Speaker 1 (00:02):
This is its Power Hour with Gabriella Power.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Hello and welcome to Power Hour. I'm Gabriella Power. Thank
you for joining us. This weekend marked the six month
mark of Trump two point zero, and he has not
slowed down for a moment. He's signed one hundred and
seventy executive orders, as met with twenty three foreign leaders,
received three Nobel Peace Prize nominations, and even earned himself
(00:29):
the nickname Daddy.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
And then Daddy has sometimes do strong language and.
Speaker 4 (00:35):
I have to use a certain.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Word, the President has posted on Truth Social Wow, time flies.
Today is that six month anniversary of my second term. Importantly,
it's being hailed as one of the most consequential.
Speaker 5 (00:49):
Periods of any president.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
He went on to say that six months is not
a long time to have totally revived a major country.
One year ago, our country was dead with almost no
hope of revival. Today, the USA is the hottest and
most respected country anywhere in the world.
Speaker 5 (01:07):
Happy Anniversary.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
White House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt spoke about the anniversary
at the White House, acknowledging the cultural issues that he's
taken on, including DEI and keeping men out of women's sports,
but also highlighting what he's been able to achieve on
the world stage.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
And look at what the president has done on the
world stage. He has ended wars, wars like India and Pakistan.
He continues to work aggressively to end the war in
Russia and Ukraine. He completely obliterated Iran's nuclear sites. He
has continued to hopefully negotiate a ceasefire between Israel and
Gaza to end that conflict and release all of the hostages.
(01:45):
We've seen many of the hostages released as a result
of this president's efforts.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
So what does the mainstream media had to say? Well,
even ABC and CNN have had to acknowledge he is
delivering on his promises.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
Border with Mexico, where there is little question that Trump
is fulfilling a campaign promise.
Speaker 6 (02:07):
All illegal entry will immediately be halted.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
In a matter of months, migrant crossings have hit record lows.
Apprehensions that the southern border dropped to six thousand and
seventy two in the month of June, a massive reduction
from the eighty three thousand, five hundred and thirty two
apprehensions recorded in June of last year.
Speaker 6 (02:30):
Hello, I'm Jack zapperin Washington, where the state of our
Union is thinking, Wow, a lot can happen in just
six months. Today marks half a year since President Trump
took office again, and already his second term is shaping
up to be even more consequential than his first. The
presidents has followed through on promises to ramp up deportations
and post tariffs, target his political enemies, including the news media,
(02:54):
reduced the federal bureaucracy, and slash USA to foreign countries.
Speaker 5 (02:58):
It's been an extraordinary six months.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
But let's not make today all about Donald Trump, because
this weekend also marked another significant anniversary. Exactly one year ago,
President Joe Biden dropped out of the race and Kamala
Harris took over. And in just fifteen weeks, Kamala Harris
burned through one point five billion dollars. Get her campaign
was a disaster. Now, Joe Biden's son, Hunter Biden, well,
(03:24):
he's opened up about why the Democrats lost the election
in what was one of the most unhinged and vulgar
rants I have ever heard. Hunter unleash's on George Clooney,
Nancy Pelosi, the hosts of Pod Saves America, Jake Tapper,
and others, and he even gives a suggestion that absolutely
no one asked for.
Speaker 5 (03:43):
Which is what he would do if he was the president.
Speaker 7 (03:46):
But these guys think that we need to run away
from all values in.
Speaker 4 (03:50):
Order for us to lead.
Speaker 7 (03:51):
I say you, how are we getting those people back
from in El Salvador, Because I'll tell you what, if
I became president in two years from now, or four
years from now or three years from now, I would
pick up the phone and call the President l Salvador
and say you either send them back or I'm going
to invade. It's a freaking crime what they're doing. He
(04:12):
is a fucking dictator thug with Kelly or drump both.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
Joining us now is Hillary Fordwitch, president and founder of Strollmak. Hillary,
Great to see you again. Let's start with Hunter Biden's meltdown.
During an interview with YouTube personality Andrew Callahan, he claimed
that Joe Biden could have won the election, and it's
essentially the Democrats fault because they did not remain loyal
to his father.
Speaker 7 (04:42):
Take a look at this, Kim Kim Kim and everybody
around him. I don't have to be nice. Number one.
I agree with Quentin Tarantino, George Plooney is not an actor.
He is a like I don't know what he is.
He's a brain and by the way, and God bless him.
Speaker 5 (05:02):
You know what.
Speaker 7 (05:03):
He suposedly treats his friends really well, you know what
I mean, buys them things. And he's got a really
great place in Lake Como, and he's great friends with
Barack Obama. You what do you have to do with anything?
Why do I have to and listen to you? What
right do you have to step on a man who's
given fifty two years of his in life to the
services of this country and decide that you, George Clooney,
(05:23):
are going to take out basically a full phe ad
in New York Times to me and James Carville, who
hasn't run a race in forty years.
Speaker 5 (05:31):
Wow, he's charming, isn't he.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Look how many f poems he used in the space
of what thirty seconds. He went on to say that
the Democratic Party is not dead though, and there are
strong leaders such as Tim.
Speaker 5 (05:41):
Waltz, And no, that is not a joke.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
I want to get to the hunter Biden laptop in
a moment where he defends himself, which is unbelievable. But
what did he make of what he had to say
there about the Democrats and the rant against George Clooney
and others.
Speaker 4 (05:57):
Well, first of all, pleasure to be back with you, Gabriella.
Speaker 8 (06:00):
This is a ghastly topic because I had to watch
it because I knew I'd be doing this hit.
Speaker 4 (06:05):
Otherwise I don't think I could have endured it. Really.
Speaker 8 (06:07):
They always say that expletives are for those that have
an insufficient vocabulary to express themselves, So that's what we
can't express himself, he looked to me to be on
some kind of drugs.
Speaker 4 (06:18):
And then very importantly that was so scary and horrific.
On the other hand, maybe very good.
Speaker 8 (06:23):
He said that if he was to run for president
in two years, oh, please do because I think it's
very good for Republicans, except we don't want to have
to hear that. And I am so delighted that Sky
News beaked out all of those expeediess because it was boring,
it was vulgar, and last but not least, I think
Gabriella very seriously, how sad that a son of a
(06:44):
president would.
Speaker 4 (06:45):
Stoop so low to speak like that. That is not
an example for any child in this nation or any nation.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
Completely agree with you it really we can laugh about it.
It's entertaining because it's just so outrageous, so unhinged, But
no one to listen to that. And look, he goes
on to defend himself when he was asked about Hunter
Biden's laptop.
Speaker 5 (07:06):
We were all.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Told, of course, this was Russian at disinformation until it
came out that it was actually true. But this is
what he had to say about it.
Speaker 7 (07:14):
When they say Hunter Biden's laptop, what is it that
they're talking about?
Speaker 9 (07:18):
You know, well, I know that your entire iCloud was
connected to it, all of your personal text messages, private photos,
all that kind of stuff like everybody's laptop. Yeah, okay,
and you left it with a repair shop owner.
Speaker 4 (07:31):
Particularly.
Speaker 9 (07:31):
I think the New York Post was involved in the
spearheading of this mass dissemination of your private materials. From
what it seemed like, it was a lot of private
text between you and your friends, family, Your entire sort
of private life was on there.
Speaker 7 (07:44):
Everybody has a digital life. Almost everybody has a digital life.
Everybody has a digital life pretty much, and that includes
voicemails and pictures and test messages and emails and location
data and you know, everything. Everybody you do, you do it?
Everybody that is here right now? By what means they
got my digital footprint going back decades?
Speaker 2 (08:05):
Oh Hillary, everyone has a laptop, only a Hunter Biden's
was filled with evidence of his drug use, sleeping with prostitutes,
and of course contained evidence of influence peddling all those
details with his business meetings in involving Ukraine, involving China,
involving the Big Guy. But according to Hunter Biden, look
everyone has a laptop.
Speaker 5 (08:25):
Why are you're looking at mine?
Speaker 2 (08:27):
It's absolutely outrageous, as you say, this is the former
president's son, and this is a person who has found
guilty of violating federal tax and gun laws, but of
course received a pardon from his dad that dates back
to January twenty fourteen, the year he joined Ukrainian energy
company Barisma.
Speaker 5 (08:45):
I mean, if the Biden family.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
Name couldn't get any worse, any more damage, I think
Hunter might have just managed to do just that.
Speaker 5 (08:53):
What do you make of this?
Speaker 8 (08:55):
I think you're right. And actually, something else I would
suggest is the contrast between Hunter Biden actually in the
Trump children. Let's look at the give me the parent,
I'll give you the child. It says actually a lot
about Joe Biden that he has a son that turned
out like this, And as we know, Joe Biden actually
even has a granddaughter that he doesn't even acknowledge, and
(09:16):
legitimate grand child, but does not even acknowledge her while
professing to be Catholic. But not only is his father
obviously a hypocrite and somewhat crooked, that much evidence has demonstrated.
Look at the Trump children, look at how well mannered
they are, look at how well behaved they are. There's
none of these scandals whatsoever, no photograph, there's none of this.
(09:36):
I think that says a lot about the families, the values,
and how Joe Biden raised his son.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
An excellent point. Well, let's look at Trump's six months.
It's interesting. He's been criticized for obviously plenty of things,
but one thing in particular.
Speaker 5 (09:50):
Would be tariffs.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
But just to wake after he signed the big beautiful
bill into law, the US government posted a budget surplus
for June, partly due to Trump's tariff policy. Is in
June twenty twenty five, budget recorded a surplus of over
twenty seven billion dollars.
Speaker 5 (10:07):
What's your take on this?
Speaker 8 (10:09):
Oh, you said, partly due to it. I wonder where
any other money has come from. I think, Gabriella, it's
all due to the tariffs, because this is revenue that
has come obviously externally, and this is great for the
American taxpayer. Back to eighteen seventy, they actually even had
to establish a Blue Ribbon Commission to determine how to
spend all the money that the US generated from tariffs.
