Speaker 1 (00:02):
Its Power Hour with Gabriella Power.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Hello and welcome to Power Hour. I'm Gabriella Power. I
hope you all had an amazing Fourth of July weekend.
I've just returned back home to Australia from one of
the greatest countries on Earth, the US of a and
it was so wonderful to be back spending time in America,
the Land of the Free, a country with so many
opportunities and some of the.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
Friendliest people you could ever meet.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
And I felt so grateful to be over there, especially
for the Fourth of July weekend, seeing so many patriots
who are proud of their country, waiving the American flag,
celebrating with their families, honoring America and all of those
who fought so hard to protect.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
It for generations.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
And I had to take a moment to reflect on
how incredible this moment in time really is, where we
have President Donald Trump fiercely leading America, putting America first.
The cover of the New York Post for the fourth
July reads tired of winning Yet, because that is what
Donald Trump is doing right now. In the space of
just a couple of weeks, he obliterated around nuclear facilities.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
He signed into law his big beautiful bill.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Unemployment numbers are down and wages are up, and America
is so back.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
Let's get into the spirit of it.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
This has to be the best Fourth of July video
going viral.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
I just want to tell you that America, it's the
greatest place, honor, and how's the energy?
Speaker 2 (01:48):
There is no place like the United States of America.
And Donald Trump and First Lady Millennia Trump celebrated Independence
Day at the White House. Trump hosted a special thank
you to the heroic ICE officers fighting for sovereignty and freedom.
But this has to be my favorite moment, the First
Lady busting out Trump's signature dance moves before watching the fireworks.
(02:11):
So how great is that? We love to see it, Millennia.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
So let's just take a look at how proud Americans
are feeling right now.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
A recent Fox News poll found that the largest number
of voters since twenty eleven are proud of their country,
and almost seventy percent of people agree that the US
is the best country in the world to live.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
But it's interesting.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
A pole obtained by The New York Post shows that
there's a big difference when it comes to Republicans and Democrats.
This poll by National Research Inc. Found that ninety one
percent of self identified Republicans call themselves patriots. That's compared
to just fifty percent of Democrats. And I'm not sure
(03:01):
if that is surprising, because there are, of course a
few miserable liberals refusing to wish America a happy Birthday
this past weekend. And these are the people who voted
for Kamala Harris. And her Fourth of July message was ridiculous.
She posted a photo from last year where she cropped
out Joe Biden and her message.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
Reads, things are hard right now.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
They're probably going to get worse before they get better.
I mean, wow, what an inspiring message for Independence Day.
It's funny though she's getting absolutely roasted for this online,
and some of my favorite comments have to be I'm
taking a moment to reflect on how much worse things
would have been if you'd want and things are actually
better now we have a president, which is very true.
(03:45):
But we have a massive show coming up for you today.
Let's get straight into it. Joining us now is Hillary Fordwitch,
President and founder of Strell Mark.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Hillary, great to see you.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
Let's start with Elon Musk He's announced the creation of
the America Party, aiming to shake up America's two party system,
and he's indicated the party will stand for free speech
and reduced regulations. Donald Trump has blasted the tech billionaire,
saying that Elon has gone off the rails. He wrote
on truth Social I'm sadden to watch Elon Musco completely
(04:19):
off the rails, essentially becoming a train wreck.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
Over the past five weeks.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
He even wants to start a third political party, despite
the facts that they have never succeeded in the United States.
The one thing third parties are good for is the
creation of complete and total disruption and chaos, and we
have enough of that with the radical left Democrats who
have lost their confidence and their minds. He also had
(04:44):
this to say to reporters.
Speaker 4 (04:46):
Thanks starting a third party, I think it's ridiculous to
start a third party. We have a tremendous success with
the Republican Party, right, the Democrats have lost their way,
But it's always been a two step, and I think
starting a third party.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
Just adds to confusion.
Speaker 5 (05:04):
It really seems to have been developed for two parties.
Speaker 6 (05:07):
Third parties have never worked, so.
Speaker 4 (05:09):
He can have fun with it, but I think it's ridiculous, Hilary.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
What do you make of this?
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Has Aylon gone off the rails and what are his
chances of succeeding really well?
Speaker 7 (05:21):
Pleasureing back with you again, Gabriella. Yes, other word I
thought of immediately was are that this is just divisive,
more divisive in the US. It's a very polarized nation
as it is, and I think that President Trump is
totally right. A third party has never worked in the US.
In nineteen ninety two, ross Paro basically was a spoiler
and handed the election to President Clinton at the time
(05:41):
with only a two point margin, and that of course
probably would have gone to the then Republican Bush. So
it's only ever been disruptive and it's been divisive. With
regard to Elon Musk, I also do think he should
really do far better by his companies. I'm Tesla's stock
is not well, the shipments have gone down, and the
boards of directors of both Tesla and his other firms
(06:05):
have actually said Gambriella, they want him to pay more
attention to them. I mean, think about you know SpaceX
that is not doing well either. He needs to dedicate
to his businesses.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
Yeah, I think he was doing well with what he
was attempting to do with Doge, but it's time that
he gets back to his businesses now. Now Trump has
signed his three point three trillion dollar, big, beautiful bill.
This of course includes tax cuts, It allocates hundreds of
billions of dollars for defense and for mass deportations to
be carried out. It rolls back green energy tax credits,
and includes Medicaid reforms.
Speaker 8 (06:36):
Let's just take a look.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
This was a big win for the president.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Just how significant is this and what impact is it
going to have?
Speaker 7 (07:00):
Well, I think it is a big win. It is
one of the biggest bills ever passed in American history.
And despite what the doomsayer Democrats have been saying, this
actually will be a huge contribution to reducing the deficit.
The scoring which is the CBO, the Congressional Budget Office,
they actually use something called static scoring, which is leaving
(07:22):
things the way they were dynamic scoring. Is with all
the reshoring Gabriella and all of the tax reductions and
all the expensing for businesses and the tariffs, let alone
all the deregulation, there will be such a huge generation
of dollars from more tax receipts as well as manufacturing
in the US. The estimation by static scoring is of
(07:43):
course of an increased deficit as I mentioned, but dynamic
scoring it is that it will be at least two
billion reduction to the deficit. Now, Elon Musk, my last
point leads the two stories together, which is it actually
eliminates all the EV mandates. And Elon Musk was not
very happy. Despite him being for the all the doge
about all that he has received, he is not happy
(08:04):
that those have been terminated. So I think that's part
of the reason that he's running. And I think this big,
beautiful bill isn't perfect, Gabriella, but it is one of
the best things we've seen in a long time.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
Yeah, I completely agree with you.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
Now, while I was away, socialist Zoran Mamdani won the
Democratic New York City mayor primary, and he's as radical
as it gets. His track record includes calling to defund
the police. He's clearly anti Israel, sparking serious concerns for
the Jewish community in New York if he is elected mayor,
and his campaign policy document calls for shifting the city's
(08:38):
tax burden onto richer and whiter neighborhoods.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
Also, he doesn't believe in billionaires. Look at this.
Speaker 9 (08:46):
You are a self described democratic socialist.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
Do you think that billionaires have a right to exist.
Speaker 10 (08:54):
I don't think that we should have billionaires because, frankly,
it is so much money in a moment of such
inner quality. And ultimately, what we need more of is
equality across our city, and across our state and across
our country. And I look forward to work with everyone,
including billionaires, to make a city that is fairer for
all of them.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
Hillary, what are your thoughts on man Danny and what
is going to happen to New York City if he wins?
Speaker 7 (09:18):
Well, I do think that the realtors in Florida are
happier than ever because New Yorkers are fleeing to Florida.
Speaker 11 (09:27):
Both. Yes.
Speaker 7 (09:29):
Regarding New Yorkers, though, I think what is really tragic
about this is that he comes from a very wealthy family.
I think that there should be a national amendment to
the Constitution in the United States, which is you cannot
run for office unless you've built a business and or
made payroll. I don't think he understands where money comes from.
Margaret Thatcher was very famous for saying there's no such
(09:50):
thing as a free lunch. I think he thinks that
money must come out of the sky because if billionaires
aren't great people, in all the taxes they pay, they
pay forty percent of the taxes. Once leave and the
millionaires leave, there's no one left to tax anymore. And
the last, but not least, Margaret Thatcher also said the
problem with socialism is you run out of spending other people's.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
Money, correct, And that is a lesson he should probably
learn now. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanya, who is in
Washington as we speak, he's just met with President Trump
and he handed Donald Trump a letter showing him that
he has nominated Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize.
I want to get your thoughts on that in a moment.
And leaders were also asked about how close a pace
(10:32):
steal is between Israel and Hamas and this is what
Steve Whitcoff had to say.
Speaker 12 (10:37):
It was a supercent.
Speaker 13 (10:40):
Today around the prime ministers being the Secretary of State
Chisti Rica. Does that? A number of soldiers reported that
think you're constantly killed. Does that in any way ripple
and cease fire negotiations with them?
Speaker 14 (10:54):
Us.
Speaker 6 (10:55):
I don't think so. They wanted, they want to meet,
and they want to have that cheese fire, so I
don't think so.
Speaker 8 (11:01):
Steve.
Speaker 6 (11:01):
Could you respond to this, You know well, I think
it's terrently unfortunate, terribly unfortunate.
Speaker 15 (11:08):
We were just talking about how tragic it is.
Speaker 6 (11:11):
But we have an opportunity to finally get a peace steal,
mister Prime Minister, as we discussed, and I'm hopeful for
it very quickly.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
Hilary, I'd love to get your thoughts on Donald Trump
being nominated for the Nobel at Peace Prize, but also
your thoughts on Steve Whitcoff's.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
Comments just now.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
Is this a turning point do you think in bringing
the war and Gaza to an end?
