On Scolus Oskolia.
This is the Reader Panalkey Show.
Good evening and welcome to the Rita Panekey Show. Coming up tonight Swedish Doom Goblin. Greta Thumberg is sailing to Gaza. We'll discuss that and plenty more with Caroline Marcus.
The cost of Victoria's renewable.
Energy plan has been understated by at least sixteen billion.
Professor Ian Plimer.
Will tell us more, and the wonderful Shamika Michelle will have the latest from the US, including a terrifying domestic terror attack in Colorado. Later in the Alkinsy Schofield, we'll have all your celebrity and will news, including the latest on the ugly Hugh Jackman and Deborah Lee Ferness divorce and leftis Losing It has a new YO pronoun do you identify as a flow?
Flow suggests fluidity, movement, change, which can be important symbols for gender. All right, now, let's see how to use these pronouns in a conversation. And this came so much. Have you seen Floria today? Yeah, Iran into floor at the library. Earlier today, Flawa was working on Full's presentation for tomorrow.
But first let's have a look at the day's top headlines with Sky News senior reporter Caroline Marcus. Caroline, the US has made it clear it wants allies to pull their weight and increase their defense spending to at least three percent of GDPA. US Defense Secretary Pete Hexett has met with Deputy Prime Minister Richard Miles and Singapore and asked Australia to boost its defense budget. This is something
that many experts have also called for. But Caroline, it would mean tens of billions of extra money going into the defense budget. Is that something you can see happening?
Well, where would that money come from? Rieu?
The government's already made all these big spending promises in order to win the election, and frankly they don't have the money to bear.
But that could be a huge problem for US.
According to a readout from this meeting in Singapore, Pete Hegseth asked his Australian counterpart, Richard Miles, to boost defense spending here to three point five percent. That's because the US wants it's allies, including Australia, to stop taking it for a free ride when it comes to defense spending. And expect all the money to be put in from the US and not make a fair contribution themselves. Now, look,
Richard Miles seemed to open to the idea initially. He even said that though he would continue the conversation and he understood why those that request was being made. But our Prime Minister Anthony Alberizi quickly dismissed them and he said, no, we will determine our own defense spending, thank you very much.
So it'll be interesting to see where this leads, because in a couple of weeks, mister Albinizi is Judah met Ju to meet the US President Donald Trump in Canada and he's going to be asking the US to reaffirm its commitment to orcus our nuclear submarine deal, as well as to lower the tariffs that it's going to put on our imports there. So will Australia get its way if it's refusing to do what the US is asking of it as a friend.
Well, I'll be speaking to Professor Implymer a little bit later about those steel tariffs and how the ub and Easy government is negotiating a decent deal for the country.
Yeah, there's a few things to worry about there.
Meanwhile, the coalitionist said that it's open to negotiating a deal with Labor regarding its proposal to double the tax rate on superbalances.
Of over three million.
Opposition trutary spokesman Ted O'Brien told The Australian what is being put forward really does breach a red line in taxing unrealized capital gains. But if Jim Chalmers is prepared to be humble for a moment and realize has made a mistake and which is to engage with me, my door is open.
Caroline.
Do you think Charmers is open to negotiating this policy. He doesn't need to labor one with a massive landslide. They have a mandate and they have the Greens holding the balance of power in the Senate.
Well, that's all very true.
I mean, look, he could be open to it at the moment. This policy as it stands would rake in two point three billion dollars initially per year for the government, and as we just talked about, they need all the money that they can get in order to pay for their big spending promises. Now they don't need the coalition supporter. As you point out, the Greens hold the balance of
power in the Senate. But if they were to make the deal with the coalition instead and maybe water down this policy or add protections like indexing the levels so that it doesn't with bracket creep take in more and more people on and their super annuation balances, then it
will be less of a contentious issue going forward. If they make the deal with the Greens who want the threshold lowered from three million dollars to two million dollars, then this stays a hot topic, possibly until the next election in another.
Three years time.
Well, we've got the Greens wanting the threshold to be lowered. Greensley that Larissa Waters told Australian that her party supports taxing unrealized capital gains.
Of course they do.
The only objection they have is that they want that threshold to be lowered to two million dollars Caroline.