(10:31):
I think we could end up being in a somewhat
of a similar position to that. There weren't even any
income taxes until the First World War. So I think
the tariffs thus far have been a tremendous success. You
have seen every nation that he's been engaged with coming
to the table. You're seeing the EU capitulating at the moment.
I think there'll be a flood of deals soon, and
(10:51):
very importantly, I think for the American consumer. All the
skeptics said, well, this is going to be passed on
to the consumer. Well, the consumer certainly hasn't stopped spending,
so I don't think so.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
I want to talk to you about the latest on
the Epstein files. Although Donald Trump called it a hoax,
it appears that Donald Trump is listening to the uproar.
At Attorney General Pam Bondi's direction, the Department of Justice
formally moved to unseal long secret grand jury transcripts from
the Jeffrey Epstein case. Now this comes just a couple
(11:22):
of days after Lara Trump publicly said that more might
be coming out. My take on this as the administration
is clearly listening and responding. But it's interesting, despite the
backlash to how this has been handled, Trump's approval rating
is very strong.
Speaker 10 (11:39):
I think this one surprised me a bit because of
all these complaints online going after Trump and the Epstein files.
You might think is approval ratings were going down Republicans.
If anything, they're going up Republicans who approve of Trump.
Look at our CNN pull the prior one to eighty
six percent, the one out this week eighty eight percent
with Republicans. How about Quinnipiac the prior poll eighty seven
percent approval Republiclkins this week out ninety percent with Republicans.
(12:03):
If anything, Donald Trump's approval rating has gone up since
this whole Epstein saga started. He is at the apex
or close there too, in terms of its popularity with
Republican voters Epstein files complaints or not.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
Isn't it interesting as much as some in the media
have tried to use the Epstein files to really attack
Donald Trump.
Speaker 5 (12:23):
Just look at what CNN was reporting.
Speaker 8 (12:26):
Yes, And I think it's really important, Gabriella, to pay
attention to which network you mentioned exactly CNN. If this
was any of the more right leaning networks, you'd say, oh,
well maybe, But I think this is really an important
number that they would even report that. And if we
could just think it very very clear with regard to
Donald Trump and his association with Epstein, if there have
been any real dirt, Gabriella, don't you think the Democrats
(12:49):
would have definitely surfaced it.
Speaker 4 (12:50):
Don't you think it would come out during the campaign?
Speaker 8 (12:52):
Of course it would have done. And also remember he
did know Epstein. There are photographs of him actually with Millennia,
with him at mar Lago, all of basically Palm Beach
did things with them, have part But that was back
in the eighties and nineties. You look at how young
he was after two thousand and four, when there was
a real estate deal with Trump out bit Abstein, before
(13:13):
any of these convictions, President Trump, then Donald Trump had
nothing more to do with him after two thousand and four.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
Today, Director of National Intelligence Telsey Gabbard announced the release
of more than two hundred thousand files related to the
assassination of doctor Martin Luther King Junior, in response to
an executive order from President Donald Trump. Telsy Gabbard said
that the American people have waited nearly sixty years to
see the full scope of the federal government's investigation into
(13:40):
doctor King's assassination. She went on to say that under
President Trump's leadership, we are ensuring that no stone is
left unturned in our mission to deliver complete transparency on
this pivotal and tragic event in our nation's history. And
I extend my deepest appreciation to the King family for
their support. I want to turn to the UK now
(14:01):
because protesters have marched on a suspected migrant hotel in
Essex after an asylum seeker was charged with sexual assault. Now,
just look at the protesters. Protesters were heard chanting save
our kids, and some were holding up other signs.
Speaker 5 (14:16):
Let's just take a look.
Speaker 7 (14:19):
Say okay, say okay.
Speaker 11 (14:32):
Very powerful message, very powerful message.
Speaker 5 (14:37):
Hilary, what more can you tell us about this?
Speaker 12 (14:40):
Well?
Speaker 8 (14:40):
I think what was really very important to focus on
here is these are women. They're holding signs that definitely
look very homemade. All the signs that everybody was holding
were completely different. It wasn't like one of these organized
kind of protests where some kind of company people. So
these are mothers that are concerned about their daughters. They're
regular people. So I think it is so wrong to
(15:02):
paint and portrait regular tax paying, good citizens. These mothers
as far right wing. No, they are concerned about their daughters.
They're concerned about their community and the fact that actually,
I'm going to be in the UK as of next
week and when I arrive at customs, if I was
to say, excuse me, where's my free five star hotel please,
(15:23):
I had to be laughed at or maybe I'll be
jail so I won't try that joke. But really, Gabriella,
this is a sense in the UK.
Speaker 4 (15:29):
This isn't right.
Speaker 8 (15:30):
This isn't fair to be spending taxpayers dollar pounds on migrants,
providing free housing, free food for them, giving them iPhones
and giving them games and pleasurable activities while they're committing
atrocious crimes.
Speaker 4 (15:45):
And what happened in Epping was.
Speaker 8 (15:46):
There was a you have to say, alleged, an alleged
assault of a young I believe fourteen year old girl.
These communities don't want that sort of.
Speaker 5 (15:54):
Crime, no, of course, just horrific allegations.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
They're Hillary Fordwich, thank you so much for joining us
on power.
Speaker 5 (16:00):
Are always pleasure to speak.
Speaker 4 (16:01):
With you, pleasure, Gabriella, thank you.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
It's time for media meltdowns and CBS has canceled The
Late Show with Stephen Colbert, a program that reportedly cost
more than one hundred million dollars a year to produce,
with two hundred staff members including twenty writers, and its
ratings have been plummeting, diving more than thirty percent over
the past five years.
Speaker 5 (16:27):
And looking back at.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
His skits, what makes you wonder why the audience would
want to switch off? The Late Show with Stephen Colbert
(17:10):
was reportedly losing around forty million.
Speaker 5 (17:12):
Dollars a year.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
He's also been getting paid upwards of fifteen million dollars
a year to bring you not just those weird dance
performances with vaccines, but also unhinged rants about Donald Trump.
Let's not forget Stephen Colbert's reaction to Joe Biden's twenty twenty.
Speaker 5 (17:27):
Win Joe Biden did it.
Speaker 13 (17:33):
He's our next president.
Speaker 4 (17:37):
Do the waves, do the.
Speaker 13 (17:40):
Hey fun fact. This weekend, a song called Donald Trump
hit number one on iTunes after four years Americans can exhale.
Never a good sign when the majority of Americans react
to you losing your job the way they did to
us getting bin Laden go back to the shadow, Donny,
look at him, go he's running laps around Trump. I
(18:04):
refuse to remember his name.
Speaker 5 (18:06):
What was it again?
Speaker 2 (18:08):
It was Ronald Clump running labs around Donald Trump. I
don't think so. But Stephen Colbert turned what was supposed
to be a comedy.
Speaker 5 (18:16):
Show into an anti Trump variety.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
Series, and the lefties are losing it over news of
the show's cancelation. Failed Vice presidential candidate Tim Waltz Tampon
Timmy has posted to social media declaring that Stephen Colbert
is the best in the business. He always told the
truth to power and pulled no punches.
Speaker 5 (18:36):
We need more of that, not less well having.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
Tim Walton Dorsey says it all, doesn't it. But he's
not the only one who's devastated. He's actress Jamie Lee Curtis.
Speaker 4 (18:46):
It's bad.
Speaker 12 (18:48):
He's a great, great guy.
Speaker 3 (18:49):
Yes, they're trying to silence people, but that won't work.
Speaker 12 (18:54):
It won't work.
Speaker 4 (18:56):
We will just get louder.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
And comedian Rosie O'Donnell is not happy. She insists that
the financial decision by CBS two acts a show that
wasn't writing is actually Donald Trump's fault, and it really
means that Trump is going to arrest every artist that
disagrees with him.
Speaker 4 (19:14):
Well will it take, America?
Speaker 12 (19:17):
What will it take?
Speaker 7 (19:20):
He's going to arrest every artist that disagrees with him,
and pretty much every artist does, whether or not they're
brave enough to say it is another thing.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
Joining us now is senior editor at Large at Newsweek,
Josh Hammer. Josh, great to see you. Can I get
your reaction to the meltdown now that Stephen Colbert's show
is getting asked.
Speaker 14 (19:44):
Gabrielle, I wear many hats here in the United States,
and one of the things I am is I am
also a lawyer by training. And there's an old lawyer
saying here in America. Maybe maybe it's made its way
to Australia as well, And the saying essentially goes as follows.
They say, the facts run your side, you pound the
facts if the law is on your side, you pound
the law. And if neither facts nor law is on
(20:06):
your side, you just pound the table. And I think
basically what we've seen when when it comes to Stephen Colbert,
when it comes to to Rosie O'Donnell and all these
utter buffoons, is we're seeing a lot of pounding the
table because the facts, the law, none of it, frankly
is on their side.
Speaker 8 (20:21):
You know.
Speaker 14 (20:22):
Frankly, Gabrielle, I'm actually old enough to remember back when
Stephen Colbert was actually moderately funny, back during the Bush
administration in the early two thousands, back when I was
kind of coming up political age. He had the show
in Comedy and Comedy Central where he was kind of satirizing.
It was satirical show where he was kind of giving
off the impression that he was a very warhawk pro
(20:43):
Bush administration Republican from his home state of South Carolina,
and everyone knew that he was satirizing, but it was
actually still kind of sort of funny. The problem is
that is that when he went to CBS, he totally
dropped any pretense of satire or irony or any of
the various things that made him funny in the first place,
and came like one of the other general kind of
anti Trump media clowns. So he you know, he sacrificed himself.
(21:06):
He undermined his own claim to being somewhat somewhat different,
at least a little bit unique.
Speaker 11 (21:11):
There.
Speaker 14 (21:11):
His show has been losing oodles and oodles of money,
and I say, good freaking riddance. I mean, see a
later pal. My only relaction, my only other reaction at
this point is can we please have the same thing
happened to Jimmy Kimmel, another guy who wants a lot
a time, was actually somewhat funny and now hasn't told
a funny joke in probably a decade at this point there,
So I would love to see Jimmy Kimmel get the
Colbert treatment of at this point.