Speaker 7 (11:34):
Or two things?
Speaker 15 (11:35):
There are two questions.
Speaker 7 (11:36):
Yes. The first point with regard to the Nobel Peace Prize, Actually,
there are many who say, and I tend to agree,
that he should have received it when he initiated the
Abraham Accords during his first administration. So I think this
is better late than never, I would say. And definitely
he's done more for peace in the Middle East than
any president that I can think of in any of
our lifetimes. I'm certainly in a region that's seen thousands
(11:59):
of years of fighting. So I think it's well deserved
and the right kind of timing. With regard to Steve
wick Coff, he's also, by the way, just if I
might make mention being really great in terms of these negotiations,
and I think there is no chance for a peace negotiation,
I sure hope so, because I've been invited to a
state dinner in Tel Aviva with Ambassador Huckabee and President
(12:19):
Herzog in Augusta where with n its site visit. So
I'm hoping by then yes, and I think that it's
on the table. It's looking good, as good as it's
been in a thousands of years.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
Our Hilary players Kpas posted on that look. Donald Trump
also took several questions from reporters, which is so refreshing
when you compare him to Joe Biden that we had
for years, but looking at him watching that exchange between
Donald Trump and the reporters. During his meeting with Netanyahu,
he also said that Iran has reached out for talks.
Donald Trump also revealed that once again he's not happy
(12:52):
with Putin by refusing to end the war, and he
said that the US will be sending more weapons to Ukraine.
Speaker 16 (13:00):
He's your president, Are you planning to send more weapons
to Ukraine?
Speaker 6 (13:04):
We're going to send some more weapons. We have to.
They have to be able to defend themselves. They're getting
hit very hard. Now, they're getting hit very hard. We're
going to have to send more weapons. You have defensive
weapons primarily, but they're getting hit very, very hard. So
many people are dying in that mess.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
Hilary has to be welcome news for Ukraine. Yes, I
think so.
Speaker 7 (13:28):
I'm resuming those weaponshipments. And I think President Trump is
definitely a man of peace. And Gabrielle, he's one of
the few leaders that you ever hear, always always talking about,
you know, the sadness of the loss of lives. There's
a adition of war which is old men's when old
men send young men to die. He's somebody who does
not want to send young men or women to die.
And I think that, sadly this is necessary. And as
(13:50):
he made the point, you know, he's very disappointed in Putin,
as I think the whole world is. I don't can't
see what Futin's He's not popular anywhere in the world.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
Let's talk about tariffs.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
Donald Trump has threatened new tariffs on any nation supporting
anti American policies of the Bricks Group. In a truth
social post, Trump said that the US would impose an
additional ten percent tariff on any country aligning themselves with
the anti American policies of Bricks. Now, this is of
course an alliance that in comprises of ten countries, including China, Russia.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
And Iran.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
And Donald Trump has also sent tariff letters today to
twelve countries. This includes Japan and South Korea that have
been hit with a twenty five percent tariff. And the
letter also said, if for any reason you decide to
raise your tariffs, then whatever the number you choose to
raise them by will be added onto the twenty five
percent that we charge. So Donald Trump has been keeping
(14:44):
the world guessing with tariffs. We've spoken about this before,
but what are your thoughts are on this development?
Speaker 8 (14:50):
Well?
Speaker 7 (14:50):
I think really, I mean, it's fascinating to me. I
don't know who made all the former trade deals the
US had historically, because they totally and utterly hallowed out
manufacturing and American jobs. I think that he's talking what
he's talking about is Fayed. So it's fair and reciprocal
across the world, and I do think it's going to
rebalance global trade. I don't think this is to the
(15:12):
detriment of other nations. Other nations need America more than
the US needs them, And I think this is going
to end up actually being beneficial across the globe, not
just for the US. Why everyone needs the US markets.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
Before I let you go, Hillary, let's talk about the UK.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
The UK is set to lose more millionaires than any
other country this year. Figures from advisory firm Henley and
Partners predict that sixteen thousand, five hundred millionaires will leave
Britain in twenty twenty five. I mean, just how bad
is this for the UK?
Speaker 7 (15:45):
Well, it's terrible. It's ghastly. A millionaire leaves us every
forty five minutes. And one of the things I always
say is they say history repeats itself. This is what
happened before Margaret Thatcher came to power. Actually is when
we emigrated to the United States. This has happened before.
The UK used to be the sick man of Europe
until she brought it back. I think it's it's ghastly
(16:05):
and it's very very sad. I think it's right at
the very bottom of all the global migration statistics, and
I do think kissed Armer. The recent poll was that
only six sixty one percent disapprove of him. I wonder
why it's so low.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
Absolutely, that's right.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
This comes as Kiir Starmer's approval rating hits an all
time low, with sixty one percent of people thinking that
he is doing a bad job. Hillary Forward, which we
have to leave it there, thank you so much for
joining us.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
As youre, Gabriella, it's time for medium meltdowns.
Speaker 5 (16:47):
Well.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
Donald Trump's big beautiful bill passed this week, a bill
that includes tax cuts and funding for ice raids, a
huge win for the president. So with that, spare of
thought for the far left lunatics, because as we know,
there is nothing more triggering than when Donald Trump is winning.
Here is axed MSNBC host Joy Raid losing it, going
on an unhinged round, yelling at the TV and into
(17:11):
her phone.
Speaker 14 (17:12):
Republicans cheering destroying the poor in their own states. They're
literally cheering for destroying poor people in their own states.
This is repulsive, y'all, creating a police state, ramping up ice,
turning it into the largest state police force in US
(17:34):
history and gutting medicaid in their own states, and they
cheered and enchanted USA un freaking believable, trying not to cuss. Unbelievable.
Shame on them.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
But since MSNBC five Joy Raid at the start of
the year, it hasn't stopped her from speaking out and
pushing her anti Trump agenda.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
She now has a YouTube channel, the.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
Joyraid Show, which she says is a place for people
to get reliable information.
Speaker 5 (18:04):
A lot of people are.
Speaker 14 (18:05):
Asking themselves, where can you even get good, reliable information
to help you navigate this mess when you're crazy? High
school friends are spreading disinformation online and in your text groups.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
People want trusted voices.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
So what are we getting on her show? Well, her
episodes include the Crisis of Democracy in America and someone
please let her know that Trump's been in power for
almost six months and democracy has not ended. And there's
another episode labeled Trump's World War III Again, can anyone
let her know that Donald Trump is ending wars and
not starting them? And he's just been nominated for the
(18:39):
Nobel Peace Prize. But in a live video with Wahat
Ali from The Left Hook, Joy read issues are warning
that Donald Trump is in fact planning to stay in
office until he dies.
Speaker 14 (18:52):
He's not acting like somebody who's worried about the consequences
of that. This is somebody who is behaving as an
Autocrat because they don't anymore believe he said to an election,
I don't need your votes anymore, and he doesn't. I
don't think Trump intends to leave office. I'm very clear
about that. I think he intends to stay in office
like putin till he dies.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
Have all the people in the world suffering from TDS.
Joy Raid's case is severe and appears to somehow be
getting worse. Joining us now is comedian and host of
Prime Time with Alex Stein. Alex, it is great to
see you. I have to get your reaction to Joy
Raid's lightest rant.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
Is it just me? Or is TDS getting worse?
Speaker 15 (19:35):
You know, Jory reads Trump arrangement sindrame might be the
actual worst case.
Speaker 11 (19:39):
I mean when it comes to the American media, like
she was so mad at Trump she even adopted his
hairstyle at one point.
Speaker 15 (19:45):
And now she just sadly.
Speaker 11 (19:47):
I don't want to just comment on her appearance, but
I think her appearances kind of it tells a much
louder story than she is with words, and she's not
looking great. She's mad at the president because he's actually
trying to fix this country and she wants to protect
the illegal immigrants that she could care less about this country.
So joy read being this upset about Trump. Still, I'm
(20:07):
not surprised. I don't think that she's going to change
her tune for the next three and a half years.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
Yeah, I'm not surprised either, And I know we like
to have some fun, but we have to turn to
the devastating situation in Texas. This is absolutely heartbreaking. More
than one hundred people have been killed, including dozens of
children in the floods, and alex this is your home state.
You know, how are you feeling, how are many of
you feeling at the moment, and what more can you
(20:31):
tell us about what's been unfolding.
Speaker 15 (20:34):
I mean, it is really bad, Gabriella.
Speaker 11 (20:36):
I'm a comedian and I like to joke around, but
there's absolutely nothing funny about what happened here. And you
know in Curville, Texas and Hunt, Texas where these kids
at this camp missed or swept away, and it was
twenty seven people passed away at that camp, and I
went to school with a guy by the name of
Davin Hunt. His daughter is tragically taken away in this
horrible tragedy. So I know people that are personally affected.
(20:57):
And I'll tell you this much, I don't think it's
Apologian's fault, but it is just very unusual to have
this type of flooding, you know, the first time, and
that this camp has ever had anything like this. So
it's just a horrible and fortunate situation that I don't
think we can blame our politicians obviously, but I mean
I just really don't know what to do. And something
happens that that is just this unthinkable, like young children
(21:18):
getting hurt, It just kind of it kind of makes
a question like, you know, why would God do something
like this? And I guess there's a bigger plan. But
I feel really sorry for the families that are just
really struggling, especially the Hunt family here in Dallas.