And it sounds like a lot of money, but it really won't necessarily be, especially if that's baked in and in years time, you know, is an indexed with inflation, people could a lot more people could be earning that amount of money and having that in their superbalances, so it will catch a lot more.
People in the net.
It's already seen as an unfair policy by the Opposition and many economic experts. Because of the way that the policy is structured. That would make it even more unfair, you'd have to say. And possibly the most unfair aspect of it is it doesn't seem to include politicians like the Prime Minister, like many of the ministers, who have special benefits attached to their super and their pensions, and they wouldn't be personally affected by it, So that's possibly the most unfair aspect of it all.
Absolutely, and there's a fear that they will extend it to apply to other asset classes, whether we're talking about share portfolios or property or.
Any number of other assets.
Meanwhile, Senator James Patterson has admitted to tactical errors Caroline within the Coalition's foiled election bit, stating the obvious there. He also conceded it was a mistake to oppose Labour's income tax cuts at the election, and the Liberals also needed to be less antagonistic towards big business and support free enterprise. Now, Caroline, I don't know if the Coalition get it. I don't think if the Liberal parties still get it. They're clinging onto net zero. They're stating absolutely
captain obvious areas here. Of course they should have supported income tax cut. What sort of liberal party stands opposed to people keeping more of their own money, money they've earned.
That's what the core values of the Liberal Party should be, that it's for smaller government, for lower taxes. And the way that it argued against Labour's policy here made it look like they were the party of higher taxing than even the Labor Party, which is it's pretty extreme. I mean, the thing is that the coalition did offer various incentives
harving the fuel excise. It offered a one off tax offset for people, as well as other incentives when it came to property and mortgages, but I think these were more complex for voters to understand. Of course, everyone is an expert in hindsight, but that is just one thing as a liberal party that you can never be seen to be against and harrow tax cuts.
Absolutely, But I don't know if it's being an expert in hindsight, because if the Liberal Party actually listened to the advice given on Sky News, they wouldn't have made these mistakes. These are statements that were made throughout the election campaign that were in fact statements that were made throughout the year that they were on the wrong track and they really needed to make some bold decisions if there were any chance of winning, and they listened to
none of that advice. Now, Carra to a story I know we've both covered extensively, and World Boxing has banded Olympic gold millists Iman Khalif from the sport, advising the Algerian Boxing Federation the Khalif would have to undergo a mandatory sex test if Khalif wants to compete in future boxing competitions. International Boxing Bodies saying that it has introduced the measure following the furor surrounding Khalif winning gold at
the twenty twenty four Paris Olympics. Caroline, I remember at the time there were a lot of people outrage that this was even being talked about, but there was quite obviously something very wrong.
Absolutely in this case Imman Khalif and the Taiwanese boxer who also won at the Olympics gold medal. They are DSD athletes disorders of sex development slightly different from trans but it's similar in the sense that they are also said to be biologically male. They have x Y chromosomes, but they're born with disorders that mean that they during They don't go through puberty in exactly the same way, but they do go through a male puberty.
They might just not look male.
At birth, but there are to test whether you've got this disorder, and.
That's what both of these athletes are said to have.
Now it's similar to the issue of transgender athletes and women's sport because they've both reportedly gone through male puberty.
They have all the advantages that male.
Puberty affords you, bigger muscles, bigger heart, greater lung capacity. The Italian boxer female boxer Angela Karini, who came up against Munk Khalif in the Olympics in the first round, gave up after something like forty eight seconds. She said she'd never been punched so hard as she had by Imunk Khalif. So this is completely a common sense move and it's just unfortunate that it's taken this long to
get here. People were like yourself and and me were speaking out during the Olympics and many more people around the world, and we were dismissed by the Olympics Committee president Thomas Buck who called it a war issue and said these are women. Well, if they're women, have the very simple gender test, it's a cheek or those swab and it will define you as being biologically female and that by all means compete.
But until then, no, thank you.
Now Swedish doom goblin.
Greta Thumberg is in a boat and she's heading to Gaza.
Hello, I am currently standing on the Madeline, the ship that on Sunday, June first will attempt to again saale towards Gaza and to try to break the siege and open up a humanitarian corridor by delivering aid like food and medical supplies.
Carolina, what more can you tell me about this expedition.