Speaker 5 (21:31):
Yeah, there are just too many of them. Now.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
I want to turn to a huge story. The Director
of National Intelligence, Tulsey Gabbard is detailed striking findings from
declassified documents claiming to showcase overwhelming evidence that Obama officials
laid the groundwork for what would be the year's long
Trump Russia collusion probe after the twenty sixteen election.
Speaker 15 (21:51):
Listen to this, and President Obama and his team their
goal was to essentially not accept the decision of the
American people and to use this manufactured, politicized intelligence as
a means to enact what would become essentially a year's
long coup against President Trump. The year's long Muller investigation
(22:13):
that cost tax payers almost forty million dollars, two congressional impeachments,
endless smears and attacks against not only President Trump but
his family. He had senior members of his team who
were investigated, some arrested and jailed. We had heightened and
increased tensions between the United States and Russia. The list
(22:34):
goes on and on about the consequences of President Obama
and his senior cabinet members politicizing intelligence once again. And
I say these words very clearly to enact what was
essentially a year's long coup, subverting the will of the
American people in that election.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
So Telsey Gabad there she went on to say, the
implications of this are frankly nothing short of historic. Over
one hundred documents that were released really detail and provide
evidence of how this treasonous conspiracy was directed by Obama.
Just weeks before he was due to leave office after
Trump had already gotten elected. Josh, can I get your
reaction to all of this, So.
Speaker 14 (23:16):
This is a massive deal you correctly identify as Gabriella
as not a small deal, but a massive deal. So,
if you look back over the past ten years, of
all the various things that have happened to the American
people that I made the American people lose trust in
their elites and institutions in Washington, d C. In general,
Russiagate is really the first thing that really kicked off
as very toxic chain of events. First was Russiagate's and
(23:39):
then well, then it was the entire Russia pro that
was a twenty twenty election. It was the COVID nineteen lockdowns,
the Hunter Biden laptop, and so much else. I mean,
I mean, frankly, the most recent thing that comes to
mind would just be the years long campaign to hide
the clearly deterior mental and physical health of Joe Biden
from the American people. So all the various things I
have givenalvinized the rise of this deeply populist, anti establishment,
(24:04):
anti institutional, anti elite sentiment in the United States, and frankly,
for very good reason. But Russia Gate was kind of
the original sin of this, of this whole talk spiral.
And it's worth noting that there has been no justice.
There has been no justice for Russia Gate whatsoever other
than a former FBI agent by the name of Kevin
Kleinsmith who forged a Phiza surveillance warrant to allow the
(24:24):
Obama campaign to spy on Carter Page, George Papadopolis and
other Trump twins to seen campaign staffers. Kevin Klinsmith essentially
got a slap on the wrists. He was told to
have twelve months probation, some community service hours. There no
one the point is Gabriella, and no one has had
a purp walk, no one has had a mug shot,
no one has served a day in jail. But what
Tulseay Gabbert is revealing here that Barack Obama, when an
(24:47):
administration was doing the whole Kevin Kleinsmith forging the survisa
of the Phiza surveillance warrants and basically just spying on
the opposition campaign. There they knew darn well that this
was fabricated. They knew darn well that the so called
Steel Do was just bought and paid for by the
Hillary Clinton campaign, and it was laundered through Fusion GPS
and Perkins Coolie, a very white shoe, kind of prestigious
(25:07):
law firm here.
Speaker 4 (25:08):
In the US.
Speaker 12 (25:09):
It was all bs.
Speaker 14 (25:10):
It was all nonsense there. And then after Trump gets
an office in January twenty seventeen, Jim Comey, the FBI
director at the time, when he decides to bring in
bomb Moller, after Jeff Sessions recused himself and to see
the Rushygate thing through. Jim Comy also would have known
therefore at that time that this was nonsense. So, you know,
there's new revelation that kind of comes in tandem with
(25:31):
the Tulsi Gabber news that the pam Bindi DOJ is
now looking into potentially prosecuting John Brennan and Jim Comy.
I say good, because these are the people that polled
with Tulsi Gabbert is calling a correctly calling a coup
d'eta on the American people.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
Yeah, you're not the only ones saying good. But I
want to talk about the Democrats. Now, Minnesota's Democratic Party
has endorsed far left state Senator Omar Fatta for Minneapolis mayor,
snubbing incumbent Democrat Jacob Fray, and Omar Fatta had has received.
I suppose many comparisons to New York City at Zoran Ma'amdani,
and I want to get into Mamdani in a moment.
(26:07):
But Omar Fata, you know, pays elected as mayor, he
would want to raise the city's minimum wage, increase the
supply of affordable housing, and combat what he calls police
violence aka defund the police.
Speaker 5 (26:20):
Can I get your assessment of Omar Fatter?
Speaker 14 (26:24):
You know, Gabrielle, for a very long time, I've been
warning that the great well, there's frankly numerous threats to
Western civilization. But if I had, if I had to
really distill it into one term, you could probably distill
it into the term red Green alliance, which is a
term that I am any other conservators you're in the
US like to throw about. It refers to this very
toxic alliance between the far left socialists and Marxist and
(26:47):
radicalists on the Islamus. And I say that for contact
because when you look at someone like this guy in Minneapolis,
or when you look at someone like Zora Mamdani in
New York City, you're seeing these these single body encapsulations
and distillations of the so called Red Green Alliance. It's
an absurd combination of woke Muslim identity politics and all
(27:07):
of that entails when it comes to grievances against the Jews,
the Christians, Western civilization in general, and then you kind
of throw in this utterly astounding I mean, ignorance at best,
but frankly just economic arson at worst when it comes
to their views on bread and butter economic policies there.
I mean, if this is the direction that the Democratic
Party actually intends to go, they are not going to
(27:29):
get anything other than just repeatedly shlacked by the American
people at the ballot box. Again, as someone who frankly
wishes the Democratic Party nothing but the absolute worst, I'm
not exactly complaining about this, especially as someone who lives
in Florida. I live in a red state. I'm pretty
shielded from whatever hooligans are doing in Michigan or Minnesota,
or god forbid, in New York City there, So I
(27:50):
don't particularly care that much, to be honest with you,
If this is really what they want to do, I
think is really really stupid. But they seem to be
frankly doubling down on stupid. As far as I can tell,
that seems to be their best strategy right now.
Speaker 2 (28:01):
Well, socialists around Mam Danny appears to becoming the face
of the Democratic Party.
Speaker 5 (28:05):
I mean, look, I want.
Speaker 2 (28:07):
To get your thoughts on what that means for New
York City. But you've also written about how the Democratic
Party's brand is absolutely in tatters. And a recent poll
revealed that Congressional Democrats have a nineteen percent approval rating
and all time low in the history of that particular poll. Also,
Hunter Biden, we've heard from him today. He's gone on
an unhinched rant blaming the Democrats for the election loss.
Speaker 5 (28:31):
Also confident though that.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
The party isn't dead, saying there are strong candidates such
as Tim Waltz and Kamala Harris.
Speaker 5 (28:38):
But he also revealed what he would do as president.
Speaker 7 (28:41):
Look at this, but these guys think that we need
to run away from all values in.
Speaker 4 (28:46):
Order for us to lead.
Speaker 5 (28:47):
I say you, how are.
Speaker 7 (28:48):
We getting those people back from in El Salvador? Because
I'll tell you what, if I became president in two
years from now, or four years from now or three
years from now, I would pick up the phone and
call the president and say you either send them back
or I'm gonna invade. It's a freaking crime what they're doing.
He's a fucking dictator, Doug Kelly or drump both.
Speaker 5 (29:12):
Oh he's eloquent, isn't he. Josh?
Speaker 14 (29:16):
You know, he said a lot of really kind of
far out their things over the course of this interview.
I'm not mistaken, Gabriella. He basically said that that birds,
you know, like the animals that fly on this guy.
He basically said that birds like or like a psyop
or fake or something like that.
Speaker 8 (29:31):
There.
Speaker 14 (29:31):
I mean, maybe he's done, you know, one to one
too many cocaine lace venders or something like that there.
But he, you know, he has some choice words for
various other people in his party. He was He was
excoriating James Carville, who was the winning campaign manager for
Bill Clinton back in nine too. He said basically that
the Carville has not won a race in forty years.
He went very hard after the the Obama podcast bros,
(29:55):
the folks who are hosting all those popular podcasts, saying, oh,
what have you guys done? You know, you just want
couple elections. All that's because you have Barack Obama, and
he was talking a lot about trying to defend his father. Look,
I mean this is someone who is I guess, trying
to stay relevant there. But you know, frankly, Gabrielle as
someone you know who now has a young daughter. I
look at Hunter Biden and it's very pitiful. The whole
(30:18):
thing is deeply sad. And you know, Joe Biden is
exiting stage left at a very very terrible time. His
entire life is going to be defined frankly by his
tragic decision for his own party to not step down there.
But I think in some other ways Joe Biden's life
is going to be defined by Hunter Biden. Because I
(30:38):
hate to say it, but again, as a new father,
I can't help but think it that this situation where
Joe Biden just epically failed in his capacity as a
father to raise a son like this there, especially for
a family in the public light, you know, a very
public facing, prominent family, Democratic Party royalty. I mean, for
the son to end up like this, you know, as
a new father myself, it really just makes me nothing
(30:58):
other than Frankly just said.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
Josh Hammer, I completely agree with you, Senior editor at
large at Newsweek.
Speaker 5 (31:04):
Josh Hamma, thank you so much for joining us.
Speaker 11 (31:06):
Thank you very much.
