Trevor Noah Lies About Charlie Kirk's Murder and Hollywood Elite Melt Down Over Politics

[00:00] And it's time for Lefties Losing It.

[00:03] Let's start the week with some cringe

[00:05] content courtesy of Hollywood. Here is

[00:08] Jeff Bridges on Jimmy Kimmel's awful

[00:11] program reprising his dude character. It

[00:15] does not go well.

[00:16] >> And uh

[00:19] yeah, ice. Let's get Ice off our streets

[00:23] and into our beverages. This aggression

[00:26] will not stand. Huh. Right. Right.

[00:30] >> So, let's just abide. Huh? Abide

[00:33] together. Yes, we can do this.

[00:38] >> Now, that's just like my opinion, but

[00:41] it's a good one.

[00:42] >> That's a pretty great opinion, I think.

[00:44] Thank you, dude.

[00:45] >> You can see why Jimmy Kimmel's ratings

[00:48] are circling the drain after that little

[00:51] suspension bump. Not only is he

[00:53] miserable, unfunny, and cringe, but so

[00:56] are his guests. And talking about

[00:58] miserable and unfunny, let's check in on

[01:01] alleged comic Trevor Noah, who decided

[01:03] he was going to make jokes about Charlie

[01:06] Kirk and his murder. And he did that by

[01:09] lying about it. He might think this is

[01:11] edgy, but it's just trash. Unfunny, dumb

[01:15] trash, lacking any wit or insight.

[01:18] >> I wasn't going to say anything about

[01:20] Charlie Cook, but don't. There's nothing

[01:22] funny about it. Oh, now you tested me. I

[01:25] mean, there's there's nothing funny

[01:27] about it. You can't say there's nothing

[01:29] funny about it. No, there's nothing

[01:31] funny. No, don't say that. Because as a

[01:32] comedian, I'll be like, I'm sure there's

[01:34] something funny about it. The guy was

[01:36] shot while defending guns. Do you

[01:38] understand how I'm not even writing that

[01:40] as a joke? As a human, you have to admit

[01:43] that is an inongruous funny thing that

[01:45] happens. You are there on you're like on

[01:48] stage, you're like, "Let me tell you why

[01:49] people should have guns."

[01:53] What a pitiful jerk. And for the record,

[01:56] Charlie wasn't killed defending the

[01:59] Second Amendment. He was murdered as he

[02:01] was about to answer a question about

[02:03] trans killers, about trans activists

[02:05] committing acts of violence. But Trevor

[02:08] Noah didn't make that point, did he? If

[02:10] you wanted to talk about irony, he could

[02:12] have talked about the fact that Charlie

[02:15] was allegedly murdered by a trans

[02:17] activist in a relationship with someone

[02:19] who is trans who murdered Charlie as he

[02:23] was answering a question about trans

[02:26] violence. Trevor Noah doesn't have the

[02:27] guts to do that. He just plays to the

[02:30] easy leftist loser crowd who don't want

[02:33] to laugh. They want to applaud right-on

[02:35] comments like train seals. Now, let's

[02:38] talk about awful. Affluent white female

[02:41] leftists. They are a growing problem and

[02:43] they dominate Democrat ranks. Yes, there

[02:46] is something wrong with Democrat women

[02:48] and it runs a lot deeper than the

[02:50] craziness of the squad. Let's look at

[02:52] the woman who is the frontr runner to be

[02:55] the most powerful in America. She's the

[02:58] front runner to be the next governor of

[03:00] California. Here's a brief highlights

[03:03] package of her meltdown on CBS recently.

[03:07] >> How would I need them in order to win,

[03:09] man?

[03:09] >> Well, unless you think you're going to

[03:10] get 60% of the vote. You think you'll

[03:13] get 60%. So, you don't need

[03:14] >> I feel like this is unnecessarily

[03:16] argumentative. What is your question?

[03:17] It's the do you need them to win part

[03:19] that I don't understand. I'm happy to

[03:20] answer the answer the question as you

[03:22] have it written and I'll answer. What

[03:23] I'm saying to you is that

[03:25] >> well to those voters. Okay. So, so you

[03:27] >> I don't want to keep doing this. I'm

[03:28] going to call it. Okay.

[03:29] >> Thank you.

[03:32] You're not going to do the interview

[03:33] with us?

[03:34] >> Nope. Not like this. I'm not. Not with

[03:35] seven follow-ups to every single

[03:36] question you ask.

[03:38] >> Every other candidate has answered us.

[03:40] >> I don't care.