Well, this is the second time Greta Thumberg is hoping to jump on a ship. Plan to jump on a ship and head out to go where frankly, I hope she remains and sees what life is really like, especially for women in Gaza. She is on this expedition with this group called Freedom Flotilla Coalition. They set off from Sicily and Southern Italy. They're hoping to as they say, break the Israeli siege on Gaza, deliver aid, raise awareness,
of the humanitarian crisis there. But of course Greta Thumberg only speaks about what she calls the genocide in Gaza and the starvation of.
All these people.
She never speaks about her mass, about the horror. She never puts any context into it, that this is a war that was started by a terror organization that has again, only days ago, refused to accept a ceasefire deal put forward from the US. It's only ever one side with her own, only ever propaganda. Apparently she's got tied a limit stuff now she's preaching us to us on this.
Yes, yes, Carolina Marcos, thank you so much for your time tonight, joining me now is a esteem geologist and author.
Professor in Plymer.
Let's start with Victoria reports in the Australian Financial Review that the cost of Victoria's renewable energy plan has been understated by at least sixty billion, with the total cost of households and businesses as a result of the transition to renewables said to be more than four times the four point three billion figure set out in the state's transition roadmap. Ian builds up high already in it seems they're only going to get.
Higher well, it doesn't surprise me. Every time you ask LA the government what's again to cost, they can never give you the number. Yet they are rapiting on about the cost of proposed nuclear using a false number. By the way, So the one thing that lay governments can't do is to handle the economy. They can take your money from you and spend it on all sorts of pet projects, but they can't balance the books and run an economy. So every time they've been asked the cost
of a project, they can't give it. So I'm not surprised it's a cost overrun.
But this is some doozy.
I mean, it's one thing to get the cost wrong by say twenty even one hundred percent. We're talking about four times that four hundred percent.
Well, how do you make it stuff up like that? That's almost possible to do.
I would have SAYD any project, you normally have a contingency in there, and so if you go beyond that contingency, it is a cost overrun. So not only have they gone above the contingency, they've just blown this right out. Now I don't know how you can do that.
Now, partly, you can do it if.
You have a lot of your mates from the unions working and overcharging. That's quite normal. But what governments have, it's the ability to actually raise revenue through tax. But what they never do is cut their costs. And this is a classic example of an ideological project that no one has costed, no one's looked at the costs, and people have thought, oh, yes, r okay, if we run over, we can retrieve this money from the poor, bleeding consumer.
Now we've got two hundred residents of the Victorian town of drang and apologies if I mispronounced that it's and many of these volunteer firefighters have expressed fears that proposals for two lithium ironed battery energy storage systems in the area would create an unacceptable fire risk, which has and this is an area in that's been ravaged by numerous bushfires over the years.
This isn't an isolated issue.
There are regional communities across the country with similar fears.
Well, there've been some huge battery fires around the train apps and these batteries you cannot put out a fire when you've got a big fire operating, and that's because they're a chemical battery and you've basically got to let them burn out. Now, during that burning, they produce toxic fumes. One of them is hydrofluoric acid. Now where geologists in laboratory is we dissolve rocks in hydrofluoric acid. That's how strong it is. If you want to etch glass, you
use hydrofluoric acid. So these battery fires produce extremely toxic chemicals. They can't be put out, and if you're in a bush fire prone area, they're the trigger from war fires. So any CFA member would be better to go down the pub rather than to try to put out one of these fires.
Well, hopefully a pub well away from the fire. Judging by these chemicals, is the same chemical that would be released if an electric car was alive.
Yes they are, but in the batteries see much much bigger and electric car fires. Again, you can't put them out. Now, some of these battery buyers can't be put out and they just burn out. But sometimes they take a week to burn out, during which time you've got no operational power systems, during which time you're putting toxic fumes into the air, into the soil, and into the waterways. It
is a really bad idea. We once said, cheap reliable electricity without these sort of problems and we've got rid of it.
Yes, it's psych They haven't thought this through.
Never mind the cost overruns, but just the practicality.
That's an understatement.
Haven't thought it through.
Now Prime Minister Anthony Alberdeasy has given Donald Trump some unsolicited advice following the US President's decision to double tariffs on Australian steel, lifting the tariff from twenty five percent to fifty percent. Labor labeling the move as an inappropriate action. That's a Albo's assessment there, and he wasn't done yet. He also said it would be an act of economic self harm for the United States. I'm sure the President of the United States is really appreciating these words of
wisdom from Anthony Albernezi. Economic advice from the labor prime minister.
