaker 8: It's a day of shame and that man should hold
3:49
Speaker 8: his head in shame because he has let us down,
3:53
Speaker 8: let the Jews down, and the rest of Australia because
3:56
Speaker 8: we are not sympathetic to terrorism. We will never tolerate it.
4:00
Speaker 8: And what he's done is give them the big tick
4:02
Speaker 8: and salute.
4:03
Speaker 3: Absolutely agree. It is a complete day of shame. Here
4:06
Speaker 3: we go again, Tina, and Harmas says, well, thank you
4:09
Speaker 3: so much for your political courage. Gee, what a victory.
4:12
Speaker 4: Lap for labor.
4:13
Speaker 9: I'm really feeling for the Jewish community this evening. It's horrific, imagine.
4:17
Speaker 9: And it's such a small community, both here and in Israel.
4:21
Speaker 9: There's always someone that knows someone that was affected by
4:23
Speaker 9: that murderous raid that Harmas did.
4:26
Speaker 4: It's disgraceful.
4:27
Speaker 9: As you all say, Albanie should hang his head in shame.
4:31
Speaker 4: And of course this has.
4:31
Speaker 9: Given them the go ahead to do whatever they like.
4:34
Speaker 9: How many more attacks will they be? It's certainly paid off.
4:36
Speaker 9: October seven has paid off for them this time. It's
4:39
Speaker 9: absolutely disgraceful, a dark, dark decision in Australia's history.
4:44
Speaker 3: Absolutely, and as we know HARMUS only wants one state,
4:46
Speaker 3: its own state, it's terror state, and to wipe out
4:49
Speaker 3: Israel and these sorts of actions.
4:51
Speaker 4: We've seen it around the world.
4:52
Speaker 3: As you said, Starma from Macron in France, it's the
4:56
Speaker 3: same thing.
4:56
Speaker 4: It's just prolonging this war and it's just terrible for Israel.
5:00
Speaker 3: But look, let's move on now, because the Reserve Bank
5:03
Speaker 3: has downgraded its productivity and living standards projections, warning that
5:06
Speaker 3: an economic disaster looms if productivity growth continues to flatline.
5:11
Speaker 3: That's despite the RBA lowering the cash rate from three
5:14
Speaker 3: point eight five to three.
5:15
Speaker 4: Point six yesterday.
5:16
Speaker 3: Now the Central Bank is predicting and your productivity gains
5:19
Speaker 3: of just zero point seven percent, down from its previous
5:22
Speaker 3: forecast of one with heavy regulation, high growth in labor costs,
5:26
Speaker 3: weaker competition and stagnant business investment identified as key factors.
5:31
Speaker 3: But look, if you ask the Treasurer, everything's apparently peach.
5:34
Speaker 4: Have a listen.
5:35
Speaker 10: That productivity challenge, as the Reserve Bank pointed out yesterday,
5:38
Speaker 10: is not a challenge, has just emerged in the last
5:40
Speaker 10: couple of years. It's been a feature of our economy
5:42
Speaker 10: for the last couple of decades. It's a global challenge.
5:45
Speaker 10: We've got a bigger agenda to address that and we
5:49
Speaker 10: are consulting. We're working with the broader community on the
5:52
Speaker 10: next steps as well.
5:54
Speaker 4: Proue.
5:55
Speaker 3: We know that productivity is a massive issue in this country.
5:58
Speaker 3: The RBA now warning it's about probably get worse. How
6:01
Speaker 3: much of this can be attributed to Labour's policies, Well, I'd.
6:04
Speaker 8: Say almost one hundred percent. I mean, when you look
6:07
Speaker 8: as a small business owner, I used to.
6:09
Speaker 7: Employ over forty people.
6:11
Speaker 8: You hit with your payroll taxes and every other tax
6:14
Speaker 8: Then you have all these hr issues now where you
6:17
Speaker 8: cannot fire someone who one person was stealing from you.
6:21
Speaker 8: I had to give them tad grad to get rid
6:22
Speaker 8: of them. You know, everything's working against the employer. These
6:26
Speaker 8: i are laws that the union is now introducing, it
6:29
Speaker 8: has continued to do, are just stifling productivity and of
6:35
Speaker 8: course stifling business. So we have this talk fest, this show,
6:40
Speaker 8: this theater. I mean, where's Kate Blanchett, for God's sake?
6:43
Speaker 8: You know Radska, you know right, no, but rud rolled
6:46
Speaker 8: are out for the twenty twenty theater that nothing came off.
6:50
Speaker 8: This is going to be again another talk fest where
6:52
Speaker 8: the unions are throwing away their around their weight, and
6:56
Speaker 8: it's all going to be mean, meaningless. If we want
6:59
Speaker 8: to get productivity up, we have to be serious.
7:02
Speaker 7: You know, work life balance is one thing.
7:04
Speaker 8: We should all do that, but we've got to work
7:06
Speaker 8: harder and we've got to work smarter.
7:08
Speaker 7: And sadly, this isn't a country that does.
7:10
Speaker 4: No clearly not.
7:11
Speaker 3: We are going broke and backwards every single day and
7:15
Speaker 3: Tina Labor has done.
7:16
Speaker 4: Absolutely nothing at all to lift productivity.
7:19
Speaker 3: And now we're being warned about an economic disaster and
7:22
Speaker 3: we're already in the middle of a cost of living crisis.
7:24
Speaker 6: Yeah.
7:24
Speaker 9: Yeah, the treasure makes out everything's rosy.
7:26
Speaker 4: This is the worst.
7:27
Speaker 9: Productivity in the last sixty years, there's no question about that.
7:30
Speaker 9: And now they're ramping on about only working four days
7:32
Speaker 9: a week. None of it makes sense. None of it
7:35
Speaker 9: makes sense. We're going to be in deep trouble. I mean,
7:38
Speaker 9: a lot of countries around the world have had a
7:40
Speaker 9: little sluggage with productivity, but we haven't had the rebound
7:44
Speaker 9: post COVID the other countries have had. So we're in
7:47
Speaker 9: a pretty bad shape at the moment and only getting worse.
7:50
Speaker 3: Yeah, we certainly are completely agree with you, and especially
7:54
Speaker 3: under this government, things are getting worse and I think
7:57
Speaker 3: it's all our an easy two point zero is more
8:00
Speaker 3: dangerous than alb and easy to I said to.
8:03
Speaker 9: Someone the other day, it's a very very dangerous prime minister. Possible,
8:06
Speaker 9: well not possibly. It is the most dangerous primeister we've
8:09
Speaker 9: had with the decisions he's made, particularly ha mass coming
8:12
Speaker 9: out today and all that, top of domestic problems.
8:16
Speaker 8: It's it's really but it's changing our culture too and
8:19
Speaker 8: our values.
8:19
Speaker 7: He hasn't got a mandate to dictate to us.
8:22
Speaker 8: You know, things that he's introducing that are going to
8:25
Speaker 8: change the whole shape of Australia.
8:28
Speaker 7: We didn't vote for that.
8:30
Speaker 8: No, he has no right to be doing it, but
8:32
Speaker 8: he's decided he's going to make changes that are really
8:35
Speaker 8: going to be an affront to most Australian Yeah.
8:38
Speaker 3: Absolutely, and it's you know, the every day assies that
8:41
Speaker 3: are going to suffer as always.
8:42
Speaker 9: And I still think he was influenced by that ridiculous
8:45
Speaker 9: bridge march.
8:45
Speaker 7: We now say it was three hundred thousand people.
8:48
Speaker 9: It's no longer ninety thous three hundred thousand people, and
8:50
Speaker 9: for Prime Minis would be so easily influenced by something
8:53
Speaker 9: like that is scary.
8:55
Speaker 4: Yep, it's very very scary. Just goes to show that
8:57
Speaker 4: he hasn't got a spine.
8:58
Speaker 3: He just goes with the vibes whatever he deems is
9:01
Speaker 3: the vibe of the day. Now we're just talking about
9:03
Speaker 3: that talk fest, this Productivity round table. Of course, it's
9:06
Speaker 3: coming up next week, and it looks like the conference
9:08
Speaker 3: will be more about killing productivity rather than improving it.
9:11
Speaker 3: The ACTU, which will have a front row seat at
9:14
Speaker 3: the table next week, wants shorter working hours, including a
9:18
Speaker 3: four day working week without any loss of pay. Look
9:22
Speaker 3: prove again it goes to your point before. I do
9:25
Speaker 3: not know why anybody would want to get into business
9:27
Speaker 3: right now in this country when you've got the unions
9:29
Speaker 3: with their fingers in every single pie.
