Speaker 1 (00:02):
This is Power Hour with Gabriella Power.

Speaker 2 (00:07):
Hello and welcome to Power Hour. I'm Gabriella Power. Thank
you for your company. We have a massive show for
you today. But first let's get into media meltdowns.

Speaker 3 (00:22):
Well, we all know.

Speaker 2 (00:23):
How much the mainstream media just loves and respects the
man responsible for setting up and leading Dog True.

Speaker 3 (00:29):
For the past one.

Speaker 2 (00:30):
Hundred and thirty four days, has been working for the
US government for free, as well as juggling several billion
dollar companies to identify and cut fraud, waste, and abuse.
Elon Musk the man that Americans should be so grateful for.
But we know Elon has had a target on his
back from the moment that he endorsed Donald Trump. We

(00:51):
saw this at the start of the year when the
leftist media went into meltdown for the arm movement that
he made during Trump's inauguration. Now, it was probably a
stupid move to make, but the mainstream media leaped to
the conclusion that this is proof that Elon Musk is
an evil Nazi after all. Here is MSNBC's a Rachel

(01:11):
Matow looking like she's about to cry as she insists
that that gesture added a blood curdling chill to an
inauguration day.

Speaker 1 (01:20):
This is him today twice throwing something that looks like
what is politely called the Roman salute at the Hockey
Arena in Washington before Trump's appearance there tonight. And maybe
this is not what he meant when he did it.
Who among us knows what is in the hearts of men?
Mister Musk has not yet commented on what he was

(01:41):
doing here, but the Roman salute is a thing, and
that is what it looks like Elon Musk was doing,
which added a nice blood curdling chill to the day
for many people today.

Speaker 3 (01:54):
But we know it wasn't just a Rachel Matdow.

Speaker 2 (01:56):
It was essentially every left wing media outlet that you
can declaring that Elon Musk made a Nazi style salute.
We saw that in the Telegraphs headline, we saw it
in the Guardian, and we saw it in Time magazine.
So when Democrat Senator Corey Booker made it the same gesture,
surely would be getting the same reaction from the same commentators,

(02:18):
the same sort of outrage. Anything on MSNBC, CNN, New
York Times, Crickets. Nothing to see here, and let's just
compare the vision. This hypocrisy is being called out all
over X. When Elon does this gesture, he's a Nazi,
but when it's a Democrat, well, he must be making
a heartfelt, patriotic rather salute. Now. Journalist Keith Oldman insists

(02:43):
that there is no hypocrisy and the media must have
been right about Elon all along, because Elon has his
fingers together and Booker doesn't. Yep, you cannot make this
stuff up. So MSNBC, we know, didn't even cover Booker's gesture,
and it's probably because there's a busy continuing their campaign
against Elon. According to MSNBC, he departs those with a

(03:07):
horrific legacy. So to save tax pay is one hundred
and seventy billion dollars so far, So horrific is an
interesting choice of words. And here is MSNBC's Joe Scarborough
insisting that Elon is desperately trying to distance himself from Trump.

Speaker 4 (03:24):
Understand the complicated ways of Silicon Valley in Washington, d C.
But I do understand that Elon Musk is desperately trying
as suddenly as he can, but as clearly as he can,
to separate himself from the work that he did over
the past four or five months that savaged his reputation

(03:46):
in the business world and is hurt Tesla and you
can see it there. Oh, I'm not going to get specific,
but but I don't agree with everything they're doing, not
nod wing.

Speaker 2 (04:01):
These hosts are just so happy to see Elon step
back from leading DOGE, probably because they don't want.

Speaker 3 (04:06):
It to work.

Speaker 2 (04:07):
They would rather the fraud and waste continue. But even
MSNBC's reporter had to clarify that there's actually no bad
blood between Donald Trump and Elon Musk, despite how much
the mainstream media was really hoping that they would be.

Speaker 1 (04:22):
I'm told that Musk in Trump there is personal fondness there.

Speaker 5 (04:25):
There has not been the falling out that so many
people expected. The two men do get along.

Speaker 2 (04:31):
That must have been tough to say out loud because
it's not part of the narrative. But despite all the
media's attacks against Elon Musk and against DOGE, DOGE is
not going anywhere and it's only getting stronger.

Speaker 6 (04:44):
This is not the end of DOGE, but really the beginning.
My time as a special governor point necessarily had to end.
It was a limited time thing. It's one hundred and
thirty four days of wee whish as in a few days,
so so.

Speaker 7 (04:57):
That you know, it comes to the tail of it.

Speaker 6 (05:01):
But the Doge team will only grow stronger of.

Speaker 7 (05:03):
Time, the Doge influence will only grow stronger.

Speaker 6 (05:06):
It's i'd liken it to a sort of Buddhism. It's
like a way of life. So it is permeating throughout
the government, and I'm confident that over time we'll see
a trillion dollars of savings and a reduction in a
trillion dollars of waste of plow production.

Speaker 2 (05:25):
Joining us now is media consultant at Maha Pac Caitlyn Sinclair. Caitlin,
thank you so much for joining us on Power Hour.
I mean, the leftist media have been exposed again for
the hypocrisy. All these outlets called Elon Musk a Nazi
or claim that he was doing a Nazi salut.