Well, economic advice from someone who has no idea about economics, Economic advice from someone who's been in the politics and the union movement all their life, compared with that from a multi billionaire who's made a lot of money and had to watch his pennies, and economic advice from a minnow. Now, whatever Australia does, it's not going to affect the economics in the US, and tariffs have been around for a long period of time. The balance of trade is in
our favor. I don't know what mister Albin is going on about, because people in this country don't care about tariffs. The Americans don't care about the tariffs. They're looking at bigger things. And to have an economic illiterate trying to argue.
With someone who's been thinks it would tell you, oh.
Yes, yes, well that's with tofu as well, you're a green that's economically good.
What of the tariffs?
The Prime Minister is going to finally have a meeting with the President. It's taken some time to get this meeting. Now we know President Trump is well aware of things that people have said about him over the years, and the labor ministers, the Prime Minister himself have been very very foolish in saying some things that are really uncharitable, and that's putting it kindly. Is that going to come back to haunt us when these negotiations happen.
Well, Trump settle schools and there's been a lot of comment about Trump from people who are not very wise, and it wouldn't surprise me if Trump gave Albo a tongue lashing. He's done it to others. We saw it recently from the President of South Africa.
He's imagine if it pulls in a big TV screen.
Albert he's not getting that sort of true, but is.
Well informed, and he does have a number of Australian friends and he talks to them, and we have one big Australian company, Visy, who are active in the US. I'm sure he would talk to the Pratt family. I'm sure he would talk to others, and he would be well informed by his own staff as well as insiders. So it wouldn't surprise me if we saw a wonderful bit of television and see a tongue lashing of Elbow.
I do hope the meeting is televised, but it may just be a very quick thing behind closed doors.
Well, he's got to learn who Elbow is first. He doesn't know his name, so he's got a bit of catching up to do.
He does. I think he knows Albow's name.
I don't know if he knew Peter Dutton's name, so that was a little bit sad for Peter Dutton. So you think we are in a decent position to get a trade deal that's at least better than our trading partners, given that we're in a rare position of having a deficit with the US.
We are in fortunate and very rare position, and I suspect we could get a good trade deal, but it would not be mister Rado, mister Albinizi that could negotiate it. Someone like Joe Hockey would be the perfect person to do it, or even Anthony Pratt, or even Gina Reinhart. These are the people that you get the trade deal that we would need because the balance of trade is in the US Australia.
And that is highly unusual. There's only a handful of counties in that position. So let's hope for the best. Prophecy employment. Thank you so much for your time tonight.
Thank you still to come.
Lefties losing it plus a terrifying domestic terror attack rocks the state of Colorado, Chamigan Michelle as the details. You're watching the Panny his show and it's time for left He's losing it and bad news for MSNBC. Their ratings were already low, but they have plummeted even further in the crucial twenty five to fifty four age demographic. MSNBC has seen its ratings plunge forty one percent during prime time and thirty four percent across the total broadcast day compared.
With just a year ago. Now, this is according to leaked ratings figures. And I can't imagine why we finished.
It's bad.
It's a rare, it's a rare.
Weback.
Meanwhile in the back they're like, Okay.
Come back.
Why isn't there show a rating?
It's it's a mystery. And the host has suffered. The most humiliating collapse is Jensaki.
Let's have a look.
The speeches are getting much more disturbing and much more unhinged.
And we should all hear it that way.
Now to CNN, who would have been none too happy about airing an interview where a hostage helped by her mask, made it clear that the terrorists wanted Kamala Harris to win the election.
Scared of him. Yeah, they wanted two terrorists. We're afraid of Trump. Yeah, they wanted Kamala to be chosen. You talked to politics with them, Yeah, yeah, yeah, they wanted Kamala to be elected. When Trump came into became president. Yeah, the way they treated us changed for me personally, this is what.
I think, because they anticipated that a deal would come soon.
Yeah, and that's when they started giving you more.
Food exactly, more food. Treated me better, you know, Stop cursing me, stop speeding me, spitting on me.
Now to the Hollywood elite, here are some pearls of wisdom from Idris Elba, who thinks he knows how to stop knife crime in the UK.