9:32
Speaker 8: Look, has Sally McManus, have any of those people working
9:35
Speaker 8: in a union ACTU ever paid somebody? Have they ever
9:39
Speaker 8: put a mortgage on their house so that they have
9:42
Speaker 8: the privilege of employing people and taking the risk of
9:46
Speaker 8: actually trying to build in this country?
9:49
Speaker 4: Now?
9:49
Speaker 7: Of course they haven't because they've all come.
9:51
Speaker 8: Through this cocooned you know, cocoon of knowing that their
9:55
Speaker 8: pay is going to come, or they're grifting paybacks, whatever
9:58
Speaker 8: it is that they may be getting. And it really
10:01
Speaker 8: just is so scary that they are throwing their way
10:04
Speaker 8: to go around and they have so much power over
10:07
Speaker 8: this government because there it's paymasters, and it will be
10:11
Speaker 8: so unrealistic the demands they make. It this productivity talk
10:14
Speaker 8: fest that you just think, you know, why are we
10:18
Speaker 8: even having it. It's a waste of money, a waste
10:20
Speaker 8: of time. They'll backslap, nothing will happen, as it did
10:24
Speaker 8: again with Right when the twenty twenty thing came on,
10:27
Speaker 8: Absolutely nothing happened and it costs millions of dollars.
10:30
Speaker 4: No, I completely agree with you. I think it's a
10:32
Speaker 4: complete joke and it's.
10:33
Speaker 9: Not just a finger on a pie. They've got their
10:35
Speaker 9: foot on our throats.
10:37
Speaker 4: Oh totally yeah.
10:38
Speaker 3: But I mean, if you're a business owner right now,
10:39
Speaker 3: you're dealing with the unions making these demands in Victoria,
10:42
Speaker 3: you've got just into Allen looking to make work from
10:44
Speaker 3: home illegal, right, You've got.
10:45
Speaker 4: Ir laws, energy bills are through the roof. I mean,
10:48
Speaker 4: where where does it end?
10:49
Speaker 9: And that's the thing. Under labor, you're not dealing. You
10:52
Speaker 9: can't deal with anyone. You're told what to do, You're
10:54
Speaker 9: instructed what to do. There's no flexibility anymore. Again, it's
10:58
Speaker 9: very difficult businesses and that's why we're losing so many
11:01
Speaker 9: good businesses in Australia and those that can make good
11:04
Speaker 9: businesses are going overseas to do so.
11:06
Speaker 8: And what I think is really fascinating is that with AI. Now,
11:10
Speaker 8: how stupid a game are they these unions playing, Because
11:14
Speaker 8: if I was running a big business now, I would
11:16
Speaker 8: be looking at trying to implement as much AI change
11:20
Speaker 8: as I could to get them out of there to
11:23
Speaker 8: stop employing people. Now, this is really bad, I know,
11:26
Speaker 8: but that's the reality.
11:28
Speaker 9: Of what is just set to one hundred and fifty
11:30
Speaker 9: people to use ALI. So I don't know if that's
11:32
Speaker 9: a good thing either prove no, no.
11:34
Speaker 7: It isn't. But you know that's a reality.
11:36
Speaker 8: Why would you not do it if you can make
11:38
Speaker 8: it more profitable, have less hassles and a more productive output.
11:42
Speaker 4: Yeah, no, I completely agree with you.
11:44
Speaker 3: I just feel for employers out there because I can't
11:46
Speaker 3: make decisions by themselves because labor is making the decisions
11:49
Speaker 3: for you. Now, look, we just obviously spoke about recognizing
11:52
Speaker 3: a Palestinian state before, and I want to talk to
11:54
Speaker 3: you both a bit more about the foreign policy implications
11:57
Speaker 3: of this. The Secretary of State over in the US,
12:00
Speaker 3: Arco Rubio, has lashed Australia as a Palestine plan.
12:03
Speaker 4: This is what he said.
12:05
Speaker 11: It's largely meaningless, right, it's symbolic, and they're doing it
12:08
Speaker 11: primarily for one reason, and that is their internal politics.
12:11
Speaker 11: They're domestic politics. The truth of the matter is that
12:14
Speaker 11: the future of that region is not going to be
12:18
Speaker 11: decided by some UN resolution. It's not going to be
12:20
Speaker 11: decided by some press release by a prime minister or
12:23
Speaker 11: a president from some country. It's going to be decided
12:25
Speaker 11: on the ground. In fact, that all these statements are
12:27
Speaker 11: meaningless like they're they're not, can't change anything.
12:30
Speaker 3: Prove What do you think this means in terms of
12:32
Speaker 3: our relationship with the US?
12:33
Speaker 4: Now?
12:33
Speaker 3: Do you think we are shifting away from the US increasingly?
12:37
Speaker 7: Oh, no doubt about it.
12:39
Speaker 8: And whether we are or not, the optics are and
12:43
Speaker 8: the fact that we've got Albanezi, what making his fourth
12:46
Speaker 8: visit to China, hasn't spoken to or seen visited Trump.
12:50
Speaker 8: He keeps sending out all these signals about pro China,
12:53
Speaker 8: anti America that why wouldn't they be drawing that conclusion.
12:58
Speaker 8: I mean, he's trying to strut the world stage as
13:00
Speaker 8: a world leader. He has no clue, he has no credibility,
13:04
Speaker 8: and he's sending us down the toilet in terms of
13:07
Speaker 8: our national security because we know who we will be
13:10
Speaker 8: calling on when China is, you know, in attack.
13:13
Speaker 3: Mode, correct, we need the United States on side. What
13:16
Speaker 3: do you think this means Tina about foreign policy with
13:20
Speaker 3: the United States, and we're spreading further away from them.
13:23
Speaker 9: Well, I think President Trump is just a bad had
13:25
Speaker 9: enough you know over Albanese's antics and you know, judging
13:29
Speaker 9: by Rubio's remarks, and he's quite right, this is all
13:31
Speaker 9: for domestic consumption. These decisions and these useless press releases
13:37
Speaker 9: and decisions that Albanese is making, it's absolutely disgraceful and
13:40
Speaker 9: no doubt hinder our already troubled relationship with the US.
13:44
Speaker 4: And it's such a shame.
13:44
Speaker 9: It's such a long history where where so we need
13:48
Speaker 9: each other, we support each other, We've been such great
13:50
Speaker 9: mates and this is really dissolving before our very eyes.
13:53
Speaker 9: And I think this will be the nail and the
13:56
Speaker 9: coffin Albanesi jumping in with Macron and to make this decision.
14:01
Speaker 4: I completely agree with you.
14:02
Speaker 3: And I also just think we're we're not going to
14:05
Speaker 3: be lifting our defense spending anytime soon either.
14:07
Speaker 4: And that's another.
14:08
Speaker 3: Orcus is up in the air because of it. So
14:10
Speaker 3: we'll see what happens now. Look, just finally, let's seem
14:12
Speaker 3: not a happy note. Former Prime Minister Tony Abbott has
14:15
Speaker 3: been spotted directing traffic at the car park beneath Sydney's
14:18
Speaker 3: Theater Royal, helping ease a traffic jam after multiple cars try.
14:22
Speaker 4: To leave at the same time. Have a look there.
14:31
Speaker 3: He was fleeting in the background there directing traffic.
14:34
Speaker 4: He's a legend. What a legend.
14:36
Speaker 8: But every time you see this guy or hear this guy,
14:39
Speaker 8: you think, what a tragedy. He's not still our primary
14:42
Speaker 8: I agree his Prime ministership was.
14:44
Speaker 9: And he always has been, always will be a true hero.
14:48
Speaker 9: I mean you look at the lives have saved in
14:49
Speaker 9: the ocean, the fires. The guy is Superman personified in
14:53
Speaker 9: this country and like Pru said, it's such shameful he
14:56
Speaker 9: was cut short before his prime.
14:58
Speaker 4: I know, gee, we could really with a Tony Abbott right.
15:01
Speaker 3: Now, we really in this time of war and uncertainty
15:04
Speaker 3: of Tony.
15:05
Speaker 4: Come on, come on back, Oh come back.
15:08
Speaker 3: We need you, We really do. Premix Sween, Tina McQueen.
15:10
Speaker 3: Good to see you both. Thanks so much for joining
15:12
Speaker 3: me on the show. Want to hear how far woke
15:14
Speaker 3: ideology has gone in the classrooms. While teachers in the
15:18
Speaker 3: UK now have the right to ask students to call
15:21
Speaker 3: them MX or MIX instead of mister, missus or miss
15:25
Speaker 3: Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson has said teachers can request that
15:29
Speaker 3: children call them by the gender neutral honorific instead of
15:33
Speaker 3: traditional titles.