Speaker 15 (21:31):
I know that what they're going through is just something
I don't even want to imagine myself.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
Alex, I'm so sorry.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
We are so heartbroken and sending you all so much
love from here in Australia. It's been devastating to watch
it unfold and the amount of people being killed, it's
just hard to fathom. We know that Donald Trump will
be visiting Texas on Friday. He had this to say
a little earlier.
Speaker 6 (21:55):
Yeah, the Friday, you'd like to do how they are on, Well,
we're going to just make it as comfortable as possible
for the state of Texas. They have a great governor,
they have wonderful senators, they have wonderful representatives, and we're
going to work together with them. And we have been
working really very hard. This whole table has been working.
(22:17):
That was a terrible event, terrible event so that maybe
where Texas was just absolutely so badly hurt by something
that was a big surprise late in the evening. So
we'll be working with the governor and all of the
people of Texas. We'll be going on we'll be going
on Fridays.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
Alex you mentioned that looking at this event, it's not
really a time to blame politicians. Rosie O'Donnell has taken
a different view. This is her message.
Speaker 17 (22:48):
And you know, when the president guts all of the
early warning systems and the weathering forecast abilities of the government,
these are the results that we're going to start to
see on a daily basis because he's put this country
in so much danger by his horrible, horrible decisions and
(23:10):
this ridiculously immoral bill that he just signed into law
as Republicans cheered, as Republicans cheered, people will die as
a result, and they've started already. Shame on him, Shame
on every GOP sink e fan who's listening and following
(23:34):
the disastrous decisions of this mentally incapacitated bous Alex.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
What do you make of Rosio Donald?
Speaker 11 (23:43):
I mean, it's absolutely ridiculous to try to blame this
on Donald Trump. I mean, if people want to say
because there's budget cuts to the National Weather Service, that's
just incorrect, that's fake news. I mean, they did have
warnings about the weather, but in ninety minutes it was
a surge that they'd never seen. This camp had been
there for I believe over one hundred years, and nothing
like this had ever happened. So it was just the
(24:03):
I mean, I don't know how to describe it other
than the perfect storm that no politician could have stopped.
I mean, for her to blame the death of I
think it's over eighty people and twenty seven children at
this camp on Donald Trump just shows you that Rosie o'
donald's a sick person and she doesn't really care about
those kids. She's just using it as some sort of
a political tool to make her message against Donald Trump stronger.
(24:27):
And it's sad that those kids have to be used
like that by Rosie o'donald, who is just a disgusting
person in my.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
Opinion, Alex.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
The mainstream media is also blaming Donald Trump and climate change.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
Here is seen ins coverage of the disaster.
Speaker 9 (24:43):
How much do you think the changing climate is part
of what we are seeing go on here, not just
what we're seeing in the pictures that we're showing on
the screen, but even the flood that you talked about
in San Antonio in June.
Speaker 13 (25:00):
I think climate change is obviously a part of it.
These floods are happening more often in more parts of
the country and really all over the world, and so
we have to face that reality and be better prepared
for it and combat it.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
It seems a problem might have been the lack of
a flood warning system.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
The Weather Service.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
Has clarified that it had extra staff on duty during
the storm, and Homeland Security has had to call out
the media for lying. It posted the mainstream media is
deliberately lying about the events leading up to the catastrophic
flooding in Texas. The National Weather Service executed timely, precise
forecasting and warnings despite unprecedented rainfall overwhelming the region. Alex,
(25:41):
Are you surprised to see the mainstream media going straight
to blaming Donald Trump and of course climate change for this.
Speaker 11 (25:49):
Well, I'm not surprised whatsoever. And you know, it's obviously
humans have an effect on the climate. But one thing
that we're not talking about is out there our companies
now that are openly modifying the weather cloud seating technology.
So of course humans have an effect on the climate,
but I wonder how much that effect that we're doing
that we don't even know about, because it's, like I said,
it's just an unprecedented storm to have this sort of flooding,
(26:12):
and it's just it's never happened in I believe the
one hundred year history of the camp.
Speaker 15 (26:16):
Something weird is going on.
Speaker 11 (26:18):
We are affecting the weather, but I just wonder how
much of that effect is done on purpose and how
much of it is done just by the byproduct of
human beings living on Earth.
Speaker 15 (26:26):
So there's a lot of unanswered questions.
Speaker 11 (26:29):
I don't think that the government's going to be able
to really, you know, take the blame for this, because
I don't think it is their fault.
Speaker 15 (26:34):
I don't think it's a national weather service. I think
it's just a.
Speaker 11 (26:36):
Really unfortunate incident where sadly, these girls' lives are lost
because there's a horrible tragedy due to a weather disaster
that no human being could stop.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
Yeah, no, it's absolutely heartbreaking. Let's talk about Karen Bass.
ICE agents have carried out immigration rates in LA and
Karen Bass went to the scene to protest against them.
Here she is making a complete full of herself.
Speaker 10 (27:02):
I need to get.
Speaker 15 (27:11):
My comments.
Speaker 3 (27:12):
They need to leave, and they need to leave right now.
Speaker 12 (27:19):
Who do you speak with the phone, Alex.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
This comes after ICE agents have been shot at, they've
been targeted, and.
Speaker 1 (27:34):
Karen Bass is clearly on the side of illegals.
Speaker 15 (27:38):
One percent.
Speaker 11 (27:39):
And if you look at what Donald Trump is doing,
he actually wants to help out a lot of the
people that have been here for a long time.
Speaker 15 (27:44):
I mean, Donald Trump is not this evil.
Speaker 11 (27:46):
Person that the Left is trying to make him out
to be or Karen Bass is trying to make him
out to be. I think he's actually being critiques by
a lot of people on the right for not being
tough enough on immigration. So Donald Trump's not gonna be
able to make the right one hundred percent happy. He's
not gonna be able to make the left on a
hundred and happy. But what he needs to focus on
is getting out these violent criminals that are here in
our country. Now, if you're a person saved here for
twenty years and you're not a criminal, I don't think
(28:07):
that that needs to be our priority. But here in America,
our priority needs to be getting out all of the
gang bangers and all of the people that use fake
asylum to come to this country and take social services
away from American citizens that are struggling. So Karen Bass
trying to protect those people, there's no excuse for it.
Speaker 15 (28:21):
But the people that have been here and you know,
and live their life.
Speaker 11 (28:25):
I think Donald Trump is going to try to work
on a plan and you know, a way for them
to actually stay. So let's just let time, you know,
play out, and we'll see how this immigration thing kind
of works itself out. But right now, Karen Bass protecting criminals.
It's just not a good look.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
No, it's certainly not Alex. The Department of Justice and
the FBI says that pedophile Jeffrey Epstein died by suicide
and that there is no client list. This is raising
a lot of eyebrows.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
Let's just look back at what Pam Bondi had to
say earlier in the year.
Speaker 9 (28:56):
The DOJ may be releasing the list of Jeffrey epsteinan's clients.
Speaker 15 (29:01):
Will that really happen.
Speaker 18 (29:02):
It's sitting on my desk right now to review. That's
been a directive by President Trump.
Speaker 1 (29:08):
I'm reviewing that.
Speaker 18 (29:09):
I'm reviewing JFK files, MLK files. That's all in the
process of being reviewed because that was done at the
directive of the President from all of these agencies.
Speaker 11 (29:17):
So so have you seen anything there? You said, Oh,
my gosh.
Speaker 18 (29:21):
Not yet.
Speaker 2 (29:23):
Here's Caroline Levitt clarifying what Pam Bondy meant.
Speaker 19 (29:27):
So the FBI looks at the circumstances frounding the death
of Jeffrey Epstein. According to the report, this systematic review
revealed no incriminating client list. So what happened to the
Epstein client list that the Attorney General said she had
on her desk.
Speaker 16 (29:46):
Well, I think if you go back and look at
what the Attorney General said in that interview, which was
on your network on Fox News, go.
Speaker 19 (29:52):
Ahead, and Roberts said, DOJ maybe releasing the list of
Jeffrey Epstein's clients? Will that really happen? And she said,
it's sitting on my desk right now to review.
Speaker 16 (30:01):
Yes, she was saying the entirety of all of the paperwork,
all of the paper in relation to Jeffrey Epstein's crimes.
That's what the Attorney General was referring to. And I'll
let her speak for that. But again, when it comes
to the FBI and the Department of Justice, they are
more than committed to ensuring that bad people are put
behind bars.
Speaker 2 (30:19):
Alex, what's happened here? A lot of people are not
buying this.
Speaker 15 (30:23):
Yeah, nobody's buying it. Here in America.
Speaker 11 (30:25):
You have the left wing and the right wing yelling
at Pam Bondy for some transparency, and sadly we're not
going to get it. Because I think that the people
that are connected at Jeffrey Epstein debacle are some high
powerful people that would cause geopolitical conflicts with other countries.
And I think that's what it really comes down to.
That is now a matter of national security to keep
this list of private and nobody on both sides increased
(30:47):
with that strategy. I mean, we all wanted transparency. Donald
Trump campaigned on it, and now Pam Bondy is walking
back what she said she was going to do. So
I'm just telling you, even the most loyal Donald Trump
supporters on media or asking questions, why are we not
getting these answers when you said that they're going to
give us And we don't want to see victims.
Speaker 15 (31:07):
It's not that we want to try to expose any victims.
Speaker 11 (31:10):
We just want to expose the actors and the powerful
people that we're doing this on an island with children.
Speaker 15 (31:16):
So there's no excuse.
Speaker 11 (31:17):
And this is a big missed opportunity from the Trump
administration for not giving us a transparency that so many
Americans really want on both sides of the audice.