Speaker 3 (05:42):
But now a.

Speaker 2 (05:43):
Democrat, Senator Corey Brooker, has been caught out doing the
exact same thing, and we hear nothing.

Speaker 3 (05:49):
Are you surprised, No, not at all.

Speaker 8 (05:51):
The hypocrisy was put on full display last year during
the twenty twenty four election.

Speaker 9 (05:56):
During the campaign, and here's the truth.

Speaker 8 (05:59):
Neither el nor Corey Booker, who is the Democrat that
was being accused of the Nazi salute, Neither of them
are Nazis.

Speaker 9 (06:06):
And that is not what this story is really about.
To me.

Speaker 8 (06:09):
The story is really about the hypocrisy with the media
refuses to touch on, which is the blatant and exhausting
double standard that exists for conservatives versus Democrats. Of course,
when someone like Elon Musk even so slightly said that
he was maga or supporting the conservative movement, they launched
an entire campaign against him. But when a Democrat does

(06:29):
something that would have destroyed somebody on the right, they
look the other way. So the story is about not
about defending a gesture. It's about exposing this rigged game,
exposing this hypocritical machine. It's about how broken and bias
the narratives have become, and the American people are quite
frankly fed up, and that's why we saw the results

(06:51):
we got on November fifth.

Speaker 2 (06:53):
Absolutely, and the more you pay attention to it, the
more you see it. This is just another example. And
if it's not the left wing media that's campaigning clearly.

Speaker 3 (07:01):
Against Trump, against.

Speaker 2 (07:02):
RFK Junior or Elon Musk, you can always count on
celebrities to try and do that. This time, rockstar Bono
has made a complete full of himself going on the
Joe Rogan podcast claiming that three hundred thousand people have
died because of USAID cuts, all because of Doge.

Speaker 3 (07:19):
Now, Joe Rogan politely reminded him.

Speaker 2 (07:21):
That Doge expode exposed.

Speaker 3 (07:24):
Rather USAID for money laundering. Take a listen.

Speaker 10 (07:28):
Fifty thousand tons of food that are stored in Djibouti,
South Africa, Dubai and wait for it, Houston, Texas, and
that is a rotting rather than going to Gaza, rather
than going to Sudan.

Speaker 5 (07:45):
For sure, there have been a lot of organizations that
do tremendous good all throughout the world. Also, for sure,
it was a money laundering operation. For sure, there was
no oversight. For sure, billions of dollars of mess. In fact,
trillions that are unaccounted for that were sent off into
various they don't even know where because there's no receipts.

(08:10):
The way Elon must describe that, he said, if any
of this was done by a public company, the company
would be delisted and the executives would be in prison.

Speaker 2 (08:19):
Yeah, and Elon Musk also weighed in, posting on Exit
Bono is a liar and an idiot, and zero people
have died. It seems that Bono got this figure from
a speculative model built by Brooke Nichols, a mathematical rather
health modeler at Boston University, projecting what could happen as
a result of the cuts. But Caitlin, what do you
make of this round on the Joe Rogan podcast.

Speaker 8 (08:42):
I mean, this claim claiming three hundred thousand people died
from USAID the cuts is just irresponsible. But Joe Rogan
is right. This was a money laundering mess with zero oversight,
and that is exactly why we had a disruptor like
Elon Musk going in the first place.

Speaker 9 (09:00):
Bono's not fighting poverty.

Speaker 8 (09:02):
He is fighting for his narrative, his stop stories, just
to cover up for this corruption. We see this all
the time from Hollywood all the time, from these very
privileged people on the left. Donald Trump and Elon Musk
are investigating the corruption. They're exposing the rot and he
can't handle that. A lot of the hollyweired people can't
handle that, you know. I'll give Joe Rogan a lot

(09:23):
of credit though, because it really struck me. Rogan's superpowers
here were on full display. As a journalist, you can
relate to this letting a liberal, letting a guest come
on your show and dispewing lies and actually sitting there
letting the hollyweired liberals say his piece, no matter how
baseless and ridiculous it is, and then he actually just

(09:44):
sat there. I would have interrupted. So kudos to Joe
Rogan there.

Speaker 2 (09:48):
Absolutely full credit to Joe Rogan, and very embarrassing Covonor
that clip has now gone viral and it's not the
way he would have liked. He probably should have been
paying more attention to the work that Elon is actually doing.
And Doge is here to stay. But you know, more
media outrage or media madness, I should say. Treasury Treasury
Secretary Scott Bessett has called out CBS News host Margaret Brennan.

(10:14):
She was trying to challenge him to respond to concerns
about again what could happen in the future as a
result of the tariffs, and he was quick to remind
her that her kind of alarmist alarmist I should say,
predictions have been very wrong in the past. The reality
is there will either be less inventory or things at
higher prices.

Speaker 11 (10:34):
When we were here in marriage, he said there was
going to be big inflation. There hasn't been any inflation. Actually,
the inflation numbers are the best in four years. So
why don't we stop trying to say this could happen
and wait and see what does happen?

Speaker 2 (10:49):
Ouch And he was referring to the latest results at
show inflation fell to two point three percent in April,
the lowest level in more than four years.