15:34
Speaker 4: Where are we heading to?
15:35
Speaker 3: Joining me now is Women's Forum Australia CEO Rachel Wong.
15:39
Speaker 3: Oh look, Rachel, I mean this to me is pure indoctrination.
15:43
Speaker 3: What on earth are kid's being taught these days? No
15:46
Speaker 3: wonder they're so confused.
15:49
Speaker 2: One hundred percentanaka And look I'm quite surprised by this
15:52
Speaker 2: because I thought that the UK was meant to be
15:54
Speaker 2: leading us in common sense on this issue. But there
15:57
Speaker 2: is absolutely no place of gender ideology in the classroom.
16:00
Speaker 2: Children should be taught the facts about biological sex, not
16:03
Speaker 2: that men can be women, or women can be men,
16:05
Speaker 2: or they can be neither. And we've seen a very
16:08
Speaker 2: very similar shitep pale out here in Australia with Saint
16:11
Speaker 2: Hilda's Private School in Perth where girls, young girls were
16:14
Speaker 2: forced to call male teachers miss and MX, making them
16:18
Speaker 2: feel terrified of mis gendering and been accused of bigotry
16:23
Speaker 2: and basically transgressing their boundaries in this way. And I
16:26
Speaker 2: think it's completely inappropriate and like I said, very surprised
16:30
Speaker 2: that the UK government is suggesting this.
16:33
Speaker 3: Oh, I completely agree. I just think it's absolutely appalling.
16:35
Speaker 3: And again we're just trading this next generation to the
16:39
Speaker 3: teaching them how to be confused. They just teaching them
16:41
Speaker 3: all sorts of brainwashing nonsense. It's just ridiculous. Now I
16:44
Speaker 3: want to keep on the UK because British schools, hospitals,
16:47
Speaker 3: leisure centers and cinemas will be told to ban trans
16:51
Speaker 3: women aka biological men from using single sex areas, including
16:55
Speaker 3: bathrooms and changing rooms. The Equality and Human Rights Commission
16:59
Speaker 3: has rejected demands from campaigners to water down the rules
17:02
Speaker 3: and instead the statutory guidance will also say that men
17:06
Speaker 3: can be excluded from single sex sporting contests.
17:09
Speaker 4: Now, Rachel, I was quite shocked, to be honest, that.
17:11
Speaker 3: The Equality Commission he's going down this path, because it's
17:14
Speaker 3: not the usual wope path these equality commissions go on.
17:17
Speaker 3: But I also think that this highlights just how far
17:21
Speaker 3: behind we are in Australia.
17:24
Speaker 12: Absolutely.
17:25
Speaker 2: Look, the Human Rights Commission in the UK has been
17:29
Speaker 2: a lot better than Australia. There is just no comparison.
17:31
Speaker 5: Really.
17:32
Speaker 2: Meanwhile, over here, our shelling Human Rights Commission and our
17:34
Speaker 2: Sex Discrimination Commissioner in particular doesn't even know what a
17:38
Speaker 2: woman is. It's basically intervening against women and against FEMA
17:42
Speaker 2: only spaces in courts and is saying that men can
17:46
Speaker 2: become women, sex is changeable, all that kind of thing. So,
17:49
Speaker 2: like you said, we have a long, long way to go,
17:50
Speaker 2: but I'm so happy to see this from the Human
17:52
Speaker 2: Rights Commission in the UK. Yeah, I agree, And as
17:55
Speaker 2: you mentioned just before, obviously there was that Supreme Court
17:58
Speaker 2: ruling earlier this year. The UK is slowly making strides,
18:02
Speaker 2: not one hundred percent there, but they're way far ahead
18:05
Speaker 2: than we are here in Australia.
18:06
Speaker 3: We're so far behind the rest of the world. Now, Look,
18:09
Speaker 3: I've got to ask you about this, Rachel. It seems
18:11
Speaker 3: singer boy George is chucking a hissy fit. He's very
18:15
Speaker 3: upset by some of your tweets on x about Giggle
18:18
Speaker 3: versus Tickle in support, of course, of the wonderful Giggle
18:22
Speaker 3: for girls at founder Sal Grover. Now you posted this
18:26
Speaker 3: tweet last week during the appeal, saying this is the
18:29
Speaker 3: selfie rock sand Tickle submitted to enter the Giggle app
18:33
Speaker 3: According to Tickles Lawyers, the hairstyle and low cut top
18:36
Speaker 3: should have been a dead giveaway to sal Grover that
18:39
Speaker 3: this was a woman.
18:41
Speaker 4: But boy George wasn't happy.
18:43
Speaker 3: He said, Rachel was born pretty and hasn't it made
18:45
Speaker 3: her full of herself? Nasty bully and that's just how
18:49
Speaker 3: your good points God help you when gravity takes its revenge.
18:52
Speaker 4: Gee, Rachel, I'll tell you what.
18:54
Speaker 3: The left are just so nice and tolerant, aren't they.
19:00
Speaker 2: I had a good girl on himself when I read
19:02
Speaker 2: that tweet, I was like, oh, thank thanks for the compliment.
19:04
Speaker 4: Firstly, but look, boy George has.
19:07
Speaker 2: Been lashing out at just anyone and everyone at the moment,
19:09
Speaker 2: I think, in a bid to stay relevant, trying to
19:11
Speaker 2: use his elite status to intimidate and billy women in
19:14
Speaker 2: particular into silence on this issue. And you know, I
19:17
Speaker 2: think it's quite interesting because he's someone who's sort of
19:20
Speaker 2: you know, his brand as gender non conforming and as
19:22
Speaker 2: someone who I guess appears as maybe more feminine or
19:25
Speaker 2: femine or whatever. And he's totally entoled to do that.
19:28
Speaker 2: And you know, rock santical in the same way as
19:30
Speaker 2: totally entitled to wear the necktops and grower's hair out.
19:33
Speaker 2: But what he's not entitled to do is to force
19:36
Speaker 2: the rest of us to accept that he's a woman.
19:38
Speaker 2: And boy Joys trying to say that that should be
19:40
Speaker 2: the case, I think is ridiculous. And he continued to insult.
19:43
Speaker 13: He can continue to.
19:43
Speaker 2: Assault insult women online, but we're not going to back
19:46
Speaker 2: down from this.
19:46
Speaker 3: No, good on you. He can continue his he's he fit.
19:49
Speaker 3: That is absolutely fine and good on you. Take it
19:52
Speaker 3: as a compliment that he was giving you about your looks.
19:55
Speaker 4: There, I would absolutely take that. He's certainly correct. Now.
19:58
Speaker 3: Look, speaking of sour Grover, she has conceded that she
20:01
Speaker 3: may leave Australia to set up her business in the
20:03
Speaker 3: US if the Federal court rules that her female only
20:06
Speaker 3: app is a lawful in the high likelihood that even
20:10
Speaker 3: if she wins that appeal, the case will be appealed
20:13
Speaker 3: to the High Court, with backing from the Sex Discrimination
20:15
Speaker 3: Commissioner and lobby group Equality Australia Rachel. The fact that
20:19
Speaker 3: this is even being discussed when the possibility of not
20:22
Speaker 3: being able to have a female only app in Australia,
20:25
Speaker 3: what does that say?
20:27
Speaker 2: Well, I just think what a shame to lose a
20:29
Speaker 2: talent like Sar Grover to the US if that's what
20:31
Speaker 2: ends ups happening. You know, like our governments they constantly
20:34
Speaker 2: sprooke supporting women and you know, throw on all these
20:38
Speaker 2: kinds of platitudes, and the reality is we don't have
20:40
Speaker 2: enough female entrepreneurs as it is, and to lose someone
20:42
Speaker 2: like Sar Grover I think would be terrible. I think
20:45
Speaker 2: would be a terrible loss for Australia obviously again for
20:48
Speaker 2: the US. But you know it's our laws, our government's
20:51
Speaker 2: laws and the fact that they are not clarifying them
20:53
Speaker 2: and not ensuring that women's sex based rights are protected,
20:56
Speaker 2: which have meant that her business has been brought to
20:57
Speaker 2: a halt and that she's even having to consider this,
21:00
Speaker 2: And I think other women who might be thinking of
21:02
Speaker 2: also setting up female only businesses are also going to
21:04
Speaker 2: you know that they're going to have a chilling It's
21:06
Speaker 2: going to have a chilling effect on them because they're
21:07
Speaker 2: not going to want to have to face.