Speaker 2 (31:25):
Yeah, I completely agree with you there. Well, Joe Biden
is back. The former president claimed during a re public
appearance that he just keeps getting phone calls from officeholders
and European leaders asking for advice.
Speaker 1 (31:38):
During the Trump era, the strengthen.
Speaker 3 (31:40):
Dat et away, and I'm getting the calls.
Speaker 11 (31:46):
I'm not going to with a kid.
Speaker 3 (31:50):
From a number of European leaders.
Speaker 15 (31:53):
I'm not Anyways, the seeds are different.
Speaker 1 (31:58):
See telling the truth right now, Alex.
Speaker 11 (32:02):
You know what, honestly, he's he's probably a little too
seen now to even make that up.
Speaker 15 (32:05):
I bet people are calling.
Speaker 11 (32:07):
Him because if you really look back as much you know,
grief that we give Joe Biden, he's the only president
president to technically.
Speaker 15 (32:15):
Beat Donald Trump in an election.
Speaker 11 (32:17):
So in a way, he is kind of Donald Trump's
kryptonite in this weird kind of accidental uh you know, Uh,
he's like a guy that just keeps failing, but he
fails upwards. But yes, if you really look at it
on paper, Joe Biden's the only guy to ever beat
Donald Trump an election.
Speaker 15 (32:32):
In an election.
Speaker 11 (32:33):
So in that case, I wouldn't be surprised that other
foreign countries are asking him for advice.
Speaker 15 (32:37):
Will it help them at all?
Speaker 11 (32:38):
No, because he's probably just gonna draw on himself and
give him some you know, nonsensical answer. But I'm actually
not surprised that people are reaching out to you know,
former President Biden.
Speaker 2 (32:47):
Thank you, Alex Stein, thank you so much for joining
us on Power Hour and our hearts are with you
during this difficult time in Texas.
Speaker 1 (32:53):
Sending me all lots of love.
Speaker 15 (32:56):
Thank you, Gabriella. I told to you guys soon.
Speaker 2 (33:01):
Joining us now is Angela Mollard News Court colonists for
all the Royal News.
Speaker 1 (33:05):
Angela, great to see you.
Speaker 5 (33:07):
To see you too.
Speaker 2 (33:08):
King Charles has described how the two thousand and five
London bombings showed the very best of humanity in the
face of the very worst as he marked the twentieth
anniversary of the attack. He also said in a message
that his heartfelt thoughts and special prayers are with those
whose lives were changed forever on that terrible Summer's day.
What more can you tell us about how the Royal
(33:29):
family marks the anniversary.
Speaker 20 (33:31):
Yes, they're very aligned with the people that have suffered
during this and they talk a lot about community. Prince
William was also there yesterday.
Speaker 5 (33:39):
He was laying a wreath.
Speaker 20 (33:40):
I think the fact that the Royals come out to
these anniversaries that shows the community how much it meant.
As someone who was in London during that attack, it
was a horrifying time.
Speaker 5 (33:51):
To be there.
Speaker 20 (33:52):
It was just fifty two people died, as we know,
so many more were injured.
Speaker 5 (33:56):
And yes, time passes, but it.
Speaker 20 (33:58):
Doesn't mean that the whole of a terrorist attack like
that has that impact for decades following. And to have
members of the royal family really acknowledged that, not just
with a message but to turn up. The King of
course also laid a wreath and then beautifully fifty two
thousand white petals fell from the ceiling at that commemorative meeting,
(34:20):
and I just think.
Speaker 5 (34:20):
It's so important.
Speaker 20 (34:22):
This is where the royals can really lend a heart
in hand.
Speaker 1 (34:26):
Absolutely.
Speaker 2 (34:27):
Now King Charles, Queen Miller and the Prince and Princess
of Wales will welcome the President of France. I understand
there's going to be a carriage procession through the streets
of windsor what else can we expect.
Speaker 5 (34:37):
That's right, it's a three day visit.
Speaker 20 (34:39):
They'll be met by the Prince and Princess of Wales
at RAF Northolt tomorrow, so that'll be great.
Speaker 5 (34:43):
We'll see that Kate out there again.
Speaker 20 (34:45):
Look interesting because of course this tense relationship for you know,
hundreds of years between the French and the English, but
they call it the entent cordial.
Speaker 5 (34:53):
The fact that this is this cordial.
Speaker 20 (34:55):
Relationship between the Macrons and the King and Queen. I
love the fact that Bridget Macron, instead of being called
Madam Macron when she is going to be in England,
she's going to be called Missus Macron. She's very much
getting on board with the English language there rather than
the French. But in fact Prince King Charles does speak
fluent French.
Speaker 5 (35:14):
So it's a very you know, it's a close relationship.
This one. There'll be, as you say, a carriage ride.
Speaker 20 (35:20):
And there's also interestingly, they show each other the gifts
that each other.
Speaker 5 (35:23):
Have given in the past.
Speaker 20 (35:25):
So a carriage that was given by a former French
king to the monarchy, and then the horse that Macron
himself gifted to the King for the Queen for a
platinum jubilee in twenty twenty two is going to catch
up with the horse.
Speaker 5 (35:37):
So I think we'll be seeing a lot of them.
They won't be.
Speaker 20 (35:40):
Talking about, of course, lis lap, the slap that Bridget
Macron gave to her husband.
Speaker 5 (35:46):
That will not be a subject in conversation.
Speaker 1 (35:49):
I don't think.
Speaker 5 (35:49):
Oh well, certainly not in front of everybody.
Speaker 1 (35:51):
No, what we talked about it here on power hour.
That was unbelievable.
Speaker 2 (35:55):
Now there's been some controversy over the decision by Norwegian
Princess Ingrid Alexander to enroll at Sydney University.
Speaker 1 (36:02):
What's happened here?
Speaker 5 (36:03):
I love this story.
Speaker 20 (36:04):
There's a you know, a young European princess. She's chosen
to come to Sydney. She loves surfing. She's going to
study for a Bachelor of Arts in Sydney. But the
Norwegians have lost their minds about it. They've made smart,
crude remarks about it being a penal colony, the fact
that you know she's going back here like a prisoner,
(36:25):
the fact that she won't be there to do royal
duties for three years during her degree, and the complaints
have been such that her father, the King, has actually
had to come out and say this will be good
for the monarchy because she'll get some life experience since
she'll come back, and she'll be even more valuable to us.
Speaker 5 (36:39):
But it shows how to backwards they can be sometimes.
Speaker 1 (36:42):
That's hilarious.
Speaker 2 (36:43):
No, we're very much looking forward to having Ingrid Alexandra.
It's exciting for us here in Sydney. Now, Megan Markle,
she's posted once again in honor of a fourth of July.
She posted a video of how she was celebrating, and
that includes assembling food with the colors of the American
flag to her Instagram account.
Speaker 1 (37:01):
Andla, what do you make of this?
Speaker 2 (37:02):
She's really loving this kind of food blog in strictgram
influencer era of her.
Speaker 20 (37:08):
She is fully moved on from princess to influencer. In
my book, she's a cut price schne of Poultrow, I think,
and look, yeah, look, it's lovely that she celebrates this
national day. And in fact, she went on to show
the cupcakes that Harry had given her on their second date.
So the second date they had was the fourth of July,
he brought cupcakes for her.
Speaker 5 (37:26):
There was a picture from that day.
Speaker 20 (37:28):
She continues the traditions with the cupcakes with her own
children decorating them. It's just that it doesn't land, does it. Unfortunately,
they're really tone deaf on these sorts of things. Look,
it's I think talking about things that matter. She's moving
so far now into this very light. You know, she's
a humanitarian, evolved. She wanted to make a difference in
(37:51):
the world. She was offered the Commonwealth. She and Harry
by the Queen to lead the Commonwealth in terms of
the Royals and their positioning with it, and to have
put aside that to be showing off cupcakes. It just
feels like she's really missed an opportunity, and they've missed
an opportunity as a couple to have had that gravitas
in the world.
Speaker 2 (38:10):
Absolutely, and it's such a good point. The cupcakes. You know,
she just keeps bringing up, Oh, this is what it was,
our second date. We know the story, we were there,
we lived through it.
Speaker 1 (38:20):
We don't care about the cupcakes. But she's still going
to keep posting about it.
Speaker 2 (38:23):
But is Kansas Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have reportedly
let go of several staff.
Speaker 1 (38:27):
Members, including their PR team. This is apparently in an
effort to save some money. What do you make of
their decision to let go of their PR team.
Speaker 20 (38:36):
I think the one team they don't need to let
come of their PR team. In fact, I'm hoping they
rehire some people of significance to do that role. There's
a lot of talk in America that this is because
they actually can't afford them. We know they have a
long history of not being able to keep stuff, but
the fact they can't afford them. Their Netflix dealer is
supposed to expire this year. They pay huge taxes on
(38:59):
their property three million Australian dollars a year for security.
You have to wonder actually whether they can afford their
life because you might sell a few jams, but they
keep running out of stock, so that she's not making
huge amounts of money through that. We have to ask
what Harry's making money from. Of course he has money
from his late mother, but that's an inheritance. It's not
a replenishing amount.
Speaker 5 (39:19):
So where are they going to?
Speaker 20 (39:21):
You know, I'd love to see the inside workings of
their finances because you know, it's not like they're aligned
to the royal family and they have the benefits of that.
So yeah, it'd be interesting to see where they go
with their PRT from here on. But I'm looking for
a good hire, Yeah, good British hire.
Speaker 2 (39:37):
Actually telling them, telling them maybe to keep quiet, that
would be nice, exactly. Candela Malla, thank you so much.
Thanks and that is power our thank you for your company.