Speaker 9 (10:56):
Caitlin, Yes, lies and activity, that's all they have. That's
all they have to go on.

Speaker 8 (11:02):
And I think they were having such bad Trump derangement syndrome,
and now it's almost like they're having Trump withdraw. They
constantly need to talk about what he's doing wrong, make
things up. And for years we had to listen to
the media tell Americans to live with this fantasy of
Biden nomics doing well, being something for all Americans, promising

(11:22):
us that inflation was transitory, that reckless spending was actually
a good thing for our pockets. And now the economy
is in great shape and families can actually put food
on the table or have a chance of that. They're
scrambling to explain why Donald Trump's return to America First
policies is actually working, why tough tariffs and energy dominance

(11:43):
and smart deregulation is actually working.

Speaker 9 (11:47):
They're struggling.

Speaker 8 (11:48):
They have nothing else to run on, nothing else to
spew except lies and negativity.

Speaker 9 (11:52):
Inflation is failing because we're.

Speaker 8 (11:55):
Putting our country first. And that is exactly what Donald
Trump promised the American people.

Speaker 2 (11:59):
Yeah, and they have failing to recover the good news.
But failed vice presidential candidate Tim Waltz has shared his
words of wisdom. That's one way of putting it, because
he can't seem to come up with anything original, so
he of course rehashes this narrative that, of course Trump
is a dictator and tells his audience that they should
step up and bully the s out of him.

Speaker 12 (12:21):
Called that on this because I called Donald Trump I
wanna be dictator.

Speaker 3 (12:25):
It's because he is.

Speaker 5 (12:27):
It's because he is.

Speaker 12 (12:29):
Oh, the governor's being mean, and the governor's speaking out
on that. Well, maybe it's time for us to be
a little meaner. Maybe it's time for us to be
a little more fierce. You bully the kid out of
him back, you push back. You make sure they know
it's not there.

Speaker 2 (12:48):
Caylen, I can't even watch him. You know, I thought
it was bad during the election campaign. It appears he
kind he is maybe even getting worse, you know, his
kind of message now that the Democrat Party should be
getting meaner, his best struggling so much at the moment.

Speaker 3 (13:02):
Is that going to help them?

Speaker 9 (13:05):
It's not going to help them that they're struggling.

Speaker 8 (13:07):
They have no message, they have no real leader, They
actually have nothing. So they're resorting to the message of bullying,
bullying because they cannot argue against a factual debate bullying
because they have no leader, they have no message, they
have nothing to run on. The Democratic Party is so
lost right now. But my question for timpom Timmy over
there is what men is he actually encouraging to go

(13:29):
out and be mean to Donald Trump and bully Donald Trump.
Because I'm pretty sure Donald Trump won in droves when
it came to young men, millennial men, older men.

Speaker 7 (13:40):
Helpa men.

Speaker 9 (13:41):
So if he's speaking to.

Speaker 8 (13:42):
The beta males, I don't know how strong they're going
to be at going to bully someone like Donald Trump
and the truth.

Speaker 9 (13:49):
So I wish them luck there.

Speaker 3 (13:50):
Yeah, good luck to them.

Speaker 2 (13:51):
Now, I want to talk to you about health because
Rfkjuna I met with Auditana's President Javier Malay, and both
ladies reafformed their plans to win withdrawal from the World
Health Organization. RFK Junior posted an image of the two
leaders with the message, I had a wonderful meeting with
Argentina's President Malay about our nation's mutual withdrawal from the
WHO and the creation of an alternative international health system

(14:15):
based on gold standard science and free from totalitarian impulses,
corruption and political control.

Speaker 3 (14:24):
And malays government also.

Speaker 2 (14:26):
Blasted the WHO for what it called a failed COVID response.
It's not wrong there and claims that they're not based
on science but on political interests and bureaucratic structures that
refuse to review their own mistakes.

Speaker 3 (14:39):
Now, the US is scheduled.

Speaker 2 (14:41):
To officially withdrawal from the World Health Organization in January
next year, but talk to us about this alternative health
system that RFK Junior mentions. It's obviously in its formative stages,
but what's it going to look like?

Speaker 9 (14:55):
I think what it's going to look like is what
so many Americans have been longing for right American people
have been asking the question for some time now, what
is the WAH Show anymore?

Speaker 8 (15:05):
It quite frankly, URFCN Junior exposed, this is a bloated,
out of touch bureaucracy that pushed endless lockdowns over our people,
lockdowns over real science, and funneled billions of dollars into
their political agendas, into their back pockets for personal and
political gains. So the real scandal here is our taxpayer

(15:26):
dollars were funding all of that wrecking economies with zero accountability.
And take Argentina for example, four hundred plus days lockdown,
small businesses crushed, freedom destroyed, striped from the American people.

Speaker 9 (15:40):
Any of their rights were stript away. This was all
under the wh Show's watchful eye.

Speaker 8 (15:46):
So I think this new alternative is going to hold
these global health elites to the tasks they've hid behind
closed doors for too many years. The American people and
the younger generations finally asking the right questions. They're asking
about the food they're putting into their bodies. They're asking
about what they're feeding their kids. They're asking about the
supplement and the formonal birth control that they're taking. It's

(16:09):
time to tear down this broken system, build one by
one back, transparency, fact, common sense, all of these building
blocks and the political games have to stop.