[03:41] >> Yep. That's Katie Porter, and she's

[03:43] leading in the polls to take over

[03:46] California, the fourth biggest economy

[03:48] in the world. Maybe that meltdown will

[03:51] change things, but she's been unhinged

[03:53] for a long time. Here she is berating a

[03:56] staff member for getting in her shot. if

[04:00] we don't um electrify our transportation

[04:03] sector that we're going to lose more

[04:05] than half a million Californians dying

[04:08] prematurely to air pollution and other

[04:10] problems and the state could lose

[04:14] get out of my shot.

[04:16] >> I wanted to tell you that that's

[04:17] actually incorrect. It's it's not that

[04:19] it's electric vehicles. It's that if we

[04:21] don't make the commitments under the

[04:23] Paris climate accord.

[04:24] >> Okay. It does. Okay. You also were in my

[04:27] shop before that.

[04:29] stay out of my shot.

[04:32] >> And let's hear this election night story

[04:34] from Katie Porter involving her young

[04:37] daughter.

[04:38] >> So on election night, I was with I went

[04:40] to pick up my daughter from water polo

[04:41] practice and she's 12 and she got in a

[04:44] car and she was crying. She said, "Mom,

[04:47] Trump won. Trump's going to win. And

[04:50] what if I get raped and I need to have

[04:52] an abortion?" This is from a 12year-old,

[04:54] my 12-year-old daughter. And so it was

[04:56] really a reminder of how scary this time

[04:59] is for people.

[05:00] >> Oh, Katie, you brought your family into

[05:03] this. That was a mistake because we're

[05:05] now going to check in on what happened

[05:06] during your divorce proceedings. Yes.

[05:09] Katie's ex-husband, Matthew Hoffman,

[05:11] detailed that the Democrat frequently

[05:14] abused him and threw all sorts of things

[05:16] at him during their marriage. She once

[05:18] shattered a glass coffee pot on their

[05:21] kitchen counter when she felt their

[05:22] house wasn't clean enough. The

[05:25] ex-husband also said she would not let

[05:27] me have a cell phone because she said,

[05:30] "You're too effing dumb to operate it."

[05:33] And most incredibly, he said that Kate

[05:36] Porter once became so insensed by the

[05:38] way he was making mashed potatoes that

[05:41] she raised a ceramic bowl of steaming

[05:44] hot potatoes and dumped them on his

[05:47] head, burning his scalp. And she's the

[05:49] front runner to be the governor of

[05:52] California. Now goodness me, Democrats

[05:54] are slow learners. And talking about

[05:56] slow learners, let's check in with ABC.

[05:59] Let's have a look at Vice President J. D

[06:01] Vance absolutely demolishing George

[06:04] Stephanopoulos, the long-term Democrat

[06:07] operative turned ABC news anchor did not

[06:10] see this coming and his reaction to it

[06:13] was to abruptly end the interview. This

[06:17] is certainly a lefty losing it.

[06:19] >> I don't know what tape you're referring

[06:21] to, George. I saw media reports that Tom

[06:23] Holman accepted a bribe. There's no

[06:25] evidence of that. And here's George why

[06:28] fewer and fewer people watch your

[06:29] program and why you're losing

[06:31] credibility because you're talking for

[06:33] now 5 minutes with the vice president of

[06:35] the United States about this story

[06:37] regarding Tom Holman. A story that I've

[06:39] read about, but I don't even know the

[06:41] video that you're talking about.

[06:42] Meanwhile, low-income women can't get

[06:45] food because the Democrats and Chuck

[06:47] Schumer have shut down the government.

[06:48] right now we're trying to figure out how

[06:50] to pay our troops because Chuck Schumer

[06:52] has shut down the government. You are

[06:54] focused on a bogus story. You're

[06:56] insinuating criminal wrongdoing against

[06:58] a guy who has done nothing wrong instead

[07:00] of focusing on the fact that our country

[07:03] is struggling because our government's

[07:05] shut down. Let's talk about the real

[07:06] issues. George, I think the American

[07:08] people would benefit much more from that

[07:10] than from you going down some weird

[07:12] left-wing rabbit hole where the facts

[07:15] clearly show that Tom H. Homeman didn't

[07:16] engage in any criminal wrongdoing. Uh,

[07:18] it's not a weird left-wing rabbit hole.

[07:20] I didn't insinuate anything. I asked you

[07:21] whether Tom Hman accepted $50,000 as was

[07:24] heard on an audio tape recorded by the

[07:26] FBI in September 2024, and you did not

[07:29] answer the question. Thank you for your

[07:31] time this morning.

[07:32] >> No,

[07:33] is up next. We'll be right back.

[07:36] >> Joining me now is Newsweek senior editor

[07:39] at large and article 3 project senior

[07:41] counsel Josh Hammer. Josh JD Vance had

[07:44] this to say about that interview he

[07:46] posted on X. Peace in the Middle East,

[07:48] China threatening critical supply

[07:50] chains, government shutdown. No, George

[07:53] doesn't care about that. He's here to

[07:55] focus on the real story. A fake scandal

[07:57] involving Tom Hman. I got to say, Josh,

[08:01] I don't know why George quit that

[08:03] interview so abruptly. Uh surely he's

[08:06] not so sensitive about JD calling out

[08:09] his dwindling audience numbers.