Speaker 2 (31:11):
The video of CEO Andy Byron and his HR manager
Kristin Cabot getting sprung on a kiss cam at a Coldplay
concert has spread right around the world. Now I have
to issue a correction after my reaction to the video
on Friday, after it went viral, there was a statement
circulating that was being attributed to Andy Byron, which was
not true. He has not issued a public statement, and
(31:33):
I apologize for bringing that to you on Friday. Andy
Byron has resigned after being placed on leave, and Astronomer
issued a statement saying it's committed to the values and
culture that have guided us since our founding. Our leaders
are expected to set the standard in both conduct and accountability,
and recently that standard was not met. Now, Cold placinger
(31:55):
Chris Martin has broken his silence after the incident, and
he's been careful issuing a warning to members of his
audience at the kisscam was coming out.
Speaker 4 (32:06):
We'd like to say hello to some of you in
the crowd.
Speaker 13 (32:15):
How we're going to do that is we're going to
use our cameras and put some of you on.
Speaker 4 (32:21):
The big screen.
Speaker 2 (32:26):
He is not the only one making light of it.
There are memes flooding the internet, and the kisscam has
been replaced by the Coldplay camp at sporting events. Joining
(33:06):
us now is News Court columnist Angelae Mollard, Angela, thank
you for joining us.
Speaker 12 (33:11):
Thanks.
Speaker 2 (33:11):
Before we get into the Royal and Entertainment news, let's
talk about the fallout from this, because that video has
just gone so viral. I wanted to talk to you about,
you know, I suppose their reaction and then the reaction
we've seen around the world, and also what Chris Martin
had to say. I thought the way he addressed it
was pretty funny.
Speaker 11 (33:30):
Yeah, I thought he addressed it really well because he's
saying that, you know, we.
Speaker 12 (33:33):
Could you whatever. You're not in a private.
Speaker 11 (33:35):
Place now, he careful, he says, goes on to say.
Speaker 12 (33:38):
Put your makeup on.
Speaker 11 (33:39):
What I think is really interesting about this and I
haven't seen a story of this magniture go viral like
this in all my years in journalism, and I think
I've been thinking about a lot. I think there's an
evolution from the whole private investigator paparazzi climate to this
citizen journalist where everyone now has a phone, they can
take a picture of anyone to a public a spectacle
(34:01):
where you can be caught out. So your privacy has
changed over the decades in terms of in terms of
how it can be given away anyone. Now you have
to be completely cautious of your own privacy. I think
so on that front, I think there'll be rethinking of
people going to events, walking in the street.
Speaker 12 (34:20):
You know, we know that people have affairs.
Speaker 11 (34:22):
It's a part of humanity and society. I'm interested in
it from a media perspective, how much it's blown up
and why has it And of course it.
Speaker 12 (34:31):
Wouldn't have happened if they hadn't sprung apart like that.
Speaker 11 (34:33):
Of course we're now seeing as the cold cold play can.
Speaker 12 (34:36):
But I think there will be a reckoning now.
Speaker 11 (34:38):
I think people going out who are in extramarital affairs
or doing something they shouldn't will be a lot more
cautious going forward. I thought Chris Martin handled it beautifully
though he wasn't apologizing for it.
Speaker 12 (34:49):
You was just giving a warning.
Speaker 2 (34:51):
I know, a little warning for everyone in the audience
and warning right around the world. And as you say,
it's an interesting point that you know everyone's a journalist.
Speaker 5 (34:59):
At this point, you can flowed. Any of his material
can go viral.
Speaker 2 (35:02):
There's an independent let's talk about sorry the royal family now,
and there's an independent HR investigation into working conditions at
High Grove Gardens. This is the King's private estate. Just
comes after the past several years. A dozen full time
gardeners have quit High Grove since twenty twenty two citing
toxic workplace conditions.
Speaker 5 (35:22):
Can you bring us up to speed?
Speaker 11 (35:23):
And this is really interesting because it appeared in The Times,
which is a really reptible news organization. They've talked to
evidently talked to lots of the gardeners at High Grove,
of course, High Grove being Prince Charles's private home where
he has all of Higgs Gardens that he absolutely does.
Speaker 12 (35:40):
Look.
Speaker 11 (35:40):
Some of the stories are hilarious, things like the King
got very upset that they hadn't cultivated his delphiniums so
they won't bloom that year. There was a plant a
cross the path leading to the swimming pool and he
got angry about that. There was a member of staff
who didn't know his facts on a particular flower and
King Charles reported said, you know, I never want to
(36:01):
see that man again. What's interesting though, is that, you know,
you think about gardens and how harmonious and pretty nyol are,
but you know, this is almost a repeat of Meghan
being you know, the investigation into her bullying. I'm not
suggesting that the King is bullying, but clearly there's lo morrel.
Speaker 12 (36:18):
They are claiming it.
Speaker 11 (36:19):
They're very low paid, these gardeners, and that they can't
replace them. So you know, you'd have thought that everyone
would want to work in the King's gardens, one of
the most beautiful gardens country, but there's a lot of
unrest there.
Speaker 2 (36:32):
Very interesting now at Prince saw she turns twelve tomorrow.
I can't believe that, but the day might come with
a potential change for the young royal and the past.
Speaker 5 (36:42):
The British royal family.
Speaker 2 (36:43):
Followed the protocol that the direct heirs to the throne
do not travel together, of course, in an effort to
secure the future of the monarchy in the event of
a potential tragic event.
Speaker 5 (36:52):
Do you think we're going to see this change.
Speaker 11 (36:54):
I think it'd be really interesting to see whether it
does or not. When Prince William was twelve, he immediately
could not fly with his father, the then Prince Charles.
Kaju and William are a lot more flexible. They're very
family minded. They spend a lot more time together. You
have to think about what would be the potential feelings
of George if he was traveling separately. In fact, a
(37:15):
former Royal pilot has talked about how the rest of
the family, Diana, Charles and Harry would go on one
flight and William would be on a second.
Speaker 12 (37:24):
Fight.
Speaker 11 (37:25):
You have to think about how might that impact on George.
So I think they would think about it very strategically.
Instead of it being George on one flight, it might
be Mum and George on one and you know, William
and the other two kids on the other. But it
isn't obviously something that other families don't have to think
about because the law of succession. You know, if you
wipe out one whole family, goodness, you know, obviously that
would be an absolute tragedy.
Speaker 12 (37:46):
But then where does it fall to you?
Speaker 11 (37:47):
This is why you have fifth six, you have Harry
and Beatrice, and you know a long line of succession.
But look, he's only twelve, and I just think try
to keep these children as young as they can for
as long as they can.
Speaker 5 (37:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (38:00):
Now, Family Guy has taken aim at Harry and Meghan.
In its most recent episode, they suggest that their marriage
wasn't a great moment in history.
Speaker 5 (38:08):
Take a look at this, Brian.
Speaker 4 (38:10):
This is a terrible idea. We could change the course
of history.
Speaker 7 (38:13):
You always say that, but doesn't history pretty much suck?
I mean the crusades, Hitler, Prince.
Speaker 13 (38:18):
Harry marrying Meghan Michael again, Oh, like all of your
wives are so much better.
Speaker 2 (38:26):
It's not the first time that Family Guy has mocked
Harry and Meghan. I think that last scene at the
end with Prince Harry was quite funny.
Speaker 5 (38:32):
What did you think of it?
Speaker 11 (38:33):
Look, I think it's really interesting because of course South
Park did that other one with the worldwide privacy to it.
Speaker 12 (38:39):
They are always right for pillaring, aren't they.
Speaker 11 (38:41):
And I think the interesting point here is that we
don't see this happening to Kiton William, We don't see
it happen to any other We don't.
Speaker 12 (38:47):
See it happening to the King and Queen.
Speaker 11 (38:49):
The reason is, and this is what Harry and Meghan
should have thought about at the time, is that you
are protected when you're in the royal family, not just
because you're within it, but because people acknowledge that you
you have been born into this and that you are
at the forefront of service. So there is a natural
respect there this the fact that they're on these TV
shows is a consequence of them choosing to step away. Now,
(39:12):
they could have chosen to step away quietly and not
spoken up, and I don't think they would have had
this kind of treatment.
Speaker 5 (39:18):
The fact is.
Speaker 11 (39:19):
That they chose to step away, to talk endlessly about
the royal family, to really share that dirty laundry, and
now it's coming back to bite them. And we know
that Netflix is announced its top three hundred programs and
Meghan's program was not in it.
Speaker 12 (39:36):
She is not popular. And if you don't have that
popularity and you.
Speaker 11 (39:39):
Don't really have that connection to the royal family, what
do you have?
Speaker 12 (39:43):
What do you stand for? What's your purpose? You don't
want that to be happening to you.
Speaker 5 (39:48):
No, very well said.
Speaker 2 (39:49):
Look, finally, I want to talk about the Beckham's football legend.
David Beckham appears to have stuffed a grooming mishap when
he was attempting a DIY buzz cut that went spectacularly wrong.
Speaker 5 (40:00):
I shared a bit of it with the world.
Speaker 4 (40:02):
What have you done? What have you done? The thing
of the clippers fell off my head? What have you done?
It's not funny? Let me see, Let me see. I
mean the hours of content that the kids have got
(40:23):
from Miss the clipper head fell off. It does not
look good. I'm going to always be honest with you.
It looks terrible.
Speaker 2 (40:33):
I think that's my favorite part, hearing Victoria say it
does not look good.
Speaker 5 (40:37):
I will always be honest with you. I know.
Speaker 11 (40:39):
I think these two do celebrity better than anyone. I
could watch hours and hours of them. I love the
Beckham documentary. I could do another twelve hours of the
Beckham documentary. There is something about them that's really real.
This is something that would happen at anyone else's house, right,
And I love David Beckham's whole tone. He's so he's
so every man, and yet we all mya him. And look,
(41:01):
you know, their family has had lots of challenges with
Brooklyn moving away, but there's something they just get it.
Speaker 12 (41:07):
They get how to do social media.
Speaker 11 (41:09):
And they get how to be themselves. And I find
that really are I just find it really beguiling. I
would watch anything with that data. They are talent and
they will be talent forevermore and I love it more.
Speaker 12 (41:22):
Bring it on, make more mistakes.