Let's ban all those pointy kitchen knives.
The truth is is that kitchen knives are perhaps twenty five percent of the knives used in most of the terrible crimes. That's one of the stats in the films. And those kitchen knives are usually a domestic situation.
Okay, so kitchen.
Knives, of course, it's very difficult their domestic knife. I do think there is areas of innovation that we can do with kitchen knives. I hate to say, not all kitchen knives need to have a point on them. That sounds like a crazy thing to say, but actually it would reduce you know, you can still cut your food without the point on the knife, which is an innovative way to sort of look at it. And in a country in crisis. I'm sorry, but yeah, let's look at that.
Oh yes, Genu's idea there, maybe we can ban forks. Next, now to Dylan Mulvaney his back and this time he's promoting fashion label John Paul Gautier. Dylan taking more jobs from women. The patriarchy always wins. Now, a lot has been said about Democrat appointed activist judges, lawfare, and even the term judicial insurrection is starting to gain hold.
Here is a.
Judge not talking about constitutional matters, but the importance of judges looking like the offenders.
This is Judge Cassandra Collier Williams.
I thought that it was important that, especially in criminal cases, where when you have people that on one side of the bench, they can look at the judge and say, wow, she looks like me, then maybe I have a better shot.
Yep, that's really important.
By the way, that judge's own son is in jail for murder, murdering his wife, shooting her in the head three times.
Let's check it out with brave women's rights warrior Kelly J. Keane.
She's a great champion of women and she's in the US to fight against the excesses of the trans movement, But the young woman interviewing her here insists that Kelly J. Keen call men trans women.
A man who calls himself a woman is not one that you shouldn't transition to children.
So how are a trans women infringing onso women's faces?
So men in women's spaces makes it no longer a women's space, So we don't have a right to a woman's space if a man is a lad in it?
Have you ever felt personally on sero for the trans women in your presence?
Have I felt unsafe with man and my presence?
Yes, I'm a woman.
Yeah.
Now, so that would be free speech.
If you set your false free speech and you're trying to please my speech to call a man a man, then you wouldn't be for free speech, would you?
Are you four? Are you for free speech? I guess not? Very upsetting.
And here is Kelly J.
Kin telling women in burkers those dehumanizing Muslim modesty garments to free themselves.
You gotta love her, Free yourselves, ladies, free your faces, free your felves.
And exciting news, folks. There's a new pronoun in town. Yes, it's a flow and flows.
Here's how you use it.
This pronoun of the day is flow flows. Remember that these pronouns were requested by someone who does currently use them or intends to use them in the future. Word flow suggests fluidity, movement, change, which can be important symbols for genders. All right, now, let's see how to use these pronouns in a conversation. And this came so much. Have you seen Floor today?
Yeah?
I ran into flow at the library earlier today, Flaw was working on Flour's presentation for tomorrow. Oh nice, I can't mean to ask if Floor needs any.
Help with it.
Appreciate that Bill said that it's been really hard to handle all by fore self.
Now to Boulder, Colorado.
Earlier today the site of an act of terrorism domestic terrorism against a pro Israel demonstration. People were set alight, with a number of individuals seriously hurt, some with life threatening injuries.
This was among the first clips after the attack.
In the chaos, you can see people running towards and away from the attack, and you can see the alleged attacker, Mohammad Solomon to the left of your screen, topless and meters away from victims who he just set alight. He FBI direct Daksh Patil said the incident was a targeted terror attack. Let's have a look at this footage of the alleged terrorists shouting about Zionists as a badly injured woman is helped by brave individuals.
We can't do nothing.
Here, and in this clip you can see the man continuing to rant about Palestine and calling the pro Israeli protesters killers.
What we can't do.
He's got right here.
Joining me now is author and commentite Her Shamaka Michelle Shamika. It's hot to believe that that's America, but there's no doubt that the anti Jewish, anti Israel sentiment has intensified in recent wakes.
You know, Rita, it's really sad.
As you said, this is America, and this isn't something that I'm used to seeing, you know, being here all of my life, about twenty five years. I'm just kidding, but you know, it's just sad that we have to witness this, and it's sad that people just going out for a peaceful protests.
Have to be harmed in this manner.