[08:12] Yeah, Rita. A ABC, let's not forget, was

[08:16] the media organization that hosted the

[08:18] vice presidential debate between JD

[08:20] Vance and Tim Walls. A a a truly

[08:22] loathome and pathetic

[08:24] attempt at a moderated debate. It was

[08:26] that was actually probably the single

[08:27] worst moderated debate, at least my

[08:29] estimation, of the entire cycle last

[08:31] year. So, they've shown their true

[08:33] colors. I mean, frankly, I mean,

[08:34] frankly, when it comes to to the

[08:36] corporate media here in the United

[08:37] States, who has not shown their true

[08:38] colors? I mean, CBS News making a very

[08:40] interesting decision and hiring Barry

[08:42] Weiss to be editor-inchief. We'll see

[08:43] how that how that plays out, but ABC

[08:46] certainly doubling down on stupid and JD

[08:49] Vance is totally right, by the way,

[08:50] which is that this is this is this is

[08:52] exactly why all these networks are just

[08:53] losing ratings. ABC is also Jimmy

[08:55] Kimmel's network that we saw what

[08:57] happened with Jimmy Kimmel recently

[08:58] >> when you had when you had Sinclair and

[09:00] Nextar and various other affiliates that

[09:02] that decided to briefly drop his show

[09:04] from the air. So I I you know Rita this

[09:07] is why more Americans in general

[09:08] especially in my generation millennials

[09:10] Gen Z this is this is why so many people

[09:12] come up without even having access to TV

[09:15] the people these days get their news on

[09:16] the internet they get their news on

[09:18] social media here I mean very few people

[09:20] are watching ABC NBC and CBS other than

[09:23] Boomer 65 and up there but JD Vance is

[09:26] not a boomer JD Vance is very much of

[09:28] buy and for a younger generation that's

[09:30] one of the many reasons Rita why I was

[09:31] so personally excited and gung-ho about

[09:33] his political candidacy in the first

[09:35] place there. And I think it's one of his

[09:36] major appeals moving forward as we

[09:38] barrel ahead towards 2028.

[09:42] >> And ABC had to pay Donald Trump a

[09:46] sizable amount for some of the uh

[09:49] misreporting, misinformation, deliberate

[09:52] uh disinformation, whatever you want to

[09:54] call it. Now, I featured Katie Porter

[09:57] earlier. She has a long history of

[09:59] erratic behavior, underperformance, all

[10:02] sorts of staffing issues, and yet she is

[10:04] the front runner to be the next governor

[10:06] of California, the fourth biggest

[10:08] economy in the world. Josh, it's

[10:10] extraordinary.

[10:13] >> Yeah, California. I I mean, speaking of

[10:14] doubling down on stupid, right? I mean,

[10:16] we're going to say how ABC is doubling

[10:17] down stupid. I I I I mean, what what

[10:20] what is it going to take for California

[10:22] to sober up at this point? I I mean

[10:23] frankly the fact that California Rita is

[10:25] going down the rabbit hole today is I

[10:27] have plenty of fellow conservatives here

[10:28] in the United States who are like oh

[10:29] California. Well look in theory I would

[10:32] like to salvage California. Call me

[10:34] idealistic call me crazy. California is

[10:37] one massive. It's a lot of people. Two

[10:40] it's beautiful. Three it's a it's a

[10:42] massive economy. So I I in theory I

[10:44] would really love for Californians to

[10:46] come to their freaking senses and to

[10:48] stop voting for absolute fools to the

[10:50] governor's mansion and the state

[10:52] legislature in Sacramento. But

[10:53] unfortunately Ria, you can't help a

[10:55] people that does not want to help

[10:57] themselves. This is the exact same

[10:59] mentality that I find myself having over

[11:00] and over again when it comes to the

[11:02] crisis in Europe. I very much have

[11:04] enjoyed my visits to Europe over the

[11:06] years. I enjoy going to the classic

[11:07] cathedrals and the old streets. It's

[11:09] very different than what we have here in

[11:10] the United States there. I would like

[11:12] for Europe to be preserved, but the

[11:13] Europeans don't want to help themselves

[11:15] when it comes to immigration from

[11:17] cultures that simply do not mesh with

[11:18] their own and so forth there. So, so

[11:19] same same apparently with California.