Make sure you subscribe to Sky and Is Australia on YouTube.
Its Power Hour with Gabriella Power.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Hello and welcome to Power Hour. I'm Gabriella Power. I
hope you all had an amazing Fourth of July weekend.
I've just returned back home to Australia from one of
the greatest countries on Earth, the US of a and
it was so wonderful to be back spending time in America,
the Land of the Free, a country with so many
opportunities and some of the.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
Friendliest people you could ever meet.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
And I felt so grateful to be over there, especially
for the Fourth of July weekend, seeing so many patriots
who are proud of their country, waiving the American flag,
celebrating with their families, honoring America and all of those
who fought so hard to protect.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
It for generations.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
And I had to take a moment to reflect on
how incredible this moment in time really is, where we
have President Donald Trump fiercely leading America, putting America first.
The cover of the New York Post for the fourth
July reads tired of winning Yet, because that is what
Donald Trump is doing right now. In the space of
just a couple of weeks, he obliterated around nuclear facilities.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
He signed into law his big beautiful bill.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Unemployment numbers are down and wages are up, and America
is so back.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
Let's get into the spirit of it.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
This has to be the best Fourth of July video
going viral.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
I just want to tell you that America, it's the
greatest place, honor, and how's the energy?
Speaker 2 (01:48):
There is no place like the United States of America.
And Donald Trump and First Lady Millennia Trump celebrated Independence
Day at the White House. Trump hosted a special thank
you to the heroic ICE officers fighting for sovereignty and freedom.
But this has to be my favorite moment, the First
Lady busting out Trump's signature dance moves before watching the fireworks.
(02:11):
So how great is that? We love to see it, Millennia.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
So let's just take a look at how proud Americans
are feeling right now.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
A recent Fox News poll found that the largest number
of voters since twenty eleven are proud of their country,
and almost seventy percent of people agree that the US
is the best country in the world to live.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
But it's interesting.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
A pole obtained by The New York Post shows that
there's a big difference when it comes to Republicans and Democrats.
This poll by National Research Inc. Found that ninety one
percent of self identified Republicans call themselves patriots. That's compared
to just fifty percent of Democrats. And I'm not sure
(03:01):
if that is surprising, because there are, of course a
few miserable liberals refusing to wish America a happy Birthday
this past weekend. And these are the people who voted
for Kamala Harris. And her Fourth of July message was ridiculous.
She posted a photo from last year where she cropped
out Joe Biden and her message.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
Reads, things are hard right now.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
They're probably going to get worse before they get better.
I mean, wow, what an inspiring message for Independence Day.
It's funny though she's getting absolutely roasted for this online,
and some of my favorite comments have to be I'm
taking a moment to reflect on how much worse things
would have been if you'd want and things are actually
better now we have a president, which is very true.
(03:45):
But we have a massive show coming up for you today.
Let's get straight into it. Joining us now is Hillary Fordwitch,
President and founder of Strell Mark.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Hillary, great to see you.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
Let's start with Elon Musk He's announced the creation of
the America Party, aiming to shake up America's two party system,
and he's indicated the party will stand for free speech
and reduced regulations. Donald Trump has blasted the tech billionaire,
saying that Elon has gone off the rails. He wrote
on truth Social I'm sadden to watch Elon Musco completely
(04:19):
off the rails, essentially becoming a train wreck.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
Over the past five weeks.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
He even wants to start a third political party, despite
the facts that they have never succeeded in the United States.
The one thing third parties are good for is the
creation of complete and total disruption and chaos, and we
have enough of that with the radical left Democrats who
have lost their confidence and their minds. He also had
(04:44):
this to say to reporters.
Speaker 4 (04:46):
Thanks starting a third party, I think it's ridiculous to
start a third party. We have a tremendous success with
the Republican Party, right, the Democrats have lost their way,
But it's always been a two step, and I think
starting a third party.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
Just adds to confusion.
Speaker 5 (05:04):
It really seems to have been developed for two parties.
Speaker 6 (05:07):
Third parties have never worked, so.
Speaker 4 (05:09):
He can have fun with it, but I think it's ridiculous, Hilary.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
What do you make of this?
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Has Aylon gone off the rails and what are his
chances of succeeding really well?
Speaker 7 (05:21):
Pleasureing back with you again, Gabriella. Yes, other word I
thought of immediately was are that this is just divisive,
more divisive in the US. It's a very polarized nation
as it is, and I think that President Trump is
totally right. A third party has never worked in the US.
In nineteen ninety two, ross Paro basically was a spoiler
and handed the election to President Clinton at the time
(05:41):
with only a two point margin, and that of course
probably would have gone to the then Republican Bush. So
it's only ever been disruptive and it's been divisive. With
regard to Elon Musk, I also do think he should
really do far better by his companies. I'm Tesla's stock
is not well, the shipments have gone down, and the
boards of directors of both Tesla and his other firms
(06:05):
have actually said Gambriella, they want him to pay more
attention to them. I mean, think about you know SpaceX
that is not doing well either. He needs to dedicate
to his businesses.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
Yeah, I think he was doing well with what he
was attempting to do with Doge, but it's time that
he gets back to his businesses now. Now Trump has
signed his three point three trillion dollar, big, beautiful bill.
This of course includes tax cuts, It allocates hundreds of
billions of dollars for defense and for mass deportations to
be carried out. It rolls back green energy tax credits,
and includes Medicaid reforms.
Speaker 8 (06:36):
Let's just take a look.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
This was a big win for the president.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Just how significant is this and what impact is it
going to have?
Speaker 7 (07:00):
Well, I think it is a big win. It is
one of the biggest bills ever passed in American history.
And despite what the doomsayer Democrats have been saying, this
actually will be a huge contribution to reducing the deficit.
The scoring which is the CBO, the Congressional Budget Office,
they actually use something called static scoring, which is leaving
(07:22):
things the way they were dynamic scoring. Is with all
the reshoring Gabriella and all of the tax reductions and
all the expensing for businesses and the tariffs, let alone
all the deregulation, there will be such a huge generation
of dollars from more tax receipts as well as manufacturing
in the US. The estimation by static scoring is of
(07:43):
course of an increased deficit as I mentioned, but dynamic
scoring it is that it will be at least two
billion reduction to the deficit. Now, Elon Musk, my last
point leads the two stories together, which is it actually
eliminates all the EV mandates. And Elon Musk was not
very happy. Despite him being for the all the doge
about all that he has received, he is not happy
(08:04):
that those have been terminated. So I think that's part
of the reason that he's running. And I think this big,
beautiful bill isn't perfect, Gabriella, but it is one of
the best things we've seen in a long time.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
Yeah, I completely agree with you.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
Now, while I was away, socialist Zoran Mamdani won the
Democratic New York City mayor primary, and he's as radical
as it gets. His track record includes calling to defund
the police. He's clearly anti Israel, sparking serious concerns for
the Jewish community in New York if he is elected mayor,
and his campaign policy document calls for shifting the city's
(08:38):
tax burden onto richer and whiter neighborhoods.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
Also, he doesn't believe in billionaires. Look at this.
Speaker 9 (08:46):
You are a self described democratic socialist.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
Do you think that billionaires have a right to exist.
Speaker 10 (08:54):
I don't think that we should have billionaires because, frankly,
it is so much money in a moment of such
inner quality. And ultimately, what we need more of is
equality across our city, and across our state and across
our country. And I look forward to work with everyone,
including billionaires, to make a city that is fairer for
all of them.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
Hillary, what are your thoughts on man Danny and what
is going to happen to New York City if he wins?
Speaker 7 (09:18):
Well, I do think that the realtors in Florida are
happier than ever because New Yorkers are fleeing to Florida.
Speaker 11 (09:27):
Both. Yes.
Speaker 7 (09:29):
Regarding New Yorkers, though, I think what is really tragic
about this is that he comes from a very wealthy family.
I think that there should be a national amendment to
the Constitution in the United States, which is you cannot
run for office unless you've built a business and or
made payroll. I don't think he understands where money comes from.
Margaret Thatcher was very famous for saying there's no such
(09:50):
thing as a free lunch. I think he thinks that
money must come out of the sky because if billionaires
aren't great people, in all the taxes they pay, they
pay forty percent of the taxes. Once leave and the
millionaires leave, there's no one left to tax anymore. And
the last, but not least, Margaret Thatcher also said the
problem with socialism is you run out of spending other people's.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
Money, correct, And that is a lesson he should probably
learn now. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanya, who is in
Washington as we speak, he's just met with President Trump
and he handed Donald Trump a letter showing him that
he has nominated Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize.
I want to get your thoughts on that in a moment.
And leaders were also asked about how close a pace
(10:32):
steal is between Israel and Hamas and this is what
Steve Whitcoff had to say.
Speaker 12 (10:37):
It was a supercent.
Speaker 13 (10:40):
Today around the prime ministers being the Secretary of State
Chisti Rica. Does that? A number of soldiers reported that
think you're constantly killed. Does that in any way ripple
and cease fire negotiations with them?
Speaker 14 (10:54):
Us.
Speaker 6 (10:55):
I don't think so. They wanted, they want to meet,
and they want to have that cheese fire, so I
don't think so.
Speaker 8 (11:01):
Steve.
Speaker 6 (11:01):
Could you respond to this, You know well, I think
it's terrently unfortunate, terribly unfortunate.
Speaker 15 (11:08):
We were just talking about how tragic it is.
Speaker 6 (11:11):
But we have an opportunity to finally get a peace steal,
mister Prime Minister, as we discussed, and I'm hopeful for
it very quickly.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
Hilary, I'd love to get your thoughts on Donald Trump
being nominated for the Nobel at Peace Prize, but also
your thoughts on Steve Whitcoff's.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
Comments just now.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
Is this a turning point do you think in bringing
the war and Gaza to an end?