And it really makes me upset that people would go out and do this to fellow Americans. I don't understand why Boulder is refusing to call it a terror attack. That's exactly what it is. But it just shows exactly how terrible the hold is the left had that they just won't call a thing a thing, they never say exactly what it is.
Well, you're right about that, because it seemed to be a clear case of domestic terrorism. There's so much footage of the incident and the alleged assailants saying what He's saying. And even after the FBI, the FBI labeled it a terror attack, local authorities in Colorado were reluctant to do.
So.
Let's listen to our bolder police chief Stephen Redford.
FBA is already calling it a tarnet, a terror atturn. Would you also refer to it as a terror attack?
So I've been in contact with our local FBI multiple times. We are in contact with them here. We're not calling it a terror attack at this point. Again, it's way too early to speculate motive.
You know.
I know there's a lot out there on social media, but I ask people just to give us a little bit of patience while we work through a really complex scene.
Shamika, why do you think this is that they are so reluctant to call spade a spade, even after it identifies itself as a spade.
I think they're just so used to lyon.
This is what mainstream media does, and they promote this type of behavior because someone behind the camera or behind the microphone should have called him on his foolishness.
Because if the FBI.
Has already determined this is what it is, what do you mean you don't know what the motive is? The man was hollering free Palestine. I just don't understand why we have to be so silly and pretend like we.
Don't know his motive when it's clear.
Well, there were anti Israel's speeches at a number of universities across the US in recent days, including MIT. Let's listen here to the class president mega V Muri, who spent a graduation speech advocating for Palestine and bashing Israel.
Last spring, MT's undergraduate body and graduate student union voted overwhelmingly to cut ties with the genocidal Israeli military. You called for a permanent ceasefire and Guza and you stood installidarity with the pro Palti and activists on campus. We are watching Israel try to wipe passign off the face of the earth, and it's a shame that MIT is a part of it. The Israeli occupation forces are the only foreign military that MIT has research ties with.
This means that Israel's.
Assault on the Palestinian people is not only aided and abetted by our country.
But our school, Shamika.
These protests across university campuses are ongoing. We're seeing some of their top students using a moment where they're supposed to be celebrating academic excellence, devoting it to activism. What is happening in American universities. I thought the Trump administration was really looking at tackling some of these issues.
You know, and Noah's going to take time, but I am so excited about them tackling these issues. The universities here are really just in doctrination camps. And I'm so glad this wasn't at my daughter's school. My two youngest just graduated college a couple of weeks ago, and I am so grateful that the speakers during their graduation ceremonies just really encouraged them. They applauded them for, you know, their accomplishments, told them how to go out into the world.
It was not a political rally or something that had absolutely nothing.
To do with them.
It just makes me upset that she took this time when.
Other people were graduating as well, to use this for her own, you know, special soapbox. I just I would have been in the audience booing her and telling her to shut it up, because this.
Was just not the time or the place.
Now, let's talk about Lee trum administration's efforts to deport the millions of illegal immigrants that Joe Biden allowed into the country. The Democrats are fighting this tooth and nail, using the courts activist judges, and we've got to hear veteran Democrat Jerry Nageler explaining why America needs illegal immigrants. He says, without them, who's going to pick the vegetables and have babies?
And we need immigrants in this country. Forget the fact that the farm that our vegetables would right in the ground if it weren't if they weren't being picked by many immigrants, many illegal immigrants. The fact is that the birth rate in this country is way below replacement level, which means our population is going to start.
Shrinking Shamika, we need illegal immigrants to pick vegetables.
Does that remind you of an argument from the long dark past, right exactly?
And how disrespectful it is to just diminish them down to vegetable pickers. You know, Jerry is actually shaped like a peanut eminem with legs. I just can't take him seriously. So many of them sit in these positions decades after decade, you know, and just say the craziest things. They don't even realize they're being racist or xenophobic. He's just coming out of his mouth to just diminish an entire group of people down to vegetable pickers.
That's something I would do, you know, just as a joke. To see this gag in conference is crazy.
You know, you would do it as a joke.
He's making that as a serious argument for stopping these deportations, a kin to arguing for keeping slavery.
Him and who else is going to pick the corton. It's just abhorrent.