[11:21] Californians don't want to help

[11:23] themselves. I I I genuinely wish they

[11:25] would. But if they think that they're

[11:26] going to get any better governance after

[11:28] Gavin Newsome than Katie freaking

[11:29] Porter, then you know, I mean, I've got

[11:31] some news for them and that's that's

[11:32] simp that's simply not going to be the

[11:34] case. I wish that California would get

[11:35] back to the state that was governed once

[11:37] upon a time by Ronald Reagan. There was

[11:39] a long stream even Arnold Schwarzenegger

[11:41] not exactly a conservative but a

[11:42] moderate Republican. It wasn't that long

[11:44] ago that California was actually

[11:46] politically not crazy. It's been

[11:48] leftleaning for a long time but it was

[11:50] not crazy not that long ago. It's a

[11:52] fairly recent trend and unfortunately

[11:53] it's a really dastardly one.

[11:57] Now, we've been covering the Jay Jones

[11:59] scandal on this program, more than most

[12:02] of the US media who have uh some of them

[12:04] have devoted zero time to the Democrat's

[12:07] attorney general nominee for the great

[12:09] state of Virginia, sending horrendous

[12:12] messages about wanting to see a

[12:14] Republican colleague dead along with the

[12:17] man's young children. It is just

[12:21] incredible that he is still in the race,

[12:23] Josh. Have a look at these Democrats.

[12:26] They're asked whether they're willing to

[12:28] condemn Jay Jones and ask him to drop

[12:30] out of the race.

[12:32] >> He has apologized. I wish other people

[12:33] in public life would sincerely apologize

[12:36] for stuff. So, no, I I still am a

[12:37] supporter.

[12:38] >> Quick question. Do you think Jay Jones

[12:39] should drop out of the Virginia race for

[12:41] AG, the AG candidate in Virginia, Jay

[12:45] Jones, should drop out of the race after

[12:47] those violent texts that came out of

[12:49] what he was saying about the former

[12:51] House Speaker in Virginia?

[12:53] I, you know, being somebody who has, uh,

[12:57] in my family, you know, political

[13:00] violence is a real thing and it's a big

[13:02] deal.

[13:02] >> Do you think the Virginia AG candidate J

[13:05] should leave the race?

[13:07] >> Time at the moment. Thank you.

[13:09] >> Okay. Did you see those texts though

[13:10] that he sent the violent text messages

[13:15] out of the race? Senator Jay Jones.

[13:18] >> Senator, do you have any comment on J

[13:20] when you get back to the office? There

[13:21] you go, Josh. Bernie, Chuck, uh, the

[13:25] rest of the lawmakers there, most of

[13:26] them didn't even want to address the

[13:28] question. Is that good enough?

[13:32] No. I mean, it's obviously not even

[13:34] remotely close to good enough. Rita,

[13:35] this is the problem with the current

[13:36] Democratic party in a nutshell is that

[13:38] they have this absolute fanatical,

[13:41] radical, desivilizational,

[13:43] anti-American, burn it all down flank. I

[13:45] I I call them the shock troops of the

[13:47] Democratic party. That's the Black Lives

[13:49] Matter, Antifa, street thug wing of the

[13:52] Democratic Party movement. And they are

[13:54] increasingly an extremely violrone

[13:57] movement. And unlike the summer of love

[13:59] of 2020 where it was mostly limited to

[14:01] looting and arson, vandalism and

[14:03] property crimes, it's increasingly

[14:05] becoming not just property crimes, but

[14:07] violence. I I mean, we saw a a direct

[14:09] line a direct line from all of the Biden

[14:12] Harris administration's various threats

[14:14] about how Donald Trump and MAGA

[14:16] Republicans represented an existential

[14:18] threat to democracy. Do you remember

[14:19] that that that infamous speech that Joe

[14:22] Biden gave in in Philadelphia three

[14:24] years ago? It was over Labor Day weekend

[14:25] here with the red backdrop. I mean, it

[14:27] was giving off frankly 1930s German

[14:30] style vibes. And I I can draw a direct

[14:32] line from that to people, multiple

[14:34] people trying to assassinate Donald J.

[14:36] Trump. I'm not saying that that anyone

[14:38] other than the direct moral culpability

[14:40] goes the shooter. But the reality is

[14:42] these things don't happen in a vacuum.