Speaker 13 (16:20):
RK.

Speaker 8 (16:21):
Junior is the perfect leader for this. So I'm really
excited about this announcement.

Speaker 3 (16:24):
Yeah, certainly an exciting time.

Speaker 2 (16:26):
So talk to us about this update you have on
the MAHA movement. The American Values Pack has announced that
it is rebranding to Maha Pack.

Speaker 3 (16:34):
What's this all about?

Speaker 7 (16:37):
That's right.

Speaker 8 (16:38):
So we have been on the front lines of our
Cade Juniors or revolutionary movement right from the start, right
from the very beginning. And now look at all the
beautiful force as we have in this movement, the true
unity Party, combining Maha, combining the Maga world.

Speaker 9 (16:54):
This movement is for everyone. It's for the young moms.

Speaker 8 (16:56):
It's for the struggling parents that don't quite know anything
about about the health movement. They're just starting to ask questions. Now,
the MAHA movement swung.

Speaker 9 (17:05):
The twenty twenty four election. We all know that swung
it to President Trump.

Speaker 8 (17:09):
Now we at the MAHA Pack are now committed to
swinging the twenty twenty six mid terms two Republicans who
will help advance this agenda. We need to help push
forward all of Kennedy's promises for the Maha agenda. So
the twenty four campaign, for all your viewers out there,
was just the beginning today and moving forward is where

(17:29):
the true Maha revolution begins.

Speaker 9 (17:32):
So again, so excited for this announcement. A lot in
store and I hope your viewers come with us.

Speaker 2 (17:37):
Kaitlin, congratulations. I can't wait to say what this goes.
And you'll have to keep us updated in the coming months,
then and years ahead, as this is just a movement,
as you say. But Kaiteln Skincla, thank you so much
for joining us on pal Alla.

Speaker 3 (17:53):
Thank you.

Speaker 2 (17:57):
Joining us now from Phoenix, Arizona is broadcast and commentator
Josh Bernstein.

Speaker 3 (18:01):
Josh, thank you for joining us on Power Hour.

Speaker 2 (18:04):
I want to start with the horrific anti Semitic terror
attack against peaceful Jewish protesters that took place in Boulder, Colorado.
At least a dozen people were injured, including a Holocaust survivor.
The suspect has been named as Mohammed Solomon, and he
was allegedly setting people on fire and was heard shouting
and Zionists, they are terrorists.

Speaker 14 (18:26):
We're early in the investigation, but some details have emerged.
I'm able to confirm there are six victims pages sixty
seven to eighty eight. All of them have been transported
to local hospitals. This attack happened at a regularly scheduled
weekly peaceful event. Witnesses are reporting that the subject used

(18:48):
a makeshift flamethrower and threw an incendiary device into the crowd.
The suspect was heard to yell Free Palestine during the attack.

Speaker 2 (19:00):
And we're learning more about the suspect, Mohammed Solomon. He
was an Egyptian illegal that entered the United States during
the Biden administration. Now he's been charged with attempted murder,
assaulved and a hate crime, and he could be spending
the rest of his life in prison. Now this comes
not long after the anti Semitic attack in Washington, d C.
Where two young people were killed. This is just horrific,

(19:24):
It absolutely is.

Speaker 7 (19:25):
And look me, being a Jewish American, you know, it's
a terrible, terrible thing that's happening. You know, in America,
three percent of the population is Jewish, yet almost fifty
five percent of all heat crimes are done against Jewish people.
So it's a real problem. It's a problem that's getting

(19:47):
out of hand. And look, I think it stems from
the colleges. Look, if you're going to go on a
college campus and you're going to scream into fighter, into fighter,
bring it to America, and not only have the students
do it, but so have the professors and the faculty
do it. That's not freedom of speech. That is a crime.
You're literally calling for, you know, jihad against your own

(20:10):
government and your own people. So between the media, between
the Democratic Party, between these college campuses, this has to stop.
You know, there's been a huge increase in Jewish Americans
that are now exercising their Second Amendment rights to protect
themselves because again, it's just a terrible travesty, and it

(20:33):
keeps happening. And I think the reason it's happening is
because of the influences out there that are you know,
fanning the flames of racism and hatred.

Speaker 3 (20:43):
And you mentioned the media.

Speaker 2 (20:45):
Is the media covering this terror attack fairly? Is it
getting the coverage that it deserves in the same way
that any other terror attack would.

Speaker 7 (20:55):
Not necessarily, you know, they're calling it an event, or
they're calling it you know, or you know what one
I think I heard one newscaster say that it was
an incident. Well, no, it's a lot more than an incident.
Innocent people have been burned, you know, while alive, and

(21:15):
this crazed you know person is running around with molotov
cocktails and sprang fire on people that you know, we're
in a peaceful demonstration to basically, you know, push for
the release of Hamas' hostages. So it's almost ironic when
you think about it. You know, as far as you
know what they were looking to do, they were peaceful obviously,

(21:37):
and this Solomon character certainly was not. But again, overstate
his visa. It was up in twenty twenty three. He
was supposed to report, he didn't report, He stayed and
then he I guess even asked for more asylum. And
then you know, this is the result of this. So
it's it's just a sad situation. And when the Democrat Party,

(22:00):
when the media, when the colleges, when the universities finally
step up and say enough is enough, then we'll see
much less of these types of attacks.