21:09
Speaker 4: What sal has faced exactly.
21:10
Speaker 3: And we actually need more women in the technology field
21:13
Speaker 3: as it is, and this just further discourages them from
21:16
Speaker 3: even having an idea to go out and do something
21:19
Speaker 3: like this.
21:19
Speaker 4: It's such a shame.
21:20
Speaker 3: So we will be standing by to hear the outcome
21:22
Speaker 3: of that appeal, hopefully the next couple of months.
21:25
Speaker 4: Now.
21:25
Speaker 3: The BBC has dedicated a portion of its Breakfast show
21:28
Speaker 3: to interviewing former First Minister of Scotland Nicola Sturgeon about
21:33
Speaker 3: trans issues, after Sturgeon claimed in her new.
21:36
Speaker 4: Book that author JK.
21:37
Speaker 3: Rowling helped create a toxic climate around Scotland's gender reform debate.
21:42
Speaker 4: Have a listen.
21:44
Speaker 8: Trans people are probably one of the most stigmatized groups
21:47
Speaker 8: in our society.
21:49
Speaker 3: I mean, can you believe that comment, Rachel, one of
21:52
Speaker 3: the most stigmatized in society. I mean, this is exactly
21:55
Speaker 3: what's wrong with the left narrative. It's never about the
21:58
Speaker 3: rights of biological women.
22:01
Speaker 4: That's right.
22:02
Speaker 2: I mean, look, we have Pride week after Pride, months
22:05
Speaker 2: after you know, whatever day here they're and everywhere for
22:09
Speaker 2: trans people and LGBTQI plus plus et cetera people, they
22:13
Speaker 2: are not the most admontised group in society by a
22:15
Speaker 2: long shot. And if anything, women and girls are the
22:18
Speaker 2: ones that have been oppressed and discriminated against because they
22:21
Speaker 2: have been allowed into their sports, into their spaces, into
22:23
Speaker 2: their prisons for goodness sake. So I think it's just
22:26
Speaker 2: a ridiculous statement.
22:27
Speaker 4: Yep, totally is. And in the end, I think JK.
22:30
Speaker 3: Rowling is a wonderful representative for all women around the world,
22:34
Speaker 3: and we should actually be praising her, not continuously demonizing her.
22:38
Speaker 3: Rachel Wong, it's great to catch up as always, thanks
22:40
Speaker 3: so much for joining me.
22:42
Speaker 4: Still to come, Lefties losing it?
22:45
Speaker 3: Plus, the White House is set to host a UFC
22:48
Speaker 3: event next year as part of July fourth celebrations to
22:51
Speaker 3: mark two hundred and fifty years. If the country's founding
22:54
Speaker 3: Josh Hava would join me next Now it's time for
23:07
Speaker 3: lefties losing it, starting with why you should never pick
23:10
Speaker 3: the DEI hires. Here is Washington, DC Metropolitan Police Department
23:15
Speaker 3: chief Pamela Smith, a diversity pick herself who seems to
23:20
Speaker 3: struggle with even the most basic of reporter questions.
23:25
Speaker 11: Does what the shain of command is?
23:27
Speaker 5: Now?
23:28
Speaker 11: What does that mean?
23:29
Speaker 10: Well?
23:29
Speaker 14: Is it?
23:29
Speaker 5: Pam Bonney's speaks in America?
23:31
Speaker 15: Does sort so?
23:33
Speaker 4: At the executive order is clear?
23:35
Speaker 16: The president has requested MPD services in our home rule charter.
23:41
Speaker 3: No, she doesn't know it, scurries off, passes it on
23:44
Speaker 3: to the next person.
23:45
Speaker 4: And look, let's just get this straight.
23:47
Speaker 3: The police chief doesn't even know what a chain of
23:50
Speaker 3: command is. She doesn't She doesn't know if she is
23:53
Speaker 3: the one in charge. Would you believe? And this, folks,
23:56
Speaker 3: is what happens when you make the deip the DEI pick.
24:02
Speaker 3: Because Pamela Smith, by the way, used to be the
24:04
Speaker 3: department's chief equity officer and now promoted to chief, say
24:10
Speaker 3: no more and now to MSNBC hosts Simone Sanders Townsend,
24:14
Speaker 3: who claims her vast life experience as a black woman,
24:18
Speaker 3: provides a unique perspective on why adding more police will
24:22
Speaker 3: not make Washington, DC safe.
24:25
Speaker 15: You don't think more police makes streets safer, No, Joe.
24:29
Speaker 12: I'm a black woman in America.
24:30
Speaker 2: I do not always think that more police make streets safer.
24:34
Speaker 4: Now, well, that solves it, then, doesn't it? That solves
24:37
Speaker 4: all the problems because you're a black woman in America.
24:40
Speaker 3: And then the MSNBC continued to roll out the laughs.
24:44
Speaker 3: This guy is more worried about climate change than getting.
24:48
Speaker 12: Mugged when I go to DC.
24:51
Speaker 1: I'm not afraid of losing my wallet so much as
24:53
Speaker 1: I'm afraid of losing my vote. I'm not afraid of
24:56
Speaker 1: losing my wallet so much as I'm afraid that my
24:58
Speaker 1: children's freedom to breathe will be stolen in a world
25:02
Speaker 1: where climate change policy is non existent.
25:05
Speaker 3: Oh, I mean, it just shows you how out of
25:08
Speaker 3: touch these elite lefties are with Middle America. They are
25:12
Speaker 3: completely divorced from actual reality. And now to the latest
25:17
Speaker 3: in lefting meltdowns over ice arrests, this deluded CNN guest
25:22
Speaker 3: went into full brain fart mode, claiming the raids is
25:25
Speaker 3: so unfair because not enough Europeans are being deported from
25:30
Speaker 3: French bakeries.
25:31
Speaker 16: At the same time, they're not at all, you know,
25:35
Speaker 16: the French bakeries and the people who.
25:40
Speaker 17: Issues no please, no, no, not the French bakeries, not
25:48
Speaker 17: the Baggetts and the croissants, please no, And now here
25:52
Speaker 17: is a p s A for all the Ice agents
25:54
Speaker 17: out there.
25:55
Speaker 4: Look out.
25:57
Speaker 5: When Donald Trump's reign of terrors over, we will be
26:01
Speaker 5: rounding you all up and putting you in jail. We're
26:03
Speaker 5: going to raid and destroy your homes. We're going to
26:06
Speaker 5: handcuff you and take you away in front of your families.
26:09
Speaker 5: I'll fight it in ic ages. I'll take my chances
26:12
Speaker 5: in court around to find out.
26:17
Speaker 12: Have a naice day.
26:20
Speaker 3: He seems like a real great guy. Great great guy,
26:23
Speaker 3: doesn't he. Good luck with that one. And now to
26:25
Speaker 3: the psycho child Greta Thunberg, who appears to be resurrecting
26:29
Speaker 3: her doomed Gaza mission.
26:33
Speaker 4: We are sailing again to break the siege. In this
26:36
Speaker 4: time we're sailing with dozens.
26:38
Speaker 2: Of boots and with coordinating mobilizations through forty four countries.
26:43
Speaker 3: Yes, the pathetic little goblin and her vegan looking hippie
26:46
Speaker 3: friends are heading back out to the war zone on
26:49
Speaker 3: that freedom flotilla to save the world, apparently because it
26:53
Speaker 3: went so well for them last time, didn't it.
26:57
Speaker 4: Well.
26:57
Speaker 3: Despite the lefty meltdowns over Trump's sending the National.
27:00
Speaker 4: Guard to Washington, d C. His plan has worked already.
27:06
Speaker 18: Last night, approximately eight hundred and fifty officers and agents
27:10
Speaker 18: were surged across the city. They made a total of
27:13
Speaker 18: twenty three arrests, including multiple other contacts last night. These
27:18
Speaker 18: arrests consisted of homicide, firearms offences, possession with intent to
27:23
Speaker 18: distribute narcotics, fair evasion, lude acts, stocking, possession of a
27:28
Speaker 18: high capacity magazine, fleeing to elude in a vehicle, no permits,
27:33
Speaker 18: driving under the influence, reckless driving, and a bench warrant.
27:38
Speaker 3: Joining me now is Newswake, senior editor at Lodge, Josh Hammer.
27:42
Speaker 4: Josh, good to see you. The left said it.
27:44
Speaker 3: Wouldn't work, they've cried, they've carried on, and look at
27:47
Speaker 3: the success in just twenty four hours.