[14:43] There was a there's a shocking recent

[14:45] poll out of Harvard University that

[14:46] showed that over 30% over 30% of Harvard

[14:50] students said that they could

[14:51] potentially see a world in which they

[14:53] could justify acts of violence to

[14:55] prevent a speaker from speaking on

[14:57] campus. These are the kind of things

[14:59] whether it's that whether it's Jay Jones

[15:01] fantasizing about committing political

[15:03] violence. Th this is the issue. I mean

[15:05] I'm not exaggerating. This literally is

[15:07] the issue that could bring this republic

[15:08] to the brink. It really is. I mean, when

[15:11] when Americans or any people who are a

[15:14] living in a self-governing republic,

[15:16] when you cease to be able to settle your

[15:18] political disputes, your moral disputes,

[15:20] your policy agreements, when you lose

[15:21] the ability to settle that at the ballot

[15:23] box with the pen, with the keyboard, the

[15:25] megaphone, and so forth, and instead you

[15:27] resort to the to the rifle and bullets

[15:29] and the knife, that is how republics

[15:31] die. This is really no joke. There's no

[15:33] exaggeration there. And I find it

[15:34] absolutely appalling, albeit wholly

[15:37] unsurprising that so few Democrats other

[15:39] than perhaps Senator Kelly of Arizona

[15:41] are willing to say anything whatsoever

[15:42] about Jay Jones.

[15:46] >> Well, let's talk about Portland now.

[15:48] We've certainly seen political violence

[15:50] in that place. Uh Donald Trump is

[15:53] determined to clean clean it up. He says

[15:55] it's like a war zone. It's in decay.

[15:57] It's crime riddled. The Oregon governor

[16:00] obviously doesn't agree. The socialist

[16:02] city council doesn't agree. But even the

[16:05] New York Times, Josh, is finally

[16:07] questioning the wisdom of far-left rule

[16:10] and asking what happens when socialists

[16:13] are in charge. Portland offers a

[16:15] glimpse. Josh, let's take a glimpse at

[16:18] Portland. This is the third world

[16:20] conditions you have to negotiate to

[16:22] reach Barnes and Noble at the Lloyd

[16:25] Center

[16:26] >> and Lloyd Center. And we parked in the

[16:28] parking garage. And now we're going to

[16:29] go up the stairs into the mall. And this

[16:32] is what is here. I wish you could smell

[16:34] it cuz it smells like pee.

[16:38] New pee and old. Watch your step.

[16:43] >> So this is the only way to get upstairs

[16:47] if you're parked right here to get to

[16:50] Lloyd Center.

[16:52] >> Josh, I'll take that back. I've been to

[16:54] third world countries. They're normally

[16:56] in a lot better shape than that.

[16:58] You know, Portland once upon a time was

[17:00] a a a shining example of of what a a

[17:04] forwardlooking and forwardthinking

[17:06] American city might look like. I'm

[17:07] thinking back 30, 40 years ago. But at

[17:10] at this point, I think you're right,

[17:12] Rita. I I I've actually never been to

[17:14] Portland, but based on all that I've

[17:15] been able to glean there, my friend Andy

[17:17] know has been ground zero with the

[17:19] Portland Antifa riots for years and

[17:21] years now. and all that I've seen, I

[17:23] think you can make a very strong

[17:24] argument that Portland is in worse

[17:26] condition on a day-to-day basis from a

[17:28] cost of living from a quality of life,

[17:29] from a crime perspective than your

[17:31] typical subsaharan African city. I mean,

[17:33] that that that's that's essentially what

[17:35] it looks like to me. But Portland has

[17:36] also become a shining example,

[17:38] unfortunately, of a broader national

[17:40] trend, which is you have these cities

[17:42] that are governed in politically

[17:43] monolithic fashion by Democrats year

[17:45] after year, decade after decade. I'm

[17:47] thinking of cities like Baltimore,

[17:49] Maryland, Detroit, Michigan, St. Louis,

[17:51] Missouri, Portland. So many of these

[17:53] cities just have mayor after mayor after

[17:56] mayor who are of one party, one party

[17:58] only. Chicago, another big example

[17:59] there. I can't think of I can't think of

[18:01] a single example. I can't I literally

[18:03] cannot think of a single example top of

[18:05] my head of an American city that has had

[18:07] monolithic uniarty democratic governance

[18:10] for decades and has been better off

[18:12] because of it. But the cherry on top

[18:14] cherry on top is because the New York

[18:15] Times here, this is the article they're

[18:17] saying, "Oh, here's socialism at work."

[18:19] Dude, you guys have covered for Zoran

[18:22] Mdani. The New York Times has offered

[18:24] all sorts of of apologia for Zoran

[18:27] freaking Mamani. A guy, I would argue

[18:30] for whom socialist is actually far too

[18:32] kind. This is a guy who literally quotes

[18:34] Karl Marxist communist manifesto. He is

[18:36] a died in the wool Marxist communist. I

[18:39] think socialist is genuinely not

[18:41] accurate. He's an actual literal

[18:43] communist. So the New York Times a month

[18:45] before the election that's probably

[18:46] going to put this Hamas supporting pro-

[18:49] jihad commie in the mayoral office

[18:52] there. Really? You guys are crying foul

[18:54] this late in the game? You had a really

[18:56] long time the New York Times back

[18:58] Democratic primary to just try to stop

[19:00] him there. And now I it's so ridiculous.