Speaker 3 (22:10):
Absolutely.

Speaker 2 (22:11):
I want to talk to you about the scenes out
of Paris this WEE weekend rather where two people were killed,
hundreds of people were injured during what was supposed to
be a nationwide celebration in Paris following PSG's victory.

Speaker 3 (22:23):
In the Champions League final. This is what unfolded.

Speaker 2 (22:58):
Now that is not the type of chaos that you
would ever typically see during a football celebration.

Speaker 3 (23:04):
Now it's being.

Speaker 2 (23:04):
Suggested that this comes as France faces significant challenges with immigration.
There are also reports and vision of the riots where
people are waiving the Palestinian flag and chanting f Israel
other anti Semitic language as cars were firebombed.

Speaker 3 (23:19):
Really disturbing to see. What do you make of all
of this?

Speaker 7 (23:24):
Well, first and foremost, let's correct one thing that the
media has not been getting accurate. They say that this
riot or this violence was a direct result of this
PGS whatever it is, Championship soccer tournament, but it's really not,
because it actually started two hours earlier at the Seans. Else,

(23:48):
did I pronounce that correctly perfectly?

Speaker 3 (23:50):
Yeah?

Speaker 7 (23:50):
French too much, but hopefully I did okay on that one.
But it started about two hours beforehand. There was reports
of violence and rioting two hours beforehand, and then of
course it got really really bad during the match, and
then after the match, and then of course into Saturday night,
late into Sunday, and it's just unbelievable. You know, you

(24:11):
have to look at the root cause here, and I
think the root cause, honestly was again a lot of
these people, a lot of these foreigners and immigrants coming
into France. You know, you've got about nine million of
these immigrants that have come into the country in the
last you know, fifteen twenty years or so. And when

(24:31):
you have this unfettered immigration, these are some of the
results of it. And so I don't necessarily see this
one hundred percent as just a reaction to a to
a soccer game or a tournament. I see this as
a much bigger problem, and that problem is the fact
that when you have open borders, as we had for

(24:52):
four years in the United States of America that thankfully
are now being closed, these are some of the results.
And in reality, a lot of folks come into countries
they don't want to assimilate. And I've said this before
many times. Immigration without assimilation is an invasion, and these
people need to be able to assimilate to the French

(25:13):
way of life, or to the American way of life,
or the German way of life or whatever it may be,
and you know, go and embrace that new country, come
in legally, come in the right way, and contribute to society.
But when you have no go zones in most of
European capitals and big cities and things like that, these
are some of the reactions that you get.

Speaker 3 (25:34):
Yeah, it's a very fair point.

Speaker 2 (25:36):
I'm going to talk to you about what's going on
in the US at the moment and the politics there,
and particularly the Democrats, because they're still all over the
place and there are even calls for Jasmine Crockett to
lead the Democratic Party.

Speaker 3 (25:48):
Now.

Speaker 2 (25:49):
She's spoken out claiming that Republicans approach her pretty often
is to tell her how much they like her.

Speaker 3 (25:54):
Listen to this.

Speaker 15 (25:56):
Republicans poll all the time, and I have no idea
what all is happening in their polling, but I can
tell you in real life that I've had a number
of Republicans that approach me as they see me out
and they say, hey, I just wanted to let you
know that I really like you. Like we come from
completely different parties, but I believe that you were fighting
for the people. I believe that you were trying to

(26:18):
do what's best for all of us. I may disagree
with how you feel like we get there, but I
agree with your fight, and I think that that's what's
scary for them, is this idea that it's not just
say black folk that are listening to me, Josh.

Speaker 2 (26:33):
When I first heard this, I thought, oh, she's probably
not really telling the truth. And then I thought about it,
and maybe this is a strategy. Republicans are encouraging her,
saying keep going, that would be perfect for us, and
they would keep telling Jasmine Crockett just how much they
like a.

Speaker 7 (26:49):
Jasmine Crockett is a loathsful human being. This is someone
that made fun of the Texas governor, calling him Governor
hot Wheels. This is also someone that should be investigated
for crimes because she actually was part of the Tesla takedown.
She even said during that time that, oh, all she

(27:09):
wants for her birthday is a quote Tesla takedown. There's
video of her on Zoom calls talking and strategizing about this.
It's terrible, But here's what I would say to Jasmine Crockett.
Prove it. How many Americans out there that are going
to see this broadcast will come forward and say that
are Republicans that, yes, I support Jasmine Crockett. I don't

(27:31):
believe it at all, and I think most people don't
believe this at all. You're possibly correct, and the fact
that maybe they're trying to push this so that she
becomes the nominee so that she would be easier to beat,
which I certainly agree that she would. But again, I
don't believe Republicans are lining up, as she wants to say,
and secretly supporting her or a possible candidacy.

Speaker 2 (27:53):
Yeah, a bit of fake news from a Democrat who
would be surprised. But looking at the Democrats, a strategy
is still all over the place. In your opinion, who
should be the latter?