Speaker 2 (41:24):
Please right here, Angela Mollard, thank you so much for
joining us. Thanks that is power, our Thank you for
your company. Make sure you subscribe to Sky News Australia
on YouTube
This is its Power Hour with Gabriella Power.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Hello and welcome to Power Hour. I'm Gabriella Power. Thank
you for joining us. This weekend marked the six month
mark of Trump two point zero, and he has not
slowed down for a moment. He's signed one hundred and
seventy executive orders, as met with twenty three foreign leaders,
received three Nobel Peace Prize nominations, and even earned himself
(00:29):
the nickname Daddy.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
And then Daddy has sometimes do strong language and.
Speaker 4 (00:35):
I have to use a certain.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Word, the President has posted on Truth Social Wow, time flies.
Today is that six month anniversary of my second term. Importantly,
it's being hailed as one of the most consequential.
Speaker 5 (00:49):
Periods of any president.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
He went on to say that six months is not
a long time to have totally revived a major country.
One year ago, our country was dead with almost no
hope of revival. Today, the USA is the hottest and
most respected country anywhere in the world.
Speaker 5 (01:07):
Happy Anniversary.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
White House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt spoke about the anniversary
at the White House, acknowledging the cultural issues that he's
taken on, including DEI and keeping men out of women's sports,
but also highlighting what he's been able to achieve on
the world stage.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
And look at what the president has done on the
world stage. He has ended wars, wars like India and Pakistan.
He continues to work aggressively to end the war in
Russia and Ukraine. He completely obliterated Iran's nuclear sites. He
has continued to hopefully negotiate a ceasefire between Israel and
Gaza to end that conflict and release all of the hostages.
(01:45):
We've seen many of the hostages released as a result
of this president's efforts.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
So what does the mainstream media had to say? Well,
even ABC and CNN have had to acknowledge he is
delivering on his promises.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
Border with Mexico, where there is little question that Trump
is fulfilling a campaign promise.
Speaker 6 (02:07):
All illegal entry will immediately be halted.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
In a matter of months, migrant crossings have hit record lows.
Apprehensions that the southern border dropped to six thousand and
seventy two in the month of June, a massive reduction
from the eighty three thousand, five hundred and thirty two
apprehensions recorded in June of last year.
Speaker 6 (02:30):
Hello, I'm Jack zapperin Washington, where the state of our
Union is thinking, Wow, a lot can happen in just
six months. Today marks half a year since President Trump
took office again, and already his second term is shaping
up to be even more consequential than his first. The
presidents has followed through on promises to ramp up deportations
and post tariffs, target his political enemies, including the news media,
(02:54):
reduced the federal bureaucracy, and slash USA to foreign countries.
Speaker 5 (02:58):
It's been an extraordinary six months.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
But let's not make today all about Donald Trump, because
this weekend also marked another significant anniversary. Exactly one year ago,
President Joe Biden dropped out of the race and Kamala
Harris took over. And in just fifteen weeks, Kamala Harris
burned through one point five billion dollars. Get her campaign
was a disaster. Now, Joe Biden's son, Hunter Biden, well,
(03:24):
he's opened up about why the Democrats lost the election
in what was one of the most unhinged and vulgar
rants I have ever heard. Hunter unleash's on George Clooney,
Nancy Pelosi, the hosts of Pod Saves America, Jake Tapper,
and others, and he even gives a suggestion that absolutely
no one asked for.
Speaker 5 (03:43):
Which is what he would do if he was the president.
Speaker 7 (03:46):
But these guys think that we need to run away
from all values in.
Speaker 4 (03:50):
Order for us to lead.
Speaker 7 (03:51):
I say you, how are we getting those people back
from in El Salvador, Because I'll tell you what, if
I became president in two years from now, or four
years from now or three years from now, I would
pick up the phone and call the President l Salvador
and say you either send them back or I'm going
to invade. It's a freaking crime what they're doing. He
(04:12):
is a fucking dictator thug with Kelly or drump both.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
Joining us now is Hillary Fordwitch, president and founder of Strollmak. Hillary,
Great to see you again. Let's start with Hunter Biden's meltdown.
During an interview with YouTube personality Andrew Callahan, he claimed
that Joe Biden could have won the election, and it's
essentially the Democrats fault because they did not remain loyal
to his father.
Speaker 7 (04:42):
Take a look at this, Kim Kim Kim and everybody
around him. I don't have to be nice. Number one.
I agree with Quentin Tarantino, George Plooney is not an actor.
He is a like I don't know what he is.
He's a brain and by the way, and God bless him.
Speaker 5 (05:02):
You know what.
Speaker 7 (05:03):
He suposedly treats his friends really well, you know what
I mean, buys them things. And he's got a really
great place in Lake Como, and he's great friends with
Barack Obama. You what do you have to do with anything?
Why do I have to and listen to you? What
right do you have to step on a man who's
given fifty two years of his in life to the
services of this country and decide that you, George Clooney,
(05:23):
are going to take out basically a full phe ad
in New York Times to me and James Carville, who
hasn't run a race in forty years.
Speaker 5 (05:31):
Wow, he's charming, isn't he.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Look how many f poems he used in the space
of what thirty seconds. He went on to say that
the Democratic Party is not dead though, and there are
strong leaders such as Tim.
Speaker 5 (05:41):
Waltz, And no, that is not a joke.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
I want to get to the hunter Biden laptop in
a moment where he defends himself, which is unbelievable. But
what did he make of what he had to say
there about the Democrats and the rant against George Clooney
and others.
Speaker 4 (05:57):
Well, first of all, pleasure to be back with you, Gabriella.
Speaker 8 (06:00):
This is a ghastly topic because I had to watch
it because I knew I'd be doing this hit.
Speaker 4 (06:05):
Otherwise I don't think I could have endured it. Really.
Speaker 8 (06:07):
They always say that expletives are for those that have
an insufficient vocabulary to express themselves, So that's what we
can't express himself, he looked to me to be on
some kind of drugs.
Speaker 4 (06:18):
And then very importantly that was so scary and horrific.
On the other hand, maybe very good.
Speaker 8 (06:23):
He said that if he was to run for president
in two years, oh, please do because I think it's
very good for Republicans, except we don't want to have
to hear that. And I am so delighted that Sky
News beaked out all of those expeediess because it was boring,
it was vulgar, and last but not least, I think
Gabriella very seriously, how sad that a son of a
(06:44):
president would.
Speaker 4 (06:45):
Stoop so low to speak like that. That is not
an example for any child in this nation or any nation.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
Completely agree with you it really we can laugh about it.
It's entertaining because it's just so outrageous, so unhinged, But
no one to listen to that. And look, he goes
on to defend himself when he was asked about Hunter
Biden's laptop.
Speaker 5 (07:06):
We were all.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Told, of course, this was Russian at disinformation until it
came out that it was actually true. But this is
what he had to say about it.
Speaker 7 (07:14):
When they say Hunter Biden's laptop, what is it that
they're talking about?
Speaker 9 (07:18):
You know, well, I know that your entire iCloud was
connected to it, all of your personal text messages, private photos,
all that kind of stuff like everybody's laptop. Yeah, okay,
and you left it with a repair shop owner.
Speaker 4 (07:31):
Particularly.
Speaker 9 (07:31):
I think the New York Post was involved in the
spearheading of this mass dissemination of your private materials. From
what it seemed like, it was a lot of private
text between you and your friends, family, Your entire sort
of private life was on there.
Speaker 7 (07:44):
Everybody has a digital life. Almost everybody has a digital life.
Everybody has a digital life pretty much, and that includes
voicemails and pictures and test messages and emails and location
data and you know, everything. Everybody you do, you do it?
Everybody that is here right now? By what means they
got my digital footprint going back decades?
Speaker 2 (08:05):
Oh Hillary, everyone has a laptop, only a Hunter Biden's
was filled with evidence of his drug use, sleeping with prostitutes,
and of course contained evidence of influence peddling all those
details with his business meetings in involving Ukraine, involving China,
involving the Big Guy. But according to Hunter Biden, look
everyone has a laptop.
Speaker 5 (08:25):
Why are you're looking at mine?
Speaker 2 (08:27):
It's absolutely outrageous, as you say, this is the former
president's son, and this is a person who has found
guilty of violating federal tax and gun laws, but of
course received a pardon from his dad that dates back
to January twenty fourteen, the year he joined Ukrainian energy
company Barisma.
Speaker 5 (08:45):
I mean, if the Biden family.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
Name couldn't get any worse, any more damage, I think
Hunter might have just managed to do just that.
Speaker 5 (08:53):
What do you make of this?
Speaker 8 (08:55):
I think you're right. And actually, something else I would
suggest is the contrast between Hunter Biden actually in the
Trump children. Let's look at the give me the parent,
I'll give you the child. It says actually a lot
about Joe Biden that he has a son that turned
out like this, And as we know, Joe Biden actually
even has a granddaughter that he doesn't even acknowledge, and
(09:16):
legitimate grand child, but does not even acknowledge her while
professing to be Catholic. But not only is his father
obviously a hypocrite and somewhat crooked, that much evidence has demonstrated.
Look at the Trump children, look at how well mannered
they are, look at how well behaved they are. There's
none of these scandals whatsoever, no photograph, there's none of this.
(09:36):
I think that says a lot about the families, the values,
and how Joe Biden raised his son.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
An excellent point. Well, let's look at Trump's six months.
It's interesting. He's been criticized for obviously plenty of things,
but one thing in particular.
Speaker 5 (09:50):
Would be tariffs.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
But just to wake after he signed the big beautiful
bill into law, the US government posted a budget surplus
for June, partly due to Trump's tariff policy. Is in
June twenty twenty five, budget recorded a surplus of over
twenty seven billion dollars.
Speaker 5 (10:07):
What's your take on this?
Speaker 8 (10:09):
Oh, you said, partly due to it. I wonder where
any other money has come from. I think, Gabriella, it's
all due to the tariffs, because this is revenue that
has come obviously externally, and this is great for the
American taxpayer. Back to eighteen seventy, they actually even had
to establish a Blue Ribbon Commission to determine how to
spend all the money that the US generated from tariffs.