[19:03] But ultimately, Rita, you reap what you

[19:05] seow and and and the people of New York

[19:06] are think are are tragically going to

[19:08] reap what they sow here and it's going

[19:09] to look a lot like Portland sooner

[19:10] rather than later. I fear.

[19:13] >> Now, before you go, Josh, President

[19:15] Trump will address the Israeli

[19:17] parliament, the Knesset, um about his

[19:19] triumph in brokering a historic peace

[19:22] deal. Uh this is going to be something

[19:24] that's going to be talked about for

[19:26] years to come. But I want to ask you

[19:28] about some of the anti-Israeli sentiment

[19:31] that has been normalized in America.

[19:34] Listen to this discussion between

[19:36] Democrat Congresswoman Rashida Talib and

[19:38] Hassan Per.

[19:41] Listen to how they talk about Israel.

[19:44] >> It is absolutely a violent apartheid

[19:47] state.

[19:48] >> No, it's it's a it's an ideology.

[19:50] Zionism is an exterminationist ideology

[19:52] built around ethnos ethnoreigious

[19:55] supremacist values. So, uh, when when

[19:58] people say like, "Oh, well, you know,

[20:00] I'm a liberal Zionist, like I want there

[20:02] to be a Jewish I want I'm a liberal

[20:04] Zionist. I want there to be a Jewish

[20:05] ethnostate." I'm like, "Okay." Like,

[20:07] what do you mean? It's like saying

[20:08] you're like a liberal Nazi. You want a a

[20:11] an Aryan majority ethnostate.

[20:15] >> Josh, I'm going to ask you to be

[20:16] succinct. I'm sure there's plenty you

[20:18] could say, but what's your response to

[20:20] that?

[20:21] You know, Rita, as the great Dennis

[20:23] Prager always says, you know, how many

[20:24] Muslim majority countries are in the

[20:26] world and and the Jews are not entitled

[20:28] to one tiny state to run the size of New

[20:30] Jersey? I I mean, it's just so utterly

[20:32] preposterous. You know, unfortunately,

[20:34] Rita, I I I wish that the Israel issue

[20:37] were solely an issue where the left is

[20:38] crazy. But there are some fringe voices

[20:40] on the right that are getting way out of

[20:42] hand on this stuff as well. I'm not sure

[20:43] if this reached Australia, but I was

[20:45] actually accused this past week while I

[20:47] was offline for a Jewish holiday by

[20:49] Candace Owens of being complicit in the

[20:51] assassination of my friend Charlie Kirk.

[20:53] I kid you not, that is literally what

[20:55] she accused me of. It is an insane,

[20:57] deranged, evil thing to say. And the

[20:59] only reason that she is doing this, the

[21:01] only reason is because I myself am

[21:03] Jewish and a supporter of Israel. And it

[21:04] complicates their narrative that Charlie

[21:06] Kirk actually was a firm die in the wool

[21:09] friend of the Jews and support of

[21:10] Israel. It's on the very very fringes of

[21:12] of the quote unquote far right. I'm not

[21:14] even sure I want to call Candace Owens

[21:16] the far right there, but it's very much

[21:17] in the mainstream left as well. And it's

[21:18] a big problem that we have to address

[21:20] all across the political spectrum.

[21:21] >> Josh, just on Candace Owens, there are

[21:24] plenty of conspiracy theories right now

[21:26] about Charlie Kirk's murder, about

[21:28] whether the official narrative is

[21:31] accurate.

[21:32] How did your name start being mentioned

[21:35] in these conspiracy theories?

[21:38] >> It's not entirely clear. I I I think the

[21:40] the alleged series of events is that I

[21:43] was in this this very active WhatsApp

[21:45] chat with Charlie Kirk where he was

[21:47] blowing off Steam Inventing the day

[21:48] before his assassination about how he

[21:50] lost a $2 million a year Turning Point

[21:52] USA donation from a prominent Jewish

[21:54] donor. And then Candace took this tweet

[21:56] of mine from a day or two before

[21:58] Charlie's assassination, which is

[21:59] literally about an entirely different

[22:01] topic about the horrific savage butchery

[22:03] of of Arena Zerutska on the Charlotte

[22:06] light rail. And I was quote tweeting a

[22:08] tweet from Donald Trump about about

[22:10] public executions and I said based and

[22:13] Candace Owens said this totally out of

[22:14] context. He was like, "Oh my god, Josh

[22:15] Hammers is foreshadowing the

[22:17] assassination of Charlie Kirk for

[22:19] turning against Israel." I I mean it's

[22:21] contemptable. I'm a lawyer. I know this

[22:23] is likely defamatory conduct. We're

[22:25] looking into possible legal action there

[22:26] and I'll keep you apprised of it.