Speaker 7 (28:05):
Oh goodness, Ham Sandwich at this point. Look, I don't
even want to even go that route because I would
hate to say that, hey, this would be the good person.
But I would say if I was to put a
name out there that has some resemblance of sanity, it
would certainly be the sportscaster gentleman, the African American gentleman,

(28:26):
Stephen Austin, I think his name is, who does ESPN Sports.
At least he's able to understand that the Democrat Party
has a major issue and the problem is that they're
too extreme and they're too radical, and they're you know,
they don't adhere to the Constitution, they don't believe in
our founding principles and values. And so when you put

(28:47):
all that together, who do they have. I mean, they're
going to have Bernie Sanders. I don't think that's going
to work, right, So I don't think he's going to
be there. Honestly, I don't even think Josh Shapiro because sadly,
I think the party is too anti Semitic to even
put someone up who is Jewish. So who else could
it be? I don't think it's going to be Gruesome

(29:08):
Newsom or Gavin Newsom. I like to call him the
Ted Bundy of politicians. He's very suave and smooth and
well dressed. But you know, I just don't see that
they have anyone really right now on the bench. And
I guess that's good for Republicans.

Speaker 2 (29:24):
Yeah, look, I agree with that assessment. Let's talk about
the tariffs. The tariff deadline is looming, and Reuters is
reporting today that the Trump administration wants countries to put
their best offer forward by Wednesday, as officials want to
accelerate talks with multiple partners ahead of the tariff deadline. Now,
Trump is also posted today. If other countries are allowed

(29:44):
to use tariffs and we're not allowed to counter, our
country doesn't have a chance of economic survival. So what
are you expecting that we'll see by Wednesday?

Speaker 7 (29:54):
Well, I think that we're going to see a whole
bunch of countries come forward and work out some trade
and gosh ciation deals. But let's take this a little
bit further. The Supreme Court is going to do the
right thing here because the President, through the executive authority
invested in him, has the right to negotiate trade deals.
So I don't care what this International Trade Organization, this

(30:15):
little powerless little thing in New York City, that jumped
in and tried to stop him. Of course, that was
immediately stayed when it was appealed the decision. But in
the long run, remember this, the President has multiple opportunities
and tools at his disposal in order to facilitate trade negotiations.

(30:36):
So I'm not worried about it. I think that he's
going to be able to pull this off, and he'll
be able to have as many trade or deals as
he would like.

Speaker 2 (30:45):
Yeah, it'll be interesting to see what happens. I'm pretty
confident that we are going to be seeing countries absolutely
putting their best offer forward and presenting a pretty good
offer for Donald Trump. But we will say, I want
to finally speak to you about or we did about
the media in the United States, But it seems like
there's still a bit of fake news around. The Washington
Post has a piece out this week with the headline

(31:07):
the mysterious drop in fentanyl stages on the US Mexico border.
I mean, is anyone going to tell them? Who's going
to tell them what? And who's behind this mysterious drop?

Speaker 7 (31:19):
Yeah, I'll pull the JOJ Biden. The border's closed. The
border is closed, Okay, that's why you're having this happen. Look,
the Department of Justice and the FBI have been doing
amazing work busting fentanyl organizations and cartels and doing everything
that they can to make our streets and our city

(31:40):
safer and to save lives. That's what this is all about.
And so I think with that, and of course shutting
down the border, getting rid of tps, getting rid of
all these other things that the prior Auto pen administration
as I like to call it now, has been doing
I think it's a one eighty. President Trump ran on
securing the border, and of course, promises made, promises capped.

Speaker 2 (32:03):
And the White House has unveiled a new portrait of
President Donald Trump. Let's bring up the image if we can.
I know he still looks pretty fierce in the picture there.
It is a little bit different to the one that
was put up during his inauguration. But Josh, can I
get your reaction to it.

Speaker 7 (32:19):
I like it, but for my money, I want the
fist in the air and the fight tight. Yeah. I
think that's so representative of President Trump of America, of
this new resurgence in patriotism, and of course the oncoming
Golden Age, which will start probably in my estimation, around

(32:39):
mid November of this year, but watch out January February
of twenty twenty six, America's economy will be the greatest
in history, fourteen trillion dollars worth of investment coming in.
I can't wait.

Speaker 2 (32:52):
Broadcaster and commentator Josh Benstein, thank you so much for
joining us on Power.

Speaker 3 (32:56):
Our great to speak with you.

Speaker 7 (32:58):
Thank you anytime, any time.

Speaker 3 (33:04):
Now.

Speaker 2 (33:04):
For all the royals and entertainment news, We're joined by
News Corp columnist Louise Roberts.

Speaker 3 (33:09):
Louise, thank you for joining us.

Speaker 13 (33:10):
Good to see as always, Cabri love.

Speaker 2 (33:11):
So just when we thought that we've kind of heard
everything from Megan Markles Netflix series, there's more content we
haven't heard at all. Meghan has shared a deleted scene
that never made the cut, and we'll find out why
from her series With love from Meghan, Let's take a
look trick.

Speaker 3 (33:27):
That people do with pineapple. Instead of just cutting it to.