27:51
Speaker 19: You know, not twenty minutes before I started chatting with
27:55
Speaker 19: you here on this show. Actually, I got a text
27:57
Speaker 19: from a buddy of mine who lives in the DuPont
27:59
Speaker 19: Circle area of Washington, d C.
28:01
Speaker 12: So, for those who are not familiar, this.
28:02
Speaker 19: Is this is really one of the hardest hit areas
28:05
Speaker 19: of the crime epidemic in DC over the past five years.
28:08
Speaker 19: I used to actually years ago, work for a company
28:10
Speaker 19: based right there in DuPont Circle. So I know it
28:12
Speaker 19: extremely well. What my buddy said was that when he
28:15
Speaker 19: was walking around a street nearby on Saturday to walk
28:18
Speaker 19: his dog, he saw a homeless person defecating in the
28:22
Speaker 19: lane on the road, and that as of this morning
28:25
Speaker 19: he couldn't see a single homeless person around him, and
28:27
Speaker 19: that there were National guardsmen everywhere.
28:29
Speaker 12: So order has been restored.
28:31
Speaker 19: Order has been restored to the nation's capital in the
28:33
Speaker 19: United States of America.
28:34
Speaker 12: There. It's amazing, frankly, that it got to this point.
28:37
Speaker 19: I mean, this goes back all the way to nineteen
28:39
Speaker 19: seventy three, this failed experiment, and yes it is a
28:41
Speaker 19: failed experiment in Congress allowing DC to try to govern itself,
28:46
Speaker 19: which by the way, is actually not what our founding
28:48
Speaker 19: fathers here in the United States actually envision. The Federal
28:50
Speaker 19: District wasn't supposed to be independent at all. Actually, it
28:53
Speaker 19: was supposed to be a tiny sliver where the lawmakers
28:56
Speaker 19: go to pass laws, get the heck out there, and
28:58
Speaker 19: Congress was supposed to run in directly. This policy is
29:00
Speaker 19: a rare win win win. It is good politics, it
29:03
Speaker 19: is good policy, and this sound constitutional law as well.
29:07
Speaker 19: I'm a tremendous fan of this move and it's already
29:09
Speaker 19: yielding results. And someone I live in Florida, but I'm
29:12
Speaker 19: in Washington, DUC pretty frequently for this reason, that reason,
29:15
Speaker 19: and so forth.
29:15
Speaker 2: There.
29:15
Speaker 19: I'm pretty excited Franklin to go about the next time
29:18
Speaker 19: and see it all for myself.
29:19
Speaker 4: Oh well, that's that's really great to hear.
29:21
Speaker 3: And I've got to say, Josh, the left wing media,
29:23
Speaker 3: though they are still so in denial, have a listened
29:26
Speaker 3: to US Attorney Janine Piro go to town on a reporter.
29:30
Speaker 4: Who claimed that there was no crime in DC. Oh
29:34
Speaker 4: stop it.
29:35
Speaker 14: We are putting all kinds of resources onto the street.
29:43
Speaker 15: Thanks failing the dropping crime rates.
29:48
Speaker 12: At the end of it, it's never enough.
29:53
Speaker 14: This change, this changed, It's never enough. You tell these
29:58
Speaker 14: families crime is dropped. You tell the mother of the
30:03
Speaker 14: intern who was shot going out for McDonald's. You're the
30:07
Speaker 14: Washington Convention Center.
30:08
Speaker 7: Oh, crime is down.
30:10
Speaker 14: You tell the kid who has just beat the helm
30:12
Speaker 14: back with a severe concussion and a broken nose, crime
30:16
Speaker 14: is down. No, that ball's on deaf ears and my
30:19
Speaker 14: ears are deaf to that. And that's why I fight
30:22
Speaker 14: the fight.
30:23
Speaker 11: Josh.
30:23
Speaker 3: That is one of the best shutdowns I have ever seen.
30:28
Speaker 19: Yeah, Jeane Piro's awesome. You know, she was actually the
30:31
Speaker 19: lead county prosecutor in Westchester County, New.
30:33
Speaker 12: York, back when I was growing up in Westchester.
30:35
Speaker 19: So I've actually been familiar with her name, really, frankly,
30:38
Speaker 19: most of my life. I mean ever since I was
30:39
Speaker 19: a child, frankly. So you know, it's really great to
30:41
Speaker 19: see Judge nine actually get back out there because you know,
30:44
Speaker 19: she was doing the whole Fox News media circuit for
30:46
Speaker 19: a very long time. It's really amazing to see here
30:48
Speaker 19: get out there and try to enforce the law again,
30:50
Speaker 19: which is really the.
30:51
Speaker 12: Best thing that she is good at.
30:53
Speaker 19: You know, this notion that the crime in Washington SEE
30:56
Speaker 19: is down, it's an absurd talking point. And what the
30:59
Speaker 19: left wing media are doing the United States is they
31:02
Speaker 19: are saying that compared to thirty years ago, crime in Washington,
31:05
Speaker 19: d C. Is down, goes the claim. But why cherry
31:09
Speaker 19: picked the data While I go to thirty years ago,
31:11
Speaker 19: who actually go back to sixty sixty five years ago?
31:13
Speaker 19: Go back to nineteen sixty I think is the starting
31:16
Speaker 19: point there. Crime is at least twice, if not more
31:18
Speaker 19: than twice that high in the nation's capital.
31:21
Speaker 12: In Washington, d C.
31:22
Speaker 19: Look add incdotally Again, I can tell you someone who
31:25
Speaker 19: has lived there for multiple years. I spent a lot
31:27
Speaker 19: of time in Washington, d C.
31:28
Speaker 12: Over the years. I know the city inside and out.
31:31
Speaker 19: You know, back in the day, you could walk around
31:32
Speaker 19: very nice areas Georgetown, Foggy Bottom, Adams, Morgan, DuPont Circle,
31:37
Speaker 19: and you wouldn't have to fear for you know, for
31:40
Speaker 19: a raper or a carjacking, a gang.
31:42
Speaker 12: Bang in there. But the fact that Washington, d C.
31:44
Speaker 19: Has gotten this point, I think can be illustrated by
31:46
Speaker 19: one recent example, and that's really all I need to
31:48
Speaker 19: prove my point. But as you had two Israeli embassy
31:51
Speaker 19: staffers who were gunned down in broad daylight, not three
31:55
Speaker 19: to four blocks from the National Mall there in Washington
31:58
Speaker 19: C in late May. People forgot that happen. That was
32:00
Speaker 19: in broad daylight in Washington. See, that's not the kind
32:03
Speaker 19: of thing that would have happened back when I was
32:04
Speaker 19: living just a few blocks within myself ten fifteen years ago.
32:08
Speaker 3: Yeah, look, I mean it's too scary what's going on.
32:10
Speaker 3: I'm also got to show you this, Josh, because host
32:12
Speaker 3: of Morning Joe Joe Scarborough, after of course having met
32:16
Speaker 3: with Trump months ago. It seems he really has come
32:18
Speaker 3: around to the fact that the president is not the enemy.
32:21
Speaker 4: Have a look at this.
32:23
Speaker 15: You know, the people that are cheering this on privately
32:26
Speaker 15: are not like right wing Republicans, are not maga people.
32:29
Speaker 15: A lot of our friends are in the media, and
32:32
Speaker 15: also Democrats that worked on Joe Biden's campaign, that worked
32:35
Speaker 15: on other campaigns that are saying, yeah, I'd like to
32:39
Speaker 15: feel safe walking around this city. If the federal government
32:45
Speaker 15: can be a positive partner in keeping the streets safe
32:50
Speaker 15: while again forming a partnership with the DC police and
32:55
Speaker 15: not taking over, then I at least the people I've
33:00
Speaker 15: spoken with that live in DC day in, day out
33:03
Speaker 15: see this as a positive stem.
33:06
Speaker 3: Wow, Josh, she's actually gone against the lefting narrative. I mean,
33:09
Speaker 3: this would confuse the heck out of the liberals on
33:12
Speaker 3: that channel.
33:14
Speaker 12: Yeah, it's really incredible.
33:14
Speaker 19: I mean, I mean, this is the program Morning Joe
33:17
Speaker 19: with Joe and Mika that MSNBC actually pulled off the
33:21
Speaker 19: air the morning after the twenty twenty four presidential election
33:24
Speaker 19: because they were so afraid of the meltdowns that would
33:26
Speaker 19: be on air. And here is even Joe Scarborough saying
33:29
Speaker 19: the quiet part out loud.
33:30
Speaker 12: You know, this gets back.
33:31
Speaker 19: Frankly to what I was saying a few minutes ago
33:33
Speaker 19: about how this is not just good policy and good
33:36
Speaker 19: constitutional law, it's amazing politics.