Now you mentioned nobody trusting the mainstream media, the leftist mainstream media in the US, and earlier today seen and refer to that alleged domestic terrorist as a white man. Naturally, and here we've got NBC News gas lighting the nation, or trying to by calling a boy competing in and dominating girls sporting events, calling him a she, calling him her, and painting this grossly unfair situation is something to be celebrated.
Aby Hernandez opening up for the first time about her ongoing participation as a trans athlete in a high school girls sports competition, It's generated strong criticism, including from President Trump, who threatened to cut state funding if they quote illegally allow men to play in women's sports. This was the girl's triple jump varsity competition on Friday, held up Buchanan High School in Clovis. Hernandez took the top spot.
A few hours earlier, the.
High school teenager competed in the girl's high jump and long jump farsity, where she also ranked first place and qualified her to Saturday's events.
When you see how happy this kid is being herself, you know, the first time I saw her come out dressed as a girl, that she didn't have to hide.
It from me.
I saw it in her face, So I was like, this is it?
Well, yes, her boy is happy, but Shamika, what about the girls who lose out after years of trading.
Right, the actual girls are not happy at all.
And this is why I could never be a part of mainstream media because I would actually.
Call the boy a boy.
You know, if it walks like a duck, looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, it's a duck, that say boy. I don't care how long he grows his hair. I don't care that he wears makeup. I don't even care if he takes his male parts and sit him on a mantle and pray to them, you're a boy. And so it just makes me upset that we have these grown adults that won't lead these kids in the right direction to say, look, this is the way you are created.
This is what you are.
You can't change it. You can't change your chromosomes. Therefore you cannot change your gender.
You are what you are.
And that's just the bottom line.
We would never be promoting this. If he said I want to be Spider Man, we would never say, while, go up to the tallest building and climb out the window and let's see you scale down.
We would never say that to him.
So I don't understand why we are allowing children or even adults to think there's something that they.
Aren't Schamika, Michelle, thank you so much for your time tonight. Still to come the latest on the Hugh Jackman departly for nest divorce. Kinsey Schofield is up next. Welcome back Joining Me Now. Celebrity and royal commentator Kinsey Schofield Kinsey Young New York singles have told The New York Post that being maga is more attractive now than ever before. It's never been a better time to date as a conservative, set Cjparson, co chair of the GOP Youth Advisory Council.
He added, being conservative right now is the coolest it's ever been, and that women want to be with a guy who's a and I quote a provider who they feel safe around. Is that being your experience, Kinsey.
I know you're not in New York, but you get around. Is being conservative the hot cool thing now?
I think it's certainly more accepted in Hollywood.
You would never dare admit who you voted for if you were a conservative, because not only would it cost you a job, it would cost you friends. And with this particular organization, it helps that they're pretty funny and clever.
One of the socials.
Bringing young conservative singles together is called make America Hot again. So I mean, obviously you're going to see that on a flyer or a Facebook invite, and it's going to pick your curiosity and you're going to say, I want to know what that's about.
Well, I think it has been noted throughout the election campaign that sometimes you could just pick the party by the appearance appearance of the supporters.
Make of that what you will.
Now.
Season three of Sex and the City spin off Just Like That is out and.
The first episode features a guest appearance from Rosy O'Donnell playing a virgin.
Nun named Mary.
Naturally, now Mary meets Miranda played by Cynthia Nixon and Mary the Virgin Nune. After meeting Miranda at a lesbian bar, they end up in bed together, Kinz, I mean, I would rather stick a thumb tacks in my eyes than watch mess.
Welcome to Hell, you know, And Just Like That is disappointing to so many fans because it forgets what made Sex and the City fund in the first place, bold friendship, fearless humor, and smart, flawed women.
The original was witty, irreverent, and sharp.
The reboot it's like everyone's been lobotomized and handed a BuzzFeed article on how to sound progressive. The jokes are awkward and the dialogue feels more like a lecture than banter. And you're right, if I could, I'll never unsee what I just witnessed on your show.
Reader, I'm I'm filing a complaint. Rosie needs to put a shirt on.
I don't blame you.
Yeah, that series, even six in the City itself, I argue you jump the shark after a few years. Yes, it was great to begin with, and then it deteriorated in a quick time. Now, deborahly for Ness, Australian depitly for Ness, is finally filed for divorce from Hugh Jackman, citing betrayal and nice guy. Hugh responded by posting this the following day, and note the music and the lyrics, Kinsey.