[22:29] >> Josh Hammer, thanks for your time.

[22:31] Joining me now is celebrity and royal

[22:33] commentator Kinsey Scoffield. Kinsey.

[22:36] Sources close to Harry and Megan have

[22:38] revealed they were shocked by Megan's

[22:40] solo Paris trip last week, saying her

[22:43] latest relaunch left them deeply

[22:46] concerned about her marriage to Prince

[22:49] Harry. What more can you tell me?

[22:51] >> That's right. This is coming from the

[22:52] Daily Mail that say the Sussex's both,

[22:55] but especially Harry would typically

[22:57] turn down opportunities in Paris because

[22:58] it's where his mother tragically died.

[23:01] We learned over the weekend that Megan

[23:02] wasn't even invited to the Balenciaga

[23:04] fashion show. She personally reached out

[23:07] to the designer and asked if she could

[23:09] attend. Completely dismissive of Prince

[23:11] Harry's feelings. Then following that

[23:13] bizarre trip to Paris as she accepted a

[23:16] humanitarian of the year award for

[23:18] selling jam, she removed Harry's hand

[23:20] from her back on the red carpet. And

[23:23] then the two were spotted going their

[23:24] separate ways throughout New York during

[23:26] their visit. I think this is a

[23:28] legitimate observation when Prince Harry

[23:30] won't shut up about security.

[23:35] >> That is very interesting indeed. Now,

[23:38] Megan Markle is going to be joining

[23:40] former Vice President Camala Harris and

[23:42] Selena Gomez in Washington DC this week

[23:45] for the Fortune magazine's annual most

[23:50] powerful women's summit where she will

[23:52] discuss her lifestyle brand as ever and

[23:55] talk about navigating entrepreneurship

[23:58] in the public eye and building a brand

[24:00] that will endure. I mean, I don't know

[24:02] how she can do that because this brand

[24:04] was created three minutes ago. Kinsey,

[24:07] if this is the best, most powerful women

[24:09] list they can put together, then it

[24:12] doesn't say much for this publication. I

[24:15] mean, really, Megan Markle, how is she

[24:18] powerful? How is she

[24:21] >> an inspiration to women? She she married

[24:23] someone famous from what I can work out.

[24:26] >> Oh my gosh. Is that not the truth? She's

[24:28] Is she the most powerful in the chicken

[24:30] coupe in Monaceto? Because that I could

[24:32] understand. Yeah. you you know the the

[24:34] idea the TIG American Rivier orchard

[24:37] archetypes confessions of a female

[24:38] founder the British royal family these

[24:40] are all just some of the opportunities

[24:42] that Meghan Markle quit cold turkey what

[24:45] can she teach us about building a brand

[24:47] that will endure her rebrands are giving

[24:50] us whiplash over here I will say it's

[24:52] interesting that Megan has spent such a

[24:54] significant amount of time away from

[24:56] home at between Paris now she's heading

[24:59] to Washington DC after telling Netflix

[25:01] cameras that being away from her

[25:02] children made her physically ill.

[25:07] >> Yeah. And so many of these trips, like

[25:08] you said, are unnecessary. It's not like

[25:11] this is part of her business. This is

[25:13] part of uh uh charitable work she's

[25:17] doing. She's basically swanning around

[25:18] going to fashion shows and collecting

[25:20] awards she doesn't really deserve. So,

[25:23] you know, do you really need to be doing

[25:24] that? Now to uh revelations that Prince

[25:27] Andrew allegedly emailed pedophile

[25:30] Jeffrey Epstein long after he claimed to

[25:33] have cut all ties, telling him they

[25:36] would write out their scandal together

[25:38] and would get to play some more soon

[25:42] just a day after the notorious photo of

[25:44] him with Gileain Maxwell and his sex

[25:47] accuser Virginia Roberts uh was first

[25:50] published. Kinsey,

[25:53] how accurate is this? How legitimate is

[25:55] this? Cuz if he's posting things like

[25:58] play some more soon to Jeffrey Epstein,

[26:00] I mean, that is just gross.

[26:03] >> I mean, I'm pretty confident in this

[26:04] report. It's coming from the Sun. Um,

[26:07] you know, Prince Andrew sent that

[26:09] message on February 28th, 2011. And

[26:11] that's significant because Andrew has

[26:13] previously insisted that he traveled to

[26:15] New York on December 2010 to break up

[26:18] with his friend Jeffrey Epstein and to

[26:20] end that association. But I, you know, I

[26:22] do think that these emails are likely

[26:25] credible. It's from the same source that

[26:27] brought us those Fergie emails a few

[26:29] weeks ago where she's apologizing

[26:31] profusely to Epstein. Uh, and it's just

[26:34] further proof that Andrew has no

[26:35] business showing his face around the

[26:37] British royal family. If he would lie

[26:39] about the timeline, what else is he

[26:41] capable of lying about?