33:38
Speaker 12: Because everyone hates crime.
33:40
Speaker 19: There is no pro crime constituency other than the Black
33:43
Speaker 19: Lives Matter far left freaks, I mean, and these people
33:45
Speaker 19: are just a tiny, tiny, timy sliver of the American electorate.
33:49
Speaker 16: Now.
33:49
Speaker 19: I did see another guest on MSNBC earlier today. You know,
33:53
Speaker 19: I pay for my sins by watching MSNBC sometimes, and
33:56
Speaker 19: I did see this woman on MSNBC saying that because
33:58
Speaker 19: she is a black woman, that she is afraid of
34:00
Speaker 19: more police.
34:01
Speaker 12: There. That is a tiny, tiny, tiny minority viewpoint.
34:04
Speaker 9: You know.
34:04
Speaker 19: Here in American politics, we talked about the swing voters,
34:07
Speaker 19: the suburban voters, the suburban mothers people at that there.
34:10
Speaker 19: If there's one issue I think above all the motivates them,
34:13
Speaker 19: it is crime and public safety.
34:15
Speaker 12: Immigration.
34:16
Speaker 19: Illegal immigration ties into the crime public safety issue a
34:18
Speaker 19: little bit there.
34:19
Speaker 12: But this is amazing politics there. And Donald Trump has.
34:21
Speaker 19: A unique generational opportunity. I think, if the Feds are
34:24
Speaker 19: really going to do this, and so far the very
34:27
Speaker 19: preliminary results are looking pretty good. If they're really going
34:30
Speaker 19: to do this, he has a generational opportunity, I think,
34:32
Speaker 19: to disprove the various fallacies of left wing criminal justice movements,
34:36
Speaker 19: anti police movements, anti incarceration movements, going back twenty five
34:40
Speaker 19: thirty years. He can finally, finally, once and for all,
34:43
Speaker 19: I think, put the defund the police crowd, the defund
34:46
Speaker 19: the prisons crowd. I think, completely completely out of our
34:49
Speaker 19: political round there.
34:50
Speaker 12: I'm rooting for him. I hope he succeeds.
34:52
Speaker 3: Yeah, look, absolutely, we've been watching this one closely. Now
34:56
Speaker 3: this next one is going to be huge. The White
34:58
Speaker 3: House is set to host a UFC event next year
35:01
Speaker 3: as part of July fourth celebrations to mark the two
35:04
Speaker 3: hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the country's founding.
35:07
Speaker 4: Here is the UFC Bostona.
35:08
Speaker 20: White It is definitely going to happen.
35:12
Speaker 12: Oh.
35:12
Speaker 20: I talked to him last night, him being the president,
35:15
Speaker 20: and I'm flying out there at the end of this
35:17
Speaker 20: month and I'm going to sit down and walk him through,
35:22
Speaker 20: you know, all the plans and the renderings, and we're
35:24
Speaker 20: going to start deciding what he wants and doesn't want.
35:26
Speaker 20: But yeah, it's definitely going to happen.
35:30
Speaker 4: Josh, this is going to be huge.
35:33
Speaker 7: Yeah.
35:33
Speaker 19: You know, Dana White is about as mad as it gets, right, So,
35:36
Speaker 19: I mean, you know, the personnel definitely fits. You know,
35:39
Speaker 19: Donald Trump has a very long history of being involved
35:42
Speaker 19: in mixed martial arts, boxing, wrestling. I mean, this goes
35:45
Speaker 19: back to Donald Trump's days as kind of a figure
35:47
Speaker 19: of the New York tabloids in the nineteen eighties nineteen
35:49
Speaker 19: nineties there.
35:49
Speaker 12: So it's very fitting that he would do this.
35:51
Speaker 19: Frankly, now I think about it out loud, it's kind
35:53
Speaker 19: of funny that he never actually did this during his
35:55
Speaker 19: first term, so you know, better late than ever. I
35:57
Speaker 19: guess to an extent, that's going to be a hot
35:59
Speaker 19: to take it. I mean, I assume that they're going
36:01
Speaker 19: to do it in the White House lawn. You can't
36:03
Speaker 19: literally do it in the White House because you can't
36:04
Speaker 19: have any spectator, So I assume they'll do some sort
36:07
Speaker 19: of stands there, and that's going to be a really,
36:09
Speaker 19: really really hot ticket. That's going to be a really
36:11
Speaker 19: really attractive event there. This July fourth coming up next
36:14
Speaker 19: year next year, which is going to be the two
36:16
Speaker 19: hundred and fiftieth anniversary or the founding of our country.
36:19
Speaker 19: It's going to be a celebration like none other. And
36:21
Speaker 19: you know, I kind of shudder at the thought. I
36:23
Speaker 19: kind of shudder at thought. What if Kamala Harris had won?
36:25
Speaker 19: What if Kamala Harris had won? And on the two
36:27
Speaker 19: hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the founding of the United America,
36:31
Speaker 19: we'll be talking about how our country was founded with
36:33
Speaker 19: white guilt, with the original sin of slavery, it was
36:36
Speaker 19: conceived in bigotry and hatred and homophobia, trans phobia, blah
36:40
Speaker 19: blah blahlah blah. And then on the other hand, we're
36:42
Speaker 19: just going to have an absolute banger of a firework
36:44
Speaker 19: show where we're getting ready to host the Olympic Games
36:47
Speaker 19: in Los Angeles for the years, and then on July fourth,
36:49
Speaker 19: we're going to have a UFC fight to type to
36:51
Speaker 19: top it off. I mean, that's the America that I want,
36:53
Speaker 19: That's the Donald Trump, That's the America frankly that I
36:55
Speaker 19: voted for.
36:56
Speaker 12: I think that's what most Americans want as well.
36:57
Speaker 11: Oh.
36:58
Speaker 4: Look, absolutely America is back on a time.
37:00
Speaker 3: What that celebration next year is going to be one
37:02
Speaker 3: for the ages.
37:03
Speaker 4: You can tell already.
37:04
Speaker 3: Now, Look US stocks have hit a record high as
37:07
Speaker 3: inflation holds steady over in the States at two point
37:10
Speaker 3: seven percent in July despite Trump's tariffs.
37:13
Speaker 4: Here's a breakdown when you look.
37:15
Speaker 16: At the key categories that we always look at, energy, food,
37:18
Speaker 16: and shelter. Energy fell by one point one percent. That
37:23
Speaker 16: was largely driven because of gas prices falling in the
37:26
Speaker 16: month of July by two point two percent.
37:29
Speaker 4: Look at that food.
37:30
Speaker 16: I mean, this is where people spend their money, right,
37:33
Speaker 16: food every single day. Food flat zero percent and actually
37:37
Speaker 16: down at the grocery store.
37:40
Speaker 3: Josh, what do these latest figures suggest?
37:44
Speaker 12: Yeah?
37:45
Speaker 19: See, and then I you know, I presume that they
37:47
Speaker 19: would have liked to have seen a massive spike there
37:49
Speaker 19: to their problement.
37:50
Speaker 12: And Donald Trump and his tariff policy.
37:52
Speaker 19: You know, I think a lot of people ow Donald
37:54
Speaker 19: Trump a pretty substantial apology when it comes to his
37:56
Speaker 19: rollout of his tariffs. There, the reciprocal tariffs, his whole
38:00
Speaker 19: approach to political economy and trade in general. People said
38:02
Speaker 19: that this is going to get us back well, I mean,
38:05
Speaker 19: perhaps to nineteen seventy nine era Jimmy Carter inflation. But
38:08
Speaker 19: a lot of people have said that it might be
38:10
Speaker 19: even worse than Joe Biden.
38:11
Speaker 12: Just a few years ago.
38:12
Speaker 19: I mean it was the summer of twenty twenty two,
38:14
Speaker 19: just three years ago here in the US, the inflation
38:16
Speaker 19: reached nine point one percent. People were saying that Donald
38:19
Speaker 19: Trump is going to get dangerously close to that, and
38:21
Speaker 19: what do you know, nothing happened. A total, absolute nothing burger.