Speaker 7 (11:34):
Or two things?
Speaker 15 (11:35):
There are two questions.
Speaker 7 (11:36):
Yes. The first point with regard to the Nobel Peace Prize, Actually,
there are many who say, and I tend to agree,
that he should have received it when he initiated the
Abraham Accords during his first administration. So I think this
is better late than never, I would say. And definitely
he's done more for peace in the Middle East than
any president that I can think of in any of
our lifetimes. I'm certainly in a region that's seen thousands
(11:59):
of years of fighting. So I think it's well deserved
and the right kind of timing. With regard to Steve
wick Coff, he's also, by the way, just if I
might make mention being really great in terms of these negotiations,
and I think there is no chance for a peace negotiation,
I sure hope so, because I've been invited to a
state dinner in Tel Aviva with Ambassador Huckabee and President
(12:19):
Herzog in Augusta where with n its site visit. So
I'm hoping by then yes, and I think that it's
on the table. It's looking good, as good as it's
been in a thousands of years.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
Our Hilary players Kpas posted on that look. Donald Trump
also took several questions from reporters, which is so refreshing
when you compare him to Joe Biden that we had
for years, but looking at him watching that exchange between
Donald Trump and the reporters. During his meeting with Netanyahu,
he also said that Iran has reached out for talks.
Donald Trump also revealed that once again he's not happy
(12:52):
with Putin by refusing to end the war, and he
said that the US will be sending more weapons to Ukraine.
Speaker 16 (13:00):
He's your president, Are you planning to send more weapons
to Ukraine?
Speaker 6 (13:04):
We're going to send some more weapons. We have to.
They have to be able to defend themselves. They're getting
hit very hard. Now, they're getting hit very hard. We're
going to have to send more weapons. You have defensive
weapons primarily, but they're getting hit very, very hard. So
many people are dying in that mess.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
Hilary has to be welcome news for Ukraine. Yes, I
think so.
Speaker 7 (13:28):
I'm resuming those weaponshipments. And I think President Trump is
definitely a man of peace. And Gabrielle, he's one of
the few leaders that you ever hear, always always talking about,
you know, the sadness of the loss of lives. There's
a adition of war which is old men's when old
men send young men to die. He's somebody who does
not want to send young men or women to die.
And I think that, sadly this is necessary. And as
(13:50):
he made the point, you know, he's very disappointed in Putin,
as I think the whole world is. I don't can't
see what Futin's He's not popular anywhere in the world.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
Let's talk about tariffs.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
Donald Trump has threatened new tariffs on any nation supporting
anti American policies of the Bricks Group. In a truth
social post, Trump said that the US would impose an
additional ten percent tariff on any country aligning themselves with
the anti American policies of Bricks. Now, this is of
course an alliance that in comprises of ten countries, including China, Russia.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
And Iran.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
And Donald Trump has also sent tariff letters today to
twelve countries. This includes Japan and South Korea that have
been hit with a twenty five percent tariff. And the
letter also said, if for any reason you decide to
raise your tariffs, then whatever the number you choose to
raise them by will be added onto the twenty five
percent that we charge. So Donald Trump has been keeping
(14:44):
the world guessing with tariffs. We've spoken about this before,
but what are your thoughts are on this development?
Speaker 8 (14:50):
Well?
Speaker 7 (14:50):
I think really, I mean, it's fascinating to me. I
don't know who made all the former trade deals the
US had historically, because they totally and utterly hallowed out
manufacturing and American jobs. I think that he's talking what
he's talking about is Fayed. So it's fair and reciprocal
across the world, and I do think it's going to
rebalance global trade. I don't think this is to the
(15:12):
detriment of other nations. Other nations need America more than
the US needs them, And I think this is going
to end up actually being beneficial across the globe, not
just for the US. Why everyone needs the US markets.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
Before I let you go, Hillary, let's talk about the UK.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
The UK is set to lose more millionaires than any
other country this year. Figures from advisory firm Henley and
Partners predict that sixteen thousand, five hundred millionaires will leave
Britain in twenty twenty five. I mean, just how bad
is this for the UK?
Speaker 7 (15:45):
Well, it's terrible. It's ghastly. A millionaire leaves us every
forty five minutes. And one of the things I always
say is they say history repeats itself. This is what
happened before Margaret Thatcher came to power. Actually is when
we emigrated to the United States. This has happened before.
The UK used to be the sick man of Europe
until she brought it back. I think it's it's ghastly
(16:05):
and it's very very sad. I think it's right at
the very bottom of all the global migration statistics, and
I do think kissed Armer. The recent poll was that
only six sixty one percent disapprove of him. I wonder
why it's so low.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
Absolutely, that's right.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
This comes as Kiir Starmer's approval rating hits an all
time low, with sixty one percent of people thinking that
he is doing a bad job. Hillary Forward, which we
have to leave it there, thank you so much for
joining us.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
As youre, Gabriella, it's time for medium meltdowns.
Speaker 5 (16:47):
Well.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
Donald Trump's big beautiful bill passed this week, a bill
that includes tax cuts and funding for ice raids, a
huge win for the president. So with that, spare of
thought for the far left lunatics, because as we know,
there is nothing more triggering than when Donald Trump is winning.
Here is axed MSNBC host Joy Raid losing it, going
on an unhinged round, yelling at the TV and into
(17:11):
her phone.
Speaker 14 (17:12):
Republicans cheering destroying the poor in their own states. They're
literally cheering for destroying poor people in their own states.
This is repulsive, y'all, creating a police state, ramping up ice,
turning it into the largest state police force in US
(17:34):
history and gutting medicaid in their own states, and they
cheered and enchanted USA un freaking believable, trying not to cuss. Unbelievable.
Shame on them.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
But since MSNBC five Joy Raid at the start of
the year, it hasn't stopped her from speaking out and
pushing her anti Trump agenda.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
She now has a YouTube channel, the.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
Joyraid Show, which she says is a place for people
to get reliable information.
Speaker 5 (18:04):
A lot of people are.
Speaker 14 (18:05):
Asking themselves, where can you even get good, reliable information
to help you navigate this mess when you're crazy? High
school friends are spreading disinformation online and in your text groups.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
People want trusted voices.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
So what are we getting on her show? Well, her
episodes include the Crisis of Democracy in America and someone
please let her know that Trump's been in power for
almost six months and democracy has not ended. And there's
another episode labeled Trump's World War III Again, can anyone
let her know that Donald Trump is ending wars and
not starting them? And he's just been nominated for the
(18:39):
Nobel Peace Prize. But in a live video with Wahat
Ali from The Left Hook, Joy read issues are warning
that Donald Trump is in fact planning to stay in
office until he dies.
Speaker 14 (18:52):
He's not acting like somebody who's worried about the consequences
of that. This is somebody who is behaving as an
Autocrat because they don't anymore believe he said to an election,
I don't need your votes anymore, and he doesn't. I
don't think Trump intends to leave office. I'm very clear
about that. I think he intends to stay in office
like putin till he dies.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
Have all the people in the world suffering from TDS.
Joy Raid's case is severe and appears to somehow be
getting worse. Joining us now is comedian and host of
Prime Time with Alex Stein. Alex, it is great to
see you. I have to get your reaction to Joy
Raid's lightest rant.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
Is it just me? Or is TDS getting worse?
Speaker 15 (19:35):
You know, Jory reads Trump arrangement sindrame might be the
actual worst case.
Speaker 11 (19:39):
I mean when it comes to the American media, like
she was so mad at Trump she even adopted his
hairstyle at one point.
Speaker 15 (19:45):
And now she just sadly.
Speaker 11 (19:47):
I don't want to just comment on her appearance, but
I think her appearances kind of it tells a much
louder story than she is with words, and she's not
looking great. She's mad at the president because he's actually
trying to fix this country and she wants to protect
the illegal immigrants that she could care less about this country.
So joy read being this upset about Trump. Still, I'm
(20:07):
not surprised. I don't think that she's going to change
her tune for the next three and a half years.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
Yeah, I'm not surprised either, And I know we like
to have some fun, but we have to turn to
the devastating situation in Texas. This is absolutely heartbreaking. More
than one hundred people have been killed, including dozens of
children in the floods, and alex this is your home state.
You know, how are you feeling, how are many of
you feeling at the moment, and what more can you
(20:31):
tell us about what's been unfolding.
Speaker 15 (20:34):
I mean, it is really bad, Gabriella.
Speaker 11 (20:36):
I'm a comedian and I like to joke around, but
there's absolutely nothing funny about what happened here. And you
know in Curville, Texas and Hunt, Texas where these kids
at this camp missed or swept away, and it was
twenty seven people passed away at that camp, and I
went to school with a guy by the name of
Davin Hunt. His daughter is tragically taken away in this
horrible tragedy. So I know people that are personally affected.
(20:57):
And I'll tell you this much, I don't think it's
Apologian's fault, but it is just very unusual to have
this type of flooding, you know, the first time, and
that this camp has ever had anything like this. So
it's just a horrible and fortunate situation that I don't
think we can blame our politicians obviously, but I mean
I just really don't know what to do. And something
happens that that is just this unthinkable, like young children
(21:18):
getting hurt, It just kind of it kind of makes
a question like, you know, why would God do something
like this? And I guess there's a bigger plan. But
I feel really sorry for the families that are just
really struggling, especially the Hunt family here in Dallas.