(10:31):
I think we could end up being in a somewhat
of a similar position to that. There weren't even any
income taxes until the First World War. So I think
the tariffs thus far have been a tremendous success. You
have seen every nation that he's been engaged with coming
to the table. You're seeing the EU capitulating at the moment.
I think there'll be a flood of deals soon, and
(10:51):
very importantly, I think for the American consumer. All the
skeptics said, well, this is going to be passed on
to the consumer. Well, the consumer certainly hasn't stopped spending,
so I don't think so.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
I want to talk to you about the latest on
the Epstein files. Although Donald Trump called it a hoax,
it appears that Donald Trump is listening to the uproar.
At Attorney General Pam Bondi's direction, the Department of Justice
formally moved to unseal long secret grand jury transcripts from
the Jeffrey Epstein case. Now this comes just a couple
(11:22):
of days after Lara Trump publicly said that more might
be coming out. My take on this as the administration
is clearly listening and responding. But it's interesting, despite the
backlash to how this has been handled, Trump's approval rating
is very strong.
Speaker 10 (11:39):
I think this one surprised me a bit because of
all these complaints online going after Trump and the Epstein files.
You might think is approval ratings were going down Republicans.
If anything, they're going up Republicans who approve of Trump.
Look at our CNN pull the prior one to eighty
six percent, the one out this week eighty eight percent
with Republicans. How about Quinnipiac the prior poll eighty seven
percent approval Republiclkins this week out ninety percent with Republicans.
(12:03):
If anything, Donald Trump's approval rating has gone up since
this whole Epstein saga started. He is at the apex
or close there too, in terms of its popularity with
Republican voters Epstein files complaints or not.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
Isn't it interesting as much as some in the media
have tried to use the Epstein files to really attack
Donald Trump.
Speaker 5 (12:23):
Just look at what CNN was reporting.
Speaker 8 (12:26):
Yes, And I think it's really important, Gabriella, to pay
attention to which network you mentioned exactly CNN. If this
was any of the more right leaning networks, you'd say, oh,
well maybe, But I think this is really an important
number that they would even report that. And if we
could just think it very very clear with regard to
Donald Trump and his association with Epstein, if there have
been any real dirt, Gabriella, don't you think the Democrats
(12:49):
would have definitely surfaced it.
Speaker 4 (12:50):
Don't you think it would come out during the campaign?
Speaker 8 (12:52):
Of course it would have done. And also remember he
did know Epstein. There are photographs of him actually with Millennia,
with him at mar Lago, all of basically Palm Beach
did things with them, have part But that was back
in the eighties and nineties. You look at how young
he was after two thousand and four, when there was
a real estate deal with Trump out bit Abstein, before
(13:13):
any of these convictions, President Trump, then Donald Trump had
nothing more to do with him after two thousand and four.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
Today, Director of National Intelligence Telsey Gabbard announced the release
of more than two hundred thousand files related to the
assassination of doctor Martin Luther King Junior, in response to
an executive order from President Donald Trump. Telsy Gabbard said
that the American people have waited nearly sixty years to
see the full scope of the federal government's investigation into
(13:40):
doctor King's assassination. She went on to say that under
President Trump's leadership, we are ensuring that no stone is
left unturned in our mission to deliver complete transparency on
this pivotal and tragic event in our nation's history. And
I extend my deepest appreciation to the King family for
their support. I want to turn to the UK now
(14:01):
because protesters have marched on a suspected migrant hotel in
Essex after an asylum seeker was charged with sexual assault. Now,
just look at the protesters. Protesters were heard chanting save
our kids, and some were holding up other signs.
Speaker 5 (14:16):
Let's just take a look.
Speaker 7 (14:19):
Say okay, say okay.
Speaker 11 (14:32):
Very powerful message, very powerful message.
Speaker 5 (14:37):
Hilary, what more can you tell us about this?
Speaker 12 (14:40):
Well?
Speaker 8 (14:40):
I think what was really very important to focus on
here is these are women. They're holding signs that definitely
look very homemade. All the signs that everybody was holding
were completely different. It wasn't like one of these organized
kind of protests where some kind of company people. So
these are mothers that are concerned about their daughters. They're
regular people. So I think it is so wrong to
(15:02):
paint and portrait regular tax paying, good citizens. These mothers
as far right wing. No, they are concerned about their daughters.
They're concerned about their community and the fact that actually,
I'm going to be in the UK as of next
week and when I arrive at customs, if I was
to say, excuse me, where's my free five star hotel please,
(15:23):
I had to be laughed at or maybe I'll be
jail so I won't try that joke. But really, Gabriella,
this is a sense in the UK.
Speaker 4 (15:29):
This isn't right.
Speaker 8 (15:30):
This isn't fair to be spending taxpayers dollar pounds on migrants,
providing free housing, free food for them, giving them iPhones
and giving them games and pleasurable activities while they're committing
atrocious crimes.
Speaker 4 (15:45):
And what happened in Epping was.
Speaker 8 (15:46):
There was a you have to say, alleged, an alleged
assault of a young I believe fourteen year old girl.
These communities don't want that sort of.
Speaker 5 (15:54):
Crime, no, of course, just horrific allegations.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
They're Hillary Fordwich, thank you so much for joining us
on power.
Speaker 5 (16:00):
Are always pleasure to speak.
Speaker 4 (16:01):
With you, pleasure, Gabriella, thank you.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
It's time for media meltdowns and CBS has canceled The
Late Show with Stephen Colbert, a program that reportedly cost
more than one hundred million dollars a year to produce,
with two hundred staff members including twenty writers, and its
ratings have been plummeting, diving more than thirty percent over
the past five years.
Speaker 5 (16:27):
And looking back at.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
His skits, what makes you wonder why the audience would
want to switch off? The Late Show with Stephen Colbert
(17:10):
was reportedly losing around forty million.
Speaker 5 (17:12):
Dollars a year.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
He's also been getting paid upwards of fifteen million dollars
a year to bring you not just those weird dance
performances with vaccines, but also unhinged rants about Donald Trump.
Let's not forget Stephen Colbert's reaction to Joe Biden's twenty twenty.
Speaker 5 (17:27):
Win Joe Biden did it.
Speaker 13 (17:33):
He's our next president.
Speaker 4 (17:37):
Do the waves, do the.
Speaker 13 (17:40):
Hey fun fact. This weekend, a song called Donald Trump
hit number one on iTunes after four years Americans can exhale.
Never a good sign when the majority of Americans react
to you losing your job the way they did to
us getting bin Laden go back to the shadow, Donny,
look at him, go he's running laps around Trump. I
(18:04):
refuse to remember his name.
Speaker 5 (18:06):
What was it again?
Speaker 2 (18:08):
It was Ronald Clump running labs around Donald Trump. I
don't think so. But Stephen Colbert turned what was supposed
to be a comedy.
Speaker 5 (18:16):
Show into an anti Trump variety.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
Series, and the lefties are losing it over news of
the show's cancelation. Failed Vice presidential candidate Tim Waltz Tampon
Timmy has posted to social media declaring that Stephen Colbert
is the best in the business. He always told the
truth to power and pulled no punches.
Speaker 5 (18:36):
We need more of that, not less well having.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
Tim Walton Dorsey says it all, doesn't it. But he's
not the only one who's devastated. He's actress Jamie Lee Curtis.
Speaker 4 (18:46):
It's bad.
Speaker 12 (18:48):
He's a great, great guy.
Speaker 3 (18:49):
Yes, they're trying to silence people, but that won't work.
Speaker 12 (18:54):
It won't work.
Speaker 4 (18:56):
We will just get louder.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
And comedian Rosie O'Donnell is not happy. She insists that
the financial decision by CBS two acts a show that
wasn't writing is actually Donald Trump's fault, and it really
means that Trump is going to arrest every artist that
disagrees with him.
Speaker 4 (19:14):
Well will it take, America?
Speaker 12 (19:17):
What will it take?
Speaker 7 (19:20):
He's going to arrest every artist that disagrees with him,
and pretty much every artist does, whether or not they're
brave enough to say it is another thing.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
Joining us now is senior editor at Large at Newsweek,
Josh Hammer. Josh, great to see you. Can I get
your reaction to the meltdown now that Stephen Colbert's show
is getting asked.
Speaker 14 (19:44):
Gabrielle, I wear many hats here in the United States,
and one of the things I am is I am
also a lawyer by training. And there's an old lawyer
saying here in America. Maybe maybe it's made its way
to Australia as well, And the saying essentially goes as follows.
They say, the facts run your side, you pound the
facts if the law is on your side, you pound
the law. And if neither facts nor law is on
(20:06):
your side, you just pound the table. And I think
basically what we've seen when when it comes to Stephen Colbert,
when it comes to to Rosie O'Donnell and all these
utter buffoons, is we're seeing a lot of pounding the
table because the facts, the law, none of it, frankly
is on their side.
Speaker 8 (20:21):
You know.
Speaker 14 (20:22):
Frankly, Gabrielle, I'm actually old enough to remember back when
Stephen Colbert was actually moderately funny, back during the Bush
administration in the early two thousands, back when I was
kind of coming up political age. He had the show
in Comedy and Comedy Central where he was kind of satirizing.
It was satirical show where he was kind of giving
off the impression that he was a very warhawk pro
(20:43):
Bush administration Republican from his home state of South Carolina,
and everyone knew that he was satirizing, but it was
actually still kind of sort of funny. The problem is
that is that when he went to CBS, he totally
dropped any pretense of satire or irony or any of
the various things that made him funny in the first place,
and came like one of the other general kind of
anti Trump media clowns. So he you know, he sacrificed himself.
(21:06):
He undermined his own claim to being somewhat somewhat different,
at least a little bit unique.
Speaker 11 (21:11):
There.
Speaker 14 (21:11):
His show has been losing oodles and oodles of money,
and I say, good freaking riddance. I mean, see a
later pal. My only relaction, my only other reaction at
this point is can we please have the same thing
happened to Jimmy Kimmel, another guy who wants a lot
a time, was actually somewhat funny and now hasn't told
a funny joke in probably a decade at this point there,
So I would love to see Jimmy Kimmel get the
Colbert treatment of at this point.