38:25
Speaker 19: And by the way, it's not just inflation that is
38:27
Speaker 19: being totally constant. Trump is bringing in historical revenue to
38:30
Speaker 19: the US Treasury when it comes to the actual revenue
38:33
Speaker 19: from these tariffs as well. There, because most presidents have
38:36
Speaker 19: kind of shied away from tarrort policy recent decades, Donald
38:38
Speaker 19: Trump's bringing it back. He's getting in more revenue without
38:41
Speaker 19: seeing much of effects, if at all, when it comes
38:43
Speaker 19: to inflation. The stock market is soaring there, you know,
38:46
Speaker 19: it's almost as if it's almost as if the billionaire
38:48
Speaker 19: guy who has run the Trump organization for thirty forty
38:51
Speaker 19: years kind of sort of maybe knows what he's doing
38:53
Speaker 19: when it comes to managing the economy. And it would
38:55
Speaker 19: have been really really nice to have seen in retrospect
38:57
Speaker 19: a little bit more humility on the part of the
38:59
Speaker 19: talk heads on left wing keeble newsnmers when they were
39:02
Speaker 19: confidently predicting with a very high degree of certainty that
39:05
Speaker 19: Donald Trump had crashed the economy, when we now know
39:07
Speaker 19: it to simply not be the case.
39:09
Speaker 3: No, absolutely, I think this is the work of an
39:11
Speaker 3: America First agenda. I guess, as Trump had promised. Now,
39:15
Speaker 3: the Ukrainian President Voladimir Zelenski has been excluded from peace
39:19
Speaker 3: talks between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin on Friday, and
39:22
Speaker 3: now we know why.
39:23
Speaker 4: The White House Press Secretary.
39:25
Speaker 3: Caroline Leavitt confirmed it's because the Russian leader extended the
39:29
Speaker 3: invitation to meet, So Josh, basically, it was because this
39:32
Speaker 3: meeting was at the request of Putin himself. How will
39:35
Speaker 3: this work in Trump's favor in being able to really
39:37
Speaker 3: suss out whether Vladimir Putin is serious or not about
39:41
Speaker 3: ending this war.
39:43
Speaker 19: Well, it strukes me first was a little petty on
39:45
Speaker 19: behalf of Vladimir Zelenski that he's seeing no effectively simply
39:49
Speaker 19: because this was Pudin's idea in the first place. I mean,
39:51
Speaker 19: I mean, who cares, frankly whose idea it was? I mean,
39:54
Speaker 19: the notion that we could have all three men the
39:56
Speaker 19: same room. I personally was very excited about that as
39:58
Speaker 19: someone who thinks that this war has gone on for way,
40:01
Speaker 19: way too long, as someone who has been calling for
40:03
Speaker 19: US statesmanship and diplomacy to try to find a viable
40:06
Speaker 19: off ramp, I was hoping that that Zelenski and Putin
40:08
Speaker 19: would finally, once for all get in the same room.
40:10
Speaker 12: So I guess that will wait for another day.
40:12
Speaker 19: Look, Trump has really amped up the rhetoric against Lamir
40:15
Speaker 19: Putin over the past couple of months. He has had
40:18
Speaker 19: a mixed record historically when it comes to Russia. Some
40:21
Speaker 19: people said he's been a little too friendly rhetorically. The
40:23
Speaker 19: policy has actually always been consistent. He's been very tough
40:25
Speaker 19: on Russia really going back to his first term, and
40:28
Speaker 19: now the rhetoric is really kind of fully matching the
40:30
Speaker 19: policy as well there. I don't think Putin's going to
40:32
Speaker 19: be particularly receptive there, So it'll be very interesting to
40:34
Speaker 19: see if Trump can actually try to finagle him and
40:37
Speaker 19: actually try to get him to make some sort of
40:38
Speaker 19: concessions there. The basic roadmap for what a deal in
40:42
Speaker 19: rush of Ukraine, what it actually looks like me I
40:44
Speaker 19: think it's pretty common sense, is going to require painful
40:46
Speaker 19: concessions on both parties.
40:48
Speaker 12: This is where leaders come in.
40:49
Speaker 19: I mean, this is this is the ultimate kind of
40:51
Speaker 19: deal here. If you know, Trump literally wrote the ard
40:53
Speaker 19: of the deal here. He's had amazing success, by the way,
40:56
Speaker 19: on the world stage already. You've had this recent Armenia
40:58
Speaker 19: Azerbra Jehan piece deal at the White House just last Friday,
41:01
Speaker 19: there was Congo and Rwanda, India and Pakistan, Israel and
41:04
Speaker 19: Iran after twelve day war, on and on we go.
41:06
Speaker 19: He's had an amazing, amazing run of diplomatic successes trying
41:10
Speaker 19: to foster and secure a peace and a very turbulent
41:13
Speaker 19: part of the world there. We'll see if he can
41:15
Speaker 19: do this big deal with Russia and Ukraine, but I
41:17
Speaker 19: definitely would not discount the possibility of it.
41:19
Speaker 3: Well, I think the world's going to be waiting, standing
41:22
Speaker 3: by with bita breath to see what comes out of
41:24
Speaker 3: this all important meeting this week. Josh Hammer, good to
41:27
Speaker 3: catch up, Thanks so much for your.
41:28
Speaker 12: Time, Good bed, Thank you.
41:30
Speaker 4: Still to come.
41:30
Speaker 3: Footballer Cristiano Ronaldo proposes to his long term girlfriend. We'll
41:35
Speaker 3: tell you more about that massive rock on her finger.
41:38
Speaker 6: D D.
41:39
Speaker 4: Dud Levy will join me next. Welcome back. Well.
41:50
Speaker 3: Taylor Swift has sent fans into meltdown after announcing her
41:54
Speaker 3: brand new album while appearing on her boyfriend Travis Kelsey's podcast,
41:59
Speaker 3: Have a Look At So.
42:01
Speaker 4: I wanted to show you something.
42:02
Speaker 16: Okay, what we got?
42:04
Speaker 5: We got a briefcase.
42:07
Speaker 14: Yep, Mitt Green, Yep.
42:11
Speaker 4: This is my brand new album, The Life of a
42:14
Speaker 4: Show Girl.
42:16
Speaker 3: Johnny Midout for more on this is broadcaster d D Dunleavy,
42:20
Speaker 3: d D. Good to catch up with you. Well, I
42:22
Speaker 3: mean the fans are already excited.
42:25
Speaker 4: Are they? I don't know.
42:26
Speaker 13: She's like Coriander for there. I just don't have a
42:29
Speaker 13: taste for Taylor's switch. And I think she's still trying
42:33
Speaker 13: to recover her image after being booed at the super Bowl.
42:36
Speaker 13: Do you remember after she bo she endorsed Kamala Harris
42:39
Speaker 13: and Tim Walls. Obviously not a very popular call with
42:42
Speaker 13: the people of America. And I got a problem with
42:45
Speaker 13: him too.
42:45
Speaker 20: Now.
42:46
Speaker 13: He said something along the lines of this was an
42:48
Speaker 13: interview after his GQ cover that when I'm with her,
42:52
Speaker 13: we feel like we're just regular people. We feel like it,
42:55
Speaker 13: but we're not. We're actually elite. We're filthy rich, We're
42:58
Speaker 13: much more famous than you, and we's rarefied air. I
43:02
Speaker 13: just don't buy into the two of them, and I'd
43:05
Speaker 13: be very interesting to see what her album sales are
43:08
Speaker 13: like for this, because I think her politics clearly do
43:11
Speaker 13: not align with the bulk of the American public at
43:13
Speaker 13: the moment. Will she have lost any of her fan
43:15
Speaker 13: base with ye to see?
43:17
Speaker 4: Well, I think you raise a really good point.
43:18
Speaker 3: Actually, I'm curious to know what this will do.
43:21
Speaker 4: I still think that.
43:22
Speaker 3: She does have fans around the world, particularly the younger fans.
43:25
Speaker 3: I'm not a fan myself. I couldn't tell you any
43:27
Speaker 3: of her songs, but I just want to touch on
43:29
Speaker 3: that GQ magazine article that you mentioned. So Travis Kelcey,
43:34
Speaker 3: of course, he was on the front cover and he
43:36
Speaker 3: made the comments about their romance.
43:39
Speaker 4: He said, quote, whenever I'm with her, it feels.
43:41
Speaker 3: Like we're just regular people, as you said, and then
43:44
Speaker 3: he went on to say, when there is not a
43:45
Speaker 3: camera on us, we're just two people.
43:47
Speaker 4: That are in love. Ddie.
43:49
Speaker 3: They've been together now since September twenty twenty three. I mean, look,
43:52
Speaker 3: they seem genuinely happy. Who knows, but she hasn't written
43:55
Speaker 3: a hate song about him just yet.
43:59
Speaker 13: No, but there is that threat hanging over his head,
44:02
Speaker 13: So that's probably way he's keeping himself very tirdy and
44:04
Speaker 13: saying all the right things about her.
44:06
Speaker 7: Actually, just on the hate songs.