Speaker 10 (33:30):
Make the perfect little bit, you follow the wedge when
nature has given you all the cues on how to
have a perfect taste of something.

Speaker 8 (33:38):
Fine is that and love it seas hm hmmm, oh right,
is it going to work?

Speaker 4 (33:44):
My good?

Speaker 9 (33:44):
It's great?

Speaker 2 (33:46):
And we wonder why I didn't make the cut, But
then so many other scenes managed to make the cut
that we kind.

Speaker 7 (33:51):
Of just like that.

Speaker 16 (33:52):
Yes, I noticed the flower scenes certainly did make the cut,
But actually I thought it was quite an interesting tip.
I've never thought about cutting pineapple in that way. You
did very sharp knife, but look she's been castigaded for
of course people are saying, oh wow, it's just a
home economics lesson with a very expensive price tag to it.
So I think I will keep cup and cutting Pineapple
the same way or getting out of maybe like everyone

(34:14):
else does in the meantime. But look, that could be
other scenes out there which are going to be rolled out,
because of course it's not broadcasting anymore so and she
wants to keep herself relevant, so she'll probably keep dropping
little vignettes like this for a few weeks to come.

Speaker 2 (34:28):
Or stand by just if you have had enough, maybe
maybe you don't call her anymore, otherwise that she will
be rolling out more deleted scenes. But Prince Harry is
reportedly considering dropping his royal surname in favor of Spencer,
the maiden name of his late mother, Princess Diana. Now
this of course comes as tensions with his family continue
to escalate, and sources told The Daily Mail that Harry

(34:50):
has actively explored ways to be able to assume his
mother's surname, and he even apparently discussed the issue with
his uncle. What more can you tell us about this?

Speaker 16 (34:59):
It was interesting he reached out to Charles Spencer, of
course is Diana's brother. So I was actually pleased to
see that he's legitimately getting some advice from some you know,
established family members who have his.

Speaker 13 (35:10):
Best interests at Harp perhaps unlike other people.

Speaker 16 (35:13):
But yes, Harry wanted to change his name to Spencer,
but fortunately Charles, his uncle, talked him out of and
said logistically it'd be too tricky and what about the children.
And also his actual surname, Harry is Mount Batton Windsor,
which of course is a nod to his grandparents, the
Mount Batten and the Windsor being Elizabeth's name of.

Speaker 13 (35:31):
Course, the late queen.

Speaker 16 (35:33):
So for him to change it I think would just
be fatuous at the least. But also, you know, again,
Meghan has made a point of saying that her name
is no longer Markle, It's Sussex, which it's not. It's
Mount Baton Windsor. So it's all getting very complicated. I
think in that family they should just stick to their
actual name, which is Mount Baton Windsor. And you can't

(35:54):
sort of wipe away all the mess and the family
trauma just by changing your name, like as a Twitter
and absolutely not.

Speaker 3 (36:00):
And it's interesting you bring that up about Meghan.

Speaker 2 (36:02):
She absolutely is that in her Netflix series, pretending that
her last name was Sussex, and that's.

Speaker 3 (36:07):
Not actually no correct.

Speaker 2 (36:08):
So I'm surprised that she didn't want Harry to maybe
take her last name.

Speaker 3 (36:11):
I feel like that's something she would do, but.

Speaker 16 (36:13):
Yes, that would be more on brand for Megan. Definitely
take my name, Harry.

Speaker 2 (36:16):
Yes, And now there's been an update on King Charles's health,
I believe a senior royal aide told us People magazine
that the King is successfully continuing to manage his cancer.

Speaker 3 (36:27):
What more was said, Well, this is great news, isn't it.

Speaker 16 (36:29):
And the Royal family do off the record brief a
prestigious publication like People magazine where they want to get
a message out there, so it's obviously come from the
Palace directly. Yes, Charles is managing his treatment and his
illness quite effectively, we're told, which is great news because
there was an incident earlier this year where he was
hospitalized during the treatment and people obviously very concerned giving

(36:53):
his age and given his relatively short tenure in the
job as king, of course, but he's just back from
a very successful two day trip to Canada with Queen Camilla,
where he was received with so much love and affection
and people were just the Canadians were thrilled to bits
to see him, so to hear that his health is
also progressing.

Speaker 13 (37:11):
Well, I think he's fantastic news.

Speaker 2 (37:13):
Absolutely. Let's talk about the Beckhams. Brooklyn Beckham and Nicole
and Nicola rather Pelts have reportedly hired Prince Harry and
Meghan Markle's lawyer to help protect their reputations as their
family feud escalate. So the Son is reporting the Brooklyn
and Nikola have grown close to Harry and Meghan, who've
also apparently fallen out with David and Victoria Beckham, and

(37:34):
now they've instructed the Prince's top lawyer to help with
reputation management. I mean, what more can you tell us
about this one?

Speaker 16 (37:42):
Well, I think this has moved now from gossip to
legal territory. And really it's not even about who's right
in this situation anymore. It's more about who can control
the narrative. And we've got two dynasties. We've got the
Beckham dynasty Britain's second royal family, let's face it, and
we've got the Peltz dynasty in America, and they're both
got vast fortunes and reputations to protect, so things will

(38:04):
if a lawyer is now involved on that side, then
I imagine other legal situations will erupt. And it's interesting
that they've hired Meghan and Harry's lawyer, Jenny Affier say, because.