Speaker 5 (21:31):
Yeah, there are just too many of them. Now.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
I want to turn to a huge story. The Director
of National Intelligence, Tulsey Gabbard is detailed striking findings from
declassified documents claiming to showcase overwhelming evidence that Obama officials
laid the groundwork for what would be the year's long
Trump Russia collusion probe after the twenty sixteen election.
Speaker 15 (21:51):
Listen to this, and President Obama and his team their
goal was to essentially not accept the decision of the
American people and to use this manufactured, politicized intelligence as
a means to enact what would become essentially a year's
long coup against President Trump. The year's long Muller investigation
(22:13):
that cost tax payers almost forty million dollars, two congressional impeachments,
endless smears and attacks against not only President Trump but
his family. He had senior members of his team who
were investigated, some arrested and jailed. We had heightened and
increased tensions between the United States and Russia. The list
(22:34):
goes on and on about the consequences of President Obama
and his senior cabinet members politicizing intelligence once again. And
I say these words very clearly to enact what was
essentially a year's long coup, subverting the will of the
American people in that election.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
So Telsey Gabad there she went on to say, the
implications of this are frankly nothing short of historic. Over
one hundred documents that were released really detail and provide
evidence of how this treasonous conspiracy was directed by Obama.
Just weeks before he was due to leave office after
Trump had already gotten elected. Josh, can I get your
reaction to all of this, So.
Speaker 14 (23:16):
This is a massive deal you correctly identify as Gabriella
as not a small deal, but a massive deal. So,
if you look back over the past ten years, of
all the various things that have happened to the American
people that I made the American people lose trust in
their elites and institutions in Washington, d C. In general,
Russiagate is really the first thing that really kicked off
as very toxic chain of events. First was Russiagate's and
(23:39):
then well, then it was the entire Russia pro that
was a twenty twenty election. It was the COVID nineteen lockdowns,
the Hunter Biden laptop, and so much else. I mean,
I mean, frankly, the most recent thing that comes to
mind would just be the years long campaign to hide
the clearly deterior mental and physical health of Joe Biden
from the American people. So all the various things I
have givenalvinized the rise of this deeply populist, anti establishment,
(24:04):
anti institutional, anti elite sentiment in the United States, and frankly,
for very good reason. But Russia Gate was kind of
the original sin of this, of this whole talk spiral.
And it's worth noting that there has been no justice.
There has been no justice for Russia Gate whatsoever other
than a former FBI agent by the name of Kevin
Kleinsmith who forged a Phiza surveillance warrant to allow the
(24:24):
Obama campaign to spy on Carter Page, George Papadopolis and
other Trump twins to seen campaign staffers. Kevin Klinsmith essentially
got a slap on the wrists. He was told to
have twelve months probation, some community service hours. There no
one the point is Gabriella, and no one has had
a purp walk, no one has had a mug shot,
no one has served a day in jail. But what
Tulseay Gabbert is revealing here that Barack Obama, when an
(24:47):
administration was doing the whole Kevin Kleinsmith forging the survisa
of the Phiza surveillance warrants and basically just spying on
the opposition campaign. There they knew darn well that this
was fabricated. They knew darn well that the so called
Steel Do was just bought and paid for by the
Hillary Clinton campaign, and it was laundered through Fusion GPS
and Perkins Coolie, a very white shoe, kind of prestigious
(25:07):
law firm here.
Speaker 4 (25:08):
In the US.
Speaker 12 (25:09):
It was all bs.
Speaker 14 (25:10):
It was all nonsense there. And then after Trump gets
an office in January twenty seventeen, Jim Comey, the FBI
director at the time, when he decides to bring in
bomb Moller, after Jeff Sessions recused himself and to see
the Rushygate thing through. Jim Comy also would have known
therefore at that time that this was nonsense. So, you know,
there's new revelation that kind of comes in tandem with
(25:31):
the Tulsi Gabber news that the pam Bindi DOJ is
now looking into potentially prosecuting John Brennan and Jim Comy.
I say good, because these are the people that polled
with Tulsi Gabbert is calling a correctly calling a coup
d'eta on the American people.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
Yeah, you're not the only ones saying good. But I
want to talk about the Democrats. Now, Minnesota's Democratic Party
has endorsed far left state Senator Omar Fatta for Minneapolis mayor,
snubbing incumbent Democrat Jacob Fray, and Omar Fatta had has received.
I suppose many comparisons to New York City at Zoran Ma'amdani,
and I want to get into Mamdani in a moment.
(26:07):
But Omar Fata, you know, pays elected as mayor, he
would want to raise the city's minimum wage, increase the
supply of affordable housing, and combat what he calls police
violence aka defund the police.
Speaker 5 (26:20):
Can I get your assessment of Omar Fatter?
Speaker 14 (26:24):
You know, Gabrielle, for a very long time, I've been
warning that the great well, there's frankly numerous threats to
Western civilization. But if I had, if I had to
really distill it into one term, you could probably distill
it into the term red Green alliance, which is a
term that I am any other conservators you're in the
US like to throw about. It refers to this very
toxic alliance between the far left socialists and Marxist and
(26:47):
radicalists on the Islamus. And I say that for contact
because when you look at someone like this guy in Minneapolis,
or when you look at someone like Zora Mamdani in
New York City, you're seeing these these single body encapsulations
and distillations of the so called Red Green Alliance. It's
an absurd combination of woke Muslim identity politics and all
(27:07):
of that entails when it comes to grievances against the Jews,
the Christians, Western civilization in general, and then you kind
of throw in this utterly astounding I mean, ignorance at best,
but frankly just economic arson at worst when it comes
to their views on bread and butter economic policies there.
I mean, if this is the direction that the Democratic
Party actually intends to go, they are not going to
(27:29):
get anything other than just repeatedly shlacked by the American
people at the ballot box. Again, as someone who frankly
wishes the Democratic Party nothing but the absolute worst, I'm
not exactly complaining about this, especially as someone who lives
in Florida. I live in a red state. I'm pretty
shielded from whatever hooligans are doing in Michigan or Minnesota,
or god forbid, in New York City there, So I
(27:50):
don't particularly care that much, to be honest with you,
If this is really what they want to do, I
think is really really stupid. But they seem to be
frankly doubling down on stupid. As far as I can tell,
that seems to be their best strategy right now.
Speaker 2 (28:01):
Well, socialists around Mam Danny appears to becoming the face
of the Democratic Party.
Speaker 5 (28:05):
I mean, look, I want.
Speaker 2 (28:07):
To get your thoughts on what that means for New
York City. But you've also written about how the Democratic
Party's brand is absolutely in tatters. And a recent poll
revealed that Congressional Democrats have a nineteen percent approval rating
and all time low in the history of that particular poll. Also,
Hunter Biden, we've heard from him today. He's gone on
an unhinched rant blaming the Democrats for the election loss.
Speaker 5 (28:31):
Also confident though that.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
The party isn't dead, saying there are strong candidates such
as Tim Waltz and Kamala Harris.
Speaker 5 (28:38):
But he also revealed what he would do as president.
Speaker 7 (28:41):
Look at this, but these guys think that we need
to run away from all values in.
Speaker 4 (28:46):
Order for us to lead.
Speaker 5 (28:47):
I say you, how are.
Speaker 7 (28:48):
We getting those people back from in El Salvador? Because
I'll tell you what, if I became president in two
years from now, or four years from now or three
years from now, I would pick up the phone and
call the president and say you either send them back
or I'm gonna invade. It's a freaking crime what they're doing.
He's a fucking dictator, Doug Kelly or drump both.
Speaker 5 (29:12):
Oh he's eloquent, isn't he. Josh?
Speaker 14 (29:16):
You know, he said a lot of really kind of
far out their things over the course of this interview.
I'm not mistaken, Gabriella. He basically said that that birds,
you know, like the animals that fly on this guy.
He basically said that birds like or like a psyop
or fake or something like that.
Speaker 8 (29:31):
There.
Speaker 14 (29:31):
I mean, maybe he's done, you know, one to one
too many cocaine lace venders or something like that there.
But he, you know, he has some choice words for
various other people in his party. He was He was
excoriating James Carville, who was the winning campaign manager for
Bill Clinton back in nine too. He said basically that
the Carville has not won a race in forty years.
He went very hard after the the Obama podcast bros,
(29:55):
the folks who are hosting all those popular podcasts, saying, oh,
what have you guys done? You know, you just want
couple elections. All that's because you have Barack Obama, and
he was talking a lot about trying to defend his father. Look,
I mean this is someone who is I guess, trying
to stay relevant there. But you know, frankly, Gabrielle as
someone you know who now has a young daughter. I
look at Hunter Biden and it's very pitiful. The whole
(30:18):
thing is deeply sad. And you know, Joe Biden is
exiting stage left at a very very terrible time. His
entire life is going to be defined frankly by his
tragic decision for his own party to not step down there.
But I think in some other ways Joe Biden's life
is going to be defined by Hunter Biden. Because I
(30:38):
hate to say it, but again, as a new father,
I can't help but think it that this situation where
Joe Biden just epically failed in his capacity as a
father to raise a son like this there, especially for
a family in the public light, you know, a very
public facing, prominent family, Democratic Party royalty. I mean, for
the son to end up like this, you know, as
a new father myself, it really just makes me nothing
(30:58):
other than Frankly just said.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
Josh Hammer, I completely agree with you, Senior editor at
large at Newsweek.
Speaker 5 (31:04):
Josh Hamma, thank you so much for joining us.
Speaker 11 (31:06):
Thank you very much.