[26:45] Now, we spoke last week about

[26:48] confirmation that Katie Perry and former

[26:50] Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau

[26:52] are dating. We've all seen those photos

[26:55] now. The loved up couple spotted kissing

[26:58] and canoodling on uh Perry's 24 meter

[27:02] yacht. Kinsey. Um well, I think they're

[27:06] built for each other. I've got to say

[27:07] they're both vacuous. They're both

[27:10] selfobsessed. Uh, and uh, I think they

[27:13] are make a perfect match.

[27:16] >> I And they kind of look like siblings.

[27:18] Yeah. I mean, apparently climate change

[27:20] only matters,

[27:20] >> actually. Yeah. Has she been to Cuba as

[27:23] well?

[27:24] >> Exactly.

[27:26] I mean, apparently climate only change

[27:28] only matters until the champagne's

[27:30] chilled and the yacht is fueled. Um,

[27:32] romance on the high seas of hypocrisy.

[27:35] You know, Trudeau and Katie are both

[27:37] climate change warriors. um and proving

[27:40] that liberal guilt sinks faster than

[27:42] their carbon footprint. Besides that

[27:44] though, I am enjoying watching Trudeau's

[27:45] midlife crisis, that it's like the the

[27:47] best reality show ever.

[27:51] Now, Jennifer Lopez, uh she's had a few

[27:55] missteps recently. She's had a bunch of

[27:58] flops, awful movies, cancelled concerts,

[28:01] and her latest one, um, Kiss of the

[28:04] Spiderwoman, is expected to open to a

[28:07] measly $2 million in sales by the end of

[28:11] the holiday weekend. That's not great,

[28:13] is it, Kinsey?

[28:14] >> No. And I'm curious about your opinion

[28:16] here because there's this interesting

[28:18] piece in the New York Post about this

[28:20] and the author says negative

[28:22] associations are tough to shake off. And

[28:24] he mentions JLo's earlier career um

[28:27] becoming this lovable star in romcoms

[28:29] like The Wedding Planner, Maiden

[28:31] Manhattan, and and Monster-in-law, but

[28:33] this negative associations are tough to

[28:35] shake off. He's like saying that now

[28:36] she's become associated with flops. I

[28:39] think it's Diddy and I think it's the

[28:41] fact that she did not speak out. Yes,

[28:43] she's got drama in her personal life,

[28:45] but I also think people really were

[28:46] disappointed that she didn't speak out

[28:48] against P. Diddy throughout the height

[28:49] of that chaos.

[28:53] I think that had a lot to do with it. I

[28:55] think her uh on again offagain

[28:58] relationship with Ben Affleck. The the

[29:00] just the impression that she's not a

[29:02] very nice person. There's a lot of

[29:03] people who've come out and talked about

[29:05] their interactions with her and how she

[29:07] treated them. There's a lot of Will

[29:09] Smith about what happened with her.

[29:11] they're very much loved and seen in a

[29:14] particular light and that all just

[29:16] turned on its head and now they do have

[29:19] these negative connotations and and it

[29:22] definitely is impacting their their

[29:24] professional life as well. Just quickly

[29:26] before you go, tell me about California

[29:29] Governor Gavin Newsome trying to get Joe

[29:31] Rogan to talk to him either on Joe

[29:34] Rogan's podcast or perhaps possibly on

[29:37] uh Newsm's podcast. Uh, how well is this

[29:40] little campaign going for the governor?

[29:43] >> This guy is so irrelevant and it

[29:45] absolutely kills him. He goes on a

[29:47] reality stars podcast and starts cursing

[29:50] and, you know, he's just so desperate

[29:52] for headlines and he challenges Joe

[29:54] Rogan. He wants to go on Joe Rogan's

[29:56] podcast because Rogan's podcast is the

[29:58] cool podcast, not Newsome's podcast.

[30:00] >> The audience. Yeah.

[30:02] >> Yeah. But so he's basically just begging

[30:04] for attention.

[30:08] Well, I tell you, I can understand why

[30:09] Joe Rogan wants to have nothing to do

[30:12] with him. Didn't Joe Rogan flee

[30:14] California because of Gavin Newsome's

[30:17] policies? And it wasn't just CO era

[30:19] policies. It's everything else that he's

[30:22] uh overseen in California. You've got

[30:25] the the crime rate, the the the massive

[30:28] gap between rich and poor and all the

[30:31] impact that has. is just a dysfunctional

[30:34] state and it's why so many Californians

[30:36] have left for places like Texas and

[30:39] Tennessee and Florida. Kinsey Scoffield,

[30:41] always a pleasure. Thanks for your time

[30:43] tonight.