Speaker 15 (21:31):
I know that what they're going through is just something
I don't even want to imagine myself.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
Alex, I'm so sorry.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
We are so heartbroken and sending you all so much
love from here in Australia. It's been devastating to watch
it unfold and the amount of people being killed, it's
just hard to fathom. We know that Donald Trump will
be visiting Texas on Friday. He had this to say
a little earlier.
Speaker 6 (21:55):
Yeah, the Friday, you'd like to do how they are on, Well,
we're going to just make it as comfortable as possible
for the state of Texas. They have a great governor,
they have wonderful senators, they have wonderful representatives, and we're
going to work together with them. And we have been
working really very hard. This whole table has been working.
(22:17):
That was a terrible event, terrible event so that maybe
where Texas was just absolutely so badly hurt by something
that was a big surprise late in the evening. So
we'll be working with the governor and all of the
people of Texas. We'll be going on we'll be going
on Fridays.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
Alex you mentioned that looking at this event, it's not
really a time to blame politicians. Rosie O'Donnell has taken
a different view. This is her message.
Speaker 17 (22:48):
And you know, when the president guts all of the
early warning systems and the weathering forecast abilities of the government,
these are the results that we're going to start to
see on a daily basis because he's put this country
in so much danger by his horrible, horrible decisions and
(23:10):
this ridiculously immoral bill that he just signed into law
as Republicans cheered, as Republicans cheered, people will die as
a result, and they've started already. Shame on him, Shame
on every GOP sink e fan who's listening and following
(23:34):
the disastrous decisions of this mentally incapacitated bous Alex.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
What do you make of Rosio Donald?
Speaker 11 (23:43):
I mean, it's absolutely ridiculous to try to blame this
on Donald Trump. I mean, if people want to say
because there's budget cuts to the National Weather Service, that's
just incorrect, that's fake news. I mean, they did have
warnings about the weather, but in ninety minutes it was
a surge that they'd never seen. This camp had been
there for I believe over one hundred years, and nothing
like this had ever happened. So it was just the
(24:03):
I mean, I don't know how to describe it other
than the perfect storm that no politician could have stopped.
I mean, for her to blame the death of I
think it's over eighty people and twenty seven children at
this camp on Donald Trump just shows you that Rosie o'
donald's a sick person and she doesn't really care about
those kids. She's just using it as some sort of
a political tool to make her message against Donald Trump stronger.
(24:27):
And it's sad that those kids have to be used
like that by Rosie o'donald, who is just a disgusting
person in my.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
Opinion, Alex.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
The mainstream media is also blaming Donald Trump and climate change.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
Here is seen ins coverage of the disaster.
Speaker 9 (24:43):
How much do you think the changing climate is part
of what we are seeing go on here, not just
what we're seeing in the pictures that we're showing on
the screen, but even the flood that you talked about
in San Antonio in June.
Speaker 13 (25:00):
I think climate change is obviously a part of it.
These floods are happening more often in more parts of
the country and really all over the world, and so
we have to face that reality and be better prepared
for it and combat it.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
It seems a problem might have been the lack of
a flood warning system.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
The Weather Service.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
Has clarified that it had extra staff on duty during
the storm, and Homeland Security has had to call out
the media for lying. It posted the mainstream media is
deliberately lying about the events leading up to the catastrophic
flooding in Texas. The National Weather Service executed timely, precise
forecasting and warnings despite unprecedented rainfall overwhelming the region. Alex,
(25:41):
Are you surprised to see the mainstream media going straight
to blaming Donald Trump and of course climate change for this.
Speaker 11 (25:49):
Well, I'm not surprised whatsoever. And you know, it's obviously
humans have an effect on the climate. But one thing
that we're not talking about is out there our companies
now that are openly modifying the weather cloud seating technology.
So of course humans have an effect on the climate,
but I wonder how much that effect that we're doing
that we don't even know about, because it's, like I said,
it's just an unprecedented storm to have this sort of flooding,
(26:12):
and it's just it's never happened in I believe the
one hundred year history of the camp.
Speaker 15 (26:16):
Something weird is going on.
Speaker 11 (26:18):
We are affecting the weather, but I just wonder how
much of that effect is done on purpose and how
much of it is done just by the byproduct of
human beings living on Earth.
Speaker 15 (26:26):
So there's a lot of unanswered questions.
Speaker 11 (26:29):
I don't think that the government's going to be able
to really, you know, take the blame for this, because
I don't think it is their fault.
Speaker 15 (26:34):
I don't think it's a national weather service. I think
it's just a.
Speaker 11 (26:36):
Really unfortunate incident where sadly, these girls' lives are lost
because there's a horrible tragedy due to a weather disaster
that no human being could stop.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
Yeah, no, it's absolutely heartbreaking. Let's talk about Karen Bass.
ICE agents have carried out immigration rates in LA and
Karen Bass went to the scene to protest against them.
Here she is making a complete full of herself.
Speaker 10 (27:02):
I need to get.
Speaker 15 (27:11):
My comments.
Speaker 3 (27:12):
They need to leave, and they need to leave right now.
Speaker 12 (27:19):
Who do you speak with the phone, Alex.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
This comes after ICE agents have been shot at, they've
been targeted, and.
Speaker 1 (27:34):
Karen Bass is clearly on the side of illegals.
Speaker 15 (27:38):
One percent.
Speaker 11 (27:39):
And if you look at what Donald Trump is doing,
he actually wants to help out a lot of the
people that have been here for a long time.
Speaker 15 (27:44):
I mean, Donald Trump is not this evil.
Speaker 11 (27:46):
Person that the Left is trying to make him out
to be or Karen Bass is trying to make him
out to be. I think he's actually being critiques by
a lot of people on the right for not being
tough enough on immigration. So Donald Trump's not gonna be
able to make the right one hundred percent happy. He's
not gonna be able to make the left on a
hundred and happy. But what he needs to focus on
is getting out these violent criminals that are here in
our country. Now, if you're a person saved here for
twenty years and you're not a criminal, I don't think
(28:07):
that that needs to be our priority. But here in America,
our priority needs to be getting out all of the
gang bangers and all of the people that use fake
asylum to come to this country and take social services
away from American citizens that are struggling. So Karen Bass
trying to protect those people, there's no excuse for it.
Speaker 15 (28:21):
But the people that have been here and you know,
and live their life.
Speaker 11 (28:25):
I think Donald Trump is going to try to work
on a plan and you know, a way for them
to actually stay. So let's just let time, you know,
play out, and we'll see how this immigration thing kind
of works itself out. But right now, Karen Bass protecting criminals.
It's just not a good look.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
No, it's certainly not Alex. The Department of Justice and
the FBI says that pedophile Jeffrey Epstein died by suicide
and that there is no client list. This is raising
a lot of eyebrows.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
Let's just look back at what Pam Bondi had to
say earlier in the year.
Speaker 9 (28:56):
The DOJ may be releasing the list of Jeffrey epsteinan's clients.
Speaker 15 (29:01):
Will that really happen.
Speaker 18 (29:02):
It's sitting on my desk right now to review. That's
been a directive by President Trump.
Speaker 1 (29:08):
I'm reviewing that.
Speaker 18 (29:09):
I'm reviewing JFK files, MLK files. That's all in the
process of being reviewed because that was done at the
directive of the President from all of these agencies.
Speaker 11 (29:17):
So so have you seen anything there? You said, Oh,
my gosh.
Speaker 18 (29:21):
Not yet.
Speaker 2 (29:23):
Here's Caroline Levitt clarifying what Pam Bondy meant.
Speaker 19 (29:27):
So the FBI looks at the circumstances frounding the death
of Jeffrey Epstein. According to the report, this systematic review
revealed no incriminating client list. So what happened to the
Epstein client list that the Attorney General said she had
on her desk.
Speaker 16 (29:46):
Well, I think if you go back and look at
what the Attorney General said in that interview, which was
on your network on Fox News, go.
Speaker 19 (29:52):
Ahead, and Roberts said, DOJ maybe releasing the list of
Jeffrey Epstein's clients? Will that really happen? And she said,
it's sitting on my desk right now to review.
Speaker 16 (30:01):
Yes, she was saying the entirety of all of the paperwork,
all of the paper in relation to Jeffrey Epstein's crimes.
That's what the Attorney General was referring to. And I'll
let her speak for that. But again, when it comes
to the FBI and the Department of Justice, they are
more than committed to ensuring that bad people are put
behind bars.
Speaker 2 (30:19):
Alex, what's happened here? A lot of people are not
buying this.
Speaker 15 (30:23):
Yeah, nobody's buying it. Here in America.
Speaker 11 (30:25):
You have the left wing and the right wing yelling
at Pam Bondy for some transparency, and sadly we're not
going to get it. Because I think that the people
that are connected at Jeffrey Epstein debacle are some high
powerful people that would cause geopolitical conflicts with other countries.
And I think that's what it really comes down to.
That is now a matter of national security to keep
this list of private and nobody on both sides increased
(30:47):
with that strategy. I mean, we all wanted transparency. Donald
Trump campaigned on it, and now Pam Bondy is walking
back what she said she was going to do. So
I'm just telling you, even the most loyal Donald Trump
supporters on media or asking questions, why are we not
getting these answers when you said that they're going to
give us And we don't want to see victims.
Speaker 15 (31:07):
It's not that we want to try to expose any victims.
Speaker 11 (31:10):
We just want to expose the actors and the powerful
people that we're doing this on an island with children.
Speaker 15 (31:16):
So there's no excuse.
Speaker 11 (31:17):
And this is a big missed opportunity from the Trump
administration for not giving us a transparency that so many
Americans really want on both sides of the audice.