44:08
Speaker 13: I'm watching very closely to see whether she does have
44:11
Speaker 13: any songs that make any references to Blake Lively, because
44:14
Speaker 13: she clearly wasn't happy with Lively dragging her into that
44:17
Speaker 13: whole lawsuit that she's got underway with Justin Baldoni, and
44:21
Speaker 13: Taylor certainly didn't want to be associated with that. So
44:24
Speaker 13: it does seem like they're still friends, but it'll be
44:27
Speaker 13: seem to see there's any references to her in her
44:29
Speaker 13: But she uses her albums like a way of sort
44:31
Speaker 13: of cleaning house, doesn't she.
44:33
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I mean, you wouldn't want to be on
44:34
Speaker 3: her avengelist because she'll write a number one best selling
44:37
Speaker 3: hit about you and all your dirty laundry will be
44:40
Speaker 3: exposed to the entire world. That seems to be the
44:43
Speaker 3: way Taylor Swift operates.
44:45
Speaker 8: D D.
44:46
Speaker 3: Now, look, let's talk about football. Like Cristiano Ronaldo. He
44:49
Speaker 3: and his long term girlfriend Georgina Rodriguez. They have announced
44:54
Speaker 3: that they are engaged. The pair shared this picture on
44:57
Speaker 3: Instagram and.
44:58
Speaker 4: Well, look at that.
45:01
Speaker 3: I mean, it speaks for itself, does it? At DDA
45:04
Speaker 3: any bets on how much the rock costs.
45:07
Speaker 13: Well, there is an estimate that it's round about five
45:09
Speaker 13: million dollars, which does sound right for something that big.
45:13
Speaker 4: I'm seriously worried for these two, Like, who's going to
45:15
Speaker 4: change the doon to cover in that household?
45:18
Speaker 13: How on earth would she do any housework? To be
45:21
Speaker 13: very old fashioned about it, but how could you do
45:23
Speaker 13: anything in your life with that giant thing hanging off
45:25
Speaker 13: your hand? Look, I actually, Deneka, I'm actually really happy
45:29
Speaker 13: for these two. I'm a Christiano Ronaldo fan, I'm a
45:32
Speaker 13: measures United fan, and I think they too, really do
45:36
Speaker 13: appear to be very much in love. And they have
45:38
Speaker 13: suffered some loss in their lives. They did lose a
45:40
Speaker 13: baby in child birth, so I wish them all the
45:42
Speaker 13: very best. But you just can sort of sense Elizabeth
45:44
Speaker 13: Taylor from beyond the grave grasping for that diamond, can't you.
45:48
Speaker 4: Oh, she would have loved that.
45:50
Speaker 3: I mean, that is an incredible piece of jewelry, right
45:53
Speaker 3: though I wouldn't want I would literally not want to
45:55
Speaker 3: leave my house with that on. That would be too
45:57
Speaker 3: much of a risk in my view.
45:59
Speaker 4: Now. Look, let's turn to Meghan mark All.
46:00
Speaker 3: She's released the trailer for season two of her cooking
46:03
Speaker 3: show We Love Megan, a day after revelations that she
46:07
Speaker 3: and Harry had cut a much cheaper deal with Netflix.
46:09
Speaker 4: Have a look at this. I love the idea of
46:12
Speaker 4: spending time together and.
46:15
Speaker 7: Finding new ways to.
46:16
Speaker 4: Show that people you care. Look at that. Oh my gosh,
46:19
Speaker 4: I could do this every day. Let's get created and
46:22
Speaker 4: learn something new.
46:23
Speaker 13: Least be done.
46:24
Speaker 4: I don't know what's happening.
46:26
Speaker 3: We can look forward to another season of patronizing cooking videos.
46:30
Speaker 4: Yeah, and look, let's be clear.
46:31
Speaker 13: And I think most people know this now. It was
46:32
Speaker 13: filmed at the same time as the first season.
46:34
Speaker 4: It's not like.
46:35
Speaker 13: Netflix went, oh, that was so great, Let's go back
46:37
Speaker 13: and film some more. This feels very much to me
46:41
Speaker 13: like Netflix are picking up all the rubbish and putting
46:44
Speaker 13: out the trash. As the Americans would say, They're just
46:46
Speaker 13: getting rid of the last bit of content that they've
46:49
Speaker 13: made with these two. And the deal feels just like
46:51
Speaker 13: a big old fresh air sandwich. There's nothing much to it.
46:54
Speaker 13: Netflix probably, if anything, would gain something because they get
46:58
Speaker 13: first look at any garbage at these two come up
47:00
Speaker 13: with next. Most of the stuff that they've made has
47:02
Speaker 13: been an abject failure. So I can't imagine Netflix ever
47:06
Speaker 13: running anything once they've got this second part of With
47:09
Speaker 13: Love out of the way. I don't think we'll see
47:11
Speaker 13: Harry and Meghan on Netflix again, and just on this show.
47:14
Speaker 4: I do have some problems with it.
47:15
Speaker 13: She's got Chrissy Teagan there as one of her friends
47:18
Speaker 13: who comes over to do a bit of cooking and
47:20
Speaker 13: stuff with her.
47:21
Speaker 7: Chrissy Tagan is a horrible bully.
47:23
Speaker 13: You might remember some years ago she told a sixteen
47:26
Speaker 13: year old Courtney Stodden too that she should not breathe anymore.
47:29
Speaker 7: She basically told her to end her own life. So
47:32
Speaker 7: she's a horrible bully.
47:33
Speaker 13: They'll probably get in like a house on fire, her
47:35
Speaker 13: and Meghan, and there are four chefs on the show,
47:38
Speaker 13: all of whom have Netflix shows. It's almost as though
47:41
Speaker 13: they were contractually obliged to say yes, I'll appear with Meghan.
47:45
Speaker 13: I'd love to see the list of who was asked
47:47
Speaker 13: to be on the show but said no.
47:49
Speaker 3: Yeah, good point, I reckon there was a whole list
47:51
Speaker 3: of people who would not want to be associated with
47:53
Speaker 3: that dreadful woman. But I don't even know why they're
47:56
Speaker 3: bothering with season two. Seriously, season one.
47:58
Speaker 4: Was such a flop. Here we go again.
48:00
Speaker 3: Now, the Prince Andrew has been recorded going on a
48:03
Speaker 3: foul mouthed rant at builders putting in speed humps outside
48:06
Speaker 3: of his four thousand, eight hundred acre Windsor Great Park
48:10
Speaker 3: estate while riding his horse. The Prince apparently yelled at them, saying,
48:14
Speaker 3: what the eff are you're doing now? I mean, surely
48:16
Speaker 3: DD's got bigger issues on his plate than speed humps.
48:20
Speaker 13: Well, I'm going to defend Prince Andrew on this because
48:23
Speaker 13: that's exactly what I would do.
48:24
Speaker 7: I hate being held up in the traffic, I hate
48:27
Speaker 7: speed humps.
48:28
Speaker 13: He does seem to have a little bit of a
48:30
Speaker 13: temper and a potty mouth on him, and there are
48:31
Speaker 13: reports of him, you know, yelling at some assistant some
48:34
Speaker 13: years ago because she hadn't closed.
48:35
Speaker 7: The curtains properly.
48:37
Speaker 13: At one point, he apparently tried to ram a set
48:39
Speaker 13: of gates with his Ranger over because he wanted to
48:42
Speaker 13: get somewhere quicker and he couldn't get through these gates,
48:44
Speaker 13: which again is something I would do if I had
48:46
Speaker 13: a range rover. It does seem as though that perhaps
48:50
Speaker 13: there's something more to this. Maybe he's under a little
48:52
Speaker 13: bit of stress at the moment, and could that be
48:54
Speaker 13: related to the increased level of talk about the Epstein files.
48:58
Speaker 13: Who knows, but he seems to be very edgy right now.
49:01
Speaker 4: Yeah, he seems to be very touchy right now. I
49:04
Speaker 4: do agree.
49:05
Speaker 3: I wouldn't be happy about speed hums myself, but if
49:07
Speaker 3: I was Prince Andrew, I'd probably be focusing on Epstein
49:10
Speaker 3: and other issues, not what's going on outside of a
49:13
Speaker 3: mansion and a big property right now.
49:15
Speaker 4: But yeah, it never ends.
49:16
Speaker 7: Does it.
49:17
Speaker 3: D D dud Levy. Great to see you. Thank you
49:19
Speaker 3: so much for your time.
49:20
Speaker 4: This evening, Thanks Janika, and that's it from me. Up
49:24
Speaker 4: next is news Night. Good Night.