Speaker 13 (38:15):
It's another message back to Brooklyn's parents.

Speaker 16 (38:17):
You know, you were friends with Harry and Meghan until
the falling out, the accusations overselling stories which are patently untrue.

Speaker 3 (38:24):
And now we've hired their legal.

Speaker 16 (38:26):
Team to defend us and control the narrative. They don't
like what's being said about them, apparently Nikoler and Brooklyn.
But look, at the end of the day, what we're
talking about here is a growing son who's estranged from
his mum.

Speaker 13 (38:38):
And dad, and that's a very sad situation.

Speaker 16 (38:41):
So you know, in my experience, getting lawyers involved in
a celebrity situation doesn't actually fix things.

Speaker 13 (38:48):
All it does is inflame them.

Speaker 2 (38:49):
Yeah, it doesn't appear that thing's going to be repaired
any time. So moving on to another legal drama, let's
talk about Blake Lively and.

Speaker 3 (38:57):
Justin Baldoni's lawsuits.

Speaker 2 (38:59):
So, Blake has dropped her emotional distress claims against Justin
Baldoni after his legal team demanded proof. So, according to
court filings obtained by dailymail dot Com, the actress also
withdrew a second claim to avoid handing over her health
records to Justin Valdoni's lawyers.

Speaker 3 (39:17):
What's the latest here.

Speaker 16 (39:18):
Yes, so she has dropped two claims while intentionally causing
her emotional distress and negligent infliction of emotional distress very
specific terms of course in the US legal system, because.

Speaker 13 (39:31):
His team quite rightly came back and said, well, where's
the proof.

Speaker 16 (39:34):
Yeah, show us the medical proof of your emotional distress. Now, Clearly,
like anyone else, Blake doesn't want her medical records in
court and then in public for everyone to see, so
she has retracted those claims. Of course, Baldoni is still
facing other allegations and other claims from her sexual harassment
being the main one, of course. But what an absolute mess,
and of course, as we were speaking earlier, has totally

(39:56):
imploded her friendship with Taylor Swift, which was the goal
old standard of young female Hollywood friendships, wasn't it right?

Speaker 2 (40:03):
There were BFFs, would see them together everywhere, and now
it's been revealed and reported on that their friendship is
also beyond repair. At this point, they're importantly not speaking
amid all this legal drama. So even though Justin Valdoni
dropped Taylor Swift subpoena because Justin Valdoni essentially dragged Taylor
Swift into his defamation and extortion countersuit against Lively, where

(40:27):
he claimed that Blake Lively leveraged her friendship with Taylor
Swift to try and gain control of their twenty twenty
four film. But apparently there's been radio silence between Taylor
Swift and Blake Lively.

Speaker 16 (40:38):
Yeah, so it was a risky move by Blake, I
think to weaponize her friendship with Taylor in this way
and sort of make out that she was part of
a campaign to control the script narrative.

Speaker 7 (40:49):
I don't know.

Speaker 13 (40:50):
Of course, Taylor's legal team and foundly.

Speaker 16 (40:52):
Came back and said no, she had nothing to do
with anything about the production of this very contentious movie
and obviously contentious laws. So I think Taylor has sort
of gone into self preservation mode and just retracted from
that friendship, which is a tragedy because I don't imagine
Blake has a lot of friends who are willing to
step into the arena and protect her. Now she seems

(41:12):
to be imploding friendships all over the place.

Speaker 3 (41:15):
And it's not looking that good from her for her.

Speaker 2 (41:18):
I should say this stage as more and more evidence
comes out in it as a trial continues.

Speaker 3 (41:23):
But let's talk about the Diddy trial.

Speaker 2 (41:25):
So so many celebrities continue to be name dropped during
this explosive testimony in the Shawn ditty Comb's trial with
Houston's been named, Mike Myers, murrak Kerry, a few a
list stars who came up during the testimony during the
third week of Ditty's sex trafficking and racketeering trial. And
of course they're not accused of any wrongdoing. But where
are we up to with this trial?

Speaker 13 (41:46):
Yes, you make a great point.

Speaker 16 (41:47):
They are accused of no wrongdoing and there's no link
between them and Diddy. But yeah, those names that you've said,
Georgina Chapman and Mike Myers, that the names have come
out more around the witnesses who are now finding themselves
in the witness box being cross examined because they're people
who like at Pa who to Mike Myers for example,
she's one of the witnesses. Another witness was talking about

(42:08):
talent and she said, oh, that person didn't have a
lot of talent, unlike say Mariah care In Whitney Houston,
so their names are straight into the narrative now as well.
So I wondered whether this is maybe part of the
legal strategy on that to sort of pile in as
many big names as possible.

Speaker 13 (42:23):
But you know, my information is that people.

Speaker 16 (42:26):
In Hollywood absolutely terrified about being linked with this case.
I'm now in the Federal court in Manhattan because it's
clearly not a good thing to be associated with, but
really in open court when things that discussed, anyone's name
can be thrown into the mix.

Speaker 3 (42:40):
Yeah. Absolutely.

Speaker 2 (42:41):