Speaker 2 (31:25):
Yeah, I completely agree with you there. Well, Joe Biden
is back. The former president claimed during a re public
appearance that he just keeps getting phone calls from officeholders
and European leaders asking for advice.
Speaker 1 (31:38):
During the Trump era, the strengthen.
Speaker 3 (31:40):
Dat et away, and I'm getting the calls.
Speaker 11 (31:46):
I'm not going to with a kid.
Speaker 3 (31:50):
From a number of European leaders.
Speaker 15 (31:53):
I'm not Anyways, the seeds are different.
Speaker 1 (31:58):
See telling the truth right now, Alex.
Speaker 11 (32:02):
You know what, honestly, he's he's probably a little too
seen now to even make that up.
Speaker 15 (32:05):
I bet people are calling.
Speaker 11 (32:07):
Him because if you really look back as much you know,
grief that we give Joe Biden, he's the only president
president to technically.
Speaker 15 (32:15):
Beat Donald Trump in an election.
Speaker 11 (32:17):
So in a way, he is kind of Donald Trump's
kryptonite in this weird kind of accidental uh you know, Uh,
he's like a guy that just keeps failing, but he
fails upwards. But yes, if you really look at it
on paper, Joe Biden's the only guy to ever beat
Donald Trump an election.
Speaker 15 (32:32):
In an election.
Speaker 11 (32:33):
So in that case, I wouldn't be surprised that other
foreign countries are asking him for advice.
Speaker 15 (32:37):
Will it help them at all?
Speaker 11 (32:38):
No, because he's probably just gonna draw on himself and
give him some you know, nonsensical answer. But I'm actually
not surprised that people are reaching out to you know,
former President Biden.
Speaker 2 (32:47):
Thank you, Alex Stein, thank you so much for joining
us on Power Hour and our hearts are with you
during this difficult time in Texas.
Speaker 1 (32:53):
Sending me all lots of love.
Speaker 15 (32:56):
Thank you, Gabriella. I told to you guys soon.
Speaker 2 (33:01):
Joining us now is Angela Mollard News Court colonists for
all the Royal News.
Speaker 1 (33:05):
Angela, great to see you.
Speaker 5 (33:07):
To see you too.
Speaker 2 (33:08):
King Charles has described how the two thousand and five
London bombings showed the very best of humanity in the
face of the very worst as he marked the twentieth
anniversary of the attack. He also said in a message
that his heartfelt thoughts and special prayers are with those
whose lives were changed forever on that terrible Summer's day.
What more can you tell us about how the Royal
(33:29):
family marks the anniversary.
Speaker 20 (33:31):
Yes, they're very aligned with the people that have suffered
during this and they talk a lot about community. Prince
William was also there yesterday.
Speaker 5 (33:39):
He was laying a wreath.
Speaker 20 (33:40):
I think the fact that the Royals come out to
these anniversaries that shows the community how much it meant.
As someone who was in London during that attack, it
was a horrifying time.
Speaker 5 (33:51):
To be there.
Speaker 20 (33:52):
It was just fifty two people died, as we know,
so many more were injured.
Speaker 5 (33:56):
And yes, time passes, but it.
Speaker 20 (33:58):
Doesn't mean that the whole of a terrorist attack like
that has that impact for decades following. And to have
members of the royal family really acknowledged that, not just
with a message but to turn up. The King of
course also laid a wreath and then beautifully fifty two
thousand white petals fell from the ceiling at that commemorative meeting,
(34:20):
and I just think.
Speaker 5 (34:20):
It's so important.
Speaker 20 (34:22):
This is where the royals can really lend a heart
in hand.
Speaker 1 (34:26):
Absolutely.
Speaker 2 (34:27):
Now King Charles, Queen Miller and the Prince and Princess
of Wales will welcome the President of France. I understand
there's going to be a carriage procession through the streets
of windsor what else can we expect.
Speaker 5 (34:37):
That's right, it's a three day visit.
Speaker 20 (34:39):
They'll be met by the Prince and Princess of Wales
at RAF Northolt tomorrow, so that'll be great.
Speaker 5 (34:43):
We'll see that Kate out there again.
Speaker 20 (34:45):
Look interesting because of course this tense relationship for you know,
hundreds of years between the French and the English, but
they call it the entent cordial.
Speaker 5 (34:53):
The fact that this is this cordial.
Speaker 20 (34:55):
Relationship between the Macrons and the King and Queen. I
love the fact that Bridget Macron, instead of being called
Madam Macron when she is going to be in England,
she's going to be called Missus Macron. She's very much
getting on board with the English language there rather than
the French. But in fact Prince King Charles does speak
fluent French.
Speaker 5 (35:14):
So it's a very you know, it's a close relationship.
This one. There'll be, as you say, a carriage ride.
Speaker 20 (35:20):
And there's also interestingly, they show each other the gifts
that each other.
Speaker 5 (35:23):
Have given in the past.
Speaker 20 (35:25):
So a carriage that was given by a former French
king to the monarchy, and then the horse that Macron
himself gifted to the King for the Queen for a
platinum jubilee in twenty twenty two is going to catch
up with the horse.
Speaker 5 (35:37):
So I think we'll be seeing a lot of them.
They won't be.
Speaker 20 (35:40):
Talking about, of course, lis lap, the slap that Bridget
Macron gave to her husband.
Speaker 5 (35:46):
That will not be a subject in conversation.
Speaker 1 (35:49):
I don't think.
Speaker 5 (35:49):
Oh well, certainly not in front of everybody.
Speaker 1 (35:51):
No, what we talked about it here on power hour.
That was unbelievable.
Speaker 2 (35:55):
Now there's been some controversy over the decision by Norwegian
Princess Ingrid Alexander to enroll at Sydney University.
Speaker 1 (36:02):
What's happened here?
Speaker 5 (36:03):
I love this story.
Speaker 20 (36:04):
There's a you know, a young European princess. She's chosen
to come to Sydney. She loves surfing. She's going to
study for a Bachelor of Arts in Sydney. But the
Norwegians have lost their minds about it. They've made smart,
crude remarks about it being a penal colony, the fact
that you know she's going back here like a prisoner,
(36:25):
the fact that she won't be there to do royal
duties for three years during her degree, and the complaints
have been such that her father, the King, has actually
had to come out and say this will be good
for the monarchy because she'll get some life experience since
she'll come back, and she'll be even more valuable to us.
Speaker 5 (36:39):
But it shows how to backwards they can be sometimes.
Speaker 1 (36:42):
That's hilarious.
Speaker 2 (36:43):
No, we're very much looking forward to having Ingrid Alexandra.
It's exciting for us here in Sydney. Now, Megan Markle,
she's posted once again in honor of a fourth of July.
She posted a video of how she was celebrating, and
that includes assembling food with the colors of the American
flag to her Instagram account.
Speaker 1 (37:01):
Andla, what do you make of this?
Speaker 2 (37:02):
She's really loving this kind of food blog in strictgram
influencer era of her.
Speaker 20 (37:08):
She is fully moved on from princess to influencer. In
my book, she's a cut price schne of Poultrow, I think,
and look, yeah, look, it's lovely that she celebrates this
national day. And in fact, she went on to show
the cupcakes that Harry had given her on their second date.
So the second date they had was the fourth of July,
he brought cupcakes for her.
Speaker 5 (37:26):
There was a picture from that day.
Speaker 20 (37:28):
She continues the traditions with the cupcakes with her own
children decorating them. It's just that it doesn't land, does it. Unfortunately,
they're really tone deaf on these sorts of things. Look,
it's I think talking about things that matter. She's moving
so far now into this very light. You know, she's
a humanitarian, evolved. She wanted to make a difference in
(37:51):
the world. She was offered the Commonwealth. She and Harry
by the Queen to lead the Commonwealth in terms of
the Royals and their positioning with it, and to have
put aside that to be showing off cupcakes. It just
feels like she's really missed an opportunity, and they've missed
an opportunity as a couple to have had that gravitas
in the world.
Speaker 2 (38:10):
Absolutely, and it's such a good point. The cupcakes. You know,
she just keeps bringing up, Oh, this is what it was,
our second date. We know the story, we were there,
we lived through it.
Speaker 1 (38:20):
We don't care about the cupcakes. But she's still going
to keep posting about it.
Speaker 2 (38:23):
But is Kansas Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have reportedly
let go of several staff.
Speaker 1 (38:27):
Members, including their PR team. This is apparently in an
effort to save some money. What do you make of
their decision to let go of their PR team.
Speaker 20 (38:36):
I think the one team they don't need to let
come of their PR team. In fact, I'm hoping they
rehire some people of significance to do that role. There's
a lot of talk in America that this is because
they actually can't afford them. We know they have a
long history of not being able to keep stuff, but
the fact they can't afford them. Their Netflix dealer is
supposed to expire this year. They pay huge taxes on
(38:59):
their property three million Australian dollars a year for security.
You have to wonder actually whether they can afford their
life because you might sell a few jams, but they
keep running out of stock, so that she's not making
huge amounts of money through that. We have to ask
what Harry's making money from. Of course he has money
from his late mother, but that's an inheritance. It's not
a replenishing amount.
Speaker 5 (39:19):
So where are they going to?
Speaker 20 (39:21):
You know, I'd love to see the inside workings of
their finances because you know, it's not like they're aligned
to the royal family and they have the benefits of that.
So yeah, it'd be interesting to see where they go
with their PRT from here on. But I'm looking for
a good hire, Yeah, good British hire.
Speaker 2 (39:37):
Actually telling them, telling them maybe to keep quiet, that
would be nice, exactly. Candela Malla, thank you so much.
Thanks and that is power our thank you for your company.