Hugh Jackman is being called out for that right rightfully, so explained to my audience who may not be familiar with that song and the lyrics.
Why he's been called out, Well.
Look, I think the big scandal here is the affair, the alleged affair, I should say, with actress Sutton Foster and Debrah was so gracious and kind and spoke out about the traumatic journey of betrayal last week, saying that there split was a profound wound that cuts deep and for Hugh to be so insensitive. People do believe that the betrayal of Sutton, who he recently moved into his home, and this is just on.
Top of all of the chaos surrounding him.
That he bought with Deborah Lee Finesse the home they brought together, which would be an extra wound to deal.
With, absolutely, and she stood by him when he was a no one, you know, and watched helped elevate him and cheerlead him into this amazing career that he has today. So I do think that he is he's jeopardizing his career because on top of this, he has the association and the scandal with Ryan Reynolds, who you know, he very well could be drawn into the Justin Baldoni lawsuit thanks to text messages and things like that.
So he needs to tread lightly.
Oh, he certainly does.
I think that the gracious thing would have been just to say nothing, but to post something like that, it's not only juvenile, it's so dismissive of his former wives hurt, and she was quite brave in being forthcoming about the betrayal and how deeply it cut her.
Now let's talk about Ashley Sinclair.
We haven't talked about her for a few weeks. She's one of the latest Elon baby mammas. Now she has said that Elon and she's done another interview, this time with The New York Times, and she says Elon father another child, this time with a Japanese pop star, and he told an ex that he would offer his sperm to anyone. Kinsey, We're going to see women just forming an orderly queue here.
What's this about.
Surely Elon isn't going to be just fathering children with random women.
I mean, here's so many kids.
Ancestry dot com has started fundraising for a bigger server.
There's not enough space. The family tree is now a forest. And if he'll just give his sperm to anybody, I'm like, is Amber heard a possibility?
I know I'm the only one that's beating the drum weekly, but I'm like, this is getting a little too suspicious based on what he was willing to pay Ashley, Yes, women would line up and they would keep their mouths shut and they would have his baby.
I'm surprised she's doing more interviews. I just don't know why she wants to be in the spotlight, because a lot of the baby mamas apparently don't want that. They're quite happy to raise the kids without the fad fare. Meghan Markael is said to be teaming up with Beyonce's mom, Tina Knowles for a surprise podcast episode.
Can't wait for this, Kinsey, Yeah, I know, we're both so thrilled, right, So this is after completing the initial eight episode run, Meghan announced that she's releasing this additional episode with Beyonce's mom on Tuesday, and some of us are trying to understand why she's returning to her entertainment roots here or even the archetypes failed format. The shift away from the show's original focus on founders and entrepreneurs as raising eyebrows, and some of us are.
Interpreting it as a calculated rebrand.
But there are others that are arguing that this is just you know, she's trying to go out with a bang.
I think it's odd, you know, is she going to teach us?
Why?
What is Tina going to.
Is Meghan going to like try to become a manager to Lily? That's my question, is that the next route we're going.
Well, if that's what she wants to do, get Chris Jenner on, because I think Chris Jenner is one of those people who got that jar of jam and she's the best at that role, much better than Tina and Knowles, because really her daughters don't seem to have any obvious talents and all of them are just enormously rich and famous.
Before you go, just on Meghan, Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz have hired Meghan's lawyer to help them with their reputation management amid continuing reports of refine within the family.
Is that really wise?
I wouldn't have thought Harry and Meghan's reputations were the best in the industry.
Right, Like, why stop there? Go ahead and hire the captain of the Titanic while you're at it. Hiring their crisis team or their lawyers or whatever is like asking.
For a match to put out a fire. It only makes things worse.
And now everyone is watching, so good luck, thoughts and prayers to Brooklyn and his wife.
Well, this is a little bit sad though, to see Brooklyn falling out with his mum and dad because David and Victoria Beckham, they've always presented this image of having this very united, close family and to have their eldest son kind of be a strange because of his partner.
No one wants to see that at Kinsey Schofield. It's always a pleasure.
Thank you so much for your time tonight, and that's it for me. I'll see you at eleven tomorrow night.
Up next, it's Newsnight,