Speaker 2 (31:11):
The video of CEO Andy Byron and his HR manager
Kristin Cabot getting sprung on a kiss cam at a Coldplay
concert has spread right around the world. Now I have
to issue a correction after my reaction to the video
on Friday, after it went viral, there was a statement
circulating that was being attributed to Andy Byron, which was
not true. He has not issued a public statement, and
(31:33):
I apologize for bringing that to you on Friday. Andy
Byron has resigned after being placed on leave, and Astronomer
issued a statement saying it's committed to the values and
culture that have guided us since our founding. Our leaders
are expected to set the standard in both conduct and accountability,
and recently that standard was not met. Now, Cold placinger
(31:55):
Chris Martin has broken his silence after the incident, and
he's been careful issuing a warning to members of his
audience at the kisscam was coming out.
Speaker 4 (32:06):
We'd like to say hello to some of you in
the crowd.
Speaker 13 (32:15):
How we're going to do that is we're going to
use our cameras and put some of you on.
Speaker 4 (32:21):
The big screen.
Speaker 2 (32:26):
He is not the only one making light of it.
There are memes flooding the internet, and the kisscam has
been replaced by the Coldplay camp at sporting events. Joining
(33:06):
us now is News Court columnist Angelae Mollard, Angela, thank
you for joining us.
Speaker 12 (33:11):
Thanks.
Speaker 2 (33:11):
Before we get into the Royal and Entertainment news, let's
talk about the fallout from this, because that video has
just gone so viral. I wanted to talk to you about,
you know, I suppose their reaction and then the reaction
we've seen around the world, and also what Chris Martin
had to say. I thought the way he addressed it
was pretty funny.
Speaker 11 (33:30):
Yeah, I thought he addressed it really well because he's
saying that, you know, we.
Speaker 12 (33:33):
Could you whatever. You're not in a private.
Speaker 11 (33:35):
Place now, he careful, he says, goes on to say.
Speaker 12 (33:38):
Put your makeup on.
Speaker 11 (33:39):
What I think is really interesting about this and I
haven't seen a story of this magniture go viral like
this in all my years in journalism, and I think
I've been thinking about a lot. I think there's an
evolution from the whole private investigator paparazzi climate to this
citizen journalist where everyone now has a phone, they can
take a picture of anyone to a public a spectacle
(34:01):
where you can be caught out. So your privacy has
changed over the decades in terms of in terms of
how it can be given away anyone. Now you have
to be completely cautious of your own privacy. I think
so on that front, I think there'll be rethinking of
people going to events, walking in the street.
Speaker 12 (34:20):
You know, we know that people have affairs.
Speaker 11 (34:22):
It's a part of humanity and society. I'm interested in
it from a media perspective, how much it's blown up
and why has it And of course it.
Speaker 12 (34:31):
Wouldn't have happened if they hadn't sprung apart like that.
Speaker 11 (34:33):
Of course we're now seeing as the cold cold play can.
Speaker 12 (34:36):
But I think there will be a reckoning now.
Speaker 11 (34:38):
I think people going out who are in extramarital affairs
or doing something they shouldn't will be a lot more
cautious going forward. I thought Chris Martin handled it beautifully
though he wasn't apologizing for it.
Speaker 12 (34:49):
You was just giving a warning.
Speaker 2 (34:51):
I know, a little warning for everyone in the audience
and warning right around the world. And as you say,
it's an interesting point that you know everyone's a journalist.
Speaker 5 (34:59):
At this point, you can flowed. Any of his material
can go viral.
Speaker 2 (35:02):
There's an independent let's talk about sorry the royal family now,
and there's an independent HR investigation into working conditions at
High Grove Gardens. This is the King's private estate. Just
comes after the past several years. A dozen full time
gardeners have quit High Grove since twenty twenty two citing
toxic workplace conditions.
Speaker 5 (35:22):
Can you bring us up to speed?
Speaker 11 (35:23):
And this is really interesting because it appeared in The Times,
which is a really reptible news organization. They've talked to
evidently talked to lots of the gardeners at High Grove,
of course, High Grove being Prince Charles's private home where
he has all of Higgs Gardens that he absolutely does.
Speaker 12 (35:40):
Look.
Speaker 11 (35:40):
Some of the stories are hilarious, things like the King
got very upset that they hadn't cultivated his delphiniums so
they won't bloom that year. There was a plant a
cross the path leading to the swimming pool and he
got angry about that. There was a member of staff
who didn't know his facts on a particular flower and
King Charles reported said, you know, I never want to
(36:01):
see that man again. What's interesting though, is that, you know,
you think about gardens and how harmonious and pretty nyol are,
but you know, this is almost a repeat of Meghan
being you know, the investigation into her bullying. I'm not
suggesting that the King is bullying, but clearly there's lo morrel.
Speaker 12 (36:18):
They are claiming it.
Speaker 11 (36:19):
They're very low paid, these gardeners, and that they can't
replace them. So you know, you'd have thought that everyone
would want to work in the King's gardens, one of
the most beautiful gardens country, but there's a lot of
unrest there.
Speaker 2 (36:32):
Very interesting now at Prince saw she turns twelve tomorrow.
I can't believe that, but the day might come with
a potential change for the young royal and the past.
Speaker 5 (36:42):
The British royal family.
Speaker 2 (36:43):
Followed the protocol that the direct heirs to the throne
do not travel together, of course, in an effort to
secure the future of the monarchy in the event of
a potential tragic event.
Speaker 5 (36:52):
Do you think we're going to see this change.
Speaker 11 (36:54):
I think it'd be really interesting to see whether it
does or not. When Prince William was twelve, he immediately
could not fly with his father, the then Prince Charles.
Kaju and William are a lot more flexible. They're very
family minded. They spend a lot more time together. You
have to think about what would be the potential feelings
of George if he was traveling separately. In fact, a
(37:15):
former Royal pilot has talked about how the rest of
the family, Diana, Charles and Harry would go on one
flight and William would be on a second.
Speaker 12 (37:24):
Fight.
Speaker 11 (37:25):
You have to think about how might that impact on George.
So I think they would think about it very strategically.
Instead of it being George on one flight, it might
be Mum and George on one and you know, William
and the other two kids on the other. But it
isn't obviously something that other families don't have to think
about because the law of succession. You know, if you
wipe out one whole family, goodness, you know, obviously that
would be an absolute tragedy.
Speaker 12 (37:46):
But then where does it fall to you?
Speaker 11 (37:47):
This is why you have fifth six, you have Harry
and Beatrice, and you know a long line of succession.
But look, he's only twelve, and I just think try
to keep these children as young as they can for
as long as they can.
Speaker 5 (37:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (38:00):
Now, Family Guy has taken aim at Harry and Meghan.
In its most recent episode, they suggest that their marriage
wasn't a great moment in history.
Speaker 5 (38:08):
Take a look at this, Brian.
Speaker 4 (38:10):
This is a terrible idea. We could change the course
of history.
Speaker 7 (38:13):
You always say that, but doesn't history pretty much suck?
I mean the crusades, Hitler, Prince.
Speaker 13 (38:18):
Harry marrying Meghan Michael again, Oh, like all of your
wives are so much better.
Speaker 2 (38:26):
It's not the first time that Family Guy has mocked
Harry and Meghan. I think that last scene at the
end with Prince Harry was quite funny.
Speaker 5 (38:32):
What did you think of it?
Speaker 11 (38:33):
Look, I think it's really interesting because of course South
Park did that other one with the worldwide privacy to it.
Speaker 12 (38:39):
They are always right for pillaring, aren't they.
Speaker 11 (38:41):
And I think the interesting point here is that we
don't see this happening to Kiton William, We don't see
it happen to any other We don't.
Speaker 12 (38:47):
See it happening to the King and Queen.
Speaker 11 (38:49):
The reason is, and this is what Harry and Meghan
should have thought about at the time, is that you
are protected when you're in the royal family, not just
because you're within it, but because people acknowledge that you
you have been born into this and that you are
at the forefront of service. So there is a natural
respect there this the fact that they're on these TV
shows is a consequence of them choosing to step away. Now,
(39:12):
they could have chosen to step away quietly and not
spoken up, and I don't think they would have had
this kind of treatment.
Speaker 5 (39:18):
The fact is.
Speaker 11 (39:19):
That they chose to step away, to talk endlessly about
the royal family, to really share that dirty laundry, and
now it's coming back to bite them. And we know
that Netflix is announced its top three hundred programs and
Meghan's program was not in it.
Speaker 12 (39:36):
She is not popular. And if you don't have that
popularity and you.
Speaker 11 (39:39):
Don't really have that connection to the royal family, what
do you have?
Speaker 12 (39:43):
What do you stand for? What's your purpose? You don't
want that to be happening to you.
Speaker 5 (39:48):
No, very well said.
Speaker 2 (39:49):
Look, finally, I want to talk about the Beckham's football legend.
David Beckham appears to have stuffed a grooming mishap when
he was attempting a DIY buzz cut that went spectacularly wrong.
Speaker 5 (40:00):
I shared a bit of it with the world.
Speaker 4 (40:02):
What have you done? What have you done? The thing
of the clippers fell off my head? What have you done?
It's not funny? Let me see, Let me see. I
mean the hours of content that the kids have got
(40:23):
from Miss the clipper head fell off. It does not
look good. I'm going to always be honest with you.
It looks terrible.
Speaker 2 (40:33):
I think that's my favorite part, hearing Victoria say it
does not look good.
Speaker 5 (40:37):
I will always be honest with you. I know.
Speaker 11 (40:39):
I think these two do celebrity better than anyone. I
could watch hours and hours of them. I love the
Beckham documentary. I could do another twelve hours of the
Beckham documentary. There is something about them that's really real.
This is something that would happen at anyone else's house, right,
And I love David Beckham's whole tone. He's so he's
so every man, and yet we all mya him. And look,
(41:01):
you know, their family has had lots of challenges with
Brooklyn moving away, but there's something they just get it.
Speaker 12 (41:07):
They get how to do social media.
Speaker 11 (41:09):
And they get how to be themselves. And I find
that really are I just find it really beguiling. I
would watch anything with that data. They are talent and
they will be talent forevermore and I love it more.
Speaker 12 (41:22):
Bring it on, make more mistakes.
Speaker 2 (41:24):
